EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Introduction

The Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Meeting to be held at 10:00AM (Brisbane Time) on Tuesday, 26 November 2024.

The purpose of the Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with sufficient information known to the Company to assess the merits of the Resolutions set out in this Notice.

This Explanatory Statement and Proxy Form, form part of the Notice and should be read in conjunction with it.

Capitalised terms used in this Explanatory Statement have the meaning given to them in Schedule 1 - Definitions.

In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act, Shareholders are advised that:

• (i) each Shareholder has a right to appoint a proxy;

• (ii) the proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company; and

• (iii) a Shareholder who is entitled to cast 2 or more votes may appoint 2 proxies (but not more) and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to

10808196v2

exercise. If the Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes, then in accordance with rule 15.1(b) of the Constitution, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes.

Certain categories of persons (including Directors and the Chairman) are prohibited from voting on Resolutions in relation to the remuneration of KMP, including as a proxy in some circumstances. If you are appointing a proxy, to ensure that your vote counts, please read the instructions on the Proxy Form carefully.

The details of the Resolutions contained in the Explanatory Statement accompanying this Notice should be read together with, and form part of, this Notice.

On a poll, ordinary Shareholders have one vote for each Share held.

A proxy may be either an individual or a body corporate. If you wish to appoint a body corporate as your proxy, you must specify on the Proxy Form:

• (i) the full name of the body corporate appointed as proxy; and

• (ii) the full name or title of the individual representative of the body corporate to attend the Meeting.

• (c) Proxy appointments in favour of the Chair, the secretary or any Director that does not contain a direction on how to vote will be voted by the Chair in favour of each of the Resolutions proposed in this Notice. You should note that if you appoint the Chair as your proxy, or if the Chair is appointed as your proxy by default, you will be taken to authorise the Chair to exercise the proxy even if the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP.

• (d) Proxy Forms must be signed by a Shareholder or the Shareholder’s representative or, if a corporation, executed under seal or in accordance with section 127 of the Corporations Act, or signed by an authorised officer or agent.

(i) Enquiries

(j)

Voting on special resolutions

The term “Special Resolution” as used in the Notice and this Explanatory Statement, takes its meaning from the Corporations Act. Under the Corporations Act, for a resolution to be a special resolution:

• (i) the notice of meeting proposing the resolution must state both the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution and the terms of the resolution (see Resolution 8); and

• (ii) it must be passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by members entitled to vote on the resolution.

Financial Statements and Directors’ Report

The Corporations Act requires the reports of the Directors and the auditor of the Company and the annual financial report, including the financial statements, to be put before the Meeting. The Corporations Act does not require a vote of Shareholders at the Meeting on the reports or statements. However, Shareholders will be given an opportunity to raise questions on the reports and statements for the year ended 30 June 2024 at the Meeting.

Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

The Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors’ Report in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report. The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company.

Section 249L(2) of the Corporations Act requires the Company to inform Shareholders that a Resolution on the Remuneration Report will be put at the Meeting. Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires that the Resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted must be put to the vote. Resolution 1 seeks this approval.

However, in accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Shareholders should note that Resolution 1 is an “advisory only” Resolution, which does not bind the Directors or the Company. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

Nevertheless, under the Corporations Act, a ‘two strikes and re-election’ process in relation to the Shareholders vote on Resolution 1 is required and provides that:

• a ‘first strike’ will occur if this Remuneration Report Resolution (Resolution 1) receives a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more. If this occurs, the Company’s subsequent remuneration report must contain either an explanation of the Board’s proposed action in response to the ‘no’ vote, or an explanation of why no action has been taken by the Board.

• A ‘second strike’ will occur if the resolution to adopt the remuneration report at the next annual general meeting of the Company also receives a ‘no’ vote of 25% of more. If this occurs, the Shareholders will vote at that annual general meeting to determine whether the Directors will

10808196v2

need to stand for re-election at a separate ( Spill Resolution ), subsequent general meeting (the Spill General Meeting ). If this Spill Resolution passes with 50% or more of the eligible votes cast, the Spill General Meeting must take place within 90 days from the relevant annual general meeting.

At last year’s annual general meeting, 5.04% of the votes cast on the resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report were against adopting the remuneration report. Accordingly, no Spill Resolution has been included in this Notice of Annual General Meeting.

The Board makes no recommendation on voting for this Resolution 1. A Voting Exclusion Statement is set out in the Notice of Meeting for this Resolution. Shareholders should be aware that any undirected proxies given to the Chair will be cast by the Chair and counted in favour of Resolution 1.

Resolution 2 – Re-Election of Anthony McGrady as a Director

Background

Rule 3.6 of the Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that at the annual general meeting onethird of the Directors for the time being, or if their number is not three nor a multiple of three, then the number nearest one-third, must retire from office. Rule 3.6 of the Constitution also provides that this does not apply to the Managing Director. Accordingly, Resolution 2 seeks the re-election of the Director who retires by rotation in accordance with the Constitution, being Mr. Anthony McGrady ( Mr McGrady ).

Proposed Director

A profile of Mr McGrady is provided below:

A member of the Australian Labor Party, Mr McGrady was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Queensland in 1989 as the Member for Mount Isa after 16 years from 1973 as an Alderman on the Mount Isa City Council and as Mayor for the last five years.

Mr McGrady was Minister for Mines and Energy from 1998 to 2001, moving to Police and Corrective Services in 2001 and then to State Development and Innovation in 2004. He was subsequently elected as Speaker of the Legislative Assembly in 2005 and retained that role until his retirement from State politics in 2006. Mr McGrady was awarded the Member of the Order of Australia in 2009 for service to the Parliament of Queensland, to the community of Mount Isa through local government roles and, to youth training and development programs. At the 2012 Queensland local government elections, he was again elected Mayor of Mount Isa and held the position until retiring in 2016.

Mr McGrady currently chairs the Queensland Premier’s Ambassadors Council, the CopperString Regional Reference Group and LifeFlight’s Advisory Committee for the North-West Region. He is a Federal Government appointee to the Riversleigh World Heritage Committee.

Recommendation 1.2 of the Corporate Governance Principles provide that in respect of a motion to reelect a director, a company should disclose the same information that it would disclose with respect to a director being elected for the first time. Accordingly:

• following discussions with Mr McGrady, the Company is not aware of any interest, position or relationship of Mr McGrady which might influence or be reasonably perceived to influence in any material aspect, his capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board, or to prevent him from acting in best interests of the Company; and

• bearing in mind those factors set out in Recommendation 2.3 of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles, the Board is of the view that if elected, Mr McGrady will qualify as an independent Director.

The Directors (other than Mr. McGrady, who abstains from making any recommendation in relation to the Resolution) recommend that Shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of Resolution 2.

10808196v2

The Chair intends to vote all undirected proxies IN FAVOUR of Resolution 2.

Resolution 3 – Approval of Additional Placement Capacity Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

General

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listing company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on the issue at the start of that period.

However, ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to seek Shareholder approval to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of their issued share capital through placements over a 12-month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less.

The Company is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index as of the time of this Annual General Meeting.

Meanwhile, the Company’s market capitalisation is less than $300 million when this Notice of Meeting is issued. But to be an eligible entity under Listing Rule 7.1A, the calculation of the market capitalisation will be based on the closing market price of the Shares, on the last Trading Day on which trades in the Shares were recorded before the date of the Annual General Meeting, multiplied by the number of Shares on issue (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis).

Therefore, the Company is an eligible entity and able to undertake the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A when this Notice of Meeting is issued. But in the event that the Company for any reason ceases to be an eligible entity on the date before the Annual General Meeting, this Resolution will not be put forward to be voted in the Meeting.

If the Company ceases to be an eligible entity after the Company has already obtained Shareholder approval pursuant to this Resolution, the approval obtained will not lapse and the Company will still be entitled to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital during the 12-month period following this AGM.

The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability, if required, to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility. This approval is sought so that the Company is in a position to raise additional capital for the purposes of progressing the Hawsons Iron Project, if required.

The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

The approval of Resolution 3 will provide the Company with the flexibility to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the 12-month period after the Meeting, in addition to the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, without a further requirement to obtain the prior approval of Shareholders.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A, and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 3 is a special resolution and, therefore, requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

10808196v2

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

• (a) Shareholder approval - The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.

• (b) Equity Securities - Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.

The Company currently has the following equity securities quoted:

ASX Code	Security Description	Number
HIO	Ordinary Fully Paid Shares	1,016,501,368
HIOO	Options Expiring 30 May 2026	102,440,309

Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that eligible entities that have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

• A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

• (a) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 other than exceptions 9, 16 or 17;

• (b) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months on the conversion of convertible securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

  • (i) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the 12 months; or

  • (ii) the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;

• (c) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months under an agreement to issue Shares within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

  • (i) the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the 12 months; or

10808196v2

• (ii) the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;

• (d) plus the number of partly paid Shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

• (e) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid ordinary Shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without Shareholder approval;

• (f) less the number of fully paid Shares cancelled in the 12 months.

Note that A has the same meaning in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.

• D is 10%.

• E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

As of the date of this Notice, the Company has 1,016,501,368 Shares on issue and therefore has the capacity to issue up to:

• (a) 152,475,205 Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and

• (b) subject to the approval of Resolutions 3, an additional 101,650,136 Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have the capacity to issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

Specific information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to, and in accordance with, ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:

• (a) 10% Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:

• (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained;

10808196v2

• (ii) the time and date of the Company’s next Annual General Meeting; and

• (iii) the time and date of the approval by holders of the eligible entity’s ordinary securities of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2

(10% Placement Period).

• (b) Minimum price

The Equity Securities will be issued for a cash consideration at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company’s Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

• (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

• (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in subparagraph (a) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

• (c) Potential risk of economic and voting dilution

If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in Table 1 below. There is a risk that:

• (i) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Annual General Meeting; and

• (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

Table 1 below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the market price of Shares (as at 30 September 2024) and the number of Shares as at the date of this Notice ( Table 1 ) calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, representing variable “A”.

Table 1 also shows:

• (i) two examples where each variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%; and

• (ii) two examples of where the issue price of Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price of $0.026 (being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 30 September 2024).

Table 1 has been prepared on the following assumptions:

• (i) With respect to the number of ordinary securities, there are currently 1,016,501,368 Shares on issue.

• (ii) The assumed issue price is $0.026, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 30 September 2024.

  • (iii) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • (iv) The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Annual General Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (v) No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • (vi) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  • (vii) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Annual General Meeting. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  • (viii) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (ix) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares.

• (d) Purpose of potential issue

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 upon issue of any Equity Securities.

• (e) Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Facility

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent upon the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

• (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing holders of Equity Securities can participate;

• (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

• (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

• (iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

• (f)
