should have and disclose a board
charter setting out:
(a)
The
respective
roles
and
responsibilities of its board and
management; and
(b) Those matters expressly reserved
to the board and those delegated to
management.
Yes The role of the Board is to provide overall strategic guidance and effective oversight of management. As the Board
acts on behalf of and is accountable to shareholders, the Board seeks to identify and meet the expectations of
shareholders, as well as other regulatory and ethical expectations and obligations. In addition, the Board is
responsible for identifying areas of significant business risk and ensuring arrangements are in place to adequately
manage those risks. The Board seeks to discharge these responsibilities in a number of ways.
The responsibility for the operation and administration of the Company is delegated by the Board to the executive
directors and the key management team. The Board ensures that this team is appropriately qualified and experienced
to discharge their responsibilities and has in place procedures to assess the performance of the executive directors
and the key management team.
A copy of the Company’s Board Charter is available in the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s website.
The Board Charter lists the specific responsibilities the Board has reserved for itself, in addition to those expressly
required under law.
Recommendation 1.2: A listed entity
should:
(a)
undertake appropriate checks
before appointing a director or
senior executive or putting
someone forward for election as
a director; and
(b)

elect or re-elect a director.
Yes Before appointing a new director, or a senior executive, the Company undertakes appropriate checks such as
character references, police clearance certificates, bankruptcy checks or any other checks it deems appropriate.
Where a director is to be re-elected or a candidate is put up for election to shareholders, all material information is
provided to shareholders for consideration.

ASX Recommendation Comply
(Yes/No)
Explanation
Recommendation 1.3: A listed entity
should have a written agreement
with
each
director
and
senior
executive setting out the terms of
their appointment.
Yes The Company has entered into letters of appointment with directors and senior executives. These contracts ensure
that directors and senior executives have a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities and of the
Company’s expectations of them.
Recommendation 1.4: The company
secretary of a listed entity should be
accountable directly to the board,
through the chair, on all matters to do
with the functioning of the board.
Yes The Company Secretary is appointed and removed by, and is accountable directly to, the Board.
The Company Secretary has access to all Board members and the main functions of the role are to assist in advising
the Board on governance matters and monitoring compliance with board and committee procedures. The role of the
Company Secretary is further summarised in the Company’s Board Charter, which is available on the Company’s
website.
Recommendation 1.5: A listed entity
should:
(a)
have and disclose a diversity
policy;
(b)
through
its
board
or
a
committee of the board set
measurable
objectives
for
achieving gender diversity in the
composition of its board, senior
executives
and
workforce
generally; and
(c)
disclose in relation to each
reporting period:
No The Company is committed to actively manage diversity as a means of enhancing the Company’s performance and
maximising its corporate goals by recognising the contributions of diverse skills and talent from its employees.
Diversity includes, but is not limited to, gender, age, ethnicity and cultural background.
All decisions relating to employees is based strictly on merit, without regard to gender, ethnicity, age, relationship
status or any other irrelevant factor not applicable to the position.
It is the Board’s responsibility and objective to embrace diversity when determining the composition of the Board,
senior management and employees. This allows the Company to draw on a variety of qualifications, skills, experience
and diversity of gender to maximise the Company’s performance.
The Board intends to set measurable objectives for achieving diversity, specifically including gender diversity and will
review and report on the effectiveness and relevance of these measurable objectives. However, due to the current
size of the Board and management, these measurable objectives have not yet been set.

ASX Recommendation Comply
(Yes/No)
Explanation
(1)
the measurable objectives
set for that period to
achieve gender diversity;
(2)
the
entity’s
progress
towards
achieving
those
objectives; and
(3)
either:
(A)
the
respective
proportions of men
and women on the
board,
in
senior
executive
positions
and across the whole
workforce
(including
how the entity has
defined
“senior
executive” for these
purposes); or
(B)
if the entity is a
“relevant
employer”
under the Workplace
Gender Equality Act,
the
entity’s
most
recent
“Gender
Equality Indicators”, as
defined
in
and
published under that
Act.
Gender Diversity
The Board acknowledges the absence of female participation on the Board of Directors. The Board has determined
that the composition of the current Board represents the best mix of Directors that have an appropriate range of
qualifications and expertise, can understand and competently deal with current and emerging business issues and can
effectively review and challenge the performance of management.
Whilst the Board of the Company strongly endorses the concept of gender diversity, until the Company’s human
resource base has grown to a point where fully implementing specific measurable objectives will become more
meaningful, the Company will, in accordance with its policy, continue to recruit the best person for each role,
regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, relationship status or any other irrelevant factor not applicable to the position.
The Company is a not a ‘relevant employer’ under the_Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012_.

disclose for each reporting

Committee) and the Nomination Committee Charter is available on the Company’s website.
Procedures include an internal Board performance assessment, an induction protocol and ongoing discussions with

ASX Recommendation Comply
(Yes/No)
Explanation
PRINCIPLE 2: STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO BE EFFECTIVE AND ADD VALUE
Recommendation 2.1: The board of a
listed entity should:
(a) have a nomination committee
which:
1) has at least three members, a
majority
of
whom
are
independent directors, and
2) is chaired by an independent
director,
and disclose:
3) the charter of the committee;
4) the
members
of
the
committee; and
5) as at the end of the reporting
period, the number of times
the
committee
met
throughout the period and the
individual attendances of the
members at those meetings;
or
No The Board has not established a separate Nomination Committee. Given the current size and composition of the
Board, the Board believes that there would be no efficiencies gained by establishing a separate Nomination
Committee at this time. Accordingly, the Board performs the role of the Nomination Committee.
The Board did not officially convene as a Nomination or Remuneration Committee since incorporation in December
2020, however nomination and remuneration related discussions occurred from time to time during the year, as
required, as part of normal Board meetings.
The Company’s objective is to have an appropriate mix of expertise and experience on the Board, and where
appropriate its committees, so that the Board can effectively discharge its corporate governance and oversight
responsibilities.
A copy of the Nomination Committee Charter is available on the Company’s website.

ASX Recommendation Comply
(Yes/No)
Explanation
(b) if it does not have a nomination
committee, disclose that fact and
the processes it employs to
address board succession issues
and to ensure that the board has
the appropriate balance of skills
knowledge,
experience,
independence and diversity to
enable it to discharge its duties
and responsibilities effectively.
Recommendation 2.2: A listed entity
should have and disclose a board
skills matrix setting out the mix of
skills that the board currently has or
is
looking
to
achieve
in
its
membership.
Yes The Company recognises the importance of having an appropriate mix of expertise and experience on its Board and
Committees to enable it to effectively discharge its corporate governance and oversight responsibilities. The Board
accordingly seeks to achieve a balance in its structure that best reflects the needs of the Company at any particular
time.
The Board considers the current mix of skills and experience of members of the Board and its senior management is
sufficient to meet the requirements of the Company.
Future appointments to the Board will be dependent on candidates demonstrating an appropriate breadth of
experience in a field of expertise that is relevant to the ongoing supervision of the Company’s affairs. This diversity
of experience may include a commercial, technical, legal, corporate finance, business development or other
background as the Board and management determine as part of its selection processes.
Although the skills, experience and expertise of each Director is set out in the Directors’ Report section of the
Company’s Annual Report, the Company does not have a formal board skills matrix.

by senior management and approved by the Board prior to release to the market.
All announcements indicate the relevant approver of market releases.

Recommendation Comply
(Yes/No)
Explanation
Recommendation 6.2:A listed entity
should have an investor relations
program that facilitates effective
two-way
communication
with
investors.
Yes The Company has a Shareholders Communications Policy to facilitate effective two-way communication with
investors. The Company recognises the importance of its relationships with investors and analysts. The Managing
Director is the primary contact for communicating with the investment community.
Recommendation 6.3:A listed entity
should disclose how it facilitates and
encourages participation at meetings
of security holders.
Yes The Board encourages the attendance of shareholders at the Company’s shareholders’ meetings and sets the time
and place of each shareholders’ meeting in advance to allow maximum opportunity for attendance by shareholders.
The Company provides information in the notice of meeting that is presented in a clear, concise and effective manner.
Shareholders are provided the opportunity at general meetings to ask questions in relation to each resolution before

should ensure that all substantive
resolutions at a meeting of security
holders are decided by a poll rather

the entity and its security registry

(Yes/No)
Explanation
PRINCIPLE 7: RECOGNISE AND MANAGE RISK
Recommendation 7.1:The board of
a listed entity should:
(a)
have
a
committee
or
committees to oversee risk, each
of which:
(1)
has at least three members,
a majority of whom are
independent directors; and
(2)
is
chaired
by
an
independent director,
and disclose:
(3)
the
charter
of
the
committee;
(4)
the
members
of
the
committee; and
(5)
as at the end of each
reporting
period,
the
number
of
times
the
committee met throughout
the
period
and
the
individual attendances of
the members at those
meetings; or
No Due to the size and scale of the Company, during the year the Board has not established a sub-committee to undertake
the responsibilities normally undertaken by a Risk Committee. The full Board performs the function of the Risk
Committee. The Board considers that at this stage, no efficiencies or other benefits would be gained by establishing
a separate Risk Committee.
The Board, and therefore the Risk Committee, comprises 4 members of which 3 are independent. The Board is chaired
by an independent director.
The Board is responsible for ensuring that risks, as well as opportunities, are identified on a timely basis and receive
an appropriate and measured response, recognising however that no cost effective internal control system will
preclude all errors and irregularities. Areas of significant business risk and the effectiveness of internal controls are
monitored and reviewed regularly.
The Board did not officially convene as a Risk Committee since its inception in December 2020, however risk related
discussions occurred from time to time during the year as required at part of normal Board discussions.
A copy of the Risk Committee Charter is available on the Company’s website.

Recommendation Comply
(Yes/No)
Explanation
(b) if it does not have a risk
committee or committees that
satisfy (a) above, disclose that
fact and the processes it
employs for overseeing the
entity’s
risk
management
framework.
Recommendation 7.2:The board or
a committee of the board should:
(a)
review
the
entity’s
risk
management framework at least
annually to satisfy itself that it
continues to be sound and that
the entity is operating with due
regard to the risk appetite set by
the board; and
(b) disclose, in relation to each
reporting period, whether such a
review has taken place.
Yes The Board and senior management review and identify risks to the Company and its assets on an ongoing basis as per
the Audit and Risk Committee Charter. The risks identified are monitored on a continual basis and preventative
measures are implemented as and when deemed necessary.
The Board is satisfied that the risk management framework continues to be sound and confirms that the Company
will continue the enhancement of its risk management framework development and monitoring procedures.
Recommendation 7.3:A listed entity
should disclose:
(a)
if it has an internal audit
function, how the function is
structured and what role it
performs; or
Yes The Company does not currently have an internal audit function. The Board recognises that no cost effective internal
control system will preclude all errors and irregularities. The Company’s risk management and internal control system
is based upon written procedures, policies and guidelines, an organisational structure that provides an appropriate
division of responsibility, and the selection and training of qualified service providers and personnel.
The Company policies are designed to ensure strategic, operational, legal, reputation and financial risks are identified,
assessed, effectively and efficiently managed and monitored to enable achievement of the Company’s business
objectives.

Recommendation Comply
(Yes/No)
Explanation
(b)
if it does not have an internal
audit function, that fact and the
processes
it
employs
for
evaluating
and
continually
improving the effectiveness of
its
governance,
risk
management
and
internal
control processes.
A number of the Company’s activities are also undertaken by external consultants, given the Company’s size and level
of current activities, coupled with the cost benefit this currently provides the Company.
Recommendation 7.4:A listed entity
should disclose whether it has any
material exposure to environmental
or social risks and, if it does, how it
manages or intends to manage those
risks.
Yes The Company’s corporate ethics includes a strong focus on environmental responsibility. This approach is integral to
ensuring the long-term sustainability of the Company’s mining and exploration operations. An Environmental, Social
and Governance Policy has been established to ensure the Company’s field operations comply with permits and
licenses, and have minimal impact on the surrounding environments.
An important key to the Company’s current and future success is open communications with all stakeholders. The
Company acknowledges its responsibility towards all stakeholders, including local communities.
The Company has also assessed its exposure to economic risks as high on the basis that it has no material income and
is reliant on the potential exploration success to raise capital to fund exploration and operating costs and plans. This
risk is managed by regularly reviewing future cashflow requirements to ensure that fundraising is performed in a
timely manner and that the Company remains in a position to pay its debts as and when they fall due.
A copy of the Company’s policies on risk oversight and management of material business risks is publicly available on
the Company’s website under the heading Risk Management Policy.
PRINCIPLE 8: REMUNERATE FAIRLY AND RESPONSIBLY
Recommendation 8.1:The board of a
listed entity should:
No The Board has not established a separate Remuneration Committee. Given the current size and composition of the
Company, the Board believes that there would be no efficiencies gained by establishing a separate Remuneration
Committee. Accordingly, the Board performs the role of Remuneration Committee.

The full Board approves all management remuneration including the allocation of options (if any) and involves itself
in the nomination, selection and retirement of Directors. No Director may be involved in setting their own
remuneration or terms and conditions and in such a case relevant Directors are required to be absent from the full
Board discussion.
The Board seeks to ensure that collectively its membership represents an appropriate balance between Directors with
experience and knowledge of the Company and Directors with an external or fresh perspective. The Board reviews
the range of expertise of its members on a regular basis and seeks to ensure that it has operational and technical
expertise relevant to the operation of the Company. Directors are re-elected, nominated and appointed to the Board
in accordance with the Board’s policy on these matters set out in the Remuneration Committee Charter, the
Company’s Constitution and ASX Listing Rules.
The Company’s remuneration philosophy, objectives and arrangements are detailed in the Remuneration Report
which forms part of the Directors’ Report in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report (lodged separately with the ASX).

Recommendation Comply
(Yes/No)
Explanation
(b)
if
it
does
not
have
a
remuneration
committee,
disclose that fact and the
processes it employs for setting
the level and composition of
remuneration for directors and
senior executives and ensuring
that
such
remuneration
is
appropriate and not excessive.
Recommendation 8.2: A listed entity
should separately disclose its policies
and
practices
regarding
the
remuneration
of
non-executive
directors and the remuneration of
executive directors and other senior
executives.
Yes The Company's policy is to remunerate Non-Executive Directors at a fixed fee for time, commitment and
responsibilities. Remuneration for Non-Executive Directors is not linked to individual performance. The maximum
aggregate amount of fees (including superannuation payments) that can be paid to Non-Executive Directors is subject
to approval by shareholders. There are no termination or retirement benefits for Non-Executive Directors other than
for superannuation entitlements. From time to time the Company may permit Non-Executives to participate in equity-
based remuneration plans.
Executive remuneration consists of a base salary and in some instances, performance incentives. Long term
performance incentives may include options, performance rights or other equity-based schemes granted at the
discretion of the Board subject to obtaining the relevant approvals. Equity-based plans are designed to recognise and
reward efforts as well as to provide additional incentive to continue those efforts for the benefit of the Company, and
may be subject to the successful completion of performance hurdles. Executives are offered a competitive level of
base pay at market rates (for comparable companies), which are reviewed at least annually to ensure market
competitiveness.
Details of remuneration, including the Company’s policy on remuneration, are contained in the Remuneration Report
which forms part of the Directors’ Report in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report (lodged separately with the ASX).
Recommendation 8.3: A listed entity
which
has
an
equity-based
remuneration scheme should:
Yes Under the Company’s Security Trading Policy, Key Management Personnel, which the Company has determined to be
Directors, Executives and those employees directly reporting to the Managing Director, are prohibited from entering
into transactions or arrangements which limit the economic risk of participating in unvested entitlements under any
equity-based remuneration scheme.

Our corporate governance statement[1] for the period above can be found at:[2]

These pages of our annual report: This URL on our www.mtmalcolm.com.au website:

The Corporate Governance Statement is accurate and up to date as at 28 September 2021 and has been approved by the board.

The annexure includes a key to where our corporate governance disclosures can be located.[3]

Date: 28 September 2021 Name of authorised officer Henko Vos (Company Secretary) authorising lodgement:

1 “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.

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 Listing Rule 4.10.3.

Under Listing Rule 4.7.3, an entity must also lodge with ASX a completed Appendix 4G at the same time as it lodges its annual report with ASX. The Appendix 4G serves a dual purpose. It acts as a key designed to assist readers to locate the governance disclosures made by a listed entity under Listing Rule 4.10.3 and under the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s recommendations. It also acts as a verification tool for listed entities to confirm that they have met the disclosure requirements of Listing Rule 4.10.3.

The Appendix 4G is not a substitute for, and is not to be confused with, the entity's corporate governance statement. They serve different purposes and an entity must produce each of them separately.

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

3 Throughout this form, where you are given two or more options to select, you can, if you wish, delete any option which is not applicable and just retain the option that is applicable. If you select an option that includes “OR” at the end of the selection and you delete the other options, you can also, if you wish, delete the “OR” at the end of the selection. See notes 4 and 5 below for further instructions on how to complete this form.
