The directors have fixed February 15, 2024, as the record date (the “ Record Date ”) for the determination of shareholders in the Canadian market entitled to receive notice of the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. For beneficial shareholders, only shareholders of record at the close of business on that date are entitled to vote at the Meeting. In accordance with Colombian corporate law, any registered holder of common shares of record on the Meeting date is entitled to vote the common shares registered in such shareholder’s name on each matter to be acted upon at the Meeting.

A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxyholder to attend and vote in such shareholder’s place by means of, either, the enclosed form of proxy or voting instruction form for shareholders in the Canadian market, or a special power of attorney granted in writing in accordance with articles 184 and 185 of the Colombian Commercial Code and article 23 of Law 222 of 1995 (Colombia), for shareholders in the Colombian market. A form of special power of attorney for use at the Meeting is available to shareholders in the Colombian market on the Company’s website at www.mineros.com.co.

Notice-and-Access

The Company is using the notice-and-access procedure (“ notice-and-access ”) adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators for the delivery of the Circular, the accompanying proxy-related materials, the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, and associated management’s discussion and analysis (collectively, the “ meeting materials ”) to shareholders. Under

2

notice-and-access, shareholders are still entitled to receive a form of proxy or voting instruction form enabling them to vote at the Meeting. However, instead of receiving paper copies of the meeting materials, including the Circular, shareholders receive a notice with information about how to access the Circular electronically. Notice-and-access reduces costs and is more environmentally friendly as it reduces the printing and mailing of documents.

As of March 1, 2024, shareholders will be able to exercise their right to inspect the books and other documents of the Company, as provided in articles 446 and 447 of the Colombian Commercial Code, at the Company’s headquarters at Cra. 43A no. 14-109, NovaTempo Building, 6[th] floor, Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with a prior appointment that must be requested by emailing [email protected] in order to comply with health and safety protocols.
