shares are listed in an account statement provided to a shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those common shares will not be registered in such shareholder&#146;s name on the records of the Company. Such common shares will more likely
be registered under the name of the shareholder&#146;s broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of CDS&nbsp;&amp; Co. (the registration name for The Canadian Depository for
Securities, which company acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Common shares held by brokers (or their agents or nominees) on behalf of a broker&#146;s client can only be voted (for or against resolutions) at the direction of the
Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, brokers and their agents and nominees are prohibited from voting shares for the brokers&#146; clients. <B>Therefore, each Beneficial Shareholder should ensure that voting instructions are
communicated to the appropriate person well in advance of the Meeting</B>. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Existing regulatory policy requires brokers and other intermediaries to seek
voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholders&#146; meetings. The various brokers and other intermediaries have their own mailing procedures and provide their own return instructions to clients, which should be
carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their common shares are voted at the Meeting. Often the form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker is identical to the form of proxy provided by the Company
to the registered shareholders. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered shareholder (i.e., the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The majority of brokers now delegate
responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to ADP Investor Communications Services (&#147;ADP&#148;). ADP typically prepares a machine-readable voting instruction form, mails those forms to the Beneficial Shareholders and asks Beneficial
Shareholders to return the forms to ADP, or otherwise communicate voting instructions to ADP (by way of the internet or telephone, for example). ADP then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions
respecting the voting of common shares to be represented at the Meeting. <B>A Beneficial Shareholder who receives an ADP voting instruction form cannot use that form to vote common shares directly at the Meeting. The voting instruction form must be
returned to ADP (or instructions respecting the voting of common shares must be communicated to ADP) well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the common shares voted.</B> </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">This Information Circular and accompanying materials are being sent to both registered shareholders and Beneficial Shareholders. Beneficial Shareholders fall into two categories &#150; those who object to their
identity being known to the issuers of securities which they own (&#147;Objecting Beneficial Owners&#148;, or &#147;OBOs&#148;) and those who do not object to their identity being made known to the issuers of the securities they own
(&#147;Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners&#148;, or &#147;NOBOs&#148;). Subject to the provision of National Instrument 54-101 &#150; Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of Reporting Issuers (&#147;NI 54-101&#148;) issuers may request
and obtain a list of their NOBOs from intermediaries via their transfer agents. Pursuant to NI 54-101, issuers may obtain and use the NOBO list for distribution of proxy-related materials directly (not via ADP) to such NOBOs. If you are a Beneficial
Shareholder, and the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name, address and information about your holdings of common shares have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the
intermediary holding the common shares on your behalf. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company has decided to take advantage of the provisions of NI 54-101 that permit it to deliver

<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">result, the Company has adopted a compensation philosophy consisting of two main components: (1)&nbsp;base salaries plus bonus; and (2)&nbsp;long term
incentives in the form of stock options. Generally, executive compensation has been designed to be competitive with the executive compensation offered by companies comparable to the Company in terms of size, assets and stage of development within
the base and precious metals mining industry. The Company has targeted total compensation to be at or slightly above the median for those junior mining companies of comparable project development stage and market capitalization, with the relative
importance of salary and stock options being equal. The Board is satisfied that the total level of compensation is competitive with that of comparable companies; however, given the buoyant marketplace for metals, compensation packages for qualified
executives and staff are ever evolving. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Chief Executive Officer&#146;s Compensation</I> </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

an incentive exists to maximize shareholder value by linking executive compensation to share price performance and to reward those executives making a long-term commitment and contribution to the Company. The Board has established a formal guideline
for the granting of options. Options granted under the Plan expire not later than the tenth anniversary of the date the options were granted. The Company has traditionally limited the expiry to five years and vesting provisions for issued options
are determined at the discretion of the Board. See &#147;Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans, Equity Compensation Plan Information&#148;. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
