PRINCIPLE 1:

LAY SOLID FOUNDATIONS FOR MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT

Invictus has a Corporate Governance Statement on its website www.invictusenergy.com containing the key Invictus corporate governance documents which establish the roles and functions reserved for the Board, the roles and functions delegated to the Chief Executive Officer and/or Executives, and the relationship between the Board and the Chief Executive Officer and/or Executives.

The Board’s primary responsibility is to safeguard and enhance the interests of shareholders and stakeholders by overseeing the Company’s business activities and undertaking the effective functions of strategy formulation, policy design, and supervision.

The Chief Executive Officer is responsible and charged with running the affairs of the Company and executing the strategy set by the Board.

The Remuneration Committee annually assesses and evaluates the performance of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer. Performance measures are established by the Board and outcomes of the review are reported to the Board.

Each Director has access to the Company Secretary for advice and support in effectively discharging their roles. Additionally, each Board member may seek external professional advice at the expense of the Company in respect of their roles with the approval of the Chairman. At present Mr Chiappini acts as both Non Executive Director and Company Secretary, the board considers that he is able to discharge both roles effectively

Mr Scott Macmillan was appointed Managing Director in June 2018 and as such during the current year a performance evaluation was conducted.

It is intended that an informal evaluation of the performance of the Board and its Directors is undertaken each year. The Chairman of the Board is the leader and driver of this process. The evaluation of the performance of the Board’s various committees is undertaken on an ‘exception’ basis. The Chair of the Board is also the leader of the evaluation. The process for evaluating the performance of the Board, its committees and directors, has yet not been documented.

Invictus is committed to creating a diverse workplace, which reflects the breadth of talent available in the communities it operates in. The Company believes a range of employees encompassing diversity of gender, age, ethnicity, and cultural background enables greater innovation by drawing on diverse backgrounds, experience, and skills. Improving the level of diversity, female participation, and female promotion in Invictus remains an objective of the Board. The company's ability to roll out its diversity policy is limited by the size of the current full time work force (2021:1 FTE, 2020: 1 FTE).

==> picture [101 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

During the 30 June 2021 period Invictus workforce composition was one full time employee, Managing Director Mr Scott Macmillan.

Invictus operates in a traditionally male dominated industry of mining exploration and related services and is therefore predictably under represented by women in its workforce. At the date of writing this report, the Company has only one full time employee, Mr Scott Macmillan, Managing Director. When the opportunity arises, enhancing the participation of women in the workplace will become a focus of the Invictus Board.

PRINCIPLE 2:

STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO ADD VALUE

The Invictus Board comprises Five Directors:

Stuart Lake Chairman Non - Independent
Scott Macmillan Managing Director Non-Independent
Barnaby Egerton
Warburton
Non-Executive Director Independent
Joe Mutizwa Non-Executive Director Independent
Gabriel Chiappini Non-Executive Director Independent

The composition of the Board reflects the size of the Company and the unique and significant industry experience the Directors bring to the Board. Invictus has a majority of independent Directors on its Board.

Mr Chiappini, Mr Mutizwa and and Mr Egerton Warburton fulfil the Governance Council’s independence criteria (Recommendation 2.5). Mr Macmillan is not considered to be an independent director due to his employment with the company as Managing Director, Mr Lake is not considered independent as he fullfils part-time executive role.

Each new member of the Board participates in an induction program which encompasses: the duties, roles, and responsibilities of each Director; the operations of the Board and its Committees; and outlines the Company’s culture and values as well as the strategic, financial, operational, and risk issues within the Company.

A biography profiling each Directors’ skill, experience, and expertise is set out in the Directors’ Report along with their respective term of office.

PRINCIPLE 3:

ACT ETHICALLY AND RESPONSIBLY

The Invictus has adopted a Code of Conduct, which prescribes guidelines and policies aimed at maintaining high ethical standards and good corporate behaviour in the workplace. The Code of Conduct may be found in the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s website.

Invictus encourages the reporting of instances which may involve a breach (or suspected breach) of the Code of Conduct.

PRINCIPLE 4:

SAFEGUARD INTEGRITY IN FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Committee’s charter is published on the Company’s website, schedule 3 of the Corporate Governance Plan

The Company complies with Recommendation 4.1, as the composition of the Board does not lend to the practicality of a majority of independent Directors managing the Audit and Risk Management Committee. The full board are members of the Audit and Risk Management Committee. The Committee is chaired by Mr Gabriel Chiappini who is an independent director & member of the Chartered Accountants Australia & New Zealand and member of Australian Institute of Company Directors.

The committee meets at least twice per annum and meetings are co-ordinated to coincide with the release of the Company’s interim and full year financial reports and audits. The Committee has access to external auditors and a high degree of financial literacy is prevalent amongst the committee members. The details, qualifications, and experience of each committee member and the attendance of committee members at Audit and Risk Management Committee meetings are contained in the Directors’ Report.

PRINCIPLE 6:

RESPECT THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS

The policy encourages shareholder attendance and participation at member meetings as it represents an opportunity to meet, question, and discuss issues with the Board and Executives. The Board and external auditors all attend the Company’s Annual General Meeting and are available for shareholders queries.

The Invictus website is a central source of information for shareholders. The Company’s Shareholder Communications Policy is available on the Company’s website in the ‘Investors’ section and the Company encourages security holders to contact and communicate with the company and security register electronically.

PRINCIPLE 7:

RECOGNISE AND MANAGE RISK

Invictus is committed to the identification, monitoring, and management of risks associated with its business activities as a key part of its good business practices and governance activities.

The Company has implemented a number of controls in its risk management and reporting systems and regularly assesses and improves its risk management systems to best practice bench marks.

The Board is responsible for approving the Company’s policies and risk oversight as well as satisfying itself that management continues to implement, develop, and improve its risk regime in accordance with the strategic risk policies. The daily operational management of risk is delegated to management throughout all levels of the organisation under the direction of the Chief Executive Officer. The Board monitors and receives reports on areas of operational and financial risk, and thereafter considers strategies for appropriate risk management arrangements.

The Company's Risk committee is managed via the Audit & Risk Committee that monitors the integrity of financial reporting and the internal risk control regime.

The key risks of the Company were outlined and identified as part of the Invictus Energy acquisition and disclosed in the General Meeting notice issued in May 2018. These risks are internally updated as the Company progresses the development of its main assets.

The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer equivalent have provided the Board with a declaration in accordance with Section 295A of the Corporations Act 2001 , assuring the Board that a sound system of risk management and internal control is operating effectively in aspects related to financial reporting risks.

The Company does not have an internal audit function, however manages part of this process via, internal controls and risk management overseen by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer equivalent. Information on the Company’s charter of the Audit and Risk Committee is available on the Company’s website in the ‘Investors’ section.
