CHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS

I will now provide a brief update on the Company's activities.

As Chair, I am pleased to take this opportunity, to share with you my views on Bastion Minerals and where we are today, and my thoughts on the forward strategy for our Company.

I would like to start with a few comments, and then we will go through a short update on the Company's activities.

Following the successful listing of Bastion Minerals on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in March 2021, the Company has been extremely busy building a solid foundation for discovery at Capote, Cometa and Garin projects, located in the mineral-rich Atacama region of Chile.

We maintain our focus on making the next significant gold discovery in Chile that will drive value creation. We believe that the combination of our innovative geoscience, our exploration capability and our sustainable business model applied to world-class mineral belts, will lead us to the next discovery.

As COVID-19 disrupted the global economy, businesses, and personal lives everywhere in the world; perhaps counter intuitively, the gold and copper market embarked on an unprecedented run of growth, led by anticipated global economic recovery and the shift towards a low carbon economy.

With this backdrop, I'm proud to say Bastion has continued to operate safely and without disruption.

Our Chilean team led by our Country Manger Alvaro Trujillo and Chief Geologist Mat Brown have made tremendous progress and I thank them for their contributions throughout our first year as a public company.

At our flagship Capote Gold Project, we successfully consolidated the entire district entering a binding Agreement to acquire 100% of the high-grade San Juan Gold Project and surrounding licences within Capote Mining District. This transformational agreement has the potential to transform Bastion into a significant future gold producer. Extensive groundwork at Capote, including geological mapping, geochemistry and detailed geophysics has identified numerous high-priority drill ready targets. We have good news on final environmental and drill permits; and expect them to be approved in coming weeks. In the background our team on the ground and drilling contractors are preparing for the first modern exploration drill program to be conducted in this historically significant gold district in the next few weeks.

The Company plans to undertake an approximately 5,000-metre diamond drilling program, with a focus on testing the shallow surface expression of multiple vein systems where high-grade gold has been returned from recent rock-chip campaigns

At our Cometa Copper Project, detailed field works has identified five large-scale copper target areas across the project. While a helicopter borne magnetic and radiometric survey was completed over the entire Garin Gold-Silver Project. The program identified multiple large-scale copper porphyry signatures.

I would also like to recognise our shareholders and their commitment to the Company, we appreciate the patience and support they have provided us throughout the year and look forward to providing them with results that reward their interest in our business and its strategy.

I would like to also take the opportunity to thank the board for their support and contribution during the year. I would like to thank Dr Andrew Stewart in his role and the support he has provided me in driving the Company forward.
