ATTACHMENT TO ASX FORM 2A

KEY TERMS OF THE PERSEUS MINING LIMITED PERFORMANCE RIGHTS PLAN

The current version of the PR Plan was approved by shareholders at the AGM in November 2017 and applies to all Performance Rights currently on issue.

• (i) Participation: The Performance Rights Plan is available to Eligible Participants, as defined below, of the Company and its related bodies corporate, as such term is defined in the Corporations Act (collectively, the “ Group ” and each a “ Group Member ”). Eligible Participants are full and part-time employees and directors of a Group Member, and Eligible Contractors (collectively, “ Eligible Participants ”). An Eligible Contractor means an individual, or company, that has performed work for a Group Member for more than 12 months and received 80% or more of its income from a Group Member. No payment is required for a grant of Performance Rights, nor for the conversion of the Performance Rights to ordinary shares.

• (ii) Maximum Number Issuable: An invitation to apply for Performance Rights will not be made where the grant of Performance Rights contemplated by the invitation would result in the Company exceeding the limit that applies under ASIC Class Order 03/184 (replaced by Class Order 14/1000 in 2014) or any subsequent or replacement class order in respect of new issues of securities under employee share schemes. The limit that currently applies is 5% of the issued capital of the Company. The Performance Rights Plan also provides that the maximum number of Shares that may be issuable pursuant to Performance Rights under the Performance Rights Plan, together with all of the Company’s other previously established or proposed security based compensation arrangements, shall not exceed 10% of the Company’s total issued shares from time to time. The Performance Rights Plan does not set out a maximum number of Performance Rights that may be granted to insiders of the Company or to any one person or company.

• (iii) Vesting: Vesting conditions may be determined by the Board at the time an invitation is made, and may include a minimum employment term. Performance Rights may not be exercised until vesting conditions, as specified in the invitation, have been met. The Board has the discretion not to impose vesting conditions. As described further in item (xi) below, the Board has the power to amend or waive vesting conditions.

• (iv) Lapse: Unless the Board determines otherwise in its absolute discretion, a Performance Right will lapse on the earliest to occur of: (a) a purported transfer, assignment, mortgage, charge, disposition of or encumbrance of the Performance Right, other than with the prior written consent of the Board; (b) the holder of such Performance Right (a “ Performance Rights Holder ”) ceasing to be an Eligible Person for any reason, subject to the provisions described below; (c) a determination by the Board that a Performance Rights Holder has acted fraudulently or dishonestly or is in breach of his or her obligations to any Group Member; (d) subject to any automatic vesting in accordance with the Performance Rights Plan, if applicable vesting conditions have not been met in the prescribed period; (e) the expiry date set out in the related invitation; or (f) the seventh anniversary of the grant of the Performance Right.

• (v) Cessation of Entitlement –Death or Ill Health: Subject to any invitation’s terms and conditions, if a holder of a Performance Right ceases to be an Eligible Person due to ill health or death, then (a) if all relevant vesting conditions are met or no vesting conditions are imposed, Performance Rights may be exercised (by the personal representatives in the case of death) until it lapses in accordance with the terms of the Performance Rights Plan; or (b) if any relevant vesting conditions have not been met, the Performance Rights will automatically lapse immediately upon the Performance Rights Holder ceasing to be an Eligible Participant, unless the Board determines otherwise that all or a portion of those Performance Rights immediately vest, notwithstanding non-fulfilment of the vesting conditions.

• (vi) Cessation of Entitlement – Termination for Cause: Subject to any invitation’s terms and conditions, if the holder of a Performance Right is terminated for cause, then (a) if all relevant vesting conditions are met or no vesting conditions are imposed, the right to exercise Performance Rights is immediately suspended for a period of 10 Business Days, during which period the Board may determine to lift the suspension and allow such Performance Rights to be exercisable for a period of 20 Business Days after

the holder ceases to be an Eligible Participant, following which such Performance Rights will lapse (however, if the Board does not determine to lift the suspension, the Performance Rights will automatically lapse at the end of the 10 Business Day suspension); or (b) if any relevant vesting conditions have not been met, the Performance Rights will lapse on the day the holder ceases to be an Eligible Participant.

• (vii) Cessation of Entitlement – Termination by Consent or Cessation of Employment for Other Reasons: Subject to any invitation’s terms and conditions, if a holder of a Performance Right ceases to be an Eligible Participant (a) by their own volition, with the written consent of the Board; (b) by reason of redundancy; or (c) for reasons other than ill health or death, termination for cause or by consent, or redundancy, then: (A) if all relevant vesting conditions are met or no vesting conditions are imposed, the Performance Rights may be exercised for a period of 20 Business Days after the holder ceases to be an Eligible Person, following which such Performance Rights will lapse; or (B) if any relevant vesting conditions have not been met, the Performance Rights will lapse on the day the Performance Rights Holder ceases to be an Eligible Participant, unless the Board determines otherwise that all or a portion of those Performance Rights immediately vest, notwithstanding non-fulfilment of the vesting condition.

• (viii) Change of Control: Subject to the terms and conditions of a grant of a Performance Right, unvested Performance Rights automatically vest and are automatically exercised on the occurrence of a change of control.

• (ix) Winding up/Reorganisation: The Board may, in its absolute discretion, permit the exercise of Performance Rights, irrespective of whether the relevant vesting conditions have been met, during such period as the Board determines where the Company passes a resolution for voluntary winding up or an order is made for the Company’s compulsory winding up. In the event of any reorganisation (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return) of the issued shares, the number of Performance Rights to which each Performance Rights Holder is entitled will be adjusted in the manner provided for in the listing rules applicable at the time the reorganisation comes into effect.

• (x) Assignability: Performance Rights will be transferable or assignable only with the prior written consent of the Board, which may be withheld in its absolute discretion. If a holder of a Performance Right purports to transfer, assign, mortgage, charge or otherwise dispose of or encumber any Performance Rights without Board consent, the Performance Rights immediately lapse. Performance Rights are transferable to the extent necessary to allow exercise by personal representatives pursuant to the Performance Rights Plan in the event of death of the holder.

• (xi) Amendments: Subject to the rules of the TSX and ASX, the Board may at any time amend or add to all or any of the provisions of the Performance Rights Plan, or the terms or conditions of any Performance Right granted under the Performance Rights Plan, including vesting conditions. Specifically, the Board may amend provisions of the Performance Rights Plan, or the terms or conditions of any Performance Right, for the purposes described as items (a), (b) or (c) below and amend or waive vesting conditions, without shareholder approval. Despite the foregoing, no amendment may be made to the terms of a Performance Right without the consent of the holder of the Performance Right if the effect of the amendment is to reduce the rights of the holder of such Performance Right, other than an amendment introduced primarily (a) for the purpose of complying with present or future legislation or regulations applicable to the Company or the Performance Rights Plan; (b) to correct any manifest error or mistake; or (c) to take into consideration adverse tax implications in respect of the Performance Rights Plan.
