EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.desertmetals.com.au .

1. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

1.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

1.2 Voting consequences

A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

/1464_7

1.3 Previous voting results

As this is the Company’s first annual general meeting since being admitted on the ASX official list, the remuneration report of the Company has not been considered before. Accordingly, a Spill Resolution will not be relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

2. RESOLUTION 2 – ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – KEITH MURRAY

2.1 General

The Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.

Pursuant to the Constitution and Listing Rule 14.4, any Director so appointed holds office only until the next annual general meeting and is then eligible for election by Shareholders but shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation (if any) at that meeting.

Mr Keith Murray, having been appointed by other Directors on 7 July 2021 in accordance with the Constitution, will retire in accordance with the Constitution and Listing Rule 14.4 and being eligible, seeks election from Shareholders.

2.2 Qualifications and other material directorships

Mr Murray is a Chartered Accountant with extensive knowledge and experience built up over 40 years at General Manager level in audit, accounting, tax, finance, treasury and corporate governance. Mr Murray’s experience in mining extends to the 1990’s during which time he was Group Accounting Manager Corporate and Taxation and joint Company Secretary for Eltin Limited, a leading Australian based international mining services company. Mr Murray is currently General Manager Corporate and Company Secretary for Heytesbury, the privately owned Holmes à Court family company group in Western Australia.

2.3

Independence

Mr Murray has no interests, position or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, in a material respect his capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interest of the Company as a whole rather than in the interests of an individual security holder or other party.

If elected the Board considers Mr Murray will be an independent Director.

2.4 Other material information

The Company conducts appropriate checks on the background and experience of candidates before their appointment to the Board. The Company undertook such checks prior to the appointment of Mr Murray.

Mr Murray has confirmed that he considers he will have sufficient time to fulfil his responsibilities as a Non-Executive Director of the Company and does not consider that any other commitment will interfere with his availability to perform his duties as a Non-Executive Director of the Company.

Desert Metals - NOM AGM - 2021 (FINAL) (21 10 21)(2794327.3).docx

2.5 Board recommendation

The Board has reviewed Mr Murray’s performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that Mr Murray’s skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role. Accordingly, the Board supports the election of Mr Murray and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

3. RESOLUTION 3 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – ANTONY WORTH

3.1 General

The Constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.

Mr Antony (Tony) Worth, who has served as a Director since 29 March 2017 and was last re-elected on 20 October 2020, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

3.2 Qualifications and other material directorships

Mr Worth is a geologist and business development consultant with 25 years’ experience. He has worked in Australia, Africa, North America and South America on a wide range of commodities and deposit styles. Mr Worth has a broad range of experience across all aspects of the minerals exploration industry, from target generation, exploration management and field programs implementation, through to commodity market analysis, joint venture negotiations and project acquisitions.

3.3 Independence

If re-elected the Board does not consider Mr Worth will be an independent Director.

3.4 Board recommendation

The Board has reviewed Mr Worth’s performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that Mr Worth’s skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role. Accordingly, the Board supports the re-election of Mr Worth and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

4. RESOLUTION 4 – ISSUE OF INCENTIVE OPTIONS TO DIRECTOR – KEITH MURRAY

4.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue 800,000 Options to Mr Keith Murray (or their nominee) pursuant to the Company’s Employee Securities Incentive Plan ( Incentive Plan ) and on the terms and conditions set out below ( Incentive Options ).

4.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

5

Desert Metals - NOM AGM - 2021 (FINAL) (21 10 21)(2794327.3).docx

• (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

• (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The issue of the Incentive Options to Keith Murray (or their nominee) constitutes giving a financial benefit and Keith Murray is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors (other than Keith Murray) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of Incentive Options, because the agreement to issue the Incentive Options, reached as part of the remuneration package for Keith Murray, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.

4.3 Listing Rule 10.14

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities:

• 10.14.1 a director of the entity;

• 10.14.2 an associate of a director of the entity; or

• 10.14.3 a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.14.1 to 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by security holders.

The issue of Incentive Options to Keith Murray falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

Resolution 4 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Incentive Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.

4.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Options to Keith Murray under the Incentive Plan within three years after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Incentive Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14), the issue of the Incentive Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Options to Keith Murray under the Incentive Plan.

4.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 10.15

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

6

Desert Metals - NOM AGM - 2021 (FINAL) (21 10 21)(2794327.3).docx

• (a) the Incentive Options will be issued to Keith Murray (or their nominee), who falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.14.1 by virtue of Keith Murray being a Director;

• (b) the maximum number of Incentive Options to be issued is 800,000;

• (c) the current total remuneration package for Keith Murray is $44,000, comprising of directors’ fees/salary of $40,000], a superannuation payment of $4,000. If the Incentive Options are issued, the total remuneration package of Keith Murray will increase by $104,000 to $148,000, being the value of the Incentive Options (based on the Black Scholes methodology, using the following inputs – Current price: $0.28, Exercise Price: $0.60, Time to maturity: 3 years, Risk free rate: 0.5% and Annual volatility: 100%);

• (a) no securities have been previously issued under the Incentive Plan;

• (d) a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Incentive Options is set out in Schedule 1;

• (e) the Incentive Options are unquoted Options. The Company has chosen to issue Incentive Options to Keith Murray for the following reasons:

• (i) the Incentive Options are unquoted, therefore, the issue of the Incentive Options has no immediate dilutionary impact on Shareholders;

• (ii) the issue of Incentive Options to Keith Murray will align the interests of Keith Murray with those of Shareholders;

• (iii) the issue of the Incentive Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to Keith Murray;

• (iv) because of the deferred taxation benefit which is available to Keith Murray in respect of an issue of Options. This is also beneficial to the Company as it means Keith Murray is not required to immediately sell the Incentive Options to fund a tax liability (as would be the case in an issue of Shares where the tax liability arises upon issue of the Shares) and will instead, continue to hold an interest in the Company; and

• (v) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Incentive Options on the terms proposed;

(f) the Company values the Incentive Options at $104,000 (being $0.13 per Incentive Option) based on the Black-Scholes methodology, using the following inputs – Current price: $0.28,

7

Desert Metals - NOM AGM - 2021 (FINAL) (21 10 21)(2794327.3).docx

Exercise Price: $0.60, Time to maturity: 3 years, Risk free rate: 0.5% and Annual volatility: 100%;

• (g) the Incentive Options will be issued to Keith Murray (or their nominee) no later than 3 years after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Incentive Options will be issued on one date;

• (h) the issue price of the Incentive Options will be nil, as such no funds will be raised from the issue of the Incentive Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Incentive Options);

• (i) a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Incentive Plan is set out in Schedule 2;

• (j) no loan is being made to Keith Murray in connection with the acquisition of the Incentive Options;

• (k) details of any Options issued under the Incentive Plan will be published in the annual report of the Company relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14; and

• (l) any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of Options under the Incentive Plan after Resolution 4 is approved and who were not named in this Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.

5. RESOLUTION 5 – APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR – HALL CHADWICK

Section 327B(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a public company must appoint an auditor at its first annual general meeting and at any subsequent annual general meeting thereafter where there is a vacancy.

The Directors appointed Hall Chadwick WA Audit Pty Ltd (ACN 163 529 682) ( Hall Chadwick ) as the Company’s auditor following registration of the Company.

In accordance with section 328B(1) of the Corporations Act, the Company has sought and obtained a nomination from a Shareholder for Hall Chadwick to be appointed as the Company’s auditor. A copy of this nomination is attached to this Notice as Annexure A.

Hall Chadwick has given its written consent to act as the Company’s auditor in accordance with section 328A(1) of the Corporations Act subject to Shareholder approval of this Resolution.

If this Resolution is passed, the appointment of Hall Chadwick as the Company’s auditor will take effect at the close of this Meeting.

8

Desert Metals - NOM AGM - 2021 (FINAL) (21 10 21)(2794327.3).docx

6. RESOLUTION 6 – APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE

6.1 General

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.

However, under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 7.1A Mandate ).

An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an eligible entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $16,500,000 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 20 October 2021).

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 6 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 Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under 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.

6.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to Resolution 6:

• (a) Period for which the 7.1A Mandate is valid

The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:

(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;

(ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and

(iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).

(b) Minimum price

9

Desert Metals - NOM AGM - 2021 (FINAL) (21 10 21)(2794327.3).docx

Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

• (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or

• (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in Section 6.2(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(c) Use of funds raised under the 7.1A Mandate

The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate for exploration activities at its highly prospective Narryer Project located on the Northwest margin of the Yilgarn Craton in Western Australia.

(d) Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 6 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A Mandate, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue or proposed to be issued as at 20 October 2021.

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 7.1A Mandate.

			Dilution	Dilution
Number of Shares on Issue (Variable A in Listing Rule 7.1A.2)		Shares issued – 10% voting dilution		Issue Price
			$0.150	$0.300	$0.45
			50% decrease	Issue Price	50% increase
				Funds Raised
Current	55,000,000 Shares	5,500,000 Shares	$825,000	$1,650,000	$2,475,000
50% increase	82,500,000 Shares	8,250,000 Shares	$1,237,500	$2,475,000	$3,712,500
100% increase	110,000,000 Shares	11,000,000 Shares	$1,650,000	$3,300,000	$4,950,000

10

Desert Metals - NOM AGM - 2021 (FINAL) (21 10 21)(2794327.3).docx

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a prorata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

1. There are currently 55,000,000 Shares on issue at the date of this Notice of Meeting.

2. The issue price set out above is the closing market price of the Shares on the ASX on 20 October 2021 (being $0.3000).

3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.

4. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

5. The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

6. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

7. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.

8. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

9. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A Mandate, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

• (i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

• (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

(e) Allocation policy under the 7.1A Mandate

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A Mandate have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 7.1A Mandate, having regard to the following factors:

• (i) the purpose of the issue;

• (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue, share purchase plan, placement or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

11

Desert Metals - NOM AGM - 2021 (FINAL) (21 10 21)(2794327.3).docx

• (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

• (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

• (v) prevailing market conditions; and

• (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

(f) Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company has not previously obtained approval under Listing Rule 7.1A. Accordingly, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the twelve months preceding the date of the Meeting.

6.3 Voting Exclusion Statement

(g) Timing of issue of Shares on exercise

• (ii) if required, give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, or, if the Company is unable to issue such a notice, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors; and

• (iii) if admitted to the official list of ASX at the time, apply for official quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options.

15

If a notice delivered under (g)(ii) for any reason is not effective to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors, the Company must, no later than 20 Business Days after becoming aware of such notice being ineffective, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors.

SCHEDULE 2 – TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF INCENTIVE PLAN

(a) Eligible Participant

Eligible Participant means a person that:

• (i) is an 'eligible participant' (as that term is defined in ASIC Class Order 14/1000) in relation to the Company or an Associated Body Corporate (as that term is defined in ASIC Class Order 14/1000); and

• (ii) has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time.

(b) Maximum allocation

The Company must not make an offer of Securities under the Plan where the total number of Shares issued under the Plan ( Plan Shares ) that may be issued, or acquired upon exercise of securities convertible into Shares issued under the Plan ( Convertible Securities ) offered, when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of offers made under the Plan at any time during the previous 3 year period would exceed 5% of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the offer.

The maximum number of equity securities proposed to be issued under the Plan for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules is 5,500,000 Shares (representing 10% of the issued Shares on completion of the Offer) ( ASX Limit ), meaning that the Company may issue up to the ASX Limit under the Plan, without seeking Shareholder approval and without reducing its placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The ASX Limit is not intended to be a prediction of the actual number of securities to be issued under the Plan, simply a ceiling for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)).

(c) Purpose

The purpose of the Plan is to:

• (i) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;

• (ii) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and

• (iii) align the interests of Eligible Participants with Shareholders by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Securities.

(d) Plan administration

The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion. The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.

(e) Eligibility, invitation and application

17

The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for Securities on such terms and conditions as the Board decides.

On receipt of an Invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part.

If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation.

(f)

Grant of Securities

The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the Eligible Participant that has participated ( Participant ) the relevant number of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.

(g) Terms of Convertible Securities

Each Convertible Security represents a right to acquire one or more Shares, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised, a Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security by virtue of holding the Convertible Security. A Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over, collateralise a margin loan against, utilise for the purposes of short selling, enter into a derivative with reference to, or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted to them. A Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them. For the avoidance of doubt, a Participant includes any contractor or consultant to the Company.

(h)

Vesting

Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of Convertible Securities will be described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Plant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.

(i) Exercise of Options and cashless exercise

To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Convertible Securities (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time prior to the earlier of any date specified in the vesting notice and the expiry date as set out in the invitation.

An invitation may specify that at the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of

18

Desert Metals - NOM AGM - 2021 (FINAL) (21 10 21)(2794327.3).docx

the Convertible Security exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.

Market Value means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.

A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.

(j) Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities

As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.

• (k) Forfeiture of Convertible Securities

Where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest.

Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, acted negligently, acted in contravention of a Company policy or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Company(including but not limited to breaching a material term of an employment, executive services or consultancy agreement), the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.

Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the Plan rules:

• (i) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Board determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that any applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date; and

• (ii) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation.

A Participant may by written notice to the Company voluntarily forfeit their Convertible Securities for no consideration.

(l) Change in control

If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant's Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows

19

Desert Metals - NOM AGM - 2021 (FINAL) (21 10 21)(2794327.3).docx

the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event.

(m) Rights attaching to Plan Shares

All Plan Shares issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.

(n) Disposal restrictions on Plan Shares

If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction.

For so long as a Plan Share is subject to any disposal restrictions under the Plan, the Participant will not:

• (i) transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a security interest granted over that Plan Share; or

• (ii) take any action or permit another person to take any action to remove or circumvent the disposal restrictions without the express written consent of the Company.

(o)

Adjustment of Convertible Securities

If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.

If Shares are issued by the Company pro rata to Shareholders generally by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an allotment of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.

(p)

Participation in new issues

There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Convertible Securities and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company during the currency of the Convertible Securities without exercising the Convertible Securities.

(q) Amendment of Plan

20

Desert Metals - NOM AGM - 2021 (FINAL) (21 10 21)(2794327.3).docx

Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.

No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants.

(r) Plan duration

The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely, and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.

If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant.
