Dear Norwest Shareholder,

SHARES FORMERLY HELD BY YOU IN NORWEST ENERGY NL – INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLAIMING CONSIDERATION

We refer to the off-market takeover offer by Mineral Resources Limited (ACN 118 549 910) ( MinRes ) for all the shares in Norwest Energy NL (ACN 078 301 505) ( Norwest ), which closed at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on Saturday, 29 April 2023 ( Offer ).

On 2 May 2023, MinRes announced that, in accordance with section 661A of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), it would compulsorily acquire those remaining Norwest shares which it did not own at the end of the Offer period and sent to you by post a copy of ASIC Form 6021 – Notice of Compulsory Acquisition Following Takeover Bid setting out the compulsory acquisition process for your Norwest shares and your rights ( Notice ).

In accordance with the Notice, MinRes has now completed the compulsory acquisition of your Norwest shares. MinRes has been registered as the holder of those Norwest shares and has provided to Norwest the consideration shares (being one fully paid ordinary MinRes share for every 1300 Norwest shares held), which you are now entitled to claim in respect of your previous holding of Norwest shares.

Norwest is now holding that consideration on trust for you, pending receipt of directions from you as to how to deal with it. We have enclosed a Claim Form – Compulsory Acquisition ( Claim Form ) for the purpose of claiming the total consideration due to you.

Please complete and sign the Claim Form and return it (with any accompanying documents that the Claim Form instructs you to provide) as soon as possible to MinRes’ share registry, Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited ( Computershare ).

When the Claim Form is returned, the consideration will be transferred to you and a holding statement will be sent to you at the address specified at the top of your Claim Form. If you are a Foreign Shareholder or a Small Parcel Shareholder (as defined in MinRes' Bidder’s Statement dated 16 December 2022 (as varied or supplemented)), a cheque for the net cash proceeds of the sale of your MinRes shares will be sent to that address instead.

If your address has changed or you would like the holding statement or cheque (as applicable) to be forwarded to another address, please provide certified copies of supporting documents such as a driver's licence, council rates notices or utility statements that show your new address and your former address as recorded on Norwest’s register.

Please note that if you do not instruct Norwest as to how it should deal with your consideration before 1 March 2025 , your unclaimed consideration will be transferred to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission ( ASIC ) and ASIC will hold the consideration in an unclaimed money account.

We strongly encourage you to complete and return the Claim Form and claim your consideration as soon as possible.

If you have any questions or require further information, please contact Computershare on 1300 916 995 (calling from within Australia) and +61 3 9415 4653 (calling from outside Australia).
