The Board has identified that the appropriate mix of skills and diversity required of its members on the Board to operate effectively and efficiently is achieved by personnel having substantial skills and experience in operational management, mining and technical, capital projects, strategy/risk, finance, listed resource companies, equity markets and sustainability and stakeholder management.

Recommendation 2.3: Assessment of Board Independence
Directors are expected to contribute independent views to the Board.
An independent Board member operates independently of executive management and free of any business or other relationship (personal, business or otherwise) that could materially interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with, the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgment.
Independent Board members accordingly assist in ensuring that the Board operates in the best interests of the Company, having regard to the goals and objectives of the Company.
The assessment of whether a Board member is independent is a matter of judgement for the Board as a whole and includes concepts of materiality. In making that judgement the Board may have regard to, but need not be bound by, the Recommendations as to director "independence".
All Board members are required to disclose to the Board and the Nomination Committee (via the Company Secretary) any interest, position, association, relationship or information (and any changes thereof) which may be relevant or material to that assessment. No director deemed independent has any interest, position, affiliation or relationship of the type described in Box 2.3 of the Fourth Edition.
The Chairman, and at least a majority of Directors, should be independent, unless special circumstances exist, are disclosed and are approved of by the Board as an exception to this requirement.
The Board regularly reviews and considers the positions and associations of each of the Directors in office.
As at 31 December 2024, the Board considered that six of the seven directors were independent, namely, Mr. A. Wray (Chairman), Ms. S. Shugg, Mr. A. Reynolds, Mr. S. Jackson, Ms. A. Parker and Mr. K. Marshall. As at 31 December 2024, the Board did not consider Mr. T. Holohan to be independent.
Refer to section 2.2 of this statement under the heading "The Board" for details of the length of service of each of the Directors.

As at 31 December 2024 and the date of this statement, the majority of the Board (six of the seven Directors) were independent.
Recommendation 2.5: Roles of the Chairman and CEO
The roles of the Chairman (Mr. A. Wray) and the CEO (Mr C. Eger) are not exercised by the same individual. As at the date of this Statement, the Chairman is an independent Non-Executive Director.
Recommendation 2.6: Board Induction and Professional Development
The Company has a procedure for the selection and appointment of new Directors which can be viewed here.
The Board, through the Nomination Committee, reviews whether the Directors as a group have the skills, knowledge and familiarity with the Group and its operating environment required to fulfil their role on the Board and its Committees effectively. It also oversees Board member induction and professional development including, where gaps are identified, considering what training or development could be undertaken to fill the gaps, and where necessary, providing resources for the Directors to develop and maintain their skills and knowledge. Further details of the professional development provided by the Nomination Committee can be found in the Nomination Committee Charter.

Recommendation 3.3: Whistleblower Policy
In line with the Code of Conduct, the Company has a Whistleblower Policy which aims to further the Company's commitment to maintaining high ethical standards of conduct and to encourage the reporting of any instance of suspected unethical, illegal, fraudulent or undesirable conduct which contravenes the Code of Conduct.

1 "Corporate governance statement" is defined in Listing Rule 19.12 to mean the statement referred to in Listing Rule 4.10.3 which discloses the extent to which an entity has followed the recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council during a particular reporting period.
Listing Rule 4.10.3 requires an entity that is included in the official list as an ASX Listing to include in its annual report either a corporate governance statement that meets the requirements of that rule or the URL of the page on its website where such a statement is located. The corporate governance statement must disclose the extent to which the entity has followed the recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council during the reporting period. If the entity has not followed a recommendation for any part of the reporting period, its corporate governance statement must separately identify that recommendation and the period during which it was not followed and state its reasons for not following the recommendation and what (if any) alternative governance practices it adopted in lieu of the recommendation during that period.
Under Listing Rule 4.7.4, if an entity chooses to include its corporate governance statement on its website rather than in its annual report, it must lodge a copy of the corporate governance statement with ASX at the same time as it lodges its annual report with ASX. The corporate governance statement must be current as at the effective date specified in that statement for the purposes of Listing Rule 4.10.3.
Under Listing Rule 4.7.3, an entity must also lodge with ASX a completed Appendix 4G at the same time as it lodges its annual report with ASX. The Appendix 4G serves a dual purpose. It acts as a key designed to assist readers to locate the governance disclosures made by a listed entity under Listing Rule 4.10.3 and under the ASX Corporate Governance Council's recommendations. It also acts as a verification tool for listed entities to confirm that they have met the disclosure requirements of Listing Rule 4.10.3.
The Appendix 4G is not a substitute for, and is not to be confused with, the entity's corporate governance statement. They serve different purposes and an entity must produce each of them separately.
2 Tick whichever option is correct and then complete the page number(s) of the annual report, or the URL of the web page, where your corporate governance statement can be found. You can, if you wish, delete the option which is not applicable.
3 Throughout this form, where you are given two or more options to select, you can, if you wish, delete any option which is not applicable and just retain the option that is applicable. If you select an option that includes "OR" at the end of the selection and you delete the other options, you can also, if you wish, delete the "OR" at the end of the selection.
