AMENDED MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

(at at November 17, 2022, except as otherwise noted)

This Management Information Circular (“Circular”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Nevada Lithium Resources Inc. for use at the annual general meeting (the “Meeting”) of the Company’s shareholders (the “Shareholders”) to be held on December 22, 2022 at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice of Meeting.

In this Circular, references to “the Company ”, “we” and “our” refer to Nevada Lithium Resources Inc.Common Shares ” means common shares in the capital of the Company. “ Beneficial Shareholders ” means Shareholders who do not hold Common Shares in their own name and “ intermediaries ” refers to brokers, investment firms, clearing houses and similar entities that own securities on behalf of Beneficial Shareholders. “ Registered Shareholder ” means the person whose name appears on the central securities register maintained by or on behalf of the Company and who holds Common Shares in his or her own name.

GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

Solicitation of Proxies

The solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, but proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone by directors, officers and regular employees of the Company. The Company will bear all costs of this solicitation. We have arranged for intermediaries to forward the meeting materials to beneficial owners of the Common Shares held of record by those intermediaries and we may reimburse the intermediaries for their reasonable fees and disbursements in that regard.

Appointment of Proxyholders

The individuals named in the accompanying form of proxy (the “ Proxy ”) are officers and/or directors of the Company. If you are a Shareholder entitled to vote at the Meeting, you have the right to appoint a person or company other than either of the persons designated in the Proxy, who need not be a Shareholder, to attend and act for you and on your behalf at the Meeting. You may do so either by inserting the name of that other person in the blank space provided in the Proxy or by completing and delivering another suitable form of proxy.

Voting by Proxyholder

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

  • (a) each matter or group of matters identified therein for which a choice is not specified, 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, the persons named in the Proxy will vote the Common Shares represented by the Proxy for the approval of such matter.

Registered Shareholders

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

  • (a) complete, date and sign the Proxy and return it to the Company’s transfer agent, Olympia Trust Company (“ Olympia ”), by fax at 403-668-8307, or by mail or hand delivery to Suite 4000, 520 – 3[rd] Avenue SW, Calgary, AB T2P 0R3;

  • (b) use a touch-tone phone to transmit voting choices to a toll-free number. Registered Shareholders must follow the instructions of the voice response system and refer to the enclosed Proxy form for the toll-free number, the holder’s account number and the control number; or

  • (c) use the internet through the website of the Company’s transfer agent at https://css.olympiatrust.com. Registered Shareholders must follow the instructions that appear on the screen and refer to the enclosed Proxy form for the holder’s account number and the control number.

In either case you must ensure the Proxy is received at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays) before the Meeting or the adjournment thereof. Failure to complete or deposit the Proxy properly may result in its invalidation. The time limit for the deposit of proxies may be waived by the Company’s board of directors (the “ Board ”) at its discretion without notice. Please note that in order to vote your Common Shares in person at the Meeting, you must attend the Meeting and register with the scrutineer before the Meeting. If you have already submitted a Proxy, but choose to change your method of voting and attend the Meeting to vote, then you should register with the scrutineer before the Meeting and inform them that your previously submitted Proxy is revoked and that you personally will vote your Common Shares at the Meeting.

Beneficial Shareholders

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

If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those Common Shares will not be registered in the Shareholder’s name on the records of the Company. Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Shareholder’s broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such Common Shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). In the United States of America (the “ U.S. ” or the “ United States ”) the vast majority of such Common Shares are registered under the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for The Depository Trust Company (which acts as depository for many U.S. brokerage firms and custodian banks).

2

Intermediaries are required to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholders’ meetings. Every intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients.

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

These securityholder materials are sent to both registered and non-registered (beneficial) owners of the securities of the Company. If you are a non-registered owner, and the Company or its agent sent these materials directly to you, your name, address and information about your holdings of securities, were obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding securities on your behalf.

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

The form of proxy supplied to you by your broker will be similar to the Proxy provided to Registered Shareholders by the Company. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the intermediary on how to vote on your behalf. Most brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. (“ Broadridge ”) in Canada and in the United States. Broadridge mails a Voting Instruction Form (“ VIF ”) in lieu of a proxy provided by the Company. The VIF will name the same persons as the Company’s Proxy to represent you at the Meeting. You have the right to appoint a person (who need not be a Beneficial Shareholder of the Company), different from the persons designated in the VIF, to represent your Common Shares at the Meeting, and that person may be you. To exercise this right, insert the name of your desired representative (which may be you) in the blank space provided in the VIF. Once you have completed and signed your VIF return it to Broadridge by mail or facsimile, or deliver your voting instructions to Broadridge by phone or via the internet, in accordance with Broadridge’s instructions. Broadridge tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares to be represented at the Meeting. If you receive a VIF from Broadridge, it must be completed and returned to Broadridge, in accordance with Broadridge’s instructions, well in advance of the Meeting in order to: (a) have your Common Shares voted at the Meeting as per your instructions; or (b) have an alternate representative chosen by you duly appointed to attend and vote your Common Shares at the Meeting.

Notice to Shareholders in the United States

The solicitation of proxies involves securities of an issuer located in Canada and is being effected in accordance with the corporate laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada and securities laws of the provinces of Canada. The proxy solicitation rules under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 , as amended, are not applicable to the Company or this solicitation, and this solicitation has been prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of the securities laws of the provinces of Canada. Shareholders should be aware that disclosure requirements under the securities laws of the provinces of Canada differ from the disclosure requirements under United States securities laws.

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

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

  1. executing a Proxy bearing a later date or by executing a valid notice of revocation, either of the foregoing to be executed by the Registered Shareholder or the Registered Shareholder’s authorized attorney in writing, or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal by an officer or attorney duly authorized, and by delivering the Proxy bearing a later date to Olympia or to the Company at Suite 1570, 505 Burrard Street, Vancouver, B.C. V7X 1M5, at any time up to and including the last business day that precedes the day of the Meeting or, if the Meeting is adjourned, the last business day that precedes any reconvening thereof, or to the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any reconvening thereof, or in any other manner provided by law; or

Board of Directors

A “material relationship” is a relationship which could, in the opinion of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgment.

The Board facilitates its exercise of independent judgment in carrying out its responsibilities by carefully examining issues and consulting with outside counsel and other advisors in appropriate circumstances. The Board requires management to provide complete and accurate information with respect to the Company’s activities and to provide relevant information concerning the mineral exploration industry in order to identify and manage risks.

Board Mandate

The Board will facilitate independent supervision of management through meetings of the Board and through frequent informal discussions among independent members of the Board and management. In addition, the Board will have access to the Company’s external auditors, legal counsel and to any of the Company’s officers.

The Board will have a stewardship responsibility to supervise the management of and oversee the conduct of the business of the Company, provide leadership and direction to management, evaluate management, set policies appropriate for the business of the Company and approve corporate strategies and goals.

The day-to-day management of the business and affairs of the Company will be delegated by the Board to the senior officers of the Company. The Board will give direction and guidance through the CEO to management and will keep management informed of its evaluation of the senior officers in achieving and complying with goals and policies established by the Board.

The Board will recommend nominees to the shareholders for election as directors, and immediately following each annual general meeting will appoint an Audit Committee.

10

The Board will exercise its independent supervision over management by: (a) holding periodic meetings of the Board be to obtain an update on significant corporate activities and plans; and (b) ensuring all material transactions of the Company are subject to prior approval of the Board. To facilitate open and candid discussion among its independent directors, such directors will be encouraged to communicate with each other directly to discuss ongoing issues pertaining to the Company.

Stock Option Plan (Option-Based Awards)

The Company has in place a 10% “rolling” stock option plan dated for reference May 5, 2021 (the “ Option Plan ”). The Option Plan was established to provide incentive to qualified parties to increase their proprietary interest in the Company and thereby encourage their continuing association with the Company. A copy of the Option Plan was filed on SEDAR on May 13, 2021.

Material Terms of the Option Plan

Administration

The Option Plan shall be administered by the Board, a special committee of the Board (the “ Committee ”) or by an administrator appointed by the Board or the Committee (the “ Administrator ”) either of which will have full and final authority with respect to the granting of all Options thereunder. Options may be granted under the Option Plan to such directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Company, as the Board, the Committee or the Administrator may from time to time designate.

Number of Common Shares Reserved

Subject to adjustment as provided for in the Option Plan, the aggregate number of Common Shares which will be available for purchase pursuant to Options granted under to the Option Plan will not exceed 10% of the number of Common Shares which are issued and outstanding on the particular date of grant. If any Option expires or otherwise terminates for any reason without having been exercised in full, the number of Common Shares in respect of such expired or terminated Option shall again be available for the purposes of granting Options pursuant to the Option Plan.

Exercise Price

The exercise price at which an Option holder may purchase a Common Share upon the exercise of an Option shall be determined by the Committee and shall be set out in the Option certificate (an “ Option Certificate ”) issued in respect of the Option. The exercise price shall not be less than the price determined in accordance with CSE policies while, and if, the Company’s Common Shares are listed on the CSE.

Maximum Term of Options

The term of any Option granted under the Option Plan (the “ Term ”) shall be determined by the Board, the Committee or the Administrator, as applicable, at the time the Option is granted but, subject to earlier termination in the event of termination, or in the event of death or disability of the Option holder. In the event of death or disability, the Option shall expire on the earlier of the date which is one year following the date of disability or death and the applicable expiry date of the Option. Options granted under the Option Plan are not to be transferable or assignable other than by will or other testamentary instrument or pursuant to the laws of succession.

Termination

Subject to such other terms or conditions that may be attached to Options granted under the Option Plan, an Option holder may exercise an Option in whole or in part at any time and from time to time during the

14

Term. Any Option or part thereof not exercised within the Term shall terminate and become null, void and of no effect as of the date of expiry of the Option. The expiry date of an Option shall be the date so fixed by the Committee at the time the Option is granted as set out in the Option Certificate or, if no such date is set out in for the Option Certificate the applicable circumstances, the date established, if applicable, in paragraphs (a) or (b) below or in the event of death or disability (as discussed above under “Maximum Term of Options”) or in the event of certain triggering events occurring, as provided for under the Option Plan:

  • (a) Ceasing to Hold Office - In the event that the Option holder holds his or her Option as an executive and such Option holder ceases to hold such position other than by reason of death or disability, the expiry date of the Option shall be, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Board or the Administrator, as applicable and expressly provided for in the Option certificate, the 30th day following the date the Option holder ceases to hold such position unless the Option holder ceases to hold such position as a result of:

  • (i) ceasing to meet the qualifications set forth in the corporate legislation applicable to the Company;

  • (ii) a special resolution having been passed by the shareholders of the Company removing the Option holder as a director of the Company or any subsidiary; or

(iii) an order made by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction to so order;

in which case the expiry date shall be the date the Option holder ceases to hold such position; or

  • (b) Ceasing to be Employed or Engaged - In the event that the Option holder holds his or her Option as an employee or consultant and such Option holder ceases to hold such position other than by reason of death or disability, the expiry date of the Option shall be, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Board or the Administrator, as applicable, and expressly provided for in the Option certificate, the 30th day following the date the Option holder ceases to hold such position as a result of:

  • (i) termination for cause;

  • (ii) resigning or terminating his or her position; or

(iii) an order made by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction to so order;

in which case the expiry date shall be the date the Option holder ceases to hold such position.

In the event that the Option holder ceases to hold the position of executive, employee or consultant for which the Option was originally granted, but comes to hold a different position as an executive, employee or consultant prior to the expiry of the Option, the Committee, the Board or the Administrator, as applicable, may, in its sole discretion, choose to permit the Option to stay in place for that Option holder with such Option then to be treated as being held by that Option holder in his or her new position and such will not be considered to be an amendment to the Option in question requiring the consent of the Option holder. Notwithstanding anything else contained in the Option Plan, in no case will an Option be exercisable later than the expiry date of the Option.

The foregoing summary of the Option Plan is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Option Plan, which is available on the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.

Restricted Share Unit Plan (Share-Based Awards)

The Company has in place a restricted share unit plan, dated effective as of May 13, 2021 (the “ RSU Plan ”). A copy of the RSU Plan was filed on SEDAR on May 13, 2021.

Material Terms of the RSU Plan

Administration

The RSU Plan shall be administered by the Board, which will have the full and final authority to provide for the granting, vesting, settlement and the method of settlement of RSUs granted thereunder. RSUs may be granted to directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Company, as the Board may from time to time designate. The Board has the right to delegate the administration and operation of the RSU Plan to a committee and/or any member of the Board.

Number of Common Shares Reserved

Subject to adjustment as provided for in the RSU Plan, the aggregate number of Common Shares which will be available for issuance under the RSU Plan will not, when combined with Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to other share compensation arrangements (including the Option Plan) exceed 20% of the number of Common Shares which are issued and outstanding on the particular date of grant. If any RSU expires or otherwise terminates for any reason without having been exercised in full, the number of Common Shares in respect of such expired or terminated RSU shall again be available for the purposes of granting RSUs pursuant to the RSU Plan.

Granting, Settlement and Expiry of RSUs

Under the RSU Plan, eligible persons may (at the discretion of the Board) be allocated a number of RSUs as the Board deems appropriate, with vesting provisions also to be determined by the Board. Upon vesting, subject to the provisions of the RSU Plan, the RSU holder may settle its RSUs during the settlement period applicable to such RSUs, provided that no expiry date or any vesting date is a date that is later than December 1st (or December 31st, subject to certain extension provisions of the RSU Plan) of the third year following the end of the year in which the relevant services were rendered that gave rise to the RSU grant. Where, prior to the expiry date, an RSU holder fails to elect to settle an RSU, the holder shall be deemed to have elected to settle such RSUs on the day immediately preceding the expiry date. An RSU holder shall be entitled to receive one Common Share for each vested RSU or, at the sole option of the Company, a cash payment equal to the number of RSUs vested, multiplied by the market price of Common Shares on the redemption date.

Termination

Except as otherwise determined by the Board:

  • (a) all RSUs held by the RSU holder (whether vested or unvested) shall terminate automatically on the date which the RSU holder cases to be eligible to participate in the RSU Plan or otherwise on such date on which the Company terminates its engagement of the RSU holder (the “ RSU Holder Termination Date ”) for any reason other than as set forth in paragraph (b) and (c) below;

  • (b) in the case of a termination of the RSU holder’s service by reason of (A) termination by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company other than for cause, or (B) the RSU holder’s death or disability, the RSU holder’s unvested RSUs shall vest automatically as of such date, and on the earlier of the original expiry date and any time during the ninety (90) day period commencing on the date of such termination of service (or, if earlier, the RSU Holder Termination Date), the RSU holder (or their

16

executor or administrator, or the person or persons to whom the RSUs are transferred by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution) will be eligible to request that the Company settle their vested RSUs. Where, prior to the 90th day following such termination of service (or, if earlier, the RSU Holder Termination Date) the RSU holder fails to elect to settle a vested RSU, the RSU holder shall be deemed to have elected to settle such RSU on such 90th day (or, if earlier, the RSU Holder Termination Date) and to receive Common Shares in respect thereof;

  • (c) in the case of a termination of the RSU holder’s services by reason of (A) voluntary resignation, or (B) death or disability, only the RSU holder’s unvested RSUs shall terminate automatically as of such date, and any time during the ninety (90) day period commencing on the date of such termination of service (or, if earlier, the RSU Holder Termination Date), the RSU holder will be eligible to request that the Company settle their vested RSUs. Where, prior to the 90th day following such termination of service (or, if earlier, the RSU Holder Termination Date) the RSU holder fails to elect to settle a vested RSU, the RSU holder shall be deemed to have elected to settle such RSU on such 90th day (or, if earlier, the RSU Holder Termination Date) and to receive Common Shares in respect thereof;

  • (d) for greater certainty, where a RSU holder’s employment, term of office or other engagement with the Company terminates by reason of termination by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company for cause then any RSUs held by the RSU holder (whether unvested or vested) at the RSU Holder Termination Date, immediately terminate and are cancelled on the RSU Holder Termination Date or at a time as may be determined by the Board, in its discretion;

  • (e) a RSU holder’s eligibility to receive further grants of RSUs under the RSU Plan ceases as of the earliest of the date the RSU holder resigns from or terminates its engagement with the Company or any subsidiary of the Company and the date that the Company or any subsidiary of the Company provides the RSU holder with written notification that the RSU holder’s employment, term of office or engagement, as the case may be, is terminated, notwithstanding that such date may be prior to the RSU Holder Termination Date; and

  • (f) for the purposes of the RSU Plan, a RSU holder shall not be deemed to have terminated service or engagement where the RSU holder: (i) remains in employment or office within or among the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or (ii) is on a leave of absence approved by the Board.

Oversight and description of director and NEO compensation

The Company does not have a compensation committee or a formal compensation policy. The Company relies solely on the directors to determine the compensation of the Named Executive Officers. In determining compensation, the directors consider industry standards and the Company’s financial situation, but the Company does not have any formal objectives or criteria. The performance of each executive officer is informally monitored by the directors, having in mind the business strengths of the individual and the purpose of originally appointing the individual as an officer.

In establishing compensation for executive officers, the Board as a whole seeks to accomplish the following goals:

  • To recruit and subsequently retain highly qualified executive officers by competitive offering overall

  • compensation;

  • To motivate executives to achieve important corporate and personal performance objectives and reward them

  • when such objectives are met; and

  • To align the interests of executive officers with the long-term interests of shareholders through participation in the Option Plan.

When considering the appropriate executive compensation to be paid to our officers, the Board have regard to a number of factors including: (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 Company’s shareholders; (iv) rewarding performance, both on an individual basis and with respect to operations generally; and (v) available financial resources.

The Board did not use any formal peer group evaluation to determine executive compensation.

Pension Disclosure

The Company does not have a pension plan that provides for payments or benefits to the NEOs at, following, or in connection with retirement.
