INFORMATION CIRCULAR

AS AT AUGUST 1, 2023

This Information Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Management of FJORDLAND EXPLORATION INC. (the “Company”) for use at the Meeting of the shareholders of the Company (the “Shareholders”), to be held at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting and at any adjournment thereof. Except where otherwise indicated, the information contained herein is stated as of August 1, 2023.

In this Information Circular, references to the “Company”, “we” and “our” refer to Fjordland Exploration Inc. “Common Shares” means common shares without par value in the capital of the Company. “Registered Shareholders” means shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of Common Shares. “Non-Registered Shareholders” means shareholders who do not hold Common Shares in their own name. “Intermediaries” refers to brokers, investment firms, clearing houses and similar entities that own securities on behalf of Non-Registered Shareholders.

GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

Solicitation of Proxies

THE ENCLOSED PROXY IS BEING SOLICITED BY MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY. Solicitations will be made by mail and possibly supplemented by telephone or other personal contact to be made, without special compensation, by regular officers and employees of the Company. The Company will bear all costs of this solicitation. We have arranged to send meeting materials directly to Registered Shareholders, as well as Non-Registered Shareholders who have consented to their ownership information being disclosed by the Intermediary holding the Common Shares on their behalf (non-objecting beneficial owners). We have not arranged for Intermediaries to forward the meeting materials to Non-Registered Shareholders who have objected to their ownership information being disclosed by the Intermediary holding the Common Shares on their behalf (objecting beneficial owners). As a result, objecting beneficial owners will not receive the Information Circular and associated meeting materials unless their Intermediary assumes the costs of delivery. The Company is relying on the Notice-and-Access provisions of NI 54-101 to send proxy-related materials to Registered Shareholders or Non-Registered Shareholders in connection with the Meeting.

Appointment and Revocation of Proxies

The persons named in the accompanying form of Proxy (the “Proxy”) are Directors or Officers of the Company. If you are a Registered Shareholder, you have the right to attend the meeting or vote by proxy and to appoint a person or company other than the person 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. Registered Shareholders electing to submit a Proxy may do so by:

i) Completing, dating and signing the enclosed Proxy and returning it to the Company’s transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. (“Computershare”), by fax in North America at 1- 866-249-7775, or by mail or hand delivery at 9[th] Floor, 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1, Canada;
ii) Using a touch-tone phone to transmit voting choices to the toll-free number given in the Proxy. Registered Shareholders who choose this option must follow the instructions of the voice response system and refer to the enclosed Proxy for the toll-free number, the Registered Shareholder’s account number and the Proxy Control Number; or
2 -
iii) Using the internet through the website of Computershare at www.investorvote.com. Registered Shareholders who choose this option must follow the instructions that appear on the screen and refer to the enclosed Proxy for the Registered Shareholder’s account number and the Proxy Control Number.

In all cases you should ensure the Proxy is received at least 48 hours before the Meeting or the adjournement thereof at which the Proxy is to be used.

Every Proxy may be revoked by an instrument in writing:

i) executed by the Registered Shareholder or by his/her attorney authorized in writing or, where the Registered Shareholder is a company, by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the company; and
ii) delivered either to the registered office of the Company at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, at which the Proxy is to be used, or to the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof;

or in any other manner provided by law.

Only Registered Shareholders have the right to revoke a Proxy. Non-Registered Shareholders who wish to change their vote must, at least seven days before the Meeting, arrange for their respective Intermediaries to revoke the Proxy on their behalf. If you are a Non-Registered Shareholder, see “NonRegistered Shareholders” below for further information on how to vote your Common Shares.

Exercise of Discretion by Proxyholder

If you vote by proxy, the persons named in the Proxy will vote or withhold from voting the 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:

i) each matter or group of matters identified therein for which a choice is not specified;
ii) any amendment to or variation of any matter identified therein;
iii) any other matter that properly comes before the Meeting; and
iv) exercise of discretion of proxyholder.

Non-Registered Shareholders

The following information is of significant importance to Shareholders who do not hold Common Shares in their own name. Non-Registered Shareholders should note that the only Proxies that can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting are those deposited by Registered Shareholders.

If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by an Intermediary, then in almost all cases those Common shares will not be registered in the Shareholder’s name on the records of the Company. Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Non-Registered Shareholder’s Intermediary or an agent of that Intermediary. In Canada, the majority of such Common Shares are registered 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), and in the United States, under the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company (which acts as depository for many U.S. brokerage firms and custodian banks).

If you have consented to disclosure of your ownership information, you will receive a request for voting instructions from the Company. If you have declined to disclose your ownership information, you may receive a request for voting instructions from your Intermediary if they have assumed the cost of delivering the meeting materials. Every Intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients. However, most Intermediaries now delegate responsibility for obtaining voting

instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) in Canada and the United States.

If you are a Non-Registered Shareholder, you should carefully follow the instructions on the voting instruction form received from Broadridge in order to ensure that your Common Shares are voted at the Meeting. The voting instruction form supplied to you will be similar to the Proxy provided to the Registered Shareholders by the Company. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the Intermediary on how to vote on your behalf.

The voting instruction form sent by Broadridge will name the same persons as the Company’s Proxy to represent you at the Meeting. Although as a Non-Registered Shareholder you may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Common Shares registered in the name of your intermediary, you, or a person designated by you (who need not be a Shareholder), may attend the Meeting as Proxyholder for your Intermediary and vote your Common Shares in that capacity. To exercise this right to attend the Meeting or appoint a Proxyholder of your own choosing, you should insert your own name or the name of the desired representative in the blank space provided in the voting instruction form. Alternatively, you may provide other written instructions requesting that you or your desired representative attend the Meeting as Proxyholder for your Intermediary. The completed voting instruction form or other written instructions must then be returned in accordance with the instructions on the form.

If you receive a voting instruction form from Broadridge, you cannot use it to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting – the voting instruction form must be completed as described above and returned in accordance with its instructions well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

General

A summary of the responsibilities and activities and the membership of each of the Committees is set out below. National Instrument 58-201 – Corporate Governance Guidelines establishes corporate governance guidelines which apply to all public companies. The Company has reviewed its own corporate governance practices in light of these guidelines. In certain cases, the Company’s practices comply with the guidelines, however, the board of directors (the “ Board ”) considers that some of the guidelines are not suitable for the Company at its current stage of development and therefore these guidelines have not been adopted. National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices mandates disclosure of corporate governance practices, which disclosure is set out below.

A. Independence of Members of the Board

The Company's Board consists of five directors, of whom Peter Krag-Hansen, Victor A. Tanaka, John Sheedy and Scott Broughton are independent based upon the tests for independence set forth in National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees (“ NI 52-110 ”). James Tuer, President and CEO, is not considered independent.

B. Management Supervision by the Board

The size of the Company is such that all the Company’s operations are conducted by a small management team which is also represented on the Board. The Board considers that management is effectively supervised by the independent directors on an informal basis as the independent directors are actively and regularly involved in reviewing the operations of the Company and have regular and full access to management. The independent directors are able to meet at any time without any members of management including the non-independent directors, being present. Further supervision is performed through the audit committee which is composed of two independent directors who meet with the Company's auditors annually or as required throughout the fiscal year.

C. Participation of Directors In Other Reporting Issuers

The participation of the directors in other reporting issuers is described in the table provided under "Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon – Elections of Directors" in this Information Circular.

D. Orientation and Continuing Education

While the Company does not have formal orientation and training programs, new Board members are provided with:

information respecting the functioning of the Board and committees;
access to recent, publicly filed documents of the Company; and
access to management.

Board members are encouraged to communicate with management, auditors and technical consultants; to keep themselves current with industry trends and developments and changes in legislation with management’s assistance; and to attend related industry seminars and visit the Company’s operations. Board members have full access to the Company's records.

E. Ethical Business Conduct

The Board views good corporate governance as an integral component to the success of the Company and to meet responsibilities to Shareholders. The Company has in place a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, a Whistleblower Policy, and an Insider Trading Policy, attached hereto.

F. Nomination of Directors

The Board has responsibility for identifying potential Board candidates. The Board assesses potential Board candidates to fill perceived needs on the Board for required skills, expertise, independence and other factors. Members of the Board and representatives of the mining exploration industry are consulted for possible candidates.

G. Compensation

Compensation paid to NEOs and directors is described in Items B and C of the section entitled “Statement of Executive Compensation”.

H. Board Committees

In addition to the Audit Committee, and the Compensation Committee the Board has a Corporate Governance Committee consisting of James Tuer, Peter Krag-Hansen and Victor A. Tanaka. The Corporate Governance Committee reviews corporate policies and has incorporated a code of ethics and conduct for employees to ensure that high business standards are maintained and that the Company is compliant with regulatory requirements.

I. Assessments

The Board does not consider that formal assessments would be useful at this stage of the Company’s development.

AUDIT COMMITTEE DISCLOSURE

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 below.

The Company’s audit committee is governed by an audit committee charter, the text of which is attached as Schedule “A” to this Information Circular.

The Company’s audit committee is comprised of three directors: John Sheedy, Peter Krag-Hansen and Victor A. Tanaka. As defined in NI 52-110, all members are considered “independent” directors and are considered “financially literate”. The audit committee meets the requirements applicable to a “venture issuer” (as defined in National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations ).

The educational background or experience of the respective audit committee members that has enabled each to perform his responsibilities as an audit committee member and has provided the member with an understanding of the accounting principles used by the Company to prepare its financial statements, the ability to assess the general application of such accounting principles in connection with the accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves as well as experience 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 individuals engaged in such activities and an understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting is as follows:

John Sheedy has over 30 years of investment, transaction and corporate decision-making experience, most recently with the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan (Teachers’) where he spent 16 years as an investor in public markets and in private equity. He has sourced and led investment transactions in multiple sectors, including metals and mining, in Canada, the U.S. and Brazil. Before joining Teachers’, John was a partner at a Toronto-based merchant banking fund and a partner at Torys LLP where he practiced corporate and securities law. He has served on the boards of several private and not-for-profit companies and holds the ICD.d designation from the Institute of Corporate Directors. John received a B.A. Hons (Economics) from the University of Western Ontario and an LL.B. from Queen’s University.

Peter Krag-Hansen was previously a Senior Vice President and Director of Canaccord Capital Corporation, the largest independent investment firm in Canada. Mr. Krag-Hansen has over 20 years of experience in the securities field.

10 -

Victor A. Tanaka is a geologist with over thirty years of experience managing and directing junior exploration companies across North America. Mr. Tanaka is a director of a number of resource issuers.

Since the commencement of the Company’s most recently completed financial year, the Company’s Board has not failed to adopt a recommendation of the audit committee to nominate or compensate an external auditor.

Since the effective date of NI 52-110, the Company has not relied on the exemptions contained in sections 2.4 or 8 of NI 52-110 or an exemption from NI 52-110 in whole or in part, granted under Part 8 of NI 52-110. Section 2.4 provides an exemption from the requirement that the audit committee must pre-approve all nonaudit services to be provided by the auditor, where the total amount of fees related to the non-audit services are not expected to exceed 5% of the total fees payable to the auditor in the fiscal year in which the nonaudit services were provided. Section 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.

The audit committee has specific policies and procedures for the engagement of non-audit services, as described in its audit committee charter.

In the following table, “audit fees” are fees billed by the Company’s external auditor for services provided in auditing the Company’s annual financial statements for the subject year. “Audit-related fees” are fees not included in audit fees that are billed by the auditor for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements. “Tax fees” are fees billed by the auditor for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. “All other fees” are fees billed by the auditor for products and services not included in the foregoing categories.

The fees paid by the Company to its auditor in each of the last two fiscal years, by category, are as follows:

Financial Year Ending	Audit Fees	Audit Related Fees	Tax Fees	All Other Fees
December 31, 2021	$25,000	$Nil	$2,500	$Nil
December 31, 2022	$27,000	$Nil	$8,000	$6,100

The Company is relying on the exemption provided by section 6.1 of NI 52-110 which provides that the Company, as a venture issuer, is not required to comply with Part 3 (Composition of the Audit Committee) and Part 5 (Reporting Obligations) of NI 52-110.

PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The audited financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended December 31, 2022, together with the Auditors’ Report thereon, will be presented to the shareholders at the Meeting.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The persons named in the enclosed Instrument of Proxy intend to vote in favour of fixing the number of Directors at four (4) .

Each Director of the Company is elected annually and holds office until the next Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders unless that person ceases to be a Director before then.

Summary of the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan

The following is a summary of the key provisions of the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan.

Purpose

The purpose of the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan is:

(a) to increase the interest in the Company's welfare of those employees, officers, directors and consultants (who are considered "Eligible Participants" under the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan) who share responsibility for the management, growth and protection of the business of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company;
(b) to provide an incentive to such Eligible Participants to continue their services for the Company or a subsidiary of the Company and to encourage such Eligible Participants whose skills, performance and loyalty to the objectives and interests of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company are necessary or essential to its success, image, reputation or activities;
(c) to reward Eligible Participants for their performance of services while working for the Company or a subsidiary of the Company; and
(d) to provide a means through which the Company or a subsidiary of the Company may attract and retain able persons to enter its employment or service.
13 -

Plan Administration

The Proposed Equity Incentive Plan shall be administered and interpreted by the Board or, if the Board by resolution so decides, by a committee appointed by the Board. Subject to the terms of the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan, applicable law and the rules of the TSX Venture Exchange, the Board (or its delegate) will have the power and authority to: (i) designate the Eligible Participants who will receive Awards (an Eligible Participant who receives an Award, a "Participant"), (ii) designate the types and amount of Awards to be granted to each Participant, (iii) determine the terms and conditions of any Award, including any vesting conditions or conditions based on performance of the Company or of an individual ("Performance Criteria"); (iv) interpret and administer the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to it, or any Award made under it; and (v) make such amendments to the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan and Awards as are permitted by the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Shares Available for Awards

Subject to adjustment as provided for under the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan, and as may be approved by the TSX Venture Exchange and the shareholders of the Company from time to time, the maximum number of Shares reserved for issuance, in the aggregate, pursuant to the exercise of Awards granted under the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan shall be equal to 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares on a non-diluted basis from time to time.

Participation Limits

The Proposed Equity Incentive Plan provides the following limitations on grants:

(a) In no event shall the Proposed Share Equity Plan, together with all other previously established and outstanding share compensation arrangements of the Company, permit at any time:
(i) the aggregate number of Shares reserved for issuance under Awards granted to Insiders (as a group) at any point in time exceeding 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares on a non-diluted basis; or
(ii) the grant to Insiders (as a group), within any 12 month period, of an aggregate number of Awards exceeding 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares on a non-diluted basis, calculated at the date an Award is granted to any Insider,

unless the Company has obtained the requisite disinterested shareholder approval.

(b) The maximum aggregate number of Awards granted to any one person (and companies whollyowned by that person) in any 12 month period shall not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding Shares on a non-diluted basis, calculated on the date an Award is granted to the person, unless the Company has obtained the requisite disinterested shareholder approval.
(c) The maximum aggregate number of Awards granted to any one Consultant in any 12 month period shall not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Shares on a non-diluted basis, calculated at the date an Award is granted to the Consultant.
(d) The maximum aggregate number of Options granted to all persons retained to provide Investor Relations Activities shall not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Shares on a non-diluted basis in any 12 month period, calculated at the date an Option is granted to any such person.
(e) In the event that any dividend equivalents are awarded in respect of a Share Unit or DSU or any DSU or Share Unit granted has payout multiplier features which would cause the number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan to exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares or otherwise cause any of the participation limits in the proposed Equity Incentive Plan not to be met, the Board shall be permitted to satisfy such dividend equivalent or payout multiplier through the payment of cash.
14 -

Eligible Participants

In respect of a grant of Options, an Eligible Participant is any director, executive officer, employee or Consultant of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. In respect of a grant of Share Units, an Eligible Participant is any director, executive officer, employee or Consultant of the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than persons retained to provide Investor Relations Activities, who may not receive any Share Units. In respect of a grant of DSUs, an Eligible Participant is any non-employee director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than persons retained to provide Investor Relations Activities.

Description of Awards

Options

An Option is an option granted by the Company to a Participant entitling such Participant to acquire a designated number of Shares from treasury at a specified exercise price (the "Option Price"). Options are exercisable over a period established by the Board from time to time and reflected in the Participant's Option Agreement, which period shall not exceed 10 years from the date of grant. Notwithstanding the expiration provisions set forth in the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan, if the date on which an Option expires falls within a Blackout Period (as defined in the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan), the expiration date of the Option will be the date that is ten (10) Business Days after the Blackout Period Expiry Date. The Option Price shall not be set at less than the Market Value of a Share (as defined in the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan) as of the date of the grant, less any discount permitted by the TSX Venture Exchange.

At the time of grant of an Option, the Board may establish vesting conditions in respect of each Option grant, which may include performance criteria related to corporate or individual performance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options granted to persons retained to provide Investor Relations Activities must vest in stages over a period of not less than 12 months with no more than one-quarter (1/4) of the Options vesting in any three month period.

No acceleration of the vesting provisions of Options granted to persons retained to provide Investor Relations Activities is allowed without the prior acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Share Units

A Share Unit is an Award that is a bonus for services rendered in the year of grant that, upon settlement, entitles the recipient Participant to receive a cash payment equal to the Market Value of a Share or, at the sole discretion of the Board, a Share. The right of a holder to have their Share Units redeemed is subject to such restrictions and conditions on vesting as the Board may determine at the time of grant, , provided that no Share Unit will vest on a date earlier than the date which is one year following issuance subject to a Change of Control or, at the discretion of the Board, in the case of the death of Participant. Restrictions and conditions on vesting conditions may, without limitation, be based on the passage of time during continued employment or other service relationship (commonly referred to as an RSU), the achievement of specified Performance Criteria (commonly referred to as a PSU) or both.

The Board shall have sole discretion to determine if any vesting conditions with respect to a Share Unit, including any Performance Criteria, or other vesting conditions with respect to a Share Unit, have been met and shall communicate to a Participant as soon as reasonably practicable the date on which all such applicable vesting conditions or Performance Criteria have been satisfied and the Share Units have vested, provided that . Subject to the vesting and other conditions and provisions in the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan and in the applicable Share Unit Agreement, each Share Unit awarded to a Participant shall entitle the Participant to receive, on settlement, a cash payment equal to the Market Value of a Share, or, at the discretion of the Board, one Share or any combination of cash and Shares as the Board in its sole discretion may determine, in each case less any applicable withholding taxes. The Company (or the applicable subsidiary) may, in its sole discretion, elect to settle all or any portion of the cash payment obligation by the delivery of Shares issued from treasury or acquired in the secondary market by an independent broker appointed by the Board, on behalf of the Participant. Subject to the terms and conditions in the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan, vested Share Units shall be redeemed by the Company (or the applicable subsidiary) as described above on the earlier of the expiry date of the Share Units or the 15th day following the vesting date.

15 -

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the date on which any Share Units would otherwise vest falls within a Blackout Period or within nine Business Days after a Blackout Period expiry date, the vesting date of such Share Units will be deemed to be the date that is the earlier of ten (10) Business Days after the Blackout Period expiry date and the Share Unit expiry date.

Dividend equivalents may, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, be awarded as a bonus for services rendered in the year in respect of unvested Share Units in a Participant's account on the same basis as cash dividends declared and paid on Shares as if the Participant was a holder of record of Shares on the relevant record date. In the event that the Participant's applicable Share Units do not vest, all dividend equivalents, if any, associated with such Share Units will be forfeited by the Participant.

Deferred Share Units

A DSU is an Award for services rendered, or for future services to be rendered, and that, upon settlement, entitles the recipient Participant to receive cash or acquire Shares, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

A Participant is only entitled to redemption of a DSU when the Participant ceases to be a director of the Company for any reason, including termination, retirement or death. The Board does not have the right to alter the vesting conditions of DSUs, which conditions will immediately vest upon termination of employment, provided that no DSU vest on a date earlier than the date which is one year following issuance subject to a Change of Control or, at the discretion of the Board, in the case of the death of Participant.

Subject to the vesting and other conditions and provisions in the Proposed Equiy Incentive Plan and in any DSU Agreement, each DSU awarded to a Participant shall entitle the Participant to receive on settlement a cash payment equal to the Market Value of a Share, or, at the discretion of the Board, one Share or any combination of cash and Shares as the Company in its sole discretion may determine.

DSUs shall be redeemed and settled by the Company as soon as reasonably practicable following the Participant's termination date, but in any event not later than, and any payment (either in cash or in Shares) in respect of the settlement of such DSUs shall be made no later than, December 15th of the first calendar year commencing immediately after the Participant's termination date. The Company will have, at its sole discretion, the ability to elect to settle all or any portion of the cash payment obligation by the delivery of Shares issued from treasury or acquired in the secondary market by an independent broker appointed by the Board on behalf of the Participant.

Dividend equivalents may, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, be awarded in respect of DSUs in a Participant's account on the same basis as cash dividends declared and paid on Shares as if the Participant was a holder of record of Shares on the relevant record date. In the event that the Participant's applicable DSUs do not vest, all dividend equivalents, if any, associated with such DSUs will be forfeited by the Participant.

Effect of Termination on Awards

(i) any vested or unvested Options granted to such Participant shall terminate automatically and become void immediately; and
(ii) the Participant's participation in the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan shall be terminated immediately, and all Share Units credited to such Participant's account that have not vested shall be forfeited and cancelled, and the Participant's rights that relate to such Participant's unvested Share Units shall be forfeited and cancelled on the termination date.
(c) Termination not for Cause: Upon a Participant ceasing to be an Eligible Participant as a result of his or her employment or service relationship with the Company or a subsidiary being terminated without Cause:
(i) each unvested Option granted to such Participant shall terminate and become void immediately;
(ii) each vested Option held by such Participant shall cease to be exercisable on the earlier of (A) ninety (90) days after the Participant's termination date (or such later date as the Board may, in its sole discretion, determine, provided that in no case shall such date exceed 12 months following termination) and (B) the expiry date of such Option as set forth in the applicable Option Agreement, after which such vested Option will expire; and
(iii) all unvested Share Units in the Participant's account as of such date relating to a Restriction Period in progress shall be forfeited and cancelled (unless the Board, in its sole discretion, instead accelerates the vesting or waives vesting conditions with respect to all or some portion of such unvested Share Units).
(d) Termination Due to Retirement or Permanent Disability: Upon a Participant ceasing to be an Eligible Participant by reason of retirement or permanent disability:
(i) each unvested Option granted to such Participant shall terminate and become void immediately;
(ii) each vested Option held by such Participant shall cease to be exercisable on the earlier of (A) ninety (90) days from the date of retirement or the date on which the Participant ceases his or her employment or service relationship with the Company or any subsidiary by reason of permanent disability (or such later date as the Board may, in its sole discretion, determine) and (B) the expiry date of such Option as set forth in the applicable Option Agreement, after which such vested Option will expire; and
(iii) all unvested Share Units in the Participant's account as of such date relating to a Restriction Period in progress shall be forfeited and cancelled (unless the Board, in its sole discretion, instead accelerates the vesting or waives vesting conditions with respect to all or some portion of such unvested Share Units).
(e) Termination Due to Death: Upon a Participant ceasing to be an Eligible Participant by reason of death:
(i) each unvested Option granted to such Participant shall terminate and become void immediately;
(ii) each vested Option held by such Participant at the time of death may be exercised by the liquidator, executor or administrator, as the case may be, of the estate of the
17 -

Participant, provided that any such vested Option shall cease to be exercisable on the earlier of (A) the date that is twelve (12) months after the Participant's death and (B) the expiry date of such Option as set forth in the applicable Option Agreement, after which such vested Option will expire; and

(iii) all unvested Share Units in the Participant's account as of such date relating to a Restriction Period in progress shall be forfeited and cancelled (unless the Board, in its sole discretion, instead accelerates the vesting or waives vesting conditions with respect to all or some portion of such unvested Share Units).

(i) all unvested Options granted to such Participant shall immediately vest and become exercisable, and remain open for exercise until the earlier of (A) their expiry date as set out in the applicable Option Agreement and (B) the date that is ninety (90) days after such termination or dismissal; and
(ii) all unvested Share Units shall become vested, and the date of such Participant's termination date shall be deemed to be the vesting date.

Change of Control

In the event of a Change of Control, the Board will have the power, in its sole discretion, to accelerate the vesting of Options to assist the Participants to tender into a take-over bid or participate in any other transaction leading to a Change of Control. For greater certainty, in the event of a take-over bid or any other transaction leading to a Change of Control, the Board shall have the power, in its sole discretion, to (a) provide that any or all Options shall thereupon terminate, provided that any such outstanding Options that have vested shall remain exercisable until consummation of such Change of Control, and (b) permit Participants to conditionally exercise their vested Options immediately prior to the consummation of the take-over bid and the Shares issuable under such Options to be tendered to such bid, such conditional exercise to be conditional upon the take-up by such offeror of the Shares or other securities tendered to such take-over bid in accordance with the terms of such take-over bid (or the effectiveness of such other transaction leading to a Change of Control). In the event of a Change of Control, the Board may also exercise its discretion to accelerate the vesting of, or waive the Performance Criteria or other vesting conditions applicable to, outstanding Share Units, and the date of such action shall be the vesting date of such Share Units.

Assignment

Except as set forth in the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan, each Award granted under the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan is personal to the Participant and shall not be assignable or transferable by the Participant, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

Amendment or Discontinuance

The Board may amend the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan or any Award at any time without the consent of the Participants, provided that such amendment shall not adversely alter or impair the rights of any Participant without the consent of such Participant (except as permitted by the provisions of the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan), is in compliance with applicable law, and subject to any regulatory approvals including, where required, the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (or any other stock exchange on which the Shares are listed) and is subject to shareholder approval to the extent such approval is required by applicable law or the requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange (or any other stock exchange on which the Shares are listed), provided that the Board may, from time to time, in its absolute discretion and without approval of the shareholders of the Company, make the following amendments:

(a) any amendment necessary to comply with applicable law (including taxation laws) or the requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange (or any other stock exchange on which the Shares are listed) or any other regulatory body to which the Company is subject;
18 -
(b) any amendment of a "housekeeping" nature, including, without limitation, amending the wording of any provision of the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan for the purpose of clarifying the meaning of existing provisions or to correct or supplement any provision of the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan that is inconsistent with any other provision of the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan, correcting grammatical or typographical errors and amending the definitions contained within the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan; or

(b) any amendment which reduces the exercise price of any Award, as applicable, after such Award has been granted or any cancellation of an Award and the replacement of such Award with an Award with a lower exercise price or other entitlements, except in the event of a permitted adjustment arising from a reorganization of the Company's share capital or certain other transactions; provided, however, that, for greater certainty, disinterested shareholder approval will be required for any amendment which reduces the exercise price of any Option if the Participant is an Insider of the Company at the time of the proposed amendment;
(c) any amendment which extends the expiry date of any Award, or the Restriction Period of any Share Unit beyond the original expiry date or Restriction Period, except in the event of an extension due to a Blackout Period;
(d) any amendment which would permit Awards granted under the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan to be transferable or assignable other than for normal estate settlement purposes;
(e) any amendment to the definition of an Eligible Participant under the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan;
(f) any amendment to the participation limits set out in the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan; or
(g) any amendment to the amendment provisions of the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan.

The Board may, subject to regulatory approval, discontinue the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan at any time without the consent of the Participants, provided that any such discontinuance does not materially and adversely affect any Awards previously granted to a Participant under the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan.

Shareholder Approval of the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan

At the Meeting, the disinterested shareholders of the Company will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, an ordinary resolution (the "Equity Incentive Plan Resolution") confirming and approving the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan as described below.

In order to be passed, the Equity Incentive Plan Resolution requires the approval of a majority of the votes cast thereon by shareholders of the Company present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, excluding the votes attaching to Shares beneficially owned by insiders of the Company to whom Awards may be granted under the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan and each of their respective associates. In determining whether such approval has been obtained, the votes attaching to the approximately 18,596,745 Shares collectively held, directly or indirectly, by the insiders of the Company to whom Awards may be granted under the Proposed Equity Incentive Plan, and each of their respective associates, will be excluded. The directors of the Company unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the Equity Incentive Plan Resolution. The persons named in the form of proxy accompanying this Circular intend to vote FOR the Equity Incentive Plan Resolution, unless the shareholder of the

19 -

Company who has given such proxy has directed that the Shares represented by such proxy be voted against the Equity Incentive Plan Resolution.

The directors of the Company believe the passing of the foregoing ordinary resolution is in the best interests of the Company and recommend that Shareholders of the Company vote in favour of the resolution.

The persons named as proxies in the enclosed form of proxy intend to cast the votes represented by proxy in favour of the foregoing resolution unless the holder of Common Shares who has given such proxy has directed that the votes be otherwise cast.

Management knows of no other matters to come before the Meeting other than those referred to in the Notice of Meeting. Should any other matters properly come before the Meeting, the shares represented by the Instrument of Proxy solicited hereby will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the persons voting by proxy.

CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS

I. INTRODUCTION

We require high standards of professional and ethical conduct from our employees. Our reputation with our shareholders and prospective investors for honesty and integrity is key to the success of our business. No employee, contractor, or consultant will be permitted to achieve results through violations of laws or regulations, or through unscrupulous dealings.

We intend that the Company’s business practices will be compatible with the economic and social priorities of each location in which we operate. Although customs vary by country and standards of ethics may vary in different business environments, honesty and integrity must always characterize our business activity. If a law conflicts with a policy in this Code, you must comply with the law; however, if a local custom or policy conflicts with this Code, you must comply with the Code. If you have any questions about these conflicts, you should ask your supervisor how to handle the situation.

This Code reflects our commitment to a culture of honesty, integrity and accountability and outlines the basic principles and policies with which all employees, contractors, and consultants are expected to comply. Please read this Code carefully.

In addition to following this Code in all aspects of your business activities, you are expected to seek guidance in any case where there is a question about compliance with both the letter and the spirit of our policies and applicable laws. This Code covers a wide range of business practices and procedures. It does not cover every issue that may arise, but it sets out basic principles to guide all employees, contractors, and consultants of the Company. This Code does not supersede the specific policies and procedures that are covered in the Company’s operating manuals or in separate specific policy statements. References in this Code to the “Company” means the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Reference to “employees” includes officers, contractors, independent accounting contractors, and consultants.

Those who violate the standards set forth in this Code will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. If you are in a situation that you believe may violate or lead to a violation of this Code, follow the guidelines described in Section XVII below.

Your cooperation is necessary to the continued success of our business and the cultivation and maintenance of our reputation as a good corporate citizen.

II. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS

Compliance with the letter and spirit of all laws, rules and regulations applicable to our business is critical to our reputation and continued success. All employees must respect and obey the laws of the cities, provinces, states and countries in which we operate and avoid even the appearance of impropriety. Not all employees are expected to know the details of these laws, but it is important to know enough to determine when to seek advice from supervisors, managers or other appropriate personnel. The Company holds information and training sessions to promote compliance with laws, rules and regulations, including insider trading laws.

III. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

A conflict of interest occurs when an individual’s private interest interferes, or appears to interfere, in any way with the interests of the Company. A conflict situation can arise when an employee or director takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work for the Company objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest also arise when an employee or director, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position in the Company. Loans to, or guarantees of obligations of, such persons are likely to pose conflicts of interest, as are transactions of any kind between the Company and any other organization in which you or any member of your family have an interest.

It may be perceived as a conflict of interest for an employee to work simultaneously for a competitor, customer or supplier. Therefore, working for a competitor, as a consultant or director, is discouraged by the Company. The best policy is to avoid any direct or indirect business connection with our customers, suppliers or competitors,

FJORDLAND EXPLORATION INC.

except on behalf of the Company. However, should you find yourself in a situation as such, you are expected to disclose the potential conflict of interest to both the Company, and the other party.

Activities that could give rise to conflicts of interest are prohibited unless specifically approved by the Board of Directors or the Audit Committee. It is not always easy to determine whether a conflict of interest exists, so any potential conflicts of interests should be reported immediately to senior management or the Company’s general legal counsel.

Given that the Directors are engaged in a wide range of activities, each Director or officer is required to disclose to the Company any interest in a material contract or transaction or proposed material contract or transaction with the Company or the fact that such person is a director or officer of, or otherwise has a material interest in, any person who is a party to a material contract or transaction or proposed material contract or transaction with the Company. Such disclosure is required to be made at the first meeting at which a proposed contract or transaction is considered. In any case, a Director who has made disclosure to the foregoing effect is not entitled to vote on any resolution to approve the contract or transaction unless the contract or transaction is one relating primarily to his remuneration as a Trustee, one for indemnity under the Declaration of Trust or one for insurance

IV. CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES

Employees and directors are prohibited from taking for themselves personally opportunities that arise through the use of corporate property, information or position and from using corporate property, information or position for personal gain. Employees and directors are also prohibited from competing with the Company directly or indirectly. Employees and directors owe a duty to the Company to advance the legitimate interests of the Company when the opportunity to do so arises.

V. CONFIDENTIALITY

Employees must maintain the confidentiality of information entrusted to them by the Company or that otherwise comes into their possession in the course of their employment, except when disclosure is authorized or legally mandated. Employees are required to execute a confidentiality agreement upon employment and from time to time during the course of employment. The obligation to preserve confidential information continues even after you leave the Company.

Confidential information includes all non-public information that may be of use to competitors, or harmful to the Company or its customers, if disclosed. It also includes information that suppliers and customers have entrusted to us.

VI. PROTECTION AND PROPER USE OF COMPANY ASSETS

All employees should endeavour to protect the Company’s assets and ensure their efficient use. Theft, carelessness and waste have a direct impact on the Company’s profitability. Any suspected incidents of fraud or theft should be immediately reported for investigation.

Company assets, such as equipment, funds or computers, may only be used for legitimate business purposes or other purposes approved by management. Company assets may never be used for illegal purposes.

The obligation to protect Company assets includes proprietary information. Proprietary information includes any information that is not generally known to the public or would be helpful to our competitors. Examples of proprietary information include intellectual property, such as trade secrets, patents, trademarks and copyrights, as well as business, marketing and service plans, proprietary geological concepts, engineering and manufacturing ideas, designs, contact lists, databases, records, salary information and any unpublished geological, geophysical, geochemical, financial data or reports. Unauthorized use or distribution of this information is a violation of Company policy. It may also be illegal and may result in civil and criminal penalties. The obligation to preserve proprietary information continues even after you leave the Company.

VII. INSIDER TRADING

Employees who have access to confidential information are not permitted to use or share that information for stock trading purposes or for any other purpose except the conduct of the business of the Company. All material undisclosed information about the Company should be considered confidential. To use material undisclosed information for personal financial benefit or to “tip” others who might make an investment decision on the basis of this information, is not only unethical, but also illegal. Further reference can be made to the |TSX Venture Exchange Policy 3.1, Section 5.

VIII. FAIR DEALING

We seek to outperform our competition fairly and honestly and to acquire, explore and develop mineral projects in a fair and honest manner. We seek competitive advantages through superior performance, never through unethical or illegal business practices. Stealing proprietary information, possessing trade secret information obtained without the owner’s consent or inducing the disclosures of proprietary information or trade secrets by past or present employees of other companies is prohibited. Each employee should endeavor to deal fairly with the Company’s business associates, option partners, joint venture partners, suppliers, competitors and employees. No employee should take unfair advantage of anyone through illegal conduct, manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts or any other unfair-dealing practice.

IX. DISCRIMINATION AND HARASSMENT

We value the diversity of our employees and are committed to providing equal opportunity in all aspects of employment. Abusive, harassing or offensive conduct is unacceptable, whether verbal, physical or visual. Examples include derogatory comments based on racial or ethnic characteristics and unwelcome sexual advances. Employees are encouraged to speak out when a co-worker’s conduct makes them uncomfortable, and to report harassment when it occurs.

X. SAFETY AND HEALTH

We are all responsible for maintaining a safe and healthy workplace by following safety and health rules and practices, and more specifically detailed in the Company’s Safety Manual/Field Guide and Fuel Spill Contingency Plan. The Company is committed to keeping its workplaces and project areas free from hazards. Please report any accidents, injuries, unsafe equipment, practices or conditions immediately to a supervisor or other designated person. Threats or acts of violence or physical intimidation are prohibited.

In order to protect the safety of all employees, employees must report to work in condition to perform their duties and free from the influence of any substance that could prevent them from conducting work activities safely and effectively. The use of alcohol or illegal drugs in the workplace is prohibited. Likewise, employees are prohibited from being under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs during the course of their duties.

XI. RECORDKEEPING

Honest and accurate recording and reporting of information is critical to our financial reporting and our ability to make responsible business decisions. The Company’s accounting records are relied upon to produce reports for the Company’s management, shareholders, creditors, governmental agencies and others. Our financial statements and the books and records on which they are based must truthfully and accurately reflect all corporate transactions and conform to all legal and accounting requirements and our system of internal controls.

All employees have a responsibility to ensure that the Company’s records, including accounting records, do not contain any false or intentionally misleading entries. We do not permit intentional misclassification of transactions as to accounts, departments or accounting periods. All transactions must be supported by accurate documentation in reasonable detail and recorded in the proper account and in the proper accounting period.

All Company books, records, accounts and financial statements must be maintained in reasonable detail, must appropriately reflect Company transactions and must conform to both applicable legal requirements and the system of internal controls of the Company. Unrecorded or “off the books” funds or assets should not be maintained unless permitted by applicable law or regulation.

FJORDLAND EXPLORATION INC.

Business records and communications may become public through legal or regulatory investigations or the media. Exaggeration, derogatory remarks, legal conclusions or inappropriate characterizations of people and companies must be avoided. This applies to communications of all kinds, including email and informal notes or interoffice memos. Records should be retained and destroyed in accordance with the Company’s records retention policy.

XII. USE OF E-MAIL AND INTERNET SERVICES

E-Mail systems and Internet services are provided to help us do work. Incidental and occasional personal use is permitted, but never for personal gain or any improper purpose. You may not access, send or download any information that could be insulting or offensive to another person, such as sexually explicit material or jokes, unwelcome propositions, ethnic or racial slurs, or any other message that could be viewed as harassment. Also remember that “flooding” our systems with junk mail and trivia hampers the ability of our systems to handle legitimate Company business and is prohibited.

Employees should not download copyrighted materials, should not copy material that is not licensed to the Company and should follow the terms of a licence when using material that is licenced to the Company. No changes should be made to licensed materials without the prior consent of the Company. In addition, employees are prohibited from downloading games and screensavers as these are common sources of viruses.

Your messages (including voice mail) and computer information are considered the Company’s property and you should not have any expectation of privacy. Unless prohibited by law, the Company reserves the right to access and disclose this information as necessary for business purposes. Use good judgment, and do not access, send messages or store any information that you would not want to be seen or heard by other individuals.

XIII. POLITICAL ACTIVITIES AND CONTRIBUTIONS

We respect and support the right of our employees to participate in political activities. However, these activities should not be conducted on Company time or involve the use of any Company resources such as telephones, computers or supplies. Employees will not be reimbursed for personal political contributions.

We may occasionally express our views on local and national issues that affect our operations. In such cases, Company funds and resources may be used, but only when permitted by law and by our strict guidelines. The Company may also make limited contributions to political parties or candidates in jurisdictions where it is legal and customary to do so. No employee may make or commit to political contributions on behalf of the Company without the approval of the Board of Directors.

XIV. GIFTS AND ENTERTAINMENT

Business gifts and entertainment are customary courtesies designed to build goodwill among business partners. These courtesies include such things as meals and beverages, tickets to sporting or cultural events, discounts not available to the general public, travel, accommodation and other merchandise or services. In some cultures they  play an important role in business relationships. However, a problem may arise when such courtesies compromise  or appear to compromise our ability to make objective and fair business decisions.

Offering or receiving any gift, gratuity or entertainment that might be perceived to unfairly influence a business relationship should be avoided. These guidelines apply at all times, and do not change during traditional gift-giving seasons. No gift or entertainment should ever be offered, given, provided or accepted by any director or employee of the Company, or by any family member of a director or employee, unless it:

(a) is not a cash gift;
(b) is consistent with customary business practices;
(c) is not excessive in value;
(d) cannot be construed as a bribe or payoff; and
(e) does not violate any applicable laws or regulations.

FJORDLAND EXPLORATION INC.

Please discuss with your supervisor any gifts or proposed gifts if you are uncertain whether they are appropriate.

XV. WAIVERS OF THIS CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS

Any waiver of this Code with respect to a director or officer of the Company may be made only by the Board of Directors or the Audit Committee. Any such waiver will be promptly disclosed to the extent required by applicable law or stock exchange regulation.

XVI. REPORTING OF ANY ILLEGAL OR UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR

We have a strong commitment to conduct our business in a lawful and ethical manner. Employees are encouraged to talk to supervisors, managers or other appropriate personnel when in doubt about the best course of action in a particular situation and to report violations of laws, rules, regulations or this Code. We prohibit retaliatory action against any employee who, in good faith, reports a possible violation. It is unacceptable to file a report knowing it to be false.

XVII. COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES

This Code cannot, and is not intended to, address all of the situations you may encounter. There will be occasions where you are confronted by circumstances not covered by policy or procedure and where you must make a judgment as to the appropriate course of action.

Since we cannot anticipate every situation that may arise, it is important for the Company to set forth
a general way to approach a new question or problem. These are the steps to keep in mind: • Make sure you have all of the facts. In order to reach the right solutions, you must be as fully informed as possible.
Ask yourself what you are specifically being asked to do. This analysis will enable you to focus on the specific issues that are raised and the available alternatives. Use your judgment and common sense. If something seems unethical or improper, it probably is.
Clarify your responsibility and role. In most situations, there is shared responsibility. Are your colleagues informed? It may help to get others involved and to discuss the problem.
Discuss the problem with your supervisor. This approach is best in most if not all situations. Your supervisor may be more knowledgeable about the issue and will appreciate being brought into the process. It is a supervisor’s responsibility to help you to solve problems.
Seek help from Company resources. In the rare instance in which it may not be appropriate to discuss an issue with your supervisor, or in which you feel uncomfortable approaching your supervisor, discuss the problem with the Company’s general legal counsel. If you prefer to write, address your concerns to the Company’s general legal counsel or the President.
You may report ethical violations in confidence and without fear of retaliation. If your situation requires that your identity be kept secret, the Company will protect your anonymity. The Company does not permit retaliation of any kind against employees for good faith reports of ethical violations.
Ask first. If you are unsure of the proper course of action, seek guidance before you act.

WHISTLEBLOWER POLICY

General

Fjordland Exploration Inc. (the “Company”) requires its directors, officers and employees to observe high standards of professionalism and ethical conduct in maintaining the financial records of the Company. Pursuant to its Charter, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for reviewing (on a confidential basis if necessary) all complaints or submissions received from employees of the Company regarding accounting or auditing matters concerning the Company. In order to carry out its responsibilities under its Charter, the Audit Committee has adopted this Whistleblower Policy (the “Policy”).

For the purposes of this Policy, all accounting or auditing matters which are the subject of a complaint or submission are referred to as an “Accounting Irregularity”.

No Retaliation

No officer or employee who in good faith reports an Accounting Irregularity shall suffer harassment, retaliation or adverse employment consequence. An officer or employee who retaliates against someone who has reported an Accounting Irregularity in good faith is subject to discipline up to and including termination of employment. This Whistleblower Policy is intended to encourage and enable employees and others to raise serious concerns within the Company rather than seeking resolution outside the Company.

FJORDLAND EXPLORATION INC.

Reporting Violations

It is the responsibility of all directors, officers and employees to report all suspected Accounting Irregularities in accordance with this Whistleblower Policy. The Company maintains an open door policy and suggests that employees share their questions, concerns, suggestions or complaints with someone who can address them properly. In most cases, an employee’s supervisor is in the best position to address an area of concern. An employee’s supervisor may be more knowledgeable about the issue and will appreciate being brought into the process. It is the supervisor’s responsibility to help you to solve the problem.

However, if you are not comfortable speaking with your supervisor or you are not satisfied with your supervisor’s response, you are encouraged to speak with anyone in management whom you are comfortable in approaching. Supervisors and managers are required to report suspected Accounting Irregularities to the Company’s Whistleblower, Peter Krag-Hansen, or to any member of the Audit Committee. Mr. Krag-Hansen’s direct telephone line is (604) 657-2997. The Audit Committee has specific and exclusive responsibility to investigate all reported violations. For suspected fraud or securities law violations, or when you are not satisfied or uncomfortable with following the Company’s open door policy, individuals should contact the Chairman of the Company or any member of the Company’s Audit Committee directly. All complaints will be reported to the Audit Committee within five days of receipt.

Investigations of Complaints

The Company’s Audit Committee is responsible for investigating and resolving all reported complaints and allegations concerning Accounting Irregularities. The Audit Committee may retain independent legal counsel, accountants or others to assist in its investigations.

Accounting and Auditing Matters

Pursuant to its Charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for addressing all reported concerns or complaints regarding corporate accounting practices, internal controls or auditing. The President is required to immediately notify the Audit Committee of any complaint of which he or she is aware and to work with the Committee until the matter is resolved.

Acting in Good Faith

Anyone filing a complaint concerning a suspected Accounting Irregularity must be acting in good faith and have reasonable grounds for believing the information disclosed indicates an Accounting Irregularity. Any allegations that prove not to be substantiated and which prove to have been made maliciously or knowingly to be false will be viewed as a serious disciplinary offense.

Confidentiality

Complaints or submissions concerning a suspected Accounting Irregularity may be submitted on a confidential basis by the complainant or may be submitted anonymously. All complaints or submissions will be kept confidential to the extent possible, consistent with the need to conduct an adequate investigation.

Handling of Reported Violations

The Chair of the Audit Committee will notify the sender and acknowledge receipt of the reported suspected Accounting Irregularity within five business days. All reports will be promptly investigated and appropriate corrective action will be taken if warranted by the investigation.

The Company shall retain records of complaints for a period of no less than seven years as a separate part of the records of the Audit Committee.

Privacy Violations

In addition to these rules regarding accounting, internal accounting controls and auditing matters, recent privacy legislation, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Canada) ( “PIPEDA ”) and the Personal Information Protection Act (British Columbia) (“ PIPA ”), provide that any person who has reasonable grounds to believe that there has been a contravention of either of PIPEDA or PIPA may notify the relevant Privacy Commissioner.

FJORDLAND EXPLORATION INC. - 10 -

An organization must not dismiss, suspend, discipline, harass or otherwise disadvantage an employee or deny an employee a benefit because the employee, acting in good faith and on the basis of reasonable belief, has disclosed to the Privacy Commissioner that the organization has contravened or is about to contravene either of PIPEDA or PIPA . Members of the public may lodge anonymous complaints to avoid the possibility of retaliation.
