INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS INFORMATION CIRCULAR

The date of this Circular is August 24, 2022. Unless otherwise stated, all amounts herein are in Canadian dollars. The following documents filed by the Company on SEDAR at www.sedar.com are specifically incorporated by reference into, and form an integral part of, this Circular: the audited financial statements of the Company and the related notes thereto, for the financial period ended July 31, 2021; the report of the Company's auditor thereon; and management's discussion and analysis related to the above financial statements.

No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representation in connection with matters described herein other than those contained in this Circular and, if given or made, any such information or representation should be considered not to have been authorized by the Company.

This Circular does not constitute the solicitation of an offer to purchase any securities or the solicitation of a proxy by any person in any jurisdiction in which such solicitation is not authorized or in which the person making such solicitation is not qualified to do so or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such solicitation.

Information contained in this Circular should not be construed as legal, tax or financial advice and Shareholders are urged to consult their own professional advisers in connection therewith.

PROXIES AND VOTING RIGHTS

Management Solicitation

The solicitation of proxies by management of the Company will be conducted by mail and may be supplemented by telephone or other personal contact to be made without special compensation by the directors, officers and employees of the Company. Flow Metals does not reimburse Shareholders, nominees or agents for costs incurred in obtaining from their principals authorization to execute forms of proxy, except that Flow Metals has requested brokers and nominees who hold stock in their respective names to furnish the proxy-related materials to their customers, and the Company will reimburse such brokers and nominees for their related out of pocket expenses. No solicitation will be made by specifically engaged employees or soliciting agents. The cost of solicitation will be borne by Flow Metals. No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representation other than as contained in this Circular in connection with the solicitation of proxies.

-3-

If given or made, such information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the Company. The delivery of this Circular shall not create, under any circumstances, any implication that there has been no change in the information set forth herein since the date of this Circular. This Circular does not constitute the solicitation of a proxy by anyone in any jurisdiction in which such solicitation is not authorized, or in which the person making such solicitation is not qualified to do so, or to anyone to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer of solicitation.

The Company has arranged for intermediaries to forward the Meeting materials to beneficial owners of Shares (the “ Beneficial Shareholders ”) held of record by those intermediaries. The Company has distributed or made available for distribution, copies of the Notice, this Circular and form of proxy to clearing agencies, securities dealers, banks and trust companies or their nominees (collectively, the “ Intermediaries ”) for distribution to Beneficial Shareholders held of record by those Intermediaries. Such Intermediaries are required to forward such documents to the Beneficial Shareholders unless a Beneficial Shareholder has waived the right to receive them. The solicitation of proxies from Beneficial Shareholders will be carried out by the Intermediaries or by Flow Metals if the names and addresses of the Beneficial Shareholders are provided by Intermediaries. Flow Metals will pay the permitted fees and costs of the Intermediaries for reasonable fees and disbursements incurred in connection with the distribution of these materials.

Flow Metals does not intend to pay for Intermediaries to forward to objecting Beneficial Shareholders under NI 54101 the proxy-related materials and Form 54-101F7 Request for Voting Instructions Made by Intermediary . An objecting Beneficial Shareholder will not receive such materials unless the objecting Beneficial Shareholder’s Intermediary assumes the cost of delivery.

These proxy-related materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered Shareholders. If you are a nonregistered Shareholder, and the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your Shares, have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary holding on your behalf.

Appointment of Proxy

Registered shareholders (“ Registered Shareholders ”) are entitled to vote at the Meeting. On a show of hands, every Shareholder is entitled to one vote for each Share that such Shareholder holds on the record date of August 24, 2022 on the resolutions to be voted upon at the Meeting, and any other matter to come before the Meeting. The list of Registered Shareholders is available for inspection during normal business hours at the offices of National Securities Administrators Ltd. (“ National Securities Administrators ”) and will be available at the Meeting.

The persons named as proxyholders (the “ Designated Persons ”) in the enclosed form of proxy are directors and/or officers of Flow Metals.

A SHAREHOLDER HAS THE RIGHT TO APPOINT A PERSON OR COMPANY (WHO NEED NOT BE A SHAREHOLDER) TO ATTEND AND ACT FOR OR ON BEHALF OF THAT SHAREHOLDER AT THE MEETING, OTHER THAN THE DESIGNATED PERSONS NAMED IN THE ENCLOSED FORM OF PROXY.

TO EXERCISE THE RIGHT, THE SHAREHOLDER MAY DO SO BY STRIKING OUT THE PRINTED NAMES AND INSERTING THE NAME OF SUCH OTHER PERSON AND, IF DESIRED, AN ALTERNATE TO SUCH PERSON, IN THE BLANK SPACE PROVIDED IN THE FORM OF PROXY. SUCH SHAREHOLDER SHOULD NOTIFY THE NOMINEE OF THE APPOINTMENT, OBTAIN THE NOMINEE’S CONSENT TO ACT AS PROXY AND SHOULD PROVIDE INSTRUCTION TO THE NOMINEE ON HOW THE SHAREHOLDER’S SHARES SHOULD BE VOTED. THE NOMINEE SHOULD BRING PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION TO THE MEETING.

In order to be voted, the completed form of proxy must be received by the Company’s registrar and transfer agent, National Securities Administrators at their offices located at 702 – 777 Hornby Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6Z 1S4, by mail, or by fax at 604-559-8908, or by email at [email protected], no later than 10:00 am on Monday, September 26, 2022, or at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays recognized in the Province of British Columbia) before the time and date of any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting.

A proxy may not be valid unless it is dated and signed by the Shareholder who is giving it or by that Shareholder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized by that Shareholder in writing or, in the case of a corporation, dated and executed by a duly authorized officer or attorney-in-fact for the corporation. If a form of proxy is executed by an attorney-in-fact for an individual Shareholder or joint Shareholders or by an officer or attorney-in-fact for a corporate Shareholder,

-4-

the instrument so empowering the officer or attorney-in-fact, as the case may be, or a notarially certified copy thereof, must accompany the form of proxy.

Revocation of Proxy

A Shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by an instrument in writing: (a) executed by that Shareholder or by that Shareholder’s attorney-in-fact authorized in writing or, where the Shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer of, or attorney-in-fact for, the corporation; and (b) delivered either: (i) to the Company at the address set forth above, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting or, if adjourned or postponed, any reconvening thereof, or (ii) to the Chairman of the Meeting prior to the vote on matters covered by the proxy on the day of the Meeting or, if adjourned or postponed, any reconvening thereof, or (iii) in any other manner provided by law.

Also, a proxy will automatically be revoked by either: (a) attendance at the Meeting and participation in a poll (ballot) by a Shareholder, or (b) submission of a subsequent proxy in accordance with the foregoing procedures. A revocation of a proxy does not affect any matter on which a vote has been taken prior to any such revocation.

Voting of Common Shares and Proxies and Exercise of Discretion by Designated Persons

A Shareholder may indicate the manner in which the Designated Persons are to vote with respect to a matter to be voted upon at the Meeting by marking the appropriate space. If the instructions as to voting indicated in the proxy are certain, the Shares represented by the proxy will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions given in the proxy. If the Shareholder specifies a choice in the proxy with respect to a matter to be acted upon, then the Shares represented will be voted or withheld from the vote on that matter accordingly. The Shares represented by a proxy will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholder on any ballot that may be called for and if the Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Shares will be voted accordingly.

IF NO CHOICE IS SPECIFIED IN THE PROXY WITH RESPECT TO A MATTER TO BE ACTED UPON, THE PROXY CONFERS DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY WITH RESPECT TO THAT MATTER UPON THE DESIGNATED PERSONS NAMED IN THE FORM OF PROXY. IT IS INTENDED THAT THE DESIGNATED PERSONS WILL VOTE THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THE PROXY IN FAVOUR OF EACH MATTER IDENTIFIED IN THE PROXY AND FOR THE NOMINEES OF THE BOARD FOR DIRECTORS AND AUDITOR .

The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the Designated Persons with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting, including any amendments or variations to any matters identified in the Notice, and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the date of this Circular, management of Flow Metals is not aware of any such amendments, variations, or other matters to come before the Meeting.

In the case of abstentions from, or withholding of, the voting of the Shares on any matter, the Shares that are the subject of the abstention or withholding will be counted for determination of a quorum, but will not be counted as affirmative or negative on the matter to be voted upon.

ADVICE TO BENEFICIAL SHAREHOLDERS

The information set out in this section is of significant importance to those Shareholders who do not hold shares in their own name. Beneficial Shareholders who do not hold their shares in their own name should note that only proxies deposited by Shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of Shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting .

If Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those Shares will not be registered in the Shareholder’s name on the records of the Company. Such Shares will more likely be registered under the names of the Shareholder’s broker or an agent of that broker. In the United States, the vast majority of such 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). Beneficial Shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their Shares are communicated to the appropriate person well in advance of the Meeting .

-5-

The Company does not have access to names of Beneficial Shareholders. Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of Shareholders’ meetings. Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Shares are voted at the Meeting. The form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker (or the agent of the broker) is similar to the Form of Proxy provided to Registered Shareholders by Flow Metals. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the Registered Shareholder (the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“ Broadridge ”) in the United States and in Canada. Broadridge typically prepares a special voting instruction form, mails this form to the Beneficial Shareholders and asks for appropriate instructions regarding the voting of Shares to be voted at the Meeting. Beneficial Shareholders are requested to complete and return the voting instructions to Broadridge by mail or facsimile. Alternatively, Beneficial Shareholders can call a toll-free number and access Broadridge’s dedicated voting website (each as noted on the voting instruction form) to deliver their voting instructions and to vote the Shares held by them. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder receiving a Broadridge voting instruction form cannot use that form as a proxy to vote Shares directly at the Meeting – the voting instruction form must be returned to Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have its Shares voted at the Meeting.

Although a Beneficial Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Shares registered in the name of his broker (or agent of the broker), a Beneficial Shareholder may attend at the Meeting as proxyholder for a Registered Shareholder and vote the Shares in that capacity. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to attend at the Meeting and indirectly vote their Shares as proxyholder for the Registered Shareholder should enter their own names in the blank space on the instrument of proxy provided to them and return the proxy well in advance of the Meeting to their broker (or the broker’s agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker (or agent).

Alternatively, a Beneficial Shareholder may request in writing that his, her or its broker send to the Beneficial Shareholder a legal proxy which would enable the Beneficial Shareholder to attend the Meeting and vote his, her or its Shares.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares without par value. As of the record date, determined by the Board to be the close of business on August 24, 2022, a total of 3,434,088 Shares were issued and outstanding. Each Share carries the right to one vote at the Meeting.

Only Registered Shareholders as of the record date, August 24, 2022, are entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at, the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting.

To the knowledge of the directors and senior officers of the Company, no person or company beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over, Shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to the outstanding Shares of Flow Metals, other than as set forth below:

Name of Shareholder Number of Shares Owned Percentage of Outstanding Shares(1)

(2) CDS & CO is a share depository, the beneficial ownership of which is unknown to the Company. (3) The above information was supplied by the Transfer Agent, as of the record date.

AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The audited financial statements of Flow Metals for the period ended July 31, 2021, and the report of the auditors on those statements will be placed before the Meeting. Receipt at the Meeting of the audited financial statements of Flow Metals will not constitute approval or disapproval of any matters referred to in those statements. No vote will be taken on the audited financial statements. These audited financial statements are available at www.sedar.com.

-6-

Pursuant to National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations and National Instrument 54- 101 Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer , both of the Canadian Securities Administrators, a person or corporation who in the future wishes to receive annual and interim financial statements from Flow Metals must deliver a written request for such material to Flow Metals. Shareholders who wish to receive annual and interim financial statements are encouraged to complete the appropriate section on the Request form attached to this Circular and send it to the transfer agent, National Securities Administrators.

NUMBER OF DIRECTORS

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to pass an ordinary resolution to set the number of directors of Flow Metals for the ensuing year at four (4). The number of directors will be approved if the affirmative vote of the majority of Shares present or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote, are voted in favour to set the number of directors at four (4) .

Management recommends the approval of the resolution to set the number of directors of the Company at four (4).

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

At present, the directors of Flow Metals are elected at each annual meeting and hold office until the next annual meeting or until their successors are duly elected or appointed in accordance with Flow Metals’ articles or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

Cease Trade Orders

Other than as described below, to the knowledge of the Company, as of the date hereof, no Nominee is, or has been, within 10 years before the date hereof, a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of any company (including the Company) that:

  • (a) was subject to a cease trade order or similar order or an order that denied the corporation access to any statutory exemptions for a period of more than 30 consecutive days (an " Order "), which was issued while the proposed director or executive officer was acting in the capacity as director, CEO or CFO; or

  • (b) was subject to an Order that was issued after the director or executive officer ceased to be a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer and which resulted from an event that occurred while that person was acting in the capacity as director, CEO or CFO.

The directors are required by law to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and to disclose any interests that they may have in any project or opportunity of the Company. If a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the Board, any director in a conflict will disclose his interest and abstain from voting on such matter.

To the best of the Company’s knowledge, and other than disclosed herein, there are no known existing or potential conflicts of interest among the Company, its promoters, directors and officers or other members of management of the Company or of any proposed promoter, director, officer or other member of management as a result of their outside business interests, except that certain of the directors and officers serve as directors and officers of other companies, and therefore it is possible that a conflict may arise between their duties to the Company and their duties as a director or officer of such other companies.

Exercise of Compensation Securities by Directors and Named Executive Officers

During the financial year ended July 31, 2021, no compensation securities were exercised by any director or NEO.

External Management Companies

The Company entered into a corporate management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) dated July 1, 2018 with Pender Street Corporate Consulting Ltd. which was subsequently assigned to Partum Advisory Services Corp. on April 1, 2019 and renewed on March 1, 2022 (“Partum”) to provide management, accounting and administrative services to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement for a monthly fee of $4,000 plus applicable taxes and reimbursement of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred on behalf of the Company. The Management Agreement is for an initial term of 12 months, to be automatically renewed for further 12-month periods, unless either party gives 180 days’ notice of non-renewal, in which case the Management Agreement will terminate. The Management Agreement can be terminated by either party on 30 days’ written notice. It can also be terminated

-10-

by the Company for cause without prior notice or upon the mutual consent in writing of both parties. If there is a takeover or change of control of the Company resulting in the termination of the Management Agreement, Partum is entitled to receive an amount equal to 6 months of fees payable as a lump sum payment due on the day after the termination date.

During the most recently completed financial year, the Company paid or accrued a total $49,173 in management, consulting and accounting fees to Partum.

Partum was not indebted to the Company during the Company’s last completed financial year, and the Management Agreement remains in effect.

Stock Option Plans and Other Incentive Plans

The Company regards the strategic use of incentive stock options as a cornerstone of the Company’s compensation plan. It applies to employees at all levels and continues to be one of the Company’s primary tools for attracting, motivating and retaining qualified employees, which is critical to the Company’s success. The Company is committed to long-term incentive programs that promote the continuity of an excellent management team and, therefore, the longterm success of the Company.

The Company established a formal plan that received Shareholders approved on August 29, 2018 under which stock options may be granted to directors, officers, employees and consultants as an incentive to serve the Company in attaining its goal of improved Shareholder value. The Board is responsible for administering the stock option plan. The Board is charged with responsibility to determine the type and amount of compensation to be paid to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company including the awards of any stock options under the stock option plan.

All grants of stock options to the NEOs are reviewed and approved by the Board. In evaluating option grants to the NEO, the Board evaluates a number of factors including, but not limited to: (i) the number of options already held by such NEO; (ii) a fair balance between the number of options held by the NEO concerned and the other executives of the Company, in light of their responsibilities and objectives; and (iii) the value of the options (generally determined using a Black-Scholes analysis) as a component in the NEO’s overall compensation package.

The Board has adopted a stock option plan (the “ Stock Option Plan ”) whereby a maximum of 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares, from time to time, may be reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options (“ Options ”). Under the terms of the Stock Option Plan, Options may be granted only to: (i) the Company’s employees, officers, directors, and consultants; (ii) employees, officers, directors, and consultants of an affiliate of the Company; and (iii) any other person deemed suitable by the Board to receive Options to purchase Shares.

The exercise price of any option when exercised may not be less than the greater of the closing market price of the Shares on: (a) the last trading day immediately preceding the date of grant of the option; and (b) the date of grant of the option; provided however, that if the Shares are not listed on any securities exchange, the exercise price may not be less than the fair market value of the Shares as may be determined by the Board on the day immediately preceding the date of the grant of such option.

The Options are non-assignable and non-transferable. Options granted under the Stock Option Plan have a maximum term of five years and can only be exercised by the optionee as long as the optionee remains an eligible optionee pursuant to the Stock Option Plan or within 90 days (or as otherwise determined by the Board) after ceasing to be an eligible optionee, or, if the optionee dies, within one year from the date of the optionee’s death.

Subject to shareholder approval in certain circumstances, the Board may from time to time amend or revise the terms of the Stock Option Plan or may terminate the Stock Option Plan at any time.

The decision to grant Options is made by the Board as a whole, and a grant is approved by directors’ resolutions or at a meeting of the Board. Decisions address vesting, maximum term, number of Options, exercise price and method of exercise.

Employment, Consulting and Management Agreements

Please refer to the Management Agreement under “ External Management Companies ” for details of the Management Agreement in place with Partum.

The Company entered into a management services agreement dated June 1, 2021 (the “ Surgenia Agreement ”) with Surgenia Productions Inc. (“ Surgenia Productions ”), a private company owned by Scott Sheldon, President and CEO of Flow Metals, pursuant to which it has secured the services of Mr. Sheldon to provide administration of the day-today affairs of Flow Metals; oversight with respect to the resource exploration and development business of the Company, including future property acquisitions and dispositions; maintenance of campaigns and online presence; and such other services or activities as reasonably requested by the Board. The initial term of the Surgenia Agreement is three years from execution of the Surgenia Agreement. The term will automatically renew every three years, unless either party has given notice to terminate in accordance with the provisions of the Surgenia Agreement. The Surgenia Agreement may be terminated by Surgenia Productions by giving 30 days' notice or the Company, without cause, by giving 90 days’ notice to Surgenia Productions, unless a shorter notice period is agreed to by both parties. The Company pays to Surgenia Productions an annual base consulting fee of $102,000 (the “ Base Fee ”), payable monthly in equal installments of $8,500. In addition to the Base Fee, the Company agrees to pay all reasonable expenses of Surgenia Productions and Mr. Sheldon is entitled to participate in the Stock Option Plan. In circumstances where the Company or its subsidiaries are unable to keep current on such fees, the fees will be accrued with 7.5% interest to such later date as the Company and its subsidiaries are able to bring the fees current by payment in cash. If there is a take-over or change of control of the Company resulting in the termination of Mr. Sheldon as an officer of the Company, including any constructive dismissal, Mr. Sheldon will be entitled to the immediate payment of $34,000 in severance.

There were no agreements or arrangements in place under which compensation was provided during the most recently completed financial year or is payable in respect of services provided to the Issuer that were performed by a director or named executive officer, or performed by any other party but are services typically provided by a director or a named executive officer, other than the reimbursement of expenses any director or NEO may have incurred on behalf of the Issuer.

Except as noted above, there were no agreements or arrangement containing provisions with respect to change of control, severance, termination or constructive dismissal.

Oversight and Description of Named Executive Officer and Director Compensation

The Board is responsible for determining, by way of discussions at board meetings, the compensation to be paid to the Company’s executive officers. Flow Metals at this time does not have a formal compensation program with specific performance goals; however, the performance of each executive is considered along with the Company’s ability to pay compensation and its results of operation for the period. Flow Metals presently has two NEOs, Scott Sheldon and Robert Brian Murray. Mr. Sheldon has served as CEO and as a Director of the Company since July 12, 2018 and Mr. Murray has served as CFO and as a Director of the Company since July 12, 2018.

Flow Metals’ executive compensation is currently comprised of a base fee or salary. Base fees or salaries are intended to provide current compensation and a short-term incentive for the NEO to meet the Company’s goals, as well as to remain competitive with the industry. Base fees or salaries are compensation for job responsibilities and reflect the level of skills, expertise and capabilities demonstrated by the NEO.

Compensation is designed to achieve the following key objectives:

  • (a) to support our overall business strategy and objectives;

  • (b) to provide market competitive compensation that is substantially performance-based;

  • (c) to provide incentives that encourage superior corporate performance and retention of highly skilled and talented employees; and

  • (d) to align executive compensation with corporate performance and therefore Shareholders' interests.

INDEBTEDNESS OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

No person who is, or at any time during the two most recently completed financial years was, a director or executive officer of Flow Metals, a proposed nominee for election as a director of Flow Metals, or an associate of any of the

-12-

foregoing individuals, has been indebted to the Company at any time since the commencement of the Company’s last completed financial year.

INTEREST OF INFORMED PERSONS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

Except as otherwise disclosed in this Circular, no: (a) director, proposed director or executive officer of Flow Metals; (b) person or company who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, Shares or who exercises control or direction of Shares, or a combination of both carrying more than ten percent of the voting rights attached to the outstanding Shares (an “ Insider ”); (c) director or executive officer of an Insider; or (d) associate or affiliate of any of the directors, executive officers or Insiders, has had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction since the commencement of Flow Metals’ most recently completed financial year or in any proposed transaction which has materially affected or would materially affect Flow Metals, except with an interest arising from the ownership of Shares where such person or company will receive no extra or special benefit or advantage not shared on a pro rata basis by all Shareholders.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee has adopted specific policies and procedures for the engagement of non-audit services as described in the Audit Committee Charter under the heading “External Auditors”.

External Auditor Service Fees

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 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.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Maintaining a high standard of corporate governance is a priority for the Board, and the Company’s management believes that effective corporate governance will help create and maintain shareholder value in the long term. A description of Flow Metals’ corporate governance practices, which addresses the matters set out in National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices , is set out below.

-14-

Board of Directors

The Board facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over the Company’s management through frequent meetings of the Board.

Independence of Directors

As a venture issuer, Flow Metals is exempt from the independence requirements of NI 52-110, Part 3. Donald Sheldon and Adrian Smith are not officers or employees of Flow Metals or of an affiliate of Flow Metals.

Scott Sheldon is the Chief Executive Officer and Robert Brian Murray is the Chief Financial Officer of Flow Metals, and are therefore not independent.

Directorships

The current directors of the Company and each of the individuals to be nominated for election as a director of Flow Metals at the Meeting may serve as a director or officer of one or more other reporting issuers as at the date of this Notice of Meeting and Circular. However, our directors are required by law to act honestly and in good faith with a view to our best interests and to disclose any interests which they may have in any of our projects or opportunities. If a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the Board, any director in a conflict will disclose his interest and abstain from voting on such matter. In determining whether or not we will participate in any project or opportunity, that director will primarily consider the degree of risk to which we may be exposed and our financial position at that time.

To the best of our knowledge, there are no known existing or potential conflicts of interest among us and our promoters, directors, officers or other members of management as a result of their outside business interests except that certain of the directors, officers, promoters and other members of management serve as directors, officers, promoters and members of management of other public companies, and therefore it is possible that a conflict may arise between their duties as a director, officer, promoter or member of management of such other companies.

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Board briefs all new directors with respect to the policies of the Board and other relevant corporate and business information. The Board does not provide any continuing education, but does encourage directors to individually and as a group keep themselves informed on changing corporate governance and legal issues. Directors are individually responsible for updating their skills as required to meet their obligations as directors. In addition, the Board undertakes strategic planning sessions with management.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company’s governing corporate legislation; the common law of Canada; 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 Flow Metals.

Nomination of Directors

The Board is responsible for identifying individuals qualified to become new Board members and recommending to the Board new director nominees for the next annual meeting of Shareholders.

New nominees must have a track record in general business management, special expertise in an area of strategic interest to Flow Metals, the ability to devote the required time, show support for the Company’s mission and strategic objectives, and a willingness to serve.

Compensation

The Board conducts reviews with regard to the compensation of the directors and CEO once a year. To make its recommendations on such compensation, the Board informally takes into account the types of compensation and the amounts paid to directors and officers of comparable publicly traded Canadian companies.

At present, no compensation is paid to the directors of the Company in their capacity as directors. The Board does not currently have a compensation committee.

-15-

Other Board Committees

The Board has no other committees other than the Audit Committee.

Assessments

The Board regularly monitors the adequacy of information given to directors, communications between the Board and management and the strategic direction and processes of the Board and its committees. The Board is currently responsible for assessing its own effectiveness, the effectiveness of individual directors and the effectiveness of the Audit Committee.

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

Except as disclosed elsewhere in this Circular, no director or executive officer of the Company who was a director or executive officer since the beginning of the Company’s last financial year, each proposed nominee for election as a director of Flow Metals, or any associate or affiliates of any such directors, officers or nominees, has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of Shares or other securities in Flow Metals or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting other than the election of directors.

APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to pass an ordinary resolution to re-appoint Smythe LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants as the auditor to hold office until the next annual meeting of the Shareholders or until such firm is removed from office or resigns as provided by law and to authorize the Board to fix the remuneration to be paid to the auditor.

Management recommends that Shareholders vote for the approval of the appointment of Smythe LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants. as the auditor for Flow Metals for the ensuing year at a remuneration to be fixed by the Board.
