SEGO RESOURCES INC.

PO Box 30013, Parkgate Village RPO North Vancouver, BC V7H 2Y8

INFORMATION CIRCULAR

INFORMATION PROVIDED as at May 13, 2024 FOR THE ANNUAL AND SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON JUNE 27, 2024 (THE “MEETING”).

This Information Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by management of Sego Resources Inc. (“Sego” or the “Company”) for use at the Meeting (or any adjournment thereof), at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the Notice of Meeting. It is expected that the solicitation will be primarily by mail. Proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone by directors, officers or arms-length third parties appointed by Sego. Management is unable at this time to accurately estimate what the cost of such solicitation may be.

All costs of this solicitation will be borne by Sego. Sego will also pay the broker-dealers, banks or other nominee shareholders of record of Sego their reasonable expenses in mailing copies of the foregoing material to beneficial owners of shares.

All dollar amounts in this Information Circular are in Canadian currency unless otherwise specified.

This document is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and, upon request, a copy of this document will be provided free of charge to any security holder of the Company.

RECORD DATE

Sego directors have set May 13, 2024 as the record date for determining which shareholders shall be entitled to receive notice of the Meeting. Only shareholders of record at the close of business on May 13, 2024 who either attend the Meeting personally or complete and deliver the form of proxy in the manner and subject to the provisions discussed below, will be entitled to vote or to have their shares voted at the Meeting.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXYHOLDERS AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

The persons named in the form of proxy as proxyholders are directors of Sego. A shareholder desiring to appoint some other person (who need not be a shareholder) to represent him or her at the Meeting may do so, either by striking out the printed names and inserting the desired person’s name in the blank space provided in the form of proxy or by completing another proper form of proxy. In either case, the completed proxy must be delivered to the office of Computershare Investor Services, 100 University Avenue, 9[th] Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time fixed or any adjournment thereof at which the form of proxy is to be used.

A shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it by an instrument in writing, duly executed by the shareholder or where the shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the corporation and delivered to Sego’s office, PO Box 30013, Parkgate Village RPO, North Vancouver, BC V7H 2Y8, at any time up to and including the last business day that precedes the day of the Meeting or, if adjourned, the day that precedes any reconvening thereof, or in any manner provided by law.

VOTING OF PROXIES

If the form of proxy is completed, signed and delivered as prescribed above, the persons named as proxyholders in the form of proxy will vote or withhold from voting the shares in respect of which they are appointed in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder appointing them. The form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the proxyholders with respect to all other matters or variations to matters which may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. As of the date of this Information Circular, management of Sego knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting, other than matters referred to in the Notice of Meeting. If other matters should properly come before the Meeting, however, the form of proxy will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgement of the person or persons voting the proxy.

If no choice is specified by a shareholder in the form of proxy with respect to a matter identified in the form of proxy or any amendment or variations to such matters, it is intended that the person designated by management will vote the shares therein represented in favour of each matter identified on the form of proxy and for the nominees of management for directors and auditors.

BENEFICIAL HOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many shareholders as a substantial number of shareholders do not hold common shares in their own name. Shareholders who do not hold their shares in their own name (“Beneficial Shareholders”) should note that only proxies deposited by shareholders whose names appear on the records of Sego 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 Beneficial Shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those common shares will not be registered in the Beneficial Shareholder’s name on the records of Sego. Such common shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Beneficial Shareholder’s broker or an agent of that broker. In the United States, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for The Depositary 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). Common shares held by brokers or their agents or nominees can only be voted (for or against resolutions) upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholders. Beneficial Shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their common shares are communicated to the appropriate person.

Applicable regulatory policies require 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. Often 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 Sego; 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 Investor Communication Services (“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 Reporting Issuers (“NI 54-101”) issuers may request and obtain a list of their NOBOs from intermediaries via their transfer agents. If you are a Beneficial Shareholder, and Sego 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.

Sego has decided to take advantage of the provisions of NI 54-101 that permit it to deliver proxy related materials directly to its NOBOs. By choosing to send these materials to you directly, Sego (and not the intermediary holding common shares on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. As a result, if you are a NOBO of Sego, you can expect to receive a scannable Voting Instruction Form (“VIF”) from the Transfer Agent. Please complete and return the VIF to the Transfer Agent in the envelope provided or by facsimile. In addition, telephone voting and internet voting can be found in the VIF. The Transfer Agent will tabulate the results of the VIFs received from Sego’s NOBOs and will provide appropriate instructions at the Meeting with respect to the shares represented by the VIFs they receive.

Sego’s NOBOs can expect to be contacted by Broadridge or their brokers or their broker’s agents as set out above.

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 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.

VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

As at May 13, 2024, the record date, there were a total of 162,693,776 shares outstanding. Each common share entitles the holder thereof to one vote.

To the knowledge of Sego’s directors and executive officers, only one person and one company beneficially owns, controls or directs, directly or indirectly, voting shares carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to Sego’s issued and outstanding common shares, that being Mr. Elliot Strashin who controls 14.65% and Fruchtenexpress Grabher GmbH & Co KG which owns 13.21% of the issued and outstanding shares.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Except as otherwise disclosed in this Information Circular, no director, executive officer, proposed management nominee, or any associate or affiliate thereof has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of shares of Sego or otherwise in the matters to be acted upon at the Meeting, other than the election of directors or the appointment of auditors.

– 5 –

FIXING THE SIZE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

It is intended that the number of directors to be elected by the shareholders be established at six (6). This requires the approval of the shareholders of Sego by an ordinary resolution which approval will be sought at the Meeting.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

At the Meeting, shareholders will be called upon to elect six (6) directors for the ensuing year or until their successors are duly elected or appointed, unless the director’s office is earlier vacated in accordance with the Articles of Sego, or unless that person becomes disqualified to act as a director. While management does not contemplate that any of its nominees will be unable to serve as a director, if any management nominee should become unavailable, the form of proxy will be voted for substitute nominees as may be nominated by management. Set forth below is information regarding each management nominee for election at the Meeting as a director of Sego:

Board of Directors

As at May 13, 2024, the Board consists of six (6) directors: John Paul Stevenson, Sven Gollan, Shelley Hallock, James Allan Hilton, Jean-Pierre Colin, and David Speck.

Cease Trade Orders and Bankruptcies

No proposed director of the Company is, as of the date of this Information Circular, or has been, within the 10 years prior to the date hereof, a director or chief executive officer or chief financial officer of any company (including the Company) that: (a) was subject to an order that was issued while the proposed director was acting in the capacity as director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer; or (ii) was subject to an order that was issued after the proposed director ceased to be a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer and which resulted from an event that occurred while that person was acting in the capacity as director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer.

No proposed director of the Company is, as at the date of this Information Circular, or has been within 10 years before the date of this Information Circular, a director or executive officer of any company (including the Company) that, while that person was acting in that capacity, or within a year of that person ceasing to act in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets.

No proposed director of the Company has, within the 10 years before the date of this Information Circular, become bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or become subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors, or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold the assets of the proposed director.

STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

National Instrument 58-101, Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices , requires all companies to provide certain annual disclosure of their corporate governance practices with respect to the corporate governance guidelines (the “Guidelines”) adopted in National Policy 58-201. These Guidelines are not prescriptive, but have been used by Sego in adopting its corporate governance practices. Sego’s approach to corporate governance is set out below.

The guidelines suggest that the Board of every listed company should be constituted with a majority of individuals who qualify as “independent” directors under section 1.4 of NI 52-110 which provides that a director is independent if he or she has no direct or indirect “material relationship” with Sego. A “material relationship” is a relationship which could, in the view of Sego’s board of directors, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgement. Of the current Board, the following members are independent: Shelley Hallock, David Speck, Jean-Pierre Colin, and Sven Gollan, and the following members are not independent: John Paul Stevenson, James and Allan Hilton. John Paul Stevenson is not independent as he is the Chief Executive Officer of Sego. James Allan Hilton is not independent as, from time to time, he provides consulting services on a fee for service basis to Sego.

The independent directors do not hold regular meetings but Sego does endeavor to create a culture of independence and willingness to share new ideas and new information. Sego has no Chairperson but does endeavor to encourage its directors, particularly new directors to assume leadership roles and to bring its experiences to bear on Sego’s business and goals. The Board of Directors holds very few formal meetings but the Company’s officers hold frequent discussions with all its members to keep them abreast of corporate developments.

– 7 –

Sego’s Board of Directors does not have a written mandate. Sego delineates its roles and responsibilities based on project needs. For day-to-day functions, Sego relies upon the experience and qualifications of its Board.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Sego has appointed a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the primary purposes of which are to:

  1. develop and recommend to the Board corporate governance guidelines for Sego and make recommendations to the Board with respect to corporate governance practices;

  2. identify individuals qualified to become members of the Board consistent with criteria approved by the Board and to recommend to the Board nominees for election to the Board at each annual meeting of shareholders or to fill vacancies on the Board; and

  3. develop and oversee the annual Board and Board Committee evaluation process.

The Committee is composed of David Speck and Shelley Hallock.

Nomination of Directors

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for considering, recruiting and recommending candidates for board nomination.

Orientation and Continuing Education

Sego does not provide a formal orientation and education program for new directors; however, any new directors will be given the opportunity to familiarize themselves with Sego, the current directors and members of management. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also encourages and provides opportunities for directors to pursue continuing education opportunities relating to their role as directors.

Compensation Committee

The Board has not, to date, constituted a compensation committee. The Board, as a whole, determines compensation; however, a formal process has not been adopted.

Assessments

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assumes the responsibility of assessing the effectiveness of the Board, the committees of the Board and the contribution and effectiveness of individual directors on an annual basis.

– 8 –

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board has adopted a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to directors, officers, employees and consultants of Sego to promote integrity and to deter wrongdoing with respect to issues including conflicts of interest; protection and proper use of corporate assets; confidentiality of corporate information; compliance with laws, rules and regulations; and reporting of illegal or unethical behaviour.

Other Board Committees

Sego only has the Audit Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Sego does not have an executive committee of the Board of Directors. For additional information concerning the Audit Committee, please refer to the “Audit Committee” section of this Information Circular.

Assessments

The Board does not have written descriptions of the responsibilities of its officers, relying on traditional business definitions associated with the roles and their responsibilities. Sego is relatively small and direct communication between directors and officers is encouraged. The Board has not taken any additional measures to assess the effectiveness of the Board.

STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

This disclosure is intended to communicate the compensation provided to Sego's President, Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and Secretary, Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”) and three other most highly compensated officers of Sego (if they individually received more than $150,000 of total compensation during the most recently completed financial year) during the year ended June 30, 2023 (collectively, the “Named Executive Officers”) and the directors of Sego. For the year ended June 30, 2023, Sego’s Named Executive Officers were John Paul Stevenson, President, CEO and Secretary and Selina Tribe, PhD, P.Geo., CFO.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Sego relies solely on the board discussion to determine compensation paid to executives and directors, without any formal objectives, criteria or analysis, and reviews of compensation are conducted on a periodic basis As Sego is still in the exploration stage as a junior mining company, Sego’s compensation program consists primarily of stock options. The Company has not retained any compensation consultants.

The long-term incentive program is intended to align the interests of the Named Executive Officers, directors, consultants and employees with those of Sego's shareholders over the longer term and to provide a retention incentive for each Named Executive Officer. This component of the compensation package consists of grants of options to purchase common shares (“Options”) as permitted under the Stock Option Plan of Sego (the “Stock Option Plan”) and applicable stock exchange rules. Numerous factors and taken into consideration by the Board of Directors in determining grants of Options, including: a review of the previous grants (including value both at the current share prices and potential future prices), the remaining time to expiry, overall corporate performance, share price performance, the business environment and the role and performance of the individual in question.
