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.

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).

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

-
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,
6
where possible, to support each of the Resolutions proposed in this Notice (except for Resolution 8), provided 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.

T R I T O N M I N E R A L S L I M I T E D ABN 99 126 042 215 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in the accompanying Notice of Meeting of the Company.
Certain abbreviations and other defined terms are used throughout this Explanatory Memorandum. Defined terms are generally identifiable by the use of an upper case first letter. Details of the definitions and abbreviations are set out in the Glossary to the Explanatory Memorandum.
FINANCIAL REPORTS
The first item of the Notice deals with the presentation of the consolidated annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2020, together with the Directors' declaration and report in relation to that financial year and the Auditor's Report on the financial report. 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 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:
-
(a) the conduct of the audit;
-
(b) the preparation and content of the independent audit report;
-
(c) the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements; and
-
(d) the independence of the Auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.
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.
RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF THE REMUNERATION REPORT
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 Annual Report be adopted. The Remuneration Report is set out in the Company’s Annual Report and is also available on the Company’s website (www.tritonminerals.com).
The vote on Resolution 1 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 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.
The remuneration report for the financial year ended 31 December 2019 did not receive a vote of more than 25% against its adoption at the Company’s last general meeting held on 31 July 2020. Accordingly, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are against adoption of the Remuneration Report it will not result in the Company putting a Spill Resolution to Shareholders.
8
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.
Voting
Note that a voting exclusion applies to Resolution 1 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
RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF PETER CANTERBURY AS A DIRECTOR
Clause 6.1(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.
Peter Canterbury having been appointed as a Non-Executive Director by the Board on 31 January 2021, retires from office in accordance with the requirements of clause 6.1(e) of the Constitution and submits himself for re-election in accordance with clause 6.1(i) of the Constitution.
Peter Canterbury is a highly regarded senior mining executive with significant knowledge of project development on operations in Australia and Africa. Peter Canterbury is currently the CFO of De Grey Mining and was previously the CEO and Managing Director of the Company.
Based on Peter Canterbury’s relevant experience and qualifications the members of the Board, in the absence of Peter Canterbury, support the re-election of Peter Canterbury as a Director of the Company and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
RESOLUTION 3 – RE-ELECTION OF PATRICK BURKE AS A DIRECTOR
Pursuant to Clauses 6.1(f) and (g) of the Constitution, Patrick Burke, being a Director, retires by way of rotation and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election as a Director.
Patrick Burke holds a Bachelor of Law from the University of Western Australia. He has extensive legal and corporate advisory experience and over the last 10 years has acted as a director for several ASX, NASDAQ and AIM listed resources companies. His legal expertise is in corporate commercial and securities law in particular capital raisings and mergers and acquisitions. His corporate advisory experience includes identification and assessment of acquisition targets, strategic advice, deal structuring and pricing, funding, due diligence and execution.
Patrick Burke was initially appointed to the Board on 22 July 2016.
Based on Patrick Burke’s relevant experience and qualifications the members of the Board, in the absence of Patrick Burke, support the re-election of Patrick Burke as a Director of the Company and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
Background
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
Listing Rule 7.1A enables an eligible entity to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting at which a resolution for the
9
purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is passed by special resolution ( Additional 10% Placement Capacity ). The Additional 10% Placement Capacity is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
An entity will be eligible to seek approval under Listing Rule 7.1A if:
-
(a) the entity has a market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300 million or less; and
-
(b) the entity is not included in the S&P ASX 300 Index.
The Company has a market capitalisation of approximately $45.4 million as at 22 April 2021 and is an eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A.
The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula set out in Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholders’ approval to issue additional Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity. If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the Additional 10% Placement Capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
Listing Rule 7.1A
The effect of Resolution 4 will be to permit the Company to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the Additional Placement Period (as defined below) without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Equity Securities issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company. As at the date of this Notice the Company only has Shares on issue.
Based on the number of Shares on issue at the date of this Notice, the Company will have 1,134,468,067 Shares on issue and therefore, subject to Shareholder approval being obtained under Resolution 4, 1,134,468,067 Equity Securities will be permitted to be issued in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A. Shareholders should note that the calculation of the number of Equity Securities permitted to be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity is a moving calculation and will be based the formula set out in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 at the time of issue of the Equity Securities. That formula is:
(A x D) – E
-
A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(a) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;
-
(b) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
-
a. the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the 12 months; or
-
b. the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;
-
-
(c) plus the number of Shares issued in the 12 months under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:
-
a. the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the 12 months; or
-
b. the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4;
-
10
-
(d) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4;
-
(e) plus the number of partly paid Shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(f) less the number of fully paid Shares cancelled in the 12 months.
Note that ‘A’ is has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.
-
D is 10%
-
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under 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 Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4.
Resolution 4 is a special resolution, requiring 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) to be passed.
Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
-
(a) If the Resolution is passed, the Additional 10% Placement Capacity will be valid during the period from the date of the Meeting and will expire on the earlier of:
-
the date that is 12 months after the date of the Meeting;
-
the time and date of the Company’s next Meeting; and
-
the time and date on which the Company receives approval by Shareholders for a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
( Additional Placement Period ).
(b) The Equity Securities will be issued for cash consideration at an issue price per Equity Security of not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for the Company's Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in the class were recorded immediately before:
-
the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
-
if the Equity Securities are not issued within ten Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(c) It is anticipated that funds raised by the issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity would be applied towards the development and construction of the Ancuabe Graphite Project, the Company’s exploration activities, feasibility studies, the acquisition of resource assets or investments (should suitable assets or investments be available), corporate costs and general working capital.
-
(d) If Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, the existing Shareholders' economic and voting interests in the Company will be diluted. There is also 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 the 10% Additional Placement Capacity was approved; and
-
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 of the Equity Securities.
The table below demonstrates the potential dilution of existing Shareholders in three differing scenarios.

| Shares |
Note : This table assumes:
-
The current issue price of Shares being $0.040, being the price of Shares as at close of trading on 21 April 2021.
-
No Options are exercised before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
The issue of Equity Securities under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, for the purposes of the above table, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purposes of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2, with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or ratified under Listing Rule 7.4. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to ratification under Listing Rule 7.4.
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.
-
(e) The identity of the persons to whom Shares will be issued is not yet known and will be determined on a case by case basis having regard to market conditions at the time of the proposed issue of Equity Securities and the Company’s allocation policy, which involves consideration of matters including, but not limited to:
-
the ability of the Company to raise funds at the time of the proposed issue of Equity Securities and whether the raising of any funds under such placement could be carried out by means of an entitlements offer, or a placement and an entitlements offer;
12
-
the dilutionary effect of the proposed issue of the Equity Securities on existing Shareholders at the time of proposed issued of Equity Securities;
-
the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
advice from its professional advisers, including corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The persons to whom Shares will be issued under the Additional 10% Placement Capacity have not been determined as at the date of this Notice, but will not include related parties (or their Associates) of the Company.
- (f) The Company has not previously issued or agreed to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting.
Board recommendation
The Board supports the Additional 10% Placement Capacity and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
RESOLUTION 5 – RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF TONOE OPTIONS PURSUANT TO A PLACEMENT
On 20 August 2020, the Company announced that it would make a Placement to Eligible Optionholders at an issue price of $0.002 per TONOE Option to raise $340,338. Funds raised will be used for development activities including permitting, engineering and financing at the Ancuabe Graphite Project and expenses of the Offer.
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
The Placement does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date the Company issued TONOE Options pursuant to the Placement.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a company to approve an issue of Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1 and therefore seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of TONOE Options pursuant to the Placement under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If this Resolution is passed, the TONOE Options pursuant to the Placement will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date the Company issued TONOE Options pursuant to the Placement. In addition, the TONOE Options pursuant to the Placement will not be included in calculating the Company’s 10% capacity in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under that rule.
If this Resolution is not passed, the TONOE Options pursuant to the Placement will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in 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 date the Company issued TONOE Options pursuant to the Placement. In addition, the TONOE Options pursuant to the Placement will be included in calculating the Company’s additional 10% capacity in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under that rule.

|---|---|---|

RESOLUTION 8 – ELECTION OF ANDREW FRAZER AS A DIRECTOR
Clauses 6.1(m), 6.1(c) and 6.1(a) of the Constitution provide that a person may be elected to the office of a Director, by the resolution of the Company at a general meeting, if a Shareholder nominates the relevant person under clause 6.1(o), if the nominee provides their consent to the nomination prior to the meeting and if the election will not result in the total number of Directors exceeding the maximum number specified by the Constitution.
Clause 6.1(o) of the Constitution provides that a Shareholder may nominate another person as a candidate for election at a general meeting, whether or not the nominee is a Shareholder, by serving on the Company, in accordance with the notice period set out in clause 6.1(p), a notice of nomination signed by the Shareholder and a consent to the nomination signed by the relevant nominee. Clause 6.1(p) provides that a nomination under clause 6.1(o) must be served on the Company at least 35 Business Days before the general meeting.
The Directors confirm that the Company received a letter dated 31 March 2021 from SG Hiscock & Company Limited, nominating Andrew Frazer for election as a director ( Nomination ) at the Company’s upcoming annual general meeting, being the Meeting convened by this Notice. Andrew Frazer has not provided the Company with a biography or summary of his experience or qualifications.
SG Hiscock & Company Limited has requested a written statement to be included with this Notice pursuant to section 249P of the Corporations Act. Under section 249P of the Corporations Act, any shareholder (or group of shareholders) holding more than 5% of the votes that may be cast at a general meeting is entitled to have their written statements distributed to all members.
SG Hiscock & Company Limited is a company associated with Andrew Frazer, and is a substantial shareholder in the Company, with a holding of 5.24% of the Company’s Shares as at 15 March 2021. Accordingly, a copy of the written statement requisitioned to be put to members by SG Hiscock & Company Limited is set out in Annexure B to this Notice.
The Board is currently comprised of four (4) Non-Executive directors, and the Directors believe the Board is appropriately constituted and functional already.
The Directors DO NOT SUPPORT the election of Andrew Frazer as a Director. Directors recommend Shareholders vote AGAINST the election of Andrew Frazer, for the following reasons:
- (a) The Board’s current size and skill set is appropriate for the Company and Andrew Frazer’s appointment would not provide any additional skills that would materially benefit the Company and its shareholders.
17
-
(b) Andrew Frazer’s appointment may create an imbalance of representation on the Board, and adversely affect the effective relationship between management and the Board.
-
(c) In the ordinary course of events, the Board proposes Directors for election by Shareholders at the Company’s annual general meeting. The Board did not propose Andrew Frazer for election as a Director, however. His nomination was made under a rule which entitles any Shareholder to nominate a person to stand for election to the Board.
The Company is also undertaking the appropriate background searches and will inform Shareholders of any material results in due course.

ANNEXURE B
Member’s Statement
Section 249P of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)
Triton Minerals Limited (ACN 126 042 215) (the Company )
“We strongly believe that, as a director of the Company, Mr Frazer will assist in expediting the development of the Company’s flagship Ancuabe Graphite Project, as well as the advancement of the largest graphite project in the world, the Company’s Nicanda Hill Graphite Project.
As a substantial shareholder of the Company, we have become frustrated with the continued delays and lack of progress in developing the Company’s project, particularly at a time of resource market tailwinds and strong demand for graphite for use in electric vehicles and expandable graphite applications (for example smartphones and flame retardant building cladding).”
