K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

May 22, 2024

Dear Fellow K92 Mining Shareholders,

==> picture [111 x 110] intentionally omitted <==

On behalf of the Board of Directors, we would like to invite you to our 2024 Annual General and Special Meeting of shareholders that will take place by a hybrid in-person and virtual format on Thursday, June 27, 2024, at 12:00 pm Pacific Time . We encourage Shareholders to vote their shares in advance of the meeting and to join us at the AGM. We want to hear from you and have provided the details on how to join the meeting on our website and in the accompanying meeting materials. For information on how to attend the meeting, please refer to the 2024 Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders on page 1 of this document.

In 2023, the Kainantu Gold Mine in Papua New Guinea (PNG) took major steps forward across several areas, achieving significant financial, operational and resource growth, as well as exploration success. Financially, K92 concluded the year with a robust net cash and short-term treasury bill balance of US $79 million, while also making considerable progress in expanding production and exploration. Additionally, in September 2023, the Company announced a US $100 million loan with Trafigura to further boost our financial flexibility.

Operationally, the Kainantu Gold Mine exceeded our 2023 updated production guidance, delivering 117,607 ounces gold equivalent (“ AuEq "), while recording cash costs of US $585 and all-in sustaining costs of US $1,162 per gold ounce that were better than our original guidance. The Kainantu Gold Mine ended the year strong, achieving record quarterly production, ore mined, throughput and development, with 39,101 ounces AuEq produced in the fourth quarter and strong cash costs and all-in sustaining costs of US $430 and US $1,062 per gold ounce, respectively.

Importantly, 2023 also delivered several key milestones:

Completed commissioning of Stage 2A Expansion in May, increasing annual throughput capacity of the process plant by +25%, to 500,000 tonnes annually.
Awarded the US $81 million engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning ( EPC ) contract for the 1,200,000-tonnes-per-annum (“ tpa ”) Stage 3 Expansion process plant to GR Engineering Services Limited ( GRES ) on a lump-sum basis. Combined with the long-lead items, K92 awarded approximately 94% of the total process plant capital cost, the largest growth capital item for the Stage 3 Expansion that is forecasted to represent over half of the total growth capital cost, on a fixed-price basis to significantly mitigate cost inflation risk.
Entered into a US $100 million senior secured loan agreement and amended offtake agreement with Trafigura, further strengthening K92’s financial position ahead of the planned Stage 3 Expansion and improving future metals payability.
Significantly increased the calculated mineral resources at Kora and Judd in Q4 2023, increasing Kora measured and indicated resource by +8% (to 2.3 million ounces) and the inferred resource by +58% (to 3.9 million ounces) from October 2021 and increasing Judd measured and indicated resource by +167% (to 0.35 million ounces) and Judd inferred resource by +211% (to 0.56 million ounces) from December 2021.
Effectively completed the twin incline at year-end, with incline #2 (6m x 6.5m) advanced to 2,863 metres and incline #3 (5m x 5.5m) advanced to 2,838 metres.

On exploration, we had up to 11 drill rigs in operation, a significant increase from 2 rigs operating in 2018. In 2023, K92’s drilling at Kora - Kora South and Judd - Judd South achieved considerable success, growing both deposits. Both Kora - Kora South and Judd - Judd South, remain open in multiple directions with significant resource expansion potential. In the second half of 2023, underground drilling marked an important milestone with the commencement

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

of drilling at depth from the twin incline, targeting Kora and Judd Deeps. Initially, drilling will focus on infill and then pivot to deep step-outs where we see significant resource growth potential.

Regionally, exploration marked an important milestone at the end of Q4 2023, with the commencement of our maiden drilling program at our high-priority Arakompa target. This represents the first drilling conducted in over 32 years at Arakompa, with our maiden drilling results in February 2024 reporting significant mineralization highlighted by hole KARDD0002 intersecting 4 high grade lodes recording 7.20 m at 24.76 g/t AuEq, 5.70 m at 9.94 g/t AuEq, 5.30 m at 6.06 g/t AuEq and 3.60 m at 3.38 g/t AuEq, within a bulk intersection of 19.8 m at 1.59 g/t AuEq with a higher grade core of 149.4 m at 2.12 g/t AuEq. We plan to progressively increase exploration at Arakompa through 2024. On porphyry exploration, work continues to advance at our top copper-gold porphyry target A1, which commenced drilling in Q1 2023.

Over the past year, K92 has continued to contribute to PNG's economy and local communities in PNG through various programs, education initiatives, infrastructure projects, and business development opportunities. Our workforce over the course of 2023 grew by 14% to a total of 1,687 employees and contractors, of which 94% are PNG Nationals. We look forward to continuing to create jobs in PNG as we deliver the Stage 3 and 4 Expansions. We are also very proud to have received an Industry ESG Award for the second consecutive year, at the PNG Mining and Petroleum Investment Conference in Sydney, Australia, receiving the award for Outstanding Community Humanitarian Initiative for our Women in Mining program.

Environmentally, Kainantu is a high-grade underground mine powered mainly by hydroelectricity, resulting in one of the industry's lower carbon footprints. We are continually seeking improvements, such as enhancing hydroelectric infrastructure, exploring fleet electrification, and investigating carbon sequestration opportunities. Kainantu also operates with a low environmental footprint, one of the smallest among PNG mining operations. We take climate change seriously, and in June 2023, we announced our 2030 Green House Gas Emissions Reduction target to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 25% on a business-as-usual basis. Projects have already been completed and work is underway on various other initiatives to reduce our emissions.

Looking ahead to the remainder of 2024 and beyond, we are optimistic about K92's future, particularly the expansion of our operations and the high potential from our exploration programs. We believe these opportunities, combined with a favorable macroeconomic and geopolitical environment that supports the value of gold, underscore gold's importance as an investment asset and the value of the K92 assets. In addition, we will continue focusing on occupational, health and safety which are always our top priorities.

Additionally, the growing global adoption of electrification enhances the future prospects for copper. K92 has significant and increasing exposure to copper through our inferred resource of 2.9 billion pounds of copper and 3.7 million ounces gold at Blue Lake, significant high-grade copper zones within our vein systems and active exploration at copper-gold porphyry targets such as A1.

K92 will always relentlessly pursue our goal of achieving zero harm amongst our workforce. We take very seriously the increase in Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate in 2023 and the fatalities that occurred in 2023. Many significant actions have already been taken to improve our safety processes, including two independent safety audits, additional safety technologies being progressively introduced, and expanding safety and training resources. From a safety culture perspective, we track and are encouraged by positive leading indicators. As at the end of Q1 2024, there have been three consecutive lost-time injury free quarters.

The Board of Directors and I thank you for your continued support of and interest in K92 Mining.

Sincerely,

“John D. Lewins”

John D. Lewins Chief Executive Officer and Director

(2) The Integrated Development Plan has not been updated to reflect the updated Kora and Judd resource (effective date September 12, 2023); however, the Company does not expect the design parameters and conclusions to materially change. The Company expects the potential mine life to be extended for both cases.

Registered Shareholders Voting Options

Registered Shareholders Option 1 – Voting by Proxy

Voting by proxy is the easiest way to vote. By completing and submitting your proxy form, you are authorizing your proxyholder to vote your Shares at the Meeting, or withhold your vote, according to your instructions. The individuals named in the accompanying form of proxy are directors or officers of the Company (the “ Management Proxyholders ”). Unless otherwise noted, the following instructions assume that you are appointing the Management Proxyholders as your proxy.

If there are other items of business that properly come before the Meeting, or amendments or variations to the items of business, your proxyholder has the discretion to vote your Shares as they see fit. It is important that you provide voting instructions with your proxy. If you appoint the Management Proxyholders but do not tell them how to vote, your Shares will be voted FOR each of the items of business currently proposed for the Meeting.

A proxy will not be valid unless it is dated and signed by you, as the Registered Shareholder, or by your power of attorney with proof that they are authorized to sign, and completed according to the instructions set out in the proxy form. If you represent a Registered Shareholder who is a company or association, your proxy should have the seal of the company or association, if applicable, and must be executed by an authorized officer or an attorney. If you execute a proxy as an attorney for a Registered Shareholder who is an individual, or as an officer or attorney of a Registered Shareholder who is a company or association, you must include the original authorization, or a notarized copy of the written authorization for the officer or attorney, with your proxy form.

Registered Shareholders who wish to submit a proxy may do so by returning a completed, dated and signed proxy to the Company’s transfer agent, TSX Trust Company, before the cut-off time of 12:00 pm (Pacific Time) on June 25, 2024 , by any of the following methods:

If you are a Registered Shareholder and want to attend the Meeting and vote in person, you do not need to complete or return your proxy form as you will cast your vote at the Meeting. However, even if you are planning to attend the Meeting in person, we still recommend that you vote in advance by proxy so that your vote will be counted if you’re subsequently unable to attend the Meeting. If your voting decision changes and you have already delivered a proxy, you can change your original vote by voting again at the Meeting in person.

*** Please refer to “ _Appointing a Proxyholder to Vote at the Meeting”_ on page 15.**

Non-Registered Shareholders Voting Options

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many K92 Shareholders, as a substantial number of K92 Shareholders are Non-Registered Shareholders whose Shares are not registered in their own names.

A person or company is not a Registered Shareholder if Shares that are held on behalf of the person or company (the “ Non-Registered Shareholder ”) are registered in the name of an intermediary (“ Intermediary ”) that the NonRegistered Shareholder deals with regarding the Shares. Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans; or in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository of Securities Limited) of which the intermediary is a participant. Typically, Intermediaries will use a service company (such as Broadridge Investor Communications) to forward meeting materials to Non-Registered Shareholders.

Non-Registered Shareholders Option 1 – Voting by Proxy

Voting by proxy or using the voting instruction form is the easiest way to vote. By completing and returning the voting instruction form (“ VIF ”) or form of proxy according to the instructions on the VIF, you are advising your Intermediary how you would like your Shares voted for the Meeting.

You should receive from your Intermediary either a VIF, which is not signed by the Intermediary, or a pre-authorized form of proxy indicating the number of Shares to be voted, that has already been signed by the Intermediary. Your Intermediary must ask for your voting instructions before the Meeting.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

Your Intermediary will have its own procedures that you should carefully follow to ensure your Shares are voted on your behalf by your Intermediary at the Meeting. Please be aware that the deadline for submitting your voting instruction form or form of proxy to your Intermediary may be earlier than the deadlines for Registered Shareholders set out here. Your voting instructions must be received in sufficient time to allow your instructions to be forwarded by your Intermediary to TSX Trust for receipt at least 48 hours before the Meeting, or its postponement or adjournment.

Most brokers delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge in Canada and 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 your Shares at the Meeting. The completed VIF must be returned by mail (using the return envelope provided) or by facsimile. Alternatively, Non-Registered Shareholders may be instructed to call a toll-free number or go online to www.proxyvote.com to vote. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of the Shares to be represented at the Meeting and the appointment of any Shareholder’s representative.

The Company may use Broadridge’s QuickVote[TM] system to assist Shareholders with voting their Shares. Certain Non-Registered Shareholders who have not objected to the Company knowing who they are (non-objecting beneficial owners or “ NOBOs ”) may be contacted by Laurel Hill, which is soliciting proxies on behalf of management of the Company, to conveniently obtain a vote directly over the phone.

A Non-Registered Shareholder who receives a VIF or form of proxy cannot use that form to vote Shares directly at the Meeting. The VIF or form of proxy must be returned following the instructions set out on the form well in advance of the Meeting to have the Shares voted at the Meeting on the Non-Registered Shareholder’s behalf.

Guidelines for proper completion of the proxy are available at https://stac.ca/public/proxy-protocol/.

Non-Registered Shareholders Option 2 – Attending and Voting at the Meeting

ONLY REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS OR DULY APPOINTED PROXYHOLDERS ARE PERMITTED TO VOTE AT THE MEETING. MOST SHAREHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY ARE NON-REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS BECAUSE THE SHARES THEY OWN ARE NOT REGISTERED IN THEIR NAMES BUT ARE INSTEAD REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF THE BROKERAGE FIRM, BANK OR TRUST COMPANY (INTERMEDIARY).

If you are a Non-Registered Shareholder and wish to attend and vote at the virtual Meeting instead of by proxy, you must insert your name (or the name of another person as you wish to attend and vote on your behalf) in the blank space provided for that purpose on the VIF and return the completed VIF as per the instructions set out on the VIF.

Non-Registered Shareholders - Virtual Meeting Registration

You or your appointee must then register with TSX Trust in advance of the Meeting by emailing to [email protected] a completed "Request for Control Number" form, that can be found here: https://tsxtrust.com/resource/en/75. TSX Trust will provide the appointee with a Control Number by e-mail. If you or your appointee is approved as a proxyholder, you will need to attend the Meeting for your votes to be counted.

==> picture [60 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

The Meeting will be hosted virtually by a live audiocast starting at 12:00 pm (Pacific Time) on June 27, 2024. To participate online, Non-Registered Shareholders must have received from TSX Trust Company a valid 12-digit control number and login credentials for the Meeting.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

Appointing a Proxyholder to Vote at the Meeting

The persons named as proxyholders in the accompanying form of proxy are directors or officers of the Company (the “ Management Proxyholders ”). A shareholder has the right to appoint as proxyholder a person other than the persons whose names are printed as proxyholders in the accompanying form of proxy.

A proxyholder is the person you appoint to act on your behalf at the Meeting (including any postponement or adjournment of the Meeting) and to vote your Shares. You may choose anyone to be your proxyholder, including someone who is not a Shareholder of K92. Simply fill in the proxyholder’s name in the blank space provided on the form of proxy mailed to you. If you leave the space in the form of proxy blank, the persons designated in the proxy or voting instruction form (VIF) are appointed to act as your proxyholder.

The following applies to Shareholders who wish to appoint a person (a “ third-party proxyholder” ), other than the management nominees set forth in the form of proxy or VIF, as proxyholder, including Non-Registered Shareholders who wish to appoint themselves as proxyholder to participate or vote at the Meeting.

Shareholders who wish to appoint a third-party proxyholder to participate or vote at the Meeting as their proxy and vote their Shares MUST submit their proxy or VIF (as applicable) appointing the third-party proxyholder AND register the third-party proxyholder, as described below. Registering your proxyholder is an additional step to be completed AFTER you have submitted your proxy or voting instruction form. Failure to register the proxyholder will result in the proxyholder not receiving a Control Number to attend, participate or vote at the Meeting.

STEP 1: Submit your proxy or VIF: To appoint a third-party proxyholder, insert the person’s name in the blank space provided in the form of proxy or VIF (if permitted) and follow the instructions for submitting the proxy or VIF.
STEP 2: Register your proxyholder: The person you appoint as proxyholder MUST contact TSX Trust at [email protected] to request a control number to be represented or voted at the Meeting. TSX Trust will provide the proxyholder with a Control Number by e-mail after the voting deadline has passed. Without the control number, proxyholders will not be able to participate or vote at the Meeting. It is the responsibility of the Shareholder to advise their proxy (the person they appoint) to contact TSX Trust to request a control number.

If you are a Non-Registered Shareholder and wish to attend. participate and vote at the Meeting, you must insert your own name in the space provided on the VIF sent to you by your Intermediary, follow all of the applicable instructions provided by your intermediary AND register yourself as your proxyholder, as described above. By doing so, you are instructing your Intermediary to appoint you as proxyholder. It is important that you comply with the signature and return instructions provided by your Intermediary. Please also see further instructions under the heading “ Attending and Voting Virtually at the Meeting ”.

Revocation or Change of Proxies

Any Registered Shareholder who has returned a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is used by:

Submitting a new completed proxy form that is dated later than your original proxy and is received by TSX Trust by the proxy voting cut-off time of 12:00 pm (Pacific Time) on June 27, 2024, or, in the case of an adjournment or postponement of the Meeting, by no later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before such reconvened Meeting;

The written authorization must accompany the Revocation Notice.

If you are a Non-Registered Shareholder who has voted by proxy through your Intermediary and would like to change or revoke your vote, contact your Intermediary to discuss whether this is possible and what procedures you need to follow. The change or revocation of voting instructions by a Non-Registered Shareholder can take several days or longer to complete and, accordingly, any such action should be completed well in advance of the deadline given in the proxy or voting instruction form by the Intermediary or its service company to ensure it is effective.

QUORUM AND VOTES NECESSARY TO PASS RESOLUTIONS

Pursuant to the articles of the Company (the “ Articles ”), a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of Shareholders is two persons present or represented by proxy who, in the aggregate, hold at least 25% of the issued shares entitled to be voted at the meeting. Under the BCBCA and pursuant to the Company’s Articles, a majority of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast at the Meeting is required to pass all special resolutions.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, to pass ordinary resolutions to: (i) elect seven (7) directors to the Board; (ii) appoint an auditor and to authorize the directors to fix the auditor’s remuneration; and (iii) approve the Amended Share Compensation Plan; (iv) approve the advisory resolution on executive compensation; (v) approve any other business that properly comes before the Meeting.

BUSINESS OF THE MEETING

There are six items of business to be considered at the Meeting. The matters are described in this section below.

Your proxy authorizes your proxyholder to act and vote for you on any amendment or variation of any of the business of the Meeting and on any other matter that properly comes before the Meeting. Your proxy is effective at any continuation following an adjournment of the Meeting. As of May 22, 2024, no director or officer of the Company is aware of any variation, amendment, or other matter to be presented for a vote at the Meeting.

3. NUMBER OF DIRECTORS

The Company’s Articles require that the Board of K92 consists of at least three directors if the Company is a public company and provide that the Shareholders fix or set the number of directors from time to time. At the Meeting, the seven (7) persons named in “Board Nominees” below will be proposed for election as directors of the Company. The Company is asking Shareholders to set, by ordinary resolution, the number of directors of the Company at seven .

Unless directed otherwise in the form of proxy, the persons named in the form of proxy intend to vote FOR setting the number of directors at seven (7) persons.

4. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The term of office of each of the current directors will end at the conclusion of the Meeting. At the Meeting, Shareholders of the Company will be asked to elect the directors of the Company, to hold office until the close of our next annual meeting of Shareholders or until their successor is elected or appointed, unless their office is earlier vacated, in accordance with the Articles and with the provisions of the BCBCA.

The Board has approved the seven nominees on recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Management does not anticipate that any nominee will be unable or unwilling to serve as a director, but if that should occur for any reason prior to the Meeting, the Management Proxyholders designated in the enclosed form of proxy have the authority to vote for another nominee at their discretion.

The seven directors being nominated for election at the Meeting in 2024 are:

1.	Mr. Mark Eaton	5. Ms. Nan Lee
2.	Ms. Anne E. Giardini	6. Mr. John D. Lewins
3.	Mr. Saurabh Handa	7. Mr. Graham Wheelock
4.	Ms. Cyndi Laval

The biographies and other detailed background information regarding our nominees for election to the Board are listed in the section, “Board Nominees” starting on page 25. The information provided includes the following for each nominee: description of their principal occupation or business within the past five years; details of residence; independence status; date they first became a director of K92; areas of expertise; number of securities of K92 owned or controlled; and other important matters to consider. Also included are the committee memberships and attendance records for the year. The biographies have each been reviewed by the respective nominee.

All of the proposed nominees except two are "independent" within the meaning of National Instrument 52-110 - Audit Committees. John Lewins is not considered independent because he is our Chief Executive Officer, and Cyndi Laval is not independent as she is a partner at the law firm acting as the Company’s legal counsel. Both nonindependent directors serve a crucial role on the Board, contributing significant expertise and experience.

Each of the director nominees is well-qualified and demonstrates the competencies, character and commitment that are fundamental to K92’s business. Each of the seven director nominees have confirmed their willingness to serve as a director.

Majority Voting Policy

Our directors are elected annually, individually, and by majority vote. Shareholders can vote “for” or “withhold” from voting on the election of individual directors. The Board has adopted a Majority Voting Policy that states, in an uncontested election of directors of the Company at a Shareholders’ meeting, any nominee for director who receives more “withheld” votes than votes “for” such election will be considered not to have received the support of the Shareholders. Such nominee is required to tender their resignation to the Board promptly following the Meeting.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

The balance of the Board will then consider whether to accept the resignation and may seek a recommendation from the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in considering its decision. Unless there are exceptional circumstances, it is expected that the Board will accept the resignation in a timeframe consistent with the interests of the Company and, in any event, within 90 days from the date of the relevant Shareholders' meeting. The resignation will be effective on a date determined by the Board. The Board will announce its final decision in a news release within the 90-day period and will also inform the TSX. The applicable director will not be permitted to participate in any deliberations regarding such directors’ resignation offer. If a resignation is accepted, the Board may appoint a new director to fill any vacancy created by the resignation or reduce the size of the Board.

The Company’s Articles (Article 14.12) include advance notice provisions (the “ Advance Notice Provisions ”) with respect to the nomination of individuals for election as director. The Advance Notice Provisions provide Shareholders, directors and management of the Company with a clear framework for nominating directors. Among other things, the Advance Notice Provisions fix a deadline by which holders of 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. A copy of the Articles can be found under the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company’s website.

Pursuant to the Advance Notice Provisions, in the case of an annual meeting of Shareholders, notice to the Company must be made not less than 30 days before the date of the annual meeting; provided, however, that if the annual meeting is to be held on a date that is less than 50 days after the date on which the first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was made by the Company, notice may be made not later than the close of business on the 10[th] day following such public announcement. In the case of a special meeting of Shareholders (which is not also an annual meeting), notice by the nominating Shareholder to the Company must be made not later than the close of business on the 15[th] day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting was made.

The Company has not received notice of a nomination in compliance with the Articles and, as such, any nominations other than nominations by or at the direction of the Board or an authorized officer of the Company will be disregarded at the Meeting.

5. AMENDMENT OF SHARE COMPENSATION PLAN AND APPROVAL OF UNALLOCATED OPTIONs, RSUs AND PSUs

The Company presently has in place a “rolling” share compensation plan (the “ Share Compensation Plan ” or “Current Plan ”) that provides for the issuance of Options, restricted share units (“ RSUs ”), and performance share units (“ PSUs ”).

The current Share Compensation Plan is a 6.75% rolling plan pursuant to which the number of Shares that may be issuable pursuant to Options, RSUs, and PSUs granted under the Share Compensation Plan, together with Options previously granted under the Stock Option Plan and any other Shares issuable under all other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company and its subsidiaries, is a maximum of 6.75% of the issued and outstanding Shares at the time of the grant, on a non-diluted basis.

The purpose of the Current Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and its subsidiaries and Shareholders by: (i) ensuring that the interests of directors, officers, employees or certain consultants who provide services to the

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

Company and its subsidiaries (“ Eligible Persons ”) are aligned with the success of the Company and its subsidiaries; (ii) encouraging stock ownership by Eligible Persons; and (iii) providing compensation opportunities to attract, retain and motivate Eligible Persons.

The Board considers Options, RSUs and PSUs to be core elements of K92’s executive compensation program; particularly because equity securities provide long-term “at risk” compensation that helps ensure the interests of the executive officers are aligned with Shareholders in creating long term shareholder value in combination with the other short- and long-term incentive compensation practices of the Company.

Plan Amendments

The Company intends to amend the following terms of the Share Compensation Plan:

(a) Maximum Shares Subject to Amended Plan – The maximum number of Shares that may be issuable pursuant to Options, RSUs, and PSUs granted under the amended Share Compensation Plan, together with any other Shares issuable under all other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company and its subsidiaries, will be reduced from 6.75% to a maximum of 6.00% of the issued and outstanding Shares at the time of the grant, on a non-diluted basis.
(b) Maximum Allotment of RSUs and PSUs – The maximum number of Shares that may be issuable pursuant to RSUs or PSUs, on an aggregated basis, will be increased from 2.75% to 3.70% of the outstanding Shares at the time of grant.
(c) Maximum Allotment of Options – The maximum number of Shares that may be issuable pursuant to Options, on an aggregated basis, will be reduced from 4.00% to 2.30% of the outstanding Shares at the time of grant.
(d) Maximum Allotment to Insiders – The maximum number of Shares that may be issuable to Insiders pursuant to Options, RSUs, and PSUs granted under the Amended Plan, together with any other Shares issuable under all other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company and its subsidiaries, will be reduced from 6.75% to a maximum of 6.00% of the issued and outstanding Shares at the time of the grant, on a non-diluted basis.
(e) Vesting of Options Granted to CEO – Each option granted to the CEO after December 31, 2023 shall vest over five (5) years and become exercisable as to one-fifth of the Common Shares subject to such Options on the first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the Grant Date of such Options, subject to the CEO remaining an Eligible Person on the Vesting Date.

The principal amendments to the Share Compensation Plan are summarized below. The amendments (the “ Amendments ”) to the Share Compensation Plan (the Share Compensation Plan, as amended, being referred to as the “ Amended Plan ”) will then be submitted to Shareholders at the Meeting for approval. Details of the terms of the Amended Plan can be found under “Amended Share Compensation Plan - Material Terms” in this Information Circular. A copy of the Amended Plan, showing the changes from the Current Plan, is attached as Schedule “B” to this Information Circular.

Summary of Amended Plan Terms

A summary of the key terms of the Amended Plan is set out below:

the aggregate number of Shares that may be issuable pursuant to Options, RSUs, and PSUs (together with any other Shares issuable pursuant to other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company) may not exceed 6.00% of the number of outstanding Shares, calculated at the time of grant;
the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issuable pursuant to RSUs together with PSUs may not exceed 3.70% of the number of outstanding Shares, calculated at the time of grant;
the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issuable pursuant to Options may not exceed 2.30% of the number of outstanding Shares, calculated at the time of grant;

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

the aggregate number of Shares that may be issuable to Insiders pursuant to Options, RSUs, and PSUs (together with any other Shares issuable pursuant to other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company) may not exceed 6.00% of the number of outstanding Shares, calculated at the time of grant;
the aggregate equity award value of all grants to any one non-employee director within a one-year period may not exceed $150,000 per such non-employee director, of which no more than $100,000 may comprise Options;
Options granted to Eligible Persons who are not the CEO will vest as to one-third of the number of such Options, on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the date the Option is granted, unless otherwise determined by the Board;
Options granted to the CEO after December 31, 2023 will vest as to one-fifth of the number of such Options, on each of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the date the Option is granted, unless otherwise determined by the Board;

RSU Trust is established and is added as an Eligible Person to the Amended Plan to allow for the Award of RSUs to the RSU Trust for the benefit of Trust Beneficiaries.

In addition, certain other amendments of a housekeeping nature were made.

The existing Options and RSU and PSU awards that are outstanding under the Share Compensation Plan will be incorporated into the Amended Plan and will be governed by the Amended Plan.

The Board has approved the Amended Plan as well as all unallocated Options, RSUs and PSUs under the Amended Plan at the recommendation of the Compensation and Benefits Committee. The Amended Plan has been conditionally approved by the TSX.

If the Amended Plan is not approved by Shareholders at the Meeting, the Current Plan will continue pursuant to its terms. The Company is seeking Shareholder approval of the Amended Plan as required by Section 13.1 of the Plan. As such, Shareholders will be asked at the Meeting to consider and, if thought appropriate, to pass an ordinary resolution to approve the Amended Plan.

The TSX requires that every three years after the institution by an issuer of a security-based compensation arrangement that does not have a fixed maximum number of securities issuable, such as the Amended Plan, all unallocated rights, options or other entitlements under such arrangement must be specifically approved by a majority of the issuer’s Shareholders.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought appropriate, to pass the ordinary resolution, in substantially the form set forth below, approving the Amendments and the Amended Plan as well as all unallocated Options, RSUs and PSUs under the Amended Plan (the “ Amended Share Compensation Plan Resolution ”).

The text of the Amended Share Compensation Plan Resolution to be submitted to Shareholders at the Meeting is set forth below:

“ BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

the share compensation plan of K92 Mining Inc., as amended by the board of directors and substantially in the form presented to the shareholders of the Company (the “ Amended Plan ”), as described in the management information circular of the Company dated May 22, 2024, be and is hereby ratified, confirmed and approved;
the maximum number of shares that may be issuable pursuant to options, restricted share units (“ RSUs ”), and performance share units (“ PSUs ”) under the Amended Plan, together with any other shares issuable under all

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

other security-based compensation arrangements be reduced from 6.75% to a maximum of 6.00% of the issued and outstanding shares at the time of the grant;
the maximum number of common shares that may be issuable pursuant to RSUs or PSUs, on an aggregated basis, be increased from 2.75% to 3.70% of the outstanding shares at the time of grant;
the maximum number of common shares that may be issuable pursuant to stock options, on an aggregated basis, be reduced from 4.00% to 2.30% of the outstanding shares at the time of grant;
the maximum number of shares that may be issuable to insiders pursuant to options, RSUs, and PSUs granted under the Amended Plan, together with any other shares issuable under all other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company, be reduced from 6.75% to a maximum of 6.00% of the issued and outstanding Shares at the time of the grant;
each stock option granted to the Chief Executive Officer after December 31, 2023 be vested over five (5) years and become exercisable as to one-fifth of the shares subject to such options on the first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the grant date of such stock options, subject to the Chief Executive Officer remaining an eligible person on the vesting date;
all unallocated stock options (“ Options ”), RSUs and PSUs issuable under the Plan, as further amended or supplemented from time to time, be and are hereby authorized and approved;
the Company shall have the ability to grant stock options, RSUs and PSUs under the Amended Plan until June 27, 2027, which is the date that is three (3) years from the date of the shareholder meeting at which shareholder approval of the Amended Plan and all unallocated Options, RSUs and PSUs is being sought;
the board of directors be authorized on behalf of the Company to make such amendments to the Amended Plan from time to time as the board of directors of the Company may, in its discretion, consider to be appropriate, provided that such amendments will be subject to the approval of all applicable regulatory authorities and in certain cases, in accordance with the terms of the Amended Plan, the shareholders of the Company; and
any one director or officer of the Company is hereby authorized, for and on behalf of the Company, to execute and deliver all such documents and instruments and to do all other things as in the opinion of such director or officer may be necessary or desirable to implement this resolution and the matters authorized hereby, such determination to be conclusively evidenced by the execution and delivery of any such document or instrument, or the taking of any such action.”

To be effective, the Amended Share Compensation Plan Resolution must be approved by a majority (greater than 50%) of the votes cast by Shareholders who vote in respect of the Amended Share Compensation Plan Resolution.

If the Amended Share Compensation Plan Resolution is not approved by Shareholders at the Meeting, no Options, RSUs or PSUs will be granted under the Amended Plan until Shareholder approval is obtained. The Current Plan will remain in effect and will continue to govern the terms of all outstanding Options, RSUs and PSUs issued under the Current Plan. If the Amended Share Compensation Plan Resolution is not approved by Shareholders at the Meeting, the Company will be able to continue to grant further Options and RSUs and PSUs under the Current Plan and the total number of Awards issued (but not exercised or vested) under the Current Plan will count towards the maximum number of Awards issuable under the Current Plan until the earlier of (i) hareholder approval of a new equity incentive plan is obtained at a meeting of Shareholders; or (ii) October 28, 2024, being the date by which hareholder approval of unallocated Options under the Current Plan is required to be sought, under the TSX Company Manual.

Unless authority to do so is withheld, the persons named in the form of proxy intend to vote FOR the Amended Share Compensation Plan Resolution.

6. ADVISORY RESOLUTION ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Board endorses a “pay for performance” approach for executive compensation and believes that the Company’s Shareholders should have the opportunity to fully understand the objectives, strategy, principles and philosophy that the Board has used in its approach to executive compensation decisions.

The Board has adopted a “say on pay” advisory vote on the Board’s approach to executive compensation. The purpose of the say on pay advisory vote is to provide appropriate accountability for the Board’s executive compensation decisions to the Shareholders of the Company and give Shareholders a formal opportunity to provide their views on the disclosed objectives of the executive compensation plans, and on the plans themselves. For a detailed discussion on K92’s approach to compensation, Shareholders are encouraged to review the section on “Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on page 67 of this Information Circular.

At the Meeting, the Shareholders of the Company will be asked to consider, and if thought fit, pass the following resolution regarding executive compensation (the “ Advisory Resolution on Executive Compensation ”):

“Resolved, on an advisory basis and not to diminish the role and responsibilities of the board of directors, that the Shareholders accept the approach to executive compensation disclosed in the Company’s information circular delivered in advance of the 2024 annual meeting of Shareholders .”

As this is an advisory vote, the results will not be binding upon the Board. However, the Board will take the results of the vote into account, as it considers appropriate, when considering future executive compensation policies, procedures and decisions and in determining whether there is a need to significantly increase their engagement with Shareholders on executive compensation and related matters.

The Company will disclose the results of the shareholder advisory vote in a press release as a part of its report on voting results for the meeting.

If a significant number of Shareholders casts votes against the Advisory Resolution on Executive Compensation, the Board will consult with its Shareholders, particularly those who are known by the Company to have voted against it, in order to understand their concerns. The Board will also review its approach to executive compensation in the context of those concerns. Shareholders are encouraged to contact the Board using the contact information provided on the last page of this Information Circular to discuss any concerns about the Company’s approach to executive compensation.

At the previous annual meeting of the Company held in 2023, the Shareholders voted 96.58% in favour of the “say on pay” advisory resolution.

==> picture [54 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the Advisory Resolution on Executive Compensation. Unless authority to do so is withheld, the persons named in the form of proxy intend to vote FOR the Advisory Resolution on Executive Compensation.

Corporate Cease Trade Orders or Bankruptcies

Except as disclosed below, to the knowledge of the Company, as at the date of this Information Circular and within the preceding 10 years, none of the proposed directors (or any of their personal holding companies) is, or has been a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of any company (including K92) that was:

(a) subject to a cease trade or similar order (including a management cease trade order whether or not such person was named in the order) or an order that denied the relevant company access to any exemption under securities legislation (each an “Order”), that was in effect for a period of more than 30 consecutive days (an “ Order ”) while the proposed director was acting in the capacity as director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer; or
(b) subject to an Order that was issued after the proposed director ceased to be a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer and which resulted from an event that occurred while that person was acting in the capacity as director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer; or
(c) while that person was acting in that capacity of director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer, or within a year of that person ceasing to act in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets.

The following information, not being within the knowledge of the Company, has been furnished by the director nominees mentioned below.

Saurabh Handa was a director of Banks Island Gold Ltd. (“Banks Island”) from June 7, 2011 to July 28, 2015. On January 8, 2016, Banks Island announced its intention to make an assignment into bankruptcy and Industry Canada accepted that assignment effective January 8, 2016. The assignment was also filed with the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy the same day.

John Lewins was a director of Platinum Australia Limited (“Platinum Australia”), a company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (“ASX”) when, on June 28, 2012, Bryan Hughes of Pitcher Partners Accountants, Auditors & Advisors was appointed Voluntary Administrator (the “Administrator”) of Platinum Australia pursuant to Section 436A of the Australia Corporations Act.

The decision was made due to operational issues at the company’s Smokey Hills platinum mine, combined with decreasing commodity prices. Mr. Lewins remained a director of Platinum Australia until December 2014, while the company was still in Administration status. Under the Corporations Act, all powers of the directors ceased on the appointment of the Administrator.

The Administrator found that Platinum Australia had not traded while insolvent and that the directors had not committed any offences. Platinum Australia was still in Administration when it was suspended from the ASX on August 31, 2015. The Administrator subsequently made an application for Platinum Australia to be wound up voluntarily.

Conflicts of Interest

Conflicts of interest may arise as a result of the directors and officers of the Company holding positions as director or officers of other companies. Some of the directors and officers have been and will continue to be similarly engaged in the identification and evaluation of assets and businesses, with a view to potential acquisition and exploitation of interests in businesses and companies on their own behalf and on behalf of other companies, and situations may arise where the directors and officers will be in direct competition with the Company.

The Board takes appropriate measures to exercise independent judgement when considering any transactions and agreements. Under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, the directors and officers of the Company are required by law to act honestly and in good faith, with a view to the best interests of the Company. If such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the Company’s directors, a director who has such a conflict will disclose such interest in a contract or transaction and will abstain from voting on any resolution in respect of such contract or transaction.

As at the date of this Information Circular, the officers and directors of the Company, as a group, beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over, 4,402,875 Shares or approximately 1.86% of the number of outstanding voting Shares.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

We expect our directors to have personal attributes and expertise that contribute to the Board, to devote the necessary time for Board and committee duties, to act with integrity, to exercise independent business judgment, and to stay informed and participate fully in board matters.

Board Skills Matrix

We maintain a skills matrix for which each director indicates whether they have expertise and professional background in areas we consider to be essential for K92, having regard to our strategies, plans, operations and stakeholders. The skills matrix is also used by our Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee as part of the director succession planning process, when identifying, selecting and nominating directors for appointment to the Board. The matrix is also used as part of evaluating the competencies, characteristics, qualities, skills and experiences needed to maximize performance and effectiveness of our Board and committees. Additional information about each director is contained in their profiles under “Board Nominees” starting on page 25.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

Board Independence

The Board has considered the relationship of each director to the Company and determined that the majority of directors are independent. A director is considered independent if they would be “independent” as defined by National Instrument 52-110 - Audit Committees (“ NI 52-110 ”) and National Policy 58-201 - Corporate Governance Guidelines . Generally, directors are considered to be independent if they have no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. A “material relationship” is a relationship which could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgement.

Five of the Board’s existing seven directors (71%) qualify as independent directors under NI 52-110. Having independent directors on the Company’s Board allows for objective opinions, particularly in relation to the evaluation and performance of the Board and well-being of the Company. With the guidance of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board structure is assessed annually and considered continually throughout the year to ensure that the directors can act objectively and in an unfettered manner, independent of management and free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with their ability to act in the Company’s best interests. The Board at each of its meetings, meets separately from non-independent directors and Management, and the independent directors will have open and candid discussions among themselves.

Anne Giardini, an independent director and Chair of the Board, serves as Chair of Board meetings and meetings of the independent members of the Board, as well as acting as the liaison between management and the Board. It is the Company’s policy that the Board Chair be independent.

John Lewins, the Company’s CEO, is not independent and is considered to have a material relationship with K92 as CEO. Cyndi Laval is considered not independent as she has a professional relationship as the partner at the law firm acting as the Company’s legal counsel. The Board considers Cyndi Laval to be a highly effective director who exercises independent judgement and makes decisions about the Company and management that are not inhibited by her firm’s professional relationship with the Company. She communicates with the Board and management candidly.

Saurabh Handa is considered an audit committee “financial expert” within the meaning of the applicable U.S. securities laws as he has extensive experience as the CFO with public companies, and previously served as a public accountant with Deloitte in its audit and valuation practices, working with international mining clients. The Board values the essential contributions that Saurabh Handa makes as Chair of the Audit Committee. In addition to the breadth of background knowledge he brings as one of the Company’s first directors, he possesses important financial expertise and mining industry experience. Mr. Handa previously served as Audit Committee Chair of one outside public company and is CFO of a public company in a mining-related industry. The Board considers Mr. Handa capable of the commitment required in his role as K92 director and benefits from the experience of his outside roles. He has attended all Board and committee meetings since first being elected.

The following table describes whether the current and proposed directors are independent and, if not independent, sets out the reasons. All of the members of the Company’s key committees are independent.

Director Name	Independent	Reason For Non-Independent Status

Board Tenure

The Company has not adopted term limits for the directors or other formal mechanisms of Board renewal as term limits could restrict the Company’s ability to benefit from the contributions of otherwise qualified, experienced directors. The Board has chosen not to implement mandatory retirement or term limits for directors at this time. The Board recognizes the value that a knowledgeable and experienced director can provide to the Company. The Board has a rigorous process to review directors and Board effectiveness, including a skills gap analysis and a diversity policy which all assist in Board renewal and ensuring the strong performance and independence of directors. The average tenure of our director nominees is 6.1 years.

Director Succession

The Board has a proactive succession planning process for directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for identifying and recommending director candidates for election to the Board at each annual meeting or to fill vacancies on the Board. Director candidates are assessed based on their individual qualifications, experience, diversity of background and expertise, as well as their integrity, professionalism, values and independent judgement.

In assessing the composition of the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee uses a matrix to identify areas the Board considers necessary in fulfilling its duties and responsibilities in overseeing the Company’s strategic direction, management, and affairs. The skills matrix is updated regularly, reviewed annually, and used as a reference tool for continual assessment.

Other Directorships

In addition to their positions on the Board some director nominees also serve as directors of other reporting issuers. The following table provides details of the directorships and committee appointments held by the director nominees on other public companies as at the date of this Information Circular. None of the director nominees of the Company have interlocking relationships by which they serve together as directors on the boards of other public companies.

The Board has determined that the simultaneous service of some of its directors on other audit committees does not impair the ability of such directors to effectively serve on K92’s Audit Committee.

Director Interlocks and Outside Board Memberships

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee continuously engages with our directors regarding their outside board commitments to know if there are circumstances that would impact a director’s ability to exercise independent judgment and to confirm each director has enough time to fulfill their commitments to the Company. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee requires that directors advise the committee when they are considering outside public company board appointments.

An interlock occurs when two or more Board members are also fellow board members of another public company. The Company limits the number of directors sitting together on another public company board to two directors. In considering whether or not to permit more than two directors to serve on the same board, the Board takes into account all relevant considerations including, in particular, the total number of Board interlocks at that time. K92 has no Board interlocks.

We expect our directors to be able to devote the time, effort and energy necessary to serve effectively as a director of the Company. The Company believes that while the knowledge and experience that come from a variety of multiple directorships is valuable, our directors' increasingly complex responsibilities require an increasingly significant time commitment and they must balance the insight gained from roles on multiple boards with the ability to sufficiently prepare for, attend, and effectively participate in all of our board and committee meetings.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

Over-boarding Policy

It is the Company’s policy that directors who serve as CEOs of non-affiliated companies hold a maximum of two outside public company directorships (recognizing that there can be value in a director or senior executive gaining board experience in another or related industry) and that directors who are not CEOs of non-affiliated companies generally hold no more than four additional outside public company directorships. The Chair may determine that serving on more than four additional boards would not affect such director’s ability to perform effectively and in making this determination, will consider the size and commitment required of the companies.

Summary of Board and Committee Meetings

The Board meets a minimum of four times per year and as otherwise required. In 2023, the Board held ten meetings. Typically, each committee of the Board meets four times each year, or as considered necessary by the applicable committee. The frequency of the meetings and the nature of each meeting agenda depend on the business and affairs that the Company faces from time to time. Directors also attend informal updates by management from time to time. The CEO, CFO, President, COO and the Vice Presidents are invited to attend some committee meetings. Other Company representatives or consultants may also be invited to attend committee meetings from time to time.

To promote independent functioning, an In-camera meeting without management present is held following every Board and committee meeting.

The following table summarizes directors’ attendance at Board and committee meetings held during 2023. The attendance table reflects attendance at meetings for which the director was required to attend as a committee or Board member. Each meeting is normally chaired by the Board Chair or committee Chair and when the Chair is not present, another independent director is appointed to chair the meeting.

Number of Board and Committee Meetings Held in 2023

Board of Directors	10	Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee	1
Audit Committee	4	Sustainability Committee	3
Compensation and Benefits Committee	3	Health and Safety Committee	3

In addition to Board and committee meetings, written consent resolutions for routine matters are typically passed by the Board and the committees. Resolutions in writing must be executed by all of the directors, or committee members as the case may be, in order to be effective.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

Board and committee meetings are scheduled in advance of the meetings. Before each meeting, agendas are developed with collaboration with the Chair. Background materials are delivered to the directors for review before each meeting and presentations are made by Management during meetings.

(1) Attendance by each director at Board and committee meetings is based on the number of meetings held during the portion of the calendar year during which the director served on the Board and/or the applicable committee.

(2) John Lewins was unable to attend a Board meeting on June 29, 2023 because he was travelling due to an emergency at the mine site.

During 2023, seven meetings of the Board were held via videoconference, one meeting was a hybrid videoconference and in-person meeting, and two meetings were held in person. One Audit Committee meeting was held in person and all other committee meetings were held by videoconference or were hybrid videoconference and in-person meetings. Other independent directors who are not committee members are invited to attend committee meetings from time to time. The Board normally meets once per year for an in-person full-day strategy session. The Board last met in November 2023 for such a session and plans to hold another in-person strategy session in October 2024.

As set out in the Board Mandate, Board members are expected to: attend all meetings of the Board in person or by telephone or other electronic communications device that permits all members in the meeting to speak and to hear each other; to devote the necessary time and attention to the work of the Board; and to have reviewed Board materials in advance and be prepared to discuss such materials.

In-Camera Sessions

At the conclusion of each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board, the independent directors hold an in-camera session at which non-independent directors and members of Management are not present unless the Board Chair otherwise requests. These sessions encourage open and candid discussion among the directors and with any advisors. Each committee of the Board also holds similar in-camera sessions.

At each Audit Committee meeting, the Audit Committee holds in-camera sessions with the Company’s auditor and without Management present to allow committee members to ask the auditor questions on any topic and to invite the auditor to make comments of any nature related to their work. In addition, The Audit Committee holds in-camera sessions without the auditor present to discuss with the CFO the performance of the auditor.

If the independent directors wish to convene a meeting amongst themselves, they may do so by making arrangements through the Corporate Secretary. In addition, all members of the Board regularly and independently confer amongst themselves and keep apprised of all operational and strategic aspects of the Company’s business.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

Board Assessments

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has a formal process for assessing the effectiveness of the Board as a whole, the Board committees, the Chair and individual directors. As part of this process, directors complete a detailed questionnaire that provides for quantitative and qualitative ratings of their individual performance in key areas and seeks subjective comment in each of those areas. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also reviews the results of the self-assessment process for the Board and its committees and identifies areas that need to be addressed.

The Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews individual responses on a confidential basis and provides a summary report to the Board, consolidating such responses and the results of the assessment process. Action plans to follow up on any specific issues identified in the assessment process are monitored by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The evaluation process includes individual director selfassessments, Board Chair and committee performance reviews.

Board Share Ownership Requirement

The Company has a share ownership requirement for executives and for the non-executive directors of the Company (the “ Share Ownership Policy ”). To ensure their interests are financially aligned with those of our Shareholders, all non-executive directors are required to own and maintain Shares or RSUs (or any combination of securities thereof) equal in value to three times their annual retainer fee within the later of five years of joining the Board or February 2027 (the “ Target Ownership Date ”). If, following the Target Ownership Date, a director’s share ownership requirement is increased due to their appointment as Chair or an increase in directors’ annual retainers, the director will have an additional two-year period from the date of such appointment or increase to meet the additional share ownership requirement.

Once a non-executive director has attained the level of share ownership prescribed by the Company’s Share Ownership Policy, such individual is not required to increase their holdings to reflect subsequent fluctuations in the market price of the Company’s Shares, which may cause a decrease in the value of such holdings. However, if a nonexecutive director fails to attain the relevant level of share ownership within the prescribed timeframe, such noncompliance will be considered by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee when determining whether to recommend the relevant director as a nominee for election at the Company’s subsequent annual meeting.

When a non-executive director’s level of Share ownership satisfies the applicable ownership requirements, they are expected to maintain the minimum Share ownership levels for as long as they remain a director or executive and for at least one fiscal quarter following retirement or other departure from the position. The share ownership requirement of each executive director is evaluated annually. A copy of the Share Ownership Policy is available on the Company’s website at www.K92mining.com.

In its stewardship role, the Board is committed to fostering a culture of accountability and ethical behaviour throughout the Company.

We believe that responsible and transparent corporate governance practices provide us with a framework for making timely and effective decisions and serve as a foundation for our commitment to the Shareholders and other stakeholders in representing their interests with integrity, honesty and ethical conduct.

Audit Committee (100% Independent)
Compensation and Benefits Committee (100% Independent)
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (100% Independent)
Sustainability Committee (67% Independent)
Health and Safety Committee (67% Independent)

2024 Committee Structure

Upon director elections in 2024, the Board intends to appoint committees of the Board as recommended by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The planned committee structure is set out below.

				COMMITTEES

Mark Eaton		M	C
Anne Giardini			M	C	M
Saurabh Handa		C	M

John Lewins	N				M	C
Graham Wheelock		M		M		M

M - Committee Member

C - Committee Chair

 - Independent N - Non-Independent

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee nominates to the Board for approval, a director as Chair of each committee based on an assessment of the appropriate skills and independence for the given committee. The Board has the authority to appoint ad hoc committees as needed.

Loans to Directors and Officers

We do not grant loans to our directors, officers or employees. As a result, we do not have any loans outstanding from the Company to them.

Independent Chair

The Chair of the Board, Anne Giardini, is an independent director. She has never served as an executive officer or consultant of the Company and the Board has affirmatively determined that she is independent. The Board has adopted guidelines that, subject to the discretion of the Board, provide that the Chair of the Board will be appointed by the Board and be responsible for the overall process involved in the work of the Board as well as the development and effective performance of the Board.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

Separate Chair and CEO

The roles and responsibilities of the Chair and the CEO of K92 are separated to allow for more effective oversight and to hold management more accountable. The Board believes this leadership structure is appropriate because it effectively allocates authority, responsibility and oversight between management and the independent directors.

As Chair, Anne Giardini seeks to ensure that the Board operates independently of management, promotes communication between management and the Board, engages with Shareholders and leads the Board’s consideration of key governance matters.

As CEO, John Lewins is principally responsible for the management of the business and affairs of the Company in accordance with the strategic plan and objectives approved by the Board.

The Chair and CEO positions each have a formal position description that describes the terms and responsibilities of each role. These are available on the Company’s website at www.K92mining.com.

Nomination of Directors

The Board has a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee that is composed entirely of independent directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee was established to assist the Board with the nomination of directors and to develop, monitor and implement the Company’s approach to corporate governance.

The Board is committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance in all aspects of the Company’s business and affairs and recognizes the benefits of fostering greater diversity in the boardroom. A fundamental belief of the Board is that a diversity of perspectives maximizes the effectiveness of the Board and decision-making in the best interests of the Company. Accordingly, consideration of the number of women on the Board, along with consideration of whether other diverse attributes are sufficiently represented, is an important component in the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s search for and selection of candidates.

The role of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is intended to, amongst other things: (i) identify individuals qualified to become members of the Board and Board committees and recommend that the Board select such persons as nominees for appointment or election to the Board; (ii) develop and recommend to the Board corporate governance guidelines for the Company and make recommendations to the Board with respect to corporate governance practices; and (iii) recommend the establishment of such permanent or ad hoc committees of the Board as it deems necessary for the purposes of assisting in the corporate governance of the Company. All members shall have a working familiarity with corporate governance practices.

In fulfilling its responsibilities to identify individuals qualified to become members of the Board, the committee will consider: (i) the independence of each nominee; (ii) the experience and background of each nominee; (iii) the skill set of each nominee relative to the balance of skills required by the Board and its committees to meet their respective mandates; (iv) the overall diversity of the Board, including gender diversity; (v) the past performance of directors being considered for re-election; (vi) applicable regulatory requirements; and (vii) such other criteria as may be established by the Board or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee from time to time.

Director nominees must have a track record in general business management, expertise in an area of strategic interest to the Company, and the ability to devote the time required and a willingness to serve. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers the size of the Board from time to time, and currently considers the size of the Board to be appropriate.

Having received management’s nominees and using their extensive knowledge of the industry and personal contacts to identify additional nominees, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommended to the Board the nomination of the proposed directors for election at the Meeting following a review of the experience, qualifications and background of each proposed director.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

Director Orientation and Continuing Education

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board are responsible for ensuring that all new directors receive a comprehensive orientation, that they fully understand the role of the Board and its committees, and that they understand the nature and operation of the Company’s business. In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for providing continuing education opportunities designed to maintain or enhance the skills and abilities of the directors and to ensure that their knowledge and understanding of the business remains current to address ongoing and emerging issues in the functional areas of the Board.

Management provides each new director with access to an electronic director orientation portal containing information that is continually updated regarding the Company and a range of topics, including:

the Board mandate and committee charters
key position descriptions
Company policies, guidelines and governance practices
Company organizational documents
Corporate and organizational structure
Board and committee meeting minutes and resolutions
information on the Company’s share capital and security-based compensation arrangements
strategic plans, operation reports and budgets
publicly filed documents of the Company, technical reports and the Company’s internal reports
public communications with the communities in which we operate
corporate governance guidelines literature and website information
applicable industry articles and reports
mine operations reports
the Board and committee meeting calendar

New directors are encouraged to review and familiarize themselves with this information and to have individual meetings with senior management and other directors. Directors are encouraged to communicate with management, auditors, and technical consultants, to keep themselves current with industry trends and developments and changes in legislation, to attend related industry seminars and visit the Company’s operations.

Management informs and educates the Board on a continuing basis as necessary to keep the directors current with information on the Company, its business and the environment in which it operates. At each of its meetings, the Board receives a presentation from management which is focused on deepening the Board’s knowledge of the business, the industry, and the key risks and opportunities facing the Company. The directors are regularly and timely provided with updates from members of management regarding strategic issues or events affecting the Company, including its competitive environment, the Company’s performance relative to its peers and any other developments that could materially impact the Company’s business.

Directors, including new Board members, regularly are provided an opportunity to interact with management, its external auditors and its legal counsel to discuss key operational, financial and industry matters regarding the Company’s business, or any information they may consider necessary in order to properly perform their duties.

In addition, directors may take courses, attend seminars, conferences and other continuing education programs relevant to the Company and its business, particularly with respect to corporate governance, Board responsibilities, Company risk, financial and accounting practices, and the mining industry, at the Company’s expense. The Company and all of our directors are members of the Institute of Corporate Directors (“ ICD ”), which offers professional development and continuing education programs, and the Company pays the cost of this membership. Published third-party reports and articles that are likely to be of interest are routinely forwarded to the directors for review.

In 2023, the Company held multiple educational sessions for the Board, focusing on general and emerging topics related to environmental, social and governance (“ ESG ”), including the new Canadian Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act . Cybersecurity was prioritized as a standalone session given the emerging nature of cybersecurity risks and impacts on companies and their stakeholders globally.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees the director education and development programs. The committee ensures that all directors receive updates to Company policy documents and information related to changes to applicable laws and stock exchange requirements, including major public policy and regulatory initiatives relating to the Company’s business.

The Board meets at least annually outside the offices of the Company for in-person comprehensive strategy sessions to formulate and approve the short-term and long-term objectives of the Company.

Directors are encouraged to visit the Company’s operations including a tour of a Company mine site and its facilities to provide them with an extended opportunity to interact with employees, government officials and community members. The directors last visited the Company’s mining operations in April 2023.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

Our directors and officers, among others, are expected to make decisions and take actions that are in the Company’s best interests, and which are not based on or unduly influenced by personal relationships or benefits. It is also a requirement of applicable corporate law that directors and senior officers who have an interest in a transaction or agreement with the Company promptly disclose that interest at any meeting of the Board at which the transaction or agreement will be discussed and, in the case of directors, abstain from discussions and voting in respect to the transaction or agreement if the interest is material.

Certain members of the Board are directors or officers of, or have shareholdings in, other mineral resource companies and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which the Company may participate, the directors of the Company may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the extent of such participation. Where such a conflict involves a particular director (e.g. where a director has an interest in a material contract or material transaction involving the Company), such Board member will be required to disclose their interest to the Board and refrain from voting at the Board meeting of the Company considering such contract or transaction. It is not always easy to determine whether a conflict of interest exists, so any potential conflicts of interest are encouraged to be reported immediately to a member of the Board who is independent of the potential conflict and who will assess the issue with the advice of legal counsel. If deemed appropriate, the Company may establish a special committee of independent directors to review a matter in which several directors, or management, may have a conflict.

Board Mandate

The Board is responsible for the stewardship of the Company and, in doing so, must act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company. The Board has adopted a written mandate (the “ Board Mandate ”), sets out the Board’s responsibilities that include approving long-term goals and objectives for the Company, ensuring the plans and strategies necessary to achieve those objectives are in place, and supervising the conduct of the Company's affairs and of Management. Management was delegated responsibility for the implementation of longterm strategies and day-to-day Management of the Company.

The Board retains a supervisory role and ultimate responsibility for all matters relating to the Company and its business. The Board discharges its responsibilities both directly and through its Audit Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, Compensation and Benefits Committee, Sustainability Committee, and Health and Safety Committee. The Board may also appoint ad hoc committees periodically to address issues of a more short-term nature.

The Board fulfills the Board Mandate and its duties to the Company directly and through its committees at regularly scheduled meetings or by unanimous written authority, as required. Frequency of meetings may be increased, and the nature of the agenda items may be changed depending on the state of the Company’s affairs and depending on opportunities or risks it faces. The directors are kept informed of the Company’s operations at these meetings, as well as through reports and discussions with management on matters within their particular areas of expertise.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for assessing the Board’s performance in fulfilling the Board Mandate. It reviews with the Board, on a regular basis and at least annually, the role of the Board, assesses the adequacy of the Board Mandate, the charters of each of the committees of the Board, the role of the Chair, and the methods and processes by which the Board fulfills its duties and responsibilities through Board assessments. When appropriate, the Board Mandate and committee charters are updated to reflect evolving governance best practices. The Board Mandate is attached as Schedule “A”.

1. Ethical Business Conduct - Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

The Board considers good corporate governance to be integral to the success of the Company and a requirement to meet its responsibilities to the Company and its Shareholders.

The Board encourages and promotes a culture of ethical business conduct through communication, meetings and other informal discussions with management, and supervision as part of its overall stewardship responsibility. The Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “ Code ”) which sets out principles and standards for honest and ethical behavior and addresses the Company’s continuing commitment to integrity and ethical standards. The Code is applicable to all employees, consultants, officers and directors (“ Representatives ”) regardless of their position in the organization, at all times and everywhere the Company does business. The Code requires the Company’s Representatives to uphold its commitment to a culture of honesty, integrity, accountability and respect for the communities in which the Company operates. The Company requires the highest standards of professional and ethical conduct from its Representatives.

Directors, officers or employees who have concerns about violations of laws, rules or regulations or of the Code are to report them to any of an immediate supervisor, the CEO, or a member of the Audit Committee or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Each case will be investigated, kept confidential and reported to the Chair of the Audit Committee as appropriate. The Audit Committee has primary authority and responsibility for monitoring compliance with and enforcement of the Code, subject to the supervision of the Board. The Audit Committee reviews compliance with the Code at each of its meetings. Employees and directors are required to annually certify their understanding of and adherence to the Code. The Board reviews the Code on an annual basis to determine whether any changes are necessary or desirable.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

2. Disclosure, Confidentiality and Insider Trading Policy

The Company maintains an insider trading policy (the " Disclosure, Confidentiality and Insider Trading Policy ") and reporting guidelines that place restrictions on "insiders" and those in a special relationship with K92 from trading in Shares and other securities of the Company. Our policy meets the requirements of the stock exchanges on which our Shares are listed as well as those of corporate law and includes the following measures:

Establishment of quarterly and annual trading blackout periods when financial results are being prepared and have not yet been publicly disclosed. These blackouts extend to all employees engaged in the preparation of our financial results and all officers and directors. The blackouts are effective two weeks before the Audit Committee meeting at which financial statements are approved and the end at the close of trading on the second trading day after we issue the news release or disclose our financial results.
Publishing and communicating the dates for regular blackout periods and sending a reminder to all reporting insiders of their obligations.
Establishment of special trading blackouts at times when employees, for business reasons, may be in possession of material non-public information.
Prohibiting informing other persons of any undisclosed material information about the Company
Requiring all reporting insiders to pre-clear securities trading transactions.
Annual certification of acknowledgement of and compliance with the Disclosure, Confidentiality and Insider Trading Policy.

3. Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy

K92 is committed to maintaining the highest ethical and legal standards. The Company has adopted an Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy that provides guidance and procedures to ensure that the Company’s directors, officers, employees, consultants and contractors conduct themselves in an honest and ethical manner when dealing with government officials, community stakeholders, and all other parties, and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations pertaining to bribery and corruption. The policy prohibits, amongst other things, all forms of bribery or corrupt practices, either directly or indirectly on the Company’s behalf, to advance its business interests or those of its associates.

The Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy prohibits the provision of facilitation payments, gifts above a certain threshold, kickbacks, and political and charitable contributions to government officials (for example, benefits that could inappropriately influence the decision-making of the recipient). Training and other awareness initiatives on this policy is provided on an ongoing basis to offer guidance on how to recognize and deal with bribery and corruption issues, and to report such issues to the Audit Committee. Directors, employees and consultants must read the Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy when they join the Board or begin working for the Company. They must acknowledge that they understand this policy and attest to their compliance annually.

4. Board Diversity Policy

The Company recognizes the value of diversity among its directors and management. Our workforce is made up of individuals of varied gender, background, skills, values and experiences. The Company also believes that a Board made up of highly qualified individuals with diverse perspectives promotes better corporate governance, superior performance and effective decision-making. Diversity includes, but is not limited to visible and invisible characteristics such as: skills, competencies, gender, age, nationality, cultural background, education, geographic representation, business and other experience, particular areas of expertise, character and merit, and other characteristics in the environment in which the Company operates.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

The Board believes that gender diversity is a significant aspect of diversity and women with appropriate and relevant skills and experience have an important role in contributing to the diversity of perspective on the Board. Accordingly, consideration of the number of women on the Board, along with consideration of whether other diverse attributes are sufficiently represented, are key components by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for the search for and selection of candidates. The Board has adopted a diversity Policy (the “ Diversity Policy ”) that communicates the importance that the Company places on the diversity of its Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the adequacy of the Diversity Policy at least annually and monitors its effectiveness through the Board assessment process. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board will also consider the appropriateness of establishing targets with respect to other underrepresented groups.

The Diversity Policy has a target for the Company to maintain a Board in which at least 30% of the Board members are women. The target was exceeded in 2022. As of the Record Date, three directors are women; Anne Giardini, Cyndi Laval and Nan Lee, representing 43% of the Board.

5. Whistleblower Policy

The Company has adopted a whistleblower policy (the “ Whistleblower Policy ”). The Whistleblower Policy provides a procedure, mandate and responsibilities around handling anonymous complaints anyone who believes that a violation of the Code or the Company’s Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy has occurred, or who has concerns regarding financial statement disclosure issues, accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, whereby such violations can be reported to the Chair of the Audit Committee, either through the whistleblowing process and dedicated email address, or reported otherwise. Concerns are confidentially reviewed by the Chair of the Audit Committee in a manner deemed to be appropriate based on the nature and merits of the submission and with such assistance as the Chair of the Audit Committee deems appropriate.

The Company will not condone any retaliation as a result of a good-faith whistleblower report.

6. Health and Safety Policy

K92 is committed to ensuring the highest possible standards of health and safety management and providing safe and healthy working conditions in all areas of our operations. While we prioritize a robust culture of safety and health underlying our business functions, as a community leader, we also promote the well-being of people in our host communities. Our health and safety practices and policies are based on targeting the achievement of a “zero harm” workplace and robust occupational health among our workforce.

In 2023, the Board established a Health and Safety Policy that sets out the Company’s commitment to protect and promote the safety, and occupational health of its workforce and local communities through the implementation of a management system and structure that are focused on, amongst other matters: (a) compliance with health and safety laws at a minimum; (b) the identification, elimination and management of health and safety risks to as low as reasonably practicable; (c) key areas to reduce potential harm and optimize health and wellbeing; (d) providing training, education and resources to ensure a healthy and safe work environment; and (e) continuously monitoring, reviewing and improving health and safety management systems and performance.

7. Human Rights Policy

The Company is committed to respecting human rights principles in all jurisdictions in which it does business. In 2023, K92 adopted a Human Rights Policy that recognizes local and internationally recognized human rights standards. The policy outlines the Company’s commitments to principles in support of human rights, sets out the expectations of personnel regarding the principles, and summarizes how concerns will be handled.

The policy aligns with the Company’s commitment to upholding the rights and dignity of every person, regardless of race, gender, nationality, or any other human rights status. It applies to all employees, directors and suppliers and supplements other relevant Company policies.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

8. Majority Voting Policy

The Board has adopted a Majority Voting Policy that provides that, in an uncontested election of directors of the Company at a Shareholders’ meeting, any nominee for director who receives more “withheld” votes than votes “for” such election will be considered not to have received the support of the Shareholders. Such nominee is required to tender their resignation to the Board promptly following the Meeting.

Within 90 days of the relevant Shareholders’ meeting, the balance of the Board will determine whether to accept the nominee’s resignation and either announce the resignation of the director or explain the Board’s reasons for not accepting the resignation. The Board is expected to accept the resignation unless there are exceptional circumstances. In considering its decision, the Board may seek a recommendation from the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

The resignation will be effective on a date determined by the Board. The Board will announce its final decision in a news release within the 90-day period and will also inform the TSX. The applicable director will not be permitted to participate in any deliberations regarding such directors’ resignation offer. If a resignation is accepted, the Board may appoint a new director to fill any vacancy created by the resignation or reduce the size of the Board.

9. Advance Notice Provision

The Company’s Articles (Section 14) include an advance notice provision (the “ Advance Notice Provision ”) that requires any Shareholder seeking to nominate one or more individuals to serve as directors at a Shareholder meeting to provide reasonable advance notice of the individuals to be nominated, and information important for other Shareholders to be able to make an informed decision on the nominees. The Advance Notice Provision provides Shareholders, directors and management of the Company with a clear framework and timeframe for nominating directors. Among other things, the Advance Notice Provision fixes a deadline by which holders of Shares must submit director nominations to the Company before 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.

Pursuant to the Advance Notice Provision, in the case of an annual meeting of Shareholders, notice to the Company must be made not less than 30 days prior to the date of the annual meeting; provided, however, that if the annual meeting is to be held on a date that is less than 50 days after the date on which the first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was made by the Company, notice may be made not later than the close of business on the 10[th] day following such public announcement. In the case of a special meeting of Shareholders (which is not also an annual meeting), notice by the nominating Shareholder to the Company must be made not later than the close of business on the 15[th] day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting was made. This provides Shareholders a reasonable opportunity and sufficient information to evaluate all director nominees as well as the Board’s recommendations.

10. Say on Pay Policy

In 2022, the Company established a “Say on Pay Policy” that provides our Shareholders with the opportunity to have an advisory vote on the Company’s approach to executive compensation decisions. The Board endorses a “pay for performance” approach for executive compensation and believes that the Company’s Shareholders should have a formal opportunity to provide their views on the disclosed objectives of the executive compensation plans, and on the plans themselves. For a detailed discussion on K92’s approach to compensation, Shareholders are encouraged to review the section on “Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on page 67 of this Information Circular.

Following each annual shareholder meeting, the results of the say on pay advisory vote will be publicly filed with the annual Report on Voting Results under the Company’s profile on the SEDAR website at www.sedarplus.ca. For additional details on the policy see “Advisory Resolution on Executive Compensation” on page 23.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

If a significant number of Shareholders cast votes against the resolution, the Board will consult with its Shareholders, particularly those who are known by the Company to have voted against it, in order to understand their concerns. The Board will also review its approach to executive compensation in the context of those concerns. Shareholders are encouraged to contact the Board using the contact information provided on the last page of this Information Circular to discuss any concerns about the Company’s approach to executive compensation.

The Board will disclose to Shareholders as soon as is practicable, ideally within six months of the vote, and no later than in the management information circular for its next annual meeting, a summary of the significant comments relating to executive compensation received from Shareholders and an explanation of any changes to the Company’s approach to executive compensation made or to be made or why no changes will be made.

11. Clawback Policy

The Board has adopted an executive compensation recovery “Clawback” policy that that provides for the recovery of short- and long-term incentive awards from executives or directors if the Company is required to restate its financial statements to correct a material error; the officer, director, or employee is responsible for intentional fraud, misconduct or negligence that directly or partially causes the need for the restatement or correction; and the compensation paid to the officer, director, or employee would have been lower had it been based on the properly reported financial results (the difference being the "excess incentive compensation"). See “Clawback Policy” in the following Statement of Executive Compensation for further details.

12. Non-overboarding Policy

It is the Company’s policy that directors who serve as CEOs of a non-affiliated company hold a maximum of two outside public company directorships and that directors who are not CEOs of non-affiliated companies generally hold no more than four additional outside public company directorships. The Chair may decide that serving on more than four additional boards would not affect such director’s ability to perform effectively and in making this determination, will consider the size and commitment required of the companies.

13. Share Ownership Policy

The Board believes that it is in the best interest of the Company to align the financial interests of K92’s leadership with those of the Company’s Shareholders by maintaining a requirement to own minimum thresholds for equity interest in the Company.

The senior executives and directors of the Company are required to own Shares that have a fair market value equal to the following multiples of their annual base salary or fees:

Non-Executive Directors	Three(3)x annual cash fees
CEO	Three(3)x annual base salary
CFO	Three(3)x annual base salary
President	Three(3)x annual base salary
Senior VP	Three(3)x annual base salary
Other VPs(at the discretion of CEO)	One(1)x annual base salary

The minimum Share ownership its required to be met and maintained within the later of: (i) five (5) years after the effective date of the policy; or (ii) five years after appointment or election as a director or executive.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

Once the director or executive’s level of Share ownership is satisfied, each are expected to maintain such minimum Share ownership levels for as long as they hold the position of director or executive. In addition, the Share ownership must be held for a minimum of two fiscal quarters following cessation of service with the Company.

Workplace Diversity and Inclusion

The Company acknowledges the benefits of diversity at the executive level, and therefore female and other diverse representation is a factor taken into consideration during the search process to fill leadership roles within the Company. When Management and the Board select candidates for executive officer positions, they consider not only the qualifications, personal qualities, gender, business background and experience of the candidates, but also the composition of the group of nominees, to best bring together a selection of candidates allowing the Company’s management to perform efficiently and act in the best interest of the Company and its stakeholders.

K92 aims to advance women, and other individuals representing a diversity of backgrounds, into leadership roles in the Company through mentoring and continuing educational development. In particular, the Company has established the “Women in Mining” program in PNG, which supports women’s groups in the communities and is supporting literacy, bookkeeping, business development and other initiatives that will lead to an increase of female representation in K92’s workforce and leadership team.

The Company strives to create a safe, healthy, and inclusive working environment guided by our commitment to fostering an inclusive and mutually beneficial culture focused on continually advancing in the areas of health and safety, sustainability, diversity, and innovation. K92 recognizes the existence of inherent, acquired and gender diversity among its employees, contractors, customers, and communities with which the Company works. As such, the Company encourages differences in age, ethnicity, orientation, marital status, learning and thinking styles, physical and mental abilities, socio-economic class, education, life experiences and other characteristics.

As stated in the Code of Conduct, all employees and contractors are expected to treat all peers and stakeholders with dignity and respect. K92 applies the principles of diversity and inclusion through (i) use of respectful language and behavior towards employees, contractors, customers, and communities; (ii) acknowledging and addressing personal biases and discomforts; (iii) creating recruitment programs targeting a diverse talent pool; (iv) providing scholarships, employment, and mentorship opportunities to individuals from underrepresented backgrounds; (v) encouraging ongoing professional development to enhance diversity training and cultural awareness among management and staff; and (vi) rewarding excellence and promoting employees objectively, based on performance and deliverables.

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Measures

K92 is committed to integrating sustainability into our daily actions to help create long-term value for our Shareholders and the communities where we operate. We are dedicated to robust safety and environmental standards, to establishing and maintaining good relationships with our communities and host governments, and creating real, lasting and tangible benefits for the people whose lives our operations touch. We believe this is achieved through safe and environmentally responsible mining; strong community engagement; investing in each community’s future through education and training; providing infrastructure and services development; and providing employment and economic opportunities.

Management and the Board are committed to continuing to improve the Company’s performance and oversight of the sustainability and overall ESG aspect of its business. The Company’s internal management systems and policy frameworks are informed by – and evolve in line with – an array of external frameworks, including the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) framework.

The following information highlights our programs, policies, and initiatives that are rooted in our commitment to sustainable business practices that are being enhanced on an ongoing basis. Additional information on our approach to ESG is contained in our Sustainability Report that provides an overview of how K92 manages key aspects of sustainability matters, along with key metrics from the SASB Metals and Mining Standard. K92’s first Sustainability

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

Report was published in 2020 and is updated annually. The Sustainability Reports can be found in the “Responsible Mining” section our website at www.K92mining.com.

The Board has delegated to the Sustainability Committee the Board’s oversight responsibilities related to climaterelated risks and opportunities. The Sustainability Committee reports to the Board on its assessments of the Company’s environmental, sustainability and climate-related issues. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee makes recommendations to the Board regarding corporate governance updates and improvements. At each Board and Sustainability meeting, the Board receives updates from management on the Company’s progress on identifying, measuring and targeting climate risks and opportunities.

Management’s Role in ESG

The Company maintains an ESG Working Group that includes the President and Chief Operating Officer, the General Manager of External Affairs and Sustainable Development, the Manager, Sustainability and ESG and other Managers and Vice Presidents of relevant areas. This group is collectively responsible for organizing ESG and sustainability structures and ESG-specific disclosures.

Our values represent the principles that shape our work and the attitudes that we expect of our workforce so that we can achieve the results of our mission and vision. These values will continue to serve as the foundation of our decisions, behaviours and interactions within our company and with our stakeholders.

Our policies reflect the K92 vision, mission and “K92 CARES” value statement:

Materiality Assessment

K92 conducts regular materiality assessments to prioritize sustainability topics that are most important to the Company and stakeholders. The materiality assessment approach is aligned with the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Metals and Mining Standard framework, the primary sustainability disclosure framework we use for sustainability reporting purposes. The long-term nature of our materiality judgments is emphasized.

Our materiality assessment process, which we conducted in 2021 (to be re-assessed in 2024), was facilitated by a qualified third-party organization and included the following steps:

Identification: A range of issues was identified through desktop research of peer practices, ESG rating agencies and ESG frameworks, and refined through internal interviews with K92 management.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

Prioritization: Issues were prioritized through surveys to capture internal and external stakeholder insights relating to K92’s operations, performance and impact. Select participants were surveyed to gain further context in areas where K92 can improve its approach and outcomes.

Validation: The final list of material topics was confirmed by the Company’s leadership team during a working session with ESG experts. A roadmap was drafted to identify immediate and midterm steps to strengthen ESG governance and measurement.

Alignment with SDGs

The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) serve as a call for nations to collaborate in ending poverty, protecting the environment, and enhancing the welfare and prospects of all individuals across the globe. Aligning with this recognized framework allows us to prioritize and coordinate our efforts, benefiting all stakeholders, including communities, governments and investors. K92’s primary focus is on community initiatives, which enhance the quality of life in these communities and equip residents with essential skills for future opportunities beyond the mining sector. K92’s community projects focus on the SDGs of: Zero Hunger, Good Health and Well-Being, Quality Education, Gender Equality, Clean Water and Sanitation, Decent Work and Economic Growth, and Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure.

K92’s annual Sustainability Report provides more details of how we manage key aspects of environmental and social responsibility, and includes performance highlights and key metrics from the SASB Metals and Mining Standard. The report can be found on the Company’s website at https://k92mining.com/responsible-mining/.

Environmental Management

At K92, we are committed to conducting our operations in an environmentally responsible manner in line with our strategic vision. To support this commitment, we have established an Environmental Management System (“ EMS ”) at our operations. Key elements of the EMS include:

defined resources, roles, and responsibilities for environmental management;
a risk assessment process to identify potential environmental hazards;
environmental risk mitigation objectives and targets;
training and awareness initiatives;
standard operating procedures, including for emergency preparedness and response;
audit and compliance programs; and
a clear process for mitigation of non-conformance and corrective actions.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

As part of our EMS, the Company has implemented a site-wide, government-approved environmental management plan (“ EMP ”) covering key environmental risks and potential impacts, including sub-plans for water management, land management, mine closure, biodiversity, air quality, hazardous materials and waste, and environmental compliance. The EMP is intended to ensure environmental risks are adequately addressed while committing to environmental protection for all of the Company’s activities.

Climate Change and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Targets

The Company is advancing its climate strategy in support of its energy and greenhouse gas (“ GHG ”) emissions reduction target that was set in June 2023. After completing detailed energy and GHG forecasts for its Stage 3 and Stage 4 Expansions, and identifying opportunities for energy reductions, the Company set a target to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 25% on a business-as-usual basis by 2030 (a 25% reduction against forecast Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030 assuming no mitigation measures are implemented to reduce carbon emissions). Additional information on the GHG target and the overall approach to sustainability is available in the Company’s Sustainability Report that can be found on the Company’s website. A core component of the climate strategy is to enhance the Company’s access to local hydroelectricity, which is being advanced through partnerships with the local electricity provider, PNG Power Ltd. A significant amount of power for the Kainantu Mine operation is sourced from hydroelectricity, a cleaner, renewable power source. A dedicated 22kV power line was installed at the mine site to increase the reliability of clean hydroelectric power from the grid and reduce the use of backup diesel gensets. Additional power upgrades to increase our renewable energy profile are being investigated.

Community Engagement and Investment

Canada’s “Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act”

By May 31, 2024, the Company will publish its first annual report required under the newly enacted Canadian Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act (the “ Act ”). The Act obliges certain entities to report on the measures they have taken to prevent and reduce the risk that forced labour or child labour are used by them or in their supply chains. In line with the International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention 29 on Forced Labour and ILO Convention 138 on Minimum Age, the Company prohibits the use of child and forced or bonded labour.

PNG Infrastructure Tax Scheme

The Company is now participating in the Infrastructure Tax Credit Scheme (ITCS) of the PNG Government through which up to 2% of the Company’s assessable income can be allocated by the Company for spending on governmentapproved PNG community projects, including local infrastructure, health programs, and educational initiatives, and deducted from future corporate tax payable. The first project for implementation was formally approved by the PNG Department of National Planning in December 2023 for local road upgrades. Construction works will commence in 2024.

Local Business Opportunities

The Company has created multiple business opportunities for communities to benefit from the operation of the mine. These include several major joint venture contracts between the communities and PNG companies for the provision of services. The major contracts include catering and camp management, security, road transportation and ancillary mobile. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, these contracts generated $24.5 million in revenue, supporting the local community.

Community Programs

The Company has been actively engaged in community programs aimed at improving the quality of life for local communities. The programs to support community development include diversity initiatives, freshwater systems, road maintenance, medical clinic funding, school refurbishment, adult literacy programs, agricultural livelihood and training programs, and support for small enterprises.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

The Company has an Adult Literacy Program in partnership with local communities. The program offers three levels of English and Tok Pisin, the local language in PNG, for those who cannot read or write. An average of 150 students have graduated from the program annually since its inception, 90% of whom are women. Over 300 participants have graduated from the program in 2024.

The Sustainable Agriculture Livelihoods Program has been a success with the local community as it enables local farmers to scale production and further access local vendors. The program had approximately 180 participants in 2023, 80% of whom are women.

The Company’s Sustainable Livelihoods Survey documents and models the various forms of capital and assets that communities have in place, those that are underutilized, and those that still need to be identified. We employ local youth to administer the survey questionnaire and record the data, which also serves as a census.

The Company has installed solar power at two local clinics, contributed to a youth spelling competition at a local community, advanced the agricultural program to eight locations including a demonstration farm and progressed with upgrading of a community road that will continue to be extended to local villages.

Educational Initiatives

K92 places a strong focus on the prosperity and development of local communities and is proud to support the talent and growth of future leaders of PNG by offering several scholarships and educational opportunities for local students. As K92 carries out its significant growth and planned expansions, the Company plans to continue to leverage its strong partnerships with all local stakeholders and contribute in a significant way to progress the longterm prosperity of Papua New Guinea.

K92 has signed multiple Memoranda of Understanding with PNG tertiary institutions to support areas of mutual benefit. These partnerships include financial support for the universities, work experience for students and undergraduates, project generation, and technical cooperation. Institutions include:

Don Bosco Technology Institute
Goroka University
University of Papua New Guinea
PNG University of Technology (UniTech)
Port Moresby Technical College (MOU pending finalization)

A variety of strategic training initiatives are implemented by the Company, including its Industrial Trainee Program, Apprenticeship Program, Graduate Development Program, and Pre-Vocational Program (among others) to help support a robust pipeline of local available talent.

In 2023, the Company awarded 43 total scholarships to local students.

Compensation Philosophy

K92 transitioned from a development company to a gold producer between 2016 and 2018, and has had an operating mine since February 2018, led by a management team capable of executing ambitious plan for the Kainantu Gold Mine. The Compensation Committee has worked to ensure that the Company’s compensation program aligns with K92’s stage of development and is sufficiently competitive to ensure that the Company is able to recruit, retain and motivate high calibre executive officers and directors and to align the interests of the Company with those of its Shareholders.

We believe that a compensation structure that contains the right mix of fixed and variable compensation, with shortand long-term components, will create the desired motivation and focus in our executive officers. As part of that structure, the Compensation Committee and Board have a median pay philosophy aligning the targeted total direct compensation of the executive officers at approximately the 50[th] percentile of the Company’s compensation Peer Group (as defined below).

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

The objectives of the Company's executive compensation policies are to:

attract, retain and motivate high-calibre executive officers that are critical to the success of the Company;
▪ provide fair, competitive and cost-effective compensation;
align the interests of Management with those of the Shareholders while not encouraging excessive or inappropriate risk taking in order to maximize shareholder return; and
provide rewards for outstanding corporate and individual performance.

This is accomplished by considering:

internal and external comparisons;
Management’s long‐term interests and the long‐term interests of Shareholders;
K92’s financial and operating performance, and business strategy;
the scope and complexity of the executives’ roles;
each executive officer’s individual performance and contribution towards meeting corporate objectives; and
recommendations made by independent compensation consultants.

Attract, Retain and Inspire Key Talent

Executive compensation meets the goal of attracting, retaining and motivating key talent in a highly competitive mineral exploration and extraction environment through the following elements:

a competitive cash compensation program, consisting of base salary and bonus opportunity that are in the median range of remuneration of similar roles in other companies;
promotion of talent and leadership development that contributes to long-term sustainability, profitability and growth of the Company;
time and performance-based vested equity awards; and
• opportunity to participate in the Company's growth through share-based compensation.

Alignment of Interests of Management with Interests of the Company’s Shareholders

Executive compensation meets the goal of aligning the interest of Management with the interest of the Company's Shareholders through the grant of share-based compensation which may include Options, RSUs and PSUs, according to the following principles:

if the price of the Shares increases, both executive officers and Shareholders benefit;
inclusion of performance-vested units enhances alignment with Shareholder interests;
linking short-term incentives to ESG (environmental, social, and governance) outcomes to enhance alignment with the Company’s ESG priorities; and
providing at least a three-year vesting period on share-based grants, ensures Management focus on increasing the price of the Shares over the longer term, rather than on short-term increases.

Pay for Performance

Our executive compensation program is performance-based and payouts are directly linked to both the Company’s and the individual’s achievements and performance. A significant proportion of executive target pay is “at risk”, in the form of performance based short-term and long-term incentives. Our equity incentives reward achievement of long-term results, which align with K92’s goals and the interests of our Shareholders. Although the gold price does have a significant influence on our share price, it is essential that Management focuses on delivering on objectives that create long-term value for Shareholders rather than short-term fluctuations in share price, and that our compensation plans reflect that focus. The Company has grown significantly over the past several years and the increases in NEO compensation over the same period reflect this growth as well as set expectations for the future.

Peer Benchmarking Group

The Company aims to remunerate executives fairly and at a level that is competitive with the median range of the marketplace. In pursuit of this goal, the Compensation Committee reviews the compensation programs for both executive officers and directors annually to ensure that the Company’s compensation philosophy is applied and that its objectives continue to be met. As part of this process, the Company reviews the compensation practices of its peer group (the “ Peer Group ”) as it relates to salary as well as short-term and long-term incentives for executive officers. In addition, the annual retainer and committee fees paid to directors are benchmarked against the Company’s Peer Group to ensure that Company’s approach to director compensation is competitive and reasonable.

Since 2022, the Company added Orla Mining Ltd. to the Peer Group The 2023 K92 Peer Group, consisting of 19 intermediate size precious metals producers, is listed below:

K92 Peer Group

Calibre MiningCorp.	Hecla MiningCompany	Perseus MiningLimited
Centaminplc	Hochschild Mining plc	SilvercorpMetals Inc.
Coeur MiningInc.	IAMGOLD Corporation	Torex Gold Resources Inc.
Dundee Precious Metals Inc.	Lundin Gold Inc.	Victoria Gold Corp.
Eldorado Gold Company	New Gold Inc.	Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd.
Equinox Gold Corp.	OceanaGold Corporation
Fortuna Silver Mines Inc.	Orla MiningLtd.

To identify appropriate peer companies, we used the following criteria:

publicly-traded, primarily North American companies, trading on the TSX or a major stock exchange;
mining in the materials sector with emphasis on the gold or precious metals;
comparable intermediate company size range to K92 in market capitalization, production, assets and revenues; and
companies with a similar mining operations profile.

Market Positioning

Our market positioning strategy for executives is to set the total compensation (base salary plus short-term incentive plus long-term incentive) to reflect the median of the Peer Group, where appropriate.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

Say on Pay Policy

The Company has established a “Say on Pay Policy” that provides our Shareholders with the opportunity to have an advisory vote on the Company’s approach to executive compensation decisions. Following each annual shareholder meeting, the results of the “Say on Pay” advisory vote will be publicly announced and filed with the Report on Voting Results under the Company’s profile on the SEDAR website at www.sedarplus.ca.

Shareholders who have questions or concerns regarding the Company’s executive compensation are encouraged to contact the Company using the contact information provided in this circular, to enable us to better understand their concerns. For additional details on the policy see “Advisory Resolution on Executive Compensation” on page 23.

Anti-Hedging Policy

The Company is of the view that its securities should be purchased by its directors and officers for investment purposes only. Transactions that could be perceived as speculative or influenced by positive or negative perceptions of the Company’s prospects, including the use of prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, or units of exchange funds, puts, calls, spread bets, and contracts for difference and hedging transactions are not considered to be in the Company’s best interests and must be avoided. Directors and officers of the Company are prohibited from engaging in personal hedging activities of any kind involving the Company’s securities or related financial instruments (other than the sale of Company securities shortly after they were acquired through the exercise of securities granted under a share-based compensation arrangement).

Clawback Policy

The Board has adopted a clawback policy (the “ Clawback Policy ”) that allows it to require reimbursement of excess incentive compensation paid or granted to any officer, director, or employee, if:

the Company is required to restate its financial statements to correct a material error;
the officer, director, or employee engaged in intentional fraud, misconduct or negligence that directly or partially caused the need for the restatement or correction; and
the compensation paid to the officer, director, or employee would have been lower had it been based on the properly reported financial results (the difference being the "excess incentive compensation").

If these three events occur, the Board and the Compensation Committee will determine how to apply the Clawback Policy to the situation. If the Board and Compensation Committee determine that the policy should be triggered, the Company will seek to recover the excess incentive compensation paid or granted during or for the years subject to the restatement.

Risk Management

The Board has considered the implications of the risks associated with the Company’s compensation policies and practices and believes that the current structure of the Company’s executive compensation arrangements is focused on long-term value and is designed to correlate to the long-term performance of the Company. Although the Company does not have formal policies specifically targeting risk-taking in a compensation context, the practice of the Compensation Committee and the Board is to consider all factors related to an executive officer’s performance, including any risk-taking and risk-mitigation efforts, in determining compensation. The Company’s executive compensation program is structured to provide an appropriate balance of risk and reward consistent with the Company’s risk profile and to ensure that compensation practices do not encourage excessive risk-taking by executive officers.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

The Board provides regular oversight of the Company’s risk management practices and delegates to the Compensation Committee the responsibility to provide risk oversight of the Company’s compensation policies and practices, and to identify and mitigate compensation policies and practices that could encourage inappropriate or excessive risk taking.

The Compensation Committee has not identified any risks in the Company’s existing compensation policies and practices that it believes would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The following factors discourage the Company’s executive officers from taking unnecessary or excessive risk:

the Company’s approach to performance evaluation and compensation provides greater rewards for achieving a balance of both short-term and long-term objectives;
short-term incentive payments are derived from performance against pre-approved semi-annual objectives for both the Company and the individuals, and the Board has discretion with respect to incentive awards and payouts if incentives are understated or overstated due to extraordinary circumstances;
a hedging prohibition prohibits executive officers from engaging in hedging activities in respect of the Company’s securities or related financial instruments;
the Clawback Policy specifies the recoupment of incentive compensation applicable to executive officers upon material financial restatements and misconduct;
the Share Ownership policy applies to all executive officers and aligns the interests of executive officers with those of Shareholders by requiring a minimum value of K92 equity to be held by executive officers; and
the Compensation Committee retains a compensation consultant that is independent of management and that does not provide advice to management.

The Compensation Committee believes that the Company’s total executive compensation program does not encourage executive officers to take unnecessary or excessive risk and has not identified any risks arising from the Company’s compensation policies and practices that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on K92.

Independent Compensation Advisors

The Compensation and Benefits Committee has authority to select, retain and terminate compensation advisors, consultants and experts at its discretion, to assist it in fulfilling its duties and responsibilities. In September 2020, the Compensation Committee engaged independent compensation advisor, Korn Ferry, to assist the Compensation and Benefits Committee in respect of its review and assessment of the Company’s approach to executive and independent director compensation, and to recommend any appropriate changes to various pay elements and strategies to ensure alignment with market practices.

Following its detailed analysis of the compensation programs for the Company’s directors and executives, Korn Ferry provided recommendations to the Compensation and Benefits Committee regarding changes to the compensation program. Korn Ferry’s services included:

review of market pay, and development of equity plan alternatives for the Board;
general advice and counsel on executive pay approach and structure, including performance metrics;
review of market pay, and development of short-term incentive and long-term incentive alternatives for the executive team.
a gap analysis with considerations of Company objectives and external factors;
evaluation of target pay levels;
▪ review of the executive roles relative to the Company’s operations, development and goals;

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

analysis of external compensation benchmarking data for executive officers and directors using Korn Ferry’s proprietary survey of 44 Canadian mining organizations and K92’s selected Peer Group shown under “Peer Benchmarking Group”; and
a report consisting of pay level analysis and key findings for all K92 executive roles with respect to the pay elements of annual salary, total cash combining salary and annual bonus, and long-term incentive value of equity components of compensation.

The results of the Korn Ferry analysis showed that the total compensation (cash, short-term incentives, and longterm incentives) of each of the Company’s NEOs was below the range of the Peer Group. As a result, the NEOs salaries were increased to be closer to the median range of the Company’s Peer Group.

In addition, in October 2021, the Company adopted the use of RSUs and PSUs for its officers, directors, employees and consultants (see “ Elements of Compensation” ) pursuant to a new share compensation plan (the “ Share Compensation Plan ”).

In May 2023, the Compensation Committee engaged Korn Ferry to conduct an analysis of the Company’s remuneration and incentive program for the CEO. In analyzing the CEO compensation, Korn Ferry reviewed the CEO payment elements of annual salary, short-term incentives in the form of cash bonus, and long-term incentives in the form of Options and share-based awards. The CEO compensation was compared to the Company’s Peer Group.

Following its analysis, Korn Ferry concluded that the CEO cash compensation consisting of salary and short-term bonus incentive were below median while the long-term equity incentive paid in 2023 was above the median. After consideration, the Compensation Committee recommended revisions to the CEO long-term pay structure for 2024.

The fees charged by Korn Ferry for its services are set out below. No compensation advisors were retained in 2021 or 2022.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

2023 Corporate Performance

In 2023, the Company took significant steps forward, realizing multiple financial, operational, resource growth, and exploration achievements. Financially, K92 closed out the year in a strong financial position, with a net cash and short-term treasury bill balance of US $79 million, while also making considerable investments towards expanding production and exploration. In September 2023, the Company significantly strengthened its financial flexibility through announcing a US $100 million loan with Trafigura and realized improved offtake terms through an amended offtake agreement.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

Operationally, the Kainantu Gold Mine surpassed its updated 2023 production guidance, delivering 117,607 ounces of gold equivalent (“ AuEq "), while also recording cash costs of US $585 per gold ounce and all-in sustaining costs of US $1,162 per gold ounce that were better than the original guidance. The mine concluded the year on a strong note, achieving record quarterly production, ore mined, throughput, and development, with Q4 producing 39,101 ounces of AuEq at strong cash costs and all-in sustaining costs of US $430 and US $1,062 per gold ounce, respectively.

In 2023, K92 achieved several additional important milestones:

Completed commissioning of the Stage 2A Expansion in May, increasing annual throughput capacity of the process plant by +25%, to 500,000 tonnes annually.
Awarded the US $81 million engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning ( EPC ) contract for the 1,200,000-tonnes-per-annum (“ tpa ”) Stage 3 Expansion process plant to GR Engineering Services Limited ( GRES ) on a lump-sum basis. Combined with the long-lead items, K92 awarded approximately 94% of the total process plant capital cost, the largest growth capital item for the Stage 3 Expansion that is forecasted to represent over half of the total growth capital cost, on a fixed-price basis to significantly mitigate cost inflation risk.
Entered into the US $100 million senior secured loan agreement and amended offtake agreement with Trafigura, further strengthening K92’s financial position ahead of the Stage 3 Expansion and improving future metals payability.
Significantly increased the calculated mineral resources at Kora and Judd in Q4 2023, increasing the Kora measured and indicated resource estimate by +8% (to 2.3 million ounces) and the inferred resource estimate by +58% (to 3.9 million ounces) from October 2021, and increasing the Judd measured and indicated resource estimate by +167% (to 0.35 million ounces) and the inferred resource estimate by +211% (to 0.56 million ounces) from December 2021.
Effectively completed the twin incline at year-end, with incline #2 (6m x 6.5m) advanced to 2,863 metres and incline #3 (5m x 5.5m) advanced to 2,838 metres.
Announced our inaugural energy and GHG emissions reduction target as part of our overall climate commitments. K92 set a target to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 25% on a business-as-usual basis by 2030.

On exploration, we had up to 11 drill rigs in operation, a significant increase from having only 2 rigs operating in 2018, with programs targeting both near-mine and regional targets. Near-mine exploration significantly grew the Kora-Kora South and Judd-Judd South deposits. Importantly, both Kora-Kora South and Judd-Judd South, remain open in multiple directions with significant resource expansion potential. In the second half of 2023, underground drilling marked an important milestone with the commencement of drilling at depth from the twin incline, targeting Kora and Judd Deeps. Initially, drilling will focus on infill and then pivot to deep step-outs where we see significant resource growth potential.

Regionally, exploration marked an important milestone at the end of Q4 2023, with the commencement of our maiden drilling program at our high-priority Arakompa target. This represents the first drilling conducted in over 32 years at Arakompa, and subsequent to year-end, our maiden drilling results in February 2024 reported significant mineralization highlighted by hole KARDD0002 intersecting 4 high-grade lodes recording 7.20 m at 24.76 g/t AuEq, 5.70 m at 9.94 g/t AuEq, 5.30 m at 6.06 g/t AuEq and 3.60 m at 3.38 g/t AuEq, within a bulk intersection of 19.8 m at 1.59 g/t AuEq with a higher grade core of 149.4m at 2.12 g/t AuEq. We plan to progressively increase exploration at Arakompa through 2024. On porphyry exploration, work continues to advance at our top copper-gold porphyry target A1, which commenced drilling in Q1 2023.

Elements of Compensation

The Company’s compensation program has three primary elements: fixed cash base salary, performance based short-term annual cash bonus incentives and performance based long-term equity incentives in the form of RSUs, PSUs and Options. The combination of elements is designed to encourage executive officers to achieve strong results which drive long-term sustainable growth and long-term shareholder value. The Company regularly reviews all elements of executive officer compensation to ensure these components of compensation fit into the Company’s compensation objectives to attract and retain talented executive officers, reward individual and corporate performance, and align executive compensation with shareholder interests.

The Compensation Committee has not established a strict policy regarding the mix of base salary, cash and equity incentives to be paid or awarded to executive officers. However, long-term equity incentives are intended to be the largest form of compensation to NEOs in order to link performance goals to long-term objectives. Incentive plan awards are not guaranteed; they are “at risk” and performance based. This allows the Company to be flexible in tailoring the compensation mix for each executive officer to the circumstances in effect at the time. The Compensation Committee believes that a greater percentage of compensation for the Company’s executive officers should come from the variable, performance-based elements, and the mix of compensation should be structured to balance the need to drive results based on the executive officer’s position as well as to support the long-term growth of the Company overall.

The compensation program also includes termination and Change of Control benefits, and minimal perquisites.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

Base Salary

Base salary is a fixed element of compensation for each executive officer for performing the specific responsibilities of their position and is typically determined with general reference to, among other things, base salary compensation of the Company’s peers. Base salary is intended to fit into the Company’s overall compensation objectives by serving to attract and retain high-calibre, experienced executive officers by providing compensation and incentive at competitive rates.

For executive officers, the Compensation Committee considers the following factors in setting base salaries:

the scope, complexity and level of responsibility related to each executive officer’s position;
the stage of development of the Company;
the base salaries generally paid to equivalent executive officers in the Peer Group;
the objective of retaining the executive officers and aligning their interests with the Company’s goals;
the individual experience of the executive officer; and
the executive officer’s overall performance.

Base salary is linked to other elements of compensation as it may influence the level of annual incentives and Change of Control benefits. Increases in annual base salaries are not guaranteed.

NEO base salaries were historically below the benchmarks for peers. To better position the NEOs closer to market competitiveness for their positions among our Peer Group, among other reasons, increases were made to base salaries in 2021 (effective November 1, 2020), 2022 (effective January 1, 2022) and 2023 (effective January 1, 2023).

Changes to the base salaries are shown below:

Base Salary Increases

Short-term Annual Bonus Incentives (STIs)

An STI bonus incentive is a short-term variable element of compensation that rewards the NEOs for corporate and individual performance and is typically determined based on pre-set corporate and/or individual performance objectives. Annual STIs are awarded in cash and are calculated based on the NEO’s base salary rate. STIs are awarded up to the targeted amounts or percentages on the basis of the achievement of pre-set corporate and/or personal objectives for the year. These may include both quantitative and qualitative objectives for both the Company and the individual NEO. All STI bonuses are considered and recommended by the Compensation Committee to the Board.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

STI awards are granted based on the Company’s performance against corporate and individual objectives, both of which are tied to our core strategy. Overall NEO performance is measured by a combination of: (i) corporate achievement based on technical and strategic operational achievements relative to the goals set out at the beginning of the year; (ii) market performance; and (iii) individual performance. The STI bonus is calculated semi-annually on performance from January to June and July to December and payable each following calendar quarter.

Improving Shareholder value through corporate performance is a key objective for the Company. Linking corporate and personal performance to support this goal, the Company incorporates two performance measures into its STI calculations: corporate performance and individual performance against the benchmarks, with the relative weighting between corporate and personal accomplishments reflecting the NEO’s position and ability to directly impact corporate performance. Corporate performance metrics are identical for all participants. Individual performance metrics are specific to each participant based on their role. In developing the KPIs, the Compensation Committee and management considered the value of annual consistent performance factors as well as the value of potential new performance factors that reflect evolving Company objectives.

Each year, the Company completes a rigorous budget process. The annual budget is determined in conjunction with mine development plans and the Company’s corporate strategic targets. The annual budget and therefore the specific performance benchmarks for management are in line with the Company’s outlook and are set to achieve long-term value. The cash bonus links the award amount to the NEO’s performance relative to these benchmarks.

The STI bonus amount is based on each NEO’s base salary. In 2023, the NEOs were entitled to semi-annual bonuses, with a target of up to 100% of the NEO’s base salary (the “ Target Bonus ”) during the six-month bonus period, depending on the NEO’s role, based on certain key performance indicators (“ KPIs ”) of the Company. The Compensation Committee reviews the performance of the Company and the NEO and determines if the applicable business performance objectives established by the Company have been met in each six-month period. The KPIs include the Company’s performance in the areas of safety, production, operating costs, all-in sustaining capital costs, ESG, growth, and organization and efficiency.

For outstanding performance (e.g., KPIs exceeding every metric by 10%) a maximum 150% of the Target Bonus would be paid to the NEOs as a bonus. Achieving within +/- 2.5% of target performance would result in 100% Target Bonus payable. If the KPI performance factor is below target by greater than 10%, then 25% of the Target Bonus would be payable in the six-month period.

In evaluating 2023 corporate performance, upon consultation with management, the Compensation Committee considered the performance-related results achieved by the Company in 2023, within the context of the operational and safety goals and objectives set in December 2022 and the macroeconomic factors impacting the gold sector globally. Based on its assessment of the 2023 corporate achievements outlined above, and each NEO’s individual performance, the Compensation Committee determined the size of the bonuses warranted for each of the NEOs for 2023 performance.

In 2023, as a result of an increased lost-time incident frequency rate (“ LTIFR ”) due to fatalities during the year, the weight of the KPI payout for Safety KPI was reduced from 20% to 0% and the bonus fee payable for the applicable STI bonus period in respect of all other KPIs was reduced by 30% in each category.

The 2023 Company performance indicator schedule is set out on the following page.

Long-Term Equity Incentives (LTIs)

Equity compensation grants to executive officers play an important role in helping K92 meet the objectives of its compensation program. Long-term incentives are an equity-based variable component of compensation, consisting of PSUs, RSUs and Options. Long-term incentives are designed to align the interests of executive officers with those of Shareholders by tying compensation to share price performance and to assist in the retention of talented executive officers through long-term vesting schedules.

The Share Compensation Plan was initially approved by Shareholders on October 28, 2021, and it was amended in 2023. Consistent with many of the companies in its Peer Group, K92 introduced RSUs and PSUs into long-term incentive awards program under the Share Compensation Plan. Until 2021, NEOs were granted Options as the only form of long-term incentive, pursuant to the former Stock Option Plan. The Board, following consultation with its independent compensation consultant Korn Ferry, and on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved the omnibus Share Compensation Plan in 2021 in response to compensation governance trends.

The Company does not intend to grant additional Options to the directors or NEOs.

The Share Compensation Plan provides directors, employees and consultants with the opportunity, through ownership of RSUs, PSUs and Options, to acquire an ownership interest in the Company, providing them an interest in the preservation and maximization of Share value in the longer term, and enabling the Company to attract and retain individuals with experience and expertise.

The Company believes the mix of these three long-term incentive formats provides the best vehicle to attract and retain directors, employees and consultants and provides the Company with flexibility. Through these incentive alternatives, NEOs are given an opportunity to participate in the Company’s future success, and their interests are aligned with the interests of our Shareholders. A summary of the key terms of K92’s Share Compensation Plan is set out under the heading “Share Compensation Plan”.

RSUs

RSUs are units that vest in equal tranches over a three-year period with one-third vesting on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date and are issued on the requirement that the recipient remain eligible for awards during that period of time. RSUs align executive officer compensation with the Company’s Share price and serve as a retention tool, while also addressing Shareholder concerns regarding share dilution, as the RSUs may be settled in cash, equity from treasury, equity purchased in the market, or any combination of these.

Each RSU has a value equal to the market price of one Share on settlement of the RSU (“ Market Price ”) being the volume weighted average trading price of the Shares on any exchange in Canada where the Shares are primarily listed (including the TSX) for the last five trading days prior to such day (“ VWAP ”). The number of RSUs awarded, the grant date, the applicable vesting criteria, whether and to what extent dividend equivalents will be credited to the RSU Account (as defined below) of a recipient and such other terms are determined by the Board.

PSUs

PSUs are units that vest over three years and Shares underlying the PSUs are issued in accordance with the satisfaction of specific criteria during a performance cycle tied to the recipient’s personal performance, the financial performance of the Company and achievement of corporate goals and strategic initiatives, and individual role and performance. PSUs are intended to complement the RSUs that act as a retention vehicle, with a performance-based award that aligns with both the Company’s business strategy and long-term shareholder value creation. PSUs are a performance-based long-term incentive vehicle, and the payout is not guaranteed.

Each PSU has a value equal to the Market Price (i.e. VWAP) of one Share on settlement of the PSU, and the number of PSUs to be awarded to the recipient, the grant date, the performance cycle applicable to each PSU, the

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

performance criteria to be used to determine the vesting of the PSUs, whether and to what extent dividend equivalents will be credited to a participant’s PSU account and such other terms are to be determined by the Board.

Options

An Option permits the holder of the Option to purchase an underlying Share before a future specified date (the “ expiry date” ) at a specified price (the “ exercise price” ) subject to vesting criteria. The realizable value to the Option holder, excluding tax considerations, is the amount, if any, by which the Share price exceeds the exercise price on the date the Option is exercised. If the Option expires “out of the money” (i.e. the exercise price is greater than the Share price at the expiry date), the Option holder receives no benefit, and no Shares are issued. If the Option is “inthe-money” at the time of exercise (i.e., the exercise price is less than the Share price), the Option holder will realize a benefit.

Options are rights to acquire Shares on payment of cash consideration (the exercise price) before the expiry date, subject to vesting criteria determined at the time of the award. Unlike Options, RSUs and PSUs do not require the payment of any monetary consideration to the Company. Instead, RSUs and PSUs represent the right to receive Shares, or a payment representing Shares, after meeting vesting criteria determined at the time of the award.

Restricted Share Units (RSUs) and Performance Share Units (PSUs)

RSUs and PSUs are granted under the Share Compensation Plan and may be time-based (RSU) or performance-based (PSU). The Board considers that RSUs and PSUs are an appropriate way to attract and retain NEOs, as their value is tied to the performance of the Company relative to the wider industry over the applicable performance measurement periods. The Company believes its Share Compenstion Plan provides NEOs an opportunity to build ownership in the Company and align their interests with those of Shareholders with consistent long-term performance. A description of the Share Compensation Plan, including full details of the performance measures used, is set out under the heading “ Share Compensation Plan” in this Information Circular.

The Compensation Committee recommends RSU and PSU awards to the Board after considering input from management. In addition to the considerations discussed above under “Long-Term Equity Incentives” , the Compensation Committee, in making recommendations to the Board for grants, takes into account the number of RSUs, PSUs and Options held by such NEO and the total number of equity compensation units outstanding.

The Company does not intend to grant additional Options to its NEOs. The composition of the mix of RSUs and PSUs awarded is 40% RSUs and 60% PSUs. The Compensation Committee will review the composition from time to time and may make changes as may be required.

Pursuant to the Amended Share Compensation Plan, the combined aggregate number of RSUs and PSUs outstanding at any one time may be no more than 3.70% of the number of issued and outstanding Shares.

RSU Vesting

RSUs vest over three years from the grant date, with 1/3 vesting 12 months from the date of grant, 1/3 vesting 24 months from the date of grant and 1/3 vesting 36 months from the date of grant.

PSU Vesting

PSUs, subject to the satisfaction of NEO and Share performance criteria, vest over three years from the grant date, with up to 1/3 vesting 12 months from the date of grant, up to 1/3 vesting 24 months from the date of grant and up to 1/3 vesting 36 months from the date of grant. The number of PSUs that vest will depend on the Company’s performance against the performance criteria described in the grant notice.

The Board has determined that the PSUs will vest in equal increments vest over three years. The number of PSUs that vest will be contingent on the Company’s Share price performance measured against exchange traded funds, GDX (60% weighting), and GDXJ (40% weighting) as shown in the table below.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

PSU Vesting – Performance Measurement

40%	25%	75%	100%	125%	150%	Share price movement compared to GDXJ movement

Stock Options

The Company has not granted stock options since April 2021 and does not intend to grant additional Options to its NEOs. Options have linked the interests of our NEOs to those of our Shareholders and encourage our executive officers to execute strategic business goals and objectives designed to improve share price performance. Any value received from Options is dependent on an increase in the share price. Options are intended to advance the interests of the Company by encouraging the NEOs to acquire Shares to increase their proprietary interest in the Company and encourage them to remain associated with the Company.

Options under the Company’s former Stock Option Plan historically vested in three tranches over an eighteen-month period. Under the Share Compensation Plan, Options would vest in three equal tranches over three years, with 1/3 of the number of Options vesting on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date, subject to the participant remaining eligible on the vesting date. Options have a maximum term of five years. The long-term vesting and expiry schedule promotes continued efforts to return shareholder value, and acts as a retention tool.

The Compensation Committee administers the Share Compensation Plan. The Board, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, has the authority to grant Options. Options would normally be awarded upon the commencement of an executive officer’s employment with the Company, with the size of the award determined by the level of the executive officer’s responsibility within the Company. The Board, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, has authority to make additional Option grants from time to time. When making decisions on the amount and frequency of the Option grants, the Compensation Committee would consider: the individual’s level of ongoing responsibility within the Company, the individual’s performance, measurement against the Peer Group, the number of outstanding Options already granted to that individual, the value of the Options and the number of Options available for grant under the Share Compensation Plan.

In addition to determining the number of Options to be granted pursuant to the methodology outlined above, the Board, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee and subject to the rules of the TSX, may make the following determinations:

individuals who are entitled to participate in the Stock Option Plan;
the exercise price, which can be no less than the Market Price (as defined in the TSX Company Manual);
▪ the date on which each Option is granted;
the vesting period for each Option; and
▪ the number of Options to be granted to each recipient.

The Board would make these determinations subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Share Compensation Plan. The Board would review and approve grants of Options recommended by the Compensation Committee from time to time during a financial year, as the Board considers appropriate.

Pursuant to the Share Compensation Plan, the aggregate number of Options outstanding at any one time may be no more than 4.0% of the number of issued and outstanding Shares. The Board has approved an Amended Share Compensation Plan that would reduce the number of shares underlying any Options granted to 2.3%. See “Amended Share Compensation Plan” for details on Options.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, no Option grants were awarded to the NEOs. The Company does not intend to grant further Options to NEOs but to instead award RSUs and PSUs as long-term incentives.

Pension, Benefits and Perquisites

The Company does not currently have a defined pension plan or post-employment compensation and benefits in place for any of its employees. From time to time, the Compensation Committee reviews the Company’s benefit programs, to ensure continued alignment with market practices. The Company offers only limited perquisites to the NEOs, and only where the Compensation Committee, upon review of competitive practice from time to time, believes such perquisites are market competitive and promote the retention of the NEOs or promote the efficient performance of the NEOs’ duties. The Company does not believe that perquisites and benefits should represent a significant portion of the compensation package for NEOs.

For the NEOs who are residents of Australia, for the purposes of taxation, the Company makes superannuation guarantee payments on behalf of the NEOs. In Australia, employers are required to make a payment known as a “superannuation guarantee” to a complying fund on behalf of permanent resident employees. The minimum contribution rate was 9.5% of an employee’s base salary from January 1, 2021, to June 30, 2021, increased to 10.0% from July 1, 2021, to June 30, 2022, then to 10.5% from July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023, and further to 11% from July 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023. The complying funds are selected by the employees and are not administered by the Company.

Share Compensation Plan - 2023

The current Share Compensation Plan was approved by the Board to replace the Stock Option Plan that was previously approved by Shareholders. The Share Compensation Plan is a “rolling plan” and was approved by the Shareholders on June 29, 2023. Pursuant to the Share Compensation Plan, the following material changes were made to the Company’s approach to security-based compensation arrangements in 2023:

RSU Trust – In order for the Company to ensure that it is continuing to provide compensation opportunities that attract, retain and motivate the employees of its Papua New Guinea subsidiary, K92 Mining Limited (“ K92 PNG ”) and to ensure that the interests of the employees of K92 PNG are aligned with the success of the Company, the Company has provided in the Amended Plan that the Company may grant RSUs to a trust (the “ RSU Trust ”) established for the benefit of employees from time to time of K92 PNG (the “ Trust Beneficiaries ”). Once vested, the Company will arrange for the issuance of the vested Shares to the RSU Trust. The RSU Trust will sell the Shares in the market and distribute the cash proceeds to Trust Beneficiaries in accordance with the terms and conditions and distribution criteria set out in the governing documents of the RSU Trust.
Maximum Shares Subject to Amended Plan – The maximum number of Shares that may be issuable pursuant to Options, RSUs, and PSUs granted under the Amended Plan, together with any other Shares issuable under all other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company and its subsidiaries, will be reduced from 9% to a maximum of 6.75% of the issued and outstanding Shares at the time of the grant, on a non-diluted basis.
Maximum Allotment of RSUs and PSUs – The maximum number of Shares that may be issuable pursuant to RSUs or PSUs, on an aggregated basis, will be increased from 2% to 2.75% of the outstanding Shares at the time of grant.
Maximum Allotment of Options – The maximum number of Shares that may be issuable pursuant to Options, on an aggregated basis, will be reduced from 7% to 4% of the outstanding Shares at the time of grant.
Maximum Allotment to Insiders – The maximum number of Shares that may be issuable to Insiders pursuant to Options, RSUs, and PSUs granted under the Amended Plan, together with any other Shares issuable under all other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company and its subsidiaries, will be reduced from 9% to a maximum of 6.75% of the issued and outstanding Shares at the time of the grant, on a non-diluted basis.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

Clarification of “Disinterested” Shareholder Approval - Removed the reference to the requirement to obtain “disinterested” shareholder approval for amending any of the Maximum Allotments limits in Section 3.3(b) of the Plan so that disinterested shareholder approval of such allotment changes is not required. Under the rules of the TSX, amendments to some of the allotment limits contained in Section 3.3(b) do not require “disinterested” shareholder approval. The Company will obtain shareholder approval for any amendments to the Plan as required by the rules of the TSX, including any increase in the maximum number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan.

Proposed Amended Share Compensation Plan - 2024

In 2024, the Board, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved changes to the Share Compensation Plan to continue to align the interests of the directors and management with the long-term interests of the Shareholders.

These proposed amendments are in keeping with the Company’s commitment since 2021 to discontinue awarding grants of Options as incentives.

The Amended Share Compensation Plan (the “ Amended Plan ”) is a “rolling plan” and is subject to shareholder approval at the Meeting. Pursuant to the Amended Plan, the following material changes to the Company’s securitybased compensation arrangements have been approved by the Board:

(a) Maximum Shares Subject to Amended Plan – The maximum number of Shares that may be issuable pursuant to Options, RSUs, and PSUs granted under the Amended Plan, together with any other Shares issuable under all other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company and its subsidiaries, will be reduced from 6.75% to a maximum of 6.00% of the issued and outstanding Shares at the time of the grant, on a non-diluted basis.
(b) Maximum Allotment of RSUs and PSUs – The maximum number of Shares that may be issuable pursuant to RSUs or PSUs, on an aggregated basis, will be increased from 2.75% to 3.70% of the outstanding Shares at the time of grant.
(c) Maximum Allotment of Options – The maximum number of Shares that may be issuable pursuant to Options, on an aggregated basis, will be reduced from 4.00% to 2.30% of the outstanding Shares at the time of grant.
(d) Maximum Allotment to Insiders – The maximum number of Shares that may be issuable to Insiders pursuant to Options, RSUs, and PSUs granted under the Amended Plan, together with any other Shares issuable under all other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company and its subsidiaries, will be reduced from 6.75% to a maximum of 6.00% of the issued and outstanding Shares at the time of the grant, on a non-diluted basis.
(e) Vesting of Options Granted to CEO – Each option granted to the CEO after December 31, 2023 shall vest over five (5) years and become exercisable as to one-fifth of the Common Shares subject to such Options on the first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the Grant Date of such Options, subject to the CEO remaining an Eligible Person on the Vesting Date.

The Amended Plan is a 6.00% rolling plan pursuant to which the number of Shares that may be issuable pursuant to Options, RSUs and PSUs granted under the Share Compensation Plan, together with Shares issuable under any other share-based compensation arrangements of the Company and its subsidiaries, is a maximum of 6.00% of the issued and outstanding Shares at the time of the grant, of which the number of Shares issuable pursuant to RSUs or PSUs, on an aggregated basis, may not exceed 3.70% of the outstanding Shares at the time of grant and the number of Shares issuable pursuant to Options, on an aggregated basis, may not exceed 2.30% of the outstanding Shares at the time of grant. The Company may grant RSUs and PSUs that exceed this limitation provided such RSUs and PSUs can only be settled through purchases in the open market.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

The changes to the former Share Compensation Plan are summarized below.

Plan References	Revised Term	Amended Plan	Current Plan
9.3 (b)	Options Vesting – CEO	Options granted to the CEO after December 31, 2023 will vest and become exercisable as to one-fifth of the number of Options on the first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the Grant Date.	Options granted to the CEO before December 31, 2023 vested and became exercisable as to one-third of the number of Options on the first, second and third anniversaries of the Grant Date.
3.3 (a)	Maximum # of Shares Issuable	6.00%	6.75%
3.3 (b)(i)	Maximum # of Shares Issuable to Insiders	6.00%	6.75%
3.3 (b)(ii)	Maximum # of Shares Issuable Underlying RSUs and PSUs	3.70%	2.75%
3.3 (b)(iii)	Maximum # of Shares Issuable Underlying Options	2.30%	4.00%

Details of the terms of the Amended Plan can be found under “Amended Share Compensation Plan – Material Terms” in this Information Circular. The full text of the Amended Plan with proposed changes highlighted in blackline is attached as .

The Amended Plan provides directors, officers, employees and consultants (each, an “ SCP Participant ”) with the opportunity, through Options, RSUs and PSUs, to acquire an ownership interest in the Company. The value of RSUs and PSUs will rise and fall based on the trading price of the Shares.

The purpose of the Amended Plan is to attract, retain and motivate the directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and to advance the interests of the Company by affording such persons with the opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Company through issuances of Options, RSUs and PSUs. This equity interest will align their interests with Shareholders and to enhance the Company’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel and directors.

Exchange Approval

The TSX requires that compensation plans such as the Company’s Share Compensation Plan must receive approval by the Shareholders every three years. Thereafter, notice of Options, RSUs and PSUs granted, cancelled and exercised under the plan must be given to the TSX.

Any amendments to the Share Compensation Plan must be approved by any stock exchange on which the Shares are listed and, if necessary, approval by the disinterested Shareholders of the Company obtained prior to becoming effective.

“Approval by the disinterested Shareholders” means approval by a majority of votes cast by all Shareholders at the Meeting, excluding votes attached to Shares owned by Insiders of the Company to whom Options, RSUs or PSUs may be granted pursuant to the Share Compensation Plan, and their associates.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

During 2018, K92’s share price performed slightly above the S&P/TSX Composite Index and the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index. Since the beginning of 2019, the Company developed significantly, and the share price has well outperformed both indexes on the strength of successful operational results, significant growth in cash flow, a strong balance sheet and an underlying positive gold price environment. NEO compensation levels are generally in line with the Company’s performance, with Shareholder returns, and with the Peers Group, and are sufficient for the Board to conclude that the compensation strategy is working effectively for Shareholders and for the NEOs.

Our share price has also significantly outperformed several peers in the last four years due to positive exploration and expansion results, and a supportive underlying gold price environment; performance over the last twelve months has outperformed several peers. The price of gold is largely determined by global demand and supply, which is driven by geopolitical and economic events. The price of gold per ounce has increased from $1,282 on December 22, 2018, to $2,062 on December 31, 2023.

Although gold price does have a significant influence on our share price, K92 executive officers are focused creating long-term value for Shareholders rather than short-term fluctuations in share price, and our compensation policies reflect that focus. The Company has grown significantly over the past five years and the increases in executive compensation over the same period reflects this growth.

Executive Share Ownership Policy

The Company has a Share Ownership Policy that requires executive officers to own minimum values of Shares of the Company, based on fair market value. The equity ownership guidelines are intended to reinforce our focus on the long-term and align business decisions of the executive officers with the long-term interests of Shareholders.

All executive officers are now required to own and maintain Shares or full value share awards (PSUs and/or RSUs) at the following levels:

CEO	3 x annual base salary
CFO	3 x annual base salary
President	3 x annual base salary
COO	3 x annual base salary
Executive VP	3 x annual base salary
Other VP(at the discretion of CEO)	1 x annual base salary

The applicable level of share ownership is required to be achieved in five years from the later of February 2027 or the date the executive is appointed to their position (the “ Target Ownership Date ”). The aggregate value of Shares, RSUs and PSUs are used in the share ownership value calculations. If at any time following the Target Ownership Date, an executive officer is promoted from the Vice President level or their base salary increases, they will have two years from the time of the increase or promotion to acquire any additional Shares as may be required to satisfy the minimum ownership requirements under the Policy.

Once an executive officer’s level of Share ownership requirement is met, executive officers are expected to maintain such levels for the remainder of their tenure and for at least one fiscal quarter following departure from the Company.

The following table summarizes the share ownership levels of the NEOs as at December 31, 2023:

Mr. Medilek is responsible for the Company’s business development activities, identifying, evaluating, and advancing growth opportunities and working with the other executive officers in developing the Company’s corporate strategy. On January 1, 2023, Mr. Medilek was promoted from Vice President, Business Development and Investor Relations to President.

In 2023, the Company was party to an employment agreement (the “ President Agreement ”) with Mr. Medilek, pursuant to which Mr. Medilek received a base monthly salary (the “ President Fee ”), a cash bonus program, and long-term equity incentives. The President Agreement is subject to an annual review by the Compensation Committee (on the recommendation of the CEO), which may recommend to the Board an increase of the base salary or revise other compensation. Effective November 1, 2020, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee and with consultation of the CEO, the Board approved an increase of the President Fee to CAN $30,000 per month. Effective January 1, 2022, the Board increased the President Fee to $31,500 and effective January 1, 2023, the Board increased the President Fee to CAN $40,000 upon his promotion to President.

Pursuant to the President Agreement, Mr. Medilek was entitled to a semi-annual bonus target (the “ President Target Bonus ”) of 100% of the President Fee paid in a twelve-month period, based on certain KPIs of the Company if the Board, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, determines that the applicable business performance objectives established by the Board or the Compensation Committee, have been met. The KPIs include the Company’s performance in the areas of safety, production, cash costs, capital costs, ESG, growth and organizational efficiency. In addition, Mr. Medilek is entitled to an LTI equal to up to 200% of the annual President Fee paid. The LTI is awarded through the issuance of a combination of 60% PSUs and 40% RSUs. The value of PSUs awarded is calculated based on the Company’s Share performance compared to the GDX and GDXJ. See a full description of the short-term bonus under the heading “Short-term Annual Bonus Incentives” and “Long-term Incentives” .

If his employment were terminated without cause, Mr. Medilek would be entitled to receive a lump sum payment (a) equivalent to 12 months of the President Fee; (b) an amount equal to the President Target Bonus payment that would have been payable for achieving KPIs, had he worked to the end of the applicable bonus period prior to termination; and (c) other sums owed for arrears of the President Fee and expenses properly incurred.

If his employment were terminated after a Change of Control (as defined above), where the President Agreement is terminated other than for cause in the twelve-month period following the Change of Control, Mr. Medilek would be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equivalent to twenty-four times the President Fee, an amount equal to 200% of the President Target Bonus that would be payable if all conditions were fully met during the prior twentyfour months, at the time of termination plus other sums owed for arrears of compensation. In addition, all unexercised and unvested Options held by Mr. Medilek at the time of such termination, would immediately vest and become fully exercisable upon the termination of the President Agreement. Any unsettled and vested RSUs and PSUs would become deliverable.

Christopher Muller (Executive Vice President Exploration)

Mr. Muller is responsible for coordination of the activities of the Company in the areas of exploration and for promoting the interests and operations of the Company. In 2023, Mr. Muller was promoted from the position of Vice President, Exploration to Executive Vice President, Exploration.

The EVP Exploration Agreement is subject to an annual review by the Compensation Committee (on the recommendation of the CEO), which may recommend to the Board an increase of the base salary or revise other compensation. Effective January 1, 2021, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee and with consultation of the independent compensation advisors, the Board approved an increase of the EVP Exploration Fee to from AUS $264,000 to AUS $283,800 per

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

Pursuant to the EVP Exploration Agreement, Mr. Muller is entitled to a semi-annual bonus target (the “ EVP Target Bonus ”) of 70% of the EVP Exploration Fee paid, based on certain KPIs of the Company if the Board, on the recommendation of the CEO and Compensation Committee, determines that the applicable business performance objectives established by the Board or the Compensation Committee, have been met. The KPIs include the Company’s performance in the areas of safety, production, cash costs, capital costs, ESG, growth and organizational efficiency. In addition, Mr. Muller is entitled to an LTI equal to up to 80% of the EVP Exploration Fee paid. The LTI is awarded through the issuance of a combination of 60% PSUs and 40% RSUs. The value of PSUs awarded is calculated based on the Company’s Share performance compared to the GDX and GDXJ. See a full description of the shortterm bonus under the heading “Short-term Annual Bonus Incentives” and “Long-term Incentives” .

If his employment were terminated without cause, Mr. Muller is entitled to receive a lump sum payment (a) equivalent to one month of the EVP Exploration Fee; and (b) other sums owed for arrears of the EVP Exploration Fee and expenses properly incurred.

If his employment were terminated after a Change of Control (as defined above), where the EVP Exploration Agreement is terminated other than for cause in the six-month period following the Change of Control, Mr. Muller would be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equivalent to six months of the EVP Exploration Fee, plus other sums owed for arrears of compensation. All unexercised and unvested Options held by Mr. Muller at the time of such termination, would immediately vest and become fully exercisable upon the termination of the EVP Exploration Agreement. In addition, any unsettled and vested RSUs and PSUs would become deliverable at the time of such termination.

Share Compensation Plan

On June 29, 2023, the Shareholders approved the current Share Compensation Plan. In 2024, the Board, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved amendments to the Share Compensation Plan (the “ Amended Plan ”) that continue to align the interests of the directors and management with the long-term interests of the Shareholders. The Amended SC Plan is a “rolling plan” and is subject to disinterested shareholder approval at the Meeting.

Amended Share Compensation Plan – Material Terms

Following are the material terms and conditions of the Amended Plan, the full text of which is attached in Appendix “A” or by request to the Company.

Maximum Shares Issuable

Maximum - Except as noted below, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issuable is 6.00% of the number of issued and outstanding Shares, together with those Shares issuable pursuant to any other share-based compensation arrangements of the Company, calculated at the time of grant.

Maximum Allotment to Insiders - The maximum number of Shares that may be issuable to Insiders pursuant to Options, RSUs, and PSUs granted under the Amended Plan, together with any other Shares issuable under all other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company and its subsidiaries, is 6.00% of the issued and outstanding Shares at the time of the grant, on a non-diluted basis.

Options - The maximum number of Shares issuable pursuant to Shares underlying Options is an aggregate 2.30% of the issued and outstanding Shares, together with those Shares issuable pursuant to Options issued pursuant to any other share-based compensation arrangements of the Company, calculated at the time of grant. As of the date of

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

this Information Circular, the aggregate number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to grants of Options under the Amended Plan is 5,443,415.

RSUs and PSUs - Except as noted below, the maximum number of Shares issuable pursuant to Shares underlying RSUs and PSUs is an aggregate 3.70% of the issued and outstanding Shares, calculated at the time of grant. As of the date of this Information Circular, the aggregate number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to grants of RSUs and PSUs under the Amended Plan is 8,756,799.

Maximum Issuable to Non-executive Directors - the aggregate number of Shares issuable pursuant to any RSU or Option Awards under the Plan to any one non-employee director within a one-year period may not exceed an Award value of $150,000 per such non-employee director, of which no more than $100,000 may comprise Options, provided such Options are granted in lieu of directors’ fees.

Exceptions - RSUs and PSUs may be awarded in excess of the limitations set forth above, provided they are only settled through the purchases of Shares on the open market.

Eligibility

The following people are eligible to participate in the Amended Plan: any director, officer, or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and any consultant who is eligible to receive awards under the Share Compensation Plan, and solely for purposes of the grant of:

RSUs and PSUs - RSUs and PSUs may be granted to any of the directors, officers, employees or permitted consultants (SCP Participants) of the Company or those of the Company’s subsidiaries.

Options - Options may be granted to any of the executive directors (on a limited basis), officers, employees or consultants of the Company or those of the Company’s subsidiaries.

Administration

The Share Compensation Plan is administered by the Board, or, if the Board so elects, the Compensation Committee (the “ SCP Administrator ”). The SCP Administrators determine the eligibility of individuals to participate in the Share Compensation Plan, when Options, RSUs and PSUs will be awarded or granted, the number of Options, RSUs and PSUs to be awarded or granted, the vesting criteria for each award of RSUs and grant of Options, the exercise price of Options, and all other terms and conditions of each award and grant, all in accordance with the provisions of the Share Compensation Plan and applicable securities laws and stock exchange requirements.

Options Exercises

Vested Options may be exercised at any time during the applicable option term, subject to any blackout provisions. The Options are exercisable by the SCP Participant giving the Company notice and payment of the exercise price for the number of Shares to be acquired.

Cashless Options Exercises

An Optionee may elect a “cashless” exercise if the Shares issuable on exercise of the Options are to be immediately sold in Canada and the proceeds of sale will be sufficient to satisfy the exercise price of the Options. If permitted by the Board, the Optionee may complete a cashless exercise with the assistance of a broker (which may include authorizing the broker to sell Shares on the open market by means of a short sale and forward the proceeds of such short sale to the Company to satisfy the Option Price and any applicable tax withholdings.

Option Exercise Price

The exercise price at which the Shares may be purchased pursuant to an Option is set by the Board or SCP Administrator at the time of the grant but may not be less than the “Market Price” at the time of the option grant.

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

The Market Price is the volume weighted average trading price of the Shares on the TSX for the last five trading days prior to such day or, on a day during any period when the Shares are not listed for trading on an exchange (“ VWAP ”), the “Market Price” shall be the fair market value per Share on such day as determined by the Board, in its sole discretion with reference to such factors or such information as the Board in its discretion deem appropriate.

Assignability

Options rights granted and RSUs and PSUs awarded under the Amended Plan, or any rights of an SCP Participant cannot be transferred, assigned, charged, pledged or hypothecated, except to an SCP Participant’s beneficiaries or other legal representative in the event of death or permanent disability of the SCP Participant.

Market Price of RSUs and PSUs

The value applicable to settlement of RSUs and PSUs is the Market Price (which is the VWAP). The Market Price will be the fair market value per Share on such day as determined by the Board, in its sole discretion considering such factors or such information as the Board in its discretion considers appropriate.

Maximum Term of Options

The term of any Options granted is fixed by the Board at the time such Options are granted, but Options are not permitted to exceed a term of five years. However, should the term of an Option expire on a date that falls within a blackout period or within nine business days following the expiration of a blackout period, the expiration date will be extended without any further act or formality to the date that is the tenth business day after the end of the blackout period.

Grants and Payments

RSUs –

A separate account for RSUs is maintained for each participant (a “ RSU Account ”). Each RSU Account will be credited with RSUs awarded to the SCP Participant from time to time. On the RSU vesting date and the corresponding issuance of cash and/or Shares to the SCP Participant, or on the forfeiture and cancellation of the RSUs, the applicable RSUs credited to the participant’s RSU Account will be cancelled.

The SCP Administrator determines the performance cycle applicable to each PSU, being the period of time between the grant date and the date on which the performance criteria must be satisfied before the PSU is fully vested and may be settled by the SCP Participant which, unless otherwise determined by the Board, will be three years after the calendar year in which the grant occurs.
A separate account will be maintained for PSUs for each SCP Participant (a “ PSU Account ”). Each PSU Account will be credited with PSUs awarded to the SCP Participant from time to time and any dividend equivalent PSUs credited in respect of such PSUs. On the vesting date of the PSUs and the corresponding issuance of cash and/or Shares to the SCP Participant, or on the forfeiture or cancellation of the PSUs, the applicable PSUs credited to the SCP Participant’s PSU Account will be cancelled.

In the event of a take-over bid or other transaction leading to a Change of Control, the SCP Administrator has the power, subject to TSX acceptance, to accelerate the vesting of Awards and to permit SCP Participants to exercise their Awards, conditional on the take-up by such offeror of the Shares or other securities tendered to such take-over bid according to the terms of the take-over bid or the effectiveness of such other transaction leading to a Change of Control.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION AND EQUITY OWNERSHIP

Director Compensation Philosophy and Approach

The Company recognizes the contributions that its directors make to the Company and strives to compensate them fairly for their time and efforts required, both at the Board level and the committee level.

The compensation structure for non-employee directors is intended to attract and retain highly qualified individuals with the capability to meet the challenging oversight responsibilities of a mining company and to closely align the directors’ interests with the interests of Company’s Shareholders. Executive directors do not receive fees for their service as directors. The Company’s approach to board compensation is to be in line with the median of our peers’ director compensation and to reflect best practices.

The Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing directors’ compensation at least annually, and making recommendations to the Board regarding any revisions, taking into account market best practice, workload and accountability. The Compensation Committee engages independent compensation consultants when warranted when carrying out its reviews.

Director Compensation Elements

The elements of non-employee directors’ compensation are (1) annual fixed cash retainers; (2) long-term equity awards in the form of RSUs and historically granted Options (Options discontinued in 2021); (3) attendance fees for meetings of the Special Committee when required; (4) reimbursement of reasonable travel expenses; and (5) reimbursement of professional development courses. The annual retainers for the Board Chair and Board members are pro-rated where a director joins mid-term.

Compensation for non-executive directors is not performance-based and they do not participate in the bonus incentive programs.

In 2020, the Company’s directors’ compensation comprised an annual fixed cash retainer and an equity retainer in the form of Options. Effective in 2021, non-executive directors no longer receive Options except as payment in lieu of fees and subject to an annual maximum value of $100,000.

Directors do not receive severance provisions, health care coverage, charitable donations, vehicles, club memberships, pensions, or other such perquisites.

Revisions to director compensation, as recommended by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board were made effective January 1, 2021. The director compensation adjustments reflect increased responsibilities and

104

K92 Mining | 2024 AGM Management Information Circular

alignment with the Company’s Peer Group. The Compensation Committee believes that the compensation structure for the Board members is reasonable, competitive and assists in attracting and retaining superior Board candidates.

John Lewins is an executive officer of the Company and, as such, does not receive any additional compensation for his role as a director. He is excluded from all the tables in the Compensation of Directors section as all his compensation is disclosed under the heading “Summary Compensation Table” .

Each compensation element is described in further detail below.

Equity Compensation

Equity grants in line with the levels permitted under the Company’s equity compensation plans are made to nonexecutive board members to attract and retain top talent and to motivate high quality performance by directors aligned with Shareholder interests. Until 2021, the Company granted Options pursuant to the former Stock Option Plan to provide non-executive directors with incentive. See “Director Compensation Summary” below for details.

Since the introduction of the Share Compensation Plan in 2021 (see “ Incentive Plan Awards” for details on the plan), non-employee directors may be granted equity-based compensation in the form of RSU grants. Options may only be granted to non-employee directors in lieu of Board fees, on an equal value-for-value exchange of up to $100,000. Each non-employee director may receive equity compensation at an aggregate maximum value of $150,000 in a 12month period (calculated at the date of grant), of which a value of no more than $100,000 may be in the form of Options, calculated using the Black-Scholes model.

Travel and Other Expenses

Our directors are reimbursed for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending board meetings, stakeholder meetings and site visits, where applicable, and otherwise carrying out their duties as directors of the Company.

Annual Cash Compensation

Effective January 1, 2021, the Company established the director fee schedule set out in Table 10. Annual cash retainers for non-executive directors are paid in Canadian Dollars. The retainers are paid on a monthly basis.

The following table details the cash retainer fee structure for non-executive directors for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Director Incentive Plan Awards

Restricted Share Units (RSUs) and Options

Non-employee directors may be granted equity-based compensation in the form of RSU grants. Since 2021, the Board no longer awards Options to directors, and instead awards RSUs as compensation for the equity component of the annual retainer.

Each non-employee director may receive RSUs with an aggregate maximum value of $150,000 annually (calculated at the date of grant) when combined with the value of any other equity compensation granted during the same 12month period. Directors may also elect to receive 100% of the director fees in the form of equity.

Under the Share Compensation Plan as amended, the aggregate number of Shares issuable pursuant to any Options to any one non-employee director within a one-year period may not exceed a value of $100,000. The Company does not intend to grant Options to directors in future.

Outstanding Share-Based Awards and Option-Based Awards

Director Share Ownership Guidelines

The Company’s Share Ownership Policy is applicable to non-executive directors and is intended to align the interests of directors with those of Shareholders by mandating a minimum value of K92 equity that the directors must hold. The non-executive directors are required to maintain Shares and RSUs that in aggregate are equal to three (3) times each director’s annual retainer. The minimum Share ownership levels are expected to be met by each director by the later of (i) February 27, 2027; and (ii) five years after the date of becoming a director. For additional information on the status of each director’s compliance with the equity ownership policy, see the biography information for each director in the “Board Nominees” and “Share Ownership Requirement” sections of this Circular .

Director Education Cost Reimbursement

Our directors are reimbursed for pursuing continuing education opportunities to maintain and enhance their abilities as directors and ensure that their knowledge of the business of the Company remains current. The directors may be reimbursed up to $1,000 annually for these individual professional development opportunities and the board in its discretion may revise this amount. The Company also sponsors additional workshops and education sessions. (See “Director Orientation and Continuing Education”. )

Director Compensation Independent Review

In September 2020, the Compensation Committee retained Korn Ferry, independent compensation advisors, to conduct a review of the Company’s Board compensation practices with a view of attracting and retaining quality Board members and paying fair remuneration to the directors.

In its 2020 review, Korn Ferry compared K92’s board compensation to the Company’s Peer Group comprising public mining companies trading on the TSX or the NYSE exchanges, mining primarily gold, and approximate comparable size in terms of market capitalization and/or revenues. The review covered the compensation elements of cash retainer, equity retainer and meeting fees paid to directors. The individual roles of director, Board Chair, Audit Committee member and Chair, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee member and Chair, Compensation Committee member and Chair, and Health and Safety Committee member and Chair were evaluated. (See “Independent Compensation Advisors” .)

Following Korn Ferry’s analysis and recommendations, the annual cash retainers paid to non-executive directors were increased to align with the director fees paid by the median of the Company’ Peer Group.

In addition, on the recommendation of Korn Ferry, in 2021, the Company initiated the use of awarding RSUs to its directors pursuant to the Share Compensation Plan adopted in October 2021. (See “ Elements of Director Compensation” and “Share Compensation Plan”. )

Directors are required to exercise their judgment in a manner consistent with their fiduciary duties. In particular, directors are required to act honestly and in good faith, with a view to the best interests of the Company, and to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. In this context, the Board’s objectives are to enhance and preserve long-term stakeholder value, and to ensure the Company meets its obligations on an ongoing basis.

In overseeing the conduct of the business, the Board, through the Chief Executive Officer (“ CEO ”), sets the standards of conduct for the Company.

The Board Chair, if present, will act as the chair of meetings of the Board. The Chair and the CEO, together with the Corporate Secretary, shall establish the agenda for each Board meeting and, where possible, ensure that materials are circulated sufficiently in advance to provide adequate time for review prior to the meeting. The Board may ask members of management or others to attend meetings or to provide information as necessary.

B - 14

11. CHANGE OF CONTROL

11.1 Change of Control:

(a) In the event of a Change of Control where the person that acquires Control (the “ Acquiror ”), an Affiliate thereof, or the successor of the Corporation, agrees to assume all of the obligations of the Corporation under the Plan and the Board determines that such assumption is consistent with the objectives of the Plan and does not diminish the value of the Awards, the Plan and all outstanding Awards will continue on the same terms and conditions, except that, if applicable, Awards may be adjusted to a right to acquire shares of the Acquiror or its Affiliate.
(b) In the event of a Change of Control where the Plan is continued pursuant to section 11.1(a), the Awards of Eligible Persons, other than the Trustee of the RSU Trust, whose employment or service thereafter ceases for any reason other than resignation without Good Reason or termination for Cause, shall immediately be deemed to be vested and become exercisable or redeemable in accordance with the provisions of this Plan, and the vested date for such Award shall be deemed to be the Termination Date and, in the case of Vested Share Units, the Market Price of such Award shall be the Market Price as at the Termination Date.
(c) In the event of a Change of Control where the Acquiror or an Affiliate thereof or the successor to the Corporation does not agree to assume all of the obligations of the Corporation under the Plan, or the Board determines that such assumption is not consistent with the objectives of the Plan or diminishes the value of the Awards, all unvested Awards held by each Eligible Person shall immediately be deemed to be vested and become exercisable or redeemable in accordance with the provisions of this Plan, and the vested date for such Award shall deemed to be the date of the Change of Control and, in the case of Vested Share Units, the Market Price of such Award shall be the Market Price as at the date of Change of Control and any Performance Criteria vesting conditions will be assessed by the Board, acting in good faith.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section 11.1, the Board may, in its sole discretion, make such determinations as it considers appropriate in the circumstances upon a Change of Control to ensure the fair treatment of Participants in such circumstances in light of the objectives of the Plan, including, without limitation, with respect to vesting periods, performance criteria, the amounts to be paid, if any, to Participants on redemption of Vested Share Units and/or termination of this Plan (and for greater certainty, such determinations may result in different vesting, redemptions or payment terms than would result from the operations of section 11.1(a), (b) or (c).
11.2 Discretion to Accelerate Vesting: Despite anything else to the contrary in the Plan, in the event of a potential Change of Control, the Board will have the power, in its sole discretion, to modify the terms of the Plan and/or the Awards to assist the Participants in tendering to a take-over bid or other transaction leading to a Change of Control. For greater certainty, in the event of a take-over bid or other transaction leading to a Change of Control, the Board has the power, in its sole discretion, subject to TSX acceptance, as applicable, to accelerate the vesting of Awards and to permit Participants to conditionally exercise their Awards, such conditional exercise to be conditional upon the take-up by such offeror of the Common Shares or other securities tendered to such take-over bid in accordance with the terms of the take-over bid (or the effectiveness of such other transaction leading to a Change of Control). If, however, the potential Change of Control referred to in this section is not completed within the time specified (as the same may be extended), then despite this section or the definition of “Change of Control”, (i) any conditional exercise of vested Awards will be deemed to be null, void and of no effect, and such conditionally exercised Awards will for all purposes be deemed not to have been exercised, and (ii) Awards which vested pursuant to this section will be returned by the Participant to the Corporation and reinstated as

B - 15

authorized but unissued Common Shares and the original terms applicable to such Awards will be reinstated.

(a) The terms of employment or service shall not be affected by participation in the Plan.

(c) Under no circumstances shall any person who is or has at any time been a Participant be able to claim from the Corporation or any Subsidiary any sum or other benefit to compensate for the loss of any rights or benefits under or in connection with this Plan or by reason of participation in this Plan or the cessation of such participation for any reason whatsoever. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Common Shares shall at any time be issued or other compensation paid in respect of any Awards which have been

forfeited or terminated under the Plan or on account of damages relating to any Awards which have been forfeited or terminated under the Plan.

14.6 No Fractional Shares: No fractional Common Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of Options or the settlement of PSUs or RSUs in Common Shares, and, accordingly, if a Participant would become entitled to a fractional Common Share upon the exercise of an Option or settlement of a PSU or RSU in Common Shares, such Participant will only have the right to acquire the next lowest whole number of Common Shares, and no payment or other adjustment will be made with respect to the fractional interest so disregarded.

- (i) deducting and withholding the amount required to be remitted (the “ Remittance Amount ”) from any cash remuneration or any other amount payable to a Participant, whether or not related to the Plan, the exercise of any Awards, or the issue of any Common Shares;
- (ii) permitting the Participant to make a cash payment to the Corporation equal to the Remittance Amount; or
- (iii) selling, or causing a broker engaged by the Corporation to sell, on behalf of any Participant, that number of Common Shares issued to the Participant pursuant to an exercise of Options, such that the amount received by the Corporation or Subsidiary from the proceeds of the sale shall be sufficient to satisfy the obligation to remit the Remittance Amount (and to fund any commissions payable to the broker and other costs and expenses of the transaction).
(b) Any Common Shares of a Participant that are sold by the Corporation, or by a broker engaged by the Corporation, to fund a Remittance Amount shall be sold as soon as practicable, and, if applicable, in transactions effected on the exchange on which the Common Shares are then listed for trading.

In addition, neither the Corporation nor the broker shall be liable for any loss arising from a delay in transferring any Common Shares to a Participant. The sale price of Common Shares sold on behalf of Participants shall fluctuate with the market price of the Common Shares and no assurance can be given that any particular price shall be received upon any sale.

(b) The award or grant of Awards and the issuance of Common Shares under this Plan shall be carried out in compliance with applicable statutes and with the regulations of governmental authorities and the TSX. If the Board determine in their discretion that, in order to comply with any such statutes or regulations, certain action is necessary or desirable as a condition of or in connection with the award or grant of an Award or the issue of a Common Share upon the settlement or exercise of an Award, that Award may not vest in whole or in part and that Award may not be exercised in whole or in part, as applicable, unless that action shall have been completed in a manner satisfactory to the Board.
