registration name of the Depository Trust Company, which entities act as nominees for many brokerage firms. Common shares held
by brokers, agents, trustees or other intermediaries can only be voted by those brokers, agents, trustees or other intermediaries
in accordance with instructions received from Beneficial Shareholders. As a result, Beneficial Shareholders should carefully review
the voting instructions provided by their intermediary with this Information Circular and ensure they communicate how they would
like their common shares voted in accordance with those instructions.</FONT></P>

attracting and retaining non-employee directors and employees and certain other service providers of the Company and affiliated

believe our future success depends in part on our ability to attract, motivate and retain high quality employees and directors

use of Common Shares as part of our compensation program is also important to our continued success because equity-based awards
are an essential component of our compensation program for key employees, as they link compensation with long-term shareholder
value creation and reward participants based on service or the Company&rsquo;s performance. As discussed in further detail in
the &ldquo;Executive Compensation&rdquo; section below, equity compensation represents a significant portion of the compensation
package for our Chief Executive Officer and other named executive officers. Because our equity awards generally vest over multiple
years, the value ultimately realized from these awards depends on the long-term value of our Common Shares. Our equity compensation
program also helps us to attract and retain talent, targeting individuals who are motivated by pay-for-performance.</FONT></P>

granted under the Long-Term Incentive Plan will specify the maximum number of Common Shares that the participant may purchase
under the Options. Options issued under the Long-Term Incentive Plan, unless otherwise designated by the Board in the applicable
grant agreement, will vest with 50% of each grant vesting six-months after the grant date, 25% after twelve months, and the balance
at the 18-month anniversary. Vesting will be based on continued service and may be exercised during a period determined by the
Board, which may not exceed ten years (except in certain situations connection with a blackout period, as further described below).
The exercise price for each share subject to an Option shall be fixed by the Board but, except with respect to certain awards
issued in substitution for, in conversion of, or in connection with an assumption of stock options held by awardees of an entity
engaging in a corporate acquisition or merger with the Company or any of its affiliates, under no circumstances shall it be less
than 100% of the closing price per Common Share on the TSX on the trading day immediately preceding such date (the &ldquo;<B>Market
Price</B>&rdquo;) on the grant date. The exercise of Options may be subject to vesting conditions, including specific time schedules
for vesting and performance-based conditions. Generally, a participant&rsquo;s notice of exercise of an Option must be accompanied
by payment of the exercise price. However, upon prior approval of the Board, a participant may elect for a &ldquo;cashless exercise&rdquo;
of Options, whereby a Participant can receive in Common Shares the net value of an Option that is exercised without paying the
exercise price directly. A &ldquo;cashless exercise&rdquo; entitles the Participant to Common Shares equal to the number determined
by dividing (a) the difference between the Market Price (calculated as at the date of settlement) and the exercise price of such
Option by (b) the Market Price (calculated as at the date of settlement). To date, the Company has not granted any Options under

interest of any participant under the Long-Term Incentive Plan is generally not transferable or assignable, other than by testamentary
disposition by the participant or the laws of intestate succession. In no event will any grant under the Long-Term Incentive Plan
be transferred for value. However, the Long-Term Incentive Plan does provide that with respect to a participant who is not a U.S.
taxpayer, the Board may provide that the participant may assign his or her rights (a) in the case of a transfer without the payment
of any consideration, to the participant&rsquo;s spouse, former spouse, children, stepchildren, grandchildren, parent, stepparent,
grandparent, sibling, persons having one of the foregoing types of relationship with the participant due to adoption and any entity
in which these persons (or the participant) own more than 50 percent of the voting interests and (b) to an entity in which more
than 50 percent of the voting interests are owned by these persons (or the participant) in exchange for an interest in that entity.
In the event of such transfer or assignment, the grant will generally remain subject to substantially the same terms as were applicable
while held by the participant to whom it was granted. With respect to participants who are U.S. taxpayers, the Board may permit
the participant to transfer Options that are not Incentive Stock Options (&ldquo;<B>Nonqualified Stock Options</B>&rdquo;) to
any &ldquo;family member&rdquo; in accordance with Form S-8 Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933. However,
U.S. taxpayers cannot receive any consideration for the transfer and such transferred Nonqualified Stock Option shall continue
to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Nonqualified Stock Option immediately prior to its transfer.</FONT></P>

governance relates to the activities of the Board, the members of which are elected by and are accountable to the shareholders,

the day-to-day management of the Company. The Board is committed to sound corporate governance practices that are both in the
interest of its shareholders and contribute to effective and efficient decision making. National Policy 58-201 <I>Corporate Governance
Guidelines</I> (&ldquo;<B>NP 58-201</B>&rdquo;) establishes corporate governance guidelines that apply to all Canadian public
companies. The Company has reviewed its own corporate governance practices in light of these guidelines. In certain cases, the
Company&rsquo;s practices comply with the guidelines; however, the Board considers that some of the guidelines are not suitable
for the Company at its current stage of development, and therefore, these guidelines have not been adopted at this time. The Company
will consider the matter in the future as the Company&rsquo;s development progresses, and such guidelines may be applicable to
the Company&rsquo;s then-level of development. National Instrument 58-101 (&ldquo;<B>NI 58-101</B>&rdquo;) mandates disclosure

of September 29, 2017, the Company&rsquo;s Board consists of Messrs. Smith, Carrabba, Beling, and Morris as well as Mmes. Wightman
and Guerrero-Mahon. The Company utilizes the definition of &ldquo;independent&rdquo; as it is set forth in Section 803A of the
NYSE MKT Company Guide and National Instrument 52-110 <I>Audit Committees</I> (&ldquo;<B>NI 52-110</B>&rdquo;). Further, the board
considers all relevant facts and circumstances in its determination of independence of all members of the board (including any
relationships). Currently, Messrs. Carrabba, Beling and Morris and Mmes. Wightman and Guerrero-Mahon are considered independent
directors. In addition, Mr. Joe Cecil, a director of the Company since November 14, 2014, determined not to stand for re-election
at the Company&rsquo;s December 9, 2016 Annual General Meeting, and accordingly ceased to be a director on December 9, 2016. Mr.
Cecil was considered to be an independent director prior to his departure from the Board.</FONT></P>

all times since the Company&rsquo;s December 9, 2016 annual general meeting, the Board has consisted of a majority of independent
directors. NP 58-201 suggests that the board of directors of every listed company should be constituted with a majority of individuals
who qualify as &ldquo;independent&rdquo; directors under NI 52-110, which provides that a director is independent if he or she
has no direct or indirect &ldquo;material relationship&rdquo; with the Company. &ldquo;Material relationship&rdquo; is defined
as a relationship that could, in the view of a company&rsquo;s board of directors, reasonably interfere with the exercise of a
director&rsquo;s independent judgment. Of the proposed nominees for election at the Meeting, one, being Mark A. Smith, is an &ldquo;insider&rdquo;
or management director, and accordingly, is not considered by the Board to be &ldquo;independent.&rdquo; The remaining five proposed
nominees, being Messrs. Carrabba, Beling and Morris and Mmes. Wightman and Guerrero-Mahon, are each considered by the Board to
be &ldquo;independent,&rdquo; within the meaning of NI 52-110. Thus, assuming that all the proposed nominees are elected as directors,
the Board will continue to be composed of a majority of independent directors.</FONT></P>

Board has not adopted a written mandate. The mandate of the Board, as prescribed by the <I>Business Corporations Act</I> (British
Columbia) (the &ldquo;<B>BCBCA</B>&rdquo;), is to manage or supervise the management of the business and affairs of the Company
and to act with a view to the best interests of the Company. In doing so, the Board oversees the management of the Company&rsquo;s
affairs directly and through the operation of its standing committees. In fulfilling its mandate, the Board, among other matters,
is responsible for reviewing and approving the Company&rsquo;s overall business strategies and its annual business plan, reviewing
and approving the annual corporate budget and forecast, reviewing and approving significant capital investments outside the approved
budget, reviewing major strategic initiatives to ensure that the Company&rsquo;s proposed actions accord with its stated shareholder
objectives, reviewing succession planning, assessing management&rsquo;s performance against approved business plans and industry
standards, reviewing and approving the financial statements, reports and other disclosure issued to shareholders, ensuring the
effective operation of the Board and safeguarding shareholders&rsquo; equity interests through the optimum utilization of the
Company&rsquo;s capital resources. The Board also takes responsibility for identifying the principal risks of the Company&rsquo;s
business and for ensuring these risks are effectively monitored and mitigated to the extent reasonably practicable. At this stage
of the Company&rsquo;s development, the Board does not believe it is necessary to adopt a written mandate, as sufficient guidance
is found in the applicable corporate legislation and regulatory policies.</FONT></P>

guidelines and existing company policies when they become directors. However, there is no formal orientation for new members of
the Board, and this is considered to be appropriate, given the Company&rsquo;s size and current level of operations. If the growth
of the Company&rsquo;s operations and/or increased board turnover warrants it, the Board would consider implementing a formal
orientation process.</FONT></P>

The Board is comprised of individuals with varying backgrounds, who have, both collectively, and in most cases individually, extensive
experience in running and managing public companies in the natural resource sector, and several directors are also directors of
other resource companies. Board members are encouraged to communicate with management, auditors and technical consultants to keep
themselves current with industry trends and developments and changes in legislation, with management&rsquo;s assistance. The Company
will pay the reasonable costs of attendance by directors at continuing education courses and seminars with respect to corporate
governance, directors&rsquo; duties and obligations and similar matters. Board members have full access to the Company&rsquo;s
records.</FONT></P>

each of the directors and officers other than the CEO, including recommendations regarding awards under equity compensation plans.
The Compensation Committee also reviews executive compensation disclosure before the Company publicly discloses the information.

general, the Compensation Committee considers that its compensation program should be relatively simple in concept, given the
current stage of the Company&rsquo;s development, and that its focus should be balanced between reasonable current compensation
and longer-term compensation tied to performance of the Company as a whole. The Compensation Committee has not established a formal
set of benchmarks or performance criteria to be met by the Company&rsquo;s named executive officers; rather, the members of the
Compensation Committee use their own subjective assessments of the level of success of the Company to determine, collectively,
whether or not the named executive officers are successfully achieving the Company&rsquo;s business plan and strategy and the
degree to which they have performed in that regard. The Compensation Committee has not established any set or formal formula for
determining named executive officer compensation, either as to the amount thereof or the specific mix of compensation elements,
and compensation (and adjustments from time to time) is set through informal discussions at the Compensation Committee level.</FONT></P>

members of the Compensation Committee use their own experience and familiarity with the industry, and consider the factors described
above, to determine what they believe to be reasonable base salaries for our named executive officers. The base salaries of the
named executive officers are set at levels which are considered by the members of the Compensation Committee to be competitive,
thereby enabling the Company to compete for and retain executives critical to the long-term success of the Company. Initially,
base salaries (or, for Mr. Smith, base consulting fees) are set through negotiation when executive officers join the Company (with
direct input from the Compensation Committee) and are subsequently reviewed each fiscal year to determine if adjustments are required.
There were no changes to named executive officer salaries during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017.</FONT></P>

Option Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee, and is intended to advance the interests of the Company through the
motivation, attraction and retention of officers and other key employees, directors and consultants of the Company and affiliates
of the Company and to secure for the Company and its shareholders the benefits inherent in the ownership of Common Shares of the
Company by officers and other key employees, directors and consultants of the Company and affiliates of the Company. Grants of
Options under the Option Plan are proposed/recommended by the CEO, and reviewed by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation
Committee can approve, modify or reject any proposed grants, in whole or in part. In general, the allocation of available Options
among the eligible participants in the Option Plan is on an ad hoc basis, and there is no set formula for allocating available
Options, nor is there any fixed benchmark or performance criteria to be achieved in order to receive an award of or vest in Options.</FONT></P>

Compensation Committee does not consider the accounting value of any such Option grants in determining the number of Options to
award to any individual, as any such &ldquo;value&rdquo; is an accounting measure that is not relevant to incentivizing the individual.
The timing of the grants of Options is determined by the Compensation Committee, and there is no regular interval for the awarding
of Option grants. In general, a higher level of responsibility will result in a larger grant of Options. Because the number of
Options available is limited, in general, the Compensation Committee aims to have individuals at what it subjectively considers
to be the same levels of responsibility holding equivalent numbers of Options, with additional grants being allocated for individuals
who the Compensation Committee believes are in a position to more directly affect the success of the Company through their efforts.</FONT></P>

Compensation Committee looks at the overall number of Options held by an individual (plus the exercise prices and remaining terms
of existing Options and whether any previously granted Options have expired out of the money or were exercised) and takes such
information into consideration when reviewing proposed new grants. After considering the CEO&rsquo;s recommendations and the foregoing
factors, the resulting proposed Option grant (if any) is then submitted to the Board for approval.</FONT></P>

&ldquo;<B>Smith Agreement</B>&rdquo;). Under the terms of the Smith Agreement, KMSmith, through Mark Smith, performs the duties
and responsibilities of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and related services, for an indefinite term at a base rate
of $270,000 per year, generally payable in equal monthly installments of $22,500. KMSmith also received a one-time signing bonus
of $165,000. Any other bonuses and incentive payments are payable at the discretion of the Board. Mr. Smith is eligible to receive
Options under the Option Plan, as determined by the Board.</FONT></P>

Company may terminate the Smith Agreement at any time without notice or payment if (1) KMSmith commits a material breach of the
Smith Agreement (subject to a cure period in certain circumstances), (2) Mr. Smith dies or becomes permanently disabled, or (3)
certain other &ldquo;for cause&rdquo; scenarios occur (as further described in the Smith Agreement). In the event the Smith Agreement
is terminated by the Company for any other reason or if KMSmith terminates the Smith Agreement on the occurrence of a Triggering
Event, the Company shall pay KMSmith a lump sum termination fee equal to the annual salary in effect at the termination date as
well as the average of any annual bonuses or other cash incentive payments for two calendar years immediately preceding the year
the termination occurs. A Triggering Event is defined as: a substantial change in the nature of services to be performed by KMSmith;
a material breach by the Company of the Smith Agreement that is not remedied within 30 days of notice; the ceasing of the Company
as a going concern; the failure of the Company to pay a material amount due pursuant to the Smith Agreement within 30 days of
the due date; or a material reduction in salary or any other form of compensation payable by the Company to KMSmith, except where
all senior executives or consultants of the Company are subject to relatively similar reductions in such values. KMSmith may terminate
the Smith Agreement for a reason other than a Triggering Event on 90 days&rsquo; written notice and, should the Company immediately
accept such termination notice, it shall pay KMSmith the sum of $69,904. Should a change of control of the Company occur (as that
term is defined in the Smith Agreement) and, within one year, either a Triggering Event occurs and KMSmith terminates the Smith
Agreement or KMSmith&rsquo;s engagement is terminated by the Company under circumstances that would give rise to a termination
payment in the absence of a change of control, then KMSmith shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the annual salary
in effect at the termination date as well as the average of any annual bonuses or other cash payments for two calendar years immediately
preceding the year the termination occurs. In the event KMSmith is entitled to a termination payment with respect to a change
of control, any Options previously granted to Mr. Smith shall become fully vested and shall remain exercisable for the original
term of grant despite a termination of KMSmith. Termination payments under the Smith Agreement are generally contingent on a release
of claims by KMSmith. The Smith Agreement also includes customary confidentiality and six-month employee non-solicitation provisions.</FONT></P>

16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company&rsquo;s officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a

upon the review of the copies of Section 16(a) forms received by the Company, and upon written representations from reporting

Form 4 was inadvertently filed late due to an administrative error on November 8, 2016.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman,serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt">Under
the Exchange Act, the deadline for submitting shareholder proposals for inclusion in the management information and proxy circular
for an annual general meeting of the Company is calculated in accordance with Rule 14a-8(e) of Regulation 14A of the Exchange
Act. If the proposal is submitted for a regularly scheduled annual general meeting, the proposal must be received at the Company&rsquo;s
principal executive offices not less than 120 calendar days before the anniversary date of the Company&rsquo;s management information
and proxy circular released to the Company&rsquo;s shareholders in connection with the previous year&rsquo;s annual general meeting.
However, if the Company did not hold an annual general meeting the previous year, or if the date of the current year&rsquo;s annual
general meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the date of the previous year&rsquo;s meeting, then the deadline is
a reasonable time before the Company begins to print and mail its proxy materials. Accordingly, unless the date of the next annual
general meeting is changed by more than 30 days from the date of this year&rsquo;s meeting the deadline for submitting shareholder
proposals for inclusion in the management information and proxy circular for the next annual general meeting of the Company will
be June 12, 2018. If a shareholder proposal is not submitted to the Company by June 12, 2018, the Company may still grant discretionary
proxy authority to vote on a shareholder proposal, if such proposal is received by the Company by August 26, 2018 in accordance
with Rule 14a-4(c)(1) of Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act.</FONT></P>
