MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

As of May 21, 2024

ANNUAL GENERAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

to be held on Thursday, June 27, 2024

GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This management information circular (the “Circular”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of the management (the “Management”) of Western Uranium & Vanadium Corp. (the “Company” or “Western”) for use at the Annual General and Special Meeting of shareholders of the Company (the “Shareholders”) to be held at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Montrose, 1391 South Townsend Ave, Montrose, Colorado, USA at 2:00 pm (MT/local time), on Thursday the 27^th day of June 2024 and at any adjournment thereof (the “Meeting”) for the purposes set out herein and in the notice of meeting (the “Notice of Meeting”) accompanying this Circular.

Although it is expected that the solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, proxies may also be solicited personally by the directors and/or officers of the Company. Registered shareholders of the Company and beneficial holders of the Company’s shares holding through intermediaries will be sent a notice and form of proxy for the Meeting in accordance with notice-and-access rules. Arrangements have been made with brokerage houses and other intermediaries, clearing agencies, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the common shares (the “Shares”) held of record by such certain persons.

The approximate date on which proxy materials are expected to be first sent or given to Shareholders is May 28, 2024.

The record date for determining the Shareholders of the Company entitled to notice of, and to attend and vote their Shares at, the Meeting is May 13, 2024 (the “Record Date”).

NOTICE-AND-ACCESS

National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (“NI 54- 101”) and National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations (“NI 51-102”) allow for the use of the notice-and-access system for the delivery to shareholders of certain materials, including the notice of meeting, management information circular, annual financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis (collectively, the “Meeting Materials”) by reporting issuers.

Under the notice-and-access system, reporting issuers are permitted to deliver the Meeting Materials by posting them on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca as well as a website other than SEDAR+ and sending a notice package (the “Notice Package”) to Shareholders that includes: (i) the relevant form of proxy or voting instruction form; (ii) basic information about the meeting and the matters to be voted on; (iii) instructions on how to obtain a paper copy of the Meeting Materials; and (iv) a plain-language explanation of how the notice-and-access system operates and how the Meeting Materials can be accessed online.

As described in the notice-and-access notification mailing to the Shareholders, Western has elected to deliver its Meeting Materials to registered shareholders and beneficial holders using the notice-and-access system. Therefore, the Notice Package will be sent via prepaid mail directly to non-objecting beneficial owners (“NOBOs”) and, indirectly, through intermediaries to the objecting beneficial owners (“OBOs”); Western is not assuming the cost of such delivery to OBOs. Registered shareholders and those beneficial holders with existing instructions on their account to receive printed materials will receive a printed copy of the Meeting Materials with the Notice Package. Western is not using a procedure known as “stratification” in relation to its use of notice-and-access. Stratification occurs when a reporting issuer, while using notice-and-access, also provides a paper copy of the management information circular to some of its shareholders with the notice package. In relation to the Meeting, all Shareholders will receive the required documentation under the notice-and-access system.

The Meeting Materials can be viewed online under Western’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca or on Western’s website at www.western-uranium.com/annual-general-meetings.html. Shareholders may request paper copies of the Meeting Materials be sent to them by postal delivery at no cost. Requests for Meeting Materials may be made up to one year from the date the Circular was filed on SEDAR+ by emailing voteproxy@capitaltransferagency.com or by emailing the Company at ir@western-uranium.com. Shareholders who wish to receive paper copies of the Meeting Materials prior to the Meeting may request copies from Capital Transfer Agency ULC, the registrar and transfer agent for Western, by calling 1-844-499-4482 or by sending an email to voteproxy@capitaltransferagency.com no later than June 12, 2024.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

The persons named in the form of proxy for the Meeting were appointed by Management of the Company (the “Management Designees”). A REGISTERED SHAREHOLDER DESIRING TO APPOINT SOME OTHER PERSON, WHO NEED NOT BE A SHAREHOLDER OF THE COMPANY, TO REPRESENT HIM OR HER AT THE MEETING MAY DO SO by inserting such other person’s name in the blank space provided in the form of proxy and depositing the completed proxy with the Transfer Agent of the Company, Capital Transfer Agency ULC, 390 Bay Street, Suite 920, Toronto, Ontario M5H 2Y2. A proxy can be executed by the Shareholder or his attorney duly authorized in writing, or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized.

In addition to any other manner permitted by law, the proxy may be revoked before it is exercised by instrument in writing executed and delivered in the same manner as the proxy 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 delivered to the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof prior to the time of voting and upon either such occurrence, the proxy is revoked.

Please note that Shareholders who receive their Notice Package from Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Canada (“Broadridge”) must return the proxy forms, once voted, to Broadridge for the proxy to be processed.

DEPOSIT OF PROXY

ALL PROXIES TO BE USED AT THE MEETING MUST BE DEPOSITED WITH THE COMPANY’S TRANSFER AGENT, CAPITAL TRANSFER AGENCY ULC, NO LATER THAN 4:00 pm (ET/local time in Toronto, Ontario) ON TUESDAY, JUNE 25, 2024. An envelope for the return of completed proxies is also being sent to registered Shareholders.

ADVICE TO BENEFICIAL SHAREHOLDERS

Only registered Shareholders or the persons they appoint as their proxies are permitted to vote at the Meeting. However, in many cases, Shares owned by a person are registered either: (a) in the name of an intermediary (an “Intermediary”) that the non-registered holder deals with in respect of the Shares (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered registered savings plans, registered retirement income funds, registered education savings plans and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited (“CDS”)) of which the Intermediary is a participant (a “Non-Registered Holder”). In accordance with the requirements of NI 54-101, the Company is distributing the Meeting Materials to Shareholders by posting Meeting Materials on its website at www.western-uranium.com/annual-general-meetings.html. The Meeting Materials will be available on the Company’s website on or about May 28, 2024 and will remain on the website for one full year. The Meeting Materials will also be available under Western’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. The Company will only be mailing the Notice Package in connection with the Meeting. Intermediaries are required to forward the Notice Package to Non-Registered Holders unless a Non-Registered Holder has waived the right to receive it. Very often, Intermediaries will use service companies to forward the Notice Package to Non-Registered Holders. Generally, Non-Registered Holders who have not waived the right to receive the Notice Package will either:

a) be given a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number and class of securities beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Holder but which is not otherwise completed. Because the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the Non-Registered Holder when submitting the proxy. In this case, the Non-Registered Holder who wishes to vote by proxy should otherwise properly complete the form of proxy and deliver it as specified; or

b) be given a form of proxy which is not signed by the Intermediary and which, when properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Holder and returned to the Intermediary or its service company, will constitute voting instructions (often called a “Voting Instruction Form”) which the Intermediary must follow. Typically, the Non-Registered Holder will also be given a page of instructions which contains a removable label containing a bar code and other information. In order for the form of proxy to validly constitute a Voting Instruction Form, the Non-Registered Holder must remove the label from the instructions and affix it to the Voting Instruction Form, properly complete and sign the Voting Instruction Form and submit it to the Intermediary or its service company in accordance with the instructions of the Intermediary or its service company.

In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of the Shares they beneficially own at the Meeting. Should a Non-Registered Holder who receives either form of proxy wish to vote at the Meeting in person, the Non-Registered Holder should strike out the persons named in the form of proxy and insert the Non-Registered Holder’s name in the blank space provided. Non-Registered Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when and where the form of proxy or Voting Instruction Form is to be delivered.

All references to shareholders in this Circular and the accompanying instrument of proxy and Notice of Meeting are to Shareholders of record unless specifically stated otherwise.

EXERCISE OF DISCRETION BY PROXIES

Shares represented by properly executed proxies in favour of the persons designated in the form of proxy will be voted on or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholder on any ballot that may be called for and, where the person whose proxy is solicited specifies a choice with respect to the matters identified in the proxy.

Shares represented by properly executed proxies in favour of the persons designated in the form of proxy, provided for voting at the Meeting in the absence of any direction to the contrary, will be voted FOR the item of business as set out in the Notice of Meeting and as stated elsewhere in this Circular.

The form of proxy for the Meeting confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to any amendment, variation or other matters to come before the Meeting other than the matters referred to in the Notice of Meeting. IF ANY SUCH AMENDMENTS, VARIATIONS OR OTHER MATTERS WHICH ARE NOT NOW KNOWN TO THE MANAGEMENT DESIGNEES SHOULD PROPERLY COME BEFORE THE MEETING, THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THE PROXIES HEREBY SOLICITED WILL BE VOTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BEST JUDGMENT OF THE PERSON OR PERSONS VOTING SUCH PROXIES. As of the date of this Circular, Management of the Company knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting other than the matters referred to in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

EFFECTIVE DATE

The effective date of this Circular is May 21, 2024.

CURRENCY

Unless otherwise stated, all amounts expressed in this Circular are in United States Dollars.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

Each Shareholder of record will be entitled to one (1) vote for each Share held at the Meeting.

Shareholders of record of the Shares of the Company on the Record Date will be entitled either to attend the Meeting in person and vote Shares held by them at that Meeting or, provided an appropriately completed and executed proxy shall have been delivered to the Company as described herein, to attend and vote their Shares at the Meeting by proxy. However, if a holder of Shares of the Company has transferred any Shares after the Record Date and the transferee of such Shares establishes ownership thereof and makes a written demand, not later than ten (10) days before the Meeting, to be included in the list of Shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting, the transferee will be entitled to vote such Shares.

As of the Record Date, the authorized capital of the Company consisted of an unlimited number of common shares, of which 55,223,113 Shares were issued and outstanding as fully paid and non-assessable.

Holders of 10% or more of the Company’s Shares

To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Company, no person or company beneficially owns, controls or directs Shares carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to all outstanding Shares of the Company as at the Record Date.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended December 31, 2023 and the report of the auditor thereon (collectively, the “Financial Statements”) will be placed before Shareholders at the Meeting for their consideration. No formal action is expected to be taken at the Meeting to approve the Financial Statements. If any Shareholder has questions regarding the Financial Statements, such questions may be brought to the Management of the Company.

VOTES NECESSARY TO PASS RESOLUTIONS

A simple majority of affirmative votes cast at the Meeting is required to pass the resolutions described herein, except for the special resolution increasing the size of the board of directors of Western (the “Board”) from three (3) to four (4) and authorizing the Board to determine the number of directors which requires the vote of two thirds of the Shares voted thereon. If there are more nominees for election as directors than there are vacancies to fill, those nominees receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected or appointed, as the case may be, until all such vacancies have been filled. If the number of nominees for election is equal to the number of vacancies to be filled, all such nominees who receive a simple majority of affirmative votes cast at the Meeting will be declared elected by acclamation.

3

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

None of the directors or executive officers of the Company, no proposed nominee for election as a director of the Company, none of the persons who have been directors or executive officers of the Corporation since the commencement of the Company’s last completed financial year, and no associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting except as disclosed herein.

BUSINESS OF THE MEETING – MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

MATTER #1: APPROVAL OF CHANGES TO BOARD SIZE

The articles of incorporation, as amended, of the Company (the “Articles”) currently provide that the number of directors of the Company will be a minimum of three and a maximum of ten. At the Company’s shareholder meeting held on June 29, 2023, the shareholders elected a board of three directors. Management of Company is now proposing to add a fourth director to the Board and therefore the shareholders will be asked at the Meeting to approve the increase of the Board’s size from three to four seats.

Under sections 124(2) and 125(3) of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), where a minimum and maximum number of directors is provided for in the articles of a corporation, the corporation may pass a special resolution empowering the directors to determine, from time to time, the number of directors of the corporation and the number of directors to be elected at the annual meeting of the shareholders. Such resolution would also provide some flexibility in the future for the Board to add qualified individuals as members of the Board between meetings of the Shareholders, including for the purposes of uplisting the Company on a Canadian or US national securities exchange, and avoid the cost of calling a special meeting of the Shareholders to add qualified individual(s) to the Board. However, the directors may not, between meetings of shareholders, appoint one or more additional directors if, after such appointment, the total number of directors would be greater than one and one-third times the number of directors required to have been elected at the annual meeting of shareholders.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to pass the following special resolution (the “Board Size Resolution”) to increase the size of the board from three (3) to four (4) directors and empower the Board to determine the number of directors of the Company from time to time and the number of directors to be elected at the annual meeting of the shareholders within the minimum and maximum provided for in the Articles of the Company, substantially in the following form:

“BE IT RESOLVED, AS A SPECIAL RESOLUTION, THAT:

(a) the number of directors of the Company is hereby increased from three (3) to four (4) directors;

(b) until otherwise determined by special resolution of Shareholders, the Board of Directors of the Company is authorized and empowered by special resolution of the Shareholders to determine the number of directors of the Company from time to time and the number of directors to be elected at meetings of the shareholders of the Company, all within the minimum and maximum provided for in the articles of incorporation of the Company, as amended from time to time; and

(c) any one director or officer of the Company be and they are hereby authorized, for and on behalf of the Company, to take such other actions as such director or officer may determine to be necessary or desirable to implement this special resolution and the matters authorized hereby, such determination to be conclusively evidenced by the execution and delivery of any such documents or instruments and the taking of any such actions.”

The approval by Shareholders requires a favourable vote of at least two thirds of the Shares voted in respect of the Board Size Resolution at the Meeting. The Board has concluded that the adoption of the Board Size Resolution is in the best interests of the Company. Accordingly, the Board recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the Board Size Resolution.

Unless a proxy specifies that the Shares it represents are to be voting against the Board Size Resolution, the proxies named in the form of proxy intend to vote in favour of the Board Size Resolution.

4

MATTER #2: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Articles of the Company currently provide that the number of directors of the Company will be a minimum of three and a maximum of ten. The term of office of the current three directors expires at the Meeting. All of the current directors (namely, George E. Glasier, Bryan Murphy and Andrew Wilder) are nominated for re-election at the Meeting as Management’s nominees. In addition, Management proposes that a fourth director, Michael Skutezky, be elected at the Meeting.

The persons named in the proxy for the Meeting, if not expressly directed otherwise in such proxy, intend to vote the Shares in respect of which they have been appointed proxyholder in favour of the election as directors of those persons listed below as nominees. Each director elected will hold office until the close of the next annual meeting of shareholders of the Company following his election unless his office is earlier vacated in accordance with the applicable rules. Management recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of these nominees.

The following table sets out the name of each person proposed to be nominated by Management for election as a director, all other positions and offices with the Company and any significant affiliate now held by him, if any, his principal occupation or employment, the period or periods of service as a director of the Company and the approximate number of Shares of the Company beneficially owned by him directly or indirectly, by, or subject to control or direction of, such person as of the date of this Circular:

INFORMATION CONCERNING THE COMPANY

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Basis of Reporting

The Company, originally named Western Uranium Corporation, was created on November 20, 2014 when Homeland Uranium Inc. changed its name subsequent to a reverse takeover of Homeland Uranium Inc. by Pinon Ridge Mining LLC. As part of that process, Homeland Uranium Inc. acquired 100% of the members’ interests of Pinon Ridge Mining LLC and subsequent to obtaining appropriate shareholder approvals, the Company reconstituted its Board and senior Management team. Homeland Uranium Inc. was a non-listed reporting issuer subject to the rules and regulations of the Ontario Securities Commission (the “OSC”). Concurrent with the reverse takeover, the Company completed a listing process on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”).

In March 2015, Western and Black Range Minerals Limited (“Black Range”) entered into a definitive Merger Implementation Agreement, pursuant to which Western agreed to acquire all of the issued shares of Black Range by way of Scheme of Arrangement under the Australian Corporations Act 2001. On September 16, 2015, Western completed its takeover of Black Range, an Australian company that was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange until the acquisition was completed.

On May 23, 2016, the Company’s common shares were approved for the commencement of trading on the OTCQX Market under the symbol “WSTRF”, and thereafter became an SEC reporting company on June 27, 2016. In October 2018, the Company changed its name from Western Uranium Corporation to Western Uranium & Vanadium Corp. As of the date of this Circular, the Company is no longer an US domestic issuer but it is a voluntary SEC reporting company.

Western’s common shares continue to trade on the CSE under the symbol “WUC”. In 2016, Western began presenting its consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP), replacing the former International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) presentation.

Consequently, the disclosure in this section is being presented in accordance with the rules of the OSC. In order to conform to its financial statement presentation a reporting currency of U.S. dollars is utilized in all the tables.

Pursuant to NI 51-102, the Company is required to disclose all compensation for services rendered to the Company for its two most recently completed financial years in respect of the following: (i) the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), (ii) the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and (iii) any other executive officer whose compensation in any of those years exceeded CAD$150,000 (together, “Named Executive Officers”), as well as directors. During the financial years ended on December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had two Named Executive Officers: George Glasier (President and CEO) and Robert Klein (CFO).

Employment, Consulting and Management Contracts

George Glasier

On February 8, 2017, the Company entered into an employment agreement with George Glasier, its Chief Executive Officer. The employment agreement automatically renews each year unless either party provides a 90-day advance written notice of their desire to not renew the agreement. The employment agreement provides for a base salary of $180,000 per year, the amount of which is subject to review by the board of directors at least annually, and the agreement also provides for a discretionary annual cash bonus to be determined by the Board. On May 30, 2019, the Board approved an addendum to Mr. Glasier’s employment agreement, increasing his annual salary from $180,000 to $220,000. In December 2021, the Board approved an increase to Mr. Glasier’s base salary from $220,000 to $250,000. In December 2023, the Board approved an increase to Mr. Glasier’s base salary from $250,000 to $300,000. Pursuant to the employment agreement, if the Company terminates the employment agreement without cause, or if a change of control occurs, the Company is required to pay to Mr. Glasier a lump sum payment equal to two and one-half times his annual base salary. The agreement defines “change of control” as follows: (a) a transaction or series of transactions whereby a person or a group becomes owner directly or indirectly of at least 50% of the securities of Western; (b) a transaction or series of transactions whereby the Company transfers all or substantially all its assets; and (c) a merger or a consolidation between Western and another entity whereby Western’s shareholders prior to such merger or consolidation own less than 80% of the voting shares of the surviving entity.

10

Robert Klein

On November 12, 2020, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with its Chief Financial Officer, Robert Klein. The agreement was effective as of October 1, 2020 and has an initial term that ended on September 30, 2021. The agreement will automatically renew for successive annual terms unless either party provides a 90-day advance written notice of their intention not to renew. The Agreement provides for a base salary of $150,000 per year, the amount of which is subject to review by the Board of Directors at least annually. In December 2023, the Board approved an increase to Mr. Klein’s base salary from $150,000 to $200,000. Under the agreement, Mr. Klein is eligible to receive bonuses after the end of each calendar year or earlier in the discretion of the Board, and a bonus will also be considered upon the closing of a strategic transaction by the Company. The agreement provides that Mr. Klein is eligible to participate generally in any employee benefit plan of the Company or its affiliates and to receive annual stock option grants under the Company’s incentive stock option plan in amounts to be determined and approved by the Board.

Bryan Murphy

Bryan Murphy provides his services as director and member of the Audit Committee of the Company through Magellan Limited (a company owned and controlled by Mr. Murphy) as per a director compensation and indemnification agreement between the Company and Magellan Limited entered into on January 31, 2018. The monthly compensation paid by the Company to Mr. Murphy for his services as director, member of the Audit Committee, and Chairman is CAD$8,000 plus HST.

Andrew Wilder

Summary of Incentive Stock Option Plan

The Company has in place an Incentive Stock Option Plan dated May 24, 2023 (the “2023 ISOP”) which permits the grant of stock options to officers, directors, employees, consultants and others. That plan is a rolling 10% stock option plan or an “evergreen plan” as described in Policy 6. Distributions & Corporate Finance of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”). The 2023 ISOP as approved by the shareholders of Western at the shareholder meeting held on June 29, 2023. In accordance with the CSE Policies, the 2023 ISOP must be re-approved by the shareholders of the Company no later than June 29, 2026 being the date that is three years after the date of the most recent approval. The 2023 ISOP has been filed and is available under Western’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar.

The purpose of the 2023 ISOP is to attract, retain and motivate directors, management, staff and consultants by providing them with the opportunity, through stock options, to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company and benefit from its growth.

11

The 2023 ISOP provides that the aggregate number of Shares for which stock options may be granted will not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares at the time stock options are granted. At December 31, 2023, a total of 50,002,089 Shares were outstanding, and at that date the maximum number of stock options eligible for issuance was 5,000,208. As at the date of this Circular, there are 4,548,334 stock options outstanding, each option entitling the option-holder to purchase one common share of the Company, as follows:

Number of Options	Exercise Price	Expiration Date
458,334(1)	C$1.03	January 6, 2025
900,000(1)	C$1.76	February 9, 2027
1,665,000(2)	C$1.60	October 31, 2027
1,525,000(1)	C$1.60	January 31, 2029

(1) These options expire in three equal tranches with the first expiration date being noted in the last column of the table.

(2) These options expire in two equal tranches with the first expiration date being noted in the last column of the table.

A stock option exercise price shall not be less than the most recent share issuance price, and the maximum term calculated from the vesting date is five years. There are no specific vesting provisions under the Plan and options are non-assignable and non-transferable. The 2023 ISOP provides that if an optionee’s employment is terminated for any reason, or if the service of a director, senior executive or consultant of the Company who is an optionee is terminated, any vested stock option of such optionee may be exercised during a period of 90 days following the date of termination of such employment or service, as the case may be. In the case of an optionee’s death, any vested stock option of such optionee at the time of death may be exercised by his or her heirs or legatees or their liquidator during a period of one year following such optionee’s death.

The total number of Shares issuable to any one person during a 12-month period may not exceed ten percent (10%) of the total number of common shares issued and outstanding. In addition, no person may be granted a number of options that would exceed five percent (5%) of the total number of common shares issued and outstanding at the time of the grant. In any 12-month period, no options exercisable for more than 2% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares may be awarded to persons engaged by the Company to conduct investor relations activities. If options are terminated, lapse or are exercised under the 2023 ISOP, the associated Shares become available again and new options may be granted in respect thereof in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

An optionee may elect to exercise any option by paying the exercise price in full or through a cashless exercise whereby the Company receives no cash payment at exercise and the option-holder receives only a number of Shares equal to the in-the-money value of the Shares underlying the options (by reference to the volume weighted average trading price of those Shares for the 20 trading days before exercise). In addition, the Board may arrange, in its sole discretion, a broker-assisted cashless exercise program whereby the optionee may elect to exercise any option: (a)by receiving an amount equal to the cash proceeds realized upon the sale of the Shares underlying the options less the aggregate exercise price; (b) by receiving a number of Shares that is equal to the number of Shares underlying the options minus the number of Shares sold by the broker; or (c) a combination of (a) and (b). As of the date hereof, no such program was implemented by the Board.

In the event of a “change of control” any unvested options shall vest immediately, and any outstanding options shall remain outstanding for the entire period regardless of the optionee’s status with the Company following the change of control. The 2023 ISOP defines “change of control” as follows: (a) a transaction or series of transactions whereby a person or a group becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of at least 20% of Western’s outstanding shares; (b) a transaction or series of transactions whereby the Company transfers all or substantially all its assets; and (c) a merger or a consolidation between western and another entity whereby Western’s shareholders prior to such merger or consolidation own less than 80% of the voting shares of the surviving entity. In addition, the expiry date of any outstanding option due to expire during a blackout period shall be automatically adjusted to expire on the tenth trading day after the end of the blackout period.

The Board may make any amendment to the 2023 ISOP, without shareholder approval, except an increase in the number of common shares reserved for issue under the Plan or a reduction of an option exercise price. Subject to any applicable rules (including CSE policies), the terms of any existing option may not be altered, suspended or discontinued without the consent in writing of the Optionee.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

Corporate governance refers to the policies and structure of the board of directors of a company, whose members are elected by and accountable to the shareholders of the Company. Corporate governance encourages establishing a reasonable degree of independence of the board of directors from executive management and the adoption of policies to ensure the board of directors recognizes the principles of good management. The Board believes that good corporate governance improves corporate performance and benefits all Shareholders and is committed to sound corporate governance practices.

The Canadian Securities Administrators (the “CSA”) have adopted National Policy 58-201 – Corporate Governance Guidelines, which provides non-prescriptive guidelines on corporate governance practices for reporting issuers such as the Company. In addition, the CSA have implemented National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices, which prescribes certain disclosure by the Company of its corporate governance practices. This section sets out the Company’s approach to corporate governance and addresses the Company’s compliance with Form 58-101F2 – Corporate Governance Disclosure.

Director Independence

The Board of the Company facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over Management by ensuring representation on the Board by directors who are independent of Management and by promoting frequent interaction and feedback.

Directors are considered to be independent if they have no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. A “material relationship” is a relationship which could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgment.

The Company’s Board currently consists of three directors. Among this group, Bryan Murphy and Andrew Wilder are independent Directors based upon the tests for independence set forth in National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees (“NI 52-110”). If elected at the Meeting, Michael Skutezky will be an independent Director.

Directorships

Michael Skutezky is a director of the following reporting issuers: Green Shift Commodities Ltd., and New Break Resources Ltd. None of the current directors of the Company serves on the board of directors of a reporting issuer.

Compensation Principles

The main objective of the Company’s executive compensation program is to ensure that executive compensation is fair and reasonable, rewards directors and Management’s performance, and is successful in attracting and retaining experienced executives. The Company’s compensation program is based on the principle that the compensation should be aligned with the short, medium and long-term interests of Company’s Shareholders. The Company’s compensation program also recognizes that the various components thereof must be sufficiently flexible to adapt to unpredictable developments in the uranium and vanadium markets.

The Company’s executive compensation program is comprised of three primary components: (a) base salary; (b) a short-term incentive plan, which includes the potential for cash bonuses; and (iii) a long-term incentive plan, which consists of grants of stock options. The Board does not have a compensation committee and executive compensation is determined by the Board as a whole. In determining the executive compensation, the Board bears in mind the nature of the Company and scope of its operations, the small number of executive officers and the financial health of the Company.

The base salary of each executive is reviewed and evaluated by the Board based on the principles, objectives, criteria and processes outlined above. Upon the Company’s listing on the CSE, the Board established compensation for each director who is not otherwise remunerated by the Company. That compensation was subsequently increased to CAD$2,000 per month for those directors who are not serving as Chairman or are not otherwise remunerated by the Company.

14

The Company entered into an employment agreement with its CEO at the beginning of 2017. At the request of the Board, the CEO’s employment agreement was prepared by a large regional law firm in the US with a well-regarded employment law practice. That Denver headquartered firm conducted a survey of comparable mining companies with assets in Colorado to derive both compensation and employment provisions. The resulting proposed agreement was presented to the Board and, after slight modification, was presented to the CEO. The employment agreement provides for a base salary of $180,000 per year, the amount of which is subject to review by the board of directors at least annually. On May 30, 2019, the Board approved an addendum to Mr. Glasier’s employment agreement, increasing his annual salary from $180,000 to $220,000, and in December 2022 the Board increased his annual salary from $220,000 to $250,000. A $53,000 bonus was awarded in the 2023 financial year.

In November 2020, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with its CFO. That agreement has similar general terms and conditions to the CEO employment agreement, although certain key terms are different (for details on the CEO and CFO employment agreements, please refer to section “Employment, Consulting and Management Contracts” of this Circular). A short-term incentive award, if any, in the form of a cash bonus may be awarded by the Board based on the principles, objectives, criteria and processes outlined above. A $33,000 bonus was awarded in the 2023 financial year.

With regard to long-term incentives, the Company has a stock option plan which permits the granting of options to purchase common shares to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The stock option plan was approved by the Shareholders of the Company and is administered by the Board. The amount of options to be granted to an executive is determined by the Board based on the principles, objectives, criteria and processes outlined above. The Board granted an aggregate of 1,000,000 stock options to the Company’s executives and directors during the 2023 financial year.

The Company’s executive compensation program has allowed the Company to attract and retain a team of motivated executives who are working towards the common goal of enhancing the Company’s value. The Board will periodically review the executive compensation program to ensure that the resulting compensation remains consistent with the performance of the Company.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

The Board as a whole is responsible for risk oversight for the Company. The Company’s executive officers address and discuss with the Board the Company’s risks and the manner in which the Company manages or mitigates such risks. While the Board has the ultimate responsibility for the Company’s risk oversight, the Board works in conjunction with its audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) on certain aspects of its risk oversight responsibilities. In particular, the Audit Committee focuses on financial reporting risks and related controls and procedures. The Company does not currently have a compensation committee or a nominating committee, so the full Board evaluates the risks associated with the Company’s compensation philosophy and programs and strives to create compensation practices that do not encourage excessive levels of risk taking that would be inconsistent with the Company’s strategies and objectives, and it oversees risks associated with the Company’s Code of Ethics.

The Company’s leadership structure is enhanced by having two separate individuals serving as CEO and Chairman of the Board. The Company believes that such a structure allows for a more effective monitoring and objective evaluation of the performance of Management.

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Company does not currently have a formal orientation program for new directors. The Board’s continuing education is typically derived from correspondence with the Company’s auditors, solicitors, and other advisers to remain up to date with the relevant corporate and securities law matters.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board adopted a written Code of Ethics on September 12, 2015. The role of the Board is to oversee the conduct of the Company’s business, to set corporate policy and to supervise Management, which is responsible for the day- to-day conduct of business. However, given the size of the Company, all material transactions are addressed at Board level.

15

Insider Trading Policy

The Company has adopted a Disclosure, Confidentiality and Insider Trading Policy setting forth policies and procedures governing the purchase, sale, and other dispositions of the Company’s securities by directors, officers and employees, or by the Company itself, that are reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and listing standards applicable to the Company.

Nomination of Directors

Because of the Company’s relatively small size, the Company does not have a standing nominating committee. Directors are nominated by the Board, which considers individual director qualifications as a whole. The Board believes that this is a practical approach at this stage of the Company’s development and given the size of the Board. While there are no specific criteria for Board membership, the Company attempts to attract and maintain directors with business acumen and a deep knowledge of mineral exploration and development or other areas such as accounting and finance, capital raising and project development which would assist in guiding the Company’s officers in the performance of their roles.

Pension Plan Benefits

There is no pension plan benefit for any Named Executive Officer or executive officer, employee or former director, executive officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

Attendance of Directors at Meetings

Ten (10) meetings of the Board were held in 2023, and all directors attended all such meetings either in person or by electronic means. The Company does not have a policy regarding attendance of directors at shareholder meetings. All those who were directors at the time attended, either in person or by electronic means, the Company’s last annual general meeting held on June 29, 2023. This year, all current directors have indicated that they intend to attend the Meeting by electronic means if not able to attend in person.

INDEBTEDNESS OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

No director, nominee for election as a director, executive officer, employee or former director, executive officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or any of their associates or other member of Management of the Company, was indebted to the Company at any time since the beginning of the most recently completed financial year or as at the date hereof.

INTEREST OF INFORMED PERSONS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

Except as otherwise disclosed in this Circular, no director or officer of the Company, no proposed nominee for election to the Board, no person owning or exercising control over more than 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares, and no associate or affiliate of any such person has had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any material transaction involving the Company since the commencement of the most recent completed financial year.
