Dear Shareholder

Annual General Meeting of the Company

1. Introduction and COVID-19 special arrangements

Please find enclosed details of the Annual General Meeting to be held at the offices of Druces LLP, Salisbury House, London Wall, London EC2M 5PS, United Kingdom on 30th September 2020 at 10:30 a.m. The formal Notice of the AGM is set out on pages 9 to 10 of this document.

The Company is closely monitoring developments relating to the current outbreak of COVID- 19, including the related public health guidance and legislation issued by the UK Government. As at the date of this letter, the UK Government has prohibited indoor public gatherings, save in certain limited circumstances.

In light of these measures, the AGM will be run as a closed meeting and Shareholders will not be able to attend in person. Myself and certain of the other Directors will join the AGM by telephone or by other electronic media. The Company will ensure that the legal requirements to hold the AGM can be satisfied through the attendance of a minimum number of Directors or employee shareholders, either in person or by electronic means.

Although Shareholders are not able to attend the AGM in person this year, shareholder engagement and participation remains important to us. We strongly encourage Shareholders to participate in the business of the AGM by alternative means.

I would encourage you to please vote by proxy on the Resolutions set out on pages 9 and 10. Details of how to do this can be found on pages 11 to 13. Given the restrictions on attendance, members are strongly encouraged to appoint the 'Chair of the Meeting' as their proxy rather than a named person who will not be permitted to attend the meeting.

We welcome questions from Shareholders, and should you have any questions on specific business set out in this Notice of Meeting, please email these to us in advance, by email to cosec@pantheraresources.com by by no later than 5.00 p.m. on Friday 28th September 2020. Following the meeting, we will publish details of the business conducted at the AGM (including responses to questions) on our website at www.pantheraresources.com.

The Company must answer any such question relating to the business being dealt with at the meeting but no such answer need be given if (a) to do so would interfere unduly with the preparation for the meeting or involve the disclosure of confidential information, (b) the answer has already been given on a website in the form of an answer to a question, or (c) it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the meeting that the question be answered.

The situation surrounding the outbreak of COVID-19 is constantly evolving. The Board may reconsider whether Shareholders should be allowed to attend the AGM in the event that updated publichealth guidance or legislation is issued by the UK Government (taking into account first and foremost the health and safety of attendees). Any changes to the AGM arrangements will be communicated to shareholders before the AGM through our website at www.pantheraresources.com and, where appropriate, by announcement by a Regulatory News Service.

3. Explanatory notes to the Notice of Annual General Meeting

The notes on the following pages give an explanation of the proposed Resolutions. Resolutions 1 to 5 are proposed as ordinary resolutions. This means for each of those Resolutions to be passed, more than half of the votes cast must be in favour of the Resolution. Resolution 6 is proposed as a special resolution. This means that for this Resolution to be passed, at least three quarters of the votes cast must be in favour of this Resolution. The business of the meeting will be to consider and if thought fit pass the following resolutions:

Ordinary resolution 1: Receiving and Considering the Accounts

To receive and adopt the Company's annual accounts for the financial year ended 31 March 2020 together with the Directors' report and auditor's report on those accounts ("the Accounts"). Due to the problems relating to Covid 19 the Accounts were not available at the time of posting this circular. The AGM will adjourn this item to a fixed date when the Accounts will have been circulated for the appropriate length of time. All other resolutions will be dealt with before the AGM is adjourned.

Ordinary resolutions 2: Re-election of Director

The Board recommends the re-election of Mark Bolton as a Director of the Company who is retiring by rotation pursuant to article 83 of the articles of association of the Company (the "Articles"). Mr Bolton being eligible, offers himself for re-appointment.

Mr Bolton joins Panthera from his role as CFO of an AIM-listed oil and gas producer where he has played a key role in resolving a number of complex legacy issues including a long standing dispute with its joint venture partner, an Indian state-owned company. Prior to that role, Mr Bolton held executive roles at La Mancha Australia and First Quantum Minerals Ltd where he aided in the management and financing of several new project development opportunities, in many challenging jurisdictions. Mr Bolton commenced his career at Ernst & Young, stepping down as a Director in Ernst & Young's Corporate Finance business.

Mr Bolton has considerable experience in the development and financing of new minerals projects, particularly in emerging economies. He has held senior executive roles in many companies listed on the AIM, ASX, LSE and TSX.

Ordinary resolutions 3: Re-election of Director

The Board recommends the re-election of Michael Higgins as a Director of the Company who is retiring by rotation pursuant to article 83 of the Articles. Mr Higgins being eligible, offers himself for re-appointment.

Mr Higgins graduated in 1972 from the University of New South Wales (Sydney campus), majoring in geology. His international experience in the mineral resources sector has included 20 years with Shell/Billiton Group companies at senior executive levels. This included work in all facets of base and precious metals exploration and business development worldwide, and involvement in two major, multi-million-ounce gold discoveries from grassroots stage. Mr Higgins went on to set up several junior exploration and development companies, two of which listed via RTO on the ASX and TSX-V. He is a founding director of IGL.

Ordinary resolution 4: Re-appointment of auditors

To confirm the re-appointment of PKF Littlejohn LLP as the Company's auditors to hold office until the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting and to grant authority to the directors of the Company to determine the auditors' remuneration.

Ordinary resolution 5: Authority to allot shares

THAT, in accordance with section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006), the directors of the Company be generally and unconditionally authorised to allot shares in the Company or grant rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares in the Company (Rights) up to an aggregate nominal amount of £424,922 provided that this authority shall, unless renewed, varied or revoked by the Company, expire on the date of the next annual general meeting held by the Company following the passing of this resolution save that the Company may, before such expiry, make an offer or agreement which would or might require shares to be allotted or Rights to be granted and the Directors may allot shares or grant Rights in pursuance of such offer or agreement notwithstanding that the authority conferred by this resolution has expired.

This authority revokes and replaces all unused authorities previously granted to the Directors.

Special resolution 6: Dis-application of pre-emption rights

THAT, the Directors be empowered pursuant to section 571 of the CA 2006 to allot equity securities (as defined in section 560 of the CA 2006) pursuant to the general authority conferred by resolution 1 as if section 561(1) of the CA 2006 did not apply to any such allotment, provided that this power shall be limited to allotments of equity securities:

  1. in connection with a rights issue, to the holders of shares in the Company and other persons entitled to participate therein in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to their respective holdings, subject to such exclusions or other arrangements as the Directors may consider necessary or expedient to deal with fractional entitlements or legal or practical problems under the laws of any territory or the regulations or requirements of any regulatory authority or any stock exchange in any territory; and
  2. otherwise than pursuant to sub-paragraph (a) above, up to an aggregate nominal amount of £424,922,

and this power shall, unless previously revoked or varied by special resolution of the Company in general meeting, expire upon the expiry of the authority conferred by resolution 5, save that the Directors shall be entitled to make offers or agreements before the expiry of such power which would or might require equity securities to be allotted after such expiry, and the Directors may allot equity securities in pursuant of any such offer or agreement as if the power conferred by this resolution had not expired.

This authority revokes and replaces all unused authorities previously granted to the Directors.

4. Action to be taken

Voting on all of the proposed resolutions set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting will be conducted on a poll which reflects shareholders' voting intentions in respect of shares held and votes tendered.

We encourage Shareholders to appoint the Chairman as their proxy with their voting instructions rather than attend the AGM in person. Although the Notes to the Notice of Annual General Meeting refer to Shareholders being able to appoint a proxy or proxies, the Company would remind Shareholders that, in light of the COVID-19 measures being taken at the AGM, they will not be allowed entry to the AGM. However, the Company does value Shareholder participation and values the votes of Shareholders, so it would encourage all Shareholders to exercise their voting rights BUT ONLY by appointing the Chairman of the AGM to be their proxy. Any proxy received appointing a person other than the Chairman of the AGM as the Shareholder's proxy will be deemed to have appointed the Chairman of the AGM as that Shareholder's proxy.

Shareholders will find enclosed with this letter a Form of Proxy for use at the AGM. The Form of Proxy should be completed and returned in accordance with the instructions printed on it so as to arrive to Computershare Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS99 6ZY as soon as possible and in any event not later than 10:30 a.m. on 28 September 2020.

5. Recommendation

The Directors consider that all of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM are in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of all of the resolutions, as the Directors and management intend to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings amounting to in aggregate 10,656,342 Ordinary Shares representing approximately 12.54 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this notice.

Yours faithfully

Michael Higgins

Non-Executive Chairman
