GRIZZLY DISCOVERIES INC.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

for the Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders
to be held on May 5, 2026

Solicitation of Proxies

This Information Circular dated March 17, 2026 is furnished in connection with the solicitation by Management of Grizzly Discoveries Inc. (the “Company”) of proxies from holders of common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”) for use at the annual general and special meeting (the “Meeting”) of the shareholders of the Company (“Shareholders”) to be held on May 5, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. (Edmonton time) at Suite 100, 11450 160 Street NW, Edmonton, Alberta and at any adjournment thereof for the purposes set out in the accompanying notice of the Meeting (the “Notice of Meeting”).

Any solicitation will be primarily by mail but may also be by telephone, email, facsimile or in person by directors and officers of the Company (who will not be additionally compensated therefor). The cost of any solicitation will be borne by the Company. The Company is not using the notice-and-access provisions available under applicable Canadian securities laws to send proxy-related materials to shareholders. The Company is not sending proxy-related materials directly to non-objecting beneficial owners and is not paying for intermediaries to deliver to the proxy-related materials to objecting beneficial holders and, as such, objecting beneficial owners will not receive proxy-related materials unless their intermediary assumes the costs of delivery.

Appointment and Revocation of Proxies

The persons named in the accompanying form of proxy are directors and/or officers of the Company. Shareholders desiring to appoint some other person (who is not required to be a Shareholder of the Company) to represent him or her at the Meeting may do so either by inserting such person’s name in the blank space provided in the Proxy and deleting the names printed thereon or by completing another legal proxy. Such Shareholder should notify the nominee of his appointment, obtain his consent to act as proxy and instruct him on how the Shareholder’s shares are to be voted.

A proxy will not be valid for the Meeting or any adjournment thereof unless it is signed by the Shareholder or by his attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, it must be executed under corporate seal or by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the corporation and delivered to the Company c/o Computershare Trust Company of Canada, the Transfer Agent and Registrar of the Company, at Proxy Department, 320 Bay Street, 14th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 4A6 no later than 1:00 p.m. MDT on the day that is two (2) business days prior to the meeting date or adjournment thereof.

A Shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it, in any manner permitted by law, including by instrument in writing, executed by the Shareholder or by his attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, executed by a duly authorized officer or attorney of such corporation and deposited with the Company c/o Computershare Trust Company of Canada, at the address specified above at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof or with the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Advice to Beneficial Holders of Common Shares

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many shareholders of the Company, as a substantial number of shareholders do not hold shares in their own name. Shareholders who do not hold shares in their own name (referred to in this Information Circular as “Beneficial Shareholders”) should note that only proxies deposited by shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of Common Shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those 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 names of the Shareholder’s broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the majority of such shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for The Canadian Depository for


Securities, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Shares held by brokers or their agents or nominees can only be voted upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, brokers and their agents and nominees are prohibited from voting shares for the broker's clients. Therefore, Beneficial Shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their Common Shares are communicated to the appropriate intermediary/broker on a timely basis.

Applicable regulatory policies require intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholders' meetings. Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the Meeting. The voting instruction form supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker (or the agent of the broker) is usually similar to the form of proxy provided to registered shareholders by the Company. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered shareholder (the broker or agent of the broker) on how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge"). Broadridge typically prepares a machine-readable voting instruction form which is mailed to Beneficial Shareholders with a request that the Beneficial Shareholders return the forms to Broadridge or otherwise communicate voting instructions to Broadridge (ie. by way of the Internet or telephone). Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of shares to be represented at the Meeting. A voting instruction form is not a legal proxy and a Beneficial Shareholder receiving a Broadridge voting instruction form cannot use that form to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting. The voting instruction form must be returned to Broadridge or voting instructions communicated to Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted.

Although a Beneficial Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for purposes of voting Common Shares registered in the name of his broker (or agent of the broker), a Beneficial Shareholder may attend at the Meeting as proxyholder for the registered shareholder and may vote the Common Shares in that capacity. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to attend the Meeting and indirectly vote their Common Shares as proxyholder for the registered shareholder should contact their broker or other intermediary, well in advance of the Meeting.

Voting of Proxies

All Common Shares represented at the Meeting by a properly executed Proxy will be voted on any ballot that may be called for and, where a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon has been specified in the Proxy, the Common Shares represented by the Proxy will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with such specification. In the absence of any such specification or instruction, the Management designees on the Form of Proxy, if named as proxies, will vote in favour of all of the matters set out in the Notice of Meeting.

The enclosed form of Proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and any other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. As of the date hereof, Management is not aware of any amendments to, variations of or other matters to be presented for action at the Meeting. If, however, amendments, variations or other matters properly come before the Meeting, the Management designees in the form of Proxy will vote thereon in accordance with their judgment pursuant to the discretionary authority conferred by such Proxy with respect to such matters.

VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS

The record date for the purpose of determining holders of Common Shares is March 20, 2026 (the "Record Date"). Shareholders of record on that date will be entitled to receive notice of and attend the Meeting and vote thereat on the basis of one vote for each Common Share held. Shareholders as of the Record Date may vote in person or by proxy, except to the extent that a registered shareholder has transferred the ownership of any shares subsequent to March 20, 2026 and the transferee of those shares produces properly endorsed share certificates, or otherwise establishes that he or she owns the Common Shares and demands, not later than 10 days before the Meeting, that their name be included on the shareholder list before the Meeting, in which case, the transferee shall be entitled to vote their shares at the Meeting. The transfer books will not be closed.


The Company has an authorized capital consisting of an unlimited number of Common Shares and an unlimited number of Preferred Shares. There are presently 221,925,956 Common Shares issued and outstanding as fully paid and non-assessable and no Preferred Shares.

As at the date hereof, to the knowledge of the directors and senior officers of the Company, the following sets out the only persons, firms or corporations owning of record or beneficially, directly or indirectly, or exercising control or direction over 10% or more of the issued and outstanding Common Shares:

Name and Municipality Type of Ownership Number of Common Shares Percentage of Shares Owned
CDS & Co.
Toronto, Ontario Registered 150,078,634 67.63%

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

During the financial year ended July 31, 2025, the Company had two executive officers, one of whom is also a Director of the Company.

The Company paid cash compensation of $6,000 per month to Grizzly Gold Inc., a corporation controlled by Mr. Testo, for management services provided by Mr. Testo as President and Chief Executive Officer, between August 2024 and November 2024. No compensation was paid to Grizzly Gold Inc. for Mr. Testo's services between December 2024 and July 2025.

The Company paid 1494710 Alberta Ltd., a corporation controlled by Jeremy Strautman, the amount of $6,000 per month for management services provided by Mr. Strautman as Chief Financial Officer.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Company does not have a formal compensation program. The Board of Directors (the "Board") relies on the experience of its members to ensure that total compensation paid to the Company's Management is fair and reasonable.

The Board meets to discuss and determine management compensation as required, without reference to formal objectives, criteria, or analysis. The general objectives of the Company's compensation decisions are:

  • to encourage Management to achieve a high level of performance and results with a view to increasing long-term shareholder value;
  • to align Management's interests with the long-term interest of shareholders;
  • to provide compensation commensurate with peer companies in order to attract and retain highly qualified executives; and
  • to ensure that total compensation paid takes into account the Company's overall financial position.

The compensation to Executive Officers is comprised of salaries or management fees paid to Companies controlled by Executive Officers and incentive stock options in accordance with the Company's stock option plan. In establishing levels of cash compensation and the granting of stock options, the Executive Officer's performance, level of expertise, responsibilities, time spent, and comparable levels of remuneration paid to executive officers of peer companies are considered.

The Company's current stock option plan (the "Stock Option Plan") was most recently approved by the shareholders at the last annual general meeting held on March 25, 2025. The Stock Option Plan is designed to encourage share ownership on the part of management, directors, employees, and consultants, which the Board believes aligns the interests of the Company's personnel with shareholders by linking compensation to the longer term performance of the Company's shares. The granting of incentive stock options is a significant component of executive compensation as it allows the Company to reward each Executive Officer's efforts to increase shareholder value without requiring the use of the Company's cash reserves.


Stock options are generally granted at the time a Board member is appointed, or an Executive Officer is hired or engaged, and periodically thereafter. Previous grants of options are taken into account by the Board when it considers the granting of new stock options. The Board does not use a formal quantitative valuation technique in determining the granting of options; rather, current and forward-looking market conditions are assessed qualitatively in decisions to grant stock options.

Summary Compensation Table

The following table sets forth compensation paid to by the Company for services rendered by the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") and together with the CEO, the "Named Executive Officers" in each of the three most recently completed financial years.

The Company is a “venture issuer” as defined in NI 52-110 and is relying on the exemption contained in section 6.1 of NI 52-110, which exempts it from the requirements of Part 3 (Composition of Audit Committee) and Part 5 (Reporting Obligations) of NI 52-110.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices requires the Company to disclose in its management information circular certain information relating to the Company’s corporate governance practices. The following is the disclosure required in Form 58-101F2 applicable to Venture Issuers.

1. Board of Directors

The Board of Directors of the Company (“Board”) is presently comprised of four Directors, three of whom are independent pursuant to the definition of independence used by the Canadian Securities Administrators, which is set out in section 1.4 of NI 52-110. A Director is independent if he or she has no direct or indirect material relationship to the Company. A “material relationship” is a relationship which could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgment.


Certain types of relationships are by their very nature considered to be material relationships and are specified in section 1.4 of NI 52-110.

Dr. Pillersdorf, Ms. Price, and Mr. Greig are the independent directors. Mr Testo is not considered to be independent as he is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

The Board facilitates the exercise of independent supervision over management by ensuring that non-management Directors are involved in supervision of management. When warranted, the independent Directors meet independently of management at the Board and committee level. Pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) ("ABCA"), Directors must declare their interests in a material transaction or proposed material transaction involving the Company and are precluded from voting on the resolutions to approve such transaction. Further, conflicted Directors may be excluded from any meeting held to consider such a transaction.

  1. Directorships:

Certain of the Directors are also directors of other reporting issuers as follows:

Director Other reporting issuers
James Greig Prospect Park Capital Corp
Metalero Mining Corp.
Birchtree Investments Ltd.
Joanne Price Storm Exploration Inc. (formerly Lithoquest Resources Inc.)
Lannister Mining Corp
  1. Orientation and Continuing Education

The Board has not implemented a formal orientation program as changes to Board membership are infrequent.

The Board does not provide formal continuing education for Directors. Directors maintain the skill and knowledge necessary to meet their obligations as Directors through a combination of their existing education, experience as businesspersons and managers, service as directors of other issuers and advice from the Company's legal counsel, auditors and other advisors. Directors attend conferences, seminars and other ongoing education opportunities in order to maintain or enhance their skills and abilities as directors of a public company, as well as ensure that their knowledge and understanding of the Company's business remains current.

  1. Ethical Business Conduct

The Board has not adopted a written code of ethical business conduct for its directors, officers, employees and consultants. The Board encourages and promotes a culture of ethical business conduct through communication and supervision in a manner that is consistent with the highest level of integrity.

  1. Nomination of Directors

The Company does not have a formal process or committee for proposing new nominees to the Board as changes to the Board are infrequent. If the Board determines that additional skills and competencies would be helpful to the Board, it will at that time determine whether it is appropriate to increase the size of the Board by adding an additional Director or by retaining the services of a consultant. If it is determined that an additional Director would be preferable, the process to locate a suitable candidate will likely initially be informal, where individual members of the Board or management will make inquiries and have discussions

11


with potential candidates. If one or more candidates appear suitable, they will be considered by the Board as a whole.

  1. Compensation

The Board determines the compensation for the President and CEO. The President and CEO then sets the compensation for all other senior officers. Overall compensation is reviewed by the Board annually.

Non-management Directors do not presently receive cash compensation but are instead compensated through the grant of stock options. Directors may receive consulting fees from time to time for services provided to the Company outside of their duties as a Director of the Company.

  1. Other Board Committees

There are currently no standing committees of the Board other than the Audit Committee.

  1. Assessments

There is no formal committee with responsibility for assessing the effectiveness of the Board as a whole, the committees of the Board or the contribution of individual directors. The Board considers contributions of individual Directors when determining from time to time whether to grant incentive stock options to Directors.

Approval of the ordinary resolution requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in respect thereof by holders of Common Shares represented at the Meeting. The Management designees in the enclosed Form of Proxy intend to vote FOR the appointment of DeVisser Gray LLP, as Auditor of the Company, unless instructed otherwise.

CONFIRMATION OF THE STOCK OPTION PLAN

At the Corporation’s last annual general meeting, the Shareholders re-confirmed the Stock Option Plan, which is a 10% “rolling” stock option plan. Pursuant to the policies of the Exchange, a rolling stock option plan must be re-confirmed on a yearly basis by the Shareholders of the Company. The number of Common Shares in respect of which Options have been exercised, or in respect of which Options have expired, been cancelled or otherwise terminated for any reason without having been exercised, shall be available for subsequent grants under the Stock Option Plan.

The Board believes it is in the Company’s best interest to re-confirm the Stock Option Plan. A copy of the Stock Option Plan is attached as Schedule “B” to this Information Circular, with the Stock Option Plan summarized below. In this section, capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Stock Option Plan.

Description of the Stock Option Plan

Purpose

The purpose of the Stock Option Plan is to provide the Company with a share-related mechanism to attract, retain and motivate qualified Executive, Employee and Consultant, to incent such individuals, who are, in the opinion of the Board, responsible for the Company’s future growth and success, to contribute toward the long term goals of the Company, and to encourage such individuals to acquire Common Shares of the Company as long term investments.

Stock Option Grants

Under the Stock Option Plan, a maximum of 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company at the time of the stock option grant is reserved for grants of Options. The exercise period of any Option is up to 10 years from the date of grant.

Options may be granted from time to time in the discretion of the Board or a Committee delegated to administer the Plan, to Executives, Employees, Consultants and Eligible Charitable Organizations. The maximum number of Shares reserved for issuance under Options granted to Insiders may not exceed 10% of the Outstanding Issue. The maximum number of Options granted to Insiders, within any 12-month period, may not exceed 10% of the Outstanding Issue. The maximum number of Shares reserved for issuance to any one Option Holder, within any 12-month period, may not exceed 5% of the Outstanding Issue.

In addition to the foregoing, so long as such limitations are required by the Exchange, the maximum number of Options granted to a Consultant, together with the Company’s other share based compensation arrangements, within a 12 month period shall not exceed 2% of the outstanding Shares and the maximum number of Options granted within any 12 month period to Employees or Consultants engaged in investor relations activities shall not exceed 2%

14


of the outstanding Common Shares, with all such Options vesting in stages over 12 months with no more than 25% of the Options vesting in any three month period.

Black-Out Periods

Options may not be exercised during Black-Out unless the Company, through the committee appointed to administer the Stock Option Plan, if any, determines otherwise. A “Black-Out” means a restriction period imposed by the Company on all or any of its directors, officers, employees, insiders or persons in a special relationship whereby they are to refrain from trading in the Company’s securities until the restriction has been lifted by the Company.

Tax Withholding

Pursuant to changes to the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”) that came into effect on January 1, 2011, which clarified the requirement for Company’s to make source deductions in respect of stock option benefits, the Option Plan specifies that the Company shall (i) be entitled to make such additional tax withholdings from payments of employment income to Employees as shall, in the opinion of the Company, be required under the Tax Act, and remit such taxes to the Canada Revenue Agency on behalf of the Employees, in respect of income taxable to the Employees arising on the exercise of Options, or (ii) or an Option Holder, as a condition of exercise of an Option, to pay to or reimburse the Company for any taxes which are required in the opinion of the Company to be withheld and remitted by it in respect of the exercise of such Option under any applicable laws.

Ceasing to be a Director, Officer, Employee or Consultant

In the event that the Option Holder ceases to hold the position of Executive, Employee or Consultant for which the Option was originally granted, but comes to hold a different position as an Executive, Employee or Consultant prior to the expiry of the Option, the Board may, in its sole discretion, choose to permit the Option to stay in place for that Option Holder with such Option then to be treated as being held by that Option Holder in his or her new position and such will not be considered to be an amendment to the Option in question requiring the consent of the Option Holder.

When an Option Holder ceases to be an Executive other than by reason of death or Disability, the Expiry Date of the Option shall be, unless otherwise expressly provided for in the Option Certificate, the 90th day following the date the Option Holder ceases to hold such position or such “reasonable period” after the Option Holder ceases to hold such position as determined by the Board, unless the Option Holder ceases to hold such position as a result of: (a) ceasing to meet the qualifications under the ABCA; (b) a special resolution having been passed by the shareholders of the Company removing the Option Holder as a director of the Company; or (c) an order made by any Regulatory Authority having jurisdiction to so order, in which case the Options shall be immediately cancelled.

When an Option Holder ceases to hold the position as Employee or Consultant other than by reason of death or Disability, the Expiry Date of the Option shall be, unless otherwise expressly provided for in the Option Certificate, the 90th day following the date the Option Holder ceases to hold such position or such “reasonable period” after the Option Holder ceases to hold such position as determined by the Board (to a maximum of 12 months after the Option Holder ceases to hold the position), provided that in the case of an Option Holder that is engaged in investor relations activities, the Expiry Date of the Option shall be the 30th day after the date such Option Holder ceases to hold such position, unless, in either case, the Option Holder ceases to hold such position as a result of: (a) termination for cause; (b) resigning or terminating his or her position; or (c) an order made by any Regulatory Authority having jurisdiction to so order, in which case the Options shall be immediately cancelled.

An Option Holder can only exercise options to the extent that the Option Holder was entitled to exercise such options at the date on which he or she ceased to be a director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company.

Acceleration and Triggering Events

Under the Stock Option Plan, “Triggering Event” means:

(i) the proposed dissolution, liquidation or wind-up of the Company;

15


(ii) the proposed acquisition of 50% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company by any Person or by one or more Persons acting together;

(iii) a proposed material alteration of the capital structure of the Company which, in the opinion of the Committee, is of such a nature that it is not practical or feasible to make adjustments to the New Option Plan or to the Options granted thereunder to permit the New Option Plan and Options granted thereunder to stay in effect; and

(iv) a proposed merger, amalgamation, arrangement, business combination, reorganization or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

The Stock Option Plan provides the Committee may, upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, without the consent of the Option Holders in question, cause all or a portion of any of the Options granted under the Stock Option Plan to be exchanged for securities, including incentive stock options, of another corporation in such ratio and at such exercise price as the Committee deems appropriate; accelerate the vesting schedule of one or more Options (except in respect of Option held by investor relations service providers in which case prior written approval by the Exchange will be required); or, provided written notice is given to the Option Holders in question not less than 10 days prior to the consummation of a Triggering Event, cause all or a portion of any of the Options granted under the stock option plan to terminate.

If there is a material alteration in the capital structure of the Company and the Common Shares are consolidated, subdivided, converted, exchanged, reclassified or in any way substituted for, the Company will make such adjustments to the Stock Option Plan and to the Options then outstanding it determines to be appropriate and equitable under the circumstances, so that the proportionate interest of each option holder shall, to the extent practicable, be maintained as before the occurrence of such event; provided that any adjustment made other than in connection with a security consolidation or security split, to Options granted under the Stock Option Plan must be subject to the prior acceptance of the Exchange, including adjustments related to an amalgamation, merger, arrangement, reorganization, spin-off, dividend or recapitalization.

Transferability of Options

Except as otherwise provided in the Stock Option Plan, including circumstances of death and disability, Options are non-assignable and non-transferable.

Amendments to the New Option Plan and Outstanding Options

The Committee may, subject to any required Regulatory Approvals, amend any existing Option or the Option Plan or any the terms and conditions of any Option thereafter to be granted provided that, in the case of any existing Option, no such amendment or revision may, without the written consent of the Option Holder, materially decrease the rights or benefits accruing to an Option Holder or materially increase the obligations of an Option Holder. If any amendment reduces the Exercise Price of an Option (and for this purpose, a cancellation or termination of an Option granted to a option holder prior to its Expiry Date for the purpose of reissuing an Option to the same option holder with a lower exercise price shall be treated as an amendment to reduce the exercise price of such Option) or extends the term of an Option beyond the original Expiry Date (except where an Expiry Date would have fallen within a blackout period applicable to the option holder) and the option holder in respect of such Option is an insider of the Company at the time of such reduction, such insider may not exercise the Option at the reduced Exercise Price or during the extended period until such reduction or extension has received Disinterested Shareholder Approval (as defined in the Stock Option Plan).

The Option Plan continues to allow the Committee to amend the Option Plan and the Options granted thereunder in order to secure any necessary Regulatory Approvals without the consent of the Option Holders.

Adjustments and Termination

Subject to any necessary regulatory approvals, the Committee may terminate or suspend the Stock Option Plan. Otherwise, the Stock Option Plan shall terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date of the Stock Option Plan. No Option may be granted during any suspension, or after termination, of the Stock Option Plan. Suspension

16


or termination of the Stock Option Plan shall not, without the consent of the Option Holder, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Option previously granted.

Form of Resolution

Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, approve and pass the following ordinary resolutions:

“BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

(i) the Stock Option Plan in the form attached to the Information Circular of the Company dated March 17, 2026 as Schedule “B” be and is hereby ratified, confirmed and approved, subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange;

(ii) the Company is authorized to grant stock options pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions of the Stock Option Plan, entitling all of the Option Holders in aggregate to purchase up to such number of Common Shares of the Company as is equal to 10% of the number of Common Shares of the Company issued and outstanding on the applicable grant date;

(iii) any officer or director of the Company be and is hereby authorized and directed, for and on behalf of the Company, to execute and deliver or file such documents and instruments and to do all such other acts and things as are required or as such person, in such person’s sole discretion, may deem necessary to give full effect to or carry out the provisions of the above resolutions.”

Approval of the ordinary resolution requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in respect thereof by holders of Common Shares represented at the Meeting. Management of the Company recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the foregoing resolutions, and the Management designees in the enclosed Form of Proxy, unless instructed otherwise, intend to vote in favour of the foregoing resolution.

OTHER BUSINESS

Management is not aware of any other business to come before the Meeting other than the matters referred to in the Notice of Meeting. However, if any other matter properly comes before the Meeting, the accompanying Form of Proxy confers discretionary authority to vote with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters that may properly come before the Meeting.

APPROVAL OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The contents of this Information Circular have been approved by, and the delivery of it to each Shareholder entitled thereto and the appropriate regulatory agencies, has been approved by the Board.

DATED at Edmonton, Alberta, on the 17th day of March, 2026.
