**Brett Smith’s Address at Mount Gibson’s 2025 Annual General Meeting**
Good morning, everyone. Welcome to Mount Gibson’s 2025 Annual General Meeting. My name is Brett Smith, and I’m the Chairman — the new Chairman — of the company. I’m pleased to welcome you all to this meeting.
This year, we have elected to hold the AGM as a hybrid event. This format enables shareholders who cannot attend in person to dial in via the Compuserve platform, ensuring wider participation.
Firstly, I’d like to introduce my fellow non-executive directors. Simon, please put your hand up, mate. Thank you.
For your reference, a copy of our 2024 Annual General Meeting minutes is available for inspection at the entrance of the room. Please feel free to grab one as you arrive.
Moving on to Slide 2, I’ve been advised that we have a quorum, and therefore, I formally declare the meeting open.
I will begin with my Chairman’s address, followed by the formal business proceedings, and then our CEO will deliver his address. Afterward, all shareholders are invited to ask any questions they may have. We will conclude with tea and coffee, where everyone is welcome to join us for informal discussions.
As I mentioned, I’m Brett Smith, the new Chairman, and I’m glad to have the opportunity to speak to you all for the first time in this role.
I must address a recent incident at Koolan Island which has impacted what we had originally planned to share with you today. There was a significant rockfall, which has necessitated the suspension of mining operations in the Main Pit due to safety concerns.
On a more personal note, this incident brings to mind a story from my past. Many years ago, when I was an engineer at Mt Isa, I was involved in a shutdown of the lead smelter. During that time, a load separated and fell, tragically causing a fatality. This experience has deeply influenced my commitment to workplace safety, which remains our utmost priority.
Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to a productive meeting.
