Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’)

BlackRock World Mining Trust plc will still hold its AGM at 11.30 a.m. on
Thursday, 30 April 2020. However, under the Stay at Home Measures passed into
law in England and Wales on 26 March 2020, public meetings of more than two
persons are currently prohibited. Accordingly, unless and until the
restrictions are lifted, only the necessary quorum of two shareholders will
attend and no additional shareholders will be admitted.

The exceptional circumstances of the coronavirus have required the Board to
adapt the normal format of the AGM. The meeting will therefore be reduced to
its essential elements, being the formal business of the meeting as set out in
the Annual Report and Financial Statements and voting on the resolutions
therein. On this occasion we will be dispensing with a presentation from the
Portfolio Managers. Instead a webcast will be made available on the website at
blackrock.com/uk/brwm as soon as practicable.

Investors who have any questions or comments should contact the Secretary, who
will relay your comments to the Board and respond in due course. The contact
details of the Secretary can be found on page 125 of the Annual Report and
Financial Statements.  

All shareholders are strongly encouraged to submit their proxy votes in
accordance with the instructions contained in the Notice of AGM which has
already been made available to shareholders. These will be counted in the
votes for the meeting.

The Board would like to thank all shareholders for their understanding during
these unprecedented times.

15 April 2020
