INFORMATION CIRCULAR

as at June 2, 2022 (except as otherwise indicated)

This Information Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of JAYDEN RESOURCES INC. for use at the annual general meeting (the “Meeting”) of its shareholders to be held on July 7, 2022 at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice of the Meeting.

In this Information Circular, references to “the Company”, “we” and “our” refer to JAYDEN RESOURCES INC. “Common Shares or Shares” means the ordinary shares in the share capital of the Company as defined in the Company’s Articles of Association. “Beneficial Shareholders” means shareholders who do not hold Common Shares in their own name and “intermediaries” refers to brokers, investment firms, clearing houses and similar entities that own securities 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 directors, officers and regular employees of the Company. The Company will bear all costs of this solicitation. We have arranged for intermediaries to forward the meeting materials to beneficial owners of the Common Shares held of record by those intermediaries 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 a Director and/or Officer of the Company. 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 shares are held in physical (i.e. paper) form and actually registered in your name, then you are a registered shareholder. However, if like most shareholders you keep your shares in a brokerage account, then you are a beneficial shareholder and the manner for voting is different for registered and beneficial shareholders, so you need to carefully read the instructions below.

Voting by Proxyholder

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

(a) each matter or group of matters identified therein for which a choice is not specified;
(b) any amendment to or variation of any matter identified therein; and
(c) any other matter that properly comes before the Meeting.

In respect of a matter for which a choice is not specified in the Proxy, the persons named in the Proxy will vote the Common Shares represented by the Proxy, as recommended by Management.

Registered Shareholders

Registered Shareholders may wish to vote by proxy whether or not they are able to attend the Meeting in person. Registered Shareholders may choose to submit a proxy may do so using one of the following methods:

(a) complete, date and sign the enclosed form of proxy and return it to the Company’s transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada (“Computershare”), by fax within North America at 1-866-249-7775, outside North America at (416) 263-9524, or by mail or by hand delivery to the 9[th] Floor, 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5J 2Y1 or by mail or by hand delivery at[3rd] Floor, 510 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 3B9;
(b) use a touch-tone phone to transmit voting choices to a toll free number. Registered shareholders must follow the instructions of the voice response system and refer to the enclosed proxy form for the toll free number, the holder’s account number and the proxy access number; or
(c) use the internet through Computershare’s website at www.investorvote.com. Registered Shareholders must follow the instructions that appear on the screen and refer to the enclosed proxy form for the holder’s account number and the proxy access number.

In any case the Registered Shareholder must ensure the proxy is received at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays) before the Meeting, or the adjournment thereof, at which the proxy is to be used.

Beneficial Shareholders

The following information is of significant importance to shareholders who do not hold Common Shares in their own name. Beneficial Shareholders should note that the only proxies that can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting are those deposited by registered shareholders (those whose names appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of Common Shares) or as set out in the following disclosure.

If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those Common Shares will not be registered in the shareholder’s name on the records of the Company. Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the names of the shareholder’s broker or an agent of that broker (an “intermediary”). The vast majority of such Common Shares are registered in Canada, 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 in advance of meetings of shareholders. Every intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients.

There are two kinds of Beneficial Shareholders: Objecting Beneficial Owners (“OBOs”) who object to their name being made known to the issuers of securities they own; and Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners (“NOBOs”) who do not object to the issuers of the securities they own knowing who they are.

The Company is taking advantage of provisions in National Instrument 54-101 “ Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer ” permitting it to deliver proxy-related materials to its NOBOs. As a result NOBOs can expect to receive a scannable Voting Instruction Form (“VIF”) from our transfer agent, Computershare. The VIF is to be completed and returned to Computershare in accordance with the complete instructions set out on the VIF and in the Information Circular. Computershare will tabulate the results of the VIFs received from NOBOs and will provide appropriate instructions at the Meeting with respect to the shares represented by the VIFs they receive.

These shareholder materials are sent to both registered and non-registered owners of the securities of the Company. If you are a non-registered owner, and the Company or its agent sent these materials 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 securities on your behalf.

By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Company (and not the intermediary holding securities on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your VIF as specified in the request for voting instructions sent to you.

Beneficial Shareholders who are OBOs should follow the instructions of their intermediary carefully to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the Meeting.

The form of proxy supplied to you by your broker 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 brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) in Canada and in the United States. Broadridge mails a VIF in lieu of a proxy provided by the Company. The VIF will name 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 of the Company), different from those persons designated in the VIF, to represent you at the Meeting. To exercise this right, insert the name of the desired representative in the blank space provided in the VIF. The completed VIF must then be returned to Broadridge in accordance with the instructions set out in the VIF and this Information Circular. Once it has received all proxies sent in, Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares to be represented at the Meeting. If you receive a VIF from Broadridge, it must be completed and returned to Broadridge, in accordance with its instructions, well in advance of the Meeting in order to: (a) have your Common Shares voted as per your instructions, or (b) to have any alternate representative chosen by you duly appointed to attend and vote your Common Shares at the Meeting.

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

Notice to Shareholders in the United States

The solicitation of proxies involves securities of an issuer located in Canada and is being effected in accordance in accordance with the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “ BCBCA ”) and Canadian provincial securities laws. The proxy solicitation rules under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are not applicable to the Company or this solicitation, and this Information Circular has been prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of applicable Canadian provincial securities laws of the provinces of Canada. Shareholders should be aware that disclosure requirements under the securities laws which differ from the disclosure requirements of United States securities laws.

The enforcement by Shareholders of civil liabilities under United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Company is a company continued under the BCBCA, certain or all of its directors and its executive officers are residents of Canada and a substantial portion of its assets and the assets of such persons are located outside the United States. Shareholders may not be able to sue a foreign company or its officers or directors in a foreign court for violations of United States federal securities laws. It may be difficult to compel a foreign company and its officers and directors to subject themselves to a judgment by a United States court.

Revocation of Proxies

In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a registered shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it by:

(a) executing a proxy bearing a later date or by executing a valid notice of revocation, either of the foregoing to be executed by the registered shareholder or the registered shareholder’s authorized attorney in writing, or, if the shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal by an officer or attorney duly authorized, and by delivering the proxy bearing a later date to Computershare by fax within North America at 1-866-249-7775, outside North America at (416) 263-9524, or by mail or by hand delivery at 9[th] Floor, 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5J 2Y1, or by mail or by hand delivery at 3[rd] Floor, 510 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 3B9, or to the Company’s business office located at Suite 2250, 1055 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia Canada, V6E 2E9, at any time up to and including the last business day that precedes the day of the Meeting or, if the Meeting is adjourned, the last business day that precedes any reconvening
4 -

thereof, or to the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any reconvening thereof, or in any other manner provided by law; or

VOTES NECESSARY TO PASS RESOLUTIONS

A simple majority of affirmative votes cast at the Meeting is required to pass the resolutions described herein.

If there are more nominees for election as directors or appointment of the Company’s 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 or appointed by acclamation.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Number of Directors

The size of the Board of the Company is currently determined at three (3) directors. The Board has proposed for election three (3) directors. Shareholders will be asked at the Meeting to approve an ordinary resolution to fix the number of directors to be elected to the Board at three (3).

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to vote on the following ordinary resolution:

“BE IT RESOLVED that the number of directors for election at this Meeting be fixed at three (3).”

Management recommends the Shareholders approve the resolution to fix the number of directors of the Company at three (3). Unless otherwise indicated on the form of Proxy received by the Company, the persons designated as proxy holders in the accompanying form of proxy will vote the Common Shares represented by such form of proxy, properly executed, in favour of the resolution to fix the number of directors of the Company at three (3).

The term of office of each of the current directors will end at the conclusion of the Meeting. Unless the director’s office is vacated earlier in accordance with the provisions of the Business Corporations Act ( British Columbia), each director elected at the Meeting will hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, or if no director is then elected, until a successor is elected.

Advance Notice Provision

The Company’s Articles contain advance notice provisions (the “ Advance Notice Provision ”). The Advance Notice Provision provides for advance notice to the Company in circumstances where nominations of persons for election to the Board are made by shareholders of the Company other than pursuant to: (i) a requisition of a meeting made pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia); or (ii) a shareholder proposal made pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).

The purpose of the Advance Notice Provision is to foster a variety of interests of the shareholders and the Company by ensuring that all shareholders - including those participating in a meeting by proxy rather than in person - receive adequate notice of the nominations to be considered at a meeting and can thereby exercise their voting rights in an informed manner. Among other things, the Advance Notice Provision fixes a deadline by which holders of Common Shares must submit director nominations to the Company prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders and sets forth the minimum information that a shareholder must include in the notice to the Company for the notice to be in proper written form.

The Advance Notice Provision also requires all proposed director nominees to deliver a written representation and agreement that such candidate for nomination, if elected as a director of the Company, will comply with all applicable corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality, share ownership, majority voting and insider trading policies and other policies and guidelines of the Company applicable to directors and in effect during such person’s term in office as a director.

The foregoing is merely a summary of the Advance Notice Provision, is not comprehensive and is qualified by the full text of such provision to the Company’s Articles, which is available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

The following table sets out the names of management’s nominees for election as directors, all major offices and positions with the Company and any of its significant affiliates each now holds, each nominee’s principal occupation, business or employment for the five preceding years for new director nominees, the period of time during which each has been a director of the Company and the number of Common Shares of the Company beneficially owned by each, directly or indirectly, or over which each exercised control or direction, as at June 2, 2022.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

General

Corporate governance refers to the policies and structure of the board of directors of a company, whose members are elected by and are accountable to the shareholders of the company. Corporate governance encourages establishing a reasonable degree of independence of the board of directors from executive management and the adoption of policies to ensure the board of directors recognizes the principles of good

management. The Board of the Company is committed to sound corporate governance practices as such practices are both in the interests of shareholders and help to contribute to effective and efficient decisionmaking.

The Company's Board currently consists of three Directors, two of whom are independent based upon the tests for independence set forth in NI 52-110. Denise Lok and Queenie Kuang are independent. David Eaton is not independent as he is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Management Supervision by Board of Directors

The size of the Company is such that all the Company's operations are conducted by a small management team which is also represented on the Board.

STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION – Venture Issuers

Named Executive Officer

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

Director and Named Executive Officer Compensation

David Eaton, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Herrick Lau, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary, are each a Named Executive Officer (“NEO”) of the Company for the purposes of the following disclosure and current directors, Denise Lok and Queenie Kuang who were directors of the Company at financial year ended December 31, 2021 for the purposes of the following disclosure.

Oversight and Description of Director and NEO Compensation

The Board as a whole assumes responsibility for reviewing and monitoring compensation for the Company’s senior management, and as part of that mandate determines the compensation of the Company’s CEO and CFO. The Board wishes to provide information about the Company’s executive compensation objectives and processes and to discuss compensation decisions relating to its NEOs and directors listed in the compensation tables that follow.

Bonus

Bonuses are performance based on short-term financial incentives and will be paid based on certain indicators such as personal performance, team performance and/or Company financial performance. Bonus levels will be determined by the level of position of the executive officer with the Company.

The Board will consider whether it is appropriate and in the best interests of the Company to award a discretionary cash bonus to the NEOs and if so, in what amount. A cash bonus may be awarded to reward extraordinary performance that has led to increased value for shareholders through property acquisitions or divestitures, the formation of new strategic or joint venture relationships, capital raising efforts or achieving satisfaction of predetermined and agreed upon performance criteria. Demonstrations of extraordinary personal

11 -

commitment to the Company’s interests, the community and the industry may also be rewarded through a cash bonus.

Because of market conditions, bonuses were not paid to the NEOs for their services in the most recently completed financial year.

The Board has not formally considered the risks associated with the Company’s compensation policies and practices. The Company’s compensation policies and practices give greater weight toward long-term incentives to mitigate the risk of encouraging short term goals at the expense of long term sustainability.

The Company does not have a formal policy prohibiting an NEO or director from purchasing financial instruments that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation and held, directly or indirectly, by the NEO or director. However, there is an understanding that the Company’s NEOs and directors will not purchase such financial instruments, and no NEO or director has purchased any such financial instruments as at the date of this Information Circular.

Compensation of Board Members and Named Executive Officers

The Company does not have in place a Compensation Committee. All tasks related to developing and monitoring the Company’s approach to the compensation of executive members are performed by the members of the Board.

The Company does not have in place a Nominating Committee. All tasks related to developing and monitoring the Company’s approach to the nomination of directors to the Board are performed by the members of the Board. The compensation of the NEO’s and the Company’s employees are reviewed, recommended and approved by the Board.

The components of the directors’ and executive officers’ compensation are the same as those that apply to the NEOs, namely annual base salary, incentive stock options and bonus. The general compensation philosophy of the Company for directors and executive officers is to provide a level of compensation that is competitive within the North American marketplace and that will attract and retain individuals with the experience and qualifications necessary for the Company to be successful, and to provide long-term incentive compensation which aligns the interest of executives with those of the shareholders and provide long-term incentives to members of senior management whose actions have a direct and identifiable impact on the performance of the Company and who have had a material responsibility for long-range strategy development and implementation.

Executive Compensation-Related Fees

No consultant or advisor has, at any time since the Company’s most recently completed financial year, been retained to assist the Board in determining compensation for any of the Company’s directors or executive officers. Fees were not paid by the Company to any consultant or advisor, or any of its affiliates, for services related to determining compensation for any of the Company’s directors and executive officers, for each of the two most recently completed financial years of the Company.

Compensation Review Process

Risks Associated with the Company’s Compensation Practices

The Board has assessed the Company’s compensation plans and programs for its executive officers to ensure alignment with the Company’s business plan and to evaluate the potential risks associated with those plans and programs. The Board has concluded that the compensation policies and practices do not create any risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Board considers the risks associated with executive compensation and corporate incentive plans when designing and reviewing such plans and programs.

The Company has not adopted a policy restricting its executive officers or directors from purchasing financial instruments that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by its executive officers or directors. To the knowledge of the Company, none of the executive officers or directors have purchased such financial instruments.

Base Salary or Consulting Fees

Base salary ranges for the executive officers were initially determined upon a review of companies within the mining industry, which were of the same size as the Company, at the same stage of development as the Company and considered comparable to the Company.

In determining the base salary of an executive officer, the Board considers the following factors:

(a) the particular responsibilities related to the position;
(b) salaries paid by other companies in the mining industry which were similar in size as the Company;
(c) the experience level of the executive officer;
(d) the amount of time and commitment which the executive officer devotes to the Company; and
(e) the executive officer’s overall performance and performance in relation to the achievement of corporate milestones and objectives.

In order to comply with the New Policy 4.4.

- Board Adoption New Share Option Plan (Option Based Awards)

On May 2, 2022, the Board adopted a new share option plan (the “ New Option Plan ”). The New Option Plan will govern option grants made after the date of the adoption of the New Option Plan. Grants made under the 2015 Stock Option Plan will be deemed to have been made under the New Option Plan and will be governed by the New Option Plan after the date the New Option Plan is ratified by the shareholders at the Meeting.

The New Option Plan is also a rolling share option plan pursuant to which up to 10% of the outstanding shares may be reserved for issue from time to time, less the number of shares reserved for issue under any other share compensation arrangement.

The New Option Plan has been conditionally approved by the TSX Venture Exchange, subject to receipt of shareholder approval at the Meeting.

The material terms of the New Option Plan are as follows:

(a) Persons who are Service Providers, being a bona fide Director, Officer, Employee, Management Company Employee, Consultant or Consultant Company, and also includes a company, 100% of the share capital of which is beneficially owned by one or more Service Providers are eligible to receive grants of Options under the New Option Plan;

(B) the maximum number of Common Shares that may be issued to insiders collectively under the New Option Plan, together with any other security based compensation arrangements, within a twelve (12) month period, may not exceed 10% of the issued Common Shares calculated on the date of grant; and
(C) the maximum number of Common Shares that may be issued to insiders collectively under the New Option Plan, together with any other security based compensation arrangements, may not exceed 10% of the issued Common Shares at any time.
15 -

For so long as such limitation is required by the TSX Venture, the maximum number of Options which may be granted within any twelve (12) month period to the New Option Plan Participants who perform investor relations activities must not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, and such Options must vest in stages over twelve (12) months with no more than 25% vesting in any three month period. In addition, the maximum number of Common Shares that may be granted to any one consultant under the New Option Plan, together with any other security based compensation arrangements, within a twelve (12) month period, may not exceed 2% of the issued Common Shares calculated on the date of grant.

Investor Relations Service Providers cannot receive any security based compensation other than Options.

(a) the Exercise Price of an Option will be set by the Board at the time such Option is allocated under the New Option Plan, and cannot be less than the Discounted Market Price;
(b) the term of an Option will be set by the Board at the time such Option is allocated under the New Option Plan. An Option can be exercisable for a maximum of 10 years from the Effective Date;
(c) Vesting of Options shall be at the discretion of the Board and, with respect to any particular Options granted under the New Option Plan, in the absence of a vesting schedule being specified at the time of grant, all such Options shall vest immediately. Where applicable, vesting of Options will generally be subject to:
(a) the Service Provider remaining employed by or continuing to provide services to the Company or any of its Affiliates as well as, at the discretion of the Board, achieving certain milestones which may be defined by the Board from time to time or receiving a satisfactory performance review by the Company or any of its Affiliates during the vesting period; or
(b) the Service Provider remaining as a Director of the Company or any of its Affiliates during the vesting period;
(d) Options granted to Investor Relations Service Providers will vest such that:
(a) no more than 25% of the Options vest no sooner than three months after the Options were granted;
(b) no more than another 25% of Options vest no sooner than six months after the Options were granted;
(c) no more than 25% of Options vest no sooner than nine months after the Options were granted; and
(d) the remainder of the Options vest no sooner than 12 months after the Options were granted;
(e) in the case of an Optionee being dismissed from employment or service for Cause, such Optionee’s Options, whether or not vested at the date of dismissal will immediately terminate on the Termination Date without right to exercise same;

- i. the aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to Insiders exceeding 10% of the Outstanding Shares; or
- ii. the aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to Insiders within any 12month period exceeding 10% of the Outstanding Shares; or,
- iii. the aggregate number of Common Shares reserved issuance to any one individual Participant or Service Provider, within any 12-month period, exceeding 5% of the Outstanding Shares;
16 -
(b) any reduction in the Exercise Price of an Option, or extension to the Expiry Date of an Option held by an Insider at the time of the proposed amendment, is subject to disinterested shareholder approval in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture;
(h) amendments as reduce, and do not increase, the benefits of the New Option Plan to Service Providers any reduction in the Exercise Price of an Option, or extension to the Expiry Date of an Option, held by an Insider at the time of the proposed amendment is subject to disinterested shareholder approval in accordance with the policies of the TSXV;

The New Option Plan has also been prepared to allow option holders to exercise options on a “Cashless Exercise” or “Net Exercise” basis, as now expressly permitted by New Policy 4.4. “Cashless Exercise” is a method of exercising stock options in which a securities dealer loans funds to the option holder or sells the same shares as those underlying the option, prior to or in conjunction with the exercise of options, to allow the option holder to fund the exercise of some or all of their options. “Net Exercise” is a method of option exercise under which the option holder does not make any payment to the issuer for the exercise of their options and receives on exercise a number of shares equal to the intrinsic value (current market price less the exercise price) of the option valued at the current market price. Under New Policy 4.4, the current market price must be the 5-day volume weighted average trading price prior to option exercise. “Net Exercise” may not be utilized by persons performing investor relations services.

Pursuant to section 4.4. of the New Option Plan, in the event of a Cashless Exercise or Net Exercise, the number of Options exercised, surrendered or converted, and not the number of Common Shares actually issued by the Company, must be included in calculating the limits set forth in sections 2.2, 2.6 and 2.10 of the New Option Plan.

Pursuant to the Board's authority to govern the implementation and administration of the New Option Plan, all previously granted and outstanding stock options shall be governed by the provisions of the New Option Plan.

Refer to heading below PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON – Ratification of New Form Share Option Plan ”.

A copy of the new form of Option Plan is attached as Schedule “B” to this Information Circular and will be made available for presentation to the Shareholders at the Meeting.

The Committee is established to fulfill applicable reporting issuer obligations respecting audit committees and to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to financial reporting including responsibility to:

oversee the integrity of the Company’s financial statements and financial reporting process, including the audit process and the Company’s internal accounting controls and procedures and compliance with related legal and regulatory requirements;
oversee the qualifications and independence of the external auditors;
oversee the work of the Company's financial management and external auditors in these areas; and
provide an open avenue of communication between the external auditors, the Board and senior officers (“ Management ”).

In addition, the Committee shall prepare, if required, an audit committee report for inclusion in the Company’s annual management proxy circular, in accordance with applicable rules and regulations.

The function of the Committee is oversight. It is not the duty or responsibility of the Committee or its members (i) to plan or conduct audits, (ii) to determine that the Company’s financial statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or (iii) to conduct other types of auditing or accounting reviews or similar procedures or investigations. The Committee and its Chair are members of the Board of the Company, appointed to the Committee to provide broad oversight of the financial, risk and control related activities of the Company, and are specifically not accountable or responsible for the day-to-day operations or performance of such activities.

Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Company’s financial statements. Management is also responsible for maintaining appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles and policies and systems of risk assessment and internal controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and transactions are properly authorized, recorded and reported and to assure the effectiveness and efficiency of operations, the reliability of financial reporting and compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations.

The external auditors are responsible for planning and carrying out an audit of the Company’s annual financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards to provide reasonable assurance that, among other things, such financial statements are in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

COMPOSITION AND PROCEDURES

The Committee shall be comprised of at least three members. From and after the closing of the Company’s initial public offering, none of the members of the Committee shall be an officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and each member of the Committee shall be an “independent” director (as such term is defined from time to time under the requirements or guidelines for audit committee service under applicable securities laws and the rules of any stock exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed for trading) and none of the members shall have participated in the preparation of the financial statements of the Company or any current subsidiaries of the Company at any time over the past three years.

All members of the Committee must be “financially literate” (as that term is defined from time to time under the requirements or guidelines for audit committee service under securities laws and the rules of any stock exchange on which the Company's securities are listed for trading or if it is not so defined as that term is interpreted by the Board in its business judgement) or must become financially literate within a reasonable period of time after their appointment to the Committee.

Service on Multiple Audit Committees

If a Committee member serves on the audit committees of more than five reporting issuers or public companies, including the Company, the Board must determine that such service would not impair the ability of the member to effectively serve on the Committee and disclose such determination in the annual proxy circular.

Meetings

The Committee shall meet regularly at times necessary to perform the duties described herein in a timely manner, but not less than four times a year and at any time the Company proposes to issue a press release with its quarterly or annual earnings information. Meetings may be held in person or by telephone and at any time deemed appropriate by the Committee.

Separate Executive Meetings

Professional Assistance
