The Board of Directors is pleased to announce that all resolutions put to a vote at the AGM passed with a 99.97% or higher approval from the votes cast. Audra J. Davies, Richard V. Gannon, Cheryl A.

On June 8, 2023, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of the Fixed Option Plan, subject to shareholder and regulatory approval, to align with the current TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") policies on equity compensation plans. The purpose of the Fixed Option Plan is to promote the interests of the Company and its shareholders by aiding the Company in attracting and retaining employees, officers, consultants, advisors and non-employee directors capable of assuring the future success of the Company, to offer such persons incentives to put forth maximum efforts for the success of the Company's business and to compensate such persons through stock option arrangements and provide them with opportunities for stock ownership in the Company, thereby aligning the interests of such persons with the Company's shareholders.
The maximum aggregate number of common shares of the Company that may be reserved for issuance under the Fixed Option Plan, together with all other security based compensation plans, at any point in time shall not exceed 8,282,257 common shares, which represents 20% of the outstanding shares upon the date of approval of the Fixed Option Plan by the Board of Directors. The Fixed Option Plan will replace the Company's current Rolling Option Plan. All future stock option grants will be made pursuant to, or as otherwise permitted by, the Fixed Option Plan, and no further stock option grants will be made pursuant to the Company's Rolling Option Plan. The Fixed Option Plan will supersede and replace the Company's Rolling Option Plan. There are 1,195,000 stock options outstanding.
