Stock option plans and other incentive plans

At the Company’s last annual general meeting, the Shareholders ratified an incentive stock option plan for the Company (the “Plan”) under which the Directors were authorized to grant options to purchase up to 10% of the Company’s common shares from time to time. The purpose of Plan is to attract and motivate directors, officers and employees of and consultants to the Company and its subsidiaries and thereby advance the Company’s interests by affording such persons with an opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Company through the stock options.

The Plan is administered by the directors and Compensation Committee of the Company. The Plan provides that the number of Shares issuable under the Plan, together with all of the Company’s other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements may not exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares. All options expire on a date not later than ten years after the date of grant of such option.

Under the Policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) options granted under such a rolling plan are not required to have a vesting period, although the directors may continue to grant options with vesting periods, as the circumstances require. The Rolling Plan authorizes the Board of Directors to grant stock options to the Optionees on the following terms:

The number of shares subject to each option is determined by the Board of Directors provided that the Rolling Plan, together with all other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements may not, during any 12 month period, result in:

• (a) the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to stock options granted to any one person exceeding 5% of the issued shares of the Company;

• (b) the issuance, within a one year period, to insiders of the Company of a number of shares exceeding 10%, or to one insider of a number exceeding 5%, or to a consultant of a number exceeding 2%; or to all

4

employees (as defined by the Exchange) who provide Investor Relations services of a number exceeding 2% of the issued shares of the Company.

1. The aggregate number of shares, which may be issued pursuant to options granted under the Rolling Plan, may not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company as at the date of the Grant.

2. The exercise price of an option may not be set at less than the closing market price during the trading day immediately preceding the date of grant of the option less a maximum discount of 25% if the Company is listed on Tier 2, TSX Venture Exchange or without any allowable discount if the Company is listed on Tier 1, TSX Venture Exchange or on the TSX.

4. The options may be exercisable for a period of up to 10 years.

5. The options are non-assignable, except in certain circumstances. The options can only be exercised by the optionee as long as the optionee remains an eligible optionee pursuant to the Rolling Plan or within a period of not more than 90 days (30 days for providers of investor relations services) after ceasing to be an eligible optionee or, if the optionee dies, within one year from the date of the optionee's death.

6. On the occurrence of a takeover bid, issuer bid or going private transaction, the Board of Directors will have the right to accelerate the date on which any option becomes exercisable.

The Plan must be approved yearly by the shareholders of the Issuer in order to re-set the number of shares that can be granted under the Plan.

If shareholder approval of the Plan is obtained, any options granted or amendments made to options previously granted pursuant to the Plan will not require further shareholder approval although notice of options granted under the Plan must be given to the Exchange. Any amendments to the Plan must also be approved by the Exchange and, if necessary, by the shareholders of the Company prior to becoming effective.

Employment, consulting and management agreements

Except as described below, the Company does not have any contracts, agreements, plans or arrangements that provides for payments to a director or NEO at, following or in connection with any termination (whether voluntary, involuntary or constructive), resignation, retirement, a change in control of the Company or a change in an NEO’s responsibilities.

On September 15, 2016 the Company entered into an executive management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with 1089660 B.C. Ltd. (the “Consultant”), a private company owned by Bryce Bradley, to provide the personal services of Bryce Bradley acting in the capacity as CEO and President for the Company in consideration of a monthly fee of $10,000 and a term expiring September 15, 2020. The management agreement has been extended indefinitely.

In addition, as a fixed bonus, the Company agreed to grant to the Consultant, up to 5,000,0000 stock options (the “Options”) to acquire common shares of the Company in the allocations and on the achievement of certain milestones as set forth below.

• (a) For each $1,000,000 in exploration expenditures that a third party has agreed, pursuant to a binding agreement entered into with the Company, to be expended on the Company’s mineral properties, the Company has agreed to grant 350,000 Options to a maximum of 2,000,000 options regardless of the amount agreed to be expended on the Company’s mineral properties.

5

• (b) 3,000,000 Options on the completion of a bankable feasibility study, which meets the requirements of applicable Canadian securities laws, for any of the Corporation’s mineral properties.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company entered into an option and joint venture agreement dated February 26, 2019 with Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (“JOGMEC”) pursuant to which JOGMEC was granted an option to acquire a 70% interest in the Company’s Korokayiu prospect by funding $3.5 million in exploration expenditures through March 31, 2022. In accordance with the Management Agreement, the Company was then required to grant to the Consultant an aggregate of 1,255,000 Options, subject to the terms of the Company’s stock option plan and the requirement that any grant of Options would not exceed 75% of the available stock options under the Company’s stock option plan at any given time.

As a result, an aggregate of 650,000 Options were granted during the year ended December 31, 2019. The remaining 575,000 Options due as a result of the JOGMEC agreement were granted in the year ended December 31, 2020 with the result that all of the Options triggered by the JOGMEC agreement have now been granted.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company paid a cash bonus to the Consultant of $80,000 related to the Consultant’s efforts in progressing the JOGMEC joint venture and the approvals related to the 2020 exploration program on the Korokayiu prospect.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company paid a cash bonus to the Consultant of $50,000 related to the Consultant’s efforts in progressing the JOGMEC joint venture and the approvals related to the 2021 exploration program on the Korokayiu prospect.

In addition, the Company has the right to terminate the Management Agreement without cause on the provision of 12 month’s base salary, or 24 months base salary in the event of a change of control.

Oversight and Description of Director and Named Executive Officer Compensation

The objective of the Company’s compensation program is to compensate the executive officers for their services to the Company at a level that is both in line with the Company’s fiscal resources and competitive with companies at a similar stage of development.

The Company does not have a formal compensation program. The board of directors meets to discuss and determine management compensation, without reference to formal objectives, criteria or analysis. The general objectives of the Company’s compensation strategy are to (a) compensate management in a manner that encourages and rewards a high level of performance and results with a view to increasing long-term shareholder value; (b) align management’s interests with the long-term interests of shareholders; (c) provide a compensation package that is commensurate with other junior venture companies to enable 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 constraints that the Company is under by virtue of the fact that it is a junior venture company without a history of earnings. The Board, as a whole, ensures that total compensation paid to all NEOs is fair and reasonable. The Board relies on the education and experience of its members as officers and directors with other companies, in assessing compensation levels.

Compensation for this fiscal year and prior fiscal years have historically been based upon a negotiated salary, with stock options and bonuses potentially being issued and paid as an incentive for performance.

Compensation for the most recently completed financial year should not be considered an indicator of expected compensation levels in future periods. All compensation is subject to and dependent on the Company’s financial resources and prospects.
