INFORMATION CIRCULAR

(As at June 26th, 2007 except as indicated)

For the Annual General Meeting to be Held on July 31st, 2007



This Information Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of DORATO RESOURCES INC. (the “Company”) for use at our annual general meeting (the “Meeting”) of our shareholders to be held on Tuesday, July 31st, 2007 at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.


PERSONS OR COMPANIES MAKING THE SOLICITATION


The enclosed Form of Proxy is solicited by our Management.  Solicitations will be made by mail and possibly supplemented by telephone or other personal contact to be made without special compensation by our regular officers and employees.  We may reimburse shareholders’ nominees or agents (including brokers holding shares on behalf of clients) for the cost incurred in obtaining authorization from their principals to execute the Form of Proxy.  No solicitation will be made by specifically engaged employees or soliciting agents.  The cost of solicitation will be borne by us.  None of our directors have advised that they intend to oppose any action intended to be taken by management as set forth in this Information Circular.


APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES


The persons named in the accompanying Form of Proxy are our directors.  If you wish to appoint some other person (who need not be a shareholder) to represent you at the Meeting you may do so, either by striking out the printed names and inserting the desired person's name in the blank space provided in the Form of Proxy or by completing another proper Form of Proxy and in either case delivering the completed Proxy to our office at #507, 837 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 3N6, not less forty-eight (48) hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time fixed for the Meeting or with the Chairman of the Meeting prior to the scheduled commencement of the meeting.


The Form of Proxy must be dated and be signed by you or by your attorney in writing, or, if the shareholder is a corporation, it must either be under its common seal or signed by a duly authorized officer.


In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, you may revoke a Proxy either by (a) signing a Form of Proxy bearing a later date and depositing it at the place and within the time aforesaid, or (b) signing and dating a written notice of revocation (in the same manner as the Form of Proxy is required to be executed as set out in the notes to the Form of Proxy) and either depositing it at the place and within the time aforesaid or with the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or on the day of any adjournment thereof, or (c) registering with the Scrutineer at the Meeting as a shareholder present in person, whereupon such Proxy shall be deemed to have been revoked.


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.


NON-REGISTERED HOLDERS


Only registered shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting.  Most shareholders 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 company 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 that person (the “Non-Registered Holder”) but which are registered either: (a) in the name of an intermediary (an “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 RRSP’s, 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, we have distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting, this Information Circular and the Form of Proxy (collectively, the “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 form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number of shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Holder but which is otherwise not completed.  Because the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the Non- Registered Holder when submitting the proxy. In this case, the Non-Registered Holder who wishes to submit a proxy should otherwise properly complete the form of proxy and deliver it to the offices of the Company, 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 company, 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 form accompanied by a page of instructions, which contains a removable label containing a bar code and other information.  In order for the form of proxy to validly constitute a proxy authorization form, the Non-Registered Holder must remove the label from the instructions and affix it to the form of proxy, properly complete and sign the form of proxy and return it to the Intermediary or its service company in accordance with the instructions of the Intermediary or its service company.


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 proxyholders 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.


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


VOTING OF PROXIES


THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY PROXY WILL BE VOTED OR WITHHELD FROM VOTING BY THE PROXY HOLDER IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR INSTRUCTIONS ON ANY BALLOT THAT MAY BE CALLED FOR AND, IF YOU SPECIFY A CHOICE WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER TO BE ACTED UPON, THE SHARES WILL BE VOTED ACCORDINGLY.


IF A CHOICE WITH RESPECT TO SUCH MATTERS IS NOT SPECIFIED, IT IS INTENDED THAT THE PERSON DESIGNATED BY MANAGEMENT IN THE FORM OF PROXY WILL VOTE THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THE PROXY IN FAVOUR OF EACH MATTER IDENTIFIED IN THE PROXY AND FOR THE NOMINEES OF MANAGEMENT FOR DIRECTORS AND AUDITORS.  The Proxy confers discretionary authority upon the named proxyholder with respect to amendments to or variations in matters identified in the accompanying Notice of Meeting and other matters which may properly come before the Meeting.


The enclosed Form of Proxy, when properly completed and delivered and not revoked, confers discretionary authority upon the persons appointed proxyholders 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, our management knows of no such amendment, variation or other matter which may be presented to the Meeting.


INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON


Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this Information Circular, none of our directors or senior officers, no proposed nominee for election as a director, none of the persons who have been directors or senior officers of the Company since the commencement of the Company’s last completed financial year and no associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing persons has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting, other than the 2007 Stock Option Plan pursuant to which the directors and officers may receive incentive stock options.


VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES


We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 common shares without par value, of which 4,618,187 common shares were issued and outstanding as of the Record Date.


At our general meeting, on a show of hands, every shareholder present in person shall have one vote and, on a poll, every shareholder shall have one vote for each share of which he is the holder.


Only shareholders of record on the close of business on the record date, being June 26th, 2007, who either personally attend the Meeting or who complete and deliver an Form of Proxy in the manner and subject to the provisions set out under the heading "Appointment and Revocation of Proxies" will be entitled to have his or her shares voted at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.


To the knowledge of our directors and senior officers, there are no persons who beneficially own, directly or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over, voting securities carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to our voting securities.


As of the 26th day of June, 2007, our current directors and senior officers as a group, directly and indirectly, controlled 1,295,221 of our common shares.

AUDIT COMMITTEE


Under Multilateral Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees (“MI 52-110”) a reporting issuer in those jurisdictions that have adopted MI 52-110 is required to provide disclosure with respect to its audit committee including the text of the audit committee’s charter, composition of the committee, and the fees paid to the external auditor.  Accordingly, we provide the following disclosure with respect to our audit committee:


Relationship with Auditors


MI 52-110 requires us to disclose annually in our information circular certain information relating to our Audit Committee and its relationship with our independent auditors.


Audit Committee Charter


The Audit Committee Charter is annexed hereto as Schedule “A”.


Composition of the Audit Committee


Our Audit Committee is comprised of Anton J. Drescher, Gerhard Drescher and Rowland Perkins.  As defined in MI 52-110, Rowland Perkins is independent.  Also as defined in MI 52-110, all of the audit committee members are “financially literate”.  Anton J. Drescher, Gerhard Drescher and Rowland Perkins have the industry experience necessary to understand and analyze financial statements of the level of complexity of the Company, as well as the understanding of internal controls and procedures necessary for financial reporting.


Audit Committee Oversight


Since the commencement of our most recently completed fiscal year, our Board of Directors has not failed to adopt a recommendation of the Audit Committee to nominate or compensate an external auditor.


Reliance on Certain Exemptions


Since the commencement of our most recently completed financial year and the effective date of MI 52-110, we have not relied on the exemptions contained in sections 2.4 or 8 of MI 52-110. Section 2.4 provides an exemption from the requirement that the audit committee must pre-approve all non-audit services to be provided by the auditors, where the total amount of fees related to the non-audit services are not expected to exceed 5% of the total amount of fees payable to the auditor in the fiscal year in which the non-audit services were provided.


Section 8 permits a company to apply to a securities regulatory authority for an exemption from the requirements of MI 52-110, in whole or in part.


Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures


We have not adopted specific policies and procedures for the engagement of non-audit services. The Audit Committee will review the engagement of non-audit services as required.


Exemption


We are relying on the exemption provided by Part 6.1 of MI 52-110 for Venture Issuers which allows for an exemption from Part 3 (Composition of the Audit Committee) and Part 5 (Reporting Obligations) of MI 52-110 and allows for the short form of disclosure of audit committee procedures set out in Form 52-110F2 and disclosed in this Information Circular.

Stock Option Plan


Our Board of Directors wish to adopt a new stock option plan (the “2007 Stock Option Plan”), subject to acceptance by our shareholders.


The purpose of the 2007 Stock Option Plan is to allow us to grant options to our directors, officers, employees and service providers, as additional compensation, and as an opportunity to participate in the profitability of the Company.  The granting of such options is intended to align the interests of such persons with that of the Company.


The number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2007 Stock Option Plan shall be 10% of our issued share capital as at the date of granting.  We do not presently have any outstanding stock options.


If the 2007 Stock Option Plan is not adopted, options will be granted and amended from time to time, subject to shareholder approval as required.


Our Board of Directors may grant options pursuant to the 2007 Stock Option Plan prior to the annual general meeting, on the basis that such options will not be exercisable unless and until the 2007 Stock Option Plan has been approved by the shareholders.


A copy of the proposed 2007 Stock Option Plan is attached hereto as Schedule “B”.


Accordingly, the shareholders of the Company will be asked at the Meeting to pass an ordinary resolution, the text of which will be in substantially the form as follows:

DORATO RESOURCES INC.


CHARTER OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS


1.      PURPOSE


The Audit Committee (the "Committee") of Dorato Resources Inc. (“Dorato”) is a committee of the Board of Directors with the responsibility under the governing legislation of Dorato to review the financial statements, accounting policies and reporting procedures of Dorato.


The primary function of the Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by reviewing the financial reports and other financial information provided by Dorato to any governmental body or the public, the systems of internal controls of Dorato regarding finance, accounting and legal compliance that management and the Board have established, and the auditing, accounting and financial reporting processes of Dorato generally. Consistent with this function, the Committee should encourage continuous improvement of, and should foster adherence to, the policies, procedures and practices at all levels of Dorato.


The primary duties and responsibilities of the Committee are to:


Serve as an independent and objective party to monitor the financial reporting process and the system of internal controls of Dorato.


Monitor the independence and performance of the auditor of Dorato (the “Auditor”) and the internal audit function of Dorato.


Provide an open avenue of communication among the Auditor, financial and senior management and the Board of Directors.


The Committee will primarily fulfill these responsibilities by carrying out the activities set out in Section 4 of this Charter.


2.      COMPOSITION


The Committee shall be comprised of two or more directors as determined by the Board of Directors.  The composition of the Committee shall adhere to all applicable corporate and securities laws and all requirements of the stock exchanges on which shares of Dorato are listed.  In particular, the composition of the Committee shall be in accordance with Multilateral Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees, and the required qualifications and experience of the members of the Committee, subject to any exemptions or other relief that may be granted from time to time.


All members of the Committee shall have a working familiarity with basic finance and accounting practices, and at least one member of the Committee shall be a "financial expert" in accordance with applicable laws and all requirements of the stock exchanges on which shares of Dorato are listed.


Members of the Committee shall be elected by the Board at the meeting of the Board held immediately after the annual meeting of shareholders or such other times as shall be determined by the Board and shall serve until the next such meeting or until their successors shall be duly elected and qualified.


Any member of the Committee may be removed or replaced at any time by the Board of Directors and shall cease to be a member of the Committee as soon as such member ceases to be a director.  Subject to the foregoing, each member of the Committee shall hold such office until the next annual meeting of shareholders after his or her election as a member of the Committee.


The members of the Committee shall be entitled to receive such remuneration for acting as members of the Committee as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine.


3.      MEETINGS


The Committee may appoint one of its members to act as Chairman of the Committee.  The Chairman will appoint a secretary who will keep minutes of all meetings (the "Secretary").  The Secretary does not have to be a member of the Committee or a director and can be changed by written notice from the Chairman.
