Annual General Meeting ("AGM") 2023

The Company's AGM is to be held at UK Flour Millers, 21 Arlington Street, London, SW1A 1RN at 9:30 a.m. on 18 May 2023. All shareholders are welcome to attend and are asked to arrive at the venue no later than 9.15 a.m. There will be a presentation and the opportunity for shareholders to speak with Directors in the venue at the meeting.

Relevant questions from shareholders regarding the formal business of the AGM can be raised in advance of the AGM by email to [email protected] and in so far as relevant to the business of the AGM will be responded to by email and taken into account as appropriate at the AGM itself. Voting at the AGM will be carried out by way of a poll so that the votes cast in advance by all shareholders appointing the Chairman of the Meeting as their proxy can be taken into account.

The Board recognises that the AGM is an important event for shareholders in the corporate calendar and is committed to ensuring that shareholders can exercise their right to vote and ask questions in connection with this meeting.

In addition, the proceedings of this year's AGM will be broadcast via the Investor Meet Company platform. Shareholders wishing to watch the proceedings of the AGM may register to do so at:

www.investormeetcompany.com/central-asia-metals-plc/register-investor.

The broadcast of the AGM will not be interactive and shareholders watching the meeting on this will not be able to participate in the proceedings of the meeting (please also see below regarding the subsequent management presentation). Accordingly, shareholders intending to view the AGM via the Investor Meet Company platform are strongly advised to submit proxy votes and to submit any questions in connection with the AGM itself in advance of the meeting as set out above. As is usual, the results of the AGM will be announced as soon as practical after it has taken place.

Immediately following the formal proceedings of AGM, a management presentation on the Group and its business will also broadcast via the Investor Meet Company Platform. Questions which shareholders and others would like considered in connection with this presentation can be submitted through the Investor Meet Company platform either before or during the presentation.

Investors who already follow Central Asia Metals plc on the Investor Meet Company platform should automatically receive an invitation via the platform.

Shareholders are also welcome to contact our Director of Corporate Development, Louise Wrathall, who will endeavour to answer general questions not related to the AGM, by email at [email protected] or by telephone +44 (0) 207 898 9001.
