INFORMATION CIRCULAR

for the Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Monday, December 22, 2025
(containing information as at November 10, 2025, unless indicated otherwise)

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This information circular (the "Information Circular") is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Pathfinder Ventures Inc. (the "Company") for use at the annual general and special meeting (the "Meeting") of the shareholders (the "Shareholders") of the Company, to be held on Monday, December 22, 2025 at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice of annual general meeting and at any adjournment thereof. The enclosed instrument of proxy (the "Proxy") is solicited by the management of the Company. The solicitation will be primarily by mail; however, proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone by the regular officers and employees of the Company. The cost of solicitation will be borne by the Company.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

The persons named in the Proxy are directors and/or officers of the Company. A Shareholder has the right to appoint a person (who need not be a shareholder) to attend and act for the Shareholder on the Shareholder's behalf at the Meeting other than the persons named in the Proxy. To exercise this right, a Shareholder shall strike out the names of the persons named in the Proxy and insert the name of the Shareholder's nominee in the blank space provided, or complete another instrument of proxy. An instrument of proxy will not be valid unless (i) duly completed, signed and dated by the Shareholder or by the Shareholder's attorney in writing, or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, it must either be under its common seal or signed by a duly authorized officer; and (ii) deposited with the Company's registrar and transfer agent, Odyssey Trust Company ("Odyssey") by hand or mail at Suite 350 - 409 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 1T2, or by such other means as may be specified in the Proxy, not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

A Shareholder who has given an instrument of proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, an instrument of proxy may be revoked by instrument in writing signed by the Shareholder or by the Shareholder's attorney authorized in writing, or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, it must either be under its common seal or signed by a duly authorized officer, and deposited with Odyssey, at Suite 350 - 409 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 1T2 or by such other means as may be specified in the Proxy, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof at which the instrument of proxy is to be used, or with the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. The revocation of an instrument of proxy does not affect any matter on which a vote has been taken prior to the revocation.

VOTING OF SHARES AND EXERCISE OF DISCRETION OF PROXIES

On any poll, the persons named in the Proxy will vote the shares in respect of which they are appointed. Where directions are given by the Shareholder in respect of voting for or against any resolution, the proxyholder will do so in accordance with such direction. In the absence of any instruction in the Proxy, it is intended that such shares will be voted in favour of the motions proposed to be made at the Meeting as stated under the headings in this Information Circular. The Proxy, when properly signed, confers discretionary authority with respect to amendments or variations to the matters which may properly be brought before the Meeting. At the time of printing this Information Circular, the management of the Company is not aware that any such amendments, variations or other matters are to be presented for action at the Meeting. However, if any other matters which are not now known to the management should properly come before the Meeting, the Proxies hereby solicited will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the nominee.

In order to approve a motion proposed at the Meeting, a majority greater than one-half (1/2) of the votes cast will be required unless the motion requires a special resolution, in which case a majority of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast will be required. In the event a motion proposed at the Meeting requires disinterested shareholder approval, common shares held by Shareholders of the Company who are also "insiders", as such term is defined under applicable securities laws, will be excluded from the count of votes cast on such motion.

ADVICE TO BENEFICIAL HOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many Shareholders as a substantial number of Shareholders do not hold common shares in their own name. Shareholders who do not hold their common shares in their own name (referred to in this Information Circular as "Beneficial Shareholders") should note that only instruments of proxy deposited by Shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Company 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 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 CDS & Co., the registration name for CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms.

The common shares held by brokers or their agents or nominees can only be voted (for or against resolutions) upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, a broker and its agents are prohibited from voting shares for the broker's clients. Therefore, Beneficial Shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their common shares are communicated to the appropriate person. Applicable regulatory rules require 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 purpose of the form of proxy or voting instruction form ("VIF") provided to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker, agent or nominee is limited to instructing the registered holder of the common shares on how to vote such shares on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder.

There are two kinds of Beneficial Shareholders: those who object to their name being made known to the issuer of the securities ("OBOs" for "Objecting Beneficial Owners"), and those who do not object to the issuer of the securities knowing who they are ("NOBOs" for "Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners"). Pursuant to National Instrument 54-101 Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer, issuers can obtain a list of their NOBOs from intermediaries for the distribution of proxy related materials to NOBOs. This year, the Company has decided to take advantage of those provisions of NI54-101 that permit it to directly deliver proxy related materials to its NOBOs. As a result, NOBOs can expect to receive a scannable VIF from the Company's transfer agent, Odyssey. These VIFs are to be completed and returned to Odyssey in the envelope provided or by facsimile. In addition, Odyssey provides both telephone voting and internet voting as described on the VIF itself which contains complete instructions. Odyssey will tabulate the results of the VIFs received from NOBOs and will provide appropriate instructions at the Meeting with respect to the common shares represented by the VIFs they receive.

The Company is not relying on the "notice-and-access" delivery procedures outlined in NI54-101 to distribute copies of the proxy related materials in connection with the Meeting. These securityholder materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered owners of the common shares of the Company. If you are a non-registered owner and the Company 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 this Information Circular and accompanying Proxy to you directly, the Company (and not the intermediary holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering this Information Circular to you; and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the request for voting instructions. The Company does not intend to pay for intermediaries to forward to OBOs, under NI54-101, the proxy related materials and Form 54-101F7 Request for Voting Instructions Made by Intermediary, and in the case of an OBO, the OBO will not receive the materials unless the OBO's intermediary assumes the cost of delivery.

Although Beneficial Shareholders may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purpose of voting common shares registered in the name of their broker, agent or nominee, a Beneficial Shareholder may attend the Meeting as a proxyholder for a 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 contact their broker, agent or nominee well in advance of the Meeting to determine the steps necessary to permit them to indirectly vote their common shares as a proxyholder.

All references to Shareholders in this Circular and the accompanying form of proxy are to registered shareholders unless specifically stated otherwise.

All numbers in this Information Circular reflect post-2024 Consolidation amounts.

Only Shareholders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date who either personally attend the Meeting or who have completed and delivered an instrument of proxy in the manner and subject to the provisions described under the heading "Appointment and Revocation of Proxies" above shall be entitled to vote, or have their common shares voted, at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. On any poll, each Shareholder of record holding common shares of the Company on the Record Date is entitled to one vote for each common share registered in his or her name on the list of shareholders as of the Record Date.

To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Company, no persons beneficially own, directly or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over, common shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all outstanding common shares of the Company as of the Record Date.

In accordance with the policies of the Exchange, the Compensation Plan must be confirmed by the Shareholders at each annual general meeting.

The purpose of the Compensation Plan is to promote the long-term success of the Corporation and the creation of Shareholder value by: (i) encouraging the attraction and retention of eligible persons; (ii) encouraging such eligible persons to focus on critical long-term objectives; and (iii) promoting greater alignment of the interests of such eligible persons with the interests of the Corporation. The Compensation Plan is a hybrid plan (10%) rolling and

Oversight and Description of NEO and Director Compensation

The Board as a whole determines NEO and director compensation as needed from time to time. The Compensation Committee of the Board recommendations on such compensation. Executive compensation levels are established with a view to attracting and retaining personnel critical to the Company's short and long term success, and to provide incentives and rewards for performance. Consideration is given to market standards generally and other factors which may be relevant such as competitive market conditions and an individual's particular education, training, skills and experience, the overall responsibilities, risks and time commitments of the position, and anticipated contributions and importance to the Company achieving its goals and objectives. Through its compensation practices, the Company seeks to create and unlock shareholder value through a strong and motivated executive leadership.

NEO compensation is typically comprised of a base salary, stock options, and as circumstances permit, pre-set or discretionary bonuses. As disclosed above in the "Compensation Securities" table, no stock options were granted to the NEOs and directors during the Reporting Year. No bonuses were set or otherwise awarded in the Reporting Year.

Base salary seeks to provide a competitive and fair level of base compensation. Stock option awards seek to incentive executives and align the executives' interests with increases in shareholder value and short and long term corporate growth and success. Stock option grants generally reflect the level of responsibility, risk and time commitment of the position, as well as past performance and anticipated future contributions. Consideration may also be given to the number and terms of options previously granted to the executive and the overall number of stock


options outstanding from time to time. Bonuses seek to incentivize executives to satisfy particular corporate goals or objectives, to improve financial performance and to achieve other milestones or are awarded on a discretionary basis as a result of exemplary performance. The size and form of a bonus is typically based on the Board's perceived value of the goal or objective to be attained. Base salary and other compensation mechanisms are currently not evaluated against a formal "peer group" but are determined by the Board in reliance upon the general experience of its members.

The Board has not conducted a formal evaluation of the implications of the risks associated with the Company's compensation policies. Risk management is a consideration of the Board when implementing its compensation policies and the Board does not believe that the Company's compensation policies result in unnecessary or inappropriate risk taking including risks that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company does not have a policy that would prohibit a NEO or 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 market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the NEO or director. Management, however, is not aware of any NEO or director purchasing or holding such an instrument.

Pension Disclosure

The Company does not provide a pension to any directors or NEOs and none are proposed at this time.

PARTICULARS OF OTHER MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

A. CONSOLIDATION OF COMMON SHARE CAPITAL

It is the opinion of management of the Company that further equity financing will be required in order for the Company to meet its working capital requirements and to fund any further acquisitions. It is management's further opinion, that a consolidation of the Company's share capital may be required in order to attract new equity investment in the Company. In addition to any requisite shareholder approval being sought at the Meeting, any such consolidation will also require the approval of all applicable regulatory authorities, including the Exchange. The Company's name will not be changed in conjunction with the consolidation.

The Company has the power to consolidate its common shares on a 2.5 old shares for 1 new basis. The Board of Directors further believes that it is in the best interests of Shareholders of the Company for the Board to have the authority to implement an additional consolidation of the Company's share capital on the basis of up to 4:1 (the


  • 13 -

"Share Consolidation"), or such lesser number as may be determined by the Board to be acceptable at the time, for a cumulative consolidation of up to 10:1.

As at the November 10, 2025 Record Date, the Company had 45,495,501 issued and outstanding fully paid and non-assessable common shares without par value. Assuming a maximum cumulative 10:1 consolidation, the aforesaid common shares will be consolidated to approximately 4,549,550 common shares issued and outstanding

Each fractional common share remaining after consolidation that is less than one-half of a common share will be cancelled and each fractional common share that is at least one-half of a common share will be changed to one whole common share.

At the Meeting the Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, pass the following special resolutions in respect of the proposed Share Consolidation:

"BE IT RESOLVED AS A SPECIAL RESOLUTION OF THE COMPANY THAT:

  1. the Board of Directors may and is hereby authorized to, in addition to the Company’s power to consolidate its common shares on a 2.5 old shares for 1 new share basis without shareholder approval, at any time following the date of this resolution until the date of the Company’s next annual general meeting, further consolidate (the "Share Consolidation") all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company on the basis (the "Consolidation Ratio") of up to four (4) pre-consolidation common shares for every one (1) new post-consolidation common share, or such lesser Consolidation Ratio as the Board of Directors may in its absolute discretion determine advisable in the circumstances, for a cumulative consolidation of up to 10:1, all without further notice to, approval by or ratification of the shareholders;

  2. upon the Share Consolidation, any fractional common share resulting from the Share Consolidation that is less than one-half of a common share shall be cancelled and any fractional common share that is at least one-half of a common share shall be converted to a whole common share;

  3. for greater certainty, notwithstanding the passing of this Special Resolution and the authorization provided for herein, the Board of Directors shall have the absolute discretion to determine if and when to affect the Share Consolidation, if at all, and to determine the final Consolidation Ratio in accordance with the terms thereof, and for greater certainty the Board of Directors may and is hereby authorized in its absolute discretion to determine not to affect the Share Consolidation and to otherwise abandon or revoke this Special Resolution at any time before it is acted upon, all without further notice to, approval by or ratification of the shareholders;

  4. the Board of Directors may and is hereby authorized to, without further notice to, approval by or ratification of the shareholders, modify, vary or amend the terms and conditions of the Share Consolidation as may be required by the regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Share Consolidation or the Company; and

  5. any director or officer of the Company be and is hereby authorized and directed to, on behalf of the Company, execute and deliver all such documents and to do all such acts and things as are considered necessary or advisable to give effect to this Special Resolution and any matters incidental thereto, the execution of any such document or the doing of any such act or thing being conclusive evidence of such determination and the Company’s approval and ratification thereof."

The foregoing resolution permits the directors to revoke these resolutions in whole or in part without further approval by the shareholders if in their discretion it is deemed desirable to do so.

The proposed Share Consolidation will not change in any way any shareholder's proportion of votes to total votes. However, if these resolutions are passed, the total number of votes that a shareholder may cast at any future general meeting of the Company will be reduced.

In order to pass a special resolution, at least two-thirds of the votes cast by holders of common shares, present in person or by proxy at the Meeting, must be voted in favour of the special resolution. The Company cannot proceed with the proposed Share Consolidation without the prior approval of the Exchange. If shareholders pass the resolutions and the Exchange approves the Share Consolidation, the Share Consolidation will take effect on a date to be coordinated with the Exchange and announced in advance by the Company.

Management recommends that shareholders vote for the approval of these special resolutions in order to facilitate the Corporation's financing efforts on a going forward basis. The persons named in the enclosed Proxy intend to


  • 14 -

vote for the approval of the foregoing resolutions at the Meeting unless otherwise directed by the shareholders appointing them.

Certain Risks Associated with the Share Consolidation

There can be no assurance that the total market capitalization of the Company (the aggregate value of all common shares at the market price then in effect) immediately after the Share Consolidation will be equal to or greater than the total market capitalization immediately before the Share Consolidation. In addition, there can be no assurance that the per-share market price of the common shares following the Share Consolidation will equal or exceed the direct arithmetical result of the Share Consolidation.

If the Share Consolidation is implemented and the market price of the Company's common shares declines, the percentage decline may be greater than would occur in the absence of the Share Consolidation. The market price of the Company's common shares will, however, also be based on the Company's performance and other factors, which are unrelated to the number of common shares outstanding. Furthermore, the liquidity of the Company's common shares could be adversely affected by the reduced number of common shares that would be outstanding after the Share Consolidation.

The Share Consolidation may result in some shareholders owning "odd lots" of less than 500 common shares on a post-consolidation basis which may be more difficult to sell, or require greater transaction costs per share to sell.

Principal Effects of the Share Consolidation

If approved and implemented, the Share Consolidation will occur simultaneously for all of the Company's common shares and the consolidation ratio will be the same for all of such shares.

The principal effects of the Share Consolidation (assuming a consolidation on the basis of 10:1) will be that the number of common shares of the Company issued and outstanding will be reduced by approximately 90%.

Effect on Non-Registered Shareholders

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

Effect on Share Certificates

If the proposed Share Consolidation is approved by Shareholders and implemented by the Company's Board of Directors, registered Shareholders will be required to exchange their share certificates representing pre-consolidation common shares. Following the announcement by the Company of the effective date of the Share Consolidation, registered Shareholders will be sent a transmittal letter from the Company's transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc., as soon as practicable after the effective date of the Share Consolidation. The letter of transmittal will contain instructions on how to surrender your certificate(s) representing your pre-consolidation common shares to the transfer agent. The transfer agent will forward to each registered Shareholder who has sent the required documents a new share certificate representing the number of post-consolidation common shares to which the Shareholder is entitled. Until surrendered, each share certificate representing pre-consolidation common shares of the Company will be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of whole post-consolidation common shares to which the holder is entitled as a result of the Share Consolidation.

Effect on Stock Options and Other Convertible Securities

In addition to the issued and outstanding common shares, the common shares currently reserved for issuance by the Company pursuant to outstanding stock options and other convertible securities, and the exercise price thereof, will be adjusted to give effect to the Share Consolidation. The number of common shares issuable on the exercise of the stock options or other convertible securities will equal the number obtained when the number of common shares issuable are divided by up to ten (10) and the exercise price will be multiplied by ten (10).

B. RE-APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY'S SECURITY-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to pass the following ordinary resolution, substantially in the following form (the "Compensation Plan Resolution"), to re-approve the Compensation Plan as more particularly described


  • 15 -

above under the heading "Named Executive Officer and Director Compensation – Stock Option Plans and Other Incentive Plans":

"BE IT RESOLVED as an ordinary resolution of the Company that:

  1. the Compensation Plan, be and is hereby ratified, confirmed and approved with such additional provisions and amendments, provided that such are not inconsistent with the Policies of the Exchange, as the directors of the Company may deem necessary or advisable;
  2. all issued and outstanding stock options of the Company previously granted shall be continued under and governed by the Compensation Plan; and
  3. the directors of the Company be authorized to perform all such other acts and things as may be necessary or desirable to effect the adoption of the Compensation Plan; and that the directors of the Company be authorized to implement or abandon these resolutions in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time in their sole discretion, all without further approval, ratification or confirmation by shareholders."

Management recommends that Shareholders approve the Compensation Plan Resolution. If the Compensation Plan Resolution is approved by Shareholders, the Directors will have the authority, in their sole discretion, to implement or revoke the Compensation Plan Resolution and otherwise implement or abandon the Compensation Plan.

In the absence of instructions to the contrary, the Proxyholders intend to vote the Common Shares represented by each Proxy, properly executed, FOR the Compensation Plan Resolution.

C. OTHER MATTERS

As of the date of this Information Circular, management knows of no other matters to be acted upon at this Meeting. However, should any other matters properly come before the Meeting, the shares represented by the proxy solicited hereby will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the persons voting the shares represented by the proxy.

ITEM 1: THE AUDIT COMMITTEE'S CHARTER

PURPOSE

The overall purpose of the Audit Committee (the "Committee") of Pathfinder Ventures Inc. (the "Company") is to ensure that the Company's management has designed and implemented an effective system of internal financial controls, to review and report on the integrity of the consolidated financial statements and related financial disclosure of the Company, and to review the Company's compliance with regulatory and statutory requirements as they relate to financial statements, taxation matters and disclosure of financial information. It is the intention of the Board that through the involvement of the Committee, the external audit will be conducted independently of the Company's management to ensure that the independent auditors serve the interests of Shareholders rather than the interests of management of the Company. The Committee will act as a liaison to provide better communication between the Board and the external auditors. The Committee will monitor the independence and performance of the Company's independent auditors.

COMPOSITION, PROCEDURES AND ORGANIZATION

(1) The Committee shall consist of at least three members of the Board of Directors (the "Board"). At least two (2) members of the Committee shall be independent and the Committee shall endeavour to appoint a majority of independent directors to the Committee, who in the opinion of the Board, would be free from a relationship which would interfere with the exercise of the Committee members' independent judgment. At least one (1) member of the Committee shall have accounting or related financial management expertise. All members of the Committee that are not financially literate will work towards becoming financially literate to obtain a working familiarity with basic finance and accounting practices applicable to the Company. For the purposes of this Charter, an individual is financially literate if he or she has the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company's financial statements.

(2) The Board, at its organizational meeting held in conjunction with each annual general meeting of the shareholders, shall appoint the members of the Committee for the ensuing year. The Board may at any time remove or replace any member of the Committee and may fill any vacancy in the Committee.

(3) Unless the Board shall have appointed a chair of the Committee, the members of the Committee shall elect a chair and a secretary from among their number.

(4) The quorum for meetings shall be a majority of the members of the Committee, present in person or by telephone or other telecommunication device that permits all persons participating in the meeting to speak and to hear each other.

(5) The Committee shall have access to such officers and employees of the Company and to the Company's external auditors, and to such information respecting the Company, as it considers to be necessary or advisable in order to perform its duties and responsibilities.

(6) Meetings of the Committee shall be conducted as follows:

(a) the Committee shall meet at least four times annually at such times and at such locations as may be requested by the chair of the Committee. The external auditors or any member of the Committee may request a meeting of the Committee;

(b) the external auditors shall receive notice of and have the right to attend all meetings of the Committee; and

(c) management representatives may be invited to attend all meetings except private sessions with the external auditors.


A-2

(7) The internal auditors and the external auditors shall have a direct line of communication to the Committee through its chair and may bypass management if deemed necessary.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

(1) The overall duties and responsibilities of the Committee shall be as follows:

(c) review the audit plan of the external auditors prior to the commencement of the audit;

(d) to review with the external auditors, upon completion of their audit, the contents of their report; scope and quality of the audit work performed; adequacy of the Company's financial and auditing personnel; co-operation received from the Company's personnel during the audit; internal resources used; significant transactions outside of the normal business of the Company; significant proposed adjustments and recommendations for improving internal accounting controls, accounting principles or management systems; and the non-audit services provided by the external auditors;

(a) to discuss with the external auditors the quality and not just the acceptability of the Company's accounting principles; and

(b) to implement structures and procedures to ensure that the Committee meets the external auditors on a regular basis in the absence of management.

(3) The duties and responsibilities of the Committee as they relate to the internal control procedures of the Company are to:
