Exercise of Compensation Securities by Directors and NEOs

There were no compensation securities exercised by the Corporation’s Named Executive Officers and Directors during the financial year of the Corporation ended April 30, 2025.

Stock Option Plan and Other Incentive Plans

Stock options are granted to provide an incentive to the directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company to achieve the longer-term objectives of the Company; to give suitable recognition to the ability and industry of such persons who contribute materially to the success of the Company; and to attract and retain persons of experience and ability, by providing them with the opportunity to acquire an increased proprietary interest in the Company. The Company awards stock options to its executive officers based upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, which recommendation is based upon the Committee’s review of a proposal from the Chief Executive Officer. Previous grants of incentive stock options are taken into account when considering new grants. Implementation of a new incentive stock option plan and amendments to the existing stock option plan are the responsibility of the Company’s Compensation Committee.

Material Terms of the Stock Option Plan

Effective May 1, 2003, and amended April 14, 2011, the Board of Directors adopted a stock option plan, which was accepted by the TSX Venture Exchange authorizing the issuance of incentive stock options to eligible persons for up to an aggregate of 10% of the issued shares of the Company from time to time. The stock option plan must be approved annually by the shareholders of the Company, in accordance with the policies of the exchange. The stock option plan has been previously approved by the shareholders at the general annual meeting held on October 30, 2024 and is set for reapproval at the next annual general meeting of the Company.

Eligible Participants

Pursuant to the stock option plan, the Board of Directors may from time to time authorize the issue of options to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries or employees of companies providing management or consulting services to the Company or its subsidiaries.

Number of Shares Reserved

The maximum number of common shares which may be issued pursuant to options previously granted and those granted under the stock option plan will be a maximum of 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company at the time of the grant. Options which are terminated or expire prior to exercise continue to be issuable under the stock option plan.

Limitations

The number of stock options which may be granted to any one person must not exceed 5% of the issued shares over any 12-month period (unless otherwise approved by the disinterested shareholders of the Company), and not more than 10% of the total issued shares to all insiders at any time or granted over any 12-month period. The number of options granted to any one consultant or person employed to provide investor relations activities in any 12-month period must not exceed 2% of the total issued shares of the Company.

Term of Options

Subject to the termination provisions noted below, the terms of any stock option granted under the stock option plan is determined by the Board of Directors and may not exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant.

Exercise Price. Options may have an exercise price no less than the closing market price of the common shares prevailing on the day that the option is granted less a discount, the amount of the discount varying with market price in accordance with the policies of the exchange.

Reduction of Exercise Price. Subject to exchange policies, disinterested shareholder approval will be obtained for any reduction in the exercise price of a stock option if the optionee is an insider of the Company at the time of the proposed amendment of the stock option plan.

Vesting. The stock option plan contains no vesting requirements, except for optionees engaged in investor relations activities as required by the policies of the exchange, but otherwise permits the Board of Directors to specify a vesting schedule in its discretion.

Termination. In the event of the death or permanent disability of an optionee, any option granted to such optionee will be exercisable upon the earlier of one year from the date of death or permanent disability, or the expiry date of the option. In the event of the resignation, or the termination or removal of an optionee without just cause, any option granted to such optionee will be exercisable for a period of 30 days thereafter. In the event of termination for cause, any option granted to such optionee will be cancelled as at the date of termination

Administration. The stock option plan is administered by the Board of Directors. The Company awards stock options to its executive officers based upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, which recommendation is based upon the Committee’s review of a proposal from the Chief Executive Officer.

Oversight and description of director and named executive officer compensation

In assessing the compensation of its executive officers, the Company does not have in place any formal objectives, criteria or analysis; instead, it relies mainly on Board discussions, with input from and upon the recommendations of the Compensation Committee.

The Company’s executive compensation program has three principal components: base salary, incentive bonus plan and stock options. The determination and administration of base salaries or incentive bonuses, or both, are discussed in greater detail below. When appropriate to do so, incentive bonuses in the form of cash payments, are designed to add a variable component of compensation, in addition to stock options, based on corporate and individual performances for Named Executive Officers, and may or may not be awarded in any financial year. The Company has no other forms of compensation for its NEOs, although payments may be made from time to time to individuals who are NEOs or companies they control, for the provision of consulting services. Such consulting services are paid for by the Company at competitive industry rates for work of a similar nature by reputable arm’s length services providers.

The Company notes that it is in an exploration phase with respect to its properties, has to operate with limited financial resources, and must control costs to ensure that funds are available to complete scheduled exploration programs and otherwise fund its operations. The Board of Directors has to consider the current and anticipated financial position of the Company at the time of any compensation determination. The Board of Directors has attempted to keep the cash compensation paid to the Company’s NEOs and directors relatively modest, while providing long-term incentives through the granting of stock options.

The Company’s executive compensation program is administered by the Board of Directors, upon the recommendations of the Compensation Committee, and is designed to provide incentives for the enhancement of shareholder value. The overall objectives are to attract and retain qualified executives critical to the success of the Company, to provide fair and competitive compensation, to align the interest of management with those of the Shareholders and to reward corporate and individual performance. The Company’s compensation package has been structured in order to link shareholder return, measured by the change in the share price, with executive compensation through the use of incentive stock options as the primary element of variable compensation for its Named Executive Officers. The Company does not currently offer long-term incentive plans or pension plans to its Named Executive Officers.

The Company bases the compensation for a NEO on the years of service with the Company, responsibilities of each officer and their duties in that position. The Company also bases compensation on the performance of each officer. The Company believes that stock options can create a strong incentive to the performance of each officer and is intended to recognize extra contributions and achievements towards the goals of the Company. The Board of Directors, when determining cash compensation payable to a NEO, takes into consideration their experience in the exploration and mining industry, as well as their responsibilities and duties and contributions to the Company’s success. Named Executive Officers receive a base cash compensation that the Company feels is in line with that paid by similar companies in North America, subject to the Company’s financial resources; however, no formal survey was completed by the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors.

In performing its duties, the Board of Directors has considered the implications of risks associated with the Company’s compensation policies and practices. At its early stage of development and considering its current compensation policies, the Company has no compensation policies or practices that would encourage an executive officer or other individual to take inappropriate or excessive risks.

A Named Executive Officer or director is permitted for his or her own benefit and at his or her own risk, to purchase financial instruments, including, for greater certainty, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity

swaps, collars or units or exchange funds, that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in the market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the Named Executive Officer or director.

Pension Plan Contributions

The Company does not offer a defined contribution pension plan, defined benefits pension plan or other deferred compensation plan to its employees or NEOs.
