        Meeting of the Company or, if earlier, 
        at the close of business on the 
        date falling 15 months from the 
        date of the passing of this Resolution, 
        save that the Company may before 
        such expiry make an offer or agreement 
        which would or might require Equity 
        Securities to be issued or granted 
        after such expiry and the Directors 
        may issue or grant Equity Securities 
        in pursuance of such an offer or 
        agreement as if the authority conferred 
        by the above resolution had not 
        expired. This Resolution is in substitution 
        for all unexercised authorities 
        previously granted to the Directors 
        of the Company to issue or grant 
        Equity Securities in the capital 
        of the Company as if the pre-emption 
        rights contained in Article 9.9 
        of the Articles of Incorporation 
        of the Company did not apply to 
        such issue or grant.                          135,066,664   80,075,843   1,170,887

ABOUT BUSHVELD MINERALS LIMITED

Bushveld Minerals is a low-cost, vertically integrated primary vanadium producer. It is one of only three operating primary vanadium producers, owning 2 of the world's 4 operating primary vanadium processing facilities. In 2020, the Company produced more than 3,600 mtV, representing approximately three per cent of the global vanadium market. With a diversified vanadium product portfolio serving the needs of the steel, energy and chemical sectors, the Company participates in the entire vanadium value chain through its two main pillars: Bushveld Vanadium, which mines and processes vanadium ore; and Bushveld Energy, an energy storage solutions provider. Bushveld Vanadium is targeting to materially grow its vanadium production and achieve an annualised steady state production run rate of between 5,000 mtVp.a. and 5,400 mtVp.a by the end of 2022, from projects currently being implemented. Beyond that, pre-feasibility studies are in progress to determine the optimal path to increase production even further to a steady state production run rate of between 6,400 mtVp.a. and 6,800 mtVp.a. in the medium-term and to a steady state production run rate of 8,400 mtVp.a in the long term.

Bushveld Energy is focused on developing and promoting the role of vanadium in the growing global energy storage market through the advancement of vanadium-based energy storage systems, specifically Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries ("VRFBs").
