ANGLO AMERICAN SEFA MINING FUND JOINS THE ORION SHARE REGISTER FOLLOWING
COMPLETION OF SHARE ISSUE

Orion Minerals Limited (ASX/JSE: ORN) (Orion or the Company) is pleased to advise that the issue
of Shares to South African institutional investor, the Anglo American sefa Mining Fund (AASMF)
announced on 4 March 2019, has now been completed.

AASMF subscribed for 15.75M redeemable preference shares in Repli Trading No 27 (Pty) Ltd
(Repli), a 73.33% owned subsidiary of Orion, in November 2015 at a subscription price of ZAR1 per
redeemable preference share (ZAR15.75M (~A$1.58M)) (Preference Shares) as part of a seed
capital investment with the previous owners of the Prieska Copper-Zinc Project.

As outlined in the Company’s ASX Announcement dated 4 March 2019, AASMF agreed to the
redemption of the Preference Shares, in exchange for ordinary shares in Orion (Shares), the ASX
and JSE listed parent company of Repli (Share Exchange Agreement).

Under the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement and following the receipt of Orion shareholder
approval at a meeting held on 7 June 2019, Repli has voluntarily redeemed the Preference Shares
in consideration for Orion issuing the Shares to AASMF.

In satisfaction of the redemption amount payable by Repli to AASMF of ZAR25.05M (~A$2.05M),
in connection with the voluntary redemption of the Preference Shares by Repli, on 5 July 2019,
Orion issued 77,567,412 Shares to AASMF at a deemed issue price of $0.0323 per Share. No funds
were raised from the issue of the Shares.

Following completion of the Share issue, AASMF holds an approximate 3.7 per cent stake in Orion.

An Appendix 3B relating to the issue of those Shares is attached.

About Sefa Mining Fund
Launched in 2003, the AASMF is a joint initiative between Anglo American Zimele (Pty) Ltd and
Small Enterprise Finance Agency (sefa) formerly known as Khula Enterprise Finance Limited, a
government-owned entity that promotes small and medium enterprise development.

As a value-adding relationship investor, the AASMF helps such mining enterprises that applied
before March 2017 with equity and loan finance at prime interest rates p.a., complemented by
technical support during the high-risk exploration and pre-feasibility stages of projects – which can
get extremely complicated. Basically, this Fund brings its beneficiaries’ businesses to commercially
bankable positions at which point such beneficiaries can approach lenders and raise finance to
get their mining operations commissioned.

Quotation agreement

1         +Quotation  of our additional +securities is in ASX’s absolute discretion. ASX may quote the
          +
          securities on any conditions it decides.
2         We warrant the following to ASX.
          -           The issue of the +securities to be quoted complies with the law and is not for an illegal
                      purpose.
          -           There is no reason why those +securities should not be granted +quotation.
          -           An offer of the +securities for sale within 12 months after their issue will not require
                      disclosure under section 707(3) or section 1012C(6) of the Corporations Act.
                      Note: An entity may need to obtain appropriate warranties from subscribers for the securities in order to be    
                      able to give this warranty

          -           Section 724 or section 1016E of the Corporations Act does not apply to any
                      applications received by us in relation to any +securities to be quoted and that no-one
                      has any right to return any +securities to be quoted under sections 737, 738 or 1016F
                      of the Corporations Act at the time that we request that the +securities be quoted.
          -           If we are a trust, we warrant that no person has the right to return the +securities to
                      be quoted under section 1019B of the Corporations Act at the time that we request
                      that the +securities be quoted.
3         We will indemnify ASX to the fullest extent permitted by law in respect of any claim, action
          or expense arising from or connected with any breach of the warranties in this agreement.
4         We give ASX the information and documents required by this form. If any information or
          document is not available now, we will give it to ASX before +quotation of the +securities
          begins. We acknowledge that ASX is relying on the information and documents. We warrant
          that they are (will be) true and complete.
