1 Under Listing Rule 4.7.3, an entity must lodge with ASX a completed Appendix 4G at the same time as it lodges its annual report with ASX. Listing Rule 4.10.3 requires an entity that is included in the official list as an ASX Listing to include in its annual report either a corporate governance statement that meets the requirements of that rule or the URL of the page on its website where such a statement is located. The corporate governance statement must disclose the extent to which the entity has followed the recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council during the reporting period. If the entity has not followed a recommendation for any part of the reporting period, its corporate governance statement must separately identify that recommendation and the period during which it was not followed and state its reasons for not following the recommendation and what (if any) alternative governance practices it adopted in lieu of the recommendation during that period.

Under Listing Rule 4.7.4, if an entity chooses to include its corporate governance statement on its website rather than in its annual report, it must lodge a copy of the corporate governance statement with ASX at the same time as it lodges its annual report with ASX. The corporate governance statement must be current as at the effective date specified in that statement for the purposes of rule 4.10.3.

2 “Corporate governance statement” is defined in Listing Rule 19.12 to mean the statement referred to in Listing Rule 4.10.3 which discloses the extent to which an entity has followed the recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council during a particular reporting period.

3 Mark whichever option is correct and then complete the page number(s) of the annual report, or the URL of the web page, where the entity’s corporate governance statement can be found. You can, if you wish, delete the option which is not applicable.

MOHO RESOURCES LTD CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

This Corporate Governance Statement is current as at 29 September 2020 and has been approved by the Board of the Company on that date.

The Board is committed to complying with the principles of best practice in corporate governance and intends and has adopted a Corporate Governance Plan to ensure that the Company will be able to comply with as many of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations ( Recommendations ), as the Board considers practicable taking into account the size of the Company and its stage of development.

The Board will aim to conduct the Company’s affairs in accordance with the Recommendations to the extent that it is applicable to an entity of the size and structure of the Company. Due to the current size and nature of the existing Board and the magnitude of the Company’s operations, the Board does not consider that the Company will gain any benefit from individual Board committees and that its resources would be better utilized in other areas as the Board is of a strong view that at this stage the experience and skill set of the current Board is sufficient to perform these roles. Under the Company’s board Charter, the duties that would ordinarily be assigned to individual committees are currently carried out by the full Board under the written terms of reference for those committees.

1. Lay solid foundations for management and oversight: A listed entity should establish and disclose the respective roles and responsibilities of its board and management and how their performance is monitored and evaluated.

The Board is responsible for evaluating and setting the strategic direction for the Company, establishing goals for management and monitoring the achievement of these goals.

The principal functions and the responsibilities of the Board include but are not limited to the following;

• Determining in conjunction with management, corporate strategy, objectives, operations, plans and approving and appropriately monitoring plans, investments, major capital and operating expenditure and acquisitions;

• Monitoring actual performance against budget expectations;

• Identifying areas of significant business risk and ensure the Company is appropriately position to manage those risks;

• Overseeing the management of safety, WHS and environmental issues;

• Satisfying itself there are appropriate reporting systems and controls in place;

• Authorising the issue of any shares, options, equity instruments within the constraints of the ASX Listing Rules and Corporations Act; and

• Monitoring the performance of senior management, including ensuring appropriate resources are available and strategy is being implemented.

• The Board has adopted Charters on Audit and Risk and Renumeration and Nomination but at this time the full board will undertake the roles of each committee.

The directors may at an appropriate time implement a performance management system and further develop the roles and responsibilities as they are understood in greater detail. If the Company’s activities increase, in size, scope and nature, the appointment of separate committees will be reviewed by the Board and implemented if appropriate.

Recommendation	Adopted (Yes/No)	Reason
Recommendation 1.1	Yes	The Company has adopted a Board Charter that sets out the specific roles and responsibilities of the Board, the Chair and management. Given the size of the Company all matters are undertaken by the Board. A copy of the Company’s Board Charter, which is part of the Company’s Corporate Governance Plan, is available onthe Company’swebsite.

Recommendation 1.2	Yes	The Company has adopted a Nomination Committee Charter dealing, allows the Board, to ensure the appropriate checks are undertaken before appointing a person or putting forward a candidate to security holders for election as a Director. Furthermore, the Nomination Committee Charter requires all material information relevant to a decision on whether or not to elect or re-elect a Director must be provided to security holders in the notice of meeting containing the resolution to elect or re-elect a Director.
Recommendation 1.3	Yes	The Company’s Nomination Committee Charter requires the Nomination Committee to ensure that each Director and senior executive is a party to a written agreement with the Company which sets out the terms of that Director’s or senior executive’s appointment. The Company has entered formal engagement agreement with the Directors and senior executives setting out their roles and responsibilities and basis of remuneration.
Recommendation 1.4	Yes	The Board Charter outlines the roles, responsibility and accountability of the Company Secretary. In accordance with this, the Company Secretary is accountable directly to the Board, through the Chair, on all matters to do with the proper functioning of the Board.
Recommendation 1.5	No	The Company has adopted a Diversity Policy which provides a framework for the Company to establish and achieve measurable diversity objectives, including in respect of gender diversity. The Diversity Policy is available, as part of the Corporate Governance Plan, on the Company’s website. The Board does not presently intend to set measurable gender diversity objectives because: (a) the Board does not anticipate there will be a need to appoint any new Directors or senior executives due to limited nature of the Company’s existing and proposed activities and the Board’s view that the existing Directors and senior executives have sufficient skill and experience to carry out the Company’s plans; and (b) if it becomes necessary to appoint any new Directors or senior executives, the Board considered the application of a proportion of women on the Board and in senior executive roles will, given the small size of the Company and the Board, unduly limit the Company from applying the Diversity Policy as a whole and the Company’s policy of appointing based on skills and merits. As at the date of this Statement the Board consists of all men.
Recommendation 1.6:	No	The Company has adopted a Nomination Committee Charter. The functions are currently undertaken by the Board as awhole and canbe donewiththe aid ofan

		independent advisor. The Company’s Corporate Governance Plan requires the Company to disclose whether or not performance evaluations were conducted during the relevant reporting period. The Company did not undertake performance evaluations of the Board during the financial year.
Recommendation 1.7	No	The Company’s Nomination Committee is responsible for evaluating the performance of the Company’s senior executives on an annual basis. The Company’s Remuneration Committee is responsible for evaluating the remuneration of the Company’s senior executives on an annual basis. The functions of both the Nomination Committee and Remuneration Committee are currently undertaken by the Board as a whole. The Company’s Corporate Governance Plan requires the Company to disclose whether or not performance evaluations were conducted during the relevant reporting period. The Company did not undertake performance evaluations of the Board during the financial year.

2. Structure the board to add value: A listed entity should have a board of an appropriate size, composition, skills and commitment to enable it to discharge its duties effectively.

The current board structure, skill and commitment is suitable for a start-up mining and exploration company. The Company undertakes comprehensive reference checks prior to appointing a director or putting a person forward as a candidate. This ensures the candidate is competent, experienced and would in no way impair their ability to undertake their duty as a director.

The Board is responsible for the nomination and selection of directors. The Board reviews the size and composition of the Board at least once a year as part of the Board evaluation process. Generally, a list of potential candidates is identified based on skills required, geographic location and diversity criteria.

Recommendation	Adopted (Yes/No)	Reason
Recommendation 2.1	No	The Board has adopted a Charter in respect of Nomination and Renumeration, however given the size of the Company the Company does not have a committee because the Board considers the Company will not currently benefit from its establishment. In accordance with the Board Charter, the Board will undertake the role of the committee outlined in the Charter. All skills and experience of directors are disclosed to shareholders.
Recommendation 2.2	No	Under the Nomination Committee Charter (in the Company’s Corporate Governance Plan), the Nomination Committee (or, in its absence, the Board) is required to prepare a Board skill matrix setting out the mix of skills and diversity that the Board currently has (or is looking to achieve) and to review this at least annually against the Company’s Board skills matrix to ensure the appropriate mix of skills and expertise is

		present to facilitate successful strategic direction. The Company has determined that a skills matrix is not necessary given the current size and scope of the Company’s operations. Instead, the Board as a whole regularly reviews the collective skills of the Board, with the Board proposing candidates for directorships having regard to the desired skills and experience required by the Company as well as the proposed candidates’ diversity of background. The Board may adopt such a matrix at a later time as the Company’s operations grow and evolve.
Recommendation 2.3	Yes	The Board Charter requires the disclosure of the names of Directors considered by the board to be independent. The company will disclose those Directors it considers to be independent in its Annual Report and on its ASX website. The Board considers the following Directors independent: 1. Terry Streeter. 2. Adrian Larking The Company will disclose in its Annual Report and ASX website any instances where this applies and an explanation of the Board’s opinion why the relevant Directors is still considered to be independent. The Company’s Annual Report will disclose the length of service of each Director, as at the end of each financial year.

The directors as a group are responsible for the risk management of the Company. The Board is committed to the identification, assessment and management of risk throughout the Company’s activities. As the Company is still in its early stages, the level of risk processes in place to mitigate any risk and the management of any such issues remain a work in progress.

The board requires management to design and implement a risk management and internal compliance and control system to manage the Company’s material business risks.

The Company’s process of risk management and internal compliance and control is focused on;

• Formulating risk management strategies;

• Identifying and measuring risks that impact upon the achievement of the Company’s direction and objectives; and

• Monitoring the business environment for emerging factors and trends that affect those risks.

The Company has adopted a Charter in respect of Audit and Risks however as the Company currently has 4 directors, establishing a separate risk committee at this stage would not be feasible. Senior management and the Board are aware of the risks as disclosed in the Company’s Prospectus and will continue to develop and implement a risk management framework.

Recommendation	Adopted (Yes/No)	Reason
Recommendation 7.1	No	The Board has adopted a Charter in respect of Audit and Risks, contained in the Company’s Corporate Governance Plan. The Company has not established a Audit and Risk Committee as the Board considers that the Company is not currently of a size, nor are its affairs of such complexity to justify having a separate risk committee.

Recommendation 7.2	Yes	The Audit and Risk Committee Charter requires that the Audit and Risk Committee (or, in its absence, the Board) should, at least annually, satisfy itself that the Company’s risk management framework continues to be sound.

Arrangements put in place by the Board to monitor risk management include, but are not limited to: (a) monthly reporting to the Board in respect of operations and the financial position of the Company; and (b) regular rolling forecasts prepared.
Recommendation 7.3	No	The Board has not yet formed an internal audit function as it considers that this is not currently feasible given the size of the Company and the relatively small management and employee team. The Audit and Risk committee Charter provides for the Audit and Risk Committee to monitor the need for an internal audit function. As set out in Recommendation 7.1, the Board is responsible for overseeing the establishment and implementation of the Audit and Risk Committee. The Board reviews and monitors the parameters under which risks will be managed. Management accounts will be prepared and reviewed with the Company Secretary at subsequent Board meetings. Budgets are prepared and compared against actual results.

As the Company further increases its activity, the remuneration of the directors and senior managers will be assessed by the Board as a whole, due to the size of the Board and the Company a remuneration committee at this point in time is unnecessary, as it will not add value to the independence of any decisions. The Board has adopted a Nomination and Remuneration Charter.

Recommendation	Adopted (Yes/No)	Reason
Recommendation 8.1	No	The Company does not have a Remuneration Committee. The Board has adopted a Corporate Governance Plan containing a Remuneration Committee Charter that provides for the creation of a Remuneration Committee (if it is considered it will benefit the Company), with at least three (3) members, a majority of whom must be independent Directors, and which must be chaired by an independent Director.
