Corporate Governance

Greatland Resources’ Board is committed to the highest standards of corporate governance appropriate for a company of its size and status. The Board has created a framework for managing the Company, including adopting corporate governance policies and practices, relevant internal controls and risk management processes that the Board considers appropriate for the Company’s business and that are designed to promote the responsible management and conduct of the Company.

The Company has adopted the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (4th Edition) (“ASX Recommendations”), which set out recommended corporate governance practices for entities admitted on the ASX. The ASX Recommendations are not prescriptive, but guidelines. Under the ASX Listing Rules, Greatland must prepare a corporate governance statement annually disclosing the extent to which it has followed the ASX Recommendations during each reporting period. Where Greatland does not follow an ASX Recommendation, it must identify the recommendation that has not been followed and state the reasons for not following the recommendation and what (if any) alternative governance practices it adopted in lieu of the recommendation during that period.
