PROXIES AND VOTING RIGHTS

Management Solicitation

The solicitation of proxies by management of the Company will be conducted by mail and may be supplemented by telephone or other personal contact to be made without special compensation to any of the directors, officers and employees of the Company. The Company does not reimburse Shareholders, nominees or agents for costs incurred in obtaining from their principals authorization to execute forms of proxy, except that the Company has requested brokers and nominees who hold stock in their respective names to furnish this proxy material to their customers who are NOBOs (as defined below), and the Company will reimburse such brokers and nominees for their related out of pocket expenses. No solicitation will be made by specifically engaged employees or soliciting agents. The cost of solicitation will be borne by the Company.

No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representation other than as contained in this Information Circular in connection with the solicitation of proxies. If given or made, such information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the Company. The delivery of this Information Circular shall not create, under any circumstances, any implication that there has been no change in the information set forth herein since the date of this Information Circular. This Information Circular does not constitute the solicitation of a proxy by anyone in any jurisdiction in which such solicitation is not authorized, or in which the person making such solicitation is not qualified to do so, or to anyone to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer of solicitation.

Appointment of Proxy

Registered Shareholders are entitled to vote at the Meeting. A Shareholder is entitled to one vote for each Share that such Shareholder holds on the record date of November 7, 2025 on the resolutions to be voted upon at the Meeting, and any other matter to come before the Meeting.

The persons named as proxyholders (the "Designated Persons") in the enclosed form of proxy are directors and/or officers of the Company.


  • 2 -

A SHAREHOLDER HAS THE RIGHT TO APPOINT A PERSON OR COMPANY (WHO NEED NOT BE A SHAREHOLDER) OTHER THAN THE DESIGNATED PERSONS NAMED IN THE ENCLOSED FORM OF PROXY TO ATTEND AND ACT FOR OR ON BEHALF OF THAT SHAREHOLDER AT THE MEETING.

A SHAREHOLDER MAY EXERCISE THIS RIGHT BY INSERTING THE NAME OF SUCH OTHER PERSON IN THE BLANK SPACE PROVIDED ON THE FORM OF PROXY. SUCH SHAREHOLDER SHOULD NOTIFY THE NOMINEE OF THE APPOINTMENT, OBTAIN THE NOMINEE'S CONSENT TO ACT AS PROXY AND SHOULD PROVIDE INSTRUCTION TO THE NOMINEE ON HOW THE SHAREHOLDER'S SHARES SHOULD BE VOTED. THE NOMINEE SHOULD BRING PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION TO THE MEETING.

The Shareholder may vote by mail, by telephone or via the Internet by following instructions provided in the form of proxy at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays recognized in the Province of British Columbia) prior to the scheduled time of the Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof. The Chairman of the Meeting, in their sole discretion, may accept completed forms of proxy on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

A proxy may not be valid unless it is dated and signed by the Shareholder who is giving it or by that Shareholder's attorney-in-fact duly authorized by that Shareholder in writing or, in the case of a corporation, dated and executed by a duly authorized officer or attorney-in-fact for the corporation. If a form of proxy is executed by an attorney-in-fact for an individual Shareholder or joint Shareholders, or by an officer or attorney-in-fact for a corporate Shareholder, the instrument so empowering the officer or attorney-in-fact, as the case may be, or a notarially certified copy thereof, must accompany the form of proxy.

Revocation of Proxies

A Shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by an instrument in writing: (a) executed by that Shareholder or by that Shareholder's attorney-in-fact authorized in writing or, where the Shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer of, or attorney-in-fact for, the corporation; and (b) delivered either: (i) to the Company at the address set forth above, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting or, if adjourned or postponed, any reconvening thereof, (ii) to the Chairman of the Meeting prior to the vote on matters covered by the proxy on the day of the Meeting or, if adjourned or postponed, any reconvening thereof, or (iii) in any other manner provided by law.

Also, a proxy will automatically be revoked by either: (i) attendance at the Meeting and participation in a poll (ballot) by a Shareholder, or (ii) submission of a subsequent proxy in accordance with the foregoing procedures. A revocation of a proxy does not affect any matter on which a vote has been taken prior to any such revocation.

Voting of Shares and Proxies and Exercise of Discretion by Designated Persons

A Shareholder may indicate the manner in which the Designated Persons are to vote with respect to a matter to be voted upon at the Meeting by marking the appropriate space on the proxy. The Shares represented by a proxy will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholder on any ballot that may be called for and if the Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Shares will be voted accordingly.

IF NO CHOICE IS SPECIFIED IN THE PROXY WITH RESPECT TO A MATTER TO BE ACTED UPON, THE PROXY CONFERS DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY WITH RESPECT TO THAT MATTER UPON THE DESIGNATED PERSONS NAMED IN THE FORM OF PROXY. IT IS INTENDED THAT THE DESIGNATED PERSONS WILL VOTE THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THE PROXY IN FAVOUR OF EACH MATTER IDENTIFIED IN THE PROXY.

The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting, including any amendments or variations to any matters identified in the Notice. At the date of this Information Circular, management of the Company is not aware of any such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting.

Avanti Gold Information Circular


  • 3 -

In the case of abstentions from, or withholding of, the voting of the Shares of a Shareholder on any matter, the Shares that are the subject of the abstention or withholding will be counted for determination of a quorum but will not be counted as affirmative or negative on the matter to be voted upon.

ADVICE TO BENEFICIAL SHAREHOLDERS

The information set out in this section is of significant importance to those Shareholders who do not hold Shares in their own name. Shareholders who do not hold their Shares in their own name (referred to in this Information Circular as "Beneficial Shareholders") should note that only proxies deposited by Shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of Shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If Shares are listed in an account statement provided by a broker, then in almost all cases those Shares will not be registered in the Beneficial Shareholder's name on the records of the Company. Such Shares will more likely be registered under the names of the Beneficial Shareholder's broker or an agent of that broker. In the United States, the vast majority of such Shares are registered under the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for The Depository Trust Company (which acts as depositary for many U.S. brokerage firms and custodian banks), and in Canada, under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Beneficial Shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their Shares are communicated to the appropriate person well in advance of the Meeting.

The Company does not have access to the names of all of Beneficial Shareholders. Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of Shareholders' meetings. Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Shares are voted at the Meeting. The form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker (or the agent of the broker) is similar to the form of proxy provided to registered Shareholders by the Company. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered Shareholder (the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge") in the United States and in Canada. Broadridge typically prepares a special voting instruction form, mails this form to the Beneficial Shareholders and asks for appropriate instructions regarding the voting of Shares to be voted at the Meeting. If Beneficial Shareholders receive the voting instruction forms from Broadridge, they are requested to complete and return the voting instruction forms to Broadridge by mail or facsimile. Alternatively, Beneficial Shareholders can call a toll-free number and access Broadridge's dedicated voting website (each as noted on the voting instruction form) to deliver their voting instructions and to vote the Shares held by them. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder receiving a Broadridge voting instruction form cannot use that form as a proxy to vote Shares directly at the Meeting - the voting instruction form must be returned to Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the applicable Shares voted at the Meeting.

Although a Beneficial Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Shares registered in the name of his, her or its broker (or agent of the broker), a Beneficial Shareholder may attend at the Meeting as proxyholder for the registered Shareholder and vote the Shares in that capacity. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to attend at the Meeting and indirectly vote their Shares as proxyholder for the registered Shareholder should enter their own names in the blank space on the instrument of proxy provided to them and return the same to their broker (or the broker's agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker (or agent), well in advance of the Meeting.

Alternatively, a Beneficial Shareholder may request in writing that their or its broker send to the Beneficial Shareholder a legal proxy which would enable the Beneficial Shareholder to attend at the Meeting and vote his, her or its Shares.

Beneficial Shareholders consist of non-objecting beneficial owners (each, a "NOBO") and objecting beneficial owners (each, an "OBO"). A NOBO is a beneficial owner of securities that has provided instructions to an intermediary holding the securities in an account on behalf of the beneficial owner that the beneficial owner does not object, for that account, to the intermediary disclosing ownership information about the beneficial owner under National Instrument 54-101 - Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer ("NI 54-101") of the Canadian Securities Administrators. An OBO means a beneficial owner of securities that has provided instructions to an intermediary holding the securities in an account on behalf of the beneficial owner that the beneficial owner objects, for that account, to the intermediary disclosing ownership information about the beneficial owner under NI 54-101.

Avanti Gold Information Circular


  • 4 -

The materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered owners of the Shares. If you are a Beneficial Shareholder and the Company or its agent has sent the materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of the Company's securities have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding on your behalf. The Company is sending proxy-related materials directly to NOBO holder of the Shares. By choosing to send the materials to you directly, the Company (and not the intermediary holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering the materials to you; and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the proxy.

The Company is sending proxy-related materials directly to NOBOs of the Shares. The Company will not pay for the delivery of proxy-related materials to OBOs of the Shares under NI 54-101 and Form 54-101F7 – Request for Voting Instructions Made by Intermediary. The OBOs of the Shares will not receive the materials unless their intermediary assumes the costs of delivery.

All references to Shareholders in this Information Circular are to registered Shareholders, unless specifically stated otherwise.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Shares without par value. As of the record date, determined by the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") to be the close of business on November 7, 2025 a total of 179,932,219 Shares were issued and outstanding. Each Share carries the right to one vote at the Meeting.

Only registered Shareholders as of the record date are entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at, the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting.

5. OTHER MATTERS

The management of the Company is not aware of any other matter to come before the Meeting other than as set forth in the Notice. If any other matter properly comes before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy to vote the Shares represented thereby in accordance with their best judgment on such matter.

STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Company’s executive compensation objectives and processes and decisions relating to its Named Executive Officers (as defined below) are administered by the Board.

The Board administers all decisions in respect of the compensation matters relating to the Company’s executive officers, employees and directors, including the “Named Executive Officers” who are identified under the section “Named Executive Officers” and in the “Summary Compensation Table”, below.

The Board establishes compensation policies and guidelines for supervisory management and personnel, corporate benefits, bonuses and other incentives, reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to Chief Executive Officer compensation; officer and director compensation (other than the Chief Executive Officer); the review of executive compensation disclosure; succession plans for officers and for key employees; and material changes and trends in human resources policy, procedure, compensation and benefits.

Named Executive Officers

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and the three most highly compensated executive officers of the Company, other than the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, whose total compensation exceeds $150,000 per annum for the financial year ended April 30, 2025, are the “Named Executive Officers” or “NEOs”. For the financial year ended April 30, 2025, the NEOs of the Company were Ian McLean who resigned on July 30, 2025 and Natalie Davies who resigned on September 30, 2025.

Elements of Compensation

The Company’s executive compensation program includes the option for base salary, annual cash bonuses and long-term Share-based incentives comprised of options (“Options”), restricted share units (“RSUs”), performance share units (“PSUs”) and deferred share units (“DSUs”). A significant portion of executive compensation is provided in variable performance-based compensation.

COMPONENT FORM OBJECTIVE TIMING
Fixed Compensation Salary Monthly Cash Compensate based on job requirements, market factors, experience and execution of responsibilities One year
Variable Compensation Omnibus Incentive Plan Stock Options, RSU’s DSU’s and PUS’s Align compensation with long-term corporate performance and Shareholder interests Board’s discretion

Each component of the executive compensation program has a separate objective, and together they offer a balanced approach. Base salary provides secure fixed compensation necessary to attract and retain executive talent. The incentive plan encourages Shareholder value creation over a longer horizon. The design or value of one element of the compensation program would not

Avanti Gold Information Circular


be altered without considering the impact on: each of the other elements, total compensation, and the proportion of fixed and at-risk pay.

Salary

The objective of base salary compensation is to reward and retain Named Executive Officers. In setting base salaries, consideration is given to such factors as level of responsibility, experience, expertise and the amount of time devoted to the affairs of the Company, Subjective factors such as leadership, commitment and attitude are also considered. Base salaries are intended to be market-competitive in order to attract and retain talent. This is the only element of the Company's executive compensation plan that is not considered to be at-risk. Salaries are reviewed each year for market competitiveness.

The Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the "2022 Omnibus Plan"), as approved by Shareholders at an annual general and special meeting of Shareholders held on November 4, 2024, provides flexibility to the Company to grant equity-based incentive awards in the form of Options, RSUs, PSUs and DSUs. The 2022 Omnibus Plan will next need to be approved by Shareholders by November 4, 2027. The purpose of the 2022 Omnibus Plan is to, among other things, provide the Company with a Share related mechanism to attract, retain and motivate qualified directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries, to reward such of those directors, officers, employees and consultants as may be granted awards under the 2022 Omnibus Plan by the Board from time to time for their contributions toward the long-term goals and success of the Company and to enable and encourage such directors, officers, employees and consultants to acquire Shares as long-term investments and proprietary interests in the Company.

Key Terms of the Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan

Shares Subject to the 2022 Omnibus Plan

The 2022 Omnibus Plan is a rolling plan which, subject to the adjustment provisions provided for therein (including a subdivision or consolidation of Shares), provides that the aggregate maximum number of Shares that may be issued upon the exercise or settlement of awards granted under the 2022 Omnibus Plan shall not exceed 20% of the Company's issued and outstanding Shares from time to time. The 2022 Omnibus Plan is considered an "evergreen" plan, since the Shares covered by awards which have been exercised, settled or terminated shall be available for subsequent grants under the 2022 Omnibus Plan and the number of awards available to grant increases as the number of issued and outstanding Shares increases.

Administration of the 2022 Omnibus Plan

The 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator (as defined in the 2022 Omnibus Plan) is determined by the Board, and is initially the Board. The 2022 Omnibus Plan may in the future continue to be administered by the Board itself or delegated to a committee of the Board. The 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator determines which directors, officers, consultants and employees are eligible to receive awards under the 2022 Omnibus Plan, the time or times at which awards may be granted, the conditions under which awards may be granted or forfeited to the Company, the number of Shares to be covered by any award, the exercise price of any award, whether restrictions or limitations are to be imposed on the Shares issuable pursuant to grants of any award, and the nature of any such restrictions or limitations, any acceleration of exercisability or vesting, or waiver of termination regarding any award, based on such factors as the 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator may determine.

In addition, the 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator interprets the 2022 Omnibus Plan and may adopt guidelines and other rules and regulations relating to the 2022 Omnibus Plan, and make all other determinations and take all other actions necessary or advisable for the implementation and administration of the 2022 Omnibus Plan.

Eligibility

All directors, officers, employees and consultants are eligible to participate in the 2022 Omnibus Plan. The extent to which any such individual is entitled to receive a grant of an award pursuant to the 2022 Omnibus Plan will be determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator.

Types of Awards

Avanti Gold Information Circular


  • 10 -

Awards of Options, RSUs, PSUs and DSUs may be made under the 2022 Omnibus Plan. All of the awards described below are subject to the conditions, limitations, restrictions, exercise price, vesting, settlement and forfeiture provisions determined by the 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, subject to such limitations provided in the 2022 Omnibus Plan, and will generally be evidenced by an award agreement. In addition, subject to the limitations provided in the 2022 Omnibus Plan and in accordance with applicable law, the 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator may accelerate or defer the vesting or payment of awards, cancel or modify outstanding awards, and waive any condition imposed with respect to awards or Shares issued pursuant to awards.

Options

An Option entitles a holder thereof to purchase a prescribed number of treasury Shares at an exercise price set at the time of the grant. The 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator will establish the exercise price at the time each Option is granted, which exercise price must in all cases be the greater of the closing market price of the Shares on: (i) the trading day prior to the date of grant; and (ii) the date of grant, and as otherwise required pursuant to the policies of the any stock exchange on which the Shares are listed (the "Market Price"), unless otherwise permitted by applicable securities laws or the policies of a stock exchange on which the Shares are listed. Subject to any accelerated termination as set forth in the 2022 Omnibus Plan, each Option expires on its respective expiry date, provided such expiry date does not exceed ten years. The 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator will have the authority to determine the vesting terms applicable to grants of Options. Once an Option becomes vested, it shall remain vested and shall be exercisable until expiration or termination of the Option, unless otherwise specified by the 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator or as otherwise set forth in any written employment agreement, award agreement or other written agreement between the Company or a subsidiary of the Company and the participant. The 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator has the right to accelerate the date upon which any Option becomes exercisable. The 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator may provide at the time of granting an Option that the exercise of that Option is subject to restrictions, in addition to those specified in the 2022 Omnibus Plan, such as vesting conditions relating to the attainment of specified performance goals.

Unless otherwise specified by the 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator at the time of granting an Option and set forth in the particular award agreement, an exercise notice must be accompanied by payment of the exercise price. Subject to the policies of any stock exchange on which the Shares are listed, a participant may, in lieu of exercising an Option pursuant to an exercise notice, elect to surrender such Option to the Company (a "Cashless Exercise") in consideration for an amount from the Company equal to (i) the Market Price of the Shares issuable on the exercise of such Option (or portion thereof) as of the date such Option (or portion thereof) is exercised, less (ii) the aggregate exercise price of the Option (or portion thereof) surrendered relating to such Shares (the "In-the-Money Amount") by written notice to the Company indicating the number of Options such participant wishes to exercise using the Cashless Exercise, and such other information that the Company may require. Subject to the provisions of the 2022 Omnibus Plan and the policies of any stock exchange on which the Shares are listed, the Company will satisfy payment of the In-the-Money Amount by delivering to the participant such number of Shares having a fair market value equal to the In-the-Money Amount.

Restricted Share Units

An RSU is a unit equivalent in value to a Share credited by means of a bookkeeping entry in the books of the Company which entitles the holder to receive one Share (or the value thereof) for each RSU after a specified vesting period. The 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator may, from time to time, subject to the provisions of the 2022 Omnibus Plan and such other terms and conditions as the 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator may prescribe, grant RSUs to any participant in respect of a bonus or similar payment in respect of services rendered by the applicable participant in a taxation year (the "RSU Service Year").

The number of RSUs (including fractional RSUs) granted at any particular time under the 2022 Omnibus Plan will be calculated by dividing (a) the amount of any bonus or similar payment that is to be paid in RSUs, as determined by the 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator, by (b) the greater of (i) the Market Price of a Share on the date of grant and (ii) such amount as determined by the 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator in its sole discretion. The 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator shall have the authority to determine any vesting terms applicable to the grant of RSUs, provided that the terms comply with Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, to the extent applicable.

Upon settlement, holders will redeem each vested RSU for the following at the election of such holder but subject to the approval of the 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator: (a) one fully paid and non-assessable Share in respect of each vested RSU, (b) a cash payment or (c) a combination of Shares and cash. Any such cash payments made by the Company shall

Avanti Gold Information Circular


  • 11 -

be calculated by multiplying the number of RSUs to be redeemed for cash by the Market Price per Share as at the settlement date. Subject to the provisions of the 2022 Omnibus Plan and except as otherwise provided in an award agreement, no settlement date for any RSU shall occur, and no Share shall be issued or cash payment shall be made in respect of any RSU any later than the final business day of the third calendar year following the applicable RSU Service Year.

Performance Share Units

A PSU is a unit equivalent in value to a Share credited by means of a bookkeeping entry in the books of the Company, which entitles the holder to receive one Share (or the value thereof) for each PSU after specific performance-based vesting criteria determined by the 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, have been satisfied. The performance goals to be achieved during any performance period, the length of any performance period, the amount of any PSUs granted, the effect of termination of a participant's service and the amount of any payment or transfer to be made pursuant to any PSU will be determined by the 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator and by the other terms and conditions of any PSU, all as set forth in the applicable award agreement. The 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator may, from time to time, subject to the provisions of the 2022 Omnibus Plan and such other terms and conditions as the 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator may prescribe, grant PSUs to any participant in respect of a bonus or similar payment in respect of services rendered by the applicable participant in a taxation year (the "PSU Service Year").

The 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator shall have the authority to determine any vesting terms applicable to the grant of PSUs. Upon settlement, holders will redeem each vested PSU for the following at the election of such holder but subject to the approval of the 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator: (a) one fully paid and non-assessable Share in respect of each vested PSU, (b) a cash payment, or (c) a combination of Shares and cash. Any such cash payments made by the Company to a participant shall be calculated by multiplying the number of PSUs to be redeemed for cash by the Market Price per Share as at the settlement date. Subject to the provisions of the 2022 Omnibus Plan and except as otherwise provided in an award agreement, no settlement date for any PSU shall occur, and no Share shall be issued or cash payment shall be made in respect of any PSU any later than the final business day of the third calendar year following the applicable PSU Service Year.

Deferred Share Units

A DSU is a unit equivalent in value to a Share credited by means of a bookkeeping entry in the books of the Company which entitles the holder to receive one Share (or, at the election of the holder and subject to the approval of the 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator, the cash value thereof) for each DSU on a future date. The Board may fix from time to time a portion of the total compensation (including annual retainer) paid by the Company to a director in a calendar year for service on the Board (the "Director Fees") that are to be payable in the form of DSUs. In addition, each director is given, subject to the provisions of the 2022 Omnibus Plan, the right to elect to receive a portion of the cash Director Fees owing to them in the form of DSUs.

Except as otherwise determined by the 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator or as set forth in the particular award agreement, DSUs shall vest immediately upon grant. The number of DSUs (including fractional DSUs) granted at any particular time will be calculated by dividing (a) the amount of Director Fees that are to be paid in DSUs, as determined by the 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator, by (b) the Market Price of a Share on the date of grant. Upon settlement, holders will redeem each vested DSU for: (a) one fully paid and non-assessable Share issued from treasury in respect of each vested DSU, or (b) at the election of the holder and subject to the approval of the 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator, a cash payment on the date of settlement. Any cash payments made under the 2022 Omnibus Plan by the Company to a participant in respect of DSUs to be redeemed for cash shall be calculated by multiplying the number of DSUs to be redeemed for cash by the Market Price per Share as at the settlement date.

Dividend Equivalents

Except as otherwise determined by the 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator or as set forth in the particular award agreement, RSUs, PSUs and DSUs shall be credited with dividend equivalents in the form of additional RSUs, PSUs and DSUs, as applicable, as of each dividend payment date in respect of which normal cash dividends are paid on Shares. Dividend equivalents shall vest in proportion to, and settle in the same manner as, the awards to which they relate. Such dividend equivalents shall be computed by dividing: (a) the amount obtained by multiplying the amount of the dividend declared and paid per Share by the number of RSUs, PSUs and DSUs, as applicable, held by the participant

Avanti Gold Information Circular


on the record date for the payment of such dividend, by (b) the Market Price at the close of the first business day immediately following the dividend record date, with fractions computed to three decimal places.

Black-out Periods

In the event an award expires, at a time when a scheduled blackout is in place or an undisclosed material change or material fact in the affairs of the Company exists, the expiry of such award will be the date that is ten business days after which such scheduled blackout terminates or there is no longer such undisclosed material change or material fact.

Term

While 2022 Omnibus Plan the does not stipulate a specific term for awards granted thereunder, as discussed below, awards may not expire beyond ten years from its date of grant, except where Shareholder approval is received or where an expiry date would have fallen within a blackout period of the Company. All awards must vest and settle in accordance with the provisions of the 2022 Omnibus Plan and any applicable award agreement, which award agreement may include an expiry date for a specific award.

Termination of Employment or Services

The following table describes the impact of certain events upon the participants under the 2022 Omnibus Plan, including termination for cause, resignation, termination without cause, disability, death or retirement, subject, in each case, to the terms of a participant's applicable employment agreement, award agreement or other written agreement:

Any vested Options may be exercised by the participant at any time during the period that terminates on the earlier of: (a) the expiry date of such Option; and (b) the date that is 90 days after the Termination Date. If an Option remains unexercised upon the earlier of (a) or (b), the Option shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled for no consideration upon the termination of such period. In the case of a vested award other than an Option, such award will be settled within 90 days after the Termination Date.
Disability Any award held by the participant that has not vested as of the date of such participant's Termination Date shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled as of the Termination Date. Any vested Option may be exercised by the participant at any time until the expiry date of such Option. Any vested award other than an Option will be settled within 90 days after the Termination Date.

Avanti Gold Information Circular


  • 13 -
Retirement Any (i) outstanding award that vests or becomes exercisable based solely on the participant remaining in the service of the Company or its subsidiary will become 100% vested, and (ii) outstanding award that vests based on the achievement of Performance Goals (as defined in the 2022 Omnibus Plan) that has not previously become vested shall continue to be eligible to vest based upon the actual achievement of such Performance Goals. Any vested Option may be exercised by the participant at any time during the period that terminates on the earlier of: (a) the expiry date of such Option; and (b) the third anniversary of the participant's date of retirement.

In the case of a vested award other than an Option that is described in (ii), such award will be settled at the same time the award would otherwise have been settled had the participant remained in active service with the Company or its subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, following his or her retirement, the participant commences (the “Commencement Date”) employment, consulting or acting as a director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (or in an analogous capacity) or otherwise as a service provider to any person that carries on or proposes to carry on a business competitive with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, any Option or other award held by the participant that has not been exercised or settled as of the Commencement Date shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled as of the Commencement Date.

Change in Control

Unless otherwise determined by the 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator, if, as a result of a Change in Control (as defined below), the Shares will cease trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange, the Company may terminate all of the awards, other than an Option held by a participant that is a resident of Canada for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada), granted under the 2022 Omnibus Plan at the time of and subject to the completion of the Change in Control transaction by paying to each holder at or within a reasonable period of time following completion of such Change in Control transaction an amount for each award equal to the fair market value of the award held by such participant as determined by the 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator, acting reasonably, provided that any vested awards granted to U.S. Taxpayers (as defined in the 2022 Omnibus Plan) will be settled within 90 days of the Change in Control.

Subject to certain exceptions, a "Change in Control" includes (a) any transaction pursuant to which a person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding Shares, (b) the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, (c) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (d) the acquisition of the Company via consolidation, merger, exchange of securities, purchase of assets, amalgamation, statutory arrangement or otherwise, (e) individuals who comprise the Board at the last annual meeting of Shareholders (the "Incumbent Board") cease to constitute at least a majority of the Board, unless the election, or nomination for election by the Shareholders, of any new director was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Incumbent Board, in which case such new director shall be considered as a member of the Incumbent Board, or (f) any other event which the Board determines to constitute a change in control of the Company.

Non-Transferability of Awards

Except as permitted by the 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator and to the extent that certain rights may pass to a beneficiary or legal representative upon death of a participant, by will or as required by law, no assignment or transfer of awards, whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, vests any interest or right in such awards whatsoever in any assignee or transferee and immediately upon any assignment or transfer, or any attempt to make the same, such awards will terminate and be of no further force or effect. To the extent that certain rights to exercise any portion of an outstanding award pass to a beneficiary or legal representative upon the death of a participant, the period in which such award can be exercised by such beneficiary or legal representative shall not exceed one year from the participant's death.

Amendments to the 2022 Omnibus Plan

The 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator may also from time to time, without notice and without approval of the holders of voting Shares, amend, modify, change, suspend or terminate the 2022 Omnibus Plan or any awards granted pursuant thereto as it, in its discretion, determines appropriate, provided that (a) no such amendment, modification, change,

Avanti Gold Information Circular


suspension or termination of the 2022 Omnibus Plan or any award granted pursuant thereto may materially impair any rights of a participant or materially increase any obligations of a participant under the 2022 Omnibus Plan without the consent of such participant, unless the 2022 Omnibus Plan Administrator determines such adjustment is required or desirable in order to comply with any applicable securities laws or stock exchange requirements, and (b) any amendment that would cause an award held by a U.S. Taxpayer to be subject to the income inclusion under Section 409A of the United States Internal Revenue Code, as amended, shall be null and void ab initio.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

A. GENERAL

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

The Board believes that good corporate governance improves corporate performance and benefits all Shareholders. The Canadian Securities Administrators (the "CSA") have adopted National Policy 58-201 - Corporate Governance Guidelines, which provides non-prescriptive guidelines on corporate governance practices for reporting issuers such as the Company. In addition, the CSA have implemented NI 58-101, which prescribes certain disclosure by the Company of its corporate governance practices. This section sets out the Company's approach to corporate governance and addresses the Company's compliance with NI 58-101.

B. BOARD MANDATE

The Board has adopted the Board Mandate, a copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule "B". Pursuant to the Board Mandate, the role of the Board is to oversee the business of the Company, to select and provide guidance to the Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other officers, set the strategic direction, and to ensure corporate continuity. The Board fulfills its roles directly, through its committees, and via instructions to management. At all times, the Board acts with a view towards the best interests of the Company and of its Shareholders.

C. COMPENSATION, GOVERNANCE AND NOMINATIONS COMMITTEE

The directors of the Company established a Compensation, Corporate Governance and Nominations Committee to assist the directors in fulfilling their oversight responsibilities with respect to, among other things: (a) developing governance guidelines and principles for the Company; (b) identifying individuals qualified to be nominated as directors of the Company; (c) assist the Board in discharging its responsibilities relating to compensation of the Company's executive officers; (d) evaluating the structure and composition of the committees of the directors of the Company; and (e) evaluating the performance and effectiveness of the Board.

The Compensation, Governance and Nominations Committee is comprised of Sir Samuel Jonah (Chair), Jonathan Hill, Martin Pawlitscheck, David Renner and Terry Holohan. For the purposes of NI 58-101, all the directors noted are independent with the exception of Sir Samuel Jonah.

The Compensation, Corporate Governance and Nominations Committee is mandated to conduct the following with respect to corporate governance:

Avanti Gold Information Circular


Avanti Gold Information Circular

(c) keep abreast of best corporate governance practices and make recommendations to the Board on the need, where appropriate, for Board participation in continuing education programmes;

(e) develop and recommend to the Board criteria for the selection of candidates to serve on the Board;

(f) identify and evaluate nominees and recommend to the Board such nominees for election to the Board at the annual general meeting of Shareholders;

(g) assist the Board in its obligation to identify a successor to the Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer of the Company;

(h) consider the mandates of the Board committees, selection, composition and rotation of committee members and the chair and make recommendations to the Board with respect to same;

(i) develop and facilitate an orientation programme for new members of the Board to ensure their understanding of the Company and the business environment and market in which the Company operates. Such programme will include the provision of background material, meetings with senior management and visits to the Company's facilities and will seek to provide the new director with:

(i) an overview of the Company (ownership, powers, rules, regulations and company law, Board structure, membership and processes);

(ii) an overview of the business (business processes, corporate strategies, organisation, management and people);

(iii) an overview of the financials (annual and quarterly accounts, directors' reports, key financial indicators and financial performance of the business); and

(iv) an understanding of what is expected from the director on appointment (discussions with the chair with regards to the role, why nominated, potential contributions, particular knowledge and the like).

D. TECHNICAL AND OPERATIONS COMMITTEE

The Company has established a Technical and Operations Committee ("Operation Committee") primarily to provide strategic oversight, guidance, and recommendations on the overall operations of the business, without managing day-to-day activities. Its main purpose is to bridge the gap between high-level strategy set by the Board and the on-the-ground execution, ensuring operational efficiency and alignment with long-term goals.

Key Purposes

  • Strategic Oversight: The Operation Committee oversees operations from a distance, allowing it to compare performance across different business segments, identify areas for improvement, and formulate long-term policy decisions.

  • Advisory Role: It provides expert advice and recommendations to the CEO and the Board on operational matters, including financial performance, technology, safety protocols, and equipment needs.


  • Implementation & Execution: While it does not direct daily tasks, it is responsible for ensuring that strategic decisions made by the Board are effectively planned, monitored, and implemented by management and operations teams.
  • Risk Management: The committee reviews and monitors operational risks, such as supply chain disruptions, business continuity issues, and compliance with regulations (e.g., environmental, safety), and develops mitigation strategies.
  • Coordination and Communication: It helps coordinate multidisciplinary teams, breaking down departmental silos and facilitating communication across different functional areas to ensure a unified approach to achieving objectives.
  • Performance Evaluation: Committee members analyze reports, key performance indicators (KPIs), and research materials from senior management to evaluate performance against targets and recommend adjustments.
  • Periodically assess the capability of the Company, either through management, other Company personnel, or contractors, to oversee and address technical matters arising from the Company's exploration, development, permitting, construction and operational activities;

Members of the Technical and Operations Committee are David Renner (Chair), Martin Pawlitscheck, Terry Holohan and Mohamed Cisse.

E. POSITION DESCRIPTIONS

The Board has not developed a written position description for the CEO, the Chairman of the Board and the chairs of each of the committees of the Board. Given the size of the Company, the Board does not feel that it is necessary at this time to formalize such position descriptions. Guidance is generally provided through reference to industry norms, past practice and relying upon the provisions of the constating documents of the Company and the statutory and common law. The CEO is principally responsible for overseeing the operations and affairs of the Company, including strategic organizational and financial management, business development, regulatory compliance, and clinical development. The Chairman of the Board is principally responsible for overseeing the operations and affairs of the Board. With respect to the chairs of each of the committees of the Board, it is currently the Board's view that the general mandates of committees on which such directors may sit are sufficient to delineate the role and responsibilities of the chair of each committee. The chair of each Board committee is required to ensure the committee meets regularly and performs the duties as set forth in the committee mandate, and reports to the Board on the activities of the committee.

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Company currently does not have a formal orientation or continuing education program. The Compensation, Governance and Nominations Committee with the assistance of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer are responsible for providing an orientation and education program for new directors of the Company. When a person joins the Board, he or she will be given the opportunity to become familiar with the Company by meeting with the other directors of the Company and with the officers and representatives of the Company. As each director has a different skill set and professional background, orientation and training activities will be tailored to the particular needs and experience of the individual director.

Ethical Business Conduct

The directors of the Company have established a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the "Ethics Code"), a copy of which may be requested from the Company. The Ethics Code provides a set of ethical standards by which each director, officer, employee, consultant and contractor of the Company is expected to conduct their business and, for each officer and employee of the Company, constitutes conditions of employment and, for each consultant and contractor,

Avanti Gold Information Circular


  • 27 -

constitutes conditions of providing services to the Company. The Ethics Code is intended to give an overview of the Company's expectations for its directors, officers, employees, consultants and contractors and is supplemented by any other applicable policies adopted by the Company.

The directors of the Company expect all directors, officers and employees of the Company to act honestly and ethically at all times and to adhere to the Ethics Code. The directors of the Company may permit a waiver of the Ethics Code for any director or executive officer of the Company. However, any such waiver will be promptly disclosed to the extent required by applicable law or stock exchange rules and regulations.

The Ethics Code sets out that all directors, officers, employees, contractors and consultants of the Company, in discharging their duties, must comply with: the laws, rules and regulations of the jurisdiction in which the Company is conducting business activities; the Ethics Code; and all corporate policies, including, without limitation, the Corporate Disclosure Policy.

All directors, officers, employees, contractors and consultants are required to provide an annual certification to the Company confirming compliance with all laws, rules and regulations of the location in which the Company is performing business activities, as well as compliance with all applicable policies of the Company. The Chief Executive Officer of the Company is responsible for ensuring that all annual certifications are obtained and for providing confirmation to the directors of the Company that such certifications have been obtained and summarizing the results thereof.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Company is responsible for setting the ethical tone for the Company and its management, including (i) overseeing the administration and implementation of, and compliance with, the Company's policies and procedures; (ii) taking all reasonable steps to satisfy the directors of the Company as to the integrity of the Chief Executive Officer and other senior officers of the Company; (iii) taking all reasonable steps to satisfy the directors of the Company that the Chief Executive Officer and other senior officers of the Company create a culture of integrity throughout the organization; and (iv) fostering ethical and responsible decision making by management.

Compensation

See "Statement of Executive Compensation" above for information regarding compensation made to certain executives and to directors of the Company.

Assessments

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

Director Term Limits

The Company has not adopted term limits for directors on the Board. It is the Company's view that the membership of its Board, including the retirement of directors, is best assessed by the Board in consideration of a variety of factors, including individual director performance, the existing mix of skills and experience of the members of the Board. The Company believes that the implementation of term limits could require directors to retire, even when doing so would not be in the best interests of the Company, taking into account the overall composition of the Board and a particular director's skills and experience.

Gender Diversity

The Board of directors has not adopted a written policy relating to the gender diversity of its directors and executive officers. The Company values diversity of view, experience, skillset, gender and ethnicity as it believes this results in better leadership and decision making for its business. The Company does not have specific targets respecting representation on its Board or in executive officer positions based on any particular personal experience or characteristic, including gender. Instead, the Company focuses on choosing the most appropriate candidate for the position, having regard to the experience, skillset, gender, ethnicity and other personal characteristics of both the candidate and, as applicable, the Board and executive team as a whole. In conducting its search processes for Board and executive officer appointments, the Company will review the extent to which its current appointees reflect gender diversity, and in

Avanti Gold Information Circular


  • 28 -

assessing the appropriateness of candidates for those appointments, will consider the desirability of an increased level of representation of females. The Company currently has no females serving on its Board or serving as an officer but is it open to and seeking to fill the positions should a candidate be made available.

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

Except as disclosed elsewhere in this Information Circular, no director or executive officer of the Company who was a director or executive officer since the beginning of the Company's last financial year, no proposed nominee for election as a director of the Company, nor any associate or affiliates of any such directors, officers or nominees, has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of Shares or other securities in the Company or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting, other than the election of directors.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Shareholders may contact the Company at its office by mail at Suite 1100-1111 Melville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 3V6, to request copies of the Company's financial statements and related Management's Discussion and Analysis (the "MD&A").

Financial information is provided in the Company's audited financial statements and MD&A for the most recently completed financial year and in the financial statements and MD&A for subsequent financial periods, which are available on SEDAR+.
