MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

(as at April 26, 2022, except as indicated)

INFORMATION REGARDING ORGANIZATION AND CONDUCT OF MEETING

THIS MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR ( " CIRCULAR " ) IS FURNISHED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOLICITATION OF PROXIES BY OR ON BEHALF OF THE MANAGEMENT OF ZEPHYR MINERALS LTD. (" Corporation ") for use at the annual and special meeting (the " Meeting ") of the shareholders of the Corporation (the " Shareholders ") to be held at Suite 1301, Purdy’s Wharf Tower I, 1959 Upper Water Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia, on Thursday, May 26, 2022, at 11:00 a.m. (Atlantic Time) , or at any adjournment thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice of meeting (the " Notice of Meeting ").

In the context of the effort to mitigate potential risk to the health and safety associated with COVID-19, the Shareholders and others are being discouraged from attending the meeting in person. All shareholders are encouraged to vote on the matters before the Meeting by proxy in the manner set out herein

Attendees at the Meeting will be required to comply with any legal restrictions that may be in place at the time of the Meeting in response to the public health impact of COVID-19, which could include, without limitation, masking or social distancing requirements.

Solicitation of Proxies

Solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, but may also be by telephone or other means of communication by the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Corporation at nominal cost. All costs of solicitation will be paid by the Corporation. The Corporation will also pay the fees and costs of intermediaries for their services in transmitting proxy-related material in accordance with National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (" NI 54101 ").

Appointment and Revocation of Proxies

General

Shareholders may be "Registered Shareholders" or "Non-Registered Shareholders". If common shares of the Corporation (" Common Shares ") are registered in the Shareholder's name, the Shareholder is a " Registered Shareholder ". If Common Shares are registered in the name of an intermediary and not registered in the Shareholder's name, they are said to be owned by a " Non-Registered Shareholder ". An intermediary is usually a bank, trust company, securities dealer or broker, or a clearing agency in which an intermediary participates. The instructions provided below set forth the different procedures for voting Common Shares at the Meeting to be followed by Registered Shareholders and Non-Registered Shareholders.

The persons named in the enclosed instrument appointing proxy are officers and directors of the Corporation. Each Shareholder has the right to appoint a person or company (who need not be a Shareholder) to attend and act for him or her at the Meeting other than the persons designated in the enclosed form of proxy . Shareholders who have given a proxy also have the right to revoke it insofar as it has not been exercised. The right to appoint an alternate proxy holder and the right to revoke a proxy may be exercised by following the procedures set out below under " Registered Shareholders " or " Non-Registered Shareholders ", as applicable.

If any Shareholder receives more than one (1) proxy or voting instruction form, it is because that Shareholder's shares are registered in more than one form. In such cases, Shareholders should sign and submit all proxies or voting instruction forms received by them in accordance with the instructions provided.

Registered Shareholders

Registered Shareholders have two methods by which they can vote their Common Shares at the Meeting; namely, in person or by proxy. To assure representation at the Meeting, Registered Shareholders are encouraged to return the proxy included with this Circular. Sending in a proxy will not prevent a Registered Shareholder from voting in person at the Meeting. His or her vote will be taken and counted at the Meeting. Registered Shareholders who do not plan to attend the Meeting or do not wish to vote in person can vote by proxy.

Proxies must be received by the Corporation's transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. (" Computershare "), not later than Tuesday May 24, 2021, at 11:00 a.m. (Atlantic Time) . A Registered Shareholder must return the completed proxy to Computershare as follows:

(a) by mail in the enclosed envelope; or
(b) by the Internet or telephone as described on the enclosed proxy; or
(c) by registered mail, by hand or by courier to the attention of Computershare Proxy Department, 8[th] Floor, 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1.

To exercise the right to appoint a person or company to attend and act for a Registered Shareholder at the Meeting, a Shareholder must strike out the names of the persons designated on the enclosed instrument appointing proxy and insert the name of the alternate appointee in the blank space provided for that purpose.

To exercise the right to revoke a proxy, in addition to any other manner permitted by law, a Shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it by instrument in writing, executed by the Shareholder or his attorney authorized in writing, or if the Shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer or attorney thereof, and deposited: (i) with the Corporation at 1301-1959 Upper Water Street, Purdy's Tower I, Halifax, Nova Scotia B3J 3N2, Attention: David Felderhof, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the Meeting at which the proxy is to be used, or at any adjournment thereof, or (ii) with the Chairman of the Meeting on the date of the Meeting, or at any adjournment thereof, and upon either of such deposits the proxy is revoked.

Non-Registered Shareholders

Non-Registered Shareholders who have not objected to their intermediary disclosing certain ownership information about themselves to the Corporation are referred to as " NOBOs ". Non-Registered Shareholders who have objected to their intermediary disclosing the ownership information about themselves to the Corporation are referred to as " OBOs ".

In accordance with the requirements of NI 54-101, the Corporation is sending the Notice of Meeting, this Circular and either the voting instruction form (" VIF ") or the form of proxy, as applicable, (collectively, the " Meeting Materials ") directly to the NOBOs and, indirectly, through intermediaries to the OBOs. The Corporation will also pay the fees and costs of intermediaries for their services in delivering Meeting Materials to OBOs in accordance with NI 54-101.

Meeting Materials Received by OBOs from Intermediaries

The Corporation has distributed copies of the Meeting Materials to intermediaries for distribution to OBOs. Intermediaries are required to deliver these materials to all OBOs of the Corporation who have not waived their rights to receive these materials, and to seek instructions as to how to vote the Common Shares. Often, intermediaries will use a service company (such as Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.) to forward the Meeting Materials to OBOs.

OBOs who receive Meeting Materials will typically be given the ability to provide voting instructions in one of two ways:

(a) Usually, an OBO will be given a VIF which must be completed and signed by the OBO in accordance with the instructions provided by the intermediary. In this case, the mechanisms described above for Registered Shareholders cannot be used and the instructions provided by the intermediary must be followed.
(b) Occasionally, however, an OBO may be given a proxy that has already been signed by the intermediary. This form of proxy is restricted to the number of Common Shares owned by the OBO but is otherwise not completed. This form of proxy does not need to be signed by the OBO but must be completed by the OBO and returned to Computershare in the manner described above for Registered Shareholders.

The purpose of these procedures is to allow OBOs to direct the proxy voting of the Common Shares that they own but that are not registered in their name. If an OBO who receives either a form of proxy or a VIF wishes to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on his or her behalf), the OBO should strike out the persons named in the form of proxy as the proxy holder and insert the OBO's (or such other person's) name in the blank space provided or, in the case of a VIF, follow the corresponding instructions provided by the intermediary. In either case, OBOs who receive Meeting Materials from their intermediary should carefully follow the instructions provided by the intermediary.

To exercise the right to revoke a proxy, an OBO who has completed a proxy (or a VIF, as applicable) should carefully follow the instructions provided by the intermediary.

Proxies returned by intermediaries as "non-votes" either because the intermediary has not received instructions from the OBO with respect to the voting of certain shares or because, under applicable stock exchange or other rules, the intermediary does not have the discretion to vote those shares on one or more of the matters that come before the Meeting, will be treated as not entitled to vote on any such matter and will not be counted as having been voted in respect of any such matter. Common Shares represented by such "non-votes" will, however, be counted in determining whether there is a quorum.

Meeting Materials Received by NOBOs from the Corporation

As permitted under NI 54-101, the Corporation has used a NOBO list to send the Meeting Materials directly to the NOBOs whose names appear on that list. If you are a NOBO and the Corporation's transfer agent, Computershare, has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of Common Shares have been obtained from the intermediary holding such shares on your behalf in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements.

As a result, any NOBO of the Corporation can expect to receive a scannable VIF from Computershare. Please complete and return the VIF to Computershare in the envelope provided. Computershare will tabulate the results of the VIFs received from the Corporation's NOBOs and will provide appropriate instructions at the Meeting with respect to the shares represented by the VIFs received by Computershare.

By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Corporation (and not the intermediary holding Common Shares on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for: (i) delivering these materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. The intermediary holding Common Shares on your behalf has appointed you as the proxy holder of such shares, and therefore you can provide your voting instructions by completing the proxy included with this Circular in the same way as a Registered Shareholder. Please refer to the information under the heading " Registered Shareholders " for a description of the procedure to return a proxy, your right to appoint another person or company to attend the meeting, and your right to revoke the proxy.

Although a Non-Registered Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Common Shares registered in the name of his or her broker, a Non-Registered Shareholder may attend

the Meeting as proxy holder for the Registered Shareholder and vote the Common Shares in that capacity. A Non-Registered Shareholder who wishes to attend the Meeting and indirectly vote his or her Common Shares as proxy holder for the Registered Shareholder should enter his or her own name in the blank space on the form of proxy provided to him or her and return the same to his or her broker (or the broker's agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker.

Notice-and-Access

The Corporation is not sending the Meeting Materials to Registered Shareholders or Non-Registered Shareholders using notice-and-access delivery procedures defined under NI 54-101 and National Instrument 51-102, Continuous Disclosure Obligations .

Exercise of Proxies

Where a choice is specified, the Common Shares represented by proxy will be voted for, withheld from voting or voted against, as directed, on any poll or ballot that may be called. Where no choice is specified, the proxy will confer discretionary authority and will be voted in favour of all matters referred to on the form of proxy. The proxy also confers discretionary authority to vote for, withhold from voting, or vote against amendments or variations to the matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters not specifically mentioned in the Notice of Meeting but which may properly come before the Meeting.

Management has no present knowledge of any amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting or any business that will be presented at the Meeting other than that referred to in the Notice of Meeting. However, if any other matters properly come before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed instrument appointing proxy to vote in accordance with the recommendations of the management of the Corporation.

Voting Shares

The authorized capital of the Corporation consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares, of which 67,086,985 Common Shares are issued and outstanding as of the date hereof.

The board of directors of the Corporation (the " Board " or " Board of Directors ") has fixed the record date for the Meeting as the close of business on Thursday, April 21, 2022 (the " Record Date "). Only Shareholders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Meeting. Shareholders entitled to vote shall have one (1) vote each on a show of hands and one (1) vote per Common Share on a poll.

Quorum

A quorum of Shareholders will be present at the Meeting if at least two (2) persons are present and entitled to vote at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, representing in the aggregate not less than five percent (5%) of the outstanding Common Shares.

Principal Shareholders

As of the date hereof, to the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Corporation, no person or company beneficially owns, or exercises control or direction over, directly or indirectly, Common Shares carrying ten percent (10%) or more of the voting rights attached to all outstanding Common Shares of the Corporation, except as follows:


Name	Number of Common Shares	Percentage of Common Shares Owned
Bejoy International Ltd.	10,489,000(1)	15.6%

Notes:

(1) Based on public filings with securities regulatory authorities in Canada.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements of the Corporation, the auditor's report thereon and management's discussion and analysis for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, will be presented to the Shareholders at the Meeting.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS OR COMPANIES IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

No person who has been a director or executive officer of the Corporation since January 1, 2021 nor any proposed nominee for election as a director, nor any associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing, has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities of the Corporation or otherwise in the matters to be acted upon at the Meeting other than the election of directors, except that directors and executive officers are eligible to participate in the Corporation's incentive stock option plan (see " Matters to be Voted on at the Meeting - Approval of Incentive Stock Option Plan " on page [8] of this Circular) .

MATTERS TO BE VOTED ON AT THE MEETING

Election of Directors

The articles of incorporation of the Corporation provide that the size of the Board must consist of not less than one (1) director and not more than ten (10) directors to be elected annually. The size of the Board is to be determined by the Board and is currently fixed at six (6) directors. The Board is also authorized to appoint up to one-third (1/3) of the number of directors elected at the previous annual general meeting of Shareholders.

The persons named in the list which follows are the current directors of the Corporation. All of the proposed directors are, in the opinion of management, well qualified to direct the Corporation's activities for the ensuing year and have confirmed their willingness to continue to serve as directors, if re-elected. The term of office of each director elected will be until the next annual meeting of the Shareholders or until the position is otherwise vacated.

Unless the proxy specifically instructs the proxy holder to withhold such vote, Common Shares represented by the proxies hereby solicited shall be voted for the election of the nominees whose names are set forth below. Management does not contemplate that any of these proposed nominees will be unable to serve as a director of the Corporation, but if that should occur for any reason prior to the Meeting, the persons designated in the enclosed instrument appointing proxy will have the right to use their discretion in voting for a properly qualified substitute.

The Plan is a ten percent (10%) "rolling" stock option plan that is subject to annual Shareholder approval in accordance with Policy 4.4 – Security Based Compensation of the TSX-V (" Policy 4.4 ").

The Corporation is seeking re-approval of the Plan by the Shareholders at the Meeting in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX-V, in particular Policy 4.4.

The purpose of the Plan is to attract and retain service providers, employees, officers and directors of the Corporation and to motivate them to advance the interests of the Corporation by affording them with the opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Corporation through options. The Plan has been drafted to

comply with the policies of the TSX-V. The following information is intended as a brief description of the Plan, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan itself as appended to the Corporation’s management information circular dated April 30, 2012, which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. A copy of the Plan will also be promptly provided by the Corporation free of charge to any Shareholder upon request. To request a copy of the Plan, Shareholders should contact David Felderhof at Zephyr Minerals Ltd., 1301 – 1959 Upper Water Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia, B3J 3N2.

The Plan

The Plan provides that the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options granted under the Plan is a rolling maximum number that shall not be greater than ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Corporation (on a non-diluted basis) at any point in time.

The Plan is administered by the Board and the principal terms of the Plan are summarized as follows:

Options may be granted to "eligible persons", which include directors, officers, employees, consultants or management company employees of the Corporation or its affiliates, and any other person or entity engaged to provide ongoing services to the Corporation or its affiliates determined by the Board as eligible for participation in the Plan.
The aggregate number of Common Shares that may be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options granted to:
(a) any one individual may not exceed five percent (5%) of the total outstanding Common Shares (on a non-diluted basis) in any 12 month period;
(b) insiders of the Corporation may not exceed ten percent (10%) of the total outstanding Common Shares (on a non-diluted basis) in any 12 month period and the Plan may not result in the issuance to insiders, within a one-year period, of a number of Common Shares exceeding ten percent (10%) of the total outstanding Common Shares (on a non-diluted basis);
(c) consultants of the Corporation may not exceed two percent (2%) of the total outstanding Common Shares (on a non-diluted basis) in any 12 month period; and
(d) persons employed to conduct investor relations activities may not exceed two percent (2%) of the total outstanding Common Shares (on a non-diluted basis) in any 12 month period.
Unless otherwise determined by the Board at the time of grant, options are exercisable at any time after the date of grant, except in the event the optionee is a consultant engaged in investor relations activities. The options of such optionee must vest in stages with no more than one quarter (1/4) of the options vesting in any three (3) month period.
The exercise price under any option shall be determined by the Board but shall not be less than the greater of: (i) the price permitted by the TSX-V, and (ii) the price permitted by any other regulatory body having jurisdiction.
Options may be granted for a term of up to ten (10) years, as determined by the Board, subject to an automatic extension for ten (10) business days in the event the expiry date of the options occurs during, or within ten (10) business days of the end of, a blackout period imposed by the Corporation during which time no securities of the Corporation may be traded by certain persons such as insiders or employees of the Corporation.
Options may not be assigned or transferred.

If an optionee ceases to be an eligible person under the Plan for any reason other than termination by the Corporation for cause, the options will continue to be exercisable within the ninety (90) days (or twelve (12) months in the case of the death of the optionee) following the date the optionee ceased to be an eligible person. If an optionee is terminated for cause, the options will expire and terminate immediately upon the optionee ceasing to be a director, officer, employee, consultant or management company employee.
The amendment procedure of the Plan designates a category of listed amendments that can be made to the Plan by the Board without requiring the approval of Shareholders unless specifically required by the TSX-V. These amendments include: (i) altering, extending or accelerating option vesting terms and conditions; (ii) amending the termination provisions of an option; (iii) accelerating the expiry date of options; (iv) amending or modifying the mechanics of exercising options; (v) amending provisions relating to financial assistance to optionees under the Plan; and (vi) making "housekeeping" amendments, such as those necessary to cure errors or ambiguities contained in the Plan. Certain other amendments require shareholder approval, such as increasing the number of Common Shares issuable under the Plan and extending the term of the options granted under the Plan.

Existing Stock Options

As of April 26, 2022, the Corporation had stock options outstanding under the Plan that were exercisable to acquire, in the aggregate, 5,650,000 Common Shares. See " Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans " in this Circular for additional information with regard to the options outstanding as at December 31, 2021.

Approving the Plan

The Shareholders will be asked to approve the Plan pursuant to which the number of Common Shares available for issuance upon the exercise of options granted thereunder shall not be greater than ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (on a non-diluted basis) at any point in time. A copy of the proposed form of resolution is set forth as Schedule "A" to this Circular.

The Shareholders will be asked to approve the Plan annually in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX-V.

The directors of the Corporation believe the Plan is in the Corporation's best interest and recommend that the Shareholders approve the Plan. It is intended that all proxies received will be voted in favour of approving the Plan, unless a proxy contains instructions to vote against the resolution. Greater than fifty percent (50%) of the votes of Shareholders present in person or by proxy are required to approve the Plan.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The following sets forth the information required under Form 51-102F6V, Statement of Executive Compensation – Venture Issuers (" Form 51-102F6V ") regarding all compensation paid, payable, awarded, granted, given, or otherwise provided during the Corporation’s two most recently completed financial years to all persons acting as directors or as “named executive officers” or “NEOs”.

Currency

All references to "$" or "dollars" set forth in this Circular are in Canadian dollars, except where otherwise indicated.

Oversight and Description of Director and Named Executive Compensation

The Corporation’s Compensation Committee is responsible for the oversight of the Corporation’s strategy, policies and programs for the compensation and development of the Named Executives, and the Board is responsible for the oversight of the compensation of directors.

The general objectives of the Corporation's compensation strategy are:

(a) to 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) to align management's interests with the long term interests of Shareholders;
(c) to provide a compensation package that is commensurate with other comparable mineral exploration companies to enable the Corporation to attract and retain talent; and
(d) to ensure that the total compensation package is designed in a manner that takes into account the Corporation's present stage of development and its available financial resources.

Named Executive Compensation

The Corporation's executive compensation program is comprised of three (3) components: (1) base salary; (2) a stock option plan; and (3) perquisites. Each element of compensation is described in more detail below. No Named Executive or director of the Corporation has been granted express permission by the Board to purchase financial instruments, including, for greater certainty, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, or units of exchange funds, that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the Named Executive or director.

Base Salary

Base salary is intended to compensate Named Executives for discharging their duties in respect of their position descriptions. It is intended that salaries of the Named Executives will be primarily determined based upon the Corporation's present stage of development and its available financial resources. Individual circumstances, which may include the scope and the geographic location of a Named Executive's position, the Name Executive's relevant competencies or experience and retention risk, may also be taken into consideration. Base salary will be reviewed by the Compensation Committee each year in consultation with the Named Executive and may be adjusted as required based on the circumstances.

Option-Based Awards

Generally, it is expected that incentive stock options will be awarded to Named Executives at the commencement of employment and periodically thereafter. At the time of commencement of employment, option-based awards generally reflect industry comparables with companies at similar levels of development. During employment, options may be granted to reward Named Executives for their current performance, expected future performance and value to the Corporation, and take into account the number of options already held by the Named Executive and others.

Incentive stock options are granted to Named Executives pursuant to the Plan, the purpose of which is to advance the interests of the Corporation and its affiliates by encouraging the directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Corporation to acquire Common Shares, thereby increasing their proprietary interest in the Corporation, encouraging them to remain associated with the Corporation, rewarding significant performance achievements and furnishing them with additional incentive in their efforts on behalf of the Corporation in the conduct of their affairs. The Plan will continue to be one of the Corporation's primary tools for attracting, motivating and retaining qualified employees, which is critical to the Corporation's success. For more information on the Plan, see " Matters to be Voted on at the Meeting - Approval of Incentive Stock Option Plan " on page 8 of this Circular .

Perquisites

The Corporation provides a limited number of perquisites to its employees and executives, including to its Named Executives, which do not account for a material portion of their overall compensation. No perquisites were granted in 2021 to any of the Named Executives.

Employment Contracts

On March 1, 2016, and as amended effective May 1, 2018, the Corporation entered into an employment agreement (“ Agreement ”) with David Felderhof (“ Felderhof ”), in the capacity of Executive Vice President, pursuant to which the Corporation pays Felderhof an annual fee of $90,000, subject to annual review by the Compensation Committee. Following a review by the Compensation Committee, the Agreement was amended to reflect a base salary of $92,700 per year, effective January 1, 2021. Subsequently, following a review by the Compensation Committee, the Agreement was amended to reflect a base salary of $97,500 per year, effective January 1, 2022. There were no other amendments to the Agreement.

Felderhof may terminate the Agreement at any time upon providing ninety days advance written notice to the Corporation.

If the Agreement had been terminated effective April 26, 2022 as a result of a change of control event, the Corporation would have been obligated to pay Felderhof a cash payment of $195,000.

INDEBTEDNESS OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

No current or former directors, executive officers or employees of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or proposed directors, or associates or affiliates of any of these persons, have been indebted to the Corporation or its subsidiaries, or indebted to another entity which indebtedness was the subject of a guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or similar arrangement or understanding provided by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, at any time since the beginning of the Corporation's most recently completed financial year, other than "Routine Indebtedness" as that term is defined in applicable securities legislation.

INTEREST OF INFORMED PERSONS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

None of the directors, executive officers or principal shareholders of the Corporation, or associates or affiliates of any of these persons, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction since the beginning of the Corporation's most recently completed financial year, or in any proposed transaction which, in either case, has materially affected or would materially affect the Corporation or its subsidiaries.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

During the most recently completed financial year, no management functions of the Corporation were to any substantial degree performed by a person or company other than the directors or executive officers of the Corporation.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Corporation is required to include in its Circular disclosure of its corporate governance practices in accordance with National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (" NI 58101 "). NI 58-101 has been adopted by the securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities across Canada (the " Canadian Securities Administrators ").

The Board endorses the efforts of the Canadian Securities Administrators in continuing the evolution of good corporate governance practices. The Board is committed to adhering to the highest standards in all aspects of its activities.

The corporate governance practices described below are subject to change as the Corporation evolves. Some of its practices are representative of its junior size; however, the Corporation has undertaken to periodically monitor and refine such practices as the size and scope of its operations increase. The Board shall remain sensitive to corporate governance issues and shall continuously seek to set up the necessary measures, control mechanisms and structures to ensure an effective discharge of its responsibilities without creating additional undue overhead costs.

Board of Directors

The Board is currently comprised of six (6) directors, namely, G. William Felderhof, Loren Komperdo, John M. Clark, David H. Felderhof, Scott Rhodenizer and John F. (Ted) Grant.

Directors are considered to be independent if they have no direct or indirect material relationship with the Corporation. A "material relationship" is a relationship which could, in the view of the corporation's board of directors, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of the directors' independent judgment. In addition, certain individuals, by definition, are deemed to have a "material relationship" with the Corporation and therefore are deemed not to be independent. Messrs. John F. (Ted) Grant and Scott Rhodenizer are considered independent of the Corporation. Messrs. William Felderhof, Loren Komperdo, David Felderhof and John Clark are not considered to be independent for the following reasons:

(a) Mr. William Felderhof is Executive Chairman of the Corporation; (b) Mr. Komperdo is the President and CEO of the Corporation;
(c) Mr. David Felderhof is Executive Vice President and CFO of the Corporation;
(d) Mr. Clark served as CFO of the Corporation until January 12, 2021.

Directorships

The following directors of the Corporation are currently serving as directors of other reporting issuers:

Director	Name of Other Reporting Issuer
John M. Clark	Russel Metals Inc. (TSX)
	Vista Gold Corp. (TSX, AMEX)

Board Meetings

There were six (6) formal Board meetings during the year ended December 31, 2021. The attendance record of each director at such meetings was as follows:

Director	Number of Meetings Attended/Number of Meetings when the Person was a Director
G. William Felderhof	6/6
Loren Komperdo	6/6
John M. Clark	6/6
David Felderhof	6/6
Scott Rhodenizer	5/6
John F. (Ted) Grant	6/6

In addition, certain of the decisions of the Board of Directors since January 1, 2021, were passed by way of written consent following informal discussions among the directors and management of the Corporation.

Orientation and Continuing Education

When new directors are appointed, they receive orientation, commensurate with their previous experience, regarding the Corporation's properties and business plans and on the responsibilities of directors. New Board members are also given materials outlining the securities law obligations and restrictions on the Board and on the Corporation. Board meetings may also include presentations or briefings by the Corporation's management and employees to give the directors additional insight into the Corporation's business activities. The Corporation also ensures that directors are afforded an opportunity to meet with management to review the operations of the Corporation. Directors are encouraged to participate in the continuing professional education opportunities that their individual professions offer.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board supports ethical business practices. To date, the Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Corporation's governing corporate legislation and the common law and, in particular, the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation 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 Corporation. The Board has not formally adopted a written code of ethics.

Nomination of Directors

The Board does not have a formal process for identifying new candidates for Board nomination. When required, the Board collaborates with management to identify potential candidates and to consider their appropriateness for membership on the Board.

Compensation Committee

The members of the Compensation Committee are John Clark, John F. (Ted) Grant, and Scott Rhodenizer, of whom Messers Grant and Rhodenizer are considered independent, and Mr. Clark is not considered independent as a result of his role as former CFO of the Corporation. The Compensation Committee is responsible to recommend to the Board the compensation levels of the Corporation’s officers. The Compensation Committee also administers the Corporation’s Plan, including stock option grants to the directors and officers. In determining the compensation of the officers, the Compensation Committee evaluates their performance and monitors compensation to ensure that it is appropriate given the Corporation’s level of activity, current stage of development and its available financial resources. Based upon this evaluation, the Compensation Committee makes recommendations to the Board with respect to each executive’s compensation including, as appropriate, salary, bonus, incentive compensation and benefit plan. In addition, the Compensation Committee conducts an informal survey of comparable data in the mining industry, taking into account the size and level of activity of the corporation.

There was one (1) formal Compensation Committee meeting during the year ended December 31, 2021. The attendance record of each member at such meetings was as follows:

Committee Member	Number of Meetings Attended/Number of Meetings when the Person was a Member
John M. Clark	1/1
Scott Rhodenizer	1/1
John F. (Ted) Grant	1/1

AUDIT COMMITTEE

Audit Committee Charter

All members are financially literate within the meaning of National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees (" NI 52-110 "). Messrs. Grant and Rhodenizer are considered independent of the Corporation within the meaning of NI 52-110. The education and experience of each Audit Committee member is described under the heading " Matters to be Voted on at the Meeting - Election of Directors " in this Circular.

Venture issuers such as the Corporation are exempt from the requirement to have an Audit Committee comprised solely of independent members.

There were four (4) formal Audit Committee meetings during the year ended December 31, 2021. The attendance record of each member at such meetings was as follows:

Committee Member	Number of Meetings Attended/Number of Meetings when the Person was a Member
John M. Clark	4/4
John F. (Ted) Grant	4/4
Scott Rhodenizer	3/4

Audit Committee Oversight

At no time since the commencement of the Corporation's most recently completed financial year have any recommendations by the Audit Committee respecting the appointment and/or compensation of the Corporation's external auditors not been adopted by the Board.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Pursuant to NI 52-110, the Audit Committee must approve in advance all non-audit services to be provided to the Corporation by the external auditor. The Audit Committee has not adopted any specific policies and procedures for the engagement of non-audit services. At no time since the commencement of the Corporation's most recently completed financial year has the Corporation retained the external auditor to provide any non-audit services to the Corporation.

External Auditor Service Fees

The fees charged to the Corporation by its external auditor in each of the last two fiscal years are as follows:

		Fiscal Year 2021	Fiscal Year 2020
Audit Fees Audit-Related Fees Tax Fees All Other Fees		$17,250 Nil Nil Nil	$17,150 Nil Nil Nil

Other Exemptions

The Corporation is relying upon exemptions contained in Section 6.1 of NI 52-110 in connection with the following:

Section 6.1 of NI 52-110 exempts the Corporation from the requirement to disclose information relating to the Audit Committee in an annual information form (" AIF ") as the Corporation, like other venture issuers, is exempt from the requirement to file an AIF under Section 6.1 of National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations.
Section 6.1 of NI 52-110 exempts the Corporation from the requirements in Part 3 of NI 52-110 with regard to the composition of the Audit Committee, including the requirement that all members of the Committee must be independent.

Assessments

The Board does not perform regular assessments; however, the Board believes that the size of the Corporation facilitates informal discussion and evaluation of the Board, its committees and its members.

Diversity for the Board and Executive Officers

Effective April 26, 2021 the Corporation adopted a diversity policy which sets out the Corporation’s approach to achieving and maintaining diversity on the Board and in executive officer positions (the " Diversity

Policy "). While the Corporation believes that nominations to the Board and appointments to executive officer positions should be based on merit, the objectives of the Diversity Policy are to recognize that diversity will support balanced debate which, in turn, will enhance decision making. The Corporation recognizes "diversity" as any dimension that can be used to differentiate groups and people from one another including gender, age, ethnic origin, religion, disability and geographical backgrounds.

In accordance with the Diversity Policy, the Board will strive for inclusion of diverse groups, knowledge and viewpoints on the Board and in executive officer positions. In conjunction with its consideration of the qualifications and experience of potential directors and executive officers, as well as the skills, expertise, experience and independence which the Board requires to be effective, the Board will consider the level of diversity (including the representation of women, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities or members of visible minorities (collectively, “ members of designated groups ”)) on the Board when identifying and nominating candidates for election or re-election to the Board, and will consider the level of diversity (including the representation of members of designated groups) in executive officer positions when the Board makes executive officer appointments. The Board will be responsible for recommending qualified persons for Board nominations and in doing so, it will consider the benefits of all aspects of diversity on the Board and develop recruitment protocols that seek to include diverse candidates, including proactively searching for diverse candidates in the recruitment process.

The Board will periodically assess the effectiveness of the nomination and appointment process generally, as well as the effectiveness of the Diversity Policy. As there have not been any changes in the Board or executive team since the adoption of the Diversity Policy, the Corporation is unable to evaluate its progress in achieving its objectives to date.

The Board has not adopted targets regarding members of designated groups on the Board or in executive officer positions at this time. Due to the small size of the Board and the management team, the Board believes that the qualifications and experience of proposed new directors or executive officers should remain the primary consideration in the selection process.
