NOTICE OF ANNUAL

GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

TAKE NOTICE that the annual general meeting

(the “Meeting”) of shareholders (the “Shareholders”) of NexMetals Mining Corp. (“NEXM”

or the “Company”) will be conducted virtually via a live webcast at https://meetnow.global/MJP42UA on Wednesday,

May 27, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. (Vancouver time), for the following purposes:

1. to receive and consider the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the financial

year ended December 31, 2025, together with the auditor’s report thereon;

2. to elect eight (8) directors of the Company for the ensuing year (the “Director Election Resolution”),

being Paul Martin, Mark Christensen, Jason LeBlanc, Keith Marshall, Warwick Morley-Jepson, André van Niekerk, Philipa Varris and

Sean Whiteford, to take office immediately after the Meeting, all as more particularly described in the accompanying management information

circular dated April 23, 2026 (the “Information Circular”);

3. to appoint the independent auditor of the Company for the ensuing year and to authorize the directors

of the Company to fix the remuneration to be paid to the auditor (the “Auditor Appointment Resolution”);

4. to consider and, if thought advisable, pass, with or without variation, an ordinary resolution (the “Omnibus

Plan Resolution”) confirming and approving the Company’s omnibus equity incentive plan, the full text of which is included

as Appendix “E” attached to the Information Circular; and

5. to transact such further or other business as may properly come before the Meeting and any adjournments

thereof.

The accompanying Information Circular provides additional

information relating to the matters to be dealt with at the Meeting and is deemed to form part of this Notice of Meeting. The full text

of the Resolutions is set forth in Appendix “B” – “Resolutions to be Approved at the Meeting” to

the Information Circular.

The Board unanimously recommends that Common Shareholders

vote “FOR” the Resolutions.

The record date for the determination of Common Shareholders

entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting is the close of business on April 22, 2026 (the “Record Date”).

Only Common Shareholders, whose names have been entered in the register of Common Shareholders as of the close of business on the Record

Date will be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting. Each Common Share entitled to vote at the Meeting will entitle

the holder thereof to one vote at the Meeting.

The Meeting will be conducted as a virtual-only

meeting. Registered Common Shareholders (as defined in the Information Circular) and duly appointed proxyholders can attend the Meeting

online at https://meetnow.global/MJP42UA, where they can participate, vote, or submit questions during the Meeting’s live

webcast. Non-registered Common Shareholders (being those who beneficially own Common Shares that are registered in the name of an intermediary

such as a bank, trust company, securities broker or other nominee, or in the name of a depository of which the intermediary is a participant)

who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholder will be able to attend the Meeting online as guests, but will not be able to vote

or ask questions at the Meeting.

In order for a Common Shareholder to be represented

by proxy at the Meeting, they are requested to complete, date, sign and return, in the envelope provided for that purpose, the accompanying

form of proxy (the “Proxy”) for use at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. To be effective, the Proxy must be received

by our transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. (Attention: Proxy Department, by mail: 320 Bay Street, 14th Floor Toronto,

ON M5H 4A6), no later than 9:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on Monday, May 25, 2026, or no later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays

and holidays) prior to the time to which the Meeting may be adjourned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Chair of the Meeting has the

discretion to accept Proxies received after such deadline. A Common Shareholder may use the Internet (www.investorvote.com) or telephone

(1-866-732-VOTE (8683)) to transmit voting instructions on or before the date and time noted above, and may also use the Internet to appoint

a proxyholder to attend and vote on behalf of the Common Shareholder at the Meeting. For information regarding voting or appointing a

proxy, see the Proxy and/or the section entitled “Proxy Related Information” in the accompanying Information Circular.

If a Common Shareholder has received more than one

Proxy because such holder owns Common Shares registered in different names or addresses, each Proxy should be completed and returned.

If you are a non-registered holder of Common Shares

and have received these materials through your broker, custodian, nominee or other intermediary, please complete and return the Proxy

or voting instruction form provided to you by your broker, custodian, nominee or other intermediary in accordance with the instructions

provided therein.

The Proxy confers discretionary authority with respect

to: (i) amendments or variations to the matters to be considered at the Meeting; and (ii) other matters that may properly come before

the Meeting. As of the date hereof, management of NEXM knows of no amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting

other than the matters set forth in this Notice of Meeting. Common Shareholders who are planning on returning the accompanying Proxy are

encouraged to review the Information Circular carefully before submitting the Proxy.

A copy of the Information Circular, the Proxy or voting

instruction form (as applicable) and a financial statement request form accompany this Notice of Meeting.

Dated at the City of Vancouver, in the Province of

British Columbia, this 23rd day of April, 2026.

BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

“Sean Whiteford”

Sean Whiteford

Chief Executive Officer and Director

NexMetals Mining Corp.

Whether or not you expect to attend the Meeting, please complete, date, sign and return the accompanying Proxy at your earliest convenience. The Information Circular provides further information respecting Proxies and the matters to be considered at the Meeting and is deemed to form part of this Notice of Meeting.

The solicitation will be made primarily by mail and may also be supplemented by telephone or other personal contact to be made without

will not reimburse shareholders, nominees or agents for the cost incurred in obtaining from their principals authorization to execute

forms of proxy.

The virtual meeting platform is fully supported across

most commonly used web browsers (note: Internet Explorer is not a supported browser). We encourage you to access the Meeting prior to

the start time. It is important that you are connected to the internet at all times during the Meeting in order to vote when balloting

commences.

Appointment and Revocation of Proxy

Registered Common Shareholders

Registered Common Shareholders may vote their Common

Shares by attending the Meeting or by completing the enclosed Proxy. Registered Common Shareholders should deliver their completed

Proxies to Computershare Investor Services Inc., Proxy Department, 320 Bay Street, 14th Floor, Toronto, ON M5H 4A6 (by mail, telephone

or internet according to the instructions on the Proxy), not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the

time for holding the Meeting. Otherwise, the shareholder will not be entitled to vote at the Meeting by proxy.

The persons named in the Proxy are directors and officers

of the Company and are proxyholders nominated by management. A Common Shareholder has the right to appoint a person or company other

than the nominees of management named in the enclosed instrument of Proxy to represent such Common Shareholder at the Meeting. To exercise

this right, a Common Shareholder must insert the name of its nominee in the blank space provided. A person appointed as a proxyholder

need not be a Common Shareholder.

A registered Common Shareholder may revoke a Proxy

by:

(a) signing a Proxy with a later date and delivering it at the place and within the time noted above;

(b) signing and dating a written notice of revocation (in the same manner as the Proxy is required to be executed,

as set out in the notes to the Proxy) and delivering it to the registered office of the Company, located at 1111 W Hastings St, 15th

Floor, Vancouver, BC V6E 2J3, at any time up to and including the last Business Day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment

thereof at which the Proxy is to be used, or to the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof;

(c) attending the meeting via the webcast and accepting the terms and conditions when entering the meeting

online, in which case any votes cast by such shareholder on a ballot will be counted and the submitted Proxy will be disregarded; or

(d) in any other manner provided by law.

Common Shareholders who wish to appoint a third-party

proxyholder MUST register with Computershare at http://www.computershare.com/Nexmetals after submitting their Proxy

in order to receive an Invite Code for the Meeting. Registering your proxyholder (other than those designated in the accompanying

form of proxy) is an additional step once you have submitted your Proxy. Failure to register such proxyholder will result in the proxyholder

not receiving an Invite Code to participate in the Meeting. To register a proxyholder, shareholders must visit http://www.computershare.com/Nexmetals

by May 25, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) and provide Computershare with their proxyholder’s contact information, so that Computershare

may provide the proxyholder with an Invite Code via email. Without an Invite Code, third party proxyholders will not be able to vote

at the Meeting.

Beneficial Common Shareholders

The information set forth in this section is of

significant importance to many Common Shareholders, as many Common Shareholders do not hold their Common Shares in their own name.

Common Shareholders holding their Common Shares through banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers, trustees or administrators

of self-administered RRSP’s, RRIF’s, RESP’s and similar plans or other persons or otherwise not in their own name (“Beneficial

Common Shareholders”) should note that only Proxies deposited by Common Shareholders appearing on the records maintained by

NEXM’s transfer agent as Registered Common Shareholders will be recognized and allowed to vote at the Meeting. If a Common Shareholder’s

Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to the Common Shareholder by a broker, in all likelihood those shares are not

registered in the Common Shareholder’s name and that shareholder is a Beneficial Common Shareholder. Such Common Shares are most

likely registered in the name of the Common 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,

which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms. Common Shares held by brokers (or their agents or nominees) on behalf of a broker’s

client can only be voted at the Meeting at the direction of the Beneficial Common Shareholder. Without specific instructions, brokers

and their agents and nominees are prohibited from voting shares for the broker’s clients. Therefore, each Beneficial Common Shareholder

should ensure that voting instructions are communicated to the appropriate party well in advance of the Meeting.

Regulatory policies require Intermediaries to seek

voting instructions from Beneficial Common Shareholders in advance of shareholder meetings. Beneficial Common Shareholders have the option

of not objecting to their Intermediary disclosing certain ownership information about themselves to NEXM (such Beneficial Common Shareholders

are designated as non-objecting beneficial owners, or “NOBOs”) or objecting to their Intermediary disclosing ownership

information about themselves to NEXM (such Beneficial Common Shareholders are designated as objecting beneficial owners, or “OBOs”).

In the case of NOBOs, Proxy-related materials and

VIF may have either: (a) been sent by the Company (or its agent) directly to NOBOs, or (b) been sent by the Company (or its agent) to

intermediaries holding on behalf of NOBO’s for distribution to such shareholder, as is the case for this Meeting. If you are a NOBO

and the Company (or its agent) has sent the Proxy materials directly to you, your personal information has been obtained in accordance

with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding on your behalf. By choosing to send these materials to

you directly, the Company (and not the intermediary holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials

to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions.

As it relates to OBOs, NEXM does not intend to pay

for Intermediaries to forward Proxy-related materials and VIFs to OBOs under NI 54-101.

Meeting Materials sent to Beneficial Common Shareholders

are accompanied by a VIF, instead of a Proxy. By returning the VIF in accordance with the instructions noted on it, a Beneficial Common

Shareholder is able to instruct the Intermediary (or other registered shareholder) how to vote the Beneficial Common Shareholder’s

Common Shares on the Beneficial Common Shareholder’s behalf. For this to occur, it is important that the VIF be completed and returned

in accordance with the specific instructions noted on the VIF.

The majority of Intermediaries now delegate responsibility

for obtaining instructions from Beneficial Common Shareholders to Broadridge Investor Communications Corporation (“Broadridge”)

in Canada. Broadridge typically prepares a machine-readable VIF, mails these VIFs to Beneficial Common Shareholders and asks Beneficial

Common Shareholders to return the VIFs to Broadridge, usually by way of mail, the Internet or telephone. Broadridge then tabulates the

results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of shares to be represented at the Meeting

by proxies for which Broadridge has solicited voting instructions. A Beneficial Common Shareholder who receives a VIF from Broadridge

cannot use that form to vote shares directly at the Meeting. The VIF must be returned to Broadridge (or instructions respecting the voting

of shares must otherwise be communicated to Broadridge) well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the shares voted. If you have

any questions respecting the voting of shares held through an Intermediary, please contact that Intermediary for assistance.

5

In any case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit

Beneficial Common Shareholders to direct the voting of the shares, which they beneficially own. A Beneficial Common Shareholder receiving

a VIF cannot use that form to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting – Beneficial Common Shareholders should carefully follow

the instructions set out in the VIF including those regarding when and where the VIF is to be delivered.

If a Beneficial Common Shareholder or their nominee

plans to attend the Meeting and vote, the Beneficial Common Shareholder must appoint themselves or their nominee, as applicable, as proxy

using the VIF. Beneficial Common Shareholders should carefully follow the instructions of their intermediary, including those regarding

when and where the VIF is to be delivered. In order to vote at the Meeting, Beneficial Common Shareholders who appoint themselves or a

nominee as a proxyholder MUST register with Computershare at http://www.computershare.com/Nexmetals after submitting their

VIF in order to receive an Invite Code for the Meeting. Registering a proxyholder is an additional step once the Beneficial Common

Shareholder has submitted its VIF. Failure to register the proxyholder will result in the proxyholder not receiving an Invite Code to

participate in the Meeting. To register a proxyholder, Beneficial Common Shareholders MUST visit http://www.computershare.com/Nexmetals

by May 25, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) and provide Computershare with their proxyholder’s contact information, so that Computershare

may provide the proxyholder with an Invite Code via email. Without an Invite Code, proxyholders will not be able to vote at the Meeting.

Only Registered Common Shareholders have the right

to revoke a Proxy. A Beneficial Common Shareholder who wishes to change its vote must, at least seven days before the Meeting, arrange

for its Intermediary to revoke its VIF on its behalf.

All references to Common Shareholders in this Information

Circular and the accompanying instrument of Proxy and Notice of Meeting are to Registered Common Shareholders, unless specifically stated

otherwise.

Notice-and-Access Rules

The Company has elected to not use the notice-and-access

provisions under NI 51-102 and NI 54-101 (together with NI 51-102, the “Notice-and-Access Provisions”) for the Meeting.

The Notice-and-Access Provisions are a set of rules developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that allows issuers to post electronic

versions of proxy-related materials on-line, via the SEDAR+ and one other website, rather than mailing paper copies of such materials

to Shareholders.

Voting of Common Shares and Exercise of Discretion

of Proxies

If a Common Shareholder specifies a choice with respect

to any matter to be acted upon, the Common Shares represented by Proxy will be voted or withheld from voting by the proxyholder in accordance

with those instructions on any ballot that may be called for. In the enclosed Proxy, in the absence of any instructions in the Proxy,

it is intended that such Common Shares will be voted by the proxyholder, if a Nominee of management, in favour of the motions proposed

to be made at the Meeting as stated under the headings in the Notice of Meeting accompanying this Information Circular. If any amendments

or variations to such matters, or any other matters, are properly brought before the Meeting, the proxyholder, if a Nominee of management,

will exercise its discretion and vote on such matters in accordance with the proxyholder’s best judgment.

The instrument of Proxy enclosed, in the absence of

any instructions in the Proxy, also confers discretionary authority on any proxyholder other than the nominees of management named in

the instrument of Proxy with respect to the matters identified herein, amendments or variations to those matters, or any other matters

which may properly be brought before the Meeting. To enable a proxyholder to exercise its discretionary authority, a Common Shareholder

must strike out the names of the nominees of management in the enclosed instrument of Proxy and insert the name of its nominee in the

space provided and not specify a choice with respect to the matters to be acted upon. This will enable the proxyholder to exercise its

discretion and vote on such matters in accordance with the proxyholder’s best judgment.

6

At the time of printing this Information Circular,

management of NEXM is not aware that any amendments or variations to existing matters or new matters are to be presented for action at

the Meeting, other than as set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

Interest of Certain Persons in Matters to be

Acted Upon

Other than as set forth herein, management of the

Company is not aware of any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, of any of

the following persons in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting other than the election of directors or the appointment of auditors:

(a) each person who has been a director or executive officer of NEXM at any time since the beginning of the

Company’s last financial year;

(b) each proposed Nominee for election as a director of the Company; and

(c) each associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing.

Voting Securities and Principal Holders

As of the date of this Information Circular, the Company’s

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Objectives

The Company’s executive compensation objective

is to attract and retain talented executive officers and encourage them to focus on long-term objectives and promote alignment of interests

with that of the Company. To achieve this, the Company’s executive compensation program has three principal components: base salaries

or consulting fees, annual bonuses and long-term equity incentive awards in the form of Options and RSUs. These principal components are

defined herein. Base salaries or consulting fees are intended to retain executives, annual bonuses reward contributions to advancing the

Company’s objectives, and long-term equity incentives create alignment between executives and shareholder interests.

8

Determination of Compensation

The Board, with the assistance of the Compensation

Committee (“CC”), is responsible for overseeing the Company’s remuneration policies and practices and determining

the compensation of the executive officers and directors. The CC meets at least twice annually to determine such compensation on a discretionary

basis and in accordance with the Company’s executive compensation program.

As of the Record Date, the CC comprised of Paul Martin

(Chair), Jason LeBlanc, Mark Christensen, and Chris Leavy. The Board has determined that Martin, LeBlanc, Christensen and Leavy are all

independent within the meaning of Section 1.4 of National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees and Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq Stock

Market (“Nasdaq”) listing standards (the “Nasdaq Listing Rules”). Each member of the CC brings prior

experience in establishing compensation programs and determining appropriate compensation levels at other organizations. Notably, Mr.

Martin also serves on the Compensation Committee of RPX Gold Inc. and Mr. Christensen, while serving as Vice Chairman and Head of Global

Sales and Trading at GMP Securities, served as a member of the Compensation Committee. The members of the CC possess a broad range of

skills, professional designations, and senior executive experience. Collectively, the CC includes individuals with extensive backgrounds

in corporate governance, talent management, executive leadership, finance, and the mining industry, providing the expertise necessary

to evaluate and oversee the Company’s compensation policies and practices.

Compensation Elements

Base Compensation

The Company provides executive officers with base

salaries or consulting fees, which represent their minimum compensation for services rendered, or expected to be rendered. The executive

officers’ base compensation depends on the scope of their experience, responsibilities, leadership skills, performance, length of

service, general industry trends and practices, competitiveness and the Company’s existing financial resources.

The amount of base compensation is determined through

negotiation of employment terms with each executive officer and is determined on an individual basis. While base compensation is intended

to fit into the Company’s overall compensation objectives by serving to attract and retain talented executive officers, the size

of the Company and the nature and stage of its business also impacts the level of base compensation. Compensation is set with informal

reference to the market for similar jobs in Canada and internationally.

Annual Incentive Bonus

Annual incentive bonuses, in the form of cash payments

or equity grants, are designed to add a variable component of compensation based on corporate and individual performance for executive

officers and employees. The Company has developed an annual incentive award program that articulates performance objectives and specific

measurable goals linked to individual performance criteria set for the executive officers with performance being evaluated following each

financial year.

Long-term Equity Incentives

All long-term equity incentives are granted pursuant

to the Company’s Omnibus Plan. See “Omnibus Plan Description” below for significant terms of the plan. At the

Meeting, the Company will be seeking approval of the Omnibus Plan, the full text of which is set out in Appendix “E” to this

Circular. For further details see “Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon at the Meeting - Approval of the Omnibus Plan”

below.

Options provide an incentive to achieve the longer-term

objectives of the Company, to give suitable recognition to the ability and industry to those who contribute materially to the success

of the Company and to attract and retain persons of experience and ability, by providing them with the opportunity to acquire an increased

proprietary interest in the Company.

9

RSUs are granted as a form of long-term incentive

compensation to provide additional incentive for continued efforts in promoting the growth and success of the business of the Company

and assisting the Company in attracting and retaining senior management personnel and other employees.

The Company awards Options and RSUs based upon the

recommendation of the CC who, among other things, considers the Chief Executive Officer’s proposal. Previous grants of Options and

RSUs are taken into account when considering new grants.

The implementation of new incentive plans and amendments

to the Omnibus Plan are the responsibility of the CC.

Other Compensation

Other than as outlined herein, the Company has no

other forms of compensation.

Executive Officer Compensation

Compensation paid and awarded to each NEO of the Company

is set out below with the following titled tables “Summary Compensation Table”, “Outstanding Share-Based Awards

and Option-Based Awards” and “Incentive Plan Awards – Value Vested or Earned During the Year”. Each

NEO received base compensation and equity-based awards in the most recently completed financial year. No cash incentive bonuses were paid

to executive officers during the Company’s financial year ended December 31, 2025. The CC determines the amount to be paid for each

significant element of compensation on a discretionary basis and in accordance with the Company’s executive compensation program.

While the CC does not, at this time, refer to a peer group to determine overall executive officer compensation, it does refer to a peer

group’s total shareholder return to evaluate the Company’s share price performance which is one component considered in setting

compensation. No significant changes to the Company’s compensation policies were made during or after the most recently completed

financial year that could or will have a material impact on director or NEO compensation.

Compensation Risks

The CC is responsible for considering, reviewing and

establishing executive compensation programs, and for assessing whether the programs encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking. The

CC and the Board believe the Company’s compensation programs are balanced and do not motivate unnecessary or excessive risk taking.

Base compensation amounts are fixed in amount and

thus do not encourage risk taking. Annual bonuses are determined based on objectives set at the beginning of the year and the CC considers,

at the time such objectives are set, whether they would encourage unnecessary or excessive risk-taking to ensure they would not.

RSU and Option awards are important to further align

the interests of executive officers with those of the Company’s shareholders. The ultimate value of the awards is tied to the Company’s

share price and, since awards are staggered and subject to multi-year vesting schedules, they help ensure that NEOs have significant value

tied to long-term share price performance.

Hedging

Directors and Officers are prohibited from entering

into financial instruments that are designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of the Company’s equity securities

that are held directly or indirectly by them or granted as compensation to them. Such prohibited financial instruments with respect to

NEXM’s equity securities include prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, put or call options, and similar financial

instruments.

10

Performance Graph

The following graph compares the total cumulative

shareholder return for $100 invested in NEXM from August 18, 2022, to December 31, 2025, with the cumulative total return of the S&P/TSX

Composite Index and the S&P/TSX Global Base Metals Index for the same period. Following a reverse takeover transaction completed by

way of a triangular amalgamation on August 18, 2022, NEXM, the resulting issuer’s shares, were listed on the TSXV. The share performance

as set out in the graph does not necessarily indicate future price performance.

The trend in the Company’s share price shown

in this chart does not correspond with the compensation paid to NEOs during the same period. Historically, the CC has not relied on share

price performance as a primary factor when determining executive pay. As an exploration and development company, the Company’s priority

is the creation of long-term value for shareholders by advancing its projects and progressing toward key development milestones; these

activities may not correlate with share price movements.

While executive compensation is structured to align

with shareholder interests through the use of equity-based awards, the nature of this alignment has evolved over time. Historically, compensation

relied primarily on option-based awards, which only deliver value if the share price increases over the term of the option. More recently,

the CC has transitioned toward granting RSUs to ensure executives receive a more balanced form of equity-linked compensation that continues

to support alignment with shareholders while also recognizing the retention and recruitment challenges inherent in a competitive talent

market.

Overall, compensation levels have increased over time

to remain competitive and to support the Company’s ability to attract and retain the high-caliber leadership necessary to advance

long-duration exploration and development assets. This approach reflects the CC’s view that skilled management is essential to creating

long-term shareholder value, even in periods where share price performance does not directly reflect the underlying progress of the Company’s

projects.

Notes:

(1)

Shared based compensation including RSUs and DSUs is calculated based on the closing price of the Company’s Common Shares on the date of grant.

(2)

Option-based compensation is valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The volatility was determined using the historical daily volatility over the expected life of the Options. The expected life of the Options considered the contractual term of the Options, as well as an estimate of the time to exercise. The risk-free interest rate is based on Bank of Canada benchmark bond yields taking into consideration the expected life of the Options. The expected dividend yield and forfeiture rate were assumed to be nil. This model was selected as it is widely used in estimating option-based compensation values by public companies.

(3)

Mr. Lekstrom was appointed CEO on February 20, 2025, and stepped down from the position effective January 15, 2026. In March 2025, in connection with the closing of the March 2025 Financing, Mr. Lekstrom was granted 62,500 RSUs (representing $531,250 of the $819,037 in share-based awards shown above) and 50,000 stock options (representing the full amount of $182,709 in option-based awards shown above). The $515,192 of other compensation to Mr. Lekstrom is comprised of negotiated severance payable and accrued but unpaid vacation.

(4)

Mr. MacKay was appointed CFO on June 16, 2025, succeeding Mr. Rawlins who previously held this role since September 2023. The $717,500 of other compensation to Mr. Rawlins is comprised of severance payable.

(5)

Mr. Martin served as Interim CEO from January 1, 2025, to March 19, 2025. Prior to and during this period, he served as a director of the Board. Following this period, he served as Chairman of the Board. The amounts shown under “Share-based awards” above are the value of DSUs awarded to Mr. Martin in connection with his role as Charman of the Board. The amounts shown under “Option-based awards” above are the fair value of Options awarded to Mr. Martin in connection with his role as Interim CEO. The amount shown under “All Other Compensation” consists of director fees paid in cash.

(6)

Mr. Kamstra’s consulting fees were paid in US$ and converted to C$ at the average annual US$:C$ exchange rates of 2025 – 1:1.3978; 2024 – 1:1.3698; 2023 – 1:1.3499. These fees were paid to ANZAC Consulting Ltd., which provides the services of Mr. Kamstra as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer of PRIL. See “Employment, Consulting and Management Agreements”.

(7)

Mr. Whiteford was appointed CEO on January 15, 2026.

Omnibus Plan Description

The Omnibus Plan provides for the award of RSUs and

DSUs and options to purchase Common Shares (“Options” and together with RSUs and DSUs, “Awards”)

to Eligible Persons (as defined below). The RSUs, DSUs and Options issuable to any Participant under the Omnibus Plan, or any pre-existing

RSU Plan, DSU Plan or stock option plan of the Company, shall be hereinafter referred to as “Incentive Securities”.)

The Omnibus Plan was adopted by the Company’s Board on April 24, 2025, and most recently approved by the Company’s shareholders

on June 3, 2025.

On April 9, 2026, the Board approved clarifying amendments

to the Omnibus Plan confirming the Board’s discretion to determine the manner of settlement of DSUs granted under the Omnibus Plan

(either in cash or in shares) in the absence of specification in the applicable award agreement.

The following is a summary of the principal terms

of the Omnibus Plan, which is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Omnibus Plan, a copy of which is attached on Appendix

“E” to this Information Circular.

Awards under the Omnibus Plan may be granted by the

Board to “Eligible Persons”, who are directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries,

eligible persons who are employees of a company providing management services to the Company, or, in certain circumstances, charitable

organizations. The Board has sole discretion to determine who is eligible under the Omnibus Plan and to whom Awards may be granted, subject

to the express provisions of the Omnibus Plan and the rules and policies of the TSXV.

Purpose

The purpose of the Omnibus Plan is to promote the

long-term success of the Company and the creation of shareholder value by: (i) encouraging the attraction and retention of Eligible Persons;

(ii) encouraging such Eligible Persons to focus on critical long-term objectives; and (iii) promoting greater alignment of the interests

of such Eligible Persons with the interests of the Company, in each case as applicable to the type of Eligible Person to whom an Award

is granted.

Plan Administration

The Omnibus Plan is administered and interpreted by

the Board or, by a committee appointed by the Board. The day-to-day administration of the Omnibus Plan may be delegated to such officers

and employees of the Company as the Board determines. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made or approved by

the Board in good faith shall be final and conclusive and shall be binding on any Participants of the Omnibus Plan and the Company, subject

to any required approval of the applicable securities exchange.

14

Common Shares Available for Awards

Unless otherwise approved by the applicable securities

exchange and the Common Shareholders (disinterested shareholders, if required) from time to time, the maximum aggregate number of Common

Shares issuable in respect of all Incentive Securities granted or issued under the Company’s Security Based Compensation Plans,

at any point, shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding Shares on a non-diluted basis at such point in time.

For greater certainty, this limitation applies to all Incentive Securities granted or issued under the Company’s Security Based

Compensation Plans at any point in time, including those held by Insiders (as a group) at any point in time. The maximum aggregate number

of Common Shares issuable under the Company’s Security Based Compensation Plans pursuant to Incentive Stock Options is 3,564,816

Shares, representing ten percent (10%) of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis as of April

9, 2026, the date the Omnibus Plan was adopted by the Company’s board of directors (the “ISO Limit”).

Participation Limits

The Omnibus Plan provides the following limitations

on grants:

(a)

the aggregate number of Common Shares issuable to any one Consultant of the Company (“Consultant”) in any 12-month period in respect of Incentive Securities shall not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis, calculated at the date an Award is granted to the Consultant;

(b)

the aggregate number of Common Shares issuable to any one person in any 12-month period in respect of Incentive Securities shall not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis, calculated on the date an Award is granted to the person, unless the Company has obtained the requisite disinterested shareholder approval;

(c)

the aggregate number of Common Shares issuable to all Insiders (as a group) in any 12-month period in respect of Incentive Securities, shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis, calculated on the date an Award is granted to a particular Insider, unless the Company has obtained the requisite disinterested shareholder approval;

(d)

Eligible Persons who are Investor Relations Service Providers may only receive Options as Awards under the Omnibus Plan (if the Common Shares are listed on the applicable securities exchange) and the aggregate number of Common Shares issuable to all Investor Relations Service Providers in respect of Incentive Securities in any 12-month period shall not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis, calculated on the date an Award is granted to the Investor Relations Service Provider; and

Eligibility and Participation

Subject to the provisions of the Omnibus Plan (including,

without limitation, restrictions on grants to Investor Relations Service Providers and Eligible Charitable Organizations) and such other

terms and conditions as the Board may prescribe, the Board may, from time to time, grant Awards of RSUs, DSUs and Options to all categories

of Eligible Persons.

General Vesting Requirement

No Award granted or issued under the Omnibus Plan,

other than Options, may vest before the date that is one year following the date it is granted or issued. Subject to the approval of the

applicable securities exchange with respect to Awards held by Investor Relations Service Providers, vesting may be accelerated by the

Board for Awards held by a participant (“Participant”) in the event of death or who ceases to be an Eligible Person

under the Omnibus Plan in connection with a change of control, take-over bid, reverse takeover or other similar transaction. All Options

granted to Investor Relations Service Providers must vest and become exercisable in stages over a period of not less than 12 months, with

no more than ¼ of such Options vesting and becoming exercisable in any three-month period.

Description of RSUs

An RSU is an Award granted as part of the Company’s

compensation program to reward services rendered and to provide both short-term and long-term incentives to participants. Upon settlement,

it entitles the recipient Participant to receive a number of Common Shares equal to the number of RSUs credited to a Participant’s

Account on certain vesting dates.

RSUs shall be subject to such restrictions as the

Board, in its discretion, may establish or determine in the applicable award agreement (“Award Agreement”) or at the

time an Award is granted. Unless otherwise provided for in an Award Agreement, all RSUs will vest and become payable by the issuance of

Common Shares at the end of the restricted period as specified by the Board in the applicable Award Agreement. Unless otherwise determined

by the Board, upon the occurrence of a change of control event, all restrictions upon any RSUs shall lapse immediately and all such RSUs

shall become fully vested.

Effect of Termination on RSUs

Except as otherwise set forth in an applicable Award

Agreement and subject to the provisions of the Omnibus Plan, RSUs shall be subject to the following conditions:

(a)

Death: upon death of a Participant, any RSUs granted to such Participant which, prior to the Participant’s death, had not vested, will be immediately and automatically forfeited and cancelled; Any RSUs granted to such Participant, which prior to the Participant’s death, had vested, will accrue to the Participant’s estate in accordance with the provisions of the Omnibus Plan;

(b)

Termination of Employment or Service for Cause: where a Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company for cause, or where a Participant’s consulting agreement is terminated as a result of the Participant’s breach, all RSUs granted to such Participant will be immediately and automatically forfeited and cancelled;

(c)

Termination of Employment or Service without Cause, Voluntary Termination, Retirement or Disability: where a Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company without cause, by voluntary termination, due to retirement or due to disability, or where a Participant’s consulting agreement is terminated for a reason other than the Participant’s breach or due to disability, any RSUs granted to such Participant which, prior to termination, had not vested, will be immediately and automatically forfeited and cancelled. Any RSUs granted to such Participant, which prior to termination, had vested, will accrue to the Participant in accordance with the provisions of the Omnibus Plan; and

(d)

Directorships: where a Participant ceases to be a director for any reason, any RSUs granted to such Participant which, prior to cessation, have not vested, will be immediately and automatically forfeited and cancelled. Any RSUs granted to such Participant, which prior to cessation, have vested, will accrue to the Participant in accordance with the provisions of the Omnibus Plan.

16

Description of DSUs

A DSU is an Award that is payable after the effective

date that a Participant ceases to be an Eligible Person under the Omnibus Plan, subject to certain vesting criteria. Unless otherwise

determined by the Board, upon the occurrence of a change of control event, all DSUs shall become fully vested.

The payment of DSUs will occur on the date that is

designated by the Participant and communicated to the Company by the Participant in writing at least 15 days prior to the designated day,

or such earlier date as the Participant and Company may agree. If no notice is given by the Participant for a designated day, the DSUs

shall be payable on the first anniversary of the date on which the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Person for any reason or any earlier

period on which the DSUs vested, as the case may be, at the sole discretion of the Participant.

Election by Directors - DSUs

Under the Omnibus Plan, directors may elect to receive

directorship fees in the form of DSUs which an election must be made within certain timeframes as specified in the Omnibus Plan. In case

of an election by a Director, the number of DSUs to be credited shall be determined by dividing applicable directorship fees with the

market price on the grant date of the DSUs or if more appropriate, another trading range that best represents the period for which the

DSUs were earned (subject to minimum pricing requirements under applicable securities exchange policies). No fractional DSUs shall be

credited to any director.

Description of Options

An Option is an Award that gives a Participant the

right to purchase one Common Share at a specified price in accordance with the terms of the Option and the Omnibus Plan. The exercise

price of the Options shall be determined by the Board at the time the Option is granted but in no event shall such exercise price be lower

than the discounted market price permitted by the applicable securities exchange.

The maximum term of any Option shall not exceed 5

years and the Board shall determine the vesting, performance and other conditions, if any, that must be satisfied before all or part of

an Option may be exercised, subject to any vesting restrictions set out in the provisions of the Omnibus Plan. Unless otherwise determined

by the Board, upon the occurrence of a change of control event, all Options shall become fully vested except for Options held by Investor

Relations Service Providers which acceleration is subject to acceptance of the applicable securities exchange.

Options will be exercised pursuant to their applicable

Award Agreement which exercise shall be contingent upon receipt by the Company of a written notice of exercise set forth in the applicable

Award Agreement and of a form of cash payment acceptable to the Company for the full purchase price of the Common Shares to be issued.

17

Except as otherwise set forth in an applicable Award

Agreement and subject to the provisions of the Omnibus Plan, Options shall be subject to the following conditions:

(a)

Death: upon death of a Participant, any Options held by such Participant at the date of death shall be exercisable (by an inheritor or the Participant’s estate) for a period of 120 days after the date of death or prior to the expiration of the Option, whichever is sooner, only to the extent the Participant was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of death of such Participant;

(b)

Termination of Employment or Service for Cause: where a Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company for cause, or where a Participant’s consulting agreement is terminated as a result of the Participant’s breach, no Option shall be exercisable from the date of termination as determined by the Board;

(c)

Termination of Employment or Service without Cause, Voluntary Termination or Retirement: where a Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company without cause, by voluntary termination, due to retirement, or where a Participant’s consulting agreement is terminated for a reason other than the Participant’s breach, any Options held by such Participant at the date of termination shall be exercisable for a period of 90 days (or such longer period, not to exceed 12 months, as may be specified by resolution of the Board) after the date of termination determined by the Board or prior to the expiration of the Option, whichever is sooner, only to the extent the Participant was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination;

(d)

Disability: where a Participant’s employment or consulting agreement is terminated by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company due to disability, any Options held by such Participant at the date of termination shall be exercisable for a period of 120 days after the date of termination determined by the Board or prior to the expiration of the Option, whichever is sooner, only to the extent the Participant was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination; and

(e)

Directorships: where a Participant ceases to be a director for any reason, any Options held by such Participant on the Cessation Date shall be exercisable for a period of 90 days (120 days in case of termination due to disability) or such longer period, not to exceed 12 months, as may be specified by resolution of the Board after the Cessation Date or prior to the expiration of the Option, whichever is sooner, only to the extent the director was entitled to exercise the Option at the Cessation Date. “Cessation Date” means the effective date on which a Participant ceases to be an Eligible Person for any reason, provided that if the Cessation Date triggers payment of any Award which is “deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A, the Cessation Date shall be the date of Separation from Services.

Non-Transferability of Awards

No Award and no right under any such Award, shall

be assignable, alienable, saleable, or transferable by a Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

No Award and no right under any such Award, may be pledged, alienated, attached, or otherwise encumbered, and any purported pledge, alienation,

attachment, or encumbrance thereof shall be void and unenforceable against the Company.

Amendment and Termination of the Omnibus Plan

The Board may at any time or from time to time, in

its sole and absolute discretion, amend, suspend, terminate or discontinue the Omnibus Plan and may amend the terms and conditions of

any Awards granted thereunder, subject to: (i) any required approval of any applicable regulatory authority or applicable securities exchange;

and (ii) any required approval of Common Shareholders in accordance with the provisions of the Omnibus Plan or applicable law.

Amendments to Awards

Subject to compliance with applicable laws and applicable

securities exchange policies, the Board may make amendments or alterations to Awards, provided that no amendment or alteration shall be

made which would impair the rights of any Participant, without such Participant’s consent, provided that no such consent shall be

required if the amendment or alteration is: (i) either required or advisable in respect of compliance with any law, regulation or requirement

of any accounting standard; or (ii) not reasonably likely to significantly diminish the benefits provided under such Award.

The Company will be required to obtain disinterested

shareholder approval, in accordance with the provisions of the Omnibus Plan, in respect of any extension or reduction in the exercise

price of Options granted to any Participant if the Participant is an Insider at the time of the proposed reduction or extension.

18

Pension Disclosure

No pension, retirement or deferred compensation plans, including defined

contributions plans, have been instituted by the Company and none are proposed at this time.

Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation

The Board has adopted a Compensation Recovery Policy

to create and maintain a culture that emphasizes integrity and accountability and reinforces the Corporation’s compensation philosophy.

The Compensation Recovery Policy provides for the recovery of erroneously awarded incentive compensation in the event that the Corporation

is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance of the Corporation with any financial reporting requirements

under the federal securities laws. A copy of the Compensation Recovery Policy is available on the Company’s website at https://nexmetalsmining.com/leadership/#governance.

APPENDIX

“C” – CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

FORM

58-101F1 – CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

The

board of directors (the “Board”) of NexMetals Mining Corp. (the “Company”) believes that good corporate

governance improves corporate performance and benefits all shareholders. National Policy 58-201 – Corporate Governance Guidelines

provides non-prescriptive guidelines on corporate governance practices for reporting issuers such as the Company. In addition, National

Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“NI 58-101”) prescribes certain disclosure

by the Company of its corporate governance practices. This disclosure is presented below in accordance with Form 58-101F1 – Corporate

Governance Disclosure of NI 58-101. All capitalized terms used in this Appendix “C” – “Corporate Governance

Disclosure“ have the meanings set forth herein and, unless the context otherwise requires, should not be interpreted with reference

to the “Glossary“ in the Information Circular.

The

Company has reviewed its corporate governance practices against the requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”)

and determined the significant ways in which its corporate governance practices differ from those followed by U.S. companies under the

Nasdaq listing standards (the “Nasdaq Listing Rules”) for corporate governance. A description of the significant ways

in which the Company’s corporate governance practices differ from those followed by U.S. companies pursuant to the applicable Nasdaq

Listing Rules is disclosed on the Company’s website at https://nexmetalsmining.com/leadership/#governance.

Item

1: Board Of Directors

The

Board supervises the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. Both the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial

Officer are required to act in accordance with the scope of authority provided to them by the Board. The proposed Board will consist

of eight (8) directors, all of whom, except Mr. Whiteford, are independent for the purposes of NI 58-101 and Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq

Listing Rules. For the purposes of determining independence under NI 58-101 and Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, a director is

independent if the director has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company which could, in the view of the Board, be

reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of the director’s independent judgment.

Mark

Christensen is “independent” in that he is free from any direct or indirect material relationship with the Company.

Jason

LeBlanc is “independent” in that he is free from any direct or indirect material relationship with the Company.

Keith

Marshall is “independent” in that he is free from any direct or indirect material relationship with the Company.

Paul

Martin is “independent” in that he is free from any direct or indirect material relationship with the Company.

Warwick

Morley-Jepson is “independent” in that he is free from any direct or indirect material relationship with the Company.

André

van Niekerk is “independent” in that he is free from any direct or indirect material relationship with the Company.

Philipa

Varris is “independent” in that she is free from any direct or indirect material relationship with the Company.

Sean

Item

2: Board Mandate

The

Company’s Board Mandate is attached as Schedule “A” to this Appendix “C”.

Item

3: Position Descriptions

On

April 9, 2026, the Board amended the Board Mandate and added Position Descriptions for the Board Chair, Chief Executive Officer and Committee

Chairs (see Schedules “A”, “B” and “C” to the Board Mandate respectively).

Item

4: Orientation and Continuing Education

New

Board members receive an orientation package which includes reports on operations and results, and public disclosure filings by the Company.

Board meetings are sometimes held at the Company’s offices and, from time to time, are combined with presentations by the Company’s

management to give the directors additional insight into the Company’s business.

C-2

No

formal continuing education program currently exists for the directors of the Company. However, the Company provides continuing education

to directors on an ad hoc basis, as required, including updates and briefings on the Company’s business, operations, and relevant

legal and regulatory developments to assist directors in fulfilling their obligations. In addition, the Board seeks to ensure that its

members maintain the necessary skills and knowledge by appointing directors with significant experience and expertise in areas relevant

to the Company’s business, including financial, legal, and mining matters.

Item

5: Ethical Business Conduct

The

Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”). The Board and Chair of the Audit & Risk

Management Committee are responsible for overseeing compliance with the Code and the CEO is charged with ensuring adherence to the Code.

Additionally, compliance with the Code is based on the cooperation and vigilance of all persons subject to the Code. Each of the Company’s

directors, officers, employees, consultants and agents are provided with a copy of the Code and are required to certify that they have

read, understand, and agree to comply with the Code. A copy of the Code is available on the Company’s website at https://nexmetalsmining.com/leadership/#governance.

The

Board takes steps to ensure that directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in which a director

or executive officer has a material interest. These measures include maintaining and enforcing the Code, which requires the disclosure

of actual or potential conflicts of interest and adherence to established procedures for addressing such conflicts. Directors, officers

and employees are expected to be familiar with the Code and to report any conflicts to the Audit & Risk Management Committee. Additionally,

the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors under the Business Corporations Act (“Act”) and the common

law and the restrictions placed by the Act on an individual director’s participation in decisions of the Board in which the director

has an interest, ensure that directors exercise independent judgement in considering transactions and agreements in respect of which

a director or executive officer has a material interest.

The

Board has also adopted a “Whistle Blowing Policy” wherein employees and consultants of the Corporation are provided with

the mechanics by which they may raise concerns in a confidential, anonymous process with respect to accounting matters generally, internal

accounting and/or controls, the conduct of the audit of the Company’s financial accounts and statements or related matters, or

other “non-financial” matters, which, if disclosed, could reasonably be expected to raise concerns regarding the integrity,

ethics or bona fides of the Company.

Item

6: Nomination of Directors

The

Board reviews its size and composition at least annually, taking into account the number of directors and the skills and experience required

to carry out the Board’s duties effectively.

The

Board has a Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, currently composed of André van Niekerk (Chair), Mark Christensen and

Chris Leavy, each of whom is an independent director within the meaning set out in NI 58-101 and Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq Listing Rules,

which assists the Board with the above-noted matter relating to the nominations.

The

primary function of the Corporate Governance & Nominating Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities

by assessing the effectiveness of the Board as a whole, as well as evaluating the contribution of individual members; assessing and improving

the Company’s governance practices; proposing new nominees for appointment to the Board; and orientating new directors. A copy

of the Charter of the Corporate Governance & Nominating Committee is available on the Company’s website at https://nexmetalsmining.com/leadership/#governance.

C-3

Item

7: Compensation

The

Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things, evaluating the performance of the Company’s executive officers,

determining or making recommendations to the Board with respect to the compensation of the Company’s executive officers, making

recommendations to the Board with respect to director compensation, incentive compensation plans and equity-based plans, making recommendations

to the Board with respect to the compensation policy for the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and ensuring that the Company

is in compliance with all legal requirements with respect to compensation disclosure. In performing its duties, the Compensation Committee

has the authority to engage such advisors, including executive compensation consultants, as it considers necessary.

The

Compensation Committee is currently composed of Paul Martin (Chair), Mark Christensen, Chris Leavy and Jason LeBlanc, each of whom is

an independent director within the meaning set out in NI 58-101 and Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

Each

current member of the Compensation Committee is an experienced participant in business or finance, and each has prior experience as a

director of other companies, charities or business associations, in addition to the Board.

The

recommendations of the Compensation Committee are based primarily on analysis which compares the Company’s pay levels and compensation

practices with other reporting issuers of similar size and which are active in the industry and/or market in which the Company competes

for talent. This analysis provides valuable information that will allow the Company to make adjustments, if necessary, to attract and

retain the best individuals to meet the Company’s needs and provide value to Shareholders.

A

copy of the Charter of the Compensation Committee is available on the Company’s website at https://nexmetalsmining.com/leadership/#governance.

Item

8: Other Board Committees

In

addition to the Audit & Risk Management Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Corporate Governance & Nominating Committee,

the Board has a Safety, Sustainability & Technical Committee.

The

Safety, Sustainability & Technical Committee is currently composed of Warwick Morley-Jepson (Co-Chair), Philipa Varris (Co-Chair)

and James Gowans, each of whom is an independent director within the meaning set out in NI 58-101 and Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq Listing

Rules.

The

primary function of the Safety, Sustainability & Technical Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities

relating to the Company’s:

commitment

to maintain healthy and safe workplaces, environmentally sound and responsible resource development, good community relations and

the protection of human rights; and

exploration,

project development, and mining activities and the public disclosure of technical information concerning the Company’s material

properties, as required by applicable securities laws.

A

copy of the Charter of the Safety, Sustainability & Technical Committee is available on the Company’s website at https://nexmetalsmining.com/leadership/#governance.

Item

9: Assessments

The

Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for monitoring the effectiveness of the Board, its committees and individual

directors. On at least an annual basis, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee surveys all members of the Board to solicit

feedback on the performance of the Board, each committee of the Board and each director. This feedback is then taken to the Board by

the Chair of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and discussed by the Board to determine what, if any, changes are warranted.

C-4

Item

10: Director Term Limits

The

Company has not adopted term limits for its directors or other formal mechanisms of board renewal. The Board is of the view that imposing

term limits may reduce continuity and the benefit of experience on the Board and could result in the loss of valuable, experienced and

knowledgeable directors, which may not be in the best interests of the Company. To support effective board renewal, the Corporate Governance

and Nominating Committee conducts assessments of the Board, its committees and individual directors. These assessments include consideration

of director tenure, performance, and the overall composition and effectiveness of the Board and its committees. The results of these

assessments are reported to the Board, together with any recommendations regarding Board composition.

Item

11: Board and Senior Management Diversity Disclosure

The

Company has not adopted a written policy relating to the identification and nomination of women directors. The Board is of the view that

its existing nomination process, which emphasizes merit, experience, skills and the needs of the Board, is effective in identifying qualified

candidates, including women. In identifying and recommending candidates for nomination, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee

considers a broad range of factors, including professional experience, expertise, personal qualities and diversity, but does not apply

specific quotas or targets based on gender. Similarly, the Company does not specifically consider the level of representation of women

in executive officer positions when making executive officer appointments and has not adopted targets in respect of women in such positions.

Appointments of executive officers are based on merit, qualifications, experience and the needs of the Company at the relevant time.

The

Board believes that, given the Company’s current stage of development and the size of the Board, adopting a formal written policy

or targets is not necessary at this time and could unduly restrict the selection of the most qualified candidates. The Board will continue

to monitor its composition and the composition of the Company’s management team and may consider adopting such a policy in the

future as circumstances evolve.

The

Company currently has one female director, representing approximately 12.5% of the directors standing for election. The Company currently

has one female executive officer, representing approximately 16.6% of the executive officers of the Company, including its major subsidiaries.

For additional disclosure in respect of the Company’s directors and executive officers, please see sections titled Particulars

of Matters to be Acted Upon at the Meeting – Election of the Directors and Statement of Executive Compensation of this

Information Circular.

DIRECTOR RESPONSIBILITIES

The

primary responsibility of individual directors is to act honestly and in good faith and to exercise their business judgment in what they

reasonably believe to be the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

The

Board has developed the following specific expectations of directors to promote the discharge by the directors of their responsibilities

and to promote the proper conduct of the Board:

Understand

business, its strategy, business operations, financial position and performance, the risks it faces and the social and political

environments in which it operates.

Loyalty

and Ethics. All directors owe a duty of loyalty to the Company which requires each director to put the best interests of the

Company ahead of any other commercial interest he or she may have. Directors are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with

the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Directors must disclose any conflict of interest on any issue, including

any interest in a material contract or transaction, brought before the Board and refrain from participating in the Board discussion

and voting on the matter unless asked by the Board to do so.

Prepare

for Meetings. Directors are expected to diligently prepare for each meeting, including by reviewing all materials circulated

in advance of each meeting and should arrive prepared to discuss the issues presented. Directors are encouraged to contact the Board

Chair, committee Chairs, the Chief Executive Officer and any other appropriate officer to ask questions and discuss agenda items

prior to meetings.

C-8

Attend

Meetings. Directors are expected to maintain a high attendance record at meetings of the Board. Attendance by telephone or video

conference may be used to facilitate a director’s attendance.

Participate

in Meetings. Directors are expected to be active and effective participants in the deliberations of the Board by participating

fully and frankly in Board discussions and encouraging free and open discussion of the affairs of the Company.

Continuing

Education. Directors are expected to pursue continuing education opportunities to maintain and enhance their abilities as directors

and ensure that their knowledge of the business of the Company remains current.

Other

Directorships and Significant Activities. The Company values the experience directors bring from other boards on which they serve

and other activities in which they participate but recognizes that those boards and activities may also present demands on a director’s

time and availability and may present conflicts or legal issues, including independence issues. Each director should, when considering

membership on another board, make every effort to ensure that such membership will not impair the director’s time and availability

for his or her commitment to the Company. The Board believes that this objective is served by limiting the number of other public

company boards on which a director may serve to three and, in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, to one. Directors must advise

the Board Chair and the Chief Executive Officer before accepting membership on the board of another public company or establishing

other significant relationships, particularly those that may result in significant time commitments.

Confidentiality.

Each director must maintain the confidentiality of information received in connection with his or her services as a director or Chief

Executive Officer.

Board shall review, at least annually, the Board’s duties, responsibilities and performance and determine if any changes in practices

of the Board or amendments to this Charter are necessary.

SHARES AVAILABLE FOR AWARDS

4.1 LIMITATIONS

ON SHARES AVAILABLE FOR ISSUANCE.

4.1.1 The

maximum aggregate number of Shares issuable in respect of all Incentive Securities granted

or issued under this Plan and all of the Company’s other previously established or

proposed Security Based Compensation plans to which these limitations apply under Exchange

policies (collectively, “Security Based Compensation Plans”), at any point

in time, shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the total number of issued and outstanding

Shares on a non-diluted basis at such point in time. The maximum aggregate number of Shares

issuable under this Plan pursuant to Incentive Stock Options is 3,564,816 Shares, representing

ten percent (10%) of the total number of issued and outstanding Shares on a non-diluted basis

as of the date this Plan is adopted by the Company’s board of directors (the “ISO

Limit”). For the avoidance of doubt, the ISO Limit shall be automatically readjusted

if the number of issued and outstanding Shares is increased or decreased as a result of a

Share split or consolidation or Share dividend, all to the extent consistent with the provisions

U.S. Treas. Reg. §1.422-2(b)(2)(iii).

4.1.2 The

maximum aggregate number of Shares issuable to any one Consultant in any twelve (12) month

period in respect of all Incentive Securities granted or issued under Security Based Compensation

Plans shall not exceed two percent (2%) of the issued and outstanding Shares on a non-diluted

basis on the Grant Date.

4.1.3 The

maximum aggregate number of Shares issuable to any one Participant in any twelve (12) month

period in respect of all Incentive Securities granted or issued under Security Based Compensation

Plans shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding Shares on a non-diluted

basis on the Grant Date, unless the Company has obtained the requisite disinterested shareholder

approval pursuant to the Policy.

4.1.4 The

maximum aggregate number of Shares issuable to all Insiders (as a group) at any point in

time in respect of all Incentive Securities granted or issued under Security Based Compensation

Plans shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding Shares on a non-diluted

basis at such point in time.

4.1.5 The

maximum aggregate number of Shares issuable to all Insiders (as a group) in any twelve (12)

month period in respective of all Incentive Securities granted or issued under Security Based

Compensation Plans shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding Shares

on a non-diluted basis on the Grant Date, unless the Company has obtained the requisite disinterested

shareholder approval pursuant to the Policy.

4.1.6 Eligible

Persons who are Investor Relations Service Providers may only receive Options as Awards under

this Plan if the Shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange at the time of issuance or

grant, and the maximum aggregate number of Shares issuable to all Investor Relations Service

Providers in any twelve (12) month period pursuant to the exercise of Options shall not exceed

two percent (2%) of the issued and outstanding Shares on a non-diluted basis on the Grant

Date.

E-7

4.1.7 Eligible

Persons who are Eligible Charitable Organizations may only receive Options as Awards under

this Plan if the Shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange at the time of issuance or

grant, and the maximum aggregate number of Shares issuable to all Eligible Charitable Organizations

at any point in time in respect of all Incentive Securities granted or issued under Security

Based Compensation Plans shall not exceed one percent (1%) of the issued and outstanding

Shares on a non-diluted basis at such point in time. Notwithstanding any other provisions

of this Plan, Options granted to Eligible Charitable Organizations will not be included in

the other limits set out in this Section 4 or elsewhere in this Plan.

4.2 ACCOUNTING

FOR AWARDS. The number of Shares underlying an Award, or to which such Award relates, shall

be counted on the Grant Date of such Award against the aggregate number of Shares available

for granting or issuing Awards under this Plan. As this Plan is a “rolling up to 10%”

Security Based Compensation plan, as such term is used in the Policy, the number of Incentive

Securities issuable under this Plan will replenish in an amount equal to the number of Shares

issued pursuant to the exercise or vesting, as applicable, of such Incentive Securities at

any point in time but in no event shall it increase the ISO Limit set forth herein. Notwithstanding

anything herein to the contrary, any Shares related to Awards which have been settled in

cash, through Net Exercise, cancelled, surrendered, forfeited, expired or otherwise terminated

without the issuance of such Shares shall be available again for granting Awards under this

Plan, provided, however, that such Shares shall not increase the ISO Limit set forth herein.

4.3 ADJUSTMENTS

FOR SHARE SPLITS AND CONSOLIDATIONS. If the number of outstanding Shares is increased or

decreased as a result of a Share split or consolidation, the Board may make appropriate adjustments,

in accordance with the terms of this Plan, the policies of the Exchange, and applicable laws,

to the number and price (or other basis upon which an Award is measured) of Incentive Securities

credited to a Participant; provided that to the extent any Award is made to a U.S. Participant

and is subject to Code Section 409A or Section 422, no such adjustments shall be made to

the extent the adjustment would violate the requirements of Code Section 409A or Section

422, as applicable. Any determinations by the Board as to the required adjustments shall

be made in its sole discretion and all such adjustments shall be conclusive and binding for

all purposes under this Plan.

4.4 OTHER

ADJUSTMENTS. Any adjustment, other than as noted in Subsection 4.3, to an Award granted or

issued under this Plan must be subject to the prior acceptance of the Exchange, including

adjustments related to an amalgamation, merger, arrangement, reorganization, recapitalization,

spin-off, dividend or other distribution. Any increase in the number of Shares underlying

outstanding Awards as a result of the adjustment provisions provided in Subsection 4.3 or

4.4 is subject to compliance with the limits set out in Subsection 4.1 and, if any increase

in the number of Shares underlying outstanding Awards as a result of the adjustment provisions

provided in Subsection 4.3 or 4.4 would result in any limit set out in Subsection 4.1 being

exceeded, then the Company may, if determined by the Board in its sole and unfettered discretion

(subject to the prior approval of the Exchanges, if applicable), make payment in cash to

the Participant in lieu of increasing the number of Shares underlying outstanding Awards

in order to properly reflect any diminution in value of the underlying Shares as a result

of the event that triggers the adjustment. Awards issued in connection with the assumption

of, or in substitution for, outstanding options intended to qualify as “incentive stock

options” within the meaning of Code Section 422 shall be counted against the ISO Limit.

Any adjustment in Incentive Stock Options under this Subsection 4.4 (other than any cancellation

of Incentive Stock Options) shall be made only to the extent not constituting a “modification”

within the meaning of Code Section 424(h)(3). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such adjustment

shall be made or authorized with respect to an Award granted to a U.S. Participant to the

extent that such adjustment would cause the Plan or any Award to violate Code Section 409A.

E-8

4.5 VESTING

REQUIREMENT. No Award granted or issued under this Plan, other than Options, may vest before

the date that is one (1) year following the date it is granted or issued. Notwithstanding

this provision, subject to the approval of the Exchange with respect to Awards held by Investor

Relations Service Providers, vesting may be accelerated by the Board in its sole discretion

for Awards held by a Participant who dies or who ceases to be an Eligible Person under this

Plan in connection with a change of control, take-over bid, reverse takeover or other similar

transaction as permitted by section 4.6 of the Policy. All Options granted to Investor Relations

Service Providers must vest and become exercisable in stages over a period of not less than

twelve (12) months, with no more than one-quarter (1/4) of such Options vesting sooner than

three (3) months after the Options were granted and no more than another one-quarter (1/4)

of the Options becoming exercisable in any following three (3) month period. With respect

to Awards made on the date of an annual shareholders meeting to Directors, the one (1) year

vesting period required by this Subsection 4.5 shall be deemed satisfied if such Awards vest

on the earlier of the first anniversary of the Grant Date or the first annual shareholders

meeting following the Grant Date (provided that it is not less than fifty-two (52) weeks

following the Grant Date).

4.6 OPTION

PLAN. As of the Effective Date, Options which are outstanding under the Option Plan shall

continue to be exercisable and shall be deemed to be governed by and be subject to the terms

and conditions of this Plan, except to the extent that the terms of this Plan are more restrictive

than the terms of the Option Plan under which such Options were originally granted, in which

case the Option Plan shall govern, provided that any Options granted, issued or amended after

November 23, 2021 must comply with the Policy (as at November 24, 2021).

4.7 RESALE

RESTRICTIONS. All Incentive Securities shall be subject to any applicable resale restrictions

pursuant to applicable securities laws. In addition, Incentive Securities and Shares underlying

Incentive Securities that are subject to the Exchange Hold Period pursuant to Exchange Policy

1.1 must contain a legend with the Exchange Hold Period commencing on the Grant Date, and

the Award Agreement shall contain any applicable resale restriction or Exchange Hold Period.

4.8 BONA

FIDE PARTICIPANTS. In respect of Awards granted to Employees, Consultants, Consultant Companies

or Management Company Employees, the Company and the Participant is representing herein and

in the applicable Award Agreement that the Participant is a bona fide Employee, Consultant,

Consultant Company or Management Company Employee, as the case may be, of the Company or

a subsidiary of the Company. The execution of an Award Agreement shall constitute conclusive

evidence that it has been completed in compliance with this Plan.

Participant’s employment or consulting agreement with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company is terminated due to

Disability, unless the applicable Award Agreement provides otherwise and subject to the provisions below, all RSUs granted to the

Participant under this Plan that have not vested will immediately terminate without payment, be forfeited and cancelled and shall be

of no further force or effect as of the date of termination determined by the Board, provided, however, that any RSUs granted to

in relation to such RSUs. Such payments shall be made entirely in Shares, unless otherwise

RSU Plan shall govern, provided that any RSUs granted, issued or amended after November 23,

2021 must comply with the Policy (as at November 24, 2021).

shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the number of DSUs granted pursuant

to an Award and the vesting criteria in respect of such DSUs and any other provisions as

the Board shall determine. In the absence of any specification of the method of settlement

in the Award Agreement, any Award of DSUs may be settled in either cash or Shares in the

Board’s discretion. With respect to any DSUs awarded to a U.S. Participant, the Board

shall structure the DSU so as to comply with, or be exempt from, Code Section 409A.

5.2.2 ELECTION

BY DIRECTORS. Each Director may elect to receive any part or all of his or her Fees in DSUs

under this Plan. Elections by Participants regarding the amount of their Fees that they wish

to receive in DSUs shall be made no later than 90 days after this Plan is adopted by the

Board, and thereafter no later than December 31 of any given year with respect to Fees for

the following year. Any Director who becomes a Participant during a fiscal year and wishes

to receive an amount of his or her Fees for the remainder of that year in DSUs must make

his or her election within 60 days of becoming a Director.

E-11

5.2.3 CALCULATION.

In the case of an election by a Director, the number of DSUs to be credited to the Participant’s

Account shall be calculated by dividing the amount of Fees selected by an Director in the

applicable Election Form by the Market Price on the Grant Date, or if more appropriate, another

trading range that best represents the period for which the award was earned (subject to

minimum pricing requirements under Exchange policies). If, as a result of the foregoing calculation,

a Participant shall become entitled to a fractional DSU, the Participant shall only be credited

with a full number of DSUs (rounded down) and no payment or other adjustment will be made

with respect to the fractional DSU.

5.2.4 CHANGE

OF CONTROL. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, in the event of a Change of Control,

all DSUs granted to a Participant shall become fully vested in such Participant and shall

become payable to the Participant in accordance with Subsection 5.2.5 hereof, provided that

no acceleration of vesting of DSUs upon a Change of Control can occur prior to the date that

is one year from the Grant Date of such DSUs unless the Participant ceases to be an Eligible

Person in connection with such Change of Control.

5.2.5 PAYMENT

OF AWARD. After the effective date that the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Person for

any reason or any earlier vesting period(s) as may be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement,

each Participant shall be entitled to receive on the DSU Payment Date a cash amount equal

to the value of the number of Shares equal to the number of DSUs credited to the Participant’s

Account, or, as determined by the Board, that number of Shares equal to the number of DSUs

credited to the Participant’s Account, such Shares to be issued from treasury of the

Company. The aforementioned payment will occur on the date (the “DSU Payment Date”)

that is one of two (2) dates designated by the Participant and communicated to the Company

by the Participant in writing at least fifteen (15) days prior to the designated day (or

such earlier date as the Participant and the Company may agree, which dates shall be no earlier

than then ninetieth (90) day following the year of the Cessation Date and no later than the

end of the calendar year following the year of the Cessation Date, or any earlier period

in which the DSUs vested, as the case may be) and if no such notice is given, then on the

first anniversary of the Cessation Date or any earlier period on which the DSUs vested, as

the case may be, at the sole discretion of the Participant.

5.2.6 DEATH.

Upon death of a Participant, the Participant’s estate shall be entitled to receive,

within 120 days after the Participant’s death and at the sole discretion of the Board,

such Shares that would have otherwise been payable in accordance with Subsection 5.2.5 hereof

to the Participant upon such Participant ceasing to be an Eligible Person.

5.2.7 DSU

PLAN. As of the Effective Date, DSUs which are outstanding under the DSU Plan shall continue

to be exercisable and shall be deemed to be governed by and be subject to the terms and conditions

of this Plan, except to the extent that the terms of this Plan are more restrictive than

the terms of the DSU Plan under which such DSUs were originally granted, in which case the

DSU Plan shall govern, provided that any DSUs granted, issued or amended after November 23,

2021 must comply with the Policy (as at November 24, 2021).

E-12

5.3 OPTIONS

5.3.1 ELIGIBILITY

AND PARTICIPATION. Subject to the provisions of this Plan and such other terms and conditions

as the Board may prescribe, the Board may, from time to time, grant Awards of Options to

Eligible Persons. Options granted to a Participant shall be credited, as of the Grant Date,

to the Participant’s Account. The number of Options to be credited to each Participant

shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion in accordance with this Plan. Each

vested Option shall represent the right to purchase one (1) Share in accordance with its

terms and the terms of this Plan. The number of Options granted pursuant to an Award shall

be specified in the applicable Award Agreement. Incentive Stock Options shall be granted

only to U.S. Participants who are Employees of the Company or any ISO Entity.

5.3.2 EXERCISE

PRICE. The exercise price of the Options shall be determined by the Board at the time the

Option is granted. Subject to Code Section 409A for U.S. Participants, in no event shall

such exercise price be lower than the discounted Market Price permitted by the Exchange,

which shall be the Discounted Market Price if the Shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange

at the time of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option

granted to a U.S. Participant who is an Employee of the Company or any ISO Entity who, at

the time of the grant of such Option, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%)

of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any, the exercise price per

share shall be no less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Market Price per share

on the Grant Date. The Board shall not reprice any Options granted under this Plan, except

in accordance with the rules and policies of the Exchange. For greater certainty, the Company

will be required to obtain disinterested shareholder approval in accordance with the Policy

in respect of any extension or reduction in the exercise price of Options granted to any

Participant if the Participant is an Insider at the time of the proposed reduction or extension.

No reduction in the exercise price of Options granted to any U.S. Participant may be made

under the Plan.

5.3.3 TIME

AND CONDITIONS OF EXERCISE. The Board shall determine the time or times at which an Option

may be exercised in whole or in part, provided that the term of any Option granted under

this Plan shall not exceed ten years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the

term of the Option exceeds five (5) years from the Grant Date in the case of an Incentive

Stock Option granted to U.S. Participant who is an Employee of the Company or any ISO Entity

who on the Grant Date owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power

of all classes of Shares of the Company or an ISO Entity. In the case of an Option granted

to an Eligible Charitable Organization, such Option must be exercised on or before the earlier

of (a) ten years from the Grant Date and (b) the 90th day following the date that the holder

ceases to be an Eligible Charitable Organization. The Board shall also determine the vesting,

performance and/or other conditions, if any, that must be satisfied before all or part of

an Option may be exercised. Vesting provisions applied to Options granted to Participants

who are Investor Relations Service Providers must be in compliance with Section 4.5.

5.3.4 EVIDENCE

OF GRANT. All Options shall be evidenced by a written Award Agreement. The Award Agreement

shall reflect the Board’s determinations regarding the exercise price, time and conditions

of exercise (including vesting provisions) and such additional provisions as may be specified

by the Board.

E-13

5.3.5 EXERCISE.

(a) The

exercise of any Option will be contingent upon receipt by the Company of a written notice

of exercise in the manner and in the form set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, which

written notice shall specify the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being

exercised, and which shall, subject to Subsection 5.3.5 (b), be accompanied by a cheque,

bank draft or other method of cash payment as is acceptable to the Company for the full purchase

price of such Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Certificates for such

Shares shall be issued and delivered to the Participant within a reasonable time following

the receipt of such notice and payment. Neither the Participants nor their legal representatives,

legatees or distributees will be, or will be deemed to be, a holder of any Shares unless

and until the certificates for the Shares issuable pursuant to Options under this Plan are

issued to such Participants under the terms of this Plan. In the event that the expiry date

of an Option falls during a Blackout Period and provided that any extension is structured

in a manner that complies with Code Section 409A for U.S. Participants, the expiry date of

such Option shall automatically be extended to a date which is ten (10) business days following

the end of such Blackout Period (the “Extension Period”), subject to no

cease trade order being in place under applicable securities laws; provided that if an additional

Blackout Period is subsequently imposed by the Company during the Extension Period, then

such Extension Period shall be deemed to commence following the end of such additional Blackout

Period to enable the exercise of such Option within ten (10) business days following the

end of the last imposed Blackout Period.

(b) Notwithstanding

the foregoing methods of Option exercise, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit

the exercise of an Option through a net exercise (“Net Exercise”) mechanism,

whereby Options, excluding Options held by any Investor Relations Service Provider, are exercised

without the Participant making any cash payment so the Company does not receive any cash

from the exercise of the subject Options, and instead the Participant receives only the number

of underlying Shares that is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing:

(i) the

product of the number of Options being exercised multiplied by the difference between the

VWAP of the underlying Shares and the exercise price of the subject Options; by

(ii) the

VWAP of the underlying Shares.

In

the event of a Net Exercise, the number of Options exercised, surrendered or converted, and not the number of Shares actually issued

by the Company, must be included in calculating the limits set forth in Subsection 4.1.

5.3.6 CHANGE

OF CONTROL. In the event of a Change of Control, each outstanding Option, to the extent that

it has not otherwise become vested and exercisable, and subject to the applicable Award Agreement,

shall automatically become fully and immediately vested and exercisable, without regard to

any other applicable vesting requirement, subject to the Policy. For greater certainty, any

acceleration of vesting of Options held by a Participant who is a Investor Relations Servicer

Provider is subject to prior Exchange acceptance.

5.3.7 DEATH.

Where a Participant shall die, any Option held by such Participant at the date of death shall

be exercisable in whole or in part only by the person or persons to whom the rights of the

Participant under the Option shall pass by the will of the Participant or the laws of descent

and distribution for a period of twelve (12) months after the date of death of the Participant

or prior to the expiration of the Option, whichever is sooner, and then only to the extent

that such Participant was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of death of such Participant.

5.3.8 TERMINATION

OF EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE.

(a) Where

a Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company

for cause, or where a Participant’s consulting agreement is terminated as a result

of the Participant’s breach, no Option held by such Participant shall be exercisable

from the date of termination determined by the Board.

E-14

(b) Where

a Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company

without cause, by voluntary termination or due to Retirement by the Participant, or where

a Participant’s consulting agreement is terminated for a reason other than the Participant’s

breach, any Option held by such Participant at such time shall remain exercisable in full

at any time, and in part from time to time, for a period of 90 days after the date of termination

determined by the Board (subject to any longer period set out in the applicable Award Agreement,

which period shall not, in any event, exceed twelve (12) months from the date of termination

determined by the Board) or prior to the expiration of the Option, whichever is sooner, and

then only to the extent that such Participant was entitled to exercise the Option at the

date of termination determined by the Board.

(c) Where

a Participant becomes afflicted by a Disability, all Options granted to the Participant under

this Plan will continue to vest in accordance with the terms of such Options. Where a Participant’s

employment or consulting agreement with the Company or a subsidiary of the Company is terminated

due to Disability, unless the applicable Award Agreement provides otherwise and subject to

the provisions below, any Option held by such Participant shall remain exercisable for a

period of 120 days after the date of termination determined by the Board (subject to any

longer period set out in the applicable Award Agreement, which period shall not, in any event,

exceed twelve (12) months from the date of termination determined by the Board) or prior

to the expiration of the Option, whichever is sooner, and then only to the extent that such

Participant was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination determined by

the Board.

5.3.9 CESSATION

OF DIRECTORSHIP. Where, in the case of Directors, a Participant ceases to be a Director for

any reason, any Option held by such Participant at such time shall, subject to the applicable

Award Agreement and the provisions below, remain exercisable in full at any time, and in

part from time to time, for a period of 90 days after the Cessation Date (subject to any

longer period set out in the applicable Award Agreement, which period shall not, in any event,

exceed twelve (12) months from the Cessation Date) or prior to the expiration of the Option,

whichever is sooner, and then only to the extent that such Participant was entitled to exercise

the Option as of the Cessation Date. Where, in the case of Directors, a Participant becomes

afflicted by a Disability, all Options granted to the Participant under this Plan will continue

to vest in accordance with the terms of such Options, provided that if a Participant ceases

to be a Director due to Disability, subject to the applicable Award Agreement, any Option

held by such Participant shall remain exercisable for a period of 120 days after the Cessation

Date (subject to any longer period set out in the applicable Award Agreement, which period

shall not, in any event, exceed twelve (12) months from the Cessation Date) or prior to the

expiration of the Option, whichever is sooner, and then only to the extent that such Participant

was entitled to exercise the Option as of the Cessation Date.

5.3.10 INCENTIVE

STOCK OPTIONS FOR U.S. PARTICIPANTS.

(a) No

Option shall be treated as an Incentive Stock Option unless the Plan has been approved by

the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months following the Effective Date and

in a manner intended to comply with the shareholder approval requirements of Code Section

422(b)(1), provided that any Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall not fail

to be effective solely on account of a failure to obtain such approval, but rather such Option

shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option unless and until such approval is obtained.

In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the terms and conditions of such grant shall be

subject to and comply with such rules as may be prescribed by Code Section 422. If for any

reason an Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option (or any portion thereof) shall

not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, then, to the extent of such non-qualification,

such Option or portion thereof shall be regarded as a Non-Qualified Stock Option appropriately

granted under the Plan.

E-15

(b) No

Incentive Stock Option may be granted more than ten (10) years from the date the Plan is

adopted, or the date the Plan is approved by the shareholders, whichever is earlier.

(c) Each

Participant awarded an Incentive Stock Option under the Plan shall notify the Company in

writing immediately after the date he or she makes a disqualifying disposition of any Shares

acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Incentive Stock Option. A disqualifying disposition

is any disposition (including, without limitation, any sale) of such Shares before the later

of (i) two (2) years after the Grant Date of the Incentive Stock Option or (ii) one (1) year

after the date of exercise of the Incentive Stock Option. The Company may, if determined

by the Board and in accordance with procedures established by the Board, retain possession,

as agent for the applicable Participant, of any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise

of an Incentive Stock Option until the end of the period described in the preceding sentence,

subject to complying with any instructions from such Participant as to the sale of such Shares.

(d) To

the extent that a Participant has received Incentive Stock Options and that any of the more

general language in Subsection 5.3 conflicts with the language in this Subsection 5.3.10,

the language of this Subsection 5.3.10 shall be controlling.

5.4 GENERAL

TERMS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS

5.4.1 FORFEITURE

EVENTS. The Board will specify in an Award Agreement at the time of the Award that the Participant’s

rights, payments and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation,

any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such events shall

include, but shall not be limited to, termination of employment for cause, violation of material

Company policies, fraud, breach of noncompetition, confidentiality or other restrictive covenants

that may apply to the Participant or other conduct by the Participant that is detrimental

to the business or reputation of the Company.

5.4.2 AWARDS

MAY BE GRANTED SEPARATELY OR TOGETHER. Awards may, in the discretion of the Board, be granted

either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution for any other Award. Awards

time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards or awards.

5.4.3 NON-TRANSFERABILITY

OF AWARDS. No Award and no right under any such Award, shall be assignable, alienable, saleable,

or transferable by a Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

No Award and no right under any such Award, may be pledged, alienated, attached, or otherwise

encumbered, and any purported pledge, alienation, attachment, or encumbrance thereof shall

be void and unenforceable against the Company. The Company does not intend to make Awards

assignable or transferable, except where required by law or in certain estate proceedings

described herein. Under no circumstances may Incentive Stock Option awards be transferred

by a Participant.

E-16

5.4.4 CONDITIONS

AND RESTRICTIONS UPON SECURITIES SUBJECT TO AWARDS. The Board may provide that the Shares

issued under an Award shall be subject to such further agreements, restrictions, conditions

or limitations as the Board in its sole discretion may specify, including without limitation,

conditions on vesting or transferability and forfeiture or repurchase provisions or provisions

on payment of taxes arising in connection with an Award. Without limiting the foregoing,

such restrictions may address the timing and manner of any resales by the Participant or

other subsequent transfers by the Participant of any Shares issued under an Award, including

without limitation: (A) restrictions under an insider trading policy or pursuant to applicable

law; (B) restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the timing and manner of sales

by Participant; (C) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales

to the Company in order to satisfy tax withholding or other obligations.

5.4.5 SHARE

CERTIFICATES. All Shares delivered under this Plan pursuant to any Award shall be subject

to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Board may deem advisable under

this Plan or the rules , regulations, and other requirements of any securities commission,

the Exchange, and any applicable securities legislation, regulations, rules, policies or

orders, and the Board may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to

make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

5.4.6 CONFORMITY

TO PLAN. In the event that an Award is granted which does not conform in all particulars

with the provisions of this Plan, or purports to grant an Award on terms different from those

set out in this Plan, the Award shall not be in any way void or invalidated, but the Award

shall be adjusted by the Board to become, in all respects, in conformity with this Plan.

5.4.7 RECOUPMENT

FOR RESTATEMENTS. Notwithstanding any other language in this Plan to the contrary, the Company

may recoup all or any portion of any shares or cash paid to a Participant in connection with

an Award, in the event of a restatement of the Company’s financial statements as set

forth in the Company’s clawback policy, if any, approved by the Board from time to

time.

5.4.8 NO

REPRICING OF OPTIONS. The Board may not “reprice” any Option without shareholder

approval. For purposes of this Subsection 5.4.8, “reprice” means any of the following

or any other action that has the same effect: (a) amending an Option to reduce its exercise

price or base price, (b) canceling an Option at a time when its exercise price or base price

exceeds the Market Price of a Share in exchange for cash or an Option, award of Restricted

Stock or other equity award, or (c) taking any other action that is treated as a repricing

under generally accepted accounting principles, provided that nothing in this Subsection

5.4.8 shall prevent the Board or the Committee from making adjustments pursuant to Subsection

4.3 or 4.4.

5.4.9 NO

ACCELERATION. With respect to any Award held by a U.S. Participant that is subject to Code

Section 409A, the acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment except as provided

under the Plan is prohibited, except as provided in or permitted by regulations and administrative

guidance promulgated under Code Section 409A.

SECTION

6

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

6.1 SHAREHOLDER

APPROVAL OF PLAN. This Plan is subject to annual shareholder approval in accordance with

the Policy. The initial shareholder approval requirements and related matters are set out

in Subsection 8.1 of this Plan.

6.2 AMENDMENTS

AND TERMINATION OF THIS PLAN. The Board may at any time or from time to time, in its sole

and absolute discretion, amend, suspend, terminate or discontinue this Plan and may amend

the terms and conditions of any Awards granted hereunder, subject to (a) any required approval

of any applicable regulatory authority or Exchange, and (b) any required approval of shareholders

of the Company in accordance with the Policy or applicable law. Without limitation, shareholder

approval shall not be required for the following amendments:

6.2.1 amendments

to fix typographical errors;

6.2.2 amendments

to clarify existing provisions of the Plan that do not have the effect of altering the scope,

nature and intent of such provisions; and

6.2.3 amendments

that are necessary to comply with applicable law or the requirements of the Exchange.

If

this Plan is terminated, Awards granted or issued prior to the date of termination shall remain outstanding and in effect in accordance

with their applicable terms and conditions.

6.3 AMENDMENTS

TO AWARDS. Subject to compliance with applicable laws and Exchange policies, the Board may

waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or amend, alter, suspend, discontinue,

or terminate, any Awards theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively. No such amendment

or alteration shall be made which would impair the rights of any Participant, without such

Participant’s consent, under any Award theretofore granted, provided that no such consent

shall be required with respect to any amendment or alteration if the Board determines in

its sole discretion that such amendment or alteration either (i) is required or advisable

in order for the Company, this Plan or the Award to satisfy or conform to any law or regulation

or to meet the requirements of any accounting standard, or (ii) is not reasonably likely

to significantly diminish the benefits provided under such Award.

SECTION 7

GENERAL PROVISIONS

7.1 NO

RIGHTS TO AWARDS. No Eligible Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under this

Plan, or, having been selected to receive an Award under this Plan, to be selected to receive

a future Award, and further there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Eligible

Persons under this Plan. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect

to each recipient, subject to compliance with the terms of this Plan and the Policy.

7.2 WITHHOLDING.

The Company shall be authorized to withhold from any Award granted or any payment due or

transfer made under any Award or under this Plan the amount (in cash, Shares, other securities,

or other Awards) of withholding taxes due in respect of an Award, its exercise, or any payment

or transfer under such Award or under this Plan and to take such other action as may be necessary

in the opinion of the Company to satisfy statutory withholding obligations for the payment

of such taxes. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, whenever cash

is to be paid on the redemption, exercise or vesting of an Award, the Company shall have

the right to deduct from all cash payments made to a Participant any taxes required by law

to be withheld with respect to such payments. Whenever Shares are to be delivered on the

redemption, exercise or vesting of an Award, the Company shall have the right to deduct from

any other amounts payable to the Participant any taxes required by law to be withheld with

respect to such delivery of Shares, or if any payment due to the Participant is not sufficient

to satisfy the withholding obligation, to require the Participant to remit to the Company

in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy any taxes required by law to be withheld. At the

sole discretion of the Board, a Participant may be permitted to satisfy the foregoing requirement

by:

7.2.1 electing

to have the Company withhold from delivery Shares having a value equal to the amount of tax

required to be withheld, or

E-18

7.2.2 delivering

(on a form prescribed by the Company) an irrevocable direction to a securities broker approved

by the Company to sell all or a portion of the Shares and to deliver to the Company from

the sales proceeds an amount sufficient to pay the required withholding taxes.

For

greater certainty, the application of this Section 7.2 to any payment due or transfer made under any Award or under this Plan shall not

conflict with the policies of the Exchange that are in effect at the relevant time and the Company will obtain prior Exchange acceptance

and/or shareholder approval of any application of this Section 7.2 if required pursuant to such policies.

7.3 NO

LIMIT ON OTHER SECURITY BASED COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS. Subject to compliance with the Policy

if the Shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and compliance with the applicable limitations

set out Section 4.1, nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Company or a subsidiary

of the Company from adopting or continuing in effect other security based compensation arrangements,

and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

7.4 NO

RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT. The grant of an Award shall not constitute an employment contract nor

be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company.

Further, the Company may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment, free from any

liability, or any claim under this Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Plan

or in any Award Agreement.

7.5 NO

RIGHT AS SHAREHOLDER. Neither the Participant nor any representatives of a Participant’s

estate shall have any rights whatsoever as shareholders in respect of any Shares covered

by such Participant’s Award, until the date of issuance of a share certificate to such

Participant or representatives of a Participant’s estate for such Shares.

7.6 CURRENCY.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, all dollars amounts in this Plan are in Canadian dollars.

7.7 GOVERNING

LAW. This Plan and all of the rights and obligations arising here from shall be interpreted

and applied in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal

laws of Canada applicable therein.

7.8 SEVERABILITY.

If any provision of this Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal,

or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify this

Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Board, such provision shall be construed

or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed

amended without, in the determination of the Board, materially altering the intent of this

Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person, or Award,

and the remainder of this Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

7.9 NO

TRUST OR FUND CREATED. Neither this Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create

a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and

a Participant or any other Person. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive

payments from the Company pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right

of any unsecured creditor of the Company.

7.10 NO

FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to this Plan

or any Award, and the Board shall determine whether cash, or other securities shall be paid

or transferred in lieu of any fractional Shares, or whether such fractional Shares or any

rights thereto shall be cancelled, terminated, or otherwise eliminated.

7.11 HEADINGS.

Headings are given to the Sections and Subsections of this Plan solely as a convenience to

facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to

the construction or interpretation of this Plan or any provision thereof.

7.12 NO

REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY. The Company makes no representation or warranty as to the value

of any Award granted pursuant to this Plan or as to the future value of any Shares issued

pursuant to any Award.

7.13 NO

REPRESENTATIONS OR COVENANTS WITH RESPECT TO TAX QUALIFICATION.

Although

the Company may, in its discretion, endeavor to (i) qualify an Award for favourable Canadian tax treatment or (ii) avoid adverse tax

treatment, the Company makes no representation to that effect and expressly disavows any covenant to maintain favorable or avoid unfavorable

tax treatment. The Company shall be unconstrained in its corporate activities without regard to the potential negative tax impact on

holders of Awards under this Plan.

7.14 CONFLICT

WITH AWARD AGREEMENT. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the provisions

of this Plan and an Award Agreement, the provisions of this Plan shall govern for all purposes.

7.15 COMPLIANCE

WITH LAWS. The granting of Awards and the issuance of Shares under this Plan shall be subject

to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental

agencies or stock exchanges on which the Company is listed as may be required. The Company

shall have no obligation to issue or deliver evidence of title for Shares issued under this

Plan prior to:

7.15.1 obtaining

any approvals from governmental agencies that the Company determines are necessary or advisable;

and

7.15.2 completion

of any registration or other qualification of the Shares under any applicable national or

foreign law or ruling of any governmental body that the Company determines to be necessary

or advisable or at a time when any such registration or qualification is not current, has

been suspended or otherwise has ceased to be effective.

The

inability or impracticability of the Company to obtain or maintain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority

is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder shall relieve the Company

of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

SECTION

8

EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS PLAN AND SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL

8.1 EFFECTIVE

DATE AND SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL. This Plan shall become effective upon the date (the “Effective

Date”) of approval by the Board and will remain subject to shareholder approval

and Exchange approval, provided that, if the Company grants or issues Awards under this Plan

that it would not otherwise be permitted to grant under its existing Option Plan, RSU Plan

or DSU Plan prior to the requisite shareholder approval for this Plan having been obtained,

the Company must also obtain specific (and separate) shareholder approval for such grants

or issuances. If shareholder approval for this Plan is obtained after the Effective Date,

no right under any Award (other than an Option, RSU or DSU which was or could have been granted

under the Option Plan, RSU Plan, or DSU Plan, as applicable) that is granted or issued under

this Plan prior to such shareholder approval may vest or be exercised, as applicable, before

the date of the shareholders’ meeting held to approve this Plan and such grants or

issuances (as applicable). The requisite shareholder approvals must be obtained in accordance

with the Policy and, if the requisite shareholder approvals are not obtained, this Plan and

all Awards granted hereunder (other than Options, RSUs or DSUs which were or could have been

granted under the Option Plan, RSU Plan or DSU Plan, as applicable), will terminate.

Approved

by the Board of Directors of the Company effective April 9, 2026.
