MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR
as at November 30, 2025, except as otherwise indicated
This management information circular (the “Information Circular”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation by management of Goliath Resources Limited (the “Company”) of proxies for use at the annual and special meeting (the “Meeting”) of holders (“Shareholders”) of common shares (“Common Shares”) of the Company referred to in the accompanying Notice of Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Notice”) to be held on Wednesday, January 14, 2026, for the purposes set forth in the Notice.
The Meeting will be held at the offices of Wildeboer Dellelce LLP, Suite 800, 365 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario and in a virtual format, by way of a live webcast. The Corporation strongly encourages all shareholders to vote their Common Shares in advance of the Meeting and to attend the Meeting in person or via videoconference at: https://wildlaw-ca.zoom.us/j/81458105702. The Meeting can also be accessed by conference call at 1 (647) 558-0588 (Meeting ID: 814 5810 5702). Management of the Company will address the Meeting and shareholders will be able to listen and ask questions at the Meeting in real time in person or via the Internet. Voting in advance of the Meeting in accordance with the instructions set out on your form of proxy or voting instruction form will ensure your votes are counted at the Meeting.
SOLICITATION OF PROXIES
The solicitation of proxies is made by the management of the Company and will be primarily by mail, but proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone by regular employees of the Company at nominal cost. All costs of solicitation by management will be borne by the Company.
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 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 of the close of business on December 5, 2025 (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 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
3
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 Trust Company of Canada, 320 Bay Street, 14th floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 4A6 ("Computershare") by 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on January 12, 2026, 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 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".
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 Common 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 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.
4
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.
Beneficial Shareholders who have not objected to their Intermediary disclosing certain ownership information about themselves to the Company are referred to as "non-objecting beneficial owners". Those Beneficial Shareholders 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 forward proxy-related materials to OBOs and OBOs will not receive such materials unless the Intermediary assumes the cost.
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 Beneficial 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 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, the audited annual financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (the "Financial Statements") and management's discussion and analysis of the Company's results of operations and financial condition for the year ended June 30, 2025 may be found on the Company's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca and 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 December 31, 2025 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, 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
No person or company who has been a director or executive officer of the Company at any time since the beginning of the Company's last completed financial year, no proposed nominee for election as a director of the Company and no associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing persons has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting other than the election of directors.
5
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 the Record Date, the Company had outstanding 171,754,056 fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares without par value, each carrying the right to one vote.
To the knowledge of the directors and senior officers of the Company, there are no persons who, as at the Record Date, beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over, shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all outstanding Common Shares.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The annual audited financial statements of the Company for the financial years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, 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.sedarplus.ca, will be presented to Shareholders at the Meeting.
PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
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.

Due to amendments to the Canada Business Corporations Act (the "CBCA") in respect of the election of directors of public companies which came into effect on August 31, 2022, shareholders must be given a choice in the form of proxy sent to shareholders to either vote "for" or "against" the election of each candidate to the Board of Directors in any uncontested election of directors (where the number of nominees equals the number of positions to be filled), unlike the "for" and "withhold" options previously offered to the Corporation's shareholders. Subject to certain exceptions, the amendments to the CBCA require that each director in an uncontested election must receive more votes "for" than "against" cast at the Meeting to be elected. Currently, the number of nominees for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation is equal to the number of positions to be filled. In the event there are additional candidates nominated for election to the Board of Directors, any "against" votes will be deemed to be "withhold" votes. As of the date hereof, Management of the Corporation does not expect the election of directors to be contested.
If an incumbent director is not elected by a majority of "for" votes at the meeting, he or she will be permitted to continue in office until the earlier of (a) the $90^{\text{th}}$ day after the date of the election; and (b) the day on which their successor is appointed or elected. In limited circumstances, the elected directors may also re-appoint the incumbent director even though he or she did not receive majority support in the most recent election. Specifically, the amendments to the CBCA will allow re-appointment in two circumstances:
- where it is required to satisfy the CBCA's Canadian residency requirement; or
- where it is required to satisfy the CBCA's requirement that at least two directors of a public company not also be officers or employees of the corporation or its affiliates.
If the shareholders fail to elect the number or minimum number of directors required by the issuer's articles due to a lack of a majority of "for" votes for any director nominee(s), the directors who were elected at the meeting may exercise all their powers as directors provided that they constitute a quorum.
COMMON SHARES REPRESENTED BY PROXIES IN FAVOUR OF MANAGEMENT NOMINEES WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOUR OF THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE PROPOSED NOMINEES SET FORTH
9
ABOVE AS DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY, UNLESS THE SHAREHOLDER HAS SPECIFIED IN THE PROXY THAT HIS, HER OR ITS COMMON SHARES ARE TO BE WITHHELD FROM VOTING IN RESPECT THEREOF. THE COMPANY DOES NOT CONTEMPLATE THAT ANY OF SUCH NOMINEES WILL BE UNABLE TO SERVE AS A DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY BUT, IF THAT SHOULD OCCUR 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.
Appointment of Auditor and Fixing the Remuneration
Management proposes to nominate McGovern Hurley LLP, Chartered Accountants as auditor of the Company to hold office until the next annual meeting of Shareholders. McGovern Hurley LLP, Chartered Accountants was appointed as auditor of the Company effective April 24, 2018.
COMMON SHARES REPRESENTED BY PROXIES IN FAVOUR OF MANAGEMENT NOMINEES WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOUR OF THE APPOINTMENT OF MCGOVERN HURLEY LLP, CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS, AS AUDITOR OF THE COMPANY AND THE AUTHORIZING OF THE DIRECTORS TO FIX ITS REMUNERATION, UNLESS THE SHAREHOLDER HAS SPECIFIED IN THE PROXY THAT HIS, HER OR ITS COMMON SHARES ARE TO BE WITHHELD FROM VOTING IN RESPECT THEREOF.
Re-Approval of the Omnibus Equity Incentive Compensation Plan
On February 16, 2024, the Shareholders approved the omnibus equity incentive compensation plan (the "Omnibus Plan"). At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider re-approving the Plan. The Plan is to be re-approved annually by Shareholders in accordance with TSXV Policy 4.4 – Security Based Compensation of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").
As of November 30, 2025, the Company had 12,962,670 Options, 6,077,331 RSUs and no, DSUs, PSUs or Other Share-Based Awards (as such terms are defined below) outstanding.
The following is a summary of the principal terms of the Plan, which is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Plan. A copy of the Omnibus Plan may be obtained upon request from the Company at 82 Richmond Street East, Toronto, Ontario, M5C 1P1. All capitalized terms in this section that are not otherwise defined herein have the meaning given to such terms in the Omnibus Plan.
Purpose
The purpose of the Omnibus Plan is to provide the Company with a share-related mechanism to attract, retain and motivate qualified Directors, Officers, Employees and Consultants to reward such of those Directors, Officers, Employees and Consultants as may be granted Awards under the Omnibus Plan by the Board from time to time for their contributions toward the long term goals and success of the Company and to enable and encourage such Directors, Officers, Employees and Consultants to acquire Common Shares as long term investments and proprietary interests in the Company.
Types of Awards
The Omnibus Plan provides for the grant of Awards which may be denominated or settled in Common Shares, cash or in such other forms as provided for in the Omnibus Plan. All Awards will be evidenced by an agreement or other instrument or document (an "Award Agreement").
Plan Administration
The Omnibus Plan is administered by the Board, which may delegate its authority to any duly authorized committee of the Board (the "Plan Administrator"). The Plan Administrator has sole and complete authority, in its discretion, to:
(a) determine the Participants to whom grants of Awards under the Omnibus Plan may be made;
(b) make grants of Awards under the Omnibus Plan, whether relating to the issuance of Common Shares or otherwise (including any combination of Options, RSUs, PSUs, DSUs or Other Share-Based Awards), in such amounts, to such Participants and, subject to the provisions of the Omnibus Plan, on such terms and
10
conditions as it determines, including, without limitation:
(i) the time or times at which Awards may be granted;
(ii) the conditions under which: (A) Awards may be granted to Participants; or (B) Awards may be forfeited to the Company, including any conditions relating to the attainment of specified performance goals;
(iii) the number of Common Shares to be covered by any Award;
(iv) the price, if any, to be paid by a Participant in connection with the purchase of Common Shares covered by any Awards;
(v) whether restrictions or limitations are to be imposed on the Common Shares issuable pursuant to grants of any Award, and the nature of such restrictions or limitations, if any; and
(vi) any acceleration of exercisability or vesting, or waiver of termination regarding any Award, based on such factors as the Plan Administrator may determine;
(c) establish the form or forms of Award Agreements;
(d) cancel, amend, adjust or otherwise change any Award under such circumstances as the Plan Administrator may consider appropriate in accordance with the provisions of the Omnibus Plan;
(e) construe and interpret the Omnibus Plan and all Award Agreements;
(f) adopt, amend, prescribe and rescind administrative guidelines and other rules and regulations relating to the Omnibus Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of satisfying applicable foreign laws or for qualifying for favorable tax treatment under applicable foreign laws; and
(g) make all other determinations and take all other actions necessary or advisable for the implementation and administration of the Omnibus Plan.
Common Shares Available for Awards
The Omnibus Plan is a “rolling up to 10% and fixed up to 10%” Security Based Compensation Plan, as defined in Policy 4.4 - Security Based Compensation of the TSXV. The Omnibus Plan is a: (a) “rolling” plan pursuant to which the number of Common Shares that are issuable pursuant to the exercise of Options (including the existing Options) granted under the Omnibus Plan shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as at the date of any Option grant; and (b) “fixed” plan under which the number of Common Shares that are issuable pursuant to all Awards other than Options granted under the Omnibus Plan and under any other security based compensation arrangement, in aggregate is a currently a maximum of 10,399,096 Common Shares, in each case, subject to adjustment as provided in the Omnibus Plan and any subsequent amendment to the Omnibus Plan including as set out herein. At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to approve a new maximum of 17,175,405 Common Shares under the “fixed” portion of the Omnibus Plan for all Awards other than Options on a pre-Consolidation basis; on a post-Consolidation basis the following number of all Awards other than Options will be available in the aggregate (including existing Awards) depending on the Consolidation Ratio approved by the Board (see “Amendment to Omnibus Plan” below):
| Consolidation Ratio | Number of Awards available for grant under the “fixed” portion of the Omnibus Plan |
|---|---|
| Current Number Pre-Consolidation^{1} | 10,399,096 |
| Amended Number Pre-Consolidation^{2} | 17,175,405 |
| 1 (new) for 2 (old)^{3} | 8,587,702 |
| 1 (new) for 3 (old)^{3} | 5,725,135 |
| 1 (new) for 4 (old)^{3} | 4,293,851 |
| 1 (new) for 5 (old)^{3} | 3,435,081 |
| 1 (new) for 6 (old)^{3} | 2,862,567 |

Maximum Awards Issuable to Certain Persons
The aggregate number of Common Shares: (a) issued to any one Consultant within any one-year period, under all of the Company’s security based compensation arrangements, may not exceed 2% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding Common Shares; (b) issued to any one individual within any one-year period, under all of the Company’s security based compensation arrangements may not exceed 5% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding Common Shares, unless disinterested shareholder approval has been obtained; (c) issued to Persons employed to provide investor relations services within any one-year period, under all of the Company’s security based compensation arrangements, may not exceed 2% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding Common Shares; (d) issuable to Insiders (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) at any time under all of the Company’s security based compensation arrangements may not exceed 10% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding Common Shares, unless disinterested shareholder approval has been obtained; and (e) issued to Insiders within any one-year period, under all of the Company’s security based compensation arrangements may not exceed 10% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding Common Shares, unless disinterested shareholder approval has been obtained.
Blackout Period
In the event that the Award Date (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) occurs, or an Award expires, during a Black-Out Period (as defined herein), the effective Award Date for such Award, or expiry of such Award, as the case may be, will be no later than 10 business days after the last day of the Black-Out Period, and the Market Price (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) with respect to the grant of such Award shall be calculated based on the VWAP of the five business days after the last day of the Black-Out Period. For the purposes hereof, a “Black-Out Period” means that period during which a trading black-out period is imposed by the Company to restrict trades in the Company’s securities by a Participant.
Description of Awards
Subject to the provisions of the Omnibus Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator may prescribe, including with respect to performance and vesting conditions, the Plan Administrator may, from time to time, grant the following types of Awards to any Participant.
(a) Options
An Option entitles a holder thereof to purchase a Common Share at an exercise price set at the time of the grant, such price must in all cases be not less than the Market Price on the relevant date. Each Option will expire on the expiry date specified in the Award Agreement (which shall not be later than the 10th anniversary of the date of grant) or, if not so specified, means the 10th anniversary of the date of grant.
A Participant or the Personal Representative of the Participant (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) may elect to exercise such Options on a cashless basis, which means the exercise of an Option where the Company has an arrangement with a brokerage firm pursuant to which the brokerage firm will loan money to the Participant to purchase the Common Shares underlying the Option and then the brokerage firm sells a sufficient number of Common Shares to cover the exercise price of the Option in order to repay the loan made to the Participant and receives an equivalent number of Common Shares from the exercise of the Options as were sold to cover the loan and the Participant then receives the balance of the Common Shares or the cash proceeds from the balance of the Common Shares.
Other than a person conducting investor relations activities, a Participant or the Personal Representative of the Participant may elect to exercise an Option without payment of the aggregate exercise price of the Common Shares to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Option (a “Net Exercise”) by delivering a net exercise notice to the Plan
12
Administrator. Upon receipt by the Plan Administrator of a net exercise notice from a Participant or Personal Representative of a Participant, the Company shall calculate and issue to such Participant or Personal Representative of such Participant that number of Common Shares as is determined by application of the following formula:
$$
\mathrm {X} = [ \mathrm {Y} (\mathrm {A} - \mathrm {B}) ] / \mathrm {A}
$$
Where:
X = the number of Common Shares to be issued to the Participant upon the Net Exercise
Y = the number of Common Shares underlying the Options being exercised
A = the VWAP as at the date of the net exercise notice, if such VWAP is greater than the exercise price
B = the exercise price of the Options being exercised
(b) Deferred Share Units
A DSU is a unit that vests one year or more following a grant but does not settle until a future date after the vesting, generally as established in the Award Agreement, or if not so established, then upon termination of service with the Company. The number of DSUs (including fractional DSUs) granted at any particular time will be calculated by dividing (a) the amount of any compensation that is to be paid in DSUs, as determined by the Plan Administrator by (b) the Market Price on the relevant date.
DSUs shall be settled on the date established in the Award Agreement; provided, however that in no event shall a DSU be settled prior to, or later than one year following, the date of the applicable Participant's separation from service. Subject to the terms of the Omnibus Plan, and except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, on the settlement date for any DSU, the Participant will redeem each vested DSU for a Common Share, a cash payment, or a combination thereof.
Unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the particular Award Agreement, DSUs will be credited with dividend equivalents in the form of additional DSUs as of each dividend payment date in respect of which normal cash dividends are paid on Common Shares. Dividend equivalents will vest in proportion to the DSUs to which they relate and will be settled in the same manner as the DSUs.
(c) Restricted Share Units
An RSU is a unit equivalent in value to a Common Share that does not vest until after a specified period, or satisfaction of other vesting conditions as determined by the Plan Administrator. The number of RSUs (including fractional RSUs) granted at any particular time will be calculated by dividing (a) the amount of any compensation that is to be paid in RSUs, as determined by the Plan Administrator, by (b) the Market Price of a Common Share on the relevant date.
The Plan Administrator will have the sole authority to determine the settlement terms applicable to the grant of RSUs. Subject to the terms of the Omnibus Plan, and except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, on the settlement date for any RSU, the Participant will redeem each vested RSU for a Common Share, a cash payment, or a combination thereof.
Unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the particular Award Agreement, RSUs will be credited with dividend equivalents in the form of additional RSUs as of each dividend payment date in respect of which normal cash dividends are paid on Common Shares. Dividend equivalents will vest in proportion to the RSUs to which they relate and will be settled in the same manner as the RSUs.
(d) Performance Share Units
The Plan Administrator will issue performance goals prior to the date of grant to which such performance goals pertain. The performance goals may be based upon the achievement of corporate, divisional or individual goals and may be applied to performance relative to an index or comparator group, or on any other basis determined by the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator may modify the performance goals as necessary to align them with the Company's corporate objectives, subject to any limitations set forth in an Award Agreement or other agreement with a Participant. The performance goals may include a threshold level of performance below which no payment will be made (or no vesting will occur), levels of performance at which specified payments will be made (or specified vesting
will occur) and a maximum level of performance above which no additional payment will be made (or at which full vesting will occur), all as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.
Each PSU will consist of a right to receive a Common Share, cash payment, or a combination thereof, upon the achievement of such performance goals during such performance periods as the Plan Administrator may establish.
(e) Other Share-Based Awards
Each Other Share-Based Award shall consist of a right (a) which is other than an Award or right described above, and (b) which is denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, Common Shares (including, without limitation, securities convertible into Common Shares) as are deemed by the Plan Administrator to be consistent with the purposes of the Omnibus Plan; provided, however, that such right will comply with applicable law. Subject to the terms of the Omnibus Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, the Plan Administrator will determine the terms and conditions of Other Share-Based Awards.
Effect of Termination on Awards
The following table describes the impact of certain events upon the Participants under the Omnibus Plan, including termination for cause, resignation, termination without cause, disability, death or retirement, subject, in each case, to the terms of a Participant's employment agreement, Award Agreement or other written agreement:
| Event Provisions | Provisions |
|---|---|
| Termination for cause | Forfeiture of any unexercised Option or other Award. |
| Resignation | Forfeiture of any unexercised Option or other Award |
| Termination without cause | Any Option or other Award that is not vested as of the termination date shall be cancelled. Vested Options or other Awards may be exercised at any time during the period that terminates on the earlier of: (A) the expiry date of such Award; and (B) 90 days after the termination date (or such other period as may be determined by the Board, provided such period is not more than one year following the termination date). |
| Death | Any Option or other Award that has not vested as of the date of the death of such Participant shall terminate. Vested Options or other Awards may be exercised at any time during the period that terminates on the earlier of: (A) the expiry date of such Award; and (B) the six month anniversary of the date of the death of the Participant. |
| Disability | Any Option or other Award that has not vested as of the date of the disability of such Participant shall terminate. Vested Options or other Awards may be exercised at any time during the period that terminates on the earlier of: (A) the expiry date of such Award; and (B) the six month anniversary of the date of disability of the Participant. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, permit the acceleration of vesting of any or all Awards or waive termination of any or all Awards, all in the manner and on the terms as may be authorized by the Plan Administrator.
Except as may be set forth in an employment agreement, Award Agreement or other written agreement between the Company or a subsidiary of the Company and the Participant or as set out in the Omnibus Plan, the Plan Administrator may, without the consent of any Participant, take such steps as it deems necessary or desirable, including to cause:
(a) the conversion or exchange of any outstanding Awards into or for, rights or other securities of substantially equivalent value, as determined by the Plan Administrator in its discretion, in any entity participating in or resulting from a Change in Control (as defined in the Omnibus Plan);
(b) outstanding Awards to vest and become exercisable, realizable or payable, or restrictions applicable to an Award to lapse, in whole or in part prior to or upon consummation of such Change in Control, and, to the extent the Plan Administrator determines, terminate upon or immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Change in Control;
(c) the termination of an Award in exchange for an amount of cash and/or property, if any, equal to the
14
amount that would have been attained upon the exercise or settlement of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction net of any exercise price payable by the Participant (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction, the Plan Administrator determines, in good faith, that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise or settlement of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights net of any exercise price payable by the Participant, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without payment);
(d) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Board in its sole discretion; or
(e) any combination of the foregoing. In taking any of the foregoing actions, the Plan Administrator will not be required to treat all Awards similarly in the transaction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator or as set out in the Omnibus Plan, if, as a result of a Change in Control, the Common Shares will cease trading on a stock exchange, the Company may terminate all of the Awards granted under the Omnibus Plan at the time of and subject to the completion of the Change in Control by paying to each holder an amount for each Award equal to the fair market value of the Award held by such Participant as determined by the Plan Administrator, acting reasonably.
Assignability
Except as required by law, the rights of a Participant under the Omnibus Plan are not capable of being assigned, transferred, alienated, sold, encumbered, pledged, mortgaged or charged and are not capable of being subject to attachment or legal process for the payment of any debts or obligations of the Participant.
Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Omnibus Plan
The Plan Administrator may from time to time, without notice and without approval of the Shareholders, amend, modify, change, suspend or terminate the Omnibus Plan or any Awards granted pursuant thereunder as it, in its discretion, determines appropriate, provided, however, that: (a) no such amendment, modification, change, suspension or termination may materially impair any rights of a Participant or materially increase any obligations of a Participant under the Omnibus Plan without the consent of the Participant, unless the Plan Administrator determines such adjustment is required or desirable in order to comply with any applicable securities laws or TSXV requirements; and (b) any amendment that would cause an Award held by a U.S. taxpayer to be subject to the additional tax penalty under the U.S. tax code will be null and void with respect to the U.S. taxpayer unless his or her consent is obtained.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the below, the Plan Administrator may, without shareholder approval, at any time or from time to time, amend the Omnibus Plan for the purposes of making:
(a) any amendments to the general vesting provisions of each Award;
(b) any amendment regarding the effect of termination of a participant’s employment or engagement;
(c) any amendments to add covenants of the Company for the protection of Participants, provided that the Plan Administrator must be of the good faith opinion that such additions will not be prejudicial to the rights or interests of the Participants;
(d) any amendments not inconsistent with the Omnibus Plan as may be necessary or desirable with respect to matters or questions which, in the good faith opinion of the Plan Administrator, having in mind the best interests of the Participants, it may be expedient to make, including amendments that are desirable as a result of changes in law in any jurisdiction where a Participant resides, provided that the Plan Administrator must be of the opinion that such amendments and modifications will not be prejudicial to the interests of the Participants and non-employee directors; or
(e) any such changes or corrections which, on the advice of counsel to the Company, are required for the purpose of curing or correcting any ambiguity or defect or inconsistent provision or clerical omission or mistake or manifest error, provided that the Plan Administrator must be of the opinion that such changes or corrections will not be prejudicial to the rights and interests of the Participants.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to any rules of the Exchange, shareholder approval will be required for any
15
amendment, modification or change that:
(a) increases the percentage of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Omnibus Plan, except pursuant to the provisions in the Omnibus Plan which permit the Plan Administrator to make equitable adjustments in the event of transactions affecting the Company or its capital;
(b) increases or removes the 10% limits on Common Shares issuable or issued to Insiders;
(c) reduces the exercise price of an Award, except pursuant to the provisions in the Omnibus Plan which permit the Plan Administrator to make equitable adjustments in the event of transactions affecting the Company or its capital;
(d) extends the term of an Award beyond the original expiry date (except where an expiry date would have fallen within a blackout period applicable to the Participant or within five business days following the expiry of such a blackout period);
(e) permits an Award to be exercisable beyond 10 years from its date of grant (except where an expiry date would have fallen within a blackout period);
(f) increases or removes the non-employee director participation limits;
(g) permits Awards to be transferred to a person;
(h) changes the eligible participants of the Omnibus Plan; or
(i) deletes or reduces the range of amendments which require shareholder approval.
The Board has unanimously approved the continued use of the Omnibus Plan and recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the resolution to re-approve the Omnibus Plan. The complete text of the resolution (the “Omnibus Plan Re-Approval Resolution”) which management intends to place before the Meeting for approval, confirmation and adoption, with or without modification, is as follows:
“WHEREAS the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange require shareholder approval for the re-approval of the omnibus equity incentive plan (“Omnibus Plan”) of Goliath Resources Limited (the “Company”);
BE IT RESOLVED, AS AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION, THAT, subject to regulatory approval:
-
The omnibus equity incentive compensation plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) of the Company is hereby re-approved, authorized and adopted;
-
the number of common shares (“Common Shares”) reserved for issuance under the Omnibus Plan and all the security-based compensation arrangements of the Company will be (i) a rolling number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of Options (including existing Options) of up to ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding share capital and (ii) a “fixed” number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to all Awards (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) (including existing Awards) other than Options and under any other security based compensation arrangement of up to 10,399,096 Common Shares, subject to adjustment as provided in the Omnibus Plan and any subsequent amendment to the Omnibus Plan including as proposed in the management information circular of the Company dated November 30, 2025;
-
the Board of Directors of the Company is hereby authorized and empowered to make any changes to the Omnibus Plan as may be required by the TSX Venture Exchange; and
-
any one officer and director of the Company be and is hereby authorized for and on behalf of the Company to execute and deliver all such instruments and documents and to perform and do all such acts and things as may be deemed advisable in such individual’s discretion for the purpose of giving effect to this resolution, the execution of any such document or the doing of any such other act or thing being conclusive evidence of such determination.”
COMMON SHARES REPRESENTED BY PROXIES IN FAVOUR OF MANAGEMENT NOMINEES WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOUR OF THE OMNIBUS PLAN RE-APPROVAL RESOLUTION, UNLESS THE SHAREHOLDER HAS SPECIFIED IN THE PROXY THAT HIS, HER OR ITS COMMON SHARES ARE
16
TO BE WITHHELD FROM VOTING IN RESPECT THEREOF. AN AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF A MAJORITY OF THE VOTES CAST BY SHAREHOLDERS AT THE MEETING IS SUFFICIENT FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE OMNIBUS PLAN RE-APPROVAL RESOLUTION.
The re-approval of the Omnibus Plan is also subject to the acceptance of the TSXV and all required regulatory approvals. The Company will not grant any Awards under the plan if such approval is not obtained.
Amendment to Omnibus Plan
The Company is proposing to amend the Omnibus Plan to increase the maximum number of Common Shares that may be reserved for issuance under the “fixed” portion of the Omnibus Plan from 10,399,096 to 17,175,405. As of the date hereof, 2025, 4,321,765 Common Shares remain available for issuance pursuant to RSUs, DSUs, PSUs or Other Share-Based Awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, representing 2.52% of the Company’s currently issued and outstanding shares. The additional 6,776,309 Common Shares in the event that the amendment to the Omnibus Plan is approved (not including the 4,321,765 Awards available for grant prior to the amendment to the Omnibus Plan) that would be reserved for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan would represent 3.95% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares. Increasing the number of Common Shares which may be issued pursuant to RSUs, DSUs, PSUs or Other Share-Based Awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan will provide the Company with flexibility to grant additional RSUs, DSUs, PSUs or Other Share-Based Awards to eligible participants in the future.
Effective December 3, 2025, the Board approved and adopted the amendment to the Omnibus Incentive Plan, subject to TSXV and disinterested Shareholder approval.
Approval of Amendments to the Omnibus Incentive Plan
At the Meeting, disinterested Shareholders will be asked to approve an ordinary resolution (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan Amendment Resolution”), substantially in the form set below to approve the amendment to the Omnibus Plan described above. Non-disinterested Shareholders, whose votes will be excluded when tabulating the results of the Omnibus Incentive Plan Amendment Resolution, include any Insiders (as such term is defined in TSXV Policy 1.1 – Interpretation) to whom Awards may be granted under the Omnibus Plan and each of their respective Associates and Affiliates (as such terms are defined in TSXV Policy 1.1 – Interpretation). As at the date of this Circular, disinterested Shareholders own 164,859,806 Common Shares.
It is intended that all proxies received will be voted in favour of the resolution to approve the Omnibus Plan Amendment Resolution, unless a proxy contains instructions to vote against the resolution. The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by disinterested Shareholders present in person or by proxy is required to approve the Omnibus Incentive Plan Amendment Resolution
Approval of the Omnibus Plan Amendment Resolution
Shareholder Approval
The Board has unanimously approved the amendment to the Omnibus Plan and recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the resolution approving the amendment to the Omnibus Plan. The complete text of the resolution (the “Omnibus Plan Amendment Resolution”) which management intends to place before the Meeting for approval, confirmation and adoption, with or without modification, is as follows:
“WHEREAS the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange require disinterested shareholder approval for the amendment to the Omnibus Plan to increase the number of Awards that may be granted;
BE IT RESOLVED, AS AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION, THAT:
-
the proposed amendments to the omnibus incentive plan of the Company (the “Omnibus Plan”), as described in the Management Information Circular of the Company dated November 30, 2025, are hereby approved;
-
any officer or director of the Company is hereby authorized, for and on behalf of the Company, to do all such things and execute all such documents and instruments as may be necessary or desirable to give effect to this resolution; and
-
any one officer and director of the Company be and is hereby authorized for and on behalf of the Company to execute and deliver all such instruments and documents and to perform and do all such acts and things as
17
may be deemed advisable in such individual’s discretion for the purpose of giving effect to this resolution, the execution of any such document or the doing of any such other act or thing being conclusive evidence of such determination.”
COMMON SHARES REPRESENTED BY PROXIES IN FAVOUR OF MANAGEMENT NOMINEES WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOUR OF THE OMNIBUS PLAN AMENDMENT RESOLUTION, UNLESS THE SHAREHOLDER HAS SPECIFIED IN THE PROXY THAT HIS, HER OR ITS COMMON SHARES ARE TO BE WITHHELD FROM VOTING IN RESPECT THEREOF. AN AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF A MAJORITY OF THE VOTES CAST BY SHAREHOLDERS AT THE MEETING IS SUFFICIENT FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE OMNIBUS PLAN AMENDMENT RESOLUTION.
The amendment to the Omnibus Plan is also subject to the acceptance of the TSXV and all required regulatory approvals. The additional Awards resulting from such amendment will not be available for grant if such approval is not obtained.
Approval of Consolidation
The Board has determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company to seek approval of the Shareholders to consolidate all of its issued and outstanding Common Shares. At the Meeting, the Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, pass a special resolution (the “Consolidation Resolution”) authorizing a share consolidation of the Company’s Common Shares on the basis of a ratio of one (1) post-consolidation Common Share for up to seven (7) pre-consolidation Common Shares, with such ratio to be determined by the Board at its sole discretion, with effect on a date to be determined by the Board at its sole discretion (the “Consolidation”). So long as the Consolidation does not exceed a ratio of one (1) post-consolidation Common Share for seven (7) pre-consolidation Common Shares, the Board may choose any consolidation ratio that it determines is in the best interest of the Company.
In order to be adopted, the CBCA requires that the Consolidation be approved by a special resolution of Shareholders. To approve the special resolution, not less than two thirds or 66⅔% of the votes cast by the Shareholders, whether in person or by proxy, must be voted in favour of the Consolidation. The resolution will empower the Board to revoke the Consolidation Resolution, without further approval of the Shareholders of the Company, in the Board’s discretion at any time.
Following a vote by the Board to implement the Share Consolidation, the Company will file articles of amendment with the Director under the CBCA to amend the Company’s articles of incorporation. The Consolidation will become effective on the date shown in the certificate of amendment issued by the Director under the CBCA or such other date indicated in the articles of amendment provided that, in any event, such date will be prior to the next annual meeting of Shareholders.
The Board believes that the Consolidation will provide a share structure that may position the Company to attract significant capital financing on favourable terms and enhance future growth opportunities. Furthermore, the Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company to be in a position to reduce the number of outstanding Common Shares by way of the Consolidation. The potential benefits of the Consolidation include:
(a) attracting greater investor interest - the Consolidation may have the effect of raising, on a proportionate basis, the price of the Company’s Common Shares, which could appeal to certain investors that find shares valued above certain prices to be more attractive from an investment perspective;
(b) increasing institutional investor participation – certain institutional investors have internal guidelines which prevent them from investing in small- or micro-cap stocks, regardless of the strength of the operations and management of the target investee company;
(c) providing greater flexibility in business opportunities – the Company believes that the Consolidation may provide the Company with greater flexibility in considering business opportunities that are affected by the share capital of the Company and pricing of warrants and options;
(d) complying with listing criteria for U.S. stock exchanges that require a certain minimum price per share should the Company pursue a new listing; and
(e) improving the prospects of raising additional capital at a higher price per share – the higher anticipated price of the post-consolidation Common Shares may allow the Company to raise additional capital through the sale of
additional Common Shares at a higher price per Common Share than would be possible in the absence of the Consolidation.
In the event that the Shareholders pass the Consolidation Resolution to consolidate the Common Shares and the Board determines to consolidate the Common Shares, the presently issued and outstanding 171,754,056 Common Shares will be consolidated into approximately the number of Common Shares post-consolidation set out in the table below:
| Consolidation Ratio | Number of Post-Consolidation Common Shares |
|---|---|
| 1 (new) for 2 (old) | 85,877,028 |
| 1 (new) for 3 (old) | 57,251,352 |
| 1 (new) for 4 (old) | 42,938,514 |
| 1 (new) for 5 (old) | 34,350,811 |
| 1 (new) for 6 (old) | 28,625,676 |
| 1 (new) for 7 (old) | 24,536,294 |
The foregoing consolidation ratios are provided solely for the purpose of illustrating the various potential share consolidation ratios the Company may decide to use. In the event the Consolidation Resolution is passed by the Shareholders, the Board shall have the right to determine which of such consolidation ratio may be in the best interest of the Company. The Board may also determine not to proceed with the Consolidation.
Principal Effects of the Consolidation
If the Consolidation is approved, it would be implemented, if at all, only upon a determination by the Board that the Consolidation is in the best interests of the Company at the appropriate time and subject to the approval of the TSXV. In connection with any determination to implement a Consolidation, the Company's Board will set the timing for such a Consolidation and select the specific ratio from within the range set forth in the Consolidation Resolution below. No further action on the part of the Shareholders would be required in order for the Board to implement the Consolidation. The Consolidation, when implemented, will occur simultaneously for all Common Shares and the consolidation ratio will be the same for all such Common Shares. Except for any variances attributable to fractional shares, the change in the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares that will result from the Consolidation will cause no change in the capital attributable to the Common Shares and will not materially affect any Shareholder's percentage ownership in the Company, even though such ownership will be represented by a smaller number of Common Shares.
Furthermore, the Consolidation will not affect any Shareholder's proportionate voting rights. Each Share outstanding after the Consolidation will be entitled to one vote. The principal effects of the Consolidation will be that the number of Common Shares issued and outstanding will be reduced from 171,754,056 Common Shares to a lower number, depending on the ratio selected by the Board of Directors. See the table above.
Should the Consolidation be approved by Shareholders, accepted by the TSXV and implemented by the Board, Shareholders who hold share certificates will be required to exchange their share certificates representing the pre-consolidation Common Shares for new share certificates representing post-consolidation Common Shares. Each outstanding stock option, warrant, right or other security of the Company convertible into pre-consolidation Common Shares ("Pre-Consolidation Convertible Securities") will, on the effective date of the implementation of the Consolidation, be adjusted pursuant to the terms thereof on the same consolidation ratio as described in the Consolidation Resolution below, and each holder of Pre-Consolidation Convertible Securities will become entitled to receive post-consolidation Common Shares pursuant to such adjusted terms.
If and when the Board determines to implement the Consolidation, it is expected that Computershare will send a letter of transmittal to each Shareholder as soon as practicable after the implementation of the Consolidation. The letter of transmittal will contain instructions on how Shareholders can surrender their share certificates representing pre-consolidation Common Shares to Computershare. Computershare will forward to each Shareholder who has sent in their share certificates pre-consolidation Common Shares, along with such other documents as Computershare may require, a new share certificate representing the number of post-consolidation
Common Shares to which such Shareholder is entitled. No share certificates will be issued for fractional shares and any fractions of a share will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Common Shares.
In general, the Consolidation will not be considered to result in a disposition of Common Shares by Shareholders for Canadian federal income tax purposes. The aggregate adjusted cost base to a common shareholder for such purposes of all Common Shares held by the common shareholder will not change as a result of the Consolidation; however, the Shareholder's adjusted cost base per Common Share will increase proportionately. This summary is of a general nature only and is not, and is not intended to be, legal or tax advice to any common shareholder. It is not exhaustive of all
19
federal income tax considerations. Accordingly, Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors having regard to their own particular circumstances.
Effect on Non-Registered Shareholders
Non-registered shareholders holding their Common Shares through a bank, broker or other nominee should note that such banks, brokers or other nominees may have different procedures for processing the Consolidation than the procedures that will be used by the Company for registered shareholders. If you hold your Common Shares with such a bank, broker or other nominee and if you have questions in this regard, you are encouraged to contact your nominee.
Certain Risks associated with the Consolidation
The effect of the Consolidation upon the market price of the Common Shares cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the history of similar share consolidations for corporations similar to the Company is varied. There can be no assurance that, if the Consolidation is implemented, the Company will be successful in attracting new capital financing or the potential benefits listed above will be realized. There can be no assurance that the total market capitalization of the Common Shares immediately following the Consolidation will be equal to or greater than the total market capitalization immediately before the Consolidation. In addition, there can be no assurance that the per-share market price of the Common Shares following the Consolidation will remain higher than the per-share market price immediately before the Consolidation or equal or exceed the direct arithmetical result of the Consolidation. In addition, a decline in the market price of the Common Shares after the Consolidation may result in a greater percentage decline than would occur in the absence of the Consolidation. In addition, there can be no assurances that even if the Consolidation is effected, that the resulting market price of the Common Shares will be sufficient for the Company to meet initial listing bid price requirements for a U.S. securities exchange listing or that the Company will meet the other requirements for initial listing on a U.S. securities exchange, and even if it does, that it will pursue such a listing. Furthermore, the Consolidation may lead to an increase in the number of Shareholders who will hold "odd lots"; that is, a number of shares not evenly divisible into board lots (a board lot is either 100, 500 or 1,000 shares, depending on the price of the shares). As a general rule, the cost to Shareholders transferring an odd lot of Common Shares is somewhat higher than the cost of transferring a "board lot". Nonetheless, despite the risks and the potential increased cost to Shareholders in transferring odd lots of post-Consolidation Common Shares, the Board believes the Consolidation is in the best interest of all Shareholders.
No Dissent Rights
Under the CBCA, Shareholders do not have dissent and appraisal rights with respect to the proposed Consolidation.
Resolution
The Board has unanimously approved the amendment to the Omnibus Plan and recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the resolution approving the Consolidation. In order to pass the Consolidation Resolution, not less than two thirds or 66⅔% of the votes cast by the Shareholders, whether in person or by proxy, must be voted in favour of the Consolidation Resolution. If the Consolidation Resolution does not receive the requisite Shareholder approval, the Company will continue with its present share capital. The complete text of the resolution (the "Consolidation Resolution") which management intends to place before the Meeting for approval, confirmation and adoption, with or without modification, is as follows:
"BE IT RESOLVED AS A SPECIAL RESOLUTION, THAT:
-
the Board of Directors of the Company, subject to receipt of all regulatory approvals including from the TSX Venture Exchange, be and is hereby authorized to consolidate the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation common share of the Company for up to every seven (7) pre-consolidation Common Shares of the Company currently outstanding, with the exact ratio of consolidation of Common Shares of the Company to be determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion;
-
no fractional post-consolidation Common Shares be issued and no cash paid in lieu of fractional post-consolidation Common Shares, such that any fractional interest in Common Shares resulting from the Share Consolidation will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of post-consolidation common shares;
-
the Board of Directors of the Company is hereby authorized to amend the articles of incorporation of the Company such that all of the Company's common shares, both issued and unissued, be consolidated to effect
20
the Consolidation on a ratio determined by the Board not exceeding the ratio of one (1) post-consolidation common share of the Company for every seven (7) pre-consolidation common shares of the Company, so that up to every seven (7) of such pre-consolidation common shares of the Company be consolidated into one (1) post-consolidation common share of the Company;
-
the effective date of such Consolidation shall be the date shown in the certificate of amendment issued by the director appointed under the CBCA or such other date indicated in the articles of amendment provided that, in any event, such date shall be prior to the date of the next annual meeting of shareholders;
-
any one director and any one officer of the Company be and are hereby authorized and directed for and on behalf of the Company (whether under its corporate seal or otherwise) to execute and deliver a resolution of the directors setting the effective date and consolidation ratio of the Consolidation and to effect the foregoing resolutions and all other documents and instruments and to take all such other actions as such officer or director may deem necessary or desirable to implement the foregoing resolutions and the matters authorized hereby, such determinations to be conclusively evidenced by the execution and delivery of such documents or other instruments or the taking of any such action; and
-
notwithstanding the approval of the Shareholders of the Company to the foregoing resolutions, the Board of Directors of the Company may, in its sole discretion, revoke the foregoing resolutions before they are acted upon without any further approval of the Shareholders of the Company.”
COMMON SHARES REPRESENTED BY PROXIES IN FAVOUR OF MANAGEMENT NOMINEES WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOUR OF THE CONSOLIDATION RESOLUTION, UNLESS THE SHAREHOLDER HAS SPECIFIED IN THE PROXY THAT HIS, HER OR ITS COMMON SHARES ARE TO BE WITHHELD FROM VOTING IN RESPECT THEREOF. AN AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF A TWO/THIRDS MAJORITY OF THE VOTES CAST BY SHAREHOLDERS PRESENT IN PERSON OR BY PROXY AT THE MEETING IS SUFFICIENT FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE CONSOLIDATION RESOLUTION.
The Consolidation is also subject to the acceptance of the TSXV and all required regulatory approvals. The Company will not proceed with the Consolidation if such approval is not obtained.
STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Named Executive Officer
The purpose of this Statement of Executive Compensation is to provide information about the Company’s philosophy, objectives and processes regarding executive compensation. This disclosure is intended to communicate the compensation provided to the most highly compensated executive officers of the Company (the “NEOs”). For the purposes of this Information Circular, a 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
(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, 2025 financial year-end.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, 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 director and officer compensation are performed by the Board as a whole, including: (i) the review of and recommendations for director compensation; (ii) oversight of the Company’s base compensation structure and equity-based compensation programs; (iii) recommendations for compensation of the Company’s officers, employees and consultants; and (iv) the evaluation
21
of the performance of officers, employees and consultants 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: (i) base fee; and (ii) long-term incentive in the form of Options and other Awards.
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 in such corporate performance.
Long-Term Incentive
The Company provides a long-term incentive by granting Options and other Awards to directors and executive officers under the Omnibus Plan. See “Approval of the Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan” for a summary of the material terms of the Omnibus Plan.
The objective of granting Options and other Awards is to encourage directors and officers to acquire an ownership interest in the Company over a period of time, which acts as a financial incentive for such directors and officers to consider the long term interests of the Company and its shareholders.
As of the date of this Information Circular, the Company had 12,962,670 Options and 6,077,331 RSUs issued and outstanding under the Omnibus Plan.
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.
Consulting Agreements
The Company entered into a consulting agreement (the “Rosmus Agreement”) with Roger Rosmus effective as of April 1, 2025 (which superseded and replaced a consulting agreement dated November 1, 2024, between Mr. Rosmus and the Company), pursuant to which Mr. Rosmus agreed to provide the services of CEO to the Company. In consideration for such services, the Company has agreed to pay Mr. Rosmus a fee of USD $25,000 per month, as well as grant Mr. Rosmus Awards pursuant to the Omnibus Plan. The Rosmus Agreement will remain in effect until December 31, 2029, unless terminated earlier. Pursuant to the Rosmus Agreement, if there is a Change in Control (as defined herein) and either the Company or Mr. Rosmus terminates the Rosmus Agreement within one year following the Change in Control, or there is a change in position or city in which Mr. Rosmus performs his work and Mr. Rosmus terminates the Rosmus Agreement pursuant to such change, Mr. Rosmus shall be paid a lump sum of USD $500,000 and any outstanding Awards of Mr. Rosmus shall immediately vest and become exercisable, realizable or payable in accordance with the terms of the Omnibus Plan.
The Company entered into a consulting agreement (the “Warren Agreement”) with Graham Warren effective as of April 1, 2025 (which superseded and replaced a consulting agreement dated November 1, 2024, between Mr. Warren and the Company), pursuant to which Mr. Warren agreed to provide the services of CFO to the Company. In
consideration for such services, the Company has agreed to pay Mr. Warren a fee of $28,000 per month plus HST, as well as grant Mr. Warren Awards pursuant to the Omnibus Plan. The Warren Agreement will remain in effect until December 31, 2029, unless terminated earlier. Pursuant to the Warren Agreement, if there is a Change in Control and either the Company or Mr. Warren terminates the Warren Agreement within one year following the Change in Control, or there is a change in position or city in which Mr. Warren performs his work and Mr. Warren terminates the Warren Agreement pursuant to such change, Mr. Warren shall be paid a lump sum of $550,000 and any outstanding Awards of Mr. Warren shall immediately vest and become exercisable, realizable or payable in accordance with the terms of the Omnibus Plan.
Under each of the Rosmus Agreement and the Warren Agreement, a "Change in Control" means, generally: (1) any change in the holding, direct or indirect, of securities of the Company or of any voting rights attached to any securities of the Company, as a result of which any corporation or other person, or a group of corporations or persons acting in concert, or corporations or persons associated or affiliated with any such corporation, person or group within the meaning of the Securities Act (Ontario), would be entitled to cast more than fifty percent (50%) of the votes attached to all shares of the Company that may be cast to elect directors of the Company; (2) any change in the constitution of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company, such that more than fifty percent (50%) of the directors of the Company who are neither employees nor officers of the Company or any of its affiliates (within the meaning of the CBCA (Canada)) are persons not approved or previously approved by the Consultant; (3) the Company shall consolidate or merge with or into, amalgamate with, or enter into a statutory arrangement with, any other person (other than a subsidiary of the Company) or any other person (other than a subsidiary of the Company) shall consolidate or merge with or into, or amalgamate with or enter into a statutory arrangement with, the Company, and, in connection therewith, all or part of the outstanding voting shares shall be changed in any way, reclassified or converted into, exchanged or otherwise acquired for shares or other securities of the Company or any other person or for cash or any other property; and (4) the Company shall sell or otherwise transfer, including by way of the grant of a leasehold interest (or one or more of its subsidiaries shall sell or otherwise transfer, including by way of the grant of a leasehold interest), property or assets (A) aggregating more than 50% of the consolidated assets (measured by either book value or fair market value) of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the end of the most recently completed financial year of the Company or (B) which during the most recently completed financial year of the Company generated, or during the then current financial year of the Company are expected to generate, more than 50% of the consolidated operating income or cash flow of the Company and its subsidiaries, to any other person or persons (other than the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries).

Notes:
(1) Options issued under the Omnibus Plan are accounted for using the fair value 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: (i) dividend yield - nil, (ii) expected volatility 2024 - 124% (2023 - 134%), (iii) risk free rate - 2024 - 3.77% (2023 - 3.39%), and (iv) expected life - 5 years.

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.
27
National Policy 58-201 - Corporate Governance Guidelines 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 entirely.
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 Rein Turna. It is proposed that Roger Rosmus, Graham C. Warren, Wayne Isaacs and Rein Turna 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.
Directorships
The following is a list of those directors of the Company who are directors of other reporting issuers as of the date thereof:
| Director | Reporting Issuer |
|---|---|
| Graham C. Warren | Zodiac Gold Inc. |
| Wayne Isaacs | AM Resources Corp. |
| ThreeD Capital Inc. | |
| Delta Uranium Inc. |
See "Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon – Election of Directors – Other Reporting Issuer Experience".
Orientation and Continuing Education
The Board has no formal governance policies relating to the directors' orientation and continuing education. Each director ultimately assumes responsibility for keeping himself informed about the Company's business and relevant
28
developments outside the Company that affect its business. Management assists directors by providing them with regular updates on relevant developments and other information that management considers of interest to the Board.
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. To ensure that an ethical business culture is maintained and promoted, directors are encouraged to exercise their independent judgment. If a director has a material interest in any transaction or agreement that the Company proposes to enter into, such director is expected to disclose such interest to the Board in compliance with the applicable laws, rules and policies which govern conflicts of interest in connection with such transaction or agreement. Further, any director who has a material interest in any proposed transaction or agreement will be excluded from the portion of the Board meeting concerning such matters and will be further precluded from voting on such matters.
Nomination of Directors
The Board is responsible for the identification and assessment of potential directors. While no formal nomination procedures are in place to identify new candidates, the Board does review the experience and performance of nominees for election to the Board. Members of the Board are canvassed with respect to the qualifications of a prospective candidate and each candidate is evaluated with respect to his or her experience and expertise, with particular attention paid to those areas of expertise that could complement and enhance current management. The Board also assesses any potential conflicts, independence or time commitment concerns that the candidate may present.
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 (as defined herein). See “Audit Committee”.
Compensation
The process undertaken by the Board in respect of compensation is more fully described in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”.
Diversity
On January 1, 2020, amendments to the CBCA came 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 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
29
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.
AUDIT COMMITTEE DISCLOSURE
The audit committee of the Board (the "Audit Committee") is responsible for the Company's financial reporting process and quality of its financial reporting. The Audit Committee is charged with the mandate of providing independent review and oversight of the Company's financial reporting process, the system of internal control and management of financial risks, and the audit process, including the selection, oversight and compensation of the Company's external auditors.
