The approved resolutions include the approval of a new fixed equity incentive plan (the "Equity Plan"), which was approved by the Board of Directors on December 12, 2024, subject to regulatory and shareholder approval. Shareholders also approved the resolution approving Mr. Chad Williams, Non-Executive Chairman and Director of the Company as a "Control Person" of the Company as defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Equity Incentive Plan

The Company's new Equity Plan governs the granting of any restricted share unit (RSU), performance share unit (PSU) or deferred share unit (DSU) (collectively the "Awards") granted under the fixed Equity Plan, to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company. The Company has reserved for issuance a fixed number of common shares of up 7,529,890 common shares, being 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares at the record date of the Meeting.

Control Person

Disinterested Shareholders at the Meeting approved the creation of Chad Williams, as a Control Person of the Company. Mr. Williams holds 20,373,599 common shares of the Company, representing 27.1% of Company's outstanding common shares on an undiluted basis.

Early Warning

Mr. Williams subscribed for 2,307,692 Units in the first tranche of the Company's private placement (the "Placement") which closed on December 16, 2024, and a further 600,000 Units in the second tranche which closed on January 3, 2025, for a total of 2,907,692 Units at a price of $0.13 per Unit. Each Unit was comprised of one common share and one share purchase warrant entitling Mr. Williams to acquire one additional common share at a price of $0.16 per share. These Units and Mr. William's subscription proceeds were held in escrow pending the Company's shareholders approving Mr. Williams as a Control Person. Following the approval of this resolution at the Meeting, the escrowed Units have been released to Mr. Williams and his subscription proceeds have been released to the Company.

Prior to his acquisition of Units in the Placement, Mr. Williams held 17,465,907 Common Shares representing approximately 25.8% of the Issuer's then 67,769,478 issued and outstanding Common Shares and would have held approximately 34.1% of the Issuer's issued and outstanding Common Shares if all of the 3,510,167 share purchase warrants and 2,100,158 stock options then held by him were exercised.

On completion of the Placement and the release to him from escrow of the Units he purchased in the Placement, Mr. Williams held 20,373,599 Common Shares representing approximately 27.1% of the Issuer's then 75,298,900 issued and outstanding Common Shares and would have held approximately 38.4% of the Issuer's issued and outstanding Common Shares if all of his 6,417,859 share purchase warrants and 2,100,158 stock options were exercised.

Mr. Williams has advised the Company that he acquired the Units he purchased in the Placement for investment purposes, and that subject to applicable securities laws, may increase or decrease his ownership of securities of the Company from time to time depending on market conditions and/or other relevant factors.
