If you have any questions regarding the matters set out in this Explanatory Statement or the preceding Notice, please contact the Company, your stockbroker or other professional adviser.

Certain abbreviations and other defined terms are used throughout this Explanatory Statement. Defined terms are generally identifiable by the use of an upper case first letter. Details of the definitions and abbreviations used are set out in the Glossary contained in this Explanatory Statement.

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the Shareholders of Peppermint Innovation in connection with the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held at 1.30pm (WST) on Friday, 30[th] November 2018.

1. ANNUAL ACCOUNTS

The Corporations Act requires that the Annual Report (which includes the financial report, directors’ report and auditors’ report) be tabled at the Annual General Meeting.

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2018 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.pepltd.com.au.

Shareholders will be given an opportunity to ask questions and make comments about the Annual Report of the Company generally, but there will be no formal resolution submitted in respect of the Annual Report.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1. General

The Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors’ Report in the Company's 2018 Annual Report.

The Corporations Act requires the Company to put a resolution to Shareholders that the Remuneration Report be adopted. In accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, the vote on the Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

2.2. Voting Consequences

A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company (Spill Resolution) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

6

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

2.3. Previous voting results

It is noted that at the Company’s 2017 annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report represented less than 25% of the total votes cast and accordingly, a spill resolution will not under any circumstances be required for the Annual General Meeting.

A voting exclusion applies to Resolution 1 in the terms set out in the Notice of Meeting. Key Management Personnel and their closely related parties may not vote on this Resolution and may not cast a vote as proxy, unless the proxy appointment gives a direction on how to vote or the proxy is given to the Chairman and expressly authorises the Chairman to exercise the proxy. The Chairman will use any such proxies to vote in favour of Resolution 1.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF A DIRECTOR - MR LEIGH RYAN

3.1. General

Resolution 2 seeks approval for the re-election of Mr Leigh Ryan as a Director.

In accordance with Listing Rule 14.4 and clause 14.2 of the Constitution, at every Annual General Meeting, one third of the Directors for the time being must retire from office by rotation and are eligible for reelection. The Directors to retire are 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 Ryan retires by rotation at this Annual General Meeting and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.

3.2. Qualifications and other material directorships

Mr Ryan is a highly qualified geologist with 29 years’ experience in the exploration and resources industry, specifically in exploration and executive management throughout Australia and Africa. He has been involved in targeting, evaluation, discovery and resource definition of numerous gold and base metal deposits and has successfully negotiated purchase option and joint venture agreements.

Mr Ryan was the managing director of Chrysalis Resources Limited prior to the reverse takeover by the Company.

Mr Ryan is currently the Managing Director of Alchemy Resources Limited and in the previous 3 years has held directorships at Chrysalis Resources Limited, Attila Resources Limited and Boss Resources Limited. He is no longer a director of Chrysalis Resources Limited, Attila Resources Limited or Boss Resources Limited.

3.3. Independence

If re-elected the board considers Mr Ryan will be an independent director.

3.4. Directors’ Recommendation

The Board supports the re-election of Mr Ryan and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
