MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

Solicitation of Proxies

This management information circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Glencairn Gold Corporation (the “Company”) for use at the annual and special meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) of the Company to be held at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting. References in this management information circular to the Meeting include any adjournment or adjournments thereof. It is expected that the solicitation will be primarily by mail, however, proxies may also be solicited personally by regular employees of the Company and the Company may use the services of an outside proxy solicitation agency to solicit proxies. The cost of solicitation will be borne by the Company.

The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) has fixed the close of business on March 29, 2005 as the record date, being the date for the determination of the registered holders of securities entitled to receive notice of the Meeting. Duly completed and executed proxies must be received by the Company’s transfer agent at the address indicated on the enclosed envelope no later than 4:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on May 6, 2005, or no later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays and holidays) before the time of any adjourned Meeting.

Unless otherwise stated, the information contained in this management information circular is as of April 5, 2005. This management information circular contains references to United States dollars and Canadian dollars. All dollar amounts referenced, unless otherwise indicated, are expressed in Canadian dollars and United States dollars are referred to as “United States dollars” or “US$”.

Appointment and Revocation of Proxies

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy are officers and/or directors of the Company. A shareholder desiring to appoint some other person, who need not be a shareholder, to represent him at the Meeting, may do so by inserting such person’s name in the blank space provided in the enclosed form of proxy or by completing another proper form of proxy and, in either case, depositing the completed and executed proxy at the office of the Company’s transfer agent indicated on the enclosed envelope no later than 4:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on May 6, 2005, or no later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays and holidays) before the time of any adjourned Meeting.

A shareholder forwarding the enclosed proxy may indicate the manner in which the appointee is to vote with respect to any specific item by checking the appropriate space. If the shareholder giving the proxy wishes to confer a discretionary authority with respect to any item of business, then the space opposite the item is to be left blank. The shares represented by the proxy submitted by a shareholder will be voted in accordance with the directions, if any, given in the proxy.

A proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by an instrument in writing executed by a shareholder or by a shareholder’s attorney authorized in writing (or, if the shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer or attorney) and deposited either at the registered office of the Company (6 Adelaide Street East, Suite 500, Toronto, Ontario M5C 1H6; Attention: Corporate Secretary) at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting or with the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or in any other manner permitted by law.



1






Exercise of Discretion by Proxies

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy will vote the shares in respect of which they are appointed in accordance with the direction of the shareholders appointing them. In the absence of such direction, such shares will be voted in favour of the passing of all the resolutions described below. The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the time of printing of this management information circular, management knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting. However, if any other matters which are not now known to management should properly come before the Meeting, the proxy will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the named proxies.

Voting by Non-Registered Shareholders

Only registered shareholders of the Company or the persons they appoint as their proxies are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most shareholders of the Company are “non-registered” shareholders (“Non-Registered Shareholders”) because the shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the name of the brokerage firm, bank or trust company through which they purchased the shares. Shares beneficially owned by a Non-Registered Shareholder are registered either: (i) in the name of an intermediary (an “Intermediary”) that the Non-Registered Shareholder deals with in respect of the shares of the Company (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans); or (ii) in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited) of which the Intermediary is a participant. In accordance with applicable securities law requirements, the Company will have distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting, this management information circular, the form of proxy and the supplemental mailing list return card (collectively, the “Meeting Materials”) to the clearing agencies and Intermediaries for distribution to Non-Registered Shareholders.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Shareholders unless a Non-Registered Shareholder has waived the right to receive them. Intermediaries often use service companies to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Shareholders. Generally, Non-Registered Shareholders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials will either:

(i)   be given a voting instruction form which is not signed by the Intermediary and which, when properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Shareholder and returned to the Intermediary or its service company, will constitute voting instructions (often called a “voting instruction form”) which the Intermediary must follow. Typically, the voting instruction form will consist of a one page pre-printed form. Sometimes, instead of the one page pre-printed form, the voting instruction form will consist of a regular printed proxy form accompanied by a page of instructions which contains a removable label with a bar-code and other information. In order for the form of proxy to validly constitute a voting instruction form, the Non-Registered Shareholder must remove the label from the instructions and affix it to the form of proxy, properly complete and sign the form of proxy and submit it to the Intermediary or its service company in accordance with the instructions of the Intermediary or its service company; or

(ii)   nbsp; be given a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number of shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Shareholder but which is otherwise not completed by the Intermediary. Because the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the Non-Registered Shareholder when submitting the proxy. In this case, the Non-Registered Shareholder who wishes to submit a proxy should properly complete the form of proxy and deposit it with the Company, c/o Equity Transfer Services Inc., Suite 420, 120 Adelaide Street West, Toronto, Ontario M5H 4C3.

In either case, the purpose of these procedures is to permit Non-Registered Shareholders to direct the voting of the shares of the Company they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Shareholder who receives one of the above forms wish to vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on behalf of the Non-Registered Shareholder), the Non-Registered Shareholder should strike out the persons named in the form of proxy and insert the Non-Registered Shareholder or such other person’s name in the blank space provided. In either case, Non-Registered Shareholders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when and where the proxy or voting instruction form is to be delivered.



2






A Non-Registered Shareholder may revoke a voting instruction form or a waiver of the right to receive Meeting Materials and to vote which has been given to an Intermediary at any time by written notice to the Intermediary provided that an Intermediary is not required to act on a revocation of a voting instruction form or of a waiver of the right to receive Meeting Materials and to vote which is not received by the Intermediary at least seven (7) days prior to the Meeting.

Interest of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon

Directors and executive officers of the Company have an interest in the resolution concerning the amendment to the Company’s share option plan as such persons are eligible to be granted options under the plan.

Voting Securities and Principal Holders Thereof

As of April 5, 2005, 155,240,531 common shares (the “Common Shares”) in the capital of the Company were issued and outstanding. Each Common Share entitles the holder thereof to one vote on all matters to be acted upon at the Meeting. The record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive notice of the Meeting has been fixed at March 29, 2005. In accordance with the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “OBCA”), the Company will prepare a list of holders of Common Shares as of such record date. Each holder of Common Shares named in the list will be entitled to vote the shares shown opposite his or her name on the list at the Meeting, except to the extent that (a) the shareholder has transferred any of his or her shares after the record date, and (b) the transferee of those shares produces properly endorsed share certificates or otherwise establishes that he or she owns such shares and demands not later than ten days prior to the Meeting that his or her name be included in the list before the Meeting, in which case the transferee is entitled to vote his or her shares at the Meeting. All such holders of record of Common Shares are entitled either to attend and vote thereat in person the Common Shares held by them or, provided a completed and executed proxy shall have been delivered to the Company’s transfer agent within the time specified in the attached Notice of Meeting, to attend and vote thereat by proxy the Common Shares held by them.

To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Company, as of the date hereof, no person or company beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercises control or direction over voting securities of the Company carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to any class of voting securities of the Company.

(1)   Includes 996,667 shares reserved for issuance to holders of options outstanding under the Black Hawk Share Option Plan (the "Black Hawk Plan") in October 2003 at the time of the business combination with Black Hawk Mining Inc. ("Black Hawk"), which were previously approved by the shareholders of Black Hawk.

Glencairn Stock Option Plan

The Stock Option Plan, as amended and restated effective June 8, 2004, is designed to provide a long term incentive to eligible participants, comprised of employees, officers, directors and consultants. On June 7, 2004, the shareholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Stock Option Plan to increase the maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to 12,671,931. Following this increase, the maximum number of Common Shares issued and reserved for issuance pursuant to the Stock Option Plan was set at 12,881,931. Together with the 921,667 Common Shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of options outstanding on April 5, 2005 under the Black Hawk Plan described below, 13,803,598 Common Shares were issued and reserved for issuance pursuant to options outstanding under both compensation plans, representing approximately 8.9% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares on April 5, 2005.

Options to purchase an aggregate of 11,608,000 Common Shares are currently outstanding under the Stock Option Plan, representing approximately 7.5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares. This leaves 920,931 Common Shares, representing approximately 0.6% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares, available for issuance under the Stock Option Plan. During the year ended December 31, 2004, 143,000 Common Shares were issued upon exercise of options granted under the Stock Option Plan.

The Stock Option Plan currently provides that no one optionee shall be granted an option which exceeds 5% of the Common Shares outstanding at the time of grant (on a non-diluted basis). Any Common Shares subject to a share option which for any reason is cancelled or terminated without having been exercised is again available for grant under the Stock Option Plan.

Under the current terms of the Stock Option Plan, options granted under the Stock Option Plan have an exercise price of not less than the average of the high and the low trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX on the day on which the option is granted and are exercisable for a period not to exceed five years. The vesting of stock options is at the discretion of the Board. As set out above, Messrs. Knoll and McDonald each hold 100,000 options, granted in October 2003, which vest on December 31, 2005. Options granted under the Stock Option Plan are not transferable or assignable and terminate: (i) on the date of termination of the optionee’s employment or upon ceasing to be a director and/or officer of the Company for any cause other than by retirement, permanent disability or death, subject to the discretion of the administrator of the Stock Option Plan to extend the date of termination of options in circumstances where they determine it to be in the best interests of the Company; (ii) within a period of six months following the death of an optionee; or (iii) within a period of three months following the termination of the optionee’s employment by permanent disability or retirement. The Stock Option Plan does not provide for the granting of stock appreciation rights.

The Board and/or the Compensation Committee of the Board, reserves the right to amend, modify or terminate the Stock Option Plan at any time provided that this right cannot, without the consent of the optionee, adversely affect the optionee’s rights under any option previously granted under the Stock Option Plan. The Stock Option Plan is



6






subject to the rules of any stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed.

Black Hawk Plan

In October 2003, as part of the business combination with Black Hawk, options outstanding under the Black Hawk Plan became exercisable into Common Shares. The options continued to be subject to the terms and conditions of the Black Hawk Plan. Options held by directors, officers and employees of Black Hawk who did not become directors, officers or employees of the Company continued to be exercisable for the original terms. No additional options may be granted under the Black Hawk Plan. Options under the Black Hawk Plan terminate 90 days after termination of the optionee’s position with the Company. Currently, there are 921,667 Common Shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of options that remain outstanding under the Black Hawk Plan, representing approximately 0.6% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares.

Termination of Employment, Change in Responsibilities and Employment Contracts

In August 2004, the Company entered into severance agreements with Messrs. Knoll, McDonald and Drover which provide that upon termination following a change of control, the employee will be entitled to 24 months’ salary and benefits (excluding bonus) (the “Severance Amount”) if his employment is terminated other than for cause or disability. Under the agreements, the employee also has the right, for 12 months following a change of control, to terminate his employment and receive the Severance Amount. The agreements also provide that in the event of resignation or termination following a change of control, options held will vest and will remain exercisable until the expiry of their original terms. “Change of control” is defined as a change of four or more of the directors of the Company unless approved by a majority of the Board or any acquisition of 50% or more of the Common Shares, or voting rights in respect thereof, by any person or company which is accompanied by a request by that person for representation on the Board and which is not approved by a majority of the directors of the Company.

In August 2003, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Price as Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer. The agreement stipulates, among other things, an initial base salary of $185,000 per annum, reviewable annually, and provides that in the event that Mr. Price’s employment is terminated, he will be entitled to 24 months’ salary and certain benefits for up to 26 months (the “Termination Compensation”). In the event of a change of control, as defined below, Mr. Price will be entitled to resign within 120 days thereof and be paid the Termination Compensation. The agreement also provides that in the event of resignation or termination other than for cause, options held by Mr. Price will vest and will remain exercisable for 26 months after resignation or termination. Under Mr. Price’s agreement, a “change of control” is defined as less than 50% of the Board being Continuing Directors (as defined below) or the acquisition of 40% or more of the Common Shares, or voting rights in respect thereof, by any person or company including a person with whom such person is acting jointly. “Continuing Director” means either an individual who was a director following the business combination with Black Hawk in October 2003 or who subsequently becomes a director with the agreement of at least a majority of the Continuing Directors who are directors at the that time.

Composition of the Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee is currently comprised of three directors who are neither officers nor employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. At December 31, 2004, the members of the Compensation Committee were John Kalmet (Chairman), Colin Benner and Patrick Mars. The interest of Mr. Benner in material transactions is set out under the section entitled “Interest of Informed Persons in Material Transactions” on page 11 of this management information circular.

Report on Executive Compensation

When determining the compensation of the Company’s executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers, the Compensation Committee considers the objectives of: (i) recruiting and retaining the executives and senior management critical to the success of the Company and the enhancement of shareholder value; (ii) providing fair and competitive compensation; (iii) balancing the interests of management and shareholders of the Company; and (iv) rewarding performance, both on an individual basis and with respect to the business in general. In order to achieve these objectives, the compensation paid to executive officers consists of the following four components:

(a)   base salary;
(b)   bonus; and


7






(c)   long-term incentive in the form of stock options granted in accordance with the Stock Option Plan.

The current salary levels were set in October 2003 following the business combination with Black Hawk, when the Compensation Committee met and reviewed and adjusted compensation, as recommended by management, including salaries and/or stock options of officers, directors and employees of the Company. The Compensation Committee also took into account contractual obligations with certain senior employees. The compensation of each officer and employee was compared to other positions within the Company and with comparable positions in peer group companies in the mining industry. The Compensation Committee found that the compensation recommended by management, while competitive, was slightly lower than the average for peer group companies. The Compensation Committee approved the recommended compensation, finding the level of compensation appropriate for the Company’s stage of development.

Given that stage of development, there was no general salary review in 2004; however, the Compensation Committee reviewed the level of stock options and granted additional stock options in August 2004. In February 2004, stock options were granted to Mr. Drover when he joined the Company and additional stock options were granted to Mr. Price. The Compensation Committee also met in December 2004 and reviewed salary levels in considering the level of bonuses to be granted. Bonuses were granted based on a combination of a percent of salary, this percentage reflecting the Company’s operating and financial performance, adjusted to reflect the individual’s contribution to the achievement of the Company’s goals, particularly the progress made on the construction of the Company’s Bellavista Mine in Costa Rica, its financing and the operating improvements and exploration results achieved at the Limon Mine in Nicaragua.

Base Salary

The base salary of each particular executive officer is determined by an assessment by the Board of such executive’s performance, a consideration of competitive compensation levels in companies similar to the Company and a review of the performance of the Company as a whole and the role such executive officer played in such corporate performance.

Bonus

Bonuses are performance based short-term financial incentives. Bonuses are based on certain indicators such as personal performance, team performance and/or corporate financial performance. In 2004, cash bonuses were based on a percentage of salary, adjusted to reflect the individual’s contribution to the Company.

Long-Term Incentive

The Company provides a long-term incentive by granting options to executive officers through the Stock Option Plan. The options granted permit executives to acquire Common Shares at an exercise price equal to the closing market price of such shares under option on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the option was granted. The objective of granting options is to encourage executives to acquire an ownership interest in the Company over a period of time, which acts as a financial incentive for such executive to consider the long-term interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Compensation of Chief Executive Officer

The Compensation Committee presents its recommendations to the Board with respect to the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation. The components of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation are the same as those which apply to the other senior executive officers of the Company, namely base salary, bonus and long-term incentives in the form of stock options. Given the Company’s stage of development and reflecting the fact that the Bellavista Mine was not yet in production, the greatest emphasis was placed on the stock option component and the Chief Executive’s salary was not adjusted in 2004. In setting the Chief Executive Officer’s salary in October 2003, the Compensation Committee reviewed salaries paid to other senior officers in the Company, salaries paid to other chief executive officers based on an industry wide survey and the Chief Executive Officer’s impact on the achievement of the Company’s objectives. In August 2004, the Compensation Committee recommended the grant of an additional 500,000 stock options to the Chief Executive Officer to reflect his responsibility for the success of the Company. In December 2004, the Compensation Committee granted a bonus of $20,000 to the Chief Executive Officer, such amount having been slightly reduced at the request of the Chief Executive Officer to acknowledge the contribution of senior operations management in 2004.

Statement of Corporate Governance Practices

The Company and the Board recognize the importance of corporate governance to the effective management of the Company and to the protection of its employees and shareholders and have been enhancing the Company’s corporate governance practices during 2004. The Company’s approach to significant issues of corporate governance is designed with a view to ensuring that the business and affairs of the Company are effectively managed so as to enhance shareholder value.

Canadian securities regulators are currently engaged in a review of the corporate governance standards applicable to Canadian public companies. In 2004, a number of proposed Multilateral Instruments and National Instruments and Policies were published for comment. In October 2004, the Canadian Securities Administrators published National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance (the “Instrument”) and National Policy 58-102 Corporate Governance Guidelines (the “Policy”). The Instrument and the Policy are expected to be effective and apply to disclosure in circulars which are filed following financial years ending on or after June 30, 2005. Once effective, the Instrument and the Policy will replace the Corporate Governance Policy of the TSX. During the transition period, the Company is disclosing its corporate governance practices against the current TSX guidelines contained in Part IV, Sections 472-475 of the TSX Company Manual (the “Manual”). The Company is reviewing the Instrument and the Policy and is reviewing and considering the adoption of a number of practices to bring its corporate governance practices in line with the recommended standards set out in the Instrument and the Policy.

Following the completion of the business combination with Black Hawk in October 2003 and the release of the initial Proposed Multilateral Instrument 58-101 in early 2004, the Company reviewed its governance policies and procedures compared to current and proposed standards, and reviewed and implemented a number of policies and charters in order to bring its practices up to the standards set out in that proposal. In early 2004, the Board and the Audit Committee approved an Audit Committee Charter. During 2004, the Board, following review and recommendation by the Corporate Governance Committee, approved a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, a Whistleblower Policy, a Timely Disclosure, Confidentiality and Insider Trading Policy and a Charter for each of the Board and the Safety and Environment, Compensation and Corporate Governance Committees. The Timely Disclosure, Confidentiality and Insider Trading Policy has been circulated to all employees of the Company and a Receipt and Acknowledgment has been signed by the officers and senior managers of the Company. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and the Whistleblower Policy have also been circulated to all employees of the Company and are being translated into Spanish and posted at the Company’s sites. Informational meetings were held at the operating sites to communicate the importance of compliance with these policies and code.

The Company’s disclosure addressing each of the TSX’s current corporate governance guidelines is attached as Schedule “A” to this management information circular. Supplementary disclosure regarding the Company’s adoption or planned adoption of practices set out in the Instrument have been added to the disclosure in Schedule “A”. This disclosure statement, including Schedule “A”, has been approved by the Board.

Audit Committee

Information regarding the Company’s Audit Committee is contained in the Company’s annual information form dated March 29, 2005 under the heading “Audit Committee Information and Charter” and a copy of the Audit Committee Charter is attached to the annual information form as Schedule “A”. The Company’s annual information form is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

_________________

  (1)   This loan was made in 1990 and 1995 and was amended in 2001 by Black Hawk.

The loan is evidenced by a promissory note in the principal amount of $425,000 and is non-interest bearing until default, at which time the entire principal amount becomes due and payable and earns interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate of interest charged by a Canadian chartered bank. Mr. Bub used the proceeds of this loan to purchase Black Hawk common shares and has pledged 1,000,000 Black Hawk common shares (now 333,333 Common Shares) as security for this loan. The loan must be repaid within five business days after September 6, 2006, provided that earlier repayment may be triggered by the resignation or termination of Mr. Bub as a director of the Company or an affiliate thereof. The Company may extend the repayment date. Mr. Bub is permitted to dispose of the securities pledged as security for the loan in certain circumstances and upon the repayment of all or a portion of the loan. Mr. Bub is entitled to set off any amount owing to the Company against any amounts which Mr. Bub may be owed by the Company. The sole recourse of the Company in respect of the loan is to the securities pledged as security for the loan.

Effective July 30, 2002, Section 402 of the United States Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 precludes the Company from directly or indirectly, including through a subsidiary, extending or maintaining credit, arranging for the extension of credit, or renewing an extension of credit, in the form of a personal loan to or for any director or executive officer of such companies. The prohibition on personal loans to executive officers does not apply to loans outstanding on July 30, 2002 provided there is no material modification of any term of such indebtedness or any renewal of such indebtedness after July 30, 2002. The Company does not extend credit to any of its current directors or executive officers.

Interest of Informed Persons in Material Transactions

Other than as described below and elsewhere in this management information circular, since the commencement of the Company’s last completed financial year, no informed person of the Company, nominee for election as a director of the Company, or any associate or affiliate of an informed person or nominee, has or had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction or any proposed transaction which has materially affected or will materially affect the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

In October 2001, the Company’s subsidiary, Black Hawk, engaged a subsidiary of Breakwater Resources Ltd. (“Breakwater”) to provide purchasing and logistics services for the Company’s Limon mine in Nicaragua (the “Limon Mine”). In 2004, this agreement was amended to include the Bellavista mine in Costa Rica (the Bellavista Mine”). During 2004, Messrs. Benner, Bracale, Bub and Charter, directors of the Company, were also directors and/or officers of Breakwater. Fees of US$124,000 were paid during the financial year ended December 31, 2004 under this agreement. During 2004, Black Hawk also purchased materials and supplies from Breakwater for US$367,000.

During 2004, the Company provided management and administrative services and office space to Patent Enforcement and Royalties Ltd. At December 31, 2004, the Company was owed US$70,000 for such services, including rent. Messrs. Knoll, McDonald and Price are also directors and/or officers of Patent Enforcement and Royalties Ltd.

Election of Directors

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation and the OBCA provide that the Board consists of a minimum of three (3) and a maximum of ten (10) directors. The Board currently consists of seven (7) directors. At the Meeting, the seven (7) persons named hereunder will be proposed for election as directors of the Company. Mr. Colin K.

Unless authority to do so is withheld, the persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote for the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Chartered Accountants, as auditors of the Company until the close of the next annual meeting of shareholders and to authorize the directors to fix their remuneration. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Chartered Accountants, were first appointed as auditors of the Company on December 1, 2003.

Amendments to Stock Option Plan

At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to approve an ordinary resolution to amend the terms of the Stock Option Plan. The terms of the Stock Option Plan are summarized under the heading Equity Compensation Plan Information above. A copy of the Stock Option Plan, amended as described below, is attached as Schedule “B” to this management information circular.

The specific amendments to the Stock Option Plan in respect of which the Board is seeking shareholder approval are set forth below.

Change to Fixed Percentage of Common Shares under the Stock Option Plan. Shareholders will be asked to consider an amendment to section 3 of the Stock Option Plan to change the maximum number of Common Shares that may be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options granted under the Stock Option Plan from 12,881,931 to 10% of the number of Common Shares outstanding as at the date of grant of options under the Stock Option Plan and all other security based compensation plans of the Company.

Stock option grants are a critical element of the Company’s compensation policy and enable the Company to attract and retain talented people in a competitive global environment. If the Company is not successful in attracting and retaining talented individuals, its ability to execute strategy, drive financial results and increase shareholder value may be adversely affected. In light of the above, the Board has proposed to amend the Stock Option Plan by changing the maximum number of Common Shares that may be issued and reserved for issuance upon exercise of options granted under the Stock Option Plan and all other security based compensation plans from a fixed number (12,881,931) to a fixed percentage (10% of the number of Common Shares outstanding as at the date of grant of options under the Stock Option Plan and all other security based compensation plans of the Company) which may be reserved for issuance. Management of the Company believes that the proposed fixed percentage of the number of Common Shares issuable under the Stock Option Plan is within a competitive range in its industry.

Amendment to subparagraph 5(a) of the Stock Option Plan. Shareholders will be asked to consider an amendment to subparagraph 5(a) of the Stock Option Plan to add the following:

  “The number of shares subject to an Option shall be determined from time to time by the Administrator; but the maximum number of shares which may be reserved for issuance and the maximum number of Options which may be granted within any one year period to Insiders (as such term is defined under Section 1(1) of the Securities Act (Ontario)), other than a person who falls within that definition solely by virtue of being a director or senior officer of a subsidiary of the Company, and an associate (as such term is defined under Section 1(1) of the Securities Act

14






  (Ontario)), of any person who is an Insider) under the Plan and under any other share compensation arrangements shall be 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company (on a non-diluted basis) …"

The foregoing provisions are being added in order to bring the Stock Option Plan into alignment with the new rules of the TSX provided for in section 613 of the revised TSX Manual in order that disinterested shareholder approval will not be required in respect of the Stock Option Plan and any and all amendments thereto.

Change to Definition of “Market Price”. Shareholders will be asked to consider an amendment to subparagraph 5(b) of the Stock Option Plan to replace the definition of “fair market value” with the definition of “market price” in connection with determining the Option Price (as defined under the Stock Option Plan) by reference to “the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange, or another stock exchange where the majority of the trading volume and value of the common shares occurs, for the five trading days immediately preceding the day the Option is granted,…” instead of “the average between the highest and lowest prices at which the Company’s common shares are traded on the day the Option is granted,…"

Addition of Vesting Provision. Shareholders will be asked to consider the addition of subparagraph 5(e) to the Stock Option Plan to provide that the Administrator (as defined under the Stock Option Plan) may determine when any Option will become exercisable and may determine that the Option will be exercisable in instalments or pursuant to a vesting schedule.

Changes to Plan Amendment Provisions. Section 10 of the Stock Option Plan currently provides as follows:

  “10.         AMENDMENT AND DISCONTINUANCE OF PLAN: The Board of Directors may from time to time amend or revise the terms of the Plan or may discontinue the Plan at any time provided however that no such right may, without the consent of the Optionee, in any manner adversely affect his rights under any Option theretofore granted under the Plan.”

Shareholders will be asked to consider an amendment to delete the current provisions of Section 10 of the Stock Option Plan and replace them with the following:

  “10.         AMENDMENT AND DISCONTINUANCE OF PLAN: Subject to the requisite shareholder and regulatory approvals set forth under subparagraphs 10(a) and (b) below, the Board of Directors may from time to time amend or revise the terms of the Plan or may discontinue the Plan at any time provided however that no such right may, without the consent of the Optionee, in any manner adversely affect his rights under any Option theretofore granted under the Plan.

  (a)         The Board of Directors may, subject to receipt of requisite shareholder and regulatory approval, make the following amendments to the Plan:

    (i)   any amendment to the number of securities issuable under the Plan, including an increase to a fixed maximum number of securities or a change from a fixed maximum number of securities to a fixed maximum percentage. A change to a fixed maximum percentage which was previously approved by shareholders will not require additional shareholder approval;

    (ii)   any change to the definition of the eligible participants which would have the potential of broadening or increasing insider participation;

    (iii)   the addition of any form of financial assistance;

    (iv)   any amendment to a financial assistance provision which is more favourable to participants;

    (v)   any addition of a cashless exercise feature, payable in cash or securities which does not provide for a full deduction of the number of underlying securities from the Plan reserve;


15






    (vi)   the addition of a deferred or restricted share unit or any other provision which results in participants receiving securities while no cash consideration is received by the Company;

    (vii)   a discontinuance of the Plan; and

    (viii)   any other amendments that may lead to significant or unreasonable dilution in the Company’s outstanding securities or may provide additional benefits to eligible participants, especially insiders of the Company, at the expense of the Company and its existing shareholders.

  (b) The Board of Directors may, subject to receipt of requisite regulatory approval, where required, in its sole discretion make all other amendments to the Plan that are not of the type contemplated in subparagraph 10(a) above including, without limitation:

    (i)   amendments of a “housekeeping” nature;

    (ii)   a change to the vesting provisions of a security or the Plan;

    (iii)   a change to the termination provisions of a security or the Plan which does not entail an extension beyond the original expiry date; and

    (iv)   the addition of a cashless exercise feature, payable in cash or securities, which provides for a full deduction of the number of underlying securities from the Plan reserve.

  (c)         Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph 10(b), the Company shall additionally obtain requisite shareholder approval in respect of amendments to the Plan that are contemplated pursuant to section subparagraph 10(b), to the extent such approval is required by any applicable laws or regulations.”

As a result of its new rules, the TSX now strongly urges issuers to specifically set forth the levels of approval required for any and all amendments to security based compensation plans. By changing the amendment provisions of the Stock Option Plan in the foregoing manner the Company will be bringing the Stock Option Plan into alignment with the new rules of the TSX provided for in section 613 of the revised TSX Manual.

The Stock Option Plan does not contemplate and it is not proposed that any financial assistance be provided to participants in the Stock Option Plan by the Company to facilitate the purchase of Common Shares under the Stock Option Plan. All other provisions of the Stock Option Plan will remain in full force and effect. The Company’s only other compensation plan is the Black Hawk Plan and no further options will be granted thereunder.

The Board has approved the foregoing amendments to the Stock Option Plan, subject to shareholder and stock exchange approvals, and recommends that shareholders vote for the adoption of the resolution to make the foregoing amendments to the Stock Option Plan. In order to be effective, the proposed resolution approving the amended Stock Option Plan must be passed by a simple majority of the votes cast by the shareholders of the Company who vote in respect of such resolution. In the absence of instructions to the contrary, the accompanying form of proxy will be voted for this ordinary resolution.

The text of the resolution to be submitted to shareholders at the Meeting is set forth below, subject to such amendments, variations or additions as may be approved at the Meeting:

“NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

1.   The Company’s Stock Option Plan be and is hereby amended as set forth in the Company’s management information circular dated April 5, 2005; and


16






2.   any director or officer of the Company be and is hereby authorized and directed, acting for, in the name of and on behalf of the Company, to execute or cause to be executed, under the seal of the Company or otherwise, and to deliver or cause to be delivered, all such other deeds, documents, instruments and assurances, and to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as in the opinion of such director or officer of the Company may be necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of the foregoing resolution.”

Amendment of Articles – Continuance under the Canada Business Corporations Act

The Company is a corporation incorporated under the OBCA. Management wishes to effect the continuance (the “Continuance”) of the Company from the Province of Ontario to Canada. As a result of the Continuance, the corporate legislation that governs the Company will cease to be the OBCA, and the Company will be governed by the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “CBCA”). If the special resolution approving the Continuance is passed at the Meeting, it is proposed that the application for approval to continue the Company under the CBCA will be made as soon as practicable following the Meeting.

If the Continuance is approved, the articles of continuance will be adopted to replace the existing articles of the Company (the equivalent of a Certificate of Incorporation) and will constitute the governing instrument of the continued corporation under the CBCA. The existing articles of the Company will be adopted and continued federally, except to the extent that they may conflict with the CBCA.

In conjunction with the Continuance, shareholders will be requested to approve the amendment of the existing Articles and By-laws of the Company under the OBCA by substituting therefore the provisions of the articles of continuance under the CBCA and the adoption of By-Law Number 1 under the CBCA in place of the existing By-law under the OBCA. Reference is made to the heading “Confirmation of By-Law Number 1” below.

The provisions of the CBCA dealing with shareholder rights and protections are generally at least as broad as the OBCA. Shareholders of the Company will not lose any significant rights or protections as a result of the Continuance. See “Comparison of Rights of Shareholders under the OBCA and the CBCA” below.

The directors of the Company may, notwithstanding requisite shareholder approval, abandon the application for the Continuance without further approval of the shareholders, all as provided under the OBCA. In making such determination, the directors in their discretion, will determine whether it is in the best interests of the Company to proceed with the Continuance, after considering all relevant factors at the particular time, whether or not foreseen at this date.

At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed appropriate, to pass, with or without variation, a special resolution, in the form set out below (the “Continuance Resolution”), subject to such amendments, variations or additions as may be approved at the Meeting, approving the Continuance.

The Board recommends that shareholders vote for the adoption of the Continuance Resolution. In order to be effective, the Continuance Resolution must be approved by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders of the Company who vote in respect of the Continuance Resolution. In the absence of instructions to the contrary, the accompanying form of proxy will be voted for the Continuance Resolution.

The text of the Continuance Resolution to be submitted to shareholders at the Meeting is set forth below, subject to such amendments, variations or additions as may be approved at the Meeting:

“NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

1.   The continuance of the Company under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “CBCA”), including the execution of the articles of continuance, is hereby authorized and approved;

2.   the Company is hereby authorized to make application to the Director (Ontario) to permit such continuance in accordance with section 181 of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario);

3.   the Company is hereby authorized to make application to the Director appointed under the CBCA, for the Company to be continued under the CBCA;


17






4.   the directors of the Company are hereby authorized to abandon the application for continuance of the Company at any time without further approval of the shareholders of the Company; and

5.   any director or officer of the Company is hereby authorized and directed, acting for, in the name of and on behalf of the Company, to execute or cause to be executed, under the seal of the Company or otherwise, and to deliver or cause to be delivered, such other documents and instruments, and to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may in the opinion of such director or officer of the Company be necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of the foregoing resolutions.”

Pursuant to the OBCA, a registered shareholder is entitled to dissent to the Continuance and be paid fair value for his, her or its Common Shares if such shareholder objects to the Continuance Resolution. A management summary of the registered shareholders’ dissent rights is set forth below.

Comparison of Rights of Shareholders under the OBCA and the CBCA

The CBCA provides shareholders with substantially the same rights (including rights of dissent and appraisal and rights to bring derivative actions and oppression actions) as are available to shareholders under the OBCA. However, there are certain differences between the two statutes and the regulations thereunder. The following is a summary of certain material differences between the CBCA and the OBCA. This summary is not an exhaustive review of the two statutes. Reference should be made to the full text of both statutes and the regulations thereunder for particulars of any differences between them, and shareholders are urged to consult their legal or other professional advisors with regard to the implications of the Continuance that may be of importance to them.

Director Residency Requirements. Under the OBCA, a majority of a company’s directors must be resident Canadians. Under the CBCA, subject to certain exceptions, at least 25% of a company’s directors must be resident Canadians.

Place of Shareholders’ Meetings. Under the OBCA, a shareholders’ meeting may be held at such place in or outside Ontario (including outside Canada) as the directors may determine. Under the CBCA, a shareholders’ meeting may be held at any place in Canada, or at a place outside Canada if such place is specified in the articles of the company or if all the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting agree that the meeting is to be held at that place.

Solicitation of Proxies. Under the OBCA, a person who solicits proxies, other than by or on behalf of management of the company, must send a dissident’s proxy circular in prescribed form to each shareholder whose proxy is solicited and to certain other recipients.

Under the CBCA, proxies may be solicited other than by or on behalf of management of the company without the sending of a dissident’s proxy circular if:

    proxies are solicited from 15 or fewer shareholders; or

    the solicitation is conveyed by public broadcast, speech or publication containing certain of the information that would be required to be included in a dissident’s proxy circular.  

Furthermore, under the CBCA, the definition of “solicit” and “solicitation” specifically excludes:

    certain public announcements by a shareholder of how he or she intends to vote and the reasons for that decision;

    communications for the purpose of obtaining the number of shares required for a shareholder proposal; and

    certain other communications made other than by or on behalf of management of the company, including communications by one or more shareholders concerning the business and affairs of the company or the organization of a dissident’s proxy solicitation where no form of proxy is sent by or on behalf of such shareholders, by financial and other advisors in the ordinary course of business to shareholders who are their clients, or by any person who does not seek directly or indirectly the power to act as proxy for a shareholder.

Voting at Shareholders’ Meetings. Under the OBCA, where a company fixes a record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at a shareholders’ meeting and a shareholder transfers shares after the record date, the transferee of such shares is entitled to vote such shares at the meeting if the transferee establishes that he or she owns



18






the shares and demands, not later than 10 days before the date of the meeting, that his or her name be included in the list of shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting. If no record date is fixed and a list of shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting is prepared as of the date (the “deemed record date”) preceding the date on which notice of the meeting is given, a transferee of shares after the deemed record date is entitled to vote such shares under similar circumstances. Under the CBCA, shareholders are entitled to vote only those shares held by them on the record date for voting or the deemed record date for voting, as the case may be. Transferees of shares after the record date or the deemed record date, as the case may be, are not entitled to vote the transferred shares at the meeting.

Notice of Shareholders’ Meetings. Under the OBCA, a public company must give notice of a meeting of shareholders not less than 21 days and not more than 50 days before the meeting. Under the CBCA, notice of a meeting of shareholders must be provided not less than 21 days and not more than 60 days before the meeting. However, public companies incorporated under either statute are currently subject to the requirements of National Instrument 54-101 which provides for minimum notice periods greater than the minimum 21 day period in either statute.

Telephonic or Electronic Meetings. Under the OBCA, a meeting of shareholders may be held by telephonic or electronic means (and shareholders may participate in and vote at the meeting by such means) only if permitted by the articles or by-laws of the company. Under the CBCA, unless a company’s by-laws provide otherwise, if a company provides shareholders with a telephonic, electronic or other communication facility that permits all participants to communicate adequately with each other during the meeting, then any person entitled to attend the meeting may participate by such means.

Shareholder Proposals. Under the OBCA, only registered shareholders may submit shareholder proposals relating to matters which the shareholder wishes to raise at a shareholders’ meeting.

Under the CBCA, shareholder proposals may be submitted by both registered and beneficial shareholders, provided that:

    the shareholder owned, of record or beneficially, for at least six months prior to the submission of the proposal, voting shares at least equal to 1% of the total number of outstanding voting shares of the company or whose fair market value is at least $2,000, whichever is less; or  

    the proposal must have the support of persons who in the aggregate have owned, of record or beneficially, such number of voting shares for such period.  

Registered Office. Under the OBCA, a company's registered office must be located in Ontario. Under the CBCA, a company's registered office may be located at any place in Canada.

Financial Assistance. Under the OBCA, a corporation may provide financial assistance by way of a loan, guarantee or otherwise to any person, provided that certain disclosure obligations are met in respect of loans to directors, officers and shareholders. There are no financial assistance provisions in the CBCA.

In addition to the foregoing, the current general by-law of the Company and the proposed By-Law Number 1 for confirmation at the Meeting differ in certain respects, particularly with respect to quorum requirements for shareholder meetings. The current general by-law of the Company provides that the presence of two persons entitled to vote thereat, either as shareholders or proxyholders, constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at a shareholders’ meeting. The proposed By-Law Number 1 provides that the presence of two persons entitled to vote thereat, either as shareholders or proxyholders, holding at least 5% of the shares entitled to vote at a shareholders’ meeting constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at a shareholders’ meeting.

Dissent Rights

Section 185 of the OBCA provides registered holders of Common Shares, in connection with the vote on the Continuance, with the right to dissent and, if the Continuance is effected, to be paid by the Company the “fair value” of their shares, determined as of the close of business on the last business day before the Continuance Resolution is adopted. A summary of Section 185 of the OBCA providing for these rights is set out below. The summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to Section 185, the complete text of which is annexed hereto as Schedule “C” and forms a part of this management information circular.



19






Failure to strictly comply with the requirements of Section 185 of the OBCA may result in the loss of any right of dissent. The right of dissent provided for under Section 185 of the OBCA applies only to registered shareholders of the Company, and accordingly, only registered shareholders may exercise a right of dissent. Persons who are beneficial owners of Common Shares registered in the name of a broker, custodian, nominee or other intermediary who wish to exercise a right of dissent must make arrangements for the Common Shares beneficially owned by them to be registered in their name prior to the time the written objection is required to be received by the Company or, alternatively, make arrangements for the registered holder of their Common Shares to dissent on their behalf.

To comply with Section 185, a dissenting shareholder must send to the Company a written objection to the Continuance: (a) at or before the Meeting; or (b) if the Company did not send notice to the shareholder of the purpose of the Meeting or of their right to dissent, within a reasonable time after such shareholder learns that the Continuance Resolution was adopted and of such shareholder’s right to dissent. An application may be made to the court by originating notice after the adoption of the Continuance Resolution by the Company or by a shareholder if such shareholder has sent an objection to the Company as set forth above, to fix the fair value of his, her or its Common Shares. If such a court application is made, the Company shall, unless the court otherwise orders, send to each dissenting shareholder a written offer to pay such shareholder an amount considered by the directors to be the fair value of the shares: (a) at least ten days before the date on which the application is returnable, if the Company is the applicant, or (b) within ten days after the Company is served with a copy of the originating notice, if a shareholder is the applicant.

On this court application, the court shall make an order: (a) fixing the fair value of the Common Shares of all dissenting shareholders who are parties to the application; (b) giving judgment in that amount against the Company and in favour of each of those dissenting shareholders; and (c) fixing the time within which the Company must pay that amount to a shareholder. On the first to occur of: (a) the Continuance being effected; (b) the making of an agreement between the dissenting shareholder and the Company as to the payment to be made by the Company for the dissenting shareholder’s Common Shares; or (c) the pronouncement of the court order referred to above; the shareholder ceases to have any rights as a shareholder other than the right to be paid the fair value of his, her or its Common Shares in the amount agreed to or in the amount of the judgment, as the case may be. Until one of the events described above occurs, the shareholder may withdraw its dissent or the Company may rescind the Continuance Resolution, and in either event proceedings under Section 185 shall be discontinued.

The Company is prohibited from making a payment to a dissenting shareholder under Section 185 of the OBCA if there are reasonable grounds for believing that: (a) the Company is or would after the payment be unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or (b) the realizable value of the Company’s assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities. In such event, and notwithstanding that a judgment has been given in favour of a dissenting shareholder as referred to above, the dissenting shareholder, by written notice delivered to the Company within 30 days after receiving a notice from the Company that it is unable lawfully to pay dissenting shareholders for their shares, may withdraw its notice of objection, in which case the Company is deemed to consent to the withdrawal and the shareholder is reinstated to its full rights as a shareholder. If the dissenting shareholder fails to deliver such notice, it retains a status as a claimant against the Company, to be paid as soon as the Company is lawfully able to do so or, in a liquidation, to be ranked subordinate to the rights of creditors of the Company but in priority to its shareholders.

The procedures required in connection with the exercise of rights under Section 185 of the OBCA are very technical, complex and in most cases, time-consuming and expensive. The sending of a notice of dissent does not deprive a shareholder of its right to vote against the Continuance Resolution; however, a vote against the Continuance Resolution does not constitute a notice of dissent.

Confirmation of By-Law Number 1

If the Continuance is approved and effected, By-Law Number 1 under the CBCA which has been conditionally approved by the Board will be implemented as the Company’s general by-law. Shareholders are being asked to confirm By-Law Number 1.

By-Law Number 1 is standard in its form and governs all aspects of the business and affairs of the Company, such as the establishment of a quorum for meetings of directors and shareholders, the conduct of such meetings, signing authorities, the appointment of officers, the description of the officers’ duties, the establishment of committees of the Board, the authority of persons to contract on behalf of the Company and similar matters. The complete text of By-Law Number 1 is attached as Schedule “D” to this management information circular.



20






At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed appropriate, to pass, with or without variation, a resolution, in the form set out below (the “By-Law Resolution”), subject to such amendments, variations or additions as may be approved at the Meeting, confirming By-Law Number 1.

The Board recommends that shareholders vote for the adoption of the By-Law Resolution. In order to be effective, the By-Law Resolution must be approved by not less than a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders of the Company who vote in respect of the By-Law Resolution. In the absence of instructions to the contrary, the accompanying form of proxy will be voted for the By-Law Resolution.

The text of the By-Law Resolution to be submitted to shareholders at the Meeting is set forth below, subject to such amendments, variations or additions as may be approved at the Meeting:

“NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

1.   The general by-law in the form attached to the management information circular of the Company dated April 5, 2005 as Schedule “D” be, and it hereby is, confirmed as the new general by-law for the Company, subject to such additions, deletions or other changes thereto, if any, as any one director or officer of the Company may consider necessary or desirable and shall approve, to be effective upon the continuance of the Company pursuant to the federal laws of Canada; and

2.   any director or officer of the Company is hereby authorized and directed, acting for, in the name of and on behalf of the Company, to execute or cause to be executed, under the seal of the Company or otherwise, and to deliver or cause to be delivered, such other documents and instruments, and to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may in the opinion of such director or officer of the Company be necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of the foregoing resolution.”

SCHEDULE “A”

GLENCAIRN GOLD CORPORATION
ALIGNMENT WITH TSX CORPORATE GOVERNANCE GUIDELINES


The following table indicates how the corporate governance practices of the Company align with the TSX Corporate Governance Guidelines:

TSX Corporate Governance Guidelines   Corporate Governance Practices of the Company

1. Board should explicitly assume responsibility for stewardship of the corporation, and specifically for:   The Board is responsible for the stewardship of the business and affairs of the Company and it reviews, discusses and approves various matters related to the Company's operations, strategic direction and organizational structure to ensure that the best interests of the Company and its shareholders are being served. The Board's duties include social responsibility issues and environmental matters.

  a) Adoption of a strategic planning process   The duties of the Board include the review of strategic business plans and corporate objectives, the approval of the annual operating plan and the approval of capital expenditures, acquisitions, dispositions, investments and financings that exceed certain limits.

The Board monitors management on a regular basis. Management of the Company is aware of the need to obtain Board approval for significant corporate or business transactions outside of the normal course of business. Less significant activities which can be addressed by management are often reported to the Board, with whom management has a good working relationship.

  b) Identification of principal risks, and implementing risk management systems   The Board and its Audit Committee identify the principal risks of its business and ensure the implementation of appropriate systems to manage such risks.

  c) Succession planning and monitoring senior management   The Board is responsible for establishing processes for succession planning, reviewing succession plans and appointing and monitoring the performance of senior executives.

  d) Communications policy   The Timely Disclosure, Confidentiality and Insider Trading Policy of the Company is reviewed by its Board periodically and provides that communications with all constituents will be made in a timely, accurate and effective manner.

The Company communicates regularly with shareholders through press releases, as well as annual and quarterly reports. Investor and shareholder concerns are addressed on an on-going basis by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

The Company is dedicated to the maintenance of good shareholder relations and attempts to deal with any


1




TSX Corporate Governance Guidelines   Corporate Governance Practices of the Company

        expressed concerns of shareholders in an effective and timely manner. The Company has few concerns or complaints expressed to it by shareholders, but attempts to deal with any concerns or complaints that it does receive effectively, in an informal manner.

  e) Integrity of internal control and management information systems   The Board and its Audit Committee are responsible for the supervision of the reliability and integrity of the accounting principles and practices, financial reporting and disclosure practices followed by management. The Audit Committee is responsible for ensuring that management has established an adequate system of internal controls and maintains practices and processes to assure compliance with applicable laws.

2. a) Majority of directors should be unrelated   Under the TSX Corporate Governance Guidelines, an unrelated director is a director who is independent of management and is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the director's ability to act with a view to the best interests of the Company, other than interests and relationships arising from shareholding. A related director is a director who is not an unrelated director.

The Board is currently comprised of seven (7) members, five (5) of whom are considered to be unrelated directors under the Guidelines at the present time.

  b) If the corporation has a significant shareholder, the board should include directors who do not have interests in or relationships with the corporation or such significant shareholder   This guideline does not apply to the Company since it does not have a significant shareholder.

3. Disclose, for each director, whether he is related, and how that conclusion was reached   Ian J. McDonald is considered to be a related director because he is employed by the Company and is a member of management.

Kerry J. Knoll is considered to be a related director because he is employed by the Company and is a member of management.

Each of Colin K. Benner, Gordon F. Bub, Donald K. Charter, John Kalmet and Patrick J. Mars is an unrelated director as he does not have any business, employment or other relationships with the Company. Ronald P. Gagel, nominee for election as a director, is unrelated.

The shareholdings of each current director is disclosed in the management information circular under the heading "Election of Directors".

4. Appoint a committee of directors, composed exclusively of outside (non-management) directors, a majority of whom are unrelated,   The Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for recruiting new directors, proposing new director nominees to the Board and reviewing the performance


2






TSX Corporate Governance Guidelines   Corporate Governance Practices of the Company

  responsible for proposing to the full board new nominees to the board and for assessing directors on an ongoing basis   and qualifications of existing directors.

5. Implement a process for assessing the effectiveness of the board, its committees and individual directors   The Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing on a periodic basis the size and composition of the Board and assessing the effectiveness of the Board as a whole, the committees of the Board and the contributions of individual directors.

6. Provide an orientation and education program for new directors   The Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for providing an orientation and education program for new members of the Board. The preparation of a comprehensive orientation and continuing education program for directors is under review.

7. Implement a process to examine the size of board, with a view to improving effectiveness   The Board is of the view that its current size (seven (7) directors) is conducive to effective decision-making.

8. The board should review compensation of directors in light of risks and responsibilities   The Compensation Committee reviews the adequacy and form of, and recommends to the Board, compensation including option grants received by directors to ensure that the compensation received by the directors accurately reflects the risks and responsibilities involved in being an effective director. The Compensation Committee and the Board have determined that, until the Bellavista Mine is in production, stock options are the appropriate form of compensation for directors. Once the Company has both the Limon and Bellavista Mines in production, the Compenastion Committee will consider the appropriate level of annual retainer, meeting fees, and other benefits to ensure that the directors are property compensated.

9. Committees of the board should generally be composed of outside (non-management) directors, a majority of whom are unrelated directors   There are four committees of the Board: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Corporate Governance Committee and the Safety and Environment Committee.

The Audit Committee meets at least once each quarter and reviews the annual and quarterly financial statements, matters relating to the securities commissions, investments and transactions that could adversely affect the well-being of the Company. Through meetings with external auditors and senior management, the Audit Committee discusses, among other things, the effectiveness of the internal control procedures established for the Company. The members of the Audit Committee are Patrick J. Mars (Chairman), Colin K. Benner and Gordon F. Bub, all of whom are unrelated directors under the Guidelines.

The Compensation Committee meets as required to review compensation for senior management. The members of the Compensation Committee are John Kalmet (Chairman), Colin K. Benner and Patrick J.

TSX Corporate Governance Guidelines   Corporate Governance Practices of the Company

      Mars, all of whom are unrelated directors.

The Corporate Governance Committee will meet at least once each year or more frequently as circumstances require. The Corporate Governance Committee may ask members of management or others to attend meetings or to provide information as necessary. In addition, the Corporate Governance Committee or, at a minimum, the Chairman of such committee may meet with the Company's in house or external corporate counsel to discuss the Company's corporate governance policies and practices. The members of the Corporate Governance Committee are Donald K. Charter (Chairman), Gordon F. Bub and Ian J. McDonald, a majority of who are unrelated directors under the Guidelines.

The Safety and Environment Committee oversees the development and implementation of policies and best practices of the Company relating to environmental and health and safety issues in order to ensure compliance with applicable laws and to ensure the safety of its employees. The members of the Safety and Environment Committee are Colin K. Benner (Chairman) and John Kalmet, both of whom are unrelated directors under the Guidelines.


  Other matters are considered by the full Board. As required by applicable law or when circumstances warrant, the Board may strike ad hoc committees.

10. The board should expressly assume responsibility for, or assign to a committee the general responsibility for, the approach to corporate governance issues   The Board has assigned responsibility for the Company's approach to corporate governance issues to the Corporate Governance Committee. The Corporate Governance Committee met in September 2004 and reviewed the Company's corporate governance practices, reviewed and finalized Board and Committee Charters and policies and the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and recommended them to the board for approval. Once the Instrument and Policy are final, the Corporate Governance Committee will meet and will review of the Company's corporate governance practices to ensure that the Company's corporate governance practices are appropriate taking into account the recommendations in the Instrument and the Policy and given the Company's size and resources and other applicable laws. Areas under review include the appointment of a lead director, adoption of assessment criteria for the Board and its Committees and development of a continuing education program for directors.

A Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and a Whistleblower Policy, monitored by the Audit Committee, has been approved, distributed to the Company's operating sites and offices and circulated to all employees.

TSX Corporate Governance Guidelines   Corporate Governance Practices of the Company

11. a) Define limits to management's responsibilities by developing mandates for:    

  i) the board   A Charter of the Board of Directors, setting out the responsibilities of the Board and its Committees, was circulated and reviewed in 2004 and, upon recommendation by the Corporate Governance Committee, was approved in November 2004. In addition to the Charter of the Board of Directors, the corporate standard of care is set out in the governing corporate legislation of the Company, the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "OBCA"). The OBCA indicates that each director and officer of a Company governed by it, in exercising his or her powers and discharging his or her duties, shall act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation and exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. The Board explicitly assumes responsibility for stewardship of the Company, including the integrity of the Company's internal control and management information systems. In addition, the preparation of position descriptions for directors, the Chairman or lead director and the Chairman of each Committee of the Board is under review.

  Although the Board supervises, directs and oversees the business and affairs of the Company, it delegates the day-to-day management to others, while reserving the ability to intervene in management decisions and to exercise final judgment on any matter.

  In order to carry out the foregoing responsibilities, the Board meets as required by circumstances.

  The Board expects management to operate the business in accordance with the mandate referred to above and to maximize shareholder value, consistent with public and employee safety and the other objectives referred to above. The results of the management activities are reviewed continually by the Board.

  ii) the Chief Executive Officer   The objective set for the Chief Executive Officer by the Board is the general mandate to implement the approved corporate objectives and the strategic business plan (see Item 1(a) above). The preparation of a position description for the Chief Executive Officer is under review.
  b) Board should approve Chief Executive Officer's corporate objectives   See Item 11(a)(ii) above.


5






TSX Corporate Governance Guidelines   Corporate Governance Practices of the Company

12. Implement structures and procedures to ensure the Board can function independently of management   The Board has appointed a Chairman who is other than the Chief Executive Officer. The appointment of a lead director is being considered. The Agenda for each meeting of the Board or a committee of the Board provides the opportunity for a private discussion among unrelated directors without management.

13. Establish an Audit Committee, composed only of outside directors, with a specifically defined mandate   See Item 9 above.

14. Implement a system to enable individual directors to engage outside advisors, at the corporation's expense   Each committee of the Board and, in appropriate circumstances and with the approval of the Board, an individual director may engage outside advisors, independent of management, at the expense of the Company.

SCHEDULE “B”

GLENCAIRN GOLD CORPORATION
STOCK OPTION PLAN

AS AMENDED AND RESTATED

(as last amended by the Board of Directors on March 11, 2005
and approved by shareholders on •, 2005)


1.     PURPOSE: The purpose of this Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) is to encourage common stock ownership in Glencairn Gold Corporation (the “Company”) by directors, officers, key employees (including part time) and consultants of the Company or any affiliate of the Company (hereinafter referred to as “Optionees”) who are primarily responsible for the management and profitable growth of its business and to advance the interests of the Company by providing additional incentive for superior performance by such persons and to enable the Company to attract and retain valued directors, officers and employees by granting options (the “Options” or “Option”) to purchase common shares of the Company on the terms and conditions set forth in this Plan and any Stock Option Agreements entered into between the Company and the Optionees in accordance with the Plan.

2.     ADMINISTRATION: The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors from time to time of the Company or a committee of the Board of Directors duly appointed for this purpose by the Board of Directors and consisting of not less than three directors (the “Administrator”). If a committee is appointed for this purpose, all references to the term “Administrator” will be deemed to be references to the committee. No member of the Board of Directors shall by virtue of such appointment be disentitled or ineligible to receive Options. The Administrator shall have full authority to interpret the Plan and to make such rules and regulations and establish such procedures as it deems appropriate for the administration of the Plan, taking into consideration the recommendations of management, and the decision of the Administrator shall be binding and conclusive. The decision of the Administrator shall be binding, provided that notwithstanding anything herein contained, the Administrator may from time to time delegate the authority vested in it under this clause to the President who shall thereupon exercise all of the powers herein given to the Administrator, subject to any express direction by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company from time to time and further provided that a decision of the majority of persons comprising the Board of Directors in respect of any matter hereunder shall be binding and conclusive for all purposes and upon all persons. The senior officers of the Company are authorized and directed to do all things and execute and deliver all instruments, undertakings and applications as they in their absolute discretion consider necessary for the implementation of the Plan.

3.     NUMBER OF SHARES SUBJECT TO OPTIONS: The Board of Directors of the Company will make available that number of common shares for the purpose of the Plan that it considers appropriate, except that the number of common shares, that may be issuable pursuant to the exercise of Options under the Plan and all other security based compensation plans, shall not exceed 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares as at the date of grant of an Option under the Plan. In the event that Options granted under the Plan, and under any other stock options of the Company which may be in effect at a particular time, are surrendered, terminate, expire without being exercised or are exercised, in whole or in part, new Options may be granted covering such Options.

4.     PARTICIPATION: Options shall be granted under the Plan only to Optionees as shall be designated from time to time by the Administrator and shall be subject to the approval of such regulatory authorities as the Administrator shall designate, which shall also determine the number of shares subject to such Option. Optionees who are consultants of the Company or an affiliate of the Company must either perform services for the Company on an ongoing basis or provide, or be expected to provide, a service of value to the Company or to an affiliate of the Company.

5.     TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS: The terms and conditions of each Option granted under the Plan shall be set forth in written Stock Option Agreements between the Company and the Optionee. Such terms and conditions shall include the following as well as such other provisions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as may be deemed advisable by the Administrator:



1






    (a)        Number of Shares subject to Option: The number of shares subject to an Option shall be determined from time to time by the Administrator; but the maximum number of shares which may be reserved for issuance and the maximum number of Options which may be granted within any one year period to Insiders (as such term is defined under Section 1(1) of the Securities Act (Ontario), other than a person who falls within that definition solely by virtue of being a director or senior officer of a subsidiary of the Company, and an associate, as defined under Section 1(1) of the Securities Act (Ontario), of any person who is an Insider) under the Plan and under any other share compensation arrangements shall be 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company (on a non-diluted basis) and the Option Price per common share shall be determined in accordance with subparagraph (b) below.

    (b)        Option Price: The Option Price of any shares in respect of which an Option may be granted under the Plan shall not be less than the “market price” of the shares at the time the Option is granted, less any discount normally allowed pursuant to the rules of any regulatory authority or stock exchange to which the Company is subject. For the purpose of this Paragraph 5, “market price” shall be deemed to be the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange, or another stock exchange where the majority of the trading volume and value of the common shares occurs, for the five trading days immediately preceding the day the Option is granted, or if not traded on a stock exchange, the market price shall be determined by the Administrator. In the resolution allocating any Option, the Administrator may determine that the date of grant aforesaid shall be a future date determined in the manner specified by such resolution. The Administrator may also determine that the Option Price per share may escalate at a specified rate dependent upon the year in which any Option to purchase common shares may be exercised by the Optionee.

    (c)        Payment: The full purchase price of shares purchased under the Option shall be paid in cash upon the exercise thereof. A holder of an Option shall have none of the rights of a stockholder until the shares are issued to him. All common shares issued pursuant to the exercise of Options granted or deemed to be granted under the Plan, will be so issued as fully paid and non-assessable common shares. No Optionee or his legal representatives, legatees or distributes will be, or will be deemed to be, a holder of any common shares subject to an Option under this Plan, unless and until certificates for such common shares are issued to him or them under the terms of the Plan.

    (d)        Term of Options: Options may be granted under this Plan exercisable over a period not exceeding five (5) years. Each Option shall be subject to earlier termination as provided in subparagraph (g) below.

    (e)        Vesting of Options: The Administrator may determine when any Option will become exercisable and may determine that the Option will be exercisable in instalments or pursuant to a vesting schedule.

    (f)        Exercise of Options: The exercise of any Option will be contingent upon receipt by the Company at its head office of a written notice of exercise, specifying the number of common shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price of the common shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised (by certified cheque, bank draft or other payment alternative acceptable to the Company). An Option may be exercised in full or in part during any year of the term of the Option as provided in the written Stock Option Agreement. This Plan shall not confer upon the Optionee any right with respect to continuance as a director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company or of any affiliate of the Company.

    (g)        Termination of Options: Any Option granted pursuant hereto, to the extent not validly exercised, and save as expressly otherwise provided herein, will terminate on the earlier of the following dates:

    (i)   the date of expiration specified in the Stock Option Agreement, being not more than five (5) years after the date the Option was granted;

    (ii)   subject to the discretion of the Administrator to extend the date of termination of options in circumstances where they determine it to be in the best interests of the Company, the date of termination of the Optionee’s employment or upon ceasing to be a director and/or officer of the Company for any cause other than by retirement, permanent disability or death;

    (iii)   six (6) months after the date of the Optionee’s death during which period the Option may be exercised only by the Optionee’s legal representative or the person or persons to whom


2






  the deceased Optionee’s rights under the Option shall pass by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution, and only to the extent the Optionee would have been entitled to exercise it at the time of his death if the employment of the Optionee had been terminated by the Company on such date; or

    (iv)   three (3) months after termination of the Optionee’s employment by permanent disability or retirement under any Retirement Plan of the Company during which three (3) month period the Optionee may exercise the Option to the extent he was entitled to exercise it at the time of such termination provided that if the Optionee shall die within such three (3) month period, then such right shall be extended to six (6) months following the death of the Optionee and shall be exercisable only by the persons described in subparagraph (f)(iii) hereof and only to the extent therein set forth.

    (h)        Non-transferability of Options: No Option shall be transferable by the Optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during his lifetime only by him.

    (i)        Applicable Laws or Regulations: The Company’s obligation to issue and deliver stock under each Option is subject to such compliance by the Company and any Optionee as the Company deems necessary or advisable with all laws, rules and regulations of Canada and the United States of America and any Provinces and/or States thereof applying to the authorization, issuance, listing or sale or securities and is also subject to the acceptance for listing of the common shares which may be issued in exercise thereof by each stock exchange upon which shares of the Company are listed for trading.

6.     ADJUSTMENT IN EVENT OF CHANGE IN STOCK: Each Option shall contain uniform provisions in such form as may be approved by the Administrator to appropriately adjust the number and kind of shares covered by the Option and the exercise price of shares subject to the Option in the event of a declaration of stock dividends, or stock subdivisions or consolidations or reconstruction or reorganization or recapitalization of the Company or other relevant changes in the Company’s capitalization (other than issuance of additional shares) to prevent substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to the Optionee by such Option. The number of common shares available for Options, the common shares subject to any Option, and the Option Price thereof shall be adjusted appropriately by the Administrator and such adjustment shall be effective and binding for all purposes of the Plan.

7.     AMALGAMATION OR MERGER: If the Company amalgamates, combines with or merges with or into another corporation, or effects an arrangement or similar transaction, which it reserves the right to do, any common shares receivable on the exercise of an Option granted under the Plan shall be converted into the securities, property or cash which the Optionee would have received upon such amalgamation, combination, merger, arrangement or similar transaction if the Optionee had exercised his Option immediately prior to the effective date applicable to such amalgamation, combination, merger, arrangement or similar transaction and the Option Price shall be adjusted appropriately by the Administrator and such adjustment shall be binding for all purposes of the Plan.

8.     APPROVALS: The obligation of the Company to issue and deliver the common shares in accordance with the Plan is subject to any approvals which may be required from any regulatory authority or stock exchange having jurisdiction over the securities of the Company. If any common shares cannot be issued to any Optionee for whatever reason, the obligation of the Company to issue such common shares shall terminate and any Option exercise price paid to the Company will be returned to the Optionee.

9.     STOCK EXCHANGE RULES: The rules of any stock exchange upon which the Company common shares are listed shall be applicable relative to Options granted to Optionees.

10.     AMENDMENT AND DISCONTINUANCE OF PLAN: Subject to the requisite shareholder and regulatory approvals set forth under subparagraphs 10(a) and (b) below, the Board of Directors may from time to time amend or revise the terms of the Plan or may discontinue the Plan at any time provided however that no such right may, without the consent of the Optionee, in any manner adversely affect his rights under any Option theretofore granted under the Plan.



3






    (a)        The Board of Directors may, subject to receipt of requisite shareholder and regulatory approval, make the following amendments to the Plan:

    (i)   any amendment to the number of securities issuable under the Plan, including an increase to a fixed maximum number of securities or a change from a fixed maximum number of securities to a fixed maximum percentage. A change to a fixed maximum percentage which was previously approved by shareholders will not require additional shareholder approval;

    (ii)   any change to the definition of the eligible participants which would have the potential of broadening or increasing insider participation;

    (iii)   the addition of any form of financial assistance;

    (iv)   any amendment to a financial assistance provision which is more favourable to participants;

    (vi)   the addition of a deferred or restricted share unit or any other provision which results in participants receiving securities while no cash consideration is received by the Company;

    (vii)   a discontinuance of the Plan; and

    (viii)   any other amendments that may lead to significant or unreasonable dilution in the Company’s outstanding securities or may provide additional benefits to eligible participants, especially insiders of the Company, at the expense of the Company and its existing shareholders.

     (b)        The Board of Directors may, subject to receipt of requisite regulatory approval, where required, in its sole discretion make all other amendments to the Plan that are not of the type contemplated in subparagraph 10(a) above including, without limitation:

    (i)   amendments of a “housekeeping” nature;

    (ii)   a change to the vesting provisions of a security or the Plan;

    (iii)   a change to the termination provisions of a security or the Plan which does not entail an extension beyond the original expiry date; and

    (iv)   the addition of a cashless exercise feature, payable in cash or securities, which provides for a full deduction of the number of underlying securities from the Plan reserve.

    (c)        Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph 10(b), the Company shall additionally obtain requisite shareholder approval in respect of amendments to the Plan that are contemplated pursuant to section subparagraph 10(b), to the extent such approval is required by any applicable laws or regulations.

11.     EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION OF PLAN: The Plan shall remain in full force and effect from the date of shareholder approval hereof and from year to year thereafter until amended or terminated in accordance with Paragraph 10 hereof and for so long thereafter as Options remain outstanding in favour of any Optionee; provided, however, that no Options may be granted more than 10 years after the earlier of the Plan’s adoption by the Board of Directors and approval by the shareholders of the Company.

Section 3.07 Statements:     A director who resigns or who learns of a meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation called for the purpose of removing him as a director or a meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation or of the directors at which another person is to be elected or appointed a director in his place may submit to the Corporation a written statement giving the reason or reasons for his resignation or the reasons why he opposes the proposed action. The secretary or another officer of the Corporation shall send, or cause to be sent, a copy of such statement to every shareholder of the Corporation entitled to receive notice of meetings of shareholders of the Corporation and, if required by the Act, to the Director unless the statement is included or attached to a management proxy circular required by the Act.

Section 3.10 Notice:     Notice of the time and of the place or manner of participation for every meeting of the directors shall be sent to each director not less than 24 hours (excluding Saturdays and holidays) before the time of the meeting; provided always that a director may in any manner and at any time waive notice of a meeting of the directors and attendance of a director at a meeting of the directors shall constitute a waiver of notice of the meeting except when the director attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business thereat on the grounds that the meeting is not lawfully called and provided further that meetings of directors may be held at any time without notice if all of the directors are present (except where a director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business thereat on the grounds that the meeting is not lawfully called) or if all of the absent directors waive notice thereof either before or after the date of such meeting.

Section 3.13 Meetings by Telephonic, Electronic or Other Communication Facility:     If all of the directors present at or participating in the meeting consent (which consent may be given at any time, either before or after the meeting, and either in writing or verbally), a meeting of the directors or any committee thereof may be held by means of such telephone, electronic or other communication facilities as permit all persons participating in the meeting to communicate with each other simultaneously and instantaneously and each director participating in such a meeting by such means shall be deemed to be present at the meeting.

ARTICLE SIX
CONDUCT OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS AND INDEMNITY

Section 6.01 Standard of Care:     Every director and officer of the Corporation in exercising his powers and discharging his duties shall act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation and shall exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.

Section 6.02 Disclosure of Interest:     A director or officer of the Corporation who is a party to, is a director or officer of, or has a material interest in, another person who is a party to, a material contract or transaction with the Corporation shall, in accordance with the Act, disclose in writing to the Corporation or request to have entered in the minutes of a meeting of the directors the nature and extent of his interest. Except as permitted by the Act, a director so interested shall not vote on any motion to approve any such contract or transaction. A general notice to the directors by a director or officer of the Corporation that he is a director or officer of, or has a material interest in, a person and is to be regarded as interested in, any contract made or transaction entered into with that person is a sufficient disclosure of interest in relation to any contract or transaction so made or entered into.

Section 6.03 Effect of Disclosure:     Where the Corporation enters into a material contract or material transaction with a director or officer of the Corporation (or with another person of which a director or officer of the Corporation is a director or officer or in which he has a material interest), the director or officer is not accountable to the Corporation or the shareholders of the Corporation for any profit or gain realized from the contract or transaction and the contract or transaction is neither void nor voidable, by reason only of that relationship (or by reason only that the director is present at or is counted to determine the presence of a quorum at the meeting of directors that authorized the contract or transaction), if the director or officer disclosed his interest in the manner referred to in section 6.02 of this by-law and the Act and the contract or transaction was reasonable and fair to the Corporation at the time it was so authorized or approved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a director or officer of the Corporation, acting honestly and in good faith, is not accountable to the Corporation or to the shareholders of the Corporation for any profit or gain realized from any such contract or transaction by reason only of his being a director or officer, and the contract or transaction, if it was reasonable and fair to the Corporation at the time it was authorized or approved, is not by reason only of the interest of the director or officer of the Corporation therein void or voidable, if the contract or transaction is confirmed or approved by at least two-thirds of the votes cast at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation called for that purpose and the nature and extent of the interest of the director or officer of the Corporation in the contract or transaction are disclosed in reasonable detail in the notice calling the meeting or in an information circular relating thereto or if the contract or transaction is confirmed or approved by a signed resolution of the shareholders of the Corporation and the nature and extent of the interest of the director or officer in the contract or transaction are disclosed in reasonable detail to the shareholders of the Corporation signing such resolution before it is signed.

Section 6.04 Indemnity:     Subject to the limitations contained in the Act, the Corporation shall indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer, or a person who acts or acted at the Corporation’s request as a director or officer or an individual acting in a similar capacity of another entity, and their heirs and personal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by them in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding to which the individual is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Corporation or at the request of Corporation as director or officer, or an individual acting in similar capacity, of such other entity, if:

  (a)   they acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which they acted as director or officer, or in a similar capacity, at the Corporation’s request; and

  (b)   in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, they had reasonable grounds for believing that their conduct was lawful.

The Corporation shall advance moneys to a director, officer or other individual for the costs, charges and expenses of any proceeding referred to in this section 6.04 of this by-law. The individual shall repay the moneys to the Corporation if the individual does not fulfill the relevant conditions specified in the Act. The Corporation shall also indemnify such person in such other circumstances as the Act permits or requires. Nothing in this by-law shall limit the right of any person entitled to indemnity to claim indemnity apart from the provisions of this by-law.

Section 6.05 Limitation of Liability:     So long as such person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation, no person referred to in section 6.04 of this by-law (including, to the extent it is then applicable to them, any employees referred to therein) shall be liable for any damage, loss, cost or liability sustained or incurred by the Corporation or any other entity, except where specifically required by the Act.

Section 6.06 Insurance:     Subject to the Act, the Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any person referred to in section 6.04 of this by-law.

Section 6.07 Approval:     The directors may submit any contract or transaction for authorization, approval, ratification or confirmation at any meeting of shareholders and, subject to the Act, any such contract or transaction that is authorized, approved, ratified or confirmed by a resolution passed by a majority of the votes cast at any such meeting (unless any different or additional requirement is imposed by the Act or by the articles or any other by-law of the Corporation) shall be as valid and as binding upon the Corporation and upon all of the shareholders of the Corporation as though such contract or transaction had been authorized, approved, ratified or confirmed by each and every shareholder of the Corporation.

SHARES

Section 7.01 Issue:     Subject to the articles of the Corporation, the directors may issue all or from time to time any shares which the Corporation is then authorized to issue to such persons and for such consideration as the directors shall determine. No share of the Corporation shall be issued until the Corporation has received the requisite consideration for such share in compliance with the Act.

Section 7.02 Commissions:     From time to time the directors may authorize the Corporation to pay a reasonable commission to any person in consideration of the purchase, or agreement to purchase, shares of the Corporation from the Corporation or from any other person or in consideration of the procurement or agreement to procure purchasers for any such shares.

However, the Corporation is not bound to issue more than one share certificate or acknowledgement in respect of shares of the Corporation held jointly by several persons and delivery of such share certificate or acknowledgement to one of such persons is sufficient delivery to all of them. Share certificates and acknowledgements shall be in such form as the directors shall approve from time to time and, unless otherwise ordered by the directors, shall be signed in accordance with section 2.04 of this by-law and need not be under the corporate seal of the Corporation. However, share certificates representing shares of the Corporation in respect of which a transfer agent has been appointed shall be signed in accordance with the Act by or on behalf of such transfer agent and other share certificates shall be signed in accordance with the Act by at least one signing officer. A share certificate containing the signature of a person which is printed, engraved, lithographed or otherwise mechanically reproduced thereon may be issued notwithstanding that such person has ceased to be a director or an officer, as the case may be, of the Corporation and shall be as valid as if such person were still a director or an officer, as the case may be, of the Corporation at the date of issue.

Section 7.04 Replacement of Share Certificates:     The directors, or if designated by the directors the secretary of the Corporation, may prescribe either generally or in a particular case the conditions, in addition to those provided in the Act, upon which a new share certificate may be issued in place of any share certificate which is claimed to have been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, or which has become defaced.

Section 7.05 Transfer Agent:     From time to time the directors may appoint or remove a transfer agent to keep the securities register and the register of transfers, one or more persons or agents to keep branch registers, and a registrar to maintain a record, of issued security certificates and warrants of the Corporation. Subject to the Act, one person may be appointed for purposes of the foregoing in respect of all securities and warrants of the Corporation or in respect of any class or series thereof. In the event of any such appointment in respect of shares (or shares of any class or any series) of the Corporation, all share certificates issued by the Corporation in respect of such shares (or the shares of such class or series) of the Corporation shall be countersigned by or on behalf of one of the transfer agents or branch transfer agents and by or on behalf of one of the registrars or branch registrars, if any.

Section 7.06 Securities Registers:     The securities register and the register of transfers of the Corporation shall be kept at the registered office of the Corporation or at such other office or place in Canada as may from time to time be designed by the directors and a branch register or branch register of transfers may be kept at such office or offices of the Corporation or other place or places, either within or outside Canada, as may from time to time be designated by the directors. Such register or registers shall comply with the Act.

Section 7.07 Registration of Transfer:     No transfer of any shares of the Corporation need be recorded in the register of transfers except upon presentation of the share certificate representing such shares endorsed by the appropriate person in accordance with the Act, together with reasonable assurance that the endorsement is genuine and effective, and upon compliance with such restrictions on transfer, if any, as are contained in the articles of the Corporation.

Section 7.08 Dealings with Registered Shareholder:     Subject to the Act, the Corporation may treat the registered owner of a share of the Corporation as the person exclusively entitled to vote, to receive notices, to receive any dividend or other payment in respect of such share and otherwise to exercise all of the rights and powers of the holder of such share. The Corporation may, however, and where required by the Act shall, treat as the registered shareholder any executor, administrator, heir, legal



7






representative, guardian, committee, trustee, curator, tutor, liquidator or trustee in bankruptcy who furnishes appropriate evidence to the Corporation establishing his authority to exercise the rights relating to a share of the Corporation.

ARTICLE EIGHT
DIVIDENDS AND RIGHTS

Section 8.01 Dividends:     Subject to the Act and the articles of the Corporation, the directors may from time to time declare dividends payable to the shareholders of the Corporation according to their rights and interests in the Corporation. Dividends may be paid in money or property or by issuing fully paid shares of the Corporation or options or rights to acquire any such shares. The directors shall determine the value of any such property, shares, options or rights and such determination shall be conclusive evidence of the value thereof.

Section 8.02 Dividend Cheques: A dividend payable to any shareholder of the Corporation in money may be paid by cheque payable to, or to the order of, the shareholder and shall be mailed to the shareholder by prepaid mail addressed to the recorded address thereof unless such shareholder otherwise directs in writing. In the case of joint holders the cheque shall be made payable to, or to the order of, all of them, unless such joint holders otherwise direct in writing. The mailing of a cheque as aforesaid, unless not paid on presentation, shall discharge the liability of the Corporation for the dividend to the extent of the amount of the cheque plus the amount of any tax thereon which the Corporation has properly withheld. If any dividend cheque so sent is not received by the payee thereof, the Corporation shall issue to such payee a replacement cheque for a like amount on such reasonable terms as to indemnity, reimbursement of expenses and evidence of non-receipt and title as the directors or any person designated by the directors may require.

Section 8.03 Record Date for Dividends and Rights:     The directors may fix in advance a date, preceding by not more than 60 days the date for the payment of any dividend or the making of any distribution or for the issue of any warrant or other evidence of a right to acquire securities of the Corporation, as the record date for the determination of the persons entitled to receive payment of such dividend or distribution or to receive such right. In every such case only the persons who are holders of record of the applicable shares at the close of business on the date so fixed shall be entitled to receive payment of such dividend or distribution or to receive such right. Notice of any such record date fixed by the directors shall be given as and when required by the Act. Where no such record date is fixed by the directors, the record date for the determination of the persons entitled to receive payment of such dividend or distribution or to receive such right shall be the close of business on the day on which the directors pass the resolution relating thereto.

Section 9.13 Persons Entitled to Vote:     Without prejudice to any other right to vote, every shareholder of the Corporation recorded on the shareholder list prepared in accordance with section 9.05 of this by-law is entitled, at the meeting to which the list relates, to vote the shares of the Corporation shown thereon opposite the name of such shareholder. Where two or more persons hold a share or the same shares jointly, any one of them present or represented by proxy may, in the absence of the others, vote such share or shares but, if more than one of such persons is present or represented and vote, they shall vote such share or shares together as one or not vote such shares at all.

Section 9.14 Proxies:     Shareholders of the Corporation shall be entitled to vote in person or, if the shareholder is a body corporate, association or other unincorporated entity, by a representative authorized by a resolution of the directors of such body corporate, association or other unincorporated entity. Every shareholder of the Corporation, including a shareholder that is a body corporate, association or other unincorporated entity, entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders may by means of a proxy



9






appoint a proxyholder or alternate proxyholder, who need not be a shareholder of the Corporation, as the nominee thereof to attend and act at the meeting in the manner, to the extent and with the authority conferred by the proxy. Signatures on instruments of proxy need not be witnessed and may be printed, lithographed or otherwise reproduced thereon. The chairman of any meeting of shareholders shall determine the authenticity of all signatures on instruments of proxy, which determination shall be final and conclusive. The directors by resolution may also permit instruments of proxy for use at or in connection with any meeting of shareholders and, if so determined by the directors, any adjournment thereof, to be telecopied, telegraphed, telexed, cabled or e-mailed to the secretary or another officer of the Corporation or such other agent of the Corporation as the directors may determine from time to time prior to or at any meeting of shareholders, and, in such event, such instruments of proxy, if otherwise in order, shall be valid and any votes cast in accordance therewith shall be counted. The chairman of any meeting of shareholders may also in his discretion, unless otherwise determined by resolution of the directors, accept any telecopied, telegraphed, telexed, cabled or e-mailed communication as to the authority of anyone claiming to vote on behalf of, or to represent, a shareholder of the Corporation notwithstanding that no instrument of proxy conferring such authority has been lodged with the Corporation and any votes cast in accordance with such telecopied, telegraphed, telexed, cabled or e-mailed communication accepted by the chairman shall be valid and any votes cast in accordance therewith shall be counted. An instrument of proxy may be signed and delivered in blank and filled in afterwards by the chairman of the board, the president, the secretary or any assistant-secretary of the Corporation or by any other person designated by the directors. It shall not be necessary for an instrument of proxy to be dated or to have inserted therein the number of shares of the Corporation owned by the appointor thereunder. The directors may, at the expense of the Corporation, send out an instrument of proxy in which certain directors or officers of the Corporation or other persons are named, which may be accompanied by stamped envelopes for the return of such instruments of proxy, even if the directors so named vote the proxies in favour of their own election as directors. The directors may specify in the notice calling a meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation a time, not exceeding 48 hours (excluding Saturdays and holidays) preceding the time fixed for the meeting or any adjournment thereof, before which proxies must be deposited with the Corporation or an agent thereof. Unless otherwise determined by the chairman of the meeting, an instrument of proxy shall be acted upon only if, prior to the time so specified, it shall have been deposited with the Corporation or an agent thereof specified in such notice or, where no such time is specified in such notice, if it has been received by the secretary or another officer of the Corporation or the chairman of the meeting or any adjournment thereof before the time of voting on the particular matter. An instrument of proxy shall cease to be valid one year from the date thereof.

Section 9.15 Revocation of Proxies:     In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, an instrument of proxy may be revoked by an instrument in writing signed in the same manner as an instrument of proxy may be signed and deposited either at the registered office of the Corporation at any time up to and including the last day (excluding Saturdays and holidays) preceding the date of the meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof at which the instrument of proxy is to be used or with the chairman of such meeting or any adjournment thereof before the time of voting on the particular matter.

Section 9.16 Voting:     At each meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation every matter proposed for consideration by the shareholders of the Corporation shall be decided by a majority of the votes cast thereon, unless otherwise required by the Act, the articles or by-laws of the Corporation. In case of an equality of votes the chairman of the meeting shall not be entitled to a casting vote. Every matter submitted to a meeting of shareholders may be decided either by a show of hands or by ballot.

Section 9.17 Show of Hands:     At each meeting of shareholders voting shall be by a show of hands unless a ballot is required by the Act or is required or demanded as hereinafter provided. Upon a show of hands every person present and entitled to vote on the motion shall have one vote. Whenever a vote by show of hands has been taken upon a matter, unless a ballot thereon is so required or demanded and such requirement or demand is not withdrawn, a declaration by the chairman of the meeting that the vote upon the matter was carried or carried by a particular majority or not carried or not carried by a particular majority, and an entry to that effect in the minutes of the meeting, shall be prima facie evidence of the result of the vote without proof of the number or percentage of votes cast for or against the matter.

Section 9.18 Ballots:     On any matter proposed for consideration at a meeting of shareholders a ballot may be required by the chairman of the meeting or demanded by any person present and entitled to vote thereon, either before any vote by show of hands or after any vote by show of hands and prior to the declaration of the result of the vote by show of hands by the chairman of the meeting. If a ballot is so required or demanded and such requirement or demand is not withdrawn, a ballot upon the matter shall be taken in such manner as the chairman of the meeting shall direct. Subject to the articles of the Corporation, upon a ballot each person present shall be entitled to the number of votes specified in the articles of the Corporation in respect of each share of the Corporation which such person is entitled to vote at the meeting on the particular matter.

Section 9.19 Termination, Adjournment and Postponement: The chairman of a meeting of shareholders may terminate the meeting following the conclusion of all business which may properly come before the meeting. A meeting of shareholders may be adjourned only upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in respect of the shares present or represented in person or by proxy at the meeting. Any business may be brought before or dealt with at any adjourned meeting which may have been brought up or dealt with at the original meeting. If a meeting of shareholders is adjourned by one or more adjournments for an aggregate of less than 30 days, it is not necessary to give notice of the resumption of the meeting if the time and place for resuming the meeting are announced at the meeting which is adjourned. The directors may postpone any meeting of shareholders previously called by the directors. If a meeting of shareholders is adjourned by one or more adjournments for an aggregate of 30 days or more, notice of the resumption of the meeting shall be given in accordance with the Act.

Section 9.20 Procedure at Meetings:     The chairman of any meeting of shareholders shall determine the procedure thereat in all respects and his decision on all matters or things, including but without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, any question regarding the validity or invalidity of any instrument of proxy or ballot, shall be conclusive and binding upon all of the shareholders of the Corporation, except as otherwise specifically provided in the by-laws of the Corporation.

Section 9.21 One-Shareholder Meeting:     Where all of the outstanding shares of any class or series of shares of the Corporation are held by one shareholder, that shareholder present in person or by proxyholder or by authorized representative shall constitute a meeting of the holders of that class or series of shares of the Corporation.

Section 9.22 Meetings by Telephonic, Electronic or Other Communication Facility:     Meetings of shareholders may be held entirely by means of a telephonic, electronic or other communication facility that permits all participants to communicate adequately with each other during the meeting if so determined by the directors or by the shareholders who called the particular meeting of shareholders. Any person entitled to attend a meeting of shareholders may participate in such a meeting by means of a telephonic, electronic or other communication facility that permits all participants to communicate adequately with each other if the Corporation makes available such a communication facility and any person participating in a meeting by such means shall be deemed to be present at the meeting. Any vote at such a meeting may, but is not required to, be held entirely by means of a telephonic, electronic or other communication facility that the Corporation has made available for that purpose.

Section 9.23 Signed Resolutions:     Subject to the Act, a resolution in writing signed by all of the shareholders of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon at a meeting of shareholders is as valid as if passed at a meeting and a resolution in writing dealing with all of the matters required by the Act to be dealt with at a meeting of shareholders and signed by all of the shareholders of the Corporation entitled to vote thereat satisfies all of the requirements of the Act relating to that meeting. Any such resolution may be signed in counterparts and if signed as of any date shall be deemed to have been passed on such date.

If so mailed, the notice or document shall be deemed to have been received by the addressee on the fifth day after mailing. If notices or documents so mailed to a shareholder are returned on two consecutive occasions because such shareholder cannot be found, the Corporation need not send, or cause to be sent, any further notices or documents to such shareholder until such shareholder informs the Corporation in writing of the new address. If the address of any shareholder of the Corporation does not appear in the records of the Corporation, then any notice or document may be mailed to such address as the person sending the notice or document may consider to be the most likely address at which such notice or document will promptly reach such shareholder.

A notice or document so mailed or sent shall be deemed to have been received by the addressee when deposited in a post office or public letter box, if mailed, or when transmitted by the Corporation on its equipment or delivered to the appropriate communication agency or its representative for dispatch, as the case may be, if sent by telecopier, telegram, telex, cable, e-mail or other means of legible communication.

Section 10.03 Changes in Recorded Address:     The secretary or any other officer of the Corporation may change the address recorded in the records of the Corporation of any person in accordance with any information such person believes to be reliable.

Section 10.05 Omissions and Errors:     The accidental omission to give any notice to any person, or the non-receipt of any notice by any person or any immaterial error in any notice, shall not invalidate any action taken at any meeting held pursuant to such notice or otherwise founded thereon.

Section 10.06 Unregistered Shareholders:     Subject to the Act, every person who becomes entitled to any security of the Corporation shall be bound by every notice in respect of such security which was given to any previous holder thereof prior to the name and address of such person being entered on the securities register of the Corporation.

Section 10.07 Waiver of Notice:     Any person entitled to attend a meeting of shareholders or a meeting of the directors or a committee thereof may in any manner and at any time waive notice thereof, and attendance of any shareholder or the proxyholder



11






or authorized representative thereof or of any other person at any meeting is a waiver of notice thereof by such shareholder or other person except where the attendance is for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting is not lawfully called. In addition, where any notice or document is required to be given under the articles or by-laws of the Corporation or the Act, the notice may be waived or the time for sending the notice or document may be waived or abridged at any time with the consent in writing of the person entitled thereto. Any meeting may be held without notice or on shorter notice than that provided for in the by-laws of the Corporation if all persons not receiving the notice to which they are entitled waive notice of or accept short notice of the holding of such meeting.

ARTICLE ELEVEN
DIVISIONS

Section 11.01 Authority to Create Divisions:     The directors may cause the business and operations of the Corporation or any part thereof to be divided into one or more divisions based upon character or type of operation, geographical territory, product, method of distribution, type of product or products manufactured or distributed or upon such other basis of division as the directors may determine from time to time. In particular, the directors may authorize:

  (a)   the further division of the business and operations of any such division into sub-units and the consolidation of the business and operations of any such divisions or sub-units; and

  (b)   the designation of any such division or sub-unit by, and the carrying on of the business and operations of any such division or sub-unit under, a name other than the name of the Corporation.

Section 11.02 Designation and Appointment of Divisional Officers:     The directors may, by resolution, designate and appoint divisional officers assigned to a particular division or a sub-unit of that division provided that any such divisional officer shall not, as such, be an officer of the Corporation. Such appointed divisional officers shall be subject to removal by resolution of the directors at any time, with or without cause, without prejudice to the rights of such person under any employment contract or in law. For certainty, the removal of a divisional officer from his position as a divisional officer shall not of itself constitute a termination of the employment of that person with the Corporation.

Section 11.03 Duties and Authority of Divisional Officers:     The duties, responsibilities, limitations and remuneration of each divisional officer shall be such as are determined from time to time by the directors or by the person or persons or committee or committees designated by the directors as having responsibility for the division to which such divisional officer has been appointed. The authority of each such divisional officer shall, however, be limited to acts and transactions relating only to the business and operations which such division is authorized to transact and perform, provided, however, that if the same person is also an officer of the Corporation, the foregoing shall not limit the authority of such person in his capacity as an officer of the Corporation.

Such repeal shall not affect the previous operations of any by-law so repealed or affect the validity of any act done or right, privilege, obligation or liability acquired or incurred under, or the validity of any contract or agreement made pursuant to, or the validity of any articles or predecessor charter documents of the Corporation obtained pursuant to, any such by-law prior to its repeal. All officers and persons acting under any by-law so repealed shall continue to act is if appointed under the provisions of this by-law and all resolutions of the shareholders or the directors or a committee of the directors with continuing effect passed under any repealed by-law shall continue good and valid except to the extent inconsistent with this by-law and until amended or repealed.
