STINGER RESOURCES INC.
Box 70, #92 - 2nd Avenue West
Cardston, Alberta T0K 0K0

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR
as at November 7, 2025 (except as indicated)

This information circular (“Information Circular”) is provided in connection with the solicitation of proxies by or on behalf of management of Stinger Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Stinger Resources”) for use at the annual general meeting of the Company’s shareholders (the “Meeting”) to be held on Thursday, December 18, 2025, at 5th Floor – 410 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, at 9:00 a.m. (PDT), or at any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof, for the purposes set forth in the Notice (defined below).

The solicitation of proxies is made on behalf of the management of the Company. Such solicitation will be primarily by mail but may also be made by telephone or other electronic means of communication or in person by the directors, officers and consultants of the Company. Directors, officers and consultants of Stinger Resources will not receive any additional compensation for such activities. Arrangements will be made with brokerage firms and other nominees, including receivers, trustees and agents for the forwarding of proxy solicitation documents to the beneficial owners of the common shares of the Company in accordance with the provisions of National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of Reporting Issuers (“NI 54-101”). The Company may also reimburse brokers and other Intermediaries holding shares in their name or in the name of nominees for their costs incurred in sending proxy materials to their principals in order to obtain their proxies.

DELIVERY OF MEETING MATERIALS

As permitted by Canadian securities regulators, the Company is using ‘notice and access’ to deliver this Information Circular to both registered shareholders and non-registered holders of common shares of the Company. This means that the Company will post the Information Circular online for its shareholders to access electronically. Notice and access is an environmentally friendly and cost-effective way to distribute the materials, as it reduces printing, paper and postage.

You will receive a package in the mail with a Notice-and-Access Notification to Shareholders (the “Notice”). The Notice will outline the matters to be addressed at the Meeting and explain how to access the Information Circular online, how to request a paper copy, and how to return your proxy or voting instruction instructions. You will also receive a form of proxy or voting instruction form, as applicable, so you can vote your shares. The Company will also mail a paper copy of the Information Circular to beneficial owners who requested to receive one.

A shareholder may receive multiple packages of Meeting materials if the shareholder holds common shares through more than one Intermediary (defined below), or if the shareholder is both a registered shareholder and a non-registered shareholder for different shareholdings. Any such shareholder should repeat the steps to vote through a proxy, appoint a proxyholder or attend the Meeting, if desired, separately for each shareholding to ensure that all the common shares from the various shareholdings are represented and voted at the Meeting. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the appropriate voting information form.

Non-registered shareholders should also refer to “Voting by Non-Registered Shareholders - Distribution of Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Shareholders” below.

GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

Appointment of Proxyholder

A registered shareholder may vote in person at the Meeting or may appoint another person, other than the person designated in the enclosed form of proxy, to represent such registered shareholder at the Meeting. In order to appoint another person as proxy, a registered shareholder must complete, execute and deliver the form of proxy accompanying this Information Circular, or another proper form of proxy, in the manner specified in the Notice of Meeting.


2

The purpose of a form of proxy is to designate persons who will vote on the registered shareholder's behalf in accordance with the instructions given by the registered shareholder in the form of proxy. The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy are officers, directors or legal counsel of Stinger Resources. A registered shareholder desiring to appoint some other person, who need not be a shareholder, to represent him, her or it at the Meeting may do so by filling in the name of such person in the blank space provided in the form of proxy or by completing another proper form of proxy. Such registered shareholder should notify the nominee of his or her appointment, obtain his or her consent to act as proxy and instruct him or her on how the registered shareholder's shares are to be voted.

Completion and Return of Proxy

In order to be valid, the completed form of proxy must be returned to the Company's transfer agent, Olympia Trust Company, before 9:00 a.m. (PDT) on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, or 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays recognized in the Province of British Columbia) prior to the date of any adjourned or postponed Meeting. A form of proxy should be executed by the registered shareholder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing or, if the registered shareholder is a corporation, by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized. The time limit for the deposit of proxies may be waived or extended by the chair of the Meeting at his or her discretion without notice.

Proxies may be deposited with Olympia Trust Company using one of the following methods:

| By Mail: | Olympia Trust Company
PO Box 128, STN M, Calgary, AB T2P 2H6
Attn: Proxy Dept. |
| --- | --- |
| Fax: | 403-668-8307 |
| Scan and Email: | [email protected] |
| By Internet: | https://css.olympiatrust.com/pxlogin
You will need to provide your 12-digit control number (located on the form of Proxy accompanying this Information Circular) |

Revocation of Proxy

A registered shareholder attending the Meeting has the right to vote in person and, if he or she does so, his or her form of proxy is nullified with respect to the matters such person votes upon at the Meeting and any subsequent matters thereafter to be voted upon at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

A registered shareholder who has given a form of proxy may revoke the form of proxy at any time prior to using it: (a) by depositing an instrument in writing, including another completed form of proxy, executed by such registered shareholder or by his or her attorney authorized in writing or by electronic signature or, if the registered shareholder is a corporation, by an authorized officer or attorney thereof at, or by transmitting by telephone or electronic means, a revocation signed, subject to the provisions of the BCBCA, by electronic signature, to (i) the registered office of Stinger Resources, located at $5^{\text{th}}$ Floor - 410 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6B 1Z3, at any time prior to 4:00 p.m. (PDT) on the last Business Day preceding the day of the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, or (ii) with the chair of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof; or (b) in any other manner permitted by law.

Exercise of Discretion by Proxies

Shares represented by proxies in which one of the management proxyholders is appointed by a registered shareholder as proxyholder will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the registered shareholder on any ballot that may be called for and, if a registered shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting, the shares represented by such proxy will be voted accordingly. Where no choice is specified, the proxy will confer discretionary authority and will be voted FOR the matters to be voted on at the Meeting.


3

The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein as proxyholder to vote with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to any other matters which may properly come before the Meeting in such manner as such proxyholder in his or her judgement may determine. At the date of this Information Circular, management of Stinger Resources knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting.

Voting by Non-Registered Shareholders

The information in this section is important to many shareholders as a substantial number of shareholders do not hold their shares in their own name.

Only registered shareholders or the persons they appoint as their proxies are permitted to attend and vote at the Meeting and only forms of proxy deposited by registered shareholders will be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. Shares beneficially owned by a non-registered shareholder are registered either: (a) in the name of an intermediary (an “Intermediary”) with whom the non-registered shareholder deals in respect of the shares (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency, such as CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., (each a “Clearing Agency”) of which the Intermediary is a participant. Accordingly, such Intermediaries and Clearing Agencies would be the registered shareholders and would appear as such on the list maintained by the Company’s transfer agent. Non-registered shareholders do not appear on the list of the registered shareholders maintained by the Company’s transfer agent.

Distribution of Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Shareholders

In accordance with the requirements of NI 54-101, Stinger Resources will distribute the required Meeting materials to the Clearing Agencies and Intermediaries for onward distribution to non-registered shareholders as well as directly to NOBOs (defined below).

Non-registered shareholders fall into two categories – “OBOs” (i.e., objecting beneficial owners, being those beneficial owners of shares of the Company who object to their identity being made known to the Company) and “NOBOs” (i.e., non-objecting beneficial owners, being beneficial owners of shares of the Company who do not object to their name being made known to the Company). Subject to the provisions of NI 54-101, the Company may request and obtain a list of its NOBOs from Intermediaries directly or via its transfer agent and may obtain and use the NOBO list for the distribution of proxy-related materials to such NOBOs.

If you are a non-registered shareholder and Stinger Resources or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of shares have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary holding shares on your behalf. By choosing to send the Meeting materials to you directly, the Company (and not the Intermediary holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (a) delivering the Meeting materials to you, and (b) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the request for voting instructions.

OBOs can expect to be contacted by their Intermediary. The Company does not intend to pay for Intermediaries to deliver the Meeting materials to OBOs and it is the responsibility of such Intermediaries to ensure delivery of the Meeting materials to their OBOs. An OBO will not receive the Meeting materials unless the OBO’s Intermediary assumes the cost of delivery.

Voting by Non-Registered Shareholders

Shares held by non-registered shareholders can only be voted or withheld from voting at the direction of the non-registered shareholder. Without specific instructions, Intermediaries or Clearing Agencies are prohibited from voting shares on behalf of non-registered shareholders. Therefore, each non-registered shareholder should ensure that voting instructions are communicated to the appropriate person well in advance of the Meeting.


4

The various Intermediaries have their own mailing procedures and provide their own return instructions to non-registered shareholders, which should be carefully followed by non-registered shareholders in order to ensure that their shares are voted at the Meeting.

Non-registered shareholders will receive either a voting instruction form or, less frequently, a form of proxy. The purpose of these forms is to permit non-registered shareholders to direct the voting of the shares they beneficially own. Non-registered shareholders should follow the procedures set out below, depending on which type of form they receive:

Voting Instruction Form. In most cases, a non-registered shareholder will receive, as part of the Meeting materials, a voting instruction form. If the non-registered shareholder does not wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on the non-registered shareholder’s behalf), the voting instruction form must be completed, signed and returned in accordance with the directions on the form;

OR

Form of Proxy. Less frequently, a non-registered shareholder will receive, as part of the Meeting materials, a form of proxy that has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature) which is restricted as to the number of shares beneficially owned by the non-registered shareholder but which is otherwise not completed. If the non-registered shareholder does not wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on the non-registered shareholder’s behalf), the non-registered shareholder must complete and sign the form of proxy and in accordance with the directions on the form.

Voting by Non-Registered Shareholder at the Meeting

Although a non-registered shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting shares registered in the name of an Intermediary or a Clearing Agency, a non-registered shareholder may attend the Meeting as proxyholder for the registered shareholder who holds shares beneficially owned by such non-registered shareholder and vote such shares as a proxyholder. A non-registered shareholder who wishes to attend the Meeting and to vote their shares as proxyholder for the registered shareholder who holds shares beneficially owned by such non-registered shareholder, should (a) if they received a voting instruction form, follow the directions indicated on the voting instruction form; or (b) if they received a form of proxy, strike out the names of the persons named in the form of proxy and insert the non-registered shareholder’s or its nominee’s name in the blank space provided. Non-registered shareholders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediaries, including those instructions regarding when and where the voting instruction form or the form of proxy is to be delivered.

All references to shareholders in the Meeting materials are to registered shareholders as set forth on the list of registered shareholders as maintained by the Company’s transfer agent, unless specifically stated otherwise.

RECORD DATE AND VOTING SECURITIES

The directors of the Company have set the close of business on November 7, 2025, as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the Meeting.

Only registered shareholders of record as at the Record Date are entitled to receive notice of the Meeting and to vote those shares included in the list of registered shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting prepared as at the Record Date.

Voting at the Meeting will be by show of hands, with each shareholder present having one vote, unless a poll is requested or required, whereupon each shareholder or proxyholder present is entitled to one vote for each common share held.

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares without par value of which 49,647,742 common shares are issued and outstanding as at the Record Date. The Company has no other class of voting securities.


5

QUORUM

The Articles of the Company provide that a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting will be two persons who are, or who represent by proxy, shareholders who are entitled to vote at the meeting.

VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SHARES

Oversight and Description of Director and NEO Compensation

Director Compensation

The Company has no standard arrangements pursuant to which directors are compensated by the Company for their services in their capacity as directors, except for the granting from time to time of incentive stock options in accordance with the Stock Option Plan and the policies of the Exchange. Currently, no formalized fee structure has been implemented with respect to the payment of fees to directors for serving as directors of the Company. Should the Company’s financial circumstances change in fiscal 2025, the Board as a whole will consider and determine compensation payable to the non-NEO directors of the Company, taking into consideration general industry standards for companies similar to the Company and the time and efforts provided to the Company by each non-NEO director.

The Board believes that the granting of incentive stock options provides a reward to directors for achieving results that improve Company performance and thereby increase shareholder value, where such improvement is reflected in an increase in the Company’s share price. In making a determination as to whether a grant of long-term incentive stock options is appropriate and if so, the number of options that should be granted, the Board considers: the number and terms of outstanding incentive stock options held by each director; the aggregate value in securities of the Company that the Board intends to award as compensation; the potential dilution to shareholders; general industry standards and the limits imposed by the terms of the Stock Option Plan and Exchange policies. The granting of incentive stock options allows the Company to reward directors for their efforts to increase value for shareholders without requiring the Company to use cash from its treasury. The terms and conditions of the Company’s stock option grants, including vesting provisions and exercise prices, are governed by the terms of the Stock Option Plan, which are described under “Description of the Stock Option Plan” below.

The directors may be reimbursed for actual expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the performance of their duties as directors.

Named Executive Officer Compensation

The Company is a junior resource company focused on its principal gold and silver properties located in British Columbia. The Company has, as of yet, no significant revenues from operations and from time to time operates with limited financial resources to ensure that funds are available to complete scheduled work programs on its properties. As a result, the independent members of the Board have to consider not only the financial situation of the Company at the time of the determination of executive compensation, but also the estimated financial situation of the Company in the mid and long term.

Compensation paid to NEOs during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, is noted in the table above. The Company has contractual agreements with its CEO and CFO which are described above under “Employment, Consulting and Management Agreements”. It is anticipated that the compensation due and payable under these agreements will remain an obligation of the Company during the next fiscal year. The Company’s CEO and CFO are each paid an annual base salary with a bonus structure included in their agreements. All NEOs are granted long term incentives in the form of stock options. In determining the appropriate base salary of an executive officer, the independent Board members consider the responsibilities of the individual, the estimated time they are expected to devote to the Company’s business, comparable salaries in the industry, the experience level of the individual and overall performance. Base salaries for the NEOs will be reviewed annually by the Board.

As the Company advances its exploration properties and grows its business, the general objectives of its compensation strategy will be to (a) compensate management in a manner that encourages and rewards a high level of performance and outstanding results with a view to increasing long-term shareholder value; (b) align management’s interests with the pursuit of the Company’s goals and growth strategies and the long-term interests of shareholders; (c) provide a compensation package that enables the Company to attract and retain talent; and (d) ensure that the total compensation package is designed in a manner that takes into account the financial constraints that the Company is under.

In considering the compensation of its NEOs, the independent members of the Board consider how they can best balance the interests of the Company and provide competitive compensation to attract and retain officers who will contribute to the success of the Company, while mindful of the Company’s financial constraints. The independent members of the Board take into account the types of compensation and the amounts paid to directors and officers of comparable publicly traded Canadian companies.


11

An important element of executive compensation is that of stock options, which do not require cash disbursements by the Company. The Board believes that the granting of incentive stock options provides a reward to NEOs for achieving results that improve Company performance and thereby increase shareholder value, where such improvement is reflected in an increase in the Company’s share price. In making a determination as to whether a grant of long-term incentive stock options is appropriate and if so, the number of options that should be granted, the Board considers: the number and terms of outstanding incentive stock options held by each NEO; the aggregate value in securities of the Company that the Board intends to award as compensation; the potential dilution to shareholders; general industry standards and the limits imposed by the terms of the Stock Option Plan and Exchange policies. The granting of incentive stock options allows the Company to reward NEOs for their efforts to increase value for shareholders without requiring the Company to use cash from its treasury. The terms and conditions of the Company’s stock option grants, including vesting provisions and exercise prices, are governed by the terms of the Stock Option Plan, which are described under “Description of the Stock Option Plan” below.

Other than as described above, there are no other perquisites provided to the NEOs. The Company does not use specific benchmark groups in determining compensation or any element of compensation.

Pension Disclosure

No pension is provided to a director or Named Executive Officer of Stinger Resources.

INTEREST OF INFORMED PERSONS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

During the year ended December 31, 2024, no management functions of the Company were to any substantial degree performed by a person other than the directors or executive officers of the Company.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

Corporate governance relates to activities of the Board, the members of which are elected by and are accountable to the shareholders, and takes into account the role of the individual members of management who are appointed by the Board and who are charged with the day to day management of the Company. The Board is committed to sound corporate governance practices which are both in the interest of its shareholders and contribute to effective and efficient decision making.

National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“NI 58-101”) requires that each reporting company disclose its corporate governance practices on an annual basis. The Company’s general approach to corporate governance is summarized below.

Board of Directors

Independence

The Company’s Board is comprised of five (5) directors: Darren Blaney, Robert Edwards, Dennis Edwards, Sean Pownall and Tobin Wood.

Section 1.4 of National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees (“NI 52-110”) sets out the standard for director independence. Under NI 52-110, a director is independent if he or she has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. A material relationship is a relationship which could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgment. NI 52-110 also sets out certain situations where a director will automatically be considered to have a material relationship to the Company.


14

Applying the definition set out in section 1.4 of NI 52-110, three directors, Dennis Edwards, Sean Pownall and Tobin Wood, are independent. Darren Blaney is not independent by virtue of the fact that he is an executive officer of the Company (President & CEO) and Robert Edwards is not independent by virtue of the fact that he is an executive officer of the Company (CFO & corporate secretary).

In order to facilitate its exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of the Board, the Board ensures that a majority of the independent directors are in attendance at all Board meetings.

Other Directorships

Certain directors are presently a director of one or more other reporting issuers or reporting issuer equivalents, as set out below:

Name of Director Reporting Issuer(s) or Equivalent(s)
Darren Blaney Affinity Metals Corp. (CSE:AFF)
Newterra Resources Inc. (CSE:NT)
Robert Edwards Affinity Metals Corp. (CSE:AFF)
Newterra Resources Inc. (CSE:NT)
Dennis Edwards Affinity Metals Corp. (CSE:AFF)
Sean Pownall Affinity Metals Corp. (CSE:AFF)

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Company has not adopted a formalized process of orientation for new Board members. Orientation of new directors has been and will be conducted on an ad hoc basis through discussions and meetings with other directors, officers and employees where a thorough description of the Company's business, assets, operations and strategic plans and objectives are discussed. Orientation activities have been and will be tailored to the particular needs and experiences of each director and the overall needs of the Board.

The Board does not take any formal measures to provide continuing education for the directors. The Board is notified of any material changes in reporting or regulations that may have an impact on their duties via e-mail from the CEO or Corporate Secretary. In addition, directors are kept informed as to matters impacting, or which may impact, the Company's operations through reports and presentations at the Board meetings. Directors are also provided the opportunity to meet with senior management, advisors and other directors who can answer any questions that may arise.

At this stage in the Company's development, and having regard to the background and experience of its directors, the Board does not feel it necessary to have formal policies or programs in place.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board has not adopted a formal written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. In recruiting new Board members, the Board considers only persons with a demonstrated record of ethical business conduct.

The Board has concluded that fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company's governing corporate legislation and the common law, in addition to the applicable corporate legislation restrictions placed on an individual director's participation in decisions of the Board in which the director has an interest, have been sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Company.

Nomination of Directors

The Board has not adopted a written mandate or formal procedure with respect to the nomination of directors. Nominees have historically been recruited by the efforts of existing Board members, and the recruitment process has involved both formal and informal discussions among committee and Board members. New nominees must have at


15

track record in general business management, special expertise in an area of strategic interest to the Company, the ability to devote the required time, show support for the Company's mission and strategic objectives and have a willingness to serve.

Compensation

The Board has not adopted a written mandate or formal procedure with respect to determining compensation for the directors and NEOs.

Refer to “Oversight and Description of Director and NEO Compensation” above for a detailed description of the Company’s compensation policies.

Other Board Committees

At the present time, the Company’s only standing committee is the audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) (see “Audit Committee” below).

Assessments

The Board regularly monitors the adequacy of information given to directors, communications between the Board and management and the strategic direction and processes of the Board; however, the Board does not formally assess the performance of individual Board members and their contributions. The Board does not, at present, have a formal process in place for assessing the effectiveness of the Board as a whole, its committees or individual directors, but will consider implementing one in the future should circumstances warrant. Based on the Company’s size, its stage of development and the limited number of individuals on the Board, the Board considers a formal assessment process to be inappropriate at this time.

Audit Committee

NI 52-110 requires the Company’s Audit Committee to meet certain requirements. It also requires the Company to disclose in this Information Circular certain information regarding the Audit Committee. That information is disclosed below.

Overview

The Audit Committee’s mandate includes reviewing: (a) the financial statements, reports and other financially-based information provided to shareholders, regulators and others; (b) the internal controls that management and the Board have established; and (c) the audit, accounting and financial reporting processes generally. In meeting these responsibilities, the Audit Committee monitors the financial reporting process and internal control system; reviews and appraises the work of the external auditors; and provides an open avenue of communication between the external auditors, senior management and the Board.

The Audit Committee Charter

The Board has adopted an Audit Committee Charter which sets out the Audit Committee’s mandate, organization, powers and responsibilities. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is attached hereto as Schedule “A”.


16

Composition of the Audit Committee

The Company’s Audit Committee is comprised of three directors consisting of Dennis Edwards, Sean Pownall and Darren Blaney. The following table sets out the names of the members of the Audit Committee and whether they are ‘independent’ and ‘financially literate’ for the purposes of NI 52-110.

Name of Member Independent^{(1)} Financially Literate^{(2)}
Dennis Edwards Yes Yes
Sean Pownall Yes Yes
Darren Blaney No Yes

Notes:
(1) To be independent, a member of the Audit Committee must not have any direct or indirect ‘material relationship’ with the Company. A material relationship is a relationship which could, in the view of the Board, reasonably interfere with the exercise of a member’s independent judgment. Accordingly, an executive officer of the Company (except a part-time Chair) is not independent, nor is a director that is paid consulting fees for non-director services provided to the Company.
(2) To be considered financially literate, a member of the Audit Committee must have the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company’s financial statements.

Relevant Education and Experience

The education and experience of each member of the Audit Committee that is relevant to the performance of his responsibilities as an Audit Committee member and, in particular, any education or experience that would provide the member with:

(a) an understanding of the accounting principles used by the Company to prepare its financial statements;
(b) the ability to assess the general application of such accounting principles in connection with the accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves;
(c) experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company’s financial statements, or experience actively supervising one or more persons engaged in such activities; and
(d) an understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting, are as follows:

Member Education/Experience

Mr. Pownall has worked as a diamond driller on numerous mineral projects in Canada and the U.S. ranging from grassroots exploration to full production mining. He is currently the owner of More Core Diamond Drilling Ltd., a company based in Stewart, British Columbia. This company was founded in 2006 and provides diamond core drilling and geotechnical drilling services to mineral and liquid natural gas companies throughout Canada and the U.S. Mr. Pownall also served as a Director of the Association of Mineral Exploration British Columbia (AME BC) for one year from January 2015 – January 2016.

17

Mr. Blaney is also currently the CFO, Corporate Secretary and a director of Affinity Metals Corp. (CSE:AFF) and CEO, President and a director of Newterra Resources Inc. (CSE:NT).

Audit Committee Oversight

Since the commencement of the Company’s most recent financial year, there has not been a recommendation of the Audit Committee to nominate or compensate an external auditor which was not adopted by the Board.

Reliance on Exemptions in NI 52-110 – Audit Committee Composition & Reporting Obligations

Since Stinger Resources is a “venture issuer” (as such term is defined in NI 52-110), it is relying on the exemption contained in section 6.1 of NI 52-110 from the requirements of Part 5 Reporting Obligations of NI 52-110 (which requires certain prescribed disclosure about an audit committee in the company’s Annual Information Form, if any, and this Information Circular).

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, attached hereto as Schedule “A”.

External Auditor Service Fees (By Category)

The following table discloses the fees billed to the Company by its external auditor during the last two financial years.

Financial Year Ending Audit Fees^{(1)} Audit Related Fees^{(2)} Tax Fees^{(3)} All Other Fees^{(4)}
December 31, 2024 $26,570 Nil $4,700 Nil

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

Purpose

The purpose of the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Stinger Resources Inc. (the “Corporation”) is to:

Responsibilities, Resources and Authority

In discharging its oversight role, the Committee is granted all responsibilities and authority required by NI 52-110, including without limitation the authority to investigate any matter brought to its attention with full access to all books, records, facilities and personnel of the Corporation and the authority to engage independent legal, accounting or other advisors to obtain such advice and assistance as the Committee determines necessary to carry out its duties.

The Corporation shall provide the Committee with all appropriate funding, as determined by the Committee, for payment of compensation to any such advisors and any outside auditor, as well as for any ordinary administrative expenses of the Committee that are necessary or appropriate in the discharge of its responsibilities.

Key Responsibilities

The Committee’s role is one of oversight, and it is recognized that the Corporation’s management is responsible for preparing the Corporation’s financial statements and that the outside auditor is ultimately accountable to the Board and the Committee, as representatives of the shareholders, and is responsible for auditing those financial statements and MD&A.

Appointment of Outside Auditor

The Committee shall have direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation, retention (and where appropriate, replacement), and oversight of the work of any registered public accounting firm selected to be the Corporation’s outside auditor for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services for the Corporation.

Internal Controls

The Committee shall periodically discuss with Management and the outside auditor the quality and adequacy of the Corporation’s internal controls and internal auditing procedures, if any, including any significant deficiencies in the design or operation of those controls which could adversely affect the Corporation’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data and any fraud, whether or not material, that involves Management or other employees who have a significant role in the Corporation’s internal controls, and discuss with the outside auditor how the Corporation’s financial systems and controls compare with industry practices.

Accounting Policies

The Committee shall periodically review with Management and the outside auditor the quality, as well as acceptability, of the Corporation’s accounting policies, and discuss with the outside auditor how the Corporation’s accounting policies compare with those in the industry and all alternative treatments of financial information within Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) that have been discussed with Management, the ramifications of use of such alternative disclosures and treatments and the treatment preferred by the outside auditor.

Pre-approval of All Audit Services and Permitted Non-Audit Services

The Committee shall approve, in advance, all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be provided to the Corporation by the outside auditor; provided that any non-audit services performed pursuant to an exception to the preapproval requirement permitted under NI 52-110 shall not be deemed unauthorized. Specifically, the pre-approval requirement is waived with respect to the provision of nonaudit services if:

(a) the aggregate amount of all such non-audit services provided to the Corporation constitutes not more than five percent of the total amount of fees paid by the Corporation to its external auditors during the fiscal year in which the non-audit services are provided;

(b) such services were not recognized by the Corporation at the time of the engagement to be nonaudit services; and

(c) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved, prior to the completion of the audit, by the Committee or by one or more members of the Committee to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Committee.

The Committee may delegate to one or more independent members of the Committee the authority to pre-approve nonaudit services. The pre-approval of the non-audit services by any member of the Committee to whom authority has been delegated must be presented to the Committee at its first scheduled meeting following such pre-approval.
