Corporate Governance Statement September 2021

The Board of Directors of Laneway Resources Limited (LNY or Company) is responsible for the corporate governance of the Company. The Board guides and monitors the business and affairs of Laneway Resources Limited on behalf of the shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable.

Laneway Resources Limited's Corporate Governance Statement is structured with reference to the Australian Securities Exchange Corporate Governance Council’s “Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations, 4th Edition”.

This statement has been approved by the Board of LNY and is current as at 30 September 2021. It relates to the company for the period up to the date of approval and also takes into account revisions in relation to the relisting process the company is undertaking as at the date of this report. The statement and information identified therein are available on the Company's website at www.makogold.com.au under the Corporate Governance section.

The Board endorses the ASX Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations, and has adopted corporate governance charters and policies reflecting those recommendations to the extent appropriate having regard to the size and circumstances of the Company. The Company does not presently comply with all of the ASX Best Practice Policies on Corporate Governance and by virtue of its size and the composition of the Board is unlikely to do so in the foreseeable future.

The Company is committed to ensuring that its corporate governance systems maintain the Company’s focus on transparency, responsibility and accountability. For further information on corporate governance policies adopted by Laneway Resources Limited, refer to our website: www.makogold.com.au

management; and

the role of executive management to manage the Company in accordance
with the direction and delegations of the Board and it is the responsibility
of the Board to oversee the activities of management in carrying out these
delegated duties.

1.5 - A listed entity should:

measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity in the
composition of its board, senior executives and workforce

objective for achieving gender diversity in the composition of its
board should be to have not less than 30% of its directors of
each gender within a specified period.
The Board has established a Diversity Policy which is publicly available on
the Company’s website. There are some aspects of the ASX
recommendations that are difficult to comply with due to the Company’s
size. The Board at this juncture has not set measurable objectives. This
policy will be reviewed as part of the annual compliance review to ensure
that the Diversity Policy is being progressed as required and to set
measurable objectives when appropriate for the Company.
The proportion of women employees in the whole organisation, women in
management positions and women on the board are as follows:
Measure
Female proportion

20%
Management

No – at this stage the Company has not set measurable objectives in
relation to achieving gender diversity. The company has had a small
number of staff over the past year. The Board considers that at this time
no efficiencies or other benefits would be gained by introducing
measurable objectives. In the future, as the Company grows and
increases in size and activity, the Board will consider the setting of
measurable objectives. The Company policy is to employ the best
person for the position being filled regardless of gender.

business. The risk procedures are under constant review as the Company’s
activities develop.

responsible for setting and reviewing the appropriateness of the nature and
amount of remuneration of Senior Management on a periodic basis by
reference to relevant market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring
maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high-quality
management team.
No - Due to the early stage of development and small size of the
Company, a separate remuneration committee was not considered to
add any efficiency to the process of determining the levels of
remuneration for the Directors and key executives. The Board
considers that it is more appropriate to set aside time at Board
meetings to specifically address matters that would ordinarily fall to a
remuneration committee. All matters of remuneration will continue to be
in accordance with Corporations Act requirements, especially in
respect of related party transactions. That is, none of the Directors
participate in any deliberations regarding their own remuneration or
related issues.
8.2 - A listed entity should separately disclose its policies and
practices regarding the remuneration of non-executive directors
and the remuneration of executive directors and other senior
executives.

statements in the Company’s annual report each year. The structure and
objectives of the remuneration policy and its links to the Company’s
performance is disclosed in the annual Directors’ Report.

the retention of a high-quality Board and Executive team by remunerating
Directors and other Key Management Personnel fairly and appropriately with
reference to relevant employment market conditions.
To assist in achieving this objective, the Board considers the nature and
amount of Executive Directors’ and Officers’ emoluments alongside the
company’s financial and operational performance.
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of
Executive and Non-Executive Director remuneration is separate and distinct.

==> picture [94 x 41] intentionally omitted <==

The Constitution of Laneway Resources Limited and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the Non-Executive Directors are entitled to remuneration as determined by the Company in a General Meeting to be apportioned among them in such manner as the Directors agree and, in default of agreement, equally. The maximum aggregate remuneration currently approved by shareholders for Directors’ fees is for a total of $200,000 per annum. If a Non-Executive Director performs extra services, which in the opinion of the Directors are outside the scope of the ordinary duties of the Director, the company may remunerate that Director by payment of a fixed sum determined by the Directors in addition to or instead of the remuneration referred to above. The remuneration of the Executive Directors and Senior Management may from time to time be fixed by the Board. The Board’s policy is to align Executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering long-term incentives. The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the position and is competitive in the market. Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Board, and the process consists of a review of company-wide and individual performance, relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internal, and where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices. In relation to the payment of bonuses, options and other incentive payments, discretion is exercised by the Board, having regard to the overall performance of the Company and the performance of the individual during the year.

ASX Recommendation Statement Commentary Compliant with ASX Recommendation / Explanation for Departure
8.3 - A listed entity which has an equity-based remuneration
scheme should:
(a) have a policy on whether participants are permitted to
enter into transactions (whether through the use of
derivatives or otherwise) which limit the economic risk of
participating in the scheme; and
(b) disclose that policy or a summary of it.
The Company Securities Trading Policy has the following provisions in
relation to margin lending arrangements and use of derivatives or hedging.
Directors and key management personnel must inform the Company
Secretary if they have entered into margin loans (including by way of security
lending) in respect of securities in LNY or in an associated entity or
subsidiary. The Company Secretary must in turn inform the Board of the
existence of such loans.
Directors and key management personnel may only sell all or part of the
securities held that are subject to the margin loan to meet a margin call in
accordance with the terms of the policy. Cases of hardship or special
circumstances will also be dealt with in accordance with this policy.
The use of derivative or hedging arrangements by directors or key
management personnel in relation to unvested LNY securities or vested LNY
