MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

as at November 14, 2022

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This management information circular ("Circular") is provided in connection with the solicitation of proxies by management of Gallagher Security Corp. (the "Company") for use at an annual general and special meeting (the "Meeting") of the holders ("Shareholders") of common shares ("Common Shares") in the capital of the Company. The Meeting will be held on Monday, December 19, 2022 at 10:00 AM (Vancouver time) at Suite 750 – 1620 Dickson Ave. Kelowna, BC V1Y 9Y2 or at such other time or place to which the Meeting may be adjourned, for the purposes set forth in the notice of Meeting accompanying this Circular (the "Notice").

Although it is expected that the solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone, facsimile or other means of electronic communication. In accordance with National Instrument 54-101 Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer ("NI 54-101"), arrangements have been made with brokerage houses and other intermediaries, clearing agencies, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the Common Shares held of record by such persons and the Company may reimburse such persons for reasonable fees and disbursements incurred by them in doing so. The costs thereof will be borne by the Company.

These securityholder materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered owners of Common Shares. If you are a non-registered owner of Common Shares, and the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of Common Shares have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary ("Intermediary") holding Common Shares on your behalf.

Accompanying this Circular (and filed with applicable securities regulatory authorities) is a form of proxy for use at the Meeting (a "Proxy"). Each Shareholder who is entitled to attend at meetings of Shareholders is encouraged to participate in the Meeting and all Shareholders are urged to vote on matters to be considered in person or by proxy.

All time references in this Circular are references to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada time.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

Appointment of a Proxy

Those Shareholders who wish to be represented at the Meeting by proxy must complete and deliver a proper Proxy to Computershare Investor Services Ltd. (the "Transfer Agent"), at Proxy Department, 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, ON, M5J 2Y1.

The persons named as proxyholders in the Proxy accompanying this Circular are directors or officers of the Company, or persons designated by management of the Company, and are representatives of the Company's management for the Meeting. A Shareholder who wishes to appoint some other person (who need not be a Shareholder) to attend and act for him, her or it and on his, her or its behalf at the Meeting other than the management nominee designated in the Proxy may do so by either: (i) crossing out the names of the management nominees AND legibly printing the other person's name in the blank space provided in the accompanying Proxy; or (ii) completing another valid form of proxy. In either case, the completed form of proxy must be delivered to the Transfer Agent, at the place and within the time specified herein for the deposit of proxies. A Shareholder who appoints a proxy who is someone other than the management representatives named in the Proxy should notify such alternative nominee of the appointment, obtain the nominee's consent to act as proxy, and provide instructions on how the Common Shares are to be voted. The nominee should bring personal identification to the Meeting. In any case, the Proxy should be dated and executed by the Shareholder or an attorney authorized in writing, with proof of such authorization attached (where an attorney executed the Proxy).

In order to validly appoint a proxy, Proxies must be received by the Transfer Agent, at 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, ON, M5J 2Y1, at least 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, prior to the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. After such time, the chairman of the Meeting may accept or reject a Proxy delivered to him in his discretion but is under no obligation to accept or reject any particular late Proxy.

Revoking a Proxy

A registered shareholder who has returned a proxy may revoke it at any time before it has been exercised. A Shareholder who has validly given a proxy may revoke it for any matter upon which a vote has not already been cast by the proxyholder appointed therein. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked with an instrument in writing signed and delivered to either the registered office of the Company or the Transfer Agent at 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, ON, M5J 2Y1, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the date of the Meeting, or any postponement or adjournment thereof at which the proxy is to be used, or deposited with the chairman of such Meeting on the day of the Meeting, or any postponement or adjournment thereof. The document used to revoke a proxy must be in writing and completed and signed by the Shareholder or his or her attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized.

Also, a Shareholder who has given a proxy may attend the Meeting in person (or where the Shareholder is a corporation, its authorized representative may attend), revoke the proxy (by indicating such intention to the chairman before the proxy is exercised) and vote in person (or withhold from voting).

Only registered shareholders have the right to revoke a proxy. Non-registered shareholders who wish to change their vote must, at least seven days before the Meeting, arrange for their Intermediary to revoke the proxy on their behalf. Intermediaries may have different rules and procedures relating to proxy instructions and non-registered shareholders should contact their Intermediary for additional information.

Signature on Proxies

The Proxy must be executed by the Shareholder or his or her duly appointed attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer whose title must be indicated. A Proxy signed by a person acting as attorney or in some other representative capacity should indicate that person's capacity (following his or her signature) and should be accompanied by the appropriate instrument evidencing qualification and authority to act (unless such instrument has been previously filed with the Company).

Voting of Proxies

Each Shareholder may instruct his, her or its proxy how to vote his, her or its Common Shares by completing the blanks on the Proxy. Only registered shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting.

The Common Shares represented by the enclosed Proxy will be voted or withheld from voting on any motion, by ballot or otherwise, in accordance with any indicated instructions. If a Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Common Shares will be voted accordingly. In the absence of such direction, such Common Shares will be voted FOR THE RESOLUTIONS DESCRIBED IN THE PROXY AND BELOW. If any amendment or variation to the matters identified in the Notice is proposed at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, or if any other matters properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, the accompanying Proxy confers discretionary authority to vote on such amendments or variations or such other matters according to the best judgment of the appointed proxyholder. Unless otherwise stated, the Common Shares represented by a valid Proxy will be voted in favour of the election of nominees set forth in this Circular except where a vacancy among such nominees occurs prior to the Meeting, in which case, such Common Shares may be voted in favour of another nominee in the proxyholder's discretion. As at the date of this Circular, management of the Company knows of no such amendments or variations or other matters to come before the Meeting.

Advice to Beneficial Shareholders

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to a substantial number of the Shareholders who do not hold their Common Shares in their own names. Shareholders who do not hold their Common Shares in their own names (referred to in this Circular as "Beneficial Shareholders") should note that only proxies deposited by Shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of Common Shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those shares will not be registered in the Shareholder's name on the records of the Company. Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Shareholder's broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such Common Shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for The Canadian Depositary for Securities Limited, which acts as nominees for many Canadian brokerage firms). Common Shares held by brokers or their nominees can only be voted (for or against resolutions) upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, the broker/nominees are prohibited from voting shares for their clients. The Company does not know for whose benefit the Common Shares registered in the name of CDS & Co. or other brokers/agents are held. Therefore, Beneficial Shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their Common Shares are communicated to the appropriate person well in advance of the Meeting.

Non-registered holders who have not objected to their Intermediary disclosing certain ownership information about themselves to the Company are referred to as "non-objecting beneficial owners ("NOBOs"). Those non-registered holders who have objected to their Intermediary disclosing ownership information about themselves to the Company are referred to as "objecting beneficial owners" ("OBOs").

The Company does not intend to pay for Intermediaries to deliver the Meeting materials and Form 54-101F7 – Request for Voting Instructions Made by Intermediary to OBOs. As a result, OBOs will not receive the Meeting materials unless their Intermediary assumes the costs of delivery.

Generally, non-registered shareholders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting materials will receive either a voting instruction form or a form of proxy. Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholders' meetings. Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the Meeting. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge"). Broadridge typically provides a scannable voting instruction form in lieu of the Instrument of Proxy, mails those forms to the Beneficial Shareholders and asks Beneficial Shareholders to return the voting instruction forms to Broadridge. Alternatively, Beneficial Shareholders sometimes are provided with a toll-free telephone number or website information to deliver the Beneficial Shareholder's voting instructions. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder receiving a voting instruction form cannot use that voting instruction form to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting as the voting instruction form must be returned as directed by Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted. Accordingly, it is strongly suggested that Beneficial Shareholders return their completed voting instruction form as directed by Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting.

All references to Shareholders in this Circular, the Instrument of Proxy and the Notice are to Shareholders of record unless specifically stated otherwise. Where documents are stated to be available for review or inspection, such items will be made available upon request to registered Shareholders who produce proof of their identity.

NOTICE-AND-ACCESS

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Corporate Governance

Corporate governance relates to the activities of the Board, the members of which are elected by and are accountable to the Shareholders, and takes into account the role of the individual members of management who are appointed by the Board and charged with the day to day management of the Company. The Canadian Securities Administrators ("CSA") have adopted National Policy 58-201 Corporate Governance Guidelines, which provides non-prescriptive guidelines on corporate governance practices for reporting issuers such as the Company. In addition, the CSA have implemented National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices ("NI 58-101"), which prescribes certain disclosure by the Company of its corporate governance practices. This disclosure is presented below.

Board of Directors

The composition of the Board currently consists of the following three (3) members: Devinder Randhawa, Jamie Bannerman and Jeremy Wiebe. It is proposed that all three individuals will be nominated at the Meeting.

A director is independent if he or she has no direct or indirect "material relationship" with the Company. A "material relationship" is a relationship which could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of the director's independent judgment. Of the proposed nominees, Devinder Randhawa, CEO, is considered to be nonindependent.

Other Directorships

The following table sets forth the directors of the Company who are directors of other reporting issuers as at the date of this Circular:

Name Name of other reporting issuer
Devinder Randhawa Fission 3.0 Corp.; Shine Minerals Corp.;Strathmore Plus Uranium Corporation
Jamie Bannerman Shine Minerals Corp.

Orientation and Continuing Education

Orientation of new members of the Board is conducted informally by Management and members of the Board. The Company has not adopted formal policies respecting continuing education for Board members.

Ethical Business Conduct

Some of the directors of the Company also serve as directors and officers of other companies engaged in similar business activities. As such, the Board must comply with the conflict of interest provisions of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act, as well as the relevant securities regulatory instruments, in order to ensure that directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in respect of which a director or officer has a material interest. Any interested director is required to declare the nature and extent of his interest and is not entitled to vote at meetings of directors which evoke any such conflict.

Nomination of Directors

The Board considers its size each year when it considers the number of directors to recommend to the Shareholders for election at the annual general meeting. The Board takes into account the number of directors required to carry out the Board's duties effectively and to maintain diversity of views and experience. The Board has not established a nominating committee and this function is currently performed by the Board as a whole.

Compensation

To determine compensation payable, the board will review compensation paid for directors and executive officers of companies of similar size and stage of development in the mineral exploration industry and determine an appropriate compensation reflecting the need to provide incentive and compensation for the time and effort expended by the directors and senior management while taking into account the financial and other resources of the Company. In setting the compensation, the board intends to annually review the performance of the senior officers in light of the Company's objectives and consider other factors that may have impacted the success of the Company in achieving its objectives.

Board Committees

The Board currently has no standing committees other than the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board to assist in monitoring: (i) the integrity of the financial statements of the Company; (ii) the compliance by the Company with the legal and regulatory requirements; and (iii) the qualification, appointment, independence and performance of the Company's external auditors and senior financial executives.

Assessments

Neither the Company nor the Board has determined formal means or methods to regularly assess the Board, its Audit Committee, or the individual directors with respect to their effectiveness and contributions. Effectiveness is subjectively measured by comparing actual corporate results with stated objectives. The contributions of an individual director is informally monitored by the other Board members, having in mind the business strengths of the individual and the purpose of originally nominating the individual to the Board.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

Audit Committee Disclosure

Pursuant to Section 224(1) of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and National Instrument 52-110 of the Canadian Securities Administrators ("NI 52-110") the Company is required to have an audit committee (the "Committee") comprised of not less than three directors, a majority of whom are not officers, control persons or employees of the Company or an affiliate of the Company. NI 52-110 requires the Company, as a venture issuer, to disclose annually in its Circular certain information concerning the constitution of its audit committee and its relationship with its independent auditor, as set forth below.

The primary function of the Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its financial oversight responsibilities by: (i) reviewing the financial reports and other financial information provided by the Company to regulatory authorities and Shareholders; (ii) reviewing the systems for internal corporate controls which have been established by the Board and management; and (iii) overseeing the Company's financial reporting processes generally. In meeting these responsibilities the Committee monitors the financial reporting process and internal control system; reviews and appraises the work of external auditors and provides an avenue of communication between the external auditors, senior management and the Board. The Committee is also mandated to review and approve all material related party transactions.

Composition of the Audit Committee

The Committee is comprised of the following members: Jamie Bannerman and Jeremy Wiebe are independent and Devinder Randhawa is considered not to be independent. Each member of theCommittee is considered to be financially literate, as defined by NI 52-110, in that they have the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can presumably be expected to be raised by the Company's financial statements.

The members of the Committee are elected by the Board at itsfirst meeting following the annual Shareholders' meeting. Unless a chair is elected by the full Board, the members of the Committee designate a chair by a majority vote of the full Committee membership.

Relevant Education and Experience

All three Committee members have the ability to read and understand financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company's financial statements and are therefore considered "financially literate".

Devinder Randhawa: Mr. Randhawa is the President and founder of RD Capital Inc., a privately held consulting firm providing venture capital and corporate finance service to emerging companies since 1994 in the resources and nonresource sectors both in Canada and the United States. For more than 20 years Mr. Randhawa has been, and currently is, a director and/or officer of a number of TSX Venture Exchange listed companies. Mr. Randhawa obtained an MBA in Finance from the University of British Columbia in 1985.

Jamie Bannerman: Mr. Bannerman has significant experience providing consulting services for public and private companies. He has audit committee experience and has been involved in a variety of matters requiring financial literacy.

Jeremy Wiebe: Mr. Wiebe is a Partner with Drake Wellington Insurance and a Private Wealth Advisor with Raintree Financial, where he works with families and businesses to develop comprehensive financial plans and investment strategies. Mr. Wiebe is a Chartered Investment Manager, has a BA and MA from Trinity Western University, and previously was enrolled in PhD studies at McGill University.

The Company has adopted a Charter of the Audit Committee, a copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule "A".

Audit Committee Oversight

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

Reliance on Certain Exemptions

Since the effective date of NI 52-110, the Company has not relied on the exemptions contained in sections 2.4, 6.1.1(4), 6.1.1(5), 6.1.1(6) or 8 of NI 52-110. Section 2.4 provides an exemption from the requirement that the audit committee must pre-approve all non-audit services to be provided by the auditor, where the total amount of fees related to the nonaudit services are not expected to exceed 5% of the total fees payable to the auditor in the fiscal year in which the nonaudit services were provided. Sections 6.1.1(4) to 6.1.1(6) relate to the composition of the Committee. Section 8 permits a company to apply to a securitiesregulatory authority for an exemption from the requirements of NI 52-110, in whole or in part.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Committee has not adopted specific policies and procedures for the engagement of non-audit services. Subject to the requirements of NI 52-110, the engagement of non-audit services is considered by the Board, and where applicable the Committee, on a case-by-case basis.
