MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

(CONTAINING INFORMATION AS OF MARCH 28, 2024, UNLESS INDICATED OTHERWISE)

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This management information circular (the "Circular") and the accompanying form of proxy (the "Proxy") or voting instruction form ("VIFs") are furnished to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Snow Lake Resources Ltd. ("Management") to be used at the annual general and special meeting of the holders of common shares (the "Shares", and the holders of Shares, the "Shareholders") in the capital of Snow Lake Resources Ltd. (the "Company" or "Snow Lake"), scheduled to be held on Thursday, May 2, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. (Central Time) by Zoom videoconference at the following link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/87634164337 (Meeting ID: 876 3416 4337) (the "Meeting") and at any and all adjournments or postponements thereof. If the Meeting is adjourned or re-scheduled, this Circular is furnished in respect of the solicitation of proxies for such adjourned or rescheduled meeting. The contents and the sending of this Circular have been approved by the board of directors of the Company (the "Board"). All dollar amounts referenced, unless otherwise indicated, are expressed in Canadian dollars. All references to the Company shall include its subsidiaries as the context may require.

No person is authorized to give any information or to make any representation other than those contained in this Circular and, if given or made, such information or representation should not be relied upon as having been authorized by the Company. The delivery of this Circular shall not, under any circumstances, create an implication that there has not been any change in the information set forth herein since the date hereof.

The Company will bear the cost of this solicitation. The solicitation will be made by mail, but may also be made by telephone or email.

GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

Voting Process

Shareholders may exercise their voting rights only (i) by attending the Meeting virtually and voting at the Meeting, or (ii) by completing and submitting the accompanying Proxy in accordance with the instructions set out below and in the Proxy. Shareholders are strongly encouraged to vote before the Meeting by submitting their duly completed Proxy as soon as possible before the Meeting to ensure that their votes are counted.

If you are unable to attend the Meeting virtually, kindly complete, date and sign the Proxy and return it to Endeavor Trust Corporation ("Endeavor") by facsimile at 1-604-559-8908, by email to proxy@endeavortrust.com, online at www.eproxy.ca,. or by mail to Suite 702 - 777 Hornby Street, Vancouver, BC, V6Z 1S4, no later than 1:00 p.m. (Central Time) on April 30, 2024, or, if the Meeting is adjourned, not later than 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, preceding the time of such adjourned Meeting at which the form of proxy is to be used ("Proxy Deadline").

Solicitation of Proxies

The solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail and email, but proxies may be solicited personally, by telephone by Management or by any other means deemed necessary. The Company will bear the cost of this solicitation.


Appointment of Proxyholder

The individuals named in the accompanying Proxy are Frank Wheatley, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, and Peretz Schapiro, Director of the Company (collectively, the "Management Designates"). If you are a Shareholder entitled to vote at the Meeting, you have the right to appoint a person other than either of the Management Designates, who need not be a Shareholder, to attend and act for you and on your behalf at the Meeting. You may do so by inserting the full legal name of that other person in the blank space provided in the Proxy, and dating and submitting the Proxy.

If the Shares are not registered in your name and you wish to attend and vote virtually at the meeting, you must first appoint yourself as a proxyholder. In order to appoint yourself as proxyholder, you will need to obtain a valid legal proxy from your intermediary and submit the legal proxy to Endeavor prior to the Proxy Deadline. See the discussion under the heading "Beneficial Shareholders" of this Circular.

If you appoint a proxyholder other than the Management Designates, please make sure they are aware of such appointment and ensure they will attend the Meeting virtually in order for your vote to count.

If your Shares are registered in more than one name, all registered persons should sign the Proxy. If your Shares are registered in a company's or other entity's name or any name other than your own, you may be required to provide documents proving your authorization to sign the Proxy for that company, entity or name.

Voting by Proxyholder

On the Proxy, a Shareholder has two choices: (a) the Shareholder can indicate how such shareholder wants his, her or its proxyholder to vote such holder's Shares; or (b) the Shareholder can let his, her or its proxyholder decide how to vote the holder's Shares.

The person named in the duly completed, dated and signed Proxy will vote for or against, or will withhold from voting, the Shares represented thereby in accordance with your instructions on any ballot that may be called for. If you specify a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, your Shares will be voted accordingly.

If you appoint the Management Designates as proxyholders, who are representatives of Management, and you do not specify how they should vote your Shares in respect of a particular matter, then your Shares will be voted in favour of the matters set out therein.

If you appoint a proxyholder other than the Management Designates named on the Proxy and you do not specify how they should vote your Shares in respect of a particular matter, then your proxyholder may vote your Shares as he or she sees fit.

The Proxy confers discretionary authority on the proxyholders with respect to amendments or variations of the matters identified in the Notice or other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. We are not currently aware of any such amendment, variation or other business that may come before the Meeting. If, however, such amendments, variations or other matters do properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, the Shares represented by the Proxy will be voted at the discretion of the proxyholder.

Revocation of Proxies

A Shareholder who gave a duly completed, dated and signed form of proxy may revoke it by:

(i) executing a form of proxy bearing a later date or by executing a valid notice of revocation, either of the foregoing to be executed by the Shareholder or the Shareholder's authorized attorney in writing, or, if the Shareholder is not an individual, under its seal (if applicable) by an officer or attorney duly authorized, and, in each case, by delivering the form of proxy bearing a later date to Endeavor Trust by mail to Endeavor Trust, 702-777 Hornby Street, Vancouver, BC, V6Z 1S4 or by email to admin@EndeavorTrust.com prior to 1:00 p.m. (Central Time) on April 30, 2024 or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, no later than twenty-four (24) hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays) prior to the beginning of any reconvened Meeting; or

(ii) attending the Meeting virtually and voting the Shareholder's Shares.


Shareholders should note that, if they participate and vote on any matter at the Meeting, they will revoke any previously submitted form of proxy.

A revocation of any form of proxy will not affect a matter on which a vote is taken before the revocation.

When will the resolutions adopted at the Meeting be effective?

All the resolutions in respect of the matters to be acted upon at the Meeting shall be effective immediately upon the receipt of the requisite number of votes FOR.

Who is entitled to vote at the Meeting?

Persons registered as Shareholders of record at the close of business on March 15, 2024, in the Company's Central Security Register maintained by its registrar and transfer agent, Endeavor Trust, or duly appointed proxyholders of registered Shareholders are the only ones who will be recognized, make motions or vote at the Meeting. In addition, any transferee of such a Shareholder who (i) produces properly endorsed share certificates or otherwise establishes that they own the shares and (ii) demands not later than 10 days before the Meeting that their name be included in the list of Shareholders will be entitled to vote at the Meeting.

What is quorum for the Meeting?

Under the Company's by-laws, a quorum of shareholders is present at the Meeting for the transaction of business if the holders of not less than 40% of the Shares are present or represented by proxy, irrespective of the number of persons actually present at the Meeting.

Shareholders and proxyholders will be counted for the purposes of determining quorum only if they are present (in person or virtually) at the Meeting.

BENEFICIAL SHAREHOLDERS

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance as many Shareholders do not hold Shares in their own name.

In many cases, Shares are held by brokerage houses and clearing agencies, custodians, nominees, fiduciaries, banks, trust companies, trustees and their agents, nominees and other intermediaries or in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Depository Trust Company) in which they are a participant (collectively, "Intermediaries") for the benefit of a beneficial owner (a "Beneficial Shareholder"). The Intermediaries are required under applicable law to forward the Notice and Circular, together with either a Proxy or VIF to each Beneficial Shareholder holding Shares as of the record date of March 15, 2024. The Company will reimburse the Intermediaries for reasonable fees and disbursements incurred by them in sending such materials to Beneficial Shareholders. Without specific instructions, Intermediaries are prohibited from voting shares on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholders. Therefore, each Beneficial Shareholder should ensure that voting instructions are communicated to the appropriate party well in advance of the Meeting.

The forms of VIF requesting voting instructions supplied to Beneficial Shareholders are substantially similar to the Proxy provided directly to the registered Shareholders by the Company. A VIF has its own return instructions, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders to ensure their Shares are voted at the Meeting.

Most brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders to Broadridge Investor Communications ("Broadridge") in Canada and the United States of America. Broadridge prepares a machine-readable VIF, mails the VIF and other proxy materials for the Meeting to Beneficial Shareholders and asks them carefully to follow the instructions set out in the VIF, including those regarding when and where the VIF is to be delivered. It then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Shares to be represented at the Meeting.

Only registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders may attend and vote at the Meeting. If you are a Beneficial Shareholder and you wish to attend and vote virtually at the meeting, you must first appoint yourself as a proxyholder. In order to appoint yourself as proxyholder, you will need to obtain a valid legal proxy from your Intermediary and submit the legal proxy to Endeavor prior to the Proxy Deadline. A brokerage statement or the VIF you received from your Intermediary will not allow you to vote virtually at the Meeting. In order to obtain a valid legal proxy, you should follow the instructions from your Intermediary included with the VIF you received from your Intermediary or, if you did not receive a VIF, contact your Intermediary to request a legal proxy. You can submit your legal proxy by mail or by courier or by email to: Endeavor Trust, 702-777 Hornby Street, Vancouver, BC, V6Z 1S4 (if by mail or by courier) or admin@EndeavorTrust.com (if by email), and in all cases, it must be labelled as "Legal Proxy" and received no later than the Proxy Deadline. As it can take some time to request and receive a legal proxy and to submit it to Endeavor after you have received it, you will need to act quickly.


Beneficial Shareholders with any questions respecting the voting of Shares held through a broker or other Intermediary, should contact that broker or other Intermediary for assistance.

UNITED STATES SHAREHOLDERS

This solicitation of proxies and VIFs involves securities of a company located in Canada and is being effected in accordance with the corporate laws of the province of Manitoba, Canada. The proxy solicitation rules under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are not applicable to the Company or this solicitation. Shareholders should be aware that disclosure and proxy solicitation requirements under the securities laws of Manitoba, Canada differ from the disclosure and proxy solicitation requirements under United States securities laws.

The enforcement by Shareholders of civil liabilities under United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Company is incorporated under the MCA, some of its directors and its executive officers are residents of Canada and a substantial portion of its assets of such persons are located outside the United States. Shareholders may not be able to sue a foreign company or its officers or directors in a foreign court for violations of United States federal securities laws. It may be difficult to compel a foreign company and its officers and directors to subject themselves to a judgment by a United States court.

FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

This Circular contains forward-looking statements that are based on our management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to us. All statements other than statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or to our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

  • our goals and strategies;

  • expectations regarding revenue, expenses and operations;

  • our having sufficient working capital and be able to secure additional funding necessary for the continued exploration of our property interests;

  • expectations regarding the potential mineralization, geological merit and economic feasibility of our projects;

  • expectations regarding exploration results at the Snow Lake Lithium™ Project;

  • mineral exploration and exploration program cost estimates;

  • expectations regarding any environmental issues that may affect planned or future exploration programs and the potential impact of complying with existing and proposed environmental laws and regulations;

  • receipt and timing of exploration permits and other third-party approvals;

  • government regulation of mineral exploration and development operations;


  • expectations regarding any social or local community issues that may affected planned or future exploration and development programs; and

  • key personnel continuing their employment with us.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as "may," "could," "will," "should," "would," "expect," "plan," "intend," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "project" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect results. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual events or results may vary significantly from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance.

This Circular also contains certain data and information, which we obtained from various government and private publications. Although we believe that the publications and reports are reliable, we have not independently verified the data. Statistical data in these publications includes projections that are based on a number of assumptions. If any one or more of the assumptions underlying the market data is later found to be incorrect, actual results may differ from the projections based on these assumptions.

The forward-looking statements made in this Circular relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this Circular. Although we have ongoing disclosure obligations under United States federal securities laws, we do not intend to update or otherwise revise the forward-looking statements in this Circular, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Unless otherwise stated, the information given in this Circular is given as of March 28, 2024.

Director Qualifications - General

Directors are responsible for overseeing our business consistent with their fiduciary duty to shareholders. This significant responsibility requires highly skilled individuals with various qualities, attributes and professional experience. The Board believes that there are general requirements for service on our Board that are applicable to all directors and that there are other skills and experience that should be represented on the Board as a whole but not necessarily by each director. When evaluating candidates for nomination as new directors, the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board consider the qualifications of director candidates individually and in the broader context of the Board's overall composition and our current and future needs.

Qualifications for all Directors

In its assessment of each potential candidate, including those recommended by shareholders, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers the nominee's judgment, integrity, experience, independence, understanding of our business or other related industries and such other factors the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee determines are pertinent in light of the current needs of the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also takes into account the ability of a director to devote the time and effort necessary to fulfill his or her responsibilities to us.

The Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee require that each director be a recognized person of high integrity with a proven record of success in his or her field. Each director must demonstrate innovative thinking, familiarity with and respect for corporate governance requirements and practices, an appreciation of multiple cultures and a commitment to sustainability and to dealing responsibly with social issues. In addition to the qualifications required of all directors, the Board assesses intangible qualities including the individual's ability to ask difficult questions and, simultaneously, to work collegially.

The Board does not have a specific diversity policy, but considers diversity of race, ethnicity, gender, age, cultural background and professional experiences in evaluating candidates for Board membership. Diversity is important because a variety of points of view contribute to a more effective decision-making process.

Proposal 4. - Re-Appointment and Remuneration of Auditor

The management of the Company will nominate DeVisser Gray LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, of 401-905 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 1L6 to be re-appointed as auditor of the Company to hold office until the close of the next Annual General Meeting of shareholders. It is proposed that the remuneration to be paid to the auditor be fixed by the directors. DeVisser Gray LLP was first retained as the auditor of the Company in May 2021 to audit the Company's financial statements in accordance with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board requirements in contemplation of the Company becoming listed on NASDAQ.

Unless otherwise directed, it is the intention of the persons designated in the accompanying Proxy to vote IN FAVOUR of DeVisser Gray LLP as the auditor of the Company until the close of the next annual meeting of the Shareholders or until its successor is appointed and the authorization of the directors of the Company to fix the remuneration of DeVisser Gray LLP, unless the Shareholder who has given such proxy has directed otherwise.

Proposal 5. - Approval of the Continuance

The Company is currently organized and existing under The Corporations Act (Manitoba) (the "MCA"). The Corporation wishes to continue the Company from the Province of Manitoba being governed under the MCA to the Province of Ontario to be governed under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "OBCA") (the "Continuance").

A corporation subject to the MCA may, in accordance with Section 182(1) of the MCA, if authorized by a special resolution of shareholders of the corporation and establishes to the satisfaction of the director under the MCA that its proposed continuance in another jurisdiction will not adversely affect creditors or shareholders of the corporation, may apply to the appropriate official or public body of another jurisdiction requesting that the corporation be continued as if it had been incorporated under the laws of that other jurisdiction.

Pursuant to Section 182(8) of the MCA, upon receipt of notice satisfactory to the director under the MCA that a corporation that has made an application under Section 182(1) has been continued under the laws of another jurisdiction, the director under the MCA shall file the notice and issue a certificate of discontinuance in accordance with Section 255 of the MCA (the "Certificate of Discontinuance").

Pursuant to Section 180 of the OBCA, a body corporate may apply to the Director appointed pursuant to Section 180 of the OBCA (the "Director") for a certificate of continuance (the "Certificate of Continuance") under the OBCA.

Shareholders will be asked to consider, and if deemed appropriate, to pass, with or without variation, the Continuance Resolution (as defined below) authorizing the Board, in its sole discretion, to apply for a continuance application with each of the director under the MCA and Director as required in connection with the Continuance and a form of articles of continuance of the Company which comply with the provisions of the OBCA (the "Articles of Continuance"). The Continuance will affect certain rights of shareholders as they currently exist under the MCA and shareholders should consult their legal advisors regarding the implications of the Continuance which may be of particular importance to them.

On the date shown on each of the Certificate of Discontinuance and Certificate of Continuance, the Company will become a corporation under the laws of the Province of Ontario as if it had been incorporated under the OBCA. Proceeding with the Continuance will not result in any change of the business of the Company or its assets, liabilities or net worth, or in the persons who constitute the Board and Management.

If the Continuance Resolution is approved by shareholders in accordance with the description below, then the Company may complete the Continuance no later than a date to be determined by the Board before the three year anniversary of the date of the Meeting. Shareholders are urged to vote FOR the Continuance Resolution.


Comparative Summary of the MCA and OBCA

The OBCA provides shareholders with substantially the same rights as are available to shareholders under the MCA, including rights of dissent and appraisal and rights to bring derivative actions and oppression actions. However, there are certain differences between the two statutes and the regulations made thereunder.

The following is a summary of certain differences between the MCA and the OBCA, but it is not intended to be a comprehensive review of the two statutes. Reference should be made to the full text of both statutes and the regulations thereunder for particulars of any differences between them, and shareholders should consult their legal or other professional advisors with regards to all of the implications of the Continuance of the Company from the MCA to the OBCA which may be of importance to them:

MCA

OBCA

Place of Shareholders' Meetings

The MCA provides that, subject to the articles, meetings of shareholders of a corporation shall be held at the place within Manitoba provided in the by-laws or, in the absence of that provision, at such place within Manitoba as the directors may determine. A meeting of shareholders of a corporation may be held outside Manitoba if all the shareholders entitled to vote at that meeting so agree, and a shareholder who attends a meeting of shareholders held outside Manitoba is deemed to have so agreed except where he attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting is not lawfully held.

Place of Shareholders' Meetings

The OBCA provides that, subject to the articles and any unanimous shareholder agreement, meetings of shareholders may be held either inside or outside Ontario as the directors may determine, or in the absence of such a determination, at the place where the registered office of the corporation is located.

Solicitation of Proxies

Under the MCA, a person who solicits, other than by or on behalf of management of the corporation, must send a dissident's proxy circular in prescribed form to the auditor of the corporation, each shareholder whose proxy is solicited and the corporation. The person shall also send a copy of the dissident proxy circular and the other meeting materials to The Manitoba Securities Commission.

Solicitation of Proxies

Under the OBCA, a person who solicits proxies, other than by or on behalf of management of the corporation, must send a dissident's proxy circular in prescribed form to each shareholder whose proxy is solicited and certain other recipients. Pursuant to the OBCA a person may solicit proxies without sending a dissident's proxy circular if either (i) the total number of shareholders whose proxies solicited is 15 or fewer (with two or more joint holders being counted as one shareholder), or (ii) the solicitation is, in certain prescribed circumstances, conveyed by public broadcast, speech or publication.

Record Date of Shareholders' Meetings

Under both the MCA and the OBCA, the directors may set a date as the record date for the purpose of, among other things, determining shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of shareholders. Under the MCA, subject to certain exceptions, the record dates for notice of and voting at a meeting of shareholders must not be more than 50 days or less than 21 days prior to the date of the meeting. In addition, the MCA permits the transferee of shares after the record date for a shareholder meeting, not later than 10 days before the shareholder meeting, to establish a right to vote at the meeting by providing evidence of ownership of shares and demanding that the transferee's name be placed on the voting list in place of the transferor. The OBCA does not have an equivalent provision.

Record Date of Shareholders' Meetings

Under the OBCA, the directors of the corporation may set a date as the record date for the purpose of, among other things, determining shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of shareholders. Under the OBCA, subject to certain exceptions, the record dates for notice of and voting at a meeting of shareholders must not be more than 60 days or less than 30 days prior to the date of the meeting.

Shareholder Proposals

The MCA allows shareholders entitled to vote at an annual meeting of shareholders to submit to a notice of proposal to the corporation. The proposal must be submitted at least 90 days before the anniversary date of the previous annual meeting of shareholders.

Shareholder Proposals

The OBCA allows shareholders entitled to vote or a beneficial owner of shares that are entitled to be voted to submit a notice of proposal. The proposal must be submitted at least 60 days before the anniversary date of the last annual meeting, if the matter is proposed to be raised at an annual meeting, or the date of a meeting other than the annual meeting, if the matter proposed to be raised at a meeting other than an annual meeting.



Dissent Rights

Dissent rights are being provided to Shareholders in respect of the Continuance pursuant to Section 184 of the MCA. As a result, any registered Shareholder may make a claim under that section with respect to all the Shares held by such Shareholder on behalf of any one beneficial owner and registered in the Shareholder's name, if the registered Shareholder complies with the requirements of Section 184 of the MCA and validly dissents with respect to the Continuance and the Continuance becomes effective. Non-registered Shareholders ("Non-Registered Holders") who wish to dissent should be aware that only registered Shareholders are entitled to dissent. A Non-Registered Holder who wishes to exercise the right to dissent should immediately contact the nominee with which the Non-Registered Holder deals in respect of the Shares and either: (i) instruct the nominee to exercise the right to dissent on the Non-Registered Holder's behalf (which, if the Shares are registered in the name of the clearing agency, would require that the Shares first be re-registered in the name of the nominee); or (ii) instruct the nominee to reregister the Shares in the name of the Non-Registered Holder, in which case the Non-Registered Holder would have to exercise the right to dissent directly.

The following summary does not purport to provide a comprehensive statement of the procedures to be followed by a dissenting shareholder under the MCA (a "Dissenting Shareholder"). Section 184 of the MCA, the full text of which is attached as Schedule "A" to this Circular, governs a shareholder's right to dissent. The MCA requires strict compliance with the procedures established therein and failure to strictly comply with such procedures may result in the loss of a shareholder's right to dissent. Accordingly, each Shareholder who wishes to exercise rights of dissent should carefully consider and comply with the provisions of section 184 of the MCA and consult its legal advisors.

Pursuant to Section 184(5) of the MCA, a Dissenting Shareholder who seeks payment of fair value for the Shares held by such Shareholder is required to deliver a written objection to the Continuance Resolution to the Company at or before the Meeting. A Shareholder is not entitled to dissent with respect to the Shares beneficially owned by such Shareholder if that Shareholder votes any of such Shares for the approval of the Continuance Resolution. The execution or exercise of a proxy or otherwise voting against the Continuance Resolution does not constitute a written objection for purposes of the rights to dissent under the MCA. Within 10 days after the Continuance Resolution is approved by the Shareholders, the Company must so notify the Dissenting Shareholder who is then required, within twenty (20) days after receipt of such notice (or if such Dissenting Shareholder does not receive such notice, within twenty (20) days after learning of the approval of the Continuance Resolution), to send to the Company a written notice containing the Shareholder's name and address, the number of Shares in respect of which the Dissenting Shareholder dissents and a demand for payment of the fair value of such shares and, not later than the thirtieth (30th ) day after sending such written notice, to send to the Company or its transfer agent the appropriate share certificate or certificates.

A Dissenting Shareholder who fails to send to the Company, within the appropriate time frame, the certificates representing the Shares in respect of which the Dissenting Shareholder dissents forfeits the right to make a claim under Section 184 of the MCA. The Company or its transfer agent will endorse on the share certificate that the holder is a Dissenting Shareholder and shall forthwith return the share certificates received from a Dissenting Shareholder a notice that the Shareholder is a Dissenting Shareholder and will return forthwith the certificates to the Dissenting Shareholder.

On sending a demand for payment to the Company, a Dissenting Shareholder ceases to have any rights as a Shareholder, other than the right to be paid the fair value of such holder's Shares as determined under Section 184 of the MCA, except where: (a) the Dissenting Shareholder withdraws the demand for payment before the Company makes an offer to the Dissenting Shareholder pursuant to Section 184(12) of the MCA; (b) the Company fails to make an offer pursuant to Section 184(12) of the MCA and the Dissenting Shareholder withdraws the demand for payment; or (c) the transaction contemplated in the Continuance Resolution is terminated, in which case the Dissenting Shareholder's rights as a Shareholder will be reinstated as of the date the Dissenting Shareholder sent the demand for payment. If the Continuance becomes effective, the Company will be required to send, not later than the seventh day after the later of (i) the date that the Continuance becomes effective (the "Effective Date"); or (ii) the day the demand for payment is received, to each Dissenting Shareholder whose demand for payment has been received, a written offer to pay for such Dissenting Shareholder's Shares such amount as the board of directors of the Company considers to be the fair value thereof accompanied by a statement showing how the fair value was determined.


The Company must pay for the Shares of a Dissenting Shareholder within ten days after an offer made as described above has been accepted by a Dissenting Shareholder, but any such offer lapses if the Company does not receive an acceptance thereof within thirty (30) days after such offer has been made.

If such offer is not made or accepted, the Company may, within fifty (50) days after the Effective Date or within such further period as a court may allow, apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to fix the fair value of such Shares of the Dissenting Shareholder. If the Company fails to make such an application, a Dissenting Shareholder has the right to apply for the same purpose within a further twenty (20) days or within such further period as the court may allow. A Dissenting Shareholder is not required to give security for costs in such an application.

Upon an application to a court, all Dissenting Shareholders whose Shares have not been purchased by the Company will be joined as parties and be bound by the decision of the court, and the Company will be required to notify each Dissenting Shareholder of the date, place and consequences of the application and of the right to appear and be heard in person or by counsel. Upon any such application to a court, the court may determine whether any person is a Dissenting Shareholder who should be joined as a party, and the court will then fix a fair value for the Shares of all Dissenting Shareholders who have not accepted an offer to pay. The court may in its discretion appoint one or more appraisers to assist the court in fixing the fair value of the Shares. The final order of a court will be rendered against the Company in favour of each Dissenting Shareholder and for the amount of the Shares as fixed by the court. The court may, in its discretion, allow a reasonable rate of interest on the amount payable to each such Dissenting Shareholder from the Effective Date until the date of payment.

Unless the Shareholder directs that his, her, or its Shares are to be withheld from voting for the Continuance Resolution, the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy intend to vote in favour of the Continuance Resolution.

Vote Required

At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider, and if thought advisable, to pass the Continuance Resolution to approve the Continuance. To be effective, the Continuance Resolution must be approved by the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast on the resolution by Shareholders present virtually or by proxy at the Meeting. Should Shareholders fail to approve the Continuance Resolution by the requisite margin, the Continuance will not be completed.

Continuance Resolution

Shareholders are asked to consider and, if thought fit, to pass the special resolution set forth below (the "Continuance Resolution"), authorizing the Company to discontinue under the MCA, make an application to continue the Company under the OBCA and, in connection therewith, approve the Articles of Continuance. The full text of the Continuance Resolution is set forth below:

"BE IT RESOLVED AS A SPECIAL RESOLUTION THAT:

1. the discontinuance of Snow Lake Resources Ltd. (the "Company") from The Corporations Act (Manitoba) (the "MCA") and the continuance of the Company under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "OBCA") is hereby authorized and approved;

2. the Company be authorized to apply to the registrar under Section 182(1) of the MCA for authorization to discontinue under the MCA;

3. the Company be authorized to make application to the Director for a certificate of continuance (the "Certificate of Continuance"), in the form that the director fixes, to continue the Company under the OBCA; 4. subject to the issuance of such authorizations from the registrar under the MCA and the director under the OBCA and without affecting the validity of the Company and existence of the Company by or under its articles and of any act done thereunder, its articles are hereby amended to make all changes necessary to conform to the requirements of the OBCA;


5. notwithstanding that this resolution has been duly passed by the shareholders of the Company, the board of directors of the Company be and are hereby authorized and empowered to revoke this resolution, abandon any application made in connection with the continuance and determine not to proceed with the continuance, without further approval of the shareholders of the Company, provided that the board of directors of the Company may not proceed with this resolution beyond the third anniversary of the shareholders of the Company passing this resolution; and

6. any director or officer of the Company be and such director or officer of the Company is hereby authorized and empowered, acting for, in the name of and on behalf of the Company, to execute or cause to be executed, under the seal of the Company or otherwise, and to deliver or cause to be delivered any and all such documents and instruments and to do or to cause to be done all such other acts and things as, in the opinion of such director or officer, may be necessary or desirable in order to fulfil the intent of this resolution."

The Board recommends that shareholders vote FOR the Continuance Resolution. To be effective, the Continuance Resolution must be approved by not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast by the Shareholders present virtually, or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote at the Meeting. Unless the shareholder directs that his or her Shares are to be voted against the Continuance Resolution, the persons named in the Proxy intend to vote FOR the Continuance Resolution.

Registered Shareholders are entitled to dissent in respect of the Continuance Resolution in the manner provided in Section 182 of the MCA. Sections 182 and 187 of the MCA are reproduced in their entirety at Schedule "B" to this Circular. Shareholders are not entitled to dissent with respect to any other matter that may be considered at the Meeting.

Proposal 6. - Amended and Restated By-Laws No.1

At the Meeting, the Shareholders will be asked to approve, confirm, and ratify the amended and restated by-law No. 1 of the Company (the "A&R By-Laws"). The A&R By-Law was created to modernize the existing by-law no. 1 of the Company and confirm it with the Company's peer group. The text of the A&R By-Laws is attached to the Circular as Schedule "C". Shareholders should read the A&R By-Laws in its entirety.

Although the A&R By-Laws were approved and went into effect on March 29, 2024, Shareholders must confirm the A&R By-Laws at the Meeting. At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider, and, if deemed advisable, approve the resolution the text of which will be substantially as follows (the "A&R By-Laws Resolution"):

"NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED AS AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION THAT:

1. the amended and restated by-law no.1 of the Company, as reflected in the copy attached to Schedule "C" to the Company's management information circular dated March 28, 2024, is hereby ratified, confirmed and approved without amendment;

2. all prior actions taken by the Company with respect to the amended and restated by-law no.1 of the Company are hereby confirmed and approved; and

3. any director or officer of the Company be and is hereby authorized and directed, acting for, in the name of and on behalf of the Company, to execute or cause to be executed, under the corporate seal of the Company or otherwise, and to deliver or cause to be delivered, such other documents and instruments, and to do or cause to be done all such acts and things, as may in the opinion of such director or officer of the Company be necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of the foregoing resolution." The Board and Management consider the approval of the A&R By-Law Resolution to be appropriate and in the best interests of the Company.


The Board recommends a vote "FOR" the approval of the By-Law Resolution. In the absence of instructions to the contrary, the Management Designates named on the Proxy intend to vote FOR the approval of the A&R By-Law Resolution.

A simple majority of the votes cast at the Meeting (in person or by proxy) is required in order to approve the A&R By-Law Resolution. If the A&R By-Law Resolution is approved at the Meeting, the A&R By-Law Resolution will continue to be effective and in full force and effect in accordance with their terms and conditions beyond the termination of the Meeting. If the A&R By-Law Resolution is not approved at the Meeting, the A&R By-Law Resolution will terminate and be of no further force or effect from and after the termination of the Meeting.

Proposal 7. - Approval of the Consolidation

At the Meeting, management proposes that the Shareholders approve a special resolution providing for the consolidation (the "Consolidation") of the Company's Shares at the Consolidation Ratio, to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

Background to and Reasons for the Consolidation

The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company to provide the Board with the flexibility to elect to reduce the number of outstanding Shares by way of the Consolidation. Some of the potential benefits of the Consolidation include:

  • Increased Investor Interest. The current share structure of the Company may make it more difficult for the Company to attract additional equity financing that may be required or desirable to maintain the Company or to further develop its products. The Consolidation may have the effect of raising, on a proportionate basis, the price of the Shares, which could appeal to certain investors that find shares valued above certain prices to be more attractive from an investment perspective.
  • Improving the Prospects of Raising Additional Capital. The higher anticipated price of the post-Consolidation Shares will allow the Company to raise additional capital through the sale of additional Shares at a higher price per Share than would be possible in the absence of the Consolidation.
  • Other Transactions. The Board believes that shareholder approval of the Consolidation Resolution is advisable so as to enable the Company to pursue future mergers, acquisitions and business opportunities. If the Company enters into a share-based transaction, the Consolidation may lead to increased interest by a wider audience of potential investors, resulting in a more efficient market for the Shares.

The Company believes that providing the Board with the authority to select the Consolidation Ratio and to effect the Consolidation in one or more consolidations provides the flexibility to implement the Consolidation in a manner intended to maximize the anticipated benefits of the Consolidation for the Company and shareholders.

The Consolidation are subject to certain conditions, including the approval of the shareholders. If the requisite approvals are obtained and the Board elects to proceed with the Consolidation, the Consolidation will take place at a time to be determined by the Board through one or more Consolidation. No further action on the part of shareholders would be required in order for the Board to implement the Consolidation. Shareholders will be notified and registered Shareholders will receive a letter of transmittal containing instructions for exchange of their share certificates in connection with each Consolidation. The Consolidation Resolution also authorizes the Board to elect not to proceed with, and abandon, the Consolidation at any time if it determines, in its sole discretion, to do so.

Following a vote by the Board to implement the Consolidation, the Company will file Articles of Amendment in accordance with the MCA or OBCA, as applicable to amend the Articles. A particular Consolidation will become effective on the date shown in the certificate of amendment issued in accordance with the MCA or OBCA, as applicable.


Effects of Consolidation

If approved and implemented, each Consolidation will occur simultaneously for all of the Shares at the same Consolidation Ratio. Except for any variances attributable to fractional shares, the change in the number of issued and outstanding Shares that will result from a Consolidation will cause no change in the capital attributable to the Shares and will not materially affect any shareholder's percentage ownership in the Company, even though such ownership will be represented by a smaller number of Shares.

The Consolidation will not materially affect any shareholder's proportionate voting rights. Each Share outstanding after a Consolidation will be entitled to one vote and will be fully paid and non-assessable.

The implementation of a Consolidation would not affect the total shareholders' equity of the Company or any components of shareholders' equity as reflected on the Company's financial statements except: (i) to change the number of issued and outstanding Shares; and (ii) to change the stated capital of the Shares to reflect a Consolidation.

Each stock option, warrant or other security of the Company exercisable into pre-Consolidation Shares (together, the "Other Securities") that has not been exchanged or cancelled prior to the effective date of the implementation of a Consolidation will be adjusted pursuant to the terms thereof on the same exchange ratio as described above, and each  holder of pre-Consolidation Other Securities will become entitled to receive post-Consolidation Shares pursuant to such adjusted terms.

No Fractional Shares to be Issued

No fractional Shares will be issued upon implementation of a Consolidation. If a Consolidation would otherwise result in the issuance of a fractional share, such fraction will be rounded to the next lowest whole number of Shares.

Implementation

The implementation of the proposed Consolidations is conditional upon the Company obtaining the necessary regulatory consents. The Consolidation Resolution provides that the Board is authorized, in its sole discretion, to determine not to proceed with the Consolidations without further approval of the shareholders. In particular, if the Consolidation Resolution is approved at Meeting, the Board may determine after the Meeting not to proceed with any Consolidation. If the Board does not implement any or all of the Consolidations within 36 months following the Meeting, the authority granted by the Consolidation Resolution to implement the Consolidations on the approved terms would lapse and be of no further force or effect.

Consolidation Resolution

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, approve the Consolidation Resolution authorizing the Board to elect, in its sole discretion, to file Articles of Amendment giving effect to the Consolidations. The Consolidation Resolution is a special resolution and, as such, requires approval by not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast by the shareholders present virtually, or represented by proxy, at the Meeting. The full text of the Consolidation Resolution is as follows:

"BE IT RESOLVED AS A SPECIAL RESOLUTION THAT:

1. the board (the "Board") of directors of Snow Lake Resources Ltd. (the "Company") is authorized to take such actions as are necessary to consolidate the ("Consolidation"), as described in the Company's management information circular dated March 28, 2024;

2. the Board be and is hereby authorized in its sole discretion to fix the Consolidation Ratio to be used in the Consolidation;

3.


in the event that the Consolidation would otherwise result in the issuance of fractional Share, no fractional Share shall be issued and such fraction will be rounded down to the nearest whole number; 4. the Board, in its sole discretion, may act upon this resolution to effect the Consolidation, or if deemed appropriate and without any further approval from the shareholders of the Company, may choose to act upon this special resolution notwithstanding shareholder approval of the Consolidation, and it is authorized to revoke this special resolution in its sole discretion at any time prior to effecting the Consolidation, provided that the Board may not proceed with this resolution beyond the third anniversary of the shareholders of the Company passing this resolution;

5. any officer or director of the Company is authorized to cancel (or cause to be cancelled) any certificates evidencing the Shares to be issued (or cause to be issued) certificates representing the new Shares to be holders thereof; and

6. any director or officer of the Company be, and each of them is, hereby authorized and directed for and in the name of and on behalf of the Company to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered one or more Articles of Amendment of the Company to the registrar under The Corporations Act (Manitoba) or the director under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), as applicable, and to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered all documents and to take any action which, in the opinion of that person, is necessary or desirable to give effect to this special resolution.

The Board unanimously recommends a vote in favour of the Consolidation Resolution. The persons named in the accompanying Proxy (if named and absent contrary directions) intend to vote the Shares represented thereby FOR the Consolidation Resolution unless otherwise instructed on a properly executed and validly deposited proxy.

Effective Date

Subject to applicable regulatory requirements, the Consolidation Resolution will be effective on the date on which Articles of Amendment are filed and certified by the Ministry, on which the directors of the Company determine to carry out the Consolidation.

If the Consolidation Resolution is approved, no further action on the part of the Shareholders will be required for the Board to implement the Consolidation.

Proposal 8. - Approval of the Name Change

The Board anticipates that it may be in the best interest of the Company to change the name of the Company. To provide the Board with maximum flexibility in connection with the proposed repositioning of the Company, the Board is seeking approval from Shareholders to authorize the Board to amend the Articles to change the name of the Company to such name as the Board may determine in its sole discretion (the "Name Change"). At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, to pass, with or without variation, a special resolution in the form set out below (the "Name Change Resolution") authorizing the Board, in its sole discretion, to change the name of the Company to such name as the Board may determine, without further approval of the shareholders.

Notwithstanding approval of the Name Change Resolution by shareholders, the Board may, in its sole discretion, abandon the Name Change at any time, without the approval or further approval or action by, or prior notice to the Shareholders. If the Board does not implement the Name Change within 36 months of the approval of the Name Change Resolution, the authority granted by the Name Change Resolution will lapse and be of no further force or effect.

Name Change Resolution

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, to pass, with or without variation, the Name Change Resolution as a special resolution, subject to such amendments, variations or additions as may be approved at the Meeting. The full text of the Name Change Resolution is set forth below:


"BE IT RESOLVED AS A SPECIAL RESOLUTION THAT:

1. the Articles be amended to change the name of the Company from "Snow Lake Resources Ltd." to such name as may be approved by the Board (including the changing of the Company's stock symbol to reflect its new name, as applicable) in its sole discretion, without further approval of the shareholders of the Company;

2. the effective date of such name change shall be the date shown in the certificate of amendment or such other date indicated in the articles of amendment provided that, in any event, such date shall be prior to 36 months from the date hereof and if not implemented within such period, the authority granted by this resolution to effect a name change on the foregoing terms will lapse and be of no further force or effect;

3. notwithstanding that this resolution has been duly passed by the shareholders of the Company, the Board be and are hereby authorized and empowered to revoke this resolution at any time prior to receipt of a certificate of amendment of the Articles giving effect to the name change, without further approval of the shareholders of the Company; and

4. any director or officer of the Company be and such director or officer of the Company is hereby authorized and empowered, acting for, in the name of and on behalf of the Company, to execute or cause to be executed, under the seal of the Company or otherwise, and to deliver or cause to be delivered any and all such documents and instruments and to do or to cause to be done all such other acts and things as, in the opinion of such director or officer, may be necessary or desirable in order to fulfil the intent of this resolution."

The Board recommends that shareholders vote FOR the Name Change Resolution. To be effective, the Name Change Resolution must be approved by not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast by the shareholders present, or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote at the Meeting. Unless the shareholder directs that his or her Shares are to be voted against the Name Change Resolution, the persons named in the Proxy intend to vote FOR the Name Change Resolution.

If the Company proceeds with a Name Change, letters of transmittal will be made available to shareholders for use in depositing their certificates representing their Shares to Endeavor Trust in exchange for new certificates representing the new name of the Company. Shareholders are not required to take any action at this time. Objecting Beneficial Shareholders and non-objecting Beneficial Shareholders holding their Shares through an intermediary should note that intermediaries may have different procedures for processing a name change than those that will be put in place by the Company for registered Shareholders. If you hold your Shares with an intermediary and you have questions in this regard, you are encouraged to contact your intermediary. Shareholders should not destroy any share certificates and should not submit any certificates until requested to do so, if required.

STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Named Executive Officer Compensation

This discussion describes the Company's compensation scheme for each person who acted as Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") of the Company, and the next most highly compensated executive officer (or next most highly compensated individual acting in a similar capacity), other than the CEO and CFO, whose compensation was more than $150,000 during the financial year ended June 30, 2023 (each a "Named Executive Officer" or "NEO"). This section will address the Company's executive compensation philosophy and objectives and provide a review of the process the Board intends to undertake in deciding how to compensate the Company's Named Executive Officers.

The Named Executive Officers during the financial year ended June 30, 2023, consisted of: Phillip Gross, Dale Schultz, Derek Knight, Perez Schapiro, Brian Youngs, and Keith Li.


Employment and Indemnification Agreements

The Company previously entered into consulting agreements dated November 1, 2021 with entities owned and controlled by Phillip Gross, the former Chief Executive Officer (the "Gross Agreement") and Derek Knight, the Chief Operating Officer (the "Knight Agreement", and together with the Gross Agreement, the "Gross and Knight Agreements"). As at June 30, 2023, the Company has made a claim against certain former directors of the Company and entities owned and controlled those certain directors for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty as a result of, amongst other matters, of those former directors approving changes to the Gross and Knight Agreements for termination payments of US$1,392,000 (to C$1,872,000) during a time when it was clear that a change of control of the Company was imminent and increased the range of instances where they would be eligible for those payments in connection with the Gross Agreement and Knight Agreements. The Company takes the position that the amendments are void and that the former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer were not entitled to any payments under the Gross and Knight Agreements. The Company seeks to recover the payments made in connection with these agreements.

The Company subsequently entered into an executive employment agreement with Frank Wheatley, effective July 14, 2023. The employment agreement can be terminated by the Company without cause upon the payment of between three and twelve months of base salary depending on when such termination occurs. The Company has also entered into consulting agreements with entities owned by Peretz Schapiro (the "Schapiro Agreement") and Brian Youngs (the "Youngs Agreement"). Each of the Schapiro Agreement and Youngs Agreement can be terminated by the Company without cause upon the payment of ninety days' service fees in lieu of such notice.

Each executive officer has agreed to hold, both during and after the employment agreement expires or is earlier terminated, in strict confidence and not to use or disclose to any person, corporation or other entity without written consent, any confidential information. In addition, certain of our executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer, Frank Wheatley, have agreed to be bound by non-solicitation restrictions set forth in their agreements.

Although as independent contractors, certain of the Company's executive officers are involved in other business activities. The Company expects that as the Company's business operations ramp up its executive officers will devote substantially all of their time to its business operations.

The Company has also entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify its directors and executive officers against certain liabilities and expenses incurred by such persons in connection with claims made by reason of their being such a director or officer.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The following provides a discussion of all significant elements of the compensation to be awarded to, earned by, paid to, or payable to the Company's NEOs, to the extent that it has been determined.

Oversight and Description of NEO Compensation

The following compensation discussion and analysis is intended to provide information relating to the objectives and processes of the Company's executive compensation program and to discuss the decision-making process relating to compensation.

The primary objective of the Company's executive compensation program is to recruit, retain and motivate top quality individuals at the executive level. The program is designed (a) to assist the Company in reaching its potential by achieving long term goals and success and (b) to encourage and reward its NEOs in connection with the ongoing development of the Company and its operations.

The Board believes that executive compensation should be fair and reasonable and be determined, in part, based on industry standard for similar positions in other comparable issuers. Compensation paid to the NEOs is determined on the basis set forth in the above paragraph and is paid to the NEOs in order to motivate and reward their performance. Grants of options to purchase Shares ("Options") to NEOs are entirely at the discretion of the Board, with reference to the same factors set forth above that inform decisions with respect to base salary. Previous Option grants are taken into account when considering new grants. Stock option grants are designed to reward the NEOs for success on a similar basis as the shareholders of the Company, but these rewards are highly dependent upon the volatile stock market, much of which is beyond the control of the NEOs. When new options are granted, the Board takes into account the previous grants of options, the number of stock options currently held, position, overall individual performance, anticipated contribution to the Company's future success and the individual's ability to influence corporate and business performance.


The Company generally endorses the concept that executive compensation should meet the following objectives:

  • to align the interests of executive officers with the short and long-term interests of Shareholders;

  • to link executive compensation to the performance of the Company and individual; and

  • to compensate executive officers at a level and in a manner that ensures the Company is capable of attracting, motivating, retaining, and inspiring individuals with exceptional skills.

Compensation of the NEO in the financial year ended June 30, 2023 was made up of the following elements: (i) base salary or consulting fees, and (ii) Options granted on a discretionary basis by the Board, as set out above and in accordance with the purposes of the Stock Option Plan referred to under the heading "Incentive Plan Awards" below. The Company has no pension or group benefits plans and does not offer its NEOs any other perquisites or personal benefits. Other than otherwise described in this Circular, neither the Board nor the Compensation Committee have considered the implications of the risks associated with the company's compensation policies and practices The following table sets forth for the years ended June 30, 2023, information concerning the total compensation paid to the Company's NEOs and Directors.

Incentive Plan Awards

On May 1, 2019, the Snow Lake Resources Ltd. Stock Option Plan was established. It was subsequently amended and restated on October 26, 2021 (as amended and restated, the "Plan"). The purpose of the Plan is to grant stock options, or Options, to encourage eligible persons to remain with our Company and to attract new directors, officers, employees and consultants. On September 7, 2022, the Plan was purported to be further amended and restated (the "Purported 2022 Plan") at a meeting of the Board to add cashless exercise of the Options under the Plan. On May 17, 2023, the Board determined that the September 7, 2022, meeting was neither properly called nor held and accordingly the Purported 2022 Plan, including the cashless exercise feature, was never adopted and the Plan remained the stock option plan in effect prior to the September 7, 2022 meeting. In addition, on May 17, 2023, the Board determined that in the event that is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgement that the Purported 2022 Plan were validly approved, the Board approved the removal of the cashless exercise feature from the Purported 2022 Plan and reverted back to the Plan. The aggregate number of Shares that may be reserved for issuance pursuant to Options under the Plan shall not exceed 10% (or 2,126,607) of the outstanding Shares at the time of the granting of Options, less the aggregate number of Shares then reserved for issuance pursuant to any other share compensation arrangement. As of the date of this Circular, 1,318,835 of the Shares are reserved for issuance under the Plan, 97,771 of the Shares are currently potentially issuable upon the exercise of outstanding Options at an exercise price of US$7.50 per share, 160,000 of Shares are potentially issuable upon the exercise of outstanding Options currently issued and outstanding at an exercise price of C$2.50 (approximately US$2.02) per share, 550,000 of the Shares are currently potentially issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options issued and outstanding at an exercise price of US$2.50 per share and 250,000 of the Shares are currently potentially issuable upon the exercise of outstanding Options issued and outstanding at an exercise price of US$2.25 per Share.

Options give the option holder the right to acquire from us a designated number of Shares at a purchase price that is fixed upon the grant of the option. The exercise price shall not be lower than the greater of the closing market prices of the underlying securities on: (a) the trading day prior to the date of grant of the Options; and (b) the date of grant of the Options.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

The overall purpose of the audit committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Company is to assist the Board in its oversight of the integrity of the Company's financial statements and other relevant public disclosure, the Company's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements relating to financial reporting, the external auditors' qualifications and independence and the performance of the internal audit function and the external auditors.


Audit Committee Charter

The Board has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee which sets out the Audit Committee's responsibilities in reviewing the financial statements of the Company and public disclosure documents containing financial information and reporting on such review to the Board, review of the Company's public disclosure documents that contain financial information, oversight of the work and review of the independence of the external auditors and reviewing, evaluating and approving the internal control procedures that are implemented and maintained by management. A copy of the charter of the Audit Committee is set forth in Schedule "D" to this Circular.

Audit Committee Composition

The following were the members of the Audit Committee, as at the end of our last fiscal year:

Name Independent Financially Literacy
Brian Imrie (Chair) Independent(1) Financially Literate and Audit Committee Financial Expert(2) (3)
Shlomo Kievman Independent(1) Financially Literate and Audit Committee Financial Expert(2) (3)
Kathleen Skerrett Independent(1) Financially Literate and Audit Committee Financial Expert(2) (3)

(1) As defined by National Instrument 52-110 - Audit Committees ("NI 52-110") and by Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and Rule 5605(c)(2) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.
(2) As defined by NI 52-110
(3) As defined by Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K.

The independent directors of the Company do not hold regularly scheduled meetings at which non-independent directors and members of management are not in attendance but does have informal meetings where such persons have not been present. To facilitate open and candid discussion among the independent directors, the independent directors may hold in camera sessions at Board meetings. The independent directors may in future consider holding regularly scheduled meetings at which non-independent directors and members of management are not in attendance.

Currently, the Board is satisfied that it exercises its responsibilities for independent oversight of management. The ability to establish ad hoc committees comprised of a majority of independent directors provides the Board with the ability to meet independently of management whenever deemed necessary or appropriate and the chair of each such ad hoc committee provides leadership for such committee.

Audit Committee Oversight

At no time since the commencement of the Company's most recently completed financial year was a recommendation of the Audit Committee to nominate or compensate an external auditor not adopted by the Board.

Relevant Education and Experience

All of the members of the Audit Committee have been either directly involved in the preparation of the financial statements, filing of the quarterly and annual financial statements, dealing with the auditors, or as a member of the Audit Committee. All members have the ability to read, analyze, and understand the complexities surrounding the issuance of financial statements.

Reliance on Certain Exemptions

In accordance with Canadian law and practice and subject to the exemption set forth in Rule 5615 of the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules, as a foreign private issuer, we have elected to rely on home country governance requirements and certain exemptions thereunder rather than the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules, with respect to the following requirements:

The Company does not intend to follow Nasdaq Rule 5605(d)(2), which requires a compensation committee to compose entirely of independent directors. The Company desires to follow the Home Country Practices instead.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Composition - Rule 5605(e)(1)

The Company does not intend to follow Nasdaq Rule 5605(e)(1), which requires a nominating and corporate governance committee to compose entirely of independent directors. The Company desires to follow the Home Country Practices instead.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

The Compensation Committee consists of Nachum Labkowski, Peretz Schapiro and Shlomo Kievman. Nachum Labkowski serves as chairman of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee assists the Board in reviewing and approving the compensation structure, including all forms of compensation, relating to our directors and executive officers. All of the members of the Compensation Committee are independent. The Company's compensation program is designed to provide competitive levels of compensation, a significant portion of which is dependent upon individual and corporate performance and contribution to increasing shareholder value. The Board recognizes the need to provide a total compensation package that will attract and retain qualified and experienced executives as well as align the compensation level of each executive to that executive's level of responsibility.

At this time, the Board has not established any specific performance criteria or goals. While the determination of the compensation of NEOs is subjective, the directors of the Company as a whole, considered among other things, (i) the position held, including the roles and responsibilities of the NEOs; and (ii) the individual experience and skills of, and expected contributions from the NEOs.

The objectives and reasons for this system of compensation are generally to allow the Company to remain competitive compared to its peers in attracting and retaining experienced personnel. In general, a NEO's compensation is comprised of salary, wages or contractor payments and stock option grants.

The Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things: (i) reviewing and approving the remuneration of our executive officers; (ii) making recommendations to the board regarding the compensation of our independent directors; (iii) making recommendations to the board regarding equity-based and incentive compensation plans, policies and programs; and (iv) reviewing and assessing annually the compensation committee's performance and the adequacy of its charter.

NOMINATING AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE

The nominating and corporate governance committee (the "Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee") consists of Nachum Labkowski, Peretz Schapiro and Kathleen Skerrett. Kathleen Skerrett serves as chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assists the Board in selecting individuals qualified to become our directors and in determining the composition of the Board and its committees.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for, among other things: (i) identifying and evaluating individuals qualified to become members of the Board by reviewing nominees for election to the board submitted by shareholders and recommending to the Board director nominees for each annual meeting of shareholders and for election to fill any vacancies on the Board; (ii) advising the Board with respect to Board organization, desired qualifications of board members, the membership, function, operation, structure and composition of committees (including any committee authority to delegate to subcommittees), and self-evaluation and policies; (iii) advising on matters relating to corporate governance and monitoring developments in the law and practice of corporate governance; (iv) overseeing compliance with the our code of ethics; and (v) approving any related party transactions.


The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee's methods for identifying candidates for election to the Board will include the solicitation of ideas for possible candidates from a number of sources - members of the Company's Board, our executives, individuals personally known to the members of the Board, and other research. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also, from time-to-time, retain one or more third-party search firms to identify suitable candidates.

In making director recommendations, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may consider some or all of the following factors: (i) the candidate's judgment, skill, experience with other organizations of comparable purpose, complexity and size, and subject to similar legal restrictions and oversight; (ii) the interplay of the candidate's experience with the experience of other board members; (iii) the extent to which the candidate would be a desirable addition to the board and any committee thereof; (iv) whether or not the person has any relationships that might impair his or her independence; and (v) the candidate's ability to contribute to the effective management of the Company, taking into account the needs of our company and such factors as the individual's experience, perspective, skills and knowledge of the industry in which the Company operates.

STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

National Policy 58-101 - Corporate Governance Guidelines ("NI 58-101") has set out best practice guidelines for effective corporate governance (the "Guidelines"). The Guidelines address matters such as the constitution and independence of corporate boards, the functions to be performed by boards and their committees and the effectiveness and education of board members. NI 58-101 requires the disclosure by each listed corporation of its approach to corporate governance with reference to the Guidelines as it is recognized that the unique characteristics of individual corporations will result in varying degrees of compliance. Below is a description of the Company's corporate governance practices in relation to the Guidelines.

Board

For the purposes of NI 58-101, a director is considered "independent" if he/she/it does not have any direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. A "material relationship" is in turn defined as a relationship which could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with such member's independent judgement. The Board is currently comprised of five members, three of whom the Board has determined are "independent directors" within the meaning of NI 58-101.

Currently, of the Company's five directors, all other than Nachum Labkowski (being the Chair of the Board), are considered independent directors within the meaning of NI 58-101 since they are each independent of management and free from any material relationship with the Company. The basis for this determination is that, since the date of incorporation of the Company, other than within an interim basis, none of the independent directors have worked for the Company, received remuneration from the Company or had material contracts with or material interests in the Company which could interfere with their ability to act with a view to the best interests of the Company.

The Board has implemented processes to ensure it is able to function independently of Management. To enhance its ability to act independent of Management, the Board may meet in the absence of members of Management and the non-independent directors may excuse such persons from all or a portion of any meeting where a potential conflict of interest arises or where otherwise appropriate. Such meetings of the independent directors occur on an ad hoc basis, as and when required. The independent members of the Board have not had a meeting at which non-independent directors and members of management are not in attendance. The Chair of the Board is not an independent director and the Board has not appointed a lead director.


Board Mandate

The Board does not have a written mandate. However, the Board is responsible for the stewardship of the Company and for supervising the management of its business and affairs. While Management is responsible for the day-to-day conduct of the Company's business, in carrying out its supervisory responsibilities, the Board will oversee the development, adoption and implementation of the Company's strategies and plans.

The Board's responsibilities, either directly or through committees of the Board, include: (a) adopting a strategic planning process and approving a strategic plan; (b) identifying the Company's principal risks and ensuring the implementation of appropriate systems to manage these risks; (c) ensuring appropriate succession planning, including appointing, training and monitoring senior Management; (d) developing a communications policy for the Company; (e) monitoring and ensuring the integrity of the Company's internal control and management information systems; (f) ensuring appropriate standards of corporate conduct, including adopting and monitoring compliance of a code of business conduct and ethics; (g) reviewing and approving material transactions not in the ordinary course of business; (h) reviewing and approving compensation and/or changes in senior Management; (i) developing appropriate, applicable corporate governance principles and guidelines; (j) reviewing annually the contribution of the Board as a whole, the committees of the Board and each of the directors; and (k) reviewing and approving the financial statements, annual capital budget and any material changes to the operating budget.

Position Descriptions

Given the small size of the Company's infrastructure and the existence of formal charters governing each of the committees of the Board, the Board does not feel that it is necessary at this time to formalize position descriptions for the CEO, Chairperson of the Board or the Chair of each such committee in order to delineate their respective responsibilities. Accordingly, these roles are delineated on the basis of customary practice.

Orientation and Continuing Education

While the Company currently has no formal orientation and education program for new Board members, sufficient information (such as recent financial statements, prospectuses, proxy solicitation materials, technical reports and various other operating, property and budget reports) is provided to any new Board member to ensure that new directors are familiarized with the Company's business and the procedures of the Board. In addition, new directors are encouraged to visit and meet with Management on a regular basis. The Company also encourages continuing education of its directors and officers, where appropriate, in order to ensure that they have the necessary skills and knowledge to meet their respective obligations to the Company.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board does not take any formal measures to encourage and promote a culture of ethical business conduct but does rely upon the selection of persons as directors, officers and employees who they consider to meet the highest ethical standards.

The Board itself must comply with the conflict of interest provisions of the MCA, as well as the relevant securities regulatory instruments, in order to ensure that directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in respect of which a director or executive officer has a material interest.

Nomination of Directors

The Board has established the nominating and corporate governance committee (the "Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee"), which is responsible for the appointment and assessment of directors. The members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Kathleen Skerrett (Chair), Nachum Labkowski and Peretz Schapiro. All are independent within the meaning of NI 58-101. While there are no specific criteria for Board membership, the Company attempts to attract and maintain directors with business knowledge and a particular knowledge of mineral exploration and development or other areas (such as finance) which provide knowledge which would assist in guiding the officers of the Company. As such, nominations tend to be the result of recruitment efforts by management and discussions among the directors prior to the consideration of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Board as a whole.


Other Board Committees

The Board currently has the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee as their only standing committees.

Assessments

The Board is responsible for annually assessing its overall performance and that of its committees. The objective of this review is to contribute to a process of continuous improvement in the Board's execution of its responsibilities. The review has regard to the mandate or charter of the Board or committee and identifies any areas where the directors or management believe that the Board could make a better collective contribution to overseeing the affairs of the Company. The Board is also responsible for regularly assessing the effectiveness and contribution of the individual directors, having regard to the competencies and skills each director is expected to bring to the Board.

Director Term Limits and Other Mechanisms of Board Renewal

The Board is concerned that imposing inflexible director term limits or mandatory retirement ages would discount the value of experience of the Company's history and culture and the importance of continuity and risk the loss of key directors. The Board has therefore elected not to adopt term limits or mandatory retirement policies, but rather relies on the collective experience and judgement of its members to determine when changes in the Board are appropriate. Shareholder feedback and voting results are also considered by the Board in this regard.

Diversity Policy

The members of the Board have diverse backgrounds and expertise and were selected with the belief that the Company and its stakeholders would benefit from such a broad range of talent and experience. The Board considers merit as the key requirement for board appointments. The members of the Board are currently comprised of 20% (1/5) women and the senior management team is comprised of no women. The Company has not adopted a written diversity policy and has sought to attract and maintain diversity at the Board level informally through the recruitment efforts of Management in discussion with directors prior to proposing nominees to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and to the Board as a whole for consideration.

Consideration of the Representation of Women on the Board and in Executive Officer Appointments

In identifying suitable Board nominees or in selecting and assessing candidates for executive positions, candidates will be considered on merit against objective criteria regarding business experience, skill sets, competencies, technical expertise, sector specific knowledge and with due regard for the benefit of diversity including the level of representation of women in these capacities. As the need for new directors or executive officers arises, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assesses candidates on the basis of industry experience and business acumen with specific knowledge of mineral exploration and development or other areas (such as finance) as desired at that particular time by the Company, the Board and its committees. Board candidates are also evaluated against the area of expertise of existing members so new appointments may contribute to expanding the Board's breadth of experience.

Company's Targets for Women on the Board and in Executive Officer Positions

Diversity including gender, age, nationality, cultural and educational background, business knowledge and other experience, are among the factors that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers in identifying and selecting candidates for the Board and executive positions. These diverse skills and backgrounds help to create a business environment that contains a range of diverse perspectives and is an environment in which all employees and directors are treated with fairness and respect and have equal access to opportunities for advancement based on skills and aptitude. As a result, the Company has not adopted targets based on any specific area of diversity and does not yet set targets for women on the Board or in executive officer positions.


Currently, one of the five members of the Board (20%) is a woman. None of the executive officers of the Company is a woman.

INDEBTEDNESS OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

There is not as of the date hereof and has not been since the beginning of the Company's last completed financial year, any indebtedness owing to the Company by the directors and senior officers of the Company or any of their associates or affiliates, except as disclosed in this Circular.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this Circular and to the knowledge of Management, no members of Management, no Proposed Nominee or any associate or affiliate of any Management member or Proposed Nominee, has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership or otherwise, in matters to be acted upon at the Meeting.

INTEREST OF INFORMED PERSONS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

To the knowledge of the Management, there is no material interest, direct or indirect, of (i) any director or executive officer of the Company, (ii) any person who beneficially owns, or controls or directs, directly or indirectly, voting securities of the Company or a combination of both carrying more than 10 percent of the voting rights attached to all outstanding voting securities of the Company other than voting securities held by the person as underwriter in the course of a distribution, (iii) the Company if it has purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired any of its securities, for so long as it holds any of its securities, (iv) any director or executive officer of a subsidiary of the Company or any person identified in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), (v) any Proposed Nominee and (vi) any associate or affiliate of any of the persons identified in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v), in any transaction since January 1, 2021 or in any proposed transaction which has materially affected or would materially affect the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

Please note that not all information relating to such types of material interests is reasonably within the power of Management to obtain since such information is only available to the Board and management of Snow Lake.

3.6 Waiver of Notice.  A director may in any manner or at any time waive notice of or otherwise consent to a meeting of the board including by sending an electronic document to that effect.  Attendance of a director at a meeting of the board shall constitute a waiver of notice of that meeting except where a director attends for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting has not been properly called.

3.7 First Meeting of New Board.  If a quorum of directors is present, each newly elected board may without notice hold its first meeting immediately following the meeting of shareholders at which such board is elected.

SECTION FOUR
COMMITTEES

4.1 Committee of Directors.  The board may appoint from their number one or more committees of the board, however designated, and delegate to such committee any of the powers of the board except those which, under the Act, a committee of the board has no authority to exercise.

4.3 Procedure.  Unless otherwise determined by the board, each committee shall have the power to fix its quorum at not less than a majority of its members, to elect its chair and to regulate its procedure.  To the extent that the board or the committee does not establish rules to regulate the procedure of the committee, the provisions of this by-law applicable to meetings of the board shall apply mutatis mutandis.

7.9 Chair, Secretary and Scrutineers.  The chair of any meeting of shareholders shall be the first mentioned of such of the following officers as have been appointed and who is present at the meeting: chair of the board, chief executive officer, president, or a vice-president who is a shareholder.  If no such officer is present within 15 minutes from the time fixed for holding the meeting, the persons present and entitled to vote shall choose one of their number to be chair.  If the secretary of the Corporation is absent, the chair shall appoint some person, who need not be a shareholder, to act as secretary of the meeting.  If desired, one or more scrutineers, who need not be shareholders, may be appointed by a resolution or by the chair with the consent of the meeting.

7.10 Persons Entitled to be Present.  The only persons entitled to be present at a meeting of the shareholders shall be those entitled to vote at that meeting, the directors and auditor of the Corporation and others who, although not entitled to vote, are entitled or required under any provision of the Act, the articles or the by-laws to be present at the meeting.  Any other person may be admitted only on the invitation of the chair of the meeting or with the consent of the meeting.

7.11 Quorum.  A quorum at any meeting of shareholders (unless a great number of persons are required to be present or a greater number of shares are required by the Act or by the articles or by any other bylaw) shall be two persons in number, representing in the aggregate not less than forty (40%) percent of the shares entitled to be voted at the meeting. If a quorum is present at the opening of any meeting of shareholders, the shareholders present or represented may proceed with the business of the meeting notwithstanding that a quorum is not present throughout the meeting. If a quorum is not present at the opening of the meeting of shareholders, the shareholders present or represented may adjourn the meeting to a fixed time and place but may not transact any other business.

7.12 Right to Vote.  Subject to the provisions of the Act as to authorized representatives of any other body corporate, at any meeting of shareholders in respect of which the Corporation has prepared the list referred to in subsection 7.6, every person who is named in such list shall be entitled to vote the shares shown thereon opposite the name of that person except to the extent that such person has transferred any shares after the date on which the list is prepared or, where a record date has been fixed, after the record date and the transferee, upon producing properly endorsed certificates evidencing such shares or otherwise establishing that the person owns such shares, demands at any time prior to the meeting that the name of that person be included to vote the transferred shares at the meeting.  In the absence of such a list, every person shall be entitled to vote at the meeting who at the time is entered in the securities register as the holder of one or more shares carrying the right to vote at such meeting.

7.13 Proxies.  Every shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders may appoint a proxyholder, or one or more alternate proxyholders, who need not be shareholders, to attend and act at the meeting in the manner and to the extent authorized and with the authority conferred by the proxy.  A proxy shall be in writing executed by the shareholder or the attorney of that shareholder and shall conform with the requirements of the Act.

7.14 Time for Deposit of Proxies.  The board may specify in a notice calling a meeting of shareholders a time, preceding the time of such meeting by not more than 48 hours exclusive of non-business days, before which time proxies to be used at such meeting must be deposited.  A proxy shall be acted upon only if, prior to the time so specified, it shall have been deposited with the Corporation or an agent thereof specified in such notice or, if no such time is specified in such notice, unless it has been received by the secretary of the Corporation or by the chair of the meeting or any adjournment thereof prior to the time of voting.

7.15 Joint Shareholders.  If two or more persons hold shares jointly, any one of them present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting of shareholders may, in the absence of the other or others, vote the shares; but if two or more of those persons are present in person or represented by proxy and vote, they shall vote as one the shares jointly held by them.


7.16 Votes to Govern.  At any meeting of shareholders every question shall, unless otherwise required by law, be determined by the majority of the votes cast on the question.  In the case of an equality of votes either upon a show of hands or upon a ballot, the chair of the meeting shall not be entitled to a second or casting vote.

7.18 Ballots.  On any question proposed for consideration at a meeting of shareholders, and whether or not a show of hands has been taken thereon, any shareholder or proxyholder entitled to vote at the meeting may demand a ballot.  A ballot so demanded shall be taken in such manner as the chair shall direct.  A demand for a ballot may be withdrawn at any time prior to the taking of the ballot.  The result of the ballot so taken shall be the decision of the shareholders upon the question.

(a) where the share or shares are redeemable pursuant to the articles of the Corporation by redeeming such share or shares and applying the redemption price to the debt; (b) subject to the Act, by purchasing the share or shares for cancellation for a price equal to the book value of such share or shares and applying the proceeds to the debt;


(c) by selling the share or shares to any third party whether or not such party is at arm's length to the Corporation, and including, without limitation, any officer or director of the Corporation, for the best price which the directors consider to be obtainable for such share or shares; or

(d) by refusing to register a transfer of such share or shares until the debt is paid.

8.5 Security Certificates.  Share certificates shall, subject to compliance with the Act, be in such form as the board may from time to time by resolution approve and such share certificates shall be signed by any one director or officer of the Corporation.  Where the Corporation has appointed a transfer or a branch transfer agent, the signature of all signatories maybe engraved, lithographed or otherwise mechanically reproduced upon certificates for shares in the capital of the Corporation, and when countersigned by or on behalf of a transfer agent or a branch transfer agent of the Corporation, certificates so signed shall be deemed to have been manually signed by the officer(s) or director(s) of the Corporation whose signature or signatures are so engraved, lithographed or otherwise mechanically reproduced thereon and shall be as valid to all intents and purposes as if they had been manually signed.

8.7 Joint Shareholders.  If two or more persons are registered as joint holders of any security, the Corporation shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate in respect thereof, and delivery of such certificate to one of such persons shall be sufficient delivery to all of them.  Any one of such persons may give effectual receipts for the certificate issued in respect thereof or for any dividend, bonus, return of capital or other money payable or warrant issuable in respect of such security.

8.8 Deceased Security Holders.  Subject to the provisions of subsection 8.9, in the event of the death of a holder of any security, the Corporation shall not be required to make any entry in the securities register in respect thereof or to make payment of any dividends thereon except upon production of all such documents as may be required by law and upon compliance with the reasonable requirements of the Corporation, which reasonable requirements shall, in the discretion of the board, not necessarily include the production of letters probate or letters of administration.

SCHEDULE "D"

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

Amended and Restated - October 20, 2021

Purpose

The overall purpose of the Audit Committee (the "Committee") of SNOW LAKE RESOURCES LTD. (the "Company") represent and assist the Board of Directors (the "Board") in its general oversight of the Company's accounting and financial reporting processes, audits of the financial statements, and internal control and audit functions. Management is responsible for (a) the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Company's financial statements; (b) accounting and financial reporting principles; and (c) the Company's internal controls and procedures designed to promote compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. The Company's independent auditing firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.

The Committee members are not professional accountants or auditors and their functions are not intended to duplicate or to certify the activities of management and the independent auditor. Consequently, it is not the duty of the Committee to conduct audits or to determine that the Company's financial statements and disclosures are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and applicable rules and regulations. These are the responsibilities of management and the independent auditor. The Committee serves a Board level oversight role where it oversees the relationship with the independent auditor, as set forth in this Charter, receives information and provides advice, counsel and general direction, as it deems appropriate, to management and the auditors, taking into account the information it receives, discussions with the auditor, and the experience of the Committee's members in business, financial and accounting matters.

Composition, Procedures and Organization

(1) Membership and Structure. The Committee shall consist of at least three directors.

(2) Qualifications. All Committee members shall meet all applicable independence requirements of the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market and any successor thereto ("Nasdaq") and of Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), subject to the exemptions provided in Rule 10A-3(c) under the Exchange Act, and other applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. Additionally, after listing on Nasdaq, no member of the Committee shall have participated in the preparation of the financial statements of the Company or any current subsidiary of the Company at any time during the preceding three (3) years. All members of the Committee must be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement.
