Accordingly, the Directors strongly encourage all Shareholders to lodge Proxy Forms prior to the Meeting. The Company advises that a poll will be conducted for each of the Resolutions.

2.1

Voting in person

To vote in person, attend the Meeting on the date and at the place set out above, subject to further notice from the Company.

Page 6

The Board recognises that the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic raises a risk that legislation or Government directives may prevent the Meeting from being convened in person, or restrict the manner in which the Meeting may be convened. In the event that, in the lead up to the Meeting, it appears likely that restrictions on indoor gatherings will be in effect, the Company will provide an update at least 10 business days before the Meeting, on the manner on which it will convene the meeting. The Board encourages Shareholders to monitor the ASX and the Company's website for any updates in relation to the Meeting that may need to be provided.

2.2 Proxies

(a) Voting by proxy

A Proxy Form is attached to the Notice. This is to be used by Shareholders if they wish to appoint a representative (a 'proxy') to vote in their place. All Shareholders are invited and encouraged to attend the Meeting or, if they are unable to attend in person, sign and return the Proxy Form to the Company in accordance with the instructions thereon. Lodgement of a Proxy Form will not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting at the Meeting in person.

Please note that:

  • (i) a member of the Company entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy;

  • (ii) a proxy need not be a member of the Company; and

  • (iii) a member of the Company entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, but where the proportion or number is not specified, each proxy may exercise half of the votes.

The enclosed Proxy Form provides further details on appointing proxies and lodging Proxy Forms.

Proxy Forms must be received by the Company no later than 10:00am (WST) on 29 May 2022, being at least 48 hours before the Meeting.

(b) Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote

Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does:

  • (i) the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed);

  • (ii) if the proxy has two or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands;

  • (iii) if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • (iv) if the proxy is not the chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

Page 7

(c) Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

  • (i) an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members;

  • (ii) the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting;

  • (iii) at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

  • (iv) either the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting or the proxy does not vote on the resolution,

the chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.

2.3

Chair's voting intentions

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of all Resolutions, unless the Shareholder has expressly indicated a different voting intention.

If the Chair is appointed as your proxy, either by appointment or default, and you have not specified the way the Chair is to vote on Resolution 1 by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chair with an express authorisation for the Chair to exercise the proxy in accordance with the Chair's intention, even though Resolution 1 is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel of the Company.

2.1

Remote attendance via teleconference

If the Company determines that it is necessary for the Meeting to be accessible to all Shareholders via a teleconference, it will provide an update no later than 10 business days before the Meeting.

In such circumstances, the Company will provide the Shareholders who wish to participate in the Meeting remotely with the required details to join the teleconference.

3.

Annual Accounts and Reports

In accordance with section 317 of the Corporations Act, Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to discuss the Annual Report, including the Financial Report, the Directors' Report and the Auditor's Report for the financial year ended 31 December 2021.

There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve the Annual Report.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to:

  • (a) discuss the Annual Report which is available online at - -

  • https://www.loscerros.com.au/site/news/Annual Reports Archive;

  • (b) ask questions about, or comment on, the management of the Company; and

Page 8

  • (c) ask the auditor questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the Auditor's Report.

4.

Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report (non-binding resolution)

The Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 31 December 2021 is set out in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report. By way of summary, the Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration policies and sets out remuneration details for each Director and other Key Management Personnel of the Company.

Shareholders attending the Meeting will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

Under the Corporations Act, a listed entity is required to put to the vote a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted. The vote on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

Of itself, a failure of members to vote in favour of Resolution 1 will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements contemplated by the Remuneration Report. However, the Corporations Act requires that, if a company's remuneration report receives an “against” vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings, a resolution must be put at the later of the two annual general meetings that another meeting of Shareholders be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the Managing Director) who were in office at the date of that resolution must stand for re-election. In summary, members will be entitled to vote on whether a general meeting to re-elect the Board should be held if the Remuneration Report receives "two strikes".

Less than 25% of votes cast at the last Annual General Meeting of the Company were cast against the resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Given the material personal interests of all Directors in this Resolution, the Board makes no recommendation to Shareholders regarding this Resolution.

5. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Ross Ashton as a Director

5.1

General

Pursuant to Article 7.2(b) of the Constitution and Listing Rule 14.5, provides that an entity which has directors must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting.

The Constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.

Mr Ashton, who has served as a Director of the Company since 16 August 2019 and was last re-elected on 23 June 2020, retires by rotation and seeks re-election pursuant to Resolution 2.

If elected, the Board does not consider Mr Ashton to be an independent director.

Page 9

5.2 Bio of Mr Ashton

Mr Ashton was appointed to the Board on 16 August 2019 as part of Los Cerros’ merger with Andes Resources where he also held the role of Chairman. Mr Ashton has over 50 years’ experience as a geologist specialising in mineral exploration and resource development internationally. Mr Ashton was founder of Red Back Mining Limited, a company subsequently acquired by Kinross Gold Corporation for US$7.2 billion in 2010. Mr Ashton was also a director of TSX/ASX listed PMI Gold Ltd and ASX listed Brockman Resources Ltd. Both companies were involved in corporate transactions following the discovery of significant mineral resources.

5.3

Board recommendation

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board, other than Mr Ashton, recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2 for the following reasons:

  • (a) Mr Ashton has a wealth of experience and expertise that is valuable to the Company; and

  • (b) All Directors (excluding Mr Ashton) consider it is in the best interests of the Company.

6. Resolution 3 Approval of 10% Placement Facility

6.1

General

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. Based on the ASX closing price on 22 April 2022 ($0.10 per Share) the Company has a market capitalisation of approximately $64.851 million. The Company is therefore an eligible entity for these purposes.

If on the date of the Meeting, the Company's market capitalisation exceeds $300 million or it has been included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index, this Resolution 3 will be withdrawn.

The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility. The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 6.2(c) below).

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in the Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

Page 10

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the 10% Placement Facility to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company will therefore remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Resolution 3 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

6.2

Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Shareholder approval

The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.

(b) Equity Securities

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.

The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue one quoted class of Equity Securities - Ordinary Shares.

(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

A is the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of the relevant period,

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an exemption in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17,

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

  • the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or

  • the issue of, or agreement of issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4,

Page 11

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

  • the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or

  • the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4,

  • plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4,

  • plus the number of party paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the relevant period,

  • less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the relevant period;

Note that 'A' has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.

D

is 10%.

E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

"relevant period" means:

  • if the entity has been admitted to the official list for 12 months or more, the 12 month period immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement; or

  • if the entity has been admitted to the official list for less than 12 months, the period from the date the entity was admitted to the official list to the date immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement.

(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 6.2(c)).

(e)

Minimum Issue Price

Any Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be issued for a cash consideration per security which is not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

Page 12

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued,

( Minimum Issue Price ).

(f)

10% Placement Period

An approval under Listing Rule 7.1A commences on the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained;

  • (ii) the time and date of the entity’s next annual general meeting; and

  • (iii) the date of Shareholder approval of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

( 10% Placement Period ).

(g) What is the effect of Resolution 3?

The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without further Shareholder approval or without using the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

6.3

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided as follows:

(a) Minimum issue price

Where the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, it will only do so for cash consideration and the issue price will be not less than the Minimum Issue Price (refer to Section 6.2(e) above).

(b) Risk of economic and voting dilution

If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below tables (in the case of Options, only if the Options are converted into Shares). There is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date,

Page 13

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

The below table shows:

  • (iii) the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of the Notice (see note 8 below for further details);

  • (iv) two examples where variable "A" has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable "A" is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue; and

  • (v) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

  • The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro rata rights issue, scrip issued under a takeover offer or upon exercise of convertible securities) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  1. The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

Page 14

  1. No convertible Securities (including any issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised or converted into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

  2. The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  3. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.

  4. The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  5. The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Quoted Options, it is assumed that those Quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  6. The issue price is the current market price ($0.10), being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 22 April 2022, being the last day that the Company's Shares traded on the ASX before this Notice was printed.

  7. Variable A is 648,511,355, being the number of existing Shares on issue as at the date of this Meeting, assuming the Company has not issued any Shares in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with Shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4.
