Risk Factors
|
•
|
the timing and cost, which can be considerable, of the construction of mining and processing facilities;
|
•
|
the availability and costs of skilled labour and mining equipment;
|
•
|
the availability and cost of appropriate smelting and/or refining arrangements;
|
•
|
the need to obtain necessary environmental and other governmental approvals and permits, and the timing of those approvals and permits; and
|
•
|
the availability of funds to finance construction and development activities.
|
•
|
anticipated tonnage, grades and metallurgical characteristics of the ore to be mined and processed;
|
•
|
anticipated recovery rates of gold, copper and other metals from the ore;
|
•
|
cash operating costs of comparable facilities and equipment; and
|
•
|
anticipated climatic conditions.
|
•
|
costs;
|
•
|
actual mineralization;
|
•
|
consistency and reliability of ore grades; and
|
•
|
commodity prices.
|
•
|
the accuracy of mineral resource estimates;
|
•
|
the accuracy of assumptions regarding ore grades and recovery rates;
|
•
|
ground conditions;
|
•
|
physical characteristics of ores;
|
•
|
the presence or absence of particular metallurgical characteristics; and
|
•
|
the accuracy of estimated rates and costs of mining, ore haulage and processing.
|
•
|
fluctuations in operating results;
|
•
|
changes in governmental regulation;
|
•
|
litigation;
|
•
|
general stock market and economic conditions;
|
•
|
number of shares available for trading (float); and
|
•
|
inclusion in or dropping from stock indexes.
|
•
|
it would no longer be exempt from certain of the provisions of U.S. securities laws, such as Regulation FD and the Section 16 short swing
profit rules;
|
•
|
it would be required to commence reporting on forms required of U.S. companies, such as Forms l0-K, 10-Q and 8-K, rather than the forms
currently available to it, such as Forms 20-F and 6-K;
|
•
|
it would be subject to additional restrictions on offers and sales of securities outside the United States, including in Canada; and
|
•
|
if it engages in capital raising activities after losing its foreign private issuer status, there is a higher likelihood that investors may
require the Company to file resale registration statements with the SEC as a condition to any such financing.

Cateo: A Cateo is an exploration permit for a parcel of land measure in units of 500 ha and can vary in
size from a single unit to a maximum of 20 units (10,000 ha). The holding of a Cateo is associated with relinquishing ground based on a formula varying from 300 to 700 days and reduction in ground held to 50% of that originally claimed;
|
•
|
Manifestación de Descubrimiento (“MD”): A Cateo can be converted into an MD after discovering a mineral
occurrence of interest within a Cateo. The owner can apply for an MD around his discovery at any time within the period of the corresponding Cateo. The maximum area of an MD is 3,000 ha and remains in force until such time as the property
is legally surveyed, an essential prior step to the longer term granting of a “Mina”; and
|
•
|
Minas: Minas are mining concessions or leases which permit mining on a commercial basis. The area of a
mina is measured in “pertenencias” and will vary in size according to the distinction between vein and disseminated targets believed to occur on the property. Individual mining authorities (the provinces) may determine the number of
pertenencias required to cover the geologic extent of the mineral deposit in question. Once granted, minas have an indefinite term assuming exploration, development or mining is in progress.

Notes:
(1)Effective date of 31 December 2018;
(2)Mineral resources are estimated at a block cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t Au_equ;
(3)Figures may not add up due to rounding;
(4)Gold equivalent (“Au_equ”) values are calculated at a ratio of 81.25.5:1 Ag/Au;
(5)Mineral resources are estimated using a long-term metal prices of USD$1,300 per ounce (gold); and, USD$16 per ounce (silver);
(6)A minimum mining width of two metres was used when modelling the resources;
(7)Bulk densities for the mineralised zones are 2.44 t/m3 (oxide), 2.54 t/m3 (fresh);
(8)Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability;
(9)The quantity and grade of reported inferred mineral resources in this estimate are uncertain in nature and there
has been insufficient exploration to define these inferred mineral resources as measured or indicated mineral resources.

|
The drilling orientation is predominantly targeting the BZ mineralization which dips opposite to the EZ mineralization, therefore most of the
drilling is intersecting sub-parallel to the EZ domains; and
|
•
|
Selective sampling is common within the multiple vein hosted zones of mineralization above the Bonanza Fault breccia zone. Several of the EZ
mineralized domains contain un-sampled intervals in-between mineralized high-grade intersections.

•
|
Level 1: inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Active markets are those in which transactions
occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
|
|
|
•
|
Level 2: inputs, other than quoted prices, that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 valuations are based on inputs, including
quoted forward prices for commodities, market interest rates, and volatility factors, which can be observed or corroborated in the marketplace.
|
|
|
•
|
Level 3: inputs are less observable, unavoidable or where the observable data does not support the majority of the instruments’ fair value.

Patagonia Gold Corp.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018
(In thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated)
|
a)
|
As of February 2021, Cantomi Uruguay is no longer a related party as Carlos Miguens no longer has control of the Company.
|
|
|
|
|
b) | On March 8, 2021, the Company received definitive environmental permits (“Permits”) for both the development of its flagship Cap-Oeste Gold/Silver Project and the restart of its Lomada de Leiva (“Lomada”) Gold Project. These Permits allow for the development and operation of mining operations in the mining friendly Santa Cruz Province in Argentina. | |
c) | On March 10, 2021, the Company completed a private placement offering and raised gross proceeds of $9.3 million through the issuance of 104,086,063 units of the Company at a price of $0.09 per unit. Each unit consisted of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant (“Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.13 until March 10, 2024. | |
In connection with the private placement, the Company paid $226 in cash commission and advisory fees to the Agents and issued 2,509,586 compensation options. Each compensation option
is exercisable for one unit of the Company at a price of $0.09 per compensation option. Each unit consists of one common share of the Company and one Warrant. Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common share at an
exercise price of $0.13 until March 10, 2024.
|
||
d) | On March 12, 2021, the Company exercised the option to acquire 100% interest in the Mina Angela property. In connection with the exercising of the option, the Company will pay the second earn-in payment of $250 and a final payment of $500 is expected to be paid within 30 days of the verification that legal restrictions preventing development of mining activity in the Chubut Province and at the Mina Angela property have been lifted in such a manner that Patagonia thereafter has the ability to perform exploration and exploitation mining activities on Mina Angela property. For more information, see note 7. | |
e)
|
On April 19, 2021, the Company entered into definitive agreements to acquire two projects in Argentina. Patagonia entered into a definitive option agreement dated April 15, 2021 (the “Option Agreement”) with Mirasol Resources Ltd. (“Mirasol”) and Mirasol’s wholly-owned subsidiary Australis S.A. (“Australis” and together with Mirasol, the “Vendors”), which grants Patagonia an option to acquire a 75% undivided interest in and to Australis’ rights and interest in the Homenaje project (the “Homenaje Project”) located in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina. Patagonia also entered into a definitive transfer agreement dated April 15, 2021 (the “Transfer Agreement”) with the Vendors, which grants Patagonia a 100% undivided interest in and to Australis’ rights and interest in the Nico project (the “Nico Project”) located in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina. The Nico Project was previously explored by Mirasol, while the Homenaje Project, which is adjacent to two mining operations, holds targets that have yet to be drilled. | |
Pursuant to the Option Agreement, Patagonia has an option to earn a 75% interest in the Homenaje Project over six years upon achievement of the following (collectively, the “Earn-In Obligations”): | ||
• |
an initial work program over six years of $2.55 million in exploration expenditures, including 2,500 meters of drilling, on the Homenaje Project;
|
|
• | expenditures on exploration activities with respect to the Homenaje Project (the “Exploration Expenditures”) of a minimum of $0.4 million over the first 18-months; | |
• | following completion of the initial Exploration Expenditures and drilling obligations due within the first 30 months, Patagonia must complete a minimum of $0.4 million of Exploration Expenditures in any 12-month period, and a minimum of $0.2 million of Exploration Expenditures in any six-month period; and | |
• | a pre-feasibility study, prepared in accordance with NI 43-101, for a mineral resource of not less than 300,000 ounces of gold equivalent. | |
Upon Patagonia completing the Earn-In Obligations, Patagonia and the Vendors will hold 75% and 25%, respectively, in a joint venture company holding the Homenaje Project. If either party’s equity interest is diluted below 10%, it will convert to a 2% NSR royalty. | ||
Pursuant to the terms of the Transfer Agreement, Patagonia has acquired the Vendors’ interest in the Nico Project in exchange for a 1.5% NSR royalty. If, by the end of third-year, the Nico Project has not been operated as a producing mine, or Patagonia has not produced and shipped minerals in commercial quantities (excluding bulk sampling or pilot plant operations, if any) from the Nico Project for a period of 30 consecutive days, Mirasol will have the right to regain full ownership of the Nico Project at no cost. |

mean the directors or sole director of the Company for the time being;
|

time in force and all amendments thereto and includes all regulations and amendments thereto made pursuant to that Act;

|
1.2
|
The definitions in the Act and the definitions and rules of construction in the Interpretation Act, with the necessary changes, so far as applicable, and except as
the context requires otherwise, apply to these Articles as if they were an enactment. If there is a conflict between a definition in the Act and a definition or rule in the Interpretation Act relating to a term used in these Articles,
the definition in the Act will prevail. If there is a conflict or inconsistency between these Articles and the Act, the Act will prevail.
|
2.1
|
The authorized share structure of the Company consists of shares of the class or classes and series, if any, described in the Notice of Articles of the Company.
|
2.2
|
Each share certificate issued by the Company must comply with, and be signed as required by, the Act.
|
2.3
|
Unless the shares of which the shareholder is the registered owner are uncertificated shares, each shareholder is entitled, without charge, to (a) one share
certificate representing the shares of each class or series of shares registered in the shareholder’s name or (b) a non-transferable written acknowledgment of the shareholder’s right to obtain such a share certificate, provided that in
respect of a share held jointly by several persons, the Company is not bound to issue more than one share certificate and delivery of a share certificate for a share to one of several joint shareholders or to one of the shareholders’
duly authorized agents will be sufficient delivery to all. If a shareholder is the registered owner of uncertificated shares, the Company must send to a holder of an uncertificated share a written notice containing the information
required by the Act within a reasonable time after the issue or transfer of such share.
|
2.4
|
Any share certificate or non-transferable written acknowledgment of a shareholder’s right to obtain a share certificate, or written notice of the issue or transfer
of an uncertificated share may be sent to the shareholder by mail at the shareholder’s registered address and neither the Company nor any director, officer or agent of the Company is liable for any loss to the shareholder because the
share certificate, acknowledgement or written notice is lost in the mail or stolen.
|
2.5
|
If a share certificate or a non-transferable written acknowledgment of the shareholder’s right to obtain a share certificate is worn out or defaced, the Company
must, on production of the share certificate or acknowledgment, as the case may be, and on such other terms, if any, as are deemed fit:
|
(a)
|
cancel the share certificate or acknowledgment; and
|
(b)
|
issue a replacement share certificate or acknowledgment.
|
2.6
|
If a share certificate or a non-transferable written acknowledgment of a shareholder’s right to obtain a share certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed, a
replacement share certificate or acknowledgment, as the case may be, must be issued to the person entitled to that share certificate or acknowledgment, if the requirements of the Act are satisfied, as the case may be, if the directors
receive:
|
(a)
|
proof satisfactory to it of the loss, theft or destruction; and
|
(b)
|
any indemnity the directors consider adequate.
|
2.7
|
If a shareholder surrenders a share certificate to the Company with a written request that the Company issue in the shareholder’s name two or more share
certificates, each representing a specified number of shares and in the aggregate representing the same number of shares as the share certificate so surrendered, the Company must cancel the surrendered share certificate and issue
replacement share certificates in accordance with that request.
|
2.8
|
There must be paid to the Company, in relation to the issue of any share certificate under §2.5, §2.6 or §2.7, the amount, if any, not exceeding the amount
prescribed under the Act, determined by the directors.
|
2.9
|
Except as required by law or statute or these Articles, no person will be recognized by the Company as holding any share upon any trust, and the Company is not
bound by or compelled in any way to recognize (even when having notice thereof) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any share or fraction of a share or (except as required by law or statute or these Articles or as
ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction) any other rights in respect of any share except an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the shareholder.
|
3.1
|
Subject to the Act and the rights, if any, of the holders of issued shares of the Company, the Company may allot, issue, sell or otherwise dispose of the unissued
shares, and issued shares held by the Company, at the times, to the persons, including directors, in the manner, on the terms and conditions and for the consideration (including any premium at which shares with par value may be issued)
that the directors may determine. The issue price for a share with par value must be equal to or greater than the par value of the share.
|
3.2
|
The Company may at any time pay a reasonable commission or allow a reasonable discount to any person in consideration of that person’s purchase or agreement to
purchase shares of the Company from the Company or any other person’s procurement or agreement to procure purchasers for shares of the Company.
|
3.3
|
The Company may pay such brokerage fee or other consideration as may be lawful for or in connection with the sale or placement of its securities.
|
3.4
|
Except as provided for by the Act, no share may be issued until it is fully paid. A share is fully paid when:
|
(a)
|
consideration is provided to the Company for the issue of the share by one or more of the following:
|
(i)
|
past services performed for the Company;
|
(ii)
|
property;
|
(iii)
|
money; and
|
(b)
|
the value of the consideration received by the Company equals or exceeds the issue price set for the share under §3.1.
|
3.5
|
Subject to the Act, the Company may issue share purchase warrants, options and rights upon such terms and conditions as the directors determine, which share
purchase warrants, options and rights may be issued alone or in conjunction with debentures, debenture stock, bonds, shares or any other securities issued or created by the Company from time to time.
|
4.1
|
As required by and subject to the Act, the Company must maintain a central securities register and may appoint an agent to
maintain such register. The directors may appoint one or more agents, including the agent appointed to keep the central securities register, as transfer agent for shares or any class or series of shares and the same or another agent
as registrar for shares or such class or series of shares, as the case may be. The directors may terminate such appointment of any agent at any time and may appoint another agent in its place.
|
5.1
|
A transfer of a share must not be registered unless the Company or the transfer agent or registrar for the class or series of shares to be transferred has received:
|
(a)
|
except as exempted by the Act, a written instrument of transfer in respect of the share has been received by the Company (which may be a separate document or
endorsed on the share certificate for the shares transferred) made by the shareholder or other appropriate person or by an agent who has actual authority to act on behalf of that person;
|
(b)
|
if a share certificate has been issued by the Company in respect of the share to be transferred, that share certificate;
|
(c)
|
if a non-transferable written acknowledgment of the shareholder’s right to obtain a share certificate has been issued by the Company in respect of the share to be
transferred, that acknowledgment; and
|
(d)
|
such other evidence, if any, as the Company or the transfer agent or registrar for the class or series of share to be transferred may require to prove the title of
the transferor or the transferor’s right to transfer the share, that the written instrument of transfer and the right of the transferee to have the transfer registered.
|
5.2
|
The instrument of transfer in respect of any share of the Company must be either in the form, if any, on the back of the Company’s share certificates of that class
or series or in some other form that may be approved by the directors from time to time or by the transfer agent or registrar for those shares.
|
5.3
|
Except to the extent that the Act otherwise provides, the transferor of a share is deemed to remain the holder of it until the name of the transferee is entered in
a securities register of the Company in respect of the transfer.
|
5.4
|
If a shareholder, or the shareholder’s duly authorized attorney, signs an instrument of transfer in respect of shares registered in the name of the shareholder, the
signed instrument of transfer constitutes a complete and sufficient authority to the Company and its directors, officers and agents to register the number of shares specified in the instrument of transfer or specified in any other
manner, or, if no number is specified, all the shares represented by the share certificates or set out in the written acknowledgments deposited with the instrument of transfer, or if the shares are uncertificated shares, then all of the
shares registered in the name of the shareholder on the central securities register:
|
(a)
|
in the name of the person named as transferee in that instrument of transfer; or
|
(b)
|
if no person is named as transferee in that instrument of transfer, in the name of the person on whose behalf the instrument is deposited for the purpose of having
the transfer registered.
|
5.5
|
Neither the Company nor any director, officer or agent of the Company is bound to inquire into the title of the person named in the instrument of transfer as
transferee or, if no person is named as transferee in the instrument of transfer, of the person on whose behalf the instrument is deposited for the purpose of having the transfer registered or is liable for any claim related to
registering the transfer by the shareholder or by any intermediate owner or holder of the shares transferred, of any interest in such shares, of any share certificate representing such shares or of any written acknowledgment of a right
to obtain a share certificate for such shares.
|
5.6
|
There must be paid to the Company, in relation to the registration of a transfer, the amount, if any, determined by the directors.
|
6.1
|
In case of the death of a shareholder, the legal personal representative of the shareholder, or in the case of shares registered in the shareholder’s name and the
name of another person in joint tenancy, the surviving joint holder, will be the only person recognized by the Company as having any title to the shareholder’s interest in the shares. Before recognizing a person as a legal personal
representative of a shareholder, the Company shall receive the documentation required by the Act.
|
6.2
|
The legal personal representative of a shareholder has the same rights, privileges and obligations that attach to the shares held by the shareholder, including the
right to transfer the shares in accordance with these Articles, provided the documents required by the Act and the directors have been deposited with the Company. This §6.2 does not apply in the case of the death of a shareholder with
respect to shares registered in the name of the shareholder and the name of another person in joint tenancy.
|
7.1
|
Subject to §7.2, the special rights or restrictions attached to the shares of any class or series and the Act, the Company may, if authorized by the directors,
purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of its shares at the price and upon the terms determined by the directors.
|
7.2
|
The Company must not make a payment or provide any other consideration to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of its shares if there are reasonable grounds
for believing that:
|
(a)
|
the Company is insolvent; or
|
(b)
|
making the payment or providing the consideration would render the Company insolvent.
|
7.3
|
If the Company retains a share redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by it, the Company may sell, gift or otherwise dispose of the share, but, while such share
is held by the Company, it:
|
(a)
|
is not entitled to vote the share at a meeting of its shareholders;
|
(b)
|
must not pay a dividend in respect of the share; and
|
(c)
|
must not make any other distribution in respect of the share.
|
7.4
|
The Company may, without prior notice to the holders, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for fair value any and all outstanding share fractions of any class or
kind of shares in its authorized share structure as may exist at any time and from time to time. Upon the Company delivering the purchase funds and confirmation of purchase or redemption of the share fractions to the holders’ registered
or last known address, or if the Company has a transfer agent then to such agent for the benefit of and forwarding to such holders, the Company shall thereupon amend its central securities register to reflect the purchase or redemption
of such share fractions and if the Company has a transfer agent, shall direct the transfer agent to amend the central securities register accordingly. Any holder of a share fraction, who upon receipt of the funds and confirmation of
purchase or redemption of same, disputes the fair value paid for the fraction, shall have the right to apply to the court to request that it set the price and terms of payment and make consequential orders and give directions the court
considers appropriate, as if the Company were the “acquiring person” as contemplated by Division 6, Compulsory Acquisitions, under the Act and the holder were an “offeree” subject to the provisions contained in such Division, mutatis mutandis.
|
8.1
|
The Company, if authorized by the directors, may:
|
(a)
|
borrow money in the manner and amount, on the security, from the sources and on the terms and conditions that they consider appropriate;
|
(b)
|
issue bonds, debentures and other debt obligations either outright or as security for any liability or obligation of the Company or any other person and at such
discounts or premiums and on such other terms as the directors consider appropriate;
|
(c)
|
guarantee the repayment of money by any other person or the performance of any obligation of any other person; and
|
(d)
|
mortgage, charge, whether by way of specific or floating charge, grant a security interest in, or give other security on, the whole or any part of the present and
future assets and undertaking of the Company.
|
9.1
|
Subject to §9.2 and the Act, the Company may by ordinary resolution (or a resolution of the directors in the case of §9.1(c) or §9.1(f)):
|
(a)
|
create one or more classes or series of shares or, if none of the shares of a class or series of shares are allotted or issued, eliminate that class or series of
shares;
|
(b)
|
increase, reduce or eliminate the maximum number of shares that the Company is authorized to issue out of any class or series of shares or establish a maximum
number of shares that the Company is authorized to issue out of any class or series of shares for which no maximum is established;
|
(c)
|
subdivide or consolidate all or any of its unissued, or fully paid issued, shares;
|
(d)
|
if the Company is authorized to issue shares of a class of shares with par value:
|
(i)
|
decrease the par value of those shares; or
|
(ii)
|
if none of the shares of that class of shares are allotted or issued, increase the par value of those shares;
|
(e)
|
change all or any of its unissued, or fully paid issued, shares with par value into shares without par value or any of its unissued shares without
par value into shares with par value;
|
(f)
|
alter the identifying name of any of its shares; or
|
(g)
|
otherwise alter its shares or authorized share structure when required or permitted to do so by the Act where it does not specify by a special resolution;
|
9.2
|
Subject to the Act and in particular those provisions of the Act relating to the rights of holders of outstanding shares to vote if their rights are prejudiced or
interfered with, the Company may by ordinary resolution:
|
(a)
|
create special rights or restrictions for, and attach those special rights or restrictions to, the shares of any class or series of shares, whether or not any or
all of those shares have been issued; or
|
(b)
|
vary or delete any special rights or restrictions attached to the shares of any class or series of shares, whether or not any or all of those shares have been
issued,
|
9.3
|
The Company may by resolution of the directors authorize an alteration to its Notice of Articles in order to change its name or adopt or change any translation of
that name.
|
9.4
|
If the Act does not specify the type of resolution and these Articles do not specify another type of resolution, the Company may by ordinary resolution alter these
Articles.
|
10.1
|
Unless an annual general meeting is deferred or waived in accordance with the Act, the Company must hold its first annual general meeting within 18 months after the
date on which it was incorporated or otherwise recognized, and after that must hold an annual general meeting at least once in each calendar year and not more than 15 months after the last annual reference date at such time and place as
may be determined by the directors.
|
10.2
|
If all the shareholders who are entitled to vote at an annual general meeting consent in writing by a unanimous resolution to all of the business that is required
to be transacted at that annual general meeting, the annual general meeting is deemed to have been held on the date of the unanimous resolution. The shareholders must, in any unanimous resolution passed under this §10.2, select as the
Company’s annual reference date a date that would be appropriate for the holding of the applicable annual general meeting.
|
10.3
|
The directors may, at any time, call a meeting of shareholders.
|
10.4
|
The Company must send notice of the date, time and location of any meeting of shareholders (including, without limitation, any notice specifying the intention to
propose a resolution as an exceptional resolution, a special resolution or a special separate resolution, and any notice to consider approving an amalgamation into a foreign jurisdiction, an arrangement or the adoption of an
amalgamation agreement, and any notice of a general meeting, class meeting or series meeting), in the manner provided in these Articles, or in such other manner, if any, as may be prescribed by ordinary resolution (whether previous
notice of the resolution has been given or not), to each shareholder entitled to attend the meeting, to each director and to the auditor of the Company, unless these Articles otherwise provide, at least the following number of days
before the meeting:
|
(a)
|
if the Company is a public company, 21 days;
|
(b)
|
otherwise, 10 days.
|
10.5
|
The directors may set a date as the record date for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of any meeting of shareholders. The record date must
not precede the date on which the meeting is to be held by more than two months or, in the case of a general meeting requisitioned by shareholders under the Act, by more than four months. The record date must not precede the date on
which the meeting is held by fewer than:
|
(a)
|
if the Company is a public company, 21 days;
|
(b)
|
otherwise, 10 days.
|
10.6
|
The directors may set a date as the record date for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders. The record date must
not precede the date on which the meeting is to be held by more than two months or, in the case of a general meeting requisitioned by shareholders under the Act, by more than four months. If no record date is set, the record date is 5
p.m. on the day immediately preceding the first date on which the notice is sent or, if no notice is sent, the beginning of the meeting.
|
10.7
|
The accidental omission to send notice of any meeting of shareholders to, or the non-receipt of any notice by, any of the persons entitled to notice does not
invalidate any proceedings at that meeting. Any person entitled to notice of a meeting of shareholders may, in writing or otherwise, waive that entitlement or may agree to reduce the period of that notice. Attendance of a person at a
meeting of shareholders is a waiver of entitlement to notice of the meeting unless that person attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting is not lawfully
called.
|

result of the vote by show of hands, is directed by the chair or demanded by any shareholder entitled to vote who is present in person or by proxy.
|
11.14
|
The chair of a meeting of shareholders must declare to the meeting the decision on every question in accordance with the result of the show of hands or the poll,
as the case may be, and that decision must be entered in the minutes of the meeting. A declaration of the chair that a resolution is carried by the necessary majority or is defeated is, unless a poll is directed by the chair or demanded
under §11.13, conclusive evidence without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against the resolution.
|
11.15
|
No motion proposed at a meeting of shareholders need be seconded unless the chair of the meeting rules otherwise, and the chair of any meeting of shareholders is
entitled to propose or second a motion.
|
11.16

|
(ii)
|
in the manner, at the time and at the place that the chair of the meeting directs;
|
(b)
|
the result of the poll is deemed to be the decision of the meeting at which the poll is demanded; and
|
(c)
|
the demand for the poll may be withdrawn by the person who demanded it.
|
11.18
|
A poll demanded at a meeting of shareholders on a question of adjournment must be taken immediately at the meeting.
|
11.19
|
In the case of any dispute as to the admission or rejection of a vote given on a poll, the chair of the meeting must determine the dispute, and the determination
of the chair made in good faith is final and conclusive.
|
11.20
|
On a poll, a shareholder entitled to more than one vote need not cast all the votes in the same way.
|
11.21
|
No poll may be demanded in respect of the vote by which a chair of a meeting of shareholders is elected.
|
11.22
|
The demand for a poll at a meeting of shareholders does not, unless the chair of the meeting so rules, prevent the continuation of a meeting for the transaction
of any business other than the question on which a poll has been demanded.
|
11.23
|
The Company must, for at least three months after a meeting of shareholders, keep each ballot cast on a poll and each proxy voted at the meeting, and, during that

|
(b)
|
on a poll, every shareholder entitled to vote on the matter has one vote in respect of each share entitled to be voted on the matter and held by that shareholder
and may exercise that vote either in person or by proxy.
|
12.2
|
A person who is not a shareholder may vote at a meeting of shareholders, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, and may appoint a proxy holder to act at the
meeting, if, before doing so, the person satisfies the chair of the meeting, or the directors, that the person is a legal personal representative or a trustee in bankruptcy for a shareholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting.
|
12.3
|
If there are joint shareholders registered in respect of any share:
|
(a)
|
any one of the joint shareholders may vote at any meeting of shareholders, personally or by proxy, in respect of the share as if that joint shareholder were
solely entitled to it; or
|
(b)
|
if more than one of the joint shareholders is present at any meeting of shareholders, personally or by proxy, and more than one of them votes in respect of that
share, then only the vote of the joint shareholder present whose name stands first on the central securities register in respect of the share will be counted.
|
12.4
|
Two or more legal personal representatives of a shareholder in whose sole name any share is registered are, for the purposes of §12.3, deemed to be joint
shareholders registered in respect of that share.
|
12.5
|
If a corporation, that is not a subsidiary of the Company, is a shareholder, that corporation may appoint a person to act as its representative at any meeting of
shareholders of the Company, and:

meeting;
|
(b)
|
if a representative is appointed under this §12.5:
|
(i)
|
the representative is entitled to exercise in respect of and at that meeting the same rights on behalf of the corporation that the representative represents as
that corporation could exercise if it were a shareholder who is an individual, including, without limitation, the right to appoint a proxy holder; and
|
(ii)
|
the representative, if present at the meeting, is to be counted for the purpose of forming a quorum and is deemed to be a shareholder present in person at the
meeting.
|
12.6
|
If and for so long as the Company is a public company or a pre-existing reporting company which has the Statutory Reporting Company Provisions as part of its
Articles or to which the Statutory Reporting Company Provisions apply, then §12.7 to §12.15 are not mandatory, however the directors of the Company are authorized to apply all or part of such sections or to adopt alternative procedures
for proxy form, deposit and revocation procedures to the extent that the directors deem necessary in order to comply with securities laws applicable to the Company.
|
12.7
|
Every shareholder of the Company entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders may, by proxy, appoint one or more (but not more than two) proxy holders to attend

unless the notice provides otherwise, be received, at the meeting or any adjourned meeting, by the chair of the meeting or adjourned meeting or by a person
designated by the chair of the meeting or adjourned meeting.
|
12.11
|
A vote given in accordance with the terms of a proxy is valid notwithstanding the death or incapacity of the shareholder giving the proxy and despite the
revocation of the proxy or the revocation of the authority under which the proxy is given, unless notice in writing of that death, incapacity or revocation is received:
|
(a)
|
at the registered office of the Company, at any time up to and including the last business day before the day set for the holding of the meeting or any adjourned
meeting at which the proxy is to be used; or

the shareholders may elect or appoint the directors needed to fill any vacancies in the board of directors up to that number; or

§14.8, may appoint directors to fill those vacancies.
|
13.3
|
An act or proceeding of the directors is not invalid merely because fewer than the number of directors set or otherwise required under these Articles is in
office.
|
13.4
|
A director is not required to hold a share as qualification for his or her office but must be qualified as required by the Act to become, act or continue to act
as a director.
|
13.5
|
The directors are entitled to the remuneration for acting as directors, if any, as the directors may from time to time determine. If the directors so decide, the
remuneration of the directors, if any, will be determined by the shareholders.
|
13.6
|
The Company must reimburse each director for the reasonable expenses that he or she may incur in and about the business of the Company.
|
13.7
|
If any director performs any professional or other services for the Company that in the opinion of the directors are outside the ordinary duties of a director, he
or she may be paid remuneration fixed by the directors, or at the option of the directors, fixed by ordinary resolution, and such remuneration will be in addition to any other remuneration that he or she may be entitled to receive.
|

directors consisting of the number of directors for the time being set under these Articles; and

those retiring directors who are not re-elected and who are asked by the newly elected directors to continue in office will, if willing to do so, continue in office to complete the number of directors for the time being set pursuant to
these Articles but their term of office shall expire when new directors are elected at a meeting of shareholders convened for that purpose. If any such election or continuance of directors does not result in the election or continuance
of the number of directors for the time being set pursuant to these Articles, the number of directors of the Company is deemed to be set at the number of directors actually elected or continued in office.
|
14.5
|
Any casual vacancy occurring in the board of directors may be filled by the directors.
|
14.6
|
The directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in the board of directors, but if the Company has fewer directors in office than the number set pursuant to

or, subject to the Act, for any other purpose.

additional directors, but the number of additional directors appointed under this §14.8 must not at any time exceed:

|
one-third of the number of first directors, if, at the time of the appointments, one or more of the first directors have not yet completed their first term of
office; or

(b)
|
in any other case, one-third of the number of the current directors who were elected or appointed as directors other than under this §14.8.

|
(d)
|
the director is removed from office pursuant to §14.10 or §14.11.
|
14.10
|
The Company may remove any director before the expiration of his or her term of office by special resolution. In that event, the shareholders may elect, or
appoint by ordinary resolution, a director to fill the resulting vacancy. If the shareholders do not elect or appoint a director to fill the resulting vacancy contemporaneously with the removal, then the directors may appoint or the
shareholders may elect, or appoint by ordinary resolution, a director to fill that vacancy.
|
14.11
|
The directors may remove any director before the expiration of his or her term of office if the director is convicted of an indictable offence, or if the director

|
15.1
|
Any director (an “appointor”) may by notice in writing received by the Company appoint any person (an “appointee”) who is qualified to act as a director to be his
or her alternate to act in his or her place at meetings of the directors or committees of the directors at which the appointor is not present unless (in the case of an appointee who is not a director) the directors have reasonably
disapproved the appointment of such person as an alternate director and have given notice to that effect to his or her appointor within a reasonable time after the notice of appointment is received by the Company.
|
15.2

in, such other person.
|
18.1
|
The directors may meet together for the conduct of business, adjourn and otherwise regulate their meetings as they think fit, and meetings of the directors held
at regular intervals may be held at the place, at the time and on the notice, if any, as the directors may from time to time determine.
|
18.2
|
Questions arising at any meeting of directors are to be decided by a majority of votes and, in the case of an equality of votes, the chair of the meeting has a
second or casting vote.
|
18.3
|
The following individual is entitled to preside as chair at a meeting of directors:
|
(a)
|
the chair of the board, if any;
|
(b)
|
in the absence of the chair of the board, the president, if any, if the president is a director; or
|
(c)
|
any other director chosen by the directors if:
|
(i)

are able to communicate with each other.
|
18.5
|
A director may, and the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Company, if any, on the request of a director must, call a meeting of the directors at any
time.
|
18.6
|
Other than for meetings held at regular intervals as determined by the directors pursuant to §18.1, 48 hours’ notice or such lesser notice as the Chairman in his

that director and all meetings of the directors so held are deemed not to be improperly called or constituted by reason of notice not having been given to such director. Attendance of a director or alternate director at a meeting of the
directors is a waiver of notice of the meeting unless that director or alternate director attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting is not lawfully
called.
|
18.10
|
The quorum necessary for the transaction of the business of the directors may be set by the directors and, if not so set, is deemed to be a majority of the
directors or, if the number of directors is set at one, is deemed to be set at one director, and that director may constitute a meeting.

|
(b)
|
in the case of a resolution to approve a contract or transaction in respect of which a director has disclosed that he or she has or may have a disclosable
interest, if each of the other directors who have not made such a disclosure consents in writing to the resolution.
|

|
19.4
|
The directors may, at any time, with respect to a committee appointed under §19.1 or §19.2:

(a)
|
revoke or alter the authority given to the committee, or override a decision made by the committee, except as to acts done before such revocation, alteration or

20.3
|

the Company. Any person appointed as the chair of the board or as a managing director must be a director. Any other officer need not be a director.
|

|
(ii)
|

|
(i)

penalties to which such person is or may be liable, and the Company must, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in respect of that proceeding. Each

|
21.4
|
The Company may advance expenses to an eligible party to the extent permitted by and in accordance with the Act.
|
21.5
|
Subject to the Act, the failure of an eligible party of the Company to comply with the Act or these Articles or, if applicable, any former Companies Act or former Articles does not, of itself, invalidate any indemnity to which he or she is entitled under this Part 21.
|
21.6
|
The Company may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any eligible party (or the heirs or legal personal representatives of any eligible party)
against any liability incurred by any eligible party.
|
22.1
|
The provisions of this Part 22 are subject to the rights, if any, of shareholders holding shares with special rights as to dividends.
|
22.2
|
Subject to the Act, the directors may from time to time declare and authorize payment of such dividends as they may deem advisable.
|
22.3
|
The directors need not give notice to any shareholder of any declaration under §22.2.
|
22.4

precede the date on which the dividend is to be paid by more than two months.
|
22.5
|
A resolution declaring a dividend may direct payment of the dividend wholly or partly in money or by the distribution of specific assets or of fully paid shares
or of bonds, debentures or other securities of the Company or any other corporation, or in any one or more of those ways.
|
22.6
|
If any difficulty arises in regard to a distribution under §22.5, the directors may settle the difficulty as they deem advisable, and, in particular, may:

(a)
|
set the value for distribution of specific assets;
|
(b)
|
determine that money in substitution for all or any part of the specific assets to which any shareholders are entitled may be paid to any shareholders on the
basis of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all parties; and
|
(c)

|
22.11

|
Any dividend or other distribution payable in money in respect of shares may be paid by cheque, made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent, and
mailed to the registered address of the shareholder, or in the case of joint shareholders, to the registered address of the joint shareholder who is first named on the central securities register, or to the person and to the address the
shareholder or joint shareholders may direct in writing. The mailing of such cheque will, to the extent of the sum represented by the cheque (plus the amount of the tax required by law to be deducted), discharge all liability for the
dividend unless such cheque is not paid on presentation or the amount of tax so deducted is not paid to the appropriate taxing authority.
|
22.13
|

|
If on two consecutive occasions, a notice, statement, report or other record is sent to a shareholder pursuant to §24.1 and on each of those occasions any such
record is returned because the shareholder cannot be located, the Company shall not be required to send any further records to the shareholder until the shareholder informs the Company in writing of his or her new address.
|
25.1
|
