INFORMATION CIRCULAR

(As at January 13, 2023, except as indicated)

GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

This Information Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of TRX Gold Corporation (the "Corporation") for use at the annual general and special meeting (the "Meeting") of the shareholders of the Corporation ("Shareholders") to be held on Thursday, February 23, 2023 and at any adjournment(s) thereof. The solicitation will be conducted by mail and may be supplemented by telephone or other personal contact to be made without special compensation by senior officers and employees of the Corporation. Brokers, nominees or other persons holding shares in their names for others shall be reimbursed for their reasonable charges and expenses of forwarding proxies and proxy material to the beneficial owner of such shares. The cost of solicitation will be borne by the Corporation. The Corporation has engaged Kingsdale Advisors as its strategic shareholder advisor and proxy solicitation agent and will pay fees of approximately $55,000 to Kingsdale for proxy solicitation services in addition to certain out-of-pocket expenses. The Corporation may also reimburse brokers and other persons holding Common Shares in their name or in the name of nominees for their costs incurred in sending proxy material to their principals in order to obtain their proxies.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXY

Registered Shareholders

The persons named as proxy holders (the "Designated Persons") in the enclosed form of proxy are directors or senior officers of the Corporation. A Shareholder has the right to appoint a person or entity (who need not be a Shareholder) to attend and act for him/her on his/her behalf at the meeting other than the Designated Persons in the accompanying form of proxy. To exercise this right the Shareholder may insert the name of the desired person in the blank space provided in the proxy and strike out the other names or may submit another proxy.

In order to be voted, the completed instrument of proxy must be deposited at the office of the registrar and transfer agent of the Corporation, Odyssey Trust Company (the "Transfer Agent") at its offices at Proxy Dept., 409 Granville Street, Suite 350, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 1T2, not less than 48 hours, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays excepted, prior to the time of the holding of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Alternatively, the completed form of proxy may be deposited with the Chair of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof. The time limit for deposit of proxies may be waived or extended by the Chair of the Meeting at his or her discretion, without notice.

A proxy may not be valid unless it is dated and signed by the Shareholder who is giving it or by that Shareholder's attorney-in-fact duly authorized by that Shareholder in writing or, in the case of a corporation, dated and executed by a duly authorized officer, or attorney-in-fact, for the corporation. If a form of proxy is executed by an attorney-in-fact for an individual Shareholder or joint Shareholders or by an officer or attorney-in-fact for a corporate Shareholder, the instrument so empowering the officer or attorney-in-fact, as the case may be, or a notarially certified copy thereof, should accompany the form of proxy.

A registered Shareholder may revoke a proxy by:

(a)	signing a proxy with a later date and delivering it at the place and within the time noted above;

(b)

signing and dating a written notice of revocation (in the same manner as the proxy is required to be executed, as set out in the notes to the proxy) and delivering it to the Transfer Agent, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof at which the proxy is to be used, or to the Chair of the Meeting prior to the Meeting 's commencement on the date of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof,

(c)	attending the Meeting or any adjournment thereof and registering with the scrutineer as a Shareholder present in person, whereupon such proxy shall be deemed to have been revoked; or

(d)	any other manner provided by law.

Beneficial Shareholders

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many Shareholders, as many Shareholders do not hold their shares in the Corporation in their own name. Shareholders holding their shares through banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers, trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSP's, RRIF's, RESP's and similar plans or other persons (any one of which is herein referred to as an "Intermediary") or otherwise not in their own name (such Shareholders herein referred to as "Beneficial Shareholders") should note that only proxies deposited by Shareholders appearing on the records maintained by the Corporation's Transfer Agent as registered Shareholders will be recognized and allowed to vote at the Meeting. If a Shareholder's shares are listed in an account statement provided to the Shareholder by a broker, in all likelihood those shares are not registered in the Shareholder's name and that Shareholder is a Beneficial Shareholder. Such shares are most likely registered in the name of the Shareholder's broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co., the registration name for The Canadian Depository for Securities, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms. Shares held by brokers (or their agents or nominees) on behalf of a broker's client can only be voted at the Meeting at the direction of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, brokers and their agents and nominees are prohibited from voting shares for the broker's clients. Therefore, each Beneficial Shareholder should ensure that voting instructions are communicated to the appropriate party well in advance of the Meeting.

Regulatory policies require Intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholder meetings. Beneficial Shareholders have the option of not objecting to their Intermediary disclosing certain ownership information about themselves to the Corporation (such Beneficial Shareholders are designated as non-objecting beneficial owners, or "NOBOs") or objecting to their Intermediary disclosing ownership information about themselves to the Corporation (such Beneficial Shareholders are designated as objecting beneficial owners, or "OBOs").

In accordance with securities regulatory policy, the Corporation is not sending the Meeting materials directly to NOBOs in connection with the Meeting, but rather has distributed copies of the Meeting materials, being the Notice of Meeting, this Information Circular and the Proxy, to the Intermediaries for distribution to Beneficial Shareholders, unless a Beneficial Shareholder has waived the right to receive them.

The Corporation does not intend to pay for Intermediaries to deliver the Meeting materials and Form 54-101F7 -Request for Voting Instructions Made by Intermediary to OBOs. As a result, OBOs will not receive the Meeting materials unless their Intermediary assumes the costs of delivery.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting materials to Beneficial Shareholders to seek their voting instructions in advance of the Meeting. Shares held by Intermediaries can only be voted in accordance with the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholders. The Intermediaries often have their own form of proxy, mailing procedures and provide their own return instructions. If you wish to vote by proxy, you should carefully follow the instructions from the Intermediary in order that your shares are voted at the Meeting.

The majority of Intermediaries now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from Beneficial Shareholders to Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions ("Broadridge") in Canada. Broadridge typically prepares a machine-readable voting instruction form ("VIF"), mails these VIFs to Beneficial Shareholders and asks Beneficial Shareholders to return the VIFs to Broadridge, usually by way of mail, the Internet or telephone. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of shares to be represented at the Meeting by proxies for which Broadridge has solicited voting instructions. A Beneficial Shareholder who receives a Broadridge VIF cannot use that form to vote shares directly at the Meeting. The VIF must be returned to Broadridge (or instructions respecting the voting of shares must otherwise be communicated to Broadridge) well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the shares voted. If you have any questions respecting the voting of shares held through an Intermediary, please contact that Intermediary for assistance.

The purpose of this procedure is to permit Beneficial Shareholders to direct the voting of the shares which they beneficially own. A Beneficial Shareholder receiving a VIF cannot use that form to vote common shares directly at the Meeting - Beneficial Shareholders should carefully follow the instructions set out in the VIF including those regarding when and where the VIF is to be delivered. Should a Beneficial Shareholder who receives a VIF wish to attend the Meeting or have someone else attend on their behalf, the Beneficial Shareholder may request a legal proxy as set forth in the VIF, which will grant the Beneficial Shareholder or their nominee the right to attend and vote at the Meeting.

Only registered Shareholders have the right to revoke a proxy. A Beneficial Shareholder who wishes to change its vote must, at least seven days before the Meeting, arrange for its Intermediary to revoke its VIF on its behalf.

All references to Shareholders in this Information Circular and the accompanying instrument of proxy and notice of Meeting are to registered Shareholders unless specifically stated otherwise.

If you have any questions regarding the Meeting or voting at the Meeting, please contact your broker or intermediary or the Corporation's strategic shareholder advisor and proxy solicitation agent, Kingsdale Advisors, at 1.888.302.5677 (toll free in North America), or at 1.416.867.2272 (collect outside North America), or by email at [email protected]

Voting of Common Shares and Proxies and

Exercise of Discretion by Designated Persons

Only Shareholders of record as at the close of business on January 13, 2023 (the "Record Date") who have completed and delivered a form of proxy in the manner and subject to the provisions described under the heading "Appointment of Proxies" shall be entitled to vote, or have their common shares voted, at the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof. On any poll, each Shareholder of record holding common shares of the Corporation on the Record Date is entitled to one vote for each common share registered in his or her name on the list of Shareholders as at the Record Date.

A Shareholder may indicate the manner in which the Designated Persons are to vote with respect to a matter to be voted upon at the Meeting by marking the appropriate space on the proxy. If the instructions as to voting indicated in the proxy are certain, the Common Shares represented by the proxy will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions given in the proxy. If the Shareholder specifies a choice in the proxy with respect to a matter to be acted upon, then the Common Shares represented will be voted or withheld from the vote on that matter accordingly. The Common Shares represented by a proxy will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholder on any ballot that may be called for and if the Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Common Shares will be voted accordingly.

If no choice is specified in the proxy with respect to a matter to be acted upon and the Shareholder has appointed one of the Designated Persons named in the form of proxy, the proxy confers discretionary authority with respect to that matter upon the Designated Persons named in the form of proxy and it is intended that the Designated Persons will vote the Common Shares represented by such proxy in favour of all matters identified in the proxy, including the appointment of the auditors, the setting of the number of directors at six and the election of the nominees to the Corporation's Board of Directors (the "Board"), amending the articles of incorporation and any other matters proposed by management at the Meeting.

The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting, including any amendments or variations to any matters identified in the Notice, and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the date of this Information Circular, management of the Corporation is not aware of any such amendments, variations, or other matters to come before the Meeting.

In the case of abstentions from, or withholding of, the voting of the Common Shares on any matter, the Common Shares that are the subject of the abstention or withholding will be counted for the determination of a quorum, but will not be counted as affirmative or negative on the matter to be voted upon.

The Corporation may utilize the Broadridge QuickVote^TM system, which involves NOBOs being contacted by Kingsdale, which is soliciting proxies on behalf of Management, to obtain voting instructions over the telephone and relaying them to Broadridge (on behalf of the NOBO's Intermediary). While representatives of Kingsdale are soliciting proxies on behalf of Management, Shareholders are not required to vote in the manner recommended by the Board of Directors. The QuickVote^TM system is intended to assist Shareholders in placing their votes, however, there is no obligation for any Shareholders to vote using the QuickVote^TM system, and Shareholders may vote (or change or revoke their votes) at any other time and in any other applicable manner described in this Circular. Any voting instructions provided by a Shareholder will be recorded and such Shareholder will receive a letter from Broadridge (on behalf of the Shareholder's Intermediary) as confirmation that their voting instructions have been accepted.

NOTICE AND ACCESS

The Corporation has elected to use the notice-and-access provisions ("Notice-and-Access Provisions") provided for under National Instrument 54-101 Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer for the Meeting in respect of mailings to registered holders and beneficial holders of Common Shares. The Notice-and-Access Provisions are a set of rules developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that reduce the volume of materials that are mailed to shareholders by allowing a reporting issuer to post an information circular in respect of a meeting of its shareholders and related materials online.

Registered holders and beneficial holders of Common Shares will receive a notice containing information prescribed by the Notice-and-Access Provisions and a voting instruction form. In addition, paper copies of the Notice of the Meeting, this Information Circular, a form of proxy and the financial information in respect of our most recently completed financial year (the "Meeting Materials"), will be mailed to those shareholders who do not hold their Common Shares in their own name but who have previously requested to receive paper copies of these materials.

The Meeting Materials will be available electronically at https://odysseytrust.com/client/trxgold/ as of January 24, 2023 and will remain on the website for one (1) full year thereafter. The Meeting Materials will also be available on the Canadian Securities Administrators System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval website ("SEDAR") at www.sedar.com.

Shareholders who wish to receive paper copies of the Meeting Materials may request copies from the Corporation by calling toll-free at 1-888-290-1175 within North America or outside of North America at 1-587-885-0960 or by sending an email to [email protected]. Meeting Materials will be sent to such shareholders and to shareholders requesting paper copies of the Meeting Materials by any other means at no cost to them, within three (3) business days of the Corporation receiving their request, if such requests are made before the date of the Meeting, including any adjournment thereof, and within 10 calendar days of the Corporation receiving their request, if such requests are made on or after the date of the Meeting and within one (1) calendar year of the Meeting Materials being filed online.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Except as set out herein, no director or executive officer of the Corporation, or any associate or affiliate of the foregoing persons has any substantial interest direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership or otherwise in matters to be acted upon at the Meeting.

VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

The Corporation is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares (the "Common Shares", "Shares", "common shares" or "shares"), of which 276,711,205 Common Shares are issued and outstanding. Each Common Share entitles the holder thereof to one vote in respect of the matters to be considered at the Meeting. The holders of Common Shares of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting, except to the extent that:

(i)	a shareholder has transferred the ownership of any shares after January 13, 2023, and

(ii)

the transferee of those shares produces properly endorsed share certificates, or otherwise establishes that the transferee owns the shares and demands, not later than 10 days before the Meeting, that the transferee's name be included in the list of shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting, in which case the transferee shall be entitled to vote such shares at the Meeting.

The by-laws of the Corporation provide that a quorum at any meeting of Shareholders shall be persons present not being less than two in number and who hold or represent not less than 20% of the total number of the issued shares of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting.

To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Corporation, there are no shareholders who beneficially own directly or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all shares of the Corporation.

MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON AT THE MEETING

TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE CORPORATION'S DIRECTORS, THE ONLY MATTERS TO BE PLACED BEFORE THE MEETING ARE THOSE REFERRED TO IN THE NOTICE OF MEETING ACCOMPANYING THIS INFORMATION CIRCULAR. HOWEVER, SHOULD ANY OTHER MATTERS PROPERLY COME BEFORE THE MEETING, THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THE PROXY SOLICITED HEREBY WILL BE VOTED ON SUCH MATTERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BEST JUDGMENT OF THE PERSONS VOTING THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THE PROXY.

Additional detail regarding each of the matters to be acted upon at the Meeting is set forth below.

1. Financial Statements

The audited financial statements of the Corporation for the year ended August 31, 2022, together with the auditors' report thereon (the "Financial Statements"), will be presented to the shareholders at the Meeting. Shareholders should note that in accordance with the rules of National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations, shareholders will not automatically receive copies of financial statements unless a financial statement request card (in the form enclosed herewith) has been completed and returned as instructed. Copies of all previously issued annual and quarterly financial statements and related Management's Discussion & Analysis are available to the public under the Corporation's profile on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com.

2. Appointment of Auditors

At the Meeting, the Shareholders will be asked to vote for the appointment of Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton Labonte LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, of Vancouver, British Columbia, as auditors for the Corporation for the ensuing year and to authorize the directors to fix the auditors' remuneration.

The shares represented by proxy will be voted FOR the resolution to appoint Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton Labonte LLP, Chartered Accountants, as auditors of the Corporation for the ensuing year, at a remuneration to be fixed by the Board, unless the Shareholder has specified in the form of proxy that the Shareholder's Common Shares are to be withheld from voting on the appointment of auditors.

3. Set Numbers of Directors

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to pass an ordinary resolution to set the number of directors of the Corporation at six. The number of directors will be approved if the affirmative vote of at least a majority of Common Shares present or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote thereat are voted in favour of setting the number of directors at six.

The shares represented by proxy will be voted FOR the resolution to set the number of directors at six, unless the Shareholder has specified in the instrument of proxy that the Shareholder's Common Shares are to be voted against the resolution.

4. Election of Directors

Majority Voting

The Corporation has adopted a majority voting policy for directors for uncontested meetings. The Board believes that each director should have the confidence and support of the shareholders of the Corporation. To this end, the Board has unanimously adopted a Majority Voting Policy for directors of uncontested meetings.

If in respect to any individual director nominee, the number of shares withheld from voting is greater than the number of shares voted in favour of such individual nominee, the nominee will be considered by the Board not to have received the support of the shareholders, even though duly elected as a matter of corporate law. Such a nominee will forthwith submit his or her resignation to the Board to take effect on acceptance by the Board. The Board will promptly refer the resignation to the Nominating Committee for consideration. The Nominating Committee shall consider the matter and make a recommendation to the full board and the Board will determine whether or not to accept the tendered resignation within 90 days of the shareholders' meeting. The director tendering his or her resignation will not participate in any meetings of the Committee or the Board which considers the resignation.

The Board currently consists of seven directors, all of whom are elected annually. The term of office for each of the current directors of the Corporation expires at the Meeting. The Board has determined to nominate six of the current directors for re-election: Stephen Mullowney, James Sinclair, Dr. Norman Betts, Andrew Cheatle, Shubo Rakhit, and Richard Steinberg. Dr. William Harvey will not be standing for re-election.

The six persons described below have been nominated and will be proposed at the Meeting for election as directors of the Corporation to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders of the Corporation or until their successors are elected or appointed. It is the intention of the Designated Persons to vote FOR the resolution electing the nominees outlined below as directors of the Corporation for the ensuing year, at a remuneration to be fixed by the Board, unless the Shareholder has specified in the instrument of proxy that the Shareholder's Common Shares are to be withheld from voting on the election of such directors.

If, prior to the Meeting, any vacancies occur in the slate of proposed nominees herein submitted, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote FOR the election of any substitute nominee or nominees recommended by the management of the Corporation and for the remaining proposed nominees. Management has been informed that each of the proposed nominees listed below is willing to serve as director if elected.

Corporate Cease Trade Orders or Bankruptcies

Within the ten years prior to the date of this Information Circular, other than as set forth below, no director or proposed director of the Corporation is, or has been, a director or executive officer of any company, including the Corporation, that while that person was acting in that capacity:

·	was the subject of a cease trade order or similar order or an order that denied the company access to any exemption under securities legislation for a period of more than 30 consecutive days; or

·

was subject to an event that resulted, after the director ceased to be a director or executive officer of the company being the subject of a cease trade order or similar order or an order that denied the relevant company access to any exemption under securities legislation, for a period of more than 30 consecutive days; or

·

within a year of that person ceasing to act in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets.

On March 7, 2013, Starfield Resources Inc. ("Starfield") filed a notice of intention to make a proposal to its creditors while it undertook a sale and investment solicitation process in respect of its assets, undertakings and properties. Starfield was delisted from the TSX for failure to meet continued listing requirements on April 18, 2013. Norman Betts was a director of Starfield at that time.

Individual Bankruptcies

Within the ten years prior to the date of this Information Circular, no director of the Corporation has become bankrupt or made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or been subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors, or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold the assets of that individual.

Penalties or Sanctions

Within the past ten years no proposed director of the Corporation has been subject to any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority or has entered into a settlement agreement with a securities regulatory authority, or has been subject to any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body that would likely be considered important to a reasonable security holder in deciding whether to vote for a proposed director.

5. Approval to Amend the Articles of Incorporation

Management of the Corporation intends to place before the Meeting, for approval, confirmation and adoption, with or without variation, a special resolution (the "Amendment Resolution") to amend the Articles of the Corporation to change part "(c)" of the attached Schedule to the Articles of the Corporation "Other Rules or Provisions (if any)", that currently restricts general meetings of the shareholders held outside Alberta to either Vancouver, British Columbia or Toronto, Ontario, to now allow the Board of Directors, in their sole discretion, to determine the location and manner of any meeting of shareholders going forward. The complete text of the Amendment Resolution which management intends to place before the Meeting for approval, confirmation and adoption, with or without variation, is set forth below.

Amendment Resolution

"BE IT RESOLVED, as a special resolution of the shareholders of TRX Gold Corporation (the "Corporation"), that:

1.	pursuant to Section 173(1)(b) of the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), the Articles of the Corporation be amended by changing part "(c)" of the attached Schedule to the Articles of the Corporation "Other Rules or Provisions (if any)" as follows:

"(c) Meetings of the shareholders may be held in any location or manner as determined by the Board of Directors from time to time.";

2.

any one director or officer of the Corporation is hereby authorized and directed to do all things and to execute all instruments, documents, articles of amendment or restated articles of incorporation as in their opinion may be necessary or desirable in order to give effect to this special resolution including but without limitation any restatement of the Articles of the Corporation; and

3.	notwithstanding the approval of the shareholders of the Corporation as herein provided, the board of directors of the Corporation may, in their sole discretion, revoke this special resolution before it is acted upon, without further approval of the shareholders of the Corporation."

In order to be passed, the Amendment Resolution requires the affirmative vote of a 2/3 majority of the votes cast at the Meeting.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the approval of the special Amendment Resolution as set forth above. The persons named in the form of proxy, unless expressly directed to the contrary in such form of proxy, will vote such proxies FOR the Amendment Resolution to approve the amendment to the Articles of the Corporation.

Key Highlights of the Corporation's Executive and Director Compensation Programs

Provided below are highlights of the Corporation's executive and director compensation programs that have been put in place moving forward to ensure good governance:

·	Pay for performance - The vast majority of NEO compensation is tied to "at risk" pay in the form of annual incentives and long-term Incentives (namely stock options and shares). For the four current NEOs, approximately 71% of target compensation is tied to Incentive compensation.

·

Regular review of peer group - The Compensation Committee regularly reviews the applicability of the compensation peer group for NEOs annually and adjusts the peer group, as necessary, to ensure it remains relevant and comparable with the ever-evolving size and scope of the Corporation's operations.

·

Relevant performance metrics - The performance metrics and expected performance levels for the annual incentive plan is reviewed on an annual basis to ensure the metrics and expected performance focus the NEOs on relevant activities for the business and tie payouts to positive performance for the Corporation's shareholders.

·

Threshold performance expectations before incentive payouts are made - Threshold performance expectations are set to make sure that a minimum level of performance is achieved against annual incentive performance metrics before payouts can be made for that metric. If threshold performance is not achieved under the annual incentive performance metrics, then there is the possibility for no annual incentive to be paid. Stock option grants, due to the requirement for the Corporation's share price to exceed the exercise price on grant date for value to be earned upon exercise, also act as a minimum performance expectation in the long run. Share grants and RSUs also fluctuate in value for NEOs in-line with the performance of the Corporation's shares.

·	Targets on incentive payouts - Annual incentive payouts are targeted at 100% - 200% for each NEO to ensure affordability for the Corporation.

·	Modest benefits - Benefits are set at competitive levels, but represent a small part of total NEO compensation.

·	Reasonable Termination without Cause severance obligations - NEO severance obligations are capped at no higher than 12 months in the case of termination without cause which falls within acceptable market norms.

·	Double Trigger Change of Control provisions - Change of control provisions in the Corporation's employment agreements only trigger when there is both a change in control of the Corporation and a subsequent termination of employment (either by the new employer or the executive for Good Reason).

·

Independent Advice on compensation levels and structure - The Compensation Committee has engaged with Global Governance Advisors since 2021 to support the Committee in making decisions regarding executive and Board compensation at the Corporation (see "Compensation Discussion and Analysis - Compensation Review Process" for more information).

·	Review of compensation risk - The Compensation Committee monitors the risk inherent within its compensation program to ensure the program does not encourage excessive risk-taking.

·	"Anti-hedging" policy - The Corporation has a policy that prohibits hedging and derivative trading for NEOs and non-employee directors.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The adequacy and form of director and officer compensation has historically been reviewed on an annual basis by the Audit and Risk Management Committee as no standalone Compensation Committee had been in place. During Fiscal Year 2022, this responsibility was transferred the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of the Corporation. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee recommends to the Board any adjustments to the compensation payable to directors, officers, and senior staff. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is comprised of three directors: Shubo Rakhit (Chair), Norman Betts and William Harvey all of whom are independent for the purposes of National Instrument 58-101 - Corporate Governance. Subsequent to the Meeting, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will be comprised of three directors: Shubo Rakhit (Chair), Norman Betts and Richard Steinberg all of whom are independent for the purposes of National Instrument 58-101 - Corporate Governance.

The Board of Directors created a special committee on compensation comprised of Norman Betts and Shubo Rakhit in the first quarter of the Corporation's 2022 Fiscal Year, to complete a comprehensive review of the Corporation's compensation model to guide the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Corporation's compensation governance going forward. The special committee on compensation engaged Global Governance Advisors ("GGA"), an independent compensation advisor with significant global executive and director compensation experience, to review and provide recommendations to the special committee regarding the Corporation's executive and non-employee director's compensation philosophy, peer group and compensation plan designs.

Overall, the members of the special committee on compensation, with the assistance of GGA, had the necessary experience to enable them to make decisions on the suitability of the Corporation's compensation policies or practices during the Corporation's 2022 Fiscal Year.

During the 2022 Fiscal Year, TRX worked with GGA to develop a formalized compensation philosophy for the Corporation that would aid the Corporation in determining appropriate compensation for both its executives as well as non-employee directors.

The goal of the executive compensation philosophy at TRX is to attract, motivate, retain and reward a knowledgeable and driven management team and to encourage them to attain and exceed performance expectations.

TRX's compensation practices are based on a pay-for-performance philosophy in which assessment of performance is based on the Corporation's financial and operational performance as well as individual contributions.

The compensation program is designed to reward each executive based on corporate and individual performance and is also designed to incent such executives to drive the organization's growth in a sustainable and prudent way.

The following key principles guide the Corporation's overall compensation philosophy:

•	Attract, retain, motivate and engage high caliber talent whose expertise, skills and performance are critical to the Corporation's success;

•	Align executive interests with the business objectives of TRX;

•	Focus executives on the key business factors that will drive shareholder value;

•	Align compensation with TRX's corporate strategy and financial interests as well as the long-term interests of TRX shareholders; and,

•	Compensation should be fair and reasonable to shareholders and be set with reference to the local market and similar positions in comparable companies.

During Fiscal Year 2022, the special committee on compensation worked with GGA to evaluate and provide recommendations on formalizing the Corporation's executive and director compensation programs to be market-competitive among a defined "Peer Group" (as detailed below) and in the overall mining marketplace. This review included analysis of the Corporation's Peer Group for the purpose of evaluating total direct compensation (base salary plus short-term incentive and long-term incentive) levels and high-level analysis of the Corporation's short and long-term design practices relative to the Peer Group and broader competitive market. The Corporation's Peer Group is reviewed periodically to generally ensure it remains aligned with the current size and scope of the Corporation's operations, and is based on companies that generally meet the following criteria:

•	Companies with a market cap range between 0.25x and 4x the size of TRX, but also considering other factors such as Total Assets and Expected Revenues at TRX;

•	Companies with operations in similar geographical locations to TRX to account for geographic risk;

•	Companies primarily mining for gold/silver or other precious metals;

•	Companies with a similar business strategy and scope of operations to TRX to take into account the complexity of the project; and

•	Publicly traded companies on major North American or similar exchanges.

The Corporation's 2022 Peer Group consisted of the following companies:

• Bluestone Resources Ltd.	• Mako Mining Corp.	• Robex Resources Inc.
• Bunker Hill Mining Corp.	• Orca Gold Inc.	• Sabina Gold & Silver Corp.
• Caledonia Mining Corporation PLC	• Orecorp Ltd.	• Shanta Gold Ltd.
• Galane Gold Ltd.	• Orezone Gold Corp.	• Superior Gold Inc.
• Galiano Gold Inc.	• Pure Gold Mining Inc.	• Troilus Gold Corp.

GGA completed a compensation review for the Corporation's executives and non-employee directors in the spring of 2022, which took into account TRX's state of operations at that time. The Peer Group is intended to evolve over time as the nature of TRX's operations change and operations at its Buckreef Mine grow and stabilize.

The Corporation's compensation program seeks to reward an executive officer's current and future expected performance. Individual performance is reviewed for all executive officers based largely on a quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the Corporation's achievement of corporate milestones and objectives.

Hedging Policy

The Corporation's NEOs and directors are not permitted to purchase financial instruments, including for greater certainty, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars or units of exchange funds that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the NEO or director.

Neither the NEOs nor the directors are permitted to purchase financial instruments that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the NEOs or directors, including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars or units of exchange funds.

Compensation Review Process

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is tasked with the responsibility of, among other things, recommending to the Board, compensation policies and guidelines for the Corporation and for implementing and overseeing compensation policies approved by the Board. It reviews on an annual basis the cash compensation, performance and overall compensation package of each executive officer, including the Named Executive Officers. It then submits to the Board recommendations for each executive officer with respect to base salary, short-term incentives, and participation in equity compensation arrangements such as the Omnibus Equity Plan.

Specifically in Fiscal Year 2022, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee's special committee on compensation was assisted in this by an external compensation consultant (GGA) who performed a benchmarking comparison with a group of peer companies, and provided recommendations and guidance to the special committee on compensation in setting appropriate levels of remuneration and in creating an appropriate compensation structure for the Named Executive Officers within the corporation. Additionally, in assessing compensation levels, the special committee on compensation relied on the experience of their members as officers, directors and auditors of other publicly traded mineral exploration and development companies. The purpose of this assessment process was to:

•	understand the competitiveness of current pay levels for each executive position relative to companies with similar business characteristics;

•	identify and understand any gaps that may exist between the Corporation's compensation levels and compensation paid by other companies as well as any differences in compensation structure; and

•	establish a basis for developing salary adjustments and short-term and long-term incentive awards.

The results of the review indicated that mostly minor adjustments were required to base salaries and short-term incentive levels for the NEOs (with the exception of the CFO) as total cash compensation was generally market competitive. However, a market competitive grant of equity compensation needed to be made to tie executives to the long-term performance of TRX's shares and reflect the complexity involved in managing TRX's operations at Buckreef. A change in structure to the short-term incentive plan design was also recommended to move towards a leveraged payout curve with a communicated target short-term incentive opportunity level and ability to earn up to 200% of target in the case of superior performance.

Ultimately, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considered the implications of the risks associated with the Corporation's compensation policies and practices and concluded that, given the nature of the Corporation's business and the role of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (specifically the special committee on compensation) in overseeing the Corporation's executive compensation practices, the compensation policies and practices do not serve to encourage any Named Executive Officer to take inappropriate or excessive risks, and no risks were identified arising from the Corporation's compensation policies and practices that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation.

Use of Consultants

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is required to pre-approve any compensation related engagements with independent third parties, such as GGA. Although management of the Corporation may work with GGA on compensation specifics, GGA reports directly to the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee in all engagements undertaken. The Corporation incurred the following fees for GGA's work in Fiscal Year 2022:

Fiscal Year	Executive Compensation Related Fees	All Other Fees
2022	C$39,500	C$0
2021	C$0	C$0

During Fiscal Year 2022, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee formed a special committee of independent directors, comprised of Norman Betts and Shubo Rakhit, to complete a comprehensive review of compensation. The special committee engaged GGA to review the Corporation's compensation philosophy and peer group as well as provide a comprehensive compensation benchmark analysis for its top four executives and non-employee directors against the approved peer group. This included analysis of competitive compensation levels, but also the short and long-term incentive plan designs at the Corporation and its peers. In addition, GGA assisted TRX with compensation-related disclosure within the Corporation's annual Form 20-F and Management Information Circular for Fiscal Year 2021.

Effective July 13, 2022, a new Compensation Committee charter was approved. Since that date, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee assumed the Compensation Committee mandate. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will continue to assess the need for a separate Compensation Committee based on the needs of the Corporation.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is currently comprised of Shubo Rakhit (Chair), Norman Betts, and William Harvey, all of whom are independent. Subsequent to the Meeting, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will be comprised of the following directors of the Corporation:

Shubo Rakhit (Chair)	Independent (1)
Norman Betts	Independent (1)
Richard Steinberg	Independent (1)

(1)	A member of a committee is independent if the member has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Corporation, which could, in the view of the Board, reasonably interfere with the exercise of a member's independent judgment.

Elements of Executive Compensation Program

During Fiscal Year 2022, the Corporation's compensation program was comprised of four (4) components:

1.	base salary;

2.	short-term incentive;

3.	equity compensation through the Omnibus Equity Plan; and

4.	employee benefits.

Component	Rationale & Process
Base Salary	•     Forms the basis for attracting talent and comparing to and remaining competitive with the market. •     Fixed, and used to determine other aspects of the compensation program. •     Targeted at the median of the peer group while also taking into account the factors listed below. •     Determined at the beginning of the year based on benchmarking performed internally or by an independent third-party consultant. The base salary for each NEO is based on an assessment of the current competitive market, economic conditions, compensation levels within the peer group, Corporation performance (both on an absolute basis and relative to the peer group), complexity of the workload undertaken and the particular skills of each NEO such as leadership ability, management effectiveness, experience, technical skill and knowledge, responsibility and proven or expected performance of the particular individual. •     Using market-based data from the external benchmarking comparison, budgetary guidelines and other internally generated planning and forecasting tools, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee performs an assessment of the compensation of all NEOs. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee then works to set the base salary of the CEO and then along with the CEO to set the base salary of the CFO and other NEOs.
Short-Term Incentive	•     Links pay to corporate and/or personal achievements for the year. •     Short-term incentive opportunity targeted at the median of the peer group with ability to pay above median when superior results are achieved. •     Short-term incentive criteria are established at the start of the year and include specific targets and corporate goals. Successful achievement of a short-term incentive target will trigger a partial incentive payout using a balanced scorecard approach. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee assesses NEO performance against the short-term incentive criteria annually and, if criteria are met, approves the payment of short-term incentives. If a minimum level of performance is not achieved then no short-term incentive is paid to an NEO.
Equity Compensation (e.g. Omnibus Equity Plan)	•     Links pay to the longer-term performance of the Corporation's Shares. •     The level of Equity compensation granted is targeted at the median of the peer group with the ability to realize value from equity above median when superior share price performance is achieved for the Corporation's shareholders. •     The Corporation has historically granted long-term incentives in the form of stock options. Any new stock options issued going forward will have a 5-year term to expiry. Stock Options are granted to encourage share ownership and creative value-creation for shareholders in those receiving Options. They also help align the interests of the NEOs with the interests of Shareholders by linking a component of executive compensation to the longer-term performance of the Corporation's Shares. •     The Corporation also has made grants of Corporation Shares to NEOs as part of their employment contracts, which also tie the NEOs to the long-term value created for TRX shareholders.
Employee Benefits	•     Participation in the Corporation's employee group benefits plans is provided to each NEO where available. •     There is no pension plan for the NEOs. •     Designed to be competitive overall with equivalent positions in the mining industry of similar size and scope.

Base Salary

In determining the annual base salary, the Board of Directors, with the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee, considered the following factors:

·	Current competitive market and economic conditions;

·	Compensation levels within the peer group;

·	Corporation performance on an absolute basis and relative to the peer group;

·	Complexity of the workload undertaken; and

·	Particular skills of each NEO, such as leadership ability, management effectiveness, experience, technical skill and knowledge, responsibility and proven or expected performance of the particular individual.

The annual base salaries for NEOs in Fiscal Year 2022 were as follows:

Named Executive Officer and Position	Pre-GGA Review Base Salary ($)	Post-GGA Review Base Salary ($)
Stephen Mullowney, Chief Executive Officer	$500,000	$500,000
Andrew Cheatle, Chief Operating Officer	$375,000	$375,000
Michael Leonard, Chief Financial Officer	$225,000	$265,000
Khalaf Rashid, SVP Tanzania	$225,000	$225,000
Donna Moroney, Former Corporate Secretary (1)	N/A	N/A

(1)	Ms. Moroney resigned as Corporate Secretary on June 30, 2022. Ms. Moroney did not receive a base salary.

Short-Term Incentive

Short-term incentive payments are determined based on the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee's judgment of the performance of the Corporation and individual executives on an annual basis with reference to the financial position of the Corporation. Incentives historically have been determined on a discretionary basis with no set formula used to determine short-term incentive amounts given the relative size of the Corporation and the new management team that has been put in place.

While there was no formal short-term incentive design adopted in Fiscal Year 2022 for the NEOs, once the Board determines that the business has stabilized and the Corporation is in a stronger financial position there is an intent of the Corporation to put in place a short-term incentive opportunity for each NEO that is market competitive on an annual basis. The Corporation plans to put in place a more structured short-term incentive design with the help of its independent compensation advisor, GGA, that recognizes the accomplishments of each NEO and management as a whole.

In respect of Fiscal Year 2021 (Fiscal Year 2022 to be determined in Fiscal Year 2023), the Board of Directors and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee have recognized the accomplishments of management as a whole. Specifically:

·

A management team that was laser-focused on execution and growth: The TRX Gold team delivered two mill expansions on site at the Buckreef Gold Project. In Q2 2022, Phase 1 of the 1,000 tpd+ mill was commissioned, allowing for an increase in production rates and plant throughput to 360 tonnes per day ("tpd"). Subsequent to year-end, in September 2022 Buckreef Gold announced successful commissioning of the second phase of the mill expansion to 1,000+ tpd. As a result, since Q2 2022, the production of low-cost, high margin gold ounces has steadily increased each month.

·

A strong, reliable labor force: Hired a qualified management team at Corporate and a talented workforce at Buckreef Gold to support growth and execution of the Corporation's business plan. Thanks to TRX Gold's local employees, contractors, trades people, material suppliers and service providers, the two mill expansions were delivered on time and on budget, at a capital cost of approximately $5.6 million for both phases, significantly below the cost estimates and quotes provided by third party contractors. Tanzania continues to prove itself as a country that is self-sufficient, dependable and capable with a high quality, qualified workforce to source talent. Thanks to these qualities, Buckreef Gold did not experience any slowdowns or cost overruns caused by ongoing global supply chain challenges and continues to successfully execute its business plan. As part of the Corporation's commitment to its employees in Tanzania, the Corporation developed formalized employee contracts for all employees, provided benefit plans to all employees and their families and renovated the Buckreef Gold camp accommodation and living quarters.

·

Full year and Q4 gold production that exceeded expectations: For the year ended August 31, 2022, Buckreef Gold poured 8,874 ounces of gold and sold 8,598 ounces of gold. The Corporation recognized revenue of $15.1 million, cost of sales of $5.7 million and cash costs of $665 per ounce of gold, generating a strong full year gross profit of $9.4 million, gross profit margin of 62% and Adjusted EBITDA of $3.5 million. The Corporation generated $3.0 million of operating cash flow - the first year of positive operating cash flow in the Corporation's history. The Corporation has commenced the initial planning for utilization of tax losses and registration of intercompany loans to facilitate cash repatriation to fund overhead expenditures in the future. For Q4 2022, Buckreef Gold poured 3,619 ounces of gold, a new quarterly production record, exceeding previous production guidance of 750-800 ounces of gold per month. Furthermore, 3,363 ounces of gold were sold, also a new quarterly sales record for the Corporation, resulting in positive operating cash flow of $2.4 million. Buckreef recognized revenue of $6.0 million in Q4 2022, cost of sales of $1.9 million, and cash costs of $560 per ounce of gold, below guidance, generating strong Q4 gross profit of $4.1 million, gross profit margin of 69% and Adjusted EBITDA of $2.2 million. The Corporation has now been transformed from a cash-burning enterprise into a self-sustaining, cash flow generating business that organically funds operations and value creating activities, including exploration and growth.

·

Drilling at Buckreef Gold resulting in discovery, expansion and definition: In 2022, the Corporation drilled over 22,000 meters at Buckreef Gold ($3.7 million) including infill drilling, step-out drilling and grade control drilling. During the year, the Corporation extended Buckreef Gold's Main Zone by 300 meters or 30%, to 2.0 kilometers, as a result of its northeast step-out drilling program. In Q4 2022, an additional drill rig was added to expand the exploration program and, to date, a total of 22 holes representing over 7,592 meters in the northeast extension of the Buckreef Main Zone, have been completed. The Corporation executed an infill drill program at the Main Zone, consisting of 16 drill holes, representing 3,695 meters. Also, during Q4 2022, the Corporation explored under the South Pit and tested the South Zone extension with 24 drill holes, representing 4,255 meters. Results from both programs are pending. The Corporation also announced the discovery of two new shear zones, Buckreef West and the Anfield Zone. Subsequent to year-end, the Corporation commenced exploration drilling at the Anfield Zone, where the drill rig is now active with 9 drill holes representing 1,650 meters. Assay results from this program are also pending. Also subsequent to year-end, the Corporation announced results from its 19-hole metallurgical variability sampling program on the Buckreef Main Zone. The Corporation will assess the amenability of the sulphide material to be processed through the existing processing plant and flowsheet, which may have positive implications for potential near-to-mid-term plant expansions. The Corporation is in the process of developing a robust 5-year mine plan, which will segue into development of a comprehensive long-term life of mine plan.

·

Improved Liquidity and removal of Going Concern note disclosure: After recapitalizing the business in 2021 and 2022 with over $30 million of equity capital raised, at the end of Q4 2022, TRX Gold had no debt on record, cash of $8.5 million and working capital of $5.4 million after adjusting for liabilities which will only be settled by issuing equity of the Corporation. During the year, the Corporation successfully closed three financing transactions providing the Corporation with additional flexibility and liquidity, if necessary, to help fund acceleration of its growth strategy including: (i) a registered direct offering with a single institutional investor for net proceeds of $6.4 million; (ii) a pre-paid gold purchase agreement with a contract price totaling $5 million with OCIM Metals & Mining SA; and (iii) a purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC ("Lincoln Park") enabling TRX Gold, in its sole discretion, to sell up to $10 million of its shares to Lincoln Park over a 36-month period. As a result of the Corporation's enhanced liquidity profile and strengthened balance sheet, management, Board and its external auditors determined that that the Company could remove financial statement note disclosure which indicated there may be conditions which may cast substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

·

Continued commitment to Community, ESG, Health & Safety: In 2022, Buckreef Gold continued to expand its CSR program, successfully partnering with both regional and district Commissioners on school, water and health projects. From an environmental standpoint, Buckreef Gold continued to look for ways in which to employ sustainable mining practices. The operation continues to: (i) utilize the Tanzanian national electricity grid for power which is significantly and increasingly sourced from hydroelectric facilities in Tanzania; (ii) recycle all water used in its operations; (iii) not discharge water from its operations; (iv) employ a workforce that is 100% Tanzanian. From a social license standpoint, in 2022 the Company successfully finalized the land compensation process as required under Tanzanian mining law. In total, approximately $2.7 million has been distributed to local land and property owners. During the year Buckreef Gold was also granted an extension to the renewal date for the Special Mining License (SML 04/92) extending the SML renewal period for Buckreef Gold by an additional 5 years from 2027 to 2032. From a health and safety standpoint, in 2022, the Company achieved zero lost time to injuries ("LTIs") and had no confirmed COVID-19 cases at site. Subsequent to year-end the Company achieved a significant safety milestone of 1.0 million operating hours with no LTIs. From a government relations standpoint, the Company addressed legacy lawsuits, governmental disputes and settled penalties with its joint venture partner STAMICO, under the terms of the joint venture agreement.

·

Improvement of Internal Controls: The Company continued to strengthen its internal controls environment and made several improvements to ensure that key controls are designed and operating effectively, including, (i) engaging a third-party service provider to design and implement an enhanced internal control framework, (ii) hired an experienced finance team at Corporate and Buckreef with extensive IFRS experience to provide technical support and to enhance review and approval of journal entries, invoices and reconciliations, (iii) implemented a new enterprise resource planning system to increase financial reporting efficiencies and improve controls over processes that were previously manual in nature, and (iv) implemented a zero-dollar approval threshold over cash payments and require executive management (CFO, COO) and site General Managers to review and approve every dollar of expenditure and only advance funds for payment based on approved, signed invoices by site GM.

·

Corporate Governance: During fiscal year 2022 the Company began to execute board renewal and succession planning adding a new board member that bring many years of capital markets, legal experience and industry experience to assist the Corporation in establishing stronger corporate governance, government and joint venture relations and strategic growth. A formalized governance framework with enhanced governance documents ranging from new policies on anti-bribery and corruption, to an expanded Board mandate and formal charters for committees of the Board.

In recognizing these accomplishments, taking into consideration the Corporation's financial position in respect of Fiscal Year 2022, the Board of Directors, with the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and consultation with management, determined it was in the best interest for the Corporation to maintain its liquidity position and not to award awarded short-term incentive payments and to orientate NEO compensation towards LTI's. Canadian NEOs have also deferred certain RSU grants in order to maintain treasury as the Corporation is responsible for income tax withholdings on RSU income. These RSU grants have vested and will be issued in the future.

Equity Compensation

Equity compensation plans are designed to provide an incentive to the directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Corporation to achieve the longer-term objectives of the Corporation; to give suitable recognition to the ability and industry of such persons who contribute materially to the success of the Corporation; and to attract and retain persons of experience and ability, by providing them with the opportunity to acquire an increased proprietary interest in the Corporation. The Corporation awards equity-based compensation to its executive officers and employees, based upon the Board's review of the recommendations of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. Previous awards of such equity compensation are taken into account when considering new grants.

Implementation of any new incentive equity-based compensation plan and amendments to the existing plans are the responsibility of the Corporation's Board.

In general, the Corporation provides for equity compensation through its Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, which was last approved by shareholders on February 25, 2022.

The maximum allocation of stock options, restricted share units ("RSUs"), performance share units ("PSUs") and deferred share units ("DSUs") under the plan in aggregate is 10% of the outstanding common shares of the Corporation from time-to-time.

The aggregate number of Common Shares, (a) issuable to insiders (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) at any time under all of the Corporation's security based compensation arrangements may not exceed 10% of the Corporation's total issued and outstanding Common Shares; and (b) issued to insiders within any one-year period, under all of the Corporation's security based compensation arrangements may not exceed 10% of the Corporation's total issued and outstanding Common Shares; provided that the acquisition of Common Shares by the Corporation for cancellation shall not constitute non-compliance with the Omnibus Plan for any Omnibus Plan Awards outstanding prior to such purchase of Common Shares for cancellation. The annual grant of Awards under this Plan to any one Non-Employee Director shall not exceed $150,000 in value (based on a Black-Scholes calculation or such other similar and acceptable methodology, applied consistently and appropriately as determined by the Board), of which no more than $100,000 may comprise Options. For certainty, this annual limit does not apply to one-time sign-on awards for new Non-Employee Directors.

The granting of stock options and share units is intended to encourage the maximization of shareholder value by better aligning the interests of the executive officers with the long-term interests of shareholders while also aiding in building share ownership and retention for the Corporation's employees.

The Omnibus Plan provides for the grant of other share-based awards to participants ("Other Share-Based Awards"), which awards would include the grant of Common Shares. All Other Share-Based Awards will be granted by an agreement evidencing the Other Share-Based Awards granted under the Omnibus Plan.

Options

The objective of stock options is to align compensation with returns achieved for TRX shareholders. Eligible executives and employees will only earn value if the underlying share price of TRX appreciates above the exercise price the stock options are granted at. They are intended to assist TRX in retaining employees, attracting critical talent and provide an opportunity to participate in TRX's long-term share price growth.

Stock options are granted according to the specific level of responsibility of the particular employee and the number of options for each level of responsibility is determined by the Compensation Committee with senior-level executives receiving a larger portion of their compensation in the form of stock options. Consideration is made to historical grants made to the employee and the number of stock options outstanding when determining whether future grants should be made, in addition to any initial sign-on awards.

An Option entitles a holder thereof to purchase a Common Share at an exercise price set at the time of the grant, which exercise price must in all cases be not less than the Market Price on the date of grant (the "Exercise Price"). Market Price is defined as the greater of the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX or NYSE American for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of grant (or, if such Common Shares are not then listed and posted for trading on the TSX or NYSE American, on such stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed and posted for trading as may be selected for such purpose by the Board); provided that, for so long as the Common Shares are listed and posted for trading on the TSX or NYSE American, the Market Price shall not be less than the market price, as calculated under the policies of the TSX or NYSE American and further provided that with respect to an award made to a U.S. Taxpayer (as defined in the Omnibus Plan), such participant and the number of Common Shares subject to such Omnibus Plan Award shall be identified by the Board or the Committee (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) prior to the start of the applicable five trading day period ("Market Price"). In the event that such Shares are not listed and posted for trading on any exchange, the Market Price shall be the fair market value of such Common Shares as determined by the Board in its sole discretion and, with respect to an Omnibus Plan Award made to a U.S. Taxpayer, in accordance with Section 409A of the Code (as defined in the Omnibus Plan).

The term of each Option will be fixed by the Plan Administrator, but may not exceed 10 years from the grant date.

As of August 31, 2022, 12,711,000 options are outstanding, representing 4.6% of common shares outstanding.

Restricted Share Units

The objective of granting RSUs is to retain employees and non-employee directors while maintaining alignment of compensation with the long-term share price performance provided to TRX shareholders. RSUs also aid in promoting greater share ownership by executives, employees and non-employee directors at TRX. They are intended to help TRX in retaining and motivating key talent to drive performance over the long run.

An RSU is a unit equivalent in value to a Common Share credited by means of a bookkeeping entry of the Corporation which entitles the holder to receive one Common Share for each RSU after a specified vesting period determined by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion. Upon settlement, holders will receive (a) one fully paid and non-assessable Common Share in respect of each vested RSU, (b) subject to the approval of the Plan Administrator, a cash payment, or (c) a combination of Common Shares and cash as contemplated by paragraphs (a) and (b). The cash payment is determined by multiplying the number of RSUs redeemed for cash by the Market Price on the date of settlement.

The number of RSUs granted at any particular time will be calculated by dividing (i) the amount of any compensation that is to be paid in the RSUs, as determined by the Plan Administrator, by (ii) the Market Price of a Common Share on the date of grant.

As of August 31, 2022, 1,280,743 RSUs are outstanding, representing 0.46% of common shares outstanding.

Performance Share Units

The objective of granting PSUs is to retain employees while maintaining alignment of compensation with the long-term performance provided to TRX shareholders, both from a share price and/or operational perspective. PSUs also aid in promoting greater share ownership by executives and employees at TRX. They are intended to help TRX in retaining and motivating key talent to drive performance over the long run.

A PSU is a unit equivalent in value to a Common Share credited by means of a bookkeeping entry of the Corporation which entitles the holder to receive one Common Share for each PSU on a future date, generally upon the achievement of certain performance goals within the Corporation as determined by the Plan Administrator. Upon settlement, holders will receive (a) one fully paid and non- assessable Common Share in respect of each vested PSU, (b) subject to the approval of the Plan Administrator, a cash payment or (c) a combination of Common Shares and cash as contemplated by paragraphs (a) and (b). The cash payment is determined with reference to the Market Price in the same manner as with RSUs.

The number of PSUs granted at any particular time will be calculated by dividing (i) the amount of any compensation that is to be paid in the PSUs, as determined by the Plan Administrator, by (ii) the Market Price of a Common Share on the date of grant. In certain cases, a discount may be applied to take into account the additional performance conditions attached to the PSU grant.

As of August 31, 2022, no PSUs are outstanding.

Deferred Share Units

The objective of granting DSUs is to retain employees and/or non-employee directors while maintaining alignment of compensation with the long-term share price performance provided to TRX shareholders. DSUs also aid in promoting greater share ownership by executives, employees and non-employee directors at TRX.

A DSU is a unit equivalent in value to a Common Share credited by means of a bookkeeping entry of the Corporation which entitles the holder to receive one Common Share for each DSU on a future date, generally upon termination of service with the Corporation. Upon settlement, holders will receive (a) one fully paid and non- assessable Common Share in respect of each vested DSU, (b) subject to the approval of the Plan Administrator, a cash payment, or (c) a combination of Common Shares and cash as contemplated by paragraphs (a) and (b). The cash payment is determined with reference to the Market Price in the same manner as with RSUs.

The number of DSUs granted at any particular time will be calculated by dividing (i) the amount of any compensation that is to be paid in the DSUs, as determined by the Plan Administrator, by (ii) the Market Price of a Common Share on the date of grant.

As of August 31, 2022, no DSUs are outstanding.

Dividend Equivalents

RSUs, PSUs and DSUs shall be credited with dividend equivalents in the form of additional RSUs, PSUs and DSUs, as applicable. Dividend equivalents shall vest in proportion to, and settle in the same manner as, the awards to which they relate. Such dividend equivalents shall be computed by dividing: (a) the amount obtained by multiplying the amount of the dividend declared and paid per Common Share by the number of RSUs, PSUs and DSUs, as applicable, held by the participant on the Record Date for the payment of such dividend, by (b) the Market Price at the close of the first business day immediately following the dividend record date, with fractions computed to three decimal places.

Further details on the Corporation's Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan can be found in the Corporation's 2022 Management Information Circular, filed on January 27, 2022 on SEDAR.

Equity Compensation Awarded for Fiscal Year 2021 in Fiscal Year 2022 (Fiscal Year 2022 Equity Compensation will be determined in Fiscal Year 2023)

It was recognized during Fiscal Year 2022 that cash and equity compensation earned by certain NEOs had been accrued during Fiscal Year 2021 but not paid/granted, which was addressed by the Corporation during Fiscal Year 2022. The Corporation plans to address Fiscal Year 2022 cash and equity compensation for certain NEOs in Fiscal Year 2023.

The following table outlines the value of equity compensation granted to NEOs in Fiscal Year 2022. The number of options granted took into account the results of GGA's competitive market review as well as the complexity of the incumbent's role and their individual performance. They are intended to motivate NEOs to achieve long-term share price growth and value for TRX shareholders.

Named Executive Officer and Position	Number of Options Granted	Exercise Price	Grant Date Fair Value of Options ($)(2)
Stephen Mullowney, Chief Executive Officer	2,500,000	$0.50	$633,500(3)
Andrew Cheatle, Chief Operating Officer	1,875,000	$0.50	$475,125(3)
Michael Leonard, Chief Financial Officer	1,750,000	$0.50	$443,450(3)
Khalaf Rashid, SVP Tanzania	1,250,000	$0.50	$316,750(3)
Donna Moroney, Former Corporate Secretary (1)	n/a	n/a	n/a

(1)	Ms. Moroney resigned as Corporate Secretary on June 30, 2022.

(2)	The grant date fair value of options is determined by the Black-Scholes value of each option granted multiplied by number of options granted.

(3)	Options vest as per the following schedule: One-fifth vested immediately on August 17, 2022, the date of grant. The remaining vests equally over a 4-year period on each anniversary of the date of grant. Options expire August 17, 2027.

While there was no formal Target LTIP (i.e. equity compensation) opportunity communicated in Fiscal Year 2022 to the NEOs, once the business stabilizes there is an intent of the Corporation to put in place a Target LTIP opportunity for each NEO this is market competitive on an annual basis.

Performance Graph

The following line graph and succeeding table compare the return, assuming an initial investment of C$100, with the cumulative total return, in respect of the S&P/TSX Composite Index and S&P/TSX Global Gold Index compiled by the TSX for the five most recently completed financial years. Both the S&P/TSX Composite Index and S&P/TSX Global Gold Index figures are provided on a total return basis.

	2017/08/31	2018/08/31	2019/08/31	2020/08/31	2021/08/31	2022/08/31
TRX Gold Corporation	$100.00	$84.26	$196.30	$201.85	$92.59	$118.52
S&P/TSX Composite Index	$100.00	$110.09	$114.88	$119.25	$152.92	$147.75
S&P/TSX Global Gold Index	$100.00	$75.47	$127.67	$187.50	$145.23	$114.29

There has been significant turnover in terms of NEOs within the Corporation over the past 5 years, so direct correlation between NEO compensation and the Corporation's total return for shareholders is difficult to establish. Starting in Fiscal Year 2022, a significant portion of NEO compensation has now been tied to equity compensation through the granting of stock options which are considered at-risk and long-term performance based. Over time, the realized and realizable compensation earned by NEOs should prove to have more correlation with the total return achieved for TRX shareholders.

The following tables set forth particulars concerning the compensation of the five NEOs for the Corporation's last three fiscal years ended August 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020:

Director Compensation

During Fiscal Year 2022, the Corporation engaged GGA to complete a review of non-employee director compensation. Coming out of that review, a director compensation philosophy was established with the following objectives:

·	Be fair and reasonable, reflecting the time and effort required by a director;

·	Reflect the complexities, risks, skillsets and value associated with directors on the Board;

·	Attract, retain and motivate high quality individuals to act in the best interests of the shareholders;

·	Reward each director based on individual commitments; and

·	Be affordable to the organization.

A more formalized compensation structure with flat cash retainers paid for Board and Committee service was adopted on a go forward basis along with eligibility to receive annual equity grants (currently in the form of RSUs). Compensation has been targeted at an appropriate position within TRX's peer group to reflect the relative workload and risk of liability non-employee directors are assuming currently.

It was also recognized during Fiscal Year 2022 that cash and equity compensation earned by certain non-employee directors had been accrued during Fiscal Year 2021, but not paid/granted which was addressed by the Corporation during Fiscal Year 2022. The Corporation plans to address Fiscal Year 2022 cash and equity compensation for certain non-employee directors in Fiscal Year 2023.

Cash Retainers

Outlined in the table below is a summary of the cash retainers approved by the Board. The retainers outlined below take into account the results of benchmarking analysis conducted by GGA in the spring of 2022 to position the non-employee director compensation at TRX more competitively within the peer group and reflect the roles, responsibilities and risks faced by TRX directors.

Effective Fiscal Year 2022, non-employee directors can elect to receive all or a portion of cash fees in RSUs.

Director Compensation	Chair Annual Retainer ($)	Member Annual Retainer ($)
Board of Directors	150,000	60,000

Compensation Committee(1)	10,000	5,000
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee	10,000	5,000

(1)

The Compensation Committee mandate was assumed by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, which in turn created a temporary special committee on compensation comprised of Norman Betts and Shubo Rakhit in the first quarter of the Corporation's 2022 Fiscal Year, to engage with external consultants GGA and complete a comprehensive review of the Corporation's compensation model to guide the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Corporation's compensation governance going forward.

Equity Compensation

In addition to the cash retainers outlined above, TRX directors are also eligible to receive an annual grant of RSUs, subject to the annual grant limits approved under the Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan.

RSU grants were made in August 2022 to non-employee directors to compensate them for their service in Fiscal Year 2022. For select directors, a higher RSU grant was made to compensate them for the lack of equity compensation granted to them during Fiscal Year 2021.

The following table outlines the value of equity compensation granted to non-employee directors in the form of RSUs in Fiscal Year 2022.

Director	Number of RSUs Granted	Grant Price ($)	Grant Date Fair Value of RSUs (1) ($)

James Sinclair	75,000	$0.50	37,500
Richard Steinberg (3)	75,000	$0.50	37,500

(1)

RSUs were granted to directors to compensate them for their work on the Board or within TRX during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022 following a competitive market review of director compensation that was conducted by GGA. For certain directors, grants were also made in recognition of previously approved equity grants that should have been made during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021. Director RSU grants vest after 30 days from grant date.

For further details about the Audit and Risk Management Committee, Shareholders are referred to the Corporation's Annual Information Form dated November 29, 2022 (filed on SEDAR on November 29, 2022) under the heading, "Audit Committee Information" for the disclosure required by Form 52-110F1 of National Instrument 52-110.

INDEBTEDNESS TO CORPORATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

No directors or executive officers of the Corporation or proposed nominees for election as a director, or their associates or affiliates have been indebted to the Corporation.

INTEREST OF INFORMED PERSONS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

No director, officer or proposed nominee for election as a director and no associate or affiliate of any insider or nominee has or has had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction since the commencement of the Corporation's last completed financial year, or in any proposed transaction, which in either such case has materially affected or will materially affect the Corporation.

STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

The Board and senior management consider good corporate governance to be central to the effective and efficient operation of the Corporation. The Board has confirmed the Corporation's main area of interest has been in the exploration and development of gold properties, with a primary focus on exploring for and developing gold properties in the United Republic of Tanzania ("Tanzania"). Tanzania remains the focus of the Corporation's exploration and development activities. The Corporation's primary asset is its interest in the Buckreef Gold Project.

The fundamental responsibility of the Board is to appoint a competent executive team and to oversee the management of the business, with a view to maximizing shareholder value and ensuring corporate conduct in an ethical and legal manner via an appropriate system of corporate governance and internal controls.

The Board believes that good corporate governance improves corporate performance and benefits all shareholders. National Policy 58-201 - Corporate Governance Guidelines provides non-prescriptive guidelines on corporate governance practices for reporting issuers such as the Corporation. In addition, NI 58-101 prescribes certain disclosure by the Corporation of its corporate governance practices.

The following report by the Board describes the analysis and disclosure of corporate governance practices of the Corporation.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

1. Board of Directors

A director is considered independent only where the Board determines that the director has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Corporation or its subsidiaries (together referred to as the Corporation). A "material relationship" is defined in National Instrument 52-110 - Audit Committees to mean any relationship, which could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director's independent judgement.

On an annual basis, the Board, in consultation with the Audit and Risk Management Committee, reviews each relationship that a director has with the Corporation in order to determine whether the director is or remains independent.

Based on reference to these requirements and review of the applicable factual circumstances against these standards, the Board, in consultation with the Audit and Risk Management Committee, has determined that subsequent to the Meeting, half of its directors will be independent. The following table identifies which directors are not independent and the basis for that determination.

Director	Independence Status	Basis for determination of non-independence
Stephen Mullowney	Not independent	Mr. Mullowney is considered to have a material relationship with the Corporation by virtue of his position as CEO of the Corporation
James Sinclair	Not independent	James Sinclair is considered to have a material relationship with the Corporation by virtue of his position as former Executive Chair and Founder of the Corporation
Norman Betts	Independent	Not applicable - no material relationship
Richard J. Steinberg	Independent	Not applicable - no material relationship
Andrew Cheatle	Not independent	Mr. Cheatle is considered to have a material relationship with the Corporation by virtue of his position as COO of the Corporation
Shubo Rakhit(1)	Independent	Not applicable - no material relationship

(1)	Mr. Rakhit is the Lead Independent Director.

Subsequent to the Meeting, the Board will consist of an equal split of independent and non-independent directors.

The following directors of the Corporation are presently directors of other reporting issuers:

Norman Betts:	Adex Mining Inc., 49 North Resources Inc., Mimi's Rock Corp., Canada House Wellness Group Inc. and Intellipharmaceutics International Inc.
Andrew Cheatle		Condor Gold PLC

The Board has appointed Mr. Rakhit to serve as Lead Independent Director. The Lead Independent Director will chair regular meetings of the independent directors. The purpose of the Lead Independent Director is to ensure the Board functions adequately independent of management. The Lead Independent Director will be able to set meeting agendas and will oversee the information that is made available to directors by management. Board approval of some matters will require approval by a majority of independent directors in addition to approval of the majority of the Board.

The independent directors may hold separate meetings at which management is not in attendance. The Board facilitates open and candid discussion among its independent directors by encouraging such members to have discussions with the Board members who are not independent directors. The Board allows for time after each Board meeting to meet without management and non-independent directors. The Board also encourages its independent directors to have informal discussions amongst themselves whenever appropriate.

The various board committees are comprised completely of independent directors. It is also the intention of the Board to return to a majority independent board (see Board Succession under the Nomination of Directors section).

The Corporation held six Board meetings since the beginning of the most recently completed financial year, of which Andrew Cheatle was absent for one meeting.

Four Audit and Risk Management Committee meetings were held since the beginning of the most recently completed financial year, which were attended by all committee members.

2. Board Mandate

The following is the mandate of the Board:

·	Advocate and support the best interests of the Corporation;

·	Review and approve strategic, business and capital plans for the Corporation;

·	Ensure that specific and relevant corporate measurements are developed and adequate controls and information systems are in place with regard to business performance;

·	Review the principal risks of the Corporation's business and pursue the implementation of appropriate systems to manage such risks;

·	Monitor progress and efficiency of strategic, business, and capital plans and require appropriate action to be taken when performance falls short of goals;

·

Establish and monitor a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct for Directors, Officers and Employees to address, among other matters, conflicts of interest, protection and proper use of corporate assets and opportunities, fair dealing with third parties, compliance with laws, rules and regulations, and reporting of any illegal or unethical behaviour;

·	Establish and monitor a Code of Ethical Conduct for Financial Managers to address, among other matters, conflicts of interest, fair dealing with third parties, compliance with laws, rules and regulations, and reporting of any illegal or unethical behaviour;

·	Review measures implemented and maintained by the Corporation to ensure compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements;

·	Review and monitor the effectiveness of the Audit and Risk Management Committee, and the Audit and Risk Management Committee Charter, on at least an annual basis;

·	Select, evaluate, and compensate the senior management;

·	Grant shares or restricted stock units, or both, and monitor the evaluation and compensation of senior management;

·

Monitor the practices of management to ensure appropriate and timely communication of material information concerning the Corporation to its shareholders; in addition, assume responsibility for the Communication (Disclosure) Policy of the Corporation to ensure that it addresses how the Corporation interacts with analysts and the public and that it contains measures for the Corporation to avoid selective disclosure and ensures that insiders understand their obligations with respect to trading in securities of the Corporation;

·	Monitor compliance with the Communication (Disclosure) Policy and be responsible for the granting of any waivers therefrom;

·	Monitor overall safety and environmental policies and programs;

·	Monitor the development and implementation of programs for management succession and development; and

·	Discharge such other duties as may be required for the good stewardship of the Corporation.

3. Position Descriptions

The Board has developed a written position description for the Chair of the Board which sets out Chair's duties and responsibilities. The Board does not at this time have formal position descriptions for the Chair of each Board committee and the CEO. The Board expects the CEO to meet the corporate objectives and responsibilities of the Corporation.

While management is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Corporation's business, the Board serves in a supervisory capacity and is responsible for reviewing and approving corporate objectives and monitoring management's progress in achieving approved corporate objectives.

Management is required to seek the Board's approval for any major transaction. The Board would be required to give prior approval to any action that would lead to a material change in the nature of the business and affairs of the Corporation.

4. Orientation and Continuing Education

New directors receive copies of Board materials and all material regarding the Corporation including recent annual reports, annual information forms, proxy solicitation materials and various other operating and budget reports, and copies of the Corporation's codes and policies, including the statement of corporate governance policies of the Board, code of ethics and business conduct, code of ethical conduct for financial managers, whistleblower policy, disclosure (communications) policy and audit and risk management committee charter. New directors are encouraged to visit and meet with management on a regular basis. Management of the Corporation makes itself available for discussion with all Board members.

The Board does not presently provide organized continuing education programs for its directors. However, each Board member is encouraged to attend meetings, courses, seminars and conferences to ensure the director's knowledge and skills remain current to meet their obligations as directors.

5. Ethical Business Conduct

The Board has adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (the "Code") applicable to directors, officers, employees and consultants, and a Code of Ethical Conduct for Financial Managers to address, among other matters, conflicts of interest, protection and proper use of corporate assets and opportunities, fair dealing with third parties, compliance with laws, rules and regulations, and reporting of any illegal or unethical behaviour. The Code is posted on the Corporation's website at www.trxgold.com. The Code is also available for viewing on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com. The Board accepts the responsibility of monitoring compliance with the Code. The Corporation requires that directors, officers and employees annually certify they have complied with the Code. The Corporation has filed no material change reports relating to departures from the Code by any directors and/or officers or financial managers.

The Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Corporation's governing corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual director's participation in decisions of the Board in which the director has a material interest have been sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Corporation. Furthermore, all issuances of shares to insiders are separately approved by the Audit and Risk Management Committee, which consists entirely of independent directors.

The Board and the Corporation encourage and promote a culture of ethical business conduct from all directors, officers, employees and associates.

6. Nomination of Directors

The Board considers its size each year when it considers the number of directors to recommend to shareholders for election at the annual meeting of shareholders, taking into account the number required to carry out the Board's duties effectively and to maintain a diversity of view and experience.

The Board has a Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee comprised of independent directors Shubo Rakhit (Chair), Norman Betts and William Harvey. Subsequent to the Meeting, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will continue to be comprised of independent directors, including Shubo Rakhit (Chair), Norman Betts and Richard Steinberg. When a vacancy on the Board arises, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is encouraged to bring forward any potential nominees that have the necessary skills and knowledge to serve on the Board. When considering a potential candidate, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers the qualities and skills that the Board, as a whole, should have. Based on the talent already represented on the Board, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee identifies the skills, personal qualities or experiences that a candidate should possess in light of the opportunities and risks facing the Corporation. Potential candidates are screened to ensure they possess the requisite qualities, including integrity, business judgment and experience and other skills and abilities to work well with the Board and the Corporation.

Board Succession: Commencing in Fiscal Year 2022, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee has committed to overseeing a deliberate and gradual board refresh that will transform the make-up of the board. The goals of the board succession process are to bring in new members, enhance diversity and to ensure a gradual but effective transition of knowledge while maintaining an appropriate balance of skills and introducing, where appropriate additional mining engineering skills. The Board Succession and refresh process is a multi-year commitment, and may result from time to time a periodic imbalance of gender diversity and independence. The Corporation will be looking to bring the board composition back to a majority of independent directors by the next annual meeting. The Corporation's long-term commitment is to attain a minimum of at least one female director by 2024.

7. Compensation

The adequacy and form of director and officer compensation is reviewed on an annual basis by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee recommends to the Board any adjustments to the compensation payable to directors, officers, and senior staff.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is comprised of three directors: Shubo Rakhit (Chair), Norman Betts and William Harvey, all of whom are independent for the purposes of NI 58-101. Subsequent to the Meeting, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will be comprised of three directors: Shubo Rakhit (Chair), Norman Betts and Richard Steinberg, all of whom are independent for the purposes of NI 58-101.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee meets to discuss salary matters as required. Its recommendations are reached primarily by comparison of the remuneration paid by the Corporation with publicly available information on remuneration paid by other reporting issuers that the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee feels are similarly placed within the same business development of the Corporation.

GGA was retained as external advisors to assist the special committee on compensation and the Corporation in determining compensation.

8. Other Board Committees

The Board has appointed two committees; an Audit and Risk Management Committee and a Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee.

The Audit and Risk Management Committee is described above under "Composition of the Audit and Risk Management Committee"

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is described above under "Compensation" and "Nomination of Directors".

9. Assessments

Due to the size of the Board, no formal policy has been established to monitor the effectiveness of the directors, the Board and its committees. The Board conducts an annual review/evaluation process questionnaire which is designed to provide directors with an opportunity to evaluate the Board's performance and make suggestions for improvement. The completed questionnaires are submitted to the Chair of the Audit and Risk Management Committee who reviews the evaluations and submits a summary to the Board.

The Board as a whole is responsible for the Corporation's approach to corporate governance, committee and individual director effectiveness issues on a continuous basis. The Board has functioned and is of the opinion that it can continue to function, independently as required. When necessary or desirable, the Board will establish committees comprised of members who are independent with respect to the issue to be determined.

The Board, monitors the size of the Board to ensure effective decision-making.

10. Director Term Limits and Other Mechanisms of Board Renewal

The Corporation has not adopted term limits for its directors or other mechanisms for Board renewal. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, on an annual basis, reviews the size, composition, mandate and performance of the Board and the various committees of the Board, and makes recommendations for appointment, removal of directors or other adjustments as appropriate.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee has considered whether to propose that the Board adopt term limits for directors and has determined not to do so after consideration of a number of factors, including the significant advantages associated with the continued involvement of long-serving directors who have gained a deep understanding of the Corporation's projects, operations and objectives during their tenure; the experience, corporate memory and perspective of such directors; the professional experience, areas of expertise and personal character of members of the Board; and the current needs and objectives of the Corporation. For additional information regarding board renewal, refer to Board Succession under the Nomination of Directors section.

11. Policies Regarding the Representation of Women on the Board

The Corporation has not adopted a written policy relating to the identification and nomination of women directors, as it believes that the interests of the Corporation would be better served by ensuring that Board candidates are identified and selected from the widest possible group of potential candidates. The goal of this process is to create a Board that, as a whole, consists of individuals with various and relevant career experience, knowledge of the mining industry and financial or other specialized expertise. A formalized written diversity policy governing the identification and selection of potential candidates may unduly restrict the Board's ability to select the best candidate.

12. Consideration of the Representation of Women in the Director Identification and Selection Process

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, under the supervision of the Board is responsible for establishing qualifications and skills necessary for an effective Board and for various committees of the Board, including but not limited to factors such as professional experience, particular areas of expertise, personal character, potential conflicts of interest, diversity and other commitments.

Although diversity (which includes diversity in gender, age, ethnicity and cultural background) is one of the factors considered in the Corporation's director identification and selection process, other factors, being professional experience, particular areas of expertise and personal character, are also considered in the director identification and selection process. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee has had considerable discussion regarding gender diversity and the benefits thereof and the Corporation is committed to gender diversity on the Board, as well as at the senior levels of management. In light of the Corporation's view that candidates should be selected from the widest possible group of qualified individuals, the Board will ensure, in the process of ongoing Board renewal and the continuing search for a diverse mix of talent and competency, that, where possible, new appointments will advance the Corporation's commitment to diversity. See also "Targets Regarding the Representation of Women on the Board and in Executive Officer Positions" below.

13. Consideration Given to the Representation of Women in Executive Officer Appointments

The Corporation's views with respect to the representation of women in executive officer positions when making executive officer appointments is the same as its views on the representation of women in the director identification and selection process. In making decisions as to executive officer appointments, the Corporation believes that decisions to hire or promote an individual should be based on that person's professional experience, particular areas of expertise, character and merit. Accordingly, factors including but not limited to the level of representation of women in executive officer positions, professional experience, areas of expertise and personal character are considered when making executive officer appointments.

14. Targets Regarding the Representation of Women on the Board and in Executive Officer Positions

The Corporation has not adopted a formal target regarding women on the Board or in executive officer positions for the reasons set out above and the Corporation believes that adopting such a target may unduly restrict its ability to select, hire or promote the best candidate for the position in question.

15. Number of Women and Diversity on the Board and in Executive Officer Positions

The Corporation currently has no female directors on the Board and one female officer representing 20% of the Corporation's management team. The Board is currently comprised of 28.5% diverse members. The board of directors of Buckreef Gold Company Ltd., the Corporation's subsidiary, is currently comprised of 57% diverse members, including one female director.
