MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

as at November 10, 2021

This management information circular ("Information Circular") is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by management of Trans Canada Gold Corp. (the "Company") for use at the annual general meeting (the "Meeting") of shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders") to be held on December 17, 2021 and any adjournment or postponement thereof, for the purposes set forth in the attached notice of Meeting. Except where otherwise indicated, the information contained herein is stated as of November 10, 2021.

In this Information Circular, references to the "Company" and "we" refer to Trans Canada Gold Corp. "Common Shares" means common shares without par value in the capital of the Company. "Registered Shareholders" means Shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of Common Shares. "Non- Registered Shareholders" means Shareholders who do not hold Common Shares in their own name. "Intermediaries" refers to brokers, investment firms, clearing houses and similar entities that own securities on behalf of Non-Registered Shareholders.

INTRODUCTION

This year, as part of our corporate social responsibility in response to COVID-19,and in order to mitigate potential risks to the health and safety of our shareholders, employees, communities and other stakeholders, the Company is encouraging shareholders to vote by proxy in advance of the Meeting rather than attending in person.Registered shareholders and validly appointed proxyholders who would rather attend the Meeting by video conference may do so by contacting Tim Coupland at 604-681-3131(orastar@telus.net) to obtain a weblink that will permit them to attend the Meeting by video conference. Shareholders who attend the Meeting by video conference will not be permitted to participate in any ballot that may be called for at the Meeting due to issues related to the verification of shareholder identity via video conference. Shareholders who attend via video conference are encouraged to vote their shares by Proxy or VIF in advance of the Meeting.

GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

Solicitation of Proxies

The solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, but proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone by directors, officers and regular employees of the Company. The Company will bear all costs of this solicitation. We have arranged to send meeting materials directly to Registered Shareholders, as well as Non-Registered Shareholders who have consented to their ownership information being disclosed by the Intermediary holding the Common Shares on their behalf (non-objecting beneficial owners). We have not arranged for Intermediaries to forward the meeting materials to Non- Registered Shareholders who have objected to their ownership information being disclosed by the Intermediary holding the Common Shares on their behalf (objecting beneficial owners). As a result, objecting beneficial owners will not receive the Information Circular and associated meeting materials unless their Intermediary assumes the costs of delivery.

Appointment and Revocation of Proxies

The individuals named in the accompanying form of proxy (the "Proxy") are officers of the Company. If you are a

Registered Shareholder, you have the right to attend the meeting or vote by proxy and to appoint a person or company other than the person designated in the Proxy, who need not be a Shareholder, to attend and act for you and on your behalf at the Meeting. You may do so either by inserting the name of that other person in the blank space provided in the Proxy or by completing and delivering another suitable form of Proxy.

If you are a Registered Shareholder you may wish to vote by proxy whether or not you are able to attend the Meeting in person. Registered Shareholders electing to submit a proxy may do so by completing, dating and signing the enclosed form of proxy and returning it to the Company's transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada ("Computershare"), in accordance with the instructions on the Proxy.

In all cases you should ensure that the Proxy is received at least 48 hours before the Meeting or the adjournment thereof at which the Proxy is to be used.

Every Proxy may be revoked by an instrument in writing:

  1. executed by the Shareholder or by his/her attorney authorized in writing or, where the Shareholder is a company, by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the company; and
  2. delivered either to the registered office of the Company at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, at which the Proxy is to be used, or to the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof,

or in any other manner provided by law.

Only Registered Shareholders have the right to revoke a Proxy. Non-Registered Shareholders who wish to change their vote must, at least seven days before the Meeting, arrange for their respective Intermediaries to revoke the Proxy on their behalf. If you are a Non-RegisteredShareholder, see "Voting by Non-RegisteredShareholders" below for further information on how to vote your Common Shares.

Exercise of Discretion by Proxyholder

If you vote by proxy, the persons named in the Proxy will vote or withhold from voting the Common Shares represented thereby in accordance with your instructions on any ballot that may be called for. If you specify a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, your Common Shares will be voted accordingly. The Proxy confers discretionary authority on the persons named therein with respect to:

  1. each matter or group of matters identified therein for which a choice is not specified,
  2. any amendment to or variation of any matter identified therein,
  3. any other matter that properly comes before the Meeting, and
  4. exercise of discretion of proxyholder.

In respect of a matter for which a choice is not specified in the Proxy, the persons named in the Proxy will vote the Common Shares represented by the Proxy for the approval of such matter. Management is not currently aware of any other matters that could come before the Meeting.

Voting by Non-Registered Shareholders

The following information is of significant importance to Shareholders who do not hold Common Shares in their own name. Non-Registered Shareholders should note that the only Proxies that can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting are those deposited by Registered Shareholders.

If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by an Intermediary, then in almost all cases those Common Shares will not be registered in the Shareholder's name on the records of the Company. Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Shareholder's Intermediary or an agent of that Intermediary. In the United States, the vast majority of such Common Shares are registered under the name of Cede

  • Co. as nominee for The Depository Trust Company (which acts as depositary for many U.S. brokerage firms and custodian banks), and in Canada, under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms).

If you have consented to disclosure of your ownership information, you will receive a request for voting instructions from the Company (through Computershare). If you have declined to disclose your ownership information, you may receive a request for voting instructions from your Intermediary if they have assumed the cost of delivering the Information Circular and associated meeting materials. Every Intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients. However, most Intermediaries now delegate responsibility for obtaining voting instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge") in the United States and in Canada.

If you are a Non-Registered Shareholder, you should carefully follow the instructions on the voting instruction form ("VIF") received from Computershare or Broadridge in order to ensure that your Common Shares are voted at the Meeting. The VIF supplied to you will be similar to the Proxy provided to the Registered Shareholders by the Company. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the Intermediary on how to vote on your behalf.

The VIF sent by Computershare or Broadridge will name the same persons as the Company's proxy to represent you at the Meeting. Although as a Non-Registered Shareholder you may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Common Shares registered in the name of your Intermediary, you, or a person designated by you (who need not be a Shareholder), may attend at the Meeting as Proxyholder for your Intermediary and vote your Common Shares in that capacity. To exercise this right to attend the meeting or appoint a Proxyholder of your own choosing, you should insert your own name or the name of the desired representative in the blank space provided in the VIF. Alternatively, you may provide other written instructions requesting that you or your desired representative attend the Meeting as Proxyholder for your Intermediary. The completed VIF or other written instructions must then be returned in accordance with the instructions on the form.

If you receive a VIF from Computershare or Broadridge, you cannot use it to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting - the VIF must be completed as described above and returned in accordance with its instructions well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS OR COMPANIES IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
