Canadian Shareholder Disclosure

In accordance with Canadian National Instrument 71-102 Continuous Disclosure and Other Exemptions Relating to Foreign Issuers ("NI 71-102"), Austral Gold Limited confirms that it is a Designated Foreign Issuer for the purposes of Canadian securities laws and is subject to the regulatory requirements of the Australian Securities Exchange Limited ("ASX"). As a result, this Notice of Meeting and accompanying materials have been prepared in accordance with Australian law and ASX requirements and pursuant to Section 3.2 of NI 71-102, have been sent to Canadian registered shareholders and Canadian beneficial shareholders, including Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners ("NOBOs") and Objecting Beneficial Owners ("OBOs") in the same manner and at the same time, or as soon as practicable after it was sent to holders of securities of that class in the Company's local jurisdiction, being Australia.

Record Dates and Voting Entitlement

The Directors have determined under Regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth) that the persons eligible to vote at the Meeting are those who are registered Shareholders of the Company that are quoted on the ASX at 7:00pm (AEST) on Tuesday, 26 May 2026.

In addition, for the purposes of Canadian securities laws, the Company will prepare a list of persons who are registered holders of Shares listed on the TSX Venture Exchange as at the close of business on 1 April 2026 (Toronto time) (the "Record Date"), together with the number of Shares registered in the name of each such holder at that time.

Beneficial Ownership in Canada

In Canada, most shareholders hold their Shares through a broker, bank, trust company, or other intermediary and are therefore considered "beneficial owners." Beneficial owners may be classified as either Non-Objecting Beneficial NOBOs or OBOs under Canadian securities laws.

In accordance with applicable Canadian requirements, the Company or its transfer agent will request a list of NOBOs from the relevant intermediaries and will send meeting materials directly to those holders. Meeting materials for beneficial owners who are OBOs will be provided to the relevant intermediaries, who are responsible for forwarding the materials to those beneficial owners.

Beneficial owners are not registered shareholders and, accordingly, are not entitled to vote directly at the Meeting. Beneficial owners who wish to vote must do so by following the voting instructions provided by their intermediary, including, where permitted, by appointing themselves or another person as proxyholder in accordance with those instructions.

Each Shareholder is entitled to one vote for each Share in that Shareholder's name as it appears on the list.

Should you wish to discuss the matters in this Notice of Meeting, please do not hesitate to contact the Company Secretary, using the contact details on page 20.

Power of Attorney

If the proxy form is signed under a power of attorney on behalf of a Shareholder, then the attorney must make sure that either the original power of attorney or a certified copy is sent with the proxy form, unless the power of attorney has already provided it to the Share Registry.

Corporate Representatives

If a representative of a corporate shareholder or a corporate proxy will be attending the Meeting, the representative should bring to the Meeting adequate evidence of their appointment, unless this has previously been provided to the Share Registry.

An appointment of corporate representative form may be obtained from Computershare by online at: https://www-au.computershare.com/Investor/#Help/PrintableForms.

Voting By Non-Registered Shareholders in Canada

Only registered Shareholders or the persons they appoint as their proxies are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most Canadian Shareholders are "non-registered" or "beneficial" Shareholders (Non-Registered Shareholders) because the Shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the name of an intermediary (such as a brokerage firm, bank or trust company) or a clearing agency (such as Canadian Depository for Securities Limited (CDS).

In accordance with Canadian securities laws, the Company copies of the Meeting Materials have been or will be provided, via mail or electronically, to clearing agencies and Intermediaries for distribution to Non-Registered Shareholders unless a Non-Registered Shareholder has waived the right to receive them.

Generally, Non-Registered Shareholders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials will receive either:

  • a voting instruction form (VIF) which must be completed and returned in accordance with the intermediary's instructions; or
  • a form of proxy signed by the intermediary and restricted to the number of Shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Shareholder.

Typically, the VIF will consist of a one-page pre-printed form. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge) in Canada and the United States. Broadridge typically prepares a machine-readable VIF, mails those forms to Non-Registered Shareholders and asks Non-Registered Shareholders to return the forms to Broadridge or otherwise communicate voting instructions to Broadridge (by way of the Internet or telephone). Broadridge then tabulates the results of all votes received from the non-registered shareholders which it provides to Computershare to present at the Meeting. Sometimes, instead of the one-page pre-printed form, the VIF will consist of a regular printed proxy form accompanied by a page of instructions which contains a removable label with a bar-code and other information. For this form of proxy to validly constitute a VIF, the Non-Registered Shareholder must remove the label from the instructions and affix it to the form of proxy, properly complete and sign the form of proxy and submit it to the Intermediary or its service company in accordance with the instructions of the Intermediary or its service company. A Non-Registered Shareholder who receives a VIF cannot use that form to vote their Shares at the Meeting;

OR

  • be given a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number of Shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Shareholder but which is otherwise not completed by the Intermediary. Because the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the Non-Registered Shareholder when submitting the proxy. In this case, the Non-Registered Shareholder who wishes to submit a proxy should properly complete the form

of proxy and deposit it with Computershare Investor Services, 320 Bay St 14th Floor, Toronto, ON, M5H 4A6.

In either case, the purpose of these procedures is to permit Non-Registered Shareholders to direct the voting of the Common Shares they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Shareholder who receives one of the above forms wish to vote at the Meeting, or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof, (or have another person attend and vote on behalf of the Non-Registered Shareholder), the Non-Registered Shareholder should strike out the persons named in the voting instruction form and insert the Non-Registered Shareholder or such other person's name in the blank space provided.

The Non-Registered Shareholders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when and how the VIF is to be delivered.

A Non-Registered Shareholder may revoke a VIF or a waiver of the right to receive Meeting Materials and to vote which has been given to an Intermediary at any time by written notice to the Intermediary provided that an Intermediary is not required to act on a revocation of a VIF or of a waiver of the right to receive Meeting Materials and to vote, which is not received by the Intermediary at least seven (7) days prior to the Meeting. Non-Registered Shareholders fall into two categories: those who object to their identity being made known to the issuers of securities which they own ("Objecting Beneficial Owners" or "OBOs") and those who do not object to their identity being made known to the issuers of the securities they own ("Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners" or "NOBOs").

Questions to the Board and Management

Shareholders will have a reasonable opportunity at the Annual General Meeting to ask questions relating to the management of the Company and any items of business set out in this Notice of Meeting.

To assist with the efficient conduct of the AGM, Shareholders are also invited to submit written questions in advance of the meeting. These may be directed to the Board, the Company's management, or relate to any agenda items.

Please send written questions to the Joint Company Secretary at: [email protected] with the email subject "AGD – 2026 Questions".

Questions must be received by Thursday, 21 May 2026 to ensure they can be addressed at the Meeting. Similar questions may be grouped and answered together.

Voting Exclusion and Prohibition Statements

For the definitions of Key Management Personnel (KMP) and Closely Related Parties, please refer to the Glossary on page 21.

The Corporations Act restricts members of the KMP of the Company and their Closely Related Parties from voting in relation to remuneration related Resolutions (such as Resolution 1).

In addition, separate voting restrictions apply in respect of Resolutions 7 and 8 under the ASX Listing Rules.

What this means for Shareholders

If you intend to appoint a member of the KMP (other than the Chair of the Meeting) as your proxy, please ensure that you direct them how to vote on Resolution 1. If you do not do so, your proxy will not be able to vote on your behalf on Resolution 1.

If you intend to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy (and you are not a KMP or a Closely Related Party), you are encouraged to direct him how to vote by marking a box for Resolution 1 (for example if you wish to vote for, or against, or to abstain from voting). If you appoint the Chair as your proxy without directing him how to vote on a resolution where he is a related party, the Chair will not be able to vote on your behalf.

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote in favour of all Resolution 1 (where permissible).

However, the Company need not disregard a vote if:

If you appoint the person chairing the Meeting (Chair) and you are not a Restricted Voter, by submitting the Proxy Form you authorise the person chairing the Meeting to exercise the proxy even though is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a KMP, and you will be taken to have directed the Chair to vote in accordance with their stated intention to vote in favour of Resolution 1.

Chair's Intention

The Chair intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution.

Resolution 7 - ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Approval of Future Issue of Securities (Additional 10% Placement Capacity)

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to add an additional 10% capacity. An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation less than the amount prescribed by ASX (currently $300 million).

As of the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company has a market capitalisation of approximately $86.85M and therefore is an eligible entity. If at the time of the Meeting the Company is no longer an eligible entity this Resolution will be withdrawn.

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval.

If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue equity securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A

The following information is provided to Shareholder for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A.

Period for which the approval will be valid

An approval under this Listing Rule 7.1A commences on the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first to occur of the following:

(a) the date which is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained;
(b) the time and date of the entity's next annual general meeting; and
(c) the time and date on which Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

Minimum price at which the equity securities may be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A

Any equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be an existing quoted class of the Company's equity securities and issued for cash consideration.

The issue price per equity security must not be less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price of the equity securities in that class, calculated over 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

(a) the date on which the price at the equity securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the equity securities; and
(b) if the equity securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (a), the date on which the equity securities are issued.

Purposes for which the funds raised by an issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A may be used

Austral Gold Limited – Notice of Annual General Meeting


As noted above, any equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be issued for cash consideration. Accordingly, every issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 will have an accompanying proposed use of funds at the time of issue.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not formed an intention to offer any equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, if Shareholders approve this Resolution. However, if Shareholders approved this Resolution and the Company did raise funds from the issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, based on the Company's existing plans, the Company considers that the funds may be used for the following purposes:

(a) to further develop the Company's business;
(b) to be applied to the Company's working capital requirements;
(c) to acquire assets, in which circumstances the issue of the ordinary shares may be made in substitution for the Company making a cash payment for the assets; and
(d) to pay service providers or consultants of the Company.

Risk of economic and voting dilution to existing ordinary Securityholders

If this Resolution is approved, and the Company issues equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the existing Shareholders' economic and voting power in the Company will be diluted.

There is a risk that:

(a) the market price for the Company's equity securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under Listing Rule 7.1A; and
(b) the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount (as described above) to the market price for the Company's equity securities on the issue date;

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The table below shows the potential dilution of existing Securityholders on the basis of 3 different assumed issue prices and values for the variable "A" in the formula in rule 7.1A.2:

Variable “A” ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 Potential Dilution and Funds Raised

Notes:

(a) Based on the total number of fully paid ordinary Shares on issue as at 31 March 2026.
(b) Based on the closing price of the Company's Shares on ASX as at 31 March 2026.
(c) The table assumes that the Company issues the maximum number of ordinary Shares available to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.
(d) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of issues of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of this Explanatory Statement.

(e) The table shows the effect of an issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A only, not under the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1

Allocation policy for issues under Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company's allocation policy and the identity of the allottees of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A will depend on several factors, including:

(a) the Company's intentions in relation to the possible issue of equity securities (for cash consideration) during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period;

(b) the structure and timeframe of the capital raising opportunities available to the Company and any alternative methods for raising funds that are available to the Company (such as a pro rata offer or an offer under a share purchase plan);

(c) the potential effect on the control of the Company;

(d) the Company's financial position and the likely future capital requirements; and

(e) advice from the Company's corporate or financial advisors.

Based on the Company's historical cashflow reports and capital raising activities in the past 12 months, the Company considers that it may raise funds during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, although this cannot be guaranteed.

As of the date of this Notice, no specific intention to issue equity securities in relation to any parties, investors or existing Securityholders have been formed. In addition, no intentions have been formed in relation to the possible number of issues, or the time frame in which the issues could be made.

Subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the board of Directors reserve the right to determine at the time of any issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the allocation policy that the Company will adopt for that issue.

When and if the determination is made to proceed with an issue of equity securities during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, details regarding the allottees and purposes of issue will be disclosed pursuant to the Company's obligations under Listing Rules 3.10.3 and 7.1A.4.

Offers made under Listing Rule 7.1A may be made to parties (excluding any related parties) including professional and sophisticated investors, existing Shareholders of the Company, clients of Australian Financial Service Licence holders and/or their nominees, or any other person to whom the Company is able to make an offer of equity securities.

Issue or agreement to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A in the 12 months prior to the AGM

The Company previously obtained shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at the 2025 AGM and has issued the following equity securities in the 12 months preceding the AGM:

Resolution 8 - Ratification of Prior Issue of Securities

As announced by the Company on 17 February 2026, the Company issued 46,977,778 Ordinary Fully Paid Shares to Australian sophisticated and institutional investors under the Company's existing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

This Resolution proposes that Shareholders of the Company approve and ratify the prior issue and allotment of 46,977,778 Ordinary Fully Paid Shares issued to Australian sophisticated and institutional investors on 23 February 2026 (Issue Date).

All of the Ordinary Fully Paid Shares were issued by utilising the Company's existing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

At last year's AGM, the Company sought and obtained approval of its Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1A to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.

The issue of Shares did not fit within any of the exceptions (to Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A) and, as it has not been approved by the Company's Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the expanded 25% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company's capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the Issue Date (noting that the extra 10% under Listing Rule 7.1A will expire unless re-approved by the Company's Shareholders on an annual basis).

Austral Gold Limited – Notice of Annual General Meeting
Page 17 of 22


Listing Rule 7.4 allows the Shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the Company's capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

A note to Listing Rule 7.4 also provides that an issue made in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A can be approved subsequently under Listing Rule 7.4 and, if it is, the issue will then be excluded from variable "E" in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (which means that the Company's capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A is not reduced).

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issue under Listing Rule 7.1A. To this end, Resolution 8 seek Shareholder approval to subsequently approve the issue of Shares for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 8 is passed, the issue of Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 25% capacity to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1 (15%) and 7.1A (10%) without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the Issue Date.

If Resolution 8 is not passed, the issue of Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 25% capacity to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1 (15%) and 7.1A (10%) without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the Issue Date.

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5.

Requirement under 7.3.A.6 Detail
The names of the persons to whom the Company issued the securities or the basis on which those persons were determined The Placement Shares were issued to sophisticated and institutional investors (within the meaning of sections 708(8) and 708(11) of the Corporations Act) (Placement Participants) who were clients of Aitken Mount Capital Partners (Lead Broker). The Placement Participants were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Lead Broker seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company. In accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that no investor under the Placement was a related party, a member of the Company's Key Management Personnel, a substantial Shareholder or an adviser of the Company or an associate of any of those persons.
