BOARD STATEMENT

The following statement is provided by the Board in response to the meeting request made by the Requisitioning Shareholder.

Dear fellow Shareholders

On 22 December 2022, your Board received a notice under section 203D of the Corporations Act ( Act ) from Oceltip Coal 1 Pty Ltd (a company associated with Mr Nathan Tinkler) ( Requestioning Shareholder ) indicating its intention to remove 3 of your 4 current Directors, namely Ms Nicole Hollows, Mr Michael Gray and Mr Steve van Barneveld, from the Board.

On 23 December 2022, the Requisitioning Shareholder delivered a further notice to the Board under section 249D of the Act ( Requisition Notice ), requesting the Board to convene a general meeting of shareholders to consider the 5 resolutions set out in the Notice of Meeting ( Board Replacement Resolutions ), in respect of which you are being asked to vote.

Mr Joel Nicholls, a current Board member, was not included in either the section 203D notice or the Requisition Notice by the Requisitioning Shareholder.

What do the Board Replacement Resolutions seek to do?

If passed, the cumulative effect of the Board Replacement Resolutions would be to remove 3 of your Company’s 4 current directors and replace them with Mr Tinkler and Mr Peter White (who has been nominated by the Requisitioning Shareholder to be appointed as a director), despite the Requisitioning Shareholder having only been a Shareholder of the Company since November 2022, and the Requisitioning Shareholder holding voting power of only 11.06% in the Company at the time of the Requisition Notice.[1]

Board Recommendation

Having considered the request of the Requisitioning Shareholder, your Board strongly believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and all shareholders that shareholders VOTE AGAINST the resolutions to be put to shareholders at the Meeting. This is the unanimous recommendation of the Board, and your Directors will be voting all the Shares they hold AGAINST all resolutions.

The Board advises shareholders to consider that shareholder requisition notices to convene general meetings (such as that delivered by the Requisitioning Shareholder) contribute to additional corporate costs, requiring the Company to incur registry, legal and administrative costs. Not only has the delivery of the Requisition Notice caused disruption and distraction to the Company and its resources, but the Board Replacement Resolutions, if passed, will not be in the best interests of the Company. Your Board does not support the Board Replacement Resolutions.

Why is the Requisitioning Shareholder proposing the Board Replacement Resolutions?

As at the date of this Notice, the Requisitioning Shareholder has not provided a statement under section 249P of the Corporations Act setting out its reasons for seeking to remove 3 of the 4 current Jameson Directors as well as reasons for wanting Mr Tinkler and Mr White to be appointed to the Board. If a statement under section 249P of the Corporations Act is received by the Company from the Requisitioning Shareholder, the Company will provide this to Shareholders in the same way as this Notice has been provided.

Although a section 249P statement has not been provided, based on prior discussions with Mr Tinkler, the Board understands that the Requisitioning Shareholder has proposed the Board Replacement Resolutions because your Board would not give in to his demands to be paid, what the Board believes to be, an unreasonable fee for introducing the Company to a potential acquisition transaction ( Potential Transaction ) and Mr Tinkler, undertaking personally, a limited amount of due diligence on the Potential Transaction before presenting it to the Company. (see ‘What is your Board currently doing regarding the Potential Transaction? ’ below for further details of the Potential Transaction).

1 As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Requisitioning Shareholder, together with its associate, has agreed to subscribe for further shares in the Company on or about 1 February 2023, which is expected to take its voting power to approximately 19.9% as at 1 February 2023.

Page 1 of 23

Jameson Resources Limited | Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

==> picture [61 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

The Company made an offer to Mr Tinkler to pay him a reasonable fee associated with the introduction and the work he personally undertook on the Potential Transaction, before presenting it to the Company. Following this, Mr Tinkler issued the section 203D Notice and a Requisition Notice requiring your Board to call an Extraordinary General Meeting at which resolutions to remove 3 of the 4 current directors and appoint Mr Tinkler and Mr White as directors are to be considered.

Who are the Proposed Directors?

Mr Nathan Tinkler

Mr Peter White

( Proposed Directors )

In accordance with Recommendation 1.2 of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations ( ASX Principles ), it is best practice to provide information on the good fame and character of candidates standing for election as directors of the Company. The Company has requested from the Requisitioning Shareholder criminal history checks for the Proposed Directors. If this information is provided, the Company will update ASX with this information. The Company has undertaken bankruptcy checks and disqualified director checks for Mr Tinkler and Mr White. These are summarised against their profiles below.

Mr Tinkler has past experience with development of coal mines in Queensland and NSW and in this regard, there is substantial information in the public domain regarding Mr Tinkler, which Shareholders may wish to review, in order to better understand his background and previous experience. Further, given connections between the Requisitioning Shareholder and Mr Tinkler, it appears likely to adversely affect the prospect of independent perspectives to be brought to bear regarding issues falling for consideration at Board level. Independence: Mr Tinkler through his associated entities, Oceltip Coal 1 Pty Ltd and Oceltip Coal 2 Pty Ltd, currently holds 11.06% of the Shares in the Company and those companies have entered into a Placement Agreement with the Company to increase that shareholding to approximately Mr Nathan Tinkler 19.9% on or about 1 February 2023. Bankruptcy Search: Mr Tinkler was subject to a bankruptcy sequestration order on 9 February 2016 and discharged from bankruptcy on 12 April 2018. Disqualified and Banned Director Search: Mr Tinkler was banned and disqualified from being a director by ASIC from 18 May 2017 to 18 February 2021. Criminal History Search: Requested from the Requisitioning Shareholder but not provided as at the date of this Notice. The Requisitioning Shareholder has not provided any information on Mr Peter White’s background, skills and experience and we are unable to provide it to shareholders. No results were returned from Mr Peter White the bankruptcy search and disqualified and banned director search. The Company has requested criminal history checks from the Requisitioning Shareholder but this has not yet been provided.

What is your Board currently doing regarding the Potential Transaction?

The Company is currently undertaking due diligence for the Potential Transaction, which may include an associated capital raising and debt facilities. The Potential Transaction involves the potential acquisition of an operating coal mine producing premium hard coking coal.

At this stage, the discussions regarding the Potential Transaction are preliminary only and highly conditional and the Company is only in the very early stages of conducting its due diligence. There is no assurance that any transaction will eventuate. Any agreed transaction would require, amongst other things, satisfactory due diligence outcomes, Board approvals and the negotiation and execution of an Acquisition Agreement. The implementation of the Acquisition Agreement would then also be subject to various conditions including regulatory and shareholder approvals.

Page 2 of 23

Jameson Resources Limited | Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

==> picture [61 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

The Company will advise the market as to the outcome of these discussions as necessary in accordance with its continuous disclosure obligations.

Potential consequences of the Board Replacement Resolutions

Depending on the outcome of the Board Replacement Resolutions, there are certain potential consequences that the Board wishes to bring to your attention.

In relation to Resolutions 1 to 5, if the result of those resolutions means that less than 3 directors remain on the Board, the Company will be in breach of the Corporations Act and the Company’s constitution as it will not have 3 validly appointed directors.

If that occurs, there is no guarantee that the Company would be able to identify replacement directors with suitable skills and experience who would be willing to accept appointment. The Company cannot progress any ordinary business (including the Potential Transaction) until such appointment is made.

What would the future look like if the Board Replacement Resolutions are successful?

We think that, as the owners of this Company, you deserve a board that has the skills including a commitment to strong governance and ASX experience, to progress the Crown Mountain Hard Coking Coal Project in British Columbia and look at other investment opportunities for metallurgical coal in Australia and Canada where such investments meet the Board’s value and return criteria. You also deserve a Board that is independent and represents the interests of ALL Shareholders.

The Requisitioning Shareholder has not provided the Company with any detail in respect of the knowledge, skill, experience, fitness and propriety, suitability, or competency of the Proposed Directors to act as directors of the Company or collectively as a Board. As such, if the Requisitioning Shareholder is successful in passing the Board Replacement Resolutions, the ability of the Proposed Directors to effectively discharge their duties, or to provide value to the Company is uncertain. Further, the Requisitioning Shareholder has not provided the Company or shareholders with any guidance as to the Proposed Directors’ intentions for the Company or any explanation for why the appointment of the Proposed Directors is in the best interest of the Company. As such, if the Board Replacement Resolutions are passed, the future of the Company is uncertain.

The only current Jameson Director not proposed for removal by the Requisitioning Shareholder is Mr Joel Nicholls. While Mr Nicholls remains in full support of the current Board and its strategy, he has advised the Company that, should the Board Replacement Resolutions be approved and the Proposed Directors gain effective control of the Board and responsibility for direction of the Company, Mr Nicholls cannot in good conscience continue as a Director of the Company and will promptly resign as a Director.

Why vote AGAINST the removal of Nicole Hollows, Michael Gray and Steve van Barneveld as Directors

The current Jameson Directors have collectively, over 100 years of experience, in the resources industry including in the development and operation of coal mines. A summary of the skills and experience of the 3 Directors subject to a vote to have them removed as Directors is set out below:

Ms Nicole Hollows: Ms Hollows was first appointed as a Director on 20 March 2020, elected as a Director by shareholders on 19 November 2020 and re-elected by shareholders on 28 November 2022.

Ms Hollows has over 20 years’ experience in the resources sector and has been responsible for exploration, evaluation, financing, development and operations of steelmaking coal mines. Her experience spans operational management, strategy, mine development, accounting and finance, mergers and acquisitions, risk management and corporate governance. Ms Hollows’ previous roles include Chief Executive Officer/Managing Director of Macarthur Coal Limited (acquired by Peabody Energy in late 2011), Managing Director of AMCI Australia and Southeast Asia, and Chief Executive Officer of Sunwater Limited. Whilst Ms Hollows was at Macarthur Coal Limited and associated entities, she participated as either the Chief Financial Officer or Chief Executive Officer in developing, funding and operating of three Bowen Basin metallurgical coal mines, being Coppabella, Moorvale and Middlemount.

Ms Hollows is a Non-Executive Director of Chief Executive Women, of Downer EDI Limited and Qube Holdings Limited. She was previously a member of the Salvation Army Queensland Advisory Council.

Jameson Resources Limited | Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

==> picture [61 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

Mr Michael Gray: Mr Gray was appointed as Managing Director of the Company on 1 March 2021.

Mr Gray is an experienced resources executive with over 30 years’ experience in resources and infrastructure development. Mr Gray’s experience in permitting, capital markets, financing (including development and implementation of product marketing and customer development), stakeholder engagement, and mine construction and operations bode well for Jameson’s strategy of becoming an independent, growth oriented steelmaking coal developer focused on delivering sustainable outcomes. Mr Gray was the Chief Executive Officer responsible for the successful development and operations of the Middlemount Coal Project that was acquired by Peabody as part of their acquisition of Macarthur Coal and more recently has provided consulting advice within the resource industry including involvement in the development of the Bluff PCI project in Central Queensland and the successful acquisition of the Colton Coal Project.

Mr Steve van Barneveld: Mr van Barneveld was appointed as a Director on 21 February 2014 and last re-elected by Shareholders on 19 November 2020.

Mr van Barneveld has over 30 years’ experience in the mining services sector, a significant portion of which has been spent with Sedgman Pty Limited, a leading international designer and builder of coal handling and processing plants. Mr van Barneveld, commencing as a process engineer, has held senior executive positions within Sedgman, overseeing a period of significant growth and international expansion. He has extensive experience in asset development, design, construction, and operations management.

For all of the above reasons, the Board of Jameson Resources Limited recommends that all Shareholders vote, and your Directors will be voting all the Shares they hold, AGAINST all 5 Resolutions.
