Dear Shareholder

I am pleased to enclose the Notice of the Annual General Meeting (the "Meeting") of Adriatic Metals Plc (the "Company") to be held on 22 May 2024 at 9:00am (London time) (4:00pm Australian Western Standard Time). The formal Notice of Meeting is attached to this letter.

2024 Meeting Arrangements

This year we will be holding a hybrid Meeting. The Meeting will be held at, and broadcast from, 3 Hanover Square, London W1S 1HD, United Kingdom. Shareholders are invited to attend and participate in the Meeting electronically.

We strongly encourage that Shareholders join the Meeting electronically as this will provide a more efficient and effective platform for Shareholders to engage in the Meeting. Board members present at the Meeting will not be available for interactions with the Shareholders in person as they will be taking part in the Meeting broadcast. The Board will arrange for the minimum quorum required to be present at the physical meeting in accordance with the Company's articles of association. We do not intend that other Shareholders attend the physical meeting. A user guide can be found on pages 14 and 15 in respect of the electronic elements of the Meeting.

Shareholders (other than CDI holders) joining the Meeting electronically will be able to vote at the Meeting, however, we would strongly advise that all Shareholders appoint a proxy (please see "Explanatory Notes" on pages9 to 13 of the Notice for further details on how to submit proxy votes) to ensure that all votes are counted even if Shareholders are unable to attend the Meeting on the day.

We would also encourage Shareholders to submit any questions in advance of the Meeting by email to the Company's Head of Investor Relations, Klara Kaczmarek at klara.kaczmarek@adriaticmetals.comby 6:00pm (London time) on 20 May 2024. This will help to ensure your questions are answered even if Shareholders are unable to join the Meeting on the day. Answers to pre-submitted questions will be published on the Company's website after the Meeting.

Please see the "Explanatory Notes" on pages 9 to 15 of the Notice for further details on the arrangements for this year's hybrid Meeting.

Business of the Meeting and Board Recommendation

At this year's Meeting there are 12 Resolutions which Shareholders are asked to approve. Resolutions 1 to 9 (inclusive) are proposed as ordinary resolutions. This means that for each of those Resolutions to be passed, more than half of the votes cast must be in favour of the Resolution. Resolutions 10 to 12 (inclusive) are proposed as special resolutions. This means that for each of those Resolutions to be passed, at least three-quarters of the votes cast at the Meeting must be in favour of the Resolution. Notes on the Resolutions appear under "Explanatory Notes" on pages 16 to 23 of the Notice.

The Directors consider that all of the Resolutions to be considered at the Meeting are in the best interests of the Company and its members as a whole. The Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of all the proposed Resolutions, as they intend to do in respect of their own shareholdings (subject to any voting exclusions referred to in the Notice), representing in aggregate approximately 6.6% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital.

Yours sincerely

Michael Rawlinson
