INFORMATION CIRCULAR
FOR THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON OCTOBER 16, 2025
This information is given as of September 10, 2025 unless otherwise noted.
PERSONS MAKING THE SOLICITATION
This Information Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of BLOCKMINT TECHNOLOGIES INC. (the "Company") for use at the Annual General Meeting (the "Meeting") of the shareholders of the Company, to be held on Thursday, October 16, 2025, at the time and location and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting and at any adjournment thereof.
Except as noted below, the Company has distributed or made available for distribution, copies of the Notice, the Information Circular and form of proxy or voting instruction form ("VIF") (if applicable) (the "Meeting Materials") to clearing agencies, securities dealers, banks and trust companies or their nominees (collectively, the "Intermediaries") for distribution to Beneficial Shareholders (as defined below) whose common shares are held by or in custody of such Intermediaries. Such Intermediaries are required to forward such documents to Beneficial Shareholders unless a Beneficial Shareholder has waived the right to receive them. The Company is sending proxy-related materials directly to NOBOs (as defined below), through the services of its transfer agent and registrar, Computershare Investor Services Inc. The solicitation of proxies from Beneficial Shareholders will be carried out by the Intermediaries or by the Company if the names and addresses of the Beneficial Shareholders are provided by Intermediaries. The Company will pay the permitted fees and costs of Intermediaries incurred in connection with the distribution of the Meeting Materials. The Company is not relying on the notice-and-access provisions of securities laws for delivery of the Meeting Materials to registered shareholders or Beneficial Shareholders.
APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES
The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy are directors and/or officers of the Company. A shareholder has the right to appoint a person (who need not be a shareholder) to attend and act for such shareholder and on his, her or its behalf at the Meeting other than the persons designated in the enclosed form of proxy. Such right may be exercised by inserting in the blank space provided for that purpose the name of the desired person or by completing another proper form of proxy and, in either case, delivering the completed and executed proxy to the Company's transfer agent and registrar, Computershare Investor Services Inc., Proxy Department, by fax within North America at 1-888-453-0330, or by mail to the 14th Floor, 320 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 4A6, or by hand delivery at 3rd Floor, 510 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3B9, not later than forty-eight (48) hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time fixed for the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, or delivering it to the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof prior to the time of voting. A proxy must be executed by the registered shareholder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing or, if the shareholder is a corporation, by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized.
2
Proxies given by shareholders for use at the Meeting may be revoked prior to their use:
(a) by depositing an instrument in writing executed by the shareholder or by such shareholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing or, if the shareholder is a corporation, by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized indicating the capacity under which such officer or attorney is signing:
(i) at the registered office, Suite 2900 – 733 Seymour Street, Vancouver, BC, V6B 0S6, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or if adjourned, any reconvening thereof; or
(ii) with the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof; or
(b) in any other manner permitted by law.
EXERCISE OF DISCRETION BY PROXIES
The persons named in the accompanying form of proxy will vote the common shares in respect of which they are appointed in accordance with the direction of the shareholders appointing them. The common shares represented by the 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 on, the common shares will be voted accordingly. In the absence of such direction, where the management nominees are appointed as proxyholder, such common shares will be voted in favour of the passing of the matters set out in the Notice. The form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. At the time of the printing of this Information Circular, the management of the Company knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting other than the matters referred to in the Notice. However, if any other matters which at present are not known to the management of the Company should properly come before the Meeting, the proxy will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the named proxies.
ADVICE TO BENEFICIAL SHAREHOLDERS
Shareholders should note that only proxies deposited by shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of common shares, or non-objecting beneficial owners (“NOBOs”) whose names have been provided to the Company’s registrar and transfer agent, can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. The information set forth in this section is therefore of significant importance to a substantial number of shareholders who do not hold their common shares in their own name (referred to in this section as “Beneficial Shareholders”). If common shares are listed in an account statement provided to a shareholder by an Intermediary, then in almost all cases those common shares will not be registered in such shareholder’s name on the records of the Company. Such common shares will more likely be registered under the name of the shareholder’s Intermediary or an agent of that Intermediary. In Canada, the vast majority of such common shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co., as nominee for CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., which acts as a depository for many Canadian Intermediaries. Common shares held by Intermediaries or their nominees can only be voted for or against resolutions upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, Intermediaries are prohibited from voting common shares for their clients.
Applicable regulatory policy requires Intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholders’ meetings. Every Intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their common shares are voted at the Meeting. Often the form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its Intermediary is identical to the form of proxy provided by the Company to the Intermediaries. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the Intermediary how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The majority of Intermediaries now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”). Broadridge typically mails the VIFs or proxy forms to the Beneficial Shareholders and asks the Beneficial Shareholders to return the VIFs or proxy forms to Broadridge. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of common shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder receiving a proxy or VIF from Broadridge cannot use that proxy to vote common shares directly at the Meeting - the proxy must be returned to Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the common shares voted.
3
Although Beneficial Shareholders may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting common shares registered in the name of their Intermediary, a Beneficial Shareholder may attend the Meeting as proxyholder for the Intermediary and vote their common shares in that capacity.
Should a NOBO wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person, the NOBO must insert his or her name (or the name of the person that the NOBO wants to attend and vote on the NOBO’s behalf) in the space provided on the VIF and return it to the Company or its transfer agent. If the Company receives a written request that the NOBO or its nominee be appointed as proxyholder, if management is holding a proxy with respect to common shares beneficially owned by such NOBO, the Company will arrange, without expense to the NOBO, to appoint the NOBO or its nominee as proxyholder in respect of those common shares. Under NI 54-101, unless corporate law does not allow it, if the NOBO or its nominee is appointed as proxyholder by the Company in this manner, the NOBO or its nominee, as applicable, must be given the authority to attend, vote and otherwise act for and on behalf of management in respect of all matters that come before the meeting and any adjournment or postponement of the meeting. If the Company receives such instructions at least one business day before the deadline for submission of proxies, it is required to deposit the proxy within that deadline, in order to appoint the NOBO or its nominee as proxyholder. If a NOBO requests that the NOBO or its nominee be appointed as proxyholder, the NOBO or its appointed nominee, as applicable, will need to attend the meeting in person in order for the NOBO’s vote to be counted.
NOBOs that wish to change their vote must in sufficient time in advance of the Meeting contact their Intermediary to arrange to change their vote. NOBOs should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediaries, including those regarding when and where to complete the VIFs that are to be returned to their Intermediaries.
Should an objecting beneficial owner (an “OBO”) wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person, the OBO should insert his or her name (or the name of the person the OBO wants to attend and vote on the OBO’s behalf) in the space provided for that purpose on the request for voting instructions form and return it to the OBO’s Intermediary or send the Intermediary another written request that the OBO or its nominee be appointed as proxyholder. The Intermediary is required under NI 54-101 to arrange, without expense to the OBO, to appoint the OBO or its nominee as proxyholder in respect of the OBO’s common shares. Under NI 54-101, unless corporate law does not allow it, if the Intermediary makes an appointment in this manner, the OBO or its nominee, as applicable, must be given authority to attend, vote and otherwise act for and on behalf of the Intermediary (who is the registered shareholder) in respect of all matters that come before the meeting and any adjournment or postponement of the meeting. An Intermediary who receives such instructions at least one business day before the deadline for submission of proxies is required to deposit the proxy within that deadline, in order to appoint the OBO or its nominee as proxyholder. If an OBO requests that an Intermediary appoint the OBO or its nominee as proxyholder, the OBO or its appointed nominee, as applicable, will need to attend the meeting in person in order for the OBO’s vote to be counted.
OBOs should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when and where the completed request for voting instructions is to be delivered. Only registered shareholders have the right to revoke a proxy. OBOs who wish to change their vote must in sufficient time in advance of the Meeting, arrange for their respective Intermediaries to change their vote and if necessary revoke their proxy in accordance with the revocation procedures set out above.
Shareholders with questions respecting the voting of shares held through an Intermediary should contact that Intermediary for assistance.
All references to shareholders in this Information Circular and the accompanying form of proxy and Notice are to shareholders of record unless specifically stated otherwise.

NOTE TO NON-OBJECTING BENEFICIAL OWNERS
The Meeting Materials are being sent to both registered shareholders, NOBOs and OBOs. If you are a NOBO or OBO, and the Company or its agent has sent the Meeting Materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of common shares, have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary holding on your behalf. By choosing to send the Meeting Materials to you directly, the Company (and not the Intermediary holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering the Meeting Materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the request for voting instructions.
VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF
The authorized capital of the Company consists of an unlimited number of common shares without par value.
The Company has fixed the close of business on September 10, 2025 as the record date (the "Record Date") for the purposes of determining shareholders entitled to receive the Notice and vote at the Meeting. As at the Record Date, 48,242,605 common shares were issued and outstanding. At a general meeting of the Company, on a show of hands, every shareholder present in person shall have one vote and, on a poll, every shareholder shall have one vote for each common share of which he, she or it is the holder. The Company has no other classes of voting securities.
In accordance with the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), the Company will prepare a list of the holders of common shares on the Record Date. Each holder of common shares named on the list will be entitled to vote the common shares shown opposite his, her or its name on the list at the Meeting.
To the knowledge of the directors and senior officers of the Company, no person or company beneficially owns, directly or indirectly or exercises control or direction over, shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all outstanding common shares of the Company.
The above information was provided by management of the Company and the Company's registrar and transfer agent as of the Record Date.
QUORUM AND VOTES NECESSARY TO PASS RESOLUTIONS
Under the Company's Articles, the quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of shareholders is two shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting whether in person or by proxy, who hold in the aggregate, at least 5% of the issued shares entitled to be voted at the Meeting. A simple majority of the votes of those shareholders who are present and vote either in person or by proxy at the Meeting is required in order to pass an ordinary resolution. A majority of two-thirds of the votes of those shareholders who are present and vote either in person or by proxy at the Meeting is required to pass a special resolution. There are no special resolutions proposed at this Meeting.
INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this Information Circular, none of the current directors or executive officers, no proposed nominee for election as a director, none of the persons who have been directors or executive officers since the commencement of the last completed financial year and no associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing persons has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting, save and except for those matters pertaining to the election of directors.

Oversight and Description of Director and NEO Compensation
Compensation of NEOs
The Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) does not presently have a Compensation Committee. Compensation of NEOs is reviewed annually and determined by the Board. The level of compensation for NEOs is determined after consideration of various relevant factors, including the expected nature and quantity of duties and responsibilities, past performance, comparison with compensation paid by other issuers of comparable size and nature, and the availability of financial resources. In the Board’s view, there is, and has been, no need for the Company to design or implement a formal compensation program for NEOs.
Elements of NEO Compensation
Base salary and consulting fee levels will reflect the fixed component of pay that will compensate NEOs for fulfilling their roles and responsibilities and assist in the attraction and retention of qualified executives. Base salaries will be reviewed annually to ensure they reflect each respective executive’s performance and experience in fulfilling his or her role and to ensure executive retention. Salary and consulting fee levels will be reviewed and revised as the Company grows. Stock options granted under the Company’s plan may also be used as a form of compensation.
Compensation of Directors
The Company compensates its independent directors, namely Jeffrey Lightfoot, David Patterson and Colin Watt, C$3,000 per quarter for their services as independent directors and audit committee participation. The Company also reimburses directors for their out-of-pocket costs incurred in attending Board or Board committee meetings.
The Company will also grant incentive stock options from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Stock Option Plan and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”). The purpose of granting such options is to assist the Company in compensating, attracting, retaining and motivating the directors of the Company and to closely align the personal interests of such persons to those of the shareholders.
NEOs who also act as directors of the Company do not receive any additional compensation for services rendered in such capacity, other than as paid by the Company to such NEOs in their capacity as executive officers.
Stock Options
Performance-based incentives will be granted by way of stock options. The awards are intended to align executive interests with those of shareholders by tying compensation to share performance and to assist in retention through vesting provisions.
6
In determining the number of stock options to be granted to the executive officers and directors, the Board will take into account the number of stock options, if any, previously granted to each executive officer and director and the exercise price of any outstanding options to ensure that such grants are in accordance with the policies of the TSXV.
The number of stock options granted to officers and directors will be dependent on each NEO’s and director’s level of responsibility, authority and importance to the Company and to the degree to which such officer’s or director’s long term contribution to the Company will be key to its long term success.
In monitoring or adjusting the option allotments, the Board will take into account its own observations on individual performance (where possible), its assessment of individual contribution to shareholder value and previous option grants. The scale of options is generally commensurate to the appropriate level of base compensation for each level of responsibility. The Board will make these determinations subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the stock option plan.
Director and Named Executive Officer Compensation
The following table (presented in accordance with Form 51-102F6V – Statement of Executive Compensation – Venture Issuers) sets out all annual and long-term compensation for services paid to or earned by each NEO and director for the financial years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, excluding compensation securities.

Exercise of Compensation Securities by Directors and NEOs

Stock Option Plans and Other Incentive Plans
The Company has in place a 20% fixed stock option plan (the “Plan”). Under the terms of the Plan, the Board may from time to time, in its discretion, and in accordance with TSXV requirements, grant to the Company’s directors, officers, employees and consultants, non-transferable options to purchase common shares of the Company, provided that the number of shares reserved for issuance will not exceed 2,203,814 common shares. Previously this included all common shares which may be issued pursuant to 6,650,000 performance warrants issued to Nelson Ijih (the Company’s former CEO and Chief Technology Officer) and Daniel Beck (then the Company’s former Chief Operating Officer) as to 3,325,000 performance warrants each, however those performance warrants expired unexercised on February 1, 2023.
Material Terms of the Stock Option Plan
The Plan provides that the terms of the options and the option price may be fixed by the Board subject to the price restrictions and other requirements of the TSXV. The Plan also provides that no option may be granted to any person except upon the recommendation of the Board, and only directors, officers, employees, consultants and other key personnel of the Company or any subsidiary may receive options.
The Plan is subject to the additional following restrictions:
(a) The term of any options granted under the Plan will be fixed by the board of directors at the time such options are granted, provided that options will not be permitted to exceed a term of ten years, with the exception of any options extended due to a Blackout Period (as defined in the Plan).
(b) The board of directors may impose vesting periods on any options granted. In accordance with TSXV policies, stock options granted to employees or consultants performing investor relations services must vest in stages over a minimum of 12 months with no more than one-quarter of the stock options vesting in any three month period.
(c) All options will be non-assignable and non-transferable (except upon the death of an option holder, in which case any outstanding options may be exercised by the option holder’s successors).
(d) If an option expires or terminates for any reason without having been exercised in full, the un-purchased Shares subject thereto shall again be available for the purposes of the Plan.
(e) The Company may offer an optionee a ‘net exercise right’, whereby in lieu exercising an Option, to receive such number of shares which is obtained by (i) subtracting the option exercise price per share from the average price per share immediately prior to the exercise, (ii) multiplying the difference by the number of optioned shares, and (iii) dividing by the average price. The ‘net exercise right’ is not available to optionees who undertake investor relations activities.
(f) The Company may offer an optionee a ‘cashless exercise right’, whereby in lieu of making a cash payment of the full purchase price of the optioned shares, the Company will arrange for a brokerage firm to loan money to the optionee to purchase the option shares, then sell a sufficient number of the shares to cover the exercise price of the options in order to repay the loan made to the optionee, and deliver the balance of the shares to the optionee. The ‘cashless exercise right’ is not available to optionees who undertake investor relations activities.
(g) The board of directors shall not grant options to any one person in a 12 month period which will, when exercised, exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Company (calculated at the date such options are granted); or to any one consultant or to those persons employed by the Company who perform investor relations services which will, when exercised, exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Company, calculated at the date such options are granted. Options granted to Eligible Charitable
8
Organizations (as that term is defined in the Plan) shall not at any time exceed 1% of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Company, calculated at the date such options are granted.
(h) If the option holder ceases to be a director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company (other than by reason of death, disability or termination for just cause), then the option granted shall expire on no later than the 90th day following the date that the option holder ceases to be a director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Plan. If the option holder’s position as a director, officer, employee or consultant is terminated for just cause, then the option granted shall expire the date of termination for just cause.
(i) Disinterested shareholder approval must be obtained for any material amendment to the Plan, in accordance with TSXV Policies, including any (i) increase in the number of Options which may be granted under the Plan, (ii) any decrease in the exercise price of any options, (iii) any extension of the term of any Options held by Insiders.
(j) Options will be reclassified in the event of any consolidation, subdivision, conversion or exchange of the Company’s common shares.
A four month hold period (commencing on the date the stock options are granted) is required for options granted to insiders of the Company or granted at any discount to the Market Price (as defined in TSXV Policy 1.1). Notice of options granted under the Plan must be given to the TSXV at the end of each calendar month in which stock options are granted. In accordance with TSXV Policy 4.4, no annual approval of a fixed Plan is required by the Company’s shareholders.
As at the date of this Information Circular, the Company has outstanding under the Plan options to purchase an aggregate of 1,250,000 common shares.

AUDIT COMMITTEE
Pursuant to the provisions of section 224 of the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia, and the policies of the TSXV, the Company is required to have an Audit Committee comprised of at least three directors, the majority of which must not be officers or employees of the Company.
The Company must also, pursuant to the provisions of National Instrument 52-110 Audit Committees ("NI 52-110"), have a written charter, which sets out the duties and responsibilities of its audit committee. In providing the following disclosure, the Company is relying on the exemption provided under NI 52-110, which allows for the short form disclosure of the audit committee procedures of venture issuers.
Audit Committee’s Charter
The full text of the Company’s Audit Committee Charter is disclosed at Schedule “A” to this Information Circular.

In addition, each of the Company’s Audit Committee members has been a director or officer of other Canadian public companies and as a director has been responsible for approving financial statements. See “Directorships” and “Election of Directors” below.
Audit Committee Oversight

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Corporate governance relates to the activities of the Board, the members of which are elected by and are accountable to the shareholders, and takes into account the role of the individual members of management who are appointed by the Board and who are charged with the day-to-day management of the Company. National Policy 58-201 Corporate Governance Guidelines establishes corporate governance guidelines which apply to all public companies. These guidelines are not intended to be prescriptive but to be used by issuers in developing their own corporate governance practices. The Board is committed to sound corporate governance practices, which are both in the interest of its shareholders and contribute to effective and efficient decision making.
Pursuant to National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices ("NI 58-101") the Company is required to disclose its corporate governance practices, as summarized below. The Board will continue to monitor such practices on an ongoing basis and when necessary, implement such additional practices as it deems appropriate.
Board of Directors
The Board is currently composed of four directors, Daniel Beck, Jeffrey Lightfoot, David Patterson and Colin Watt, all of whom will be standing for re-election as directors at the Meeting.
NI 58-101 suggests that the board of directors of a public company should be constituted with a majority of individuals who qualify as "independent" directors. An "independent" director is a director who is independent of management and is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with the director's ability to act with a view to the best interests of the Company, other than interests and relationships arising from shareholding. In addition, where a company has a significant shareholder, NI 58-101 suggests that the board of directors should include a number of directors who do not have interests in either the company or the significant shareholder. All of the current members of the Board are considered "independent" within the meaning of NI 52-110, except for Daniel Beck. Mr. Beck is not considered to be independent as he is the CEO of the Company, and therefore a member of management. The independent directors will exercise their responsibility for independent oversight of management.
Board consideration and approval is required for all material contracts, business transactions and all debt and equity financing proposals. The Board delegates to management, through the CEO, responsibility for meeting defined corporate objectives, evaluating new business opportunities and complying with applicable regulatory requirements. The Board also looks to management to furnish recommendations respecting corporate objectives.
The directors believe that, at this early stage of the Company's development, the current composition of the Board adequately facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over management. The Board anticipates that as the Company matures as a business enterprise, it will identify additional qualified candidates that have experience relevant to the Company's needs, who are independent of management applying the guidelines contained in applicable legislation.
Each member of the Board understands that he is entitled, at the cost of the Company, to seek the advice of an independent expert if he reasonably considers it warranted under the circumstances. No director found it necessary to do so during the financial year ended December 31, 2024.

Directorships
Certain of the Company’s directors are also directors of other reporting companies, as follows:
| Director | Other Reporting Issuer(s) | Exchange |
|---|---|---|
| Colin Watt | Northern Silicon International Inc. | Unlisted |
| David Patterson | Northern Silicon International Inc. | |
| Quebec Nickel Corp. | Unlisted | |
| Canadian Securities Exchange | ||
| Jeffrey Lightfoot | Northern Silicon International Inc. | Unlisted |
Orientation and Continuing Education
New directors are briefed on the Company’s overall strategic plans, short, medium and long term corporate objectives, financials status, general business risks and mitigation strategies, and existing company policies. There is no formal orientation for new members of the Board. This is considered to be appropriate, given the Company’s size and current level of operations, the ongoing interaction amongst the directors and the low director turn-over. However, if the growth of the Company’s operations warrants it, it is possible that a formal orientation process would be implemented.
The skills and knowledge of the Board as a whole is such that no formal continuing education process is currently deemed required. The Board is comprised of individuals with varying backgrounds, who have, both collectively and individually, extensive experience in running and managing public companies. Board members are encouraged to communicate with management and auditors to keep themselves current with industry trends and developments and changes in legislation, with management’s assistance. The directors are advised that, if a director believes that it would be appropriate to attend any continuing education event for corporate directors, the Company will pay for the cost thereof. Board members have full access to the Company’s records. Reference is made to the table under the heading “Election of Directors” for a description of the current principal occupations of the members of the Board.
Ethical Business Conduct
The Board has not adopted a written Code of Ethical Conduct for its directors, officers and employees at this time. The Board monitors the ethical conduct of the Company and ensures that it complies with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, such as those of relevant securities commissions and stock exchanges. The Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by governing corporate legislation and the common law, as well as the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on the individual director’s participation in decisions of the Board in which the director has an interest, have been sufficient to ensure that the Board operates in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
In addition, as some of the directors of the Company may also serve as directors and officers of other companies engaged in similar business activities, the Board must comply with the conflict of interest provisions of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act, as well as the relevant securities regulatory instruments, in order to ensure that directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in respect of which a director or officer has a material interest. Any interested director would be required to declare the nature and extent of his interest and would not be entitled to vote at meetings of directors which evoke any such conflict.
As the Company grows in size and scope, the Board anticipates that it will formulate and implement a formal Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.
Nomination of Directors
The Board determines new nominees to the Board, although a formal process has not been adopted. The nominees are generally the result of recruitment efforts by the Board members, including both formal and informal discussions among Board members. The Board monitors but does not formally assess the performance of individual Board members or committee members or their contributions. The Company conducts the due diligence, reference and
13
background checks on any suitable candidate. New nominees must have a track record in general business management, special expertise in an area of strategic interest to the Company, the ability to devote the time required and a willingness to serve.
Other Board Committees
At the present time, the only standing committee is the Audit Committee. The written charter of the Audit Committee, as required by National Instrument 52-110, is contained in Schedule “A” to this Circular. As the Company grows, and its operations and management structure becomes more complex, the Board expects it will constitute formal standing committees, such as a Corporate Governance Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating Committee, and will ensure that such committees are governed by written charters and are composed of at least a majority of independent directors.
Assessments
Neither the Company nor the Board has determined formal means or methods to regularly assess the Board, its committees or the individual directors with respect to their effectiveness and contributions. Effectiveness is subjectively measured by comparing actual corporate results with stated objectives. The contributions of an individual director is informally monitored by the other Board members, having in mind the business strengths of the individual and the purpose of originally nominating the individual to the Board.
MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS
Management functions of the Company are generally performed by directors and senior officers of the Company and not, to any substantial degree, by any other person to whom the Company has contracted.
PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
A. Financial Statements
The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the report of the auditor, and related management discussion and analysis (together, the “financial statements”) will be placed before the Meeting for discussion.

B. Election of Directors
Although Management is only nominating four individuals to stand for election, the names of further nominees for directors may come from the floor at the Meeting.
