Your name, address and information about your security holdings have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulations from the intermediary holding them on your behalf (which is identified by name, code or identifier in the information on the top right corner on the reverse). The Voting Instruction Form (‘‘VIF’’) is to enable your vote to be submitted on the stated matters. Please complete, sign, date and return the VIF. Unless you appoint yourself or a delegate to attend the Meeting and vote, your securities can be voted only by Management Nominees in accordance with your instructions.

We are prohibited from voting these securities on any of the matters to be acted upon at the Meeting without your specific voting instructions.

The completed VIF should be delivered to TSX Trust Company, in the envelope provided or by fax to 416-595-9593. Alternatively, if available, you may vote online at www.voteproxyonline.com. The matters to be voted on at the Meeting are set out on the reverse.

If you appoint someone else to vote your securities, they will also vote in accordance with your instructions or, if no instructions are given, as they in their discretion choose.

If you want to attend the Meeting and vote in person at the Meeting or appoint another person to do so, write your name or the name of the person attending the Meeting in the space labeled “ Please print appointee name ” on the VIF and return it. Unless prohibited by law, the person whose name is written in the space provided will have full authority to present matters to the Meeting and vote on all matters that are presented at the Meeting, even if those matters are not set out in this form or the information circular. Consult a legal advisor if you wish to modify the authority of that person in any way. When you or your Appointee arrives at the Meeting, they should give their name to the scrutineers and state that they are a proxy appointee. The Appointee must attend the Meeting in order for your securities to be voted.

Notice-and-Access

The Canadian securities regulators have adopted rules which permit the use of notice-and-access for proxy solicitation instead of the traditional physical delivery of material. This new process provides the option to post meeting related materials including management information circulars as well as annual financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis, on a website in addition to SEDAR. Under notice-and-access, meeting related materials will be available for viewing for up to 1 year from the date of posting and a paper copy of the material can be requested at any time during this period.

Disclosure regarding each matter or group of matters to be voted on is in the Information Circular in the Section with the same title as each Resolution on the reverse. You should review the Information Circular before voting.

Portofino Resources Inc. has elected to utilize notice-and-access and provide you with the following information:

Meeting materials are available electronically at www.sedar.com and also at www.portofinoresources.com/corporate/agm

  1. The appointment of the Management Nominees or another Appointee gives them discretion to vote on any other matters that may properly come before the Meeting.

  2. If internet voting is available, you can provide your voting instructions on the website noted on the reverse.

  3. To be valid, this VIF must be signed. Please date the VIF. If the VIF is not dated, it is deemed to bear the date of mailing to the security holders of the Company.
