All costs of soliciting proxies and mailing the Proxy Statement and other meeting materials in connection with the Meeting will be borne by Midway.

PART 1 – VOTING

HOW A VOTE IS PASSED

Except for the election of directors and the Preferred Shares Rights Matter, all of the other matters that will come to a vote at the Meeting as described in the Notice of Meeting are ordinary resolutions and can be passed by a simple majority – that is, if more than half of the votes that are cast are in favor, then the resolution is approved. Abstentions will not be counted for or against a proposal. Other than the election of the nominee for the board seat to be elected by the Preferred Governance Majority (as defined herein) (the “Preferred Holder Director”), the nominees for election as directors at the Meeting will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Meeting. With respect to the nominee for election as the Preferred Holder Director (the “Preferred Director Nominee”), such Preferred Director Nominee will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Meeting by the Preferred Governance Majority, voting as a separate class. Other than the Preferred Holder Director, the number of positions on the Board (as set at the Meeting) will be filled by the nominees with the most votes. The Preferred Holder Director’s position shall be filled by the Preferred Director Nominee with the most votes from the Preferred Governance Majority. A properly executed proxy card marked WITHHELD with respect to the election of directors will not be voted and will not count FOR or AGAINST any of the nominees for which the vote was withheld. The Preferred Shares Rights Matter is a separate special resolution of the holders of common shares and can be passed by a special majority – that is if at least 2/3 of the votes that are cast by holders of common shares are in favor, then the resolution is approved.

WHO CAN VOTE?

Shareholders as of May 14, 2014 (the record date for the Meeting) are entitled to have their views represented at the Meeting. For the purpose of determining how your views may be represented at the Meeting, you must first determine what type of Shareholder you are; a registered Shareholder or a beneficial Shareholder.

Registered Shareholders

You are a registered Shareholder if your Shares are held in your personal name and you are in possession of a share certificate that indicates the same.

Beneficial (Non-Registered) Shareholders

A majority of our Shareholders are non-registered. You are a non-registered Shareholder if your Shares are held in the name of a nominee/intermediary. If you hold your Shares through a bank, a trust company, a brokerage firm or other type of institution, then you are considered a non-registered or beneficial Shareholder. More particularly, a person is a non-registered Shareholder in respect of his or her Shares where such Shares are held either (a) in the name of the intermediary that the non-registered Shareholder deals with (being securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs RESPs and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited in Canada, or The Depository Trust Company in the United States) with which the intermediary deals. If your Shares are held in the name of a U.S. registered broker-dealer nominee, you need to provide your nominee with specific instructions to vote your Shares. See “Broker Non-Votes” below.

Follow the steps in the appropriate category below once you have determined your shareholding type. Please note that only registered Shareholders as of May 14, 2014, or duly appointed proxyholders thereof, are permitted to vote in person at the Meeting.

REGISTERED SHAREHOLDER VOTING INSTRUCTIONS

If you are a registered Shareholder as of May 14, 2014, you may vote in person at the Meeting, or by proxy either by mail, telephone or online. If you wish to vote by telephone or internet, please see the form of proxy enclosed for details on protocol.

Voting in Person

If you are able to join us in person for the Meeting, and wish to vote your Shares in person, you do not need to complete and return the enclosed proxy. Before the official start of the Meeting on June 18, 2014, please register with the representative(s) from the Company, who will be acting as scrutineer at the Meeting. Once you are registered with the scrutineer, your vote will be requested and counted at the Meeting.

For Shares that are registered in the name of a corporation, a duly authorized officer of the corporation may attend the Meeting to vote on the corporation’s behalf provided that documentation evidencing such officer’s authority is (a) received by Computershare at the address indicated on the accompanying Notice of Meeting by not later than 10 a.m. (Nevada time) on June 16, 2014 or, if the Meeting is rescheduled, at least forty-eight (48) hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays) before the rescheduled Meeting, or (b) provided at the Meeting to Computershare.

Voting by Proxy

If you are not able to attend the Meeting in person, or if you wish to appoint a representative to vote on your behalf, you have the right to appoint a proxyholder, who may or may not be a Shareholder of the Company, to represent you at the Meeting. To do so, use the enclosed form of proxy.

The persons named in the accompanying form of proxy are directors or officers of the Company and are nominees of management. You can choose to have management’s appointee vote your Shares or you may appoint a person of your choice by striking out the printed names and inserting the desired person’s name and address in the blank space provided. Complete the balance of the proxy, sign it and return it to Computershare. Please note that your vote can only be counted if the person you appointed attends the Meeting and votes on your behalf and the proxy has been properly completed, executed and delivered.

You may not vote both by proxy and in person. If you have voted by proxy, you will not be able to vote your Shares in person at the Meeting, unless you revoke your proxy (see “Revoking Your Voting Instructions” below). Return your completed proxy by mail to Computershare or by fax or online by not later than 10 a.m. (Nevada time) on June 16, 2014 or, if the Meeting is rescheduled, at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays) before the rescheduled Meeting.

BENEFICIAL SHAREHOLDER VOTING INSTRUCTIONS

Regulatory policies require nominees/intermediaries to seek voting instructions from beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholder meetings. Beneficial Shareholders have the option of (a) not objecting to their nominee/ intermediary disclosing certain ownership information about themselves to the Company (such beneficial Shareholders are designated as non-objecting beneficial owners, or “NOBOs”) or (b) objecting to their nominee/intermediary disclosing ownership information about themselves to the Company (such beneficial Shareholders are designated as objecting beneficial owners, or “OBOs”).

Mailing to Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners or NOBOs

In accordance with the requirements of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Company has caused its agent to distribute copies of this Proxy Statement and proxy materials directly to beneficial Shareholders who are NOBOs. These materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered Shareholders. If you are a non-registered shareholder, and the Company 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 nominee/intermediary holding the Shares on your behalf.

By choosing to send the proxy materials to NOBOs directly, the Company (and not the nominee/intermediary holding Shares 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 voting instruction form enclosed with the mailing you receive.

Mailing to Objecting Beneficial Owners or OBOs

In accordance with the requirements of Canadian Securities Administrators, the Company is distributing copies of this Proxy Statement and proxy materials to clearing agencies and nominees/intermediaries for onward distribution to beneficial Shareholders who are OBOs.

Intermediaries have obligations to forward meeting materials to the OBOs, unless otherwise instructed by the holder (and as required by regulation in some cases, despite such instructions). Generally, nominees/intermediaries will provide OBOs with either: (a) a voting instruction form for completion and execution by the OBO, or (b) a proxy form executed by the nominee/intermediary and restricted to the number of shares owned by the OBO, but not otherwise completed. These are procedures to permit the OBO to direct the voting of the Shares which they beneficially own.

Voting in Person

If you are able to join us in person for the Meeting, and wish to vote your Shares in person, insert your own name in the space provided on the enclosed voting instruction form or form of proxy and carefully follow the signing and return instructions, or other method of response, provided therein. If you do not properly follow such instructions, or do not provide your response within the indicated timeframe, you may not be able to vote your Shares at the Meeting. Before the official start of the Meeting on June 18, 2014 (or such other date to which the Meeting may be rescheduled or adjourned), please register with the representative(s) from the Company.

Most nominees/intermediaries now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from OBOs to Broadridge Investor Communications Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”). Broadridge typically prepares a voting instruction form, which is mailed to OBOs and requested to be returned to Broadridge, usually by way of mail, telephone or online. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Shares to be represented at the Meeting by proxies for which Broadridge has solicited voting instructions. An OBO who receives a Broadridge voting instruction form cannot use that form to vote Shares in person at the Meeting. Should an OBO who receives a Broadridge voting instruction form wish to attend the Meeting in person, the OBO may request a legal proxy as set forth in the voting instruction form, which will grant the OBO the right to attend and vote at the Meeting. The voting instruction form must be returned to Broadridge (or instructions respecting the voting of common shares must otherwise be communicated to Broadridge) well in advance of the Meeting in order to have your views represented at the Meeting. Please carefully review the instructions on the voting instruction form for completion and deposit. If you have any questions respecting the voting of Shares held through Broadridge, please contact your nominee/intermediary directly for assistance.

To Vote by Proxy

The materials distributed by Midway’s agent to NOBOs include a voting instruction form. A NOBO may vote a voting instruction form in his or her own name at any time by mail, telephone or online in accordance with the instructions appearing on the enclosed voting instruction form. Computershare will tabulate the results of the votes received from NOBOs in accordance with the instructions appearing on the enclosed voting instruction form and will provide appropriate instructions at the Meeting with respect to those votes. Please carefully review the instructions on the voting instruction form for completion and deposit.

Generally, if you are an OBO, you will either:

be given a voting instruction form, which is not signed by your nominee/intermediary, and which when properly completed and signed by you and returned to your nominee/intermediary in adequate time to be forwarded by your nominee/intermediary to Computershare by not later than 10 a.m. (Nevada time) on June 16, 2014, will constitute voting instructions, which your nominee/intermediary must follow; or

be given a proxy which has already been signed by your nominee/intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature), which describes the number of Shares you beneficially own, but which is otherwise not completed. Because your nominee/intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, you are not required to sign this form of proxy when depositing it. If you wish to submit the proxy, complete the form of proxy and deposit it with Computershare at the address indicated on the accompanying Notice of Meeting by not later than 10 a.m. (Nevada time) on June 16, 2014.

Whether you choose to vote your beneficially held Shares by proxy or voting instruction form or in person, you must carefully follow the instructions that accompany either the proxy or voting instruction form, including those regarding when and where the proxy or voting instruction form is to be delivered, and the deadline for delivery.

You may not vote both by proxy or voting instruction form and in person. If you have voted by proxy or voting instruction form, you will not be able to vote your Shares in person at the Meeting, unless you revoke your proxy or voting instruction (see “Revoking Your Voting Instructions” below).

REVOKING YOUR VOTING INSTRUCTIONS

If you want to revoke a proxy after you have delivered it, you can do so at any time before it has been acted upon. If you are a registered Shareholder, you may do this by (a) attending the Meeting and voting in person; (b) signing a proxy bearing a later date; (c) signing a written statement which indicates, clearly, that you want to revoke your proxy and delivering this signed written statement to the Corporate Office of Midway Gold Corp. at Suite 280, 8310 South Valley Highway, Englewood, Colorado 80112; or (d) in any other manner permitted by law.

Your proxy will only be revoked if a revocation is received by 4:00 p.m. (Nevada time) on the last business day before the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or delivered to the person presiding at the Meeting before it (or any adjournment) commences. If you revoke your proxy and do not replace it with another that is deposited with Computershare before the deadline, you can still vote your Shares but to do so you must attend the Meeting in person.

If you are an OBO, follow the procedures provided by your nominee/intermediary to revoke your voting instructions carefully.

EXERCISE OF DISCRETION BY PROXY HOLDERS

You may indicate on your form of proxy or voting instruction form how you wish your proxyholder to vote your Shares. To do this, simply mark the appropriate boxes on the form of proxy or voting instruction form. If you do this, your proxyholder must vote your Shares or withhold from voting your shares in accordance with the instructions you have given, including on any ballot called for at the Meeting. If you do not give any instructions as to how to vote on a particular issue to be decided at the Meeting, your proxyholder can vote your Shares as he or she thinks fit.

If you have appointed the persons designated by management in the form of proxy as your proxyholder they will, unless you give contrary instructions, vote your Shares at the Meeting as recommended by management, namely:

FOR setting the number directors at seven (including one Preferred Holder Director);

FOR the election of the proposed nominees as directors;

FOR the re-appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company’s auditor for the fiscal year 2014 and to authorize the Board of Directors of the Company to fix the remuneration to be paid to KPMG LLP;

FOR the amendment to the Articles granting the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares preferential corporate governance and nomination rights in the event the Company fails to redeem the Series A Preferred Shares.

For more information about these matters, see Part 3 - The Business of the Meeting. The enclosed form of proxy or voting information form may give the persons named on it the authority to use their discretion in voting on amendments or variations to matters identified on the Notice of Meeting. At the time of printing this Proxy Statement, our management is not aware of any other matter to be presented for action at the Meeting. If, however, other matters do properly come before the Meeting, the persons named on the enclosed form of proxy or voting information form will (if permitted in accordance with applicable law) vote on them in accordance with their best judgment, pursuant to the discretionary authority conferred by the form of proxy or voting information form with respect to such matters.

BROKER NON-VOTES

In the United States, brokers and other intermediaries, holding shares in street name for their customers, are generally required to vote the shares in the manner directed by their customers. If their customers do not give any direction, brokers may vote the Shares at their discretion on routine matters, but not on non-routine matters. Other than the proposals for the setting of the number of directors, and the re-appointment of KPMG LLP as our auditors for fiscal year 2014, all of the other matters to be voted on at the Meeting are non-routine matters and brokers may not vote Shares held in street name for their customers in relation to these items of business without direction from their customers.

The absence of a vote on a non-routine matter is referred to as a broker non-vote. Any Shares represented at the Meeting but not voted (whether by abstention, broker non-vote or otherwise) will have no impact in the election of directors or any other matter to be voted on at the Meeting, except to the extent that the failure to vote for an individual nominee results in another individual receiving a larger proportion of votes cast for the election of directors.

PART 2 - VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

Midway has authorized capital of an unlimited number of common shares and preferred shares. Each Shareholder holding our common stock is entitled to one (1) vote for each common share registered in his or her name at the close of business on May 14, 2014, the date fixed by our Board of Directors as the record date (the “Record Date”) for determining who is entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting. Each Shareholder holding Series A Preferred Shares on the Record Date is entitled to the number of votes per share equal to the number of common shares into which such Series A Preferred Share is convertible as of the Record Date for the determination of Shareholders entitled to vote on such matter. As at the Record Date each Series A Preferred Shares is convertible into common shares on a one for one share basis and therefore each Series A Preferred Share is entitled to one vote.

At the close of business on April 25, 2014, 134,102,646 of our common shares and 37,837,838 of our Series A Preferred Shares were outstanding. To the knowledge of our directors and officers, Mr. Martin Hale Jr., INV-MID, LLC, EREF-MID II, LLC and HCP-MID, LLC are the only individuals and companies who beneficially own, directly or indirectly shares carrying greater than 10% of the voting rights attached to all outstanding Shares, as of April 25, 2014. Refer to “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters” for additional information.

PART 3 - THE BUSINESS OF THE MEETING

PROPOSALS 1 & 2 – NUMBER AND ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

WHAT AM I VOTING ON?

Under our Articles, the number of directors may be fixed or changed from time to time by ordinary resolution but shall not be fewer than three (3). There are currently seven (7) directors on the Board, including the Preferred Holder Director. There are seven (7) nominees proposed by the Board for election as directors with the Preferred Director Nominee, Nathaniel E. Klein, being nominated by HCP-MID, LLC as the initial purchaser in the Series A Private Placement (as defined below) and together with INV-MID, LLC and EREF-MID II, LLC the holders of at least 7,567,568 Series A Preferred Shares (the “Preferred Governance Majority”). HCP-MID, LLC will remain as the Preferred Governance Majority until such time as HCP-MID, LLC, INV-MID, LLC and EREF-MID II, LLC no longer hold in the aggregate at least 7,567,568 shares of Series A Preferred Shares at which time the Preferred Governance Majority shall mean the holders of the majority of the then issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Shares until such time as the Preferred Holders no longer hold at least 7,567,568 shares of Series A Preferred Shares.

At our 2013 Annual General and Special Meeting, our Shareholders approved a proposal to amend our Articles to grant the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares the right, voting as a separate class, to nominate and elect the Preferred Holder Director at each subsequent annual or special meeting of our Shareholders or action by written consent of Shareholders at which directors will be elected. Nathaniel E. Klein, as the Preferred Director Nominee, will stand for election as the Preferred Holder Director.

Unless you give other instructions, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote FOR setting the number of directors at seven (7).

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee has nominated six (6) nominees for election to the Board at the Meeting, to hold office until the 2015 Annual General Meeting:

Kenneth A. Brunk

Martin M. Hale, Jr.

Roger A. Newell

John W. Sheridan

Frank S. Yu

Richard P. Sawchak

The Preferred Governance Majority has nominated one (1) Preferred Director Nominee for election at the Meeting, to hold office until the 2015 Annual General Meeting:

Nathaniel E. Klein (Preferred Director Nominee)

Each of the nominees has agreed to stand for election and we are not aware of any intention of any of them not to do so. Directors of the Company are elected for a term of approximately one (1) year. The current term of office of each of the current directors of the Company will expire at the Meeting or when their successors are duly elected and qualified, and each of the nominees, if elected, will serve until the close of the next annual general meeting or until their successors are duly elected and qualified, unless he or she resigns or otherwise vacates office before that time. The persons named above will be presented for election at the Meeting as our and the Preferred Governance Majority’s nominees for the Board of Directors, and the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote for the election of these nominees. Each director will be elected by a majority vote (50% +1 vote) of the votes cast with respect to his election for non-contested meetings.

The Board recommends a vote FOR each of the nominees.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

The members of our Board are required by law to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and to disclose any interests which they may have in any project or opportunity of the Company. If a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the Board, any director in a conflict will disclose his interest and abstain from voting on such matter. In determining whether or not the Company will participate in any project or opportunity, that director will primarily consider the degree of risk to which the Company may be exposed and its financial position at that time.

On November 21, 2012, we entered into a private placement transaction (the “Series A Private Placement”) in which we offered and sold 37,837,838 Series A Preferred Shares. Of the 37,837,838 Series A Preferred Shares sold, EREF-MID II, LLC and HCP-MID, LLC purchased a combined 17,837,838 Series A Preferred Shares for a combined aggregate purchase price of US$33,000,000.

In connection with the Series A Private Placement, we agreed to pay dividend payments (the “Series A Dividend) to the holders of our Series A Preferred Shares. Other than the Series A Dividend, to the best of our knowledge, there are no known existing or potential conflicts of interest among us, our promoters, directors, officers or other members of our management as a result of their outside business interests except that certain of the directors, officers, promoters and other members of management serve as directors, officers, promoters and members of management of other public companies, and therefore it is possible that a conflict may arise between their duties as a director, officer, promoter or member of management of such other companies.

Our directors and officers are aware of the existence of laws governing accountability of directors and officers for corporate opportunity and requiring disclosures by directors of conflicts of interest and we will rely upon such laws in respect of any directors’ and officers’ conflicts of interest or in respect of any breaches of duty by any of its directors or officers.

As described in this Proxy Statement, at our 2013 Annual General and Special Meeting our Shareholders approved a proposal to amend our Articles to grant the Preferred Governance Majority the right, voting as a separate class, to nominate and elect the Preferred Holder Director. HCP-MID, LLC, as the Preferred Governance Majority beneficially owns more than 5% of the Shares entitled to vote. The Preferred Governance Majority has selected Nathaniel E. Klein as the Preferred Director Nominee to serve, if elected, as the Preferred Holder Director until the Company’s 2015 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders or until their successor is duly elected and qualified. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee accepted the Preferred Governance Majority’s nomination of the Preferred Director Nominee.

There have been no changes in our procedures by which our Shareholders may recommend nominees to our Board.

DIVERSITY OF THE BOARD

We do not have a formal policy regarding diversity in the selection of nominees for directors. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee does however consider diversity as part of its overall selection strategy. In considering diversity of the Board as a criteria for selecting nominees, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee takes into account various factors and perspectives, including differences of viewpoint, professional experience, education, skills and other individual qualities and attributes that contribute to Board. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee seeks persons with leadership experience in a variety of contexts and, among public company leaders, across a variety of industries. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee believes that this expansive conceptualization of diversity is the most effective means to implement Board diversity. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee assessed the effectiveness of this approach as part of its annual review of its charter.

ASSESSMENTS

The Corporate Governance & Nominating Committee is responsible for leading the Board in its annual review of the effectiveness of the Board and its committees and of management of the Company as a whole and reporting thereon to the Board. On November 5, 2013, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee conducted a review of the Board’s performance and the performance of its committees. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee determined the performance criteria evaluated was acceptable.

BOARD COMMITTEES

Our Board has established five Board committees: a Compensation Committee, an Audit Committee, a Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, a Budget/Work Plan Committee and an Environment, Health and Safety Committee. The Company also has a Disclosure Committee comprised of the CEO, three independent directors and the CFO. The information below sets forth the current members of each of our Board committees and the Disclosure Committee and summarizes the functions of each of the committees in accordance with their mandates.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

The Board has established a Compensation Committee, currently comprised of Martin M. Hale, Jr. (Chairman), Roger A. Newell, and John W. Sheridan, each an independent director under the rules of NI 52-110 and Sections 803A and 805(c)(1) of the NYSE MKT Company Guide.

Under a charter adopted by the Board that complies with the requirements of NI 52-110 and Sections 803A and 805(c)(1) of the NYSE MKT Company Guide, the Compensation Committee is a committee of the Board whose primary purposes are (1) to discharge the responsibilities of the Board relating to compensation of the Company’s CEO and other executive officers, (2) to develop and oversee the Company’s compensation policies and programs, and (3) to produce an annual report on executive compensation for public disclosure in the Company’s proxy statement or otherwise, as required by applicable securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Additionally, the Compensation Committee is responsible for:

Reviewing from time to time and approve the overall management evaluation and compensation policies of the Company, including, in particular, policies applicable to the Company’s executive officers, to ensure that management is compensated appropriately for its contributions;

Reviewing and approving the compensation for executive officers of the Company other than the Chief Executive Officer;

Reviewing, approving and periodically evaluating the Company’s compensation and other benefit plans, including incentive compensation, equity-based plans and special benefits and perquisite programs for executive officers and senior management; and

The Company does not have any security based compensation arrangements other than the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan.

The Compensation Committee shall be comprised at all times of three (3) or more directors as determined by the Board, each of whom shall be independent directors. The Compensation Committee does not and cannot delegate its authority to determine director and executive officer compensation. Each member of the Compensation Committee has been in a senior leadership position in various organizations, and in those capacities obtained direct experience relevant to executive compensation, and has the skills and experience that enable the Compensation Committee to make decisions on the suitability of the Company’s compensation policies and practices.

The Compensation Committee considers implications of the risks associated with the Company’s compensation policies and practices as part of its oversight and stewardship of the affairs of the Company.

The Compensation Committee may form and delegate authority to a subcommittee to administer its duties as set forth in the Compensation Committee charter.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the Compensation Committee met eleven (11) times. A full copy of the Compensation Committee charter can be found on our website at www.midwaygold.com.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Experts

We have a standing Audit Committee and Audit Committee charter, which complies with Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the requirements of the NYSE MKT Company Guide. Our Audit Committee was established in accordance with section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our Audit Committee is comprised of three (3) “independent” directors (in accordance with National Instrument 52-110, Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the requirements of section 803(B) of the NYSE MKT Company Guide): John W. Sheridan (Chairman), Rodney D. Knutson and Frank S. Yu. John W. Sheridan satisfies the requirement of a “financial expert” as defined under Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K and is, in the opinion of the Company’s Board, “independent” as that term is used in the NYSE MKT Company Guide and Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The Audit Committee is composed entirely of independent directors who each have several decades of mining or business related management experience at the executive level. Members of the Audit Committee have previously held positions on audit committees of other public companies and have had experience in reviewing and analyzing financial statements.

The Board has adopted a Charter for the Audit Committee which sets out the Committee’s mandate, organization, powers and responsibilities. The Audit Committee is primarily responsible (1) to assist the Board in its oversight of the integrity of the Company’s financial statements, our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and corporate policies and controls, and the independent public accountant's selection, retention, qualifications, objectivity and independence, and (2) to prepare the “Report of the Audit Committee” to be included in our annual proxy statement. The Committee will assist the Board by reviewing the financial information that will be provided to the Shareholders and others, the systems of internal controls that management and the Board have established, and the audit process. Our Audit Committee Charter complies with Rule 10A-3 and the requirements of the NYSE MKT. A copy of the Audit Committee charter can be found on our website at www.midwaygold.com. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the Audit Committee met five (5) times.

Additional responsibilities of the Audit Committee:

recommending to our Board the external auditor to be nominated for election by our Shareholders at each annual general meeting and negotiating the compensation of such external auditor;

overseeing the work of the external auditor;

reviewing our annual and interim financial statements, Management Discussion & Analysis (MD&A) and press releases regarding earnings before they are reviewed and approved by the Board and publicly disseminated by us; and

reviewing our financial reporting procedures and internal controls to ensure adequate procedures are in place for our public disclosure of financial information extracted or derived from its financial statements, other than disclosure described in the previous paragraph, and periodically assessing the adequacy of those procedures.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

In the course of providing its oversight responsibilities regarding the 2013 financial statements, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the 2013 audited financial statements which appear in our Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K, with management and our independent auditors. The Audit Committee reviewed accounting principles, practices and judgments as well as the adequacy and clarity of the notes to the financial statements.

Since the commencement of our most recently completed fiscal year, our Board has not failed to adopt a recommendation of the Audit Committee to nominate or compensate an external auditor. The Audit Committee has adopted specific policies and procedures for the engagement of non-audit services as described in section 7 “Powers and Responsibilities – Performance & Completion by Auditor of its Work” of the Audit Committee Charter.

The Audit Committee reviewed the independence and performance of the independent auditors who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and such other matters as required to be communicated by the independent auditors in accordance with Statement on Auditing Standards 61, as superseded by Statement of Auditing Standard 114 – the Auditor’s Communication with Those Charged with Governance.

The Audit Committee meets regularly with the independent auditors to discuss their audit plans, scope and timing on a regular basis, without management present in executive sessions. The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by applicable standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board for independent auditor communications with Audit Committees concerning independence as may be modified or supplemented, concerning its independence as required under applicable standards for auditors of public companies.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board, and the Board has approved, that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report Shareholders on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Audit Committee and the Board have also recommended the selection of KPMG LLP as independent auditors for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the Budget/Work Plan Committee met three (3) times. A copy of the Budget/Work Plan Committee charter can be found on our website at www.midwaygold.com.

ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH AND SAFETY COMMITTEE

The Board established an Environment, Health and Safety Committee (“EHS Committee”) on August 2, 2013. Currently the EHS Committee is comprised of Roger A. Newell (Chairman), John W. Sheridan, and Frank S. Yu. The purpose of the Environment, Health and Safety Committee is to:

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the EHS Committee did not meet. A copy of the EHS Committee charter can be found on our website at www.midwaygold.com

DISCLOSURE COMMITTEE

Company policy has established a Disclosure Committee currently comprised of Frank S. Yu (Chairman), Bradley J. Blacketor, Kenneth A. Brunk, Roger A. Newell and Nathaniel E. Klein. The purpose of the Disclosure Committee is to ensure that the Company complies with its timely disclosure obligations as required under applicable Canadian and United States securities laws.

BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE

The Board has reviewed the Company’s current Board leadership structure — which consists of a combined Chairman and CEO — in light of the composition of the Board, the Company’s size, the nature of the Company’s business, the regulatory framework under which the Company operates, the Company’s shareholder base, the Company’s peer group and other relevant factors, and has determined that a combined Chairman and CEO position is currently the most appropriate Board leadership structure for the Company at this time. The Board noted the following factors in reaching its determination:

The Board acts efficiently and effectively under its current structure, where the CEO also acts as Chairman.

A combined Chairman/CEO is in the best position to be aware of major issues facing the company on a day-to-day and long-term basis, and is in the best position to identify key risks and developments facing the Company to be brought to the Board’s attention.

A combined Chairman/CEO position reduces the potential for confusion and duplication of efforts, including among employees.

A combined Chairman/CEO position reduces the potential for confusion as to who leads the Company, providing the Company with a single public “face” in dealing with Shareholders, employees, regulators, analysts and other constituencies.

A substantial majority of the Company’s peer group utilizes a Board structure with a combined Chairman / CEO.

On April 3, 2014, the Board appointed Mr. John Sheridan to serve as the Company’s lead independent director. As the Company’s lead independent director, Mr. Sheridan will assist our Chairman/CEO on board meeting agendas, lead executive meetings with board members and support our Chairman/CEO on governance issues. Given the size of the Board, the Board believes that the presence of six (6) independent directors (including the independent lead director) out of the seven (7) directors currently on the Board, each of whom sits on the Board’s committees, is sufficient independent oversight of the Chairman/CEO. The Board continues to evaluate the Company’s leadership structure on a periodic basis and will determine if the combined Chairman/CEO structure remains appropriate for the Company.

THE ROLE OF THE BOARD IN RISK OVERSIGHT

The understanding, identification and management of risk are essential elements for the successful management of the Company. Risk oversight begins with the Board and the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is chaired by John W. Sheridan and two (2) of our independent directors sit on the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee reviews and discusses policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. The Audit Committee also has oversight responsibility with respect to the integrity of the Company’s financial reporting process and systems of internal control regarding finance and accounting, as well as its financial statements.

At the management level, an internal audit provides reliable and timely information to the Board and management regarding our effectiveness in identifying and appropriately controlling risks. Annually, management presents to the Audit Committee a report summarizing the review of our methods for identifying and managing risks.

We also have a comprehensive internal risk framework, which facilitates performance of risk oversight by the Board and the Audit Committee. Our risk management framework is designed to:

Provide that risks are identified, monitored, reported, and priced properly;

Define and communicate the types and amount of risk the Company is willing to take;

Communicate to the appropriate management level the type and amount of risk taken;

Maintain a risk management organization that is independent of the risk-taking activities; and

Promote a strong risk management culture that encourages a focus on risk-adjusted performance.

The Board’s oversight of risk of the Company has not specifically affected the Board’s leadership structure.

OTHER GOVERNANCE MATTERS

QUORUM EXEMPTION UNDER SECTION 110 OF THE NYSE MKT COMPANY GUIDE

Section 110 of the NYSE MKT Company Guide recognizes that we must operate in accordance with the laws and customary practices of our country of incorporation, to the extent not contrary to United States federal securities laws. In respect to certain matters, the Company follows Canadian practices that differ from the requirements of the NYSE MKT Company Guide. We post on our website at www.midwaygold.com the ways in which our practices differ from those of the NYSE MKT Company Guide.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires any person who is a director or executive officer or who beneficially holds more than 10% of any class of our securities which have been registered with the SEC, to file reports of initial ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. These persons are also required under the regulations of the SEC to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Under Canadian National Instrument 55-102 for Electronic Disclosure by Insiders (SEDI), these same persons are required to register and file reports of initial ownership and changes in ownership with the TSX and applicable securities commissions on SEDI.

To our knowledge, based solely on our review of the copies of the Section 16(a) reports furnished to us, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our directors, executive officers and holders of more than 10% of any class of our registered securities were timely complied with during the year ended December 31, 2013 other than one late Form 3 of Mr. Knutson reporting his appointment to the Board of Directors on June 20, 2013 in which no other transactions were required to be reported thereon.

CODE OF ETHICS

Each director, officer and employee is expected to comply with relevant corporate and securities laws and, where applicable, the terms of their employment agreements in a manner that enhances shareholder value and is consistent with the highest level of integrity. The Board monitors on an ongoing basis the activities of management and ensures that the highest standard of ethical conduct is maintained. One of the ways the Board monitors management activities is through the Whistleblower Protection Policy. The Whistleblower Protection Policy seeks to create procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment by the Audit Committee of the Company of concerns, complaints or allegations received by the Company. No complaints have been made.

The Board has adopted a formal written code of ethical business conduct for its directors, officers and employees. The Code Business and Ethical Conduct (the “Code”) relates to written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that are filed with, or submitted to, the securities regulatory authorities and in other public communications made by an issuer;

Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

The prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and

Accountability for adherence to the Code.

During our fiscal year ended December 2012, we posted on our website any waiver of the Code of Ethics granted to any of our directors or executive officers promptly following the date of the waiver. No waivers of the Code of Ethics were granted for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. We will post any amendments to, or waiver from, our Code of Ethics on our website.

The Code is available on our website at www.midwaygold.com and on SEDAR, at www.sedar.com. A copy of the Code will be provided, without charge, upon written request to the Corporate Office of Midway Gold Corp. at Suite 280, 8310 South Valley Highway, Englewood, Colorado 80112, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee is pleased to present the following Compensation Committee report:

We have reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis set forth in this proxy statement. Based upon review of the discussions herein, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement.

Respectfully submitted, members of the Compensation Committee

Martin M. Hale, Jr. (Chairman)

Roger A. Newell, and

John W. Sheridan

This compensation committee report is “furnished” to and not “filed” with the SEC.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The individuals who served as our chief principal executive officer and chief principal financial officer during the year ending December 31, 2013, as well as the other individuals included in the Summary Compensation Table below, are referred to as “named executive officers” or “NEOs” throughout this Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

Compensation Program Objectives

Our compensation program and policies are designed to ensure that the compensation program is competitive within the labor markets, fiscally sound and cost effective. Further, the program and policies are based on a systematic blending of the position’s internal worth to the organization and its external value to the market, consistent with the Company’s ability to pay.

In early 2013, the Company and Compensation Committee retained Denver Compensation & Benefits, LLC, an independent consultant, to perform a competitive market analysis of the named executive officers’ compensation. The independent consultant worked with management and the Compensation Committee to develop a list of eighteen (18) comparable mining companies. The selected list of gold mining companies ranged from exploration companies to advanced exploration and development companies. The comparable mining companies, which the Compensation Committee believes provides a reasonable basis for assessing the competitiveness of the compensation for the NEOs, are listed below:



Company Name	Total Assets	Market Capitalization
August Resource Corp.	273,280,000	371,740,000
Sabina Gold & Silver	350,588,119	312,118,217
Synergy Resources Corp.	130,740,000	360,750,000
Paramount Gold and Silver Corp.	71,560,000	306,250,000
Asanko Gold	222,150,000	262,650,000
Largo Resources Ltd.	229,020,461	179,203,321
Golden Queen Mining	6,770,782	163,665,118
International Tower Hill	229,120,000	151,030,000
Vista Gold	162,740,000	142,380,000
Atna Resources	153,612,731	127,083,127
Golden Minerals Company	359,730,000	128,340,000
Orezone Gold	45,151,725	102,411,782
Petaquilla Minerals Ltd.	206,760,000	104,670,000
Pershing Gold	31,280,000	115,430,000
Great Western Minerals Group, Ltd.	150,459,622	96,797,470
CAMAC Energy Inc.	206,070,000	85,750,000
Victoria Gold Corp.	142,898,092	67,223,485
Corvus	29,643,175	52,723,139
Median	158,176,366	135,360,000

Midway Gold	134,030,000	134,660,000
Percentile Rank	31%	50%

The information was then compiled from the public reporting documents for each of the 18 comparable mining companies to report the annual base and other compensation components for the CEO and other named executive officers. In addition to the above market analysis, the Company developed a base salary structure targeting the market median as the midpoint of each salary range. This structure was developed using several different survey instruments.

In addition to the industry and peer comparisons, the Compensation Committee considers a variety of other factors when determining compensation policies and programs. These factors include the long-range goals of the Company and its Shareholders, the competitive requirements to attract and retain key employees, the Compensation Committee's assessment of the position requirements for each executive's role in the Company, along with the performance and contributions made by the executive. Base salaries of executive management are set at levels which are competitive with the base salaries paid by companies of comparable or similar size within the mining industry, thereby enabling the Company to compete for and retain executives critical to the long-term success of the Company. Superior performance is recognized through our incentive program. The Compensation Committee does not weigh any of these factors more heavily than others and does not use a specific formula to assess these factors, but rather considers the combination of the factors in its judgment and at its discretion to make a final determination.

The Compensation Committee reviews and recommends to the Board of Directors our compensation policies and programs, as well as salary levels for certain executives. The CEO may not be present during meetings of the Compensation Committee when his compensation is being discussed. Independent Compensation Consultants and management prepare and present to the Compensation Committee such surveys, analyses, reports and recommendations, as the Committee may request, including the industry surveys as discussed above. The Board of Directors makes the final determination regarding our compensation programs and practices.

Elements of our Compensation Program for Fiscal Year 2013

The total compensation plan for executive officers is comprised of the following components: base salary, discretionary cash awards under the Short-Term Incentive Plan, and equity awards under the 2013 Stock and Incentive Plan.

There is no set policy or target regarding allocation between cash and non-cash elements of our compensation program. The Compensation Committee reviews annually the total compensation package of the CEO and the named executives against the Company’s compensation goals and objectives and the industry compensation data described above, and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning the CEO’s compensation. Our CEO reports to the Compensation Committee regarding the individual performance of the other named executive officers.

Base Salary

As a general rule for establishing base salaries, the Compensation Committee reviews competitive market data for each named executive officer. Mr. Brunk’s, President and CEO, and Mr. Moritz’s, Senior Vice President of Operations, 2013 base salaries were in the 12th and 9th percentiles, respectively, based upon the peer group evaluation discussed above. The base salary of the CFO position during 2013 was in the 13th percentile of the peer group evaluation discussed. The CFO position was held by Mr. Schaudies, Mr. Labate, and Mr. Blacketor throughout the year. Salaries for our named executive officers are reviewed at least annually to consider factors such as market and inflation as well as overall corporate performance and the results of their performance reviews.

In May 2013, the Compensation Committee made base salary adjustments to the NEOs to recognize their individual performance and better align to comparative peer groups.



Named Executive Officer	Job Title	2012 Annual Salary (US$)		2013 Annual Salary (US$)		Percent Increase		Basis for Decision
Kenneth A. Brunk	President & CEO	$	225,000	$	275,000	22	%	Improve competitive position relative to peer groups.
Bradley J. Blacketor	CFO		-		215,000	N/A		N/A. New hire as of December 5, 2013.
Richard D. Moritz	Sr. VP of Operations		175,000		220,000	26	%	Improve competitive position relative to peer groups.

Short-Term Incentive Plan

Our Short-Term Incentive Plan (“STIP”) generally allows executive officers, management and employees to earn discretionary incentive payments as a percentage of base salary, based upon a combination of individual performance and Company performance. All executive officers, management and employees participate in the STIP. The President and CEO’s STIP participation and the amount of award is determined annually by the Compensation Committee.

In considering executive STIP, the Compensation Committee used the comparative market evaluation discussed above to review and approve the recommended amounts as determined by the independent consultant and management. The independent consultant had compiled the relative STIP information and made recommendations to management for the CEO’s and other named executive officers’ amount of their Short-Term Incentive compensation. It was the stance of the independent consultant and management to award amounts which approximated the 50th percentile of the peer group.

In May 2013, the Compensation Committee approved target bonus opportunities for the NEOs, expressed as a percentage of their annual base salary. For the bonus related to 2013, the target bonus opportunities for the NEOs were as follows:



	Bonus Target
Job Title	(% of Base Salary)
President & Chief Executive Officer	50	%
Chief Financial Officer	40	%
Senior Vice President of Operations	40	%

Corporate goals were established and reviewed by the Compensation Committee in February 2013. The goals were based upon cash available to fund operations, financing for construction of the Pan project, permitting of the Pan project and engineering of the Pan project. Based upon the performance of the Company in meeting the corporate goals and individual performance, the Compensation Committee approved the following bonuses for the NEOs in March 2014.



Named Executive Officer	Job Title	Target Bonus Opportunity (US$)		Actual Bonus Earned (US$)
Kenneth A. Brunk	President & CEO	$	137,500	$	-
Bradley J. Blacketor	CFO		86,000		-	(1)
Richard D. Moritz	Sr. VP of Operations		88,000		67,900

(1)Mr. Blacketor was hired on December 5, 2013 and therefore was not eligible for the bonus payout.

Stock Incentive Awards

On June 20, 2013, the Company’s Shareholders approved the 2013 Stock and Incentive (“2013 Plan”). The 2013 Plan replaced the Company’s former 2008 Stock Option Plan (“2008 Plan”). The 2013 Plan and the 2008 Plan are intended to emphasize management's commitment to and alignment of compensation with the enhancement of Shareholders' equity through an increase in the share price.

With the approval of the Company’s 2013 Plan, the 2008 Plan was no longer available for the granting of new stock options. However, all outstanding option grants as of June 20, 2013, will remain under the 2008 Plan.

During 2013, the Company’s 2008 and 2013 Plans provided for grants to directors, officers, employees and consultants of options to purchase common shares. The Board fixed the aggregate number of our common shares issuable under all awards (“Award” or “Awards”) under the 2013 Stock and Incentive Plan at 16,628,914 (“Award Cap”), which is equivalent to 10% of the Company’s common shares plus Series A Preferred Shares and equivalent to 12.9% of the Company’s common shares outstanding as of April 16, 2013. The total number of common shares issuable to insiders at any time and issued to insiders of the Company within any one-year period pursuant to stock options granted under the 2013 Stock and Incentive Plan, together with any other security based compensation arrangements of the Company, may not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares and preferred shares. The number of common shares issuable for Awards made under the 2008 Stock Option Plan is deducted from the Award Cap. The Award Cap represents the maximum number of shares issuable under both plans.

As of April 25, 2014, the maximum number of common shares reserved, set aside and made available for issue under the 2013 Plan was 16,628,914, of which there were 9,269,750 common shares issuable under issued and outstanding options under the 2013 Plan. 6,741,664 common shares in aggregate remain available for future grants under the 2013 Plan.

Administration

The 2013 Stock and Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee. Subject to the express provisions of the 2013 Stock and Incentive Plan and to applicable law, the Compensation Committee has the full power and authority to: (i) designate participants (the “Participants”) in the 2013 Stock and Incentive Plan; (ii) determine the type or types of awards to be granted to each Participant under the 2013 Stock and Incentive Plan; (iii) determine the number of common shares to be covered by each Award; (iv) determine the terms and conditions of any Award or Award Agreement, including any terms relating to the forfeiture of any Award and the forfeiture, recapture or disgorgement of any cash, common shares or other amounts payable with respect to any Award; (v) amend the terms and conditions of any Award or Award Agreement; (vi) accelerate the exercisability of any Award or the lapse of any restrictions relating to any Award, (vii) determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances Awards may be exercised in cash, common shares, other securities, other Awards or other property, or canceled, forfeited or suspended; (viii) determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances cash, shares, other securities, other Awards, other property and other amounts payable with respect to an Award under the 2013 Stock and Incentive Plan shall be deferred either automatically or at the election of the holder thereof or the Compensation Committee; (ix) interpret and administer the 2013 Stock and Incentive Plan and any instrument or agreement, including an Award Agreement, relating to the 2013 Stock and Incentive Plan; (x) establish, amend, suspend or waive such rules and regulations and appoint such agents as it shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the 2013 Stock and Incentive Plan; (xi) make any other determination and take any other action that the Compensation Committee deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the 2013 Stock and Incentive Plan; and (xii) adopt such modifications, rules, procedures and sub-plans as may be necessary or desirable to comply with provisions of the laws of non‑U.S. jurisdictions in which the Company or an affiliate may operate.

Stock Options

Stock Options granted under the 2013 Stock and Incentive Plan may be either “incentive stock options” or non-qualified stock options. The exercise price of a stock option granted under the 2013 Stock and Incentive Plan will be determined by the Compensation Committee at the time the option is granted, but the exercise price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common shares on the date of grant of such option. The fair market value is the closing price of one common share on the trading day immediately preceding the date of grant on the NYSE MKT Stock Exchange. The Compensation Committee may designate an exercise price below the fair market value on an option grant date if the option is granted in substitution for a stock option previously granted by an entity that is acquired or merged with our Company or an affiliate of our Company. In addition, stock options are subject to the following restrictions: (i) a promissory note is not permitted as payment for a stock option; (ii) the maximum term for stock options is 10 years from the date of grant; and (iii) unless otherwise fixed, stock options expire 3 months after the person to which they have been granted is terminated (12 months if due to death) and 3 trading days after a period during which trading in the common shares was prohibited or restricted.

Stock Appreciation Rights

The 2013 Plan provides that the Compensation Committee may, from time to time and in its sole discretion, grant awards of stock appreciation rights. A stock appreciation right granted under the 2013 Plan shall confer on the holder thereof a right to receive upon exercise thereof the excess of (i) the fair market value of a common share on the date of exercise over (ii) the grant price of the stock appreciation right as specified by the Compensation Committee, which price shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of one common share on the date of the grant of the stock appreciation right.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

The Compensation Committee is authorized to grant an Award of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units to participants with the following terms and conditions and with such additional terms and conditions not inconsistent with the provisions of the 2013 Plan as the Compensation Committee shall determine:

Restrictions. Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such restrictions as the Compensation Committee may impose (including, without limitation, any limitation on the right to vote a share of Restricted Stock or the right to receive any dividend or other right or property with respect thereto), which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such time or times, in such installments or otherwise as the Compensation Committee may deem appropriate.

ii)

Issuance and Delivery of Shares. Any Restricted Stock granted under the 2013 Plan shall be issued at the time such Awards are granted and may be evidenced in such manner as the Compensation Committee may deem appropriate, including book‑entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates, which certificate or certificates shall be held by the Company or held in nominee name by the stock transfer agent or brokerage service selected by the Company to provide such services for the Plan. Such certificate or certificates shall be registered in the name of the participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock. Shares representing Restricted Stock that are no longer subject to restrictions shall be delivered (including by updating the book‑entry registration) to the Participant promptly after the applicable restrictions lapse or are waived. In the case of Restricted Stock Units, no Shares shall be issued at the time such Awards are granted. Upon the lapse or waiver of restrictions and the restricted period relating to Restricted Stock Units evidencing the right to receive Shares, such Shares shall be issued and delivered to the holder of the Restricted Stock Units.

iii)

Forfeiture. Except as otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, upon a Participant’s termination of employment or resignation or removal as a Director (in either case, as determined under criteria established by the Compensation Committee) during the applicable restriction period, all Shares of Restricted Stock and all Restricted Stock Units held by such Participant at such time shall be forfeited and reacquired by the Company; provided, however, that the Compensation Committee may waive in whole or in part any or all remaining restrictions with respect to Shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units (e.g., in the event of the participant’s death, disability or retirement).

Certain amendments under the 2013 Stock and Incentive Plan may not be made without Shareholder approval, and these include: (i) amendments that require shareholder approval under the rules or regulations of the SEC, the NYSE MKT LLC, the Toronto Stock Exchange, the TSX Venture Exchange or any other securities exchange that is applicable to the Company; (ii) amendments that increase the number of shares authorized under the 2013 Stock and Incentive Plan as specified in Section 4(d) of the 2013 Stock and Incentive Plan; (iii) amendments that modify the limitations contained in Section 4(d) of the 2013 Stock and Incentive Plan; (iv) amendments that permit repricing of options or stock appreciation rights, which is currently prohibited by Section 6(f)(vii) of the 2013 Stock and Incentive Plan; (v) amendments that permit the award of options or stock appreciation rights at a price less than 100% of the fair market value of a Share on the date of grant of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, contrary to the provisions of 6(a)(i) and Section 6(b) of the 2013 Stock and Incentive Plan; or (vi) amendments that cause our Company to be unable to grant incentive stock options under the 2013 Stock and Incentive Plan, or would cause Section 162(m) to become unavailable with respect to the 2013 Stock and Incentive Plan.

Performance Awards

The Compensation Committee is authorized to grant performance awards that are intended to be “qualified performance‑based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 162(m)”). A performance award (“Performance Award”) granted under the 2013 Stock and Incentive Plan (i) may be denominated or payable in cash, shares (including, without limitation, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units), other securities, other Awards or other property and (ii) shall confer on the holder thereof the right to receive payments, in whole or in part, upon the achievement of one or more objective performance goals during such performance periods as the Compensation Committee shall establish. Subject to the terms of the 2013 Stock and Incentive Plan, the performance goals to be achieved during any performance period, the length of any performance period, the amount of any Performance Award granted, the amount of any payment or transfer to be made pursuant to any Performance Award and any other terms and conditions of any Performance Award shall be determined by the Compensation Committee. Performance Awards shall be conditioned solely on the achievement of one or more objective performance goals established by the Compensation Committee within the time prescribed by Section 162(m), and shall otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 162(m).

The following summary information is presented for the 2013 Stock and Incentive Plan as of December 31, 2013.



Plan Category		Number of Securities to be Issued Upon Exercise of Outstanding Options	Weighted-Average Exercise Price of Outstanding Options		Number of Securities Remaining Available for Future Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans (excluding column (a))
		(a)		(b)	(c)
Equity Compensation Plans	TSX	9,645,834	$	1.30	-
Approved by Security Holders	NYSE	399,000	$	0.87	6,546,580
Equity Compensation Plans Not Approved by Security Holders		-		-	-

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

Our named executive officers are not generally entitled to perquisites or other benefits not offered to employees. We sponsor a qualified tax-deferred savings plan in accordance with the provisions of Section 401(k) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

Effects of Regulatory Requirements on Executive Compensation

Various rules under current generally accepted accounting practices impact the manner in which we account for grants of stock options to employees, including executive officers, on our financial statements. While the Compensation Committee reviews the effect of these rules (including Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) Topic 718)) when determining the form and timing of grants of stock options to employees, including executive officers, this analysis is not necessarily the determinative factor in any such decision regarding the form and timing of these grants.

Clawback/Forfeiture Provisions

We do not have any formal agreements with officers, directors or employees concerning the return of bonuses or other compensation in the event they are found to have engaged in fraudulent or other inappropriate behavior or if performance measures are restated or adjusted in a manner that would reduce payments. We intend to follow the requirements of Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to recover bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation received by our CEO and CFO and any profits they realized from the sale of securities during the relevant periods in the event we are required to prepare an accounting restatement due to our material noncompliance, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under securities laws and would pursue other available remedies against them or other employees engaged in illegal activities. In addition, we intend to adopt a clawback policy in accordance with the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act when regulations concerning clawback policies are adopted by the SEC and NYSE.

Anti-Hedging

While the Company has not adopted a formal prohibition, the named executive officers and the directors are, as a matter of practice, discouraged from purchasing financial instruments designed to hedge or offset a decrease in the market value of shares, including shares granted as or underlying share-based compensation or otherwise held directly or indirectly by an named executive officer or a director. Further, the Company has a Business Ethics and Insider Trading policy.

EMPLOYMENT AND CONSULTING AGREEMENTS

Effective August 20, 2013, the Company engaged our former Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Fritz Schaudies to act as our Interim Chief Financial Officer. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company paid $61,994 in consulting fees related to this agreement.

On May 19, 2012, we entered into a consulting agreement with our former CEO, Daniel E. Wolfus for a term of twelve months. Under this agreement Mr. Wolfus provided advisory services from time to time. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we paid consulting fees totaling $65,776, under this agreement.

We have not entered into any other employment or consulting agreements with our named executive officers. We intend to enter into employment agreements with our named executive officers during 2014.

(1)

The Company’s named executives are paid an annual salary in US dollars by Midway Gold US Inc., a subsidiary of the Company. These amounts have been translated into Canadian dollars at the average respective exchange rates for each year.

(2)

This amount represents the theoretical fair value, on the date of grant, of stock options granted under the Plan during each fiscal year. There was no cash compensation paid to any of the named executive officers disclosed in the above table in connection with “option-based awards”. The grant date fair value has been calculated using the Black Scholes Merton model according to FASB ASC Topic 718 and will be recognized over the vesting term of the option. The key assumptions and estimates used for the calculation of the grant date fair value under this model include the risk-free interest rate, expected stock price volatility, expected life and expected dividend yield.

(3)

The amounts in “All Other Compensation” consist of (i) our 401(k) matching contributions and (ii) a one-time severance payment to Mr. Labate of $55,365.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

Other than Mr. Hale’s interest in the Series A Private Placement (as defined herein) as set forth in the “Certain Relationships and Related Transaction and Director Independence” section of this Proxy Statement, no person who served as a member of the Compensation Committee during fiscal year 2013 was a current or former officer or employee of the Company or engaged in certain transactions with the Company required to be disclosed by regulations of the SEC. Additionally, there were no compensation committee “interlocks” during 2013, which generally means that no executive officer of the Company served as a director or member of the compensation committee of another entity, which had an executive officer serving as a director or member of the Company’s Compensation Committee.

The Compensation Committee continually assesses the risks and implications associated with the compensation policies and practices of the Company to ensure that the Board and Management have the latitude and flexibility to enable the hiring and retention of key employees and competent employees for all positions within the Company while doing so within the requirements of the law and industry norms.

At this stage of the development of the Company, executive management performance is judged on a subjective basis rather than an objective basis in regards to share price or earnings per share. This may change as the Company progresses to a production company thereby creating revenue.

Operational performance and effectiveness is judged monthly by a comparison of activities accomplished versus those planned to be accomplished. Executive management redirects resources as necessary and possible where shortfalls or improvements are required. Overall Company performance is reflected in the total performance of the executive and management team.

PENSION BENEFITS

None.

NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION

None.

RETIREMENT, RESIGNATION OR TERMINATION PLANS

The Company sponsors an employee-directed 401(k) savings plan (the “401(k) Plan”) for all eligible employees over the age of 18. Under the 401(k) Plan, employees may make voluntary contributions based upon a percentage of their pre-tax income.

The Company began matching 50% of each employee’s contribution, up to 6% of the employee’s pre-tax income as of January 1, 2013. The Company’s cash contributions vest rateably over a three year service period.

LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN AWARDS

We currently do not have a long-term incentive plan. Accordingly, no such compensation was paid or distributed to the named executive officers during the financial year ended December 31, 2013. A “long-term incentive plan” means any plan providing compensation intended to serve as incentive for performance to occur over a period longer than one (1) financial year, but does not include an option or stock appreciation rights plan or plans for compensation through restricted shares or restricted share units.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND

MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The following tables set forth information as of April 25, 2014 regarding the ownership of our Shares by:

each person who is known by us to own more than 5% of our Shares; and

each named executive officer, each director and all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

The number of common shares beneficially owned and the percentage of common shares beneficially owned are based on a total of 171,940,484 common shares and Series A Preferred Shares (on an as converted basis) outstanding as of April 25, 2014. The number of Series A Preferred Shares beneficially owned and the percentage of Series A Preferred Shares are based on 37,837,838 Series A Preferred Shares outstanding as of April 25, 2014.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Common shares subject to options that are exercisable within 60 days following April 25, 2014 or preferred shares that are convertible within 60 days following April 25, 2014 are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the optionee or holder for the purpose of computing share and percentage ownership of that optionee or holder but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as indicated in the footnotes to this table, and as affected by applicable community property laws, all persons listed have sole or shared voting and investment power for all Shares shown as beneficially owned by them.

PROPOSAL 4 – APPROVAL OF SECTION 26.7(3)(i) OF THE COMPANY’S ARTICLES GRANTING THE SERIES A PREFERRRED SHAREHOLDERS PREFERENTIAL GOVERNANCE RIGHTS AND NOMINATION RIGHTS IN THE EVENT THAT WE FAIL TWICE TO REDEEM THE SERIES A PREFERRED SHARES

WHAT AM I VOTING ON?

Background

In connection with the Series A Private Placement, we amended the Articles to grant the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares preferential corporate governance and nomination rights in the event we fail to redeem the Series A Preferred Shares.

Sections 26.7(1) and 26.7(2) of the Articles (included as “Schedule A”) provide that either the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares or we may elect to redeem the Series A Preferred Shares on or after December 13, 2017 at a redemption price of $1.85 per share, plus all unpaid dividends accrued on such shares, whether declared or not. In the event that we prohibited from redeeming the Series A Preferred Shares within thirty (30) days after a demand for redemption by a holder of the Series A Preferred Shares and we have not completed a liquidation event (excluding a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our affairs) prior to the five (5) years from issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares, then we are required to distribute all of the legal available funds to the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares and repay any remaining amounts in equal quarterly payments for the period of two (2) years from the date on which redemption is demanded, and we shall engage at our expense an investment banker to assist and facilitate any transaction or capital raise and such redemption plan must be completed within 180 days of December 13, 2017.

In addition to the redemption rights as described above, if we are unable to redeem any Series A Preferred Shares two (2) years after a demand for redemption, then, subject to the approval of the majority of the holders of our common shares at the Meeting of this proposal, Section 26.7(3) of the Articles grants the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares the right to (i) voting as a single class (to the exclusion of the holders of all other securities and classes of our capital stock), vote to elect a majority of our Board, and (ii) in the event that our Articles do not permit the holders of Series A Preferred Shares to elect a majority of our Board, holders of Series A Preferred Shares may sell, as may be permitted by applicable law, on our behalf, our assets, in such holders’ discretion, that are sufficient to redeem any remaining Series A Preferred Shares.

Section 26.7(3)(i) of the Articles, which provides preferential rights to elect a majority of our Board, is only effective upon the holder of the common shares passing a special resolution approving such section.

Vote required approving this Proposal

The proposal will be approved if 2/3 of the votes cast by the holders of common shares are cast in favor of the proposal.

Consequences of a failure to approve this Proposal

If this proposal is not approved, in accordance with our obligations in connection with the Series A Private Placement, we will be required to seek Shareholder approval for this proposal at each subsequent annual or special meeting of our Shareholders until our Shareholders adopt this proposal.

Pursuant to our Articles, the approval of Section 26.7(3)(i) of the Articles requires a special separate resolution of the holders of common shares.

Accordingly, holders of common shares will be asked to approve the special resolution attached as Schedule “B” hereto in order to approve Section 26.7(3)(i) of the Articles.

The Board recommends a vote FOR the approval of the amendment to the our Articles permitting the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares preferential governance and nomination rights in the event we do not redeem the Series A Preferred Shares.

OTHER MATTERS

Management of the Company knows of no other matters to come before the Meeting other than as set forth above and in the Notice of Meeting. Should any other matters properly come before the Meeting, the shares represented by the proxies solicited hereby will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the person voting by proxy.
