Ms Sutton will resign and seek election at the Annual General Meeting.

Ms Sutton served as Chief Executive and Managing Director of ERA from 2013 to 2017. In addition to her ERA experience, Ms Sutton brings extensive operational, technical and corporate experience from nearly 25 years with Rio Tinto, which has included roles as Management Director with the Rio Tinto Support Strategy Review team, General Manager Operations at the Bengalla mine and General Manager Infrastructure with Rio Tinto Iron Ore. Ms Sutton is currently the head of health, safety, security and environment services at Rio Tinto.

The Directors (other than Ms Sutton, who makes no recommendation) recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the election of Ms Sutton as a Director of the Company.

(ii) Mr Shane Charles LLB

Mr Charles was first appointed as a Director of the Company in October 2015 and was most recently elected as a Director at the 2016 Annual General Meeting. He also serves as Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee and is a member of the Health, Safety and Environment Committee and the Remuneration Committee.

The Board considers

Mr Charles to be an independent Director.

Mr Charles is currently the Chairman of the Toowoomba and Surat Basin Enterprise (TSBE), an independent, business driven economic development organisation with a vision to pursue sustainable growth and diversity. Mr Charles is also currently General Manager Strategy and Development at Wagners, Chairman of Sunrise Way Rehabilitation Limited and President of the Royal Agricultural Society of Queensland.

Mr Charles has previously acted as Chairman of Stanwell Corporation Limited, as director and Chairman of the Endeavour Foundation, and as a commissioner of the GasFields Commission of Queensland.

The Directors (other than Mr Charles, who makes no recommendation) recommend that

shareholders vote in

favour of the re-election of

Mr Charles as a Director

of the Company.
