EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

INTRODUCTION

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders of Diatreme Resources Limited (“ Company ”) in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held at 2.00 pm on Thursday 28 February 2019 to assist Shareholders to determine how to vote on the proposed Resolutions.

Shareholders should read this Explanatory Statement in full, as individual Sections may not give a comprehensive review of the proposal contemplated. This Explanatory Statement forms part of the accompanying Notice of Meeting and should be read with the Notice of Meeting.

Background in respect of Resolutions 1 to 6

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company’s shareholders ratify the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (provided that the previous issue of securities did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been issued with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolutions 1 to 6 ( Refresher Resolutions ) relate to the issue of different parcels of equity securities during 2018 and by approving all of those resolutions, Shareholders will refresh the Company’s 15% placement capacity. If Shareholders approve only some of the Refresher Resolutions, then only a portion of the Company’s 15% placement capacity will be refreshed.

The Company has worked with a number of brokers to identify the various placees the subject of the Resolutions. No one broker acted as lead manager.

YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS

This is your name and address as it appears on the Company’s share register. If this information is incorrect, please make the correction on the form. Shareholders sponsored by a broker should advise their broker of any changes. Please note: you cannot change ownership of your shares using this form.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

If you wish to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, mark the box in Step 1. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, please write the name of that individual or body corporate in Step 1. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.

DEFAULT TO CHAIRMAN OF THE MEETING

Any undirected proxies that default to the Chairman of the Meeting will be voted according to the instructions set out in this Proxy Form.

VOTES ON ITEMS OF BUSINESS – PROXY APPOINTMENT

You may direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.
