**COMPENSATION COMMITTEE**

 

The Company’s compensation policies and programs are designed to be competitive with similar mining companies and to recognize and reward executive performance consistent with the success of the Company’s business. These policies and programs are intended to attract and retain capable and experienced people. The role and philosophy of the compensation committee (“ **Compensation Committee**” ) is to ensure that the Company’s compensation goals and objectives, as applied to the actual compensation paid to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers, are aligned with the Company’s overall business objectives and with shareholder interests.

 

In addition to industry comparables, the Compensation Committee considers a variety of factors when determining both compensation policies and programs and individual compensation levels. These factors include the long-range interests of the Company and its shareholders, overall financial and operating performance of the Company and the Compensation Committee’s assessment of each executive’s individual performance and contribution toward meeting corporate objectives.

 

The current members of the Compensation Committee are Peter Evensen, Warren Davis and William Harris. Warren Davis and William Harris are both independent directors. Peter Evensen is relying on a temporary exemption from the requirement to be an independent member of the Compensation Committee. The direct or indirect “ material relationship”  between Peter Evensen and the Company is based solely on his shared voting and investment control of over more than 10% of the Company’s common shares. The Board determined in its reasonable judgement that (i) Peter Evensen is able to exercise the impartial judgement necessary for Mr. Evensen to fulfill his responsibilities as a Compensation Committee member, and (ii) the appointment of Mr. Evensen is required by the best interests of the Company and its shareholders of the Company.

|        |
|   |

 

The function of the Compensation Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities relating to the compensation practices of the executive officers of the Company. The Compensation Committee has been empowered to review the compensation levels of the executive officers of the Company and to report thereon to the Board; to review the strategic objectives of the stock option and other stock-based compensation plans of the Company and to set stock based compensation; and to consider any other matters which, in the Compensation Committee’s judgment, should be taken into account in reaching the recommendation to the Board concerning the compensation levels of the Company’s executive officers.

 

***Report on Executive Compensation***

 

This report on executive compensation has been authorized by the Compensation Committee. The Board assumes responsibility for reviewing and monitoring the long-range compensation strategy for the senior management of the Company although the Compensation Committee guides it in this role. The Board determines the type and amount of compensation for the President and CEO. The Board also reviews the compensation of the Company’s senior executives. The Compensation Committee has not considered the implications of the risks associated with the Company’s compensation policies and practices.

 

The Compensation Committee makes the final determination on compensation for directors and senior executives of the Company. The Compensation Committee will take recommendations from the CEO as to what appropriate levels of compensation should be for senior executives. The Compensation Committee does not delegate the authority to determine compensation for directors and senior officers to other persons. 

 

***Philosophy and Objectives***

 

The compensation program for the senior management of the Company is designed to ensure that the level and form of compensation achieves certain objectives, including:

 

| (a)    | attracting and retaining talented, qualified and effective executives;          |
|--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|   |                                                                            |
| (b)    | motivating the short and long-term performance of these executives; and         |
|   |                                                                            |
| (c)    | better aligning their interests with those of the Company’s shareholders. |

   

In compensating its senior management, the Company has employed a combination of base salary and equity participation through its stock option plan. The Company’s Named Executive Officers or NEOs, as that term is defined in Form 51-102F6, 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.

 

***Elements of the Compensation Program***

 

The significant elements of compensation awarded to the Named Executive Officers (as defined below) are a cash salary and stock options. The Company does not presently have a long-term incentive plan for its Named Executive Officers. There is no policy or target regarding allocation between cash and non-cash elements of the Company’s compensation program. The Compensation Committee reviews annually the total compensation package of each of the Company’s executives on an individual basis, against the backdrop of the compensation goals and objectives described above and makes recommendations to the Board concerning the individual components of their compensation.

***Cash Salary***

 

As a general rule, the Company seeks to offer its Named Executive Officers a compensation package that is in line with that offered by other companies in our industry, and as an immediate means of rewarding the Named Executive Officers for efforts expended on behalf of the Company.

 

***Equity Participation***

 

The Company believes that encouraging its executives and employees to become shareholders is the best way of aligning their interests with those of its shareholders. Equity participation is accomplished through the Company’s stock option plan. Stock options are granted to senior executives taking into account a number of factors, including the amount and term of options previously granted, base salary and bonuses and competitive factors. Options are generally granted to senior executives which vest on terms established by the Board.

 

***Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits***

 

The Company’s Named Executive Officers are not generally entitled to significant perquisites or other personal benefits not offered to the Company’s other employees.
