GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

Solicitation of Proxies

Management of the Corporation is soliciting proxies from Shareholders for the Meeting. The costs incurred in the preparation and mailing of the enclosed form of proxy (the “ Proxy Form ”), Notice of Meeting and this Information Circular will be borne by the Corporation. In addition to solicitation by mail, proxies may be solicited by personal interviews, telephone or other means of communication and by directors, officers and employees of the Corporation, who will not be specifically remunerated therefore.

A Shareholder has the right to appoint a person (who need not be a Shareholder) other than the Management Designees in the Proxy Form to represent the Shareholder at the Meeting and may exercise that right either by inserting the name of the other person in the blank space provided in the Proxy Form or by completing another form of proxy.

The Corporation will not send its proxy-related meeting materials directly to non-objecting beneficial owners under National Instrument 54-101 - Communication With Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (“ NI 54101 ”). The Corporation intends to pay for proximate intermediaries to forward the proxy-related materials and voting instruction form to objecting beneficial owners under NI 54-101.

A proxy will not be valid unless it is deposited with our transfer agent Computershare Investor Services Inc. (“ Computershare ”), (i) by mail using the enclosed return envelope or (ii) by hand delivery to Computershare Investor Services Inc., 8th Floor, 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1.

The website may be used to appoint a proxyholder to attend and vote on a Shareholder’s behalf at the Meeting and to convey a Shareholder’s voting instructions. Please note that if a Shareholder appoints a proxyholder and submits their voting instructions and subsequently wishes to change their appointment, a Shareholder may resubmit their proxy and/or voting direction, prior to the deadline noted above. When resubmitting a proxy, the most recently submitted proxy will be recognized as the only valid one, and all previous proxies submitted will be disregarded and considered as revoked, provided that the last proxy is submitted by the deadline noted above.

REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES

In addition to revocation in any manner permitted by law, you may revoke your Proxy by an instrument in writing signed by you as Registered Shareholder or by your attorney duly authorized in writing. If you are a representative of a Registered Shareholder that is a corporation or association, the instrument in writing must be executed by an officer or by an attorney duly authorized in writing. The revocation must be deposited with the Corporation’s registered office, c/o Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP, Suite 2900, 550 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 0A3 at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, or, as to any matter in respect of which a vote shall not already have been cast pursuant to such Proxy, with the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting, or at any adjournment thereof, and upon either of such deposits the Proxy is revoked.

• (b) any amendment to or variation of any matter identified therein; and

• (c) any other matter that properly comes before the Meeting.

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

At the time of printing of this Information Circular, management of the Corporation knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting other than the matters referred to in the Notice of Meeting. If any other matter properly comes before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed Proxy Form to vote the Common Shares represented thereby in accordance with their best judgment on such matters.

ADVICE TO BENEFICIAL HOLDERS OF SECURITIES

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many Shareholders of the Corporation as some Shareholders do not hold their Common Shares in their own names (“Beneficial Shareholders” ). Beneficial Shareholders should note that only proxies deposited by Shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Corporation as the registered holders of Common Shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Beneficial Shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those Common Shares will not be registered in the Beneficial Shareholder’s name on the records of the Corporation. Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Beneficial Shareholder’s broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the majority of such shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for The Canadian Depositary for Securities Limited, which acts as nominees for many Canadian brokerage firms). Common Shares held by brokers or their nominees can only be voted (for or against resolutions) upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, the broker/nominees are prohibited from voting shares for their clients. The Corporation does not know for whose benefit the Common Shares registered in the name of CDS & Co. are held. Therefore, Beneficial Shareholders cannot be recognized at the Meeting for the purposes of voting the Common Shares in person or by way of proxy except as set forth below. Beneficial Shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their Common Shares are communicated to the appropriate persons.

Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of meetings of Shareholders. Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the Meeting. The form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker often is identical to the Proxy Form provided to registered Shareholders. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered Shareholder (the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“ Broadridge ”). Broadridge typically provides a scannable voting request form or applies a special sticker to the proxy forms, mails those forms to the Beneficial Shareholders and asks Beneficial Shareholders to return the voting request forms or proxy forms to Broadridge. Alternatively, Beneficial Shareholders sometimes are provided with a toll-free telephone number to vote their shares. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of shares to be represented at a meeting of shareholders. A Beneficial Shareholder receiving a voting instruction or proxy from Broadridge or another agent cannot use that proxy to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting as the completed instruction or proxy must be returned as directed by Broadridge or another agent well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted.

Although a Beneficial Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting the Common Shares registered in the name of the Beneficial Shareholder’s broker (or agent of the broker), a Beneficial Shareholder may attend at the Meeting as proxyholder for the registered Shareholder and vote the Common Shares in that capacity. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to attend the Meeting and indirectly vote their Common Shares as proxyholder for the registered Shareholder should enter their own names in the blank spaces on the form of proxy provided to them and return the same to their broker (or the broker’s agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker (or agent) well in advance of the Meeting.

If you are a Beneficial Shareholder and wish to vote in person at the Meeting, please contact your broker or agent well in advance of the Meeting to determine how you can do so.

VOTING DIRECTIONS FOR DEPOSITARY INTERESTS IN CREST

The following instructions are for non-registered beneficial holders who hold their Common Shares through the depositary (the “ Depositary Interests ”), Computershare Investor Services PLC (the “ Depositary ”), as at the Record Date (as defined below). Holders of Depositary Interests can direct the Depositary how to vote their shares or abstain from voting by completing, signing and returning the enclosed form of instruction (the “ Form of Instruction ”). To be valid, the Form of Instruction must be filled out, correctly signed (exactly as the Shareholder’s name appears on the Form of Instruction), and returned by mail using the enclosed envelope, or by courier or hand delivery to The Office of the Depositary, Computershare Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol, UK BS99 6ZY by 09:00 a.m. (BST) on November 21, 2024 (or 72 hours prior to any reconvened Meeting in the event of an

4

adjournment of the Meeting). The Depositary will then vote or abstain from voting on the Shareholder’s behalf at the Meeting, as instructed in the Form of Instruction.

VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

The authorized capital of the Corporation consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares without nominal or par value and an unlimited number of preferred shares. The preferred shares are issuable in one or more series. Only holders of the Common Shares are entitled to vote such Common Shares at the Meeting, on the basis of one vote for each Common Share. As of October 18 , 2024, 293,453,574 Common Shares were issued and outstanding. The Board has fixed October 18, 2024 as the record date (the “ Record Date ”) for the determination of Shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting and at any adjournment thereof, except to the extent that such holder transfers ownership of the Common Shares after the Record Date, in which case the transferee shall be entitled to vote such Common Shares upon establishing ownership and requesting not later than ten days before the Meeting, to be included in the list of Shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting.

To the knowledge of the directors or executive officers of the Corporation, no person beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, controls or directs, directly or indirectly, voting shares carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to any class of voting securities of the Corporation, as at the date hereof, except the following.

VOTES NECESSARY TO PASS RESOLUTIONS AT THE MEETING

A simple majority of affirmative votes cast at the Meeting by the Shareholders is required to pass the resolutions electing the directors, appointing the auditors and re-approving the Corporation’s amended and restated stock option plan, approved by the Shareholders at the Corporation’s last annual meeting held on October 25, 2023 (the “ Stock Option Plan ”), re-approving the Corporation’s amended and restated enterprise management incentive share option plan, as approved by the Shareholders at the Corporation’s last annual meeting held on October 25, 2023 (the “ EMI Plan ”) and re-approving the Corporation’s restricted share unit plan, as approved by the Shareholders at the Corporation’s last annual meeting held on October 25, 2023 (the “ RSU Plan ”), as required by the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (“ TSXV ”). If there are more nominees for election as directors than there are vacancies to fill, those nominees receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected or appointed, as the case may be, until all such vacancies have been filled. If the number of nominees for election or appointment is equal to the number of vacancies to be filled, all such nominees will be declared elected or appointed by acclamation.

QUORUM

Under the Corporation’s Articles, a quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of shareholders is two persons present who are, or who represent by proxy, shareholders who, in aggregate, hold at least 5% of the issued shares entitled to be voted at the Meeting. Under the Corporation’s Articles and the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (“ BCBCA ”), if a quorum is present at the opening of the Meeting, the Shareholders present may proceed with the business of the Meeting notwithstanding that a quorum is not present throughout the Meeting. If a quorum is not present at the opening of the Meeting, the Shareholders present may adjourn the Meeting to a fixed time and place but may not transact any other business.

Corporate Cease Trade Orders or Bankruptcies

No director of the Corporation is, or has been within the past ten years, a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of any company that, while such person was acting in that capacity:

• (a) was the subject of a cease trade order, an order similar to a cease trade order or an order that denied the Corporation access to any exemptions under securities legislation, and that was in effect for a period of more than 30 consecutive days; or

• (b) was the subject of a cease trade order, an order similar to a cease trade order or an order that denied the Corporation access to any exemptions under securities legislation, and that was in effect for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, that was issued after that individual ceased to be a director or chief executive officer or chief financial officer and which resulted from an event that occurred while such person was acting in a capacity as a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer.

No director of the Corporation is, or has been within the past ten years, a director or executive officer of any company that, while such person was acting in that capacity or within a year of that individual 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.

No director of the Corporation has been subject to any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to Canadian securities legislation or by a Canadian securities regulatory authority or has entered into a settlement agreement with a Canadian securities regulatory authority or been subject to any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court, or regulatory body that would likely be considered important to a reasonable security holder in deciding to vote for a director.

APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS

On October 2, 2024 BDO LLP resigned as auditors of the Corporation.

The Board resolved on October 8, 2024 that MNP LLP be appointed as auditors of the Corporation to replace BDO LLP. BDO LLP was first appointed as the Corporation’s auditor on November 26, 2020.

There have been no reportable disagreements between the Corporation and BDO LLP and no qualified opinions or denials of opinions by BDO LLP for the purposes of National Instrument 51-102. A copy of the Corporation’s Reporting Package with respect to the resignation of BDO LLP and appointment of MNP LLP as auditor of the Corporation (including the Notice of Change of Auditor, a letter from BDO LLP and a letter from MNP LLP) is attached as Appendix “A” to this Information Circular.

APPROVAL OF STOCK OPTION PLAN

General

The Corporation’s amended and restated option plan (the “ Stock Option Plan ”) was last approved by the Shareholders at the Corporation’s annual meeting held on October 25, 2023.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to re-approve the Stock Option Plan of the Corporation. Re-approval of the Stock Option Plan is being sought in accordance with policies of the TSXV, whereby issuers whose security based compensation plans which reserve shares for issuance upon the exercise of options based on a percentage of the issuer’s issued and outstanding shares rather than a fixed number (“ Rolling Plans ”), must have such plans approved by the Shareholders annually. The Shareholders will therefore be asked at the Meeting to vote on a resolution to re-approve the Stock Option Plan.

Description of Stock Option Plan

The Stock Option Plan (as well as the other Share Compensation Arrangements, as defined below) was established to recognize contributions made by directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Corporation, to provide incentives to qualified parties to increase their proprietary interest in the Corporation and to thereby encourage their continuing association with the Corporation. The Board administers the Stock Option Plan and it is their responsibility to ensure that the provisions of the Stock Option Plan are adhered to.

A copy of the Stock Option Plan has been filed on SEDARplus and is available on the Corporation’s website.

9

Eligible Participants

Participation in the Stock Option Plan is limited to any person who is a director, officer, employee or consultant of the Corporation or of its subsidiaries, as the Board may designate such person as a participant under the Stock Option Plan (each, a “ Stock Option Plan Participant ”).

Transferability

Options granted under the Stock Option Plan are not transferable or assignable other than by will or by the laws of succession. In the case of the death of a Stock Option Plan Participant, any vested option held by such Stock Option Plan Participant at their date of death will become exercisable by the Stock Option Plan Participant’s lawful personal representatives, heirs or executors until the earlier of one year after the date of death of such Stock Option Plan Participant and the date of expiration of the term otherwise applicable to such option.

Grant of Options

All Options under the Stock Option Plan are granted by means of an agreement between the Corporation and a Stock Option Plan Participant in a form approved by the Board and will expire not later than the tenth anniversary of the date such Options were granted or such other length of time as may be permitted by the TSXV or such other exchange on which the Common Shares are listed.

Rights as Shareholders/Payment of Dividend Equivalents

Stock Option Plan Participants have no rights as Shareholders in respect of any of the Common Shares underlying their Options (including any rights to receive dividends or other distributions, or voting rights), until such time as they have exercised their Options for Common Shares.

Exercise Price of Options

The Board determines the purchase price for Common Shares under the Options but in no event shall the price be less than the market price (as defined in policies of the TSXV or such other exchange that the Common Shares may be listed on) less any permitted discounts.

Option Limits

If and for so long as the Common Shares are listed on the TSXV, the number of Common Shares which may be issuable under the Stock Option Plan, together with any other stock option plan, employee stock purchase plan, restricted share unit plan or other compensation or incentive mechanism involving the issuance or potential issue of Common Shares of the Corporation (each, a “ Share Compensation Arrangement ”) shall be limited to 10 percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Corporation, calculated as at the date of grant (on a nondiluted basis) (the “ Optioned Shares ”). In addition, the number of Common Shares which may be issuable under the Stock Option Plan, together with each other Share Compensation Arrangement, within any 12 month period: (i) to any Stock Option Plan Participant, will not exceed 5% of the total issued and outstanding Common Shares on the grant date on a non-diluted basis (unless the Corporation has obtained the requisite disinterested Shareholder approval), (ii) to any one consultant will not exceed 2% of the then issued Common Shares; (iii) to all Stock Option Plan Participants conducting investor relations activities, will not exceed 2% of issued and outstanding Common Shares on the grant date on a non-diluted basis; (iv) to Insiders (as such term is defined in the Stock Option Plan) (as a group), will not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Corporation (unless the Corporation has obtained the requisite disinterested Shareholder approval), calculated as at the grant date on a nondiluted basis; and (v) to Insiders (as a group), will not exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares at any time (unless the Corporation has obtained the requisite disinterested Shareholder approval). Any Option grant to a Stock Option Plan Participant performing investor relations activities must vest in stages over no less than 12 months with no more than 1/4 of the Options vesting in any three month period.

Termination of Employment

If a Stock Option Plan Participant is dismissed as a director, officer, employee or consultant by the Corporation or by one of its subsidiaries without Cause (as such term is defined in the Stock Option Plan), all unvested options of that Participant under the Stock Option Plan will automatically vest and such Participant shall have the right, for a period

10

not exceeding 90 days from the date of such dismissal, to exercise the option under the Stock Option Plan with respect to all Common Shares underlying any Options of such Participant.

If a Stock Option Plan Participant ceases to be a director, officer, employee or consultant of the Corporation or of one of its subsidiaries as a result of:

• (i) disability or illness preventing such Participant from performing the duties routinely performed by such Participant;

• (ii) retirement at the normal retirement age prescribed by the Corporation pension plan;

• (iii) resignation; or

• (iv) such other circumstances as may be approved by the board of directors

such Participant will have the right for a period not exceeding 90 days from the date of ceasing to be a director, officer, employee, consultant (or, if earlier, until the expiry date of the option rights of the Participant pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement) to exercise the option under the Stock Option Plan with respect to all optioned Common Shares of such Participant to the extent they were exercisable on the date of ceasing to be a director, officer, employee or consultant.

Change of Control

If, at any time when an Option remains unexercised with respect to any Common Shares underlying any Options, an offer to purchase all of the common shares of the Corporation is made by a third party, the Corporation will use its best efforts to bring such offer to the attention of the Stock Option Plan Participants as soon as practicable and the Corporation may, at its option, require the acceleration of the time for the exercise of the option rights granted under the Stock Option Plan and of the time for the fulfillment of any conditions or restrictions on such exercise.

See also “ Executive Compensation ” –“ Stock Option Plan ” below for additional information about the Stock Option Plan.

The aggregate number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of all options granted under the Stock Option Plan, together with securities issued under any other Share Compensation Arrangement, cannot exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.

Shareholder Approval Being Sought

Pursuant to the rules of the TSXV, the Stock Option Plan must be passed by a majority of the votes cast on an ordinary resolution by Shareholders at the Meeting. The Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass the following ordinary resolution re-approving the Stock Option Plan:

APPROVAL OF ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN, AS AMENDED

General

The Corporation’s amended enterprise management incentive plan (the “ EMI Plan ”) was last approved by Shareholders at the Corporation’s annual meeting held on October 25, 2023.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought appropriate, to pass, with or without variation, a resolution to re-approve the EMI Plan.

Pursuant to policies of the TSXV, the re-approval of the EMI Plan requires approval by a simple majority of Shareholders. The EMI Plan provides the Corporation with a vehicle by which equity-based incentives may be awarded to the UK-based employees of the Corporation or its subsidiaries in a tax-efficient manner to recognize and reward their significant contributions to the long-term success of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, including to align such employees’ interests more closely with Shareholders.

Description of EMI Plan

A copy of the EMI Plan has been filed on SEDARplus and is available on the Corporation’s website.

Eligible Participants

Participation in the EMI Plan is restricted to employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries who: (i) are required to spend on average at least the statutorily required minimum time on the business of the Corporation or its group companies, (ii) do not, together with Associates (as defined in the EMI Plan), have a Material Interest (defined to be 30% or more of the issued and outstanding Common Shares), and (iii) do not have Associates who have a Material Interest (each, an “ EMI Eligible Person ”).

Transferability

Options granted under the EMI Plan (each, an “ EMI Option ”) are not transferable or assignable other than by operation of law on death. In the case of the death of an EMI Option Holder, any vested EMI Option held by an EMI Option Holder at the date of their death will become exercisable by the EMI Option Holder’s lawful personal representatives, heirs or executors until the earlier of one year after the date of death of such EMI Option Holder and the date of expiration of the term otherwise applicable to such option.

Grant of EMI Options

The EMI Plan permits the Corporation to grant EMI Options to EMI Eligible Persons and to determine the vesting schedule applicable to such EMI Options.

Following vesting, an EMI Option Holder will be entitled to exercise their EMI Options to purchase Common Shares at the exercise price included in the option agreement entered into by the EMI Eligible Person and the Corporation on the date on which the EMI Option is granted.

The term of an EMI Option cannot be extended, so that its effective term exceeds 10 years in total.

12

Exercise Price of EMI Options

The Board determines the purchase price for Common Shares under the EMI Options but in no event shall the price be less than the market price (as defined in policies of the TSXV or such other exchange that the Common Shares may be listed on) less any permitted discounts.

EMI Option Limits

No EMI Options may be granted which would cause the total Market Value (as such term is defined in the EMI Plan) of the Common Shares that can be acquired on exercise of all EMI Options at the relevant grant dates to exceed £3 million.

If and for so long as the Common Shares are listed on the TSXV, the number of Common Shares which may be issuable under the EMI Plan, together with any other Share Compensation Arrangement, shall be limited to 10 percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Corporation, calculated as at the date of grant (on a nondiluted basis). In addition, if and for so long as the Common Shares are listed on the TSXV, the number of Common Shares which may be issuable under the EMI Plan, together with any other Share Compensation Arrangement, within any one-year period: (i) to any EMI Eligible Person, will not exceed 5% of the total issued and outstanding Common Shares on the grant date on a non-diluted basis (unless the Corporation has obtained the requisite disinterested Shareholder approval), (ii) to Insiders as a group, will not exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares on the grant date on a non-diluted basis (unless the Corporation has obtained the requisite disinterested Shareholder approval); (iii) to all EMI Eligible Persons conducting investor relations activities, will not exceed 2% of issued and outstanding Common Shares on the grant date on a non-diluted basis; and (iv) to Insiders (as a group), will not exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares at any time (unless the Corporation has obtained the requisite disinterested Shareholder approval). Any EMI Options issued to EMI Eligible Persons performing investor relations activities must vest in stages over no less than 12 months with no more than 1/4 of the EMI Options vesting in any three month period.

In addition, no EMI Option will be granted to an EMI Eligible Person which would cause the total Market Value at the relevant grant dates of the Common Shares that an EMI Eligible Person may acquire on exercise of the EMI Options to exceed £249,999.

Termination of Employment

An EMI Option Holder who gives or receives notice of termination of employment (whether or not lawful) and an EMI Option Holder who ceases to be an Employee (whether or not following notice) may not exercise an EMI Option at any time while the notice remains effective or after ceasing to be an Employee, except that where the EMI Option Holder ceases to be an employee as a result of death, disability, retirement, resignation, dismissal without Cause (as defined in the EMI Plan) or such other circumstances as may be approved by the Board, the EMI Option will be exercisable, to the extent vested, during a period ending no later than 90 days after cessation or until the expiration date of the EMI Option. In all of these cases, EMI Options will be exercisable only to the extent that they have vested on the termination date except that where an EMI Option Holder is dismissed without Cause (as defined in the EMI Plan), its unvested EMI Options will become exercisable in full during a period ending no later than 90 days after cessation or until the expiration date of the EMI Option.

Change of Control

If an offer to purchase all of the Common Shares is made by a third party, the Corporation will be required to use its best efforts to bring such offer to the attention of EMI Option Holders as soon as practicable and the Corporation may, at its option, require the acceleration of the time for the exercise of EMI Options and for the fulfilment of any conditions or restrictions on such exercise.

Shareholder Approval Being Sought

Pursuant to the rules of the TSXV, the EMI Plan must be passed by a majority of the votes cast on an ordinary resolution by Shareholders at the Meeting. The Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass the following ordinary resolution approving the EMI Plan:

“ BE IT RESOLVED AS AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION THAT :

1. the EMI Plan, in the form filed on SEDARplus on September 14, 2023, is hereby re-approved as the enterprise management incentive stock option plan of the Corporation;

2. the Corporation be authorized to grant EMI Options pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of the EMI Plan;

3. the form of EMI Plan may be amended in order to satisfy the requirements or requests of any regulatory authorities without requiring further approval of the Shareholders of the Corporation;

4. the number of common shares of the Corporation issuable under the EMI Plan, together with securities issuable under any other stock option plan, employee stock purchase plan, restricted share unit plan or other compensation or incentive mechanism involving the issuance or potential issue of Common Shares of the Corporation, be set at a maximum of 10% of the aggregate number of Common Shares issued and outstanding from time to time subject to any limitations imposed by applicable laws, rules, regulation and policies;

5. the continuation of the 1,680,000 options outstanding on the date hereof under the EMI Plan of the Corporation (and such other options as may be issued prior to the date of the Meeting in accordance with the terms of the EMI Plan), without amendment to their terms except as required to comply with the EMI Plan be authorized and approved; and

6. any one director or officer of the Corporation be and is hereby authorized and directed for and on behalf of the Corporation to execute, deliver and file any and all declarations, agreements, documents and other instruments and do all such other acts and things that may be necessary or desirable to give effect to the foregoing.”

The foregoing resolution must be approved by a simple majority of the votes cast by Shareholders at the Meeting by the Shareholders voting in person or by proxy. The Management Designees, unless instructed otherwise, intend to vote to re-approve the EMI Plan, in the form filed on SEDARplus on September 14, 2023.

APPROVAL OF RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT PLAN, AS AMENDED

General

The Corporation’s amended restricted share unit plan (the “ RSU Plan ”) was last approved by Shareholders at the Corporation’s annual meeting held on October 25, 2023.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought appropriate, to pass, with or without variation, a resolution to re-approve the RSU Plan.

Description of RSU Plan

A copy of the RSU Plan has been filed on SEDARplus and is available on the Corporation’s website.

Eligible Participants

Participation in the RSU Plan is restricted to employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries (an “ RSU Eligible Person ”).

Transferability

RSUs are not transferable or assignable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. In the case of death of an RSU Eligible Person who has been issued RSUs (“ RSU Holder ”), all RSUs will be deemed to have vested on the date of death of the RSU Holder and must be redeemed by no later than one year following the death of the RSU Holder.

Grant of RSUs

The RSU Plan permits the Remuneration Committee of the Board, or if there is no such committee, the Board, to grant awards of RSUs to an RSU Eligible Person and to determine the RSU Redemption Date applicable to such

14

RSUs. In addition, the Committee may, at its sole discretion, at the time of the grant of RSUs, make such RSUs subject to performance conditions to be achieved by the Corporation to entitle the holder thereof to receive the Common Shares.

Following vesting, the RSUs will be redeemed on or about (but not later than 30 days following) each applicable RSU Redemption Date (as defined in the RSU Plan) (the “ RSU Redemption Date ”), and the RSU Holder will be entitled to receive and the Corporation will issue to such RSU Holder, as applicable: (i) the number of Common Shares equal to the numbers of RSUs vested on the RSU Redemption Date. The RSU Redemption Date in respect of any RSU is the date provided for in the agreement granting the RSUs or if no date is set, the tenth (10[th] ) anniversary of the grant date, unless otherwise provided for in the RSU Plan. The Remuneration Committee has the discretion to stipulate the length of time for vesting and to determine various performance objectives based on certain business criteria as a pre-condition to an RSU vesting.

Payment of Dividend Equivalents

When dividends are paid on Common Shares, an RSU Holder shall be credited with dividend equivalents in respect of the RSUs credited to such RSU Holder’s Account as of the record date for payment of dividends provided however that the Corporation shall be entitled to make a payment in cash in lieu of issuing Common Shares if the number of Common Shares available for issuance under the RSU Plan have been exhausted. Such dividend equivalents shall be converted into additional RSUs (including fractional RSUs) based on the fair market value per Common Share on the date credited and redeemed on the date of redemption, of the RSUs with respect to which the dividend equivalent was granted.

Maximum Number of Common Shares Issued

The number of Common Shares which may be reserved for issuance under the RSU Plan for the redemption of RSUs granted under the RSU Plan, provided that, all RSUs granted shall be deemed to be redeemed into Common Shares for the purposes of this calculation, shall not exceed 15,000,000 Common Shares (the “ RSU Limit ”), which represents no more than 10% of the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares on the date of the adoption of the RSU Plan. Notwithstanding the RSU Limit, however, no RSUs may be issued under the RSU Plan if such issuance, when aggregated with the number of Common Shares which may be issuable under all other share compensation arrangements, would exceed 10% of the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares at the time of the grant, subject to customary adjustments in accordance with the RSU Plan and, if required by the TSXV Policies or any other stock exchange on which the Common Shares of the Corporation may then be listed, and by the shareholders of the Corporation.

If and for so long as the Common Shares are listed on the TSXV, the number of Common Shares which may be issuable under the RSU Plan for the redemption of RSUs granted under such plan, and any other share compensation arrangement, within any one-year period: (i) to any RSU Eligible Person, will not exceed 5% of the total issued and outstanding Common Shares on the grant date on a non-diluted basis (unless the Corporation has obtained the requisite disinterested Shareholder approval), (ii) to Insiders as a group, will not exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares on the grant date on a non-diluted basis (unless the Corporation has obtained the requisite disinterested Shareholder approval), provided that, in determining the number of Common Shares issuable, all RSUs granted shall be deemed to be redeemed into Common Shares; and (iii) to Insiders as a group, will not exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares at any time (unless the Corporation has obtained the requisite disinterested Shareholder approval).

If and for so long as the Common Shares are listed on the TSXV, no RSUs will be granted under the RSU Plan to any RSU Eligible Person whose role and duties primarily consist of Investor Relations Activities, as defined under TSXV policies.

Termination of Employment

If, prior to an RSU Redemption Date, an RSU Eligible Person terminates its employment in accordance with its employment agreement with the Corporation or a subsidiary, or where the Corporation or a subsidiary terminates the employment of RSU Eligible Person, provided no circumstances amounting to Cause (as defined in the RSU Plan) exist, the RSU Redemption Date will be deemed to be the date on which the termination of such employment

15

takes effect and all RSUs granted to such RSU Eligible Person and outstanding under the RSU Plan will, on such termination date, immediately vest and be redeemed in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan.

If, prior to an RSU Redemption Date, the employment of an RSU Eligible Person is terminated by the Corporation or a subsidiary or by an RSU Eligible Person where Cause exists or if an RSU Eligible Person voluntarily terminates its employment other than in accordance with its employment agreement, all of the RSU Eligible Person’s RSUs will be cancelled and no amount will be paid by the Corporation to such RSU Eligible Person in respect of the RSUs so cancelled.

Change of Control

In the event of a change of control of the Corporation, all RSUs granted to RSU Eligible Persons and outstanding under the RSU Plan will immediately vest and will be redeemed.

Shareholder Approval Being Sought

Pursuant to rules of the TSXV, the RSU Plan must be passed by a majority of the votes cast on an ordinary resolution by Shareholders at the Meeting. The Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass the following ordinary resolution approving the RSU Plan:

“ BE IT RESOLVED AS AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION THAT :

1. the RSU Plan, in the form filed on SEDARplus on September 8, 2022, is hereby re-approved as the restricted share unit plan of the Corporation;

2. the Corporation be authorized to grant restricted share units pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of the RSU Plan;

3. the form of RSU Plan may be amended in order to satisfy the requirements or requests of any regulatory authorities without requiring further approval of the Shareholders of the Corporation;

4. the number of common shares of the Corporation issuable under the RSU Plan be set at a maximum of 15,000,000 Common Shares (the “ RSU Limit ”), provided that notwithstanding the RSU Limit, no additional RSUs may be issued under the RSU Plan if such issuance, when aggregated with the number of issued and outstanding common shares which may be issuable under each other share compensation arrangement of the Corporation, would exceed 10% of the number of issued and outstanding common shares at the time of grant, subject to any limitations imposed by applicable laws, rules, regulation and policies;

5. the continuation of the 8,612,024 restricted share units outstanding on the date hereof under the RSU Plan of the Corporation (and such other restricted share units as may be issued prior to the date of the Meeting in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan), without amendment to their terms except as required to comply with the RSU Plan, be authorized and approved; and

6. any one director or officer of the Corporation be and is hereby authorized and directed for and on behalf of the Corporation to execute, deliver and file any and all declarations, agreements, documents and other instruments and do all such other acts and things that may be necessary or desirable to give effect to the foregoing.”

The foregoing resolution must be approved by a simple majority of the votes cast by Shareholders at the Meeting by the Shareholders voting in person or by proxy. The Management Designees, unless instructed otherwise, intend to vote to re-approve the RSU Plan as filed on SEDARplus on September 8, 2022.

There is no employment contract, compensatory plan, or other arrangement in place with the Named Executive Officers, nor are there any agreements between the Corporation and the Named Executive Officers that provide for payment to the Named Executive Officers of the Corporation in connection with any termination, resignation, retirement or change in responsibilities of the Named Executive Officers, except as discussed under the section entitled “Executive Compensation” and other than pursuant to the Employment Agreements with William Dawes and Alexander Lemon which provide that:

• a) upon termination without cause, the employee will be entitled to an amount equal to 1.5 times the employee’s annual salary; and

19

• b) upon a Change of Control (as defined below), the consultant will be entitled to an amount equal to 1.5 times the employee’s annual salary.

The payments above upon termination without cause and Change of Control are in addition to the employee’s entitlements under the Stock Option Plan, the EMI Plan and the RSU Plan, as described above.

Under the respective Employment Agreements, a “ Change of Control ” shall occur if:

• a) a person, or persons acting jointly or in concert, beneficially holds more than 50% of the voting securities of the Corporation and, as a result, can exercise the right to elect a majority of the members of the Board;

• b) any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with, or sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets or business to, another person (other than an affiliate of the Corporation);

• c) there is a sale of ownership of 50% or more of the voting securities of the Corporation to another person (other than to an affiliate or subsidiary of the Corporation);

• d) a person, or persons acting jointly or in concert, as a result of any powers conferred by the articles of association or any other document or law/stock exchange regulation regulating the Corporation can direct that the affairs of the Corporation are conducted in accordance with their wishes; or

• d) any similar transaction or combination of the foregoing which would have substantially the same effect as any of the foregoing.

Consulting Agreements

Since Lancaster’s incorporation in 2007, Leominex has been providing services to Lancaster. This arrangement was formalized by the entering into of a service provision agreement between Leominex and Lancaster on September 20, 2010 (the “ Services Agreement ”). Pursuant to the terms of the Services Agreement, Leominex provides Lancaster with a variety of services, including administrative, financial and accounting, office equipment, title maintenance, human resource planning and advice, geological and other services (the “ Services ”). Leominex’s registered address is Jayla Place, Wickhams Cay 1, P.O. Box 3190, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands, VG1110. In addition to being directors of the Corporation, William Dawes, Alexander Lemon and Shaun Treacy are also directors of Leominex.

Other than pursuant to the Services Agreement, there are no management functions of the Corporation which are to any substantial degree performed by a person or company other than the directors or executive officers of the Corporation.

Oversight and description of director and named executive officer compensation

The Corporation’s compensation philosophy is to provide competitive compensation with a view to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified executive officers capable of achieving the Corporation’s strategic and performance objectives and ultimately creating and preserving shareholder value. Consistent with this philosophy, the Corporation’s compensation program is designed to achieve the following key objectives:

• recruit, inspire and retain highly skilled executives;

• reward those who meet and exceed both short-term operational and long-term strategic goals; and

• align the interests of executives with corporate performance, and therefore Shareholders’ interests.

The Board has not formally considered the implications of risks associated with the Corporation’s compensation policies and practices as, in their view, the current structure of the Corporation’s executive compensation arrangements is focused on long-term value and is designed to correlate to the long-term performance of the Corporation, which includes but is not limited to performance of its share price.

The NEOs (as defined below) and directors of the Corporation are not formally prohibited from purchasing financia instruments designed to hedge or offset a decrease in the market value of shares, including shares granted underlying share-based compensation or otherwise held directly or indirectly by an NEO or a director. In the view of the Board, the structure and nature of directors and executive compensation is designed to reduce the need to hedge or offset any potential decrease in the price of shares of the Corporation and is adequate to ensure that the interests of the directors and NEOs are adequately aligned with those of the Corporation generally.

20

Elements of Compensation Program

As discussed in further detail below, the Corporation’s compensation program is comprised of two main elements:

• (1) base salaries;

• (2) long-term incentives in the form of security-based awards.

These components are combined to provide a compensation package that is designed to attract, retain and motivate the executive management of the Corporation with competitive remuneration packages. The remuneration policy is aligned to the Corporation’s appetite for risk and long-term strategic goals. A proportion of remuneration is structured so as to link rewards to corporate and individual performance and designed to promote the long-term success of the Corporation. In determining such policy, the remuneration committee takes into account all factors which it deems necessary, including relevant legal and regulatory requirements and the provisions and recommendations of relevant regulator guidance.

Base Salary

The primary element of the Corporation’s compensation program is base salary. The Corporation’s view is that a competitive base salary is a necessary element for attracting and retaining qualified executive officers. The amount payable to a named executive officer (“ Named Executive Officer ” or “ NEO ”) as base salary is determined primarily by past performance, anticipated future contribution and internal value of the NEOs.

Stock Options, EMI Options and Restricted Share Units

The Stock Option Plan, the EMI Plan and the RSU Plan are intended to align NEOs’ long-term incentives with the interests of Shareholders. Under the Stock Option Plan and EMI Plan, options are awarded to senior executives for present and potential contribution to the performance of the Corporation. Options issued by the Corporation vest over time and have a maximum ten-year term, providing incentives to executives to support long-term corporate goals and Shareholder interests, further encouraging the long-term retention of such individuals. The grant of option-based awards to NEOs is approved by the Board.

Individual grants under the Stock Option Plan, the EMI Plan and the RSU Plan are determined by an assessment by the Board (who will receive recommendations from the Remuneration Committee) of an NEO’s current and expected performance, contribution to the Corporation, level of responsibility, importance of position and taking into account the number of options already held by the individual.

SECURITIES AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

The following table sets out equity compensation plan information as at the end of the financial year ended December 31, 2023:

	Number of securities to be issued upon exercise of outstanding Stock Options, EMI Options, RSUs, warrants and rights	Weighted-average exercise price of outstanding Stock Options, EMI Options, RSUs, warrants and rights	Number of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plans
Equity compensation plans approved by securityholders	26,530,358	US$0.10(1)	2,814,999
Equity compensation plans not approved by securityholders	Nil	Nil	Nil
Total	26,530,358	US$0.10(1)	2,814,999

Notes:

(1) Assumes that the RSUs have an exercise price of $0.00. If the RSUs were excluded from the calculation, the weighted-average price of the outstanding Stock Options and EMI Options would be US$0.15.

21

The Stock Option Plan provides for the issuance of stock options to acquire up to that number of Common Shares that is equal to 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. This is a Rolling Plan. The Stock Option Plan was established to recognize contributions made by directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Corporation, to provide incentives to qualified parties to increase their proprietary interest in the Corporation and thereby encourage their continuing association with the Corporation. The Board administers the Stock Option Plan and it is their responsibility to ensure that the provisions of the Stock Option Plan are adhered to. Under the Stock Option Plan, options are issued pursuant to option agreements to directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation. Options issued under the Stock Option Plan expire on a date not later than ten years after the issuance of such option. As at the date hereof, there are 16,238,334 Stock Options outstanding and vested under the Stock Option Plan to purchase Common Shares, representing approximately 5.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.

See “ Approval of Enterprise Management Incentive Plan, as amended – Description of EMI Plan ” for a description of the EMI Plan. As of the date hereof, there are 1,680,000 EMI Options outstanding under the EMI Plan to purchase Common Shares representing approximately 0.6% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.

See “ Approval of Restricted Share Unit Plan, as amended – Description of RSU Plan ” for a description of the RSU Plan. As of the date hereof, there are 8,612,024 RSUs outstanding under the RSU Plan to purchase Common Shares representing approximately 2.9% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.

INTERESTS OF INFORMED PERSONS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

No director or executive officer of the Corporation, nor any person who has held such a position since the beginning of the last completed financial year end of the Corporation, nor any proposed nominee for election as a director of the Corporation, nor any associate or affiliate of the foregoing persons, has any substantial or material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted on at the Meeting other than the election of directors and the grant of Stock Options, EMI Options and RSUs which may be granted to such persons upon approval of the Stock Option Plan, EMI Plan and RSU Plan and as may be set out herein.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

Since Lancaster’s incorporation in 2007, Leominex has been providing management and other services to Lancaster. This arrangement was formalized by the entering into of a service provision agreement between Leominex and Lancaster on September 20, 2010 (the “ Services Agreement ”). Pursuant to the terms of the Services Agreement, Leominex provides Lancaster with a variety of services, including administrative, financial and accounting, office equipment, title maintenance, human resource planning and advice, geological and other services (the “ Services ”). Leominex’s registered address is Jayla Place, Wickhams Cay 1, P.O. Box 3190, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands, VG1110.

Other than pursuant to the Services Agreement and the Management Services Agreement, there are no management functions of the Corporation which are to any substantial degree performed by a person or company other than the directors or executive officers of the Corporation.

22

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Corporate governance relates to the activities of the Board, the members of which are elected by and are accountable to the Shareholders, and takes into account the role of the individual members of management who are appointed by the Board and who are charged with the day to day management of the Corporation. The Board is committed to sound corporate governance practices, which are both in the interest of its Shareholders and contribute to effective and efficient decision making.

Pursuant to National Instrument 58-101 - Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“ NI 58-101 ”), the Corporation is required to disclose its corporate governance practices as summarized below.

Board of Directors

The Board facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over the Corporation’s management through frequent meetings. The Board is currently composed of six directors, four of whom are considered to be independent for purposes of NI 58-101. The independent members of the Board are Derek Linfield, Susan Muir, Shaun Treacy and Philipa Varris. Alexander Lemon is not considered an independent director as he is the President of the Corporation, William Dawes is not considered independent as he is the CEO of the Corporation.

The Board may meet independently of management as needed. Although they are permitted to do so, the independent directors do not hold regularly scheduled meetings at which non-independent directors and members of management are not in attendance. To facilitate independent judgment among the Board, the Board encourages open and transparent discussions in carrying out its various functions. Furthermore, the Board is in regular formal and informal contact and independent directors are continually provided with the opportunity to be fully apprised of the Corporation’s plans and to question management as required.

Directorships

The following Company’s directors also hold position in other reporting issuers as follows:

Name	Name and Jurisdiction of the Reporting Issuer	Market	Position(s) with Other Issuer	From	To
Philipa Varris	Envirogold Global Limited	Canadian Securities Exchange	Director	August 23, 2021	Present

Attendance

The following table sets forth the attendance by directors of formal board meetings held during the year ended December 31, 2023:

Name	Board Meetings Attended (in person or by telephone)
Derek Linfield	11
William Dawes	10
Alexander Lemon	11
Susan Muir	11
Shaun Treacy	11
Philipa Varris(2)	3
Stephen Motteram(1)	11

Notes:

(1) Stephen Motteram resigned as director on December 14, 2023.

(2) Philipa Varris was appointed as director on May 24, 2023

23

Position Descriptions

While the Board has not codified written descriptions of the Chair of the Board and each committee, the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer, the Corporation and the Board delineate the roles and responsibilities of each position through frequent and transparent communication with each other regarding such roles and responsibilities.

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Corporation takes appropriate steps to assist new directors of the Corporation to develop an understanding of (i) the role of the Board and its committees; (ii) the contribution that directors are expected to make to the Board; and (iii) the nature and operation of the Corporation’s business. The Corporation also provides all directors appropriate opportunities when required to maintain or enhance their skills and abilities as directors and ensure that their knowledge and understanding of the Corporation’s business remains current.

In order to orient new directors regarding the role of the Board, its committees and directors, including the business and operations of the Corporation, all potential new directors are given the opportunity to meet with the Chief Executive Officer and other directors to ask questions and become familiar with the Corporation prior to being elected as a director.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board has not adopted a written code for the directors, officers and employees but may consider doing so in the future. The Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Corporation’s governing corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual director’s participation in decisions of the Board in which the director has an interest have been sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Corporation.

Under corporate legislation, a director is required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation and exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. In addition, as some of the directors of the Corporation also serve as directors and officers of other companies engaged in similar business activities, directors must comply with the conflict of interest provisions of the BCBCA, as well as the relevant securities regulatory instruments, in order to ensure that directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in respect of which a director or officer has a material interest. Any interested director would be required to declare the nature and extent of his interest and would not be entitled to vote at meetings of directors, which evoke such a conflict.

Nomination of Directors

The Board has not appointed a nominating committee. The Board determines new nominees to the Board although no formal process has been adopted. The nominees are generally the result of recruitment efforts by the Board including both formal and informal discussions among the directors and officers.

Compensation

A copy of the Remuneration Committee Charter was filed on SEDARplus on September 10, 2021, describing the responsibilities, powers and operation of the Remuneration Committee. The table below lists the members of the Remuneration Committee following the Meeting and their independence:

Name	Independent

Assessments

The Board through the careful selection of its members and from fostering a culture of openness has established an environment where its members are given ongoing feedback on their performance.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

National Instrument 52-110 - Audit Committees (“ NI 52-110 ”) requires the Corporation, as a venture issuer, to disclose annually in its information circular certain information concerning the constitution of its audit committee (the “ Audit Committee ”) and its relationship with its independent auditor, as set forth in the following:
