PERSONS MAKING THE SOLICITATION

This information circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Slave Lake Zinc Corp. (the “Company” ) for use at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held on Wednesday, April 14, 2021 (the “Meeting” ) and any adjournment thereof at the time and place and 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 directors, officers and employees of the Company at nominal cost. All costs of solicitation by Management will be borne by the Company.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

THE PERSONS NAMED IN THE ACCOMPANYING FORM OF PROXY ARE DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY. A SHAREHOLDER DESIRING TO APPOINT SOME OTHER PERSON (WHO NEED NOT BE A SHAREHOLDER) TO REPRESENT HIM 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 AND IN EITHER CASE DELIVERING THE COMPLETED PROXY TO THE OFFICE OF COMPUTERSHARE INVESTOR SERVICES INC., 8[TH] FLOOR, 100 UNIVERSITY AVENUE, TORONTO, ONTARIO, M5J 2Y1, OR BY FAX WITHIN NORTH AMERICA TO 1.866.249.7775 AND OUTSIDE NORTH AMERICA TO 514.982.7555, OR BY TELEPHONE TO 1.866.732.VOTE (8683) OR INTERNET AT WWW.INVESTORVOTE.COM NOT LESS THAN FORTY-EIGHT (48) HOURS (EXCLUDING SATURDAYS, SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS) BEFORE THE TIME OF THE MEETING OR ANY ADJOURNMENT THEREOF.

The instrument of proxy must be signed by the shareholder or by his or her attorney in writing, or, if the shareholder is a corporation, it must either be under its common seal or signed by a duly authorized officer.

A shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it by an instrument in writing delivered to the said office of Computershare Investor Services Inc. at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or to the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment of it, or in any 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.

ADVICE TO BENEFICIAL SHAREHOLDERS

If common shares are registered under the name of a shareholder’s broker or an agent of that broker (rather than in the name of the beneficial shareholder), then such shares can only be voted (for or against resolutions) upon the instructions of the beneficial shareholder. Beneficial shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their common shares are communicated to management by completing and signing a voting information form and returning it to management. The voting instruction

form supplied to beneficial shareholders is identical to the form of proxy provided to registered shareholders.

Beneficial shareholders who complete and return a voting instruction form must indicate thereon the person (usually a brokerage house) who holds their shares as a registered shareholder. However, its purpose is limited to instructing management how to vote as proxy holder of the registered holder. Management will execute the voting instructions as instructed by the beneficial shareholder to the extent that the management of the reporting issuer holds the corresponding proxy.

If a beneficial shareholder wants to attend the Meeting and vote in person, then the beneficial shareholder should write the beneficial shareholder’s name in the place provided for that purpose in the voting instruction form. A beneficial shareholder can also write the name of someone else who he/she/it wishes to attend the meeting and vote on his/her/its behalf. Unless prohibited by law, the person whose name is written in the space provided will have full authority to attend and present matters to the Meeting and vote on all matters that are presented at the Meeting, even if those matters are not set out in the voting instruction form or in this information circular.

The Company is not relying on the “notice-and-access” provisions set out in NI 54-101 to distribute copies of the proxy-related materials in connection with the Meeting. The Company is not sending proxyrelated materials directly to non-objecting beneficial owners (“NOBOs”).

Management of the Company does not intend to pay for intermediaries to deliver to objecting beneficial owners (“OBOs”) under NI 54-101 the meeting materials and Form 54-101F7 Request for Voting Instructions Made by Intermediary . OBOs will not receive the meeting materials and Form 54-101F7 unless the intermediary holding shares on behalf of the OBO assumes the cost of delivery.

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 securities represented by the 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 securities shall be voted accordingly. The form of proxy confers authority upon the named proxyholder with respect to matters identified in the accompanying notice of Meeting.

On any poll, the persons named in the enclosed instrument of proxy will vote the shares in respect of which they are appointed. Where directions are given by the shareholder in respect of voting for or against any resolution, the proxyholder will do so in accordance with such direction.

IF A CHOICE WITH RESPECT TO SUCH MATTERS IS NOT SPECIFIED, IT IS INTENDED THAT THE PERSON DESIGNATED BY MANAGEMENT IN THE FORM OF PROXY WILL VOTE THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THE PROXY IN FAVOUR OF EACH MATTER IDENTIFIED IN THE PROXY AND FOR THE NOMINEES OF MANAGEMENT FOR DIRECTORS AND AUDITOR. AN ALTERNATE PROXYHOLDER HAS DISCRETION TO VOTE THE SHARES AS HE OR SHE CHOOSES.

The enclosed form of proxy when properly completed and delivered and not revoked confers discretionary authority upon the named proxyholder with respect to amendments to or variations in matters identified in the accompanying notice of Meeting and other matters which may properly come before the Meeting.

In order to approve a motion proposed at the Meeting, a majority of greater than 50% of the votes cast will be required (an “Ordinary Resolution ”) unless the motion requires a special resolution, in which case a majority of not less than 66 2/3% of the votes cast will be required. In the event a motion proposed at the Meeting requires disinterested shareholder approval, common shares held by shareholders of the Company who are also “insiders”, as such term is defined under applicable securities laws, will be excluded from the count of votes cast on such motion.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Other than as disclosed in this information circular, no person who is or has been a director or executive officer of the Company at any time since the beginning of the Company's last financial year, or any associate of affiliate of such person, or any person on behalf of whom this solicitation is made, has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

The Company has an authorized capital consisting of an unlimited number of common shares without par value. Wednesday, March 10, 2021 was fixed in advance by the directors as the record date (the “Record Date” ) for the purposes of determining those shareholders entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting. Only those shareholders who were shareholders of record by the Record Date and 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 herein will be entitled to vote or to have their shares voted at the Meeting. As of the date hereof and as at the Record Date, the Company had 33,494,500 common shares issued and outstanding, each such share carrying the right to one (1) vote at the Meeting.

The articles of the Company provide that the quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of shareholders is one person who is, or who represents by proxy, shareholders who, in the aggregate, hold at least five per cent (5%) of the issued shares of the Company entitled to be voted at such meeting. Any persons entitled or required under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) or the Company’s articles to be present at the Meeting are entitled to attend at any general meeting but no such person will be counted in the quorum or be entitled to vote at the Meeting unless he is a shareholder or proxyholder entitled to vote at the Meeting. Unless otherwise indicated, each resolution that will be placed before the Meeting will be an ordinary resolution requiring for its approval a simple majority of the votes cast in respect of the resolution.

To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Company, no person or company beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercises control or direction over, voting securities carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to the voting securities of the Company except as follows:

Name of Shareholder	Number of Common Shares Held	Percentage of Issued and Outstanding Common Shares
Glen Macdonald	4,650,000	13.9%
Ritch Wigham	4,650,000	13.9%
Jaskarn Rai	4,600,000	13.7%
Max Braden	4,506,000	13.5%

FIXING THE NUMBER OF DIRECTORS AND ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Company is requesting shareholder approval to fix the number for which positions exist on the Company’s board at five (5) and, if approved, five (5) directors will be elected at the Meeting. Although management is nominating five (5) individuals to stand for election, the names of further nominees for

directors may come from the floor at the Meeting.

The directors of the Company are elected annually and hold office until the next annual general meeting of shareholders or until their successors are appointed. Unless authority to do so is withheld, the persons designated in the accompanying form of proxy intend to vote for the nominees of management listed below. Management does not contemplate that any of the nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve as a director but if, for any reason, any of them shall be unable or unwilling to serve, it is intended that the proxies given pursuant to this solicitation will be voted for a substitute nominee or nominees selected by management, unless authority to vote the proxies in the election of directors is withheld.

Oversight and Description of Director and NEO Compensation

At its present stage of development, the Company does not have any formal objectives, criteria and analysis for determining the compensation of its Named Executive Officers and primarily relies on the discussions and determinations of the board of directors. Compensation of Named Executive Officers is mainly expected to be through the grant of incentive stock options while some management fees are expected to be paid.

Cash compensation amounts to executive officers are determined solely by board discussion without any formal objectives, criteria or analysis. Option based awards to executive officers are determined by the board which considers both the past and future expected contributions of the individual officers, previous grants of stock options, and the number of available stock options.

The Company does not have any arrangements, standard or otherwise, for cash or non-cash compensation pursuant to which directors were compensated by the Company for their attendance at board meetings or in their capacity as directors. The directors may be reimbursed for actual expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the performance of their duties as directors. The Board intends to compensate directors primarily through the grant of stock options.

The Company is asking shareholders to re-approve the Company’s stock option plan (the “Plan”). The Plan authorizes the directors to issue options to directors, officers, key employees and others who are in a position to contribute to the future success and growth of the Company.

INDEBTEDNESS OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

At no time during the Company’s last completed financial year, was a director, executive officer, employee, proposed management nominee for election as a director of the Company nor any associate of any such director, executive officer, or proposed management nominee of the Company or any former

15 -

director, executive officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries indebted to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or was indebted to another entity where such indebtedness is or has been the subject of a guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or other similar arrangement or understanding provided by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, other than routine indebtedness.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

National Policy 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 of directors considers that some of the guidelines are not suitable for the Company at its current stage of development and therefore such guidelines have not been adopted. National Instrument 58-101 mandates disclosure of corporate governance practices which disclosure is set out below.

1. Board of Directors

None of the directors are considered “independent” as defined by National Policy 58-101. As the size of the Board is small, the Board has no formal procedures designed to facilitate the exercise of independent supervision over management, relying instead on the integrity of the individual members of its management team to act in the best interests of the Company.

2. Directorships

The following table sets out the directors who are currently directors of other reporting issuers in all Canadian and foreign jurisdictions:

Name of Director	Name of Other Reporting Issuer	Exchange Traded On
Glen Macdonald	Golden Cariboo Resources Ltd.	TSX
	Shoshoni Gold Ltd.	TSX
	Pistol Bay Mining Inc.	TSX
	LeenLife Pharma International Inc.	CSE
	Columbus Energy Limited	TSXV
	Blind Creek Resources Inc.	TSXV
	Global Li Ion Graphite Corp.	CSE
	Engineer Gold Mines	TSXV
	Klondike Silver Corp.	TSXV

3. Orientation and Continuing Education

The Board of Directors of the Company briefs all new directors with respect to the policies and guidelines of the Board of Directors and other relevant corporate and business information. New Board members are also provided with copies of the Company's audit committee charter, corporate governance guidelines and published insider trading policies, access to all of the publicly filed documents of the Company and complete access to management, the Company’s records and the Company’s professional advisors including auditor and legal counsel.

Board members are encouraged to communicate with management and auditors, to keep themselves current with industry trends and developments and changes in legislation with the Company’s assistance, to attend industry seminars and to visit the Company’s operations.

16 -

The Board’s continuing education is typically derived from correspondence with the Company’s legal counsel to remain up to date with developments in relevant corporate and securities law matters. The Board does not provide any continuing education.

4. 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. The Board monitors the ethical conduct of the Company and ensures that it complies with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, such as those of relevant securities commissions and stock exchanges but, to date, has not adopted a formal written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

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. Further, the Company’s auditor has full and unrestricted access to the audit committee at all times to discuss the audit of the Company’s financial statements and any related findings as to the integrity of the financial reporting process. The current limited size of the Company’s operations and the small number of officers and consultants 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.

5. Nomination of Directors

The Board has responsibility for identifying and assessing potential Board candidates and recommending new director nominees for the next annual meeting of shareholders. Recruitment of new directors has generally resulted from recommendations made by directors, management and shareholders. The Board assesses potential Board candidates to fill perceived needs on the Board for required skills, expertise, independence and other factors. The Company nominates Board members it considers to be ethical.

Generally, the Board of Directors seeks nominees that have the following characteristics: a track record in general business management, special expertise in an area of strategic interest to the Company, the ability to devote the required time, support for the Company’s mission and strategic objectives, and a willingness to serve.

6. Compensation

The Board of Directors reviews the compensation of the directors and the Chief Executive Officer once a year. To make its recommendations on such compensation, the Board of Directors takes into account the types of compensation and the amounts paid to directors and officers of comparable publicly traded Canadian companies, as well as the success of the directors and officers in helping the Company to achieve its objectives and the Company’s financial resources.

7. Other Board Committees

The Board of Directors has no other committees other than the Audit Committee.

8. Assessments

The Board does not consider that formal assessments would be useful at this stage of the Company’s development. The Board conducts informal periodic assessments of the effectiveness of the Board, its

17 -

committees and the individual directors to satisfy itself that they are performing effectively. The assessment of the Board relates to the ongoing governance and operation of the Board and its effectiveness in discharging its responsibilities. The assessment of individual directors is comprised of an examination of each individual director’s ability to contribute to the effective decision-making of the Board.

PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Stock Option Plan

Management of the Company believes that incentive stock options serve an important function in furnishing directors, officers, employees and consultants (collectively the “Eligible Parties” ) of the Company an opportunity to invest in the Company in a simple and effective manner and better aligning the interests of the Eligible Parties with those of the Company and its shareholders through ownership of shares in the Company. Accordingly, at the Meeting the shareholders will be asked to consider, and the directors, believing it to be in the best interests of the Company, recommend that the shareholders reapprove, the Company's stock option plan (the “Plan”) and the allotment and reservation of sufficient common shares from treasury to provide the shares necessary for issuance upon the exercise from time to time of options granted pursuant to the Plan.

The Plan is in the form of a rolling stock option plan reserving for issuance upon the exercise of options granted pursuant to the Plan a maximum of 15% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at any time, less any shares required to be reserved with respect to options granted by the Company prior to the implementation of the Plan. The Plan will be administered by a committee of at least three directors, if so appointed by the board, or, if no such committee has been authorized or appointed, the board of directors of the Company (the “Committee” ). Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee in its sole discretion will determine all options to be granted pursuant to the Plan, the exercise price therefore and any special terms or vesting provisions applicable thereto. The Committee will comply with all regulatory requirements in granting options and otherwise administering the Plan. A summary of some of the additional provisions of the Plan follows:

(i) the number of securities reserved for issuance under options to acquire the securities granted to Related Persons, Employees and Consultants (all capitalized terms as defined in the Plan) shall not exceed 15% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company calculated at the date the Option was granted;
(ii) the number of securities reserved for issuance under options to acquire the securities granted to any one person shall not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company calculated at the date the Option was granted;
(iii) Options granted to any one Consultant to the Company as a total in any twelve-month period shall not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company calculated at the date the Option was granted;
(iv) in any twelve-month period the total number of Shares (either issued directly or represented by Grants in that period or represented by convertible securities issued in that period) provided as compensation to persons providing investor relations activities shall not exceed 1% of the issued Shares calculated at the date the Option was granted;
(v) Options granted shall be non-assignable and not transferable and shall not have a term in excess of ten years;
(vi) all Options granted shall be evidenced by written option agreements; and
(vii) any amendment to reduce the exercise price of options granted to Related Persons of the Company shall be subject to approval of the disinterested shareholders of the Company, the majority vote of the shareholders other than the Related Persons to whom Options may be granted under the Plan and their Associates.

A copy of the Plan will be available at the Meeting for review by shareholders, if requested.

Therefore, shareholders will be asked to approve the following resolution, by way of disinterested shareholder approval:

19 -

“BE IT RESOLVED, AS AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION OF DISINTERESTED SHAREHOLDERS, THAT:

(1) the Company’s stock option plan, dated June 21, 2018, be and is hereby ratified, approved and confirmed including the reserving for issuance under the stock option plan at any time of a maximum of 15% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company, subject to any amendments that may be required by any applicable stock exchange or regulatory authority;
(2) the Company be authorized to abandon or terminate all or any part of the stock option plan if the Board of the Company deems it appropriate and in the best interests of the Company to do so;
(3) the Company be and is hereby authorized to grant options pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions of the stock option plan;
(4) the Company be and is hereby authorized, at the discretion of the board of directors, to amend the exercise price of any previously granted stock option agreements, without further approval by the shareholders, all in accordance with the terms of the stock option plan and the policies of any applicable stock exchange; and
(5) any one or more of the directors and officers of the Company be authorized and directed to perform all such acts, deeds and things and execute, under the seal of the Company or otherwise, all such documents and other writings, including treasury orders, stock exchange and securities commissions forms, as may be required to give effect to the true intent of this resolution."

The directors of the Company believe the Plan is in the Company's best interests and recommend that the shareholders re-approve the Plan. It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed instrument of proxy, if not expressly directed otherwise in such instrument of proxy, to vote such proxies FOR the ordinary resolution to re-approve the Plan.

OTHER MATTERS

MANAGEMENT KNOWS OF NO OTHER MATTERS TO COME BEFORE THE MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH ABOVE AND AS REFERRED TO IN THE NOTICE OF MEETING. HOWEVER, IF ANY OTHER MATTERS WHICH ARE NOT KNOWN TO THE MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY SHALL PROPERLY COME BEFORE THE SAID MEETING, THE FORM OF PROXY GIVEN PURSUANT TO THE SOLICITATION BY MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY WILL BE VOTED ON SUCH MATTERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BEST JUDGMENT OF THE PERSONS VOTING THE PROXY.
