The Meeting was previously scheduled to be held

NOT to attend the Meeting in person. All
shareholders, regardless of geographic location and equity
ownership will have an equal opportunity to participate in the

Given the need for risk management in respect of
COVID-19, we ask that anyone planning to attend the Meeting in
person advise the Company at info@erocopper.com (attention: Deepk
Hundal, Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate
Secretary). To ensure the health and safety of all attendees,
Ero reserves the right to take any additional cautionary measure
deemed to be appropriate, necessary or advisable in relation to the
Meeting in response to further developments in the COVID-19
pandemic, including limiting the number of persons who may be
allowed in a single room for the Meeting to allow for required
social distancing, or any other measures that may be recommended by
public health authorities in connection with gatherings of
persons.
