MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

(Containing information as at November 13, 2025 unless indicated otherwise)

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This Management Information Circular (the "Circular") is furnished to holders of common shares (the "Common Shares", and such shareholders, the "Shareholders") in connection with the solicitation of proxies by or on behalf of the management of Enduro Metals Corporation (the "Company" or "Enduro Metals") for use at the annual general meeting (the "Meeting") of Shareholders to be held at the offices of the Company at #1100 – 1111 Melville Street, Vancouver, BC V6E 3V6 on Thursday, December 18, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice of the Meeting.

The board of directors of the Company (the "Board") has fixed the close of business on November 13, 2025, as the record date, being the date for the determination of the registered Shareholders entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting (the "Record Date").

ALL SHAREHOLDERS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO VOTE BY SUBMITTING THEIR COMPLETED FORM OF PROXY (OR VOTING INSTRUCTION FORM) PRIOR TO THE MEETING BY ONE OF THE MEANS DESCRIBED IN THIS CIRCULAR.

The solicitation of proxies is made on behalf of the management of the Company. The solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, but proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone by directors or officers of the Company. The Company will bear all costs of this solicitation. The Company has arranged for Intermediaries (as defined below) to forward the Meeting Materials, as defined below, to Beneficial Shareholders held of record by those Intermediaries and the Company will not reimburse the Intermediaries for their fees and disbursements in that regard.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider, and if deemed advisable, approve certain annual general matters, as well as ratify and approve the Company's equity incentive plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan"), and to consider such other matters as may properly come before the Meeting.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXYHOLDER

The purpose of a proxy is to designate persons who will vote the proxy on a Shareholder's behalf in accordance with the instructions given by the shareholder in the proxy. The persons whose names are printed in the enclosed form of proxy are officers or directors of the Company (the "Management Proxyholders").

A Shareholder has the right to appoint a person other than a Management Proxyholder, to represent the Shareholder at the Meeting by striking out the names of the Management Proxyholders and by inserting the desired person's name in the blank space provided or by executing a proxy in a form similar to the enclosed form. A proxyholder need not be a Shareholder.

VOTING BY PROXY

Only registered Shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Shares represented by a properly executed proxy will be voted or be withheld from voting on each matter referred to in the Notice of Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder on any ballot that may be called for and if the shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Shares will be voted accordingly.

If a Shareholder does not specify a choice and the Shareholder has appointed one of the Management Proxyholders as proxyholder, the Management Proxyholder will vote in favor of the matters specified in the Notice of Meeting and in favor of all other matters proposed by management at the Meeting.

The enclosed form of proxy also gives discretionary authority to the person named therein as proxyholder with respect to


2

amendments or variations to matters identified the Notice of the Meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the date of this Information Circular, management of the Company knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting.

COMPLETION AND RETURN OF PROXY

Completed forms of proxy must be deposited at the office of the Company's registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc., 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, not later than forty-eight (48) hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, prior to the time of the Meeting, unless the chairman of the Meeting elects to exercise his discretion to accept proxies received subsequently.

Record Date

The Board has fixed November 13, 2025 as the Record Date for determination of persons entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting. Only Shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date who either attend the Meeting personally or complete, sign and deliver a form of proxy in the manner and subject to the provisions described herein will be entitled to vote or to have their Shares voted at the Meeting.

NON-REGISTERED HOLDERS

Only registered holders of Common Shares or the persons they appoint as their proxies are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Many Shareholders are "non-registered" Shareholders ("Non-Registered Shareholders") because the Common Shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead either (i) registered in the name of an intermediary (the "Intermediary") that the Non-Registered Shareholder deals with in respect of the Common Shares, such as, among others, brokerage firms, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans, or (ii) in the name of a clearing agency (such as the Canadian Depository for Securities Limited) of which the Intermediary is a participant. In accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 54-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators ("NI 54-101"), the Company has distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting, this Circular and the enclosed form of proxy (collectively the "Meeting Materials") to Intermediaries and clearing agencies for onward distribution to Non-Registered Shareholders of Common Shares.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Shareholders unless a Non- Registered Shareholder has waived the right to receive them. Intermediaries often use service companies to forward the meeting materials to Non-Registered Shareholders. A Non-Registered Shareholder who has not waived the right to receive the Meeting Materials will either:

a) be given a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number of shares beneficially owned by the Non- Registered Shareholder but which is not otherwise completed. Since the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the Non- Registered Shareholder when submitting the proxy. In this case, the Non-Registered Shareholder who wishes to vote by proxy should otherwise properly complete the form of proxy and deliver it as specified above under "Deposit of Proxy"; or

b) more typically, be given a voting instruction form which must be completed and signed by the Non- Registered Shareholder and returned to the Intermediary or its service company (frequently Broadridge Investor Communications) in accordance with the directions accompanying the voting instruction form. A Non-Registered Shareholder receiving a voting instruction form cannot use that form to vote the common shares held by such Non-Registered Shareholder directly at the Meeting.

In either case, the purpose of these procedures is to permit the Non-Registered Shareholder to direct the voting of the Common Shares that the Non-Registered Shareholder beneficially owns. Should a Non-Registered Shareholder wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on behalf of the Non-Registered Shareholder), the Non-Registered Shareholder should strike out the persons named in the form of proxy and insert his or her name in the space provided for that purpose on the voting instructions form and return it in accordance with the directions of the Intermediary.

The Non-Registered Shareholder should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when and where the proxy or voting instructions form is to be delivered.

A Non-Registered Shareholder may revoke a form of proxy or voting instructions form given to an Intermediary by contacting the Intermediary through which the Non-Registered Shareholder's Common Shares are held and following the instructions of the Intermediary respecting the revocation of proxies. In order to ensure that an Intermediary acts upon a revocation of a proxy form or voting instruction form, the written notice should be received by the Intermediary well in advance of the Meeting.


3

Management of the Company does not intend to pay for Intermediaries to forward to objecting beneficial owners ("OBOs") under NI 54-101 the proxy-related materials and Form 54-101F7 - Request for Voting Instructions Made by Intermediary. An OBO is a Non-Registered Shareholder that objects to their intermediary disclosing their ownership information.

REVOCABILITY OF PROXY

Any registered Shareholder who has returned a proxy may revoke it at any time before it has been exercised. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a registered Shareholder, his attorney authorized in writing or, if the registered Shareholder is a corporation, a corporation under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized, may revoke a proxy by instrument in writing, including a proxy bearing a later date. The instrument revoking the proxy must be deposited at the registered office of the Company, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or with the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting. Only registered Shareholders have the right to revoke a proxy. Non-Registered Shareholders who wish to change their vote must, at least 7 days before the Meeting, arrange for their Intermediaries to revoke the proxy on their behalf.

VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares, of which 76,037,759 Common Shares are issued and outstanding as of November 13, 2025, the Record Date for the Meeting. Persons who are registered Shareholders at the close of business on November 13, 2025 will be entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting and will be entitled to one vote for each share held.

To the knowledge of the Directors and executive officers of the Company, no person beneficially owns, controls or directs, directly or indirectly, Common Shares carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to all shares of the Company.

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

No director or executive officer of the Company, or any person who has held such a position since the incorporation of the Company, nor any associate or affiliate 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 on at the Meeting.

BUSINESS OF THE MEETING

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company's audited financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2024, will be placed before Shareholders at the Meeting. These financial statements have been electronically filed with regulators and are available for viewing through the internet on the SEDAR+ website at www.sedarplus.ca. Copies of the financial statements will also be available upon request by any Shareholder who wishes to receive copies. To request copies, please contact the Company at: #1100 – 1111 Melville Street, Vancouver, BC V6E 3V6.

2. SETTING NUMBER OF DIRECTORS

The persons named in the enclosed Proxy intend to vote in favor of fixing the number of directors at six (6). The Board proposes that the number of directors be fixed at six (6). Shareholders will therefore be asked to approve an ordinary resolution that the number of directors elected be fixed at six (6).

3. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The term of office of each of the current directors will end at this Meeting. Unless the director's office is earlier vacated in accordance with the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "BCBCA"), each director elected will hold office until the next annual general meeting of the Company, or if no director is then elected, until a successor is elected.

The following table sets out the names of management's nominees for election as directors (the "Nominees"), all major offices and positions with the Company and any of its significant affiliates each now holds, each nominee's principal occupation, business or employment (for the five preceding years for new director nominees), the period of time during which each has been a director of the Company and the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by each, directly or indirectly, or over which each exercised control or direction, as at the Record Date.


Management of the Company recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the Nominees for election as directors. Unless you give other instructions, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote FOR the election of the Nominees as directors of the Company.

5. RATIFICATION OF EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider, and if deemed appropriate, approve, with or without variation, an ordinary resolution to ratify and re-approve the Company's Equity Incentive Plan. The following information is intended as a brief description of the Equity Incentive Plan and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Equity Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Appendix "B".


6

Purpose

The purpose of the Equity Incentive Plan is to promote the long-term success of the Company and the creation of Shareholder value by: (i) encouraging the attraction and retention of eligible persons; (ii) encouraging such eligible persons to focus on critical long-term objectives; and (iii) promoting greater alignment of the interests of such eligible persons with the interests of the Company.

The Equity Incentive Plan provides flexibility to the Company to grant equity-based incentive awards in the form of Options, RSUs, PSUs and DSUs to eligible persons.

Shares Subject to the Equity Incentive Plan

The Equity Incentive Plan is a rolling 10% plan such that the aggregate number of Common Shares that may be issued upon the exercise or settlement of all Security-Based Compensation Arrangements (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan) shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares outstanding from time to time. Common Shares that were the subject of any Awards (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan) made under the Equity Incentive Plan that have been settled in cash, or that have been cancelled, terminated, surrendered, forfeited or have expired without being exercised, and pursuant to which no securities have been issued, may continue to be issuable under the Equity Incentive Plan.

Participation Limits

The Equity Incentive Plan provides that:

a) unless the Company has obtained disinterested shareholder approval, the maximum aggregate number of Common Shares issuable to any Participant under the Equity Incentive Plan, within any 12 month period and at any point in time under Equity Incentive Plan, together with Common Shares reserved for issuance to such Participant (and to companies wholly-owned by that participant) under all of the Company's other Security-Based Compensation Arrangements, shall not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (calculated as at the date of any grant);

b) unless the Company has obtained disinterested shareholder approval, the maximum aggregate number of Common Shares issuable to insiders under the Equity Incentive Plan, within any 12 month period, together with Common Shares reserved for issuance to insiders under all of the Company's other Security-Based Compensation Arrangements, shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (calculated as at the date of any grant);

c) unless the Company has obtained disinterested shareholder approval, the maximum aggregate number of Common Shares issuable to insiders under the Equity Incentive Plan, at any point in time, together with Common Shares reserved for issuance to insiders under all of the Company's other Security-Based Compensation Arrangements, shall not exceed 10% percent of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (calculated as at the date of any grant);

d) the maximum aggregate number of Common Shares issuable to any one consultant (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan) under the Equity Incentive Plan, within any 12 month period, together with Common Shares issuable to such consultant under all of the Company's other Security-Based Compensation Arrangements, shall not exceed 2% percent of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (calculated as at the date of any grant); and

e) the maximum aggregate number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to grants of Options to all investor relation service providers performing investor relations activities under the Equity Incentive Plan, within any 12 month period, shall not in aggregate exceed 2% percent of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (calculated as at the date of any grant). For the avoidance of doubt, persons performing investor relations activities are only eligible to receive Options under the Equity Incentive Plan; they are not eligible to receive any Performance-Based Award or other type of securities-based compensation under the Equity Incentive Plan.

Administration of the Equity Incentive Plan

The Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the Board and the Board has full authority to administer the Equity Incentive Plan, including the authority to interpret and construe any provision of the Equity Incentive Plan and to adopt, amend and rescind such rules and regulations for administering the Equity Incentive Plan as the Board may deem necessary in order to comply with the requirements of the Equity Incentive Plan.


7

Eligible Persons under the Equity Incentive Plan

When used in connection with the grant of Options, all officers, directors, employees, management company employees and consultants of the Company are eligible to participate in the Equity Incentive Plan. When used in connection with the grant of Performance-Based Awards, all officers, directors, employees, management company employees and consultants of the Company that do not perform investor relations activities are eligible to participate in the Equity Incentive Plan. The extent to which any such individual is entitled to receive a grant of an award pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan will be determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board. Each person who receives a grant under the Equity Incentive Plan is referred to as a "Participant".

Types of Awards

Awards of Options, RSUs, PSUs and DSUs may be made under the Equity Incentive Plan. All of the awards described below are subject to the conditions, limitations, restrictions, exercise price, vesting, settlement and forfeiture provisions determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, subject to such limitations provided in the Equity Incentive Plan and will generally be evidenced by an award agreement.

Options

Each Option entitles a holder thereof to purchase a prescribed number of Common Shares at an exercise price determined by the Board at the time of the grant of the Option, provided that the exercise price of an Option granted under the Equity Incentive Plan shall not be less than the Discounted Market Price (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan), provided that if an Option is proposed to be granted by the Company after the Company has just been recalled for trading following a suspension or halt, the Company must wait at least 10 trading days since the day on which trading in the Company's securities resumes before setting the exercise price for and granting the Option. Each Option shall, unless sooner terminated, expire on a date to be determined by the Board which will not exceed 10 years from the date of grant of the Option. The Board may, in its absolute discretion, upon granting Options under the Equity Incentive Plan, specify different time periods following the dates of granting the Options during which the Participant may exercise their Options to purchase Common Shares and may designate different exercise prices and numbers of Common Shares in respect of which each Participant may exercise Options during each respective time period. Subject to the discretion of the Board, the Options granted to a Participant under the Equity Incentive Plan shall vest as determined by the Board on the date of grant of such Options. If the Board does not specify a vesting schedule at the date of grant, then Options granted to persons, other than those conducting investor relations activities, shall vest fully on the date of grant, and in any event in accordance with the policies of the TSXV. Options issued to persons conducting investor relations activities must vest (and shall not otherwise be exercisable) in stages over a minimum of 12 months such that: (a) no more than 1/4 of the Options vest no sooner than 3 months after the date of grant; (b) no more than another 1/4 of the Options vest no sooner than 6 months after the date of grant; (c) no more than another 1/4 of the Options vest no sooner than 9 months after the date of grant; and (d) the remainder of the Options vest no sooner than 12 months after the date of grant.

If the award agreement for the grant of Options so provides, in the event of a change of control (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan), all Options granted to a Participant who ceases to be an eligible person shall become fully vested and shall become exercisable by the Participant in accordance with the terms of such award agreement and the Equity Incentive Plan. No acceleration of the vesting of any Options shall be permitted without prior Exchange review and acceptance for Options issued to persons conducting investor relations activities.

Other than as may be set forth in the award agreement for the grant of Options, upon the death of a Participant, any Options granted to such Participant which, prior to the Participant's death, have not vested, will immediately terminate without payment, be forfeited and cancelled and shall be of no further force or effect; and the Participant or their estate, as the case may be, shall have no right, title or interest therein whatsoever. Any Options granted to such Participant which, prior to the Participant's death, had vested pursuant to the terms of the applicable Award Agreement will accrue to the Participant's estate in accordance with Equity Incentive Plan.

Where a Participant's relationship with the Company is terminated by the Company or a subsidiary for cause, all Options granted to the Participant under the Equity Incentive Plan will immediately terminate without payment, be forfeited and cancelled and shall be of no further force or effect as of the termination date.

Where a Participant's relationship with the Company terminates by reason of termination by the Company or a subsidiary without cause, by voluntary termination, voluntary resignation or due to retirement by the Participant, such that the Participant no longer qualifies as an eligible person, all Options granted to the Participant under the Equity Incentive Plan that have not vested will, unless the applicable award agreement provides otherwise and subject to the provisions below, immediately terminate without payment, be forfeited and cancelled and shall be of no further force or effect as of the termination date; provided, however, that any Options granted to such Participant which, prior to the Participant's termination without cause, voluntary termination, voluntary resignation or retirement, had vested pursuant to the terms of the applicable award agreement will accrue to the Participant in accordance with the Equity Incentive Plan and shall be exercisable by such Participant for a period of 90 days following the date the Participant ceased to be an eligible person, or such longer period as may be provided for in the award agreement or as may be determined by the Board provided such period does not


8

exceed 12 months after the termination date.

Where a Participant becomes afflicted by a disability, all Options granted to the Participant under the Equity Incentive Plan will continue to vest in accordance with the terms of such Options; provided, however, that no Options may be redeemed during a leave of absence. Where a Participant's relationship is terminated due to disability such that the Participant ceases to be an eligible person, all Options granted to the Participant under the Equity Incentive Plan that have not vested will, unless the applicable award agreement provides otherwise and subject to the provisions below, immediately terminate without payment, be forfeited and cancelled and shall be of no further force or effect as of the termination date; provided, however, that any Options granted to such Participant which, prior to the termination of the Participant's relationship with the Company due to disability, had vested pursuant to terms of the applicable award agreement, will accrue to the Participant in accordance with the Equity Incentive Plan and shall be exercisable by such Participant for a period of 90 days following the termination date, or such longer period as may be provided for in the award agreement or as may be determined by the Board, provided such period does not exceed 12 months after the termination date.

Participants may elect to undertake (i) a broker assisted "cashless exercise" pursuant to which the Company or its designee may deliver a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker engaged for such purposes by the Company to sell the Common Shares otherwise deliverable upon the exercise of Options and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the exercise price and all applicable required withholding obligations against delivery of the Common Shares to settle the applicable trade; or (ii) a "net exercise" procedure effected by the Company withholding the minimum number of Common Shares otherwise deliverable in respect of an Option that are needed to pay for the exercise price and all applicable required withholding obligations, such that the number of Common Shares received by the Participant is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing: (A) the product of the number of Options being exercised multiplied by the difference between the VWAP (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan) of the underlying Common Shares and the exercise price of the subject Options; by (B) the VWAP of the underlying Common Shares. A "net exercise" may not be undertaken by Participants engaged in investor relations activities.

Restricted Share Units

A RSU is a right awarded to a Participant, as compensation for employment or consulting services or services as a director or officer, to receive for no additional cash consideration, securities of the Company upon specified vesting criteria being satisfied, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Incentive Plan and the applicable award agreement, and which may be paid in cash and/or Common Shares. The number of RSUs to be credited to each Participant shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion in accordance with the Equity Incentive Plan. All RSUs will vest and become payable by the issuance of Common Shares at the end of the restriction period if all applicable restrictions have lapsed, as such restrictions may be specified in the award agreement.

RSUs shall be subject to such restrictions as the Board, in its sole discretion, may establish in the applicable award agreement, which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such time or times and on such terms, conditions and satisfaction of objectives as the Board may, in its discretion, determine at the time a RSU is granted. The Board shall determine any vesting terms applicable to the grant of RSUs, however, no RSUs may vest before the date that is 12 months following the date of the award.

If the award agreement so provides, in the event of a change of control (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan) pursuant to which a Participant ceases to be an eligible person, all restrictions upon any RSUs shall lapse immediately and all such RSUs shall become fully vested in the Participant in accordance with the Equity Incentive Plan.

Upon the death of a Participant, any RSUs granted to such Participant which, prior to the Participant's death, have not vested, will be immediately and automatically forfeited and cancelled without further action and without any cost or payment, and the Participant or their estate, as the case may be, shall have no right, title or interest therein whatsoever. Any RSUs granted to such Participant which, prior to the Participant's death, had vested pursuant to the terms of the applicable award agreement will accrue to the Participant's estate in accordance with the Equity Incentive Plan.

Where a Participant's relationship with the Company is terminated by the Company or a subsidiary for cause, all RSUs granted to the Participant under the Equity Incentive Plan will immediately terminate without payment, be forfeited and cancelled and shall be of no further force or effect as of the termination date. Where a Participant's relationship with the Company terminates by reason of termination by the Company or a subsidiary without cause, by voluntary termination, voluntary resignation or due to retirement by the Participant, all RSUs granted to the Participant under the Equity Incentive Plan that have not vested will, subject to the provisions below, immediately terminate without payment, be forfeited and cancelled and shall be of no further force or effect as of the termination date and the Participant shall have no right, title or interest therein whatsoever; provided, however, that any RSUs granted to such Participant which, prior to the Participant's termination without cause, voluntary termination, voluntary resignation or retirement, had vested pursuant to the terms of the applicable award agreement will accrue to the Participant in accordance with the Equity Incentive Plan.

Where a Participant becomes afflicted by a disability, all RSUs granted to the Participant under the Equity Incentive Plan will continue to vest in accordance with the terms of such RSUs; provided, however, that no RSUs may be redeemed during a leave of absence. Where


9

a Participant's relationship is terminated due to disability such that the Participant ceases to be an eligible person, all RSUs granted to the Participant under the Equity Incentive Plan that have not vested will, unless the applicable award agreement provides otherwise and subject to the provisions below, immediately terminate without payment, be forfeited and cancelled and shall be of no further force or effect as of the termination date and the Participant shall have no right, title or interest therein whatsoever; provided, however, that any RSUs granted to such Participant which, prior to the Participant's termination due to disability, had vested pursuant to terms of the applicable award agreement will accrue to the Participant in accordance with the Equity Incentive Plan.

As soon as practicable after each vesting date of an RSU, the Company shall, at the sole discretion of the Board, either: (a) issue to the Participant from treasury the number of Common Shares equal to the number of RSUs that have vested; or (b) make a cash payment in an amount equal to the Market Unit Price (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan) on the next trading day after the vesting date of the RSUs, net of applicable withholdings.

Performance Share Units

A PSU is a right awarded to a Participant, as compensation for employment or consulting services or services as a director or officer, to receive, for no additional cash consideration, securities of the Company upon specified performance and vesting criteria being satisfied, subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Incentive Plan and the applicable award agreement, and which may be paid in cash and/or Common Shares.

Subject to the provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Board may prescribe, the Board may, from time to time, grant awards of PSUs to eligible persons that do not perform investor relations activities. The number of PSUs to be awarded to any Participant shall be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, in accordance with the Equity Incentive Plan. Each PSU shall, contingent upon the attainment of the performance criteria within the performance cycle, represent one Common Share.

The Board will select, settle and determine the performance criteria (including without limitation the attainment thereof), for purposes of the vesting of the PSUs, in its sole discretion. An award agreement may provide the Board with the right to revise the performance criteria and the award amounts if unforeseen events (including, without limitation, changes in capitalization, an equity restructuring, an acquisition or a divestiture) occur which have a substantial effect on the financial results and which in the sole judgement of the Board make the application of the performance criteria unfair unless a revision is made.

All PSUs will vest and become payable to the extent that the performance criteria set forth in the award agreement are satisfied in the performance cycle, the determination of which satisfaction shall be made by the Board on the determination date. No PSU may vest before the date that is 12 months following the date of the award. If the award agreement so provides, in the event of a change of control (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan) pursuant to which a Participant ceases to be an eligible person, all PSUs granted to a Participant shall become fully vested in such Participant (without regard to the attainment of any performance criteria) and shall become payable to the Participant in accordance with the Equity Incentive Plan.

Other than as may be set forth in the applicable award agreement and below, upon the death of a Participant, all PSUs granted to the Participant which, prior to the Participant's death, have not vested, will immediately and automatically be forfeited and cancelled without further action and without any cost or payment, and the Participant or their estate, as the case may be, shall have no right, title or interest therein whatsoever; provided, however, the Board may determine, in its sole discretion, the number of the Participant's PSUs that will vest based on the extent to which the applicable performance criteria have been satisfied in that portion of the performance cycle that has lapsed.

Where a Participant's relationship with the Company is terminated by the Company or a subsidiary for cause, all PSUs granted to the Participant under the Equity Incentive Plan will immediately terminate without payment, be forfeited and cancelled and shall be of no further force or effect as of the termination date. Where a Participant's relationship with the Company terminates by reason of termination by the Company or a subsidiary without cause, by voluntary termination, voluntary resignation or due to retirement by the Participant, all PSUs granted to the Participant which have not vested will, unless the award agreement provides otherwise and subject to the provisions below, immediately terminate without payment, be forfeited and cancelled and shall be of no further force or effect as of the termination date, and the Participant shall have no right, title or interest therein whatsoever; provided, however, the Board may determine, in its sole discretion, the number of the Participant's PSUs that will vest based on the extent to which the applicable performance have been satisfied in that portion of the performance cycle that has lapsed.

Where a Participant becomes afflicted by a disability, all PSUs granted to the Participant under the Equity Incentive Plan will continue to vest in accordance with the terms of such PSUs; provided, however, that no PSUs may be redeemed during a leave of absence. Where a Participant's relationship is terminated due to disability such that the Participant ceases to be an eligible person, all PSUs granted to the Participant under the Equity Incentive Plan that have not vested will, unless the applicable award agreement provides otherwise and subject to the provisions below, immediately terminate without payment, be forfeited and cancelled and shall be of no further force or effect as of the termination date, and the Participant shall have no right, title or interest therein whatsoever; provided, however, that the


10

Board may determine, in its sole discretion, the number of the Participant's PSUs that will vest based on the extent to which the applicable performance criteria have been satisfied in that portion of the performance cycle that has lapsed.

Payment to Participants in respect of vested PSUs shall be made after the determination date for the applicable award and in any case within 90 days after the last day of the performance cycle to which such award relates. The Company shall, at the sole discretion of the Board, either: (a) issue to the Participant the number of Common Shares equal to the number of PSUs that have vested on the Determination Date; or (b) make a cash payment in an amount equal to the Market Unit Price (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan) on the next trading day after the determination date of the PSUs that have vested, net of applicable withholdings.

Deferred Share Units

A DSU is a right granted to a Participant, as compensation for employment or consulting services or services as a director or officer, to receive, for no additional cash consideration, securities of the Company on a deferred basis upon specified vesting criteria being satisfied, subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Incentive Plan and the applicable award agreement, and which may be paid in cash and/or Common Shares.

Subject to the provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Board may prescribe, the Board may, from time to time, grant awards of DSUs to directors that do not perform investor relations activities in lieu of fees (including annual Board retainers, chair fees, meeting attendance fees or any other fees payable to a director) or to other eligible persons that do not perform investor relations activities as compensation for employment or consulting services. The number of DSUs to be credited to each Participant shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion in accordance with the Equity Incentive Plan. The number of DSUs shall be specified in the applicable award agreement. Each director may elect to receive any or all of their fees in DSUs under the Equity Incentive Plan.

The number of DSUs shall be calculated by dividing the amount of Fees selected by a director by the Market Unit Price (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan) on the grant date (or such other price as required under the Policies of the TSXV) which shall be the 10th business day following each financial quarter end. Any fractional DSU shall be rounded down and no payment or other adjustment will be made with respect to the fractional DSU.

No Deferred Share Units may vest before the date that is 12 months following the date of the award of the DSU.

Each Participant shall be entitled to receive, after the effective date that the Participant ceases to be an eligible person for any reason, on a day designated by the Participant and communicated to the Company by the Participant in writing at least fifteen (15) days prior to the designated day (or such earlier date after the Participant ceases to be an eligible person as the Participant and the Company may agree, which date shall be no later than one year after the date upon which the Participant ceases to be an eligible person) and if no such notice is given, then on the first anniversary of the effective date that the Participant ceases to be an eligible person, at the sole discretion of the Board, either: (a) that number of Common Shares equal to the number of vested DSUs credited to the participant's account, such Common Shares to be issued from treasury of the Company; or (b) a cash payment in an amount equal to the Market Unit Price on the next trading day after the Participant ceases to be an eligible person of the vested DSUs, net of applicable withholdings.

In the event that the value of a DSU would be determined with reference to a period commencing at a fiscal quarter end of the Company and ending prior to the public disclosure of interim financial statements for the quarter (or annual financial statements in the case of the fourth quarter), the cash payment of the value of the DSUs will be made to the Participant with reference to the five (5) trading days immediately following the public disclosure of the interim financial statements for that quarter (or annual financial statements in the case of the fourth quarter).

Upon death of a Participant holding DSUs that have vested, the Participant's estate shall be entitled to receive, within one year of the Participant's death and at the sole discretion of the Board, a cash payment or Common Shares that would have otherwise been payable in accordance with the Equity Incentive Plan to the Participant upon such Participant ceasing to be an eligible person.

General Provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan

Non-Transferability

No Option or Performance-Based Award and no right under any such Option or Performance-Based Award shall be assignable, alienable, saleable, or transferable by a Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and only then if permitted by the Policies of the TSXV. No Option or Performance-Based Award and no right under any such Option or Performance-Based Award, may be pledged, alienated, attached, or otherwise encumbered, and any purported pledge, alienation, attachment, or encumbrance thereof shall be void and unenforceable against the Company.


11

Black-out Periods

In the event that the date provided for expiration, redemption or settlement of an award falls within a blackout period imposed by the Company pursuant to a trading policy as the result of the bona fide existence of undisclosed material information, the expiry date, redemption date or settlement date, as applicable, of the award shall automatically be extended to the date that is ten (10) business days following the date of expiry of the blackout period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there will be no extension of any award if the Company (or the Participant) is subject to a cease trade order (or similar order under applicable law).

Deductions

Whenever cash is to be paid in respect of DSUs, RSUs or PSUs, the Company shall have the right to deduct from all cash payments made to a Participant any taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payments. Whenever Common Shares are to be delivered in respect of DSUs, RSUs or PSUs, the Company shall have the right to deduct from any other amounts payable to the Participant any taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such delivery of Common Shares, or if any payment due to the Participant is not sufficient to satisfy the withholding obligation, to require the Participant to remit to the Company in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy any taxes required by law to be withheld. At the sole discretion of the Board, a Participant may be permitted to satisfy the foregoing requirement, all in accordance with the Policies of the TSXV, by delivering (on a form prescribed by the Company and in any event in accordance with the Policies of the TSXV) an irrevocable direction to a securities broker approved by the Company to sell all or a portion of the Common Shares and deliver to the Company from the sales proceeds an amount sufficient to pay the required withholding taxes.

Amendments to the Equity Incentive Plan

The Board may at any time or from time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion and without the approval of Shareholders, amend, suspend, terminate or discontinue the Equity Incentive Plan and may amend the terms and conditions of any Options or Performance-Based Awards granted hereunder, subject to:

a) any required disinterested shareholder approval to (i) reduce the exercise price of a Option or Performance-Based Award issued to an insider or (ii) extend the term of a Option granted to an insider, in either event, in accordance with the Policies of the TSXV while the Common Shares are listed on the TSXV;

b) any required approval of any applicable regulatory authority or the TSXV; and

c) any approval of Shareholders as required by the Policies of the TSXV (or otherwise required by the TSXV) or applicable law, provided that shareholder approval shall not be required for the following amendments (except that the TSXV may require approval of the Shareholders for amendments under items (c)(iii) to (c)(vii) below) and the Board may make any changes which may include but are not limited to:

i. amendments of a "housekeeping nature";

ii. amendments for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, error or omission in the Equity Incentive Plan or to correct or supplement any provision of the Equity Incentive Plan that is inconsistent with any other provision of the Equity Incentive Plan;

iii. amendments which are necessary to comply with applicable law or the requirements of the TSXV;

iv. amendments respecting administration and eligibility for participation under the Equity Incentive Plan;

v. amendments to the terms and conditions on which Options or Performance-Based Awards may be or have been granted pursuant to Equity Incentive Plan including amendments to the vesting provisions and terms of any Options or Performance-Based Awards;

vi. with the exception of Options granted to persons performing investor relations activities, amendments which alter, extend or accelerate the terms of vesting applicable to any Options or Performance-Based Awards; and

vii. changes to the termination provisions of an Option, Performance-Based Award or the Equity Incentive Plan which do not entail an extension beyond the original fixed term.

14

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee has not adopted specific policies and procedures for the engagement of non-audit services.

External Auditor Service Fees

The following table outlines the fees paid by the Company for audit and non-audit services in the last two financial years:

Nature of Services Fees Paid to Auditor in Financial Year Ended September 30, 2025 Fees Paid to Auditor in Financial Year Ended September 30, 2024
Audit Fees^{(1)} $75,000 $55,000
Audit-Related Fees^{(2)} Nil Nil
Tax Fees^{(3)} Nil Nil
All Other Fees^{(4)} 16,250 Nil
Total: $91,250 $55,000

(1) "Audit Fees" include fees necessary to perform the annual audit and quarterly reviews of the Company's consolidated financial statements. Audit Fees include fees for review of tax provisions and for accounting consultations on matters reflected in the financial statements. Audit Fees also include audit or other attest services required by legislation or regulation, such as comfort letters, consents, reviews of securities filings and statutory audits.

(2) "Audit-Related Fees" include services that are traditionally performed by the auditor. These audit-related services include employee benefit audits, due diligence assistance, accounting consultations on proposed transactions, internal control reviews and audit or attest services not required by legislation or regulation.

(3) "Tax Fees" include fees for all tax services other than those included in "Audit Fees" and "Audit-Related Fees". This category includes fees for tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice. Tax planning and tax advice includes assistance with tax audits and appeals, tax advice related to mergers and acquisitions, and requests for rulings or technical advice from tax authorities.

Exemption

At no time since the commencement of the Company's most recently completed financial year has the Company relied on the exemption in Section 2.4 of NI 52-110 De Minimis Non-audit Services or an exemption from NI 52-110, in whole or in part, granted under Part 8 of NI 52-110. Part 8 permits a company to apply to a securities regulatory authority for an exemption from the requirements of NI 52-110, in whole or in part.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

General

Effective June 30, 2005, National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices ("NI 58-101") and National Policy 58-201 Corporate Governance Guidelines ("NP 58-201") were adopted in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. NI 58-101 requires issuers to disclose the corporate governance practices that they have adopted. NP 58-201 provides guidance on corporate governance practices.

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


15

Board of Directors

Independence of Members of Board

The Company's Board consists of six Directors, three of whom are currently independent based upon the tests for independence set forth in NI 52-110. Susanne Hermans, David Watkins and Maurizio Napoli are independent.

Directors are considered to be independent if they have no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. A "material relationship" is a relationship which could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director's independent judgement.

Management has been delegated the responsibility for meeting defined corporate objectives, implementing approved strategic and operating plans, carrying on the Company's business in the ordinary course, managing cash flow, evaluating new business opportunities, recruiting staff and complying with applicable regulatory requirements. The Board facilitates its independent supervision over management by reviewing and approving long-term strategic, business and capital plans, material contracts and business transactions, and all debt and equity financing transactions. Through its audit committee, the Board examines the effectiveness of the Company's internal control processes and management information systems. The plenary Board reviews executive compensation and recommends stock option and other equity incentive grants.

Other Directorships

Directors of the Company are engaged as directors of other corporations as follows:

Name of Director Name of Reporting Issuer
Robert Cameron Fjordland Exploration Inc.
David Watkins Golden Minerals Company
Brandon Macdonald Tinka Resources Limited

Orientation and Continuing Education

When new directors are appointed, they receive orientation, commensurate with their previous experience, on the Company's properties, business, technology and industry 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.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company's governing corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an 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 independently of management and in the best interests of the Company.

Nomination of Directors

The Board, in conjunction with the Governance and Nominating Committee, considers its size 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.

Compensation

The Compensation Committee determines compensation for the directors and CEO.


16

Other Board Committees

In addition to the Audit Committee, the Company has established a Compensation Committee, a Governance and Nomination Committee. The Governance and Nominating Committee and the Compensation Committee members consist of three independent members: Susanne Hermans, Brandon Macdonald and David Watkins.

Assessments

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

COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Executive Compensation

The Board has delegated to its Compensation Committee the responsibilities relating to executive and director compensation, including reviewing and recommending director compensation, overseeing the Company's base compensation structure and equity-based compensation programs, recommending compensation of the Company's officers and employees, and evaluating the performance of officers generally and in light of annual goals and objectives.

The Compensation committee also assumes responsibility for reviewing and monitoring the long-range compensation strategy for the senior management of the Company. The Compensation Committee receives independent competitive market information on compensation levels for executives.

The compensation for executives includes four components: base consulting fees, bonus (if applicable), equity incentive grants and perquisites. As a package, the compensation components are intended to satisfy the objectives of the compensation program (that is, to attract, retain and motivate qualified executives). There are no predefined or standard termination payments, change of control arrangements or employment contracts.

Philosophy and Objectives

The Company's compensation policies and programs are designed to be competitive with similar mining exploration companies and to recognize and reward executive performance consistent with the success of the Company's business. The compensation program for the senior management of the Company is designed to ensure that the level and form of compensation achieves certain objectives, including (a) attracting and retaining talented, qualified and effective executives, (b) motivating the short and long-term performance of these executives; and (c) better aligning their interests with those of the Company's shareholders.

In compensating its senior management, the Company has encouraged equity participation and in furtherance thereof has historically granted options and, subject to receipt of all applicable approvals, will in the future grant awards in accordance with the Equity Incentive Plan.

Equity Participation

The Company believes that encouraging its executives and employees to become shareholders is the best way of aligning their interests with those of its shareholders. Historically, equity participation has been accomplished through the issuance of founder's shares and the Company's Equity Incentive Plan. Assuming the receipt of all applicable approvals, going forward the Company would anticipate continuing to make grants of options and other equity grants under the Equity Incentive Plan. Equity grants are granted to executives and employees taking into account a number of factors, including the amount and term of securities previously granted, base consulting fees and bonuses and competitive factors. The amounts and terms of securities granted are determined by the Board. A description of the Company's Equity Incentive Plan is outlined in Section 5 entitled Ratification of Equity Incentive Plan above and the full Equity Incentive Plan is attached as Schedule "B".

Given the evolving nature of the Company's business, the Compensation Committee continues to review the overall compensation plan for senior management so as to continue to address the objectives identified above.

Summary Compensation Table

In this section "Named Executive Officer" ("NEO") means the CEO, the CFO and each of the three most highly compensated executive officers, other than the CEO and CFO, who were serving as executive officers at the end of the most recently completed financial year and whose total compensation was more than $150,000 as well as any additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been provided except that the individual was not serving as an executive officer of the Company at the end of the most recently completed financial year.

BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

ENDURO METALS CORPORATION

Robert Cameron,
CEO and Director


APPENDIX “A”
AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER AND GUIDELINES

Statement of Policy of the Company

The purpose of the Company's audit committee (the "Audit Committee") is to assist the Board of Directors of the Company (herein the "Board") in discharging its responsibilities with respect to the accounting policies, internal controls and financial reporting of the Company. The Audit Committee is also responsible for monitoring compliance with applicable laws and regulations, standards of ethical business conduct and the systems of internal controls. The Audit Committee shall have the authority to retain special legal, accounting or other consultants to advise the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee may request any, director, officer or employee of the Company or the Company's outside counsel or independent auditor, to attend a meeting of the Audit Committee or to meet with any members of, or consultants to, the Audit Committee.

The guidelines of the TSX Venture Exchange Inc. and the Toronto Stock Exchange (collectively, the "Exchange Guidelines") suggest that the Board of every listed company should be constituted with a majority of individuals who qualify as "unrelated" directors. An "unrelated" 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 be interests of the Company other than interest and relationships arising from shareholding. In addition, where a company has a significant shareholder, the Exchange Guidelines suggest that the Board should include a number of directors who do not have interests in either the Company or the significant shareholder. In assessing the Exchange Guidelines and making the foregoing determinations, the circumstances of each director have been examined in relation to a number of factors.

Mandate of the Board of Directors

The mandate of the Board, as prescribed by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), is to manage or supervise the management of the business and affairs of the Company and to act with a view to the best interests of the Company. In doing so, the Board oversees the management of the Company's affairs directly and through its committees.

Meetings of the Board of Directors

The Board meets to deal with matters as circumstances require. The Board transacts its business by circulating resolutions for signature by all directors.

Mandate of the Audit Committee

The primary function of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its financial oversight responsibilities by reviewing the financial reports and other financial information provided by the Company to regulatory authorities and shareholders, the Company's systems of internal controls regarding finance and accounting and the Company's auditing, accounting and financial reporting processes. The Audit Committee's primary duties and responsibilities are to:

(a) serve as an independent and objective party to monitor the Company's financial reporting and internal control system and review the Company's financial statements;
(b) review and assess management's overall process to identify principal risks that could affect the achievement of the Company's business plans and to monitor the process to manage such risks;
(c) oversee and monitor the Company's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;
(d) be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the external auditors;
(e) oversee audits of the Company's financial statements;
(f) oversee and monitor the qualifications, independence and performance of the Company's external auditors and internal auditing department;


(g) oversee and monitor the integrity of the Company's financial reporting process and system of internal controls regarding financial reporting and accounting compliance;
(h) provide an avenue of communication among the external auditors, management, the internal auditing department and the Board; and
(i) report to the Board regularly.

The Audit Committee has the authority to conduct any review or investigation appropriate to fulfilling its responsibilities. The Audit Committee shall have unrestricted access to personnel and information and any resources necessary to carry out its responsibility. In this regard the Audit Committee may direct internal audit personnel to particular areas of examination.

Operation of the Audit Committee

Reporting of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee shall report to the Board. The full Board shall be kept informed of the Audit Committee's activities by a report following each Audit Committee meeting.

Composition of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee shall consist of not less than three directors as determined by the Board of Directors, the majority of whom shall qualify as unrelated directors and who are free from any relationship that would interfere with the exercise of his or her independent judgment as a member of the Audit Committee.

All members of the Audit Committee shall have the financial literacy to be able to read and understand the Company's financial statements and to understand the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company's financial statements. At least one member shall have acquired, through: (i) education and experience as a principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, public accountant or auditor or experience in one or more positions that involve the performance of similar functions; (ii) experience actively supervising a principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, public accountant, auditor or person performing similar functions; (iii) experience overseeing or assessing the performance of companies or public accountants with respect to the preparation, auditing or evaluation of financial statements; or (iv) other relevant experience:

(a) an understanding of generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements;
(b) the ability to assess the general application of such principles in connection with the accounting for estimates accruals and reserves;
(c) experience in preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company's financial statements, or experience actively supervising one or more persons engaged in such activities;
(d) an understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting; and
(e) an understanding of audit committee functions.

Audit Committee members shall not simultaneously serve on the audit committees of more than two other public companies, unless the Board first determines that such simultaneous service will not impair the ability of the relevant members to effectively serve on the Audit Committee, and required public disclosure is made.

At least one member of the Audit Committee shall have accounting or related financial management expertise. All members of the Audit Committee that are not financially literate will work towards becoming financially literate to obtain a working familiarity with basic finance and accounting practices. For the purpose of the Company's Audit Committee Charter, as may be determined by the Board from time to time (herein the "Audit Committee Charter"), the definition of "financially literate" is the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally

{04443841;2}


{04443841;2}

comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can presumably be expected to be raised by the Company's financial statements.

Appointment of Audit Committee members

Members of the Audit Committee shall be appointed at a meeting of the Board typically held immediately after the Company's annual shareholders' meeting; provided that any member may be removed or replaced at any time by the Board and shall in any event cease to be a member of the Audit Committee upon ceasing to be a member of the Board.

Compensation

Audit Committee members may not, other than in their respective capacities as members of the Audit Committee, the Board or any other committee of the Board, accept any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from the Company or its affiliates.

The Audit Committee shall meet at least quarterly at the call of the Chairperson. The Chairperson of the Audit Committee may call additional meetings as required. In addition, a meeting may be called by any director or by the external auditors.

(e) Death - Other than as may be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement and below, upon the death of a Participant, all Performance Share Units granted to the Participant which, prior to the Participant's death, have not vested, will immediately and automatically be forfeited and cancelled without further action and without any cost or payment, and the Participant or his or her estate, as the case may be, shall have no right, title or interest therein whatsoever; provided, however, the Board may determine, in its sole discretion, the number of the Participant's Performance Share Units that will vest based on the extent to which the applicable Performance Criteria set forth in the Award Agreement have been satisfied in that portion of the Performance Cycle that has lapsed. The Performance Share Units that the Board determines to have vested shall become payable within one year of the Participant's death.

(h) Payment of Award - Payment to Participants in respect of vested Performance Share Units shall be made after the Determination Date for the applicable Award and in any case within ninety (90) days after the last day of the Performance Cycle to which such Award relates. The Company shall, at the sole discretion of the Board, either:

(i) issue to the Participant the number of Shares equal to the number of Performance Share Units credited to the Participant's Account that have vested on the Determination Date; or

(ii) make a cash payment in an amount equal to the Market Unit Price on the next Trading Day after the Determination Date of the Performance Share Units credited to a Participant's Account that have vested, net of applicable withholdings.

As of the Vesting Date, the Performance Share Units in respect of which such Shares are issued or cash payment made shall be cancelled and no further payments shall be made to the Participant under this Plan in relation to such Performance Share Units.

5.04 Deferred Share Units

(a) Eligibility and Participation - Subject to the provisions of this Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Board may prescribe, the Board may, from time to time, grant Awards of Deferred Share Units to Directors that do not perform Investor Relations Activities in lieu of Fees or to other Eligible Persons that do not perform Investor Relations Activities as compensation for employment or consulting services. Deferred Share Units granted to a Participant in accordance with Section 5.04 hereof shall be credited, as of the Grant Date, to the Participant's Account. The number of Deferred Share Units to be credited to each Participant shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion in accordance with this Plan. The number of Deferred Share Units shall be specified in the applicable Award Agreement.

(b) Election - Each Director may elect to receive any or all of his or her Fees in Deferred Share Units under this Plan. Elections by Directors regarding the amount of their Fees that they wish to receive in Deferred Share Units shall be made no later than 90 days after this Plan is adopted by the Board, and thereafter no later than December 31 of any given year with respect to Fees for the following year. Any Director who becomes a Director during a calendar year and wishes to receive an amount of his or her Fees for the remainder of that year in Deferred Share Units must make his or her election within 60 days of becoming a Director.

(c) Calculation of Deferred Share Units Granted in Lieu of Fees - The number of Deferred Share Units to be credited to a Participant's Account where the Participant is a Director who has elected to receive Deferred Share Units in lieu of Fees shall be calculated by dividing the amount of Fees selected by a Director in the applicable Election Form by the Market Unit Price on the Grant Date (or such other price as required under Exchange policies) which shall be the 10th business day following each financial quarter end. If, as a result of the foregoing calculation, a Participant that is a Director shall become entitled to a fractional Deferred Share Unit, the Participant shall only be credited with a full number of Deferred Share Units (rounded down) and no payment or other adjustment will be made with respect to the fractional Deferred Share Unit.

(d) Vesting - No Deferred Share Units may vest before the date that is one year following the date of the Award.

(e) Payment of Award - Each Participant shall be entitled to receive, after the effective date that the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Person for any reason, on a day designated by the Participant and communicated to the Company by the Participant in writing at least 15 days prior to the designated day (or such earlier date after the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Person as the Participant and the Company may agree, which date shall be no later than one year after the date upon which the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Person) and if no such notice is given, then on the first anniversary of the effective date that the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Person, at the sole discretion of the Board, either:

(i) that number of Shares equal to the number of vested Deferred Share Units credited to the Participant's Account, such Shares to be issued from treasury of the Company (provided that such issuance will not result in the number specified in Section 4.1(a) being exceeded); or

(ii) a cash payment in an amount equal to the Market Unit Price on the next Trading Day after the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Person of the vested Deferred Share Units credited to a Participant's Account, net of applicable withholdings.

(f) Exception - In the event that the value of a Deferred Share Unit would be determined with reference to a period commencing at a fiscal quarter-end of the Company and ending prior to the public disclosure of interim financial statements for the quarter (or annual financial statements in the case of the fourth quarter), the cash payment of the value of the Deferred Share Units will be made

{04443841;2}


to the Participant with reference to the five (5) Trading Days immediately following the public disclosure of the interim financial statements for that quarter (or annual financial statements in the case of the fourth quarter).

(g) Death - Upon death of a Participant holding Deferred Share Units that have vested, the Participant's estate shall be entitled to receive, within one year of the Participant's death and at the sole discretion of the Board, a cash payment or Shares that would have otherwise been payable in accordance with Section 5.04(e) hereof to the Participant upon such Participant ceasing to be an Eligible Person.

5.05 General Terms Applicable to Awards

(f) Share Certificates - All Shares delivered under this Plan pursuant to any Award shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Board may deem advisable under this Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of any securities commission, the Exchange, and any applicable securities legislation, regulations, rules, policies or orders, and the Board may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

At the sole discretion of the Board, a Participant may be permitted to satisfy the foregoing requirement by, all in accordance with the policies of the Exchange, delivering (on a form prescribed by the Company) an irrevocable direction to a securities broker approved by the Company to sell all or a portion of the Shares and deliver to the Company from the sales proceeds an amount sufficient to pay the required withholding taxes.

SECTION 7 - GENERAL PROVISIONS

7.01 No Rights to Awards

No Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under this Plan, or, having been selected to receive an Award under this Plan, to be selected to receive a future Award. There is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Eligible Persons or Participants or beneficiaries of Awards under this Plan. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each Participant. The Company and each Eligible Person qualifying for an Award are and shall be responsible for ensuring and confirming that each recipient of an Award is a bona fide Eligible Person that qualifies to receive the applicable Award.

7.02 No Limit on Other Security-Based Compensation Arrangements

{04443841;2}


15

Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Company or a Subsidiary from adopting or continuing in effect other Security-Based Compensation Arrangements, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

7.03 No Right to Employment

The grant of an Award shall neither constitute an employment contract nor be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company, or to any other relationship with the Company. Further, the Company may at any time dismiss a Participant, free from any liability, or any claim under this Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Plan or in an applicable Award Agreement.

7.04 No Right as Shareholder

Neither the Participant nor any representatives of a Participant's estate shall have any rights whatsoever as shareholders in respect of any Shares covered by such Participant's Options, RSUs, PSUs and/or DSUs until the date of issuance of a share certificate to such Participant or representatives of a Participant's estate for such Shares.

This Plan and all of the rights and obligations arising hereunder shall be interpreted and applied in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

7.06 Severability

7.07 No Trust or Fund Created

Neither this Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and a Participant or any other Person.

(a) obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies that the Company determines are necessary or advisable; and
(b) completion of any registration or other qualification of the Shares under any applicable national or foreign law or ruling of any governmental body that the Company determines to be necessary or advisable or at a time when any such registration or qualification is not current, has been suspended or otherwise has ceased to be effective.

The inability or impracticability of the Company to obtain or maintain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.
