MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

As at October 29, 2024

(except as otherwise indicated)

SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION

This management information circular (the “ Information Circular ”) accompanies the notice of annual general meeting (the “ Notice ”) and is furnished to shareholders (the “ Shareholders ”) holding common shares without par value (the “ Shares ”) in the capital of Rusoro Mining 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 10:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) , on Tuesday, December 17, 2024, at Suite 3123 – 595 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V7X 1J1, Canada , or at any adjournment thereof.

SECTION 2 – PROXIES AND VOTING RIGHTS

MANAGEMENT SOLICITATION

The solicitation of proxies by management of the Company will be conducted by mail and may be supplemented by telephone or other personal contact to be made without special compensation by the directors, officers and employees of the Company. 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 this proxy material to their customers, and the Company will reimburse such brokers and nominees for their related out-of-pocket expenses. No solicitation will be made by specifically engaged employees or soliciting agents. The cost of solicitation will be borne by 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 representation must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the Company. The 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

Registered Shareholders are entitled to vote at the Meeting. A Shareholder is entitled to one vote for each Share that such Shareholder holds on the record date of October 29, 2024 (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 “ Management Nominees ”) in the enclosed form of proxy are directors, officers and/or consultants of the Company.

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

TO EXERCISE THIS 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., 100 University Avenue, 8[th] Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, Attention: Proxy Department, by mail, fax, telephone voting system or via the Internet at least two business days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) prior to the scheduled time of the Meeting, or any adjournment(s) 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 certified 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 to: (i) Computershare Investor Services Inc., 100 University Avenue, 8[th] Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, Attention: Proxy Department, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting or, if adjourned, any reconvening thereof, or (ii) the Chair 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 SHARES AND PROXIES AND EXERCISE OF DISCRETION BY MANAGEMENT NOMINEES

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

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

The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the 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 Shares on any matter, the Shares that are the subject of the abstention or withholding will be counted for determination of a quorum, but will not be counted as affirmative or negative on the matter to be voted upon.

ADVICE TO BENEFICIAL SHAREHOLDERS

Only registered Shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most Shareholders are “non-registered” Shareholders because the Shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the name of the brokerage firm, bank or trust company through which Shares were purchased. More particularly, a person is not a registered Shareholder in respect of Shares which are held on behalf of that person (the “ Non-Registered Holder ”) but which are registered either: (a) in the name of an intermediary (an “ Intermediary ”) that the Non-Registered Holder deals with in respect of the Shares (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators or self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS Clearing and Depositary Services Inc. or CDS & Co.) of which the Intermediary is a participant. In accordance with the requirements set out in National Instrument 54101 Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (“ NI 54-101 ”), the Company has distributed copies of the Notice, this Information Circular, the form of proxy, and financial statements request form (collectively, the “ Meeting Materials ”) to the clearing agencies and Intermediaries for onward distribution to NonRegistered Holders.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders unless a Non-Registered Holder has waived the right to receive them. Very often, Intermediaries will use service companies to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders. Generally, Non-Registered Holders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials will either:

(a) be given a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number of Shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Holder but which is otherwise not completed. Because the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the Non-Registered Holder when submitting the proxy. In this case, the Non-Registered Holder who wishes to submit a proxy should otherwise properly complete the form of proxy and deposit it with the Transfer Agent as provided above; or
(b) more typically, be given a voting instruction form which is not signed by the Intermediary, and which, when properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Holder and returned to the Intermediary or its service company, will constitute voting instructions (often called a “ proxy authorization form ”) which the Intermediary must follow. Typically, the proxy authorization form will consist of a one-page pre-printed form. Sometimes, instead of a one-page pre-printed form, the proxy authorization will consist of a regular printed proxy form accompanied by a page of instructions, which contains a removable label containing a bar-code and other information. In order for the form of proxy to validly constitute a proxy authorization form, the Non-Registered Holder must remove the label from the instructions and affix it to the form of proxy, properly complete and sign the form of proxy and return it to the Intermediary or its service company in accordance with the instructions of the Intermediary or its service company.

In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit a Non-Registered Holder to direct the voting of Shares which they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Holder who receives one of the above forms wish to vote at the Meeting in person, the Non-Registered Holder should strike out the names of the Management Nominees named in the form and insert the Non-Registered Holder’s name in the blank space provided. In either case, Non-Registered Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when and where the proxy or proxy authorization form is to be delivered.

There are two types of beneficial owners: (i) those who object to their identity being made known to the issuers of securities which they own (“ Objecting Beneficial Owners ” or “ OBOs ”), and (ii) those who do not object to their identity being made known to the issuers of securities which they own (“ Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners ” or “ NOBOs ”). Subject to the provisions of NI 54-101, issuers may deliver proxy-related materials directly to NOBOs.

The Company is sending these Meeting Materials directly to registered Shareholders and NOBOs. If you are a NOBO, and the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of shares have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary holding shares on your behalf.

NOTICE-AND-ACCESS

The Company is not relying on the “Notice and Access” delivery procedures outlined in NI 54-101 to distribute copies of proxy-related materials in connection with the Meeting by posting them on a non-SEDAR (SEDAR – System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval) website.

NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS IN THE UNITED STATES

The solicitation of proxies involves securities of an issuer located in Canada and is being effected in accordance with the corporate laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, and securities laws of the provinces of Canada. The proxy solicitation rules under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 , as amended, are not applicable to the Company or this solicitation, and this solicitation has been prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of the securities laws of the provinces of Canada. Shareholders should be aware that disclosure requirements under the securities laws of the provinces of Canada differ from the disclosure requirements under United States securities laws.

At the Company’s 2013 annual general meeting, the Company’s Shareholders voted to adopt amendments to the Company's Articles to include advance notice provisions (the “ Advance Notice Provisions ”). The Advance Notice Provisions include, among other things, a provision that requires advance notice be given to the Company in circumstances where nomination of persons for election to the Board are made by Shareholders of the Company. The Advance Notice Provisions set a deadline by which Shareholders must submit nominations (a “ Notice ”) for the election of directors to the Company prior to any annual or special meeting of Shareholders. The Advance Notice Provisions also set forth the information that a Shareholder must include in the Notice to the Company, and establish the form in which the Shareholder must submit the Notice for that notice to be in proper written form.

In the case of an annual meeting of Shareholders, a Notice must be provided to the Company not less than 30 days and not more than 65 days prior to the date of the annual meeting.

STOCK OPTION PLANS AND OTHER INCENTIVE PLANS

The Company’s stock option plan (the “ Option Plan ”) is the only equity compensation plan the Company currently has in place. The Option Plan was established to provide the Company with a share-related mechanism to advance the interests of the Company through the motivation, attraction and retention of key employees, consultants and directors of the Company and designated affiliates of the Company and to secure for the Company and Shareholders the benefits inherent in the ownership of Common Shares by key employees, consultants and directors of the Company and designated affiliates of the Company through the granting of non-transferable stock options (" Options ") to eligible participants under the Option Plan. The Option Plan is administered by a compensation committee of the Board (the " Compensation Committee ") authorized to carry out such administration or, failing a committee being so designated, by the Board.

Subject to the provisions of the Option Plan, the Compensation Committee has the authority to select those persons to whom Options are granted. Eligible participants under the Option Plan include the directors, officers and employees (including both full-time and part-time employees) of the Company or of any designated affiliate of the Company and any person or corporation engaged to provide ongoing management, advisory or consulting services for the Company or a designated affiliate of the Company or any employee of such person or corporation.

The Option Plan provides that the Board may, from time to time, in its discretion, grant to directors, officers, consultants, and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries or affiliates, options to purchase common shares in the capital of the Company. The Option Plan is a “rolling” stock option plan, whereby the aggregate number of common shares

reserved for issuance, together with any other common 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 common shares (calculated on a nondiluted basis) at the time an option is granted.

The Option Plan was last ratified by Shareholders on December 12, 2023, and subsequently by the TSX Venture Exchange (the “ Exchange ”). Under the policies of the Exchange, a rolling stock option plan must be re-approved on a yearly basis by the Shareholders and the Exchange.

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Option Plan:

the aggregate number of common shares that may be issued pursuant to options granted under the Option Plan, unless otherwise approved by shareholders, may not exceed that number which is equal to 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company at the time of the grant;
subject to a minimum exercise price of $0.05 per Option Share, the minimum exercise price of an option granted under the Option Plan must not be less than the closing market price of the common shares of the Company on the trading day immediately preceding the date of grant, less any applicable discount allowed by the Exchange.
the term of any stock option will not exceed ten years;
if a director or officer, ceases to hold office for any reason other than death, such director or officer shall have the right to exercise any vested option granted to him under the Plan and not exercised prior to such cessation within a period of 90 days after the date of such cessation of office, or such shorter period as may be set out in the optionee’s written agreement;
if an employee or consultant ceases to be so engaged by the Company for any reason other than death, such employee or consultant shall have the right to exercise any vested option granted to him under the Option Plan and not exercised prior to such termination within a period of 30 day after the date of termination, or such shorter period as may be set out in the optionee’s written agreement;
if an optionee who is engaged in investor relations activities ceases to be so engaged by the Company, such optionee shall have the right to exercise any vested option granted to the optionee under the Option Plan and not exercised prior to such termination within a period of 30 days after the date of termination, or such shorter period as may be set out in in the optionee’s written agreement;
if an optionee dies prior to the expiry of an option, his heirs or administrators may within 12 months from the date of the optionee’s death exercise that portion of an option granted to the optionee under the Option Plan which remains vested and outstanding;
the aggregate number of common shares subject to an option that may be granted to any one individual in any 12month period under the Option Plan shall not exceed 5% of the issued outstanding common shares determined at the time of such grant;
the aggregate number of common shares subject to an option that may be granted to any one consultant in any 12month period under the Option Plan shall not exceed 2% of the issued outstanding shares common shares determined at the time of such grant;
the aggregate number of common shares subject to an option that may be granted to any one person conducting investor relations activities in any 12-month period under the Option Plan shall not exceed 2% of the issued outstanding common shares determined at the time of such grant;
the Board will determine the vesting schedule for each Option granted with the exception that Options granted to any person engaged in investor relations activities shall vest in stages over 12 months with no more than ¼ of the stock options vesting in any three-month period and in accordance with the rules and policies of the regulatory authorities; and
all Options are non-assignable and non-transferable.

"Consultant", "Director", "Disinterested Shareholder Approval", "Eligible Charitable Organization", "Employee", "Investor Relations Activities", “Investor Relations Service Provider”, "Management Company Employee", "Market

Price", "Material Information", "Person", "Securities Laws" and “Security Based Compensation” all have the same definition as in the policies of the Exchange.

The above summary is qualified by the full text of the Option Plan, which is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

EMPLOYMENT CONSULTING AND MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS

Except as disclosed herein, the Company did not have any employment, consulting, or management agreements or any formal arrangements with the Company’s current NEOs or directors regarding compensation during the most recently completed financial year ended December 31, 2023, in respect of services provided to the Company or subsidiaries thereof.

Consulting Agreement with Andrei Agapov

The Company and Andrei Agapov have an agreement whereby Mr. Agapov fulfills the role of Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Pursuant to this agreement, Mr. Agapov is entitled to receive an annual salary in the amount of $540,000 and, at the discretion of the Board or the Board’s Compensation Committee, Mr. Agapov is entitled to receive an annual bonus of up to 100% of his salary. Pursuant to the agreement and subject to a change of control of the Company, Mr. Agapov is entitled to receive one year’s salary and his previously granted options shall vest immediately and shall be exercisable for one (1) year from the date of the change of control. Assuming the agreement was terminated on December 31, 2023, Mr. Agapov would have been entitled to be paid $540,000.

Trust and Contribution Agreements

The Company is a party to a trust agreement and a contribution agreement whereby it has agreed to pay to a trust established for members of management and the executive committee of the board of directors, a success fee upon the completion of a transaction or series of transactions. For the purposes of the contribution agreement, a "Transaction" is defined as: (a) any merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, restructuring, leveraged buyout, business combination, or any transaction pursuant to which the Company is acquired by or combined with a third party; or (b) the acquisition by a third party of any assets or operations of the Company, or any outstanding shares of the Company; or (c) a sale or spin-off of any material assets, of 5% or more of the capital stock of any subsidiary of the Company, or any transaction which has the effect of altering the capitalization of the Company. Where a change in control accompanies the Transaction, the success fee will be equal to 1% of the aggregate transaction value as defined in the contribution agreement. If the Transaction involves the acquisition of less than 50% of the voting power of the then outstanding Company's shares, then the success fee will be equal to 0.5% of the aggregate transaction value. As at todays date, none of the Transaction criteria had been met and $nil had been paid to the Trust.

In October 2012, the Company entered into a trust agreement and a contribution agreement whereby it has agreed to pay to a trust established for the board of directors and management of the Company a success fee equal to 2% of the proceeds received by the Company in respect of the legal proceedings it has commenced against the Venezuelan Government to obtain compensation for the nationalization of the Company's gold assets in Venezuela. In August 2022, the Company amended the trust agreement in order to extend the expiry date to October 2032.

The trustees for the trust (the " Trustees ") are independent directors and members of the Compensation Committee. The Trustees are empowered to allocate the success fee amongst the Board and management of the Company as they deem appropriate. As at today’s date, none of the criteria had been met and $nil has been paid to the Trust.

TERMINATION AND CHANGE OF CONTROL BENEFITS

Except as disclosed above, as at the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any contract, agreement, plan, or arrangement that provides for payment to any NEOs, executive officers, or directors at, following, or in connection with any termination (whether voluntary, involuntary or constructive), resignation, retirement, a change in control of the Company, or a change in an NEO, executive officer or director’s responsibilities.

OVERSIGHT AND DESCRIPTION OF DIRECTOR AND NEO COMPENSATION

The Board has not conducted a formal evaluation of the implications of the risks associated with the Company’s compensation policies. Risk management is a consideration of the Board when implementing its compensation policies and the Board does not believe that the Company's compensation policies result in unnecessary or inappropriate risk taking including risks that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Compensation provided to the Company’s NEOs is determined and reviewed by the Company’s Compensation Committee. In establishing executive compensation policies, the Compensation Committee takes into consideration the recommendations of management and, following discussion and review, reports them to the Company’s full Board for final approval. The members of the Compensation Committee for the financial year ended December 31, 2023, were Gordon Keep (Chair), Peter Hediger, and Tony Beruschi, each of whom is considered to be “independent” as that term is defined in National Instrument 58-101 - Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices .

Named Executive Officers Compensation

Compensation for the Company’s NEOs consists of:

(a) Base Salary;
(b) Option Based Awards;
(c) Eligibility to Receive Bonuses in the Form of Cash Payments; and
(d) Other Benefits.

The compensation being offered by the Company to its NEOs is in sync with the prevailing market conditions. The specific elements of compensation and compensation levels are based on what is required to attract and retain qualified and experienced executives to assist with the success of the Company and are intended to provide executives with appropriate compensation and incentives so as to encourage the further growth and development of the Company.

The Company does not currently have in place a share award program.

Base Salary

In determining base salary compensation for the NEOs, the Company, in previous years, relied on information provided by executive placement firms to determine compensation paid by companies of similar size engaged in mineral exploration, development and production. Those executive placement firms included CJ Safford & Associates for Presidents, CEOs and COOs, and Hays Specialist Recruitment, Robert Half and Moxon Personnel for CFOs, and other finance positions. Further, salaries of NEOs were compared to salaries paid by junior mining companies at a similar stage of development, as reported by them in their continuous disclosure filings. These other companies included Avion Gold Corp., B2Gold Corporation, Golden Star Resources, Gold Reserve Inc., Guyana Goldfields Inc., Jaguar Mining Inc., and Osisko Mining Corporation. Base salary compensation is also determined based on an assessment of each NEOs’ experience, level of expertise, responsibilities and previous remuneration. Other factors considered include prevailing industry demand for personnel having comparable skills and performing similar duties, the compensation the individual could reasonably expect to receive from a competitor and the Company’s ability to pay. Effective January 1, 2014, the CEO’s annual salary was reduced from $540,000 to $100,000 and subsequently reinstated on September 1, 2017, which is being accrued as noted in the Table of Compensation Excluding Compensation Securities section above. The reduction was in recognition of the Company’s limited cash resources and a decrease in the amount of time required to be devoted to the affairs of the Company following the nationalization by the Venezuelan government of the Company’s gold mining assets in Venezuela. The reinstatement was due to the amount of time required in pursuing the enforcement and collection of the Award (See Other Benefits below).

Option Based Awards

The Company has in effect a stock option plan in order to provide effective incentives to directors, officers and senior management personnel and consultants of the Company and to enable the Company to attract and retain experienced and qualified individuals in those positions by permitting such individuals to directly participate in an increase in per share value created for the Company’s Shareholders. In determining option grants to the NEOs, the Compensation Committee together with management takes into consideration factors that include the amount and exercise price of previous option grants, the NEO’s experience, level of expertise and responsibilities, and the contributions of each NEO towards the completion of corporate transactions in any given fiscal year.

The Board administers the stock option plan and, at the present time, option grants are approved by the Board. For details of the stock option plan, refer to Stock Options and Other Compensation Securities .

Eligibility to Receive Bonuses in the Form of Cash Payments

The Compensation Committee, together with recommendations from management, awards bonuses based on both individual performance and corporate success at various times throughout the year, up to an aggregate of 100% of a NEO’s base salary for the year. The Company does not have any specific milestone criteria for issuing bonuses at this time. There were no bonuses paid to the Company’s NEOs during the year ended December 31, 2023.

The other benefits that are provided to the Company’s NEOs are limited to payments consisting of contributions to life insurance, short and long-term disability insurance, and health and medical insurance. Other negotiable terms of compensation, such as payment on termination of employment and change of control, are reviewed and determined on an individual basis and are designed to be competitive overall with equivalent positions in comparable organizations. Details of such terms for the Company’s NEOs are set out under the heading “ Termination and Change of Control Benefits” .

Director Compensation

The compensation of directors is determined and reviewed by the Compensation Committee. Such compensation is determined after consideration of various factors, including the expected nature and quantity of duties and responsibilities, past performance, comparison with compensation paid by other issuers of comparable size and nature, and the availability of financial resources.

All directors who are not considered management of the Company or Chairman of the Board are entitled to receive a director’s fee every quarter in the amount of $7,500. Members of the Company’s Executive Committee, other than Andrei Agapov, are entitled to an additional fee of $5,000 per quarter.

The Company also may grant its directors incentive stock options. See Stock Options and Other Compensation Securities . Stock options are granted to the directors of the Company as an incentive and appreciation for their time and efforts provided to the Company. The quantity and quality of Board compensation is reviewed on an annual basis. At present, the Board is satisfied that the current compensation arrangements adequately reflect the responsibilities and risks involved in being an effective director of the Company. The number of options to be granted to any director or officer is determined by the Compensation Committee together with management.

Use of Financial Instruments

The Company does not have a policy that would prohibit a NEO or director from purchasing financial instruments, including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars or units of exchange funds, that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the Named Executive Officer or director. However, management is not aware of any Named Executive or director purchasing such an instrument.

PENSION AND OTHER BENEFIT PLANS

The Company does not have any pension, retirement, defined benefit, defined contribution, or deferred compensation plans that provides for payments or benefits to its directors and NEOs at, following, or in connection with retirement and none are proposed at this time.

SECTION 6 – AUDIT COMMITTEE

National Instrument 52-110 - Audit Committees (“ NI 52-110 ”) requires the Company, as a venture issuer, to disclose annually in its Information Circular certain information concerning the constitution of its Audit Committee and its relationship with its independent auditor. Such disclosure is set forth below.

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

The charter of the Company's audit committee is attached as Schedule "A".

COMPOSITION OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

As at the date hereof, the Audit Committee of the Company is comprised of four directors, namely Gordon Keep, Jay Kaplowitz, Peter Hediger, and Anthony Beruschi

NI 52-110 provides that a member of an audit committee is “independent” if the member has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company, which could, in the view of the Board, reasonably interfere with the exercise of the member’s independent judgment. As the Company is a venture issuer, the Company is exempt from the Audit Committee composition requirements in NI 52-110 which require all Audit Committee members to be independent. All members of the Audit Committee are considered to be independent with the exception of Gordon Keep.

NI 52-110 provides that an individual is “financially literate” if they have the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company’s financial statements. All of the members of the Company’s audit committee are financially literate as that term is defined.

RELEVANT EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE

Each member of the Company’s Audit Committee has adequate education and experience that is relevant to his performance as an Audit Committee member and, in particular the requisite education and experience that have provided the member with:

(a) an understanding of the accounting principles used by the Company to prepare its financial statements and the ability to assess the general application of those principles in connection with estimates, accruals and reserves;
(b) experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company’s financial statements or experience actively supervising individuals engaged in such activities; and

PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

SECTION 7 – CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

GENERAL

Pursuant to National Instrument 58-101 - Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“ NI 58-101 ”), the Company is required to disclose its corporate governance practices. Corporate governance relates to the policies, structure and activities of a board of directors of a corporation, the members of which are elected by and are accountable to the Shareholders of the corporation and takes into account the role of the individual members of management who are appointed by the board of directors and who are charged with the day-to-day management of the corporation.

National Policy 58-201 - Corporate Governance Guidelines (“ NP 58-201 ”) establishes corporate governance guidelines which apply to all public companies. These guidelines are not intended to be prescriptive but to be used by issuers in developing their own corporate governance practices.

Corporate governance encourages establishing a reasonable degree of independence of the board of directors from executive management and the adoption of policies to ensure the board of directors recognizes the principles of good management. The Board is committed to sound corporate governance practices, as such practices are both in the interests of Shareholders and help to contribute to effective and efficient decision-making and believes the Company’s corporate governance practices are appropriate and effective for the Company given its current size.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The mandate of the Board, as prescribed by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), is to manage or supervise the management of the business and affairs of the Company and to act with a view to the best interests of the Company. In doing so, the Board oversees the management of the Company’s affairs directly and through its committees.

The Board facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over management by ensuring that the Board is composed of a majority of directors independent of management. In determining whether a director is independent, the Board considers whether the director has a relationship which could, or could be perceived to, interfere with the director’s ability to objectively assess the performance of management. The Board, at present, is composed of seven directors, the majority of whom are considered “independent” as that term is defined in applicable securities legislation. Andrei Agapov is not considered independent for the purposes of NI 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices by reason of his position as Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

The Board is responsible for approving long-term strategic plans and annual operating plans and budgets recommended by management. Board consideration and approval is also required for material contracts and business transactions, and all debt and equity financing transactions.

The Board delegates to management responsibility for meeting defined corporate objectives, implementing approved strategic and operating plans, carrying on the Company’s business in the ordinary course, managing the Company’s cash flow, evaluating new business opportunities, recruiting staff and complying with applicable regulatory requirements. The Board also looks to management to furnish recommendations respecting corporate objectives, longterm strategic plans and annual operating plans.

DIRECTORSHIPS IN OTHER REPORTING ISSUERS

Certain of the directors of the Company are also directors of other reporting issuers (or the equivalent) in a jurisdiction or a foreign jurisdiction as follows:

Name of Director	Other Reporting Issuer (or the equivalent)(1)
	Klondike Gold Corp.
Gordon Keep	Oceanic Iron Ore Corp. Vanadian Energy Corp.
	Total Helium Ltd.

Note: The information in the table above as to other directorships is not within the knowledge of management of the Company and has been furnished by the respective director(s).

ORIENTATION AND CONTINUING EDUCATION

The Board briefs all new directors with the policies of the Board of Directors, and other relevant corporate and business information.

ETHICAL BUSINESS CONDUCT

The Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company’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 Company.

Under the corporate legislation, a director is required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances, and disclose to the Board the nature and extent of any interest of the director in any material contract or material transaction, whether made or proposed, if the director is a party to the contract or transaction, is a director or officer (or an individual acting in a similar capacity) of a party to the contract or transaction or has a material interest in

a party to the contract or transaction. The director must then abstain from voting on the contract or transaction unless the contract or transaction (i) relates primarily to their remuneration as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or an affiliate of the Company, (ii) is for indemnity or insurance for the benefit of the director in connection with the Company, or (iii) is with an affiliate of the Company. If the director abstains from voting after disclosure of their interest, the directors approve the contract or transaction and the contract or transaction was reasonable and fair to the Company at the time it was entered into, the contract or transaction is not invalid and the director is not accountable to the Company for any profit realized from the contract or transaction. Otherwise, the director must have acted honestly and in good faith, the contract or transaction must have been reasonable and fair to the Company and the contract or transaction be approved by the Shareholders by a special resolution after receiving full disclosure of its terms in order for the director to avoid such liability or the contract or transaction being invalid.

NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors is responsible for identifying individuals qualified to become new Board members and recommending to the Board new director nominees for the next annual meeting of the Shareholders.

New nominees must have a track record in general business management, special expertise in an area of strategic interest to the Company, the ability to devote the time required, shown support for the Company’s mission and strategic objectives, and a willingness to serve.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

The Board of Directors relies on its Compensation Committee to conduct reviews with regard to compensation for directors and officers, including the President and the Chief Executive Officer, throughout the year. The Compensation Committee has the responsibility for determining the compensation of the directors and officers and does so with reference to comparative organizations, taking into consideration such matters as time commitment, responsibility and trends in director and executive compensation. For more information regarding compensation paid to directors and executives please see related sections set out in this Information Circular.

The members of the Board that make up the Compensation Committee are Gordon Keep, Peter Hediger, and Anthony Beruschi.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

In addition to the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors also has an Executive Committee, the members of which are Gordon Keep, Andrei Agapov, and Jay Kaplowitz.

ASSESSMENTS

The Board annually reviews its own performance and effectiveness as well as reviews the Audit Committee Charter and recommends revisions as necessary. Neither the Company nor the Board has adopted formal procedures to regularly assess the Board, the Audit Committee or the individual directors as to their effectiveness and contribution. Effectiveness is subjectively measured by comparing actual corporate results with stated objectives. The contributions of individual directors are informally monitored by the other board members, bearing in mind the business strengths of the individual and the purpose of originally nominating the individual to the Board. The Board monitors the adequacy of information given to directors, communication between the Board and management and the strategic direction and processes of the Board and its committees.

The Board believes its corporate governance practices are appropriate and effective for the Company, given its size and operations. The Company’s corporate governance practices allow the Company to operate efficiently, with checks and balances that control and monitor management and corporate functions without excessive administrative burden.
