COVID-19 SAFETY PROTOCOLS

The Corporation will be following stringent safety protocols for the Meeting as a result of the coronavirus pandemic (“ COVID-19 ”). Registered shareholders and properly appointed proxy holders who wish to attend the Meeting in person will be required to present their identification and a copy of their completed proxy or other proof of their status as a shareholder or valid proxy holder, not enter with any food or drink, wear masks covering their nose and chin at all times while inside the building and maintain appropriate social distancing at all times. The capacity of the Corporation’s offices is limited to ten (10) people including management representatives and those choosing to attend in person will be accommodated on a “first-come first-served” basis.

All shareholders are strongly urged to send in their proxies in advance of the Meeting as set out in the Circular below and as set out in the proxy or voting instruction form mailed to registered shareholders and Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners (“NOBO”) to ensure that their votes are counted at the Meeting. The lockdown resulting from the outbreak of COVID-19 has created unprecedented disruptions in the global economy and has required the Corporation to take all necessary precautions to ensure the health and safety of its officers, directors, employees and shareholders. Given the fact that the spread of COVID-19 continues, the Corporation needs to continue to take appropriate precautions while proceeding with the Meeting. In order to provide some accommodation to those shareholders unable or unwilling to attend in person, the Corporation has set up a conference call number for shareholders and guests to phone in and listen to the Meeting (the “ Conference Call ”), the particulars of which are set out below. Following the completion of the formal part of the Meeting, the President and CEO of the Corporation, Roger Moss, will make a presentation to the Meeting. Those shareholders and guests participating in the Conference Call will be able to ask questions of Roger Moss. Participation in the

Conference Call will not constitute attendance at the Meeting and voting will not be permitted by telephone. The Meeting has not been set up as a “virtual meeting”. The Corporation is providing the Conference Call as a means for those participating in the Conference Call to ask questions of and receive responses from Roger Moss relating to the business of the Corporation.

NOTICE-AND-ACCESS

Notice is also hereby given that Labrador Gold Corp. has decided to use the notice-and-access method of delivery of meeting materials for the 2023 Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders. The notice-and-access method of delivery of meeting materials allows the Corporation to deliver the meeting materials over the internet in accordance with the notice-and-access rules adopted by the Ontario Securities Commission under National Instrument 54-101 Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer . Under the noticeand-access system, shareholders still receive a proxy or voting instruction form (as applicable) enabling them to vote at the Meeting. However, instead of a paper copy of the Circular, the Annual Financial Statements and Annual MD&A and other meeting materials (collectively the “ Meeting Materials ”), shareholders receive a notification (the “ Notice-and-Access Notification ”) with information on how they may access such materials electronically. The use of this alternative means of delivery is more environmentally friendly as it will help reduce paper use and will also

reduce the cost of printing and mailing materials to shareholders. Shareholders are reminded to view the Meeting Materials prior to voting.

Websites Where Meeting Materials Are Posted:

Meeting Materials can be viewed online under the Corporation’s profile at www.sedar.com or on https://docs.tsxtrust.com/2339.

How to Obtain Paper Copies of the Meeting Materials

Registered holders or non-registered holders may request paper copies of the Meeting Materials be sent to them by postal delivery at no cost to them. Requests may be made up to one year from the date the Meeting Materials are posted on the Corporation’s website. In order to receive a paper copy of the Meeting Materials or if you have questions concerning Notice-and-Access, please call TSX Trust toll free at 1-866-600-5869 or email TSX Trust at [email protected].

Requests should be received by Thursday, March 23, 2023 in order to receive the Meeting Materials in advance of the proxy deposit date and Meeting.

RECORD DATE AND PROXY DELIVERY DATE

The Board of Directors of the Corporation has, by resolution, fixed the close of business on February 21, 2023 as the Record Date, being the date for determination of the registered holders of Common Shares entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

The Board of Directors of the Corporation has, by resolution, fixed the hour of 11:00 a.m. in the morning (Toronto time) on Thursday, March 30, 2023, being not less than 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays, preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, as the time before which the instrument of proxy to be used at the Meeting must be deposited with the Transfer Agent of the Corporation, TSX Trust Company, Suite 301, 100 Adelaide Street West, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 4H1 provided that a proxy may be delivered to the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof prior to the time for voting to revoke a proxy previously delivered in accordance with the foregoing.

Shareholders entitled to vote who do not expect to be present at the Meeting are urged to date, sign and return the form of proxy or voting instruction form delivered to them with the Notice-and-Access Notification.

DATED the 21[st] day of February, 2023.

Although it is expected that the solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, proxies may also be solicited personally by the Directors and/or officers of the Corporation at nominal cost. Arrangements have been made with brokerage houses and other intermediaries, clearing agencies, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the common shares (“ Common Shares ”) held of record by such persons and the Corporation may reimburse such persons for reasonable fees and disbursements incurred by them in doing so. The costs thereof will be borne by the Corporation.

NOTICE-AND-ACCESS

The Corporation has elected to use the “notice-and-access” process under National Instrument 54-101 Communications with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (“ NI-54- 101 ”) and National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations , for distribution of this Circular and other meeting materials to registered Shareholders of the Corporation and non-registered shareholders of the Corporation as set out in the “Advice to Non-Registered Shareholders” section below.

Notice-and-access allows issuers to post electronic versions of meeting materials, including circulars, annual financial statements and management discussion and analysis, online, via SEDAR and one other website, rather than

-3-

mailing paper copies of such meeting materials to shareholders. The Corporation anticipates that utilizing the notice-and-access process will substantially reduce both postage and printing costs.

The Corporation has posted the Circular, the Corporation’s audited financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (the “ Annual Financial Statements ”) and the Corporation’s management discussion and analysis for the year ended September 30, 2022 (the “ Annual MD&A ”) on the website, https://docs.tsxtrust.com/2339.

Although the Circular, Annual Financial Statements and Annual MD&A (collectively, the “ Meeting Materials ”) will be posted electronically online, as noted above, the registered and non-registered shareholders (subject to the provisions set out below under the heading “Advice to Non-Registered Shareholders”) (collectively the “ Noticeand-Access Shareholders ”) will receive a “notice package” (the “ Notice-and-Access Notification ”), by prepaid mail, which includes the information prescribed by NI 54-101, and a proxy form or voting instruction form from their respective intermediaries. Notice-and-Access Shareholders should follow the instructions for completion and delivery contained in the proxy or voting instruction form. Notice-and-Access Shareholders are reminded to review the Circular before voting.

Notice-and-Access Shareholders will not receive a paper copy of the Meeting Materials unless they contact TSX Trust Company (“ TSX Trust ”) in which case TSX Trust will mail the requested materials within three business days of any request provided the request is made prior to the Meeting. Notice-and-Access Shareholders with questions about notice-and-access may contact TSX Trust toll free at 1-866-600-5869 or by email at [email protected]. In order to receive a paper copy of the Meeting Materials in time to vote before the Meeting, your request should be received by Thursday, March 23, 2023.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

The persons named in the form of proxy or voting instruction form are officers or Directors of the Corporation (the “ Management Designees ”). A SHAREHOLDER DESIRING TO APPOINT SOME OTHER PERSON, WHO NEED NOT BE A SHAREHOLDER OF THE CORPORATION, TO REPRESENT HIM OR HER AT THE MEETING MAY DO SO by inserting such other person’s name in the blank space provided in the form of proxy or voting instruction form and depositing the completed proxy with the Transfer Agent of the Corporation, TSX Trust Company, 100 Adelaide Street West, Suite 301, Toronto, Ontario M5H 4H1 ATTN: Proxy Dept. A proxy can be executed by the shareholder or his attorney duly authorized in writing, or, if the shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized.

In addition to any other manner permitted by law, the proxy may be revoked before it is exercised by instrument in writing executed and delivered in the same manner as the proxy at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof at which the proxy is to be used or delivered to the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof prior to the time of voting and upon either such occurrence, the proxy is revoked.

Please note that Shareholders who receive their Notice-and-Access Notification from Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Canada (“ Broadridge ”) or an Intermediary (as defined in the “Advice to Non-Registered Shareholders” section below) must return the voting information forms, once voted, to Broadridge or their Intermediary, as applicable, for the proxy to be dealt with.

DEPOSIT OF PROXY

By resolution of the Directors duly passed, ALL PROXIES TO BE USED AT THE MEETING MUST BE DEPOSITED BY 11:00 A.M. (TORONTO TIME) ON THURSDAY, MARCH 30, 2023, BEING NOT LESS THAN 48 HOURS, EXCLUDING SATURDAYS, SUNDAYS AND STATUTORY HOLIDAYS, PRECEDING THE DATE OF THE MEETING, OR ANY ADJOURNMENT THEREOF, WITH THE CORPORATION’S TRANSFER AGENT, TSX TRUST COMPANY, provided that a proxy may be delivered to the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof prior to the time for voting to revoke a proxy previously delivered in accordance with the foregoing.

ADVICE TO NON-REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS

Only registered Shareholders or the persons they appoint as their proxies are permitted to vote at the Meeting. However, in many cases, Common Shares owned by a person are registered either (a) in the name of an intermediary (an “ Intermediary ”) that the non-registered holder deals with in respect of the Common Shares (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered registered savings plans, registered retirement income funds, registered education savings plans and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited (“ CDS ”)) of which the Intermediary is a participant (a “ Non-Registered Holder ”).

The Corporation has decided to use Notice-and-Access in accordance with the requirement of NI 54-101 to deliver the Meeting Materials to shareholders by posting the Meeting Materials on TSX Trust’s website https://docs.tsxtrust.com/2339 . The Meeting Materials will be available on TSX Trust’s website https://docs.tsxtrust.com/2339 on or before March 6, 2023 , and will remain on the website for a full year thereafter. The Meeting Materials will also be available on the Corporation’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The Corporation will only be mailing the Notice-and-Access Notification to Non-Registered Holders as set out below.

Non-Registered Holders fall into two categories – those who object to their identity being made known to the issuers of securities which they own (“ Objecting Beneficial Owners ” or “ OBOs ”) and those who do not object to their identity being made known to the issuers of the securities they own (“ Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners ” or “ NOBOs ”). Subject to the provisions of NI 54-101, issuers may request and obtain a list of their NOBOs from Intermediaries via their transfer agent. Pursuant to NI 54-101, issuers may obtain and use the NOBO list for distribution of proxy-related materials directly to such NOBOs.

If you are a Non-Objecting Beneficial Owner and the Corporation or its agent has sent the Notice-and-Access Notification directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary holding on your behalf. By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Corporation (and not the Intermediary holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for: (i) delivering these materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions as specified in the request for voting instructions.

The Corporation’s decision to deliver proxy-related materials directly to its NOBOs will result in all NOBOs receiving a Voting Instruction Form (“ VIF ”) from TSX Trust Company. Please complete and return the VIF to TSX Trust Company in the envelope provided or by facsimile. In addition, instructions in respect of the procedure for internet voting can be found in the VIF. TSX Trust Company will tabulate the results of the VIFs received from NOBOs and will provide appropriate instructions at the Meeting with respect to the Common Shares represented by the VIFs received by TSX Trust Company.

Non-Registered Shareholders who are NOBOs may make their request for paper copies of the Meeting Materials without charge by calling TSX Trust Company’s toll free number at 1-866-600-5869 or emailing TSX Trust Company at [email protected] on or before the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or thereafter contact the Corporation at 416-704-8291 or by email at [email protected].

In order to receive a paper copy of the Meeting Materials in time to vote before the Meeting, your request should be received by Thursday, March 23, 2023.

OBOs may expect to receive their materials related to the Meeting from Broadridge or other Intermediaries. If a reporting issuer does not intend to pay for an Intermediary to deliver materials to OBOs, OBOs will not receive the materials unless their Intermediary assumes the cost of delivery. The Corporation intends to pay for Intermediaries to deliver the proxy-related materials to OBOs.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Notice-and-Access Notification to Non-Registered Holders unless a Non-Registered Holder has waived the right to receive them. Very often, Intermediaries will use service companies such as Broadridge to forward the Notice-and-Access Notification to Non-Registered Holders. Generally, Non-Registered Holders who have not waived the right to receive Notice-and-Access Notification will either:

(a) be given a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile

-5-

stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number and class of securities beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Holder but which is not otherwise completed. Because the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the Non-Registered Holder when submitting the proxy. In this case, the Non-Registered Holder who wishes to vote by proxy should otherwise properly complete the form of proxy and deliver it as specified; or

b) be given a form of proxy which is not signed by the Intermediary and which, when properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Holder and returned to the Intermediary or its service company, will constitute voting instructions (often called a “ Voting Instruction Form ” or “ VIF ”) which the Intermediary must follow. Typically the Non-Registered Holder will also be given a page of instructions which contains a removable label containing a bar code and other information. In order for the form of proxy to validly constitute a Voting Instruction Form, the Non-Registered Holder must remove the label from the instructions and affix it to the Voting Instruction Form, properly complete and sign the Voting Instruction Form and submit it to the Intermediary or its service company in accordance with the instructions of the Intermediary or its service company.

In any case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit Non-Registered Holders including NOBOs to direct the voting of the Common Shares they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Holder who receives a form of proxy, VIF or Voting Instruction Form wish to vote at the Meeting in person, the Non-Registered Holder should strike out the persons named in such form of proxy and insert the Non-Registered Holder’s name in the blank space provided. Non-Registered Holders should carefully follow the instructions on the VIF or the instructions received from their Intermediary including those regarding when and where the form of proxy, VIF is to be delivered.

All references to Shareholders in this Circular, the accompanying Notice of Meeting and any proxy or voting instruction form sent to Shareholders with the Notice-and-Access Notification are to Shareholders of record unless specifically stated otherwise.

EXERCISE OF DISCRETION BY PROXIES

The persons named in the form of proxy or voting instruction form for use at the Meeting will vote the Common Shares in respect of which they are appointed in accordance with the directions of the shareholders appointing them. IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH DIRECTIONS, SUCH SHARES SHALL BE VOTED "FOR":

(a) election of the Directors as nominated by Management;
(b) appointment of DeVisser Gray LLP, Chartered Accountants, as auditors of the Corporation for the ensuing year and authorizing the Directors to fix their remuneration;
(c) ratification of the 2021 Stock Option Plan;
(d) adoption of the 2023 Stock Option Plan; and
(e) to transact such further and other business as may properly come before the said Meeting or any adjournment of adjournments thereof.

ALL AS MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN THIS CIRCULAR.

As of the date of this Circular, Management of the Corporation knows of no amendment, variation or other matter that may come before the Meeting, but if any amendment, variation or other matter properly comes before the Meeting, each Management Designee intends to vote thereon in accordance with the Management Designee’s best judgment.

The form of proxy or voting instruction form confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to any amendment, variation or other matters to come before the Meeting other than the matters referred to in the Notice of Meeting. HOWEVER, IF ANY SUCH AMENDMENTS, VARIATIONS OR OTHER MATTERS WHICH ARE NOT NOW KNOWN TO THE MANAGEMENT DESIGNEES SHOULD PROPERLY COME BEFORE THE MEETING, THE COMMON SHARES REPRESENTED BY THE PROXIES HEREBY SOLICITED WILL BE VOTED THEREON IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BEST JUDGMENT OF THE PERSON OR PERSONS VOTING SUCH PROXIES.

-6-

EFFECTIVE DATE

The effective date of this Circular is February 21, 2023.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

The authorized capital of the Corporation presently consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares of which 170,009,979 Common Shares are currently outstanding as fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares.

Each shareholder of record will be entitled to one (1) vote for each Common Share held at the Meeting.

Holders of record of the Common Shares of the Corporation on February 21, 2023 (the “ Record Date ”) will be entitled either to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (reference is made to the Covid-19 Safety Protocols on the first page of this Circular) shares held by them or, provided a completed and executed proxy shall have been delivered to the Corporation as described herein, to attend and vote thereat by proxy the shares held by them (reference is made to the Covid-19 Safety Protocols on the first page of this Circular).

To the knowledge of the Directors and executive officers of the Corporation, there are no parties who beneficially own, directly or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over 10% or more of any class of outstanding voting securities of the Corporation other than as follows:

Name of Shareholder	Number of Common Shares	Percentage of Common Shares
2176423 Ontario Ltd.	18,611,111(1)	10.9%

Note:

(1) 2176423 Ontario Ltd. is beneficially owned by Eric S. Sprott.

INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

None of the directors or executive officers of the Corporation, no proposed nominee for election as a director of the Corporation, none of the persons who have been directors or executive officers of the Corporation since the commencement of the Corporation’s last completed financial year and no associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting, other than the election of directors and the appointment of officers except as disclosed herein.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The information contained below is provided as required under Form 51-102F6 for Venture Issuers (the “ Form ”), as such term is defined in National Instrument 51-102.

In this section “ Named Executive Officer ” or “ NEO ” means the CEO, the CFO and each of the three most highly compensated executive officers, other than the CEO and CFO, who were serving as executive officers at the end of the most recently completed fiscal year and whose total compensation exceeds $150,000 as well as any additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been provided except that the individual was not serving as an officer of the Corporation at the end of the most recently completed financial year end.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Board as a whole has the responsibility of determining the compensation for the Chief Executive Officer (the “ CEO ”) and the Chief Financial Officer (the “ CFO ”) and of determining compensation for directors and senior management.

The Corporation’s compensation objectives include the following:

to assist the Corporation in attracting and retaining highly-qualified individuals;

-7-

to create among directors, officers, consultants and employees a sense of ownership in the Corporation and to align their interests with those of the shareholders; and
to ensure competitive compensation that is also financially affordable for the Corporation.

Compensation

The compensation program is designed to provide competitive levels of compensation. The Corporation recognizes the need to provide a total compensation package that will attract and retain qualified and experienced executives as well as align the compensation level of each executive to that executive’s level of responsibility. In general, the Corporation’s NEOs may receive compensation that is comprised of three components:

Salary, wages or contractor payments;
Stock option grants; and/or
Bonuses.

The objective and reason for this system of compensation is to allow the Corporation to remain competitive compared to its peers in attracting experienced personnel. The base salary of an NEO is intended to attract and retain executives by providing a reasonable amount of non-contingent remuneration.

The base salary review of each NEO takes into consideration the current competitive market conditions, experience, proven or expected performance, and the particular skills of the NEO. Base salary is not evaluated against a formal “peer group”. The independent directors rely on the general experience of its members in setting base salary amounts.

Stock option grants are designed to reward the NEOs for success on a similar basis as the shareholders of the Corporation, although the level of reward provided by a particular stock option grant is dependent upon the volatile stock market.

Any bonuses paid to the NEOs are allocated on an individual basis related to the review by the Board of the work planned during the year and the work achieved during the year, including work related to mineral exploration, administration, financing, shareholder relations and overall performance. The bonuses are paid to reward work done above the base level of expectations set by the base salary, wages or contractor payments.

Compensation of Directors

For a description of the compensation paid to the company’s Named Executive Officer(s) who also act as directors as at the end of the financial years ended September 30, 2022, September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, see “Summary Compensation Table” below.

Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this Circular, no director of the Corporation who is not a Named Executive Officer has received, during the most recently completed financial year, compensation pursuant to:

(a) any standard arrangement for the compensation of directors for their services in their capacity as directors, including any additional amounts payable for committee participation or special assignments;
(b) any other arrangement, in addition to, or in lieu of, any standard arrangement, for the compensation of directors in their capacity as directors except for the granting of stock options; or
(c) any arrangement for the compensation of directors for services as consultants or experts.

The Corporation may grant incentive stock options to directors of the Corporation from time to time pursuant to the stock option plan of the Corporation and in accordance with the policies of the TSX-V.

Summary Compensation Table

The following table contains information about the compensation paid to, earned by and payable to, the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer, Roger Moss and the Chief Financial Officer, Eric Myung, and the former Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, Aurora Davidson, for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2022, September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020. In accordance with the Form, the Corporation does not have any other “Named Executive Officers” given that no executive officer receives total salary and bonus in excess of $150,000. Specific aspects of compensation payable to the Named Executive Officers of the Corporation are dealt with in further detail in subsequent tables.

Pursuant to a contract made as of September 1, 2020 (the “ Moss Contract ”) between the Corporation and Moss Exploration Services Ltd.

Effective October 1, 2021, the Moss Contract was superseded and replaced with a new agreement pursuant to which Moss is paid a fee of $14,000 per month plus applicable taxes for fiscal 2022.

The Moss Contract contains termination provisions, which may be summarized as follows:

(a) Moss may terminate the Moss Contract by giving notice to the Corporation at least one month

-10-

prior to termination;

(b) The Corporation may terminate the Moss Contract immediately upon the death of Dr. Moss or for cause, upon which Moss is entitled to the prorated portion of its fee through the date of termination and reimbursement for expenses properly incurred prior to the date of termination plus the prorated portion of its fee for an additional period of one month. “Cause” is defined as existing if:
(i) Moss commits a breach of any of the material provisions contained in the Moss Contract;

(iii) Moss becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangements or assignments with its creditors; or

(c) The Corporation may terminate the Moss Contract in any other circumstance on three months’ notice to Moss, provided that if Moss terminated without Cause or voluntarily resigns for “Good Reason” within 90 days following a “Change in Control”, the Corporation is required to pay to Moss an amount equal to twelve months payment of the fee then in effect (the “Control Payment”). “Good Reason” is defined to mean (1) a reduction in the fee, (2) a material reduction in Moss’ responsibilities or duties or (3) a requirement that Moss relocate its residence from its present location. The Moss Contract states that a “Change in Control” will be evidenced by the election or appointment of a majority of new directors of the Corporation or the acquisition by any person or by any person and such person’s associates or related bodies corporate, as such terms are define in the Securities Act (British Columbia), and whether directly or indirectly, of shares of the Corporation which, when added to all other shares of the Corporation at the time held by such person and such person’s associates and related bodies corporate, totals for the first time fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding shares of the Corporation. The Moss Contract further provides that the Corporation is not required to make the Control Payment to Moss if, after a Change in Control, Moss is offered a reasonably equivalent position with the surviving corporation and does not accept such position.

STOCK OPTION PLAN

On April 23, 2021, the Shareholders of the Corporation adopted a new 10% rolling stock option plan (the “ 2021 Stock Option Plan ”). The 2021 Stock Option Plan provides that eligible persons hereunder include any Director, employee (full-time or part-time), officer or consultant of the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof. A consultant means an individual (including an individual whose services are contracted through a personal holding company) with whom the Corporation or a subsidiary has a contract for substantial services. The 2021 Stock Option Plan allows the Corporation to attract new executive officers and Directors by allowing it to offer stock options as inducements to join the Corporation.

Pursuant to the 2021 Stock Option Plan, the options are not be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, the option price to be such price as to be fixed by the 2021 Stock Option Plan’s administrator but shall not be less than the closing price of the Corporation’s Common Shares on the date prior to the date of the grant of the stock options on the principle exchange on which it trades or in accordance with the pricing rules of any other stock exchanges on which the Common Shares of the Corporation may trade in the future and full payment thereof shall be made in cash upon the exercise thereof. The terms of the options may not exceed five (5) years and shall be subject to earlier redemption upon the termination of employment. If an optionee ceases to be an eligible person for any reason whatsoever other than death, each option held by such optionee will cease to be exercisable in a period not exceeding six (6) months following the termination of the optionee’s position with the Corporation but only up to and including the original option expiry date. If an optionee dies, the legal representative of the optionee may exercise the optionee’s options for a period of not exceeding one (1) year after the date of the optionee’s death but only up to and including the original option expiry date. The 2021 Stock Option Plan also contains anti-dilution provisions usual to plans of this type.

The Corporation will not provide any optionee with financial assistance in order to enable such optionee to exercise stock options granted under the 2021 Stock Option Plan. The Corporation has no other compensation plans or arrangements in place and none are currently contemplated.

As of the date of this Circular, there are currently 4,800,000 stock options outstanding under the Stock Option Plan and 12,200,997 options available for grant as follows:

Name and Position	Common Shares Under Option	Exercise Price Range	Expiry Date
Directors	2,900,000	$0.25-$0.45	May 15, 2024 to July 27, 2025

INDEBTEDNESS OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

No officer or Director of the Corporation is indebted to the Corporation for any sum.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

No Management functions of the Corporation are performed to any substantial degree by a person other than the Directors or executive officers of the Corporation.

INTEREST OF INFORMED PERSONS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

No insider of the Corporation, no proposed nominee for election as a Director of the Corporation, and no associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing, has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction since the commencement of the Corporation’s last financial year or in any proposed transaction, which, in either case, has materially affected or will materially affect the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, other than disclosed under the headings “Executive Compensation” and “Stock Option Plan” and as disclosed below.

AUDIT COMMITTEE AND RELATIONSHIP WITH AUDITORS

National Instrument 52-110 of the Canadian Securities Administrators (“ NI 52-110 ”) requires the Corporation, as a Venture Issuer, to disclose annually in its information circular certain information relating to the Corporation’s audit committee and its relationship with the Corporation’s independent auditors.

The Audit Committee’s Charter

The Corporation’s Audit Committee is governed by its Audit Committee Charter, a copy of which is annexed hereto as Schedule “A” .

Composition of the Audit Committee

The Corporation’s Audit Committee currently comprises three (3) Directors, James S. Borland (Chair), Trevor Boyd and Leo Karabelas. As defined in NI 52-110, all members are independent. Also as defined in NI 52-110, all members of the Audit Committee are financially literate.

Audit Committee Oversight

Since the commencement of the Corporation’s two (2) most recently completed fiscal years, the Corporation’s Board of Directors has not failed to adopt a recommendation of the Audit Committee to nominate or compensate an external auditor.

Relevant Education and Experience

The following is a summary of the relevant education and experience of each of the members or proposed members of the Corporation’s Audit Committee:

James S. Borland (Chair) has been involved in the mining industry for more than 25 years.

Trevor Boyd is a professional geologist with over 30 years of experience, holds a Ph.D in geology and has worked with both private and public companies.

Leo Karabelas has more than 14 years of experience in the capital markets industry.

Reliance on Certain Exemptions

Since the effective date of NI 52-110, the Corporation has not relied on the exemptions contained in sections 2.4 or 8 of NI 52-110. Section 2.4 provides an exemption from the requirement that the audit committee must pre-approve all non-audit services to be provided by the auditors, where the total amount of fees related to the non-audit services are not expected to exceed 5% of the total fees payable to the auditors in the fiscal year in which the non-audit

-14-

services were provided. Section 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

The Committee has not adopted specific policies and procedures for the engagement of non-audit services. The Committee will review the engagement of non-audit services as required.

External Auditors Service Fees (By Category)

The fees paid to the Corporation’s external auditors in each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees are as follows:

	Financial Year Ending		Audit Fees		Audit Related Fees(1)		Tax Fees(2)		All Other Fees(3)
	2022		$25,000		Nil		Nil		Nil
	2021		$25,000		Nil		Nil		Nil

Notes:

(1) Fees charged for assurance and related services reasonably related to the performance of an audit, and not included under Audit Fees.

(2) Fees charged for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning services.

(3) Fees for services other than disclosed in any other column.

Exemption

The Corporation is relying upon the exemption in section 6.1 of NI 52-110 for venture issuers which allows for an exemption from Parts 3 (Composition of the Audit Committee) and 5 (Reporting Obligations) of NI 52-110 and allows for the short form of disclosure of audit committee procedures set out in Form 52-110F2.

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 according to guidance provided pursuant to National Policy 58-201 Corporate Governance Guidelines (“ NP 58-201 ”).

The Board believes that good corporate governance improves corporate performance and benefits all Shareholders. The Canadian Securities Administrators (the “ CSA ”) have adopted NP 58-201, which provides non-prescriptive guidelines on corporate governance practices for reporting issuers. In addition, the CSA have implemented NI 58101, which prescribes certain disclosure by reporting issuers of its corporate governance practices. This section sets out the Corporation’s approach to corporate governance and addresses the Corporation’s compliance with NI 58101.

Board of Directors

Directors are considered to be independent if they have no direct or indirect material relationship with the Corporation . 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.

There are currently five (5) members of the Board of Directors. The current independent members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation are James S. Borland, Trevor Boyd, Leo Karabelas and Kai Hoffmann. The current non-independent director is Roger Moss, the Corporation’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

To facilitate the Directors of the Corporation functioning independent of management, where appropriate, during regularly scheduled meetings, non-independent Directors and members of management are excluded from certain discussions. The Board implemented a Board Charter in March 2021 and confirmed in February 2023, which sets out its responsibilities and duties of its members. A copy of the Board Charter of the Corporation is attached hereto as Schedule “B” .

Directorships — No Director of the Corporation or nominee for director of the Corporation is presently a Director of any other issuer that is a reporting issuer (or the equivalent) in a jurisdiction or a foreign jurisdiction except for:

-15-

Director	Name of Reporting Issuer	Market	Positions with Issuer
Leo Karabelas	Smartset Services Inc.	TSXV	Director

Orientation and Continuing Education

When new directors are appointed, they receive orientation, commensurate with their previous experience, on the Corporation’s properties and on director responsibilities.

Board meetings may also include presentations by the Corporation’s management and employees to give the directors additional insight into the Corporation’s business. In addition, management of the Corporation makes itself available to discussions with all Board members.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board is committed to the establishment and maintenance of appropriate ethical standards to underpin the Corporation’s operations and corporate practices. The Corporation’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “ Code ”) was implemented in March 2021 and confirmed in February 2023, which aims to encourage the appropriate standards of conduct and behavior of the Directors, officers, employees and contractors (collectively the “ Corporation Representatives ”) in carrying out their roles for the Corporation. The Corporation Representatives are expected to act with integrity and objectivity, striving at all times to enhance the reputation and performance of the Corporation. The Corporation has also implemented an Insider Trading Policy, which imposes basic trading restrictions on all employees and consultants of the Corporation, and a Whistleblower Policy, which encourages the reporting of any non-compliance with the Code.

All Directors are required to notify fellow Directors of any material personal interest in any matter under the Board’s consideration. Having regard to the nature and extent of such interest, the affected Director may be required to remove himself from discussion and consideration of, and voting on, such matter.

Nomination of Directors

The Board considers its size each year when it considers the number of directors to recommend to the Shareholders for election at the annual meeting of Shareholders, taking into account the number required to carry out the Board’s duties effectively and to maintain a diversity of views and experience.

The Board does not have a nominating committee, and these functions are currently performed by the Board as a whole . However, if there is a change in the number of directors required by the Corporation, this policy will be reviewed.

Compensation

Compensation is determined by the Independent Directors of the Corporation with reference to compensation of officers and directors in similar industries performing similar functions.

Other Board Committees

The Corporation has no other committees aside from the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee provides an open avenue of communication between management, the Corporation’s independent auditors and the Board and to assist the Board in its oversight of:

(a) the integrity, adequacy and timeliness of the Corporation’s financial reporting and disclosure practices;
(b) the Corporation’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements related to financial reporting; and
(c) the independence and performance of the Corporation’s independent auditors.

-16-

The Audit Committee also performs any other activities consistent with the Audit Committee Charter, the Corporation’s Articles and governing laws as the Audit Committee or Board deems necessary or appropriate. See heading “Audit Committee and Relationship with Auditors”.

Assessments

The Board monitors the adequacy of information given to directors, communication between the Board and management, and the strategic direction and processes of the Board and the Audit Committee.

ELECTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors of the Corporation currently consists of five (5) Directors. The Directors have passed a resolution fixing the number of Directors to be elected at five (5). The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote for the election as Directors of each of the five (5) nominees of management whose names are set forth in the table below. The Board of Directors has adopted a majority voting policy in order to promote enhanced Director accountability. Each Shareholder is entitled to cast their votes for, or withhold their votes from, the election of each Director. If the number of shares “withheld” for any nominee exceeds the number of shares voted “for” the nominee, then, notwithstanding that such Director was duly elected as a matter of corporate law, he shall tender his written resignation to the Corporation. The Board will consider such offer of resignation and the Director’s suitability to continue to serve as a Board member after considering, among other things, the stated reasons, if any, why certain shareholders “withheld” votes for the Director, the qualifications of the Director and whether the Director’s resignation from the Board would be in the best interests of the Corporation.

These nominees have consented to being named in this Circular and to serve if elected. The Corporation’s management does not contemplate that any of the nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve as a Director, but if that should occur for any reason prior to the Meeting, the Common Shares represented by properly submitted proxies given in favour of such nominee(s) may be voted by the persons whose names are printed in the form of proxy, in their discretion, in favour of another nominee.

The following table and notes thereto state the names of all the persons proposed to be nominated for election as Directors, all of the positions and offices with the Corporation now held by them, their present principal occupations or employments for the last five (5) years and the number of shares of the Corporation beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or over which control or direction is exercised, by each of them as of February 21, 2023. The information as to shares beneficially owned has been furnished to the Board of Directors by the respective nominees.

To the best of the Corporation’s knowledge and other than as disclosed herein, there are no existing or potential conflicts of interest among the Corporation, its promoters, Directors, officers or other members of management of the Corporation except that certain of the Directors, officers, promoters and other members of management serve as Directors, officers, promoters and members of management of other public companies and therefore it is possible that a conflict may arise between their duties as a Director, officer, promoter or member of management of such other companies and their duties as a Director, officer, promoter or management of the Corporation.

The Directors and officers of the Corporation are aware of the existence of laws governing accountability of Directors and officers for corporate opportunity and requiring disclosure by Directors of conflicts of interest and the Corporation will rely upon such laws in respect of any Directors’ and officers’ conflicts of interest or in respect of any breaches of duty by any of its Directors and officers.

APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR S

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote for the appointment of DeVisser Gray LLP, of Vancouver, British Columbia, as auditors of the Corporation to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and to authorize the Directors of the Corporation to fix the auditors’ remuneration.

On the representations of the said auditors, neither that firm nor any of its partners has any direct financial interest nor any material indirect financial interest in the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries nor has had any connection during the past three years with the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries in the capacity of promoter, underwriter, voting trustee, Director, officer or employee.

In the absence of contrary directions, the Management Designees intend to vote proxies in the accompanying form in favour of the appointment of DeVisser Gray LLP, as the Corporation’s auditors, and authorizing the Board of Directors to fix their remuneration.

The shareholders are urged by Management to appoint DeVisser Gray LLP, as the Corporation’s auditors, and to authorize the Board of Directors to fix their remuneration.

RATIFICATION OF THE STOCK OPTION PLAN

The Corporation received shareholder approval on April 23, 2021 to adopt the 2021 Stock Option Plan (the “ 2021 Plan ”) which plan is a “rolling” stock option plan whereby a maximum of 10% of the issued shares of the Corporation, from time to time, may be reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of options.

The TSX-V requires listed companies that have “rolling” stock option plans in place to receive shareholder approval of such plans on a yearly basis at the Corporation’s Annual General Meeting. Accordingly, Shareholders will be

-19-

asked at the Meeting to ratify the 2021 Plan. For particulars of the 2021 Stock Option Plan, see heading “Stock Option Plan” on page 12.

It is proposed that shareholders approve the following ordinary resolution:

“ BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

the Corporation’s 2021 Stock Option Plan is hereby ratified; and
any one director or officer of the Corporation be and he is hereby authorized and directed to do all such acts and things and to execute and deliver under the corporate seal or otherwise all such deeds, documents, instruments and assurances as in his opinion may be necessary or desirable to give effect to this resolution.”

In the absence of contrary directions, the Management Designees intend to vote proxies in the accompanying form in favour of ratification of the 2021 Stock Option Plan.

Management urges shareholders to approve the ratification of the 2021 Stock Option Plan.

ADOPTION OF THE 2023 STOCK OPTION PLAN

Management of the Corporation is seeking shareholder approval to replace the 2021 Plan by adopting the new 2023 Stock Option Plan. The changes to the 2021 Plan are administrative in nature resulting from changes to the TSX-V Policy 4.4 – Security Based Compensation implemented in November 2021 (the “ November 2021 Policy ”). Attached as Schedule “C” to this Circular is the proposed 2023 Stock Option Plan (the “ 2023 Plan ”) and attached as Schedule “D” to this Circular is a black-line of the changes to the 2021 Plan. Although the changes made to the 2021 Plan were made to comply with the November 2021 Policy and do not reflect any substantive changes to the plan, the TSX-V has requested that the Corporation seek shareholder approval for the implementation of the changes as reflected in the 2023 Plan. The adoption of the 2023 Plan requires approval by a simple majority of shareholders voting at the Meeting. All shareholders are eligible to vote on the adoption of the 2023 Plan.

It is proposed that shareholders approve the following ordinary resolution:

“ BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

the Corporation’s 2023 Stock Option Plan, a copy of which is annexed to the Circular as Schedule “C” , is hereby approved; and
any one director or officer of the Corporation be and he is hereby authorized and directed to do all such acts and things and to execute and deliver under the corporate seal or otherwise all such deeds, documents, instruments and assurances as in his opinion may be necessary or desirable to give effect to this resolution.”

Management urges shareholders to approve the adoption of the 2023 Plan.

SCHEDULE “A”

to Information Circular of Labrador Gold Corp. dated February 21, 2023

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

Purpose of the Audit Committee

The purpose of the Audit Committee (the “ Committee ”) of the Board of Directors (the “ Board ”) of the Corporation is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibility for the oversight of the financial reporting process. The purpose of this Charter is to ensure that the Corporation maintains a strong, effective and independent audit committee, to enhance the quality of financial disclosure made by the Corporation and to foster increased investor confidence in both the Corporation and Canada’s capital markets. It is the intention of the Board that through the involvement of the Committee, the external audit will be conducted independently of the Corporation’s management to ensure that the independent auditors serve the interests of shareholders rather than the interests of management of the Corporation. The Committee’s primary duties and responsibilities are to:

identify and monitor the management of the principal risks that could affect the reliability of financial reporting;
monitor the integrity of the Corporation’s financial reporting process and system of internal control over financial reporting and accounting compliance;
be directly responsible for overseeing the work of the external auditor including monitoring the independence and performance of the external auditor;
be directly responsible for overseeing the internal review processes;
monitor the Corporation’s compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements affecting financial reporting; and
provide an avenue for effective communication among the audit committee, external auditor, management and the Board.

The Committee has the authority to conduct any investigation appropriate to fulfilling its responsibilities, and it has direct access to the external auditor as well as anyone in the Corporation. The Committee has the authority to retain, at the Corporation’s expense, special legal, accounting, or other consultants or experts it deems necessary in the performance of its duties.

Composition of the Audit Committee

The Committee shall consist of at least three (3) directors appointed by the Board as provided for in the by-laws of the Corporation and may be removed by the Board in its discretion. Each member of the Committee must be an independent director and must be financially literate or become financially literate within a reasonable time after his or her appointment to the Committee. At least one (1) member of the Committee shall have accounting or related financial management expertise. The Committee shall establish procedures for quorum, notice and timing of meetings subject to the proviso that a quorum shall be no less than two (2) Committee members. While the Board may recommend a Chair for the Committee, the Committee shall have the discretion to appoint the Chair from amongst its members.

The Canadian Securities Administrators (“ CSA ”) state that an audit committee member is independent if he or she has no direct or indirect material relationship with the issuer; that is, a relationship that could, in the view of the Board, reasonably interfere with the exercise of the member’s independent judgment. The CSA notes that these

A-2

relationships may include commercial, charitable, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting or familial relationships. The regulations also include a list of situations that are defined to be material relationships.

The Board shall determine, in its business judgment, whether an individual is financially literate based upon the regulatory definition of financial literacy, meaning 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 Corporation’s financial statements. It is the view of the regulators that it is not necessary for a member to have a comprehensive knowledge of generally accepted accounting principles and generally accepted auditing standards to be considered financially literate.

Disclosure must be made in the Corporation’s Information Circular (“ IC ”) for its annual meeting or in the Corporation’s Annual Information Form (“ AIF ”), if applicable, of the name of each Committee member and whether or not the member is independent and financially literate. It should also describe the education and experience of each member that is relevant to his or her responsibilities as a Committee member. If a member is not independent, the Corporation must explain why.

Meetings of the Audit Committee

The Committee shall meet at least four times annually, corresponding with the Corporation’s financial reporting cycle, or more frequently as circumstances dictate. The Committee Chair will prepare an agenda in advance of each meeting. The Secretary will circulate the agenda and supporting materials sufficiently in advance of the meeting to allow members an appropriate period of time to prepare for the meeting. The Committee will generally invite members of management and the external auditor to attend each meeting. The Committee shall meet privately at least annually with management and the external auditor to discuss any matters that the Committee or each of these groups believes should be discussed. In addition, the Committee may consider in camera sessions at the beginning and/or conclusion of each meeting to discuss privately any matters of interest or concern to the members.

Responsibilities and Duties of the Audit Committee

Management is responsible for adopting and applying sound accounting principles; for designing, implementing and maintaining effective processes related to internal control over financial reporting; and for preparing the annual and interim financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis (“ MD&A ”) and other continuous disclosure documents. The external auditor is responsible for conducting an independent audit and for forming an opinion on the annual financial statements. The Committee is responsible for overseeing these financial reporting processes.

Committee members should conduct themselves in an informed, vigilant and effective manner.

Members of the Committee should rely on information furnished to them by others only if they believe it to be reliable for the purpose of making their decisions. They should act in accordance with their own knowledge and training.

The Committee shall be responsible for the following specific matters:

(l) Receive and review reports from other Board committees with regard to matters that could affect financial reporting.
(m) Oversee the resolution of disagreements between management and the external auditor regarding financial reporting.
(n) Discuss with the external auditor the quality and not just the acceptability of the Corporation’s accounting principles.
(o) Regularly review with the external auditor any audit problems or difficulties and management’s response.

ii whether there are safeguards in place to help ensure that there is no threat to the external auditor’s objectivity and independence in the conduct of the audit resulting from providing such services; and

SCHEDULE “B”

to Information Circular of Labrador Gold Corp. dated February 21, 2023

BOARD CHARTER

The Board of Directors (the “ Board ”) of Labrador Gold Corp. (the “ Corporation ”) is responsible for the stewardship of the business and affairs of the Corporation on behalf of the shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable.

The Board shall be constituted with at least two (2) individuals who are independent directors in accordance with the requirements for a Venture Issuer. Directors are considered to be independent if they have no direct or indirect material relationship with the Corporation. A “material relationship” is a relationship which could, in the view of the Corporation’s Board of Directors, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgment.

The Board may appoint one director as Chairman. If appointed, the Chairman shall be an independent director. If appointed, the Chairman will be responsible for the leadership of the Board and for specific functions to ensure the independence of the Board.

The Senior Officers are accountable to the Board for all authority delegated to the positions. For the purposes of these Corporate Governance Policies, Senior Officer shall be defined as any person holding the position of President, CEO, CFO, COO or Vice President of Exploration.

The Board has the following overall responsibilities:

in conjunction with management, establishing the direction and strategies for the Corporation and monitoring the implementation of those strategies; and
monitoring compliance with regulatory requirements and setting the tone for ethical behaviour and standards.

The monitoring and ultimate control of the business of the Corporation is vested in the Board. The Board’s primary responsibility is to oversee the Corporation’s business activities and management for the benefit of the Corporation and its shareholders. The specific responsibilities of the Board include:

selection, appointment, monitoring, evaluation, rewarding and if necessary the removal of the Senior Officers of the Corporation;
in conjunction with management, development of the strategic planning process and approving and appropriately monitoring plans, new investments, major capital and operating expenditures, capital management, acquisitions, divestitures and major funding activities;
monitor and review annually the success of management in implementing the approved strategies and plans;
establishing appropriate levels of delegation to the Senior Officers to allow them to manage the Corporation’s operations efficiently;
monitoring actual performance against planned performance expectations and reviewing operating information;

B-2

appreciation of areas of significant business risk and ensuring arrangements are in place to adequately manage those risks;
overseeing the management of safety and occupational health, environmental issues and community development;
satisfying itself that the financial statements of the Corporation fairly and accurately set out the financial position and financial performance of the Corporation for the period under review;
satisfying itself that there are appropriate reporting systems and controls in place to assure the Board that proper operational, financial, compliance, risk management and internal control processes are in place and functioning appropriately;
ensuring that appropriate external audit arrangements are in place and operating effectively;
developing the Corporation’s approach to corporate governance issues;
having a framework in place to help ensure that the Corporation acts legally and responsibly on all matters consistent with the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and
reporting to shareholders.

At all times the Board retains full responsibility for guiding and monitoring the Corporation; however, in discharging its stewardship the Board has established the Audit Committee. The Board is of the view that with a majority of independent directors, no other committees are required at this time.

The Corporation also has in place a Disclosure Committee comprised of the Chief Executive Officer and the Corporate Secretary.

Each director has the right to seek independent professional advice on matters relating to his position as a director of the Corporation at the Corporation’s expense, subject to the prior approval of the Chairman, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The independent members of the Board shall meet regularly during the year without any member of the Corporation’s management present. Generally these meetings will be held prior to regular Board meetings. Any material business items arising from these meetings shall be brought to the attention of the Corporate Secretary and such matters will be added to the agenda of the next regularly scheduled Board meeting.

In the event of a conflict of interest or where a potential conflict of interest may arise, involved directors will, unless the remaining directors resolve otherwise, withdraw from deliberations concerning the matter.

The Board does not specify a maximum term for which a director may hold office.

The responsibility for the day-to-day operation and administration of the Corporation is delegated by the Board to the Senior Officers. The Board ensures that this team is appropriately qualified and experienced to discharge their responsibilities and has in place procedures to assess the performance of the Senior Officers.

The Company must obtain disinterested Shareholder approval (exclusive of any votes of Insiders and Associates and Affiliates (as those terms are defined in the TSXV Policies) of such Insiders) of any decrease in the exercise price of or extensions to any stock options granted to individuals that are Insiders at the time of the proposed amendment.

(c) Payment: The full purchase price of shares purchased under the Option shall be paid in cash upon the exercise thereof. A holder of an Option shall have none of the rights of a stockholder until the shares are issued to him. All common shares issued pursuant to the exercise of Options granted or deemed to be granted under the Plan, will be so issued as fully paid and nonassessable common shares. No Optionee or his legal representatives, legatees or distributees will be, or will be deemed to be, a holder of any common shares subject to an Option under this Plan, unless and until certificates for such common shares are issued to him or them under the terms of the Plan.

(d) Term of Options: Options may be granted under this Plan exercisable over a period not exceeding five (5) years. Each Option shall be subject to earlier termination as provided in subparagraph (f) below and paragraphs 7 and 8.

An Option may be exercised in full or in part during any year of the term of the Option as provided in the written Stock Option Agreement; provided however that except as expressly otherwise provided herein or as provided in any valid Stock Option Agreement approved by the Administrator, no Option may be exercised unless that Optionee is then a director, officer, consultant and/or in the employ of the Company.

any affiliate of the Company.

(iv) twelve (12) months after termination of the Optionee's employment by permanent disability or retirement under any Retirement Plan of the Company during which twelve (12) month period the Optionee may exercise the Option to the extent he was entitled to exercise it at the time of such termination provided that if the Optionee shall die within such twelve (12) month period, then such right shall be extended to one (1) year following the death of the Optionee and shall be exercisable only by the persons described in subparagraph (f)(iii) hereof and only to the extent therein set forth.

(g) Non-transferability of Options: No Option shall be transferable or assignable by the Optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during his lifetime only by him.

(h) Applicable Laws or Regulations: The Company's obligation to sell and deliver stock under each Option is subject to such compliance by the Company and any Optionee as the Company deems necessary or advisable with all laws, rules and regulations of Canada and the United States of America and any Provinces and/or States thereof applying to the authorization, issuance, listing or sale of securities and is also subject to the acceptance for listing of the common shares which may be issued in exercise thereof by each stock exchange upon which shares of the Company are listed for trading.

(i) Vesting: Options granted pursuant hereto may vest over any period determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion (subject to the provisions of paragraph 5(a)).

6. ADJUSTMENT IN EVENT OF CHANGE IN STOCK: Each Option shall contain uniform provisions in such form as may be approved by the Administrator to appropriately adjust the number and kind of shares covered by the Option and the exercise price of shares subject to the Option in the event of a declaration of stock dividends, or stock subdivisions or consolidations or reconstruction or reorganization or recapitalization of the Company or other relevant changes in the Company's capitalization (other than issuance of additional shares) to prevent substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to the Optionee by such Option. Any adjustments, other than in connection with a stock subdivision or consolidation, shall be subject to the prior acceptance of the TSXV, including adjustments relating to an amalgamation, merger, arrangement, reorganization spin-off, dividend or recapitalization. The number of common shares available for Options, the common shares subject to any Option, and the Option Price thereof shall be adjusted appropriately by the Administrator and such adjustment shall be effective and binding for all purposes of the Plan.

7. ACCELERATION OF EXPIRY DATES : Upon the announcement or contemplation of any event, including a reorganization, acquisition, amalgamation or merger (or a plan of arrangement in connection with any of the foregoing), other than solely involving the Company and one or more of its affiliates (as such term is defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)), with respect to which all or substantially all of the persons who were the beneficial owners of the common shares, immediately prior to such reorganization, amalgamation, merger or plan of arrangement do not, following such reorganization, amalgamation, merger or plan of arrangement, beneficially own, directly or indirectly more than 50% of the resulting voting shares on a fully-diluted basis (for greater certainty, this shall not include a public offering or private placement out of treasury) or the sale to a person other than an affiliate of the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (collectively, a “ Change of Control ”), the Company shall have the discretion, without the need for the agreement of any Optionee, to accelerate the Expiry Dates and/or any applicable vesting provisions of all Options, as it shall see fit. The Company may accelerate one or more Optionee’s Expiry Dates and/or vesting requirements without accelerating the Expiry Dates and/or vesting requirements of all Options and may accelerate the Expiry Date and/or vesting requirements of only a portion of an Optionee’s Options. An acceleration of the Expiry Date of persons providing investor relations activities shall remain subject to the provisions of paragraph 5 (a).

8. AMALGAMATION, CONSOLIDATION OR MERGER: In the event that the Company is a consenting party to a Change of Control, outstanding Options shall be subject to the agreement effecting such Change of Control and Optionees shall be bound by such Change of Control agreement. Such agreement, without the Optionees’ consent, may provide for:

(a) the continuation of such outstanding Options by the Company (if the Company is the surviving or acquiring corporation);
(b) the assumption of the Plan and such outstanding Options by the surviving entity; or
(c) the substitution or replacement by the surviving or acquiring corporation or its parent of options with substantially the same terms for such outstanding Options.
6 -

The Company may provide in any agreement with respect to any such Change of Control that the surviving, new or acquiring corporation shall grant options to the Optionees to acquire shares in such corporation or its parent with respect to which the excess of the fair market value of the shares of such corporation immediately after the consummation of such Change of Control over the exercise price therefore shall not be less than the excess of the value of the common shares over the Exercise Price of the Options immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control.

9. APPROVALS: The obligation of the Company to issue and deliver the common shares in accordance with the Plan is subject to any approvals which may be required from any regulatory authority or stock exchange having jurisdiction over the securities of the Company. If any common shares cannot be issued to any Optionee for whatever reason, the obligation of the Company to issue such common shares shall terminate and any Option exercise price paid to the Company will be returned to the Optionee.

10. STOCK EXCHANGE RULES: The rules of any stock exchange upon which the Company’s common shares are listed shall be applicable relative to Options granted to Optionees.

11. AMENDMENT AND DISCONTINUANCE OF PLAN: Subject to regulatory approval, the Board of Directors may from time to time amend or revise the terms of the Plan or may discontinue the Plan at any time provided however that no such right may, without the consent of the Optionee, in any manner adversely affect the rights of the Optionee under any Option theretofore granted under the Plan.

12. EXTENSION OF EXPIRY DATE DURING BLACKOUT PERIOD: The expiry date of an Option will be extended automatically without shareholder approval where such expiry date occurs within a Blackout Period and the new expiry date shall be the 10th Business Day following the end of the relevant Blackout Period. For greater clarity, any Option that has an expiry date that occurs within ten (10) Business Days from the end of a Blackout Period shall not be extended and shall expire if unexercised by the original expiry date. For the purposes of the Plan “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day that is treated as a holiday at the Company’s principal executive offices in Canada. For the purposes of the Plan “Blackout Period” means any period during which a policy of the Company prevents Optionees of the Company from trading in securities of the Company, including the exercise of the Options. The Blackout Period must be formally imposed by the Company pursuant to its internal trading policies as a result of the bona fide existence of undisclosed Material Information. The Blackout Period must expire upon the general disclosure of the undisclosed Material Information or upon such Material Information ceasing to be material or applicable.

13. EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION OF PLAN: The Plan shall remain in full force and effect from the date of shareholder approval hereof and from year to year thereafter until amended or terminated in accordance with Paragraph 11 hereof and for so long thereafter as Options remain outstanding in favour of any Optionee.

14. REPLACEMENT OF PREVIOUS PLAN: This Plan replaces and supersedes the 2021 Plan.
