EXPLANATORY NOTES
These Explanatory Notes have been prepared for the information of shareholders in relation to
the business to be conducted at the Company’s 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
All resolutions are ordinary resolutions and require approval of a simple majority of votes cast
at the meeting by shareholders entitled to vote and voting.
Resolution 1 – Director Re-election: Murray Stevens
Under the NZX Listing Rules, an NTL director must not hold office (without re-election) past
the third annual shareholders’ meeting following the director’s appointment, or three years,
whichever is longer. Accordingly, Murray Stevens is required to retire at this meeting. Mr
Murray, being eligible, offers himself for re-election, and the Board unanimously supports his
re-election and recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
Mr Stevens will not be an independent director (as determined by the Board using the
definition in the NZX Listing Rules), if elected, as he provides consultancy services to the
Company from time to time.
A brief biography of Mr Stevens follows:
Mr Murray Ronald Stevens, BSc, MSc(Hons), Dip.Geol.Sci, MAusIMM
Non-executive Director
Mr Stevens has BSc and MSc (Hons) degrees in geology from the University of Auckland and a
Post-graduate Diploma in Geoscience from Macquarie University in Sydney majoring in Mineral
Economics.
Mr Stevens has over 35 years of experience as a geologist and has provided consulting
services to NTL since 2002.
Mr Stevens has extensive expertise exploring for epithermal gold deposits in the Coromandel
and the wider Asia-Pacific region. He has held Senior Management and consulting roles in a
number of public and private companies and was NTL’s (formerly Heritage Gold Ltd) first
Exploration Manager from 1987 to 1996. He was instrumental in recognizing the potential for
the Talisman Mine and the Rahu area when NTL acquired these areas in the early 1990s. Mr
Stevens played a key role in the original discovery made at Rahu and was the exploration
consultant for NTL when the work undertaken between 2003 and 2006 delineated the current
resources at Talisman.
Resolution 2 – Auditor Remuneration
Section 207T of the Companies Act 1993 provides that a company’s auditor is automatically
reappointed unless the shareholders resolve to appoint a replacement auditor or there is some
other reason for the auditor not to be reappointed. The Company wishes for Scott Bennison of
KS Black & Co to continue as the auditor of the Company, and Scott Bennison at KS Black & Co
has indicated his willingness to continue in office.
Section 207S of the Companies Act 1993 provides that the fees and expenses of the auditor
are to be fixed in such a manner as the Company determines at the annual shareholder
meeting. The Board proposes that, consistent with past practice, the auditor’s fees and
expenses be fixed by the Directors. The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders
vote in favour of Resolution 2.
