Voting and attendance information

Shareholders should read the Notice including the Explanatory Memorandum carefully before deciding how to vote on the Resolutions.

2.1

Impact of COVID-19 on the Meeting

The health and safety of members and personnel, and other stakeholders, is the highest priority and the Company is acutely aware of the current circumstances resulting from COVID19.

Based on the best information available to the Board at the time of the Notice, the Board considers it will be in a position to hold an 'in-person' meeting to provide Shareholders with a reasonable opportunity to participate in and vote at the Meeting, while complying with the COVID-19 restrictions regarding gatherings. The Company, however, strongly encourages Shareholders to submit proxies prior to the Meeting.

If the situation in relation to COVID-19 were to change in a way that affects the position above, the Company will provide a further update ahead of the Meeting by releasing an announcement on the ASX market announcements platform.

Page 4

2.2 Voting in person

Given the current COVID-19 circumstances and in the interests of public health and safety of our Shareholders, the Company will implement arrangements to allow Shareholders to physically attend the Meeting in accordance with COVID-19 protocols and government advice.

The Company will strictly comply with applicable limitations on indoor gatherings in force at the time of the Meeting. If you attend the Meeting in person, you will be required to adhere to COVID-19 protocols in place at the time of the Meeting.

2.3

Voting by proxy

Shareholders are encouraged to vote by completing a Proxy Form.

Lodgement of a Proxy Form will not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting at the Meeting in person.

Lodgement instructions (which include the ability to lodge proxies electronically) are set out in the Proxy Form to the Notice of Meeting.

2.4

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 and you have not specified the way the Chair is to vote on any of the Resolutions by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chair with an express authorisation for the Chair to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chair's intention, even if the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel of the Company.

3. Annual Report

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 30 June 2020.

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.metalhawk.com.au/ or on the ASX platform for "MHK" at www.asx.com.au;

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

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

In addition to taking questions at the Meeting, written questions to the Chair about the management of the Company, or to the Company's auditor about:

Page 5

  • (d) the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit,

may be submitted no later than five business days before the Meeting to the Company Secretary at the Company's registered office.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company's Financial Report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so.

4. Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report

In accordance with subsection 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and nonexecutive Directors.

In accordance with subsection 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

If the Company's Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more ( Strike ) at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board, except the managing director (if any).

Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director, if any) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.

This is the Company's first annual general meeting since it has been admitted to the official list of the ASX on Tuesday, 17 November 2020. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at the 2021 annual general meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.

The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.

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 Director – Mr Brett Lambert

5.1

General

Article 7.6(a) of the Constitution allows the Board to appoint at any time a person to be a Director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.

Pursuant to Article 7.3 of the Constitution, any Director so appointed holds office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company but is eligible for election by Shareholders at that meeting.

In addition, Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a Director appointed as an addition to the Board must not hold office (without re-election) past the next annual general meeting.

On 3 July 2019, Mr Brett Lambert was appointed as Non-Executive Chairman of the Company.

Under article 7.6(d) of the Constitution, a Managing Director nominated by the Directors under article 9.1(d) is not required to stand for re-election under article 7.6(c). Mr William Belbin has been nominated by the Directors as Managing Director and is therefore not required to stand for re-election.

Accordingly pursuant to Resolution 2, Mr Brett Lambert resigns as a Director at the Meeting and, being eligible, seeks approval to be elected as a Director.

5.2 Mr Brett Lambert

Mr Lambert is a mining engineer from the WA School of Mines with over 30 years’ experience in the resources industry. Mr Lambert has held senior management positions with Western Mining Corporation, Herald Resources Limited, Western Metals Limited, AIC Mines Limited (formerly Intrepid Mines Limited), Ora Gold Limited (formerly Thundelarra Exploration Limited) and Bullabulling Gold Limited. Mr Lambert has a wide range of experience from exploration through to mine development and operations. He is currently the Non-Executive Chairman of Saturn Metals Limited and Mincor Resources NL as well as Non-Executive Director of Australian Potash Ltd.

Mr Lambert has acknowledged to the Company he will have sufficient time to fulfil his responsibilities as a Non-Executive Director.

5.3 Board recommendation

Resolution 2 is an ordinary Resolution.

The Board (other than Mr Lambert) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2 for the following reasons:

  • (a) Mr Lambert has the necessary level of experience; and

  • (b) Mr Lambert has an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the Company and its business, and his continuing role as a member of the Board will benefit the Company.
