Meeting

This Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of the Corporation for use at the Meeting to be held on June 26, 2025, at 10:00 AM (Eastern Time) and any adjournment or postponement thereof at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the Notice.

The Corporation is pleased to provide a hybrid (in person and virtual) meeting format for this year's Meeting. A summary of the information that Shareholders will need to attend the Meeting in person or online is provided below. If you are unable to attend the Meeting, you can listen to the webcast on our website at https://gmin.gold following the Meeting.

Circular

Unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts referred to in this Circular are stated in Canadian dollars.

Arrangement

The Corporation was incorporated on June 20, 2024, for the purpose of participating in the Arrangement carried out on July 15, 2024, and pursuant to which the businesses of GMIN TZ (then known as G Mining Ventures Corp.) and GMIN Guyana (then known as Reunion Gold Corporation) were combined. Under the Arrangement, the holders of common shares of GMIN TZ received 0.25 of a Share for each common share of GMIN TZ held, and the holders of common shares of GMIN Guyana received, among other considerations, 0.07125 of a Share for each common share of GMIN Guyana held, resulting in GMIN TZ and GMIN Guyana becoming direct wholly-owned subsidiaries of GMIN and the listing of GMIN TZ on the TSX being substituted by the listing of GMIN on such exchange.

Solicitation of Proxies

This solicitation is made on behalf of the management of the Corporation. In addition to soliciting proxies by this Circular, directors, officers, employees and agents of the Corporation may solicit proxies personally, by telephone or by other means of communication. All costs of soliciting and preparing the Notice, this Circular and the Proxy or VIFs, as well as their associated mailing costs, have been paid by the Corporation. All applicable Meeting related materials sent to beneficial holders will be indirectly forwarded to Non-Registered Shareholders at the Corporation's cost.

Voting by Proxyholder

The persons named in the Proxy will vote or withhold from voting the Shares in respect of which they are appointed in accordance with the direction of the Shareholder appointing them and if the Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Shares shall be voted accordingly.

Where no choice is specified, the Proxy will confer discretionary authority and will be voted for each of the matters identified in the Notice and described in this Circular. The Proxy also confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein to vote with respect to any amendments or variations to the matters identified in the Notice and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting in such manner as such persons in their judgment may determine. As of the date of this Circular, the management of the Corporation knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting other than the matters referred to in the Notice.

Registered Shareholders

Every registered holder of Shares (the "Registered Shareholders") at the close of business on May 22, 2025 is entitled to receive notice of, and to vote their Shares at, the Meeting. Registered Shareholders who are unable to attend the Meeting in person and who wish to ensure that their Shares will be voted at the Meeting are requested to complete, sign and deliver the enclosed Proxy to Computershare, c/o Proxy Dept., 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1, Canada. In order to be valid and acted upon at the Meeting, a Proxy must be received at the aforesaid address not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time set for the holding of the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof. Further instructions with respect to voting by proxy are provided in the Proxy and below. The time limit for the deposit of proxies may be waived or extended by the Chair at his discretion, without notice.

Registered Shareholders can also vote online at: www.investorvote.com or by phone at 1-866-732-VOTE (8683).

Non-Registered Shareholders

Shareholders may beneficially own Shares that are registered in the name of a broker, investment dealer, bank, trust company, custodian, nominee or another intermediary (the "Non-Registered Shareholders"). Such Shares will more likely be registered under the names of intermediaries. Non-Registered Shareholders should note that the only proxies that can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting are those deposited by Registered Shareholders or as set out in the following disclosure. Intermediaries are required to seek voting instructions from Non-Registered Shareholders in advance of meetings of Shareholders. Without specific instructions, intermediaries are prohibited from voting shares for their clients. If you are a Non-Registered Shareholder, it is vital that the VIF provided to you by Computershare or by your broker, intermediary or its agent is returned according to the instructions provided in or with such form, sufficiently in advance of the deadline specified, to ensure that they are able to provide voting instructions on your behalf.

Every intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients. The Corporation is relying on the provisions of Regulation 54-101 respecting Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer that permit it to deliver proxy-related materials directly to its Non-Registered Shareholders. As a result, Non-Registered Shareholders can expect to receive a VIF from their broker. Voting can be completed by filling out and signing the VIF and returning it to their broker by telephone, by the Internet or by

mail, in each case as set out in the instructions provided on the VIF. Computershare will tabulate the results of the VIFs received from the Non-Registered Shareholders and will provide appropriate instructions at the Meeting with respect to the Shares represented by the VIFs they receive. These securityholder materials are being sent to both Registered Shareholders and Non-Registered Shareholders. If you are a Non-Registered Shareholder, and the Corporation or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address, and information about your holdings of securities were obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding securities on your behalf. By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Corporation (and not the intermediary holding securities on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (a) delivering these materials to you, and (b) carrying out your voting instructions. Please return your VIF as specified in the request for voting instructions sent to you.

Non-Registered Shareholders will be contacted by the Broadridge QuickVote service to assist such Non-Registered Shareholders with voting their Shares.

Revocation of Proxies

Shareholders have the power to revoke Proxies previously given by them. Revocation of proxies for Registered Shareholders can be effected by an instrument in writing (which includes a Proxy bearing a later date) signed by a Shareholder or the Shareholder's attorney duly authorized in writing (in the case of a corporation, such instrument must be executed under its corporate seal or signed by a duly authorized officer or attorney for that corporation) which is either delivered to Computershare, c/o Proxy Dept., at 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1, Canada any time up to and including the close of business on the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, or deposited with the Chair prior to the hour of commencement on the day of the Meeting, or in any other manner permitted by law.

A Non-Registered Shareholder who has submitted a Proxy may revoke it by contacting the intermediary through which the Non-Registered Shareholder's Shares are held and following the instructions of the intermediary respecting the revocation of Proxies.

The persons named in the Proxy are executive officers or directors of the Corporation. You have the right to appoint another person or company who need not be a Shareholder to represent you at the Meeting (a third-party proxyholder). If you appoint a third-party proxyholder, please make them aware that they must attend the Meeting, virtually or in person, for your vote to count.

How We Will Vote

If you appoint the proxyholders named in the Proxy, but do not tell them how to vote your Shares, your Shares will be voted:

  • FOR reappointment of PwC as auditors
  • FOR electing each director nominee listed in this Circular
  • FOR approving the General By-Laws

Pursuant to the investor rights agreement between GMIN and La Mancha dated July 15, 2024 (the "La Mancha IRA"), La Mancha has the right to nominate two representatives to the Board for so long as La Mancha and its affiliates' ownership interest in the Corporation is equal to $15\%$ or more; provided that if La Mancha's interest falls below $15\%$ but remains at or above $10\%$ , such number shall be reduced to one.

Information concerning the nominees proposed for election as directors of the Corporation is set out in the section entitled "About the Directors" of this Circular. Information contained in such section includes the positions and offices which each individual presently holds, their respective principal occupations or employments, directorships with other reporting issuers, and the number of securities of the Corporation which each beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or over which control or direction is exercised as of May 22, 2025. Also included are the committee memberships and attendance records during the year ended December 31, 2024. Information concerning the proposed nominees has been furnished by the respective nominees.

Majority Vote

The CBCA mandates a majority voting requirement for uncontested director elections, meaning elections where there is only one candidate nominated for each position available on the Board, as determined by the Board. Under the CBCA, Shareholders are provided the choice 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 Board is prohibited from appointing or re-appointing, as the case may be, any director nominee who failed to be elected except in limited circumstances to ensure that the Board is composed of the number of Canadian residents or the number of directors who are not officers or employees of the Corporation as is required by the CBCA. Any director nominee who fails to be elected may be nominated again at the next meeting of Shareholders at which there is an election of directors.

Report on Corporate Governance Practices

Governance Overview

The Board and management consider good corporate governance to be central to the effective and efficient operation of the Corporation. The Board, through the ESG Committee, periodically reviews its practices and monitors regulatory developments in Canada and aims to achieve higher standards of corporate governance through the implementation of new practices and meaningful improvements to existing practices. Through the Corporation's growth, its governance practices and policies have continued to evolve.

Governance Highlights

The Board's governance structure has been developed around three fundamental principles of sound governance, being Independence, Accountability and Transparency.

img-0.jpeg

Independence

Independent directors on the Board possess independence of mind – they think, speak and act independently. Fostering a majority independent board and fully independent key committees leads to an ethical and balanced approach to decision making that is untainted by self-interest and gives equal concern to all stakeholders. Practices adopted by the Board in support of independence are noted below.

Accountability

Accountability is owed to all stakeholders. The Board has developed an effective accountability framework that ensures actions and decisions are subject to oversight and confirms that initiatives undertaken by management meet the stated objectives of the Corporation.

Transparency

Transparency is a necessary precondition for accountability. On the belief that transparency fosters trust and confidence, the Board is committed to sound reporting systems and robust disclosure.

Governance Practices

In support of the three fundamental principles, the Board has adopted, inter alia, the following policies and practices. Copies of the policies noted below are available on the Corporation's website at www.gmin.gold.

The Board of Directors

The fundamental responsibility of the Board is to provide stewardship and governance over the management of the Corporation. This is done in the context of the requirements under the Corporation's constating documents, applicable law and regulatory authorities' rules and regulations; it is also done with acknowledgement of evolving market best practices and shareholder as well as stakeholder expectations.

The Board facilitates the exercise of independent supervision over the management by ensuring representation on the Board by directors who are independent of management. Directors are considered

to be independent if they have no direct or indirect material relationship with the Corporation. A "material relationship" is a relationship which could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director's independent judgment.

If a matter for the Board's consideration involves a non-independent director, that director is required to recuse himself or herself from the meeting for the consideration of such matter so that the directors who are not so involved can have an open and candid discussion and vote.

The Board supervises the conduct and affairs of the Corporation directly and through its committees. The Board holds regularly scheduled meetings, with additional meetings to consider issues held as necessary. In 2024, the Board held 11 meetings, with 95.6% attendance.

In-Camera Sessions

At the conclusion of all regularly scheduled meetings, the independent directors meet in the absence of management in order to encourage and ensure that free and candid discussions can take place. In the event that the independent directors wish to convene a meeting amongst themselves, they may do so by making arrangements with the assistance of GMIN's Corporate Secretary. In addition, all members of the Board regularly and independently confer amongst themselves and keep apprised of all operational and strategic aspects of the Corporation's business.

Board Mandate

The Board has adopted a formal written charter describing its duties, responsibilities and role as well as its expectations of individual directors and of management, the full text of which is attached as Appendix B to this Circular and can also be found on the Corporation's website at https://gmin.gold in the "Corporate Governance" section. Among other things, in order to ensure that the Board fulfills its role and is in a position to be held to account by the Shareholders, the Board, in collaboration with the appropriate committee, as applicable, is responsible for:

  • ensuring that a strategic planning process is in place;
  • approving the strategic plan and budgets (i.e., operating and capital budget) taking into account, among other things, the Corporation's opportunities and risks, and reviewing and monitoring the performance of the Corporation with regard to the adopted strategic plan and budget;
  • advising management with respect to critical and sensitive issues;
  • establishing appropriate measures for receiving feedback from the Corporation's stakeholders;
  • ensuring that the business of the Corporation is conducted in an ethical manner and in accordance with the best environmental, social and governance standards applicable to a reporting issuer of the Corporation's size and complexity, and adopting, implementing and enforcing the Corporation's policies to this effect;
  • reviewing and approving (i) the Code, with the purpose of promoting integrity and deterring wrongdoing and encouraging and promoting a culture of ethical business conduct, as well as (ii) the Corporation's environmental, health and safety policies and, as required, overseeing compliance with both;
  • developing appropriate qualifications/criteria for the selection of Board members (including criteria for determining director independence), approving the nomination of directors to the Board and its

committees, determining directors' remuneration, overseeing their ongoing training, and assessing the performance of the Board;

  • appointing the Corporation's executive officers, satisfying itself as to their integrity and that of senior management personnel, and as to their ability to instill a culture of integrity throughout the Corporation, and providing stewardship for their succession planning;
  • overseeing the adequacy of the HR Committee's process with regard to, among other things: (i) developing corporate goals and objectives for executive officers and assessing performance in relation thereto and (ii) approving the compensation and benefits policy, with a view to creating and reinforcing good conduct, ethical behavior, and promoting reasonable risk-taking;
  • identifying and assessing the principal risks of the Corporation's business and ensuring the implementation of appropriate systems to manage these risks;
  • ensuring the integrity of the Corporation's internal control systems and of management information systems and the safeguarding of the Corporation's assets;
  • reviewing and approving the Corporation's internal and external policies for communicating and disseminating information, the whole in accordance with GMIN's Corporate Disclosure and Confidentiality of Information Policy;
  • reviewing, approving and overseeing the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures;
  • reviewing and approving, as required, the Corporation's annual financial statements, management's discussion and analysis, related financial information, and financial outlook, the whole in accordance with the Corporate Disclosure and Confidentiality of Information Policy;
  • establishing appropriate limits on the authority delegated to the executive officers and management personnel to manage the business and affairs of the Corporation; and
  • overseeing the adequacy of the Corporation's processes to ensure compliance by the Corporation with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Independence of Directors

Having independent directors on the Board allows for objective opinions, particularly in relation to the evaluation and performance of the Board and well-being of the Corporation. With the assistance of the ESG Committee, the Board reviews each director's independence annually and upon the appointment or nomination of a new director to ensure a majority of the Board is independent. This assessment is made annually in accordance with standards of the Canadian Securities Administrators in Regulation 52-110. The last time the Board considered this matter was in connection with the completion of the Arrangement.

Based upon the tests for independence, the Board considers that eight of its eleven directors have no material relationship with the Corporation and therefore a majority of the Board is independent. Louis-Pierre Gignac, as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, is not an independent director within the meaning of Section 1.4 of Regulation 52-110, because he is an executive officer of the Corporation. Additionally, the Chair, Louis Gignac Sr., is not independent within the meaning of Section 1.4 of Regulation 52-110 as a result of his family relationship with Louis-Pierre Gignac, the President & Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation. As the Chair is not independent, the Board has appointed a Lead Director. Finally, David Fennell is not an independent director within the meaning of Section 1.4 of Regulation 52-110, because he was, within the last three years, the Executive Chairman of GMIN Guyana (then Reunion Gold Corporation).

Nomination of Directors

The 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 Board. In performing its review and assessment, the ESG Committee gives due consideration to the skills matrix adopted by the Board in making recommendations to the Board, which then designates candidates for director positions. For further information, see the Section entitled "Report on Corporate Governance Practices – Board Skills Matrix" below.

Board Skills Matrix

The Board, upon the recommendation of the ESG Committee, has adopted 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 ESG Committee annually to ensure that the Corporation achieves its main objectives in the selection and nomination of its directors, being to form an effectively functioning Board with a diversity of views and business experience. Such matrix was reviewed in connection with the changes made to the Board composition as a result of, and following the Arrangement. Descriptions of relevant elements are provided in the table immediately below the matrix.

Diversity

The Board has adopted a diversity policy (the "Diversity Policy") to encourage diversity on the Board. Initially, the policy outlined the Corporation's aspiration:

  • towards a 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 2025.

As of the time of this Circular, the targets set out in the Diversity Policy have been attained:

  • three independent directors are either women and/or members of a visible minority; together, they comprise $37.5\%$ of the independent directors; and
  • two women are officers of the Corporation; together, they comprise $33.3\%$ of the officers.

A copy of the Diversity Policy is available on the Corporation's website at https://gmin.gold in the "Corporate Governance" section.

The ESG Committee is responsible for assessing the Corporation's progress against the Diversity Policy's objectives and for continually reviewing best practices with respect to diversity and inclusion. That being stated, the Board considers above all each candidate's qualifications and competencies in order to create as much value as possible for the Corporation.

Board Refreshment and Director Tenure

The Corporation does not set a term of office for directors serving on the Board because it believes that setting a fixed duration would deprive the Corporation of the value that long-time directors bring thanks to their knowledge of the Corporation and their experience. However, the Board's charter provides that, while there is no limit to the number of years that a member of the 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 Board.

In addition, the Board's charter also provides that, to stand for election to the Board, an individual must be younger than 75 years of age as at the date of the annual general meeting, and an individual may not be added to the Board between annual general meetings if not younger than 75 years of age.

Board Evaluation and Director Assessments

Different methods are used to assess the Board, namely, surveys, interviews, group discussions and other similar methods. Given the Corporation's brief history and early years as a developing company without any producing assets, the Board conducted, for the first time in the fourth quarter of 2023, a formal and documented assessment process, circulating a detailed questionnaire to all directors in respect of the Board performance and that of each of its committees.

That process, which yielded satisfactory results in 2023, was repeated during the fourth quarter of 2024, with an abridged questionnaire that focused on Board performance (with overall committees assessment). In connection with each process, the relevant questionnaire was circulated to all directors, and each filled it out, for it to be reviewed and discussed at the November 23, 2023, ESG Committee meeting for the first time, and during an informal session held after the HST Committee meeting held on October 16, 2024. In both cases, the ESG Committee chair thereafter reported on the process, results and discussions at the Board meetings immediately following such meeting and such session, respectively.

While a few areas for improvement were identified in both questionnaires and discussed during the meeting and the informal session, respectively, the ESG Committee and the Board acknowledged the Corporation is a young organization and, in general, good work has been performed by the Board and its committees throughout 2023 and 2024, especially having regard for the Arrangement. In the latter respect, the Board had established a special committee of independent directors, the work of which was unanimously commended by the Board.

Director Continuing Education

The 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 the Corporation. The Board is responsible for ensuring that directors have the opportunity to pursue continuing

education. The Board believes that staying informed, building competencies and acquiring new knowledge is critical to enabling directors to effectively fulfill their role with the Corporation.

Director's continuing education can also take the form of presentations on matters of general or specific interest with respect to the affairs of the Corporation. These training sessions help directors understand the Corporation's activities and strategic plan. In addition, each director periodically assessed his/her own professional development needs. On October 10, 2024, an informal session was attended by all directors during which outside counsel made a presentation about trends in corporate governance and led discussions in respect thereof, notably as regards:

Succession planning The “S” factors of ESG Modern Slavery Matters Corporate Minutes Overview of Upcoming Trends(1)

Note:
(1) Cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, climate, double materiality and greenwashing

Several questions were asked by directors who proved very engaged in these discussions, and they were answered by counsel, to their satisfaction. It is contemplated to hold another session of this nature in the course of 2025, likely under a "deep dive" format that will pertain to one or two matters of interest to be selected by directors.

Ethical Business Conduct

To ensure that directors exercise independent judgment when considering transactions and agreements in respect of which any director has an interest, the Board complies with the conflict of interest provisions of its governing corporate legislation and relevant securities legislation, regulatory instruments and stock exchange policies (which require that interested directors recuse themselves from the consideration of, and voting on, such matters). Furthermore, any director or officer must fill out and execute a conflict of interest disclosure form to disclosure any real or perceived conflict of interest to the Corporation.

To further foster a governance culture within the Corporation, the Board has adopted and approved the Code and a vast array of corporate policies, as discussed below. The Code and most policies were initially adopted on January 26, 2021, by GMIN TZ and were enhanced and updated in 2023 (following a thorough review that involved outside counsel), while additional policies were adopted during same year. All such policies, including the Code, were slightly amended and restated as policies of the Corporation in connection with the Arrangement.

Code of Ethics & Business Conduct and Third-Party Code of Ethics & Business Conduct

The Board has adopted the Code which applies to directors, officers and employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, irrespective of jurisdiction. Such adoption by the Corporation is to ensure that its directors, officers and employees, in the performance of their respective duties and responsibilities, at all times act with complete honesty and good faith, in the best interest of the Corporation. They must also always act in accordance with applicable laws, regulations and policies, and also with integrity.

A copy of the Code is available on the Corporation's website at https://gmin.gold in the "Corporate Governance" section, and the table below provides an overview of the matters in respect of which the

Code sets out the conduct expected by the Corporation from its directors, officers and employees (and those of its subsidiaries) as well as the business practices to be observed:

·Conflicts of Interest ·Intellectual Property ·Confidential Information ·Relationships with Public Officials ·Bribery and Corruption ·Gifts and Entertainment ·Political Contributions and Activities ·Dealing with External Stakeholders ·Operations ·Accuracy of Records and Reporting ·Books and Record Management ·Competitors' Information ·Protection of the Environment ·Use and Protection of GMIN Property ·Privacy ·Use of Electronic Systems ·Securities Laws, Insider Trading and Prohibition of Short Sales ·Work Environment

The Code also sets forth the standards of conduct that the Corporation expects of its suppliers, contractors, representatives, service providers and any other third parties that work for or on behalf of the Corporation, including their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, suppliers and representatives that provide goods or services to the Corporation or related to its business, through adherence to the Corporation's Third-Party Code of Ethics and Business Conduct which is also available on the Corporation's website at https://gmin.gold in the "Corporate Governance" section.

All directors, officers and employees of the Corporation are required, on an annual basis, to acknowledge that they have reviewed and accepted to comply with the Code and other policies of the Corporation. In April 2025, directors were asked to (i) familiarize themselves again with the Code and all corporate policies of the Corporation, (ii) formally acknowledge their reading thereof, and (iii) undertake to comply therewith.

On an as-needed basis, the ESG Committee reviews the Code and monitors its implementation. The A&R Committee also monitors the implementation of the Code regarding accounting, auditing and financial matters. At least once a year, the Corporate Secretary reviews the Code, the adherence to the Code, best practices and potential improvements. Lastly, it must be noted that the Code and all the Corporation's policies apply to all its subsidiaries.

Anti-Child & Forced Labour Policy

The Board has adopted an anti-child and forced labour policy (the "Anti-Child and Forced Labour Policy") to affirm and document its commitment to preventing and reducing the risk of Modern Slavery (as defined in the Anti-Child and Forced Labour Policy) within its operations and supply chain (and particularly those of its subsidiaries). While this policy was adopted in connection with the enactment of the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act (Canada) (the "Modern Slavery Act"), it also affirms the Corporation's zero-tolerance approach towards Modern Slavery.

The Anti-Child and Forced Labour Policy sets forth the standards of conduct that the Corporation expects of its suppliers, contractors, representatives, service providers and any other third parties that work for or on behalf of the Corporation (and, more particularly, its operating subsidiaries), including their respective directors, officers, employees, suppliers, contractors and representatives that provide goods or services to the Corporation (and, more particularly, its operating subsidiaries) or related to its business. The policy includes commitments regarding the prevention and reduction of the risk of Modern Slavery, transparency and continuous improvement.

It also sets out the assessments the Corporation will make to properly determine which portions of its supply chain are at risk and the steps it will take to minimize and mitigate such risks, in addition to providing guidelines to ensure the Corporation will report as it is expected to do under the Modern Slavery Act.

Corporate Disclosure and Confidentiality of Information Policy

The Board has adopted a corporate disclosure and confidentiality of information policy (the "Corporate Disclosure Policy") to affirm and document its commitment to timely, factual and accurate disclosure of all Material Information (as defined in the Corporate Disclosure Policy) in order to keep Shareholders, the investing public and other stakeholders informed about the Corporation's activities, business and property.

The Corporate Disclosure Policy covers disclosure in documents filed with the securities regulatory authorities, including stock exchanges and written statements made in the Corporation's annual and quarterly reports, news releases, letters to Shareholders, presentations by management of the Corporation and information contained on the Corporation's website and in other electronic communications, including social media.

Protection of Personal Information Policy

The Board has adopted a protection of personal information policy (the "Protection of Personal Information Policy") to affirm and document its commitment to the appropriate use and safeguarding of Personal Information (as defined in the policy) by GMIN's directors, officers, employees, contractors, representatives, service providers and other persons under the direct control of GMIN, irrespective of jurisdiction (collectively, the "GMIN Subject Parties"). The objectives of the Protection of Personal Information Policy are to communicate the Corporation's expectations and requirements with respect to the handling of Personal Information by the GMIN Subject Parties and to facilitate compliance with applicable laws pertaining to privacy and the protection of Personal Information. To do so, the policy clarifies the type and necessity of consent that is required to get the relevant Personal Information from the relevant individuals, and to be kept in mind by the GMIN Subject Parties:

Express Consent: means that, after having been clearly informed of the intended collection, use or disclosure of his or her Personal Information, the applicable individual has taken an affirmative step to signal his or her consent Implied Consent: means that the intended collection, use or disclosure of Personal Information is obvious in the circumstances and, as a result, it would be reasonable to assume that the individual, by providing his or her Personal Information, has provided consent
Consent Not Required: situations where GMIN may collect, use or disclose Personal Information without informed consent, such as in emergency situations or when required by law or court order Optional Consent: an individual cannot be required to consent to a collection, use or disclosure of his or her Personal Information for a purpose that is not necessary in the circumstances, and the optional nature of the consent must be communicated to the applicable individual

The Protection of Personal Information Policy also provides useful definitions and relevant concepts (e.g., consents, necessary information, profiling), underlines the personal responsibility of the GMIN Subject Parties and sets forth guidelines pertaining to, inter alia:

  • collecting, using and disclosing Personal Information (notably, the concept of information that is "necessary" in the circumstances of the relevant collection);

Policy Against Violence, Harassment and Discrimination in the Workplace

The Board has adopted a policy against violence, harassment and discrimination in the workplace (the "Policy Against Violence, Harassment and Discrimination") to affirm and document its commitment to preventing and ending any situation of psychological or sexual harassment, any acts or threats of violence as well as any form of discriminatory harassment within the Corporation.

Stock Ownership Guidelines Policy

On November 12, 2024, the Board adopted a Stock Ownership Guidelines Policy which is derived from the policy originally adopted by GMIN TZ on January 26, 2021, to affirm and document the Corporation's commitment to aligning the financial interests of officers and non-executive members of the Board (the "Participants") with those of the Shareholders. The policy sets out mandatory equity ownership requirements for the Participants.

Pursuant to the Stock Ownership Guidelines Policy, mandatory equity ownership thresholds have been established as set out in the table below:

Position Ownership Requirement
CEO Shares which have a fair market value equal to no less than 3 times the annual base salary.
CFO and other officers Shares which have a fair market value equal to no less than 1.5 times the annual base salary.

G Mining Ventures Corp. 2025 Management Information Circular


Letter to Shareholders
General Information
Business of the Meeting
Directors
Governance
Executive Compensation
Appendices

Position Ownership Requirement
Non-Executive Directors Shares which have a fair market value equal to no less than 3 times the annual cash retainer, plus the annual award of DSUs.

The minimum ownership levels required pursuant to the Stock Ownership Guidelines Policy are expected to be satisfied by each Participant within five years after first becoming subject to these ownership guidelines or to the similar guidelines that were adopted by GMIN TZ as of January 26, 2021. Once the Participant's level of Share ownership satisfies the applicable minimum ownership requirements pursuant to the policy, Participants are expected to maintain such minimum ownership levels for as long as the Participant is subject to the Stock Ownership Guidelines Policy.

The value of the Participant's Share ownership requirement is based upon the Participant's then current base salary or annual retainer and the determination of whether a Participant meets the applicable threshold will be made in January of each year and will be based on the average closing price of the Shares on the TSX for the 20 trading days preceding and including December 31st of the prior calendar year.

In the event of an increase in a Participant's base salary or annual retainer, the Participant will have five years from the time of the increase to acquire any additional Shares as may be required to obtain the minimum ownership requirements under the Stock Ownership Guidelines Policy. If Participant falls below the relevant threshold due solely to a decline in the value of the Shares, the Participant will not be required to acquire additional Shares to meet such threshold, but will be required to retain all Shares then held (except for Shares withheld to pay withholding taxes or the exercise price of stock options) until such time as the Participant again attains the applicable threshold. The following is used in determining Share ownership:

  • Shares owned directly by the Participant (including through open market purchases or acquired and held upon vesting of the Corporation's equity awards);
  • Shares owned jointly or separately by the Participant's spouse and/or minor children;
  • Shares held in trust for the benefit of the Participant, the Participant's spouse and/or minor children;
  • Shares held through one or several wholly-owned corporate entities; and
  • vested RSUs and, for directors, the DSU balance at the time of determination.

For greater certainty, unexercised Options (whether vested or unvested) do not count toward the minimum Share ownership requirements.

Recovery of Incentive Compensation Policy

The Board has adopted a recovery of incentive compensation policy (the "Clawback Policy") to authorize the Board to recover from the persons holding one or more of the following offices with respect to the Corporation: (i) the President & Chief Executive Officer, (ii) the Chief Financial Officer, and (iii) any other person holding a title of president, a senior vice president, a vice president or any other officer duly appointed by the Board (collectively, the "Officers"), all or a portion of the respective Incentive Compensation (as defined in the policy) in instances where a Recalculation Event (as defined below) would be applicable.

The occurrence of the following events will constitute a "Recalculation Event" requiring a recovery: (i) the amount of the Incentive Compensation received by an Officer was calculated, in whole or in part, based on, or contingent on, achieving (a) certain financial results that are subsequently the subject of or affected

by a restatement of all or a portion of the Corporation's financial statements, or (b) reported reserves or resources which are subsequently determined to be overstated; (ii) gross negligence, intentional misconduct or other dishonest or fraudulent behaviour that caused or resulted in, in whole or in part, such restatement, misstatement or overstatement; and (iii) Incentive Compensation payments received that would have been lower had the financial results, production results or reserves and resources been properly reported.

In addition, the Board may determine whether any other facts, circumstances or legal obligations make it appropriate for the Board to consider, in the exercise of its fiduciary obligations to the Corporation and its Shareholders, that a recovery of Incentive Compensation is necessary. In such event, the Board will determine the amount, if any, of the difference between the Incentive Compensation received and the actual compensation payable as a result of a Recalculation Event to be recovered.

Upon the occurrence of a Recalculation Event, before the Board determines to seek recovery and upon receipt of the recommendations of the HR Committee, the Board will provide to the relevant Officer(s) written notice and the opportunity to be heard at a meeting of the Board, which may take place either in person or by way of a conference call, as determined by the Board. If the Board determines to seek a recovery, it will provide a written demand for repayment from the Officer. Should the Officer not, within a reasonable period, tender repayment in response to such demand, and should the Board determine that he or she is unlikely to do so, the Board will seek proper legal recourses against the Officer for the purposes of obtaining such repayment.

A copy of the Clawback Policy is available on the Corporation's website at https://gmin.gold in the "Corporate Governance" section.

Fitness for Work and Consumption of Intoxicating Substances Policy

The Board has adopted the above-captioned policy (the "Fitness for Work Policy") to affirm and document its commitment to maintaining a safe, healthy and productive work environment and sets forth the Corporation's zero tolerance policy regarding the use of Drugs or Alcohol (each, as defined in the policy). The objectives of the policy are to:

  • ensure that all employees and contractors are Fit for Duty (as defined in the policy);
  • ensure that all supervisors and managers have clear direction on how to assess the need for testing, initiate testing protocols and address Alcohol and Drug related issues; and
  • deter the use of Alcohol, Drugs and other substances which may impair judgment, work performance or safety.

The Fitness for Work Policy also provides useful definitions and relevant concepts (e.g., Fit for Duty, reasonable cause, worksite), establishes the respective responsibilities of the Corporation and its employees, and sets forth guidelines pertaining to, inter alia:

  • work rules applicable to Drug and Alcohol, and procedures for testing (reasonable cause, post-incident, return to duty, post treatment, failure to test); and
  • consequences of a policy violation.

Social Media Policy

The Board has adopted a social media policy (the "Social Media Policy") to govern the use of social media (as such expression is defined in the policy) with respect to the Corporation. The Corporation acknowledges that, while there are benefits to social media, use of or appearance on social media platforms may give rise to certain risks to the Corporation's business, including those relating to confidential and proprietary information, reputation, consistency of brand messaging, and compliance with laws. In particular, material information concerning the Corporation cannot be discussed, posted or published publicly unless it has first been broadly disseminated in compliance with applicable securities laws, by way of a press release or a conference call (in accordance with the Corporate Disclosure Policy).

That policy stipulates that only officers and Authorized Spokespersons (as defined in the policy) of the Corporation are authorized to post, publish or distribute material or other communications about the Corporation using the Corporation's authorized social media channels for the purposes of the Corporation's marketing, investor relations or other business purposes. Corporation-related information, including investor relations material, disclosed through social media should be viewed as an extension of the Corporation's formal continuous disclosure record. Authorized Spokespeople must exercise care in ensuring that social media communications:

  • provide sufficient detail and are presented in an appropriate manner to ensure that social media users are able to understand the substance and significance of the information being discussed;
  • are not overly promotional or exaggerated or otherwise inconsistent with information already disclosed by the Corporation;
  • are factual and balanced, giving unfavourable news equal prominence to favourable news; and
  • provide the same cautionary statements, safe harbour disclaimers and other required disclosure (or a link to the full disclosure).

Related-Party Transactions

Pursuant to its charter, the A&R Committee is responsible for reviewing all related-party transactions to ensure they reflect legal and regulatory requirements. The A&R Committee reports to the Board on all such transactions, if any. In determining whether a related party transaction is advisable, the A&R Committee considers, among other things, whether the terms and conditions of such transaction are at fair market value and whether such terms and conditions exceed established market benchmarks. In 2024, there were no related-party transactions other than the contract concluded, as of September 1st, 2024, between the Corporation and GMS.

Business Relationship with G Mining Services Inc.

On January 26, 2021, GMIN TZ entered into a master services agreement (the "MSA") with GMS, a related party with two common directors: (i) Louis Gignac, Chairman of the Board of the Corporation and also GMS' Chairman, and (ii) Louis-Pierre Gignac, director, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and also a director of GMS. In addition to formalizing the business relationship pursuant to which GMIN TZ had access to a wide range of services provided by GMS on an as-needed basis and on arm's length terms, the MSA has provided for proper governance with respect to related party transactions. The MSA, and each contract concluded between the Corporation and GMS were approved by GMIN TZ's audit committee of its board of directors.

In connection with the Arrangement, with effect as of July 15, 2024, the MSA was assigned from GMIN TZ to the Corporation and all obligations of GMIN TZ thereunder were assumed by the Corporation. Under the MSA, the Corporation and GMS concluded, as of September $1^{\text{st}}$ , 2024, a contract for the provision by GMS to the Corporation of a feasibility study and detailed engineering services in respect of the Oko West Project, which is currently in force and effect.

The GMIN TZ board of directors also adopted, on January 26, 2021, formal guidelines regarding the business relationship and approval process for the MSA between GMS and GMIN TZ. These guidelines confirmed that the GMIN TZ board has mandated its audit committee to oversee all matters relating to the performance of the MSA by GMIN TZ and the latter's business relationship 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 TZ adhered to proper governance practices in all respects in relation to the MSA, and (ii) GMIN TZ was at all time compliant with applicable laws, including applicable securities laws and the rules and policies of the TSX.

In connection with the Arrangement, GMIN's A&R Committee became the guardian of the GMIN-GMS business relationship under the MSA and it has since overseen GMIN's compliance with these formal guidelines.

  • enabling GMIN to attract and retain high performing executives
  • aligning pay and performance in a way that is transparent and understood by all stakeholders

  • 26% of NEO total compensation is fixed salary
  • 74% of NEO total compensation is “at risk” and tied to the Corporation’s performance, with the equity-based component making up at least 42% of the total direct compensation

The large equity component of annual compensation and the significant value held in Shares means that changes in the Corporation's Share price directly impact the value of the compensation ultimately realized by executives.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Named Executive Officers

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the NEOs of the Corporation were:

  • Louis-Pierre Gignac, the current President & Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of the Corporation who was appointed to such position as of November 25, 2020;
  • Julie Lafleur, the current Vice President, Finance & Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") of the Corporation who was appointed to such position as of December 15, 2020;
  • Dušan Petković, the current Senior Vice President, Corporate Strategy ("SVP") of the Corporation 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 ("Secretary") of the Corporation who was appointed to such position as of December 15, 2020; and
  • Eduardo Leão, the current Vice President, Sustainability ("VP Sust") of the Corporation who was appointed to such position as of June 6, 2023.

Objectives of Executive Compensation

The compensation of the NEOs has been established with a view to attracting and retaining persons critical to the Corporation's short- and 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 the Corporation's stage of development at the time such compensation is determined. The Board believes that, overall, the executive compensation is balanced to avoid the potential risk of maximizing compensation without regard for the risks assumed by the Corporation.

Through its compensation practices, the Corporation seeks to provide value to the Shareholders through a strong executive leadership. Specifically, the NEOs' compensation structure seeks to:

(i) attract and retain talented and experienced executives necessary to achieve the Corporation's strategic objectives;

(ii) motivate and reward NEOs whose knowledge, skills and performance are critical to the Corporation's success;

(iii) align the interests of the NEOs and the 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 the Corporation's compensation practices and having regard for its current stage of development, the Corporation determined the specific amounts of compensation to be paid to each of its NEO based on a number of factors, including mainly:

Elements of Executive Compensation

The executive compensation program for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, contained four basic elements, including a cash-based base salary, a short-term incentive program, an equity-based, long-term incentive component (i.e. the Omnibus Plan) as well as benefits and wellness. Included in the Omnibus Plan are Options, RSUs and DSUs (while PSUs and SARs are also included, none have been awarded so far). Components of the executive compensation program are illustrated below:

Component Objective/Rationale
Base Salary · Fixed cash salary is established in the last month of each year and reviewed against market survey results. · Adjustments, if deemed appropriate, are determined in the last month of each year and are used to determine other elements of compensation and benefits.
Annual Short-Term Incentive (STIP) · Paid at the discretion of the Board and upon the achievement of Board approved corporate and individual performance metrics. · Determined in the last month of each year. · Target awards represent a percentage of base salary and based on a combination of corporate and individual performance. · Each officer has a target annual bonus and payout range, reflected as a percentage of base salary, relative to both the executive's position in the Corporation and the Corporation's peer group. · Established using balanced scorecards designed to closely align NEOs' overall compensation with achievement of both corporate and personal objectives.
Long-Term Compensation (Omnibus Plan) · Grant currently includes a combination of RSUs and Options. A PSU component is in development and currently expected to be implemented in 2026 (i.e., value likely to be determined at year end 2025, and actual award in Q1 2026). · Links a significant part of remuneration to long-term Share price performance. · Value determined in the last month of each year and actual awards normally granted in the first quarter of following year. · Awarded at a market competitive level to attract, retain and reward the executives for contributing to the success of the Corporation over time. · Ultimate realized value is based on the evolution of GMIN's Share price over time. · Long term incentive grant values are targeted on a percentage of base salary depending on the executive's position.
Benefits · Employee benefits are necessary to maintain market competitiveness and to ensure employee well-being. · Designed to be competitive overall with equivalent positions, to promote greater executive satisfaction through choice, and to manage program and administrative costs.

Compensation Governance

The Board is responsible for determining compensation for the NEOs and other officers of the Corporation. In this regard, the Board has established the HR Committee, which is mandated to cover matters related to executive development, succession planning and human resources generally, as well as remuneration and compensation. The HR Committee is comprised of a majority of independent directors responsible for, inter alia, establishing the compensation of the NEOs and making recommendations to the Board in respect of same and related matters.

Compensation

The Board ultimately establishes the compensation of the directors and the NEOs, with the President & CEO abstaining from discussing and voting as director on any Board resolutions relating to his own compensation (including base salary and annual adjustments thereto) as President & CEO.

Compensation Consultant

For its November 2024 compensation review and analysis, the HR Committee has retained WTW⁴, an independent advisory firm that provides counsel to boards and directors on matters relating to executive compensation and governance, to assist the HR Committee in refining the Corporation's compensation practices for directors, officers and employees, and to refine the Corporation's peer group. The HR Committee pre-approved the mandate of WTW and approved the fee associated with the execution of WTW's mandate.

2024 Peer Benchmarking Group

As mentioned hereinabove, during the financial year ended December 31, 2024, to better determine future compensation payable, the Corporation retained the services of WTW to review and benchmark compensation of the Corporation's directors and officers, including the NEOs. The benchmark was performed against companies of a similar size and stage of development in the mining industry.

WTW's analysis and market data were considered by the HR Committee and formed the basis of its decisions with respect to the Corporation's compensation structure. In particular, the HR Committee made recommendations to the Board regarding STIP determinations, adjustments to salaries for 2025, STIP and long-term incentive targets, as well as recommendations regarding the 2025 corporate and individual objectives.

WTW was asked to advise on the development of a peer group of companies which is the primary source of market data used to benchmark the Corporation's NEO compensation. The peer group includes Canadian mining companies of similar size and complexity to the Corporation with which the Corporation competes for executive talent. The peer group was selected based on the following factors which the HR Committee considered relevant:

Size and Scope / Complexity Peer companies comparable in size and complexity to the Corporation.
Peer group screening focused on market capitalization, total assets and revenue.
Stage of Development TSX-listed companies.
The Corporation was compared primarily to production companies, but also to advanced development companies with forecast 2025 production.
Industry / Business Operations Gold is the main industry classification, but other mining industry classifications were also included (silver, precious metals and diversified metals & mining), reflecting the market for talent in the industry.
Geography While the Corporation's producing asset is located in Brazil and its development project is in neighboring Guyana, GMIN is headquartered in Québec and its market for executive talent is primarily Canadian; accordingly, it is compared to North American-headquartered companies.

⁴ WTW was initially retained in respect of the November 2023 compensation review and analysis by the HR Committee.

WTW provided market data comparing the compensation paid to the Corporation's NEOs to comparable roles among peers. The HR Committee made adjustments to NEO compensation to ensure it is competitive and appropriately aligned with shareholder interests.

In light of the foregoing parameters, WTW's findings, observations and suggestions can be summarized as follows:

  • some elements of GMIN's compensation mix were no longer competitive given GMIN's significant growth in recent years, and its transition from a project developer to a significant producer;
  • the overall value of GMIN's compensation mix was below market; and
  • adjustments were suggested to ensure each NEO's compensation (and that of other senior executives) was more appropriately positioned.

The HR Committee reviewed and discussed WTW's findings, observations and suggestions. In the course of that review, the HR Committee:

  • adopted the peer group composition and expressed its general agreement with WTW's findings, observations and suggestions;
  • considered the Corporation's overall performance and compared it to that of its peers in 2024;
  • considered the successful transition of the Corporation from developer to producer in 2024;
  • considered the significance of the Arrangement on the Corporation's perspective (notably its evolution compared to the outlook for peers); and
  • noted the importance of including both one-year and two-year out perspectives to determine 2024 compensation adjustments.

Statement of Executive Compensation

The Corporation's Statement of Executive Compensation, made in accordance with the requirements of Form 51-102F6 – Statement of Executive Compensation, is set out below and contains information about the compensation paid to, or earned by, the Corporation's CEO, CFO and the three most highly compensated officers of the Corporation earning more than $150,000 in total compensation during the year ended December 31, 2024.

2024 Compensation Decisions

Base Salary

The Corporation's approach is to pay its NEOs a base salary that is competitive with those of officers in similar companies while taking into account its stage of development at the time compensation is determined. The Corporation 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. The Corporation 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 and the terms of such NEO's employment agreement.

The Corporation has entered into written employment agreements with the NEOs. The base salaries of the NEOs were determined by resolutions adopted by the 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 the Corporation and each of the latter. Base salaries and annual adjustments thereto are approved by the Board.

The HR Committee considered WTW's findings in making its final recommendations to the Board for, inter alia, the compensation mix of each NEO (2024 bonus payouts and 2025 compensation), notably to increase the NEO salaries. Such increases were approved with a view to start bringing the Corporation's compensation structure closer to that of the peer group of companies. It was also noted that, while the Corporation was in its development phase, it managed compensation conservatively to ensure that shareholder funds were conserved prior to the Corporation generating revenue.

The percentage increase in salary for 2025 is 33% in BRL (converted to 22% using Canadian currency).

Short-Term Incentive Plan

The Corporation has established the STIP for the financial year ended December 31, 2024. Under their respective employment terms and the 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 the Corporation's financial situation. The specific percentages are as follows:

STIP Target
President & CEO 125%
Vice President, Finance & CFO 100%
Senior Vice President, Corporate Strategy 100%
Vice President, Legal Affairs & Corporate Secretary 65%
Vice President, Sustainability 65%

Overall, the primary objective of the Corporation's bonus payments is to motivate and reward its NEOs for meeting the Corporation's short-term objectives using performance-based compensation guidelines with objectively determinable goals. Typically, under the STIP, bonuses are primarily based upon:

A. the Corporation's performance (in larger part); and
B. the performance and accomplishments of each NEO individually.

Under the STIP adopted for the financial year ended December 31, 2024, 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%

Long-Term Incentives

The Omnibus Plan was adopted by the Board upon the completion of the Arrangement on July 15, 2024. The Omnibus Plan replicates the omnibus plan of GMIN TZ, as it existed prior to the Arrangement.

The Omnibus Plan allows for the Board to grant long-term at-risk equity compensation to eligible participants in the form of Options, RSUs, PSUs, SARs and, for the non-executive directors, DSUs. Options, RSUs and DSUs have been granted by the Board in compliance with applicable laws and regulatory policy. As indicated hereinabove, it is contemplated to grant PSUs early in 2026.

The TSX policies limit the granting of Options, RSUs and DSUs to employees, officers, directors and consultants of GMIN and provide limits on the length of term, number and exercise price of such Options, RSUs and DSUs.

The following paragraphs summarize the main terms and conditions of the Omnibus Plan. Any capitalized undefined terms in this section shall have meaning ascribed to them in the Omnibus Plan.

The Omnibus Plan is a "rolling" plan pursuant to which the number of Shares that are issuable pursuant to the exercise of awards granted thereunder or under any other security-based compensation plan of the Corporation shall not exceed $7.5\%$ of the issued and outstanding Shares as at the date of any award grant.

The maximum number of Shares issuable under the Omnibus Plan and any other Security Based Compensation Arrangement to insiders at any time may not exceed in the aggregate $10\%$ of the outstanding Shares and the maximum number of Share issued under the Omnibus Plan and any other Security Based Compensation Arrangement to insiders within any one-year period may not exceed in the aggregate $10\%$ of the outstanding Shares.

A participant may not transfer or assign an award, including by operation of law, except on the death of the participant, by will or applicable laws of succession, provided that, subject to applicable law, a participant may designate in writing (on terms specified by the Corporation) a beneficiary to receive any benefits that are payable under the Omnibus Plan and any award on death.

To the extent any awards under the Omnibus Plan terminate or are cancelled for any reason prior to exercise, then any Shares subject to such awards (or portion(s) thereof) shall be added back to the number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Omnibus Plan and will again become available for issuance pursuant to the exercise of awards granted under the Omnibus Plan.

Appendices

Except as specifically provided therein, participants under the Omnibus Plan will not have any rights as a holder of any Shares covered by an award, including the right to vote or to receive dividends or other distributions on the Shares. Shares will not be deemed to have been issued pursuant to the Omnibus Plan with respect to any portion of an award (other than for Options) that is settled in cash.

The Omnibus Plan provides for customary adjustments or substitutions, as applicable, in the number of Shares that may be issued under the Omnibus Plan in the event of a change in the capital of the Corporation, 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 the Corporation's assets to Shareholders. The Omnibus Plan also provides, with respect to DSUs and RSUs, for the payment of dividend equivalents in the amount that a participant would have received if DSUs and RSUs had settled for Shares on the record date of dividends declared by the Corporation provided that if the number of securities issued as dividend equivalents, together with all of the Corporation's other share-based compensation, would exceed 7.5% of issued Shares then such dividend equivalents will be paid in cash.

Plan Administration

The Omnibus Plan is administered by the Board, which may delegate its authority to any duly authorized committee of the Board. Except as otherwise provided in the Omnibus Plan, the Board has sole and absolute discretion and authority to administer and interpret the Omnibus Plan, the award agreements and the awards, including:

(a) to determine the Eligible Persons to whom awards may be granted under the Omnibus Plan;

(b) to grant awards under the 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 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 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 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 Omnibus Plan or any award agreement or award.

Change of Control

If there is a change of control of the Corporation, the 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 corporation 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 corporation 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 Board; or (vi) permit the surrender of outstanding 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 Board determines that no amount would have been realized upon the exercise or settlement of the award, then the award may be cancelled by the Corporation without payment of consideration).

Incentive Awards

Options

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Omnibus Plan and any policies of the TSX, the Board may grant Options to participants in such amounts and upon such terms (including the exercise price, duration of the Options, the number of Shares to which the Option pertains, and the conditions, if any, upon which an Option shall become vested and exercisable) as the Board shall determine.

The exercise price of the Options will be determined by the Board at the time any 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 the Corporation in full.

Unless otherwise specified in an award agreement, and subject to any provisions of the Omnibus Plan or the applicable award agreement relating to acceleration of vesting of the Options, the Options shall vest subject to TSX policies, and the 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 Board may determine the expiry date of each Option. Subject to a limited extension if an Option expires during a "black out period", Options may be exercised for a period of up to ten years after the grant date.

Share Units

The Board is authorized to grant RSUs and DSUs evidencing the right to receive Shares (issued from treasury), cash based on the value of a Share or a combination thereof at some future time to eligible persons under the Omnibus Plan.

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 RSUs, but their vesting is, in whole or in part, conditioned on the attainment of specified performance metrics as may be determined by the Board.

The terms and conditions of grants of 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 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.

The Board is authorized to grant SARs in conjunction with the granting of Options, or on a stand-alone basis, to any participant under the Omnibus Plan. The vesting terms of a SAR are set forth in the participant's award agreement. Upon the exercise of a SAR, a participant will be entitled to receive from the Corporation a cash payment equal to the In-the-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 of the Shares on the date a SAR is exercised or settled exceeds the SAR Base Amount, and (ii) the number of Shares under the 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 Options.

The Corporation, in its discretion, instead of making a cash payment, may issue or deliver to the participant that number of 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 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 Options will continue to be subject to the 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 Options; and (iii) any vested PSUs, RSUs or other awards (other than Options) held by the participant on the Termination Date will be settled by the Corporation as soon as practicable after the Termination Date in accordance with the Omnibus Plan.

Upon the death or disability of a participant, (i) all unvested PSUs, RSUs or other awards (other than Options) held by the participant on the Termination Date will vest on a proportionate basis; (ii) any unvested Options will automatically vest on the Termination Date; (iii) the Option Expiry Date of vested Options (including automatically vested 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, RSUs or other awards (other than Options) held by the participant on the Termination Date will be settled by the Corporation as soon as practicable after the Termination Date in accordance with the Omnibus Plan.

Amendment

The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Omnibus Plan and any award agreement and outstanding awards, or any part of the Omnibus Plan or any award agreement or award, at any time and for any purpose, without notice to or approval of any person, including the Shareholders of the Corporation, except where required by law, including the rules, regulations and policies of the TSX.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Board may make the following types of changes or amendments to the Omnibus Plan or any award agreement or award without seeking shareholder approval:

Parameters for Granting Equity-Based Incentives to NEOs

The Corporation's granting of equity-based incentives to NEOs under the 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 the Corporation 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. The Corporation generally expects that future grants of equity-based awards should be based on the following factors:

(a) the terms and conditions of the employment agreements of NEOs;
(b) each NEO's past performance;
(c) each NEO's anticipated future contribution;
(d) the prior Option and RSU grants to each NEO;
(e) the percentage of equity owned by each NEO;
(f) the level of vested and unvested Options and RSUs held by each NEO; and
(g) the market practices (as they evolve over time) and each NEO's respective responsibilities and performance.

The Corporation has not set specific target levels for the granting of Options to NEOs but seeks to be competitive with similar companies in its industry.

Notes:

(1) These amounts represent the fair value of the RSUs granted to the respective NEOs. These amounts were calculated by multiplying the number of RSUs granted by the "market price" of the Shares on the date of the grant. These "market prices" per Share were $3.20 (2023 RSUs), and $8.66 (2024 RSUs).

(2) The grant date fair value of option-based awards was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. The Black-Scholes model was selected as it is a widely used financial method for determining the fair value of Options. The following assumptions were used in the calculation of the fair value of Options granted on the date of grant:

Grant Date Expected Volatility Expected Average Life Risk Free Interest Rate Fair Value per option
July 26, 2024 52% 3 years 3.62% $3.32
January 30, 2023 64% 3 years 3.38% $1.44
September 8, 2022 64% 5 years 3.33% $1.74
January 4, 2022 64% 5 years 1.25% $1.79

(3) Relates to short-term annual incentive paid as cash bonuses. The Corporation does have a non-equity long-term incentive plan in place which would include non-equity incentive plan compensation related to a period longer than one year.

(4) Bonuses earned during the year ended December 31, 2024, were paid in two tranches, one in October 2024 and the second one early 2025, and were determined as per the guidelines set forth above under "Short-Term Incentive Plan"; and they included a deferred portion of the prior year bonus that was tied to the completion of the TZ project. They were approved according to the following parameters (the "%" represents the percentage of base salary):

Performance Graph

The following graph tracks the effect of $100 invested in Shares on December 31, 2020, against a total shareholder return of the S&P/TSX Composite Index and the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index for the four most recently complete financial years of the Corporation. It should be noted that, prior to its reorganization and recapitalization that occurred in the last quarter of 2020, the Corporation's predecessor (GMIN TZ, then known as Kanadario Gold Inc.) was, for all practical intents and purposes, a dormant entity.

S&P/TSX Composite Index $100.00 $121.74 $111.19 $120.22 $141.85
S&P/TSX Global Gold Index $100.00 $92.57 $88.07 $90.05 $106.82

Analysis of Executive Pay Trends and Corporation Performance

The Shares outperformed the S&P/TSX Composite Index by approximately $63.28\%$ and outperformed the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index by approximately $62.68\%$ over the 4-year period between December 30, 2020, and December 31, 2024. On an absolute return basis, GMIN's Share price increased by $81.28\%$ during 2024. Compensation levels are in line with the Corporation's performance and with peers and are sufficient for the Board to conclude that the compensation strategy is working effectively both for Shareholders and for the NEOs.

While Share price is an important factor, the share price valuation of gold producers, as well as exploration and development companies, fluctuates with changes to the underlying commodity prices. The Board has remained focused on ensuring that the majority of executive officer compensation is at risk and awarded through a balanced approach of annual cash incentives and long-term incentives.

Executive Employment Agreements, Termination and Change of Control Provisions

An executive employment agreement was entered into between the Corporation 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 May 25, 2023, for Mr. Leao. Each such agreement contains the following main provisions:

(a) the full position description for each NEO as approved by the Board, and included as a Schedule thereto;
(b) the compensation and benefits for each NEO (salary, vacations, STIP, Omnibus Plan and eventual participation in any additional long-term incentive plan, reimbursement of professional fees and work-related out-of-pocket expenses);
(c) each NEO's obligations to act in the Corporation's best interests and to comply with the Code, and his/her work location;

(d) each NEO's obligation regarding confidential information and intellectual property of the Corporation, as well as non-competition and non-solicitation provisions for one year following termination;

(e) the Corporation's entitlement to terminate at any time the employment of each NEO for "serious reason" (as defined therein);

(f) the Corporation'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 (except for Mr. Leao who will be entitled to the equivalent of 12 months) of:

(i) 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);

(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" (as defined therein), which aims to reaffirm the dedication of each of the NEOs and to set forth the respective rights and obligations of the Corporation 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 the Corporation other than for serious reason, or (ii) by the NEO in response to an "improper change" (as defined therein); 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 (1.5 times in the case of Mr. Leao):

(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);

(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 Options, RSUs and other security-based compensation held by the NEO shall vest and be immediately exercisable and remain exercisable for the balance of their original terms.

Pursuant to the Employment Agreements for each of the NEOs, the terms "Change of Control" and "Serious Reason" have the definitions noted below:

"Change of Control" means the occurrence of any one or more of the following events:

(1) a consolidation, merger, amalgamation, arrangement or other reorganization, acquisition or restructuring (in this definition, each a "Reorganization") involving the Corporation and another Person (as defined below), or a similar event or series of similar events as a result of which the holders of voting securities of

the Corporation prior to the completion of the Reorganization hold less than 40% of the votes attached to all of the outstanding voting securities of the successor corporation, the parent corporation of the Corporation or other Person (in this definition, each a "Successor Corporation") after completion of the Reorganization; or

(2) any Person or group of Persons acting jointly or in concert (in this definition, the "Acquiror") directly or indirectly acquires, or acquires control (including, without limitation, the power to vote or direct the voting) of voting securities of the Corporation (in this definition, an "Acquisition") which, when added to the voting securities owned of record or beneficially by the Acquiror or which the Acquiror has the right to vote or in respect of which the Acquiror has the right to direct the voting, would entitle the Acquiror and the Associates and Affiliates (as such capitalized terms are defined in the Canada Business Corporations Act) of the Acquiror to vote or direct the voting of 40% or more of the votes attached to all of the outstanding voting securities of the Corporation which may be voted to elect directors of the Corporation or any Successor Corporation (regardless of whether a meeting has been called to elect directors); or

(3) any Person or group of Persons acting jointly or in concert succeeds in having a sufficient number of its nominees elected to the Board such that such nominees, when added to any existing director remaining on the Board after such election who can be considered to be a nominee of such Person or group, will constitute the majority of the Board; or

(4) all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation are sold or otherwise transferred to a Person other than a subsidiary or an Affiliate of the Corporation; or

(5) there is a public announcement of a transaction that would constitute a Change of Control under clause (1), (2), (3) or (4) of this definition, if completed, and the Board determines that the Change of Control resulting from such transaction will be deemed to have occurred as of a specified date earlier than the date of any of the occurrences set out in clause (1), (2), (3) or (4), as applicable; or

(6) a resolution is adopted by the shareholders of the Corporation to wind up, dissolve or liquidate the Corporation; or

(7) the Board adopts a resolution to the effect that a Change of Control has occurred or is imminent; and

(8) notwithstanding the foregoing clauses of this section and for greater certainty, any Reorganization, Acquisition or other transaction contemplated by clauses (1), (2) or (3) of this section that is entered into by, or involves the Corporation in consideration of the Corporation thereby acquiring a significant mining project and under which the Corporation's then current management team would continue discharging its duties and responsibilities or, as applicable, would assume management of a Successor Corporation (e.g. any transaction commonly referred to as a reverse takeover), shall not be deemed to be a Change of Control.

In this definition, "Person" includes an individual, partnership, association, body corporate, trustee, executor, administrator, legal representative and any national, provincial, state or municipal government.

"Serious Reason" is defined in accordance with the Civil Code of Québec and includes, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, improper conduct by an officer which is materially detrimental to the Corporation or willful failure of such officer to properly carry out his duties; in either case, after written notice by the Corporation to such officer of such conduct or failure and an opportunity for that officer to correct the same within a reasonable time from the date of receipt of such notice, except in a case where the reason is so serious that the damage to the Corporation cannot be corrected within a reasonable time.

Statement of Director Compensation

The HR Committee is responsible for establishing the compensation to be paid to directors of the Corporation and to make recommendations in that regard for approval by the Board. Directors are eligible to a cash retainer and grants of DSUs under the Omnibus Plan, which is the equity retainer. Directors are entitled to elect to take all or a portion of their annual cash retainer in DSUs. At its meeting held on December 19, 2024, the Board passed resolutions determining each director's election, as follows:

Such resolution also prospectively provides for the quarterly granting of the DSUs. Such grants would occur on March 31, June 30, Sept. 30 and December 31 (or next business day, if any of these dates is not a business day) of 2025; provided that, in case a blackout is in place upon any of the foregoing dates, then the relevant date of grant will occur on the second full trading day (TSX) following the blackout lifting – this, to be consistent with GMIN's blackout policy. The number of DSU awards to be granted each quarter shall be determined by dividing the portion of the fee to be satisfied by DSUs by the Fair Market Value of the DSUs (such value being defined in the Omnibus Plan) on such date. This process will be repeated annually.

All directors are also entitled to be reimbursed for reasonable travel expenses incurred with respect to their attendance at meetings of the Board and of a committee of the Board. The cash fees earned by the directors who are not NEOs, during the year 2024, are set out in the table under "Director Compensation" hereinbelow.

As mentioned hereinabove, during the financial year ended December 31, 2024, WTW was retained to review and benchmark the compensation of the Corporation's directors. For its review of directors' compensation, WTW used the same peer group of companies as it did for NEOs.

The HR Committee reviewed and discussed WTW's findings and observations and made final recommendations to the Board for, inter alia, the compensation mix of directors. Overall, remuneration terms for directors who are not NEOs was then approved as detailed under the table under "Director Compensation" hereinbelow.

L'avis de convocation peut prévoir que l'assemblée sera tenue entièrement par un moyen de communication téléphonique, électronique ou autre permettant à tous les participants de communiquer adéquatement entre eux.

Dans le cas de détenteurs conjoints d'actions, l'avis est donné à celui dont le nom apparaît en premier lieu dans les livres de la Société et un avis qui a été ainsi donné est un avis suffisant à chacun de ces détenteurs conjoints.

Un actionnaire et toute autre personne habile à assister à une assemblée d'actionnaires peut toujours, d'une manière quelconque, renoncer à l'avis de convocation, soit avant, soit après la tenue de l'assemblée, et le fait pour cette personne d'assister à l'assemblée équivaut à une telle renonciation, sauf lorsqu'elle y assiste spécialement pour s'opposer aux délibérations parce que l'assemblée n'est pas régulièrement convoquée.

L'avis de convocation d'une assemblée des actionnaires à l'ordre du jour de laquelle des questions spéciales sont inscrites doit, notamment, énoncer:

a) leur nature, avec suffisamment de détails pour permettre aux actionnaires de se former un jugement éclairé sur celles-ci; et

ARTICLE 3.3 NOTICE OF MEETINGS

Notice specifying the time and place of each annual and of each special meeting of shareholders shall be given by sending the notice to each shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting to his latest address as shown on the books of the Corporation, to each director and to the auditor of the Corporation, not less than twenty-one (21) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the date fixed for such meeting.

The notice of meeting may determine that the meeting shall be held entirely by means of a telephonic, electronic or other communication facility that permits all participants to communicate adequately with each other during the meeting.

In the case of joint holders of a share, all notices shall be given to that one of them whose name stands first in the books of the Corporation, and notice so given shall be sufficient notice to each of such joint holders.

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 shareholders is 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 grounds that 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

b) le texte de toute résolution spéciale qui doit être soumise à l'assemblée.

Tous les points à l'ordre du jour tant lors d'une assemblée extraordinaire d'actionnaires que lors d'une assemblée annuelle d'actionnaires, à l'exception de l'examen des états financiers et du rapport de l'auditeur, du renouvellement de son mandat et de l'élection des administrateurs, sont réputés être des questions spéciales.

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.

ARTICLE 3.4 PRÉSIDENT D'ASSEMBLÉE

Le président du conseil ou, en son absence, le vice-président du conseil ou, en son absence, l'administrateur principal ou, en son absence, le président préside toute assemblée des actionnaires.

Advenant égalité des voix, le président de toute assemblée des actionnaires n'a pas droit à une deuxième voix ou voix prépondérante relativement à toute question soumise au vote de l'assemblée.

ARTICLE 3.5 QUORUM, VOTE ET AJOURNEMENT

Le quorum, tant pour l'assemblée annuelle des actionnaires que pour une assemblée extraordinaire des actionnaires de la Société, est atteint si au moins deux (2) personnes sont présentes en personne ou représentées par procuration, chacune étant un actionnaire ayant le droit de voter à cette assemblée, détenant au moins vingt-cinq pour cent (25%) des actions ayant le droit de voter à cette assemblée.

Les actes du ou des détenteurs de la majorité des actions représentées et comportant droit de vote à ladite assemblée doivent être

(b) the text of any special resolution to be submitted to the meeting.

All business transacted at a special meeting of shareholders and all business transacted at an annual meeting of shareholders, except consideration of the financial statements, auditor's report, election of directors and reappointment of the incumbent auditor, are deemed to be special business.

Irregularities in the notice or in the giving thereof to, or the accidental omission to give notice to, or the non-receipt of any such notice by any of the shareholders shall not invalidate any action taken by or at any such meeting.

ARTICLE 3.4 CHAIR OF THE MEETING

The Chair of the Board or, in his absence, the Vice Chair of the Board, or, in his absence, the Lead Director or, in his absence, the President shall preside at all meetings of the shareholders. If all of the aforesaid officers be absent or decline to act, the persons present may choose someone from among their number to act as chair of the meeting. In the event of an equality of votes, the chair of any meeting shall not be entitled to cast a second or casting vote in respect of any matter submitted to the vote of the meeting.

ARTICLE 3.5 QUORUM, VOTING AND ADJOURNMENTS

A quorum for an annual meeting of shareholders, as well as a quorum for a special meeting of shareholders, is present if at least two (2) persons are present in person or represented by proxy, each being a shareholder entitled to vote thereat, holding at least twenty-five (25%) of the shares entitled to vote at such meeting.

The acts of the holder or holders of a majority of the shares represented and carrying voting rights thereat shall be the acts of all


-7-
considérés comme les actes de tous les actionnaires, sauf les cas où le vote ou le consentement d'un nombre d'actions supérieur à la majorité est requis ou exigé par la Loi, par les statuts de la Société ou par les règlements de la Société. Sous réserve de ce qui précède, le vote du ou des détenteurs de la majorité des actions représentées 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. Dans tout autre cas, ceux qui sont présents en personne et ayant droit d'être comptés dans le but de former un quorum ont le pouvoir d'ajourner l'assemblée à l'endroit, à la date et à l'heure qu'ils peuvent alors fixer, par voie de résolution.

Il suffit, pour donner avis de tout ajournement de moins de trente (30) jours d'une assemblée, d'en faire l'annonce lors de l'assemblée en question.

Avis de tout ajournement, en une ou plusieurs fois, pour au moins trente (30) jours doit être donné de la manière et dans le délai stipulé à l'article 3.3 du présent règlement troisième.

Le quorum, à cette seconde assemblée ou assemblée ajournée, consistera uniquement de la ou des personnes qui y sont physiquement présentes et qui sont habiles à y voter.

À cette seconde assemblée ou assemblée ajournée, on peut validement traiter toute question qui aurait pu être validement traitée lors de l'assemblée originaire.

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 the Board 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 have power to adjourn the meeting to the place, date and hour fixed by them by resolution.

If a meeting of shareholders is adjourned for less than thirty (30) days, it is sufficient to make an announcement during such meeting.

Notice of any adjournment, on one or more occasions, for an aggregate of thirty (30) days or more, shall be given in the manner and within the delay stipulated in article 3.3 of this by-law three.

The quorum, at this second meeting or adjourned meeting, shall consist solely of the persons present thereat in person and entitled to vote.

At this second meeting or adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

ARTICLE 3.6 RIGHT TO VOTE

Il en est de même pour le représentant autorisé d'une personne morale ou d'une association s'il est dûment autorisé à cet effet par cette personne morale ou association.

Dans le cas de détenteurs conjoints d'actions, le vote du plus ancien de ceux-ci, en personne ou par procuration, est accepté, à l'exclusion du vote de tout autre détenteur conjoint des mêmes actions, et, à cette fin, le plus ancien de ceux-ci est celui dont le nom apparaît en premier lieu dans les livres de la Société.

Except as herein otherwise provided, the election of the directors shall take place at each annual meeting of the shareholders by a majority of the votes cast in respect of such election. It shall not be necessary that the voting for the election of the directors be conducted by poll, unless voting by poll is requested by someone present and entitled to vote at the meeting at which such election takes place.

a) s'il était présent à l'assemblée qui l'élit ou le nomme administrateur, à ce qu'il ne refuse pas d'occuper ce poste;

(a) if he becomes bankrupt or makes an authorized assignment of his property for the general benefit of his creditors or is declared insolvent; or
(b) if he is interdicted or becomes of unsound mind or his incapacity is otherwise declared by law.

At least twenty-five per cent (25%) of the directors must be Canadian residents. However, if the Corporation has less than four (4) directors, at least one director or the sole director, as the case may be, must be a Canadian resident.

Election or appointment of a director is subject to :

(b) if he was not present at the meeting, that (i) he consented to hold office as a director in writing prior to his election or appointment or within ten (10) days thereafter, or (ii) he has acted as director following the election or appointment.

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.

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 Chair of the Board, the Vice Chair of the Board, the Lead Director or by any two (2) directors.

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 vice-président du conseil ou l'administrateur principal, 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 présents ou 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 de exprès de s'opposer aux délibérations parce que ladite réunion n'est pas régulièrement convoquée.

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 Chair of the Board, the Vice Chair of Board, the Lead Director or by any two (2) directors, in their 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 of directors or of a committee of directors by means of telephonic, electronic or other

ARTICLE 4.9 QUORUM

Sous réserve de la Loi, les administrateurs peuvent, à l'occasion, par voie de résolution, fixer le quorum pour les réunions du conseil d'administration, mais, jusqu'à ce qu'ils l'aient fait, une majorité des administrateurs en fonction, à l'occasion, constitue un quorum.

Toute réunion du conseil d'administration où il y a quorum, à la condition que ce quorum soit constitué d'au moins vingt-cinq pour cent (25%) de résidents canadiens ou si la Société compte moins de quatre (4) administrateurs, à la condition qu'au moins l'un (1) des administrateurs présents soit résident canadien, est compétente pour exercer tous et chacun des mandats, pouvoirs et discrétions que la Loi, les statuts ou les règlements de la Société attribuent ou reconnaissent aux administrateurs, nonobstant toute vacance en leur sein.

Nonobstant les dispositions du paragraphe précédent, les administrateurs peuvent délibérer, même en l'absence du nombre de communication facility that allows all persons participating in the meeting to communicate adequately with each other, and a director participating in such a meeting by such means is deemed to be present at that meeting.

ARTICLE 4.9 QUORUM

Subject to the Act, the directors may, from time to time, fix by resolution the quorum for meetings of directors, but until otherwise fixed, a majority of directors in office from time to time shall constitute a quorum.

Any meeting of directors at which a quorum is present, provided that twenty-five per cent (25%) of the directors present are Canadian residents or, if the Corporation has less than four (4) directors, at least one (1) of the directors present is a Canadian resident, shall be competent to exercise all or any of the authorities, powers and discretions by the Act or under the articles or by-laws of the Corporation for the time being vested in or exercisable by the directors generally, notwithstanding any vacancy among the directors.

a) si, parmi les administrateurs absents, un résident canadien approuve les délibérations, par écrit ou par tout autre moyen de communication téléphonique, électronique ou autre; et
b) lorsque la présence de cet administrateur aurait permis de constituer le nombre de résidents canadiens dont la présence est requise.

ARTICLE 4.11 DESTITUTION DES ADMINISTRATEURS

Tout administrateur peut, par résolution ordinaire adoptée à toute assemblée extraordinaire des actionnaires convoquée dans ce but, être destitué, avec ou sans raison, et une autre personne dûment qualifiée peut, par résolution adoptée à cette même assemblée, être élue à sa place. La personne ainsi élue reste en fonction pour le temps seulement que l'administrateur dont il prend la place aurait été en fonction s'il n'avait pas été destitué.

(a) if a Canadian resident director who is unable to be present approves in writing or by telephonic, electronic or other communication facility, the business transacted at the meeting; and
(b) the required number of resident Canadian directors would have been present had that director been present at the meeting.

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.

ARTICLE 4.12 VACANCIES

Except for a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number or the minimum or maximum number of directors or from a failure to elect the number or minimum number of


-25-
fixe, minimal ou maximal d'administrateurs prévu par les statuts, les administrateurs alors en fonction, s'ils constituent quorum, peuvent combler les vacances survenues au sein du conseil. Tout administrateur ainsi nommé, sous réserve des dispositions de l'article 4.11 du présent règlement quatrième, demeure en fonctions pendant la durée non expirée du mandat de son prédécesseur et peut alors être réélu.

Si les administrateurs alors en fonctions ne constituent pas quorum ou si la vacance résulte du défaut d'éire 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. Si les administrateurs négligent de le faire ou s'il n'y a alors aucun administrateur en fonctions, tout actionnaire de la Société peut convoquer cette assemblée.

ARTICLE 4.13 RÉMUNÉRATION DES ADMINISTRATEURS

Chaque administrateur reçoit la rémunération que le conseil d'administration peut déterminer, à l'occasion, par voie de résolution.

Les administrateurs ont droit d'être remboursés par la Société pour toutes dépenses raisonnables de voyage (y compris les dépenses d'hôtel et celles incidentes) qu'ils peuvent encourir en assistant aux réunions des administrateurs ou aux assemblées des actionnaires ou qu'ils peuvent autrement encourir dans le cours ordinaire des affaires de la Société.

Tout administrateur qui, sur demande, exécute des services spéciaux pour la Société peut obtenir une rémunération supplémentaire que les administrateurs peuvent déterminer.

If the directors then in office do not constitute a quorum or if the vacancy results from an increase in the number or minimum number of directors or from a failure to elect the number or minimum number of directors required by the articles of the Corporation, the directors then in office shall immediately call a special meeting of the shareholders for the purpose of filling the vacancy. If the directors fail to call such a meeting or if there are no directors then in office, any shareholder of the Corporation may call said meeting.

ARTICLE 4.13 REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS

Each director shall receive such remuneration as the Board of Directors shall fix, from time to time, by resolution.

The directors shall be entitled to be repaid by the Corporation all such reasonable travelling (including hotel and incidental) expenses as they may incur in attending meetings of the directors or shareholders or which they may otherwise incur in the normal course of business of the Corporation.

Any director who, by request, performs special services for the Corporation may be paid such extra remuneration as the directors may determine.

Néanmoins, la signature de tous les administrateurs de la Société au bas de tout document (qui peut être signé en contrepartie) constituant un règlement ou une résolution qui pourrait être passé ou adopté par les administrateurs à une réunion donne à un tel règlement ou une telle résolution la même valeur et le même effet que si ce règlement ou cette résolution avait été passé ou adopté, selon le cas, par les administrateurs à une réunion dûment convoquée et tenue.
