The Board considers the corporate governance code published by the Quoted Companies Alliance Corporate Governance Code 2018 (“the QCA Code”) is the most suitable code for the Company and has adopted the principles set out in the QCA Code and applies these principles wherever possible, and where appropriate to its size and available resources.

A listing of the ten principles of the QCA Code and an explanation of how the Company applies each principle, together with the reasons for any aspect of non-compliance, is set out in the Governance section on pages 18 to 26 of the 2022 Annual Report published on 21 December 2022; https://www.scotgoldresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Scotgold-AR-2022.pdf
