COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
The Compensation Discussion and Analysis section explains the compensation program for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2020 for the Company’s Named Executive Officers (as that term is defined under applicable securities legislation).
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The compensation of the executive officers is determined by the Board of Directors, based in part on recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer.
The Board evaluates individual executive performance with the goal of setting compensation at levels that they believe are comparable with executives in other companies of similar size and stage of development operating in the same industry. In connection with setting appropriate levels of compensation, the Board base their decisions on their general business and industry knowledge and experience and publicly available information of comparable companies while also considering our relative performance and strategic goals.
The executive officer compensation consists of two basic elements: i) base salary; and ii) incentive stock options. The details are set out in the Summary Compensation Table.
The base salary established for each executive officer is intended to reflect each individual's responsibilities, experience, prior performance and other discretionary factors deemed relevant by the Board. In deciding on the salary portion of the compensation of the executive officers, major consideration is given to the fact that the Company is an early stage exploration company and does not generate any material revenue and must rely exclusively on funds raised from equity financing. Therefore, greater emphasis may be put on incentive stock option compensation.
The incentive stock option portion of the compensation is designed to provide the executive officers of the Company with a long term incentive in developing the Company's business. Options granted under the Company's stock option plan are approved by the Board, and if applicable, its subcommittees, after consideration of the Company's overall performance and whether the Company has met targets set out by the executive officers in their strategic plan.
