during the live meeting.
Shareholders are encouraged to lodge their vote prior to the meeting in the event of any technical difficulties during the meeting by visiting http://www.votingonline.com.au/qml2024agm and following the instructions no later than 48 hours before the commencement of the meeting which is at 10.30am Wednesday, 27[th] November 2024 (AEDT) .

All Resolutions will be by poll
Each Resolution considered at the meeting will be conducted by a poll, rather than on a show of hands.
Joint holders
When joint holders are named in the register of members, only one joint holder may vote. If more than one of the joint holders is present at the meeting, only the person whose name appears first in the register of members will be entitled to vote. If more than one holder votes at the meeting, only the vote of the first named of the joint holders in the register of members will be counted.
Proxies
All Shareholders who are entitled to participate in and vote at the AGM have the right to appoint a proxy to participate in the AGM and vote in their place. A proxy need not be a Shareholder and can be an individual or a body corporate.
You can direct your proxy how to vote (ie. To vote ‘for’ or ‘against’, or to ‘abstain’ from voting on, each Resolution) by following the instructions either online or on the hard copy voting form. A proxy may decide whether to vote on an item of business, except where the proxy is required by law or the constitution to vote, or abstain from voting, in his or her capacity as proxy. If a proxy is directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may only vote on the item as directed. If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may vote as he or she thinks fit.
For your proxy appointment to be effective, it must be received by Boardroom Pty Limited not less than 48 hours before the time for holding the AGM (that is by 10.30am (AEDT) on Wednesday, 27[th] November 2024).
If you appoint the Chairman as your proxy but do not direct the Chairman on how to vote, then by completing and submitting your voting instructions you are expressly authorising the Chairman to vote in favour of each item of business, even when an item of business is directly or indirectly connected to the remuneration of a member of the key management personnel of QMines Limited. The Chair intends to vote all available (including undirected) proxies in favour of all Resolutions, subject to the applicable voting exclusions.
4
If you are entitled to cast two or more votes, you may appoint two proxies and you may specify the proportion or number of votes that each proxy is appointed to exercise. If your appointment does not specify the proportion or number of your voting rights, each proxy may exercise half your votes (disregarding fractions).
The appointment of one or more duly appointed proxies will not preclude a Shareholder from attending the meeting and voting personally. If the Shareholder votes on a Resolution, the proxy must not vote as the Shareholder’s proxy on that Resolution.
Questions and Comments from Shareholders
QMines welcomes questions from Shareholders and proxyholders in the lead up to and during the AGM. In the interests of all participants, please confine your questions to matters being considered at the AGM that are relevant to Shareholders as a whole. It may not be possible to respond to all questions during the AGM and a number of similar questions may be grouped together and answered by the Chairman or management.
Before the meeting
Shareholders may submit written questions to the Company or the auditor in advance of the AGM by email to the Company Secretary at [email protected] or by post to the Company’s share registry (see address details above).
During the meeting

AGM EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Annual General Meeting ( AGM ) Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the AGM.
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 General Meeting Resolutions.
1. Annual Report
1.1. General
The first agenda item is to receive the Annual Report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2024.
1.2. Corporations Act
Section 317 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) requires the directors to lay before the Annual General Meeting the Financial Report, the Directors’ Report (including the Remuneration Report) and the Auditor’s Report for the last financial year that ended 30 June 2024.
The Annual Report is available on the Company’s website and a printed copy has been sent to those shareholders who requested it.
In accordance with sections 250S and 250SA of the Corporations Act, Shareholders present at the Annual General Meeting will be provided with a reasonable opportunity to:
-
(a) ask questions or make comment to the Directors present on the management of the Company and Remuneration Report; and
-
(b) ask questions or make comment to the Auditor about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report.
No formal resolution to adopt the Annual Report will be put to the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.
Shareholders who are unable to attend the Annual General Meeting are able to submit written questions to the Chairman or the auditor about:
-
(a) The preparation and the content of the 2024 Auditor’s Report;
-
(b) The conduct of the 2024 audit;
-
(c) Accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the 2024 financial statements; and
-
(d) The independence of the Auditor in relation to the conduct of the 2024 audit.
The questions will need to be submitted no later than five (5) business days before the Annual General Meeting to the Company Secretary at the Company’s Registered Office or via email to [email protected].
2. Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report
2.1. General
In accordance with Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, at a listed company’s Annual General Meeting, a resolution that the Company’s Remuneration Report be adopted must be put to the vote. Section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act provides that the vote on the resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
In accordance with Section 300A, the Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for Key Management Personnel. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ Report contained in the
6
Annual Financial Report for the financial year ending 30 June 2024. A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.
2.2. Voting Consequences
Under the Corporations Act, companies are required to put to shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company (“Spill Resolution”) if, at two consecutive Annual General Meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on the Remuneration Report are voted against the 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 are cast in favour of a Spill Resolution, the Company must convene a shareholder meeting (“Spill Meeting”) within 90 days of the second Annual General Meeting. At that meeting, all directors who were in office at the time of the Directors’ Report, other than the managing director, will cease to hold office immediately before the Spill Meeting. Those persons who are elected or re-elected at the Spill Meeting will be the directors of the company. Note those directors who ceased to hold office immediately prior to the Spill Meeting may stand for re-election.
Shareholders voted to adopt the Company’s Remuneration Report at the 2023 AGM with a 75.52% “for” vote. Accordingly, a Spill Resolution is not required at this AGM.
Shareholders of the Company will be provided with the opportunity to ask questions about or make comments on the Remuneration Report.
3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR
3.1. General
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 14.5, a public listed company must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting. Further, in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 14.4 and the Company’s Constitution, a director must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting following the director’s appointment and a director appointed to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the board must not hold office (without re-election) past the next annual general meeting.
If no Director is required to submit for re-election but the ASX Listing Rules require an election of Directors to be held, the Director to retire will be the Director who has been longest in office since their last election and, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, the one to retire will (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by lot. A retiring Director remains in office until the end of the meeting at which the Director retires or vacates office, and will be eligible for re-election at the meeting.
Information on the director standing for re-election is provided below.
3.2. Ms. Elissa Hansen
Ms. Elissa Hansen retires by rotation at this Annual General Meeting. She was last re-elected as a director at the 2022 AGM.
Elissa was appointed as a director of the Company on 28 August 2020. She is also the Company Secretary. Elissa has over 20 years’ experience in advising management and boards on governance, investor relations, compliance and other corporate issues. She holds a Bachelor of Commerce and a Graduate Diploma in Applied Corporate Governance and is a Fellow of the Governance Institute of Australia and a Graduate Member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors. Elissa acts as a Director and/or Company Secretary to a number of listed and unlisted companies.

4. Resolution 3- Approval for Additional Share Placement Capacity
4.1. General
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( Additional Placement Capacity ).
An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. QMines Ltd is an eligible entity for these purposes.
Resolution 3 seeks shareholder approval by way of special resolution for QMines to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without shareholder approval, should the need arise.
As a special resolution at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders eligible to vote at the meeting must be in favour of the resolution for it to be passed.
4.2. Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 3 is passed, QMines will be able to issue equity securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further shareholder approval.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, QMines will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities without shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
4.3. ASX Listing Rule 7.3A Requirements
Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the issue price for each security issued under the Additional Placement Capacity will not be less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for securities in that class over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the securities; or
-
if the securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date above, the date on which the securities are issued.
The issue of equity securities under the Additional Placement Capacity may result in voting dilution of existing ordinary shareholders (as shown in the table below). There is also the risk that:
-
the market price for equity securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Annual General Meeting; and
-
the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those equity securities on the issue date.
Table 1 following shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.2 on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities quoted on ASX for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.
8
The table also shows:
-
i. two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and
-
ii. two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% against the current market price.

| Funds Raised | $2,071,246 | $4,142,492 | $6,213,738 |
The above table is based on the following assumptions:
-
The number of shares on issue (variable “A”) is calculated as 342,109,398 being all fully paid ordinary shares quoted on ASX as at the date of this Notice.
-
The Company issues the maximum number of equity securities available under the Additional Placement Capacity.
-
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue.
-
The table shows only the issue of equity securities under the Additional Placement Capacity and not under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
The issue of equity securities under the Additional Placement Capacity includes only Shares.
-
The issue price of $0.10 was the closing price of shares on ASX on 1 October 2024.
Equity securities under the Additional Placement Capacity may be issued until the earlier of:
-
the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained;
-
the time and date of the Company’s next Annual General Meeting; or
-
the date of approval by ordinary shareholders of a significant change to the Company’s activities under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 or the date of approval by ordinary shareholders of a disposal of a major asset under ASX Listing Rule 11.2.
-
To be clear, any approval of the Additional Placement Capacity at this Annual General Meeting will cease to be valid in the event that ordinary shareholders approve a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 or 11.2.
9
-
The Company may issue equity securities in an existing quoted class of securities under the Additional Placement Capacity for cash consideration:
-
to raise funds for the development of the Company’s new and existing products and services;
-
to raise funds for the acquisition of new assets or investments (including assets associated with such acquisition);
-
to fund working capital.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 upon issue of any equity securities under the Additional Placement Capacity.
The Company’s allocation policy for issues under the Additional Placement Capacity is dependent on prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue. The identity of the allottees of the equity securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including, but not limited to, the following:
-
the purpose of the issue;
-
the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including rights issues or other issues in which existing shareholders may participate;
-
the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;
-
the financial situation and solvency of the Company;
-
prevailing market conditions; and
-
advice from the Company’s advisors.
As the Company has no current plans to undertake a new capital raising, the allottees under the Additional Placement Capacity have not yet been determined, but if such an exercise was undertaken, allottees may include existing substantial shareholders and/or new shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
QMines sought Additional Placement Capacity at its 2023 Annual General Meeting. During the 12 months preceding the date of this meeting, the Company issued 22,007,605 Shares utilising the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A on 9 August 2024 at $0.046 each, a 6% discount to the closing price on the day of issue being $0.05, to clients of Whairo Capital Pty Ltd. QMines received a total of $1,012,350 from Shares issued utilising the Company's Listing Rule 7.1A placement capacity. All these funds have been used for exploration and development plans at the Company’s flagship Mt Chalmers and Develin Creek projects together with general working capital.
The total Shares issued using the Company placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A since the Company’s last AGM, represents 10% on all Shares on issue at the commencement of the 12-month period.
A voting exclusion statement has been included in this Notice. However, as at the date of this Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholders to participate in the issue of equity securities under the Additional Placement Capacity. No existing Shareholders’ votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.
If the Company issues equity securities pursuant to the Additional Placement Capacity, it will give to ASX list of the allottees of the equity securities and the number of equity securities allotted to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.4.

You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by contacting the company’s securities registry or you may copy this form.
STEP 3 SIGN THE FORM
The form must be signed as follows: Individual: This form is to be signed by the securityholder.
Joint Holding : where the holding is in more than one name, all the securityholders should sign.
Power of Attorney: to sign under a Power of Attorney, you must have already lodged it with the registry. Alternatively, attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.
Companies: this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form should be signed by that person. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place.
STEP 4 LODGEMENT
To appoint a second proxy you must:
(a) complete two Proxy Forms. On each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or the number of securities applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded.
(b) return both forms together in the same envelope.
STEP 2 VOTING DIRECTIONS TO YOUR PROXY
To direct your proxy how to vote, mark 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 securities are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number that you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. 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 for all your securities your vote on that item will be invalid.
Proxy which is a Body Corporate
Where a body corporate is appointed as your proxy, the representative of that body corporate attending the meeting must have provided an “Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission. An Appointment of Corporate Representative form can be obtained from the company’s securities registry.
