pandemic on the health and wellbeing of its personnel, contractors and stakeholders. It has in place protocols and response
plans to minimise the potential transmission of COVID-19. However, there are no guarantees that in the future further travel
restrictions and border closings, stay-at-home and quarantine notices, or lockdowns will not be imposed by government,
as events continue to unfold relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, its variants and available vaccines.
Government regulation: the mining industry is highly regulated by all levels of Government. Changes to regulation including
Government taxes and charges may affect the viability of the Company’s projects either because of access or other
restrictions or increased costs. The Company maintains communications with relevant parties to mitigate the effect of
regulation change including membership of industry bodies.
Operating risk: the Company’s operations are subject to operating risks that could result in increased costs and/or breaches
of regulations. To manage this risk, the Company seeks to attract and retain high calibre senior executives and employees
and implement suitable systems and processes to ensure targets are achieved.

8. Principle 8 – Remunerate fairly and responsibly

8. Principle 8 – Remunerate fairly and responsibly Principle 8 – Remunerate fairly and responsibly
A listed entity should pay director remuneration sufficient to attract and retain high quality directors and design its executive remuneration to attract, retain and motivate high
quality senior executives and to align their interests with the creation of value for security holders and with the entity’s values and risk appetite.
8.1 ASX 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 at 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.
The Board has a Remuneration Committee. The Committee has a formal Charter, a copy of which is disclosed on the
Company’s website.
The Committee is comprised of three members, a majority of whom are not independent Directors. Members of the
Committee and the number of meetings held during the financial year ended 31 July 2021 are as follows:

Meetings held during Director’s membership of

The chairman of the Committee is an independent Director.
8.2 ASX 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.
The Company’s policies on remuneration and the remuneration of Directors and senior executives during the financial year
ended 31 July 2021 are contained in the ’Remuneration Report’ section of the Directors’ Report in the 2021 Annual Report.
The Remuneration Report separately discloses the remuneration policies and practices for Non-Executive Directors and
senior executives (including Executive Directors).
In determining executive remuneration, the Board aims to ensure that remuneration practices are:
a) competitive and reasonable, enabling the Company to attract and retain high calibre talent;
b) aligned to the Company’s strategic and business objectives and the creation of shareholder value;
c) transparent and easily understood;
d) acceptable to shareholders; and
e) relevant to the Company’s financial position.

12

Havilah Resources Limited Corporate Governance Statement, ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (4th Edition)

The Company’s approach to remuneration ensures that remuneration is competitive, and is simple to administer and
understand by executives and shareholders.
Remuneration levels and arrangements are reviewed annually to ensure alignment to the market and the Company’s stated
objectives.
The Company’s reward structure provides for a combination of fixed and variable pay with the following components:
a) fixed remuneration in the form of base salary, superannuation and benefits; and
b) equity-based incentives.
There are no termination or retirement benefits for Non-Executive Directors (other than for superannuation). Remuneration
for Non-Executive Directors is currently set at the lower end of market rates for comparable ASX listed companies and takes
the form of cash and superannuation benefits.
8.3 ASX 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.
The Company has a Share Trading Policy, a copy of which is disclosed on the Company’s website.
The Share Trading Policy prohibits key management personnel from entering into transactions or arrangements that limit the
economic risk of participating in unvested entitlements under any equity-based remuneration schemes.
During March 2019 the Board approved a Performance Rights and Share Option Plan to incentivise employees. A copy of the
Performance Rights and Share Option Plan is disclosed on the Company’s website.

The Corporate Governance Statement is accurate and up to date as at 31 July 2021 and has been approved by the Board of Directors (‘Board’).

Date 25 October 2021:

Company Secretary

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.
