NORDIQUE RESOURCES INC.

Suite 1600 – 409 Granville Street,
Vancouver, BC, V6C 1T2

INFORMATION CIRCULAR

(as at March 6, 2025, except as otherwise indicated)

This Information Circular (the “Circular”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Nordique Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Nordique”) for use at the special meeting (the “Meeting”) of the Company (and any adjournment thereof) to be held on April 10, 2025 at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS INFORMATION CIRCULAR

The date of this Circular is March 6, 2025. Except to the extent otherwise stated herein, all information set forth herein is given as at the Record Date (as defined hereafter). Unless otherwise stated, all amounts herein are in Canadian dollars.

No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representation in connection with any matters described herein other than those contained in this Circular and, if given or made, any such information or representation should be considered not to have been authorized by the Company.

This Circular does not constitute the solicitation of an offer to purchase any securities or the solicitation of a proxy by any person in any jurisdiction in which such solicitation is not authorized or in which the person making such solicitation is not qualified to do so or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such solicitation.

Information contained in this Circular should not be construed as legal, tax or financial advice and Shareholders are urged to consult their own professional advisers in connection therewith.

PROXIES AND VOTING RIGHTS

Management Solicitation

The solicitation of proxies by management of the Company will be conducted by mail and may be supplemented by telephone or other personal contact to be made without special compensation by the directors, officers, and employees of the Company. Nordique does not reimburse Shareholders, nominees or agents for costs incurred in obtaining from their principals authorization to execute forms of proxy, except that the Company has requested brokers and nominees who hold stock in their respective names to furnish the proxy-related materials to their customers, and the Company will reimburse such brokers and nominees for their related out of pocket expenses. No solicitation will be made by specifically engaged employees or soliciting agents. The cost of solicitation will be borne by Nordique. No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representation other than as contained in this Circular in connection with the solicitation of proxies.

If given or made, such information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the Company. The delivery of this Circular shall not create, under any circumstances, any implication that there has been no change in the information set forth herein since the date of this Circular. This Circular does not constitute the solicitation of a proxy by anyone in any jurisdiction in which such solicitation is not authorized, or in which the person making such solicitation is not qualified to do so, or to anyone to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer of solicitation.

The Company has arranged for intermediaries to forward the Meeting materials to beneficial owners of Shares (the “Beneficial Shareholders”) held of record by those intermediaries. The Company has distributed or made available for distribution, copies of the Notice, this Circular and form of proxy to clearing agencies, securities dealers, banks and trust companies or their nominees (collectively, the “Intermediaries”) for distribution to Beneficial Shareholders held of record by those Intermediaries. Such Intermediaries are required to forward such documents to the Beneficial Shareholders unless a Beneficial Shareholder has waived the right to receive them. The solicitation of proxies from


Beneficial Shareholders will be conducted by the Intermediaries or by Nordique if the names and addresses of the Beneficial Shareholders are provided by Intermediaries. Nordique will pay the permitted fees and costs of the Intermediaries for reasonable fees and disbursements incurred in connection with the distribution of these materials.

Nordique does not intend to pay for Intermediaries to forward to objecting Beneficial Shareholders under NI 54-101 the proxy-related materials and Form 54-101F7 Request for Voting Instructions Made by Intermediary. An objecting Beneficial Shareholder will not receive such materials unless the objecting Beneficial Shareholder’s Intermediary assumes the cost of delivery.

These proxy-related materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered Shareholders. If you are a non-registered Shareholder, and the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your Shares, have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary holding on your behalf.

Appointment of Proxy

Registered Shareholders are entitled to vote at the Meeting. On a show of hands, every Shareholder is entitled to one vote for each common share (a “Share”) that such Shareholder holds on the record date of March 6, 2025, on the resolutions to be voted upon at the Meeting, and any other matter to come before the Meeting. The list of Registered Shareholders is available for inspection during normal business hours at the offices of Endeavor Trust Corporation (“Endeavor”) and will be available at the Meeting.

The persons named as proxyholders (the “Designated Persons”) in the enclosed form of proxy are directors and/or officers of Nordique.

A SHAREHOLDER HAS THE RIGHT TO APPOINT A PERSON OR COMPANY (WHO NEED NOT BE A SHAREHOLDER) TO ATTEND AND ACT FOR OR ON BEHALF OF THAT SHAREHOLDER AT THE MEETING, OTHER THAN THE DESIGNATED PERSONS NAMED IN THE ENCLOSED FORM OF PROXY.

TO EXERCISE THE RIGHT, THE SHAREHOLDER MAY DO SO BY STRIKING OUT THE PRINTED NAMES AND INSERTING THE NAME OF SUCH OTHER PERSON AND, IF DESIRED, AN ALTERNATE TO SUCH PERSON, IN THE BLANK SPACE PROVIDED IN THE FORM OF PROXY. SUCH SHAREHOLDER SHOULD NOTIFY THE NOMINEE OF THE APPOINTMENT, OBTAIN THE NOMINEE’S CONSENT TO ACT AS PROXY AND SHOULD PROVIDE INSTRUCTION TO THE NOMINEE ON HOW THE SHAREHOLDER’S SHARES SHOULD BE VOTED. THE NOMINEE SHOULD BRING PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION TO THE MEETING.

In order to be voted, the completed form of proxy must be received by the Company’s registrar and transfer agent, Endeavor at their offices located at 702 – 777 Hornby Street, Vancouver, BC V6Z 1S4, by mail, or by fax at 604-559-8908, or by email at [email protected] no later than 10:30 a.m. on April 8, 2025 or at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays recognized in the Province of British Columbia) before the time and date of any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting.

A proxy may not be valid unless it is dated and signed by the Shareholder who is giving it or by that Shareholder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized by that Shareholder in writing or, in the case of a corporation, dated and executed by a duly authorized officer or attorney-in-fact for the corporation. If a form of proxy is executed by an attorney-in-fact for an individual Shareholder or joint Shareholders or by an officer or attorney-in-fact for a corporate Shareholder, the instrument so empowering the officer or attorney-in-fact, as the case may be, or a notarially certified copy thereof, must accompany the form of proxy.

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy will vote the Shares in respect of which they are appointed in accordance with the direction of the Shareholders appointing them. In the absence of such direction, such Shares will be voted in the discretion of the person named in the proxy. The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting

LEGAL_44241723.5


and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the time of printing of this Circular, management knows of no such amendments, variations, or other matters to come before the Meeting. However, if any other matters which are not now known to management should properly come before the Meeting, the proxy will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the named proxies.

Revocation of Proxy

A Shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by an instrument in writing: (a) executed by that Shareholder or by that Shareholder’s attorney-in-fact authorized in writing or, where the Shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer of, or attorney-in-fact for, the corporation; and (b) delivered either: (i) to the Company at the address set forth above, at any time up to and including the last Business Day preceding the day of the Meeting or, if adjourned or postponed, any reconvening thereof, or (ii) to the Chairman of the Meeting prior to the vote on matters covered by the proxy on the day of the Meeting or, if adjourned or postponed, any reconvening thereof, or (iii) in any other manner provided by law.

Also, a proxy will automatically be revoked by either: (a) attendance at the Meeting and participation in a poll (ballot) by a Shareholder, or (b) submission of a subsequent proxy in accordance with the foregoing procedures. A revocation of a proxy does not affect any matter on which a vote has been taken prior to any such revocation.

Voting of Common Shares and Proxies and Exercise of Discretion by Designated Persons

A Shareholder may indicate the manner in which the Designated Persons are to vote with respect to a matter to be voted upon at the Meeting by marking the appropriate space. If the instructions as to voting indicated in the proxy are certain, the Shares represented by the proxy will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions given in the proxy. If the Shareholder specifies a choice in the proxy with respect to a matter to be acted upon, then the Shares represented will be voted or withheld from the vote on that matter accordingly. The Shares represented by a proxy will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholder on any ballot that may be called for and if the Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Shares will be voted accordingly.

IF NO CHOICE IS SPECIFIED IN THE PROXY WITH RESPECT TO A MATTER TO BE ACTED UPON, THE PROXY CONFERS DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY WITH RESPECT TO THAT MATTER UPON THE DESIGNATED PERSONS NAMED IN THE FORM OF PROXY. IT IS INTENDED THAT THE DESIGNATED PERSONS WILL VOTE THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THE PROXY IN FAVOUR OF EACH MATTER IDENTIFIED IN THE PROXY.

The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the Designated Persons with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting, including any amendments or variations to any matters identified in the Notice, and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the date of this Circular, management of Nordique is not aware of any such amendments, variations, or other matters to come before the Meeting.

In the case of abstentions from, or withholding of, the voting of the Shares on any matter, the Shares that are the subject of the abstention or withholding will be counted for determination of a quorum but will not be counted as affirmative or negative on the matter to be voted upon.

ADVICE TO BENEFICIAL SHAREHOLDERS

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

If Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by a broker, then in all cases those Shares will not be registered in the Shareholder’s name on the records of the Company. Such Shares will more likely be registered

LEGAL_44241723.5


under the names of the Shareholder’s broker or an agent of that broker. In the United States, the vast majority of such Shares are registered under the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for The Depository Trust Company (which acts as depositary for many U.S. brokerage firms and custodian banks), and in Canada, 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). Beneficial Shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their Shares are communicated to the appropriate person well in advance of the Meeting.

The Company does not have access to names of Beneficial Shareholders. Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of Shareholders’ meetings. 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 Shares are voted at the Meeting. The form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker (or the agent of the broker) is similar to the Form of Proxy provided to Registered Shareholders by Nordique. 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”) in the United States and in Canada. Broadridge typically prepares a special voting instruction form, mails this form to the Beneficial Shareholders, and asks for appropriate instructions regarding the voting of Shares to be voted at the Meeting. Beneficial Shareholders are requested to complete and return the voting instructions to Broadridge by mail or facsimile. Alternatively, Beneficial Shareholders can call a toll-free number and access Broadridge’s dedicated voting website (each as noted on the voting instruction form) to deliver their voting instructions and to vote the Shares held by them. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder receiving a Broadridge voting instruction form cannot use that form as a proxy to vote Shares directly at the Meeting – the voting instruction form must be returned to Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have its Shares voted at the Meeting.

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

Alternatively, a Beneficial Shareholder may request in writing that his, her or its broker send to the Beneficial Shareholder a legal proxy which would enable the Beneficial Shareholder to attend the Meeting and vote his, her or its Shares.

Notice to Shareholders in the United States

The solicitation of proxies is not subject to the requirements of Section 14(a) of the U.S. Exchange Act by virtue of an exemption applicable to proxy solicitations by foreign private issuers as defined in Rule 3b-4 of the U.S. Exchange Act. Accordingly, this Circular has been prepared in accordance with applicable Canadian disclosure requirements. Residents of the United States should be aware that such requirements differ from those of the United States applicable to proxy statements under the U.S. Exchange Act.

This document does not address any income tax consequences of the disposition of Shares by shareholders. Shareholders in a jurisdiction outside of Canada should be aware that the disposition of Shares by them may have tax consequences both in those jurisdictions and in Canada, and are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances and the tax considerations applicable to them.

Any information concerning any properties and operations of the Company has been prepared in accordance with Canadian standards under applicable Canadian securities laws, and may not be comparable to similar information for United States companies.

If financial statements are included or incorporated by reference herein, they have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and are

LEGAL_44241723.5


subject to auditing and auditor independence standards in Canada. Such consequences for the Company Shareholders who are resident in, or citizens of, the United States may not be described fully in this Circular.

The enforcement by the Company Shareholders of civil liabilities under the United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Company is incorporated or organized under the laws of a foreign country, that some or all of their officers and directors and the experts named herein are residents of a foreign country and that the major assets of the Company are located outside the United States.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS OR COMPANIES IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Except as otherwise set out herein, to the best of management’s knowledge, none of the directors (“Directors”) or executive officers (“Officers”) of the Company, or any person who has held such a position since the beginning of the Company’s last financial year, nor any proposed nominee for election as a Director of the Company, nor any associate or affiliate of the foregoing persons, has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting.

Notice and Access

The Company is not relying on the notice-and-access delivery procedures outlined in National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer to distribute copies of this Circular, proxy or voter information form.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares without par value. As of the record date, determined by the Board to be the close of business on March 6, 2025 (the “Record Date”), a total of 17,308,624 Shares were issued and outstanding. Each Share carries the right to one vote at the Meeting. The quorum required for the Meeting is two (2) Shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, Shareholders who, in aggregate, hold at least 5% of the issued Shares entitled to be voted at the meeting.

To the best of the directors’ and officers’ knowledge, no person beneficially owns or exercises control or direction, directly or indirectly, over voting securities carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to the voting securities of the Company.

Only Shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote in person or by proxy at the Meeting or at any adjournment or postponement thereof (subject to, in the case of voting by proxy to the timely deposit of a properly completed, signed, and dated proxy with Endeavor Trust Corporation as specified herein and in the Notice of Meeting). In the absence of instructions to the contrary, the proxyholders intend to vote the Common Shares represented by each proxy, properly executed, in favour of the motions proposed to be made at the Meeting as stated under the headings in this Circular.

INDEBTEDNESS OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

No person who is, or at any time during the two most recently completed financial years was, a director or executive officer of the Company, a proposed nominee for election as a director of the Company, or an associate of any of the foregoing individuals, has been indebted to the Company at any time since the commencement of the Company’s last completed financial year.

INTEREST OF INFORMED PERSONS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

No: (a) director or executive officer of the Company; (b) person or company who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, Shares or who exercises control or direction of Shares, or a combination of both carrying more than ten percent of the voting rights attached to the outstanding Shares (an “Insider”); (c) director or executive officer of an Insider; or (d) associate or affiliate of any of the directors, executive officers or Insiders, has had any material interest,

LEGAL_44241723.5


direct or indirect, in any transaction since the commencement of the Company's most recently completed financial year or in any proposed transaction which has materially affected or would materially affect the Company, except with an interest arising from the ownership of Shares where such person or company will receive no extra or special benefit or advantage not shared on a pro rata basis by all Shareholders.

PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

To the knowledge of the Board, the only matters to be brought before the Meeting are those matters set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

A. ADOPTION OF NEW ARTICLES

The Board and management of the Company wish to adopt new Articles ("New Articles") to replace the existing articles of the Company (the "Existing Articles") in order to reflect current best practices for reporting issuers. The New Articles reflect the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) that modernize British Columbia corporate legislation and provide greater flexibility to the Board in carrying out the business of the Company. Shareholders are being asked at the Meeting to ratify and confirm the adoption of the New Articles of the Company by way of special resolution.

Certain key provisions of the proposed New Articles, and a description of how they differ from the Company's Existing Articles, are set out below. Shareholders should also refer to the full text of the proposed New Articles, which are included as Schedule "A" to this Circular. The Company's Existing Articles can be accessed on the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

Uncertificated Securities

The New Articles provide that confirmation be sent to each holder of an uncertificated share by written notice to the Shareholder pursuant to the current provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The New Articles modernize the Company's corporate charter to permit the use of uncertified Shares and electronic trading and to ensure the Company's corporate charter facilitates the use of uncertificated Shares and electronic record keeping systems.

The material changes which are reflected in the New Articles under this Article provision include the following:

  1. If the Shares of which a Shareholder is the registered owner are not uncertificated Shares, such Shareholders will be entitled to (a) one Share certificate representing the Shares of each class or series of Shares registered in the Shareholder's name, or (b) a non-transferable written acknowledgement of the Shareholder's right to obtain such a Share certificate. Shareholders holding uncertificated Shares will receive written notice of any issue or transfer of those Shares.
  2. The Existing Articles provided for a share transfer to be effective the Company must receive a "duly signed instrument of transfer". In electronic delivery, in certain circumstances where transfers are effected by brokers on behalf of their clients, a signed instrument of transfer is not provided to the Company. The amendments reflected in the New Articles permit the transfer of Shares to occur upon receipt by the Company or its transfer agent of a duly signed or a written instrument of transfer.
  3. The Existing Articles provide that the instrument of transfer must be in the form approved by the directors. The New Articles make the acceptance of the form of instrument of transfer by providing that the instrument of transfer be in a form either approved by the directors from time to time or by the transfer agent or registrar for those shares.

Advance Notice Provisions

The directors of the Company are proposing that the New Articles of the Company include an advance notice provision (the "Advance Notice Provision"), which will:

(i) facilitate orderly and efficient annual general or, where the need arises, special, meetings;
(ii) ensure that all Shareholders receive adequate notice of the director nominations and sufficient information with respect to all nominees; and
(iii) allow Shareholders to register an informed vote.

LEGAL_44241723.5


The purpose of the Advance Notice Provision is to foster a variety of interests of the Shareholders and the Company by ensuring that all Shareholders - including those participating in a meeting by proxy rather than in person - receive adequate notice of the nominations to be considered at a meeting and can thereby exercise their voting rights in an informed manner. The Advance Notice Provision is the framework by which the Company seeks to fix a deadline by which holders of record of Shares must submit director nominations to the Company prior to any annual or special meeting of Shareholders and sets forth the information that a Shareholder must include in the notice to the Company for the notice to be in proper written form.

Elimination of Fractional Shares

The New Articles permit the Company to acquire for fair value any outstanding fractions of Shares by delivering notice and funds to the holder of such fractional Share. A Shareholder whose fractional Share is so purchased will have the right to apply to the court to determine the fair value of such Shares. The Existing Articles do not permit the acquisition of fractional Shares by the Company.

Alterations

Under the New Articles, the Company may by ordinary resolution of Shareholders (or a resolution of the directors in the case of a name change of the Company, or the subdivision or consolidation of all or any of its unissued, or fully paid issued, Shares, and as to the alteration of the identifying name of any of its Shares), alter its Notice of Articles and the New Articles accordingly. Under the Existing Articles, all such amendments required a special resolution of Shareholders.

Special Rights and Restrictions

The New Articles provide that the Company may, by ordinary resolution of Shareholders, (i) create special rights or restrictions for, and attach those special rights or restrictions to, the Company's shares of any class or series of shares, whether or not any or all of those shares have been issued, or (ii) vary or delete any special rights or restrictions attached to the shares of any class or series of shares, whether or not any or all of those shares have been issued, and (iii) alter its Notices of Articles and Articles accordingly. Under the Existing Articles, all such amendments required a special resolution of Shareholders.

Other Alterations

If the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) does not specify the type of resolution and the New Articles do not specify another type of resolution, the Company may by ordinary resolution of Shareholders alter the New Articles.

Selection of Alternate Chair

The New Articles are updated to add that the solicitor of the Company to be chair of a Shareholder meeting.

Deposit of Proxy

Under the New Articles, a proxy may be sent to the Company by written instrument, fax or any other method of transmitting legibly recorded messages, including through Internet or telephone voting or by mail, if permitted by the notice calling the meeting or the information circular for the meeting.

Authority to Advance Expenses

Under the New Articles the Company may advance expenses to an eligible party to the extent permitted by and in accordance with the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).

Resolution Approving the New Articles

At the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, the Company's Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought advisable, to pass, with or without amendment, a special resolution to adopt the New Articles (the "New Articles Resolution") in the following form:

LEGAL_44241723.5


“RESOLVED as a special resolution, to ratify and approve the adoption of New Articles of the Company as follows:

  1. the Current Articles of the Company be cancelled in their entirety and the form of Articles attached as Schedule “A” to the Company’s Information Circular dated as of March 6, 2025 be adopted as the New Articles of the Company;
  2. it is a condition of this resolution that the New Articles of the Company referred to above do not take effect until the date and time that this resolution is received and stamped for deposit at the Company’s records office;
  3. any director or officer of the Company be authorized to execute and deliver under the seal of the Company or otherwise, all such documents and to do all such other acts or things as such director or officer may determine to be necessary or advisable in connection with such transition, the execution of any such document or the doing of any such other act or thing by any director or officer of the Company being conclusive evidence of such determination; and
  4. notwithstanding the approval of this special resolution by shareholders of the Company, the Board may, prior to the effective time of such matter, elect not to proceed with the matter set out in the foregoing resolutions. Pursuant to section 139 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), the directors have the right to revoke the above special resolutions before they are acted on.”

The form of the proposed resolution set forth above is subject to such amendments as management may propose at the Meeting but which do not materially affect the substance of the proposed resolution.

The above special resolution, if passed, will become effective immediately upon the New Articles together with the signed minutes approving the New Articles have been received for deposit at the Company’s records office.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote for the New Articles Resolution. Unless otherwise directed, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying instrument of proxy to vote FOR the New Articles Resolution. To be effective, the New Articles Resolution must be approved by not less than 66⅔ of the votes cast by the holders of Shares who vote in person or by proxy at the Meeting on the New Articles Resolution.

The proposed new form of Articles are available for inspection during regular business hours for the period before the Meeting at the Company’s registered and records office at Suite 1500 – 1055 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6E 4N7. The New Form Articles will be available at the Meeting.

Upon receipt of approval to the New Articles, a complete set may be accessed on SEDAR located at www.sedarplus.ca.

B. APPROVAL OF STOCK SPLIT

Shareholders are being asked to consider, and if deemed appropriate, to approve the special resolution authorizing a stock split of the Company’s issued share capital on the basis of two (2) post-split Shares for each issued and outstanding pre-split Share (the “Stock Split”), subject to approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange and any other regulatory approvals, at the discretion of the Board. As at the date of this Circular, a total of 17,308,624 Shares without par value, in the capital of the Company were issued and outstanding. There is currently no maximum number of authorized Shares and on effecting the Stock Split there will continue to be no maximum number of authorized Shares.

No further action on the part of Shareholders will be required in order for the Board to implement the Stock Split if approved at the Meeting. The Board currently intends to implement the Stock Split shortly after the Meeting. However, the special resolution of Shares also authorizes the Board to elect not to proceed with and abandon the Stock Split at any time if it determines, in its sole discretion, to do so.

LEGAL_44241723.5


LEGAL_44241723.5

Background and Reasons for the Stock Split

The Board is seeking authority to implement the Stock Split because it believes that the Stock Split could potentially broaden the pool of investors that may consider investing or be able to invest in the Company by decreasing the trading price of the Shares and potentially improving liquidity.

Certain Risks Associated with the Stock Split

The Company's total market capitalization immediately after the Stock Split may be lower than immediately before the Stock Split.

There are numerous factors and contingencies that could affect the Company's Share price following the Stock Split, including the status of the market for the Shares at the time, the Company's progress on strategic objectives, and general economic, stock market and industry conditions.

A decline in the market price of the Shares after the Stock Split may result in a greater percentage decline than would occur in the absence of a split, and the liquidity of the Shares could be adversely affected following the Stock Split.

If the Stock Split is implemented and the market price of the Shares declines, the percentage decline may be greater than would occur in the absence of a split. The market price of the Shares will, however, also be based on the Company's performance and other factors, which are unrelated to the number of Shares outstanding. Furthermore, the liquidity of the Shares could be adversely affected by the increased number of Shares that would be outstanding following a split.

Other Information Regarding the Stock Split

Principal Effects of the Stock Split

If approved and implemented, the Stock Split will occur simultaneously for all the Shares and the split ratio would be the same for all such Shares. The split would affect all Shareholders equally. The change in the number of issued and outstanding Shares that would result from the Stock Split would cause no change in the capital attributable to the Shares and would not materially affect any Shareholders' percentage ownership in the Company, even though such ownership would be represented by a larger number of Shares.

In addition, the Stock Split would not affect any Shareholder's proportionate voting rights. Each Share outstanding after the Stock Split would be entitled to one vote and be fully paid and non-assessable.

The principal effects of the Stock Split would be as follows:

  • Increase in number of Shares outstanding — the number of Shares issued and outstanding would be increased from approximately 17,308,624 Shares as of the date hereof to between approximately 34,617,248 Shares assuming the maximum Stock Split ratio; and
  • Adjustment to Convertible Securities — the exercise price and/or the number of Shares issuable under any of the Company's outstanding convertible securities, convertible debentures, warrants, options and any other similar securities will be proportionately adjusted based on the split ratio.

Effect on Non-Registered Shareholders

Non-registered Shareholders holding their Shares through a bank, broker or other nominee should note that such banks, brokers or other nominees may have different procedures for processing the Stock Split than those that will be put in place by the Company for registered Shareholders. If you hold your Shares with a bank, broker or other nominee and if you have any questions in this regard, you are encouraged to contact your nominee.

Effect on Share Certificates

If the Stock Split is approved by Shareholders and implemented, the Stock Split will be made under the "push-out" method, registered Shareholders will keep their existing Share certificates, and registered Shareholders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date will be provided with additional Share certificates by the Company's transfer agent.

Procedure for Implementing the Stock Split

Upon approval by the Shareholders of the special resolution authorizing the Stock Split, all Shares currently held by Shareholders will be split without any further action required by Shareholders. The Stock Split will be the same for


all such Shares and will affect all Shareholders uniformly and will not affect any Shareholder's percentage ownership interest.

The Board (along with Management of the Company) does not anticipate that the Company's name will be changed at the time of the Stock Split. If Shareholder and CSE approval to the Stock Split is obtained, the Stock Split will take place following the Meeting at such time as the Board may determine. The Board may, in its discretion, determine whether or not to proceed without further approval, ratification or confirmation by the Shareholders.

Upon completion of the Stock Split, the number of Shares outstanding will be adjusted on the Company's central securities register maintained by the Company's transfer agent, and Registered Shareholders will receive a Share certificate or registration statement prepared by the Company's transfer agent pursuant to its direct registration system (a "DRS Advice Statement") evidencing the post-split Shares to which such Shareholder is entitled. Beneficial Shareholders holding their Shares through an intermediary should note that such banks, brokers or other nominees may have various procedures for processing the Stock Split. Beneficial Shareholders will not receive a Share certificate or DRS Advice Statement from the Company's transfer agent upon completion of the Stock Split. Beneficial Shareholders should contact their nominees for additional information with respect to the Stock Split.

Notwithstanding the Stock Split receiving Shareholder approval, the Company may determine not to proceed with the Stock Split at the discretion of the Board.

No Dissent Rights

Under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act (the "BCBCA"), Shareholders do not have dissent and appraisal rights with respect to the proposed Stock Split.

Resolution Approving Stock Split

PART 10

MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS

Annual General Meetings

10.1 Unless an annual general meeting is deferred or waived in accordance with the Act, the Company must hold its first annual general meeting within 18 months after the date on which it was incorporated or otherwise recognized, and after that must hold an annual general meeting at least once in each calendar year and not more than 15 months after the last annual reference date at such time and place as may be determined by the directors.

Resolution Instead of Annual General Meeting

10.2 If all the shareholders who are entitled to vote at an annual general meeting consent in writing by a unanimous resolution to all of the business that is required to be transacted at that annual general meeting, the annual general meeting is deemed to have been held on the date of the unanimous resolution. The shareholders must, in any unanimous resolution passed under this §10.2, select as the Company’s annual reference date a date that would be appropriate for the holding of the applicable annual general meeting.

Calling of Meetings of Shareholders

10.3 The directors may, at any time, call a meeting of shareholders.

Notice for Meetings of Shareholders

10.4 The Company must send notice of the date, time and location of any meeting of shareholders (including, without limitation, any notice specifying the intention to propose a resolution as an exceptional resolution, a special resolution or a special separate resolution, and any notice to consider approving an amalgamation into a foreign jurisdiction, an arrangement or the adoption of an amalgamation agreement, and any notice of a general meeting, class meeting or series meeting), in the manner provided in these Articles, or in such other manner, if any, as may be prescribed by ordinary resolution (whether previous notice of the resolution has been given or not), to each shareholder entitled to attend the meeting, to each director and to the auditor of the Company, unless these Articles otherwise provide, at least the following number of days before the meeting:

(a) if the Company is a public company, 21 days;

(b) otherwise, 10 days.


  • 11 -

Record Date for Notice

10.5 The directors may set a date as the record date for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of any meeting of shareholders. The record date must not precede the date on which the meeting is to be held by more than two months or, in the case of a general meeting requisitioned by shareholders under the Act, by more than four months. The record date must not precede the date on which the meeting is held by fewer than:

(a) if the Company is a public company, 21 days;

(b) otherwise, 10 days.

If no record date is set, the record date is 5 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the first date on which the notice is sent or, if no notice is sent, the beginning of the meeting.

Record Date for Voting

10.6 The directors may set a date as the record date for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders. The record date must not precede the date on which the meeting is to be held by more than two months or, in the case of a general meeting requisitioned by shareholders under the Act, by more than four months. If no record date is set, the record date is 5 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the first date on which the notice is sent or, if no notice is sent, the beginning of the meeting.

Failure to Give Notice and Waiver of Notice

Any person entitled to notice of a meeting of shareholders may, in writing or otherwise, waive that entitlement or may agree to reduce the period of that notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting of shareholders is a waiver of entitlement to notice of the meeting unless that person attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting is not lawfully called.

10.8 If a meeting of shareholders is to consider special business within the meaning of §11.1, the notice of meeting must:

(i) at the Company’s records office, or at such other reasonably accessible location in British Columbia as is specified in the notice; and


(ii) during statutory business hours on any one or more specified days before the day set for the holding of the meeting.

Place of Meetings

10.9 In addition to any location in British Columbia, any general meeting may be held in any location outside British Columbia approved by a resolution of the directors.

Requirement of Quorum

11.6 No business, other than the election of a chair of the meeting and the adjournment of the meeting, may be transacted at any meeting of shareholders unless a quorum of shareholders entitled to vote is present at the commencement of the meeting, but such quorum need not be present throughout the meeting.

If all of the directors present decline to take the chair or fail to so choose or if no director is present or the lawyer of the Company declines to take the chair, the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting who are present in person or by proxy may choose any person present at the meeting to chair the meeting.

Adjournments

11.11 The chair of a meeting of shareholders may, and if so directed by the meeting must, adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place, but no business may be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.

Notice of Adjourned Meeting
