Dear Shareholder

Notice of Annual General Meeting

Thor Mining PLC ("Thor" or "the Company") is pleased to invite you to its annual general meeting to be held at the offices of WH Ireland Limited, 24 Martine Lane, London, EC4R 0DR on 10 November 2021 at 10am (Greenwich Mean Time).

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic if it is necessary for Thor to give further updates on the arrangements for the AGM, we will inform you through our investor website https://www.thormining.com/, via the ASX Market Announcements Platform and via the Regulatory News Service.

The purpose of the annual general meeting is to consider, and if thought fit, pass the resolutions contained in the notice. In addition to the usual resolutions which are considered at an annual general meeting, I would like to draw your attention to Resolutions 6 - 20.

Resolution 6 seeks shareholder approval, for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11, for the issue of 12,000,000 Share Options to Ms Nicole Galloway Warland. ASX Listing Rules requires a separate shareholder approval for the issue of these securities, as Ms Galloway Warland is a Director and, therefore a Related Party of the Company.

Resolution 7 seeks shareholder approval, for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11, for the issue of 8,000,000 Share Options to Mr Alastair Clayton. ASX Listing Rules requires a separate shareholder approval for the issue of these securities, as Mr Clayton is a Director and, therefore a Related Party of the Company.

Resolution 8 seeks shareholder approval, for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11, for the issue of 8,000,000 Share Options to Mr Mark Potter. ASX Listing Rules requires a separate shareholder approval for the issue of these securities, as Mr Potter is a Director and, therefore a Related Party of the Company.

Resolution 9 seeks shareholder approval, for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11, for the issue of 8,000,000 Share Options to Mr Mark McGeough. ASX Listing Rules requires a separate shareholder approval for the issue of these securities, as Mr McGeough is a Director and, therefore a Related Party of the Company

Resolutions 10 and 19 provide the directors with appropriate authorities, respectively, to issue shares and dis-apply pre-emption rights for existing shareholders and it is the normal procedure for such authority to be renewed at the annual general meeting. Resolution 10 is a requirement under English company law where the Company wishes to allot new relevant securities. Resolution 19 is a requirement under English company law where the Company wishes to do so for cash without first offering those securities on a pro rata basis to existing shareholders.


Resolution 20 seeks the approval from shareholders of a 10% placement facility. ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue equity securities up to 10% of its issued share capital in accordance with the terms set out in Resolution 15 (10% Placement Facility). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. At this Meeting, the Company is seeking shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue additional equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

Resolution 11 seeks shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to the issue and allotment of Ordinary Shares and accompanying options to Spencer Metals Pty Ltd as consideration for the completion of the acquisition of a 51% interest in a portion of exploration licences, located in South Australia in accordance with the Stage 1 Expenditure agreement.

Resolution 12 in accordance with the Second Option arrangement with Spencer Metals Pty Ltd seeks shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to the issue and allotment of Ordinary Shares and accompanying options to Spencer Metals Pty Ltd as consideration for the completion of the acquisition of a further 29% interest in a portion of exploration licences, located in South Australia, taking the total interest to 80%.

Resolutions 13-18 seek shareholder approval to ratify the issue of Equity Securities and Options that were previously issued within the Company's placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The ratification under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 has the effect of refreshing the Company's placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Thor's directors believe that all of the resolutions are in the best interests of the Company and recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the resolutions at the General Meeting, as the directors intend to do in respect of their own holdings of Ordinary Shares (to the extent they are not excluded from voting).

Yours faithfully

Mark Potter
Chairman

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires Shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a Related Party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a Related Party is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies. The granting of the Options in this resolution requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval because Ms Galloway Warland is the Managing Director and, therefore a Related Party of the Company under Listing Rule 10.11.1. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the Options in relation to this resolution.

The granting of the Options to Ms Galloway Warland is intended to act as an incentive to align with the Company's strategic plan, focusing on optimising performance and benefits flowing through to Shareholder returns.

Notes to Resolution 10 – Authority to Allot Shares

Subject to a limited number of exceptions, the directors of a company must not allot shares unless they have the authority to do so under section 551 of the Act. An authority to allot shares in relation to a public company must always be granted under Section 551 of the Act. Authority to allot shares pursuant to section 551 can be granted by either a provision in the articles of association of the company or by ordinary resolution passed by the members of the company.

An authority to allot given under section 551 must specify the maximum amount of shares that may be allotted under it. If the authority relates to the grant of rights to subscribe for shares, it must state the maximum amount of shares that can be allotted under those rights (section 551 (6), the Act). The authority must also specify an expiry date, which must not be more than five years from the date the resolution containing the authority is passed.

Once a section 551 authority to allot has expired, the directors may, if specifically permitted by the terms of the expired authority, allot shares or grant rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares pursuant to an offer or agreement made by the company before the authority expired (section 551 (7), the Act).

The Company now seeks approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to the issue and allotment of the Securities (Broker Shares), such that the Securities will not be counted towards the 15% limit on the issue of securities without Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 14 is passed, the securities will be deemed to have been issued with Shareholder approval and will therefore, not be counted towards the 15% limit.

If Resolution 14 is not passed, the securities will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date of the Securities.


ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders in respect of Resolution 14, for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4:

Notes to Resolution 18 – Ratification of Issue of Securities (Second Placement Securities)

The Company issued 123,076,923 Ordinary Shares as part of a placement, together with 61,538,461 Options, on the basis of one free Option for every two Shares allotted under the placement (Second Placement Securities). The securities were issued on the 17 August 2021 and 20 August 2021, utilising the current authorities conferred by Shareholders and available capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. The places were identified by the Board. The Company now seeks approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to the issue and allotment of the securities, such that the securities will not be counted towards either the 15% limit on the issue of securities without Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, or the 10% limit on the issue of securities pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

If Resolution 18 is passed, the securities will be deemed to have been issued with Shareholder approval and will therefore, not be counted towards the 15% limit or 10% limit.

ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders in respect of Resolution 18, for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4:

(a) the Second Placement Securities were issued and allotted to places identified by the Company's Board. None of the places are a Related Party of the Company;

(b) a total of 184,615,384 securities (comprising 123,076,923 Ordinary Shares, together with 61,538,461 Options). The securities were issued on 17 August 2021 and 20 August 2021, pursuant to the ASX announcement on 12 August 2021;

26


(f) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of General Meeting.

Notes to Resolution 19 – Disapplication of pre-emption Rights

Under section 561 of the Act, a company proposing to allot equity securities must first offer them to each holder of Ordinary Shares in the company pro rata to his existing Shareholding. This pre-emption right applies to any allotment of equity securities unless either: (i) one of the exceptions set out in section 564 to section 566 of the Act applies or; (ii) the company excludes or dis-applies the statutory pre-emption rights by one of the permitted methods set out in sections 569 to 573 of the Act.

If the directors of a company are generally authorised to allot shares under section 551 of the Act, they may also be given the power to allot shares under that general authorisation as if the pre-emption provisions in section 561 did not apply (section 570). As a disapplication of the statutory pre-emption right under section 570 works in combination with the authority to allot shares under section 551, the special resolutions dis- applying the statutory pre-emption right cross-refers to the corresponding authority to allot.

Resolution 19 is to be proposed as a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

Notes to Resolution 20

General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital in accordance with the terms set out below (10% Placement Facility). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of A$300 million or less. The Company's market capitalisation as at 1 October 2021 was approximately $33,379,132 (1,756,796,411 Ordinary Shares, based on the ASX closing price of A$0.019 per share). Further, the Company is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and is therefore an eligible entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

The Company is now seeking shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility. Resolution 20 therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, which is set out below. It is the Company's intention that funds received under the 10% Placement Facility will be used to supplement the Company's working capital requirements, for continued exploration and to advance the Company's current assets and undertake further transactions to acquire new assets or investments should the Directors determine this to be in the best interests of the Company.

The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 20 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 20.

No Director or Related Party will participate in any issue under the 10% Placement Facility unless specific approval is obtained for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Shareholder approval – the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.

(b) Equity Securities – any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company. The Company, as at the date of this Notice of Annual General Meeting, has on issue two quoted classes of Equity Securities: Shares quoted on ASX (as CDIs); Shares quoted on London Stock Exchange's AIM market.


(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility – ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities who have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting at which shareholder approval was obtained, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

$$
(A \times D) - E
$$

where:

“A” the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of the relevant period:

i. plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (other than exception 9, 16 or 17);

ii. plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9, where:

  • the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
  • the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the ASX Listing Rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4;

iii. plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the 12 months;

iv. plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16, where:

  • the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or
  • the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the ASX Listing Rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4;

v. plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4; and

vi. less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the 12 months.

“D” is 10%

“E” is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4.

(d) ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A – the ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. As at 1 October 2021, being the last practicable date before the time of printing of this Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company has remaining capacity to issue 19,344,552 Equity Securities available under its 15% placement capacity.

As at 1 October 2021, being the last practicable date before the time of printing of this Notice of Annual General Meeting, the Company has on issue 1,756,796,411 Ordinary Shares and therefore has a capacity to issue:

  • (1,756,796,411 x 0.15) = 263,519,462 Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and
  • (1,756,796,411 x 0.10) = 175,679,641 Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (subject to shareholder approval being obtained under this Resolution).

Subject to shareholder approval of Resolutions 11 and 12, the Company will issue additional Ordinary Shares. The number of Ordinary Shares that will be issued will depend upon the Company’s share price at the time of the issue so it is not possible to calculate the Company’s capacity to issue Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A based on the additional Ordinary Shares that will be issued, until those shares are issued.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue or agreement to issue (as the case may be) Equity Securities in accordance with the formula set out above.

28


(e) Minimum Issue Price - The cash price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must not be less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
  • if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in the preceding paragraph, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(f) 10% Placement Period – Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:

  • the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained;
  • the time and date of the next annual general meeting; or
  • the time and date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

(10% Placement Period).

Specific Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:

(a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than the price calculated in accordance with the formula above.

(b) If Resolution 20 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, existing Shareholders may be subject to both economic and voting power dilution.

There is a risk that:

  • the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of this Meeting;
  • the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities; and
  • the Equity Securities may be issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset, in which case, no funds will be raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Ordinary Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.

29


The table also shows:

  • two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting; and
  • two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.
Variable “A” in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 Dilution
$0.0095
50% decrease in Issue Price $0.019
Issue Price $0.038

Funds Raised $2,503,435 $5,006,870 $10,013,740

3,497,592,822 10% Voting Dilution 351,359,282 351,359,282 351,359,282
Funds Raised $3,337,913 $6,675,826 $13,351,653

The table has been prepared based on the total number of Ordinary Shares on issue at the date of the Notice, and on the following assumptions:

  • The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
  • None of the unlisted options that the Company currently has on issue are exercised before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
  • The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue, assuming variable A is equal to the total issued share capital. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
  • The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Annual General Meeting.
  • The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. Dilution experienced by Shareholders may be greater if issues have been made utilising the capacity in Listing Rule 7.1 as well.
  • The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Listed Options, it is assumed that those Listed Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
  • The current market price of CDIs of AUD$0.019, being the closing price of the CDIs on ASX at 1 October 2021.

(c) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 20 for the issue of Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction for the purposes of ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

(d) The Company may only seek to issue the Equity Securities for cash consideration. The Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition), continued advancement of the Company's current assets and/or general working capital.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

(e) The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;
  • the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
  • the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
  • advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing Shareholders or new investors who are not Related Parties of the Company or their associates.

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new assets or investments, it is likely that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new resources, assets or investments.

If Resolution 20 is approved by Shareholders, the Company will issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the Placement Period, as and when the circumstances of the Company require. If Resolution 20 is not approved by Shareholders, The Company will not have the additional 10% placement capacity available under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. In this case, the Company will be limited to the 15% placement capacity available under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

(f) In the preceding 12 months prior to the date of the Meeting, the Thor has issued a total of 151,696,852 equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, representing 8.23% of the Company's total number of equity securities on issue the commencement of that 12 month period. Further information in relation to each such issue is detailed in Annexure B.

(g) At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. Assuming that does not change, no existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 20 as they themselves intend to do. The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 20.

ANNEXURE A – TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS

(Resolutions 6 to 9 inclusive, 11 to 13 inclusive and 15 to 18 inclusive)

Exercise Price As specified in the relevant Resolution.
Expiry Date As specified in the relevant Resolution.
Listing As specified in the relevant Resolution.
Conditions to exercise of Options The Options may not be exercised if to do so would cause the option holder (together with its related parties or concert parties) to hold Ordinary Shares in the Company which exceed 29.9% of the Company's total issued share capital.
Transferability The Options will be transferable only with the consent of the Board.
Adjustment of Option Rights The Option holder will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders or have the right to participate in dividends or distributions, during the currency of the Option without first exercising the Option.

If the Company makes a bonus issue of Ordinary Shares or other securities to existing Shareholders:
(i) the number of Ordinary Shares which must be issued on the exercise of an Option will be increased in due proportion; and
(ii) no change will be made to the Exercise Price.

If the Company makes an issue of Ordinary Shares pro rata to existing Shareholders (other than a bonus issue) the Exercise Price of an Option will be reduced according to the following formula:
$$ \text{New exercise price} = O - \frac{E[\text{P} - (\text{S} + \text{D})]}{N + 1} $$
O = the old Exercise Price of the Option.
E = the number of underlying Ordinary Shares into which one (1) Option is exercisable.
P = average market price per Ordinary Share weighted by reference to volume of the underlying Ordinary Shares during the 5 trading days ending on the day before the ex rights date or ex entitlements date (excluding special crossings and overnight sales).
S = the subscription price of an Ordinary Share under the pro rata issue.
D = the dividend due but not yet paid on the existing underlying Ordinary Shares (except those to be issued under the pro rata issue).
N = the number of Ordinary Shares with rights or entitlements that must be held to receive a right to one (1) new Ordinary Share.

If there is any reconstruction of the issued share capital of the Company, the rights of the Option Holder will be varied to the extent necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules which apply to the reconstruction at the time of the reconstruction. |
