MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

(Containing information as at March 31, 2026 unless indicated otherwise)

This Management Information Circular (the “Circular”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of A2 Gold Corp. (the “Company”) for use at the annual general meeting (the “Meeting”) of its shareholders at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice of the Meeting.

In this Circular, references to “the Company”, “we” and “our” refer to A2 Gold Corp. “common shares” means common shares without par value in the capital of the Company. “Beneficial Shareholders” means shareholders who do not hold common shares in their own name and “intermediaries” refers to brokers, investment firms, clearing houses and similar entities that own securities on behalf of Beneficial Shareholders.

Registered Shareholders who attend the Meeting will have an opportunity to participate at the Meeting, regardless of their geographic location.

GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

Solicitation of Proxies

The solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, but proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone by directors, officers and regular employees of the Company. The Company will bear all costs of this solicitation. We have arranged for intermediaries to forward the meeting materials to beneficial owners of common shares held as of record by those intermediaries and we may reimburse the intermediaries for their reasonable fees and disbursements in that regard.

The Meeting will be held in virtual only format, which will be conducted via telephone conference. Registered Shareholders who attend the Meeting will have an opportunity to participate at the Meeting, regardless of their geographic location.

Appointment of Proxyholders

The individuals named in the accompanying form of proxy (the “Proxy”) are officers and directors of the Company. If you are a shareholder entitled to vote at the Meeting, you have the right to appoint a person or company other than either of the persons designated in the Proxy, who need not be a shareholder, to attend and act for you on your behalf at the Meeting. You may do so either by inserting the name of that other person in the blank space provided in the Proxy or by completing and delivering another suitable form of proxy.

The only methods by which you may appoint a person as proxy are submitting a Proxy by mail, hand delivery or fax.

Voting by Proxyholder

The persons named in the Proxy will vote or withhold from voting the common shares represented thereby in accordance with your instructions on any ballot that may be called for. If you specify a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, your common shares will be voted accordingly. The Proxy confers discretionary authority on persons named therein with respect to:

(a) each matter or group of matters identified therein for which a choice is not specified, other than the appointment of an auditor and the election of directors,

(b) any amendment to or variation of any matter identified therein, and

In respect of a matter for which a choice is not specified in the Proxy, or where both choices have been specified, in favour or all matters described herein, the persons named in the Proxy will vote the common shares represented by the Proxy for the approval of such matter.

Notice and Access

The Company is not sending this Circular to registered or beneficial shareholders using “notice-and-access” as defined under National Instrument 54-101 Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (“NI 54-101”).

Registered Shareholders

If you are a Registered Shareholder and wish to have your common shares voted at the Meeting, you will be required to submit your vote by Proxy in advance of the Meeting. Registered Shareholders electing to submit a Proxy may do so by completing, dating and signing the Proxy and returning it to the Company’s transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. (“Computershare”), in accordance with the instructions on the Proxy. Alternatively, Registered Shareholders may vote their common shares via the internet or by telephone as per the instructions provided on the Proxy.

In all cases you should ensure that the Proxy is received at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the Meeting or the adjournment thereof at which the Proxy is to be used.

Registered Shareholders electing to submit a Proxy may do so by:

(a) Internet. Vote online at www.investorvote.com using the Proxy control number found in the enclosed Proxy.

(b) Telephone. Using a touch-tone phone to transmit voting choices to the toll-free number given in the Proxy. Registered Shareholders who choose this option must follow the instructions of the voice response system and refer to the enclosed Proxy for the toll-free number, the holder’s account number and the Proxy Control Number.

(c) Mail. Completing, dating and signing the enclosed Proxy and returning it to Computershare, by fax within North America at 1-866-249-7775, or by mail or hand delivery at 320 Bay Street, 14th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5H 4A6.

Non-Registered Shareholders (Beneficial Shareholders)

The following information is significant to shareholders who do not hold common shares in their own name. Beneficial Shareholders should note that the only proxies that can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting are those deposited by Registered Shareholders (those whose names appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of common shares).

These securityholder materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered owners of the securities of the Company. If you are a non-registered owner, and the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities, have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding on your behalf. By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Company (and not the intermediary holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in your request for voting instructions.

If common shares are listed in an account statement provided to a shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those common shares will not be registered in the shareholder’s name on the records of the Company. Such common shares will more likely be registered under the names of the shareholder’s broker or an agent of that broker. In the United States, the vast majority of such common shares are registered under the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for The Depository Trust Company (which acts as depository for many U.S. brokerage firms and custodian banks), and in Canada, under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms).

There are two kinds of beneficial owners - those who object to their name being made known to the issuers of securities which they own (called “OBOs” for “Objecting Beneficial Owners”) and those who do not object to the issuers of the securities they own knowing who they are (called “NOBOs” for “Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners”).

Pursuant to NI 54-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Company is sending proxy-related materials directly to NOBOs, which materials will include a scannable Voting Instruction Form (a “VIF”). These VIFs are to be completed and returned to Computershare in the envelope provided or by facsimile. In addition, Computershare provides both telephone voting and internet voting as described on the VIF itself which contain complete instructions. Computershare will tabulate the results of the VIFs received from NOBOs and will provide appropriate instructions at the Meeting with respect to the common shares represented by the VIFs they receive.

Management of the Company does not intend to pay for intermediaries to forward to OBOs under NI 54-101 the proxy-related materials and Form 54-101F7 Request for Voting Instructions Made by Intermediary, and, in the case of an OBO, the OBO will not receive the materials unless the OBO’s intermediary assumes the cost of delivery.

Every intermediary that mails proxy-related materials to Beneficial Shareholders has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients. Beneficial Shareholders should follow the instructions of their intermediary carefully to ensure that their common shares are voted at the Meeting.

Most brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) in the United States and in Canada. Broadridge mails a voting instruction form (the “Broadridge VIF”) which is similar to the Proxy provided to Registered Shareholders by the Company. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the intermediary on how to vote on your behalf. The Broadridge VIF will appoint the same persons as the Company’s Proxy to represent you at the Meeting. You have the right to appoint a person (who need not be a shareholder of the Company), other than the persons designated in the Broadridge VIF, to represent you at the Meeting. To exercise this right, you should insert the name of the desired representative in the blank space provided in the Broadridge VIF. The completed Broadridge VIF must then be returned to Broadridge by mail or facsimile or given to Broadridge by phone or over the internet, in accordance with Broadridge’s instructions. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of common shares to be represented at the Meeting. If you receive a Broadridge VIF, you cannot use it to vote common shares directly at the Meeting – the Broadridge VIF must be completed and returned to Broadridge, in accordance with its instructions, well in advance of the Meeting to have the common shares voted.

Although as a Beneficial Shareholder you may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting common shares registered in the name of your broker, you, or a person designated by you, may attend at the Meeting as proxyholder for your broker and vote your common shares in that capacity. If you wish to attend at the Meeting and indirectly vote your common shares as proxyholder for your broker, or have a person designated by you do so, you should enter your own name, or the name of the person you wish to designate, in the blank space on the voting instruction form provided to you and return the same to your broker in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker, well in advance of the Meeting.

Alternatively, you can request in writing that your broker send you a legal Proxy which would enable you, or a person designated by you, to attend at the Meeting and vote your common shares.

Notice to United States Shareholders

The Company’s common shares are not registered under Section 12 of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “U.S. Exchange Act”), and this solicitation of proxies is not subject to the requirements of Section 14(a) of the U.S. Exchange Act. Residents of the United States should be aware that applicable Canadian proxy solicitation rules differ from those of the United States applicable to proxy statements under the U.S. Exchange Act.

This document does not address any income tax consequences of the disposition of the Company’s common shares by shareholders. Shareholders in a jurisdiction outside of Canada should be aware that the disposition of common shares by them may have tax consequences both in those jurisdictions and in Canada, and are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances and the tax considerations applicable to them.

Any information concerning any properties and operations of the Company has been prepared in accordance with Canadian standards under applicable Canadian securities laws, and may not be comparable to similar information for United States companies.

Financial statements included or incorporated by reference herein have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and are subject to auditing and auditor independence standards in Canada, and reconciled to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Revocation of Proxies

In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a Registered Shareholder who has given a Proxy may revoke it by executing a Proxy bearing a later date or by executing a valid notice of revocation, either of the foregoing to be executed by the Registered Shareholder or the Registered Shareholder’s authorized attorney in writing, or, if the shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal by an officer or duly authorized attorney, and by delivering the Proxy bearing a later date to Computershare or at the address of the Company at c/o Suite 400, 1681 Chestnut Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6J 4M6, at any time up to and including the last business day that precedes the day of the Meeting or, if the Meeting is adjourned, the last business day that precedes any reconvening thereof, or to the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any reconvening thereof, or in any other manner provided by law.

A revocation of a proxy does not affect any matter on which a vote has been taken prior to the revocation.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS OR COMPANIES IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

No director or executive officer of the Company, nor any person who has held such a position since the beginning of the last completed financial year end of the Company, nor any proposed nominee for election as a director of the Company, nor any associate or affiliate of the foregoing persons, has any substantial or material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted on at the Meeting other than the election of directors and as set out herein.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

The board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company has fixed March 31, 2026 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for determination of persons entitled to receive notice of the Meeting. Only shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date who either attend the Meeting personally or complete, sign and deliver a form of Proxy in the manner and subject to the provisions described above will be entitled to vote or to have their common shares voted at the Meeting.

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares without par value. As of the Record Date, there were 104,234,379 common shares issued and outstanding, each carrying the right to one vote. Other than as set out below, no group of shareholders has the right to elect a specified number of directors, nor are there cumulative or similar voting rights attached to the common shares.

To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Company, no persons or corporations beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over, common shares carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to all outstanding common shares of the Company as at the Record Date.

VOTES NECESSARY TO PASS RESOLUTIONS

A simple majority of affirmative votes cast at the Meeting is required to pass the resolutions described herein. If there are more nominees for election as directors or appointment of the Company’s auditor than there are vacancies to fill, those nominees receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected or appointed, as the case may be, until all such vacancies have been filled. If the number of nominees for election or appointment is equal to the number of vacancies to be filled all such nominees will be declared elected or appointed by acclamation.

SETTING NUMBER OF DIRECTORS

The persons named in the enclosed Proxy intend to vote in favour of fixing the number of directors at four (4). The Board proposes that the number of directors be fixed at four (4). Shareholders will therefore be asked to approve an ordinary resolution that the number of directors elected be fixed at four (4).

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The term of office of each of the current directors expires at the conclusion of the Meeting. Unless the director’s office is earlier vacated in accordance with the provisions of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act (the “BCBCA”), each director elected will hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, or if no director is then elected, until a successor is elected.

The following table sets out the names of management’s nominees for election as a director, the province and country in which he is ordinarily resident, all major offices and positions with the Company and any of its significant affiliates each now holds, each nominee’s principal occupation, business or employment for the five preceding years for new director nominees, the period of time during which each has been a director of the Company and the number of common shares of the Company beneficially owned by each, directly or indirectly, or over which each exercised control or direction, as at the Record Date.

an understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.

Audit Committee Oversight

Since the commencement of the Company’s most recently completed financial year, the Audit Committee has not made any recommendations to the Board to nominate or compensate any external auditor, other than Davidson & Company.

Reliance on Exemptions in NI 52-110 regarding De Minimis Non-audit Services or on a Regulatory Order Generally

Since the commencement of the Company’s most recently completed financial year, the Company has not relied on the exemption in section 2.4 (De Minimis Non-audit Services) of NI 52-110 (which exempts all non-audit services provided by the Company’s auditor from the requirement to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee if such services are less than 5% of the auditor’s annual fees charged to the Company, are not recognized as non-audit services at the time of the engagement of the auditor to perform them and are subsequently approved by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of that year’s audit), the exemption in subsection 6.1.1(4) (Circumstance Affecting the Business or Operations of the Venture Issuer), the exemption in subsection 6.1.1(5) (Events Outside of Control of Member), the exemption in subsection 6.1.1(6) (Death,

Incapacity or Resignation) or an exemption from NI 52-110, in whole or in part, granted by a securities regulator under Part 8 (Exemptions) of NI 52-110.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee has not adopted specific policies and procedures for the engagement of non-audit services.

External Auditor Service Fees

The Audit Committee has reviewed the nature and amount of the non-audited services provided by Davidson & Company, for the last two financial years, to the Company to ensure auditor independence. Fees billed for audit and non-audit services in the last two financial years for audit fees are outlined in the following table:

Nature of Services	Fees Paid to Auditor in Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2025	Fees Paid to Auditor in Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2024
Audit Fees^{(1)}	$59,214	$60,732
Audit-Related Fees^{(2)}	Nil	Nil
Tax Fees^{(3)}	$19,400	$20,600
All Other Fees^{(4)}	Nil	Nil
Total:	$78,614	$81,332

(1) "Audit Fees" include fees necessary to perform the annual audit and quarterly reviews of the Company's consolidated financial statements, and fees for review of tax provisions and for accounting consultations on matters reflected in the financial statements. Audit Fees also include audit or other attest services required by legislation or regulation, such as comfort letters, consents, reviews of securities filings and statutory audits.

(2) "Audit-Related Fees" include services that are traditionally performed by the auditor. These audit-related services include employee benefit audits, due diligence assistance, accounting consultations on proposed transactions, internal control reviews and audit or attest services not required by legislation or regulation.

(3) "Tax Fees" include fees for all tax services other than those included in "Audit Fees" and "Audit-Related Fees". This category includes fees for tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice. Tax planning and tax advice includes assistance with tax audits and appeals, tax advice related to mergers and acquisitions, and requests for rulings or technical advice from tax authorities.

(4) "All Other Fees" include all other non-audit services.

Reliance on Exemptions in NI 52-110 regarding Audit Committee Composition & Reporting Obligations

Since the Company is a venture issuer, it relies on the exemption contained in section 6.1 of NI 52-110 from the requirements of Part 3 Composition of the Audit Committee (as described in 'Composition of the Audit Committee' above) and Part 5 Reporting Obligations of NI 52-110 (which requires certain prescribed disclosure about the Audit Committee in this Circular).

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

General

Corporate governance refers to the policies and structure of the Board of a company whose members are elected by and are accountable to the shareholders of the company. Corporate governance encourages establishing a reasonable degree of independence of the Board from executive management and the adoption of policies to ensure the Board recognizes the principles of good management. The Board is committed to sound corporate governance practices, as such practices are both in the interests of shareholders and help to contribute to effective and efficient decision-making.

Effective June 30, 2005, National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices ("NI 58-101") and National Policy 58-201 Corporate Governance Guidelines ("NP 58-201") were adopted in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. NI 58-101 requires issuers to disclose the corporate governance practices that they have adopted. NP 58-201 provides guidance on corporate governance practices. This section sets out the Company's approach to corporate governance and addresses the Company's compliance with NI 58-101.

Board of Directors

Directors are considered to be independent if they have no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. A "material relationship" is a relationship which could, in the view of the Company's Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director's independent judgment.

The Board facilitates its independent supervision over management by ensuring certain members of the Board are independent.

The current independent members of the Board are Shawn Nichols, Norman Pitcher and Javier Reyes. The sole non-independent member of the Board is Peter Gianulis, CEO of the Company.

Directorships

Mr. Gianulis is a director of Organto Foods Inc. and Gold Resource Corporation.

Mr. Reyes is a director of Organto Foods Inc.

Mr. Nichols is a director of Ventra Metals Corp.

Board Mandate

The informal mandate of the Board is to oversee the management of the Company, thereby serving the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Periodic meetings are held by the Board to achieve this mandate.

The Board carries out its responsibilities in accordance with corporate law requirements under the BCBCA, the Company's Articles of Incorporation and its corporate governance policies described herein.

On, at minimum, an annual basis, the Board approves budgets prepared by the Company's senior management team. Long-term strategies are also approved by the Board, along with material agreements and transactions to which the Company intends to devote significant company resources.

The Chair of the Audit Committee is expected to discharge the mandate of the Audit Committee set out in the Audit Committee Charter. A formal position description has not been developed for the CEO. The CEO is expected to carry out the responsibilities associated with being at the helm of an exploration and development stage mining company focused on gold exploration. Such responsibilities include at a high level, overseeing the direction of the Company's business, including the development of plans for exploration and development operations, and bringing those plans to fruition; analyzing potential acquisition opportunities for new property interests; hiring other senior executive officers; periodically reporting to the Board and maintaining an open dialogue with directors; shareholder engagement; and ensuring that the Company's financing needs are met given the capital intensive nature of mining exploration and development operations, among others.

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Board and the Company's senior management conduct orientation programs for new directors. The orientation programs include presentations by management to familiarize new directors with the Company's projects strategic plans, its significant financial, accounting and risk management issues, its compliance programs, its code of business conduct and ethics, its principal officers, its internal and independent auditors and its outside legal advisors. In addition, the orientation program includes a review of the Company's expectations of its directors in terms of time and effort, a review of the directors' fiduciary duties and visits to Company headquarters and, to the extent practical, certain of the Company's significant facilities.

To enable each director to better perform his or her duties and to recognize and deal appropriately with issues that arise, the Company occasionally provides the directors with suggestions to undertake continuing education for directors, the cost of which is borne by the Company.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the "Code") which applies and is provided to the employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company. The Code provides guidelines respecting discrimination, harassment, substance abuse, workplace violence, employment of family members, environment, health and safety, conflicts of interest,

10 -

gifts and entertainment, competitive practices, supplier and contractor relationships, public relations, government relations, legal compliance (including without limitation insider trading), confidential and proprietary information, financial reporting, records retention, use of Company property, and other similar matters. All the Company's personnel are provided a copy of the Code and expected to abide by its terms. A copy of the Code is available on the Company's website at www.a2gold.com.

To ensure the independent exercise of judgment by a director who has a material interest in a transaction, the Company has included in the Code a description of the procedures to be followed by a director with a material interest. Full disclosure by the director to the Board of the material interest is required, and the director is required to refrain from voting on any matter concerning the transaction.

Nomination of Directors

Except where the Company is legally required by contract, law or otherwise to provide third parties with the right to nominate directors, the Board is responsible for identifying individuals qualified to become Board members, consistent with criteria approved by the Board at such time. Throughout the Company's history this has occurred infrequently and as such the Board has no set rules for qualifications and determines same on a case-by-case basis, having reference to the needs of the Company at the time. In the event that a proposed director is identified, and upon authorization by the Board, the Chair of the Board is tasked with extending an invitation to a potential nominee, who is then evaluated by the Board for suitability.

Majority Voting Policy

The Board has approved a Majority Voting Policy for the Company. In an uncontested election of directors of the Company, each director should be elected by the vote of a majority of the common shares represented in person or by proxy at any shareholders' meeting for the election of directors. Accordingly, if any nominee for director receives a greater number of votes "withheld" from his or her election than votes "for" such election, that director will promptly tender his or her resignation to the Chair of the Board following the meeting. In this policy, an "uncontested election" means an election where the number of nominees for director equals the number of directors to be elected.

The Board will consider the offer of resignation and whether to accept it. Any director who tenders his or her resignation may not participate in the deliberations of the Board at which the resignation is being considered. In its deliberations, the Board will consider any stated reasons why shareholders "withheld" votes from the election of that director, the length of service and the qualifications of the director, the director's contributions to the Company, the effect such resignation may have on the Company's ability to comply with any applicable governance rules and policies and the dynamics of the Board, and any other factors that the Board considers relevant.

The Board will decide within 90 days following the date of the applicable meeting and announce its decision by way of a news release, after considering the factors that the Board considers relevant. The Board expects to accept the resignation except in situations where extenuating circumstances would warrant the director continuing to serve on the Board. The resignation will become effective upon acceptance by the Board. However, if the Board declines to accept the resignation, it must include in the news release the reasons for its decision.

If a resignation is accepted, the Board may, in accordance with the BCBCA and the Company's Articles of Incorporation, appoint a new director to fill any vacancy created by the resignation or reduce the size of the Board. If a director does not tender his or her resignation in accordance with the Majority Voting Policy, the Board will not re-nominate that director at the next election.

The Board does not have a Nominating Committee comprised entirely of independent directors as the Board has determined that the Company's size does not warrant such a standing committee at present.

Compensation

Board determines compensation for the directors and CEO, following recommendations from the Compensation Committee.

Other Board Committees

In addition to the Audit Committee, the Board has established a Compensation Committee that is responsible for determining and recommending to the Board the compensation for the CEO and other named executive officers. The current members of the Compensation Committee are Shawn Nichols and Norman Pitcher.

Assessments

The Board is in a continual process of evaluating itself, its committees, and its individual directors. The individual directors speak regularly both within and outside formal Board meetings for the purposes of discussing the Company's goals and objectives and evaluating its success at achieving such goals and objectives. The Board provides oversight and assessment of a number of key items, including: reviewing and approving fundamental operating, financial, and other strategic corporate plans, taking into account, among other things, the opportunities and risks of the business; evaluating the Company's performance at any given time, including whether corporate resources are being allocated appropriately; evaluating the performance, and overseeing the progress and development of senior management; taking action when required in respect of senior management oversight, including determining promotions, changing responsibilities, terminations, and creating senior management succession plans; overseeing compensation programs; evaluating the Company's systems for risk identification, assessment and management purposes; approving material transactions and commitments; determining whether the Company's governance structure allows and encourages the Board to fulfil its responsibilities and obligations; assisting the Company's senior management and providing guidance on those matters that require Board involvement or oversight; and assessing the overall effectiveness of the Board and its committees.

Individual Board members are expected to observe a high standard and it is the opinion of the Board that this standard is presently being met.

Compensation Plans

TSXV policy requires all of its listed companies to have a Security Based Compensation Plan if the Company intends to grant or issue Security Based Compensation to its directors, officers, employees, management company employees and consultants or to an eligible charitable organization. The Company currently has adopted its amended Plan, being a 10% rolling omnibus incentive plan, dated for reference August 14, 2024. The Plan was approved by the TSXV on April 29, 2025.

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

Employment, Consulting and Management Agreements

Except as otherwise disclosed herein, there are no compensatory plans or arrangements with respect to any NEO resulting from the resignation, retirement or any other termination of employment of the officer’s employment or from a change of an NEO’s responsibilities following a change in control.

Oversight and Description of Director and NEO Compensation

The Board of the Company has not appointed a formal compensation committee so the responsibilities relating to executive and director compensation, including reviewing and recommending director compensation, overseeing the Company’s base compensation structure and equity-based compensation programs, recommending compensation of the Company’s officers and employees, and evaluating the performance of officers generally and in light of annual goals and objectives, is performed by the Board as a whole.

The Board also assumes responsibility for reviewing and monitoring the long-range compensation strategy for the senior management of the Company. The Board receives independent competitive market information on compensation levels for executives.

The compensation for executives includes four components: (i) base consulting fees, (ii) bonus (if applicable), (iii) Options and/or RSUs, and (iv) perquisites. As a package, the compensation components are intended to satisfy the objectives of the compensation program (that is, to attract, retain and motivate qualified executives). There are no predefined or standard termination payments, change of control arrangements or employment contracts.

Philosophy and Objectives

The Company’s compensation policies and programs are designed to be competitive with similar mineral exploration companies and to recognize and reward executive performance consistent with the success of the Company’s business. The

17 -

compensation program for the senior management of the Company is designed to ensure that the level and form of compensation achieves certain objectives, including (i) attracting and retaining talented, qualified and effective executives, (ii) motivating the short and long-term performance of these executives; and (iii) better aligning their interests with those of the Company's shareholders.

In determining and approving the base salary for each NEO, the Board takes into consideration available market data.

In compensating its senior management, the Company has encouraged equity participation and in furtherance thereof employs its Plan.

Equity Participation

The Company believes that encouraging its NEO to become shareholders is the best way of aligning their interests with those of its shareholders. Equity participation has been accomplished through the Company's Plan. Options and RSUs are granted to NEOs and consultants of the Company taking into account a number of factors, including the amount and term of Options or RSUs previously granted, base consulting fees and bonuses and competitive factors. The amounts and terms of Options and RSUs granted are determined by the Board in consultation with management of the Company.

Given the evolving nature of the Company's business, the Board continues to review the overall compensation plan for senior management to continue to address the objectives identified above.

Pension Disclosure

The Company does not provide a pension to its directors or NEOs.

PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Approval of Amended Omnibus Incentive Plan

TSXV policy requires all of its listed companies to have a Security Based Compensation Plan if the Company intends to grant or issue Security Based Compensation to its directors, officers, employees, management company employees and consultants or to an eligible charitable organization. The Company currently has adopted its amended Plan, being a 10% rolling omnibus incentive plan, dated for reference August 14, 2024. The Plan was approved by the TSXV on April 29, 2025. On February 18, 2026, the Board further amended the Plan to remove section 5.2(d) which stated: “the sole class of Service Providers eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options under this Plan are employees of the Company.” For further details and summary of the Plan, see Compensation Plans above. On March 17, 2026, the Company received conditional approval to the amended Plan. Following conclusion of the Meeting, the Company will submit the required documents to the TSXV to obtain final approval to the amended Plan.

Shareholder Approval

At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and vote on the ordinary resolution to approve the Plan, with or without variation, as follows:

"UPON MOTION DULY MADE, IT WAS RESOLVED AS AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION THAT:

The amended 10% rolling omnibus incentive plan (the "Plan") of the Company, as more particularly described in the management information circular of the Company dated March 31, 2026, be ratified and approved.
To the extent permitted by law, the Company be authorized to abandon all or any part of the Plan if the board of directors deems it appropriate and in the best interests of the Company to do so.
Any one or more of the directors and officers of the Company be authorized to perform all such acts, deeds and things and execute, under seal of the Company or otherwise, all such documents as may be required to give effect to these resolutions."

The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the Plan.

An ordinary resolution is a resolution passed by the shareholders of the Company at a general meeting by a simple majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy.

The Board is of the view that the Plan provides the Company with the flexibility to attract and maintain the services of executives, employees and other service providers in competition with other companies in the industry.

A shareholder may obtain a copy of the Plan by contacting the Company. See Additional Information below.
