Corporate Governance Statement

Part A: Introduction

The Board of Directors is responsible for the overall Corporate Governance of the Company, including strategic direction, goal setting and monitoring, internal control, risk management and financial reporting. In discharging this responsibility, the Board seeks to take into account the interests of all key stakeholders of the Company. including shareholders, employees, customers and the broader community.
• A2. As a listed entity, Ramelius Resources Limited is required to adhere to the ASX Listing Rules of the Australian Securities Exchange. This includes the requirement to annually report the extent to which the entity has followed the Corporate Governance Recommendations published by the ASX Corporate Governance Council ("ASXCGC").

In considering corporate governance practices, the Board is mindful of the recognition by the ASXCGC that a "one size fits all" approach to Corporate Governance is not required. Instead, the ASXCGC provides suggestions for best practice designed to optimise corporate performance and accountability in the interests of shareholders and the broader economy. A company may consider that a recommendation is inappropriate to its particular circumstances and has flexibility not to adopt it and explain why.

The Board of Directors believe that consistent with the operations of the

Company, its key stakeholders, principally shareholders, are willing to accept a higher level of risk than may otherwise be expected with other listed companies in return for higher potential rewards.

Remuneration Policy

Remuneration Practices

• B74. The Company's policy for determining the nature and amounts of emoluments of Board members and key management personnel/senior executives of the Company is as follows.
• B75. The Company's Constitution specifies that the total amount of remuneration of non-executive directors shall be fixed from time to time by a general meeting. The current maximum aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors has been set at \$750,000 per annum. Directors may apportion any amount up to this maximum amount amongst the non-executive directors as they determine. Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, accommodation and other expenses incurred in performing their duties as directors. The remuneration of the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer is determined by the non-executive directors on the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and approved by the Board as part of the terms and conditions of his employment which are subject to review from time to time. The remuneration of other executive officers and employees is determined by the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer subject to the review of the Remuneration Committee and approval of the Board.
• B76. Non-executive director remuneration is by way of fees and statutory superannuation contributions. Non-executive directors do not participate in schemes designed for remuneration of executives nor do they receive options or bonus payments and are not provided with retirement benefits other than salary sacrifice and statutory superannuation.
• B77. The Company's remuneration framework is based on a number of factors including the particular experience and performance of the individual in meeting key objectives of the Company. A Nomination and Remuneration Committee was established to assist the Board by overseeing remuneration policies and make recommendations to the Board. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is responsible for assessing relevant employment market conditions and achieving the overall, long term objective of maximising shareholder benefits, through the retention of high quality personnel. The Company may also engage external consultants to advise on remuneration policy and to benchmark remuneration of senior executives against comparable entities so as to ensure that remuneration packages are consistent with the market and are appropriate for the organisation.
• B78. The Company remunerates its key management personnel/senior executives with a total reward package that consists of two components; total fixed remuneration and total variable remuneration. Total fixed remuneration comprises of base salary, superannuation and other fixed executive benefits (such as salary sacrifice). Total variable remuneration comprises of short term incentives ("STI") and long-term incentives ("LTI"). To ensure that key management personnel/senior executive remuneration is aligned to company performance, where appropriate, a portion of selected senior executives' target pay is "at risk". All key management personnel/senior executives receive a base salary based on factors such as experience, length of service, superannuation and performance incentives. Performance incentives are generally paid once predetermined key performance indicators ("KPI") have been met. Key management personnel/senior executives receive superannuation contributions; however, do not receive any other form of retirement benefits. Individuals may elect to salary sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation. On retirement, key management personnel/senior executives are paid employee benefit entitlements accrued to the date of retirement. The STI plan is designed to encourage the achievement of specific goals given prominence by the Board for the growth and profitability of the Company.
• B79. Remuneration details including LTI and any STI cash bonuses paid during a financial year are disclosed in the Remuneration Report section of the Annual Report.
• B80. All remuneration paid to key management personnel/senior executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed.

Employee Incentive Plan

B81. The Company's Performance Rights Plan enables the Board to offer eligible employees as a long-term incentive, ordinary fully paid shares in the Company. The Performance Rights Plan enables the Board to grant Performance Rights (being entitlements to shares in the Company that are subject to satisfaction of vesting conditions) to selected employees as a long-term incentive as determined by the Board in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan.

Corporate Governance Statement

• B82. The objective of the Performance Rights Plan is to provide selected employees the opportunity to participate in the equity of the Company through the issue of Performance Rights as a long-term incentive that is aligned to the long-term interests of shareholders.
• B83. Details of share-based compensation to key management personnel/senior executives are disclosed in the Remuneration Report section of the Annual Report.

Performance Based Remuneration

• B84. Key management personnel/senior executives may receive performance-based remuneration as considered appropriate by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and approved by the Board. The intention of this remuneration is to facilitate goal congruence between key management personnel/senior executives with that of the business and shareholders. Two methods may be used to achieve this aim.
• B85. The first method is the issue of options to key management personnel/senior executives. Any options issued to key management personnel/senior executives during the financial year are disclosed in the Remuneration Report section of the Annual Report.
• B86. The second method is through a Performance Rights Plan. On 30 June 2016, the Board approved a new Performance Rights Plan. Under the plan, the number of rights granted to senior executives ranges up to 40% (100% for the Managing Director) of the executive's total fixed remuneration and is dependent upon each individual's skills, responsibilities and ability to influence financial or other key objectives of Ramelius. The number of rights granted is calculated by dividing the long-term incentive remuneration dollar amount by the volume weighted average price of Ramelius shares traded on the Australian Securities Exchange during the 5 trading day period prior to the date of the grant. Vesting and measurement period for performance rights is set over three years with vesting and measurement of the granted rights occurring at the end of that three-year period. Rights are subject to vesting conditions related to achievement of total shareholder returns and period of service. Total shareholder return performance is measured against the total shareholder return of a benchmark peer group.
• B87. Any Rights that do not vest on the vesting date will lapse. The Rights may be subject to performance conditions which are to be tested in future financial periods. Details of any share-based compensation to key management personnel/senior executives are disclosed in the Remuneration Report section of the Annual Report.
• B88. The employment conditions of Executive Directors including the Chief Executive Officer and key management personnel/senior executives are formalised in contracts of employment. The contracts have no fixed term with specific terms not greater than 12 months' notice of termination by the executive and Company. Generally, employment contracts of senior executives enable the Company to terminate the contracts without cause by providing written notice or making a termination payment in lieu of notice including a minimum termination payment as provided for under the contracts. However any such termination payments to officers of the Company are subject to the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.19, and in the event that the value of termination benefits to be paid and the value of all other termination benefits that are or may be payable to all officers of the Company together exceed 5% of the equity interests of the Company as set out in the latest accounts given to the ASX, the payment shall be pro-rata based on the maximum total termination benefits allowable under ASX Listing Rule 10.19. Termination payments are not generally payable on resignation or dismissal for serious misconduct. Any performance rights or options not vested or exercised before the date of termination will lapse.
• B89. Details of directors' and key management personnel/senior executive remuneration, superannuation and retirement payments are set out in the Remuneration Report section of the Annual Report.

Products limiting risk

¹ Under Listing Rule 4.7.3, an entity must lodge with ASX a completed Appendix 4G at the same time as it lodges its annual report with ASX.

Listing Rule 4.10.3 requires an entity that is included in the official list as an ASX Listing to include in its annual report either a corporate governance statement that meets the requirements of that rule or the URL of the page on its website where such a statement is located. The corporate governance statement must disclose the extent to which the entity has followed the recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council during the reporting period. If the entity has not followed a recommendation for any part of the reporting period, its corporate governance statement must separately identify that recommendation and the period during which it was not followed and state its reasons for not following the recommendation and what (if any) alternative governance practices it adopted in lieu of the recommendation during that period.

Under Listing Rule 4.7.4, if an entity chooses to include its corporate governance statement on its website rather than in its annual report, it must lodge a copy of the corporate governance statement with ASX at the same time as it lodges its annual report with ASX. The corporate governance statement must be current as at the effective date specified in that statement for the purposes of rule 4.10.3.

² "Corporate governance statement" is defined in Listing Rule 19.12 to mean the statement referred to in Listing Rule 4.10.3 which discloses the extent to which an entity has followed the recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council during a particular reporting period.

³ Mark whichever option is correct and then complete the page number(s) of the annual report, or the URL of the web page, where the entity's corporate governance statement can be found.
