EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting to be held at 10:00 am (WST) on Thursday, 25 November 2021 at RSM Partners Australia, Level 32 Exchange Tower, 2 The Esplanade, Perth Western Australia.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

1. ANNUAL REPORT

Section 317 of the Corporations Act requires the reports of the directors and of the auditors and the Annual Report, including the financial statements, to be put before the Annual General Meeting and the Constitution provides for those reports and statements to be received and considered at the Annual General Meeting. Neither the Corporations Act nor the Constitution requires a vote of Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on the reports or statements. However, Shareholders will be given the opportunity to raise questions on the reports and the statements at the Annual General Meeting.

The Company’s 2021 Annual Report is available at www.mtmalcolm.com.au. Those shareholders that elected to receive a printed copy of the Annual Report will have received a copy with this Notice of Annual General Meeting.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF THE REMUNERATION REPORT

The Remuneration Report is in the Directors Report section of the Company's Annual Report.

By way of summary, the Remuneration Report:

  • (a) explains the Company's remuneration policy and the process for determining the remuneration of its Directors and executive officers;

  • (b) addresses the relationship between the Company's remuneration policy and the Company's performance; and

  • (c) sets out remuneration details for each Director and each of the Company's executives named in the Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2021.

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires companies to put a resolution to their members that the Remuneration Report be adopted. The vote on this resolution is advisory only, however, and does not bind the Board or the Company. The Board will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by Shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the meeting when reviewing the Company's remuneration policies.

The Chairman will give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about or to make comments on the Remuneration Report.

Under the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive AGMs, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGMs on a resolution that a further meeting is held at which all of the Company’s Directors (other than the Managing Director) must stand for re-election. Voting on this resolution will be determined by a poll at the meeting rather than a show of hands. This Meeting will be the Company’s first AGM since incorporation.

Undirected proxies

The Chairman intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. If the Chairman of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, the Shareholder is considered to have provided the Chairman with an express authorisation to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman’s intention.

5

Any undirected proxies held by any other key management personnel or any of their closely related parties will not be voted on this resolution.

Key management personnel of the Company has the same meaning as set out in the accounting standards and includes the Directors of the Company and those other persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly. The Remuneration Report identifies the Company’s key management personnel for the financial year to 30 June 2021. Their closely related parties are defined in the Corporations Act, and include certain members of their family, dependents and companies they control.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF MR ROBERT DOWNEY AS A DIRECTOR

ASX Listing Rule 14.4 and Clause 14.2 of the Constitution provide that a re-election of Directors must be held at each annual general meeting. The Directors to retire are to be those who have been in office for 3 years since their appointment or last re-appointment or who have been longest in office since their appointment or last re-appointment or, if the Directors have been in office for an equal length of time, by agreement. Mr Downey retires from office in accordance with these requirements and being eligible, offers himself for re-election by shareholders as a director of the Company, with effect from the end of the meeting.

Mr Downey was admitted as a barrister and solicitor of the Supreme Court of Western Australia in December 1999. He has practised in areas of international law, corporate law, and initial public offerings as well as mergers and acquisitions. He has extensive legal experience as an advisor and director of various ASX, TSX and AIM companies. Mr Downey has held, and continues to hold, directorships of many publicly listed companies and regularly advises boards on issues of governance and strategy. Mr Downey is currently a founding partner at Dominion Legal.

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of Mr Downey as a director.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING PROXY FORM

  1. A member entitled to attend and vote at an Annual General Meeting is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote on a poll on their behalf. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. Where more than one proxy is appointed, such proxy must be allocated a proportion of the member’s voting rights. If a member appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify this proportion, each proxy may exercise half the votes. A duly appointed proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.

  2. If you wish to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, mark the box. If the person you wish to appoint as your proxy is someone other than the Chairman of the Meeting, please write the full name of that individual or body corporate in the space provided. If you leave both the box and this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chairman of the Meeting will be your proxy. A proxy need not be a security holder of the Company. A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate.

If your appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and your appointed proxy is not the Chairman of the meeting and at the meeting a poll is duly demanded on the question that the resolution be passed, then if either your proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting (if a record of attendance is made) or your proxy does not vote on the resolution, the Chairman is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as your proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at that meeting.

  1. You may direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction, unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the appropriate place. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.

If you direct your proxy how to vote on a particular resolution, the proxy need not vote on a show of hands but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote as directed. If the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution, the proxy must not vote on a show of hands. If the proxy is the Chairman, the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote as directed and if the proxy is not the Chairman, the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote as directed. If any member of the Key Management Personnel of the Company, other than the Chairman of the Meeting, or a Closely Related Party of a member of the Key Management Personnel is your nominated proxy and you have not directed the proxy how to vote on Resolution 1 (Remuneration Report), that person will not cast any votes on Resolution 1.

  1. Where a member’s holding is in one name the holder must sign. Where the holding is in more than one name, all members should sign.

  2. Where a Proxy Form of a corporate representative is lodged and is executed under a power of attorney, the power of attorney must be lodged in like manner as this Proxy Form.

  3. Corporate members should comply with the execution requirements set out on the Proxy Form or otherwise with the provisions of Section 127 of the Corporations Act. Section 127 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may execute a document without using its common seal if the document is signed by:

  4. 2 directors of the company;

  5. a director and a company secretary of the company; or

  6. for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary – that director.

For the Company to rely on the assumptions set out in Section 129(5) and (6) of the Corporations Act, a document must appear to have been executed in accordance with Section 127(1) or (2). This effectively means that the status of the persons signing the document or witnessing the affixing of the seal must be set out and conform to the requirements of Section 127(1) or (2) as applicable. In particular, a person who witnesses the affixing of a common seal and who is the sole director and sole company secretary of the company must state that next to his or her signature.

  1. Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual members from attending the Annual General Meeting in person if they wish. Where a member completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Annual General Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that member is suspended while the member is present at the Annual General Meeting.

  2. To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:

  3. post to Mt Malcolm Mines NL, PO Box 1052, Osborne Park DC, WA 6916, or

  4. in person to Mt Malcolm Mines NL, 8 Sarich Court, Osborne Park WA 6017; or

  5. facsimile to the Company Secretary on facsimile number +61 8 9463 2499; or

  6. o email to the Company at [email protected]

so that it is received not later than 10.00 am (WST) on Tuesday, 23 November 2021. Proxy forms received later than this time will be invalid.
