Q: How can I vote?

  • A: You can exercise your right to vote your shares in two ways.

Q: What if I plan to attend the Meeting and vote in person?

  • A: If you are a Registered Shareholder and plan to attend the Meeting to exercise in person the voting rights attached to your shares, you do not have to complete and return the proxy.

VALIDITY OF A PROXY

The by-laws of the Corporation provide that a proxy or an instrument appointing a duly authorized representative of the Corporation shall be in writing, under the hand of the appointee or his attorney duly authorized in writing, or, if such appointor is a corporation, either under its seal or under the hand of an officer or attorney duly authorized for that purpose.

VOTING BY PROXY

Shares represented by a proxy are to be voted or withheld from voting on any ballot by the proxy named in the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholders. If no instructions are indicated, these shares will be voted IN FAVOUR of the matters referred to in the accompanying Notice of Meeting. The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority on the persons named therein with respect to matters not specifically mentioned in the Notice of Meeting and which may properly come before the Meeting.

As at the date of this Circular, management of the Corporation knows of no amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting, other than those matters referred to in the Notice of Meeting.

ADVICE TO BENEFICIAL SHAREHOLDERS

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many Shareholders as a substantial number of the Shareholders do not hold Shares in their own name. Shareholders who do not hold their Shares in their own name (hereinafter, the “ Beneficial Shareholders ”) should note that only proxies deposited by Shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Corporation as the Registered Shareholders can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If shares are held in an account with an intermediary, such as a broker or financial institution, then

LEGAL_40413641.2

Page 9

in almost all cases those shares will not be registered in the Beneficial Shareholder’s name in the records of the Corporation. Such shares will more likely be registered under the name of the intermediary or its agent. In Canada, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Such Shares can only be voted (for or against resolutions) upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions the intermediary and its agents and nominees are prohibited from voting such shares. Therefore, Beneficial Shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their Shares are

communicated to the appropriate person.

Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of Shareholders’ meetings. Every intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Shares are voted at the applicable meeting. The voting instruction form supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker or other intermediary or agent is similar to the form of proxy provided to Registered Shareholders by the Corporation. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered Shareholder (the broker or other intermediary or agent) how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (hereinafter, “ Broadridge ”). Broadridge typically asks Beneficial Shareholders to return the voting instruction forms to it. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instruction received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of shares to be represented at the applicable meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder receiving a Broadridge voting instruction form cannot use that form to vote shares directly at the Meeting. The voting instruction form must be returned to Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Shares voted.

Notice of Shareholders in the United States

The solicitation of proxies involves securities of an issuer located in Canada and is being effected in accordance with the corporate laws of Canada and securities laws of the provinces of Canada. The proxy solicitation rules under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are not applicable to the Corporation or this solicitation, and this solicitation has been prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of the securities laws of the provinces of Canada. Shareholders should be aware that disclosure requirements under the securities laws of the provinces of Canada differ from the disclosure requirements under United States securities laws.

The enforcement by Shareholders of civil liabilities under United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Corporation is incorporated in Canada and existing under the Canada Business Corporations Act , as amended, certain of its directors and its executive officers are residents of Canada and a substantial portion of its assets and the assets of such persons are located outside the United States. Shareholders may not be able to sue a foreign company or its officers or directors in a foreign court for violations of United States federal securities laws. It may be difficult to compel a foreign company and its officers and directors to subject themselves to a judgment by a United States court.

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

To the best of our knowledge, except as otherwise disclosed herein, no director or executive officer of the Corporation, nor any person who has held such a position since the beginning of the last completed financial year of the Corporation, nor any proposed nominee for election as a director of the Corporation, 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 the approval of the Corporation’s new share option plan as set out herein.

  • On August 3, 2022, the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (the " AMF ") issued a failure to file cease trade (the “ Cease Trade Order ”) for the Corporation’s failure to file the annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, corresponding annual management’s discussion and analysis and certifications of the annual filings within the prescribed timeframe (the “ 2021 Financial Documents ”).

The Corporation has filed the 2021 Financial Documents on SEDAR on December 19, 2022 and applied to the AMF for revocation of the Cease Trade Order on December 20, 2022. As of January 9, 2023, the application for revocation of the Cease Trade Order is still under review by the AMF.

  • The securities of Kilkenny Capital Corporation (“ Kilkenny ”) are subject to a cease trade orders issued by : (i) the AMF on June 2, 2016 and on June 17, 2016 (Decision N°: 2016-IC-0108 and Decision N°: 2016IC-0112 respectively); (ii) the Ontario Securities Commission on June 6, 2017 pursuant to paragraph 2 of subsection 127(1) and subsection 127(4.1) of the Securities Act (Ontario); (iii) the British Columbia Securities Commission on June 7, 2017; and (iv) the Alberta Securities Commission, all directing that all trading in the securities of the Corporation, whether direct or indirect, cease until the order is revoked (collectively the “ Kilkenny Cease Trade Orders ”). The Kilkenny Cease Trade Orders were issued as a result of Kilkenny’s failure to file its financial statements and requisite filings for the period ended January 31, 2016. Mr. David Grondin was a director of Kilkenny at the time of the Kilkenny Cease Trade Orders and resigned on May 19, 2019.

Except as disclosed below, none of the proposed directors is, as at the date hereof, or has been, within the previous 10 years, a director or executive officer of any company (including the Corporation) that, while that person was acting in that capacity, or within a year of that person ceasing to act in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets.

  • On March 1, 2017, Kilkenny filed a notice of intent to file a proposal under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, RSC 1985, c B-3. Kilkenny then lodged its proposal on March 30, 2017 (the “ Proposal ”). The Proposal was subsequently approved unanimously on April 20, 2017 by the creditors present at the

LEGAL_40413641.2

Page 13

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

General

Corporate governance refers to the policies and structure of the board of directors of a Corporation, whose members are elected by and are accountable to the shareholders of the corporation. Corporate governance encourages establishing a reasonable degree of independence of the board of directors from executive management and the adoption of policies to ensure the board of directors 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.

Board of Directors

Directors are considered to be independent if they have no direct or indirect material relationship with the Corporation. A “material relationship” is a relationship which could, in the view of the Corporation’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 holding regular meetings at which members of management or non-independent directors are not in attendance and by retaining independent consultants where it deems necessary.

The independent members of the Board are Messrs. Wayne Isaacs and Dominic Voyer . The non-independent director are Ms. Adriana Shaw, who is Chief Operating Officer of the Corporation, Mr David Grondin , who is

LEGAL_40413641.2

Page 16

president and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, and Mr Diego Fernando Barragan , who is the Director of operations for AM Resources SAS the Colombian Subsidiary.

Directorships

Certain directors of the Corporation are currently serving on boards of the following other reporting issuers (or equivalent) is as set out below:

Name of Director Name of Reporting Issuer Exchange Listed
David Grondin TomaGold Corporation TSXV
Wayne Isaacs Family Memorials Inc. TSXV
ThreeD Capital Inc. CSE, Over-the-counter markets
Silo Wellness Inc. CSE
Delta Uranium Inc. n/a
Goliath Resources Limited TSXV
ZEB Nickel Corp. TSXV
Augustine Ventures Inc. CSE

Orientation and Continuing Education

When new directors are appointed, they receive an orientation, commensurate with their previous experience, on the Corporation’s properties, business, technology and industry and on the responsibilities of directors.

Board meetings may also include presentations by the Corporation’s management and employees to give the directors additional insight into the Corporation’s business.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Corporation’s governing corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual directors’ participation in decisions of the Board in which the director has an interest have been sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Corporation.

Nomination of Directors

The Board considers its size each year when it considers the number of directors to recommend to the shareholders for election at the annual meeting of shareholders, taking into account the number required to carry out the Board’s duties effectively and to maintain a diversity of views and experience. The Board does not have a nominating committee, and these functions are currently performed by the Board as a whole. However, if there is a change in the number of directors required by the Corporation, this policy will be reviewed.

The Corporation’s management is continually in contact with individuals involved in areas of strategic interest to the Corporation. From these sources the Corporation has made numerous contacts and in the event that the Corporation was in a position to nominate any new directors, such individuals would be brought to the attention of the Board. The Corporation conducts the due diligence, reference and background checks on any suitable

LEGAL_40413641.2

Page 17

candidate. New nominees must have a track record in general business management, special expertise in an area of strategic interest to the Corporation, the ability to devote the time required and a willingness to serve.

Compensation

The Board considers compensation for the directors and its NEOs (as defined below) on an annual basis.

Other Board Committees

The Board has no committees other than the audit committee.

Assessments

The Board monitors the adequacy of information given to directors, communication between the Board and management and the strategic direction and processes of the Board and committees.

Stock Option Plan

The current stock option plan of the Corporation (the “ Current Plan ”) is a 10% fixed stock option plan. The Corporation previously had a 10% rolling stock option plan (the “ Former Plan ”) that was last approved by Shareholders on April 12, 2019. A description of the Former Plan can be found in the corresponding circular filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com on March 15, 2019.

The Corporation failed to obtain shareholder approval for the Former Plan in 2020 and 2021. Consequently, the Board adopted the Current Plan on March 12, 2021, limited to a fixed amount of 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as at March 12, 2021, representing 11,255,982 options.

The Board proposes to implement a new stock option plan to replace the Current Plan, subject to Shareholder and regulatory approval. Refer to heading “PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON – Approval of New 10% “rolling” Stock Option Plan” below.

Employment, Consulting and Management Agreements

Except as disclosed above under “ External Management Companies ”, the Corporation does not have any employment, consulting or management agreements or arrangements with any of the Corporation’s current directors or NEOs.

Oversight and description of Director’s and NEO’s Compensation

Elements of the Compensation Program

LEGAL_40413641.2

Page 23

The total compensation plan for NEOs is comprised of two components: base salary or consulting fees and stock options. The Board has not established any specific performance goals or similar conditions that are based on objective, identifiable measures regarding cash and non-cash elements of the Corporation’s compensation program. Instead, the Board annually reviews the total compensation of the Corporation’s executives against the backdrop of the general compensation goals and objectives described above and makes decisions concerning the individual components of the executives’ compensation.

Base Salary or Consulting Fees

Base salary ranges for the executive officers were initially determined upon a review of companies within the mining industry, which were of the same size as the Corporation, at the same stage of development as the Corporation and considered comparable to the Corporation.

In determining the base salary of an executive officer, the Board considers the following factors:

  • (a) the particular responsibilities related to the position;

  • (b) salaries paid by other companies in the mining industry which were similar in size as the Corporation;

  • (c) the experience level of the executive officer;

  • (d) the amount of time and commitment which the executive officer devotes to the Corporation; and

  • (e) the executive officer’s overall performance and performance in relation to the achievement of corporate milestones and objectives.

Bonus Incentive Compensation

The Corporation’s objective is to achieve certain strategic objectives and milestones. The Board will consider executive bonus compensation dependent upon the Corporation meeting those strategic objectives and milestones and sufficient cash resources being available for the granting of bonuses. The Board approves executive bonus compensation dependent upon compensation levels based on recommendations of the CEO. Such recommendations are generally based on information provided by issuers that are similar in size and scope to the Corporation’s operations.

Equity Participation

The Corporation believes that encouraging its executives and employees to become shareholders is the best way of aligning their interests with those of its shareholders. Equity participation is accomplished through the Corporation’s existing stock option plan. Stock options are granted to executives and employees taking into account a number of factors, including the amount and term of options previously granted, base salary and bonuses and competitive factors. The amounts and terms of options granted are determined by the Board based on recommendations put forward by the CEO. Due to the Corporation’s limited financial resources, the Corporation emphasizes the provisions of option grants to maintain executive motivation.

Compensation Review Process

Risks Associated with the Corporation’s Compensation Practices

At the date of this Information Circular, the Corporation’s directors had not considered the implications of any risks to the Corporation associated with decisions regarding the Corporation’s compensation program. The Corporation intends to formalize its compensation policies and practices and will take into consideration the implications of the risks associated with the Corporation’s compensation program and how it might mitigate those risks.

LEGAL_40413641.2

Page 24

Benefits and Perquisites

The Corporation does not, as of the date of this Information Circular, offer any benefits or perquisites to its directors or NEOs other than potential grants of incentive stock options as otherwise disclosed and discussed herein.

Hedging by Directors or NEOs

The Corporation has not, to date, adopted a policy restricting its executive officers and directors from purchasing financial instruments, including, for greater certainty, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, or units of exchange funds, which are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by executive officers or directors. As of the date of this Information Circular, entitlement to grants of incentive stock options under the Corporation’s current incentive stock option plan is the only equity security element awarded by the Corporation to its executive officers and directors.

Option-Based Awards

The Corporation’s stock option plan provides incentive to qualified parties to increase their proprietary interest in the Corporation and thereby encourage their continuing association with the Corporation. Management proposes stock option grants to the Board based on such criteria as performance, previous grants, and hiring incentives. All grants require approval of the Board. The current incentive stock option plan is administered by the Board and provides that options will be issued to directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation.

Pension disclosure

The Corporation does not have any pension, defined benefit, and defined contribution or deferred compensation plans in place.

DISCLOSURE ON DIVERSITY UNDER CANADA BUSINESS CORPORATIONS ACT

The Corporation is a junior mining company with no employees, a limited number of directors and officers. For these reasons, the Company has decided not to adopt formal policies and targets relating to gender diversity or the representation of designated groups (i.e., aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities) among the members of its Board and senior management. However, the Company seriously considers and evaluates diversity when identifying and nominating Board candidates and when making senior management appointments by carefully assessing professional qualifications and aptitudes, personalities and other qualifications of each candidate, depending on ad hoc needs of the Corporation.

Currently, one director of the Corporation is a woman, and three are considered members of visible minorities.

PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Approval of New 10% “rolling” Stock Option Plan

At the Meeting, the Shareholders will be asked to pass an ordinary resolution approving and adopting a new 10% “rolling” share option plan (the “ New Plan ”) that will replace the Current Plan. The purpose of adopting the New Plan is to bring the Corporation’s stock option plan in line with the current TSXV policy on Security Based Compensation (TSXV Policy 4.4) that was amended on November 24, 2021. The New Plan will provide the

LEGAL_40413641.2

Page 26

Corporation with the advantages of the incentive in stock ownership on the part of Directors, officers, employees, management company employee, or consultants (and their beneficially wholly-owned company) responsible for the continued success of the Corporation and to attract new directors, officers, employees and consultants to the Corporation. The information below is a summary of the New Plan and should be read in conjunction with the full text of the New Plan that is attached to this Circular as Schedule “B”. Any definitions or capitalized terms used or referenced below have the same meaning attributed to them in the New Plan.

Summary of the New Plan

The New Plan is a “rolling” share option plan that sets the number of Common Shares issuable thereunder at a maximum of 10% of the Common Shares issued and outstanding at the time of any grant. As at the date of this Circular, assuming approval of the New Plan by the Shareholders at the Meeting, there will be an aggregate 13,925,983 reserved options under the New Plan, and represents approximately 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as of the Record Date.

The New Plan provides that the Board (or a committee created or appointed by the Board) may, from time to time, in its discretion designate the persons to whom options shall be granted in accordance with the New Plan and the number of Common Shares to be optioned to each, provided that the number of Common Shares to be optioned shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Corporation at the time of the grant, as provided in the New Plan. Options may be granted to any director, officer, employee, management company employee or consultant of the Corporation and their beneficially wholly-owned company (as defined in the New Plan). An optionee shall not be excluded from being granted an option solely because he/she may previously have been granted an option under the Plan. No optionee shall have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to any Common Shares subject to an option until such Common Shares have been paid for in full and issued to such optionee.

Subject to disinterested shareholder approval, the number of Common Shares set aside for issuance to an individual must not exceed, within a 12-month period, 5% of the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation. The total number of options granted to all persons providing investor relations services during a 12month period shall not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. Additionally, the total number of options granted to a Consultant shall not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. The number of options granted to insiders under the New Plan shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. Options are not transferable and the period during which an option may be exercised may not exceed ten years from the date of its grant. The minimum exercise price of an option granted to a director or officer of the Corporation must not be less than the Discounted Market Price (as defined in TSXV Policy). The minimum exercise price of an option granted to any admissible persons that are not directors or officers of the Corporation must not be less than the last closing price of the Common Shares before the date of the option grant, less the applicable discount permitted by TSXV Policy. The New Plan also provides provisions in respect of cashless exercises and net exercise by an optionee, subject to other terms and conditions set forth therein.

Subject to section 5.3(b) and (c) of TSXV’s Policy 4.4, the Corporation seeks the disinterested shareholders’ approval for any of the events of when the aggregate number of shares issuing to insiders of the Corporation exceeding 10% of the outstanding Common Shares, within or not any 12 month period, or to any insider exceeding 5% within any 12 month period, or any reduction in exercise price or an extension of the term or other amendment to an Option that results in a benefit to an insider. The options are vested immediately with the exception that to persons who provides investor relationship services for which a 25% vested quarterly for a total period of 12 months or when the board determines applicable.

Upon the death of an optionee, the option may be exercised by the legal heirs or personal representatives of the optionee for a period not exceeding one year from the optionee’s dearth provided that nothing in the foregoing shall have the effect of extending the term of an option beyond its original expiry date. Options granted to any

LEGAL_40413641.2

Page 27

optionee who is a director, officer or an employee shall expire at no later than 90 days after the optionee ceases to be at least one of those categories, by reason other than the optionee’s death. Options granted to any optionee share terminate immediately in the case of dismissal from employment or service for cause, whether vested or not.

The Board may at any time suspend or terminate the New Plan with respect to any Common Shares not at the time subject to option, and the Board may at any time and from time to time amend any provisions of the New Plan subject to obtaining any required approval of the TSXV or other regulatory authorities having jurisdiction, provided that any such amendment shall not, without the consent of the optionee to whom such options were granted, adversely affect or impair any options previously granted under the New Plan.

Pursuant to TSXV Policy, the Corporation is required to obtain the approval of its shareholders for a “rolling” share option plan for acceptance of the option plan by the Corporation and at each annual meeting of shareholders.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to vote on the following ordinary resolution (the “ Option Plan Resolution ”):

BE IT RESOLVED AS AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION OF SHAREHOLDERS THAT:

  • I) the repeal of the Current Plan be and is hereby approved and authorized;

  • II) subject to all required regulatory, including TSXV, the New Plan of the Corporation be and the same is hereby approved and adopted as the share option plan of the Corporation; and

  • III) any one officer or director of the Corporation is hereby authorized and directed, for and on behalf of the Corporation, to execute and deliver all such documents and to do all such acts and things as he or she may determine to be necessary or desirable in order to carry out the foregoing provisions of this resolution, the execution of any such document or the doing of any such acts and things being conclusive evidence of such determination.
