RELATIONSHIPS AMONG DIRECTORS OR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

There are no family relationships among any of the existing
directors or executive officers of the Company.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING
COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, requires the Company's directors, executive officers and persons who
own more than 10% of a registered class of the Companys securities to file with
the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of
Common Stock and other equity securities of the Company. Directors, executive
officers and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulation to
furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.

To the Companys knowledge, based solely on a review of Forms 3
and 4, as amended, furnished to it during its most recent fiscal year, and Form
5, as amended, furnished to it with respect to such year, the Company believes
that during the year ended December 31, 2011, its directors, executive officers
and greater than 10% shareholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing
requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

ETHICAL BUSINESS CONDUCT

The Board has adopted a Code of Ethics (the Code) as a
guideline for the oversight of the ethical conduct of management. The Companys
audit committee monitors compliance with the Code, and the Board and audit
committee are responsible for granting any waivers from the Code. During the
recently completed fiscal year, there was no conduct by a director or executive
officer that constituted a departure from the Code and no material change report
in that respect has been filed. The Company Code of Conduct is available on the
Companys website.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee considers the selection and retention of
independent auditors and reviews the scope and results of the audit. In
addition, it reviews the adequacy of internal accounting, financial and
operating controls and reviews the Companys financial reporting compliance
procedures. The members of the Audit Committee are Mr. Harris, Mr. Davis and Mr.
Davies. Mr. Harris (independent) is the Audit Committee financial expert by way
of his previous experience in finance, treasury and audit committee
functions.

In the course of its oversight of our financial reporting
process, the directors have: (1) reviewed and discussed with management our
audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012; (2) received
a report from Davidson & Company LLP, our independent auditors, on the
matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61,
Communications with Audit Committees; (3) received the written disclosures and
the letter from the auditors required by Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board Rule 3526; and (4) considered whether or note the provision of non-audit
services by the auditors is compatible with maintaining their independence and
has concluded that it is compatible at this time.

Based on the foregoing review and discussions, the Board has
concluded that the audited financial statements should be included in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the SEC.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

Composition of the Compensation Committee

The members of the Compensation Committee during the year ended
December 31, 2012 were Mr. Harris, Mr. Davies and Mr. Davis.

Report on Executive Compensation

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is
responsible for reviewing and approving the remuneration of the senior
management of the Company, including the President and chief executive officer.
The guiding philosophy of the Compensation Committee in the determination of
executive compensation is ensuring that the Company is able to attract the best
possible candidates for management positions, given the high level of
competition for competent management in the mining industry, and to align the
interests of management with those of the Companys shareholders.

The Companys executive compensation policies are designed to
recognize and reward individual contribution, performance and level of
responsibility and ensure that the compensation levels remain competitive with
other companies in the same industry. The key components of total compensation
are base salary and incentives.

The Compensation Committee has no formal process for
determining appropriate base salary ranges. Currently the Company pays executive
compensation in the form of a base salary to its President only. The base salary
to the President was based on a proposal from the President, which were accepted
by the Company after considering his experience and expected responsibility and
contribution to the Company.

Stock options are granted to senior management to align the
financial interests of management with the interests of shareholders of the
Company and to encourage senior management to focus on strategies and results
that enhance shareholder value in the longer term. The number of options to
purchase Common Shares granted to each individual will depend largely on his
level of responsibility and contribution to the Companys performance.

The Compensation Committee considers, on an ongoing basis, the
appropriateness and effectiveness of the Companys executive compensation
policies, given prevailing circumstances.

The Compensation Committee has been authorized by the board of
directors to take steps on its behalf as are necessary regarding: (a) appointing
and compensating executive officers and approving succession plans for executive
officers, excluding the Chief Executive Officer, (b) approving and reporting to
the Board respecting the Corporations human resources policies for executive
officers, and (c) overseeing the administration of the Corporations
compensation and benefits plans. Compensation Committee authorities cannot be
delegated without board approval.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider
Participation

None of the members of the Compensation Committee served as an
employee of the Company during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 (or
subsequently). No current member of the Compensation Committee formerly served
as an officer of the Company, and none of the current members of the
Compensation Committee have entered into a transaction with the Company in which
they had a direct or indirect interest that is required to be disclosed pursuant
to Item 404 of Regulation S-K.

during November 2009 as part of the purchase of a subsidiary company. The
promissory note, principal balance of $500,000, interest at prime rate per
annum, matured and was paid during June 2012.

On February 4, 2013, the Company issued convertible loans for
total proceeds of $650,000. The convertible loans have a maturity date of 12

shares at a rate of $0.05 per share. A total of $600,000 of the offering was

determined that the following directors are independent as required by Toronto
Stock Exchange listing standards: William B. Harris, Warren Davis, John Grubb
