The accompanying Information Circular provides additional information relating to the matters to be dealt with at the Meeting and is supplemental to, and expressly made a part of, this notice of Meeting (the “Notice of Meeting”).
The Company’s board of directors has fixed November 21, 2024 as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. Each registered shareholder at the close of business on that date is entitled to such notice and to vote at the Meeting in the circumstances set out in the accompanying Information Circular.
Postal Strike
The Company is relying on CSA Coordinated Blanket Order 51-931 (the “Order”) for exemption from the requirements to send proxy-related materials (the “Meeting Materials”) for Meeting due to the current delays and suspension of mail service in Canada due to the nationwide strike of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers that commenced on November 15, 2024 (the “Postal Strike”).

The Company confirms that it has satisfied all of the conditions to rely on the Order.
The Meeting Materials are accessible on the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company's website at www.garibaldiresources.com. Shareholders of the Company are encouraged to access the Meeting Materials directly through the above-mentioned websites, or they may contact Steve Regoci, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, at 604-488-8828, or by email at [email protected] to request electronic copies of the Meeting Materials. In the event that the Postal Strike ends prior to the Meeting, the Company will mail the Meeting Materials in the normal course, but there can be no assurance that the Meeting Materials will be received by the shareholders prior to the Meeting.
The Company encourages shareholders to vote at the Meeting. Proxies must be received by no later than 10:00 AM PST on December 24, 2024.
How Registered Shareholders Can Vote
