Notice of annual general meeting (continued)

Notes to the Notice of the Annual General Meeting

  1. A member entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting is also entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on a poll instead of him. A proxy may demand, or join in demanding, a poll. A proxy need not be a member of the Company.

  2. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude shareholders from attending or voting at the Meeting, if they so wish. If you have appointed a proxy and attend the Meeting in person, your proxy appointment will automatically be terminated.

  3. To be effective, the form of proxy must be received at the office of Link Asset Services, PXS1, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, BR3 4ZF, or to Computershare Investor Services (Pty) Limited at their registered office at Rosebank Towers, 15 Biermann Avenue, Rosebank, 2196 or PO Box 61051, Marshalltown, 2107, no later than 11 am (UK time) on Tuesday, 4 December 2018, or if the Meeting is adjourned no later than 11 am (UK time) on the day 48 hours prior to the adjourned Meeting, together, if appropriate, with the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or a notarial certified copy of such power or, where the proxy form has been signed by an officer on behalf of a corporation, a notarial certified copy of the authority under which it is signed.

  4. In the case of a joint holding, a proxy need only be signed by one joint holder. If more than one such joint holder lodges a proxy only that of the holder first on the register of members will be counted. Any alternations made to this proxy should be initialled.

  5. To change your proxy instructions simply submit a new proxy appointment using the methods set out above. Note that the cut-off time for receipt of proxy appointments (see above) also applies in relation to amended instructions; any amended proxy appointment received after the relevant cut-off time will be disregarded.

  6. Where you have appointed a proxy using the hard copy proxy form and would like to change the instructions using another hard copy proxy form, please contact Link Asset Services, PXS1, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, BR3 4ZF, or Computershare Investor Services (Pty) Limited at their registered office at Rosebank Towers, 15 Biermann Avenue, Rosebank, 2196 or PO Box 61051, Marshalltown, 2107.

  7. If you submit more than one valid proxy appointment, the appointment received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence.

  8. In order to revoke a proxy instruction, you will need to inform the Registrar by sending a signed hard copy notice clearly stating your intention to revoke your proxy appointment as above. In the case of a member that is a company, the revocation notice must be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by an officer of the Company or an attorney for the Company. Any power of attorney or any other authority under which the revocation notice is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with the revocation notice.

  9. The revocation notice must be received by Link Asset Services, PXS1, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, BR3 4ZF, or Computershare Investor Services (Pty) Limited no later than 11 am (UK time) on Tuesday, 4 December 2018. If you attempt to revoke your proxy appointment but the revocation is received after the time specified then, subject to the paragraph directly below, your proxy appointment will remain valid.

  10. In the case of a corporation this proxy must be given under its common seal or be signed on its behalf by an attorney or officer duly authorised.

  11. Any power of attorney or any other authority under which this proxy form is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with the form of proxy.

  12. Pursuant to Regulation 41 of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001, the time by which a person must be entered on the register of members in order to have the right to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting at close of business (UK time) on Tuesday, 4 December 2018, (being not more than 48 hours prior to the time fixed for the Meeting) or, if the Meeting is adjourned, such time being not more than 48 hours prior to the time fixed for the adjourned Meeting. Changes to entries on the register of members after that time will be disregarded in determining the right of any person to attend or vote at the Meeting.

  13. If you are a dematerialised Shareholder and are not an own name dematerialised Shareholder then you must instruct your Central Securities Depository Participant ("CSDP") or broker as to how you wish to cast your vote at the Annual General Meeting in order for them to vote in accordance with your instructions. If you wish to attend the Annual General Meeting in person, please request your CSDP or broker to issue the necessary letter of representation to you. This must be done in terms of the agreement entered into between the dematerialised Shareholder (who is not an own name dematerialised Shareholder) and the CSDP or broker.

  14. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST proxy appointment service may do so for the Meeting (and any adjournment thereof) by following the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members (and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider) should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider, who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.

Jubilee Metals — Annual Report 2018


Notice of annual general meeting (continued)

In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made by means of CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a "CREST Proxy Instruction") must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited's ("Euroclear") specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message (regardless of whether it relates to the appointment of a proxy or to an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy) must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by Link Market Services Limited, RA10, by 11 am (UK time) on Tuesday, 4 December 2018. On Tuesday, 4 December 2018 for this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which Link Market Services Limited is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.

CREST members (and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers) should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider, to procure that his CREST sponsor or voting service provider takes) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members (and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers) are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual (available at www.euroclear.com/CREST) concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.

The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001 (as amended).

  1. As at 6:00 pm (UK time) on 13 November 2018 the Company's issued share capital comprised 1 310 992 791 ordinary shares of 1 p each. Each ordinary share carries the right to one vote at a general meeting of the Company and, therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company as at 6:00 pm (UK time) on Tuesday, 13 November 2018 was 1 310 992 791.

  2. A statement or summary of transactions of directors (and their family interests) in the share capital of the Company and copies of their service contracts will be available for inspection at the Company's registered office during normal business hours (Weekends and public holidays excepted) from the date of this notice until the conclusion of the AGM and will also be available for inspection at the place of the AGM for at least 15 minutes prior to and during the Meeting.
