Dear Manager

Goldway Capital Investment Limited - Notice of Variation of Offer (Extension of Offer
Period)

Goldway Capital Investment Limited (company registration number 3294426) (Goldway)
refers to its off-market takeover offer for all of the ordinary shares in MC Mining Limited ACN
008 905 388 (ASX: MCM) (Offer).

Goldway attaches by way of service:
i.          pursuant to section 650D of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (as modified by
            ASIC Corporations (Takeover Bids) Instrument 2023/683) (Corporations Act) a
            notice extending the period during which the Offer will remain open for
            acceptance to 7.00pm (Sydney time) / 10.00am (South Africa time) on Friday,
            19 April 2024; and
ii.         pursuant to section 630(2) of the Corporations Act a notice of the new date for
            giving notice on the status of the conditions of the Offer set out in Section 13.9 of
            Goldway's bidder's statement dated 2 February 2024 as a result of the extension
            of the period during which the Offer will remain open for acceptance.


The Offer was due to close at 7.00pm (Sydney time) / 10.00am (South Africa time) on
Friday, 5 April 2024. ASIC has granted relief to Goldway to allow Goldway to extend the
close of the Offer period from 7.00pm (Sydney time) / 10.00am (South Africa time) on Friday,
5 April 2024 to 7.00pm (Sydney time) / 10.00am (South Africa time) on Friday, 19 April 2024.
Absent such ASIC relief, section 650C(2) of the Corporations Act prevents Goldway from
extending the Offer after giving of a notice of status of defeating conditions under section
630(3) of the Corporations Act (which Goldway gave on Friday, 22 March 2024) if the Offer
remains subject to one or more defeating conditions. The Offer remains subject to defeating
conditions and a notice of status of defeating conditions will be released on ASX, RNS and
SENS on Friday, 5 April 2024.


The notice was lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission and sent
to ASX and MCM today.

      NOTICE OF VARIATION OF OFFER - EXTENSION OF OFFER PERIOD
        Sections 650D and 630(2)(b) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)

To:     Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC)
        ASX Limited
        MC Mining Limited ACN 008 905 388 (MCM)
        Each MCM shareholder, and other person, referred to in section 650D(1)(c) of the
        Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (as modified by ASIC Corporations (Takeover Bids)
        Instrument 2023/683)


Goldway Capital Investment Limited (company registration number 3294426) (Goldway) has
made offers under an off-market takeover bid for all of the ordinary shares in MCM (Offer).
The Offer is contained in the bidder's statement issued by Goldway dated 2 February 2024
(as supplemented on 15 February 2024, 14 March 2024, 21 March 2024 and 28 March
2024) (Bidder's Statement).
Goldway notes that under the Bidder's Statement, the Offer was due to close at 7.00pm
(Sydney time) / 10.00am (South Africa time) on Friday, 5 April 2024 (unless extended further
under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act)).
ASIC relief to extend the Offer period
Goldway wishes to advise that it applied for ASIC relief to further extend the Offer to 7.00pm
(Sydney time) / 10.00am (South Africa time) on Friday, 19 April 2024 (representing a further
extension to the Offer of fourteen days). Absent such ASIC relief, Goldway would not
otherwise be able to further extend the Offers, as:
i.         the Offer remains subject to a 50.1% minimum acceptance condition which
           cannot be waived by Goldway; and
ii.        section 650C(2) of the Corporations Act prevents Goldway from extending the
           Offer after the giving of a notice of status of defeating conditions under section
           630(3) of the Corporations Act (which Goldway gave on Friday, 22 March 2024) if
           the Offer remains subject to one or more defeating conditions.
Goldway sought the further fourteen day extension to allow sufficient time to allow MCM
shareholders who have not yet accepted the Offer the opportunity to do so.
Extension of Offer period
ASIC has advised that it has decided to grant the relief sought by Goldway. As such,
Goldway gives notice under section 650D(1) of the Corporations Act that it varies the Offer
by:
i.          extending the close of the Offer period from 7.00pm (Sydney time) / 10.00am
            (South Africa time) on Friday, 5 April 2024 to 7.00pm (Sydney time) / 10.00am
            (South Africa time) on Friday, 19 April 2024; and
ii.         substituting the date "5 April 2024" with the date "19 April 2024" in the Bidder's
            Statement, the Acceptance Form and in all other instances where 5 April 2024
            appears (or is deemed to appear) as the last day of the Offer period.


                                                                                          Page 4
New date for giving notice of status of conditions which the Offer is subject
Goldway gives notice under section 630(2) of the Corporations Act that:
i.         the new date for giving notice of the status of the conditions of the Offer is Friday,
           5 April 2024; and
ii.        as at the date of this notice:

           a.        the defeating condition set out in paragraph (h) of Section 13.9 of the
                     Bidder's Statement (No prescribed occurrences prior to dispatch) has
                     been fulfilled on 2 February 2024 (as stated in the notice given by
                     Goldway under section 630(3) of the Corporations Act on 22 March
                     2024); and

           b.        no other defeating condition set out in Section 13.9 of the Bidder's
                     Statement have been fulfilled and accordingly, the Offer remains subject
                     to those defeating conditions.

A copy of this notice was lodged with ASX and ASIC on 4 April 2024. Neither ASX nor ASIC
takes any responsibility for the contents of this notice.
A copy of this notice is also being posted by Goldway to each MCM shareholder, and other
person, referred to in section 650D(1)(c) of the Corporations Act (as modified by ASIC
