Past performance and risks

The operating and historical financial information given in this presentation is given for illustrative purposes only and is not (and should not be relied upon as) an indication of the Company's views on its future performance or condition. You should note that past performance of the MLG Group cannot be relied upon as an indicator of (and provides no guidance as to) future MLG Group performance.

The future performance of the MLG Group is subject to number of risks, some of which are specific to the MLG Group and some of which are more general in nature. Many of the circumstances giving rise to these risks, and the occurrence of consequences associated with each of these risks, are either wholly or partly outside the control of MLG, and its directors and senior management.

Future performance and forward-looking statements

This presentation contains forward-looking statements about the MLG Group including (among other things) the Company's strategy for continued growth.

Any statements contained in this presentation that are not of historical facts may be forward-looking statements. Such statements can be identified by words such as "aim", "anticipate", "assume", "believe", "could", "due", "estimate", "expect", "goal", "intend", "may", "objective", "plan", "predict", "potential", "positioned", "should", "target", "will", "would" and other similar expressions that are predictions of or indicate future events and future trends.

Forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the Company's business and the industry in which the Company operates and the beliefs and assumptions of the Company's directors and management. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or development and, by their nature, involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control (refer to the "Risks" section of the Prospectus for further information). These factors may include, but are not limited to, the risk of termination or expiry of MLG's key contractual relationships with its clients, the recruitment and retention of key personnel, occupational health and safety risks inherent in the mining industry, changes to the regulatory framework within which MLG operates or may in the future operate and any inability for MLG to service its clients (or a decrease in demand for MLG's services from those clients) due to the continuation or escalation of the COVID-19 pandemic, or the outbreak of any other disease or pandemic. Any such forward-looking statements, opinions and estimates provided in this presentation are also based on assumptions and contingencies which are subject to change without notice, and which may ultimately prove to be materially incorrect, as are statements about market and industry trends, which are based on interpretations of current market conditions. Prospective investors should consider the forward-looking statements in this presentation in light of those disclosures and not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements (particularly in light of the current economic climate and the significant volatility, disruption and ongoing uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic). Forward-looking statements including projections, guidance on future earnings and cost estimates, and guidance on industry trends, are provided as a general guide only and should not be relied upon as an indication or guarantee of future performance and may involve significant elements of subjective judgement and assumptions as to future events that may not be correct. The Company does not give any assurance that the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation will actually occur.

The forward-looking statements in this presentation are given only as at the date of this presentation. The Limited Parties disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any statement in this document, including any forward-looking statement, to reflect new information or future events or otherwise.

Non-IFRS financial information

This presentation contains financial information that is "non-IFRS financial information" under ASIC Regulatory Guide 230 "Disclosing non-IFRS financial information". The non-IFRS financial information includes pro forma financial information, including MLG's historical Earnings before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) figures. Any such financial information has not been prepared in accordance with all applicable accounting standards and accounting interpretations. The non-IRFS financial information in this presentation does not have a standardised meaning prescribed by the Australian International Financial Reporting Standards (or AIFRS) and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other entities, nor should they be construed as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with AIFRS. Readers are cautioned, therefore, not to place undue reliance on any non-IFRS financial information included in this presentation. Acknowledgement

Contract structure summary

==> picture [83 x 38] intentionally omitted <==

MLG’s contracts are typically based on a volume or hourly rate metric – MLG builds in contractual flexibility to cater to each client

Overview of MLG’s contract structuring methodology

  • MLG’s service contracts are based on a broad framework which is tailored to address the specific needs of the client’s project

  • Clients are typically billed based on a schedule of rates

  • Rates are calculated based on a volume driver, such as tonnage, kilometres, or a number of hours worked (and in some cases a combination of these)

  • When contracting with clients, MLG takes a conservative approach in line with the Company’s risk management principles. In particular MLG:

  • Does not enter into ‘take-or-pay’ contract structures;

  • Does not retain any minimum volume obligations; and

  • Does not have any commercial obligation for the actual production volumes processed by its clients.

MLG contract structure build up

==> picture [442 x 223] intentionally omitted <==

Typical billing methodology[1]

Service Billing Methodology (all clients are invoiced in Australian dollars)
Construction Materials per tonne based on kms and tonnage
Civil Works per hour
Site Haulage per tonne based on kms and tonnage
Site Services per hour
Mobilise and Demobilisation Fixed Rates
Crushing and Screening per tonne (in Fortescue’s case with minimum throughput)
Bulk Haulage per tonne based on kms and tonnage
Export Logistics fee and handling charges per tonne and per TEU

1 Given MLG’s contracts are bespoke, specific sites and services may vary from the typical billing methodology provided. Information should be used as a guide only.

15

High quality customer base

MLG’s customer base comprises high quality clients who operate low-cost, long-life mining operations – providing resilience against commodity price volatility

Ingrained safety culture

==> picture [83 x 38] intentionally omitted <==

MLG’s focus on delivering superior safety performance is a key selling point to new customers and workforce personnel

Proactive health and safety

Robust industry dynamics driving growth from existing clients with growing demand for greater ore movements

==> picture [960 x 114] intentionally omitted <==

MLG is leveraged to the trends of consolidation, optimisation and declining ore grades

Exposure to key thematics

Key themes

  • WA gold producers creating ‘hubs’ around existing milling infrastructure and commonly able to target deposits within 100km of their existing milling infrastructure

  • Mineral deposits that lack sufficient scale to justify standalone milling infrastructure be unlocked by transporting to mills nearby

  • Recent M&A trend of gold producers acquiring smaller bolt-on deposits or other production centres within trucking distance to their existing milling infrastructure

  • As producers grow and bolt in additional deposits and production centres, able to blend and optimise between processing facilities (eg Northern Star in Kalgoorlie and Yandal regions post Saracen merger, with multiple milling sites)

  • As the numbers of hubs expand, and smaller deposits are bolted into the hubs, operations require new infrastructure such as roads and more complex logistics

  • Both Australian gold and iron ore miners also face declining grades, requiring greater crushing capacity and bulk tonnage earth and ore movement

“The Merged Group will have an unprecedented footprint in the Western Australian goldfields, providing 24Mtpa of processing capacity with a substantial network of haul roads to enable ore to be directed to the best mill to lower unit costs and improve metallurgical recoveries and maximise margins. The Merger will unlock several regional deposits that were previously mill constrained, that are within 100km of the Merged Group’s processing infrastructure.”

Further contract wins

  • Utilise differentiated business capability to provide multiple support services into one delivery framework

  • Consolidate MLG’s position as a critical component of the client’s operations and the production supply chain

1 Bolt-on acquisition opportunities • Complementary potential acquisition opportunities have been identified by MLG, which would broaden MLG’s service offering and geographical reach 4

Expanded service offering

  • MLGs growth to date has been driven by the ability to offer a range of capabilities within the production process through one delivery model

  • Seek to further enhance and expand this service offering to provide MLG with a potential competitive advantage in future tender processes 2 Commodity market diversification

  • • MLG’s current client base operate predominantly low-cost gold, nickel, and iron ore operations

  • • Seek further exposure to new commodities to provide further portfolio diversification and exposure to long-life assets

  • • More diverse commodity exposure will provide opportunities to increase project pipeline 5

Pursuit of strategic assets

  • Continued pursuit of strategic assets (such as quarries) near long-life assets with the aim of creating a competitive advantage

  • Quarries established to date have provided a competitive advantage in unlocking further contract expansion within the existing client base

  • 3

  • Australia-wide operations

  • • Significant potential opportunity to expand the scope of MLG’s offering to mining and non-mining clients and operations across Australia

  • • MLG will actively pursue selective and complementary opportunities 6
