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 Meeting have the right to appoint a proxy to participate in the Meeting 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.

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.

QMines welcomes questions from Shareholders and proxyholders in the lead up to and during the meeting. In the interests of all participants, please confine your questions to matters being considered at the Meeting that are relevant to Shareholders as a whole. It may not be possible to respond to all questions during the Meeting and a number of similar questions may be grouped together and answered by the Chairman or management.

MEETING EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This General Meeting ( Meeting ) Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Meeting.

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. Background to the Resolutions

On 17 February 2025, QMines announced that it had received firm commitments to raise a total of $6 million (before costs) via a two-tranche placement ( Placement ) with the second tranche being subject to shareholder approval. The Placement received strong demand from new and existing shareholders.

The Company issued 85,197,743 fully paid ordinary shares (Shares ) at an issue price of $0.045 per Share using its ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A placement capacity on 21 February (73,514,067 Shares) and 24 February (11,683,676 Shares), for which Shareholder ratification is sought pursuant to Resolutions 1 & 2.

The tranche two Shares (48,135,593 Shares) are subject to Shareholder approval (Resolution 3).

Funds raised from the Placement are being used to accelerate exploration and development at the Mt Chalmers and Develin Creek Copper and Gold Projects and for working capital.

Wilsons Corporate Finance Limited ( Wilsons ) and Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited ( Canaccord ) acted as Joint Lead Managers to the raising. Under the terms of the placement, a 6% cash fee (plus GST) on the total amount raised will be payable together with five million unlisted options exercisable at $0.0675 options and expiring three years from issue for which Shareholder approval is sought pursuant to Resolution 4.

2. Resolutions 1 & 2

2.1. General

Resolutions 1 & 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of an aggregate 85,197,743 Shares to clients of the Joint Lead Managers at an issue price of $0.045 per Share under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to a combined 25% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period. Shareholders approved the additional 10% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at the Annual General Meeting held on 29 November 2024.

The issue of Shares to clients of the Joint Lead Managers does not fall within any of the relevant exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 and, as they have not yet been approved by Shareholders, utilise the Company’s 15% placement limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, thereby reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval for the 12-month period following the issue dates. ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where shareholders subsequently approve an issue of securities, the issue will be treated as having been approved under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, thereby replenishing the Company’s combined 25% capacity, enabling it to issue further securities up to that limit.

without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A. Accordingly, Resolutions 1 & 2 seeks approval under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement Shares.

6

2.2. Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 1 & 2 is passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of the issue.

If Resolutions 1 & 2 is not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the issue.

2.3. Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 1 & 2:

  • (a) 50,885,512 Shares were issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 34,312,231 Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A to clients of the Joint Lead Managers;

  • (b) The Shares issued rank equally in all respects with existing Shares on issue;

  • (e) The key terms of the agreement between the Company and Wilsons Corporate Finance Limited and Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited are to act as joint lead managers for the capital raise for a fee of 6% (+GST) on funds raised and the issue of 5,000,000 Options.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the tranche two Shares issued will be excluded from the calculation of the Company’s 15% limit allowing the Company to issue equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the proposed issue of the tranche two Shares will not proceed and the Company will not raise the additional $2.27million.

4.2. Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 4 is passed, the unlisted Options issued will be excluded from the calculation of the Company’s 15% limit allowing the Company to issue equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the proposed issue of unlisted Options will not proceed and the Company will need to consider alternative forms of payment including by way of cash payment.

4.3. Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

  • (a) 5,000,000 unlisted Options to be issued to Wilsons Corporate Finance Limited and Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited or their nominees;
