MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR
(all information as at August 7, 2009 unless otherwise noted)

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This management information circular (the "Information Circular") is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies being made by the management of Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. ("Corporation") for use at an annual and special meeting of the Corporation's shareholders (the "Meeting") to be held on Thursday, September 10, 2009 at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting, and at any adjournments thereof. While it is expected that the solicitation will be made primarily by mail, proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone by directors, officers and employees of the Corporation.

All costs of this solicitation will be borne by the Corporation.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXIES

The individuals named in the accompanying form of proxy ("Proxy") are directors or officers of the Corporation.

A SHAREHOLDER WISHING TO APPOINT A PERSON OR CORPORATION (WHO NEED NOT BE A SHAREHOLDER) TO ATTEND AND ACT FOR THE SHAREHOLDER AND ON THE SHAREHOLDER'S BEHALF AT THE MEETING OTHER THAN THE PERSON OR CORPORATION DESIGNATED IN THE FORM OF PROXY HAS THE RIGHT TO DO SO, EITHER BY INSERTING SUCH PERSON'S NAME IN THE BLANK SPACE PROVIDED IN THE PROXY AND STRIKING OUT THE THREE PRINTED NAMES, OR BY COMPLETING ANOTHER PROXY. A proxy will not be valid unless it is completed, dated and signed and delivered to Computershare Investor Services Inc. ("Computershare"), Toronto Office, Proxy Department, at 100 University Avenue, 9th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5J 2Y1 not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time for holding the Meeting, unless the chairman of the Meeting elects to exercise his discretion to accept proxies received subsequently. For general inquiries, shareholders may contact Computershare as follows:

NON-REGISTERED HOLDERS

Only shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Corporation as the registered holders of shares or duly appointed proxy holders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most shareholders of the Corporation are "non-registered" shareholders because the shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the name of the brokerage firm, bank or trust Corporation through which they purchased the shares. More particularly, a person is not a registered shareholder in respect of shares which are held on behalf of the person (the "Non-Registered Holder") but which are registered either: (a) in the name of an intermediary ("Intermediary") that the Non-Registered Holder deals with in respect of the shares (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers, and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited ("CDS")) of which the Intermediary is a participant. In accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 54-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Corporation has distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting, this Information Circular and the Proxy (collectively, "Meeting Materials") to the clearing agencies and Intermediaries for onward distribution to Non-Registered Holders.

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

(a)

be given a Proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number of shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Holder but which is otherwise not completed. Because the Intermediary has already signed the Proxy, the Proxy is not required to be signed by the Non-Registered Holder. In this case, the Non- registered Holder should otherwise properly complete the Proxy and deliver it to Computershare Investor Services Inc. as provided above; or

(b)

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

3.

In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of the shares, which they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Holder who receives one of the above forms wish to vote at the Meeting in person, the Non-Registered Holder should strike out the names of the management proxy holders and insert the Non-Registered Holder's name in the blank space provided. In either case, Non-Registered Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when and where the Proxy or proxy authorization form is to be delivered.

In addition, Canadian securities legislation now permits the Corporation to forward meeting materials directly to "non objecting beneficial owners". If the Corporation or its agent has sent these materials to you directly (instead of through an Intermediary), your name and address, and information about your holdings of securities have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary holding your shares on your behalf. By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Corporation (and not the Intermediary holding your shares on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials to you and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions.

4.

REVOCATION OF PROXIES

A shareholder who has given a Proxy may revoke it by an instrument in writing executed by the shareholder or by the shareholder's attorney authorized in writing or, if the shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the corporation, and delivered either to Computershare Investor Services Inc., Proxy Department, 100 University Avenue, 9th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5J 2Y1, or to the Corporation, at 401 Bay Street, Suite 2700, P.O. Box 152, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5H 2Y4 at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting or any adjournment of it, or to the chair of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment of it. Only registered shareholders have the right to revoke a Proxy. Non-Registered Holders who wish to change their vote must, at least seven days before the Meeting, arrange for their respective Intermediaries to revoke the Proxy on their behalf.

A revocation of a Proxy does not affect any matter on which a vote has been taken prior to the revocation.

RECORD DATE

The Board of Directors of the Corporation has fixed August 7, 2009 as the record date (the "Record Date") for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to receive Notice of the Meeting. Only shareholders of record as at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to receive notice of the Meeting and to vote the common shares held by them, either in person or by proxy, at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

EXERCISE OF DISCRETION

If the instructions in a proxy are certain, the shares represented thereby will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the specifications so made on any poll by the persons named in the proxy, and, where a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon has been specified in the proxy, the shares represented thereby will, on a poll.

Where no choice has been specified by the shareholder, such shares will, on a poll, be voted in accordance with the notes to Proxy.

The enclosed Proxy, when properly completed and delivered and not revoked, confers discretionary authority upon the person(s) appointed proxy holders thereunder to vote with respect to any amendments or variations of matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the time of the printing of this Information Circular, management of the Corporation knows of no such amendment, variation or other matter which may be presented to the Meeting.

APPROVAL OF MATTERS

Unless otherwise noted, approval of matters to be placed before the Meeting is by an "ordinary resolution" which is a resolution passed by a simple majority (50%+1) of the votes cast by shareholders of the Corporation present and entitled to vote in person or by proxy.

5.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Except as disclosed in this Information Circular, no person who has been a director or executive officer of the Corporation at any time since the beginning of the Corporation's last financial year, no proposed nominee of the Corporation for election as a director of the Corporation, and no associate or affiliate of the foregoing persons, has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership or otherwise, in matters to be acted upon at the Meeting other than the election of directors or the appointment of auditors.

An "informed person" means: (a) a director of executive officer of the Corporation; (b) a director or executive officer of a person or Corporation that is itself an informed person or subsidiary of the Corporation; (c) any person or Corporation who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, voting securities of the Corporation or who exercises control or direction over voting securities of the Corporation or a combination of both carrying more than 10% of the voting rights other than voting securities held by the person or Corporation as underwriter in the course of a distribution; and (d) the Corporation itself, if and for so long as it has purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired any of its shares.

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

On April 3, 2007, Patrick Evans, a director of Eurasia Gold Inc. ("Eurasia") up until March 26, 2007, along with the remaining directors, officers and insiders of Eurasia (collectively, the "Management") were subject to a cease trade order issued by the Ontario Securities Commission ("OSC"), which required all trading in and all acquisitions of securities of Eurasia by Management to cease for a period of 15 days. The cease trade order was made because Eurasia failed to file its audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, management's discussion and analysis relating to the audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, and annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2006 (collectively, the "Year-End Financial Documents"). At a hearing held before the OSC on April 16, 2007, it was further ordered that all trading in and acquisitions of securities of Eurasia by any of the Management cease until Year-End Financial Documents were filed with the OSC. The cease trade order expired on April 25, 2007 when the Year-End Financial Documents were filed in accordance with the Ontario securities legislation. Prior to the issuance of the cease trade order, Patrick Evans had resigned as a director of Eurasia and he has not been involved with Eurasia in any capacity since March 26, 2007.

David Whittle was a director of Image Innovations Holdings Inc. ("Image"), a company incorporated in the United States. Image and its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11, Title 11 of the United States Code on July 6, 2006. Image's Joint Chapter 11 Liquidating Plan was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on August 21, 2007, and the Final Decree closing the Chapter 11 cases was entered August 28, 2008.

To the best of management's knowledge, no proposed director has, within the ten years before the date of this Information Circular, become bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or become 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 the proposed director.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Role of the Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing the Corporation's compensation arrangements with its executive officers as determined to be needed.

When reviewing the compensation of the executive officers, the Compensation Committee considers the following objectives: (i) recruiting and retaining the executives critical to the success of the Corporation and the enhancement of shareholder value; (ii) providing fair and competitive compensation based upon a detailed comparison with the compensation levels paid for similar positions by similar companies; (iii) balancing the interests of management and shareholders of the Corporation; and (iv) rewarding performance, both on an individual basis and with respect to the business in general. The Compensation Committee has the responsibility of reviewing the senior executive officers' total compensation package in consultation with the CEO and making proposals to the Board, reviewing and advising on stock option guidelines, including recommendations on specific option grants, and reviewing and communicating to the Board the compensation policies and principles that will be applied to other executives and employees of the Corporation.

Compensation Philosophy

The Corporation's compensation philosophy is that any and all employees, or those consulting in management roles, receive compensation based on the market value for the type of role they perform. Compensation currently includes two elements; consulting fees (pursuant to consulting agreements with NEOs), and long-term incentives by way of the grant of stock options in accordance with the policies of the TSX, the NYSE Amex and the Corporation's Stock Option Plan. The Corporation does not provide sponsored or defined pension or retirement plans, nor other benefit plans. Employees and/or consultants to the Corporation are expected to provide for their own benefits and retirement.

Composition of the Compensation Committee

The Corporation's Compensation Committee consists of Jonathan Comerford, Carl Verley (Chair), and David Whittle, three (3) non-management directors (each of whom is also an "independent" director, as defined in the National Instrument 52-110 "Audit Committees" and United States securities laws and NYSE Amex rules). However, compensation matters may also be reviewed and approved by the Corporation's entire board of directors (the "Board").

11.

Report on Executive Compensation

The Compensation Committee has no formal compensation policy. However, executive officers are compensated in a manner consistent with their respective contributions to the overall benefit of the Corporation.

Executive compensation is based on generally on discussion by the Compensation Committee, or by the Board of Directors as a whole. Since the Corporation entered into the consulting agreements with the CEO, Patrick Evans, in November 2005, and with the CFO, Jennifer Dawson, in May 2006, there have been no changes to the terms of the consulting agreements. The consulting agreements call primarily for cash-based compensation for Patrick Evans and Jennifer Dawson, although there were options granted upon the execution of the consulting agreement with Patrick Evans to align the interests of management and shareholders.

As part of the Compensation Committee's Terms of Reference, it is charged with the responsibility to review and recommend any changes to compensation for the Corporation's senior management, or to defer such discussions to the Board of Directors, and to make any recommendations for the granting of options. The Compensation Committee has not made any recommendations on changes to compensation for the Corporation's senior management in the most recently completed financial year. The Compensation Committee did make recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect to the granting of stock options for directors and officers during the year.

Consulting Fees

Currently, the CEO and CFO both provide consulting services to the Corporation for their respective roles with the Corporation, and have had consulting agreements with the Corporation since November 2005 and May 2006 respectively. There are no other NEOs with employment or other agreements with the Corporation.

Long-Term Incentives

The Corporation provides long-term incentives by granting stock options to executive officers in accordance with the policies of the TSX and the Corporation's Stock Option Plan. Any options granted permit executive officers to acquire common shares at an exercise price equal to the closing market price of such shares at the time of grant of the option. The objective of granting options is to encourage executive officers to acquire an ownership interest in the Corporation over a period of time, which acts as financial incentive for such executive officers to consider the long-term interests of the Corporation and its shareholders.

When determining the number of stock options to be granted to an executive officer, the Compensation Committee takes into account the number and terms of stock options previously granted to the executive officer, if any, and option compensation granted by similar companies to executives with similar responsibilities.

In November 2008, the Corporation's Compensation Committee recommended the grant of options to directors and officers of the Corporation. In its review, the Compensation Committee noted that none of the directors had been granted options for four years, that the CEO had not

12.

been granted options since his appointment in 2005, and the CFO had never been granted options. As well, the Compensation Committee noted that the number of options outstanding was very low compared to other resource companies. The Board reviewed the recommendation and approved the grants. The Board determined that it was appropriate that the vesting of the options be immediate. A total of 900,000 options (less than 1.5% of issued and outstanding shares as at the date of this document) were granted in total – 180,000 each to the Chairman of the Board and the CEO, and 90,000 each to the CFO and the remaining directors of the Corporation. These amounts were considered to be appropriate in recognition of the responsibilities of the grantees. The grant of these 900,000 options resulted in very few stock options remaining as available to grant under the current Stock Option Plan, and the Corporation determined that it would seek the shareholders' approval for amendments to the Stock Option Plan which include the provision for options equal to a rolling 10% of the Corporation's issued and outstanding shares being available for grant under the Corporation's Stock Option Plan.

There are no other Long-Term Incentive Plans in place.

Other Compensation

The Corporation provides no compensation to its NEOs other than the amounts under their respective consulting arrangements and Long-Term Incentives as described above. For greater certainty, the Corporation makes no commitments for Option-Based Awards or Share-Based Awards other than the stock options granted pursuant to the Corporation's Stock Option Plan.

Employment/Consulting Agreements of NEOs

The Corporation and its subsidiaries have no employment contracts with any Named Executive Officer, but have Consulting Agreements with the CEO and CFO, the Corporation's only Named Executive Officers.

CEO Compensation

The Corporation has a Consulting Agreement with Patrick Evans for his services as President and CEO which was effective November 1, 2005. The monthly consulting fee under the Consulting Agreement is $12,500, and in the year ended March 31, 2009, the Corporation paid a total of $150,000. Under the Consulting Agreement, Patrick Evans is entitled to receive a severance payment equal to six months of annual compensation in the event the Agreement is terminated by the Corporation. In the event of termination as a result of change in control of the Corporation, Patrick Evans is entitled to receive, within 30 days of the termination, a severance payment equal to twelve months of his annual compensation as well as incentive compensation described as well as a bonus of C$100,000 for each C$1.00 that the share price is above C$4.00 on such change of control, prorated.

CFO Compensation

The Corporation has a Consulting Agreement with Jennifer Dawson for her services as Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary, effective May 11, 2006, which renews annually effective May 1st of each year, unless terminated by either party with at least 60 days' notice. The Consulting Agreement is on a time-spent basis, and in the year ended March 31, 2009, the

13.

Corporation paid a total of $99,350 pursuant to this agreement. Under this Consulting Agreement, Jennifer Dawson is to be paid a lump sum, plus applicable taxes, equal to the previous twelve months of invoiced and billable services by her.

With the exception of the most recent fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, the trend for a cumulative investment in Mountain Province Diamonds Inc. is similar or better than an investment in the S&P/TSX Composite Index. The trend in executive compensation is consistent with the performance of the Corporation's common shares. The Corporation feels that compensation paid to its executive officers is in line with what is paid by comparable companies in North America. The Corporation bases the compensation for its executive officers on the years of service with the Corporation, responsibilities of each officer, the performance of each officer and their duties in that position.

Option-based awards

The Corporation's stock option plan has been and will be used to provide share purchase options which are granted in consideration of the level of responsibility of the executive as well as his or her impact or contribution to the longer-term operating performance of the Corporation. In determining the number of options to be granted to the executive officers, the Board of Directors takes into account the number of options, in any, previously granted to each executive officer, and the exercise price of any outstanding options to ensure that such grants are in accordance with the policies of the TSX, and closely align the interests of the executive officers with the interests of shareholders.

The Compensation Committee has the primary responsibility to administer the compensation policies related to the executive management of the Corporation, including option-based awards.

The President and CEO was paid $150,000 pursuant to a Consulting Agreement for his services as President and CEO for the years ended March 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007. Mr. Evans is also a director of the Corporation and receives fees for acting in his capacity as a director of $5,000 per annum for each of the years ended March 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, included in "All Other Compensation" above.

(2)

The Corporation used the Black-Scholes model as the methodology to calculate the grant date fair value (November xx, 2008) and relied on the following key assumptions and estimates for each calculation: Dividend yield – nil; Expected volatility – 55.59%; Risk fee rate of return – 2.57%; expected life of options – 5 years. The Corporation chose this methodology because it is a recognized standard for such valuations. In the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, there were no options granted to NEOs.

Incentive Plan Awards

The Corporation does not have any incentive plans, pursuant to which compensation that depends on achieving certain performance goals or similar conditions within a specified period is awarded, earned, paid or payable to the Named Executive Officer(s).

As disclosed elsewhere in this Information Circular, the Corporation has a stock option plan for the granting of incentive stock options to the officers, employees, and directors. The purpose of granting such options is to assist the Corporation in compensating, attracting, retaining and motivating the directors of the Corporation and to closely align the personal interests of such persons to those of the shareholders.

INDEBTEDNESS OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

As at the date of this Information Circular, no executive officer, director, employee or former executive officer, director or employee of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries is, or at any time since the beginning of the most recently completed financial year, has any of them been, indebted to the Corporation, or any of its subsidiaries, nor is any of these individuals, or at any time since the beginning of the most recently completed financial year, has any of them been,

18.

indebted to another entity which indebtedness is the subject of a guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or other similar arrangement or understanding provided by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries.

APPOINTMENT AND REMUNERATION OF AUDITOR

Shareholders will be asked to approve the reappointment of KPMG LLP, Chartered Accountants ("KPMG"), as the auditor of the Corporation to hold office until the next annual general meeting of the shareholders at remuneration to be fixed by the directors. The auditor was first appointed on August 6, 1998.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

No management functions of the Corporation or its subsidiaries are performed to any substantial degree by a person other than the directors or executive officers of the Corporation or its subsidiaries.

DISCLOSURE OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

Corporate Governance relates to the activities of the Board of Directors. National Policy 58-201 – Corporate Governance Disclosure ("NI 58-201") and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the rules adopted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to that Act, and the NYSE Amex corporate governance rules as they apply to foreign private issuers, together establish corporate governance guidelines which apply to the Corporation. Corporate governance relates to activities of the Board, the members of which are elected by and are accountable to the shareholders, and takes into account the role of the individual members of management who are appointed by the Board and who are charged with the day to day management of the Corporation. The Board is committed to sound corporate governance practices which are both in the interests of its shareholders and contribute to effective and efficient decision making. NI 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices ("NI 58-101") requires that each reporting company disclose its corporate governance practices on an annual basis.

The Corporation's general approach to corporate governance is summarized below.

Board of Directors

The Board is currently composed of seven directors. All the seven proposed nominees are current directors.

Independence

Section 1.4 of National Instrument 52-110 ("NI 52-110") sets out the standard for director independence. Under NI 52-110, a director is independent if he has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Corporation. A material relationship is a relationship which could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director's independent judgment. NI 52-110 also sets out certain situations where a director will automatically be considered to have a material relationship with the Corporation.

19.

Applying the definition set out in section 1.4 of NI 52-110, and applicable United States securities laws and NYSE Amex rules, six of the seven members of the Board are independent. The members who are independent are: Jonathan Comerford, Elizabeth J. Kirkwood, Carl Verley, David Whittle, D.H.W. (Harry) Dobson, and Peeyush Varshney.

Patrick Evans is not independent by virtue of the fact that he is an executive officer of the Corporation (Mr. Evans has been the President and CEO since November 2005).

In order to facilitate its exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of the Board, the Board ensures that a majority of independent directors sit on all Board committees.

Other Directorships

In addition to their positions on the Board, the following directors also serve as directors of the following reporting issuers or reporting issuer equivalents as of the date of this Information Circular:

Name of Director	Reporting Issuer(s) or Equivalent(s)
Patrick Evans	Norsemont Mining Inc.; First Uranium Corp.; Anvil Mining Inc.
D.H.W. (Harry) Dobson	Kirkland Lake Gold Inc.
Elizabeth Kirkwood	Everbright Capital Corporation
Peeyush Varshney	Afrasia Mineral Fields Inc.; BCY Resources Inc.; Canada Zinc Metals Corp;
	Hastings Resources Corp.; Minaean International Corp.; Range Capital Corp.
Carl Verley	Alphamin Resources Corp; African Metals Corporation

Meetings of Directors

The Board meets as necessary in the absence of management to ensure the Board's functional independence from management. The Corporation recognizes the desirability of directors being able to consult outside professional advice, as appropriate, in the discharge of their duties.

Since the beginning of the Corporation's most recently completed financial year, the independent directors have not held a meeting at which non-independent directors were not in attendance. The independent directors do not hold regularly scheduled meetings without non-independent directors and the Corporate Secretary (who is also a member of senior management). Open and candid discussion among independent directors is encouraged, and the independent directors are free to communicate with each other independent of the non-independent director and management as they feel is appropriate, and by the means they consider appropriate.

Independence of Chair

The Corporation's corporate governance structure recognizes the value of separating the offices of chair and CEO. Patrick Evans is the Corporation's President and Chief Executive Officer and the Board is chaired by Jonathan Comerford, an independent director.

20.

Attendance

The Board meets on a regularly scheduled basis and more frequently if required. During the most recently completed financial year ended March 31, 2009, the Board met five times. Patrick Evans, Jonathan Comerford, Peeyush Varshney and David Whittle attended all five meetings. Elizabeth Kirkwood and Carl Verley attended four of five meetings. Harry Dobson attended three of five meetings.

Board Mandate

The Board is required to supervise the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation and to act with a view to the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders. The Board actively oversees the development, adoption and implementation of the Corporation's strategies and plans. The Board's responsibilities include:

(a)	representing the interests of the shareholders in all significant decisions affecting the Corporation and ensuring that shareholders are kept informed of developments affecting their Corporation;
(b)	the Corporation's strategic planning process,
(c)	the identification of the principal risks of the Corporation's business and ensuring the implementation of appropriate systems to manage risk,
(d)	reviewing significant operational and financial issues as they arise and providing direction to management of these matters
(e)	acting diligently to ensure that the Corporation fulfils its legal and regulatory requirements
(f)	evaluating the effectiveness of senior management and establishing their compensation,
(g)	evaluating whether or not directors receive the information they require to perform their duties as directors,
(h)	the Corporation's succession planning, including appointing, training and monitoring senior management,
(i)	the Corporation's major business development initiatives,
(j)	the integrity of the Corporation's internal control and management information systems,
(k)	the Corporation's policies for communicating with shareholders and others, and
(l)	the general review of the Corporation's results of operations.

21.

The Board considers that certain decisions are sufficiently important that management should seek prior approval of the Board. Such decisions include:

(a)	approval of the annual capital budget and any material changes to the operating budget,
(b)	approval of the Corporation's business plan and monitoring performance,
(c)	acquisition of, or investments in, new business,
(d)	changes in the nature of the Corporation's business,
(e)	changes in senior management, and
(f)	all matters as required under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario).

Position Descriptions

There are no written position descriptions for the chair of the Board and the chairs of each Board committee. The roles and responsibilities of each Board committee are included in Terms of Reference for each Board committee. It is understood by the Board committee chairs that they are responsible for the overall management, guidance, and functioning of their respective committee. As well, there exists a Corporation Mandate for the Board of Directors, and the chair of the Board understands that it is his role to ensure the overall management, guidance, and functioning of the Board of Directors.

The duties and responsibilities of the President and CEO are included in the Corporation's Consulting Agreement with Patrick Evans including the power and authority to manage, supervise and direct the Corporation's business and affairs, and to undertake such other duties as may, from time to time, be assigned to him by the Board. Such duties and responsibilities are indicated to be subject always to the control and direction of the Board.

Orientation and Continuing Education

Board turnover is relatively rare and, accordingly, the Corporation has not adopted a formalized process of orientation for new Board members. Orientation of new directors is conducted on an as-needed basis.

With respect to current directors, they are kept informed as to matters impacting, or which may impact, the Corporation's operations through reports and presentations at the Board meetings. Directors are also provided the opportunity to meet with senior management and other employees, advisors and other Directors, who can answer any questions that may arise.

Business Conduct Policy

The Corporation has adopted a Business Conduct Policy (May 2006) posted on its website and available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the SEC's website at http://sec.gov/edgar.shtml as an exhibit to the Corporation's annual report on Form 20F for the year ended March 31, 2006.

22.

Shareholders may request copies of the Corporation's Business Conduct Policy by contacting the Corporation at 401 Bay Street, Suite 2700, P.O. Box 152, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5H 2Y4, by mail, or by telephone at 416-361-3562.

Annually, the Corporation's officers and key consultants provide their recognition of the current policy and understanding of its importance. The Business Conduct Policy provides guidance to the directors and officers individually, and to the Board as a whole, to ensure the exercise of independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements where a director or officer might have a material interest. Having an independent director, Jonathan Comerford, as the chair of the Board, also helps to ensure independent judgment and to encourage and promote a culture of ethical business conduct.

The Board considers 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 an interest are sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Corporation.

Nomination of Directors

Board turnover is relatively rare and accordingly the Board does not have a nominating committee or a formal procedure with respect to the nomination of directors. The Board as a whole assesses the performance and qualification of directors and assesses and recommends potential nominees to the Board, as needed. The nominees are generally the result of recruitment efforts by the Board members, including both formal and informal discussions among Board members.

Assessments

The board of directors monitors the adequacy of information given to directors, communication between the board and management and the strategic direction and processes of the Board and Committees.

Board Committees

Committees of the Board are in integral part of the Corporation's governance structure. There are three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Corporate Governance Committee - established to devote the necessary expertise and resources to particular areas, and to enhance the quality of discussion at Board meetings. The Committees facilitate effective Board decision-making by providing recommendations to the Board on matters within their respective responsibilities. The Board believes that the Committees assist in the effective functioning of the Board and that the composition of the Committees should ensure that the views of unrelated and independent directors are effectively represented.

Each of these committees is comprised solely of non-management directors, each of whom is also independent. The committees, their mandates and memberships are outlined below.

23.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee, in consultation with the President of the Corporation, reviews and recommends to the Board for approval all matters relating to compensation of executives of the Corporation. The Compensation Committee has no formal compensation policy. The Compensation Committee monitors the performance of senior management generally. Executive officers are compensated in a manner consistent with their respective contributions to the overall benefit of the Corporation.

However, compensation matters may also be reviewed and approved by the Corporation's entire board of directors.

Executive compensation is based on a combination of factors, including a comparative review of information provided to the Compensation Committee by compensation consultants, recruitment agencies and auditors as well as historical precedent

During the most recently completed financial year, the Compensation Committee did not formally meet, but communicated by telephone or email in consideration of the granting of stock options to directors and Named Executive Officers, and the Committee's recommendation to the Board thereof in November 2008.

The Committee is composed of Jonathan Comerford, Carl Verley (Chair) and David Whittle, all of whom are independent directors.

Corporate Governance Committee

The Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for developing the approach of the Corporation to the matters of corporate governance including the mandate, size and composition of the Board and its committees, and assessing the effectiveness of the Board, its members and the committees of the Board. During the most recently completed financial year, the Corporate Governance Committee did not meet. The Committee is composed of Harry Dobson, Elizabeth Kirkwood (Chair), and Carl Verley, all of whom are independent directors.

Audit Committee

Audit Committee Charter

The text of the Corporation's Audit Committee Charter is attached as Schedule 'A' to this Information Circular.

The Audit Committee meets with the independent auditors to review and inquire into matters affecting financial reporting matters, the system of internal accounting and financial controls and procedures, and the audit procedures and audit plans. The Audit Committee also recommends to the Board the auditors to be appointed. In addition, the Audit Committee reviews and recommends to the Board for approval the annual financial statements, the annual report and certain other documents required by regulatory authorities. During the most recently completed financial year, the Audit Committee met four times.

24.

Composition of the Audit Committee

As of the date hereof, the Audit Committee is composed of David Whittle (Chair), Jonathan Comerford, and Peeyush Varshney, all of whom are independent directors. All of the members of the Audit Committee are financially literate within the meaning of Section 1.6 of NI 52-110.

Relevant Education and Experience

David Whittle, Chair of the Audit Committee, is a Canadian-qualified Chartered Accountant in good standing with sixteen years' experience as a director and senior executive and financial officer of various public companies listed in both Canada and the United States. Jonathan Comerford has a Masters in Business from the Michael Smurfit Business School and a Bachelor of Economics from University College, Dublin, and serves as Investment Manager at International Investment and Underwriting. Peeyush Varshney has a Bachelor of Commerce university degree and extensive executive experience with several public companies.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit services to be provided to the Corporation by its independent auditors. The Audit Committee's policy regarding the pre-approval of non-audit services to be provided to the Corporation by its independent auditors is that all such services shall be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. Non-audit services that are prohibited to be provided to the Corporation by its independent auditors may not be pre-approved. In addition, prior to the granting of any pre-approval, the Audit Committee must be satisfied that the performance of the services in question will not compromise the independence of the independent auditors. Since the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, all non-audit services, performed by the Corporation's auditor, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, have been pre-approved by the Audit Committee of the Corporation. No non-audit services were approved pursuant to the de minimis exemption to the pre-approval requirement.

Audit Fees

"Audit Fees" are the aggregate fees billed by KPMG for the audit of the Corporation's consolidated annual financial statements, assistance with interim financial statements, attestation services that are provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, services associated with registration statements, prospectuses, periodic reports and other documents filed with securities regulatory bodies and stock exchanges and other documents issued in connection with securities offerings and admissions to trading, and assistance in responding to comment letters from securities regulatory bodies, and consultations with the Corporation's management as to accounting or disclosure treatment of transactions or events and/or the actual or potential impact of final or proposed rules, standards or interpretations by the securities regulatory authorities, accounting standard setting bodies, or other regulatory or standard-setting bodies.

Aggregate audit fees billed in fiscal 2009 by KPMG were $75,000, and the Corporation was billed $57,978 for the fiscal year 2008. All such fees were approved by the Audit Committee.

25.

Audit-Related Fees

"Audit-Related Fees" are fees that are or would be charged by KPMG for presentations or training on accounting or regulatory pronouncements, due diligence services related to accounting and tax matters in connection with potential acquisitions/dispositions, advice and documentation assistance with respect to internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures of the Corporation, and if applicable, audits of financial statements of a Corporation's employee benefit plan.

"Audit Related Fees" charged by KPMG during the fiscal period ended March 31, 2009 were $nil and $nil for March 31, 2008.

Tax Fees

"Tax Fees" are fees for professional services rendered by KPMG for tax compliance, tax advice on actual or contemplated transactions.

Aggregate tax fees billed in fiscal 2008 by KPMG were $18,695 (2008 - $nil) pertaining to tax compliance. These services were approved by the Audit Committee.

All Other Fees

There were no other fees charged by KPMG during the fiscal periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

RESPONSE TO SHAREHOLDERS

The Corporation communicates regularly with its shareholders and maintains a website at www.mountainprovince.com. Management is available to shareholders to respond to questions and concerns. The Board believes that management's communications with shareholders, and the avenues available to shareholders and others interested in the Corporation to have their inquiries about the Corporation answered, are responsive and effective.

If you have issues, questions or comments which you would like to have considered by your directors at the Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders, please advise us at: Corporate Secretary, Mountain Province Diamonds Inc., 401 Bay Street, Suite 2700, PO Box 152, Toronto, Ontario M5H 2Y4; through info@mountainprovince.com; or by fax to 416-603-8565.

EXPECTATIONS AND ACCOUNTABILITY OF MANAGEMENT

The Board's access to information relating to the operations of the Corporation, through the membership on the Board of Directors of a key member of management, and the attendance of the CFO and Corporate Secretary at Board meetings, are key elements to the effective and informed functioning of the Board of the Corporation.

The Board is directly involved in setting and approving goals and plans and monitoring performance. This process establishes clear expectations of management and accountability for results. The Board expects the Corporation's management to take the initiative in identifying

26.

opportunities and risks affecting the Corporation's business and finding ways to deal with these opportunities and risks for the benefit of the Corporation. The Board is confident that the Corporation's management responds ably to this expectation.

PARTICULARS OF OTHER MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Amendment to Stock Option Plan

The Corporation's stock option plan (the "Plan") was established on November 26, 1998 and later amended on September 27, 2002. The Board shall, from time to time and in its sole discretion, determine the eligibility of those directors, employees and other persons who provide ongoing services to the Corporation, who are eligible to participate under the Plan. The Board believes that stock options provide an effective tool for the Corporation to enable it to attract and retain key personnel in the face of competition from larger companies.

The Plan, as currently drafted, provides that the aggregate maximum number of shares available for purchase pursuant to options granted under the Plan may not exceed 3,677,300 shares, which is equal to 5.8% of the Corporation currently issued and outstanding shares. Currently, there are 1,134,635 shares issuable pursuant to options granted under the Plan representing 1.8% of the Corporation's issued and outstanding common shares.

The material terms of the Plan are as follows:

1. In no case may the issuance of shares under the Plan and any other share compensation arrangement of the Corporation result in:

27.

(a)	the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted:
	(i)	to insiders exceeding 10% of the Corporation's issued and outstanding share capital; or
	(ii)	to any one person exceeding 5% of the Corporation's issued and outstanding share capital;
(b)	the number of shares issued within a one year period:
	(i)	to insiders exceeding 10% of the Corporation's issued and outstanding share capital; or
	(ii)	to any one insider and its associates exceeding 5% of the Corporation's issued and outstanding share capital.

2.	The exercise price of any option issued under the Plan shall not be less than the market value of the Corporation's Shares as of the date of the grant. The market value of the Corporation's shares shall be determined in accordance with the Plan, but in any event shall not be less than the closing price of the shares on the TSX on the business day immediately prior to the date of the grant. if the Corporation's shares are not listed on an organized trading facility, then the market value will be, subject to the necessary approvals of the applicable regulatory authorities, that value as is determined by resolution of the Board.
3.	Subject to all applicable securities laws and regulations and the rules and policies of all applicable regulatory authorities, the Board may attach terms and conditions to a grant of option under the Plan. These terms and conditions may include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following:
	(a)	providing that an option expires on a specified date after the option holder ceases to be a director or employee of the Corporation or ceases to provide services to the Corporation;
	(b)	providing that a portion or portions of an option vest after certain periods of time or expire after certain periods of time; and
	(c)	providing that an option be exercisable immediately, in full, notwithstanding that it has vesting provisions, upon the occurrence of certain events, such as a friendly or hostile takeover bid for the Corporation.
4.	The expiry date of an option under the Plan shall be the date so fixed by the Board on the date of the grant, provided such expiry date shall be no later than the tenth anniversary of the date of the grant.
5.	Options issued under the Plan may not be assigned or transferred.

28.

6. The Board may from time to time amend the Plan and the terms and conditions of any option granted under the Plan and, without limitation, may make amendments for the purpose of meeting any changes in any relevant law, rule or regulation applicable to the Plan, or for any other purpose which may be permitted by all relevant laws, regulations, rules and policies provided that any such amendment shall not alter the terms or conditions of any option issued under the Plan or impair any right of any option holder pursuant to any option awarded prior to such amendment.

On August 7, 2009, the Board passed a resolution approving certain amendments (the "Amendments" to the Plan (the "Amended Plan"), subject to shareholder and regulatory approval. The Amendments provide for the following:

(a)	Implementation of a "rolling" stock option plan. The Corporation will now maintain a "rolling" stock option plan rather than a fixed number stock option plan, such that the maximum number of shares that may be reserved for issuance under the Plan will be 10% of the Corporation's issued and outstanding shares at the time of the grant. 10% of the number of shares of the Corporation outstanding as of the date of this Information Circular is equal to 6,309,774 common shares. As indicated above, prior to the Amendments, the Plan was a fixed number stock option plan which provided that a fixed maximum number of shares could be issued pursuant to the exercise of stock options granted under the Plan.
	Under a fixed number stock option plan, as stock options are granted under the plan, the number of stock options available for future grants is reduced by an amount equal to the number of stock options granted. It therefore becomes necessary from time to time to replenish the number of stock options available under the plan in order to be able to continue utilizing the plan. The Board believes that a "rolling" stock option plan is in the best interests of the Corporation as it accomplishes the same principal goal as a fixed number stock option plan, that being aligning the interests of the Corporation's directors, officers, employees and consultants with those of the Corporation's shareholders and will allow for greater flexibility in the number of shares available under the Plan and reduce the administrative time and costs associated with the Plan, since the Plan will be easier to administer;
(b)	Cashless Exercise Mechanism. A mechanism shall be included in the Amended Plan to provide for a cashless exercise of options such that, in the event of a bona fide offer (an "Offer") for common shares of the Corporation made to holders of options, or to shareholders of the Corporation generally, or to a class of shareholders which includes the option holders, which Offer, if accepted in whole or in part, would result in the offeror becoming a control person of the Corporation, within the meaning given to "control person" in the Securities Act (Ontario), any optionee may surrender his or her options to the Corporation and receive a payment equal to the difference between the option price and the offer price under the Offer; and

29.

(c)	Amendments Not Requiring Shareholder Approval The Amended Plan provides for specific circumstances where the Board may, subject to regulatory approval, amend or revise the terms of the Amended Plan or any option without obtaining shareholder approval, provided that, in the case of any option, no such amendment or revision may, without the consent of the optionee, materially decrease the rights or benefits accruing to such optionee or materially increase the obligations of such optionee. Those circumstances are as follows:
	(i)	amendments of a "housekeeping" nature including, but not limited to, of a clerical, grammatical or typographical nature;
	(ii)	amendments respecting the administration of the Amended Plan;
	(iii)	to correct any defect, supply any information or reconcile any inconsistency in the Amended Plan in such manner and to such extent as shall be deemed necessary or advisable to carry out the purposes of the Amended Plan;
	(iv)	a change to the vesting provisions of any option or the Amended Plan;
	(v)	any amendment to the termination provisions of the Amended Plan or any option, other than an amendment extending the term of an option, provided any such amendment does not entail an extension of the expiry date of such option beyond its original expiry date;
	(vi)	amendments to reflect any changes in requirements of any regulator or stock exchange to which the Corporation is subject;
	(vii)	in the case of any option, the substitution of another award of the same or different type;
	(viii)	in the case of any option, such amendments or revisions to the adjustment provisions of the Amended Plan;
	(ix)	a change to the class of eligible persons that may participate under the Amended Plan.; and
	(x)	any other amendments, whether fundamental or otherwise, not requiring shareholder or regulatory approval under applicable law.
	In all other circumstances, the Corporation will be required to obtain the approval of shareholders before making any other amendments to the Amended Plan. The purpose of this amendment is to provide the Board and the Corporation with certainty as to the requirements of obtaining shareholder approval when proposing amendments to the Amended Plan or any option. In addition, this proposed amendment is consistent with the TSX Guidelines which now require that a security-based compensation arrangement specifically provide for those

30.

	circumstances where security holder approval is not required for certain amendments to an option plan or option.
(d)	Change of Jurisdiction. Certain minor administrative and house keeping revisions to the Plan have been made to reflect the Corporation's change of registered office from British Columbia to Ontario.

A copy of the Amended Plan is attached hereto as Schedule 'B'.

Adoption of the Amended Plan is subject to the prior approval of the TSX.

At the Meeting, the shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, approve a resolution to approve the Amended Plan, the text of which is as follows:

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

1.	the Amendments to the Plan be and are hereby approved, confirmed and ratified;
2.	all unallocated options issuable pursuant to the Amended Plan are hereby approved and authorized until September 10, 2012;
3.	any one director or officer of the Corporation be and is hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver on behalf of the Corporation all such documents and instruments and to do all such other acts and things as in his or her opinion may be necessary or desirable in connection with the foregoing; and
4.	the Amended Plan shall require re-approval of the shareholders of the Corporation at the annual shareholders' meeting held in the year 2012, provided, however, that such shareholders' meeting shall be held no later than September 10, 2012.

INSIDERS TO WHOM SHARES MAY BE ISSUED UNDER THE AMENDED PLAN, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSOCIATES AND AFFILIATES, WILL ABSTAIN FROM VOTING ON THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION, THE APPROVAL OF A MAJORITY OF DISINTERESTED SHAREHOLDER OF THE CORPORATION IS THEREFORE SOUGHT.

A total of 1,797,247 shares of the Corporation will be excluded from the shareholder vote with respect to the Amended Plan.

Assignment of Options

3.8

Adjustments

If, prior to the complete exercise of any Option, the Shares are consolidated, subdivided, converted, exchanged or reclassified or in any way substituted for (collectively the "Event"), an Option, to the extent that it has not been exercised, shall be adjusted by the Board in accordance with such Event in the manner the Board deems appropriate. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of the Options and accordingly, if as a result of the Event, an Option Holder would become entitled to a fractional share, such Option Holder shall have the right to purchase only the next lowest whole number of shares and no payment or other adjustment will be made with respect to the fractional interest so disregarded.

3.9

Approvals

This Plan and any amendments hereto are subject to all necessary approvals of the applicable Regulatory Authorities.

Exercise of Options

An Option may be exercised only by the Option Holder or the Personal Representative of any Option Holder. An Option Holder or the Personal Representative of any Option Holder may exercise an Option in whole or in part at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period up to 4:00 p.m. local time in Toronto, Ontario on the Expiry Date by delivering to the Administrator an Exercise Notice, the applicable Option Certificate and a certified cheque or bank draft payable to the Company in an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Option. Alternately, the Option Holder may arrange for a member broker firm of The Toronto Stock Exchange to deliver a cheque against delivery of the Shares purchased.

4.2

Issue of Share Certificates

As soon as practicable following the receipt of the Exercise Notice, the Administrator shall cause to be delivered to the Option Holder a certificate for the Shares so purchased and if the Option has not been completely exercised, the Administrator shall concurrently forward a new Option Certificate to the Option Holder for the balance of Shares available under the Option.

7.

4.3

Condition of Issue

The Options and the issue of Shares by the Company pursuant to the exercise of Options are subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan and to compliance with the applicable securities laws, regulations, rules and policies of the Regulatory Authorities. The Option Holder agrees to comply with all such laws, regulations, rules and policies and agrees to furnish to the Company any information, report and/or undertakings required to comply with, and to fully cooperate with the Company in complying with, such laws, regulations, rules and policies.

4.4

Cashless Exercise

4.4.1

If a bona fide offer (an "Offer") for Shares is made by an offeror (an "Offeror") to an Option Holder or to shareholders of the Company generally or to a class of shareholders which includes the Option Holder, which Offer, if accepted in whole or in part, would result in the Offeror becoming a control person of the Company, within the meaning given to "control person" in the Securities Act (Ontario), the Company will, immediately upon receipt of notice of the Offer, notify each Option Holder of full particulars of the Offer, whereupon all Shares subject to such Option will become vested and the Option may be exercised in whole or in part by the Option Holder so as to permit the Option Holder to tender the Shares received upon such exercise, pursuant to the Offer. However, if:

(a)	the Offer is not completed within the time specified therein; or
(b)	all of the Shares tendered by the Option Holder pursuant to the Offer are not taken up or paid for by the Offeror in respect thereof,

then the Shares received upon such exercise, or in the case of Section 4.4.1(b) hereof, the Shares that are not taken up and paid for, may be returned by the Option Holder to the Company and reinstated as authorized but unissued Shares and with respect to such returned Shares, the Option will be reinstated as if it had not been exercised and the terms upon which such Shares were to become vested pursuant to this Section will be reinstated. If any Shares are returned to the Company under this Section 4.4, the Company will immediately refund the exercise price to the Option Holder for such Shares.

4.4.2	In any case where an Option is exercisable in the circumstances set out in Section 4.4.1, the Option Holder shall be entitled, but not obligated, to send a written notice to the Company of its election to surrender all of its Options, so as to allow for a "cashless exercise". Upon receipt of such written notice by the Company, each Option Holder shall be entitled to surrender its Option to the Company, and shall be entitled to receive:
	(a)	in the event that the Offer is in cash, an amount equal to the product of the number of shares held under option and the difference between the exercise price of each option held and the Offer price; or

8.

(b) in the event that the Offer is in securities of the Offeror, that number of securities as equals the value of the product of the number of shares held under option and the difference between the exercise price of each option held and the Offer consideration; such value per share determined by the following formula: A x (X-Y)
     X
  Where: A is the number of Options tendered to the Offer; X is the Offeror Market Value multiplied by the exchange ratio as specified in the Offer; Y is the exercise price of the subject Options;
Provided however, that in the circumstances set out in subsections 4.4.1(a) or 4.4.1(b), the Option shall be reinstated in the manner set out in the last paragraph of Section 4.4.1, adopted mutatis mutandis. For the purposes of this section, "Offeror Market Value" means the volume weighted average trading price of the Offeror's securities on the Toronto Stock Exchange, or such other stock exchange where the majority of the trading volume and value of the Offeror's listed securities occurs, for the five trading days immediately preceding the public announcement of the Offer.

ARTICLE 5
ADMINISTRATION

5.1

Administration

The Plan shall be administered by the Administrator on the instructions of the Board. The Board may make, amend and repeal at any time and from time to time such regulations not inconsistent with the Plan as it may deem necessary or advisable for the proper administration and operation of the Plan and such regulations shall form part of the Plan. The Board may delegate to the Administrator, to any Director, officer or employee of the Company or to a committee consisting of such persons such administrative duties and powers as it may see fit.

5.2

Interpretation

The interpretation by the Board of any of the provisions of the Plan and any determination by it pursuant thereto shall be final and conclusive and shall not he subject to any dispute by any Option Holder. No member of the Board or any personal acting pursuant to authority delegated by it hereunder shall be liable for any action or determination in connection with the Plan made or taken in good faith and each member of the Board and each such person shall be entitled to indemnification with respect to any such action or determination in the manner provided for by the Company.

9.

5.3

Status of Options granted under Previous Plans

Any existing options granted prior to the implementation of this Plan will remain subject to the plan under which they were granted and such previous plans will remain in effect with respect to such options so long as such options remain outstanding.

ARTICLE 6
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

6.1

Amendment

The Board may, subject to where Regulatory Authority approval and shareholder approval is required, amend the Plan at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board is specifically authorized to amend or revise the terms of the Plan or any Option without obtaining shareholder approval in the following circumstances, provided that, in the case of any Option, no such amendment or revision may, without the consent of the Option Holder, materially decrease the rights or benefits accruing to such Option Holder or materially increase the obligations of such Option Holder:

(a)	amendments of a "housekeeping" nature including, but not limited to, of a clerical, grammatical or typographical nature;
(b)	amendments respecting administration of the Plan;
(c)	to correct any defect, supply any information or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan in such manner and to such extent as shall be deemed necessary or advisable to carry out the purposes of the Plan;
(d)	a change to the vesting provisions of any Option or the Plan;
(e)	any amendment to the termination provisions of the Plan or any Option, other than an amendment extending the term of an Option, provided any such amendment does not entail an extension of the Expiry Date of such Option beyond its original Expiry Date;
(f)	amendments to reflect any changes in requirements of any Regulatory Authority to which the Company is subject;
(g)	in the case of any Option, the substitution of another award of the same or different type;
(h)	in the case of any Option, such amendments or revisions contemplated in section 3.8 of the Plan;
(i)	a change to the class of eligible persons that may participate under the Plan; and

10.

(j) any other amendments, whether fundamental or otherwise, not requiring shareholder approval under applicable law (including without limitation, the rules, regulations and policies of the Regulatory Authorities).

For greater certainty, the Exercise Price of any outstanding Option granted to any non-insiders of the Company may not be reduced unless shareholder approval is obtained by way of a resolution passed by a majority of the votes cast by the Company's shareholders at a meeting of the Company's shareholders. The Exercise Price of any outstanding Option granted may not be reduced and the original Exercise Period may not be extended to the benefit of insiders of the Company unless disinterested shareholder approval is obtained in accordance with the requirements of the Regulatory Authorities.

6.2

Retrospective Amendment

The Board may from time to time, subject to any necessary approvals of the Regulatory Authorities, retrospectively amend the Plan and, with the consent of the affected Option Holders, retrospectively amend the terms and conditions of any Options which have been previously granted.

6.3

Termination

The Board may terminate the Plan at any time provided that any Option awarded prior to the date of such termination and the rights of the Option Holder of such Option shall continue to be governed by the provisions of the Plan.

6.4

Agreement

The Company and every Option awarded hereunder shall be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. By accepting an Option granted hereunder, the Option Holder has expressly agreed with the Company to be bound by the terms of the Plan.
