Alara Resources Limited

ABN 27 122 892 719

Explanatory Statement

This Explanatory Statement is provided to the Shareholders of Alara Resources Limited (Alara or the Company) pursuant to and in satisfaction of the Corporations Act (Cth) 2001 (Corporations Act) and the Listing Rules of the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). This Explanatory Statement is intended to be read in conjunction with the Notice of Annual General Meeting (AGM).

1. 2021 Full-Year Report

onlySection 317 of the Corporations Act requires the Directors of the Company to lay before the AGM the Directors' Report, Financial Report and the Auditor's Report for the last financial year that ended before the AGM. These reports are contained within the Company's 2021 Financial and Directors' Report (2021 Full Year Report) and also within its 2021 Annual Report.

A copy of the 2021 Annual Report will be sent to those shareholders who have elected to receive a printed version. Otherwise, an electronic version of the 2021 Full Year Report and 2021 Annual Report may be viewed and downloaded from the Company's website: www.alararesources.com or the ASX website (www.asx.com.au) under ASX Code: AUQ or emailed to shareholders upon request to info@alararesources.com.

Shareholders will be provided with a reasonable opportunity as a whole to ask questions or make statements in relation to these reports and on the business and operations of the Company but no resolution to adopt the Reports will be put to shareholders at the AGM.

2.

This Resolution seeks Shareholders' approval to adopt the 30 June 2021 Remuneration Report as disclosed in the Company's 2021 Annual Report use(please see above for information on accessing the report).

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires the Company to present the Remuneration Report to its Shareholders for adoption.

The Remuneration Report explains the Board's policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to "Key Management Personnel" (KMP) being the Directors and Executives of the Company's consolidated group identified in the Remuneration Report, sets out remuneration details for each KMP and any service agreements and sets out the details of any performance-based and equity based benefits provided to KMP (where applicable).

Shareholders attending the AGM will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report. The vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

Directors' Recommendations

Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company (as such interests are described in the Remuneration personalReport) and, as described in the voting exclusions on this Resolution (set out below), that each Director (or any Closely Related Party of a Director) is

excluded from voting their shares on this Resolution, the Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report.

Voting Exclusion

Under s250BD of the Corporations Act, a person appointed as a proxy must not vote, on the basis of that appointment, on this Resolution (on the basis that it is connected with the remuneration of members of the Key Management Personnel of the Company's consolidated entity) if:

The above exclusion does not apply if:

Shareholders should note that if a Shareholder appoints the Chairman as their proxy, or if the Chairman is appointed by default under the Proxy Form, and the Chairman is not directed as to how to vote on this Resolution, then the Chairman intends to vote any undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution on a poll for this Resolution. Shareholders may also choose to direct the Chairman to vote against this Resolution or to abstain from voting on

Forthis Resolution.

The Company encourages Shareholders to indicate their voting direction FOR or AGAINST, or to ABSTAIN, in relation to each Resolution on their Proxy Form, including this Resolution. If a Shareholder appoints the Chairman of the Meeting as their proxy (or the Chairman of the Meeting becomes their proxy by default) the Shareholder may direct the Chairman to vote FOR or AGAINST, or to ABSTAIN from voting on this Resolution by marking the appropriate Voting Direction box opposite that resolution. However, if the Chairman of the Meeting is proxy under the Proxy Form and a Shareholder does not mark any of the Voting Direction boxes opposite this Resolution, the Shareholders is, in effect, directing the Chairman to vote FOR the Resolution, because the Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution. Shareholders are urged to carefully read the Proxy Form and provide a direction to the proxy on how to vote on this Resolution.

3. Resolution 2 - Issue of Options to Managing Director

The Company agreed to issue Managing Director Mr Atmavireshwar Sthapak 7.5 million options, in 5 separate tranches detailed below (each a Tranche) each exerciseable within one (1) year after vesting, with an exercise price of AU$ 0.03 each, with each Tranche to vest upon the Company achieving the Target specified for that Tranche below (Managing Director's Options or Options).

  • achieves a Target for a Tranche by its Target Date but the Managing Director does not exercise any given Option in the relevant Tranche within 12 months after the date on which the Target was achieved, the Options in that Tranche which have not been exercised will lapse at the end of that 12-

2021 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING | 3

Explanatory Statement

Alara Resources Limited

ABN 27 122 892 719

The Managing Director is also entitled to a cash bonus if the Company achieves a Target for a Tranche by the Target Date for that Tranche. The Company is not required to obtain, and is not seeking, Shareholders' approval for the cash bonuses connected with the Company achieving any Target. The cash bonuses are detailed here to provide Shareholders with full disclosure of the Managing Director's remuneration package. If the Managing Director becomes entitled to a cash bonus referred to below, it will be paid only when in the opinion of the Board (acting reasonably) Alara has sufficient free cash, whether from dividends from the Wash-hi Majaza Project or otherwise, to pay the cash bonus, and will carry interest at 5% per annum (non- compounding) from the date of achievement of the relevant Target until payment.

Tranche 1: 2.5 million options and a A$60,000 cash bonus if the Wash-hi Majaza Project achieves first copper concentrate production (Target) on or onlybefore 28 February 2023 (Target Date).

Tranche 2: 2.5 million options and a A$60,000 cash bonus if Alara or a JV company in which Alara has at least a 50% interest is awarded a mining or exploration licence for the Khnaiguiyah Project in Saudi Arabia (Target) on or before 31 March 2023 (Target Date).

Tranche 3: 833,000 options and a A$20,000 cash bonus if the exploration license for the Daris project is transferred to Alara's JV company Daris Resources LLC by Alara's partner in that JV (Target) on or before 31 December 2022 (Target Date).

Tranche 4: 833,000 options and a A$20,000 cash bonus if Alara or a JV company in which Alara holds at least a 50% interest acquires interests in other copper mineral licences in Oman acceptable to the Board (Target) on or before 31 December 2022 (Target Date).

Tranche 5: 833,000 options and a A$20,000 cash bonus if the exploration license for mining Block 8 in Oman is renewed and is transferred to Alara or a JV company in which Alara holds at least a 10% interest (Target) on or before 31 March 2023 (Target Date).

In each of the above cases, if the Target is achieved:

usea) within two (2) months after the Target Date, 66.66% of the Options are exerciseable and 66.66% of the cash bonus is payable for that Target;

b) more than (2) months after, but within four (4) months of, the Target Date, 33.33% of the Options are exerciseable and 33.33% of the cash bonus is payable for that Target; or

c) not achieved within four (4) months after the Target Date, no Options are exerciseable and no cash bonus is payable for that Target.

The cash bonuses, if paid in full, will total $180,000, which is equal to 58% of the Managing Director's base remuneration (and, for clarity, would be paid in addition to that base remuneration). After conducting extensive research, Directors are satisfied that this proposed options and cash bonus package is in keeping with bonus packages for the Managing Director or Chief Executive Officer of other ASX listed resource companies at Alara's stage in the project development cycle.

Purpose of seeking Shareholders' approval

personalShareholders' Approval for the issue of the Managing Director's Options is sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, which covers the issue of Equity Securities (including options) to a related party, which includes a Director.

Listing Rule 10.11.1 provides that, unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to a related party without Shareholders' approval.

This Resolution seeks required Shareholders' approval to the issue of the Managing Director's Options under, and for the purposes of, Listing Rule 10.11.

Shareholders' Approval is not sought under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
