3A 709 12th St., New Westminster British Columbia, V3M 4J7
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR
FOR THE ANNUAL GENERAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 2024 at 11 a.m.
Except where otherwise indicated, information contained in the Information Circular (as defined herein) is given as of July 25, 2024. Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars and references to “$” are to Canadian dollars.
PERSONS MAKING THE SOLICITATION
This management information circular (the “ Information Circular ”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of TAJIRI RESOURCES CORP. (the “ Company ”) for use at the annual general and special meeting of the Shareholders (the “ Meeting ”) of the Company, to be held on Friday, August 30[th] , 2024, at the time and location and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice and at any adjournment thereof.
Except as noted below, the Company has distributed or made available for distribution, copies of the Notice, the Information Circular and form of proxy or voting instruction form (“ VIF ”) (if applicable) (the “ Meeting Materials ”) to clearing agencies, securities dealers, banks and trust companies or their nominees (collectively, the “ Intermediaries ”) for distribution to Beneficial Shareholders (as defined below) whose common shares are held by or in custody of such Intermediaries. Such Intermediaries are required to forward such documents to Beneficial Shareholders unless a Beneficial Shareholder has waived the right to receive them. The Company is sending proxy related materials directly to NOBOs (as defined below), through the services of its transfer agent and registrar, Olympia Trust Company Inc. The solicitation of proxies from Beneficial Shareholders will be carried out by the Intermediaries or by the Company if the names and addresses of the Beneficial Shareholders are provided by Intermediaries. The Company will pay the permitted fees and costs of Intermediaries incurred in connection with the distribution of the Meeting Materials. The Company is not relying on the notice-and-access provisions of securities laws for delivery of the Meeting Materials to registered shareholders or Beneficial Shareholders.
APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES
The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy are directors and/or officers of the Company. A shareholder has the right to appoint a person or corporation (who need not be a shareholder of the Company) to attend and act for such shareholder and on his, her or its behalf at the Meeting other than the persons designated in the enclosed form of proxy. Such right may be exercised by inserting in the blank space provided for that purpose the name of the desired person or by completing another proper form of proxy and, in either case, delivering the completed and executed proxy to the Company’s transfer agent and registrar, ATTN: Proxy Office, Olympia Trust Company, PO Box 128, STN M, Calgary Alberta, T2P 2H6, not later than forty-eight (48) hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time fixed for the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, or delivering it to the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof prior to the time of voting. A proxy must be executed by the registered shareholder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing or, if the shareholder is a corporation, by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized.
1
In addition to any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked, before it is exercised, by depositing an instrument in writing executed by the shareholder in the same manner as a proxy and deposited to the attention of the Secretary of the Company at the registered office located at 3A 709 12th St., New Westminster, British Columbia, V3M 4J7, Canada at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or if adjourned, any reconvening day thereof or with the Chair of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof and thereupon the proxy is revoked. The document used to revoke a proxy must be in writing, and completed and signed by the Shareholder or his or her attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer or attorney.
EXERCISE OF DISCRETION BY PROXIES
The persons named in the accompanying form of proxy will vote the common shares in respect of which they are appointed in accordance with the direction of the shareholders appointing them. The common shares represented by the proxy will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder on any ballot that may be called for and, if the shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted on, the common shares will be voted accordingly. In the absence of such direction, where the management nominees are appointed as proxyholder, such common shares will be voted in favour of passing the matters set out in the Notice. The form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. At the time of the printing of this Information Circular, the management of the Company knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting other than the matters referred to in the Notice. However, if any other matters which at present are not known to the management of the Company should properly come before the Meeting, the proxy will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the named proxies.
ADVICE TO BENEFICIAL SHAREHOLDERS
Shareholders should note that only proxies deposited by shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of common shares, or non-objecting beneficial owners (“ NOBOs ”) whose names has been provided to the Company’s registrar and transfer agent, can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. The information set forth in this section is therefore of significant importance to a substantial number of shareholders who do not hold their common shares in their own name (referred to in this section as “ Beneficial Shareholders ”). If common shares are listed in an account statement provided to a shareholder by an Intermediary, then in almost all cases those common shares will not be registered in such shareholder’s name on the records of the Company. Such common shares will more likely be registered under the name of the shareholder’s Intermediary or an agent of that Intermediary. In Canada, the vast majority of such common shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co., as nominee for CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., which acts as a depository for many Canadian Intermediaries. Common shares held by Intermediaries or their nominees can only be voted for or against resolutions upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, Intermediaries are prohibited from voting common shares for their clients.
Applicable regulatory policy requires Intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholders’ meetings. Every Intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their common shares are voted at the Meeting. Often the form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its Intermediary is identical to the form of proxy provided by the Company to the Intermediaries. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the Intermediary how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The majority of Intermediaries now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“ Broadridge ”). Broadridge typically mails the VIFs or proxy forms to the Beneficial Shareholders and asks the Beneficial Shareholders to return the VIFs or proxy forms to Broadridge. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of common shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder receiving a proxy or VIF from Broadridge cannot use that proxy to vote common shares directly at the Meeting - the proxy must be returned to Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the common shares voted.
Although Beneficial Shareholders may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting common shares registered in the name of their Intermediary, a Beneficial Shareholder may attend the Meeting as proxyholder for the Intermediary and vote their common shares in that capacity.
Should a NOBO wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person, the NOBO must insert his or her name (or the name of the person that the NOBO wants to attend and vote on the NOBO’s behalf) in the space provided on the VIF and return it to the Company or its transfer agent. If the Company receives a written request that the NOBO or its nominee be appointed
2
as proxyholder, if management is holding a proxy with respect to common shares beneficially owned by such NOBO, the Company will arrange, without expense to the NOBO, to appoint the NOBO or its nominee as proxyholder in respect of those common shares. Under NI 54-101, unless corporate law does not allow it, if the NOBO or its nominee is appointed as proxyholder by the Company in this manner, the NOBO or its nominee, as applicable, must be given the authority to attend, vote and otherwise act for and on behalf of management in respect of all matters that come before the meeting and any adjournment or postponement of the meeting. If the Company receives such instructions at least one business day before the deadline for submission of proxies, it is required to deposit the proxy within that deadline, in order to appoint the NOBO or its nominee as proxyholder. If a NOBO requests that the NOBO or its nominee be appointed as proxyholder, the NOBO or its appointed nominee, as applicable, will need to attend the meeting in person in order for the NOBOs vote to be counted.
NOBOs that wish to change their vote must in sufficient time in advance of the Meeting contact their Intermediary to arrange to change their vote. NOBOs should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediaries, including those regarding when and where to complete the VIF’s that are to be returned to their Intermediaries.
Should an objecting beneficial owner (an “ OBO ”) wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person, the OBO should insert his or her name (or the name of the person the OBO wants to attend and vote on the OBO’s behalf) in the space provided for that purpose on the request for voting instructions form and return it to the OBO’s Intermediary or send the Intermediary another written request that the OBO or its nominee be appointed as proxyholder. The Intermediary is required under NI 54-101 to arrange, without expense to the OBO, to appoint the OBO or its nominee as proxyholder in respect of the OBO’s common shares. Under NI 54-101, unless corporate law does not allow it, if the Intermediary makes an appointment in this manner, the OBO or its nominee, as applicable, must be given authority to attend, vote and otherwise act for and on behalf of the Intermediary (who is the registered shareholder) in respect of all matters that come before the meeting and any adjournment or postponement of the meeting. An Intermediary who receives such instructions at least one business day before the deadline for submission of proxies is required to deposit the proxy within that deadline, in order to appoint the OBO or its nominee as proxyholder. If an OBO requests that an Intermediary appoint the OBO or its nominee as proxyholder, the OBO or its appointed nominee, as applicable, will need to attend the meeting in person in order for the OBOs vote to be counted.
OBOs should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when and where the completed request for voting instructions is to be delivered. Only registered shareholders have the right to revoke a proxy. OBOs who wish to change their vote must in sufficient time in advance of the Meeting, arrange for their respective intermediaries to change their vote and if necessary revoke their proxy in accordance with the revocation procedures set out above.
Shareholders with questions respecting the voting of shares held through an Intermediary should contact that Intermediary for assistance.
All references to shareholders in this Information Circular and the accompanying form of proxy and Notice are to shareholders of record unless specifically stated otherwise.
NOTE TO NON-OBJECTING BENEFICIAL OWNERS
The Meeting Materials are being sent to both registered shareholders and NOBOs. If you are a NOBO, and the Company or its agent has sent the Meeting Materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of common shares, have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary holding 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: (i) delivering the Meeting Materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the request for voting instructions.
VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF
The authorized capital of the Company consists of an unlimited number of common shares without par value. As of July 25[th] , 2024, 134,166,618 common shares were issued and outstanding.
The Company has fixed the close of business on July 26[th] , 2024, as the record date (the “ Record Date ”) for the purposes of determining shareholders entitled to receive the Notice and vote at the Meeting. At a general meeting of the Company, on a show of hands, every shareholder present in person shall have one vote and, on a poll, every shareholder shall have one vote for each common share of which he, she or it is the holder. The Company has no other classes of voting securities.
3
In accordance with the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), the Company will prepare a list of the holders of common shares on the Record Date. Each holder of common shares named on the list will be entitled to vote the common shares shown opposite his, her or its name on the list at the Meeting. To the knowledge of the Company, as of the Record Date, no person holds more than 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company except for Javelin Minerals Ltd. (a private company controlled by Dominic O’Sullivan, a director of the Company) which holds 16,885,166 shares.
The above information was provided by management of the Company and the Company’s registrar and transfer agent as of the Record Date.
VOTES NECESSARY TO PASS RESOLUTIONS
Under the Company’s articles, the quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of shareholders is one person who is, or who represents by proxy, one or more shareholders who, in the aggregate, hold at least 5% of the issued common shares entitled to be voted at the Meeting. A simple majority of the votes of those shareholders who are present and vote either in person or by proxy at the Meeting is required in order to pass an ordinary resolution. A majority of two-thirds of the votes of those shareholders who are present and vote either in person or by proxy at the Meeting is required to pass a special resolution. There are no special resolutions proposed at this Meeting.
INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this Information Circular, none of the current directors or executive officers, no proposed nominee for election as a director, none of the persons who have been directors or executive officers since the commencement of the last completed financial year and no associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing persons has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting, save and except for those matters pertaining to the election of directors.
STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
For the purpose of this Information Circular:
“ CEO ” means each individual who acted as chief executive officer of the Company or acted in a similar capacity for any part of the most recently completed financial year;
“ CFO ” means each individual who acted as chief financial officer of the Company or acted in a similar capacity for any part of the most recently completed financial year; and
“ Named Executive Officer ” or “ NEO ” means: (a) a CEO; (b) a CFO; (c) the Company’s most highly compensated executive officers, including any of the Company’s subsidiaries, or the most highly compensated individuals acting in a similar capacity, other than the CEO and CFO, at the end of the most recently completed financial year and whose total compensation was, individually, more than $150,000 as determined in accordance with subsection 1.3(5) of Form 51102F6V – Statement of Executive Compensation – Venture Issuers , for that financial year; and (d) each individual who would be a NEO under paragraph (c) but for the fact that the individual was neither an executive officer of the Company, nor acting in a similar capacity at the end of the most recently completed financial year.
During the year ended April 30, 2023, the Company had two Named Executive Officers, namely Graham Keevil, Chief Executive Officer, M. Bilal Bhamji, Chief Financial Officer.
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Executive compensation is based upon the need to provide a compensation package that will allow the Company to attract and retain qualified and experienced executives, balanced with a pay-for-performance philosophy. Compensation for this fiscal year and prior fiscal years have historically been based upon a negotiated fee, with stock options and bonuses potentially being issued and paid as an incentive for performance.
Presently, the Company does not have in place any formal objectives, criteria or analysis for determining or assessing the compensation of its executive officers and directors, nor does it have a compensation committee. As the Company’s business
4
and operations continue to grow in size and complexity, it is anticipated that the Company will establish a compensation committee with formal objectives and policies.
The duties and responsibilities of the CEO are typical of those of a business entity of the Company’s size and in a similar business and include direct reporting responsibility to the board of directors (the “ Board ”), overseeing the activities of all other executive and management consultants, representing the Company, providing leadership and responsibility for achieving corporate goals and implementing corporate policies and initiatives.
The compensation of the Company’s officers and directors is based on an incentive philosophy with the intent that all efforts will be directed toward a common objective of creating shareholder value. The compensation strategy is to attract and retain talent and experience with focused leadership in the operations, financing, and exploration asset management of the Company with the objective of maximizing the value of the Company. The officers and the Board each have defined skills and experience that are essential to the Company.
The incentive component of the Company’s compensation program is the potential longer-term reward provided through the grant of stock options. The Company’s stock option plan is intended to attract, retain and motivate officers and directors of the Company in key positions, and to align the interests of those individuals with those of the Company’s shareholders. The stock option plan provides such individuals with an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company’s value growth through the exercise of stock options. Options are granted at the discretion of the Board, which considers factors such as how other companies grant options and the potential value that each optionee is contributing to the Company. 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 Company’s common shares at the time of the grant.
During the year ended April 30, 2023, the Company did not grant any stock options to its directors and Name Executive Officers. For details of the granting of these stock options, see “Stock Options and Other Compensation Securities” below.
The stage of the Company’s development and the small size of its management team allow frequent communication and constant management decisions in the interest of developing shareholder value as a primary goal.

Exercise of Compensation Securities by Directors and NEOs
No compensation securities were exercised by any director or Named Executive Officer during the most recently completed financial year ending April 30, 2023.
Stock Option Plans and Other Incentive Plans
The Company has adopted a 10% rolling stock option plan (“ Plan ”), which provides that the Board may from time to time, in its discretion, grant to directors, officers, employees, technical consultants and other participants to the Company, nontransferrable stock options to purchase common shares, provided that the number of common shares reserved for issuance will not exceed 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares. Such options will be exercisable for a period of up to ten years from the date of grant. In addition, the number of common shares which may be issuable under the Plan within a one-year period: (i) to any one individual shall not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares; and (ii) to a consultant or an employee performing investor relations activities, shall not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding common shares. The underlying purpose of the Plan is to attract and motivate the directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and to advance the interests of the Company by affording such persons with the opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Company through rights granted under the Plan.
The Company has no other plan providing for the grant of stock appreciation rights, deferred share units or restricted stock units or any other incentive plan or portion of a plan under which awards are granted.
Employment, Consulting and Management Agreements
There were no agreements or arrangements in place under which compensation was provided during the most recently completed financial year or is payable in respect of services provided to the company that were:
6
-
(a) performed by a director or named executive officer, or
-
(b) performed by any other party but are services typically provided by a director or a named executive officer,
other than the grant of options under the Plan, and the reimbursement of expenses any director or NEO may have incurred on behalf of the Company.
In particular, there were no agreements or arrangement containing provisions with respect to change of control, severance, termination or constructive dismissal.
Oversight and Description of Director and Named Executive Officer Compensation
The Company does not have any share-based awards, long-term incentive plans and, save as disclosed above, no remuneration payments were made, directly or indirectly, by the Company to its directors or NEO’s during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023.

INTEREST OF INFORMED PERSONS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS
To the knowledge of management of the Company, other than set out below, no informed person or nominee for election as a director of the Company, or any associate or affiliate of an informed person or proposed director, has or had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction since the commencement of the Company’s most recently completed financial year or in any proposed transaction which has materially affected or will materially affect the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than as set out herein. The term “informed person” as defined in National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations means a director or executive officer of the Company, or any person or company who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, voting securities of the Company or who exercises control or direction over voting securities of the Company carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all outstanding voting securities of the Company, other than voting securities held by the person or company as underwriter in the course of a distribution.
AUDIT COMMITTEE
Pursuant to the provisions of applicable corporate and securities law, the Company is required to have an Audit Committee comprised of at least three directors, the majority of which must not be officers or employees of the Company.
The Company must also, pursuant to the provisions of National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees (“ NI 52-110 ”), have a written charter, which sets out the duties and responsibilities of its audit committee. In providing the following disclosure, the Company is relying on the exemption provided under NI 52-110, which allows for the short form disclosure of the audit committee procedures of venture issuers.
Audit Committee’s Charter
Mandate
The primary function of the audit committee (the “ Committee ”) is to assist the Board in fulfilling its financial oversight responsibilities by reviewing the financial reports and other financial information provided by the Company to regulatory authorities and shareholders, the Company’s systems of internal controls regarding finance and accounting, and the Company’s auditing, accounting and financial reporting processes. Consistent with this function, the Committee will encourage continuous improvement of, and should foster adherence to, the Company’s policies, procedures and practices at all levels. The Committee’s primary duties and responsibilities are to:
-
serve as an independent and objective party to monitor the Company’s financial reporting and internal control systems and review the Company’s financial statements;
-
review and appraise the performance of the Company’s external auditors; and
-
provide an open avenue of communication among the Company’s auditors, financial and senior management and the Board.
Composition
The Committee shall be comprised of at least three directors as determined by the Board, the majority of whom shall be free from any relationship that, in the opinion of the Board, would reasonably interfere with the exercise of his or her independent judgment as a member of the Committee. At least one member of the Committee shall have accounting or related financial management expertise. All members of the Committee that are not financially literate will work towards becoming financially literate to obtain a working familiarity with basic finance and accounting practices. For the purposes of the Audit Committee’s Charter, the definition of “financially literate” is 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 presumably be expected to be raised by the Company’s financial statements. The members of the Committee shall be elected by the Board at its first meeting following the annual shareholders’ meeting.
Meetings
The Committee shall meet at least four times annually , or more frequently as circumstances dictate. As part of its job to foster open communication, the Committee will meet at least annually with the Chief Financial Officer and the external auditors.
8
Responsibilities and Duties
To fulfill its responsibilities and duties, the Committee shall:
Documents/Reports Review
-
(a) Review and update this Charter as required.
-
(b) Review the Company’s financial statements, MD&A and any annual and interim earnings, press releases before the Company publicly discloses this information and any reports or other financial information (including quarterly financial statements), which are submitted to any governmental body, or to the public, including any certification, report, opinion, or review rendered by the external auditors.
-
(c) Confirm that adequate procedures are in place for the review of the Company’s public disclosure of financial information extracted or derived from the Company’s financial statements.
External Auditors
-

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Corporate governance relates to the 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. National Policy 58-201 Corporate Governance Guidelines establishes corporate governance guidelines which apply to all public companies. These guidelines are not intended to be prescriptive but to be used by issuers in developing their own corporate governance practices. 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.
Pursuant to National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“NI 58-101”) the Company is required to disclose its corporate governance practices, as summarized below. The Board will continue to monitor such practices on an ongoing basis and when necessary, implement such additional practices as it deems appropriate.
11
Board of Directors
The Board is currently composed of five directors - Messrs. Graham Keevil (CEO), M. Bilal Bhamji (CFO), Dominic O’Sullivan (Chairman), Robert Power (independent) and Roger Conners (independent).
NI 58-101 suggests that the board of directors of a public company should be constituted with a majority of individuals who qualify as “independent” directors. An “independent” director is a director who is independent of management and is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with the director’s ability to act with a view to the best interests of the Company, other than interests and relationships arising from shareholding. In addition, where a company has a significant shareholder, NP 58-101 suggests that the board of directors should include a number of directors who do not have interests in either the company or the significant shareholder. As of the date of this Information Circular two (2) of the Company’s four (5) directors is independent. Roger Conners and Robert Power are considered by the Board to be “independent” within the meaning of NI 58-101, whereas each of Graham Keevil (CEO and President), M. Bilal Bhamji (CFO and Corporate Secretary) and Dominic O’Sullivan (Chairman) are considered to be “non-independent”.
The independent directors are able to exercise their responsibilities for independent oversight of management by virtue of forming a majority of the Board and will provide leadership through their position on the Board and ability to meet as a group independently of any management directors whenever deemed necessary. The Board will consider appointing an “independent” member as Chairman at such time as it believes that such a position is required.
The mandate of the Board, as prescribed by the Business Corporations Act (British Colombia), is to manage or supervise the management of the business and affairs of the Company and to act with a view to the best interests of the Company. In doing so, the Board oversees the management of the Company’s affairs directly and through its various committees. In fulfilling its mandate, the Board, among other matters, is responsible for reviewing and approving the Company’s overall business strategies, reviewing and approving significant acquisitions and capital investments; reviewing major strategic initiatives to ensure that the Company’s proposed actions accord with shareholder objectives; reviewing succession planning; assessing management’s performance against industry standards; reviewing and approving the reports and other disclosure issued to shareholders; ensuring the effective operation of the Board; and safeguarding shareholders’ equity interests through the optimum utilization of the Company’s capital resources. The Board also takes responsibility for identifying the principal risks of the Company’s business and for ensuring these risks are effectively monitored and mitigated to the extent reasonably practicable. At this stage of the Company’s development, the Board does not believe it is necessary to adopt a written mandate, as sufficient guidance is found in the applicable corporate legislation and regulatory policies. However, as the Company grows, the Board may determine it is appropriate to develop a formal written mandate.
In keeping with its overall responsibility for the stewardship of the Company, the Board is responsible for the integrity of the Company’s internal control and management information systems and for the Company’s policies respecting corporate disclosure and communications.
Each member of the Board understands that he is entitled, at the cost of the Company, to seek the advice of an independent expert if he reasonably considers it warranted under the circumstances. No director found it necessary to do so during the financial year ended April 30, 2023.
The Board does not, and does not consider it necessary to, have any formal structures or procedures in place to ensure that it can function independently of management. The Board believes that its current composition, given the current size of the Board, is sufficient to ensure that the Board can function independently of management. The Board anticipates that as the Company matures as a business enterprise, it will identify additional qualified candidates that have experience relevant to the Company’s needs, who are independent of management applying the guidelines contained in applicable legislation.
Directorships
The following Director is the only individual on the Board who is currently serving on the board of directors of other reporting companies (or equivalent):
12
| Director | Other Reporting Issuer(s) | Exchange |
| Graham Keevil | Northern Lights Resources Corp. | Canadian Securities Exchange |
Orientation and Continuing Education
New directors are briefed on the Company’s current property holdings, ongoing exploration programs, overall strategic plans, short, medium and long-term corporate objectives, financials status, general business risks and mitigation strategies, and existing company policies. There is no formal orientation for new members of the Board. This is considered to be appropriate, given the Company’s size and current level of operations, the ongoing interaction amongst the directors and the low director turn-over. However, if the growth of the Company’s operations warrants it, it is possible that a formal orientation process would be implemented.
The skills and knowledge of the Board as a whole is such that no formal continuing education process is currently deemed required. The Board is comprised of individuals with varying backgrounds, who have, both collectively and individually, extensive experience in running and managing public companies, particularly in the natural resource sector. 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. The directors are advised that, if a director believes that it would be appropriate to attend any continuing education event for corporate directors, the Company will pay for the cost thereof. Board members have full access to the Company’s records. Reference is made to the table under the heading “Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon - Election of Directors” for a description of the current principal occupations of the members of the Board.
Ethical Business Conduct
The Board has not adopted a written Code of Ethical Conduct for its directors, officers and employees at this time. The Board monitors the ethical conduct of the Company and ensures that it complies with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, such as those of relevant securities commissions and stock exchanges. The Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by governing corporate legislation and the common law, as well as the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on the 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 in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
Some of the directors of the Company also serve as directors and/or officers of other companies engaged in similar business activities. As such, the Board must comply with the conflict of interest provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), as well as the relevant securities regulatory instruments, in order to ensure that directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in respect of which a director or officer has a material interest. Any interested director would be required to declare the nature and extent of his interest and would not be entitled to vote at meetings of directors which evoke any such conflict.
Nomination of Directors and Assessment
The Board determines new nominees to the Board, although a formal process has not been adopted. The nominees are generally the result of recruitment efforts by the Board members, including both formal and informal discussions among Board members. The Board monitors but does not formally assess the performance of individual Board members or committee members or their contributions. The Company conducts the due diligence, reference and background checks on any suitable candidate. New nominees must have a track record in general business management, special expertise in an area of strategic interest to the Company, the ability to devote the time required and a willingness to serve. As the Company progresses as a business enterprise, the Board will consider its size on an annual basis when it considers the number of directors to recommend to shareholders for election at annual general meetings, taking into account the number required to carry out the Board’s duties effectively and to maintain diversity of view and experience.
Compensation
The directors currently do not receive any remuneration for their services in their capacity as directors, or for committee participation; however, directors are entitled to receive, and have been granted, incentive stock options. The timing of the grant, and number of shares made subject to option, with respect to stock options granted to the members of the Board is
13
recommended by the CEO, reviewed and approved (or revised, if thought appropriate) by the independent directors of the Company, and implemented by a resolution of the Board. The review of proposed option grants by the independent directors and the implementation thereof by the Board provides the independent director(s) with significant input into compensation decisions.
Board Committees
The Company has established one committee – the Audit Committee, currently comprised of Dominic O’Sullivan (Chair) Robert Power and Roger Conners.
All Board decisions are made by full board of director meetings or consent resolutions.
Assessments
Neither the Company nor the Board has determined formal means or methods to regularly assess the Board, its committees or the individual directors with respect to their effectiveness and contributions. Effectiveness is subjectively measured by comparing actual corporate results with stated objectives. The contribution of an individual director is informally monitored by the other Board members, having in mind the business strengths of the individual and the purpose of originally nominating the individual to the Board.
MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS
Management functions of the Company are generally performed by directors and senior officers of the Company and not, to any substantial degree, by any other person to whom the Company has contracted.

Pursuant to the Plan, the Company may grant stock options to its directors, officers, employees, technical consultants and other participants.
