THUNDER GOLD CORP.

Management Information Circular for the
Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders
to be held on Friday, December 19, 2025

This Management Information Circular (the “Circular”) is provided in connection with the solicitation of proxies by management of Thunder Gold Corp. (the “Corporation”) for use at the annual general and special meeting (the “Meeting”) of the holders (“Shareholders”) of common shares of the Corporation (“Shares”). The Meeting will be held at the offices of Wildeboer Dellelce LLP, Wildeboer Dellelce Place, Suite 800, 365 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 2V1 on Friday, December 19, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) and broadcast via teleconference (listen only) at (647) 558-0588 (Canada) or (929) 205-6099 (US) (conference room number 843 4666 0693), or at such other time or place to which the Meeting may be postponed or adjourned, for the purposes set forth in the Notice of Meeting accompanying this Circular (the “Notice”).

Information in this Circular is given as of November 18, 2025, except as otherwise indicated herein. Unless otherwise indicated, dollar amounts or references to “$” are expressed in Canadian dollars.

GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

Solicitation of Proxies

This Circular is provided in connection with the solicitation of proxies by management of the Corporation for use at the Meeting. It is expected that the solicitation will be primarily by mail, but proxies may also be solicited personally, by advertisement or by telephone by employees of the Corporation without special compensation, at nominal cost. The costs of solicitation will be borne by the Corporation. The Corporation will pay the reasonable expenses of persons who are the registered but not beneficial owners of Shares for forwarding copies of the Notice, this Circular and the enclosed form of proxy (collectively the “Meeting Materials”) to non-objecting beneficial owners.

Contained in the Meeting Materials is a form of proxy for use at the Meeting (the “Instrument of Proxy”). Each Shareholder who is entitled to attend at meetings of Shareholders is encouraged to participate in the Meeting and Shareholders are urged to vote on matters to be considered at the Meeting in person or by proxy.

Appointment, Time for Deposit and Revocation of Proxies

Appointment of a Proxy

Those Shareholders who wish to be represented at the Meeting by proxy must complete and deliver a proper form of proxy to the Proxy Department of Computershare Investor Services Inc., 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5J 2Y1 (facsimile (866) 249-7775). As an alternative to completing and submitting a proxy for use at the Meeting, a Shareholder may vote electronically on the internet at www.investorvote.com or by telephone by contacting Computershare Investor Services Inc. at 1-866-732-8683. Votes cast electronically or by telephone are in all respects equivalent to, and will be treated in the same manner as, votes cast via a paper Instrument of Proxy. Shareholders who wish to vote using internet or by telephone should follow the instructions provided in the Instrument of Proxy contained in the Meeting Materials. Votes cast electronically or by telephone must be submitted no later than 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on December 17, 2025, or at least 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays, before any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting.


  • 2 -

The persons named as proxyholders in the Instrument of Proxy contained in the Meeting Materials are directors or officers of the Corporation and are representatives of the Corporation’s management for the Meeting. A Shareholder who wishes to appoint some other person (who need not be a Shareholder) as his, her or its representative at the Meeting may do so by either: (i) crossing out the names of the management nominees AND legibly printing the other person’s name in the blank space provided in the Instrument of Proxy included in the Meeting Materials; or (ii) completing another valid form of proxy. In either case, the completed form of proxy must be delivered to the Corporate Secretary of the Corporation, at the place and within the time specified herein for the deposit of proxies. A Shareholder who appoints a proxy who is someone other than the management representatives named in the Instrument of Proxy should notify the nominee of the appointment, obtain the nominee’s consent to act as proxy, and provide instructions on how Shares are to be voted. The nominee should bring personal identification to the Meeting. The form of proxy should be dated and executed by the Shareholder or an attorney authorized in writing, with proof of such authorization attached (where an attorney executed the proxy form).

In order to validly appoint a proxy, the Instrument of Proxy must be received by the Proxy Department of Computershare Investor Services Inc., 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5J 2Y1 (facsimile (866) 249-7775) no later than 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on December 17, 2025 or at least 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays, before any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting. After such time, the chair of the Meeting may accept or reject a form of proxy delivered to him or her in his or her discretion but is under no obligation to accept or reject any particular late Instrument of Proxy.

Non-Registered Holders

Only registered holders of Shares or the persons they appoint as their proxies are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Many Shareholders are “non-registered” Shareholders (“Non-Registered Shareholders”) because the shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead either (i) registered in the name of an intermediary (the “Intermediary”) that the Non-Registered Shareholder deals with in respect of the Shares, such as, among others, brokerage firms, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans, or (ii) in the name of a clearing agency (such as the Canadian Depository for Securities Limited) of which the Intermediary is a participant. In accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (“NI 54-101”) of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Corporation has distributed copies of the Meeting Materials to Intermediaries and clearing agencies for onward distribution to Non-Registered Shareholders.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Shareholders unless a Non-Registered Shareholder has waived the right to receive them. Intermediaries often use service companies to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Shareholders. A Non-Registered Shareholder who has not waived the right to receive the Meeting Materials will either be given:

(a) a voting instruction form which is not signed by the Intermediary and which, when properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Shareholder and returned to the Intermediary or its service company, in accordance with the directions of the Intermediary and which will constitute voting instructions which the Intermediary must follow; or

(b) a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically a facsimile signature), which is restricted as to the number of shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Shareholder, but which is otherwise not completed by the Intermediary. This form


  • 3 -

of proxy does not require the Intermediary to sign when submitting the proxy. In this case the Non-Registered Shareholder who wishes to submit a proxy should properly complete the form of proxy and deposit it with the Proxy Department of Computershare Investor Services Inc., 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5J 2Y1 (facsimile (866) 249-7775).

In either case, the purpose of these procedures is to permit the Non-Registered Shareholder to direct the voting of the Shares the Non-Registered Shareholder beneficially owns. Should a Non-Registered Shareholder wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person, (or have another person attend and vote on behalf of the Non-Registered Shareholder), the Non-Registered Shareholder should strike out the persons named in the form of proxy and insert his or her name in the space provided for the purpose on the voting instructions form and return it in accordance with the directions of the Intermediary.

The Non-Registered Shareholder should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when and where the proxy or voting instructions form is to be delivered.

A Non-Registered Shareholder may revoke a form of proxy or voting instructions form given to an Intermediary by contacting the Intermediary through which the Non-Registered Shareholder's Shares are held and following the instructions of the Intermediary respecting the revocation of proxies. In order to ensure that an Intermediary acts upon a revocation of a proxy form or voting instruction form, the written notice should be received by the Intermediary well in advance of the Meeting.

Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners

These Meeting Materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered owners of the securities. If you are a Non-Registered Shareholder who does not object to the Corporation knowing who you are, the Corporation has sent these materials directly to you, and your name and address and information about your holdings of securities have been obtained in accordance with NI 54-101 from the intermediary holding on your behalf. By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Corporation (and not the Intermediary holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the request for voting instructions or form of proxy delivered to you.

Revoking a Proxy

A Shareholder who has validly given a proxy may revoke it for any matter upon which a vote has not already been cast by the proxyholder appointed in the proxy. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked with an instrument in writing signed and delivered to either the offices of the transfer agent to the Corporation at Proxy Department of Computershare Investor Services Inc., 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5J 2Y1 (facsimile (866) 249-7775), at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof at which the proxy is to be used, or deposited with the chair of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof. The document used to revoke a proxy must be in writing and completed and signed by the Shareholder or his or her attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized. As well, a Shareholder who has given a proxy may attend the Meeting in person (or where the Shareholder is a corporation, its authorized representative may attend), revoke the proxy (by indicating such intention to the chair of the Meeting before the proxy is exercised) and vote in person at the Meeting (or withhold from voting).


  • 4 -

If a Shareholder has voted on the internet or by telephone and wishes to change such vote, such Shareholder may vote again through such means before 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on December 17, 2025, or at least 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays, before any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting.

Signature on Proxies

The Instrument of Proxy must be executed by the Shareholder or his or her duly appointed attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer whose title must be indicated. An Instrument of Proxy signed by a person acting as attorney or in some other representative capacity should indicate that person's capacity (following his or her signature) and should be accompanied by the appropriate instrument evidencing qualification and authority to act (unless such instrument has been previously filed with the Corporation).

Voting of Proxies

Each Shareholder may instruct his, her or its proxyholder on how to vote his, her or its Shares by completing the blanks on the Instrument of Proxy. Shares represented by the Instrument of Proxy included in the Meeting Materials will be voted or withheld from voting on any motion, by ballot or otherwise, in accordance with any indicated instructions. In the absence of such direction, such Shares will be voted IN FAVOUR OF PASSING THE RESOLUTIONS DESCRIBED IN THE INSTRUMENT OF PROXY AND BELOW. If any amendment or variation to the matters identified in the Notice is proposed at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, or if any other matters properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, the Instrument of Proxy confers discretionary authority to vote on such amendments or variations or such other matters according to the best judgment of the appointed proxyholder. As at the date of this Circular, the management of the Corporation knows of no such amendments or variations or other matters to come before the Meeting.

Please note that you will not be able to vote or ask questions via teleconference. If you intend to listen to the Meeting via teleconference, which is strongly encouraged, you must vote on the matters prior to the Meeting by proxy, appointing the person designated by management in the Instrument of Proxy or voting instruction form.

Unless otherwise stated, Shares represented by a valid Instrument of Proxy will be voted in favour of: (i) fixing the Corporation's Board of Directors (the "Board") at five (5) directors; (ii) the election of nominees set forth in this Circular except where a vacancy among such nominees occurs prior to the Meeting, in which case, such Shares may be voted in favour of another nominee in the proxyholder's discretion; (iii) the appointment of Kreston GTA LLP as auditors of the Corporation and the authorization of the to fix their remuneration; and (iv) approving and re-confirming the amended and restated stock option plan of the Corporation.

All matters to be voted upon as set forth in the Notice require approval by a simple majority of all votes cast at the Meeting.

All references to Shareholders in this Circular and the Instrument of Proxy and Notice are to registered Shareholders unless specifically stated otherwise.

5. Confirmation and Re-Approval of the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan

The Corporation’s stock option plan (the “Stock Option Plan”), as amended and restated in accordance with TSXV Policy 4.4 - Security Based Compensation, was approved at the Corporation’s annual general and special meeting of the Shareholders held on December 13, 2024, which plan permits the Board to grant options (“Options”) to purchase up to ten percent (10%) of the issued number of Shares outstanding at the date of the Option grant. A maximum of 10% of the issued Shares of the Corporation, from time to time, may be reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of Options.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed appropriate, pass an ordinary resolution (the “Stock Option Plan Resolution”) re-approving the Stock Option Plan. The Stock Option Plan Resolution requires a favourable vote of a majority of the Shares voted in respect thereof at the Meeting. The TSXV requires such approval before it will allow the re-adoption of the Stock Option Plan. Options to purchase Shares that were previously granted to directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors of the Corporation will be deemed to be granted under the Stock Option Plan.

The full text of the resolutions to be considered at the Meeting is set forth below:

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The main objective of the Corporation’s executive compensation program is to attract, retain, and engage high- quality, high-performance executives who have the experience and ability to successfully execute the Corporation’s strategy and deliver value to our shareholders.

(i) The objectives of the Corporation’s executive compensation program are as follows:

(ii) compensate executives competitively for the leadership, skills, knowledge, and experience necessary to perform their duties;

(iii) align the actions and economic interests of executives with the interests of shareholders; and

(iv) encourage retention of executives.

The independent members of the Board, being Elliot Strashin, Scott Jobin-Bevans, Warren Bates and Charles Nigel Lees (the “Independent Directors”) annually review and set remuneration of executive officers. The Independent Directors determined that the executive compensation program should be comprised of the following elements:

(i) Base Salary – to compensate executives for the leadership, skills, knowledge and experience required to perform their duties; and

(ii) Long-term Incentive Plan – to retain talented executives, reward them for their anticipated contribution to the long-term successful performance of the Corporation and align them with the interests of shareholders. The plan currently consists only of incentive stock options.

Process for Determining Executive Compensation

To determine compensation payable, the Independent Directors consider an appropriate compensation reflecting the need to provide incentive and compensation for the time and effort expended by the directors and senior management while taking into account the financial and other resources of the Corporation. In setting the compensation the Independent Directors annually review the performance of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and President, as applicable, in light of the Corporation’s objectives and consider other factors that may have impacted the success of the Corporation in achieving its objectives.

Compensation Policies and Risk Management

The Board has not proceeded to an evaluation of the implications of the risks associated with the Corporation’s compensation policies and practices. Commencing in 2012, the Board reviews at least once annually the risks, if any, associated with the Corporation’s compensation policies and practices at such time.

The Corporation has not retained a compensation consultant during or subsequent to the most recently completed financial year.


  • 11 -

The Corporation has not used a “benchmark group” to determine executive compensation levels in the past. However, the Corporation compares levels with three or four companies in similar industries to determine executive compensation. Total compensation for executive officers includes consulting fees and long-term incentive stock options.

Hedging of Economic Risks in the Corporation’s Securities

The Corporation has not adopted a policy forbidding directors and officers from purchasing financial instruments that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of the Corporation’s securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by directors or officers. The Corporation is not, however, aware of any directors of officers having entered into this type of transaction.

Option-Based Awards

The Corporation’s Stock Option Plan has been and will be used to provide Options which are granted in consideration of the level of responsibility of the executive as well as his or her impact or contribution to the longer-term operating performance of the Corporation. In determining the number of Options to be granted to the executive officers, the Board takes into account the number of Options, if any, previously granted to each executive officer, and the exercise price of any outstanding options to ensure that such grants are in accordance with the policies of the TSXV, and closely align the interests of the executive officers with the interests of Shareholders.

As the Corporation currently has no Compensation Committee, the Independent Directors (Elliot Strashin, Scott Jobin-Bevans, Warren Bates, and Charles Nigel Lees) have the responsibility to administer the compensation policies related to the executive management of the Corporation, including option-based awards.

Summary Compensation Table

The following tables, which is presented in accordance with National Instrument Form 51-102F6V - Statement of Executive Compensation which came into force on December 31, 2008 (“Form 51-102F6V”) sets forth all annual and long term compensation for services in all capacities to the Corporation for the two most recently completed financial years of the Corporation (to the extent required by Form 51-102F6V) in respect of each of the individuals comprised of each of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) who acted in such capacity for all or any portion of the two most recently completed financial years, and each of the three most highly compensated executive officers, or the three most highly compensated individuals acting in a similar capacity, (other than the CEO and the CFO), as at April 30, 2025 whose total compensation was, individually, more than $150,000 for the financial year and any individual who would have satisfied these criteria but for the fact that individual was neither an executive officer of the Corporation, nor acting in a similar capacity, at the end of the Corporation’s most recently completed financial year (collectively the “Named Executive Officers” or “NEOs”).

Stock Option Plan

10% Rolling Stock Option Plan

Under the Corporation’s Stock Option Plan, options are exercisable over periods of up to ten years as determined by the Board and are required to have an exercise price no less than the closing market price of the Corporation’s shares on the trading day immediately preceding the day on which the Corporation announces the grant of options (or, if the grant is not announced, the closing market price prevailing on the day that the option is granted), less the applicable discount, if any, permitted by the policies of the TSXV and approved by the Board, subject to a minimum exercise price of $0.05 as required by the policies of the TSXV. Pursuant to the Stock Option Plan, the Board may from time to time authorize the issue of options to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Corporation and its subsidiaries or employees of companies providing management or consulting services to the Corporation or its subsidiaries. The maximum number of common shares which may be issued pursuant to options previously granted and those granted under the Stock Option Plan is 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares at the time of the grant. Pursuant to the Stock Option Plan, the Board, subject to the policies of the TSXV, may determine and impose the vesting schedule and any vesting terms of the Option Shares granted. Unless otherwise specified by the Board, all Options granted under the Stock Option Plan shall vest and become exercisable in full upon grant, except Options granted to Eligible Persons performing Investor Relations Activities, which Options must vest in stages over twelve months with no more than one-quarter of the Options vesting in any three month period.

All terms used herein not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Stock Option Plan.

The Stock Option Plan contains the following additional provisions:

  • With the exception of options granted to a person undertaking investor relations activities, if a change of control (as defined in the Stock Option Plan) occurs, or if the Corporation is subject to a

  • 13 -

take-over bid, all shares subject to stock options shall immediately become vested and may thereupon be exercised in whole or in part by the option holder, subject to the approval of the Exchanges, if necessary. Earlier vesting of Options granted to Optionees who undertake Investor Relations Activities will be subject to the prior written approval of the Exchange.

  • Upon an offer (as defined the Stock Option Pan) being made by an offeror, the Board may, upon notifying each Optionee of full particulars of the offer, declare all Option Shares issuable upon the exercise of Options granted under the Plan, Vested, and declare that the Expiry Date for the exercise of all unexercised Options granted under the Stock Option Plan is accelerated so that all Options will either be exercised or will expire prior to the date upon which Shares must be tendered pursuant to the Offer, provided that any accelerated vesting of Options granted to Eligible Persons performing Investor Relations Activities shall be subject to the prior written approval of the TSXV.

  • Unless Disinterested Shareholder Approval is obtained:

  • The aggregate number of Shares issuable Insiders at any time under the Plan and any other Security Based Compensation arrangement of the Corporation shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the total issued and outstanding Shares (on a non-diluted basis) at any point in time;

  • The aggregate number of Shares issuable Insiders under the Plan and any other Security Based Compensation arrangement of the Corporation within any 12 month period shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the total issued and outstanding Shares (on a non-diluted basis) calculated as at the Grant Date;

  • The aggregate number of Shares issuable to any one Eligible Persons at any time under the Plan and any other Security Based Compensation arrangement of the Corporation within any 12 month period, shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the total issued and outstanding Shares (on a non-diluted basis) calculated as at the Grant Date;

  • The aggregate number of Shares issuable to any one Consultant in any 12 month period under the Plan and any other Security Based Compensation arrangement of the Corporation, shall not exceed two percent (2%) of the total issued and outstanding Shares (on a non-diluted basis) calculated as at the Grant Date.

  • The aggregate number of Shares issuable in a 12 month period to all Eligible Persons who undertake Investor Relations Activities shall not exceed two percent (2%) of the total issued and outstanding Shares (on a non-diluted basis) calculated as at the Grant Date.

  • The Stock Option Plan contains adjustment provisions with respect to outstanding options in cases of share reorganizations, special distributions and other corporation reorganizations including an arrangement or other transaction under which the business or assets of the Corporation become, collectively, the business and assets of two or more companies with the same shareholder group upon the distribution to the Corporation's shareholders, or the exchange with the Corporation's shareholders, of securities of the Corporation or securities of another company.

  • On the death or disability of an option holder, all vested options will expire at the earlier of 365 days after the date of death or disability and the expiry date of such options. Where an optionee is terminated for cause, any outstanding options (whether vested or unvested) are cancelled as of the date of termination. If an optionee retires or voluntarily resigns or is otherwise terminated by the


  • 14 -

Corporation other than for cause, then all vested options held by such optionee will expire at the earlier of (i) the expiry date of such options and (ii) the date which is 90 days (30 days if the optionee was engaged in investor relations activities) after the optionee ceases its office, employment or engagement with the Corporation.

  • If pursuant to the operation of an adjustment provision of the Stock Option Plan, an optionee receives options (the “New Options”) to purchase securities of another company (the “New Company”) in respect of the optionee’s options under the Stock Option Plan (the “Subject Options”), the New Options shall expire on the earlier of: (i) the expiry date of the Subject Options; (ii) if the optionee does not become an eligible person in respect of the New Company, the date that the Subject Options expire pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Stock Option Plan relating to expiration of options in cases of death, disability or termination of employment discussed in the preceding paragraph above (the “Termination Provisions”); (iii) if the optionee becomes an eligible person in respect of the New Company, the date that the New Options expire pursuant to the terms of the New Company’s stock option plan that correspond to the Termination Provisions; and (iv) the date that is one (1) years after the optionee ceases to be an eligible person in respect of the New Company or such shorter period as determined by the Board.

  • In accordance with good corporate governance practices and as recommended by National Policy 51-201 - Disclosure Standards, the Corporation imposes black-out periods restricting the trading of its securities by directors, officers, employees and consultants during periods surrounding the release of annual and interim financial statements and at other times when deemed necessary by management and the board of directors. To ensure that holders of outstanding stock options are not prejudiced by the imposition of such black-out periods, any outstanding stock options with an expiry date occurring during a management imposed black-out period thereafter will be automatically extended to a date that is 10 trading days following the end of the Black-Out Period. Unless the Corporation or Optionee is subject to a cease trade order (or similar order under applicable securities laws) in respect of the Corporation’s securities.

  • In accordance with the policies of the TSXV, any adjustments to the Options granted under the Stock Option Plan are subject the prior acceptance of the TSXV and any other governmental authority having jurisdiction.

Pension Plan Benefits

The Corporation does not have a pension plan that provides for payments or benefits to the Named Executive Officers at, following, or in connection with retirement.

Termination and Change of Control Benefits

A summary of the termination and change of control benefits to which the Named Executive Officers of the Corporation are entitled to receive are described below.

The Corporation has entered into an employment agreement with each of Wesley Hanson, President and CEO of the Corporation, and David Speck, CFO of the Corporation, (each, an “Executive”) providing for certain payments at, following or in connection with any termination (whether voluntary, involuntary or constructive), resignation, retirement, a change of control of the Corporation or a change in either Executive’s respective responsibilities.

In the event that a change of control of the Corporation occurs, all Options granted to an Executive under the Stock Option Plan shall immediately be vested and exercisable.

If an Executive is terminated or resigns within twelve months after a change of control of the Corporation, the Corporation shall pay to such Executive an amount equal to the salary that would have been payable to him had his employment with the Corporation continued for 12 months (the “Severance Period”); and maintain such Executive’s benefits for the Severance Period or, if that is not possible or if so requested by the Executive, pay such Executive an amount equal to the value of his benefits for the Severance Period (which, in the case of insurance benefits, shall be the amount of the premiums that would have been payable by the Corporation to provide the insurance benefits).

If at any time, other than within twelve months after a change of control of the Corporation, the Corporation terminates an Executive’s employment with the Corporation for any reason other than for disability or cause or an Executive terminates his employment with the Corporation for good reason, in addition to any other amounts that may be payable to such Executive under his employment agreement, the Corporation shall pay to such Executive an amount equal to the salary that would have been payable to such Executive had his employment with the Corporation continued for the Severance Period. If the Corporation terminates an Executive’s employment for cause, the Corporation shall pay any amounts payable under his respective employment agreement up to the date of his termination. If an Executive’s employment is terminated by the mutual agreement of such Executive and the Corporation, such Executive will continue to accrue and receive his annual salary and benefits through to the date of termination reached pursuant to the mutual agreement of the Corporation and such Executive.

Other than with Mr. Hanson and Mr. Speck, the Corporation has no contract, agreement, plan or arrangement that provides for payments to a Named Executive Officer following or in connection with any termination (whether voluntary, involuntary or constructive), resignation, retirement, a change of control of the Corporation or its subsidiaries, or a change in responsibilities of the NEO following a change in control.

Director Compensation

The Corporation has no arrangements, standard or otherwise, pursuant to which Directors are compensated by the Corporation for their services in their capacity as Directors, or for committee participation, involvement in special assignments or for services as consultant or expert during the most recently completed financial year or subsequently, up to and including the date of this Circular.

The Stock Option Plan is intended for the granting of incentive stock options to, among others, the officers, employees and Directors of the Corporation. The purpose of granting such Options is to assist the Corporation in compensating, attracting, retaining and motivating the Directors of the Corporation and to closely align the personal interests of such persons with that of the Shareholders.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

A summary of the responsibilities and activities and the membership of each of the Committees are set out below. National Policy 58-201 establishes corporate governance guidelines which apply to all public companies. The Corporation has reviewed its own corporate governance practices in light of these guidelines. In certain cases, the Corporation’s practices comply with the guidelines, however, the Board considers that some of the guidelines are not suitable for the Corporation at its current stage of development and therefore these guidelines have not been adopted. National Instrument 58-101 mandates disclosure of corporate governance practices which disclosure is set out below.

Independence of Members of Board

The Board is currently comprised of five (5) directors. Form 58-101F1 suggests that the board of directors of every listed company should be constituted with a majority of individuals who qualify as “independent” directors under Multilateral Instrument 52-110 (“MI 52-110”), which provides that a director is independent if he or she has no direct or indirect “material relationship” with the Corporation. “Material relationship” is defined as a relationship which could, in the view of the Corporation’s board of directors, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgment. Four (4) of the five (5) proposed directors are considered by the Board to be “independent”, within the meaning of MI 52-110. Wesley Hanson is not independent as he is the President and CEO of the Corporation.

Management Supervision by Board

The size of the Corporation is such that all the Corporation’s operations are conducted by a small management team which is also represented on the Board. The Board considers that management is effectively supervised by the Independent Directors on an informal basis as the Independent Directors are actively and regularly involved in reviewing the operations of the Corporation and have regular and full access to management. The Independent Directors are however able to meet at any time without any members of management including the non-Independent Directors being present.

Participation of Directors in Other Reporting Issuers

The following table sets forth the directors of the Corporation who currently hold directorships with other reporting issuers:

Name Name and Jurisdiction of Reporting Issuer Position
Scott Jobin-Bevans Stroud Resources Ltd. (TSXV)
Northern Shield Resources Inc. (TSXV)
International Prospect Ventures Ltd. (TSXV)
Vision Lithium Inc. (TSXV)
Sienna Resources Inc. (CVE)
EV Minerals Corporation (CVE)
Makenita Resources Inc. (CVE) Director, Interim President & CEO
Director
Director, VP Exploration
Director
Director
Director
Director
Wesley Hanson Xplore Resources Corp. (TSXV) Director
Charles Nigel Lees Silver Elephant Mining Corp (TSX) Director

Orientation and Continuing Education

While the Corporation does not have formal orientation and training programs, new Board members are provided with:


  • access to recent, publicly filed documents of the Corporation, technical reports and the Corporation’s internal financial information;
  • access to management; and
  • have full access to the Corporation’s records.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board views good corporate governance as an integral component to the success of the Corporation and to meet responsibilities to shareholders. The Board has considered adopting a written Code of Conduct and has decided it is not necessary to adopt such a code at the present time, due to the current activity level of the Corporation. When the Board has adopted a Code of Conduct, it will be posted on the Corporation’s website.

The Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Corporation’s governing corporate legislation and the common law, and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual director’s participation in decisions of the Board in which the director has an interest have been sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Corporation.

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

Nomination of Directors

The Board determines new nominees to the Board, although a formal process has not been adopted. The nominees are generally the result of recruitment efforts by the Board members, including both formal and informal discussions among Board members and the President and CEO. The Board monitors but does not formally assess the performance of individual Board members or committee members or their contributions.

Compensation of Directors and the CEO

The Independent Directors are Elliot Strashin, Scott Jobin-Bevans, Warren Bates and Charles Nigel Lees. These Directors have the responsibility for determining compensation for the Directors and senior management.

To determine compensation payable, the Independent Directors review compensation paid for directors and CEOs of companies of similar size and stage of development in the mining industry and determine an appropriate compensation reflecting the need to provide incentive and compensation for the time and effort expended by the directors and senior management while taking into account the financial and other resources of the Corporation. In setting the compensation, the independent directors annually review the performance of the CEO in light of the Corporation’s objectives and consider other factors that may have impacted the success of the Corporation in achieving its objectives.

Board Committees


  • 19 -

As the Directors are actively involved in the operations of the Corporation and the size of the Corporation’s operations does not warrant a larger Board of Directors, the Board has determined that additional committees (other than the audit committee) are not necessary at this stage of the Corporation’s development.

Assessments

The Board does not consider that formal assessments would be useful at this stage of the Corporation’s development. The Board conducts informal annual assessments of the Board’s effectiveness, the individual directors and each of its committees. To assist in its review, the Board conducts informal surveys of its directors, receives an annual report from the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee on its assessment of the functioning of the Board and reports from each committee respecting its own effectiveness.

Expectations of Management

The Board expects management to operate the business of the Corporation in a manner that enhances shareholder value and is consistent with the highest level of integrity. Management is expected to execute the Corporation’s business plan.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee’s Charter

Mandate

The primary function of the audit committee (the “Committee”) is to assist the Board in fulfilling its financial oversight responsibilities by reviewing the financial reports and other financial information provided by the Corporation to regulatory authorities and shareholders, the Corporation’s systems of internal controls regarding finance and accounting and the Corporation’s auditing, accounting and financial reporting processes. Consistent with this function, the Committee will encourage continuous improvement of, and should foster adherence to, the Corporation’s policies, procedures and practices at all levels. The Committee’s primary duties and responsibilities are to:

At least one 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. For the purposes of the Corporation’s Charter, the definition of “financially literate” is 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


  • 20 -

and complexity of the issues that can presumably be expected to be raised by the Corporation’s financial statements.

The members of the Committee shall be elected by the Board at its first meeting following the annual shareholders’ meeting. Unless a Chair is elected by the full Board, the members of the Committee may designate a Chair by a majority vote of the full Committee membership.

Meetings

The Committee shall meet at least twice annually, or more frequently as circumstances dictate. As part of its job to foster open communication, the Committee will meet at least annually with the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Executive Officer and the external auditors.

(iii) Review any related-party transactions.

External Auditors

(i) Review annually, the performance of the external auditors who shall be ultimately accountable to the Board of Directors and the Committee as representatives of the shareholders of the Corporation.

(vii) Review and approve the Corporation’s hiring policies regarding partners, employees and former partners and employees of the present and former external auditors of the Corporation.


  • 21 -

If an Optionee (or: (a) in the case of an Optionee that is not an individual, the person that controls such Optionee; or (b) in the case of an Optionee that is a Consultant Company, all of the individuals who provide services to the Company or its subsidiaries on behalf of such Consultant Company) shall die, any Option held by such Optionee at the date of death shall be exercisable in whole or in part only by the person or persons to whom the rights of the Optionee under the Option shall pass by the will of the Optionee or the laws of descent and distribution for a period ending on the earlier of: (a) one year after the date of death of the Optionee; and (b) the Expiry Time in respect of the Option, and then only to the extent that such Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of death of such Optionee.

4.4.2. Disability of an Optionee. If the Optionee ceases to be an Eligible Person, due to his or her Disability or, in the case of an Optionee that is a company, the Disability of the person who provides management or consulting services to the Company or to any entity controlled by the Company, any Option held by such Optionee at the date of Disability shall be exercisable in whole or in part for a period ending on the earlier of: (a) one year after the date of Disability of the Optionee; and (b) the Expiry Time in respect of the Option, and then only to the extent that such Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of Disability of such Optionee.

4.4.3. Termination For Cause. If the Optionee ceases to be an Eligible Person as a result of "termination for cause" of such Optionee by the Company or its subsidiary (or in the case of an Optionee who is a Management Company Employee or Consultant, by the Optionee's employer), as that term is interpreted by the courts of the jurisdiction in which the Optionee is employed or engaged, any outstanding Option held by such Optionee on the date of such termination, whether in respect of Option Shares that are Vested or not, shall be cancelled as of that date.

4.4.4. Early Retirement, Voluntary Resignation or Termination Other than For Cause. If the Optionee ceases to be an Eligible Person due to his or her retirement at the request of his or her employer earlier than the normal retirement date under the Company's retirement policy then in force, or due to his or her voluntary resignation, or to his or her termination by the Company or its subsidiary other than for cause (or, in the case of an Optionee who is a Management Company Employee or a Consultant, the termination of the company providing management or consultant services to the Company or its subsidiary), any outstanding Option then held by such Optionee shall be exercisable to acquire Vested Unissued Option Shares at any time up to but not after the earlier of: (i) the Expiry Time; and (ii) the date that is ninety (90) days (or thirty (30) days if the Optionee was engaged in Investor Relations Activities) after the Optionee ceases to be an Eligible Person.

4.4.5. Spin-Out Transactions. If pursuant to the operation of Section 5.3(c) an Optionee receives options (the "New Options") to purchase securities of another company (the "New Company") in respect of the Optionee's Options (the "Subject Options"), the New Options shall expire on the earlier of: (i) the Expiry Time of the Subject Options; (ii) if the Optionee does not become an Eligible Person in respect of the New Company, the date that the Subject Options expire pursuant to Section 4.4.1, 4.4.2, 4.4.3, 4.4.4, as applicable; (iii) if the Optionee

becomes an Eligible Person in respect of the New Company, the date that the New Options expire pursuant to the terms of the New Company's stock option plan that correspond to Section 4.4.1, 4.4.2, 4.4.3, 4.4.4 hereof; and (iv) the date that is one (1) year after the Optionee ceases to be an Eligible Person in respect of the New Company or such shorter period as determined by the Board.

4.5. Interpretation

4.5.1. For purposes of Section 4.4, the dates of death, Disability, termination, retirement, voluntary resignation, ceasing to be an Eligible Person and incapacity shall be interpreted to be without regard to any period of notice (statutory or otherwise) or whether the Optionee or his or her estate continues thereafter to receive any compensatory payments from the Company or is paid salary by the Company in lieu of notice of termination.

4.5.2. For greater certainty, an Option that had not become Vested in respect of certain Unissued Option Shares at the time that the relevant event referred to in this Section 4.4 occurred, shall not be or become vested or exercisable in respect of such Unissued Option Shares and shall be cancelled.

4.6. Extension of Expiry Date During Black-Out Period

If the Expiry Date in respect of any Option occurs during a Black-Out Period imposed by the Company, the Expiry Date of the Option shall be automatically extended to the date that is ten (10) trading days following the end of such Black-Out Period (the "Extension Period"); provided that if an additional Black-Out Period is subsequently imposed by the Company during the Extension Period, then such Extension Period shall be deemed to commence following the end of such additional Black-Out Period to enable the exercise of such Options within ten (10) trading days following the end of the last imposed Black-Out Period. The automatic extension of an Option will not be permitted where the Optionee or the Company is subject to a cease trade order (or similar order under applicable securities laws) in respect of the Company's securities.

4.7. Effect of a Take-Over Bid

If a bona fide offer (an "Offer") for Shares is made to the Optionee or to shareholders of the Company generally or to a class of shareholders which includes the Optionee, which Offer, if accepted in whole or in part, would result in the offeror becoming a control person of the Company, within the meaning of subsection 1(1) of the Securities Act, the Company shall, immediately upon receipt of notice of the Offer, notify each Optionee of full particulars of the Offer, whereupon (subject to the approval of the Exchanges) all Option Shares subject to such Option will become Vested and the Option may be exercised in whole or in part by the Optionee so as to permit the Optionee to tender the Option Shares received upon such exercise, pursuant to the Offer. However, if:

(a) the Offer is not completed within the time specified therein; or

(b) all of the Option Shares tendered by the Optionee pursuant to the Offer are not taken up or paid for by the offeror in respect thereof;

then the Option Shares received upon such exercise, or in the case of clause (b) above, the Option Shares that are not taken up and paid for, may be returned by the Optionee to the Company and reinstated as authorized but unissued Shares and with respect to such returned Option Shares, the Option shall be reinstated as if it had not been exercised and the terms upon which such Option Shares were to become Vested pursuant to Section 4.3 shall be reinstated. If any Option Shares are returned to the Company under


  • 8 -

this Section 4.7, the Company shall immediately refund the exercise price to the Optionee for such Option Shares.

4.8. Acceleration of Expiry Date

If at any time when an Option granted under the Plan remains unexercised with respect to any Unissued Option Shares, an Offer is made by an offeror, the Board may, upon notifying each Optionee of full particulars of the Offer, declare all Option Shares issuable upon the exercise of Options granted under the Plan, Vested, and declare that the Expiry Date for the exercise of all unexercised Options granted under the Plan is accelerated so that all Options will either be exercised or will expire prior to the date upon which Shares must be tendered pursuant to the Offer, provided that any accelerated vesting of Options granted to Eligible Persons performing Investor Relations Activities shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Exchanges. The Board shall give each Optionee as much notice as possible of the acceleration of the Options under this Section, except that not less than five (5) business days and not more than thirty-five (35) days’ notice is required.

4.9. Compulsory Acquisition or Going Private Transaction

If and whenever, following a take-over bid or issuer bid, there shall be a compulsory acquisition of the Shares of the Company pursuant to Division 6 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) or any successor or similar legislation, or any amalgamation, merger or arrangement in which securities acquired in a formal take-over bid may be voted under the conditions described in Section 8.2 of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions, then following the date upon which such compulsory acquisition, amalgamation, merger or arrangement is effective, an Optionee shall be entitled to receive, and shall accept, for the same exercise price, in lieu of the number of Shares to which such Optionee was theretofore entitled to purchase upon the exercise of his or her Options, the aggregate amount of cash, shares, other securities or other property which such Optionee would have been entitled to receive as a result of such bid if he or she had tendered such number of Shares to the take-over bid.

4.10. Effect of a Change of Control

With the exception of Options granted to an Optionee who undertakes Investor Relations Activities, if a Change of Control occurs, all Option Shares subject to each outstanding Option will become Vested, whereupon such Option may be exercised in whole or in part by the Optionee, subject to the approval of the Exchanges, if necessary. Earlier vesting of Options granted to Optionees who undertake Investor Relations Activities will be subject to the prior written approval of the Exchanges.

4.11. Exclusion From Severance Allowance, Retirement Allowance or Termination Settlement

If the Optionee retires, resigns or is terminated from employment or engagement with the Company or any subsidiary of the Company (including, in the case of a Management Company Employee or Consultant, termination of the company providing such management or consulting services to the Company or its subsidiary), the loss or limitation, if any, pursuant to the Option Agreement with respect to the right to purchase Option Shares which were not Vested at that time or which, if Vested, were cancelled, shall not give rise to any right to damages and shall not be included in the calculation of nor form any part of any severance allowance, retiring allowance or termination settlement of any kind whatsoever in respect of such Optionee.

4.12. Shares Not Acquired

Any Unissued Option Shares not acquired by an Optionee under an Option which has been settled in cash,


cancelled, terminated, surrendered, forfeited or expired, may be made the subject of a further Option pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.

5. ADJUSTMENT OF OPTION PRICE AND NUMBER OF OPTION SHARES

5.1. Share Reorganization

Subject to the prior approval of the Exchanges as required, whenever the Company issues Shares to all or substantially all holders of Shares by way of a stock dividend or other distribution, or subdivides all outstanding Shares into a greater number of Shares, or combines or consolidates all outstanding Shares into a lesser number of Shares (each of such events being herein called a "Share Reorganization") then effective immediately after the record date for such dividend or other distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or consolidation, for each Option:

(a) the Option Price will be adjusted to a price per Share which is the product of:

(i) the Option Price in effect immediately before that effective date or record date; and
