2.3 Assessment of Board Independence

Directors are expected to contribute independent views to the Board.

An independent Board member operates independently of executive management and free of any business or other relationship (personal, business or otherwise) that could materially interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with, the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgment.

Independent Board members accordingly assist in ensuring that the Board operates in the best interests of the Company, having regard to the goals and objectives of the Company.

The assessment of whether a Board member is independent is a matter of judgement for the Board as a whole and includes concepts of materiality. In making that judgement the Board may have regard to, but need not be bound by, the Recommendations as to director “independence”.

Corporate Governance Statement
----- End of picture text -----

All Board members are required to disclose to the Board and the Nomination Committee (via the Company Secretary) any interest, position, association, relationship or information (and any changes thereof) which may be relevant or material to that assessment. No director deemed independent has any interest, position, affiliation or relationship of the type described in Box 2.3 of the Fourth Edition.

The Chairman, and at least a majority of Directors, should be independent, unless special circumstances exist, are disclosed and are approved of by the Board as an exception to this requirement.

The Board regularly reviews and considers the positions and associations of each of the Directors in office.

As at 31 December 2023, the Board considered that six of the seven directors were independent, namely, Mr. M. Botha (Chairman), Ms. S. Shugg, Mr. A. Reynolds, Mr. S. Jackson, Mr. M. Potts and Mr. K. Marshall. As at 31 December 2023, the Board did not consider Mr. T. Holohan to be independent.

Refer to section 2.2 of this statement under the heading “The Board” for details of the length of service of each of the Directors.

2.4 Ratio of Board Independence

  • As at 31 December 2023 and the date of this statement, the majority of the Board (six of the seven Directors) were independent.

2.5 Roles of the Chairman and CEO

The roles of the Chairman (Mr. M. Botha) and the CEO (Mr T. Holohan) are not exercised by the same individual. As at the date of this Statement, the Chairman is an independent Non-Executive Director.

2.6 Board Induction and Professional Development

The Company has a procedure for the selection and appointment of new Directors which can be viewed here. The Board, through the Nomination Committee, reviews whether the Directors as a group have the skills, knowledge and familiarity with the Group and its operating environment required to fulfil their role on the Board and its Committees effectively. It also oversees Board member induction and professional development including, where gaps are identified, considering what training or development could be undertaken to fill the gaps, and where necessary, providing resources for the Directors to develop and maintain their skills and knowledge. Further details of the professional development provided by the Nomination Committee can be found in the Nomination Committee Charter.

Directors and Board Committees have the right, in connection with their duties and responsibilities, to seek independent professional advice at the Company's expense.

3. Act ethically and responsibly

3.1 Values

The Company has implemented a formal set of behavioural values designed to uphold high standards of integrity and work performance by all Directors and employees of the Group. The Company’s values are:

3.2 Ethical standards and code of conduct

Code of Conduct

The Board acknowledges the need for the highest standards of corporate governance and ethical conduct by all Directors and employees of the Group. As such, the Company has a Code of Conduct which has been fully endorsed by the Board and applies to all Directors and Group employees. The Code of Conduct is regularly reviewed and updated as necessary to ensure that it reflects the highest standards of behaviour and professionalism and the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the Group's integrity.

A fundamental theme is that all business affairs are conducted legally, ethically and with strict observance of the highest standards of integrity and propriety. The Directors and management have the responsibility to carry out their functions with a view to maximising financial performance of the consolidated entity. This concerns the propriety of decision making in conflict of interest situations and quality decision making for the benefit of Shareholders. All material breaches of the Code of Conduct are reported to the Board.

The Company’s employees must complete training on the Code of Conduct (via an online module or in a face to face format).

A copy of the Company’s Code of Conduct can be found here.

Whistleblower Policy

In line with the Code of Conduct, the Company has a Whistleblower Policy which aims to further the Company’s commitment to maintaining high ethical standards of conduct and to encourage the reporting of any instance of suspected unethical, illegal, fraudulent or undesirable conduct which contravenes the Code of Conduct. The Whistleblower Policy also ensures that persons who make a report in good faith can do so without fear of intimidation, disadvantage or reprisal. All material breaches of the Whistleblower Policy are reported to the Board.

All material incidents reported under the Policy are required to be reported to the Audit and Risk Committee. A copy of the Company’s Whistleblower Policy can be found here.

Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy

An important element of the Code of Conduct addresses anti-bribery and corruption ( ABC ) and requires the adherence to Australian and other applicable anti-bribery laws conducting business dealings, irrespective of local standards and practices in the place of business. The Company’s Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy provides further guidance and sets out the Company’s commitment to conducting its business ethically and with honesty and integrity, with a “zero-tolerance” approach to bribery and corruption. All material breaches of the Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy are reported to the Board.

The Company conducts a broader ABC compliance programme which includes measures such as ABC training for staff (particularly staff at higher risk of exposure to corruption), the placement of suitable ABC clauses in all contracts (particularly those with third party representatives who interact with government officials on the Company’s behalf), and a pre-approval regime for offering, giving or receiving gifts above a modest value.

The Company has not been involved in any ABC regulatory investigations or legal actions either during the calendar year ending 31 December 2023 or as at the date of this statement.

A copy of the Company’s Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy can be found here.

3.3 Sustainability Committee

As at the date of this statement, the Company has a Sustainability Committee. The Sustainability Committee is comprised of Mr. T. Holohan (CEO & Chair), Ms. S. Shugg (Non-Executive Director), Mr. A. Reynolds (NonExecutive Director), Mr. K. Marshall and relevant senior executives, namely the Company’s Chief Operating Officer.

The Sustainability Committee is chaired by Mr. T. Holohan.

The Sustainability Committee operates under a charter approved by the Board which can be found here. The key purposes of the Committee are to act as a forum for presentation of the safety performance and environmental impact management of the Group operations including exploration, consultation, discussion and dissemination of information on matters which are likely to affect the safety performance and environmental management of Group workplaces.

The scope of the Audit and Risk Committee’s risk function includes approving and monitoring policies for identifying and managing/mitigating/transferring risk (including in accordance with the Group’s risk management policy) and reviewing the Group’s risk management framework and policies at least annually to satisfy itself that it continues to be sound and that it is operating with due regard to the risk appetite set by the Board. The risk management framework was continually reviewed by the Board during the year ended 31 December 2023.

Deloitte has been engaged from 2023 to perform the internal audit function. The Company Secretary is responsible for internal audit, reporting directly to the Audit and Risk Committee. The Joint Company Secretaries are responsible for internal audit, reporting directly to the Audit and Risk Committee. The internal audit function conducts internal audit reviews to evaluate and where appropriate, identify areas where management should improve the effectiveness of the Company’s risk management, control, compliance and governance processes. When conducting these reviews, the internal audit function is supported by a combination of internal and external resources. In 2023, Deloitte was engaged to perform the internal audit function and to assess the processes and controls in place in order to give management a view of effectiveness of our control environment.

The Audit and Risk Committee will ensure that appropriately qualified personnel with the suitable skill sets are employed to manage the internal audit function and reviews and assesses the performance and objectivity of the Company’s internal audit function.

These pages of our annual report: This URL on our https://www.rml.com.au/corporate-governance/ website:

The Corporate Governance Statement is accurate and up to date as at 27 March 2024 and has been approved by the board.

The annexure includes a key to where our corporate governance disclosures can be located.[3]

Date: 27 March 2024 Name of authorised officer Tim Whyte and Sam Wright authorising lodgement: Joint Company Secretaries

1 “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.

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 Listing Rule 4.10.3.

Under Listing Rule 4.7.3, an entity must also lodge with ASX a completed Appendix 4G at the same time as it lodges its annual report with ASX. The Appendix 4G serves a dual purpose. It acts as a key designed to assist readers to locate the governance disclosures made by a listed entity under Listing Rule 4.10.3 and under the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s recommendations. It also acts as a verification tool for listed entities to confirm that they have met the disclosure requirements of Listing Rule 4.10.3.

The Appendix 4G is not a substitute for, and is not to be confused with, the entity's corporate governance statement. They serve different purposes and an entity must produce each of them separately.

2 Tick whichever option is correct and then complete the page number(s) of the annual report, or the URL of the web page, where your corporate governance statement can be found. You can, if you wish, delete the option which is not applicable.

3 Throughout this form, where you are given two or more options to select, you can, if you wish, delete any option which is not applicable and just retain the option that is applicable. If you select an option that includes “OR” at the end of the selection and you delete the other options, you can also, if you wish, delete the “OR” at the end of the selection. See notes 4 and 5 below for further instructions on how to complete this form.
