Explanatory Memorandum

1. Introduction

This Explanatory Memorandum is provided to shareholders Magmatic Resources Limited ACN 615 598 322 ( MAG or Company ) to explain the resolutions to be put to Shareholders at the General Meeting to be held at Level 2, 22 Mount Street, Perth WA 6000 on 23 April 2024 commencing at 10.30am AWST.

The Directors recommend Shareholders read the accompanying Notice of Meeting and this Explanatory Memorandum in full before making any decision in relation to the resolutions.

Subject to the abstentions noted below, the Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of all Resolutions. The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of each resolution.

Terms used in this Explanatory Memorandum are defined in Section 4.

2. Resolutions 1 and 2: Ratification of prior issue of shares under the Placement (Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A)

2.1 General

On the 11 March 2024, the Company issued a total of 75,946,151 Shares under a Placement to FMG Resources Pty Ltd ( Placement ). The Company issued 45,376,871 Shares without prior Shareholder approval out of its 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 30,569,280 Shares without prior Shareholder approval out of its 10% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A on 11 March 2024.

Resolutions 1 and 2 seeks Shareholder approval and ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the prior issue of the 75,946,151 Shares pursuant to the Placement.

2.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4

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. Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at is annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company sought and obtained such approval at its previous annual general meetings on 28 November 2023.

The Placement does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, effectively uses up the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and its 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, reducing Magmatic’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A for the 12 month period following the Placement Share Issue Date.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under that rule. The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A. To this end, Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder approval for the Placement under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the issue of 45,376,871 Shares pursuant to the Placement will be excluded in calculating Magmatic’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, and the issue of 30,569,280 Shares pursuant to the Placement will be excluded in calculating Magmatic’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Placement Share Issue Date.

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the issue of 45,376,871 Shares pursuant to the Placement will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and the issue of 30,569,280 Shares pursuant to the Placement will be included in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue

without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Placement Share Issue Date.
