  • appointing a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf using the Proxy Form accompanying this Notice of Meeting and by submitting their proxy appointment and voting instructions in person, by post, electronically via the internet or by facsimile.

Voting in person (or by attorney)

Shareholders, or their attorneys, who plan to attend the Meeting are asked to arrive at the venue 15 minutes prior to the time designated for the Meeting, if possible, so that their holding may be checked against the Company's share register and their attendance recorded. To be effective a certified copy of the Power of Attorney, or the original Power of Attorney, must be received by the Company in the same manner, and by the same time as outlined for proxy forms below.

Attending and voting online

Shareholders, or their attorneys, who wish to participate online may do so at:

https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_qFvbsoxtT 1ymo0PEJCjI6Q

If you choose to participate in the Meeting online, registration will be open at 12:00 (AWST). You can log in to the Meeting by navigating to

https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_qFvbsoxtT 1ymo0PEJCjI6Q then entering the SRN/HIN and postcode of the holding that you are representing.

Attending the Meeting online enables Shareholders to view the Meeting live and also to ask text-based questions and cast votes in the real time poll, at the appropriate time. Please note that if you join the Meeting online as a Shareholder, any proxy vote previously lodged will be withdrawn.

Questions at the meeting

Please note, only Shareholders may ask questions online once they have been verified. It may not be possible to respond to all questions. Shareholders are encouraged to lodge questions prior to the Meeting.

A Shareholder who is entitled to vote at the Meeting may submit a written question to the Company in advance of the Meeting.

We ask that all pre-Meeting questions be received by the Company no later than five (5) business days before the date of the Meeting, being Wednesday, 22 November 2023. Any questions should be directed to the Company Secretary at [email protected].

Voting by a Corporation

A Shareholder that is a corporation may appoint an individual to act as its representative and vote in person at

the Meeting. The appointment must comply with the requirements of section 250D of the Corporations Act. The representative should bring to the Meeting evidence of his or her appointment, including any authority under which it is signed.

Voting by proxy

  • A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies. Each proxy will have the right to vote on a poll and also to speak at the Meeting.

  • The appointment of the proxy may specify the proportion or the number of votes that the proxy may exercise. Where more than one proxy is appointed and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder's votes each proxy may exercise, the votes will be divided equally among the proxies (i.e. where there are two proxies, each proxy may exercise half of the votes).

  • A proxy need not be a Shareholder.

  • The proxy can be either an individual or a body corporate.

  • If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may generally vote, or abstain from voting, as they think fit. However, where a Restricted Voter is appointed as a proxy, the proxy may only vote on Resolutions 1, 4, 5, 6 and 7 in accordance with a direction on how the proxy is to vote or, if the proxy is the Chair of the Meeting and the appointment expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy even if the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

  • Should any resolution, other than those specified in this Notice, be proposed at the Meeting, a proxy may vote on that resolution as they think fit.

  • If a proxy is instructed to abstain from voting on an item of business, they are directed not to vote on the Shareholder’s behalf on the poll and the Shares that are the subject of the proxy appointment will not be counted in calculating the required majority.

  • Shareholders who return their Proxy Forms with a direction how to vote, but who do not nominate the identity of their proxy, will be taken to have appointed the Chair of the Meeting as their proxy to vote on their behalf. If a Proxy Form is returned but the nominated proxy does not attend the Meeting, the Chair of the Meeting will act in place of the nominated proxy and vote in accordance with any instructions. Proxy appointments in favour of the Chair of the Meeting, the secretary or any Director that do not contain a direction how to vote will be used, where possible, to support each of the Resolutions proposed in this Notice, provided

7

they are entitled to cast votes as a proxy under the voting exclusion rules which apply to some of the proposed Resolutions. These rules are explained in this Notice.

Shareholders should consider these documents and raise any matters of interest with the Directors when this item is being considered.

No resolution is required to be moved in respect of this item.

Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the Annual General Meeting to ask questions and make comments on the accounts and on the management of the Company.

The Chair will also give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask the Auditor or the Auditor’s representative questions relevant to:

the independence of the Auditor by the Company in relation to the conduct of the audit.

The Chair will also allow a reasonable opportunity for the Auditor or their representative to answer any written questions submitted to the Auditor under section 250PA of the Corporations Act.

1 Resolution 1 – Non Binding Resolution to adopt Remuneration Report

1.1 Background

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires the Company to put to its Shareholders a resolution that the Remuneration Report as disclosed in the Company's 2023 Annual Report be adopted. The Remuneration Report is set out in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report and is also available on the Company’s website at www.sandfire.com.au.

The vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

However, if at least 25% of the votes cast are against adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put a resolution to the second Annual General Meeting ( Spill Resolution ), to approve calling a general meeting ( Spill Meeting ). If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must then convene a Spill Meeting within 90 days of the second Annual General Meeting. All of the Directors

9

who were in office when the applicable Directors’ Report was approved, other than the Managing Director, will need to stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting if they wish to continue as Directors.

At the Company’s last annual general meeting held on 30 November 2022, 99.44% of the votes cast in respect of the resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2022 were voted in favour of that resolution. Accordingly, even if at least 25% of the votes cast on this Resolution are against adoption of the Remuneration Report it will not result in the Company putting a Spill Resolution to Shareholders.

The Remuneration Report explains the Board policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to Directors, sets out remuneration details for each Director and any service agreements and sets out the details of any equity based compensation.

The Chair will give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

1.2 Voting

Note that a voting exclusion applies to this Resolution in the terms set out in the Notice.

Shareholders are urged to carefully read the Proxy Form and provide a direction to the proxy on how to vote on this Resolution.

The Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of this Resolution.

2 Resolution 2 – Election of Mr Paul Harvey as a Director

2.1 Overview

Resolution 2 seeks approval for the election of Mr Paul Harvey as a Director with effect from the end of the Meeting.

Clause 6.3(d) of the Constitution provides that the Directors may at any time appoint a person to be a Director, either to fill a casual vacancy, or as an addition to the existing Directors, but so that the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution. Any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following Annual General Meeting and is then eligible for election but shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation (if any) at that meeting.

Mr Harvey, having been appointed by the Board on 12 September 2023, retires from office in accordance with the requirements of clause 6.1(e) of the Constitution and Listing Rule 14.4 and submits himself for election in accordance with clause 6.1(i) of the Constitution.

If the Resolution is passed, Mr Harvey will be elected and will continue to act as a Director. If the Resolution is not passed, Mr Harvey will not be elected and will cease to act as a Director.

2.2 Qualifications

Mr Harvey is an experienced resources executive, with operational and projects leadership built from over 35 years’ global experience in the resources sector. His recent past roles include being a senior leader at BHP (2005-2015) and South32 (2015-2020), with four years as the latter’s Chief Operating Officer with accountability for global manganese, base metals and coal for steel operations, as well as all supporting technical and project functions. He holds a Bachelor of Engineering (Mining) from the Western Australian School of Mines, is a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and is a graduate and member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

In addition to his role as a Director, Mr Harvey has been appointed as a member of the Sandfire Audit and Finance Committee, the Risk and Sustainability Committee, and the Nominations Committee.

10

2.3 Other material directorships

Currently, Mr Harvey is also a non-executive director of De Grey Mining Limited (where he is the chair of the Sustainability Committee and a member of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee), an advisory committee member at Wyloo Metals Pty Ltd, and senior operating partner at Appian Capital Advisory.

2.4 Independence

The Board considers that Mr Harvey, if elected, will continue to be classified as an independent director.

2.5 Board recommendation

The Company confirms it has conducted appropriate checks into Mr Harvey’s background and experience and those checks have not revealed any information of concern.

Based on Mr Harvey’s relevant experience and qualifications, the members of the Board, in the absence of Mr Harvey, support the election of Mr Harvey as a director of the Company.

2.6 Voting

Shareholders are urged to carefully read the Proxy Form and provide a direction to the proxy on how to vote on this Resolution.

The Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of this Resolution.

3 Resolution 3 – Re-election of Ms Jennifer Morris OAM as a Director

4 Resolution 4 – Grant of FY2024 LTI Rights to Mr Brendan Harris (or his nominee(s))

4.1 Overview

Mr Harris is eligible to participate in long term incentive ( LTI ) arrangements offered by the Company from time to time, and in particular, has been offered 249,810 FY2024 LTI Rights under the Company’s FY2024 LTI plan, each with a nil exercise price and expiry date of 3 years from the date of issue.

The grant of these FY2024 LTI Rights is the subject of Resolution 4. The maximum grant value for the FY2024 LTI Rights is $1,500,000 ( FY2024 LTI Award ).

4.2 Related Party Transactions Generally

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the giving of the financial benefits falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provision; or

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Shareholder approval is obtained prior to the giving of the financial benefit and the benefit is given within 15 months after obtaining such approval.

For the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, Mr Harris is a related party of the Company.

In relation to the proposed grant of FY2024 LTI Rights to Mr Harris (or his nominee(s)), the Board has formed the view that Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required

12

on the basis that these Securities form part of the remuneration package for Mr Harris and are considered reasonable remuneration for the purposes of section 211 of the Corporations Act.

The grant of the FY2024 LTI Rights encourages Mr Harris to have a greater involvement in the achievement of the Company’s objectives, provides an incentive to strive to that end by participating in the future growth and prosperity of the Company through Share ownership and is consistent with the LTI plan offered to other key Sandfire executives. The Directors consider that the incentives intended for Mr Harris represented by the grant of these FY2024 LTI Rights are a cost effective and efficient means for the Company to provide a reward and an incentive, as opposed to alternative forms of incentive, such as the payment of additional cash compensation.

The number of FY2024 LTI Rights to be granted to Mr Harris were determined by the Company based upon a consideration of:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Sandfire’s Executive Reward Framework;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the volume weighted average price of Sandfire shares for the 30-calendar days prior to the start of the performance period (i.e. up to and including 30 June 2023), being $6.0045;

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the extensive experience and reputation of Mr Harris within the mining industry;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Directors’ wish to ensure that the remuneration offered to Mr Harris is competitive with market standards and practice. The Directors have considered the proposed number of FY2024 LTI Rights to be granted will ensure that Mr Harris’ overall remuneration is in line with market practice;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • attracting and retaining suitably qualified Directors; and

==> picture [10 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • incentives to attract and ensure continuity of service of Directors who have appropriate knowledge and expertise, while maintaining the Company’s cash reserves. The Company does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the FY2024 LTI Rights upon the terms proposed.

4.3 Mr Harris’ total remuneration package

Mr Harris’ FY2024 LTI Award grant value ($1,500,000) (subject to Resolution 4 being passed) is equal to 125% of his total fixed remuneration for FY2024 (being $1,200,000).

Mr Harris’ fixed annual remuneration (including superannuation) and the total financial benefit that may be granted to him as a result of the grant of the grant of the FY2024 LTI Rights (subject to Resolution 4 being passed), are as follows:

Director Fixed Remuneration p.a.
(A$)
Max. value of FY2024
incentives
Maximum total
financial benefit
(A$)
Mr Harris $1,200,000 (inclusive of
superannuation)
$1,500,000 (value of
FY2024 LTI Rights)1
$900,000 potential
short-term incentive
award value2
$3,600,000

1. The grant of the FY2024 LTI Rights is subject to Resolution 4 being passed. The deemed issue price of $6.0045 per FY2024 LTI Right is based on the 30-day VWAP up to and including 30 June 2023, being the same deemed issue price as the FY2024 Rights which the Company granted to other senior employees under the FY2024 LTI plan. The FY2024 LTI Rights will be tested over a three-year period from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2026 and will automatically exercise once vested.

13

2. Mr Harris’ FY2024 short-term incentive is payable in cash, equity or a combination, at the Board’s election. If the Board elects to pay all or part of any short-term incentive to Mr Harris in equity, that grant will be subject to Shareholder approval.

4.4 Consequences of passing or not passing the Resolution

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will grant the FY2024 LTI Rights to Mr Harris (or his nominee(s)).

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not grant the FY2024 LTI Rights to Mr Harris and will need to consider alternative ways to remunerate and incentivise Mr Harris, including by payment of cash.

4.5 Information Requirements – Listing Rules 10.14 and 10.15

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that the Company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme:

  • a director of the Company (Listing Rule 10.14.1);

  • an Associate of a director of the Company (Listing Rule 10.14.12); or

  • a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its Shareholders (Listing Rule 10.14.3),

unless it obtains the approval of its Shareholders.

The proposed grant of FY2024 LTI Rights to Mr Harris (or his nominee(s)) falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

  • 5 Resolution 5 – Adoption of Equity Incentive Plan

5.1 Background

The Directors considered that it was desirable to update its incentive plan under which persons who are employees or directors of, or individuals who provide services to, a Group Company ( Employees ) may be offered the opportunity to subscribe for Shares, Options or Performance Rights ( Awards ) in the Company in order to provide increased flexibility and to strengthen links between the Company and its eligible Employees. Accordingly, the Directors adopted the Sandfire Resources Limited Equity Incentive Plan ( Plan ).

The Plan updates will align the Company’s equity plans with market practice. The key changes include:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • providing the Board with the authority to determine the terms and conditions of a salary sacrifice arrangement for which the Awards are offered in lieu of cash remuneration;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • providing for the cashless exercise of Options (in lieu of paying the aggregate exercise price to exercise the options in cash);

15

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • removing the 14-day period within which the Board was previously required to exercise its discretion upon an ‘Event’ occurring (being those events which may lead to a change of control, such as the making of a recommended takeover bid, and as set out in further detail in Annexure A to this Explanatory Memorandum). Under the amended terms of the Plan, the Board may exercise its discretion described in Annexure A to this Explanatory Memorandum from the occurrence of an ‘Event’ until such time that control in the Company actually changes;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • amending the treatment of vested Awards held by persons who cease employment with the Company (other than as a result of termination for cause). Under the terms of the previous version of the Plan, any vested awards held by such employees must be exercised within 90 days after ceasing employment, unless the Board determines otherwise. To align with market practice, the amended terms of the Plan provide that those vested awards remain on foot until their expiry date, without the Board having to exercise its discretion to that effect; and

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • aligning the Plan with the requirements of Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act, which were introduced in late 2022.

Subject to Resolution 6 being passed, the Company intends for the changes to the Plan (as described above) to be given retrospective effect to the Awards which the Company has offered under the previous version of the Plan and which remain on foot as at the date of this Notice to ensure efficient and streamlined administration of the Plan moving forward. Further details are set out in section 6.1 below.

The Plan is designed to provide incentives to eligible Employees of the Company and to recognise their contribution to the Company's success. Under the Company's current circumstances, the Directors consider that the proposed Awards to eligible Employees under the Plan are a cost effective and efficient incentive for the Company as opposed to alternative forms of incentives such as cash bonuses or increased remuneration. To enable the Company to secure Employees who can assist the Company in achieving its objectives, it is necessary to provide remuneration and incentives to such personnel. The Plan is designed to achieve this objective, by encouraging continued improvement in performance over time and by encouraging personnel to acquire and retain significant shareholdings in the Company.

5.2 Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13

Shareholder approval is required if any issue of Awards pursuant to the Plan is to fall within the exception to the calculation of the 15% limit imposed by Listing Rule 7.1 on the number of securities which may be issued without Shareholder approval. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b) which provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme that has been approved by the holders of ordinary securities within three years of the date of issue.

Prior Shareholder approval will be required before any Director or related party of the Company can participate in the Plan.

Under the Plan, the Board may offer to eligible Employees the opportunity to subscribe for such number of Awards in the Company as the Board may decide and on the terms set out in the rules of the Plan, a summary of which is set out in Annexure A to this Explanatory Memorandum and in the offer made to the eligible Employee under the Plan. Awards granted under the Plan will be offered to eligible Employees on the basis of the Board’s view of the contribution of that Employee to the Company.

The maximum number of Awards proposed to be issued under the Plan following Shareholder approval is 22,844,596 Awards (being equal to the 5% cap on issues under the Plan imposed by section 1100V of the Corporations Act), however it is not expected that this number of Awards will be issued over the three years from the date of the Meeting. Once this number is reached, the Company will need to seek fresh approval from Shareholders if the subsequent issue of Awards is to fall within Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13.

16

5.3 Consequences of passing the Resolution

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Awards under the Plan up the maximum number set out in this Notice. In addition, those issues of Shares, Options and Performance Rights will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 .

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed to issue Shares, Options or Performance Rights under the Plan, however the issue of those Shares, Options or Performance Rights will not fall within the exception to the calculation of the 15% limit imposed by Listing Rule 7.1 and therefore effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities which may be issued without Shareholder approval.

In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b), the following information is provided to Shareholders:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • a summary of the terms of the Plan is set out contained in Annexure A of this Explanatory Memorandum;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • a previous version of the Plan was approved by Shareholders on 27 November 2020. A total of 3,297,787 have been issued pursuant to the previous version of the Plan (this includes 2,214,697 Awards which were issued with Shareholder approval to directors of the Company under Listing Rule 10.14 and 155,387 Awards which were issued under the Company’s available capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 at the relevant time (and therefore, not under Exception 13 to Listing Rule 13(b)); and

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the maximum number of Awards proposed to be issued under the Plan following approval of this Resolution 5 is 22,844,596 (being equal to the 5% cap on issues under the Plan imposed by section 1100V of the Corporations Act), however, it is not expected that this number of Awards will be issued over the three years following the date of the Meeting.

6 Resolution 6 – Proposed amendments to Existing Awards to reflect the Plan

6.1 Background

As noted at section 5.3 above, the Board has approved various changes to the Plan (which are summarised in that section) to align the Company’s equity plans with market practice.

Under the terms of the Plan, any amendments to the Plan may be given retrospective effect, if so determined by the Board. The Board has resolved for the changes to the Plan summarised in section 5.3 above to have retrospective effect to the Awards which the Company has offered under the previous version of the Plan and which remain on foot as at the date of this Notice ( Existing Awards ).

The retrospective application of the changes to the Plan will enable the efficient and streamlined administration of the Plan moving forward in the following circumstances (each as described in further detail in section 5.3 above):

17

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the changes to the Plan remove the 14-day period within which the Board was previously required to exercise its discretion upon an ‘Event’ occurring (being those events which may lead to a change of control). Under the amended terms of the Plan, the Board may exercise its discretion from the occurrence of an ‘Event’ until such time that control in the Company actually changes. It is important that this change to the Plan is given retrospective effect to the terms of the Existing Awards so that the same process upon an ‘Event’ occurring applies to all Awards on issue at the relevant time;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Existing Awards held by persons who cease to be employed with the Company (other than as a result of termination for cause) will remain on foot until their expiry date, rather than lapse within 90 days after ceasing employment, unless the Board determines otherwise. The giving of retrospective effect to this change to the Plan will assist in the Company’s administration of the Plan upon holders ceasing to be employed by streamlining the process for all Awards on issue (including the Existing Awards, unless their specific terms provided an alternative treatment upon ceasing employment, such as the Existing Awards held by Mr Harris as described in the Company’s notice of general meeting held on 21 March 2023); and

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • cashless exercise will be available for all Awards.

The balance of the changes to the Plan summarised in section 5.3 above are relevant to the offer of new Awards and therefore their retrospective effect will have no impact on the Existing Awards.

6.2 Existing Awards

The Existing Awards are as follows:

  • 3,243,789 unlisted zero exercise price Options expiring 17 July 2026;

  • 687,061 unlisted zero exercise price Options expiring 7 October 2027;

  • 171,806 rights expiring 24 November 2024; and

  • 1,100,000 ‘sign-on rights’ issued to Mr Harris as described in the Company’s notice of general meeting held on 21 March 2023.

6.3 Listing Rule 6.23.4

Listing Rule 6.23.4 provides that a company must obtain shareholder approval to make a change to the terms of options on issue which is not prohibited under Listing Rule 6.23.3.

Listing Rule 6.23.3 provides that a change which has the effect of reducing the exercise price, increasing the period for exercise or increasing the number of securities received on exercise cannot be made. The changes to the Plan, and therefore the proposed amendments to the terms of the Existing Awards if those changes are given retrospective effect, are not prohibited by Listing Rule 6.23.3.

Accordingly, the Company seeks Shareholder approval for the proposed amendment to the terms of the Existing Awards for the purposes of Listing Rule 6.23.4.

6.4 Consequences of passing or not passing the Resolution

If Resolution 6 is passed, Shareholders will be approving amendments to the terms of all Existing Awards on issue to align with the amendments summarised in section 5.1 for the purposes of Listing Rule 6.23.4, with effect from the date of this Meeting. Importantly, all Awards on issue from the date of the Meeting will therefore be treated in the same manner upon an ‘Event’ occurring which may lead to a change in the control of the Company.

18

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to give retrospective effect to the changes to the Plan to the Existing Awards. This is likely to lead to complexity and additional administrative burden upon an ‘Event’ occurring which may lead to a change in the control of the Company and upon the holders of Awards ceasing employment with the Company.

6.5 Voting

Shareholders are urged to carefully read the Proxy Form and provide a direction to the proxy on how to vote on this Resolution.

The Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of this Resolution.

7 Resolution 7 – Approval of leaving entitlements

7.1 Overview

Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act restricts the benefits that can be given without shareholder approval to individuals who hold or held a managerial or executive office (as defined in the Corporations Act) on leaving employment with the Company or its related bodies corporate.

Subject to Resolution 6 being passed, Shareholder approval is also sought for all purposes, including Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act, in respect of any termination benefits which may be provided to the Company’s officers and individuals who hold, or held in the last three years prior to ceasing employment, a managerial or executive office in the Company or a related body corporate ( Relevant Executives ).

If Resolution 7 is passed, it will be effective for 3 years from the date of the Meeting. If considered appropriate, the Board will seek a new approval from Shareholders at a future general meeting once the 3-year period has elapsed or if circumstances regarding potential leaving entitlements and termination benefits changes.

This means that, if Resolution 7 is passed, the approval will be effective if:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Board (or its delegates) exercise discretion as outlined below in connection with the cessation of employment of a Relevant Executive; or

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Group executes a deed of separation (or equivalent document) with the Relevant Executive in respect to the cessation of their employment; or

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Relevant Executive ceases employment with the Group, before the end of the 3-year period.

7.2 Rationale for seeking approval

The approval sought pursuant to Resolution 7 is in relation to the Group’s obligations to Relevant Executives and to enable the Group to operate its remuneration programs and exercise the Board’s rights under the Plan in circumstances where Relevant Executive’s cease employment.

The approval sought will enable the Board to:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • facilitate the execution of the Company’s remuneration policy as outlined in the Remuneration Report (and any future iterations of that policy in the three-year period to which this approval applies);

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • deliver Relevant Executives the benefits to which they are contractually entitled, and to which they are entitled under the terms of the Plan to the extent they (or their nominees) hold Awards;

19

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • attract and retain future Relevant Executives on market competitive terms; and

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • preserve the discretion of the Board to determine the most appropriate termination package for Relevant Executives at the time of ceasing employment, having regard to their contribution to the Group and the circumstances in which they are ceasing employment.

If Resolution 7 is passed, this will not guarantee that a Relevant Executive will receive any of the potential termination benefits described below. The Company is conscious of the need to strike an appropriate balance between ensuring fair treatment of Relevant Executives on cessation of employment and avoiding excessive termination pay-outs.

7.3 Potential leaving entitlements

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval for potential leaving entitlements or termination benefits, which may include (but are not limited to) the following:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • employment contract benefits : under their employment contract, Relevant Executives may become entitled to payments in lieu of notice and restraint payments upon ceasing employment. The notice periods for the current Relevant Executives range from 6 to 12 months, with the contracts allowing for payment in lieu of notice in certain circumstances;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • death and disablement benefits : under Sandfire’s Group Salary Continuance Plan, all Executives are entitled to a lump sum payment up to a maximum of $90,000 where employment ceases due to death or disablement;

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • payments under law: there may be other amounts due under applicable laws, regulation and local practice of the jurisdiction in which the Relevant Executive is employed, including redundancy payments;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Plan entitlements : there are a range of potential leaving entitlements provided for under the terms of the Plan for Awards held by Relevant Executives (or their nominees) (which includes any termination benefits payable in connection with the FY2024 LTI Rights proposed to be issued to Mr Harris (or his nominee(s)) pursuant to Resolution 4).

The ordinary treatment of Awards upon a Relevant Executive ceasing employment is:

  • (i) where an eligible employee ceases employment due to his/her resignation (other than in special circumstances, as summarised in Annexure A) or as a result of termination for cause or fraudulent or dishonest conduct, any unvested Awards will lapse upon ceasing employment;

  • (ii) where an eligible employee ceases employment for any reason not noted in paragraph (i) above, a pro rata number of his/her unvested Awards (based on the proportion of the performance period that has elapsed at the time of ceasing employment) will remain on foot to be tested at the end of the relevant performance period; and

  • (iii) where an eligible employee ceases employment, his/her vested Awards must be exercised prior to the applicable expiry date, after which time they will lapse if not exercised prior to such date,

however, the Board has discretion to determine that:

  • (iv) all or such other number of unvested Awards will vest to the extent that the relevant vesting conditions have been satisfied when tested following the end of the relevant performance period;

20

  • (v) all or such other number of unvested Awards will vest to the extent that the relevant vesting conditions have been satisfied when tested at the time of the Relevant Executive ceasing employment;

  • (vi) any applicable vesting conditions or performance periods in respect of all or some of the unvested Awards will be modified or waived; or

  • (vii) some or all of the unvested Awards lapse.

This summary is not intended to provide an exhaustive list of every potential benefit that could become payable to Relevant Executives in every scenario and in every jurisdiction. Part of the reason the Company is seeking the Shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 6 is to preserve a degree of flexibility for the Board to tailor the termination arrangements for Relevant Executives having regard to the circumstances of the cessation of employment and within the parameters imposed by:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Company’s remuneration policy (as set out in the Remuneration Report);

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Relevant Executive’s employment contract;

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the terms of particular Awards granted under the Plan (to the extent they differ in approach to their treatment upon ceasing employment); and

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • prevailing laws, regulations, market practice and governance expectations in the relevant jurisdiction at the time the Relevant Executive ceases employment.

7.4 Value of termination benefits

The value of any leaving entitlements that the Board may give under the Plan to Relevant Executives cannot be determined in advance. This is because various matters will, or are likely to, affect that value, including:

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the circumstances in which the Relevant Executive ceases employment, and the extent to which they served the applicable notice period;

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Relevant Executive’s base salary at the relevant time;

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the jurisdiction in which the Relevant Executive is based and applicable laws in that jurisdiction; with respect to potential termination benefits payable in connection with Awards offered under the Plan:

  • (i) the Company’s Share price at the time of ceasing employment;

  • (ii) the risk-free rate of return in Australia and the estimated volatility of the Company’s Shares on ASX at the relevant time;

  • (iii) the status of vesting conditions attaching to the relevant Awards at the relevant time; and

  • (iv) the number of unvested Awards held by the Relevant Executive (or their nominees) at the relevant time, and the number which will vest in accordance with the terms of the Plan and/or at the discretion of the Board; and

  • (e) any changes in law.

7.5 Effect of passing Resolution

holding a managerial or executive office with the Company or a related body corporate, or who have held a managerial or executive office in the 3 years before their termination.

If the Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to give termination benefits of the above nature in connection with any current or future person holding a managerial or executive office in the Company or a related body corporate, or who have held a managerial or executive office in the 3 years before their termination ceasing to be employed unless the Company obtains future Shareholder approval or another exception to the restriction in section 200B of the Corporations Act applies.

Annexure A – Key Terms of the Plan

Term Detail
Awards The Board may, in its absolute discretion, operate the Plan and invite any
Employee or their nominee (Participant) of the Company to apply for a grant of
Shares, Options or Performance Rights (Awards) upon the terms of the Plan.
Invitations made under the Plan will contain specific terms and conditions in
addition to those under the Plan, as determined by the Board and terms may
vary for different Participants. Unless otherwise stated in the invitation to a
Participant, a Participant is not required to pay for a grant of Awards. Awards
are not quoted on ASX, however, application will be made to ASX for official
quotation of any Shares issued for the purposes of the Plan (including any
Shares underlying the offer of Options and Performance Rights under the Plan).
Limits Offers made under the Plan which require the payment of monetary
consideration by the Participant in respect of the issue, transfer or exercise of
an Award (including any salary sacrifice towards an Award) are subject to an
issue cap of 5% (when aggregated with all other offers accepted or capable of
acceptance under the Plan in the previous three years, whether they involve
monetary consideration or not) of the number of Shares on issue (as adjusted
or increased as permitted by law and under the Constitution from time to time).
No offer will be made under the Plan that results in a Participant or its
associates’ voting power exceeding 10%.
Entitlements No shareholder rights, including to vote, receive dividends or any other rights of
a shareholder attach to Awards until the Awards have vested, exercised and
Shares have been allocated.
Dealing A Participant cannot deal with an Award except with the consent of the Board or
by force of law (e.g. death or bankruptcy, etc).
Vesting and
exercise
The Board will determine the period (Performance Period) and applicable
conditions (Vesting Conditions) for the vesting of Awards and whether the
Performance Conditions have been met. Awards will generally vest to the
extent that (subject to the circumstances described in_Cessation of employment_
below):
the Board determines at the end of the Performance Period that the
applicable Vesting Conditions that apply to the Awards are satisfied; and
the Participant remains employed by the Company until the Board
determines the Awards have vested.
The Board will test the Vesting Conditions, and based on the results, determine
the number of Awards that vest (if any). Once an Award has vested, a
Participant will have a period (as determined by the Board) to exercise the
Award. Once exercised, a Participant will be issued Shares in the Company,
subject to the circumstances described in_Cessation of employment_below.
In lieu of paying the aggregate exercise price to exercise Options, the Board
may permit a Participant to elect to receive, without payment of cash or other
consideration, upon surrender of the applicable portion of exercisable Options
to the Company, a number of Shares determined in accordance with a cashless
exercise formula.
Cessation of
employment
If the Participant ceases employment with the Company before the end of the
Performance Period, the treatment of their Awards will depend on the
circumstances of cessation of employment.

24

Term Detail
Where the Participant’s employment ceases before the end of the Performance
Period for cause or resignation (other than special circumstances, being total
and permanent disablement, mental illness, terminal illness or death) their
unvested Awards will lapse at cessation, subject to the Board’s overriding
discretion to determine an alternate treatment in accordance with the Plan.
Where the Participant ceases employment before the end of the Performance
Period in other circumstances, subject to Board discretion, all or such other
number of the Participant’s unvested Awards (based on the proportion of the
Performance Period that has elapsed at the time of cessation) continue ‘on-foot’
until their expiry date and will be tested at the end of the Performance Period,
vesting only to the extent that the Vesting Conditions have been satisfied
(ignoring any service related conditions).
The Board maintains discretion to determine, in respect of any unvested
Awards, that all (or such other number) Awards will vest to the extent that the
relevant conditions have been satisfied, that any applicable conditions or
periods in respect of some or all Awards will be waived or modified or that all
(or such other number) Awards will immediately lapse.
If the Participant is terminated for cause all vested but unexercised Awards
lapse (or will be subject to clawback), subject to the Board’s overriding
discretion.
Clawback Where it is the Board’s opinion that a Participant has or will obtain an unfair
benefit as a result of certain actions or circumstances, the Board has the
discretion to alter the applicable Performance Period or Vesting Conditions,
deem Awards not vested lapse and/or where shares have been issued,
clawback the shares, or if sold, require the Participant to repay the proceeds of
sale.
Control and
other events
Upon an ‘Event’, the Board has the discretion (acting reasonably) to determine
that unvested Awards vest, lapse or continue ‘on-foot’ subject to other
conditions or periods, and may determine whether any conditions are varied or
waived. Where the Board determines that Awards vest, such Awards must be
exercised within 30 days from the event, subject to Board discretion.
An ’Event’ means:
a takeover bid being made for the Company which is recommended by
the Board;
a court convening a meeting of Shareholders to be held to vote on a
proposed scheme of arrangement pursuant to which control of the
majority of the Shares in the Company may change;
a notice is sent to Shareholders of the Company proposing a resolution
for the winding up of the Company; or
any transaction or event is proposed that, in the opinion of the Board,
may result in a person becoming entitled to exercise control over the
Company.
Where the Board does not exercise the above discretion upon an ‘Event’, and
an actual change of control of the Company occurs, a pro-rata number of a
Participant’s unvested Awards vest based on the proportion of the Performance
Period that has passed and the applicable Vesting Conditions that have been
satisfied.

25

Term Detail
Where there is a capital reorganisation, bonus issue or rights issue the Board
intends to exercise its discretion to ensure that the number of Awards a
Participant would receive is adjusted accordingly.
Where the Company divests a material asset the Board may make special rules
that apply to Awards to take into account the divestment or to deem the
Participant remains considered a Participant for a specific period.
Salary Sacrifice The Board may determine the terms and conditions of a salary sacrifice
arrangement for which Awards are offered in lieu of an Employee’s
remuneration. Any such salary sacrifice arrangements will be set out in the
relevant offer letter and subject to the requirements of Division 1A of Part 7.12
of the Corporations Act.
Amendments to
Plan
Subject to and in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Board may amend,
revoke, add to or vary the Plan (without the necessity of obtaining the prior or
subsequent consent or approval of Shareholders of the Company), provided
that rights or entitlements in respect of any Option, Performance Right or Share
granted before the date of the amendment shall not be reduced or adversely
affected, unless the amendment is made primarily for the purpose of complying
with present or future laws applicable to the Plan or the Group, to correct any
manifest error or mistake, or with the consent of the Participant affected by the
amendment.
The Board may determine that any amendments to the Plan be given
retrospective effect.

==> picture [12 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Vesting Conditions: Mr Harris must meet the following vesting conditions for the FY2024 LTI Rights to vest ( Vesting Conditions ):

  • (i) Service Condition: subject to paragraph (j) below, Mr Harris must be employed by the Company from the grant date until the end of the Performance period.

  • (ii) Performance Conditions (each is measured over the three-year performance period) :

Performance Conditions % of FY2024 LTI Rights subject to this
Performance Condition
Sustainability (Climate) 10%
Relative TSR (Copper Peers) 30%
Relative TSR (ASX Constituents) 30%
Cash Earnings 20%
Portfolio Optimisation 10%

(A) Sustainability (Climate) (10%)

Target: on track to achieve a 35% reduction in our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2035 from our 2024 baseline.

Achievement of this Performance Condition will result in 100% of the FY2024 LTI Rights allocated to this Performance Condition vesting. The Board will assess performance against this measure based on management’s ability to make material

27

progress towards the target. Progress against this measure will be disclosed in the Remuneration Report on an annual basis.

(B) Relative TSR (Copper Peers) (30%)

Target: relative total shareholder return performance measured to an agreed comparator peer group over the same 3-year measure period, vesting as follows:

  • 1 less than or equal to the 50[th] percentile – zero FY2024 LTI Rights vest;

  • 2 greater than the 50[th] to the 75[th] percentile – proportional vesting from 50% to 100% of FY2024 LTI Rights; and

  • 3 equal to or above the 75[th] percentile – 100% of FY2024 LTI Rights under this Performance Condition vest.

The comparator peer group will comprise:

29Metals (ASX) Capstone Copper Corp (TSX)
Aeris Resources (ASX) First Quantum Minerals (TSX)
Antofagasta (LSE) Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE)
Atalaya Mining (TSX) Hudbay Minerals (NYSE)
Aurelia Metals (ASX) Lundin Mining Corp (TSX)
Boliden AB (XSTO) Nevada Copper Corp (TSX)

The comparator peer group of companies excludes Sandfire, Listed Investment Companies/managed funds and AVZ Minerals, which was suspended from trading as of 30 June 2023.

(D)

Cash Earnings (20%)

Target: Cash Earnings (10% weighting) and Adjusted Cash Earnings (10% weighting), calculated according to an agreed formula, where:

28

  • 1 Cash Earnings means Underlying Group EBITDA[1] add back Underlying exploration and evaluation expenses less net interest paid less net income tax payments less sustaining capital expenditure; and

  • 2 Adjusted Cash Earnings means the Cash Earnings adjusted for fixed budgeted assumptions each year such as foreign exchange, power costs, commodity price and interest rates.

In each case, the vesting schedule will be as follows:

  • 1 below 97% of budget: number of FY2024 LTI Rights vesting based on the Board’s quantitative and qualitative assessment of performance;

  • 2 between 97% to 102% of budget – 75% of FY2024 LTI Rights; and

  • 3 between above 102% to 107% of budget – proportional vesting from 75% to 100% of FY2024 LTI Rights; and

  • 4 above 107% of budget – 100% of FY2024 LTI Rights under this Performance Condition vest.

(E) Portfolio Optimisation (10%)

The purpose of our Portfolio Optimisation measure is to ensure the Company is strongly placed to support the electrification and decarbonisation of the global economy through our ownership of two strategically valuable metal processing hubs in the Iberian Pyrite and Kalahari Copper Belts, and targeted development options. The Company will unlock significant additional value for all stakeholders by materially increasing reserves in the provinces we have chosen for their exploration potential.

Target: this will be indicated by achievement of all three of the below measures:

  • 1 Iberian Pyrite Belt: the Company has significantly extended the life of its strategically valuable MATSA metal processing hub by identifying additional reserves and created options for future development.

  • 2 Kalahari Copper Belt: the Company has significantly extended the life of its strategically valuable Motheo copper concentrator by identifying additional reserves and created options for future development.

  • 3 Development Options: having received the necessary development permits and completed its assessment of the Black Butte project, the Company has established the preferred pathway to unlock significant additional value for its stakeholders.

Achievement of this Performance Condition will result in 100% of the FY2024 LTI Rights allocated to this Performance Condition vesting.

The Board will assess performance against these measures based on management’s ability to make material progress towards the targets. Progress against this measure will be disclosed in the Remuneration Report on an annual basis.

1 Underlying Group EBITDA includes adjustments to exclude the effect of events that are not part of the Groups usual business activities. Underlying exploration and evaluation expense includes exploration and evaluation salaries that are disclosed separately on the face of the Consolidated Income Statement. A reconciliation of Underlying Earnings metrics to the statutory financial results presented in the Consolidated Income statement is included in Note 3 Segment information to the financial statements .

  • Plan: The rules of the Plan (as summarised in Annexure A) apply to the FY2024 LTI Rights. To the extent of any inconsistency between the rules of the Plan and the terms of the FY2024 LTI Rights (as summarised in this Annexure), the terms of the FY2024 LTI Rights shall prevail
