CHAIRMAN’S ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING STATEMENT

In the many decades that I have spent in senior board positions in listed and public companies, and in different countries, I can recall no shareholder vote that has stunned me more than the outcome of today’s voting on resolution 5, the appointment of Melissa North. When Melissa joined our Board on 14 March this year, I paid personal tribute to her skills and experience, and her in-depth knowledge of our business. She is a hard-working, dedicated and highly competent individual, and as our CFO played an important role in preparing us for our successful listing on the ASX, when around us other industry players were stumbling. Since that time her role has grown, and she is without question a key member of our 2-person company.

At the time of her appointment, one of our largest shareholders sent their congratulations. Today, that same shareholder cast their vote against her appointment.

The enquiries that Priyank, Melissa and I have made of a number of our largest shareholders show extensive evidence that the shareholders who made and make the investment decisions (and who have benefited from the strong financial performance of our company above our listing promises) are separated from these voting decisions. Those decisions are taken in corporate governance departments, which often in turn delegate the voting decision to a mindless “box-ticking” exercise by an external “Proxy Advisor” which has little if any understanding of the underlying business.

I do not know how Melissa will react to today’s vote of no confidence in her as a Board member. In my experience, directors in that position give very serious consideration to resigning. Were she to do that, we would at a stroke lose one half of the staff that run our business. We have no backup waiting in the wings to take her position. I have no idea how she will react to this affront, and I shall surely use my best efforts to dissuade her from any such extreme action. But the folly of the mindless “box-tickers” could hardly be better illustrated.

I have one further remark to make on board membership. Shareholders will be aware the AMCI organisation and associates recently acquired a substantial number of shares in Jupiter, so to become one of our largest shareholders. We have received from them a request for board membership, and specifically for the appointment of Mr Hans Mende, a very experienced international businessman, and will be known to many of you. He is particularly knowledgeable about the global steel and coal industries, and about Australia and South Africa. Mr Mende would be joined by Mr Brian Beem to act as his alternate at times when he might not be able to be present in person. The legal requirements with which compliance is required is underway, and when that is complete, I shall recommend to the Jupiter Board that they consider and if deemed appropriate, agree to the appointment of the two gentlemen.

Yours sincerely

Brian Gilbertson Chairman Jupiter Mines Limited
