Stock option plans and other incentive plans

Effective May 22, 2018, the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") adopted a rolling 10% stock option plan (the "Plan"), which Plan was drafted in accordance with the latest policies and rules of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"). The Plan was accepted for filing by the TSXV. The Plan was approved by shareholders of the Company at its last annual general meeting held on May 23, 2019 and will be required to be approved by shareholders of the Company at its next annual general meeting.

The purpose of the Plan is to provide the Company with a share-related mechanism to attract, retain and motivate qualified employees, directors, officers, consultants and employees of a person or company which provides management services to the Company or its associated, affiliated, controlled and subsidiary companies (the "Participants") and to grant such Participants stock options to acquire up to 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") from time to time. This is a "rolling" plan as the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the grant of stock options will increase as the Company's issued and outstanding share capital increases. The Plan provides that the directors of the Company may grant options to purchase Common Shares on terms that the directors may determine, within the limitations of the Plan. The exercise price of an option issued under the Plan is determined by the directors, but may not be less than the closing market price of the Common Shares on the day preceding the date of granting of the option less any available discount, in accordance with TSXV Policies. No option may be granted for a term longer than ten years. An option may expire on such earlier date or dates as may be fixed by the Board, subject to earlier termination in the event the optionee ceases to be eligible under the Plan by reason of death, retirement or otherwise.

The Plan provides for the following restrictions: (i) no Participant may be granted an option if that option would result in the total number of stock options granted to the Participant in the previous 12 months, exceeding 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares unless the Company has obtained disinterested shareholder approval in accordance with TSXV Policies; (ii) the aggregate number of options granted to Participants conducting Investor Relations Activities (as defined in TSXV Policies) in any 12 month period must not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, calculated at the time of grant; and (iii) the aggregate number of options granted to any one consultant in any 12 month period must not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, calculated at the time of grant.

In addition, options granted to consultants conducting Investor Relations Activities (as defined in TSXV Policies) will vest over a period of not less than 12 months as to 25% on the date that is three months from the date of grant, and a further 25% on each successive date that is three months from the date of the previous vesting or such longer vesting.

Employment, consulting and management agreements

The Company entered into a consulting agreement with Charles Funk, VP of Exploration, on June 1, 2019 and the agreement may be terminated by either party by providing 90-days notice. Mr. Funk receives an annual income of $152,000 and received a signing bonus of $40,000. There is no change of control provision.

Subsequent to the year ended April 30, 2020, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Michael Konnert for his services as CEO. Pursuant to the terms of the consulting agreement, the Company has agreed to pay Mr. Konnert a base salary of $350,000. In addition, Mr. Konnert is eligible to receive a performance bonus and/or special bonus as set by the Board from time to time. The agreement is for an indefinite term. Mr. Konnert may resign by giving the Company 30 days' notice in which he shall not be entitled to any severance payment but shall be entitled to receive all annual salary earned to and including the last written notice day together with any final expenses and annual bonus in respect of a completed fiscal year which has been earned but not paid. The Company may terminate without cause at any time by giving 30 days' written notice or payment in lieu in thereof, as part of the final wages. Severance shall be payable and will consist of (i) final wages and (ii) an additional lump sum equal to the highest monthly bonus multiplied by the number of completed months in the current fiscal year. In the event of termination after a change of control without cause within 12 months after the change of control, the Company shall provide Mr. Konnert with a lump sum of up to 36 months pay, equivalent to the number of months of the aggregate of his annual salary plus an additional lump sum equal to the highest monthly bonus multiplied by the number of completed months in the current fiscal year up to the termination date.

Oversight and description of director and named executive officer compensation

The objective of the Company's compensation program is to compensate the executive officers for their services to the Company at a level that is both in line with the Company's fiscal resources and competitive with companies at a similar stage of development.

The Company has not defined financial entitlements for directors. Directors of the Company are eligible to participate in the Plan.

Option-Based Awards

The Plan has been and will be used to provide share purchase options which are granted in consideration of the level of responsibility of the executive as well as his or her impact or contribution to the longer-term operating performance of the Company. In determining the number of options to be granted to the executive officers, the Board takes into account the number of options, if any, previously granted to each executive officer, and the exercise price of any outstanding options to ensure that such grants are in accordance with the policies of the TSXV and closely align the interests of the executive officers with the interests of shareholders.

The directors and officers of the Company from time to time may be granted incentive stock options in accordance with the policies of the TSXV and pursuant to the Plan.

Compensation Risk Management

The Board has reviewed the risks, if any, associated with the Company's current compensation policies and practices. The Board relies on the general knowledge and experience of the directors to identify and mitigate any compensation policies and practices that could encourage inappropriate or excessive risks taking.

The Board has not identified any specific risks associated with the Company's compensation policies and practices that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Company has not adopted a policy forbidding directors or executive officers from purchasing financial instruments that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of the Company's securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by directors or executive officers. The Company is not, however, aware of any directors or executive officers having entered into this type of transaction.

Compensation Governance

In light of the Company's size and limited elements of executive compensation, the Board does not have a compensation committee and does not deem it necessary to consider at this time the implications of the risks associated with the Company's compensation policies and practices. Also, there are no risks which have been identified in the Company's practices to date which would reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition, the CEO and the Board from time to time determine the stock option grants to be made pursuant to the Plan. The Board awards bonuses at its sole discretion and does not have pre-existing performance criteria or objectives.

Pension disclosure

The Company does not provide a pension to a NEO, director or officer nor does it have a defined benefit plan.

Companies reporting in the United States

The Company does not currently have any reporting requirements to the United States.
