ANNOUNCEMENT                                                                       8 March 2024

 RECEIPT OF NON-BINDING INDICATIVE OFFER OF BETWEEN A$0.17c AND A$0.20c FROM
                              VULCAN RESOURCES


MC Mining Limited (MC Mining or the Company) confirms that it is in receipt of a letter (Proposal
Letter) from Vulcan Resources (Vulcan). Vulcan is the operator of the Moatize Coal Mine, the largest
operating steelmaking coking coal mine in Mozambique and Africa.

The Proposal Letter outlines Vulcan’s non-binding proposal to make an off-market cash takeover offer
for all the shares in the Company at an indicative price of between A$0.17 and A$0.20 cents per share
valuing the Company’s equity at between A$69.34 million and A$81.58 million (Proposal).

The Proposal contains a number of customary conditions, including completion of a due diligence
process, and is not a binding offer currently capable of acceptance by shareholders of the Company.
The Independent Board Committee (IBC) notes that the Proposal Letter is at an indicative price range
that is higher than the current takeover offer price of A$0.16 per share by Goldway Capital Investment
Limited. There is no certainty however, that any formal offer by Vulcan will be received nor the terms
thereof.

The IBC reiterates its recommendation to shareholders NOT TO ACCEPT the current Goldway Capital
Investment Limited offer.

The IBC will evaluate the indicative terms of the Proposal Letter, including taking advice from its
financial and Australian and South African legal advisors, Adelaide Equity Partners Limited as Financial
Advisor, K&L Gates as Australian Legal Advisors and Falcon & Hume Inc. as South African Legal
Advisors.

MC Mining remains committed to keeping shareholders appraised of developments and intends to
make a further announcement when more complete and definitive details are received.
