STEADRIGHT CRITICAL MINERALS INC.
1 Crescent Road, Suite 216
Huntsville, Ontario P1H 1Z6

INFORMATION CIRCULAR (As of Sept 24, 2025, except as indicated)

GENERAL INFORMATION RESPECTING THE MEETING

Solicitation of Proxies

This information circular (the “Circular”) is provided in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management (the “Management”) of STEADRIGHT CRITICAL MINERALS INC. (the “Company”). The form of proxy which accompanies this Circular (the “Proxy”) is for use at the annual general and special meeting of the shareholders of the Company to be held on October 29, 2025, at 10:00 am EST (the “Meeting”). The solicitation will be made by mail.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXY

The persons named in the Proxy are directors and/or officers of the Company. A registered shareholder who wishes to appoint some other person to serve as their representative at the Meeting may do so by striking out the printed names and inserting the desired person’s name in the blank space provided. The completed Proxy should be delivered to Odyssey Trust Company, Transfer Agent (“Odessey Trust”) by 10:00 a.m. (local time in Toronto, Ontario) on Thursday, October 27, 2025 or before 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before any adjournment of the Meeting at which the Proxy is to be used.

The Proxy may be revoked by:

(a) signing a proxy with a later date and delivering it at the time and place noted above.

(b) signing and dating a written notice of revocation and delivering it to or by transmitting a revocation by telephonic or electronic means, to Odyssey Trust, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment of it, at which the Proxy is to be used, or delivering a written notice of revocation and delivering it to the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or adjournment of it; or

(c) attending the Meeting or any adjournment of the Meeting and registering with the scrutineer as a shareholder present in person.

Provisions Relating to Voting of Proxies

The shares represented by Proxy in the form provided to shareholders will be voted or withheld from voting by the designated holder in accordance with the direction of the registered shareholder appointing him. If there is no direction by the registered shareholder, those shares will be voted for all proposals set out in the Proxy and for the election of directors and the appointment of the auditors as set out in this Circular. The Proxy gives the person named in it the discretion to vote as such person sees fit on any amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting, or any other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the time of printing of this Circular, the Management of the Company knows of no other matters which may come before the Meeting other than those referred to in the Notice of Meeting.

Advice to 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 hold their common shares through their brokers, intermediaries, trustees or other persons, or who otherwise do not hold their common shares in their own name (referred to herein as “Beneficial Shareholders”) should note that only proxies deposited by shareholders who appear on the records maintained by the Company’s registrar and transfer agent as registered holders of common shares will 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 those common shares will, in all


likelihood, not be registered in the shareholder's name. Such common shares will more likely be registered under the name of the shareholder's broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). In the United States, the vast majority of such common shares are registered under the name of Cede & Co., the registration name for The Depository Trust Company, which acts as nominee for many United States brokerage firms. Common shares held by brokers (or their agents or nominees) on behalf of a broker's client can only be voted or withheld at the direction of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, brokers and their agents and nominees are prohibited from voting shares for the broker's clients. Therefore, each Beneficial Shareholder should ensure that voting instructions are communicated to the appropriate person well in advance of the Meeting.

Existing regulatory policy requires brokers and other intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholder meetings. The various brokers and other intermediaries have their own mailing procedures and provide their own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their common shares are voted at the Meeting. The form of instrument of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker (or the agent of the broker) is substantially similar to the instrument of proxy provided directly to registered shareholders by the Company. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered shareholder (i.e., the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The vast majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. ("Broadridge") in Canada. Broadridge typically prepares a machine-readable voting instruction form ("VIF"), mails those forms to Beneficial Shareholders, and asks Beneficial Shareholders to return the VIFs 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 shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder who receives a Broadridge VIF cannot use that form to vote common shares directly at the Meeting. The VIFs must be returned to Broadridge (or instructions respecting the voting of common shares must otherwise be communicated to Broadridge) well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the common shares voted. If you have any questions respecting the voting of common shares held through a broker or other intermediary, please contact that broker or other intermediary for assistance.

The Notice of Meeting, Circular, Proxy, and VIF, as applicable, are being provided 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 ("OBOs") and those who do not object to their identity being made known to the issuers of the securities which they own ("NOBOs"). Subject to the provisions of National Instrument 54-101 - Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer ("NI 54-101"), issuers may request and obtain a list of their NOBOs from intermediaries directly or via their transfer agent and may obtain and use the NOBO list for the distribution of proxy-related materials directly (not via Broadridge) to such NOBOs. If you are a Beneficial Shareholder and the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name, address, and information about your holdings of common shares have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding the common shares on your behalf.

Pursuant to the provisions of NI 54-101, the Company is providing the Notice of Meeting, Circular and Proxy or VIF, as applicable, to both registered owners of the securities and non-registered owners of the securities. If you are a non-registered owner, and the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities, have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding on your behalf. By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Company (and not the intermediary holding common shares on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (a) delivering these materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the VIF. As a result, if you are a non-registered owner of the securities, you can expect to receive a scannable VIF from Odyssey Trust Transfer Agent. Please complete and return the VIF to Odyssey Trust Company Transfer Agent in the envelope provided or by facsimile.


The Company’s OBOs can expect to be contacted by Broadridge, or their brokers or their broker’s agents as set out above. The Company does not intend to pay for intermediaries to deliver the Notice of Meeting, Circular and VIF to OBOs and accordingly, if the OBO’s intermediary does not assume the costs of delivery of those documents in the event that the OBO wishes to receive them, the OBO may not receive the documentation.

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, a Beneficial Shareholder may attend the Meeting as proxy holder for the registered shareholder and vote the common shares in that capacity. NI 54-101 allows a Beneficial Shareholder who is a NOBO to submit to the Company or an applicable intermediary any document in writing that requests that the NOBO or a nominee of the NOBO be appointed as proxy holder. If such a request is received, the Company or an intermediary, as applicable, must arrange, without expenses to the NOBO, to appoint such NOBO or its nominee as a proxy holder and to deposit that proxy within the time specified in this Circular, provided that the Company or the intermediary receives such written instructions from the NOBO at least one business day prior to the time by which proxies are to be submitted at the Meeting, with the result that such a written request must be received by 10:30 a.m. (Toronto time) on the day which is at least three business days prior to the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder who wishes to attend the Meeting and to vote their common shares as proxy holder for the registered shareholder, should enter their own name in the blank space on the VIF or such other document in writing that requests that the NOBO or a nominee of the NOBO be appointed as proxy holder and return the same to their broker (or the broker’s agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker.

All references to shareholders in the Notice of Meeting, Circular and the accompanying Proxy are to registered shareholders of the Company as set forth on the list of registered shareholders of the Company as maintained by the registrar and transfer agent of the Company, Odyssey Trust, unless specifically stated otherwise.

As of September 24, 2025, the Company’s authorized capital consists of an unlimited number of common shares of which 40,644,844 common shares are issued and outstanding. All common shares in the capital of the Company carry the right to one vote.

As the Meeting will be held at the physical office of the Company; 216 -1 Crescent Road, Huntsville, Ontario, Shareholders registered as at September 24, 2025, are encouraged to complete, date and sign the form of proxy and return it to Odyssey Trust Company as set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting of Shareholders who wish to be represented by proxy at the Meeting must, to entitle the person appointed by the Proxy to attend and vote, deliver their Proxies at the place and within the time set forth in the notes to the Proxy.

A two-thirds of affirmative votes cast in person or by proxy at the Meeting is required to pass the resolutions described herein as special resolutions.

V. APPROVAL AND RATIFICATION OF STOCK OPTION PLAN

On September 24, 2025, the Board adopted a rolling stock option plan (the "2025 Option Plan"). The number of Common Shares proposed to be granted under the Option Plan is a maximum of 20% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares at the time of grant. At the Meeting, the Shareholders of the Corporation will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, to pass an ordinary resolution (the "Stock Option Plan Resolution") approving the 2025 Option Plan to replace the Corporation's existing stock option plan, ratified August 19, 2024 (the "Past Option Plan").


Background of Stock Option Plan Resolution

On April 3, 2023, the CSE updated certain policies that pertain to security-based compensation arrangements, whereby within three years after institution and within every three years thereafter, a listed issuer much obtain security holder approval for rolling plans, in order to continue granting awards under the plan.

Summary of the Principal Terms of the 2025 Stock Option Plan

The following is a summary of the principal terms of the 2025 Option Plan, which is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the 2025 Option Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule "A", and can be obtained prior to the Meeting by requesting a copy to be sent by post by contacting the Corporation's secretary.

The 2025 Option Plan is a "rolling" stock option plan under which options may be granted to "Eligible Persons" in respect of authorized and unissued Common Shares provided that, the aggregate number of Common shares reserved by the Corporation for issuance and which may be purchased upon the exercise of all options shall not exceed 20% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Corporation at the time of granting of options (on a non-diluted basis). An Eligible Person means any director, officer, employee (part-time or full-time), service provider or consultant of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries. If any option granted under the 2025 Option Plan is surrendered, terminated, expires or is exercised, the Common shares reserved for issuance, or issued, pursuant to such option shall be available for new options granted under the 2025 Option Plan.

The Board of Directors of the Corporation implemented the number of shares which may be issued pursuant to options previously granted and those granted under the 2025 Option Plan is a maximum of 20% of the issued and outstanding shares at the time of the grant. The 2025 Option Plan which sets the number of shares issuable under the plan at a maximum of 20% of the issued and outstanding shares is approved and ratified by shareholders on an annual basis.

Therefore, at the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to pass a resolution in the following form:

"BE IT RESOLVED AS AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION THAT:

  1. The 2025 Option Plan of the Corporation as described in this management information circular of the Corporation dated September 24, 2025, be and it is hereby approved by the shareholders of the Corporation.
  2. The number of common shares of the Corporation issuable pursuant to the 2025 Option Plan shall be set at a maximum of 20% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares at the time of the grant, subject to any limitations imposed by applicable regulations, laws, rules and policies; and
  3. Any director or officer of the Corporation be and is authorized, instructed, and empowered, acting for, in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation, to do or to cause to be done all such other acts and things in the opinion of such director or officer of the Corporation as may be necessary or desirable to satisfy securities and corporate regulators and in order to fulfill the intent of this foregoing resolution."

The full text of the 2025 Option Plan will be available for review at the Meeting.

Approval of Stock Option Plan Resolution

In order to be approved, the Stock Option Plan Resolution must be passed by a simple majority of the votes cast at the Meeting by the Corporation's shareholders who vote in person or by proxy.

Unless otherwise directed, the management designees named in the accompanying Instrument of Proxy intend to vote in favour of the Stock Option Plan Resolution, approving and authorizing the 2025 Option Plan. The Board recommends that the Shareholders vote FOR the Stock Option Plan Resolution at the Meeting.


VI. APPROVAL AND RATIFICATION OF RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT PLAN

On September 24, 2025, the Board implemented and adopted the restricted share unit plan (the "RSU Plan"), reserving for issuance, combined with any equity securities granted under all other compensation arrangements adopted by the Company, including the RSU Plan, a maximum of 20% of the issued and outstanding common shares at the time of grant.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider, and if thought advisable, to pass, by way of an ordinary resolution, approval of the Company’s RSU Plan, for directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company, for a period of three years, a copy of which is attached as Schedule “B” to this Circular.

Approval of RSU Plan Resolution

At the Meeting, Shareholders are being asked to consider and, if thought advisable, approve an ordinary resolution in the following form:

“BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

(1) the RSU Plan, substantially in the form attached at Schedule “B” to the management information circular of the Company dated September 24, 2025, be and the same is hereby ratified, confirmed and approved;

(2) the maximum number of restricted share units of the Company which may be issued under the RSU Plan and the Option Plan taken together shall equal to twenty (20) percent of the then issued and outstanding common shares of the Company from time to time;

(3) any director or officer be and is hereby authorized to amend the RSU Plan of the Company should such amendments be required by applicable regulatory authorities; and

(4) any director or officer of the Company be and is hereby authorized and directed to do and perform all such acts and things and to execute and deliver or cause to be delivered, for, in the name of and on behalf of the Company (whether under the seal of the Company or otherwise) all such agreements, instruments and other documents as in such individual's opinion may be necessary or desirable to perform the terms of this resolution.”

Recommendation of the Board

The Company’s management believes that the approval of the RSU Plan is in the best interest of the Company and recommends that the Shareholders of the Company vote in favour of approving the RSU Plan. To be adopted, this resolution is required to be passed by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the Shareholders at the Meeting.

UNLESS YOU GIVE INSTRUCTIONS OTHERWISE, THE MANAGEMENT PROXYHOLDERS INTEND TO VOTE FOR THE RSU PLAN.

The resolution must be approved by a simple majority approval of the votes cast at the Meeting by the holders of Common Shares. If the RSU Plan is not approved by the Shareholders, the Company will have to consider other methods of compensating and providing incentives to directors, officers, employees and consultants.

Following approval of the RSU Plan by the Company’s Shareholders, further shareholder approval will not be required for RSU grants made under the RSU Plan until October 29, 2028.

VII. APPROVAL OF A NON-BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT

The Company intends to complete a non-brokered private placement, or a number of non-brokered private placements (the “Private Placement”) of up to 200,000,000 units (the “Units”) in the capital of the Company. The price of the Units will be determined in accordance with section 6.2. Private Placements of the CSE’s Policy 6 – Distribution & Corporation Finance. Each Unit will consist of one Common Share and one Common Share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional Common Share for a period of 36 months from the date of issuance, at a price to be determined in accordance with the section 6.7. Option, Warrants and Convertible Securities Other Than Incentive Options or Right of the CSE’s Policy 6 – Distribution & Corporation Finance.


All securities issued under the Private Placement will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day following the closing of the Private Placement. Finder’s fees may be payable in connection with the Private Placement, all in accordance with the policies of the CSE. The proceeds will be used for working capital.

MI 61-101

Certain directors and officers of the Company may acquire Units under the Private Placement. Such participation will be considered to be a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company anticipates replying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in section 5.5(b) and section 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101 in respect of related party participation in the Private Placement as neither the fair market value of the Units to be acquired by the participating directors and officers nor the consideration to be paid by such directors and officers is anticipated to exceed $2,500,000.

No control person, as defined under the CSE’s Policy 1 – Interpretation and General Provisions, will be created as a result of the Private Placement.

Shareholder Approval Requirement

Under section 4.6(2)(a)(i)(2) of the CSE’s Policy 4 – Corporate Governance, Security Holder Approvals and Miscellaneous Provisions, the CSE requires Shareholder approval for a proposed securities offering if the number of securities issuable in the offering (calculated on a fully diluted basis) exceeds 100% of the total number of securities or votes outstanding. Since the Private Placement involves the potential issuance of securities that represents more than 100% of the total number of securities or votes of the Company outstanding on a post-Share Consolidation basis (calculated on a fully diluted basis on a post-Share Consolidation if it’s effected), the Private Placement Resolution must be approved by a simple majority of Shareholders.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought advisable, to pass the ordinary resolution set out herein (the “Private Placement Resolution”).

Private Placement Conditional Upon Decision of the Board

Approval of the Private Placement Resolution by Shareholders would give the Board the authority to implement the Private Placement, at its sole discretion, at any time within one year of the date of Shareholder approval. The full text of the Private Placement Resolution approving the proposed Private Placement is set out below.

Although Shareholder approval for the Private Placement is being sought at the Meeting, the Private Placement would become effective at a date in the future, if and when the Board considers it to be in the best interest of the Company to implement the Private Placement. Notwithstanding the approval of the proposed Private Placement by Shareholders, the Board, in its sole discretion, may revoke the Private Placement Resolution and abandon the Private Placement without further approval by or prior notice to Shareholders.

Approval of Private Placement Resolution

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought advisable, to pass the Private Placement Resolution in substantially the following form:

"BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

  1. the Company be and is hereby authorized to complete a non-brokered private placement, or a number of non-brokered private placements, of up to 200,000,000 units of the Company (the “Units”) (this number reflects the maximum number post-Share Consolidation) at a price to be determined in accordance with the section 6.2. Private Placements of the CSE’s Policy 6 – Distribution & Corporation Finance (the “Private Placement”). Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) and one Common Share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder to acquire one additional Common Share for a period of 36 months from the date of issuance at an exercise price to be determined in accordance with section 6.7. Option, Warrants and Convertible Securities Other Than Incentive Options or Right of the CSE’s Policy 6 – Distribution & Corporation Finance.

  2. any one director or officer of the Company is authorized, for and on behalf of the Company, to execute and deliver all such further agreements, documents, instruments and amendments and to do all such other acts and things as such director or officer may determine to be necessary or advisable for the purpose of giving full force and effect to the provisions of this resolution, the execution and delivery by such director or officer of any such agreement, document, instrument or amendments or the doing of any such act or thing being conclusive evidence of such determination; and


  1. notwithstanding that this resolution has been duly passed by the Shareholders, the Board of the Company be and they are hereby authorized without further approval of the Shareholders, to revoke this resolution and determine not to issue the Units or complete the Private Placement."

Recommendation of the Board

The Board, after consultation with representatives of the Company’s management team, and having taken into account such other matters as it considered necessary and relevant, unanimously determined that the completion of the Private Placement and the issuance of the Units thereunder is in the best interest of the Company to complete the Private Placement. Accordingly, management of the Company recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the Private Placement Resolution.

In order for the Private Placement Resolution to be effective, it must be approved by a resolution passed by a simple majority of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting.

MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE PRIVATE PLACEMENT RESOLUTION. UNLESS YOU GIVE INSTRUCTIONS OTHERWISE, THE MANAGEMENT PROXYHOLDERS INTEND TO VOTE FOR THE PRIVATE PLACEMENT RESOLUTION.

VIII. APPROVAL OF FUTURE ACQUISITION

The Company intends to complete an acquisition, or a number of acquisitions (the “Future Acquisition”) where the Company would issue as consideration for that Future Acquisition up to 200,000,000 Common Shares in the capital of the Company. The deemed price of the Common Shares will be determined in accordance with section 6.2. Private Placements of the CSE’s Policy 6 – Distribution & Corporation Finance.

Securities issued pursuant to the Future Acquisition may be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day following the closing of the Future Acquisition, subject to the policies of the CSE and securities laws. Finder’s fees may be payable in connection with the Future Acquisition, all in accordance with the policies of the CSE.

MI 61-101

Certain directors and officers of the Company may acquire Common Shares as a result of Future Acquisitions, and such participation will be considered to be a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company anticipates replying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in section 5.5(b) and section 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101 in respect of related party participation in the Future Acquisition as neither the Company anticipates that the fair market value of the Common shares issuable or to be acquired by the participating directors and officers nor the consideration to be paid by such directors and officers is anticipated to exceed $2,500,000.

No control person, as defined under the CSE’s Policy 1 – Interpretation and General Provisions, is anticipated to be created as a result of the Future Acquisitions. If a control person is created the Company will comply with the policies of the CSE and securities laws.

Shareholder Approval Requirement

Under section 4.6(3)(a)(ii)(2) of the CSE’s Policy 4 – Corporate Governance, Security Holder Approvals and Miscellaneous Provisions, the CSE requires Shareholder approval if a proposed securities issuance made in conjunction with an acquisition exceeds 100% of the total number of securities or votes outstanding. Since the Future Acquisition involves the potential issuance of securities that represents more than 100% of the total number of securities or votes of the Company outstanding, the Future Acquisition Resolution must be approved by a simple majority of Shareholders.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought advisable, to pass the ordinary resolution set out herein (the “Future Acquisition Resolution”).

Future Acquisition Conditional Upon Decision of the Board

Approval of the Future Acquisition Resolution by Shareholders would give the Board the authority to implement the Future Acquisition, at its sole discretion, at any time within one year of the date of Shareholder approval. The full text of the Future Acquisition Resolution approving the proposed Future Acquisition is set out below.


Although Shareholder approval for the Future Acquisition is being sought at the Meeting, the Future Acquisition would become effective at a date in the future, if and when the Board considers it to be in the best interest of the Company to implement the Future Acquisition. Notwithstanding the approval of the proposed Future Acquisition by Shareholders, the Board, in its sole discretion, may revoke the Future Acquisition Resolution and abandon the Future Acquisition without further approval by or prior notice to Shareholders.

Approval of Future Acquisition Resolution

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought advisable, to pass the Future Acquisition Resolution in substantially the following form:

"BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

  1. the Company be and is hereby authorized to complete an acquisition, or a number of acquisitions (the "Future Acquisition") where the Company would issue as consideration for that Future Acquisition up to 200,000,000 Common Shares in the capital of the Company. The deemed price of the Common Shares will be determined in accordance with section 6.2. Private Placements of the CSE's Policy 6 – Distribution & Corporation Finance.
  2. any one director or officer of the Company is authorized, for and on behalf of the Company, to execute and deliver all such further agreements, documents, instruments and amendments and to do all such other acts and things as such director or officer may determine to be necessary or advisable for the purpose of giving full force and effect to the provisions of this resolution, the execution and delivery by such director or officer of any such agreement, document, instrument or amendments or the doing of any such act or thing being conclusive evidence of such determination; and
  3. notwithstanding that this resolution has been duly passed by the Shareholders, the Board of the Company be and they are hereby authorized without further approval of the Shareholders, to revoke this resolution and determine not to issue the Common Shares or complete the Future Acquisition."

Recommendation of the Board

The Board, after consultation with representatives of the Company's management team, and having taken into account such other matters as it considered necessary and relevant, unanimously determined that the completion of the Future Acquisition and the issuance of the Common Shares thereunder is in the best interest of the Company. Accordingly, management of the Company recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the Future Acquisition Resolution.

In order for the Future Acquisition Resolution to be effective, it must be approved by a resolution passed by a simple majority of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting.

MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE FUTURE ACQUISITION RESOLUTION. UNLESS YOU GIVE INSTRUCTIONS OTHERWISE, THE MANAGEMENT PROXYHOLDERS INTEND TO VOTE FOR THE FUTURE ACQUISITION RESOLUTION.

STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Corporation's compensation philosophy for its "Named Executive Officer" or "NEO" is designed to attract professionally qualified individuals in what is an international market by paying competitive base management fees plus short- and long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock options or other suitable long-term incentives. The Board of Directors meets to discuss and determine executive compensation without reference to formal objectives, criteria, or analysis. In making its determinations regarding the various elements of executive compensation, the Board of Directors does not benchmark its executive compensation program, but from time to time does review compensation practices of companies of similar size and stage of development to ensure the compensation paid is competitive within the Corporation's industry and geographic location while taking into account the financial and other resources of the Corporation.

The duties and responsibilities of the President and CEO are typical of those of a business entity of the Corporation's size in a similar business and include direct reporting responsibility to the Board, overseeing the activities of all other executive and management consultants, representing the Corporation, providing leadership and responsibility for achieving corporate goals and implementing corporate policies and initiatives.


Elements of Compensation

The Corporation’s executive compensation policy consists of an annual base salary and long-term incentives in the form of stock options granted under the Corporation’s 2025 Option Plan.

The base salaries paid to officers of the Corporation are intended to provide fixed levels of competitive pay that reflect each officer’s primary duties and responsibilities, and the level of skill and experience required to successfully perform their role. The Corporation intends to pay base salaries to officers that are competitive with those for similar positions in the mining industry to attract and retain executive talent in the market in which the Corporation competes for talent. Base salaries of officers are reviewed annually by the Board of Directors.

The incentive component of the Corporation’s compensation program is the potential longer-term reward provided through the grant of stock options. The Corporation’s 2025 Option Plan is intended to attract, retain and motivate officers and Directors of the Corporation in key positions, and to align the interests of those individuals with those of the Corporation’s shareholders. The 2025 Option Plan provides such individuals with an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Corporation’s value growth through the exercise of stock options. Options are granted at the discretion of the Board of Directors, which considers factors such as how other junior exploration companies grant options and the potential value that each optionee is contributing to the Corporation. The number of options granted to an individual is based on such considerations. Stock options are granted at an exercise price of not less than the prevailing market price of the Corporation’s shares at the time of the grant, and for a term of exercise not exceeding ten years.

The Corporation has not currently identified specific performance goals or benchmarks as such relate to executive compensation, but from time to time does review compensation practices of companies of similar size and stage of development to ensure the compensation paid is competitive within the Corporation’s industry. The stage of the Corporation’s development and the small size of its specialized management team allow frequent communication and constant management decisions in the interest of developing shareholder value as a primary goal. As the Corporation progresses toward a revenue-producing entity, and performance goals are more apt to be delegated, performance goals will become more complex and measurable, and included in the compensation structure accordingly.

Compensation Policies and Risk Management

The Board of Directors considers the implications of the risks associated with the Corporation’s compensation policies and practices when determining rewards for its officers. The Board of Directors intends to review at least once annually the risks, if any, associated with the Corporation’s compensation policies and practices at such time.

Executive compensation is comprised of short-term compensation in the form of a base salary and long-term ownership through the Corporation’s 2025 Option Plan. This structure ensures that a significant portion of executive compensation (stock options) is both long-term and “at risk” and, accordingly, is directly linked to the achievement of business results and the creation of long-term shareholder value. As the benefits of such compensation, if any, are not realized by officers until a significant period has passed, the ability of officers to take inappropriate or excessive risks that are beneficial to their compensation at the expense of the Corporation and the shareholders is extremely limited. Furthermore, the short-term component of executive compensation (base salary) represents a small part of the total compensation. As a result, it is unlikely an officer would take inappropriate or excessive risks at the expense of the Corporation or the shareholders that would be beneficial to their short-term compensation when their long-term compensation might be put at risk from their actions.

Due to the small size of the Corporation and the current level of the Corporation’s activity, the Board of Directors can closely monitor and consider any risks which may be associated with the Corporation’s compensation policies and practices. Risks, if any, may be identified and mitigated through regular Board meetings during which financial and other information of the Corporation are reviewed. No risks have been identified arising from the Corporation’s compensation policies and practices that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation.

Hedging of Economic Risks in the Corporation’s Securities

The Corporation has not adopted a policy prohibiting Directors or officers from purchasing financial instruments that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of the Corporation’s securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by Directors or officers. However, the Corporation is not aware of any Directors or officers having entered this type of transaction.


Option-Based Awards

The Corporation's 2025 Option Plan has been and will be used to provide share purchase options which are granted in consideration of the level of responsibility of the executive as well as his or her impact or contribution to the longer-term operating performance of the Corporation. In determining the number of options to be granted to the executive officers, the Board takes into account the number of options, if any, previously granted to each executive officer, and the exercise price of any outstanding options to ensure that such grants are in accordance with the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange, and closely align the interests of the executive officers with the interests of shareholders.

The Board of Directors has the responsibility to administer the compensation policies related to the executive management of the Corporation, including option-based awards.

Compensation Governance

Options are granted at the discretion of the Board of Directors, which considers factors such as how other junior exploration companies grant options and the potential value that each optionee is contributing to the Corporation. The number of options granted to an individual is based on such considerations.

Outstanding Share-Based Awards and Option-Based Awards

The Corporation does not have any incentive plans, pursuant to which compensation that depends on achieving certain performance goals or similar conditions within a specified period is awarded, earned, paid or payable to the NEOs.

Pension Plan Benefits

The Corporation does not have a pension plan that provides for payments or benefits to the NEOs at, following, or in connection with retirement.

Termination and Change of Control Benefits

The Corporation has no compensatory plan, contract, or agreement with any NEO.

Incentive Plan Awards - Outstanding Share-Based Awards and Option-Based Awards

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

National Policy 58-201 establishes corporate governance guidelines which apply to all public companies. The Corporation has reviewed its own corporate governance practices considering these guidelines. In certain cases, the Corporation's practices comply with the guidelines, however, the Board considers that some of the guidelines are not suitable for the Corporation 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 Corporation's current Board consists of four Directors, two of whom are independent based upon the tests for independence set forth in National Instrument 52-110 ("NI 52-110"). Simon Chapelle and Gunther Schuhmann are independent.

Management Supervision by Board

The operations of the Corporation do not support a large Board of Directors, and the Board has determined that the current constitution of the Board is appropriate for the Corporation'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 using special committees as required and through the audit committee which is composed of most independent Directors who meet with the Corporation's auditors without management being in attendance. The independent Directors also have access to the Corporation's outside legal counsel as required, and its officers.

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 Corporation under applicable securities laws and regulations.

The audit committee is responsible for the risk management items set out in the audit committee charter.

Orientation and Continuing Education

While the Corporation 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 Corporation's corporate governance policies.
  2. access to recent, publicly filed documents of the Corporation, technical reports, and the Corporation's internal financial information.
  3. access to management and technical experts and consultants; and

  1. summary of significant corporate and securities responsibilities.

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 Corporation’s operations. Board members have full access to the Corporation’s records.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board views good corporate governance as an integral component to the success of the Corporation 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 mineral exploration industry are consulted for possible candidates.

Compensation of Directors and the CEO

The independent Directors are Simon Chapelle and Gunther Schuhmann. These Directors have 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 mineral exploration industry and determine 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 Corporation. In setting the compensation the independent Directors annually review the performance of the CEO considering the Corporation’s objectives and consider other factors that may have impacted the success of the Corporation in achieving its objectives.

Board Committees

The Corporation has an Audit Committee comprised of Matthew Lewis, Gunther Schuhmann and Simon Chapelle. Special Committee’s comprised of independent and non-conflicted Directors are formed to review any proposed non-arms length transactions. The Directors are actively involved in the operations of the Corporation, and the size of the Corporation’s operations does not warrant a larger board of Directors. The Board has determined that additional committees beyond the audit committee and special committee are not necessary at this stage of the Corporation’s development.

Assessments

The Board does not consider that formal assessments would be useful at this stage of the Corporation’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.

Expectations of Management

The Board expects management to operate the business of the Corporation in a manner that enhances shareholder value and is consistent with the highest level of integrity. Management is expected to execute the Corporation’s business plan and to meet performance goals and objectives.

Director Term Limits and Other Mechanisms of Board Renewal


The Board is concerned that imposing inflexible director term limits or mandatory retirement ages would discount the value of experience of the Corporation's history and culture and the importance of continuity and risk the loss of key directors. The Board has therefore elected not to adopt term limits or mandatory retirement policies but rather relies on the collective experience and judgment of its members to determine when changes in the Board are appropriate. Shareholder feedback and voting results are also considered by the Board in this regard.

Diversity Policy

The members of the Board have diverse backgrounds and expertise and were selected on the belief that the Corporation and its stakeholders would benefit from such a broad range of talent and experience. The Board considers merit as the key requirement for board appointments. The Corporation has not adopted a written diversity policy and has sought to attract and maintain diversity at the Board level informally through the recruitment efforts of Management in discussion with directors prior to proposing nominees to the Board for consideration.

Consideration of the Representation of Women on the Board and in Executive Officer Appointments

In identifying suitable Board nominees or in selecting and assessing candidates for executive positions, candidates will be considered on merit against objective criteria regarding business experience, skill sets, competencies, technical expertise, sector specific knowledge and with due regard for the benefit of diversity including the level of representation of women in these capacities. As the need for new directors or executive officers arises, the Board assesses candidates based on industry experience and business acumen with specific knowledge of mineral exploration and development or other areas (such as finance, market experience in other areas) as desired at that time by the Corporation and the Board. Board candidates are also evaluated against the area of expertise of existing members so new appointments may contribute to expanding the Board's breadth of experience.

A majority of the members shall not be officers or employees of the Company and shall be unrelated, independent directors.


Members of the Compensation Committee shall be appointed or reappointed at the meeting of the Board following the Company’s annual general meeting and from among the appointees to the Compensation Committee, the Board shall appoint a chairperson (the “Compensation Committee Chairperson”). The duties of the Compensation Committee Chairperson include overseeing the proper functioning of the Compensation Committee to ensure the proper discharge of its duties, to schedule meetings and to ensure timely reporting to the Board.

Assessments

The Board annually reviews its own performance and effectiveness as well as the effectiveness and performance of its committees. Effectiveness is subjectively measured by comparing actual corporate results with stated objectives. The contributions of individual directors are informally monitored by other Board members, bearing to mind the business strengths of the individual and the purpose of originally nominating the individual to the Board.

The Board monitors the adequacy of information given to directors, communication between Board and Management and the strategic direction and processes of the Board and its committees.

The Board believes its corporate governance practices are appropriate and effective for the Company, given its size and operations. The Company’s corporate governance practices allow the Company to operate efficiently, with checks and balances that control and monitor Management and corporate functions without excessive administration burden.

Other Board Committees

Other than the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee, the Board has no other committees. The directors are regularly informed of or are actively involved in the operations of the Corporation. The scope and size of the Corporation’s operations and development do not currently warrant an increase in the size of the Board or the formation of additional committees; however, the Board periodically examines its size and constitution and may from time to time establish ad hoc committees to deal with specific situations.

Assessments

The Board, as a whole, conducts informal annual assessments of its effectiveness and the effectiveness of individual directors and from time-to-time reviews and updates existing mandates or charters.

Article II
PURPOSE AND PARTICIPATION

2.01 PURPOSE

The purpose of the Plan is to provide the Company with a share-related mechanism to attract, retain and motivate Directors, Employees and Consultants, to reward such of those persons by the grant of Options under the Plan by the Board from time to time for their contributions toward the long term goals of the Company and to enable and encourage such persons to acquire Shares as long term investments.

2.02 PARTICIPATION

The Board shall, from time to time, in its sole discretion determine those Directors, Employees and/or Consultants, if any, to whom Options are to be awarded. If the Board elects to award an Option to a Director or Consultant, the Board shall, in its sole discretion but subject to section 3.2, determine the number of Shares to be acquired on the exercise of such Option. If the Board elects to award an Option to an Employee, the number of Shares to be acquired on the exercise of such Option shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion but subject to section 3.2, and in so doing the Board may take into account the following criteria:

(a) the Employee’s remuneration as at the Award Date in relation to the total remuneration payable by the Company to all of its Employees as at the Award Date;
(b) the length of time that the Employee has provided services to the Company; and
(c) the nature and quality of work performed by the Employee.

In the case of Options awarded to Employees, Consultants or Management Company Employees, the Company will be deemed to have represented that the recipient is a bona fide Employee, Consultant or Management Company Employee.

2.03 NOTIFICATION OF AWARD

Following the approval by the Board of the awarding of an Option, the Option Holder shall be notified of the award and given an Option Certificate representing the Option so awarded.

2.04 COPY OF PLAN

Each Option Holder, concurrently with the notice of the award of the Option, shall be provided with a copy of the Plan. A copy of any amendment to the Plan shall be promptly provided to each Option Holder.

The Plan does not give any Option Holder the right to continue to be employed or engaged by the Company.

(b) in the case of an Option granted after the Shares have been listed on the Exchange, the tenth anniversary of the Award Date of the Option.

3.04 TERMINATION OF OPTION

An Option Holder may exercise an Option in whole or in part at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period provided that, with respect to the exercise of part of an Option, the Board may at any time and from time to time fix a minimum or maximum number of Shares in respect of which an Option Holder may exercise part of any Option held by such Option Holder. Any Option or part thereof not exercised within the Exercise Period shall terminate and become void as of 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the first to occur of the Expiry Date or the Earlier Termination Date. The Earlier Termination Date shall be the date established, if applicable, in subsections (a) or (b) below.

Death

In the event that the Option Holder should die while he or she is still (i) a Director, Consultant or Employee (other than a Consultant or an Employee performing Investor Relations Activities), the Expiry Date shall be 12 months from the date of death of the Option Holder; or (ii) a person performing Investor Relations Activities, the Expiry Date shall be 90 days from the date of death of the Option Holder.

Ceasing to be a Director, Employee or Consultant

In the event that the Option Holder ceases to be a Director, Employee or Consultant other than by reason of death and ceases to be eligible through another capacity to hold an Option, the Expiry Date of the Option shall be the 30th day following the date the Option Holder ceases to be a Director, Employee or Consultant unless any of the following apply:

the Option Holder ceases to meet the qualifications for directors prescribed by the corporate legislation to which the Company is then subject and the Option Holder is not eligible through another capacity to hold an Option;

an order of the Ontario Columbia Securities Commission or other regulatory authority having jurisdiction is made prohibiting the Option Holder from holding an Option,

in which case the Earlier Termination Date shall be the date on which any of the above occurs.

3.05 EXERCISE PRICE

The Exercise Price shall be that price per Share, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, and announced as of the Award Date, at which an Option Holder may purchase a Share upon the exercise of an Option, and if the Shares are then listed on the Exchange, shall not be less than the closing price of the Shares on the Exchange on the day preceding the Award Date, less any discount permitted by the Exchange.

3.09 VESTING

The following provisions regarding vesting shall apply to the Options:

(a) For so long as the Company is not classified as a Tier 1 Issuer or equivalent designation on the Exchange, all Options awarded pursuant to the Plan, except in exceptional circumstances as determined by the Board, must contain conditions relating to the vesting of the right to exercise an Option awarded to any Option Holder, which will provide that the right to purchase the Shares under the Option may not be exercised any earlier than six equal quarterly releases over a period of 18 months from the Award Date.


In the event that the classification of the Company on the Exchange is upgraded to that of a Tier 1 Issuer or equivalent designation, or the Shares are no longer listed on the Exchange, the Board may, in its sole discretion at the time the Option is awarded, but will not be required to, impose conditions relating to the vesting of the right to exercise an Option awarded to any Option Holder. The Board may (but will not be required to) accelerate or remove the vesting provisions applying to previously granted Options.

(b) The Board may grant Options bearing vesting provisions less favourable than those specified in subsections 3.9(a). Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections 3.9(a) and subject to Exchange acceptance, the Board may grant Options bearing vesting provisions more favourable than those specified in subsections 3.9(a).

(c) Option Certificates will disclose vesting conditions which are as specified by the Board.

(d) The vesting schedule in subsection 3.9(a) shall be automatically and immediately accelerated such that all remaining Options will then be available for exercise upon the occurrence of a take over bid which is a formal bid, as those terms are defined under the Securities Act.

> "UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITIES BEFORE [INSERT THE DATE THAT IS FOUR MONTHS AND ONE DAY AFTER THE DATE OF GRANT]."

In addition to any resale restrictions under any Applicable Laws, if the Option Price is set at a Discounted Market Price rather than the Market Price (as defined in Exchange Policies), the Option Agreements and the certificates representing any Shares realized on the exercise thereof will bear the following legend:

> "WITHOUT COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRADED IN CANADA OR TO OR FOR THE BENEFIT OF A CANADIAN RESIDENT UNTIL [INSERT THE DATE THAT IS FOUR MONTHS AND ONE DAY AFTER THE DATE OF GRANT]."

Part 5 – Miscellaneous

Compliance with Applicable Laws

5.1 The issuance by the Company of any Restricted Share Units and its obligation to make any payments hereunder is subject to compliance with all applicable laws. As a condition of participating in this Plan, each Participant agrees to comply with all such applicable laws and agrees to furnish to the Company all information and undertakings as may be required to permit compliance with such applicable laws. The Company will have no obligation under this Plan, or otherwise, to grant any Restricted Share Unit or make any payment under this Plan in violation of any applicable laws.

The Company intends that the Awards and payments provided for in this Plan either be exempt from Section 409A of the Code, or be provided in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code, and any ambiguity herein shall be interpreted so as to be consistent with the intent of this Section 5.1. In no event whatsoever shall the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on the any person by Section 409A of the Code or damages for failing to comply with Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, all payments under this Plan to paid or provided at the time of a termination of employment or service will be paid at a termination of employment or service that constitutes a "separation from service" from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (determined after applying the presumptions set forth in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(h)(1)). Further, if at the time of a Participant's termination of employment with the Company, the Participant is a "specified employee" as defined in Section 409A of the Code as determined by the Company in accordance with Section 409A of the Code, and the deferral of the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable hereunder as a result of such termination of employment is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company will defer the payment hereunder until the date that is at least six (6) months following the Participant's termination of employment with the Company (or the earliest date permitted under Section 409A of the Code).

Non-Transferability

5.2 Restricted Share Units and all other rights, benefits or interests in this Plan are non-transferable and may not be pledged or assigned or encumbered in any way and are not subject to attachment or


garnishment, except that if a Participant dies the legal representatives of the Participant will be entitled to receive the amount of any payment otherwise payable to the Participant hereunder in accordance with the provisions thereof.

No Right to Service

5.3 Neither participation in this Plan nor any action under this Plan will be construed to give any Eligible Person or Participant a right to be retained in the service or to continue in the employment of the Company or any Related Entity, or affect in any way the right of the Company or any Related Entity to terminate his or her employment at any time.

Applicable Trading Policies

5.4 The Board and each Participant will ensure that all actions taken and decisions made by the Board or the Participant, as the case may be, pursuant to this Plan comply with any applicable securities laws and policies of the Company relating to insider trading or "blackout" periods.

Successors and Assigns

5.5 This Plan will ensure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective legal representatives of the Eligible Person or Participants.

Plan Amendment

5.6 The Board may amend this Plan as it deems necessary or appropriate, subject to the requirements of applicable laws, but no amendment will, without the consent of any Eligible Person or unless required by law (or for compliance with applicable corporate, securities or tax law requirements or related industry practice), adversely affect the rights of an Eligible Person or Participant with respect to Restricted Share Units to which the Eligible Person or Participant is then entitled under this Plan.

Plan Termination

5.7 The Board may terminate this Plan at any time, but no termination will, without the consent of the Participant or unless required by law, adversely affect the rights of a Participant respect to Restricted Share Units to which the Participant is then entitled under this Plan. In no event will a termination of this Plan accelerate the vesting of Restricted Share Units or the time at which a Participant would otherwise be entitled to receive any payment in respect of Restricted Share Units hereunder.

Governing Law

5.8 This Plan and all matters to which reference is made in this Plan will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

Reorganization of the Company

5.9 The existence of this Plan or Restricted Share Units will not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its shareholders to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company's capital structure or its business, or to create or issue any bonds, debentures, Shares or other securities of the Company or to amend or modify the rights and conditions attaching thereto or to effect the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any amalgamation, combination, merger or consolidation involving the Company or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar nature or otherwise.

No Shareholder Rights

5.10 Restricted Share Units are not considered to be Shares or securities of the Company, and a Participant who is granted Restricted Share Units will not, as such, be entitled to receive notice of or to


attend any shareholders' meeting of the Company, nor entitled to exercise voting rights or any other rights attaching to the ownership of Shares or other securities of the Company, and will not be considered the owner of Shares by virtue of such issuance of Restricted Share Units.

No Other Benefit

5.11 No amount will be paid to, or in respect of, an Eligible Person under this Plan to compensate for a downward fluctuation in the fair market value or price of a Share, nor will any other form of benefit be conferred upon, or in respect of, an Eligible Person for such purpose.

Unfunded Plan

5.12 For greater certainty, the crediting of any Award to the notional accounts set out in this Plan for any Participant does not confer any entitlement, benefits, or any rights of a similar nature or otherwise, aside from the rights expressly set out in this Plan, and this Plan will be an unfunded plan, including for tax purposes and for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (United States). Any Participant to which Restricted Share Units are credited to his or her account or holding Restricted Share Units or related accruals under this Plan will have the status of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to any relevant rights that may arise thereunder.
