Our corporate governance statement[1] for the period above can be found at:[2]

These pages of our annual report: This URL on our https://www.berkeleyenergia.com/about-us/corporate-and-governance/ website:

The Corporate Governance Statement is accurate and up to date as at 30 June 2021 and has been approved by the board.

The annexure includes a key to where our corporate governance disclosures can be located.[3]

Date: 31 August 2021 Name of authorised officer Dylan Browne – Company Secretary authorising lodgement:

1 “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.

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 Listing Rule 4.10.3.

Under Listing Rule 4.7.3, an entity must also lodge with ASX a completed Appendix 4G at the same time as it lodges its annual report with ASX. The Appendix 4G serves a dual purpose. It acts as a key designed to assist readers to locate the governance disclosures made by a listed entity under Listing Rule 4.10.3 and under the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s recommendations. It also acts as a verification tool for listed entities to confirm that they have met the disclosure requirements of Listing Rule 4.10.3.

The Appendix 4G is not a substitute for, and is not to be confused with, the entity's corporate governance statement. They serve different purposes and an entity must produce each of them separately.

2 Tick whichever option is correct and then complete the page number(s) of the annual report, or the URL of the web page, where your corporate governance statement can be found. You can, if you wish, delete the option which is not applicable.

3 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. See notes 4 and 5 below for further instructions on how to complete this form.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 2021

Berkeley Energia Limited ( Berkeley or Company ) and the entities it controls believe corporate governance is important for the Company in conducting its business activities.

The Board has adopted a suite of charters and key corporate governance documents which articulate the policies and procedures followed by Berkeley.

These documents are available in the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s website, https://www.berkeleyenergia.com/about-us/corporate-and-governance/ . These documents are reviewed at least annually to address any changes in governance practices and the law.

This Corporate Governance Statement ( Statement ), which is current as at 30 June 2021 and has been approved by the Company’s Board, explains how Berkeley complies with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s ‘ Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations – 4th Edition ’ ( ASX Principles or Recommendations ), which were published on in February 2019 in relation to the year ended 30 June 2021.

In addition to the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s ‘ Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations – 3rd Edition’ the Board has taken into account a number of important factors in determining its corporate governance policies and procedures, including the following:

  • relatively simple operations of the Company, which is focused on developing a single uranium property;

  • cost verses benefit of additional corporate governance requirements or processes;

  • size of the Board;

  • Board’s experience in the resources sector;

  • organisational reporting structure and number of reporting functions, operational divisions and employees;

  • relatively simple financial affairs with limited complexity and quantum;

  • relatively moderate market capitalisation and economic value of the entity; and

  • direct shareholder feedback.

Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight

RECOMMENDATION BERKELEY’S COMPLIANCE WITH RECOMMENDATIONS RECOMMENDATION
FOLLOWED IN
FULL FOR WHOLE
OF 2021 YEAR?
1.1 Role of Board and
management
The Board has established a clear distinction between the functions
and responsibilities reserved for the Board and those delegated to
management, which are set out in the Company’s Board Charter.
A copy of the Board Charter is available in the Corporate Governance
section of the Company’s website, www.berkeleyenergia.com/about-
us/corporate-and-governance/.
Yes
1.2 Information
regarding election
and re-election of
director candidates
Berkeley carefully considers the character, experience, education and
skillset of potential candidates for appointment to the Board and
conducts appropriate background checks to verify the sustainability of
the candidate, prior to their election.
Based on the Company’s level of knowledge of the potential
candidate, these may include checks as to the person’s character,
experience, education, criminal record, and bankruptcy history.
However, the Company did not comply with this recommendation
during the 2021 year to the extent that it did not conduct criminal
record checks for those Directors appointed during the year as the
candidates were already well known to the Board.
The Company has appropriate procedures in place to ensure that
material information relevant to a decision to elect or re-elect a
director, is disclosed in the relevant notice of meeting provided to
shareholders. Director profiles are also included in the Director’s
Report of the Company’s Annual Report.
No
1.3 Written contracts of
appointment
In addition to being set out in the Board Charter, the roles and
responsibilities of Directors are also formalised in the letter of
appointment which each Director receives and commits to on their
appointment.
The letters of appointment specify the term of appointment, time
commitment envisages, expectations in relations to committee work
or any other special duties attaching to the position, reporting lines,
remuneration arrangements, disclosure obligations in relation to
personal interests, confidentiality obligations, insurance and indemnity
entitlements and details of the Company’s key governance policies.
Each Key Management Personnel (“KMP”) enters into a service
contract which sets out the material terms of employment or
consultancy, including a description of position and duties, reporting
lines, remuneration arrangement and termination rights and
entitlements. Contract details of KMP are summarised in the
Remuneration Report of the Company’s Annual Report.
Yes
1.4 Company Secretary The Company Secretary reports directly to the Board through the
Chairman on Board matters and all Directors have access to the
Company Secretary.
In accordance with the Company’s Constitution, the appointment or
removal of the Company Secretary is a matter for the Board as a
whole. Details of the Company Secretary’s experience and
qualifications are set out in the Directors’ Report of the Company’s
Annual Report.
Yes
1.5 Diversity The Company has not adopted a Diversity Policy, nor has it
established measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity for
the 2021 year.
The Company remains committed to diversity and inclusion
throughout all levels of the business. The Company recognizes that
an inclusive and diverse workforce leads to increased productivity and
better relationships with the communities in which we operate. The
Companyhas beenchampioning genderdiversity overthe past

decade, as evidenced by the high number of women employed
throughout the various levels of the Company.
The Company recognises that a diverse and talented workforce is a
competitive advantage and encourages a culture that embraces
diversity. However, the Board considers that the Company is not
currently of a size to warrant the time and cost of adopting a Diversity
Policy and setting measurable objectives for achieving gender
diversity. The Board will review its position and may adopt a Diversity
Policy and develop measurable objectives when the Company’s
operations increase substantially.
At the date of this Statement, the Company has no female directors,
and 6 female employees (including full-time equivalent employees).
1.6 Board reviews The Board has not conducted a formal performance evaluation. The
size of the Board is relatively small and the Board believes that a
formal performance evaluation is not required at this point in time and
that that no efficiencies or other benefits would be gained from a
formal performance evaluation.
The Chairman is responsible for evaluating the Board and informal
discussions are undertaken during the course of the year. As the
Company grows and develops, it will continue to consider the
efficiencies and merits of a more formal performance evaluation of the
Board, its committees and individual Directors.
No
1.7 Management
reviews
Each year the Board evaluates the performance of its KMP against
Key Performance Indicators (“KPI’s”) as set by the Board.
Details of the process followed are set out in the Remuneration Report
of the Company’s Annual Report. For the 2021 year, the Board
undertook a performance evaluation of its KMP in accordance with
that process.

Committee.

Charter, so that the Remuneration and Nomination Committee can
function appropriately. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee
Charter sets out the processes the Remuneration and Nomination
Committee employs to address board succession issues and to ensure
that the board has the appropriate balance of skills, knowledge,
experience, independence and diversity to enable it to discharge its
duties and responsibilities effectively.
The Board and Remuneration and Nomination Committee regularly
reviews whether it has the appropriate balance of skills, knowledge, and
experience suitable for a Company in the junior resources sector.
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee Charter is reviewed
annually and is available in the Corporate Governance section of the

2.6 Induction and
professional
development
The Board does not have a formal program for inducting new Directors
and providing appropriate professional development opportunities.
The Board has been structured such that its composition and size will
enable it to effectively discharge its responsibilities and duties. Each
Director has been appointed because they already possess the relevant
industry experience and specific expertise relevant to the Company’s
business and level of operations and given the activities of the Company
and their own experience do not require the Company, given its size, to
provide professional development opportunities.
However, each new Director receives and commits to a letter of
appointment which includes details of the Company’s key policies and
processes and continuing professional development is expected of all
Directors.
Directors are also entitled to seek independent professional advice at the
expense of the Company (subject to approval) as may be reasonably
required to assist them to carry out your duties as a Director.

4.1 Audit committee The Board has decided not to form a separate Audit Committee. The
Board believes that no efficiencies or other benefits would be gained by
establishing a separate Audit Committee. The Board has adopted an
Audit Committee Charter, however the Board as a whole performs the
function of the Audit Committee.
The Company: (a) currently only has 4 Directors of which 3 are non-
executive Directors; (b) has relatively simple operations and currently
only undertakes mineral exploration and development activities; (c) has
relatively simple financial affairs with limited complexity and quantum;
and (d) has a relatively moderate market capitalisation and economic
value. As a result, the Board as a whole considers that it is more efficient
and effective for the corporate reporting process to not have an Audit
Committee at this stage. The Board monitors this position as the
Company’s circumstances change.

risks.
However, the Board does not receive declarations from the CEO (or
equivalent) and CFO (or equivalent) in respect to the quarterly cash flow
