Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to begin by acknowledging that the regulatory approval process has and is taking time to obtain the relevant approvals.

The Board and management are fully committed to delivering for shareholders and working collaboratively with all stakeholders and regulators to achieve Crown Mountain environmental approvals and in parallel with this process, will look to improve the project economics and continue to look at potential opportunities for future growth.

Michael will shortly take you through his presentation, reflecting that Crown Mountain provides Jameson and its shareholders with a project that has the:

  • right project with robust economics

  • in the right location within an existing operating steel making coal mine region,

  • with the right product, underpinned by robust LT demand and diminishing supply

  • Right ESG strategy and process, which the Board takes very seriously. An example of this, is the Audit Risk committee evolving into the Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee during the year.

I would like to thank Michael and his management team, and my fellow directors for their efforts over the past 12 months. I would also like to thank our shareholders for their support this year.

Shareholders – it is a pleasure to provide an overview of the progress that the Company has made in the last twelve months.

It has been a year of challenges for development projects in all jurisdictions but I’m pleased to report that despite those challenges, the Company continues to make substantial progress towards development of the Crown Mountain Hard Coking Coal Project.

With this progress and with the challenges faced by other development projects, we continue to see Crown Mountain as the most advanced premium steelmaking coal project not just in Canada but across other key supplier locations.

The fundamentals of the company remain the same over the last 12 months.

While the primary focus remains of progress of Crown Mountain, we have considered a number of merger and acquisition opportunities which could complement Crown Mountain and add value to shareholders.

To date, we have not identified any opportunity which we consider is worthwhile or at a value which is beneficial to increasing overall shareholder value, and we will continue to assess potential opportunities as they arise.

Over the last twelve months, the share price has unfortunately declined in line with market conditions for development projects. We note that decline has been based on very limited volume and we recognise the continued support of the substantial majority of shareholders who have maintained equity positions in the company.

Unprecedented demand and diminishing supply to support steelmaking coal production

Before discussion on the specific progress of Crown Mountain, I’d like to discuss some fundamentals of the steel market and the impact on demand for global seaborne steelmaking coal.

Over the last two years with the recovery of global and acceleration of steel production, limited supply of steelmaking coal has led to unprecedented high prices.

Globally, since 2013 there has been zero growth in seaborne steelmaking coal supply compared with an increase in demand due to increased steel production.

At the recent Canadian Coal Conference in Vancouver, Wood Mackenzie noted that in order to meet demand for steel production and replace depleting mines, there will need to be 128Mtpa of new steelmaking coal production capacity by 2050.

The opportunity of participating in part of developing that 128MT of required new production capacity, is the clear focus of Jameson Resources.

Boston Consulting Group concluded that CO2 emissions reductions enabled by steel, outweigh emissions from steel production by 6 to 1[2]

This situation has been highlighted most clearly by Nippon Steel, Japan’s largest steelmaker, in its announcement regarding its investment decision in Teck’s Elk Valley operations.

In that announcement, Nippon Steel advised: “To reduce CO2 emissions and secure stable and efficient iron production, it is essential to procure high quality steelmaking coal supply”

Right Product - The challenges of new supply

==> picture [427 x 142] intentionally omitted <==

• Right legacy.
----- End of picture text -----

To develop new projects needs a new way of doing business! Jameson’s overarching goal is to create a positive legacy for a new era for steelmaking coal

==> picture [55 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

The development of new supply has been impacted by a range of factors including:

  • regulatory and Government policy uncertainty

  • community and NGO opposition

  • Big Miners' unwillingness to invest in new projects

  • Announced partial divestment by BHP and total divestment by Teck, the world’s two largest steelmaking coal exporters

  • Exit of other explorer developers (Allegiance, Atrum and Montem)

  • reduced funding sources

  • environmental legacies of historical projects

  • increasingly deeper and more complex geology.

Recognising these challenges, Jameson considers it essential that development of new projects can only be achieved by finding the right projects in the right locations with the right environmental management opportunities and decarbonisation strategy.

To develop those projects, also requires the right social considerations, such as indigenous and community engagement and being an employer of choice.

Development of projects in this way will enable new demand for premium steelmaking coal to be met but with a positive legacy for communities and the environment.

Crown Mountain – Right Product

==> picture [425 x 203] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

Crown Mountain Hard Coking Coal
• High CSR (Coke Strength after Reaction)
• Low volatile matter (VM)
• The Elk Valley and Queensland’s Bowen Basin are
recognised by the world’s leading steelmakers as the
preferred locations for supply of premium low-volatile
hard coking coal
• High CSR hard coking coal improves blast furnace
efficiency and lowers emissions
• Increased residence time in Blast Furnace reduces
overall coal demand and has the ability to result in
lower CO2 per tonne of steel produced.
Access to high quality premium low volatile hard coking coal
----- End of picture text -----

In that context, we are firmly of the view that Crown Mountain meets those strict criteria;

Firstly – Crown Mountain has the right product. High CSR, low volatile hard coking coal. This is the premium product that is sought be steelmakers to help reduce their overall coal demand and improve blast furnace efficiency.

Crown Mountain – Right Project
• Shallow open pit development – North, East and South pits
o Life of mine (LOM) 15 years
o Product mix: 86% HCC/14% PCI
o Years 1-4: clean coal production: 2.3 Mtpa
o LOM average clean coal production: 1.95 Mtpa
o Years 1-5: clean coal strip ratio 7.2:1
o LOM clean coal strip ratio: 9.5:1
(refer Competent Person Statement)
• Coal Handling and Preparation Plant (CHPP) located
immediately adjacent to North Pit. Reduced haul of ROM
coal and coal reject
• Clean coal conveyed ~3km from CHPP to Truck Loadout Bin
• Clean Coal then hauled ~15 kms to proposed Train Loadout
Facility and Clean Coal Stockpile adjacent to Canadian
Pacific’s existing rail line
• Coal will then be railed approximately 1,200km to the
preferred Westshore Terminal in Vancouver, for global
export.
Crown Mountain is an open pit project with an average LOM clean strip ratio of 9.5:1
----- End of picture text -----

Crown Mountain is the right project in that it is a shallow open-cut resource.

Shallow coal requires less waste removal and as a result less overall footprint of disturbance and less fuel to remove that overburden.

Crown Mountain is in an existing production area and is therefore located close to existing infrastructure removing the need to substantial capital investment in the development of extensive new rail lines, power lines or other infrastructure.

• Bankable Feasibility Study completed in July 2020 by Stantec Consulting as Study Manager, with key contributors
Sedgman Canada Limited (a member of CIMIC Group) and SRK Consulting (Opex and capex at +/-15% level of
accuracy)
• Product Optimisation Study completed in Aug 2021 by Sedgman and Stantec identified the substantial uplift in
product yield by increasing target product ash levels from 9.5% to 10.5% for North and East pits product, and 9.5%
PROJECT ECONOMICS to 11.0% for South Pit product
• The study determined an increased Life-of-Mine product yield of 52.9% resulting in an 8.4% increase in average
annual product coal sales to the BFS from 1.8 to 1.96Mtpa
• The reduced production cost and increased sales volume resulted in an overall 25% increase in pre-tax NPV10 to
US$469m, compared with that in the BFS.
• Low strip ratio open pit resource with attractive operating margins
PRODUCTION • Small footprint in self-contained water catchment
• Located in existing brownfield coal operations providing more than 90% of Canadian steelmaking coal exports
COMPETITIVE OPERATING • Average LOM FOB Vancouver cash cost US$89.14/tonne (Optimisation Study Aug 2021)
AND CAPITAL COSTS • Pre-production capital of US$351m (CA$468m), including mobile mining fleet
• Bathurst Resources Limited (ASX: BRL) has committed CA$14.1m to date, gaining 22% ownership of Jameson’s
STRATEGIC PARTNER • subsidiary NWP Coal Canada LtdBRL has an option to invest up to C$107.4m (CA$121.5m in total) to increase ownership to 50%, where Crown
Mountain would become a 50/50 JV.
Crown Mountain represents a compelling opportunity for development of a coking coal
project with an attractive operating cost structure and access to infrastructure
----- End of picture text -----

Crown Mountain is the Right Project due to its attractive economics.

The BFS completed in 2020 and Product Optimisation Study completed in 2021 concluded that due to its low strip ration and attractive location, the project has an NPV of more than USD450M.

These studies concluded that average LOM operating costs were approx. USD90/tonne FOB Vancouver. While there has likely been some inflation since that time, it is noted that coal price forecasts have also risen substantially since those studies were completed.

Jameson will continue to refine the BFS and look to further optimisation, as the project progresses toward approvals.

----- End of picture text -----

Crown Mountain is in the Right Country and in the Right Location.

The Elk Valley is regarded as one of the premier basins for premium low vol hard coking coal alongside the Bowen Basin in central Queensland. Current production in the Elk Valley is approx. 22.5Mt so Crown Mountain therefore represents a relatively small Greenfield Development in an existing Brownfield area.

As an existing production area, the Elk Valley has established infrastructure, contractors, suppliers and workforce with substantial experience in mine development and production and communities and municipalities that are supportive of ongoing mining development and operations.

Canada has some of the highest environmental standards in the world and so steelmakers seek that accreditation as they look to maximise the ESG credentials of raw materials supply and has a competitive royalty regime. The largest steelmaking coal basin in the world is the Bowen Basin, Queensland and the Qld Government has increased the Govt Royalty Levy substantially and is now the highest in the world, reducing margins for these mines.

Crown Mountain – Right Environment Strategy

==> picture [452 x 217] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

Crown Mountain has been designed to represent a new benchmark in environmental
management. Key features:
• Shallow coal seams ensures less waste rock minimising total disturbance area
• Cumulative Effects Assessment to ensure the Project’s contribution to existing cumulative
effects in the Elk Valley is essentially unmeasurable
• Commitment to strict environmental conditions and substantial offsets program to
remediate fish habitat in the Elk Valley which has been degraded by historical mining and
forestry activities
• Active engagement and involvement of Indigenous Nations in project design, assessment
and monitoring
• Accelerated rehabilitation – reclamation commences in Year 2 of operations
• CHPP located immediately adjacent to pits – no additional transport of waste
• Layer cake waste dump design to provide permanent source control of Selenium. No
ongoing management required or legacy issues following mine closure
• No Tailings Dam – dry tailings and coarse coal reject are placed in overburden dump as
part of layer cake design
• Hyperbaric Drying – excess moisture is removed from product coal via hyperbaric drying
reducing need for gas-fired thermal drying as used in existing Canadian mines.

Given increased awareness of environmental issues and the legacies of past projects, it is essential that only projects with a reduced environmental footprint are considered for development.

The Crown Mountain Project, in its location and design has many attributes that Jameson considers can establish a new benchmark in environmental management. Some of these features include:

  • Shallow coal seams ensures less waste rock minimising total disturbance area

  • Commitment to strict environmental conditions and substantial offsets program to remediate fish habitat in the Elk Valley which has been degraded by historical mining and forestry activities

  • Accelerated rehabilitation – reclamation commences in Year 2 of operations

  • CHPP located immediately adjacent to pits – no additional transport of waste

  • Layer cake waste dump design to provide permanent source control of Selenium. No ongoing management required or legacy issues following mine closure

  • No Tailings Dam – dry tailings and coarse coal reject are placed in overburden dump as part of layer cake design.

Crown Mountain – Right Decarbonisation Plan

==> picture [55 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

  • Crown Mountain coal seams are shallow, cleated and subcrop extensively. As a result it is expected to have very low fugi=ve methane emissions similar to other Elk Valley resources

  • • The Project loca=on and design provides extensive opportuni=es to further reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions

  • • Decarbonisa=on Plan to include: o 100% use of electricity from renewables (BC is 95% Hydro power) o Mine designed to maximise downhill dumping reducing fuel consumpBon

  • o Engagement with OEMs to consider all opBons for electrified and baFery fleet

  • o Hyperbaric coal drying – no requirement for gas dryers o RegeneraBve breaking for product coal haulage from site to rail loadout (14km haul with 450m elevaBon change)

  • o Use of alternaBve fuels for rail haulage (Canadian Pacific Rail is soon to commence trials of a Hydrogen fuel train for coal from Teck’s Elk Valley operaBons haulage)

  • o 14 year mine life. Project will be completed and fully rehabilitated by 2050.

  • British Columbia Coal Production – the world’s lowest GHG emissions intensity

Crown Mountain coal seams are shallow, cleated and subcrop extensively. As a result, it is expected to have low fugitive methane emissions similar to other Elk Valley resources.

The Project location and design provides extensive opportunities to further reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.

Jameson is currently reviewing the potential GHG emissions for the project with aim of benchmarking the project and developing a Decarbonisation Plan in the future. This plan will include:

  • 100% use of electricity from renewables (BC is 95% Hydro power)

  • Mine designed to maximise downhill dumping reducing fuel consumption

  • Engagement with OEMs to consider all options for electrified and battery fleet

  • Hyperbaric coal drying – no requirement for gas dryers

  • Regenerative breaking for product coal haulage from site to rail loadout (14km haul with 450m elevation change)

  • Use of alternative fuels for rail haulage

  • 14-year mine life. Project will be completed and fully rehabilitated by 2050.

Crown Mountain Project is the most advanced project undergoing joint assessment by the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC) and the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office (EAO).

A comprehensive Environmental Assessment (EA), to meet BC requirements, and Environmental Impact Study (EIS), to meet Federal requirements, have been prepared following four years of data collection and impact assessment. These EA/EIS amount to more than 25,000 pages of detailed technical assessment.

Following input from Indigenous Nations, IAAC and EAO released a Joint Assessment and Engagement Plan (JAEP) in July 2023 confirming EA/EIS assessment process and timelines. Based on review and comments from IAAC, EAO and Indigenous Nations, Jameson is submitting the EIS to IAAC for Conformity Review before the end of 2023 and anticipates formal Technical Review expected to commence in early 2024.

In advance of Review, IAAC, EAO and Indigenous Nations have undertaken extensive site visits during August and September 2023.

Potential to further improve Crown Mountain HCC Project economics
----- End of picture text -----

On the basis of the Joint Assessment and Engagement Plan issued by IAAC and EAO, Jameson has updated the forecast timeline for project development.

That timeline is based on Technical and Public Review of the EA/EIS commencing in early 2024. Following that review, Jameson will be required to respond to requests for any additional information. Based on the JAEP and subject to the timing of the response to those Information Requests or any further queries, Jameson anticipates potential approval of the EA/EIS in mid 2025.

Jameson is currently focussed only on the permitting and approval of the project and has prudently deferred any commitment to detailed engineering or pre-development capital until after approval is obtained.

Opportunities exist to compress timetable and bring forward first production subject to progress with offtake partners and project funding.

----- End of picture text -----

In conclusion, the Board of Jameson is pleased to confirm ongoing progress of Crown Mountain which supports its assessment by the International Energy Agency as the most advanced steelmaking coal project in Canada.

The Company maintains that the fundamental demand and supply imbalance and the lack of premium advanced projects position the company for substantial opportunity to progress Crown Mountain toward development with a substantial benefit of shareholders.

We look forward to detailed engagement with indigenous nations, community and regulators during the technical review of the EA/EIS and will keep shareholders closely informed about the progress of that process.

Thank you.
