Notice of Annual General Meeting

and

Letter from the Chairman

Notice of Annual General Meeting of the Company, to be held at the offices of The Clubhouse, 8 St James's Square, London, SW1Y 4JU on 28 June 2021 at 11.30 a.m. is set out on pages 5 to 6 of this document.

The Board has continued to monitor closely the COVID-19 pandemic and its preference is to welcome shareholders to this year's AGM, especially given that shareholders were prevented from attending last year. The holding of the meeting will be kept under review in line with Public Health England guidance, and based on the Government's roadmap for relaxing restrictions on 21 June 2021, it is hoped that there will be no formal restrictions on attendance by shareholders other than any imposed by the venue owners. We would therefore request that any shareholders planning to attend to inform the Company at info@zinnwaldlithium.com by close of business on 24 June 2021, so that attendee numbers can be assessed. We would also strongly encourage shareholders to submit a proxy vote in advance of the AGM. Any changes to the arrangements for the AGM set out above will be communicated to shareholders before the AGM through the Company's website at www.zinnwaldlithium.com and, where appropriate, by a regulatory information service announcement.

Annual General Meeting of Erris Resources plc (the "Company")

1. Introduction

I am pleased to be writing to you with details of our Annual General Meeting ("AGM") which we are holding at The Clubhouse, 8 St James's Square, London, SW1Y 4JU on 29 June 2021 at 11.30 a.m. The formal notice of the AGM is set out on pages 5 to 6 of this document ("Notice of AGM").

The purpose of this letter is to provide shareholders of the Company with details of the background to, and reasons for, the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM (the "Resolutions"), to explain why the Directors believe that the passing of the Resolutions is in the best interests of the Company and the shareholders of the Company as a whole and to recommend that shareholders of the Company vote in favour of the Resolutions.

The formal business of the AGM will only be to consider and vote upon the resolutions set out below. The holding of the meeting will be kept under review in line with Public Health England guidance, and based on the Government's roadmap for relaxing restrictions on 21 June 2021, it is hoped that there will be no formal restrictions on attendance by shareholders other than any imposed by the venue owners. Any changes to the arrangements for the AGM set out above will be communicated to shareholders before the AGM through the Company's website at www.zinnwaldlithium.com and, where appropriate, by a regulatory information service announcement

Shareholders wishing to vote on any matters of business are strongly urged to do so through the completion of a form of proxy. Please see Section 3 below for further information.

Business to be transacted at the AGM

Details of the Resolutions which are to be proposed at the AGM are set out below. Resolutions 1 to 6 are to be proposed as ordinary resolutions and resolutions 7 and 8 are to be proposed as special resolutions.

Ordinary Resolution 1: Annual Report and Accounts

In accordance with the requirements of section 437 of the Companies Act 2006, the Company will lay before the AGM the annual report and accounts of the Company in respect of the Year ended 31 December 2020.

2

Ordinary Resolutions 2 and 3: Re-appointment of auditors

Shareholders will be asked to confirm the re-appointment of PKF Littlejohn LLP as the Company's auditors to hold office until the conclusion of next year's AGM and to grant authority to the Directors to determine the auditors' remuneration.

Ordinary Resolutions 4 and 5: Re-election of Directors

Peter Secker is retiring in accordance with Article 24.3 of the Company's Articles of Association, and being eligible to do so offers himself for re-election. This is because he was appointed director of the Company on 29 October 2020. Pursuant to the Articles, any directors appointed by the Board, and not by the shareholders, must retire at the annual general meeting after their appointment and may then offer themselves for re-election. The AGM is the first annual general meeting of the Company to be held since his appointment

Graham Brown retires by rotation in accordance with Article 24.4 of the Company's Articles of Association and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.

Ordinary Resolution 6: Grant of authority to the Directors to allot Ordinary Shares

It is proposed to authorise the Directors to allot Ordinary Shares up to a maximum nominal value of £2,000,000 (representing 200,000,000 Ordinary Shares) which is approximately equal to 97.5% of the Company's issued share capital as at 2 June 2021 (being the last practicable date prior to the publication of this document). As at the date of this document, the Directors' intention is only to make use of this authority: (a) potentially for use as consideration in connection with any acquisitions of companies or businesses which the Company may wish to make; (b) in order to raise funds through subscriptions for new shares in order to finance any such acquisitions or otherwise as may be necessary to satisfy the working capital requirements of the Group and accelerate the development of the Zinnwald Lithium Project; and (c) in connection with the grant of share-based payments or options to the Directors of the Company and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group"). This authority replaces the similar authority approved by shareholders at the Company's General Meeting in relation to its transformational RTO held on 27 October 2020 and if passed, will expire at the conclusion of next year's AGM.

Special Resolution 7: Disapplication of statutory pre-emption rights on allotment of shares

If the Directors wish to allot unissued shares or other equity securities for cash or sell any shares which the Company may hold in treasury following a purchase of its own shares, the Companies Act 2006 requires that such shares or other equity securities are offered first to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings.

The authority is sought to grant the Directors authority to allot equity securities or sell treasury shares for cash up to a maximum aggregate nominal value of £2,000,000 (representing 200,000,000 Ordinary Shares and which would constitute approximately 97.5% of the issued share capital of the Company as at 2 June 2021 (being the last practicable date prior to the publication of this document)) without first offering the securities to existing shareholders. The total number of Ordinary Shares in issue as at 2 June 2021 was 205,105,957. The proposed resolution also disapplies the statutory pre-emption provisions in connection with a rights issue and allows the Directors, in the case of a rights issue, to make arrangements in relation to fractional entitlements or other legal or practical problems which might arise.

The Directors have no immediate plans to make use of this authority other than in the same circumstances as those to which I referred to in the explanation relating to resolution 6 above. This authority replaces the similar authority approved by shareholders at the Company's General Meeting in relation to its transformational RTO held on 27 October 2020 and if passed, will expire at the conclusion of next year's AGM.

3

Special Resolution 8: Company's authority to purchase its own shares

Authority is sought from shareholders for the Company to make market purchases of Ordinary Shares, such authority being limited to the purchase of up to 10 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company as at 2 June 2021 (being the last practicable date prior to the publication of this document) (that is, 20,510,595 Ordinary Shares). The resolution sets out the maximum and minimum prices that can be paid.

The Directors have no present intention of exercising the authority to purchase Ordinary Shares but will keep the matter under review. The authority will be exercised only if the Directors believe that to do so would result in an increase in earnings per share or an increased net asset value per share (or both) for the remaining shareholders, and would be likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its shareholders as a whole.

The Company may either cancel any Ordinary Shares which it purchases under this authority or transfer them into treasury (and subsequently sell or transfer them out of treasury or cancel them). If the Company was to purchase any Ordinary Shares pursuant to this authority it would consider holding them as treasury shares. This would enable the Company to reissue treasury shares quickly and cost-effectively and would provide the Company with additional flexibility in the management of its capital base.

3. Action to be taken

You are entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote at the AGM on your behalf. You will find enclosed with this document a form of proxy for use in connection with the AGM. Whether or not you propose to attend the AGM in person, you are requested to complete and return the form of proxy to the Company's registrars, Share Registrars Limited at The Courtyard, 17 West Street, Farnham GU9 7DR and in any event by 11.30 a.m. on 24 June 2021 and return of a form of proxy will not stop you from attending the AGM and voting in person should you so wish and should this be permitted by COVID regulations at the time of the meeting.

4. Recommendation

The Directors consider that all of the Resolutions to be proposed at the AGM are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of all of the Resolutions, as the Directors intend to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings.

Yours faithfully

Jeremy Martin

Chairman
