CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

28 October 2022

Dear Shareholders

Resolutions proposed by Shareholders under s249D of the Corporations Act

As announced on 11 October 2022, the Company has received two notices from two groups of Shareholders of the Company collectively holding at least 5% of the total issued share capital of the Company pursuant to Section 249D of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Corporations Act ). To comply with these notices, the Company has called a meeting of Shareholders to be held on 7 December 2022 at 5.00pm AEDT.

1.1 Notice One

The first notice ( Notice One ) was issued by several Shareholders, the details of which are set out in Schedule 1 of Annexure A of this Notice of Meeting ( Group One ). These Shareholders have requested that the Company convene a meeting of the Company’s Shareholders to consider a resolution to remove a director of the Company, being Mr Andrew Stewart, Non-Executive Director.

The resolution proposed in Notice One is set out in full in the Notice of Meeting as Resolution 1. Group One has provided a statement in support of Resolution 1. A copy is attached in Annexure A to this Notice of Meeting ( Group One Statement ).

The Directors (excluding Mr Andrew Stewart and Mr Sam El-Rahim) recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 for the following reasons:

  • (a) Exploration Delays and Lack of Progress;

  • (b) Expenditure on Exploration;

  • (c) Share Price Deterioration; and

  • (d) Board Change Necessary for Future Progress.

1.2 Notice Two

A second notice ( Notice Two ) was issued by several Shareholders, the details of which are set out in Schedule 1 of Annexure B of this Notice of Meeting ( Group Two ). These Shareholders have requested that the Company convene a meeting to consider the following resolutions:

  • (a) the appointment of Mr Peter Gray as a director of the Company;

  • (b) the removal of two directors of the Company, being Mr Ross Landles, Executive Chairman, and Mr David Nolan, Non-Executive Director; and

  • (c) the removal as a director of any persons appointed as a director of the Company on and from 7 October 2022 until the end of the general meeting (other than any person appointed as a director following their nomination by Group Two).

Each resolution proposed in Notice Two is set out in full the Notice of Meeting as Resolutions 2 to 5. Group Two has provided a statement in support of Resolutions 2 - 5. A copy is attached in Annexure B to the Notice of Meeting ( Group Two Statement ).

The Directors (excluding Mr Andrew Stewart) recommend that the Shareholders vote against Resolutions 2 to 5 for the following reasons:

  • (d) Resolution 2 – Appointment of Peter Gray as a Director

3

Mr Gray has no experience as an ASX-listed company director and does not bring any additional expertise to the Company or the Board.

(e)

Resolutions 3 and 4 – Removal of Ross Landles and David Nolan as Directors

(i) Group Two Statement

Mr Landles and Mr Nolan hold corporate governance, financial management and Shareholder interests as the highest priority for the Company, and reject the basis for any such concerns.

(ii) Strong Experience

David Nolan has over 20 years’ experience as corporate lawyer and ASX-listed company director, having been a director of 7 ASX-listed companies and several significant private companies, with extensive experience in the resources industry.

Ross Landles has held senior roles in a number of global investment banks for over 20 years, with extensive investment, investor engagement and capital management expertise and has deep relationships in the capital markets globally.

(iii) Capital Management

Mr Landles’ and Mr Nolan’s commitment to capital management to achieve maximum Shareholder return has and remains of the highest priority. Capital management has been a key focus since listing. Initiatives they have implemented have included Mr Nolan moving from an Executive to a Non-Executive role and forgoing 12 months remuneration to preserve significant shareholder funds and the Company Secretary role being moved from a variable to fixed cost basis, in addition to ongoing prudent management of all Company costs.

The significant majority of Shareholder funds raised since listing have been spent on exploration expenditure, as supervised by Mr Stewart under the delegation of the Board.

(iv) Significant Recent Progress led by Mr Landles and Mr Nolan

The Company engaged specialist corporate advisory and investment firm GTT Ventures for the Company’s recent strategic $1.5m placement and appointment as corporate advisor.

The Company appointed Murray Brooker as Consultant Geologist and Competent Person, along with in-country (Chile) Consultant Geologist, each of whom has extensive Chilean experience in the belt where the Company is exploring. Mr Brooker is a lithium expert whose extensive experience will significantly assist the Company in implementing its decarbonisation strategy.

(v) Strategy for Shareholder Return

As founders of the Company, Mr Landles and Mr Nolan retain strong Shareholder support given their track record including new investors introduced by the Company’s company advisor.

The significant recent progress led by Mr Landles and Mr Nolan illustrates that it is critical that they remain as directors of the Company.

Should Mr Landles and Mr Nolan no be longer directors, I believe that Shareholder value would be at peril.

(f) Resolution 5 – Removal as a director of any persons appointed as a director of the Company on and from 7 October 2022 until the end of the general meeting (other than any person appointed as a director following their nomination by Group Two)

4

This Resolution forces the removal of any talented and experienced ASX-listed company directors appointed by the Board prior to the general meeting without Mr Stewart’s approval, on the basis of Mr Stewart’s recommendation for Shareholders to vote in favour of this resolution. By including this Resolution 5, Group Two have sought to undermine the Company’s progression.

The Directors have reviewed the Group One Statement and the Group Two Statement but cannot take any responsibility for their content or accuracy, or whether they properly inform Shareholders about the Resolutions proposed by either Group One or Group Two.

Next steps

As noted above, the Directors (excluding Mr Andrew Stewart and Mr Sam El-Rahim) recommend you VOTE IN FAVOUR OF Resolution 1 (this Resolution is proposed by Group One) and the Directors (excluding Mr Andrew Stewart) recommend that you VOTE AGAINST Resolutions 2 to 5 (these Resolutions are proposed by the Group Two).

I strongly encourage you to read this document in its entirety, form your own view on these matters, and exercise your right to vote at the Meeting.

If you are unable to attend the Meeting in person, please complete and return the proxy form so that it is received by the deadline specified on the form.

Ross Landles Executive Chairman

Bastion Minerals Limited ACN 147 948 883

Section 249P Statement to Members

28 October 2022

Dear fellow Shareholders,

We, being those parties named in Schedule 1 ( Requisitioning Shareholders ), are collectively the registered holders of at least 5% of the votes that may be cast at a general meeting of Bastion Minerals Limited ACN 147 948 883 ( Company or Bastion Minerals ).

We have notified the Company of a resolution, which we propose to move at the general meeting of the Company to be convened pursuant to section 249D of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Meeting ), which allow shareholders to consider removing Andrew Stewart as a director of the Company ( Resolution ).

As members of Bastion Minerals, we are concerned with the progress made by the Company since listing on ASX. We believe it is important to take measures necessary to change the Board in a manner that will provide a platform for the Company to build shareholder value moving forward.

We are putting forward a Resolution to remove a director of the Company, being Mr Andrew Stewart, Non-Executive Director, after careful consideration and discussion and we give this statement in connection with this Resolution under section 249P of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth):

1. Exploration Delays and Lack of Progress

We believe that the Company’s progress in its core exploration activities since listing is unsatisfactory.

The Company commenced exploration activities in January 2021, using seed funds obtained from investors at the time. As announced by the Company on 25 March 2021, field work was scheduled to commence in Q2 2021. Subsequently, the drilling schedule was delayed to September 2021. Finally, after a further delay, drilling commenced in June 2022, 18 months since the exploration activities first commenced and 15 months since listing on ASX.

Since before listing, Andrew Stewart, who is a qualified geologist and former Managing Director of an ASX listed exploration company, was delegated responsibility by the Board to supervise the Company’s exploration team and exploration activities. Mr Stewart was regularly remunerated for this work since listing, in addition to his fees as a non-executive director. We believe that the delays in the progress of the exploration activities were a result of failures by the exploration team led by Andrew Stewart.

We, as shareholders of the Company, are expressing our disappointment and the Company has now only just begun to make significant progress since 29 September 2022, when the most recent placement of $1.5m worth of shares was announced to the market ( Placement ).

2. Expenditure on Exploration

Since the founders Ross Landles and David Nolan listed the Company on ASX in March 2021, the Company has raised over $7 million (not including the Placement), the significant majority of which was spent on exploration activities.

It is very concerning that such a significant amount of investors’ funds have been expended on exploration activities , which we believe is disproportional to the lack of exploration progress that has been made since the Company listed on ASX.

Doc ID 1004366623/v1

����������������������������������������������������������

3. Share Price Deterioration

The Company’s share price decreased from a high of $0.29 in November 2021 to a low of $0.066 at the date of this statement.

This share price deterioration reflects the delays and lack of progress in the Company’s exploration activities on its Chilean projects for which, we believe, Mr Stewart is largely responsible.

4. Board Change Necessary for Future Progress

In order for the Company to move forward and deliver success in its exploration activities and build value for all shareholders, we believe the Company is better served if Mr Stewart is no longer a director of the Company.

The non-executive directors have spoken to several talented and experienced ASX listed company directors who have expressed that they are prepared to join the Board if this change is made, and we ask shareholders to consider our resolution as one in their best interests.

In accordance with section 249P(6) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), the Company must distribute this statement to all of its members at the same time, or as soon as practicable afterwards, and in the same way, as it gives notice of the Meeting.

Section 249P Statement to Members

Dear fellow Shareholders,

We, being those parties named in Schedule 1 ( Requisitioning Shareholders ), are registered holders of at least 5% of the votes that may be cast at a general meeting of Bastion Minerals Limited ACN 147 948 883 ( Company or Bastion Minerals ).

We have notified the Company of resolutions which we propose to move at the general meeting of the Company to be convened pursuant to section 249D of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Meeting ), which allow shareholders to consider appointing one new director and removing two existing directors ( Resolutions ).

As members of Bastion Minerals, we are concerned about the future direction of the Company under the current board of directors. We are putting forward these Resolutions after careful consideration and discussion, and we give the following statement in connection with those Resolutions:

1. Corporate Governance

We are concerned with the approach taken by the Board with regards to corporate governance issues and compliance with the Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations, for the following reasons:

  • a. The Company has made previous announcements to the market against the recommendation of its Competent Person.

  • b. The Company is on its third Company Secretary in 18 months.

  • c. On 28 April 2022 the Company released a late lodgment notice relating to Alan Ross Landles holding previously undisclosed shares in the names of his immediate family members. Although this failure to disclose was noted to be inadvertent and due to administrative oversight, it raises questions as to the adequacy of the current governance practices for ensuring proper compliance.

2. Financial concerns and Shareholder interests:

We are aware of circumstances which raise some concerns regarding the financial performance of the Company (even accounting for the impact of COVID-9), as follows:

  • a. Since listing in March 2021, the Company has raised over $7million (not including the most recent capital raise) and yet has been unable to complete its maiden drill program without having to raise additional funds. We are concerned as to how this $7million has been spent and, in our view, the Board has not reported on this spending in a clear and consistent manner.

  • b. The recent capital raise was completed without giving the existing Shareholders of the Company an opportunity to participate, thereby diluting the holdings of existing members. By undertaking such a raising there has been a value transfer to the new shareholders at the expense of existing members of the Company.

3. Plans for the Company upon Board reconstitution:

We believe the Company would be better served by a Non-Executive Chairman who has experience overseeing listed exploration and mining Companies, and a Non-Executive Director with a strong financial background.

The new Board will review the Company’s corporate governance practices and prioritize sound financial control and ensure the accountability of the Board to the Company’s members.

4. Biographies of the proposed Director

Peter Gray has 15 years’ experience in the financial management of companies which operate the minerals, energy, and infrastructure industries. Peter held senior positions with EY, Tullow Oil, Brookfield, and Pooled Energy whilst living in Australia, Hong Kong, Mongolia and the United Kingdom. He holds a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Sydney, an MBA from the University of Cambridge and is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants.

In accordance with section 249P(6) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), the Company must distribute this Statement to all of its members at the same time, or as soon as practicable afterwards, and in the same way, as it gives notice of the Meeting.
