LETTER TO GMIN SHAREHOLDERS

June 7, 2024

Dear G Mining Ventures Corp. shareholder:

On April 22, 2024, G Mining Ventures Corp. ("GMIN"), Reunion Gold Corporation ("Reunion Gold") and Greenheart Gold Inc. (formerly 15963982 Canada Inc.) ("Spinco") entered into an arrangement agreement, as amended effective June 7, 2024 (the "Arrangement Agreement"), pursuant to which an entity to be incorporated to hold and manage the combined business of GMIN and Reunion Gold ("New GMIN") will acquire (i) all of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of GMIN (each whole share, a "GMIN Share") and (ii) all of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of Reunion Gold (each whole share, a "Reunion Gold Share") by way of a proposed plan of arrangement under Section 192 of the Canada Business Corporations Act, in an all-equity business combination transaction (the "Arrangement").

In connection with the Arrangement, you are invited to attend the annual general and special meeting of the holders of GMIN Shares (the "GMIN Shareholders") to be held at the offices of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, in the St. Laurent Boardroom, located at 1 Place Ville Marie, Suite 3000, Montréal, Québec H3B 4N8, on July 9, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) (the "GMIN Meeting"). At the GMIN Meeting, GMIN Shareholders will be asked to consider, among other matters, resolutions approving the Arrangement and certain related matters (the "GMIN Arrangement Resolution"), the GMIN Private Placements Resolution (as defined below) and the GMIN Annual Resolutions (as defined below).

The board of directors of GMIN (the "GMIN Board") believes this is a compelling opportunity, which sets the stage for GMIN, through New GMIN, to become a leading South American intermediate gold producer by combining Reunion Gold's Oko West project located in Northwest Guyana (the "Oko West Project") with GMIN's Tocantinzinho project located in Brazil (the "TZ Project"), as further discussed below.

Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, if the Arrangement becomes effective:

  • GMIN Shareholders will receive 0.25 of a common share of New GMIN (each whole share, a "New GMIN Share") for each GMIN Share held (the "GMIN Exchange Ratio");
  • holders of Reunion Gold Shares (the "Reunion Gold Shareholders") will receive 0.07125 of a New GMIN Share and 0.05 of a common share of Spinco (each whole share, a "Spinco Share") for each Reunion Gold Share held; and
  • Reunion Gold will enter into a contribution and conveyance agreement with Spinco, pursuant to which Reunion Gold will assign and transfer to Spinco all of its assets other than the Oko West Project, including \$15 million in cash which GMIN has agreed to fund, in consideration for such number of Spinco Shares which, following the distribution of the Spinco Shares to Reunion Gold Shareholders in accordance with the Arrangement, would result in New GMIN indirectly holding through Reunion Gold approximately 19.9% of the outstanding Spinco Shares and the former Reunion Gold Shareholders holding approximately 80.1% of the outstanding Spinco Shares.

Additionally, if the Arrangement is approved:

• Reunion Gold, as New GMIN's wholly-owned subsidiary following the Arrangement, and Spinco will enter into an investor rights agreement which will provide certain customary investor and other rights exercisable by New GMIN, including the right to nominate one director to Spinco's board of directors; and

  • outstanding incentive awards and warrants of GMIN will be replaced or adjusted in accordance with their terms as follows:
  • o holders of options to purchase GMIN Shares issued under GMIN's existing equity incentive plans and outstanding at the effective time of the Arrangement (the "Effective Time") will receive replacement options, each of which will be exercisable for New GMIN Shares based on the GMIN Exchange Ratio;
  • o holders of restricted share units and deferred share units issued under GMIN's existing equity incentive plans and outstanding at the Effective Time will be entitled to receive, for each GMIN Share that would have been issuable had such restricted share units and deferred share units been exercised prior to the Effective Time, New GMIN Shares based on the GMIN Exchange Ratio; and
  • o holders of warrants to purchase GMIN Shares outstanding at the Effective Time will be entitled to receive for each GMIN Share that would have been issuable had such warrants been exercised prior to the Effective Time, upon payment of the original exercise price therefor, New GMIN Shares based on the GMIN Exchange Ratio.

Finally, subject to the terms and conditions of subscription agreements entered into between GMIN and each of La Mancha Investments S.à r.l. ("La Mancha") and Franco-Nevada Corporation ("Franco-Nevada"), the approval by the GMIN Shareholders at the GMIN Meeting and the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"), each of La Mancha and Franco-Nevada will, immediately prior to the Effective Time, subscribe for such number of GMIN Shares as is equal to, in the case of La Mancha, US\$25 million, which may be increased to US\$35 million in La Mancha's sole discretion, and, in the case of Franco-Nevada, US\$25 million (collectively, the "GMIN Private Placements").

Conditions to the Arrangement and the GMIN Private Placements

The Arrangement is subject to certain conditions, including the approval by GMIN Shareholders of the GMIN Arrangement Resolution, the approval by Reunion Gold Shareholders and the holders of options to purchase Reunion Gold Shares (collectively with the Reunion Gold Shareholders, the "Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders") of resolutions approving the Arrangement at a duly called meeting of the Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders (the "Reunion Gold Meeting"), the approval of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) and the approval of the TSX.

Specifically, with respect to the GMIN Arrangement Resolution, the requisite GMIN Shareholder approval is: (a) at least 662/3% of the votes cast by the GMIN Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the GMIN Meeting; (b) a majority of the votes cast by the GMIN Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the GMIN Meeting, excluding the votes attached to the GMIN Shares held by La Mancha and its related parties and joint actors in accordance with Section 8.1(2) of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Arrangements ("MI 61-101"); and (c) pursuant to Sections 611(c) and 611(g) of the TSX Company Manual, a majority of the votes cast by the GMIN Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the GMIN Meeting.

With respect to the Arrangement, the requisite Reunion Gold Voting Securityholder approval is: (a) at least 662/3% of the votes cast by the Reunion Gold Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Reunion Gold Meeting; (b) at least 662/3% of the votes cast by the Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Reunion Gold Meeting, voting together as a single class; and (c) a majority of the votes cast by the Reunion Gold Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Reunion Gold Meeting, excluding the votes attached to the Reunion Gold Shares held by David A. Fennell and his related parties and joint actors, in accordance with Section 8.1(2) of MI 61-101.

Further, pursuant to Section 607(e) of the TSX Company Manual, the closing of the GMIN Private Placements is subject to the subscription price payable thereunder being approved by a majority of the votes cast by the GMIN Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the GMIN Meeting, excluding the votes attached to the GMIN Shares held by La Mancha and Franco-Nevada and their associates and affiliates (the "GMIN Private Placements Resolution"). While closing of both of the GMIN Private Placements are subject to certain conditions including confirmation of the satisfaction of all conditions under the Arrangement Agreement, completion of the GMIN Private Placements is not a condition to completion of the Arrangement.

Voting Support Agreements

Each of the directors and members of senior management of GMIN, as well as GMIN's three largest shareholders, La Mancha, Franco-Nevada and Eldorado Gold Corporation ("Eldorado"), who in the aggregate own approximately 60% of the outstanding GMIN Shares, have entered into voting support agreements with Reunion Gold pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their GMIN Shares at the GMIN Meeting in favour of the Arrangement and any other transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement (the "Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreements").

Similarly, each of the directors and members of senior management of Reunion Gold, as well as La Mancha and two subsidiaries of, and a trust controlled by, Dundee Corporation, who in the aggregate own approximately 29% of the outstanding Reunion Gold Shares, have entered into voting support agreements with GMIN pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their Reunion Gold Shares at the Reunion Gold Meeting in favour of the Arrangement and any other transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement (the "GMIN Voting Support Agreements").

GMIN Special Committee and Board Recommendation

After careful consideration, including a thorough review of the Arrangement Agreement, the fairness opinions provided by RBC Dominion Securities Inc. ("RBC") and Cormark Securities Inc. ("Cormark"), and other matters considered relevant, including the various factors described more fully in the accompanying joint management information circular of GMIN and Reunion Gold (the "Circular"), and following consultation with management of GMIN and its financial and legal advisors, the special committee of the GMIN Board formed for the purpose of considering the Arrangement (the "GMIN Special Committee") unanimously determined that the Arrangement, together with the completion of the GMIN Private Placements, are in the best interests of GMIN. Accordingly, the GMIN Special Committee unanimously recommended that the GMIN Board approve the Arrangement Agreement and the GMIN Private Placements, and recommend that GMIN Shareholders vote in favour of the GMIN Arrangement Resolution and the GMIN Private Placements Resolution.

The GMIN Board (with David A. Fennell abstaining from voting due to his role as Executive Chair of Reunion Gold and Karim Nasr abstaining from voting only as regards to the GMIN Private Placements due to his role as an executive officer of La Mancha), after consultation with the GMIN Board's financial and legal advisors, and based on the unanimous recommendation of the GMIN Special Committee, unanimously determined that the Arrangement, together with the completion of the GMIN Private Placements, are in the best interests of GMIN. Accordingly, the GMIN Board (with David A. Fennell and Karim Nasr abstaining as described above) unanimously recommends that GMIN Shareholders vote in favour of the GMIN Arrangement Resolution, the full text of which is set forth in "Appendix A – GMIN Arrangement Resolution" attached to the Circular and in favour of the GMIN Private Placements Resolution, the full text of which is set out under the heading "GMIN Private Placements – Approval of GMIN Private Placements" in the Circular.

In reviewing the terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and determining that the Arrangement and the GMIN Private Placements are in the best interest of GMIN, the GMIN Special Committee and the GMIN Board considered a number of factors, including, among others, the following:

Top Tier Asset: The Oko West Project is amongst the highest quality gold development projects globally. It hosts one of the most significant gold discoveries in the Guiana Shield, a mining friendly region, known for world-class deposits. The Oko West Project has potential to support a large, long-life mine complex with an expedited timeline to production;

Strengthened Portfolio: The business combination of GMIN and Reunion Gold positions New GMIN to become a leading South American intermediate gold producer, supported by the near term potential of the TZ Project, which is on schedule and on budget for commercial production in the second half of 2024 and is engineered to produce approximately 200,000 gold ounces per year for the first five years at an attractive lowest quartile all-in sustaining cost, and the long-term potential of the Oko West Project;

Management Track-Record: The New GMIN management team is ideally positioned to unlock value at the Oko West Project through leveraging systems, equipment, expertise and team from the TZ Project, which is supported by an impressive track-record, including through the Gignac Family-owned G Mining Services Inc., of executing world-class projects in the Guiana Shield region to generate industry leading returns for its stakeholders;

Limited Equity Dilution Required to Fund the Oko West Project Development: GMIN would be able to leverage its free cash flow from the TZ Project, forecasted to total approximately US\$500 million between 2025 to 2027 at a gold price of US\$ 1,600 / oz, to fund a substantial portion of the construction of the Oko West Project, and thus limit potential financing dilution to the New GMIN shareholder base;

Compelling Re-Rate Potential: New GMIN will have the benefit of the opportunity for a faster and larger production re-rate and a higher mid-tier producer multiple once the Oko West Project is in production;

Enhanced Market Profile and Liquidity: Upon completion of the Arrangement, New GMIN will have a broadened shareholder base, an increased public float, and expected benefits from index inclusion (neither Party being currently included in any index), increased trading liquidity, and investor interest. The anticipated increased market capitalization and trading liquidity is expected to broaden New GMIN's investor appeal with enhanced market interest and analyst coverage;

Regional Platform: New GMIN is positioned to spearhead further regional consolidation, leveraging a strong South American platform of assets and extensive knowledge of the operating and regulatory environments in the region;

Asset Diversification: New GMIN will benefit from greater asset diversification and be better positioned to deal with industry headwinds and the impact of industry risks, which improves GMIN's long-term production and cash flow profile;

Insider and Shareholder Support: Each of the directors and members of senior management of GMIN, as well as GMIN's three largest shareholders, La Mancha, Franco-Nevada and Eldorado, who in aggregate own approximately 60% of the outstanding GMIN Shares, have entered into the Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreements pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their GMIN Shares in favour of the Arrangement and any other transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement. In addition, each of the directors and members of senior management of Reunion Gold, as well as La Mancha, and two subsidiaries of, and a trust controlled by, Dundee Corporation, who in the aggregate own approximately 29% of the outstanding Reunion Gold Shares, have entered into the GMIN Voting Support Agreements pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their Reunion Gold Shares in favour of the Arrangement and any other transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement;

Fairness Opinions: RBC and Cormark have each provided their respective opinions to the GMIN Special Committee and the GMIN Board, copies of which are attached as "Appendix F-1 – Opinion of RBC Dominion Securities Inc." and "Appendix F-2 – Opinion of Cormark Securities Inc." to the Circular, to the effect that, as of April 21, 2024, and based on and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth in such opinions, the Consideration (as defined in the Circular) is fair, from a financial point of view, to the GMIN Shareholders; and

Increased Financial Capacity: The GMIN Private Placements will raise between US\$50 - 60 million and provide New GMIN with significant immediate liquidity to facilitate the unlocking of value in New GMIN's asset portfolio.

Annual General Meeting

In addition to the GMIN Arrangement Resolution and the GMIN Private Placements Resolution, the GMIN Meeting will be held for the following purposes:

    1. to receive and consider the annual consolidated financial statements of GMIN for the financial year ended December 31, 2023 and the external auditors' report thereon;
    1. to elect the directors of GMIN for the ensuing year;
    1. to appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent auditors of GMIN and to authorize the directors to fix the auditors' compensation;
    1. to consider and, if deemed advisable, to approve, with or without variation, an ordinary resolution ratifying and confirming the amendments to the by-laws of GMIN (collectively, paragraphs 2 to 4 being the "GMIN Annual Resolutions"); and
    1. to transact such further or other business as may properly come before the GMIN Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof.

The GMIN Board unanimously recommends that GMIN Shareholders vote in favour of each of the GMIN Annual Resolutions. See "Particular of Matters to be Acted Upon at GMIN Meeting – GMIN Annual Resolutions" and "Appendix M-1 – GMIN Annual General Meeting" in the Circular for additional information.

Dear Reunion Gold Corporation securityholder:

On April 22, 2024, Reunion Gold Corporation ("Reunion Gold"), G Mining Ventures Corp. ("GMIN") and Greenheart Gold Inc. (formerly 15963982 Canada Inc.)

In connection with the Arrangement, you are invited to attend the annual general and special meeting of the holders of Reunion Gold Shares (the "Reunion Gold Shareholders") and the holders of options ("Reunion Gold Options") to purchase Reunion Gold Shares (the "Reunion Gold Optionholders" and together with the Reunion Gold Shareholders, the "Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders") to be held at the offices of Stikeman Elliott LLP located at 5300 Commerce Court West, 199 Bay St. Toronto, Ontario M5L 1B9, on July 9, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) (the "Reunion Gold Meeting").

Each of the directors and members of senior management of Reunion Gold, as well as La Mancha and two subsidiaries of, and a trust controlled by, Dundee Corporation, who in the aggregate own approximately 29% of the outstanding Reunion Gold Shares, have entered into voting support agreements with GMIN pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their Reunion Gold Shares at the Reunion Gold Meeting in favour of the Arrangement and any other transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement (the "GMIN Voting Support Agreements").

Similarly, each of the directors and members of senior management of GMIN, as well as GMIN's three largest shareholders, La Mancha, Franco-Nevada and Eldorado Gold Corporation ("Eldorado"), who in the aggregate own approximately 60% of the outstanding GMIN Shares, have entered into voting support agreements with Reunion Gold pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their GMIN Shares at the GMIN Meeting in favour of the Arrangement and any other transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement (the "Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreements").

Reunion Gold Special Committee and Board Recommendation

After careful consideration, including a thorough review of the Arrangement Agreement, the fairness opinions provided by BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. ("BMO Capital Markets") and SCP Resource Finance LP ("SCP") and other matters considered relevant, including the various factors described more fully in the accompanying joint management information circular of Reunion Gold and GMIN (the "Circular"), and following consultation with management of Reunion Gold and its financial and legal advisors, the special committee of the Reunion Gold Board formed for the purpose of considering the Arrangement (the "Reunion Gold Special Committee") unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of Reunion Gold. Accordingly, the Reunion Gold Special Committee unanimously recommended that the Reunion Gold Board approve the Arrangement Agreement and recommend that Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders vote in favour of the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution.

The Reunion Gold Board (with David A. Fennell abstaining from voting due to his role as a director of GMIN), after consultation with the Reunion Gold Board's financial and legal advisors, and based on the unanimous recommendation of the Reunion Gold Special Committee, unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of Reunion Gold. Accordingly, the Reunion Gold Board (with David A. Fennell abstaining) unanimously recommends that Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders vote in favour of the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution, the full text of which is set forth in "Appendix B – Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution" attached to the Circular.

In reviewing the terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and in determining that the Arrangement is in the best interest of Reunion Gold, the Reunion Gold Special Committee and the Reunion Gold Board considered a number of factors, including, among others, the following:

Opportunity to Both Receive a Significant Premium and Significant Participation in Future Potential Growth of Combined Business and Spinco: The value of the Consideration to Reunion Gold Shareholders represents a premium of 29% based on GMIN's and Reunion Gold's closing price and 10-day volume-weighted average price on the TSX and TSX-V as at April 19, 2024, being the last trading day prior to announcement of the Arrangement, respectively, without accounting for the value of Spinco. The Arrangement also provides Reunion Gold Shareholders with approximately 43% ownership of New GMIN on a fully-diluted-in-the-money basis before giving effect to the GMIN Private Placements and approximately 80.1% of the Spinco Shares, giving Reunion Gold Shareholders significant participation in the potential future upside of the Oko West Project and to GMIN's portfolio, and continued exposure to Reunion Gold's current exploration stage assets being transferred to Spinco;

Strengthened Portfolio: The business combination of GMIN and Reunion Gold positions New GMIN to become a leading South American intermediate gold producer, supported by the near-term potential of the TZ Project, which is on schedule and on budget for commercial production in the second half of 2024 and is engineered to produce approximately 200,000 gold ounces per year for the first five years at an attractive lowest quartile all-in sustaining cost, and the long-term potential of the Oko West Project;

Management Track-Record: The New GMIN management team is ideally positioned to unlock value at the Oko West Project through leveraging systems, equipment, expertise and team from the TZ Project, which is supported by an impressive track-record, including through the Gignac Family-owned G Mining Services Inc., of executing world-class projects in the Guiana Shield region to generate industry leading returns for its stakeholders;

Limited Equity Dilution Required to Fund the Oko West Project Development: New GMIN would be able to leverage its free cash flow from the TZ Project, forecasted to total approximately US\$500 million between 2025 to 2027 at a gold

price of US\$ 1,600 / oz, to fund a substantial portion of the construction of the Oko West Project, and thus limit potential financing dilution to the New GMIN shareholder base;

Compelling Re-Rate Potential: New GMIN will have the benefit of the opportunity for a faster and larger production re-rate and a higher mid-tier producer multiple once the Oko West Project is in production;

Enhanced Market Profile and Liquidity: Upon completion of the Arrangement, New GMIN will have a broadened shareholder base, an increased public float, and expected benefits from index inclusion (neither Party being currently included in any index), increased trading liquidity, and investor interest. The anticipated increased market capitalization and trading liquidity is expected to broaden New GMIN's investor appeal with enhanced market interest and analyst coverage;

Regional Platform: New GMIN is positioned to spearhead further regional consolidation, leveraging a strong South American platform of assets and extensive knowledge of the operating and regulatory environments in the region;

Asset Diversification: New GMIN will benefit from greater asset diversification and be better positioned to deal with industry headwinds and the impact of industry risks, which improves GMIN's long-term production and cash flow profile;

Insider and Shareholder Support: Each of the directors and members of senior management of Reunion Gold, as well as La Mancha, and two subsidiaries of, and a trust controlled by, Dundee Corporation, who in the aggregate own approximately 29% of the outstanding Reunion Gold Shares, have entered into the GMIN Voting Support Agreements pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their Reunion Gold Shares in favour of the Arrangement and any other transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement. In addition, each of the directors and members of senior management of GMIN, as well as GMIN's three largest shareholders, La Mancha, Franco-Nevada and Eldorado, who in aggregate own approximately 60% of the outstanding GMIN Shares, have entered into the Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreements pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their GMIN Shares in favour of the Arrangement and any other transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement.

Fairness Opinions: BMO Capital Markets and SCP each provided their respective opinions to the Reunion Gold Special Committee and the Reunion Gold Board, copies of which are attached as "Appendix G-1 – Opinion of BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc." and "Appendix G-2 – Opinion of SCP Resource Finance LP" to the Circular, to the effect that, as of April 21, 2024, and based on and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth therein, (i) the Reunion Gold Exchange Ratio is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Reunion Gold Shareholders, as set forth in the opinion provided by BMO Capital Markets, and (ii) the consideration to be received by Reunion Gold Shareholders is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Reunion Gold Shareholders, as set forth in the opinion provided by SCP; and

Increased Financial Capacity: The GMIN Private Placements will raise between US\$50 - 60 million and provide New GMIN with significant immediate liquidity to facilitate the unlocking of value in New GMIN's asset portfolio

Other Matters to be Acted Upon at the Reunion Gold Meeting

In addition to the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution, the Reunion Gold Meeting will be held for the following purposes:

    1. to receive and consider the annual consolidated financial statements of Reunion Gold for the financial year ended December 31, 2023 and the external auditors' report thereon;

The New GMIN Pro Forma Financial Statements, as set forth in this Circular, should not be interpreted as indicative of financial position or other results of operations had the Parties operated as a combined entity as at or for the periods presented, and such information does not purport to project New GMIN's results of operations for any future period. As such, undue reliance should not be placed on such New GMIN Pro Forma Financial Statements. In addition, the Spinco Pro-Forma Financial Statements, as set forth in this Circular, should not be interpreted as indicative of financial position or other results of operations had Spinco operated as a standalone entity as at or for the periods presented, and such information does not purport to project Spinco's results of operations for any future period. As such, undue reliance should not be placed on such Spinco Pro Forma Financial Statements.

  • if the Arrangement is not completed, a Party may be required to pay the Termination Fee to the other Party in certain circumstances;
  • the focus of management's time and attention on the Arrangement may detract from other aspects of the respective businesses of the Parties;

Scientific and Technical Information

All Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources for the Parties have been estimated in accordance with the standards of the CIM and NI 43-101. All Mineral Resources are reported exclusive of Mineral Reserves. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Information on data verification performed on the TZ Project and the Oko West Project contained in this Circular is contained in the GMIN Technical Report and the Reunion Gold Technical Report, each of which is available under the Parties' respective SEDAR+ profiles at www.sedarplus.ca, and neither of which forms part of this Circular. See "Interests of Experts – Interests of Experts – GMIN" and "Interests of Experts – Interests of Experts – Reunion Gold" in this Circular.

Scientific and technical information contained in this Circular with respect to GMIN has been reviewed and approved by Louis-Pierre Gignac, President & CEO of GMIN, who is GMIN's qualified person for the purposes of NI 43-101 and, with respect to Reunion Gold, has been reviewed and approved by Justin van der Toorn, Vice President Exploration of Reunion Gold, who is Reunion Gold's qualified person for the purposes of NI 43-101.

See the GMIN Technical Report and the Reunion Gold Technical Report, each of which is available under the Parties' respective SEDAR+ profiles at www.sedarplus.ca and neither of which forms part of this Circular, and the GMIN AIF and the Reunion Gold AIF, each of which is incorporated by reference into this Circular, for further information on the TZ Project and the Oko West Project, including information concerning associated QA/QC and data verification matters, the key assumptions, parameters and methods used by a Party to estimate Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources, and for additional information regarding known legal, political, environmental, and other risks that could materially affect a Party's business and the potential development of the Parties' Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources.

Cautionary Note to GMIN Shareholders and Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders in the United States Concerning Estimates of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves

The Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates contained in the GMIN Technical Report and the Reunion Gold Technical Report, each of which is available under the Parties' respective SEDAR+ profiles at www.sedarplus.ca and neither of which forms part of this Circular, and the GMIN AIF and the Reunion Gold AIF, each of which is incorporated by reference into this Circular, have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian Securities Laws, which differ from the requirements adopted by the SEC under Subpart 1300. Accordingly, Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource information in this Circular may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under applicable U.S. Securities Laws.

Canadian reporting requirements for disclosure of mineral properties are governed by NI 43-101. The definitions used in NI 43-101 are incorporated by reference from the CIM Definition Standards. The terms "Mineral Reserve", "Proven Mineral Reserve" and "Probable Mineral Reserve" are Canadian mining terms as defined in NI 43-101, and these definitions differ in certain respects from the definitions in Subpart 1300. In accordance with NI 43-101, the terms "Mineral Reserve", "Proven Mineral Reserve", "Probable Mineral Reserve", "Mineral Resource", "Measured Mineral Resource", "Indicated Mineral Resource" and "Inferred Mineral Resource" used in this Circular or in the documents incorporated by reference herein shall have the meanings set forth in the CIM Definition Standards. United States readers are specifically cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into mineral reserves, as defined under applicable U.S. Securities Laws.

In addition, "Inferred Mineral Resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and their economic and legal feasibility. A significant amount of exploration must be completed in order to determine whether an Inferred Mineral Resource may be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian regulations, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or prefeasibility studies, except in rare cases. U.S. readers are cautioned that Inferred Mineral Resources are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. Likewise, U.S. readers are cautioned that there is no certainty that all or any part of "Measured Mineral Resources" or "Indicated Mineral Resources" will be realized. Disclosure of "contained ounces" in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations if such disclosure includes the grade or quality and the quantity for each category of Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve.

Accordingly, information contained in this Circular or incorporated by reference herein containing descriptions of mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by United States companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under applicable U.S. Securities Laws.

Information for United States Securityholders

Each of the New GMIN Shares, Spinco Shares, Replacement Options and Replacement Spinco Options to be issued and exchanged under the Arrangement have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act and are being issued in reliance on the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption, which exempts the issuance of any securities issued in exchange for one or more bona fide outstanding securities from the general requirement of registration where the terms and conditions of the issuance and exchange of such securities have been approved by a court of competent jurisdiction, after a hearing upon the fairness of the terms and conditions of such issuance and exchange at which all persons to whom it is proposed to issue the securities have the right to appear and receive timely notice thereof.

The Court is authorized to conduct a hearing at which the substantive and procedural fairness of the terms and conditions of the Arrangement will be considered. The Court issued the Interim Order on June 7, 2024, and, subject to the approval of the Arrangement by the GMIN Shareholders and the Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders, a hearing of the application for the Final Order will be held on July 11, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) at the courthouse, at 330 University Avenue, 7th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5G 1R7. All Securityholders to be issued securities in the Arrangement are entitled to appear and be heard at this hearing. The Final Order will constitute a basis for the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption with respect to the issuance and exchange of the New GMIN Shares and the Spinco Shares to Reunion Gold Shareholders, the issuance and exchange of the Replacement Options and Replacement Spinco Options to holders of Reunion Gold Options, the issuance and exchange of the New GMIN Shares to GMIN Shareholders, and the issuance and exchange of the Replacement Options to holders of GMIN Options. Prior to the hearing on the Final Order, the Court will be informed of this effect of the Final Order. See "The Arrangement – Procedure for the Arrangement Becoming Effective – Court Approvals" and "The Arrangement – U.S. Securities Law Matters" in this Circular.

The New GMIN Shares and the Spinco Shares issuable to the applicable Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement will be, upon completion of the Arrangement, freely tradeable under the U.S. Securities Act, except by persons who are "affiliates" of New GMIN or Spinco at such time or were affiliates of New GMIN or Spinco within 90 days before such time. Persons who may be deemed to be "affiliates" of an issuer include individuals or entities that directly or indirectly control, are controlled by, or are under common control with, the issuer, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise, and generally include executive officers and directors of the issuer as well as certain major shareholders of the issuer. Any resale of such New GMIN Shares or Spinco Shares by such an affiliate (or former affiliate) may be subject to the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act, absent an exemption or exclusion therefrom.

The solicitation of proxies for each of the Meetings is not subject to the requirements of Section 14(a) of the U.S. Exchange Act. Accordingly, the solicitations and transactions contemplated in this Circular are being made in the United States for securities of Canadian issuers in accordance with Canadian corporate and Securities Laws, and this Circular has been prepared solely in accordance with disclosure requirements applicable in Canada. Shareholders in the United States should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United States applicable to registration statements under the U.S. Securities Act and proxy statements under the U.S. Exchange Act.

Information concerning the operations of the Parties contained herein has been prepared in accordance with Canadian disclosure standards, which are not comparable in all respects to United States disclosure standards. The financial statements of the Parties included or incorporated by reference, as applicable, in this Circular were prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, which differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles in certain material respects, and are subject to auditing and auditor independence standards in Canada, and thus may not be comparable to financial statements and information of United States companies prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under the U.S. Securities Laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Parties are organized or incorporated under the Laws of Canada, that most of the officers and directors of the Parties are residents of countries other than the United States, that most or all of the experts named in this Circular are residents of countries other than the United States, and that substantial portions of the assets of such persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for Securityholders to effect service of process within the United States upon the Parties and their respective officers or directors, or to realize against them upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil liabilities under the federal securities laws of the United States or "blue sky" laws of any state within the United States. In addition, Securityholders should not assume that the courts of Canada (i) would enforce judgments of United States courts obtained in actions against such persons predicated upon civil liabilities under the federal securities laws of the United States or "blue sky" laws of any state within the United States, or (ii) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against such persons predicated upon civil liabilities under the federal securities laws of the United States or "blue sky" laws of any state within the United States.

THE SECURITIES CONTEMPLATED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SEC OR THE SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, NOR HAS THE SEC OR ANY SUCH STATE SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY PASSED ON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS CIRCULAR. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.

Information for Non-Registered Shareholders

The information set forth hereunder is of significant importance to many Shareholders, as a substantial number of such Shareholders do not hold Shares in their own name. Non-Registered Shareholders should note that only proxies deposited by Shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Transfer Agent for the applicable Party as the Registered Shareholders can be recognized and acted upon at the applicable Meeting. If Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by an Intermediary, then in almost all cases those Shares will not be registered in a holder's name on the records of the applicable Party. Such Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Intermediary or an agent of such Intermediary. In Canada, the vast majority of such Shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for CDS, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Shares held by Intermediaries or their nominees can only be voted for or against resolutions, or withheld from voting, upon the instructions of the Non-Registered Shareholder. Without specific instructions, the Intermediaries or nominees are prohibited from voting Shares for their clients.

Applicable regulatory policy may require Intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Non-Registered Shareholders in advance of shareholder meetings. Every Intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions, which should be carefully followed by Non-Registered Shareholders in order to ensure that their Shares are voted at the applicable Meeting. Often, the form of proxy supplied to a Non-Registered Shareholder by its Intermediary is identical to the form of proxy provided to Registered Shareholders; however, its purpose is limited to instructing the Registered Shareholders on how to vote on behalf of the Non-Registered Shareholders. The majority of Intermediaries now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge. Broadridge typically mails a scannable voting instruction form in lieu of the applicable form of proxy. The Non-Registered Shareholder is requested to complete and return the voting instruction form by mail. Alternatively, the Non-Registered Shareholder can call a toll-free telephone number or access the internet to vote the Shares held by the Non-Registered Shareholder. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Shares to be represented at the applicable Meeting. A Non-Registered Shareholder receiving a voting instruction form cannot use that voting instruction form to vote Shares directly at the applicable Meeting, as the voting instruction form must be returned as directed by Broadridge well in advance of the applicable Meeting in order to have the Shares voted.

Although a Non-Registered Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the applicable Meeting for the purpose of voting Shares registered in the name of his, her or its Intermediary, a Non-Registered Shareholder may vote those Shares as a proxyholder for the Registered Shareholder. To do this, a Non-Registered Shareholder should enter such Non-Registered Shareholder's own name in the blank space on the applicable form of proxy or voting instruction form provided to the Non-Registered Shareholder and return the document to such Non-Registered Shareholder's Intermediary or the agent of such Intermediary in accordance with the instructions provided by such Intermediary or agent of such Intermediary well in advance of the applicable Meeting.

Following distribution of the Letters of Transmittal, Non-Registered Shareholders should also instruct their Intermediary to complete the applicable Letter of Transmittal regarding the Arrangement with respect to such Non-Registered Shareholder's Shares, once such has been provided, in order to receive the New GMIN Shares or Spinco Shares issuable pursuant to the Arrangement in exchange for such Non-Registered Shareholder's Shares.

The above is a summary of certain terms of the Arrangement Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Arrangement Agreement, a copy of which has been filed under each Party's respective SEDAR+ profiles at www.sedarplus.ca, and to the more detailed summary provided under the heading "Summary of Material Agreements in Connection with the Arrangement – Arrangement Agreement" in this Circular.

GMIN Private Placements In connection with the Arrangement, La Mancha exercised its anti-dilution rights granted by GMIN to La Mancha under the La Mancha IRA and entered into the La Mancha Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which, immediately prior to the Effective Time, La Mancha shall subscribe for and purchase from GMIN such number of GMIN Shares as is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) US\$25 million (which may be increased by La Mancha to US\$35 million in its sole discretion) by (b) the Subscription Price, rounded down to the nearest whole number of GMIN Shares.

Also in connection with the Arrangement, Franco-Nevada entered into the Franco-Nevada Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which, immediately prior to the Effective Time, Franco-Nevada shall subscribe for US\$25 million of GMIN Shares. The Subscription Price and other terms under the Franco-Nevada Private Placement are the same as under the La Mancha Private Placement.

The closing of the GMIN Private Placements is subject to certain customary conditions, including the approval of the TSX and confirmation of the satisfaction of all conditions under the Arrangement Agreement and that the Parties are prepared to proceed to closing of the Arrangement. In addition, pursuant to the requirements

of the TSX, closing of the GMIN Private Placements is subject to obtaining the
approval of the GMIN Shareholders. Given this requirement, GMIN and each of La
Mancha and Franco-Nevada have agreed to proceed with the GMIN Private
Placements at a subscription price of \$2.279 per GMIN Share, subject to receiving
the GMIN Private Placements Resolution Shareholder Approval.
See "The Arrangement – GMIN Private Placements" in this Circular.
GMIN IRAs Following the Effective Time, and pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement
Agreement, the Parties covenant to cause New GMIN to execute and deliver a new
investor rights agreement with each of La Mancha, Franco-Nevada and Eldorado,
which shall transpose each of their rights in respect of GMIN pursuant to the GMIN
IRAs, as applicable, to rights in respect of New GMIN.
See "Summary of Material Agreements in Connection with the Arrangement –
Investor Rights Agreements – GMIN IRAs" in this Circular.
Spinco IRA Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the Parties have agreed that
the terms of the Spinco IRA to be entered into in connection with the Arrangement
will provide for certain rights of Reunion Gold, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of New
GMIN, relating to Spinco following completion of the Arrangement, including among
others that: (i) Reunion Gold will have the right to designate one qualified individual
to serve as a director of Spinco as well as the right, but not the obligation, to
designate such individual for appointment to the audit committee of Spinco; (ii) if
Spinco proposes to issue any treasury Spinco Shares or other securities, Reunion
Gold will have the right to subscribe for such number of Spinco Shares so as to
maintain its ownership percentage in Spinco immediately prior to such issuance;
and (iii) Spinco shall be restricted from acquiring exploration and mining claims or
other interests in the Area of Interest subject to Reunion Gold's preferential rights
including a right of first refusal on dispositions by Spinco of exploration and mining
claims within the Excluded Zones and the grant of a 1% or greater net smelter
return royalty or any greater than \$15 million stream financing transaction. In
consideration for such rights, the Parties have agreed that Reunion Gold will be
subject to certain lock-up and standstill obligations for a period of 24 months from
the Effective Date and for Spinco to be provided placement rights on proposed
sales by Reunion Gold of Spinco Shares greater than 5% of the then issued and
outstanding Spinco Shares. See Summary of Material Agreements in Connection
with the Arrangement – Investor Rights Agreements – Spinco IRA" in this Circular.
Approval of GMIN Shareholders
and Reunion Gold
Securityholders Required for
the Arrangement
In order for the Arrangement to proceed, the GMIN Arrangement Resolution must
be approved by: (a) at least 662/3% of the votes cast by the GMIN Shareholders
present in person or represented by proxy at the GMIN Meeting; (b) a majority of
the votes cast by the GMIN Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy
at the GMIN Meeting, excluding the votes attached to the GMIN Shares held by La
Mancha and its related parties and joint actors in accordance with Section 8.1(2) of
MI 61-101; and (c) pursuant to Sections 611(c) and 611(g) of the TSX Company
Manual, a majority of the votes cast by the GMIN Shareholders present in person
or represented by proxy at the GMIN Meeting.
In addition, in order for the Arrangement to proceed, the Reunion Gold Arrangement
Resolution must be approved by (a) at least 662/3% of the votes cast by the Reunion
Gold Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Reunion Gold
Meeting, (b) at least 662/3% of the votes cast on the Reunion Gold Arrangement
Resolution by the Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders present in person or
represented by proxy at the Reunion Gold Meeting, voting together as a single
class, and (c) a majority of the votes cast by the Reunion Gold Shareholders
14

present in person or represented by proxy at the Reunion Gold Meeting, excluding the votes attached to the Reunion Gold Shares held by David A. Fennell and his related parties and joint actors, in accordance with Section 8.1(2) of MI 61-101.

Stock Exchange Approvals Listing Approval

It is expected that the Parties will apply to list (i) the New GMIN Shares on the TSX, and (ii) the Spinco Shares on the TSX-V, with effect promptly following the Effective Date. Listing will be subject to New GMIN and Spinco fulfilling, respectively, all of the listing requirements of the TSX and the TSX-V. However, only the listing of the New GMIN Shares on the TSX is a mutual condition to the completion of the Arrangement.

It is anticipated that the listing of the New GMIN Shares will be considered a "substitutional listing" for GMIN under the rules of the TSX, and will result in the New GMIN Shares being assigned new CUSIP and ISIN numbers.

New GMIN Share Issuance Approval

Pursuant to Sections 611(c) and 611(g) of the TSX Company Manual, the TSX requires shareholder approval in circumstances where an issuance of securities will result in the issuance of 25% or more of an issuer's outstanding securities on a non-diluted basis in connection with an acquisition and any related private placement. Based on the GMIN Exchange Ratio and the Reunion Gold Exchange Ratio, an aggregate of up to 105,441,431 New GMIN Shares is expected to be issued to persons other than GMIN Shareholders (except for those participating in the GMIN Private Placements), representing approximately 93.5% of the issued and outstanding GMIN Shares before giving effect to such issuance, on a nondiluted basis and taking into account the GMIN Exchange Ratio. As such issuance exceeds 25% of the total number of issued and outstanding GMIN Shares before giving effect to the Arrangement, approval of the GMIN Arrangement Resolution by a majority of the GMIN Shareholders is required. Additionally, in the event the number of New GMIN Shares issuable pursuant to the Arrangement is greater than the 96,372,881 New GMIN Shares proposed to be approved for issuance at the GMIN Meeting, the TSX will generally not require further securityholder approval for the issuance of up to 24,093,220 additional New GMIN Shares as a result of any increase in the consideration payable pursuant to the Arrangement, such number of additional New GMIN Shares representing 25% of the number of New GMIN Shares to be approved by GMIN Shareholders attributable to the Arrangement.

GMIN Private Placements Approval

Pursuant to Section 607(e) of the TSX Company Manual, the price per listed security for any private placement must not be lower than the Market Price (as such term is defined in the TSX Company Manual) less the maximum allowable applicable discount. Since the Subscription Price was determined with reference to the trading price of the GMIN Shares prior to the public announcement of the Arrangement, the Subscription Price is deemed by the TSX to be less than the Market Price less the maximum allowable applicable discount and must therefore be approved by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the GMIN Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the GMIN Meeting, excluding the votes attached to the GMIN Shares held by La Mancha and Franco-Nevada and their associates and affiliates.

See "The Arrangement – Procedure for the Arrangement Becoming Effective – Stock Exchange Approvals" in this Circular.

Court Approval The Arrangement requires the Court's approval of the Final Order. Prior to the mailing of this Circular, the Parties obtained the Interim Order authorizing and directing the Parties to call, hold and conduct the Meetings and to submit the Arrangement to the GMIN Shareholders and Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders for approval. The Interim Order is attached as "Appendix D – Interim Order" to this Circular.

Subject to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the approval of the GMIN Arrangement Resolution and the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution by the GMIN Shareholders and the Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders, respectively, the Parties will apply to the Court for the Final Order.

The application hearing for the Final Order approving the Arrangement is scheduled for July 11, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) by videoconference before a Justice of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.

See "The Arrangement – Procedure for the Arrangement Becoming Effective – Court Approvals" in this Circular.

The Final Order of the Court will, if granted, constitute the basis for the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption with respect to the securities to be issued under the Arrangement. Prior to the hearing on the Final Order, the Court will be informed of the Parties intention to rely on the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption in respect of the issuance of securities under the Arrangement based on the Court's approval of the Final Order. The Section 3(a)(10) Exemption exempts the offer and sale of securities in certain exchange transactions from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act.

See "The ArrangementU.S. Securities Law Matters" in this Circular.

Timing If the Meetings are held as scheduled and are not adjourned or postponed and the other necessary conditions at that point in time are satisfied or waived, the Parties will apply to the Court for the Final Order approving the Arrangement. If the Final Order is obtained on or about July 11, 2024, in form and substance satisfactory to the Parties, each acting reasonably, and all other conditions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement are satisfied or waived, including receipt of the Stock Exchange Approval, the Parties currently expect the Effective Date to occur on July 15, 2024. In addition to the foregoing assumptions, the completion of the Arrangement may be delayed for a number of reasons, including, among other things, an objection before the Court at the application hearing for the Final Order on July 11, 2024, or the failure to obtain the Stock Exchange Approval in the anticipated timeframes.

The RBC Fairness Opinion does not constitute a recommendation to the GMIN Board or to the GMIN Special Committee as to whether GMIN should proceed with the Arrangement or as to how any GMIN Shareholder should vote or act on any matter relating to the Arrangement.

The Cormark Fairness Opinion does not address the relative merits of the Arrangement as compared to other business strategies or transactions that might be available with respect to GMIN or GMIN's underlying business decision to effect the Arrangement.

See "The Arrangement – GMIN Fairness Opinions" in this Circular and "Appendix F-1 – Opinion of RBC Dominion Securities Inc." and "Appendix F-2 – Opinion of Cormark Securities Inc." attached to this Circular.

Recommendation of the GMIN Special Committee The GMIN Special Committee unanimously determined, after consultation with its financial and legal advisors and following receipt and review of the GMIN Fairness Opinions, that the Arrangement and the GMIN Private Placements are in the best interests of GMIN, and unanimously recommended that the GMIN Board approve the Arrangement and recommend that the GMIN Shareholders vote in favour of the GMIN Arrangement Resolution and in favour of the GMIN Private Placements Resolution.

Recommendation of the GMIN Board The GMIN Board (with the Non-Participating Directors abstaining) unanimously recommends that the GMIN Shareholders vote in favour of the GMIN Arrangement Resolution and in favour of the GMIN Private Placements Resolution at the GMIN Meeting, the full texts of which are respectively attached as "Appendix A – GMIN Arrangement Resolution" to this Circular and set out under the heading "GMIN Private Placements – Approval of GMIN Private Placements" in this Circular.

Reasons for the Recommendations of the GMIN Special Committee and the GMIN Board

In determining that the Arrangement is in the best interests of GMIN and that GMIN Shareholders should vote at the GMIN Meeting in favour of the GMIN Arrangement Resolution and the GMIN Private Placements, the GMIN Special Committee and the GMIN Board, with the assistance of financial and legal advisors, carefully reviewed the proposed Arrangement and the terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement and related agreements and documents and considered and relied upon a number of substantive factors, including the factors set forth below:

  • Top Tier Asset: The Oko West Project is amongst the highest quality gold development projects globally. It hosts one of the most significant gold discoveries in the Guiana Shield, a mining friendly region, known for worldclass deposits. The Oko West Project has potential to support a large, long-life mine complex with an expedited timeline to production.
  • Strengthened Portfolio: The business combination of GMIN and Reunion Gold positions New GMIN to become a leading South American intermediate gold producer, supported by the near-term potential of the TZ Project, which is on schedule and on budget for commercial production in the second half of 2024 and is engineered to produce approximately 200,000 gold ounces per year for the first five years at an attractive lowest quartile all-in sustaining cost, and the long-term potential of the Oko West Project.
  • Management Track-Record: The New GMIN management team is ideally positioned to unlock value at the Oko West Project through leveraging systems, equipment, expertise and team from the TZ Project, which is supported by an impressive track-record, including through the Gignac Family-owned GMS, of executing world-class projects in the Guiana Shield region to generate industry leading returns for its stakeholders.
  • Limited Equity Dilution Required to Fund the Oko West Project Development: New GMIN would be able to leverage its free cash flow from the TZ Project, forecasted to total approximately US\$500 million between 2025 to 2027 at a gold price of US\$1,600 / oz, to fund a substantial portion of the construction of the Oko West Project, and thus limit potential financing dilution to the New GMIN shareholder base.
  • Compelling Re-Rate Potential: New GMIN will have the benefit of the opportunity for a faster and larger production re-rate and a higher mid-tier producer multiple once the Oko West Project is in production.
  • Enhanced Market Profile and Liquidity: Upon completion of the Arrangement, New GMIN will have a broadened shareholder base, an increased public float, and expected benefits from index inclusion (neither Party being currently included in any index), increased trading liquidity, and investor interest. The anticipated increased market capitalization and trading liquidity is expected to broaden New GMIN's investor appeal with enhanced market interest and analyst coverage.
  • Regional Platform: New GMIN is positioned to spearhead further regional consolidation, leveraging a strong South American platform of assets and extensive knowledge of the operating and regulatory environments in the region.
  • Asset Diversification: New GMIN will benefit from greater asset diversification and be better positioned to deal with industry headwinds and the impact of industry risks, which improves GMIN's long-term production and cash flow profile.

  • Insider and Shareholder Support: Each of the directors and members of senior management of GMIN, as well as GMIN's three largest shareholders, La Mancha, Franco-Nevada and Eldorado, who in aggregate own approximately 60% of the outstanding GMIN Shares, have entered into the Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreements pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their Shares in favour of the Arrangement. In addition, each of the directors and members of senior management of Reunion Gold, as well as La Mancha, and two subsidiaries of, and a trust controlled by, Dundee Corporation, who in the aggregate own approximately 29% of the outstanding Reunion Gold Shares, have entered into the GMIN Voting Support Agreements pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their Shares in favour of the Arrangement. See "The Arrangement – Voting Support Agreements" in this Circular.

  • Fairness Opinions: RBC and Cormark have each provided their respective opinions to the GMIN Special Committee and the GMIN Board, copies of which are attached as "Appendix F-1 – Opinion of RBC Dominion Securities Inc." and "Appendix F-2 – Opinion of Cormark Securities Inc." to this Circular, to the effect that, as of April 21, 2024, and based on and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth in such opinions, the Consideration is fair, from a financial point of view, to the GMIN Shareholders.
  • Increased Financial Capacity: The GMIN Private Placements will raise between US\$50 - 60 million and provide New GMIN with significant immediate liquidity to facilitate the unlocking of value in New GMIN's asset portfolio.
  • Terms of the Arrangement Agreement: The terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement are, in the judgment of the GMIN Special Committee and the GMIN Board, following consultations with their financial and legal advisors, reasonable and were the result of a comprehensive negotiation process between GMIN and Reunion Gold and their respective financial and legal advisors, undertaken with the oversight and participation of the GMIN Special Committee. In particular:
  • Ability to Respond to GMIN Superior Proposal. Under the Arrangement Agreement, the GMIN Board, in certain circumstances prior to the GMIN Arrangement Resolution Shareholder Approval being obtained at the GMIN Meeting, in accordance with its fiduciary duties, remains able to consider, accept and enter into a Permitted Acquisition Agreement with respect to a GMIN Superior Proposal, or withdraw, modify or amend its recommendation that GMIN Shareholders vote to approve the GMIN Arrangement Resolution, subject to the requirement that GMIN continues to hold the GMIN Meeting and to cause the Arrangement to be voted on at the GMIN Meeting. The GMIN Termination Fee in the amount of \$31,200,000 payable by GMIN in such circumstances is, in the view of the GMIN Special Committee, reasonable and consistent with prevailing market terms, is appropriate in the circumstances as an inducement for Reunion Gold to enter into the Arrangement Agreement, and would not preclude a third party from making a Superior Proposal.
  • Limited Conditions to Closing. The completion of the Arrangement is subject to a limited number of conditions, which in the view of the GMIN Special Committee and the GMIN Board, after receiving legal and financial advice, are reasonable in the circumstances and, accordingly, offers relative deal certainty.

  • Reunion Gold Termination Fee. Reunion Gold has agreed to pay GMIN the Reunion Gold Termination Fee of \$31,200,000 if the Arrangement is not completed under certain circumstances as set out in the Arrangement Agreement, including in the event where the Reunion Gold Board determines to enter into a Permitted Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Reunion Gold Superior Proposal or withdraws, modifies or amends its recommendation that Reunion Gold Shareholders vote to approve the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution, which would also be subject to the requirement that Reunion Gold continues to hold the Reunion Gold Meeting and to cause the Arrangement to be voted on at the Reunion Gold Meeting.

  • Required GMIN Shareholder Approval and Court Approval: The GMIN Special Committee and the GMIN Board considered the following which protects GMIN Shareholders:
  • GMIN Shareholders Approval. The GMIN Arrangement Resolution must be approved by, among others, not less than 662/3% of the votes cast at the GMIN Meeting by GMIN Shareholders.
  • Dissent Rights. The GMIN Shareholders have been granted the right to dissent and, subject to certain conditions, be paid the fair value of the GMIN Shares as set forth in the Plan of Arrangement.
  • Court Approval. The Arrangement must be approved by the Court, which will consider, among other things, the substantive and procedural fairness of the Arrangement to GMIN Shareholders.
  • Due Diligence: Management of GMIN and its technical, legal and financial advisors conducted extensive due diligence on Reunion Gold and the Oko West Project.
  • Arm's Length: To the knowledge of the GMIN Board, the terms and conditions of the GMIN Voting Support Agreements and the Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreements were negotiated at Arm's Length between the parties thereto.

Reunion Gold engaged BMO Capital Markets and the Reunion Gold Special Committee engaged SCP to respectively prepare and deliver the BMO Capital Markets Fairness Opinion and the SCP Fairness Opinion.

BMO Capital Markets has provided the BMO Capital Markets Fairness Opinion to the Reunion Gold Board and the Reunion Gold Special Committee to the effect that, as of April 21, 2024, and based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth in the BMO Capital Markets Fairness Opinion, the Reunion Gold Exchange Ratio is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Reunion Gold Shareholders. The summary of the BMO Capital Markets Fairness Opinion in this Circular is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such opinion, attached as "Appendix G-1 – Opinion of BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc." to this Circular. The BMO Capital Markets Fairness Opinion does not constitute a recommendation to the Reunion Gold Board or to the Reunion Gold Special Committee as to whether Reunion Gold should proceed with the Arrangement or as to how any Reunion Gold Voting Securityholder should vote or act on any matter relating to the Arrangement.

Reunion Gold Fairness Opinions

Fairness Opinion does not address the relative merits of the Arrangement as compared to any strategic alternatives that may be available to Reunion Gold.

SCP has provided the SCP Fairness Opinion to the Reunion Gold Board and the Reunion Gold Special Committee to the effect that, as of April 21, 2024, and based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth in the SCP Fairness Opinion, the Consideration to be received by Reunion Gold Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Reunion Gold Shareholders. The summary of the SCP Fairness Opinion in this Circular is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such opinion, attached as "Appendix G-2 – Opinion of SCP Resource Finance LP" to this Circular. The SCP Fairness Opinion does not constitute a recommendation to the Reunion Gold Board or to the Reunion Gold Special Committee as to whether Reunion Gold should proceed with the Arrangement or as to how any Reunion Gold Voting Securityholder should vote or act on any matter relating to the Arrangement. In addition, the SCP Fairness Opinion does not address the relative merits of the Arrangement as compared to any strategic alternatives that may be available to Reunion Gold.

The Reunion Gold Special Committee unanimously determined, after consultation with its financial and legal advisors and following receipt and review of the Reunion Gold Fairness Opinions, that the Arrangement, is in the best interests of Reunion Gold, and unanimously recommends that the Reunion Gold Board approve the Arrangement and recommended that Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders vote in favour of the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution.

The Reunion Gold Board (with the Non-Participating Director abstaining) unanimously recommends that Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders vote in favour of the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution at the Reunion Gold Meeting, the full text of which is attached as "Appendix B – Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution" to this Circular.

In determining that the Arrangement is in the best interests of Reunion Gold and that Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders should vote at the Reunion Gold Meeting in favour of the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution, the Reunion Gold Special Committee and the Reunion Gold Board, with the assistance of financial and legal advisors, carefully reviewed the proposed Arrangement and the terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement and related agreements and documents and considered and relied upon a number of substantive factors, including the factors set forth below:

Opportunity to Both Receive a Significant Premium and Significant Participation in Future Potential Growth of Combined Business and Spinco: The value of the Consideration to Reunion Gold Shareholders represents a premium of 29% based on GMIN's and Reunion Gold's closing price and 10-day volume-weighted average price on the TSX and TSX-V as at April 19, 2024, being the last trading day prior to announcement of the Arrangement, respectively, without accounting for the value of Spinco. The Arrangement also provides Reunion Gold Shareholders with approximately 43% ownership of New GMIN on a fully-diluted-in-the-money basis before giving effect to the GMIN Private Placements, meaning Reunion Gold Shareholders will have significant participation in the potential future upside of the Oko West Project and to GMIN's portfolio, including the TZ Project. In addition, Reunion Gold Shareholders, through their ownership of approximately 80.1% of the Spinco Shares, will have continued exposure to Reunion Gold's current exploration stage assets being transferred to Spinco, and to the

Recommendation of the Reunion Gold Special Committee

Recommendation of the Reunion Gold Board

Reasons for the Recommendations of the Reunion Gold Special Committee and the Reunion Gold Board

Reunion Gold management team's substantial exploration knowledge, expertise and local connections, providing the opportunity to uncover additional new discoveries through Spinco, which will initially have \$15 million in funding.

  • Strengthened Portfolio: The business combination of GMIN and Reunion Gold positions New GMIN to become a leading South American intermediate gold producer, supported by the near-term potential of the TZ Project, which is on schedule and on budget for commercial production in the second half of 2024 and is engineered to produce approximately 200,000 gold ounces per year for the first five years at an attractive lowest quartile all-in sustaining cost, and the long-term potential of the Oko West Project.
  • Management Track-Record: The New GMIN management team is ideally positioned to unlock value at the Oko West Project through leveraging systems, equipment, expertise and team from the TZ Project, which is supported by an impressive track-record, including through the Gignac Family-owned GMS, of executing world-class projects in the Guiana Shield region to generate industry leading returns for its stakeholders.
  • Compelling Re-Rate Potential: New GMIN will have the benefit of the opportunity for a faster and larger production re-rate and a higher mid-tier producer multiple once the Reunion Gold Material is in production.
  • Enhanced Market Profile and Liquidity: Upon completion of the Arrangement, New GMIN will have a broadened shareholder base, an increased public float, and expected benefits from index inclusion (neither Party being currently included in any index), increased trading liquidity, and investor interest. The anticipated increased market capitalization and trading liquidity is expected to broaden New GMIN's investor appeal with enhanced market interest and analyst coverage.
  • Regional Platform: New GMIN is positioned to spearhead further regional consolidation, leveraging a strong South American platform of assets and extensive knowledge of the operating and regulatory environments in the region.
  • Attractive Value Relative to Alternatives: The Reunion Gold Special Committee and the Reunion Gold Board, with the assistance of their financial and legal advisors assessed the alternatives reasonably available to it and determined that the anticipated benefits of the Arrangement, taking into account both the potential future value for shareholders and the associated risk of achieving that future value, are more favourable than pursuing other alternatives reasonably available to Reunion Gold, including:
  • Executing on Current Strategic Plan. The Reunion Gold Special Committee and the Reunion Gold Board assessed Reunion Gold's current and anticipated future opportunities and risks associated with the business operations, assets, financial condition and prospects of Reunion Gold as an independent, publicly traded company, including the risks facing Reunion Gold described under the heading "The Arrangement - Background to the Arrangement – Reunion Gold" in this Circular.
  • Sale to a Potential Competing Bidder. Prior to entering into the Arrangement, including at times with the assistance of its financial advisors, Reunion Gold engaged with a number of domestic and

international industry participants regarding various potential transactions, including a number of industry participants of a sufficient scale to be potential acquirors of Reunion Gold, and, based on those interactions and other factors, including the factors described under the heading "The Arrangement - Background to the Arrangement – Reunion Gold" in this Circular, it was the Reunion Gold Special Committee's and the Reunion Gold Board's view that there was significant uncertainty associated with realizing an alternative transaction on more attractive terms.

  • Extensive Negotiations Leading to Significantly Improved Reunion Gold Exchange Ratio: The Reunion Gold Exchange Ratio was extensively negotiated by the Reunion Gold Special Committee, with GMIN having made four separate proposals, each on successively improved financial terms, and with the final Reunion Gold Exchange Ratio expressed as GMIN's "best and final offer" and representing an approximately 27% increase to the exchange ratio under GMIN's initial proposal.
  • Limited Equity Dilution Required to Fund the Oko West Project Development: Reunion Gold Shareholders are currently exposed to material risks if Reunion Gold attempts to develop the Oko West Project to production, including the substantial capital requirements and exploration expenditures that would be required to continue to identify Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from mineral resources, and to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining; and that there is no guarantee Reunion Gold would be able to obtain the required financing to develop the Oko West Project to production, or if it was able to obtain such financing that the financing would be on terms favourable to Reunion Gold. New GMIN would be able to leverage its free cash flow from the TZ Project, forecasted to total approximately US\$500 million between 2025 to 2027 at a gold price of US\$1,600 / oz, to fund a substantial portion of the construction of the Oko West Project, and thus limit potential financing dilution to the New GMIN shareholder base.
  • Business and Industry Risks and Asset Diversification: The business, operations, assets, financial condition, operating results and prospectus of Reunion Gold are subject to significant uncertainty, including, but not limited to, risks associated with Reunion Gold's dependency on the Oko West Project for its future operating revenue, permitting and regulatory approvals, exploration and development risks and commodity price and inflation risks. The combined business of Reunion Gold and GMIN will be better positioned to deal with industry headwinds and the impact of any of the foregoing risks as a result of the combined company's larger market capitalization, increased technical expertise, asset diversification, and enhanced access to capital and business development opportunities, which improves Reunion Gold's long-term production and cash flow profile.
  • Insider and Shareholder Support: Each of the directors and members of senior management of Reunion Gold, as well as La Mancha, and two subsidiaries of, and a trust controlled by, Dundee Corporation, who in the aggregate own approximately 29% of the outstanding Reunion Gold Shares, have entered into the GMIN Voting Support Agreements pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their Reunion Gold Shares in favour of the Arrangement and any other transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement. In addition, each of the directors and members of senior management of GMIN, as well as GMIN's three largest shareholders, La Mancha, Franco-Nevada and

Eldorado, who in aggregate own approximately 60% of the outstanding GMIN Shares, have entered into the Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreements pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their GMIN Shares in favour of the Arrangement and any other transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement. See "The Arrangement – Voting Support Agreements" in this Circular.

  • Fairness Opinions: BMO Capital Markets and SCP each provided their respective Reunion Gold Fairness Opinions, copies of which are attached as Appendix G-1 – Opinion of BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. and Appendix G-2 – Opinion of SCP Resource Finance LP to this Circular, to the effect that, as of April 21, 2024, and based on and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth in such Reunion Gold Fairness Opinions, the Reunion Gold Exchange Ratio (in respect of the BMO Capital Markets Fairness Opinion) and the Consideration (in respect of the SCP Fairness Opinion), is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Reunion Gold Shareholders.
  • Terms of the Arrangement Agreement: The terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement are, in the judgment of the Reunion Gold Special Committee and the Reunion Gold Board, following consultations with their financial and legal advisors, reasonable and were the result of a comprehensive negotiations process between Reunion Gold and GMIN and their respective legal and financial advisors, undertaken with the oversight and participation of the Reunion Gold Special Committee. In particular:
  • Ability to Respond to Reunion Gold Superior Proposal. Under the Arrangement Agreement, the Reunion Gold Board, in certain circumstances prior to the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution Securityholder Approval being obtained at the Reunion Gold Meeting, in accordance with its fiduciary duties, remains able to consider, accept and enter into a Permitted Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Reunion Gold Superior Proposal, or withdraw, modify or amend its recommendation that Reunion Gold Shareholders vote to approve the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution, subject to the requirement that Reunion Gold continues to hold the Reunion Gold Meeting and to cause the Arrangement to be voted on at the Reunion Gold Meeting. The Reunion Gold Termination Fee in the amount of \$31,200,000 payable by Reunion Gold in such circumstances is, in the view of the Reunion Gold Special Committee, reasonable and consistent with prevailing market terms, is appropriate in the circumstances as an inducement for GMIN to enter into the Arrangement Agreement, and would not preclude a third party from making a Reunion Gold Superior Proposal.
  • Limited Conditions to Closing. GMIN's obligation to complete the Arrangement is subject to a limited number of conditions that the Reunion Gold Special Committee and the Reunion Gold Board believe are reasonable in the circumstances and the completion of the Arrangement is not subject to a due diligence condition. Accordingly, the Arrangement offers relative deal certainty.
  • GMIN Termination Fee. GMIN has agreed to pay Reunion Gold the GMIN Termination Fee of \$31,200,000 if the Arrangement is not completed under certain circumstances as set out in the Arrangement Agreement, including in the event where the GMIN Board determines to enter into a Permitted Acquisition Agreement with respect to a GMIN Superior Proposal or withdraws, modifies or amends its recommendation that GMIN

Shareholders vote to approve the GMIN Arrangement Resolution, which would also be subject to the requirement that GMIN continues to hold the GMIN Meeting and to cause the Arrangement to be voted on at the GMIN Meeting.

  • Required Reunion Gold Voting Securityholder Approval and Court Approval: The Reunion Gold Special Committee and the Reunion Gold Board considered the following which protects Reunion Gold Shareholders:
  • Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders Approval. The Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution must be approved by, among others, not less than 662/3% of the votes cast at the Reunion Gold Meeting by Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders.
  • Dissent Rights. The Reunion Gold Shareholders have been granted the right to dissent and, subject to certain conditions, have their Reunion Gold Shares transferred to New GMIN against payment by Reunion Gold of their fair value.
  • Court Approval. The Arrangement must be approved by the Court, which will consider, among other things, the substantive and procedural fairness of the Arrangement to Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders.
  • Due Diligence: Management of Reunion Gold and its technical, legal and financial advisors conducted extensive due diligence on GMIN and the TZ Project.
  • Arm's Length: To the knowledge of the Reunion Gold Board, the terms and conditions of the Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreements and the GMIN Voting Support Agreements were negotiated at Arm's Length between the parties thereto.
  • Increased Financial Capacity: The GMIN Private Placements will raise between US\$50 - 60 million and provide New GMIN with significant immediate liquidity to facilitate the unlocking of value in New GMIN's asset portfolio.

See "The ArrangementReasons for Recommendation of the Reunion Gold Special Committee and the Reunion Gold Board" in this Circular.

Voting Support Agreements Each of the directors and members of senior management of GMIN, as well as GMIN's three largest shareholders, La Mancha, Franco-Nevada and Eldorado, who in the aggregate own approximately 60% of the outstanding GMIN Shares as at the GMIN Record Date, have entered into the Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreements pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their GMIN Shares at the GMIN Meeting in favour of the Arrangement and any other transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement.

Similarly, each of the directors and members of senior management of Reunion Gold, as well as La Mancha and two subsidiaries of, and a trust controlled by, Dundee Corporation, who in the aggregate own approximately 29% of the outstanding Reunion Gold Shares as at Reunion Gold Record Date, have entered into the GMIN Voting Support Agreements pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their Reunion Gold Shares and Reunion Gold Options at the Reunion Gold

Meeting in favour of the Arrangement and any other transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement.

Market for Securities None of the New GMIN Shares nor the Spinco Shares are listed on any stock exchange. It is expected that the Parties will apply to list the New GMIN Shares on the TSX, and the Spinco Shares on the TSX-V, with effect promptly following the Effective Date. Listing will be subject to New GMIN and Spinco fulfilling, respectively, all of the listing requirements of the TSX and the TSX-V. However, only the listing of the New GMIN Shares on the TSX is a mutual condition to the completion of the Arrangement.

The GMIN Shares are currently listed and posted for trading on the TSX under the symbol "GMIN" and quoted on the OTCQX under the symbol "GMINF". The Reunion Gold Shares are currently listed and posted for trading on the TSX-V under the symbol "RGD" and quoted on the OTCQX under the symbol "RGDFF". It is expected that the Shares will be delisted from all stock exchanges on which they are currently listed or quoted on the completion of the Arrangement.

See "The Arrangement Agreement – Canadian Securities Law Matters – Status Under Canadian Securities Laws" and "Risk Factors" in this Circular.

Procedure for Exchange of Shares and Options A Letter of Transmittal is being sent to Registered Shareholders with this Circular. From and after the Effective Time, certificates or DRS Advices formerly representing Shares shall represent only the right to receive New GMIN Shares and Spinco Shares, as applicable, to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to the Arrangement. In order to receive New GMIN Shares and Spinco Shares, as applicable, following the completion of the Arrangement, registered holders of Shares must deposit with the Depositary (at the addresses specified in the Letter of Transmittal) a duly executed Letter of Transmittal together with the certificate(s) or DRS Advice(s) representing the holder's Shares and such other documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require.

Non-Registered Shareholders holding Shares that are registered in the name of an Intermediary must contact that Intermediary for instructions and assistance in order to have their Shares delivered to the Depositary and to receive the New GMIN Shares.

Particular Procedure for Exchange of Reunion Gold Shares and Related Elections

Registered Shareholders of Reunion Gold Shares must deposit with the Depositary a duly executed Letter of Transmittal together with the certificate(s) or DRS Advice(s) representing Reunion Gold Shares held by such Registered Shareholders of Reunion Gold Shares and such other documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require to receive the New GMIN Shares and Spinco Shares they are entitled to pursuant to the Arrangement.

As part of the Arrangement, Reunion Gold will undertake a capital and business reorganization to, inter alia: (i) rename and redesignate the current Reunion Gold Shares as Reunion Gold Class A Shares and create a new class of an unlimited number of Reunion Gold Class B Shares, with such Reunion Gold Class A Shares and Reunion Gold Class B Shares having substantially equivalent terms attaching thereto; and (ii) implement the Reorganization Share Exchange through the issuance of Reunion Gold Class B Shares and Spinco Shares in exchange for Reunion Gold Class A Shares. However, Non-Resident Reunion Gold Shareholders may elect to opt out of the exchange of their Reunion Gold Class A Shares pursuant to the Reorganization Share Exchange and instead, receive Spinco Shares on the reduction of stated capital of the Reunion Gold Class A Shares.

Non-Resident Reunion Gold Shareholders who wish to elect out of the exchange of their Reunion Gold Class A Shares for Reunion Gold Class B Shares and Spinco Shares must make the appropriate selection in the Reunion Gold Letter of Transmittal in order to be treated as an Electing Reunion Gold Shareholder. To make an Opt-Out Election, the Non-Resident Reunion Gold Shareholder must deposit with the Depositary no later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on July 5, 2024, or if the Reunion Gold Meeting is adjourned or postponed, 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays in the provinces of Québec and Ontario) prior to the time set for the adjourned or postponed Reunion Gold Meeting, a duly completed Reunion Gold Letter of Transmittal together with the certificates and/or DRS Advices representing all Reunion Gold Shares held before the Effective Time, indicating the determination by such Non-Resident Reunion Gold Shareholder to make the Opt-Out Election.

See "The Arrangement – Letters of Transmittal and Procedure for Exchange of Shares and Related Elections" in this Circular for further details and "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations" in this Circular for tax considerations related to the Opt-Out Election.

GMIN Options and Reunion Gold Options

Holders of GMIN Options or Reunion Gold Options will not be required to complete and return a Letter of Transmittal or surrender the stock option agreements representing their GMIN Options or Reunion Gold Options, as applicable, in order to receive the Replacement Options or Replacement Spinco Options to which such holder is entitled under the Arrangement. On the Effective Date, the GMIN Options will be deemed cancelled and New GMIN will issue instruments representing the Replacement Options issued in exchange for the GMIN Options pursuant to the Arrangement. Similarly, on the Effective Date, the Reunion Gold Options will be deemed cancelled and New GMIN and Spinco will issue instruments representing the Replacement Options and Replacement Spinco Options, respectively, issued in exchange for the Reunion Gold Options pursuant to the Arrangement. Instruments representing Replacement Options or Replacement Spinco Options will be forwarded on to the address of the holders of GMIN Options or Reunion Gold Options, as applicable, as shown on the applicable register maintained by GMIN or Reunion Gold.

See "The Arrangement – Letters of Transmittal and Procedure for Exchange of Shares and Related Elections" and "The Arrangement – Procedures for Holders of GMIN Options and Reunion Gold Options" in this Circular.

Treatment of Other Convertible Securities

If the GMIN Arrangement Resolution Shareholder Approval and the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution Securityholder Approval is obtained, the Parties agree that, to the extent any GMIN DSUs, GMIN RSUs or GMIN Warrants are outstanding, each Party shall comply with, or cause New GMIN (or any successor thereto) to comply with, as applicable, the terms and provisions of the applicable GMIN Incentive Plan and Warrant Documentation, including the assumption by New GMIN of the obligations of New GMIN as a successor following the Effective

Time to each of the Parties pursuant to the terms of the applicable GMIN Incentive
Plan or the Warrant Documentation.
As the Effective Date will occur after the Reunion Gold Warrant Expiry Date, no
Reunion Gold Warrants are expected to be outstanding as of the Effective Date.
See "The Arrangement –
Details of the Arrangement – Treatment of Other
Convertible Securities" in this Circular.
Treatment of Fractional
Securities
Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, no fractional New GMIN Shares or fractional
Spinco Shares shall be issued to Former Shareholders. The number of New GMIN
Shares or Spinco Shares to be issued to Former Shareholders shall be rounded
down to the nearest whole New GMIN Share or Spinco Share in the event that a
Former Shareholder is entitled to a fractional share without any additional
compensation in lieu of such fractional share.
See "The Arrangement – Details of the Arrangement – Arrangement Steps" in this
Circular.
Business of New GMIN Following completion of the Arrangement, the business objectives of New GMIN
will continue to be those of the Parties, on a combined basis. The detailed
descriptions of the businesses of each of GMIN and Reunion Gold disclosed in the
GMIN AIF and the Reunion Gold AIF, respectively, which are incorporated by
reference herein, will apply to New GMIN upon completion of the Arrangement. See
"Information Concerning GMIN" and "Information Concerning Reunion Gold" in this
Circular, and Appendix J-1 – Information Concerning New GMIN", "Appendix H –
Information Concerning GMIN", and "Appendix I – Information Concerning Reunion
Gold" attached to this Circular.
Business of Spinco Spinco has not carried on any active business since its incorporation; however, it is
intended that Spinco will be engaged in the business of acquiring and exploring
gold mineral properties in Suriname and in Guyana outside of the Area of Interest,
other than the Excluded Zones.
Spinco has applied to have the Spinco Shares listed on the TSX-V. Listing is subject
to the approval of the TSX-V in accordance with its original listing requirements. As
of the date of this Circular, TSX-V has not conditionally approved the listing of the
Spinco Shares on the TSX-V and there is no assurance that the TSX-V will approve
the listing application. Listing of the Spinco Shares on the TSX-V or any other
exchange is not a condition to the completion of the Arrangement, if such approval
has not been obtained by the Effective Date.
See "Information Concerning Spinco" in this Circular and "Appendix K-1 –
Information Concerning Spinco" attached to this Circular for additional information
regarding Spinco.

Canadian Securities Laws
Matters
All Securityholders are urged to obtain legal advice to determine the
Canadian conditions and restrictions applicable to trades in the securities
issuable pursuant to the Arrangement.
Status Under Canadian Securities Laws
GMIN is a reporting issuer in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. The
GMIN Shares are currently listed and posted for trading on the TSX under the
symbol "GMIN" and quoted on the OTCQX under the symbol "GMINF". If the
Arrangement becomes effective and, as a result, GMIN becomes a wholly-owned
subsidiary of New GMIN, it is anticipated that the GMIN Shares will be delisted from
the TSX and cease to be quoted on the OTCQX and GMIN will apply to the
applicable Canadian Securities Authorities to have GMIN cease to be a reporting
issuer, in each case as of the Effective Date.

29

Reunion Gold is a reporting issuer in each of the provinces of Canada, except Québec. The Reunion Gold Shares are currently listed and posted for trading on the TSX-V under the symbol "RGD" and quoted on the OTCQX under the symbol "RGDFF". If the Arrangement becomes effective and, as a result, Reunion Gold becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of New GMIN, it is anticipated that the Reunion Gold Shares will be delisted from the TSX-V and cease to be quoted on the OTCQX and Reunion Gold will apply to the applicable Canadian Securities Authorities to have Reunion Gold cease to be a reporting issuer, in each case as of the Effective Date.

Neither New GMIN nor Spinco is currently a reporting issuer in any province or territory of Canada. It is expected that New GMIN and Spinco will each become a reporting issuer on the Effective Date. See "The Arrangement – Details of the Arrangement – Stock Exchange Approvals" in this Circular.

Distribution and Resale of New GMIN Shares and Spinco Shares under Canadian Securities Laws

The issuance of New GMIN Shares pursuant to the Arrangement will be made pursuant to exemptions from the prospectus requirements contained in applicable Canadian Securities Laws.

Under applicable Canadian Securities Laws, the New GMIN Shares issued pursuant to the Arrangement may be resold in Canada without hold period restrictions, provided that: (i) New GMIN is a reporting issuer in a jurisdiction of Canada for the four months immediately preceding the trade (pursuant to Section 2.9 of NI 45-102, upon completion of the Arrangement, New GMIN will be deemed for this purpose to have been a reporting issuer from the time that GMIN or Reunion Gold became a reporting issuer); (ii) the trade is not a "control distribution" as defined under NI 45-102; (iii) no unusual effort is made to prepare the market or to create a demand for the New GMIN Shares; (iv) no extraordinary commission or consideration is paid to a person in respect of such sale; and (v) if the selling securityholder is an "insider" or "officer" of New GMIN (as such terms are defined by applicable Canadian Securities Laws), the insider or officer has no reasonable grounds to believe that New GMIN is in default under applicable Canadian Securities Laws. In addition, unless otherwise exempted, existing hold periods on any Shares in effect prior to the Effective Date will be carried forward to the New GMIN Shares issued in exchange for such Shares pursuant to the Arrangement.

The issuance of Spinco Shares pursuant to the Arrangement will be made pursuant to exemptions from the prospectus requirements contained in applicable Canadian Securities Laws. Under applicable Canadian Securities Laws, the Spinco Shares issued pursuant to the Arrangement may be resold in Canada without hold period restrictions, provided that: (i) Spinco is a reporting issuer in a jurisdiction of Canada for the four months immediately preceding the trade (pursuant to Section 2.9 of NI 45-102, upon completion of the Arrangement, Spinco will be deemed for this purpose to have been a reporting issuer from the time that Reunion Gold became a reporting issuer); (ii) the trade is not a "control distribution" as defined under NI 45-102; (iii) no unusual effort is made to prepare the market or to create a demand for the Spinco Shares; (iv) no extraordinary commission or consideration is paid to a person in respect of such sale; and (v) if the selling securityholder is an "insider" or "officer" of Spinco (as such terms are defined by applicable Canadian Securities Laws), the insider or officer has no reasonable grounds to believe that Spinco is in default under applicable Canadian Securities Laws. In addition, unless otherwise exempted, existing hold periods on any Shares in effect prior to the Effective Date will be carried forward to the Spinco Shares issued in exchange for such Shares pursuant to the Arrangement.

MI 61-101 Determinations

GMIN

La Mancha beneficially owns, or exercises control or direction over, more than 10% of the issued and outstanding GMIN Shares (i.e., approximately 24.8%) and, as a result, is a related party of GMIN under MI 61-101. For this reason, the issuance of GMIN Shares to La Mancha in connection with the La Mancha Private Placement is considered a related party transaction for the purposes of MI 61-101.

GMIN is exempt from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 with respect to related party transactions in connection with the issuance of GMIN Shares to La Mancha under the La Mancha Private Placement as neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, such issuance of GMIN Shares exceeds 25% of GMIN's market capitalization as at the date of the La Mancha Subscription Agreement.

The GMIN Special Committee and the GMIN Board (with the Non-Participating Directors having recused themselves due to their conflict of interest) recognize that the issuance of GMIN Shares to La Mancha, a related party, pursuant to the La Mancha Private Placement may be considered a connected transaction to the Arrangement by the Canadian Securities Authorities. As such, and considering that the Arrangement may result in the interest of holders of equity securities of GMIN being terminated without their consent, the Arrangement would be considered a business combination and therefore subject to the minority shareholder approval requirements under MI 61-101, resulting in any GMIN Shares beneficially owned, or over which control or direction is exercised, by La Mancha or its related parties or joint actors being excluded from voting for purposes of determining whether such minority approval has been obtained. To the knowledge of GMIN and its directors and senior officers, after reasonable inquiry, 111,879,265 GMIN Shares will therefore be excluded for the purpose of the minority approval requirement. See "General Proxy Matters – GMIN – Voting Securities and Principal Holders Thereof" in this Circular.

Following disclosure by each of the directors and executive officers to the GMIN Special Committee of any benefit that each of the directors and executive officers may be entitled to receive as a consequence of the Arrangement, if applicable, as set forth under "The Arrangement – Interests of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon at the GMIN Meeting" in this Circular, GMIN has considered whether any of these matters may constitute a collateral benefit for purposes of MI 61-101 and determined that none of the directors and executive officers are entitled to a collateral benefit for the purposes of MI 61-101.

The directors and officers of GMIN may have interests in the Arrangement that are, or may be, different from, or in addition to, the interests of other GMIN Shareholders. The GMIN Special Committee and the GMIN Board (with the Non-Participating Directors having recused themselves due to their conflicts of interest) are aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, when recommending approval of the Arrangement by GMIN Shareholders. See "The Arrangement – Interests of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon at the GMIN Meeting" in this Circular.

GMIN is not subject to the formal valuation requirements under MI 61-101 with respect to business combinations because no interested party would, as a consequence of the Arrangement, directly or indirectly, acquire GMIN or the business of GMIN, or combine with GMIN through an amalgamation, arrangement or otherwise, whether alone or with joint actors, and the connected transaction causing the Arrangement to be considered a business combination, namely the La Mancha Private Placement, is itself exempted from the formal valuation requirements with respect to related party transactions under MI 61-101, as described above.

Reunion Gold

In connection with the Arrangement, outstanding Reunion Gold Options will be treated as set forth under "The Arrangement – Details of the Arrangement" in this Circular, and certain officers of Reunion Gold are entitled to certain rights upon and/or following a change in control as set forth under "The ArrangementInterests of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon at the Reunion Gold Meeting" in this Circular and Reunion Gold has considered whether any of these matters may constitute a collateral benefit for purposes of MI 61-101 such that the Arrangement would therefore constitute a business combination under MI 61-101. Following disclosure by each of the directors and executive officers to the Reunion Gold Special Committee of the number of Reunion Gold Shares held by them and the benefits or payments that they are expected to receive pursuant to the Arrangement, the Reunion Gold Special Committee has determined that the aforementioned benefits were not conferred for the purposes, in whole or in part, of increasing the value of the consideration paid to the related parties for their Reunion Gold Shares and are not conditional on the related parties supporting the Arrangement in any manner, and, with the exception of Mr. David A. Fennell, at the time of the entering into of the Arrangement Agreement, none of the related parties either exercised control or direction over, or beneficially owned, more than 1% of the Reunion Gold Shares, as calculated in accordance with MI 61-101. Mr. David A. Fennell may be considered to be receiving a "collateral benefit" as a result of the acceleration of his outstanding Reunion Gold Options and certain other benefits he is entitled to upon and/or following the change of control of Reunion Gold as set forth under "The ArrangementInterests of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon at the Reunion Gold Meeting – Change of Control Benefits" in this Circular, the aggregate value of which is greater than 5% of the value of the consideration that Mr. David A. Fennell will receive under the Arrangement in respect of the Reunion Gold Shares he beneficially owns.

Accordingly, the Arrangement is considered to be a business combination in respect of Reunion Gold and, as a result, minority approval of the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution is required. The Reunion Gold Shares held by Mr. David A. Fennell and his related parties and joint actors will be excluded for the purpose of determining if minority approval of the Arrangement is obtained. To the knowledge of Mr. David A. Fennell, Reunion Gold and its directors and senior officers, after reasonable inquiry, 64,438,511 Reunion Gold Common Shares will, therefore, be excluded for the purpose of the minority approval requirement.

Reunion Gold is not required to obtain a formal valuation under MI 61-101 as no "interested party" (as defined in MI 61-101) of Reunion Gold is, as a consequence of the Arrangement, directly or indirectly acquiring Reunion Gold or its business or combining with Reunion Gold through an amalgamation, arrangement or otherwise, whether alone or with joint actors and neither the Arrangement nor the transactions contemplated thereunder is a "related party transaction" (as defined in MI 61-101) for which Reunion Gold would be required to obtain a formal valuation.

Bona Fide Prior Offers and Prior Valuations

During the 24 months prior to the entering into of the Arrangement Agreement, except as disclosed herein, neither Party has received a bona fide prior offer related to the subject matter of the Arrangement or that is otherwise relevant to the Arrangement and, to the knowledge of the Parties, no "prior valuations" (as defined in MI 61-101) have been conducted with respect to either Party.

See "The Arrangement – Canadian Securities Law Matters" in this Circular.

U.S. Securities Laws All Securityholders in the United States are urged to obtain legal advice to ensure that the resale of securities complies with applicable U.S. Securities Laws and to determine the U.S. conditions and restrictions applicable to transfer of the New GMIN securities and Spinco securities issuable pursuant to the Arrangement.

Exemption from the Registration Requirements of the U.S. Securities Act

The New GMIN Shares and Spinco Shares to be issued to Reunion Gold Shareholders in exchange for their Reunion Gold Shares (including the Class A Reunion Gold Shares and Class B Reunion Gold Shares issued in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement), the New GMIN Shares to be issued to GMIN Shareholders in exchange for their GMIN Shares, the Replacement Options and Replacement Spinco Options to be issued to Reunion Gold Optionholders in exchange for their Reunion Gold Options (including Replacement Reunion Gold Options issued in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement), and the Replacement Options to be issued to holders of GMIN Options in exchange for their GMIN Options, all pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States, and will be issued in reliance upon the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption and similar exemptions provided under the Securities Laws of each state of the United States in which Securityholders reside. The Section 3(a)(10) Exemption exempts from registration the issuance of a security that is issued in exchange for one or more outstanding securities where the terms and conditions of such issuance and exchange are approved, after a hearing upon the fairness of such terms and conditions at which all persons to whom it is proposed to issue securities in such exchange have the right to appear and receive timely and adequate notice thereof, by a court or by a Governmental Entity expressly authorized by Law to grant such approval. Accordingly, the Final Order will, if granted, constitute a basis for the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption with respect to the New GMIN Shares, Spinco Shares, Replacement Options, and Replacement Spinco Options issued and exchanged in connection with the Plan of Arrangement. See "The Arrangement – Procedure for the Arrangement Becoming Effective – Court Approvals" in this Circular.

Resales of New GMIN Shares and Spinco Shares after the Effective Date

The manner in which a Shareholder may resell the New GMIN Shares and Spinco Shares (as applicable) received on completion of the Plan of Arrangement will depend on whether such holder is, at the time of such resale, an "affiliate" of New GMIN or Spinco, as applicable, after the Effective Date, or has been such an "affiliate" at any time within 90 days immediately preceding the Effective Date.

As defined in Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act, an "affiliate" of an issuer is a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, that issuer. Typically, persons who are executive officers, directors or 10% (or greater) shareholders of an issuer are considered to be its "affiliates", as well as any other person or group that actually controls the issuer.

Persons who are affiliates of New GMIN or Spinco, as applicable, after the Effective Date, or within 90 days immediately preceding the Effective Date may not sell their New GMIN Shares or Spinco Shares (as applicable) that they receive in connection with the Plan of Arrangement in the absence of registration under the U.S. Securities Act, unless an exemption or exclusion from such registration is available, such as the exemption provided by Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act or the exclusion provided by Rule 904 of Regulation S.

Issuance, Exercise and Resales of Replacement Options and Replacement Spinco Options

The issuance of the Replacement Options and Replacement Spinco Options to Reunion Gold Optionholders and the issuance of the Replacement Options to holders of GMIN Options (as applicable) will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States and will be issued in reliance upon the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption, and similar exemptions provided under the securities laws of each state of the United States in which such optionholders reside.

The Replacement Options and Replacement Spinco Options are not generally transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and may be exercised during the lifetime of the optionee only by the optionee pursuant to an exemption or exclusion from registration under the U.S. Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

The Section 3(a)(10) Exemption does not exempt the issuance of securities issued upon the exercise of securities that were previously issued pursuant to the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption. Therefore, the New GMIN Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Replacement Options following the Effective Date, and the Spinco Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Replacement Spinco Options following the Effective Date, may not be issued in reliance upon the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption and such options may be exercised only pursuant to an available exemption or exclusion from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

See "The Arrangement – U.S. Securities Law Matters" in this Circular.

Dissent Rights In connection with the Arrangement, Registered Shareholders may exercise Dissent Rights with respect to Shares held by them, pursuant to and in the manner set forth in Section 190 of the CBCA, as modified by the Interim Order and the Plan of Arrangement. Each Dissenting Shareholder who duly exercises its Dissent Rights in accordance with the terms of the Plan of Arrangement shall be deemed to have transferred all Shares held by such Dissenting Shareholder and in respect of which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised, to Reunion Gold and/or GMIN, as applicable, and will be entitled to be paid by the Payor the fair value of the Shares in respect of which Dissent Rights were validly exercised.

To exercise Dissent Rights, a Dissenting Shareholder must dissent with respect to all Shares of which he, she or it is the registered and beneficial owner. A Dissenting

Shareholder must deliver a Dissent Notice to GMIN or Reunion Gold, as applicable, as set forth below and such Dissent Notice must strictly comply with the requirements of Section 190 of the CBCA, as modified by the Interim Order and the Plan of Arrangement; provided that, notwithstanding Section 190(5) of the CBCA, a Dissenting Shareholder must ensure that such Dissent Notice is received, as applicable, either (i) in respect of GMIN Shareholders, by GMIN at GMIN's head office located at 5025 Boul. Lapinière, 10th Floor, Suite 1050, Brossard, Québec J4Z 0N5, Attention: Vice President, Legal Affairs and Corporate Secretary, email: [email protected], not later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on July 5, 2024 or, if the GMIN Meeting is adjourned or postponed, not later than 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays in the Provinces of Québec and Ontario) prior to the time set for the adjourned or postponed GMIN Meeting, or (ii) in respect of Reunion Gold Shareholders, by Reunion Gold at Reunion Gold's office located at 1111 St-Charles Street West, West Tower, Suite 101, Longueuil, Québec J4K 5G4, Attention: Corporate Secretary, email: [email protected], not later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on July 5, 2024 or, if the Reunion Gold Meeting is adjourned or postponed, not later than 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays in the Provinces of Québec and Ontario) prior to the time set for the adjourned or postponed Reunion Gold Meeting. Any failure by a Dissenting Shareholder to fully comply with the provisions of the CBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order, may result in the loss of that holder's Dissent Rights.

Non-Registered Shareholders who beneficially own, control and direct Shares who wish to exercise Dissent Rights should be aware that only the Registered Shareholders of such Shares are entitled to dissent. Accordingly, with respect to Shares beneficially owned by a Non-Registered Shareholder registered (a) in the name of an Intermediary, or (b) in the name of a depository or clearing agency of which the Intermediary is a participant, the Non-Registered Shareholder desiring to exercise Dissent Rights must make arrangements for the Shares beneficially owned by such holder to be registered in the name of the Non-Registered Shareholder prior to the time the Dissent Notice is required to be received by GMIN or Reunion Gold, as applicable, or, alternatively, make arrangements for the Registered Shareholder of such Shares to exercise Dissent Rights on behalf of the Non-Registered Shareholder.

It is a condition to the Parties' respective obligations to complete the Arrangement that GMIN Shareholders and Reunion Shareholders holding no more than 10% of the GMIN Shares and Reunion Gold Shares, respectively, shall have exercised Dissent Rights that have not been withdrawn as at the Effective Date.

The statutory provisions covering the right to dissent are technical and complex. A Dissenting Shareholder who intends to exercise Dissent Rights should carefully consider and comply with the provisions of the CBCA, as modified by the Interim Order and the Plan of Arrangement. Failure to adhere to the procedures established therein may result in the loss of all rights thereunder. Accordingly, each Dissenting Shareholder who might desire to exercise Dissent Rights should consult his, her or its own legal advisor.

See "The Arrangement – Dissent Rights" and "Summary of Material Agreements in Connection with the Arrangement – Arrangement Agreement – Conditions Precedent to the Consummation of the Arrangement Agreement" in this Circular.

Summary of Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

For a summary of certain material Canadian federal income Tax consequences of the Arrangement to certain Shareholders, see "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations" in this Circular. Such summary is not intended to be legal or Tax advice to any particular Shareholder.

Securityholders should consult their own Tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances and the income Tax consequences of the Arrangement to them, including the application and effect of the income and other Tax Laws of any country, province, state or local Tax authority.

Risk Factors Related to the Arrangement The risk factors related to the Arrangement listed below are an abbreviated list of risk factors summarized under "Risk Factors" in this Circular:

Failure to complete the Arrangement could negatively impact the market price of the Shares;
  • each Party has dedicated significant resources to pursuing the Arrangement and is restricted from taking specified actions while the Arrangement is pending and failure to complete the Arrangement could negatively impact each Party's business;
  • the Arrangement Agreement may be terminated by either Party in certain circumstances, which could result in significant costs and could negatively impact the market price of the Shares;
  • the Termination Fee, if applicable, may discourage third parties from attempting to acquire a Party;
  • because the market price of the Shares will fluctuate and the Consideration is fixed, there can be no certainty with respect to the market value of the New GMIN Shares that Shareholders will receive as Consideration under the Arrangement;
  • the relative trading price of the Shares prior to the Effective Date may be volatile;
  • the Parties may be the targets of Legal Proceedings, including securities class actions and derivative lawsuits, which may delay or prevent the Arrangement from being completed;
  • the Parties will incur substantial transaction fees and costs in connection with the Arrangement. If the Arrangement is not completed, the costs may be significant and could have a Material Adverse Effect;
  • the GMIN Board and the Reunion Gold Board considered financial projections prepared by each Parties' management in connection with the Arrangement. Actual performance of the Parties may differ materially from these projections;
  • there could be unknown or undisclosed risks or liabilities of a Party for which the other Party is not permitted to terminate the Arrangement Agreement;
  • uncertainty surrounding the Arrangement could adversely affect the Parties' retention of suppliers and personnel and could negatively impact future business and operations;

the Fairness Opinions do not reflect changes in circumstances that may have
occurred or that may occur between the date of the Arrangement Agreement
and the completion of the Arrangement;

the Parties' directors and senior officers may have interests in the Arrangement
that are different from those of the GMIN Shareholders and Reunion Gold
Voting Securityholders;

the Parties may be obligated to make substantial cash payments to Dissenting
Shareholders; and

Tax consequences of the Arrangement may differ from anticipated treatment.

A GMIN Shareholder may revoke his, her or its proxy by completing and executing another proxy bearing a later date and depositing such proxy with the Transfer Agent before the proxy deadline, or by depositing an instrument in writing expressly revoking such proxy executed by such GMIN Shareholder or his, her or its attorney authorized in writing either with the Transfer Agent by no later than the proxy deadline, or addressed to the Chair of the GMIN Meeting prior to the commencement of the GMIN Meeting on the day of the GMIN Meeting or any postponements or adjournments thereof.

The applicable accompanying form of proxy or voting instruction form must be executed by the GMIN Shareholder or his or her attorney authorized in writing, and if the GMIN Shareholder is a corporation, the applicable form of proxy or voting instruction form should be signed in its corporate name under its corporate seal (if applicable) by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized and whose title should be indicated. A proxy signed by a person acting as attorney or in some other representative capacity should reflect such person's capacity following his or her signature and should be accompanied by the appropriate instrument evidencing qualification and authority to act (unless such instrument has been previously filed with GMIN).

PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON AT GMIN MEETING

GMIN Arrangement Resolution

At the GMIN Meeting, GMIN Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought advisable, to approve, with or without variation, the GMIN Arrangement Resolution to approve the Arrangement under the CBCA pursuant to the terms of the

Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement. See "The Arrangement" and "Summary of Material Agreements in Connection with the Arrangement – Arrangement Agreement" in this Circular.

In addition, Sections 611(c) and 611(g) of the TSX Company Manual requires that the issuance of New GMIN Shares pursuant to the Arrangement and the GMIN Private Placements to persons other than the GMIN Shareholders (except for those participating in the GMIN Private Placements) be approved by GMIN Shareholders as the number of such New GMIN Shares so issuable exceeds 25% of the total number of GMIN Shares outstanding on a non-diluted basis before giving effect to such issuances.

At the GMIN Meeting, and as part of the GMIN Arrangement Resolution, GMIN Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to approve the issuance of an aggregate of up to 105,441,431 New GMIN Shares comprised of (i) up to 92,317,569 New GMIN Shares to be issued by New GMIN as payment for the acquisition of the outstanding Reunion Gold Shares held by Reunion Gold Shareholders (other than Reunion Gold Shareholders validly exercising Dissent Rights), (ii) up to 4,055,312 New GMIN Shares issuable on exercise of Replacement Options issued to Reunion Gold Optionholders, and (iii) subject to and conditional upon the GMIN Private Placements Resolution Shareholder Approval being obtained, up to 9,068,550 New GMIN Shares issuable in consideration of the GMIN Shares issued pursuant to the GMIN Private Placements. The 105,441,431 New GMIN Shares to be issued in connection with the Arrangement and the GMIN Private Placements represents approximately 93.5% of the issued and outstanding GMIN Shares before giving effect to such issuance, on a non-diluted basis and taking into account the GMIN Exchange Ratio. The TSX will generally not require further securityholder approval for the issuance of up to 24,093,220 additional New GMIN Shares as a result of any increase in the Consideration payable pursuant to the Arrangement, such number of additional New GMIN Shares representing 25% of the number of securities to be approved by GMIN Shareholders at the GMIN Meeting attributable to the Arrangement.

The GMIN Arrangement Resolution requires the GMIN Arrangement Resolution Shareholder Approval, being the affirmative vote of: (a) at least 662/3% of the votes cast by the GMIN Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the GMIN Meeting; (b) a majority of the votes cast by the GMIN Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the GMIN Meeting, excluding the votes attached to the GMIN Shares held by La Mancha and its related parties and joint actors in accordance with Section 8.1(2) of MI 61-101; and (c) pursuant to Sections 611(c) and 611(g) of the TSX Company Manual, a majority of the votes cast by the GMIN Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the GMIN Meeting.

Unless otherwise directed, it is management's intention to vote in favour of the GMIN Arrangement Resolution. If you return a signed proxy form or voting instruction form and do not specify how you want your GMIN Shares voted, the persons named as proxyholders will cast the votes represented by your proxy at the GMIN Meeting in favour of the GMIN Arrangement Resolution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the GMIN Arrangement Resolution authorizes the GMIN Board, without further notice to or approval of the GMIN Shareholders, to amend the Arrangement Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement, to the extent permitted by the Arrangement Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement, and, subject to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, to decide not to proceed with the Arrangement. The full text of the GMIN Arrangement Resolution is attached as "Appendix A – GMIN Arrangement Resolution" to this Circular.

GMIN Private Placements Resolution

At the GMIN Meeting, GMIN Shareholders will also be asked to consider and, if thought advisable, to approve, with or without variation, the GMIN Private Placements Resolution with respect to each of the GMIN Private Placements.

Under the terms of the Subscription Agreements, each of La Mancha and Franco-Nevada has agreed to, immediately prior to the Effective Time, subscribe for such number of GMIN Shares as is equal to, in the case of La Mancha, US\$25 million, which may be increased to US\$35 million in La Mancha's sole discretion, and, in the case of Franco-Nevada, US\$25 million. The price per GMIN Share to be issued pursuant to the GMIN Private Placements was established in accordance with the anti-dilution provisions set out in the La Mancha IRA, and is equal to (A) the five-day volume weighted average price of the GMIN Shares on the TSX calculated on the day preceding the announcement of the Arrangement (i.e., April 19, 2024), being \$2.279, multiplied by (B) the average daily exchange rate published by the Bank of Canada for converting Canadian dollars into U.S. dollars for the five trading days immediately prior to the date of announcement of the Arrangement. The five-day volume weighted average price of the GMIN Shares on the TSX on the day preceding the date of this Circular (i.e., June 6, 2024) was \$2.05.

Pursuant to Section 607(e) of the TSX Company Manual, the price per listed security for any private placement must not be lower than the Market Price (as such term is defined in the TSX Company Manual) less the maximum allowable applicable discount. Since the Subscription Price was determined with reference to the trading price of the GMIN Shares prior to the public announcement of the Arrangement, the Subscription Price is deemed by the TSX to be less than the Market Price less the maximum allowable applicable discount, and must therefore be approved by GMIN Shareholders other than GMIN Shareholders participating directly or indirectly in the GMIN Private Placements and such security holders' associates and affiliates. Given this requirement, GMIN and each of La Mancha and Franco-Nevada have agreed to proceed with the GMIN Private Placements at a subscription price of \$2.279 per GMIN Share, subject to receiving the GMIN Private Placements Resolution Shareholder Approval.

The GMIN Private Placements Resolution requires the GMIN Private Placements Resolution Shareholder Approval, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the GMIN Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the GMIN Meeting, excluding the votes attached to the GMIN Shares held by La Mancha and Franco-Nevada and their associates and affiliates, pursuant to Section 607(e) of the TSX Company Manual.

The full text of the GMIN Private Placements Resolution is set out under the heading "GMIN Private Placements – Approval of GMIN Private Placements" in this Circular. For additional details, see "GMIN Private Placements" in this Circular.

Unless otherwise directed, it is management's intention to vote in favour of the GMIN Private Placements Resolution. If you return a signed proxy form or voting instruction form and do not specify how you want your GMIN Shares voted, the persons named as proxyholders will cast the votes represented by your proxy at the GMIN Meeting in favour of the GMIN Private Placements Resolution.

GMIN Annual Resolutions

At the GMIN Meeting, GMIN Shareholders will also be asked to consider and, if thought advisable, to approve each of the GMIN Annual Resolutions, which are resolutions to:

    1. elect the directors of GMIN for the ensuing year;
    1. appoint PwC as the independent auditors of GMIN and to authorize the directors to fix the auditors' compensation; and
    1. consider and, if deemed advisable, approve an ordinary resolution ratifying and confirming certain amendments to the by-laws of GMIN (collectively, the "GMIN Annual Resolutions").

The GMIN Annual Resolutions require the GMIN Annual Resolutions Shareholder Approval, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on each of the GMIN Annual Resolutions by the GMIN Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the GMIN Meeting.

Unless otherwise directed, it is management's intention to vote in favour of each of the GMIN Annual Resolutions. If you return a signed proxy form or voting instruction form and do not specify how you want your GMIN Shares voted, the persons named as proxyholders will cast the votes represented by your proxy at the GMIN Meeting in favour of each of the GMIN Annual Resolutions.

See "Appendix M-1 – GMIN Annual General Meeting" attached to this Circular for additional information regarding the GMIN Annual Resolutions.

The GMIN Annual Financial Statements will be presented at the GMIN Meeting but will not be subject to a vote. The GMIN Annual Financial Statements and the GMIN Annual MD&A have been filed under GMIN's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca and are each incorporated by reference herein.

THE ARRANGEMENT

Background to the Arrangement – GMIN

The Arrangement Agreement is the result of Arm's Length negotiations between GMIN and Reunion Gold and their respective representatives. The following is a summary of the material events, negotiations, discussions and actions leading up to the execution of the Arrangement Agreement and its public announcement on April 22, 2024. Between the first discussions regarding a potential business combination transaction with Reunion Gold and execution of the Arrangement Agreement, there were seven GMIN Board meetings and nine GMIN Special Committee meetings held regarding the potential transaction, with management and financial and legal advisors present, as appropriate.

GMIN's senior management team regularly engages with industry peers and reviews potential acquisitions and combinations to advance its overall corporate strategy of becoming a leading Americas-focused gold producer with more than 500,000 ounces of annual gold production from top tier operations located in mining-friendly jurisdictions. GMIN's review focuses on strategic transactions with the ability to leverage GMIN's core strengths, including its outstanding mine building capabilities and expertise in permitting and de-risking mining projects.

In the context of this review, the management of GMIN identified the Oko West Project as an ideal fit for GMIN's growth strategy and criteria, being of the view that the Oko West Project is one of the higher quality gold deposits globally that could support a large, long-life mine complex and is naturally sequenced to benefit from the TZ Project's robust free cash flow to minimize equity dilution during the development of the Oko West Project. GMIN's management team was also of the view that it is ideally positioned to unlock the value of the Oko West Project, by leveraging GMIN systems, equipment, expertise and the team from the on-going successful development of the TZ Project. As well, the Oko West Project is located in Guyana, within the Guiana Shield, where the GMIN team and the Gignac family have a proven track record of executing significant projects and engaging with local and government stakeholders to accelerate project development timelines.

As a result, on April 5, 2023, Reunion Gold and GMIN entered into a confidentiality agreement with respect to information regarding Reunion Gold, and GMIN began its due diligence review of Reunion Gold.

In July 2023, management of GMIN contacted Reunion Gold and suggested a meeting between their respective teams to discuss a potential business combination transaction involving the companies.

On July 26, 2023, GMIN and Reunion Gold entered into the Confidentiality Agreement to facilitate the Parties' mutual due diligence reviews and further discussions.

By August 2023, GMIN's management had completed a preliminary financial and technical review of Reunion Gold and the Oko West Project, including, with the assistance of RBC, who was engaged to assist GMIN in evaluating a potential transaction with Reunion Gold, an assessment of a potential business combination of the Parties.

On August 8, 2023, representatives from management of Reunion Gold and GMIN met and GMIN presented its vision for a business combination transaction between the Parties, although GMIN did not propose or discuss any specific terms or make any specific proposals. Reunion Gold indicated to GMIN that while it was open to engaging in discussions regarding a potential transaction, Reunion Gold was not yet in a position to form an internal view on the potential value of Reunion Gold or the Oko West Project. The Parties communicated their willingness to continue discussions at a later date, and GMIN confirmed that it would provide Reunion Gold and its advisors access to certain due diligence information regarding GMIN and the TZ Project.

On August 28, 2023, the GMIN Board received an update from management on the status of due diligence and discussions of a potential combination with Reunion Gold. During the August 28, 2023 meeting, and given his position as the Executive Chair of Reunion Gold, Mr. David A. Fennell declared his conflict of interest with respect to a potential transaction with Reunion Gold and recused himself from the session of that meeting during which that potential transaction was reviewed and discussed. Mr. Louis Gignac Sr. also recused himself in the same fashion, out of an abundance of caution to not put himself, being a director of GMS, in a position where he could have conveyed confidential information that he was privy to through the work of GMS for Reunion Gold. Messrs. Fennell and Gignac Sr. also expressed their intention to recuse themselves from all parts of subsequent GMIN Board meetings during which the potential transaction with Reunion Gold was to be reviewed and discussed. Mr. Gignac Sr. nevertheless participated in discussions regarding the Arrangement during the meetings of the GMIN Board held on April 15 and 21, 2024, after it was established by the GMIN Board that (i) the due diligence review had been completed and management had been provided by Reunion Gold with all material information about the Oko West Project, and (ii) management had formed its own detailed views about the envisaged transaction and was explicitly not looking for Mr. Gignac Sr. to participate in a discussion around due diligence and technical perspectives for the Oko West Project.

Throughout the remainder of 2023, GMIN continued to provide and analyze financial and technical data and evaluate the prospects of a business combination with Reunion Gold. During the week of October 2, 2023, representatives of GMIN and certain of its due diligence advisors completed a site visit of the Oko West Project.

On December 1, 2023, Reunion Gold communicated to GMIN that the Reunion Gold Board and management were prepared to pursue further discussions with respect to a potential business combination transaction.

After receiving an update from senior management of GMIN, on December 21, 2023, the GMIN Board formed the GMIN Special Committee, comprised of Jason Neal (as Chair), Elif Levesque, Norman Macdonald and Carlos Vilhena, each an independent director of GMIN, to review and consider a potential transaction with Reunion Gold. The GMIN Special Committee was provided with a broad mandate by the GMIN Board, which included responsibility for reviewing and supervising negotiations to be carried out by GMIN and its professional advisors. The mandate also included considering, reviewing and making recommendations to the GMIN Board, through consultation with management of GMIN and any professional advisors deemed necessary or advisable, in respect of the proposed transaction with Reunion Gold and the recommendation to be made by the GMIN Board to GMIN Shareholders.

On January 16, 2024, the GMIN Special Committee was provided with an update from management on the status of due diligence and discussions with Reunion Gold. At this meeting, RBC provided the GMIN Special Committee with a presentation regarding the potential business combination between the Parties.

From January 17 to 19, 2024, representatives of Reunion Gold and certain of its due diligence advisors completed a site visit of the TZ Project.

On January 25, 2024, GMIN submitted an initial non-binding proposal (the "Initial Proposal") for the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Reunion Gold for consideration consisting of 0.225 of a GMIN Share per Reunion Gold Share, plus an interest in Spinco. Under the Initial Proposal, Reunion Gold Shareholders would own approximately 37.8% of the combined company on a non-diluted basis and 80.1% of Spinco, which would hold all of Reunion Gold's exploration properties, excluding the Oko West Project and a "surrounding buffer" area, and be capitalized with \$15 million in cash. In addition, GMIN requested a period of reciprocal exclusivity until February 29, 2024. The Initial Proposal also contemplated that La Mancha would provide a significant equity investment in the combined company.

On January 29, 2024, representatives of BMO Capital Markets communicated to representatives of RBC that the Reunion Gold Special Committee determined the consideration offered by GMIN in the Initial Proposal was inadequate. Reunion Gold provided GMIN with its financial model for the Oko West Project to help frame additional areas of value for GMIN's consideration.

In early February 2024, a number of additional discussions occurred between GMIN, Reunion Gold, and their respective advisors regarding the terms of a potential transaction.

On February 8, 2024, the GMIN Special Committee met to receive updates on the status of negotiations with Reunion Gold and to receive advice from its financial and legal advisors. During the meeting, RBC provided the GMIN Special Committee with an assessment of the potential alternatives available for GMIN with a view to concluding a transaction with Reunion Gold.

On February 12, 2024, GMIN submitted a revised proposal (the "Second Proposal"), with the only significant change being an increase to the share exchange ratio to 0.250 of a GMIN Share per Reunion Gold Share, representing approximately an 11% increase from the 0.225 of a GMIN Share per Reunion Gold Share exchange ratio in the Initial Proposal. The Second Proposal again requested a period of reciprocal exclusivity until March 18, 2024. The Second Proposal also requested a voting support agreement from Dundee Corporation, Reunion Gold's largest shareholder, in addition to Reunion Gold's directors and officers.

On February 15, 2024, Reunion Gold delivered a proposal (the "Counterproposal") to GMIN for a business combination transaction that would make the following key changes to the Second Proposal: (i) increasing the exchange ratio to 0.280 of a GMIN Share per Reunion Gold Share; (ii) adding additional consideration in the form of warrants to purchase GMIN Shares that would represent approximately \$0.03 of additional consideration per Reunion Gold Share payable to Reunion Gold Shareholders; and (iii) specifying that Spinco would hold all of Reunion Gold's interests in mineral projects, with the exception of the Oko West Project (plus the "surrounding buffer" area), including any interests in mineral projects that are acquired by Reunion Gold between the date of the Counterproposal and the closing date of a business combination transaction, and increasing the cash capitalizing Spinco to \$20 million. The Counterproposal offered a reciprocal exclusivity period until March 4, 2024.

On February 16, 2024, the GMIN Special Committee met to receive updates on the status of negotiations with Reunion Gold and to receive advice from its financial and legal advisors. During the meeting, RBC provided the GMIN Special Committee with an assessment of the Counterproposal. At that meeting, discontinuing discussions with Reunion Gold was considered.

On February 19, 2024, Messrs. Louis-Pierre Gignac and Dušan Petković met with Messrs. Richard Howes and Pierre Chenard of Reunion Gold to discuss the Counterproposal and exchange views on both Parties' respective positions on the outstanding commercial issues. During the meeting, Mr. Gignac advised of GMIN's intent to halt the on-going business combination discussions and he encouraged the Parties to continue to assess opportunities to re-engage in the future, as and if appropriate.

Between February 25, 2024 and March 18, 2024, various discussions took place between representatives of GMIN and RBC, on the one hand, and representatives of Reunion Gold and BMO Capital Markets, on the other hand, regarding a continuation of negotiations. None of those discussions resulted in GMIN or Reunion Gold adjusting the terms of either the Second Proposal or the Counterproposal, respectively.

On March 18, 2024, Mr. Gignac contacted Mr. Chenard, Chair of the Reunion Gold Special Committee, to request that Reunion Gold and GMIN meet in-person to consider and attempt to settle the key commercial terms for a potential business combination transaction involving the Parties. Mr. Gignac informed Mr. Chenard that GMIN was, however, only prepared to meet on the condition that Reunion Gold agree to a three-week period of reciprocal exclusivity that would commence ahead of the meeting and allow for sufficient time to advance negotiation of definitive agreements following the meeting.

Between March 20 and March 28, 2024, representatives of GMIN and Reunion Gold exchanged drafts of a reciprocal exclusivity agreement, with the representatives of Reunion Gold advising GMIN that the Reunion Gold Special Committee and Reunion Gold Board would consider whether to enter into any period of reciprocal exclusivity after the terms were settled. During this period, the Parties also made arrangements for potential in-person meetings from April 3 to April 5, 2024, with GMIN continuing to express that those meetings were conditional on entering into an exclusivity agreement prior to the meetings.

On March 27, 2024, Blakes, legal counsel to GMIN, provided an initial draft of the arrangement agreement and form of voting support agreement to Stikeman Elliott.

On March 29, 2024, Reunion Gold and GMIN entered into an exclusivity agreement, providing for a period of reciprocal exclusivity through April 12, 2024.

On April 2, 2024, the GMIN Special Committee met to receive updates on the status of negotiations with Reunion Gold ahead of the planned in-person negotiations.

From April 3 to April 5, 2024, representatives of Reunion Gold, GMIN and their respective financial advisors held in-person meetings to discuss the key terms of a potential transaction and, following extensive discussions, GMIN presented an improved proposal (the "Third Proposal") for a transaction between the Parties, increasing the proposed exchange ratio to 0.270 of a GMIN Share for each Reunion Gold Share (an 8% increase to the Second Proposal and a 20% increase to the Initial Proposal), and with a reciprocal termination fee payable by the Parties under certain circumstances equal to 4% of Reunion Gold's transaction equity value. On April 5, 2024, GMIN's senior management updated the GMIN Special Committee with regards to the details of the Third Proposal.

Between April 5, 2024 and April 22, 2024, the Parties and their representatives negotiated the Arrangement Agreement, the GMIN Voting Support Agreements, the Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreements and other ancillary documentation. During this period, the GMIN Special Committee held three formal meetings and its Chairman had several discussions with senior management to oversee the conduct of negotiations and to provide guidance to GMIN's representatives.

On April 7, 2024, Cormark was engaged as a second independent financial advisor to provide the Cormark Fairness Opinion to the GMIN Special Committee on a fixed-fee basis based on, among other things, Cormark's qualifications and experience, as well as its familiarity with GMIN and its business.

On the morning of April 8, 2024, in light of the pending expiry of the reciprocal exclusivity period on April 12, 2024, and the remaining work required on the definitive agreements and other workstreams, GMIN requested that Reunion Gold agree to an extension of the period of reciprocal exclusivity though April 22, 2024.

On April 9, 2024, Mr. Chenard informed Mr. Gignac that Reunion Gold had received a proposal from another party and that, while Reunion Gold and its advisors were prepared to continue to advance the definitive agreements and other workstreams with GMIN and their advisors, the Reunion Gold Special Committee would not agree to extend exclusivity at this time and, following the scheduled expiration of exclusivity, intended to engage in discussions with both GMIN and this other party in parallel.

On April 13, 2024, GMIN's senior management updated the GMIN Special Committee with regards to the progress of negotiation and finalization of material outstanding terms in respect of the Arrangement Agreement and the Spinco IRA between GMIN and Reunion Gold and their respective advisors.

On the morning of April 15, 2024, in light of the proposals that Reunion Gold had received from the other party, GMIN's senior management met with the GMIN Board and had a discussion to determine the key terms of an updated proposal to be made by GMIN. Following the meeting, GMIN delivered its "best and final" proposal (the "Fourth Proposal") for a transaction with Reunion Gold. The Fourth Proposal increased the exchange ratio to 0.285 of a GMIN Share for each Reunion Gold Share, representing an approximately 5.6% increase to the Third Proposal and an approximately 26.7% increase to the Initial Proposal, requested an increase to the reciprocal termination fee payable by either Party under certain circumstances to \$40 million and requested a period of reciprocal exclusivity to finalize the definitive agreements through April 22, 2024. The Fourth Proposal was conditional on finalizing the definitive agreements and on Reunion Gold entering into the mineral agreement with the Government of Guyana on acceptable terms but otherwise was not conditional on any further due diligence, and requested Reunion Gold's response by the end of that day.

Later on April 15, 2024, representatives of Reunion Gold informed GMIN that Reunion Gold was prepared to enter into a period of reciprocal exclusivity with GMIN through April 22, 2024, provided that GMIN agree to drop its request for an increase in the reciprocal termination fee. GMIN agreed to drop its request to increase the reciprocal termination fee and, on the evening of April 15, 2024, Reunion Gold and GMIN entered into a new exclusivity agreement, providing for a period of reciprocal exclusivity through April 22, 2024.

During the negotiations with Reunion Gold, GMIN proposed a transaction structure whereby a holding company, New GMIN, would be created to hold all interests in both Parties. The Parties agreed to this structure and both the GMIN Exchange Ratio and Reunion Gold Exchange Ratio were adjusted accordingly.

On April 18, 2024, Reunion Gold announced that it had signed a mineral agreement with the Cooperative Republic of Guyana and the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission, which addressed the key remaining condition to the Fourth Proposal from GMIN other than finalizing the definitive agreements.

On April 19, 2024, GMIN agreed to lower the reciprocal termination fee payable by either party if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances to 3.5% of Reunion Gold's transaction equity value (from 4%).

On April 21, 2024, the GMIN Special Committee met to review and consider the final terms of the Arrangement and of the GMIN Private Placements. The GMIN Special Committee received the oral fairness opinion of RBC, which was subsequently confirmed by delivery of the written RBC Fairness Opinion, that, as of April 21, 2024, and based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth therein, the Consideration to be received by the GMIN Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement was fair, from a financial point of view, to the GMIN Shareholders. The GMIN Special Committee also received the oral fairness opinion of Cormark, which was subsequently confirmed by delivery of the written Cormark Fairness Opinion, that, as of April 21, 2024, and based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth therein, the Consideration to be received by the GMIN Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement was fair, from a financial point of view, to the GMIN Shareholders. The RBC Fairness Opinion and the Cormark Fairness Opinion were among a number of factors taken into consideration by the GMIN Special Committee in evaluating the Arrangement. Blakes, with the GMIN Special Committee, reviewed the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and ancillary agreements, including the Subscription Agreements. After careful consideration, including a thorough review of the transaction terms, the RBC Fairness Opinion, the Cormark Fairness Opinion, and other relevant matters, including the interests of all relevant stakeholders and those noted under the heading "The Arrangement – Reasons for Recommendation of the GMIN Special Committee and the GMIN Board" in this Circular, the GMIN Special Committee unanimously concluded that the Arrangement and the GMIN Private Placements, together with the entering into of the Arrangement Agreement and the Subscription Agreements were in the best interests of GMIN and should be approved. Accordingly, the GMIN Special Committee recommended to the GMIN Board that the GMIN Board approve the Arrangement and the GMIN Private Placements and the entering into of the Arrangement Agreement and the Subscription Agreements, and recommend that the GMIN Shareholders vote in favour of the GMIN Arrangement Resolution.

Immediately following the meeting of the GMIN Special Committee, the GMIN Board met to receive the report of the GMIN Special Committee and to receive advice from its legal and financial advisors. RBC and Cormark each presented their oral fairness opinion that, as of April 21, 2024, and based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth therein, respectively, the Consideration to be received by the GMIN Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement was fair, from a financial point of view, to the GMIN Shareholders. The Chair of the GMIN Special Committee summarized Blakes' review of the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and ancillary agreements, including the Subscription Agreements. Based on (i) the advice of GMIN's legal and financial advisors as conveyed by the Chair of the GMIN Special Committee, (ii) the unanimous recommendation of the GMIN Special Committee, and (iii) the GMIN Board's own assessment of the Arrangement and the interests of the GMIN Shareholders and of all other relevant stakeholders, and other relevant matters including those noted under the heading "The Arrangement – Reasons for Recommendation of the GMIN Special Committee and the GMIN Board" in this Circular, the GMIN Board (with the exception of Mr. David A. Fennell who did not participate in that GMIN Board meeting and of Mr. Karim Nasr who recused himself in respect of the GMIN Private Placements due to his role as an executive officer of La Mancha) unanimously resolved: to accept the recommendation of the GMIN Special Committee; to declare that the Arrangement and the GMIN Private Placements are in the best interests of GMIN; to authorize GMIN to enter into the Arrangement Agreement and the Subscription Agreements; and to recommend that GMIN Shareholders vote in favour of the GMIN Arrangement Resolution.

Throughout the evening of April 21, 2024 and the early morning hours of April 22, 2024, GMIN, Reunion Gold and their respective representatives finalized the Arrangement Agreement and the related documents and press release. The Arrangement Agreement, the GMIN Voting Support Agreements, the Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreements and the Subscription Agreements were executed the morning of April 22, 2024 and, prior to opening of trading on the TSX and the TSX-V that morning, Reunion Gold and GMIN issued a joint press release announcing their entering into the Arrangement Agreement and the GMIN Private Placements.

Background to the Arrangement – Reunion Gold

The Arrangement Agreement is the result of Arm's Length negotiations between Reunion Gold and GMIN and their respective representatives. The following is a summary of the material events, negotiations, discussions and actions leading up to the execution of the Arrangement Agreement and its public announcement on April 22, 2024. Between the first discussions regarding a potential business combination transaction with GMIN and the execution of the Arrangement Agreement, there were more than a dozen Reunion Gold Board and Reunion Gold Special Committee meetings held regarding the potential transaction, with management and financial and legal advisors present, as appropriate.

Oko West Project Development

Reunion Gold was amalgamated under the CBCA on April 1, 2004 under the name New Sleeper Gold Corporation – Corporation Aurifère New Sleeper. On June 2, 2006, following the disposition of all of its interests in mineral exploration projects in the U.S., New Sleeper Gold Corporation changed its name to "Reunion Gold Corporation" and redirected its exploration activities and efforts to mineral properties in the Guiana Shield of South America and, more particularly, in Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana.

In August 2018, Reunion Gold entered into an option agreement with a local titleholder to acquire an interest in mineral rights covering an area of 9,425 acres. Another option agreement was entered into in 2020 adding 1,463 acres of mineral rights which, combined with the first agreement, cover what is now known as the Oko West Project (which is defined as the Oko West Project in this Circular). The Oko West Project was initially included in the February 3, 2019, Strategic Alliance Agreement (the "SAA") between Reunion Gold and Barrick but on January 30, 2020, following a review of exploration results regarding a group of mineral projects in Guyana including the Oko West Project, Barrick elected to exclude these projects from the SAA.

In the first quarter of 2020, Reunion Gold initiated a trenching program at the Oko West Project, and a drilling program started in December 2020. From 2020 through 2022, Reunion Gold continued its exploration work and drilling programs, providing periodic updates to the public regarding significant assay results and the identification of additional priority exploration targets, and completing additional equity financings to support its exploration expenditures, as Reunion Gold continued to delineate grade and length of gold mineralization at mineralized intersections.

In September 2022, the titleholders relinquished their mineral rights and the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission issued a prospecting license (the "Prospecting License") to Reunion Gold's Guyanese subsidiary, an important step in advancing the Oko West Project. Following the issuance of the Prospecting License, Reunion Gold filed an application to conclude an investment agreement with the Government of Guyana, allowing the duty-free importation of capital items required for the advancement of the Oko West Project. The investment agreement between the Government of Guyana and Reunion Gold's Guyanese subsidiary was approved in February 2023.

In the first quarter of 2023, Reunion Gold engaged GMS (i) to prepare a maiden Mineral Resource estimate and an independent technical report relating to the Oko West Project, and (ii) to provide engineering and project development services for the Oko West Project. The services to be provided by GMS included a preliminary economic assessment (the "PEA") of the Oko West Project, which was initially targeted to be completed by year-end 2023. After having received strong results from Reunion Gold's deep drilling program in late 2023, Reunion Gold decided to delay the PEA until the end of the second quarter of 2024, so as to allow Reunion Gold to incorporate an underground Mineral Resource into the PEA and confirm potential for a combined open pit and underground mining operation.

In February 2023, Reunion Gold exercised its options to acquire a 100% interest in the Oko West Project pursuant to the terms of the option agreements following the satisfaction of all conditions thereto. As a result of such acquisition, Reunion Gold became the 100% registered and beneficial owner of the Oko West Project.

On June 13, 2023, Reunion Gold announced the release of the maiden Mineral Resource estimate for the Oko West Project comprised of 2.475 million ounces of gold in Indicated Mineral Resources contained within 41.789 million tonnes grading 1.84 g/t, and 1.762 million ounces of gold in Inferred Mineral Resources contained within 27.129 million tonnes grading 2.02 g/t Au. On July 14, 2023, Reunion Gold filed on SEDAR+ an independent technical report prepared by GMS in support of its Mineral Resource estimate announcement.

As Reunion Gold advanced the development of the Oko West Project from 2022 to 2024, Reunion Gold expanded its management team with the appointment of Mr. Richard Howes as President and CEO, Mr. Keith Boyle as Chief Operating Officer and Mr. Justin van der Toorn as Vice President, Exploration, and the additions of Mr. Pierre Chenard and Mr. Fred Stanford to the Reunion Gold Board.

Strategic Alternatives

Over the past few years, as exploration and development activities have continued at the Oko West Project, the Reunion Gold Board and management have regularly reviewed Reunion Gold's long-term strategic plans and prospects with the goal of maximizing shareholder value, taking the interests of Reunion Gold's other stakeholders into account. As part of these reviews, management and the Reunion Gold Board evaluated Reunion Gold's assets, exploration and development activities and potential financing alternatives to bring the Oko West Project into production, as well as potential M&A transactions and other value enhancing initiatives.

Management and the Reunion Gold Board identified a number of risks to Reunion Gold in attempting to develop the Oko West Project to production, including, among others: (i) that all of Reunion Gold's projects are in the exploration stage and that substantial capital requirements and exploration expenditures would be required to continue to identify Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from Mineral Resources, and to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining; (ii) that there was no guarantee Reunion Gold would be able to obtain the required financing to develop the Oko West Project to production or, if obtained, that such financing would be on terms favourable to Reunion Gold; (iii) that the requirement for additional financing would lead to related financial risk tied to liquidity, interest rate, currency and credit risk, as well as the potential to result in significant dilution to existing shareholders; (iv) that Reunion Gold did not have any experience in successfully developing a project to production or that if it were to successfully establish operations, that unexpected delays or costs could occur which could have a material adverse effect on Reunion Gold's financial condition; and (v) that even if Reunion Gold was able to successfully bring the Oko West Project to production, it would continue to have only a single producing mine located in a foreign jurisdiction, and would continue to be subject to the associated risks of being a company with a single producing

asset, which may or may not be profitable, and the various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties associated with the Oko West Project, including its host country.

In light of the risks identified by management and the Reunion Gold Board, and in the ordinary course of business, Reunion Gold management had periodic engagements with several industry parties for the purposes of seeking opportunities for collaboration, joint business development opportunities, acquisitions and the evaluation of more transformational strategic alternatives, including the potential for corporate-level combinations. In March 2023, Reunion Gold retained BMO Capital Markets as its financial advisor based on BMO Capital Markets' qualifications, expertise, experience, and familiarity with Reunion Gold, which engagement was subsequently confirmed the BMO Capital Markets Engagement Letter. With BMO Capital Markets' assistance, Reunion Gold continued its interaction with several Canadian and international industry participants regarding various potential transactions, including industry participants of a sufficient scale to be potential acquirors of Reunion Gold, and entered into confidentiality agreements with several parties to facilitate discussions regarding potential strategic transactions. Parties that entered into confidentiality agreements were provided data room access with up-to-date technical information related to the Oko West Project, including the drill hole database, resource model, and block model, and were offered a site visit and access to key management personnel.

On April 5, 2023, Reunion Gold and GMIN entered into a confidentiality agreement with respect to information regarding Reunion Gold, and GMIN began its due diligence review of Reunion Gold. While members of the Gignac family are significant shareholders, directors and executive officers of both GMIN and GMS, the latter of which has provided and continues to provide Reunion Gold with a variety of services in relation to the Oko West Project as described above, GMIN and GMS operate at Arm's Length. The business relationship between GMS and GMIN is governed through (i) GMIN's Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, (ii) formal guidelines adopted by the GMIN Board regarding that relationship which require, among other things, the GMIN A&R Committee (comprised of independent directors only) to oversee all matters relating to the business relationship of GMS and GMIN to address any potential conflicts of interest and related risks arising therefrom, and (iii) the GMIN MSA, which includes provisions for proper governance with respect to related party transactions between such parties.

In July 2023, management of GMIN contacted Reunion Gold and suggested a meeting between their respective teams to discuss a potential business combination transaction involving both companies.

On July 26, 2023, Reunion Gold and GMIN entered into the Confidentiality Agreement to facilitate the Parties' mutual due diligence reviews and further discussions.

On August 8, 2023, representatives from management of Reunion Gold and GMIN met and GMIN presented its vision for a business combination transaction between the two companies, although GMIN did not propose or discuss any specific terms or make any specific proposals. Reunion Gold indicated to GMIN that, while it was open to engaging in constructive discussions regarding a potential transaction, it was not yet in a position to form an internal view on the potential value of Reunion Gold or the Oko West Project. The Parties communicated their willingness to continue discussions at a later date, and GMIN confirmed that it would provide Reunion Gold and its advisors access to certain due diligence information regarding GMIN and the TZ Project.

On September 18, 2023, Reunion Gold announced that it had entered into an underwritten bought deal financing. On September 26, 2023, the financing was completed for gross proceeds of approximately \$70 million, which included a \$47 million investment from La Mancha, which amounted to La Mancha owning approximately 8.6% of the outstanding Reunion Gold Shares on a fully-diluted basis.

During the week of October 2, 2023, representatives of GMIN and certain of its due diligence advisors completed a site visit of the Oko West Project.

During the week of October 30, 2023, representatives of a global senior gold producer ("Party A"), completed a site visit to the Oko West Project.

On November 27 and 28, 2023, the Reunion Gold Board held a two-day meeting, with the Non-Participating Director, who was (and still is) also a director of GMIN, having recused himself for the relevant portions of the meeting where the Reunion Gold Board received presentations from BMO Capital Markets and SCP regarding their preliminary financial analysis of Reunion Gold and the Oko West Project and having recused himself from the portions of all subsequent meetings where

there was a discussion of a potential business combination transaction with GMIN or other available strategic alternatives, a preliminary assessment of the value that could be realized by Reunion Gold continuing as a standalone entity under various scenarios, risks facing Reunion Gold in executing on its standalone strategy, the potential value of a business combination transaction with GMIN, and potential strategic alternatives to a business combination with GMIN. Following discussion and taking into consideration the advice received from its financial advisors, the Reunion Gold Board directed management to pursue further discussions with GMIN regarding a potential business combination transaction, while continuing to explore other strategic alternatives, including discussions with other potential counterparties, and decided to establish the Reunion Gold Special Committee, to be comprised of Messrs. Pierre Chenard (Chair), Richard Cohen and Fred Stanford, each of whom was independent, to, among other things, review, direct and oversee the consideration of a potential business combination transaction with GMIN and other potential strategic alternatives, including maintaining the status quo.

On December 1, 2023, Reunion Gold communicated to GMIN that the Reunion Gold Board and management were prepared to pursue further discussions with respect to a potential business combination transaction.

In early December 2023, in light of their continued interest in Reunion Gold, three intermediate gold producers were offered site visits to the Oko West Project, anticipated to be held in early January 2024. Two of the three parties declined; however, Party B agreed to coordinate a site visit for early 2024.

On December 20, 2023, Reunion Gold announced that it had settled the action undertaken by Barrick in February 2023 following Reunion Gold's decision to terminate the SAA in December 2022. Reunion Gold and Barrick agreed that the SAA was terminated without any outstanding obligations under the SAA by either party and that there were no properties subject to the SAA.

On December 20, 2023, Party A contacted Reunion Gold. During that conversation, Reunion Gold communicated to Party A that Reunion Gold was in advanced discussions regarding a potential transaction and, if Party A had an interest in Reunion Gold, the time was then ripe to engage in earnest.

From January 17 to 19, 2024, representatives of Reunion Gold and certain of its due diligence advisors completed a site visit of the TZ Project.

On January 25, 2024, GMIN submitted the Initial Proposal for the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Reunion Gold for consideration consisting of 0.225 of a GMIN Share per Reunion Gold Share, plus an interest in Spinco. Under the Initial Proposal, Reunion Gold Shareholders would own approximately 37.8% of the resulting combined company on a nondiluted basis and 80.1% of Spinco that would hold all of Reunion Gold's exploration properties, excluding the Oko West Project as well as a "surrounding buffer" area, and be capitalized with \$15 million in cash. In addition, GMIN requested a period of reciprocal exclusivity until February 29, 2024. The Initial Proposal also contemplated that La Mancha would provide a significant equity investment in the combined company.

Later that day, the Reunion Gold Board, with the exception of the Non-Participating Director, met, with representatives of BMO Capital Markets in attendance. At the meeting, BMO Capital Markets provided its preliminary analysis of the Initial Proposal. The Reunion Gold Board determined that the Reunion Gold Special Committee, with advice from financial and legal advisors, should review the Initial Proposal and approved the Reunion Gold Special Committee's mandate: (i) to review, direct and oversee the review of a potential business combination transaction with GMIN and strategic and other alternatives thereto (including maintaining the status quo), and all activities to be carried out by Reunion Gold and its professional advisors in considering any potential transaction (including a potential business combination transaction with GMIN), including the process of negotiations between Reunion Gold and third parties with respect to the terms of any potential transaction; (ii) to review, direct and oversee the implementation of any potential transaction which may be entered into by Reunion Gold through its completion; and (iii) to make such reports and recommendations to the Reunion Gold Board as the Reunion Gold Special Committee deems advisable or as the Reunion Gold Board may request on any matter relating to any potential transaction and strategic and other alternatives thereto (including maintaining the status quo) and related matters.

On January 28, 2024, the Reunion Gold Special Committee held a meeting to consider and evaluate the Initial Proposal, with representatives of BMO Capital Markets and Stikeman Elliott in attendance. During the meeting, Stikeman Elliott provided a summary to the Reunion Gold Special Committee of the fiduciary duties of directors and other considerations related to its mandate. At the meeting, BMO Capital Markets provided its preliminary analysis of the Initial Proposal and potential responses thereto, noting that, at that time and excluding the value of Spinco, the Initial Proposal represented a premium of approximately 9% to the spot trading price of Reunion Gold Shares and an approximate 3% discount based on the 20-day volume weighted average prices of the Reunion Gold Shares and GMIN Shares and that, between November 27, 2023, being the last meeting of the Reunion Gold Board held to consider next steps with respect to a potential transaction with GMIN, to January 24, 2024, the day prior to the delivery of the Initial Proposal, the trading price of the GMIN Shares increased by approximately 45% while the trading price of Reunion Gold Shares declined by approximately 15% and, as a result, the Initial Proposal did not adjust for the significant difference that had developed over the period in the trading multiples between the Parties. BMO Capital Markets and management then summarized recent interactions they had with a variety of other companies in the industry who had shown interest in a potential transaction with Reunion Gold or otherwise might be potential counterparties to a transaction involving Reunion Gold. Following discussion and taking into consideration the advice received from its financial and legal advisors, the Reunion Gold Special Committee concluded that, while there was merit in considering a potential business combination transaction with GMIN, the consideration offered by GMIN was inadequate. The Reunion Gold Special Committee directed BMO Capital Markets to communicate Reunion Gold's position to RBC, GMIN's financial advisor, and authorized BMO Capital Markets to share a copy of Reunion Gold's internal financial model with GMIN to aid in demonstrating the inadequacy of the consideration offered. The Reunion Gold Special Committee further decided to continue discussions with other industry participants who had expressed interest in engaging with Reunion Gold, including allowing Party B to complete its previously scheduled site visit in the following days.

During the week of January 29, 2024, Party B completed the previously planned site visit.

On January 29, 2024, representatives of BMO Capital Markets communicated to representatives of RBC that the Reunion Gold Special Committee determined the consideration offered by GMIN in the Initial Proposal was inadequate.

In early February 2024, a number of additional discussions occurred between GMIN, Reunion Gold, and their respective advisors regarding the terms of a potential transaction.

On February 12, 2024, GMIN submitted the Second Proposal, with the only significant change being an increase to the share exchange ratio to 0.250 of a GMIN Share per Reunion Gold Share, representing an approximately 11% increase from the 0.225 of a GMIN Share per Reunion Gold Share exchange ratio in the Initial Proposal. Under the Second Proposal, Reunion Gold Shareholders would own approximately 40.7% of the combined company on a non-diluted basis. The Second Proposal again requested a period of reciprocal exclusivity until March 18, 2024. The Second Proposal also requested a voting support agreement from Dundee Corporation, Reunion Gold's largest shareholder, in addition to Reunion Gold's directors and officers.

On February 14, 2024, the Reunion Gold Special Committee met with representatives of BMO Capital Markets and Stikeman Elliott in attendance, to evaluate and consider the Second Proposal. At the meeting, BMO Capital Markets provided its preliminary financial analysis of the Second Proposal, and noted that the Second Proposal was not expressed as a best and final proposal, and that there appeared to be modest room for further negotiation. BMO Capital Markets further noted that representatives of GMIN expressed to BMO Capital Markets that GMIN's due diligence was substantially complete and that, while a transaction with Reunion Gold remained GMIN's preferred transaction, if an agreement was not reached, GMIN would turn its focus to other potential opportunities it had been advancing. Following further discussion and taking into consideration the advice received from its financial and legal advisors, the Reunion Gold Special Committee directed management and its advisors to present the Counterproposal to GMIN for a business combination transaction that would make the following key changes to the Second Proposal: (i) increasing the exchange ratio to 0.28 of a GMIN Share per Reunion Gold Share; (ii) adding additional consideration in the form of warrants to purchase GMIN Shares that would represent approximately \$0.03 of additional consideration per Reunion Gold Share payable to Reunion Gold Shareholders; and (iii) specifying that Spinco would hold all of Reunion Gold's interests in mineral projects, with the exception of the Oko West Project (plus the "surrounding buffer" area), including any interests in mineral projects that are acquired by Reunion Gold between the date of the Counterproposal and the closing date of a business combination transaction, and increasing the cash capitalizing Spinco to \$20 million. The Counterproposal offered a reciprocal exclusivity period until March 4, 2024. The Reunion Gold Special Committee also directed management to follow up with the other parties who had expressed interest in Reunion Gold and/or conducted site visits of the Oko West Project and encourage them to deliver a proposal if they were interested in pursuing a potential transaction.

On February 15, 2024, Reunion Gold delivered the Counterproposal to GMIN.

On February 19, 2024, Messrs. Richard Howes and Pierre Chenard met with Messrs. Louis-Pierre Gignac and Dušan Petković of GMIN to discuss the Counterproposal and exchange views on both parties' respective positions on the outstanding commercial issues. During the meeting, Mr. Gignac advised of GMIN's intent to halt on-going business combination discussions and encouraged the Parties to continue to assess opportunities to re-engage in the future, as and if appropriate.

Between February 25, 2024 and March 18, 2024, various discussions took place between representatives of GMIN and RBC, on the one hand, and representatives of Reunion Gold and BMO Capital Markets, on the other hand, regarding a continuation of negotiations. None of those discussions resulted in GMIN or Reunion Gold adjusting the terms of either the Second Proposal or the Counterproposal, respectively.

On February 26, 2024, Reunion Gold announced the release of an updated Mineral Resource estimate at the Oko West Project reflecting both increases in grades and contained gold from the maiden Mineral Resource estimate of June 2023. From February 25, 2024 to February 28, 2024, Reunion Gold attended the BMO Global Metals & Mining Conference and engaged with a number of parties that had previously entered into confidentiality agreements with Reunion Gold, including Party A and Party B. Although certain parties, including Party A and Party B, reiterated their continued interest in Reunion Gold and the Oko West Project, no party expressed that it was in a position to pursue a potential transaction with Reunion Gold in the immediate term, nor proposed or discussed any specific terms for a transaction.

On March 1, 2024, the Reunion Gold Special Committee, with representatives of BMO Capital Markets and Stikeman Elliott in attendance, held a meeting to discuss GMIN's reactions to the Counterproposal and recent discussions between representatives of Reunion Gold, GMIN and their respective financial advisors. At the meeting, BMO Capital Markets noted that GMIN had indicated it was highly opposed to including warrants to purchase GMIN Shares as consideration under any business combination transaction and that the focus of any further negotiations with GMIN would, therefore, likely need to be on the exchange ratio or potentially other forms of consideration. BMO Capital Markets also presented its updated preliminary financial analysis regarding a potential business combination transaction with GMIN at various potential exchange ratios above the exchange ratio offered by GMIN under the Second Proposal and a comparison of same to Reunion Gold's standalone business plan and other potential strategic alternatives. BMO Capital Markets expressed its view that a transaction with GMIN on improved terms from the Second Proposal would have the potential to deliver similar value to Reunion Gold Shareholders as the standalone scenario in both the near-term and long-term (including with reference to the projected value of Reunion Gold as a fully financed standalone business with the Oko West Project in production), but with substantially less financing risk. Following discussion and taking into consideration the advice received from its financial and legal advisors, the Reunion Gold Special Committee decided to continue discussions with GMIN to determine how the financial terms of a transaction with GMIN could be further improved from those of the Second Proposal, and directed management and BMO Capital Markets to communicate to Party B and Party A that, if they had interest in a potential business combination transaction with Reunion Gold, they should deliver a proposal as soon as possible.

Commencing early in 2023 and continuing into April 2024, Reunion Gold was engaged in ongoing discussions with the Government of Guyana with respect to the terms of a mineral agreement that would provide Reunion Gold with stable fiscal and operating conditions during the life of the Oko West Project. In discussions regarding the Counterproposal, GMIN noted that the risk that Reunion Gold would not be able to secure an acceptable mineral agreement was a factor in whether, and to what extent, it may be willing to increase the exchange ratio in a potential transaction.

On March 18, 2024, Mr. Gignac contacted Mr. Chenard to request that Reunion Gold and GMIN meet in-person to consider and attempt to settle the key commercial terms for a potential business combination transaction involving the Parties. Mr. Gignac informed Mr. Chenard that GMIN was, however, only prepared to meet on the condition that Reunion Gold agree to a three-week period of reciprocal exclusivity that would commence ahead of the meeting and allow for sufficient time to advance negotiation of definitive agreements following the meeting.

On March 20, 2024, Mr. Howes contacted a representative of Party B and reiterated that Party B should act quickly if it had interest in a potential strategic transaction with Reunion Gold.

Between March 20 and March 28, 2024, representatives of GMIN and Reunion Gold exchanged drafts of a reciprocal exclusivity agreement, with the representatives of Reunion Gold advising the GMIN representatives that the Reunion Gold Special Committee and Reunion Gold Board would consider whether to enter into any period of reciprocal exclusivity after the terms were settled. During this period, the Parties also made arrangements for potential in-person meetings from April 3 to April 5, 2024, with GMIN continuing to express that those meetings were conditional on entering into an exclusivity agreement prior to the meetings.

On March 26, 2024, representatives of Party B contacted Mr. Howes to express interest in a potential acquisition of Reunion Gold and requested access to additional diligence materials to progress its due diligence review of Reunion Gold and a presentation from management of Reunion Gold. The representatives of Party B did not propose or discuss any specific terms or make any specific proposals. On March 27, 2024, Party B received access to additional detailed confidential information to allow Party B to complete its due diligence review and, on March 27, 2024, representatives of Reunion Gold delivered a presentation regarding Reunion Gold and the Oko West Project to representatives of Party B.

On March 27, 2024, Blakes provided an initial draft of the arrangement agreement and form of voting support agreement to Stikeman Elliott, legal counsel to Reunion Gold.

On March 28, 2024, the Reunion Gold Special Committee met with representatives of BMO Capital Markets and Stikeman Elliott in attendance, to consider GMIN's request for a brief period of reciprocal exclusivity and to review the terms of the Second Proposal, previously delivered by GMIN, and the terms of the Counterproposal previously delivered by Reunion Gold, in advance of the potential in-person meetings with GMIN the following week. BMO Capital Markets delivered a presentation with its high-level overview of Reunion Gold's discussions with GMIN since the receipt of the Initial Proposal and its analysis regarding the range of exchange ratios, and other potential forms of consideration, that could be the basis for potential negotiations with GMIN. BMO Capital Markets also provided a summary of the status of discussions with other potential counterparties. Following discussion and taking into consideration the advice received from its financial and legal advisors; that only GMIN and Party B had expressed any significant interest in a potential transaction; that GMIN was the only party who had delivered a proposal regarding a potential transaction; that while Party B had recently expressed interest in a potential transaction, Party B had been slow to move previously and had not yet proposed any specific terms or made any specific proposals regarding a potential transaction; and that GMIN had expressed that, without entering into a period of reciprocal exclusivity with GMIN, GMIN would terminate discussions regarding a potential transaction and it would, therefore, not be possible to determine what improvement GMIN might be prepared to make to the terms of a potential transaction as compared to the terms GMIN proposed in the Second Proposal, the Reunion Gold Special Committee unanimously resolved to recommend to the Reunion Gold Board that Reunion Gold enter into an exclusivity agreement with GMIN providing for a two week period of reciprocal exclusivity (and not the three weeks requested by GMIN).

Later on March 28, 2024, the Reunion Gold Board met, with BMO Capital Markets and Stikeman Elliott in attendance and with the Non-Participating Director recusing himself from the portions of the meeting discussing potential strategic transactions. At the meeting, BMO Capital Markets delivered a presentation with its high-level overview of Reunion Gold's discussions with GMIN since the receipt of the Initial Proposal and its preliminary financial analysis regarding a potential business combination transaction with GMIN at various potential exchange ratios above the exchange ratio offered by GMIN under the Second Proposal. BMO Capital Markets and Reunion Gold management also provided an overview of the status of interactions with other potential counterparties, including the recent interest expressed by Party B in a potential transaction, noting that Party B had not yet proposed any specific terms or made any specific proposals regarding a potential transaction. The Reunion Gold Special Committee provided an update to the Reunion Gold Board regarding its recent activities and provided its recommendation to the Reunion Gold Board that the Reunion Gold Board approve the entering into of a two-week reciprocal exclusivity period with GMIN. Following discussions, and taking into account the advice received, the Reunion Gold Special Committee's unanimous recommendation and the factors considered by the Reunion Gold Special Committee in reaching its unanimous recommendation, the Reunion Gold Board approved the entering into of a two-week reciprocal exclusivity period with GMIN.

On March 29, 2024, Reunion Gold and GMIN entered into an exclusivity agreement, providing for a period of reciprocal exclusivity through April 12, 2024.

On April 2, 2024, the Reunion Gold Special Committee, with BMO Capital Markets and Stikeman Elliott in attendance, held a meeting to consider the terms of the draft arrangement agreement provided by Blakes. At the meeting, Stikeman Elliott and BMO Capital Markets discussed the key terms of the draft definitive agreement including a termination fee equal to 4% of equity value payable by Reunion Gold if the arrangement agreement was terminated in certain circumstances and the ability for GMIN (but not Reunion Gold) to terminate the agreement subject to certain requirements following receipt of a superior proposal.

From April 3 to April 5, 2024, representatives of Reunion Gold, GMIN and their respective financial advisors held in-person meetings to discuss the key terms of a potential transaction and, following extensive discussions, GMIN presented an improved Third Proposal for a transaction between the Parties, increasing the proposed exchange ratio to 0.270 of a GMIN Share for each Reunion Gold Share (an 8% increase to the Second Proposal and a 20% increase to the Initial Proposal), and with a reciprocal termination fee payable by the Parties under certain circumstances equal to 4% of Reunion Gold's transaction equity value. Under the Third Proposal, Reunion Gold Shareholders would own approximately 42.6% of the resulting combined company on a non-diluted basis.

On April 5, 2024, Mr. Pierre Chenard contacted representatives of SCP regarding the retention of SCP as a second independent financial advisor to provide an opinion as to the fairness of consideration in a potential transaction on a fixedfee basis based on, among other things, SCP's qualifications and experience, as well as its familiarity with Reunion Gold and its businesses. The Reunion Gold Special Committee formally approved the engagement of SCP on April 20, 2024 and SCP was engaged pursuant to an engagement letter entered into later that day.

Between April 5 and April 22, 2024, the Parties and their representatives negotiated the Arrangement Agreement, the GMIN Voting Support Agreements, the Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreements and other ancillary documentation. During this period, the Reunion Gold Special Committee held a number of formal and informal meetings to supervise the negotiations and provide direction to Reunion Gold's representatives.

Later in the evening of April 5, 2024, Party B delivered to Reunion Gold a non-binding proposal letter for the acquisition of all of the outstanding Reunion Gold Shares for a proposed price of \$0.67 per Reunion Gold Share, with the consideration comprised of 25% in cash and 75% in common shares of Party B, representing a premium of 40% to the then trading price for Reunion Gold Shares based on the closing price of the Party B common shares as of such date. Party B's non-binding proposal was conditional on, among other things, further due diligence, which Party B indicated would take four weeks to complete, including an additional site visit to the Oko West Project, as well as negotiation of definitive agreements.

On the morning of April 8, 2024, in light of the pending expiry of the reciprocal exclusivity period on April 12, 2024 and the remaining work required on the definitive agreements and other workstreams, GMIN requested that Reunion Gold agree to an extension of the period of reciprocal exclusivity though April 22, 2024.

Later on April 8, 2024, the Reunion Gold Special Committee, with BMO Capital Markets and Stikeman Elliott in attendance, held a meeting to consider Party B's April 5th proposal and the request from GMIN to extend exclusivity. BMO Capital Markets and Stikeman Elliott summarized the terms and conditions of Party B's April 5th proposal, noting that the proposal stated it was subject to a number of conditions, including further due diligence (including an additional site visit) that Party B estimated would take four weeks to complete. BMO Capital Markets delivered a presentation with its preliminary financial analysis of Party B's proposal and compared the terms of that proposal to the Third Proposal from GMIN. BMO Capital Markets noted that, a comparative financial analysis on reasonable assumptions suggested that it would be reasonable for Reunion Gold Shareholders to expect to realize a higher value within a reasonable period of time from the Third Proposal from GMIN compared to Party B's proposal as a result of the greater ongoing exposure to the Oko West Project, while Party B's proposal could, if consummated, deliver a larger near-term premium to Reunion Gold Shareholders. Following discussion and taking into consideration the advice received from its financial and legal advisors, the Reunion Gold Special Committee determined not to extend exclusivity with GMIN as GMIN had requested and, once exclusivity expired, to engage with Party B to determine whether it would be able to improve the financial terms and conditionality in its proposal.

On April 9, 2024, at the direction of the Reunion Gold Special Committee, Mr. Chenard informed Mr. Gignac that Reunion Gold had received a proposal from another party and that while Reunion Gold and its advisors were prepared to continue to advance the definitive agreements and other workstreams with GMIN and their advisors, the Reunion Gold Special Committee would not agree to extend exclusivity at this time and, following the scheduled expiration of exclusivity, intended to engage in discussions with both GMIN and this other party in parallel.

During late afternoon on April 10, 2024, the Reunion Gold Special Committee, with BMO Capital Markets and Stikeman Elliott in attendance, held a meeting to begin preparing for how to engage with Party B in respect of its proposal following the expiry of exclusivity with GMIN.

On April 12, 2024, the Reunion Gold Special Committee, with BMO Capital Markets and Stikeman Elliott in attendance, held a meeting to determine how to engage with Party B following the scheduled expiration of exclusivity with GMIN later that day. Following discussion and taking into account advice received from its financial and legal advisors, the Reunion Gold Special Committee directed management and its advisors to prepare a written response to Party B that would ask Party B whether the consideration in its prior proposal reflected the best and final consideration Party B was prepared to offer, and would express the concerns of the Reunion Gold Special Committee with the extent and timeline of diligence required by Party B and ask if Party B would be able to significantly reduce its timeline to complete its due diligence review and be in a position to sign a definitive agreement should the parties agree on the financial and other key terms of a potential transaction.

On the evening of April 12, 2024, following expiry of exclusivity with GMIN, at the direction of the Reunion Gold Special Committee, Reunion Gold delivered its response letter to Party B and requested Party B's response with respect to the questions raised in its response letter by the evening of April 14, 2024.

On the evening of April 14, 2024, Party B delivered a letter to Reunion Gold responding to Reunion Gold's letter of April 12, 2024. In that letter, Party B reiterated its interest in a potential transaction but it did not (i) improve the financial terms of its proposal, stating instead that its proposal represented full and fair value, (ii) increase the cash consideration in its proposal, or (iii) materially reduce the scope of additional due diligence it required, which continued to include an additional site visit, although Party B did express its belief it could shorten the time required to complete its additional diligence to two weeks (from four weeks).

Later in the evening of April 14, 2024, the Reunion Gold Special Committee, with BMO Capital Markets and Stikeman Elliott in attendance, held a meeting to consider the letter received from Party B earlier that evening. The Reunion Gold Special Committee and its advisors discussed the contents of the letter, observing that the letter failed to make any meaningful improvements to the terms of Party B's initial proposal and failed to significantly address the concerns regarding the extent and timeline of required due diligence and other conditions to Party B's proposal. Following discussion, the Reunion Gold Special Committee determined that, while the letter delivered by Party B earlier that evening had not improved the terms of the proposal or addressed the concerns of the Reunion Gold Special Committee regarding the timeline and conditionality of the proposal, representatives of Reunion Gold should still meet with Party B in person the following day, as Party B had requested, in case Party B would be prepared to offer anything further to address these matters in that meeting.

On the morning of April 15, 2024, GMIN delivered its "best and final" proposal, the Fourth Proposal, for a transaction with Reunion Gold, which increased the exchange ratio to 0.285 of a GMIN Share for each Reunion Gold Share, representing an approximately 5.6% increase to the Third Proposal and an approximately 26.7% increase to the Initial Proposal, requested an increase to the reciprocal termination fee payable by either Party under certain circumstances to \$40 million and requested a period of reciprocal exclusivity to finalize the definitive agreements through April 22, 2024. The Fourth Proposal was conditional on finalizing the definitive agreements and on Reunion Gold finalizing and entering into the mineral agreement with the Government of Guyana on acceptable terms but otherwise was not conditional on any further due diligence, and requested Reunion Gold's response by the end of that day. Excluding the value of Spinco, the Fourth Proposal represented a price of \$0.66 per Reunion Gold Share, based on the closing price of GMIN Shares on April 12, 2024 and would result in Reunion Gold Shareholders owning approximately 43.8% of the resulting combined company on a nondiluted basis.

On the afternoon of April 15, 2024, representatives of each of Reunion Gold and Party B met in person to share information regarding recent developments and modeling for both companies and to allow Party B to provide any additional perspective on its proposal. During the meeting, Party B again did not make any meaningful improvements to the terms of Party B's initial proposal and did not significantly address the concerns regarding the extent and timeline of required due diligence and other conditions to its proposal.

Later on April 15, 2024, the Reunion Gold Special Committee, with BMO Capital Markets and Stikeman Elliott in attendance, held a meeting to discuss the meeting held earlier that day with representatives of Party B and to consider the Fourth Proposal from GMIN. BMO Capital Markets delivered a presentation regarding its preliminary financial analysis of the Fourth Proposal from GMIN and of the proposal from Party B. Among other terms of the respective proposals, BMO Capital Markets noted that, with the improvements made in the Fourth Proposal from GMIN and based on recent trading prices of the GMIN Shares and Party B common shares, while the face value of the respective proposals was approximately the same (although on a settled basis the Fourth Proposal from GMIN would likely offer lower near-term value), a comparative financial analysis on reasonable assumptions suggested that it would be reasonable for Reunion Gold Shareholders to expect to realize a higher value within a reasonable period of time from the Fourth Proposal from GMIN compared to the proposal from Party B as a result of the greater ongoing exposure to the Oko West Project. Following discussion and taking into account the advice received from its financial and legal advisors; that, as a result of the greater ongoing exposure to the Oko West Project, it was reasonable for Reunion Gold Shareholders to expect to realize a higher value within a reasonable period of time from the Fourth Proposal from GMIN compared to the proposal from Party B; that GMIN stated that the Fourth Proposal was its "best and final offer"; and that the Fourth Proposal from GMIN was not subject to any further due diligence and was capable of being signed and announced within a week, the Reunion Gold Special Committee approved entering into a period of reciprocal exclusivity with GMIN through April 22, 2024, provided that GMIN agree to drop its request for an increase in the reciprocal termination fee.

GMIN agreed to drop its request to increase the reciprocal termination fee and, on the evening of April 15, 2024, Reunion Gold and GMIN entered into a new exclusivity agreement, providing for a period of reciprocal exclusivity through April 22, 2024.

During the negotiations, GMIN proposed to Reunion Gold a transaction structure whereby a holding company, New GMIN, would be created to hold all interests in both Parties. The Parties agreed to this structure and both the GMIN Exchange Ratio and Reunion Gold Exchange Ratio were adjusted accordingly.

On April 18, 2024, Reunion Gold announced that it had signed a mineral agreement with the Cooperative Republic of Guyana and the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission, which addressed the only remaining condition to the Fourth Proposal from GMIN other than finalizing the definitive agreements.

On the evening of April 18, 2024, Reunion Gold received a revised proposal from Party B (the "Revised Party B Proposal"), for the acquisition of all of the Reunion Gold Shares by Party B at an increased price of \$0.72 per Reunion Gold Share, with the consideration comprised of 40% cash and 60% in common shares of Party B. The Revised Party B Proposal continued to be subject to completion of due diligence, including an additional site visit to the Oko West Project, which Party B now indicated it expected could be achieved in 10 - 14 days, as well as the negotiation of definitive agreements.

On April 19, 2024, the Reunion Gold Special Committee, with BMO Capital Markets and Stikeman Elliott in attendance, held a meeting to consider the Revised Party B Proposal. BMO Capital Markets delivered its preliminary financial analysis of the Revised Party B Proposal, noting, among other things, that a comparative financial analysis on reasonable assumptions continued to suggest that it would be reasonable for Reunion Gold Shareholders to expect to realize a higher value within a reasonable period from the Fourth Proposal from GMIN compared to the Revised Party B Proposal as a result of the greater ongoing exposure to the Oko West Project, that the face value of the Revised Party B Proposal was above the face value of the Fourth Proposal from GMIN and the Revised Party B proposal would likely offer higher near-term value than the Fourth Proposal from GMIN on a settled basis, and that the deal protections under the potential transaction with GMIN should not preclude Party B or other parties making an offer to Reunion Gold if a definitive agreement were entered into with GMIN. Following discussion and taking into account the advice received from its financial and legal advisors and that, if Reunion Gold waited until after exclusivity expired and then engaged with Party B, there was a significant risk, based on its prior statements, that GMIN would terminate discussions and that Reunion Gold would be unable to consummate a transaction with respect to either the Fourth Proposal from GMIN or the Revised Party B Proposal, the Reunion Gold Special Committee determined to proceed to finalize negotiations of the definitive agreements with GMIN.

Later on April 19, 2024, GMIN agreed to lower the reciprocal termination fee payable by either party if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances to 3.5% of Reunion Gold's transaction equity value (from 4%).

In the early morning hours of April 20, 2024, Reunion Gold received a further revised proposal from Party B (the "Further Revised Party B Proposal"). The Further Revised Proposal offered the same consideration as the Revised Party B Proposal but stated that it was no longer conditional on further due diligence, although it remained subject to negotiation of definitive agreements.

Later on April 20, 2024, the Reunion Gold Special Committee, with BMO Capital Markets and Stikeman Elliott in attendance, held a meeting to consider the Further Revised Party B Proposal. BMO Capital Markets delivered its preliminary financial analysis of the Further Revised Party B Proposal, noting that its analysis of the financial terms of the Further Revised Party B Proposal was unchanged from its analysis of the Revised Party B Proposal since the consideration was unchanged. Following discussion and taking into consideration, among other things, the advice received from its financial and legal advisors; that a comparative financial analysis on reasonable assumptions continued to suggest that it would be reasonable for Reunion Gold Shareholders to expect to realize a higher value within a reasonable period of time from the Fourth

Proposal from GMIN compared to the Further Revised Party B Proposal as a result of the greater ongoing exposure to the Oko West Project; that the face value of the Further Revised Party B Proposal was above the face value of the Fourth Proposal from GMIN and the Further Revised Party B proposal would likely offer higher near-term value than the Fourth Proposal from GMIN on a settled basis; that the Arrangement Agreement with GMIN was capable of being executed and announced in less than 48 hours while negotiations concerning definitive agreements with Party B had not even commenced and could potentially be more challenging to complete given that Party B had until very recently been intending to conduct further due diligence; that Reunion Gold was unable to engage with Party B while it remained under exclusivity with GMIN through April 22, 2024; that, if Reunion Gold waited until after exclusivity expired and then engaged with Party B, there was a significant risk, based on its prior statements, that GMIN would terminate discussions and that Reunion Gold would be unable to consummate a transaction with respect to either the Fourth Proposal from GMIN or the Further Revised Party B Proposal; that Dundee Corporation and its affiliates, collectively the largest Reunion Gold Shareholder, were prepared to enter into voting support agreements with GMIN to vote in favour of the Arrangement with GMIN after having been provided with key terms of both the Fourth Proposal from GMIN and the Further Revised Party B Proposal; and that the deal protections under the Arrangement Agreement with GMIN should not preclude Party B or other parties making a proposal to Reunion Gold after entry into the Arrangement Agreement with GMIN, the Reunion Gold Special Committee determined to continue to proceed with finalizing the Arrangement Agreement and other documentation with GMIN.

On April 21, 2024, the Reunion Gold Board (with the exception of the Non-Participating Director) and the Reunion Gold Special Committee held a joint meeting, with BMO Capital Markets, SCP and Stikeman Elliott in attendance, to review the terms of a near final draft of the Arrangement Agreement and related matters. Representatives of BMO Capital Markets and SCP each provided a presentation regarding the proposed transaction with GMIN. BMO Capital Markets then delivered to the Reunion Gold Special Committee and the Reunion Gold Board an oral opinion, which was subsequently confirmed by delivery of the written BMO Capital Markets Fairness Opinion, to the effect that, as of April 21, 2024, and based on and subject to the analyses referred to, and assumptions, qualifications and limitation set forth therein, the Reunion Gold Exchange Ratio is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Reunion Gold Shareholders. SCP then delivered to the Reunion Gold Special Committee and the Reunion Gold Board an oral opinion, which was subsequently confirmed by delivery of the written SCP Fairness Opinion, to the effect that, as of April 21, 2024 and based on and subject to the analyses referred to, and assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth therein, the Consideration to be received by Reunion Gold Shareholders under the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Reunion Gold Shareholders. Following the presentations from BMO Capital Markets and SCP, representatives of Stikeman Elliott discussed certain aspects of the Arrangement Agreement, reviewed with the directors their fiduciary duties, and answered questions regarding the proposed transaction. Following extensive discussion of the key benefits and risks of the proposed transaction, including those noted under the heading "The Arrangement – Reasons for Recommendation of the Reunion Gold Special Committee and the Reunion Gold Board" in this Circular, and after consulting with its legal and financial advisors and following receipt of the Reunion Gold Fairness Opinions, the Reunion Gold Special Committee unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of Reunion Gold and unanimously recommended that the Reunion Gold Board approve the Arrangement and recommend that Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders vote in favour of the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution. Thereafter, following further discussion of the key benefits and risks of the proposed transaction, including those noted under the heading "The Arrangement – Reasons for Recommendation of the Reunion Gold Special Committee and the Reunion Gold Board", and after consulting with its legal and financial advisors and following receipt of the unanimous recommendation of the Reunion Gold Special Committee and the Reunion Gold Fairness Opinions, the Reunion Gold Board (with the exception of the Non-Participating Director) unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of Reunion Gold, unanimously approved entering into the Arrangement Agreement and unanimously recommended that the Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders vote in favour of the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution.

Throughout the evening of April 21, 2024 and the early morning hours of April 22, 2024, Reunion Gold, GMIN and their respective representatives finalized the Arrangement Agreement and the related documents and press release. The Arrangement Agreement, the GMIN Voting Support Agreements and the Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreements were executed in the early morning of April 22, 2024 and, prior to opening of trading on the TSX and the TSX-V that morning, Reunion Gold and GMIN issued a joint press release announcing the entering into of the Arrangement Agreement.

Recommendation of the GMIN Special Committee

As described above under "The Arrangement – Background to the Arrangement – GMIN" in this Circular, the GMIN Board established the GMIN Special Committee to, among other things, review and consider the Arrangement and other potential alternatives available to GMIN and make recommendations to the GMIN Board. The GMIN Special Committee is comprised

entirely of independent directors and it met on numerous occasions both as a committee with solely its members and advisors present and with management and the full GMIN Board present, where appropriate.

The GMIN Special Committee has unanimously determined, after consultation with its financial and legal advisors and following receipt and review of the GMIN Fairness Opinions, that the Arrangement and the GMIN Private Placements are in the best interests of GMIN, and unanimously recommends that the GMIN Board approve the Arrangement and recommend that the GMIN Shareholders vote in favour of the GMIN Arrangement Resolution as well as the GMIN Private Placements Resolution.

Recommendation of the GMIN Board

After careful consideration and taking into account such matters as it considered relevant including, among other things, the recommendation of the GMIN Special Committee and the GMIN Fairness Opinions, and after receiving legal and financial advice, the GMIN Board (with the Non-Participating Directors abstaining) has unanimously determined that the Arrangement and the GMIN Private Placements are in the best interests of GMIN and recommends that the GMIN Shareholders vote in favour of the GMIN Arrangement Resolution as well as the GMIN Private Placements Resolution.

Cormark and RBC were retained by the GMIN Board, through the GMIN Special Committee, to act as independent financial advisors to GMIN. Cormark received a fixed fee for its financial advisory services, including for the preparation and delivery of the Cormark Fairness Opinion. RBC was engaged to act as its financial advisor in connection with the Arrangement or any alternative transaction involving the Parties. RBC is to be paid a fee for its services as financial advisor, including a fee for the preparation and delivery of the RBC Fairness Opinion and fees that are contingent on the completion of the Arrangement or certain other events, and to be reimbursed for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and to be indemnified by GMIN in certain circumstances.

Reasons for Recommendation of the GMIN Special Committee and the GMIN Board

The recommendation of the GMIN Special Committee and the GMIN Board was made after giving consideration to a number of factors including, without limitation, those set forth below and in light of the GMIN Special Committee's and the GMIN Board's knowledge of the business, financial condition and prospects of the Parties, and in consultation with and taking into account the advice of GMIN's financial advisors and legal counsel. In view of the wide variety of factors considered in connection with their evaluation of the Arrangement, the GMIN Special Committee and the GMIN Board did not find it practicable to, and did not, quantify or otherwise attempt to assign relative weight to specific factors in reaching their determination. In addition, individual members of the GMIN Special Committee and the GMIN Board may have assigned different weights to different factors.

  • Top Tier Asset: The Oko West Project is amongst the highest quality gold development projects globally. It hosts one of the most significant gold discoveries in the Guiana Shield, a mining friendly region, known for world-class deposits. The Oko West Project has potential to support a large, long-life mine complex with an expedited timeline to production.
  • Strengthened Portfolio: The business combination of GMIN and Reunion Gold positions New GMIN to become a leading South American intermediate gold producer, supported by the near-term potential of the TZ Project, which is on schedule and on budget for commercial production in the second half of 2024 and is engineered to produce approximately 200,000 gold ounces per year for the first five years at an attractive lowest quartile all-in sustaining cost, and the long-term potential of the Oko West Project.
  • Management Track-Record: The New GMIN management team is ideally positioned to unlock value at the Oko West Project through leveraging systems, equipment, expertise and team from the TZ Project, which is supported by an impressive track-record, including through the Gignac Family-owned GMS, of executing world-class projects in the Guiana Shield region to generate industry leading returns for its stakeholders.
  • Limited Equity Dilution Required to Fund the Oko West Project Development: New GMIN would be able to leverage its free cash flow from the TZ Project, forecasted to total approximately US\$500 million between 2025 to 2027 at a gold price of US\$1,600 / oz, to fund a substantial portion of the construction of the Oko West Project, and thus limit potential financing dilution to the New GMIN shareholder base.

  • Compelling Re-Rate Potential: New GMIN will have the benefit of the opportunity for a faster and larger production re-rate and a higher mid-tier producer multiple once the Oko West Project is in production.

  • Enhanced Market Profile and Liquidity: Upon completion of the Arrangement, New GMIN will have a broadened shareholder base, an increased public float, and expected benefits from index inclusion (neither Party being currently included in any index), increased trading liquidity, and investor interest. The anticipated increased market capitalization and trading liquidity is expected to broaden New GMIN's investor appeal with enhanced market interest and analyst coverage.
  • Regional Platform: New GMIN is positioned to spearhead further regional consolidation, leveraging a strong South American platform of assets and extensive knowledge of the operating and regulatory environments in the region.
  • Asset Diversification: New GMIN will benefit from greater asset diversification and be better positioned to deal with industry headwinds and the impact of industry risks, which improves GMIN's long-term production and cash flow profile.
  • Insider and Shareholder Support: Each of the directors and members of senior management of GMIN, as well as GMIN's three largest shareholders, La Mancha, Franco-Nevada and Eldorado, who in aggregate own approximately 60% of the outstanding GMIN Shares, have entered into the Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreements pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their Shares in favour of the Arrangement and any other transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement. In addition, each of the directors and members of senior management of Reunion Gold, as well as La Mancha, and two subsidiaries of, and a trust controlled by, Dundee Corporation, who in the aggregate own approximately 29% of the outstanding Reunion Gold Shares, have entered into the GMIN Voting Support Agreements pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their Shares in favour of the Arrangement and any other transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement.
  • Fairness Opinions: RBC and Cormark have each provided their respective opinions to the GMIN Special Committee and the GMIN Board, copies of which are attached as "Appendix F-1 – Opinion of RBC Dominion Securities Inc." and "Appendix F-2 – Opinion of Cormark Securities Inc." to this Circular, to the effect that, as of April 21, 2024, and based on and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth in such opinions, the Consideration is fair, from a financial point of view, to the GMIN Shareholders.
  • Increased Financial Capacity: The GMIN Private Placements will raise between US\$50 60 million and provide New GMIN with significant immediate liquidity to facilitate the unlocking of value in New GMIN's asset portfolio.
  • Terms of the Arrangement Agreement: The terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement are, in the judgment of the GMIN Special Committee and the GMIN Board, following consultations with their financial and legal advisors, reasonable and were the result of a comprehensive negotiation process between GMIN and Reunion Gold and their respective legal and financial advisors, undertaken with the oversight and participation of the GMIN Special Committee. In particular:
  • Ability to Respond to GMIN Superior Proposal. Under the Arrangement Agreement, the GMIN Board, in certain circumstances prior to the GMIN Arrangement Resolution Shareholder Approval being obtained at the GMIN Meeting, in accordance with its fiduciary duties, remains able to consider, accept and enter into a Permitted Acquisition Agreement with respect to a GMIN Superior Proposal, or withdraw, modify or amend its recommendation that GMIN Shareholders vote to approve the GMIN Arrangement Resolution, subject to the requirement that GMIN continues to hold the GMIN Meeting and to cause the Arrangement to be voted on at the GMIN Meeting. The GMIN Termination Fee in the amount of \$31,200,000 payable by GMIN in such circumstances is, in the view of the GMIN Special Committee, reasonable and consistent with prevailing market terms, is appropriate in the circumstances as an inducement for Reunion Gold to enter into the Arrangement Agreement, and would not preclude a third party from making a Superior Proposal.
  • Limited Conditions to Closing. The completion of the Arrangement is subject to a limited number of conditions, which in the view of the GMIN Special Committee and the GMIN Board, after receiving legal and financial advice, are reasonable in the circumstances and, accordingly, offers relative deal certainty.

  • Reunion Gold Termination Fee. Reunion Gold has agreed to pay GMIN the Reunion Gold Termination Fee of \$31,200,000 if the Arrangement is not completed under certain circumstances as set out in the Arrangement Agreement, including in the event where the Reunion Gold Board determines to enter into a Permitted Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Reunion Gold Superior Proposal or withdraws, modifies or amends its recommendation that Reunion Gold Shareholders vote to approve the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution, which would also be subject to the requirement that Reunion Gold continues to hold the Reunion Gold Meeting and to cause the Arrangement to be voted on at the Reunion Gold Meeting.

  • Required GMIN Shareholder Approval and Court Approval: The GMIN Special Committee and the GMIN Board considered the following which protects GMIN Shareholders:
  • GMIN Shareholders Approval. The GMIN Arrangement Resolution must be approved by, among others, not less than 662/3% of the votes cast at the GMIN Meeting by GMIN Shareholders.
  • Dissent Rights. The GMIN Shareholders have been granted the right to dissent and, subject to certain conditions, be paid the fair value of the GMIN Shares as set forth in the Plan of Arrangement.
  • Court Approval. The Arrangement must be approved by the Court, which will consider, among other things, the substantive and procedural fairness of the Arrangement to GMIN Shareholders.
  • Due Diligence: Management of GMIN and its technical, legal and financial advisors conducted extensive due diligence on Reunion Gold and the Oko West Project.
  • Arm's Length: To the knowledge of the GMIN Board, the terms and conditions of the GMIN Voting Support Agreements and the Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreements were negotiated at Arm's Length between the parties thereto.

In the course of its deliberations, the GMIN Special Committee and the GMIN Board also considered a variety of risks (as described in greater detail under the heading "Risk Factors" in this Circular) and potentially negative factors in connection with the Arrangement, including, but not limited to:

  • the limitations contained in the Arrangement Agreement on GMIN's ability to solicit alternative transactions from third parties, as well as the fact that if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances, GMIN may also be required to pay the GMIN Termination Fee, which may adversely affect GMIN's financial condition;
  • the conditions to Reunion Gold's obligation to complete the Arrangement and the rights of Reunion Gold to terminate the Arrangement Agreement in certain circumstances;
  • the restrictions imposed pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement on the conduct of GMIN's business during the period between the entering into of the Arrangement Agreement and the consummation of the Arrangement;
  • the fact that certain of GMIN's directors and executive officers have interests in the Arrangement that differ from, or are in addition to, the Consideration to be received by GMIN Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement, which interests are described under the heading "The Arrangement – Interests of Certain Persons in the Matters to be Acted Upon at the GMIN Meeting" in this Circular; and
  • if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated, GMIN's business may be negatively impacted as a result of pursuing the Arrangement, including as a result of costs to GMIN in pursuing the Arrangement, the diversion of management attention away from the conduct of GMIN's business in the ordinary course and the potential loss of key employees.

The foregoing reasons for recommending the Arrangement include certain assumptions relating to forward-looking information, and such information and assumptions are subject to various risks. See "Joint Management Information Circular – Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Information" and "Risk Factors" in this Circular.

Cormark Fairness Opinion

Cormark was engaged by GMIN, through the GMIN Special Committee, to provide financial advisory services to the GMIN Board and the GMIN Special Committee pursuant to an engagement letter dated effective as of April 7, 2024 (the "Cormark Engagement Letter"). As part of this mandate, Cormark provided the GMIN Board and the GMIN Special Committee with the Cormark Fairness Opinion attesting to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Consideration to be received by the GMIN Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement. Accordingly, the Cormark Fairness Opinion states that, as of April 21, 2024, and based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth therein, the Consideration

to be received by the GMIN Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the GMIN Shareholders.

Cormark is a Canadian registered investment dealer providing investment research, equity sales and trading and investment banking services to a broad range of institutions and corporations. Cormark has participated in a significant number of transactions involving public and private companies, maintains a particular expertise advising companies across multiple sectors and has extensive experience in providing valuations and fairness opinions to special committees and boards.

The Cormark Fairness Opinion does not address the relative merits of the Arrangement as compared to other business strategies or transactions that might be available with respect to GMIN or GMIN's underlying business decision to effect the Arrangement.

Having regard to the nature of Cormark's roles in the matters described above and the financial condition of GMIN, the GMIN Special Committee was satisfied that Cormark is an independent financial advisor.

Recommendation of the Reunion Gold Special Committee

As described above under "The Arrangement – Background to the Arrangement – Reunion Gold" in this Circular, the Reunion Gold Board established the Reunion Gold Special Committee to, among other things, review and consider the Arrangement and other potential alternatives available to Reunion Gold and make recommendations to the Reunion Gold Board. The Reunion Gold Special Committee is comprised entirely of independent directors and it met on numerous occasions both as a committee with solely its members and advisors present and with management and the full Reunion Gold Board present, where appropriate.

The Reunion Gold Special Committee has unanimously determined, after consultation with its financial and legal advisors and following receipt and review of the Reunion Gold Fairness Opinions, that the Arrangement is in the best interests of Reunion Gold, and unanimously recommends that the Reunion Gold Board approve the Arrangement and recommend that the Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders vote in favour of the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution.

Recommendation of the Reunion Gold Board

After careful consideration and taking into account such matters as it considered relevant including, among other things, the recommendation of the Reunion Gold Special Committee and the Reunion Gold Fairness Opinions, and after receiving legal and financial advice, the Reunion Gold Board (with the Non-Participating Director abstaining) has unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of the Reunion Gold. Accordingly, the Reunion Gold Board (with the Non-Participating Director abstaining) unanimously recommends that the Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders vote in favour of the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution.

BMO Capital Markets was retained by Reunion Gold and SCP was retained by the Reunion Gold Special Committee to act as independent financial advisors to Reunion Gold. SCP received a fixed fee for its financial advisory services, including for the preparation and delivery of the SCP Fairness Opinion.

Reasons for Recommendation of the Reunion Gold Special Committee and the Reunion Gold Board

The recommendation of the Reunion Gold Special Committee and the Reunion Gold Board (other than the Non-Participating Director) was made after giving consideration a number of factors including, without limitation, those set forth below and in light of the Reunion Gold Special Committee's and the Reunion Gold Board's knowledge of the business, financial condition and prospects of the Parties, and in consultation with and taking into account the advice of Reunion Gold's financial advisors and legal counsel. In view of the wide variety of factors considered in connection with their evaluation of the Arrangement, the Reunion Gold Special Committee and the Reunion Gold Board did not find it practicable to, and did not, quantify or otherwise attempt to assign relative weight to specific factors in reaching their determination. In addition, individual members of the Reunion Gold Special Committee and the Reunion Gold Board may have given different weight to different factors.

  • Opportunity to Both Receive a Significant Premium and Significant Participation in Future Potential Growth of Combined Business and Spinco: The value of the Consideration to Reunion Gold Shareholders represents a premium of 29% based on GMIN's and Reunion Gold's closing price and 10-day volume-weighted average price on the TSX and TSX-V as at April 19, 2024, being the last trading day prior to announcement of the Arrangement, respectively, without accounting for the value of Spinco. The Arrangement also provides Reunion Gold Shareholders with approximately 43% ownership of New GMIN on a fully-diluted-in-the-money basis before giving effect to the GMIN Private Placements, meaning Reunion Gold Shareholders will have significant participation in the potential future upside of the Oko West Project and to GMIN's portfolio, including the TZ Project. In addition, Reunion Gold Shareholders, through their ownership of approximately 80.1% of the Spinco Shares, will have continued exposure to Reunion Gold's current exploration stage assets being transferred to Spinco, and to the Reunion Gold management team's substantial exploration knowledge, expertise and local connections, providing the opportunity to uncover additional new discoveries through Spinco, which will initially have \$15 million in funding.
  • Strengthened Portfolio: The business combination of GMIN and Reunion Gold positions New GMIN to become a leading South American intermediate gold producer, supported by the near-term potential of the TZ Project, which is on schedule and on budget for commercial production in the second half of 2024 and is engineered to produce approximately 200,000 gold ounces per year for the first five years at an attractive lowest quartile all-in sustaining cost, and the long-term potential of the Oko West Project.
  • Management Track-Record: The New GMIN management team is ideally positioned to unlock value at the Oko West Project through leveraging systems, equipment, expertise and team from the TZ Project, which is supported by an impressive track-record, including through the Gignac Family-owned GMS, of executing world-class projects in the Guiana Shield region to generate industry leading returns for its stakeholders.
  • Limited Equity Dilution Required to Fund the Oko West Project Development: Reunion Gold Shareholders are currently exposed to material risks if Reunion Gold attempts to develop the Oko West Project to production, including, the substantial capital requirements and exploration expenditures that would be required to continue to identify Mineral

Resources and Mineral Reserves, to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from Mineral Resources, and to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining, and there is no guarantee Reunion Gold would be able to obtain the required financing to develop the Oko West Project to production, or if it was able to obtain such financing that the financing would be on terms favourable to Reunion Gold. New GMIN would be able to leverage its free cash flow from the TZ Project, forecasted to total approximately US\$500 million between 2025 to 2027 at a gold price of US\$1,600 / oz, to fund a substantial portion of the construction of the Oko West Project, and thus limit potential financing dilution to the New GMIN shareholder base.

  • Compelling Re-Rate Potential: New GMIN will have the benefit of the opportunity for a faster and larger production re-rate and a higher mid-tier producer multiple once the Oko West Project is in production.
  • Enhanced Market Profile and Liquidity: Upon completion of the Arrangement, New GMIN will have a broadened shareholder base, an increased public float, and expected benefits from index inclusion (neither Party being currently included in any index), increased trading liquidity, and investor interest. The anticipated increased market capitalization and trading liquidity is expected to broaden New GMIN's investor appeal with enhanced market interest and analyst coverage.
  • Regional Platform: New GMIN is positioned to spearhead further regional consolidation, leveraging a strong South American platform of assets and extensive knowledge of the operating and regulatory environments in the region.
  • Attractive Value Relative to Alternatives: The Reunion Gold Special Committee and the Reunion Gold Board, with the assistance of their financial and legal advisors assessed the alternatives reasonably available to it and determined that the anticipated benefits of the Arrangement, taking into account both the potential future value for shareholders and the associated risk of achieving that future value, are more favourable than pursuing other alternatives reasonably available to Reunion Gold, including:
  • Executing on Its Current Strategic Plan. The Reunion Gold Special Committee and the Reunion Gold Board assessed Reunion Gold's current and anticipated future opportunities and risks associated with the business operations, assets, financial condition and prospects of Reunion Gold as an independent, publicly traded company, including the risks facing Reunion Gold described above under the heading "The Arrangement - Background to the Arrangement – Reunion Gold" in this Circular.
  • Sale to a Potential Competing Bidder. Prior to entering into the Arrangement, including at times with the assistance of its financial advisors, Reunion Gold engaged with a number of domestic and international industry participants regarding various potential transactions, including a number of industry participants of a sufficient scale to be potential acquirors of Reunion Gold, and, based on those interactions and other factors, including the factors described above under the heading "The Arrangement - Background to the Arrangement – Reunion Gold" in this Circular, it was the Reunion Gold Special Committee's and the Reunion Gold Board's view that there was significant uncertainty associated with realizing an alternative transaction on more attractive terms.
  • Comprehensive Negotiations Leading to Significantly Improved Reunion Gold Exchange Ratio: The Reunion Gold Exchange Ratio was extensively negotiated by the Reunion Gold Special Committee, with GMIN having made four separate proposals, each on successively improved financial terms, and with the final Reunion Gold Exchange Ratio expressed as GMIN's "best and final offer" and representing an approximately 27% increase to the exchange ratio under GMIN's initial proposal.
  • Business and Industry Risks and Asset Diversification: The business, operations, assets, financial condition, operating results and prospectus of Reunion Gold are subject to significant uncertainty, including but not limited to risks associated with Reunion Gold's dependency on the Oko West Project, for its future operating revenue, permitting and regulatory approvals, exploration and development risks and commodity price and inflation risks. New GMIN will be better positioned to deal with industry headwinds and the impact of any of the foregoing risks as a result of the combined company's larger market capitalization, increased technical expertise, asset diversification, and enhanced access to capital and business development opportunities, which improves Reunion Gold's long-term production and cash flow profile.

  • Insider and Shareholder Support: Each of the directors and members of senior management of Reunion Gold, as well as La Mancha, and two subsidiaries of, and a trust controlled by, Dundee Corporation, who in the aggregate own approximately 29% of the outstanding Reunion Gold Shares, have entered into the GMIN Voting Support Agreements pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their Reunion Gold Shares in favour of the Arrangement and any other transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement. In addition, each of the directors and members of senior management of GMIN, as well as GMIN's three largest shareholders, La Mancha, Franco-Nevada and Eldorado, who in aggregate own approximately 60% of the outstanding GMIN Shares, have entered into the Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreements pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their GMIN Shares in favour of the Arrangement and any other transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement. See "The Arrangement – Voting Support Agreements" in this Circular.

  • Fairness Opinions: BMO Capital Markets and SCP each provided their respective Reunion Gold Fairness Opinions, copies of which are attached as "Appendix G-1 – Opinion of BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. and Appendix G-2 – Opinion of SCP Resource Finance LP" to this Circular, to the effect that, as of April 21, 2024, and based on and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth in such Reunion Gold Fairness Opinions, the Reunion Gold Exchange Ratio (in respect of the BMO Capital Markets Fairness Opinion) and the Consideration (in respect of the SCP Fairness Opinion), is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Reunion Gold Shareholders.
  • Terms of the Arrangement Agreement: The terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement are, in the judgment of the Reunion Gold Special Committee and the Reunion Gold Board, following consultations with their financial and legal advisors, reasonable and were the result of a comprehensive negotiation process between Reunion Gold and GMIN and their respective legal and financial advisors, undertaken with the oversight and participation of the Reunion Gold Special Committee. In particular:
  • Ability to Respond to Reunion Gold Superior Proposal. Under the Arrangement Agreement, the Reunion Gold Board, in certain circumstances prior to the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution Securityholder Approval being obtained at the Reunion Gold Meeting, in accordance with its fiduciary duties, remains able to consider, accept and enter into a Permitted Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Reunion Gold Superior Proposal, or withdraw, modify or amend its recommendation that Reunion Gold Shareholders vote to approve the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution, subject to the requirement that Reunion Gold continues to hold the Reunion Gold Meeting and to cause the Arrangement to be voted on at the Reunion Gold Meeting. The Reunion Gold Termination Fee in the amount of \$31,200,000 payable by Reunion Gold in such circumstances is, in the view of the Reunion Gold Special Committee, reasonable and consistent with prevailing market terms, is appropriate in the circumstances as an inducement for GMIN to enter into the Arrangement Agreement, and would not preclude a third party from making a Reunion Gold Superior Proposal.
  • Limited Conditions to Closing. GMIN's obligation to complete the Arrangement is subject to a limited number of conditions that the Reunion Gold Special Committee and the Reunion Gold Board believe are reasonable in the circumstances and the completion of the Arrangement is not subject to a due diligence condition. Accordingly, the Arrangement offers relative deal certainty.
  • GMIN Termination Fee. GMIN has agreed to pay Reunion Gold the GMIN Termination Fee of \$31,200,000 if the Arrangement is not completed under certain circumstances as set out in the Arrangement Agreement, including in the event where the GMIN Board determines to enter into a Permitted Acquisition Agreement with respect to a GMIN Superior Proposal or withdraws, modifies or amends its recommendation that GMIN Shareholders vote to approve the GMIN Arrangement Resolution, which would also be subject to the requirement that GMIN continues to hold the GMIN Meeting and to cause the Arrangement to be voted on at the GMIN Meeting.
  • Required Reunion Gold Voting Securityholder Approval and Court Approval: The Reunion Gold Special Committee and the Reunion Gold Board considered the following which protects Reunion Gold Shareholders:
  • Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders Approval. The Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution must be approved by, among others, not less than 662/3% of the votes cast at the Reunion Gold Meeting by Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders.

  • Dissent Rights. The Reunion Gold Shareholders have been granted the right to dissent and, subject to certain conditions, have their Reunion Gold Shares transferred to New GMIN against payment by Reunion Gold of their fair value.

  • Court Approval. The Arrangement must be approved by the Court, which will consider, among other things, the substantive and procedural fairness of the Arrangement to Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders.
  • Due Diligence: Management of Reunion Gold and its technical, legal and financial advisors conducted extensive due diligence on GMIN and the TZ Project.
  • Arm's Length: To the knowledge of the Reunion Gold Board, the terms and conditions of the Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreements and the GMIN Voting Support Agreements were negotiated at Arm's Length between the parties thereto; and
  • Increased Financial Capacity: The GMIN Private Placements will raise between US\$50 60 million and provide New GMIN with significant immediate liquidity to facilitate the unlocking of value in New GMIN's asset portfolio.

In the course of its deliberations, the Reunion Gold Special Committee and the Reunion Gold Board also considered a variety of risks (as described in greater detail under the heading "Risk Factors" in this Circular) and potentially negative factors in connection with the Arrangement, including, but not limited to:

  • the limitations contained in the Arrangement Agreement on Reunion Gold's ability to solicit alternative transactions from third parties, as well as the fact that if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances, Reunion Gold may also be required to pay the Reunion Gold Termination Fee, which may adversely affect Reunion Gold's financial condition;
  • the conditions to GMIN's obligation to complete the Arrangement and the rights of GMIN to terminate the Arrangement Agreement in certain circumstances;
  • the restrictions imposed pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement on the conduct of Reunion Gold's business during the period between the entering into of the Arrangement Agreement and the consummation of the Arrangement;
  • the fact that certain of Reunion Gold's directors and executive officers have interests in the Arrangement that differ from, or are in addition to, the Consideration to be received by Reunion Gold Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement, which interests are described under the heading "The Arrangement – Interests of Certain Persons in the Matters to be Acted Upon at the Reunion Gold Meeting" in this Circular;
  • if the Arrangement is successfully completed, Reunion Gold will no longer exist as an independent publicly traded company and Reunion Gold Shareholders will be unable to fully participate in the longer-term potential benefits of the business of Reunion Gold;
  • if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated and the Reunion Gold Board decides to seek another transaction or business combination, there is no assurance that Reunion Gold will be able to find a party willing to pay greater or equivalent value compared to the value of the Consideration available to Reunion Gold Shareholders under the Arrangement; and
  • if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated, Reunion Gold's business may be negatively impacted as a result of pursuing the Arrangement, including as a result of costs to Reunion Gold in pursuing the Arrangement, the diversion of management attention away from the conduct of Reunion Gold's business in the ordinary course and the potential loss of key employees.

The foregoing reasons for recommending the Arrangement include certain assumptions relating to forward-looking information, and such information and assumptions are subject to various risks. See "Joint Management Information Circular – Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Information" and "Risk Factors" in this Circular.

SCP Fairness Opinion

Pursuant to an engagement letter dated April 19, 2024 (the "SCP Engagement Letter"), the Reunion Gold Special Committee retained SCP as independent financial advisor to Reunion Gold for the purposes of, among other things, preparing and delivering the SCP Fairness Opinion to the Reunion Gold Special Committee and the Reunion Gold Board

In addition, SCP is to be reimbursed for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and to be indemnified by Reunion Gold for certain liabilities that may arise under its engagement.

Neither SCP nor any of its affiliates or associates is an insider, associate or affiliate or a related party of an Interested Party.

Treatment of Other Convertible Securities

Each holder of a GMIN Warrant, to the extent the holder of such GMIN Warrant has not exercised his, her or its rights of acquisition thereunder prior to the Effective Time, shall, upon the exercise of such rights, be entitled to be issued and to receive upon payment of the original exercise price as set forth in the Warrant Documentation governing such GMIN Warrant, as adjusted and in accordance with the Warrant Documentation governing such GMIN Warrant, such number of New GMIN Shares as is equal to the GMIN Exchange Ratio, for each GMIN Share that was issuable upon due exercise of the GMIN Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Each GMIN RSU and GMIN DSU shall continue to be governed by and be subject to the terms of the applicable GMIN Incentive Plan, subject to any addendum or grant or vesting documents, as applicable, issued or provided by New GMIN to holders of the GMIN RSUs and GMIN DSUs, as applicable, to facilitate the settlement of the GMIN RSUs and GMIN DSUs, as applicable.

Subject to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, and if the GMIN Arrangement Resolution is approved by GMIN Shareholders at the GMIN Meeting in the manner required by the Interim Order, and the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution is approved by the Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders at the Reunion Gold Meeting in the manner required by the Interim Order, the Parties will apply to the Court for the Final Order.

The Court will be advised that, based on the Court's approval of the Arrangement, New GMIN and Spinco will rely on the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption for the issuance of the New GMIN Shares and the Spinco Shares to the Reunion Gold Shareholders in exchange for Reunion Gold Shares (including as a step in the Plan of Arrangement, in exchange for Reunion Gold Class A Shares and Reunion Gold Class B Shares held by Former Reunion Gold Shareholders), the issuance and exchange of the Replacement Options and Replacement Spinco Options to holders of Reunion Gold Options (including as a step in the Plan of Arrangement, in exchange for Replacement Reunion Gold Options, the issuance and exchange of the New GMIN Shares to GMIN Shareholders, and the issuance and exchange of the Replacement Options to holders of GMIN Options. The Court's approval is required for the Arrangement to become effective. In addition, it is a condition of the Arrangement that the Court will have determined, prior to approving the Final Order, that the terms and conditions of the issuance and exchange of securities in the Arrangement are procedurally and substantively fair to the Securityholders that will be issued securities in the Arrangement.

The application hearing for the Final Order approving the Arrangement is scheduled for July 11, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) by videoconference, or as soon thereafter as counsel may be heard, or at any other date and time as the Court may direct. At the hearing, any Securityholder or other interested party who wishes to participate or to be represented or to present evidence or arguments may do so, subject to filing with the Court and serving upon the Parties no less than four business days before the hearing, a Notice of Appearance, including the party's address for service (or alternatively, an email address for service by electronic mail), indicating whether such party intends to support or oppose the application or make submissions thereat, together with a summary of the position such Securityholder or other interested party intends to advocate before the Court and any evidence or materials which are to be presented to the Court. Service of this notice shall be effected by service upon the solicitors of (i) GMIN: Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, 199 Bay Street, Suite 4000, Toronto, Ontario M5L 1A9, Attention: Ryan Morris, or (ii) Reunion Gold: Stikeman Elliott LLP, Suite 5300 Commerce Court West, 199 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario M5L 1B9, Attention: Eliot Kolers. The application for the Final Order is attached as "Appendix E – Notice of Application" to this Circular.

The Court has broad discretion under the CBCA when making orders with respect to plans of arrangement and the Court will consider, among other things, the fairness and reasonableness of the Arrangement, both from a substantive and a procedural point of view. The Court may approve the Arrangement either as proposed or as amended in any manner the Court may direct, subject to compliance with such terms and conditions, if any, as the Court sees fit. Depending upon the nature of any required amendments, the Parties may determine not to proceed with the Arrangement.

Stock Exchange Approvals

Issuance Approval

Sections 611(c) and Section 611(g) of the TSX Company Manual requires that the issuance of New GMIN Shares pursuant to the Arrangement and the GMIN Private Placements to persons other than the GMIN Shareholders (except for those participating in the GMIN Private Placements) be approved by GMIN Shareholders as the number of such New GMIN Shares so issuable exceeds 25% of the total number of New GMIN Shares outstanding on a non-diluted basis after giving effect to such issuances.

At the GMIN Meeting, and as part of the GMIN Arrangement Resolution, GMIN Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to approve the issuance of an aggregate of up to 105,441,431 New GMIN Shares comprised of (i) up to 92,317,569 New GMIN Shares to be issued by New GMIN as payment for the acquisition of the outstanding Reunion Gold Shares held by Reunion Gold Shareholders (other than Reunion Gold Shareholders validly exercising Dissent Rights), (ii) up to 4,055,312 New GMIN Shares issuable on exercise of Replacement Options issued to Reunion Gold Optionholders, and (iii) subject to and conditional upon the GMIN Private Placements Resolution Shareholder Approval being obtained, up to 9,068,550 New GMIN Shares issuable in consideration of the GMIN Shares issued pursuant to the GMIN Private Placements. The 105,441,431 New GMIN Shares to be issued in connection with the Arrangement and the GMIN Private Placements represents approximately 93.5% of the issued and outstanding GMIN Shares before giving effect to such issuance, on a non-diluted basis and taking into account the GMIN Exchange Ratio. The TSX will generally not require further securityholder approval for the issuance of up to 24,093,220 additional New GMIN Shares as a result of any increase in the Consideration payable pursuant to the Arrangement, such number of additional New GMIN Shares representing 25% of the number of securities to be approved by GMIN Shareholders at the GMIN Meeting for purposes of the Arrangement other than the New GMIN Shares issuable pursuant to the GMIN Private Placements.

Listing Approval

It is anticipated that the listing of the New GMIN Shares will be considered a "substitutional listing" for GMIN under the rules of the TSX and will result in New GMIN Shares being assigned new CUSIP and ISIN numbers.

Other Conditions or Approvals

In addition to receipt of the GMIN Arrangement Resolution Shareholder Approval, the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution Securityholder Approval, approval of the Arrangement by the Court and the Stock Exchange Approval, it is a condition precedent to the implementation of the Arrangement that all other conditions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement be satisfied or waived. See "Summary of Material Agreements in Connection with the Arrangement – Arrangement Agreement" in this Circular.

Timing

If the Meetings are held as scheduled and are not adjourned or postponed and the other necessary conditions at that point in time are satisfied or waived, the Parties will apply for the Final Order approving the Arrangement. If the Final Order is obtained on or about July 11, 2024, in form and substance satisfactory to the Parties, each acting reasonably, and all other conditions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement are satisfied or waived, including the Stock Exchange Approval, the Parties currently expect the Effective Date to occur on July 15, 2024. It is not possible, however, to state with certainty when the Effective Date will occur. The Effective Date could be delayed for a number of reasons, including an objection before the Court at the hearing of the application for the Final Order on July 11, 2024, or the failure to obtain the Stock Exchange Approval in the anticipated timeframes.

The Arrangement will become effective upon the filing with the Director of the Articles of Arrangement and of a copy of the Final Order, together with such other materials as may be required by the Director.

Stock Exchange Delisting and Reporting Issuer Status

It is expected that the Parties will apply to cause (i) the GMIN Shares to be delisted from the TSX and withdrawn from the OTCQX designation, and (ii) the Reunion Gold Shares to be delisted from the TSX-V and withdrawn from the OTCQX designation, with effect as soon as practicable following the Effective Date. Following the Effective Date, it is expected that the Parties will apply to cease to be reporting issuers under the Securities Laws of each of the provinces and territories in Canada under which each of the Parties are currently reporting issuers (or equivalent) or take or cause to be taken such other measures as may be appropriate to ensure that the Parties are not required to prepare and file continuous disclosure documents.

Voting Support Agreements

Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreements

In connection with the Arrangement, the GMIN Supporting Parties entered into the Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreements with Reunion Gold, pursuant to which they have agreed, among other things, to support the Arrangement and any other transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement. As of April 22, 2024, the GMIN Supporting Parties owned approximately 270,271,738 GMIN Shares, representing approximately 60% of the outstanding GMIN Shares.

Except for the Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreement entered into with Eldorado (as further discussed below), such agreements were entered into on substantially similar terms and set forth, among other things, the following covenants of the GMIN Supporting Parties:

  • (a) to vote their Subject Securities in favour of the approval of the GMIN Arrangement Resolution or any other transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement and any other matter necessary for the consummation of the Arrangement, and provide their consent or other approval in respect thereof;
  • (b) to vote their Subject Securities against any Acquisition Proposal or a proposed action in furtherance of an Acquisition Proposal and/or any matter that could reasonably be expected to delay, prevent or frustrate the GMIN Meeting or the successful completion of the Arrangement and each of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement;
  • (c) not to, directly or indirectly, (i) sell, transfer, pledge or assign or agree to sell, transfer, pledge or assign any of their Subject Securities or any interest therein other than in connection with the Arrangement, (ii) grant any proxies or power of attorney, deposit any of their Subject Securities into any voting trust or enter into any voting arrangement, (iii) otherwise enter into any agreement or arrangement with any person or knowingly commit any act that would reasonably be expected to limit, restrict or affect the GMIN Securityholder's legal power, authority, or right to vote any of their Subject Securities; or (iv) requisition or join in the requisition of any meeting of any of the securityholders of GMIN for the purpose of considering any resolution related to any Acquisition Proposal and/or any matter that could reasonably be expected to delay, prevent or frustrate the successful completion of the Arrangement or any of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not prevent a GMIN Supporting Party from (w) exercising or converting its Subject Securities in accordance with their terms or the Arrangement Agreement, (x) transferring its Subject Securities to one or more corporations, family trusts, registered retirement savings plan accounts or other entity directly or indirectly owned or controlled by, or under common control with, such GMIN Supporting Party, (y) granting a Lien over the Subject Securities in favour of (A) a bank or other financial institution that provides financing to such GMIN Supporting Party or an affiliate thereof, or (B) a security trustee, facility agent or security agent on behalf of a bank or other financial institution that provides financing to such GMIN Supporting Party or an affiliate thereof, in each case as security for the

indebtedness of such GMIN Supporting Party or any of its affiliates, pursuant to which actions to enforce any such security interest granted in connection with any such indebtedness may be taken by any secured parties following a default by such GMIN Supporting Party (or any of its affiliates, as applicable) or any event triggering enforcement under such indebtedness in accordance with its terms, or (z) entering into a derivative financing agreement, including a collar with call options, in relation to its Subject Securities, pursuant to which actions to enforce obligations under any such agreement may be taken by a counterparty in accordance with its terms; provided that: (1) any such transfer will not relieve such GMIN Supporting Party of or from its obligations under the applicable Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreement, (2) prompt written notice of such transfer is provided to GMIN; and (3) such transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of the applicable Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreement;

  • (d) to cease and cause to be terminated any solicitation, encouragement, discussion or negotiation with any persons conducted theretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal;
  • (e) not to knowingly solicit, assist, initiate, encourage or otherwise knowingly facilitate any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or that they believe would reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to an Acquisition Proposal;
  • (f) not to enter into or otherwise engage or participate in any substantive discussions or negotiations with any person (other than GMIN and its affiliates) regarding any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or that they believe would reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to an Acquisition Proposal;
  • (g) not to publicly propose or state an intention to withdraw, amend, modify or qualify their support of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement;
  • (h) not to publicly propose to accept, approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal;
  • (i) not to accept or enter into, or publicly propose to accept or enter into, any agreement, understanding or arrangement in respect of an Acquisition Proposal;
  • (j) not to exercise any Dissent Rights in respect of any resolution approving the Arrangement; and
  • (k) no later than five Business Days prior to the GMIN Meeting, to complete forms of proxy or voting instructions forms, as applicable, in respect of all their Subject Securities having voting rights in respect of the Arrangement to be validly delivered in accordance with the instructions set forth in this Circular, to cause such Subject Securities to be voted in favour of the GMIN Arrangement Resolution, and, upon request, provide a copy of such forms to Reunion Gold; and to not revoke or withdraw such forms of proxy or voting instruction forms, unless the prior written consent from Reunion Gold has been obtained or the Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreement has been terminated.

The Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreements will automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earliest to occur of (a) the Effective Time, (b) the Outside Date, if the Effective Date has not occurred by the Outside Date, (c) the date on which the Arrangement Agreement terminates or is terminated in accordance with its terms, and (d) a GMIN Change in Recommendation or the date on which GMIN enters into a Permitted Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement.

The terms of the Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreement entered into by Eldorado differ from the Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreements described above in the following manner:

(a) Eldorado's obligation to vote its Subject Securities in favour of the approval of the GMIN Arrangement Resolution or any other transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement and to vote against any Acquisition Proposal and/or any matter that could reasonably be expected to delay, prevent or frustrate the GMIN Meeting or the successful completion of the Arrangement is subject to GMIN entering into an agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to Eldorado, which amends and restates, or novates, the Eldorado IRA. Such an agreement must provide that, from the completion of the Arrangement, New GMIN agrees to be bound by the Eldorado IRA and assume, observe, perform and discharge all obligations, covenants, provisos, agreements and conditions of GMIN under or related to the Eldorado IRA. For further details on the Eldorado IRA, see "Summary of Material Agreements in Connection with the Arrangement – Investor Rights Agreements – GMIN IRAs – Eldorado IRA" in this Circular;

  • (b) Eldorado may transfer any of all of its Subject Securities to any person provided that (1) prompt written notice of such transfer is provided to GMIN, and (2) such transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of the Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreement, other than the provisions relative to the Eldorado IRA outlined above; and
  • (c) in the event that (i) Eldorado provides notice to GMIN that there is an unsolicited bona fide written offer for not less than 50% of the outstanding GMIN Shares, other than GMIN Shares beneficially owned by such offeror, or any offer to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of GMIN on a consolidated basis that, in Eldorado's view, acting reasonably, is more favourable to Eldorado from a financial point of view than the Consideration payable under the Arrangement, and (ii) following a five Business Day right to match period providing GMIN and Reunion Gold with the opportunity to amend the terms of the Arrangement, Eldorado determines that such preceding written offer continues to remain more favourable to Eldorado, from a financial point of view, than the Consideration per GMIN Share payable under the terms of any proposed amendment to the Arrangement, Eldorado may then terminate its Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreement.

GMIN Voting Support Agreements

In connection with the Arrangement, the Reunion Gold Supporting Parties entered into the GMIN Voting Support Agreements with GMIN pursuant to which they have agreed, among other things, to support the Arrangement and any other transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement and to vote their Reunion Gold Shares and Reunion Gold Options in favour of the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution. As of April 22, 2024, the Reunion Gold Supporting Parties owned approximately 362,812,572 Reunion Gold Shares, representing approximately 29% of the outstanding Reunion Gold Shares.

The Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreements were entered into on substantially similar terms and set forth, among other things, the following covenants of the Reunion Gold Supporting Parties:

  • (a) to vote their Subject Securities in favour of the approval of the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution or any other transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement and any other matter necessary for the consummation of the Arrangement, and provide their consent or other approval in respect thereof;
  • (b) to vote their Subject Securities against any Acquisition Proposal or a proposed action in furtherance of an Acquisition Proposal and/or any matter that could reasonably be expected to delay, prevent or frustrate the Reunion Gold Meeting or the successful completion of the Arrangement and each of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement;
  • (c) not to, directly or indirectly, (i) sell, transfer, pledge or assign or agree to sell, transfer, pledge or assign any of their Subject Securities or any interest therein other than in connection with the Arrangement, (ii) grant any proxies or power of attorney, deposit any of their Subject Securities into any voting trust or enter into any voting arrangement, (iii) otherwise enter into any agreement or arrangement with any person or knowingly commit any act that would reasonably be expected to limit, restrict or affect the Reunion Gold Securityholder's legal power, authority, or right to vote any of their Subject Securities; or (iv) requisition or join in the requisition of any meeting of any of the securityholders of Reunion Gold for the purpose of considering any resolution related to any Acquisition Proposal and/or any matter that could reasonably be expected to delay, prevent or frustrate the successful completion of the Arrangement or any of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not prevent a Reunion Gold Supporting Party from (w) exercising or converting its Subject Securities in accordance with their terms or the Arrangement Agreement, (x) transferring its Subject Securities to one or more corporations, family trusts, registered retirement savings plan accounts or other entity directly or indirectly owned or controlled by, or under common control with, such Reunion Gold Supporting Party, (y) granting a Lien over the Subject Securities in favour of (A) a bank or other financial institution that provides financing to such Reunion Gold Supporting Party or an affiliate thereof, or (B) a security trustee, facility agent or security agent on behalf of a bank or other financial institution that provides financing to such Reunion Gold Supporting Party or an affiliate thereof, in each case as security for the indebtedness of such Reunion Gold Supporting Party or any of its affiliates, pursuant to which actions to enforce any such security interest granted in connection with any such indebtedness may be taken by any secured parties following a default by such Reunion Gold Supporting Party (or any of its affiliates, as applicable) or any event triggering enforcement under such indebtedness in accordance with its terms, or (z) entering into a derivative financing agreement, including a collar

with call options, in relation to its Subject Securities, pursuant to which actions to enforce obligations under any such agreement may be taken by a counterparty in accordance with its terms; provided that: (1) any such transfer will not relieve such Reunion Gold Supporting Party of or from its obligations under the applicable GMIN Voting Support Agreement, (2) prompt written notice of such transfer is provided to Reunion Gold; and (3) such transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of the applicable GMIN Voting Support Agreement;

  • (d) to cease and cause to be terminated any solicitation, encouragement, discussion or negotiation with any persons conducted theretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal;
  • (e) not to knowingly solicit, assist, initiate, encourage or otherwise knowingly facilitate any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or that they believe would reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to, an Acquisition Proposal;
  • (f) not to enter into or otherwise engage or participate in any substantive discussions or negotiations with any person (other than Reunion Gold and its affiliates) regarding any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or that they believe would reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to, an Acquisition Proposal;
  • (g) not to publicly propose or state an intention to withdraw, amend, modify or qualify their support of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement;
  • (h) not to publicly propose to accept, approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal;
  • (i) not to accept or enter into, or publicly propose to accept or enter into, any agreement, understanding or arrangement in respect of an Acquisition Proposal;
  • (j) not to exercise any Dissent Rights in respect of any resolution approving the Arrangement; and
  • (k) no later than five Business Days prior to the Reunion Gold Meeting, to complete forms of proxy or voting instructions forms, as applicable, in respect of all their Subject Securities having a voting rights in respect of the Arrangement to be validly delivered in accordance with the instructions set forth in this Circular, to cause such Subject Securities to be voted in favour of the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution, and, upon request, provide a copy of such forms to GMIN; and to not revoke or withdraw such forms of proxy or voting instruction forms, unless the prior written consent from GMIN has been obtained or the GMIN Voting Support Agreement has been terminated.

The GMIN Voting Support Agreements will automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earliest to occur of (a) the Effective Time, (b) the Outside Date, if the Effective Date has not occurred by the Outside Date, (c) the date on which the Arrangement Agreement terminates or is terminated in accordance with its terms, and (d) a Reunion Gold Change in Recommendation or the date on which Reunion Gold enters into a Permitted Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement.

Letters of Transmittal and Procedure for Exchange of Shares and Related Elections

In order to receive New GMIN Shares on the completion of the Arrangement, Registered Shareholders must deposit with the Depositary (at one of the addresses which is specified on the last page of the applicable Letter of Transmittal) the applicable validly completed and duly signed Letter of Transmittal together with the certificates and/or DRS Advices representing the Registered Shareholder's Shares and such other documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require. Registered Shareholders who do not have their share certificates should refer to the heading "The Arrangement – Letters of Transmittal and Procedure for Exchange of Shares and Related Elections - Lost, Destroyed or Stolen Certificate(s)" in this Circular.

The Letter of Transmittal contains procedural information relating to the Arrangement and should be reviewed carefully. Non-Registered Shareholders holding Shares that are registered in the name of an Intermediary must contact that Intermediary for instructions and assistance in order to have their Shares delivered to the Depositary and to receive the New GMIN Shares. See "The Arrangement – Letters of Transmittal and Procedure for Exchange of Shares and Related Elections – Non-Registered Shareholders" in this Circular.

Procedure for Exchange of Reunion Gold Shares and Related Elections

As discussed above under "The Arrangement – Details of the Arrangement – Arrangement Steps" in this Circular, Reunion Gold will undertake a capital and business reorganization as part of the Arrangement. A Non-Resident Reunion Gold Shareholder may elect to opt-out of the exchange of their Reunion Gold Class A Shares redesignated under the Plan of Arrangement for Reunion Gold Class B Shares and Spinco Shares. Such Non-Resident Reunion Gold Shareholder will instead receive Spinco Shares on the reduction of stated capital of the Reunion Gold Class A Shares.

Non-Resident Reunion Gold Shareholders who wish to elect out of the exchange of their Reunion Gold Class A Shares for Reunion Gold Class B Shares and Spinco Shares must make the appropriate Opt-Out Election in the Reunion Gold Letter of Transmittal in order to be treated as an Electing Reunion Gold Shareholder. To make an Opt-Out Election, the Non-Resident Reunion Gold Shareholder must deposit with the Depositary not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturday, Sundays and statutory holidays in Montréal, Québec and Toronto, Ontario) prior to the Reunion Gold Meeting (the "Election Deadline"), a duly completed Reunion Gold Letter of Transmittal together with the certificates and/or DRS Advices representing all Reunion Gold Shares held before the Effective Time, indicating the determination by such Non-Resident Reunion Gold Shareholder to make the Opt-Out Election.

Any Non-Resident Reunion Gold Shareholder that does not make, or is deemed to not have made, a valid Opt-Out Election by depositing a duly completed Reunion Gold Letter of Transmittal with the Depositary no later than the Election Deadline, shall receive Reunion Gold Class B Shares and Spinco Shares in exchange for their Reunion Gold Class A Shares in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement. For greater certainty, the Opt-Out Election is not available to any Resident Reunion Gold Shareholder. Resident Reunion Gold Shareholders will exchange their Reunion Gold Class A Shares for Reunion Gold Class B Shares and Spinco Shares pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement.

See "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations" in this Circular for tax considerations related to the Opt-Out Election.

Registered Shareholders

If you are a Registered Shareholder, you should have received, with this Circular, a form of proxy and a Letter of Transmittal. Registered Shareholders who have not received any Letter(s) of Transmittal should contact the Depositary, by phone at 1-800-564-6253 (within North America) and 1-514-982-7555 (outside North America) or by email at [email protected]. Registered Shareholders may request additional copies of the Letters of Transmittal by contacting the Depositary. The Letters of Transmittal are also available, as applicable, under the Parties' respective SEDAR+ profiles at www.sedarplus.ca.

If the Arrangement Resolutions are passed and the Arrangement is implemented, in order to receive the New GMIN Shares and Spinco Shares, as applicable, Registered Shareholders must complete and sign the Letter(s) of Transmittal enclosed with this Circular and deliver it/them, together with the certificate(s) or DRS Advice(s) representing the Registered Shareholder's Shares and such other documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require. Registered Shareholders of Shares who do not forward to the Depositary the applicable validly completed and signed Letter(s) of Transmittal, together with the certificate(s) or DRS Advice(s) representing the Registered Shareholder's Shares will not receive the New GMIN Shares or Spinco Shares to which they are otherwise entitled, as applicable, until such deposit is made. For Registered Shareholders of Shares who do not have their certificate(s), see "The Arrangement – Letters of Transmittal and Procedure for Exchange of Shares and Related Elections – Lost, Destroyed or Stolen Certificate(s)" in this Circular.

The Letters of Transmittal contain procedural information relating to the Arrangement and should be reviewed carefully. The deposit of the Shares pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Letters of Transmittal will constitute a binding agreement between the depositing Registered Shareholder, New GMIN and Spinco, as applicable, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Arrangement.

In all cases, following the Effective Date, delivery of the New GMIN Shares and the Spinco Shares, as applicable, for Shares deposited will be made only after timely receipt by the Depositary of certificate(s) or DRS Advice(s) representing such Shares, together with the properly completed and duly executed Letter(s) of Transmittal in the forms accompanying this Circular relating to such Shares, with signatures guaranteed if so required in accordance with the instructions in the Letters of Transmittal, and any other required documents.

If a Letter of Transmittal is executed by a person other than the Registered Shareholder of the certificate(s) or DRS Advice(s) deposited therewith, such certificate(s) or DRS Avice(s) must be endorsed or be accompanied by an appropriate share transfer power of attorney properly completed by the Registered Shareholder, and the signature on such endorsement or share transfer power of attorney must correspond exactly to the name of the Registered Shareholder as registered or as appearing on the certificates(s) or DRS Avice(s) and must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Letter of Transmittal.

All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including timely receipt) and acceptance of any Letter of Transmittal and Shares deposited pursuant to the Arrangement will be determined by the Parties. Depositing Registered Shareholders agree that such determination will be final and binding. The Parties reserve for themselves the absolute discretion to instruct the Depositary and the absolute right to waive any defect or irregularity contained in any Letter of Transmittal received by it. The granting of a waiver to one or more GMIN Shareholders or Reunion Gold Shareholders does not constitute a waiver for any other GMIN Shareholder or Reunion Gold Shareholder, as applicable.

The method of delivery of the Letter of Transmittal and all Share certificate(s), DRS Advice(s) and all other required documents is at the option and risk of the person depositing same, and delivery will be deemed effective only when such documents are actually received by the Depositary. The Parties recommend that the necessary documentation be hand delivered to the Depositary at the address set forth in the Letter(s) of Transmittal, and that a receipt be obtained; otherwise, the use of registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, is recommended.

Registered Shareholders are encouraged to complete, sign, date and return the enclosed Letter(s) of Transmittal, together with their certificate(s) or DRS Advice(s), as applicable, to the Depositary as soon as possible to assist in arranging for the prompt exchange of the Shares if the Arrangement is completed. If the Arrangement Resolutions are not approved or if the Arrangement is not otherwise completed, certificate(s) or DRS Advice(s) delivered to the Depositary will be returned to Registered Shareholders as soon as practicable by the Depositary.

Non-Registered Shareholders

Assuming completion of the Arrangement, if Shareholders hold their Shares through an Intermediary, the New GMIN Shares and Spinco Shares, as applicable, will be delivered to such Shareholders' Intermediary through the procedures in place for such purposes between CDS & Co. (which act as nominees for many Canadian Intermediaries) or similar entities. Shareholders should contact their Intermediary if they have questions regarding this process.

The exchange of Shares for New GMIN Shares and Spinco Shares, as applicable, in respect of Non-Registered Shareholders is expected to be made with such Shareholders' Intermediary. Non-Registered Shareholders should contact their Intermediary if they have any questions regarding this process and carefully follow the instructions from the Intermediary that holds their Shares and arrange for their Intermediary to complete the necessary steps to ensure that they receive the applicable Consideration as soon as possible following completion of the Arrangement.

Lost, Destroyed or Stolen Certificate(s)

Prior to the Effective Date, if a certificate representing Shares has been lost, destroyed or stolen, the Registered Shareholder of such certificate should contact the Depositary by phone at 1-800-564-6253 (within North America) and 1-514-982-7555 (outside North America) or by email at [email protected], and provide the Depositary with a letter describing the loss, destruction or theft. The Depositary will respond with the replacement requirements which such Registered Shareholder will be required to complete and return, alongside certain documentation, including a bond and/or indemnity.

After the Effective Date, if a certificate representing the Shares has been lost, destroyed or stolen, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact or submitting a letter describing the loss, as directed by the Depositary, the Depositary will cause the issuance, in exchange for such lost, destroyed or stolen certificate, of the New GMIN Shares that such Registered Shareholder has the right to receive in accordance with the Arrangement and the Letter(s) of Transmittal. When authorizing such exchange for any lost, destroyed or stolen certificate, the Registered Shareholder shall, as a condition precedent to

the delivery of such New GMIN Shares and Spinco Shares, as applicable, give a surety bond satisfactory to the Depositary, New GMIN and Spinco, as applicable, each acting reasonably, in such sum as New GMIN, Spinco and the Depositary may direct, acting reasonably, and indemnify the Depositary, New GMIN and Spinco, as applicable, in a manner satisfactory to the Depositary, New GMIN and Spinco, each acting reasonably, against any claim that may be made against the Depositary, New GMIN and Spinco with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, destroyed or stolen.

Effect of Surrendering Certificate(s) or Forwarding DRS Advice(s)

Once Registered Shareholders surrender their certificate(s) or forward their DRS Advice(s), they will not be entitled to sell the Shares to which such certificate(s) or DRS Advice(s) relate.

Delivery of New GMIN Shares and Spinco Shares

The Depositary will act as the agent of persons who have deposited their Shares pursuant to the Arrangement for the purpose of receiving the New GMIN Shares and the Spinco Shares, as applicable, pursuant to the Arrangement and transmitting it to such persons.

As regards Registered Shareholders, upon surrender by them to the Depositary for cancellation of certificate(s) or DRS Advice(s) which, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented one or more Shares held by them, together with a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, such Registered Shareholders will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Depositary will cause the delivery to such Registered Shareholders as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, a DRS Advice or certificate(s) representing New GMIN Shares and Spinco Shares, as applicable, which such Registered Shareholders are entitled to receive in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement, less any amounts withheld pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, if any, and the certificate(s) or DRS Advice(s) representing the Shares so surrendered will forthwith be cancelled. In the event that a DRS Advice is not available, a certificate representing New GMIN Shares and Spinco Shares, as applicable, will be issued to the Former Shareholder. Until surrendered, each certificate or DRS Advice which, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented a Share will be deemed, after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive, upon the surrender of such certificate or DRS Advice, New GMIN Shares or Spinco Shares, as applicable, in lieu of such certificate or DRS Advice representing one or more Shares, less any amounts withheld pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement.

Unless otherwise directed in the Letter of Transmittal, a certificate or DRS Advice, as applicable, representing New GMIN Shares and Spinco Shares, as applicable, will be issued in the name of the Registered Shareholder so depositing. Such certificate or DRS Advice will be forwarded by mail to the address provided in the Letter of Transmittal or, if no address is provided, such certificate or DRS Advice will be forwarded to the address of the person as shown on the applicable register maintained by GMIN or Reunion Gold.

Cancellation of Rights of Shareholders

From and after the Effective Time, certificates or DRS Advices formerly representing Shares under the Arrangement shall represent only the right to receive New GMIN Shares or Spinco Shares, as applicable, to which the Former Shareholders are entitled under the Arrangement, or with respect to Dissenting Shareholders, other than Dissenting Shareholders deemed to have participated in the Arrangement pursuant to Section 3.01 [Dissent Rights] of the Plan of Arrangement, to receive the fair value of the Dissenting Shares represented by such certificates or DRS Advices.

To the extent that a Former Shareholder shall not have complied with the provisions of the Plan of Arrangement with respect to the surrender of certificates or DRS Advices on or before the date that is six years after the Effective Date, then the certificate or DRS Advice which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares held by such Former Shareholder shall cease to represent a claim or interest of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether as a securityholder or otherwise and whether against New GMIN, GMIN, Reunion Gold, Spinco, the Depositary or any other person. On such date, the Consideration which such Former Shareholder would otherwise have been entitled to receive, together with any distributions or dividends such holder would otherwise have been entitled to receive, shall be deemed to have been surrendered for no consideration to New GMIN. No Party will be liable to any person in respect of any cash or securities which is forfeited to New GMIN, as applicable, or delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property or similar Law.

Procedures for Holders of GMIN Options and Reunion Gold Options

Holders of GMIN Options or Reunion Gold Options will not be required to complete and return a Letter of Transmittal or surrender the stock option agreements representing their GMIN Options or Reunion Gold Options, as applicable, in order to receive the Replacement Options or Spinco Options to which such holder is entitled under the Arrangement. On the Effective Date, the GMIN Options or Reunion Gold Options will be deemed cancelled and New GMIN will issue instruments representing the Replacement Options issued in exchange for the GMIN Options or Reunion Gold Options, as applicable, and Spinco will issue instruments representing the Replacement Spinco Options issued in exchange for the Reunion Gold Options, pursuant to the Arrangement which will be forwarded to the address of the holders of GMIN Options or Reunion Gold Options as shown on the applicable register maintained by GMIN or Reunion Gold.

Treatment of Certain Other Convertible Securities

If the GMIN Arrangement Resolution Shareholder Approval and the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution Securityholder Approval is obtained, the Parties agree that, to the extent any GMIN DSUs, GMIN RSUs or GMIN Warrants are outstanding, each Party shall comply with, or cause New GMIN (or any successor thereto) to comply with, as applicable, the terms and provisions of the applicable GMIN Incentive Plan, and the Warrant Documentation governing the GMIN Warrants, including the assumption by New GMIN of the obligations of New GMIN as a successor following the Effective Time to each of the Parties pursuant to the terms of the applicable GMIN Incentive Plan or the Warrant Documentation governing the GMIN Warrants. As the Effective Date will occur after the Reunion Gold Warrant Expiry Date, no Reunion Gold Warrants will be outstanding on the Effective Date. See "The Arrangement – Details of the Arrangement – Treatment of Other Convertible Securities" in this Circular.

Dissent Rights

The following is a summary of the provisions of the CBCA relating to the Dissent Rights in respect of the Arrangement. Such summary is not a comprehensive statement of the procedures to be followed by a Dissenting Shareholder who seeks payment of the fair value of his, her or its Dissenting Shares and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Section 190 of the CBCA, a copy of which is attached as "Appendix L – Section 190 of the Canada Business Corporations Act" to this Circular, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order.

The statutory provisions dealing with Dissent Rights are technical and complex. Dissenting Shareholders should seek independent legal advice, as failure to strictly comply with the provisions of Section 190 of the CBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order, may result in the loss of all Dissent Rights.

Dissenting Shareholders

It is a condition to the Parties' respective obligations to complete the Arrangement that GMIN Shareholders and Reunion Shareholders holding no more than 10% of the GMIN Shares and Reunion Gold Shares, respectively, shall have exercised Dissent Rights that have not been withdrawn as at the Effective Date.

The Interim Order expressly provides Registered Shareholders, as at the close of business on the Record Date, with Dissent Rights. Each Dissenting Shareholder is entitled to be paid the fair value (determined as of the close of business on the day before the applicable Arrangement Resolution is adopted) of all, but not less than all, of such Shareholder's Shares, provided that such Shareholder duly dissents to the applicable Arrangement Resolution, and the Arrangement becomes effective. There can be no assurance that the amount Dissenting Shareholders receive as fair value for their Dissenting Shares will be more than or equal to the Consideration under the Arrangement.

Non-Registered Shareholders who beneficially own, control and direct Shares who wish to exercise Dissent Rights should be aware that only the Registered Shareholders of such Shares are entitled to dissent. Accordingly, with respect to Shares beneficially owned by a Non-Registered Shareholder registered (a) in the name of an Intermediary, or (b) in the name of a depository or clearing agency of which the Intermediary is a participant, the Non-Registered Shareholder desiring to exercise Dissent Rights must make arrangements for the Shares beneficially owned by such holder to be registered in the name of the Non-Registered Shareholder prior to the time the Dissent Notice is required to be received by GMIN or Reunion Gold,

as applicable, or, alternatively, make arrangements for the Registered Shareholder of such Shares to exercise Dissent Rights on behalf of the Non-Registered Shareholder.

For greater certainty, holders of Reunion Gold Options are not entitled to Dissent Rights.

Dissent Notice

To exercise Dissent Rights, a Dissenting Shareholder must dissent with respect to all Shares of which he, she or it is the registered and beneficial owner. A Dissenting Shareholder must deliver a written dissent notice (a "Dissent Notice") to GMIN or Reunion Gold, as applicable, as set forth below and such Dissent Notice must strictly comply with the requirements of Section 190 of the CBCA, as modified by the Interim Order and the Plan of Arrangement; provided that, notwithstanding Section 190(5) of the CBCA, a Dissenting Shareholder must ensure that such Dissent Notice is received, as applicable, either (i) in respect of GMIN Shareholders, by GMIN at GMIN's head office located at 5025 Boul. Lapinière, 10th Floor, Suite 1050, Brossard, Québec J4Z 0N5, Attention: Vice President, Legal Affairs and Corporate Secretary, email: [email protected], not later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on July 5, 2024 or, if the GMIN Meeting is adjourned or postponed, not later than 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays in the Provinces of Québec and Ontario) prior to the time set for the adjourned or postponed GMIN Meeting, or (ii) in respect of Reunion Gold Shareholders, by Reunion Gold at Reunion Gold's office located at 1111 St-Charles Street West, West Tower, Suite 101, Longueuil, Québec J4K 5G4, Attention: Corporate Secretary, email: [email protected], not later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on July 5, 2024 or, if the Reunion Gold Meeting is adjourned or postponed, not later than 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays in the Provinces of Québec and Ontario) prior to the time set for the adjourned or postponed Reunion Gold Meeting. Non-Registered Shareholders who wish to exercise Dissent Rights must cause the Registered Shareholders of such Shares to deliver the Dissent Notice.

To exercise Dissent Rights, a Registered Shareholder must prepare a separate Dissent Notice for himself, herself or itself, if dissenting on his, her or its own behalf, and for each Non-Registered Shareholder on whose behalf the Registered Shareholder is dissenting. Further, such Registered Shareholder must dissent with respect to all of the GMIN Shares or Reunion Gold Shares, as applicable, registered in his, her or its name or, if dissenting on behalf of a Non-Registered Shareholder, with respect to all of the GMIN Shares or Reunion Gold Shares, as applicable, registered in his, her or its name and beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Shareholder. The Dissent Notice must set forth the number of Dissenting Shares and: (a) if such Shares constitute all of the GMIN Shares or Reunion Gold Shares, as applicable, of which the Shareholder is the registered and beneficial owner and such Shareholder owns no other GMIN Shares or Reunion Gold Shares, as applicable, beneficially, a statement to that effect; (b) if such Shares constitute all of the GMIN Shares or Reunion Gold Shares, as applicable, of which the Shareholder is both the registered and beneficial owner, but such Shareholder owns additional GMIN Shares or Reunion Gold Shares, as applicable, beneficially, a statement to that effect and the names of the Registered Shareholders, the number of GMIN Shares or Reunion Gold Shares, as applicable, held by each such Registered Shareholders and a statement that written notices of dissent are being or have been sent with respect to such other GMIN Shares or Reunion Gold Shares, as applicable; or (c) if the Dissent Rights are being exercised by a Registered Shareholder who is not the beneficial owner of such GMIN Shares or Reunion Gold Shares, as applicable, a statement to that effect and the name of the Non-Registered Shareholder and a statement that the Registered Shareholder is dissenting with respect to all GMIN Shares or Reunion Gold Shares, as applicable, of the Non-Registered Shareholder registered in such Registered Shareholder's name.

If the GMIN Arrangement Resolution Shareholder Approval and the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution Securityholder Approval are obtained, and GMIN or Reunion Gold notifies a Registered Shareholder of Dissenting Shares of its intention to act upon the applicable Arrangement Resolution pursuant to Section 190(6) of the CBCA, in order to exercise Dissent Rights, such Registered Shareholder must, within 20 days after GMIN or Reunion Gold, as applicable, gives such notice, provide GMIN or Reunion Gold with a written notice that such Registered Shareholder requires the purchase of all of the Dissenting Shares in respect of which such holder has given a Dissent Notice, whereupon, subject to the provisions of the CBCA relating to the termination of Dissent Rights, such Registered Shareholder becomes a Dissenting Shareholder, is entitled to be paid the fair value of its Dissenting Shares, and ceases to have any rights as a Shareholder, other than the right to be paid the fair value of its Dissenting Shares as determined under Section 190 of the CBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order. Such Dissenting Shareholder shall, within 30 days after sending such written notice, send the certificate(s) or DRS Advice(s) representing such Dissenting Shares to the Depository, GMIN or Reunion Gold.

The filing of a Dissent Notice does not deprive a Registered Shareholder of the right to vote at the applicable Meeting. However, no Registered Shareholder who has voted in favour of the applicable Arrangement Resolution shall be entitled to exercise Dissent Rights with respect to his, her or its Shares. A vote against the applicable Arrangement Resolution, an abstention from voting, or a proxy submitted instructing a proxyholder to vote against the applicable Arrangement Resolution does not constitute a Dissent Notice, but a Registered Shareholder need not vote his, her or its Shares against the applicable Arrangement Resolution in order to dissent. Similarly, the revocation of a proxy conferring authority on the proxyholder to vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution does not constitute a Dissent Notice. However, any proxy granted by a Registered Shareholder who intends to dissent, other than a proxy that instructs the proxyholder to vote against the applicable Arrangement Resolution, should be validly revoked in order to prevent the proxyholder from voting such Shares in favour of the applicable Arrangement Resolution and thereby causing the Registered Shareholder to forfeit his, her or its Dissent Rights.

Dissent Rights and Consideration for Dissenting Shares

Each Dissenting Shareholder who duly exercises his, her or its Dissent Rights in accordance with Section 3.01 [Dissent Rights] of the Plan of Arrangement shall be deemed to have transferred all Shares held by such Dissenting Shareholder and in respect of which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised, to Reunion Gold and/or GMIN, as applicable, as provided in Section 2.03(a) [Reunion Gold Shares held by Dissenting Reunion Gold Shareholders] and Section 2.03(b) [GMIN Shares held by Dissenting GMIN Shareholders] of the Plan of Arrangement, and if such Dissenting Shareholder:

  • (a) is ultimately entitled to be paid fair value for his, her or its Dissenting Shares, such Dissenting Shareholder: (i) shall be deemed not to have participated in the transactions set forth in Section 2.03 [Arrangement] of the Plan of Arrangement (other than and Section 2.03(a) [Reunion Gold Shares held by Dissenting Reunion Gold Shareholders] and Section 2.03(b) [GMIN Shares held by Dissenting GMIN Shareholders] thereof); (ii) shall be entitled to be paid the fair value of such Shares by the applicable Party, which fair value, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Part XV of the CBCA, shall be determined as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which the applicable Arrangement Resolution was adopted; and (iii) shall not be entitled to any other payment or consideration, including any payment that would be payable under the Arrangement if such Dissenting Shareholder had not exercised his, her or its Dissent Rights in respect of the Dissenting Shares; or
  • (b) is ultimately not entitled, for any reason, to be paid fair value for his, her or its Dissenting Shares, such Dissenting Shareholder shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as a non‐Dissenting Shareholder and shall be entitled to receive only the Consideration contemplated by Section 2.03(e) [Reunion Gold Shares] and Section 2.03(f) [GMIN Shares] of the Plan of Arrangement that such Dissenting Shareholder would have received pursuant to the Arrangement if such Dissenting Shareholder had not exercised Dissent Rights, but in no case shall Reunion Gold, GMIN or any other person be required to recognize Dissenting Shareholders as holders of Shares after the time that is immediately prior to the Effective Time, and the names of such Dissenting Shareholders shall be deleted from the securities register(s) as Shareholders at the Effective Time and New GMIN shall be recorded as the registered holder of the Dissenting Shares so transferred and such Shares shall be cancelled.

If the Arrangement is approved, the applicable Party (the "Payor") shall, not later than seven days after the later of the Effective Date or the day the applicable Party received the written notice that such Shareholder requires the purchase of all of the Dissenting Shares in respect of which such Shareholder has given a Dissent Notice, send to each Dissenting Shareholder a written offer (the "Offer to Purchase") to pay the Dissenting Shareholder an amount considered by the board of directors of the Payor to be the fair value of the subject Shares, together with a statement showing how the fair value of such Shares was determined. Every Offer to Purchase shall be on the same terms.

A Dissenting Shareholder, GMIN or Reunion Gold may apply to the Court to fix the fair value of the Dissenting Shares and the Court may determine the payout value of such Shares, giving judgment in that amount against the applicable Party in favour of the Dissenting Shareholder and fixing the time by which the Payor must pay that amount to the Dissenting Shareholder. At any time before the Court pronounces an order fixing the fair value of the applicable Dissenting Shares, such Dissenting Shareholder may enter an agreement with the Payor for the purchase of such Shares in the amount of the Offer to Purchase or otherwise. Any order of the Court may also contain direction in relation to the payment to the Dissenting Shareholder of all or part of the sum offered by the Payor for such Shares, the deposit of the certificate(s) or DRS Advice(s) representing such Shares and other matters.

If a Dissenting Shareholder strictly complied with the foregoing Dissent Rights requirements, but the Arrangement is not completed, the Payor will return to the Dissenting Shareholder the certificate(s) or DRS Advice(s) delivered to the Payor by the Dissenting Shareholder, if any.

On the earlier of (a) the Effective Time, (b) the making of an agreement between the Payor and the Dissenting Shareholder as to the payment to be made for the Dissenting Shares, or (c) the pronouncement of an order by the Court, the Dissenting Shareholder shall cease to have any rights as a Shareholder, other than the right to be paid the fair value of his, her or its Shares in an amount agreed to by the Payor and such Dissenting Shareholder or in the amount set forth in an order of the Court, as the case may be, which fair value shall be determined as of the close of business on the last Business Day before the day on which the applicable Arrangement Resolution was approved. Until any one of such events occurs, the Dissenting Shareholder may withdraw his, her or its dissent, or GMIN or Reunion Gold may rescind the applicable Arrangement Resolution and, in either event, the dissent proceedings shall be discontinued. If a Dissenting Shareholder fails to strictly comply with the Dissent Rights requirements, he, she or it will lose the Dissent Rights, the Payor will return to the Dissenting Shareholder the certificate(s) or DRS Advice(s) representing the Shares that were delivered to the Payor, if any, and if the Arrangement is completed, such Dissenting Shareholder will be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same terms as any other Shareholder.

If the Payor is not permitted to make a payment to a Dissenting Shareholder due to there being reasonable grounds for believing that the Payor would, after the payment, be unable to pay its liabilities as they become due, or the realizable value of the Payor's assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities, then the Payor shall, within 10 days of after the pronouncement of an order of the Court or the making of an agreement between the Payor and the Dissenting Shareholder as to the payment to be made for his, her or its Shares, notify each Dissenting Shareholder that it is unable to lawfully pay Dissenting Shareholders for their Shares.

Notwithstanding that a judgement has been given in favour of a Dissenting Shareholder by the Court, if the Payor is not permitted to make a payment to a Dissenting Shareholder for the reasons set forth above, the Dissenting Shareholder may, by written notice delivered to the Payor within 30 days after receiving the notice set forth in the preceding paragraph, withdraw his, her or its Dissent Notice, in which case the Payor is deemed to consent to the withdrawal and the Dissenting Shareholder is reinstated to his, her or its full rights as a Shareholder, failing which such Shareholder shall retain his, her or its status as a claimant against the Payor to be paid as soon as it is lawfully able to do so or, in a liquidation, to be ranked subordinate to the rights of creditors of the Payor, but in priority to non-Dissenting Shareholders.

Interests of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon at the GMIN Meeting

In considering the recommendations of the GMIN Board and the GMIN Special Committee, GMIN Shareholders should be aware that directors and executive officers of GMIN may have interests in the Arrangement that are, or may be, different from, or in addition to, the interests of the GMIN Shareholders. Other than the interests and benefits described below or elsewhere in this Circular, none of the directors or executive officers of GMIN or, to the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of GMIN, any of their respective associates or affiliates, has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise in any matter to be acted upon at the GMIN Meeting other than in connection with the Arrangement and the election of the directors of GMIN.

All benefits received, or to be received, by directors or executive officers of GMIN as a result of the Arrangement are, and will be, solely in connection with their services as directors or executive officers of GMIN. No benefit has been, or will be, conferred for the purpose of increasing the value of consideration payable to any such person for the GMIN Shares held by such persons and no consideration is, or will be, conditional on such person supporting the Arrangement.

As Executive Chair and Director of Reunion Gold and a Reunion Gold Securityholder, David A. Fennell has additional interests in the Arrangement that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of the GMIN Shareholders. See "The Arrangement – Interests of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon at the Reunion Gold Meeting".

GMIN Share Ownership

As of the GMIN Record Date, the directors and executive officers of GMIN, as a group, beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over, an aggregate of approximately 34,344,616 GMIN Shares, which represented approximately 7.6% of the issued and outstanding GMIN Shares on a non-diluted basis. All of the GMIN Shares held by such directors and executive officers of GMIN will be treated in the same fashion under the Arrangement as GMIN Shares held by all other GMIN Shareholders. In accordance with the Reunion Gold Voting Support Agreements, all directors and executive officers of GMIN intend to vote in favour of the GMIN Arrangement Resolution. See "The Arrangement – Voting Support Agreements" in this Circular.

GMIN Option Treatment

As of the GMIN Record Date, the directors and executive officers of GMIN, as a group, beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over, an aggregate of approximately 10,473,056 GMIN Options. The outstanding GMIN Options held by such directors and executive officers had exercise prices varying from \$0.66 to \$2.04 for these GMIN Options. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Arrangement, each GMIN Option that is outstanding at the Effective Time will be exchanged for one Replacement Option exercisable for the right to purchase that number of New GMIN Shares equal to the product of the GMIN Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of GMIN Shares subject to such Replacement Option, rounded down to the nearest whole New GMIN Share (with no fractional New GMIN Shares being issued) at an exercise price per GMIN Share (on an as-adjusted basis in connection with the exchange of the underlying GMIN Option) equal to the exercise price per GMIN Share divided by the GMIN Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest penny.

The Replacement Options issued in exchange for GMIN Options will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the GMIN Options for which such Replacement Options are exchanged, as adjusted to take into account the Arrangement, pursuant to the terms of the applicable GMIN Incentive Plan and such other agreements providing for additional terms and conditions in respect of such GMIN Options. See "The Arrangement – Details of the Arrangement – Treatment of Certain Convertible Securities" in this Circular.

GMIN RSU and DSU Treatment

As of the GMIN Record Date, the directors and executive officers of GMIN, as a group, beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over, an aggregate of approximately 836,203 GMIN RSUs and 900,000 GMIN DSUs. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Arrangement, each holder of a GMIN RSU or a GMIN DSU, to the extent the holder of such GMIN RSU or GMIN DSU has not exercised, or had exercised, its rights of acquisition thereunder prior to the Effective Time, shall, upon the exercise of such rights, be entitled to be issued and receive, at the discretion of GMIN, such number of New GMIN Shares as is equal to the GMIN Exchange Ratio for each GMIN Share that was issuable upon due exercise of the GMIN RSU or GMIN DSU, as applicable, immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Each GMIN RSU and GMIN DSU shall continue to be governed by and be subject to the terms of the applicable GMIN Incentive Plan, subject to any addendum or grant or vesting documents, as applicable, issued or provided by New GMIN to holders of the GMIN RSUs and GMIN DSUs, as applicable, to facilitate the settlement of the GMIN RSUs and GMIN DSUs, as applicable.

GMIN Warrant Treatment

As of the GMIN Record Date, the directors and executive officers of GMIN, as a group, beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over, an aggregate of approximately 3,180,156 GMIN Warrants. Each of the outstanding GMIN Warrants held by such directors and executive officers entitles its holder to purchase one GMIN Share at a price of \$1.90 until September 15, 2024. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Arrangement, each holder of a GMIN Warrant, to the extent the holder of such GMIN Warrant has not exercised its rights of acquisition thereunder prior to the Effective Time, shall, upon the exercise of such rights, be entitled to be issued and to receive upon payment of the original exercise price as set forth in the Warrant Documentation governing such GMIN Warrant as adjusted and in accordance with the Warrant Documentation governing such GMIN Warrant, such number of New GMIN Shares as is equal to the GMIN Exchange Ratio for each GMIN Share that was issuable upon due exercise of the GMIN Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time.

The GMIN Warrants shall continue to be governed by and be subject to the terms of the Warrant Documentation governing the GMIN Warrants, subject to any supplemental indenture, warrant certificate or exercise documents, as applicable, issued or provided by New GMIN to holders of the GMIN Warrants to facilitate the exercise of the GMIN Warrants and payment of the corresponding portion of the exercise price therefor. See "The Arrangement – Details of the Arrangement – Treatment of Certain Convertible Securities" in this Circular.

The following table sets forth the names and positions of the directors and executive officers of GMIN as of the GMIN Record Date; the number of GMIN Shares, GMIN Options, GMIN RSUs, GMIN DSUs and GMIN Warrants owned or over which control or direction was exercised by each such director or executive officer of GMIN and, where known after reasonable enquiry, by their respective associates or affiliates, prior to the Effective Time and the number of New GMIN Shares and Replacement Options to be issued following the Effective Time. The GMIN RSUs, GMIN DSUs and GMIN Warrants held by such directors will be adjusted as described above under "The Arrangement – Details of the Arrangement – Arrangement Steps" but will not be exchanged or replaced.

Interests of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon at the Reunion Gold Meeting

In considering the recommendations of the Reunion Gold Board and Reunion Gold Special Committee, Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders should be aware that directors and executive officers of Reunion Gold may have interests in the Arrangement that are, or may be, different from, or in addition to, the interests of the Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders. Other than the interests and benefits described below, none of the directors or executive officers of Reunion Gold or, to the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of Reunion Gold, any of their respective associates or affiliates has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise in any matter to be acted upon at the Reunion Gold Meeting other than in connection with the Arrangement, the election of the directors of Reunion Gold.

All benefits received, or to be received, by directors or executive officers of Reunion Gold as a result of the Arrangement are, and will be, solely in connection with their services as directors or executive officers of Reunion Gold. No benefit has been, or will be, conferred for the purpose of increasing the value of consideration payable to any such person for the Reunion Gold Shares held by such persons and no consideration is, or will be, conditional on such person supporting the Arrangement.

Reunion Gold Share Ownership

As of the Reunion Gold Record Date, the directors and executive officers of Reunion Gold, as a group, beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over, an aggregate of approximately 76,948,178 Reunion Gold Shares, which represented approximately 6.2% of the issued and outstanding Reunion Gold Shares on a non-diluted basis. All of the Reunion Gold Shares held by such directors and executive officers of Reunion Gold will be treated in the same fashion under the Arrangement as Reunion Gold Shares held by all other Reunion Gold Shareholders. In accordance with the GMIN Voting Support Agreements, all directors and executive officers of Reunion Gold intend to vote in favour of the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution. See "The Arrangement – Details of the Arrangement – Treatment of Certain Convertible Securities" in this Circular.

Reunion Gold Warrant Treatment

As of the Reunion Gold Record Date, the directors and executive officers of Reunion Gold, as a group, beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over, an aggregate of approximately 844,998 Reunion Gold Warrants. The outstanding Reunion Gold Warrants held by such directors and executive officers entitles its holder to purchase one Reunion Gold Share at a price of \$0.39 until July 8, 2024, being the Reunion Gold Warrant Expiry Date. As the Effective Date will occur after the Reunion Gold Warrant Expiry Date, no Reunion Gold Warrants are expected to be outstanding on the Effective Date. See "The Arrangement – Details of the Arrangement – Treatment of Certain Convertible Securities" in this Circular.

Reunion Gold Option Treatment

As of the Reunion Gold Record Date, the directors and executive officers of Reunion Gold, as a group, beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over, an aggregate of approximately 44,400,000 Reunion Gold Options. The outstanding Reunion Gold Options held by such directors and executive officers had exercise prices varying from \$0.08 to \$0.51 for each Reunion Gold Option. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Arrangement, each Reunion Gold Option that is outstanding at the Effective Time will be exchanged, as an initial step in the Plan of Arrangement, for a Replacement Reunion Gold Option exercisable for the right to purchase a Reunion Gold Class A Share and a Replacement Spinco Option exercisable for the right to purchase one Fractional Spinco Share. In accordance with the terms of the Reunion Gold Share Option Plan, the exercise price of Replacement Reunion Gold Options and Replacement Spinco Options will be adjusted to reflect the proportionate value of the Reunion Gold Class A Share underlying the Replacement Reunion Gold Option and Fractional Spinco Share underlying the Replacement Spinco Option being issued, respectively, as of the value of the Reunion Gold Share underlying the Reunion Gold Option being exchanged.

Each Replacement Reunion Gold Option will then be exchanged for one Replacement Option exercisable for the right to purchase that number of New GMIN Shares equal to the product of the Reunion Gold Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of Reunion Gold Class A Shares subject to such Replacement Reunion Gold Option, at an exercise price per Reunion Gold Class A Share (on an as-adjusted basis in connection with the exchange of the underlying Reunion Gold Option) equal to the exercise price per Reunion Gold Class A Share divided by the Reunion Gold Exchange Ratio.

The Replacement Options issued in exchange for Replacement Reunion Gold Options will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Replacement Reunion Gold Option for which such Replacement Options are exchanged, as adjusted to take into account the Arrangement, including the acceleration of vesting of all unvested Replacement Reunion Gold Options, pursuant to the terms of the Reunion Gold Share Option Plan and such other agreements providing for additional terms and conditions in respect of such Reunion Gold Options. As a result of the Arrangement, each Replacement Option issued in exchange for Replacement Reunion Gold Options will be deemed to be unconditionally vested and exercisable as a result of the change of control of Reunion Gold. In addition, notwithstanding any provisions under the terms of the Reunion Gold Share Option Plan in respect of the term to expiry of vested options in the event of the termination or resignation of a holder thereof, each Replacement Option issued in respect of Replacement Reunion Gold Options will continue to be exercisable for a term until the earlier of (i) the original ultimate expiry date of such Replacement Reunion Gold Option, and (ii) the later of 12 months immediately following the Effective Time and such other term of expiry as is provided under any applicable agreement between such holders of Replacement Reunion Gold Options and Reunion Gold. See "The Arrangement – Details of the Arrangement – Treatment of Certain Convertible Securities" in this Circular.

Each Replacement Spinco Option will be issued pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement with such terms and conditions as set forth in the Plan of Arrangement but otherwise that will be the same as the Reunion Gold Option for which it is exchanged pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement. The Replacement Spinco Options are not intended to be governed by the terms of the Spinco Option Plan which, assuming conditional acceptance by the TSX-V of the listing of the Spinco Shares, will be adopted by Spinco, subject to receipt of the Spinco Option Plan Resolution Shareholder Approval. See "Executive Compensation – Spinco Option Plan" in "Appendix K-1 – Information Concerning Spinco" to this Circular for further information.

Canadian Securities Law Matters

This section contains a brief summary of the Canadian Securities Law considerations applying to the transactions contemplated herein not discussed elsewhere in this Circular. The following discussion is only a general overview of certain requirements of Canadian Securities Laws that may be applicable to Securityholders. All Securityholders are urged to obtain legal advice to determine the Canadian conditions and restrictions applicable to trades in the securities issuable pursuant to the Arrangement. To the extent that a Securityholder resides outside Canada, the securities received by such person may be subject to certain additional transfer restrictions under applicable Laws. All such Securityholders residing outside Canada are urged to obtain legal advice regarding such transfer restrictions.

Status Under Canadian Securities Laws

GMIN is a reporting issuer in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. The GMIN Shares are currently listed and posted for trading on the TSX under the symbol "GMIN" and quoted on the OTCQX under the symbol "GMINF". If the Arrangement becomes effective and, as a result, GMIN becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of New GMIN, it is anticipated that the GMIN Shares will be delisted from the TSX and cease to be quoted on the OTCQX and GMIN will apply to the applicable Canadian Securities Authorities to have GMIN cease to be a reporting issuer, in each case as of the Effective Date.

Reunion Gold is a reporting issuer in each of the provinces of Canada, except Québec. The Reunion Gold Shares are currently listed and posted for trading on the TSX-V under the symbol "RGD" and quoted on the OTCQX under the symbol "RGDFF". If the Arrangement becomes effective and, as a result, Reunion Gold becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of New GMIN, it is anticipated that the Reunion Gold Shares will be delisted from the TSX-V and cease to be quoted on the OTCQX and Reunion Gold will apply to the applicable Canadian Securities Authorities to have Reunion Gold cease to be a reporting issuer, in each case as of the Effective Date.

Neither New GMIN nor Spinco is currently a reporting issuer in any province or territory of Canada. It is expected that New GMIN and Spinco will each become a reporting issuer on the Effective Date. For additional information, see "The Arrangement – Details of the Arrangement – Stock Exchange Approvals" in this Circular.

Distribution and Resale of New GMIN Shares and Spinco Shares under Canadian Securities Laws

The issuance of New GMIN Shares pursuant to the Arrangement will be made pursuant to exemptions from the prospectus requirements contained in applicable Canadian Securities Laws. Under applicable Canadian Securities Laws, the New GMIN Shares issued pursuant to the Arrangement may be resold in Canada without hold period restrictions, provided that (i) New GMIN is a reporting issuer in a jurisdiction of Canada for the four months immediately preceding the trade (pursuant to Section 2.9 of NI 45-102, upon completion of the Arrangement, New GMIN will be deemed for this purpose to have been a reporting issuer from the time that GMIN or Reunion Gold became a reporting issuer); (ii) the trade is not a "control distribution" as defined under NI 45-102; (iii) no unusual effort is made to prepare the market or to create a demand for the New GMIN Shares; (iv) no extraordinary commission or consideration is paid to a person in respect of such sale; and (v) if the selling securityholder is an "insider" or "officer" of New GMIN (as such terms are defined by applicable Canadian Securities Laws), the insider or officer has no reasonable grounds to believe that New GMIN is in default under applicable Canadian Securities Laws. In addition, unless otherwise exempted, existing hold periods on any Shares in effect prior to the Effective Date will be carried forward to the New GMIN Shares issued in exchange for such Shares pursuant to the Arrangement.

The issuance of Spinco Shares pursuant to the Arrangement will be made pursuant to exemptions from the prospectus requirements contained in applicable Canadian Securities Laws. Under applicable Canadian Securities Laws, the Spinco Shares issued pursuant to the Arrangement may be resold in Canada without hold period restrictions, provided (i) that Spinco is a reporting issuer in a jurisdiction of Canada for the four months immediately preceding the trade (pursuant to Section 2.9 of NI 45-102, upon completion of the Arrangement, Spinco will be deemed for this purpose to have been a reporting issuer from the time that Reunion Gold became a reporting issuer); (ii) the trade is not a "control distribution" as defined under NI 45-102; (iii) no unusual effort is made to prepare the market or to create a demand for the Spinco Shares; (iv) no extraordinary commission or consideration is paid to a person in respect of such sale; and (v) if the selling securityholder is an "insider" or "officer" of Spinco (as such terms are defined by applicable Canadian Securities Laws), the insider or officer has no reasonable grounds to believe that Spinco is in default under applicable Canadian Securities Laws. In addition, unless otherwise exempted, existing hold periods on any Shares in effect prior to the Effective Date will be carried forward to the Spinco Shares issued in exchange for such Shares pursuant to the Arrangement.

MI 61-101 Determinations

Overview

The Parties are subject to MI 61-101, which governs certain transactions that raise the potential for conflicts of interest, specifically "issuer bids", "insider bids", "related party transactions" and "business combinations" (as defined in MI 61-101). MI 61-101 is intended to ensure that all securityholders are treated in a manner that is fair and that is perceived to be fair with respect to these transactions.

Related Party Transaction

A related party transaction includes, among other things, for an issuer, a transaction between the issuer and a person that is a "related party" (as defined in MI 61-101) of the issuer at the time the transaction is agreed to, as a consequence of which, either through the transaction itself or together with connected transactions, the issuer directly or indirectly issues a security to the related party. Under MI 61-101, a "connected transaction" means a transaction that has at least one party in common, directly or indirectly, other than transactions related solely to services as an employee, director or consultant, and (i) that is negotiated or completed at approximately the same time, or (ii) the completion of which is conditional on the completion of the other transaction.

MI 61-101 stipulates that a related party transaction may not be carried out unless the issuer complies with the formal valuation requirements and obtains "minority approval" (as defined in MI 61-101) of the transaction, unless an exemption is available or discretionary relief is granted by the applicable securities regulatory authorities. If minority approval is required, the related party transaction must be approved by a majority of the votes cast, excluding the votes attached to securities beneficially owned, or over which control or direction is exercised, by (i) "interested parties" (as defined in MI 61-101), (ii) any related party to such interested party within the meaning of MI 61-101 (subject to the exceptions set forth therein), and (iii) any person that is a joint actor with a person referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii). Under MI 61-101, interested parties include, in respect of a transaction that constitutes a related party transaction, any related party of the issuer that is party to the transaction (unless it is a party only in its capacity as a holder of affected securities and is treated identically to the general body of holders in Canada of securities of the same class on a per security basis) or is entitled to receive, directly or indirectly, as a consequence of the transaction, a "collateral benefit" (as defined in MI 61-101).

In respect of a related party transaction, the formal valuation requirements require, among other things, the preparation of a formal valuation of the subject matter of the related party transaction and any non-cash consideration offered in connection therewith, and the inclusion of a summary of the valuation in the proxy circular.

Business Combination

A business combination for an issuer includes an arrangement as a consequence of which the interest of a holder of an equity security of the issuer may be terminated without the holder's consent, regardless of whether the equity security is replaced with another security, in circumstances where a person that is a related party of the issuer at the time the transaction is agreed to (i) would, as a consequence of the transaction, directly or indirectly acquire the issuer or the business of the issuer, or combine with the issuer, through an amalgamation, arrangement or otherwise, whether alone or with "joint actors" (as defined in MI 61-101), (ii) is a party to any connected transaction to the transaction, or (iii) is entitled to receive, directly or indirectly, as a consequence of the transaction, (A) consideration per equity security that is not identical in amount and form to the entitlement of the general body of holders in Canada of securities of the same class, or (B) a collateral benefit.

Under MI 61-101, a collateral benefit includes any benefit that a related party of the issuer is entitled to receive as a consequence of a transaction, including, without limitation, an increase in salary, a lump sum payment, a payment for surrendering securities or other enhancements in benefits related to services as an employee, director or consultant of the issuer or another person. MI 61-101 excludes from the meaning of collateral benefit a payment per security that is identical in amount and form to the entitlement of the general body of holders in Canada of securities of the same class, as well as certain benefits to a related party received solely in connection with the related party's services as an employee or director of an issuer, of an affiliated entity of such issuer or of a successor to the business of such issuer where: (a) the benefit is not conferred for the purpose, in whole or in part, of increasing the value of the consideration paid to the related party for securities relinquished under the transaction; (b) the conferring of the benefit is not, by its terms, conditional on the related party supporting the transaction in any manner; (c) full particulars of the benefit are disclosed in the disclosure document for the transaction; and (d) either (i) at the time the transaction is agreed to, the related party and his or her associated entities beneficially own, or exercise control or direction over, less than 1% of the outstanding securities of each class of equity securities of the issuer, or (ii) the related party discloses to an independent committee of the issuer the amount of consideration that the related party expects to be beneficially entitled to receive, under the terms of the transaction, in exchange for the equity securities the related party beneficially owns and the independent committee, acting in good faith, determines that the value of the benefit, net of any offsetting costs to the related party, is less than 5% of the value of the consideration the related party will receive pursuant to the terms of the transaction for the equity securities beneficially owned by the related party, and the independent committee's determination is disclosed in the disclosure document for the transaction.

If the Arrangement is a business combination for either Party, the applicable Arrangement Resolution will require minority approval in accordance with MI 61-101. If minority approval is required, in respect of a transaction that constitutes a business combination, the votes attached to securities beneficially owned or over which control or direction is exercised by any related party of the issuer that is a party to any connected transaction to the business combination or is entitled to receive, directly or indirectly, as a consequence of the transaction, consideration per affected security (as defined in MI 61-101) that is not identical in amount and form to the entitlement of the general body of holders in Canada of securities of the same class or a collateral benefit will be excluded.

MI 61-101 requires, in certain circumstances, that an issuer carrying out a business combination obtain a formal valuation prepared by an independent valuator. Specifically, an issuer shall obtain a formal valuation for a business combination if an interested party would, as a consequence of the transaction, directly or indirectly, acquire the issuer or the business of the issuer, or combine with the issuer through an amalgamation, arrangement or otherwise, whether alone or with joint actors, or if an interested party is a party to any connected transaction to the business combination, if the connected transaction is a related party transaction for which the issuer is required to obtain a formal valuation.

GMIN

La Mancha beneficially owns, or exercises control or direction over, more than 10% of the issued and outstanding GMIN Shares (i.e., approximately 25%) and, as a result, is a related party of GMIN under MI 61-101. For this reason, the issuance of GMIN Shares to La Mancha in connection with the La Mancha Private Placement is considered a related party transaction for the purposes of MI 61-101.

GMIN is exempt from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 with respect to related party transactions in connection with the issuance of GMIN Shares to La Mancha under the La Mancha Private Placement as neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, such issuance of GMIN Shares exceeds 25% of GMIN's market capitalization as at the date of the La Mancha Subscription Agreement.

The GMIN Special Committee and the GMIN Board (with the Non-Participating Directors having recused themselves due to their conflict of interest) recognize that the issuance of GMIN Shares to La Mancha, a related party, pursuant to the La Mancha Private Placement may be considered a connected transaction to the Arrangement by the Canadian Securities Authorities. As such, and considering that the Arrangement may result in the interest of holders of equity securities of GMIN being terminated without their consent, the Arrangement would be considered a business combination and therefore subject to the minority shareholder approval requirements under MI 61-101, resulting in any GMIN Shares beneficially owned, or over which control or direction is exercised, by La Mancha or its related parties or joint actors being excluded from voting for purposes of determining whether such minority approval has been obtained. To the knowledge of GMIN and its directors and senior officers, after reasonable inquiry, 111,879,265 GMIN Shares will therefore be excluded for the purpose of the minority approval requirement. See "General Proxy Matters – GMIN – Voting Securities and Principal Holders Thereof" in this Circular.

Following disclosure by each of the directors and executive officers to the GMIN Special Committee of any benefit that each of the directors and executive officers may be entitled to receive as a consequence of the Arrangement, if applicable, as set forth under "The Arrangement – Interests of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon at the GMIN Meeting" in this Circular, GMIN has considered whether any of these matters may constitute a collateral benefit for purposes of MI 61-101 and determined that none of the directors and executive officers are entitled to a collateral benefit for the purposes of MI 61-101.

The directors and officers of GMIN may have interests in the Arrangement that are, or may be, different from, or in addition to, the interests of other GMIN Shareholders. The GMIN Special Committee and the GMIN Board (with the Non-Participating Directors having recused themselves due to their conflict of interest) are aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, when recommending approval of the Arrangement and the GMIN Private Placements by GMIN Shareholders. See "The Arrangement – Interests of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon at the GMIN Meeting" in the Circular.

GMIN is not subject to the formal valuation requirements under MI 61-101 with respect to business combinations because no interested party would, as a consequence of the Arrangement, directly or indirectly, acquire GMIN or the business of GMIN, or combine with GMIN through an amalgamation, arrangement or otherwise, whether alone or with joint actors, and the connected transaction causing the Arrangement to be considered a business combination, namely the La Mancha Private Placement, is itself exempted from the formal valuation requirements with respect to related party transactions under MI 61-101, as described above.

Reunion Gold

In connection with the Arrangement, outstanding Reunion Gold Options will be treated as set forth under "The Arrangement – Details of the Arrangement" in this Circular, and certain officers of Reunion Gold are entitled to certain rights upon and/or following a change in control as set forth under "The ArrangementInterests of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon at the Reunion Gold Meeting" in this Circular and Reunion Gold has considered whether any of these matters may constitute a collateral benefit for purposes of MI 61-101 such that the Arrangement would therefore constitute a business combination under MI 61-101. Following disclosure by each of the directors and executive officers to the Reunion Gold Special Committee of the number of Reunion Gold Shares held by them and the benefits or payments that they are expected to receive pursuant to the Arrangement, the Reunion Gold Special Committee has determined that the aforementioned benefits were not conferred for the purposes, in whole or in part, of increasing the value of the consideration paid to the

related parties for their Reunion Gold Shares and are not conditional on the related parties supporting the Arrangement in any manner, and, with the exception of Mr. David A. Fennell, at the time of the entering into of the Arrangement Agreement, none of the related parties either exercised control or direction over, or beneficially owned, more than 1% of the Reunion Gold Shares, as calculated in accordance with MI 61-101. Mr. David A. Fennell may be considered to be receiving a "collateral benefit" as a result of the acceleration of his outstanding Reunion Gold Option and certain other benefits he is entitled to upon and/or following the change of control of Reunion Gold as set forth under "The ArrangementInterests of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon at the Reunion Gold Meeting – Change of Control Benefits" in this Circular.

Accordingly, the Arrangement is considered to be a business combination in respect of Reunion Gold, and as a result, minority approval of the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution is required. The Reunion Gold Shares held by Mr. David A. Fennell and his "related parties" and "joint actors" will be excluded for the purpose of determining if minority approval of the Arrangement is obtained. To the knowledge of Mr. David A. Fennell, Reunion Gold and its directors and senior officers, after reasonable inquiry 64,438,511 Reunion Gold Common Shares will, therefore, be excluded for the purpose of the minority approval requirement.

Reunion Gold is not required to obtain a formal valuation under MI 61-101 as no interested party of Reunion Gold is, as a consequence of the Arrangement, directly or indirectly acquiring Reunion Gold or the business of Reunion Gold or combining with Reunion Gold through an amalgamation, arrangement or otherwise, whether alone or with joint actors and neither the Arrangement nor the transactions contemplated thereunder is a related party transaction for which Reunion Gold would be required to obtain a formal valuation.

Bona Fide Prior Offers and Prior Valuations

During the 24 months prior to the entering into of the Arrangement Agreement, except as disclosed herein, neither Party has received a bona fide prior offer related to the subject matter of the Arrangement or that is otherwise relevant to the Arrangement.

During the 24 months prior to the entering of the Arrangement Agreement, to the knowledge of the Parties, no "prior valuations" (as defined in MI 61-101) have been conducted with respect to either Party.

U.S. Securities Law Matters

Status Under U.S. Securities Laws

The following discussion is a general overview of certain requirements of federal U.S. Securities Laws that may be applicable to Securityholders. All Securityholders are urged to seek legal advice to ensure that any subsequent resale of the New GMIN securities and Spinco securities complies with the requirements of applicable Securities Laws. Further information applicable to Securityholders in the United States is disclosed above under the heading "Joint Management Information Circular – Information for United States Securityholders" in this Circular.

The following discussion does not address the Canadian Securities Laws that will apply to the issue of the New GMIN securities and Spinco securities or the resale of these securities by Securityholders under applicable Canadian Securities Laws. Securityholders reselling their New GMIN securities and Spinco securities in Canada must comply with applicable Canadian Securities Laws, as outlined elsewhere in this Circular. See "The Arrangement – Canadian Securities Law Matters" in this Circular.

Exemption from the Registration Requirements of the U.S. Securities Act

The New GMIN Shares and Spinco Shares to be issued to Reunion Gold Shareholders in exchange for their Reunion Gold Shares (including the Class A Reunion Gold Shares and Class B Reunion Gold Shares issued in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement), the New GMIN Shares to be issued to GMIN Shareholders in exchange for their GMIN Shares, the Replacement Options and Replacement Spinco Options to be issued to holders of Reunion Gold Options in exchange for their Reunion Gold Options (including Replacement Reunion Gold Options issued in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement), and the Replacement Options to be issued to holders of GMIN Options in exchange for their GMIN Options, all pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States, and will be issued in reliance upon the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption and similar exemptions provided under the Securities Laws of each state of the United States in which Securityholders reside. The Section 3(a)(10) Exemption exempts from registration the issuance of a security that is issued in exchange for one or more outstanding securities where the terms and conditions of such issuance and exchange are approved, after a hearing upon the fairness of such terms and conditions at which all persons to whom it is proposed to issue securities in such exchange have the right to appear and receive timely and adequate notice thereof, by a court or by a Governmental Entity expressly authorized by Law to grant such approval. Accordingly, the Final Order will, if granted, constitute a basis for the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption with respect to the New GMIN Shares, Spinco Shares, Replacement Options and Replacement Spinco Options issued and exchanged in connection with the Plan of Arrangement. See "The Arrangement – Procedure for the Arrangement Becoming Effective – Court Approvals" above.

Resales of New GMIN Shares and Spinco Shares after the Effective Date

The manner in which a Shareholder may resell the New GMIN Shares and Spinco Shares, as applicable, received on completion of the Plan of Arrangement will depend on whether such holder is, at the time of such resale, an "affiliate" of New GMIN or Spinco, as applicable, after the Effective Date, or has been such an "affiliate" at any time within 90 days immediately preceding the Effective Date.

As defined in Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act, an "affiliate" of an issuer is a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, that issuer. Typically, persons who are executive officers, directors or 10% (or greater) holders of an issuer are considered to be its "affiliates", as well as any other person or group that actually controls the issuer.

Persons who are affiliates of New GMIN or Spinco, as applicable, after the Effective Date, or within 90 days immediately preceding the Effective Date may not sell their New GMIN Shares and Spinco Shares, as applicable, that they receive in connection with the Plan of Arrangement in the absence of registration under the U.S. Securities Act, unless an exemption or exclusion from such registration is available, such as the exemption provided by Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act or the exclusion provided by Rule 904 of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act ("Regulation S").

Rule 144

In general, Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act provides that persons who are affiliates of New GMIN or Spinco, as applicable, after the Effective Date or, at any time during the 90 day period immediately prior to the Effective Date, will be entitled to sell, during any three-month period, a portion of the New GMIN Shares and Spinco Shares that they receive in connection with the Plan of Arrangement, provided that the number of each such securities sold does not exceed the greater of one percent of the number of then outstanding securities of such class or, if such securities are listed on a United States securities exchange (which neither New GMIN nor Spinco intends to seek at this time), the average weekly trading volume of such securities during the four-week period preceding the date of sale, subject to specified restrictions on manner of sale, notice requirements, aggregation rules and the availability of current public information about New GMIN or Spinco, as applicable.

Regulation S

Subject to certain limitations, all persons who are affiliates of New GMIN or Spinco, as applicable, after the Effective Date or, at any time during the 90-day period immediately prior to the Effective Date, may immediately resell such securities outside the U.S., without registration under the U.S. Securities Act, pursuant to Regulation S.

Generally, subject to certain limitations, holders of New GMIN Shares and Spinco Shares who are affiliates of New GMIN or Spinco, as applicable, solely by virtue of being an executive officer and/or director of the applicable issuer and who pay only the usual and customary broker's commission in connection with the transaction, may resell their New GMIN Shares or Spinco Shares, as applicable, in an "offshore transaction" (which would generally include a sale through the TSX or the TSX-V) if no offer is made to a person in the United States, the sale is not prearranged with a buyer in the United States, neither the seller, nor any affiliate of the seller, nor any person acting on any of their behalf engages in any "directed selling efforts" in the United States, and subject to certain additional conditions. For the purposes of Regulation S, "directed selling efforts" means "any activity undertaken for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning the market in the U.S. for any of the securities being offered" in the resale transaction. Under Regulation S, certain additional restrictions and qualifications are applicable to holders of New GMIN Shares or Spinco Shares who are affiliates of New GMIN or Spinco, as applicable, other than by virtue of being an officer and/or director or the applicable corporation.

The foregoing discussion is only a general overview of the requirements of U.S. Securities Laws for the resale of the New GMIN Shares and Spinco Shares received pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement. All holders of New GMIN Shares and Spinco Shares are urged to seek legal advice prior to any resale of such securities to ensure that the resale is made in compliance with the requirements of applicable Securities Laws.

Issuance, Exercise and Resales of Replacement Options and Replacement Spinco Options

The issuance of the Replacement Options and Replacement Spinco Options to holders of Reunion Gold Options and holders of GMIN Options, as applicable, will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States and will be issued in reliance upon the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption, and similar exemptions provided under the securities laws of each state of the United States in which such optionholders reside.

The Replacement Options and Replacement Spinco Options are not generally transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and may be exercised during the lifetime of the optionee only by the optionee pursuant to an exemption or exclusion from registration under the U.S. Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

The Section 3(a)(10) Exemption does not exempt the issuance of securities issued upon the exercise of securities that were previously issued pursuant to the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption. Therefore, the New GMIN Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Replacement Options following the Effective Date, and the Spinco Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Replacement Spinco Options following the Effective Date, may not be issued in reliance upon the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption and such options may be exercised only pursuant to an available exemption or exclusion from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Prior to the issuance of New GMIN Shares or Spinco Shares pursuant to any such exercise, New GMIN or Spinco, as applicable, may require the delivery of an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to New GMIN or Spinco, as applicable, held by Securityholders in the United States to the effect that the issuance of such New GMIN Shares or Spinco Shares, as applicable, does not require registration under the U.S. Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. Any New GMIN Shares or Spinco Shares, as applicable, issued upon exercise of the Replacement Options and Replacement Spinco Options, as applicable, pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act will be "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act and will be subject to restrictions on resales imposed by the U.S. Securities Act.

The foregoing discussion is only a general overview of certain requirements of federal U.S. Securities Laws applicable to the issuance, exercise and resale of Replacement Options and Replacement Spinco Options received upon completion of the Arrangement. All holders of such securities are urged to seek legal advice to ensure that the exercise of their securities complies with the requirements of applicable Securities Laws.

Stock Exchange Matters

Pursuant to Sections 611(c) and 611(g) of the TSX Company Manual, a listed issuer is generally required to obtain shareholder approval in connection with an acquisition transaction where the number of securities issued or issuable in payment of the purchase price for the acquisition and any related private placement exceeds 25% of the number of securities of the listed issuer which are outstanding, on a non-diluted basis, prior to the date of closing of the transaction. As part of the Arrangement, up to 105,441,431 New GMIN Shares will be issued comprised of (i) up to 92,317,569 New GMIN Shares to be issued by New GMIN as payment for the acquisition of the outstanding Reunion Gold Shares held by Reunion Gold Shareholders (other than Reunion Gold Shareholders validly exercising Dissent Rights), (ii) up to 4,055,312 New GMIN Shares issuable on exercise of Replacement Options issued to Reunion Gold Optionholders, and (iii) subject to and conditional upon the GMIN Private Placements Resolution Shareholder Approval being obtained, up to 9,068,550 New GMIN Shares issuable in consideration of the GMIN Shares issued pursuant to the GMIN Private Placements. The 105,441,431 New GMIN Shares to be issued in connection with the Arrangement and the GMIN Private Placements represents approximately 93.5% of the GMIN Shares outstanding before giving effect to such issuance, on a non-diluted basis and taking into account the GMIN Exchange Ratio. The TSX will generally not require further securityholder approval for the issuance of up to 24,093,220 additional New GMIN Shares as a result of any increase in the Consideration payable pursuant to the Arrangement, such number of additional New GMIN Shares representing 25% of the number of securities to be approved by GMIN Shareholders at the GMIN Meeting in respect of the Arrangement.

As a result, to become effective, the Arrangement will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by GMIN Shareholders, voting in-person or by proxy at the GMIN Meeting, as required by the TSX.

Pursuant to the Section 607(e) of the TSX Company Manual, the price per listed security for any private placement must not be lower than the Market Price (as such term is defined in the TSX Company Manual) less the maximum allowable applicable discount. Since the Subscription Price was determined with reference to the trading price of the GMIN Shares prior to the public announcement of the Arrangement, the Subscription Price is deemed by the TSX to be less than the Market Price less the maximum allowable applicable discount and must therefore be approved by GMIN Shareholders, other than GMIN Shareholders participating directly or indirectly in the GMIN Private Placements and such security holders' associates and affiliates.

Accordingly, the GMIN Private Placements Resolution requires the GMIN Private Placements Resolution Shareholder Approval, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the GMIN Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the GMIN Meeting, excluding the votes attached to the GMIN Shares held by La Mancha and Franco-Nevada and their associates and affiliates, pursuant to Section 607(e) of the TSX Company Manual.

SUMMARY OF MATERIAL AGREEMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE ARRANGEMENT

Arrangement Agreement

The Arrangement will be carried out pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement. The following is a summary of the principal terms of the Arrangement Agreement. This summary does not purport to be complete and may not contain all of the information about the Arrangement Agreement that is important to Securityholders. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Arrangement Agreement, copies of which are available under the Parties' respective SEDAR+ profiles at www.sedarplus.ca, and to the Plan of Arrangement, which is attached as Schedule A to the Arrangement Agreement and attached as "Appendix C – Plan of Arrangement" to this Circular. The rights and obligations of the Arrangement Agreement Parties are governed by the express terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement and not by this summary or any other information contained in this Circular. All references to Sections and Schedules in this section are to the corresponding Sections and Schedules of the Arrangement Agreement.

On April 22, 2024, GMIN, Reunion Gold and Spinco entered into the Arrangement Agreement, pursuant to which the Arrangement Agreement Parties agreed that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement, the Parties would implement the Arrangement, pursuant to which, among other things, New GMIN would acquire all of the issued and outstanding Shares. Effective as of June 7, 2024, the Arrangement Agreement was amended by the Arrangement Agreement Parties to provide for certain amendments of an administrative nature required to better give effect to the implementation of the Plan of Arrangement, including the addition of the change of name of GMIN and New GMIN in the sequence of the steps involved in the Plan of Arrangement. As a result of the Arrangement:

  • for each GMIN Share held, GMIN Shareholders will receive such number of New GMIN Shares as is equal to the GMIN Exchange Ratio and, following completion of the capital reorganization of Reunion Gold, for each Reunion Gold Class A Share or Reunion Gold Class B Share held, as applicable, Reunion Gold Shareholders will receive such number of New GMIN Shares as is equal to the Reunion Gold Exchange Ratio and a Fractional Spinco Share;
  • each holder of a Reunion Gold Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be exchanged for (a) a Replacement Reunion Gold Option and a Replacement Spinco Option, such that, for each Reunion Gold Share that a holder would have been entitled to acquire pursuant to a Reunion Gold Option, the holder will instead be entitled to acquire one Reunion Gold Class A Share pursuant to the corresponding Replacement Reunion Gold Option and a Fractional Spinco Share pursuant to the corresponding Replacement Spinco Option;
  • each Replacement Reunion Gold Option issued to a holder of Reunion Gold Options pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement and each GMIN Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be assumed by New GMIN and exchanged immediately for a Replacement Option to purchase that number of New GMIN Shares equal to the product of the Reunion Gold Exchange Ratio or the GMIN Exchange Ratio, as applicable, multiplied by the number of Reunion Gold Class A Shares or GMIN Shares subject to such Replacement Reunion Gold Option or GMIN Option, respectively, rounded down to the nearest whole share (with no fractional New GMIN Shares being issued);

  • each holder of an unexercised GMIN Warrant will, upon the exercise of such rights, be entitled to be issued and receive upon payment of the original exercise price as set forth in such GMIN Warrant, as adjusted and in accordance with the terms of the applicable Warrant Documentation, such number of New GMIN Shares as is equal to the GMIN Exchange Ratio for each GMIN Share that was issuable upon due exercise of the GMIN Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, such that upon the exercise of any GMIN Warrants following the Effective Time, New GMIN shall issue that number of New GMIN Shares as may be required to satisfy the exercise of such GMIN Warrants;

  • each holder of an unexercised Reunion Gold Warrant, will, upon the exercise of such rights, be entitled to be issued and receive upon payment of the original exercise price as set forth in such Reunion Gold Warrant, as adjusted and in accordance with the terms of such Reunion Gold Warrant: (A) such number of New GMIN Shares as is equal to the Reunion Gold Exchange Ratio for each Reunion Gold Share that was issuable upon due exercise of the Reunion Gold Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (B) a Fractional Spinco Share for each Reunion Gold Share that was issuable upon due exercise of such Reunion Gold Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, such that upon the exercise of any Reunion Gold Warrants following the Effective Time, New GMIN shall issue that number of New GMIN Shares, and Spinco shall issue that number of Spinco Shares, as may be required to satisfy the exercise of such Reunion Gold Warrants; and
  • each holder of a GMIN RSU or GMIN DSU, to the extent the holder of such GMIN RSU or GMIN DSU has not exercised, or had exercised, its rights of acquisition thereunder prior to the Effective Time will, upon the exercise of such rights, be entitled to be issued and to receive, at the discretion of GMIN, such number of New GMIN Shares as is equal to the GMIN Exchange Ratio for each GMIN Share that was issuable upon due exercise of the GMIN RSU or GMIN DSU, as applicable, immediately prior to the Effective Time, such that upon the exercise of any GMIN RSUs or GMIN DSUs following the Effective Time, New GMIN shall issue that number of New GMIN Shares as may be required to satisfy the exercise of such GMIN RSUs or GMIN DSUs, as applicable.

Notwithstanding the treatment of Reunion Gold Warrants described above, no Reunion Gold Warrants are expected to be outstanding as of the Effective Date as all outstanding Reunion Gold Warrants will expire as of the Reunion Gold Warrant Expiry Date, being before the occurrence of the Effective Date.

The terms of the Arrangement Agreement were the result of Arm's Length negotiations between the Parties and their respective advisors.

The Arrangement Agreement contains representations and warranties made by the Parties. These representations and warranties were made by the Parties for the purposes of the Arrangement Agreement and are subject to limitations and qualifications agreed to by the Parties in connection with negotiating and entering into the Arrangement Agreement. In addition, certain representations and warranties were made as of specified dates, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what may be viewed as material to GMIN Shareholders or Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders, as applicable, or may have been used for the purposes of allocating risks between the Parties rather than for the purpose of establishing facts. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may have changed since the date of the Arrangement Agreement.

Covenants

The Arrangement Agreement also contains the following customary negative and affirmative covenants of each Party.

Usual and Customary Mutual Covenants

The Parties have each given in favour of the other Party usual and customary mutual covenants for an agreement in the nature of the Arrangement Agreement, including, among others, mutual covenants to, until the earlier of the Effective Time and the time that the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms: (i) conduct its business and operations in the ordinary course of business, use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain and preserve each of its own and its subsidiaries' business organization, assets, goodwill, properties, and keep available the services of its employees and maintain good relationships with suppliers, landlords, creditors, joint venture partners and others with which it or any of its subsidiaries have material business relations, and to not engage in certain kinds of transactions or take certain actions during such period unless consented to in writing by the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); (ii) use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy or cause the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to their respective obligations under the Arrangement Agreement to the extent they are within such Party's control; and (iii) perform all obligations required to be performed by such Party or any of its subsidiaries under the Agreement, and to co-operate with the other Party in connection therewith, and do or cause to be done all such further acts and things as may be necessary or reasonably desirable in order to consummate and make effective, as soon as reasonably practicable, the transactions contemplated in the Arrangement Agreement.

The Arrangement Agreement also provides that Reunion Gold shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Reunion Gold Shares to be de-listed from the TSX-V and to be withdrawn from the OTCQX with effect promptly following the acquisition by the New GMIN of the Reunion Gold Shares pursuant to the Arrangement.

Covenants of the Parties Relating to the Spinco Reorganization

The Arrangement Agreement provides for certain covenants of the Arrangement Agreement Parties in connection with the Spinco Reorganization, such as the requirement for Reunion Gold to prepare all documents required to effect the Spinco Reorganization, including: (a) the Contribution and Conveyance Agreement; and (b) the Spinco IRA.

The Arrangement Agreement also provides for confidentiality undertakings of Spinco, in respect of the Oko West Project, and of GMIN, in respect of the Reunion Gold Exploration Properties, and for Spinco to indemnify and save harmless any and all Indemnified Parties in respect of all losses suffered or incurred as a result of or arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with an Indemnified Liability. The indemnification obligations of Spinco will survive the termination of the Arrangement Agreement for a period of three years from the Effective Date, other than in the case of a Claim for Taxes that are Indemnified Liabilities, which shall survive for and continue until 30 days after the expiration of the period during which any Tax assessment may be issued by a Governmental Entity in respect of a taxation year which includes such Claim for Taxes.

Non-Solicitation and Right to Match

The Arrangement Agreement contains reciprocal non-solicitation restrictions that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Parties to: (i) solicit, assist, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate (including by way of furnishing information or entering into any form of agreement, arrangement or understanding) the initiation of any inquiries or proposals whatsoever which may reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to, or are related to, an Acquisition Proposal; (ii) engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any person (other than the other such Party or its representatives) regarding an Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that reasonably would be expected to constitute or lead to an Acquisition Proposal, provided that, for greater certainty, either Party may communicate and participate in discussions with a person making an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal for the purpose of (A) clarifying the terms of any such proposal in order to determine if it may reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal; and (B) advising any person making an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal that such Acquisition Proposal does not constitute a Superior Proposal when the Reunion Gold Board or the GMIN Board, as applicable, has so determined; (iii) make a Change in Recommendation; or (iv) accept, enter into, or publicly propose to accept, or enter into, any agreement, understanding or arrangement or other contract related to any Acquisition Proposal.

Each Party is also subject to covenants providing that either Party shall promptly notify the other Party, at first orally and then in writing within 24 hours following the date it receives or becomes aware of an Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that relates to or that constitutes or could lead to an Acquisition Proposal (or any request for copies of, access to, or disclosure of, any non-public or confidential information relating to the Solicited Party), in each case in connection with a potential Acquisition Proposal. Such notice shall indicate the identity of the person making such proposal, inquiry, offer or request and include a copy of the Acquisition Proposal and such other material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal known by the Solicited Party. The Solicited Party shall keep the other Party promptly and reasonably informed of the status and any material developments, including any change to the material terms, of such inquiry, proposal, offer or request and shall respond promptly to all reasonable inquiries by the other Party with respect thereto and shall

provide copies of any written documents or material correspondence provided to the Solicited Party relating to such Acquisition Proposal.

Under the Arrangement Agreement, if at any time following the date of the Arrangement Agreement and prior to obtaining the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution Securityholder Approval at the Reunion Gold Meeting, as regards Reunion Gold being the Solicited Party, or the GMIN Arrangement Resolution Shareholder Approval at the GMIN Meeting, as regards GMIN being the Solicited Party, the Solicited Party receives a written Acquisition Proposal, the Solicited Party and its representatives may engage in or participate in discussions or negotiations with such person regarding such Acquisition Proposal (including waiving a standstill, use, business purpose or similar restriction) and may provide copies of, access to or disclosure of information, properties, facilities, books or records with respect to the Solicited Party or its subsidiaries, if and only if: (i) the board of directors of the Solicited Party (excluding any interested director) determines in good faith, following consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to a Superior Proposal; (ii) such person submitting the Acquisition Proposal was not restricted from making such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to an existing confidentiality, standstill, non-disclosure, use, business purpose or similar agreement or restriction with the Solicited Party or its subsidiaries; (iii) the Acquisition Proposal did not arise as a result of a violation, in any material respect, of Article 7 [Additional Covenants] of the Arrangement Agreement; and (iv) prior to providing copies of, access to or disclosure of confidential information with respect to the Solicited Party or its subsidiaries, the Solicited Party enters into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement. Promptly, and in any event within one Business Day following the execution of an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, the Solicited Party shall provide the other Party with a copy of such Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding any restrictions contained in the Arrangement Agreement, neither Party shall be prohibited from considering whether, or determining that, such Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal.

Each Party is also subject to covenants providing that, if a Solicited Party receives an Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal prior to obtaining the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution Securityholder Approval at the Reunion Gold Meeting, as regards Reunion Gold being the Solicited Party, or the GMIN Arrangement Resolution Shareholder Approval at the GMIN Meeting, as regards GMIN being the Solicited Party, the Solicited Party may make a Change in Recommendation and/or approve, accept or enter into a Permitted Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, if and only if: (i) it has provided the other Party with a Superior Proposal Notice; (ii) the Superior Proposal Notice, (x) in the case of a Superior Proposal Notice from Reunion Gold, specifies the value or range in financial terms that the Reunion Gold Board has, in consultation with its financial advisors, determined should be ascribed to any non-cash consideration offered pursuant to the Arrangement and in the Superior Proposal, and (y) in the case of a Superior Proposal Notice from GMIN, specifies the financial value placed by the GMIN Board on such Superior Proposal and the determining factors that have been considered by the GMIN Board to, in consultation with its financial advisors, conclude that the Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; (iii) it has provided the other Party with a copy of any Permitted Acquisition Agreement for the Superior Proposal and all supporting materials containing the material terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal, including any financing documents subject to standard confidentiality provisions supplied to the Solicited Party in connection therewith; (iv) at least five Business Days (the "Matching Period") has elapsed from the date that is the later of the date on which the other Party received the Superior Proposal Notice and the date on which the other Party received all the materials set forth in Section 7.3(a)(iii) [Superior Proposals] of the Arrangement Agreement; (v) during any Matching Period, the other Party has had the opportunity, but not the obligation, to offer to amend the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement in order for such Acquisition Proposal to cease to be a Superior Proposal; and (vi) after the Matching Period, the Solicited Party's board of directors (excluding any interested director) has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal (if applicable, compared to the terms of the Arrangement and the Plan of Arrangement as proposed to be amended by the other Party under Section 7.4(a) [Right to Match] of the Arrangement Agreement and that the failure by the board of directors to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties).

Access to Information; Confidentiality

From the date of the Arrangement Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of the Arrangement Agreement, subject to compliance with Law and the terms of any existing contracts, each Arrangement Agreement Party shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries to, afford to the other Arrangement Agreement Parties and their respective representatives, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, reasonable access to such Arrangement Agreement Party's premises, facilities, property and assets (including books and records), contracts, senior personnel and representatives, and business, financial, operating, technical and other data and information with respect to the business and assets of such Arrangement Agreement Party and/or its subsidiaries as any other Arrangement Agreement Party may from time to time reasonably request; provided that: (a) such access does not unduly interfere with the ordinary course of business of such Arrangement Agreement Party and/or its subsidiaries; and (b) such access shall be subject to any confidentiality obligations owed by such Arrangement Agreement Party to a third party, maintaining (or failing to waive) privilege and reasonable steps taken to protect or redact competitively sensitive information. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Arrangement Agreement Parties acknowledge that the Confidentiality Agreement continues to apply and that any information provided pursuant to Section 7.5 [Access to Information; Confidentiality] of the Arrangement Agreement, or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated therein, is subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms notwithstanding any other provision of the Arrangement Agreement or any termination of the Arrangement Agreement other than as a result of the occurrence of the Effective Time. If any provision of the Arrangement Agreement otherwise conflicts or is inconsistent with any provision of the Confidentiality Agreement, the provision of the Arrangement Agreement shall supersede those of the Confidentiality Agreement but only to the extent of the conflict or inconsistency and all other provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Termination of the Arrangement Agreement

The Arrangement Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time by:

  • (a) mutual written agreement between the Parties;
  • (b) either Party, if: (i) the Effective Date shall not have occurred on or before the Outside Date, except that the right to terminate the Arrangement Agreement shall not be available to any Party if its failure to fulfill any of its obligations or breach of any of its representations and warranties under the Arrangement Agreement has been the principal cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Effective Time to occur by the Outside Date; (ii) after the date of the Arrangement Agreement, there shall be enacted or made any applicable Law or there shall exist any injunction or court order that makes the consummation of the Arrangement illegal or otherwise prohibits or enjoins either Party from consummating the Arrangement and such Law, injunction or court order shall have become final and nonappealable; except that the Party exercising the right to terminate the Arrangement Agreement shall have used its commercially reasonable efforts to, as applicable, appeal or overturn such Law or otherwise shall have prevented the entry of or remove or lift such prohibition or injunction; provided, that such termination right shall not be available to a Party whose failure to fulfill any of its obligations or breach of any of its representations or warranties under the Arrangement Agreement shall have been a material cause of the occurrence or continuation of the occurrence of such restraint or illegality; (iii) the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution Securityholder Approval is not obtained at the Reunion Gold Meeting in accordance with the Interim Order; or (iv) the GMIN Arrangement Resolution Shareholder Approval is not obtained at the GMIN Meeting in accordance with applicable Law;

Insurance and Indemnification

The Arrangement Agreement provides that all rights to indemnification or exculpation existing in favour of the directors and officers of each of the Parties and their respective subsidiaries, as applicable, in effect as of the date of the Arrangement Agreement, will survive completion of the Arrangement and continue in full force and effect, without modification, and New GMIN and each Party will continue to honour such rights of indemnification and indemnify such directors and officers with respect to actions or omissions by such directors and officers occurring prior to the Effective Time for a period of six years following the Effective Date. In order to ensure that directors of the Parties do not lose or forfeit their protection under liability insurance policies maintained by Reunion Gold and GMIN, respectively, the Arrangement Agreement provides that the Parties shall cause New GMIN to, or cause Reunion Gold or GMIN, as applicable, or their respective successors to, purchase customary "tail" or "run off" directors' and officers' liability insurance providing protection no less favourable in the aggregate to the protection provided by the policies maintained by the Parties and their respective subsidiaries which are in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date and providing protection in respect of claims arising from facts or events which occurred on or prior to the Effective Date for a period of six years from the Effective Date and the Parties and their respective subsidiaries shall maintain such policies in effect without any reduction in scope or coverage for six years following the Effective Date, provided that the aggregate cost of such policy for the six year period shall not exceed 350% of the current annual premium for policies currently maintained by Reunion Gold or GMIN, as applicable, and that each Party shall consult with the other before purchasing such insurance.

If New GMIN, GMIN, Reunion Gold or any of their subsidiaries or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and is not a continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, New GMIN shall ensure that any successor or assign (including, as applicable, any acquiror of substantially all of the properties and assets) assumes all of the obligations set forth in Section 7.6 [D&O Indemnification and Insurance] of the Arrangement Agreement.

The provisions of Section 7.6 [D&O Indemnification and Insurance] of the Arrangement Agreement are intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each insured or indemnified person, his or her heirs and his or her legal representatives and, for such purpose, each of the Parties therein confirms that it is acting as agent and trustee on their behalf. Furthermore, Section 7.6 [D&O Indemnification and Insurance] of the Arrangement Agreement shall survive the termination of the Arrangement Agreement as a result of the occurrence of the Effective Date for a period of six years.

Specific Performance

Subject to Section 8.3 [Termination Fees], the Arrangement Agreement Parties agree that irreparable harm would occur for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy at Law in the event that any of the provisions of the Arrangement Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the Arrangement Agreement Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of the Arrangement Agreement and to enforce compliance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement or to otherwise obtain specific performance of any such provisions, any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief being waived by the Arrangement Agreement Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, while each Arrangement Agreement Party may pursue both a grant of specific performance in accordance with Section 9.5 [Injunctive Relief] of the Arrangement Agreement and the payment of monetary damages, under no circumstances shall an Arrangement Agreement Party be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance of the other Arrangement Agreement Parties' obligations to complete the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement and any monetary damages (including all or any portion of the applicable Termination Fee), except in the event of fraud or willful or intentional breach of the Arrangement Agreement by the other Arrangement Agreement Parties.

Amendment

The Arrangement Agreement and, subject to the provisions set forth in the Plan of Arrangement, the Plan of Arrangement, may, at any time and from time to time before or after the holding of the applicable Meeting but not later than the Effective Time, be amended or varied by mutual written agreement of the Arrangement Agreement Parties, and any such amendment may, subject to the Interim Order and the Final Order and applicable Law, without limitation:

  • (a) change the time for performance of any of the obligations or acts of the Arrangement Agreement Parties;
  • (b) waive any inaccuracies or modify any representation or warranty contained in the Arrangement Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant thereto;
  • (c) waive compliance with or modify any of the covenants contained in the Arrangement Agreement and waive or modify the performance of any of the obligations of the Arrangement Agreement Parties; and/or
  • (d) waive compliance with or modify any conditions precedent contained in the Arrangement Agreement.

Waiver

Any Arrangement Agreement Party may (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or acts of the other Arrangement Agreement Parties, (ii) waive compliance, except as provided in the Arrangement Agreement, with any of the other Arrangement Agreement Parties' agreements or the fulfilment of any conditions to its own obligations contained in the Arrangement Agreement, or (iii) waive inaccuracies in any of the other Arrangement Agreement Parties' representations or warranties contained in the Arrangement Agreement or in any document delivered by the other Arrangement Agreement Parties; provided, however, that any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Arrangement Agreement Party and, unless otherwise provided in the written waiver, will be limited to the specific breach or condition waived.

The failure or delay by an Arrangement Agreement Party in enforcing, or insisting upon the strict performance of, any provision of the Arrangement Agreement does not constitute a waiver of such provision or in any way affect the enforceability of the Arrangement Agreement (or any of its provisions) or deprive an Arrangement Agreement Party of the right, at any time or from time to time, to enforce or insist upon strict performance of that provision or any other provision of the Arrangement Agreement.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

The Arrangement Agreement is governed by and is to be construed in accordance with the Laws of the Province of Ontario and the Laws of Canada applicable therein. Each Arrangement Agreement Party irrevocably attorned to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario and waived any defences to the maintenance of an action in the courts of the Province of Ontario.

GMIN Warrant Documentation

Following the Effective Time, GMIN shall cause New GMIN to execute and deliver adjusted Warrant Documentation governing the GMIN Warrants, which shall transpose the terms and conditions of the GMIN Warrant Certificate and GMIN Warrant Indenture from GMIN to New GMIN. For further details on the treatment of GMIN Warrants under the Plan of Arrangement, see "The Arrangement – Details of the Arrangement" in this Circular.

GMIN PRIVATE PLACEMENTS

Background

In connection with the Arrangement, La Mancha exercised its anti-dilution rights granted by GMIN to La Mancha under the La Mancha IRA and entered into the La Mancha Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which, immediately prior to the Effective Time, La Mancha shall subscribe for and purchase from GMIN such number of GMIN Shares as is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) US\$25 million, which may be increased by La Mancha to US\$35 million, by (b) the Subscription Price, rounded down to the nearest whole number of GMIN Shares, at a price per GMIN Share (the "Subscription Price") equal to (A) the five-day volume weighted average price of the GMIN Shares on the TSX calculated on the day preceding the announcement of the Arrangement (i.e., April 19, 2024), being \$2.279, or at such higher price as may be required by the TSX in order to reflect the lowest discounted issue price for the GMIN Shares permitted under the rules of the TSX without shareholder approval, multiplied by (B) the average daily exchange rate published by the Bank of Canada for converting Canadian dollars into US dollars for the five trading days immediately prior to the date of announcement of the Arrangement (the "La Mancha Private Placement"). The Subscription Price was determined in accordance with the provisions of the La Mancha IRA. The five-day volume weighted average price of the GMIN Shares on the TSX on the day preceding the date of this Circular (i.e., June 6, 2024) was \$2.05.

La Mancha is an insider of GMIN that currently owns 111,879,265 GMIN Shares, representing approximately 24.74% of the issued and outstanding GMIN Shares. Upon the completion of the Arrangement and the GMIN Private Placements and assuming La Mancha subscribes for US\$35 million of GMIN Shares, La Mancha is expected to own approximately 40,570,073 New GMIN Shares, representing approximately 19.27% of the outstanding New GMIN Shares.

Also, in connection with the Arrangement, Franco-Nevada entered into the Franco-Nevada Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which, immediately prior to the Effective Time, Franco-Nevada shall subscribe for US\$25 million of GMIN Shares (the "Franco-Nevada Private Placement"). The Subscription Price and other terms under the Franco-Nevada Private Placement are the same as under La Mancha Private Placement.

Franco-Nevada currently owns 44,687,500 GMIN Shares, representing approximately 9.9% of the issued and outstanding GMIN Shares. Upon the completion of the Arrangement and the GMIN Private Placements and assuming La Mancha subscribes for US\$35 million of GMIN Shares, Franco-Nevada is expected to own approximately 14,950,437 New GMIN Shares, representing approximately 7.1% of the outstanding New GMIN Shares.

Closing of both the La Mancha Private Placement and the Franco-Nevada Private Placement are subject to certain customary conditions, including the receipt of certain deliveries by GMIN, including evidence of having obtained the Stock Exchange Approval and confirmation of the satisfaction of all conditions under the Arrangement Agreement and that the Parties are prepared to proceed to closing. Given this requirement, GMIN and each of La Mancha and Franco-Nevada have agreed to proceed with the GMIN Private Placements at a subscription price of \$2.279 per GMIN Share, subject to receiving the GMIN Private Placements Resolution Shareholder Approval.

Completion of the GMIN Private Placements is not a condition to completion of the Arrangement under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement.

Pursuant to the GMIN Private Placements, an aggregate of up to 36,274,200 GMIN Shares will be issued and the subscription proceeds resulting therefrom will be used for general corporate purposes, assuming La Mancha subscribes for US\$35 million of GMIN Shares. The completion of the GMIN Private Placements will not result in a material effect on control or direction over GMIN or result in any new person holding 10% or more of the outstanding GMIN Shares. Pursuant to the requirements of the TSX, the issuance of GMIN Shares in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreements pursuant to the La Mancha Private Placement and the Franco-Nevada Private Placement requires the approval of the GMIN Shareholders.

Pursuant to Section 607(e) of the TSX Company Manual, the price per listed security for any private placement must not be lower than the Market Price (as such term is defined in the TSX Company Manual) less the maximum allowable applicable discount. Since the Subscription Price was determined with reference to the trading price of the GMIN Shares prior to the public announcement of the Arrangement, the Subscription Price is deemed by the TSX to be less than the Market Price less the maximum allowable applicable discount and must therefore be approved by GMIN Shareholders, other than GMIN Shareholders participating directly or indirectly in the GMIN Private Placements and such security holders' associates and affiliates. Accordingly, an aggregate of 156,566,765 GMIN Shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by La Mancha and Franco-Nevada and their respective associates and affiliates, representing approximately 34.64% of the issued and outstanding GMIN Shares, will be excluded from the vote in respect of the GMIN Private Placements Resolution.

Approval of GMIN Private Placements

The GMIN Board (with Karim Nasr abstaining from voting due to his role as an executive officer of La Mancha) has determined that the GMIN Private Placements are in the best interests of GMIN and the GMIN Shareholders for, among others, the reasons described under the heading "The Arrangement – Reasons for Recommendation of the GMIN Special Committee and the GMIN Board" in this Circular. Consequently, the GMIN Board recommends that the GMIN Shareholders vote in favour of the GMIN Private Placements Resolution:

"BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

pursuant to Section 607(e) of the TSX Company Manual, the issuance of the GMIN Shares pursuant to the GMIN Private Placements at a subscription price of \$2.279 per GMIN Share, which price is deemed to be lower than the Market Price (as defined in the TSX Company Manual) less the maximum allowable applicable discount, is hereby authorized and approved;

    1. notwithstanding that this resolution has been passed, the GMIN Private Placements are conditional upon receipt of final approval by the TSX, and the directors of GMIN are hereby authorized and empowered, without notice to or approval of the GMIN Shareholders: to (i) amend, supplement or otherwise modify the Subscription Agreements to the extent permitted by their terms; (ii) subject to the terms of the Subscription Agreements, not to proceed with the GMIN Private Placements and any related transactions at any time prior to giving effect thereto; and
    1. any director or officer of GMIN is hereby authorized and directed for and on behalf of GMIN to execute or cause to be executed and to deliver or cause to be delivered all such other documents and instruments and to perform or cause to be performed all such other acts and things as such person determines may be necessary or desirable to give full effect to the foregoing resolutions and the matters authorized thereby, such determination to be conclusively evidenced by the execution and delivery of any such other document or instrument or the performance of any such other act or thing."

Unless otherwise directed, it is management's intention to vote in favour of the GMIN Private Placements Resolution. If you return a signed proxy form or voting instruction form and do not specify how you want your GMIN Shares voted, the persons named as proxyholders will cast the votes represented by your proxy at the GMIN Meeting in favour of the GMIN Private Placements Resolution.

CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

Withholding Rights

New GMIN, GMIN, Reunion Gold, Spinco and the Depositary shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from all dividends, distributions, other payments or other consideration payable to any person pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement (including, without limitation, any payments to Reunion Gold Shareholders or GMIN Shareholders exercising Dissent Rights) such amounts as New GMIN, GMIN, Reunion Gold, Spinco or the Depositary is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the Tax Act, the Code or any provision of any applicable federal, provincial, state, local or foreign Tax Law, in each case, as amended. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted, withheld and remitted, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under the Plan of Arrangement as having been paid to the person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid, provided that such deducted or withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxation authority. If any withholding Tax is assessed against and paid by New GMIN, GMIN, Reunion Gold, Spinco or the Depositary, then the person in respect of which such deduction or withholding should have been made shall indemnify and hold harmless such withholding agent from and against such Tax, but only to the extent such person actually received the amount that should have been deducted or withheld. To the extent the amount required to be deducted or withheld from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to any person hereunder exceeds the amount of cash consideration, if any, otherwise payable to the person, any of New GMIN, GMIN, Reunion Gold, Spinco or the Depositary is hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of any non-cash consideration payable to the person as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to New GMIN, GMIN, Reunion Gold, Spinco or the Depositary, as the case may be, to enable it to comply with all deduction or withholding requirements applicable to it, and New GMIN, GMIN, Reunion Gold, Spinco and the Depositary shall notify such person and remit to such person any unapplied balance of the net proceeds of such sale. If any withholding Tax is assessed against and paid by New GMIN, GMIN, Reunion Gold, Spinco or the Depositary, then the Former Shareholders in respect of which such deduction or withholding should have been made shall indemnify and hold harmless such withholding agent from and against such Tax, but only to the extent such Former Shareholders actually received the amount that should have been deducted or withheld.

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following summary describes the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations under the Tax Act, as of the date hereof, in respect of the Arrangement generally applicable to a beneficial owner of Shares who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Tax Act: (i) deals at arm's length with New GMIN, GMIN, Reunion Gold, or Spinco; (ii) is not affiliated with New GMIN, GMIN, Reunion Gold, or Spinco; (iii) holds Shares and will hold the New GMIN Shares or Spinco Shares received on the Arrangement, as capital property; and (iv) is not a Tax Exempt Person (a "Holder"). Generally, the New GMIN Shares, GMIN Shares, Reunion Gold Shares, and Spinco Shares will be considered to be capital property to a holder thereof provided the holder does not use or hold such securities in the course of carrying on a business and has not acquired such securities in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade.

This summary is not applicable to a Holder: (i) that is a "specified financial institution" for the purposes of the Tax Act; (ii) that is a "financial institution" for the purposes of the mark-to-market rules in the Tax Act; (iii) an interest in which is or for whom a Share would be a "tax shelter investment" for the purposes of the Tax Act; (iv) that reports its "Canadian tax results" (as defined in the Tax Act) in a currency other than Canadian currency; (v) that is a "foreign affiliate" (as defined in the Tax Act) of a taxpayer resident in Canada; (vi) that has entered into or will enter into a "derivative forward agreement" (as defined in the Tax Act) or a "synthetic disposition arrangement" (as defined in the Tax Act) in respect of the New GMIN Shares, GMIN Shares, Reunion Gold Shares, or Spinco Shares; (vii) who would receive dividends on the New GMIN Shares, GMIN Shares, Reunion Gold Shares, or Spinco Shares under or as part of a "dividend rental arrangement" (as defined in the Tax Act); or (viii) who, immediately following the Arrangement will, either alone or together with persons with whom the Holder does not deal at arm's length for purposes of the Tax Act, beneficially own New GMIN Shares or Spinco Shares which have a fair market value in excess of 50% of the fair market value of all outstanding New GMIN Shares or Spinco Shares, respectively. Such Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

This summary does not address all issues that may be relevant to Holders who acquired their Shares on the exercise of GMIN Convertible Securities or Reunion Gold Convertible Securities . Such Holders should consult their own Tax advisors. In addition, the Canadian tax treatment of GMIN Convertible Securities or Reunion Gold Convertible Securities is not addressed in this summary.

Additional considerations, not discussed herein, may be applicable to a Holder that is a corporation resident in Canada, and is, or becomes, or does not deal at arm's length for purposes of the Tax Act with a corporation resident in Canada that is or becomes, as part of a transaction or event or series of transactions or events that includes the acquisition of the New GMIN Shares, GMIN Shares, Reunion Gold Shares, or Spinco Shares, controlled by a non-resident person, or group of nonresident persons not dealing with each other at arm's length, for purposes of the foreign affiliate dumping rules in section 212.3 of the Tax Act. Such Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

This summary is based on the current provisions of the Tax Act, and on counsel's understanding of the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency published in writing prior to the date hereof. This summary takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the "Proposed Amendments to the Tax Act") and assumes that all Proposed Amendments to the Tax Act will be enacted in the form proposed. However, no assurances can be given that the Proposed Amendments to the Tax Act will be enacted as proposed, or at all. Except for the Proposed Amendments to the Tax Act, this summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in Law or administrative policy or assessing practice whether by legislative, regulatory, administrative or judicial action, nor does it take into account tax legislation or considerations of any province, territory or foreign jurisdiction, which may differ from those discussed herein.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not, and is not intended to be, legal or tax advice or representations to any particular Holder. This summary is not exhaustive of all Canadian federal income tax considerations. Accordingly, Holders should consult their own tax advisors for advice with respect to the tax consequences of the transactions described in this Circular, having regard to their own particular circumstances. Holders who are subject to tax in a jurisdiction other than Canada should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax implications of the Arrangement, including, without limitation, any associated filing requirements in such jurisdictions.

Holders Resident in Canada

This portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable income tax convention is, or is deemed to be, resident in Canada (a "Resident Holder"). For greater certainty, unless otherwise specified below, this portion of the summary applies to a GMIN Shareholder who is a Resident Holder. Certain Resident Holders may be entitled to make or may have already made the irrevocable election permitted by subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act, the effect of which may be to deem to be capital property any New GMIN Shares, GMIN Shares, Reunion Gold Shares, and Spinco Shares (and all other "Canadian securities", as defined in the Tax Act) owned by such Resident Holder in the taxation year in which the election is made and in all subsequent taxation years. Resident Holders whose New GMIN Shares, GMIN Shares, Reunion Gold Shares, and Spinco Shares might not otherwise be considered to be capital property should consult their own tax advisors concerning this election.

Dissenting Resident Holders

A Resident Holder who validly exercises Dissent Rights in respect of the Arrangement (a "Dissenting Resident Holder") will be deemed to have transferred such Dissenting Resident Holder's GMIN Shares to GMIN or such Dissenting Resident Holder's Reunion Gold Shares to Reunion Gold, and will be entitled to receive a payment from GMIN or Reunion Gold, as applicable, of an amount equal to the fair value of such Dissenting Resident Holder's Shares. For greater certainty, a Dissenting Resident Holder will not otherwise participate in the steps outlined in the Arrangement. The Dissenting Resident Holder will be deemed to have received a dividend equal to the amount, if any, by which the amount received from GMIN for such Dissenting Resident Holder's GMIN Shares or from Reunion Gold for such Dissenting Resident Holder's Reunion Gold Shares (excluding interest, if any, awarded by the Court), exceeds the paid-up capital for purposes of the Tax Act of such Shares (as determined under the Tax Act) determined immediately before the exchange. Any such deemed dividend will not be an eligible dividend for the purposes of the enhanced gross-up and dividend tax credit rules because it will not be designated as such by GMIN or Reunion Gold.

Where a Dissenting Resident Holder is an individual, any deemed dividend will be included in computing that Dissenting Resident Holder's income and will be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules normally applicable to dividends (other than eligible dividends) received from taxable Canadian corporations. In the case of a Dissenting Resident Holder that is a corporation, any deemed dividend will be included in income and generally will be deductible in computing taxable income. However, in some circumstances, the amount of any such deemed dividend received by a corporation may be treated as proceeds of disposition and not as a dividend under subsection 55(2) of the Tax Act. Dissenting Resident Holders that are corporations should consult their own tax advisors in this regard.

"Private corporations" and "subject corporations" (as defined in the Tax Act) may be liable for a refundable Part IV tax on any dividends received to the extent such dividends are deductible in computing the Dissenting Resident Holder's taxable income for the year.

A Dissenting Resident Holder will also be considered to have disposed of Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the amount paid to such Dissenting Resident Holder (excluding interest, if any, awarded by the Court) less the amount of any deemed dividend. A Dissenting Resident Holder may realize a capital gain (or sustain a capital loss) in respect of such disposition to the extent that the proceeds of disposition of such Shares, as reduced by the amount of any deemed dividend as discussed above, and net any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base of such Shares to such Dissenting Resident Holder immediately before the disposition. See "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Resident in Canada – Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses" in this Circular for a general discussion of the treatment of capital gains and losses under the Tax Act.

Any interest awarded by the Court to a Dissenting Resident Holder will be included in such Dissenting Resident Holder's income for the purposes of the Tax Act.

A Dissenting Resident Holder that is throughout its taxation year a "Canadian-controlled private corporation" (as defined in the Tax Act) or that is at any time in its taxation year a "substantive CCPC" (as proposed to be defined in the Tax Act pursuant to Bill C‐59, An Act to implement certain provisions of the fall economic statement tabled in Parliament on November 21, 2023 and certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 28, 2023) may be liable to pay a refundable tax on its "aggregate investment income" (as defined in the Tax Act), including amounts in respect of taxable capital gains and interest.

Resident Holders who are contemplating exercising their Dissent Rights should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the Canadian federal income tax consequences of exercising their Dissent Rights.

Reorganization of Capital

The discussion on reorganization of capital is not applicable to a GMIN Shareholder who is not otherwise a Reunion Gold Shareholder.

Redesignation of Reunion Gold Shares

As part of the Arrangement, the Reunion Gold Shares will be designated as "Class A Common Shares". Resident Holders will not realize a capital gain or a capital loss as a result of the redesignation of their Reunion Gold Shares as Class A Common Shares under the Arrangement. The aggregate adjusted cost base of Class A Shares to a Resident Holder should be equal to the aggregate adjusted cost base of Reunion Gold Shares to such Holder immediately prior to redesignation.

Creation of Reunion Gold Class B Shares and Exchange of Reunion Gold Class A Shares for Reunion Gold Class B Shares and Fractional Spinco Shares

A new class of Reunion Gold Shares consisting of an unlimited number of Reunion Gold "Class B Shares" shall be created. Each Reunion Gold Class A Share held by any Non-Electing Reunion Gold Shareholder (for greater certainty, excluding any Dissenting Resident Holders) before the reorganization shall be exchanged for one Reunion Gold Class B Share and a Fractional Spinco Share, and such Reunion Gold Class A Share shall thereupon be cancelled (the "Reorganization Share Exchange"). The Reorganization Share Exchange is intended to qualify as a reorganization pursuant to section 86 of the Tax Act.

A Resident Holder who exchanges Reunion Gold Class A Shares for Reunion Gold Class B Shares and Spinco Shares will realize a capital gain equal to the amount, if any, by which the aggregate fair market value of the Spinco Shares at the effective time of the Share Exchange, less the amount of any taxable dividend deemed to be received by the Resident Holder, exceeds the adjusted cost base of the Resident Holder's Reunion Gold Class A Shares determined immediately before the Share Exchange. Any capital gain so realized will be taxable as described under "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Resident in Canada – Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses" in this Circular.

A Resident Holder who exchanges Reunion Gold Class A Shares for Reunion Gold Class B Shares and Spinco Shares pursuant to the Reorganization Share Exchange will be deemed to have received a taxable dividend equal to the amount, if any, by which the aggregate fair market value of the Spinco Shares distributed to the Resident Holder pursuant to the Reorganization Share Exchange at the time of the Reorganization Share Exchange exceed the "paid-up capital" (as defined in the Tax Act) ("PUC") of the Resident Holder's Reunion Gold Class A Shares determined at that time. Refer to "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Resident in Canada – Holding and Dispos-ing of the New GMIN Shares and the Spinco Shares – Dividends on the New GMIN Shares and the Spinco Shares" in this Circular for a general description of the taxation of dividends under the Tax Act.

The aggregate cost to a Resident Holder of the Reunion Gold Class B Shares acquired on the Reorganization Share Exchange will be equal to the amount, if any, by which the adjusted cost base of the Resident Holder's Reunion Gold Class A Shares, immediately before the exchange, exceeds the fair market value, at the time of the exchange, of the Spinco Shares acquired by such Resident Holder on the Reorganization Share Exchange. The aggregate cost to a Resident Holder of the Spinco Shares acquired on the Reorganization Share Exchange will be equal to the fair market value of the Spinco Shares at the time of exchange.

Stated Capital Reduction of Reunion Gold Class A Shares and Distribution of Spinco Shares to the Reunion Gold Class A Shareholders

The discussion on the stated capital reduction of Reunion Gold Class A Shares and distribution of Spinco Shares is not applicable to a GMIN Shareholder who is not otherwise a Reunion Gold Shareholder.

The tax considerations for the stated capital reduction of Reunion Gold Class A Shares and distribution of Spinco Shares to the Reunion Gold Class A Shareholders are not applicable to Reunion Gold Shareholders who are Resident Holders. Such Resident Holder will not hold any Reunion Gold Class A Shares following the exchange described in "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Resident in Canada – Creation of Reunion Gold Class B Shares and Exchange of Reunion Gold Class A Shares for Reunion Gold Class B Share" in this Circular and will not have any tax considerations in respect the stated capital reduction of Reunion Gold Class A Shares and distribution of the Spinco Shares.

Exchange of GMIN Shares or Reunion Gold Class A Shares or Reunion Gold Class B Shares for New GMIN Shares

For GMIN Shares or Reunion Gold Class A Shares or Reunion Gold Class B Shares, as applicable, that are exchanged for New GMIN Shares pursuant to the Arrangement (the "Exchanged Shares"), the Resident Holder will be deemed to have disposed of such Exchanged Shares under a tax-deferred share-for-share exchange pursuant to section 85.1 of the Tax Act, unless the Resident Holder chooses to recognize a capital gain (or capital loss) as described below.

Where a Resident Holder does not choose to recognize a capital gain (or capital loss) on the exchange, the Resident Holder will be deemed to have disposed of the Resident Holder's Exchanged Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the aggregate adjusted cost base of those Exchanged Shares to the Resident Holder, determined immediately before the exchange, and the Resident Holder will be deemed to have acquired the New GMIN Shares at an aggregate cost equal to such adjusted cost base of the Exchanged Shares. This cost will be averaged with the adjusted cost base of all other New GMIN Shares held by the Resident Holder as capital property for the purposes of determining the adjusted cost base of each New GMIN Share held by the Resident Holder as capital property.

A Resident Holder may choose to recognize a capital gain (or capital loss) in respect of the exchange of the Resident Holder's Exchanged Shares for New GMIN Shares by including the capital gain (or capital loss) in computing the Resident Holder's income for the taxation year in which the Arrangement takes place. In such circumstances, the Resident Holder will recognize a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of the New GMIN Shares received, net of any reasonable costs associated with the exchange, exceeds (or is less than) the aggregate of the adjusted cost base of such Exchanged Shares to the Resident Holder, determined immediately before the exchange. See "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Resident in Canada – Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses" in this Circular for a general discussion of the treatment of capital gains and losses under the Tax Act. The cost of the New GMIN Shares acquired on the exchange will be equal to the fair market value thereof at the time of the exchange. This cost will be averaged with the adjusted cost of all other New GMIN Shares held by the Resident Holder as capital property for the purpose of determining the adjusted cost base of each New GMIN Share held by the Resident Holder as capital property.

Holding and Disposing of the New GMIN Shares and the Spinco Shares

The discussion on holding and disposing of New GMIN Shares is applicable to a GMIN Shareholder; however, any discussion on holding and disposing of Spinco Shares is not applicable to a GMIN Shareholder who is not otherwise a Reunion Gold Shareholder.

Dividends on the New GMIN Shares and the Spinco Shares

A Resident Holder will be required to include in computing their income for a taxation year any dividends received (or deemed to be received) on the New GMIN Shares or Spinco Shares. In the case of a Resident Holder that is an individual (other than certain trusts), such dividends will be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules applicable to taxable dividends received from taxable Canadian corporations, including the enhanced gross-up and dividend tax credit applicable to any dividends designated by New GMIN Shares and Spinco Shares as an "eligible dividend" in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act.

Taxable dividends received by a Resident Holder that is an individual or a trust may increase such Resident Holder's liability for alternative minimum tax.

A dividend received (or deemed to be received) by a Resident Holder that is a corporation will generally be deductible in computing the corporation's taxable income. In certain circumstances, however, a taxable dividend received (or deemed to be received) by a Resident Holder that is a corporation may be deemed to be a gain from the disposition of capital property or proceeds of disposition potentially giving rise to a capital gain. Resident Holders that are corporations should consult their own tax advisors having regard to their own particular circumstances.

A Resident Holder that is a "private corporation" (as defined in the Tax Act) or any other corporation controlled, whether because of a beneficial interest in one or more trusts or otherwise, by or for the benefit of an individual (other than a trust) or a related group of individuals (other than trusts), will generally be liable to pay a refundable tax under Part IV of the Tax Act on dividends received (or deemed to be received) on the New GMIN Shares or Spinco Shares to the extent such dividends are deductible in computing the Resident Holder's taxable income for the taxation year.

A Resident Holder that is throughout its taxation year a "Canadian-controlled private corporation" (as defined in the Tax Act) or that is at any time in its taxation year a "substantive CCPC" (as proposed to be defined in the Tax Act pursuant to Bill C‐59, An Act to implement certain provisions of the fall economic statement tabled in Parliament on November 21, 2023 and certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 28, 2023) may be liable to pay a refundable tax on its "aggregate investment income" (as defined in the Tax Act), including amounts in respect of dividends.

Disposing of the New GMIN Shares and the Spinco Shares

Generally, on a disposition or deemed disposition of the New GMIN Shares (other than to New GMIN, unless purchased by New GMIN in the open market in the manner normally purchased by a member of the public in the open market) or Spinco Shares (other than to Spinco, unless purchased by Spinco in the open market in the manner normally purchased by a member of the public in the open market), a Resident Holder will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount, if any, by which the proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of such Consideration, immediately before the disposition or deemed disposition. The adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of a New GMIN Share will be determined by averaging the cost of such New GMIN Share with the adjusted cost base of all other New GMIN Shares held by the Resident Holder at that time. The adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of a Spinco Share will be determined by averaging the cost of such Spinco Share with the adjusted cost base of all other Spinco Shares held by the Resident Holder at that time. See "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Resident in Canada – Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses" in this Circular for a general discussion of the treatment of capital gains and losses under the Tax Act.

Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses

Generally, a Resident Holder is required to include in computing its income for a taxation year one-half of the amount of any capital gain (a "taxable capital gain") realized in the year. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act, a Resident Holder is required to deduct one-half of the amount of any capital loss (an "allowable capital loss") realized in a taxation year from taxable capital gains realized by the Resident Holder in the year and allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capital gains for the year may be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding taxation years or carried forward and deducted in any subsequent taxation year against net taxable capital gains realized in such years, to the extent and under the circumstances described in the Tax Act.

The 2024 Canadian federal budget, introduced in Parliament on April 16, 2024 (the "Budget 2024"), proposes to require a Resident Holder that is a corporation, individual, or trust to include two-thirds of the amount of any capital gain realized on or after June 25, 2024, in computing their income for the taxation year of disposition. Under the Budget 2024 proposals, two-thirds of capital losses will be deductible against capital gains that are included in income at the two-thirds inclusion rate such that a capital loss will offset an equivalent capital gain. The proposed increased capital gains inclusion rate for individuals would generally only apply to the portion of capital gains realized in a taxation year in excess of \$250,000. For tax years that begin before and end on or after June 25, 2024, two different inclusion rates will apply. Draft legislation for the increased inclusion rate and transitional rules has not yet been released. Resident Holders are advised to consult their personal tax advisors with regard to the Budget 2024.

A Resident Holder that is throughout its taxation year a "Canadian-controlled private corporation" (as defined in the Tax Act) or that is at any time in its taxation year a "substantive CCPC" (as proposed to be defined in the Tax Act pursuant to Bill C‐59, An Act to implement certain provisions of the fall economic statement tabled in Parliament on November 21, 2023 and certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 28, 2023) may be liable to pay a refundable tax on its "aggregate investment income" (as defined in the Tax Act), including amounts in respect of taxable capital gains.

The amount of any capital loss realized by a Resident Holder that is a corporation on the disposition (or deemed disposition) of a GMIN Share, a Reunion Gold Share, a New GMIN Share, or a Spinco Share may be reduced by the amount of any dividends received (or deemed to be received) by the Resident Holder on such share (or on a share for which such share was exchanged) to the extent and under the circumstances prescribed by the Tax Act. Similar rules may apply where GMIN Shares, Reunion Gold Shares, New GMIN Shares, or Spinco Shares are owned by a partnership or trust of which a corporation, trust or partnership is a member or beneficiary. Such Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

Minimum Tax

Capital gains realized by a Resident Holder that is an individual (other than certain trusts) may increase such Resident Holder's liability for alternative minimum tax. Such Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors in this regard in advance of the Arrangement.

Eligibility for Investment

Based on the current provisions of the Tax Act as of the date hereof, the New GMIN Shares and the Spinco Shares issued pursuant to the Arrangement will be qualified investments under the Tax Act for trusts governed by a registered retirement savings plan, a registered retirement income fund, a registered education savings plan, a registered disability savings plan, a tax-free savings account, a first home savings account (collectively, the "Registered Plans"), or a deferred profit sharing plan, where: (i) the New GMIN Shares and Spinco Shares are listed on a "designated stock exchange" (which includes the TSX and TSX-V); or (ii) New GMIN or Spinco is a "public corporation", each as defined in the Tax Act.

Notwithstanding that the New GMIN Shares and the Spinco Shares may be qualified investments for a Registered Plan, the holder, subscriber or annuitant of the Registered Plan, as the case may be, will be subject to a penalty tax as set forth in the Tax Act if such securities are a "prohibited investment" for the Registered Plan for purposes of the Tax Act. A security will generally be a "prohibited investment" for a Registered Plan if the holder, subscriber or annuitant, as the case may be, does not deal at arm's length with Spinco for the purposes of the Tax Act or has a "significant interest" (as defined in subsection 207.01(4) of the Tax Act) in New GMIN or Spinco. In addition, the New GMIN Shares and the Spinco Shares will generally not be a prohibited investment if such shares are "excluded property" (as defined in the Tax Act) for purposes of the prohibited investment rules.

Resident Holders who would receive or intend to hold the New GMIN Shares or the Spinco Shares within a Registered Plan pursuant to the Arrangement should consult their own tax advisors in this regard in advance of the Arrangement.

Holders Not Resident in Canada: Non-Electing Reunion Gold Shareholders

This portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who is a GMIN Shareholder or a Non-Electing Reunion Gold Shareholder and who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Tax Act, is not, and is not deemed to be, resident in Canada and does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, the New GMIN Shares, the GMIN Shares, the Reunion Gold Shares, and the Spinco Shares in a business carried on in Canada (a "Non-Electing Holder"). For greater certainty, unless otherwise specified below, this portion of the summary applies to a GMIN Shareholder. Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to certain Holders that are insurers carrying on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere.

Non-Electing Holders whose New GMIN Shares, GMIN Shares, Reunion Gold Shares, and Spinco Shares are, or may be, "taxable Canadian property" should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the Canadian federal income tax consequences to them of disposing of Shares pursuant to the Arrangement and disposing of New GMIN Shares or Spinco Shares, including any resulting Canadian reporting obligations. See "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Not Resident in Canada: Non-Electing Reunion Gold Shareholders – Taxable Canadian Property" in this Circular for a general discussion in this regard.

Dissenting Non-Electing Holders

A Non-Electing Holder who validly exercises Dissent Rights in respect of the Arrangement (a "Dissenting Non-Electing Holder") will be deemed to have transferred such Dissenting Non-Electing Holder's GMIN Shares to GMIN or such Dissenting Non-Electing Holder's Reunion Gold Shares to Reunion Gold, and will be entitled to receive a payment from GMIN or Reunion Gold, as applicable, of an amount equal to the fair value of such Dissenting Non-Electing Holder's Shares. For greater certainty, a Dissenting Non-Electing Holder will not otherwise participate in the steps outlined in the Arrangement.

The Dissenting Non-Electing Holder will be deemed to have received a taxable dividend equal to the amount by which the amount paid to the Dissenting Non-Electing Holder for the Shares (less an amount in respect of interest, if any, awarded by the Court to the Dissenting Non-Electing Holder) exceeds the paid-up capital of such Shares (as determined under the Tax Act) determined immediately before the exchange. The amount of the deemed dividend will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25% of the gross amount of the dividend unless the rate is reduced under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty or convention between Canada and a country in which the Dissenting Non-Electing Holder is resident.

A Dissenting Non-Electing Holder will also be considered to have disposed of the Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the amount paid to such Dissenting Non-Electing Holder less an amount in respect of interest, if any, awarded by the Court and the amount of any deemed dividend. A Dissenting Non-Electing Holder may realize a capital gain (or sustain a capital loss) to the extent that such proceeds of disposition exceed (or are less than) the aggregate of the adjusted cost base of the Shares to the Dissenting Non-Electing Holder and reasonable costs of disposition and, if such shares constitute "taxable Canadian property", be subject to the same Canadian income tax consequences as described under the heading "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Resident in Canada – Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses" in this Circular.

Where a Dissenting Non-Electing Holder receives interest in connection with the exercise of Dissent Rights, such amount will not be subject to Canadian withholding tax.

Dissenting Non-Electing Holders who are contemplating exercising their Dissent Rights should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the Canadian federal income tax consequences of exercising their Dissent Rights.

Reorganization of Capital

The discussion on reorganization of capital is not applicable to a GMIN Shareholder who is not otherwise a Reunion Gold Shareholder.

Redesignation of Reunion Gold Shares

The discussion under "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Resident in Canada – Redesignation of Reunion Gold Shares" in this Circular also applies to a Non-Electing Holder.

Creation of Reunion Gold Class B Shares and Exchange of Reunion Gold Class A Shares for Reunion Gold Class B Shares and Fractional Spinco Shares

A Non-Electing Holder (for greater certainty, excluding any Dissenting Non-Electing Holders) whose Reunion Gold Class A Shares are exchanged for Reunion Gold Class B Shares and Fractional Spinco Shares under the Arrangement will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on any capital gain realized on such exchange unless the Reunion Gold Class A Shares are "taxable Canadian property" (as defined in the Tax Act) to the Non-Electing Holder at the effective time of the Reorganization Share Exchange and not "treaty-protected property" (as defined in the Tax Act). See discussion under "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Not Resident in Canada: Non-Electing Reunion Gold Shareholders – Taxable Canadian Property" in this Circular.

In the event that a Reunion Gold Class A Share is "taxable Canadian property" and not "treaty-protected property" to a Non-Electing Holder at the effective time of the Reorganization Share Exchange, the tax consequences described under the heading "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Resident in Canada – Creation of Reunion Gold Class B Shares and Exchange of Reunion Gold Class A Shares for Reunion Gold Class B Shares and Fractional Spinco Shares" in this Circular will generally apply.

If the fair market value of the Spinco Shares at the time of their distribution were to exceed the aggregate PUC of the Reunion Gold Class A Shares immediately before that time, Reunion Gold would be deemed to have paid a dividend on the Reunion Gold Class A Shares equal to the amount of the excess and each Non-Electing Holder would be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of the dividend, based on the proportion of Reunion Gold Class A Shares held. See "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Not Resident in Canada: Non-Electing Reunion Gold Shareholders – Holding and Disposing of the New GMIN Shares and the Spinco Shares – Dividends on the New GMIN Shares and the Spinco Shares" in this Circular for a general description of the taxation of dividends under the Tax Act, including the Canadian withholding tax implications thereof.

Stated Capital Reduction of Reunion Gold Class A Shares and Distribution of Spinco Shares to the Reunion Gold Class A Shareholders

The discussion on the stated capital reduction of Reunion Gold Class A Shares and distribution of Spinco Shares is not applicable to a GMIN Shareholder who is not otherwise a Reunion Gold Shareholder.

The tax considerations for the stated capital reduction of Reunion Gold Class A Shares and distribution of Spinco Shares to the Reunion Gold Class A Shareholders are not applicable to Non-Electing Reunion Gold Shareholders who are Resident Holders. Such Resident Holder will not hold any Reunion Gold Class A Shares following the exchange described in "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Not Resident in Canada: Non-Electing Reunion Gold Shareholders – Creation of Reunion Gold Class B Shares and Exchange of Reunion Gold Class A Shares for Reunion Gold Class B Shares and Fractional Spinco Shares" in this Circular and will not have any tax considerations in respect the stated capital reduction of Reunion Gold Class A Shares and distribution of the Spinco Shares.

Exchange of GMIN Shares or Reunion Gold Class A Shares or Reunion Gold Class B Shares for New GMIN Shares

A Non-Electing Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on any capital gain realized on a disposition of the Exchanged Shares pursuant to the Arrangement unless the Exchanged Shares are "taxable Canadian property" (as defined in the Tax Act) to the Non-Electing Holder at the effective time of the Reorganization Share Exchange and are not "treatyprotected property" (as defined in the Tax Act) of the Non-Electing Holder. See discussion under "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Not Resident in Canada: Non-Electing Reunion Gold Shareholders – Taxable Canadian Property" in this Circular.

A Non-Electing Holder whose Exchanged Shares are "taxable Canadian property" and are not "treaty-protected property" will generally have the same tax considerations as those described under "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax

Considerations – Holders Resident in Canada – Exchange of GMIN Shares or Reunion Gold Class A Shares or Reunion Gold Class B Shares for New GMIN Shares" in this Circular. Such Non-Electing Holders may be entitled to the automatic tax deferral provisions of subsection 85.1(1) of the Tax Act as described above in respect of any Exchanged Shares exchanged for New GMIN Shares if such Non-Electing Holder satisfies the conditions under the heading "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Resident in Canada – Exchange of GMIN Shares or Reunion Gold Class A Shares or Reunion Gold Class B Shares for New GMIN Shares" in this Circular, and such Non-Electing Holder is not a foreign affiliate of a taxpayer resident in Canada that has included the gain or loss otherwise determined in its foreign accrual property income for the taxation year in which the exchange occurs. Where section 85.1(1) of the Tax Act applies, the New GMIN Shares received in exchange for the Exchanged Shares that constituted "taxable Canadian property" to such Non-Electing Holder will be deemed to be "taxable Canadian property" to such Non-Electing Holder for a period of 60 months after the exchange.

Taxable Canadian Property

A Non-Electing Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on any capital gain realized on a disposition of Shares pursuant to the Arrangement or the disposition of New GMIN Shares or Spinco Shares unless, at the Effective Time, such shares are "taxable Canadian property" (as defined in the Tax Act) to the Non-Electing Holder and are not "treaty-protected property" (as defined in the Tax Act) of the Non-Electing Holder.

A Non-Electing Holder whose GMIN Shares, Reunion Gold Shares, New GMIN Shares, or Spinco Shares are "taxable Canadian property" and are not "treaty-protected property" will generally have the same Canadian federal income tax considerations as those described under "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Resident in Canada – Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses" in this Circular.

Generally, the GMIN Shares, the Reunion Gold Shares, the New GMIN Shares, and the Spinco Shares will not constitute "taxable Canadian property" to a Non-Electing Holder at a particular time provided that such shares are listed at that time on a designated stock exchange (which includes the TSX and TSX-V), unless at any particular time during the 60-month period that ends at that time:

  • (a) one or any combination of: (i) the Non-Electing Holder; (ii) persons with whom the Non-Electing Holder does not deal with at arm's length; and (iii) partnerships in which the Non-Electing Holder or a person described in (ii) holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships, has owned 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of the capital stock of GMIN, Reunion Gold, New GMIN, and Spinco; and
  • (b) more than 50% of the fair market value of GMIN Shares, Reunion Gold Shares, New GMIN Shares, or Spinco Shares, as applicable, was derived directly or indirectly from one or any combination of: (i) real or immovable properties situated in Canada; (ii) "Canadian resource properties" (as defined in the Tax Act); (iii) "timber resource properties" (as defined in the Tax Act); and (iv) options in respect of, or interests in, or for civil law rights in, property in any of the foregoing whether or not the property exists.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in certain circumstances set forth in the Tax Act, GMIN Shares, Reunion Gold Shares, New GMIN Shares, or Spinco Shares could be deemed to be "taxable Canadian property". Non-Electing Holders whose GMIN Shares, Reunion Gold Shares, New GMIN Shares, or Spinco Shares may constitute taxable Canadian property should consult their own tax advisors.

Even if the GMIN Shares, the Reunion Gold Shares, the New GMIN Shares, or the Spinco Shares are "taxable Canadian property" to a Non-Electing Holder, a taxable capital gain resulting from the disposition of such shares will not be included in computing the Non-Electing Holder's income for the purposes of the Tax Act if such GMIN Shares, Reunion Gold Shares, New GMIN Shares, or Spinco Shares constitute "treaty-protected property". GMIN Shares, Reunion Gold Shares, New GMIN Shares, or Spinco Shares owned by a Non-Electing Holder will generally be "treaty-protected property" of a Non-Electing Holder if the gain from the disposition of such shares would, because of an applicable income tax treaty between Canada and the country in which the Non-Electing Holder is resident for purposes of such treaty and in respect of which the Non-Electing Holder is entitled to receive benefits thereunder, be exempt from tax under the Tax Act.

Holding and Disposing of the New GMIN Shares and the Spinco Shares

The discussion on holding and disposing of New GMIN Shares is applicable to a GMIN Shareholder; however, any discussion on holding and disposing of Spinco Shares is not applicable to a GMIN Shareholder who is not otherwise a Reunion Gold Shareholder.

Dividends on the New GMIN Shares and the Spinco Shares

Dividends paid or credited (or deemed to be paid or credited) on the New GMIN Shares or Spinco Shares to a Non-Electing Holder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25%, subject to any reduction in the rate of withholding to which the Non-Electing Holder is entitled under any applicable income tax convention. For example, under the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980), as amended (the "Convention"), where dividends on the New GMIN Shares or Spinco Shares are considered to be paid to or derived by a Non-Electing Holder that is the beneficial owner of the dividends and is a U.S. resident for the purposes of, and is entitled to benefits in accordance with, the provisions of the Convention, the applicable rate of Canadian withholding tax is generally reduced to 15%. The Multilateral Convention to Implement Tax Treaty Related Measures to Prevent Base Erosion and Profit Shifting of which Canada is a signatory, affects many of Canada's bilateral tax treaties (but not the Convention), including the ability to claim benefits thereunder. Non-Electing Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors to determine their entitlement to relief under an applicable income tax treaty or convention.

Disposing of the New GMIN Shares and the Spinco Shares

A Non-Electing Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on any capital gain realized on a disposition (or deemed disposition) of the New GMIN Shares or Spinco Shares, unless such shares constitute "taxable Canadian property" to the Non-Electing Holder and do not constitute "treaty-protected property". For a description of "taxable Canadian property" see "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Not Resident in Canada: Non-Electing Reunion Gold Shareholders – Taxable Canadian Property" in this Circular, as the same tests, with necessary modifications, will apply in respect of the New GMIN Shares or Spinco Shares.

If the New GMIN Shares or Spinco Shares are, or are deemed to be, "taxable Canadian property" to the Non-Electing Holder but not "treaty-protected property" to the Non-Electing Holder at the time of disposition, the consequences to such Non-Electing Holder will generally be the same as described under the heading "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Resident in Canada – Holding and Disposing of the New GMIN Shares and the Spinco Shares – Disposing of the New GMIN Shares and the Spinco Shares" in this Circular.

Non-Electing Holders who dispose of the New GMIN Shares or Spinco Shares that are or may be "taxable Canadian property" should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the Canadian federal income tax consequences to them of disposing of the New GMIN Shares or Spinco Shares, including any resulting Canadian reporting obligations.

Holders Not Resident in Canada: Electing Reunion Gold Shareholders

This portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who is an Electing Reunion Gold Shareholder and who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Tax Act, is not, and is not deemed to be, resident in Canada and does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, the New GMIN Shares, Reunion Gold Shares, and Spinco Shares in a business carried on in Canada (an "Electing Holder"). Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to certain Holders that are insurers carrying on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere. For greater certainty, this section is not applicable to a GMIN Shareholder who is not otherwise a Reunion Gold Shareholder.

Electing Holders whose New GMIN Shares, Reunion Gold Shares, and Spinco Shares are, or may be, "taxable Canadian property" should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the Canadian federal income tax consequences to them of disposing of Reunion Gold Shares pursuant to the Arrangement and disposing of New GMIN Shares and Spinco Shares, including any resulting Canadian reporting obligations.

Dissenting Electing Holders

The discussion under "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Not Resident in Canada: Non-Electing Reunion Gold Shareholders – Dissenting Non-Electing Holders" in this Circular also applies to an Electing Holder who validly exercises Dissent Rights in respect of the Arrangement (a "Dissenting Electing Holder").

Dissenting Electing Holders who are contemplating exercising their Dissent Rights should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the Canadian federal income tax consequences of exercising their Dissent Rights.

Reorganization of Capital

Redesignation of Reunion Gold Shares

The discussion under "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Not Resident in Canada: Non-Electing Reunion Gold Shareholders – Redesignation of Reunion Gold Shares" in this Circular also applies to an Electing Holder.

Creation of Reunion Gold Class B Shares and Exchange of Reunion Gold Class A Shares for Reunion Gold Class B Shares and Fractional Spinco Shares

Electing Holders will not have their Reunion Gold Class A Shares exchanged for Reunion Gold Class B Shares and Fractional Spinco Shares under the Arrangement to the extent that such Electing Holders have made a valid Opt-Out Election to not have their Reunion Gold Class A Shares exchanged for Reunion Gold Class B Shares and Fractional Spinco Shares. As a result, there are no tax considerations in respect of the Reorganization Share Exchange for such Holders.

Stated Capital Reduction of Reunion Gold Class A Shares and Distribution of Spinco Shares to the Reunion Gold Class A Shareholders

The discussion on the stated capital reduction of Reunion Gold Class A Shares and distribution of Spinco Shares is not applicable to a Resident Holder or a Non-Electing Holder, as such Resident Holder or Non-Electing Holder will not hold any Reunion Gold Class A Shares after the exchange described in "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Resident in Canada – Creation of Reunion Gold Class B Shares and Exchange of Reunion Gold Class A Shares for Reunion Gold Class B Shares and Fractional Spinco Shares" and "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Not Resident in Canada: Non-Electing Reunion Gold Shareholders – Creation of Reunion Gold Class B Shares and Exchange of Reunion Gold Class A Shares for Reunion Gold Class B Shares and Fractional Spinco Shares" in this Circular, respectively.

Pursuant to the Arrangement, Reunion Gold shall assign and transfer to Spinco, the Spinco Assets and Spinco Liabilities in consideration for the issuance by Spinco to Reunion Gold, as proceeds of disposition, fully paid and non-assessable Spinco Shares. As part of the Arrangement, Reunion Gold will reduce the stated capital of the Reunion Gold Class A Shares by such amount as is required to distribute a Fractional Spinco Share on each Reunion Gold Class A Share then outstanding held by an Electing Holder and each Electing Holder shall receive a Fractional Spinco Share as a return of stated capital in respect of each Reunion Gold Class A Share held by such Electing Holder. The distribution of the Spinco Shares under the Arrangement is made by Reunion Gold as part of the Reunion Gold's reorganization of its business, which includes the launch of Spinco to focus on acquiring and exploring gold mineral properties in Guyana and the listing of Spinco on the TSX-V.

An amount paid by a "public corporation" (as defined in the Tax Act), such as Reunion Gold, to its shareholders on a return of the PUC in respect of any class of its shares is generally deemed to be a dividend by virtue of subsection 84(4.1) of the Tax Act unless a specific exemption applies. Subsection 84(4.1) of the Tax Act provides an exemption from the deemed dividend characterization where, inter alia, (i) subsection 84(2) of the Tax Act applies to the return of PUC, or (ii) the amount distributed on a return of PUC may reasonably be considered to have been derived from proceeds of disposition realized by the corporation, or by a person or partnership in which the corporation had a direct or indirect interest at the time that the proceeds were realized, from a transaction that occurred: (x) outside the ordinary course of the business of the corporation or the person or partnership that realized the proceeds, and (y) within the period that commenced 24 months before the payment.

Subsection 84(2) of the Tax Act provides that a distribution to or for the benefit of the shareholders of any class of shares made on a reorganization of Reunion Gold's business will not be taxed as a dividend so long as the amount or value of the Spinco Shares distributed does not exceed the amount by which the PUC of the Reunion Gold Class A Shares is reduced on the distribution. It is noted that the distribution of the Spinco Shares is being made by Reunion Gold as part of a number of changes that are contemplated in order to maximize the overall value of the Reunion Gold assets for Reunion Gold Shareholders, including the sale of certain assets to Spinco in exchange for Spinco Shares under the Spinco Reorganization, and launching Spinco as a TSX-V listed public company.

Management of Reunion Gold has determined that the distribution of the Spinco Shares made pursuant to the Arrangement is effectively being made on the reorganization of Reunion Gold's business. Accordingly, subsection 84(2) of the Tax Act should apply to the distribution by Reunion Gold of the Spinco Shares on the Reunion Gold Class A Shares. Moreover, management of Reunion Gold has determined that the distribution of Spinco Shares will be paid as a direct result of the proceeds of disposition that Reunion Gold received on the sale of the certain assets to Spinco in exchange for Spinco Shares under the Spinco Reorganization, that such transaction was outside of the ordinary course of Reunion Gold's business, and that no amount that may reasonably be considered to have derived from such proceeds will have been paid by Reunion Gold as a reduction of PUC prior to the distribution of the Spinco Shares. Accordingly, subsection 84(4.1) of the Tax Act should not apply to deem the distribution of the Spinco Shares as a return of PUC to be a dividend, subject to the limitations otherwise applicable under subsection 84(2) of the Tax Act described in the previous paragraph. However, these determinations are not free from doubt under the Tax Act or the Canada Revenue Agency's policies, and no legal opinion or advance tax ruling has been sought or obtained in this regard.

The PUC is computed according to the relevant provisions of the Tax Act. The general starting point for computing the PUC is the stated capital of Reunion Gold for corporate Law purposes for the relevant shares, which amount is then subject to adjustment according to detailed rules contained in the Tax Act. Management believes that the aggregate fair market value of the Spinco Shares will be less than the aggregate PUC of the Reunion Gold Class A Shares immediately before the distribution of the Spinco Shares to the Electing Reunion Gold Shareholders. Provided that management of Reunion Gold's assessment of the fair market value of the Spinco Shares is correct, no deemed dividend should arise upon the distribution of Spinco Shares through the Arrangement pursuant to subsection 84(2) of the Tax Act.

The distribution of the Spinco Shares as a return of capital will reduce the adjusted cost base of an Electing Holder's Reunion Gold Class A Shares by an amount equal to the fair market value, on the date of such distribution. If the amount so required to be deducted from the adjusted cost base of the Reunion Gold Class A Shares to a particular Electing Holder exceeds the Electing Holder's adjusted cost base of such Reunion Gold Class A Shares, the excess will be deemed to be a capital gain realized by such Electing Holder from a disposition of their Reunion Gold Class A Shares. See "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Not Resident in Canada: Electing Reunion Gold Shareholders – Holding and Disposing of the New GMIN Shares and the Spinco Shares – Disposing of the New GMIN Shares and the Spinco Shares" in this Circular.

Exchange of Reunion Gold Class A Shares or Reunion Gold Class B Shares for New GMIN Shares

The discussion under "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Not Resident in Canada: Non-Electing Reunion Gold Shareholders – Exchange of GMIN Shares or Reunion Gold Class A Shares or Reunion Gold Class B Shares for New GMIN Shares" in this Circular also applies to an Electing Holder.

Taxable Canadian Property

The discussion under "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Not Resident in Canada: Non-Electing Reunion Gold Shareholders – Taxable Canadian Property" in this Circular also applies to an Electing Holder.

Electing Holders whose Reunion Gold Shares, New GMIN Shares, or Spinco Shares may constitute taxable Canadian property should consult their own tax advisors.

Holding and Disposing of the New GMIN Shares and the Spinco Shares

Dividends on the New GMIN Shares and the Spinco Shares

The discussion under "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Not Resident in Canada: Non-Electing Reunion Gold Shareholders – Holding and Disposing of the New GMIN Shares and the Spinco Shares – Dividends on the New GMIN Shares and the Spinco Shares" in this Circular also applies to an Electing Holder.

Disposing of the New GMIN Shares and the Spinco Shares

The discussion under "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations – Holders Not Resident in Canada: Non-Electing Reunion Gold Shareholders – Holding and Disposing of the New GMIN Shares and the Spinco Shares – Disposing of the New GMIN Shares and the Spinco Shares" in this Circular also applies to an Electing Holder.

Electing Holders who dispose of the New GMIN Shares or the Spinco Shares that are or may be "taxable Canadian property" should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the Canadian federal income tax consequences to them of disposing of the New GMIN Shares or the Spinco Shares, including any resulting Canadian reporting obligations.

RISK FACTORS

Readers should carefully consider the following risk factors relating to the Arrangement. In addition to the risks set forth below, the proposed combination of the Parties pursuant to the Arrangement is subject to certain further risks.

For risk factors relating to GMIN, see "Information Concerning GMIN" in this Circular and "Appendix H – Information Concerning GMIN" attached to this Circular, as well as the GMIN AIF and the GMIN Annual MD&A, which are incorporated by reference into this Circular. For risk factors relating to Reunion Gold, see "Information Concerning Reunion Gold" in this Circular and "Appendix I – Information Concerning Reunion Gold" attached to this Circular, as well as the Reunion Gold AIF and the Reunion Gold Annual MD&A, which are incorporated by reference into this Circular. For risk factors relating to New GMIN, see "Information Concerning New GMIN" in this Circular and "Appendix J-1 – Information Concerning New GMIN" attached to this Circular. For risk factors relating to Spinco, see "Information Concerning Spinco" in this Circular and "Appendix K-1 – Information Concerning Spinco" attached to this Circular.

Readers are cautioned that the risk factors set forth below and referred to above are not exhaustive and additional risks and uncertainties, including those currently unknown or considered immaterial to the Parties, may also adversely affect either Party prior to the Arrangement, or New GMIN or Spinco following completion of the Arrangement.

The Arrangement is subject to satisfaction or waiver of several conditions, including receipt of requisite approvals, and there can be no certainty that all conditions precedent to the Arrangement will be satisfied or waived. Failure to complete the Arrangement could negatively impact the market price of the Shares.

Completion of the Arrangement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of several conditions, including, among other things, the requisite GMIN Arrangement Resolution Shareholder Approval and the requisite Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution Securityholder Approval, the receipt of the Final Order and the Stock Exchange Approval. In addition, completion of the Arrangement is conditional on, among other things, no action or circumstance occurring that would result in a Material Adverse Effect in respect of either Party.

Certain of the conditions to completion of the Arrangement are outside of the control of the Parties. There can be no certainty, nor can either Party provide any assurance, that all conditions precedent to the Arrangement will be satisfied or waived or, if satisfied or waived, when they will be satisfied or waived and, accordingly, the Arrangement may not be completed. If, for any reason, the Arrangement is not completed or its completion is materially delayed and/or the Arrangement Agreement is terminated, the market price of the Shares may be materially adversely affected. In such events, a Party's business, financial condition or results of operations could also be subject to various material adverse consequences, including that a Party would remain liable for costs relating to the Arrangement. See "Expenses of the Arrangement" in this Circular.

If the Arrangement is not completed and a Party decides to seek another acquisition, there can be no assurance that either Party will be able to find an asset or target company for acquisition at an equivalent or more attractive price than the Consideration to be paid pursuant to the Arrangement.

Each Party has dedicated significant resources to pursuing the Arrangement and is restricted from taking specified actions while the Arrangement is pending and failure to complete the Arrangement could negatively impact each Party's business.

Each Party is subject to customary non-solicitation provisions under the Arrangement Agreement. Subject to certain exceptions, the Arrangement Agreement also restricts each Party from taking specified actions, unless consented to by the other Party, until the Arrangement is completed, which may adversely affect the ability of the Parties to execute certain business strategies. These restrictions may prevent each Party from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the Arrangement. If the Arrangement is not completed for any reason, the announcement of the Arrangement, the dedication of each Party's resources to the completion thereof and the restrictions that were imposed on each Party under the Arrangement Agreement may have an adverse effect on the operations, financial condition and prospects of each of the Parties. For further details on such restrictions, see "Summary of Material Agreements in Connection with the Arrangement – Arrangement Agreement – Covenants – Non-Solicitation and Right to Match" in this Circular.

The pending Arrangement could cause the attention of the management of the Parties to be diverted from the Parties' dayto-day operations. These disruptions could be exacerbated by a delay in the completion of the Arrangement and could result in lost opportunities or negative impacts on performance, which could have a Material Adverse Effect if the Arrangement is not completed, and on the Parties' respective businesses, financial condition and results of operations following the Effective Date.

The Arrangement Agreement may be terminated by either Party in certain circumstances, which could result in significant costs and could negatively impact the market price of the Shares.

In addition to termination rights relating to the failure to satisfy the conditions of closing, each Party has the right, in certain circumstances, to terminate the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement. Accordingly, there is no certainty, nor can either Party provide any assurance, that the Arrangement Agreement will not be terminated by either Party prior to the completion of the Arrangement. Failure to complete the Arrangement could negatively impact the trading price of the Shares or otherwise adversely affect each Party's respective business. For further details on the termination rights of the Parties, see "Summary of Material Agreements in Connection with the Arrangement – Arrangement Agreement – Termination of the Arrangement Agreement" in this Circular.

The Termination Fee, if applicable, may discourage third parties from attempting to acquire a Party.

If the Arrangement is not completed for certain reasons, a Party may be required to pay the Termination Fee to the other Party, which may discourage other parties from making an Acquisition Proposal, even if such Acquisition Proposal could provide greater value to the applicable Shareholders than the Arrangement. Even if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated without payment of the Termination Fee, a Party may, in the future, be required to pay the Termination Fee in certain circumstances. Accordingly, if the Arrangement is not completed and the Arrangement Agreement is terminated, a Party may not be able to consummate another transaction that could provide greater value than what is provided for under the Arrangement without paying the Termination Fee. Payment of such amount may have an adverse effect on the cash resources of the paying Party and such Party's business, financial condition and results of operations. For further details on the Termination Fee, see "Summary of Material Agreements in Connection with the Arrangement – Arrangement Agreement – Termination Fees and Expenses" in this Circular.

Because the market price of the Shares will fluctuate and the Consideration is fixed, there can be no certainty with respect to the market value of the New GMIN Shares that Shareholders will receive as Consideration under the Arrangement.

The Consideration is fixed and will not increase or decrease due to fluctuations in the market price of the Shares. The market price of the Shares could each fluctuate significantly prior to the Effective Date in response to various factors and events, including, without limitation, the differences between the Parties' actual financial or operating results and those expected by investors and analysts, changes in analysts' projections or recommendations, changes in general economic or market conditions, and broad market fluctuations. The underlying cause of any such change in relative market price may constitute a Material Adverse Effect in respect of a Party, the occurrence of which could entitle the other Party to terminate the Arrangement Agreement or otherwise entitle either Party to terminate the Arrangement Agreement. As a result of such fluctuations, historical market prices are not indicative of future market prices or the market value of the Consideration that Shareholders may receive on the Effective Date. There can also be no assurance that the trading price of the New GMIN Shares will not decline following the completion of the Arrangement. Accordingly, the market value represented by the Consideration may also vary.

The relative trading price of the Shares prior to the Effective Date may be volatile.

Market assessments of the benefits of the Arrangement and the likelihood that the Arrangement will be consummated may impact the volatility of the market price of the Shares prior to the consummation of the Arrangement.

The Parties may be the targets of Legal Proceedings, including securities class actions and derivative lawsuits, which may delay or prevent the Arrangement from being completed.

The Parties may be the targets of Legal Proceedings, including securities class actions and derivative lawsuits, which could result in substantial costs and may delay or prevent the Arrangement from being completed. Securities class actions and derivative lawsuits are often brought against companies that have entered into an agreement to acquire a public company or to be acquired. Third parties may also attempt to bring Legal Proceedings against the Parties seeking to restrain the Arrangement or seeking monetary compensation or other remedies. Even if the Legal Proceedings are without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management's time and resources. Additionally, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the completion of the Arrangement, then that injunction may delay or prevent the Arrangement from being completed.

In addition, political and public attitudes towards the Arrangement could result in negative press coverage and other adverse public statements affecting the Parties. Adverse press coverage and other adverse statements could lead to investigations by regulators, legislators and law enforcement officials or in Legal Proceedings or otherwise negatively impact the Parties' ability to take advantage of various business and market opportunities. The direct and indirect effects of negative publicity, and the demands of responding to and addressing it, may have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Parties will incur substantial transaction fees and costs in connection with the Arrangement. If the Arrangement is not completed, the costs may be significant and could have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Parties have incurred and expect to incur additional material non-recurring expenses in connection with the Arrangement and completion of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement, including costs relating to obtaining required securityholder and regulatory approvals. Additional unanticipated costs may be incurred by the Parties in the course of coordinating the Parties' respective businesses, financial condition, and results of operations after the completion of the Arrangement. If the Arrangement is not completed, the Parties will need to pay certain costs relating to the Arrangement incurred prior to the date the Arrangement was abandoned, such as legal, accounting, financial advisory, proxy solicitation and printing fees. Subject to certain exceptions provided for in the Arrangement Agreement, each Party is liable for its own costs incurred in connection with the Arrangement. Such costs may be significant and could have a Material Adverse Effect.

The GMIN Board and the Reunion Gold Board considered financial projections prepared by each Parties' management in connection with the Arrangement. Actual performance of the Parties may differ materially from these projections.

The GMIN Board and the Reunion Gold Board, respectively, considered the GMIN Projections and the Reunion Gold Projections. All such Projections are based on assumptions and information available at the time the Projections were prepared. The Parties do not know whether any of the assumptions made will be realized. Such information can be adversely affected by known or unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Parties' control. Further, financial forecasts of this type are based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to risks and other factors such as company performance, industry performance, legal and regulatory developments, general business, economic, regulatory, market and financial conditions, as well as changes to the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Parties,

including the factors described in under this heading "Risk Factors" and under the heading "Joint Information Circular – Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Information" in this Circular, which factors and changes may impact such forecasts or the underlying assumptions. As a result of these contingencies, there can be no assurance that the Projections will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than projected. In view of these uncertainties, the references to the Projections in this Circular should not be regarded as an indication that the Parties, the GMIN Board, the Reunion Gold Board, or any of their respective advisors or any other recipient of this information considered, or now considers, it to be an assurance of the achievement of future results.

The GMIN Projections were prepared by GMIN's management for internal use and to, among other things, assist GMIN in evaluating the Arrangement. The GMIN Projections were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or toward compliance with IFRS, published guidelines of applicable Canadian Securities Authorities or the guidelines established by the Chartered Professional Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. Neither PwC, GMIN's independent auditors, nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined, or performed any procedures with respect to the GMIN Projections, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and they assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the GMIN Projections.

The Reunion Gold Projections were prepared by Reunion Gold's management for internal use and to, among other things, assist Reunion Gold in evaluating the Arrangement. The Reunion Gold Projections were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or toward compliance with IFRS, published guidelines of applicable Canadian Securities Authorities or the guidelines established by the Chartered Professional Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. Neither RCGT, Reunion Gold's independent registered public accounting firm, nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the Reunion Gold Projections, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and they assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the Reunion Gold Projections.

There could be unknown or undisclosed risks or liabilities of a Party for which the other Party is not permitted to terminate the Arrangement Agreement.

While each Party conducted due diligence with respect to the other Party prior to entering into the Arrangement Agreement, there are risks inherent in any transaction. Specifically, there could be unknown or undisclosed risks or liabilities of a Party for which the other Party is not permitted to terminate the Arrangement Agreement. Any such unknown or undisclosed risks or liabilities could materially and adversely affect a Party's business, financial condition and results of operations. Parties could encounter additional transaction and enforcement-related costs and may fail to realize any or all of the potential benefits from the Arrangement Agreement. Any of the foregoing risks and uncertainties could have a Material Adverse Effect.

Similarly, while Reunion Gold has conducted due diligence with respect to Spinco, there could be unknown or undisclosed risks or liabilities that could materially and adversely affect Spinco's business, financial condition and results of operations. Spinco could encounter additional transaction and enforcement-related costs and may fail to realize any or all of the potential benefits from the Arrangement Agreement. Any of the foregoing risks and uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on Spinco's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Uncertainty surrounding the Arrangement could adversely affect the Parties' retention of suppliers and personnel and could negatively impact future business and operations.

The Arrangement is dependent upon the satisfaction of various conditions, and as a result its completion is subject to uncertainty. In response to this uncertainty, the Parties' suppliers may delay or defer certain decisions regarding their ongoing business with a Party. Any change, delay or deferral of those decisions by suppliers could negatively impact the business, operations and prospects of the Parties, regardless of whether the Arrangement is ultimately completed.

Similarly, current and prospective personnel of the Parties may experience uncertainty about their future roles until such time as the Parties' plans with respect to such personnel are determined and announced. This may adversely affect the Parties' ability to attract or retain key personnel until the Arrangement is completed or terminated.

The Fairness Opinions do not reflect changes in circumstances that may have occurred or that may occur between the date of the Arrangement Agreement and the completion of the Arrangement.

The GMIN Board has not obtained any updated opinions from Cormark or RBC as of the date of this Circular, nor does the GMIN Board expect to receive updated, revised or reaffirmed opinions prior to the completion of the Arrangement. Changes in the operations and prospects of the Parties, general market and economic conditions and other factors that may be beyond the control of the Parties, and on which the GMIN Fairness Opinions were based, may significantly alter the value of the Parties or the market price of the Shares by the time the Arrangement is completed. The GMIN Fairness Opinions do not speak as of the time the Arrangement will be completed or as of any date other than the date of such opinion. Because Cormark and RBC will not be updating the GMIN Fairness Opinions, such opinions will not address the fairness of the Consideration, from a financial point of view, at the time the Arrangement is completed. The recommendation of the GMIN Board, however, is made as of the date of this Circular.

The Reunion Gold Board has not obtained any updated opinions from BMO Capital Markets or SCP as of the date of this Circular, nor does the Reunion Gold Board expect to receive updated, revised or reaffirmed opinions prior to the completion of the Arrangement. Changes in the operations and prospects of the Parties, general market and economic conditions and other factors that may be beyond the control of the Parties, and on which the Reunion Gold Fairness Opinions were based, may significantly alter the value of the Parties or the market price of the Shares by the time the Arrangement is completed. The Reunion Gold Fairness Opinions do not speak as of the time the Arrangement will be completed or as of any date other than the date of such opinion. Because BMO Capital Markets and SCP will not be updating the Reunion Gold Fairness Opinions, such opinions will not address the fairness of the Consideration, from a financial point of view, at the time the Arrangement is completed. The recommendation of the Reunion Gold Board, however, is made as of the date of this Circular.

The Parties' directors and senior officers may have interests in the Arrangement that are different from those of the GMIN Shareholders and Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders.

Certain of the directors and senior officers of the Parties negotiated the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, and the Reunion Gold Board (other than the Non-Participating Director) has recommended that the Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders vote in favour of the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution and the GMIN Board (other than the Non-Participating Directors) has recommended that the GMIN Shareholders vote in favour of the GMIN Arrangement Resolution. These directors and senior officers may have interests in the Arrangement that are different from, or in addition to, those of the GMIN Shareholders and Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders generally, including, but not limited to, (i) the continued employment of certain senior officers of the Parties by New GMIN or Spinco, (ii) the continued service of certain directors of the Parties as directors of New GMIN or Spinco, and (iii) the Non-Participating Director's interest in each of the Parties, each of which may present actual or potential conflicts of interest in connection with the Arrangement. GMIN Shareholders and Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders should be aware of these interests when they respectively consider the recommendations of the GMIN Board and the Reunion Gold Board. See "The Arrangement – Background to the Arrangement – GMIN", "The Arrangement – Background to the Arrangement – Reunion Gold", "The Arrangement – Recommendation of the GMIN Special Committee", "The Arrangement – Recommendation of the GMIN Board", "The Arrangement – Recommendation of the Reunion Gold Special Committee", "The Arrangement – Recommendation of the Reunion Gold Board", "The Arrangement – Canadian Securities Law Matters", "The Arrangement – Interests of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon at the GMIN Meeting" and "The Arrangement – Interests of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon at the Reunion Gold Meeting" in this Circular.

The Parties may be obligated to make substantial cash payments to Dissenting Shareholders.

Registered Shareholders have the right to exercise Dissent Rights and demand payment equal to the fair value of their Shares in cash. If Dissent Rights are properly exercised in respect of a significant number of Shares, the Parties (which will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of New GMIN at the time) will be obliged, under the Arrangement Agreement, to make a substantial cash payment to such Dissenting Shareholders, which could have an adverse effect on New GMIN's financial condition and cash resources. Further, each Party's obligation to complete the Arrangement is conditional upon the other Party's Shareholders holding no more than 10% of such Party's outstanding Shares having exercised Dissent Rights. See "The Arrangement – Dissent Rights" in this Circular.

Tax consequences of the Arrangement may differ from anticipated treatment.

The Arrangement relies on the application of certain rules in the Tax Act. There is no guarantee that a court or the Canada Revenue Agency will concur with the application of such rules.

The exchange of one Reunion Gold Class A Share for one Reunion Gold Class B Share and a Fractional Spinco Share pursuant to the Reorganization Share Exchange is intended to qualify as a tax-deferred share exchange under section 86 of the Tax Act. If the Arrangement is not treated as a reorganization of the capital of Reunion Gold, the exchange of Reunion Gold Class A Shares for Reunion Gold Class B Shares and Fractional Spinco Shares pursuant to the Arrangement would be treated as a taxable transaction for Canadian federal income tax purposes.

The distribution of the Spinco Shares to Reunion Gold Class A Shareholders on the reorganization of Reunion Gold's business is intended to qualify as a distribution under subsection 84(2) of the Tax Act. If the Arrangement is not treated as a reorganization of the business of Reunion Gold, the distribution of the Spinco Shares to Reunion Gold Class A Shareholders could be treated as a taxable transaction for Canadian federal income tax purposes.

As discussed above in "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations" in this Circular, certain tax proposals regarding the inclusion rate of capital gains and capital losses have been announced by the Canadian federal government. The Tax Act will be modified to give effect to the announced proposals; however, there is uncertainty as to the form of the proposals as no draft legislation has been published.

GMIN Shareholders and Reunion Gold Shareholders are encouraged to read "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations" in this Circular and to consult with their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the Arrangement, including the possible view that certain provisions of the Tax Act do not apply to the Arrangement.

RBC Dominion Securities Inc. P.O. Box 50 Royal Bank Plaza Toronto, Ontario M5J 2W7 Telephone: (416) 842-2000

April 21, 2024

The Board of Directors G Mining Ventures Corp. 7900 Blvd Taschereau Brossard, Quebec, J4X1C2

To the Board and the Special Committee:

RBC Dominion Securities Inc. ("RBC"), a member company of RBC Capital Markets, understands that G Mining Ventures Corp. ("GMIN") and Reunion Gold Corporation ("Reunion Gold") propose to enter into a definitive agreement to be dated April 22, 2024 (the "Arrangement Agreement") to effect a plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") under the Canada Business Corporations Act. Under the terms of the Arrangement, GMIN shareholders will receive common shares (the "Consideration") of a newly formed company ("New Parent") equivalent to Reunion Gold shareholders being issued 0.285 GMIN common shares for each Reunion Gold common share held. The number of common shares issued by New Parent to GMIN shareholders and Reunion Gold shareholders will be equivalent to the combined company undergoing a 4-to-1 share consolidation upon completion of the Arrangement, as 0.25 New Parent common shares will be issued for each GMIN common share and 0.07125 New Parent common shares will be issued for each Reunion Gold common share, resulting in existing GMIN shareholders and Reunion Gold shareholders owning approximately 57% and 43% of New Parent, respectively, on a fully-diluted basis, prior to the concurrent equity financing pursuant to the La Mancha Subscription Agreement and the Franco-Nevada Subscription Agreement, as defined below. In connection with the Arrangement, Reunion Gold shareholders will also receive common shares in a newly created company focused on gold exploration ("SpinCo") that will hold all of Reunion Gold's assets, other than the Oko West Gold Project ("Oko West") in Guyana, including the retention of \$15 million in cash. On completion of the Arrangement, New Parent and Reunion Gold shareholders will own 19.9% and 80.1%, respectively, of the outstanding common shares of SpinCo. The terms of the Arrangement will be more fully described in a joint management information circular (the "Circular"), which will be mailed to holders of GMIN common shares and Reunion Gold common shares in connection with the Arrangement.

RBC further understands that La Mancha Investments S.à.r.l. ("La Mancha"), Eldorado Gold Corporation, and Franco-Nevada Corporation ("Franco-Nevada"), as well as directors and members of senior management of GMIN, who in the aggregate own approximately 60% of the outstanding GMIN common shares, will enter into voting support agreements pursuant to which they will agree to vote their GMIN common shares in favour of the Arrangement (each a "GMIN Voting and Support Agreement"). RBC also understands that directors and members of senior management of Reunion Gold, and La Mancha, as well as two subsidiaries of, and a trust controlled by, Dundee Corporation, who in the aggregate own approximately 29% of the outstanding Reunion Gold common shares, will enter into voting support agreements pursuant to which they will agree to vote their shares in favour of the Arrangement (each a "Reunion Gold Voting and Support Agreement").

RBC also understands that La Mancha intends to exercise its existing anti-dilution right in connection with the Arrangement and as such will enter into a subscription agreement with GMIN pursuant to which it will subscribe for US\$25 million, which may be increased to US\$35 million at La Mancha's sole discretion, of common shares of GMIN immediately prior to the completion of the Arrangement (the "La Mancha Subscription Agreement"). La Mancha has announced its intention to purchase up to an additional US\$10 million of GMIN shares in the open market. RBC also understands that Franco-Nevada intends to subscribe for US\$25 million of common shares of GMIN immediately prior to the completion of the Arrangement, pursuant to a subscription agreement with GMIN (the "Franco-Nevada Subscription Agreement").

The board of directors (the "Board") of GMIN, through its special committee of the Board (the "Special Committee"), has retained RBC to provide advice and assistance to the Board and the Special Committee in evaluating the Arrangement, including the preparation and delivery to the Board and to the Special Committee of RBC's opinion (the "Fairness Opinion") as to the fairness of the consideration under the Arrangement from a financial point of view to the shareholders of GMIN. RBC has not prepared a valuation of GMIN, Reunion Gold, or any of their respective securities or assets and the Fairness Opinion should not be construed as such.

Engagement

GMIN initially contacted RBC regarding a potential advisory assignment in June 2023, and RBC was formally engaged by GMIN through an agreement between GMIN and RBC (the "Engagement Agreement") dated effective as of June 26, 2023. The terms of the Engagement Agreement provide that RBC is to be paid a fee for its services as financial advisor, including fees that are contingent on completion of the Arrangement or certain other events. In addition, RBC is to be reimbursed for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and to be indemnified by GMIN in certain circumstances. RBC consents to the inclusion of the Fairness Opinion in its entirety and a summary thereof in the Circular and to the filing thereof, as necessary, by GMIN with the securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in each province of Canada.

Relationship With Interested Parties

Neither RBC, nor any of its affiliates is an insider, associate or affiliate (as those terms are defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) of GMIN, Reunion Gold or any of their respective associates or affiliates. RBC has not been engaged to provide any financial advisory services nor has it participated in any financing involving GMIN, Reunion Gold or any of their respective associates or affiliates, within the past two years, other than the services provided under the Engagement Agreement. There are no understandings, agreements or commitments between RBC and GMIN, Reunion Gold or any of their respective associates or affiliates with respect to any future business dealings. RBC may, in the future, in the ordinary course of its business, perform financial advisory or investment banking services for GMIN, Reunion Gold or any of their respective associates or affiliates.

RBC acts as a trader and dealer, both as principal and agent, in major financial markets and, as such, may have had and may in the future have positions in the securities of GMIN, Reunion Gold or any of their respective associates or affiliates and, from time to time, may have executed or may execute transactions on behalf of such companies or clients for which it received or may receive compensation. As an investment dealer, RBC conducts research on securities and may, in the ordinary course of its business, provide research reports and investment advice to its clients on investment matters, including with respect to GMIN, Reunion Gold or the Arrangement.

Credentials of RBC Capital Markets

    1. such other corporate, industry and financial market information, investigations and analyses as RBC considered necessary or appropriate in the circumstances.

RBC has not, to the best of its knowledge, been denied access by GMIN to any information requested by RBC. RBC requested a certificate of representation from Reunion Gold; however, Reunion Gold declined to provide such a certificate.

Assumptions and Limitations

With the Board's approval and as provided for in the Engagement Agreement, RBC has relied upon the completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of all of the financial (including, without limitation, the financial statements of GMIN and Reunion Gold) and other information, data, advice, opinions or representations obtained by it from public sources, senior management of GMIN and Reunion Gold, and their consultants and advisors (collectively, the "GMIN Information", as it relates to GMIN and its associates and affiliates and the "Reunion Gold Information" as it relates to Reunion Gold and its associates and affiliates). The Fairness Opinion is conditional upon such completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of such GMIN Information and Reunion Gold Information. Subject to the exercise of professional judgment and except as expressly described herein, we have not attempted to verify independently the completeness, accuracy or fair presentation of any of the Information.

Senior officers of GMIN have represented to RBC in a certificate delivered as of the date hereof, among other things, that (i) the GMIN Information (as defined above) provided to RBC orally by, or in the presence of, any officer or employee of GMIN, or in writing by GMIN, any of its affiliates or any of their respective agents or advisors, for the purpose of preparing the Fairness Opinion was, at the date provided to RBC, and is at the date hereof complete, true and correct in all material respects, and did not and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact, and did not and does not omit to state any material fact necessary to make the GMIN Information, or any statement contained therein, not misleading in light of the circumstances in which it was provided to RBC; and that (ii) since the dates on which the GMIN Information was provided to RBC, except as disclosed in writing to RBC, there has been no material change or change in material facts, financial or otherwise, in or relating to the financial condition, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), business, operations or prospects of GMIN or any of its subsidiaries, and there has been no material change in the GMIN Information or other material change or change in material facts, in each case, that might reasonably be considered material to the Fairness Opinion.

In preparing the Fairness Opinion, RBC has made several assumptions, including that all of the conditions required to implement the Arrangement will be met.

The Fairness Opinion is rendered on the basis of securities markets, economic, financial and general business conditions prevailing as at the date hereof and the condition and prospects, financial and otherwise, of GMIN, Reunion Gold and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, as they were reflected in the GMIN Information and the Reunion Gold Information and as they have been represented to RBC in discussions with management of GMIN. In its analyses and in preparing the Fairness Opinion, RBC made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of RBC or any party involved in the Arrangement. F-1-5

The Fairness Opinion has been provided for the use of the Board and the Special Committee and may not be used by any other person or relied upon by any other person other than the Board and the Special Committee without the express prior written consent of RBC. The Fairness Opinion is given as of the date hereof and RBC disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting the Fairness Opinion which may come or be brought to RBC's attention after the date hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that there is any material change in any fact or matter affecting the Fairness Opinion after the date hereof, RBC reserves the right to change, modify or withdraw the Fairness Opinion.

RBC believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of the analyses or the factors considered by it, without considering all factors and analyses together, could create a misleading view of the process underlying the Fairness Opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Any attempt to do so could lead to undue emphasis on any particular factor or analysis. The Fairness Opinion is not to be construed as a recommendation to any GMIN shareholder as to whether to vote in favour of the Arrangement.

Fairness Analysis

Approach to Fairness

In considering the fairness of the Consideration under the Arrangement, from a financial point of view, to GMIN shareholders, RBC considered and relied upon the following: (i) a comparison of the consideration to be received by Reunion Gold shareholders under the Arrangement, given the economic equivalence of New Parent to GMIN had GMIN issued shares directly to Reunion Gold shareholders, to the results of a net asset value analysis of Reunion Gold, under a variety of sensitivity analyses; (ii) a comparison of the multiples implied by the consideration to be received by Reunion Gold shareholders under the Arrangement, given the economic equivalence of New Parent to GMIN had GMIN issued shares directly to Reunion Gold shareholders, to the multiples of selected precedent transactions, to the extent publicly available; (iii) a comparison of the exchange ratio implied by the Arrangement to the exchange ratios implied by dividing the values per share implied by a discounted cash flow analysis of Reunion Gold by the values per share implied by a discounted cash flow analysis of GMIN, in each case, under a variety of sensitivity analyses; and (iv) an analysis of the pro forma impact of the Arrangement on GMIN.

Fairness Conclusion

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, RBC is of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Consideration to be received by shareholders of GMIN under the Arrangement is fair from a financial point of view to the shareholders of GMIN.

Yours very truly,

RBC DOMINION SECURITIES INC.

PRIOR VALUATIONS

The Company has represented to Cormark Securities that there have not been any prior valuations (as defined in MI 61-101) of the Company or its material assets or its securities in the past 24-month period. Cormark Securities has not relied upon any valuation or appraisal of another person in connection with the Fairness Opinion.

ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITATIONS

Cormark Securities has not been asked to prepare and has not prepared a formal valuation of the Company or any of its securities or assets pursuant to MI 61-101 or otherwise, and the Fairness Opinion should not be construed as such. Cormark Securities was similarly not engaged to review any legal, tax or accounting aspects of the Transaction. Cormark Securities has relied upon, without independent verification or investigation, the assessment by the Company and its legal, tax, regulatory and accounting advisors with respect to legal, tax, regulatory and accounting matters. In addition, the Fairness Opinion does not address the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to any other transaction involving the Company or the prospects or likelihood of any alternative transaction or any other possible transaction involving the Company, its assets or its securities. The Fairness Opinion is limited to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Consideration to be received by G Mining Shareholders in connection with the Transaction and not the strategic or legal merits of the Transaction. In determining the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Consideration to be received by G Mining Shareholders pursuant to the Transaction, Cormark Securities has not considered the fairness of the La Mancha Private Placement to La Mancha. The Fairness Opinion does not provide assurance that the best possible price or transaction was obtained. Nothing contained herein is to be construed as a legal interpretation, an opinion on any contract or document, or a recommendation to invest or divest. In addition, the Fairness Opinion is not, and should not be construed as, advice as to the price at which the G Mining Shares, Reunion Shares or shares of SpinCo may trade, or the value of G Mining, Reunion, or SpinCo, at any future date.

The Fairness Opinion has been provided for the exclusive use of the Board of Directors and the Special Committee and should not be construed as a recommendation to vote in favour of the Transaction or relied upon by any other person. Except for the inclusion of the Fairness Opinion in its entirety and a summary thereof (in a form acceptable to us) in the Circular, the Fairness Opinion is not to be reproduced, disseminated, quoted from, or referred to (in whole or in part) without our prior written consent. Cormark Securities will not be held liable for any losses sustained by any person should the Fairness Opinion be circulated, distributed, published, reproduced, or used contrary to the provisions of this paragraph.

The Fairness Opinion is rendered as of the Opinion Date on the basis of securities markets, economic and general business and financial conditions prevailing on that date. It must be recognized that fair market value, and hence fairness from a financial point of view, changes from time to time, not only as a result of internal factors, but also because of external factors such as changes in the economy, commodity prices, environmental laws and regulations, markets for minerals, competition and changes in consumer/investor preferences. Cormark Securities disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting the Fairness Opinion which may come or be brought to Cormark Securities' attention after the Opinion Date. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that there is any material change in any fact or matter affecting the Fairness Opinion after the Opinion Date, Cormark Securities reserves the right to change, modify or withdraw the Fairness Opinion.

With the approval of the Board of Directors, Cormark Securities has relied upon the completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of all of the financial and other information, data, advice, opinions and representations obtained by it from public sources or provided to it by or on behalf of, or at the request of, the Company or Reunion and their respective directors, officers, agents and advisors or otherwise (collectively, the "Information") and Cormark Securities has assumed that the Information did not omit to state any material fact or any fact necessary to be stated to make the Information not misleading. The Fairness Opinion is conditional upon the completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of the Information and assumes there are no undisclosed material facts, no new material facts arising since the date of the Information or other undisclosed material changes with respect to the Company. Subject to the exercise of professional judgment and except as expressly described herein, Cormark Securities has not attempted to independently verify or

investigate the completeness, accuracy, or fair presentation of any of the Information. We have not conducted any physical inspection of the properties or facilities of G Mining or Reunion or any other person in connection with the Transaction.

With respect to any financial and operating forecasts, projections, financial models (including in respect of the Mgmt. Model and the Adj. Model, to which we have not made any changes other than utilizing commodity price assumptions that we believe more accurately represents the consensus of knowledgeable observers in the industry so that we might more accurately compare the Company to its peers), estimates and/or budgets provided to Cormark Securities and used in the analyses supporting the Fairness Opinion, Cormark Securities has noted that projecting future results of any business is inherently subject to uncertainty. Cormark Securities has assumed that such forecasts, projections, financial models, estimates and/or budgets were reasonably prepared consistent with industry and past practices on a basis reflecting the best currently available assumptions, estimates and judgments of management of the Company or Reunion, as applicable, as to the future financial performance of the Company or Reunion, as applicable, and are (or were at the time and continue to be) reasonable in the circumstances. In rendering the Fairness Opinion, Cormark Securities expresses no view as to the reasonableness of such forecasts, projections, financial models (including the Mgmt. Model and the Adj. Model), estimates and/or budgets or the assumptions on which they are based. Cormark has assumed that Reunion will exercise its option to acquire a 75% interest in the Dorlin Project by completing and delivering a feasibility study to Société Minière Yaou-Dorlin ("SMYD") by January 30, 2025.

The President & CEO and the Vice President, Finance & Chief Financial Officer of the Company (the "Company Officers") have made certain representations to Cormark Securities in the Officers' Certificate with the intention that Cormark Securities may rely thereon in connection with the preparation of the Fairness Opinion, including that: (a) all information (including the financial models, technical information, business plans, forecasts and other information), data, advice, opinions and representations provided to Cormark Securities, directly or indirectly, orally or in writing by the Company, Reunion or any of their respective associates, affiliates, agents, advisors, consultants or representatives in connection with Cormark Securities' provision of services under the Engagement Letter, including, in particular, for the purpose of preparing the Fairness Opinion, is at the date hereof, or in the case of historical information, was at the date of preparation, complete, true and correct in all material respects as it relates to the Company, Reunion or their respective subsidiaries or the Transaction, as applicable, and does not and did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact (as such term is defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) in respect of the Company, Reunion or their respective subsidiaries or the Transaction and does not and did not omit to state a material fact in respect of the Company, Reunion or their respective subsidiaries or the Transaction necessary to make the information not misleading in light of the circumstances under which the information was provided to Cormark Securities;

In its analyses and in preparing the Fairness Opinion, Cormark Securities has made numerous assumptions with respect to expected industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Cormark Securities or any party involved in the Transaction. Cormark Securities has also assumed that the executed Agreement (including the Plan of Arrangement) and the Voting Agreements will not differ in any material respect from the drafts that we reviewed, that the Transaction will be consummated in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, substantially within the time frames specified in the Agreement without any waiver or material amendment of any material term or condition thereof, that the Transaction was negotiated at arm's length, that any governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Transaction will be obtained without any adverse effect, that the disclosure provided or incorporated by reference in the Circular to be filed on SEDAR+ and mailed to G Mining Shareholders in connection with the Transaction and any other documents in connection with the Transaction prepared by a party to the Agreement will be accurate in all material respects and will comply with the requirements of all applicable laws, that all of the conditions required to implement the Transaction will be met, that the procedures being followed to implement the Transaction are valid and effective, and that the Circular will be distributed to G Mining Shareholders in accordance with applicable laws.

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

In support of the Fairness Opinion, Cormark Securities has performed certain financial, comparative and other analyses on Reunion and G Mining based on the methodologies and assumptions that Cormark Securities considered appropriate in the circumstances for the purposes of providing its Fairness Opinion.

Reunion Financial Analysis

In the context of the Fairness Opinion, Cormark Securities has considered the following principal methodologies, in its financial analysis of Reunion (as each term is defined below):

  • (i) Precedent Transactions Analysis; and
  • (ii) Comparable Public Companies Analysis.

Precedent Transactions Analysis

Cormark Securities reviewed the purchase prices and transaction multiples paid in selected precedent transactions that Cormark Securities, based on its experience in the mining industry, considered relevant.

Cormark Securities analyzed the multiple of price to net asset value ("NAV") per share based on the median of equity research analyst estimates at the date of each precedent transaction. In addition, Cormark Securities analyzed the multiple of enterprise value to total contained mineral resources ("EV/oz") and adjusted this multiple for current spot gold prices ("Adjusted EV/oz"). Adjusted EV/oz is calculated as EV/oz multiplied by the current spot gold price divided by spot gold price at deal announcement. Cormark Securities analyzed these multiples for select transactions since 2020 in which the target companies were precious metals companies with pre-producing assets with an implied transaction value greater than US\$100,000,000.

To calculate the implied per share equity value ranges for Reunion under the Precedent Transactions Analysis, Cormark Securities applied the following metrics:

  • (i) Price to NAV per share in respect of Reunion
  • (ii) Adjusted EV/oz in respect of Reunion

Comparable Public Companies Analysis

Cormark Securities reviewed public market trading statistics for select publicly listed precious metals companies with development projects that we considered relevant. Using these trading statistics, we then determined ranges of multiples that would be applied to financial metrics of Reunion for the purpose of this analysis.

To calculate the implied per share equity value ranges for Reunion under the Comparable Public Companies Analysis, Cormark Securities applied the following metrics:

  • (i) Price to NAV per share in respect of Reunion
  • (ii) EV/oz in respect of Reunion

G Mining Financial Analysis

In the context of the Fairness Opinion, Cormark Securities has considered the principal methodology of Comparable Public Companies Analysis in its financial analysis of G Mining.

Cormark Securities analyzed the multiple of price to NAV per share, price to 2025 expected operating cash flow ("2025E CF") per share, and price to 2026 expected operating cash flow ("2026E CF") per share based on the median of equity research analyst estimates of each comparable company. Cormark Securities reviewed public market trading statistics for select publicly listed precious metals producers and advanced developers that we considered relevant. Using these trading statistics, we then determined ranges of multiples that would be applied to financial metrics of G Mining for the purpose of this analysis.

To calculate the implied per share equity value ranges for G Mining under the Comparable Public Companies Analysis, Cormark Securities applied the following metrics:

  • (iii) Price to NAV per share in respect of G Mining
  • (iv) Price to 2025E CF per share in respect of G Mining
  • (v) Price to 2026E CF per share in respect of G Mining

Relative Contribution Analysis

Cormark Securities considered the relative contribution from each G Mining and Reunion across selected financial and physical metrics, expressed as a percentage of the combined total for each metric. For the financial metrics (NAV; 2028 to 2035 expected operating cash flow; and 2028 to 2035 expected free cash flow), the relative contribution is then compared against the equity ownership split implied by the Consideration for each of G Mining and Reunion, excluding any contribution from SpinCo. For the physical metrics (total attributable reserves and resources; and 2028 to 2035 expected production), the relative contribution is compared against each of G Mining and Reunion's share of the combined enterprise value, excluding any contribution from SpinCo.

Other Factors Considered

Although not forming part of our financial analysis, Cormark Securities considered a number of other factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

  • (i) historical trading prices of G Mining and Reunion on the TSX/TSXV during the 52-week period ending April 19, 2024;
  • (ii) forward share price targets for G Mining and Reunion as at April 19, 2024, as reflected in equity research analyst reports available to Cormark Securities;
  • (iii) the premiums implied by the Consideration relative to the closing price and 20-day volume weighted average trading price of Reunion Shares on the TSXV based on the closing price and 20-day volume weighted average price of Reunion Shares as at April 19, 2024;

  • (iv) the relative share ownership of SpinCo by TopCo and the Reunion Shareholders; and

  • (v) other factors or analyses, which we have judged, based on our experience in rendering such opinions, to be relevant in the context of the Transaction, including certain risks relating to the Transaction and other strategic alternatives, including the maintenance of the status quo.

FAIRNESS OPINION

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and such other matters as we considered relevant, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Consideration to be received by the G Mining Shareholders pursuant to the Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the G Mining Shareholders.

Yours very truly,

CORMARK SECURITIES INC.

SCP has not, to the best of its knowledge, been denied access by the Company to any information requested by SCP.

7. Assumptions and Limitations

Our Opinion is subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein. We have relied upon and have assumed the completeness, accuracy and fair representation of all financial and other information, data, documents, materials, advice, opinions and representations, including information relating to the Company and the Arrangement (the "Information") provided to us by or on behalf of the Company and its respective subsidiaries or their respective agents, and this Opinion is conditional upon the completeness, accuracy and fairness of such Information. We have not been requested to, or attempted to, verify independently the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the Information.

Senior officers of the Company has represented to SCP (i) the Information provided to SCP relating to the Company and the Arrangement was, at the date the Information was provided true and correct in all material respects and did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the Information not misleading in light of the circumstances under which the Information was provided; and (ii) since the respective dates on which the Information was provided to SCP, except as generally disclosed or as disclosed to SCP (including in more current Information), there has been no material change (as such term is defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) or new material fact, financial or otherwise, relating to the Arrangement, the financial condition, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), business, operations or prospects of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, associates or affiliates or any change in any material fact or in any material element of any of the Information, or new material fact, any of which is of a nature as to render any portion of the Information untrue or misleading in any material respect or which would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on this Opinion. With respect to any portions of the Information that constitute forecasts, projections, estimates (including, without limitation, estimates of future resource or reserve additions) or budgets, such forecasts, projections, estimates or budgets were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best then available assumptions,

estimates and judgments of management of the Company having regard to the Company's business, plans, financial condition and prospects and were not, as of the date they were prepared, in the reasonable belief of management of the Company, misleading in any material respect in light of the assumptions made therefor.

In preparing the Opinion, we have assumed that the executed Arrangement Agreement will not differ in any material respect regarding the Consideration payable to the Shareholders from the drafts that we reviewed, and that the Arrangement will be consummated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement without waiver of, or amendment to, any term or condition that is in any way material to our analysis.

This Opinion is rendered on the basis of market, economic, financial and general business and other conditions of the Company prevailing as at the date hereof and as reflected in the Information made available to SCP. In our analyses and in connection with the preparation of our Opinion, we made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, markets and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of any party involved in the Arrangement. In rendering this Opinion as of the date hereof, SCP has assumed that there are no undisclosed material facts relating to the Company, or their respective businesses, operations, capital or future prospects. Any changes therein may affect this Opinion and, although we reserve the right to change, withdraw or supplement this Opinion in such event or in the event that subsequent developments affect this Opinion, we disclaim any obligation to advise any person of any change that may come to our attention or to withdraw, update, revise or reaffirm this Opinion after the date hereof.

The Opinion is provided to the Special Committee and the Board of Directors for its exclusive use only in considering the Arrangement and may not be used or relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose without our prior written consent. The Opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any Shareholder should vote or act on any matter relating to the Arrangement or a recommendation to the Special Committee and the Board of Directors to enter into the Arrangement Agreement. Except for the inclusion of the Opinion in its entirety and references thereto and a summary thereof (in a form acceptable to us) in the Circular, the Opinion is not to be reproduced, disseminated, quoted from or referred to (in whole or in part) without our prior written consent.

While in the opinion of SCP, our assumptions used in preparing this Opinion are reasonable in the current circumstances, some or all of these assumptions may prove to be incorrect. SCP believes that the analyses and factors considered in arriving at this Opinion must be considered as a whole and are not amenable to partial analyses or summary description and that selecting portions of the analyses and the factors considered, without considering all factors and analyses together, could create a misleading view of the process employed and the conclusions reached. Any attempt to do so could lead to undue emphasis on any particular factor or analysis. In arriving at this Opinion, SCP has not attributed any particular weight to any specific analyses or factor but rather based this Opinion on a number of factors deemed appropriate by SCP based on SCP's experience in rendering such opinions. Accordingly, this Opinion should be read in its entirety.

This Opinion does not address the overall fairness of the Arrangement to the holders of any other class of securities (only the fairness of the Consideration to the Shareholders as expressly set out in the Opinion), or other constituencies of the Company, or the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to be paid or payable to any of the officers, directors, consultants or employees of the Company in their capacities as such and in connection with the Arrangement. Our Opinion is not intended to be and does not constitute an opinion concerning the trading price or value of any securities of the Company following the announcement, completion or termination of the Arrangement.

This Opinion does not address the relative merits of the Arrangement as compared to other business or financial strategies that might be available to the Company or any other party to the Arrangement, nor does it address the underlying business decision of the Company, or any other party to the Arrangement, to engage in the Arrangement. SCP is not a legal, regulatory, tax or accounting expert and was not engaged to review any legal, regulatory, tax or accounting aspects of the Arrangement and, accordingly, does not express any view thereon or the sufficiency of this Opinion for your purposes and has assumed the accuracy and completeness of assessments by the Company and its advisors with respect to legal, regulatory, tax and accounting matters. SCP has assumed, with Reunion Gold's agreement, that the Arrangement is neither a "related party transaction" nor an "insider bid" as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), and, accordingly, with respect to Reunion Gold, the Arrangement is not subject to the valuation requirements under MI 61-101.

The Opinion is given as of the date hereof and, although we reserve the right to change or withdraw the Opinion if we learn that any of the Information that we relied upon in preparing the Opinion was inaccurate, incomplete or misleading in any material respect, we disclaim any obligation to change or withdraw the Opinion, to advise any person of any change that may come to our attention or to update the Opinion after the date of this Opinion.

This Opinion does not constitute and should not be construed as a formal valuation of Reunion Gold or its securities or assets.

8. Fairness Considerations

In considering the fairness of the Consideration under the Arrangement Agreement from a financial point of view to the Shareholders, SCP principally considered and relied upon, among other things, the following: (a) historical share price trading; (b) precedent transaction analysis; (c) comparable trading analysis; and (d) other qualitative factors.

Historical Share Price Trading:

SCP reviewed the trading history of Reunion Gold on the TSX Venture Exchange taking into consideration the 52 week intraday low to high per share trading price ranges, and other market statistics deemed relevant.

Precedent Transaction Analysis:

The precedent transaction analysis considers transaction multiples in the context of change of control transactions involving public-traded mining companies or assets. SCP has reviewed publicly available information involving the acquisition of non-producing gold mining companies and assets that SCP considered relevant. SCP considered the multiples of price to net asset value ("P/NAV") and enterprise value to in-situ gold equivalent resources ("EV/oz") to be the most relevant metrics. SCP has also reviewed premiums paid to shareholders of target companies in select change of control transactions considered by SCP to be relevant.

Comparable Trading Analysis:

The comparable trading analysis considers public market trading statistics for select publicly listed non-producing gold mining companies that SCP considered relevant. SCP considered the multiple of P/NAV and EV/oz to be the most relevant metrics.

Other Qualitative Factors:

SCP has considered other qualitative factors with respect to the Arrangement, including but not limited to the form of consideration received by shareholders, development risks, financing risks and other information which we have judged to be relevant.

9. Opinion

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and such other matters as SCP considers relevant, it is the opinion of SCP that, as of the date hereof, the Consideration to be received by the Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders.

Yours truly,

SCP Resource Finance LP

Holders of New GMIN Shares will be entitled to: (a) one vote for each New GMIN Share held at all meetings of holders of New GMIN Shares; (b) receive any dividend declared by the New GMIN Board from time to time, in their absolute discretion, in accordance with applicable Law; and (c) receive the remaining property of New GMIN on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of New GMIN or any other distribution of assets of New GMIN for the purposes of winding up its affairs, whether voluntary or involuntary.

Dividends

Neither Party has declared nor paid any dividends on their securities for each of the three most recently completed financial years or during their current financial years and neither Party anticipates paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. It is not currently anticipated that New GMIN will pay dividends on its New GMIN Shares. In the future, the New GMIN Board may declare dividends according to its assessment of the financial position of New GMIN, taking into account its financing requirements for future growth and other factors that New GMIN may deem relevant in the circumstances.

Incentive Plan

It is expected that New GMIN will adopt the GMIN Omnibus Plan. For further details with respect to the GMIN Omnibus Plan, see "Appendix M-3 – GMIN Annual General Meeting – Named Executive Officers and Directors – Oversight and Description of Directors' and Named Executive Officers' Compensation – Equity-Based Compensation" in this Circular.

Pursuant to the Arrangement, each GMIN Option or each Replacement Reunion Gold Option, as applicable, that is outstanding at the Effective Time shall be assumed by New GMIN and exchanged for a Replacement Option to purchase that number of New GMIN Shares equal to the product of the GMIN Exchange Ratio or the Reunion Gold Exchange Ratio, as applicable. See "The Arrangement – Details of the Arrangement" in this Circular.

Similarly, pursuant to the Arrangement, each GMIN RSU or GMIN DSU that is outstanding at the Effective Date shall entitle its holder to receive, on exercise, at the discretion of GMIN, that number of New GMIN Shares as is equal to the GMIN Exchange Ratio for reach GMIN Share that was otherwise issuable thereunder.

Concurrently with the completion of the Arrangement, New GMIN expects to form an Audit & Risk Committee, an Environment, Social & Governance Committee, a Health & Safety and Technical Committee and a Human Resources & Compensation Committee of the New GMIN Board and will adopt customary policies and mandates in respect of same in compliance with applicable Canadian Securities Laws that align with the existing practices of GMIN.

New GMIN will also be a party to supplemental Warrant Documentation. For further details with respect to the material contracts to be entered into by New GMIN, see "Summary of Material Agreements in Connection with the Arrangement" in this Circular.

Risk Factors

The risk factors disclosed elsewhere in this Circular or in the documents incorporated by reference into this Circular relating to GMIN and Reunion will apply to New GMIN upon completion of the Arrangement.

For risk factors relating to GMIN, see "Information Concerning GMIN" in this Circular and "Appendix H – Information Concerning GMIN" attached to this Circular, and the GMIN AIF and the GMIN Annual MD&A, which are incorporated by reference into this Circular. For risk factors relating to Reunion Gold, see "Information Concerning Reunion Gold" in this Circular and "Appendix I – Information Concerning Reunion Gold" attached to this Circular, and the Reunion Gold AIF and the Reunion Gold Annual MD&A, which are incorporated by reference into this Circular. For risk factors relating to Spinco, see "Information Concerning Spinco" in this Circular and "Appendix K-1 – Information Concerning Spinco" attached to this Circular. See also "Summary of Material Agreements in Connection with the Arrangement – Investor Rights Agreements – Spinco IRA" in this Circular.

Readers are cautioned that the risk factors set forth below and referred to above are not exhaustive and additional risks and uncertainties, including those currently unknown or considered immaterial to the Parties, may also adversely affect New GMIN following completion of the Arrangement.

New GMIN may be unable to successfully integrate the businesses of the Parties and realize the anticipated benefits of the Arrangement. The failure to successfully integrate the businesses of the Parties could have a material adverse effect on the market price of the New GMIN Shares following completion of the Arrangement.

The Arrangement has been agreed to with the expectation that its completion will result in an increase in sustained profitability and enhanced growth opportunities for New GMIN following completion of the Arrangement. These anticipated benefits will depend in part on whether the Parties' operations can be integrated in an efficient and effective manner.

The integration requires the dedication of substantial effort, time and resources on the part of New GMIN's management which may divert management's focus and resources from other strategic opportunities and from operational matters during this process. In addition, the integration process could result in the disruption of existing relationships with suppliers, employees and other constituencies of each Party. There can be no assurance that New GMIN's management will be able to integrate the operations of each of the businesses successfully or achieve any of the benefits that are anticipated as a result of the Arrangement. Most operational and strategic decisions and certain staffing decisions with respect to the integration have not yet been made. These decisions and the integration of the Parties will present challenges to management, including the integration of systems and personnel of the Parties which may be geographically separated and lead to unanticipated liabilities and costs. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of the respective ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect the ability of New GMIN's management to maintain relationships with suppliers or employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Arrangement. The performance of New GMIN's operations after completion of the Arrangement could be adversely affected if New GMIN cannot retain key employees to assist in the integration and operation thereof.

The consummation of the Arrangement may pose special risks, including one-time write-offs, restructuring charges and unanticipated costs. Although the Parties and their respective advisors have conducted due diligence on the various operations, there can be no guarantee that each Party will be aware of any and all liabilities of the other Party or resulting from the Arrangement. As a result of these factors, it is possible that certain benefits expected from the Arrangement may not be realized. Any inability of management to successfully integrate the operations could have an adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of New GMIN.

The New GMIN Pro Forma Financial Statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be indicative of the results of operations or financial condition of New GMIN following completion of the Arrangement.

The New GMIN Pro Forma Financial Statements included in the Circular are presented for illustrative purposes only to show the effect of the Arrangement and should not be considered to be an indication of the financial condition or results of operations of New GMIN following completion of the Arrangement. For example, the New GMIN Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared using the consolidated historical financial statements of the Parties and do not represent a financial forecast or projection. In addition, the New GMIN Pro Forma Financial Statements are based in part on certain assumptions regarding the Arrangement. These assumptions may not prove to be accurate, and other factors may affect New GMIN's results of operations or financial condition following completion of the Arrangement. Accordingly, the historical financial information and New GMIN Pro Forma Financial Statements included in this Circular do not necessarily represent a Party's results of operations and financial condition had the Parties operated as a combined entity during the periods presented, or of New GMIN's results of operations and financial condition following the Arrangement.

In preparing the New GMIN Pro Forma Financial Statements, the Parties have given effect to, among other items, the completion of the Arrangement and the issuance of the New GMIN Shares to Shareholders. The New GMIN Pro Forma Financial Statements do not reflect all of the costs that are expected to be incurred by New GMIN in connection with the Arrangement. For example, the impact of any incremental costs incurred in integrating the Parties is not reflected in the New GMIN Pro Forma Financial Statements. For further details, see the notes to the New GMIN Pro Forma Financial Statements included in "Appendix J-2 – New GMIN Pro Forma Financial Statements" attached to the Circular.

Failure by the Parties to comply with applicable Laws prior to the Arrangement could subject New GMIN to penalties and other adverse consequences following completion of the Arrangement.

The Parties are subject to Anti-Corruption Laws. The Anti-Corruption Laws prohibit companies and their representatives from making improper payments to officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. In addition, Anti-Corruption Laws require the maintenance of records relating to transactions and an adequate system of internal controls over accounting. There can be no assurance that either Party's internal control policies and procedures, compliance mechanisms or monitoring programs will protect it from recklessness, fraudulent behaviour, dishonesty or other inappropriate acts or adequately prevent or detect possible violations under Anti-Corruption Laws. A failure by a Party to comply with the Anti-Corruption Laws could result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and may subject New GMIN to other liabilities, including fines, prosecution, potential debarment from public procurement and reputational damage, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial condition of New GMIN following completion of the Arrangement. Investigations by Governmental Entities could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and consolidated financial condition of New GMIN following completion of the Arrangement.

The Parties are also subject to a wide variety of Laws relating to the environment, health and safety, Taxes, employment, labour standards, money laundering, terrorist financing and other matters in the jurisdictions in which they operate. A failure by either Party to comply with any such legislation prior to the Arrangement could result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and may subject New GMIN to other liabilities, including fines, prosecution and reputational damage, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of New GMIN following completion of the Arrangement. The compliance mechanisms and monitoring programs adopted and implemented by either of the Parties prior to the Arrangement may not adequately prevent or detect possible violations of such applicable Laws. Investigations by Governmental Entities could also have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of New GMIN following completion of the Arrangement.

As of the date hereof, the New GMIN Shares are not listed on a stock exchange.

None of the New GMIN Shares are listed on any stock exchange. The GMIN Shares are currently listed and posted for trading on the TSX under the symbol "GMIN" and quoted on the OTCQX under the symbol "GMINF". The Reunion Gold Shares are currently listed and posted for trading on the TSX-V under the symbol "RGD" and quoted on the OTCQX under the symbol "RGDFF". It is expected that the Shares will be delisted from all stock exchanges on which they are currently listed or quoted on the completion of the Arrangement.

There is currently no market for any of the New GMIN Shares. It is a condition of closing the Arrangement that the TSX provide conditional listing approval in respect of the New GMIN Shares, including the New GMIN Shares issued pursuant to the Arrangement. Listing will be subject to New GMIN satisfying all original listing requirements of the TSX. There is no assurance that New GMIN will satisfy such requirements. As of the date hereof, the TSX has neither reviewed nor approved, conditionally or otherwise, an application to list the New GMIN Shares, and there is no certainty that the TSX will approve such listing, conditionally or otherwise, or, if approved, as to the timing of the listing of the New GMIN Shares for trading through the facilities of the TSX. If listing approval is ultimately obtained, trading in the New GMIN Shares is expected to commence concurrently with the delisting of the Shares, or shortly thereafter.

Following the Arrangement, the trading price of the New GMIN Shares cannot be guaranteed, may be volatile and could be less than, on an adjusted basis, the current trading prices of the Shares due to various market-related and other factors.

Securities markets have a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. Securities of companies in the mining industry have experienced substantial volatility in the past, often based on factors unrelated to the financial performance or prospects of the companies involved. These factors include global economic developments and market perceptions of the mining industry. There can be no assurance that continuing fluctuations in price will not occur. If the New GMIN Shares are approved for listing on the TSX, the market price per New GMIN Share is also likely to be affected by changes in New GMIN's financial condition or results of operations. Other factors unrelated to the performance of New GMIN that may have an effect on the price of New GMIN Shares include the following: (i) changes in the market price of the commodities that the Parties sell and/or purchase; (ii) current events affecting the economic situation in Canada, the United States, South America and internationally; (iii) trends in the global mining industries; (iv) regulatory and/or government actions, rulings or policies; (v) changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts or rating agencies; (vi) acquisitions and financings; (vii) the economics of current and future projects and operations of New GMIN; (viii) quarterly variations in operating results; (ix) the operating and share price performance of other companies, including those that investors may deem comparable; (x) the issuance of additional equity securities by New GMIN or the perception that such issuance may occur; and (xi) purchases or sales of blocks of New GMIN Shares.

Border Controversy Between Guyana and Venezuela.

The internationally recognized border between Guyana and Venezuela was established in 1899 by an arbitration panel. The territory of Guyana has been continuously administered and controlled by Guyana since that time. The Venezuelan government claims that the Essequibo territory, a large area within Guyana that is west of the Essequibo River extending to the border of Venezuela, belongs to Venezuela. The resurgence of protests by the Venezuelan government in recent years has corresponded with the commencement of oil production and offshore oil discoveries within Guyana's borders.

On December 3, 2023, the government of Venezuela held a consultative referendum over control of the Essequibo territory. The results of the referendum, including Venezuela's unilateral claim over the Essequibo territory and disregard for the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice in this matter, have been disputed. The Guyanese and Venezuelan governments have since agreed not threaten or use force against one another in any circumstances, including those consequential to any existing controversies between the two nations, including disputes with respect to the Essequibo territory.

New GMIN will be engaged in the business of developing the Oko West Project and, eventually, of also exploring (and seeking to acquire) gold mineral properties. The Oko West Project is located in the Essequibo territory. Future government actions with respect to the territorial dispute over the Essequibo territory cannot be predicted. If the dispute between Guyana and Venezuela continues or escalates, it may adversely affect the Oko West Project and, as a result, New GMIN's business, results of operations, financial condition and outlook.

The risk factors disclosed in the GMIN AIF, the GMIN Annual MD&A, the Reunion Gold AIF and the Reunion Gold Annual MD&A, all of which are incorporated by reference herein and are available under the Parties' respective SEDAR+ profiles at www.sedarplus.ca, will apply to New GMIN upon completion of the Arrangement.

APPENDIX J-2 NEW GMIN PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The New GMIN Pro Forma Financial Statements have been compiled from the underlying financial statements of the Parties using accounting policies consistent with GMIN's accounting policies to illustrate the effect of the Arrangement. Adjustments have been made to prepare the New GMIN Pro Forma Financial Statements, which adjustments are based on certain assumptions. Both the adjustments and the assumptions made in respect thereof are described in the notes to the New GMIN Pro Forma Financial Statements.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information and the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to reflect: (i) the operating or financial results that would have occurred had the Arrangement actually occurred at the times contemplated by the notes to the New GMIN Pro Forma Financial Statements; or (ii) of the results expected in future periods.

Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited - Expressed in United States Dollars, except per share amounts)

1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements (the "Pro Forma Financial Statements") have been prepared by management of the combined business of G Mining Ventures Corp. ("GMIN") and Reunion Gold Corporation ("Reunion Gold") (together the "New GMIN") pursuant to a plan of arrangement under Section 192 of the Canada Business Corporations Act in an all-equity business combination transaction (the "Arrangement"), upon and subject to the terms and conditions of the arrangement agreement, as amended on June 7, 2024 (the "Arrangement Agreement").

The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared for illustrative purposes only and give effect to the transactions as described in Note 3 and pursuant to the assumptions and adjustments described in Note 4. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position as at March 31, 2024 has been prepared as if the transaction described in Note 3 had occurred on March 31, 2024. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of loss for the year ended December 31, 2023 have been prepared as if the transaction described in Note 3 had occurred on January 1, 2023.

The Pro Forma Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of the financial position and results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had been completed on the dates or for the periods presented, nor do they claim to project the results of operations or financial position of New GMIN for any future period or as of any future date. Any potential synergies that may be realized and integration costs that may be incurred after the Arrangement date have been excluded from the Pro Forma Financial Statements.

In preparing the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of loss, the following historical information, that was prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), was used:

  • a) For the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position as at March 31, 2024:
  • i. the unaudited interim consolidated statement of financial position of GMIN as at March 31, 2024
  • ii. the unaudited interim consolidated statement of financial position of Reunion Gold as at March 31, 2024
  • iii. the unaudited interim carve-out statement of financial position of the exploration properties to be assigned and transferred to Greenheart Gold Inc. ("Spinco") as at March 31, 2024
  • b) For the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024:
  • i. the unaudited interim consolidated statement of loss of GMIN for the three months ended March 31, 2024
  • ii. the unaudited interim consolidated statement of comprehensive loss of Reunion Gold for the three months ended March 31, 2024
  • iii. the interim carve-out statement of comprehensive loss of the exploration properties to be assigned and transferred to Spinco for the period from February 9, 2024, to March 31, 2024

1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

  • c) For the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of loss for the year ended December 31, 2023:
  • i. the audited consolidated statement of loss of GMIN for the year ended December 31, 2023
  • ii. the audited consolidated statement of comprehensive loss of Reunion Gold for the year ended December 31, 2023

The Pro Forma Financial Statements are presented in United States dollars ("U.S. dollars"), unless otherwise noted. Reunion Gold's unaudited interim consolidated statement of financial position as at March 31, 2024, unaudited interim consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and audited consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2023, presented in Canadian dollars, have been converted to U.S. dollars using the Bank of Canada's daily exchange rate on March 31, 2024 of 1.3550, the average for the three months ended March 31, 2024 of 1.3488 and the average for the year ended December 31, 2023 of 1.3497, respectively. For the Arrangement, an exchange rate of 1.3748, based on Bank of Canada's daily exchange rate on April 19, 2024, has been used.

The Pro Forma Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the description of the transactions in the Notices of Annual and Special Meetings and Joint Management Information Circular of G Mining Ventures Corp. and Reunion Gold Corporation (the "JMIC") and historical consolidated financial statements, together with the notes thereto, of GMIN, Reunion Gold and Spinco, referred to above which are available at www.sedarplus.ca and are also incorporated by reference for GMIN and Reunion Gold in the JMIC and included in the JMIC for Spinco.

In the opinion of management, these Pro Forma Financial Statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation, in all material respects, of the transaction described in Note 3 to the Pro Forma Financial Statements and applied on a basis consistent with GMIN's accounting policies.

2 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The material accounting policies used in preparing the Pro Forma Financial Statements are set out in GMIN's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB with the following addition:

Investment in an associate

Associates are entities over which a company has significant influence, but not control. The financial results of the entity's investment in an associate are included in a company's results according to the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the company's share of profit or loss of an associate after the date of acquisition.

In preparing the Pro Forma Financial Statements, a review of available information was undertaken to identify accounting policy differences between GMIN, Reunion Gold and Spinco. Certain assets, liabilities and expenses of Reunion Gold and Spinco have been reclassified to conform to GMIN's financial statements presentation and the presentation of the consolidated statement of loss have been changed in the Pro Forma Financial Statements. Furthermore, Reunion Gold's accounting for exploration and evaluation expenditures and other related items have been conformed to GMIN's accounting policies for such items.

3 AGREEMENT AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

On April 22, 2024, GMIN and Reunion Gold entered into the Arrangement Agreement, whereby, subject to the terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement, GMIN and Reunion Gold shareholders will receive common shares of New GMIN. Under the Arrangement, and subject to adjustment as contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement, each share of GMIN will ultimately be exchanged for 0.25 of a common share of New GMIN and each share of Reunion Gold will ultimately be exchanged for 0.07125 of a common share of New GMIN and 0.05 of a common share of Spinco (the "Spinco Shares"). Under the Arrangement Agreement, all GMIN options and all Reunion Gold options will be exchanged for equivalent New GMIN options (the "Replacement Options") and all GMIN restricted share units and deferred share units will be exchanged for equivalent New GMIN awards and will be subject to such adjustment as contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, all holders of GMIN warrants and Reunion Gold warrants will be entitled to be issued and to receive upon payment of the original exercise price such number of New GMIN common shares based on the respective exchange ratios. The Arrangement will result in the GMIN and Reunion Gold shareholders holding approximately 57% and 43% respectively of the New GMIN on a fully-diluted basis and prior to the concurrent equity financing. Accordingly, New GMIN is considered the continuity of GMIN and the accounting acquirer of Reunion Gold, excluding the assets transferred to Spinco into which a 19.9% interest is considered to be acquired as described below.

In addition and in accordance with the Arrangement, Reunion Gold will enter into a contribution and conveyance agreement with Spinco, pursuant to which Reunion Gold will assign and transfer to Spinco all of its assets other than the Oko West gold project, including CA\$15,000,000 (\$11,070,111 using an exchange rate of 1.3550) in cash as part of the consideration paid for the Oko West gold project and for such number of Spinco Shares which, following the distribution of the Spinco Shares to Reunion Gold shareholders, would result in New GMIN indirectly holding approximately 19.9% of the outstanding Spinco Shares and the Reunion Gold shareholders holding approximately 80.1% of the outstanding Spinco Shares. Following the Arrangement, New GMIN and Spinco will enter into an investor rights agreement which will provide certain customary investor and other rights exercisable by New GMIN, including the right to nominate one director to Spinco's board of directors. Considering the investor rights agreement, the interest held in Spinco is considered as an investment in associate in the context of the preparation of the Pro Forma Financial Statements.

Concurrently to the above transactions and subject to the terms and conditions of subscription agreements entered into between GMIN and each of La Mancha Investments S.à.r.l. ("La Mancha") and Franco-Nevada Corporation ("Franco-Nevada"), La Mancha and Franco-Nevada will subscribe for such number of GMIN Shares as is equal to, in the case of La Mancha, \$25,000,000, which may be increased to \$35,000,000 at La Mancha's sole discretion, and, in the case of Franco-Nevada, \$25,000,000 (together, the "Private Placements").

The acquisition of Reunion Gold (excluding the assets transferred to Spinco) is expected to be accounted for as a purchase of assets based on the definition of a business in IFRS 3, Business Combinations. The Pro Forma Financial Statements assumes that the cost of the acquisition will be based on the value of GMIN's common shares and related acquisition costs. The consideration paid will be first allocated to the monetary net assets and the residual value will be allocated to the non-monetary assets based on their estimated relative fair values at the time of closing of the Arrangement and are based on preliminary management estimates and are subject to final valuation adjustments.

The preliminary estimates of the consideration paid, and the net assets acquired, which are subject to change, are summarized as follows:

4 PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

The Pro Forma Financial Statements include the following assumptions and adjustments to give effect to the transactions:

  • a) To record the Private Placements of \$50,000,000 (\$25,000,000 for La Mancha and \$25,000,000 for Franco-Nevada) at a subscription price of CA\$2.279 in GMIN common shares, representing the issuance of 30,228,504 GMIN common shares. Using the GMIN exchange ratio of 0.25, 7,557,126 of New GMIN common shares will ultimately be issued in connection with the completion of the Arrangement.
  • b) To reflect the share of net loss in the pro forma consolidated statements of loss using the equity method of accounting for the investment in Spinco.
  • c) To reflect the acquisition of Reunion Gold by New GMIN for a total consideration of \$623,897,115 as described in Note 3. Based on the number of Reunion Gold common shares and options outstanding and the Reunion Gold exchange ratio of 0.07125, New GMIN will issue approximately 87,676,000 common shares to Reunion Gold shareholders and 4,066,000 Reunion Gold Replacement Options to Reunion Gold option holders. In addition, New GMIN will reserve 4,638,007 common shares for the exercise of the warrants outstanding at the original exercise price and based on the Reunion Gold exchange ratio. Transaction costs of GMIN are estimated at \$6,134,864, including an amount of \$5,760,935 to be incurred after March 31, 2024, and \$373,929 already paid and recognised as Deferred Costs in the GMIN unaudited interim consolidated statements of financial position as at March 31, 2024. Those costs are to be capitalized as a component of the cost of the net assets acquired.

The pro forma adjustment also reflects the effects of the allocation of the consideration paid to the investment in Spinco estimated to \$2,319,415 and the acquired exploration and evaluation assets after taking into consideration Reunion Gold's transaction costs estimated to \$18,798,836.

d) To eliminate the historical book values of Reunion Gold's shareholders' equity after giving effect to the transfer of assets to Spinco and the reclassification adjustment to conform material accounting policy related to exploration and evaluation expenses (Note 2).

APPENDIX K-1 INFORMATION CONCERNING SPINCO

NOTICE TO READER

The following is a summary of the principal features of Greenheart Gold Inc. ("Spinco") and its expected business and operations which should be read together with the other information and financial statements contained in the joint management information circular (the "Circular") of G Mining Ventures Corp. ("GMIN") and Reunion Gold Corporation ("Reunion Gold"), to which this Appendix K-1 is attached. The information contained in this Appendix K-1, unless otherwise indicated, is given as of June 7, 2024, the date of the Circular. All capitalized terms used in this Appendix K-1 that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth elsewhere in the Circular.

Unless otherwise indicated herein, references to "\$", "C\$" or "Canadian dollars" are to Canadian dollars and references to "US\$" or "U.S. dollars" are to United States dollars. See also in the Circular "Joint Management Circular – Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Information".

CORPORATE STRUCTURE AND HISTORY

Spinco was incorporated under the name "15963982 Canada Inc." under the Canada Business Corporations Act ("CBCA") on April 19, 2024, for the purposes of completing the Arrangement, and subsequently changed its name to "Greenheart Gold Inc." on May 10, 2024. The registered and records office of Spinco is located at the offices of Stikeman Elliott LLP, 199 Bay Street, 5300 Commerce Court West, Toronto, Ontario M5L 1B9.

Spinco has not carried on any active business since its incorporation. Spinco is not a reporting issuer (or the equivalent) in any jurisdiction. Spinco has applied to have its common shares (the "Spinco Shares") listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V"). Listing is subject to the approval of the TSX-V in accordance with its initial listing requirements. As of the date of the Circular, the TSX-V has not conditionally approved Spinco's listing application and there is no assurance that the TSX-V will approve the listing application. Upon completion of the Arrangement, Spinco expects to become a reporting issuer (or the equivalent) in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Saskatchewan.

Spinco is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reunion Gold. Pursuant to the Arrangement, Spinco will acquire the Spinco Assets (as defined herein) and assume the Spinco Liabilities (as defined herein) on the terms and conditions set forth in the Contribution and Conveyance Agreement (as defined herein). Upon the completion of the Arrangement, Spinco will cease to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reunion Gold and it is expected that 80.1% of the Spinco Shares will be owned by former Reunion Gold Shareholders (other than Dissenting Shareholders), and 19.9% of the Spinco Shares will be owned by Reunion Gold, which will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of a newly formed parent company ("New GMIN").

Following completion of the Arrangement, Spinco will own the Spinco Assets, which will be comprised of, among other things, Reunion Gold's rights and interests in the Majorodam Project and in certain mineral rights in Guyana (collectively, the "Spinco Properties") and \$15 million in cash. See in this Appendix K-1, "Description of the Business – General Description of the Business" and "Available Funds and Principal Purposes – Available Funds", and see in the Circular, "The Arrangement".

While Spinco has applied to list the Spinco Shares on the TSX-V, there can be no assurance as to when, or if, the Spinco Shares will be listed on the TSX-V or on any other stock exchange. As at the date of the Circular, there is no market through which the Spinco Shares, to be distributed pursuant to the Arrangement, may be sold, and holders of Spinco Shares ("Spinco Shareholders") may not be able to resell them. This may affect the pricing of the Spinco Shares in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Spinco Shares, and the extent of the regulations to which Spinco is subject. See in this Appendix K-1, "Description of Spinco Securities" and "Risk Factors – No Assurance of Listing of Spinco Shares".

As of the date of the Circular, Spinco does not have any subsidiaries. However, upon completion of the Arrangement, it is expected that Spinco will own all of the issued and outstanding shares of Abuya Resources Inc.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

General Description of the Business

As of the date of the Circular, Spinco has no assets or operations. Following completion of the Arrangement, Spinco will have acquired the following assets: (i) all the shares issued and outstanding in Abuya Resources Inc., (ii) all of the rights and interests of Reunion Gold in the option agreement with Stargold N.V. ("Stargold") dated effective May 20, 2024 related to the Majorodam Project in Suriname, and (iii) \$15,000,000 in cash (collectively, with the Spinco Properties, the "Spinco Assets"), and will have assumed all liabilities or obligations in respect of Spinco Assets and all Indemnified Liabilities (the "Spinco Liabilities"), as described in "Appendix K-2 – Spinco Audited Financial Statements", "Appendix K-3 – Spinco Pro-Forma Financial Statements" and "Appendix K-4 – Carve Out Financial Statements for Spinco" attached to the Circular.

Following completion of the Arrangement, Spinco's focus will be on acquiring and exploring gold mineral properties in Suriname and Guyana (outside of the tract of land that lies within the area that is 20 kilometer radius beyond the external boundaries of the Oko West Project, but excluding two areas outlined in the geographic map which is attached as Schedule A to the Spinco IRA (as defined herein) (the "Area of Interest")), leveraging the management team's knowledge and experience in these jurisdictions, and demonstrated track record of moving from a grassroots discovery to resource definition.

Spinco will conduct exploration activities at the Majorodam Project in Suriname. The Majorodam Project comprises a right of exploitation for gold and other minerals totalling approximately 100 square kilometres and is located 120 km south of Paramaribo and approximately 20 km to the south of the Saramacca gold deposit formally owned by IAMGOLD Corporation ("IAMGOLD"). This proximity to existing and proven mineralization, as well as the location within a major northwest striking shear corridor controlling the western edge of this greenstone belt, are two of the factors that have led Reunion Gold to this project. The Majorodam Project is an early-stage gold exploration project and, effective upon closing the Arrangement, will be considered by Spinco to be its sole material property for the purposes of NI 43-101. See in this Appendix K-1, "Principal Properties". The Majorodam Project is described in more detail in the Majorodam Technical Report (as defined herein), a copy of which is available under Reunion Gold's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. For greater certainty, the Majorodam Technical Report is not incorporated by reference into this Circular and does not form part of this Circular.

Spinco's strategy will be to create shareholder value through the acquisition and advancement of exploration of mineral properties to identify gold resources.

Market Opportunities

After the completion of the Arrangement, Spinco will consider the acquisition of additional mineral property interests with the objectives of: (i) creating additional value for shareholders; and (ii) helping to minimize exploration risk by attempting to diversify Spinco's portfolio of properties. There can be no assurances that Spinco will be able to identify any such properties, or to acquire any such properties on favourable terms, and that if mineral properties are acquired, it will have adequate financial resources to explore and/or develop such properties. See in this Appendix K-1, "Risk Factors — Commodity Price Fluctuations and Cycles", "Risk Factors — Exploration Activities May Not Be Successful" and "Available Funds and Principal Purposes".

Environmental Regulation

All aspects of Spinco's field operations will be subject to environmental regulations and generally may require approval by appropriate regulatory authorities prior to commencement. Any failure to comply with applicable environmental regulations could result in fines and penalties. Should any projects advance to the production stage, then more time and capital would be required in satisfying environmental protection requirements. Compliance with such legislation can require significant expenditures or result in operational restrictions. Breaches of such requirements may also result in the suspension or revocation of necessary licenses and authorizations, potential civil liability and the imposition of fines and penalties, all of which might have a significant negative impact on Spinco. See in this Appendix K-1, "Risk Factors — Environmental Protection".

Social and Environmental Policies

Building and maintaining good corporate citizenship is an important component of Spinco's business practices. Spinco plans to adopt policies and codes of conduct that are essential to its operations.

Employees

As of the date of the Circular, Spinco does not have any employees. Following completion of the Arrangement, Spinco expects to have approximately 15 full time employees and non-employee service providers. Most of Spinco's initial employees and service providers will be former employees and service providers of Reunion Gold. Spinco also intends to retain, from time to time, contractors and consultants to perform specialized services.

Spinco believes that its success is dependent on the performance of its management and key employees, many of whom will have specialized knowledge and skills relating to the precious metals and mineral production and exploration business. Spinco believes it will have adequate personnel with the specialized skills required to successfully carry out its operations. See in this Appendix K-1, "Risk Factors — Key Personnel".

Specialized Skill and Knowledge

Most aspects of Spinco's business require specialized skills and knowledge. Such skills and knowledge include the areas of geology, mining, metallurgy, engineering, environmental issues, permitting, social issues, capital markets, financing and accounting.

Competitive Conditions

The mineral exploration industry is competitive and Spinco will be required to compete for the acquisition of project opportunities. As a result of this competition Spinco may not be able to acquire or retain prospective mineral projects, technical experts that can find, develop and mine such mineral properties and interests, workers to operate its mineral properties, and capital to finance exploration, development and future operations. Spinco will be competing with other mining companies, some of which have greater financial resources and technical facilities, for the acquisition of mineral property interests, the recruitment and retention of qualified employees and for necessary investment capital with which to fund its operations and projects. See in this Appendix K-1, "Risk Factors — Competitive Conditions".

Cyclical and Seasonal

Spinco's mineral exploration activities may be subject to seasonality due to adverse weather conditions, including, without limitation, inclement weather, and restricted access due to heavy rain or other weather-related factors.

Further, the mining business, and particularly the precious metals industry, including the gold industry, is subject to metal price cycles. Moreover, the mining and mineral exploration business is subject to global economic cycles affecting, among other things, the marketability and price of gold products in the global marketplace. See in this Appendix K-1, "Risk Factors — Commodity Price Fluctuations and Cycles".

Market Trends

Spinco's financial success will depend upon the extent to which it can discover mineralization and the economic viability of the development of its properties. Such development may take years to complete, and the resulting income, if any, is difficult to determine with any certainty. The sales value of any mineralization discovered by Spinco will be largely dependent upon factors beyond Spinco's control, such as the market value of the commodities produced.

There are significant uncertainties regarding the price of minerals and the availability of equity financing for mineral exploration and development. Spinco's future performance is largely tied to the development of its mineral property interests and the overall financial markets. Financial markets are likely to be volatile in Canada well into 2024, reflecting ongoing concerns about the stability of the global economy.

As a result, Spinco may have difficulties raising equity financing for mineral exploration and development, particularly without excessively diluting Spinco Shareholders. Continued market volatility and slower worldwide economic growth may limit Spinco's ability to explore and develop the Majorodam Project, the other Spinco Properties and/or other property interests acquired in the future.

Apart from these and the risk factors noted under the heading "Risk Factors" of this Appendix K-1, management is not aware of any other trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that would have a material effect on Spinco's business, financial condition or results of operations.

PRINCIPAL PROPERTIES

If the Arrangement is completed, Spinco will, directly or indirectly, acquire Reunion Gold's interests in the Spinco Properties. Following completion of the Arrangement, Spinco will focus its efforts on the exploration of the Majorodam Project and completing the acquisition of other mineral property interests in Suriname and Guyana. Effective upon closing of the Arrangement, the Majorodam Project will be considered by Spinco to be its sole material property for the purposes of NI 43- 101.

Majorodam Project

On May 20, 2024, Reunion Gold entered into an option agreement with Stargold pursuant to which Reunion Gold was granted (i) a lease entitling it to conduct exploration activities on the project and (ii) an option to acquire all the rights, title and interest in the Majorodam gold project during a period of up to 12 years. The Majorodam Project comprises a right of exploitation for gold totalling 99.85 square kilometres and is located 120 km south of Paramaribo, the capital city of Suriname.

US\$150,000 was paid to Stargold as initial consideration. To maintain the option, annual payments of US\$75,000 will be payable on the second to fifth anniversary and US\$50,000 on the 6th to 11th anniversary of the date of the agreement. During the first two years, a minimum of US\$200,000 must be spent annually in project expenditures, US\$500,000 during the third year and US\$1,000,000 during each of the fourth and fifth years. The option agreement can be terminated at any time, upon delivery of thirty (30) days prior written notice.

Technical Report

The Majorodam Project is described in more detail in the technical report titled "NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Majorodam Gold Project – Sipaliwini and Brokopondo districts of Suriname, South America", dated effective May 20, 2024 (the "Majorodam Technical Report") prepared by Ross Sherlock of Ph.D. P.Geo. of Tantalus Geoscience Services Ltd., a copy of which is available under Reunion Gold's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. For greater certainty, the Majorodam Technical Report is not incorporated by reference into this Circular and does not form part of this Circular.

Project Description and Location

The Majorodam Project is located in the Sipaliwini and Brokopondo districts of Suriname, approximately 120 kilometers south-southwest of Paramaribo, the capital of Suriname, and 11 km west of Lake Brokopondo. The property covers approximately 10,000 hectares. The centre of the property is at approximately N004o 48.5' - W055o 20.8'.

The Majorodam Project comprises a right of exploitation issued to Stargold by Ministerial Order (GMD No. 223/23) on March 7, 2024 for a period of 10 years expiring on March 7, 2034. The right of exploitation covers an area of 10,000 hectares.

Reunion Gold has entered into an option agreement on May 20, 2024 with Stargold, the titleholder of the Majorodam right of exploitation. Pursuant to the option agreement, Stargold has granted to Reunion Gold an exclusive lease of the right of exploitation entitling Reunion Gold to conduct exploration activities during the option period. Reunion Gold also has the option to acquire a 100% undivided right, title, and interest in the Majorodam Project during the option period. The option is valid for an initial period of six (6) years and can be renewed for an additional period of (6) years subject to annual option payments and minimum exploration expenditures. Stargold will be entitled to receive a royalty equal to 0.75% of the net smelter returns from gold produced from the Majorodam Project. Upon exercise of the option and completion of a feasibility study and an environment and social impact assessment, Reunion Gold will have to negotiate a mineral agreement with the Government of Suriname.

All permits are in place to conduct the recommended work program. In the authors opinion there is no significant factors and risks that may affect access, title, or the right or ability to perform work on the property.

Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure & Physiography

The Majorodam Project is accessed primarily by the paved Afobakkaweg highway which runs roughly north south near the eastern boundary of the Majorodam Project. Access to the Majorodam Project from the highway and travel within the Majorodam Project is by 4-wheel drive vehicle or ATV. The Majorodam Project can be accessed year-round without interruption, although dirt roads can deteriorate significantly during the rainy seasons.

The Majorodam Project is located at about latitude N004 ο 48.5' and has a tropical humid climate with two dry seasons, one from approximately May through July and the other from November to January. However, the onset and duration of the rainy season will vary from year to year. Throughout the year, the average daily temperature varies between 21 ο and 34 οC.

The Majorodam Project has no infrastructure outside of a rudimentary road network and artisanal miner's camp. The region's infrastructure is well developed with paved roads, communications and general services in various small towns. The capital city of Suriname, Paramaribo with a population of 240,000 people, can provide services, supplies, equipment and personnel to meet most if not all of the demands of an exploration program.

The Majorodam Project geomorphology is variable with a central ridge striking roughly northeast-southwest reaching elevations of approximately 350 meters above sea level, Majorodam ridge. To the east of the central ridge, the property is characterized by broad alluvial flats at approximately 90 m elevation. The Majorodam Project is covered by thick vegetation and trees typical of the tropical region.

The project has sufficient surface rights for a potential mining operation, including associated infrastructure.

History

Informal small-scale artisanal activity is reported to have continued for at least 19 years (2005 to present) in various locations within the Majorodam Project area. The first exploration in the area was by Golden Star Resources Ltd. ("Golden Star") in the 1990s who undertook a Bulk Leach Extractable Gold stream sediment survey which highlighted anomalous drainages in the area. Guardian Minerals, a private US based exploration company undertook exploration activities in 2014-2015, including grab samples. In 2015, IAMGOLD's exploration company in Suriname, SurEx, undertook two field programs on the Majorodam Project. The results of the above exploration programs are not available, except as summary diagrams.

In 2020, Stargold contracted an airborne magnetic / radiometric geophysical survey and collected hand-auger samples and a series of stream sediment panned concentrates. Hand-auger samples were analyzed by Fire Assay with an AAS finish while gold grain counts were completed on the stream sediment concentrates. In 2022, Stargold conducted a mapping and prospecting program, mostly to validate features identified in the airborne magnetic survey. The geophysical data is available as images and the geochemical data available as a database; however, assay certificates were not available and QA/QC standards were not used to the best of the author's knowledge. The author has not been able to independently verify the historic exploration data.

Geology Setting and Mineralization

The Majorodam Project is situated within the Guiana Shield, at the northeastern edge of the Amazonian Craton. The Guiana Shield is over 900,000 km2 and covers eastern Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, the northern part of Brazil, and easternmost Colombia.

The Precambrian crystalline basement of Suriname consists of two high-grade metamorphic gneiss belts of Archean and Lower Proterozoic age, a likewise Lower Proterozoic volcanic-sedimentary greenstone belt, and a granitoid-volcanic complex.

The supracrustal rocks in Suriname are known as the Marowijne Group, and occupy large areas in NE and E Suriname, and some smaller areas in the north and northwest. They form part of a more or less continuous, generally E-W to NW-SE striking greenstone belt along the northeastern margin of the Guiana Shield (Gibbs, 1980). The Marowijne Group is part of the Trans-Amazonian Province and comprises large Rhyacian (2.20-2.05 Ga) granite-greenstone belts, consisting of volcano-sedimentary rocks metamorphosed to greenschist facies, intrusive granitoids, and TTG (tonalite-trondhjemitegranodiorite) associated gneisses.

The geology of the Majorodam Project is characterized by a large tonalite-quartz diorite intrusion to the east and a series of mafic to ultramafic volcanic rocks to the west part of the Paramaca mafic volcanic suite, part of the Marowijne Group. The panels of volcanic rocks trend NE-SW. A series of interpreted faults strike predominately ENE-WSW based on geophysical interpretation.

The Majorodam is an early-stage exploration project with minor regional geochemical sampling, airborne magnetics and radiometrics, but otherwise subject to no other modern exploration work. The region is characterized by an elevated NE-SW trending Majorodam ridge (350 m elev.) with stream systems feeding off. These streams are the focus of alluvial mining with a gold source inferred to have been derived from bedrock source upstream.

Tropical weather in the project area is intense and complicated (Butt and Zeegers, 1992). As is the case for much of the tropical rain forest covered areas of South America, deep and overprinting weathering is characteristic of the geology of the Majorodam Project. Saprolite may extend to a depth of greater than 100 m. Supergene enrichment of gold and other minerals is also a characteristic of this type of terrain including the formation of laterite, often expressed as iron rich duricrust or true laterite. In areas of topographic relief, a transported colluvium is overlying the saprolite. This material is variably consolidated and consists of unsorted clasts of iron oxide, duricrust, indurated saprolite and pisoliths floating in a beige clayey matrix. Alluvial material, the focus of artisanal miners, occupies the stream beds. This material is unconsolidated sands to gravel, typically clean and well-sorted.

Insitu bedrock mineralization has not been identified on the project, however the geology, consisting of mafic volcanic rocks and felsic intrusions with structural complexities is prospective for orogenic style gold deposits as seen elsewhere in the Guiana Shield. The widespread occurrence of alluvial gold in active drainages suggests the presence of a bedrock source upslope from the alluvial workings. Similarly, the presence of gold in colluvium suggests that these workings are proximal to bedrock gold source as this material has limited transport distance. The proposed exploration program proposed is designed to identify the bedrock rock source of mineralization that may support a mining operation. This focus will be directed to identifying the source of the gold mineralization which has and is being mined by artisanal, alluvial and colluvium mining operations. The property is prospective for orogenic gold deposits and will be explored as such. The Majorodam Project is located 19 km south of the Saramacca gold mine, in similar host rock, where gold is principally hosted within a series of north-northwest trending structures ranging between 2 and 40 metres in width and traced over 2.2 kilometres along strike. In addition to the shear/fault-hosted mineralization found at Saramacca, gold endowment in the western portion of the Marowijne greenstone belt is expressed in various styles of mineralization. All gold occurrences are structurally controlled and are interpreted to be variants on the orogenic gold class of deposits.

Deposit Types

All gold occurrences are structurally controlled and are interpreted to be variants on the orogenic gold class of deposits.

Exploration

Neither Reunion Gold, nor Spinco have conducted any exploration on the property, outside of geologic site visits in 2020 and 2024.

Data Verification

The author of the Majorodam Technical Report, Ross Sherlock, Ph.D., P.Geo., visited the property from May 6th through May 7th, 2024. Sites of alluvial mining were visited, and gold was observed in panned concentrates. Due to dense vegetation, extensive cover and weathering, no mineralized outcrops were recognized and sampled. As described above, previous exploration activities and results could not be verified, although the author believes, based on conversations with Stargold, that the data were collected using the best practice available at the time.

It is the author's opinion, that the recognition of the alluvial gold workings and unverified data in previous exploration efforts supports the interpretation that a bedrock source for the alluvial gold may exist on the project area.

Adjacent Properties

The mineral concessions adjoining Majorodam Project have been or are still actively being explored and exploited by local small scale mining operations. Most of these operations are mining alluvial material, and rarely, in-situ deeply weathered bedrock material.

The most significant properties proximal to the Majorodam Project are those of Zijin Rosebel Gold Mines N.V. which includes the Rosebel and Saramacca gold mines. The mineral concessions associated with the gold mines are approximately 6 km north of Majorodam, covering an area of approximately 101,000 hectares divided between two exploitation licences and nine exploration licences. Although not contiguous with Majorodam, Rosebel and Saramaca are underlain by the same geological units and the style of mineralization are good analogies for what may be encountered at Majorodam. The most proximal of these deposits, Saramacca, is characterized by crack-seal veins in sub-parallel brittle-ductile fault zones, with the best mineralization associated with dolomite breccias and pyrite.

In 2018, IAMGOLD reported the Saramacca deposit as containing 1.76 Moz Au at a grade of 2.0 g/t Au in Indicated Resources including Proven and Probable Reserves of 1.54 Moz Au at a grade of 1.8 g/t Au. The author has been unable to verify the information on the adjacent properties and the information provided herein is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization on the Majorodam Project.

Drilling

There has been no drilling on the property.

Mineral Processing and Metallurgical Testing

No metallurgical testing has been completed, nor is it warranted at this early exploration stage.

Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimates

There is no mineral resource or reserve estimates for the Majorodam Project.

Mining Operations

The proposed exploration program proposed is designed to identify the bedrock rock source of mineralization that may support a mining operation. This focus will be directed to identifying the source of the gold mineralization which has and is being mined by artisanal, alluvial mining operations.

Infrastructure, Permitting and Compliance Activities

The Majorodam Project has no infrastructure outside of a rudimentary road network and artisanal miner's camp. The region's infrastructure is well developed with paved roads, communications and general services in various small towns. The capital city of Suriname, Paramaribo with a population of 240,000 people, can provide services, supplies, equipment and personnel to meet most if not all of the demands of an exploration program.

Capital and Operating Costs

Based on the Majorodam Technical Report and discussed with the Reunion Gold exploration group, the author made the following recommendations for the first year of exploration on the Majorodam Project:

Recommended Majorodam exploration program
Phase 1 Cost (CADS)
Topographic mapping, project support including camp construction and
access
s 150.000
Geochemical sampling s 350.000
Geological mapping, geology support & supervision S 150,000
Property Payments S 200.000
Phase 2
Ground magnetics, geophysical surveys S 50.000
Contingency (10%) s 90.000
Total ς 990,000

Interpretation and Conclusions

The Majorodam Project is underlain by mafic volcanic rocks and felsic intrusions, typical of greenstone belts in Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana, where substantial gold deposits have been found and developed, At the Majorodam Project artisanal gold miners are recovering alluvial gold and past exploration has identified anomalous gold in bedrock upslope of the alluvial gold suggesting the possibility of discovering a bedrock source for the alluvial gold. The long history of artisanal mining combined with the limited work by several companies indicates that this area has exploration potential and deserves to be the subject of a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary, exploration program.

The Majorodam Project is an immature greenfields exploration project, as such is inherently high risk. It is possible that the recommended exploration project will yield weak, or no, indications of mineralization and the project will not warrant any follow up exploration.

Recommendations

A two-phase exploration program is recommended. Phase 1 is focused on bedrock and regolith mapping, combined with an extensive geochemical survey. The decision point to advance to phase 2 is the definition of a coherent geochemical anomaly which may represent a bedrock source, Phase 2 is a ground based geophysical survey to provide improved target definition for subsequent drilling if warranted. Estimated cost for both phase 1 and 2 is about C\$1,000,000.

Other Mineral Properties

In February and March 2024, Reunion Gold through its 100% held subsidiary, Abuya Resources Inc., entered into binding letter agreements with arm's length local mineral rights holders for the acquisition of mineral rights located in the Mazaruni Mining District. These transactions are subject to completion of due diligence and execution of definitive agreements by September 30, 2024. It is expected that additional mineral rights will be acquired in 2024.

The purchase price (the "Purchase Price") of the Spinco Assets shall be equal to the aggregate fair market value of the Spinco Assets as of the effective time of the transactions described in Section 2.03(c) of the Plan of Arrangement (the "Contribution Effective Time"), the value of which Reunion Gold and Spinco have mutually determined is approximately \$15,793,000.

Spinco shall satisfy the payment of the Purchase Price at the Contribution Effective Time by issuing to Reunion Gold such number of fully paid and non-assessable Spinco Shares that will result in Reunion Gold holding, after completion of the Arrangement, 19.9% of the outstanding Spinco Shares.

Summary of the Investor Rights Agreement

In connection with the Arrangement, Spinco will enter into an investor rights agreement with Reunion Gold (the "Spinco IRA") at the Effective Date, and will grant Reunion Gold, which will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of New GMIN upon completion of the Arrangement, certain rights and restrictions as summarized below. The information contained below is of a summary nature and therefore is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Spinco IRA, a copy of which will be available under GMIN's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca following closing of the Arrangement.

Board Nomination Right

Reunion Gold shall have the right (but not the obligation) to designate one nominee (such nominee, an "Investor Nominee") to serve as a director on the board of directors of Spinco (the "Spinco Board"), provided that such Investor Nominee must: (i) consent in writing to serve as a director; (ii) meet the qualification requirements to serve as a director under the CBCA, the applicable rules of the TSX-V and all other regulatory requirements; (iii) be independent within the meaning of NI 52- 110; and (iv) be approved by the Spinco Board, acting reasonably.

Subject to the preceding paragraph, upon 10 business days' written notice by Reunion Gold to Spinco, Spinco covenants and agrees, to take all steps in its control necessary or desirable, including increasing the size of the Spinco Board, to cause the Investor Nominee to serve on the Spinco Board until the next annual meeting of the Spinco Shareholders, and in the event that it is necessary to seek shareholder approval for the election of the Investor Nominee to the Spinco Board, Spinco shall put forth the Investor Nominee for election as a director at the next meeting of the Spinco Shareholders at which directors are elected to the Spinco Board (the "Director Election Meeting"), subject to the timeframes set out below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the TSX-V objects to an Investor Nominee, such Investor Nominee will either not be appointed or elected to the Spinco Board or will resign as a director. Spinco shall advise Reunion Gold of the date on which proxy solicitation materials are to be mailed for the purpose of any Director Election Meeting at least 25 business days prior to such mailing date and Reunion Gold shall advise Spinco of the identity of the Investor Nominee, and provide any required information for inclusion in its management information circular relating to the election of the Investor Nominee, at least 20 business days prior to the mailing date. If Reunion Gold does not advise Spinco of the identity of the Investor Nominee prior to any such deadline, then Reunion Gold will be deemed to have nominated its incumbent Investor Nominee, if any.

Upon the Investor Nominee being elected or appointed to the Spinco Board, Reunion Gold shall have the right to designate the Investor Nominee for appointment to the audit committee of the Spinco Board, provided that the Investor Nominee meets the independence and competency requirements under securities laws and the rules of any applicable stock exchange.

If the Investor Nominee resigns, is removed, or is unable to serve for any reason prior to the expiration of his or her term as a director, then Reunion Gold shall be entitled to designate a replacement to be appointed by the Spinco Board as a director, except if Reunion Gold would have otherwise ceased to be entitled to designate such Investor Nominee pursuant to the terms of the Spinco IRA, and Spinco agrees to appoint, subject to the CBCA, applicable Securities Laws and the rules of the TSX-V, within 10 business days of receiving written notice from Reunion Gold of its new Investor Nominee, such individual to the Spinco Board to serve as the Investor Nominee until the next Director Election Meeting.

Participation Rights for Additional Securities

Issuance of Additional Securities

At any time and from time to time after the date of the Spinco IRA, if Spinco issues any securities (the "New Spinco Securities") to a third party, then Spinco shall offer to Reunion Gold the opportunity to subscribe, and Spinco grants Reunion Gold the right to subscribe (the "Anti-Dilution Right"), for such number of securities (the "Offered Spinco Securities") of the same class as (or otherwise having attributes identical to) the securities comprising the new issue such that the ratio that the Offered Spinco Securities bears to the sum of the New Spinco Securities and the Offered Spinco Securities is the same as the ratio that (i) the aggregate of the Spinco Shares then owned by or over which control or direction is exercised by Reunion Gold or its affiliates (calculated on a non-diluted basis), bears to (ii) all Spinco Shares then outstanding (calculated on a non-diluted basis).

Such Offered Spinco Securities shall be offered and, if applicable, issued to Reunion Gold on the same terms and conditions (including price) as the terms and conditions on which the New Spinco Securities are to be or were issued to the third party; provided that, if the structure of the offering of the New Spinco Securities does not permit (or does not practically permit, including with respect to the time periods contemplated or otherwise) Reunion Gold to participate directly, then such Offered Spinco Securities shall be offered by way of a separate concurrent private placement to Reunion Gold or by way of a separate private placement to Reunion Gold completed as soon as practicable thereafter, but in accordance with the time periods set out in the Spinco IRA.

Subscription Rights Exclusions

Spinco shall not be obligated to make an offer under or to otherwise comply with the Anti-Dilution Right, if the New Spinco Securities were issued pursuant to:

  • a) a rights offering that is offered to all shareholders holding Spinco Shares;
  • b) a share split, share dividend or any similar recapitalization of Spinco; provided that the beneficial Spinco Shareholders and the percentage ownership interest of each beneficial Spinco Shareholders do not change as a result thereof;
  • c) issuances for compensatory purposes to directors, officers, employees of or consultants to Spinco and its affiliates pursuant to equity incentive grants made after the date of the Spinco IRA pursuant to a security-based compensation plan of Spinco that complies with the requirements of the TSX-V and has been approved by the Spinco Shareholders, if required by applicable laws;
  • d) any direct or indirect acquisition, plan of arrangement, merger, business combination, take-over bid (including a shareholder rights plan) or other acquisition transactions of a third party or assets of a third party to the former shareholders or sellers of the acquired business or assets or to the management of the acquired business as a form of non-cash consideration (any such issuance pursuant to (c) or this section (d), a "Dilutive Event"); or
  • e) an offering of New Spinco Securities made only to Reunion Gold or any of its affiliates.

Make Whole Event

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in the Spinco IRA, for the purposes of calculating the Reunion Gold Ownership Percentage (as defined below) for the exercise of the Anti-Dilution Right, and for the purposes of calculating the Reunion Gold Ownership Percentage immediately prior to completion of the issuance of the New Spinco Securities, if required under the Spinco IRA, any decrease in the Reunion Gold Ownership Percentage that occurs as a result of a Dilutive Event shall not be taken into account unless and until Spinco completes an issuance of New Spinco Securities following such Dilutive Event whereby Reunion Gold is entitled to exercise its Anti-Dilution Right to acquire that number of Offered Spinco Securities as would result in Reunion Gold maintaining the Reunion Gold Ownership Percentage following the issuance of the New Spinco Securities that is equal to the Reunion Gold Ownership Percentage it had immediately prior to the completion of the issuance of the New Spinco Securities without taking into account any Dilutive Events unless a Make Whole Event has occurred since such Dilutive Event (a "Make Whole Event").

For the purpose of the above, "Reunion Gold Ownership Percentage" means, at any time, Reunion Gold's percentage ownership interest in the equity capital of Spinco, which shall be calculated by dividing (a) the number of Spinco Shares beneficially owned and controlled, directly or indirectly, by Reunion Gold and its subsidiaries, by (b) the total number of Spinco Shares issued and outstanding at such time; provided that in the case of both (a) and (b), the number of Spinco Shares used in the calculation shall not assume the exercise and/or conversion of any convertible securities (regardless of the exercise or conversion price).

Transfer Restrictions

Restrictions on Transfer

For a period of 24 months following the date of the Spinco IRA, subject to "Resale Restrictions" described below, Reunion Gold shall not, and shall cause each of its affiliates not to, without the prior written consent of Spinco, transfer any Spinco Shares, except in the following circumstances:

  • a) in a private sale transaction with the prior written consent of Spinco;
  • b) to an affiliate of Reunion Gold, provided that prior to any such transfer, the affiliate agrees in writing to be bound by Reunion Gold's obligations under the Spinco IRA and provided that Reunion Gold shall cause any such affiliates to comply with the Spinco IRA on the same basis as Reunion Gold and shall be liable for any breach thereof by any such affiliate;
  • c) transferring, selling or tendering any or all of its Spinco Shares to Spinco for purchase and cancellation under any normal course issuer bid or substantial issuer bid of Spinco in place from time to time and in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations pertaining thereto;
  • d) transferring any or all of its Spinco Shares to any nominee or custodian where there is no change in beneficial ownership;
  • e) granting a security interest, including a pledge, hypothec or lien over its Spinco Shares in favour of (i) a bank or other financial institution that provides financing to Reunion Gold or an affiliate thereof, or (ii) a security trustee, facility agent or security agent on behalf of a bank or other financial institution that provides financing to the Reunion Gold or an affiliate thereof, in each case as security for the indebtedness of Reunion Gold or any of its affiliates, pursuant to which actions to enforce any such security interest granted in connection with any such indebtedness may be taken by any secured parties following a default by Reunion Gold (or any of its affiliates, as applicable) or any event triggering enforcement under such indebtedness in accordance with its terms; or
  • f) pursuant to a bona fide take-over bid by any third party, or in connection with a merger, business combination, amalgamation, arrangement or similar transaction involving Spinco.

Resale Restrictions

If Reunion Gold wishes to sell, or cause its affiliates to sell, a number of its Spinco Shares which represents more than 5% of the then outstanding Spinco Shares on a non-diluted basis, whether in a single transaction or through a series of transactions to occur within a period of 30 consecutive days (the "Sale Shares"), then, subject to compliance with all applicable securities laws:

a) Reunion Gold shall first give written notice to Spinco (the "Sale Notice"), specifying the number of Sale Shares Reunion Gold intends to sell and the minimum cash price which Reunion Gold is prepared to accept (the "Minimum Price");

  • b) for a period of fifteen (15) business days after receipt of the Sale Notice (the "Corporation Placement Period"), Spinco shall have the right to seek and arrange for purchasers of the Sale Shares ("Corporation Arranged Purchasers");
  • c) if, prior to the expiry of the Corporation Placement Period, the Corporation Arranged Purchasers have committed to purchase no less than all of the proposed Sale Shares in aggregate at a price per Spinco Share that is not less than the Minimum Price (and otherwise on customary terms and conditions), then Reunion Gold shall be required to sell all of the Sale Shares to such Corporation Arranged Purchasers;
  • d) if, prior to the expiry of the Corporation Placement Period, the Corporation Arranged Purchasers have committed to purchase a portion of the Sale Shares at a price per Spinco Share that is not less than the Minimum Price (and otherwise on customary terms and conditions), then Reunion Gold shall be required to sell that portion of the Sale Shares to such Corporation Arranged Purchasers; and
  • e) if Corporation Arranged Purchasers cannot be found to purchase all of the Sale Shares prior to the expiry of the Corporation Placement Period at a price per Spinco Share that is not less than the Minimum Price (and otherwise on customary terms and conditions), then Reunion Gold shall be free to sell any or all of the remaining Sale Shares not otherwise sold to Corporation Arranged Purchasers to another buyer at a price per Spinco Share that is not less than the Minimum Price (and otherwise on customary terms and conditions). If the Sale Shares have not all been sold within thirty (30) days of the expiry of the Corporation Placement Period, Reunion Gold shall not proceed to sell any Sale Shares not already sold at the expiry of such thirty (30) day period without providing Spinco with another opportunity to find a Corporation Arranged Purchaser pursuant to the resale restrictions terms of the IRA.

Standstill

For a period of 24 months following the date of the Spinco IRA, Reunion Gold shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Spinco:

  • a) acquire or agree to acquire or make any proposal to acquire, directly or indirectly, by means of purchase, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, take-over bid, business combination or in any other manner, any securities or assets of Spinco or its affiliates, other than as contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement or in connection with the exercise of Reunion Gold's rights pursuant to the Spinco IRA;

  • f) make any public announcement with respect to or advise, assist, or encourage any person to take any action inconsistent with the foregoing, except as may be required by applicable law, regulatory authorities or stock exchanges; or
  • g) otherwise act alone or jointly or in concert with others in connection with any of the foregoing,

The standstill restrictions listed above shall cease to be of any force or effect as and from the date of a public announcement or public disclosure of commencement of: (a) any merger, business combination, amalgamation, arrangement, direct or indirect sale of all or substantially all of its assets or other similar transaction which, if successfully completed, would result in (i) any class of outstanding voting securities being converted into cash or securities of another person resulting in Spinco Shareholders holding less than 50% of the equity securities of the resulting person (or its parent corporation or entity, if the resulting corporation or entity is to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of another corporation or entity after successful completion of the transaction), (ii) any person (whether alone or as part of a group acting in concert) acquiring voting securities or other securities carrying more than 50% of the votes attaching to voting securities of Spinco or (iii) all or substantially all Spinco's assets (on a consolidated basis) being acquired by any person (other than Reunion Gold or any of its affiliates); or (b) a bona fide take-over bid for the Spinco Shares by any person or group of persons (other than Reunion Gold and its affiliates).

The standstill restrictions shall not restrict or prohibit Reunion Gold from increasing its holdings of Spinco Shares if such increase does not result from the acquisition by Reunion Gold of additional Spinco Shares from a third party, but rather as a result of a reduction in the issued and outstanding Spinco Shares due to actions by Spinco or the holders of Spinco Shares.

Property Acquisitions and Dispositions

At any time and from time to time after the date of the Spinco IRA, Spinco shall not be entitled to acquire Mineral Rights within the Area of Interest.

Following the acquisition of Mineral Rights within the Excluded Zones, Spinco shall promptly notify Reunion Gold of such acquisition. Spinco shall provide Reunion Gold, within thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar quarter, reports on exploration activities conducted by Spinco during such calendar quarter in respect of Mineral Rights currently owned or hereafter acquired within the Excluded Zones, containing, at least, a summary showing in reasonable detail: the exploration and development work performed; management of Spinco's analysis of actual versus budgeted expenditures, with any variances explained, together with the budget for the immediately following quarter; comparisons between the objectives and actual results of the exploration and development program; geological, geochemical and geophysical review and analyses; review of historical drilling and resource estimates; metallurgical tests; assay results; drilling results for the previous quarter mining plans and development plans; engineering work and estimates; and the exploration and development work that Spinco reasonably anticipates performing in the following quarter. Upon the written request of Reunion Gold, Spinco shall cease to provide Reunion Gold with such quarterly reports and shall only resume delivering them following a written direction of Reunion Gold to do so.

Reunion Gold shall have a right of first refusal on the proposed disposition (whether by way of a sale, joint venture or other transaction with substantially similar effect) by Spinco to a third party of any Mineral Rights located within the Excluded Zones in accordance with the right of first refusal process provisions of the Spinco IRA described below (the "Disposition Right").

Non-Equity Financing Rights

At any time and from time to time after the date of the Spinco IRA, Reunion Gold shall have a right of first refusal on the following transactions involving Mineral Rights owned by Spinco within the Area of Interest in accordance with the right of refusal process provisions of the Spinco IRA described in the section below:

  • a) any grant to a third party of a 1% or greater net smelter return ("NSR") royalty whether or not owned by the Corporation as at the date of this Agreement, except if such NSR royalty is granted as part of the consideration for the acquisition of Mineral Rights; and
  • b) any stream financing with a third party in an aggregate principal amount greater than \$15 million.

Right of First Refusal Process

If, at any time and from time to time, Spinco or any of its subsidiaries receives an offer in writing from a bona fide third party acting at arm's length to enter into any transaction described as a Disposition Right under the "Property Acquisitions and Dispositions" section above and described in the "Non-Equity Financing Rights" section above (each, a "ROFR Transaction") that Spinco is prepared to accept, Spinco shall provide a written notice to Reunion Gold (a "ROFR Notice"), which shall include all material terms and conditions of such ROFR Transaction (including, as applicable, royalty rate, interest rate, principal amount and the consideration therefor), and shall be accompanied by a copy of any available agreements and other documentation governing the terms and conditions of the ROFR Transaction. Spinco shall provide Reunion Gold with all material information provided to the third party relating to the ROFR Transaction, including documentation relating to the Mineral Rights, royalty or stream financing, as applicable, and access to the Mineral Rights for due diligence purposes. If the consideration for the ROFR Transaction includes, in whole or in part, any non-monetary consideration, the ROFR Notice shall also describe such consideration and state the monetary equivalent (which shall be the fair market value thereof expressed in USD or CAD currency) of such non-monetary consideration as determined by the Spinco Board, acting reasonably (the "Cash Equivalent Consideration"). The ROFR Notice shall be deemed to constitute an irrevocable offer by Spinco to enter into the applicable ROFR Transaction with Reunion Gold at the same consideration (including the Cash Equivalent Consideration, if applicable) and on substantially the same terms and conditions as disclosed or referenced in the ROFR Notice and the documents delivered therewith. Reunion Gold shall have 20 days from the date it receives such ROFR Notice (the "ROFR Exercise Period") to provide a written notice to Spinco (the "ROFR Acceptance Notice") notifying Spinco that Reunion Gold irrevocably accepts the offer to enter into the applicable ROFR Transaction with Spinco at the same consideration (including the Cash Equivalent Consideration, if applicable) and on substantially the same terms and conditions as disclosed or referenced in the ROFR Notice and the documents delivered therewith.

If Reunion Gold delivers a ROFR Acceptance Notice within the applicable ROFR Exercise Period, Reunion Gold and Spinco shall complete the applicable ROFR Transaction within ninety (90) days from delivery of the ROFR Acceptance Notice or such other time as Reunion Gold and Spinco may mutually agree.

If Reunion Gold fails to deliver a ROFR Acceptance Notice to Spinco during the applicable ROFR Exercise Period, then any right of Reunion Gold to enter into the applicable ROFR Transaction is extinguished and Spinco shall be entitled, during the ninety (90) day period immediately following the expiration of the ROFR Exercise Period, to enter into such ROFR Transaction on terms and conditions no more favourable to the proposed counterparty than those set forth in the ROFR Notice. If Spinco fails to complete such ROFR Transaction within the applicable 120 day period, Spinco's right to complete such ROFR Transaction shall terminate forthwith, and any subsequent proposal to enter into any ROFR Transaction shall again be subject to Reunion Gold's right of first refusal pursuant thereto.

Corporate Cease Trade Orders, Bankruptcies, Penalties or Sanctions

As at the date of the Circular, no proposed director or executive officer of Spinco is, or within the 10 years prior to the date of the Circular has been, a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of any company (including Spinco), that:

(a) was subject to a cease trade or similar order or an order denying the relevant company access to any exemptions under securities legislation, that was in effect for a period of more than 30 consecutive days; or

(b) was subject to a cease trade or similar order or an order denying the relevant company access to any exemptions under securities legislation, that was in effect for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, that was issued after the director, chief executive officer or chief financial 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, chief executive officer or chief financial officer.

To the knowledge of Spinco, as at the date of the Circular, no proposed director, executive officer, or shareholder holding a sufficient number of securities of Spinco to affect materially the control of Spinco,

(a) is, at the date of the Circular, or has been within the 10 years before the date of the Circular, a director or executive officer of any company (including Spinco) that, while that person was acting in that capacity, or within a year of that person ceasing to act in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets; or

(b) has within the 10 years before the date of the Circular, become bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or become subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors, or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold the assets of the director, executive officer or shareholder.

To the knowledge of Spinco, as at the date of the Circular, no proposed director, executive officer, or shareholder holding a sufficient number of securities of Spinco to affect materially the control of Spinco has been subject to:

(a) any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority or has entered into a settlement agreement with a securities regulatory authority; or

(b) any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body that would likely be considered important to a reasonable investor in making an investment decision.

Conflicts of Interest

There are potential conflicts of interest to which the directors and officers of Spinco will be subject in connection with the business of Spinco. In particular, certain of the proposed directors and/or officers of Spinco serve as directors and/or officers of other companies that are similarly engaged in the business of acquiring, developing and exploiting natural resource properties and whose business may, from time to time, be in direct or indirect competition with Spinco. Such associations may give rise to conflicts of interest from time to time. The directors of Spinco are required by law to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of Spinco and to disclose any interest, which they may have in any project opportunity of Spinco. Conflicts, if any, will be subject to and governed by laws applicable to directors' and officers' conflicts of interest, including the procedures and remedies available under the CBCA. The CBCA provides that, in the event that a director has an interest in a contract or proposed contract or agreement, the director shall disclose his interest in such contract or agreement and shall refrain from voting on any matter in respect of such contract or agreement unless otherwise provided by the CBCA. As at the date of the Circular, Spinco is not aware of any existing or potential material conflicts of interest between Spinco and any current or proposed director or officer of Spinco, other than as disclosed in the Circular.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

For purposes of this section, the terms "Named Executive Officers" or "NEO" refer to each of the following individuals:

(a) a chief executive officer ("CEO") of the corporation;

(b) a chief financial officer ("CFO") of the corporation;

(c) each of the corporation's three most highly compensated executive officers, or the three most highly compensated individuals acting in a similar capacity, other than the CEO and CFO, at the end of the most recently completed financial year whose total compensation was, individually, more than \$150,000; and

(d) each individual who would be an NEO under paragraph (c) above but for the fact that the individual was neither an executive officer of the corporation, nor acting in a similar capacity, at the end of that financial year.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

It is expected that the Spinco Board will have a compensation and nomination committee (the "Spinco Compensation Committee") that will be responsible for ensuring that Spinco has in place an appropriate plan for executive compensation and for making recommendations to the Spinco Board with respect to the compensation of Spinco's executive officers. It is expected that the Spinco Compensation Committee will ensure that total compensation paid to all NEOs is fair and reasonable and is consistent with Spinco's compensation philosophy.

Compensation plays an important role in achieving short and long-term business objectives that ultimately drive business success. Spinco's compensation philosophy will be to foster entrepreneurship at all levels of the organization through, among other things, the granting of securities-based awards, which will be a significant component of executive compensation. This approach is based on the assumption that the performance of the Spinco Share price over the longterm is an important indicator of long-term performance.

It is expected that Spinco's compensation philosophy will be based on the following fundamental principles:

(a) Compensation programs align with shareholder interests – Spinco aligns the goals of executives with maximizing long term shareholder value;

(b) Performance sensitive – compensation for executive officers should be linked to operating and market performance of Spinco and fluctuate with the performance; and

(c) Offer market competitive compensation to attract and retain talent – the compensation program should provide market competitive pay in terms of value and structure in order to retain existing employees who are performing according to their objectives and to attract new individuals of the highest caliber.

The objectives of the compensation program in compensating all NEOs will be developed based on the above-mentioned compensation philosophy and will be as follows:

  • to attract and retain highly qualified executive officers;
  • to align the interests of executive officers with shareholders' interests and with the execution of Spinco's business strategy;

  • to evaluate executive performance on the basis of key measurements that correlate to long-term shareholder value; and

  • to tie compensation directly to those measurements and rewards based on achieving and exceeding predetermined objectives.

Aggregate compensation for each NEO will be designed to be competitive. The Spinco Compensation Committee will review from time to time the compensation practices of similarly situated companies when considering Spinco's executive compensation policy. Although the Spinco Compensation Committee will review each element of compensation for market competitiveness, and it may weigh a particular element more heavily based on the NEO's role within Spinco, it will be primarily focused on remaining competitive in the market with respect to total compensation.

From time to time, on an ad hoc basis, the Spinco Compensation Committee will review data related to compensation levels and programs of various companies that are similar in size to Spinco and operate within the mining exploration and development industry. The Spinco Compensation Committee will also rely on the experience of its members as officers and/or directors at other companies in similar lines of business as Spinco in assessing compensation levels.

Aligning the Interests of the NEOs with the Interests of the Spinco Shareholders

Spinco believes that transparent, objective and easily verified corporate goals, combined with individual performance goals, play an important role in creating and maintaining an effective compensation strategy for the NEOs. Spinco's objective will be to establish benchmarks and targets for its NEOs which, if achieved, will enhance shareholder value. A combination of fixed and variable compensation will be used to motivate executives to achieve overall corporate goals. The three basic components of Spinco's executive officer compensation program will be:

  • fixed salary;
  • annual incentives (cash bonus); and
  • security based compensation.

Fixed salary will comprise a portion of the total cash-based compensation; however, annual incentives and security-based compensation arrangements represent compensation that is "at risk" and thus may or may not be paid to the respective executive officer depending on: (i) whether the executive officer is able to meet or exceed his or her applicable performance targets; and (ii) market performance of the Spinco Shares. No specific formulae have been developed to assign a specific weighting to each of these components. Instead, the Spinco Board will consider each performance target and Spinco's performance and assigns compensation based on this assessment and the recommendations of the Spinco Compensation Committee.

Base Salary

The Spinco Compensation Committee and the Spinco Board will approve the salary ranges for the NEOs. The base salary review for each NEO will be based on assessment of factors such as current competitive market conditions, compensation levels within compensation practices of similarly situated companies and particular skills, such as leadership ability and management effectiveness, experience, responsibility and proven or expected performance of the particular individual. Spinco may consider comparative data for corporation's peer group which would be accumulated from a number of external sources, including independent consultants. Spinco's policy for determining salary for executive officers will be consistent with the administration of salaries for all other employees. As of the date of the Circular, Spinco has not paid any salaries.

Annual Incentives

To date, Spinco has not awarded any annual incentives by way of cash bonuses. However, Spinco, in its discretion, may award such incentives in order to motivate executives to achieve short-term corporate goals. The Spinco Compensation Committee and the Spinco Board will approve annual incentives.

The success of NEOs in achieving their individual objectives and their contribution to Spinco in reaching its overall goals are to be factors in the determination of their annual bonus. The Spinco Compensation Committee shall assess each NEO's performance on the basis of his or her respective contribution to the achievement of the predetermined corporate objectives, as well as to needs of Spinco that arise on a day-to-day basis. This assessment will be used by the Spinco Compensation Committee in developing its recommendations to the Spinco Board with respect to the determination of annual bonuses for the NEOs. Where the Spinco Compensation Committee cannot unanimously agree, the matter will be referred to the full Spinco Board for decision. The Spinco Board will rely heavily on the recommendations of the Spinco Compensation Committee in granting annual incentives.

Spinco Option Plan

At the Meeting, Reunion Gold Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to approve, with or without variation, the following ordinary resolution to approve the adoption by Spinco of the Spinco Option Plan.

''BE IT RESOLVED AS AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION OF THE REUNION GOLD SHAREHOLDERS THAT:

    1. The Spinco Option Plan, the full text of which is attached as Schedule A to this Appendix K-1, is hereby approved and adopted as the stock option plan of Spinco with such modifications, if any, as may be required by any stock exchange upon which the shares of Greenheart Gold Inc. may be listed or may trade from time to time.
    1. Any officer or director of Spinco is hereby authorized to do all such acts and execute and file all instruments and documents necessary or desirable to carry out this resolution, including making appropriate filings with regulatory authorities including any applicable stock exchange.''

In order for the foregoing resolution to be passed, it must be approved by a simple majority of the aggregate votes cast by Reunion Gold Shareholders who vote in person or by proxy at the Reunion Gold Meeting. The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy, if named as proxy, intend to vote in favour of the Spinco Option Plan. The Reunion Gold Board unanimously recommends that Reunion Gold Shareholders vote in favour of the approval of the Spinco Option Plan.

The adoption of the Spinco Option Plan following receipt of the Spinco Option Plan Resolution Shareholder Approval will permit the Spinco Board to issue stock options to directors, officers, employees and other eligible service providers (or corporations controlled by such persons) of Spinco, subject to the rules and regulations of applicable regulatory authorities and any stock exchange upon which the Spinco Shares may be listed or may trade from time to time. A copy of the Spinco Option Plan is set out in Schedule A to this Appendix K-1.

If approved, the Spinco Option Plan will be implemented if and when Spinco lists the Spinco Shares on the TSX-V. The Spinco Option Plan is a rolling stock option plan that sets the number of Spinco Shares issuable thereunder at a maximum of 10% of the Spinco Shares issued and outstanding at the time of any grant. As of the date of the Circular, no stock options have been granted nor have any other rights or securities to purchase Spinco Shares been issued. Approximately 56,916,667 Replacement Spinco Options will be issued at the Effective Time pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, in connection with the exchange of the then issued and outstanding Reunion Gold Options. Each Replacement Spinco Option will be issued pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement with such terms and conditions as set forth in the Plan of Arrangement but otherwise that will be the same as the Reunion Gold Option for which it is exchanged pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement. The Replacement Spinco Options are not intended to be governed by the terms of the Spinco Option Plan which, assuming conditional acceptance by the TSX-V of the listing of the Spinco Shares, will be adopted by Spinco, subject to receipt of the Spinco Option Plan Resolution Shareholder Approval. The number of Spinco Shares issuable upon the exercise of all of the Replacement Spinco Options would represent approximately 3.66% of the issued and outstanding Spinco Shares immediately following the Effective Date and assuming the Spinco Option Plan is approved at the Reunion Gold Meeting, there would remain an aggregate of 4,924,526 Spinco Shares reserved for issuance under the Spinco Option Plan, which would represent approximately 6.34% of the issued and outstanding Spinco Shares immediately following the Effective Date. The Spinco Board does not intend to grant any share options under the Spinco Option Plan until such time following the listing of the Spinco Shares on a stock exchange such that a fair market value exercise price for such options can be determined.

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Spinco Option Plan:

  • Options may be granted under the Spinco Option Plan to a person who is a bona fide director, officer, Employee (as defined in the Spinco Option Plan), an individual employed by a company providing management services to Spinco which services are required for the ongoing successful operation of the business enterprise of Spinco, Consultant or Consultant Company (each as defined in the Spinco Option Plan), including a company for which 100% of the share capital of which is beneficially owned by one or more of the aforementioned persons;
  • The maximum number of Spinco Shares issuable under the Spinco Option Plan is 10% of the total number of Spinco Shares issued and outstanding from time to time, less any Spinco Shares reserved for issuance under all other security-based compensation arrangements of Spinco. Persons who are directors, officers, employees of, or consultants to, Spinco are eligible to receive options under the Spinco Option Plan.
  • Options are not assignable or transferable and may be granted for a term of up to ten years from the date of grant.
  • Disinterested Shareholder Approval (as defined in the Spinco Option Plan) is required prior to the following actions becoming effective: (a) the Spinco Option Plan, together with all other security-based compensation arrangements of Spinco, could result in: (i) the aggregate number of Spinco Shares reserved for issuance under options granted to insiders exceeding 10% of the Spinco Shares at any point in time; (ii) the number of Spinco Shares issued to insiders (in aggregate) within any 12-month period exceeding 10% of the Spinco Shares at any point in time; or (iii) the issuance to any one optionee within any 12-month period, of a number of Spinco Shares exceeding 5% of the Spinco Shares, calculated at the date of such grant; or (b) any reduction in the exercise price or extension of the exercise period of an option if the optionee is an insider at the time of the amendment.
  • Without prior TSX-V consent, (a) options over no more than 2% of outstanding Spinco Shares in the aggregate can be granted to persons conducting Investor Relations Activities (as defined in the TSX-V policies) in any 12-month period, and (b) options over no more than 2% of outstanding Spinco Shares can be granted to any one consultant in any 12-month period.
  • Options granted to persons conducting investor relations activities must vest no less than quarterly over a 12-month period.
  • Options will expire 90 days after an optionee ceases to provide services to Spinco or an affiliate (or such other time, not to exceed one year). In the case of death, an optionee's vested options will remain exercisable by the optionee's estate until the earlier of one year after the optionee's death and the original expiry date of the option. Where an optionee is dismissed for cause, all options, vested and un-vested, will terminate immediately on the date of dismissal without any right of exercise.
  • If an option expires during a black-out period, then, notwithstanding any other provision, the option will expire 10 business days after the black-out is lifted, provided however that this will not automatically apply in the event Spinco or the optionee whose options are expiring are subject to a cease trade order.
  • Subject to any employment agreement with employees of Spinco, the Spinco Board has the authority in its discretion to set the terms of vesting (which may be time-based or performance-based) and the exercise price of each option, which must be no less than Market Price (as defined in the Spinco Option Plan) of the Spinco Shares.
  • Spinco may implement procedures and set conditions with respect to the withholding and remittance of taxes imposed under applicable law.
  • To the extent permitted by applicable law and Spinco's bylaws, the Spinco Board may, from time to time, delegate to a committee of the Spinco Board, all or any of the powers conferred on the Spinco Board under the Spinco Option Plan.
  • Subject to TSX-V policies and the rights of holders of existing options, the Spinco Board has the discretion to amend, suspend, terminate or discontinue the Spinco Option Plan. Subject to TSX-V policies and receipt of TSX-V approval and Spinco Shareholder approval, where applicable, the Spinco Board is entitled to make the following types of amendments or changes to the Spinco Option Plan or options granted under it: (a) amendments to the Spinco

Option Plan or an option to correct typographical, grammatical or clerical errors; (b) changes to the vesting provisions of an option granted under the Spinco Option Plan; (c) changes to the termination provision of an option that do not extend it beyond its original expiry date; (d) amendments to the new Spinco Option Plan to comply with changes to securities and other laws applicable to Spinco; (e) amendments required by the policies of a senior stock exchange or stock market on which Spinco becomes listed; and (f) amendments to the Spinco Option Plan that reduce the benefits that may be granted to participants.

• A "cashless exercise" feature whereby option holders are allowed, in addition to the traditional fashion, to exercise options through a broker assisted "cashless exercise" in which Spinco will provide a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker engaged for such purposes by Spinco to sell the common shares otherwise deliverable upon the exercise of the options and to deliver promptly to Spinco an amount equal to the exercise price of the options and all applicable required withholding obligations as determined by Spinco against delivery of the common Shares to settle the applicable trade.

Compensation of Executives

As at the date of the Circular, no remuneration or other compensation has been paid or provided by Spinco to its executive officers for their services.

The Spinco Board may approve targeted amounts of annual incentives for each NEO at the beginning of each financial year. The targeted amounts will be determined by the Spinco Compensation Committee based on a number of factors, including comparable compensation of similar companies.

Achieving predetermined individual and/or corporate targets and objectives, as well as general performance in day-to-day corporate activities, may trigger the award of a bonus payment to the NEOs. The NEOs may receive a partial or full incentive payment depending on the number of predetermined targets met and the Spinco Compensation Committee's and the Spinco Board's assessment of overall performance. The determination as to whether a target has been met will ultimately be made by the Spinco Board and the Spinco Board will reserve the right to make positive or negative adjustments to any bonus payment if they consider them to be appropriate.

At or prior to the date of the Circular, Spinco has not entered into employment contracts with any NEOs and compensation for certain NEOs will be determined prior to the completion of the Arrangement.

Compensation Risk Considerations

The Spinco Compensation Committee will be responsible for considering, establishing and reviewing executive compensation programs, and whether the programs encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking. Spinco anticipates the programs will be balanced and do not motivate unnecessary or excessive risk taking. Spinco does not currently have a policy that restricts its directors or NEOs from purchasing financial instruments, including, for greater certainty, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, or units of exchange funds that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity. However, to the knowledge of Spinco, as of the date of hereof, no director or NEO of Spinco has participated in the purchase of such financial instruments.

Base salaries will be fixed in amount and will not encourage risk taking. While annual incentive awards will focus on the achievement of short-term or annual goals and short-term goals may encourage the taking of short-term risks at the expense of long-term results, Spinco's annual incentive award program will represent a small percentage of employees' compensation opportunities. Annual incentive awards will be based on various personal and company-wide achievements. Such performance goals are subjective and include achieving individual and/or corporate targets and objectives, as well as general performance in day-to-day corporate activities which would trigger the award of a bonus payment to the NEO. The determination as to whether a target has been met will ultimately be made by the Spinco Board (after receiving recommendations of the Spinco Compensation Committee) and the Spinco Board will reserve the right to make positive or negative adjustments to any bonus payment if they consider them to be appropriate. Funding of the annual incentive awards will be capped at the company level and the distribution of funds to the executive officers will be at the discretion of the Spinco Compensation Committee.

Awards granted under the Spinco Option Plan are important to further align employees' interests with those of the Spinco Shareholders. The ultimate value of the awards is tied to the price of the Spinco Shares and since awards are expected to be staggered and subject to long-term vesting schedules, they will help ensure that NEOs have significant value tied in long-term stock price performance.

Compensation of Directors

No remuneration has been paid to the two directors for their services as a director to the date hereof.

As of the date of the Circular, Spinco has not established an annual retainer fee, attendance fees or other fees for directors. Spinco expects to establish directors' fees in the future and will reimburse directors for all reasonable expenses incurred in order to attend meetings and in connection with their service as directors. It is anticipated that the Spinco directors' fees and reimbursements will be comparable to those currently paid by Reunion Gold or as the Spinco Board otherwise determines to be appropriate, from time to time. In addition, each of the directors will be entitled to participate in the Spinco Option Plan. For the full text of the Spinco Option Plan Resolution, see in this Appendix K-1, "Executive Compensation – Spinco Option Plan".

OPTIONS AND OTHER RIGHTS TO PURCHASE SECURITIES OF SPINCO

Spinco Option Plan

Spinco will adopt the Spinco Option Plan, subject to its ratification and confirmation by Reunion Gold Shareholders at the Meeting. If the Spinco Option Plan is not approved at the Meeting, or if the Arrangement is not completed, the Spinco Option Plan will not be implemented. For the full text of the Spinco Option Plan resolution, see in this Appendix K-1, "Executive Compensation – Spinco Option Plan".

If approved, the Spinco Option Plan will be implemented if and when the Spinco Shares are listed on the TSX-V or another stock exchange. The Spinco Board does not intend to grant any options prior to the listing of the Spinco Shares on the TSX-V or other stock exchange.

Replacement Spinco Options

Pursuant to the Arrangement, Spinco will issue Replacement Spinco Options to former holders of Reunion Gold Options. Each holder of any Reunion Gold Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be granted by Spinco, an option to purchase 0.05 of a Spinco Share in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement.

The following table sets out the anticipated number of Replacement Spinco Options to be issued (subject to rounding) and their respective exercise price and expiry dates:

Number of Replacement Spinco

None of the current or proposed directors or officers of Spinco, nor any affiliate or associate of the current or proposed directors or officers of Spinco, is or was indebted to Spinco or to another entity which is the subject of a guarantee support agreement, letter of credit, or other similar arrangement or undertaking provided by Spinco entered into in connection with a purchase of securities or otherwise at any time since its incorporation.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

The audit committee of Spinco (the "Spinco Audit Committee") will be responsible for monitoring Spinco's accounting and financial reporting practices and procedures, the adequacy of internal accounting controls and procedures, the quality and integrity of financial statements and for directing the auditors' examination of specific areas.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Spinco Audit Committee shall pre-approve all audit and non-audit services not prohibited by law to be provided by the independent auditors of Spinco.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Policy Statement 58-201 to Corporate Governance Guidelines sets out a series of guidelines for effective corporate governance (the "Guidelines"). The Guidelines address matters such as the constitution and independence of corporate boards, the functions to be performed by boards and their committees and the effectiveness and education of board members. NI 58-101 requires the disclosure by each listed corporation of its approach to corporate governance with reference to the Guidelines as it is recognized that the unique characteristics of individual corporations will result in varying degrees of compliance.

Set out below is a description of Spinco's intended approach to corporate governance in relation to the Guidelines.

The Board of Directors

NI 58-101 defines an "independent director" as a director who has no direct or indirect material relationship with the corporation. A "material relationship" is in turn defined as a relationship which could, in the view of the Spinco Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with such member's independent judgment. At the Effective Time, the Spinco Board is expected to be comprised of six members, four of whom will be considered "independent directors" within the meaning of NI 58-101 since they are each independent of management and free from any material relationship with Spinco. The basis for this determination is that, since the date of incorporation of Spinco, none of the independent directors have worked for Spinco, received remuneration from Spinco or had material contracts with or material interests in Spinco which could interfere with their ability to act with a view to the best interests of Spinco. Richard Howes and Alain Krushnisky, the current directors of Spinco, are not independent directors since they will be officers of Spinco.

The Spinco Board believes that it will function independently of management. To enhance its ability to act independent of management, the Spinco Board may in the future meet in the absence of members of management or may excuse such persons from all or a portion of any meeting where an actual or potential conflict of interest arises or where the Spinco Board otherwise determines is appropriate.

Directorships

Certain of the proposed directors of Spinco are also current directors of other reporting issuers (or equivalent) in a jurisdiction or a foreign jurisdiction as follows:

Director Other Issuers
David A. Fennell GMIN
Adrian Fleming Precipitate Gold Corp. and Strike Point Gold Inc.

Orientation and Continuing Education

While Spinco currently has no formal orientation and education program for new Spinco Board members, it is expected that sufficient information (such as recent financial statements, technical reports and various other operating, property and budget reports) will be provided to all new members of the Spinco Board to ensure that new directors are familiarized with Spinco's business and the procedures of the Spinco Board. In addition, new directors will be encouraged to visit and meet with management on a regular basis. Spinco will also encourage continuing education of its directors and officers where appropriate in order to ensure that they have the necessary skills and knowledge to meet their respective obligations to Spinco. The Spinco Board's continuing education will also consist of correspondence with Spinco's legal counsel to remain up to date with developments in relevant corporate and securities law matters.

Ethical Business Conduct

A director, in the exercise of his or her functions and responsibilities, must act with complete honesty and good faith in the best interest of Spinco. He or she must also act in accordance with the applicable laws, regulations and policies.

In the event of a conflict of interest, a director is required to declare the nature and extent of any material interest he or she has in any important contract or proposed contract of Spinco, as soon as he or she has knowledge of the agreement or of Spinco's intention to consider or enter into the proposed contract and in such a case, the director shall abstain from voting on the subject.

Spinco will adopt a code of ethics and business conduct for directors, officers and employees of Spinco (the "Code of Ethics"). Consultants and suppliers of goods and services will also be required to comply with the provisions of the Code of Ethics.

Board Committees

The Spinco Board will have two standing committees: the Spinco Audit Committee and the Spinco Compensation Committee. The proposed members of these committees are under the heading "Audit Committee" above, and under the heading "Compensation Committee" below. The Spinco Board intends to adopt a charter for the Spinco Audit Committee and for the Spinco Compensation Committee prior to the Effective Time.

Nomination of Directors

The responsibility for identifying new candidates to join the Spinco Board will belong to the Spinco Board as a whole. The Spinco Board will encourage all directors to participate in the process of identifying and recruiting new candidates. The Spinco Compensation Committee will have the responsibility of making recommendations to the Spinco Board with respect to the new nominees and for assessing directors on an on-going basis. While there are no specific criteria for Spinco Board membership, Spinco will seek to attract and retain directors with business knowledge and a particular expertise in mineral exploration and development or other areas of specialized knowledge (such as finance) which will assist in guiding the officers of Spinco. The initial members of the Spinco Compensation Committee will be determined prior to the Effective Date. See in this Appendix K-1, "Executive Compensation".

Compensation Committee

The Spinco Compensation Committee will be responsible for assisting Spinco in determining compensation of senior management as well as reviewing the adequacy and form of the directors' compensation and will ensure that the levels of compensation of the Spinco Board reflect the responsibilities, time commitment and risks involved in being an effective director. The Spinco Compensation Committee is expected to annually review the annual goals and objectives of Spinco's senior executives and to perform an appraisal of their performance for the previous financial year. The Spinco Compensation Committee will also administer and make recommendations regarding the operation of Spinco's incentive plans. See in this Appendix K-1, "Executive Compensation".

Other Board Committees

Other than the committees described above, it is not anticipated that Spinco will have any additional committees immediately following the Effective Time. The Spinco Board may, however, establish additional committees after the Effective Time, depending on the needs of Spinco.

Primary Role and Objectives

The mandate of the Spinco Board will be to supervise the management of the business and affairs of Spinco. The Spinco Board will monitor the manner in which Spinco will conduct its business as well as the senior management responsible for the day-to-day operations of Spinco. The Spinco Board will set Spinco's policies, assesses their implementation by management and review the results.

The Spinco Board's fundamental objectives will be to enhance and preserve long-term shareholder value and to ensure that Spinco will conduct business in an ethical and safe manner, having regard for the legitimate interests of its stakeholders.

The Spinco Board, either directly or through one of its committees, will assume specific responsibility for the following five matters: (i) the adoption of a strategic planning process; (ii) the identification of the principal risks of Spinco's business and the implementation of appropriate systems to effectively manage these risks; (iii) the appointing, training, evaluation and monitoring of senior management as well as planning for their succession; (iv) communications with shareholders and the public at large; and (v) the integrity of Spinco's internal control and management information systems. At the end of each fiscal year, the Spinco Board will receive, analyse and, where appropriate, approve a yearly plan of action and budget submitted by the president and chief executive officer of Spinco for the following fiscal year. Throughout the fiscal year, the Spinco Board will receive periodic reports from the president and chief executive officer and other senior executives to monitor Spinco's performance with reference to the adopted budget. Spinco periodically will review its strategic plan in light of developments in the mining industry and Spinco's development. In addition to decisions requiring formal approval by the Spinco Board pursuant to the law or Spinco's articles and by-laws, the Spinco Board will make all important decisions concerning, among other things, major investments and significant divestitures.

Assessments

Given its early stage of development, the Spinco Board will not initially take any formal steps to assess the performance of the Spinco Board or its committees. The Spinco Board will consider Spinco Board and committee performance, from time to time, as required.

RISK FACTORS

There are a number of risks that may have a material and adverse impact on the future operating and financial performance of Spinco and could cause Spinco's operating and financial performance to differ materially from the estimates described in forward-looking statements related to Spinco. These include widespread risks associated with any form of business and specific risks associated with Spinco's business following closing of the Arrangement Agreement and its involvement in the mineral exploration and development industry. An investment in the Spinco Shares, as well as Spinco's prospects, are highly speculative due to the high-risk nature of its business and the present stage of its operations. Shareholders of Spinco may lose their entire investment. The risks described below are not the only ones facing Spinco. Additional risks not currently known to Spinco, or that Spinco currently deems immaterial, may also impair Spinco's business or operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, Spinco's business, financial condition, operating results and prospects could be adversely affected.

Reunion Gold Shareholders should consult with their professional advisors to assess the Arrangement and their resulting investment in Spinco. In evaluating Spinco and its business and whether to vote in favour of the Arrangement, Reunion Gold Shareholders should carefully consider, in addition to the other information contained in the Circular and this Appendix K-1, the risk factors which follow, as well as the risks associated with the Arrangement (see "Risk Factors" in the Circular). These risk factors may not be a definitive list of all risk factors associated with the Arrangement, an investment in Spinco or in connection with Spinco's business or operations.

Exploration Activities

Exploration for, and development of, mineral properties is speculative and involves significant financial risks, which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. While the discovery of an ore body may result in substantial rewards, few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Major expenditures may be required to establish reserves by drilling, to complete a feasibility study and to construct mining and processing facilities at a site for extracting gold or other metals from ore. Spinco cannot ensure that its future exploration programs will result in profitable commercial mining operations.

Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Unusual or unexpected formations, formation pressures, fires, power outages, labour disruptions, flooding, explosions, cave-ins, landslides and the inability to obtain adequate machinery, equipment and/or labour are some of the risks involved in mineral exploration activities. Spinco intends to rely on consultants and others for mineral exploration expertise.

Spinco plans to implement safety and environmental measures designed to comply with or exceed government regulations and ensure safe, reliable and efficient operations in all phases of its operations. Spinco plans to maintain liability and property insurance, where reasonably available, in such amounts as it considers prudent. Spinco may become subject to liability for hazards against which it cannot insure or which it may elect not to insure against because of high premium costs or other reasons.

Also, substantial expenses may be incurred on exploration projects that are subsequently abandoned due to poor exploration results or the inability to define reserves that can be mined economically. Development projects have no operating history upon which to base estimates of future cash flow. Estimates of proven and probable mineral reserves and cash operating costs are, to a large extent, based upon detailed geological and engineering analysis. There have been no feasibility studies conducted in order to derive estimates of capital and operating costs including, among others, anticipated tonnage and grades of ore to be mined and processed, the configuration of the ore body, ground and mining conditions, expected recovery rates of the gold or copper from the ore, and anticipated environmental and regulatory compliance costs.

Substantial expenditures are required to establish mineral resources and mineral reserves through drilling and development and for mining and processing facilities and infrastructure. No assurances can be given that mineral will be discovered in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations or that funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis. There is also no assurance that even if commercial quantities of ore are discovered that the properties will be brought into commercial production or that the funds required to exploit any mineral reserves and resources discovered by Spinco will be obtained on a timely basis or at all. The economic feasibility of a project is based on several other factors, including anticipated metallurgical recoveries, environmental considerations and permitting, future metal prices and timely completion of any development plan. Most of the above factors are beyond the control of Spinco. There can be no assurance that Spinco's mineral exploration activities will be successful. In the event that such commercial viability is never attained, Spinco may seek to sell its property interests or otherwise realize value, if any or may even be required to abandon its business and fail as a "going concern".

Moreover, advancing any of Spinco's exploration properties into a revenue generating property will require the construction and operation of mines, processing plants and related infrastructure, the development of which includes various risks associated with establishing new mining operations, including:

  • the timing and costs, which can be considerable, of the construction of mining and processing facilities;
  • the availability and cost of skilled labour, mining equipment and principal supplies needed for operations;
  • the availability and cost of appropriate refining arrangements;
  • the need to maintain necessary environmental and other governmental approvals and permits;
  • the availability of funds to finance construction and development activities;
  • potential opposition from non-governmental organizations, environmental groups, local groups or other stakeholders which may delay or prevent development activities; and
  • potential increases in construction and operating costs due to changes in the cost of labour, fuel, power, materials and supplies.

It is possible that actual costs and economic returns of future mining operations may differ materially from Spinco's best estimates. It is not unusual for new mining operations to experience unexpected problems during the start-up phase and to require more capital than anticipated. These additional costs could have an adverse impact on Spinco's future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition.

Commodity Price Fluctuations and Cycles

The price of Spinco's securities, its financial results, and its access to the capital required to finance its exploration activities may in the future be adversely affected by declines in the price of precious and base metals and, in particular, the price of gold.

Resource exploration is significantly linked to the outlook for commodities. When the price of commodities being explored for declines, investor interest subsides, and capital markets become more difficult. The price of commodities varies on a daily basis and there is no reliable way to predict future prices.

Gold prices specifically are historically subject to wide fluctuation and are influenced by a number of factors, including not only supply and demand for industrial uses, but for speculation purposes, all of which factors are beyond the control or influence of Spinco. Some factors that affect the price of gold include industrial and jewelry demand; central bank lending or purchase or sales of gold bullion; forward or short sales of gold by producers and speculators; future level of gold productions; and rapid short-term changes in supply and demand due to speculative or hedging activities by producers, individuals or funds.

Gold prices are also affected by macroeconomic factors including: confidence in the global monetary system; expectations of the future rate of inflation; the availability and attractiveness of alternative investment vehicles; the general level of interest rates; the strength of, and confidence in the U.S. dollar, the currency in which the price of gold is generally quoted, and other major currencies; global and regional political or economic events; and costs of production of other gold producing companies.

Inflation

Consumer price inflation has risen significantly in 2022 and 2023, and if inflation continues to rise it will mean much higher costs for Spinco. If this occurs, Spinco will need to either raise additional funds causing equity dilution or reduce its expenditures and reducing progress. Increases in inflation usually result in central bank interest rate hikes which can trigger negative capital market conditions making financing difficult. While inflation increases have often led to higher precious metals prices, there can be no assurance of that and Spinco's operations and its share price could well be adversely affected by increased inflation.

Property Commitments

Spinco's mineral properties and/or interests may be subject to various land payments, royalties and/or work commitments. Failure by Spinco to meet its payment obligations or otherwise fulfill its commitments under these agreements could result in the loss of related property interests.

Relationships with Local Communities

Negative relationships with local communities could result in opposition to Spinco's projects. Such opposition could result in material delays in attaining key operating permits or make certain projects inaccessible to Spinco's personnel. Spinco will be committed to working constructively with local communities, government agencies and Indigenous groups to ensure that exploration work is conducted in a culturally and environmentally sensitive manner.

Spinco believes its operations can provide valuable benefits to surrounding communities, in terms of direct employment, training and skills development and other benefits associated with ongoing community support.

Environmental Protection

All phases of Spinco's operations will be subject to treaty provision and federal, provincial and local environmental laws and regulations. These provisions, laws and regulations address, among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards, land reclamation, the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste, and the protection of natural resources and endangered species. Spinco expects to expend significant financial and managerial resources to comply with environmental protection laws, regulations and permitting requirements in each jurisdiction where it operates. Spinco's exploration and drilling projects will operate under various operating and environmental permits, licenses and approvals that contain conditions that must be met. Failure to obtain such permits, licenses and approvals and/or meet any conditions set forth therein could have a material adverse effect on Spinco's financial conditions or results of operations. Environmental hazards may exist on Spinco's properties which are unknown to Spinco at present and were caused by previous or existing owners or operators of the properties, for which Spinco could be held liable.

Although Spinco believes its operations will be in compliance, in all material respects, with all relevant permits, licenses and regulations involving worker health and safety as well as the environment, there can be no assurance regarding continued compliance or ability of Spinco to meet potentially stricter environmental regulation, which may also require the expenditure of significant additional financial and managerial resources.

Spinco cannot be certain that all environmental permits, licenses and approvals which it may require for its future operations will be obtainable on reasonable terms or that such laws and regulations would not have an adverse effect on any mining project that it might undertake. To the extent such permits, licenses and approvals are required and are not obtained, Reunion Gold may be delayed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of its projects, which would adversely affect Reunion Gold's business, prospects and operations.

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions, including orders issued by governmental, regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions. Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed upon them for violation of applicable laws or regulations. Amendments to current provisions, laws and regulations and permits governing operations and activities of mining companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on Spinco and cause increases in capital expenditures or exploration costs, reduction in levels of exploration or abandonment or delays in the development of mining properties.

Moreover, mining companies are often targets of actions by non-governmental organizations and environmental groups in the jurisdictions in which they operate. Such organizations and groups may take actions in the future to disrupt Spinco's operations. They may also apply pressure to local, regional and national government officials to take actions which are adverse to Spinco's operations. Such actions could have an adverse effect on Spinco's ability to advance its projects and, as a result, on its financial position and results.

Climate Change

Spinco recognizes climate change as an international and community concern. The effects of climate change or extreme weather events may cause prolonged disruption to the delivery of essential commodities which could negatively affect operations efficiency. Furthermore, increased regulation of greenhouse gas emissions (including in the form of carbon taxes or other charges) may adversely affect Spinco's operations and that related legislation is becoming more stringent.

Spinco will be focused on operating in a manner that minimizes environmental impacts of its activities; however, environmental impacts from exploration and drilling activities are inevitable. The physical risks of climate change that may impact Spinco's operations are highly uncertain and may be particular to the unique geographic circumstances associated with each of its operations. Such physical risks include, but are not limited to, extreme weather events, resource shortages, changes in rainfall and storm patterns and intensities, water shortages, changing sea levels and changing temperatures. There may also be supply chain implications in getting supplies to Spinco's operations, including transportation issues. Spinco will make efforts to mitigate climate risks by ensuring that extreme weather conditions are included in its emergency response plans. However, there is no assurance that the response will be effective, and the physical risks of climate change will not have an adverse effect on Spinco's operations and profitability.

Moreover, governments are introducing climate change legislation and treaties at the international, national and local levels. Regulations relating to emission levels and energy efficiency are becoming more stringent, which may result in increased costs of compliance. Some of the costs associated with reducing emissions can be offset by increased energy efficiency and technological innovation. However, if current regulatory trends continue, this may result in increased costs at some or all of Spinco's operations. There is no assurance that such regulations will not have an adverse effect on Spinco's results of operations and financial condition.

Changes in Government Regulation

In addition to climate change, other changes in government regulations or the application thereof and the presence of unknown environmental hazards on any of Spinco's mineral properties may result in significant unanticipated compliance and reclamation costs. Government regulations and treaty provisions relating to mineral rights tenure, permission to disturb areas and the right to operate can adversely affect Spinco.

Spinco may not be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out exploration on any of its projects. Obtaining the necessary governmental permits is a complex, time consuming and costly process. The duration and success of efforts to obtain permits are contingent upon many variables not within Spinco's control. Obtaining environmental permits may increase costs and cause delays depending on the nature of the activity to be permitted and the interpretation of applicable requirements implemented by the permitting authority. There can be no assurance that all necessary approvals and permits will be obtained and, if obtained, that the costs involved will not exceed those that the Spinco had previously estimated. It is possible that the costs and delays associated with the compliance with such standards and regulations could become such that the Spinco would not proceed with the development or operation.

COVID-19 and Other Pandemics

Spinco's business could be significantly adversely affected by the outbreak of epidemics or pandemics or other health crises, including any outbreak of additional strains of COVID-19. Global reactions to the spread of COVID-19 led to, among other things, significant restrictions in many jurisdictions on travel and gatherings of individuals, quarantines, temporary business closures and a general reduction in consumer activity. Such epidemics, pandemics or other public health crises could materially and adversely impact Spinco's business, including without limitation, employee health, workforce availability and productivity, limitations on travel, supply chain disruptions, increased insurance premiums, increased costs and reduced efficiencies, the availability of industry experts and personnel, restrictions on Spinco's exploration and drilling programs and/or the timing to process drill and other metallurgical testing and the slowdown or temporary suspension of operations. More broadly, such an outbreak could disrupt economic activity, resulting in reduced commercial and consumer confidence and spending, volatility in the global economy, and instability in the credit and financial markets, all of which could have an adverse impact on Spinco's business, results of operations and financial condition.

Competitive Conditions

Spinco's activities will be directed towards exploration, evaluation and development of mineral deposits. The mineral exploration industry is competitive and Spinco will be required to compete for the acquisition of mineral permits, claims, leases and other mineral interests for operations, exploration and development projects. As a result of this competition Spinco may not be able to acquire or retain prospective development projects, technical experts that can find, develop and mine such mineral properties and interests, workers to operate its mineral properties, and capital to finance exploration, development and future operations. Spinco competes with other mining companies, some of which have greater financial resources and technical facilities, for the acquisition of mineral property interests, the recruitment and retention of qualified employees; and for investment capital with which to fund its projects. If Spinco is unable to successfully compete in its industry it could have a material adverse effect on Spinco's results of operations and financial condition.

Political, Economic and Other Risks of Operating in Guyana and Suriname

Spinco will be engaged in the business acquiring and exploring gold mineral properties in Guyana and Suriname, and, as such, its operations will be exposed to various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties inherent in operating in such jurisdictions. These risks and uncertainties of operating in Guyana and Suriname may vary from time to time. They include, but are not limited to, a limited local workforce; poor infrastructure; currency exchange rates; high rates of inflation; labour unrest; expropriation; nationalization; renegotiation or nullification of existing licences, permits and contracts; changes in taxation policies; restrictions on foreign exchange; changing political conditions; currency controls and governmental regulations that favour or require the awarding of contracts to local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction; and border disputes with Venezuela and each of Guyana and Suriname. Future government actions cannot be predicted and may adversely affect Spinco. Changes, if any, in mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitude in the country of Guyana may adversely affect Spinco's business, results of operations and financial condition.

Border Controversy Between Guyana and Venezuela

The internationally recognized border between Guyana and Venezuela was established in 1899 by an arbitration panel. The territory of Guyana has been continuously administered and controlled by Guyana since that time. The Venezuelan government claims that the Essequibo territory, a large area within Guyana that is west of the Essequibo River extending to the border of Venezuela, belongs to Venezuela. The resurgence of protests by the Venezuelan government in recent years has corresponded with the commencement of oil production and offshore oil discoveries within Guyana's borders.

On December 3, 2023, the government of Venezuela held a consultative referendum over control of the Essequibo territory. The results of the referendum, including Venezuela's unilateral claim over the Essequibo territory and disregard for the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice in this matter, have been disputed. The Guyanese and Venezuelan governments have since agreed not threaten or use force against one another in any circumstances, including those consequential to any existing controversies between the two nations, including disputes with respect to the Essequibo territory.

Spinco will be engaged in the business of acquiring and exploring gold mineral properties, which is located in the Essequibo territory. Future government actions with respect to the territorial dispute over the Essequibo territory cannot be predicted. If the dispute between Guyana and Venezuela continues or escalates it may adversely affect Spinco's business, results of operations and financial condition.

Properties May Be Subject to Defects in Title

Spinco plans to investigate its rights to explore and exploit its projects and, would like to ensure that to the best of its knowledge, its rights are in good standing. However, no assurance can be given that such rights will not be revoked, or significantly altered, to Spinco's detriment. There can also be no assurance that Spinco's rights will not be challenged or impugned by third parties.

Some of Spinco's mineral claims may overlap with other mineral claims owned by third parties which may be considered senior in title to the Spinco's mineral claims. The junior claim is only invalid in the areas where it overlaps a senior claim. Spinco has not determined which, if any, of Spinco mineral claims is junior to a mineral claim held by a third party. Although Spinco is not aware of any existing title uncertainties with respect to any of its projects, there is no assurance that such uncertainties will not result in future losses or additional expenditures, which could have an adverse impact on Spinco's future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition.

Reliance on Contractors and Experts

In various aspects of its operations, Spinco plans to rely on the services, expertise and recommendations of its service providers and their employees and contractors, whom often are engaged at significant expense to Spinco. For example, the decision as to whether a property contains a commercial mineral deposit and should be brought into production depends in large part upon the results of exploration programs and/or feasibility studies, and the recommendations of duly qualified third party engineers and/or geologists. In addition, while Spinco emphasizes the importance of conducting operations in a safe and sustainable manner, it cannot exert absolute control over the actions of these third parties when providing services to Spinco or otherwise operating on Spinco's properties. Any material error, omission, act of negligence or act resulting in environmental pollution, accidents or spills, industrial and transportation accidents, work stoppages or other actions could adversely affect Spinco's operations and financial condition.

Legal and Litigation Risks

All industries, including the exploration industry, are subject to legal claims, with and without merit. Defense and settlement costs of legal claims can be substantial, even with respect to claims that have no merit. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the litigation process, the resolution of any particular legal proceeding to which Spinco may become subject could have a material adverse effect on Spinco's business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results. Defense and settlement of costs of legal claims can be substantial.

Risks Related to Statutory and Regulatory Compliance

Spinco's current and future operations, from exploration through development activities and commercial production, if any, will be governed by applicable laws, regulations and treaty obligations governing mineral claims acquisition, prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. Companies engaged in exploration activities and in the development and operation of mines and related facilities, generally experience increased costs and delays in production and other schedules as a result of the need to comply with applicable laws, regulations, treaty obligations and permits. There can be no assurance that all permits which Spinco may require for future exploration, construction of mining facilities and conduct of mining operations, if any, will be obtainable on reasonable terms or on a timely basis or at all, or that such laws and regulations would not have an adverse effect on any project which Spinco may undertake.

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, treaty obligations and permits may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including the forfeiture of claims, orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities requiring operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment or costly remedial actions. Spinco may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of its mineral exploration activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of such laws, regulations, treaty obligations and permits. Spinco is not currently covered by any form of environmental liability insurance.

Existing and possible future laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of exploration companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on Spinco and cause increases in capital expenditures or require abandonment or delays in exploration.

Insurance Risk

Spinco will be subject to a number of operational risks and may not be adequately insured for certain risks, including: accidents or spills, industrial and transportation accidents, which may involve hazardous materials, labour disputes, catastrophic accidents, fires, blockades or other acts of social activism, changes in the regulatory environment, impact of non-compliance with laws and regulations, natural phenomena such as inclement weather conditions, floods, earthquakes, ground movements, cave-ins, and encountering unusual or unexpected geological conditions and technological failure of exploration methods.

Limited Business History and No History of Earnings

Spinco has no history of operating earnings. The likelihood of success of Spinco must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the establishment of its business. Spinco has limited financial resources and there is no assurance that additional funding will be available to it for further operations or to fulfill its obligations under applicable agreements. There is no assurance that Spinco will ultimately generate revenues, operate profitably, or provide a return on investment, or that it will successfully implement its plans.

No-Dividends Policy

No dividends on the Spinco Shares have been paid to date. Payment of any future dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of the Board after taking into account many factors, including Spinco's operating results, financial conditions, development and growth, and current and anticipated cash needs.

Disclosure and Internal Controls

Internal controls over financial reporting are procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are properly authorized, assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use, and transactions are properly recorded and reported. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in reports filed with securities regulatory agencies is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis and is accumulated and communicated to Spinco's management, including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance with respect to the reliability of reporting, including financial reporting and financial statement preparation.

Spinco may fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of its internal controls over financial reporting as such standards are modified, supplemented, or amended from time to time, and Spinco may not be able to ensure that it can conclude on an ongoing basis that its internal controls over financial reporting are effective. Spinco's failure to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of its financial statements, which in turn could harm Spinco's business and negatively impact the trading price of the Spinco Shares. In addition, any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm Spinco's operating results or cause it to fail to meet its reporting obligations. There can be no assurance that the Spinco will be able to remediate material weaknesses, if any, identified in future periods, or maintain all the controls necessary for continued compliance, and there can be no assurance that Spinco will be able to retain sufficient skilled finance and accounting personnel, especially in light of the increased demand for such personnel among publicly traded companies. Future acquisitions of companies, if any, may provide Spinco with challenges in implementing the required processes, procedures and controls in its acquired operations. Acquired companies may not have disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting that are as thorough or effective as those required by the securities laws currently applicable to Spinco.

No evaluation can provide complete assurance that Spinco's internal control over financial reporting will detect or uncover all failures of persons within Spinco to disclose material information otherwise required to be reported. The effectiveness of Spinco's controls and procedures could also be limited by simple errors or faulty judgment. The challenges involved in implementing appropriate internal controls over financial reporting will likely increase with Spinco's plans for ongoing development of its business and this will require that the Spinco continues to improve its internal controls over financial reporting. Although Spinco intends to devote the required time and incur costs, as necessary, to ensure ongoing compliance, Spinco cannot be certain that it will be successful in doing so.

Cybersecurity Risks

Information systems and other technologies, including those related to Spinco's financial and operational management, are an integral part of Spinco's business activities. Network and information systems related events, such as computer hacking, cyber-attacks, computer viruses, works or other destructive or disruptive software, process breakdowns, denial of service attaches, or other malicious activities or any combination of the foregoing, or power outages, natural disasters, terrorist attacks or other similar events could result in damage to Spinco's property, equipment and date. These events also could result in significant expenditures to repair or replace damage property or information systems and/or to protect them from similar events in the future. Furthermore, any security breaches such as misappropriation, misuse, leakage, falsification, accidental release or loss of information contained in Spinco's information technology, including personal and other data could damage its reputation and require Spinco to expend significant capital and other resources to remedy any such security breach. Insurance held by Spinco may mitigate losses; however, if any such events or security breaches did occur, insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover any consequent losses or otherwise adequately compensate Spinco for disruptions to its business that may result and the occurrence of any such events or security breaches could have a material adverse effect on Spinco's operations and financial results. There can be no assurances that these events and/or security breaches will not occur in the future or not have an adverse effect on Spinco's operations and financial results.

Social Media Risks

As a result of social media and other web-based applications, companies today are at much greater risk of losing control over how they are perceived. Damage to Spinco's reputation can be the result of the actual or perceived occurrence of any number of events, and could include any negative publicity, whether true or not. Although Spinco will place a great emphasis on protecting its image and reputation, it does not ultimately have direct control over how it is perceived by others. Reputation loss may lead to increased challenges in developing and maintaining community relations, decreased investor confidence and act as an impediment to Spinco's overall ability to advance its projects, thereby having a material adverse impact on Spinco's business, financial condition or results of operations.

No Assurance of Listing of Spinco Shares

The Spinco Shares are not currently listed on any stock exchange. Although Reunion Gold and Spinco will apply to have the Spinco Shares listed on the TSX-V, any such listing is subject to the approval of the TSX-V in accordance with its original listing requirements and there can be no assurance that the TSX-V will approve the listing application (or, if the TSX-V does not approve the listing application, that the Spinco Shares will be listed on another stock exchange). The lack of a listing may make it difficult to sell Spinco Shares and could lead to the price of Spinco Shares being depressed.

Changes in the Market Price of Common Shares

The Spinco Shares are expected to be listed on the TSX-V. The price of the Spinco Shares is likely to be significantly affected by short-term changes in the gold price or in its financial condition or results of operations as reflected in its quarterly earnings reports. Other factors unrelated to Spinco's performance that may have an effect on the price of Spinco Shares and may adversely affect an investor's ability to liquidate an investment and consequently an investor's interest in acquiring a significant stake in Spinco include: a reduction in analyst coverage by investment banks with research capabilities, a drop in trading volume and general market interest in Spinco's securities, a failure to meet the reporting and other obligations under relevant securities laws or imposed by applicable stock exchanges could result in a delisting of Spinco Shares and a substantial decline in the price of the Spinco Shares that persists for a significant period of time.

Additional Funding Requirement and Shareholder Equity Dilution

Spinco's business is in the exploration stage and Spinco does not carry on mining activities. As such, it will require additional financing to continue its operations. Spinco's ability to secure additional financing and fund ongoing exploration will be affected by many factors, including the strength of the economy and other general economic factors. Global financial conditions continue to be subject to volatility arising from international geopolitical developments and global economic phenomenon, as well as general financial market turbulence. Access to public financing and credit can be negatively impacted by the effect of these events on Canadian and global credit markets. These instances of volatility and market turmoil could adversely impact Spinco's operations and the trading price of the Spinco Shares. There can be no assurance that Spinco will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future, or that the terms of such financing will be favourable for further exploration and development of its projects. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration, drilling and/or development. Further, revenues, financings and profits, if any, will depend upon various factors, including the success, if any, of exploration programs and general market conditions for natural resources.

In order to finance future operations, Spinco may raise funds through the issuance of additional Spinco Shares or the issuance of debt instruments or other securities convertible into Spinco Shares. Spinco cannot predict the size of future issuances of Spinco Shares or the issuance of debt instruments or other securities convertible into Spinco Shares or the dilutive effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of Spinco securities will have on the market price of the Spinco Shares.

Key Personnel

Exploration of Spinco's projects will be dependent on the efforts of Spinco's employees and contractors. Changes in the relationship between Spinco and its employees or contractors may have a material adverse effect on Spinco's business, results of operations and financial condition.

Spinco will be also dependent upon key management personnel. The loss of the services of one or more of such key management personnel could have a material adverse effect on Spinco. Spinco's ability to manage its exploration and financing activities will depend in large part on the efforts of these individuals. Spinco faces significant competition for qualified personnel and Spinco may not be able to attract and retain such personnel.

Asset Valuation

Spinco plans to test the valuation of its property, plant and equipment and exploration and evaluation assets when indications of potential impairment or reversal of a previously recognized impairment are identified.

Spinco's management's assumptions and estimates of future cash flows are subject to risks and uncertainties, particularly in market conditions where higher volatility exists, and may be partially or totally outside of Spinco's control. Therefore, it is reasonably possible that changes could occur with evolving economic and market conditions, which may affect the fair value of Spinco's property, plant and equipment and exploration and evaluation assets resulting in either an impairment charge or reversal of impairment.

If Spinco fails to achieve its valuation assumptions or if any of its property, plant and equipment, exploration and evaluation assets or cash generating units have experienced a decline in fair value, an impairment charge may be required to be recorded, causing a reduction in Spinco's earnings.

Conversely, if there are observable indicators that any of its property, plant and equipment, exploration and evaluation assets or cash generating units have experienced an increase in fair value, a reversal of a prior impairment may be required to be recorded, causing an increase in Spinco's earnings.

Bankruptcy, Liquidation or Reorganization

In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of Spinco, holders of certain of its indebtedness and certain trade creditors will generally be entitled to payment of their claims from the assets of Spinco before any assets are made available for distribution to the shareholders. The Spinco Shares will be effectively subordinated to most of the other indebtedness and liabilities of Spinco.

Taxes and Tax Audits

Spinco will be subject to routine tax audits by various tax authorities. Tax audits may result in additional tax, interest and penalties, which would negatively affect Spinco's financial condition and operating results. Changes in tax rules and regulations or in the interpretation of tax rules and regulations by the courts or the tax authorities may also have a substantial negative impact on Spinco's business.

Going Concern and Insolvency

Spinco's financial statements will be prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that Spinco will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due into the foreseeable future.

  • (2) An Option may be exercised pursuant to this Section 4.3 from time to time by delivery to the Company, at its head office or such other place as may be specified by the Company of (i) written notice of exercise in the form set forth in Schedule B specifying that the Optionee has elected to effect such a cashless exercise of such Option and the number of Options to be exercised and (ii) the payment of an amount for any tax withholding or remittance obligations of the Optionee or the Company arising under Applicable Law and verified by the Company to its satisfaction (or by entering into some other arrangement acceptable to the Company in its discretion, if any). The Optionee shall comply with Section 4.4 of this Plan with regard to any applicable required withholding obligations and with such other procedures and policies as the Company may prescribe or determine to be

necessary or advisable from time to time including prior written consent of the Board in connection with such exercise.

Section 4.4 Tax Withholding and Procedures

  • (1) The issuance of any Optioned Shares by the Company to an Optionee upon the exercise of any Option is subject to compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of all Governmental Entities applicable to the purchase and distribution of such Optioned Shares. The Service Provider agrees: (i) to comply with all such laws, rules, regulations and requirements; (ii) to furnish to the Company any information, report and/or undertakings required to comply with all such laws, rules, regulations and requirements; and (iii) to fully cooperate with the Company in complying with such laws, rules, regulations and requirements, including all tax withholding and remittance obligations.
  • (2) The Company shall have the right to withhold at source from the Optionee's other earnings all applicable income taxes and other withholdings required by law on any benefit realized upon the exercise of any Option.
  • (3) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Plan, the Company may, from time to time, implement such procedures and conditions as it determines appropriate with respect to the withholding and remittance of taxes imposed under Applicable Law, or the funding of related amounts for which liability may arise under such Applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, an Optionee who wishes to exercise an Option must, in addition to following the procedures set out in Section 4.2 and elsewhere in this Plan, and as a condition of exercise:
  • (a) deliver a certified cheque, wire transfer or bank draft payable to the Company for the amount determined by the Company to be the appropriate amount on account of such taxes or related amounts; or
  • (b) otherwise ensure, in a manner acceptable to the Company (if at all) in its sole and unfettered discretion, that the amount will be securely funded;

and must in all other respects follow any related procedures and conditions imposed by the Company.

Section 4.5 Delivery of Optioned Shares and Hold Periods

  • (1) As soon as practicable after receipt of the notice of exercise described in Section 4.2 or Section 4.3 as applicable, and payment in full for the Optioned Shares being acquired, the Company will direct its transfer agent to issue to the Optionee the appropriate number of Optioned Shares.
  • (2) Pursuant to TSX Venture Policies, where the Exchange Hold Period is applicable, the certificate representing the Optioned Shares or written notice in the case of uncertificated shares will include a legend stipulating that the Optioned Shares issued are subject to a fourmonth Exchange Hold Period commencing the date of the Option Agreement.

ARTICLE 5 GENERAL

Section 5.1 Employment and Services

Nothing contained in the Plan will confer upon or imply in favour of any Optionee any right with respect to office, employment or provision of services with the Company, or interfere in any way with the right of the Company to lawfully terminate the Optionee's office, employment or service at any time pursuant to the arrangements pertaining to same. Participation in the Plan by an Optionee is voluntary. The awarding of Options is a matter to be determined solely in the discretion of the Board. This Plan will not in any way fetter, limit, obligate, restrict or constrain the Board with regard to the allotment or issue of any Common Shares or any other securities in the capital of the Company other than as specifically provided for in this Plan. The grant of an Option to, or the exercise or settlement of an Option by, a Service Provider under this Plan does not create the right for such Service Provider to receive additional grants of Options under this Plan.

Section 5.2 No Representation or Warranty

The Company makes no representation or warranty as to the future market value of Common Shares issued in accordance with the provisions of the Plan or to the effect of the Income Tax Act (Canada) or any other taxing statute governing the Options or the Common Shares issuable thereunder or the tax consequences to a Service Provider. Compliance with applicable securities laws as to the disclosure and resale obligations of each Optionee is the responsibility of each Optionee and not the Company.

Section 5.3 No Guarantee

For greater certainty, the granting of Options to a Service Provider shall not impose any obligation on the Company to grant any Options in the future nor shall it entitle the Service Provider to receive future grants. No amount will be paid to or in respect of a Service Provider under the Plan or pursuant to any other arrangement, and no Options will be granted to such Service Provider to compensate for any downward fluctuation in the price of the Common Shares, nor will any other form of benefit be conferred upon or in respect of the Service Provider for such purpose.

Section 5.4 Acceptance of Terms

Participation in the Plan by any Service Provider shall be construed as acceptance of the terms and conditions of the Plan by the Service Provider and as to the Service Provider's agreement to be bound thereby.

Section 5.5 Notice

Any notice required to be given by this Plan must be in writing and be given by registered mail, prepaid postage, or delivered by courier or by email addressed, if to the Company, to the head office of the Company at the attention of the Chief Financial Officer; or if to a Service Provider, to such Service Provider by electronic mail at his or her email address, by hand delivery or courier at his or her address as it appears on the books of the Company or in the event of the address of any such Service Provider not so appearing, then to the last known address of such Service Provider; or if to any other person, to the last known address of such person.

Section 5.6 Successors and Assigns

The Plan shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Company and a Service Provider, including without limitation, the personal legal representatives of a Service Provider, or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or representative of the Company or Service Provider's creditors.

Section 5.7 Severability

The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the Plan shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision and any invalid or unenforceable provision shall be severed from the Plan.

Section 5.8 No Liability

No member of the Board, or any committee or other subdelegate shall be liable for any action or determination taken or made in good faith in the administration, interpretation, construction or application of the Plan or any Option granted hereunder.

Section 5.9 Governing Law

This Plan shall be governed by, and interpreted and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

Section 5.10 Interpretation

The Plan will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia.

Section 5.11 Continuation of Plan

This Plan will become effective upon applicable shareholder approval and Regulatory Approval, and will remain effective provided that the Plan, or any amended version thereof, receives applicable shareholder approval.

Section 5.12 Amendment of the Plan

The Board reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to at any time amend, modify or terminate the Plan with respect to all Common Shares in respect of Options which have not yet been granted hereunder.

Please select "Option 1" or "Option 2".

Number of Shares to be Acquired: _____________________________

Option Exercise Price (per Share): \$_____________________________

Aggregate Purchase Price: \$_____________________________

Amount enclosed that is payable on account of withholding of tax or other required deductions relating to the exercise of the Options (contact the Company for details of such amount) (the "Applicable Withholdings and Deductions"): \$_____________________________

□ Or check here if alternative arrangements have been made with the Company with respect to the payment of Applicable Withholdings and Deductions;

and hereby tenders cash, a certified cheque or bank draft for such aggregate purchase price, and, if

Number of Options being Exercised: _____________________________

Option Exercise Price (per Share): \$_____________________________

I wish to use the services of [BROKER] to sell all of the Common Shares issuable upon exercise by me of my Options and to use the proceeds thereof to pay the Exercise Price and Applicable Withholdings and Deductions. I therefore irrevocably authorize and direct the Company to:

    1. Issue the ________________ Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of my Options to [BROKER] on my behalf and to deliver the shares to [BROKER]; and
    1. In the event that the net proceeds of the sale of my Common Shares (after payment of all commissions and other transfer costs, including Applicable Withholdings and Deductions) are less than the full Exercise Price of the Options, to withhold and deduct from any amounts payable to me

by the Company, including my wages or salary, the amount of such shortfall, and to apply such shortfall in full or partial payment of the Exercise Price of my Options,

and this is your good and sufficient authority for so doing.

I further irrevocably authorize and direct [BROKER] to:

    1. Immediately sell on my behalf all of my Common Shares and to immediately remit to the Company out of the net proceeds of such sale (after commission and other transfer costs) an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) \$__________________, being the Exercise Price of my Options, payable to the Company in full payment for the Common Shares; and (ii) the net proceeds of such sale; and

and this is your good and sufficient authority for so doing.

I understand, acknowledge and agree that:

    1. This broker assisted cashless exercise mechanism has been developed for my convenience, and therefore I will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and [BROKER] for any losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs, charges or expenses which either the Company or [BROKER] may incur arising directly or indirectly by reason of the "cashless exercise" of my Options.
    1. The Company will issue the Common Shares (in registered or book-entry form) in the name of [BROKER] (or its nominee) as agent acting on my behalf.
    1. In the event that the net proceeds of the sale of my Common Shares (after payment of all commissions and other transfer costs, including Applicable Withholdings and Deductions) are less than the full Exercise Price of my Options, I will immediately, upon demand, deliver to the Company, by certified cheque or bank draft, the amount of such shortfall, and the Company is authorized to deduct from any amounts payable to me by the Company, including my wages or salary, the amount of such shortfall, and to apply such shortfall in full or partial payment of the Exercise Price of my Options.
    1. For the purpose of facilitating this "cashless exercise" and payment of the Exercise Price, I hereby constitute and appoint the Company as my true and lawful attorney with full power of substitution in my name and on my behalf, with no restriction or limitation in that regard, and declare that such power of attorney may be exercised during any subsequent legal incapacity on my part, to execute and deliver all such agreements and documents and take such other actions as may be necessary to give effect to the "cashless exercise" of my Options and the payment by me to the Company of the full Exercise Price of such Options.

GREENHEART GOLD INC.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

as at April 19, 2024

In Canadian dollars

.

Independent Auditor's Report

Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton LLP Suite 2000 National Bank Tower 600 De La Gauchetière Street West Montréal, Quebec H3B 4L8

T 514-878-2691

To the Shareholder of Greenheart Gold Inc.

Opinion

We have audited the opening balance sheet of Greenheart Gold Inc. (hereafter "the Company") as at April 19, 2024, and notes to the opening balance sheet, including material accounting policy information (together "the opening balance sheet").

In our opinion, the accompanying opening balance sheet presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at April 19, 2024 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (hereafter "IFRS Accounting Standards").

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the opening balance sheet" section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the opening balance sheet in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the opening balance sheet

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the opening balance sheet in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of an opening balance sheet that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the opening balance sheet, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Member of Grant Thornton International Ltd rcgt.com

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the opening balance sheet

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the opening balance sheet as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this opening balance sheet.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • − Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the opening balance sheet, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;
  • − Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control;
  • − Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management;
  • − Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the opening balance sheet or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern;
  • − Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the opening balance sheet, including the disclosures, and whether the opening balance sheet represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

1. DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION

These unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared as part of a proposed plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") between Reunion Gold Corporation ("Reunion Gold") and G Mining Ventures Corp. ("GMIN") whereby a newly formed parent company ("New GMIN") will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of GMIN and Reunion Gold (the "Transaction"). Under the terms of the Arrangement, the shareholders of GMIN and Reunion Gold will be entitled to receive common shares of New GMIN formed to effect the Transaction. In addition, Reunion Gold shareholders will receive common shares in the capital of Greenheart Gold Inc. ("SpinCo" or "Greenheart"), a newly formed company, which will hold all of Reunion Gold's exploration assets other than Oko West, established using an exchange ratio of 0.05 of a SpinCo share for each issued and outstanding Reunion Gold share. Under the terms of the Arrangement, GMIN has agreed to fund SpinCo with C\$15 million. It is expected that SpinCo will be listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, subject to regulatory approval.

Upon completion of the Transaction, it is expected that New GMIN will indirectly hold 19.9% of the issued shares of SpinCo and Reunion Gold shareholders will hold 80.1% of the issued shares of SpinCo.

The completion of the Arrangement is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including TSX approval, court approval, and obtaining the requisite approvals from the security holders of Reunion Gold and GMIN.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements are for illustrative and information purposes only and may not be indicative of the results that may be obtained in the future. In addition to the pro forma adjustments, various other factors may influence the financial condition and results of operations after the completion of the Transaction.

It is management's opinion that these unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments necessary for fair presentation, in all material respects, of the Transaction described in Note 1. These unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statement are not intended to be indicative of the financial condition that would have been achieved if the transaction had been completed on the date presented, nor does it purport to project the financial position of the consolidated entity for any future period or as of any future date.

These unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements of SpinCo have been derived from:

  • (i) the audited initial statement of financial position of Greenheart as at April 19, 2024;
  • (ii) Greenheart's carve-out financial statements for the period from February 9, 2024 to March 31, 2024, converted from US dollars to Canadian dollars, consisting solely of the financial statements of Abuya Resources Inc for that period (except for note 10);
  • (iii) the Arrangement (Note 1); and
  • (iv) other information available to Reunion Gold' management.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

These unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements gives effect to the Arrangement as if it had taken place on March 31, 2024. The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss gives effect to the Arrangement as if it had taken place between February 9, 2024 and March 31, 2024. Note 3 outlines the pro forma assumptions and adjustments that have been made.

Following the completion of the Transaction, SpinCo will have i) cash of \$15,000,000; ii) 100% of the shares of Abuya Resources Inc. ("Abuya"), incorporated on February 9, 2024 under the Companies Act of Guyana; Abuya holds certain mineral properties and certain other assets located in Guyana, other than Oko West; and iii) an interest to acquire the Majorodam mineral property located in Suriname through a Suriname branch office.

These unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements have been compiled using the significant accounting policies set out in the unaudited Interim Financial Statements of Abuya as at March 31, 2024.

3. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS

The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the following adjustments as if they had occurred on March 31, 2024:

  • (a) The initial consideration of \$203,250 (US\$150,000) related to an option agreement to conduct exploration activities and acquire all the rights, title and interest in the Majorodam gold project located in Suriname.
  • (b) The issue of 76,817,017 common shares to New GMIN as consideration for the assets transferred from Reunion Gold to SpinCo totalling \$15,792,999 (which includes cash of \$15,000,000, 100% of the shares of Abuya and an interest to acquire the Majorodam mineral property located in Suriname) and taking into account the value of 57,066,667 Replacement SpinCo Options in the amount of \$251,865, presented as a reduction of share capital; of the total shares issued, 15,290,000 common shares are issued to New GMIN for an interest of 19.9% in the share capital of the Company and 61,527,017 common shares (representing 0.05 share of the 1,230,540,345 issued shares of Reunion Gold at March 31, 2024) are for distribution to the shareholders of Reunion Gold; as part of the Arrangement Agreement, a total of 57,066,667 stock options (representing outstanding stock options of Reunion Gold at March 31, 2024) are issued by SpinCo for distribution to the option holders of Reunion Gold with each such stock option entitling the holder to 0.05 of a SpinCo share; these stock options were valued by applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using an expected time-period of 2.1 years, a weighted average risk-free interest of 4.3%, an expected volatility of 100% based on the volatility of comparable companies, and a 0% dividend factor.
  • (c) A reduction in share capital of \$318 to eliminate Abuya's historical share capital.
  • (d) A reduction on contributed surplus of \$628,994 to eliminate Abuya's historical accumulated contributed surplus account.
  • (e) An adjustment of \$39,563 to eliminate Abuya's historical accumulated losses.
  • (f) As a result of the Arrangement described in Note 1, the pro forma loss per common share is calculated using 76,817,018 of pro forma share capital as detailed in Note 4.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY RISK

These interim Carve-out Financial Statements are being prepared as part of a proposed plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") between Reunion Gold Corporation ("Reunion Gold") and G Mining Ventures Corp. ("GMIN") whereby a newly formed parent company ("New GMIN") will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of GMIN and Reunion Gold (the "Transaction"). Under the terms of the Arrangement, the shareholders of GMIN and Reunion Gold will be entitled to receive common shares of New GMIN formed to effect the Transaction. In addition, Reunion Gold shareholders will receive common shares in the capital of Greenheart Gold Inc. ("SpinCo"), a newly formed company, which will hold 100% of the shares of Abuya Resources Inc. ("Abuya" or the "Company") which at March 31, 2024 includes all of Reunion Gold's exploration assets other than Oko West. Under the terms of the Arrangement, GMIN has agreed to fund SpinCo with \$15 million.

As at March 31, 2024, Abuya, incorporated under the Companies Act of Guyana on February 9, 2024, holds all of Reunion Gold's exploration assets other than Oko West. These unaudited interim Carve-out Financial Statements are for the initial period from Abuya's incorporation (February 9, 2024) to March 31, 2024 and are those of Abuya (except for Note 10 which includes the acquisition of an interest in a property in Suriname). The unaudited interim financial statements of Abuya were converted from US dollars to Canadian dollars for purposes of these Carve-out Financial Statements.

Abuya Resources Inc.'s registered office is located at 105 Campbell Avenue, Campbellville, Georgetown, Guyana. Reunion Gold is the Company's parent company. The principal activities of the Company are the exploration and development of mineral properties.

The Company has not earned any revenue to date from its operations. It is in the process of exploring and developing its resources properties.

These unaudited interim Carve-out Financial Statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue to operate for the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company's ability to continue to do so is dependent on the continued support of its parent company and its ability to obtain future financing. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain financing in the future, and there is no assurance that such financing sources or initiatives will be available to the Company or that they will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These interim Carve-out Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the "IFRS Accounting Standards"). The interim Carveout Financial Statements as at March 31, 2024 and for the period from February 9, 2024 to March 31, 2024 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. These Carve-out Financial Statements include the Company's interest in the Carve-out Assets as well as an allocation of certain costs related to management and administrative activities in Guyana for the period from February 9, 2024 to March 31, 2024.

Management believes the basis of preparation described above results in the interim Carve-out Financial Statements reflecting the assets and liabilities associated with the proposed spin-out of the Carve-out Assets and reflects costs associated with the level of activity conducted during the interim period. However, as the Company did not operate as a stand-alone entity during the period presented, the interim Carve-out Financial Statements may not be indicative of the Company's future performance.

The Board of Directors approved and authorized for issuance these interim Carve-out Financial Statements on May 31, 2024.

3. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies set out below have been applied in the preparation of these interim Carve-out Financial Statements.

Foreign currency translation

Abuya's financial statements are prepared in US dollars, which is the functional currency of Abuya. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the re-measurement of monetary items at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary items are translated using the exchange rate at the transaction date. These unaudited interim financial statements of Abuya were converted from US dollars to Canadian dollars for purposes of these Carve-out Financial Statements.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments are measured on initial recognition at fair value, plus directly attributable transaction costs. Financial instruments are recognized when the Company becomes party to the contracts that give rise to them and are classified as amortized cost. The Company has no financial assets as at March 31, 2024.

Financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs. After initial recognition, financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Company has no financial liabilities at March 31, 2024.

Notes to the interim Carve-out Financial Statements For the period from February 9, 2024 to March 31, 2024 (unaudited - in Canadian dollars)

3. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

A financial asset is derecognised when either the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party. If neither the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired nor the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset, the Company will assess whether it has relinquished control of the asset or not. If the Company does not control the asset, then derecognition is appropriate.

A financial liability is derecognised when the associated obligation is discharged or canceled or has expired. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

Mineral properties and exploration and evaluation expenditures

Costs incurred before the legal right to undertake exploration and evaluation activities has been obtained are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. The cost of acquiring licenses and other expenditures associated with the acquisition of exploration and evaluation assets are capitalized as intangible assets under mineral properties on a property-by-property basis and are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. No amortization expense is recognized on these assets during the exploration and evaluation period. Other exploration and evaluation expenditures are expensed as incurred. Once a project has been established as commercially viable and technically feasible, mineral properties are reclassified as tangible assets and related development expenditures are capitalized. An impairment test is performed before reclassification and any impairment loss is then recognized in profit or loss. Whenever a mining property is no longer viable or is abandoned, the capitalized amounts are written-down to their net recoverable amounts with the related charge recognised in profit or loss.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an item of property and equipment consists of the purchase price and all other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use, including finance expense attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis using the cost of an item of property and equipment, less its estimated residual value, over its estimated useful life. Each asset's residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reassessed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the reporting date. Service vehicles and other exploration equipment are depreciated over 3 years and computer equipment is depreciated over 2 years. The carrying amount of an item of property and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. The gain or loss arising from the derecognition is included in profit or loss when the item is derecognized.

Notes to the interim Carve-out Financial Statements For the period from February 9, 2024 to March 31, 2024 (unaudited - in Canadian dollars)

3. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Impairment of non-financial assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets with finite lives to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. Where such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. Long lived assets that are not amortized are subject to an annual impairment assessment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less cost to sell or its value in use. Value in use takes into account estimated future cash flows associated with the asset, such value being discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In the case of exploration and evaluation assets, impairment reviews are carried out on a property-by-property basis, with each property representing a potential cash-generating unit. A previous impairment is reversed if the asset's recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.

Taxation

Provision is made for deferred tax using the liability method for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of the assets and liabilities and their carrying values for financial reporting purposes. Currently or substantively enacted tax rates at the end of the reporting period are used to determine deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that the underlying tax loss or deductible temporary difference will be utilized against future taxable income. The effective tax rate at March 31, 2024 was 25%.

Equity

Share capital is the amount resulting from the number of shares issued and the par value of those shares. Share premium represents the difference between the par value of the shares issued and the value received for those shares. Deficit consists of accumulated losses. All transactions with owners of the parent company are recorded separately within equity.

3. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Material accounting judgments and estimates

The preparation of these interim Carve-out Financial Statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These interim Carveout Financial Statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the financial position reporting date, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to the following:

a) Title to mineral properties

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an option to earn an interest, these procedures are subject to certain assumptions and do not guarantee such title ownership. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

b) Property and equipment

Management reviews annually the carrying amounts of its property and equipment to determine whether any impairment loss has occurred and its estimate of the useful life of property and equipment, and accounts for any changes in estimates prospectively.

c) Exploration and evaluation assets

The application of the accounting policy for exploration and evaluation assets requires judgment in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits will flow to the Company. If, after exploration and evaluation activities have been conducted, information becomes available suggesting that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount, the Company carries out an impairment test in the year the new information becomes available.

3. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Material accounting judgments and estimates (continued)

d) Liquidity risk

The assessment of the Company's ability to execute its strategy by funding future working capital requirements involves judgment. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

4. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

On March 31, 2024, the Company purchased from Reunion Gold Inc., a company incorporated under the Companies Act of Guyana and wholly-owned by Reunion Gold, certain assets that will be used to conduct future exploration programs on the Company's current and future mineral properties. These assets were acquired at fair value and are subject to depreciation and amortization. They are as follows:

\$
Service vehicles 214,575
Computer equipment 15,206
Other exploration equipment 48,672
Net book value at March 31, 2024 278,453

5. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS

Amounts invested in exploration and evaluation assets not subject to depreciation and amortization are as follows:

February 9, March 31,
2024 Additions 2024
\$ \$ \$
Mazaruni Mining District, Guyana - 304,875 304,875

In February and March 2024, the Company entered into letter agreements with arm's length local mineral rights holders for the acquisition of mineral rights located in the Mazaruni Mining District. The agreements are subject to completion of due diligence to the satisfaction of the Company and execution of definitive agreements by September 30, 2024. The Company paid a total of \$304,875 (US\$225,000) on signing of the letter agreements and an amount of \$169,375 (US\$125,000) in April 2024 to secure an exclusivity period of three months entitling the Company to conduct due diligence.

6. SHARE CAPITAL

Authorized

One thousand (1,000) ordinary shares at a par value of Guyanese \$100 per share (\$0.64 (US\$0.47) per share).

Issued and fully paid

At March 31, 2024, the Company had 500 issued and fully paid ordinary shares.

Following the incorporation of the Company on February 9, 2024, the Company issued 200 ordinary shares to Reunion Gold on February 15, 2024, for an amount of \$128 (US\$95).

On March 31, 2024, the Company issued 300 shares to Reunion Gold as settlement of advances of \$629,184 (US\$464,342) made by Reunion Gold to the Company to that date. An amount of \$190 (US\$140) was credited to share capital and \$628,994 (US\$464,202) to share premium.

All shares issued and fully paid are held by Reunion Gold.

Notes to the interim Carve-out Financial Statements For the period from February 9, 2024 to March 31, 2024 (unaudited - in Canadian dollars)

7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In the normal course of business, the Company obtains services from Reunion Gold. Such transactions occur in the normal course of operations and are measured at an exchange amount, which is the amount established and accepted by the parties.

Related party transactions are as follows:

From February 9, 2024 to
March 31, 2024
\$
Management and administration expenses 25,155
25,155

These costs consist mainly of labor expenses.

Settlement of transactions and conversion into share capital

The Companys expenditures are settled through advances from the Company's parent company. Such advances amounted to \$629,184 (US\$464,342) during the period from February 9, 2024 to March 31, 2024, net of Reunion Golds initial investment of \$140 (US\$95) for the initial subscription of 200 common shares of the Company. At March 31, 2024, Reunion Gold agreed to subscribe for 300 additional common shares of the Company for a total subscription amount of \$629,184 (US\$464,342) as settlement of the advances made until that date. From this share subscription, an amount of \$190 (US\$140) was presented as share capital and \$628,994 (US\$464,202) was presented as share premium.

8. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company's capital management objective is to have sufficient capital to be able to pursue its exploration activities in order to ensure the growth of its assets. It also aims to have sufficient liquidity to finance its investing activities and working capital requirements. To March 31, 2024, the Company has financed its operations primarily from funding provided by Reunion Gold.

The Company's properties are currently in the exploration stage. As such, the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. The amount and timing of additional funding will depend in part upon the prevailing capital market conditions as well as the business performance of the Company. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements at March 31, 2024.

9. FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will be unable to meet its short-term financial obligations. The Company's goal in managing this risk is making sure it can meet its liabilities when they are due. However, there can be no assurance that the company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of the financing will be favorable (Note 1).

Foreign Currency Risk

In the normal course of operations, the Company is exposed to currency risk due to business transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity. The Company has not entered into any derivative contracts to manage this risk. Transactions related to the Company's exploration activities are mainly denominated in Guyanese dollars and United States dollars. The entity seeks to minimise its exposure to currency risk by monitoring exchange rates and entering foreign currency transactions that maximize the entity's position.

Political risk

The Company carries on its exploration activities in South America. These activities may be subject to political, economical or other risks that could influence the Company's exploration and development activities and future financial situation.

10. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE

Guyana

Subsequent to March 31, 2024, Abuya entered into two other letter agreements entitling it to acquire an interest in mineral rights located in the Cuyuni and Mazaruni Mining Districts of Guyana. These agreements are subject to completion of due diligence and execution of definitive agreements. Total initial payments made to secure an exclusivity period was \$205,960 (US\$152,000).

Suriname

On May 20, 2024, Reunion Gold entered into an option agreement with Stargold Suriname N.V. ("Stargold"), a privately held company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Suriname, entitling Reunion Gold to conduct exploration activities and acquire all the rights, title and interest in the Majorodam gold project (the "Majorodam Project") for a period of up to 12 years. The Majorodam Project comprises a right of exploitation for gold totalling 99.85 square kilometres and is located 100 km south of Paramaribo.

Reunion Gold paid an amount of \$203,250 (US\$150,000) to Stargold as initial consideration. To maintain the option, Reunion Gold will have to make annual payments of \$101,625 (US\$75,000) on the second to fifth anniversary and \$67,750 (US\$50,000) on the 6th to 11th anniversary. During the first two years of the agreement, Reunion Gold must spend a minimum of \$271,000 (US\$200,000) annually in project expenditures, \$677,500 (US\$500,000) during the third year and \$1,355,000 (US\$1,0000,000) during each of the fourth and fifth years. Reunion Gold may terminate this agreement, in its sole discretion and at any time, upon delivery of a thirty (30) day prior written notice. It is expected that this option agreement will be transferred to SpinCo prior to completion of the planned combination of Reunion Gold and GMIN, described in Note 1.

EXPLORATION PROPERTIES OF GREENHEART GOLD INC.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE PERIOD FROM FEBRUARY 9, 2024 TO MARCH 31, 2024

Introduction

This management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") is dated May 31, 2024, unless otherwise indicated and should be read in conjunction with the "carve out" financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in the joint management information circular ("Circular") of Reunion Gold Corporation ("Reunion Gold") and G Mining Ventures Corp. ("GMIN") relating to the Arrangement (as defined below). The results presented for the period from February 9, 2024 to March 31, 2024 (the "Review Period") are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period. All financial results presented in this MD&A are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in the following MD&A constitute forward-looking statements. Such forwardlooking statements involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Greenheart Gold Inc. (the "Company") to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Description of Business

The Company was incorporated under the name "15963982 Canada Inc." under the Canada Business Corporations Act ("CBCA") on April 19, 2024, for the purposes of completing the Arrangement (as defined below), and subsequently changed its name to "Greenheart Gold Inc." on May 10, 2024. The Company's registered office is located at 199 Bay Street, 5300 Commerce Court West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5L 1B9. The Company has not carried on any active business other than in connection with the Arrangement (as defined below) and related matters.

On April 22, 2024, the Company entered into an arrangement agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") with GMIN and Reunion Gold pursuant to which the businesses of Reunion Gold and GMIN will be combined (the "Arrangement") through a court-approved plan of arrangement under section 192 of the CBCA. Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, among other things, a newly formed company ("New GMIN") will (i) acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Reunion Gold (the "Reunion Gold Shares"), and upon closing of the Arrangement (the "Closing"), each holder of Reunion Gold Shares ("Reunion Gold Shareholder") will be entitled to receive 0.07125 of a common share in the capital of New GMIN (each whole share, a "New GMIN Share") and 0.05 of a common share in the capital of the Company (each whole share, a "Share") in exchange for each Reunion Gold Share held immediately prior to Closing, and (ii) acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of GMIN (the "GMIN Shares"), and upon Closing, each holder of GMIN Shares will be entitled to receive 0.25 of a New GMIN Share in exchange for each GMIN Share held immediately prior to Closing. Upon Closing, Reunion Gold Shareholders and Reunion Gold will own 80.1% and 19.9%, respectively, of the outstanding Shares of the Company.

The Arrangement is subject to certain conditions, including the approval by Reunion Gold Shareholders and the holders of Reunion Gold options (collectively, the "Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders") of the Reunion Gold Arrangement Resolution (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement), the approval by GMIN shareholders of the GMIN Arrangement Resolution (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement), the approval of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) and the conditional approval of the listing of the New GMIN Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Specifically, requisite Reunion Gold securityholder approval will be: (i) at least 662/3% of the votes cast by the Reunion Gold Shareholders, present in person or represented by proxy at the Reunion Gold meeting; (ii) at least 662/3% of the votes cast by the Reunion Gold Voting Securityholders, present in person or represented by proxy at the Reunion Gold meeting, voting together as a single class; and (iii) a majority of the votes cast by the Reunion Gold Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Reunion Gold meeting, excluding the votes attached to the Reunion Gold Shares held by those persons described in items (a) through (d) of Section 8.1(2) of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Arrangements ("MI 61-101").

Requisite GMIN shareholder approval will be: (i) at least 662/3% of the votes cast by the GMIN shareholders present in person (virtually) or represented by proxy at the annual and special meeting of GMIN shareholders to approve, inter alia, the Arrangement and certain related matters; and (ii) a majority of the votes cast by the GMIN shareholders present in person (virtually) or represented by proxy at the GMIN meeting, excluding the votes attached to the GMIN Shares held by La Mancha Investments S.à r.l. in accordance with Section 8.1(2) of MI 61-101.

Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the Company will acquire (i) all the shares issued and outstanding in Abuya Resources Inc. ("Abuya"), (ii) all of the interest of Reunion Gold in the mining claims (whether patented or unpatented), concessions, leases, licenses, surface rights or other mineral rights in respect of those assets and properties acquired (including the Majorodam Project in Suriname under an option agreement dated May 20, 2024) and those to be acquired by the Company as set forth in the Reunion Gold disclosure letter or as otherwise disclosed to GMIN, and (iii) \$15,000,000 in cash, on the terms and conditions set out in a contribution and conveyance agreement between Reunion Gold and the Company contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement.

Following completion of the Arrangement, the Company's focus will be on acquiring and exploring gold mineral properties in Guyana and Suriname, outside of the tract of land that lies within the area that is a 20 kilometer radius beyond the external boundaries of the Oko West gold project, but excluding two areas outlined in the geographic map which is attached as Schedule A to an investor rights agreement between Reunion Gold and the Company.

On May 20, 2024, Reunion Gold entered into an option agreement with Stargold Suriname N.V. ("Stargold"), a privately held company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Suriname, entitling Reunion Gold to conduct exploration activities and acquire all the rights, title and interest in the Majorodam gold project (the "Majorodam Project") for a period of up to 12 years. Reunion Gold paid an amount of \$203,250 (US\$150,000) to Stargold as initial consideration. To maintain the option, Reunion Gold will have to make annual payments of \$101,625 (US\$75,000) on the second to fifth anniversary and \$67,750 (US\$50,000) on the 6th to 11th anniversary. During the first two years of the agreement, Reunion Gold must spend a minimum of \$271,000 (US\$200,000) annually in project expenditures, \$677,500 (US\$500,000) during the third year and \$1,355,000 (US\$1,0000,000) during each of the fourth and fifth years. Reunion Gold may terminate this agreement, in its sole discretion and at any time, upon delivery of a thirty (30) day prior written notice. It is expected that the option agreement will be transferred to the Company prior to completion of the Arrangement Agreement.

The Majorodam Project comprises a right of exploitation for gold and other minerals totalling 99.85 square kilometres and is located 120 km south of Paramaribo. Approximately 15 km to the north of the Majorodam Project, and within the same greenstone belt, is the Saramacca deposit (previously held by Iamgold Corporation) containing 1.5 million ounces of gold in reserves. This proximity to existing and proven mineralization, as well as the location within a major northwest striking shear corridor controlling the

western edge of this greenstone belt, are two of the factors that have led Reunion Gold to this project. The Majorodam Project is an early-stage gold exploration project and, effective upon closing the Arrangement, will be considered by the Company to be its sole material property for the purposes of NI 43-101. The Majorodam Project is described in more detail in the technical report titled "Technical Report on the Majorodam Gold Project – Sipaliwini and Brokopondo districts of Suriname, South America", `with an effective date of May 20, 2024, a copy of which is available under Reunion Gold's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Discussion of Operations

The carve-out financial statements have been prepared for the purposes of the Arrangement, and reflect the exploration assets held as at March 31, 2024, and the operations, and cash flows for the period from February 9, 2024 to March 31, 2024 and the other assets acquired by the Company subsequent to March 31, 2024, as contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement (collectively the "Exploration Properties Business"). Given that the only exploration assets held at March 31, 2024 were those held by Abuya, incorporated under the Companies Act of Guyana on February 9, 2024, the carve-out financial statements are those of Abuya at March 31, 2024, except for the Events after the Reporting Date note which also refers to the option agreement for the Majorodam Project in Suriname. This asset is being held in a Suriname branch office and is expected to be transferred to the Company prior to completion of the Arrangement Agreement. The carve-out financial statements consist of statement of loss and comprehensive loss, statement of changes in shareholder's equity, statement of cash flows, and statement of financial position as if the Exploration Properties Business had been operating independently during the Review Period.

The statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the Review Period include expenses incurred during the period which consist mostly in management and administration costs incurred during this time period.

Management cautions readers of these carve-out financial statements that the allocation of expenses in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss does not necessarily reflect the nature and level of the Exploration Properties Business future operating expenses.

Mineral Property Interests

As part of the Arrangement, Reunion Gold's 100% interest in the Exploration Properties Business will be transferred to the Company.

As of the date of the carve-out statements, the Company has acquired an interest in several greenfield gold exploration properties located in the Mazaruni Mining District of Guyana, but has not yet incurred exploration expenditures related to these properties. The Company is in the process of considering appropriate programs for the Exploration Properties Business.

Selected Financial Information

The Company's financial information in the table below is prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Carve Out Loss and
Comprehensive Loss

February 9, 2024-
March 31, 2024 Nil 39,563 589,749

The Company reported a comprehensive loss of \$39,563 for the Review Period.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses of \$39,563 for the Review Period consisted of labor costs of \$30,372, professional fees of \$2,409 and administrative costs of \$6,782.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at March 31, 2024, the Company had cash of nil and no current liabilities. The Company's liquidity is dependent upon the successful completion of the Arrangement described above.

Upon closing the Arrangement, the Company intends to utilize the \$15,000,000 to be received on closing as follows:

Principal Purpose Estimated
Amount
Exploration and development \$3,500,000(1)
Project generation and acquisitions \$1,400,000(2)
General and administrative \$2,100,000(3)
Unallocated \$8,000,000
\$15,000,000
  • (1) Estimated exploration and development expenses for the 12 months following completion of the Arrangement.
  • (2) This amount represents project generation, due diligence and acquisition costs.
  • (3) Estimated general and administrative expenses, professional fees and other corporate costs for the 12 months following completion of the Arrangement, comprised of wages and employment benefits (\$1,100,000), rent and office related costs (\$350,000), investor relations, listing and filing fees (\$350,000) and professional and advisory fees (\$300,000).

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of the date of this filing, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company including, without limitation, such considerations as liquidity and capital resources that have not previously been discussed.

Proposed Transaction

As of the date of this document, the Arrangement described above has not been completed. Other than the Arrangement and the transactions proposed to be completed in connection therewith there are no additional proposed transactions as at the date of this document.

The Company will apply to the TSX-V for listing of the Company's shares on the TSX-V. Upon completion of the Arrangement and satisfaction of all of the outstanding listing requirements of the TSX-V, management of the Company anticipates that the Company will be a publicly traded junior mineral exploration company, with a portfolio of exploration properties in Guyana and Suriname, as well as an experienced board of directors and management team and, in the view of its management, capitalization sufficient to achieve its business objectives in the near term.

In order to become effective, the Arrangement must be approved by, among other things, resolutions passed by at least a two- thirds majority of the votes cast in favour of the Arrangement by existing shareholders of Reunion Gold and GMIN present in person or represented by proxy at special meetings expected to be held on July 9, 2024. The Arrangement must also be approved by the Court, which will consider the fairness of the Arrangement to Reunion Gold's existing shareholders. In addition, completion of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement are subject to customary closing conditions, all of which are described in the Circular. See in the Circular "Summary of Material Agreements – Conditions Precedent to the Consummation of the Arrangement".

Related Party Transactions

Related parties include the Board of Directors and management, close family and enterprises that are controlled by these individuals as well as certain persons performing similar functions. As at the date of this document, the Company is Reunion Gold's wholly-owned subsidiary and the directors and officers of the Company are also officers of Reunion Gold.

The Arrangement provides that the Company has agreed to indemnify Reunion Gold, GMIN and their subsidiaries (each an "Indemnified Party") from all losses suffered or incurred by an Indemnified Party as a result of or arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with an Indemnified Liability (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement). The Company will remain liable under this indemnity for three years following the Effective Date (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement) or until 30 days after the expiration of the relevant statutory limitation period in respect of claims for taxes. Because of the Company's limited financial resources, any requirement to indemnify under these provisions could have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to carry out its business plan.

Risk Factors

An investment in the securities of the Company is highly speculative and involves numerous and significant risks. Such investment should be undertaken only by investors whose financial resources are sufficient to

enable them to assume these risks and who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risk factors that have affected, and which in the future are reasonably expected to affect, the Company and its financial position.

The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk (including interest rate, and commodity and equity price risk).

Risk management is carried out by the Company's management team with guidance from the Audit Committee under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also provides regular guidance for overall risk management.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty's inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk.

Liquidity Risk

The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at March 31, 2024, the Company had cash of nil and no current liabilities. The Company's liquidity is dependent upon successful completion of the Arrangement described previously.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates and commodity and equity prices.

  • (i) At March 31, 2024, the Company had no cash balances and no interest-bearing debt and was not exposed to interest rate risk.
  • (ii) Accounts payable and other liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost and approximate their fair market value.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company does not have any significant assets in currency other than the functional currency of the Company, nor has significant foreign currency denominated liabilities, therefore any changes in foreign exchange rates will not give rise to significant changes to the net loss.

Current Market Trends

The Company's financial success will depend upon the extent to which it can discover mineralization and the economic viability of the development of its properties. Such development may take years to complete, and the resulting income, if any, is difficult to determine with any certainty. The sales value of any mineralization discovered by the Company will be largely dependent upon factors beyond the Company's control, such as the market value of the commodities produced.

There are significant uncertainties regarding the price of minerals and the availability of equity financing for mineral exploration and development. The Company's future performance is largely tied to the development of its current mineral property interests and the overall financial markets. Financial markets are likely to be volatile in Canada well into 2024, reflecting ongoing concerns about the stability of the global economy.

As a result, the Company may have difficulties raising equity financing for mineral exploration and development, particularly without excessively diluting shareholders. Continued market volatility and slower worldwide economic growth may limit the Company's ability to develop and/or further explore the Majorodam Project, the other Company properties and/or other property interests acquired in the future.

Dependence on Key Employees

Exploration of the Company's projects will be dependent on the efforts of the Company's employees and contractors. Changes in the relationship between the Company and its employees or contractors may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

The Company will be also dependent upon key management personnel. The loss of the services of one or more of such key management personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company's ability to manage its exploration and financing activities will depend in large part on the efforts of these individuals. The Company faces significant competition for qualified personnel and the Company may not be able to attract and retain such personnel.

Future Accounting Pronouncements

There are no relevant changes in accounting standards applicable to future periods other than as disclosed in the Company's accompanying carve-out financial statements for the Review Period.

Financial Instruments

The Company has no financial instruments as at March 31, 2024 and has limited financial risk exposure at this time.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of these carve-out financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the carveout financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These carve-out financial statements include estimates that, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the carve-out financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Significant assumptions about the future that management has made that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

• Going concern presentation of the carve-out financial statements which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they come due.

Subsequent Events

On May 20, 2024, Reunion Gold entered into an option agreement with Stargold Suriname N.V. ("Stargold"), a privately held company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Suriname, entitling the Company to conduct exploration activities and acquire all the rights, title and interest in the Majorodam gold project (the "Majorodam Project") for a period of up to 12 years. The terms of the option agreement are described in the Description of Business section. Reunion Gold paid an amount of \$203,250 (US\$150,000) to Stargold as initial consideration.

Subsequent to March 31, 2024, Abuya entered into two other letter agreements entitling it to acquire an interest in mineral rights located in the Cuyuni and Mazaruni Mining Districts of Guyana. These agreements are subject to completion of due diligence and execution of definitive agreements. Total initial payments made to secure an exclusivity period was \$205,960 (US\$152,000).

Capital Management

The Company manages its capital with the following objectives:

  • to ensure sufficient financial flexibility to achieve the ongoing business objectives including funding of future growth opportunities, and pursuit of accretive acquisitions;
  • to increase the value of the entity's assets; and
  • to maximize shareholder returns.

The Company monitors its capital structure and makes adjustments according to market conditions in an effort to meet its objectives given the current outlook of the business and industry in general. The Company may manage its capital structure by issuing new shares, adjusting capital and other spending, or disposing of assets. The capital structure is reviewed by management and the Board of Directors on an ongoing basis. The Company's ability to continue to carry out its planned exploration activities is uncertain and dependent upon securing additional financing.

At March 31, 2024, the Company considers its capital to be equivalent to Abuya's shareholder's equity which totaled \$590,000.

The Company manages capital through its financial and operational forecasting processes. The Company reviews its working capital and forecasts its future cash flows based on operating expenditures, and other investing and financing activities. The forecast is updated based on activities related to its mineral properties.

The Company is not subject to any capital requirements imposed by a lending institution.

RATIFICATION OF AMENDMENTS TO GMIN'S BY-LAWS

At a meeting held on August 28, 2023, the GMIN Board adopted resolutions approving several amendments to GMIN's bylaws. The full text of the GMIN Amended By-Laws is attached as "Appendix M-5 – GMIN Annual General Meeting – GMIN Amended By-laws" to the Circular, which amendments are indicated by underlining and include:

  • the addition of the lead director as a substitute chair for shareholders' meetings (article 3.4);
  • adjustments to quorum requirements for shareholders' meetings (article 3.5); and
  • the addition of provisions requiring advance notice for shareholder proposals of nominees for election as directors.

The amendment to the quorum requirement was made in order to increase the quorum for a shareholders' meeting to a level that ensures that a broad range of GMIN Shareholders are represented while at the same time ensuring that GMIN is not prevented from transacting necessary business, thereby aligning GMIN with best practices on this matter.

The addition of an advance notice requirement for director nominations by GMIN Shareholders was made in order to provide for a procedure by which shareholders may exercise their rights to nominate directors in a manner which allows for a fullyinformed vote on the nominee.

The GMIN Board has determined that the GMIN Amended By-Laws, as summarized above and attached as "Appendix M-5 – GMIN Annual General Meeting – GMIN Amended By-laws" to the Circular, are in the best interests of GMIN and the GMIN Shareholders. Consequently, the GMIN Board recommends that the GMIN Amended By-Laws be ratified. To be validly adopted, the GMIN Annual Resolutions Shareholder Approval must be obtained with respect to the following resolution:

"BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

    1. the amended By-laws of GMIN, the full text of which is attached as Appendix M-5 to this Circular, is hereby ratified, approved and confirmed; and
    1. any one director or officer of GMIN is hereby authorized and directed, acting for, in the name of and on behalf of GMIN, to execute or cause to be executed, and to deliver or cause to be delivered, such other documents and instruments, and to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may in the opinion of such director or officer of GMIN be necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of the foregoing resolutions, the execution of any such document or the doing of any such other act or thing by any director or officer of GMIN being conclusive evidence of such determination, provided such actions are carried out within the limit of the law."

Unless otherwise directed, it is management's intention to vote in favour of the ratification of the GMIN Amended By-Laws. If you return a signed proxy form or voting instruction form and do not specify how you want your GMIN Shares voted, the persons named as proxyholders will cast the votes represented by your proxy at the GMIN Meeting in favour of the ratification of the GMIN Amended By-Laws.

MAJORITY VOTE

On August 31, 2022, new provisions of the CBCA came into effect introducing a statutory majority voting requirement for uncontested director elections, meaning elections where there is only one candidate nominated for each position available on the GMIN Board, as determined by the GMIN Board. Under the CBCA amendments, GMIN Shareholders are allowed to vote "for" or "against" (as opposed to "for" and "withhold") each director nominee. If a nominated director does not receive a majority of the votes cast for his or her election, such nominated director will not be elected, provided that in the case of an incumbent director who is not elected, such director may continue in office until the earlier of: (i) the 90th day after the election; and (ii) the day on which his or her successor is appointed or elected.

In addition, the GMIN Board is prohibited from appointing or re-appointing, as the case may be, any director nominee that failed to be elected except in limited circumstances to ensure that the GMIN Board is composed of the number of Canadian residents or the number of directors who are not officers or employees of GMIN as is required by the CBCA. Any director nominee that fails to be elected may be nominated again at the next meeting of shareholders at which there is an election of directors.

CEASE TRADE ORDER, BANKRUPTCIES, PENALTIES AND SANCTIONS

To the knowledge of the members of the GMIN Board and based on the information provided by the director nominees, except as set forth below, none of these nominees:

(a) is, as at the date of this Circular, or has been, within ten years before such date, a director, a CEO or a CFO of any corporation, including GMIN, which has been subject to one of the following orders:

  • (i) a cease trade order, an order similar to a cease trade order or an order that denied the relevant corporation access to any exemption under securities legislation, that was in effect for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, while the nominee was acting in the capacity as director, CEO or CFO; or
  • (ii) a cease trade order, an order similar to a cease trade order or an order that denied the relevant corporation access to any exemption under securities legislation, that was in effect for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, after the nominee ceased to be a director, CEO or CFO and which resulted from an event that occurred while the nominee exercised these duties; or
  • (b) is, as at the date of this Circular, or has been within ten years before such date, a director or executive officer of any corporation, including GMIN, that, while that nominee was acting in that capacity, or within a year of that nominee ceasing to act in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets; or
  • (c) has, within the ten years before the date of this Circular, become bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or become subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors, or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold the assets of the nominee; or
  • (d) has been imposed any penalties or sanctions by a court pursuant to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority or has entered into a settlement agreement with a securities regulatory authority or has been imposed any penalties or sanctions by a court or a regulatory body that would likely be considered important to a reasonable securityholder in deciding whether to vote for a nominee for directorship.

As an exception to the above, under a settlement agreement dated November 30, 2017, Louis Gignac Sr. resolved concerns of the AMF regarding a trade in shares of another issuer made in 2015. The AMF and Mr. Gignac agreed in the settlement agreement that Mr. Gignac traded shares in error while in possession of privileged information, as defined in the Securities Act (Québec). The AMF and Mr. Gignac agreed that Mr. Gignac self-reported his trading to the AMF, fully cooperated with the AMF and that Mr. Gignac had no intention of trading with privileged information. Mr. Gignac agreed to pay an administrative fine of \$94,369 under section 204 of the Securities Act (Québec) to fully resolve the matter.

INTERESTS OF INFORMED PERSONS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

On January 26, 2021, GMIN entered into the GMIN MSA with GMS, a related party with two common directors: (i) Louis Gignac Sr., Chairman of the GMIN Board and Chairman of the board of directors of GMS, and (ii) Louis-Pierre Gignac, President and CEO of GMIN and a director of GMS. In addition to formalizing the business relationship pursuant to which GMIN has access to a wide range of services provided by GMS on an as-needed basis and on Arm's Length terms, the GMIN MSA provides for proper governance with respect to related party transactions.

The conclusion of the GMIN MSA, the contract for basic services entered into in connection therewith, the TZ Contract No. 1 and the TZ Contract No. 2 were each approved by the GMIN A&R Committee, the business relationship between GMIN and GMS being under such committee's purview.

In connection with the GMIN MSA, on January 1, 2021, GMIN entered into a contract for basic services with GMS, mainly with respect to support provided by GMS for due diligence activities, exploration work and various technical assessments and reviews. In addition, also in connection with the GMIN MSA, GMIN entered into the TZ Contract No. 1 (for which GMS' services thereunder, which were focused on assisting GMIN with the GMIN Technical Report, were completed and the TZ Contract No. 1 was terminated), and the TZ Contract No. 2.

The GMIN Board also adopted, on January 26, 2021, formal guidelines regarding the business relationship and approval process for the GMIN MSA between GMS and GMIN. These guidelines confirm that the GMIN Board has mandated the GMIN A&R Committee to oversee all matters relating to the performance of the GMIN MSA by GMIN and the business relationship of GMIN with GMS in order to appropriately address any actual or perceived conflicts of interest, or potential conflicts of interest, and any risks which may arise from such relationship, with a view to ensuring that (i) GMIN adheres to proper governance practices in all respects in relation to the GMIN MSA, and (ii) GMIN is, at all times, compliant with applicable Laws, including applicable Canadian Securities Laws and the rules and policies of the TSX (and those of the TSX-V prior to January 11, 2024).

SKILLS MATRIX

At its meeting held on December 22, 2022, the GMIN Board, following a recommendation of the GMIN ESG Committee made on same day, resolved to approve the skills matrix outlined below. This matrix identifies the professional skills, expertise and qualifications of the nominated directors and is to be reviewed by the GMIN ESG Committee annually to ensure that GMIN achieves its main objectives in the selection and nomination of its directors, being to form an effectively functioning GMIN Board with a diversity of views and business experience. Descriptions of relevant elements are provided in the table immediately below the matrix.

Accordingly, that matrix was reviewed by the GMIN ESG Committee at its meeting held on November 23, 2023, which determined that such matrix remains appropriate and is expected to continue to achieve the above-mentioned objectives. The GMIN ESG Committee then recommended to the GMIN Board that the below matrix should be maintained in force and effect, unamended, and the GMIN Board agreed with such recommendation.

APPENDIX M-3 GMIN ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING – NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

On September 23, 2021, the GMIN Board approved a change of the year-end of GMIN from October 31 to December 31, such that 2021 financial year for GMIN was a 14-month period ended December 31, 2021. Compensation figures presented herein for the 2021 financial year take such change into account.

While the GMIN Shares have been listed on the TSX since January 11, 2024, the GMIN Shares were listed on the TSX-V for the whole of the 2023 calendar year (including December 31). Accordingly, as prescribed by the applicable Canadian Securities Laws, the information set forth below presents the information prescribed for issuers whose shares are listed on the TSX-V.

NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

The Named Executive Officers ("NEOs") for the purposes hereof are:

  • Louis-Pierre Gignac, the current CEO who was appointed to such position as of November 25, 2020;
  • Julie Lafleur, the current CFO who was appointed to such position as of December 15, 2020;
  • Dušan Petković, the current Senior Vice President, Corporate Strategy of GMIN who was appointed to such position as of January 24, 2023 and who was Vice President, Corporate, Development & Investor Relations from April 6, 2021 to January 24, 2023;
  • Marc Dagenais, the current Vice President, Legal Affairs & Corporate Secretary of GMIN who was appointed to such position as of December 15, 2020; and
  • Julie-Anaïs Debreil, the current Vice President, Geology & Resources of GMIN who was appointed to such position as of September 7, 2022.

OVERSIGHT AND DESCRIPTION OF DIRECTORS' AND NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS' COMPENSATION

On December 15, 2020, the GMIN Board established the GMIN Remuneration Committee (now designated as the GMIN HR Committee) which is comprised entirely of independent directors and is responsible, inter alia, for thoroughly analyzing and making recommendations to the GMIN Board pertaining to the compensation of the directors and the NEOs. The GMIN Remuneration Committee's mandate was expanded pursuant to resolutions of the GMIN Board adopted at its meeting held on February 8, 2024, to cover matters related to executive development, succession planning and human resources generally.

The GMIN Board ultimately establishes the compensation of the directors and the NEOs, with the CEO abstaining from discussing and voting as director on any GMIN Board resolutions relating to his own compensation (including base salary and annual adjustments thereto) as President and CEO.

The compensation of the NEOs has been established with a view to attracting and retaining persons critical to GMIN's shortand long-term success and to continuing to provide to such persons with compensation that is in accordance with existing market standards generally, having regard for GMIN's stage of development at the time such compensation is determined. The GMIN Board believes that, overall, the executive compensation is balanced to avoid the potential risk of maximizing compensation without regard for the risks assumed by GMIN (including the fact that GMIN has yet to generate revenue on a commercial basis).

Through its compensation practices, GMIN seeks to provide value to the GMIN Shareholders through a strong executive leadership. Specifically, the NEOs' compensation structure seeks to:

  • (i) attract and retain talented and experienced executives necessary to achieve GMIN's strategic objectives;
  • (ii) motivate and reward NEOs whose knowledge, skills and performance are critical to GMIN's success;

  • (iii) align the interests of the NEOs and the GMIN Shareholders by motivating NEOs to increase shareholder value; and

  • (iv) provide a competitive compensation package in which a significant portion of total compensation is determined by corporate and individual results, the creation of shareholder value and the creation of a shared commitment among NEOs by coordinating their corporate and individual goals.

Within the context of the overall objectives of GMIN's compensation practices and having regard for its current stage of development, GMIN determined the specific amounts of compensation to be paid to each of its NEO based on a number of factors, including mainly:

  • A. GMIN's understanding of the amount of compensation generally paid by companies in the mining industry and companies transforming natural resources using high technology processes, to their own NEOs with similar roles and responsibilities;
  • B. the performance of each NEO during the financial year as measured against corporate and individual performance criteria;
  • C. the roles and responsibilities of each NEO, having regard for GMIN's overall development context (i.e., acquisition in 2021 of its first significant development project, completion of the GMIN Technical Report later in 2021 in respect thereof, completion of project financing and construction decision for that project in the second half of 2022; construction and pre-production activities at such project during 2023; commissioning of such project this year to achieve commercial production in the second half of 2024; all such steps having been in track with the GMIN Technical Report's timeline and budget, so far);
  • D. the individual experience and skills of, and expected contributions from, each NEO, having regard for GMIN's stage of development at the time compensation is determined, and its overall outlook; and
  • E. the amounts of compensation being paid to the other NEOs.

GMIN's approach is to pay its NEOs a base salary that is competitive with those of other executive officers in similar companies while taking into account its stage of development at the time compensation is determined. GMIN believes that a competitive base salary is a necessary element of any compensation program that is designed to attract and retain talented and experienced executives. GMIN also believes that attractive base salaries can motivate and reward NEOs for their overall performance. The base salary of each NEO is reviewed annually, and it may be adjusted in accordance with the market conditions or the terms of such NEO's employment agreement.

GMIN has entered into written employment agreements with the Named Executive Officers. The base salaries of the Named Executive Officers were determined by resolutions adopted by the GMIN Board which were based on its understanding of base salaries for comparable positions at similarly situated companies at the time.

Base salaries were based on the experience and skills of, and expected contribution from, each NEO, his/her role and responsibilities and other factors. Evaluations of base salary and annual adjustments, if any, to the base salary of each NEO are analyzed within the context of the terms and conditions of the employment agreements entered into between GMIN and each of the latter. Base salaries and annual adjustments thereto are approved by the GMIN Board.

Annual Cash Incentive Bonuses

GMIN has established the GMIN STIP for the financial year ended December 31, 2023. Under their respective employment terms and the GMIN STIP, each NEO was eligible to receive an annual cash incentive bonus in an amount calculated on the basis of the target percentage of his/her base salary up to a maximum specified percentage, based on his/her performance and attainment of objectives, and subject to GMIN's financial situation. The specific percentages are as follows:

GMIN STIP Range GMIN STIP Target
President & CEO 0-125% 100%
Vice President, Finance & CFO 0-70% 50%
Senior Vice President, Corporate Strategy 0-125% 100%
Vice President, Legal Affairs & Corporate Secretary 0-70% 50%
Vice President, Geology & Resources 0-70% 50%

Overall, the primary objective of GMIN's bonus payments is to motivate and reward its NEOs for meeting GMIN's short-term objectives using performance-based compensation guidelines with objectively determinable goals. Typically, under the GMIN STIP, bonuses are primarily based upon:

A. the performance and accomplishments of each NEO individually; and

B. GMIN's performance.

Under the GMIN STIP adopted for the financial year ended December 31, 2023, NEOs were evaluated with respect to the achievement of the key corporate objectives and their respective specific individual objectives, according to the following weighting:

Corporate
Objectives
Individual
Objectives
CEO 80% 20%
Other NEOs 65% 35%

There were bonuses paid to the NEOs during the financial year ended December 31, 2023. For additional information, see "Appendix M-3 – Summary Compensation Table – Named Executive Officers" attached to the Circular. The individual component of each NEO's bonus was determined by such individual's performance and accomplishments during 2023, as approved by the GMIN Board (following analysis, review and recommendation of the GMIN HR Committee) and as set forth hereinbelow:

President & CEO Objectives

  • Provide TZ Project oversight and have significant presence on site with objective of keeping project on time and on budget;

  • Support geology due diligence of potential acquisitions and complete assessment of non-core claims and projects (Cameron Lake); and
  • Develop skills and competencies of local geology team.

The corporate component of each NEO's bonus was based on GMIN's performance and accomplishments during the financial year ended December 31, 2023. Upon recommendation of the GMIN HR Committee, the GMIN Board has decided that the achievement of two of the key objectives related to TZ Project asset development (see the table below) would be assessed after project completion and, accordingly, the determination thereof is deferred until the second half of 2024. As a result, the assessment of the 2023 corporate objectives, as approved by the GMIN Board (following analysis, review and recommendation of the GMIN HR Committee), is set forth below:

Corporate Objectives Allocation (%) Achievement (%)

Pension Plan Benefits

GMIN does not offer any pension plan benefits to any of its directors and officers.

Equity-Based Compensation

All capitalized terms in this section not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the applicable GMIN Incentive Plan.

GMIN Option Plan

Up until November 24, 2022, the only equity compensation plan of GMIN was the GMIN Option Plan, which had been initially approved by the GMIN Shareholders on December 19, 2019, and renewed on December 15, 2020. An updated version of the GMIN Option Plan was approved by the GMIN Shareholders on May 13, 2022. GMIN Shareholders may obtain copies of the GMIN Option Plan from GMIN prior to the GMIN Meeting on written request. The following is a summary of its material terms:

The GMIN Options are non-assignable and non-transferable (except that the Optionee's heirs or administrators can exercise any portion of the outstanding GMIN Option, up to one year from the Optionee's death). The number of GMIN Shares subject to each GMIN Option is determined by the GMIN Board provided that the Updated Plan, together with all other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements, may not:

  • during any 12-month period, result in:
  • the number of GMIN Options granted to Insiders (as a group) exceeding 10% of the issued GMIN Shares; or
  • the number of GMIN Options granted to any one person exceeding 5% of the issued GMIN Shares; or
  • the number of GMIN Options granted to any one Consultant exceeding 2% of the issued GMIN Shares; or
  • the number of GMIN Options granted to all Persons retained to provide Investor Relations Activities exceeding 2% of the issued GMIN Shares; or
  • result in the number of GMIN Options granted to Insiders (as a group) exceeding 10% of the issued GMIN Shares.

The exercise price of an GMIN Option may not be set at less than the Discounted Market Price. The GMIN Options may be exercisable for a period of up to 10 years, subject to extension where the expiry date falls within a "blackout period". Any GMIN Options granted to an optionee who is an employee, officer, director or consultant shall expire on the one-year anniversary of such GMIN option holder ceasing to be employed, to hold office or to provide consulting services.

Disinterested shareholder approval will be obtained for any reduction in the exercise price if the Optionee is an Insider of GMIN at the time of the proposed amendment. All outstanding GMIN Options granted under the GMIN Option Plan (and its predecessor plans) continue to be outstanding subject to the terms of the GMIN Option Plan (and its predecessor plans) and shall remain in force in accordance with their existing terms.

GMIN Omnibus Plan

At its November 24, 2022 meeting, the GMIN Board approved the GMIN Omnibus Plan, which was approved by GMIN Shareholders at the shareholders' meeting held June 6, 2023. The following paragraphs summarize its main terms and conditions. GMIN Shareholders may also obtain copies of the GMIN Omnibus Plan from GMIN prior to the GMIN Meeting on written request.

The GMIN Omnibus Plan was intended to replace the GMIN Option Plan, because the GMIN Board was of the view that it is desirable to have a wider range of incentive awards available for grant than solely the GMIN Options available under the GMIN Option Plan, including GMIN RSUs, GMIN DSUs, PSUs, SARs and the GMIN Options contemplated thereunder, in order to be better able to attract, retain and motivate directors, officers, employees and consultants of GMIN and its subsidiaries.

The Plan is a "rolling" plan pursuant to which the number of GMIN Shares that are issuable pursuant to the exercise of awards granted thereunder or under any other security-based compensation plan of GMIN shall not exceed 7.5% of the issued and outstanding GMIN Shares as at the date of any award grant.

To the extent any awards under the GMIN Omnibus Plan terminate or are cancelled for any reason prior to exercise, then any GMIN Shares subject to such awards (or portion(s) thereof) shall be added back to the number of GMIN Shares reserved for issuance under the GMIN Omnibus Plan and will again become available for issuance pursuant to the exercise of awards granted under the GMIN Omnibus Plan.

Except as specifically provided therein, participants under the GMIN Omnibus Plan will not have any rights as a holder of any GMIN Shares covered by an award, including the right to vote or to receive dividends or other distributions on the GMIN Shares. GMIN Shares will not be deemed to have been issued pursuant to the GMIN Omnibus Plan with respect to any portion of an award (other than for GMIN Options) that is settled in cash.

The GMIN Omnibus Plan provides for customary adjustments or substitutions, as applicable, in the number of GMIN Shares that may be issued under the GMIN Omnibus Plan in the event of a change in the capital of GMIN, including a stock split or consolidation, combination or exchange of shares, merger, amalgamation, spin-off or other special distribution (other than distributions or cash dividends in the ordinary course) of GMIN's assets to GMIN Shareholders. The GMIN Omnibus Plan also provides, with respect to GMIN DSUs, PSUs and GMIN RSUs, for the payment of dividend equivalents in the amount that a participant would have received if GMIN DSUs, PSUs and GMIN RSUs had settled for GMIN Shares on the record date of dividends declared by GMIN provided that if the number of securities issued as dividend equivalents, together with all of GMIN's other share-based compensation, would exceed 7.5% of issued GMIN Shares then such dividend equivalents will be paid in cash.

Plan Administration

The GMIN Omnibus Plan is administered by the GMIN Board, which may delegate its authority to any duly authorized committee of the GMIN Board. Except as otherwise provided in the GMIN Omnibus Plan, the committee in question has sole and absolute discretion and authority to administer and interpret the GMIN Omnibus Plan, the award agreements and the awards, including:

  • (a) to determine the Eligible Persons to whom awards may be granted under the GMIN Omnibus Plan;
  • (b) to grant awards under the GMIN Omnibus Plan and determine their terms, including:
  • (i) the number of awards to be granted;
  • (ii) the timing of grants, including the date of grant;
  • (iii) the exercise price of the GMIN Options;
  • (iv) the performance goals, performance measures, performance periods and performance vesting conditions;
  • (v) restrictions on transfer;
  • (vi) any other vesting schedule, terms, limitations, restrictions and conditions applicable to awards;
  • (vii) the form of any award agreement (not inconsistent with the GMIN Omnibus Plan) to evidence an award; and

  • (viii) the waiver or amendment of any terms of awards, including accelerating the vesting of any awards, changing the performance vesting conditions or, subject to the approval of the TSX where required, substituting other property on the payment or settlement of any awards;

  • (c) to establish, amend and rescind any regulations, rules or guidelines relating to the GMIN Omnibus Plan; and
  • (d) to make any other determinations, settle any disputes or take any other action necessary or desirable for the administration of the GMIN Omnibus Plan or any award agreement or award.

Change of Control

If there is a change of control, the GMIN Board may take such actions as it may consider appropriate, including to (i) provide for the acceleration of any vesting or exercisability of an award; (ii) provide for the deemed attainment of performance vesting conditions relating to an award; (iii) provide for the lapse of restrictions relating to an award; (iv) provide for the assumption, substitution, replacement or continuation of any award by a successor or surviving corporation (or a GMIN or subsidiary thereof) with cash, securities, rights or other property to be paid or issued, as the case may be, by the successor or surviving corporation (or a GMIN or subsidiary thereof); (v) provide that an award shall terminate or expire unless exercised or settled in full on or before a date fixed by the GMIN Board; or (vi) permit the surrender of outstanding GMIN Options or provide for the termination of any other outstanding award in exchange for a cash payment (provided that, if as of the date of the change of control, the GMIN Board determines that no amount would have been realized upon the exercise or settlement of the award, then the award may be cancelled by GMIN without payment of consideration).

Incentive Awards

Options

Subject to the terms and conditions of the GMIN Omnibus Plan and any policies of the TSX, the GMIN Board may grant GMIN Options to participants in such amounts and upon such terms (including the exercise price, duration of the GMIN Options, the number of GMIN Shares to which the GMIN Option pertains, and the conditions, if any, upon which an Option shall become vested and exercisable) as the GMIN Board shall determine.

The exercise price of the GMIN Options will be determined by the GMIN Board at the time any GMIN Option is granted. In no event will such exercise price be lower than the fair market value as of that date. Upon exercise of any Option, the exercise price shall be payable to GMIN in full.

Unless otherwise specified in an award agreement, and subject to any provisions of the GMIN Option Plan or the applicable award agreement relating to acceleration of vesting of the GMIN Options, the GMIN Options shall vest subject to TSX policies, and the GMIN Board may, in its sole discretion, determine the time during which an Option shall vest and the method of vesting, or that no vesting restriction shall exist.

Subject to any requirements of the TSX, the GMIN Board may determine the expiry date of each GMIN Option. Subject to a limited extension if an Option expires during a "black out period", GMIN Options may be exercised for a period of up to ten (10) years after the grant date.

Share Units

The GMIN Board is authorized to grant GMIN RSUs, PSUs and GMIN DSUs evidencing the right to receive GMIN Shares (issued from treasury), cash based on the value of a GMIN Share or a combination thereof at some future time to eligible persons under the GMIN Omnibus Plan.

GMIN RSUs generally become vested, if at all, following a period of continuous employment, which may not be more than three years after the date of grant unless specified otherwise in the participant's award agreement. PSUs are similar to GMIN RSUs, but their vesting is, in whole or in part, conditioned on the attainment of specified performance metrics as may be determined by the GMIN Board.

The terms and conditions of grants of GMIN RSUs and PSUs, including the quantity, type of award, grant date, vesting conditions, vesting periods, settlement date and other terms and conditions with respect to these awards will be set forth in

the participant's award agreement. The GMIN Board will determine the performance period applicable to a PSU, but in no event may it be more than three years after the date of grant unless specified otherwise in the participant's award agreement.

Subject to the achievement of the applicable vesting conditions, the payout of an GMIN RSU or PSU will generally occur on the settlement date. The payout of a GMIN DSU will generally occur upon or following the participant ceasing to be a director, officer or employee of GMIN or any of its subsidiaries, subject to satisfaction of any applicable conditions.

Share Appreciation Rights

The GMIN Board is authorized to grant SARs in conjunction with the granting of GMIN Options, or on a stand-alone basis, to any participant under the GMIN Omnibus Plan. The vesting terms of the SAR are set forth in the participant's award agreement. Upon the exercise of a SAR, a participant will be entitled to receive from GMIN a cash payment equal to the Inthe-Money Amount, less any applicable withholding taxes. The In-the-Money Amount is equal to the product of (i) the amount by which the Fair Market Value (as defined in the GMIN Omnibus Plan) of the GMIN Shares on the date a SAR is exercised or settled exceeds the SAR Base Amount (as defined in the GMIN Omnibus Plan), and (ii) the number of GMIN Shares under the GMIN Options to which the SARs relate, or specified in the participant's award agreement in the case of SARs granted on a standalone basis without reference to GMIN Options.

GMIN, in its discretion, instead of making a cash payment, may issue or deliver to the participant that number of GMIN Shares equal to the In-The-Money Amount, subject to satisfaction of any obligations in respect of applicable withholding taxes.

Termination of Employment

Upon a participant's termination for cause, all awards, whether vested or not, as at the date on which a participant ceases to be eligible to participate under the GMIN Omnibus Plan as a result of termination of employment, will automatically terminate and the participant will cease to have any rights in relation to those awards.

Upon a participant's termination without cause or voluntary resignation, (i) any unvested awards held by the participant on the Termination Date will automatically terminate on the Termination Date and the participant will cease to have any rights in relation to those awards; (ii) any vested GMIN Options will continue to be subject to the GMIN Omnibus Plan and be exercisable for a period equal to the lesser of (a) 60 days after the Termination Date and (b) the remaining term of the GMIN Options; and (iii) any vested PSUs, GMIN RSUs or other awards (other than GMIN Options) held by the participant on the Termination Date will be settled by GMIN as soon as practicable after the Termination Date in accordance with the GMIN Omnibus Plan.

Upon the death or disability of a participant, (i) all unvested PSUs, GMIN RSUs or other awards (other than GMIN Options) held by the participant on the Termination Date will vest on a proportionate basis; (ii) any unvested GMIN Options will automatically vest on the Termination Date; (iii) the Option Expiry Date (as defined in the GMIN Omnibus Plan) of vested GMIN Options (including automatically vested GMIN Options) will be the earlier of (a) the date specified in the applicable Option Agreement and (b) the date that is one year after the Termination Date; and (iv) any vested PSUs, GMIN RSUs or other awards (other than GMIN Options) held by the participant on the Termination Date will be settled by GMIN as soon as practicable after the Termination Date in accordance with the GMIN Omnibus Plan.

Parameters for Granting Equity-Based Incentives to NEOs

GMIN's granting of equity-based incentives to NEOs under the GMIN Option Plan and the GMIN Omnibus Plan is a method of compensation which is used to attract and retain personnel, provide an incentive to participate in the long-term development of GMIN and to increase shareholder value. The relative emphasis of equity-based incentives for compensating NEOs will generally vary based on the position held, the global compensation and comparisons with industry peers. GMIN generally expects that future grants of equity-based awards should be based on the following factors:

  • i. the terms and conditions of the employment agreements of NEOs;
  • ii. each NEO's past performance;
  • iii. each NEO's anticipated future contribution;

  • iv. the prior GMIN Options grants to each NEO;

  • v. the percentage of equity owned by each NEO;
  • vi. the level of vested and unvested GMIN Options held by each NEO; and
  • vii. the market practices (as they evolve over time) and each NEO's respective responsibilities and performance.

GMIN has not set specific target levels for the granting of GMIN Options to NEOs but seeks to be competitive with similar companies in its industry.

Compensation Governance

The GMIN Board has the responsibility for determining compensation for the NEOs and other senior executives of GMIN. On December 15, 2020, the GMIN Board established the GMIN HR Committee, mandated to cover matters related to executive development, succession planning and human resources generally, as well as remuneration and compensation. The GMIN HR Committee is comprised entirely of independent directors responsible, inter alia, for establishing the compensation of the NEOs and making recommendations to the GMIN Board in respect of same and related matters. The current members of the GMIN HR Committee are Jason Neal, acting as Chairman of the GMIN HR Committee, David A. Fennell, Elif Lévesque, Norman MacDonald, Karim Nasr and Carlos Vilhena.

During the financial year ended December 31, 2023, to better determine future compensation payable, GMIN retained the services of WTW to review and benchmark compensation of GMIN's directors and officers, including the NEOs, for the first time since GMIN's incorporation. The benchmark was performed against companies of a similar size and stage of development in the mining industry.

The WTW report was tabled at the GMIN HR Committee meeting held on November 23, 2023, and discussed thereat. That GMIN HR Committee meeting was framed as providing the foundational analysis with respect to GMIN's compensation structure and led to the committee recommendations regarding 2023 GMIN STIP determinations, adjustments to salaries for 2024, GMIN STIP and long-term incentive targets as well as 2024 objectives, which recommendations were formulated at the GMIN HR Committee meeting held on December 22, 2023.

WTW was asked to develop a peer group of companies for the purpose of benchmarking GMIN's compensation and, to achieve that, WTW considered the following:

  • GMIN's rapid transformation;
  • the usefulness of benchmarking against the types of organizations that GMIN was in the process of becoming (specifically, while it had no revenue and was listed on the TSX-V, it was expected to become an operating producer listed on the TSX, as the TZ Project was advancing through construction);
  • the importance of understanding what the market pay levels are for the executive talent to lead the kind of organization that GMIN is anticipated to become; and
  • the importance of being careful not to compensate for growth that has not yet been realized.

WTW's approach to peer group selection was based on factors typically considered relevant in such selection process, including size / complexity, stage of development, industry / business operations, and geography – as follows:

Peer companies should be comparable in size and complexity to GMIN.
Size and Scope /
Complexity
Peer group screening focuses on market capitalization, total assets and revenue.
Rather than using GMIN's then current total assets and revenue, projected 2024 total assets and revenue (based on
consensus forecast by equity analysts at time of determination) were used as the basis for screening.
Stage of
Development
GMIN was compared to other TSX-listed companies.
GMIN could be compared to both production and exploration companies.
Industry / Business
Operations
Gold is the main industry classification, but other mining industry classifications have also been included (silver,
precious metals and diversified metals & mining).
Geography While GMIN's primary asset is located in Brazil, GMIN is headquartered in Québec and its market for executive
talent is primarily Canadian; accordingly, it is compared to Canadian-headquartered companies

Accordingly, compared to the group of 16 Canadian mining companies featured in the following table, GMIN ranked below the median based on market capitalization:

WTW's other component for the benchmarking exercise was to find, for each NEO, position matches based on job contents from proxy circulars of GMIN's peer group, and also from WTW's own 2023 Mining Executive Compensation Survey. Since the organizations that participate in such survey tend to be significantly larger than GMIN, in certain cases GMIN's incumbents have been matched to a comparable functional role one reporting level lower. The matches are outlined in the following table:

NEOs Benchmarks
Proxy Circular Data WTW Survey
President & CEO CEO -
Vice President, Finance & CFO CFO Finance Executive (second-level)
Senior Vice President, Corporate Strategy Top Strategy / Business Development Top Strategic Planning and Development
Executive
Vice President, Legal Affairs & Corporate
Secretary
- Associate General Counsel
Vice President, Geology & Resources - Chief Geologist

For the above table, the proxy circular data came from the peer group of companies and the companies that participated in the WTW's survey tend to be significantly larger than those in the peer group; they are: Vale S.A., Freeport-McMoRan Inc., Barrick Gold Corporation, Newmont Corporation, Teck Resources Limited, Kinross Gold Corporation, Lundin Mining Corporation, Pan American Silver Corp., Alamos Gold Inc., Capstone Copper Corp., Lithium Americas Corp., Dundee Precious Metals Inc., IAMGOLD Corporation and Coeur Mining, Inc.

Finally, WTW review focused on the elements of target total direct compensation as defined below:

Base Salary
Target Short-Term Incentives ("STI")
Value of annual incentive assuming target
performance
Target Total
Annual Compensation
("TTAC")
Target
Total Direct
Compensation
("TTDC")
Target Long-Term Incentives ("LTI")
The expected value of long-term awards

In light of the foregoing parameters, WTW's findings and observations can be summarized as follows:

  • base salaries of NEOs are below the 25th percentile, except for the Senior Vice President, Corporate Strategy, who is at the median;
  • as GMIN's STI targets (as a percentage of salary) tend to be aligned or above market for most NEOs, the positioning of NEOs on TTAC tends to about the same or higher than the positioning on salary, except for one NEO;
  • as regards TTDC:
  • one NEO is above the 25th percentile;
  • all other NEOs are below the 25th percentile, but within ⁓15% of the 25th percentile, except for the CEO and CFO;
  • LTI targets are below the 25th percentile for most NEOs;
  • GMIN's pay mix for the CEO is more heavily weighted toward short-term compensation than the market median; compared to the CEO, fixed compensation makes up a larger percentage of average NEO's TTDC (which aligns with market practice);
  • GMIN's overall target pay mix places slightly higher weight on variable compensation than on fixed pay (52% variable vs. 48% fixed); and
  • the proportion of pay that is variable in the market is noticeably higher than at GMIN (63% vs. 52%).

At its meeting held on November 23, 2023, the GMIN HR Committee reviewed and discussed WTW's findings and observations. In the course of that review, the GMIN HR Committee:

  • expressed its agreement with the peer group composition as well as WTW's findings and observations generally;
  • considered GMIN's overall performance compared to that of its peers in 2023;

  • considered the impending transition of GMIN from developer to producer; and

  • noted the importance of including both one-year and two-year out perspectives to determine 2024 compensation adjustments.

More particularly, the GMIN HR Committee agreed to recommend to the GMIN Board the deferral (likely to the third quarter of 2024) of the payment of a portion of the 2023 annual bonus, within corporate objectives as indicated in the below table, to align such partial payout with the TZ Project completion. The GMIN Board approved such deferral.

At its meeting held on December 21, 2023, the GMIN HR Committee received additional information from WTW that outlined the compensation changes for the positions of CEO and CFO of companies that went from development to production, which was derived from proxy circulars. At that meeting, the GMIN HR Committee considered WTW's findings in making its final recommendations to the GMIN Board for, inter alia, the compensation mix of each NEO (2023 bonus payouts and 2024 compensation), notably to increase:

• NEO salaries as follows for 2024:

Salary Increase
President & CEO 29%
Vice President, Finance & CFO 17.8%
Senior Vice President, Corporate Strategy 5.5%
Vice President, Legal Affairs & Corporate
Secretary
7.3%
Vice President, Geology & Resources 10.3%

• LTI targets as follows:

% of Base Salary –
2023
% of Base Salary –
2024
President & CEO 150 200
Vice President, Finance & CFO 75 110
Senior Vice President, Corporate Strategy 100 120
Vice President, Legal Affairs & Corporate
Secretary
50 75
Vice President, Geology & Resources 50 85

Such increases were approved with a view to start bringing GMIN's compensation structure closer to that of the peer group of companies (moving from below the 25th percentile towards the median, generally).

Executive Employment Agreements

An executive employment agreement was entered into between GMIN and each NEO, effective as of January 1, 2021, for Ms. Lafleur as well as Messrs. Gignac and Dagenais, effective as of April 6, 2021, for Mr. Petković (amended on January 24, 2023, to reflect his promotion and new position description), and effective as of September 5, 2022 for Ms. Debreil. Each such agreement contains the following main provisions:

  • (a) the full position description for each NEO as approved by the GMIN Board;
  • (b) each NEO's obligations to act in GMIN's best interests and to comply with its Code of Ethics & Business Conduct, and his/her work location;
  • (c) the compensation and benefits for each NEO (salary, vacations, GMIN STIP, GMIN Incentive Plan and eventual participation in any additional long-term incentive plan, reimbursement of professional fees and work-related out-of-pocket expenses);
  • (d) each NEO's obligation regarding confidential information and intellectual property of GMIN, as well as noncompetition and non-solicitation provisions for one year following termination;
  • (e) GMIN's entitlement to terminate at any time the employment of each NEO for serious reason (as defined therein);
  • (f) GMIN's entitlement to terminate at any time the employment of each NEO without serious reason; in such case, the terminated NEO will be entitled to receive the equivalent of 24 months of (i) base salary and (ii) the average GMIN STIP payment made in respect of the last two completed calendar years of employment (or otherwise the target GMIN STIP payment), except for Ms. Debreil who will be entitled to the equivalent of 12 months of base salary;
  • (g) each NEO's entitlement to resign, at any time, from his/her employment for any reason; in the event that such resignation occurs by reason of constructive dismissal, the terminated NEO will be entitled to receive the payments as provided under paragraph (f) above; and
  • (h) each NEO benefits from a collective insurance plan and is provided with a cellular telephone, a portable computer and any other equipment required to fulfill his/her duties and obligations.

In addition to the foregoing, each executive employment agreement includes provisions compensating the NEO in the event of a change of control, which aims to reaffirm the dedication of each of the NEOs and to set forth the respective rights and obligations of GMIN and the NEOs on the termination of employment of the NEOs subsequent to a change of control and within 12 months thereafter. If, upon a change of control or within 12 months thereafter, the NEO's employment is terminated (i) by GMIN other than for serious reason, or (ii) by the NEO in response to an improper change (e.g., a reduction of base salary or a series of changes in the responsibilities of the NEO, without his/her consent, such that they become of lesser importance), the following provisions shall apply:

  • (a) the payment of an amount equal to twice (i) his/her base salary and (ii) the average STIP payment made in respect of the last two completed calendar years of employment (or otherwise the target STIP payment); which, based on their current salary and bonus structure (using the target STIP), if triggered as of June 7, 2024, would result in the following (gross) payments being made: Mr. Gignac - \$1,445,565, Ms. Lafleur - \$732,180, Mr. Petković - \$1,150,666, Mr. Dagenais - \$730,539, and Ms. Debreil - \$603,700;
  • (b) the survival of his/her benefits (collective insurance) for the earlier of (i) a period of 12 months plus three months for each year of service, up to a maximum of 24 months following the employment termination, and (ii) the date on which the NEO commences employment with a new employer; and
  • (c) all GMIN Options held by the NEO shall vest and be immediately exercisable and remain exercisable for the balance of their original terms.

Directors' Compensation

The GMIN HR Committee is responsible for establishing the compensation to be paid to directors of GMIN and to make recommendations in that regard for approval by the GMIN Board. Directors are eligible to a cash retainer and grants of GMIN DSUs under the GMIN Omnibus Plan (see above, under "Stock Options and Other Compensation Securities"), which is the equity retainer. All directors are also entitled to be reimbursed for reasonable travel expenses incurred with respect to their attendance at meetings of the GMIN Board and of a committee of the GMIN Board. The cash fees earned by the directors who are not NEOs, during the year 2023, are set out in the table entitled "Table of Compensation excluding Compensation Securities" hereinabove.

As mentioned hereinabove, during the financial year ended December 31, 2023, WTW was retained to review and benchmark the compensation of GMIN's directors. For its review of directors' compensation, WTW used the same peer group of companies as it did for NEOs and its findings and observations can be summarized as follows:

  • GMIN's cash retainer and equity retainer for directors were both below the 25th percentile of the peer group;
  • combined with no meeting fees, GMIN's total board compensation was the second lowest in the peer group;
  • GMIN did not pay an additional retainer for committee membership while 80% of peers do;
  • the Chair retainer is below the 25th percentile for all committees;
  • the cash and equity retainers of the Chair of the GMIN Board are both below the 25th percentile, the combined retainer is the lowest of the peer group (market median is approximately 70% higher than GMIN); and
  • among the four peers that have a lead director role, the median total consideration is significantly higher than that of GMIN's Lead Director.

At its meeting held on November 23, 2023, the GMIN HR Committee reviewed and discussed WTW's findings and observations and, at its meeting held on December 21, 2023, it considered such findings in making its final recommendations to the GMIN Board for, inter alia, the compensation mix of directors, notably to increase the value of the equity retainer. Overall, remuneration terms for directors who are not NEOs was then approved as follows:

Indebtedness of Directors and Executive Officers

As of June 7, 2024, no executive officer (including any NEO), director, proposed nominee for election as a director, associate of any such persons, or employee, former or present, of GMIN was indebted to GMIN or to another entity where the indebtedness was subject to a guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or other similar arrangement or understanding provided by GMIN.

APPENDIX M-4 GMIN ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING – CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board Matters

After examining the relationships of each director, including their direct and indirect shareholdings in GMIN, and receiving the advice of legal counsel, the GMIN Board has determined that the following seven director nominees are independent as defined in Section 1.4 of NI 52-110:

David A. Fennell, Elif Lévesque, Norman MacDonald, Karim Nasr, Jason Neal, Carlos Vilhena and Sonia Zagury.

Board and Committee Charters

On December 15, 2020, the GMIN Board adopted a formal written charter describing its duties, responsibilities and role as well as its expectations of individual directors and of management. As the GMIN Board delegates certain of its responsibilities and duties to GMIN Board committees, each such committee has also adopted its own charter (which also outlines each committee's role, duties and responsibilities). All charters also provide details on the GMIN Board's or committee's proceedings (notices of meeting, quorum, minutes, etc.). Amendments were made to each charter on May 25, 20231, and updated copies thereof are available on GMIN's website, www.gminingventures.com, in the "Corporate Governance" section. The composition and meetings of the GMIN Board remain subject to the requirements set forth in the articles and by-laws of GMIN, as well as in applicable laws.

Position Descriptions

On December 15, 2020, the GMIN Board adopted formal written position descriptions for the Chairman of the GMIN Board, the Lead Director, the Chair of each GMIN Board committee, and the President & CEO. Amendments were made to each such position description on May 25, 2023, and updated copies thereof are available on GMIN's website, www.gminingventures.com, in the "Corporate Governance" section. Position descriptions were also adopted in respect of the following officers and are annexed to their respective executive employment agreement:

  • Vice President, Finance & CFO (adopted on January 26, 2021);

The GMIN Board encourages the directors to take relevant training programs offered by different regulatory bodies and gives them the opportunity to expand their knowledge about the nature and operations of GMIN. The GMIN Board is responsible for ensuring that directors have the opportunity to pursue continuing education. The GMIN Board believes that staying informed, building competencies and acquiring new knowledge is critical to enabling directors to effectively fulfill their role with GMIN.

Director's continuing education can also take the form of presentations on matters of general or specific interest with respect to the affairs of GMIN. These training sessions help directors understand GMIN's activities and strategic plan. In addition, each director periodically assesses his/her own professional development needs.

1The charter for the GMIN HR Committee was further amended on February 8, 2024, to expand its mandate, as mentioned hereinabove.

Ethical Business Conduct

On January 26, 2021, GMIN adopted and implemented a Code of Ethics & Business Conduct for directors, officers and employees of GMIN. Directors, officers and employees, in the performance of their respective duties and responsibilities, must at all times act with complete honesty and good faith, in the best interest of GMIN. They must also always act in accordance with applicable laws, regulations and policies. Amendments were made to the Code of Ethics & Business Conduct on August 28, 2023, and an updated copy thereof is available on GMIN's website, www.gminingventures.com, in the "Corporate Governance" section.

Nomination of Candidates to the GMIN Board

The GMIN ESG Committee carefully reviews and assesses the professional skills and abilities, the personality and other qualifications of each candidate, including the time and energy that the candidate is able to devote to this task as well as the contribution that he/she can make to the GMIN Board. In performing its review and assessment, the GMIN ESG Committee gives due consideration to the skills matrix adopted by the GMIN Board in making recommendation to the GMIN Board, which then designates candidates for director positions. See "Appendix M-2 – GMIN Annual General Meeting – Skills Matrix" attached to this Circular.

Compensation

While the GMIN Board remains responsible for reviewing and approving the amounts and the method of compensation of GMIN's directors and officers, the GMIN HR Committee reviews and oversees compensation matters in depth and make its recommendations to the GMIN Board once a year. For details regarding the process of determining compensation paid to NEOs and the directors of GMIN, see "Appendix M-4 – GMIN Annual General Meeting – Named Executive Officers And Directors" attached to this Circular.

Composition of the GMIN Board Committees

As at the date of this Circular, the directors are assigned to the standing committees of the GMIN Board as indicated below:

Committee Directors
Chair: Elif Lévesque
GMIN A&R Committee Members: David A. Fennell, Norman MacDonald, Karim Nasr, Jason Neal, Carlos Vilhena and Sonia Zagury
Chair: Sonia Zagury
GMIN ESG Committee Members: Louis Gignac Sr., Elif Lévesque, Norman MacDonald and Carlos Vilhena
Chair: Jason Neal
GMIN HR Committee Members: David A. Fennell, Elif Lévesque, Norman MacDonald, Karim Nasr and Carlos Vilhena
Chair: David A. Fennell
GMIN HST Committee Members: Louis Gignac Sr., Karim Nasr, Jason Neal and Sonia Zagury

Assessments

Different methods are used to assess the GMIN Board, namely, surveys, interviews, group discussions and other similar methods. Given GMIN's current stage of development, the GMIN Board conducted, for the first time, a formal and documented assessment process during the fourth quarter of 2023. In connection with that process, a detailed questionnaire was circulated to all directors, and each filled it out, for it to be reviewed and discussed at the November 23, 2023 GMIN ESG Committee meeting; and the GMIN ESG Committee chair thereafter reported thereon at the GMIN Board meeting on same day.

At the November 23, 2023, meeting, the GMIN ESG Committee members discussed the questionnaire findings in general and such discussion was briefly reported at the GMIN Board meeting. While a few areas for improvement were identified in the questionnaire and discussed during the meeting, the Committee acknowledged GMIN is a young organization and, in general, good work has been performed throughout 2023.

Diversity and Renewal of the GMIN Board

GMIN does not set a term of office for directors serving on the GMIN Board because it believes that setting a fixed duration would deprive GMIN of the value that long-time directors bring thanks to their knowledge of GMIN and their experience. However, the GMIN Board's charter provides that, while there is no limit to the number of years that a member of the GMIN Board can serve, the individual will no longer be regarded as independent for the purpose of committee participation and may not chair a committee after completing 12 years on the GMIN Board.

In addition, the GMIN Board's charter also provides that, to stand for election to the GMIN Board, an individual must be younger than 70 years of age as at the date of the annual general meeting, and an individual may not be added to the GMIN Board between annual general meetings if not younger than 70 years of age. Following his/her 70th birthday and within a reasonable time prior to the determination by the GMIN Board (after recommendation of the GMIN ESG Committee) of the nominees for election as directors at the upcoming shareholders meeting, a director must provide the Lead Director with his/her resignation letter, such resignation to be effective immediately prior to election of directors at the upcoming shareholders meeting. In the event the resigning director also expresses his/her desire to stand for re-election at that meeting, the GMIN ESG Committee shall determine whether such resignation is (i) accepted as tendered or (ii) refused, thereby allowing such director to stand for re-election, and make its recommendations in that respect to the GMIN Board.

If re-elected at such shareholders meeting, such director will undertake the same (resignation) steps as set forth above and the GMIN ESG Committee and the GMIN Board will treat such resignation in the same manner for the subsequent shareholders meeting. Unless such director's resignation is eventually accepted, the above-described procedures will be repeated annually. These procedures were followed in the case of Louis Gignac Sr. (currently 73 years old) and of David A. Fennell (currently 71 years old), whose resignations were refused by the GMIN Board, upon unanimous recommendation of the GMIN ESG Committee, thereby allowing them to stand for re-election at the GMIN Meeting.

The GMIN Board aims to encourage diversity on the GMIN Board and adopted a diversity policy on January 26, 2021, which was amended on May 25, 2023. An updated copy of that policy is available on GMIN's website, www.gminingventures.com, in the "Corporate Governance" section. Essentially, that policy outlines GMIN's aspiration:

  • towards a GMIN Board composition in which women, Aboriginal people, persons with disabilities or members of visible minorities comprise at least 30% of the independent directors by 2024; and
  • to have approximately 30% of women, Aboriginal people, persons with disabilities or members of visible minorities in executive officer positions by 2024.

For the financial year ended December 31, 2023, there were two women (22%) who were independent directors on the GMIN Board and three women (43%) in the seven-member senior management team.

That being stated, the GMIN Board considers above all each candidate's qualifications and competencies in order to create as much value as possible for GMIN.

A shareholder and any other person entitled to attend a meeting of shareholders may in any manner waive notice of a meeting of shareholders, either before or after the holding thereof, and attendance of any such person at a meeting of shareholdersis a waiver of notice of the meeting, except where he attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the groundsthat the meeting is not lawfully called.

Notice of a meeting of shareholders at which special business is to be transacted shall state, among others:

(a) the nature of that business in sufficient detail to permit the shareholder to form a reasoned judgment thereon; and

Les simples irrégularités dans l'avis ou dans la manière de le donner, de même que l'omission involontaire de donner avis d'une assemblée à un actionnaire ou le défaut par un actionnaire de recevoir tel avis, n'invalident en rien les actes faits ou posés à l'assemblée concernée.

Sous réserve de ce qui précède, le vote du ou des détenteurs de la majorité des actionsreprésentées à toute assemblée annuelle et comportant droit de vote à ladite assemblée est suffisant pour ratifier validement tout acte antérieur du conseil d'administration et des dirigeants de la Société.

S'il n'y a pas quorum à l'ouverture d'une assemblée des actionnaires, l'assemblée, advenant qu'elle ait été convoquée à la demande d'actionnaires, est dissoute.

Subject to the foregoing, the vote of the holder or holders of a majority of the shares represented at any annual meeting and carrying voting rights thereat shall be sufficient for the valid ratification of any previous action of theBoard of Directors and of the officers of the Corporation.

Should a quorum not be present at any meeting of the shareholders, the meeting, if convened on the request of shareholders, shall be dissolved. In any other case, those present in person and entitled to be counted for the purpose of forming a quorum shall havepower to adjourn the meeting to the place, date and hour fixed by them by resolution.

Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held at such places, within or outside Canada, at such time and upon such notice as may be determined, from time to time, by resolution of the Board of Directors. A copy of any resolution of the Board of Directors determining the place and date of such regular meetings shall be sent to each director immediately after its adoption, but no other notice will be required for a regular meeting, except when the Act requires that the subject matter of the meeting and the business to be transacted thereat be specified.

Any meeting of the Board of Directors convened otherwise than in conformity with the foregoing provisions of this article shall be a special meeting

Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called, at any time and from time to time, by or on the order of the Chairman ofthe Board, the President, the Managing Director or

(2) des administrateurs. Un avis stipulant le lieu, le jour et l'heure d'une telle réunion doit être signifié à chacun des administrateurs ou laissé à sa résidence ou à sa place d'affaires ordinaire ou lui être expédié par la poste, sous pli affranchi, ou par télécopieur ou courrier électronique, à son adresse, telle qu'elle apparaît aux livres de la Société, au moins vingt-quatre (24) heures avant l'heure et la date fixées pour la réunion. Si l'adresse de tout administrateur n'apparaît pas aux livres de la Société, on doit expédier ledit avis par la poste, télécopieur ou courriel, selon le cas, à l'adresse considérée, par la personne qui l'expédie, comme étant la meilleure pour atteindre promptement l'administrateur concerné. Toute réunion spéciale ainsi convoquée peut être tenue au siège social de la Société ou à tout autre endroit, au Canada ou ailleurs, approuvé par résolution des administrateurs.

En tout temps, lorsque le président du conseil, le président oul'administrateur-gérant, à sa discrétion, considère qu'il est urgent qu'une réunion des administrateurs soit convoquée, l'avis peut être donné, par écrit ou verbalement, soit par télécopieur, courriel, téléphone ou autrement, au moins une (1) heure avant que la réunion ne soit tenue; et cet avis est valable pour la réunion convoquée en de telles circonstances.

Des réunions spéciales du conseil d'administration peuvent être tenues à toute date, en tout endroit et à toutes fins, sans avis, quand tous les administrateurs sont présentsou quand les administrateurs absents ont, par écrit, renoncé à l'avis de la tenue d'une telle réunion. Tout administrateur peut renoncer à l'avis de toute réunion soit avant ou après la tenue de la réunion et le fait pour un administrateur d'assister à une réunion d'administrateurs constitue une renonciation à l'avis de convocation de ladite réunion, sauf lorsqu'un administrateur assiste à une réunion dans le but exprès de s'opposer aux délibérations parce que ladite réunion n'est pas régulièrement convoquée.

Tout administrateur peut, avec le consentement de tous les administrateurs,

If the address of any director does not appear in the books of the Corporation, then such notice shall be mailed, faxed or e-mailed, as the case may be, at such address as the person sending the notice may consider to be the most likely to result in such notice promptly reaching such director. Any special meeting so convened may be held at the registered office of the Corporation or at such other place, within or outside Canada, approved by resolution of the directors.

In the case where the convening of a meeting is considered by the Chairman of the Board, the President or the Managing Director, in his discretion, to be a matter of urgency, verbal or written notice can be given by fax, email or telephone or otherwise, not less than one (1) hour before such meeting is to be held; and such notice shall be adequate for the meeting so convened.

Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be held at such time and place and for such purposes, without notice, when all directors are present or when those absent shall have waived in writing notice of said meeting. Any director may waive notice of a meeting, either before or after the holding thereof, and attendance of a director at a meeting of directors is a waiver of notice of the meeting, except where a director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting is not lawfully called.

Any director may, if all the directors of the Corporation consent, participate in a meeting

Si tous les dirigeants ci-haut mentionnés sont absents ou refusent d'agir, les personnes présentes peuvent choisir quelqu'un parmi elles pour agir comme président. Le président de toute réunion du conseil d'administration a droit de vote comme administrateur relativement à toute question soumise au vote de l'assemblée, mais, advenant égalité des voix, n'a pas droit à une deuxième voix ou voix prépondérante.

Questions arising at any meetings of directors shall be decided by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present thereat.

ARTICLE 4.10 RESIGNATION OF DIRECTORS

Any director may, at any time, tender his resignation in writing. Such resignation need not be justified and no liability is incurred by the director towards the Corporation even though such resignation is not justified; provided that such resignation does not cause any prejudice to the Corporation if tendered at an inopportune time.

ARTICLE 4.11 REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS

Any director may, by ordinary resolution adopted at any special meeting of the shareholders called for that purpose, be removed from office, either with or without cause, and another duly qualified person may, by resolution adopted at the same meeting, be elected in his stead. The person so elected shall hold office during such time only as the director in whose place he was elected would have held the same if he had not been removed.

Si les administrateurs alors en fonctions ne constituent pas quorum ou si la vacance résulte du défaut d'élire le nombre fixe ou le nombre minimal d'administrateurs requis par les statuts de la Société ou d'une augmentation de ce nombre, les administrateurs alors en fonctions doivent dès lors convoquer une assemblée extraordinaire des actionnaires en vue de combler cette vacance.

PARTICULARS OF ANNUAL BUSINESS MATTERS TO BE ACTED ON AT THE REUNION GOLD MEETING

1. Financial Statements

The Reunion Gold Annual Financial Statements and the Reunion Gold Annual MD&A will be placed before the Reunion Gold Shareholders at the Reunion Gold Meeting. A copy of the Reunion Gold Annual Financial Statements was filed under Reunion Gold's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca and mailed to Reunion Gold Shareholders in accordance with applicable Laws and written instructions received from Reunion Gold Shareholders or Intermediaries. Additional copies may be obtained from the Corporate Secretary of Reunion Gold upon request and will be available at the Reunion Gold Meeting. No action is required to be taken with respect to financial statements.

2. Election of Directors

The articles of Reunion Gold provide for a minimum of three and a maximum of fifteen directors. Under the CBCA, at least 25% of the directors must be Canadian residents. The Reunion Gold Board has set the number of directors to be elected at nine. Six of the nine nominees are Canadian residents. Management of Reunion Gold does not contemplate that any of the current nominees will not be able to serve as a director but, if that should occur for any reason prior to the Reunion Gold Meeting, the persons named in the enclosed proxy instrument reserve the right to vote for another nominee at their discretion. The terms of office of Reunion Gold's current directors will expire as of the date of the Reunion Gold Meeting. Each director elected at the Reunion Gold Meeting will hold office until the next annual meeting of Reunion Gold Shareholders, or until their successors are elected or appointed in accordance with the provisions of the CBCA.

Advance Notice Provisions

On May 8, 2023, the Reunion Gold Board approved and adopted By-Law No. 3 of Reunion Gold, being a by-law related to the nomination of directors of Reunion Gold, (the "Advance Notice By-Law"), which was approved by Reunion Gold Shareholders at Reunion Gold's annual general and special meeting held on June 13, 2023. Pursuant to Advance Notice By-Law, the Reunion Gold Board has determined that notice of nominations of persons for election to the Reunion Gold Board at the Reunion Gold Meeting must be made in accordance with the requirements of such Advance Notice Bylaw. To the date of the Circular, Reunion Gold has not received notice of a nomination in compliance with the Advance Notice By-Law and, subject to the timely receipt of any such nomination, any nominations other than nominations by or at the direction of the Reunion Gold Board or an authorized officer of Reunion Gold will be disregarded at the Reunion Gold Meeting.

Unless otherwise directed, the directors or officers of Reunion Gold named in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote in favour of the election of the nine management nominees for director named below.

Upon the completion of the Arrangement, Reunion Gold will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of New GMIN and the New GMIN Board will be constituted of the persons listed under "Appendix J-1 – Information Concerning New GMIN" attached to the Circular. In such event, New GMIN may elect to alter the composition of the Reunion Gold Board such that some or all of the management nominees may no longer serve as directors of Reunion Gold.

The following table sets out the names of the nominees for election as directors of Reunion Gold, their places of residence, all offices and positions with Reunion Gold and any of its significant affiliates each now holds, each nominee's principal occupation, business or employment, the period of time during which each has been a director of Reunion Gold and the number of Reunion Gold Shares beneficially owned by each, directly or indirectly, or over which each exercised control or direction, as at the date of the Circular:

3. Appointment of Auditors

Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton LLP, Chartered Accountants, have been the auditor of Reunion Gold since 2004. The Reunion Gold Board recommends, on the advice of the audit committee of the Reunion Gold Board (the "Reunion Gold Audit Committee"), that they be reappointed as auditor of Reunion Gold, with their remuneration to be fixed by the Reunion Gold Board.

Unless otherwise directed, the directors or officers of Reunion Gold named in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote in favour of the reappointment of Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton LLP as Reunion Gold's auditors for the year ending December 31, 2024 at a remuneration to be fixed by the directors of Reunion Gold.

Upon the completion of the Arrangement, Reunion Gold will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of New GMIN and, in such event, New GMIN intends to appoint PwC as auditors for New GMIN and all of its subsidiaries. See "Appendix J-1 – Information Concerning New GMIN" attached to the Circular.

4. Approval of Reunion Gold Share Option Plan

Reunion Gold currently has two equity compensation plans – the Reunion Gold Share Option Plan and an amended and restated performance and restricted share unit plan dated for reference June 9, 2022 (the "Reunion Gold PRSU Plan" and collectively with the Reunion Gold Share Option Plan, the "Reunion Gold Plans"). The purpose of the Reunion Gold Plans is to attract and retain directors, officers, employees, and consultants of Reunion Gold and to advance the interests of Reunion Gold by encouraging equity participation in Reunion Gold through the acquisition of Reunion Gold Shares. The Reunion Gold Share Option Plan was most recently approved by Reunion Gold Shareholders at Reunion Gold's annual general meeting held on June 13, 2023. The Reunion Gold PRSU Plan does not require annual approval by Reunion Gold Shareholders as it is a "fixed" plan.

Under TSX-V policies, all equity compensation plans are subject to shareholder approval. Equity compensation plans that are "rolling" plans, which means that the number of shares available for issue under the plan is based upon the number of shares of Reunion Gold outstanding from time to time, are subject to shareholder approval annually. Equity compensation plans that provide for the issue of a set number of securities at the time of adoption of the plan, known as a "fixed" plan, are subject to shareholder approval at the time of implementation of the plan.

The material terms of the Reunion Gold Plans are set forth below under "Statement of Executive Compensation – Stock Option Plan and Other Incentive Plans".

At the Reunion Gold Meeting, the Reunion Gold Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, to pass an ordinary resolution to approve the Reunion Gold Share Option Plan for continuation until the next annual general meeting of Reunion Gold in the following form:

"BE IT RESOLVED that:

    1. the Reunion Gold Share Option Plan be ratified and approved for continuation until the next annual general meeting of Reunion Gold Shareholders; and
    1. any one director or officer of Reunion Gold be authorized to perform all such acts and things and to execute and deliver all such deeds, documents, instruments and assurances as in the opinion of such director or officer may be necessary or desirable to give effect to this resolution."

In order to be passed, the above resolution requires the approval of the majority of votes cast thereon by Reunion Gold Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Reunion Gold Meeting. The Reunion Gold Board unanimously recommends that the Reunion Gold Shareholders ratify and approve for continuation the Reunion Gold Share Option Plan.

Unless otherwise directed, the directors or officers of Reunion Gold named in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote in favour of the approval of the above ordinary resolution.

5. Other Business

Management of Reunion Gold is not aware of any other matter to be acted upon at the Reunion Gold Meeting other than the matters described above. If any other matter properly comes before the Reunion Gold Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy to vote the Reunion Gold Shares represented thereby in accordance with their best judgment on such matter.

Performance and Restricted Share Unit Plan (Share Based Awards)

The purpose of the Reunion Gold PRSU Plan is to attract and retain directors, officers, employees, and consultants of Reunion Gold and to advance the interests of Reunion Gold by encouraging equity participation in Reunion Gold through the acquisition of Reunion Gold Shares.

Material Terms of PRSU Plan

Capitalized terms used below that are not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Reunion Gold PRSU Plan.

The number of Reunion Gold Shares that may be reserved for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the Reunion Gold PRSU Plan shall not exceed 16,000,000 Reunion Gold Shares of Reunion Gold, provided however that at no time may the number of Reunion Gold Shares issuable under Reunion Gold RSUs and performance share units of Reunion Gold ("Reunion Gold PSUs") awarded under the Reunion Gold PRSU Plan, together with the number of Reunion Gold Shares issuable under Reunion Gold Options that have been granted under the Reunion Gold Share Option Plan or other securitybased compensation arrangements of Reunion Gold (if any) shall, in the aggregate, exceed 10% of the number of Reunion Gold Shares issued and outstanding as at the date of an award under the Reunion Gold PRSU Plan or a grant under the Reunion Gold Share Option Plan, as the case may be.

PRSU Plan Participants under the Reunion Gold PRSU Plan are designated by the Reunion Gold Board at its sole discretion. Participants are eligible to receive Reunion Gold RSUs and Reunion Gold PSUs (other than directors) pursuant to the Reunion Gold PRSU Plan. Investor Relations Service Providers are not eligible to participate in the Reunion Gold PRSU Plan.

Subject to the provisions and restrictions of the Reunion Gold PRSU Plan, the aggregate maximum number of Reunion Gold Shares available under the Reunion Gold PRSU Plan may be used for any type of award as determined and fixed by the Reunion Gold Board, at its sole discretion. The Reunion Gold Board shall have the authority to determine, in its sole discretion, at the time of a grant of any Reunion Gold RSUs or Reunion Gold PSUs the duration of the vesting period, in the case of Reunion Gold PSUs, the performance criteria and performance period, and any other vesting terms and/or conditions.

As long as it may be required by the rules and policies of the Exchange: (a) the total number of Reunion Gold Shares issuable to any one Participant under the Reunion Gold PRSU Plan, within any 12-month period, shall not exceed one

percent (1%) of the issued and outstanding Reunion Gold Shares of Reunion Gold, (b) the total number of Reunion Gold Shares issuable to any one Participant under the Reunion Gold PRSU Plan, within any 12-month period, together with Reunion Gold Shares reserved for issuance to such Participant at any time under all of Reunion Gold's other security-based compensation arrangements, shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding Reunion Gold Shares (unless Reunion Gold has obtained disinterested Reunion Gold Shareholders approval for such grant), (c) the total number of Reunion Gold Shares issuable to any one consultant, shall not exceed an aggregate of two percent (2%) of the issued and outstanding Reunion Gold Shares in any 12-month period, and (d) the total number of Reunion Gold Shares issuable to insiders, within any 12-month period and at any time, under the Reunion Gold PRSU Plan and pursuant to all other securitybased compensation arrangements of Reunion Gold shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding Reunion Gold Shares.

If a Participant is terminated for cause (as determined by the Reunion Gold Board in its sole discretion), or, in the case of a consultant, for breach of contract, then any awards held by the Participant at the termination date (whether or not vested awards) are immediately forfeited to Reunion Gold on the termination date. In the case of death or disability, all unvested Reunion Gold RSUs and Reunion Gold PSUs, shall immediately vest and be automatically redeemed as of the date of death or disability.

Reunion Gold RSUs and Reunion Gold PSUs are not assignable or transferable, other than by will or by the laws of descent.

Oversight and Description of Directors and NEOs Compensation

General Approach to Compensation

The compensation, nominating and governance committee of the Reunion Gold Board (the "Reunion Gold CNG Committee") is responsible, among other matters, for assisting and making recommendations to the Reunion Gold Board with respect to executive compensation and overall compensation strategy in line with the responsibilities and risks of public companies. The Reunion Gold CNG Committee makes its recommendation to the Reunion Gold Board after having consulted, when appropriate, Reunion Gold's Executive Chair, the CEO and compensation advisors. The Reunion Gold CNG Committee is also responsible for making recommendations with respect to directors' compensation for the Reunion Gold Board's consideration and ultimate approval. The Reunion Gold CNG Committee is currently composed of three directors, Pierre Chenard (chair), Richard Cohen and Adrian Fleming, all of whom are independent.

Reunion Gold's approach is to compensate its NEOs appropriately and to provide long-term incentive compensation in line with the interest of the Reunion Gold Shareholders and the best interests of Reunion Gold taking into account a variety of considerations, including Reunion Gold's financial condition, its performance and level of activities, the executive's scope of responsibilities, competencies and contribution to Reunion Gold's performance, and any other factors they consider relevant. While Reunion Gold takes into consideration the compensation paid to similar executive officers in comparable junior resource companies, Reunion Gold does not systematically engage a compensation consultant or advisor.

Due to the relatively small size of Reunion Gold and its current management group, the Reunion Gold Board is able to closely monitor and consider any risks which may be associated with Reunion Gold's compensation policies and practices. Risks, if any, may also be identified and mitigated through regular Reunion Gold Board meetings during which financial and other information of Reunion Gold is regularly reviewed.

Compensation Components

Executive compensation is comprised of three elements: salary or fees, bonuses, and compensation securities. Salaries, fees, and bonuses are intended to provide base compensation and a short-term incentive to meet Reunion Gold's goals, as well as to remain competitive within the industry. Given Reunion Gold's current size and stage of development, the grant of compensation securities under the Reunion Gold Share Option Plan and the Reunion Gold PRSU Plan, constitutes an important part of Reunion Gold's long-term incentive strategy for its employees, consultants, officers and directors, permitting them to participate in any appreciation of the market value of Reunion Gold Shares over a stated period of time. These incentive plans are intended to reinforce the recipients' commitment to the long-term development and success of Reunion Gold, and to reward overall corporate performance, as measured through the price of Reunion Gold Shares. Reunion Gold also considers the grant of compensation securities to be a method of compensation that helps in attracting and retaining qualified individuals and it reflects a philosophy of aligning the interests of holders with those of the shareholders by tying compensation to share price performance. The size and vesting conditions attached to compensation securities grants are determined taking into consideration several factors, including prior grants and the expected contributions of the recipient to Reunion Gold's future success. It is Reunion Gold's policy to impose a vesting on all compensation securities grants. Reunion Gold Options usually vest as to one third on the date of the grant and one third on each of the first and second anniversary of the grant. Reunion Gold RSUs usually vest as to 50% on the first anniversary of the award and 50% on the second anniversary.

Reunion Gold, on recommendation of the Reunion Gold CNG Committee, has established a short-term incentive program. Each NEO is eligible to receive an annual cash incentive bonus in an amount calculated on the basis of the target percentage of their respective base salary up to a maximum specified percentage, based on performance and attainment of objectives, and subject to Reunion Gold's financial situation.

Reunion Gold does not have a pension plan that provides for payments or benefits to the NEOs at, following, or in connection with retirement.

NEOs and Non-executive Director Compensation – Financial Year ended December 31, 2023

The Reunion Gold CNG Committee has not retained a compensation consultant or advisor during Reunion Gold's most recently completed financial year to assist in determining compensation for any of Reunion Gold's directors or executive officer. However, the Reunion Gold CNG Committee did compare compensation across a peer group of companies.

During the financial year ended December 31, 2023, NEOs received an annual bonus based on Reunion Gold's and their individual achievement and performance during the calendar year 2022. These bonuses are reflected in the Table of Compensation excluding Compensation Securities above.

During the first quarter of 2023, the Reunion Gold CNG Committee completed a review of the NEOs performance and achievements during the year 2022 and recommended to the Reunion Gold Board the payment of bonuses of \$343,750 to David A. Fennell (Executive Chair), \$122,500 to Alain Krushnisky (CFO), and \$63,204 to Justin van der Toorn (VP, Exploration) totaling \$529,454 paid at the end of March 2023.

Directors Compensation

The fees payable to the non-executive directors were also adjusted for the financial year ended December 31, 2023 to reflect the additional work and responsibilities and to be more in line with peers. Substantial reductions were made in 2020 and 2021 due to Reunion Gold's financial situation at that time. In 2023, directors were entitled to an annual cash retainer of \$18,000. The Lead Director was paid an additional annual fee of \$7,500. Additional fees were paid to the chair of committees of the Reunion Gold Board as follow: Chair of the Reunion Gold Audit Committee: \$7,500 per year; Chair of the Reunion Gold CNG Committee: \$3,000 per year; and Chair of the Reunion Gold SESR Committee: \$3,000 per year. Directors do not receive a per meeting fee. NEOs who also act as directors of Reunion Gold do not receive additional compensation for services rendered in such capacity. Non-executive directors that performed services beyond the normal scope of directors duties and responsibilities may invoice Reunion Gold for such services on an agreed-upon hourly rate.

In addition, non-executive directors are eligible to receive stock options under the Reunion Gold Share Option Plan and Reunion Gold RSUs under the Reunion Gold PRSU Plan. All directors of Reunion Gold are entitled to be reimbursed for reasonable travel expenses incurred with respect to their attendance at meetings of the Reunion Gold Board and of a committee of the Reunion Gold Board.

Employment, Consulting and Management Agreements

Richard Howes, Reunion Gold's President and CEO, provides his services under an employment agreement with Reunion Gold. In the event of termination by Reunion Gold for any reason other than for cause, Mr. Howes would be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equivalent to twice his base salary and target performance bonus for which he was eligible during the period that includes the termination date. If Reunion Gold had terminated the employment of Mr. Howes on December 31, 2023 as a result of a change of control, Reunion Gold would have had to pay to him \$1,600,000.

INDEBTEDNESS OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

As of the date of the Circular, no current or former director, executive officer or employee of Reunion Gold or any of its subsidiaries is indebted to Reunion Gold or any of its subsidiaries in relation to a purchase of securities or otherwise, or to another entity where the indebtedness is the subject of a guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or other similar arrangement or understanding provided by Reunion Gold or any of its subsidiaries.

INTEREST OF INFORMED PERSONS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

Other than as set forth in the Circular and other than transactions carried out in the ordinary course of business of Reunion Gold or any of its subsidiaries, none of the persons who were directors or executive officers of Reunion Gold or a subsidiary of Reunion Gold at any time during Reunion Gold's last financial year, nor the proposed nominees for election to the Reunion Gold Board, nor any person or company who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or who exercises control or direction over (or a combination of both) more than 10% of the issued and outstanding Reunion Gold Shares, nor any associate or affiliate of those persons, has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any transaction or proposed transaction which has materially affected or would materially affect Reunion Gold or any of its subsidiaries.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

Canadian securities regulatory policy as reflected in National Instrument 58-101 - Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices ("NI 58-101") requires that TSX-V listed companies must annually disclose their approach to corporate governance. National Policy 58-201 - Corporate Governance Guidelines ("NP 58-201") provides regulatory staff guidance as to preferred governance practices, although the guidelines are not prescriptive, other than for audit committees. Disclosure of Reunion Gold's approach to corporate governance in the context of NI 58-101 and NP 58-201 (together the "Policies"), as well as its compliance with the mandatory rules relating to audit committees, is set forth below.

Composition of the Reunion Gold Board of Directors

The Policies provide that the board of directors of an issuer determine and disclose the status of each director as independent or not, based on each director's interest in, or other relationship with, the issuer. Under the Policies, the applicable definition of independence is that contained in National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees ("NI 52-110"), under which a director is "independent" where he or she "has no direct or indirect material relationship" with the issuer. A "material relationship" is a relationship which could, in the view of the issuer's board of directors, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a member's independent judgment.

The Reunion Gold Board is currently composed of nine directors of whom seven are considered by the Reunion Gold Board to be "independent" directors. These are Elaine Bennett, Pierre Chenard, Richard Cohen, Adrian Fleming, Réjean Gourde, Vijay N. J. Kirpalani and Frederick Stanford. Richard Howes (President and CEO) and David A. Fennell (Executive Chair) are not considered independent as they have a material relationship with Reunion Gold due to being an executive officer of Reunion Gold. The Reunion Gold Board has also determined that the independent directors exercise their responsibilities for independent oversight of management through their majority control of the Reunion Gold Board.

Pierre Chenard has been Lead Director of the Reunion Gold Board since June 2023. Mr. Chenard is an independent director and as Lead Director he oversees the performance and effectiveness of the Reunion Gold Board, free from the influence of management. He chairs the in camera sessions held by the independent directors at the end of each regularly scheduled board meeting as well as periodic meetings of the independent directors, and reports as necessary to the Reunion Gold Board concerning the deliberations of the independent directors. Mr. Chenard has as held senior roles in both the corporate development and legal areas over the past 35 years. He has served as a director and executive officer of several publiclylisted companies in the mining sector. He has significant experience in corporate governance and compensation matters.

The following table sets out details of directorships held by each director or nominee in other reporting issuers as at the date of the Circular.

Nomination of Directors and Diversity

The Reunion Gold Board recognizes the benefits of a diversity of views, skills and experience. The Reunion Gold Board believes that its size should be optimum for Reunion Gold, providing Reunion Gold with sufficient diversity and depth of experience and facilitating effective and efficient decision-making.

The Reunion Gold Board is committed to selecting the best persons to fulfill these roles and has delegated to the Reunion Gold CNG Committee the development of the recommendation of director nominees. The Reunion Gold CNG Committee believes that director nominations should be based on merit and Reunion Gold's needs and resources at the particular time and within the particular context. In assessing the composition of the Reunion Gold Board, the CNG takes into account a range of considerations, including: strengths, skills and experience of current directors based, in part, on a skills matrix completed by each director, the independence of each director, diversity of the Reunion Gold Board, including the competencies and skills that the Reunion Gold Board, as a whole, should possess, gender representation, and other matters.

Although Reunion Gold has not adopted term limits or other mechanism for Reunion Gold Board renewal, the Reunion Gold Board has been active in promoting renewal to ensure new perspectives are brought to the Reunion Gold Board.

Dundee Corporation has the right to nominate one qualified person to the Reunion Gold Board for so long as they hold an interest of not less than 10% of the outstanding Reunion Gold Shares. The Reunion Gold CNG Committee also considers if the proposed nomination is acceptable.

CBCA-incorporated reporting issuers are required to disclose diversity representation on four designated groups as defined under the Canada Employment Equity Act, including the number and percentage of women, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities (collectively, the "Designated Groups") on the board of directors and within senior management.

The following table discloses the number and percentage of the Designated Groups represented on the Reunion Gold Board and senior management of Reunion Gold as of the date of the Circular:

Designated Groups Board of Directors (excluding Chair) Senior management (including Chair)
Women 1 of 9 (11%) 1 of 6 (17`%)
Indigenous peoples nil nil
Persons with disabilities nil nil
Members of visible minorities 1 of 9 (11%) nil

Reunion Gold has not adopted a written policy and targets related to the identification and nomination of directors and senior management from the Designated Groups. The Reunion Gold Board remains receptive to increase the representation of people from the Designated Groups on the Reunion Gold Board and senior management in the future. Reunion Gold believes that appointment of senior executives should be based on merit and Reunion Gold's needs and resources at the particular time and within the particular context of being a junior exploration company. Reunion Gold's workforce is largely sourced locally to ensure the economic benefit of employment remains in nearby communities.

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Reunion Gold CNG Committee is responsible for developing and reviewing orientation and continuing education programs for directors. The Reunion Gold Board has adopted an orientation and continuing education policy. This policy sets forth the process of orientation for newly-appointed directors to familiarize them with the role of the Reunion Gold Board, its committees, its directors, and the nature and operations of Reunion Gold's business activities. This policy also indicates the elements of continuing education of the Reunion Gold Board to ensure that non-employee directors maintain the skill and knowledge necessary to meet their obligations as directors.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Reunion Gold Board has adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics (the "Reunion Gold Code") that applies to its directors, officers, employees and consultants. The Reunion Gold Code provides basic guidelines setting forth the ethical behavior expected from every directors, officers, employees and consultants of Reunion Gold with respect to the use of Company's time and assets, protection of confidential information, conflicts of interest, trading in Reunion Gold's securities and other matters. The Reunion Gold Board is responsible for monitoring compliance with the Reunion Gold Code. The Reunion Gold Board has also adopted a Whistleblower Policy setting out procedures to report any suspected violations or concerns regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or other auditing matters or fraud, a Corporate Disclosure Policy and an Insider Trading Policy. The Reunion Gold Code and policies can be viewed on Reunion Gold's website at www.reuniongold.com.

Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee
