1 Under Listing Rule 4.7.3, an entity must lodge with ASX a completed Appendix 4G at the same time as it lodges its annual report with ASX. Listing Rule 4.10.3 requires an entity that is included in the official list as an ASX Listing to include in its annual report either a corporate governance statement that meets the requirements of that rule or the URL of the page on its website where such a statement is located. The corporate governance statement must disclose the extent to which the entity has followed the recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council during the reporting period. If the entity has not followed a recommendation for any part of the reporting period, its corporate governance statement must separately identify that recommendation and the period during which it was not followed and state its reasons for not following the recommendation and what (if any) alternative governance practices it adopted in lieu of the recommendation during that period. Under Listing Rule 4.7.4, if an entity chooses to include its corporate governance statement on its website rather than in its annual report, it must lodge a copy of the corporate governance statement with ASX at the same time as it lodges its annual report with ASX. The corporate governance statement must be current as at the effective date specified in that statement for the purposes of rule 4.10.3.
2 “Corporate governance statement” is defined in Listing Rule 19.12 to mean the statement referred to in Listing Rule 4.10.3 which discloses the extent to which an entity has followed the recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council during a particular reporting period.
3 Mark whichever option is correct and then complete the page number(s) of the annual report, or the URL of the web page, where the entity’s corporate governance statement can be found. You can, if you wish, delete the option which is not applicable.
Throughout this form, where you are given two or more options to select, you can, if you wish, delete any option which is not applicable and just retain the option that is applicable. If you select an option that includes “OR” at the end of the selection and you delete the other options, you can also, if you wish, delete the “OR” at the end of the selection.

Informal Reviews |
Given the size and scale of operations of MGT, the Board determines those matters that would usually be the responsibility of a committee. The Chairman is responsible for evaluating the performance of the Board and individual directors. This is generally done through a discussion with the Chair where matters such as work programmes and perceived strengths and weaknesses of the Board are discussed. The review is currently informal but is based on a review of goals for the Board and individual Directors. The goals are based on corporate requirements and any areas for improvement that may be identified. The Chairman will provide each Director with confidential feedback on his or her performance. There was no formal performance evaluation during the financial year. Non-Executive Directors have not received individual performance evaluations in the period. Formal performance reviews have not been put in place with the current size and scale of operations. |
| ASX Recommendation 1.7:A listed entity should: a) have and disclose a process for periodically evaluating the performance of its senior executives; and b) disclose, in relation to each reporting period, whether a performance evaluation was undertaken in the |

Risk Explanation Development of MGT’s gold, tin and future uranium projects. The development of MGT’s gold, tin and future uranium projects will require substantial capital expenditure, experienced personnel and a number of regulatory approvals. There are a number of uncertainties inherent in the development of any mining project including: timing and cost of exploration and then development; availability and cost of skilled labour, power, water and transportation facilities; obtaining necessary environmental and other governmental permits and the timing of permits addressing landholder, native title, cultural heritage and community issues unexpected technical, geographical, geological or environmental issues not readily apparent at the commencement of development. The risks and uncertainties could result in MGT not realising its development plans or in such plans generating less revenue than expected, costing more than expected or taking longer to realise than expected. Any of these outcomes could have an adverse effect on MGT’s financial and future operating performance. |

| Development of MGT’s gold, tin and future uranium projects. |
The development of MGT’s gold, tin and future uranium projects will require substantial capital expenditure, experienced personnel and a number of regulatory approvals. There are a number of uncertainties inherent in the development of any mining project including: timing and cost of exploration and then development; availability and cost of skilled labour, power, water and transportation facilities; obtaining necessary environmental and other governmental permits and the timing of permits addressing landholder, native title, cultural heritage and community issues unexpected technical, geographical, geological or environmental issues not readily apparent at the commencement of development.

Any of these outcomes could have an adverse effect on MGT’s financial and future operating performance. |
==> picture [84 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
| Security of tenure and necessary approvals |
Risk that the necessary land use approvals (including, in respect of any native title rights and cultural heritage sites) and environmental permits may not be obtained, granted or renewed, or may be obtained, granted or renewed on terms not satisfactory to MGT, or may be obtained, granted or renewed but not within the timeframes anticipated by MGT. Although the Company is confident the approvals will be granted, and any further environmental approvals, permits and/or conditions obtained or satisfied (as the case may be), there is a risk that this may not occur, occur on terms not satisfactory to MGT or that there maybe delays. |
| Operating history |
MGT does not currently conduct mining production operations. There can be no assurance that it can bring its gold, tin or uranium projects or any of its future projects into production or operate any such projects profitably. While the Company aims to generate working capital through future mining operations, there is no assurance that the Company will be capable of producing positive cash flow on a consistent basis or that any such funds will be available for further exploration and development programs. |
| Future capital requirements |
There will be substantial capital expenditure and costs associated with sustaining operations of any future gold, tin or uranium project and closure costs on completion of operations. Development of future gold, tin and uranium projects and MGTs’ other exploration activities require substantial further debt and equity financing in the future. Whilst MGT entered into a funding arrangement with Joseph Capital (Hong Kong) Limited on 3 June 2016 via a share placement agreement for $1m which settled on 19thJuly 2016, with a further funding agreement announced on 14thSeptember 2016 by way of a $500,000 convertible note, further funding will be required to continue to meet working capital requirements and to meet debt repayment obligations. Although the Company believes that additional capital can be obtained, no assurance can be made that appropriate capital or funding, if and when needed, will be available on terms acceptable to MGT. If MGT is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce, delay or suspend its operations and this could have a material adverse effect on its activities. |
| Reliance on key personnel and employees |
Retaining and recruiting personnel is critical to the Company's success and growth prospects. If MGT cannot retain and attract qualified personnel it could adversely affect MGT's current exploration and development programs and its future growth plans as well as the development and operation of the tin, gold and future uraniumprojects. |
