Yes Eagle Mountain ensures that all resolutions
considered for approval at a meeting of security

The poll is conducted by the Company Secretary and
where considered appropriate Eagle Mountain will

Mountain electronically and Eagle Mountain
encourages them to do so. Existing shareholders are

As Eagle Mountain’s operations grow and evolve, the Board will reconsider the appropriateness of forming a separate risk management committee.

However, Eagle Mountain has adopted a Risk Management Policy for Eagle Mountain which is available for review on the Company’s website. The purpose of the policy is to:

  • provide a framework for identifying, assessing, monitoring and managing risk;

  • communicate the roles and accountabilities of participants in the risk management system; and

  • highlight the status of risks to which Eagle Mountain is exposed, including any material changes to Eagle Mountain’s risk profile.

Further, the Board is responsible for the following under the policy:

The Board considers that an internal audit function
is not currently necessary given the current size and
scope of Eagle Mountain’s operations.
As Eagle Mountain’s operations grow and evolve,
the Board will reconsider the appropriateness of
adopting an internal audit function.
Recommendation 7.4
A listed entity should disclose whether
it has any material exposure to
environmental and social risks and, if it
does, how it manages or intends to
manage those risks.
Yes Eagle Mountain’s primary activity is mineral
exploration. These activities do not expose Eagle
Mountain to any particular environmental or social
risks not faced by all other participants in the
mineral exploration industry in the United States.
Principal 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly
Recommendation 8.1
The board of a listed entity should:
(a) have a remuneration committee
which:
(1) has at least three members, a
majority
of
whom
are
independent directors; and
(2) is chaired by an independent
director,
and disclose:
(3) the charter of the committee;
(4) the
members
of
the
committee; and
(5) as at the end of each
reporting period, the number
of times the committee met
throughout the period and
the individual attendances of
the
members

those
meetings; or
(b) if it does not have a remuneration
committee, disclose that fact and
the processes it employs for
setting the level and composition
of remuneration for directors and
senior executives and ensuring
that
such
remuneration
is
appropriate and not excessive.
No Eagle Mountain has not established a separate
remuneration committee.
The role of the remuneration committee is
undertaken by the full Board. The Board considers
that, given its current size and that only one
Director holds an executive position in Eagle
Mountain, efficiencies or other benefits would not
be gained by establishing a separate remuneration
committee.
Eagle Mountain will set out the remuneration paid
or provided to Directors and senior executives
annually in the contained within Eagle Mountain’s
annual report to shareholders. The full Board
determines all compensation arrangements for
Directors. It is also responsible for setting
performance criteria, performance monitors, share
option schemes, incentive performance schemes,
superannuation entitlements, retirement and
termination
entitlements
and
professional
indemnity and liability insurance cover.
As Eagle Mountain’s operations grow and evolve,
the Board will reconsider the appropriateness of
forming a separate remuneration committee.
Recommendation 8.2
A listed entity should separately
disclose its policies and practices
regarding the remuneration of non-
executive
directors
and
the
remuneration of executive directors
and other senior executives.
Yes Eagle Mountain’s policies and practices regarding
the remuneration of Executive and Non-Executive
Directors and other senior executives will be set out
in the remuneration report contained in Eagle
Mountain’s annual report for each financial year.

Recommendation 8.3
A listed entity which has an equity-
based remuneration scheme should:
(a) have
a
policy
on
whether
participants are permitted to
enter into transactions (whether
through the use of derivatives or
otherwise)
which
limit
the
economic risk of participating in
the scheme; and
(b) disclose that policy or a summary
of it.
Yes Eagle Mountain’s Securities Trading Policy sets out
the circumstances in which Eagle Mountain’s
Directors, executives, employees, contractors,
consultants and advisors (“Designated Persons)
are prohibited from dealing in Eagle Mountain’s
securities.
The policy provides that where a Designated Person
is
entitled
to
equity-based
remuneration
arrangements, that Designated Person must not at
any time enter into a transaction (e.g. writing a call
option) that operates or is intended to operate to
limit the economic risk of holdings of unvested
Eagle Mountain securities or vested Eagle Mountain
securities which are subject to a holding lock.
The Directors note that there is no market for
exchange-traded options in respect of Eagle
Mountain’s securities and, for all practical purposes,
there is no capacity for scheme participants to
directly limit the economic risk associated with their
holdings of Eagle Mountain securities pursuant to
Eagle

remuneration
scheme.

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://eaglemountain.com.au/about/#corporate ☒ 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: 18 October 2021 Name of authorised officer Mark Pitts 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.
