INFORMATION CIRCULAR

(As at May 6, 2026, except as indicated)

Spark Energy Minerals Inc. (the "Company") is providing this Information Circular and a form of proxy in connection with management's solicitation of proxies for use at the Annual General Meeting (the "Meeting") of the Company to be held on Wednesday, June 10, 2026 and at any adjournments. The Company will conduct its solicitation by mail and officers and employees of the Company may, without receiving special compensation, also telephone or make other personal contact. The Company will pay the cost of solicitation.

Appointment of Proxyholders

The purpose of a proxy is to designate persons who will vote the proxy on a shareholder's behalf in accordance with the instructions given by the shareholder in the proxy. Fernando Tallarico, whose name is printed in the enclosed form of proxy, is President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director of the Company, and Jonathan Victor Hill, whose name is printed in the enclosed form of proxy, is Vice President, Exploration and a Director of the Company (the "Management Proxyholders").

A shareholder has the right to appoint a person other than a Management Proxyholder, to represent the shareholder at the Meeting by striking out the names of the Management Proxyholders and by inserting the desired person's name in the blank space provided or by executing a proxy in a form similar to the enclosed form. A proxyholder need not be a shareholder.

VOTING BY PROXY

Only registered shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Shares represented by a properly executed proxy will be voted or be withheld from voting on each matter referred to in the 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 also gives discretionary authority to the person 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 Information 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, Odyssey Trust Company, 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.

If you are a registered Shareholder and would like to vote your proxy, please use one of the methods set out below:

  1. To Vote Your Proxy Online: please visit https://vote.odysseytrust.com and click on LOGIN. You will require the CONTROL NUMBER printed with your address to the right on your proxy form. If you vote by Internet, do not mail this proxy; or
  2. By mail or personal delivery: Odyssey Trust Company, Attn: Proxy Department, Suite 1100, 67 Yonge St., Toronto, ON M5E 1J8; or
  3. By fax: Odyssey Trust Company, to the attention of the Proxy Department at 1-800-517-4553 (toll free within Canada and the U.S.) or 416-263-9524 (international);

Non-registered shareholders who receive these materials through their broker or other intermediary are requested to follow the instructions for voting provided by their broker or intermediary, which may include the completion and delivery of a voting instruction form.

NON-REGISTERED HOLDERS

Only shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of shares 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 instead registered in the name of a nominee such as a brokerage firm through which they purchased the shares; bank, trust company, trustee or administrator of self-administered RRSP's, RRIF's, RESP's and similar plans; or clearing agency such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited (a "Nominee"). If you purchased your shares through a broker, you are likely a non-registered holder.

In accordance with securities regulatory policy, the Company has distributed copies of the Meeting materials, being the Notice of Meeting, this Information Circular and the Proxy, to the Nominees for distribution to non-registered holders.

Nominees are required to forward the Meeting materials to non-registered holders to seek their voting instructions in advance of the Meeting. Shares held by Nominees can only be voted in accordance with the instructions of the non-registered holder. The Nominees often have their own form of proxy, mailing procedures and provide their own return instructions. If you wish to vote by proxy, you should carefully follow the instructions from the Nominee in order that your Shares are voted at the Meeting.

If you, as a non-registered holder, wish to vote at the Meeting in person, you should appoint yourself as proxyholder by writing your name in the space provided on the request for voting instructions or proxy provided by the Nominee and return the form to the Nominee in the envelope provided. Do not complete the voting section of the form as your vote will be taken at the Meeting.


  • 3 -

Non-registered holders who have not objected to their Nominee disclosing certain ownership information about themselves to the Company are referred to as "non-objecting beneficial owners ("NOBOs"). Those non-registered holders who have objected to their Nominee disclosing ownership information about themselves to the Company are referred to as "objecting beneficial owners" ("OBOs").

The Company is sending the Meeting materials directly to NOBOs in connection with the Meeting.

The Company does not intend to pay for Nominees to deliver the Meeting materials and Form 54-101F7 – Request for Voting Instructions Made by Intermediary to OBOs. As a result, OBOs will not receive the Meeting Materials unless their Nominee assumes the costs of delivery.

NOTICE-AND-ACCESS

The Company is not sending the Meeting materials to shareholders using "notice-and-access", as defined under NI 54-101.

REVOCABILITY OF PROXY

In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a shareholder, his or her attorney authorized in writing or, if the 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.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares without par value (the "Shares"), of which 198,781,243 Shares are issued and outstanding. Persons who are registered shareholders at the close of business on May 6, 2026 will be entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting and will be entitled to one vote for each Share held. The Company has only one class of shares.

To the knowledge of the Directors and executive officers of the Company, no person beneficially owns, controls or directs, directly or indirectly, Shares carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to all shares of the Company.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND AUDITORS' REPORT

The audited financial statements of the Company (the "Financial Statements") for the year ended July 31, 2025, and the auditors' report thereon, will be tabled before the Shareholders at the Meeting. The audited financial statements have been approved by the audit committee and the Board of Directors. The Financial Statements can also be found under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. No vote by the Shareholders is required to be taken with respect to the Financial Statements.

Exercise of Compensation Securities

There were no compensation securities exercised by any Director and Named Executive Officer in the most recently completed financial year.

Stock Option Plan and Other Incentive Plan

Stock Option Plan

The Company has adopted the Plan pursuant to which the Board may, from time to time, grant Options to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The number of Common Shares granted under each Option and the vesting terms thereof are at the discretion of the Board.

Pursuant to the Option Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that can be reserved for issuance, and all of the Company's other previously established and outstanding securities-based compensation plans or grants, including the RSU/DSU Plan, is 10% of the Company's issued Common Shares at the time of the grant of the option, and:

(i) no one Participant may be granted an option if that option would result in the total number of stock options granted to that Participant in any 12-month period exceeding 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares unless the Company has first obtained an approval of a majority of the votes cast by the Company's Shareholders (the "Disinterested Shareholders"), being a Shareholder vote excluding those votes attaching to the Common Shares of the beneficially owned by: (A) Related Persons of the Company (including its directors and officers) to whom


  • 9 -

securities-based compensation may be granted under the Option Plan; and (B) Associates and Affiliates of such persons (as such terms are defined in the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (a "Disinterested Shareholder Approval");

(ii) the aggregate number of options granted to any one consultant in any 12-month period must not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding common shares, calculated at the time of grant unless the Company has first obtained a Disinterested Shareholder Approval;

(iii) the Option Plan prohibits the granting of options to anyone conducting Investor Relations Activities, as defined in the policies of the CSE, unless permitted by securities laws; and

(iv) the Company's Board of Directors will be permitted to make certain amendments to the Option Plan following its approval by shareholders at the Meeting, principally being any amendments as may be necessary to bring the Option Plan into compliance with applicable securities and corporate laws and CSE policies, without a further shareholder approval.

Options granted under the Plan must have a term of no more than five years from the date of grant. The exercise price of each Option granted under the Plan is at the discretion of the Board, provided that the exercise price cannot be below the closing price of the Common Shares on the CSE on the last trading day before the date of grant.

Any outstanding Options granted under the Plan expire on a date not exceeding 90 days following the date that the holder ceases to be an officer, director, employee or consultant of the Company, as the case may be, except in the case of death in which case the Options expire one year from the date of death. Options granted under the Plan are non-assignable and non-transferable. Outstanding Options granted under the Plan may be adjusted in certain events, as to exercise price (subject to disinterested Shareholder approval prior to any reduction to the exercise price if the affected optionee is an insider (as defined in the Securities Act (British Columbia)) of the Company at the time of the proposed amendment) and number of Common Shares, to prevent dilution or enlargement. The number of Common Shares that may be optioned under the Plan is limited to 10% of the outstanding Common Shares from time to time.

RSU/DSU Plan

The Company has adopted Restricted Share Unit Plan (the "RSU Plan"). The Board intends to use restricted share units ("Restricted Share Units") issued under the RSU Plan, as well as options issued under the Stock Option Plan, as part of the Company's overall executive compensation plan. Since the value of Restricted Share Units increase or decrease with the price of the Common Shares, Restricted Share Units achieve the compensation objective of aligning the interests of executives with those of Shareholders. In addition, Restricted Share Units have both time-based and performance-based vesting features that can be used to better motivate executives and to encourage qualified and experienced executives to make long-term commitments to the Company.

Pursuant to the RSU Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that can be reserved for issuance, and all of the Company's other previously established and outstanding securities-based compensation plans or grants, including the Stock Option Plan, is 10% of the Company's issued Common Shares at the time of the grant of the option, and:

(i) the maximum number of Common Shares issuable to any one Participant, in any 12 month period pursuant to Restricted Share Units granted under the RSU/DSU Plan, when aggregated with security based compensation grants under any other security based compensation plans of the


  • 10 -

Company, is 5% of the total number of Common Shares outstanding and in the aggregate at such time;

(ii) the maximum number of Common Shares issuable to insiders as a group at any time, pursuant to Restricted Share Units granted under the RSU/DSU Plan, when aggregated with security based compensation grants under any other security based compensation plans of the Company, is 10% of the total number of Common Shares outstanding at the proposed grant date;

(iii) the maximum number of Common Shares issuable to insiders as a group, within any 12 month period, pursuant to Restricted Share Units granted under the RSU/DSU Plan, when aggregated with security based compensation grants under any other security based compensation plans of the Company, is 10% of the total number of Common Shares outstanding at the proposed grant date; and

(iv) the maximum number of Common Shares issuable to any one eligible consultant, within any 12 month period, pursuant to Restricted Share Units granted under the RSU/DSU Plan, when aggregated with security based compensation grants under any other security based compensation plans of the Company, is 2% of the total number of Common Shares outstanding at the proposed grant date.

Subject to the foregoing, in the event of:

(i) the death of a Participant, all unvested Restricted Share Units credited to the Participant will vest on the date of the Participant's death. The Common Shares underlying the Restricted Share Units credited to the Participant's account shall be issued to the Participant's estate as soon as practicable thereafter;

(ii) the total disability of a Participant, all unvested Restricted Share Units credited to the Participant will vest on the date on which the Participant is determined to be totally disabled, and the Common Shares underlying such Restricted Share Units credited to the Participant's account shall be issued to the Participant as soon as practicable thereafter;

(iii) the termination (with or without cause) or retirement of an employee or officer, any cessation of services of a consultant, or the resignation, removal of or failure to re-elect a director, then, except as provided for in the vesting provisions or other terms of the Restricted Share Unit grant, or as determined by the Board, all Restricted Share Units will be forfeited by the Participant, and be of no further force and effect; and

(iv) a Change of Control, all Restricted Share Units outstanding shall immediately vest on the date of such Change of Control notwithstanding any stated vesting period or performance condition. In any event, upon a Change of Control, Participants shall not be treated any more favourably than shareholders of the Company with respect to the consideration that the Participants would be entitled to receive for the Common Shares underlying the Restricted Share Units.

Employment, Consulting and Management Agreements

Pursuant to a technical services consulting agreement between the Company and Exploration Outcomes & Participações Ltda. dated June 1, 2024 (the "Effective Date"), the Company engaged the services of Jonathan Victor Hill to act as the Company's Vice President, Exploration and agreed to pay Mr. Hill a fee of $7,500 per month (the "Base Fee"), provided that the Base Fee be increased on the three-month anniversary of the Effective Date to $10,000 per month.

Oversight and Description of Director and NEO Compensation

The Board is responsible for determining, by way of discussions at Board meetings, the compensation to be paid to the Company's executive officers and directors. In assessing the compensation of its directors and executive officers, including the NEOs, the Company does not have in place any formal objectives, criteria or analysis; however, the performance of each individual is considered along with the Company's ability to pay compensation and its results of operation for the period.

Compensation payable to executive officers and directors will be approved by the full Board, on an annual basis. The Company has not established any specific performance criteria or goals to which total compensation or any significant element of total compensation to be paid to any NEO is dependent. NEOs' performance is reviewed in light of the Company's objectives from time to time and such officers' compensation is also compared to that of executive officers of companies of similar size and stage of development in the mining industry.

Future compensation to be awarded or paid to the Company's directors and/or executive officers, including NEOs, once the Company is expected to consist primarily of management fees or salary, stock options and bonuses. In the meantime, payments may be made from time to time to executive officers, including NEOs, or companies they control for the provision of consulting or management services. Such services will be paid for by the Company at competitive industry rates for work of a similar nature by reputable arm's length services providers. In addition, it is anticipated that the Board may award bonuses, in its sole discretion, to executive officers, including NEOs, from time to time. Any compensation paid to the Company's NEOs is dependent upon the Company's finances as well as the performance of each of the NEOs.

The Company does not have a compensation committee or any formal compensation policies at this time.

Pension Plan Benefits

The Company does not have a pension plan that provides for payments or benefits to the Named Executive Officers at, following, or in connection with retirement. The Company has no defined benefit or actuarial plans.

Reliance on Certain Exemptions

At no time since the commencement of the Company's most recently completed financial year has the Company relied on the exemption in Section 2.4 of NI 52-110 (De Minimis Non-audit Services), or an exemption from NI 52-110, in whole or in part, granted under Part 8 of NI 52-110.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee has adopted specific policies and procedures for the engagement of non-audit services as described in the Audit Committee Charter.

External Auditor Service Fees

The aggregate fees billed by the Company's external auditor in each of the last two financial years for audit and other fees are as follows:

Financial Year Ending July, 31 Audit Fees Audit-Related Fees Tax Fees All Other Fees
2025 $45,000 $nil $nil $nil

Exemption in Section 6.1 of NI 52-110

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

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 considers that some of


  • 15 -

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 mandates disclosure of corporate governance practices which disclosure is set out below.

Independence of Members of Board

The Company's Board consists of three Directors, one of whom is independent based upon the tests for independence set forth in NI 52-110. Sead Hamzagic is independent. Fernando is not independent as he is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Jonathan Victor Hill is not independent as he is the Vice President Exploration of the Company.

Management Supervision by Board

The operations of the Company do not support a large Board of Directors and the Board has determined that the current constitution of the Board is appropriate for the Company's current stage of development. Independent supervision of management is accomplished through choosing management who demonstrate a high level of integrity and ability and having strong independent Board members. The independent Directors are however able to meet at any time without any members of management including the non-independent Directors being present. Further supervision is performed through the audit committee which is composed of a majority of independent Directors who meet with the Company's auditors without management being in attendance.

Risk Management

The Board of Directors is responsible for adoption of a strategic planning process, identification of principal risks and implementing risk management systems, succession planning and the continuous disclosure requirements of the Company under applicable securities laws and regulations.

The Audit Committee is responsible for the risk management items set out in the Audit Committee Charter.

Participation of Directors in Other Reporting Issuers

The participation of the Directors in other reporting issuers is described in the table provided under "Election of Directors" in this Information Circular.

Orientation and Continuing Education

While the Company does not have formal orientation and training programs, new Board members are provided with:

  1. information respecting the functioning of the Board of Directors, committees and copies of the Company's corporate governance policies;
  2. access to recent, publicly filed documents of the Company, technical reports and the Company's internal financial information;
  3. access to management and technical experts and consultants; and
  4. a summary of significant corporate and securities responsibilities.

  • 16 -

Board members are encouraged to communicate with management, auditors and technical consultants; to keep themselves current with industry trends and developments and changes in legislation with management's assistance; and to attend related industry seminars and visit the Company's operations. Board members have full access to the Company's records.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board views good corporate governance as an integral component to the success of the Company and to meet responsibilities to shareholders. The Board has adopted a Code of Conduct and has instructed its management and employees to abide by the Code.

Nomination of Directors

The Board has responsibility for identifying potential Board candidates. The Board assesses potential Board candidates to fill perceived needs on the Board for required skills, expertise, independence and other factors. Members of the Board and representatives of the resource exploration industry are consulted for possible candidates.

Compensation of Directors and the CEO

The independent Director is Sead Hamzagic. This Director has the responsibility for determining compensation for the Directors and senior management.

To determine compensation payable, the independent Directors review compensation paid for Directors and CEOs of companies of similar size and stage of development in the mining sector and determines an appropriate compensation reflecting the need to provide incentive and compensation for the time and effort expended by the Directors and senior management while taking into account the financial and other resources of the Company. In setting the compensation, the independent Directors annually review the performance of the CEO in light of the Company's objectives and consider other factors that may have impacted the success of the Company in achieving its objectives.

Board Committees

As the Directors are actively involved in the operations of the Company and the size of the Company's operations does not warrant a larger Board of Directors, the Board has determined that additional committees are not necessary at this stage of the Company's development.

Assessments

The Board does not consider that formal assessments would be useful at this stage of the Company's development. The Board conducts informal annual assessments of the Board's effectiveness, the individual Directors and each of its committees. To assist in its review, the Board conducts informal surveys of its Directors.

Nomination and Assessment

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 President and CEO. The Board monitors but does


  • 17 -

not formally assess the performance of individual Board members or committee members or their contributions.

Expectations of Management

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.
