The Company is utilizing the notice-and-access mechanism (the " Notice-and-Access Provisions ") under National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (" NI 54-101 ") and

2

National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations (" NI 51-102 ") for the distribution of this Information Circular to non-registered shareholders. Further information on the Notice-and-Access Provisions is contained below under the heading " Notice-and-Access " and Shareholders are encouraged to read this information for an explanation of their rights.

SHAREHOLDERS ENTITLED TO VOTE AND QUORUM

Registered shareholders (" Registered Shareholders ") as at the close of business on February 8, 2022 (the " Record Date "), or the person or persons they appoint as their proxies, are entitled to attend and vote on all matters that may properly come before the Meeting in respect of which their vote is required. Each Shareholder of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to one vote for each Common Share held with respect to all matters proposed to come before the Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and requiring a vote by Shareholders.

Registered Shareholders are entitled to vote at the Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, either in person or by proxy. Voting by proxy means that you are giving the person or persons named on your proxy form (your proxyholder) the authority to vote your Common Shares for you at the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof.

The presence of two or more persons holding at least 5% of the outstanding Common Shares of the Company present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum. The Company's list of Registered Shareholders as at the close of business on the Record Date has been used to deliver to Shareholders the Notice of Meeting and this Information Circular as well as to determine who is eligible to vote.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

The individuals named in the enclosed form of proxy will represent management of the Company at the Meeting. Each Shareholder has the right to appoint a person or company (who need not be a Shareholder), other than the persons designated in the accompanying form of proxy, to represent the Shareholder at the Meeting. Such right may be exercised by inserting the name of such person or company in the blank space provided in the proxy or by completing another proper form of proxy .

A Shareholder wishing to be represented by proxy at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof must, in all cases, deposit the completed proxy with Computershare Investor Services Inc ., 1500 Robert-Bourassa Blvd., 7[th] Floor, Montreal QC, H3A 3S8 (" Computershare ") by 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on Monday, March 21, 2022, or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, at least 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, prior to any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting at which the proxy is to be used, or deliver it to the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof prior to the commencement of the Meeting. A proxy should be executed by the Registered Shareholder or its attorney duly authorized in writing or, if the Registered Shareholder is a corporation, by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized. Failure to properly complete or deposit a proxy may result in its invalidation.

A Registered Shareholder who has submitted a proxy may revoke it at any time prior to the exercise thereof. If a Registered Shareholder who has given a proxy attends the Meeting in person at which such proxy is to be voted, such person may revoke the proxy and vote in person. In addition to any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked before it is exercised by an instrument in writing executed in the same manner as a proxy and deposited to the attention of the Chief Financial Officer (" CFO ") of the Company at the registered office of the Company at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, at which the proxy is to be used or with the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of such Meeting or any adjournment thereof and thereupon the proxy is revoked.

A Registered Shareholder attending the Meeting has the right to vote in person and, if he or she does so, his or her proxy is nullified with respect to the matters such person votes upon and any subsequent matters thereafter to be voted upon at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

If you are not a Registered Shareholder, please refer to the section below entitled " Beneficial Holders of Common Shares ".

3

BENEFICIAL SHAREHOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many Shareholders as a substantial number of Shareholders do not hold their Common Shares in their own name and thus are considered non-registered Shareholders (referred to as " Beneficial Shareholders "). 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 Shareholders 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 or another similar entity (an " Intermediary "). Common Shares held in the name of an Intermediary can only be voted by the Intermediary (for or against resolutions or withheld) upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, Intermediaries are prohibited from voting shares.

Beneficial Shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their Common Shares are communicated in a timely manner and in accordance with the instructions provided by their Intermediary. Applicable regulatory rules require Intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of the Meeting. Every Intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients, which instructions should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the Meeting.

Most brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (" Broadridge ") in the United States and in Canada. Broadridge mails a voting instruction form in lieu of a form of proxy provided by the Company. The voting instruction form will name the same persons as the Company's form of proxy to represent you at the Meeting. You have the right to appoint a person (who need not be a Shareholder), other than the persons designated in the voting instruction form, to represent you at the Meeting. To exercise this right, you should insert the name of the desired representative in the blank space provided in the voting instruction form. The completed voting instruction form must then be returned to Broadridge by mail or facsimile or given to Broadridge by phone or over the internet, in accordance with Broadridge's 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. If you receive a voting instruction form from Broadridge, you cannot use it to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting - the voting instruction form must be completed and returned to Broadridge, in accordance with its instructions, well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted.

Although a Beneficial Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purpose of voting Common Shares registered in the name of their Intermediary, a Beneficial Shareholder may attend at the Meeting as proxyholder for the Intermediary and vote the Common Shares in that capacity. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to attend the Meeting and indirectly vote their Common Shares as a proxyholder should enter their own names in the blank space on the form of proxy provided to them by their Intermediary and return the same to their Intermediary in accordance with the instructions provided by their Intermediary 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 is paying Broadridge to deliver, on behalf of the Intermediaries, a copy of a voting instruction form in lieu of a proxy provided by the Company, to each OBO.

NOTICE-AND-ACCESS

As noted above, the Company is utilizing the Notice-and-Access Provisions under NI 54-101 and NI 51-102 for distribution of this Information Circular to non-registered shareholders.

The Notice-and-Access Provisions allow reporting issuers to post electronic versions of proxy-related materials, such as proxy, information circulars, and annual financial statements (the " Proxy-Related Materials "), online, through the

4

System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (" SEDAR ") and one other website, rather than mailing paper copies of such materials to shareholders. Electronic copies of the Information Circular, financial statements of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2021 (" Financial Statements ") and management's discussion and analysis of the Company's results of operations and financial condition for the year ended June 30, 2021 (" MD&A ") may be found on the Company's SEDAR profile and also on the Company's website www.goliathresourcesltd.com.

The Company will not use procedures known as "stratification" in relation to the use of Notice-and-Access Provisions. Stratification occurs when a reporting issuer using the Notice-and-Access Provisions provides a paper copy of this Information Circular to some shareholders with the notice package. In relation to the Meeting, Shareholders will receive the required documentation under the Notice-and-Access Provisions, which will not include a paper copy of this Information Circular. Shareholders are reminded to review this Information Circular before voting.

The Company anticipates that relying on the Notice-and-Access Provisions will directly benefit the Company through a substantial reduction in both postage and material costs, and also promote environmental responsibility by decreasing the large volume of paper documents generated by printing proxy-related materials.

Shareholders with questions about the Notice-and-Access can call Broadridge toll free at 1-877-907-7643. The Company will mail paper copies of the Proxy-Related Materials to Shareholders who have previously elected to receive paper copies. Shareholders may also obtain paper copies of Proxy-Related Material free of charge by contacting Broadridge toll free from North America at 1-877-907-7643, or outside of North America at 905-507-5450 or by e-mail at [email protected]. Shareholders who do not have their 16 digit control number, can contact Broadridge toll free from North America at 1-877-907-7643.

A request for paper copies which are required in advance of the Meeting should be sent so that they are received by the Company or Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc., as applicable, no later than March 9, 2022 in order to allow sufficient time for shareholders to receive their paper copies and to return a) their form of proxy to the Company or Computershare Investor Services Inc., or b) their voting instruction form (" VIF ") to their Intermediaries by the deadline for submitting their proxy or VIF, as applicable.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS OR COMPANIES IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

The directors and officers of the Company have an interest in the resolutions concerning the election of directors and the approval of the Company's Option Plan (as option holders). Otherwise, to the knowledge of management of the Company, no insider or nominee for election as a director of the Company has any interest in any matter proposed to be considered at the Meeting except as disclosed herein.

EXERCISE OF DISCRETION

The nominees named in the accompanying form of proxy will vote or withhold from voting the shares represented thereby in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder on any ballot that may be called for. The proxy will confer discretionary authority on the nominees named therein with respect to each matter or group of matters identified therein for which a choice is not specified, any amendment to or variation of any matter identified therein, and any other matter that properly comes before the Meeting.

In respect of a matter for which a choice is not specified in the proxy, the nominees named in the accompanying form will vote shares represented by the proxy for the approval of such matter.

As of the date of this Information Circular, management of the Company knows of no amendment, variation or other matter that may come before the Meeting, but if any amendment, variation or other matter properly comes before the Meeting each nominee intends to vote thereon in accordance with the nominee's best judgement.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

The voting securities of the Company consist of Common Shares. As of February 8, 2022, the Company had outstanding 56,148,796 fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares without par value, each carrying the right to

5

To the knowledge of the directors and senior officers of the Company, there are no persons or corporation who, as at February 8, 2022, beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over, shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all outstanding shares of the Company.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The annual financial statements of the Company for the financial years ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, together with the auditor's report thereon and the related management's discussion and analysis, all of which may be obtained from SEDAR at www.sedar.com, will be presented to Shareholders at the Meeting.

Election of Directors

Four directors are nominated for election at the Meeting. Management proposes that each individual named below be nominated at the Meeting for re-election as a director of the Company to serve, until the next annual meeting of Shareholders, or until his successor is elected or appointed. Management does not contemplate that any of the nominees will be unable to serve as a director. However, if a nominee should be unable to so serve for any reason prior to the Meeting, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy reserve the right to vote for another nominee in their discretion.

On August 3, 2017, the Board approved a "rolling" stock option plan (the " Stock Option Plan "), pursuant to which the maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance, including options currently outstanding, is equal to 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. At the annual and special meeting held on August 29, 2017, the Shareholders approved the Stock Option Plan. The TSX Venture Exchange (the " TSXV ") requires that "rolling" stock option plans be approved by Shareholders on an annual basis at the Company's general meeting. Since the approval of the Stock Option Plan at the annual and special meeting of Goliath held on August 29, 2017, there have been no amendments to the Stock Option Plan.

The maximum number of common shares of the Company reserved for issuance under the Stock Option Plan is 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a "rolling" basis, amounting to 5,614,879 Common Shares, based on the current issued and outstanding Common Shares.

Summary of Stock Option Plan

The summary of the Stock Option Plan set forth below is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the provisions of such plan. Reference should be made to the provisions of the Stock Option Plan with respect to any capitalized term or particular provision described below.

Stock options to purchase Common Shares may be granted from time to time to directors, senior officers, employees and service providers of the Company and its affiliates, and to eligible charitable organizations pursuant to the Stock Option Plan in order to incentivize and sustain a commitment to long-term profitability and to maximize shareholder value. Grants of stock options are based on a variety of factors, and the amounts and terms of outstanding options are taken into account when determining whether and how many Stock Option grants are made. The Stock Option Plan will be administered by the Board or such committee appointed or designated to administer the Stock Option Plan (a " Committee "). The aggregate number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to the Stock Option Plan may not exceed 10% of the Common Shares at the time of any particular grant. The aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted to insiders of the Company at any given time, or within a 12-month period, shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis, unless Disinterested Shareholder Approval (as defined below) is obtained.

The aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted to any one person or entity within any 12-month period shall not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis, unless Disinterested Shareholder Approval is obtained. " Disinterested Shareholder Approval " means approval by a majority of the votes cast by all Shareholders at a duly constituted Shareholders' meeting, excluding votes attached to shares beneficially owned by insiders of the Company to whom options may be granted under the Stock Option Plan and their associates. In addition, the aggregate number of options granted and outstanding to eligible charitable organizations shall not at any time exceed 1% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, as calculated immediately subsequent to the grant of any options to eligible charitable organizations.

Under the terms of the Stock Option Plan, the Board or the Committee, if any, will establish the exercise price of an option at the time each option is granted according with the following conditions: (a) if the Common Shares are listed on TSXV, then (i) the exercise price will not be less than the minimum prevailing price permitted by the TSXV policies; (ii) if the exercise price of any option granted is based on the discounted market price rather than the market

10

price, all such options and any optioned shares issued upon the exercise thereof will be subject to a four month hold period, as required by the TSXV policies, commencing on the grant date; and (iii) if an option is granted within 90 days of a sale of the Company's securities by way of prospectus (a " Distribution "), the exercise price shall not be less than the price that is the greater of the minimum prevailing price permitted by the TSXV policies and the price paid by the public investors for Common Shares acquired under the Distribution, with such 90-day period beginning on the date a final receipt is issued for the prospectus; or (b) if the Common Shares are listed on a stock exchange other than TSXV, the exercise price shall not be less than the minimum prevailing price permitted by the rules of the stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed at the time the option is granted.

All options granted under the Stock Option Plan are personal to the optionee and are non-assignable and can have a term that does not exceed 10 years (subject to an extension of the scheduled expiry date for a further 10 business days if the option would otherwise expire during a blackout period).

An option granted to a director who is not an employee will terminate on the earliest of: (a) if such director is removed or is not re-elected, the date that such director is removed or is not re-elected as a director, or (b) if such director resigns, the date that is the earlier of (i) the expiry date of the option and (ii) the date that is 90 days after the effective date of such director's resignation.

The right to exercise the options granted will terminate immediately upon the termination of the optionee's employment for cause. If the termination of employment is for any reason other than cause, retirement, or death, such optionee may exercise any granted option if the option was exercisable and had vested on the date of the employee's termination, until the date that is the earlier of (i) the expiry date of the option and (ii) the date that is 90 days after the effective date of such optionee's termination. If, before the expiry of an option, the employment of the optionee who is an officer, employee or consultant of the Company or an affiliate of the Company retires, such optionee may exercise any option granted, to the extent that such option was exercisable and had vested on the date of retirement, until the date that is earlier of (i) the expiry date of the option and (ii) the date that is 90 days after the effective date of retirement. If, before the expiry of an option, the optionee dies, such option may be exercised by the legal personal representatives, heirs, executors or administrators of the optionee, to the extent that such option was exercisable and had vested on the date of death, until the date that is the earlier of (i) the expiry date of the option and (ii) the date that is 12 months after the date of death. Subject to the provisions of the Stock Option Plan and applicable laws, including TSXV policies, the Board or Committee, if any, may determine when an option will become exercisable and may determine that the option will be exercisable immediately upon the date of the grant, in installments, or pursuant to a vesting schedule. However, options granted to persons performing investor relations activities must, at the very least, vest in stages over 12 months, with no more than 25% of the options vesting in any three-month period.

The Board or Committee, if any, may amend or terminate the Stock Option Plan at any time if and when it is deemed advisable, in its absolute discretion; provided, however that no such amendment or termination shall adversely affect any outstanding options granted under the Stock Option Plan without the consent of the affected optionee(s). Any amendment to the Stock Option Plan shall also be subject to acceptance of such amendment for filing by TSXV, if applicable, and, where required by TSXV, the approval of the Shareholders. Under current TSXV policies, the Stock Option Plan and any option granted thereunder may be amended by the Board without the consent of the Shareholders generally to: (a) fix typographical errors and (b) clarify existing provisions of the Stock Option Plan that do not have the effect of altering the scope, nature and intent of such provisions.

The Board or Committee, if any, may amend any outstanding option granted under the Stock Option Plan with the consent of the affected optionee(s), if required, and TSXV, if required, subject to the following conditions: (a) if the optionee is an insider of the Company at the time of the amendment, the Company must obtain Disinterested Shareholder Approval, unless the amendment relates to extending the length of the term of the option or is otherwise permitted by the TSXV; (b) where an amendment is made to reduce the exercise price of an outstanding option, (i) if the exercise price is reduced to the Discounted Market Price, the four-month hold period commencing on the grant date of such option shall apply from the date of amendment, and (ii) at least six months shall have elapsed since the later of: (A) the commencement of the term of the option; (B) the date the Common Shares commenced trading on TSXV; and (C) the date the option exercise price was last amended; and (c) if the length of the exercise period of any option is extended, any such extension shall be treated as a grant of a new option and must comply with the pricing and other requirements of the TSXV policies and the option must have been outstanding for at least one year prior to the extension of the exercise period.

11

The Stock Option Plan provides that upon the Company entering an agreement providing for a Change of Control, or the Board adopting a resolution to the effect that a Change of Control has occurred or is imminent, or a take-over bid is made, the Board may, in its sole and absolute discretion and if permitted by the TSXV policies and applicable securities laws, determine by resolution that all outstanding options shall (i) immediately become exercisable in full by the holders thereof, notwithstanding any vesting provisions or other restrictions or conditions that would otherwise attach to such options, and (ii) expire on the date determined of the Board, provided however that the expiry date of any outstanding option may not be extended beyond the 10-year maximum term.

The Board believes that the proposed Stock Option Plan will offer to participants a competitive and stable level of equity-based compensation. The Stock Option Plan will also assist the Company to secure and retain key personnel and to provide additional motivation to such persons to exert their best efforts on behalf of the Company.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and if deemed advisable, ratify, confirm and approve the Stock Option Plan by approving the following resolution (the " Stock Option Plan Resolution "):

"BE IT RESOLVED, AS AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION, THAT:

  1. subject to regulatory approval, the 10% rolling stock option plan (the " Stock Option Plan ") of Goliath Resources Limited (the " Company ") is hereby ratified, confirmed and approved;

  2. the Company is authorized to grant stock options in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Stock Option Plan entitling the option holders to purchase, in aggregate, that number of Common Shares that does not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company from time to time on the particular grant date;

  3. any committee created pursuant to the Stock Option Plan is authorized to make such amendments to the Stock Option Plan from time to time as may be considered appropriate in the committee's discretion or required by applicable regulatory authorities, provided that such amendments are subject to the approval of all applicable regulatory authorities and, in certain cases, in accordance with the terms of the Stock Option Plan, by the shareholders of the Company;

  4. the Company is authorized to make any amendments to the Stock Option Plan that are required from time to time to comply with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange and no further resolution or approval by the shareholders shall be required for such an amendment; and

  5. any one director or officer of the Company is authorized to take any steps and execute any documents as he or she may deem necessary to give effect to the Stock Option Plan and to comply with regulatory requirements respecting the Stock Option Plan."

Management of the Company recommends that Shareholders vote in favor of the Stock Option Plan Resolution. Unless you give other instructions, the persons named in the form of proxy intend to vote FOR the Stock Option Plan Resolution. This ordinary resolution must be approved by a majority of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting.

STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Named Executive Officer

In this section Named Executive Officer (" NEO ") means each of the following individuals:

  • (a) the Chief Executive Officer (" CEO ") of the Company;

  • (b) the Chief Financial Officer (" CFO ") of the Company;

  • (c) the three most highly compensated executive officers, or the three most highly compensated individuals acting in a similar capacity, other than the CEO and CFO, at the end of the most recently completed financial year whose total compensation was more than $150,000 for that financial year; and

12

  • (d) each individual who would be a NEO under paragraph (c) but for the fact that the individual was not an executive officer of the Company, and was not acting in a similar capacity, at the June 30, 2021 financial year-end.

As at June 30, 2021 Roger Rosmus, President and CEO and Graham C. Warren, CFO were each a " NEO " of the Company for the purposes of the following disclosure.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Board has not appointed a compensation committee so the responsibilities relating to executive and director compensation are performed by the Board as a whole, including: the review of and recommendations for director compensation; oversight of the Company's base compensation structure and equity-based compensation programs; recommendations for compensation of the Company's officers and employees; and the evaluation of the performance of officers generally. The Board has not considered the implications of the risks associated with the Company's compensation program.

Philosophy and Objectives

To determine executive compensation, the Company relies solely on Board discussion without any formal objectives, criteria and analysis.

When determining the compensation of NEOs, the Board considers the limited resources of the Company and the objectives of: (i) recruiting and retaining the 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 shareholders of the Company; and (iv) rewarding performance, both on an individual basis and with respect to the business in general in order to achieve these objectives.

The compensation paid to NEOs consists of the following two components: base fee and long-term incentive in the form of stock options.

Base Fee

The base fee of each NEO is determined by an assessment of the Board of such executive's performance, a consideration of competitive compensation levels in companies similar to the Company and a review of the performance of the Company as a whole and the role such executive officer played on such corporate performance.

Long-Term Incentive

The Company provides a long-term incentive by granting options to executive officers under the Option Plan. See " Approval of the Stock Option Plan – Summary of Stock Option Plan " for a summary of the material terms of the Option Plan.

The objective of granting options is to encourage executives to acquire an ownership interest in the Company over a period of time, which acts as a financial incentive for such executive to consider the long term interest of the Company and its shareholders.

Option Based Awards

The Board reviews the performance of the Company's management and advisors from time to time, and recommends option-based awards and other compensation awards or adjustments. These decisions take into consideration corporate and individual performance and industry standards. Previous grants of option-based awards are also taken into consideration in making this determination. The experience of the Board members who are also involved as management of, or Board members or advisors to, other companies also informs decisions concerning compensation.

Notes:

(1) Stock options issued under the Stock Option Plan are accounted for using the fair value method of method of accounting for stock-based compensation. The fair value of the option is recognized as a share based payment and contributed surplus over the vesting period of the option. Share based payment is determined on the date of an option grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average fair market value per option was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: dividend yield – nil, expected volatility 164% (2020 -174%) (2019 - 227%), risk free rate – 0.58% (2020 - 0.40%) (2019 - 1.55%), expected life - 5 years (2020 - 5 years) (2019 - 5 years).

(2) Mr. Rosmus was appointed Chief Executive Officer on October 11, 2017.

(3) Pursuant to a consulting agreement (the " Aberdeen Consulting Agreement "), the Company engages Aberdeen Gould Advisory Services Ltd., a company controlled by Mr. Rosmus, as a consultant, pursuant to a which Mr. Rosmus performs the services of Chief Executive Officer to the Company.

(4) Mr. Warren was appointed as Chief Financial Officer on October 11, 2017.

(5) Pursuant to a consulting agreement (the " Warren Consulting Agreement "), the Company engages Mr. Warren to perform the services of Chief Financial Officer to the Company.

(6) This individual is also a Director.

Notes:

(1) The Stock Option Plan under which the above options were granted is a "rolling" stock option plan whereby the maximum number of Common Shares that may be reserved for issuance pursuant to the Stock Option Plan will not exceed 10% of the issued shares of the Company at the time of the stock option grant. See " Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon – Approval of the Stock Option Plan ".

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

Corporate governance relates to the activities of the Board, the members of which are elected by and are accountable to Shareholders, and takes into account the role of the individual members of management who are appointed by the Board and who are charged with the day to day management of the Company. The Board and senior management consider good corporate governance to be central to the effective and efficient operation of the Company.

National Policy 58-201 - Corporate Governance Guidelines (" NP 58-201 ") establishes corporate governance guidelines which apply to all public companies. The Company has reviewed its own corporate governance practices in light of these guidelines. In certain cases, the Company's practices comply with the guidelines, however, the Board considers that some of the guidelines are not suitable for the Company at its current stage of development and therefore these guidelines have not been adopted.

National Instrument 58-101 - Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (" NI 58-101 ") also requires the Company to disclose annually in its information circular certain information concerning its corporate governance practices. As a "venture issuer", the Company is required to make these disclosures with reference to the requirements of Form 58-101F2, as provided below.

Board of Directors

The Board is currently composed of the following four directors: Roger Rosmus, Graham C. Warren, Wayne Isaacs and Jean Lafleur. It is proposed that Roger Rosmus, Graham C. Warren, Wayne Isaacs and Jean Lafleur be re-elected at the Meeting.

NI 58-101 suggests that the board of directors of every listed company should be constituted with a majority of individuals who qualify as "independent" directors, within the meaning set out under NI 52-110, which provides that a director is independent if he or she has no direct or indirect "material relationship" with the company. "Material relationship" is defined as a relationship which 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.

Of the current directors, Roger Rosmus, CEO and President, of the Company and Graham C. Warren, CFO and Secretary of the Company, are executive officers and accordingly are not considered to be "independent". In assessing NI 58-101 and making the foregoing determinations, the circumstances of each director have been examined in relation to a number of factors. The remaining directors are considered to be independent directors since they are all independent of management and free from any material relationship with the Company. The basis for this determination is that, since the commencement of the Company's fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, none of the current independent directors have worked for the Company, received remuneration from the Company or had material contracts with or material interests in the Company which could interfere with their ability to act with a view to the best interests of the Company.

The Board believes that it functions independently of management. To enhance its ability to act independently of management, the members of the Board may meet in the absence of members of management and the non-independent directors. In the event of a conflict of interest at a meeting of the Board, the conflicted director will, in accordance with corporate law and in accordance with his fiduciary obligations as a director of the Company, disclose the nature and extent of his interest to the meeting and abstain from voting on or against the approval of such participation. In addition, the members of the Board who are not members of management of the Company are encouraged by the management members of the Board to communicate and obtain advice from such advisors and legal counsel as they may deem necessary in order to reach a conclusion with respect to issues brought before the Board.

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Board has no governance policies relating to the directors' orientation and continuing education.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board expects management to operate the business of the Company in a manner that enhances shareholder value and is consistent with the highest level of integrity. However, to date, the Board has not adopted a formal written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. The Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company's governing corporate legislation and the common law have been sufficient to ensure that the Board acts in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders.

Nomination of Directors

The Company's directors are responsible for the selection of nominees to the Board.

Assessments

The skills and knowledge of the Board as a whole is such that no formal continuing education process is currently considered required. The Board is comprised of individuals with varying backgrounds, who have, both collectively and individually, extensive experience in running and managing public companies. The Company has no formal policy concerning the evaluation of members of the Board.

Committees of the Board

At the present time, the Board has appointed only an audit committee. See " Audit Committee ".

Compensation

The Company has no formal policy concerning compensation.

Diversity

On January 1st, 2020, amendments to the Canada Business Corporations Act entered into force requiring new disclosure of the number of: (i) women; (ii) Aboriginal peoples; (iii) people with disabilities; and (iv) members of visible minorities (collectively, the " Designated Groups ") on the Board and in senior management positions with the Company.

The Company recognizes the benefits of diversity within its Board, at the senior management level and all levels of the organization. Due to its size, industry sector and the number of Board members and management, the Company has not adopted a formal written policy on the search for and selection of members of Designated Groups as directors

19

or members of senior management. The Company does not believe that a formal policy would enhance the representation of Designated Groups on the Board beyond the current recruitment and selection process.

The Company evaluates the necessary competencies, skills, experience and other qualifications of each candidate as a whole and considers the representation of Designated Groups as one of many factors in the recruitment and selection of candidates for Board and senior management positions.

The Company recognizes the value of individuals with diverse attributes on the Board and in senior management positions. However, the Board has not adopted formal targets regarding members of Designated Groups being represented on the Board or holding senior management positions. The representation of Designated Groups is one of many factors considered in the overall recruitment and selection process in respect of Board and senior management positions at the Company. The Board does not believe that formal targets would enhance the representation of Designated Groups on the Board or in senior management positions beyond the current recruitment and selection process.

Currently, one member of the Board is a member of the Designated Groups (25%) and no members of the senior management team of the Company is a member of the Designated Group (0%). The Board has not adopted a formal policy relating to term limits for directors. The Board strives to be constituted to achieve a balance between experience and the need for renewal and fresh perspective. The Board does not believe such policy is appropriate given the Company's size and stage of development. The Board is of the opinion that term limits may disadvantage the Company through the loss of beneficial contributions of its directors.
