Communication Strategy

Strategy

The directors of Conquest Mining Limited ("Conquest") recognise the importance of forthright communication and in order to prosper and achieve growth, it must (among other things) earn the trust of employees, customers, suppliers, communities and shareholders by being forthright in its communications and consistently delivering on its commitments.

Information Disclosure

In accordance with the disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the Australian Stock Exchange ("ASX") Listing Rules, Conquest follows the following three main forms of information disclosure:

continuous disclosure - which is its core disclosure obligation and primary method of informing the market and shareholders;
periodic disclosure - in the form of full-year and half-year reporting and the quarterly reporting of exploration, production and development information together with corporate activities;
specific information disclosure - as and when required, of administrative and corporate details, usually in the form of ASX releases.

Directors are committed to the promotion of investor confidence by ensuring that trade in the Company's securities takes place in an efficient, competitive and informed market.

As such, Conquest will comply with the continuous disclosure obligations contained in the applicable Listing Rules of the Australian Stock Exchange and in so doing will immediately notify the market by announcing to the ASX on which its securities are listed, any information in relation to the business of Conquest that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on, or lead to a substantial movement in, the price or value of securities.

Further, all information made available to the ASX is immediately available to shareholders and the market on the company's website. The company's website is www.conquestmining.com.au. The board aims to ensure that shareholders are kept informed of all major developments affecting Conquest. Hence, in addition to its market disclosure, the Directors ensure shareholders are kept informed through a variety of other means:

Shareholders can gain access to information about the company, including the annual report, half yearly and quarterly reports, the Chairman’s address delivered at the Annual General Meeting, key policies and other important information through the website at www.conquestmining.com.au
In conducting briefings, Conquest takes care to ensure that any price-sensitive information released is made available to all shareholders (institutional and private) and the market at the same time and in accordance with the requirements of the ASX on which the company is listed.
Information is also released by email to all persons who have requested their name to be added to the contact database. Any person wishing to be added to this database can do so by contacting the Company Secretary on (08) 9240 4111.
The principal communication with private investors is through the provision of the Annual Report and financial statements and the Annual General Meetings. The Annual Report is not only available to shareholders via the website but is mailed to the shareholders on an annual basis. Notice of the Annual General Meetings is posted to shareholders at least 28 days in advance of the meeting. Shareholders also receive notices in relation to all meetings in which shareholders are permitted to attend.

Participation at General Meetings

The directors recognise the rights of shareholders and encourage the effective exercise of those rights through the following means:

Notice of meetings are distributed in accordance with the Corporation's Act and provide shareholders with the opportunity to attend general meetings.
Shareholders are encouraged to use their attendance at meetings to ask questions on any matter, with time being specifically set aside for shareholder queries.
In the event that a resolution is proposed, notices encourage shareholders participation through appointment of proxies.
The company is obliged under the Corporation Act to provide the auditor with notice of a general meeting. The company has a policy of encouraging auditor attendance. In the event that the company's auditor or their representative attends the annual general meeting, the chairperson of that meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity for members to ask questions of the auditor concerning the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the auditor's report.
