Resolution 3 – Director election

John Upperton has been nominated for consideration for appointment as an additional director

under clause 26.1 of the Company’s constitution by a shareholder of the Company before the

required close-off time. Mr Upperton did not seek to engage with the Company before he was

nominated, Mr Upperton has provided the following biography and statement in support of his

nomination:

John Upperton

My name is John Kildare Upperton and I accept nomination to stand for election to the

Board of Directors of New Talisman Gold Mines Ltd. I currently hold a little more than 3%

of shares on issue.

I have a successful background in both Commercial and Residential Construction Project

Management. Alongside these projects, I have also garnered considerable experience in

aspects of the RMA and District Planning requirements, including successfully

representing myself in Environment Court.

I have 16 years’ experience as a Managing Director of a Limited Company. I have also

served on and chaired several community organisations over a 25 year period.

I have also previously held a senior management role for one of NZ's leading Manuka

Honey producers, being responsible for the negotiation and placement of bee hives

across the North Island involving more than 300 landowners.

If elected, it is my intention to bring a stronger emphasis of Delivery Targets and

Management Accountability to the Company.


The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote against Resolution 3.

Mr Upperton has nominated himself for the Board. The Board and Management of the Company

have found Mr Upperton to be hostile to the existing Board and Management.

His election is likely to cause disruption to the Company and will in the opinion of the Board and

Management be an impediment to the smooth and efficient functioning of the Board and

Company. Mr Upperton’s skills and qualifications do not bring to the Board any additional

benefits. The Company is not able to verify that the above Biography provided by Mr Upperton

is accurate.


Resolution 4 – 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 4.


5
PARTICIPATION IN VIRTUAL MEETING

Due to limitations on travel relating to COVID-19, the Annual Meeting will be held virtually. All

shareholders will have the opportunity to attend and participate in the Annual Meeting online via

an internet connection using a computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone. Shareholders will not

proxy holder is not the New Talisman Chairman). This is reliant on shareholders disclosing

their nominated proxy’s email address when they appoint their proxy.
