ENTITLEMENT TO VOTE

Snapshot date

It has been determined that under regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations, for the purposes of the Annual General Meeting, shares in the Company will be taken to be held by the persons who are the registered holders at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on Tuesday 20 November 2018. Accordingly, share transfers registered after that time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting.

VOTING EXCLUSION STATEMENTS

Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

A vote on Resolution 1 must not be cast (in any capacity) by, or on behalf of, the following persons:

• a. A member of the Key Management Personnel (KMP) whose remuneration details are included in the 2018 Remuneration Report; or

• b. A closely related party of such a KMP (including close family members and companies the KMP controls).

page 2

However, a person described above may cast a vote on Resolution 1 as a proxy if the vote is not cast on behalf of a person described above and either:

• a. The proxy appointment is in writing that specifies the way the proxy is to vote (e.g. for, against, abstain) on the resolution; or

• b. The vote is cast by the Chairman of the Meeting and the appointment of the Chairman as proxy: i. Does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution; and

• ii. Expressly authorises the Chairman to exercise the proxy even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP.

“Key management personnel” and “closely related party” have the same meaning as set out in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

Resolutions 4 and 5 – Issue of Performance Rights to Mr Jacob (Jake) Klein, Mr Lawrence (Lawrie) Conway

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 14.11, the Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of Resolutions 4 and 5 by any Director of the Company who is eligible to participate in the Evolution Mining Limited Employee Share Option and Performance Rights Plan (Plan) and their associates. Only Executive Directors are eligible to participate in the Plan so therefore Mr Klein and Mr Conway and their associates will be excluded from voting on Resolutions 4 and 5.

However, the Company need not disregard a vote if:

• a. It is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or

• b. It is cast by the person Chairing the Meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.

In addition, a vote must not be cast on Resolutions 4 and 5 as a proxy by a member of the KMP at the date of the AGM, or a closely related party of those persons, unless it is cast as proxy for a person entitled to vote in accordance with their directions. This restriction on voting undirected proxies does not apply to the Chairman of the Meeting because the proxy appointment expressly authorises the Chairman of the Meeting to exercise undirected proxies even if the resolution is connected, directly or indirectly, with the remuneration of the KMP.

PROXIES

A shareholder of the Company (Member) entitled to attend and to vote at the Annual General Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and to vote instead of the Member. The proxy need not be a Member and can be an individual or a body corporate.

If a Member appoints a body corporate as a proxy, that body corporate will need to ensure that it:

• Appoints an individual as its corporate representative to exercise its powers at the Annual General Meeting, in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act); and

• Provides satisfactory evidence of the appointment of its corporate representative prior to commencement of the Annual General Meeting.

If such evidence is not received before the Annual General Meeting, then the body corporate (through its representative) will not be permitted to act as a proxy.

Members are entitled to appoint up to two individuals to act as proxies to attend and vote on their behalf. Where more than one proxy is appointed, each proxy may be appointed to represent a specified proportion of the Member’s voting rights. If the Member appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Member’s votes each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half of the votes. On a show of hands, neither proxy may vote if more than one proxy attends.

Any directed proxies that are not voted on any poll at the Annual General Meeting by a Member’s appointed proxy will automatically default to the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting, who is required to vote proxies as directed on a poll.

The Corporations Act prohibits members of the KMP of the Company (which includes each of the Directors of the Company) from voting on the Remuneration Report (Resolution 1) and remuneration related resolutions (Resolutions 4 and 5) in certain circumstances. Where the KMP is appointed as a proxy, the KMP must be directed as proxy how to vote on Resolutions 1, 4 and 5 (inclusive) (i.e. directed to vote ‘for’, ‘against’ or ‘abstain’). Undirected proxy votes on Resolutions 1, 4 and 5 (inclusive) cannot be voted by a KMP and will be treated as invalid by the Company. If you intend to appoint a member of the KMP your proxy, please ensure that you direct them how to vote on Resolutions 1, 4 and 5 (inclusive) by marking either the ‘for’, ‘against’ or to ‘abstain’ box for each of Resolutions 1, 4 and 5 (inclusive).

The exception to the above prohibition is in the instance of the Chairman of the Meeting who, under the Corporations Act, can vote undirected proxies where the proxy appointment expressly authorises the Chairman of the Meeting to exercise undirected proxies even if the resolution is connected, directly or indirectly, with the remuneration of the KMP. The Proxy Form accompanying this Notice of Meeting provides this express authorisation.

page 3

Mr Klein will not chair the meeting for the consideration of Resolution 4. For the duration of this Resolution, the meeting will be chaired by a Non-Executive Director nominated by Mr Klein, pursuant to clause 7.5(d) of the Constitution. As Chairman of the Meeting during Resolution 4, this Non-Executive Director will also be entitled to exercise any undirected proxies in respect of these Resolutions as the express authorisation on the Proxy Form to exercise the proxy even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP is given to the Chairman of the Meeting (and not any one individual).

A proxy must be signed by the Member or his/her attorney duly authorised in writing or, if the Member is a corporation, in accordance with the Corporations Act. The Proxy Form and the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which the Proxy Form is signed, or a copy or facsimile which appears on its face to be an authentic copy of that proxy, power or authority, must be returned to the Company’s share registry at an address given below by no later than 11.00am (Sydney time) on Tuesday 20 November 2018:

Online: The Proxy Form can be lodged online by visiting www.linkmarketservices.com.au. Select ‘Investor Login’ and enter Evolution Mining Limited in the Issuer name field, your Security Reference Number (SRN) or Holder Identification Number (HIN) (which is shown on the front of your Proxy Form), postcode and security code which is shown on the screen and click ‘Login’. Select the ‘Voting’ tab and then follow the prompts. You will be taken to have signed your Proxy Form if you lodge it in accordance with the instructions given on the website.

A Proxy Form accompanies this Notice of Annual General Meeting.

To be valid, a Proxy Form and the Power of Attorney under which it is signed or proof thereof must be to the satisfaction of the Directors of the Company.

The Company reserves the right to declare invalid any proxy not received in this manner.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum is for the information of Members in connection with resolutions to be considered at the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held on Thursday 22 November 2018 at 11.00am (Sydney time).

Business

Annual Financial Report

The Corporations Act requires the reports of the Directors and independent external auditors and the annual financial report, including the financial statements of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2018, to be laid before the Annual General Meeting, but does not require a formal resolution on the financial statements or reports. However, provision will be made at the Annual General Meeting for Members as a whole to ask questions or make comments on the reports or the management of the Company. Members may question the auditor regarding the conduct of the audit, the independence of the auditor, preparation and content of the reports and accounting policies adopted by the Company.

The Company’s 2018 Annual Report is available on the Company’s website at www.evolutionmining.com.au/Reports/.

Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

In accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company is required to present to its Members the remuneration report as disclosed in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report.

The vote is advisory only and is not binding on the Directors or the Company. A reasonable opportunity will be given to Members as a whole to ask questions about, or make comments on, the remuneration report. The remuneration report is set out in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report and is also available on the Company’s website at www.evolutionmining.com.au/Reports/.

The remuneration report explains the Board policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to the Company’s key management personnel (KMP) (including the directors of the Company), sets out details of the remuneration and service agreement for each member of the KMP and sets out the details of any share based compensation.

Under the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on the relevant resolution are voted against the adoption of the remuneration report at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Members at the second annual general meeting a resolution proposing that another general meeting be held within 90 days, at which all of the Company’s Directors (other than the Executive Chairman, who for the purposes of clauses 8.1(f) and 9.1 of the Constitution of the Company serves as the Managing Director) must retire unless they are re-elected at that meeting ( Spill Resolution ).

The Company has not had a vote of 25% against the adoption of the remuneration report since the introduction of this requirement in the Corporations Act and as such the 2018 Notice of Meeting does not contain a Spill Resolution.

For the voting exclusions applicable to this Resolution 1, please refer to the ‘Entitlement to Vote’ section of the Notice of Annual General Meeting.

Board Recommendation

Due to each Director having an interest in the outcome of Resolution 1, and for good governance, the Board refrains from making a recommendation to Members.

Note – The Chairman of the Annual General Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

Resolution 2 – Re-election of Mr Graham Freestone as a Director of the Company

Mr Freestone was appointed as a Director of the Company on 10 December 2009 and is considered to be Independent by the Board.

In addition, Mr Freestone serves as a member of the Audit Committee and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. Mr Freestone will retire at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting in accordance with clause 8.1(d) of the Constitution of the Company and being eligible, has offered himself for re-election.

Mr Freestone has more than 45 years’ experience in the petroleum and natural resources industry. He has a broad finance, corporate and commercial background obtained in Australia and internationally through senior finance positions with the Shell Group, Acacia Resources Limited and AngloGold Ashanti Limited.

Mr Freestone is a Non-Executive Director of Kasbah Resources Limited (appointed February 2017), a company with a tin project in Morocco, and Chairs its Remuneration and Audit Committees.

Mr Freestone is a former Non-Executive director of Lion Selection Limited and Catalpa Resources Limited.

Board Recommendation

The Board, with Mr Freestone abstaining, unanimously recommends that Members vote to approve Resolution 2.

page 5

Resolution 3 – Re-election of Mr Lawrence (Lawrie) Conway as a Director of the Company

Mr Conway was appointed as a Director of the Company on 19 October 2011 and is the Finance Director and Chief Financial Officer and is therefore not considered to be independent by the Board.

Mr Conway will retire at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting in accordance with clause 8.1(d) of the Constitution of the Company and being eligible, has offered himself for re-election.

Mr Conway has more than 26 years’ commercial experience in the resources sector across a diverse range of commercial and financial activities. Mr Conway has held a mix of corporate and operational commercial roles within Australia, Papua New Guinea and Chile.

Mr Conway is a former Newcrest Executive General Manager (Commercial and West Africa) responsible for Newcrest’s group Supply and Logistics, Marketing, Information Technology, and Laboratory functions as well as Newcrest’s business in West Africa.

Board Recommendation

The Board, with Mr Conway abstaining, unanimously recommends that Members vote to approve Resolution 3.

Resolutions 4 and 5 - Issue of Performance Rights to Mr Jacob (Jake) Klein and Mr Lawrence (Lawrie) Conway under the Employee Share Option and Performance Rights Plan

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 requires member approval for the acquisition of securities by a director under an employee incentive scheme. If approved, the approval applies to the issue of the Performance Rights and the issue of ordinary fully paid shares (if any) on the vesting of the Performance Rights.

Resolution 4 is seeking Member approval for the grant of 495,935 Performance Rights to Mr Klein under the Company’s Employee Share Option and Performance Rights Plan ( Plan ) and Resolution 5 is seeking Member approval for the grant of 268,831 Performance Rights to Mr Conway under the Plan.

The number of Performance Rights proposed to be issued to Mr Klein and to Mr Conway is the maximum amount of Performance Rights that will vest if they satisfy what the Board considers stretch or outstanding performance achievement, as described below.

The vesting of the Performance Rights incorporates performance conditions which trigger vesting at ‘threshold’, ‘target’ and ‘exceptional’ performance levels and the vesting scales have been designed appropriately to reward above target and truly exceptional Company performance.

The Performance Rights will be issued in accordance with the rules of the Plan and in a single tranche to be performance tested at the end of a three year period ending 30 June 2021. Subject to the satisfaction of the performance conditions described below and to any adjustment in accordance with the rules of the Plan (e.g. upon a reconstruction of securities), Mr Klein and Mr Conway will each receive one share in the Company for each Vested Performance Right granted to them.

Performance Conditions of Performance Rights

The Performance Rights will only vest on a Relevant Date if Mr Klein and Mr Conway remain as employees of the Company up to and including that Relevant Date.

The number of Performance Rights which vest on the Relevant Dates will depend on the extent to which the Vesting Conditions have been satisfied for the relevant period.

Upon the Vesting Conditions having been satisfied (as determined and ratified by the Board) Mr Klein and Mr Conway will be allocated Performance Shares.

The Vesting Conditions will be based on:

Measure	Weighting
The Company’s relative total shareholder return (TSR) measured against the TSR for a peer group of 20 comparator gold mining companies (Peer Group Companies) (Relative TSR Performance Rights)	25%
The Company’s absolute TSR return (Absolute TSR Performance Rights)	25%
Growth in Evolution’s Earnings Per Share (EPS Performance Rights)	25%
Growth in Ore Reserves Per Share (Ore Reserves Performance Rights)	25%

page 6

The Peer Group Companies for the FY18 Performance Rights comprise the following:

Alamos Gold Inc	AngloGold
B2Gold Corp	Centamin Egypt Inc
Centerra Gold	Detour Gold Corp
Endeavour Mining Corporation	Gold Fields
IAMGOLD Corp	Kinross
Kirkland Lake	New Gold Inc
Newcrest	Northern Star Resources
Oceana Gold Corp	Regis Resources
Saracen	St Barbara
Tahoe Resources	Yamana Gold

The Board has the discretion to adjust the composition and number of the Peer Group Companies on an annual basis for each year’s Performance Rights grant, to take into account events including, but not limited to, takeovers, mergers and demergers that might occur during the relevant period. Any adjustments made to the Peer Group Companies will be disclosed in the Company’s remuneration report.

The effective testing date for the Performance Rights is 30 June 2021 with the testing to occur within 90 days after that date. Performance Rights will lapse after testing if they do not vest. There is no re-testing.

Relative TSR Performance Rights

25% of the Performance Rights will be tested against the Company’s TSR performance relative to the Peer Group Companies ( Relative TSR Performance Rights ). The Company’s TSR will be based on the percentage by which its 30day volume weighted average share price on ASX ( VWAP ) at the close of trade on 30 June 2021 (plus the value of any dividends paid during the performance period) ( 2021 Evolution TSR ) has increased over the company’s 30-day VWAP at the close of trade on the 30 June 2018. For the avoidance of doubt, the 30 day VWAP as at 30 June 2018 was $3.40363 ( 2018 Evolution VWAP ).

The TSR for each Peer Group Company will be based on the percentage by which each Peer Group Company’s 30-day VWAP at the close of trade on 30 June 2021 (plus the value of any dividends paid during the performance period) (each a 2021 Peer Group TSR ) has increased over that company’s 30-day VWAP at the close of trade on 30 June 2021.

The proportion of the TSR Performance Rights that will vest will be based on the 2021 Evolution TSR as compared to the 2021 Peer Group TSRs and will be determined as follows:

Level of performance achieved	Company Relative TSR Performance	% of Relative TSR Performance Rights vesting
Threshold	Equal to top 50th percentile	33%
	Above the top 50th percentile and below the top 25th percentile	Straight-line pro-rata between 33% and 66%
Target	Equal to top 25th percentile	66%
	Above the top 25th percentile and below the top 10th percentile	Straight-line pro-rata between 66% and 100%
Exceptional	Equal to top 10th percentile or above	100%

Absolute TSR Performance Rights

25% of the Performance Rights will be tested against the Company’s absolute TSR performance relative to the 2018 Evolution VWAP ( Absolute TSR Performance Rights ), measured as the cumulative annual TSR over the three year performance period ending 30 June 2021.

The proportion of the Absolute TSR Performance Rights that will vest will be determined by the Company’s Absolute TSR Performance as follows:

page 7

Level of performance achieved	2019 Company Absolute TSR Performance	% of Absolute TSR Performance Rights vesting
Threshold	Equal to 10% Per Annum Return	33%
	Above 10% Per Annum Return and below 15% Per Annum Return	Straight-line pro-rata between 33%and 66%
Target	Equal to 15% Per Annum Return	66%
	Above 15% Per Annum Return and below 20% Per Annum Return	Straight-line pro-rata between 66% and 100%
Exceptional	Equal to 20% Per Annum Return or above	100%

Earnings Per Share (EPS) Performance Rights

25% of the Performance Rights will be tested against the Company’s growth in EPS (calculated by excluding any NonRecurring Items), measured as the cumulative annual growth rate over the three year performance period to 30 June 2021. The proportion of the Growth in EPS Performance Rights that will vest will be determined as follows:

Level of performance achieved	2021 Company EPS Performance	% of EPS Performance Rights vesting
Threshold	Equal to 7% per annum growth in EPS	33%
	Above 7% per annum growth and below 11% per annum growth	Straight-line pro-rata between 33%and 66%
Target	Equal to 11% per annum growth	66%
	Above 11% per annum growth and below 15% per annum growth	Straight-line pro-rata between 66%and 100%
Exceptional	Equal to 15% per annum growth or above	100%

Growth in Ore Reserves Per Share

The remaining 25% of the Performance Rights will be tested against the Company’s growth in Ore Reserves Per Share, calculated by measuring the growth over the three year performance period by comparing the baseline measure of the Ore Reserves as at 31 December 2017 ( Baseline Ore Reserves ) to the Ore Reserves as at 31 December 2020 on a per share basis, with testing to be performed at 30 June 2021. The proportion of the Growth in Ore Reserves Per Share Performance Rights that will vest will be determined as follows:

Level of performance achieved	2021 Company Ore Reserves Per Share Performance	% of Ore Reserves Per Share Performance Rights vesting
Threshold	Equal to 90% of Baseline Ore Reserves	33%
	Above 90% of Baseline Ore Reserves but below 100% of Baseline Ore Reserves	Straight-line pro-rata between 33% and 66%
Target	Equal to 100% of Baseline Ore Reserves	66%
	Above 100% of Baseline Ore Reserves and below 120% of Baseline Ore Reserves	Straight-line pro-rata between 66%and 100%
Exceptional	Equal to 120% of Baseline Ore Reserves and above	100%
