MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

As at February 4, 2021 unless otherwise noted

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This Information Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Goldeneye Resources Corp. (the “Company”), at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the Notice of Meeting.

  • Note: The term “shareholder” as defined in the Business Corporations Act S.B.C. 2002, c.57 (the “ Act ”), except in section 385, means a person whose name is entered in a securities register of a company as a registered owner of a share of the company or, until such an entry is made for the company:

  • (a) in the case of a company incorporated before the coming into force of the Act, a subscriber, or

  • (b) in the case of a company incorporated under the Act, an incorporator.

It is expected that the solicitation will be primarily by mail. Proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone by directors, officers or employees of the Company at nominal cost. The cost of this solicitation will be borne by the Company.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXYHOLDER AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

A duly completed form of proxy will constitute the person(s) named in the enclosed form of proxy as the proxyholder for the shareholder (the “ Registered Shareholder ”).

The persons named in the accompanying Form of Proxy are nominees of the Company's management. A Registered Shareholder desiring to appoint some other person (who need not be a shareholder) to represent him at the meeting may do so either by:

  • (a) STRIKING OUT THE PRINTED NAMES AND INSERTING THE DESIRED PERSON'S NAME IN THE BLANK SPACE PROVIDED IN THE FORM OF PROXY; OR

  • (b) BY COMPLETING ANOTHER PROPER FORM OF PROXY.

In such event, the shareholder should notify the nominee of the appointment, obtain the nominee’s consent to act as proxy and provide instructions on how the shareholder’s shares are to be voted. The nominee should bring personal identification to the meeting.

Registered Shareholders electing to submit a proxy may do so by:

  • (a) completing, dating and signing the enclosed form of proxy and returning it to the Company’s transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc., by fax within North America at 1-866-249-7775, outside North America at (416) 263-9524, or by mail or by hand to the 9th Floor, 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1;

  • (b) using a touch-tone phone to transmit voting choices to a toll-free number. Registered shareholders must follow the instructions of the voice response system and refer to the enclosed proxy form for the toll-free number, the holder’s account number and the proxy access number; or

  • (c) using the internet through the website of the Company’s transfer agent at. Registered Shareholders must follow the instructions that appear on the screen and refer to the enclosed proxy form for the holder’s account number and the proxy access number;

in all cases ensuring that the proxy is received at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time fixed for the meeting. The Chair of the Meeting may waive the proxy cut-off without notice.

A shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it by an instrument in writing delivered to the office of Computershare Trust Company, Corporate Trust Department, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or to the Chairman of the meeting or any adjournment thereof, or in any other manner provided by law.

2

VOTING OF PROXIES

If the instructions as to voting indicated in the proxy are certain, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted on any poll and where a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon has been specified in the proxy, the shares will be voted on any poll in accordance with the specifications so made. IF A CHOICE IS NOT SO SPECIFIED, IT IS INTENDED THAT THE PERSON DESIGNATED BY MANAGEMENT IN THE ACCOMPANYING FORM OF PROXY WILL VOTE THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THE PROXY IN FAVOUR OF EACH MATTER IDENTIFIED ON THE FORM OF PROXY AND FOR THE NOMINEES OF MANAGEMENT FOR DIRECTORS AND AUDITOR.

The form of proxy accompanying this Information Circular confers discretionary authority upon the named proxyholder with respect to amendments or variations to the matters identified in the accompanying Notice of Meeting and with respect to any other matters which may properly come before the meeting. As of the date of this Information Circular, the management of the Company knows of no such amendment or variation or matters to come before the meeting other than those referred to in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

NON-REGISTERED HOLDERS

Only Registered Shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most shareholders of the Company are “non-registered” shareholders because the Shares they own are not registered in their own names but are instead registered in the name of the brokerage firm, bank or trust company through which they purchased the Shares. More particularly, a person is not a Registered Shareholder in respect of Shares which are held on behalf of that person (the “Non-Registered Holder”) but which are registered either: (a) in the name of an intermediary (an “Intermediary”) that the NonRegistered Holder deals with in respect of the Shares (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees of administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited (“CDS”)), of which the Intermediary is a participant.

Non-Registered Holders who have not objected to their Intermediary disclosing certain ownership information about themselves to the Company are referred to as “NOBOs”. Those Non-Registered Holders who have objected to their Intermediary disclosing ownership information about themselves to the Company are referred to as “OBOs”.

In accordance with the requirements of National Policy 54-101, Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer, of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Company has elected to send the notice of meeting, this information circular and proxy (collectively the “Meeting Materials”) directly to the NOBOs, and indirectly through Intermediaries to the OBOs.

The Intermediaries (or their service companies) are responsible for forwarding the Meeting Materials to each OBO, unless the OBO has waived the right to receive them.

Meeting Materials sent to Non-Registered Holders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials are accompanied by a request for voting instructions (a “VIF”). This form is instead of a proxy. By returning the VIF in accordance with the instructions noted on it a Non-Registered Holder is able to instruct the Registered Shareholder how to vote on behalf of the Non-Registered Shareholder. VIFs, whether provided by the Company or by an Intermediary, should be completed and returned in accordance with the specific instructions noted on the VIF.

In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of the Shares which they beneficially own. A Non-Registered Holder who receives a VIF cannot use the voting instruction form to vote shares directly at the Meeting. In order for a non-registered shareholder to vote his or her shares at the Meeting, the non-registered shareholder must write his or her name in the space provided on the VIF or using the internet and otherwise follow the instructions on the VIF. Alternatively, the non-registered shareholder can appoint another person (who does not have to be a shareholder) as his or her proxy Holder to vote his or her shares at the Meeting by writing the name of such person in the space provided on the voting instruction form or internet and otherwise follow the instructions on the voting instruction form. Your proxy appointment must be received prior to the proxy cut-off date.

The directors of the Company fixed February 4, 2021 as the record date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting.

To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Company, no persons or companies beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or exercised control over, shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all outstanding shares of the Company.

In order to approve a motion proposed at the Meeting, a majority of greater than 50% of the votes cast will be required unless the motion requires a special resolution, in which case a majority of not less than 66⅔% of the votes cast will be required. In the event that a matter to be voted upon at the Meeting requires disinterested shareholder approval, those shares will be excluded from the count of votes cast on such matter.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Company’s process for determining executive compensation is simple. In particular, the Company relies solely on board of director’s discussion without any formal objectives, criteria and analysis.

The objective of the Company’s compensation program is to compensate the executive officers for their services to the Company at a level that is both in line with the Company’s fiscal resources and competitive with companies at a similar stage of development.

The Board has not proceeded to an evaluation of the implications of the risks associated with the Company’s compensation policies and practices. Going forward, the Board intends to review at least once annually the risks, if any, associated with the Company’s compensation policies and practices at such time.

7

Share-Based and Option-Based Awards

The Company believes that encouraging its executives and employees to become shareholders is the best way of aligning their interests with those of its shareholders. Equity participation is accomplished through the Company’s stock option plan. Stock options are granted to senior executives taking into account a number of factors, including the amount and term of options previously granted and base salaries and competitive factors.

The Company’s Stock Option Plan is intended to emphasize management’s commitment to the growth of the Company and the enhancement of shareholders’ equity through, for example, improvements in its resource base and share price increments. See the section regarding the ratification of the Company’s “Stock Option Plan” for a description of the Company’s stock option plan and the process the Company uses to grant option based awards.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

PARTICULARS OF OTHER MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Stock Option Plan

In accordance with policy 4.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “ Exchange ”), “rolling plans” must receive shareholder approval yearly. As such, the directors of the Company are seeking shareholder approval of the Company’s 2020 “rolling” stock option plan (the “ Plan ”) reserving a maximum of 10% of the issued common shares at the time of completion of the Company’s initial public offering, for as long as the Company has not completed its Qualifying Transaction (within the meaning of Exchange Policy 2.4). From and after the date of the completion of the Company’s Qualifying Transaction, the aggregate number of common shares issuable under the Plan and previously granted options must not exceed 10% of the number of common shares issued and outstanding on the date the option is granted.

The purpose of the Plan is to provide incentive to employees, directors, officers, management companies and consultants who provide services to the Company and reduce the cash compensation the Company would otherwise have to pay.

10

The Plan complies with the current policies of the Exchange for Tier 2 issuers. Under the Plan, a maximum of 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company are proposed to be reserved at any time for issuance on the exercise of stock options. As the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan increases with the issue of additional shares of the Company, the Plan is considered to be a “rolling” stock option plan.

Management is seeking shareholder approval for the Plan and the approval of the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan in accordance with and subject to the rules and policies of the Exchange.

The following is a summary of the principal terms of the Option Plan.

The Option Plan provides that stock options may be granted to directors, senior officers, employees and consultants of the Company (and any subsidiary of the Company) and management company employees. For the purposes of the Option Plan, the terms “employees”, “consultants” and “management company employees” have the meanings set out in TSXV Policy 4.4. In addition, the term “director” is defined in TSXV Policy 4.4 to include directors, senior officers and management company employees.

Under the Option Plan, the Company’s Board may from time to time designate a director or other senior officer or employee of the Company as administrator (the “ Administrator ”) for the purposes of administering the Option Plan. The Administrator will be Mr. Bal, the Company’s CEO.

The Option Plan provides for the issuance of stock options to acquire at any time up to a maximum of 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Company (subject to standard anti-dilution adjustments). If a stock option expires or otherwise terminates for any reason without having been exercised in full, the number of Shares reserved for issuance under that expired or terminated stock option will again be available for the purposes of the Option Plan. Any stock option outstanding when the Option Plan is terminated will remain in effect until it is exercised or it expires.

The Option Plan provides that it is solely within the discretion of the Board to determine who should receive stock options and in what amounts, subject to the following conditions:

  • (a) options will be non-assignable and non-transferable except that they will be exercisable by the personal representative of the option holder in the event of the option holder’s death;

  • (b) options may be exercisable for a maximum of ten years from the date of grant;

  • (c) options to acquire no more than 5% of the issued Shares of the Company may be granted to any one person (including companies wholly-owned by such person) in any 12-month period;

  • (d) options to acquire no more than 2% of the issued Shares of the Company may be granted to any one consultant in any 12-month period;

  • (e) options to acquire no more than an aggregate of 2% of the issued Shares of the Company may be granted to an employee conducting “ Investor Relations Activities ” (as defined in Exchange Policy 1.1), in any 12-month period;

  • (f) at no time will options be issued which could permit at any time the aggregate number of Shares reserved for issuance under stock options granted to insiders (as a group) at any point in time exceeding 10% of the issued Shares;

  • (g) at no time will options be issued which could permit at any time the grant to insiders (as a group), within a 12-month period, of an aggregate number of options exceeding 10% of the issued Shares calculated at the date an option is granted to any insider;

  • (h) options held by an option holder who is a director, employee, consultant or management company employee must expire within one year after the option holder ceases to be a director, employee, consultant or management company employee, which time period the Company determines is reasonable;

  • (i) options held by an option holder who is engaged in Investor Relations Activities must expire within 30 days after the option holder ceases to be employed by the Company to provide Investor Relations Activities; and

  • (j) in the event of an option holder’s death, the option holder’s personal representative may exercise any portion of the option holder’s vested outstanding options for a period of one year following the option holder’s death.

The Option Plan provides that other terms and conditions may be attached to a particular stock option, such terms and conditions to be referred to in a schedule attached to the option certificate. Stock options granted to directors, senior officers, employees or consultants vest when granted unless otherwise determined by the Board on a case by case basis. Stock options granted to consultants performing Investor Relations Activities, will vest in stages over 12 months with no more than ¼ of the options vesting in any three-month period.

11

In addition, under the Option Plan a stock option will expire immediately in the event a director or senior officer ceases to be a director or senior officer of the Company as a result of:

  • (a) ceasing to meet the qualifications under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia);

  • (b) the passing of a special resolution by the shareholders; or

  • (c) an order made by a regulatory authority.

A stock option will also expire immediately in the event an employee ceases to be an employee as a result of termination for cause or an employee or consultant ceases to be an employee or consultant as a result of an order made by a regulatory authority.

The price at which an option holder may purchase a Share upon the exercise of a stock option will be as set forth in the option certificate issued in respect of such option and in any event will not be less than the “ Discounted Market Price ” (as defined in TSXV Policy 1.1) of the Company’s Shares as of the date of the grant of the stock option (the “ Award Date ”). The exercise price of stock options granted by the Company will typically be the closing price of the Company’s Shares on the day immediately preceding the relevant Award Date, or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Option Plan.

In no case will a stock option be exercisable at a price less than the minimum prescribed by the organized trading facility or the applicable regulatory authorities that would apply to the award of the stock option in question.

The Option Plan also provides that: (a) disinterested shareholder approval will be obtained for any reduction in the exercise price of an option held by an insider of the Company; and (b) options cannot be granted to employees, consultants or management company employees that are not bona fide employees, consultants or management company employees, as the case may be.

Shares will not be issued pursuant to stock options granted under the Option Plan until they have been fully paid for by the option holder. The Company will not provide financial assistance to option holders to assist them in exercising their stock options.

Shareholders may request a copy of the Option Plan by contacting the Company at the address or telephone number listed on the Notice of Meeting until the date of the Meeting and at the Meeting itself.

At the Meeting, the shareholders will be asked to consider, and if deemed advisable, to pass the following ordinary resolution:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, THAT:

  1. the Company’s stock option plan (the “ Option Plan ”) be and is hereby ratified, confirmed, authorized and approved;

  2. the reservation under the Option Plan of up to a maximum of 10% of the issued shares of the Company, on a rolling basis, as at the time of granting of the stock option pursuant to the Option Plan be and the same is hereby authorized and approved;

  3. such amendments to the Option Plan are authorized to may be made from time to time as the Board may, in its discretion, consider to be appropriate, provided that such amendments will be subject to the approval of all applicable regulatory authorities and in certain cases, in accordance with the terms of the Option Plan, the shareholders; and

  4. any one director or officer of the Company be and is hereby authorized and directed, for and on behalf of the Company, to execute and deliver all such documents, agreements and instruments, and to do all such other acts and things as such director or officer may determine to be necessary or advisable to give effect to the foregoing resolutions and the matters authorized thereby, such determination to be conclusively evidenced by the execution and delivery of such documents, agreements or instruments or the doing of any such act or thing.”

The Board unanimously recommends that the shareholders vote in favour of ratifying and approving the Option Plan. Unless the shareholder directs that his or her Shares be otherwise voted or withheld from voting in connection with the approval of the Option Plan, the persons named in the enclosed Proxy will vote FOR the approval of the above resolutions.

12

It is not known that any other matters will come before the meeting other than as set forth above and in the Notice of Meeting accompanying this Information Circular, but if such should occur the persons named in the accompanying Form of Proxy intend to vote on them in accordance with their best judgement, exercising discretionary authority with respect to amendments or variations of matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and other matters which may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

The Audit Committee’s primary duties and responsibilities are to:

  • (a) recommend to the Board the external auditor to be nominated for the purpose of preparing or issuing an auditor’s report or performing other audit, review or attest services for the Company;

  • (b) recommend to the Board the compensation of the external auditor;

  • (c) oversee the work of the external auditor engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an auditor’s report or performing other audit, review or attest services for the Company, including the resolution of disagreements between management and the external auditor regarding financial reporting;

  • (d) pre-approve all non-audit services to be provided to the Company or its subsidiaries by the Company’s external auditor;

  • (e) review the Company’s financial statements, Management’s Discussion and Analysis and annual and interim earnings press releases before the Company publicly discloses this information;

Composition : The Committee shall be comprised of a minimum three directors as determined by the Board. If the Company ceases to be a "venture issuer" (as that term is defined in NI 52-110), then all of the members of the Committee shall be free from any material relationship with the Company that, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of their independent judgment as a member of the Committee.

If the Company ceases to be a "venture issuer” then all members of the Committee shall also have accounting or related financial management expertise. For the purposes of the Company's Audit Committee Charter, the definition of "financially literate" is 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 reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company's financial statements. The members of the Committee shall be elected by the Board at its first meeting following the annual shareholders' meeting. Unless a Chair is elected by the full Board, the members of the Committee may designate a Chair by a majority vote of the full Committee membership.

Schedule “B” to the Information Circular of Goldeneye Resources Corp. (the "Company")

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

Corporate Governance is the process and structure used to direct and manage the business and affairs of an issuer with the objective of enhancing value for its owners. NI 58-101 requires the Company to disclose in this Information Circular a summary of the corporate governance policies that the Company has in place.

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors facilitates its independent supervision over management through regular meetings of the Board. The independent directors of the board do not hold regularly scheduled meetings at which non-independent directors are not in attendance. However, the size of the Board and the nature of the Company’s operations ensures that open and candid discussion among the independent directors is possible. Furthermore, the Board does not have a Chair, because the size of the Board enables all directors to participate and provide leadership to the Company.

Directors are considered to be independent if they have no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. A “material relationship” is a relationship that could, in the view of the Company’s Board of Directors, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgment.

Jatinder Bal and Geoff Balderson are executive officers of the Company and is therefore not considered to be “independent”. Paul Chow is the current independent director.

The mandate of the Board, as prescribed by the Act, is to manage or supervise management of the business and affairs of the Company and to act with a view to the best interests of the Company. In doing so, the Board oversees the management of the Company’s affairs directly and through its committees.

Directorships

Certain of the directors of the Company are also directors and/or officers of other reporting issuers (or equivalent) in a jurisdiction or a foreign jurisdiction as follows:

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Board of Directors is responsible for providing orientation for all new recruits to the Board. Each new director brings a different skill set and professional background, and with this information, the Board is able to determine what orientation to the nature and operations of the Company’s business will be necessary and relevant to each new director.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board of Directors relies on the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company’s governing corporate legislation and the common law to ensure the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Company. The Board of Directors has found that these, combined with the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual directors’ participation in decisions of the Board in which the director has an interest, have been sufficient.

Nomination of Directors

The Board of Directors considers its size each year when it considers the number of directors to recommend to the shareholders for election at the annual meeting of shareholders. The Board takes into account the number required to carry out the Board’s duties effectively and to maintain a diversity of views and experience.

The Board of Directors does not have a nominating committee. The Board of Directors is responsible for recruiting new members to the Board and planning for the succession of Board members.

Compensation

The Board of Directors is responsible for determining all forms of compensation, including long-term incentive in the form of stock options, to be granted to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the directors, and for reviewing the Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations respecting compensation of the other officers of the Company, to ensure such arrangements reflect the responsibilities and risks associated with each position. When determining the compensation of its officers, the Board considers: i) recruiting and retaining executives critical to the success of the Company and the enhancement of shareholder value; ii) providing fair and competitive compensation; iii) balancing the interests of management and the Company’s shareholders; and iv) rewarding performance, both on an individual basis and with respect to operations in general.

Other Board Committees

The Board has appointed an Audit Committee, the members of which are Geoff Balderson and Paul Chow. A description of the function of the Audit Committee can be found in this Information Circular under Audit Committee. The Board of Directors does not have any other committees.

Assessments

Neither the Company nor the Board has adopted formal procedures to regularly assess the Board, the Audit Committee or the individual directors as to their effectiveness and contribution. Effectiveness is subjectively measured by comparing actual corporate results with stated objectives. The contributions of individual directors are informally monitored by the other Board members, bearing in mind the business strengths of the individual and the purpose of originally nominating the individual to the Board.

The Board believes its corporate governance practices are appropriate and effective for the Company, given its size and operations. The Company’s corporate governance practices allow the Company to operate efficiently, with checks and balances, that control and monitor management and corporate functions without excessive administrative burden.
