The Company intends to hold the Meeting in person.

In view of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company encourages shareholders to consider voting their shares via proxy rather than attending the Meeting in person, particularly if they are experiencing any of the described COVID-19 symptoms of fever, cough or difficulty breathing. Access to the Meeting will, subject to the Articles of the Company, be limited to essential personnel and registered shareholders and proxyholders entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting. The Company may take additional precautionary measures in relation to the Meeting in response to further developments with the COVID-19 outbreak. In the event it is not possible or advisable to hold the Meeting in person or a decision is made to change the date, time or location of the Meeting, the Company will announce, by press release, alternative arrangements for the Meeting as promptly as practicable. The press release will be available under the Company's profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com). If you are planning to attend the Meeting, please check our press releases on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) before attending the Meeting.

INFORMATION CIRCULAR

(all information as at January 20, 2021, unless otherwise stated)

Hansco Capital Corp. ("Hansco" or the "Company") is providing this Information Circular and a form of proxy in connection with management's solicitation of proxies for use at the annual general and special meeting (the "Meeting") of Hansco to be held on Monday, February 22, 2021, and at any adjournments. Hansco will conduct its solicitation by mail and officers and employees of Hansco may, without receiving special compensation, also telephone or make other personal contact. Hansco will pay the cost of solicitation.

PROXY RELATED INFORMATION

Appointment of Proxyholder

The purpose of a proxy is to designate persons who will vote the proxy on a shareholder's behalf in accordance with the instructions given by the shareholder in the proxy. The persons whose names are printed in the enclosed form of proxy are officers or directors of Hansco (the "Management Proxyholders").

A shareholder has the right to appoint a person other than a Management Proxyholder to represent the shareholder at the Meeting by striking out the names of the Management Proxyholders and by inserting the desired person's name in the blank space provided or by executing a proxy in a form similar to the enclosed form. A proxyholder need not be a shareholder.

Voting by Proxy

Only registered shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Shares represented by a properly executed proxy will be voted or be withheld from voting on each matter referred to in the Notice of Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder on any ballot that may be called for and if the shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted accordingly.

If a shareholder does not specify a choice and the shareholder has appointed one of the Management Proxyholders as proxyholder, the Management Proxyholder will vote in favour of the matters specified in the Notice of Meeting and in favour of all other matters proposed by management at the Meeting.

The enclosed form of proxy also gives discretionary authority to the person named therein as proxyholder with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of the Meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the date of this Information Circular, management of Hansco knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting.

Completion and Return of Proxy

Completed forms of proxy must be deposited at the office of Hansco's registrar and transfer agent,

Computershare Investor Services Inc., 3rd floor, 510 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 3B9, not later than forty-eight (48) hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, prior to the time of the Meeting, unless the chairman of the Meeting elects to exercise his discretion to accept proxies deposited subsequently.

Non-Registered Holders

Only shareholders whose names appear on the records of Hansco as the registered holders of shares or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most shareholders of Hansco are "non-registered" shareholders because the shares they own are not registered in their names but instead registered in the name of a nominee such as a brokerage firm through which they purchased the shares; bank, trust company, trustee or administrator of self-administered RRSP's, RRIF's, RESP's and similar plans; or clearing agency such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited (a "Nominee"). If you purchased your shares through a broker, you are likely an unregistered holder.

In accordance with securities regulatory policy, Hansco has distributed copies of the Meeting materials, being the Notice of Meeting, this Information Circular and the Proxy, to the Nominees for distribution to nonregistered holders.

Nominees are required to forward the Meeting materials to non-registered holders to seek their voting instructions in advance of the Meeting. Shares held by Nominees can only be voted in accordance with the instructions of the non-registered holder. The Nominees often have their own form of proxy, mailing procedures and provide their own return instructions. If you wish to vote by proxy, you should carefully follow the instructions from the Nominee in order that your Shares are voted at the Meeting.

If you, as a non-registered holder, wish to vote at the Meeting in person, you should appoint yourself as proxyholder by writing your name in the space provided on the request for voting instructions or proxy provided by the Nominee and return the form to the Nominee in the envelope provided. Do not complete the voting section of the form as your vote will be taken at the Meeting.

In addition, Canadian securities legislation now permits Hansco to forward meeting materials directly to "non-objecting beneficial owners". If Hansco or its agent has sent these materials directly to you (instead of through a Nominee), your name, address and information about your holdings of securities have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Nominee holding on your behalf. By choosing to send these materials to you directly, Hansco (and not the Nominee holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials to you and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions.

Revocability of Proxy

Any registered shareholder who has returned a proxy may revoke it at any time before it has been exercised. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a registered shareholder, his attorney authorized in writing or, if the registered shareholder is a corporation, a corporation under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized, may revoke a proxy by instrument in writing, including a proxy bearing a later date. The instrument revoking the proxy must be deposited at the registered office of Hansco, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or with the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting. Only registered shareholders have the right to revoke a proxy. Non-Registered Holders who wish to change their vote must, at least seven days before the Meeting, arrange for their Nominees to revoke the proxy on their behalf.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

The authorized capital of Hansco consists of an unlimited number of common shares without par value. As at the date hereof, there are issued and outstanding 6,000,000 fully paid and non-assessable common shares without par value, each share carrying the right to one vote. The Company has no other classes of voting securities.

Persons who are registered shareholders at the close of business on January 13, 2021, will be entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting and will be entitled to one vote for each share held.

To the knowledge of the directors and senior officers of Hansco, no person beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all outstanding shares of Hansco that have the right to vote in all circumstances, except as follows:

Name Number of Shares (1) Percentage of Outstanding Shares
Bob Hans 2,650,000 44.17% (2)

(1) Based on information provided by such persons to the Company or disclosed in their insider filings provided at www.sedi.ca. (2) Mr. Hans holds approximately 42.03% of the Company's shares on a fully diluted basis.

Stock Option Plans and Other Incentive Plans

The Company has adopted a stock option plan (the "Plan") which provides eligible directors, officers, employees and consultants with the opportunity to acquire an ownership interest in the Company and is the basis for the Company's long-term incentive scheme. The Plan has not been previously approved by the shareholders of the Company. The key features of the Plan are as follows:

  • The maximum number of common shares issuable under the Plan may not exceed in aggregate such number of common shares as is equal to 10% of the common shares issued and outstanding at the time of such grant; provided that, if the Company is a capital pool company ("CPC"), such number cannot exceed 10% of the aggregate number of common shares issued and outstanding upon completion of the Company's initial public offering.
  • The options have a maximum term of ten years from the date of issue.
  • Options vest as the board of directors of the Company may determine upon the award of the options.
  • The exercise price of options granted under the Plan shall be determined by the board of directors but shall not be lower than the last closing price for common shares of the Company as quoted on

the TSX Venture Exchange, less any discount permitted by the TSX Venture Exchange, on the date of grant of the option, and provided that, if the Company is a CPC, the exercise price shall not be lower than $0.10.

• The expiry date of an option shall be the earlier of the date fixed by the Company's board of directors on the award date, and: (a) in the event of the death or disability of the option holder while he or she is a director, officer, employee or consultant, 12 months from the date of death or disability of the option holder; (b) in the event that the option holder ceases to be a director, employee or consultant other than by reason of death or disability, 90 days following the date the option holder ceases to be a director, employee or consultant (provided that if the Company is a CPC and the optionee does not carry on as a director, officer, consultant or employee of the Company upon completion of the Company's Qualifying Transaction, the options shall be exercisable until the later of 12 months after the completion of such Qualifying Transaction and the 90th day after the Optionee ceases to be a director, officer, consultant or employee for any reason other than death, disability or cause); (c) the 30th day after the optionee who is engaged in investor relations activities for the Company ceases to be employed to provide investor relations activities; and (d) the date on which the optionee ceases to be a director, officer, consultant or employee by reason or termination of the optionee as an employee or consultant of the Company for cause (which, in the case of a consultant, includes any breach of an agreement between the Company and the consultant).

The Plan may be terminated at any time by resolution of the board of directors, but any such termination will not affect or prejudice rights of participants holding options at that time. If the Plan is terminated, outstanding options will continue to be governed by the provisions of the Plan.

Employment, Consulting and Management Agreements

The Company is not party to any employment, consulting or management agreements with any director or Named Executive Officer.

Oversight and Description of Director and Name Executive Officer Compensation

The board of directors has the responsibility for determining compensation for the directors and senior management (including the Named Executive Officers). At present, no compensation was paid to any director or Named Executive Officer during the financial year ended September 30, 2020 or has been paid during the current financial year.

INTEREST OF INFORMED PERSONS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

Other than as set forth in this Information Circular and other than transactions carried out in the ordinary course of business of Hansco, no informed person or proposed director of Hansco and no associate or affiliate of the foregoing persons has or has had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction since the commencement of Hansco's most recently completed financial year or in any proposed transaction which in either such case has materially affected or would materially affect Hansco.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

Other than as described below or elsewhere in this Information Circular, there are no agreements or arrangements under which management functions of Hansco or any subsidiary of Hansco are, to any substantial degree, performed by a person other than the directors or executive officers of Hansco or a subsidiary of Hansco.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

On June 30, 2005, National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices ("NI 58- 101") and National Policy 58-201 – Corporate Governance Guidelines (the "Guidelines"), came into force. The Guidelines address matters such as the constitution of and the functions to be performed by the Company's board. NI 58-101 requires that the Company disclose its approach to corporate governance with reference to the Guidelines. The board of the Company is committed to ensuring that the Company has an effective corporate governance system, which adds value and assists the Company in achieving its objectives.

Board of Directors

Each of Bob Hans and Raymond Marks is an "independent" director, according to the definition set out in NI 52-110. Robert Quinn and Aris Morfopoulos are not independent, as they are executive officers of the Company.

The independent directors believe that their knowledge of the Company's business and their independence are sufficient to facilitate the functioning of the board independently of management. To facilitate open and candid discussion among the board's independent directors, the independent directors have the discretion to meet in private in the absence of the other directors whenever they believe it is appropriate to do so. To date, the independent directors have not held a meeting at which non-independent directors and members of management were not in attendance.

Other Directorships

The directors of the Company are presently directors of other reporting issuers, as follows:

Name Name of Reporting Issuer Exchange Position(s)
Bob Hans Hanstone Gold Corp. TSXV Director,Executive Chairman
Raymond Marks Hanstone Gold Corp. TSXV CEO, President,Director
Robert Quinn Hanstone Gold Corp. TSXV Director,Vice President
Aris Morfopoulos Constantine MetalResources Ltd. TSXV CFO, Secretary
New Oroperu Resources Inc. TSXV CFO, Secretary
HighGold Mining Inc. TSXV CFO, Secretary,Director
Carlin Gold Corporation TSXV CFO, Secretary,Director

Orientation and Continuing Education

Management will ensure that a new appointee to the board receives the appropriate written materials to fully apprise him or her of the duties and responsibilities of a director pursuant to applicable law and policy. Each new director brings a different skill set and professional background, and with this information, the board is able to determine what orientation to the nature and operations of the Company's business will be necessary and relevant to each new director.

Ethical Business Conduct

The board expects management to operate the business of the Company in a manner that enhances shareholder value and is consistent with the highest level of integrity. Management is expected to execute the Company's business plan and to meet performance objectives and goals. In addition, the board must comply with conflict of interest provisions in Canadian corporate law, including 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 executive officer has a material interest.

Nomination of Directors

Given the Company's current stage of development and size of the board, the board is presently of the view that it functions effectively as a committee of the whole with respect to the nomination of directors. The entire board will assess potential nominees and take responsibility for selecting new directors. Any nominees are expected to be generally the result of recruitment efforts by the board members, including both formal and informal discussions among board members and management of the Company.

The Company's Articles include a provision requiring advance notice of the nomination of persons to act as directors of the Company. Under this provision, subject only to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), nominations of persons for election to the board may be made at any annual meeting of shareholders, or at any special meeting of shareholders if one of the purposes for which the special meeting was called was the election of directors, (a) by or at the direction of the board or an authorized officer of the Company, including pursuant to a notice of meeting, (b) by or at the direction or request of one or more shareholders pursuant to a proposal made in accordance with the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) or a requisition of the shareholders made in accordance with the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) or (c) by any person (a "Nominating Shareholder") (i) who, at the close of business on the date of the giving of the notice of nomination and on the record date for notice of such meeting, is entered in the central securities register of the Company as a holder of one or more shares carrying the right to vote at such meeting or who beneficially owns shares that are entitled to be voted at such meeting and (ii) who complies with the notice procedures set out in the advance notice provision, including without limitation that such notice must be provided to the Company (A) in the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, not more than 65 days and not less than 30 days prior to the date of the annual meeting of shareholders (provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting of shareholders is called for a date that is less than 50 days after the date on which the first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was made (the "Notice Date"), notice by the Nominating Shareholder may be made not later than the close of business on the 10th business day following the Notice Date); and (B) in the case of a special meeting (which is not also an annual meeting) of shareholders called for the purpose of electing directors (whether or not called for other purposes), not later than the close of business on the 15th business day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting of shareholders was made.

Compensation

The Company does not have a Compensation Committee. Compensation matters for the Company's directors and officers are dealt with by the full board. The board meets to discuss and determine director and management compensation without reference to formal objectives, criteria or analysis.

Other Board Committees

The only board committee of the Company is the Audit Committee.

Assessments

The board annually reviews its own performance and effectiveness. Neither the Company nor the board has determined formal means or methods to regularly assess the board, its committees or the individual directors with respect to their effectiveness and contributions. Effectiveness is subjectively measured by comparing actual corporate results with stated objectives. The contributions of an individual director are informally monitored by the other board members, having in mind the business strengths of the individual and the purpose of originally nominating the individual to the board.

The board is of the view that the Company's corporate governance practices are appropriate and effective for the Company, given its relatively small size and limited operations. The Company's method of corporate governance allows for the Company to operate efficiently, with simple checks and balances that control and monitor management and corporate functions without excessive administrative burden.

AUDIT COMMITTEE DISCLOSURE

General

The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing the Company's financial reporting procedures, internal controls and the performance of the financial management and external auditor of the Company. The Audit Committee also reviews the annual and interim financial statements and makes recommendations to the Board.

As the Company is a "venture issuer" (as defined in National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees

("NI 52-110")), it is relying on the exemptions provided to it under section 6.1 of NI 52-110 with respect to the composition of the Audit Committee and with respect to Audit Committee reporting obligations. At no time since the commencement of the Company's most recently completed financial year has the Company relied on the exemption in Section 2.4 of NI 52-110 (De Minimis Non-Audit Services*)*, or an exemption from NI 52-110, in whole or in part, granted under Part 8 of NI 52-110.

The Audit Committee has adopted specific policies and procedures for the engagement of non-audit services as described in the charter of the Audit Committee under the heading "Responsibilities". At no time since the commencement of the Company's most recently completed financial year was a recommendation of the Audit Committee to nominate or compensate an external auditor not adopted by the board of directors.

The Audit Committee is comprised of Bob Hans, Robert Quinn and Raymond Marks, all of whom are "financially literate" and two of whom (Bob Hans and Raymond Marks) are "independent", as those terms are defined in NI 52-110. Each of the members of the Audit Committee has served as a director and officer for a number of companies, including reporting issuers, and in such capacities has considered, reviewed and approved those companies' financial statements and internal controls and procedures for financial controls, which provides each member with (i) an understanding of the accounting principles used by the Company to prepare its financial statements, (ii) the ability to assess the general application of such accounting principles in connection with the accounting for estimates, accruals and provisions, (iii) experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company's financial statements, and (iv) an understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.

Charter

The Audit Committee's charter is attached to this Information Circular as Appendix I.

External Auditor Service Fees (By Category)

The aggregate fees billed by the Company's external auditor in each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees are as follows:

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The audited financial statements of Hansco for the year ended September 30, 2020 (the "Hansco Financial Statements"), together with the auditor's reports thereon, will be presented to the shareholders of Hansco at the Meeting. A form that shareholders may use to request a copy of the Hansco financial statements, together with the auditor's reports thereon and management's discussion and analysis of the Hansco financial statements, as well as the interim financial statements and management's discussion and analysis of the interim financial statements, is being mailed to the shareholders with this Information Circular.

PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON AT THE MEETING

(b) questioning management and the external auditor regarding significant financial reporting issues discussed during the fiscal period and the method of resolution;

(c) reviewing audited annual financial statements, in conjunction with the report of the external auditor;

(d) reviewing any problems experienced by the external auditor in performing the audit, including any restrictions imposed by management or significant accounting issues on which there was a disagreement with management; and

  6. The Audit Committee shall establish procedures for:
