aggregate 1,800,000 incentive stock options under the Plan to
certain directors and executive officers, which options have a

35,294 deferred share units (each, a "DSU") were granted
to each of the Company's non-executive directors for director's
fees relating to the calendar quarter ended March 1, 2024, which DSUs will vest one year
after their date of grant in accordance with TSXV policies.
The Board has also adopted a director fee equity compensation
package whereby commencing in Q2 of 2024 and for each calendar
quarter thereafter until resolved otherwise by the Board, each
non-executive director will receive DSUs equal in value to
$6,000, with the number of DSUs to be
determined based on the closing price of the Company's common

officer or a consultant to the Company at such date.
Once vested, each PSU and DSU entitles the holder thereof to
receive either one common share of the Company, the cash equivalent
of one common share or a combination of cash and common shares, as
determined by the Company, net of applicable withholdings. DSUs may
not be settled until a director ceases to serve as a director of
the Company. The Plan includes (i) a rolling 10% stock option plan,
and (ii) a fixed 10% plan which permits the Company to issue up to
19,521,680 shares on settlement of all non-stock option awards
issued under the Plan (including DSUs and PSUs). Following
the above-noted grants, there are 1,905,882 shares issuable on
settlement of all outstanding DSUs and PSUs. For further
