The Corporation reserves the right to take any additional precautionary measures it deems appropriate in relation to the Meeting in response to further developments in respect of the COVID-19 outbreak, including changing the Meeting date, time, location and/or means of holding the Meeting. Such changes will be announced by way of news release. Shareholders are advised to monitor the Corporation's website at www.maverixmetals.com or the Corporation's profile, in Canada, on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and, in the United States, on EDGAR, at www.sec.gov, where copies of such news releases, if any, will be posted. Shareholders are advised to check the Corporation's website regularly for the most current information. The Corporation does not intend to prepare an amended Circular in the event of changes to the Meeting format. We encourage Shareholders to vote their Common Shares prior to the Meeting by any of the means described in this Circular and to attend the Meeting virtually.

Notice-and-Access

The Corporation will deliver this Notice of Meeting and Circular, a Proxy and related documents (collectively, the 'Meeting Materials') to Shareholders by posting the Meeting Materials on its website at www.maverixmetals.com. The Meeting Materials will also be available under the Corporation's profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) and in the United States, on EDGAR (www.sec.gov) on April [•], 2021. The Meeting Materials will remain on the Corporation's website for one full year.

The Corporation will continue to mail paper copies of this Circular and other proxy-related materials to those registered and non-registered Shareholders who previously elected to receive paper copies of such materials. All other Shareholders will receive a notice package (the 'Notice Package') which will contain information on how to obtain electronic and paper copies of this Circular and other proxy-related materials in advance of the Meeting as well as how to vote.

The Corporation has sent a Notice Package containing a Notice-and-Access notification and an accompanying Proxy, in the case of registered Shareholders, or VIF, in the case of non-registered Shareholders, as applicable, directly to its registered Shareholders and those non-registered Shareholders that have consented to allow their addresses to be provided to the Corporation ('NOBOs'). The Corporation will not use procedures known as 'stratification' in relation to the use of Notice-and-Access, meaning that both registered and non-registered Shareholders will be mailed a Notice Package. The Corporation does not intend to pay for intermediaries such as stockbrokers, securities dealers, banks, trust companies, trustees and their agents and nominees to forward the Notice Package to those non-registered Shareholders that have refused to allow their address to be provided to the Corporation ('OBOs'). Accordingly, OBOs will not receive the Notice Package unless their respective intermediaries assume the cost of forwarding such documents to them.

These securityholder materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered owners of the securities. If you are a non-registered owner, and the Corporation or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities, have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding on your behalf.

By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Corporation (and not the intermediary holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the request for voting instructions.

Shareholders who wish to receive more information about Notice-and-Access or to receive paper copies of the Circular or other proxy-related materials may contact the Corporation's Transfer Agent by calling toll-free at 1-866-600-5869 or the Corporation's Corporate Secretary by email at info@maverixmetals.com. Requested materials will be sent to the requesting Shareholders at no cost to them within three business days of their request, if such requests are made before the Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof.

Other Matters

VOTING INFORMATION

Solicitation of Proxies

The solicitation of proxies is made on behalf of Management. It is expected that the solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail pursuant to Notice-and-Access (as defined below), but proxies may also be solicited personally, by telephone, e-mail, internet, facsimile or other means of communication by regular officers, employees and agents of the Corporation at nominal cost. The cost of solicitation by Management will be borne directly by the Corporation.

4

Record Date

The record date for the Meeting is March 24, 2021 (the 'Record Date').

Notice to Shareholders in the United States

The solicitation of proxies involves securities of an issuer located in Canada and is being effected and disclosed in accordance with the corporate laws of Canada and securities laws of the provinces of Canada. The proxy solicitation rules under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are not applicable to the Corporation or this solicitation. Shareholders should be aware that disclosure requirements under the securities laws of the provinces of Canada differ from the disclosure requirements under United States securities laws.

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

Appointment of Proxyholder

A proxy is an instrument used to designate persons who will vote on behalf of a Shareholder in accordance with the instructions given by the Shareholder in the proxy. The proxy nominees named in the enclosed form of proxy are officers and/or directors of the Corporation. A Shareholder has the right to appoint a person other than the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy to attend and act on such Shareholder's behalf at the Meeting. To exercise this right, the Shareholder may either insert the name of such other person or company in the blank space provided in the enclosed form of proxy or complete and submit another form of proxy acceptable to the Corporation. A proxyholder does not have to be a Shareholder.

Unless specifically directed in a proxy to withhold the Common Shares represented by the proxy from a ballot or show of hands, the persons named as proxyholders in such proxy shall vote the Common Shares represented by the Proxy on each ballot or show of hands. Where a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon has been specified in a proxy, the Common Shares will be voted in accordance with the specifications so made.

In the absence of any instructions on the form of proxy or if such instructions are unclear, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy will vote the Common Shares represented by the form of proxy FOR each matter identified on the form of proxy, in each case as more particularly described elsewhere in this Circular.

A proxy, when properly completed and delivered and not revoked, confers discretionary authority upon the person or company 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. If amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting are properly brought before the Meeting or any further or other matter of business is properly brought before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy to vote in accordance with their best judgement on such matter of business. At the time of the printing of this Circular, Management knows of no such amendment, variation or other matter which may be presented at the Meeting.

Proxy Voting - Registered Shareholders

A person or company whose name appears on the books and records of the Corporation is a 'registered shareholder'. A registered Shareholder may vote their Common Shares at the Meeting either in person or by proxy. Only registered Shareholders and proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting.

Please review the enclosed form of proxy carefully for additional information and resources for assistance. To be effective, a proxy must be received by TSX Trust no later than 2:00 p.m. (Vancouver Time) two days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and statutory holidays) before the Meeting.

Voting Instructions for Registered Shareholders:

· Attend the Meeting and vote the shares in person. A registered shareholder must register or advise the Corporation upon arrival at the Meeting;

· by telephone or internet, as instructed in the enclosed form of proxy, not later than Tuesday, May 11, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. (Vancouver Time).

Proxy Voting - Non-Registered or Beneficial Shareholders

A 'non-registered' shareholder or a 'beneficial shareholder' is a person or company whose shares of the Corporation are not registered directly in their name but instead are registered in the name of a brokerage firm, bank or trust company through which the shares were purchased or with who the shares were deposited. More particularly, a person is not a registered shareholder in respect of shares which are held on behalf of that person (the 'Beneficial Shareholder') but which are registered either: (a) in the name of an intermediary (an 'Intermediary') that the Beneficial Shareholder deals with in respect of the shares, or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited) of which the Intermediary is a participant.

There are two kinds of Beneficial Shareholders - those who object to their names being made known to the issuers of securities which they own ('OBOs' for Objecting Beneficial Owners) and those who do not object to the issuers of the securities they own knowing who they are ('NOBOs' for Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners).

Voting Instructions for Beneficial Shareholders:

· NOBOs will receive the Meeting Materials as requested directly from TSX Trust. NOBOs should complete and return their voting instructions in accordance with the Voting Information Form ('VIF') provided by TSX Trust.
· OBOs will receive the Meeting Materials from their broker or from another Intermediary such as Broadridge Investor Communications Corporation, provided that their respective Intermediary has assumed the cost of forwarding such Meeting Materials to them. OBOs should complete and return their voting instructions in accordance with the VIF provided to them.

6

A Beneficial Shareholder cannot use the VIF provided to vote directly at the Meeting. Should a Beneficial Shareholder wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person or via teleconference, the Beneficial Shareholder must insert his or her name (or the name of such other person as the Beneficial Shareholder wishes to attend and vote on his or her behalf) in the blank space provided for that purpose on the VIF and return the completed VIF in accordance with the instructions provided well in advance of the Meeting.

Only registered shareholders have the right to revoke a Proxy. Beneficial Shareholders of shares who wish to change their vote must, in sufficient time in advance of the Meeting, arrange for their respective Intermediaries to change their vote and if necessary, revoke their Proxy in accordance with the revocation procedures set out in this Circular.

Amendment to Stock Option and Compensation Share Plan

The Corporation established a stock option and compensation share plan in 2016, which plan was subsequently amended, restated and approved by the shareholders of the Corporation on June 30, 2020 (as amended and restated, the 'Option Plan') in order to make the terms of the Option Plan consistent with the provisions of the TSX Company Manual and other TSX-listed companies generally. The Option Plan provides for the reservation of a fixed number of Common Shares to be issued thereunder.

The Option Plan allows the Corporation to provide long-term incentives to retain, motivate and reward the services of key personnel. For the Corporation and the industry in which it operates, the granting of stock options and or the issuance of compensation shares continue to be an important and common form of compensation among the Corporation's peers. Details of the current Option Plan are included under the section titled 'Executive Compensation - Long Term Incentive Plan' in this Circular.

The Option Plan currently provides that a maximum of 7,500,000 Common Shares are issuable pursuant to incentive stock options ('Options') or compensation shares ('Compensation Shares') that are granted or issued thereunder, which represents 5.3% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares at the Record Date. In addition, the Option Plan currently provides that a maximum of 2,500,000 Compensation Shares may be issued under the Option Plan (the 'Compensation Share Limit').

Currently the number of Common Shares which may be issued under the Option Plan, together with the Amended and Restated Restricted Share Unit Plan dated June 30, 2020 (the 'RSU Plan'), in aggregate, shall not at any time exceed 10,500,000 Common Shares (7.4% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares as at the Record Date). If the Plan Amendments (as defined below) are approved, then the number of Common Shares which may be issued under the Option Plan, together with the RSU Plan, in aggregate, shall not at any time exceed 13,000,000 (9.2% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares as at the Record Date). The Compensation Share Limit will not be amended. The Board has approved, subject to approval of the Plan Amendments, a 'house-keeping' amendment to the RSU Plan to state the new aggregate limit of 13,000,000 Common Shares between the Option Plan and the RSU Plan.

10

As at the Record Date:

· a total of 5,538,338 Options and 626,092 Compensation Shares have been granted or awarded under the Option Plan since the Option Plan's inception.
· 1,940,895 Common Shares have been issued pursuant to the exercise of Options since the Option Plan's inception.
· 3,479,533 Common Shares are issuable pursuant to outstanding Options that have not yet been exercised,
· 117,910 Options have been cancelled under the Option Plan since the Option Plan's inception and are again available for grant; and
· 1,453,480 Common Shares remain available for grant or issuance pursuant to future awards under the current limits of the Option Plan, representing 1.0% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.

Based on the current number of Common Shares available for grant or issuance under the Option Plan and the current annual rate of grant and issuance, the Board recommends increasing the aggregate number of Common Shares reserved under the Option Plan by 5,066,987 Common Shares as follows:

(i) increasing the maximum number of Common Shares that are issuable under the Option Plan pursuant to Options and Compensation Shares from 7,500,000 to 10,000,000, which increase of 2,500,000 Common Shares represents 1.8% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as at the Record Date; and
(ii) increasing the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance by 2,566,987 Common Shares that would replenish the Option Plan for previously exercised Options and previously awarded Compensation Shares, which number of Common Shares represents 1.8% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as at the Record Date;

(collectively the 'Plan Amendments').

If the Plan Amendments are approved by the Shareholders at the Meeting, the total number of Common Shares available for grant under the Option Plan would be 6,520,467, representing 4.6% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as at the Record Date.

On March 22, 2021, the Compensation Committee and the Board has each approved the Plan Amendments, subject to TSX and Shareholder approvals. The Plan Amendments have been conditionally approved by the TSX subject to receipt form the Corporation of, among other things, evidence of Shareholder approval.

Shareholders are being asked to consider, and if deemed advisable, to pass an ordinary resolution in the form set forth below to approve the Plan Amendments (the 'Option Plan Resolution'). A simple majority of the votes cast at the Meeting, whether in person or by Proxy, will constitute approval of the Option Plan Resolution. If the Option Plan Resolution is approved by Shareholders, the maximum number of shares issuable under the Option Plan from and after the date of the meeting will be 10,000,000.

2. the Plan be and is hereby amended to increase the total number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan by an additional 5,066,987 Shares, of which 2,566,987 will replenish previously exercised Options and granted or awarded Compensation Shares and 2,500,000 will increase the maximum number of Shares issuable pursuant to Options granted or Compensation Shares issued under the Plan to 10,000,000 Shares;
3. that the Corporation be authorized to reserve an additional 5,066,987 common shares in the capital of the Corporation to be issued upon the exercise of Options granted or Compensation Shares issued under the Plan; and
4. any director or officer of the Corporation be and is hereby authorized to execute and deliver such documents and instruments and to take such other actions as such director or officer may deem necessary or advisable to give effect to this resolution in his or her, as the case may be, entire discretion, his or her, as the case may be, determination being conclusively evidenced by the execution and delivery of such documents or instruments and the taking of such actions.'

For the reasons described above, the Board considers the Plan Amendments to be appropriate and in the best interests of the Corporation. The Board recommends that the Shareholders vote for the approval of the Option Plan Resolution.

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy, if not expressly directed to the contrary, intend to vote FOR the Option Plan Resolution.

DIRECTOR INFORMATION

Majority Voting Policy

The Board has adopted a majority voting policy (the 'Majority Voting Policy'), applicable only to uncontested elections of Directors, that provides that if any of the Nominees receives a greater number of votes withheld from his or her election than votes for election, that Nominee will promptly tender his or her resignation to the Chair following the Meeting. The Corporation's Nominating and Governance Committee will consider the offer of resignation and recommend to the Board whether to accept the resignation. Absent any exceptional circumstances, the Board will accept the resignation. A Nominee that tenders a resignation under the Majority Voting Policy will not participate in any meeting of the Board or any committee of the Board at which the resignation is considered.

12

Within 90 days of the relevant Shareholder meeting, the Board must make its determination whether or not to accept the resignation and issue a news release either announcing the resignation of the Nominee or explaining the reasons justifying the decision not to accept the resignation. If a resignation is tendered and accepted, subject to applicable corporate law, the Board may leave the vacancy unfilled or may appoint a new director.

The full text of the Majority Voting Policy is available on the Corporation's website at www.maverixmetals.com.

Director Compensation

The compensation of the Directors is designed to attract and retain individuals with the relevant skills and knowledge to serve on the Board. The Corporation's Director compensation will also serve to align the interests of the Directors with those of the Shareholders. The Director compensation program reflects the Corporation's relative size and reinforces the importance of Shareholder value. Director compensation takes into account the time commitment, duties, and responsibilities of the Directors and as well as being benchmarked against Director compensation practices at comparable companies.

While Director compensation amounts are not based on corporate performance, the Board has instituted an annual formal performance assessment process to ensure Director effectiveness and engagement. In addition, the Board has instituted a minimum required shareholding for the Company's Directors which is equal to three times the value of their annual retainer for being a member of the Board ('Board Shareholding Requirement'). Each Director has a period of three years to meet the Board Shareholder Requirement and as well any RSUs issued to a director will be counted towards the Board Shareholder Requirement. As of December 31, 2020, all members of the Board had met or surpassed this requirement. In addition, the Chief Executive Officer, who is also a member of the Board, does not receive any additional compensation for being a Director. Blake Rhodes, who is a representative of a major shareholder of the Corporation is not permitted to own stock as determined by internal policies of the shareholder he is employed by.

There are several elements to the Director compensation program:

(1) an annual retainer of $50,000 paid once per financial year, in advance. The annual retainer is payable in cash. The Chair of the Board receives an annual retainer of $200,000.

19

(2) an additional equity component of the annual retainer of $30,000 is paid once per financial year, in advance, and is payable in Restricted Share Units. The Chair of the Board receives an additional equity component of the annual retainer of $40,000.
(3) The following additional retainers are paid once per calendar year, in advance, in cash to the following persons:
(i) $12,000 to the Chair of the Audit Committee;
(ii) $12,000 to the Lead Director;

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Overview

The Corporation and the Board recognize the importance of corporate governance to achieve effective management of the Corporation and to protect employees and shareholders. The Corporation approaches corporate governance in such a way as to ensure that the business and affairs of the Corporation are not only effectively managed but that also shareholder value is enhanced. The Board meets at least once every quarter to review the Corporation's business operations, corporate governance matters, financial results and other matters. Depending on the Corporation's state of affairs and risk management, the Board may increase the frequency of meetings and or change items included on a particular agenda. The Directors are kept well informed of the Corporation's operations at each Board meeting and through reports and discussions with Management.

Where necessary, the Board will strike special committees of independent Directors to deal with matters requiring independence, including supervision over and review of the performance of Management. The composition of the Board is such that the independent Directors have significant experience in corporate affairs.

The Corporation's corporate governance practices have been and are currently compliant with applicable Canadian and United States requirements. The Corporation, through the Nominating and Governance Committee, monitors developments in Canada and the United States to ensure governance policies and procedures are up to date, as appropriate.

The Corporation is considered a 'foreign private issuer' and as such does not need to meet all the corporate governance standards of the NYSE American. The Corporation's governance practices do meet a majority of the NYSE American standards. Details on how the Corporation's practices differ from the NYSE American Standards can be found on the Corporation's website at www.maverixmetals.com and in the Corporation's most recent Form 40-F filing on www.sec.gov.

Board of Directors

The Board currently consists of nine directors: Geoff Burns, Daniel O'Flaherty, J.C. Stefan Spicer, Dr. Christopher Barnes, Robert Doyle, Blake Rhodes, Brian Penny, David Scott and Tara Hassan. Mr. Burns is the Chair of the Board.

Role of the Board

The Board has the responsibility for the stewardship of the Corporation, including primary responsibilities to supervise the management and oversee the conduct of the Corporation's business, provide leadership and direction to Management, set policies appropriate for the Corporation's business and approve corporate strategies and goals.

The Board has adopted a formal mandate. A copy of the Mandate of the Board is included as Appendix 'A' to this Circular and the full text of the Board's Mandate can be found on the Corporation's website at www.maverixmetals.com.

Board Independence

The Board has considered the relationships of each Director and determined that six of the nine members qualify as independent Directors.

Geoff Burns, J.C. Stefan Spicer, Dr. Christopher Barnes, Brian Penny, David Scott and Tara Hassan are independent. Daniel O'Flaherty is not independent as he is the CEO of the Corporation. Robert Doyle and Blake Rhodes are not independent by virtue of being the representatives of Pan American and Newmont, respectively, appointed to the Board.

The Board may excuse members of Management and conflicted Directors from all or a portion of any meeting where a conflict or potential conflict of interest arises, including in circumstances where the Board is considering transactions and agreements in respect of which a Director or Officer has a material interest, or where otherwise deemed appropriate.

In addition, the Board may also seek to schedule meetings at which non-independent directors and members of management are not in attendance. The Board does follow the general practice of requesting any members of management in attendance at a particular meeting to leave the meeting so that the Board may discuss certain items of business in camera.

Term Limits

The Corporation has not adopted term limits for the directors as it values the cumulative experience and comprehensive knowledge that long serving directors possess. The Corporation only became active in the precious metal, royalty and streaming sector in June of 2016 and has been rapidly growing and evolving over this relatively short period of time, and as such is of the view that adopting term limits, at this time, would not be in the Corporation's best interests.

Other Directorships

The following Directors are also directors of other reporting issuers as set out below:

The chair of each Committee is responsible for ensuring that the applicable Committee fulfills its responsibilities and duties under its respective mandate or charter.

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Corporation does not have a formal orientation and training program in place for new Directors. The Corporation utilizes a bespoke approach that focuses on the particular needs of the new Director appointed. Each new Director will receive information respecting the functioning of the Board and the Committees; copies of the Corporation's current corporate policies; access to documents from recent meetings of the Board and to recent public filings; all reports prepared by Management (including monthly operating reports and financial reports); access to Management; and, if requested, a summary of significant responsibilities under applicable laws.

23

The Corporation has procedures in place where Directors and Management are provided with updates to review and discuss in respect of current and emerging issues relating to corporate governance, accounting practices, financing, environmental, social and governance ('ESG') practices, and the resource industry in general.

Directors are encouraged to keep themselves current with industry trends, developments in legislation and to attend any industry seminars. The Corporation has obtained a board membership in the Institute of Corporate Directors, which will give Directors access to materials and seminars that will further bolster the Directors continuing education and development. The Directors have full access to all of the Corporation's records.

Directors are expected to attend all scheduled Board and Committee meetings in person or by telephonic means, to have prepared in advance of each meeting, and to stay for the entirety of a meeting. If an unforeseen circumstance occurs preventing a Director's attendance at a meeting, that Director is expected to contact the Chair of the Board or the Chair of the Committee or the Lead Director, as applicable, as soon as possible after the meeting for a briefing on the missed meeting.

Assessments

The Corporation has developed, in conjunction with the Nominating and Governance Committee, a Board Self-Assessment Questionnaire (the 'Assessment Questionnaire') which is sent annually to the Board for completion. The Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee will review the completed Assessment Questionnaires and report the results to the full Board at the next applicable meeting of the Board. The Nominating and Governance Committee will regularly review and update the Assessment Questionnaire.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board has adopted guidelines to encourage and promote a culture of ethical business conduct and promotes ethical business conduct through the nomination of Directors considered ethical, avoiding, or minimizing conflicts of interest and by having its Directors independent of corporate matters.

The Board has adopted a written code of Global Ethical Conduct. A copy of the Code is available on the Corporation's website, www.maverixmetals.com. The Nominating and Governance Committee will review the Code annually to ensure it continues to meet the standards of the Corporation. To date, the Corporation has not been required to disclose any departure from the Code by any of its Directors or Officers.

The Nominating and Governance Committee will request employees to review the Code annually and submit an affirmation of the employee's continued understanding and compliance with the Code.

Diversity Policy and Representation on the Board

The Corporation has adopted a Diversity Policy (the 'Diversity Policy') which sets out guidelines that the Corporation will follow to increase diversity in the recruitment, development of its employees and Directors. The Diversity Policy will promote successful operations supported by talented and knowledgeable persons with diverse backgrounds and perspectives.

The Board's Nominating and Governance Committee is tasked with oversight and monitoring of the application of the Diversity Policy and is responsible for reporting to the Board on governance matters, including diversity. The Nominating and Governance Committee works with the Board Chair and the Chief Executive Officer to manage succession planning and the making of recommendations to the Board for appointments to senior Management and the Board.

To achieve the objectives of the Diversity Policy, the Nominating and Governance Committee conducts a review of the Diversity Policy annually and will report annually to the Board on the Corporation's adherence to the Diversity Policy. In conducting its review, the Nominating and Governance Committee will consider the effectiveness of the Corporation's approach to diversity and make appropriate recommendations to the Board on the Corporation's approach.

The Corporation does not support the adoption of quotas for further diversity on the Board and in senior Management. Accordingly, the Diversity Policy does not establish any fixed targets or quotas regarding the representation of women, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities (within the meaning of the Employment Equity Act (Canada)) or visible minorities on the Board or in senior Management. Rather, Directors, Officers and employees will be recruited and promoted based upon their qualifications, abilities, and contributions. However, as detailed above, the Corporation is committed to fostering a diverse workplace. The Board will consider diversity in the selection criteria for new Directors. Since the adoption of the Diversity Policy, the Board has sought to identify diverse candidates for appointment.

25

Regarding the current diversity of the Board, one of this year's nine Nominees, Tara Hassan, is a woman. Regarding the current diversity of senior Management, as at the date of this Circular, none are women, are of Indigenous descent, are persons with disabilities or are members of visible minorities.

The Corporation is committed to the creation and maintenance of a diverse workplace. The Corporation also respects and values the perspectives, experiences, cultures, and essential differences that employees and Directors possess. The Corporation acknowledges that in an ever-changing global environment, the benefits from continuing to increase diversity are key components to the Corporation's long-term success.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview of Compensation Program

On June 17, 2016, the Board implemented the Corporation's overall compensation program and policies (the 'Compensation Program') to steward the compensation practices of the Corporation.

28

The Compensation Program has the following key strategic objectives:

· Attract and Retain High Quality Employees: compensation is designed to attract, retain, and motivate high quality employees with the requisite skill sets by encouraging and motivating outstanding performance and contributions; linking pay with short and long-term performance results through a competitive base salary and annual bonus; and provide flexibility to accommodate employees' needs.
· Align Management's Interests with Shareholders' Interests: compensation aligns the interests of Management with the interest of Shareholders by awarding Options, restricted Compensation Shares and restricted share units ('RSUs' or 'Restricted Share Units') that have upside and downside risk of returns tied to the Corporation's share price performance; in addition, Management is subject to a share ownership policy requiring executive Management to own a minimum number of Common Shares of the Corporation.

Governance of the Compensation Program

The Compensation Committee is responsible for administering the Corporation's Program and considering all risks associated with the Corporation's compensation policies and practices. The Compensation Committee ensures that the Compensation Program is balanced in that it will motivate employees, be cost effective, while at the same time ensuring the Compensation Program is market competitive to attract and retain high quality employees.

In summary, pursuant to the Compensation Committee's charter, the Compensation Committee will:

· recommend to the Board compensation policies and guidelines for the Corporation, as well as recommending any necessary changes to current compensation policies and procedures;
· ensure that the Corporation has in place programs to attract and develop Management of the highest calibre;
· review and approve corporate goals and objectives relevant to the Chief Executive Officer's compensation, evaluating the Chief Executive Officer's performance in light of those corporate goals and objectives and report to the Board, on an annual basis, on the performance of the Chief Executive Officer for the prior year; and make recommendations with respect to the Chief Executive Officer's compensation based on the evaluation for approval by the Board;
· review, on an annual basis, the proposed compensation, for all other officers after considering the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer and make recommendations in respect thereof for approval by the Board;
· implement and administer compensation policies and programs approved by the Board concerning executive compensation, employment contracts and stock option or other incentive plans;
· review any proposed amendments to the Option Plan or any other applicable incentive plans and report to the Board thereon. Specifically, the Committee should annually review the Corporation's annual incentive plan ('AIP'), long-term incentive plan ('LTIP'), Option Plan and RSU Plan;
· annually receive from the Chief Executive Officer recommendations concerning annual compensation policies and budgets for all employees;

29

· periodically review the adequacy and form of the compensation of Directors and to ensure that the compensation realistically reflects the responsibilities and risks involved in being an effective Director, and to report and make recommendations to the Board accordingly;
· regularly report to the Board on all of the Compensation Committee's activities and findings during the year;
· review executive compensation disclosure before the Corporation publicly discloses such information; and
· in consultation with the Chairman of the Board and the CEO, develop a calendar of activities to be undertaken by the Compensation Committee for each ensuing year to ensure that the duties of the Compensation Committee are properly discharged.

The Compensation Committee has the authority to retain and receive advice from compensation consultants to carry out its duties. In February 2020, the Compensation Committee retained Lane Caputo Compensation Inc. ('Lane Caputo') as an independent compensation advisor to review and make recommendations regarding the Company's compensation arrangements for its executive team and to recommend required changes to align pay elements and strategy with both current market practices and the Company's business strategy. The report containing Lane Caputo's recommendations was used by the Compensation Committee to guide and assist it in determining the 2020 annual base salaries, bonuses and equity-based compensation for the executive team.

Lane Caputo was retained again in January 2021 to update the peer group companies to reflect the Company's current size and stage of development and review the Company's compensation program for continued alignment with current market practices, the Company's business strategy and shareholder experience.

The fees charged by Lane Caputo during the Company's 2020 and 2019 financial years were as follows:

Nature of Fee 2020 2019
Executive Compensation-Related Fees $ 35,500 $ 20,000
All Other Fees Nil Nil

The CEO and President also each play an integral role with the Compensation Committee. The CEO and President completed an annual assessment of each Officer's performance and made a recommendation to the Compensation Committee on base salaries, cash bonuses and LTIP awards for each Officer. The Compensation Committee took the report into consideration in completing its review and in making recommendations to the Board. While the CEO may make recommendations with respect to his or her own compensation, the ultimate recommendation for Board approval with respect to CEO compensation is made by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.

Benchmarking

The Compensation Committee establishes compensation levels in part by benchmarking against similar companies. The following table summarizes the 2020 comparator group of companies used for the purposes of determining the 2020 annual base salaries, annual and long-term bonus targets and equity-based compensation.

Compensation Elements

The Corporation compensates Officers with a package typically including the primary components of a base salary ('Base Salary'), AIP compensation and LTIP compensation.

The table below summarizes the components of the 2020 Compensation Program:

Why We Pay ItHow It Works
Base Salary Provides a fixed level of cash compensation for performing day-to-day responsibilities

Established by the Board in the first quarter of each year for the current 12-month period ending in December of that same year.

Determined, in part, by reference to relative industry and market information, including the Comparator Group.

Reference is also made to: (i) responsibilities inherent in the NEO's position, as well as the NEO's experience, qualifications, competency and past performance, and (ii) the location of the NEO, as differences exist in the competitive marketplace for Management talent located in various jurisdictions.

Annual Incentive Plan Compensation

(AIP)

Focuses NEOs on the short and long term accretive profitable growth of the Corporation's net asset value per share, attributable gold equivalent production per share and net cash flow per share, through the achievement of annual operating plans, budgets and acquisition objectives

Awards are based on corporate and individual performance.

Target incentive pay for each NEO is determined at the beginning of each financial year.

Corporation and NEO performance is measured against objectives that have been firmly established at the beginning of the year. Awards are payable in cash and/or in Compensation Shares or a mixture of both.

Long Term Incentive Plan Compensation

(LTIP)

Focuses NEOs on creating long-term shareholder value, and aligns NEO's interests with those of shareholders

Provides annual grants to NEOs of restricted Compensation Shares, Options and RSUs.

Options typically vest over three years with a five-year term with one-third vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date, one-third vesting on the second anniversary of the grant date and the final one-third vesting on the third anniversary of the grant date.

Restricted Compensation Share awards have a two-year term restriction on trading.

Health & Other Benefits Attracts and retains highly qualified NEOs MSP, Extended Health and Group Insurance

31

Recognition and Development Programs

The Corporation can utilize recognition programs to recognize employees for additional and special contributions or effort. The Corporation may also utilize a development program to provide assistance for employees' career growth and development needs.

Programs designed to recognize extra and/or exceptional performance by employees are an integral part of the Corporation's overall Compensation Policy. Furthermore, the Corporation believes that providing financial support to employees that are motivated to expand their knowledge and training will directly benefit the Corporation by helping to further educate and then retain the highest caliber people.

Annual Incentive Plan

In keeping with the Corporation's Compensation Philosophy and Programs, the Board has adopted the AIP. The AIP is managed by the Compensation Committee which makes recommendations to the Board. The AIP may be changed, amended or suspended by the Board at any time, if in the Board's opinion said change, amendment or suspension is in the best interests of the Corporation and its Shareholders.

In keeping with the overall objectives of the Corporation's Compensation Program, the AIP is designed to attract, retain and reward those personnel that are essential to the successful operation of the Corporation's business. The purpose of the AIP is to improve the Corporation's performance through the efforts of those in positions that can significantly influence the Corporation's results. Awards under the AIP are based on corporate and individual performance.

The AIP focuses senior Management on the short and long-term accretive growth of the Corporation and provides defined rewards in proportion to how well significant previously established corporate objectives are achieved.

Eligibility is extended to those Management positions having responsibilities for decisions and actions or for influencing the decisions and actions of others which will have a measurable impact on overall Corporation results. Base Salary is used as the primary basis for determining the point at which consideration for participation begins. However, it is not the sole determinant, and in certain situations a position at a lower Base Salary may have considerable impact on the success of the Corporation and in such circumstance, those positions could be considered for inclusion in the AIP.

Each AIP participant will have an established target for his or her annual incentive award, which will be defined as a percentage of Base Salary. The target for each participant is determined by virtue of his or her position and the influence that position can have on the Corporation's annual performance. Achieving the target will be based on the performance of the Corporation and on the performance of the individual participant.

Performance is measured against annual corporate objectives developed and established at the beginning of the fiscal year. The relative importance of each is identified by the weight assigned to the objective. The objectives may be of a long-term (greater than one year) and/or short-term (one year or less) nature.

Corporation Objectives

Corporation objectives are objectives established for the Corporation by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board. The objectives are the four or five most critical areas to be measured, which, when achieved, would be expected to contribute to the annual success of the Corporation. Typically, these objectives will include annual attributable gold equivalent ounces sold, annual revenue, net cash flow per share, earnings per share, and new growth initiatives (i.e. royalty or stream acquisition(s)).

32

Individual Performance

Individual objectives and performance expectations are developed and set for each individual on an annual basis. A substantial portion of each individual's time and responsibilities should include work to support the Corporation's annual objectives. At the beginning of the incentive plan year, supervisors and employees will agree on the key responsibilities and tasks for that individual, as well as how successful accomplishment will be measured.

Two key concepts underlie both corporate objectives and individual performance:

· Stretch refers to the extra application of skills and concentrated effort that will be required to reach or exceed the established objectives. Unless the objectives are considerably beyond normal expectation, payment of bonus compensation is difficult to justify.
· Accountability stresses the fact that action to attain objectives must be within the authority and responsibility of the individual involved.

Annual Incentive Plan Payments

Incentive payments are determined based on corporate and individual performance. Normally, 50% of the incentive payment will be based on corporate performance and 50% will be based on individual performance (although this ratio can vary amongst the Corporation's NEOs). For the financial year ended December 31, 2020 the incentive payments to the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and President were based 75% on corporate performance and 25% based on individual performance. The ratio may be adjusted from year to year by the Board, depending on the level of corporate versus individual focus desired.

The objectives for the 2020 financial year are summarized below under 'AIP Evaluation Criteria'. The Board is actively and continuously reviewing the objectives to be set for future financial years, including the 2021 financial year.

The incentive payments are typically made in cash, however, at the discretion of the Board, incentive payments can be made in the form of restricted Common Shares or a combination of cash and restricted Common Shares.

Performance Factors

Each objective is evaluated at the end of the year and a corresponding performance factor is applied to each. Performance factors will be based on an objective evaluation of the results or if appropriate a subjective evaluation. The performance factors are designed to force clear definitions of what results are expected and to provide consistency in evaluating results.

At the completion of the performance period, if 100% of the goal is achieved, the performance factor is 1.00; if 150% of the goal is met, the performance factor is 1.5; if 200% of the goal is met, the performance factor is 2.0. If a significant portion of the objective is achieved (80%), the employee may receive a performance factor rating 0.50. Achieving anything below 80% of an objective receives a performance factor of 0.

33

The performance factors listed in the table below are guidelines to be used when performance results are measured:

Factor Performance Level Achieved (1)
2.00 Outstanding achievement, far in excess of expectation
1.50 Goal is materially exceeded
1.00 Goal achieved
0.50 Goal not achieved, but significant progress/effort made
0.00 Not satisfactory

Notes:

(1) Evaluation of the objective may indicate that a performance factor somewhere between the stated factors is appropriate, such as a 1.15 rather than 1.0 or 1.50, which determination is at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

Recommendations and Timing of Payment

Incentive recommendations are made after the end of the calendar year when all financial and other data used to measure performance for the preceding financial year has been finalized. The recommendation includes a brief description of each objective, the weight assigned to the objective and the Compensation Committee's evaluation of the results achieved. The evaluation will include both a brief narrative and the performance factor assigned to each objective.

Long Term Incentive Plan

The LTIP is also a core element of the Compensation Program and its overall goal is to attract and retain those executives and senior managers essential to the future growth of the Corporation. A key element of the LTIP is the focusing of Management's attention on share price appreciation in the long-term.

The LTIP is designed to create a sense of ownership for key employees of the Corporation and/or its affiliates who, in the judgement of the Board, will be largely responsible for the Corporation's growth and success. The LTIP links a portion of the individual's compensation to the long-term performance of the Corporation as reflected by the price of the Corporation's Shares, thus aligning the interests of the key employees with those of the Corporation and its shareholders.

Eligibility and Management

Eligibility is extended to key executive and senior Management positions having responsibility for influencing policy and strategy or for influencing the decisions and actions of others that will have a long-term impact on the Corporation's growth and/or overall results. Eligibility for participation in the LTIP is extended to employees that have been employed by the Corporation for a minimum of three months. In addition to the LTIP, the Board may grant Options, restricted Compensation Shares and/or RSUs under the LTIP to employees at any time at the discretion of the Board.

The LTIP is managed by the Compensation Committee who makes recommendations to the Board. The LTIP can be modified or suspended at any time, at the Board's discretion. Modifications may include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) modification of award targets, (2) reduction or increase of award grants, and (3) changes to or final determination of the mix of the annual participant's award between restricted Compensation Shares, Options or RSUs.

34

Targets

Annual award targets are determined as follows:

· Each LTIP participant has an established target for his/her annual incentive grant, which is defined as a percentage of his or her annual base salary. Each participant's target is directly dependent on his or her responsibilities and contribution and shall be determined by virtue of his or her position and the influence that position can have on the Corporation's long-term performance.
· The percentage determined above is multiplied by the participant's annual base salary. For example, if LTIP participant's base salary is $150,000 and his or her target is 40% then his or her 'Annual Target' will be calculated as follows: $150,000 x 40% = $60,000. The resulting $60,000 is the LTIP participant's Annual Target, which is payable in options, restricted shares or RSU's.

Types of Award Grants

· Options: Up to 75% of the annual award grant may be made available as Options. The number of Options is to be determined using the modified Black-Scholes option-pricing model, based on either: (1) the weighted average closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX for the five trading days prior to the date the Option is granted, or (2) the closing trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX on the trading day immediately prior to the date the Option is granted. Options will have a five-year term, and vest in three equal instalments commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date. A summary of the Option Plan is set out below.
· Restricted Compensation Shares: Up to 50% of the annual award grant may be made available as restricted Compensation Shares, with a two year no trading legend. Restricted Compensation Shares will be priced based on the closing trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX on the trading day immediately prior to the date of the Board approval of the LTIP payments. All restricted Compensation Shares will be issued net of statutory withholdings.
· Restricted Share Units: Between 25% to up to 50% of the annual award grant may be made available as RSUs. The RSUs will be granted pursuant to the terms of the Corporation's Amended and Restated RSU Plan. RSUs may vest within three years of the date of grant and can be settled in cash or Common Shares at the discretion of the Board. A summary of the RSU Plan is set out below.

Stock Option and Compensation Share Plan

The following is a summary of the principal terms of the Option Plan. For information in respect of the proposed amendments to the Option Plan please see the section titled, 'The Business of the Meeting - Amendment to Stock Option and Compensation Share Plan', above in this Circular for more information. All information in this section is presented in respect of the Option Plan that is in force as of the date hereof and not further amended.

The Option Plan enables the Directors, Officers, employees and consultants of the Corporation and its affiliates to participate in the growth and development of the Corporation by providing such persons with the opportunity, through options to purchase Options, to acquire an increased proprietary interest.

The Board maintains the authority to award Equity Compensation, including Options and Common Shares ('Compensation Shares'), to the NEOs in such amounts and on such terms as the Board determines in its sole discretion and in accordance with the LTIP. The Board will take factors such as changes in control provisions, performance criteria and previous grants into account when granting awards under the LTIP. The Board maintains the authority to award compensation under the AIP which awards are determined at the end of the financial year based on the performance of the Corporation and the individual NEO relative to the annual objectives for the Corporation that were established at the beginning of the financial year and the NEO's individual performance.

Currently the Option Plan provides that a maximum of 7,500,000 Common Shares issuable pursuant to Options granted or Compensation Shares issued under the Option Plan are reserved for issuance for eligible participants, representing 5.3% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as at the Record Date1. Currently the number of Common Shares which may be issued under the Option Plan, together with the RSU Plan, in aggregate, shall not at any time exceed 10,500,000 Common Shares (7.4% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares).2 As at the Record Date, 6,164,430 Common Shares have been awarded under the Option Plan (which number is the aggregate of 5,538,338 Options granted under the Option Plan and 626,092 Compensation Shares issued under the Option Plan), representing 4.4% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, and 1,453,480 Common Shares remain available for grant under the Option Plan, representing 1.0% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. The AIP and LTIP operate using the 7,500,000 Common Shares limit issuable under the Option Plan and are subject to the restrictions identified above.

The Option Plan, administered by the Board, governs the granting of Options and Compensation Shares to Directors, Officers, employees and consultants of the Corporation and its affiliates. The Board has the discretion to determine to whom Options will be granted, the number and exercise price of such Options and the terms and time frames in which the Options will vest and be exercisable. Options, however, may only be exercisable for a maximum of ten years from the grant date. The exercise price of Options is determined by the Board, but such price shall be no less than the market price of the Common Shares as at the grant date. The Board also has the discretion to determine to whom Compensation Shares will be granted in consideration of the fair value of the contribution of the Corporation by the recipient as determined, but such price shall not be less than the market price of the Common Shares on the issue date. Market price on a particular date is determined based on the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX for the 5 trading days immediately preceding the relevant date.

In addition, the number of Common Shares which may be issuable under the Option Plan and all of the Corporation's other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements are subject to the following:

(a) the number of Common Shares issuable to insiders, at any time, under the Option Plan, together with the aggregate number of Common Shares issuable to insiders under any other security-based compensation agreement, shall not exceed 10% of the Corporation's total issued and outstanding share capital on a non-diluted basis;
(b) the number of Common Shares issued to insiders under the Option Plan, together with the aggregate number of Common Shares issued to insiders under any other security-based compensation arrangement, within any one-year period shall not exceed 10% of the Corporation's total issued and outstanding share capital on a non-diluted basis; and
(c) the number of Options and Compensation Shares granted to non-employee directors under the Option Plan, in combination with all other equity awards granted to non-employee directors under any other security-based compensation arrangements, shall be limited to an annual equity award value of $150,000 per non-employee director, provided that the total value of Options issuable to any one non-employee director in any one-year period shall not exceed $100,000.

1 If the Plan Amendments are approved, as detailed in the above section titled 'Business of the Meeting - Amendment to Stock Option and Compensation Share Plan', a maximum of 10,000,000 Common Shares will be issuable under the Option Plan pursuant to Options and Compensation Shares.

2 If the Plan Amendments are approved, as detailed in the above section titled 'Business of the Meeting - Amendment to Stock Option and Compensation Share Plan', then the number of Common Shares which may be issued under the Option Plan, together with the RSU Plan, in aggregate, shall not at any time exceed 13,000,000.

36

The Corporation's annual burn rate for the three most recently completed fiscal years, expressed as a percentage, and calculated by dividing the number of awards granted under the arrangement during the applicable fiscal year by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding for the applicable fiscal year, was 0.99% in fiscal 2018, 1.08% in fiscal 2019 and 0.69% in fiscal 2020.

An Option is personal to the grantee and is non-transferable and non-assignable. The Option Plan does not provide for or contemplate the provision of financial assistance to facilitate the exercise of Options and the issuance of Common Shares. If the contract, employment or appointment of an Option holder with the Corporation or its affiliates is terminated by either party for any reason other than termination for retirement, death or for cause, the Options held by such Option holder must be exercised within 120 days of the date of termination of the Option holder's contract, employment or appointment with the Corporation. If the Option holder is terminated for cause, the Options held by such Option holder terminate and are cancelled upon the Option holder ceasing to be a Director, Officer, employee or consultant of the Corporation or its affiliates. If the Option holder ceases to be a director, officer, employee or consultant of the Corporation due to retirement, death or disability, each vested Option held by such holder shall be exercisable at any time up to but not after the earlier of the expiry date of such options and the date which is 12 months after the date of retirement, death or disability.

In lieu of exercising Options by delivery of a notice along with payment, with the prior written approval of the Board, any Option holder may elect to transfer and dispose of a specified number of vested Options to the Corporation in exchange for a number of Common Shares with a fair market value equal to the intrinsic value of such vested Options disposed of and transferred to the Corporation ('Net Settlement'). Upon the Net Settlement of Options, the Corporation shall deliver to the Option holder a number of fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares based on the difference between the price of such Options and fair market value of the Common Shares.

Where an option expires during a period when, pursuant to the policies of the Corporation, securities of the Corporation may not be traded by certain persons ('Black-Out Period'), the term of such Option will be extended to a date which is 10 trading days following the end of such Black-Out Period.

The Corporation retains the right to amend or terminate the terms and conditions of the Option Plan without seeking Shareholder approval with respect to the following:

· altering, extending or accelerating the terms and conditions of vesting of any Options;
· accelerating the expiry date of Options;
· amending or modifying the mechanics of exercise of Options provided, however, payment in full of the Option price for the Common Shares shall not be so amended or modified;
· effecting amendments of a 'housekeeping' or ministerial nature;
· effecting amendments necessary to comply with the provisions of applicable laws (including, without limitation, the rules, regulations and policies of the applicable exchange(s));
· effecting amendments respecting the administration of the Option Plan;
· effecting amendments necessary to suspend or terminate the Option Plan; and
· any other amendment, whether fundamental or otherwise, not requiring Shareholder approval under applicable law.

37

Shareholder approval will be required for the following types of amendments:

· amendments that increase the number of Common Shares issuable under the Option Plan;
· any amendment that extends the term of Options beyond the original expiry;
· any reduction in the Option price of an Option or cancellation and reissuance of Options or other entitlements;
· any amendment that would remove or exceed the participation limits;
· any change to the class participants eligible to participate under the Option Plan;
· amendments required to be approved by shareholders under applicable law (including, without limitation, pursuant to the rules, regulations and policies of the applicable exchange(s)).
· any amendment which would permit Options granted under the Option Plan to be transferable or assignable other than for normal estate planning and settlement purposes; and
· any amendment to increase the ability of the Board to amend the Option Plan without Shareholder approval.

The Option Plan contains standard adjustment and anti-dilution provisions for changes in the capital structure of the Corporation.

Restricted Share Unit Plan

The Corporation established a restricted share plan in 2019, which plan was subsequently amended, restated and approved by the shareholders of the Corporation on June 30, 2020 (as amended and restated, the 'RSU Plan') in order to make the terms of the Plan consistent with the provisions of the TSX Company Manual and other TSX-listed companies generally. The following is a summary of the principal terms of the RSU Plan in force as of the date hereof.

The RSU Plan is administered by the Board as further described below. The RSU Plan enables the Corporation to attract, retain and motivate Directors, Officers, employees, consultants and consultant companies ('Eligible Persons'). The RSU Plan provides that RSUs may be granted by the Board to Eligible Persons as a discretionary payment in consideration for significant contributions to the long-term success of the Corporation.

38

Pursuant to the terms of the RSU Plan, the aggregate maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the RSU Plan from treasury:

(a) shall not exceed 3,000,000 Common Shares, or such greater number of Common Shares as shall have been duly approved by the Board and, if required by the policies of the applicable exchange, by the Shareholders, representing 2.1% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as at the Record Date; and
(b) in combination with the aggregate number of Common Shares which may be issuable under any and all of the Corporation's equity incentive plans in existence from time to time, including the Option Plan, shall not exceed 10,500,000 Common Shares3, or such greater number of Common Shares as shall have been duly approved by the Board and, if required by the policies of the applicable exchange, by the Shareholders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the RSU Plan shall be reduced by that number of RSUs which are issued in accordance with the provisions of the RSU Plan.

As at the Record Date, 202,849 Restricted Share Units have been awarded under the RSU Plan, which if all of the Restricted Share Units that have been awarded are settled in Common Shares will represent 0.1% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. 2,797,151 Common Shares remain available for issuance under the RSU Plan, representing 2.0% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.

In addition, the number of Common Shares which may be issuable under the RSU Plan and all of the Corporation's other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements, within a 12-month period:

(a) the number of Common Shares issuable to insiders, at any one time, under the RSU Plan and all of the Corporation's other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements, shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares on the date of the grant on a non-diluted basis;
(b) the number of Common Shares issued to insiders, within any one-year period, under the RSU Plan and all of the Corporation's other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements, shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis; and
(c) the number of RSUs granted to non-employee Directors under the RSU Plan, in combination with all of the Corporation's other previously established or proposed share compensation arrangements, shall be limited to an annual equity award value of $150,000 per non-employee Director, provided that the total value of stock options issuable to any one non-employee Director in any one-year period shall not exceed $100,000.

3 If the Plan Amendments are approved, as detailed in the section of this Circular titled 'Business of the Meeting - Amendment to Stock Option and Compensation Share Plan', then the number of Common Shares which may be issued under the Option Plan, together with the RSU Plan, in aggregate, shall not at any time exceed 13,000,000. 21

39

Unless redeemed earlier in accordance with the RSU Plan, the RSUs of each Eligible Person will be redeemed on the Redemption Date (as defined below) for cash or Common Shares, as determined by the Board, for an amount equal to the fair market value of a RSU. The 'Redemption Date' in respect of any Restricted Share Unit means: the third anniversary of the grant date on which such RSU was granted to the Eligible Person, unless (i) an earlier date has been approved by the Board as the Redemption Date in respect of such RSU, or (ii) there is a Change of Control, the RSU Plan is terminated or upon an Eligible Person's death or termination of employment. The Board, in its sole discretion, shall determine the vesting schedule of each RSU grant.

Subject to the terms of the RSU Plan (which may require the Corporation to obtain Shareholder and/or regulatory approval), the Board may from time to time amend or revise the terms of RSU Plan or may discontinue the RSU Plan at any time. Subject to receipt of requisite Shareholder and regulatory approval (including, where applicable, the approval of the applicable exchange), the Board may make amendments to the RSU Plan to change the maximum number of Common Shares issuable under the RSU Plan, to change the method of calculation of the redemption of RSUs held by Eligible Persons including insiders, to cancel and reissue RSUs or substitute the RSUs with other awards or cash, to provide an extension to the term for the redemption of RSUs held by Eligible Persons and insiders, to remove or exceed the participation limits for insiders, to allow for the transfer or assignment or RSUs other than by will or the laws of decent and distribution, to amend the eligibility for participation under the RSU Plan, to amend the non-employee director participation limits and to amend the amendment section of the RSU Plan. All other amendments to the RSU Plan may be made by the Board without obtaining Shareholder approval.

If an Eligible Person is terminated by the Corporation for cause, or if an Eligible Person, voluntarily terminates employment or service for any reason or resigns as a Director, as applicable, all of the Eligible Person's RSUs, whether vested or unvested, will be forfeited and no amount will be paid by the Corporation to the Eligible Person in respect of the RSUs so forfeited. The RSUs of an Eligible Person which have vested on the applicable date, other than a Director, who is involuntarily terminated by the Corporation, for reasons other than cause, will be redeemed for a number of Common Shares, or equivalent cash value, equal to the number of RSUs then held by the Eligible Person. The RSUs of a Director, whether vested or unvested, who is not re-elected at an annual or special meeting of Shareholders will be redeemed for cash at the fair market value of such RSUs on the Redemption Date.

In the event of a change of control, then the Corporation will redeem 100% of the RSUs granted to the Eligible Persons on a Redemption Date which will be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the change of control occurs in accordance with the terms of the RSU Plan.

40

An RSU is personal to the grantee and is non-transferable and non-assignable. The RSU Plan does not provide for or contemplate the provision of financial assistance to facilitate the redemption of RSUs.

Recommendations and Timing of Payment

Management's award recommendations and Board approval are typically made in the first quarter after the Corporation's financial year-end. Timing of award grants, however, will occur at the discretion of the Board and the Board shall have sole and absolute discretion in determining whether to grant Options, restricted Compensation Shares or RSUs.

Nothing in the LTIP requires the issue or distribution of any award in any given year or the distribution to any particular person. No person has any right to receive a distribution of any award in a year, whether other persons receive such awards in such year. The receipt by a recipient in any year of such awards shall not create any entitlement to the receipt of any such awards by such recipient in any other year.

2020 AIP and LTIP Awards (paid in the first quarter of 2021)

Significant Events

The 2020 fiscal year was highlighted with successes in respect of:

· the acquisition of a portfolio of 10 royalties from Newmont for consideration of US$73.5 million in cash and Common Shares, further strengthening the strategic partnership between the Corporation and Newmont;
· a dramatic increase in the trading liquidity of the Corporation;
· the successful execution of the secondary offering for Pan American and the concurrent warrant exercise by Pan American, which bolstered the public float of the Corporation and brought new shareholders into the registry;
· increased financial capacity, as a result of the inflow of cash received from the exercise of warrants held by Pan American and the transaction to restructure one of the Corporation's NSR's with Karora Resources; and
· increased organizational development of the Corporation and its team despite challenges brought on the by the global COVID-19 health pandemic.

The above successes contributed to key fiscal 2020 performance results for the Corporation, including but not limited to:

· a cumulative total shareholder return of 65% for the previous two years, outperforming the gold price and the Corporation's closest royalty peers, with the added result of the 2020 financial year marking the fifth consecutive year of realizing a positive annual shareholder return;
· achieving record revenue of US$51.7 million, record cash flow from operating activities, excluding changes in non-cash working capital, of US$36.5 million and record gold equivalent ounces sold of 28,916, which also represented an increase in these key metrics on a per share basis; and
· an increase in consensus net asset value per share from research analysts that cover the Corporation.

AIP Evaluation Criteria

The AIP objectives for 2020 included but were not limited to:

Corporate
Goal/Objective
Description Value Weighting

As a result of the Board's evaluation of the Corporation's performance against the previously established corporate goals and objectives for 2020, as presented above, as well as the application of each individual's performance factors, an overall AIP factor of 140% was approved. Consequently, each employee's annual AIP target for 2020 was multiplied by 1.4 in determining their final AIP award. The Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board subsequently approved a factor of 1.5 be applied to AIP targets of Messrs. McIntyre and Beil.

AIP awards for the 2020 financial year have been paid as of the date of this Circular.

Notes:

(1) The dollar amounts in this column for the financial years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 represent Restricted Share Units which were granted by the Corporation during 2021, 2020 and 2019. The dollar amounts in this column for the financial year ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 represent Common Shares of the Corporation which were granted either during the year in question or in the case of Annual Incentive Plan Compensation Shares, the year in which they were earned. The amounts in this column relating to Restricted Share Units are calculated by multiplying the grant date fair value of the Restricted Share Units (the closing price of the shares on the TSX on the grant date) by the number of Restricted Share Units granted. The amounts in this column relating to Compensation Shares were calculated by multiplying 90% of the weighted average closing price of the Common Shares for the five trading days prior to the date of the Director's approval of the annual incentive payments by the number of Compensation Shares issued.
(2) The Black-Scholes model is used as the methodology to calculate grant date fair value ($1.55) and relied on the following weighted average assumptions and estimates for 2020 calculations: grant date share price and exercise price of $6.57, a factor of 0.8, expected stock price volatility of 35.0%, risk free interest rate of 0.93%, assumption of annual rate of dividends of 0.77%, and expected five year option life. The dollar amounts in this column for the financial years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 represent Options which were granted by the Corporation during 2021, 2020 and 2019.
