MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

( as at August 30, 2023 , except as otherwise indicated )

SHELLRON CAPITAL LTD. (“ Shellron ” or the “ Company ”) is providing this Management Information Circular (this “ Circular ”) in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Shellron for use at the ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING (the “ Meeting ”) of Shellron to be held on September 29, 2023 , and at any adjournments. Shellron will conduct its solicitation by mail and directors, officers and employees of Shellron may, without receiving special compensation, also telephone or make other personal contact. Shellron will pay the cost of solicitation. This Circular refers to Shellron’s financial year ended April 30, 2023.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXYHOLDER

The purpose of a proxy is to designate persons who will vote the proxy on behalf of a holder of common shares of the Company (a “ Shareholder ”) in accordance with the instructions given by the Shareholder in the proxy. The individuals named in the enclosed form of proxy are officers and/or Directors of the Company (the “ Management Proxyholders ”).

IF YOU ARE A SHAREHOLDER ENTITLED TO VOTE AT THE MEETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO APPOINT A PERSON OR COMPANY OTHER THAN THE MANAGEMENT PROXYHOLDERS, WHO NEED NOT BE A SHAREHOLDER, TO ATTEND AND ACT FOR YOU AND ON YOUR BEHALF AT THE MEETING. YOU MAY DO SO EITHER BY INSERTING THE NAME OF THAT OTHER PERSON IN THE BLANK SPACE PROVIDED IN THE PROXY OR BY COMPLETING AND DELIVERING ANOTHER SUITABLE FORM OF PROXY .

VOTING BY PROXY

Only registered shareholders (“Registered Shareholders”) or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting . Common shares (“ Shares ”) represented by a properly executed proxy will be voted for or against or be withheld from voting on each matter referred to in the notice of Meeting (“ Notice of Meeting ”) 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 a Shareholder does not specify a choice and the Shareholder has appointed one of the Management Proxyholders as proxyholder, the Management Proxyholder will vote in favour of the matters specified in the Notice of Meeting and in favour of all other matters proposed by management at the Meeting.

The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority on the persons named therein as proxyholder with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the date of this Circular, management of the Company knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting.

COMPLETION AND RETURN OF PROXY

Completed forms of proxy must be deposited at the office of the Company’s registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc., Proxy Department, 100 University Avenue, P.O. Box 4572, Toronto,

Ontario, M5J 2Y1, not later than forty-eight (48) hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, prior to the time of the Meeting, unless the chairman of the Meeting elects to exercise his discretion to accept proxies received subsequently.

NON-REGISTERED HOLDERS

The following information is of significant importance to Shareholders who do not hold Shares in their own name. Only Registered Shareholders or the persons they appoint as their proxies are permitted to vote at the Meeting . Registered Shareholders are holders whose names appear on the share register of the Company and are not held in the name of a brokerage firm, bank or trust company through which the shares are purchased. Most Shareholders are “non-registered” shareholders (“ Non-Registered Shareholders ” or “ Beneficial 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 the shares were purchased. Non-Registered Shareholders’ Shares will more likely be registered under the names of intermediaries (each an “ Intermediary ” or “ Intermediaries ”). In Canada the vast majority of such Shares are registered 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), and in the United States, 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).

Intermediaries are required to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of meetings of shareholders. Every Intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients.

There are two kinds of Beneficial Shareholders: those who object to their name being disclosed to the issuers of securities they own (called “ OBOs ” for Objecting Beneficial Owners); and those who do not object (called “ NOBOs ” for Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners).

Issuers can request and obtain a list of their NOBOs from Intermediaries via their transfer agents, pursuant to National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (“ NI 54-101 ”) and issuers can use the NOBO list for distribution of proxy-related materials directly to NOBOs. The Company is taking advantage of NI 54-101 provisions permitting it to deliver proxy-related material directly to its NOBOs. As a result, NOBOs can expect to receive a voting instruction form (“ VIF ”) from Computershare Investor Services Inc. (“ Computershare ”), the Company’s transfer agent. The VIF is to be completed and returned to Computershare as set out in the instructions provided on the VIF. Computershare will tabulate the results of the VIFs received from NOBOs and will provide appropriate instructions at the Meeting with respect to the Shares represented by the VIFs they receive. Alternatively, NOBOs may vote following instructions on the voting instruction form, via the internet or by phone.

Beneficial Shareholders who are OBOs should follow their intermediary’s instructions carefully to ensure their Shares are voted at the Meeting. Management of the Company does not intend to pay for intermediaries to forward proxy-related materials or the VIF to OBOs, and in such case an OBO will not receive the materials unless an OBO’s intermediary assumes the cost of delivery.

The securityholder material is being sent to both Registered Shareholders and Non-Registered Shareholders of the Company. If you are a Non-Registered Shareholder, and the Company or its agent sent these materials directly to you, your name, address and information about your holdings of securities, were obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding securities on your behalf.

By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Company (and not the intermediary holding securities on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials to you, and (ii)

2

executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your VIF as specified in the request for voting instructions that was sent to you.

The form of proxy supplied to you by your broker will be similar to the Proxy provided to Registered Shareholders. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the intermediary on how to vote your Shares on your behalf. Most brokers delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“ Broadridge ”) in Canada and in the United States. Broadridge mails a VIF in lieu of a proxy provided by the Company. The VIF will name the same persons as the Company’s Proxy to represent your Shares at the Meeting. You have the right to appoint a person (who need not be a Beneficial Shareholder of the Company), other than any of the persons designated in the VIF, to represent your Shares at the Meeting and that person may be you. To exercise this right, insert the name of your desired representative (which may be you) in the blank space provided in the VIF. The completed VIF must then be returned to Broadridge in accordance with Broadridge’s instructions. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting voting of the Shares to be represented at the Meeting and the appointment of any Shareholder’s representative. If you receive a VIF from Broadridge, the VIF must be completed and returned to Broadridge, in accordance with its instructions, well in advance of the Meeting in order to have your Shares voted, or to have an alternate representative duly appointed to attend the Meeting and vote your Shares at the Meeting.

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.

The enforcement by Shareholders of civil liabilities under United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Company is incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia)(the “ Act ”), as amended, certain of its Directors and its executive officers are residents of Canada and a substantial portion of its assets and the assets of such persons are located outside the United States. Shareholders may not be able to sue a foreign company or its officers or directors in a foreign court for violations of United States federal securities laws. It may be difficult to compel a foreign company and its officers and directors to subject themselves to a judgment by a United States court.

REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES

Any Registered Shareholder who has returned a proxy may revoke it at any time before it has been exercised. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a Registered Shareholder, their attorney authorized in writing or, if the Registered Shareholder is a corporation, a corporation under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized, may revoke a proxy by instrument in writing, including a proxy bearing a later date. The instrument revoking the proxy must be deposited at the registered office of the Company, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or with the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting. Only Registered Shareholders have the right to revoke a proxy. Non-Registered Shareholders who wish to change their vote must, at least seven days before the Meeting, arrange for their Intermediary to revoke the proxy on their behalf.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

The Board of the Company has fixed August 25, 2023 as the record date (the “ Record Date ”) for determination of persons entitled to vote at the Meeting. Only Shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date who either attend the Meeting personally or complete, sign and deliver a proxy in the manner and subject to the provisions described above will be entitled to vote or to have their Shares voted at the Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 8,539,000 Shares without par value issued and outstanding, each carrying the right to one vote. No group of Shareholders has the right to elect a specified number of Directors, nor are there cumulative or similar voting rights attached to the Shares.

To the knowledge of the Company’s Directors and executive officers, no persons or companies beneficially owned, controlled, or directed, directly or indirectly, Shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all outstanding Shares of the Company as of the Record Date.

Stock Options and Other Compensation Securities

No compensation securities were granted or issued to NEOs or directors by the Company or its subsidiaries in the year ended April 30, 2023.

The following table discloses the total amount of compensation securities held by the NEOs and directors as at the Company’s financial year ended April 30, 2023:

Name and Position Number of Options as at April 30, 2023
Andrew Yau, CEO, CFO and Director 250,000

8

Jorge Martinez, Director 175,000

No compensation securities were re-priced, cancelled and replaced, had their term extended, or otherwise materially modified in the Company’s financial year ended April 30, 2023.

Except as described below, there are no restrictions or conditions for converting, exercising or exchanging the compensation securities. As a capital pool company, all stock options granted by the Company has been deposited into an escrow agreement as required by Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange Corporate Finance Manual. The options and any common shares issued prior to the completion by the Company of its qualifying transaction will be released from escrow on the date of the “Final QT Exchange Bulletin”.

No compensation securities were exercised by NEOs and directors during the financial year ended April 30, 2023.

Stock option plans and other incentive plans

The Board adopted an incentive stock option plan for the Company, Existing Plan as defined herein, under which the directors were authorized to grant options to purchase common shares representing up to 10% of the Company’s outstanding common shares as of the date of grant, from to time. At the Meeting, the Company’s shareholders will be asked to re-approve the Existing Plan.

The purpose of the Existing Plan is to attract and motivate directors, officers and employees of and consultants to the Company and its subsidiaries and thereby advance the Company’s interests by affording such persons with an opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Company through the stock options. For further information regarding the terms of the Existing Plan, refer to the heading above “Approval of Stock Option Plan”.

Employment, consulting and management agreements

The Company does not have any contracts, agreements, plans or arrangements that provides for payments to a director or NEO 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’s responsibilities.

Oversight and Description of Director and Named Executive Officer Compensation

The compensation of the Company’s NEOs is determined by the Board. As a capital pool company, the Company is currently prohibited from paying directors, officers or other non-arm's length parties or to persons engaged in investor relations activities pursuant to policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange Corporate Finance Manual until it has completed a qualifying transaction and a final bulletin has been issued by the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company is permitted to reimburse non-arm’s length parties for rent, secretarial services and other general and administrative expenses at fair market value.

As a result, the Company does not have a formal compensation program and relies upon the grant of stock options pursuant to the Existing Plan to provide compensation to the NEOs and directors. Stock option grants are designed to reward the NEOs for success on a similar basis as the shareholders of the Company, but these rewards are highly dependent upon the volatile stock market, much of which is beyond the control of the NEOs.

When new options are granted, the Board takes into account the previous grants of options, the number of stock options currently held, position, overall individual performance, anticipated contribution to the Company’s future success and the individual’s ability to influence corporate and business performance. The purpose of granting such stock options is to assist the Company in compensating, attracting, retaining and motivating the officers, directors and employees of the Company and to closely align the personal

9

interest of such persons to the interest of the shareholders. The exercise price of the stock options granted is determined by the trading price of the Company’s shares at the time of grant.

Compensation for the most recently completed financial year should not be considered an indicator of expected compensation levels in future periods. All compensation is subject to and dependent on the Company’s financial resources and prospects.

Pension Disclosure

The Company does not have any pension or retirement plan which is applicable to the NEOs or directors. The Company has not provided compensation, monetary or otherwise, to any person who now or previously has acted as an NEO of the Company, in connection with or related to the retirement, termination or resignation of such person, and the Company has provided no compensation to any such person as a result of a change of control of the Company.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

General

The term “corporate governance” refers generally to the policies and structure of a board of directors whose members are elected by and are accountable to the Shareholders of a company. 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 they are in the best interests of both the Company and its Shareholders and help to contribute to effective and efficient decisionmaking.

Independence of Directors

Management is nominating three individuals to the Board, all of whom are current directors of the Company. National Instrument 58-101 and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange require that the board of directors of every reporting issuer should be constituted with a majority of individuals who qualify as “independent” directors under NI 52-110, which provides that a director is independent if he or she has no direct or indirect “material relationship” with the Company. The “material relationship” is defined as a relationship which could, in the view of the Board, reasonably interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgement. Two of the current members of the Board are considered “independent” and one member is not considered “independent” within the meaning of NI 52-110, being Andrew Yau, the CEO and CFO of the Company. In discharging their fiduciary duties of care, loyalty and candour, Directors are expected to exercise their business judgment to act in what they reasonably and honestly believe to be the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders free from personal interests. In discharging their duties, when appropriate, the Directors normally are entitled to rely on the Company’s senior executives and its outside advisors, auditors and legal counsel but are also entitled to obtain and consider second opinions where circumstances warrant.

Directors are expected to become and remain informed about the Company and its business, properties, risks and prospects, and are responsible for determining that effective systems are in place for the periodic and timely reporting to the Board on important matters concerning the Company. Directors are required to devote the time needed, and meet as frequently as necessary, to properly discharge their responsibilities.

The Board will ensure it has at all times at least the minimum number of the members of the Board who meet applicable standards of Director independence. For members of the Audit Committee, Director independence is to be determined in accordance with those legal and stock exchange independence standards applicable to the Company’s Audit Committee. For other purposes, the Board will, from time to time, establish independence standards that (i) comply with applicable legal and stock exchange requirements and (ii) are designed to ensure that the Director does not have, directly or indirectly, a financial, legal or other relationship with the Company that would reasonably interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of the Director.

Other Directorship Positions

Each of the following Directors is presently a director of the following issuers that are reporting issuers (or the equivalent) in a jurisdiction of Canada or in a foreign jurisdiction:

Director Name Other Directorship Positions
Robert Giustra Orea Mining Corp. (TSX: OREA)

Board Mandate

The informal mandate of the Board is to oversee the management of the Company, thereby serving the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. Periodic meetings are held by the Board to achieve this mandate.

The Board carries out its responsibilities in accordance with corporate law requirements under the Act, the Company`s Articles and its corporate governance policies described herein.

The Chairman of the Audit Committee is expected to discharge the mandate of the Audit Committee set out in the Audit Committee Charter. A formal position description has not been developed for the CEO.

Orientation and Continuing Education

In accordance with policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange, the Board’s practice is to recruit for the Board only persons with extensive experience in business and public company matters. Prospective new board members are provided a reasonably detailed level of background information, verbal and documentary, on the Company’s affairs and plans prior to obtaining their consent to act as a director.

The Board provides training courses to the directors as needed, to ensure that the Board is complying with current legislative and business requirements.

Ethical Business Conduct

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 consultants, allow the Board to monitor on an ongoing basis the activities of management and to ensure that the highest standard of ethical conduct is maintained. If the Company grows in size and scope, the Board anticipates that it will formulate and implement a formal Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Nomination of Directors

The Board identifies new candidates for board nomination by an informal process of discussion and consensus-building on the need for additional directors, the specific attributes being sought, likely prospects, and timing. Prospective directors are not approached until consensus is reached. This process takes place among the members of the Board.

Compensation

The quantity and quality of the Board compensation is reviewed on an annual basis. At this time, the Company does not believe its size and limited scope of operations requires a formal compensation committee. As a capital pool company, the Company is currently prohibited from paying directors, officers or other non-arm's length parties or to persons engaged in investor relations activities pursuant to policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange Corporate Finance Manual until it has completed a qualifying transaction and a final bulletin has been issued by the TSX Venture Exchange.

See “Statement of Executive Compensation” for additional disclosure.

12

Other Board Committees

Other than the Audit Committee, the Board does not have any standing committees. It is the opinion of the Board that additional committees are not required at this stage of the Company’s development.

Assessments

The Board is in a continual process of evaluating itself, its committees, and its individual Directors. The individual Directors speak regularly both within and outside formal Board meetings for the purposes of discussing the Company’s goals and objectives, and evaluating its success at achieving such goals and objectives. The Board provides oversight and assessment of a number of key items, including: reviewing and approving fundamental operating, financial, and other strategic corporate plans, taking into account, among other things, the opportunities and risks of the business; evaluating the Company’s performance at any given time, including whether corporate resources are being allocated appropriately; evaluating the performance, and overseeing the progress and development of senior management; taking action when required in respect of senior management oversight, including determining promotions, changing responsibilities, terminations, and creating senior management succession plans; overseeing compensation programs; evaluating the Company’s systems for risk identification, assessment and management purposes; approving material transactions and commitments; determining whether the Company’s governance structure allows and encourages the Board to fulfil its responsibilities and obligations; assisting the Company’s senior management and providing guidance on those matters that require Board involvement or oversight; and assessing the overall effectiveness of the Board and its committees.

Individual Board members are expected to observe a high standard and it is the opinion of the Board that this standard is presently being met.
