E XP L A N A TO R Y S TA TE M E N T

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

  1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
    In accordance with the Corporations Act, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2023 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors' report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor's report.
    The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company's annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company's annual financial report is available on its website at www.peelmining.com.au.
  2. RESOLUTION 1 - ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
  1. General
    The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company's annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report to be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.
    The remuneration report sets out the company's remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors' report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.
    The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.
  2. Voting consequences
    A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company (Spill Resolution) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.
    If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting (Spill Meeting) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
    All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report
    (as included in the company's annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.
    Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

2.3 Previous voting results

At the Company's previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Meeting.

3. RESOLUTION 2 - RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR - MR GRAHAM HARDIE

  1. General
    Listing Rule 14.5 provides that an entity which has directors must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting.
    The Constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.
    Mr Graham Hardie, who has served as a Director since 24 February 2010and was last re-elected on 29 November 2021, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.
  2. Qualifications and other material directorships
    Mr Hardie is the principal of Hardie Finance Corporation, a private Perth-based property development company, and is also the principal of Entertainment Enterprises, a private Perth-based hospitality company.
    He is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants and a former partner in a leading Chartered Accounting firm. Mr Hardie has extensive commercial and financial experience and has held board positions on a number of public companies in the mining, media, transport and retail industries.
    No other directorships were held in the past 3 years.
  3. Independence
    If re-elected the Board considers Mr Graham Hardie will be an independent Director.
  4. Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
    If Resolution 2 is passed, Mr Hardie will be re-elected to the Board as an independent Director.
    In the event that Resolution 2 is not passed, Mr Hardie will not continue in his role as an independent Director.
  5. Board recommendation
    The Board has reviewed Mr Hardie's performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that their skills and experience will continue to enhance the
    Board's ability to perform its role. Accordingly, the Board supports the re-election of Mr Hardie and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3 - APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE

4.1 General

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval

7

of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

However, under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% (7.1A Mandate).

An 'eligible entity' means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an eligible entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $69,692,144 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 5 October 2023).

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.

For note, a special resolution is a resolution requiring at least 75% of votes cast by shareholders present and eligible to vote at the meeting in favour of the resolution.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A, and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to Resolution 3:

  1. Period for which the 7.1A Mandate is valid
    The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:
    1. the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;
    2. the time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting; and
    3. the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).
  2. Minimum price
    Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued for cash consideration at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity

8

Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

    1. the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
    2. if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in Section 4.2(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
  1. Use of funds raised under the 7.1A Mandate
    The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate for the advancement of its 100% owned copper focused South Cobar Project and general working capital. The South Cobar Project is located in Central NSW and contains the Mallee Bull, Wirlong, Southern Nights and Wagga Tank mineral deposits.
  2. Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution
    Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
    If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A Mandate, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
    The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue or proposed to be issued as at 5 October 2023.
    The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 7.1A Mandate.
