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://www.ktaresources.com/corporate-governance/ website:

The Corporate Governance Statement is accurate and up to date as at 30 September 2021 and has been approved by the board.

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

Date: 30 September 2021 Name of authorised officer Colin Locke 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.

Corporate Government Statement

This Corporate Government Statement is current as at 30 September 2021 and has been approved by the Board of the Company on that date.

This Corporate Government Statement discloses the extent to which the Company has followed the recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council in its publication Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations – 4[th] Edition ( Recommendations ). The Recommendations are not mandatory, however, the Recommendations that will not be followed have been identified and reasons provided for not following them along with what (if any) alternative governance practices the Company intends to adopt in lieu of the recommendation.

The Company has adopted a Board Charter and Corporate Governance Plan ( Board Charter ) which provides the written terms of reference for the Company's corporate governance duties.

Due to the current size and nature of the existing Board and the magnitude of the Company's operations, the Board does not consider that the Company will gain any benefit from individual Board committees and that its resources would be better utilised in other areas as the Board is of the strong view that at this stage the experience and skill set of the current Board is sufficient to perform these roles. Under the Company's Board Charter, the duties that would ordinarily be assigned to individual committees are currently carried out by the full Board under the written terms of reference for those committees.

The Board Charter is available on the Company's website.

exposure to environmental or social risks and, if
it does, put in place management systems,
practices and procedures to manage those
risks.
Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly
Recommendation 8.1
The Board of a listed entity should:
(a) have a remuneration committee
which:
(i)
has at least three members, a
majority of whom are
independent Directors; and
(ii)
is chaired by an independent
Director,
and disclose:
(iii) the charter of the committee;
(iv) the members of the
committee; and
(v)
as at the end of each reporting
period, the number of times
the committee met throughout
the period and the individual
attendances of the members
at those meetings; or
(b) if it does not have a remuneration
committee, disclosure that fact and
the processes it employs for setting
the level and composition or
remuneration for Directors and
senior executives and ensuring that
such remuneration is appropriate
and not excessive.
Partially (a) The Company does not presently have a
Remuneration Committee. The Company's
Remuneration and Nomination Committee
Charter provides for the creation of a
Remuneration and Nomination Committee
(if it is considered it will benefit the
Company), with at least three members, a
majority of whom are to be independent
Directors, and which must be chaired by an
independent Director.
(b) The Company does not presently have a
Remuneration Committee as the Board
considers the Company will not currently
benefit from its establishment. In
accordance with the Company's Board
Charter, due to the size and nature of the
Company, the Board performs the role of
the Remuneration Committee. When the
Board convenes as the Remuneration
Committee, it carries out the duties that
would ordinarily be carried out by the
Remuneration Committee as identified in
the Company's Remuneration and
Nomination Committee Charter. This
includes the processes to set the level and
composition of remuneration for Directors
and senior executives and ensuring that
such remuneration is appropriate and not
excessive. The Board will devote time at
the annual Board meeting to assess the
level and composition of remuneration for
Directors and senior executives.
