The terms of the Predecessor Plan authorize the Board to grant stock options on the following terms:

  1. The exercise price under each option shall be not less than the Market Price (as defined below) on the date on which an option is granted (the “Grant Date”). The expiry date for each option shall be set by the Board at the time of issue of the option and shall not be more than five years after the Grant Date. Options shall not be assignable (or transferable) by the optionee.

  2. The “Market Price” of common shares at any Grant Date means the closing price per common share on the TSX Venture Exchange (“Exchange” or “TSXV”) for the last day common shares were traded prior to the Grant Date, provided such price is fixed in accordance with and subject to the policies of the Exchange.

  3. The number of common shares which may be reserved for issuance under the Plan and under all the Company’s other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements to any one optionee within a one year period shall not exceed 5% of the outstanding issue of common shares.

If the optionee dies, vested and unexercised options may be exercised up to the earlier of 365 days from the date of the optionee’s death and the expiry date of the options. If the optionee is terminated for cause, the optionee’s options shall be cancelled as of the date of termination. If the optionee retires, resigns or is terminated without cause, the vested and unexercised options shall be exercisable up to the earlier of 90 days from the date of retirement, resignation or termination and the expiry date of the options. For greater certainty, options that have not vested at the time of death, termination, retirement or resignation will not vest or become exercisable and will be cancelled.

  7. On the occurrence of a takeover bid, all options will become vested and the optionee will be permitted to exercise such options. The Board may, in its discretion, accelerate the expiry date of the options.


Summary of the Omnibus Plan

The Company proposes the adoption of the 10% "rolling" omnibus equity incentive plan (the "Omnibus Plan"), which will be effective upon the Company receiving disinterested shareholder and Exchange approval thereof, pursuant to which the Company is able to issue cash and share-based incentives to eligible participants. If approved by shareholders and the Exchange, the Omnibus Plan will replace the Predecessor Plan of the Company. Subject to compliance with the policies of the Exchange, all outstanding awards granted under the Predecessor Plan shall continue to be outstanding and remain in force in accordance with their existing terms and the Predecessor Plan. For more information and a description of the Omnibus Plan, see "Approval of Omnibus Plan".

A copy of the Omnibus Plan is attached hereto as Schedule "B".

Other Compensation Matters

The Board as a whole, in consultation with the Company's Compensation and Human Resources Committee, determines the level of compensation in respect of the Company's senior executives. There are no pension plan benefits in place for the Named Executive Officers and none of the Named Executive Officers, senior officers or directors of the Company is indebted to the Company.

The Company entered into an employment agreement with André C. Tessier on June 19, 2019 and modified on August 22, 2023.

Upon termination without "cause" (as these terms are defined in such agreements), the Company shall pay in cash, accrued compensation, to André C. Tessier plus twelve (12) months' pay based at the date of termination. André C. Tessier will continue to be entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans and programs, if any, in which he was participating at on the date of termination of employment, if and as permitted thereunder until the earlier of (i) a twelve (12) month period following the date of termination; or (ii) the date on which Mr. Tessier receives coverage under another benefit plan with a subsequent employer. Any stock option held by Mr. Tessier at the date of termination shall vest immediately and Mr. Tessier shall be entitled to exercise these options in accordance with the terms of the Predecessor Plan and the policies of the Exchange.

In the event of a termination upon a "Change in Control" (as these terms are defined in such agreements) André C. Tessier shall have the right to terminate the employment agreement, within ninety (90) days from the date of the Change of Control, upon written notice to the Company. Within thirty (30) days from the date of delivery of such notice, the Company shall forward to André C. Tessier :

(a) the amount of money due and owing to André C. Tessier hereunder to the extent accrued due to André C. Tessier to the effective date of termination, but remaining unpaid, if any, including without limitation any earned but unused vacation pay, and
(b) a termination payment in an amount equal to twenty-four (24) months' pay based on Mr. Tessier's Salary at the time of the change of control, payable in a lump sum.
(c) Any stock option held by Mr. Tessier shall vest immediately upon the date of the Change of Control of the Company and Mr. Tessier shall be entitled to exercise these options until their expiration date.


Report on Executive Compensation

The Compensation and Human Resources Committee is currently comprised of Justin Reid (Chairman), Kevin B. Heather and Sara Marcotte Paquet. Mr. Reid, Mr. Heather and Mrs. Marcotte Paquet are considered to be independent applying the definition set out in Section 1.4 of National Instrument 52-110 - Audit Committees ("NI 52-110"). Members of the Compensation and Human Resources Committee have held senior executive positions in other companies thus providing these committee members with direct experience relevant to their responsibilities in the matters of determining executive compensation and setting the Company's compensation policies and practices.

It is the responsibility of the Compensation and Human Resources Committee to recommend to the Board the level of compensation in respect of the Company's senior executives with a view to providing such executives with a competitive compensation package having regard to their duties, responsibilities and performance. Performance is defined to include achievement of the Company's strategic objective of growth and enhancement of shareholder value through positive exploration results, overall performance of the Company, improved cash balances and fluctuations in share price. In setting compensation levels for the Named Executive Officers, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee refers to the Company's understanding of the amount of compensation generally paid by similarly situated companies to their executives with similar roles and responsibilities, the performance of the Company's Named Executive Officers during the financial year in general and as measured against the Company's strategic objectives, the roles and responsibilities of the Company's Named Executive Officers, the individual experience and skills of, and expected contributions from, the Company's Named Executive Officers and the Company's financial situation. No independent third-party report was prepared for the compensation of the executive officers in the 2023 financial year.

The Compensation and Human Resources Committee is also responsible for reviewing the Company's manpower and succession plan.

Although the Company does not have a policy which prohibits any Named Executive Officer or director from purchasing financial instruments designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held by the Named Executive Officer or director, no Named Executive Officer or director has entered into any such agreement.

Compensation for executive officers is composed primarily of two components when granted: namely, base fees (or salary) and stock options. Performance bonuses may be considered from time to time having regard to the above-referenced objectives. The Board does not believe that the Company's compensation program encourages excessive or inappropriate risk taking because (i) the base fees, when granted, provide a steady income, allowing executive officers to focus on their role in developing the Company's business; and (ii) the Company's stock option plan encourages executive officers to consider the overall performance of the Company and the enhancement of shareholder value through increases in the price of the common shares.

Compensation of Directors

The following table discloses the cash, equity awards and other compensation earned, paid or awarded, as the case may be, to each of the Company's non-executive directors during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

(1) Mr. Kopas was appointed as director of the Company on November 12, 2024.

APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS AND AUTHORIZATION GIVEN TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO FIX THE REMUNERATION OF THE AUDITORS

KPMG LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, have served as auditors of the Company since August 18, 2020. At a meeting held on June 17, 2025, the Board of Directors determined that Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, would be proposed for appointment as auditors of the Company at the Meeting.


In light of the foregoing, a reporting package is annexed to this Circular as Schedule “C”, as required by National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations. The reporting package contains a: (i) Notice of Change of Auditors dated June 23, 2025 from the Company; (ii) letter dated June 26, 2025 from KPMG LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants; and (iii) letter dated June 23, 2025 from Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants.

Therefore, the Board proposes the appointment of Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, as auditors of the Company for the financial year ending December 31, 2025. Furthermore, for practical reasons, it is timely at the Meeting to authorize the Board to fix the remuneration of the auditors.

Except where authorization to vote with respect to the appointment of the auditors is withheld, the persons designated in the accompanying form of proxy will vote IN FAVOUR of the appointment of Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton LLP as auditors and that the Board be authorized to fix the auditors remuneration, unless the shareholder specifies in his form of proxy his wish to withhold from voting.

APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY’S OMNIBUS EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to approve with or without variation, an ordinary resolution (the “Omnibus Plan Resolution”) to authorize, approve and confirm the Omnibus Plan attached as Schedule “B” to this Information Circular and as summarized below, including the setting-aside, allotting and reserving 10% of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares from time to time for issuance pursuant to the exercise of awards granted thereunder.

The Company believes that it is desirable to have a wide range of incentive awards, including stock options, deferred share units, restricted share units, performance share units and stock appreciation rights to attract, retain and motivate employees, directors and consultants of the Company. The Omnibus Plan if approved will replace the Predecessor Plan and the Company will cease to grant options under the Predecessor Plan, provided that all options outstanding under the Predecessor Plan continue in full force until the time that they are exercised or terminated or expired under their terms and the terms of the Predecessor Plan. The Omnibus Plan is subject to Exchange approval. Capitalized terms used in this section and not otherwise defined, have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Omnibus Plan.

To be effective, the Omnibus Plan Resolution must be approved by not less than a majority of the votes cast in respect thereof by shareholders other than insiders of the Company eligible to receive awards under the Omnibus Plan and their associates (as defined in Exchange Policies, collectively, the “Insiders”). To comply with the policies of the Exchange covering “rolling” option plans, continued grants under the Omnibus Plan must be approved annually by the shareholders of the Company.

The authorization, approval and confirmation of the Omnibus Plan constitutes shareholder approval of future stock options granted to directors, senior officers and/or their management companies and other service providers provided same are authorized by the Omnibus Plan. The Omnibus Plan will cease to be effective if it is not authorized, approved and confirmed by a majority of votes cast at the Meeting (excluding votes cast by Insiders).

The Board recommends that shareholders vote FOR the approval of the Omnibus Plan Resolution.

At the Meeting, relevant disinterested shareholders will be asked to authorize, approve and confirm the Omnibus Plan for continuation until the next annual general meeting of shareholders of the Company by voting on the following ordinary resolution:

“BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

  1. the omnibus equity incentive plan (the “Omnibus Plan”), substantially in the form attached as Schedule “B” to the Management Information Circular of the Company dated July 7, 2025 is hereby authorized, approved and confirmed;

  1. the number of common shares of the Company reserved for issuance under the Omnibus Plan and the Predecessor Plan shall not exceed 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares at any time;
  2. the Company is authorized to make such changes or amendments to the Omnibus Plan as may be required by the TSX Venture Exchange;
  3. to the extent permitted by law, the Company be authorized to abandon all or any part of the Omnibus Plan if the Board deems it appropriate and in the best interest of the Company to do so; and
  4. any one or more directors and officers of the Company be authorized to perform all such acts, deeds and things and execute, under seal of the Company or otherwise, all such documents as may be required to give effect to this resolution."

PROXIES GRANTED TO MANAGEMENT WILL BE VOTED FOR AND IN FAVOUR OF THE OMNIBUS PLAN RESOLUTION, UNLESS THE SHAREHOLDER HAS SPECIFIED IN THE PROXY THAT THE SHARES HELD BY THE SHAREHOLDER ARE TO BE VOTED AGAINST SUCH RESOLUTION.

Summary of the Omnibus Plan

The summary of the Omnibus Plan set out below is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Omnibus Plan.

The Omnibus Plan permits the grant of options (“Options”), restricted share units (“RSUs”), performance share units (“PSUs”), deferred share units (“DSUs”), and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) (individually, or collectively, an “Award”) to eligible Participants (defined below).

The Purpose of the Omnibus Plan is to: (i) provide the Company with a mechanism to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and its affiliates; (ii) align the interests of Participants with that of other shareholders of the Company generally; and (iii) enable and encourage Participants to participate in the long-term growth of the Company through the acquisition of common shares as long-term investments.

Under the Omnibus Plan, the maximum number of common shares issuable from treasury pursuant to Awards (including outstanding stock options under the Predecessor Plan) shall not exceed 10% of the total outstanding common shares from time to time. The Omnibus Plan with respect to the Options is a “rolling plan” and as a result, any and all increases in the number of issued and outstanding common shares will result in an increase to the number of Options for issuance under the Omnibus Plan. Shares in respect of which Options have not been exercised and are no longer subject to being purchased pursuant to the terms of any Options shall be available for further Options under the Omnibus Plan. For so long as the Company is listed on the TSXV:

(a) the maximum number of common shares for which Awards may be issued to any one Participants in any 12-month period shall not exceed 5% of the outstanding common shares, calculated on the date an Award is granted to the Participants, unless the Company obtains shareholder approval as required by the policies of the TSXV;
(b) the aggregate number of common shares for which Awards may be issued to any one Consultant (as defined by the TSXV) within any 12-month period shall not exceed 2% of the outstanding common shares, calculated on the date an Award is granted to the Consultant; and
(c) the aggregate number of common shares for which Options may be issued to any company or individual (“Persons”) retained to provide Investor Relations Activities (as defined by the TSXV) within any 12-month period shall not exceed 2% of the outstanding common shares, calculated on the date an Option is granted to such Persons.

Unless disinterested shareholder approval as required by the policies of the TSXV is obtained: (i) the maximum number of common shares for which Awards may be issued to insiders (as a group) at any point in time shall not exceed 10% of the outstanding common shares; and (ii) the aggregate number of Awards granted to insiders (as a


group), within any 12-month period, shall not exceed 10% of the outstanding common shares, calculated at the date an Award is granted to any insider.

The Omnibus Plan provides for customary adjustments or substitutions, as applicable, in the number of common shares that may be issued under the Omnibus Plan in the event of a merger, arrangement, amalgamation, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, separation, stock dividend, extraordinary dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split up, spin-off or other distribution of stock or property of the Company, combination of securities, exchange of securities, dividend in kind, or other like change in capital structure or distribution (other than normal cash dividends) to the Company's shareholders, or any similar corporate vent or transaction. The Omnibus Plan also provides, with respect to DSUs, PSUs, and RSUs, for the payment of dividend equivalents in the form of additional DSUs, PSUs or RSUs, as applicable, in the amount that a Participant (defined below) would have received if DSUs, PSUs, and RSUs had settled for common shares on the record date of dividends declared by the Company's other share-based compensation, provided that the Corporation may make payment for such dividend in cash to the extent that it does not have a sufficient number of common shares available under the Omnibus Plan to satisfy its obligations in respect of such dividends.

Plan Administration

The Omnibus Plan will be administered by the Board, which may delegate its authority to any duly authorized committee of the Board (the "Plan Administrator"). Subject to compliance with the policies of the TSXV, Plan Administrator has sole and complete authority, in its discretion, to:

(a) determine the individuals to whom grants of Awards under the Omnibus Plan may be made (the "Participants");

(b) make grants of Awards under the Omnibus Plan, whether relating to the issuance of Shares or otherwise (including any combination of Options, RSUs, PSUs, DSUs, SARs or other Share-Based Awards (as such term is defined in the Omnibus Plan)), in such amounts, to such Participants and, subject to the provisions of the Omnibus Plan, on such terms and conditions as it determines, including without limitation:

(i) the time or times at which Awards may be granted;

(ii) the conditions under which: (A) Awards may be granted to Participants; or (B) Awards may be forfeited to the Company, including any conditions relating to the attainment of specific performance goals;

(iii) the number of Shares to be covered by any Award;

(iv) the price, if any, to be paid by a Participant in connection with the purchase of Shares covered by any Awards;

(v) whether restrictions or limitations are to be imposed on the Shares issuable pursuant to grants of any Award, and the natures of such restrictions or limitations, if any; and

(vi) any acceleration of exercisability or vesting, or waiver of termination regarding any Award, based on such factors as the Plan Administrator may determine;

(c) establish the form or forms of Award Agreements (as defined in the Omnibus Plan);

(d) cancel, amend, adjust or otherwise change any Award under such circumstances as the Plan Administrator may consider appropriate in accordance with the provisions of the Omnibus Plan;

(e) construe and interpret the Omnibus Plan and all Award Agreements;


(f) adopt, amend, prescribe and rescind administrative guidelines and other rules and regulations relating to the Omnibus Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of satisfying applicable foreign laws or for qualifying for favourable tax treatment under applicable foreign laws; and

(g) make all other determinations and take all other actions necessary or advisable for the implementation and administration of the Omnibus Plan.

Change in Control

If there is a Change in Control (as defined in the Omnibus Plan), the Plan Administrator may, subject to compliance with the policies of the TSXV, take such steps as it deems necessary or desirable, including to cause (i) the conversion or exchange of any outstanding Awards into or for, right or other securities of substantially equivalent value, as determined by the Plan Administrator in its discretion, in any entity participating in or resulting from a Change in Control; (ii) outstanding Awards to vest and become exercisable, realizable, or payable, or restrictions applicable to an Award to lapse, in whole or in part prior to or upon consummation of such Change in Control, and, to the extent the Plan Administrator determines, terminate upon or immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Change in Control; (iii) the termination of an Award in exchange for an amount of cash and/or property, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise or settlement of such Award or realization of the Participant's rights as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction net of any exercise price payable by the Participant (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction the Plan Administrator determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise or settlement of such Award or realization of the Participant's rights net of any exercise price payable by the Participant, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without payment); (iv) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Board in its sole discretion; or (v) any combination of the foregoing.

Options

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Omnibus Plan and any policies of the TSXV, the Board may grant Options (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) to Participants in such amounts and upon such terms (including the exercise price, duration of the Options, the number of common shares to which the Option pertains, and the conditions, if any, upon which an Option shall become vested and exercisable) as the Board shall determine.

The exercise price of the Options will be determined by the Board at the time any Option is granted. In no event will such exercise price be lower than the last closing price of the common shares on the TSXV, less any discount permitted by the policies of the Exchange if and as may be determined appropriate by the Plan Administrator. Except where a Participant elects for a Net Exercise (defined below), such price upon exercise of any Option shall be payable to the Company in full in cash, certified cheque or wire transfer.

Subject to prior approval by the Board, a Participant may elect to surrender for cancellation to the Company any vested Options in accordance with the net exercise policies of the TSXV (a "Net Exercise"). In connection with a Net Exercise, the Company will issue to the Participant, as consideration of the Options, that number of Option Shares (as such term is defined in the Omnibus Plan) determined to be exchanged by a Participant on a net issuance basis in accordance with the following formula below:

$$
\frac{\mathrm{X} = \mathrm{Y} (\mathrm{A} - \mathrm{B})}{\mathrm{A}}
$$

where:

X = The number of Option Shares issuable to the Participant as consideration in respect of the exchange or surrender of an Option under Section 4.6 of the Omnibus Plan;

Y = The number of Option Shares issuable with respect to the vested portion of the Option exercised by the Participant (the "Subject Options");


A = Volume weighted average trading price of the Shares on the TSXV calculated by dividing the total value by the total volume of such securities traded for the five trading days immediately preceding the exercise of the subject Options; and

B = The Exercise Price of the Subject Options.

Subject to prior approval by the Board, where the Company has an arrangement with a brokerage firm pursuant to which the brokerage firm will loan money to a Participant to purchase the Shares underlying Options (i.e. to cover the exercise price), the Participant may borrow money from such brokerage firm to exercise Options (a “Cashless Exercise”). If the Participant makes such borrowing, then the Participant shall direct the brokerage firm to sell, on behalf of the Participant, a sufficient number of the Shares that are acquired upon exercise of the Options to obtain proceeds of sale from such Shares in an amount to repay the amount of the loan made by the broker to the Participant.

Unless otherwise specified in an Award Agreement (as defined in the Omnibus Plan), and subject to any provisions of the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement relating to acceleration of vesting of Options, Options shall vest subject to TSXV policies (including TSXV Policies with respect to the vesting of Options granted to person performing Investor Relations Activities (as defined in the Omnibus Plan)), and the Board may, in its sole discretion, determine the time during which an Option shall vest and the method of vesting, or that no vesting restriction shall exist.

Subject to any requirements of the TSXV, the Board may determine the expiry date of each Option. Subject to a limited extension if an Option expires during a black out period, Options may be exercised for a period of up to ten (10) years after the grant date, provided that: (i) upon a Participant’s termination for cause, all Options, whether vested or not, as at the date on which a Participant ceases to be eligible to participate under the Omnibus Plan (the “Termination Date”) as a result of termination of employment, will be immediately forfeited and cancelled on such date; (ii) upon the death of a Participant, all unvested Options as at the Termination Date shall immediately vest, and all vested Options will continue to be subject to the Omnibus Plan and be exercisable until the earlier of the original expiry date of the award and 12 months after the Termination Date, provided that any Option that remains unexercised shall be immediately forfeited on such date; (iii) in the case of the disability of a Participant, all Options shall remain and continue to vest (and are exercisable) in accordance with the terms of the Omnibus Plan until the earlier of the original expiry date of the award and 12 months after the Termination Date, provided that any Options that have not been exercised (whether vested or not) shall be immediately forfeited on such date; (iv) in the case of the retirement of a Participant, all Options shall remain and continue to vest (and are exercisable) in accordance with the terms of the Omnibus Plan until the earlier of the original expiry date and 12 months after Termination Date, provided that any Options that have not been exercised (whether vested or not) shall be immediately forfeited on such date; notwithstanding the foregoing, if, following his or her retirement, the Participant commences (the “Commencement Date”) employment, consulting or acting as a director or otherwise as a service provider to any Person that carries on or proposes to carry on a business competitive with the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, any Option held by the Participant that has not been exercised as of the Commencement Date shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled as of the Commencement Date; and (v) in all other cases where a Participant ceases to be eligible under the Omnibus Plan, including a termination without cause or a voluntary resignation, unless otherwise determined by the Board, all unvested Options shall automatically and immediately expire and be forfeited as of the Termination Date, and all vested Options will continue to be subject to the Omnibus Plan and be exercisable until the earlier of the original expiry date and the date that is 30 days after the Termination Date, provided that any Options that have not been exercised shall be immediately forfeited on such date.

Share Units

The Board is authorized to grant RSUs, PSUs, DSUs and SARs evidencing the right to receive common shares (issued from treasury), cash based on the value of a common shares or a combination thereof at some future time to eligible persons under the Omnibus Plan. RSUs and SARs generally become vested, if at all, following a period of continuous employment. PSUs are similar to RSUs, but their vesting is, in whole or in part, conditioned on the attainment of specified performance metrics as may be determined by the Board.

The terms and conditions of grants of RSUs, PSUs and SARs, including the quantity, type of award, grant date, vesting conditions, vesting periods, settlement date and other terms and conditions with respect to these Awards will be set out in the Participant’s Award Agreement.


Subject to the achievement of the applicable vesting conditions, the payout of an RSU, PSU or SAR will generally occur on the settlement date. The payout of a DSU will generally occur upon or following the Participant ceasing to be a director, executive officer, employee or consultant of the Company, subject to satisfaction of any applicable conditions.

OTHER MATTERS WHICH MAY COME BEFORE THE MEETING

THE MANAGEMENT KNOWS OF NO MATTERS TO COME BEFORE THE ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH IN THIS INFORMATION CIRCULAR. HOWEVER, IF OTHER MATTERS WHICH ARE NOT KNOWN TO THE MANAGEMENT SHOULD PROPERLY COME BEFORE THE MEETING, THE ACCOMPANYING PROXY WILL BE VOTED ON SUCH MATTERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BEST JUDGMENT OF THE PERSONS VOTING THE PROXY.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy represent management of the Company. A SHAREHOLDER DESIRING TO APPOINT SOME OTHER PERSON TO REPRESENT HIM AT THE MEETING MAY DO SO by filling in the name of such person in the blank space provided in the proxy or by completing another proper form of proxy and in either case, depositing the completed proxy with the Company at 36 Lombard Street, Floor 4, Toronto, ON M5C 2X3, by 4:00 p.m. on August 12, 2025 or by 4:00 p.m. on the second day (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time of any adjournment of the Meeting at which the proxy is to be used. A proxy should be executed by the shareholder or his attorney duly authorized in writing or, if the shareholder is a company by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized.

In addition to any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked before it is exercised by instrument in writing executed in the same manner as a proxy and deposited at the executive offices of the Company at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, at which the proxy is to be used or with the chairman of the Meeting on the day of such meeting or any adjournment thereof and thereupon the proxy is revoked. A shareholder attending the Meeting has the right to vote in person and if he does so, his proxy is nullified with respect to the matters such person votes upon and any subsequent matters thereafter to be voted upon at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

An instrument of proxy will not be valid unless it is deposited at the offices of TSX Trust Company (100 Adelaide Street West, Suite 301, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 4H1) not later than 4:00 p.m., (Toronto time) on August 12, 2025 or the second day (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time of any adjournment of the Meeting. An instrument of proxy shall be in writing, dated and executed by the shareholder or the shareholder's attorney authorized in writing or, if the shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized.

ADVICE TO BENEFICIAL SHAREHOLDERS

Only shareholders holding common shares in their own name ("Registered Shareholders"), or the persons they appoint as their proxies, are permitted to vote at the Meeting. However, in many cases, common shares owned by a person (a "Beneficial Shareholder") are registered either (a) in the name of an intermediary (an "Intermediary") that the Beneficial Shareholder deals with in respect of the common shares (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered registered savings plans, registered retirement income funds, registered education savings plans and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. ("CDS") of which the Intermediary is a participant.

Beneficial shareholders fall into two categories – those who object to their identity being made known to the issuers of securities which they own ("Objecting Beneficial Owners" or "OBOs") and those who do not object to their identity being made known to the issuers of the securities they own ("Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners" or "NOBOs"). Subject to the provisions of National Instrument 54-101 Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer ("NI 54-101") issuers may request and obtain a list of their NOBOs from intermediaries via their


transfer agents. Pursuant to NI 54-101, issuers may obtain and use the NOBO list for distribution of proxy-related materials directly (not via Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge") to such NOBOs.

If you are a Non-Objecting Beneficial Owner and the Company or its agent has sent the meeting materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary holding on your behalf. By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Company (and not the Intermediary holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for: (i) delivering these materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions as specified in the request for voting instructions.

The Company's decision to deliver proxy-related materials directly to its NOBOs will result in all NOBOs receiving a scannable Voting Instruction Form ("VIF") from TSX Trust Company. Please complete and return the VIF to TSX Trust Company (100, Adelaide St. West Suite 301, Toronto, Ontario M5H 4H1) or by facsimile at 416-595-9593. In addition, instructions in respect of the procedure for internet voting can be found in the VIF. TSX Trust Company will tabulate the results of the VIFs received from NOBOs and will provide appropriate instructions at the Meeting with respect to the common shares represented by the VIFs received by TSX Trust Company. For purposes of the Meeting, NOBOs will be otherwise treated the same as Registered Shareholders.

OBOs may expect to receive their materials related to the Meeting from Broadridge or their brokers or their broker's agents. If a reporting issuer does not intend to pay for an Intermediary to deliver materials to OBOs, OBOs will not receive the materials unless their Intermediary assumes the cost of delivery. The Company does not intend to pay for Intermediaries to deliver the proxy-related materials to OBOs.

Although a Beneficial Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting common shares registered in the name of his or her Intermediary, a Beneficial Shareholder may attend the Meeting as proxyholder for the Registered Shareholder and vote such common shares in that capacity. Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners who wish to attend the Meeting and indirectly vote their common shares as proxyholder for the Registered Shareholder should, well in advance of the Meeting, provide written instructions to the Company requesting that the NOBO or a nominee of the NOBO be appointed as proxyholder for the Meeting. Written instructions to the Company may be in the form of (i) the VIF included with these Meeting materials, or (ii) any other document in writing that requests that the NOBO or a nominee of the NOBO be appointed as a proxyholder for the Meeting.

All references to shareholders in this Information Circular and the accompanying form of proxy and Notice of Meeting are to shareholders of record unless specifically stated otherwise.

EXERCISE OF DISCRETION BY PROXYHOLDERS

PROXIES GRANTED TO MANAGEMENT WILL BE VOTED AND WHERE A CHOICE IS SPECIFIED, WILL BE VOTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CHOICE SO SPECIFIED IN THE PROXY. IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY SUCH SPECIFICATION, THE MANAGEMENT DESIGNES, IF NAMED AS PROXY, WILL VOTE PROXIES FOR AND IN FAVOUR OF THE APPROVAL OF MATTERS SET OUT THEREIN. THE ENCLOSED FORM OF PROXY ALSO CONFERS DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY UPON THE PERSONS NAMED THEREIN TO VOTE WITH RESPECT TO ANY AMENDMENTS OR VARIATIONS TO THE MATTERS IDENTIFIED IN THE NOTICE OF MEETING AND WITH RESPECT TO OTHER MATTERS WHICH MAY PROPERLY COME BEFORE THE MEETING IN SUCH MANNER AS SUCH NOMINEE IN HIS JUDGMENT MAY DETERMINE. AT THE TIME OF PRINTING OF THIS INFORMATION CIRCULAR, THE MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY KNOWS OF NO SUCH AMENDMENTS, VARIATIONS OR OTHER MATTERS TO COME BEFORE THE MEETING.

NOTICE AND ACCESS

The Company is utilizing the "notice and access" process under National Instrument 54-101 – Communications with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer ("NI-54-101") and National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations, for distribution of this Information Circular and other meeting materials to Registered Shareholders and Beneficial Shareholders (the "Notice and Access Shareholders").


Notice and access is a set of rules that allows issuers to post electronic versions of meeting materials, including circulars, annual financial statements and management discussion and analysis online, via SEDAR and one other website, rather than mailing paper copies of such meeting materials to shareholders. The Company anticipates that utilizing the notice and access process will substantially reduce both postage and printing costs and will promote environmental responsibility by decreasing the large volume of paper documents generated by printing proxy-related materials.

The Company has posted the Information Circular on the website https://docs.tsxtrust.com/2050, the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the "Annual Financial Statements") and the Company's management discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the "Annual MD&A") are on the website https://deltaresources.ca/agm2025/.

Although the Information Circular, Annual Financial Statements and Annual MD&A will be posted electronically online, as noted above, the Notice and Access Shareholders will receive a "notice package", by prepaid mail, which includes the Notice of Meeting, with information prescribed by NI 54-101 and a proxy form or VIF from their respective Intermediary. Notice and Access Shareholders should follow the instructions for completion and delivery contained in the VIF. Notice and Access Shareholders are reminded to review the Information Circular before voting.

Notice and Access Shareholders will not receive a paper copy of the Information Circular, Annual Financial Statements or Annual MD&A unless they contact TSX Trust Company in which case TSX Trust Company will mail the requested materials within three business days of any request. Request for paper copies should be received by August 5, 2025. Notice and Access Shareholders with questions about notice and access may contact TSX Trust Company toll free at 1-866-600-5869 or the Company's Chief Financial Officer by e-mail at [email protected].

AUDIT COMMITTEE

NI 52-110 relating to the composition and function of audit committees was implemented for reporting companies effective March 30, 2004 and, accordingly, applies to every TSXV listed company, including the Company. NI 52-110 requires all affected issuers to have a written Audit Committee Charter (the "Charter") which must be disclosed, as stipulated by Form 52-110F2, in the management information circular of the Company wherein management solicits proxies from the shareholders of the Company for the purpose of electing directors to the Board. This Charter has been adopted by the Board in order to comply with NI 52-110 and to more properly define the role of the Committee in the oversight of the financial reporting process of the Company. Nothing in this Charter is intended to restrict the ability of the directors nor audit committee to alter or vary procedures to comply more fully with NI 52-110, as amended from time to time. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is attached hereto as Schedule "A".

The Audit Committee is composed of Sara Marcotte Paquet (Chairperson), Kevin B. Heather and Justin Reid. The Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate, and is independent within the meaning of NI 52-110. The education and experience of Audit Committee members enable them to understand the accounting principles used by the Company in preparing financial statements, and to assess the overall application of the Company's accounting principles for accounting estimates, accruals and provisions. Moreover, this experience helps members to be prepared for the analysis and assessment of financial statements dealing with accounting issues comparable with issues raised in the Company's financial statements, allowing them to properly understand internal controls and procedures for the reporting of financial information. For a description of the education and experience of the Audit Committee members, see "Corporate Governance".

Biographical information on the Audit Committee members can be found below.

VOTING OF SHARES

Persons registered on the books of the Company at the close of business on June 25, 2025 (the "record date") are entitled to vote at the Meeting. Quorum for the Meeting consists of at least 2 voting persons present and authorized to cast in the aggregate not less than 10% of the total number of votes attaching to all shares carrying the right to vote at the Meeting.


At the date of this information circular, the Company has outstanding 133,905,155 common shares of its capital stock, each of which carries one vote. So far as the directors and officers of the Company are aware, no person or company beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercises control or direction over voting securities carrying in excess of 10% of the voting rights attached to the common shares of the Company.

RECEIPT OF SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR NEXT ANNUAL MEETING

The Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (“OBCA”) provides that a Registered Shareholder or a Beneficial Shareholder that is entitled to vote at an annual meeting of the Company may submit to the Company notice of any proposal that the person proposes to raise at the meeting (referred to as a “Proposal”) and discuss at the meeting any matter in respect of which the person would have been entitled to submit a Proposal. The OBCA further provides that, subject to the provisions of the OBCA, the Company must set out or attach the Proposal in its management proxy circular along with, if so requested by the person who makes the Proposal, a statement in support of the Proposal by such person. However, the Company will not be required to set out or attach the Proposal in its management proxy circular or include a supporting statement if, among other things, the Proposal is not submitted to the Company within the 60-day period before the anniversary date of the previous annual meeting of shareholders. Shareholder proposals for consideration at the next annual meeting of shareholders of the Company must be submitted by no later than June 14, 2026 in order to be included in the management proxy circular for such meeting. The Company has not received any shareholder proposals for consideration at this year’s Meeting.

The foregoing is a summary only; shareholders should carefully review the provisions of the OBCA relating to Proposals and consult with a legal advisor.

For the Meeting contemplated by this Circular, no proposal was made by the shareholders to the Company.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Board has ultimate responsibility for the management of the Company. The Board discharges its responsibilities directly and through its Audit Committee, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Compensation and Human Resources Committee. The Board meets at least four times per year with additional meetings being held as required.

The Company is a small Company that currently has only five directors (one of which is the President and Chief Executive Officer and one is the Chairman of the Company). Responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Company is undertaken by the President and Chief Executive Officer who also undertakes primary responsibility for effective communication between Company, its shareholders and the public. Shareholder communication, particularly financial communications, is reviewed by the Board which also meets with the Company’s auditor prior to the completion of the annual audit. Having regard to the size of the Board and the amount of time required to administer the business and affairs of the Company most corporate governance activities and issues are dealt with by the full Board.

Currently, the Board does not have a formal orientation or education program for its members. When new directors are appointed, they receive orientation, commensurate with their previous experience, on the Company’s business and on the responsibilities of directors. Board meetings may also include presentations by the Company’s management and employees to give the directors additional insight into the Company’s business.

The Board promotes ethical business conduct through the nomination of Board members it considers ethical, through avoiding and minimizing conflicts of interest and by normally having a majority of its Board members independent of corporate matters.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, considers the size of the Board each year when it considers the number of directors to recommend to the shareholders for election at the annual meeting of shareholders, taking into account the number required to carry out the Board’s duties effectively and to maintain a diversity of views and experience.


Currently, the Board takes responsibility for monitoring and assessing its own effectiveness, including reviewing the Board's decision-making processes and quality and adequacy of information provided by management, and the performance of individual directors and its committees.

With the exception of André C. Tessier and Frank Candido, all members of the Board during 2024 were independent within the meaning of National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices. As the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, André C. Tessier was not independent. As the Chairman of the Company, Frank Candido is not independent. None of the other directors of the Company are employed by the Company or have material consulting contracts with the Company. Any changes to the composition of the Board or status of its members are discussed and recommended by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and determined by the full Board. In the past, the Company has made available, at the Company's expense, outside legal advisors to the directors of the Company on an "as needed" basis. The current outside directors of the Company are qualified to discharge their functions as outside directors. The following sets out the background information regarding the Delta Nominees:

On November 28, 2017, Mr. Candido settled the case with the AMF by agreeing to a $18,000 payment and agreeing to not transact in the open market in Golden Hope Mines Limited shares for a period of one year.

CBCA Requirements

The provisions of Bill C-25 regarding diversity on boards of directors and among senior management, as well as the associated regulations, were approved by Order in Council of the Government of Canada. These provisions set out a requirement that all distributing corporations, as defined under the CBCA, (including the Company), for all annual meetings held on or after January 1, 2020, shall report on the representation of the Designated Groups. If all nominees proposed for election at the Meeting are elected, there will be one woman on the Board.

As of the date of this Circular, for each of the designated groups, the Company has not tailored a target number or percentage, or range of target numbers or percentages, for members of the designated groups to serve on the Board or as members of senior management by a specific date, as it believes that that imposing targets based on specific selection criteria would limit the Corporation's ability to ensure that the overall composition of the Board and senior management meets the needs of the Corporation and its shareholders.

As of the date of this Circular, the Board has one woman. The number and proportion or directors and executive officers who self-identify as members of the designated groups are as follows:

Board of Directors

Designated Group(1) Number Proportion
Women 1 20%
First Nations 0 0
Persons with Disabilities 0 0

Subject to any accelerated termination as set forth in this Plan, each Option expires on its Expiry Date and the Plan Administrator will ensure that no Option shall be exercised beyond the date permitted by the Exchange.

Block DocID


-14-

The Plan Administrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the terms and conditions of an Award Agreement evidencing one or more Options granted under the Plan to a Canadian Participant are consistent with: (i) the application of Subsection 7(1) to the Option; and (ii) the ability of the Canadian Participant to claim the 110(1)(d) Deduction in respect of the option.

4.4 Vesting and Exercisability

(a) The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to determine the vesting terms applicable to grants of Options provided that for so long as the Corporation is listed on the TSXV: (i) Options granted to Investor Relations Service Providers shall be subject to the vesting requirements set out in TSXV Policy 4.4; and (ii) Awards granted to all other Participants shall be subject to the vesting requirements of TSXV Policy 4.4.

Each vested Option or instalment of an Option may be exercised at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part, for up to the total number of Option Shares with respect to which it is then exercisable. The Plan Administrator has the right to accelerate the date upon which any Option or instalment of any Option, other than an Option granted to an Investor Relations Service Provider, becomes exercisable.

(c) A Canadian Participant shall not receive, upon exercising one or more Options, any form of cash or other remuneration (except, for greater certainty, Shares) in lieu of the Shares underlying the Option(s).

(f) If subsection 110(1.31) of the Tax Act applies to a Canadian Participant in respect of an Option, the Plan Administrator shall use commercially reasonably efforts to ensure that the terms and conditions of the Award Agreement evidencing the Option do not cause any Shares, to be sold or issued under the Option, to constitute non-qualified securities for purposes of subsection 110(1.31) of the Tax Act.

4.5 Payment of Exercise Price

(a) Unless otherwise specified by the Plan Administrator at the time of granting an Option and set forth in the particular Award Agreement, the Exercise Notice must be accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price must be fully paid by wire transfer, certified cheque, bank draft or money order payable to the Corporation or by such other means as might be specified from time to time by the Plan Administrator, which may include (i) through an arrangement with a broker approved by the Corporation (or through an arrangement directly with the Corporation) whereby payment of the Exercise Price is accomplished pursuant to a cashless or net exercise of Options as described in Section 4.6 and 4.7, respectively, or (ii) such other consideration and method of

payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by the Exchange and Securities Laws, or any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

4.6 Cashless Exercise

Subject to prior approval by the Board, where the Corporation has an arrangement with a brokerage firm pursuant to which the brokerage firm will loan money to a Participant to purchase the Shares underlying Options (i.e. to cover the Exercise Price), the Participant may borrow money from such brokerage firm to exercise Options. If the Participant makes such borrowing, then the Participant shall direct the brokerage firm to sell, on behalf of the Participant, a sufficient number of the Shares that are acquired upon exercise of the Options to obtain proceeds of sale from such Shares in an amount to repay the amount of the loan made by the Broker to the Participant.

4.7 Net Exercise of Options

X = The number of Option Shares issuable to the Participant as consideration in respect of the exchange or surrender of an Option under this Section 4.7;

Y = The number of Option Shares issuable with respect to the vested portion of the Option exercised by the Participant (the "Subject Options");

A = The VWAP of the Shares; and

B = The Exercise Price of the Subject Options.

4.8 Disposition of Options by Canadian Participant

If the Plan Administrator effects the disposition of an Option held by a Canadian Participant and the Canadian Participant receives, as consideration for the Option, another Option (and no other consideration), the Plan Administrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that, to the extent possible, subsection 7(1.4) of the Tax Act applies in respect of the exchange (unless otherwise requested, or agreed to, by the Canadian Participant).

If a Canadian Participant disposes of their rights under an Option, without exercising their rights to acquire the Shares underlying the Option, to the Company or an Affiliate for cash or another form of consideration, the Company or Affiliate, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make an election under subsection 110(1.1) of the Tax Act, if applicable, in respect of such payment and/or take any other reasonable actions necessary to ensure the Canadian Participant may claim the 110(1)(d) Deduction in respect of such Option.

(b) Each Electing Person who elects to receive their Elected Amount in the form of DSUs in lieu of cash will be required to file a notice of election in the form of Schedule A hereto (the “Election Notice”) with the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation: (i) in the case of an existing Electing Person, by December 31st in the year prior to the year in which the services giving rise to the compensation are performed (other than for Director Fees payable for the 2025 financial year, in which case such Electing Person shall file the Election Notice by the date that is 30 days from the effective date of the Plan with respect to compensation paid for services to be performed after such date); and (ii) in the case of a newly appointed Electing Person, within 30 days of such appointment with respect to compensation paid for services to be performed after such date. If no election is made within the foregoing time frames, the Electing Person shall be deemed to have elected to be paid the entire amount of his or her Cash Fees in cash.

(c) Subject to Subsection 6.1(d), the election of an Electing Person under Subsection 6.1(b) shall be deemed to apply to all Cash Fees that would be paid subsequent to the filing of the Election Notice, and such Electing Person is not required to file another Election Notice for subsequent calendar years.

(d) Each Electing Person is entitled once per calendar year to terminate his or her election to receive DSUs in lieu of Cash Fees by filing with the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation a notice in the form of Schedule B hereto. Such termination shall be effective immediately upon receipt of such notice, provided that the Corporation has not imposed a “black-out” on trading. Thereafter, any portion of such Electing Person’s Cash Fees payable or paid in the same calendar year and, subject to complying with Subsection 6.1(b), all subsequent calendar years shall be paid in cash. For greater certainty, to the extent an Electing Person terminates his or her participation in the grant of DSUs pursuant to this Article 6, he or she shall not be entitled to elect to receive the Elected Amount, or any other amount of his or her Cash Fees in DSUs in lieu of cash again until the calendar year following the year in which the termination notice is delivered.

(e) Any DSUs granted pursuant to this Article 6 prior to the delivery of a termination notice pursuant to Section 6.1(d) shall remain in the Plan following such termination and will be redeemable only in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

(f) The number of DSUs (including fractional DSUs) granted at any particular time pursuant to this Article 6 will be calculated by dividing (i) the amount of any compensation that is to be paid in DSUs (including Director Fees and any Elected Amount), as determined by the Plan Administrator, by (ii) the Market Price of a Share on the Date of Grant.

(g) In addition to the foregoing, the Plan Administrator may, from time to time, subject to the provisions of this Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator may prescribe, grant DSUs to any Participant.

6.2 DSU Account

All DSUs received by a Participant (which, for greater certainty includes Electing Persons) shall be credited to an account maintained for the Participant on the books of the Corporation, as of the Date of Grant. The terms and conditions of each DSU grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement.

6.3 Vesting of DSUs

Subject to TSXV Policy 4.4, the Plan Administrator shall have the authority to determine the vesting terms applicable to grants of DSUs.

6.4 Settlement of DSUs

(a) DSUs shall be settled on the date established in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding, in no event shall a DSU Award be settled prior to the applicable Participant's retirement, termination of employment or directorship or death, or later than one (1) year following the date of the applicable Participant's retirement, termination of employment or directorship or death. If the Award Agreement does not establish a date for the settlement of the DSUs, then the settlement date shall be the date of the Participant's retirement, termination of employment or directorship or death. Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, on the settlement date for any DSU, each vested DSU will be redeemed for:

(i) one fully paid and non-assessable Share issued from treasury to the Participant or as the Participant may direct, or
(ii) a cash payment, or
(iii) a combination of Shares and cash as contemplated by paragraphs (i) and (ii) above, in each case as determined by the Plan Administrator in its discretion.

(b) Any cash payments made under this Section 6.4 by the Corporation 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 on the settlement date.

(c) Payment of cash to Participants on the redemption of vested DSUs may be made through the Corporation's payroll in the pay period that the settlement date falls within.

8.2 Terms of PSUs

The Performance Goals to be achieved during any performance period, the length of any performance period, the amount of any PSUs granted, the termination of a Participant’s employment and the amount of any payment or transfer to be made pursuant to any PSU will be determined by the Plan Administrator and by the other terms and conditions of any PSU, all as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

Subject to prior acceptance of the Exchange, the Plan Administrator may, from time to time, subject to the provisions of this Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator may prescribe, grant Other Share-Based Awards to any Participant. The terms and conditions of each Other Share-Based Award grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement.

Subject to prior acceptance of the Exchange, the terms of this Plan, and any applicable Award Agreement, the Plan Administrator will determine the terms and conditions of Other Share-Based Awards. Shares or other securities delivered pursuant to a purchase right granted under this Article 9 will be purchased for such consideration, which may be paid by such method or methods and in such form or forms, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards, other property, or any combination thereof, as the Plan Administrator shall determine in its discretion.

ARTICLE 10 ADDITIONAL AWARD TERMS

10.1 Dividend Equivalents

(a) Unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the particular Award Agreement, and subject to the restrictions of the Exchange set out in Subsection 3.7(a) above (if the Corporation is subject to the policies of the TSXV), as part of a Participant’s grant of DSUs, PSUs or RSUs (as applicable) and in respect of the services provided by the Participant for such original grant, DSUs, PSUs and RSUs (as applicable) shall be credited with dividend equivalents in the form of additional DSUs, PSUs or RSUs, as applicable, as of each dividend payment date in respect of which normal cash dividends are paid on Shares. Such dividend equivalents shall be in the amount a Participant would have received if the DSUs, PSUs or RSUs had been settled for Shares on the record date of such dividend. Dividend equivalents credited to a Participant’s account shall be subject to the same terms and conditions, including vesting and time of settlement, as the

Block DocID


-22-

DSUs, PSUs or RSUs, as applicable, to which they relate. Notwithstanding any other terms of this Plan, if the number of securities issued as dividend equivalents, together with all of the Corporation’s other share-based compensation would exceed any of the limits set forth in this Plan or TSXV Policy 4.4, then the Corporation may make payment for such dividend in cash to the extent that it does not have a sufficient number of Shares available under this Plan to satisfy its obligations in respect of such dividends. Notwithstanding the above, a Canadian Participant shall not receive, nor be entitled to, a Dividend Equivalent in the form of cash with respect to a DSU or RSU.

(b) The foregoing does not obligate the Corporation to declare or pay dividends on Shares and nothing in this Plan shall be interpreted as creating such an obligation.

10.2 Blackout Period

In the event that an Award expires, at a time when an undisclosed material change or material fact in the affairs of the Corporation exists, subject to the requirements of TSXV Policy 4.4, the expiry of such Award will be extended to a date that is no later than 10 business days after the expiry of the blackout period formally imposed by the Corporation pursuant to its internal trading policies as a result of the undisclosed material change or material fact, provided that in no event will the expiry date extend beyond ten years from the Date of Grant.

10.3 Withholding Taxes

Notwithstanding any other terms of this Plan, and subject to TSXV Policy 4.4, the granting, vesting or settlement of each Award under this Plan is subject to the condition that if at any time the Plan Administrator determines, in its discretion, that the satisfaction of withholding tax or other withholding liabilities is necessary or desirable in respect of such grant, vesting or settlement, such action is not effective unless such withholding has been effected to the satisfaction of the Plan Administrator. In such circumstances, the Plan Administrator may require that a Participant pay to the Corporation the minimum amount as the Corporation or an Affiliate of the Corporation is obliged to withhold or remit to the relevant taxing authority in respect of the granting, vesting or settlement of the Award. Any such additional payment is due no later than the date on which such amount with respect to the Award is required to be remitted to the relevant tax authority by the Corporation or an Affiliate of the Corporation, as the case may be. Alternatively, and subject to any requirements or limitations under applicable law, the Corporation may (a) withhold such amount from any remuneration or other amount payable by the Corporation or any Affiliate to the Participant, (b) require the sale of a number of Shares issued upon exercise, vesting, or settlement of such Award and the remittance to the Corporation of the net proceeds from such sale sufficient to satisfy such amount, or (c) enter into any other suitable arrangements for the receipt of such amount.

10.4 Recoupment

Notwithstanding any other terms of this Plan, Awards may be subject to potential cancellation, recoupment, rescission, payback or other action in accordance with the terms of any clawback, recoupment or similar policy adopted by the Corporation or the relevant subsidiary of the Corporation and in effect at the Date of Grant of the Award, or as set out in the Participant’s employment agreement, Award Agreement or other written agreement, or as otherwise required by law or the rules of the Exchange. The Plan Administrator may at any time waive the application of this Section 10.4 to any Participant or category of Participants.

10.5 No "Salary Deferral Arrangement"

It is intended that no Option, SAR, DSU, RSU, PSU, or Other Share-Based Award granted under the Plan to a Canadian Participant constitutes a “salary deferral arrangement” as defined under the Tax Act.

ARTICLE 11

TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICES

11.1 Termination of Employment, Services or Director

Subject to Section 11.2, unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator or as set forth in an employment agreement, Award Agreement or other written agreement:

(a) where a Participant’s employment, consulting agreement or arrangement is terminated or the Participant ceases to hold office or his or her position, as applicable, by reason of voluntary resignation by the Participant or termination by the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation for Cause, then any Option or other Award held by the Participant that has not been exercised as of the Termination Date shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled as of the Termination Date;

(b) where a Participant’s employment, consulting agreement or arrangement is terminated by the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation without Cause (whether such termination occurs with or without any or adequate reasonable notice, or with or without any or adequate compensation in lieu of such reasonable notice) then, subject to the discretion of the Plan Administrator, any unvested Options or other Awards held by the Participant as of the Termination Date shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled as of the Termination Date. Any vested Options held by the Participant as of the Termination Date may be exercised or surrendered to the Corporation by the Participant at any time during the period that terminates on the earlier of: (A) the Expiry Date of such Award; and (B) the date that is thirty (30) days after the Termination Date, provided that the Plan Administrator may determine to allow a longer period of exercise of such Options or other Awards to the extent permitted by the policies of the Exchange. Any Option and other Award that remains unexercised or has not been surrendered to the Corporation by the Participant shall be immediately forfeited upon the termination of such period;

(c) where a Participant becomes Disabled, then any Option or other Award held by the Participant that has not vested as of the date of the Disability of such Participant shall continue to vest in accordance with its terms and may be exercised or surrendered to the Corporation by the Participant at any time during the period that terminates on the earlier of: (A) the Expiry Date of such Award; and (B) the first anniversary of the Participant’s date of Disability. Any Option or other Award that remains unexercised or has not been surrendered to the Corporation by the Participant shall be immediately forfeited upon the termination of such period;

(d) where a Participant’s employment, consulting agreement or arrangement is terminated by reason of the death of the Participant, then any Option or other Award held by the Participant that has not vested as of the date of the death of such Participant shall vest on such date and may be exercised or surrendered to the Corporation by the Participant at any time during the period that terminates on the earlier of: (A) the Expiry Date of such Award; and (B) the first anniversary of the date of the death of such Participant. Any Option or other Award that remains unexercised or has not been surrendered to the Corporation by the Participant shall be immediately forfeited upon the termination of such period;

(e) where a Participant’s employment, consulting agreement or arrangement is terminated due to Retirement, then any Option or other Award held by the Participant that has not vested as of the date of such Retirement shall continue to vest in accordance with its terms and may be exercised or surrendered to the Corporation by the Participant at any time during the period that terminates on the earlier of: (A) the Expiry Date of such Award; and (B) the first anniversary of the Participant’s date of Retirement. Any Option or other Award that remains unexercised or has not

been surrendered to the Corporation by the Participant shall be immediately forfeited upon the termination of such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, following his or her Retirement, the Participant commences (the "Commencement Date") employment, consulting or acting as a director (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 Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, any Option held by the Participant that has not been exercised as of the Commencement Date shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled as of the Commencement Date;

(f) a Participant’s eligibility to receive further grants of Options or other Awards under this Plan ceases as of:

(i) the date that the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation, as the case may be, provides the Participant with written notification that the Participant’s employment, consulting agreement or arrangement is terminated, notwithstanding that such date may be prior to the Termination Date; or
(ii) the date of the death, Disability or Retirement of the Participant; and

(g) notwithstanding Subsection 11.1(a), unless the Plan Administrator, in its discretion, otherwise determines, at any time and from time to time, Options or other Awards are not affected by a change of employment or consulting agreement or arrangement, or directorship within or among the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation for so long as the Participant continues to be a Director, Officer Employee, Management Company Employee or Consultant, as applicable, of the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation.

11.2 Discretion to Permit Acceleration

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.1 but subject to compliance with the policies of the Exchange, the Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, at any time prior to, or following the events contemplated in such Section, or in an employment agreement, Award Agreement or other written agreement between the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation and the Participant, permit the acceleration of vesting of any or all Awards or waive termination of any or all Awards, all in the manner and on the terms as may be authorized by the Plan Administrator.

11.3 Participants' Entitlement

Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, Awards previously granted under this Plan are not affected by any change in the relationship between, or ownership of, the Corporation and an Affiliate of the Corporation. For greater certainty, all grants of Awards remain outstanding and are not affected by reason only that, at any time, an Affiliate of the Corporation ceases to be an Affiliate of the Corporation.

ARTICLE 12 EVENTS AFFECTING THE CORPORATION

12.1 General

The existence of any Awards does not affect in any way the right or power of the Corporation or its shareholders to make, authorize or determine any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or any other change in the Corporation’s capital structure or its business, or any amalgamation, combination, arrangement, merger or consolidation involving the Corporation, to create or issue any bonds, debentures, Shares or other securities of the Corporation or to determine the rights and conditions attaching thereto, to effect the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation or any sale or transfer of all or substantially all or any other part of its assets or business, or to effect

Block DocID


-25-

any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise, whether or not any such action referred to in this Article 12 would have an adverse effect on this Plan or on any Award granted hereunder.

12.2 Change in Control

(a) The Plan Administrator may, without the consent of any Participant, take such steps as it deems necessary or desirable, including to cause: (i) subject to prior acceptance by the Exchange, the conversion or exchange of any outstanding Awards into or for, rights or other securities of substantially equivalent value, as determined by the Plan Administrator in its discretion, in any entity participating in or resulting from a Change in Control; (ii) outstanding Awards to immediately vest and become exercisable, realizable, or payable, or restrictions applicable to an Award to lapse, in whole or in part prior to or upon consummation of such Change in Control, and, to the extent the Plan Administrator determines, terminate upon or immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Change in Control, provided that such Participant ceases to be an eligible Participant under this Plan upon such Change of Control; (iii) subject to prior acceptance by the Exchange, the termination of an Award in exchange for an amount of cash and/or property, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise or settlement of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction net of any exercise price payable by the Participant (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction the Plan Administrator determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise or settlement of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights net of any exercise price payable by the Participant, then such Award may be terminated by the Corporation without payment); (iv) subject to prior acceptance by the Exchange, the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Board in its sole discretion; or (v) subject to prior acceptance by the Exchange, any combination of the foregoing. In taking any of the actions permitted under this Subsection 12.2(a), the Plan Administrator will not be required to treat all Awards similarly in the transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of Options held by a Canadian Participant, the Plan Administrator shall to the extent possible cause a Canadian Participant to receive (pursuant to this Subsection 12.2(a)) property in connection with a Change of Control that complies with subsection 7(1.4) of the Tax Act in order to provide a tax-deferral for the Canadian Participant in respect of Options that are in-the-money.

(b) Notwithstanding Subsection 12.2(a), and unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator, if, as a result of a Change in Control, the Shares will cease trading on an Exchange, then the Corporation may terminate all of the Awards granted under this Plan (other than Options held by Canadian Participants) 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 Plan Administrator, acting reasonably, or in the case of Options held by a Canadian Participant by permitting the Canadian Participant to surrender such Options to the Corporation for an amount for each such Option equal to the fair market value of such Option as determined by the Plan Administrator, acting reasonably, upon the completion of the Change in Control (following which such Options may be cancelled for no consideration).

(c) Any actions taken under this Section 11.2 will comply with the policies of the Exchange including, without limitation, the requirement that the acceleration of vesting of Options granted to Investor Relations Service Providers shall only occur with the prior written approval of the Exchange.

12.3 Reorganization of Corporation’s Capital

Subject to the prior approval of the Exchange, if applicable, should the Corporation effect a subdivision or consolidation of Shares or any similar capital reorganization or a payment of a stock dividend (other than a stock dividend that is in lieu of a cash dividend), or should any other change be made in the capitalization of the Corporation that does not constitute a Change in Control and that would warrant the amendment or replacement of any existing Awards in order to adjust the number of Shares that may be acquired on the vesting of outstanding Awards and/or the terms of any Award in order to preserve proportionately the rights and obligations of the Participants holding such Awards, then the Plan Administrator in consultation with the Board will take such steps as are required to preserve the proportionality of the rights and obligations of the Participants holding such Awards as it deems equitable and appropriate.

12.4 Other Events Affecting the Corporation

In the event of an amalgamation, combination, arrangement, merger or other transaction or reorganization involving the Corporation and occurring by exchange of Shares, by sale or lease of assets or otherwise, that does not constitute a Change in Control and that warrants the amendment or replacement of any existing Awards in order to adjust the number of Shares that may be acquired on the vesting of outstanding Awards and/or the terms of any Award in order to preserve proportionately the rights and obligations of the Participants holding such Awards, the Plan Administrator will, subject to the prior approval of the Exchange (if required), authorize such steps to be taken as it may consider to be equitable and appropriate to that end.

12.5 Immediate Acceleration of Awards

In taking any of the steps provided in Sections 12.3 and 12.4, the Plan Administrator will not be required to treat all Awards similarly and where the Plan Administrator determines that the steps provided in Sections 12.3 and 12.4, would not preserve proportionately the rights, value and obligations of the Participants holding such Awards in the circumstances or otherwise determines that it is appropriate, the Plan Administrator may, but is not required, to permit the immediate vesting of any unvested Awards, other than any Options granted to an Investor Relations Service Provider.

12.6 Issue by Corporation of Additional Shares

Except as expressly provided in this Article 12, neither the issue by the Corporation of shares of any class or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any class, nor the conversion or exchange of such shares or securities, affects, and no adjustment by reason thereof is to be made with respect to the number of Shares that may be acquired as a result of a grant of Awards or other entitlements of the Participants under such Awards.

12.7 Fractions

No fractional Shares will be issued pursuant to an Award. Accordingly, (whether as a result of any adjustment under this Article 12, a dividend equivalent or otherwise), a Participant would become entitled to a fractional Share, the Participant has the right to acquire only the adjusted number of whole Shares and no payment or other adjustment will be made with respect to the fractional Shares, which shall be disregarded.

The Plan Administrator may from time to time, without notice and without approval of the holders of voting shares of the Corporation, amend, modify, change, suspend or terminate the Plan or any Awards granted pursuant to the Plan as it, in its discretion, determines appropriate, provided, however, that:

(a) no such amendment, modification, change, suspension or termination of the Plan or any Awards granted hereunder may materially impair any rights of a Participant or materially increase any obligations of a Participant under the Plan without the consent of the Participant, unless the Plan Administrator determines such adjustment is required or desirable in order to comply with any applicable Securities Laws or Exchange requirements; and

13.2 Shareholder Approval

Notwithstanding Section 13.1 and subject to any rules of the Exchange, approval of the holders of the Shares (including by way of Disinterested Shareholder Approval where required by the Exchange) shall be required for any amendment, modification or change that:

(a) increases the percentage of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, except pursuant to the provisions in the Plan which permit the Plan Administrator to make equitable adjustments in the event of transactions affecting the Corporation or its capital;

(b) increases or removes the limitations set out in Subsection 3.7(a);

(c) allows for the grant to Insiders (as a group), within a 12 month period, an aggregate number of Awards exceeding 10% of the Corporation’s issued Shares, calculated at the date the Award is granted to the Insider;

(e) reduces the exercise price of an Award of Options to an Insider (for this purpose, a cancellation or termination of an Award of a Participant prior to its Expiry Date for the purpose of reissuing an Award to the same Participant with a lower exercise price shall be treated as an amendment to reduce the exercise price of an Award);

(f) extends the term of an Award of Options to an Insider beyond the original Expiry Date (except where an Expiry Date would have fallen within a blackout period applicable to the Participant);

(g) increases or removes the limits on the participation of Directors;

(a) making any amendments to the general vesting provisions of each Award;
(b) making any amendments to the provisions set out in Article 11;
(c) making any amendments to add covenants of the Corporation for the protection of Participants, as the case may be, provided that the Plan Administrator shall be of the good faith opinion that such additions will not be prejudicial to the rights or interests of the Participants, as the case may be;
(d) making any amendments not inconsistent with the Plan as may be necessary or desirable with respect to matters or questions which, in the good faith opinion of the Plan Administrator, having in mind the best interests of the Participants, it may be expedient to make, including amendments that are desirable as a result of changes in law in any jurisdiction where a Participant resides, provided that the Plan Administrator shall be of the opinion that such amendments and modifications will not be prejudicial to the interests of the Participants and Directors; or
(e) making such changes or corrections which, on the advice of counsel to the Corporation, are required for the purpose of curing or correcting any ambiguity or defect or inconsistent provision or clerical omission or mistake or manifest error or provide added protection or benefit to Participants, provided that the Plan Administrator shall be of the opinion that such changes or corrections will not be prejudicial to the rights and interests of the Participants.

ARTICLE 14 MISCELLANEOUS

14.1 Legal Requirement

The Corporation is not obligated to grant any Awards, issue any Shares or other securities, make any payments or take any other action if, in the opinion of the Plan Administrator, in its discretion, such action would constitute a violation by a Participant or the Corporation of any provision of any applicable statutory or regulatory enactment of any government or government agency or the requirements of any Exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed.

14.2 No Other Benefit

No amount will be paid to, or in respect of, a Participant under the Plan to compensate for a downward fluctuation in the price of a Share, nor will any other form of benefit be conferred upon, or in respect of, a Participant for such purpose.

14.3 Rights of Participant

No Participant has any claim or right to be granted an Award and the granting of any Award is not to be construed as giving a Participant a right to remain as a Director, Officer, Employee, Management Company Employee or Consultant. No Participant has any rights as a shareholder of the Corporation in respect of Shares issuable pursuant to any Award until the allotment and issuance of such Shares to such Participant, or as such Participant may direct, of certificates representing such Shares.

14.4 Corporate Action

Nothing contained in this Plan or in an Award shall be construed so as to prevent the Corporation from taking corporate action which is determined by the Corporation to be appropriate or in its best interest, whether or not such action would have an adverse effect on this Plan or any Award.

14.5 Conflict

Subject to compliance with the policies of the Exchange, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Plan and an Award Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. In the event of any conflict between or among the provisions of this Plan or any Award Agreement, on the one hand, and a Participant’s employment agreement with the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation, as the case may be, on the other hand, the provisions of the Plan shall prevail.

14.6 Anti-Hedging Policy

By accepting the Option or Award each Participant acknowledges that he or she is restricted from purchasing financial instruments such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, or units of exchange funds that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of Options or Awards.

14.7 Participant Information

Each Participant shall provide the Corporation with all information (including personal information) required by the Corporation in order to administer the Plan (including as to whether the circumstances described in Section 11.1(e) exist). Each Participant acknowledges that information required by the Corporation in order to administer the Plan may be disclosed to any custodian appointed in respect of the Plan and other third parties, and may be disclosed to such persons (including persons located in jurisdictions other than the Participant’s jurisdiction of residence), in connection with the administration of the Plan. Each Participant consents to such disclosure and authorizes the Corporation to make such disclosure on the Participant’s behalf.

14.8 Participation in the Plan

The participation of any Participant in the Plan is entirely voluntary and not obligatory and shall not be interpreted as conferring upon such Participant any rights or privileges other than those rights and privileges expressly provided in the Plan. In particular, participation in the Plan does not constitute a condition of employment or engagement nor a commitment on the part of the Corporation to ensure the continued employment or engagement of such Participant. The Plan does not provide any guarantee against any loss which may result from fluctuations in the market value of the Shares. The Corporation does not assume responsibility for the income or other tax consequences for the Participants and Participants are advised to consult with their own tax advisors in respect of any participation in the Plan or the grant or exercise of any Awards thereunder.

14.10 Successors and Assigns

The Plan shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Corporation and its subsidiaries.

14.11 General Restrictions on Assignment

Except as required by law, the rights of a Participant under the Plan are not capable of being assigned, transferred, alienated, sold, encumbered, pledged, mortgaged or charged and are not capable of being subject to attachment or legal process for the payment of any debts or obligations of the Participant unless otherwise approved by the Plan Administrator.

14.12 Severability

The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the Plan shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision and any invalid or unenforceable provision shall be severed from the Plan.

14.13 Effective Date

This Plan becomes effective on a date to be determined by the Plan Administrator, subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Corporation.

14.14 Governing Law
