NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

AND

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

TO BE HELD ON
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2025

Dated as of September 5, 2025


KUTCHO COPPER CORP.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

NOTICE IS GIVEN that the annual general and meeting (the "Meeting") of the shareholders of Kutcho Copper Corp. (the "Company") will be held at 1030 West Georgia Street, Suite 918, Vancouver, British Columbia on Wednesday, October 22, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time), for the following purposes:

  1. To receive and consider the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2025 and April 30, 2024;
  2. To fix the number of directors for the ensuing year at four (4);
  3. To elect the directors for the ensuing year;
  4. To appoint Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton Labonte LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants as the Company's auditors for the ensuing fiscal year at a remuneration to be fixed by the directors;
  5. To ratify and approve by ordinary resolution, the Company's Stock Option Plan, as more particularly described in the accompanying information circular (the "Information Circular"); and
  6. To transact such further or other business as may properly come before the Meeting and any adjournment(s) thereof.

The Meeting will be held in Person.

Upon request, the Company will make available a telephone conference line

To receive the dial-in information, please email Michelle Teshima at [email protected] no less than 48 hours prior to the Meeting Date.

Please note that Shareholders who dial in to the Meeting will not be able to vote at the Meeting. Shareholders who dial in must vote in advance in accordance with the instructions set out in this Information Circular.

The Company strongly recommends that Shareholders vote by Proxy or voting instruction form ("VIF") in advance to ease the voting tabulation at the Meeting by Computershare Investor Services Inc. ("Computershare").

Only Shareholders of record at the close of business on September 5, 2025 (the "Record Date") are entitled to notice of and to attend the Meeting or any adjournment or adjournments thereof and to vote at such meeting.

The Company has opted to use the notice-and-access rules developed by Canadian Securities Administrators to reduce the volume of paper in the materials distributed for the Meeting. Instead of receiving the Information Circular with the form of proxy or voting instruction form, Shareholders receive a notice-and-access notification with instructions for accessing the notice of meeting, the Information Circular and the instrument of proxy (collectively the "Meeting Materials") online. The Meeting Materials are available via the internet at https://kutcho.ca/agm/ or on the Company's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

Shareholders will also receive a form of Proxy (for registered shareholders) or a Voting Instruction Form (for beneficial shareholders), allowing each shareholder to submit their vote by proxy at the Meeting. Electronic delivery reduces paper consumption, which is consistent with the Company's environmental commitments, and also reduces the Company's printing and mailing costs.


Shareholders with questions about the Notice and Access system, or who would like to request printed copies of the Meeting Materials, should contact the Company's corporate administrator by telephone at (604) 288-8001 or email at [email protected]. A request for printed copies which are required in advance of the Meeting should be made no later than 4:00 p.m. on Monday, September 29, 2025 in order to allow sufficient time for mailing.

There are several convenient ways to vote your shares: 1) By mail or by hand to: Computershare Investor Services Inc., 8th Floor, 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5J 2Y1; or 2) By fax to: 416-263-9524 or 1-866-249-7775; or 3) By internet at: www.investorvote.com using the control number listed on the Proxy; or 4) By telephone at: 1-866-732-8683 (toll free).

To be voted, proxies must be received by Computershare at any time prior to 10:00 a.m. PT on October 20, 2025, or 48 hours prior to the time of any adjournments of the Meeting (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays).

DATED at Vancouver, British Columbia, this 5th day of September, 2025.

KUTCHO COPPER CORP.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

(containing information as at September 5, 2025 unless otherwise stated)

This Management Information Circular (the “Information Circular”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Kutcho Copper Corp. (the “Company”) for use at the annual general meeting (the “Meeting”) of the shareholders (the “Shareholders”) of the Company, to be held at 1030 West Georgia Street, Suite 918, Vancouver, British Columbia on Wednesday, October 22, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting and at any adjournment thereof.

The Meeting will be held in Person.

The Company will make available, upon request a telephone conference line

To receive the dial-in information, please email Michelle Teshima

at [email protected] no less than 48 hours prior to the Meeting Date.

Please note that Shareholders who dial in to the Meeting will not be able to vote at the Meeting. Shareholders who dial in must vote in advance in accordance with the instructions set out in this Information Circular.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

The enclosed instrument of proxy is solicited by management. Solicitations will be made by mail and possibly supplemented by telephone or other personal contact to be made without special compensation by regular officers and employees of the Company. The Company may reimburse nominees or agents of shareholders, including brokers holding shares on behalf of clients, for reasonable costs incurred in obtaining authorization from their principals to execute proxies. The cost of solicitation will be borne by the Company. None of the directors of the Company have advised that they intend to oppose any action intended to be taken by management as set forth in this Information Circular.

NOTICE AND ACCESS PROCESS

The Company is using the notice and access (“Notice and Access”) provisions of National Instrument 54-101 Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (“NI 54-101”) to deliver the Meeting Materials to Shareholders for the Meeting.

Accordingly, the Meeting Materials can be accessed by going to the Company’s website at https://kutcho.ca/agm/ for a period of one year from the date of the Meeting, or by visiting the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca. Shareholders will receive a notice package from the Company that includes (i) the relevant form of proxy or voting instruction form, (ii) basic information about the Meeting and the matters to be voted on; (iii) instructions on how to obtain a paper copy of the Meeting Materials; and (iv) a plain language explanation of how the notice and access system operates and how the Meeting Materials can be accessed online. Registered Shareholders and those Beneficial Holders with existing instructions on their account to receive printed materials will receive a printed copy of the Meeting Materials with the notice package.

Shareholders who wish to receive paper copies of the Meeting Materials may request them by contacting the Company’s Corporate Administrator by telephone at 604-288-8001 or by email at [email protected]. In order to allow sufficient time for mailing of the paper copies and to


ensure Shareholders have their votes received by Computershare prior to 10:00 a.m. PT on October 20, 2025 (the proxy deposit deadline), the Company must receive the request no later than 4:00 p.m. on Monday, September 29, 2025.

In accordance with the requirements of NI 54-101, the Company has elected to send requested paper copies of the Meeting Materials directly to the NOBOs, and indirectly through Intermediaries to the OBOs. The Intermediaries (or their service companies) are responsible for forwarding requested paper copies of the Meeting Materials to each OBO, unless the OBO has waived the right to receive them. The Company does not intend to pay for an Intermediary to deliver Meeting Materials to OBOs. Accordingly, OBOs will not receive paper copies of the Meeting Materials unless their Intermediary assumes the costs of delivery.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

The persons named in the accompanying instrument of proxy are directors or officers of the Company. A shareholder has the right to appoint a person in place of the persons named in the enclosed instrument of proxy to attend and act for and on behalf of the shareholder at the Meeting. To exercise this right, a registered shareholder shall strike out the names of the persons named in the instrument of proxy and insert the name of their nominee in the blank space provided, or complete another instrument of proxy. The completed instrument of proxy should be deposited with the Company's registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. at 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1 at least 48 hours before the time of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.

The instrument of proxy must be dated and be signed by the registered shareholder or by their attorney in writing, or, if the shareholder is a corporation, it must either be under its common seal or signed by a duly authorized officer.

In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a registered shareholder may revoke a proxy either by (a) signing a proxy bearing a later date and depositing it at the place and within the time aforesaid, or (b) signing and dating a written notice of revocation (in the same manner as the instrument of proxy is required to be executed as set out in the notes to the instrument of proxy) and either depositing it at the place and within the time aforesaid or with the chair of the Meeting prior to the commencement of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, or (c) registering with the scrutineer at the Meeting as a shareholder present in person, whereupon such proxy shall be deemed to have been revoked.

Only registered shareholders have the right to revoke a proxy. A revocation of a proxy does not affect any matter on which a vote has been taken prior to the revocation.

VOTING OF SHARES AND EXERCISE OF DISCRETION OF PROXIES

On any poll, the persons named in the enclosed instrument of proxy will vote the shares in respect of which they are appointed and, where directions are given by the shareholder in respect of voting for or against any resolution, will do so in accordance with such direction.

In the absence of any direction in the instrument of proxy, it is intended that such shares will be voted in favour of the motions proposed to be made at the Meeting as stated under the headings in this Information Circular. The instrument of proxy enclosed, when properly signed, confers discretionary authority with respect to amendments or variations to any matters


which may properly be brought before the Meeting. The enclosed instrument of proxy does not confer authority to vote for the election of any person as a director of the Company other than for those persons named in this Information Circular. At the time of printing this Information Circular, management of the Company is not aware that any such amendments, variations or other matters are to be presented for action at the Meeting. However, if any other matters which are not now known to the management should properly come before the Meeting, the proxies hereby solicited will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the named proxyholder.

NON-REGISTERED HOLDERS

The record date for determination of the holders of common shares of the Company entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting is September 5, 2025 (the "Record Date"). Only shareholders whose names have been entered in the register of common shareholders at the close of business on the Record Date ("Registered Shareholders") will be entitled to receive notice of, and to vote 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 common shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the name of the brokerage firm, bank or trust company through which they purchased the common shares. More particularly, a person is not a Registered Shareholder in respect of common shares which are held on behalf of that person (the "Non-Registered Holder") but which are registered either: (a) in the name of an intermediary (an "Intermediary") that the Non-Registered Holder deals with in respect of the common shares (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs, TFSAs and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency of which the Intermediary is a participant. In Canada, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration for the Canadian Depository for Securities, which company acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). In the United States, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for The Depository Trust Company (which acts as depositary for many United States brokerage firms and custodian banks).

Non-Registered Holders who have not objected to their Intermediary disclosing certain ownership information about themselves to the Company are referred to as "NOBOs". Those Non-Registered Holders who have objected to their Intermediary disclosing ownership information about themselves to the Company are referred to as "OBOs". In accordance with the requirements of NI 54-101, the Company has elected to send Meeting Materials directly to the NOBOs, and indirectly through Intermediaries to the OBOs. The Intermediaries (or their service companies) are responsible for forwarding the Meeting Materials to each OBO, unless the OBO has waived the right to receive them. The Company does not intend to pay for an Intermediary to deliver Meeting Materials to OBOs. Accordingly, OBOs will not receive the Meeting Materials unless their Intermediary assumes the costs of delivery.

Intermediaries often use service companies to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders. Generally, Non-Registered Holders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials will either:


(a) be given a voting instruction form which is not signed by the Intermediary and which, when properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Holder and returned to the Intermediary or its service company, will constitute voting instructions (often called a "voting instruction form") which the Intermediary must follow. Typically, the voting instruction form will consist of a one page pre-printed form. Sometimes, instead of the one page pre-printed form, the voting instruction form will consist of a regular printed proxy form accompanied by a page of instructions which contains a removable label with a barcode and other information. In order for the form of proxy to validly constitute a voting instruction form, the Non-Registered Holder must remove the label from the instructions and affix it to the form of proxy, properly complete and sign the form of proxy and submit it to the Intermediary or its service company in accordance with the instructions of the Intermediary or its service company; or

(b) be given a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number of common shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Holder but which is otherwise not completed by the Intermediary. Because the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the Non-Registered Holder when submitting the proxy. In this case, the Non-Registered Holder who wishes to submit a proxy should properly complete the form of proxy and deposit it with Computershare Investor Services Inc. at 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1 not later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time of holding the Meeting or adjournment thereof.

In either case, the purpose of these procedures is to permit Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of the common shares they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Holder who receives either a voting instruction form or a form of proxy wish to attend the Meeting and vote in person (or have another person attend and vote on behalf of the Non-Registered Holder), the Non-Registered Holder should strike out the names of the persons named in the form of proxy and insert the name of the Non-Registered Holder (or other person selected by the Non-Registered Holder) in the blank space provided or, in the case of a voting instruction form, follow the directions indicated on the form. In either case, Non-Registered Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediaries and their service companies, including those regarding when and where the voting instruction form or the proxy is to be delivered.

The Meeting Materials are being sent to both Registered Shareholders and Non-Registered Holders. If you are a Non-Registered Holder, and the Company or its agent has sent the Meeting Materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holding of common shares of the Company have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary holding on your behalf.

By choosing to send the Meeting Materials to you directly, the Company (and not the Intermediary holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering the Meeting Materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the voting instruction form.

All references to shareholders in the Meeting Materials are to Registered Shareholders unless specifically stated otherwise.

At the close of business on September 5, 2025, 167,901,699 common shares without par value of the Company were issued and outstanding, each share carrying the right to one vote.

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on September 5, 2025 who either personally attend the Meeting, or who complete and deliver an instrument of proxy in the manner and subject to the provisions set out under the heading "Appointment and Revocation of Proxies" will be entitled to have their shares voted at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

The following table sets out the information regarding ownership of the Common Shares owned by each person who, to the knowledge of the directors and executive officers, beneficially owns, controls, or directs indirectly or directly, ten percent (10%) or more of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as of the date of this Information Circular.

Stock Option Plan

The Company's stock option plan (the "Option Plan") adopted by the Board on December 11, 2022 was previously amended to better align with TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange" or "TSXV") Policy 4.4 – Security Based Compensation, ("Policy 4.4") and to effect certain other changes as described herein. The Option Plan is administered by the Board who may grant


options (the "Options") to purchase Common Shares of the Company to NEOs, directors, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries or employees of companies providing management or consulting services to the Company or its subsidiaries (an "Eligible Participant").

As of the date hereof, there are 8,225,000 Options outstanding.

The purpose of the Option Plan is to attract, retain, and motivate NEOs, directors, employees and other service providers by providing them with the opportunity, through options, to acquire an interest in the Company and benefit from the Company's growth. Under the Option Plan, the maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance, including Options currently outstanding, is equal to ten (10%) percent of the Common Shares outstanding, on a non-diluted basis, at the time of grant and from time to time (the "10% Maximum"). The 10% Maximum is an "evergreen" provision, meaning that, following the exercise, termination, cancellation or expiration of any Options, a number of Common Shares equivalent to the number of options so exercised, terminated, cancelled or expired would automatically become reserved and available for issuance in respect of future Option grants.

Under the Option Plan, the Board has the power and authority to determine the individuals to whom awards will be granted, and the nature, dates, amounts, exercise prices, vesting periods and other relevant terms of such awards, and to construe and interpret the terms of the Option Plan and outstanding awards. To determine the fair market value of the Shares for purposes of granting an award, the Board uses the closing or last price of the Shares on the Exchange prior to the day on which the Company grants an award.

The Option Plan provides that:

(a) the maximum aggregate number of Common Shares that can be issued pursuant to the exercise of Stock Options is 10% of the Company's current issued and outstanding share capital (on a non-diluted basis);
(b) stock options granted under the Option Plan will have an expiry date not to exceed ten years from the date of grant;
(c) any stock options granted that expire or terminate for any reason without having been exercised will again be available under the Option Plan;
(d) stock options will vest as required by the TSXV, or such other stock exchange which the Company's Common Shares may be listed, and as may be determined by the administrator of the Option Plan, or in the absence of such body, the Board;
(e) the minimum exercise price of any stock options issued under the Option Plan will be determined by the Board at the time of grant, subject to the requirements of the TSXV or such other stock exchange which the Company's Common Shares may be listed;
(f) stock options granted will expire within a reasonable period of time after an optionee ceases to be involved with the Company, but in no case will any stock options be exercisable later than the Expiry Date of such stock option, fixed by the Board at the time the stock option is awarded to the Option Holder.
(g) The number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Option Plan shall:

7


  • not exceed 5% of the issued shares of the Company to any one person in any 12-month period;
  • not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company to any one consultant in any 12-month period; and
  • not exceed an aggregate 2% of issued Shares of the Company to all persons employed to provide Investor Relations Activities, in any 12-month period, calculated on the date the Option is granted to any such person

(h) any options issued to consultants performing investor relations activities must vest in stages over 12 months with no more than 1/4 of the options vested in any three-month period;

(i) in connection with the exercise of an option, as a condition to such exercise the Company may require the optionee to pay to the Company an amount as necessary so as to ensure that the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions of any federal, provincial or local laws relating to the withholding of tax or other required deductions relating to the exercise of such Option; and

(j) if a change of control, as described in the Option Plan, occurs, all unvested options shall immediately become vested (other than options held by persons performing investor relations activities) and may thereon be exercised in whole or in part by the Option Holder, subject to any required approval by the TSXV, or such other stock exchange which the Company's Common Shares may be listed.

The Option Plan also permits "Cashless Exercise" (as defined in TSXV Policy 4.4) whereby the Company may have an arrangement with a brokerage firm pursuant to which the brokerage firm will loan money to an Option Holder to purchase the common shares underlying the Option Holder's Stock Options. The brokerage firm then sells a sufficient number of common shares to cover the exercise price of the Stock Options in order to repay the loan made to the Option Holder. Options held by optionees engaged in "investor relations activities" (as such term is defined in the policies of the Exchange) may not be exercised on a Cashless Exercise or Net Exercise basis.

If there is a change in the outstanding Common Shares by reason of any share reorganization, special distribution, corporate reorganization or any other change to, event affecting, exchange of or corporate change or transaction affecting the Common Shares, the Board shall make, as it shall deem advisable and subject to the requisite approval of the relevant regulatory authorities (including, for certainty, the Exchange), appropriate substitution and/or adjustment for the protection of the rights of Eligible Participants.

The Board may from time to time, subject to applicable law and to the prior approval, if required, of either the Shareholders, the Exchange or any other regulatory body having authority over the Company or the Option Plan, suspend, terminate or discontinue the Option Plan at any time, or amend or revise the terms of the Option Plan or of any Option granted under the Option Plan and the stock option agreement relating thereto, provided that no such amendment, revision, suspension, termination or discontinuance will in any manner adversely affect any Option previously granted to a grantee under the Option Plan without the consent of that grantee.

Options are non-assignable and non-transferrable and are subject to early termination in the event of the death of a participant or in the event a participant ceases to be a NEO, director, employee, consultant, affiliate, or subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be. Subject to the foregoing

8


restrictions, and certain other restrictions set out in the Option Plan, the Board is authorized to provide for the granting of Options and the exercise and method of exercise of options granted under the Option Plan.

The above is subject to the full text of the Option Plan which was included in the Company's Information Circular dated September 21, 2023 and filed on the Company's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca on October 4, 2023. The Option Plan is continuing in the same form, subject to such permitted amendments or revisions as may be made by the Board as described above. For more information, please refer to the heading "Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon - Approval of Stock Option Plan".

The Board determines director compensation from time to time based on a comparison with peer companies (ones at a similar stage of development with similar market capitalizations).

The Company may, from time to time, grant to its directors incentive stock options to purchase common shares in the capital of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Stock Option Plan and in accordance with the policies of the Exchange.

Named Executive Officer Compensation

The Board is responsible for ensuring that the Company's compensation strategy is aligned with performance and shareholder interests. To assist with this, the Board has appointed a Compensation Committee which, at the date of this Information Circular, is comprised of William Bennett and Mark Forsyth who are independent within the meaning of section 1.4 of National Instrument 52-110 Audit Committees.

The main objectives the Company hopes to achieve through its compensation policies are to attract and retain executives critical to the Company's success, who will be key in helping the Company achieve its corporate objectives and increase shareholder value. The Compensation Committee has responsibility for determining compensation for the directors and Named Executive Officers. To determine compensation payable, the Compensation Committee considers compensation paid for directors and CEOs of companies of similar size and stage of development in the mineral exploration and development industry and determines an appropriate compensation reflecting the need to provide incentive and compensation for the time and effort expended by the directors and senior management while taking into account the financial and other resources of the Company. The Compensation Committee also has the responsibility to administer the compensation policies related to the executive management of the Company, including option-based awards.

Due to the small size of the Company and the current level of the Company's activity, the Board of Directors is able to closely monitor and consider any risks which may be associated with the Company's compensation policies and practices. Risks, if any, may be identified and mitigated through regular Board meetings during which financial and other information of the Company are reviewed. No risks have been identified arising from the Company's compensation policies and


practices that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company Executive compensation is comprised of short-term fee compensation and long-term ownership through the Company's Stock Option Plan. This structure ensures that a significant portion of executive compensation (stock options) is both long-term and "at risk" and, accordingly, is directly linked to the achievement of business results and the creation of long-term shareholder value.

During the financial year ended April 30, 2025, Mr. Sorace's compensation as CEO consisted of $225,000, Mr. Cooper's compensation as CFO consisted of $60,000, and Mr. Sharp's compensation as COO consisted of $225,000.

Pension Disclosure

The Company has not provided any form of pension to any of its directors or NEOs.

SECURITIES AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company has an incentive stock option plan under which stock options are granted. Stock options have been determined by the Company's directors and are only granted in compliance with applicable laws and regulatory policy. The policies of the Exchange limit the granting of stock options to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company and provide limits on the length of term, number and exercise price of such options. The Exchange also requires annual approval of stock option plans by shareholders.

The following table sets out equity compensation plan information as at the end of the financial year ended April 30, 2025.

Plan Category Number of securities to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options^{(1)} (a) Weighted-average exercise price of outstanding options (b) Number of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plans (excluding securities reflected in column (a))^{(2)} (c)

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices of the Canadian securities administrators requires the Company to annually disclose certain information regarding its corporate governance practices. Under this heading, the Company is providing the disclosure required by Form 58-101F2.

Board of Directors

The Board has responsibility for the stewardship of the Company including responsibility for strategic planning, identification of the principal risks of the Company's business and implementation of appropriate systems to manage these risks, succession planning (including appointing, training and monitoring senior management), communications with investors and the financial community and the integrity of the Company's internal control and management information systems.

The Board sets long term goals and objectives for the Company and formulates the plans and strategies necessary to achieve those objectives and to supervise senior management in their implementation. The Board delegates the responsibility for managing the day-to-day affairs of the Company to senior management but retains a supervisory role in respect of, and ultimate


responsibility for, all matters relating to the Company and its business. The Board is responsible for protecting shareholders' interests and ensuring that the incentives of the shareholders and of management are aligned.

As part of its ongoing review of business operations, the Board reviews, as frequently as required, the principal risks inherent in the Company's business including financial risks, through periodic reports from management of such risks, and assesses the systems established to manage those risks. Directly and through the Audit Committee, the Board also assesses the integrity of internal control over financial reporting and management information systems.

In addition to those matters that must, by law, be approved by the Board, the Board is required to approve any material dispositions, acquisitions and investments outside the ordinary course of business, long-term strategy, and organizational development plans. Management of the Company is authorized to act without board approval, on all ordinary course matters relating to the Company's business.

The Board also monitors the Company's compliance with timely disclosure obligations and reviews material disclosure documents prior to distribution. The Board is responsible for selecting the President and appointing senior management and for monitoring their performance.

The Board considers that the following directors are "independent" in that they are independent and free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the director's ability to act with the best interests of the Company, other than interests and relationships arising from shareholding: William Bennett, Mark Forsyth and Jay Sujir. The Board considers that Vince Sorace, the CEO of the Company, is not independent because he is a member of management.

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Board is responsible for providing orientation for all new recruits to the Board. Each new director brings a different skill set and professional background, and with this information, the Board is able to determine what orientation to the nature and operations of Kutcho Copper's business will be necessary and relevant to each new director. Kutcho Copper provides continuing education for its directors as the need arises and encourages open discussion at all meetings, which format encourages learning by the directors.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board relies on the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company's governing corporate legislation and common law to ensure the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Company. The Board has found that these, combined with the conflict of interest provisions of the Business Corporations Act (BC), as well as the relevant securities regulatory instruments, to ensure that directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in respect of which a director or executive officer has a material interest.

Nomination of Directors

The Board has elected an Environmental, Social, and Governance ("ESG") Committee to focus on environment, social and governance matters, so that the Company's environment, social and governance management systems are effective in the discharge of the Company's obligations to the Company's stakeholders. The current members are William Bennett and Jay Sujir.

The ESG Committee also assists with respect to the appointment of directors. While there are not specific criteria for board membership, the Company attempts to attract and maintain directors with knowledge relevant to its business, which assists in guiding the management of the Company.

The Board considers its size each year when it considers the number of directors to recommend to the shareholders for election at the annual meeting of shareholders. The Board takes into account the number required to carry out the Board's duties effectively and to maintain a diversity of views and experience in accordance with its Diversity and Inclusion Policy.

Compensation

The Board is responsible for determining all forms of compensation, including long-term incentive in the form of stock options, to be granted to the CEO and the directors, and for reviewing the CEO's recommendations respecting compensation of the other officers of the Company, to ensure such arrangements reflect the responsibilities and risks associated with each position. To assist with this, the board has elected a Compensation Committee which, at the date of this Information Circular, is comprised of two independent directors, William Bennett and Mark Forsyth. When determining the compensation of its officers, the Board considers: (i) recruiting and retaining executives critical to the success of the Company and the enhancement of shareholder value; (ii) providing fair and competitive compensation; (iii) balancing the interests of management and the shareholders; (iv) rewarding performance, both on an individual basis and with respect to operations in general; and (v) permitted compensation under Exchange rules.


15

Other Board Committees

The Board has no other committees other than the Audit Committee, the ESG Committee and the Compensation Committee.

Assessments

The Board reviews its own performance and effectiveness as well as reviews the Audit Committee Mandate and recommends revisions as necessary. Neither Kutcho Copper nor the Board has adopted formal procedures to regularly assess the Board, the committees or the individual directors as to their effectiveness and contribution. Effectiveness is subjectively measured by comparing actual corporate results with stated objectives. The contributions of individual directors are informally monitored by the other Board members, bearing in mind the business strengths of the individual and the purpose of originally nominating the individual to the Board.

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

The Board believes its corporate governance practices are appropriate and effective for Kutcho Copper, given its size and operations. Kutcho Copper's corporate governance practice allows the Company to operate efficiently, with checks and balances that control and monitor management and corporate functions without excessive administrative burden.

16


requirement to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee if such services are less than 5% of the auditor's annual fees charged to the Company, are not recognized as non-audit services at the time of the engagement of the auditor to perform them and are subsequently approved by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of that year's audit), the exemption in subsection 6.1.1(4) (Circumstance Affecting the Business or Operations of the Venture Issuer), the exemption in subsection 6.1.1(5) (Events Outside of Control of Member), the exemption in subsection 6.1.1(6) (Death, Incapacity or Resignation) or an exemption from NI 52-110, in whole or in part, granted by a securities regulator under Part 8 (Exemptions) of NI 52-110.

Bankruptcies

Jay Sujir was on the board of directors of Red Eagle, which owned and operated the Santa Rosa mine in Colombia. Due to start up issues, Red Eagle had difficulty servicing its project debt and the mine was only able to commence commercial production on the basis of forbearances from the secured lenders. In August 2018, Red Eagle obtained a firm commitment from a third party to refinance the debt with substantial concessions and co-operation from the secured lenders, but in October 2018 the third party defaulted on its commitment and as a result, the secured lenders withdrew their forbearances and appointed a receiver-manager over the assets of Red Eagle.
