EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1. Introduction

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders of the Company in connection with the business to be conducted at the Meeting to be held at the IBIS Styles Kalgoorlie, 45 Egan Street, Kalgoorlie on Thursday, 15 November 2018 commencing at 10.00 am (WST).

This Explanatory Memorandum should be read in conjunction with and forms part of the accompanying Notice. The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide information to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice.

A Proxy Form is located at the end of the Explanatory Memorandum.

2. Action to be taken by Shareholders

Shareholders should read the Notice and this Explanatory Memorandum carefully and in its entirety before deciding how to vote on the Resolutions.

2.1 Proxies

A Proxy Form is attached to the Notice. This is to be used by Shareholders if they wish to appoint a representative (a proxy) to vote in their place. All Shareholders are invited and encouraged to attend the Meeting or, if they are unable to attend in person, sign and return the Proxy Form to the Company in accordance with the instructions thereon. Lodgement of a Proxy Form will not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting at the Meeting in person.

Please note that:

• (a) a member of the Company entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy;
• (b) a proxy need not be a member of the Company; and
• (c) a member of the Company entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, but where the proportion or number is not specified, each proxy may exercise half of the votes.

Shareholders and their proxies should be aware that changes to the Corporations Act made in 2011 have the effect that:

• if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as they are directed to; and

• any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chair, who must vote the proxies as directed.

Further details on these changes are set out below.

Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote

Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does:

• the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

• if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and

• if the proxy is the Chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

• if the proxy is not the Chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

Transfer of non-chair proxy to Chair in certain circumstances

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

• an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and

• the appointed proxy is not the Chair of the meeting; and
• at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and
• either of the following applies:
  • o the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting;
  • o the proxy does not vote on the resolution,

the Chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.

The enclosed Proxy Form provides further details on appointing proxies and lodging Proxy Forms.

2.2 Voting Prohibition by Proxy Holders

In accordance with section 250R of the Corporations Act, a vote on Resolution 1 must not be cast (in any capacity) by, or on behalf of:

• (a) a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report; or
• (b) a Closely Related Party of such member.

However, a person described above may cast a vote on Resolution 1 as proxy if the vote is not cast on behalf of a person described in subparagraphs (a) or (b) above and either:

• (a) the person does so as a proxy appointed by writing that specifies how the proxy is to vote on the Resolution; or
• (b) the person is the Chairman and the appointment of the Chairman as proxy:
  • (i) does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on Resolution 1; and
  • (ii) expressly authorises the Chairman to exercise the proxy even if Resolution 1 is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel.

3. Annual Report

There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve the Annual Report.

Shareholders will be offered the following opportunities:

• (a) discuss the Annual Report which is available online at www.randmining.com.au;
• (b) ask questions or make comment on the management of the Company; and
• (c) ask the auditor questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the Auditor's Report.

In addition to taking questions at the Meeting, written questions to the Chairman about the management of the Company, or to the Company's auditor about:

• (a) the preparation and the content of the Auditor's Report; and
• (b) the conduct of the audit;
• (c) accounting policies by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements; and
• (d) the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit,

may be submitted no later than 5 Business Days before the Meeting to the Company Secretary at the Company's registered office.

4. Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act provides that the Company is required to put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and non-executive Directors.

Section 250R(3) of Corporations Act provides that Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company itself, and therefore a failure of Shareholders to pass Resolution 1 will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

However, the Corporations Act has been amended by the Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Act 2011 (Director and Executive Remuneration Act) which received the Royal Assent on 27 June 2011 and came into effect on 1 July 2011.

The Director and Executive Remuneration Act introduced new sections 250U and 250V, amongst others, into the Corporations Act, giving Shareholders the opportunity to remove the Board if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings (Two Strikes Rule).

Under the Two Strikes Rule, where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report will cease to hold office immediately before that further meeting but may stand for re-election.

At the Company's previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the Remuneration Report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, a further resolution relating to the Two Strikes Rule is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

The Chairman will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.

The Chairman intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. If the Chairman of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, the Shareholder is considered to have provided the Chairman with an express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman's intention.

5. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director – Mr Otakar Demis

Rule 17.4(b) of the Constitution requires that at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, an election of Directors must take place. If no Directors are required to retire, the Directors to retire at the annual general meeting are those who have been in office longest since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots.

Rule 17.4(a) provides that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer. Pursuant to rule 17.4(a) a Director may elect to retire and seek re-election.

Accordingly, Mr Otakar Demis will retire pursuant to rule 17.4 and being eligible, seeks reelection.

Mr Otakar Demis will retire in accordance with clause 17.4(a) of the Constitution and being eligible, seeks re-election.

Details of Otakar Demis' background and experience are set out in the Annual Report.

The Board (excluding Mr Otakar Demis) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2. The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.
