2.2 A listed entity should have and disclose a
board skills matrix setting out the mix of skills
that the board currently has or is looking to
achieve in its membership.
Compliant The Board regularly evaluates the mix of skills, experience, and diversity of its members to ensure that the Board
operates effectively and efficiently. The Board believes that a highly credentialed Board, with a diversity of
background, skills, and perspectives, will be effective in supporting and enabling delivery of good governance for
the Company and value for shareholders.
A profile of each Director, setting out their skills, experience and period of office is set out in the 2023 Annual
Report.
During the period, the Nomination & Governance Committee reviewed and updated Deterra’s Board Skills Matrix.
A summary of the revised Board Skills Matrix is provided at Appendix A of this Corporate Governance Statement.
2.3 A listed entity should disclose:
(a) the names of the directors considered by
the board to be independent directors;

does not compromise the independence of
the director, the nature of the interest,
position or relationship in question and an
explanation of why the board is of that
opinion; and

Compliant Independent Directors of the Board are:

Ms Jennifer Seabrook (appointed June 2020);

The Deterra Board recognises that Ms Jennifer Seabrook has historically been an officer of Iluka Resources
Limited, which is a substantial shareholder of Deterra. The Deterra Board considers Ms Seabrook to be
independent notwithstanding that historical relationship, on the basis that she retired from her position as an
independent non-executive director of Iluka on 9 April 2020 (after 12 years on the Iluka Board) to become Chair
of the Deterra Board and has no ongoing connection with Iluka.
Ms Seabrook was also a senior adviser at Gresham until September 2020. Gresham has provided services to
Iluka and to Deterra from time to time, including services to Iluka in respect of the demerger of the Deterra
business. Ms Seabrook was not involved in the provision of advice to Iluka in relation to its interest in Deterra,
and has not been involved in the provision of advice by Gresham to Deterra. For this reason, the Deterra Board
considers Ms Seabrook to be independent notwithstanding her historical relationship with Gresham.
Ms Adele Stratton is not considered by the Board to be an independent director as she is a nominee of Iluka,
which is a substantial shareholder of Deterra. The Board believes that Ms Stratton continues to make a valuable
contribution to Deterra through her deep understanding of the Deterra business, the industries in which it
operates and her executive experience at Iluka and Rio Tinto Iron Ore.
Mr Julian Andrews is not considered to be independent on the basis that he is employed by Deterra as Managing
Director and Chief Executive Officer.

directors; and
(ii) is chaired by an independent director
and disclose:
(iii) the charter of the committee;

risk appetite set by the board; and
(b) disclose, in relation to each reporting
period, whether such a review has taken
place.

Compliant
The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for the review of Deterra’s risk management framework.
During the period, the Committee reviewed and requested updates to Deterra’s Risk Management Framework

Framework with the assistance of its external auditor.

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

These pages of our annual report: This URL on our www.deterraroyalties.com/sustainability/corporate-governance website:

The Corporate Governance Statement is accurate and up to date as at 14 August 2023 and has been approved by the board.

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

Date: 14 August 2023

Name of authorised officer Bronwyn Kerr, 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.
