General Proxy Rules:

A Shareholder en�tled to atend and vote at the Mee�ng may appoint one or two proxies to atend and vote on their behalf. Each proxy will have the right to vote on a poll and also to speak at the Mee�ng.

A proxy need not be a member of the Company and a proxy can be either an individual or a body corporate.

The appointment of a proxy may specify the propor�on or the number of votes that the proxy may exercise. Where more than one proxy is appointed and the appointment does not specify the propor�on or number of the Shareholder's votes each proxy may exercise, the votes will be divided equally among the proxies (i.e. where there are two proxies, each proxy may exercise half the votes).

8

If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may vote or abstain from vo�ng on that Resolu�on as they think fit.

If a proxy is instructed to abstain from vo�ng on an item of business, they are directed not to vote on the Shareholder's behalf on the poll and the Shares that are the subject of the proxy appointment will not be counted in calcula�ng the required majority.

Shareholders who return their proxy forms with a direc�on on how to vote but do not nominate the iden�ty of their proxy will be taken to have appointed the Chairman of the Mee�ng as their proxy to vote on their behalf.

If a proxy form is returned but the nominated proxy does not atend the Mee�ng, or does not vote on the resolu�on, the Chairman of the Mee�ng will act in place of the nominated proxy and vote in accordance with any instruc�ons.

Due to the vo�ng exclusions and requirements referred to in the Explanatory Statement, if you intend to appoint any Director or Key Management Personnel or their closely related par�es, other than the Chairman, as your proxy, you should direct your proxy how to vote on Resolu�ons 1, 7, 8, 9 and 10 by marking either "For", "Against" or "Abstain" on the proxy form for that relevant item of business. Closely related par�es are defined in the Corpora�ons Act to include the spouses, dependents, certain other close family members of the members of Key Management Personnel as well as any companies controlled by such a member. If you do not direct such a proxy how to vote on those Resolu�ons they will not be able to vote an undirected proxy and your vote will not be counted. This does not apply to the Chairman, who is able to vote undirected proxies.

The Chairman intends to vote any undirected proxy in favour of all Resolu�ons. You should note that if you appoint the Chairman as your proxy, or the Chairman is appointed your proxy by default, you will be taken to authorize the Chairman to exercise the proxy even if the Resolu�on is connected directly or indirectly with the remunera�on of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

If you wish, you can appoint the Chairman as your proxy and direct the Chairman to cast your votes contrary to the above stated vo�ng inten�on or to abstain from vo�ng on a Resolu�on. Simply mark your vo�ng direc�ons on the proxy form before you return it.

The proxy form must be signed by the member or his/her atorney duly authorized in wri�ng or, if the member is a corpora�on, in a manner permited by the Corpora�ons Act. A proxy given by a foreign corpora�on must be executed in accordance with the laws of that corpora�on's place of incorpora�on.

A proxy form is atached to this No�ce of Annual General Mee�ng.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement dated as of 3 April 2024 has been prepared for the informa�on of the Shareholders of the Company in connec�on with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Mee�ng to be held at Level 27, Collins Arch, 447 Collins Street, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia on 3 May 2024 at 9.30am (AEST).

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide informa�on which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolu�ons in the No�ce of Annual General Mee�ng.

BUSINESS

  1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND DIRECTORS' REPORTS
    The Corpora�ons Act requires the financial report of the Company and the reports of the Directors and auditors be received and considered before the Annual General Mee�ng. Accordingly, the Company's financial report and the reports of the Directors and auditors for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 will be presented to the Shareholders for considera�on. No resolu�on is required on those reports.
    The Company's annual financial report is available on its website at htps://jervoisglobal.com/and under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
  2. RESOLUTION 1 - ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
    The Remunera�on Report for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 is set out in the Directors' report of the Company's December 2023 Annual Report and is available on the Company's website at www.jervoisglobal.com.The Remunera�on Report sets out the Company's policies and a range of maters rela�ng to the remunera�on of Directors and other Key Management Personnel of the Company.
    Shareholders atending the Annual General Mee�ng will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask ques�ons about, or make comments on, the Remunera�on Report.
    Under the Corpora�ons Act, a listed en�ty is required to put to the vote a resolu�on that the Remunera�on Report be adopted. Whilst the resolu�on must be put to a vote, the resolu�on is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, if at least 25% of votes are cast against the resolu�on at two consecu�ve Annual General Mee�ngs (this did not occur last year), a 'Board spill resolu�on' needs to be put to Shareholders. If such a Board spill resolu�on is passed by Shareholders, the Company is required to hold a further mee�ng of Shareholders within 90 days to consider replacing those Directors (other than the Managing Director) in office at the �me the remunera�on report was approved by the Board.
    The Board will take the outcome of the vote into considera�on when reviewing remunera�on prac�ces and policies.
    Recommendation
    The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolu�on.
  3. RESOLUTIONS 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
    Rule 58 of the Cons�tu�on requires that all of the Company's Directors, other than the Managing Director, Mr Bryce Crocker, must re�re at each annual general mee�ng. Rule 58.4 of the Cons�tu�on provides that a re�ring Director is eligible for re-elec�on.
    Mr Brian Kennedy, Mr Peter Johnston, Mr Michael Callahan, Mr David Issroff and Dr Daniela Chimisso dos Santos will re�re in accordance with the Cons�tu�on, and each offers themself for re-elec�on at the Mee�ng.
