Our corporate governance statement[1] for the period above can be found at:[2]

These pages of our annual report: This URL on our www.aurisminerals.com.au website:

The Corporate Governance Statement is accurate and up to date as at 9 September 2021 and has been approved by the board.

The annexure includes a key to where our corporate governance disclosures can be located.[3]

Date: 9 September 2021 Name of authorised officer Chris Achurch – Company Secretary on behalf of the Board of authorising lodgement: Directors.

1 “Corporate governance statement” is defined in Listing Rule 19.12 to mean the statement referred to in Listing Rule 4.10.3 which discloses the extent to which an entity has followed the recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council during a particular reporting period.

Listing Rule 4.10.3 requires an entity that is included in the official list as an ASX Listing to include in its annual report either a corporate governance statement that meets the requirements of that rule or the URL of the page on its website where such a statement is located. The corporate governance statement must disclose the extent to which the entity has followed the recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council during the reporting period. If the entity has not followed a recommendation for any part of the reporting period, its corporate governance statement must separately identify that recommendation and the period during which it was not followed and state its reasons for not following the recommendation and what (if any) alternative governance practices it adopted in lieu of the recommendation during that period.

Under Listing Rule 4.7.4, if an entity chooses to include its corporate governance statement on its website rather than in its annual report, it must lodge a copy of the corporate governance statement with ASX at the same time as it lodges its annual report with ASX. The corporate governance statement must be current as at the effective date specified in that statement for the purposes of Listing Rule 4.10.3.

Under Listing Rule 4.7.3, an entity must also lodge with ASX a completed Appendix 4G at the same time as it lodges its annual report with ASX. The Appendix 4G serves a dual purpose. It acts as a key designed to assist readers to locate the governance disclosures made by a listed entity under Listing Rule 4.10.3 and under the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s recommendations. It also acts as a verification tool for listed entities to confirm that they have met the disclosure requirements of Listing Rule 4.10.3.

The Appendix 4G is not a substitute for, and is not to be confused with, the entity's corporate governance statement. They serve different purposes and an entity must produce each of them separately.

2 Tick whichever option is correct and then complete the page number(s) of the annual report, or the URL of the web page, where your corporate governance statement can be found. You can, if you wish, delete the option which is not applicable.

3 Throughout this form, where you are given two or more options to select, you can, if you wish, delete any option which is not applicable and just retain the option that is applicable. If you select an option that includes “OR” at the end of the selection and you delete the other options, you can also, if you wish, delete the “OR” at the end of the selection. See notes 4 and 5 below for further instructions on how to complete this form.

independence; the requirement to comply with key corporate policies,
including the Company’s Corporate Code of Conduct, and its Securities

In the case of Executive Directors or other senior executives, the
agreements generally set out the information above (to the extent
applicable), as well as: descriptions of their positions, duties and
responsibilities; the persons or bodies to whom they report; the

The Company is required under the ASX Listing Rules to disclose the

or a subsidiary enters into with its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) (or

related party of its CEO or any of its Directors. It is also required to
disclose any material variation to such an agreement.
Recommendation 1.4
The company secretary of a listed
entity should be accountable directly
to the board, through the chair, on all
matters to do with the proper
functioning of the board.
Yes The Company Secretary of the Company is accountable directly to the
Board, through the Chairperson, on all matters to do with the proper
functioning of the Board. The Company Secretary plays an important role
in supporting the effectiveness of the Board and its Committees.
The role of the Company Secretary includes advising the Board and its
Committees on governance matters; monitoring that Board and
Committee policies and procedures are followed; co-ordinating the
timely completion and despatch of Board and Committee papers;
ensuring that the business at Board and Committee meetings is
accurately captured in the minutes; and helping to organise and facilitate
the induction and professional development of Directors.
Each Director is able to communicate directly with the Company
Secretary and vice versa. The decision to appoint or remove a Company
Secretary is made or approved by the Board.
Recommendation 1.5
A listed entity should:
(a) have and disclose a diversity
policy;

measurable objectives for
achieving gender diversity in

Company’
workforce,

employees,

management and the Board, is made up of individuals with diverse skills,
values, backgrounds and experiences that bring to the Company the skills
and expertise that are required for the Company to enhance its
performance. The Company values diversity and recognises the benefit
it can bring in achieving the Company’s goals. To this end, the Company
has a Diversity Policy Charter that reflects its commitments and
objectives, and includes requirements for the Board to annually review
performance against these objectives, as part of its annual performance
assessment.
A copy of the Diversity Policy is available in the Corporate Governance
section of the Company’s website.
Due to the current early stage, size and composition of the organisation,
the Board does not consider it appropriate to provide measurable
objectives in relation to gender. The Company is committed to ensuring
that the appropriate mix of skills, experience, expertise and diversity are
considered when employing staff at all levels of the organisation, and
when making new senior executive and Board appointments, and is
satisfied that the composition of employees, senior executives and
members is appropriate consideringits size and environment. The

The remuneration committee will oversee the evaluation of the remuneration of the Company’s senior executives. This evaluation is based on specific criteria.

The Company’s Corporate Governance Plan requires the Company to disclose whether or not performance evaluations were conducted during the relevant reporting period. The Company completes performance evaluations in respect of the senior executives (if any) for each financial year in accordance with its policy.

No The Board has adopted a Nomination Committee Charter, however given the early stage of its life cycle, small team and simple operations, has decided not to form a separate Nomination Committee.

The Board believes that no efficiencies or other benefits would be gained by establishing a separate Nomination Committee. The Board periodically reviews whether it has the appropriate balance of skills, knowledge, and experience suitable for a Company in the junior resources sector.

As the Company grows and develops, it will review the merits of establishing a formal Nomination Committee. Until then the Board carries out the duties that would ordinarily be assigned to the Nomination Committee under the written terms of reference for the committee.
