Managing Director and CEO Remuneration


Orion Minerals Limited (ASX/JSE: ORN) (Orion or the Company) is pleased to advise that effective 1 July 2023, a
revised remuneration package has been agreed with Orion’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr
Errol Smart.

As Mr Smart’s base salary has not increased for nearly three years, the Board engaged independent consultants
to provide a review of mining industry remuneration packages for Managing Directors / CEOs of companies
similar to Orion. Based on the advice provided, the Board has approved an increase in Mr Smart’s cash
remuneration to $421,200 per annum, which also reflects the significant inflation increases in South Africa since
2020.

In addition to the cash remuneration payable to Errol, he is eligible to participate in the Company’s short-term
and long-term incentive plan.

The principal components of Mr Smart’s revised remuneration structure are set out in Appendix 1.


For and on behalf of the Board.




Denis Waddell
Chairman


25 August 2023
