GATEWAY MINING LIMITED: 2016 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

12:30 PM, 25 NOVEMBER 2016

CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS

Good afternoon, my name is Trent Franklin. As chairman of Gateway Mining, I would like to welcome you to the Annual General Meeting of Gateway Mining Limited.

I’d like to introduce Gary Franklin, Non-Executive Director & Company Secretary. Our Managing Director Andrew Bray, has dialed in. Andrew is not in attendance today as he is in the United Kingdom and is well advanced in the process of finalizing financial facilities for the Company, should the Company advance certain acquisition opportunities.

The previous year has continued to be a trying time for junior explorers, with many companies continuing to face difficulties accessing new capital for further exploration. However, the Board has no doubt about the quality of the Gidgee asset, and its potential for substantial discoveries. Consequently, the Company will look to maintain the project in good standing and look to recommence significant activities when further funding becomes available.

The Board is also confident it has the capabilities and the skills to identify, acquire and finance valueadding opportunities in the resources sector. Over the course of this year, the Board has evaluated a number of acquisition opportunities, and began discussions with investors and brokers around the necessary financing.

It is, in my opinion, a credit to management that a placement of A$500,000 was successfully completed recently. This provides working capital to meet expense such as audit fees, ASX fees, registry fees, tenement rents and rates, and many other necessary administrative payments. It also provides funding to see through to completion, any acquisition.

Importantly, your directors have not drawn any fees, although they continue to accrue. On behalf of the board, I hope this demonstrates to shareholders our commitment to the Company and our strong desire to create value for shareholders and the successful development of projects under the Gateway umbrella.

As a final point, I can say that we hope to be able to update shareholders on an acquisition within the next month.

Thank you for your attendance today and your continued support of the Company.
