Asiamet Resources Limited (the “Company”) is committed to maintaining the highest standards in corporate governance throughout its operations and to ensure all of its practices are conducted transparently, ethically and
efficiently. The Company believes scrutinising all aspects of its business and reflecting, analysing and improving its procedures will result in the continued success of the Company and improve shareholder value. Therefore, and in
accordance with the AIM Rules for Companies (March 2018), the Company has chosen to formalise its governance policies by complying with the UK’s Quoted Companies Alliance Corporate Governance Code (the “QCA Code”).
Throughout the past year, the Company has complied with the QCA Code. In an effort to uphold robust systems of corporate governance, the Company periodically reviews its governance charter to ensure a high level of corporate
governance is maintained at all times. Following reviews conducted over the past 12 months, there have been no governance issues identified.

Accordingly, the Company has established specific committees and implemented certain policies, to ensure that;

• it is led by an effective Board which is collectively responsible for the long-term success of the Company;
• the Board and the committees have the appropriate balance of skills, experience, independence and knowledge of the Company to enable them to discharge their respective duties and responsibilities
  effectively;
• the Board establish a formal and transparent arrangement for considering how it applies the corporate reporting, risk management and internal control principles and for maintaining an appropriate relationship with the Company’s auditors; and
• there is a dialogue with shareholders based on the mutual understanding of objectives.

In addition, the Company has adopted a comprehensive suite of policies including:

• anti-corruption and bribery;
• whistleblowing;
• health and safety;
• environment and community;
• IT, communications and systems; and
• social media,

so that all aspects of the Company are run in a robust and responsible way.

The Board of directors is responsible for the proper management of the Company by formulating, reviewing and approving the Company’s strategy, budgets and corporate actions. In the past year, all of the directors attended all
board meetings held. To achieve its objectives, the board adopts the ten principles of the QCA Code. Through successfully implementing these principles, the Company is able to deliver medium to long-term growth for
shareholders whilst maintaining a flexible, efficient and effective management framework within an entrepreneurial environment.

It is important that the board itself contains the right mix of skills and experience in order to deliver the strategy of the Company. As such, the board is comprised of:

• an Executive Chairman (Tony Manini), whose primary responsibilities are supporting management to achieve the long term objectives of the Company, providing leadership of the Board and ensuring effective
  conduct of the Board’s function and the Company’s corporate governance model. The Chairman has a clear separation from the day-to-day business of the Company which allows him to make independent decisions;
• an Executive Director (Peter Bird), and
• three independent Non-Executive Directors (Peter Pollard, Faldi Ismail and Dominic Heaton)

The Board has not appointed a senior independent director but intends to as soon as it is prudent to do so taking into account the Company’s size and stage. Additionally, the Company has appointed a professional Company Secretary
in the UK who assists the Chairman in preparing for and running effective board meetings, including the timely dissemination of appropriate information. The Company Secretary provides advice and guidance to the extent required by the board on the legal and regulatory environment.

Each director serves on the Board until the Annual General Meeting following his election or appointment, and the board meets at least three times a year.

The Company conducts periodic reviews of its Board succession planning protocols which includes an assessment of the number of board members and relative experience of each board member vis-a-vis the Company’s requirements given its stage of development, with the goal of having in place an adequate and sufficiently experienced board at all times.

The Company has adopted a share dealing code to ensure directors and employees do not abuse, and do not place themselves under suspicion of abusing inside information of which they are in possession and to comply with its obligations under MAR which applies to the Company by virtue of its shares being traded on AIM. Furthermore, the Company’s share dealing code is compliant with the AIM Rules for Companies published by the London Stock
Exchange (as amended from time to time).

Under the share dealing code, the Company must:

• disclose all inside information to the public as soon as possible by way of market announcement unless certain circumstances exist in which the disclosure of the inside information may be delayed;
• keep a list of each person who is in possession of inside information relating to the Company;

The Company recognises that maintaining strong communications with its shareholders promotes transparency and will drive value in the medium to long-term. Accordingly, the Company will provide regular updates on the progress of the Company, detailing recent business and strategy developments, in news releases which will be posted on the Company’s website and through certain social media channels. In addition to the publication of its Annual Report and announcements on its website in compliance with AIM Rule 26, the Company has elected to host its AGMs in London. Although the Company is incorporated under the laws of Bermuda, the Directors believe hosting the AGM in London will enhance engagement with the Company’s shareholders by making the meeting more accessible. In order to continually improve transparency, the board would be delighted to receive feedback from shareholders. Communications should be directed to [email protected]. The CEO has been appointed to manage the
relationship between the Company and its shareholders and will review and report to the board on any communications received.

There are a number of key relationships and resources that are fundamental to the Company’s success, which include, amongst other things, relationships with local communities, governments, suppliers, contractors, employees and
customers. These relationships are key components to the successful running of the Company’s projects and are reviewed by the Board and management on a regular basis to ensure that all potential risks are mitigated. To the extent
any issues or concerns come to light following such review, or upon engagement with such stakeholders, the Company seeks to address matters in an expeditious manner in order to preserve and strengthen relationships.
