INFORMATION CIRCULAR

(Containing information as at June 2, 2025 unless indicated otherwise)

This Information Circular (the "Information Circular") is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of IEMR Resources Inc. for use at the annual general meeting of our shareholders (the "Meeting") to be held on Monday, July 7, 2025 at the time and place and for the purposes described in the Notice of the Meeting.

In this Information Circular, references to "the Company", "we", "us" and "our" refer to IEMR Resources Inc. "Common Shares" means common shares without par value in the capital of the Company. "Registered Shareholders" means shareholders whose names appear on the Company's records as the registered holders of Common Shares. "Beneficial Shareholders" means shareholders who do not hold Common Shares in their own name and instead hold their Common Shares through an Intermediary. "Intermediaries" refers to brokers, investment firms, clearing houses and similar entities that hold Common Shares on behalf of Beneficial Shareholders.

GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

Solicitation of Proxies

The solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, but proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone by our directors, officers and regular employees at nominal cost. We will bear all costs of this solicitation. We have arranged for Intermediaries to forward the proxy-related materials to our Beneficial Shareholders and we may reimburse the Intermediaries for their reasonable fees and disbursements in that regard.

Appointment of Proxyholders

The individuals named in the accompanying form of proxy (the "Proxy") are our officers and/or directors. If you are a shareholder entitled to vote at the Meeting, you have the right to appoint a person or company other than either of the persons designated in the Proxy, who need not be a shareholder, to attend and act for you and on your behalf at the meeting. You may do so either by inserting the name of that other person in the blank space provided in the Proxy or by completing and delivering another suitable form of proxy. If your Common Shares are held in physical form (i.e. paper form) and are registered in your name, then you are a Registered Shareholder. However, if, like most shareholders, you keep your Common Shares in a brokerage account or through another Intermediary, then you are a Beneficial Shareholder. The manner for voting is different for Registered Shareholders and Beneficial Shareholders. The instructions below should be read carefully by all shareholders.

Voting by Proxyholder

The persons named in the Proxy will vote or withhold from voting the Common Shares represented by the Proxy in accordance with your instructions on any ballot that may be called for. If you specify a choice regarding any matter to be acted upon, your Common Shares will be voted accordingly. The Proxy gives discretionary authority to the persons named as proxyholders in the Proxy, regarding the following:


  • 2 -

(a) each matter identified in the Proxy for which a choice is not specified, other than the appointment of an auditor and the election of directors,
(b) any amendment to or variation of any matter identified in the Proxy, and
(c) any other matter that properly comes before the Meeting.

If a choice is not specified or where both choices have been specified in respect of a matter in the Proxy, the persons named in the Proxy will vote the Common Shares represented by the Proxy in favour of such matter.

Registered Shareholders

Registered Shareholders may wish to vote by proxy whether or not they are able to attend the Meeting in person. Registered Shareholders electing to submit a proxy may do so by:

(a) completing, dating and signing the Proxy that accompanies this Information Circular or another suitable form of Proxy and returning it to our transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. ("Computershare") by mail or by hand to the 8th Floor, 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1;
(b) using a touch-tone phone to transmit voting choices to the following toll-free number 1-866-732-8683. Registered Shareholders must follow the instructions of the voice response system and refer to the form of Proxy for the holder's account number and the proxy control number; or
(c) using the Internet through the website of the Company's transfer agent at www.investorvote.com. Registered Shareholders must follow the instructions that appear on the screen and refer to the form of Proxy for the holder's account number and the proxy control number.

It is critical that we receive your proxy or your telephone or Internet votes at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time of the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting.

Beneficial Shareholders

The following information is of significant importance to shareholders who do not hold Common Shares in their own name. If your Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to you by an Intermediary, then in almost all cases your Common Shares will not be registered in your name on the records of the Company. Your Common Shares will more likely be registered under the name of your Intermediary. In Canada, the vast majority of such Common Shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms), and in the United States, under the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for The Depository Trust Company (which acts as depositary for many U.S. brokerage firms and custodian banks)

Intermediaries are required to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders before shareholders' meetings. Every Intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients. Beneficial Shareholders should note that the only proxies that can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting are those deposited by Registered Shareholders. In order to vote their Common Shares, Beneficial Shareholders must follow the procedures provided by the Intermediaries.


  • 3 -

There are two kinds of Beneficial Shareholders – those who object to their name being made known to us (called "OBOs" for "Objecting Beneficial Owners") and those who do not object to us knowing who they are (called "NOBOs" for "Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners").

These proxy-related materials are being sent to both Registered Shareholders and Beneficial Shareholders of the Company. If you are a NOBO, your name and address and information about your holdings of Common Shares have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary holding Common Shares on your behalf.

Beneficial Shareholders who are NOBOs and OBOs should carefully follow the instructions of your Intermediary to ensure that your Common Shares are voted at the Meeting. The form of VIF supplied to you by your Intermediary will be similar to the Proxy provided to Registered Shareholders by the Company. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the Intermediary on how to vote on your behalf. Most Intermediaries now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge") in Canada and the United States. Broadridge mails a similar VIF (the "Broadridge VIF") instead of the Proxy provided by the Company. The Broadridge VIF will appoint the same persons as the Company's Proxy to represent you at the Meeting. You have the right to appoint a person (who need not be a Beneficial Shareholder), other than the persons designated in the Broadridge VIF, to represent you at the Meeting. To exercise this right, you should insert the name of the desired representative in the blank space provided in the Broadridge VIF. The completed Broadridge VIF must then be returned to Broadridge by mail or facsimile or given to Broadridge by phone or over the Internet, in accordance with Broadridge's instructions. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions for the voting of Common Shares to be represented at the Meeting. If you receive a Broadridge VIF, you cannot use it to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting – the Broadridge VIF must be completed and returned to Broadridge, in accordance with its instructions, well before the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted.

Although as a Beneficial Shareholder you may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Common Shares registered in the name of your Intermediary, you, or a person designated by you, may attend the Meeting and vote your Common Shares as proxyholder for your Intermediary. If you wish to attend the Meeting and indirectly vote your Common Shares as proxyholder for your Intermediary, or have a person designated by you do so, you should enter your own name, or the name of the person you wish to designate, in the blank space on the VIF provided to you and return it to your Intermediary in accordance with their instructions, well in advance of the Meeting.

Alternatively, you can request in writing that your Intermediary send you a legal proxy that would enable you, or a person designated by you, to attend at the Meeting and vote your Common Shares.

Revocation of Proxies

In addition to revoking your proxy in any other manner permitted by law, a Registered Shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it by signing a proxy bearing a later date or by signing a valid notice of revocation. Either a proxy with a later date or another valid notice of revocation must be signed by the Registered Shareholder or the Registered Shareholder's authorized attorney in writing, or, if the Registered Shareholder is a corporation, by an authorized officer or attorney, and by delivering the proxy with the later date to Computershare or at the address of our legal counsel at Suite 700, 595 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V7X 1S8, at any time up to and including the last business day before the day of the Meeting or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, the last business day before the day the Meeting is reconvened, or to the chairman of the Meeting on the day


  • 4 -
    of the Meeting or any date on which the Meeting is reconvened. A revocation of a proxy will not affect a matter on which a vote is taken before the revocation.

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

None of our directors or executive officers, nor any person who has held such a position since the beginning of our last completed financial year end, nor any nominee for election as a director of the Company, nor any associate or affiliate of the foregoing persons, has any substantial or material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted on at the Meeting other than the election of directors and as may be set out in this Information Circular. Directors and executive officers may, however, be interested in an annual shareholder approval of our stock option plan. See "PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON – Re-Approval of Stock Option Plan".

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

Our board of directors (the "Board") has set Monday, June 2, 2025 as the record date (the "Record Date") for determining the shareholders who are entitled to receive notice of the Meeting. Only shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date who either attend the Meeting personally or complete, sign and deliver a form of proxy in the manner described above will be entitled to vote or to have their Common Shares voted at the Meeting.

As of Monday, June 2, 2025 there were 94,807,141 Common Shares issued and outstanding, each carrying the right to one vote.

On a show of hands, every shareholder present in person or represented by a proxy and every person who is a representative of one or more corporate shareholders who is present at the Meeting and is entitled to vote will have one vote for each Common Share held. If a poll is requested, every shareholder present in person or represented by a proxy and every person who is a representative of one or more corporate shareholders, will have one vote for each Common Share held by such shareholder.

To the knowledge of our directors and executive officers, the following persons or corporations beneficially own, directly or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over, Common Shares carrying 10% or more of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as at June 2, 2025:

Name of Shareholder Number of Common Shares Held^{(1)} Percentage of Total Outstanding Common Shares
Zheng Fu 72,040,857^{(1)} 75.96%

Note:
(1) 64,302,857 of these Common Shares are beneficially owned and controlled by Zheng Fu through IEMR Group Limited, a private company of which he owns 100% of the outstanding shares.

VOTES NECESSARY TO PASS RESOLUTIONS

A simple majority (more than 50%) of affirmative votes cast at the Meeting is required to pass the resolutions described in this Information Circular. If there are more nominees for election as directors or appointment of our auditor than there are vacancies to fill, those nominees receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected or appointed, as the case may be, until all such vacancies have been filled. If the number of nominees for election or appointment is equal to the number of vacancies to be filled, all such nominees will be declared elected by acclamation.


  • 5 -

NUMBER OF DIRECTORS

The Board proposes that the number of directors to be elected at the Meeting be set at five (5). Shareholders will therefore be asked to approve an ordinary resolution that the number of directors be set at five (5).

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The term of office of directors elected by shareholders at an annual general meeting ends at the close of the next annual general meeting of the shareholders, unless the director resigns or retires or is removed from office earlier in accordance with the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) ("BCBCA"). The term of office of an individual appointed as a director by the Board between annual general meetings also ends at the close of the next annual general meeting, unless such director resigns or retires or is removed from office earlier. If less than the number of directors set by shareholders is elected at an annual general meeting, the Board is not permitted under the BCBCA to appoint an individual to fill that vacancy before the next annual general meeting, unless the Board approves an increase in the number of directors subject to the restrictions in the BCBCA. If, however, a current director resigns or retires or is removed in accordance with the BCBCA before the next annual general meeting, the Board is permitted under the BCBCA to appoint a new director to fill the vacancy.

The following table sets out the names of management's nominees for election as a director (a "proposed director"), the province or state and country in which he or she is an ordinarily resident, all major offices and positions held with the Company, each nominee's principal occupation, business or employment, the period of time during which each has been a director of the Company, and the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by each, directly or indirectly, or over which each nominee exercises control or direction, as of the date of this Information Circular.

Stock Options and Other Compensation Securities

No incentive stock options ("Options") or other compensation securities were granted or issued to NEOs or directors during the financial year ended October 31, 2024 for services provided or to be provided, directly or indirectly, to the Company or any of our subsidiaries.

During the financial year ended October 31, 2024, no Options or other compensation securities were exercised by any NEO or director.

Stock Option Plan

We adopted a new stock option plan (the "Plan") in 2022 for the granting of Options to our directors, officers, employees, consultants and other eligible persons, which was approved by our shareholders at the last annual general meeting held on June 27, 2024, and by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). The purpose of granting Options is to assist us in compensating, attracting, retaining and motivating our directors and to closely align the personal interests of those individuals to those of our shareholders.

We grant Options according to the level of responsibility of the executive officer as well as his or her impact or contribution to our longer-term operating performance. In setting the number of Options to be granted to our executive officers, the Board takes into account the number of Options, if any, previously granted to each executive officer, and the exercise price of any outstanding Options to ensure that such grants comply with the policies of the Exchange, and closely align the interests of our executive officers with the interests of our shareholders.

The Board has the responsibility to administer the compensation policies related to our executive management, including Options. A description of the material terms of the Plan is found under the heading "PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON – Re-Approval of Stock Option Plan".

Employment, Consulting and Management Agreements

The Company has no employment or consulting agreements with any of its NEOs or directors. Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this Information Circular, no management functions are to any substantial degree performed by a person or company other than our NEOs and directors.

Oversight and Description of Director and Named Executive Officer Compensation

Director Compensation

The Company has no standard arrangements pursuant to which directors are compensated by the Company for their services in their capacity as directors except for the granting from time to time of Options in accordance with the policies of the Exchange. The granting of Options provides a link between director compensation and the Company's share price. It also rewards directors for achieving results that improve the Company's performance and thereby increase shareholder value. In making a determination as to whether a grant of long-term Options is appropriate, and if so, the number of Options that should be granted, the Board will consider: the number and terms of outstanding Options held by each director; the value in securities of the Company that the Board intends to award as compensation; the potential dilution to shareholders and the cost to the Company; general industry standards; and the limits imposed by the terms of our Plan and the Exchange. The granting of Options allows the Company to reward the directors' efforts to increase value for shareholders without requiring the Company to use


  • 10 -

cash from its treasury. The terms and conditions of the grant of Options, including vesting provisions and exercise prices, are governed by the terms of the Plan, which are described in more detail under "PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON – Re-Approval of Stock Option Plan". The directors may be reimbursed for actual expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the performance of their duties as directors.

Executive Officer Compensation

The Board as a whole determines executive compensation from time to time. We do not have a formal compensation policy. When setting the compensation of our executive officers, the Board considers: i) recruiting, motivating and retaining executives critical to our success and the enhancement of shareholder value; ii) providing fair and competitive compensation; iii) balancing the interests of management and our shareholders; and iv) rewarding performance, both on an individual basis and in the context of our operations in general. We do not have a formal compensation program. However, the Board meets from time to time to discuss and determine management compensation, without reference to formal objectives, criteria or analysis. The general objectives of the Board's compensation strategy are to (a) compensate management in a manner that encourages and rewards a high level of performance and outstanding results with a view to increasing long-term shareholder value; (b) align management's interests with the long-term interests of our shareholders; (c) provide a compensation package that enables us to attract and retain talent; and (d) ensure that the total compensation package is designed in a manner that takes into account the constraints that we are under by virtue of the fact that we are a mineral exploration company without a history of revenue.

The Board generally considers three elements of compensation – cash salary, cash consulting fees, and Options.

Cash salary or consulting fees is used to provide the executive officer with a set amount of money during the year with the expectation that he or she will perform his or her responsibilities to the best of his or her ability and in our best interests. The Board determines what the executive officer's salary or consulting fee compensation will be, based on the overall performance of the Company, the performance of the executive officer and general trends in the industry. We do not expect to use any formally defined objectives, benchmarks criteria and analysis in all cases.

The granting of Options provides a link between management compensation and our share price. It also rewards management for achieving results that improve our performance and thereby increase shareholder value. In making a determination as to whether a grant of long-term Options is appropriate, and if so, the number of options that should be granted, the Board will consider: the level of responsibility of the executive officer; the number of options, if any, previously granted to each executive officer; the exercise price of any outstanding options; the potential dilution to shareholders and the cost to the Company; general industry standards; and the limits imposed by the terms of the Company's stock option plan and the Exchange. We consider the granting of Options to be a particularly important element of compensation as it allows us to reward the executive officer's efforts to increase value for shareholders without requiring us to use cash from its treasury. The terms and conditions of stock option grants, including vesting provisions and exercise prices, are governed by the terms of the Plan, which are described under the heading "PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON – Re-Approval of New Stock Option Plan".

The Board have the discretion to pay cash bonuses to our executive officers, however, we have no formal bonus plan or any other formal arrangements under which bonuses may be earned and we do not expect to pay any bonuses to our executive officers in the current financial year.

Other than as described above there are no other perquisites provided to the Named Executive Officers.

SECURITIES AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

The only equity compensation plan which we have in place is the Plan, which is administered by the Board. The Plan has been established to provide incentive to qualified individuals to increase their proprietary interest in the Company and thereby encourage their continuing association with us. A description of the significant terms of the Plan is found under the heading "PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON – Re-Approval of Stock Option Plan".

  • 12 -

(b) a director or executive officer of a person or company that is itself an informed person or subsidiary of the Company;

(c) any person or company who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, the Company's voting securities or who exercises control or direction over the Company's voting securities or a combination of both carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all the Company's outstanding voting securities other than voting securities held by the person or company as underwriter in the course of a distribution; and

(d) the Company if it has purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired any of the Company's securities, so long as the Company holds any of its securities.

APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR

At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to approve the appointment of Manning Elliott LLP, Chartered Accountants, as our auditor to hold office until the next annual general meeting of the shareholders at a remuneration to be fixed by the directors. Manning Elliott LLP was first appointed on June 29, 2015.

Management recommends that shareholders vote for the appointment of Manning Elliott LLP as our auditor for the Company's financial year ending October 31, 2024 at a remuneration to be fixed by the Board.

AUDIT COMMITTEE AND RELATIONSHIP WITH AUDITOR

National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees ("NI 52-110") requires the Company, as a "venture issuer", to disclose annually in our Information Circular certain information concerning our audit committee and our relationship with our independent auditor, as described below.

The Audit Committee’s Charter

Our audit committee has a charter. A copy of the audit committee charter is attached as Schedule “A” to this Information Circular.

Composition of the Audit Committee

The members of our audit committee are Charles Yuen, Natalie Ni Shi and JieLu Yu. Ms. Shi and Ms. Yu are the independent members of our audit committee. All members of the audit committee are considered to be financially literate.

A member of the audit committee is independent if the member has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. A material relationship means a relationship which could, in the view of the Board, reasonably interfere with the exercise of a member's independent judgment.

A member of the audit committee is considered financially literate if he or she has the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company.

Relevant Education and Experience

Charles Yuen - Mr. Yuen has over twenty years of experience in developing international trade, distribution, manufacturing, marketing, financial, and organizational strategies for several Canadian


  • 13 -

businesses. He served as executive director and V.P. at several import and export corporations, and served as the chairman of the Canadian Asian Food Suppliers Association and three other non-profit organizations. He has also worked with the various levels of government on natural resources, environmental and safety issues.

Natalie Ni Shi – Ms. Shi is an accomplished classical opera singer and musician with several distributed records. She is also a film, television and live musical actress and a model in both China and the USA. She is also a co-founder and a director of the North American Foundation for Arts & Minorities (NAFAM). Ms. Shi obtained a B. M. Major in Opera and a B. M. Minor in Commerce (Sauder School of Business) at the University of British Columbia. She furthered her studies in gemmology in Hong Kong and opera in Italy and Beijing.

JieLu Yu – Ms. Yu is a financial consultant at Shanghai Zhongjing International Trade Co., Ltd., a business mainly engaged in titanium and titanium dioxide import and export and domestic trade. She is also a manager at Yukunlun Property Management Company. Ms. Yu holds a degree in Nutritional Sciences.

Each member of our audit committee has adequate education and experience that would provide the member with:

(a) an understanding of the accounting principles we use to prepare our financial statements, and the ability to assess the general application of those principles in connection with estimates, accruals and reserves;

(b) 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 our financial statements, or experience actively supervising individuals engaged in such activities; and

(c) an understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.

Audit Committee Oversight

At no time since the commencement of our most recently completed financial year has the audit committee made any recommendations to the Board to nominate or compensate our auditor, which were not adopted by the Board.

Reliance on Certain Exemptions

At no time since the commencement of our most recently completed financial year have we 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. Part 8 permits a company to apply to a securities regulatory authority for an exemption from the requirements of NI 52-110, in whole or in part.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Our audit committee is authorized by the Board to review the performance of our external auditor and approve in advance provision of services other than auditing and to consider the independence of our external auditors, including reviewing the range of services provided in the context of all consulting services bought by the Company. The chairman of our audit committee is authorized to approve any non-audit services or additional work which the chairman deems as necessary and is required to notify the other members of the audit committee of such non-audit or additional work.

External Auditor Service Fees

Our audit committee has reviewed the nature and amount of the non-audited services provided to us by Manning Elliott LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, to ensure auditor independence. Fees incurred with Manning Elliott LLP for audit and non-audit services in the last two financial years are outlined in the following table:

Nature of Services Fees Paid to Auditor in Year Ended October 31, 2024 Fees Paid to Auditor in Year Ended October 31, 2023
Audit Fees^{(1)} $36,500 $23,250
Audit-Related Fees^{(2)} $438 $279
Tax Fees^{(3)} $6,750 $6,750
All Other Fees^{(4)} Nil Nil
Total $43,688 $30,279

Notes:

(1) "Audit Fees" include fees necessary to perform the annual audit and quarterly reviews of our financial statements. Audit Fees include fees for review of tax provisions and for accounting consultations on matters reflected in the financial statements. Audit Fees also include audit or other attest services required by legislation or regulation, such as comfort letters, consents, reviews of securities filings and statutory audits.

(2) "Audit-Related Fees" include services that are traditionally performed by our auditor. These audit-related services include employee benefit audits, due diligence assistance, accounting consultations on proposed transactions, internal control reviews and audit or attest services not required by legislation or regulation.

(3) "Tax Fees" include fees for all tax services other than those included in "Audit Fees" and "Audit-Related Fees". This category includes fees for tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice. Tax planning and tax advice includes assistance with tax audits and appeals, tax advice related to mergers and acquisitions, and requests for rulings or technical advice from tax authorities.

(4) "All Other Fees" include all other non-audit services.

Exemption

We are relying upon the exemption in section 6.1 of NI 52-110.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices ("NI 58-101") requires issuers to disclose the corporate governance practices that they have adopted. The corporate governance practices we have adopted are set out below.

Independence of Board Members

The Board is currently composed of five directors, namely Charles Yuen, Zheng Fu, Natalie Ni Shi, JieLu Yu and Zachary Yuen. Each of the five current directors are expected to continue as directors following the Meeting. Of the five individuals to be nominated by management for election as directors, Natalie Ni Shi, JieLu Yu and Zachary Yuen are independent based upon the tests for independence set out in section 1.4 of NI 52-110. Charles Yuen is not considered independent because he is our Chief Executive Officer. Zheng Fu is not independent because he is our President, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary.


  • 15 -

Management Supervision by Board

Our current operations do not support a large board of directors and the Board has determined that the current constitution of the Board is appropriate for our current stage of development.

Independent supervision of management is accomplished by choosing management who demonstrate a high level of integrity and ability and by having strong independent Board members. Our independent directors, however, are able to meet at any time without any members of management, including the non-independent directors being present. In addition, our audit committee is required to be comprised of a majority of independent directors. We will need to appoint one more independent director to become a member of our audit committee as soon as possible after the Meeting has taken place. We are seeking suitable candidates for this position.

Participation of Directors in Other Reporting Issuers

None of our current or nominee directors are also directors or officers of other reporting issuers.

Orientation and Continuing Education

There is no formal orientation for new members of the Board, and this is considered to be appropriate, given our size and current limited operations. While we do not have formal orientation and training programs, new Board members are provided with:

  1. access to our recent, publicly filed documents; and
  2. access to management, the auditor and our consultants.

The skills and knowledge of the Board as a whole is such that we do not believe that any formal continuing education process is currently required. The Board is comprised of individuals with varying backgrounds, who have, both collectively and individually, extensive experience in running and managing public companies in the natural resource sector.

Board members are encouraged to communicate with management, our auditor and our consultants and to keep themselves current with industry trends and developments and changes in legislation. Board members have full access to our records.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board expects management to operate our business in a manner that enhances shareholder value and is consistent with the highest level of integrity. The Board views good corporate governance as an integral component to our success and to meet responsibilities to shareholders. Management is expected to carry out our business plan and to meet performance goals and objectives. To date, the Board has not adopted a formal written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. However, the current limited size of our operations and the small number of officers and employees allow the independent members of the Board to monitor on an ongoing basis management's activities and to ensure that the highest standard of ethical conduct is maintained. As we grow in size and scope, the Board anticipates that it will adopt a formal Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Nomination of Directors

The Board determines new nominees to the Board, although a formal process has not been adopted. The Board assesses potential Board candidates based on perceived needs on the Board, required skills expertise, independence and other factors. The nominees are generally the result of recruitment efforts


  • 16 -

by the Board members, including both formal and informal discussions among Board members and our Chief Executive Officer.

Compensation of Directors and the CEO

The independent directors have the responsibility for determining compensation for our directors and senior management. When setting compensation, our independent directors review compensation paid to directors and CEOs of companies of similar size and stage of development in the mineral exploration and mining industry. They determine an appropriate compensation that reflects the need to provide incentive and compensation for the time and effort expended by the directors and senior management while also taking into account our financial and other resources.

Board Committees

The Board has determined that additional committees are not necessary at this stage of our development.

Assessments

The Board monitors but does not formally assess the performance of individual Board members or committee members or their contributions. The Board does not, at present, have a formal process in place for assessing the effectiveness of the Board as a whole, its committees or individual directors, but will consider establishing one in the future if circumstances warrant. Based on our size, our stage of development and the limited number of Board members, the Board considers a formal assessment process to be inappropriate at this time. The Board plans to continue evaluating its own effectiveness on an ad hoc basis. The current size of the Board is such that the entire Board takes responsibility for selecting new directors and assessing our current directors. One or more members of the Board review a proposed directors' credentials before a Board Meeting at which the proposed director may be appointed or nominated for election by the shareholders.

PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Re-Approval of Stock Option Plan

We established the Plan in 2022 to grant Options as an incentive to persons eligible under the Plan ("Eligible Persons") to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company, to continue their participation in the affairs of the Company and to increase their efforts on behalf of the Company. The Plan is administered by the Board and Options may be granted at the discretion of the Board to Eligible Persons ("Optionees"). The total number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan and any other securities based compensation arrangement (together, "Securities Based Compensation"), from time to time, may not exceed in aggregate 10% of the Company's Common Shares issued and outstanding as at the date of grant or issuance of Securities Based Compensation.

Eligible Persons
