| &nbsp;&nbsp;April 29, 2026 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Dear Shareholder, |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Pacific Booker owns a great asset with tremendous value potential. In an effort to take control of this asset, American Eagle Gold Corp. (the "**Offeror**" or "**American Eagle**") has commenced an opportunistic hostile take-over bid (the "**Hostile Bid**") to acquire all of the common shares (the "**Common Shares**") of Pacific Booker Minerals Inc. ("**Pacific Booker**" or the "**Company**" or "**we**" or "**our**"). This asset rightfully belongs to you, our shareholders, and not to an outside buyer attempting to purchase the Company below its fair value. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;After careful consideration, and with the advice of external financial and legal advisors, and having received the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee (the "**Special Committee**") comprised of independent directors of the board of directors (the "**Board**" or "**Pacific Booker Board**") of the Company, the Board believes that the Hostile Bid is inadequate and unanimously recommends that you **REJECT** the Hostile Bid and **NOT TENDER** your Common Shares. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;To reject the Hostile Bid, shareholders simply do not need to do anything – **TAKE NO ACTION**. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;The Board has established the Special Committee, chaired by Jonathan McCullough and including Gregory Anderson, each of whom are independent directors, to oversee Pacific Booker's response to the Hostile Bid and make recommendations in respect thereof. As the Special Committee evaluates alternatives to maximize shareholder value, we believe a superior offer or alternatives may emerge prior to the scheduled expiry of the Hostile Bid, which is not until 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on July 29, 2026. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;By any measure, Pacific Booker's Morrison Project is worth substantially more than the consideration offered under the Hostile Bid. We urge you to carefully read the attached directors' circular (the "**Directors' Circular**"), which provides background to the Hostile Bid and outlines compelling reasons to **REJECT** it. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Significant standalone and strategic value** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Quite simply, American Eagle is offering to buy your shares at a price well below what they are worth. The Morrison Project is a large-scale copper-gold-molybdenum deposit in a Tier-1 jurisdiction (British Columbia) with mineral resources of over two billion pounds of copper and over two million ounces of gold supported by a completed Technical Report. The Hostile Bid values the Morrison Project at approximately US$0.01 per pound of copper in resources, which is the low end of the peer group range between US$0.02 and US$0.05 per pound (or as much as an 80% discount) and well below the comparable precedent transactions ranging between US$0.04 per pound and US$0.09 per pound (or as much as an 89% discount).<sup>1</sup> American Eagle is opportunistically attempting to acquire this asset at distressed pricing before the Company has had the opportunity to re-engage with First Nations stakeholders, reset the permitting pathway, or conduct a competitive strategic process. Our view is that tendering your Common Shares at the low price offered by American Eagle would deprive you of significant upside potential in your investment by crystallizing value before the Company has had a chance to remedy the above items. |

<br> <sup>1</sup> Refer to Appendix "C" of the Directors' Circular for the Company's mineral resource estimate, derived from the Technical Report.

&nbsp;&nbsp;iv<br>

| |
|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Significant standalone and strategic value** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Your decision comes down to whether you believe that the Morrison Project is worth more than the implied consideration being offered by American Eagle, or alternatively, that 1.41 common shares of American Eagle per Common Share (representing an implied offer price of $1.551 based on the closing price of American Eagle's common shares on the TSXV on April 28, 2026) reflects full value for the Company. The market clearly does not see the Hostile Bid's value as adequate, as Pacific Booker's shares have closed above the Hostile Bid's value each day since announcement, and traded at prices representing *more than double* the implied consideration. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;The Board and its advisors believe that the Morrison Project is a restart-able, permitted-scale copper asset with significant optionality value under current and projected copper price environments. The Morrison Project is not a "stranded" project, as American Eagle has characterized it. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Offer consideration carries significant risk** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;The share consideration offered under the Hostile Bid exposes our shareholders to a company with inferior assets. The consideration offered under the Hostile Bid is comprised entirely of shares of American Eagle, a pre-revenue, exploration-stage company. American Eagle has no mineral resource or reserve estimates at its NAK project, no history of mineral production, negative operating cash flow, and is dependent on third-party financing. American Eagle reported a net loss of approximately $7.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. There is significant risk to Pacific Booker shareholders in accepting American Eagle shares, since there is insufficient drilling to determine the ultimate average grade and continuity of the mineralization at the NAK project. Assuming American Eagle would be valued at the peer group average valuation, it would need to produce a mineral resource estimate of approximately the same size as Morrison in order to justify its current market value, which is a highly uncertain outcome. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Moreover, American Eagle opted to make the Hostile Bid and file the American Eagle Circular mere days before its audited annual financial statements were due to be filed, compromising the ability of Shareholders to properly value the Offeror Common Shares and leaving Shareholders with nearly seven month old financial information which may no longer accurately reflect the Offeror's financial state. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Board actively pursuing strategic alternatives** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;The Pacific Booker Board, on the recommendation of the Special Committee and with the assistance of its financial and legal advisors, is actively evaluating strategic alternatives designed to maximize value for all our shareholders, including both seeking to engage with third parties on potential alternative transactions that would offer fair value to shareholders and also exploring standalone scenarios.  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Undervalued compared to peers and comparable transactions** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;The Hostile Bid values Pacific Booker at approximately US$0.01 per pound of copper in resources, which is in the low-end valuation range of between US$0.02 per pound and US$0.05 per pound for comparable  |

&nbsp;&nbsp;v<br>

|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;copper development-stage assets (or as much as an 80% discount) and well below precedent transactions of between US$0.04 per pound and US$0.09 per pound (or as much as an 89% discount). <sup>2</sup> |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Accepting the American Eagle offer would mean that you, our shareholders, are foregoing a significant portion of Pacific Booker's fair value and exchanging your interest in a resource-stage copper-gold asset for shares of an early-stage, pre-resource exploration company with significant execution risk. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;We are confident that the Morrison Project's standalone and strategic value, combined with the Board's active pursuit of strategic alternatives, will deliver greater value to our shareholders than the consideration American Eagle is offering. The Special Committee may uncover additional opportunities which we believe would be superior to the Hostile Bid. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**An opportunistic and inadequate bid** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;We believe the Hostile Bid is opportunistically timed to acquire the Morrison Project at a depressed valuation before the Company has had the opportunity to re-engage with First Nations stakeholders, reset the permitting pathway, or conduct a competitive strategic process that could surface the true value of the Morrison asset. American Eagle is well aware of the scale and quality of the Morrison Project's copper-gold endowment and wishes to capture this upside potential for itself. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;American Eagle's approach is driven by a desire to acquire the Morrison Project on the cheap, before the Company can undertake the steps necessary to demonstrate the full value of the asset. This is consistent with American Eagle's history of repeated attempts to acquire the Morrison Project at a discount since 2024. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;We agree with American Eagle that Pacific Booker owns a great asset with tremendous value potential. Where we differ is in our belief that the upside rightfully belongs to you, our shareholders, and not to an outside buyer attempting to purchase the Company below its fair value. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Take No Action** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;For the reasons fully described in our Directors' Circular, we recommend that you **REJECT** the Hostile Bid. To reject, you do not need to do anything. If you have tendered your Common Shares and wish to withdraw, simply ask your broker or Laurel Hill Advisory Group, by calling 1-877-452-7184 (toll-free in North America) or 1-416-304-0211 (collect calls outside North America), by texting "INFO" to either number, or by email at assistance@laurelhill.com, to assist you with this process.

The Pacific Booker Board took into account numerous factors including, but not limited to, the reasons set out below in reaching its **UNANIMOUS** recommendation that Shareholders **REJECT** the Hostile Bid and **NOT TENDER** their Common Shares to the Hostile Bid. See "*Reasons for Rejecting the Hostile Bid*". <br> Shareholders are strongly encouraged to carefully review the full explanation of the reasons for the Special Committee's and the Pacific Booker Board's unanimous recommendations in this Directors' Circular, including the opinion of RCI Capital dated April 29, 2026, that, as of that date and based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications contained in its opinion and such other matters as RCI Capital considered relevant, the consideration offered to the Shareholders (other than American Eagle and its affiliates) under the Hostile Bid is inadequate, from a financial point of view, to such Shareholders. See "*Directors' Recommendation*".<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;The full text of the foregoing opinion, setting out the assumptions made, matters considered and limitations and qualifications of the review undertaken in connection with the opinion of RCI Capital, is attached as Appendix "A" to this Directors' Circular.<br> The summary of the opinion of RCI Capital in this Directors' Circular is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion. The opinion is not a recommendation as to whether or not Shareholders should accept or reject the Hostile Bid. The opinion is one of a number of factors taken into consideration by the Special Committee and the Pacific Booker Board in making their unanimous determinations that the Hostile Bid is inadequate, does not reflect full and fair value for the Common Shares and is not in the best interests of Pacific Booker or its Shareholders and to recommend that Shareholders reject the Hostile Bid and not tender their Common Shares to the Hostile Bid. Please refer to the heading "*Opinion of the Financial Advisor*" for further details regarding the opinion.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Q.** **What action is the Pacific Booker Board undertaking in response to the Hostile Bid?** <br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.On April 27, 2026, the Pacific Booker Board established the Special Committee, comprised of two independent directors, to evaluate the Hostile Bid, make recommendations in respect thereof and to consider other strategic alternatives available to Pacific Booker. The Pacific Booker Board, through the Special Committee and consistent with its fiduciary duties, is evaluating a broad range of options, including, but not limited to, possible change of control transactions or asset sales with one or more third parties, partnerships with strategic or financial partners or remaining independent and pursuing Pacific Booker's existing strategy as a stand-alone entity. Shareholders should wait for the results of the Special Committee's efforts to explore available alternatives. See "*Alternatives to the Hostile Bid*". <br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Q.** **How many Common Shares does American Eagle own?** <br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.The American Eagle Circular discloses that it beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or controls or directs, 1,000 Common Shares of Pacific Booker, representing approximately 0.01% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. <br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Q.** **My broker advised me to tender my Common Shares. Should I?** <br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.**NO.** The Pacific Booker Board, based on the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee comprised of independent directors, and after receiving advice from its financial and legal advisors, has **UNANIMOUSLY** recommended that Shareholders **REJECT** the Hostile Bid and **NOT TENDER** their Common Shares to the Hostile Bid. The American Eagle Circular states that American Eagle has agreed to pay fees or commissions to its financial advisor, SCP Resource Finance LP, and its information agent and depository, Shorecrest Group Ltd., and that it may make other arrangements with soliciting dealers, dealer managers or information agents, either within or outside Canada, for compensation during the Hostile Bid period if it considers it appropriate to do so. As a result, their advice with respect to a decision to tender may not be impartial. <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;xiii<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Q.** **Is this a "friendly" take-over bid?** <br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.**NO.** In a friendly take-over bid, the two companies work together to come to an agreement that would enhance Shareholder value. American Eagle, however, initiated its offer without the support of the Pacific Booker Board. Given this, the Hostile Bid should **not** be considered a friendly take-over bid and should be considered hostile to Pacific Booker. The Special Committee and the Pacific Booker Board are working, together with Pacific Booker's external financial and legal advisors, to develop, review and evaluate a range of strategic alternatives in the best interests of Pacific Booker and its Shareholders with a view to maximizing value to Shareholders. <br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Q.** **Will the Offeror increase the Hostile Bid?** <br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.Although American Eagle may increase the consideration offered under the Hostile Bid, it has not done so – see "*Background to the Hostile Bid and Response of Pacific Booker*". As a result, Pacific Booker does not know if the Offeror will increase the consideration offered to Shareholders under the Hostile Bid. The Pacific Booker Board believes that at its current price the Hostile Bid is inadequate, does not reflect full and fair value for the Common Shares and is not in the best interests of Pacific Booker or its Shareholders. See "*Reasons for Rejecting the Hostile Bid*". <br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Q.** **Will I have protections if the Offeror takes up more than 66 2/3% of the Common Shares under the Hostile Bid and I don't tender my Common Shares?** <br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.**YES.** If the Offeror takes up Common Shares under the Hostile Bid, the Offeror is required by law to extend the Hostile Bid for a further 10-day period during which Shareholders who have not already done so may tender their Common Shares. Further, applicable corporate law contains protections for minority Shareholders, including the right, in certain circumstances, to dissent and demand payment of the fair value of their Common Shares in the event of a Subsequent Acquisition Transaction (as defined below). If by the Expiry Time or within four (4) months from the date of the Hostile Bid, the Offeror is successful in acquiring at least 90% of the Common Shares under the Hostile Bid, excluding Common Shares held at the date of the Hostile Bid by or on behalf of the Offeror or its affiliates or associates (each as defined in NI 62-104), the Offeror has disclosed its intention to acquire the remaining Common Shares pursuant to a Compulsory Acquisition. If the Offeror is successful in acquiring at least two-thirds of the Common Shares, but less than 90% of the Common Shares, or the right of Compulsory Acquisition is not available, the Offeror has disclosed that it may pursue other means of acquiring the remaining Common Shares not deposited under the Hostile Bid pursuant to an amalgamation, statutory arrangement, capital reorganization, amendment to the articles or notice of articles of Pacific Booker, consolidation or other transaction (as determined by the Offeror) (a "**Subsequent Acquisition Transaction**"). <br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Q.** **How does this deal compare to other recent deals in the sector?** <br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.The Hostile Bid fails to recognize the strategic importance of a copper development company in a well-established jurisdiction and is significantly below implied premiums and multiples of recent precedent transactions seen in the mining sector. We would encourage those with questions regarding the value of the Hostile Bid relative to past transactions to reference the "*Reasons for Rejecting the Hostile Bid*" section of this Directors' Circular which clearly outlines, <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;using a multitude of methodologies, why the undervalued Hostile Bid is nearly unprecedented in the mining sector.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Q.** **Do I have to decide now?** <br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.**NO.** You do not have to take any action. The Hostile Bid is currently scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on July 29, 2026 and is subject to a number of conditions that may never be satisfied. **You do not have to make a decision until immediately prior to the Expiry Time to ensure that you are able to consider all of the options available to you.** <br> If you have already tendered your Common Shares to the Hostile Bid and you decide to withdraw these Common Shares from the Hostile Bid, you must allow sufficient time to complete the withdrawal process prior to the expiry of the Hostile Bid. For more information on how to withdraw your Common Shares, you should contact your broker or Laurel Hill Advisory Group, by calling 1-877-452-7184 (toll-free in North America) or 1-416-304-0211 (collect calls outside North America), by texting "INFO" to either number, or by email at assistance@laurelhill.com.

You may be contacted by agents of American Eagle, encouraging you to tender your Common Shares. We strongly encourage you to read and consider the information provided in this Directors' Circular carefully and take no action. <br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Q.** **How do I find out if I still own Common Shares/how many Common Shares I own?** <br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.To confirm your current position in Pacific Booker, please contact your broker where your Common Shares are held.

The effect of any one risk, uncertainty or factor on particular forward-looking information is uncertain because these factors are independent, and the Company's future course of action would depend on an assessment of all available information at that time. However, based on information available to Pacific Booker on the date of this Directors' Circular, management believes that the expectations in the forward-looking information are reasonable. Pacific Booker gives no assurances as to future results, levels of activity or achievements.<br> Although the forward-looking information is based on assumptions which Pacific Booker believes to be reasonable, neither Pacific Booker nor the Pacific Booker Board makes any assurance that actual results will be consistent with such forward-looking information. Such forward-looking information is made as of the date of this Directors' Circular unless otherwise stated, and neither Pacific Booker nor the Pacific Booker Board assumes any obligation to update or revise such information to reflect new events or circumstances, except as required by applicable Canadian securities laws. Due to the risks, uncertainties and assumptions <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;inherent in forward-looking information, readers should not place undue reliance on this forward-looking information.<br> Certain statements in this Directors' Circular are forward-looking statements with respect to American Eagle and American Eagle's expectations with respect to the Hostile Bid and Pacific Booker. The information was derived from the American Eagle Circular and other publicly available documents and is subject to the cautionary statements provided by American Eagle in such documents. See "*Information Regarding American Eagle*".<br> This cautionary statement qualifies all forward-looking information contained in this Directors' Circular.<br> **SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL DISCLOSURE**<br> In this Directors' Circular, the definitions of proven and probable mineral reserves, and measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources are those used by the Canadian provincial securities regulatory authorities and conform to the definitions utilized by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("**CIM**"), as the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves adopted by the CIM Council, as amended. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Scientific and technical information contained in this Directors' Circular was reviewed and approved by Kent Zehr, consultant to the Company, and a "qualified person" under National Instrument 43-101 - *Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects* ("**NI 43-101**"). <br> Scientific and technical information contained in this Directors' Circular is derived from, and in some instances is a direct extract from, and based on the assumptions, qualifications and procedures set out in the report entitled "Morrison Copper/Gold Project – Feasibility Study, NI 43-101 Technical Report" dated March 12, 2009, and prepared by Wardrop Engineering Inc. (the "**Technical Report**").

This Directors' Circular has been prepared by Pacific Booker in accordance with disclosure requirements under applicable Canadian law. Shareholders in the United States and otherwise outside of Canada should be aware that these requirements may be different from those of the United States and other jurisdictions. Pacific Booker prepares its financial statements in accordance with IFRS. These financial statements may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies and other non-Canadian companies. It may be difficult for Shareholders in the United States and otherwise outside of Canada to enforce their rights and any claim they may have arising under United States federal securities laws or the securities laws of other non-Canadian jurisdictions since Pacific Booker is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, certain of the officers and directors of Pacific Booker reside in Canada, and some of the experts named herein reside in Canada.<br>

Government publications and reports generally indicate that they have obtained their information from sources believed to be reliable, but do not guarantee the accuracy and completeness of their information. Often, such information is provided subject to specific terms and conditions limiting the liability of the provider, disclaiming any responsibility for such information, and/or limiting a third party's ability to rely on such information. None of the authors of such publications and reports has provided any form of consultation, advice or counsel regarding any aspect of, or is in any way whatsoever associated with, Pacific Booker. Actual outcomes may vary materially from those forecast in such reports or publications, and the prospect for material variation can be expected to increase as the length of the forecast period increases. While Pacific Booker believes this data to be reliable, market and industry data is subject to variations and cannot be verified due to limits on the availability and reliability of data inputs, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process and other limitations and uncertainties inherent in any market or other survey. Accordingly, the accuracy, currency and completeness of this information cannot be guaranteed. Pacific Booker has not independently verified any of the data from third party sources referred to in this Directors' Circular or ascertained the underlying assumptions relied upon by such sources.<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;14<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;**DIRECTORS' RECOMMENDATION**<br> **After careful consideration by the Pacific Booker Board, in consultation with its external financial and legal advisors, of the terms and conditions of the Hostile Bid, the Pacific Booker Board, based on the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee comprised of independent directors upon consultation with its own external financial and legal advisors, as well as the factors described in this Directors' Circular, has unanimously concluded that the Hostile Bid is inadequate, does not reflect full and fair value for the Common Shares and is not in the best interests of Pacific Booker or its Shareholders.**<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;**DIRECTORS' RECOMMENDATION**<br>**The Pacific Booker Board unanimously concluded that the Hostile Bid is inadequate, does not reflect full and fair value for the Common Shares and is not in the best interests of Pacific Booker or its Shareholders and recommends that you**<br>**REJECT** **the Hostile Bid and** **DO NOT TENDER** **your Common Shares.** <br>**Any Shareholder who has tendered his or her Common Shares to the Hostile Bid should WITHDRAW**<br>**those Common Shares IMMEDIATELY.**<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;If you have tendered your Common Shares, you can withdraw them. For assistance in withdrawing your Common Shares, you should contact your broker or the Company's strategic shareholder advisor and information agent, Laurel Hill Advisory Group (contact information immediately below). See "*How to Withdraw Your Deposited Common Shares*". To keep current with and obtain information about the Hostile Bid, please visit www.pacificbooker.com. <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;15<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;**REASONS FOR REJECTING THE HOSTILE BID**<br> The following are the principal reasons for the **UNANIMOUS** recommendations of the Special Committee and of the Pacific Booker Board to Shareholders to **REJECT** the Hostile Bid and **NOT TENDER** their Common Shares to the Hostile Bid.<br> **1.** **The Hostile Bid is highly opportunistic bid that does not reflect Pacific Booker's full and fair value.** <br> *The Hostile Bid is well below fair value for the Company assets*: The Morrison Project is a large-scale copper-gold-molybdenum deposit in a Tier-1 jurisdiction (British Columbia) with mineral resources of over two billion pounds of copper and over two million ounces of gold supported by a completed technical report. The Hostile Bid values the Morrison Project at approximately US$0.01 per pound of copper in resources, which is in the low-end range of the peer group precedent transactions of between US$0.02 per pound and US$0.05 per pound of contained copper in resources (or as much as an 80% discount) as well comparable precedent transactions between US$0.04 and US$0.09 per pound of copper in resources (or as much as an 89% discount).<sup>4</sup> American Eagle is attempting to acquire this asset at distressed pricing before the Company has had the opportunity to re-engage with First Nations stakeholders, reset the permitting pathway, or conduct a competitive strategic process. The view of the Board and management is that tendering Common Shares at the low price offered by American Eagle would deprive Shareholders of significant upside potential in their investment.<br> *Consideration offered under the Hostile Bid is far below current market price*: Since the announcement of the Hostile Bid, the market price of the Common Shares has climbed over 133%, from closing at $1.35 per Common Share on April 13, 2026, to closing at $3.15 per Common Share on April 28, 2026. The Common Shares have traded well above the implied price offered under the Hostile Bid every day since the Hostile Bid was launched and traded at prices representing *more than double* the implied consideration. It is therefore clear that Shareholders and the market in general believe the Hostile Bid is inadequate, and American Eagle's advertised premium of 30.6% was "cherry picked" at a highly opportunistic time. <br> **2.** **Pacific Booker has received an inadequacy opinion from RCI Capital that, from a financial point of view, the Hostile Bid is not an adequate offer for Shareholders.** <br> On April 29, 2026, Pacific Booker's financial advisor, RCI Capital, delivered an opinion to the Board and the Special Committee, to the effect that, as of the date of the opinion, and based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications contained therein and such other matters as RCI Capital considered relevant, the consideration offered to Shareholders pursuant to the Hostile Bid is inadequate from a financial point of view to the Shareholders (other than American Eagle and its affiliates).<br> A copy of the written opinion of RCI Capital, which describes, among other things, the various assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications on the review undertaken, is attached to this Directors' Circular as Appendix "A". The opinion was provided for the information and assistance of the Special Committee and the Board (in their respective capacities as such) in connection <br>

<br> <sup>4</sup> Refer to Appendix "C" for the Company's mineral resource estimate, derived from the Technical Report.

&nbsp;&nbsp;16<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;with their evaluation of the Hostile Bid and their determination as to whether or not to recommend shareholder acceptance of the Hostile Bid. The opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any Shareholder as to whether to tender their Common Shares pursuant to the Hostile Bid or as to any other action to be undertaken with respect to any matters relating to the Hostile Bid or otherwise.<br> The Board recommends that you read the opinion carefully and in its entirety for a description of the procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the reviews undertaken.<br> **3.** **The Hostile Bid's share consideration exposes Shareholders to a company with inferior assets.** <br> The consideration offered under the Hostile Bid is comprised entirely of shares of American Eagle, a pre-revenue, exploration-stage company. American Eagle has no mineral resource or reserve estimates at its NAK project or elsewhere, no history of mineral production, negative operating cash flow, and is dependent on third-party financing. American Eagle reported a net loss of approximately $7.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. There is significant risk to Pacific Booker shareholders in accepting American Eagle shares, since there is insufficient drilling to determine the ultimate average grade and continuity of the mineralization at the NAK project. Assuming American Eagle would be valued at the mid-range of the peer group, it would need to produce a mineral resource estimate of approximately the same size as Morrison in order to justify its current market value, which is a highly uncertain outcome.<br> Moreover, American Eagle opted to make the Hostile Bid and file the American Eagle Circular mere days before its audited annual financial statements were due to be filed, compromising the ability of Shareholders to properly value the Offeror Common Shares and leaving Shareholders with nearly seven month old financial information which may no longer accurately reflect the Offeror's financial state.<br> **4.** **The standalone case has strong upside potential for Shareholders; Superior offers or other alternatives also have the potential to emerge.** <br> Management and the Board firmly believe in the strength of Pacific Booker's stand-alone plan which is positioned to deliver substantial long-term value to Shareholders. The Pacific Booker Board and management are exploring various standalone scenarios, including structured re-engagement with First Nations stakeholders. The willingness of the Lake Babine Nation to work with American Eagle suggests that it is not opposed to mineral development if can work with the right project proponent on the right terms. The Pacific Booker Board is open to resetting the engagement with the Nation in a constructive and respectful way.<br> Notwithstanding the above, the Board, consistent with its fiduciary duties, continuously reviews and evaluates potential strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value. While the Board believes in the stand-alone plan and the strength of the long-term strategy, the Board acknowledges that the Hostile Bid may act as a catalyst to uncover additional opportunities or interested parties. Should a superior proposal or alternative transactions arise, the Board is fully prepared to evaluate these options and present them transparently to Shareholders. <br> We highlight that there may be alternative transaction structures that allow Shareholders to retain exposure to significant upside of the strong asset base. These options could include, but are not limited to, strategic joint ventures, royalty agreements, streaming transactions or other forms of partnership that align with <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;17<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;Pacific Booker's long-term growth strategy. Such alternatives would enable Shareholders to participate in the continued success of the business while unlocking further value. <br> In this regard, Pacific Booker has engaged RCI Capital as its financial advisor to manage a broader strategic review process aimed at exploring and considering potential strategic alternative transactions to the Hostile Bid. The fact is, Pacific Booker's high-quality assets and technical expertise would fit well and complement the portfolios of many companies, and other operators would be well positioned to realize significant synergies through a combination with Pacific Booker. As part of the strategic review, the Company intends to prepare a new preliminary economic assessment on the Morrison Project to, among other things, update the assumptions contained in the Technical Report.<br> The Hostile Bid is open for acceptance until July 29, 2026, and remains subject to numerous conditions. Accordingly, Shareholders should be patient and understand that tendering their Common Shares to the Hostile Bid before Pacific Booker has had an opportunity to fully explore available potential alternatives to the Hostile Bid may preclude a financially superior transaction from emerging.<br> **5.** **The Hostile Bid contains extraordinary conditionality.** <br> The Hostile Bid contains a significant number of conditions which must be satisfied or waived before American Eagle is obligated to take up and pay for any Common Shares tendered. Many of the conditions are not subject to materiality thresholds or any other objective criteria, but rather are in American Eagle's discretion. These conditions, in effect, provide American Eagle with an unfair option to decline or proceed with its offer, constituting the grant to American Eagle of a unilateral and discretionary option to acquire all of the Common Shares at a price that the Board views as inadequate with Shareholders bearing the risk of non-completion. <br> Furthermore, the Hostile Bid is subject to receipt of a number of regulatory approvals. Notably, before American Eagle can take up and pay for any Common Shares deposited under the Hostile Bid, the Registration Statement must be declared effective under the U.S. Securities Act and not subject to a stop order or proceeding seeking a stop order. There can be no assurance that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission will declare the Registration Statement effective on a timely basis prior to the Expiry Time or at all.<br> **6.** **American Eagle's plans lack certainty.** <br> The American Eagle Circular claims that the Hostile Bid will provide a better outcome for Shareholders, including as a result of coordinated development between its NAK project and the Morrison Project.<br> In reality, American Eagle does not control any ground or any of the lands between its NAK project and the Morrison Project. American Eagle's idea of coordinated development with NAK is premature, and there are no obvious synergies currently considering Morrison has published economic study while NAK is only at an exploration stage. Moreover, there is no certainty that American Eagle can obtain rights to allow any form of co-development between the two projects.<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;18<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;Similarly, while American Eagle indicates it has the support of the Lake Babine Nation to pursue the Morrison Project and reset negotiations regarding Morrison, there is no certainty that this support will in fact materialize and translation to support for permitting with the British Columbia government.<br> American Eagle does not have a management profile of development nor operating talent. Management is principally focused on exploration and a first mineral resource estimate; they have not demonstrated that they have the experience necessary to advance projects to development, let alone production, status.<br> **CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION**<br> For the principal reasons outlined above, the Pacific Booker Board, based on the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee comprised of independent directors, and after receiving advice from its financial and legal advisors, has unanimously concluded that the Hostile Bid is inadequate, does not reflect full and fair value for the Common Shares and is not in the best interests of Pacific Booker or its Shareholders.<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;**Accordingly, the Pacific Booker Board** **UNANIMOUSLY** **recommends that Shareholders** **REJECT** **the Hostile Bid and** **NOT TENDER** **their Common Shares.**<br>**Any Shareholder who has tendered his or her Common Shares under the Hostile Bid should** **WITHDRAW** **those Common Shares.**<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;The foregoing summary of the information and factors considered by the Special Committee and the Pacific Booker Board in reaching their conclusions and recommendations is not intended to be exhaustive. The members of the Special Committee and the Pacific Booker Board evaluated the various factors summarized above in light of their own knowledge of the business, financial condition and prospects of Pacific Booker, and based upon the advice of the Pacific Booker Board's financial and legal advisors and the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee. In view of the numerous factors considered in connection with the evaluation of the Hostile Bid, the Special Committee and the Pacific Booker Board did not find it practicable to, and did not, quantify or otherwise attempt to assign relative weight to specific factors in reaching their conclusions and recommendations. In addition, individual members of the Special Committee and Pacific Booker Board may have given different weight to different factors. The conclusions and unanimous recommendations of the Special Committee and Pacific Booker Board were made after considering all of the information and factors involved.<br> **REJECTION OF THE HOSTILE BID**<br> **To** **REJECT** **the Hostile Bid, you do not need to do anything.** If you have tendered your Common Shares to the Hostile Bid, you can withdraw them until they are taken up under the Hostile Bid. The Pacific Booker Board recommends that you withdraw any tendered Common Shares immediately. To withdraw your tendered Common Shares, simply ask your broker or contact Laurel Hill Advisory Group (by calling 1-877-452-7184 (toll-free in North America) or 1-416-304-0211 (collect calls outside North America), by texting "INFO" to either number, or by email at assistance@laurelhill.com).

Shareholders who are in doubt as to how to respond to the Hostile Bid should consult with their professional advisors, or Laurel Hill Advisory Group. Acceptance of the Hostile Bid may have tax consequences specific to the circumstances of individual Shareholders and you should consult your own professional tax advisors. Inquiries concerning information in this Directors' Circular should be directed to Pacific Booker's strategic shareholder advisor and information agent, Laurel Hill Advisory Group, by calling 1-877-452-7184 (toll-free in North America) or 1-416-304-0211 (collect calls outside North America), by texting "INFO" to either number, or by email at assistance@laurelhill.com. Laurel Hill Advisory Group's contact information is also listed on the back page of this Directors' Circular.<br> **OPINION OF THE FINANCIAL ADVISOR**<br> RCI Capital was formally engaged by Pacific Booker to act as financial advisor to Pacific Booker and the Pacific Booker Board. Under the terms of the RCI Engagement Agreement, RCI Capital has agreed to provide Pacific Booker and the Pacific Booker Board with various advisory services including in connection with the Hostile Bid and, among other things, the provision of its opinion as to the adequacy or inadequacy (as the case may be), from a financial point of view, of the consideration offered to the Shareholders under the Hostile Bid.<br> On April 29, 2026, RCI Capital delivered its opinion to the Special Committee and the Pacific Booker Board to the effect that, as of the date thereof, and based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications contained therein and such other matters as RCI Capital considered relevant, the consideration offered to the Shareholders (other than American Eagle and its affiliates) under the Hostile Bid was inadequate, from a financial point of view, to such Shareholders.<br> A copy of the written opinion of RCI Capital, which describes, among other things, the various assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, is attached to this Directors' Circular as Appendix "A".<br> All summaries and references to the opinion delivered by RCI Capital in this Directors' Circular are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion. Shareholders are strongly encouraged to read the written opinion delivered by RCI Capital carefully and in its entirety for a description of the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications on the review undertaken. The opinion of RCI Capital addresses only the fairness of the consideration offered under the Hostile Bid to the Shareholders from a financial point of view. The opinion was provided for the information and assistance of the Special Committee and the Pacific Booker Board for its exclusive use only in connection with their evaluation of the Hostile Bid. Nothing contained in the opinion is to be construed as a legal interpretation, an opinion on any contract or document, or a recommendation to invest or divest, or approve or vote in favour of or against any transaction. Additionally, the opinion is not, and should not be construed as, advice as to the price at which the Common Shares may trade on any future date. The opinion was only one of a number of factors taken into consideration by the Special Committee and the Board in making their respective unanimous determinations that the Hostile Bid is inadequate and <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;20<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;is not in the best interests of Pacific Booker or its Shareholders, and the Board's recommendation that Shareholders reject the Hostile Bid and not tender their Common Shares.<br> Pursuant to the terms of the RCI Engagement Agreement, RCI Capital will receive a fixed fee for rendering the opinion, which is in no way contingent upon the opinion being favourable or upon a successful rejection of the Hostile Bid. Pacific Booker has agreed to pay RCI Capital an additional fixed fee upon completion of any subsequent opinions it may deliver. RCI Capital will also receive a fee for its advisory services, which fee is contingent upon a change of control of Pacific Booker or certain other events, including the acquisition of the Common Shares, the non-completion of an unsolicited take-over bid for the Common Shares, the sale of all or substantially all of Pacific Booker's assets or a merger, amalgamation, plan of arrangement, consolidation, reorganization or other business combination. Pacific Booker has also agreed to reimburse RCI Capital for its reasonable expenses and to indemnify RCI Capital against certain liabilities that might arise out of its engagement.<br> Neither RCI Capital nor any of its affiliates is an insider, associate or affiliate (as those terms are defined in the Securities Act) of Pacific Booker, American Eagle or any of their respective associates or affiliates (collectively, the "**Interested Parties**").<br> RCI Capital has not been engaged to provide any financial advisory services nor has it participated in any financings involving the Interested Parties within the past two years, other than acting as financial advisor to Pacific Booker pursuant to the RCI Engagement Agreement. <br> There are no understandings, agreements or commitments between RCI Capital and Pacific Booker or American Eagle, or any other Interested Party, with respect to any future business dealings. RCI Capital may, in the future, in the ordinary course of business, perform financial advisory or investment banking services to one or more of the Interested Parties from time to time in return for such fees or other compensation as may be agreed to at the time.<br> **BACKGROUND TO THE HOSTILE BID AND RESPONSE OF PACIFIC BOOKER**<br> The Pacific Booker Board believes that it is important for Shareholders to understand the context in which the Hostile Bid was made in order to better understand the rationale for its response to the Hostile Bid and recommendation to **REJECT** the Hostile Bid as set out in this Directors**'** Circular. The key events and prior discussions that led to the commencement of the Hostile Bid are as described below.<br> Since 2024 and prior to making the Hostile Bid, American Eagle approached the Company on several occasions seeking to acquire the Morrison Project. On each occasion, the Company determined that the consideration being offered was not acceptable and did not reflect the full value of the Morrison Project or the best interests of Pacific Booker and its Shareholders.<br> Despite being advised on multiple occasions that its proposals were not acceptable, American Eagle continued to submit revised proposals that did not meaningfully improve upon its initial offer. The Company reviewed each successive proposal and, in each instance, communicated to American Eagle that the proposed consideration remained insufficient to form the basis for a transaction involving the Morrison Project.<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;21<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;Pacific Booker further communicated to American Eagle that, in the absence of a proposal within a range that the Pacific Booker Board could reasonably consider to be reflective of the fair value of the Morrison Project, there was no constructive basis on which to engage in further discussions or to convene a meeting with the Pacific Booker Board. <br> Notwithstanding the Company's clear and consistent communications regarding the inadequacy of American Eagle's proposals, American Eagle elected to proceed with the Hostile Bid directly to Shareholders rather than present a proposal on terms that the Pacific Booker Board could reasonably consider and evaluate. The Hostile Bid was commenced without American Eagle having first presented a proposal at a level that the Pacific Booker Board considered sufficient to warrant engagement or further discussions.<br> On April 14, 2026, American Eagle formally commenced the Hostile Bid and filed the American Eagle Circular.<br> The Company initially contacted RCI Capital regarding a potential advisory assignment the week of April 20, 2026, and RCI Capital was formally engaged by the Company on April 22, 2026, pursuant to the RCI Engagement Agreement. <br> On April 27, 2026, the Pacific Booker Board met to consider the Hostile Bid and related matters, including Pacific Booker's response thereto (the "**April 27 Meeting**"). At the April 27 Meeting, the Pacific Booker Board approved the appointment of Jonthan McCullough as an independent director of the Company and formed the Special Committee comprised of Jonathan McCullough and Gregory Anderson, each of whom are independent directors of Pacific Booker. The mandate of the Special Committee is to, among other things, assess, consider and review the Hostile Bid, consider alternative transactions or strategies to maximize Shareholder value, oversee the process relating to the Hostile Bid and any possible alternative transactions (including, if determined appropriate by the Special Committee, to conduct, or to supervise the negotiations of any agreements with counterparties) and make recommendations to the full Pacific Booker Board. The Special Committee was also given the power to retain financial, legal and other advisors.<br> At the April 27 Meeting, the Company also retained Bennett Jones as its legal advisor and Laurel Hill Advisory Group as strategic shareholder advisor and information agent. RCI Capital subsequently provided the Pacific Booker Board with commercial and financial background with respect to the Hostile Bid and Bennett Jones discussed certain legal considerations in the context of the Hostile Bid.<br> On April 28, 2026, Pacific Booker issued a news release in response to the Hostile Bid, cautioning its Shareholders that Shareholders need not take any action at that time. Pacific Booker also announced that Mr. McCullough had been appointed to the Pacific Booker Board and that the Special Committee had been established. On the same day, the Special Committee met and appointed Jonathan McCullough as Chair of the Special Committee and Gregory Anderson as Secretary of the Special Committee, discussed the compensation of the members, and engaged with representatives of RCI Capital to review strategic matters related to the response to the Hostile Bid.<br> On April 29, 2026, the Special Committee met with the Company's legal and financial advisors. At the meeting, the Special Committee reviewed, with assistance from Bennett Jones, the Company's legal <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;22<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;advisor, the material terms and conditions of the Hostile Bid, the contents of the American Eagle Circular and the Special Committee's fiduciary duties in the circumstances, among other considerations in connection with the Hostile Bid. Also at the April 29, 2026 meeting, RCI Capital reviewed with the Special Committee certain financial matters and rendered an oral opinion to the Special Committee, confirmed by delivery of a written opinion (a copy of which is attached as Appendix "A" to this Directors' Circular), to the effect that, as of such date and based on and subject to various assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications on the review undertaken described in such opinion, the consideration of 1.41 Offeror Common Shares per Common Share offered to Shareholders (other than American Eagle and its affiliates) pursuant to the Hostile Bid was inadequate, from a financial point of view, to such Shareholders. After a thorough and careful review and consideration of the best interests of Pacific Booker and the impact on, and consideration of, Shareholders and the Company's other stakeholders, and having taken into account numerous factors including, but not limited to, the reasons set forth under the heading "*Reasons for Rejecting the Hostile Bid*", the Special Committee concluded that the Hostile Bid is inadequate and not in the best interests of Pacific Booker or its Shareholders. The Special Committee then approved in principle the reasons for rejection of the Hostile Bid substantially as set out in this Directors' Circular and recommended to the Pacific Booker Board that it recommend that Shareholders reject the Hostile Bid.<br> On April 29, 2026, immediately following the Special Committee meeting, the Pacific Booker Board met with its legal and financial advisors and, after a thorough and careful review and consideration of the best interests of Pacific Booker and the impact on, and consideration of, Shareholders and the Company's other stakeholders, including a thorough review of the Hostile Bid and the American Eagle Circular, and after receiving the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee and an oral opinion from RCI Capital, confirmed by delivery of a written opinion dated April 29, 2026 (a copy of which is attached as Appendix "A" to this Directors' Circular), to the effect that, as of such date and based on and subject to various assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications on the review undertaken described in such opinion, the consideration of 1.41 Offeror Common Shares per Common Share offered to Shareholders (other than American Eagle and its affiliates) pursuant to the Hostile Bid was inadequate, from a financial point of view, to such Shareholders, as well as a thorough review of other matters discussed elsewhere in this Directors' Circular and having taken into account numerous factors including, but not limited to, the reasons set forth under the heading "*Reasons for Rejecting the Hostile Bid*", the Pacific Booker Board determined that the Hostile Bid is inadequate and is not in the best interests of Pacific Booker or its Shareholders, and decided to recommend that Shareholders **REJECT** the Hostile Bid by **TAKING NO ACTION**.<br> **ALTERNATIVES TO THE HOSTILE BID**<br> The Pacific Booker Board, through the Special Committee and consistent with its fiduciary duties, is evaluating with its financial advisors a broad range of options and considering other strategic alternatives. Such strategic alternatives may include, but are not limited to, possible change of control transactions with one or more third parties, partnerships with strategic or financial partners or Pacific Booker remaining independent and continuing its current strategy to increase Shareholder value as a stand-alone publicly-traded company. Accordingly, the Pacific Booker Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders **DO NOT TAKE ANY ACTION** to ensure that Shareholders are able to consider all of the options available <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;23<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;to them, including any options that may arise as a result of any superior offers being made by one or more third parties.<br> While there can be no assurance that other alternatives will emerge from these activities, the Pacific Booker Board believes that Pacific Booker has unique assets, and that its business (including its core assets) is very attractive to other parties in addition to American Eagle. Shareholders are encouraged to wait for the results of the Special Committee's efforts to explore available alternatives. **Accordingly, Shareholders are advised not to tender their Common Shares to the Hostile Bid. As the Hostile Bid is open for acceptance until July 29, 2026, there is no need for Shareholders to take any action with respect to the Hostile Bid at this time. If you have already tendered your Common Shares to the Hostile Bid, you can withdraw them.**<br> **HOW TO WITHDRAW YOUR DEPOSITED COMMON SHARES**<br> To reject the Hostile Bid, you do not need to take any action. Shareholders who have already tendered their Common Shares to the Hostile Bid can withdraw them at any time before their Common Shares have been taken up and paid for by the Offeror pursuant to the Hostile Bid.<br> Shareholders who hold Common Shares through a brokerage firm should contact their broker to withdraw their Common Shares on their behalf. If the Common Shares have been deposited pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer, as set out in Section 3 of the Hostile Bid, "*Manner of Acceptance – Acceptance by Book-Entry Transfer – CDS and/or DTC*", any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. ("**CDS**") or the Depository Trust Company ("**DTC**"), as applicable, to be credited with the withdrawn Common Shares and otherwise comply with the procedures of CDS or DTC, as applicable.<br> For assistance in withdrawing your Common Shares, you should contact your broker or Laurel Hill Advisory Group, the strategic shareholder advisor and information agent retained by Pacific Booker, by North American toll free phone at 1-877-452-7184, local and text: 1-416-304-0211 or by email at assistance@laurelhill.com.

&nbsp;&nbsp;**APPENDIX "A"**<br>**OPINION OF RCI CAPITAL GROUP INC.**<br> April 29, 2026<br> The Special Committee of the Board of Directors<br> Pacific Booker Minerals Inc.<br> 1166 Alberni St. Suite 1203<br> Vancouver, BC, V6E 3Z3<br> To the Special Committee of the Board of Directors:<br> **INADEQUACY OPINION**<br> RCI Capital Group Inc. ("**RCI**"), understands that American Eagle Gold Corp. ("**American Eagle**") has made an offer (the "**American Eagle Offer**") to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares (the "**Common Shares**") of Pacific Booker Minerals Inc. (the "**Company**") not already owned by American Eagle or its affiliates for consideration per Common Share of 1.41 of a common share of American Eagle (the "**American Eagle Shares**"). The consideration of the American Eagle Offer is detailed in a take-over bid circular dated April 14, 2026 (the "**American Eagle Circular**"), which has been mailed to holders of the Common Shares (the "**Shareholders**") in connection with the American Eagle Offer. <br> RCI understands that the board of directors (the "**Board**") of the Company has formed a special committee comprised of independent directors (the "**Special Committee**") to consider the American Eagle Offer and make recommendations thereon to the Board. The Special Committee has retained RCI to provide advice and assistance to the Special Committee in evaluating the American Eagle Offer, including the preparation and delivery, to the Special Committee and the Board, of RCI's opinion (the "**Opinion**") as to the fairness of the consideration under the American Eagle Offer from a financial point of view to the Shareholders (other than American Eagle and its affiliates). <br> RCI has not prepared a valuation of the Company or any of its securities or assets and the Opinion should not be construed as such. <br> Engagement <br> The Company initially contacted RCI regarding a potential advisory assignment the week of April 20, 2026, and RCI was formally engaged by the Special Committee through an agreement between the Special Committee and RCI (the "**Engagement Agreement**") dated April 22, 2026. The terms of the Engagement Agreement provide that RCI is to be paid a fee for its services as financial advisor, including fees that are contingent on a change of control of the Company or certain other events, including the non-completion of an unsolicited take-over bid for the Common Shares. In addition, RCI is to be reimbursed for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and to be indemnified by the Company in certain circumstances. RCI consents to the inclusion of the Opinion in the directors' circular to be mailed to the Shareholders (the "**Directors' Circular**") and to the filing thereof, as necessary, by the Company with the securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in each province of Canada. <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;professional judgment and except as expressly described herein, we have not attempted to verify independently the completeness, accuracy or fair presentation of any of the Information. <br> Senior officers of the Company have represented to RCI in a certificate delivered as of the date hereof, among other things, that (i) the Information (as defined above) provided to RCI orally by, or in the presence of, any officer or employee of the Company, or in writing by the Company, any of its affiliates or any of their respective agents or advisors, for the purpose of preparing the Opinion was, at the date provided to RCI, and is at the date hereof complete, true and correct in all material respects, and did not and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact, and did not and does not omit to state any material fact necessary to make the Information, or any statement contained therein, not misleading in light of the circumstances in which it was provided to RCI; and that (ii) since the dates on which the Information was provided to RCI, except as disclosed in writing to RCI, there has been no material change or change in material facts, financial or otherwise, in or relating to the financial condition, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), business, operations or prospects of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and there has been no material change in the Information or other material change or change in material facts, in each case, that might reasonably be considered material to the Opinion.<br> In preparing the Opinion, RCI has made several assumptions, including that all of the conditions required to implement the American Eagle Offer will be met and that the disclosure provided or incorporated by reference in the American Eagle Circular and Draft Directors' Circular with respect to the Company, American Eagle, their respective subsidiaries and affiliates and the American Eagle Offer is accurate in all material respects.<br> The Opinion is rendered on the basis of securities markets, economic, financial and general business conditions prevailing as at the date hereof and the condition and prospects, financial and otherwise, of the Company, American Eagle and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, as they were reflected in the Information and as they have been represented to RCI in discussions with management of the Company. <br> In its analyses and in preparing the Opinion, RCI made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of RCI or any party involved in the American Eagle Offer. <br> The Opinion has been provided for the use of the Special Committee and the Board and may not be used by any other person or relied upon by any other person other than the Special Committee and the Board without the express prior written consent of RCI. <br> The Opinion is given as of the date hereof and RCI disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting the Opinion which may come or be brought to RCI's attention after the date hereof. <br> Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that there is any material change in any fact or matter affecting the Opinion after the date hereof, RCI reserves the right to change, modify or withdraw the Opinion. <br> RCI believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of the analyses or the factors considered by it, without considering all factors and analyses together, could create a misleading view of the process underlying the Opinion. The preparation of a fairness Opinion is a complex process and<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;A-5<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Any attempt to do so could lead to undue emphasis on any particular factor or analysis. The Opinion is not to be construed as a recommendation to any Shareholder as to whether to tender its Common Shares to the American Eagle Offer. <br> Fairness Conclusion <br> Based upon and subject to the foregoing, RCI is of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, the consideration under the American Eagle Offer is inadequate from a financial point of view to the Shareholders (other than American Eagle and its affiliates). <br> Yours very truly, <br> RCI Capital Group Inc.<br>
