	of the Board to fix their remuneration.

	The Audit Committee and Risk currently consists of Fabiana Chubbs (Chair), George Ireland
	and Jinhee Magie. National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees provides that a member
	of an audit committee is “independent” if the member has no direct or indirect material
	relationship with the Company, which could, in the view of the Board, reasonably interfere
	with the exercise of the member’s independent judgment. The Board has determined that all
	members of the Audit Committee and Risk are “independent” directors.

6	Other Business

	The Company is not aware of any other business that may be raised at the Meeting. If any
	other matters do arise, our management who is named in the proxy intend to vote on any poll
	using their best judgement. They will exercise discretionary authority when considering any
	amendments or variations of matters set out in the Notice of Meeting, or other matters that
	may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment.
