REQUISITION OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

Dear Shareholder

As announced on 11 May 2018, Kogi Iron Limited (ASX: KFE) ( Kogi or Company ) received a notice from a group of shareholders ( Requisitioning Members ) that held at the time over 5% of votes in Kogi to requisition an extraordinary general meeting ( EGM ) under section 249D of the Corporations Act.

Details of the EGM are outlined in the following Notice of Meeting. We encourage you to read and consider this document carefully, and vote – in person or by proxy – at the EGM, as the items of business requisitioned by the Requisitioning Members have the potential to significantly impact all Kogi shareholders.

As the two directors not directly impacted by the Requisitioning Members' proposed resolutions, we are writing to provide you with important information in respect of the forthcoming EGM.

The Requisitioning Members are asking shareholders to remove three of the five existing directors, being non-executive directors Mr Don Carroll, Mr Michael Tilley and Mr Martin Wood, and to elect in their place, three directors nominated by the Requisitioning Members, namely Mr Phil Ashley, Mr Mal Brandon and Mr John Maclean ( Requisitioning Members’ Nominees ).

While the board is united in its strategy to develop and progress the Agbaja Cast Steel Project, we as the two directors not directly impacted by the Requisitioning Members understand that we have an ongoing responsibility to act in accordance with the interests of all shareholders. Therefore, having given due consideration to the proposed resolutions requisitioned by the Requisitioning Members, we believe it is appropriate to stand aside and not declare a preference for any outcome and therefore leave it to shareholders to determine the composition of the Board going forward.

This does not detract from our intention to continue working in a close and united fashion with the Board to focus on and be thoroughly involved in the ongoing development of the Agbaja Cast Steel Project.

Voting information:

The EGM will be held at 10.00am WST on 2 July 2018 at The Celtic Club, 48 Ord Street, West Perth WA 6005. Further information is set out in this Notice of Meeting.

We look forward to continuing to diligently advance Kogi in the meantime.

Yours sincerely

Dr Ian Burston Non-Executive Chairman KOGI IRON LIMITED

SCHEDULE 3 – STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS PROPOSED TO BE REMOVED

Statement to the members of Kogi Iron Limited (Kogi)

pursuant to section 203D(4) of the Corporations Act

Dear Shareholder

As the three directors directly impacted by the Requisitioning Members' proposed resolutions, we are writing to provide you with important information in respect of the forthcoming EGM.

We recommend that you vote AGAINST Resolutions 1 - 6

In the past 12 months the current Kogi Board has focussed on positioning the Agbaja Cast Steel Project as a low cost domestic producer of iron billet to supply the rapidly growing domestic steel demand of Nigeria. The project has the full support of the government of Nigeria and the community in which it will operate and is the only foreign company to be granted a mining licence. This has allowed the project to demonstrate its potential economic viability to the extent that the project has been able to attract the attention of a number of Export Credit Agencies with a view to contributing to the debt funding of the project.

This success of this strategy is reflected in the recent share price, and has enabled the Company to secure financing for its test work program and continuation of the Definitive Feasibility Study.

Notable achievements are:

1) Substantial increase in the share price of Kogi Iron Limited:

Share Price 18 May 2017 A$0.02 Share Price 18 May 2018 A$0.17 12-month change: +750%

==> picture [455 x 198] intentionally omitted <==

15

2) Successfully raised the capital needed to move the Agbaja Cast Steel Project forward and achieved many notable milestones:

  • 17 September 2017: A$715,000 raised from existing shareholders

  • 17 October 2017: Martin Wood appointed NED. Share price at 17 October 2017 A$0.04

  • • 3 November 2017: Final documentation received granting KCM mining leases over 20 cadastral units over 4 sq miles.

  • 8 December 2017: Bulk sample arrives at Mintek lab to allow commencement of optimisation process to produce cast steel

3) Increased the pace of progress in recent months:

2018 to date - Project Milestones

  • 19 January 2018: Bulk sample at Beneficiation phase of the testwork completed on schedule.

  • 21 February 2018: Completion of metallurgical testwork and associated ore characterisation, crushing, scrubbing and screening of the ore for the production of a suitable concentrate for smelting.

  • 22 March 2018: ASX Smelting Phase successfully completed. Successful production of hot metal iron from the sample prepared during the Beneficiation Phase. The objective of the Smelting Phase was to evaluate the quality of the product with respect to iron extraction, determine the slag characteristics, evaluate the furnace refractory performance and generate pig iron for the Converting Phase.

  • 1 May 2018: Metallurgical and Refining Testwork focused on confirming the reproducibility of these results and to optimize conditions for further refining. The two coal samples from Nigeria were delivered to Torex during April and analysis is now in progress. Haver & Boecker Testwork (Western Australia) including sample identification and selection of ore was completed and the ALS proposal for sample preparation and attrition scrubbing was approved by the Company.

2018 Capital Raisings

  • Larger Investors: 2 February 2018: The Company has accepted from professional and sophisticated investors A$ 2,000,000 before costs at an issue price of 10 cents per share.

  • Smaller Investors: A total of $938,868 was raised from 112 shareholders that participated in a Share Purchase Plan applying for 9,388,680 shares at an issue price of 10 cents per share.

Consultants and Advisers and shareholder communications

16 March 2018: RFC Ambrian mandated as Kogi’s London Broker to raise the significant equity funds required for the construction of the Agbaja Cast Steel Project. RFC has deep relationships with both the resource and infrastructure investment community in the United Kingdom, Europe and Australia.

16

GKB Ventures and SD Capital Advisory Ltd mandated by Kogi to arrange debt funding for the export of capital equipment to Nigeria to construct the Agbaja Cast Steel Project and associated steel forging equipment. GKB Ventures is the leading Export Credit Agency fund arranger in Europe.

April 2018: Website over hauled and relaunched.

It is our belief that the Requisitioning Members’ Nominees do not have the requisite experience to develop or operate mining projects in Nigeria. Furthermore, to be effective, the Requisitioning Members’ Nominees would likely look to pursue a similar strategy already planned by the current Board.

THE CURRENT BOARD HAS A CLEAR PLAN FOR COMMERCIALISATION

The existing Board has outlined – and is executing – a realistic plan for the commercialisation of the Agbaja Cast Steel Project:

  • (a) We are on schedule to complete the current round of optimisation test work being carried out by Tenova and Mintek of South Africa and Torex in Russia.

  • (b) These results will be used to finalise an upgraded project process flow sheet and timetable for financing.

  • (c) This will provide key inputs for the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) and subsequently the EPCM.

  • (d) Based on favourable PFS and EPCM results, the Company will complete the debt and equity project financing required to bring the Agbaja Cast Steel project to production.

THE KOGI BOARD IS CURRENTLY EXECUTING A STRATEGIC TRANSITION TO PRODUCTION

The Board is executing its strategy to fast track commercialisation of the Agbaja Cast Steel Project as planned. This strategy includes adding to management as and when required to include requisite skillsets as the project transitions from explorer to developer, to producer. This is standard practice and should occur in a planned and orderly manner. We do not believe that the proposed new Directors have any relevant skills not already available to Kogi Iron Limited.

Part of the very clear strategy adopted by the Board has involved adding expertise to the Company by engaging specialists in both the debt and equity markets to enhance the chances of financing the Agbaja Cast Steel Project construction costs on competitive terms.

Due to their exceptional skills and contacts in the debt market, SD Capital Advisory Limited and GKB Ventures Limited were engaged in October 2017 as joint finance advisers to assist in the development of debt funding options for the project.

In January 2018, the Company appointed Martin Wood as its Chief Executive Officer. Mr Wood has extensive experience in raising pre-production equity finance and debt based project finance internationally, and has worked extensively in project finance for both UK and African banks to fund various African projects.

This was followed by the appointment of RFC Ambrian (a very reputable finance house in the United Kingdom and Australia) in March 2018 as its broker to provide equity raising advice.

As a result of these initiatives, the project has a clear and demonstrated pathway for raising both the debt and the equity required to develop the project.

17

In conjunction with this, Kogi has been funding a test work program that has been delivering outstanding results that are gradually being recognised by the market in the form of an appreciating share price.

We recommend that you vote AGAINST resolutions 1 to 6.

The Requisitioning Shareholders have provided a statement to shareholders, which has been attached as Schedule 3. We make the following comments:

Governance

The Board has adopted corporate governance policies which are materially consistent with ASX recommendations. Details of the Company’s corporate governance policies are found on its website. The Board is satisfied that it has at all times complied with the Company’s corporate governance policies. In the case of the engagement of Terrain Capital to assist the Company with the Company’s capital raisings, any director with a potential vested interest in the outcome has abstained from voting. The Board notes that Terrain Capital is a reputable company which has undertaken numerous capital raisings for other ASX listed companies over many years.

Corporate Advisers

Kogi has appointed RFC Ambrian, SD Capital and GKB Ventures to assist with its long-term debt and equity raisings. All of these organisations are reputable, well qualified and well suited to assist Kogi source the funding required to bring the Agbaja Cast Steel Project into production. We do not believe the large amount of debt and equity needed to fund this project can be raised in Australia and that is why we have appointed London based advisers to assist. To date, we have had a very good preliminary response to our capital needs.

Goodwill

For reasons mentioned throughout this Notice, we believe that the Company’s goodwill will be maintained whilst the current Board remains in place, but are concerned that it could be compromised if there are wholesale changes to the Board at this pivotal stage in the Company’s development.

As a Shareholder you should be aware that a material risk to your Company’s ongoing success is mismanaging the relationships we have with our host country in Africa. At this pivotal time in our Company’s development it is vitally important to ensure that hard won respect and credibility is not lost. These relationships have been cultivated over an extended period of time and can only be maintained by continuity of management and board.

We believe your current Board is best suited to continue acting in the best interests of all Kogi shareholders and will, in respect to our own shareholdings, be voting AGAINST the resolutions proposed by the Requisitioning Members.

We appreciate that the majority of our Shareholders recognise and value the hard work and efforts of the Board and our dedicated team in Nigeria and look forward to continuing to work with a Board that has the breadth and depth of understanding required to achieve timely success in the complex and dynamic African operating environment.

18

In conclusion, the Executive and Non-Executive Directors have worked exceptionally hard in the last twelve months for the shareholders of Kogi Iron Limited and succeeded in delivering real and measurable increases in the value of the Agbaja Cast Steel project as witnessed by the large improvement of the share price of the last twelve months. As we move into the DFS, project finance and construction phases, the skill sets of the incumbent Directors will become even more essential for the safe delivery of the project and ultimately the maximum benefit of Shareholders. The proposed replacement Directors simply do not have the depth of relevant experience of the incumbent Directors and changing Directors at this point would in our opinion represent a real and material danger to the ongoing progress of the project and the continuing growth of the Kogi Iron Limited share price.

The Company exists for the interests of its Shareholders, and so we urge our Shareholders to vote at the EGM, either in person or by proxy in accordance with the instructions set out in this Notice.

We look forward to continuing to diligently advance Kogi in the meantime.

Yours sincerely

SCHEDULE 4 – REQUISITIONING SHAREHOLDERS’ STATEMENT

Statement to the members of Kogi Iron Limited (Kogi)

pursuant to section 249P of the Corporations Act

The undersigned members, being the registered holders of at least 5% of the votes that may be cast at a general meeting of Kogi (Requisitioning Members), have requested Kogi to convene a general meeting of members to consider resolutions to remove Messrs Don Carroll, Michael Tilley and Martin Wood as directors, and to appoint three new independent directors, Messrs Phil Ashley, Mal Brandon and John Maclean, to fill the casual vacancies.

The Requisitioning Members have requisitioned a general meeting of shareholders pursuant to sections 203D and 249D of the Corporations Act because, as shareholders, the Requisitioning Members have concerns regarding:

  1. Corporate governance.

  2. Corporate advisors.

  3. Preservation of goodwill.

Corporate governance

Kogi engaged Terrain Capital Limited (Terrain Capital) to advise and assist Kogi with its recent equity raisings. According to the Terrain Capital website, Mr Tilley, a non-executive director of Kogi, is the Founder and Chairman of Terrain Capital, while Mr Carroll, a non-executive director of Kogi, is a Consultant of Terrain Capital.

In late January 2018, Terrain Capital advised and assisted Kogi with its equity raising by way of a placement of fully paid ordinary shares to professional and sophisticated investors (Placement). The Requisitioning Members understand that the Placement was made to clients of Terrain Capital in preference to existing shareholders of Kogi.

On 12 February 2018, Arina Management Pty Limited ATF the Arina Management Super Fund (one of the Requestioning Members) wrote to Kogi (Arina letter) to raise a number of concerns regarding the Placement, including that:

  1. The Placement was made to clients of Terrain Capital in preference to the existing shareholders of Kogi, thereby diluting the interests of existing shareholders of Kogi.

  2. Messrs Tilley and Carroll may have a conflict of interest arising from their positions with Terrain Capital.

In summary, the Requisitioning Members are concerned that Messrs Tilley and Carroll may have a conflict of interest arising from their respective positions with Terrain Capital and that Kogi appears to have undertaken the Placement to clients of Terrain Capital in preference to existing Kogi shareholders.

Corporate advisors

The recent success of bulk sampling test work suggests that Kogi is poised to achieve something remarkable. At this critical stage, Kogi should be enjoying strong support from the share market – in the view of the Requisitioning Members, it is not. The Requisitioning Members are concerned with Kogi’s decision to engage Terrain Capital to advise on its capital raisings, rather than an independent advisory firm. The Requisitioning Members believe that Kogi must engage an independent top-tier advisory firm with a broad retail and corporate client base to assist Kogi to raise all necessary project debt and equity, while enhancing support in the share market. A highly regarded advisor in Australia would provide coherent professional advice to the board of Kogi and develop a properly considered capital funding program. Such program is essential if Kogi is to build confidence in the share market.

The Requisitioning members consider the appointment of a London based Chief Executive Officer and advisory firm was unnecessary.

In summary, Kogi needs to be seen in the market as having a clear and consistent project funding plan. It should not be raising capital on a ‘piecemeal’ basis. A new independent corporate advisor is essential.

Preservation of goodwill

Kogi’s Agbaja iron ore project in Nigeria has been over 10 years in the making. Your Chairman, Ian Burston, and Nigerian based director, Kevin Joseph have worked tirelessly to develop what may well be a “world class opportunity” for Kogi shareholders.

The Requisitioning Members understand that much of Kogi’s work in Nigeria has been focussed on developing the relationships necessary to preserve control of Kogi’s exploration licenses and, more recently, to secure the necessary mining licenses. This has required Mr Joseph to liaise on a daily basis with Nigerian land owners and a range of federal government authorities. The Requisitioning Members understand that Mr Burston, whilst based in Australia, has travelled to Nigeria on several occasions to support Mr Joseph in building and maintaining those key relationships. It is essential to maintain the goodwill which the Requisitioning Members understand Messrs Burston and Joseph have developed in Nigeria over many years.

Further, Kogi’s current bulk sample testing is due to be completed in the next few months. If the testing proves successful, the potential ore reserves at the Agbaja project are expected to be extremely valuable.

Kogi’s goodwill and potential ore reserves must be carefully preserved. It is imperative that Messrs Burston and Joseph have the support of a strong independent board. The Requisitioning Members believe that the proposed changes to the composition of the board will ensure that Kogi has a united board driven to achieve a common purpose.

The Requisitioning Members are of the view that Messrs Ashley, Brandon and Maclean are the best candidates to ensure that Kogi delivers the highest possible standards of corporate governance and maximises its potential upcoming opportunities in respect of the Agbaja project.

21

In summary, the proposed changes to the composition of the board will ensure that Kogi possesses the highest standards of corporate governance and ensure the development of a properly considered corporate finance strategy to maximise the opportunities presented by the Agbaja project for the benefit of all shareholders.
