Rod Venables Company Secretary 20 February 2026 Registered Office: Sunrise House, Hulley Road, Macclesfield, Cheshire SK10 2LP United Kingdom Annual General Meeting - Explanatory Notes The Annual General Meeting of Tertiary Minerals plc will be held at 10.00 a.m. on Thursday 19 March 2026 at Mottram Hall, Wilmslow Road, Mottram, Cheshire SK10 4QT. The Directors consider that the proposed resolutions contained in the Notice of Annual General Meeting are in the best interests of the Company and shareholders as a whole and unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of them, as they intend to do in respect of their own shareholdings. The business of the Meeting is as follows: ORDINARY BUSINESS Resolution 1 The Board is presenting to the Meeting the Accounts and the Reports of the directors and the Auditor for the year ended 30 September 2025 which can be found on pages 5 to 58. Resolution 2 The Company's Articles of Association require that directors retire at least once every three years and offer themselves for re-election if they and the Board so wish. Mr P L Cheetham is retiring as a director of the Company in accordance with the Articles of Association and the Board proposes that he be re-elected. Mr Cheetham's biographical details can be found on page 22. Resolution 3 Dr R W Belcher will be retiring as a director of the Company in accordance with the Articles of Association, having been appointed as a director and Managing Director on 7 March 2025. Dr Belcher offers himself for election and the Board proposes that he be elected. Dr Belcher's biographical details can be found on page 22. Resolution 4 Mr D A R McAlister is retiring as a director of the Company and the Board proposes that he be re-elected. Mr D A R McAlister, is considered independent of management and free from any business or other relationship which could materially interfere with the exercise of his independent judgement. In compliance with good practice, he will continue to seek annual re-election where practicable, rather than every third year as per the Articles of Association. He continues to provide valuable advice based on his long experience of the mining industry. Mr McAlister's biographical details can be found on page 22. Resolution 5 The Company's Auditor, Crowe U.K. LLP is offering itself for reappointment and if elected will hold office until the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting at which accounts are laid before shareholders. This resolution will also authorise the directors to fix the remuneration of the Auditor. SPECIAL BUSINESS Resolution 6 This resolution is to give the directors authority to issue shares. The last such authority was put in place at the Annual General Meeting of shareholders held on 6 March 2025 but it will expire at the coming Annual General Meeting. Section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 requires that directors be authorised by shareholders before any share capital can be issued. At this stage in its development the Company relies on raising funds from the equity markets, through the issue of shares, from time to time, and unless this resolution is put in place the Company will not be in a position to continue to raise funds to continue its activities or continue as a going concern. If given, this authority will expire at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting in 2027. Resolution 7 This resolution will be proposed as a Special Resolution, in the event that Resolution 6 is passed by shareholders. Resolution 7 is proposed to give the directors authority to issue shares for cash other than by way of rights issues which are, for regulatory reasons, complex, expensive, time consuming and impractical for a company the size of Tertiary Minerals plc. A similar authority granted at last year's Annual General Meeting is due to expire at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. This resolution will, if passed, authorise directors to allot shares or grant rights over shares of the Company where they propose to do so for cash and otherwise than to existing shareholders pro rata to their holdings, for example through share placings. It will allow for rounding of entitlements and to exclude the issue of shares to shareholders in jurisdictions where it would be illegal. Rights issues are prohibitively expensive for small companies. If given, this authority will expire at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting in 2027.
