Our corporate governance statement[1] for the period above can be found at:[2]

These pages of our ☐ annual report: This URL on our https://jamesonresources.com.au/corporate-governance/ ☒ website:

The Corporate Governance Statement is accurate and up to date as at [insert effective date of statement] and has been approved by the board.

The annexure includes a key to where our corporate governance disclosures can be located.[3]

Date: 6 September 2021 Name of authorised officer Lisa Dalton, Company Secretary authorising lodgement:

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.

Composition

The composition of Jameson’s Board changed during the year with the addition of Managing Director, Michael Gray, taking the number of directors on the Board to four.

Independence

All directors, apart from the Managing Director are Non-Executive directors at the date of this statement. During the year, Joel Nicholls, acted as Executive Director while we recruited a Managing Director. Joel acted as Executive Director from 16 March 2020 to 28 February 2021 at which time he resumed his role as a Non-Executive Director.

Our Board

The Company recognises the importance of independent non-executive directors and the external perspective and advice which they can offer.

The Board assesses its Directors’ independence on the basis of criteria detailed in ASX Corporate Governance Principles and as set out in Annexure A to Jameson’s Board Charter. Independent directors are only categorised as such if they are free of any interest, position, association or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, in a material respect, their capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the board and to act in the best interests of the entity and its security holders generally.

Nicole Hollows and Steve van Barneveld are independent non-executive directors.

Jameson is conscious of its responsibilities to its key stakeholders (including its shareholders, employees, customers, the communities in which it operates and the regulatory authorities with which it has dealings).

Code of Conduct & Values

Jameson’s values underpin relationships with key stakeholders. These values are supported by the Code of Conduct which sets out social and business behaviours and objectives for all Directors and staff.

ASX Announcements

Like all listed companies, we have continuous disclosure obligations under the ASX Listing Rules.

This requires the disclosure to ASX immediately (subject to some exceptions) of price sensitive information before anyone else to make sure that all investors have equal and timely access to material information.

Our continuous disclosure policy explains how we manage price sensitive information to comply with this obligation. The Policy is available from our website and it includes our disclosure protocols:

  • All key announcements are to be circulated to, and approved by the Board

  • All members of the Board are required to respond as soon as possible on key announcements that are circulated for approval

  • Announcements that are procedural in nature and that do not contain price-sensitive information may be approved by the Managing Director or Company Secretary

  • Any relevant parties named in the announcement should also be given the opportunity to review the announcement prior to its release, to confirm all information is factually correct.

How we communicate with shareholders and stakeholders

The Company Secretary is responsible for coordinating communications with ASX and for having systems in place to ensure that information is not released to external parties until confirmation of lodgement is received from ASX.

Shareholder Communication Policy

Our Shareholder Communications Policy provides that the Managing Director has the primary responsibility for communication with Shareholders. It has been designed to complement the Continuous Disclosure Policy, to make sure that information flows are controlled, and to reduce the likelihood of inadvertent disclosures outside the continuous disclosure reporting regime.

Annual General Meetings

Shareholders are invited to attend and participate in our annual general meeting each year. We encourage shareholders to send questions to us in advance of the annual general meeting, either online or by mail.

At the meeting, a reasonable opportunity is allowed for Shareholders as a whole to ask questions about or make comments on the management of Jameson or the business of the meeting.

Shareholders are also invited to submit written questions directed to the auditor about the content of the auditor’s report and the conduct of the audit of the Annual Financial Report.

Jameson Website

The investor centre on our website provides a central point for Shareholders to access information including ASX announcements, media releases, presentations, reports and information about dividend history and the annual general meeting.

Investor Relations

We are committed to engagement with the investment community, telling our story and communicating our strategy.

We have an investor relations program to facilitate an effective two-way communication with the investment community to provide a better understanding of Jameson’s performance.

Board

Directors are responsible for assessing whether the financial statements and notes are in accordance with the Corporations Act, that they comply with accounting standards and give a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the Group.

A Directors’ declaration to this effect is included in the annual and half-year financial reports.

Audit and Risk Committee

The Audit and Risk Committee assists the Directors by providing oversight of the Group’s financial reporting responsibilities: Specifically the ARC:

  • Reviews the half-year and full year statutory financial reports for recommendation to the Board

How we maintain integrity of financial reporting

  • Reviews significant accounting estimates and judgements used for the preparation of the financial reports

  • Reviews any proposed changes or new Group accounting policies

  • Monitors accounting, statutory reporting and disclosure requirements

  • Reviews the effectiveness of the Group’s risk and internal control management framework

  • Reviews all disclosures prior to release to the market.

Management Declarations

A declaration process, supported by due diligence and verification, is undertaken across the Group for the annual financial statements.

External Auditor

Norman Neill from HLB Mann Judd is Jameson’s external auditor.

The Board is responsible for the initial appointment of the external auditor and the appointment of a new external auditor when any vacancy arises. Any appointment made by the Board must be ratified by Shareholders at the next annual general meeting of the Company.

The Audit and Risk Committee interacts with the external auditor and its responsibilities include consideration of the appointment of the external auditor, approval the remuneration and terms of engagement of the external auditor, monitoring and reviewing the external auditor’s independence, objectivity and effectiveness and developing and implementing policy on the engagement of the external auditor to supply consultancy services, taking into account relevant ethical guidance regarding the provision of consultancy services by the external audit firm.

The external auditor is invited to attend meetings of the Audit and Risk Committee at the invitation of the Audit and Risk Committee, and presents the outcomes of external audits of the Company.

Internal Audit

Jameson does not have an internal audit function. The Board is of the view that it is not cost effective to have an internal audit function at this point in time given the size of the business and the fact that Jameson is in exploration phase and is not a complex

Page 12 of 17

operation. This decision will however be kept under review. The Board will work with management to review the management assurance function, to provide assurance to the Board on the effectiveness of internal controls and to recommend improvements to those controls..

At Jameson we strive to meet the highest standards of corporate practice and business conduct. Accordingly, the Board has adopted Code of Conduct that sets out the conduct expectations for the Board, management and employees of the Company when dealing with each other, shareholders and the broader community.

Jameson’s Values inform the behaviours, leadership attributes and decision-making of all of its directors, management, employees and contractors. They reflect how we work, treat each other and interact with the people and communities around Jameson. These Values are:

Share Trading

Our Securities Trading Policy imposes restrictions on trading in Jameson’s securities by Directors and employees who are in possession of price sensitive information. In addition, closed periods prevent trading by Directors and employees which are 5 business days immediately leading up to and until the close of business on the next business day after:

  • the announcement of Jameson’s Half Yearly, and Annual Report

  • the release of a disclosure document for the offer of securities in the Company containing Inside Information or information that has not been announced to the market under ASX Listing Rule 3

  • the release Quarterly Activities Report

  • the release of a target statement for a takeover offer for securities in the Company or the release of a bidder's statement for the issue of Securities in the Company or a scheme booklet for a merger by way of a scheme of arrangement involving the Securities of the Company.

Anti-Bribery and Corruption

This Policy details the Group’s expectations about promoting high standards of personal integrity and honest, ethical and responsible conduct and promoting behaviour in accordance with our Values. The Policy provides guidance to ensure that there is an understanding of the circumstances that may comprise bribery or corruption.

Whistleblower Protection

Page 13 of 17

Jameson Resources Limited | 2021 Corporate Governance Statement

==> picture [145 x 38] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [177 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

Jameson expects and encourages its people, including contractors, to disclose instances of potential misconduct. We commit to objective evaluation of information received to ensure reasonable basis, controlling the disclosure process and protecting whistleblowers against reprisals.

The Directors decide the total amount paid to each Director as remuneration for their services. Under ASX Listing Rules the total amount paid to all non-executive directors must not exceed in total in any financial year the amount fixed in a general meeting of Jameson. This amount is currently $300,000. Annual Directors’ fees agreed to be paid are $100,000 to the Chairman, Nicole Hollows (inclusive of superannuation) and $45,000 to each NonExecutive Director plus superannuation at the statutory rate.

Non-executive directors may be paid such additional or special remuneration as the Directors decide is appropriate where a Director performs extra work or services which are not in the capacity as a Director of Jameson.

How we remunerate Non-Executive Directors

Principles of non-executive director remuneration outlined in the Non-Executive Director Remuneration Policy include:

  • Remuneration of non-executive directors is predominantly in the form of a base fee, which is inclusive of statutory superannuation.

  • non-executive directors do not participate in performance-based remuneration

  • non-executive directors do not participate in equity schemes

  • non-executive directors do not receive retirement benefits

  • the remuneration of non-executive directors is reviewed annually by Jameson’s Nomination and Remuneration Committee and is determined by the Board taking into account a number of factors including external remuneration benchmarking data, where relevant, advice from external remuneration consultants, responsibilities and time spent on Company business and outcomes of Board performance reviews

  • non-executive directors are entitled to be reimbursed for all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the performance of their duties as a director of Jameson.

For the Managing Director, remuneration comprises total fixed remuneration (TFR), a short-term incentive (STI) and a long term incentive (LTI). Our Remuneration Report provides further detail on the MD’s remuneration.

Total Fixed remuneration (TFR)

The guaranteed remuneration paid to Employees for performing their duties and accountabilities. It comprises base salary plus compulsory superannuation. TFR is targeted at the 50th percentile of the market for on-target performance with the opportunity to earn in excess of this amount under Jameson’s performance based remuneration program.

How we remunerate the Managing Director

Short Term Incentive (STI )

The STI is an at-risk cash payment that recognises outstanding performance of the individual over a twelve-month period. The MD is required to exceed individual performance targets established by the Board to receive the full proportional percentage amount available.

Long Term Incentive (LTI)

The LTI is an at-risk incentive plan that aligns medium and long-term shareholder interests with that of plan participants. Under the LTI plan, the Managing Director may at the Board’s discretion and with approval of Shareholders be granted options, which will only vest on the achievement of certain performance hurdles and service conditions. An offer may be made under the LTI plan to eligible participants each financial year. The objectives of the LTI plan are to:

How we manage risk

==> picture [177 x 353] intentionally omitted <==

Risk Management

The identification and proper management of Jameson’s financial and non-financial risks is a key focus of the Board. Jameson has adopted a Risk Management and Internal Control Policy appropriate for its business. This Policy highlights Jameson’s commitment to designing and implementing systems and methods appropriate to minimise and control its risks.

The Board is responsible for overseeing and approving risk management strategy and policies. The Board has delegated to the Audit and Risk Committee responsibility for:

  • advising and assisting the Board in assessing risk factors and risk mitigation strategies associated with the execution of projects and the implementation of strategy

  • monitoring the internal and external risk environments of the Company

  • reviewing, at least annually, the effectiveness of the Company’s implementation of its Risk Management and Internal Control Policy, and report to the Board on its findings.

The ARC monitors and reviews the implementation and operation of the risk management and internal control policy

Risk Appetite

All enterprise risks are managed within a defined risk appetite which is aligned with Jameson’s strategic objectives. The Board’s risk appetite for its enterprise risks are documented in the Jameson’s Risk Appetite Statement (RAS).

Jameson’s RAS is reviewed, updated and approved annually by the Board. The effectiveness of the risk management system is also reviewed at the same time.

The measurement and reporting of performance against Jameson’s risk appetite is important to the overall purpose of the RAS, which is to express the level and types of risk that Jameson is willing to assume in order to achieve its strategic objectives. The Group’s adherence to the risk appetite is reported on a monthly basis to the Board.

Sustainability Risk Management

Jameson believes it is important to acknowledge the role metallurgical coal, and in turn steel, has in everyday life. We are committed to working with customers and supply chains to achieve lower emissions but steel making coal and steel will continue to play an ongoing and critical role in modern society as an integral ingredient in building infrastructure, cars, buses, trucks, clean energy including wind and solar, houses, appliances and high rise apartments that contribute to the improved quality of life in both developed and developing nations.

Jameson represents the next generation of Canadian steel making coal developers (and ultimately producers) who want to ensure that the metallurgical coal that is extracted for use as a vital ingredient in steel making process is done so in a considered, sustainable manner that places great emphasis on the environmental and social implications of everything that we do.

Sustainability is at the core of our purpose to become an independent growth orientated metallurgical coal developer focused on delivering sustainable outcomes. Our strategic goal is to ensure that Jameson Grows Sustainably with a focus on long term sustainable development – we put the health and safety of our employees and contractors first, we aspire to sustainably manage our environmental impact, foster inclusion and diversity and engage with our local communities to ensure we are a valued long term community partner.

At the local community level, we view and manage sustainability through engagement with stakeholders, being open and transparent about how we operate and will seek to manage our risks to minimise environmental, social and cultural impacts.

We also believe that supporting local communities and First Nations through education and providing opportunities for employment will be valuable as we move closer to construction and production of the Crown Mountain Hard Coking Coal Project.

Environmental Risk Management

We recognise that our environmental performance and management of environment impacts on local communities plays a significant role in social value and being a valued community partner.

How we manage risk (cont.)

Our approach to environmental management in our Environmental Application has been to use a proven science-based approach to identify, quantify and mitigate risks. This approach has included the development of quantitative ungulate and carnivore occupancy models which provide a more comprehensive assessment of the baseline environment so that any potential negative impacts can be identified and mitigated.

The robust approach to identifying and in turn minimising environmental impacts will be applied throughout the lifecycle of the Crown Mountain Hard Coking Coal Project from development and operation through to closure. Our mine closure and biodiversity management plans have included consideration of the Mining Association of Canada Towards Sustainable Mining Framework and the International Council of Mining and Metals protocols to ensure that best practice is being applied to these plans.

Climate Change Risk Management

Furthermore, sustainability includes addressing the challenges and opportunities of climate change and acknowledging the uncertainty that climate change presents. We are committed to partnering with customers and supply chains to achieve lower emissions. Additionally, as progress through the permitting process toward Final Investment Decision is made, continued trade off analysis of potential improvements that may result in reductions in emissions will be considered, including:

  • securing power supply from BC Hydro where ~95% of power comes from Hydro sources

  • using efficient diesel engines when compared with the rapidly evolving electric vehicle and hydrogen fuel cell markets, including the benefits derived from regenerative braking for electric haul trucks that also have the potential to reduce noise and air pollution

  • the use of LNG storage (and regassification) compared with the use of a gas pipeline and the economic and environmental benefits.
