F3 URANIUM CORP.
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR
(all information is as at April 9, 2026 unless otherwise noted)
PROXY INFORMATION
Solicitation of Proxies
This Management Information Circular (the "Circular") is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of F3 uranium Corp. ("F3" or the "Company") for use at the annual general and special meeting (the "Meeting") of shareholders ("Shareholders") to be held on Thursday, May 14, 2026, and at any adjournments thereof at the time and place, and for the purposes, set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.
While it is expected that the solicitations will be primarily by mail, proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone, without special compensation, by directors, officers and regular employees of F3 or by agents retained for that purpose. The Company does not have any contract or arrangement for the solicitation with any specially engaged employees or soliciting agents. The Company does not reimburse Shareholders' nominees or agents (including brokers and other persons holding shares on behalf of clients) for any costs incurred in obtaining from their principals proper authorization to execute proxies. The Company does not reimburse brokers and other persons holding shares in their own name or in the names of their nominees for expenses incurred in sending proxies and proxy materials to the beneficial owners thereof in obtaining their proxies.
All costs of all solicitations on behalf of management will be borne by the Company.
NOTICE-AND-ACCESS
The Company has elected to use the "notice-and-access" provisions under National Instrument 54-101 - Communications with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (the "Notice-and-Access Provisions") for the Meeting in respect of mailings to its shareholders who do not hold their Common Shares in their own name but rather hold their Common Shares indirectly through accounts with such institutions as brokerage firms, banks and trust companies (referred to in this Circular as "Beneficial Shareholders"). The Company will also be using the Notice-and-Access Provisions in respect of mailings to its Registered Shareholders. The Notice-and-Access Provisions are a set of rules developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that reduce the volume of materials that must be physically mailed to shareholders by allowing a reporting issuer to post an information circular in respect of a meeting of its shareholders and related materials, online.
The Company will be delivering proxy-related materials directly to non-objecting Beneficial Shareholders and indirectly through intermediaries to objecting Beneficial Shareholders, and the Company intends to pay intermediaries for the delivery of such material.
The Circular together with related materials have been posted and are available for review on the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. The Circular and related proxy materials are also available on the corporate website at https://f3uranium.com/investors/agm-materials/.
HOW TO OBTAIN PAPER COPIES OF MEETING MATERIALS:
Shareholders may request that paper copies of the Meeting materials be sent to them by contacting the Company at [email protected]
In order to allow Shareholders a reasonable time to receive paper copies of the Circular and related materials by mail and to vote their Common Shares, it is recommended that requests for Meeting materials be received on or before May 1, 2026. However, requests for Meeting materials may be made up to one year from the date the Circular was filed. A

INSTRUCTIONS ON VOTING AT THE MEETING
How to vote depends on whether you are a Registered Shareholder or Beneficial Shareholder. You are a Registered Shareholder if the Common Shares you own are registered directly in your name. You are a Beneficial Shareholder if the Common Shares you own are registered for you in the name of an intermediary such as a bank, trust company, securities broker or other nominee (each, an "Intermediary"). Registered Shareholders may vote their Common Shares in the following ways: (1) in advance of the Meeting by submitting the Proxy provided herewith by mail, internet, telephone or fax, as outlined below under "Voting in Advance of the Meeting" or (2) during the Meeting by voting online through the live audio webcast platform.
For the purposes of Item 3 of Form 51-102F5 under National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Company advises that no director of the Company has informed management in writing that such director intends to oppose any action intended to be taken by management at the Meeting.
Appointment of Proxyholders
The individuals named in the accompanying form of proxy (the "Proxy") are directors and/or officers of the Company. If you are a shareholder entitled to vote at the Meeting, you have the right to appoint a person or company other than either of the persons designated in the Proxy, who need not be a shareholder, to attend and act for you and on your behalf at the Meeting. You may do so either by inserting the name of that other person in the blank space provided in the Proxy or by completing and delivering another suitable form of proxy.
Voting by Proxyholder
The persons named in the Proxy will vote or withhold from voting the common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") represented thereby in accordance with your instructions on any ballot that may be called for. If you specify a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, your Common Shares will be voted accordingly. The Proxy confers discretionary authority on the persons named therein with respect to:
(a) each matter or group of matters identified therein for which a choice is not specified, other than the appointment of an auditor and the election of directors;
(b) any amendment to or variation of any matter identified therein; and
(c) any other matter that properly comes before the Meeting.
In respect of a matter for which a choice is not specified in the Proxy, the persons named in the Proxy will vote the Common Shares represented by the Proxy for the approval of such matter.
Registered Shareholders
Registered shareholders of the Company ("Registered Shareholders") may wish to vote by proxy whether or not they are able to attend the Meeting in person. Registered Shareholders may choose one of the following options to submit their proxy:
(a) complete, date and sign the Proxy and return it to the Company's transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. ("Computershare"), by fax within North America at 1-866-249-7775, outside North America at (416) 263-9524, or by mail to the 320 Bay Street, 14th Floor Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5H 4A6 or by hand delivery at 3rd Floor, 510 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 3B9;
(b) use a touch-tone phone to transmit voting choices to a toll-free number. Registered Shareholders must follow the instructions of the voice response system and refer to the enclosed proxy form for the toll-free number, the holder's account number and the control number; or
(c) use the internet through the website of the Company's transfer agent at www.investorvote.com. Registered Shareholders must follow the instructions that appear on the screen and refer to the enclosed proxy form for the holder's account number and the control number.
In all cases the Registered Shareholder must ensure the proxy is received at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays) before the Meeting, or the adjournment thereof, at which the proxy is to be used.
Beneficial Shareholders
The following information is of significant importance to shareholders who do not hold Common Shares in their own name ("Beneficial Shareholders"). Beneficial Shareholders should note that the only proxies that can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting are those deposited by Registered Shareholders (those whose names appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of Common Shares) or as set out in the following disclosure.
If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those Common Shares will not be registered in the shareholder's name on the records of the Company. Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the names of the shareholder's broker or an agent of that broker (an "intermediary"). In the United States, the vast majority of such Common Shares are registered under the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for The Depository Trust Company (which acts as depositary for many U.S. brokerage firms and custodian banks), and in Canada, under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms).
Intermediaries are required to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of meetings of shareholders. Every intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients.
There are two kinds of Beneficial Shareholders – those who object to their name being made known to the issuers of securities which they own (called "OBOs" for Objecting Beneficial Owners) and those who do not object to the issuers of the securities they own knowing who they are (called "NOBOs" for Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners).
The Company is taking advantage of the provisions of National Instrument 54-101 - Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer that permit it to directly deliver proxy-related materials to its NOBOs. As a result, NOBOs can expect to receive a scannable Voting Instruction Form ("VIF") from our transfer agent. These VIFs are to be completed and returned to Computershare in the envelope provided or by facsimile. In addition, Computershare provides both telephone voting and internet voting as described on the VIF itself which contain complete instructions at the Meeting with respect to the shares represented by the VIFs they receive.
These securityholder materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered owners of the securities of the Company. If you are a non-registered owner, and the Company or its agent sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding securities on your behalf.
By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Company (and not the intermediary holding securities on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in your request for voting instructions.
Beneficial Shareholders who are OBOs, should follow the instructions of their intermediary carefully to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the Meeting.
The form of proxy supplied to you by your broker will be similar to the proxy provided to Registered Shareholders by the Company. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the intermediary on how to vote your Common Shares on your behalf. Most brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge") in the United States and in Canada. Broadridge mails a VIF in lieu of a proxy provided by the Company. The VIF will name the same persons as the Company's Proxy to represent your Common Shares at the Meeting. You have the right to appoint a person (who need not be a Beneficial Shareholder of the Company), other than any of the persons designated in the VIF, to represent your Common Shares at the Meeting, and that person may be you. To exercise this right, you should insert the name of the desired representative (which may be yourself) in the blank space provided in the VIF. The completed VIF must then be returned to Broadridge by mail or facsimile or given to Broadridge by phone or over the internet, in accordance with Broadridge's instructions. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides
3 | Page
appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares to be represented at the Meeting, and the appointment of any shareholder's representative.
If you receive a VIF from Broadridge, the VIF must be completed and returned to Broadridge, in accordance with its instructions, well in advance of the Meeting in order to have your Common Shares voted at the Meeting and to vote your Common Shares at the Meeting.
Revocation of Proxies
In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a Registered Shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it by:
(a) executing a proxy bearing a later date or by executing a valid notice of revocation, either of the foregoing to be executed by the Registered Shareholder or the Registered Shareholder's authorized attorney in writing, or, if the shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal by an officer or attorney duly authorized, and by delivering the proxy bearing a later date to Computershare at any time up to and including the last business day that precedes the day of the Meeting or, if the Meeting is adjourned, the last business day that precedes any reconvening thereof, or to the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any reconvening thereof, or in any other manner provided by law; or
(b) personally attending the Meeting and voting the Registered Shareholder's Common Shares. A revocation of a proxy will not affect a matter on which a vote is taken before the revocation.
VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES
The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares without par value. As at the close of business on the Record Date being April 9, 2026 – 631,833,670 Common Shares were issued and outstanding. Each shareholder entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting is entitled to one vote for each common share registered in his or her name at the close of business on April 9, 2026.
Under the Company's current By-Laws, the quorum for the transaction of business at a Meeting of shareholders is two persons present, each being a shareholder entitled to vote thereat or a duly appointed proxyholder or representative for a shareholder so entitled, holding or representing by proxy not less than 10% of the votes entitled to be cast at the Meeting.
On a show of hands, every individual who is present and is entitled to vote as a shareholder or as a representative of one or more corporate shareholders will have one vote, and on a poll every shareholder present in person or represented by a Proxy and every person who is a representative of one or more corporate shareholders, will have one vote for each Common Share registered in that shareholder's name on the list of shareholders as at the Record Date, which is available for inspection during normal business hours at the Company's transfer agent and will be available at the Meeting.
To the best of the knowledge of our directors and senior officers, no person or corporation beneficially owns, or controls or directs, directly or indirectly, Common Shares carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to all of our issued Common Shares.
As of the date hereof, the directors and executive officers of the Company, as a group, owned beneficially, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over, approximately 23,593,212 Common Shares representing approximately 3.73% of the issued Common Shares.

The purpose of the Option Plan is to, among other things: (i) provide the Company with a mechanism to attract, retain and motivate qualified directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries; (ii) reward directors, officers, employees and consultants that have been granted stock options (each, an "Option") under the Option Plan for their contributions toward the long-term goals and success of the Company; and (iii) enable and encourage such directors, officers, employees and consultants to acquire Shares of the Company as long-term investments and proprietary interests in the Company.

A summary of certain provisions of the Option Plan is set out below, and a full copy of the Option Plan is available on SEDAR+ or can be requested from the Company by emailing [email protected]. This summary is qualified in its entirety to the full copy of the Option Plan.
SUMMARY OF THE OPTION PLAN
Eligibility
The Option Plan allows the Company to grant Options to attract, retain and motivate qualified directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Option Plan Participants").
Number of Shares Issuable
The aggregate number of Shares that may be issued to Option Plan Participants under the Option Plan will be that number of Shares equal to 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares on the particular date of grant of the Option.
Limits of Participation
The Option Plan provides for the following limits on grants, for so long as the Company is subject to the requirements of the Exchange, unless disinterested Shareholder approval is obtained or unless permitted otherwise pursuant to the policies of the Exchange:
(i) the maximum number of Shares that may be issued to any one Option Plan Participant (and where permitted pursuant to the policies of the Exchange, any company that is wholly owned by the Option Plan Participant) under the Option Plan, together with any other security based compensation arrangements, within a twelve (12) month period, may not exceed 5% of the issued Shares calculated on the date of grant;
(ii) the maximum number of Shares that may be issued to insiders collectively under the Option Plan, together with any other security-based compensation arrangements, within a twelve (12) month period, may not exceed 10% of the issued Shares calculated on the date of grant; and
(iii) the maximum number of Shares that may be issued to insiders collectively under the Option Plan, together with any other security-based compensation arrangements, may not exceed 10% of the issued Shares at any time.
For so long as such limitation is required by the Exchange, the maximum number of Options which may be granted within any twelve (12) month period to Option Plan Participants who perform investor relations activities must not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Shares, and such Options must vest in stages over twelve (12) months with no more than 25% vesting in any three (3) month period. In addition, the maximum number of Shares that may be granted to any one consultant under the 2023 Option Plan, together with any other security-based compensation arrangements, within a twelve (12) month period, may not exceed 2% of the issued Shares calculated on the date of grant.
Administration
The plan administrator of the Option Plan (the "Option Plan Administrator") will be the Board or a committee of the Board, if delegated. The Option Plan Administrator will, among other things, determine which directors, officers, employees or consultants are eligible to receive Options under the Option Plan; determine conditions under which Options may be granted, vested or exercised, including the expiry date, exercise price and vesting schedule of the Options; establish the form of option certificate ("Option Certificate"); interpret the Option Plan; and make all other determinations and take all other actions necessary or advisable for the implementation and administration of the Option Plan.
Subject to any required regulatory or shareholder approvals, the Option Plan Administrator may also, from time to time, without notice to or without approval of the Shareholders or the Option Plan Participants, amend, modify, change, suspend or terminate the Options granted pursuant thereto as it, in its discretion, determines appropriate, provided that no such amendment, modification, change, suspension or termination of the Option Plan or any Option granted pursuant thereto
10 | Page
may materially impair any rights of an Option Plan Participant or materially increase any obligations of an Option Plan Participant under the Option Plan without the consent of such Option Plan Participant, unless the Option Plan Administrator determines such adjustment is required or desirable in order to comply with any applicable securities laws or stock exchange requirements or as otherwise permitted pursuant to the Option Plan.
All of the Options are subject to the conditions, limitations, restrictions, vesting, exercise and forfeiture provisions determined by the Option Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, subject to such limitations provided in the Option Plan and will be evidenced by an Option Certificate. In addition, subject to the limitations provided in the Option Plan and in accordance with applicable law, the Option Plan Administrator may accelerate the vesting of Options, cancel or modify outstanding Options and waive any condition imposed with respect to Options or Shares issued pursuant to Options.
Exercise of Options
Options shall be exercisable as determined by the Option Plan Administrator at the time of grant, provided that no Option shall have a term exceeding ten (10) years so long as the Shares are listed on the Exchange.
Subject to all applicable regulatory rules, the vesting schedule for an Option, if any, shall be determined by the Option Plan Administrator. The Option Plan Administrator may elect, at any time, to accelerate the vesting schedule of an Option, and such acceleration will not be considered an amendment to such Option and will not require the consent of the Option Plan Participant in question. However, no acceleration to the vesting schedule of an Option granted to an Option Plan Participant performing investor relations services may be made without prior acceptance of the Exchange.
The exercise price of an Option shall be determined by the Option Plan Administrator and cannot be lower than the greater of: (i) the minimum price required by the Exchange; and (ii) the market value of the Shares on the applicable grant date.
An Option Plan Participant may exercise the Options in whole or in part through any one of the following forms of consideration, subject to applicable laws, prior to the expiry date of such Options, as determined by the Option Plan Administrator:
- the Option Plan Participant may send a wire transfer, certified cheque or bank draft payable to the Company in an amount equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares being purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Option;
- subject to approval from the Option Plan Administrator and the Shares being traded on the Exchange, a brokerage firm may be engaged to loan money to the Option Plan Participant in order for the Option Plan Participant to exercise the Options to acquire the Shares, subsequent to which the brokerage firm shall sell a sufficient number of Shares to cover the exercise price 10 of such Options to satisfy the loan. The brokerage firm shall receive an equivalent number of Shares from the exercise of the Options, and the Option Plan Participant shall receive the balance of the Shares or cash proceeds from the balance of such Shares; and
- subject to approval from the Option Plan Administrator and the Shares being traded on the Exchange, consideration may be paid by reducing the number of Shares otherwise issuable under the Options, in lieu of a cash payment to the Company, an Option Plan Participant, excluding those providing investor relations services, only receives the number of Shares that is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing: (i) the product of the number of Options being exercised multiplied by the difference between the volume-weighted average trading price of the Shares and the exercise price of the Options, by (ii) the volume-weighted average trading price of the Shares.
If an exercise date for an Option occurs during a trading black-out period imposed by the Company to restrict trades in its securities, then, notwithstanding any other provision of the Option Plan, the Option shall be exercised no more than ten business days after the trading black-out period is lifted by the Company, subject to certain exceptions.
Any Options granted to an Option Plan Participant under the Option Plan shall terminate at a date no later than twelve (12) months from the date such Option Plan Participant ceases to be an Option Plan Participant.

Termination of Employment or Services and Change in Control
The following describes the impact of certain events that may, unless otherwise determined by the Option Plan Administrator or as set forth in an Option Certificate, lead to the early expiry of Options granted under the Option Plan.
| Termination by the Company for cause: | Forfeiture of all unvested Options. The Option Plan Administrator may determine that all vested Options shall be forfeited, failing which all vested Options shall be exercised in accordance with the Option Plan. |
|---|---|
| Voluntary resignation of an Option Plan Participant: | Forfeiture of all unvested Options. Exercise of vested Options in accordance with the Option Plan. |
| Termination by the Company other than for cause: | Acceleration of vesting of a portion of unvested Options in accordance with a prescribed formula as set out in the Option Plan. Forfeiture of the remaining unvested Options. Exercise of vested Options in accordance with the Option Plan. |
| Death or disability of an Option Plan Participant: | Acceleration of vesting of all unvested Options. Exercise of vested Options in accordance with the Option Plan. |
| Termination or voluntary resignation for good reason within twelve (12) months of a control: | Exercise of vested Options in accordance with the change in Option Plan. |
In the event of a triggering event, which includes a change in control, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, a material alteration of the capital structure of the Company and a disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, the Option Plan Administrator may, without the consent of the Option Plan Participant, cause all or a portion of the Options granted to terminate upon the occurrence of such event.
Amendment or Termination of the Option Plan
Subject to any necessary regulatory approvals, the Option Plan may be suspended or terminated at any time by the Option Plan Administrator, provided that no such suspension or termination shall alter or impact any rights or obligations under an Option previously granted without the consent of the Option Plan Participant.
The following limitations apply to the Option Plan and all Options thereunder as long as such limitations are required by the Exchange:
- any adjustment to Options, other than in connection with a security consolidation or security split, is subject to prior Exchange acceptance;
- any amendment to the Option Plan is subject to prior Exchange acceptance, except for amendments to reduce the number of Shares issuable under the Option Plan, to increase the exercise price of Options or to cancel Options;
- any amendments made to the Option Plan shall require regulatory and Shareholder approval, except for amendments to: (i) fix typographical errors; and (ii) clarify existing provisions of the Option Plan and which do not have the effect of altering the scope, nature and intent of such provisions; and;
- the exercise price of an Option previously granted to an insider must not be reduced, or the extension of the expiry date of an Option held by an insider may not be extended, unless the Company has obtained disinterested shareholder approval to do so in accordance with Exchange policies.
Subject to the foregoing limitations and any necessary regulatory approvals, the Option Plan Administrator may amend any existing Options or the Option Plan or the terms and conditions of any Option granted thereafter, although the Option Plan Administrator must obtain written consent of the Option Plan Participant (unless otherwise excepted out by a provision of
the Option Plan) where such amendment would materially decrease the rights or benefits accruing to an Option Plan Participant or materially increase the obligations of an Option Plan Participant.
Company Option Plan Resolution
At the Meeting, the Shareholders of the Company will be asked to consider and approve an ordinary resolution, in substantially the following form, in order to approve the continuation of the Option Plan, which resolution requires approval of greater than 50% of the votes cast by the Shareholders who, being entitled to do so, vote, in person or by proxy, on the ordinary resolution at the Meeting:
"BE IT RESOLVED, AS AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION, THAT:
a) subject to final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), the Company's 10% rolling stock option plan (the "Option Plan"), dated November 26, 2024, is hereby approved;
b) the directors of the Company or any committee of the board of directors of the Company are hereby authorized to grant stock options (each, an "Option") pursuant to the Option Plan to those eligible to receive Options thereunder;
c) any one (1) director or officer of the Company is hereby authorized to execute and deliver on behalf of the Company all such documents and instruments and to do all such other acts and things as in such director's opinion may be necessary to give effect to the matters contemplated by these resolutions; and
d) notwithstanding that this resolution be passed by the shareholders of the Company, the continuation of the 10% rolling stock option plan is conditional upon receipt of final approval of the TSXV, and the directors of the Company are hereby authorized and empowered to revoke this resolution, without any further approval of the shareholders of the Company, at any time if such revocation is considered necessary or desirable to the directors."
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD
The Board has determined that the Option Plan is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders and unanimously recommends that the Shareholders vote in favour of approving the Option Plan. In the absence of any contrary directions, it is the intention of management to vote proxies in the accompanying form FOR the foregoing resolution.
The Board reserves the right to amend any terms of the Option Plan or not to proceed with the Option Plan at any time prior to the Meeting if the Board determines that it would be in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders and to do so in light of any subsequent event or development occurring after the date of the Information Circular.
5. APPROVAL OF THE AMENDED EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN OF THE COMPANY
At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to re-approve a resolution approving the Company's equity incentive plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan"). The Equity Incentive Plan was approved by the Board on September 5, 2022, and has been approved by the TSX-Venture Exchange. The Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to continue the security-based compensation plan which would provide the Company with the ability and flexibility to make broader and different forms of equity rewards as part of its need to retain a competitive compensation structure for its directors, officers, employees and consultants. The purpose of the Equity Incentive Plan is to, among other things: (i) provide the Company with a mechanism to attract, retain and motivate qualified directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries; (ii) reward directors, officers, employees and consultants that have been granted Awards (as defined below) under the Equity Incentive Plan for their contributions toward the long-term goals and success of the Company; and (iii) enable and encourage such directors, officers, employees and consultants to acquire Shares of the Company as long-term investments and proprietary interests in the Company. The approval of the Equity Incentive Plan by the Board is subject to approval of the Shareholders and to the final acceptance of the Exchange.

A summary of certain provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan is set out below, and a full copy of the Equity Incentive Plan is Available on SEDAR+ as part of the 2023 AGM materials or can be requested from the Company by emailing [email protected]. This summary is qualified in its entirety to the full copy of the Equity Incentive Plan.
SUMMARY OF EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
ELIGIBILITY
The Equity Incentive Plan provides flexibility to the Company to grant equity-based incentive awards in the form of restricted share units ("RSUS"), performance share units ("PSUS") and deferred share units ("DSUS") (collectively, the "awards") to attract, retain and motivate qualified directors, officers, employees and consultants of the company and its subsidiaries, excluding any persons who perform investor relations activities on behalf of the company or any of its subsidiaries (collectively, the "equity incentive plan participants").
NUMBER OF SHARES ISSUABLE
To amend the aggregate number of common shares in the capital of the company (each, a "share") that may be issued to equity incentive plan participants under the equity incentive plan to not exceed 51,415,906 subject to adjustment as provided for in the equity incentive plan and approved by disinterested shareholders at a duly called meeting.
LIMITS ON PARTICIPATION
The Equity Incentive Plan provides for the following limits on grants, for so long as the company is subject to the requirements of the exchange, unless disinterested shareholder approval is obtained or unless permitted otherwise pursuant to the policies of the exchange:
(i) the maximum number of shares that may be issued to any one equity incentive plan participant (and where permitted pursuant to the policies of the exchange, any company that is wholly owned by the equity incentive plan participant) under the equity incentive plan, together with any other security-based compensation arrangements, within a twelve (12) month period, may not exceed 5% of the issued shares calculated on the date of grant;
(ii) the maximum number of shares that may be issued to insiders collectively under the equity incentive plan, together with any other security-based compensation arrangements, within a twelve (12) month period, may not exceed 10% of the issued shares calculated on the date of grant; and
(iii) the maximum number of shares that may be issued to insiders collectively under the equity incentive plan, together with any other security-based compensation arrangements, may not exceed 10% of the issued shares at any time.
For so long as such limitation is required by the Exchange, the maximum number of Shares that may be granted to any one consultant under the Equity Incentive Plan, together with any other security-based compensation arrangements, within a twelve (12) month period, may not exceed 2% of the issued Shares calculated on the date of grant.
ADMINISTRATION
The plan administrator of the Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan Administrator") will be the Board or a committee of the Board, if delegated. The Equity Incentive Plan Administrator will, among other things, determine which directors, officers, employees or consultants are eligible to receive Awards under the Equity Incentive Plan; determine any vesting provisions or other restrictions on Awards; determine conditions under which Awards may be granted, vested or settled, including establishing performance goals; establish the form of Award agreement ("Award Agreement"); interpret the Equity Incentive Plan; and make all other determinations and take all other actions necessary or advisable for the implementation and administration of the Equity Incentive Plan.
Subject to any required regulatory or shareholder approvals, the Equity Incentive Plan Administrator may also, from time to time, without notice to or without approval of the Shareholders or the Equity Incentive Plan Participants, amend, modify, change, suspend or terminate the Awards granted pursuant thereto as it, in its discretion, determines appropriate, provided that no such amendment, modification, change, suspension or termination of the Equity Incentive Plan or any Award granted pursuant thereto may materially impair any rights of an Equity Incentive Plan Participant or materially increase any obligations
14 | Page
of an Equity Incentive Plan Participant under the Equity Incentive Plan without the consent of such Equity Incentive Plan Participant, unless the Equity Incentive Plan Administrator determines such adjustment is required or desirable in order to comply with any applicable securities laws or stock exchange requirements or as otherwise permitted pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan.
All of the Awards are subject to the conditions, limitations, restrictions, vesting, settlement and forfeiture provisions determined by the Equity Incentive Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, subject to such limitations provided in the Equity Incentive Plan and will be evidenced by an Award Agreement. In addition, subject to the limitations provided in the Equity Incentive Plan and in accordance with applicable law, the Equity Incentive Plan Administrator may accelerate the vesting or payment of Awards, cancel or modify outstanding Awards and waive any condition imposed with respect to Awards or Shares issued pursuant to Awards.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Incentive Plan, the Plan Administrator, may, in its discretion, credit outstanding Share Units and DSUs with dividend equivalents in the form of additional Share Units and DSUs, respectively, as of each dividend payment date in respect of which normal cash dividends are paid on Shares. Dividend equivalents credited to an Equity Incentive Plan Participant's accounts shall vest in proportion to the Share Units and DSUs to which they relate, and shall be settled in accordance with terms of the Plan. Where the issuance of Shares pursuant to the settlement of dividend equivalents will result in the Company having insufficient Shares available for issuance or would result in the Company breaching its limits on grants of Awards, as set out above, the Company shall settle such dividend equivalents in cash.
SETTLEMENT OF VESTED SHARE UNITS
The Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of restricted share units (each, a "RSU"). A RSU is a unit equivalent in value to a Share which entitles the holder to receive one Share, or cash, or a combination thereof for each vested RSU. RSUs shall, unless otherwise determined by the Equity Incentive Plan Administrator, and as specifically set out in the Award Agreement, vest, if at all, following a period of continuous employment of the Equity Incentive Plan Participant with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company.
The Equity Incentive Plan also provides for the grant of performance share units (each, a "PSU", together with RSUs, the "Share Units"), which entitles the holder to receive one Share, or cash, or a combination thereof, for each vested PSU. PSUs shall, unless otherwise determined by the Equity Incentive Plan Administrator, and as specifically set out in the Award Agreement, vest, if at all, subject to the attainment of certain performance goals and satisfaction of such other conditions to vesting, if any, as many be determined by the Equity Incentive Plan Administrator.
Except where an Equity Incentive Plan Participant dies or ceases to be an Equity Incentive Plan Participant due to a change in control of the Company, no Share Unit shall vest prior to the first anniversary of its date of grant. Upon settlement of the Share Units, which shall be within sixty (60) days of the date that the applicable vesting criteria are met, deemed to have been met or waived, and in any event no later than three years following the end of the year in respect of which the Share Units are granted, holders of the Share Units will receive any, or a combination of, the following (as determined solely at the discretion of the Equity Incentive Plan Administrator):
(i) one fully paid and non-assessable Share issued from treasury in respect of each vested Share Unit; or (ii) a cash payment, which shall be determined by multiplying the number of Share Units redeemed for cash by the market value of a Share (calculated with reference to the five (5) day volume weighted average trading price, and subject to a minimum price as set out in the Equity Incentive Plan) (the "Market Price") on the date of settlement.
The Company reserves the right to change its allocation of Shares and/or cash payment in respect of a Share Unit settlement at any time up until payment is actually made. If a settlement date for an Share Unit occurs during a trading black-out period imposed by the Company to restrict trades in its securities, then, notwithstanding any other provision of the Equity Incentive Plan, the Share Unit shall be settled no more than ten (10) business days after the trading black-out period is lifted by the Company, subject to certain exceptions.
15 | Page
16 | Page
SETTLEMENT OF VESTED DSUS
The Equity Incentive Plan also provides for the grant of deferred share units (each, a "DSU"). A DSU is a unit equivalent in value to a Share which entitles the holder to receive one Share, or cash, or a combination thereof, for each vested DSU on a future date following the Equity Incentive Plan Participant's separation of services from the Company or its subsidiaries. Except where an Equity Incentive Plan Participant dies or ceases to be an Equity Incentive Plan Participant due to a change in control of the Company and as set out below, no DSU shall vest prior to the first anniversary of its date of grant. Upon settlement of the DSUs, which shall be no earlier than the date of the Equity Incentive Plan Participant's termination of services to the Company or its subsidiaries and no later than one (1) year after such date, holders of DSUs will receive any or a combination of the following (as determined solely at the discretion of the Equity Incentive Plan Administrator):
(i) one (1) fully paid and non-assessable Share issued from treasury in respect of each vested DSU; or (ii) a cash payment, determined by multiplying the number of DSUs redeemed for cash by the Market Price of a Share on the date of settlement.
In addition to grants made by the Equity Incentive Plan Administrator to all Equity Incentive Plan Participants, directors of the Company may elect, subject to acceptance by the Company, in whole or in part, of such election, to receive any portion of their director's fees to be payable in DSUs. The Company reserves the right to change its allocation of Shares and/or cash payment in respect of a DSU settlement at any time up until payment is actually made. If a settlement date for a DSU occurs during a trading black-out period imposed by the Company to restrict trades in its securities, then, notwithstanding any other provision of the Equity Incentive Plan, the DSU shall be settled no more than ten (10) business days after the trading black-out period is lifted by the Company, subject to certain exceptions.
TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICES AND CHANGE IN CONTROL
The following describes the impact of certain events that may, unless otherwise determined by the Equity Incentive Plan Administrator or as set forth in an Award Agreement, lead to the early expiry of Awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan.
| Termination by the Company for cause: | Forfeiture of all unvested Awards. The Plan Administrator may determine that all vested Awards shall be forfeited, failing which all vested Awards shall be settled in accordance with the Equity Incentive Plan. |
|---|---|
| Voluntary resignation of an Equity Incentive Plan Participant: | Forfeiture of all unvested Awards. Settlement of all vested Awards in accordance with the Equity Incentive Plan. |
| Termination by the Company other than for cause: | Acceleration of vesting of a portion of unvested Awards in accordance with a prescribed formula as set out in the Equity Incentive Plan. Forfeiture of the remaining unvested Awards. Settlement of all vested Awards in accordance with the Equity Incentive Plan. |
| Death or disability of an Equity Incentive Plan Participant: | Acceleration of vesting of all unvested Awards. Settlement of all vested Awards in accordance with the Equity Incentive Plan. |
| Termination or voluntary resignation for good reason within twelve (12) months of a change in control: | Acceleration of vesting of all unvested Awards. Settlement of all vested Awards in accordance with the Equity Incentive Plan. |
Any Awards granted to an Equity Incentive Plan Participant under the Equity Incentive Plan shall terminate at a date no later than twelve (12) months from the date such Equity Incentive Plan Participant ceases to be an Equity Incentive Plan Participant.
In the event of a triggering event, which includes a change in control, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, a material alteration of the capital structure of the Company and a disposition of substantially all of the Company's assets, the Plan Administrator may, without the consent of the Equity Incentive Plan Participant, cause all or a portion of the Awards granted to terminate upon the occurrence of such event, subject to any necessary approvals.
AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
Subject to the approval of the Exchange, where required, the Equity Plan Administrator may from time to time, without notice to or approval of the Equity Incentive Plan Participants or Shareholders, terminate the Equity Incentive Plan. Amendments made to the Equity Incentive Plan shall require regulatory and Shareholder approval, except for amendments to: (i) fix typographical errors; and (ii) clarify existing provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan and which do not have the effect of altering the scope, nature and intent of such provisions.
COMPANY EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN RESOLUTION
At the Meeting, the Shareholders of the Company will be asked to consider and approve an ordinary resolution, in substantially the following form, in order to approve the Equity Incentive Plan, which resolution requires approval of greater than 50% of the votes cast by the disinterested Shareholders who, being entitled to do so, vote, in person or by proxy, on the ordinary resolution at the Meeting:
"BE IT RESOLVED, AS AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION, THAT:
a) subject to final acceptance of the TSXV, the Company's Amended Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan"), to allow for no more than 51,145,906 incentive shares to be issued, substantially in the form attached as Appendix "B" to the management information circular of the Company dated November 29, 2024, is hereby approved;
b) the directors of the Company or any committee of the board of directors of the Company are hereby authorized to grant restricted share units ("RSUs"), performance share units ("PSUs") and deferred share units ("DSUs") pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan to those eligible to receive RSUs, PSUs and DSUs thereunder;
c) any one (1) director or officer of the Company is hereby authorized to execute and deliver on behalf of the Company all such documents and instruments and to do all such other acts and things as in such director's opinion may be necessary to give effect to the matters contemplated by these resolutions; and
d) notwithstanding that this resolution be passed by the shareholders of the Company, the Equity Incentive Plan is conditional upon receipt of final approval of the TSXV, and the directors of the Company are hereby authorized and empowered to revoke this resolution, without any further approval of the shareholders of the Company, at any time if such revocation is considered necessary or desirable to the directors."
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD
The Board has determined that the Equity Incentive Plan is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders and unanimously recommends that the Shareholders vote in favour of approving the Equity Incentive Plan. In the absence of any contrary directions, it is the intention of management to vote proxies in the accompanying form FOR the foregoing resolution.
The Board reserves the right to amend any terms of the Equity Incentive Plan or not to proceed with the Equity Incentive Plan at any time prior to the Meeting if the Board determines that it would be in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders and to do so in light of any subsequent event or development occurring after the date of the Information Circular.

6. APPROVAL OF THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION
At the meeting, the Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought advisable, to approve a special resolution authorizing an amendment to the articles of the Corporation to consolidate its outstanding Common Shares (the "Share Consolidation") on the basis of up to 40 pre-consolidation Common Shares for each one (1) post-consolidation Common Share.
All outstanding Common Shares, warrants, options, RSUs and any other securities granting rights to acquire Common Shares of the Corporation will be affected by the Share Consolidation in accordance with the adjustment provisions contained in the instruments giving rise to the issuance of such securities.
The Share Consolidation will not be effective until all applicable filings are complete. The Board reserves the right to revoke all or part of the articles of amendment at any time prior to their becoming effective, or to not proceed with the filing of the articles of amendment at all.
Reasons for the Share Consolidation
The Corporation believes that it is in the best interests of the Corporation to reduce the number of outstanding Common Shares by way of the Share Consolidation. The potential benefits of the Share Consolidation include:
- Providing access to the Corporation’s stock to more Investors, potentially improving trading volume and liquidity
The Corporation believes that it is desirable for its Common Shares to trade at a higher price per common share. An increase in trading price of the Common Shares could heighten the interest of the financial community in the Corporation and potentially broaden the pool of investors who may consider investing or may be able to invest in the Corporation, potentially increasing the trading volume and liquidity of its Common Shares.
The Share Consolidation may also help to attract institutional investors or fund managers who have internal policies that either prohibit them from purchasing stocks below a certain minimum price or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending such shares to their customers, including institutional investors, indexes, investment funds and exchange-traded funds that are prohibited from purchasing shares below a certain minimum price threshold.
- Reducing trading transaction costs
Certain investors pay commissions on a per share basis on a purchase or sale of Common Shares. The Share Consolidation would raise the price per Common Share. As a result, certain investors may pay lower trading commissions when trading a fixed dollar amount (for a lower number of Common Shares).
Share Consolidation Conditional Upon Decision of the Board
If the special resolution is approved, the Share Consolidation would be implemented, if at all, only upon a determination by the Board that it is in the best interests of the Corporation at that time. In connection with any determination to implement the Share Consolidation, the Board will determine the timing for the Share Consolidation to become effective. No further action on the part of the Shareholder will be required in order for the Board to implement the Share Consolidation.
Certain Risks Associated with the Share Consolidation
There can be no assurance that, if the Share Consolidation is implemented, the total market capitalization of the Common Shares immediately following the Share Consolidation will be equal to or greater than the total market capitalization immediately before the Share Consolidation and that the Corporation will be successful in attracting new capital financing or in further developing its products.
The effect of the Share Consolidation upon the market price of the Common Shares cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the history of similar transactions for Corporations similar to the Corporation is varied.
No Fractional Shares to be Issued
No fractional Common Shares will be issued in connection with the Share Consolidation and, in the event that a Shareholder would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional common share upon the Share Consolidation, such fraction will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.
Shareholders will be asked at the meeting to consider and, if thought advisable, pass a special resolution in respect of the Share Consolidation (the "Share Consolidation Resolution"), substantially in the following form:
"RESOLVED THAT:
- The Corporation's Common Shares be consolidated on the basis of up to 40 pre-consolidation Common Shares for each one (1) post-consolidation Common Share, with the timing to be determined by the Board (the "Share Consolidation");
- No fractional post-consolidation Common Shares be issued and no cash paid in lieu of fractional post-consolidation Common Shares, such that any fractional interest in Common Shares resulting from the Share Consolidation will be rounded down to the nearest whole Common Share;
- The articles of the Corporation be amended to effect the Share Consolidation;
- The Board may, at its sole discretion, decide to not act on this special resolution without further approval or authorization from the shareholders; and
- Any one officer and director of the Corporation be and is hereby authorized for and on behalf of the Corporation to execute and deliver all such instruments and documents and to perform and do all such acts and things as may be deemed advisable in such individual's discretion for the purpose of giving effect to this resolution, the execution of any such document or the doing of any such other act or thing being conclusive evidence of such determination."
THE BOARD HAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION AND RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION RESOLUTION. THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION RESOLUTION MUST BE APPROVED BY AT LEAST TWO-THIRDS (66½%) OF THE VOTES CAST IN PERSON OR BY PROXY AT THE MEETING. IT IS THE INTENTION OF THE PERSONS NAMED IN THE ENCLOSED PROXY, IN THE ABSENCE OF INSTRUCTIONS TO THE CONTRARY, TO VOTE THE PROXY FOR THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION RESOLUTION.
7. OTHER MATTERS
The management of the Company is not aware of any other matter to come before the Meeting other than as set forth in the Notice of Meeting. If any other matter properly comes before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed Form of Proxy to vote the shares represented thereby in accordance with their best judgment on such matter.

Information contained in this Statement of Executive Compensation is at June 30, 2025, unless otherwise indicated and all dollar amounts referenced herein are in Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise specified.
For the purpose of this statement of executive compensation, a "CEO" or "CFO" means each individual who served as Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer, respectively, of the Company or acted in a similar capacity during the most recently completed financial year.
A "Named Executive Officer" or "NEO" means each CEO, each CFO, the Company's most highly compensated officer, other than the CEO and CFO, who was serving as an officer at the end of the most recently completed financial year and whose total compensation was more than $150,000, and any additional individuals who would be a Named Executive Officer but for the fact that the individual was not an executive officer of the Company, and was not acting in a similar capacity, at the end of the financial year.
Based on the foregoing definitions, the Company's Named Executive Officers in respect of the year ended June 30, 2025, were Devinder Randhawa, Chief Executive Officer, and Ryan Cheung, Chief Financial Officer, and Raymond Ashley, President.
General
The primary objectives of the Company's executive compensation program are to attract, motivate and retain highly trained, experienced and committed executive officers who have the necessary skills, education, experience and personal qualities required to manage the Company's business for the benefit of its shareholders, and to align their success with that of the shareholders.
Salaries or Consulting Fees: Future base executive compensation, in the form of salaries or consulting fees, will provide a fixed level of compensation for discharging the specific duties and responsibilities of the executive. The Board recognizes that the size of the Company may prohibit executive compensation from matching those of larger companies in the industry. The Board also believes that long-term equity interests, in the form of options (described above), will compensate for lower base fees. This compensation strategy is similar to the strategies of many other companies within the Company's peer group.
Stock Based Compensation: Under the terms of the Company's Stock Option Plan, the Board or a committee of the Board may grant incentive stock options to the Company's directors, officers, employees and consultants to purchase Shares. The purpose of options is to provide a direct long-term incentive to improve shareholder value over time. The level of grant is determined by reference to standards of practice within the junior mining industry and the individual's level of responsibility within the Company. The Company does not have a program or regular annual grant of options. When determining options to be allocated, several factors are considered, including the number of outstanding options held by an individual, the value of such options, and the total number of options available for granting.
When determining executive compensation, the Board will review the compensation policies of companies engaged in businesses similar to the Company's. Although the Company has not obtained any industry reports regarding compensation, at the appropriate time the Board will review publicly available information with respect to compensation paid to the executives of companies that are also engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties.
In setting the base compensation levels for individuals, consideration will be given to objective factors such as the level of responsibility, experience and expertise, as well as subjective factors such as leadership and contribution to corporate performance. Fees will be reviewed annually and adjustments may be made based upon corporate and personal performance, market conditions and the level of responsibility attributed to specific executives.

"Company" means F3 Uranium Corp.;

Compensation Philosophy, Objectives and Governance
Compensation of Named Executive Officers and directors is determined based on discussion by the Board of Directors. The general objectives of the Company's compensation strategy are to (a) compensate management in a manner that encourages and rewards a high level of performance and results with a view to increasing long-term Shareholder value; and (b) align management's interests with the long-term interests of Shareholders.
The Board evaluates individual executive performance with the goal of setting compensation at levels that they believe are comparable with executives in other companies of similar size and stage of development operating in the same industry. In connection with setting appropriate levels of compensation, the Board base their decisions on their general business and industry knowledge and experience and publicly available information of comparable companies while also taking into account the Company's relative performance and strategic goals.

The Compensation Committee was formed by the Board and reviews and makes recommendations to the Board in its oversight role with respect to, among other things:
(a) fair compensation of executive officers and directors of the Company; (b) performance of the CEO and CEO succession planning; (c) individuals qualified to become new directors of the Company, while giving equal consideration to women for Board positions; (d) director nominees for the next annual meeting of Shareholders; (e) the policies of the Board on an annual basis and, if considered appropriate by the Compensation Committee, suggest changes to the Board; (f) performing such tasks as indicated in the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines; and (g) administering the Code and other relevant policies of the Company.
The current members of the Compensation Committee are John DeJoia, Terrence Osier and Rebecca Greco (chair person) with each being an independent director within the meaning of NI 52-110. Mr. DeJoia is the Chairman of the Compensation Committee.
Each member of the Compensation Committee has the necessary experience to enable them to make decisions on the suitability of the Company's compensation policies or practices.
COMPENSATION PROCESS
The Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending to the Board all compensation arrangements for the NEOs of the Company and the directors, including stock option grants, on an annual basis.
Elements of Executive Compensation
The executive officer compensation consists of three basic elements: (i) base salary; ii) the payment of bonuses where appropriate, at the discretion of the Board, and iii incentive stock options. The base salary established for each executive officer is intended to reflect each individual's responsibilities, experience, prior performance and other discretionary factors deemed relevant by the Board. In deciding on the salary portion of the compensation of the executive officers, major consideration is given to the fact that the Company is an early-stage investment company and must rely mainly on funds raised from equity financing. Therefore, greater emphasis may be put the achievement of set strategic investments for the payment of bonuses and on incentive stock option compensation. The incentive stock option portion of the compensation is designed to provide the executive officers of the Company with a long-term incentive in developing the Company's business. Options granted under the Company's stock option plan are approved by the Board, and if applicable, its subcommittees, after consideration of the Company's overall performance and whether the Company has met targets set out by the executive officers in their strategic plan.
As at the year ended June 30, 2025, the significant elements of compensation awarded to the NEOs were cash salaries, cash bonuses and Options. The Board reviews annually the total compensation package of each of the Company's executives on an individual basis, against the backdrop of the compensation goals and objectives described above.
Cash Salary and Bonus
Base compensation and bonus for executive officers of the Company is set annually, having regard to the individual's job responsibilities, contribution, experience and proven or expected performance, as well as to market conditions and peer group analysis. In setting base compensation and bonus levels, consideration is to be given to such factors as level of responsibility, experience and expertise in addition to the policies of the Exchange. Subjective factors such as leadership, commitment and attitude are also to be considered.
Options
As part of the long-term component to the executive compensation program, executive officers of the Company are eligible to receive Options. The maximization of Shareholder value is encouraged by granting Options since it provides an incentive
23 | Page
to eligible persons to further the development, growth and profitability of the Company. Consideration will be given to granting Options amongst the various organizational levels of management, including directors, officers, employees and certain consultants. The CEO makes recommendations to the Board for the CFO, employees and certain consultants. These recommendations are to take into account factors such as awards made in previous years, the number of options and share awards outstanding per individual and the level of responsibility. The Board, as a whole, determines the Options to be issued to the CEO.
Pension Plans
The Company does not have any form of pension plan that provides for payments or benefits to the NEOs at, following or in connection with retirement. The Company does not have any form of deferred compensation plan.
Elements of Director Compensation
The compensation program was put in place whereby the directors of the Company who are not Named Executive Officers ("NEO'S") would receive annual director's fees, paid quarterly. All directors are reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred by them in their capacity as directors, including among other things, travel and out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with meetings of the Board or any committee of the Board. In addition, the directors are entitled to participate in the Company's stock option plan. The Board annually reviews the Company's approach to director compensation, generally, against the backdrop of the compensation goals and objectives described above.
In addition to directors' fees, directors may be compensated in cash and/or equity for their expert advice and contribution towards the success of the Company. The form and amount of such compensation will be evaluated by the Compensation Committee, which will be guided by the following goals:
(i) compensation should be commensurate with the time spent by directors in meeting their obligations and reflective of the compensation paid by companies similar in size and business to the Company; and (ii) the structure of the compensation should be simple, transparent and easy for Shareholders to understand

ORIENTATION AND CONTINUING EDUCATION
When new directors are appointed, they receive orientation commensurate with their previous experience 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 of Directors 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 Compensation Committee determines compensation for the directors and executive officers and is comprised of three (3) directors.
The Company's compensation philosophy for executives continues to follow three underlying principles:
(i) to provide a compensation package that encourages and motivates performance;
(ii) to be competitive with other companies of similar size and scope of operations so as to attract and retain talented executives; and
(iii) to align the interests of its executive officers with the long-term interests of the Company and its securityholders through stock-related programs.
When determining compensation policies and individual compensation levels for executive officers, the Compensation Committee takes into consideration a variety of factors. These factors include overall financial and operating performance of the Company, the Compensation Committee and the Board's overall assessment of each executive's individual performance and contribution towards meeting corporate objectives, levels of responsibility, length of service and industry comparables. Executive compensation is comprised primarily of a base salary and participation in the Company's stock option plan and may also consist of bonuses and other perquisites which are awarded on an occasional basis.
29 | Page
The salary for each executive officer's position is primarily determined having regard for the incumbent's responsibilities, individual performance factors, overall corporate performance, and the assessment of such individual as presented by management to the Board and the Compensation Committee. The salary is intended to provide the executive officer with a compensation level competitive with base salaries within the industry.
Executive officers benefit from improved performance of the Company almost entirely through their participation in the Company stock option plan and from time to time by the receipt of bonuses.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee is responsible for the Company's financial reporting process and the quality of its financial reporting. The Audit Committee is charged with the mandate of providing independent review and oversight of the Company's financial reporting process, the system of internal control and management of financial risks, and the audit process, including the selection, oversight and compensation of the Company's external auditors.
The Audit Committee also assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities by reviewing the Company's process for monitoring compliance with laws and regulations and its own code of business conduct. In performing its duties, the Audit Committee maintains effective working relationships with the Board, management, and the external auditors and monitors the independence of those auditors. The Audit Committee is also responsible for reviewing the Company's financial strategies, its financing plans and its use of the equity and debt markets.
National Instrument 52-110 Audit Committees ("NI 52-110") requires the Company, as a venture issuer to disclose annually in its Information Circular certain information concerning the constitution of its audit committee and its relationship with its independent auditor, as set forth in the following:
Audit Committee Charter
The text of the Company's Audit Committee Charter is attached hereto as Schedule "A" to this Information Circular.
Composition of Audit Committee
The current members of the Audit Committee are Rebecca Greco- Chairperson Terrence Osier, and John DeJoia. All members are considered independent. All members of the Audit Committee are financially literate.
NI 52-110 provides that a member of an audit committee is "independent" if the member has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company, which could, in the view of the Board, reasonably interfere with the exercise of the member's independent judgment.
NI 52-110 provides that an individual is "financially literate" if he or she has the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company's financial statements.
All the Audit Committee members have the ability to read and understand financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company's financial statements.
Relevant Education and Experience
All the Audit Committee members are senior-level businesspeople with experience in financial matters; each has an understanding of accounting principles used by the Company to prepare financial statements and varied experience as to general application of such accounting principles, as well as the internal controls and procedures necessary for financial reporting, garnered from working in their individual fields of endeavour.
30 | Page
In addition, each of the members of the Audit Committee have knowledge of the role of an audit committee in the realm of reporting companies from their years of experience as directors or officers of public companies other than the Company.
John DeJoia
Mr. DeJoia has over 40 years in the uranium industry and holds a B.S. in Geology from the University of Wyoming. John has held positions as Chief Geologist, Director of Technical Services, Construction Manager and Senior Vice-President positions.
Terrence Osier
Mr. Osier has a Master of Science in Geology from Idaho State University, and a Bachelor of Science in Geology from Western Washington University and has over 10 years in the public sector.
Rebecca Greco
Ms. Greco is an experienced public Company consultant, who provides targeted solutions in the mining sector through her firm Fig House Communications.
Audit Committee Oversight
At no time since the commencement of the Company's most recently completed financial year was a recommendation of the Audit Committee to nominate or compensate an external auditor not adopted by the board of directors.
Reliance on Certain Exemptions
In respect of the Company's most recently completed financial year, the Company has not relied on the exemption in section 2.4 (De Minimis Non-audit Services) of NI 52-110 or an exemption from NI 52-110, in whole or in part, granted by a securities regulator under Part 8 (Exemptions) of NI 52-110. In respect of the most recently completed financial year, the Company is relying on the exemption set out in section 6.1 of NI 52-110 with respect to compliance with the requirements of Part 5 (Reporting Obligations) of NI 52-110.
Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures for Non-Audit Services
The Audit Committee has not adopted specific policies and procedures for the engagement of non-audit services. Subject to the requirements of NI 52-110, the engagement of non-audit services is considered by the Company's Board, and where applicable the audit committee, on a case-by-case basis.
External Auditor Service Fees

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES
In accordance with National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices and National Policy 58-201 – Corporate Governance Guidelines ("NP 58-201"), issuers are to disclose the corporate governance practices that they have adopted. NP 58-201 provides guidance on corporate governance practices.
The Board has delegated the corporate governance of the Company to the CCGN Committee. The Board and the Company's management consider good corporate governance to be central to the effective and efficient operation of the Company. Below is a discussion of the Company's approach to corporate governance.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Independence of Board of Directors
Under National Instrument 52-110 - Audit Committees ("NI 52-110"), a director is independent if he or she has no direct or indirect material relationship with us. 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 judgment. NI 52-110 also sets out certain situations where a director will automatically be considered to have a material relationship with us. More than half of our current directors are independent: Ms. Greco, Mr. DeJoia and Osier are "independent" within the meaning of NI 52-110. Mr. Randhawa and Mr. Ashley are not independent because they serve respectively as the CEO and President of the Company, respectively.
Board Oversight
The Board currently consists of five (5) members, three of whom are independent. Mr. Randhawa is currently the Chair of the Board. Post meeting date the Board will consist of 4 members. The Board has the overall responsibility for the strategic planning and general management of the business and affairs of the Company. The Board facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over management through a combination of formal meetings of the Board, as well as informal discussions amongst the Board members combined with input from its committees having a majority of independent directors
BOARD REVIEW PROCESS
The Company does not have a formal Board Review Policy. The Board, on an ad hoc basis, conducts informal assessments of the Board's effectiveness, the individual directors, the reports from the committees and communication between the Board and management.
COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Committees of the Board are an integral part of the Company's governance structure. At the present time, the Company has no standing committees other than the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
ASSESSMENTS
The board has not, as yet, established procedures to formally review the contributions of individual directors. At this point, the directors believe that the board's current size facilitates informal discussion and evaluation of members' contributions within that framework.
Director Term Limits and Other Mechanisms of Board Renewal
The Company has not adopted formal term limits or a formal retirement policy for its directors. The By-laws of the Company provide that all directors in office shall retire at the next annual general meeting of the Shareholders and if qualified, shall be eligible for re-election. Accordingly, the Company has determined that term limits or mandatory retirement based on age is not necessary. The Company feels that the imposition of such limits could be counter productive as it has been the Company's experience that its directors become increasingly more effective, and better able to provide fresh insights and perspectives and to function independently from management, as they gain experience and a deeper understanding of the Company's business and its strategic and operational objectives.
Policies Regarding the Representation of Women on the Board
The Company does not have a written policy or set targets relating to the identification and nomination of women on the Board. The Board may consider the adoption of such a policy in the future if it deems it to be in the best interests of the Company. The Board is committed to nominating the best candidates to fulfill director roles and executive officer positions taking into account diversity and personal characteristics such as age, gender, race, cultural and educational background to ensure the Board and executive officers have the proper skills, expertise and diversity of perspectives. At this time, the Board has determined that it is not necessary of the Company to have such written policies given the current size of the Board, the relatively static composition of the Board over recent years and that the nominating function is currently performed by the Board as a whole.
Consideration of the Representation of Women in Director Identification and Selection
The Board is relatively static, with few new directors being nominated by the Board on an annual basis. However, when the Board does identify and nominate new directors, it aims to maintain a composition which provides the best mix of perspectives, experience and expertise to lead the Company's long-term strategy and monitor ongoing business operations. When identifying and nominating new members, the Board will do so with a view to its overall diversity, including level of representation of women on the Board in tandem with other considerations, including a candidate's experience, skills, independence, and the time a proposed nominee is able to devote to the Board.
Consideration of the Representation of Women in Executive Officer Appointments
In making new executive officer appointments, the Board considers the overall diversity of the Company's executive team, including the level of women in executive positions, in tandem with other considerations, including candidates' experience, skills, independence, and the time a proposed nominee is able to devote to the appointment. Currently, the Company has a woman in the director position and as the Corporate Secretary.
INTEREST OF INFORMED PERSONS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS
Except as disclosed herein or above, no informed person (a director, officer or holder of 10% or more of the Common Shares) or nominee for election as a director of the Company or any associate or affiliate of any informed person or proposed director had any interest in any transaction since the commencement of the Company's most recently completed financial year or in any proposed transaction which has materially affected or would materially affect the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS
The management functions of the Company are not to any substantial degree performed by any person other than the executive officers and directors of the Company.
