Solicitation of Proxies

This management information circular (this " Circular ") is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of ATEX Resources Inc. (the " Company ") for use at the 2022 Annual General and Special Meeting (the " Meeting ") of the Company shareholders to be held on March 22, 2022 and at any adjournments thereof. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the Company in this Circular include its subsidiaries.

While it is expected that the solicitations will be primarily by mail, proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone, without special compensation, by directors, officers and regular employees of the Company or by agents retained for that purpose. The Company does not have any contract or arrangement for the solicitation with any specially engaged employees or soliciting agents. The Company may reimburse shareholders, nominees or agents for any costs incurred in obtaining from their principals proper authorization to execute proxies. The Company may also reimburse brokers and other persons holding shares in their own name or in the names of their nominees for expenses incurred in sending proxies and proxy materials to the beneficial owners thereof in obtaining their proxies. All costs of all solicitations on behalf of management will be borne by the Company.

For the purposes of Item 3 of Form 51-102F5 under National Instrument 51-102 - "Continuous Disclosure Obligations" (" NI 51-102 ") of the Canadian Securities Administrator (the " CSA "), the Company advises that no director of the Company has informed management in writing that such director intends to oppose any action intended to be taken by management at the Meeting.

To be able to vote their shares at the Meeting, each Registered Shareholder or proxyholder will be required to enter their control number or Invite Code provided by Computershare at https://meetnow.global/MQFXJZY prior to the start of the Meeting.

In order to vote, Non-Registered Owners who appoint themselves as a proxyholder MUST register with Computershare at http://www.computershare.com/atex AFTER submitting their voting instruction form in order to receive an Invite Code (see details under the heading "Appointment of Proxy Holders" below).

If a shareholder who has submitted a Proxy (as defined below) attends the Meeting via webcast and has accepted the terms and conditions when entering the Meeting online, any votes cast online by such shareholder on a ballot will be counted and the votes previously submitted will be disregarded.

Appointment of Proxy Holder

Shareholders of the Company who hold shares in their own names are described in this Circular as " registered shareholders ". Only registered shareholders of the Company (" Registered Shareholders ") or their duly appointed proxy holders are entitled to vote at the Meeting. Voting instructions for nonregistered shareholders are set forth below under " Advice to Beneficial Holders of Shares on Voting Shares ".

The purpose of a proxy is to permit a Registered Shareholder to designate one or more persons as proxy holder(s) to vote on that Registered Shareholder's behalf in accordance with the instructions given by the Registered Shareholder in the proxy. The persons designated as proxy holders in the form of proxy accompanying this Circular (the " Proxy "), each of whom is a director or officer of or legal counsel to the Company, have been selected by management.

Shareholders who wish to appoint a third-party proxyholder to represent them at the Meeting must submit their Proxy or VIF (as applicable) prior to registering their proxyholder. Registering the proxyholder is an additional step once a shareholder has submitted their Proxy or VIF. Failure to register a duly appointed proxyholder will result in the proxyholder not receiving an Invite Code to participate in the Meeting.

To register a proxyholder, shareholders MUST visit http://www.computershare.com/atex not less than 48 hours prior to the Meeting and provide Computershare with their proxyholder's contact information, so that Computershare may provide the proxyholder with a Username via email.

Without an Invite Code, proxyholders will not be able to attend and vote at the Meeting.

If a shareholder does not appoint a third-party proxyholder in such manner, then the person first named as proxy holder in the Proxy will exercise the Proxy with automatic substitution of the succeeding named proxy holder if such first named proxy holder does not attend the Meeting and automatic substitution of the third named proxy holder, if any, if such second named proxy holder does not attend the Meeting.

Deposit of Proxy

Registered Shareholders desiring to vote by Proxy may do so by:

(a) depositing a signed and dated Proxy with Computershare, at 100 University Avenue, 8[th] Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1, or at Computershare's Vancouver office, 2[nd] Floor, 510 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3B9; or
(b) faxing a signed and dated Proxy to Computershare from within North America to 1-866-249-7775 or from outside North America to 416-263-9524; or
(c) using any other method described in the Proxy, such as internet voting, by following the instructions for such method set out in the Proxy, in which case the Registered Shareholder will need the control number set out in the Proxy.

In all cases, to be valid, a Proxy (or other acceptable form of Proxy vote) must be received not later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays) before the time of the Meeting unless the Chair of the Meeting exercises his discretion to accept proxies received after that time.

Revocation of Proxy

A Registered Shareholder which has submitted a Proxy may revoke it either by signing a Proxy bearing a later date and depositing it at the place and within the time aforesaid or by signing and dating a written notice of revocation (in the same manner as the Proxy is required to be executed as set out in the notes to the Proxy) and depositing the same at the place and within the time aforesaid or in any other manner provided by law, whereupon such Proxy shall be deemed to have been revoked. Revocation of a Proxy will not affect any matter on which a vote has been taken before the revocation.

Voting by Proxy

If the instructions of a Registered Shareholder are certain, the shares represented by any Proxy given by that Registered Shareholder will be voted or withheld from voting on any ballot that may be called for, and where the Registered Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted on, the shares will be voted or withheld from voting on any ballot that may be called for in accordance with the specified choice. Where no choice is specified, the Proxy confers discretionary authority on the Registered Shareholder's appointed proxy holder. If a Registered Shareholder has not appointed his or her own proxy holder, such shares will be voted by management's designates in favour of the matters described in the Proxy and, if applicable, for the nominees of management and auditors as identified in the Proxy.

Exercise of Discretion by Proxy Holder

The Proxy gives each Registered Shareholder the ability to confer discretionary authority upon the proxy holder with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the notice of Meeting and other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the time of printing this Circular, management of the Company knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters which are anticipated to be presented for consideration or action at the Meeting.

Advice to Beneficial Holders of Shares on Voting Shares

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to any beneficial owner of shares who does not hold title to such shares in his, her or its own name. Beneficial owners of shares who do not have such shares registered in their own name (referred to in this Circular as " Non-Registered Owners ") should note that the only Proxies that can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting are those deposited by Registered Shareholders.

Most beneficial owners of shares are Non-Registered Owners. If your shares are listed in an account statement provided to you by an "intermediary" (a term used to refer to, among others, brokerage firms, banks, trust companies and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans) (an " Intermediary "), then, in almost all cases, those shares will not be registered in your name on the records of the Company. Such shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Non-Registered Owner's Intermediary or an agent of that Intermediary. In Canada, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co., the nominee of The Canadian Depository for Securities, which acts as depository for many Canadian brokerage firms and other Intermediaries. In the United States, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of Depository Trust Company, which acts as depository for many United States brokers and other Intermediaries. Such Intermediaries and depositories are collectively referred to in this Circular as " Intermediaries ". The Intermediary with which a Non-Registered Owner has a direct relationship, such as the brokerage firm with which the Non-Registered Owner has deposited his shares, is known as the "Proximate Intermediary" of that Non-Registered Owner.

Pursuant to National Instrument 54-101 - "Communications with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer" (" NI 54-101 ") of the CSA, all Intermediaries are required to seek voting instructions from Non-Registered Owners in advance of each shareholder meeting. shares held by an Intermediary can, by law, only be voted with instructions from the Non-Registered Owner of such shares. Without specific instructions, Intermediaries are prohibited from voting such shares. Therefore, Non-Registered Owners should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their shares are communicated to the appropriate person. That person is generally the Proximate Intermediary of that Non-Registered Owner.

Pursuant to NI 54-101, the Company advises as follows:

These security-holder materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered owners of the securities. If you are a non-registered owner and the issuer 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.

The notice of Meeting, this Circular and the other security-holder materials respecting the Meeting, including a Proxy or Voting Instruction Form (a " VIF ", and collectively, " Meeting Materials ") are being sent directly to Registered Shareholders. As noted above under " Appointment of Proxy Holder ", Meeting Materials sent to Registered Shareholders include a Proxy.

There are two kinds of Non-Registered Owners recognized by NI 54-101. Non-Registered Owners who have not objected to their Intermediary disclosing certain ownership information about themselves to the Company are referred to as non-objecting beneficial owners (" NOBO s"). Those Non-Registered Owners who have objected to their Intermediary disclosing ownership information about themselves to the Company are referred to as objecting beneficial owners (" OBO s").

Voting Instruction Form

The purpose of the procedure established by NI 54-101 is to permit Non-Registered Owners to direct the voting of the shares which they beneficially own. Meeting Materials sent to Non-Registered Owners who have not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials, regardless of whether they are NOBOs or OBOs, do not include a Proxy. Instead, pursuant to NI 54-101, they include a VIF. The content of a VIF is almost identical to the content of a proxy. A VIF differs from the proxy insofar as its purpose is limited to instructing the Registered Shareholder (i.e., the Intermediary) or the Company how to vote on behalf of the NonRegistered Owner. By returning a VIF in accordance with the instructions noted on it, a NOBO is able to instruct the Company and an OBO is able to instruct its Intermediary how to vote on behalf of the NonRegistered Owner.

Unless prohibited by law, the person whose name is written in the space provided in the VIF will be appointed as proxy holder for the Non-Registered Owner pursuant to section 2.18 or section 4.5 of NI 54101 and, as such, will have full authority to present matters to the Meeting and vote on all matters that are presented at the Meeting, even if those matters are not set out in the VIF or this Circular. A Non-Registered Owner should consult a legal advisor if the Non-Registered Owner wishes to modify the authority of the person to be appointed as proxy holder in any way.

VIFs contain specific instructions, all of which should be followed closely. VIFs, whether provided to the Non-Registered Owner by the Company or by an Intermediary, should be completed and returned in accordance with the specific voting instructions noted on the VIF.

Non-Registered Owners who are NOBOs

NI 54-101 permits the Company to obtain a list of its NOBOs from Intermediaries via its transfer agent, and to send Meeting Materials to NOBOs directly or indirectly. If an issuer elects to send Meeting Materials to NOBOs indirectly, such Meeting Materials are sent to NOBOs by the Intermediaries in the same manner as Meeting Materials are sent to OBOs by the Intermediaries, described under " Non-Registered Owners who are OBOs " below.

The Company has elected to send Meeting Materials, including a VIF, directly to NOBOs. It may retain the services of its transfer agent or another agent to handle the mailing of Meeting Materials to NOBOs and the tabulation of votes received from NOBOs. Pursuant to NI 54-101, the Company advises as follows:

By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the issuer (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 the request for voting instructions.

Non-Registered Owners who are OBOs

Meeting Materials will not be sent to OBOs directly by the Company, and the Company does not intend to pay for any Intermediary to deliver Meeting Materials to OBOs. Accordingly, OBOs will not receive the Meeting Materials unless their Intermediary assumes the costs of delivery. The majority of Intermediaries now delegate responsibility for obtaining voting instructions from OBOs, and mailing Meeting Materials to OBOs, to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (" Broadridge "). In cases where an issuer does not elect to send Meeting Materials to NOBOs directly, the same delegation process typically applies. Broadridge prepares its own form of VIF based on the Proxy, mails that VIF and the other Meeting Materials to OBOs (and NOBOs, where applicable), and tabulates the results of all voting instructions received from the OBOs (and NOBOs, where applicable). Broadridge then delivers such voting results to the issuer or its transfer agent, where they are added to the votes of Registered Shareholders and any votes of NOBOs which have been submitted directly to the issuer or its transfer agent.

Notice and Access

NI 54-101 permits an issuer to send proxy-related materials to Registered Shareholders and NonRegistered Owners using a procedure referred to as "notice and access". The Company is not using the "notice-and-access" procedure for the Meeting.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common and preferred shares, of which 100,743,854 common shares were issued and outstanding on February 11, 2022, the record date (the " Record Date ") for the Meeting. Each Share carries the right to one vote on any poll at meetings of shareholders of the Company. The Company has no other classes of voting securities.

In respect of currently issued and outstanding shares, those persons entitled to receive notice of and to attend and vote at the Meeting online or by Proxy will be determined by the record of Registered Shareholders of the Company at 4:00 p.m. (local Vancouver time) on the Record Date. If the Company should issue additional shares from treasury after the Record Date, the person or persons to whom those shares are issued shall not be entitled to receive notice of the Meeting, but shall, if included on the record of Registered Shareholders of before the time for the meeting, be entitled to vote at the Meeting online or by Proxy, if they have deposited the Proxy not fewer than 48 hours (Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays excluded) before the time for the Meeting.

The quorum required for the transaction of business at the Meeting is one person who is, or who represents by proxy, a shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting.

To the best of the knowledge and belief of the directors and senior officers of the Company, as at the Record Date no person beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to any class of voting securities of the Company.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED ON

No person who has been a director or senior officer of the Company at any time since the beginning of the last completed financial year of the Company, nor any proposed nominee for election as a director of the Company, nor any associate of 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 at the Meeting other than the election of directors or the appointment of an auditor, except as may be disclosed herein under the heading "Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon".

INTEREST OF INFORMED PERSONS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

For the purposes of this Circular, as defined in NI 51-102, " informed person " means:

(a) a director or executive officer of the Company;
(b) a director or executive officer of a person or company that is itself an informed person or subsidiary of the Company;
(c) any person or company who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, voting securities of the Company or who exercises control or direction over voting securities of the Company, or a combination of both, carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all outstanding voting securities of the Company, other than voting securities held by the person or company as underwriter in the course of a distribution; and
(d) the Company if it has purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired any of its own securities, for so long as it holds any of its securities.

No informed person of the Company, nor any proposed director of the Company, nor any associate or affiliate of any informed person or proposed director, has had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction since the commencement of the Company's last completed financial year, or has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any proposed transaction which, in either case, has materially affected or would materially affect the Company, except as may otherwise be disclosed herein.

INDEBTEDNESS OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

No director, proposed director, executive officer, employee or former executive officer, director or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or any associate of any director, proposed director or executive officer has been indebted to the Company or any subsidiary of the Company at any time since the beginning of the last completed financial year of the Company, other than for routine indebtedness.

STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Summary of NEO Compensation

Form 51-102F6V – "Statement of Executive Compensation-Venture Issuers", adopted by the CSA defines " Named Executive Officers " or " NEOs " to include:

(a) a Chief Executive Officer (" CEO ") of the Company or an individual performing functions similar to a CEO;
(b) a Chief Financial Officer (" CFO ") of the Company or an individual performing functions similar to a CFO;
(c) the most highly compensated executive officers of the Company, including any of its subsidiaries, (or the most highly compensated individuals acting in a similar capacity), other than the CEO and CFO, at the end of the most recently completed financial year whose total compensation was, individually, more than $150,000; and
(d) each individual who would be a NEO under paragraph (iii) but for the fact that the individual was neither an executive officer of the Company or its subsidiaries, nor acting in a similar capacity, at the end of that financial year.

Pursuant to Form 51-102F6V, the Company provides the following disclosure regarding all compensation paid, payable, awarded, granted, given, or otherwise provided, directly or indirectly, by the Company, or a subsidiary of the Company, to each NEO and director in the most recently completed year, in any capacity, including, for greater certainty, all plan and non-plan compensation, direct and indirect pay, remuneration, economic or financial award, reward, benefit, gift or perquisite paid, payable, awarded, granted, given, or otherwise provided to the NEO or director for services provided, directly or indirectly, to the Company or a subsidiary of the Company.

Except as set forth in this Circular, no compensation has been awarded to, earned by, paid to, or become payable to any director or NEO, in any capacity with respect to the Company or its subsidiaries, and, to the best of management's knowledge and belief, no compensation has been awarded to, earned by, paid to, or become payable to, a NEO or director, in any capacity with respect to the Company, by another person or company.

NEO Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The primary objectives of the Company's compensation strategy are, (i) to provide fair compensation to the NEOs, in light of their qualifications, experience and duties with the Company and compensation received by their industry peers, (ii) to provide incentive to the NEOs to sustain and improve corporate performance, and (iii) generally to align the interests of the NEOs and senior employees with those of the Company's shareholders. The strategy is also intended to ensure that the Company has in place programs to attract, retain and develop management of a high caliber and provide a process for the orderly succession of management.

Historically, compensation decisions were made by the board of directors of the Company (the " Board ") as a whole on recommendations from independent directors. On December 16, 2021, the Board formed a Compensation, Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee (the " CNCG Committee ") and appointed Alejandra Wood (Chair), Robert Suttie and Craig Nelsen as members of the CNCG Committee. On January 27, 2022, the Board adopted a charter setting out the CNCG Committees' purpose and responsibilities, a copy of which attached to this Circular as Schedule B. Accordingly, in the future, in accordance with its charter, the CNCG will be primarily responsible for developing, reviewing and approving compensation and benefits for the executive officers and directors of the Company.

Historically, the Company's process for determining executive compensation was straightforward. The Company relied on management and the Board's discussions without reference to any specific predetermined goals, benchmarks or other criteria. In keeping with the relatively simple compensation structure adopted by most venture issuers, the Company's executive compensation had two primary components, cash compensation and incentive stock options. No bonuses have historically been paid.

Moving forward the Company anticipates having a more robust approach to its compensation structure under the oversight of the CNCG Committee.

The CNCG Committee will assess hourly, per diem or monthly cash compensation paid to the NEOs based on their judgment of prevailing market rates for similar services and based upon the proportion of the total time that each individual will dedicate to the affairs of the Company. The Company will also pay bonuses to help ensure the objectives of the NEOs are closely aligned with management and the Board's objectives in respect of the Company's current and potential business prospects. Any bonuses for NEOs will be determined according to achievement goals established by the Board on recommendation from the CNCG Committee. It is anticipated that bonuses would range from 0% to 80%-120% of the NEO's base salary based on the achievement of measurable and predetermined goals such as successful execution of exploration programs, community relations, safety and environmental factors.

Stock options have been awarded by the Board on an ad hoc basis and are weighted more towards the incentive element of the Company's compensation strategy. The Company considers the use of stock options to be significant in attracting, motivating and retaining employees at all levels. The Company has adopted a formal stock option plan under which specific option grants are made. In making specific grants to individuals, a number of factors are considered including, but not limited to (i) the number of options already held by the individual, (ii) a fair balance between the number of options held by the individual and the other executives and employees of the Company, in light of their respective duties and responsibilities, and (iii) the value of the options as a component of the individual's overall compensation package. Total awards are also limited by the number of options available for grant from time to time under the Company's stock option plan. Options awarded to a specific director are not voted on by that director.

Moving forward, the awarding of stock options will be based on recommendations from the CNCG Committee, applying its assessment of the NEO's performance included in the assessments of NEO's cash compensation and bonuses.

No new actions, decisions or policies were made after the end of the most recently completed financial year that could affect a reasonable person's understanding of an NEO's compensation for the most recently completed financial year, notwithstanding the establishment of the CNCG Committee.

No pension or retirement benefit plans have been instituted by the Company and none are proposed at this time.

The Company is a venture issuer and relies on the exemption from the obligation to provide a Share Performance Graph set out in Item 2.2 of Form 51-102F6V; "Statement of Executive CompensationVenture Issuer".

Director and NEO Compensation, Excluding Compensation Securities

The following table sets forth information concerning compensation for each of the two most recently completed financial years, other than compensation disclosed under the section " Stock Options and other compensation securities ", of each NEO followed by compensation of directors who were not also NEOs during the Company's financial years ended September 30, 2021, and September 30, 2020. For NEOs who are also directors and who received compensation for services as a director during any such year, the table includes that compensation and a footnote which explains which amounts relate to the director role.

Narrative Discussion

SECURITIES AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company's existing stock option plan (the " Plan ") is referred to as a "10% rolling stock option plan" and was last approved by shareholders at the Company previous annual general held on March 29, 2021. The Company has no other equity incentive plans at this time. The TSX Venture Exchange (the " TSXV ") requires all listed companies having 10% rolling stock option plans to obtain shareholder approval of such plans annually. Accordingly, the Company will seek shareholder approval of the Plan at the Meeting. The Plan and the requirements for approval are more particularly described under " Particulars of Matters to be Acted On – Stock Option Plan ".

Under the Plan, the Board is authorized to grant incentive stock options to certain directors, senior officers, employees and consultants of the Company entitling them to purchase common shares. The purpose of the Plan is to attract and retain employees, consultants, officers or directors to the Company and to motivate them to advance the interests of the Company by affording them with the opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Company through options granted under the Plan to purchase shares.

The Board periodically reviews (such review to be performed at least annually) the status of the Company's equity incentive plans and is responsible for setting and amending any equity incentive plans and individual grants, such as stock option grants, under any equity incentive plan. When considering new stock option grants to directors, officers and consultants, the Board takes into consideration previous grants made as well as the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan. Moving forward, the awarding of stock options will be based on recommendations from the CNCG Committee, applying its assessment of the NEO's performance included in the assessments of NEO's cash compensation and bonuses.

On February 11, 2022, the Board approved certain amendments to the Plan (the " Amendments ") to bring the Plan into compliance with the new Policy 4.4 of the TSXV, adopted on November 24, 2021, which sets out a new framework for security based compensation for venture issuers. The TSXV has conditionally approved the Amendments. At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, to pass an ordinary resolution approving the Amendments. If the Amendments are approved by shareholders at the Meeting, the Plan, as amended by the Amendments (the " Amended Plan "), will become the Company's stock option plan and the Company will no longer issue options pursuant to the terms of the Plan and will instead be authorized to grant options to certain eligible directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Amended Plan. The Amendments and the requirements for approval are more particularly described under " Particulars of Matters to be Acted On – Amendments to the Stock Option Plan ".

The following table sets out equity compensation plan information required to be disclosed by Form 52102F5 – "Information Circular" as at the end of the Company's financial year ended September 30, 2021.

Plan Category	Number of shares to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options as at September 30, 2021	Weighted-average exercise price of outstanding options as at September 30, 2021	Number of shares remaining available for future issuance under stock option plan (excluding securities reflected in column (a))(2)
	(a)	(b)	(c)
Equity compensation plans approved by security holders(1)	2,985,000	$0.27	682,526
Equity compensation plans not approved by security holders	N/A	N/A	N/A
Total	2,985,000	$0.27	682,526

(1) The Plan permits the grant of stock options exercisable to purchase that number of shares which is equal, in the aggregate, to a maximum of 10% of the number of shares of the Company outstanding at the time of grant. No warrants or rights are issuable under the Plan and the Company has no other incentive plan.
(2) If all outstanding options and all options remaining available for grant under the Plan were granted and were exercised, the shares which would be issued upon such exercise would constitute 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares on a non-diluted basis. The Company had 36,675,261 shares outstanding on September 30, 2021.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

National Instrument 58-101 - "Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices" (" NI 58-101 ") requires that, whenever management of a venture issuer solicits a proxy from a security holder for the purpose of electing directors to that issuer's board of directors, that issuer must include in its information circular for the meeting at which directors are proposed to be elected the disclosure in respect of its corporate governance practices required by Form 58-101F2 – "Corporate Governance Disclosure (Venture Issuers)". The Company is a venture issuer and, accordingly, provides the following prescribed disclosure, having regard to the corporate governance guidelines (the " Guidelines ") adopted in NI 58-101. The Guidelines are not prescriptive but have been considered by the Company in adopting its corporate governance practices.

Board of Directors

The Board has the overall responsibility for the strategic planning and general management of the business and affairs of the Company. The Board does not have a written mandate. In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Board is responsible for, among other things:

(a) strategic planning for the Company;
(b) identification of the principal business risks of the Company and ensuring the implementation of the appropriate systems to manager these risks;
(c) succession planning for the Company, as well as the appointment, development and monitoring of senior management;
(d) a communications policy for the Company; and,
(e) the integrity of the Company's internal control and management information system.

The Board is currently comprised of five directors.

The Guidelines suggest that the board of directors of every listed company should be constituted with a majority of individuals who qualify as "independent" directors under NI 58-101. The TSXV requires that each listed issuer have at least two independent directors. Under NI 58-101, which refers in turn to National Instrument 52-110 – "Audit Committees" (" NI 52-110 "), a director is considered independent if he or she has no direct or indirect "material relationship" with the Company (other than shareholdings) which could, in the view of the Board, reasonably interfere with the exercise of that director's independent judgment.

Of the proposed nominees, Craig Nelsen, Robert Suttie and Alejandra Wood are considered "independent" within the meaning of NI 52-110.

The Board facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over management through its committee(s) having a majority of independent directors and through the requirement for approval of such matters as executive compensation by a majority of independent directors as well as a majority of the Board as a whole.

The Company has not historically had regularly scheduled meetings of independent directors at which nonindependent directors are not in attendance, as approvals for corporate actions have generally been obtained by unanimous resolutions.

On December 16, 2021, the Board formed a CNCG Committee and appointed Alejandra Wood (Chair), Robert Suttie and Craig Nelsen as members of the CNCG Committee. On January 27, 2022, the Board adopted a charter setting out the CNCG Committees' purpose and responsibilities, a copy of which attached to this Circular as Schedule B. Accordingly, in the future, in accordance with its charter, the CNCG will be primarily responsible for compensation and benefits for the executive officers and directors of the Company and identifying individuals qualified to become Board members and Board committee members, and recommending Director nominees for selection, appointment or election to the Board; and developing and recommending to the Board corporate governance guidelines for the Company and making recommendations to the Board with respect to corporate governance practices.

Directorships

Each of the following is a director of the following reporting issuers, other than the Company:

Craig Nelsen: OceanaGold Corporation (TSX).
Raymond Jannas: Regulus Resources Inc. (TSXV)
William Jung: Golden Sky Minerals Corp. (TSXV); Trailbreaker Resources Ltd. (TSXV).
Robert Suttie: BE Resources Inc. (NEX); Cascada Silver Corp. (CSE); North Peak Resources Limited (TSXV); NuGen Medical Devices Inc. (TSXV).

No other current director or nominee is presently a director of any other issuer that is a reporting issuer (or the equivalent) in a Canadian or foreign jurisdiction.

Orientation and Continuing Education

In the past, the Board has ensured that each new nominee had the competencies, skills and personal qualities required to perform his duty properly, and Company management provided informal orientation and education to new directors respecting the Company's history, properties, performance and strategic plans.

Following the formation of the CNCG Committee on December 16, 2021, the CNCG Committee will develop formal policies with respect to the orientation of new directors and take any measures to provide continuing education for the directors.

Ethical Business Conduct

To date, the Board has not adopted a formal written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics as the limited scope of the Company's operations and the small number of officers and consultants allowed the Board to monitor on an ongoing basis the activities of management and to ensure that the highest standard of ethical conduct is maintained. As the Company grows in size and scope, the Board anticipates that the newly formed CNCG Committee will formulate and implement a formal Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Compensation and Nomination of Directors

The Board has not historically had a formal process in place with respect to the recruitment or appointment of new directors. Candidates have historically been recruited by existing Board members, and the recruitment process has involved both formal and informal discussions among Board members. On December 16, 2021, the Board formed the CNCG Committee. Accordingly, in the future, the identification of individuals qualified to join the Board and succession planning for directors of the Company will be a primarily responsibility of the CNCG Committee.

Historically, the Board as a whole determined compensation of directors on recommendations from independent directors and senior management. The CNCG Committee will now provide recommendations to the Board on such matters in accordance with its charter. Historically, directors had only being compensated for acting as directors through the issuance of stock options (such options having been issued in accordance with the policies of the TSXV), however, on December 16, 2021, the Board resolved, on a recommendation from senior management, that non-executive directors will now be paid $1,000 per month and the Chair of the Board $2,000 per month in recognition of their services as directors to the Company, such fees to be accrued and paid quarterly. The Board is satisfied that the fees being paid to non-executive directors and the Chair of the Board, in addition to the currently outstanding stock options issued to such directors, adequately reflect the responsibilities and risks involved in being an effective director of the Company.

Assessments

The Board monitors, but does not formally assess, the performance of individual Board and committee members and their contributions. The Board does not, at present, have a formal process in place for assessing the effectiveness of the Board as a whole, its committees or individual directors, but will consider implementing one in the future should circumstances warrant. Based on the Company's size, its stage of development and the limited number of individuals on the Board, the Board considers a formal assessment process to be inappropriate at this time. In accordance with its charter, the CNCG Committee will now assist the Board with certain assessments relating to the size, composition and future assessments of the Board.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

As a reporting issuer in British Columbia, the Company is required to have an audit committee. NI 52-110 requires the Company, as a venture issuer, to disclose annually in its information circular the information required by Form 52-110F2 – "Disclosure by Venture Issuers".

Craig Nelsen and Robert Suttie are independent members of the Audit Committee of the Company for the purposes of NI 52-110.

NI 52-110 provides that an individual is "financially literate" if he or she has the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the issuer's financial statements.

Recommendations

The Board recommends that the shareholders vote "FOR" the election of management's nominees as directors.

If named as proxy holder, on any ballot, the management designees of the Company named in the Proxy intend to vote the shares represented by each Proxy in respect of which they have been named proxy holder "FOR" the election of each of management's nominees as a director of the Company unless such Proxy specifies that authority to do so is withheld.

Management does not contemplate that any of the nominees will be unable to serve as a director. If, prior to the Meeting, any of the nominees is unable or declines to stand for election re-election, the management designees of the Company named in the Proxy will vote for another nominee of management, if presented at the Meeting, or to reduce the number of directors accordingly, in their discretion.

C. Appointment of Auditor

Management recommends that shareholders vote in favour of reappointing DeVisser Gray LLP, Chartered Accountants, which firm has been auditor of the Company since November 12, 2015, as the Company's auditor to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until it resigns or is removed from office by the Company, with remuneration to be approved by the Board.

Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, to pass an ordinary resolution, in substantially the following form, subject to such changes as may be recommended or required by counsel or securities regulatory authorities:

"Resolved, as an ordinary resolution, that DeVisser Gray LLP, Chartered Accountants, be appointed as the Company's auditor until the next annual meeting of shareholders following the Meeting, or until it resigns or is removed from office by the Company, with remuneration to be approved by the board of directors."

If named as proxy holder, on any ballot, the management designees of the Company named in the Proxy intend to vote the shares represented by each Proxy in respect of which they have been named proxy holder "FOR" the appointment of DeVisser Gray LLP, Chartered Accountants, as auditor of the Company, unless such Proxy specifies that authority to do so is withheld.

D. Stock Option Plan

The Plan provides for the granting of options to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and subsidiaries of the Company. Stock options are a significant long-term incentive and are viewed as an important aspect of compensation. The Plan is referred to as a "10% rolling stock option plan" and was established to provide incentive to qualified parties to increase their proprietary interest in the Company and thereby encourage their continuing association with the Company. The Plan is administered by the directors of the Company. The Plan provides that options will be issued pursuant to option agreements to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and subsidiaries of the Company. Options do not vest until such agreement has been executed and delivered to the Company by

the grantee. All options expire on a date determined by the Board, but in any event not later than five years after the granting of such options.

The TSXV requires all listed companies having 10% rolling stock option plans to obtain shareholder approval of such plans annually.

The Plan authorizes the Board to grant stock options to eligible persons on the following essential terms:

(a) The aggregate number of shares which may be issued pursuant to options granted under the Plan, unless otherwise approved by shareholders, may not exceed that number which is equal to 10% of the shares of the Company issued and outstanding on the relevant grant date.
(b) The number of shares subject to each option will be determined by the Board, provided that the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to option(s) granted to: (i) any one individual during any 12-month period may not exceed 5% of the issued shares of the Company, unless the additional options are approved by majority of the votes cast by "disinterested shareholders" at a general meeting; (ii) any one Consultant during any 12-month period may not exceed 2% of the issued shares of the Company; (iii) any one Person employed to provide Investor Relations Activities during any 12-month period may not exceed 2% of the issued shares of the Company. In each case, percentages noted in this subsection b) are calculated as at the date of grant of the option, including all other shares under option to such Person at that time.
(c) The exercise price of an option may not be set at a price less than the closing market price of the Company's shares on the trading day immediately preceding the date of grant of the option less a maximum discount of 25%.
(d) Options may be exercisable for a period of up to five years and, in the case of Consultants who are engaged in Investor Relations Activities will vest over a period of not less than 12 months, with not more than 25% of the options granted vesting quarterly.
(e) The options are non-assignable, except in certain circumstances to specific non-arms' length parties.
(f) The options can only be exercised by the optionee as long as the optionee remains an eligible optionee pursuant to the Plan or within a reasonable period (set by the directors in each case) after ceasing to be an eligible optionee or, if the optionee dies, within one year from the date of the optionee's death.
(g) On the occurrence of a takeover bid, issuer bid or going private transaction, the Board will have the right to accelerate the date on which any option becomes exercisable.

The TSXV requires that any amendments to the Plan or outstanding options must be approved by the TSXV and, in some cases, by the "disinterested shareholders" of the Company prior to becoming effective. For example, any proposed extension of the exercise term or decrease in the exercise price of options held by insiders must be approved by the "disinterested shareholders" and accepted by the TSXV. "Disinterested shareholders" are holders of outstanding common shares entitled to vote and represented in person online or by proxy, excluding votes attaching to outstanding common shares beneficially owned by insiders of the Company to whom shares may be issued pursuant to the Plan and associates of such insiders. Accordingly, at the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, to pass an ordinary resolution approving the Amendments. The Amendments and the requirements for approval are more particularly described under " Particulars of Matters to be Acted On – Amendments to the Stock Option Plan ".

At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to approve the Plan by ordinary resolution. Specifically, shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, to pass an ordinary resolution in substantially the following form, subject to such changes as may be recommended by legal counsel or required by Regulatory Authorities:

"Resolved, as an ordinary resolution, that the Company's 10% rolling stock option plan is ratified, confirmed and approved, including the reserving for issuance under the stock option plan (and all other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company) at any time of a maximum of 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, subject to regulatory approval, all as more particularly described in the Company's information circular dated February 11, 2022."

A copy of the Plan is attached as Schedule C to this Circular. A copy of the Plan will be made available for viewing at the Meeting.

The Board recommends that the shareholders vote "FOR" approval and ratification of the Plan.

If named as proxy holder, on any ballot, the management designees of the Company named in the Proxy intend to vote the shares represented by each Proxy in respect of which they have been named proxy holder "FOR" approval and ratification of the Plan unless such Proxy specifies that the proxy holder is to vote "AGAINST" approval and ratification of the Plan.

E. Amendments to Stock Option Plan

On February 11, 2022, the Board approved certain substantive amendments (the " Amendments ") to the Plan to update existing or add new provisions to the Plan in accordance with the requirements of the new Policy 4.4. of the TSXV Corporate Finance Manual (the " TSXV Manual ") which came into effect on November 24, 2021. The Board also made certain non-substantive amendments to the Plan to correct typographical errors and to clarify existing provisions of the Plan that did not substantively alter the scope, nature and intent of the provisions of the Plan. In accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the TSXV Manual, those non-substantive amendments do not require shareholder approval and accordingly are not set out below.

The following Amendments (with the emphasized text below showing the changes to certain provisions of the Plan) are being proposed to the Plan:

(a) The addition of the following definition:

" "Security Based Compensation Plan" has the meaning given to such term in TSXV Policy 4.4, which when used to refer to such plans of ATX, includes this 2021 Plan ."

(b) The addition of the following limitations to the Plan:

"4(b)…(iv) the number of Common Shares which may be issued under this 2021 Plan together which with Common Shares reserved for issuance under all other ~~stock option plans~~ Security Based Compensation Plans of ATX shall not exceed 10% of the Issued Common Shares , calculated on the date an option is granted to a Person (unless ATX has obtained the requisite Disinterested Shareholder Approval); (v) the aggregate number of Common Shares which may be issued under all Security Based Compensation Plans granted or issued to Insiders as a group shall not exceed 10% of the Issued Common Shares on a non-diluted basis at any point in time; and

(vi) the aggregate number of Common Shares that are issuable under all Security Based - Compensation Plans granted or issued in any 12 month period to Insiders as a group shall not exceed 10%of the Issued Common Shares, calculated on the date an option is granted to an Insider. "

(c) The addition of the following limitations on vesting of options issued to those persons performing Investor Relations Activities (as such term is defined in the TSXV Manual):

"7(c) Subject to the Board's sole discretion in modifying the vesting of options, from time to time, options granted shall vest, and become exercisable, upon and subject to such terms, conditions and limitations as contained herein and otherwise as the Board may from time to time determine with respect to each option except that options issued to Persons retained to provide Investor Relations Activities must vest in stages over a period of not less than twelve months and no more than 25% of such options can vest in any three month period ; provided that the vesting of such options issued to Persons retained to provide Investor Relations Activities may not be accelerated by the Board without prior approval of the TSXV ."

"14(b) Effect of Take-Over Bid… The Board will have the sole discretion to amend, abridge or otherwise eliminate any vesting terms, conditions or schedule so that despite the other terms of this 2021 Plan (except, without the prior approval of the TSXV, the vesting terms of options granted to Persons retained to perform Investor Relation Activities) , any options granted under this 2021 Plan may be exercised in whole or in part by Eligible Participants so as to permit Eligible Participants to tender the Common Shares received upon the exercise of options (the "Optioned Shares") pursuant to the Offer…"

"14(c) Effect of Reorganization, Amalgamation, Merger, etc… Notwithstanding any other term of this 2021 Plan, the Board has the sole discretion to amend, abridge or eliminate any vesting terms (except, without the prior approval of the TSXV, the vesting terms of options granted to Persons retained to perform Investor Relation Activities) , conditions or schedule or to otherwise amend the conditions of exercise so that any such option may be exercised in whole or in part by the Eligible Participant so as to entitle the Eligible Participant to receive any securities, property or cash which the Eligible Participant would have received upon such consolidation, reorganization, merger, amalgamation, statutory amalgamation or arrangement, separation or transfer if the Eligible Participant had exercised his, her or its Option immediately prior to the applicable record date or event."

(d) The following limitation on the exercise period of an option after the date that the holder thereof ceases to be an eligible participant under the Plan:

"8(b) Termination of Employment or Office. Subject to the discretion of the Board to determine otherwise (which for these purposes does not include a reference to a Committee) or as otherwise agreed in any contract with any Eligible Participant which has been approved by the Board, and this section 8, if any Eligible Participant shall cease to be an Eligible Participant of, or to, ATX, for any reason, other than for cause or death, he or she may exercise any option issued under this 2021 Plan that is then exercisable, but only within the period that is 30 days from the date that he or she ceases to be an Eligible Participant, provided that, in each case, the exercise period of an option held by a Person who ceases to be an Eligible Participant shall not be longer than 12 months following the date such Person ceased to be an Eligible Participant. Before expiry of an option under this paragraph 8(b), the Board shall notify the former Eligible Participant in writing of such expiry no less than five days prior to its expiry. In the event that an Eligible Participant ceases to be an Eligible Participant because of termination for cause or material violation of any agreement, the options of the Eligible Participant not exercised at such time shall immediately be cancelled on the date of such termination and be of no further force or effect whatsoever notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this 2021 Plan."

(e) The deletion of the Board's ability to extend an option of a person who has ceased to be an eligible participant under the Plan:

"9 In addition to the provisions of section 8, the Board (which for these purposes does not include a reference to a Committee) may extend the period of time within which an option held by a deceased Eligible Participant may be exercised ~~or within which an option may be exercised by an Eligible Participant who has ceased to be an Eligible Participant~~ but such an extension shall not be granted beyond the original expiry date of the option. Any extensions of options granted under this 2021 Plan are subject to any applicable regulatory or stock exchange approvals required at such time."

(f) The addition of the following amendment to options granted under the Plan requiring disinterested shareholder approval before it is implemented:

"11(b) (vii) the expiry date of any option issued under this 2021 Plan to an Insider where such amendment would cause an extension to the original expiry date; or"

(g) The addition of the following requirement for TSXV approval of certain adjustments made to options issued under the Plan:

"14 (d) TSXV Approval. Notwithstanding any other provision of this 2021 Plan, any adjustment to an option granted or issued under this 2021 Plan (except in relation to a consolidation or stock split) is subject to the prior approval of the TSXV. "

In accordance with the TSXV Manual, the Amendments are subject to the approval of shareholders. If the Amendments are approved by shareholders, Amended Plan will supersede and replace the Plan and the 5,505,000 options granted under the Plan as of the date of this Circular will be deemed to have been granted under the Amended Plan. In the event that shareholders do not approve the Amendments at the Meeting, the Plan (if such plan is approved by shareholders at the Meeting) will remain in effect without the Amendments.

At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to vote on the following ordinary resolution:

"Resolved as an ordinary resolution, that the amendments to the Company's 10% rolling stock option plan, as more particularly described in the Company's information circular dated February 11, 2022, are hereby ratified, confirmed and approved."

(a) Options shall be granted only to Eligible Participants or to a registered retirement savings plan established and controlled by an Eligible Participant and provided that in each case, the Eligible Participant is an Eligible Participant at the time of the grant.
(b) Subject to the foregoing, the Board shall have full and final authority to determine the Eligible Participants who are to be allocated and granted options under this 2021 Plan and the number of Common Shares subject to each option grant. Subject to section 14, stock options granted under this 2021 Plan shall be for the purchase of Common Shares only, and for no other security.

(c) Unless limited by the terms of this 2021 Plan or any regulatory or stock exchange requirement, the Board shall have full and final authority to determine the terms and conditions attached to any grant of options under this 2021 Plan.
(d)
ATX may only grant options pursuant to resolutions of the Board.
(e) ATX may not grant any options while there is an undisclosed material change or undisclosed material fact relating to ATX.
(f) In determining options to be granted to Eligible Participants, the Board shall give due consideration to the value of each such Eligible Participant's present and potential contribution to the success of ATX.
(g) Any option granted under this 2021 Plan shall be subject to the requirement that, if at any time ATX shall determine that the listing, registration or qualification of the Common Shares subject to such option, or such option itself, upon any stock exchange or under any law or regulation of any jurisdiction, or the consent or approval of any stock exchange or any governmental or regulatory body, is necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the grant or exercise of such option or the issuance or purchase of Common Shares thereunder, such option may not be granted, accepted or exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained on conditions acceptable to the Board (which for these purposes does not include a reference to a Committee). For certainty, it is expressly stated that ATX may only grant options, and issue Common Shares on exercise thereof, to Eligible Participants resident in jurisdictions in Canada where NI 45-106 has been complied with. However, nothing herein shall be deemed or construed to require ATX to apply for or to obtain such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval.
(h) For options granted to Employees, Consultants or Management Company Employees, ATX and the Eligible Participant are responsible for ensuring and confirming that the Eligible Participant is a bona fide Employee, Consultant or Management Company Employee, as the case may be.
(i) The Board shall complete and file, in accordance with applicable law, or shall cause to be completed and filed, all notices, reports, filings or other documentation required by applicable law, regulatory requirement or stock exchange rule, in connection with a grant of options or an issuance or purchase of Common Shares thereunder.

6. PRICE

(a) The option exercise price per Common Share that is subject of any option shall be fixed by the Board when such option is granted.
(b) The option exercise price per Common Shares shall not be less than the Discounted Market Price. If ATX does not issue a news release to fix the exercise price pursuant to TSXV Policy 4.4, the Discounted Market Price is the last closing price before the date of the grant.
(c) Where the exercise price of an option is at a discount to Market Price, all stock options and any Common Shares issued under such options exercised prior to the expiry of the Exchange Hold Period shall be legended with the Exchange Hold Period commencing on the date the stock options were granted.
(d) The Board shall not set the exercise price of any option on the basis of a Market Price which does not reflect material information of which the Directors and Officers of ATX are aware but which has not been generally disclosed to the public.

(e) The option price per share will be expressed in Canadian dollars.

7. PERIOD OF OPTION AND RIGHTS TO EXERCISE

(a) Subject to the provisions of this section 7 and sections 8 and 9 below, options will be exercisable in whole or in part, and from time to time, at any time following the date of grant and prior to the expiry of their term, but provided that if an option expires during a Blackout Period (including expiry of an option under subsections 8(a) and 8(b) below but not including expiry of an option if the Eligible Participant shall cease to be an Eligible Participant for cause), then the option shall remain exercisable until the period ending up to 10 trading days after the end of such Black-out Period, notwithstanding the expiry of its term, except that in no event may such exercise occur more than ten years after the initial grant date of the option.
(b) Options shall not be granted for a term exceeding five years (but subject to extension in the case of Black-out Period as described in subsection 7(a) above).
(c) Subject to the Board's sole discretion in modifying the vesting of options, from time to time, options granted shall vest, and become exercisable, upon and subject to such terms, conditions and limitations as contained herein and otherwise as the Board may from time to time determine with respect to each option except that options issued to Persons retained to provide Investor Relations Activities must vest in stages over a period of not less than twelve months and no more than 25% of such options can vest in any three month period.
(d) The Common Shares to be purchased upon each exercise of an option shall be paid for in full in cash by the Eligible Participant at the time of exercise.
(e) Except as provided in paragraph 8 and 9 below, no option which is held by an Eligible Participant may be exercised unless the Eligible Participant is then an Eligible Participant, and in the case of an Employee, the Employee has been continually employed by ATX since the date of the grant of the option, but provided that an authorized absence of leave shall not be considered an interruption of employment for purposes of this 2021 Plan.

8. CESSATION OF PROVISION OF SERVICES

(a) Death of an Eligible Participant . In the event of the death of an Eligible Participant during the term of the Eligible Participant's option, the option theretofore granted to the Eligible Participant shall be exercisable within, but only within, the period of one year next succeeding the Eligible Participant's death, and in no event after the expiry date of the option. Before expiry of an option under this paragraph 8(a), the Board shall notify the Eligible Participant's representative in writing of such expiry no less than twenty days prior to its expiry.
(b) Termination of Employment or Office . Subject to the discretion of the Board to determine otherwise (which for these purposes does not include a reference to a Committee) or as otherwise agreed in any contract with any Eligible Participant which has been approved by the Board, and this section 8, if any Eligible Participant shall cease to be an Eligible Participant of, or to, ATX, for any reason, other than for cause or death, he or she may exercise any option issued under this 2021 Plan that is then exercisable, but only within the period that is 30 days from the date that he or she ceases to be an Eligible Participant. Before expiry of an option under this paragraph 8(b), the Board shall notify the former Eligible Participant in writing of such expiry no less than five days prior to its expiry. In the event that an Eligible Participant ceases to be an Eligible Participant because of termination for cause or material violation of any agreement, the options of the Eligible

Participant not exercised at such time shall immediately be cancelled on the date of such termination and be of no further force or effect whatsoever notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this 2021 Plan.

(a) Other . If any Eligible Participant shall cease to be an Eligible Participant for any reason other than provided for in this section 8, the options of the Eligible Participant not exercised at such time shall immediately be cancelled and be of no further force or effect whatsoever, unless otherwise determined by the Board.

9. EXTENSION OF OPTION

In addition to the provisions of section 8, the Board (which for these purposes does not include a reference to a Committee) may extend the period of time within which an option held by a deceased Eligible Participant may be exercised or within which an option may be exercised by an Eligible Participant who has ceased to be an Eligible Participant but such an extension shall not be granted beyond the original expiry date of the option. Any extensions of options granted under this 2021 Plan are subject to any applicable regulatory or stock exchange approvals required at such time.

10. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION

Subject to applicable law, no option granted under this 2021 Plan shall be assignable or transferable otherwise than:

(a) by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and such option shall be exercisable, during an Eligible Participant's lifetime, only by the Eligible Participant (subject to subsection 8(a)); or
(b) to an Eligible Participant's registered retirement savings plan (" RRSP ") or registered retirement income fund (" RRIF "), provided that the Eligible Participant is, during the Eligible Participant's lifetime, the sole beneficiary of the RRSP or RRIF.

11. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE 2021 PLAN

(a) Subject to subsection 11(b), the Board (which for these purposes does not include a reference to a Committee) may at any time, and from time to time, and without shareholder approval, amend any provision or terminate this 2021 Plan, that is an amendment to fix typographical errors or amendments to clarify the existing provisions of this 2021 Plan that do not substantively alter the scope, nature and intent of the provisions. Any other amendment shall require the approval of the TSXV except as provided in subsection 11(c).
(b) Notwithstanding subsection 11(a) and any TSXV approval to an amendment, the Board (nor the Committee) shall not be permitted to amend:
(i) subsection 4(a) in order to change the percentage of Common Shares issuable under this 2021 Plan;
(ii) the limitations in subsection 4(b);
(iii) section 6 in any manner;
(iv) the method for determining the exercise price of options;
(v) the definition of "Eligible Participant" or the persons eligible to participate in this 2021 Plan;
(vi) the exercise price of any option issued under this 2021 Plan to an Insider where

such amendment reduces the exercise price of such option; or

(vii) the expiry and termination provisions herein;

in each case without first having obtained the approval of a majority of the holders of Common Shares voting at a duly called and held meeting of holders of Common Shares (excluding votes held by any Insider benefiting from the proposed amendment) (" Disinterested Shareholder Approval ").

(c) ATX may amend the terms of a stock option without the acceptance of the TSXV in the following circumstances, but provided ATX issues a news release outlining the terms of the amendment:
(i) to reduce the number of Common Shares under option;
(ii) to increase the exercise price of an option; or
(iii) to cancel an option.
(d) Any amendment or termination shall not alter the terms or conditions of any option or impair any right of any optionholder pursuant to any option granted prior to such amendment or termination.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this 2021 Plan will automatically terminate when, and if, any of the authorizations required to authorize this 2021 Plan shall cease.

12. EVIDENCE OF OPTIONS

Following the grant of an option in accordance with this 2021 Plan, ATX shall forward to such Eligible Participant, a Notice of Grant (the " Notice ") substantially in the form established by ATX from time to time as may be applicable, which Notice shall evidence the grant of the option under this 2021 Plan. ATX shall also forward to the Eligible Participant, in addition to the Notice, a copy of this 2021 Plan (on the first grant of an option) and any other documentation that may be required by applicable law, stock exchange or regulatory requirements.

13. EXERCISE OF OPTION

(a) An option may be exercised from time to time by delivering to ATX at its head or registered office, a written notice of exercise specifying the number of Common Shares with respect to which the option is being exercised and accompanied by payment for the full amount of the purchase price of the Common Shares then being purchased.
(b) Upon receipt of a certificate of an authorized Officer directing the issue of Common Shares purchased under this 2021 Plan, the transfer agent of ATX is authorized and directed to issue and countersign share certificates for the purchased Common Shares in the name of the Eligible Participant or the Eligible Participant's legal personal representative or as may otherwise be directed in writing by the Eligible Participant, including into a book-entry system, if requested.
(c) Notwithstanding paragraph 5(g), ATX shall not, upon the exercise of any option, be required to register, issue or deliver any Common Shares prior to (a) the listing of such Common Shares on any stock exchange on which the Common Shares may then be listed, and (b) the completion of such registration or other qualification of such Common Shares under any law, rules or regulation as ATX shall determine to be necessary or advisable (including, without limitation, NI 45-106). If any Common Shares cannot be registered, issued or delivered to any Eligible Participant for whatever reason, the obligation of ATX to

issue such Common Shares shall terminate and any option exercise price paid to ATX shall be returned to the Eligible Participant without deduction or interest.

(d) If ATX or a Subsidiary or Affiliate is required under the Income Tax Act (Canada) or any other applicable law to make source deductions in respect of any stock option benefits and to remit to the applicable governmental authority an amount on account of tax on the value of the taxable benefit associated with the issuance of Common Shares on exercise of options, then the Eligible Participant shall:
(i) pay to ATX or the Subsidiary or Affiliate, in addition to the exercise price for the options, sufficient cash as is reasonably determined by ATX to be the amount necessary to permit the required tax remittance; or
(ii) permit ATX or the Subsidiary or Affiliate to sell or cause to be sold by a broker or agent engaged by ATX, on behalf of the Eligible Participant, such number of Common Shares issuable to the Eligible Participant on the exercise of such options as is sufficient to fund ATX's or the Subsidiary or Affiliate's obligations to make source deductions; or
(iii) make other arrangements acceptable to ATX to fund the required tax remittance.
(e) The sale of Common Shares by ATX, or by a broker or agent engaged by the ATX or a Subsidiary or Affiliate in accordance with subsection 13(d)(ii), will be made on the exchange on which the Common Shares are then listed for trading. The Eligible Participant consents to such sale and grants to ATX an irrevocable power of attorney to effect the sale of such Common Shares on his or her behalf and acknowledges and agrees that:
(i) the number of Common Shares sold shall, at a minimum, be sufficient to fund ATX or the Subsidiary or Affiliate's obligations to make source deductions, net of any selling costs, which costs are the responsibility of the Eligible Participant and which the Eligible Participant hereby authorizes to be deducted from the proceeds of such sale;
(ii) in effecting the sale of any such Common Shares, ATX or the Subsidiary or Affiliate or the broker or agent will exercise its sole judgement as to the timing and the manner of sale and will not be obligated to seek or obtain any minimum price;
(iii) neither ATX nor the Subsidiary or Affiliate, nor the broker or agent will be liable for any loss arising out of any sale of such Common Shares, including any loss relating to the pricing, manner of timing of such sales or any delay in transferring any Common Shares to an Eligible Participant or otherwise; and
(iv) the sale price of Common Shares will fluctuate with the market price of the Common Shares and no assurance can be given that any particular price will be received upon any sale.
(f) It is the responsibility of the Eligible Participant to ensure that they adhere to tax legislation in their jurisdiction regarding the reporting of benefits derived from the exercise of options.
(g) In the event any taxation authority should reassess ATX or a Subsidiary or Affiliate for failure to have withheld income tax, or other similar payments from the Eligible Participant, pursuant to the provisions herein, the Eligible Participant shall reimburse and save harmless ATX, the Subsidiary or Affiliate for the entire amount assessed, including penalties, interest and other charges.

14. ADJUSTMENTS IN SHARES SUBJECT TO THE 2021 PLAN

For the purposes of Section 14, any reference to the Board does not include a reference to a Committee.

(a) Adjustment. Subject to this section 14, the aggregate number and kind of shares or other securities available or issuable under this 2021 Plan shall be appropriately and equitably adjusted in the event of an arrangement, reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering or any other change in the corporate structure or shares or other securities of ATX. The options granted under this 2021 Plan may contain such provisions as the Board may determine with respect to adjustments to be made in the number and kind of shares covered by such options and in the option price in the event of any such change.
(b) Effect of Take-Over Bid. If a bona fide offer (the " Offer ") for Common Shares is made to an Eligible Participant or to shareholders generally or to a class of shareholders which includes an Eligible Participant, which Offer, if accepted in whole or in part, would result in the offeror exercising control over ATX within the meaning of the British Columbia Securities Act , then ATX shall, if instructed by the Board in its sole discretion, notify each Eligible Participant of the full particulars of the Offer. The Board will have the sole discretion to amend, abridge or otherwise eliminate any vesting terms, conditions or schedule so that despite the other terms of this 2021 Plan, any options granted under this 2021 Plan may be exercised in whole or in part by Eligible Participants so as to permit Eligible Participants to tender the Common Shares received upon the exercise of options (the " Optioned Shares ") pursuant to the Offer. If:
(i) the Offer is not complied with within the time specified therein;
(ii) the Eligible Participant does not tender the Optioned Shares pursuant to the Offer; or
(iii) all of the Optioned Shares tendered by the Eligible Participant pursuant to the Offer are not taken up and paid for by the offeror in respect thereof;

then, at the discretion of the Board, the Optioned Shares or, in the case of clause (iii) above, the Optioned Shares that are not taken up and paid for, shall be returned by the Eligible Participant and reinstated as authorized but unissued Common Shares and the terms of the option as set forth in this 2021 Plan and the Notice shall again apply to the Option. If any Optioned Shares are returned to ATX under this Section, ATX shall refund the exercise price to the Eligible Participant for such Optioned Shares.

(c) Effect of Reorganization, Amalgamation, Merger, etc. If there is a consolidation, reorganization, merger, amalgamation or statutory amalgamation or arrangement of ATX with or into another corporation, a separation of the business of ATX into two or more entities or a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of ATX to another entity, at the discretion of the Board, upon the exercise of an option under this 2021 Plan, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any securities, property or cash which the Eligible Participant would have received upon such consolidation, reorganization, merger, amalgamation, statutory amalgamation or arrangement, separation or transfer if the Eligible Participant had exercised his option immediately prior to the applicable record date or event, as applicable, and the exercise price shall be adjusted as applicable by the Board, unless the Board otherwise determines the basis upon which such option shall be exercisable, and any such adjustments shall be binding for all purposes of this 2021 Plan. Notwithstanding any other term of this 2021 Plan, the Board has the sole discretion to amend, abridge or eliminate any vesting terms, conditions or schedule or to otherwise amend the conditions of exercise so that any such option may be exercised in whole or in part by the Eligible Participant so as to entitle the Eligible Participant to receive any

securities, property or cash which the Eligible Participant would have received upon such consolidation, reorganization, merger, amalgamation, statutory amalgamation or arrangement, separation or transfer if the Eligible Participant had exercised his Option immediately prior to the applicable record date or event.

15. RIGHTS PRIOR TO EXERCISE

An Eligible Participant shall have no rights whatsoever as a shareholder in respect of any Common Shares (including any right to receive dividends or other distributions therefrom or thereon) other than in respect of Common Shares in respect of which the Eligible Participant shall have exercised the option to purchase hereunder and which the Eligible Participant shall have actually taken up and paid for in full. For greater certainty a holder of an option under this 2021 Plan shall not be permitted to vote on any arrangement of ATX proposed to the holders of Common Shares of ATX.

16. NO CONTINUED SERVICE

The granting of an option to an Eligible Participant under this 2021 Plan shall not impose upon the ATX, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate any obligation whatsoever to retain the Eligible Participant as a service provider of such entity.

17. GOVERNING LAW

This 2021 Plan shall be construed in accordance with and be governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia.

18. EXPIRY OF OPTION

On the expiry date of any option granted under this 2021 Plan, and subject to any extension of such expiry date permitted in accordance with this 2021 Plan, such option shall forthwith expire and terminate and be of no further force or effect whatsoever, or as to the Common Shares in respect of which the option has not been exercised.

19. SUPREMACY

To the extent there is any inconsistency between this 2021 Plan and Exchange Rules, the Exchange Rules shall prevail.

20. EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE 2021 0PLAN

This 2021 Plan becomes immediately effective on the date that the last of the following approvals is received:

(a) the approval of a majority of the Board; and
(b) the approval of the shareholders of ATX.

21. APPROVAL

(a) Unless Exchange Rules otherwise provide, this 2021 Plan must receive the approval of shareholders at the annual general meeting of ATX for that year.
(b) Where any shareholder approval required in this 2021 Plan is required to be Disinterested Shareholder Approval, such approval must be determined and calculated as required by Exchange Rules.
