MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 29, 2010

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This Information Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management ("Management") of Grandview Gold Inc. ("Grandview" or the "Corporation") for use at the annual meeting (the "Meeting") of the shareholders ("Shareholders") of common shares ("Common Shares") of the Corporation.

The Meeting will be held at 130 King Street West, Suite 1600, Toronto, ON M5X 1J5 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on November 29, 2010, and at any adjournments thereof for the purposes set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders accompanying this Information Circular. Information contained herein is given as of October 25, 2010 unless otherwise specifically stated.

Solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail but may be supplemented by solicitation personally by directors, officers and employees of the Corporation without special compensation. The cost of solicitation by Management will be borne by the Corporation.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

Enclosed herewith is a form of proxy for use at the Meeting. The persons named in the form of proxy are directors and officers of the Corporation. A Shareholder submitting a proxy has the right to appoint a nominee (who need not be a Shareholder) to represent him at the Meeting other than the persons designated in the enclosed proxy form by inserting the name of his chosen nominee in the space provided for that purpose on the form and by striking out the printed names.

A form of proxy will not be valid for the Meeting or any adjournment thereof unless it is signed by the Shareholder or by the Shareholder's attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, it must be executed by a duly authorized officer or attorney thereof. The proxy, to be acted upon, must be deposited with the registrar and transfer agent of the Corporation, Equity Financial Trust Company at 200 University Avenue, Suite 400, Toronto, Ontario M5H 4H1 by 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on November 25, 2010, or in the case of any adjournment of the Meeting, not less than 48 hours prior to the time of such meeting, or delivering it to the Chairman of the Meeting, on the day of the meeting or any adjournment thereof prior to the time of the voting.

A Shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it prior to its use, in any manner permitted by law, including by instrument in writing executed by the Shareholder or by his attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, executed by a duly authorized officer or attorney thereof and deposited at the office of the Equity Financial Trust Company at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, at which the proxy is to be used, or with the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

ADVICE TO BENEFICIAL HOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many Shareholders as a substantial number of Shareholders do not hold shares in their own name. Shareholders who do not hold their shares in their own name (referred to in this Information Circular as "Beneficial Shareholders") should note that only proxies deposited by Shareholders whose names appear on the records of Grandview as the registered holders of Common Shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those Common Shares will not be registered in the Shareholder's name on the records of Grandview. Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the names of the Shareholder's broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the names of CDS & Co. (the registration name for CDS Depository and Clearing Services Inc., which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Common Shares held by brokers or their agents or nominees can only be voted (for or against resolutions) upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, brokers and their agents and nominees are prohibited from voting shares for the broker's clients. Therefore, Beneficial Shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their Common Shares are communicated to the appropriate person.


Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholders' meetings. Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the Meeting. Often, the form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker is identical to the form of proxy provided to registered shareholders; however, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered shareholder how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Services, Inc. ("Broadridge"). Broadridge typically mails a scanable voting instruction form in lieu of the form of proxy. The Beneficial Shareholder is requested to complete and return the voting instruction form to them by mail or facsimile. Alternatively, the Beneficial Shareholder can call a toll-free telephone number to vote the Common Shares held by the Beneficial Shareholder. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder receiving a voting instruction form cannot use that voting instruction form to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting as the voting instruction form must be returned as directed by Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted.

Although a Beneficial Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Common Shares registered in the name of his broker (or agent of the broker), a Beneficial Shareholder may attend at the Meeting as proxyholder for a registered shareholder and vote the Common Shares in that capacity. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to attend at the Meeting and indirectly vote their Common Shares as proxyholder for a registered shareholder should enter their own names in the blank space on the instrument of proxy provided to them and return the same to their broker (or the broker's agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker (or agent), well in advance of the Meeting.

VOTING OF PROXIES

All Common Shares represented at the Meeting by properly executed proxies will be voted on any ballot that may be called for and, where a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon has been specified in the accompanying form of proxy, the Common Shares represented by the proxy will be voted in accordance with such instructions. In the absence of any such instruction, the persons whose names appear on the printed form of proxy will vote in favour of all the matters set out thereon. The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein. If any other business or amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting properly comes before the Meeting then discretionary authority is conferred upon the person appointed in the proxy to vote in the manner they see fit, in accordance with their best judgment. At the time of the printing of this Information Circular, Management knows of no such amendment, variation or other matter to come before the Meeting other than the matters referred to in the Notice of Meeting.

SUPPLEMENTAL MAILING LIST

Under National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations, a person or corporation who in the future wishes to receive financial statements and the related management's discussion and analysis from the Corporation must deliver a written request for such material to the Corporation, together with a signed statement that the person or corporation is the owner of securities (other than debt instruments) of the Corporation. Shareholders who wish to receive financial statements and the related management's discussion and analysis are encouraged to send the enclosed mail card, together with the completed form of proxy to Equity Financial Trust Company, at 200 University Avenue, Suite 400, Toronto, Ontario M5H 4H1. Copies of the Corporation's annual and interim financial statements are also available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Corporation's Statement of Executive Compensation, in accordance with the requirements of Form 51-102F6 – Statement of Executive Compensation, is set forth below, which contains information about the compensation paid to, or earned by, the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and each of the other three most highly compensated executive officers of the Corporation earning more than CDN$150,000.00 in total compensation as at May 31, 2010 (the "Named Executive Officers" or "NEO's") during the Corporation's last three most recently completed financial years. Based on the foregoing, Paul Sarjeant, President, CEO and a director of the Corporation, and Ernest Cleave, Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation, are the Corporation's only Named Executive Officers as at May 31, 2010.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation Review Process

The Corporation has a Compensation Committee (the "Committee") but does not retain a compensation consultant. The Committee oversees an annual review of director and executive compensation to ensure development of a compensation strategy that properly aligns the interests of directors and executives with the long-term interests of the Corporation and its Shareholders. The Compensation Committee is comprised of Ken Hight, Ted Nunn and Dr. Michael Hitch.

The Compensation Committee reviews on an annual basis the cash compensation, performance and overall compensation package for each NEO. It then submits to the Board recommendations with respect to the basic salary, bonus and participation in share compensation arrangements for each NEO. After discussing various factors with both Management and peers in the industry, and receiving recommendations for bonuses and 2010 salaries for executive officers, the Compensation Committee made its recommendations to the Board for approval. In conducting its review of Management’s recommendations, the Compensation Committee was satisfied that all recommendations complied with the Compensation Committee’s philosophy and guidelines set forth above.

- 7 -


Objectives of the Compensation Program

The objectives of the Corporation's compensation program are to attract, hold and inspire performance of members of Management of a quality and nature that will enhance the sustainable growth of the Corporation.

To determine compensation payable, the compensation committee of the Corporation (the "Compensation Committee") reviews compensation paid for directors and officers of companies of similar business, size and stage of development and determine an appropriate compensation reflecting the need to provide incentive and compensation for the time and effort expended by the directors and NEO's while taking into account the financial and other resources of the Corporation.

The annual salaries for NEOs are designed to be comparable to executive compensation packages for similar positions at companies with similar financial, operating and industrial characteristics. The NEOs will be paid an annual salary that also takes into account his or her existing professional qualifications and experience. The NEOs' performances and salaries are to be reviewed periodically on the anniversary of their appointment to their respective officer-ships with the Corporation. Increases in salary are to be evaluated on an individual basis and are performance and market-based.

The Board is given discretion to determine and adjust, year to year, the relative weighting of each form of compensation discussed above in a manner which best measures the success of the Corporation and its NEO's.

Elements of Executive Compensation

The Corporation's executive compensation program is based on the objectives of: (a) recruiting and retaining the executives critical to the success of the Corporation; (b) providing fair and competitive compensation; (c) balancing the interests of Management and Shareholders; and (d) rewarding performance, on the basis of both individual and corporate performance.

For the financial year ended May 31, 2010, the Corporation's executive compensation program consisted of the following elements:

  (a)

a base salary, incentive cash bonuses and other compensation (together, a "Short-Term Incentive"); and

     
  (b)

a long-term equity compensation consisting of stock options granted under the Corporation's stock incentive plan (each, a "Long-Term Incentive").

The specific rationale and design of each of these elements are outlined in detail below.

Element of Compensation Summary and Purpose of Element
   
Short-Term Incentive Plan  
   
Base Salary Executive annual base salaries are set at a level that is competitive with compensation for executive officers of peer group oil and gas companies and having regard to the potential longer term compensation provided by the Option Plan.
Salaries form an essential element of the Corporation's compensation mix as they are the first base measure to compare and remain competitive relative to peer groups. Base salaries are fixed and therefore not subject to uncertainty and are used as the base to determine other elements of compensation and benefits.
The Compensation Committee and the Board review NEO salaries at least annually. Typically, the Board, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, makes annual salary adjustments no later than April 15th of each year for the 12 month period from June 1st to May 31st .

- 8 -



Annual Performance-Based Cash Incentives Any bonus paid to the NEO's is entirely within the discretion of the Board, following consideration by the Compensation Committee. In making bonus determinations, the Board reviews corporate and individual performance.
Annual performance-based cash bonuses are a variable component of compensation designed to reward the Corporation’s executive officers for maximizing annual operating performance.
   
Other Compensation (Perquisites) There are currently no other forms of compensation.
   
Long-Term Incentive Plan  
   
Stock Options The granting of stock options is a variable component of compensation intended to reward the NEO's for their success in achieving sustained, long-term profitability and increases in stock value.
The executive officers are entitled to participate in the Option Plan which forms an important element of the Corporations compensation policies. Options grants are periodically made to recognize exemplary performance (including in connection with a promotion within the Corporation) and provide for long-term reward and incentive for increasing shareholder value and align the interests of the executive officers with the long- term interests of shareholders. Options may also be granted to executive officers upon their commencement of service.

Base Salary

In determining the base salary of an NEO, the Board's practice in recent years has been to consider the recommendations made by the Compensation Committee and then review and summarize these recommendations as well as the previous year’s remuneration paid to executives with similar titles at a comparative group of companies in the marketplace. In determining the base salary to be paid to a particular executive officer, the Board also considers the particular responsibilities related to the position, the experience level of the NEO, and his or her past performance at the Corporation.

The Board believes that it is appropriate to establish compensation levels based in large part on a general consideration against similar companies, both in terms of compensation practices as well as levels of compensation. In this way, the Corporation can gauge if its compensation is competitive in the marketplace for its talent, as well as ensure that the Corporation's compensation is reasonable. Accordingly, the Board reviews compensation levels for the Named Executive Officers against compensation levels of the comparison companies which are identified by the Board.

Annual Performance-Based Cash Incentives

NEO's are eligible for annual cash bonuses, and the Board considers both corporate and the individual performance of each NEO. There is no policy currently in place for determining bonuses, and the Board reviews generally the individual’s impact on maximizing operating performance. In general the Corporation will consider the following factors, depending on the relevance of these factors to the particular NEO, when determining potential bonuses:

  (a)

performance against budget;

     
  (b)

expense control;

     
  (c)

performance factors; and

     
  (d)

other exceptional or unexpected factors.

In taking into account the financial performance aspect, it is recognized that NEO's cannot control certain factors, such as overall market conditions. When applying the financial performance criteria, the Board considers factors over which the NEO's can exercise control, such as meeting budget targets established by the Board at the beginning of each year, controlling costs, taking successful advantage of business opportunities and enhancing the competitive and business prospects of the Corporation.

Overview of How the Compensation Program Fits with Compensation Goals

1. Attract, Hold and Inspire Key Talent

The compensation package meets the goal of attracting, holding and motivating key talent in a highly competitive mineral exploration environment through the following elements:

  (a)

A competitive cash compensation program, consisting of base salary and bonus opportunity, which is generally above similar opportunities.

     
  (b)

Providing an opportunity to participate in the Corporation's growth through options.

2. Alignment of Interests of NEO's with Interests of the Shareholders

The compensation package meets the goal of aligning the interests of the NEO's with the interests of Shareholders through the following elements:

  (a)

Through the grant of stock options, if the price of the Corporation shares increases over time, both NEO's and Shareholders will benefit.

     
  (b)

By providing a vesting period on stock awards, NEO's have an interest in increasing the price of the Corporation's shares over time, rather than focusing on short-term increases.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Statement of Corporate Governance

Effective June 30, 2005 National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices ("NI 58-101") of the Canadian Securities Administrators was adopted. Pursuant to NI 58-101 an issuer whose common shares are traded on the TSX and which issuer is seeking proxies from its security holders for the purposes of electing directors must include in its management information circular the corporate governance practices which have been adopted by the issuer as more fully set out in NI 58-101.

Corporate governance refers to the manner in which a board of directors oversees the management and direction of a corporation. Governance is not a static issue, and must be judged from time-to-time based on the evolution of a corporation with respect to its size and the nature or its business, and upon the changing standards of the community. Not all corporate governance systems are alike. The Corporation's approach has been developed with respect to the Corporation's growth and current status. The composition of the Board is reviewed on an annual basis by the full Board and Management.

In reviewing the issue of corporate governance, the Board has determined to perform the function as an entire Board. The Board's mandate was to consider corporate governance matters and make recommendations consistent with the Corporation's position and size as a junior mining corporation. The resulting approach to corporate governance adopted by the Board reflects these recommendations and recognizes the responsibility of the Board for the stewardship of the Corporation.

- 17 -


The Corporation's approach to corporate governance is set out in Schedule "A" attached to this Circular. Through regular review at quarterly meetings, the Board will continue to examine these issues in light of the Corporation's development in the mineral exploration business. In addition, and as required by Multilateral Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees ("MI 52-110"), the Corporation is required to set out detailed information concerning its Audit Committee in the Corporation's Annual Information Form which was dated August 27, 2010 (the "AIF") and as such information concerning the Audit Committee of the Corporation can be found on pages 39-41 of the AIF and the full text of the Audit Committee Charter is set out in Schedule "A" of the AIF.

The Board is currently composed of six (7) directors. One (1) of these directors is a member of Management and five (5) are outside directors who are unrelated as such term is described in the TSX Guidelines for Corporate Governance (the "Guidelines").

For the Corporation, the implementation of a detailed system to address every issue of corporate governance would be an undue strain on the resources and finances of a junior corporation. In order to address a wide range of issues of governance more effectively, the board has elected to undertake three (3) areas of activity through board discussion, consensus or through the partial assistance of the Board, as follows:

The tasks of appointing and assessing directors, and the assessment of the effectiveness of the Board, its committees and individual directors, are carried out by the full Board, rather than by appointed committees. New directors are given background materials and a review of the Corporation's development.

  (a)

The Board monitors Management on a regular basis. The annual budget is reviewed regularly by the Board and by the Audit Committee as a basis to assess performance and progress. This procedure is favoured over the use of formal mandates which would define limits to Management's responsibilities, or the use of procedures to approve the Chief Executive Officer's corporate objectives to ensure the Board can function independently of Management. However, the Board will consider, on an ongoing basis, issues concerning the independence of the Board from Management.

     
  (b)

The Board has not adopted a system that would enable an individual director to engage an advisor at the expense of the Corporation in appropriate circumstances. At this time, agreement by the Board to any such retainer, if at the expense of the Corporation, would be required.

The Board has appointed a Chairman who is other than the Chief Executive Officer.

The committees of the Board are comprised primarily of outside directors and function as set out below.

The Audit Committee meets as required to review the annual and quarterly financial statements, matters relating to the securities commissions, investments and transactions that could adversely affect the well-being of the Corporation and Management's recommendations regarding share issues of the Corporation. The Audit Committee also establishes and monitors procedures to reduce conflicts of interest and for reviewing audit and financial matters. Through meetings with external auditors and senior Management, the Audit Committee discusses, among other things, the effectiveness of the internal control procedures established for the Corporation. At all times, at least one (1) Audit Committee member possesses accounting or related financial expertise, while the remaining members are, at minimum, possessed of significant experience in analyzing the financial condition of corporations. The Board has adopted a charter for the Audit Committee which sets out the responsibilities of the Audit Committee and provides guidance to Audit Committee members as to their duties which charter is attached to the Corporation's AIF, as described above. The Audit Committee of the Corporation currently consists of three (3) members: D. Richard Brown, Jack Austin and Peter Born. Each of Mr. Brown, Mr. Austin and Dr. Born all qualify as independent directors and are financially literate as defined in MI 51-110.

The Compensation Committee reviews compensation practices and Management succession and approves the remuneration of the Corporation's senior executives, including the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee also monitors the integrity of Management through periodic meetings with the Chief Executive Officer.

- 18 -


The Compensation Committee is currently comprised of three (3) directors: Ken Height, Ted Nunn and Dr. Michael Hitch. Each of Mr.Hight, Mr. Nunn and Dr. Hitch qualify as independent directors as defined in MI 52-110.

Finally, although the Guidelines do not emphasize issues of environmental concern, the Board recognizes its responsibility to ensure that the Corporation's operations do not result in an adverse impact on the environment.

The Board remains committed to the ongoing development and improvement of the Corporation, its systems and in particular corporate governance. Shareholder feedback is encouraged at all times and commentary is always welcome. Shareholders are invited to address their comments to the attention of Chairman.

Information contained herein is given as of October 25, 2010. Save for the matters referred to herein, Management knows of no other matters intended to be brought before the Meeting.

2. BOARD MANDATE  

The Board assumes responsibility for stewardship of the corporation, including overseeing all of the operation of the business, supervising management and setting milestones for the Corporation. The Board reviews the statements of responsibilities for the Corporation including, but not limited to, the code of ethics and expectations for business conduct.

The Board approves all significant decisions that affect the Corporation and its subsidiaries and sets specific milestones towards which management directs their efforts.

The Board ensures, at least annually, that there are long-term goals and a strategic planning process in place for the Corporation and participates with Management directly or through its committees in developing and approving the mission of the business of the Corporation and the strategic plan by which it proposes to achieve its goals, which strategic plan takes into account, among other things, the opportunities and risks of the Corporation's business. The strategic planning process is carried out at each Board meeting where there are regularly reviewed specific milestones for the Corporation.

The strategic planning process incorporates identifying the main risks to the Corporation's objectives and ensuring that mitigation plans are in place to manage and minimize these risks. The Board also takes responsibility for identifying the principal risks of the Corporation's business and for ensuring these risks are effectively monitored and mitigated to the extent practicable. The Board appoints senior Management. As the Corporation has grown it has seen that Management has also grown, mitigating risk with respect to succession planning.

The Corporation adheres to all regulatory requirements with respect to the timeliness and content of its disclosure. The Board approves all of the Corporation's major communications, including annual and quarterly reports and press releases. The CEO or Chair (on behalf of the Board) authorizes the issuance of news releases. The CEO and the Chair are generally the only individuals authorized to communicate with analysts, the news media and investors about information concerning the Corporation.

The Board and the Audit Committee examine the effectiveness of the Corporation's internal control processes and information systems.

The Board as a whole, given its small size, is involved in developing the Corporation's approach to corporate governance. The number of scheduled meetings of the Board varies with circumstances. In addition, special meetings are called as necessary. The Chair establishes the agenda at each Board meeting and submits a draft to each director for their review and recommendation for items for inclusion on the agenda. Each director has the ability to raise subjects that are not on the agenda at any meeting of the Board. Meeting agendas and other materials to be reviewed and/or discussed for action by the Board are distributed to directors in time for review prior to each meeting.

Board members have full and free access to senior Management and employees of the Corporation

3. POSITION DESCRIPTION
Chairman of the Board and Committee Chairs: role and responsibilities The Board does not currently have a separate written description for the chair. The Board as a whole is responsible for and is continuing to develop recommendations for structures and procedures to clearly define the role and responsibilities of the Chair and the chair of each Board committee. The Chair of the Board is independent of Management and is responsible for leading the discussion and ensuring that the Board convenes as often as is required in order to meet the needs of the Corporation. In addition, the Chair also meets with the CEO on a regular basis to help with this function. The Audit Committee has a chair and a charter which charter provides structure and guidance with respect to the roles of the board, committee and the chair. In addition, the chair of the Audit Committee is independent of Management. The Compensation Committee does not have a written description for the chair.

Office of the CEO: role and responsibilities

The Board and the CEO have not developed formal documented position description for the CEO. The Board is currently of the view that the respective corporate governance roles of the Board and Management, as represented by the CEO, are clear and that the limits to Management's responsibility and authority are well-defined. In order to monitor and ensure that these roles are defined, the Chairman meets with the CEO and CFO on a regular basis to ensure that all matters requiring Board review and/or approval are brought before the Board and that Management is working within the bounds of their authority. As the Corporation is a junior mining corporation there are only two senior officer positions and as such the role of the CEO is broad but the Board believes that as a result of relevant corporate governance initiatives and the frequent meeting of the Chairman and the CEO, there is sufficient delineation.

4. ORIENTATION AND CONTINUING EDUCATION
New director orientation

The Corporation does not have a formal orientation and education program for new directors. However, new directors are provided with relevant materials with respect to the Corporation as well as being oriented on relevant corporate issues by senior management and legal counsel.

Continuing education of the board

The Board currently does not provide continuing education for its directors. By using a Board composed of experienced professionals with a wide range of financial, exploration and mining expertise, the Corporation ensures that the Board operates effectively and efficiently. Currently, the Board members have access to and actively consult with legal counsel to the Corporation on various matters with respect to their duties and obligations to the Corporation. The Board is currently working to implement formal policies on a number of corporate governance matters and upon implementation also plans to provide written information and orientation with respect to such policies to the Board members.

5. ETHICAL BUSINESS CONDUCT
Code of ethics

The Board has not adopted a written code of ethics and expectations for business conduct for the directors, officers and employees of the Corporation.

Handling non-arm’s length transactions

Directors with an interest in a material transaction are required to declare their interest and abstain from voting on such transactions. A thorough discussion of the documentation related to material transaction is required for review by the Board, particularly independent directors.

Culture of ethical conduct

The Board seeks directors who have solid track records in spheres ranging from financial to exploration and mining in order to ensure a culture of ethical business conduct.

6. NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS
Identifying nominees

All of the Corporation's directors are involved in the search for new directors.

Nominating committee

The Board does not have a nominating committee. A new director should have direct experience in the mining business and significant public company experience. The nominee must not have a significant conflicting public company association. Experienced mining directors are currently difficult to source as a result of the high level of activity in the mining sector.

Role and responsibilities of the nominating committee

The Board does not have a nominating committee at the present time.

7. COMPENSATION
Determining directors’ and officers’ compensation

The Board reviews the adequacy and form of compensation and compares it to other companies of similar size and stage of development. There is no minimum share ownership requirement of directors. Director's compensation is in the form of stock options. The Corporation's compensation committee reviews the amounts and effectiveness of stock option compensation.

Composition of the compensation committee

The Compensation Committee consists of three (3) directors: Ken Hight, Ted Nunn and Michael Hitch. Messrs. Hight, Nunn and Hitch are independent.

Roles and responsibilities of the compensation committee

The Compensation Committee convenes at least once annually to review director and officer compensation and status of stock options. The Compensation Committee also responds to requests from Management and the Board to review recommendations of Management for new senior employees and their compensation. The Compensation Committee has the power to approve and/or amend these recommendations.

Use of a compensation consultant or advisor

The Corporation has felt no need to retain any compensation consultants or advisors at any time since the beginning of the Corporation's most recently completed financial year.

8. OTHER BOARD COMMITTEES
Audit Committee

The Audit Committee consists of three (3) directors: D. Richard Brown, Jack Austin and Peter Born. Messrs. Brown, Austin and Born are independent.

Other board committees

The Corporation does not currently have any other committees.

9. ASSESSMENTS
Board and committee effectiveness

The Board does not, at present, have a formal process in place for assessing the effectiveness of the Board as a whole, its committees or individual directors. The Audit Committee, as part of their annual review, assesses the effectiveness of the Board and its independence. The Audit Committee assesses the adequacy of the information provided, the regular nature of the communication between the Board and Management and reviews whether Management is following the mandated strategic direction as set out in the Board's direction and Management milestones.

The Board assesses the CEO's effectiveness in attaining the Corporation's corporate objectives, budgets and milestones.

Management and directors communicate with shareholders on an ongoing basis, and shareholders are regularly consulted on the effectiveness of Board members and senior staff.
