Specific details of the above items of business, as well as further information with respect to voting by proxy and detailed instructions about how to participate at the virtual Meeting are contained in the Circular which accompanies Notice of the Meeting (the "Notice").

Shareholders of record at the close of business April 23, 2020 will be entitled to receive notice, attend and vote at the Meeting.

With the rapidly evolving public health crisis resulting from the global spread of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19"), to mitigate risks to the health and safety of our communities, Shareholders, employees and other stakeholders, the Meeting will be held in a virtual-only format, which will be conducted via teleconference using dial-in at 1-877-407-2991 (toll free North America) or 1-201-389-0925 (International), and instructions will be provided as to how registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders entitled to vote at the Meeting may participate and vote at the Meeting.

Non-registered shareholders (being shareholders who beneficially own shares that are registered in the name of an intermediary such as a bank, trust company, securities broker or other nominee, or in the name of a depository of which the intermediary is a participant) who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholder will be able to attend the Meeting by phone as guests, but guests will not be able to vote or ask questions at the Meeting.

The Company reserves the right to take any additional precautionary measures in relation to the Meeting in response to further developments in respect of the COVID-19 outbreak that the Company considers necessary or advisable including changing the time, date or location of the Meeting. Changes to the Meeting time, date or location and/or means of holding the Meeting may be announced by way of press release. Please monitor the Company's press releases as well as its website at www.contactgold.com for updated information. The Company advises you to check its website one week prior to the Meeting date for the most current information. The Company does not intend to prepare or mail an amended Information Circular in the event of changes to the Meeting format.


Shareholders are cordially invited to attend the virtual Meeting. Shareholders are urged to complete and return a proxy or voting instruction form ("VIF") promptly.  To be effective, Contact Gold proxies must be received at the Vancouver office of Computershare, the Company's registrar and transfer agent, by 1:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on May 26, 2020, or 48 hours (excluding Sundays, Saturdays and holidays) prior to any adjourned or postponed Meeting.  Shareholders whose Common Shares are held by a nominee may receive either a VIF or form of Proxy and should follow the instructions provided by the nominee.

Proxies will be counted and tabulated by Computershare in such a manner as to protect the confidentiality of how a particular Shareholder votes except where they contain comments clearly intended for management, in the case of a proxy contest, or where it is necessary to determine the validity of a Proxy or to permit management and the Board to discharge their legal obligations to the Company or its Shareholders.
