GREEN SHIFT COMMODITIES LTD.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

This management information circular (the "Circular") is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Green Shift Commodities Ltd. (the "Corporation" or "Green Shift") for use at the annual and special meeting of holders (the "Shareholders") of common shares of the Corporation ("Common Shares") referred to in the accompanying Notice of the Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders (the "Notice") to be held at 217 Queen Street West, Suite 401, Toronto, Ontario, Toronto, Ontario M5V 0R2, on June 26, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) and at any postponement or adjournment thereof (the "Meeting").

Solicitation will be primarily by mail; however, proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone by employees or agents of the Corporation at nominal cost. These persons will receive no compensation for such solicitation, other than their ordinary salaries or fees. All costs of solicitation by management will be borne by the Corporation. Pursuant to National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer ("NI 54-101"), arrangements have been made with clearing agencies, brokerage houses and other financial intermediaries to forward proxy-related materials to NOBOs (as defined herein). See "Information Regarding the Voting of Shares – Beneficial Shareholders and Delivery Matters" below. The Corporation will provide, without cost to such persons, upon request to the Secretary of the Corporation, additional copies of the foregoing documents for this purpose.

The Corporation's board of directors (the "Board") has, by resolution, fixed the close of business on May 22, 2025, as the record date (the "Record Date"), being the date for the determination of the registered holders of the Common Shares entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting.

Unless otherwise stated, the information contained in this Circular is given as of May 26, 2025, and all dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars. All references herein to the Corporation shall include its subsidiaries as the context may require. References in this Circular to the Meeting include any postponement or adjournment thereof.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE VOTING OF SHARES

Registered Shareholders

Voting by Proxy

Common Shares represented by properly executed forms of proxy (the "Proxy") in favour of the persons named in the enclosed Proxy will be voted or withheld from voting on any ballot that may be called for and, if the Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be voted upon, the Common Shares will be voted in accordance with the specification made by the Shareholder. If no specification is made, such Common Shares will be voted FOR the matters set forth in the Notice.

The enclosed Proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice and with respect to other matters that may properly come before the Meeting. At the date of this Circular, management is not aware that any such amendments, variations or other matters are to be presented before the Meeting. However, if any other matters not presently known to the Corporation's management should properly come before the Meeting, the Proxy will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgement of the named proxyholders.

Appointment of Proxy

The persons named in the enclosed Proxy are officers of Green Shift. Each registered Shareholder (a "Registered Shareholder") has the right to appoint a person or company, who need not be a Shareholder of the Corporation, other than the persons named in the enclosed Proxy, to represent such Registered Shareholder at the Meeting. To exercise this right, a Registered Shareholder may strike out the names printed on the Proxy and insert such person's name in the blank space provided in the enclosed Proxy or by completing another proper Proxy. All proxies must be executed by the Registered Shareholder or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing or, if the Registered Shareholder is a company, by a duly authorized officer or attorney. The completed Proxy must be deposited at the office of the


Corporation's transfer agent, Odyssey Trust Company (“Odyssey”), 702 – 67 Yonge Street, Toronto ON M5E 1J8, facsimile (416) 361-0470, no later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on June 24, 2025, or no later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time to which the Meeting has been rescheduled, if it has been postponed or adjourned.

A Registered Shareholder may indicate how his/her/its appointee is to vote with respect to any specific item by checking the appropriate space in the Proxy. If the Shareholder giving the Proxy wishes to confer a discretionary authority with respect to any item of business, then the space opposite the item is to be left blank. The Common Shares represented by the Proxy submitted by a Registered Shareholder will be voted in accordance with the directions, if any, given in the Proxy.

Shareholders who are not registered holders of Common Shares should refer to "Information Regarding the Voting of Shares – Beneficial Shareholders and Delivery Matters" below.

Revocation of Proxies

A Registered Shareholder may revoke his or her Proxy as to any matter on which a vote has not already been cast pursuant to the authority conferred by such Proxy and may do so either by depositing an instrument in writing revoking the Proxy executed by him or her with Odyssey at the address noted above at any time up to and including 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or in any other manner permitted by law.

Beneficial Shareholders

A beneficial Shareholder (a "Beneficial Shareholder") is a Shareholder whose Common Shares are registered in the name of a representative such as a securities dealer, broker, bank, trust company or other intermediary (an "Intermediary") rather than directly in the Shareholder's name. Beneficial Shareholders should note that only proxies deposited by Shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Corporation as the registered holders of Common Shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof. If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those Common Shares will not be registered in the Shareholder's name in the records of the Corporation. Those Common Shares will most likely be registered under the name of the Shareholder's broker, an agent of that broker or other Intermediary. In Canada, most of such shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Common Shares held by Intermediaries can be voted (for or against resolutions or withheld from voting) only upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, the Intermediaries are prohibited from voting shares for their clients.

There are two categories of Beneficial Shareholders under applicable securities regulations for purposes of dissemination to Beneficial Shareholders of proxy-related materials and other security holder materials and requests for voting instructions from such Beneficial Shareholders. Non-objecting beneficial owners ("NOBOs") are Beneficial Shareholders who have advised their Intermediary (such as brokers or other nominees) that they do not object to their Intermediary disclosing ownership information to the Corporation, consisting of their name, address, e-mail address, securities holdings and preferred language of communication. Canadian securities laws restrict the use of that information to matters strictly relating to the affairs of the Corporation. Objecting beneficial owners ("OBOs") are Beneficial Shareholders who have advised their Intermediary that they object to their Intermediary disclosing such ownership information to the Corporation. The Corporation will use and pay Intermediaries and agents to send such materials indirectly to Beneficial Shareholders.

NOBOs and OBOs will receive a voting instruction form (the "Voting Instruction Form" or "VIF") from an Intermediary by way of instruction of their financial institution. In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit Beneficial Shareholders to direct the voting of his/her/its Common Shares. The VIF will contain instructions relating to the signature and return of the document and these instructions should be carefully read and followed by the Beneficial Shareholder to ensure that their Common Shares are voted accordingly at the Meeting. Should a Beneficial Shareholder who receives either a VIF or Proxy wish to vote at the Meeting in person, the Beneficial Shareholder should either (i) strike out the persons named in the Proxy, if applicable, and insert the Beneficial Shareholder's name in the blank space provided in order to appoint themselves as proxyholders, and follow the signature and return instructions provided; or (ii) carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary contained in the VIF, if applicable, including those regarding when and where the VIF is to be delivered.


INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSON IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

No person who has been a director or an officer of the Corporation at any time since the beginning of its last completed financial year, and no proposed nominee for election as a director of the Corporation, or any 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 of special business to be acted upon at the Meeting, other than the approval of the Equity-Based Incentive Plan (as defined herein).

Green Shift’s authorized capital consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares. As of the Record Date, 137,726,218 Common Shares were outstanding. Each Common Share carries the right to one vote on all matters to be acted upon at the Meeting. The Common Shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) under the symbol “GCOM”.

Shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date, being May 22, 2025, are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting or at any postponement or adjournment thereof. No persons who become Shareholders following the Record Date will be entitled to notice of or to vote at the Meeting.

PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

To the knowledge of the Corporation’s directors and officers, as of the Record Date, no Shareholder beneficially owns, or exercises control or direction over, directly or indirectly, securities carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to any class of voting securities of the Corporation to be voted at the Meeting.

STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Named Executive Officers

For the purposes of this Circular, a Named Executive Officer (“NEO” or “Named Executive”) of the Corporation means each of the following individuals:

(a) a chief executive officer (“CEO”) of the Corporation;

(b) a chief financial officer (“CFO”) of the Corporation;

(c) in respect of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, the most highly compensated executive officer other than the individuals identified in paragraphs (a) and (b) at the end of the most recently completed financial year whose total compensation was more than $150,000; and

(d) each individual who would be an NEO under paragraph (c) above but for the fact that the individual was neither an executive officer of the Corporation, nor acting in a similar capacity, at the end of that financial year.

During the financial year ended December 31, 2024, the Corporation had three NEOs: Trumbull Fisher, the CEO, John Ross, the CFO and Peter Mullens, the Execution Chairman of the Corporation.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Corporation’s approach to executive compensation in 2024 was to provide suitable compensation for executives that is internally equitable, externally competitive and reflects individual achievement. Green Shift attempts to maintain compensation arrangements that will attract and retain highly qualified individuals who are able and capable of carrying out the objectives of the Corporation.

The Corporation’s compensation arrangements for the Named Executives may, in addition to salary, include bonuses and, over a longer term, benefits arising from the grant of stock options (“Options”) under the Corporation’s equity-based incentive plan (the “Equity-Based Incentive Plan” or “EIP”).

Given the Corporation’s stage of development in the mining industry, and the extremely challenging uranium industry over the last ten years, compensation was previously cut due the difficulty of raising funds, and Option awards were used to incentivize and retain NEOs and to conserve cash. This policy changed in 2022 to instead re-introduce salaries or consulting fees, with cash bonuses, combined with reduced reliance on Option awards, depending upon the future


development of the Corporation and other factors which may be considered relevant by the Board from time to time. The Corporation has not currently set any objective criteria for any bonuses or incentive plan grants and will instead rely upon any recommendations of the Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee of the Board ("CGCC") and discussion at the Board level with respect to the criteria noted above and any other matters which the Board may consider relevant on a going-forward basis, including the cash position of the Corporation, including the expected nature and scope of duties and responsibilities, past performance, comparison with compensation paid by other issuers of comparable size and stage of development in the mining industry, and the availability of financial and other resources of the Corporation.

Compensation Governance

The Board provides oversight of the Corporation's compensation principles, practices and programs relating to the Named Executives, employees, and the directors of the Corporation, including the management of compensation risk. The Board approves compensation programs and annual compensation for the NEOs, based on the recommendations of the CGCC. The Board also approves the director compensation program on the recommendation of the CGCC.

The CGCC is currently comprised of two directors, namely Michael Skutezky (Chair) and Marty Tunney. Each of Messrs. Skutezky and Tunney are independent within the meaning of applicable securities laws. The CGCC assists the Board in its oversight of compensation, including the review and recommendation of compensation programs, annual awards, and peer companies for benchmarking purposes. The CGCC also analyses whether the Corporation's programs encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking.

Compensation Program Design

On an annual basis, the Board will review the compensation of the NEOs to ensure that each is being compensated in accordance with the key objectives of the Corporation's executive compensation program, which are: (i) recruiting and retaining executives critical to the success of the Corporation and the enhancement of Shareholder value; (ii) providing fair and competitive compensation; (iii) balancing the interests of management and the Shareholders; and (iv) rewarding performance, both on an individual basis and with respect to operations in general.

In order to achieve these objectives, the compensation for the Corporation's NEOs is typically comprised of the following elements: (i) base salary or consulting fees, (ii) cash bonuses that may be awarded annually, and (iii) grants of Options under the EIP.

Base Salary

Base salaries represent the minimum compensation to NEOs for services rendered. Base salaries are determined by the Board, based on the recommendations of the CGCC. Base salaries depend on the scope of the NEO's experience, responsibilities, leadership skills, performance, length of service, generally industry trends and practices competitiveness, and the Corporation's existing financial resources.

Cash Bonus Payments

Cash bonuses are used to motivate and reward NEOs to achieve the Corporation's annual objectives. Bonuses are determined at the discretion of the Board, based on the recommendations of the CGCC. Factors considered in awarding a cash bonus include an NEO's contributions to the achievement of predetermined corporate goals, achievement of individual objectives, and the Corporation's overall performance and financial resources.

Equity-Based Compensation

Grants of Options and/or Common Shares under the Equity-Based Incentive Plan are made as long-term incentive compensation to align the individual's grantee's interests with those of the Corporation. Options and/or grants of Common Shares are awarded by the Board, based on the recommendations of the CGCC. Decisions with respect to Options granted are based on competitive market compensation data, the individual's level of responsibility, and ability to contribute towards the Corporation's goals and objectives. Existing Options held by the NEOs at the time of subsequent Option grants are also taken into consideration in determining the quantum or terms of any such subsequent Option grants.

Employment, Consulting, and Management Agreements

The material terms of each agreement under which compensation was provided during the financial year ended December 31, 2024, or is payable in respect of services provided to the Corporation by each NEO or director, is set out below.

Trumbull Fisher, Chief Executive Officer

The Corporation entered into an independent contractor agreement effective as of August 18, 2022, pursuant to which Mr. Fisher has agreed to provide services as CEO. Mr. Fisher's contract with the Corporation provided for annual base salary in the amount of $120,000 prior to the achievement of the Funding Trigger (as defined herein) and $240,000 after the achievement of the Funding Trigger. For purposes of Mr. Fisher's contract, "Funding Trigger" means the completion of one or more equity financings resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Corporation of at least $5 million. The Funding Trigger has not yet been achieved as at the date of this Circular. Mr. Fisher was also eligible for performance-based cash awards and to participate in the EIP, at the discretion of the Board.

Pursuant to Mr. Fisher's contract, in the event that Mr. Fisher is terminated without cause or resigns with Good Cause (as defined in Mr. Fisher's contract), Mr. Fisher is entitled to a termination payment equal to: (i) reimbursement of any final expenses and annual bonus in respect of a completed fiscal year which has been earned but not paid (the "Final Fees"); (ii) a lump sum equal to the Highest Monthly Bonus (as defined in Mr. Fisher's contract) multiplied by numbers of months completed in the current fiscal year; (iii) an additional lump sum equal to Final Fees and the Highest Monthly Bonus multiplied by three months (the "Fisher Severance Period"). Following the achievement of the Funding Trigger, the Fisher Severance Period is increased to 18 months. The estimated incremental payments

In the event that, following the achievement of the Funding Trigger, Mr. Fisher resigns or is terminated within 12 months following a change of control of the Corporation, Mr. Fisher is entitled to a termination payment equal to: (i) the Final Fees; (ii) a lump sum equal to the Highest Monthly Bonus (as defined in Mr. Fisher's contract) multiplied by numbers of months completed in the current fiscal year; (iii) an additional lump sum equal to Final Fees and the Highest Monthly Bonus multiplied by 24 months. The table below sets out the estimated amounts payable by the Corporation to Mr. Fisher upon termination without cause or resignation for Good Cause or in the event of a change of control of the Corporation.

Given that the Funding Trigger has not yet been achieved, the estimated incremental payments payable by the Corporation to Mr. Fisher upon termination without cause or resignation with Good Cause during the year ended December 31, 2024, was $60,000.

John Ross, Chief Financial Officer

The Corporation entered into an employment agreement effective as of June 1, 2010, pursuant to which Mr. Ross provided services as President and CEO. During 2021 and until July 1, 2022, Mr. Ross received $2,500 per month for his services. Commencing July 1, 2022, Mr. Ross received $7,500 per month for his services. Mr. Ross is not entitled to any payments upon a change of control or termination without cause, other than pursuant to statutory requirements.

Peter Mullens, Executive Chairman

Effective as of January 1, 2024, Mr. Mullens received cash compensation in the amount of $5,000 per month as compensation for the services provided in his capacity as Executive Chairman of the Corporation. This arrangement was suspended effective May 31, 2024. Mr. Mullens is not party to a formal agreement with the Corporation and accordingly is not entitled to any payment upon a change of control or termination without cause.

Compensation Risk Considerations

The CGCC is responsible for considering, establishing and reviewing executive compensation programs, and whether the programs encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking and making recommendations to the Board. The Corporation believes that its current compensation programs are balanced and do not motivate unnecessary or excessive risk taking. The Corporation does not currently have a policy that restricts directors or NEOs from purchasing financial instruments, including, for greater certainty, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, or units of exchange funds that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity. However, to the knowledge of the Corporation, as of the date of hereof, no director or NEO of the Corporation has participated in the purchase of such financial instruments.

Base salaries are fixed in amount and do not encourage risk taking. While annual incentive awards will focus on the achievement of short-term or annual goals and short-term goals may encourage the taking of short-term risks at the expense


of long-term results, the Corporation's annual incentive award program will represent a small percentage of employees' compensation opportunities.

Option awards are important to further align employees' interests with those of the Shareholders. The ultimate value of the awards is tied to the price of the Common Shares and since awards are expected to be staggered and subject to long-term vesting schedules, they will help ensure that NEOs have significant value tied in long-term stock price performance.

Compensation of Directors

The directors received compensation of $5,000 per month during the years ended December 31, 2024 (suspended May 31, 2024), and 2023. The directors are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending directors' and Shareholders' meetings and are also entitled to participate in the Equity-Based Incentive Plan. The Directors are entitled to receive compensation to the extent that they provide services to the Corporation at rates that would be charged by such directors for such services to arm's length parties.

STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

National Policy 58-201 – Corporate Governance Guidelines of the Canadian Securities Administrators (the "Guidelines") has set out best practice guidelines for effective corporate governance. The Guidelines address matters such as the constitution and independence of corporate boards, the functions to be performed by boards and their committees and the effectiveness and education of board members. National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices ("NI 58-101") requires the disclosure by each listed corporation of its approach to corporate governance with reference to the Guidelines as it is recognized that the unique characteristics of individual corporations will result in varying degrees of compliance. Below is a description of the Corporation's corporate governance practices, in accordance with Form 58-101F2 – Corporate Governance Disclosure (Venture Issuers).

The Board of Directors

A director is considered "independent" if they do not have any direct or indirect material relationship with the Corporation that the Board believes could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with his or her ability to exercise independent judgment. Applicable securities laws set out certain situations where a director is deemed to have a material relationship with the Corporation. The Board is currently comprised of four members, two of whom the Board has determined are "independent directors" within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Following the Meeting, if all of the nominees are elected as directors of the Corporation, the Board will be composed of four members, two of whom will be considered independent.

Of the Corporation's four current directors, Michael Skutezky and Marty Tunney are considered independent directors within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Messrs. Mullens and Fisher are not considered to be independent under applicable securities laws as they serve as the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, respectively.

To enhance the Board's ability to act independent of management, the Board meets regularly in the absence of members of management and may excuse such persons from all or a portion of any meeting where a potential conflict of interest arises or where otherwise appropriate. Such meetings of the independent directors occur on an ad hoc basis, as and when required.

Other Directorships

Certain of the Corporation's directors are also directors of other reporting issuers as follows:

Name of Director Other Reporting Issuer (or equivalent in a foreign jurisdiction)
Peter Mullens Mogotes Metals Inc.
Unico Silver Limited
Trumbull Fisher WISR AI Systems Inc.
SBD Capital Corp.
Marty Tunney Premier American Uranium Inc.
Michael Skutezky Western Uranium & Vanadium Corp.

Board Mandate

The Board does not have a written mandate. However, the Board is responsible for the stewardship of the Corporation and for supervising the management of its business and affairs. While management of the Corporation is responsible for the day-to-day conduct of the Corporation's business, in carrying out its supervisory responsibilities, the Board will oversee the development, adoption and implementation of the Corporation's strategies and plans.

The Board's responsibilities, either directly or through committees of the Board, include: (a) adopting a strategic planning process and approving a strategic plan; (b) identifying the Corporation's principal risks and ensuring the implementation of appropriate systems to manage these risks; (c) ensuring appropriate succession planning, including appointing, training and monitoring senior management; (d) developing a communications policy for the Corporation; (e) monitoring and ensuring the integrity of the Corporation's internal control and management information systems; (f) ensuring appropriate standards of corporate conduct, including adopting and monitoring compliance of a code of business conduct and ethics; (g) reviewing and approving material transactions not in the ordinary course of business; (h) reviewing and approving compensation and/or changes in senior management; (i) developing appropriate, applicable corporate governance principles and guidelines; (j) reviewing annually the contribution of the Board as a whole, the committees of the Board and each of the directors; and (k) reviewing and approving the quarterly and annual financial statements, MD&A (as defined herein), annual capital budget and any material changes to the operating budget.

Position Descriptions

Given the small size of the Corporation's infrastructure and the existence of formal charters governing each of the committees of the Board, the Board does not feel that it is necessary at this time to formalize position descriptions for the CEO, Chairman of the Board or the Chairman of each committee in order to delineate their respective responsibilities. Accordingly, these roles are delineated on the basis of customary practice.

Orientation and Continuing Education

While the Corporation currently has no formal orientation and education program for new Board members, sufficient information (such as recent financial statements, prospectuses, proxy solicitation materials, technical reports and various other operating, property and budget reports) is provided to any new Board member to ensure that new directors are familiarized with the Corporation's business and the procedures of the Board. In addition, new directors are encouraged to visit and meet with management on a regular basis. The Corporation also encourages continuing education of its directors and officers, where appropriate, in order to ensure that they have the necessary skills and knowledge to meet their respective obligations to the Corporation.

Ethical Business Conduct

As part of its responsibility for the stewardship of the Corporation, the Board seeks to foster a culture of ethical conduct by requiring the Corporation to carry out its business in line with high business and moral standards and applicable legal and financial requirements. The Board has formalized this in a written code of conduct for directors and employees (the "Code"), a copy of which may be obtained on the Corporations' SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca, on www.greenshiftcommodities.com/corporate/corporate-governance/ or upon request to the Corporation at 401 - 217 Queen Street West, Toronto, ON M5V 0R2, Attention: CEO.

The Code provides specific guidelines and policies for dealing with situations that may be encountered in the workforce in order to promote an open and positive work environment. The Code details the Corporation's policies on: confidentiality, fair dealing, safety and health, and business and governmental relations, among other things.

In addition, the Corporation has adopted a "whistleblower" policy, which allows directors, officers, employees and consultants who feel a violation has occurred to report the actual or potential compliance infraction to the Chair of the Corporation's Audit Committee, on a confidential, anonymous basis.

In order to ensure compliance with the Code and that directors exercise independent judgment, the Board has assumed responsibility for approving transactions involving the Corporation and any "related party" (as that term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions), monitoring the Corporation's compliance with strategic planning matters, implementing a process for assessing the effectiveness of committees of directors and individual directors, and reviewing changes in or additions to compliance policies, standards,


codes and programs, as well as applicable legislation.

The fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Corporation’s governing corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual director’s participation in decisions of the Board in which the director has an interest will ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Corporation.

Under corporate legislation, a director is required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation and to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. In addition, as some of the directors of the Corporation also serve as directors and officers of other companies engaged in similar business activities, directors must comply with the conflict of interest provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “OBCA”), as well as the relevant securities regulatory instruments, in order to ensure that directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in respect of which a director or officer has a material interest. Any interested director will be required to declare the nature and extent of his interest and will not be entitled to vote at meetings of directors at which matters giving rise to such conflict are considered. In certain circumstances, if deemed appropriate, the Corporation may establish a special committee of independent directors to review a matter in which several directors, or management, may have a conflict.

The Corporation has also adopted an Insider Trading Policy which prohibits insiders from using information not available in the public domain for their personal advantage. Insiders are restricted from trading the Corporation’s securities in instances where they are in receipt of material information not in the public domain. The Insider Trading Policy applies to all insiders, directors and officers of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, as well as to all employees, agents, contractors and consultants of the Corporation who receive or who have access to material non-public information of the Corporation.

Nomination of Directors

The Board, as a whole, is responsible for the appointment and assessment of directors. While there are no specific criteria for Board membership, the Corporation attempts to attract and maintain directors with business knowledge and a particular knowledge of mineral exploration and development or other areas (such as finance) which provide knowledge which would assist in guiding the officers of the Corporation. As such, nominations tend to be the result of recruitment efforts by management and discussions among the directors prior to the consideration of the Board as a whole.

Compensation of Directors and Officers

The CGCC is responsible for assisting the Corporation in determining compensation of NEOs, as well as reviewing the adequacy and form of the directors’ compensation in light of the responsibilities, time commitment and risks involved in being an effective director. The CGCC reviews annually the goals and objectives of the CEO for the upcoming year and appraises the CEO’s performance for the past year. It also administers and makes recommendations regarding the operation of the Corporation’s incentive plans. See “Statement of Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above.

In addition to the standing committees of the Board, other committees may be constituted from time to time, when appropriate.

Assessments

The Board does conduct a formal annual assessment of the effectiveness of the Board, its committees and their peers. The Chairman of the Board meets annually with each director individually, which facilitates a discussion of his contribution and that of the other directors. When needed, time is set aside at a meeting of the Board for a discussion regarding the effectiveness of the Board and its committees. If appropriate, the Board then considers procedural or substantive changes to increase the effectiveness of the Board and its committees. On an informal basis, the Chairman of the Board is also responsible for reporting to the Board on areas where improvements can be made.

Director Term Limits and Other Mechanisms of Board Renewal

The Board is concerned that imposing inflexible director term limits or mandatory retirement ages would discount the value of experience of the Corporation’s history and culture and the importance of continuity and risk the loss of key directors. The Board has therefore elected not to adopt term limits or mandatory retirement policies, but rather relies on


the collective experience and judgement of its members to determine when changes in the Board are appropriate. Shareholder feedback and voting results are also considered by the Board in this regard.

Majority Voting Policy

On May 13, 2013, the Board adopted a majority voting policy. Under this policy, in an uncontested election of directors, any nominee proposed for election as a director who receives a greater number of "withheld" votes than "for" votes is expected, promptly following the date of the meeting at which the election occurred, to submit his resignation to the Chairman of the Board for consideration, with the resignation to take effect upon acceptance by the Board. The Board will act within 90 days following the date of the meeting at which the election occurred.

In considering whether or not to accept a resignation, the Board will review the director's suitability to continue to serve as a director after reviewing, among other things, the voting results for the nominee, the length of service and qualifications of the nominee, such nominee's contributions to the Corporation, and whether the director's resignation from the Board would be in the best interests of the Corporation, and the Board will consider such recommendation. The Board will also consider a range of possible alternatives concerning the director's tendered resignation, including acceptance of the resignation, rejection of the resignation, or rejection of the resignation coupled with a commitment to seek to address and cure the underlying reasons reasonably believed by the Board to have substantially resulted in the "withheld" votes.

A director who tenders his resignation will not participate in any meetings to consider whether the resignation will be accepted.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

National Instrument 52-110 - Audit Committees ("NI 52-110") requires the Corporation to disclose annually certain information concerning the constitution of its Audit Committee and its relationship with its independent auditor, as set forth below.

Audit Committee Charter

The Audit Committee has adopted a written charter setting out its purpose, which is to assist the Board fulfill its oversight responsibilities relating to accounting and financial reporting process and internal controls. The Audit Committee is responsible for, among other things, (i) assessing the integrity of internal controls and financial reporting procedures of the Corporation; (ii) reviewing certain public disclosure documents; and (iii) monitoring the performance and independence of the Corporation's external auditors. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is attached hereto as Schedule "A".

Tunney and Skutezky is "independent" as defined in NI 52-110 and each of the members is "financially literate". Mr. Mullens is not considered independent for purposes of NI 52-110 in light of his role as Executive Chairman of the Corporation. A general description of the education and experience of each Audit Committee member which is relevant to the performance of his responsibilities as an Audit Committee member is contained in their respective biographies set out under "Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon – Election of Directors" in this Circular.

Mr. Fisher was a director of Tantalex Lithium Resources Corporation (formerly, Tantalex Resources Corporation) ("Tantalex") from April 1, 2020, until November 20, 2020. Tantalex was subject to a cease trade order issued by the Ontario Securities Commission on August 19, 2020, relating to the failure to file its audited annual financial statements, the annual management's discussion and analysis and the certification of annual filings for the year ended February 29, 2020 (the "Tantalex 2020 Annual Financial Filings"). Tantalex filed the Tantalex 2020 Annual Financial Filings on November 6, 2020. The Ontario Securities Commission revoked its cease trade order issued against Tantalex and the common shares of Tantalex resumed trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") effective November 16, 2020.

Mr. Ross was the Chief Financial Officer of CoinAnalyst Corp. ("Coin") from December 2021 until October 2022.

Appointment and Remuneration of Auditors

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to approve the appointment of Horizon Assurance LLP as the independent auditor of the Corporation to hold office until the close of the next annual meeting of Shareholders and to authorize the


Board to fix their remuneration. Buckley Dodds was first appointed as auditors of the Corporation since March 14, 2025, replacing DWTN Toronto LLP, the Corporation's prior auditors.

The Corporation's determination to change the auditor was not a result of any "reportable event" as such term is defined in National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations. The resignation of Davidson and the appointment of Buckley Dodds was considered and, upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, approved by the Board. A copy of the reporting package in connection with a change in auditors, consisting of the Corporation's Notice of Change in Auditor and response letters from Davidson, as the former auditor, and Buckley Dodds, as the successor auditor, is attached hereto as Schedule "B".

To be effective, the resolution approving the appointment of Horizon Assurance LLP as auditor of the Corporation to hold office until the close of the next annual meeting of Shareholders and to authorize the Board to fix their remuneration requires the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the votes cast by Shareholders present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting.

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the re-appointment of Horizon Assurance LLP. Otherwise indicated, the persons designated as proxyholders in the accompanying Proxy intend to vote FOR the appointment of Buckley Dodds as auditors of the Corporation until the next annual meeting of Shareholders and to authorize the Board to fix their remuneration.

Approval of Equity-Based Incentive Plan

The EIP was initially approved by Shareholders at the annual and special meeting on June 25, 2018. On November 24, 2021, the TSXV updated its Policy 4.4 – Security Based Compensation (the "Exchange Policy"). The Board determined it to be in the best interests of the Corporation to proceed with the approval of an updated EIP in order to comply with the Exchange Policy. The updated EIP was approved by Shareholders at the annual general and special meeting of Shareholders held on June 30, 2022 (the "2022 AGM") and most recently at the annual general and special meeting of Shareholders held on June 26, 2024. A copy of the EIP is attached the management information circular in connection with the 2022 AGM, which is available under the Corporation's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. The following is a summary of the terms of the EIP, which is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the EIP.

As of the Record Date, a total of 12,815,000 Options are issued and outstanding representing approximately 9.9% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. As at the date hereof, no Compensation Shares have been issued under the EIP.

The EIP is a "rolling" plan which sets the total number of Common Shares reserved and available for grant and issuance pursuant to the EIP at an amount not to exceed 10% of the Common Shares from time to time, or such other number as may be approved by the TSXV and the Shareholders from time to time. The TSXV rules relating to share-based compensation arrangements provide that, where a company has a rolling stock option plan in place, it must seek shareholder approval for such plan annually. Accordingly, at the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass an ordinary resolution ratifying and approving the Equity-Based Incentive Plan for the ensuing year.

To be effective, the resolution approving the EIP requires the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the votes cast by Shareholders present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting.

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the approval of the EIP. Otherwise indicated, the persons designated as proxyholders in the accompanying Proxy intend to vote FOR the approval of the EIP.

Summary of the key terms of the Equity-Based Incentive Plan

The following is a summary of the principal terms of the EIP:

  1. The EIP provides that the Board may from time to time, in its discretion, among other things, grant Options and/or Common Shares ("Compensation Shares") to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Corporation, or any subsidiary of the Corporation ("Participants"). The number of Options to be granted to a Participant shall be at the discretion of the Board, having regard for a Participant's present and potential contribution to the success of the Corporation.

  2. The Board, based upon recommendations of the CGCC, determines the exercise price for Options or the price


per Compensation Share and the number of Options or Compensation Shares that may be allotted to each Participant and all other terms and conditions of the Options, subject to the Exchange Policy.

  1. The maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance, in the aggregate, pursuant to the EIP is 10% of the aggregate number of Common Shares issued and outstanding from time to time, which represents 13,772,621 Common Shares as of the Record Date. In the event an Option is exercised, expires unexercised, or is terminated by reason of dismissal of the optionee for cause or is otherwise lawfully cancelled prior to exercise of the Option, the optioned shares that were issuable thereunder will be returned to the Option Plan and will be eligible for re-issue.

  2. The number of Options or Compensation Shares which may be issued to any one person in any 12-month period may not exceed 5% of the outstanding Common Shares.

  3. The number of Options or Compensation Shares which may be issued to any Consultant (as defined in the EIP) in any 12-month period may not exceed 2% of the outstanding Common Shares.

  4. The number of Options or Compensation Shares which may be issued to all persons conducting Investor Relations Activities (as defined in the EIP) in any 12-month period may not exceed 2% of the outstanding Common Shares.

  5. The exercise price for Options shall be determined by the Board in its discretion at the time the Options are granted, but in any case shall be no less than the Discounted Market Price (as defined in the TSXV policies).

  6. The period during which Options may be exercised shall be determined by the Board in its discretion at the time the Options are granted, but in any case shall be no more than five years from the date of grant.

  7. The vesting of Options and Compensation Shares shall be at the discretion of the Board, but in no event may Compensation Shares vest before the date that is one year following the date of grant.

  8. Options may not be exercised by a holder that has ceased to be a Participant except as follows:

a. Unless otherwise approved by the Board, and subject to TSXV policies, Options granted to any Participant must expire within 90 days after the date the Participant ceases to be employed by or provide services to the Corporation;

b. Options held by a Participant that has been terminated for cause, whether or not vested at the date of dismissal, will immediately terminate without right to exercise same; and

c. In the case of death of a Participant, any vested Option held at the date of death will become exercisable by the Participant's lawful representative, heirs or executors until the earlier of up to one year after the date of death of such Participant and the original date of expiry of such Option.

  1. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the EIP), all options shall be deemed to have immediately vested.

  2. Options are non-assignable and non-transferrable.

  3. The Board may, in its sole discretion, suspend or terminate the EIP at any time, or amend or revise the terms of the EIP or of any securities granted under the EIP and any grant agreement relating thereto, subject to any required regulatory and stock exchange approval, provided that such suspension, termination, amendment, or revision will not adversely alter or impair any Award previously granted except as permitted by the terms of the LTIP or as required by applicable laws.

Approval of Share Consolidation

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, a special resolution, in the form set out below (the "Consolidation Resolution"), subject to such amendments, variations or additions as may be approved at the Meeting, approving an amendment to the articles of the Corporation to provide that the authorized capital of the Corporation be altered by consolidating all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares


on the basis of one post-consolidation Common Share for every five outstanding pre-consolidation Common Shares, or such other lower consolidation ratio as the Board may determine advisable, in its sole discretion (the “Consolidation”). No fractional post-consolidation Common Shares will be issued if, as a result of the Consolidation, a registered Shareholder would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share. Instead, any fractional Common Shares resulting from the Consolidation will be rounded down to the nearest whole share and will be deemed to have been tendered by its registered owner to the Corporation for cancellation for no consideration.

The Board’s primary objective in seeking authority to effect the Consolidation is to provide the Corporation with a mechanism to increase: (i) the per-share trading price of the Common Shares; (ii) the trading liquidity of the Common Shares; and (iii) the ability of the Corporation to raise additional capital through equity and debt financings. In determining whether to seek approval to effect the Consolidation, the Board also considered a number of other market and business factors deemed relevant by the Board, including, but not limited to general stock market and economic conditions as well as the risks associated with the Consolidation discussed below.

Assuming the Consolidation is approved by the requisite majority at the Meeting, and assuming that the Board determines to proceed with the Consolidation, the Consolidation will be subject to approval of the TSXV. If the TSXV does not approve the Consolidation, the Corporation will not proceed with the Consolidation.

The Corporation does not expect the Consolidation itself to have any economic effect on Shareholders or holder of securities convertible into or exercisable to acquire Common Shares, except to the extent the Consolidation will result in fractional Common Shares. Voting rights and other rights of the holders of Common Shares prior to the implementation of the Consolidation will not be materially affected by the Consolidation, other than as a result of the creation and disposition of fractional Common Shares as described above. The exercise or conversion price and the number of Common Shares issuable under any outstanding convertible securities of the Corporation, including outstanding Options, will be adjusted in accordance with their respective terms on the same basis as the Consolidation.

To be effective, the Consolidation Resolution requires the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds (66⅔%) of the votes cast by Shareholders present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting. If the Consolidation Resolution is approved by Shareholders, the Board will have the authority, in its sole discretion, to implement or revoke the Consolidation Resolution and otherwise implement or abandon the Consolidation. Under the OBCA, Shareholders do not have any dissent and appraisal rights with respect to the proposed Consolidation. If the Corporation determines to implement the Consolidation, the Corporation will not independently make such rights available to Shareholders.

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the approval of the Consolidation Resolution. Otherwise indicated, the persons designated as proxyholders in the accompanying Proxy intend to vote FOR the Consolidation Resolution.

The text of the Consolidation Resolution to be submitted to Shareholders at the Meeting is set forth below:

“BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

  1. The Corporation is hereby authorized to file articles of amendment pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “OBCA”) to provide that (i) the authorized capital of the Corporation is altered by consolidating all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Corporation (the “Common Shares”) on the basis of one post-consolidation Common Share for every five outstanding pre-consolidation Common Shares, or such other lower consolidation ratio as the board of directors may determine advisable, in its sole discretion (the “Consolidation”); and (ii) any fractional Common Shares resulting from the Consolidation will be rounded down to the nearest whole share and will be deemed to have been tendered by its registered owner to the Corporation for cancellation for no consideration;

  2. Notwithstanding that this resolution has been duly passed by the shareholders of the Corporation, the directors of the Corporation are hereby authorized and empowered, if they decide not to proceed with the aforementioned resolution, to revoke this resolution at any time prior to giving effect thereto, without further notice to, or approval of, the shareholders of the Corporation; and

  3. any one or more of the directors or officers of the Corporation is hereby authorized and directed, acting for, in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation, to execute or cause to be executed, under the seal of the Corporation or otherwise, and to deliver or cause to be delivered, such other documents and instruments, and to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may in the opinion of such director or officer of the


Corporation to be necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of the foregoing resolutions, the execution of any such document or the doing of any such other act or thing by any director or officer of the Corporation being conclusive evidence of such determination.”

Effect on Share Certificates

If the Consolidation is approved by Shareholders and subsequently implemented, those Registered Shareholders who will hold at least one post-Consolidation Common Share will be required to exchange their share certificates representing pre-Consolidation Common Shares for share certificates representing post-Consolidation Common Shares following the Consolidation or, alternatively, a Direct Registration System (“DRS”) Advice representing the number of post-Consolidation Common Shares they hold following the Consolidation. If the Board elects to effect the Consolidation, at its sole discretion, the Corporation shall issue a press release announcing the terms, the final consolidation ratio and the expected effective date of the Consolidation. If the Consolidation is implemented, the Corporation (or its transfer agent) will mail to each Registered Shareholder a letter of transmittal (“Letter of Transmittal”) in connection with the Consolidation.

Following an announcement of the details of the Consolidation (if any), in order to obtain a certificate(s) or DRS Advice(s) representing the post-Consolidation Common Shares, each Registered Shareholder must complete and sign a Letter of Transmittal and deliver the same to Odyssey, together with their certificate(s) representing their pre-Consolidation Common Shares in accordance with the instructions set out in the Letter of Transmittal. Odyssey will send to each Registered Shareholder who follows the instructions provided in the Letter of Transmittal a new certificate or DRS Advice representing the number of post-Consolidation Common Shares to which the Registered Shareholder is entitled. Until surrendered to Odyssey, each certificate representing pre-Consolidation Common Shares will be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of post-Consolidation Common Shares to which the Registered Shareholder is entitled as a result of the Consolidation. No delivery of a new certificate or DRS Advice to a Registered Shareholder will be made until the Shareholder surrenders its certificates representing the pre-Consolidation Common Shares along with the Letter of Transmittal to Odyssey in the manner detailed herein.

Only Registered Shareholders or the persons they appoint as their proxies are required to complete, sign and submit the appropriate Letter of Transmittal as described above. Beneficial Shareholders are not required to submit a Letter of Transmittal. The Intermediary or clearing agency, through whom the Beneficial Shareholder holds their pre-Consolidation Common Shares will take the appropriate steps to ensure the holder’s accounts are adjusted to reflect the Consolidation, as applicable. Beneficial Shareholders who hold their Common Shares through Intermediaries and who have questions regarding how the Consolidation will be processed should contact their Intermediaries with respect to the Consolidation.

Risks Associated with the Consolidation

While the Board believes that the Consolidation is in the best interest of the Corporation, there are certain risks associated with the proposed Consolidation. Shareholders should consult their own legal and tax advisors regarding the consequences of the Consolidation to them, including the effects of any Canadian or U.S. federal, provincial, state, local, foreign and/or other tax laws.

Reducing the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares through the Consolidation is intended, absent other factors, to increase the market price of the Common Shares. However, the market price of the Common Shares after the Consolidation will also be affected by the Corporation’s financial and operational results, its financial position, including its liquidity and capital resources, the development of its operations, industry conditions, the market’s perception of the Corporation’s business and other factors, which are unrelated to the number of Common Shares outstanding. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the market price of the Common Shares will increase following the implementation of the Consolidation or that the market price of the Common Shares will not decrease in the future.

The market price of the Common Shares immediately following the implementation of the Consolidation is expected to be approximately equal to the market price of the Common Shares prior to the implementation of the Consolidation multiplied by the applicable consolidation ratio but there is no assurance that the anticipated market price immediately following the implementation of the Consolidation will be realized or, if realized, will be sustained. There is a risk that the total market capitalization of the Common Shares (the market price of the Common Shares multiplied by the number of Common Shares outstanding) after the implementation the Consolidation may be lower than the total market capitalization of the Common Shares prior to the implementation of the Consolidation.

Although the Corporation believes that establishing a higher market price for the Common Shares could also enhance the


marketability of the Common Shares by potentially broadening the pool of investors that may consider investing in the Corporation, including institutional and other investors whose internal investment policies prohibit or discourage them from purchasing shares trading below a certain minimum price and reduce volatility, there is no assurance that implementing the Consolidation will achieve either of these results. If the Consolidation is implemented and the market price of the Common Shares (adjusted to reflect the applicable consolidation ratio) declines, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of the Corporation's overall market capitalization may be greater than would have occurred if the Consolidation had not been implemented. Both the total market capitalization of the Corporation and the adjusted market price of the Common Shares following the Consolidation may be lower than they were before the Consolidation took effect. The reduced number of Common Shares that would be outstanding after the Consolidation is implemented could also adversely affect the liquidity of the Common Shares.

The Consolidation may result in some Shareholders owning "odd lots" on a post-Consolidation basis. Odd lot Common Shares may be more difficult to sell, or may attract greater transaction costs per Common Share to sell, and brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd lots may be higher than the costs of transactions in "round lots."

can be no assurance that the total market capitalization of the Corporation (the aggregate value of all Common Shares at the market price then in effect) immediately after 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 equal or exceed the direct arithmetical result of the Consolidation. The Consolidation may result in some shareholders owning "odd lots" of less than 1000 Common Shares on a post- Consolidation basis which may be more difficult to sell, or require greater transaction costs per share to sell.
