GENERAL INFORMATION
Purpose of Annual Meeting
The purposes of the Annual Meeting are to seek shareholder approval of the following proposals:
1. By ordinary resolution, to re-elect Candice Beaumont as a Class I director to serve until the Company’s 2029 annual general meeting or until her successor is duly elected and qualified or until her earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Company’s articles of association; and
2. To transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or at any postponement or adjournment of the Annual Meeting.
The Board recommends a vote FOR the proposal.
Will there be any other items of business on the agenda?
The Board knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. Nonetheless, in case there is an unforeseen need, the accompanying proxy gives discretionary authority to the persons named on the proxy with respect to any other matters that might be brought before the Annual Meeting or at any postponement or adjournment of the Annual Meeting. Those persons intend to vote that proxy in accordance with their judgment.
Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?
Only shareholders of record of our Class A ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each (the “Ordinary Shares”), as of the close of business on May 27, 2026 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice and to vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof. On the Record Date, 40,837,773 Ordinary Shares were issued and outstanding.
Each Ordinary Share in issue as at the Record Date is entitled on a poll to one vote on each matter properly brought before the Annual Meeting. Each resolution put to the vote at the Annual Meeting will be decided by poll. The enclosed proxy card or voting instruction card shows the number of shares you are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
Shareholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name
If on the Record Date your Ordinary Shares were registered directly in your name with the Company, then you are a shareholder of record. As a shareholder of record, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, to ensure your vote is counted, we encourage you to vote either online or by filling out and returning the enclosed proxy card.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank
If on the Record Date your Ordinary Shares were held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer, or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of such shares held in “street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered the shareholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the Ordinary Shares in your account. Your broker will not be able to vote your Ordinary Shares unless your broker receives specific voting instructions from you.
What constitutes a quorum and how will votes be counted?
No business shall be transacted at the Annual Meeting unless a quorum is present. The presence, in person or by proxy, of one or more persons holding at least a majority in par value of the issued Ordinary Shares conferring the right to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting will be a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for the purposes of establishing a quorum. Broker non-votes and abstentions will not be taken into account in determining the outcome of a proposal. In the event that a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting, the Annual Meeting may be adjourned in order to permit the further solicitation of proxies.
Votes Required
Assuming a quorum is present as set out above, the proposal requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes of the shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy on the proposal.
How do I vote?
Your shares may only be voted at the Annual Meeting if you are entitled to vote and present in person or are represented by proxy. Regardless of whether you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to vote by proxy to ensure that your shares will be represented.
You may vote before or during the Annual Meeting online in accordance with the instructions included in the proxy card. Online voting procedures are designed to authenticate the identities of shareholders, to allow shareholders to vote their shares and to confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded.
Revoking Your Proxy
Even if you execute a proxy, you retain the right to revoke it and to change your vote by notifying us at any time but no later than two hours before the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the proxy is voted. Mere attendance at the Annual Meeting will not revoke a proxy. A revocation may be effected by following the instructions for voting on your proxy card or vote instruction form. Unless so revoked, the Ordinary Shares represented by proxies, if received in time, will be voted in accordance with the directions given therein. However, if you are a shareholder of record, delivery of a proxy would not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the Annual Meeting and, in such event, the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.
If the Annual Meeting is postponed or adjourned for any reason, at any subsequent reconvening of the Annual Meeting, all proxies will be voted in the same manner as the proxies would have been voted at the original convening of the Annual Meeting (except for any proxies that have at that time effectively been revoked or withdrawn), even if the proxies had been effectively voted on the same or any other matter at a previous Annual Meeting that was postponed or adjourned.
Proxy Solicitation Costs
We will bear the entire cost of this solicitation of proxies, including the preparation, assembly, printing, and mailing of the proxy materials that we may provide to our shareholders. Copies of solicitation material will be provided to brokerage firms, fiduciaries and custodians holding Ordinary Shares in their names that are beneficially owned by others so that they may forward the solicitation material to such beneficial owners. We may solicit proxies by mail, and the officers and employees of the Company, who will receive no extra compensation therefor, may solicit proxies personally or by telephone. The Company will reimburse brokerage houses and other nominees for their expenses incurred in sending proxies and proxy materials to the beneficial owners of Ordinary Shares held by them.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 — RE-ELECTION OF CLASS I DIRECTOR
The Board is responsible for managing the business of the Company, including establishing broad corporate policies and monitoring the overall performance of the Company. It selects the Company’s executive officers, delegates authority for the conduct of the Company’s day-to-day operations to those officers, and monitors their performance. Members of the Board are kept informed of the Company’s business by participating in Board and committee meetings, by reviewing analysis and reports, and through discussions with the Chief Executive Officer and other officers.
Pursuant to the Company’s articles of association (the “Articles”), the directors of the Company are divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III with each class consisting of as nearly equal number of directors as possible and directors assigned to each class by resolution of the Board. The Class I directors stand appointed for a term expiring at the Company’s first annual general meeting after the adoption of the Articles, which is this Annual Meeting. At the Annual Meeting, shareholders are being asked to re-elect Candice Beaumont, for a term of office expiring at the Company’s third succeeding annual general meeting after her appointment, being the Company’s 2029 annual general meeting, or until her successor is duly elected and qualified or until her earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Articles.
If, as a result of circumstances not now known or foreseen, the nominee is unavailable to serve as a nominee for director at the time of the Annual Meeting, the holders of the proxies solicited by this proxy statement may vote those proxies for the election of a substitute nominee who will be designated by the proxy holders or by the present Board. The Board has no reason to believe that the nominee will be unwilling or unable to serve, if elected as a director.

Director Qualifications — General
Directors are responsible for overseeing our business consistent with their fiduciary duty to shareholders. This significant responsibility requires highly skilled individuals with various qualities, attributes and professional experience. The Board believes that there are general requirements for service on our Board that are applicable to all directors and that there are other skills and experience that should be represented on the Board as a whole but not necessarily by each director. When evaluating candidates for nomination as new directors, the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board consider the qualifications of director candidates individually and in the broader context of the Board’s overall composition and our current and future needs.
Qualifications, Attributes, Skills and Experience to be Represented on the Board as a Whole
The Board comprises a highly experienced group of leaders with deep expertise across mining, natural resources, investment management, corporate finance, capital markets, insurance, risk management, strategic transformation, governance, and international business development.

Their backgrounds include executive leadership of public and private companies, private equity and venture capital investment, mergers and acquisitions, capital raising, IPO execution, corporate strategy, business transformation, and operational management.
The Board possesses significant expertise in the global mining and natural resources sector, including exploration, geology, project development, feasibility studies, technical due diligence, resource reporting standards (NI 43-101, JORC/CIM), mining finance, and the evaluation and management of large-scale mining projects, particularly in Africa, Central Asia, and Europe.

The Board also benefits from extensive expertise in risk assessment, insurance, governance, and regulatory oversight, including leadership within the Lloyd’s insurance market and experience managing large underwriting portfolios and complex commercial risks.
Several directors have substantial international experience, having worked across North America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. This provides the Company with valuable insight into global markets, cross-border transactions, stakeholder engagement, and international business development.
The directors possess strong governance and advisory credentials through service on public company boards, private company boards, family office advisory councils, investment committees, and industry organizations. Their experience includes guiding companies through periods of growth, transformation, restructuring, public listings, and strategic transactions.
