INFORMATION CIRCULAR AND PROXY STATEMENT

October 28, 2025

MANAGEMENT SOLICITATION

This information circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the management of Arcland Resources Inc. (the "Company") in connection with an Annual General Meeting (the "Meeting") of the shareholders to be held on December 5, 2025. The solicitation will be by mail and possibly supplemented by telephone or other personal contact to be made without special compensation by regular officers and employees of the Company. The Company does not reimburse shareholders, nominees or agents for the cost incurred in obtaining from their principal authorization to execute forms of proxy. No solicitation will be made by specifically engaged employees or soliciting agents.

VOTING OF PROXIES

A SHAREHOLDER HAS THE RIGHT TO APPOINT A PERSON (WHO NEED NOT BE A SHAREHOLDER) TO REPRESENT HIM AT THE MEETING OTHER THAN THE PERSONS NAMED IN THE ACCOMPANYING FORM OF PROXY. TO EXERCISE THIS RIGHT, THE SHAREHOLDER MAY INSERT THE NAME OF THE DESIRED PERSON IN THE BLANK SPACE PROVIDED IN THE PROXY AND STRIKE OUT THE OTHER NAMES, OR MAY SUBMIT ANOTHER PROXY.

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY PROXIES IN FAVOUR OF MANAGEMENT WILL BE VOTED ON ANY POLL (SUBJECT TO ANY RESTRICTIONS THEY MAY CONTAIN) IN FAVOUR OF THE MATTERS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY.

REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES

The person named in the enclosed form of proxy is a director of the Company. Any shareholder returning the enclosed form of proxy may revoke the same at any time insofar as it has not been exercised. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by an instrument in writing executed by the shareholder or by his attorney authorized in writing, or where the shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the corporation and delivered either to the registered office of the Company at any time up to and including 5:00 pm (Pacific Standard Time) on the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting being December 4, 2025, or any adjournment thereof, at which the proxy is to be used, or to the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, and upon any such deposits the proxy is revoked.

NON-REGISTERED HOLDERS

Only registered shareholders or the persons they appoint as their proxies are permitted to vote at the Meeting but are strongly discouraged from in-person attendance and to cast their vote through submitting their completed form of proxy. In many cases, shares beneficially owned by a holder who is not a registered shareholder (a "Non-Registered Holder") are registered either: (i) in the name of an intermediary with whom the Non-Registered Holder deals in respect of the common shares such as, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers (an "Intermediary"); or (ii) in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited of which the Intermediary is a participant). In accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer, the Company will distribute copies of the Notice of Meeting, form of proxy and this Information Circular to the clearing agencies and Intermediaries for onward distribution to Non-Registered Holders.

Intermediaries are then required to forward the materials to the appropriate Non-Registered Holders. Non-Registered Holders will be given, in substitution for the proxy otherwise contained in proxy-related materials, a request for voting


instructions (the "Voting Instructions Form") which, when properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Holder and returned to the Intermediary, will constitute voting instructions which the Intermediary must follow.

The purpose of this procedure is to permit Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of the common shares they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Holder who receives the Voting Instructions Form wish to vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on behalf of the Non- Registered Holder), the Non- Registered Holder should so indicate in the place provided for that purpose in the Voting Instructions Form. In any event, Non-Registered Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary set out in the Voting Instructions Form.

Management of the Company does not intend to pay for intermediaries to forward to objecting beneficial owners 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 objecting beneficial owner, the objecting beneficial owner will not receive the materials unless the objecting beneficial owner's intermediary assumes the cost of delivery.

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

Other than as disclosed here and elsewhere in this Information Circular, to the knowledge of management of the Company, none of the directors or executive officers of the Company since the beginning of the financial year ended November 30, 2024, proposed nominees for election as a director, or any associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing persons, has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise in any matter to be acted upon other than the election of directors or the appointment of auditors.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares without par value of which 13,232,332 shares are issued and outstanding. Only holders of common shares are entitled to vote at the Meeting and holders of common shares are entitled to one vote for each common share held. Holders of common shares of record on October 28, 2025 will be entitled to vote at the Meeting. To the knowledge of the directors of the Company, no person beneficially owns, or controls or directs, directly or indirectly, shares carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to shares of the Company, except the following:

Name Number of Common Shares beneficially owned, or controlled or directed, directly or indirectly Percentage of Common Shares held
Ken Wang 2,600,000 19.65%

FIX THE NUMBER OF DIRECTORS AT FIVE

No director or proposed director of the Company, other than disclosed below, as at or within the ten years prior to the date of this Information Circular, is or has been, a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of any company, including the Company, that while that person was acting in that capacity:

David Mark was formally a director of MOAG Copper Gold Resources Inc. (“MOAG”) during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, where trading of MOAG’s shares was halted at the request of the then CEO. On October 13, 2015, the Ontario Securities Commission made an order pursuant to paragraph 2 of subsection 127(1) and subsection 127(5) of the Securities Act (Ontario), which was extended by a further cease trade order made on October 26, 2015, pursuant to paragraph 2 of subsection 127(1) of the Securities Act (Ontario) (collectively, the “MOAG CTO”), that all trading in the securities of the MOAG be cease traded.

The MOAG CTO was made because MOAG filed but failed to meet the following continuous disclosure requirements as required by Ontario securities law: a) audited annual financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2012, June 30, 2013, and June 30, 2014, in accordance with National Instrument 52-107 Acceptable Accounting Principles and Auditing Standards (“NI 52-107”); management’s discussion and analysis for the years ended June 30, 2012, June 30, 2013, and June 30, 2014, containing information for each of the content items required by National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations (“NI 51-102”) and Form 51-102F1 Management’s Discussion & Analysis (“Form 51-102F1”); c) interim financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 2011, December 31, 2011, March 31, 2012, September 30, 2012, December 31, 2012, March 31, 2013, September 30, 2013, December 31, 2013, March 31, 2014, September 30, 2014, December 31, 2014, and March 31, 2015 in accordance with NI 52-107; d) management’s discussion and analysis for the periods ended September 30, 2011, December 31, 2011, March 31, 2012, September 30, 2012, December 31, 2012, March 31, 2013, September 30, 2013, December 31, 2013, March 31, 2014, September 30, 2014, December 31, 2014, and March 31, 2015, containing information for each of the content items required by NI 51-102 and Form 51-102F1; and e) certification of the foregoing filings as required by National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings.

On November 4, 2015, the British Columbia Securities Commission made an order pursuant to section 164 of the Securities Act (British Columbia) that all trading in the securities of MOAG cease until it files a comparative financial statement for the financial year ended June 30, 2015, and a Form 51-102F1 for the period ended June 30, 2015, and until the Executive Director revokes the cease trade order.

David Mark was formerly a director of MOAG from January 21, 2016 to June 15, 2021. MOAG is currently under a permanent cease trade order from the Ontario Securities Commission and the British Columbia Securities Commission.

Shares at the time of the grant. The Board may grant options to purchase not more than a total 5% of Common Shares less the number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to any other Securities Based Compensation Plan (as defined under the policies of the Exchange) to any one participant in any 12 month period, unless the Company becomes a Tier 1 Issuer within the meaning of the policies of the Exchange and has obtained the approval of disinterested Shareholders.

The maximum term of any option is ten years from the date of grant. Any amendment to the Plan is subject to the approval of the Exchange and may also require Shareholder approval.

The Boards may determine and impose terms upon which each Option shall become exercisable in respect of Option Shares (as defined in the Option Plan), with the exception that should the Company be classified as a Tier 2 Issuer within the meaning of the policies by the Exchange, vesting provisions of Options granted to consultants who provide any Investor Relation Activities shall not be accelerated without prior Exchange acceptance.

All rights to exercise Options shall terminate upon the earliest of:

(a) the expiration date of the Option;
(b) the 90th day after the Optionee ceases to be an Eligible Person for any reason other than death, disability or cause;

(e) the first anniversary of the date on which the Optionee ceases to be an Eligible Person by reason of termination of the Optionee on account of disability; or
(f) the first anniversary of the date of death of the Optionee.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

Corporate governance relates to the activities of the board of directors (the “Board”), the members of which are elected by and are accountable to the shareholders, and takes into account the role of the individual members of management who are appointed by the Board and who are charged with the day-to-day management of the Company. The Board is committed to sound corporate governance practices, which are both in the interest of its shareholders and contribute to effective and efficient decision making.

Board of Directors

The Board is currently composed of four directors. The Board of the Company facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over the Company’s management through frequent meetings of the Board.

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 independent directors are given full access to management so that they can develop an independent perspective and express their views and communicate their expectations of management.

Currently and upon election of the current proposed nominated directors, the independent directors are Tim Sun, Dickson Hall and David Mark. Robert Ferguson is not considered independent by virtue of his being Chief Executive Officer of the Company. George Lian is not considered independent by virtue of his being Chief Financial Officer and corporate secretary of the Company.


Other Directorships

The following directors of the Company (or nominees for director) are presently a director of one or more other reporting issuer:

Name Other reporting issuers under directorship Trading Market
George Lian Minco Silver Corp. TSX
Robert Ferguson Xineoh Technologies Inc. Inapplicable
Tim Sun Minco Silver Corp. TSX, OTC, Börse Frankfurt
Hengxing Gold Holding Company Limited Hong Kong Stock Exchange
Hugh Dickson Hall New Pacific Metals Corp. TSX
Bunker Hill Mining Corp. TSXV
David Mark Nova Pacific Metals Corp. (formerly Nova Lithium Corp.) CSE, OTC, Frankfurt Stock Exchange, Börse Frankfurt
Geologica Resource Corp. CSE

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Board has not adopted any formal steps to orient new board members. The Board has not adopted any formal measures to provide continuing education for directors.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board has not adopted formal guidelines to encourage and promote a culture of ethical business conduct but does promote ethical business conduct by nominating board members it considers ethical and by avoiding or minimizing conflicts of interest.

Nomination of Directors

The Board determines new nominees to the Board, although a formal process has not been adopted. The nominees are generally the result of recruitment efforts by the Board members, including both formal and informal discussions among Board members.

Compensation

The directors decide as a Board the compensation for the Company's directors and officers, based on industry standards and the Company's financial situation.

Other Board Committees

The Board has not established any committees other than its audit committee. All decisions are made by full board of director meetings or consent resolutions.

Assessments

The Board monitors but does not formally assess the performance of individual Board members or committee members or their contributions. Effectiveness is subjectively measured by comparing actual corporate results with stated objectives. The contributions of an individual director are informally monitored by the other Board members, having in mind the business strengths of the individual and the purpose of originally nominating the individual to the Board.


The Company feels its corporate governance practices are appropriate and effective for the Company, given its relatively small size and limited operations. The Company's method of corporate governance allows for the Company to operate efficiently, with simple checks and balances that control and monitor management and corporate functions without excessive administrative burden.

OTHER MATTERS

If other matters are properly brought before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy to vote the proxy on such matters in accordance with their judgment unless their authority is withheld.

  1. ADJUSTMENT OF AND CHANGES IN THE OPTION SHARES

(a) If the Common Shares are at any time to be listed or quoted on any stock exchange or stock quotation system other than the Exchange, to the extent that there are any Options which are outstanding and unexercised at the time of such application for listing, the Option Price, the aggregate number of Option Shares, the exercise period, and any other relevant terms of such Options, and the Option Agreements in relation thereto, shall be amended in accordance with the requirements of any applicable securities regulation or law or any applicable governmental or regulatory body (including the Exchange). Subject to the requirements of the Exchange, any such amendment shall be effective upon receipt of Board approval of it, subject to approval of disinterested shareholders of the Company, and approval of any of the Optionees is not required to give effect to such amendment.


(b) If the Common Shares, as presently constituted, are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company or of another Company (whether by reason of merger, consolidation, amalgamation, recapitalization, reclassification, split, reverse split, combination of shares, or otherwise) or if the number of such Common Shares are increased through the payment of a stock dividend, then there shall be substituted for or added to each Option Share subject to or which may become subject to an Option under this Plan, the number and kind of shares or other securities into which each outstanding Option Share is so changed, or for which each such Option Share is exchanged, or to which each such Option Share is entitled, as the case may be. Outstanding Options under the Option Agreements shall also be appropriately amended as to price and other terms as may be necessary to reflect the foregoing events. In the event that there is any other change in the number or kind of the outstanding Common Shares or of any shares or other securities into which such Option Shares are changed, or for which they have been exchanged, then, if the Board shall, in its sole discretion, determine that such change equitably requires an adjustment in any Option thereto granted or which may be granted under the Plan, such adjustment shall be made in accordance with such determination. If the Company does not have sufficient number of Common Shares available under the Plan the Board shall, in its sole discretion, determine the amount to be paid by the Company in cash to satisfy its obligations in respect of such foregoing event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustment or amendment to an Option Agreement outstanding Options under this Plan other than as a consequence of a consolidation or split of Common Shares shall be subject to prior acceptance of the Exchange.

(c) Fractional shares resulting from any adjustment in Options pursuant to this Section 8 will be cancelled. Notice of any adjustment shall be given by the Company to each holder of an Option which has been so adjusted and such adjustment (whether or not such notice is given) shall be effective and binding for all purposes of the Plan.

  1. PAYMENT

Subject as hereinafter provided, the full purchase price for each of the Option Shares shall be paid by certified cheque in favour of the Company upon exercise thereof. An Optionee shall have none of the rights of a shareholder in respect of the Option Shares until the shares are issued to such Optionee.

  1. SECURITIES LAW REQUIREMENTS

No Option shall be exercisable in whole or in part, nor shall the Company be obligated to issue any Option Shares pursuant to the exercise of any such Option, if such exercise and issuance would, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, constitute a breach of any applicable laws from time to time, or the rules from time to time of the Exchange. Each Option shall be subject to the further requirement that if at any time the Board determines that the listing or qualification of the Option Shares under any securities legislation or other applicable law, or the consent or approval of any governmental or other regulatory body (including the Exchange), is necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the issue of the Option Shares hereunder, such Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board.

  1. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time, but an amendment may not be made without the approval of the shareholders of the Company unless such amendment is a correction of a typographical error or clarifies existing provisions of this Plan that do not have the effect of altering the scope, nature and intent of such provisions.

  1. POWER TO TERMINATE OR AMEND PLAN

Subject to the approval of any stock exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed, the Board may terminate, suspend or amend the terms of the Plan; provided, that any such amendment is subject to shareholder approval or disinterested shareholder approval of the Company, as the case may be, pursuant to the policies of the Exchange.

(b) any amendment to an Option held by an insider of the Company that would have the effect of decreasing the exercise price of the Option;
(c) any grant of an Option prior to shareholder approval of this Plan; and
(d) any amendment to the Plan or an Option that results in a benefit to an insider of the Company, which includes the cancellation of an Option and grant of a new Option to the same person with one year.
