DATED at Calgary, Alberta this 28th day of August, 2023.

BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF MONGOLIA GROWTH GROUP LTD.

Harris Kupperman CEO and Chairman

MONGOLIA GROWTH GROUP LTD.

Information Circular – Proxy Statement – August 28, 2023

For the Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders of Mongolia Growth Group Ltd. to be held on October 10, 2023

All information contained herein is given as of August 28, 2023, unless otherwise indicated.

Solicitation of Proxies

This Information Circular is furnished by the management of Mongolia Growth Group Ltd. (the "Corporation") to the holders (the "Shareholders") of common shares ("Common Shares") of the Corporation in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the annual general and special meeting of the Shareholders (the "Meeting") to be held at LemonTree PR, Hwy 429, Km 4.1, Rincon, Puerto Rico, 00677 on October 10, 2023 at 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) and at any adjournment or postponement thereof for the purposes set forth in the notice of meeting enclosed within this Information Circular (the "Notice of Meeting"). Only Shareholders of the Corporation of record on August 28, 2023, are entitled to notice of, to attend, and to vote at the Meeting, unless a Shareholder has transferred any shares subsequent to that date and the transferee shareholder, not later than 10 days before the Meeting, establishes ownership of the shares and demands that the transferee's name be included on the list of Shareholders. The instrument appointing a proxy must be in writing and must be executed by you or your attorney authorized in writing or, if you are a corporation, under your corporate seal or by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the corporation.

The enclosed form of proxy (the "Proxy Form") is solicited by the management of the Corporation. The persons named in the enclosed Proxy Form are directors and/or officers of the Corporation (the "management designees"). As a Shareholder submitting a proxy, you have the right to appoint a person (who need not be a Shareholder) to represent you at the Meeting other than the person or persons designated in the Proxy Form furnished by the Corporation. To exercise this right, you should insert the name of the desired representative in the blank space provided in the Proxy Form and strike out the other names or submit another appropriate proxy. In order to be effective, the proxy must be deposited in accordance with the instructions provided in the Proxy Form at the office of the Corporation's transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. ("Computershare"), Proxy Department, 100 University Ave., 8th Floor, Toronto, ON M5J 2Y1, not later than 3:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the second last business day preceding the date of the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. No instrument appointing a proxy shall be valid after the expiration of twelve (12) months from the date of its execution.

Notice and Access

The Corporation has chosen to use the notice and access model for delivery of meeting materials to its shareholders for its Annual General and Special Meeting. Under notice and access, shareholders still receive a proxy or voting instruction form enabling them to vote at the meeting. However, instead of receiving a paper copy of the management information circular, notice of the meeting, annual financial statements and related management discussion and analysis for the meeting (the "meeting materials"), shareholders receive a notice (i) stating the date, time and location of the meeting, (ii) identifying the matters to be acted upon at the meeting, and (iii) explaining how to access such meeting materials on-line. This is more environmentally friendly as it reduces paper use and the cost to shareholders of printing and mailing the meeting materials.

Shareholders may request that a paper copy of the meeting materials be sent to them by postal delivery at no cost to them. Requests may be made up to one year from the date that this Management Information Circular was filed on SEDAR by:

Requests should be received at least ten (10) business days in advance of the proxy deposit date set out in the accompanying proxy or voting instruction form in order to receive the meeting materials in advance of such date and the meeting date. The Corporation has determined that only those shareholders with existing instructions on their account to receive paper material will receive a paper copy of the meeting materials with this notification. Shareholders with questions about notice and access can call the above referenced toll-free number.

The notice and access notification document for the Annual General and Special Meeting is being sent to both registered shareholders and beneficial shareholders. If a beneficial shareholder receives that notice and access notification document from the Corporation or its agent, that beneficial shareholder's name and address and information about his or her holdings of securities has been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding the beneficial shareholder's shares in the Corporation on the beneficial shareholder's behalf. By choosing to send the notice and access notification document to the beneficial shareholder directly, the Corporation (and not the intermediary holding on the beneficial shareholder's behalf) has assumed responsibility for (a) delivering the notice and access notification document to the beneficial shareholder, and (b) executing the beneficial shareholder's proper voting instructions. Beneficial shareholders are kindly asked to return their voting instructions as specified in the proxy form or voting instruction form accompanying the notice and access notification document.

Advice to Beneficial Holders

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 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 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.

These security holder materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered owners of the shares of the Corporation. If you are a non-registered owner and the Corporation or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding on your behalf. In this event, by choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Corporation (and not the intermediary holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials to you; and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the request for voting instructions.

All non-registered owners of the shares of the Corporation will, at the time of deposit of their shares with an intermediary, have either (a) consented to disclosure of ownership information about such beneficial holders to the Corporation (a "NOBO"), or (b) objected to disclosure of beneficial ownership information to the (an "OBO"). The Corporation will send proxy-related materials indirectly through intermediaries to NOBOs. The Corporation does not intend to pay for proximate intermediaries to forward the proxy related materials and voting information to OBO's in accordance with National Instrument 54-101.

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.

Revocability of Proxy

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

  • (a) executing a proxy bearing a later date or by executing a valid notice of revocation, either of the foregoing to be executed by the registered Shareholder or the registered Shareholder's authorized attorney in writing, or, if the registered Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal by an officer or attorney duly authorized, and by delivering the proxy bearing a later date to Computershare, at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the Meeting or the adjournment thereof at which the proxy is to be used, or to the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any reconvening thereof, or in any other manner provided by law, or
  • (b) personally attending the Meeting and voting the registered Shareholder's Common Shares. A revocation of a proxy will not affect a matter on which a vote is taken before the revocation.

Persons Making the Solicitation

This solicitation is made on behalf of management of the Corporation. The Corporation will bear the costs incurred in the preparation and mailing of the Proxy Form, Notice of Meeting and this Information Circular. In addition to mailing forms of proxy, proxies may be solicited by personal interviews, or by other means of communication, by directors, officers and employees of the Corporation who will not be remunerated therefor. The Corporation will not be providing the Notice of Meeting, Information Circular, or the Proxy Form to registered Shareholders or Beneficial Shareholders through the use of notice-and-access, as such term is defined in National Instrument 54-101 – Communications with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer.

Exercise of Discretion by Proxy

The persons named in the Proxy Form will vote or withhold from voting the Common Shares represented thereby in accordance with your instructions on any ballot that may be called for. If you specify a choice with respect to any

matter to be acted upon, your Common Shares will be voted accordingly. The Proxy Form confers discretionary authority on persons named therein with respect to:

  • (a) Each matter or group of matters identified therein for which a choice is not specified, other than the appointment of an auditor and the election of directors;
  • (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.

Registered Shareholders may wish to vote by proxy whether or not they are able to attend the Meeting in person. Registered Shareholders who choose to submit a proxy may do so by completing, dating and signing the enclosed Proxy Form and returning it to the Corporation's transfer agent, Computershare, by fax at 1-866-249-7775, online at www.investorvote.com, or by mail or by hand, in each case, in accordance with the instructions provided in the Instrument of Proxy, to Computershare, Proxy Department, 100 University Ave., 8th Floor, Toronto, ON M5J 2Y1.

The proxy must be received at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the Meeting or the adjournment thereof at which the proxy is to be used. Failure to complete or deposit a proxy properly may result in its invalidation. The time limit for the deposit of proxies may be waived at the discretion of the Chairman without notice.

Voting Shares and Principal Holders Thereof

The Corporation is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares, without nominal or par value. As of August 28, 2023, there were 27,065,199 Common Shares of the Corporation issued and outstanding. The Board of Directors has fixed August 28, 2023, as the record date (the "Record Date") for the determination of Shareholders entitled to 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 10 days before the Meeting, to be included in the list of Shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting. Each Shareholder is entitled to one (1) vote in person or by proxy for each Common Share held on all matters to come before the Meeting.

To the best of the knowledge of the Corporation's directors and officers no person, other than Harris Kupperman, the Corporation's Chairman and CEO, beneficially owns directly or indirectly, or exercises control or direction over, 10% or more of the votes attached to the Common Shares. Harris Kupperman beneficially owns 6,800,000 Common Shares or 25.1% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Corporation.

Quorum

Under the Corporation's by-laws, a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of shareholders shall be at least two persons present in person or represented by proxy holding or representing not less than 5% of the Common Shares entitled to be voted at the meeting. Under the Corporation's by-laws and the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) ("ABCA"), 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.

If a director nominee has more votes withheld than are voted in favour of him, such nominee will be expected to forthwith submit his resignation to the Board, effective on acceptance by the Board. The Board will review the resignation and will consider all factors deemed relevant, including, without limitation, the stated reason or reasons why Shareholders who cast "withhold" votes for the director did so, the qualifications of the director, including, without limitation, the impact the director's resignation would have on the Corporation, and whether the director's resignation from the Board would be in the best interest of the Corporation and the Shareholders. Within 90 days of receiving the final voting results, the Board will issue a press release announcing the resignation of the director or explaining the reasons justifying its decision not to accept the resignation.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION – Discussion and Analysis

Compensation Committee

The Board has formed the Corporation's compensation committee (the "Compensation Committee") responsible for reviewing the overall compensation strategy, objectives and policies; annually reviewing and assessing the performance of the executive officers; recommending to the Board the compensation of the executive officers; reviewing executive appointments; and recommending the adequacy and form of directors' compensation. All members of the Compensation Committee have the skills and experience to fulfill their responsibilities and to make decisions on the suitability of the Corporation's compensation policies and practices. They have developed skills and experience in making executive compensation decisions through serving on the boards of directors of public companies, serving on compensation committees of those boards of directors, advising on and drafting longterm incentive plans and working with compensation consultants and advisors in designing and implementing compensation programs for executive officers of public companies.

This Committee meets at least once annually. The members of the Compensation Committee are Nick Cousyn, Brad Farquhar and Robert Scott, all of whom are independent. Nick Cousyn chairs this committee. These Directors have the responsibility for determining compensation for the directors and senior management.

Named Executive Officer Compensation ("NEO")

Executive compensation is based upon the need to provide a compensation package that will allow the Corporation to attract and retain qualified and experienced executives, balanced with a pay-for performance philosophy. NEOs receive a mixture of fixed and variable pay and a blend of short- and long-term incentives as appropriate. The Board anticipates any additional executive compensation will likely be comprised of a base salary based on the executive officer's core competencies, skills, experience and contribution to the Corporation, an incentive-based cash bonus plan based on both individual and corporate performance and long-term ownership through granting of stock options.

Due to the growth profile of the Corporation, an NEO's base salary does not always reflect the level of commitment and effort that he or she is required to provide to ensure the continued success and growth of the Corporation. The award of short-term incentives and options ensures that the total compensation package awarded to NEOs matches the stage of development of the Corporation at a given point in time. The grant of options is designed to recognize and reward the efforts of NEOs as well as to provide additional incentive. These grants may be subject to the successful completion of performance hurdles. NEOs are prohibited from entering into transactions or arrangements which limit the economic risk of participating in unvested entitlements.

The Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing remuneration arrangements and recommending them to the Board. The Compensation Committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of remuneration of NEOs on a periodic basis, by reference to relevant employment market conditions, with the overall objective of ensuring maximum shareholder benefit from the retention of a high quality, high performing director and executive team. The charter adopted by the Compensation Committee aims to align rewards with achievement of strategic objectives.

Base Pay

NEOs are offered a competitive level of base pay at market rates (for companies of similar size and industry, based on a review, in particular, of comparable executive compensation of those other reporting issuers on whose boards the directors currently sit, as set forth under the heading "Corporate Governance", below) which is reviewed annually to ensure market competitiveness. This base pay comprises the fixed component of their pay and rewards. There is no guaranteed base pay increase included in any of the NEOs' contracts.

Short Term Incentives

The Board retains the discretion to pay short term incentives to NEOs based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee. Any payment of short-term incentives is dependent on the achievement of key performance milestones as determined by the Board. These milestones include key strategic, non-financial measures linked to drivers of performance in future reporting periods. Short term incentive payments may also be made at the discretion of the Board to reward an NEO's participation in ad-hoc projects or activities.

The Compensation Committee has the discretion to adjust short-term incentive payments based on an NEO's achievement of performance milestones. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Board has not exercised its discretion to pay short term incentives.

Share-Based Awards

RSA Plan

The Corporation currently has an RSA Plan in place with the intention to retain and attract employees, directors and consultants, to promote a proprietary interest by employees, directors and consultants in the Corporation and to focus management of the Corporation on the operating and financial performance of the Corporation and total longterm shareholder value. In determining the number of RSAs to be granted to employees, directors and consultants, the Board will take into account the number of RSAs, if any, previously granted to each employee, director or consultant to ensure such grants are in accordance with the TSX Venture Exchange policies and closely align the interests of the employees, directors and consultants with the interests of the shareholders. The aggregate number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to the RSA Plan shall not exceed 300,000 Common Shares. Shareholders may request a copy of the RSA plan by contacting the Company at [email protected] or 1-877-644-1186.

Risks

The Compensation Committee reviews compensation policies and practices of the Corporation taking into account any risks associated with these policies and practices. The Compensation Committee has not identified risks associated with the Corporation's compensation policies, which could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation.

Financial Instruments

The Corporation does not have a policy that would prohibit a NEO or a director from purchasing financial instruments, including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars or units of exchange Funds, that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in the market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the NEO or director. However, management is not aware of any NEO or director purchasing such an instrument.

From the date he joined the Corporation until December 2017, the current CEO of the Corporation, Harris Kupperman, had opted not to participate in any cash compensation plan for his role as an Officer of the Corporation.

Dated, this 28th day of August, 2023

Harris Kupperman CEO and Chairman On Behalf of the Board of Directors

SCHEDULE "A" MONGOLIA GROWTH GROUP LTD. (the "Corporation") MAJORITY VOTING POLICY

The board of directors of the Corporation (the "Board") believes that each director should have the confidence and support of the shareholders of the Corporation (the "Shareholders"). To this end, the Board has unanimously adopted this policy and future nominees for election to the Board will be required to confirm that they will abide by the policy.

Forms of proxy for the election of directors will permit a shareholder to vote in favour of, or to withhold from voting, separately for each director nominee. The Chair of the Board will ensure that the number of shares voted in favour or withheld from voting for each director nominee is recorded and promptly made public after the meeting. If the vote was by a show of hands, the Corporation will disclose the number of shares voted by proxy in favour or withheld for each director.

If a director nominee has more votes withheld than are voted in favour of him or her, the nominee will be considered by the Board not to have received the support of the Shareholders, even though duly elected as a matter of corporate law. Such a nominee will be expected to forthwith submit his or her resignation to the Board, effective on acceptance by the Board. The Board will review the resignation and consider all factors deemed relevant including, without limitation, the stated reason or reasons why Shareholders who cast "withhold" votes for the director did so, the qualifications of the director including the impact the director's resignation would have on the Corporation, and whether the director's resignation from the Board would be in the best interest of the Corporation and the Shareholders. Within 90 days of receiving the final voting results, the Board will issue a press release announcing the resignation of the director or explaining the reasons justifying its decision not to accept the resignation.

Subject to any corporate law restrictions, the Board may (1) leave a vacancy in the Board unfilled until the next annual general meeting, (2) fill the vacancy by appointing a new director whom the Board considers to merit the confidence of the Shareholders, or (3) call a special meeting of Shareholders to consider a new Board nominee(s) to fill the vacant position(s). This policy does not apply where an election involves a proxy battle, i.e., where proxy material is circulated in support of one or more nominees who are not part of the director nominees supported by the Board.
