November 3, 2025

Dear Shareholder:

On behalf of the board of directors (the "Board") of Red Metal Resources Ltd. (the "Company"), we are notifying you of our Annual meeting (the "Meeting") of shareholders ("Shareholders") holding common shares of the Company to be held at the offices of the Company at 278 Bay Street, Suite 102, Thunder Bay, Ontario, on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time), or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Accordingly, we strongly urge all Shareholders to cast their votes by submitting their completed form of proxy or voting instruction form by one of the means described in the Information Circular as an alternative to attending the Meeting in person. We feel this is the most prudent step to take in the current environment.

Our public documents are available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. We encourage you to visit our profile on SEDAR+ for information about the Company, including news releases and other continuous disclosure documents.

INFORMATION CIRCULAR
November 3, 2025

INTRODUCTION

This Information Circular accompanies the Notice of Annual General Meeting (the "Notice") and is furnished to shareholders holding common shares in the capital of Red Metal Resources Ltd. (the "Company") in connection with the solicitation by the management of the Company of proxies to be voted at the Annual General Meeting (the "Meeting") of the shareholders to be held at 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, at 278 Bay Street, Suite 102, Thunder Bay, ON P7B 1R8 or at any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Please be advised that, as a result of past COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to mitigate potential risks to the health and safety of our shareholders, therefore we encourage our shareholders to vote their shares by submitting their voting instructions online, or by completing, dating and signing the proxy card they received and returning it promptly (following the instructions on the proxy card and below).

PROXIES AND VOTING RIGHTS

Management Solicitation

The solicitation of proxies by the Company will be conducted by mail and may be supplemented by internet or other personal contact to be made without special compensation by the directors, officers and employees of the Company. The form of proxy accompanying this Information Circular is being solicited by management of the Company. The Company does not reimburse shareholders, nominees or agents for costs incurred in obtaining from their principals authorization to execute forms of proxy, except that the Company has requested brokers and nominees who hold stock in their respective names to furnish the Meeting Material to their customers if paper copies of the Meeting Materials are requested, and the Company will reimburse such brokers and nominees for their related out of pocket expenses. No solicitation will be made by specially engaged employees or soliciting agents. The cost of solicitation will be borne by the Company.

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

Appointment of Proxy

Though registered shareholders are entitled to vote at the Meeting, we strongly discourage in-person attendance at the Meeting. A shareholder is entitled to one vote for each common share that such shareholder holds on the record date of October 29, 2025 (the "Record Date") on the resolutions to be voted upon at the Meeting, and any other matter to come before the Meeting.

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

-1-


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

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

In order to be voted, the completed form of proxy must be received by the Company's registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. (the "Transfer Agent") in accordance with the instructions provided in the form of proxy at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays recognized in the Province of Ontario) prior to the scheduled time of the Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Alternatively, the completed form of proxy may be delivered to the Chairman of the Meeting on the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

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

Revocation of Proxies

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

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

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

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


IF NO CHOICE IS SPECIFIED IN THE PROXY WITH RESPECT TO A MATTER TO BE ACTED UPON, THE PROXY CONFERS DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY WITH RESPECT TO THAT MATTER UPON THE DESIGNATED PERSONS NAMED IN THE FORM OF PROXY. IT IS INTENDED THAT THE DESIGNATED PERSONS WILL VOTE THE COMMON SHARES REPRESENTED BY THE PROXY IN FAVOUR OF EACH MATTER IDENTIFIED IN THE PROXY AND FOR THE NOMINEES OF THE COMPANY'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR DIRECTORS AND THE AUDITOR AND THEIR REMUNERATION.

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

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

NOTICE TO BENEFICIAL SHAREHOLDERS

The information set out in this section is of significant importance to those shareholders who do not hold shares in their own name. Shareholders who do not hold their shares in their own name (referred to in this Information Circular as "Beneficial Shareholders") should note that only proxies 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 names of the shareholder's broker or an agent of that broker. In the United States, the vast majority of such common shares are registered under the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for The Depository Trust Company (which acts as depositary for many U.S. brokerage firms and custodian banks), and in Canada, under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Beneficial Shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their common shares are communicated to the appropriate person well in advance of the Meeting.

The Company does not have access to names of Beneficial Shareholders. Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholders' meetings. Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their common shares are voted at the Meeting. The form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker (or the agent of the broker) is similar to the Form of Proxy provided to registered shareholders by the Company. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered shareholder (the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge") in the United States and in Canada. Broadridge typically prepares a special voting instruction form, mails this form to the Beneficial Shareholders and asks for appropriate instructions regarding the voting of common shares to be voted at the Meeting. Beneficial Shareholders are requested to complete and return the voting instructions to Broadridge by mail or facsimile. Alternatively, Beneficial Shareholders can call a toll-free number and access Broadridge's dedicated voting website (each as noted on the voting instruction form) to deliver their voting instructions and to vote the common shares held by them. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder receiving a Broadridge voting instruction form cannot use that form as a proxy to vote common shares directly at the Meeting - the voting instruction form must be returned to Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have its common shares voted at the Meeting.

-3-


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

Alternatively, a Beneficial Shareholder may request in writing that his or her broker send to the Beneficial Shareholder a legal proxy which would enable the Beneficial Shareholder to attend at the Meeting and vote his or her common shares. Management of the Company does not intend to pay for intermediaries to forward to those who object to their name being made known to the issuers of securities which they own (called “OBOs” for Objecting Beneficial Owners) under National Instrument 54-101 — Communications with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer of the Canadian Securities Administrators the Meeting materials, and that in the case of an OBO, the OBO will not receive the Meeting materials unless the OBO’s intermediary assumes the cost of delivery.

All references to shareholders in this Information Circular are to registered shareholders, unless specifically stated otherwise.

DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE

The following documents filed with the British Columbia Securities Commission and Ontario Securities Commission, are specifically incorporated by reference into, and form an integral part of, this Information Circular: audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2025, report of the auditor thereon and related management discussion and analysis. Copies of documents incorporated herein by reference may be obtained by a shareholder upon request without charge from the Company. These documents are also available through the internet on SEDAR+, which can be accessed at www.sedarplus.ca.

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

Except as disclosed elsewhere in this Information Circular, no director or executive officer of the Company who was a director or executive officer since the beginning of the Company’s last financial year, each proposed nominee for election as a director of the Company, or any associates or affiliates of any such directors, executive officers or nominees, has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of common shares or other securities in the Company or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting other than the election of directors, the appointment of auditors and approval of the Company’s Stock Option Plan.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares without par value. As of the Record Date, determined by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) to be the close of business on October 29, 2025, a total of 40,035,726 common shares were issued and outstanding. Each common share carries the right to one vote at the Meeting.

Only registered shareholders as of the Record Date are entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at, the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting.

To the knowledge of the directors or executive officers of the Company, no person or company beneficially owns, or controls or directs, directly or indirectly, common shares carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to the outstanding common shares of the Company.

Form 51-102F6 provides that compensation disclosure must be provided for the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of an issuer and each of the three most highly compensated executive officers whose total compensation exceeds $150,000. Based on those requirements, the executive officers of the Company for whom disclosure is required under Form 51-102F6 are Ms. Caitlin Jeffs (Chief Executive Officer, President and director), and Mr. Joao (John) Da Costa (Chief Financial Officer), who are collectively referred to as the "Named Executive Officers".

For the purpose of this Statement of Executive Compensation:

(c) the most highly compensated executive officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (if any) other than individuals identified in paragraphs (a) and (b) at the end of the most recently completed financial year whose total compensation was more than $150,000 for that financial year, and
(d) each individual who would be an NEO under paragraph (c) but for the fact that the individual was neither an executive officer of the Company or its subsidiaries, nor acting in a similar capacity, at the end of that financial year;

"plan" includes any plan, contract, authorization or arrangement, whether or not set out in any formal document, where cash, compensation securities or any other property may be received, whether for one or more persons; and

"underlying securities" means any securities issuable on conversion, exchange or exercise of compensation securities.

Other than the reverse stock split, no compensation security had been re-priced, cancelled and replaced, had its term extended, or otherwise been materially modified, in the Company's financial year ended January 31, 2025.


There are no restrictions or conditions for converting, exercising or exchanging the compensation securities disclosed in the above table, other than remaining an eligible consultant, executive officer or director pursuant to the terms of the Option Plan as hereinafter defined.

During the financial year ended January 31, 2025, none of the Company's NEO and directors exercised their compensation securities.

Stock Option Plans and Other Incentive Plans

The Company's stock option plan ("Option Plan") provides that the Board may, from time to time, in its discretion, grant to directors, officers, employees, consultants and other personnel of the Company and its subsidiaries or affiliates, options to purchase Shares. The Option Plan is a "rolling" stock option plan, whereby the aggregate number of Shares reserved for issuance, together with any other Shares reserved for issuance under any other plan or agreement of the Company, shall not exceed ten (10%) percent of the total number of issued Shares (calculated on a non-diluted basis) at the time an option is granted. See disclosure under the heading "Approval of Stock Option Plan". Management proposes share option grants to members of the Board based on such criteria as performance, previous grants, and hiring incentives.

Employment, Consulting and Management Agreements

Management functions of the Company are not, to any substantial degree, performed other than by directors or NEOs of the Company. There are no agreements or arrangements that provide for compensation to NEOs or directors of the Company, or that provide for payments to a NEO or director at, following, or in connection with any termination (whether voluntary, involuntary or constructive), resignation, retirement, severance, a change of control in the Company or a change in the NEO or director's responsibilities.

Oversight and Description of Director and NEO Compensation

The Board has not created or appointed a compensation committee given the Company's current size and stage of development.

All tasks related to developing and monitoring the Company's approach to the compensation of its NEOs and directors are performed by the members of the Board. The compensation of the NEOs, directors and the Company's employees or consultants is reviewed, recommended and approved by the Board without reference to any specific formula or criteria. NEOs that are also directors of the Company are involved in discussion relating to compensation, and disclose their interest in and abstain from voting on compensation decisions relating to them, as applicable, in accordance with the applicable corporate legislation.

The Company's compensation program is intended to attract, motivate, reward and retain the management talent needed to achieve the Company's business objectives of improving overall corporate performance and creating long-term value for the shareholders. The compensation program is intended to reward executive officers on the basis of individual performance and achievement of corporate objectives, including the advancement of the exploration and development goals of the Company.

The Company's current compensation program is comprised of three major components: base salary or fees, short term incentives such as discretionary bonuses and long term incentives such as stock options.

In making compensation decisions, the Board strives to find a balance between short-term and long-term compensation and cash versus equity incentive compensation. Base salaries or fees and discretionary cash bonuses primarily reward recent performance and incentive stock options encourage NEOs and directors to continue to deliver results over a longer period of time and serve as a retention tool. The annual salary or fee for each NEO, as applicable, is determined by the Board based on the level of responsibility and experience of the individual, the

-11-


relative importance of the position to the Company, the professional qualifications of the individual and the performance of the individual over time. The NEOs' performances and salaries or fees are to be reviewed periodically. Increases in salary or fees are to be evaluated on an individual basis and are performance and market-based. The amount and award of cash bonuses to key executives and senior management is discretionary, depending on, among other factors, the financial performance of the Company and the position of a participant.

Pension Benefits

The Company does not have a pension benefit arrangement under which the Company have made payments to the directors and or NEOs of the Company during its fiscal years ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, or intends to make payments to the Company's directors or NEOs upon their retirement (other than the payments set out above and those made, if any, pursuant to the Canada Pension Plan or any government plan similar to it).

APPROVAL OF STOCK OPTION PLAN

The Company's stock option plan was approved by the Board on July 13, 2021, and by the Shareholders on December 3, 2024 (the "Option Plan"), enabling the Board to grant stock options to purchase Common Shares (the "Options") from time to time to eligible persons. The purpose of the Option Plan is to attract and retain directors, officers, employees and consultants and to motivate them to advance the interests of the Company by affording them with the opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Company through options granted under the Stock Option Plan to purchase shares.

The Board is of the view that the Option Plan provides the Company with the flexibility to attract and maintain the services of executives, employees and other service providers in competition with other companies in the industry.

The Option Plan permits the granting of Options to directors, officers, employees of, and consultants to, the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates ("Eligible Persons"). The purpose of the Option Plan is to attract and retain Eligible Persons and motivate them to advance the interests of the Company by affording them with the opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Company through Options granted under the Option Plan. Unless authorized by the shareholders of the Company, the Option Plan limits the total number of Common Shares that may be reserved for issuance on the exercise of Options outstanding under the Option Plan, together with all of the Company's other previously established or proposed Options, Option plans, employee stock purchase plans or any other compensation or incentive mechanisms involving the issuance or potential issuance of Common Shares, to a number not exceeding 10% of the number of Common Shares outstanding from time to time, subject to the following additional limitations:

  1. no one person may be granted Options to purchase a number of Common Shares equaling more than 5% of the issued Common Shares of the Company in any 12 month period;
  2. Options shall not be granted if the exercise thereof would result in the issuance of more than 2% of the issued Common Shares in any 12 month period to any one consultant of the Company (or any of its subsidiaries); and
  3. Options shall not be granted if the exercise thereof would result in the issuance of more than 2% of the issued Common Shares in any 12 month period to persons employed to provide investor relations activities.

In the event that the Option Plan is approved by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company, pursuant to section 2.25 of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus and Registration Exemptions, the Board may grant options to Optionees exceeding the limits set out in sections 4.3, 4.4 and 4.4 of the Option Plan subject to compliance with applicable securities laws and exchange policies. The Option Plan provides that the


exercise price of Options is fixed by the Board of Directors at the time that the Option is granted, provided that such price is not less than the closing price of the common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") on the day preceding the date of grant. Also, the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine the time during which Options will vest and the method of vesting, or impose no vesting restrictions.

The maximum length of any Option is ten (10) years from the date the Option is granted. Except as otherwise determined by the Board, a participant's options will expire ninety (90) days after a participant ceases to act for the Company, other than by reason of death. Options of a participant that provides investor relations activities will expire 30 days after the cessation of the participant's services to the Company. In the event of the death of a participant, the participant's heirs or administrators may exercise any Option granted to the Optionee to the extent such Option was exercisable and had bested on the date of death until the earlier of the expiry date and one (1) year after the date of death of such Optionee.

The decision to grant Options is made by the Board as a whole, and a grant is approved by directors' resolutions or at a meeting of the directors. The foregoing summary is subject to and qualified by the provisions of the Option Plan available for review in Schedule "B" to this Information Circular.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to pass the following ordinary resolution to approve the adoption of the Option Plan (the "Option Plan Resolution"), substantially in the following form:

"IT IS RESOLVED THAT:

  1. the Option Plan, in substantially the form attached as Schedule "B" to this Information Circular, with such additions and deletions as may be approved by the Directors of the Company or as may be required by any regulatory authority, is hereby adopted as the stock option plan of the Company effective immediately; and
  2. the Directors of the Company are authorized to perform all such other acts and things as may be necessary or desirable to effect the adoption of the Option Plan; and that the Directors of the Company are 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 Option Plan Resolution. If the Option Plan Resolution is approved by Shareholders, the Directors will have the authority, in their sole discretion, to implement or revoke the Option Plan Resolution and otherwise implement or abandon the Option Plan.

In order for the resolution to be effective, it must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in respect thereof by Shareholders present in person or by proxy at the Meeting.

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

Board of Directors

The Board of the Company facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over the Company's management through frequent meetings of the Board.

Directors are considered to be independent if they have no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. A "material relationship" is a relationship which could, in the view of the Company's Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director's independent judgment. The independent directors are given full access to management so that they can develop an independent perspective and express their views and communicate their expectations of management.

Caitlin Jeffs, upon election, will not be considered independent by virtue of her being President, and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Michael Thompson, upon election, will not be considered independent by virtue of his being Vice President of Exploration, and Brian Gusko, upon election, will not be considered independent by virtue of his being Vice President of Finance.

If a new director was appointed or elected, however, he or she would be provided with orientation and education about the Company which would include information about the duties and obligations of directors, the business and operations of the Company, documents from recent board meetings and opportunities for meetings and discussion with senior management and other directors. Specific details of the orientation of each new director would be tailored to that director's individual needs and areas of interest.

The Company does provide continuing education opportunities to directors so that they may maintain or enhance their skills and abilities as directors and ensure that their knowledge and understanding of the Company's business remains current.


-19-

Ethical Business Conduct

  2. The promotion of honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest.
  3. The promotion of avoidance or absence of conflicts of interest.

  7. Helping foster a culture of integrity, honesty and accountability throughout the Company.

Between annual meetings of shareholders, the Board may fill casual vacancies on the Board and, subject to the Company's Articles, increase the size of the Board and elect directors to fill the resulting vacancies until the next annual meeting of shareholders.

The Board as a whole is responsible for identifying and evaluating qualified candidates for nomination to the Board. In identifying candidates, the Board considers the competencies and skills that the Board considers to be necessary for the Board, as a whole, to possess, the competencies and skills that the Board considers each existing director to possess, the competencies and skills each new nominee will bring to the Board and the ability of each new nominee to devote sufficient time and resources to his or her duties as a director.

Compensation

The Board as a whole is responsible for reviewing the adequacy and form of compensation paid to the Company's executives and key employees, and ensuring that such compensation realistically reflects the responsibilities and risks of such positions.

SCHEDULE "A"

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

The following Audit Committee Charter was adopted by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors of Red Metal Resources Ltd. (the "Company"):

Mandate

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

  • serve as an independent and objective party to monitor the Company's financial reporting and internal control system and review the Company's financial statements;
  • review and appraise the performance of the Company's external auditors; and
  • provide an open avenue of communication among the Company's auditors, financial and senior management and the Board of Directors.

Composition

The Committee shall be comprised of a minimum of three directors as determined by the Board of Directors. If the Company ceases to be a "venture issuer" (as that term is defined in NI 52-110), then all of the members of the Committee shall be free from any relationship that, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of his or her independent judgment as a member of the Committee.

If the Company ceases to be a "venture issuer" (as that term is defined in NI 52-110), then all members 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 Company's Audit Committee 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 and complexity of the issues that can presumably be expected to be raised by the Company's financial statements.

The members of the Committee shall be elected by the Board of Directors at its first meeting following the annual shareholders' meeting. Unless a Chair is elected by the full Board of Directors, 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 and the external auditors in separate sessions.

Responsibilities and Duties

(h) review and approve the Company's hiring policies regarding partners, employees and former partners and employees of the present and former external auditors of the Company;

(j) review and pre-approve all audit and audit-related services and the fees and other compensation related thereto, and any non-audit services, provided by the Company's external auditors. The pre-approval requirement is waived with respect to the provision of non-audit services if:

5.2 Manner of Exercise. An Optionee who wishes to exercise his Option, in its entirety or any portion thereof, may do so by delivering:

(a) a Notice of Exercise to the Company specifying the number of Optioned Shares being acquired pursuant to the Option; and

(b) cash, a certified cheque or a bank draft payable to the Company for the aggregate Exercise Price for the Optioned Shares being acquired.

5.3 Subsequent Exercises. If an Optionee exercises only a portion of the total number of his Options, then the Optionee may, from time to time, subsequently exercise all or part of the remaining Options until the Expiry Date.

5.4 Delivery of Certificate and Hold Periods. As soon as practicable after receipt of the Notice of Exercise described in subsection 5.2 and payment in full for the Optioned Shares being acquired, the Company will or will direct its transfer agent to issue a certificate to the Optionee for the appropriate number of Optioned Shares. Such certificate issued will bear a legend stipulating any resale restrictions required under applicable securities laws and Exchange Policies.

6. SECURITIES LAWS AND EXCHANGE POLICIES

6.1 This Plan and the granting and exercise of any Options hereunder are also subject to such other terms and conditions as are set out from time to time in applicable Securities Laws and Exchange Policies and such terms and conditions shall be deemed to be incorporated into and become a part of this Plan. In the event of an inconsistency between such terms and conditions and this Plan, such terms and conditions shall govern. In the event that the Shares are listed on a new stock exchange, in addition to the terms and


8-11

conditions set out from time to time in applicable Securities Laws, the granting or cancellation of Options shall be governed by the terms and conditions set out from time to time in the policies, bylaws, rules and regulations of the new stock exchange and unless inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, the Company shall be able to grant or cancel options pursuant to the policies, bylaws, rules and regulations of such new stock exchange without requiring shareholder approval. In the event that the Plan is approved by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company, pursuant to section 2.25 of National Instrument 45-106, the Board may grant a number of options that exceeds the limits set out in section 3.6 of the Plan subject to compliance with applicable Securities Laws, Regulatory Rules, and Exchange Policies.

7. AMENDMENT

7.1 Shareholder Approval of Plan. If required by a Regulatory Authority or by the Board, this Plan may be made subject to the approval of a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company or by a majority of votes cast by disinterested shareholders at a meeting of shareholders of the Company. Any such options granted under this Plan will not be exercisable or binding on the Company unless and until such shareholder approval is obtained.

7.2 Amendment of the Plan. The Board reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to at any time amend, modify or terminate the Plan with respect to all Common Shares in respect of Options which have not yet been granted hereunder. Any amendment to any provision of the Plan will be subject to shareholder approval, if required under Applicable Securities Laws and/or Exchange Policies, and any necessary Regulatory Approvals. If this Plan is suspended or terminated, the provisions of this Plan and any administrative guidelines, rules and regulations relating to this Plan shall continue in effect for the duration of such time as any Option remains outstanding.

7.3 Amendment of Outstanding Options. The Board may amend the terms of any Option previously granted by the Company with the consent of the affected Optionee subject to compliance with Applicable Securities Laws and the Exchange on which the Company's Common Shares are listed, if required, including any shareholder approval required by such Exchange. For greater certainty, Disinterested Shareholder Approval is required by the Exchange for any reduction in the exercise price of an Option if the Participant is an Insider at the time of the proposed amendment.

7.4 Amendment Subject to Approval. If the amendment of an Option requires shareholder or Regulatory Approval, such amendment may be made prior to such approvals being given, but no such amended Options may be exercised unless and until such approvals are given.

8. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

8.1 The Company is authorized, in its sole discretion, to provide financial assistance to Optionees to purchase Optioned Shares under this Plan, subject to applicable laws and the rules and policies of any securities regulatory authority, stock exchange or quotation system with jurisdiction over the Company or a trade in securities of the Company. Any financial assistance so provided will be repayable with full recourse and the term of any such financing shall not exceed the term of the Option to which the financing applies.

9. GENERAL

9.1 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, the loss or limitation, if any, pursuant to the Option Agreement with respect to the right to purchase Optioned Shares, 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.

9.2 Employment and Services. Nothing contained in the Plan will confer upon or imply in favour of any Optionee any right with respect to office, employment or provision of services with the Company, or interfere in any way with the right of the Company to lawfully terminate the Optionee's office, employment or service at any time pursuant to the arrangements pertaining to same. Participation in the Plan by an Optionee is voluntary.

9.3 No Rights as Shareholder. Nothing contained in this Plan nor in any Option granted thereunder shall be deemed to give any Optionee any interest or title in or to any Common Shares of the Company or any rights as a shareholder of the Company or any other legal or equitable right against the Company whatsoever other than as set forth in this Plan and pursuant to the exercise of any Option in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the Option Agreement.

9.4 Withholding. The Company may withhold from any amount payable to an Optionee, either under this Plan or otherwise, such amount as it reasonably believes is necessary to enable the Company to comply with the applicable requirements of any federal, provincial, local or foreign law, or any administrative policy of any applicable tax authority, relating to the withholding of tax or any other required deductions with respect to options ("Withholding Obligations"). The Company may also satisfy any liability for any such Withholding Obligations, on such terms and conditions as the Company may determine in its discretion, by:

(a) requiring an Optionee, as a condition to the exercise of any Options, to make such arrangements as the Company may require so that the Company can satisfy such Withholding Obligations including, without limitation, requiring the Optionee to remit to the Company in advance, or reimburse the Company for, any such Withholding Obligations; or

Compliance with applicable securities laws as to the disclosure and resale obligations of each Optionee is the responsibility of such Optionee and not the Company.

9.6 Other Arrangements. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to any required approval.

9.7 No Fettering of Discretion. The awarding of Options under this Plan is a matter to be determined solely in the discretion of the Board. This Plan shall not in any way fetter, limit, obligate, restrict or constrain the Board with regard to the allotment or issue of any Common Shares or any other securities in the capital of the Company or any of its Affiliates other than as specifically provided for in this Plan.
