ValOre Metals Corp.

INFORMATION CIRCULAR

FOR THE 2021 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

This information is given as of July 9, 2021 unless otherwise noted

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This Information Circular is provided to registered and beneficial owners of ValOre Metals Corp. (“ValOre” or the "Company") shares in connection with the solicitation of proxies by management for use at the Annual General Meeting (the "Meeting") of the shareholders of ValOre, to be held at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting and at any adjournment thereof. This Information Circular and other proxy-related materials are not provided to registered or beneficial owners of the Company’s shares under the notice and access provisions of National Instrument 54-101.

PERSONS OR COMPANIES MAKING THE SOLICITATION

The enclosed instrument of proxy is solicited by ValOre management. Solicitations will be made by mail and possibly supplemented by telephone or other personal contact to be made without special compensation by regular officers and employees of ValOre. The Company may reimburse shareholders' nominees or agents (including brokers holding shares on behalf of clients) for the cost incurred in obtaining authorization from their principals to execute the instrument of proxy. No solicitation will be made by specifically engaged employees or soliciting agents. The cost of solicitation will be borne by the Company. None of the directors of ValOre have advised management in writing that they intend to oppose any action intended to be taken by management as set forth in this Information Circular.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

This Information Circular is accompanied by a management instrument of proxy that permits registered shareholders who do not attend the Meeting in person to have their shares voted at the Meeting by a proxyholder appointed by the registered shareholder. The persons named in the accompanying instrument of proxy are directors or officers of ValOre. A shareholder has the right to appoint a person to attend and act for him on his behalf at the Meeting other than the persons named in the enclosed instrument of proxy. To exercise this right, the shareholder must strike out the names of the persons named in the instrument of proxy and insert the name of his nominee in the blank space provided, or complete another instrument of proxy.

The completed instrument of proxy must be dated and signed and the duly completed instrument of proxy must be deposited at the Company's transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, 100 University Avenue, 8[th] Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, at least 48 hours before the time of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.

The instrument of proxy must be signed by the shareholder or by his duly authorized attorney. If signed by a duly authorized attorney, the instrument of proxy must be accompanied by the original power of attorney or a notarially certified copy thereof. If the shareholder is a corporation, the instrument of proxy must be signed by a duly authorized attorney, officer, or corporate representative, and must be accompanied by the original power of attorney or document whereby the duly authorized officer or corporate representative derives his power, as the case may be, or a notarially certified copy thereof. The Chairman of the Meeting has discretionary authority to accept proxies that do not strictly conform to the foregoing requirements.

In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a shareholder may revoke a proxy by (a) signing a proxy bearing a later date and depositing it at the place and within the time aforesaid, (b) signing and dating a written notice of revocation (in the same manner as the instrument of proxy is required to be executed as set out in the notes to the instrument of proxy) and either depositing it at the place and within the time aforesaid or with the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or on the day of any adjournment thereof, or (c) registering with the scrutineer at the Meeting as a shareholder present in person, whereupon such proxy shall be deemed to have been revoked.

VOTING OF SHARES AND EXERCISE OF DISCRETION OF PROXIES

On any poll, the persons named as proxyholder in the enclosed instrument of proxy will vote the shares in respect of which they are appointed and, where directions are given by the shareholder in respect of voting for or against any resolution, will do so in accordance with such direction.

In the absence of any direction in the instrument of proxy, it is intended that such shares will be voted in favour of the resolutions placed before the Meeting by ValOre management and for the election of the management nominees for

2

directors and auditor, as stated under the headings in this Information Circular. The instrument of proxy enclosed, when properly completed and deposited, confers discretionary authority with respect to amendments or variations to the matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to any other matters that may be properly brought before the Meeting. At the time of printing of this Information Circular, the management of ValOre is not aware that any such amendments, variations or other matters are to be presented for action at the Meeting. However, if any such amendments, variations or other matters should properly come before the Meeting, the proxies hereby solicited will be voted thereon in accordance with the best judgement of the nominee.

ADVICE TO BENEFICIAL HOLDERS OF SHARES

The following information is of significant importance to shareholders who do not hold shares in their own name. Beneficial shareholders should note that the only proxies that can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting are those deposited by registered shareholders (those whose names appear on the records of ValOre as the registered holders of shares).

If shares are listed in an account statement provided to a shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those shares will not be registered in the shareholder’s name on the records of the Company. Such shares will most likely be registered under the names of the shareholder’s broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms), and in the United States, under the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for The Depository Trust Company (which acts as depositary for many U.S. brokerage firms and custodian banks).

Intermediaries are required 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 to clients. There are two kinds of beneficial owners - those who object to their name being made known to the issuers of securities which they own (called “OBOs” for “Objecting Beneficial Owners”) and those who do not object to the issuers of the securities they own knowing who they are (called “NOBOs” for “Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners”).

ValOre is taking advantage of the provisions of National Instrument 54-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, which permit it to directly deliver proxy-related materials to its NOBOs. As a result, NOBOs can expect to receive a scannable Voting Instruction Form (a “VIF”) from Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”). These VIFs are to be completed and returned to Broadridge in the envelope provided or by facsimile. In addition, Broadridge provides both telephone and internet voting options, as described in the VIF. Broadridge will tabulate the results of the VIFs received from NOBOs and will provide appropriate instructions with respect to the shares represented by the VIFs they receive.

These securityholder materials are being sent to both registered and certain non-registered owners of the securities of ValOre. If you are a non-registered owner and the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding shares on your behalf.

By choosing to send these materials to you directly, ValOre (and not the intermediary holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for delivering these materials to you and executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions by completing and returning the enclosed VIF in accordance with the instructions contained in the VIF.

Beneficial shareholders who are OBOs will not receive the materials unless their intermediary assumes the costs of delivery. In the event that voting instructions are requested from OBOs, such instructions will typically be sought by the shareholder receiving either a form of proxy or a voting instruction form. If a form of proxy is supplied to you by your broker, it will be similar to the proxy provided to registered shareholders by the Company. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the intermediary on how to vote on your behalf. Most brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) in Canada and the United States. Broadridge obtains voting instructions by mailing a voting instruction form (the “Broadridge VIF”) which appoints the same persons as the Company’s proxy to represent you at the Meeting. You have the right to appoint a person (who need not be a beneficial shareholder of the Company), other than the persons designated in the Broadridge VIF, to represent you at the Meeting. To exercise this right, you should insert the name of the desired representative in the blank space provided in the Broadridge VIF. The completed Broadridge VIF must then be returned to Broadridge by mail or facsimile or given to Broadridge by phone or over the internet, in accordance with Broadridge’s instructions. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of shares to be represented at the Meeting.

If you plan to vote in person at the Meeting:

3

• nominate yourself as the appointee to attend and vote at the Meeting by printing your name in the space provided on the enclosed voting instruction form. Your vote will be counted at the Meeting so do NOT complete the voting instructions on the form;

• sign and return the form, following the instructions provided by your nominee; and

• • register with the Scrutineer when you arrive at the Meeting.

You may also nominate yourself as appointee online, if available, by typing your name in the “Appointee” section on the electronic ballot.

If you bring your voting instruction form to the Meeting, your vote will not count. Your vote can only be counted if you have completed, signed and returned your voting instruction form in accordance with the instructions above and attend the Meeting and vote in person.

On July 9, 2021, ValOre had 119,846,246 common shares without par value issued and outstanding, each share carrying the right to one vote.

Stock Option Plans and Other Incentive Plans

7

Stock Option Plan

ValOre has adopted a rolling stock option plan (the “Stock Option Plan”) enabling the directors to grant options to employees, directors and officers of the Company and persons providing ongoing services to the Company. The policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) state that rolling stock option plans must receive shareholder approval upon initial adoption and thereafter yearly, at the Company’s Annual General Meeting. The Stock Option Plan was last approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on June 24, 2020 and will again be presented for approval at the Meeting.

The purpose of the Stock Option Plan is to attract, retain and motivate management, staff, consultants and other qualified individuals by providing them with the opportunity, through share options, to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company and benefit from its growth. The material features of the Stock Option Plan are as follows:

1. The maximum number of shares that may be issued upon the exercise of stock options granted under the Stock Option Plan shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company at the time of grant, the exercise price of which, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, shall be at least $0.10 and shall not be less than the closing price of the Company’s common shares traded through the facilities of the Exchange on the date prior to the date of grant, less allowable discounts, in accordance with the policies of the Exchange or, if the shares are no longer listed for trading on the Exchange, then such other exchange or quotation system on which the shares are listed or quoted for trading.

2. The Board shall not grant options to any one person in any 12 month period which will, when exercised, exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company unless the Company has obtained the requisite disinterested shareholder approval to the grant, or to any one consultant or to those persons employed by the Company who perform investor relations services which will, when exercised, exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company.

3. If any stock option expires or otherwise terminates for any reason without having been exercised in full, the number of common shares in respect of which stock option expired or terminated shall again be available for the purposes of the Stock Option Plan. All options granted under the Stock Option Plan may not have an expiry date exceeding five years from the date on which the board of directors grant and announce the granting of the option.

4. If the option holder holds his or her stock options as a director of the Company and such option holder ceases to be a director of the Company other than by reason of death, then the option granted shall expire on the 90th day (or, in the case of a director who continues to be an employee or consultant, the 180th day) following the date the option holder ceases to be a director of the Company.

5. If the option holder holds his or her stock options as an employee or consultant of the Company and such option holder ceases to be an employee or consultant of the Company other than by reason of death, then the option granted shall expire on the 90th day (or, in the case of an employee or consultant who continues to be in a different position with the Company, the 180th day) following the date the option holder ceases to be an employee or consultant of the Company.

The Stock Option Plan does not provide for any financial assistance or support to be provided to optionees by the Company or any affiliated entity of the Company to facilitate the purchase of shares under the plan.

External Management Contracts

Robert Scott, ValOre’s CFO, is not an employee of the Company, but rather derives his compensation indirectly through a consulting agreement as described in “Employment, consulting and management agreements below”.

Employment, Consulting and Management Agreements

Except as disclosed below, no services were provided to the Company during the most recently completed financial year by a director or named executive officer, or any other party who provided services typically provided by a director or named executive officer, pursuant to any employment, consulting or management agreement between the Company and any other party, and the Company has no agreement or arrangement with any director, named executive officer or any other party with respect to any change of control of the Company or any severance, termination or constructive dismissal of any director, named executive officer or any other party, or any incremental payments triggered by any such change of control, severance, termination or constructive dismissal.

Employment Arrangements with James Paterson

On February 10, 2020, Jim Paterson was paid all accrued amounts owing and is now paid $12,500 per month.

8

Consulting Agreement with GSBC Financial Management Inc.

Pursuant to a consulting agreement, between ValOre and GSBC Financial Management Inc. (“GSBC”), a company wholly-owned by Robert Scott, GSBC supplies the services of Robert Scott as the Company’s CFO, and all related services, for a monthly fee of $5,000.00. As at the date of this Information Circular, GSBC is continuing this agreement on a month to month basis. One month’s advance notice is required by either party to terminate the agreement.

Oversight and Description of Director and Named Executive Officer Compensation

Compensation of the ValOre’s Named Executive Officers and directors is determined by the full Board, based on the recommendations of the Compensation Committee. Compensation is determined based on factors considered relevant and appropriate, including the level of service provided, the background and expertise of the individual director or officer, amounts paid by other companies in similar industries at similar stages of development, and compensation levels necessary to attract, retain and develop management of a high calibre. Compensation is typically reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee and the Board, usually in the first fiscal quarter, but may also be reviewed on an ad hoc basis as the need arises.

ValOre’s compensation structure has two primary components, cash compensation and share-based compensation in the form of incentive stock options. Cash compensation has two components, base salary and bonuses.

ValOre may grant stock options pursuant to its stock option plan to officers and directors on an ad hoc basis, based on the same subjective performance criteria referred to in the foregoing and other performance criteria considered relevant by the Board.

The Company regards the strategic use of incentive stock options as a significant component of its compensation structure. In evaluating option grants, the Board evaluates a number of factors including, but not limited to: (i) the number of options already held by or issued to an individual; (ii) a fair balance between the number of options held by an individual and those held by or issued to other directors or officers, in light of their responsibilities and objectives; and (iii) the value of the options (generally determined using a Black-Scholes analysis) as a component of the individual’s overall compensation.

A Compensation Committee has been established by the directors of the Company, the current members of which are Garth Kirkham (Chair), James Malone and Dale Wallster, all of which are independent within the meaning of NI 51-110.

No significant events occurred during the most recently completed financial year that significantly affected compensation. While the Board considers amounts paid by other companies in similar industries at similar stages of development in determining compensation, no specifically selected peer group has been identified as a comparable. No significant changes were made to the Company’s compensation policies since the commencement of the most recently completed financial year.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

General

“Corporate Governance” refers to the process and structure used to direct and manage the business and affairs of a corporation. The objective is to enhance shareholder value, including ensuring the financial viability of the business. Corporate governance processes and structures define the division of power among the shareholders, the board of directors and management, and establish ways to ensure accountability. They also take into account how the direction and management of the business will affect other stakeholders such as employees, customers, suppliers and communities.

The Canadian Securities Administrators have adopted two National Instruments, 58-201 Corporate Governance Guidelines (“NI 58-201”) and 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“NI 58-101”).

NI 58-201 sets forth a set of guidelines or “best practices” for reporting issuers to consider when evaluating their own corporate governance practices. Recognizing that not all of the guidelines set forth in NI 58-201 will be appropriate for all companies, full implementation of the guidelines is not mandated by either NI 58-201 or the Exchange. NI 58-101 mandates the disclosure of the corporate governance practices actually implemented by a reporting company, in certain prescribed disclosure documents.

As the business of the Company is straightforward, the Company is at an early stage of development and its Board is relatively small, the Company’s Corporate Governance practices are at an early stage of evolution. The following describes the Company’s approach to corporate governance, in compliance with NI 58-101.

9

Board of Directors

ValOre’s Board consists of a total of five directors, James Paterson, Garth Kirkham, Dale Wallster, James Malone and Darren Klinck. James Paterson is not independent in that he is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The other four directors are independent. Accordingly, the majority of the directors are independent.

Directorships

The following directors of the Company hold directorships in other reporting issuers as set out below:

Name of Director	Name of Other Reporting Issuer
James Paterson	Great Bear Royalties Corp.
Garth Kirkham	Romios Gold Resources Inc.
Dale Wallster	Datum Ventures Inc. Roughrider Exploration Limited Southern Empire Resources Corp.
James Malone	None
Darren Klinck	None

Orientation and Continuing Education

ValOre does not have a formal process of orientation for new Board members. However, the Company does orient and educate new Board members by providing background information, conducting personal meetings and responding to questions, during the early stages of a new Board member’s involvement with the Company.

The Company does not have a formal process of continuing education for directors. Generally, the Company expects that existing and new Board members will have a familiarity with the business of mineral exploration and development. Professional advisors may be invited to attend Board meetings, as needed. The Company also relies on the relatively straightforward nature of its business, and the established qualifications and expertise of its Board members.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct for the Company’s directors, officers and employees with respect to ethical business conduct. A full copy of the Code of Business Conduct is posted on its website at www.valoremetals.com and under its SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com. To the greatest extent possible, the Company attempts to attract and retain individuals with a well-developed personal code of ethical conduct in both their business and personal lives.

In considering a transaction in which a director has a material interest, the director is required to disclose the nature and extent of his interest to the Board and to abstain from voting on any resolution pertaining to the transaction.

Nomination of Directors

The Board does not have a Nominating Committee to identify new candidates for Board nomination. Potential candidates for appointment to the Board are considered by the Board as a whole, in reliance on the recommendations, qualifications and experience of its members. The Board recognizes that, in accordance with good corporate governance practices, it is desirable to appoint additional members who are independent, and gives weight to this consideration in its Board appointments.

Compensation

10

ValOre’s Board has a Compensation Committee consisting of Garth Kirkham (Chair), James Malone, and Dale Wallster. The Compensation Committee sets cash compensation for the Company’s CEO and CFO. Stock options are set by the Compensation Committee and then granted by the full Board. Further particulars concerning the compensation of the Company’s directors and officers are set forth under “Oversight and Description of Director and Named Executive Officer Compensation”.

Other Board Committees

In addition to its Audit and Compensation Committees, the Board has a Corporate Governance Committee consisting of James Malone (Chair), Garth Kirkham and Dale Wallster. In addition to the business and affairs of the Corporation, the Corporate Governance Committee oversees the Code of Conduct.

Assessments

The Board has no specific procedures for regularly assessing the effectiveness and contribution of the Board, its committees or individual directors. As the business of the Company is relatively straightforward and its Board relatively small, it is expected that a significant lack of performance on the part of a committee or individual director would become readily apparent, and could be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. With respect to the Board as a whole, the Board monitors its performance on an ongoing basis, and as part of that process considers the overall performance of the Company and input from its shareholders.

All of the foregoing individuals have the ability to read and understand 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.

Since the commencement of ValOre’s most recently completed financial year, the Company’s Board of Directors has not failed to adopt a recommendation of the Audit Committee to nominate or compensate an external auditor.

Since the commencement of the Company’s most recently completed financial year, the Company has not relied on the exemptions contained in sections 2.4 or 8 of NI 52-110. NI 52-110 provides that the Audit Committee must pre-approve all non-audit services to be provided by the Company’s auditor. Section 2.4 provides an exemption from this requirement where the total amount of fees related to the non-audit services are not expected to exceed 5% of the total fees payable to the auditor in the fiscal year in which the non-audit services were provided. Section 8 permits a company to apply to a securities regulatory authority for an exemption from the requirements of NI 52-110, in whole or in part.

No specific policies or procedures have been adopted with respect to the provision of non-audit services by the Company’s external auditor although, under the Company’s Audit Committee Charter, such services are required to be approved by the Audit Committee.

In the following table, “audit fees” are fees billed by Davidson & Company LLP, Chartered Accountants, ValOre’s external auditor for services provided in auditing the Company’s annual financial statements for the subject year. “Audit-related fees” are fees not included in audit fees that are billed by the auditor for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements. “Tax fees” are fees billed by the auditor for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. “All other fees” are fees billed by the auditor for products and services not included in the foregoing categories.

Audit fees billed to the Company by Davidson & Company LLP, Chartered Accountants, in each of the last two fiscal years, by category, are as follows:

Financial Year Ending	Audit Fees	Audit Related Fees	Tax Fees	All Other Fees
September30,2020	$37,500	$457.50	$7,500	Nil
September 30, 2019	$45,000	Nil	$7,850	Nil

The Company is relying on the exemption provided by section 6.1 of NI 52-110, which provides that the Company, as a venture issuer, is not required to comply with Part 3 (Composition of the Audit Committee) and Part 5 (Reporting Obligations) of NI 52110

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

The Audit Committee Charter

I. MANDATE

The primary function of the audit committee (the “ Committee ”) is to assist the Board of Directors 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’ policies, procedures and practices at all levels. The Committee’s primary duties and responsibilities are to:

1. Serve as an independent and objective party to monitor the Company’s financial reporting and internal control system and review the Company’s financial statements.

2. Review and appraise the performance of the Company’s external auditors.

3. Provide an open avenue of communication among the Company’s auditors, financial and senior management and the Board of Directors.

II. COMPOSITION

The Committee shall be comprised of three directors as determined by the Board of Directors, the majority of whom shall be independent directors, pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.
