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.

1.2 Director appointment and election

DART MINING NL

Corporate Governance Statement (continued)

1.3 Written Agreements with Directors and Senior Executives

New directors receive a letter of appointment which outlines the key terms and conditions of their appointment. Senior executives and all employees are required to sign employment agreements, which set out the key terms of their employment.

1.4 Responsibilities of the Company Secretary

The Company Secretary is responsible for providing administrative support to the Board and its Committees. The Company Secretary is accountable directly to the Board, through the Chair, on all matters relating to proper functioning of the Board.

1.5 Diversity Policy

The Company recognises the value contributed to the organisation by employing people with varying skills, cultural backgrounds, ethnicity and experience. The Company believes its diverse workforce is the key to continued growth and improved productivity and performance. The Company actively values and embraces diversity of its employees and is committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone is treated equally and fairly, and where discrimination, harassment and inequality are not tolerated. While the Company is committed to fostering diversity at all levels, gender diversity continues to be a priority for the Group.

Accordingly, the Board has developed the following objectives regarding gender diversity and aims to achieve these objectives as Director and senior executive positions become vacant and appropriately qualified candidates become available:

• achieve a diverse and skilled workforce, leading to continuous improvement in the achievement of its corporate goals;

• the development of clear criteria on behavioural expectations in relation to promoting diversity;

• create a work environment that values and utilises the contributions of employees with diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives;

• ensure that personnel responsible for recruitment take into account diversity issues when considering vacancies; and

• create awareness in all employees of their rights and responsibilities with regards to fairness, equity and respect for all aspects of diversity.

It is noted that the Company continues to work towards gender diversity, due to the low overall number of staff, a change of a few employees can have significant impact on the Company’s performance in respect of its measurable diversity objectives both positively and negatively.

The table below outlines gender diversity within Dart Mining for 2023 and 2024:

	Whole organisation		Senior Executive			Board
	2024	2023	2024	2023	2024		2023

2.3 Board members

Details of the members of the Board, their experience, qualifications, term of office and independence status are set out in the Directors’ Report under the section titled “Information on Directors” of the Annual Financial Report.

2.4 Directors’ independence

An independent director must be independent of management, be free of any business or other relationship and otherwise meet the criteria for independence set out in the ASX Principles.

During the prior reporting period, the Group complied with ASX Principle 2.4 which requires that a majority of the Board should be Independent.

The Board assesses the independence of directors as and when required.

2.5 Independent Chair

The current Chair, Mr Chirnside, is an executive director. Mr Chirnside was appointed 18 June 2015.

In accordance with current practice, the Board Charter requires the role of Chair and CEO to be separate.

Due to the limited resources available within the company, the company has been unable to meet with these principles, it is the board’s intention to address these issues as the resources become available.

2.6 Director induction and professional development

The Nomination Committee oversees, reviews and makes recommendations to the Board in relation to induction and development of non-executive directors, to ensure they develop and maintain the skills and knowledge needed to perform their roles as directors effectively.
