INFORMATION CIRCULAR
(containing information as at April 14, 2025 unless indicated otherwise)

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This Information Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Torchlight Innovations Inc. (the "Company") for use at the Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders") (and any adjournment thereof) to be held on Thursday, May 22, 2025 (the "Meeting"), for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting. While it is expected that the solicitation will be primarily by mail, proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone by the directors, officers and regular employees of the Company at nominal cost. All costs of solicitation by management will be borne by the Company.

The contents and the sending of this Information Circular have been approved by the directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors" or "Board").

APPOINTMENT OF PROXYHOLDER

The individuals named in the accompanying form of proxy are Fayyaz Alimohamed and Zula Kropivnitski (collectively, "Management's Nominees"). A SHAREHOLDER WISHING TO APPOINT SOME OTHER PERSON (WHO NEED NOT BE A SHAREHOLDER) TO REPRESENT HIM, HER OR IT AT THE MEETING HAS THE RIGHT TO DO SO, EITHER BY STRIKING OUT THE NAMES OF MANAGEMENT'S NOMINEES NAMED IN THE ACCOMPANYING FORM OF PROXY AND INSERTING THE DESIRED PERSON'S NAME IN THE BLANK SPACE PROVIDED IN THE FORM OF PROXY OR BY COMPLETING ANOTHER FORM OF PROXY.

A proxy will not be valid unless the completed form of proxy is received by Odyssey Trust Company (the "Transfer Agent") at Proxy Department, #350 – 409 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 1T2, Canada, not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time for holding the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Proxies delivered after that time will not be accepted.

REVOCATION OF PROXIES

A Shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it by an instrument in writing executed by the Shareholder or by his, her or its attorney authorized in writing or, where the Shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the corporation, and delivered to the registered office of the Company, at MLT Aikins LLP, Suite 2600, 1066 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 3X1, Canada at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or if adjourned, any reconvening thereof, or to the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or, if adjourned, any reconvening thereof or in any other manner provided by law. A revocation of a proxy does not affect any matter on which a vote has been taken prior to the revocation.

INFORMATION FOR NON-REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS

Only registered Shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most Shareholders of the Company are "non-registered" Shareholders because the shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the names of a brokerage firm, bank or other intermediary or in the name of a clearing agency. Shareholders who do not hold their shares in their own name (referred to herein as "Beneficial Shareholders") should note that only registered

40329088v2


  • 2 -

Shareholders may vote at the Meeting. If common shares in the capital of the Company ("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 such Shareholder's name on the records of the Company. Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Shareholder's broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., which company acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Common Shares held by brokers (or their agents or nominees) on behalf of a broker's client can only be voted (for or against resolutions) at the direction of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, brokers and their agents and nominees are prohibited from voting shares for the brokers' clients. Therefore, each Beneficial Shareholder should ensure that voting instructions are communicated to the appropriate person well in advance of the Meeting.

Existing regulatory policy requires brokers and other intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of Shareholders' meetings. The various brokers and other intermediaries have their own mailing procedures and provide their 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. Often the form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker is identical to the form of proxy provided by the Company to the registered Shareholders. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered Shareholder (i.e. 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"). Broadridge typically prepares a machine-readable voting instruction form, mails those forms to the Beneficial Shareholders and asks Beneficial Shareholders to return the forms to Broadridge, or otherwise communicate voting instructions to Broadridge (by way of the internet or telephone, for example). Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder who receives a Broadridge voting instruction form cannot use that form to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting. The voting instruction form must be returned to Broadridge (or instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares must be communicated to Broadridge) well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted.

This Information Circular and accompanying materials are being sent to both registered Shareholders and Beneficial Shareholders. Beneficial Shareholders fall into two categories – those who object to their identity being known to the issuers of securities which they own ("Objecting Beneficial Owners", or "OBOs") and those who do not object to their identity being made known to the issuers of the securities they own ("Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners", or "NOBOs"). Subject to the provision of National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer ("NI 54-101") issuers may request and obtain a list of their NOBOs from intermediaries via their transfer agents. Pursuant to NI 54-101, issuers may obtain and use the NOBO list for distribution of proxy-related materials directly (not via Broadridge) to such NOBOs. If you are a Beneficial Shareholder, and the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name, address and information about your holdings of Common Shares have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding the Common Shares on your behalf. The Company's OBOs can expect to be contacted by Broadridge or their brokers or their broker's agents as set out above.

The Company is not sending its proxy-related materials to the registered Shareholders or Beneficial Shareholders using "notice and access", as defined in National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer.

The Company does not intend to pay for intermediaries to deliver the proxy-related materials and Form 54-101F7 to OBOs, as defined under NI 54-101. As a result, OBOs will not receive the Meeting materials unless the OBOs intermediary assumes the costs of delivery.

Although Beneficial Shareholders may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Common Shares registered in the name of his broker, a Beneficial Shareholder may attend the Meeting as proxyholder for the registered Shareholder and vote the Common Shares in that capacity. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to attend the Meeting and indirectly vote their Common Shares as proxyholder

40329088v2

for the registered Shareholder should enter their own names in the blank space on the 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.

All references to Shareholders in this Information Circular and the accompanying form of Proxy and Notice of Meeting are to Shareholders of record unless specifically stated otherwise.

VOTING OF PROXIES

The Common Shares represented by a properly executed proxy in favour of persons proposed by Management as proxyholders in the accompanying form of proxy will:

(a) be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the person appointing the proxyholder on any ballot that may be taken; and

(b) where a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon has been specified in the form of proxy, be voted in accordance with the specification made in such proxy.

ON A POLL SUCH SHARES WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOUR OF EACH MATTER FOR WHICH NO CHOICE HAS BEEN SPECIFIED BY THE SHAREHOLDER.

The enclosed form of proxy when properly completed and delivered and not revoked confers discretionary authority upon the person appointed proxy thereunder to vote with respect to amendments or variations of matters identified in the Notice of Meeting, and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. In the event that amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting are properly brought before the Meeting or any further or other business is properly brought before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons designated in the enclosed form of proxy to vote in accordance with their best judgment on such matters or business. At the time of the printing of this Information Circular, the management of the Company knows of no such amendment, variation or other matter which may be presented to the Meeting.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

Authorized Share Structure: an unlimited number of Common Shares without par value

Issued and Outstanding: 5,500,000⁽¹⁾ Common Shares without par value

Note:
⁽¹⁾ As at the date hereof.

The Common Shares are the only voting securities of the Company. Only Shareholders of record at the close of business on April 14, 2025 (the “Record Date”) who either personally attend the Meeting or who have completed and delivered a form of proxy in the manner and subject to the provisions described above shall be entitled to vote or to have their Common Shares voted at the Meeting.

On a show of hands, every individual who is present and is entitled to vote as a Shareholder or as a representative of one or more corporate Shareholders, or who is holding a proxy on behalf of a Shareholder who is not present at the Meeting, will have one vote, and on a poll every Shareholder present in person or represented by a proxy and every person who is a representative of one or more corporate Shareholders, will have one vote for each Common Share registered in his, her or its name.

40329088v2


To the knowledge of the directors and senior officers of the Company, the only persons or companies who beneficially own, directly or indirectly or exercise control or direction over shares carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to all outstanding shares of the Company are:

Name No. of Shares Percentage
Fayyaz Alimohamed 1,000,000^{(1)} 18.2%
Frederic Leigh 1,000,000^{(1)} 18.2%

Note:
(1) A portion of these shares are subject to escrow pursuant to an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) dated May 12, 2022 among the Company, Odyssey Trust Company as escrow agent, the directors and officers of the Company, and certain other Shareholders of the Company.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors presently consists of three (3) directors and it is intended to determine the number of directors at three (3) and to elect three (3) directors for the ensuing year.

The term of office of each of the present directors expires at the Meeting. The persons named below will be presented for election at the Meeting as the nominees of management and the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy intend to vote for the election of these nominees. Management does not contemplate that any of these nominees will be unable to serve as a director. Each director elected will hold office until the next annual general meeting of the Company or until his successor is elected or appointed, unless his office is earlier vacated in accordance with the Articles of the Company, or with the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).

According to the Company's Articles, the Company must receive advance notice of nominations of directors by Shareholders. The purpose of the advance notice provision is to provide Shareholders, directors and management of the Company with direction on the procedure for Shareholder nomination of directors. The advance notice provision is the framework by which the Company seeks to fix a deadline by which holders of record of Common Shares must submit director nominations to the Company prior to any annual or special meeting of Shareholders and sets forth the information that a Shareholder must include in the notice to the Company for the notice to be in proper written form. The Company did not receive notice of any director nominations in connection with the Meeting within the time periods prescribed by the Articles. Accordingly, at the Meeting, the only persons eligible to be nominated for election to the Board are the Nominees.

The following table and notes thereto states the name of each person proposed to be nominated by management for election as a director (a “proposed director”), the province or state and country in which he or she is ordinarily resident, all offices of the Company now held by him or her, his or her principal occupation, business or employment for the five preceding years for new director nominees, the period of time for which he or she has been a director of the Company, and the number of Common Shares of the Company beneficially owned by him or her, directly or indirectly, or over which he or she exercises control or direction, as at the date thereof.

The purpose of the Plan is to allow the Company to grant options to directors, officers, employees and consultants, as an incentive to dedicate their efforts to advance the success of the Company. The granting of options is intended to align the interests of such persons with that of the members.

Eligible Optionees

Under the policies of the TSXV, to be eligible for the issuance of a stock option under the Plan an optionee must either be a bona fide director, officer, consultant or an employee of the Company or a company providing management or other services to the Company or a subsidiary of the Company at the time the option is granted (a "Service Provider").

Oversight and Description of Named Executive Officer and Director Compensation

The Company's Named Executive Officer and director compensation is administered by the Board. The Board has primary responsibility for approval with respect to the appointment and remuneration of Named Executive Officers of the Company and the remuneration of the Board. The Board also evaluates the performance of the Company's senior executive officers and reviews the design and competitiveness of the Company's compensation plans.

During the financial year ended December 31, 2024, the Company did not provide any compensation to its NEO and directors.

Stock Options

The Plan is designed to give each option holder an interest in preserving and maximizing Shareholder value in the longer term, to enable the Company to attract and retain individuals with experience and ability and to reward individuals for current performance and expected future performance. The Board considers stock option grants when reviewing executive officer compensation packages as a whole.

40329088v2


  • 14 -

The Board has sole discretion to determine the key employees to whom it recommends that grants be made and to determine the terms and conditions of the options forming part of such grants. The Board approves ranges of stock option grants for each level of executive officer. Individual grants are determined by an assessment of an individual's current and expected future performance, level of responsibilities and the importance of the position to the Company.

The number of stock options which may be issued under the Plan in the aggregate and in respect of any fiscal year is limited under the terms of the Plan and cannot be increased without Shareholder approval.

Pension Disclosure

The Company does not provide any pension benefits to its NEO or directors.

The Company does not permit its NEOs or directors to purchase financial instruments, including, for greater certainty, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars or units of exchange funds, that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the NEO or director.

SCHEDULE “B”

DISCLOSURE OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

Statement of Corporate Governance Practices

National Policy 58-201 - Corporate Governance Guidelines ("NP 58-201") establishes corporate governance guidelines which apply to all public companies. The Company has reviewed its own corporate governance practices in light of these guidelines. In certain cases, the Company's practices comply with the guidelines, however, the Board considers that some of the guidelines are not suitable for the Company at its current stage of development and therefore these guidelines have not been adopted. National Instrument 58-101 - Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices ("NI 58-101") mandates disclosure of corporate governance practices for Venture Issuers in Form 58-101F2, which disclosure is set out below.

Board of Directors

Structure and Compensation

The Board is currently composed of three (3) directors and all members of the current Board are the proposed nominees for election as director at the Meeting.

NP 58-201 suggests that the Board of every listed corporation should be constituted with a majority of individuals who qualify as "independent" directors under NI 58-101, which provides that a director is independent if he or she has no direct or indirect "material relationship" with the Company. "Material relationship" is defined as a relationship which could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director's independent judgement. Of the current directors, Fayyaz Alimohamed, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer is an inside or management director and accordingly is considered not "independent". The remaining directors are considered by the Board to be "independent", within the meaning of NI 52-110.

The Company determined that it does not require a formal compensation committee given its size and limited scope of operations at this time. The Board reviews the adequacy and form of compensation and compares it to other companies of similar size and stage of development. There is no minimum share ownership requirement of directors. Directors' compensation will be in the form of stock options and the payment of directors' fees. The Company's Board reviews and approves the general compensation philosophy and guidelines, incentive plan design and other remuneration for all directors and executive officers, including the CEO.

Directorships

The following directors of the Company and proposed nominees are directors of other reporting issuers:

Name Name of Other Reporting Issuer
Fayyaz Alimohamed Searchlight Innovations Inc. (TSXV)
Frederic Leigh Savanna Capital Corp. (TSXV)
O2Gold Inc. (TSXV)

Nomination, Assessment, Orientation and Continuing Education

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

The Board does not, at present, have a formal process in place for assessing the effectiveness of the Board as a whole, its committees or individual directors, but will consider implementing one in the future should circumstances warrant. Based on the Company's size, its stage of development and the limited number of individuals on the Board, the Board considers a formal assessment process to be inappropriate at this time. The Board plans to continue evaluating its own effectiveness on an ad hoc basis. The current size of the Board is such that the entire Board takes responsibility for selecting new directors and assessing current directors. Proposed directors' credentials are reviewed in advance of a Board meeting with one or more members of the Board prior to the proposed director's nomination.

New directors are briefed on strategic plans, short, medium and long-term corporate objectives, business risks and mitigation strategies, corporate governance guidelines and existing company policies. However, there is no formal orientation for new members of the Board, and this is considered to be appropriate, given the Company's size and current limited operations.

The skills and knowledge of the Board of Directors as a whole is such that no formal continuing education process is currently deemed required. The Board is comprised of individuals with varying backgrounds, who have, both collectively and individually, extensive experience in running and managing public companies. Board members are encouraged to communicate with management, auditor and technical consultants to keep themselves current with industry trends and developments and changes in legislation, with management's assistance. Board members have full access to the Company's records. Reference is made to the table under the heading "Election of Directors" in the Circular for a description of the current principal occupations of each member of the Company's Board.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board expects management to operate the business of the Company in a manner that enhances Shareholder value and is consistent with the highest level of integrity. Management is expected to execute the Company's business plan and to meet performance goals and objectives. To date, the Board has not adopted a formal written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. However, the current limited size of the Company's operations and the small number of officers and employees allow the independent members of the Board to monitor on an ongoing basis the activities of management and to ensure that the highest standard of ethical conduct is maintained. As the Company grows in size and scope, the Board anticipates that it will formulate and implement a formal Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

The Audit Committee and the Board has established a policy and procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting or auditing matters (the "Whistleblower Policy") to encourage employees, officers and directors to raise concerns regarding accounting, internal controls or auditing matters, on a confidential basis. In addition to the general complaint procedure set out in the Whistleblower Policy, a confidential complaint regarding a questionable accounting or auditing matter may be forwarded directly to the chair of the Audit Committee.

Other Board Committees

The Board currently has one standing committee: the Audit Committee.
