NOTICE AND ACCESS NOTIFICATION TO SHAREHOLDERS
NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
You are receiving this notification as Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (the "Company") has decided to use the notice and access model ("Notice and Access") provided for under recent amendments to National Instrument 54-101 - Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer for the delivery of meeting materials to its shareholders for its annual general meeting of shareholders to be held on Thursday, February 20, 2020 (the "Meeting").  Under Notice and Access, instead of receiving printed copies of the Company's management information circular (the "Information Circular"), financial statements for the financial year ended August 31, 2019 and management's discussion and analysis (collectively, the "Meeting Materials"), shareholders are receiving this notice with information on how they may access such Meeting Materials electronically.  However, together with this notice, shareholders continue to receive a proxy (in the case of registered shareholders) or a voting instruction form (in the case of non-registered shareholders), enabling them to vote at the Meeting.  The Company has adopted this alternative means of delivery in order to further its commitment to environmental sustainability and to reduce its printing and mailing costs.  This notice serves as a notice of meeting under section 169 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).
Meeting Date, Location and Purposes
The Meeting will be held on Thursday, February 20, 2020 ("Meeting Date") at 11:00 a.m. (Pacific time) at Suite 838 - 1100 Melville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, for the following purposes:
1.
 
to receive the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended August 31, 2019 (with comparative statements relating to the preceding financial year) together with the report of the auditors thereon;
2.
 
to elect the directors;
3.
 
to appoint the auditors and to authorize the directors to fix their remuneration; 
4.
 
to approve an amendment to the Company's share compensation plan, as more particularly described in the accompanying Information Circular;
5.
 
if the amendment to the Company's share compensation plan in the preceding item is not approved by the shareholders at the Meeting, to re-approve the Company's existing share compensation plan without any amendment, as required every three years by the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"), as more particularly described in the accompanying Information Circular and
6.
 
to transact such further or other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment or adjournments thereof.
For detailed information with respect to each of the above matters, please refer to the item bearing the corresponding title in the Information Circular.

- iv -
The Company urges shareholders to review the Information Circular before voting.
Accessing Meeting Materials Online
The Meeting Materials (and the financial statement request card) can be viewed online under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, or the Company's website: http://www.platinumgroupmetals.net/investor-relations/agm_2020/.
Accompanying this notice are the Information Circular, a form of Proxy (the "Proxy") or voting information form ("VIF"), and a financial statement request form ("Request Form").  The Information Circular provides additional information relating to the matters to be addressed at the Meeting and is incorporated by reference into this notice.
Requesting Printed Meeting Materials
Any registered shareholder who wishes to receive a paper copy of the Information Circular prior to the date of the Meeting should contact the Company at 1-866-899-5450.  Any Canadian or US beneficial holder who wishes to receive a paper copy of the Information Circular prior to the date of the Meeting should contact Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Canada at 1-877-907-7643.  To obtain additional information about the Notice and Access provisions, or to obtain a paper copy of the Information Circular after the date of the Meeting, please contact Frank R. Hallam, the Corporate Secretary of the Company, at 1-866-899-5450.
Stratification
The Company has determined that those registered and beneficial shareholders with existing instructions on their account to receive printed materials and those registered and beneficial shareholders with addresses outside of Canada and the United States will receive printed copies of the Meeting Materials with this notice.
Voting Process
Registered Shareholders at the close of business on January 2, 2020 may vote in person at the Meeting or by proxy as follows:
By telephone: Call the toll-free number indicated on the proxy form and follow the instructions.  If you choose to vote by telephone, you cannot appoint any person other than the officers named on the form of Proxy as your proxy holder.
On the internet:  Go to the website indicated on the proxy form and follow the instructions on the screen.  If you return your proxy via the internet, you can appoint another person, who need not be a shareholder, to represent you at the Meeting by inserting such person's name in the blank space provided in the form of Proxy. Complete your voting instructions and date and sign the Proxy.  Make sure that the person you appoint is aware that he or she has been appointed and attends the Meeting.
By mail:  Complete the form of Proxy and return it in the envelope provided.  If you return your Proxy by mail, you can appoint another person, who need not be a shareholder, to represent you at the Meeting by inserting such person's name in the blank space provided in the form of Proxy.    Complete your voting instructions and date and sign the Proxy.  Make sure that the person you appoint is aware that he or she has been appointed and attends the Meeting.

PART I - VOTING INFORMATION
SOLICITATION OF PROXIES
Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (the "Company") is providing this Information Circular in connection with the management's solicitation of proxies for use at the annual general meeting of the Company (and any adjournment thereof) to be held on Thursday, February 20, 2020 at the place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice of meeting (the "Notice of Meeting").  Unless the context otherwise requires, when we refer in this Information Circular to the Company, its subsidiaries are also included.
The solicitation of Proxies will be primarily by mail, but Proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone by directors, officers and regular employees of the Company at nominal cost.  In accordance with National Instrument 54-101 - Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of Reporting Issuers ("NI 54-101"), arrangements have been made with brokerage houses and other intermediaries, clearing agencies, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of common shares in the capital of the Company (the "Common Shares") held of record by such persons and the Company may reimburse such persons for reasonable fees and disbursements incurred by them in so doing.  All costs of solicitation by management will be borne by the Company. 
The Company has given notice of the Meeting in accordance with the Notice and Access provisions set out in NI 54-101, pursuant to which it has sent the Notice of Meeting, Proxy and/or voting information form ("VIF") and a Request Form but not this Information Circular, directly to its registered shareholders ("Registered Shareholders") and its beneficial shareholders ("Beneficial Shareholders").
The contents and the sending of this Information Circular have been approved by the directors of the Company.  The Company reports in United States dollars; however, all references in this Information Circular to "$" or "dollars" in this Information Circular refer to Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.  References to "US$" or "U.S. dollars" are used to indicate United States dollar values.
APPOINTMENT OF PROXYHOLDER
The individuals named as proxyholders in the accompanying form of Proxy are the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively, of the Company (collectively, "Management's Nominees").  A SHAREHOLDER WISHING TO APPOINT SOME OTHER PERSON OR COMPANY (WHO NEED NOT BE A SHAREHOLDER) TO REPRESENT THE SHAREHOLDER AT THE MEETING HAS THE RIGHT TO DO SO, EITHER BY STRIKING OUT THE NAMES OF MANAGEMENT'S NOMINEES NAMED IN THE ACCOMPANYING FORM OF PROXY AND INSERTING THE DESIRED PERSON'S OR COMPANY'S NAME IN THE BLANK SPACE PROVIDED IN THE FORM OF PROXY.  A proxy will not be valid unless the completed form of Proxy is received by Computershare Investor Services Inc. ("Computershare"), Proxy Dept., 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1 on or before 11:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on Tuesday, February 18, 2020 (the second business day before the date of the Meeting), being 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time set for holding the Meeting.  Proxies delivered after that time will not be accepted.  However, the deadline for the deposit of proxies may be waived by the chairman of the Meeting at his sole discretion without notice.
REVOCATION OF PROXIES
A shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it by an instrument in writing executed by the shareholder or by his attorney duly authorized in writing or, where the shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the corporation, and delivered to the registered office of the Company, at Suite 2300, 550 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2B5 (Attention: Daniel M. Allen) at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or if adjourned, any reconvening thereof, or to the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or, if adjourned, any reconvening thereof, or in any other manner provided by law.  A revocation of a proxy does not affect any matter on which a vote has been taken prior to the revocation.

4
INFORMATION FOR NON-REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS
Only Registered Shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting.  Most shareholders of the Company are "non-registered" shareholders because the Common Shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the names of a brokerage firm, bank or other intermediary or in the name of a clearing agency.  Shareholders who do not hold their Common Shares in their own name (referred to herein as "Beneficial Shareholders") should note that only registered shareholders may vote at the Meeting.  If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those Common Shares will not be registered in such shareholder's name on the records of the Company.  Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the shareholder's broker or an agent of that broker.  In Canada, the vast majority of such Common Shares are registered under the name of CDS Inc. (the registration name for CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms).  Common Shares held by brokers (or their agents or nominees) on behalf of a broker's client can only be voted (for or against resolutions) at the direction of the Beneficial Shareholder.  Without specific instructions, brokers and their agents and nominees are prohibited from voting Common Shares for the brokers' clients.  Therefore, each Beneficial Shareholder should ensure that voting instructions are communicated to the appropriate person well in advance of the Meeting.
Existing regulatory policy requires brokers and other intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholders' meetings.  The various brokers and other intermediaries have their own mailing procedures and provide their own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the Meeting.  Often the form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker is identical to the form of Proxy provided by the Company to the registered shareholders.  However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered shareholder (i.e., the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder.  The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge").  Broadridge typically prepares a machine-readable voting instruction form, mails those forms to the Beneficial Shareholders and asks Beneficial Shareholders to return the forms to Broadridge, or otherwise communicate voting instructions to Broadridge (e.g., by way of the internet or telephone).  Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares to be represented at the Meeting.  A Beneficial Shareholder who receives a Broadridge voting instruction form cannot use that form to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting.  The voting instruction form must be returned to Broadridge (or instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares must be communicated to Broadridge) well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted.
Beneficial Shareholders fall into two categories - those who object to their identity being known to the issuers of securities which they own ("Objecting Beneficial Owners" or "OBOs") and those who do not object to their identity being made known to the issuers of the securities they own ("Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners" or "NOBOs").  Subject to the provisions of NI 54-101, issuers may request and obtain a list of their NOBOs from intermediaries via their transfer agents.
The Company may utilize the Broadridge QuickVote™ service to assist NOBOs with voting their Common Shares.
This Information Circular and accompanying materials are being sent to both registered shareholders and Beneficial Shareholders.  If you are a Beneficial Shareholder, and the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name, address and information about your holdings of securities have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding the Common Shares on your behalf.
The Company has adopted the Notice and Access procedure described in NI 54-101 and National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations ("NI 51-102") to distribute its proxy-related materials to the Registered and Beneficial Shareholders.  In addition, the Company has not elected to pay to distribute its Meeting Materials to the OBOs.

5
The Beneficial Shareholders can expect to receive voting information by Broadridge or their brokers or their broker's agents as set out above.  The Company will reimburse intermediaries for permitted reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by them in mailing proxy materials to Beneficial Shareholders.
Although Beneficial Shareholders may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Common Shares registered in the name of their brokers, a Beneficial Shareholder may attend the Meeting as proxyholder for the registered shareholder and vote the Common Shares in that capacity.  Beneficial Shareholders who wish to attend the Meeting and indirectly vote their Common Shares as proxyholder for the registered shareholder should enter their own names in the blank space on the proxy provided to them and return the same to their broker (or the broker's agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker.
All references to shareholders in this Information Circular and the accompanying form of Proxy and Notice of Meeting are to Registered Shareholders unless specifically stated otherwise.
VOTING OF PROXIES
The Common Shares represented by a properly executed proxy in favour of persons designated as proxyholders in the enclosed form of Proxy will:
1.
 
be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder appointing the proxyholder on any ballot that may be called for; and
2.
 
where a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon has been specified in the form of Proxy, be voted in accordance with the specification made in such proxy.
ON A POLL, SUCH COMMON SHARES WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOUR OF EACH MATTER FOR WHICH NO CHOICE HAS BEEN SPECIFIED OR WHERE BOTH CHOICES HAVE BEEN SPECIFIED BY THE SHAREHOLDER.
The enclosed form of Proxy, when properly completed and delivered and not revoked, confers discretionary authority upon the person appointed proxyholder thereunder to vote with respect to amendments or variations of matters identified in the Notice of Meeting, and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting.  In the event that amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting are properly brought before the Meeting or any further or other business is properly brought before the Meeting, it is the intention of Management's Nominees to vote in accordance with their best judgment on such matters or business.  At the time of the printing of this Information Circular, management of the Company knows of no such amendment, variation or other matter which may be presented to the Meeting.

On January 13, 2015, the Board adopted a majority voting policy, as amended on February 18, 2015 (the "Policy").  The Policy requires that any nominee for director who receives a greater number of votes "withheld" than votes "for" his or her election will be required to tender an offer to resign (a "Resignation Offer").  The Policy applies only to uncontested elections, which are elections of directors where the number of nominees for election as director is equal to the number of directors to be elected at such meeting.  Following a tender of a Resignation Offer, the Governance and Nomination Committee will consider the Resignation Offer and will recommend to the Board whether or not to accept or reject the Resignation Offer or to propose alternative actions.  The Governance and Nomination Committee will be expected to recommend accepting the Resignation Offer, except in situations where extraordinary circumstances would warrant the applicable director to continue to serve on the Board.  Within 90 days following the applicable annual general meeting, the Board will make a determination of the action to take with respect to the Resignation Offer and will promptly disclose by news release its decision to accept or reject the director's Resignation Offer or to propose alternative actions as referenced in the Policy.  If the Board has decided to reject the Resignation Offer or to pursue any alternative action other than accepting the Resignation Offer, then the Board will disclose in the news release its reasons for doing so.  The applicable director will not participate in either the Governance and Nomination Committee or Board deliberations on his or her Resignation Offer.

APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS
Unless such authority is withheld, the person named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote for the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Chartered Accountants of Suite 700, 250 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3S7, as auditors of the Company to hold office for the ensuing year at a remuneration to be fixed by the directors.
APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE SHARE COMPENSATION PLAN
The Company implemented the Share Compensation Plan which was previously approved by the shareholders at the annual general meeting held on February 23, 2017.  Subsection 2.2(e) of the Share Compensation Plan provides that the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to participants under Share Compensation Plan who are non-employee directors ("NEDs") pursuant to stock options shall be limited to the lesser of: (i) 0.25% of the Common Shares then issued and outstanding (the "NED Participation Percentage Limit"); and (ii) $1,000,000 in total value of grants of Options that each director receives over the life of the Share Compensation Plan from its effective date or an annual grant value of $100,000 per director, in both cases based on a valuation determined using the Black-Scholes formula or any other formula which is widely accepted by the business community as a method for the valuation of options. The NED Participation Percentage Limit was incorporated by the Company into the Share Compensation Plan based on a variety of factors prevailing at the time the Share Compensation Plan was implemented, including the size of the Company and the benchmark policy recommendations published by proxy advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services ("ISS") with respect to NED participation in equity compensation plans. Given the change in the current size of the Company, the Company's most recent share consolidation and the current policy recommendations of ISS, the Board and the Compensation Committee believe it is in the best in Participation Percentage Limit by increasing same from 0.25% to 1.0%.
As such, at the Meeting, the shareholders will be asked to pass an ordinary resolution approving an amendment to the Share Compensation Plan (the "Plan Amendment Resolution"), such resolution to be substantially in the following form:
"BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that:
(a)
 
subsection 2.2(e) of the Company's share compensation plan be amended and replaced in its entirety with the following:
"(e) The number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to Participants who are non-employee directors pursuant to Options shall be limited to the lesser of: (i) 1.0% of the Common Shares then issued and outstanding; and (ii) $1,000,000 in total value of grants of Options that each director receives over the life of the Plan from the Effective Date or an annual grant value of $100,000 per director, in both cases based on a valuation determined using the Black-Scholes formula or any other formula which is widely accepted by the business community as a method for the valuation of options."
(b)
 
all unallocated options and restricted share units ("RSUs") under the Company's Share Compensation Plan, as amended above (the "Amended Plan"), be and are hereby approved;
(c)
 
the Company has the ability to continue granting options and awarding RSUs under the Amended Plan, until February 20, 2023, a date that is three (3) years from the date when shareholder approval is being sought; and
(d)
 
any director or officer of the Company be and is hereby authorized to do such things and to sign, execute and deliver all documents  that such director or officer may, in his or her discretion, determine to be necessary in order to give full effect to the intent and purpose of this resolution."
A summary description of the Amended Plan is provided below under the heading "Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans" and, as well, above.  The Amended Plan will continue to be a rolling 10% plan under TSX policies and the maximum aggregate number of Common Shares available for issuance under the Amended Plan at any time is 10% of the outstanding Common Shares, less any Common Shares reserved for issuance under share compensation arrangements other than the Amended Plan.  A copy of the Amended Plan will be available for viewing up to the date of the Meeting at the Company's offices at Suite 838 - 1100 Melville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 4A6 and at the Meeting.  In addition, a copy of the Amended Plan will be mailed free of charge, to any holder of Common Shares who requests a copy from the Secretary of the Company.  Any such requests should be mailed to the Company, at its head office, to the attention of the Secretary.

10
Unless otherwise directed, the persons named in the enclosed Proxy intend to vote for the approval of the Plan Amendment Resolution.
RE-APPROVAL OF SHARE COMPENSATION PLAN
Per the requirements of the TSX, the Company is required to obtain shareholder approval of the Share Compensation Plan every three years.  If the Plan Amendment Resolution substantially in the form in the preceding section is not approved by shareholders at the Meeting, the shareholders will instead be asked to pass an ordinary resolution re-approving the Share Compensation Plan in its current form, such resolution to be substantially in the following form:
"BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that:
(a)
 
all unallocated options and restricted share units ("RSUs") under the Company's share compensation plan (the "Share Compensation Plan") be and are hereby approved;
(b)
 
the Company have the ability to continue granting options and awarding RSUs under the Share Compensation Plan, until February 20, 2023, a date that is three (3) years from the date where shareholder approval is being sought; and
(c)
 
any director or officer of the Company be and is hereby authorized to do such things and to sign, execute and deliver all documents  that such director or officer may, in his or her discretion, determine to be necessary in order to give full effect to the intent and purpose of this resolution."
In the event the shareholders do not approve the Plan Amendment Resolution or re-approve the Share Compensation Plan:
·	the existing options and RSUs will continue unaffected until the expiry date or date of cessation as set out in the respective option agreements or restricted share unit agreements;
·	no new options or RSUs may be granted or awarded; and
·	previously granted options and awarded RSUs, that are cancelled prior to exercise or if they expire unexercised will not be available for re-grant.
A summary description of the Share Compensation Plan is provided below under the heading "Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans".  The Share Compensation Plan is a rolling 10% plan under TSX policies and the maximum aggregate number of Common Shares available for issuance under the Share Compensation Plan at any time is 10% of the outstanding Common Shares, less any Common Shares reserved for issuance under share compensation arrangements other than the Share Compensation Plan.  A copy of the Share Compensation Plan will be available for viewing up to the date of the Meeting at the Company's offices at Suite 838 - 1100 Melville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 4A6 and at the Meeting.  In addition, a copy of the Share Compensation Plan will be mailed free of charge, to any holder of Common Shares who requests a copy from the Secretary of the Company.  Any such requests should be mailed to the Company, at its head office, to the attention of the Secretary.

11
Unless otherwise directed, the persons named in the enclosed Proxy intend to vote for the re approval of the Share Compensation Plan.
PART III - DISCLOSURE OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES
Effective June 30, 2005, National Instrument 58-101 - Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices ("NI 58-101") was adopted in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. NI 58-101 requires issuers to disclose the corporate governance practices that they have adopted.  The corporate governance practices adopted by the Company are set out in Schedule "A" attached to this Information Circular.
PART IV - STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
For the purposes of this Information Circular, a Named Executive Officer ("NEO") of the Company means each of the following individuals:
(a)
 
the chief executive officer ("CEO") of the Company;
(b)
 
the chief financial officer ("CFO") of the Company;
(c)
 
each of the Company's three most highly compensated executive officers of the Company, including any of its subsidiaries, or the three most highly compensated individuals acting in a similar capacity, other than the CEO and CFO, at August 31, 2019 whose total compensation was, individually, more than $150,000, as determined in accordance with subsection 1.3(6) of Form 51-102F6 - Statement of Executive Compensation, for that financial year; and
(d)
 
each individual who would be a NEO under paragraph (c) above but for the fact that the individual was neither an executive officer of the Company or its subsidiaries, nor acting in a similar capacity, at August 31, 2019.
During the financial year ended August 31, 2019 the Company had four NEOs: R. Michael Jones, the President and CEO of the Company; Frank R. Hallam, the CFO and Corporate Secretary of the Company; Kresimir (Kris) Begic, Vice-President Corporate Development; and Mlibo Mgudlwa, VP of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Platinum Group Metals (RSA) (Pty) Ltd.  Mr. Begic and Mr. Mgudlwa are not executive officers (as that term is defined under National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations) but constitute NEOs based on paragraph (d) above.
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The Compensation Committee is responsible for ensuring that the Company has in place an appropriate plan for executive compensation and for making recommendations to the Board with respect to the compensation of the Company's officers.  The Compensation Committee ensures that total compensation paid to all active NEOs is fair and reasonable and is consistent with the Company's compensation philosophy.  The Compensation Committee is comprised of Diana J. Walters (Chair), Iain D.C. McLean and Timothy Marlow, all of whom are independent directors of the Company. 
The Company does not generate operating cash flow and relies on equity and debt financings to fund its exploration and corporate activities.  Therefore, as the Company seeks to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled and experienced NEOs, it must at the same time consider current market and industry circumstances and the Company's liquidity and ability to raise further capital.
The mineral exploration and development industry is extremely competitive and active for officers and other employees.  Since 2008 the global economic environment has been unstable, resulting in a volatile equity market.  Variable commodities market conditions and associated long term market uncertainties since 2011 have had an impact on executive compensation decisions made during the financial years ended August 31, 2015 to 2019.  The Compensation Discussion and Analysis that follows outlines the Company's executive compensation components and philosophies, which at times, was tempered by the Company's desire to preserve capital in light of uncertain economic circumstances.

12
Officer Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
The Company's principal goal is to create value for its shareholders.  The Company's compensation philosophy reflects this goal, and is based on the following fundamental principles:
(a)
 
Compensation programs align with shareholder interests - the Company aligns the goals of officers with maximizing long-term shareholder value;
(b)
 
Performance sensitive - compensation for officers should be linked to operating and market performance of the Company and fluctuate with the performance; and
(c)
 
Offer market competitive compensation to attract and retain talent - the compensation program should provide market competitive pay in terms of value and structure in order to retain existing employees who are performing according to their objectives and to attract new individuals of the highest caliber.
The Company does not have a formal compensation program with set benchmarks; however, the Company does have an informal program designed to encourage, compensate and reward employees on the basis of individual and corporate performance, including but not limited to the Common Share price, both in the short and the long term, and to align the interests of officers with the interest of the Company's shareholders.  This alignment of interests is achieved by making long term equity-based incentives through the granting of stock options, a significant component of executive compensation (on the assumption that the performance of the Common Share price over the long term is an important indicator of long term performance).
The objectives of the compensation program in compensating the active NEOs are derived from the above-mentioned compensation philosophy and are as follows: to attract, motivate and retain highly skilled and experienced officers; to align the interests of officers with shareholders' interests and with the execution of the Company business strategy; and to tie compensation directly to those measurements and rewards based on achieving and exceeding performance expectations.
The Compensation Committee has not formally considered the implications of the risks associated with the Company's compensation policies and practices.  Notwithstanding this, risk management is a consideration of the Compensation Committee when implementing its compensation policies and the Compensation Committee does not believe that the Company's compensation policies and practices result in unnecessary or inappropriate risk taking, including risks that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Competitive Compensation
The Company is dependent on individuals with specialized skills and knowledge related to the exploration for and development of mineral prospects, corporate finance and management.  Therefore, the Company seeks to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled and experienced officers by providing competitive compensation. The Compensation Committee reviews data related to compensation levels and programs of various companies that are similar in size to the Company and operate within the mining exploration and development industry, prior to making its recommendations to the Board.  These other companies are identified below in the section following the table under the heading entitled "Executive Compensation - Related Fees".  The Compensation Committee also relies on the experience of its members as officers and/or directors of other companies in similar lines of business as the Company in assessing compensation levels. 
The purpose of this process is to:

13
·	understand the competitiveness of current pay levels for each executive position relative to companies with similar revenues and business characteristics;
·	identify and understand any gaps that may exist between actual compensation levels and market compensation levels; and
·	establish as a basis for developing salary adjustments and short-term and long-term incentive awards for the Compensation Committee's approval and recommendation to the Board.
Elements of Officer Compensation
A combination of fixed and variable compensation is used to motivate officers to achieve overall corporate goals.  For the financial year ended August 31, 2019, the three basic components of officer compensation were:
·	base salary;
·	annual incentives (cash bonus); and
·	share and option based awards (long-term compensation).
Base salary comprises the portion of executive compensation that is fixed, whereas annual incentives and share and option based compensation represent compensation that is "at risk" and thus may or may not be paid to the respective officer depending on: whether the officer is able to meet or exceed his or her applicable performance expectations; market performance of the Common Shares; and the Company's liquidity and ability to raise further capital in the prevailing economic environment.
No specific formulae have been developed to assign a specific weighting to each of these components.  Instead, the Compensation Committee reviews each element of compensation for market competitiveness, and it may weigh a particular element more heavily based on the officer's role and responsibilities within the Company.  The focus is on remaining competitive in the market with respect to "total compensation" as opposed to within any one component of executive compensation.
The members of the Compensation Committee have direct experience with officer compensation which enables them to make decisions on the suitability of the Company's compensation policies.  Diana J. Walters has extensive business experience in the natural resources sector, both as a private equity investor and in operating and directorship roles.  Iain D.C. McLean has extensive business experience in mine operations and senior management positions in publicly listed and private technology companies and Timothy Marlow served as a director of other publicly listed mining company in addition to being a director of the Company since 2011.  Collectively, the Compensation Committee is aware of the market compensation levels and can provide guidance on the policies required to ensure the Company has appropriate compensation policies in place.
The Compensation Committee reviews on an annual basis the cash compensation, performance and overall compensation package of each active NEO.  It then submits to the Board recommendations with respect to base salary adjustments, bonuses and participation in share and option based compensation arrangements for each NEO.
Base salary is targeted to be competitive in the marketplace in order to attract and retain qualified individuals to the Company and then typically serves as the foundation for determining annual and long-term incentive plan amounts.  The actual amount of annual incentive is decided based on individual performance and the discretion of the Compensation Committee.  Long-term compensation is targeted to be competitive in the marketplace but is positioned in such a way as to have significant pay at risk and be dependent upon the long-term success of the Company.
Base Salary
The Compensation Committee and the Board approve the salary ranges for the active NEOs.  Base salaries are set with the goal of being competitive with corporations of a comparable size and at the same stage of development, thereby enabling the Company to compete for and retain NEOs critical to the Company's long-term success.  In determining the base salary of a NEO, the Compensation Committee places equal weight on the following criteria:

14
·	the particular responsibilities related to the position;
·	salaries paid by comparable businesses;
·	the experience level of the officer; and
·	his or her overall performance or expected performance (in the case of a newly hired officer).
The Compensation Committee assesses these criteria, and using this information together with budgetary guidelines and other internally generated planning and forecasting tools, performs an annual assessment of the compensation of all officers' and employees' compensation levels. 
In assessing levels of compensation during the financial year ended 2019, the Compensation Committee considered qualitative elements to reflect overall market conditions, past market practices as well as a discretionary assessment of NEO performance.  Although NEO's met the majority of performance milestones in 2019, based on the Company's 2019 business objectives, the Compensation Committee recommended not to alter the base salary for any active NEO for fiscal 2020 or to materially alter the Share Compensation Plan.
Since the Company's most recently completed financial year, the Company has not retained any compensation consultant or advisor to assist the board of directors or the Compensation Committee in determining compensation for any of the Company's directors or executive officers.
The Compensation Committee has considered the following benchmark group of companies to determine and review the levels of compensation to be awarded to the NEOs during the financial year ending August 31, 2020:

·	MAG Silver Corp.
·	Nemaska Lithium Inc.
·	Continental Gold Inc.
·	Lithium Americas Corp.
·	SolGold plc	·	Silvercrest Metals Inc.
·	Sabina Gold & Silver Corp.
·	NexGen Energy Ltd.
·	Trilogy Metals Inc.
·	Northern Dynasty Minerals, Ltd.	·	Gabriel Resources Ltd.
·	Orezone Gold Corp.
·	Belo Sun Mining Corp.
·	Rubicon Minerals Corp.
·	PolyMet Mining Corp.	
This benchmark group of companies has been selected based on the stage of development of the company, market capitalization and measured and indicated resources of the companies' properties.  The Compensation Committee will use this benchmark group data to ensure that compensation levels are sufficient and competitive without exceeding average compensation for companies of the same size and stage during the financial year ending 2020.
During the financial year ended August 31, 2019, approximately: $525,000 (2018 - $525,000) was paid as base fees to the Company's President/CEO; $475,000 (2018 - $475,000) was paid as base salary for the Company's CFO; $230,000 (2018 - $230,000) was paid as a base salary for the Company's VP Corporate Development; and $230,000 (2018 - $234,212) was paid as a base salary for the VP Platinum Group Metals (RSA) (Pty) Ltd.  Employee salaries are based on fair market value and individual performance assessed by management.  Incentives and options are considered separately from base salary.
Annual Incentives (Cash Bonus)
Officers are eligible for an annual discretionary bonus, payable in cash.  The Board approves such annual incentives, relying heavily on the recommendations of the Compensation Committee in granting them.  The Compensation Committee assesses each active NEO's performance and his or her respective contribution to the Company's success, and after considering the financial and operating performance of the Company, makes a recommendation to the Board.  Competitive levels of base salary, comparisons and share and option based awards are considered when setting incentives.  Overall compensation is considered as a whole including annual incentives.  For the CEO and COO, safety is also a consideration for bonus compensation. 

15
Although most performance milestones in the Company's 2019 business plan were met by NEOs during the financial year ended August 31, 2019, following the financial year ended August 31, 2019 and as at the date of this Information Circular, the Compensation Committee has determined that no cash bonus amounts will be paid to NEOs in respect of the financial year ended August 31, 2019 due to general market conditions for the Common Shares.
Long Term Compensation (Option Based and Share Based Awards)
The Compensation Committee believes that it is important to award incentive stock options and RSUs (as defined below) as part of an overall compensation package.  Encouraging its officers and employees to become shareholders of the Company is, in the Compensation Committee's view, the best way to align their interests with those of the Company's shareholders.
Equity participation is accomplished through the Company's share compensation plan (the "Share Compensation Plan"), which is designed to give each option holder an interest in preserving and maximizing shareholder value in the longer term, to enable the Company to attract and retain individuals with experience and ability, and to reward individuals for current performance and expected future performance.  Internal experience of the Compensation Committee and Board is used with respect to option levels and comparisons are made to similar companies at the same stage of development in the mining industry.
The Compensation Committee considers stock option grants and RSUs awards when reviewing NEO compensation packages as a whole.  Stock options granted and RSUs awarded to NEOs during the most recently completed financial year are disclosed below under the heading "Summary Compensation Table".
Purchase of Financial Instruments
NEOs and directors are not permitted to purchase financial instruments, including for greater certainty, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars or units of exchange funds that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the NEO or director.
Performance Graph
The following chart compares the total cumulative shareholder return on $100 invested in the Common Shares on September 1, 2014 with the cumulative total returns of the S&P/TSX Composite Index and the S&P/TSX Global Mining Index for the five most recently completed financial years.

 	01-Sep-14	01-Sep-15	01-Sep-16	01-Sep-17	01-Sep-18	01-Sep-19	
Platinum Group Metals Ltd.	100	31	32	7	1	2

S&P/TSX Global Mining Index	100	63	82	94	90	110	
As shown in the foregoing graph, the Company's performance has been below the performance of the S&P/TSX Composite Index and S&P/TSX Global Mining Index.  Market conditions over the past several years have been volatile and have particularly impacted the junior mining sector.  Market conditions and associated long term market uncertainties have an impact on officer compensation decisions; however, the Compensation Committee also considers the performance of the officers and the achievement of milestones.  The Company's officers have achieved many planned milestones, notwithstanding market conditions.
During the 2015 calendar year, at the Maseve Mine, the Company completed all required permitting, advanced underground development and substantially completed construction, commenced with preparations for production and completed US$80 million in debt financing.  At the Waterberg Project the Company completed an amendment to the existing joint venture arrangement in May 2015 to consolidate the ownership of the project, achieving US$20 million in partner funding as a component of the deal.  A new, larger resource estimate was completed at Waterberg in July 2015. 
During the 2016 calendar year, at the Maseve Mine, the Company completed construction of surface infrastructure and plant commissioning, however production ramp up had been behind schedule.  At the Waterberg Project, the Company completed a positive pre-feasibility study in October 2016 and a new, larger resource estimate in April 2016.  The Company completed a public offering of 11.0 million pre-Share Consolidation Common Shares for gross proceeds of US$33.0 million in May 2016 and a public offering of 22.2 million pre-Share Consolidation Common Shares for gross proceeds of approximately US$40.0 million in November 2016.
During the 2017 calendar year, based on sub-optimal performance at the Maseve Mine, the Company undertook in September 2017 to exit conventional platinum mining by agreeing to sell its position in the Maseve Mine in a transaction valued at approximately US$74.0 million.  The Company also closed a transaction in November 2017 to sell an 8.6% interest in the Waterberg Project for US$17.2 million to Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd. ("Implats"), an integrated South African producer of platinum group metals ("PGMs").  Implats was also granted an option to earn and acquire up to a 50.01% interest in the Waterberg Project from the Company and another joint venture partner.  At the Waterberg Project, the Company initiated a definitive feasibility study targeting a large, thick PGM resource with the objective to model a large-scale, fully-mechanized mine.  The Company completed a public offering of 19.7 million pre-Share Consolidation Common Shares for gross proceeds of US$28.75 million in January 2017, a public offering of 15.4 million Common Shares for gross proceeds of US$20 million in April 2017 and issued and sold US$20 million of 6 7/8% convertible senior subordinated notes to certain institutional investors in June 2017.

During the 2018 calendar year, the Company refocussed its efforts towards advancement of the Waterberg Project along with joint venture partners Implats, the Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation and Mnombo Wethu Consultants (Pty) Ltd.  At the Waterberg Project the Company completed a successful drill program and in September 2018 filed a Mining Right Application with the Government of South Africa.  In October 2018, the Company published an updated, larger, higher confidence resource estimate for the Waterberg Project for inclusion in a definitive feasibility study to be completed in calendar 2019.  In April 2018, the Company completed the sale of its interests in the Maseve Mine.  In May 2018, the Company completed a private placement offering of 15.1 million pre-Share Consolidation units for gross proceeds of US$2.26 million and a public offering of 117.5 million pre-Share Consolidation units for gross proceeds of US$17.62 million.  Each private and public unit was comprised of one pre-Share Consolidation Common Share and one pre-Share Consolidation Common Share purchase warrant exercisable at a price of US$0.17 per share until November 15, 2019.  During the calendar year, the Company paid US$46.98 million in settlement of all indebtedness under a first secured loan facility provided by a group of lenders led by the Sprott Resource Lending Partnership and also repaid US$23.16 million in settlement of the production payment liability (US$15 million) and partial settlement of a second secured loan facility (US$8.16 million), both due to Liberty Metals & Mining Holdings, LLC.
During the 2019 calendar year, the Company achieved significant advancement corporately and on the Waterberg Project.  On December 19, 2019 the Company announced the closing of a non-brokered private placement of 3,225,807 Common Shares for gross proceeds of US$4.0 million.  On September 24, 2019 the Company and its joint venture partners announced the positive results of a definitive feasibility study for the Waterberg Project, including an updated mineral resource assessment.  On August 21, 2019 the Company closed a bought deal public offering of 8,326,957 Common Shares for gross proceeds of approximately US$10.4 million. In addition, the Company closed a private placement sale of 7,575,758 Common Shares for gross proceeds of US$10.0 million and a private placement sale of 6,940,000 Common Shares to Deepkloof for gross proceeds of approximately US$9.2 million.  The Company used a portion of the US$29.6 million in gross proceeds from the share sales described above together with a US$20.0 million advance under a new secured loan facility to fully repay US$43.0 million in outstanding principal and accrued interest due under a secured loan facility with Liberty Metals & Mining Holdings, LLC.  On June 28, 2019 the Company announced the closing of a non-brokered private placement with Deepkloof of 1,111,111 Common Shares for gross proceeds of US$1.3 million.  On February 4, 2019 the Company announced the closing of a non-brokered private placement of 3,124,059 Common Shares for gross proceeds to the Company of US $4.155 million.
From September 1, 2014 to August 31, 2019, the share price of the Company has decreased by approximately 99% compared to an increase in the S&P/TSX Composite Index of approximately 22% and an increase in the S&P/TSX Global Mining Index of approximately 10% during the corresponding period. 
Share-Based and Option-Based Awards
It is generally recognized that share and option based awards aid in attracting, retaining and encouraging individuals due to the opportunity offered to them to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company. 
In February 2017, the Company adopted a Share Compensation Plan to provide for the award of RSUs and grant stock options to its directors, executive officers, key employees and consultants (the "Eligible Persons") of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the purpose of advancing the interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and its shareholders by: (i) ensuring that the interests of Eligible Persons are aligned with the success of the Company and its Subsidiaries; (ii) encouraging stock ownership by Eligible Persons; and (iii) providing compensation opportunities to attract, retain and motivate Eligible Persons.

18
Prior to the adoption of the Share Compensation Plan, the Company provided for the grant of stock options to Eligible Persons through its stock option plan (the "Stock Option Plan").  Thereafter,  the Stock Option Plan existed only for the purpose of governing the terms of all outstanding options that were issued before the adoption of the Share Compensation Plan.  No stock options have been outstanding under the Stock Option Plan since May 24, 2019; thus, the  Stock Option Plan is no longer in effect.
The Compensation Committee determines the ranges of stock option grants and RSUs awards for each level of executive officer, the key employees to whom it recommends that grants be made, and the terms and conditions of the options forming part of such grants and makes recommendations to the Board accordingly.  Individual grants and awards are determined by an assessment of an individual's current and expected future performance, level of responsibilities and the importance of the position and contribution to the Company.  The existing number and terms of the outstanding options and RSUs are considered when granting new options and RSUs.  The exercise price, which can be no less than the market price (as defined in the TSX Company Manual), the term, up to a maximum of ten years, and vesting provisions, if any, will be determined by the directors of the Company.
The number of stock options and RSUs which may be issued under the Share Compensation Plan in the aggregate and in respect of any financial year is limited under the terms of the Share Compensation Plan and cannot be increased without shareholder approval.  Details of the Company's Share Compensation Plan are provided below under "Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans".  There was no re-pricing of stock options under the Share Compensation Plan or otherwise during the most recently completed financial year.

Share-based awards consist of RSUs which are subject to vesting criteria.  The Share-based awards value is based on the fair market value of the stock price at the time of grant and recognized over the respective vesting periods.
(3)
 
Amount is based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant for a financial year using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the various assumptions related to expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected life and expected dividend yield.  Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility.  Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimated, and therefore, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company's stock options.

Also, a director of the Company.  No fees are paid to the NEO in his role as a director.

Defined Benefit or Actuarial Plan Disclosure
The Company does not provide retirement benefits for directors or officers and does not have a pension plan or a deferred compensation plan.
Termination of Employment, Change in Responsibilities and Employment Contracts
The Company has the following plans or arrangements in respect of remuneration received or that may be received by the NEOs in the Company's most recently completed financial year or current financial year in respect of compensating such officer in the event of termination of employment (as a result of resignation, change of control or change of responsibilities).

21
No termination or change of control payments are payable to Mr. Mgudlwa pursuant to the Mgudlwa Employment Agreement.
Pursuant to the Employment Agreements, each of R. Michael Jones, Frank R. Hallam and Kresimir (Kris) Begic (hereinafter referred to as "Jones", "Hallam" and "Begic", respectively; each an "Officer" and collectively, the "Officers") may resign by giving 90 days' written notice and thereafter be entitled to his annual salary earned to the date of cessation, together with any outstanding earned but untaken vacation pay, reimbursement of any final expenses and all bonuses earned in respect of any period before the date of cessation (collectively, the "Final Wages").
If an Officer is terminated without cause or resigns for good cause (as defined below), the Company will pay the Officer:
·	the Final Wages; and
·	an additional amount equal to 12 months (24 months for Jones and Hallam) of the Officers' annual salary (the "Severance Period"), and
·	the Officer's current benefits will continue until the earlier of the end of the Severance Period and receipt of similar benefits through other employment.
In the case of either a termination or resignation for good cause following a Change of Control (as defined below), the Company will pay severance as follows (the "COC Severance"):
·	Final Wages;
·	an additional amount equivalent to 24 months' annual salary (the "COC Severance Period");
·	an additional lump sum equal to the sum of the amounts paid as bonuses to the Officer in respect of the completed three bonus years preceding the date of termination divided by 36 (the "Average Monthly Bonus") multiplied by the number of completed months in the current bonus year through to the termination date; and
·	an additional lump sum equal to the Average Monthly Bonus multiplied by the number of months in the COC Severance Period, and
·	the Officers' current benefits will continue until the earlier of the end of the COC Severance Period and the Officers' receipt of similar benefits through other employment.
In addition, each Officer shall have a special right to resign on one month's written notice, delivered within 60 days following a Change of Control, in which case the Officer will be entitled to receive the COC Severance.
Upon a Change of Control, any non-vested options held by the Officer will be deemed vested on a Change of Control.  Where the Change of Control is a transaction in which the shares of the Company are to be purchased or otherwise exchanged or acquired, such vesting shall take place so as to permit the Officer, at his election to participate in the transaction in respect of any such non-vested option shares, provided that if, for any reason such Change of Control transaction does not complete, the options shall revert to their original terms, including as to vesting and all options the vesting of which is accelerated pursuant to the foregoing shall remain open for exercise until the earlier of their expiry date or one year from the Change of Control.

22

Clawback Policy
As a measure of accountability and to ensure that performance-based compensation paid by the Company is based on accurate financial data, the Board may require reimbursement or forfeiture of any such compensation received by an executive officer in the event that there is a financial restatement or correction to the Company's financial statements and the Board, or its designees (the "Administrators") determine that a lower amount of compensation would have been paid based on the restated financial results such that the individual received an excess amount of compensation. 
If a financial restatement occurs, and if the Administrators determine: (i) that the amount of any performance-based compensation actually issued, paid, granted, or awarded to any executive officer of the Company would have been a lower amount had it been calculated based on such restated financial results; and (ii) that such executive officer engaged in fraud or intentional illegal conduct which materially contributed to the need for such Financial Restatement, then the Administrators shall, except as provided below, cancel, rescind, or otherwise seek to recover from such executive officer for the benefit of the Company, and such executive officer will be required to forfeit or repay to the Company, the after-tax portion of the difference between the Awarded Compensation and the Actual Compensation.
The Administrators shall not seek such cancelation, rescission, forfeiture, or recovery from an executive officer to the extent the Administrators determine: (i) that to do so would be unreasonable; or (ii) that it would be better for the Company not to do so.

DEFERRED SHARE UNIT PLAN FOR DIRECTORS
In February 2017, the Board adopted a deferred share unit plan for directors (the "DSU Plan") effective concurrently with the Share Compensation Plan adoption. The DSU Plan permits directors who are not salaried officers or employees of the Company or a related corporation (referred to as "Eligible Directors") to convert into deferred share units ("DSUs") the fees that would otherwise be payable by the Company to them relating to future services for their participation on the Board and on committees of the Board, including all annual retainers and amounts that would be payable for serving as the Chair of the Board and/or as a chair of a committee of the Board (excluding any reimbursement of expenses) (the "Board Fees").  Only Eligible Directors are permitted to participate in the DSU Plan.  The DSU Plan is administered by the Board or such other persons as may be designated by the Board from time to time, through the recommendation of the Compensation Committee (the "DSUP Administrators").
With respect to the conversion of Board Fees into DSUs, each Eligible Director may, under the DSU Plan, elect to convert a minimum of 20% up to a maximum of 100%, in 10% increments, of his or her future Board Fees for the relevant period into DSUs in lieu of being paid such fees in cash.  On the date on which the relevant Board Fees are payable, the number of DSUs to be credited to a participating Eligible Director (a "DSU Participant") will be determined by dividing an amount equal to the designated percentage of the Board Fees that the DSU Participant has elected to have credited in DSUs on that fee payment date, by the market value of a Common Share on that fee payment date.  Eligible Directors will be entitled to make an election under the DSU Plan in respect of the period from January 1 through December 31 no later than December 31 of the prior year.  Newly elected Eligible Directors, and all Eligible Directors on the date hereof, will have 30 days from the date of his/her appointment or the date the DSU Plan is effective, as applicable, to make an election in respect of the remainder of such calendar year. All such elections will be irrevocable in respect of such period.
If a DSU Participant becomes a salaried officer or an employee of the Company or a related corporation, such DSU Participant shall thereupon be suspended from further participation in the DSU Plan in the manner set out in the DSU Plan.
The DSUP Administrators may also, in their sole discretion from time to time, award DSUs to one or more Eligible Directors for the purposes of providing additional equity related remuneration to such Eligible Directors in respect of future services as an Eligible Director. With respect to the award of such DSUs, the DSUP Administrators will determine when DSUs will be awarded, the number of DSUs to be awarded, the vesting criteria for each award of DSUs, if any, and all other terms and conditions of each award. Unless the DSUP Administrators determine otherwise, such DSUs will be subject to a vesting schedule whereby they will become vested in equal instalments over three years with one-third vesting on the first anniversary of the award and one-third vesting on each of the subsequent anniversaries of the award. The DSUP Administrators may consider alternatives for vesting criteria related to the Company's performance and will have the flexibility under the DSU Plan to apply such vesting criteria to particular awards of DSUs. The DSU Plan will also provide that: (a) where the Termination of Board Service (as defined below) of a DSU Participant (or termination of service as a salaried officer or employee, if applicable) occurs as a result of the DSU Participant's death, all unvested DSUs of that DSU Participant will vest effective on the date of death; and (b) if there is a change of control (as such term is defined in the DSU Plan), all unvested DSUs will vest immediately prior to such change of control.

27
If cash dividends are paid by the Company on the Common Shares, a DSU Participant will also be credited with dividend equivalents in the form of additional DSUs based on the number of vested DSUs the DSU Participant holds on the record date for the payment of such dividend.
Canadian DSU Participants will not be entitled to redeem any DSUs (regardless of their vested status) until after the DSU Participant ceases to be a member of the Board by way of retirement, non-re-election as a director, resignation, incapacity or death (each, a "Termination of Board Service"), or termination of service as a salaried officer or employee, if applicable.
Except with respect to U.S. Eligible Directors (defined below) a DSU Participant (or the DSU Participant's legal representative, as the case may be) will be permitted to redeem his or her vested DSUs no earlier than following Termination of Board Service (and termination of service as a salaried officer or employee, if applicable) by giving written notice to the Company to redeem on one or more dates specified by the DSU Participant (or the DSU Participant's legal representative, as the case may be), which dates shall not, in any event, be earlier than the tenth day following the release of the Company's quarterly or annual financial results immediately following such termination, or later than December 1 of the first calendar year commencing after the time of such termination. The DSUs of an Eligible Director who is a citizen or resident of the United States, as defined in the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and any other Eligible Director who is subject to tax under the Code with respect to DSUs granted pursuant to the DSU Plan (each, a "U.S. Eligible Director") will be redeemed during the calendar year following the year in which the U.S. Eligible Director experiences a "separation from service" (as defined in the Code) on a date selected by the Company. Upon redemption of DSUs, the Company will pay to the DSU Participant (or the DSU Participant's legal representative, as the case may be) a lump sum cash payment equal to the number of DSUs to be redeemed multiplied by the market value of a Common Share on the redemption date, net of any applicable deductions and withholdings. The DSU Plan will not entitle any DSU Participant to acquire Common Shares in connection with the redemption of vested DSUs under the DSU Plan.
The DSU Plan will also contain provisions that apply to DSU Participants who are subject to tax in both the United States and Canada.  For such DSU Participants, in limited circumstances specified in the DSU Plan where there is a conflict in the requirements of U.S. tax laws and Canadian tax laws, the relevant DSUs will be forfeited.
As of December 2018, each Eligible Director elected to convert 50% of his or her future Board Fees related to the period from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 into DSUs.  During calendar year 2019, the Company credited an aggregate of 140,625 DSUs in lieu of Board Fees and 67,202 DSUs in lieu of awards.
The Board Fees related to the period from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 will be payable as to 50% in cash and 50% in DSUs at the election of the Eligible Directors other than director John Copelyn who has elected to receive 100% of his Board Fees in DSUs.

Share Compensation Plan
The Share Compensation Plan was adopted by the Company after it was approved by the shareholders at the annual general meeting held on February 23, 2017 (the "Adoption Date").  As of the Adoption Date, the Share Compensation Plan governs all grants of RSUs and options to purchase Common Shares (the "Options").  Prior to the adoption of the Share Compensation Plan, the Company provided for the grant of stock options through its Stock Option Plan.  Thereafter, the Stock Option Plan existed only for the purpose of governing the terms of all outstanding options that were issued before the adoption of the Share Compensation Plan.  There has been no options outstanding under the Stock Option Plan since May 24, 2019; thus, the Stock Option Plan is no longer in effect. 
The Share Compensation Plan is a 10% "rolling" plan pursuant to which the number of Common Shares which may be issuable pursuant to RSUs and Options granted under the Share Compensation Plan, options previously granted under the Stock Option Plan, together with those Common Shares issuable pursuant to any other security based compensation arrangements of the Company or its subsidiaries, is a maximum of 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares at the time of the grant.
The Share Compensation Plan provides participants (each, an "SCP Participant"), who may include participants who are citizens or residents of the United States (each, a "US-SCP Participant"), with the opportunity, through RSUs and Options, to acquire an ownership interest in the Company. The RSUs will rise and fall in value based on the value of the Common Shares.  Unlike the Options, the RSUs will not require the payment of any monetary consideration to the Company.  Instead, each RSU represents a right to receive one Common Share following the attainment of vesting criteria determined at the time of the award.  See "Restricted Share Units - Vesting Provisions" below.  The Options, on the other hand, are rights to acquire Common Shares upon payment of monetary consideration (i.e., the exercise price), subject also to vesting criteria determined at the time of the grant.  See "Options - Vesting Provisions" below.

29
Purpose of the Share Compensation Plan
The stated purpose of the Share Compensation Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and its subsidiaries, and its shareholders by: (a) ensuring that the interests of SCP Participants are aligned with the success of the Company and its subsidiaries; (b) encouraging stock ownership by such persons; and (c) providing compensation opportunities to attract, retain and motivate such persons.
The following people are eligible to participate in the Share Compensation Plan: any officer or employee of the Company or any officer or employee of any subsidiary of the Company and, solely for purposes of the grant of Options, any non-employee director of the Company or any non-employee director of any subsidiary of the Company, and any consultant (defined under the Share Compensation Plan as a consultant that: (i) is an individual that provides bona fide services to the Company pursuant to a written contract for services with the Company and such services are not in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction and do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company's securities; or (ii) otherwise satisfies the requirements to participate in an "employee benefit plan" as defined in Rule 405 under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") registered by the Company on Form S-8).  Non-employee directors of the Company are not eligible to participate in the Share Compensation Plan in respect of RSUs.  Under the Share Compensation Plan, non-employee directors of the Company continue to be eligible to participate in respect of Options; however, only on a limited basis.  See "Restrictions on the Award of RSUs and Grant of Options" below.  Under the Stock Option Plan, directors of the Company had technically been eligible to participate on a discretionary basis without any limits on participation.
Administration of the Share Compensation Plan
The Share Compensation Plan is administered by the Board or such other persons as may be designated by the Board (the "SCP Administrators") based on the recommendation of the compensation committee of the Board (the "Compensation Committee").  The SCP Administrators determine the eligibility of persons to participate in the Share Compensation Plan, when RSUs and Options will be awarded or granted, the number of RSUs and Options to be awarded or granted, the vesting criteria for each award of RSUs and grant of Options and all other terms and conditions of each award and grant, in each case in accordance with applicable securities laws and stock exchange requirements.
Number of Common Shares Available for Issuance under the Share Compensation Plan
The number of Common Shares that are available for issuance upon the vesting of RSUs awarded and Options granted under the Share Compensation Plan will be limited to 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares at the time of any grant.
As of the date of this Information Circular, the Company has 62,347,102 Common Shares issued and outstanding;  the aggregate number of Common Shares that may be issuable pursuant to RSUs and options outstanding under the Share Compensation Plan is 3,650,870 Common Shares (being approximately 5.86% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares and approximately 58.6% of the total Common Shares that may be issuable under the Share Compensation Plan); and the number of Common Shares that are available pursuant to RSUs and options that may be granted or awarded under the Share Compensation Plan is 2,583,840 Common Shares (being approximately 4.14% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares and approximately 41.44% of the total Common Shares that may be issuable under the Share Compensation Plan).

30
Burn Rate
The security-based compensation plan of the Company, as defined under Section 613 of the TSX Company Manual, are comprised of the Share Compensation Plan.  The annual burn rate for the options issued under the Share Compensation Plan was 4.78% for the fiscal year 2019, Nil for the fiscal year 2018 and 1.83% for the fiscal year 2017 while the annual burn rate for the RSUs issued under the Share Compensation Plan was 0.69% for the fiscal year 2019, Nil for the fiscal year 2018 and 0% for the fiscal year 2017.  The burn rate is calculated by dividing the number of securities granted during the relevant fiscal year by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding as at August 31 for the applicable fiscal year.
Restrictions on the Award of RSUs and Grant of Options
Certain restrictions on awards of RSUs and grants of Options apply as follows:
(a)
 
the number of Common Shares issuable under the Share Compensation Plan to any one SCP Participant (together with those Common Shares issuable pursuant to any other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company or its subsidiaries) cannot exceed 5% of the Common Shares then issued and outstanding;
(b)
 
the total number of Common Shares reserved and available for grant and issuance pursuant to the Share Compensation Plan (together with those Common Shares issuable pursuant to any other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company or its subsidiaries) cannot exceed 10% of the Common Shares then issued and outstanding (together with those Common Shares issuable pursuant to any other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company or its subsidiaries);
(c)
 
the number of Common Shares issuable to insiders under the Share Compensation Plan (together with those Common Shares issuable pursuant to any other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company or its subsidiaries) cannot exceed 10% of the Common Shares then issued and outstanding;
(d)
 
the number of Common Shares issued to insiders under the Share Compensation Plan within a one-year period (together with those Common Shares that are issued pursuant to any other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company or its subsidiaries) cannot exceed 10% of the Common Shares then issued and outstanding; and
(e)
 
the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to SCP Participants who are non-employee directors pursuant to Options under the Share Compensation Plan shall be limited to the lesser of:
(i)
 
0.25%* of the Common Shares then issued and outstanding; and
(ii)
 
$1,000,000 in total value of grants that each director receives over the life of the Share Compensation Plan from the effective date thereof or an annual grant value of $100,000 per director, in both cases based on a valuation determined using the Black-Scholes formula or any other formula which is widely accepted by the business community as a method for the valuation of options.
* At the Meeting, the shareholders of the Company will be asked to pass an ordinary resolution approving an amendment to the Share Compensation Plan to increase the limit on the percentage of the issued and outstanding the  Common Shares  that may be reserved for issuance to SCP Participants who are non-employee directors pursuant to Options that may be granted under the Share Compensation Plan, from 0.25% "Part II - Business of the Meeting - Approval of Amendment to the Share Compensation Plan" above.
Restricted Share Units
The total number of RSUs that may be awarded shall not exceed 2.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares from time to time.

31
(a)
 
Mechanics for RSUs
RSUs awarded to SCP Participants under the Share Compensation Plan are credited to an account that is established on their behalf and maintained in accordance with the Share Compensation Plan. Each RSU awarded will conditionally entitle the holder thereof to the issuance of one Common Share upon achievement of the vesting criteria. It is currently anticipated that RSUs awarded under the Share Compensation Plan will be redeemed for Common Shares issued from treasury once the vesting criteria established by the SCP Administrators at the time of the award have been satisfied. However, the Company will continue to retain the flexibility through the amendment provisions in the Share Compensation Plan to satisfy its obligation to issue Common Shares by purchasing Common Shares in the open market or by making a lump sum cash payment of equivalent value.
(b)
 
Vesting Provisions
The Share Compensation Plan provides that: (i) at the time of the award of RSUs, the SCP Administrators will determine the vesting criteria applicable to the awarded RSUs; (ii) vesting of RSUs may include criteria such as performance vesting; (iii) each RSU shall be subject to vesting in accordance with the terms set out in an agreement evidencing the award of the RSU attached as Exhibit A to the Share Compensation Plan (or in such form as the SCP Administrators may approve from time to time) (each an "RSU Agreement"); and (iv) all vesting and issuances or payments in respect of an RSU shall be completed no later than December 15 of the third calendar year commencing after the award date for such RSU.
It is the SCP Administrators' current intention that RSUs may be awarded with both time-based vesting provisions as a component of the Company's annual incentive compensation program, and performance-based vesting provisions as a component of the Company's long-term incentive compensation program.
Under the Share Compensation Plan, should the date of vesting of an RSU fall within a blackout period or within nine business days following the expiration of a blackout period, the date of vesting will be automatically extended to the tenth business day after the end of the blackout period.
(c) 
 
Termination, Retirement and Other Cessation of Employment in connection with RSUs
A person participating in the Share Compensation Plan will cease to be eligible to participate in the following circumstances: (i) receipt of any notice of termination of employment or service (whether voluntary or involuntary and whether with or without cause); (ii) retirement; and (iii) any cessation of employment or service for any reason whatsoever, including disability and death (an "Event of Termination"). In such circumstances, any and all Common Shares corresponding to any vested RSUs will be issued (and with respect to each RSU of a US-SCP Participant, such RSU will be settled and Common Shares issued as soon as practicable following the date of vesting of such RSU as set forth in the applicable RSU Agreement, but in all cases within 90 days following such date of vesting); and unless otherwise determined by the SCP Administrators in their discretion, any unvested RSUs will automatically be forfeited and cancelled (and with respect to any RSU of a US-SCP Participant, if the SCP Administrators determine, in their discretion, to waive vesting conditions applicable to an RSU that is unvested at the time of an Event of Termination, such RSU shall not be forfeited or cancelled, but instead will be deemed to be vested and settled and Common Shares delivered following the date of vesting of such RSU as set forth in the applicable RSU Agreement.) Notwithstanding the above, if a person retires in accordance with the Company's retirement policy at such time, any unvested performance-based RSUs will not be forfeited or cancelled and instead shall be eligible to become vested in accordance with the vesting conditions set forth in the applicable RSU Agreement after such retirement (as if retirement had not occurred), but only if the performance vesting criteria, if any, have been met on the applicable date. For greater certainty, if a person is terminated for just cause, all unvested RSUs will be forfeited and cancelled.

32
Options
The total number of Common Shares that may be issuable on exercise of Options shall not exceed 7.5% of the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares from time to time.
(a)
 
Mechanics for Options
Each Option granted pursuant to the Share Compensation Plan will entitle the holder thereof to the issuance of one Common Share upon achievement of the vesting criteria and payment of the applicable exercise price. Options granted under the Share Compensation Plan will be exercisable for Common Shares issued from treasury once the vesting criteria established by the SCP Administrators at the time of the grant have been satisfied. However, the Company will continue to retain the flexibility through the amendment provisions in the Share Compensation Plan to satisfy its obligation to issue Common Shares by making a lump sum cash payment of equivalent value (i.e., pursuant to a cashless exercise), provided there is a full deduction of the number of underlying Common Shares from the Share Compensation Plan's reserve.
(b)
 
Vesting Provisions
The Share Compensation Plan provides that unless otherwise determined by the SCP Administrators, Options shall vest and become exercisable in respect of 33 1/3% of the Common Shares subject to such Options on the first day after each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date of such Options.
(c)
 
Termination, Retirement and Other Cessation of Employment in connection with Options
A person participating in the Share Compensation Plan will cease to be eligible to participate where there is an Event of Termination. In such circumstances, unless otherwise determined by the SCP Administrators in their discretion, any unvested Options will be automatically cancelled, terminated and not available for exercise and any vested Options may be exercised only before the earlier of: (i) the expiry of the Option; and (ii) six months after the date of the Event of Termination. If a person is terminated for just cause, all Options will be (whether or not then exercisable) automatically cancelled.
(d)
 
Other Terms
Cashless exercise of Options shall only  be available to an SCP Participant who was granted and is exercising such Options outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the 1933 Act at a time when the Common Shares are listed and posted for trading on a stock exchange or market in Canada, the SCP Participant intends to immediately sell the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of such Options in Canada and the proceeds of sale will be sufficient to satisfy the exercise price of the Options. If an eligible SCP Participant elects to exercise the Options through cashless exercise and complies with any relevant protocols approved by the Administrators , a sufficient number of  the Common Shares issued upon exercise of the Options will be sold in Canada by a designated broker on behalf of the SCP Participant to satisfy the exercise price of the Options, the exercise price of the Options will be delivered to the Company and the SCP Participant will receive only the remaining unsold Common Shares from the exercise of the Options and the net proceeds of the sale after deducting the exercise price of the Options, applicable taxes and any applicable fees and commissions, all as determined by the Administrators from time to time.  The Company may not deliver the Common Shares issuable upon a cashless exercise of Options until receipt of the exercise price therefor, whether by a designated broker selling the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of such Options through a short position or such other method determined by the Administrators in compliance with applicable laws.
The SCP Administrators will determine the exercise price and term/expiration date of each Option, provided that the exercise price in respect of that Option shall not be less than the "Fair Market Value" of a Common Share (defined in the Share Compensation Plan as the weighted average trading price of a Common Share on any exchange in Canada for the last five trading days or, if the Common Shares are not listed for trading on an exchange, the fair market value per Common Share on such day will be determined by the SCP Administrators with reference to such factors or such information as the SCP Administrators in their discretion deem appropriate) on the date the Option is granted. The exercise price of Options granted to US-SCP Participants shall not be less than the greater of (i) the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the grant date and (ii) the closing price of the Common Shares on any exchange in Canada where Common Shares are listed on the last trading day prior to the date the Option is granted.

33
No Option shall be exercisable after ten years from the date the Option is granted. Under the Share Compensation Plan, should the term of an Option expire on a date that falls within a blackout period or within nine business days following the expiration of a blackout period, such expiration date will be automatically extended to the tenth business day after the end of the blackout period.
The Share Compensation Plan provides that any unvested Options will vest at such time as determined by the SCP Administrators such that SCP Participants will be able to participate in a Change of Control, as defined in the Share Compensation Plan, including by surrendering such Options to the Company or a third party or exchanging such Options, for consideration in the form of cash or other securities. Additionally, any exchange, substitution or amendment of Options of US-SCP Participants will occur only to the extent and in a manner that is permitted under the Code and the 1933 Act.
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, in the event of a Change of Control, any surviving or acquiring corporation shall assume any Option outstanding under the Share Compensation Plan on substantially the same economic terms and conditions or substitute or replace similar options for those Options outstanding under the Share Compensation Plan on substantially the same economic terms and conditions.
Transferability
RSUs awarded and Options granted under the Share Compensation Plan or any rights of an SCP Participant cannot be transferred, assigned, charged, pledged or hypothecated, or otherwise alienated, whether by operation of law or otherwise.
Reorganization and Change of Control Adjustments
In the event of any declaration by the Company of any stock dividend payable in securities (other than a dividend which may be paid in cash or in securities at the option of the holder of Common Shares), or any subdivision or consolidation of Common Shares, reclassification or conversion of the Common Shares, or any combination or exchange of securities, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, amalgamation, plan of arrangement, reorganization, spin off involving the Company, distribution (other than normal course cash dividends) of Company assets to holders of Common Shares, or any other corporate transaction or event involving the Company or the Common Shares, the SCP Administrators may make such changes or adjustments, if any, as they consider fair or equitable, to reflect such change or event including adjusting the number of Options and RSUs outstanding under the Share Compensation Plan, the type and number of securities or other property to be received upon exercise or redemption thereof, and the exercise price of Options outstanding under the Share Compensation Plan, provided that the value of any Option or RSU immediately after such an adjustment shall not exceed the value of such Option or RSU prior thereto. Changes or adjustments to Options and RSUs of US-SCP Participants will be in accordance with the requirements of the Code and will comply with the vesting provisions of the Share Compensation Plan. The SCP Administrators will adopt rules, regulations, policies, guidelines or conditions with respect to the exercise of the power or authority to make changes or adjustments pursuant to reorganizations. 
If there is a Change of Control transaction, the SCP Administrators may, in their sole discretion, determine that any or all unvested RSUs and any or all Options shall vest or become exercisable, as applicable, at such time and in such manner as determined by the SCP Administrators in their sole discretion such that SCP Participants will be able to participate in the Change of Control transaction, including, at the election of the holder thereof, by surrendering such RSUs and Options to the Company or a third party or exchanging such RSUs or Options, for consideration in the form of cash and/or securities, to be determined by the SCP Administrators, subject, in the case of a US-SCP Participant, to the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

34
Amendment Provisions in the Share Compensation Plan
The Board may amend the Share Compensation Plan or any RSU or Option at any time without the consent of any SCP Participant provided that such amendment shall:
(a)
 
not adversely alter or impair any RSU previously awarded or any Option previously granted, except as permitted by the adjustment provisions of the Share Compensation Plan and, with respect to RSUs and Options of US-SCP Participants, such amendment will not create adverse tax consequences;
(b)
 
be subject to any regulatory approvals including, where required, the approval of the TSX and the NYSE American; and
(c)
 
be subject to shareholder approval, where required, by the requirements of the TSX and the NYSE American, provided that shareholder approval shall not be required for the following amendments:
(i)
 
amendments of a "housekeeping nature", including any amendment to the Share Compensation Plan or a RSU or Option that is necessary to comply with applicable laws, tax or accounting provisions or the requirements of any regulatory authority or stock exchange and any amendment to the Share Compensation Plan or an RSU or Option to correct or rectify any ambiguity, defective provision, error or omission therein, including any amendment to any definitions therein;
(ii)
 
amendments that are necessary or desirable for RSUs or Options to qualify for favourable treatment under any applicable tax law;
(iii)
 
a change to the vesting provisions of any RSU or any Option (including any alteration, extension or acceleration thereof);
(iv)
 
a change to the termination provisions of any Option or RSU (e.g., relating to termination of employment, resignation, retirement or death) that does not entail an extension beyond the original expiration date (as such date may be extended by virtue of a blackout period);
(v)
 
the introduction of features to the Share Compensation Plan that would permit the Company to retain a broker and make payments for the benefit of SCP Participants to such broker who would purchase Common Shares in the open market for such persons, instead of issuing Common Shares from treasury upon the vesting of the RSUs;
(vi)
 
the introduction of features to the Share Compensation Plan that would permit the Company to make lump sum cash payments to SCP Participants, instead of issuing Common Shares from treasury upon the vesting of the RSUs;
(vii)
 
the introduction of a cashless exercise feature (payable in cash or securities), which would provide for up to the full deduction of the number of underlying securities from the Share Compensation Plan reserve; and
(viii)
 
change the application of Reorganization Adjustments provisions in section 6.3 or the Change of Control provisions in section 6.2).
For greater certainty, shareholder approval will be required in circumstances where an amendment to the Share Compensation Plan would:
(a)
 
change from a fixed maximum percentage of issued and outstanding Common Shares to a fixed maximum number of Common Shares;
(b)
 
increase the limits referred to above under "Restrictions on the Award of RSUs and Grant of Options";
(c)
 
permit the award of RSUs to non-employee directors of the Company or a change in the limitations on grants of Options to non-employee directors;
(d)
 
permit RSUs or Options to be transferable or assignable other than for normal estate settlement purposes;

35
(e)
 
reduce the exercise price of any Option (including any cancellation of an Option for the purpose of reissuance of a new Option at a lower exercise price to the same person);
(f)
 
extend the term of any Option beyond the original term (except if such period is being extend by virtue of a blackout period); or
(g)
 
amend the amendment provisions in Section 6.4 of the Share Compensation Plan.

The following directors have been determined by the Board to be independent, in accordance with National Instrument 58-101, as they are not members of management and, in the view of the Board, they do not have a relationship which could be reasonably expected to, interfere with the exercise of their independent judgement, other than interests and relationships arising from shareholding: Diana Walters, Timothy Marlow, John Copelyn and Stuart Harshaw.
Mr. Copelyn is the Chief Executive Officer of HCI, one of the major shareholders of the Company as disclosed in the Information Circular to which this schedule is attached. In determining that Mr. Copelyn is independent, the Board and the Governance and Nomination Committee have taken into account a number of factors, including that:
•
 
Mr. Copelyn is not a member of management and receives no compensation from the Company other than fees in relation to his services as a director;
•
 
Mr. Copelyn does not personally own, directly or indirectly, any common shares of the Company and has advised the Company that he beneficially owns approximately 8% of the shares of HCI;
•
 
HCI has not sought to exercise control over management or the policies of the Company; and
•
 
Mr. Copelyn has demonstrated, since becoming a member of the Board in 2018, that he has an interest in the viability, growth and prosperity of the Company and is committed to corporate governance practices that include the engagement and oversight of effective management, as well as the election of independent directors.
The Board and the Governance and Nomination Committee will continue to periodically review Mr. Copelyn's independence; and
The Company intends to appoint an additional independent director during fiscal year 2020.
In the view of the Board and the Governance and Nomination Committee, Mr. Copelyn is able to and does represent the interests of shareholders as he fulfills his duties on the Board

Frank Hallam, CFO, has been appointed as the Company's Ethics Officer to ensure adherence to the Code and to report to the Governance and Nomination Committee.  Additionally, in order to ensure compliance with the Code, the Board has established an anonymous complaint procedure for financial concerns, and environment and safety concerns.  To date, the Company has not been required to file a material change report relating to a departure from the Code.
 
Whistleblower Policy
In order to carry out its responsibilities under the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee has adopted a standalone Whistleblower Policy, which is to augment the existing reporting violations and whistleblowing provisions found within the Code; Timely Disclosure, Confidentiality Insider Trading Policy; and Business Integrity Policy.  The Whistleblower Policy outlines procedures for the confidential, anonymous submission by directors, officers, employees, consultants and, as appropriate, certain third parties of the Company (collectively, the "Covered Persons") regarding the Company's compliance with all applicable government laws, rules and regulations, corporate reporting and disclosure, accounting practices, internal accounting controls or auditing matters (collectively, the "Accounting Concerns"), without fear of retaliation of any kind.  Any Covered Person with an Accounting Concern relating to the Company or any subsidiary of the Company may submit their Accounting Concern in writing, by telephone or e-mail by forwarding it to the Chairman of the Audit Committee or to the Company's outside counsels.  All submissions will be treated in a confidential and sensitive manner and the Covered Person may have the option to remain anonymous.

The Governance and Nomination Committee is responsible for establishing appropriate processes for the regular evaluation of the effectiveness of the Board, its members, its committees and their charters.  It is also responsible for reviewing: (i) the performance of individual directors and committees of the Board; (ii) the performance evaluation of the chair of each Board committee; and (iii) regularly, the performance evaluation of the CEO, including performance against corporate objectives.  The Governance and Nomination Committee is in the process of establishing an appropriate process for the regular evaluation of the Board and will conduct regular assessments in accordance with its mandate.  Management and directors communicate with shareholders on an ongoing basis, and shareholders are regularly consulted on the effectiveness of Board members and senior staff.

Director Term Limits and Other Mechanisms of Board Renewal	 	
 	 	
Disclose whether or not the issuer has adopted term limits for the directors on its board or other mechanisms of board renewal and, if so, include a description of those director term limits or other mechanisms of board renewal. If the issuer has not adopted director term limits or other mechanisms of board renewal, disclose why it has not done so.	The Company has not adopted term limits for its directors as the Company is of the view that director term limits reduce continuity and experience on the Board and that term limits force valuable, experienced and knowledgeable directors to leave. As such, the Company views term limits as not in the Company's best interests. To ensure adequate board renewal, the Governance and Nomination Committee is responsible for conducting regular director, Board and committee assessments. These assessments will evaluate the tenure and performance of individual directors and review the composition and effectiveness of the Board and its committees. The results of these assessments will be reported to the Board and the Chair, together with recommendations, if any, from the Governance and Nomination Committee comprising the composition of the Board.

Policies Regarding the Representation of Women on the Board	 	
 	 	
(a) 
 
Disclose whether the issuer has adopted a written policy relating to the identification and nomination of women directors. If the issuer has not adopted such a policy, disclose why it has not done so.	The Board currently has one female director representing 14.3% of the directors standing for re-election. In identifying suitable candidates for nomination to the Board, the Governance and Nomination Committee and the Board do not consider the level of representation of women on the Board but rather makes their nomination and appointment decisions based on merit, regardless of gender, by assessing whether a person's skills and experience are appropriate for a Board position. The Company has determined that, due to its current stage of development and the fact that the current nomination and appointment procedures have yielded appropriate candidates for nomination to the Board, it is unnecessary at this time to adopt a written policy regarding the identification and nomination of female directors. The Board also considers the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in connection with its nomination and appointment procedures.	
 	 	
(b) 
 
If an issuer has adopted a policy referred to in (a), disclose the following in respect of the policy:
(i)
