          The directors of Crosshair believe that the creation of two separate public companies dedicated to the pursuit of their respective businesses will focus the efforts of each company, and provide Crosshair’s Shareholders with additional investment choices and enhanced flexibility.

          After careful consideration, the Board of Directors has unanimously determined that the Arrangement is fair to Shareholders and is in the best interests of Crosshair. A description of the various factors considered by the Board of Directors in arriving at this determination is contained in the enclosed Information Circular. The Board of Directors of Crosshair unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement.

          The attached Notice of Annual and Special Meeting and Information Circular contain a detailed description of the business to be transacted at the Meeting and include certain other information to assist you in considering the matters to be voted upon. You are urged to read this material carefully and, if you require assistance, to consult your financial or other professional advisors. As explained more fully in the attached Information Circular, in addition to approval by Shareholders, completion of the Arrangement is subject to certain conditions and receipt of all applicable regulatory and court approvals.

          If you are a registered Shareholder and unable to be present at the Meeting in person, we encourage you to vote by completing the applicable enclosed form(s) of proxy. Your vote is important regardless of the number of securities you own. You should specify your choice by marking the box on the applicable enclosed form of proxy and by dating, signing and returning the applicable form of proxy in the appropriate return envelope addressed to Computershare Investor Services Inc. to be received at least 48 hours prior to the time of the Meeting. Please do this as soon as possible. Voting by proxy will not prevent you from voting in person if you attend the Meeting, but will ensure that your vote will be counted if you are unable to attend.

          If you are a non-registered Shareholder of Crosshair and received these materials through your broker or another intermediary, please complete and return the materials in accordance with the instructions provided to you by your broker or such other intermediary.

          We consider the Arrangement an important step in Crosshair’s growth and hope you will be able to attend the Meeting.

 

Yours truly,

(signed) MARK J. MORABITO

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

          Certain information in this Information Circular and the documents incorporated by reference herein constitute “forward-looking statements”. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included herein and in press releases and public statements by our officers or representatives, that address activities, events or developments that management of Crosshair expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such things as future business strategy, competitive strengths, goals, expansion and growth of each of Crosshair’s and Gemini’s business, legal proceedings, estimated completion dates, estimated exploration expenditures, operations, mineral resources, current working capital, cash operating costs, plans and other such matters, as well as statements made concerning plans and anticipated effects of the Arrangement are forward-looking statements. The words “estimate”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “expect”, “intend”, “believe”, “target”, “budget”, “may”, “schedule” and similar words or expressions identify forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Crosshair or Gemini, including anticipated consequences of the Arrangement, to be materially different from any results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation, risks related to the Arrangement, including possible non-completion of the Arrangement and the risk that the market price of Crosshair Shares could decrease following the Arrangement. These factors also include risks related to the businesses of Crosshair and Gemini, including risks that Crosshair’s or Gemini’s acquisition, exploration and property advancement efforts will not be commercially successful; risks relating to the uranium industry, the inherently hazardous nature of mining-related activities, uncertainties concerning mineral resource estimates, risks relating to intense competition within the mining industry; dilution caused by future fund raising activities and uncertainties regarding such fund raising activities, the potential success of such activities, the risk that the companies’ directors may have conflicts of interest through their involvement in other natural resource companies, potential challenges to title in the companies’ mineral properties, potential effects on Crosshair’s or Gemini’s operations of environmental and other regulations in the countries in which it operates; risks due to legal proceedings; uncertainty of being able to raise capital on favourable terms or at all; and risks that may affect Crosshair’s ability to complete the proposed Arrangement including risks that Crosshair may be unable to obtain required Shareholder or court approvals. Additional risks for Gemini include, as a newly formed independent company, its lack of operating history; the risk that it may lose key personnel or fail to attract and retain personnel; the risk that Gemini may experience difficulty in growth and managing its growth; the potential lack of adequate liquidity for its shares; and the risks inherent in accurately valuing Gemini Shares. Please see “Risk Factors” below for more information about these and other risks. Shareholders are cautioned against attributing undue certainty to forward looking statements. Although Crosshair has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that these statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in the statements. Crosshair assumes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

NOTICE TO UNITED STATES SECURITYHOLDERS

          Crosshair and Gemini are corporations existing under the laws of British Columbia. The information in this Information Circular relating to Crosshair and Gemini has been prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Canadian corporate and securities laws. The solicitation of proxies made pursuant to this Information Circular is not subject to the requirements of Section 14(a) of the U.S. Exchange Act. The financial statements of Crosshair included herein or incorporated by reference in this Information Circular, as well as the financial information related to Gemini, have been


- ii -

prepared in Canadian dollars and in accordance with Canadian GAAP, are subject to Canadian auditing and auditor independence standards, and thus may not be comparable in all respects to financial statements of U.S. companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Likewise, information concerning the properties and operations of Crosshair and Gemini has been prepared in accordance with Canadian disclosure standards, which are not comparable in all respects to disclosure standards applicable in the United States.

          Mineral resource estimates included and incorporated by reference in this Information Circular were prepared in accordance with the Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument 43-101, which established Canadian standards for public disclosure of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. The requirements of National Instrument 43-101 differ from those of the SEC in a number of material respects, and information concerning descriptions of deposits included and incorporated by reference in this Information Circular may not be comparable to information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC. This Information Circular and the documents incorporated by reference use the term “resources” which is a term not recognized by the SEC. U.S. investors are advised that while “resources” are recognized and required to be disclosed under Canadian securities laws, the SEC does not recognize the term or permit it to be used in filings by U.S. companies. Under U.S. standards, a deposit may not be recognized as a “reserve” unless a determination has been made that it may be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the determination is made. “Resources” are not “reserves” and U.S. investors are cautioned that “resources” may not ever be converted into “reserves”. Further, “resources” classified as “inferred resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and whether they can be mined economically or legally. It cannot be assumed that “inferred resources” will ever be upgraded to a higher category, and U.S. investors should not assume that all or any part of an “inferred resource” exists or can be legally or economically mined.

          Shareholders should be aware that the transactions pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement whereby the share capital of Crosshair will be reorganized and Shareholders will dispose of Crosshair Shares and will receive Crosshair New Shares and Gemini Shares may have tax consequences both in the U.S. and in Canada. Such consequences for investors who are resident in, or citizens of, the U.S. may not be described fully herein. See “Income Tax Considerations United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”. All securityholders should seek their own tax advice with respect to the tax consequences to them under the laws of any relevant domestic or foreign, state, local or other taxing jurisdiction of the transactions contemplated in the Plan of Arrangement in light of their particular situation.

          Enforcement by Crosshair’s and Gemini’s securityholders of civil liabilities under U.S. securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that each of Crosshair and Gemini is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the U.S., that certain of the officers and directors of Crosshair and Gemini are residents of a country other than the U.S., that some of the experts named in the Information Circular are residents of a country other than the U.S., and that a substantial portion of the assets of Crosshair, Gemini and such persons are located outside of the U.S. You may not be able to sue such persons or their officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violations of U.S. securities laws. It may be difficult to compel such parties to subject themselves to the jurisdiction of a court in the U.S. or to enforce a judgment by a court in the U.S.

          The securities of Crosshair and Gemini issuable in connection with the Arrangement have not been approved or disapproved by the SEC or securities regulatory authorities in any state, nor has the SEC or the securities regulatory authorities of any state passed on the adequacy or accuracy of this Information Circular. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence.


- iii -

          The securities of Crosshair and Gemini to be received under the Arrangement have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, and will be issued in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof and in reliance on exemptions from registration under applicable state securities laws. Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act provides an exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities Act for offers and sales of securities issued in exchange for one or more outstanding securities where the terms and conditions of the issuance and exchange of such securities have been approved by a court authorized to grant such approval after a hearing upon the fairness of the terms and conditions of the issuance and exchange at which all persons to whom the securities will be issued have the right to appear. The Court is authorized to conduct a hearing at which the fairness of the terms and conditions of the Arrangement will be considered. The Court issued the Interim Order on August 15, 2008 and, subject to the approval of the Arrangement by the Shareholders, a hearing on the Arrangement will be held on September 19, 2008 at 9:45 a.m. at the Law Courts, 800 Smithe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia. All Shareholders are entitled to appear and be heard at this hearing. The Final Order will constitute the basis for the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereunder, with respect to the securities to be issued to securityholders pursuant to the Arrangement. Prior to the hearing on the Final Order, the Court will be informed of this effect of the Final Order. See “The Arrangement – Court Approval of the Arrangement” in this Information Circular.

          Crosshair has filed a registration statement on Form 20-F with respect to the Crosshair Shares under the U.S. Exchange Act which has become effective. Crosshair is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13(a) of the U.S. Exchange Act. Crosshair and Gemini expect that the securities of Gemini issued pursuant to the Arrangement, other than the Crosshair New Shares, will not be registered under the U.S. Exchange Act in reliance on the exemption from registration under the U.S. Exchange Act provided by Rule 12g3-2(b) thereunder, which will require Gemini to furnish certain information to the SEC as provided by such rule.

          Securities of Crosshair and Gemini received by a holder who will be an “affiliate” of Crosshair or Gemini after the Arrangement, or is an “affiliate” of Crosshair or Gemini prior to the Arrangement, will be subject to certain restrictions on resale imposed by the U.S. Securities Act. As defined in Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act, an “affiliate” of an issuer is a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with the issuer. See “The Arrangement – Resale of Crosshair New Shares and Gemini Shares – Exemption from United States Registration Requirements and Resale Restrictions”.

CURRENCY AND EXCHANGE RATE INFORMATION

          All references to “$” or “dollars” set forth in this Information Circular are in Canadian dollars, except where otherwise indicated.

          The following table sets forth, for each of the years indicated, the year end exchange rate, the average closing rate and the high and low closing exchange rates of one Canadian dollar in exchange for one U.S. dollar as quoted by the Bank of Canada.

The Arrangement

The purpose of the Arrangement is to “spin-out” Crosshair’s gold and volcanic-hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) projects in Newfoundland, the Golden Promise Property, South Golden Promise Property and Victoria Lake Property (together, the “Spin-Off Properties”) into a separate public company, Gemini. The Arrangement will separate the Spin-Off Properties from Crosshair’s other mineral properties located in Newfoundland. Paragon Minerals Corporation (“Paragon”) is the legal holder of an undivided 100% title and interest (subject to certain underlying agreements and joint venture agreements) in the Spin-Off Properties. Pursuant to certain agreements Paragon has granted options to Crosshair to earn a 60% interest in the Spin-Off Properties. Crosshair has fully earned its 60% interest in both the South Golden Promise Property and the Victoria Lake Property and has the right to earn a 60% interest in the Golden Promise Property over a four year period expiring in May 2010. On May 20, 2008, Crosshair, Gemini and Paragon entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement whereby Paragon will transfer all of its interest in the Spin-Off Properties to Gemini in exchange for 16,201,413 Gemini Shares (the “Paragon Purchase and Sale Agreement”). Additionally, pursuant to the Paragon Purchase and Sale Agreement, Paragon may sell up to 1,333,333 of its Gemini Shares concurrently with the Financing (discussed below).

Crosshair’s Board believes that the current market price of the Crosshair Shares does not adequately reflect the underlying value of its properties. In addition, Crosshair believes that the Arrangement will allow Gemini to focus on financing and developing the Spin-Off Properties separately, while reducing stock dilution for Shareholders interested in the more advanced Crosshair assets located in Newfoundland.

Upon completion of the Arrangement, Gemini will acquire all of Crosshair and Paragon’s interests in the Spin-Off Properties and 1,764,700 shares of a public company listed on the TSX-V (“Pubco Shares”, and together with the Spin-Off Properties, the “Spin-Off Assets”). Each Shareholder, other than a Dissenting Shareholder, will ultimately acquire one new common share in the capital of Crosshair (a “Crosshair New Share”) for each Crosshair common share (“Crosshair Share”), and one common share in the capital of Gemini (a “Gemini Share”) for every 5.5 Crosshair Shares, held on the Share Distribution Record Date, where the Crosshair New Shares will be identical in every respect to the present Crosshair Shares. See “The Arrangement – Details of the Arrangement”.

Effect of the Arrangement on Crosshair Options and Warrants

Crosshair Options

Holders of Crosshair options (the “Crosshair Options”) will not receive any new securities in the Arrangement and no adjustments will be made to the terms of the Crosshair Options.

Crosshair Warrants

Holders of Crosshair warrants (the “Crosshair Warrants”) will not receive any new securities in the Arrangement and no adjustments will be made to the terms of the Crosshair Warrants.

Recommendation and Approval of Crosshair’s Board

Crosshair’s Board has reviewed the Arrangement and concluded that the terms of the Arrangement are fair and reasonable to, and in the best interests of, Crosshair and its Shareholders. Accordingly, Crosshair’s Board has approved the Arrangement and authorized the submission of the Arrangement to the Shareholders and the Court for approval. Crosshair’s Board


- 3 -

recommends that Shareholders vote for the approval of the Arrangement. See “The Arrangement - Recommendation of Directors”.

Reasons for the Arrangement

The formation of Gemini to hold the Spin-Off Properties will allow management of Crosshair to focus entirely on the development of the more advanced Central Mineral Belt (CMB) Uranium Project, and free management of Gemini to facilitate separate fund-raising, exploration and mining strategies that will be required to move the exploration stage Spin-Off Properties forward. In addition, Crosshair believes that the creation of two separate public companies dedicated to the pursuit of their respective businesses will focus the efforts of each company, provide Shareholders with additional investment flexibility and also better reflect the value of all of Crosshair’s current assets, including the Spin-Off Assets.

See “The Arrangement – Reasons for the Arrangement”.

Conduct of Meeting and Shareholder Approval

The Interim Order provides that, in order for the Arrangement to proceed, the Arrangement Resolution must be passed, with or without variation, by at least two-thirds of the eligible votes cast at the Meeting by holders of Crosshair Shares. See “The Arrangement – Shareholder Approval”.

If the Arrangement Resolution is not passed by an adequate majority of eligible votes at the Meeting, the Arrangement will not be completed, Crosshair will continue to hold and manage the Spin-Off Assets in the same manner as it presently does, and Gemini will continue as a private company, wholly-owned by Crosshair.

Court Approval

A Plan of Arrangement under the BCBCA requires court approval. Prior to the mailing of this Information Circular, Crosshair obtained an interim order of the Court authorizing the calling and holding of the Meeting and prescribing the conduct of the Meeting (the “Interim Order”) which is attached as Schedule “G” to this Information Circular. The Interim Order, among other things, provides for the calling and holding of the Meeting and caused to be issued the notice of application for the final order of the Court (the “Final Order”). The Interim Order does not constitute approval of the Plan of Arrangement or the contents of the Information Circular by the Court. As set forth in the Interim Order, the hearing in respect of the Final Order is scheduled to take place before the Court on September 19, 2008, at 9:45 a.m. (Vancouver time) at the Law Courts, 800 Smithe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, subject to the adoption of the Plan of Arrangement by Shareholders at the Meeting. The Notice of Hearing of Petition for the Final Order is attached as part of Schedule “G”.

Income Tax Considerations

Canadian federal income tax considerations to Shareholders are summarized herein under “Income Tax Considerations – Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” and United States federal income tax considerations to Shareholders subject to such taxation laws are summarized herein under “Income Tax Considerations – Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”.

Shareholders should carefully review the applicable tax considerations under the Arrangement and are urged to consult their own tax advisors in regard to their particular circumstances.

Right to Dissent

The following description of the rights of Dissenting Shareholders is not a comprehensive statement of the procedures to be followed by a Dissenting Shareholder who seeks payment of the fair value of the Shareholder’s Crosshair Shares, and is qualified in its entirety by the reference to the full text of the relevant provisions of the BCBCA. A registered holder of Crosshair Shares who intends to exercise the right of dissent and appraisal should carefully consider and comply with those provisions of Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCBCA. Failure to comply strictly with those provisions of the BCBCA and to adhere to the procedures established therein may result in a loss of all rights of dissent.

Under the BCBCA and the Interim Order, a registered holder of Crosshair Shares has the right to dissent with respect to the Arrangement by filing a written objection (an “Objection Notice”) to the Arrangement Resolution with the Secretary of Crosshair, at Crosshair’s head office, Suite 1240, 1140 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 4G1, no later than 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on September 10, 2008. If the Arrangement Resolution is passed and Crosshair intends to act or acts upon it, each Dissenting Shareholder will be entitled to be paid by Crosshair the fair value of the securities in respect of which such Dissenting Shareholder dissents, in accordance with section 245 of the BCBCA. Beneficial owners of Crosshair Shares registered in the name of a broker, custodian, nominee or other intermediary who wish to dissent should be aware that only the registered holders of Crosshair Shares are entitled to dissent. Accordingly, a beneficial owner of Crosshair Shares desiring to exercise the right to dissent must make arrangements for the Crosshair Shares beneficially owned by such holder to be registered in his, her or its name prior to the time the written objection to the Arrangement Resolution is required to be received, or alternatively make arrangements for the registered holder of such holder’s Crosshair Shares to dissent on the beneficial holder’s behalf. See “Rights of Dissent.” It is a condition of the Arrangement that Dissenting Shareholders holding not more than 3% in the aggregate of the Crosshair Shares exercise rights of dissent in relation to the Arrangement.

Stock Exchange Listings

The Crosshair Shares are currently listed and traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) will continue to be listed following completion of the Arrangement. The closing of the Arrangement is conditional upon the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSX-V”) approving the listing of the Gemini Shares on the TSX-V.

Risk Factors

In considering whether to vote for the approval of the Arrangement, Shareholders should be aware that there are various risks, including those described below and those described in the Information Circular. Shareholders should carefully consider these risk factors, together with other information included in this Information Circular, before deciding whether to approve the Arrangement.

Exploration, development and mining operations involve a high degree of risk that even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. There is no assurance that commercial quantities of minerals will be discovered on the properties currently held by Crosshair, nor is there any guarantee that Crosshair’s or Gemini’s exploration programs will yield positive results.

It will be necessary for Crosshair and Gemini to raise additional funds to carry out further exploration and development of their mineral properties and neither Crosshair nor Gemini may be able to raise such funds on terms acceptable to it or at all.

Crosshair’s and Gemini’s operations will continue to be subject to regulatory and environmental control by, and require licenses, permits and approvals from, governmental bodies over which Crosshair and Gemini have no control. See “Risk Factors”.

Post-Arrangement Matters

Upon the Arrangement becoming effective, Shareholders of record on the Share Distribution Record Date will remain shareholders of Crosshair, with each currently held Crosshair Share representing one Crosshair New Share in the capital of Crosshair. In addition, each Shareholder of record on the Share Distribution Record Date will also receive his, her or its pro rata share of the Gemini Shares distributed to Shareholders under the Arrangement. No new share certificates will be issued for the Crosshair New Shares issued pursuant to the Arrangement and therefore holders of Crosshair Shares must retain their certificates as evidence of their ownership of Crosshair New Shares. See “The Arrangement –Gemini Share Certificates and Certificates for Crosshair New Shares”.

Concurrent with, immediately before or immediately after the Closing, Gemini proposes to complete an initial public offering by way of a prospectus in an amount to be determined by Crosshair based on Gemini’s capital needs and market conditions, currently expected to be 6,666,667 common shares of Gemini at a price of $0.75 per common share for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,000,000 (the “Financing”).

The Crosshair New Shares will continue to be listed and traded on the TSX and the closing of the Arrangement is conditional upon the TSX-V approving the listing of the Gemini Shares.

GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

Management Solicitation of Proxies

This information circular (“Information Circular”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Crosshair Exploration & Mining Corp. (“Crosshair”) for use at the Annual and Special Meeting (the “Meeting”) of the shareholders of Crosshair (“Shareholders”) to be held at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the Notice of Meeting and at any adjournment thereof. Solicitations will be made by mail and possibly supplemented by telephone or other personal contact to be made without special compensation by regular officers and employees of Crosshair. Crosshair does not reimburse Shareholders’ nominees or agents (including brokers holding shares on behalf of clients) for the cost incurred in obtaining from their principals, authorization 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 Crosshair. None of the directors of Crosshair 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 directors or officers of Crosshair. A Shareholder has the right to appoint a person to attend and act for him/her on his/her behalf at the Meeting other than the persons named in the enclosed Form of Proxy. To exercise this right, a Shareholder should strike out the names of the persons named in the Form of Proxy and insert the name of his/her nominee in the blank space provided, or complete another Form of Proxy. The completed Form of Proxy should be deposited with Crosshair’s Registrar and Transfer Agent, Computershare Investor Services, 9th Floor, 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1, at least 48 hours before the time of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.

The Form of Proxy must be dated and be signed by the Shareholder or by his/her attorney in writing, or, if the Shareholder is a company, 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, a Shareholder may revoke a Proxy either by (a) signing a 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 Chair 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.

Non-Registered Holders of Company’s Shares

Only Shareholders whose names appear in Crosshair’s Central Securities Register (the “Registered Shareholders”) or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Shareholders who do not hold their common shares in their own name (“Beneficial Shareholders”) are advised that only proxies from Shareholders of record can be recognized and voted at the Meeting. Beneficial Shareholders who complete and return an Form of Proxy must indicate thereon the person (usually a brokerage house) who holds their common shares as registered Shareholder. Every intermediary (broker) has its own mailing procedure, and provides its own return instructions, which should be carefully followed. The form of proxy supplied to Beneficial Shareholders is similar to that provided to Registered Shareholders.


- 9 -

However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered Shareholder how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder.

If common shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those common shares will not be registered in such Shareholder’s name on the records of Crosshair. Such common shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Shareholder’s broker or agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration for the Canadian Depository for Securities, which company acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Common shares held by brokers or their nominees can only be voted (for or against resolutions) upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, brokers/nominees are prohibited from voting shares for their clients. The directors and officers of Crosshair do not know for whose benefit the common shares registered in the name of CDS & Co. are held.

In accordance with National Instrument 54-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, Crosshair has distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting, this Information Circular and the Form of Proxy to the clearing agencies and intermediaries for onward distribution. Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of Shareholders’ meetings unless the Beneficial Shareholders have waived the right to receive meeting materials. Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their common shares are voted at the Meeting. Often the form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker is identical to the Form of Proxy provided by Crosshair to the Registered Shareholders. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the Registered Shareholder how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. Should a Beneficial Shareholder receive such a form and wish to vote at the Meeting, the Beneficial Shareholder should strike out the Management proxyholder’s name in the form and insert the Beneficial Shareholder’s name in the blank provided. The majority of brokers now delegate the responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. (“Broadridge”). Broadridge typically applies a special sticker to the proxy forms, mails those forms to the Beneficial Shareholders and requests Beneficial Shareholders to return the proxy forms to Broadridge. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of common shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder receiving a proxy with a Broadridge sticker on it cannot use that proxy to vote common shares directly at the Meeting – the proxy must be returned to Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the common shares voted. All references to Shareholders in this Information Circular and the accompanying Form of Proxy and Notice of Meeting are to Shareholders of record unless specifically stated otherwise.

Voting of Shares and Exercise of Discretion of Proxies

On any poll, the persons named in the enclosed Form of Proxy will vote the shares in respect of which they are appointed and, where directions are given by the Shareholder in respect of voting for or against any resolution, will do so in accordance with such direction.

In the absence of any direction in the Form of Proxy, it is intended that such shares will be voted in favour of the motions proposed to be made at the Meeting as stated under the headings in this Information Circular. The Form of Proxy enclosed, when properly signed, confers discretionary authority with respect to amendments or variations to any matters which may properly be brought before the Meeting.

At the time of printing of this Information Circular, the Management of Crosshair is not aware that any such amendments, variations or other matters are to be presented for action at the Meeting. However, if


- 10 -

any other matters which are not now known to the Management should properly come before the Meeting, the Proxies hereby solicited will be exercised on such matters in accordance with the best judgement of the nominee.

Voting Shares and Principal Holders Thereof

At July 31, 2008, Crosshair had 94,865,825 common shares without par value issued and outstanding. All common shares in the capital of Crosshair are of the same class and each carries the right to one vote. The quorum for a meeting of Shareholders is two persons present in person or by proxy holding not less than 5% of the issued shares of Crosshair.

August 11, 2008 has been determined as the record date as of which Shareholders are entitled to receive notice of and attend and vote at the Meeting. Shareholders desiring to be represented by proxy at the Meeting must deposit their proxies at the place and within the time set forth in the notes to the Form of Proxy in order to entitle the person duly appointed by the proxy to attend and vote thereat.

To the knowledge of the directors and senior officers of Crosshair, as at July 31, 2008, no shareholder beneficially owns or controls, directly or indirectly, equity shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights to the common shares of Crosshair, other than as follows:

Name

Number of Common Shares

Percentage of Outstanding
Common shares
Universal Uranium Ltd. 10,000,000* 10.54%

*

Universal Uranium Ltd. also owns warrants to purchase up to an additional 7,500,000 common shares.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this Information Circular, none of the directors or executive officers of Crosshair, no proposed nominee for election as a director of Crosshair, none of the persons who have been directors or executive officers of Crosshair since the beginning of Crosshair’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 election of directors or the appointment of auditors.

INTEREST OF INFORMED PERSONS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

Except as disclosed in this Information Circular, no informed person of Crosshair, no management nominee for election as a director of Crosshair, and no associate or affiliate of any of them has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any transaction since the commencement of Crosshair’s most recently completed financial year or in a proposed transaction which has materially affected or would materially affect Crosshair.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

Set out below is a description of certain corporate governance practices of Crosshair, as required by National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices.


- 11 -

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors of Crosshair (“Crosshair’s Board”) is currently comprised of eight directors. Of these, seven, being Ian Smith, Jay Sujir, David Lee, Leo Power, Chris Collingwood, Derrick Gill and Ronald Atlas, are considered by Crosshair’s Board to be independent. Mark Morabito is not independent by virtue of being President and Chief Executive Officer of Crosshair. If the proposed directors are elected, Crosshair’s Board will be composed of eight directors, seven independent and one (Mark Morabito) non-independent.

Crosshair’s Board considers that management is effectively supervised by the independent directors on an informal basis, as the independent directors are actively and regularly involved in reviewing the operations of Crosshair and have regular and full access to management. The independent directors did not meet separately during the last financial year of Crosshair. The independent directors are able to meet at any time without any members of management, including the non-independent directors, being present. The independent directors are encouraged to meet separately when they determine that it is appropriate.

Crosshair’s Board has appointed Jay Sujir as its Chair. The Chair is independent. The Chair’s responsibilities include, without limitation, ensuring that Crosshair’s Board works together as a cohesive team with open communication and works to ensure that a process is in place by which the effectiveness of Crosshair’s Board, its committees and its individual directors can be evaluated on a regular basis. The Chair also acts as the primary spokesperson for Crosshair’s Board, ensuring that management is aware of concerns of Crosshair’s Board, shareholders, other stakeholders and the public and, in addition, ensures that management strategies, plans and performance are appropriately represented to Crosshair’s Board.

Meetings of the Board and Committees of the Board

Crosshair’s Board meets when it is necessary and desirable to transact business of Crosshair. Each committee of Crosshair’s Board meets at least once each year or more frequently as deemed necessary by the applicable committee. The Audit Committee meets every quarter. The frequency of the meetings and the nature of the meeting agendas are dependent upon the nature of the business and affairs which Crosshair faces from time to time. During the financial year ended April 30, 2008 Crosshair’s Board met five times, the Audit Committee met four times, and the Compensation Committee met one time. The following table provides details regarding director attendance at Board and committee meetings held during each director’s tenure on Crosshair’s Board and his respective committees during the financial year ended April 30, 2008.

The duties and responsibilities of Crosshair’s Board are to supervise the management of the business and affairs of Crosshair; and to act with a view towards the best interests of Crosshair. Crosshair’s Board delegates day-to-day management of Crosshair to executive officers, relying on them to keep it apprised of all significant developments affecting Crosshair.

Crosshair’s Board discharges its responsibilities directly and through its committees, currently consisting of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee.

Position Descriptions

Crosshair’s Board has not adopted written position descriptions for the Chair of Crosshair’s Board or the Chair of any committee of Crosshair’s Board.

Crosshair also encourages senior management to participate in professional development programs and courses and supports management’s commitment to training and developing employees.

Ethical Business Conduct

Crosshair’s Board expects management to operate the business of Crosshair in a manner that enhances shareholder value and is consistent with the highest level of integrity. Management is expected to execute Crosshair’s business plan and to meet performance goals and objectives. Crosshair’s Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”), which is available on Crosshair’s website.

Compliance with the Code is based first and foremost on the cooperation and vigilance of all persons subject to the Code. Each employee is provided with a copy of the Code and is required to execute a certificate, in the form attached to the Code, confirming that they have read, understood and agree to comply with the Code. Primary responsibility for monitoring compliance with the Code rests with the Chief Financial Officer.

Directors who (i) are parties to; (ii) are directors or officers of a party to; or (iii) have a material interest in any person who is a party to a material contract or proposed material contract with Crosshair must disclose the conflict in writing to Crosshair or request to have the nature and extent of such interest entered into the minutes of the meeting. The director shall, if requested by any Board member, not be


- 15 -

present at a meeting of Crosshair’s Board while Crosshair’s Board is considering any such material contract and shall not vote on such material contract, unless permitted by law.

Nomination of Directors

The independent directors, by majority vote, have the following responsibilities in connection with the nomination of directors to Crosshair’s Board:

  (a)

Evaluate the qualifications and performance of the incumbent directors that desire to continue their service;

     
  (b)

Consider, recommend and recruit candidates to fill new positions on Crosshair’s Board;

     
  (c)

Review candidates recommended by shareholders;

     
  (d)

Conduct the appropriate and necessary inquiries into the backgrounds and qualifications of possible candidates; and

     
  (e)

Recommend the director nominees for approval by Crosshair’s Board and the shareholders at the annual meeting of shareholders.

In order to ensure an objective nomination process, Crosshair’s Board makes their nominations based on the following objective criteria: (i) the competencies and skills that Crosshair’s Board considers to be necessary for Crosshair’s Board as a whole to possess; (ii) the competencies and skills that Crosshair’s Board considers each existing director to possess, (iii) the competencies and skills each new nominee will bring to the boardroom; and (iv) the amount of time and resources that nominees have available to fulfill their duties as a Board member.

Compensation

Crosshair has a Compensation Committee, which is responsible for determining the compensation of the directors, the CEO and other executive officers of Crosshair. The Compensation committee is composed entirely of independent directors.

The quantity and quality of the directors’ and executive officers’ compensation is reviewed on an annual basis and based on comparable industry standards. At present, Crosshair’s Board is satisfied that the current Board compensation arrangements adequately reflect the responsibilities and risks involved in being an effective director of Crosshair.

Other Board Committees

Crosshair does not have any standing committees other than the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee.

Assessments

Crosshair’s Board does not, at present, have a formal process in place for assessing the effectiveness of Crosshair’s Board as a whole, its committees or individual directors, but will consider implementing one in the future should circumstances warrant. Crosshair’s Board conducts informal periodic assessments of the effectiveness of Crosshair’s Board and its individual directors on an ongoing basis.

The persons named in the enclosed Form of Proxy will vote for the appointment of Davidson & Company LLP, Chartered Accountants, of Vancouver, British Columbia, as Auditor of Crosshair, to hold office until the next Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders at remuneration to be fixed by the directors. Davidson & Company was first appointed as auditor of Crosshair in April 2004.

AMENDMENTS TO CROSSHAIR STOCK OPTION PLAN

Crosshair received shareholder approval of its current Amended Stock Option Plan (“the Plan”) at its Annual Meeting of Shareholders held September 10, 2007.

Crosshair has amended the terms of the Plan (the “Amended Plan”) to make administrative changes to reflect Crosshair’s recent listing on the TSX and to authorize for reissuance under the Plan the 978,750 Crosshair Shares issued pursuant to previous option exercises under the Plan. Crosshair is seeking the approval of shareholders to the Amended Plan. Reference should be made to the full text of the Amended Plan, which is attached hereto as Schedule “A”.

The major features of the Amended Plan can be summarized as follows:

The Crosshair Board, or a committee appointed for such purposes, may from time to time grant to insiders, eligible employees of, or service providers to, Crosshair or its subsidiaries (collectively, “Eligible Persons”) options to acquire Crosshair Shares in such numbers, for such terms and at such exercise prices as may be determined by the Crosshair Board or such committee. The purpose of the Amended Plan is to attract, retain and provide incentives to Eligible Persons and to advance the interests of Crosshair by facilitating equity participation in Crosshair by such persons through the acquisition of Crosshair Shares of the Company. The Crosshair Board, or a committee appointed for such purposes,


- 19 -

also has the authority under the Plan to determine other terms and conditions relating to the grant of Crosshair Options, including any applicable vesting provisions.

The maximum number of Crosshair Shares that may be reserved for issuance for all purposes under the Plan is 11,308,528 Crosshair Shares which represents 11.92% of the issued and outstanding shares, or such additional amount as Crosshair’s shareholders may approve from time to time. Any Crosshair Shares subject to a share option which for any reason is cancelled or terminated without having been exercised will again be available for grant under the Amended Plan.

No Crosshair Options may be granted under the Plan which, together with all of Crosshair’s previously established and outstanding stock option plans or grants, could result (i) at any time, or (ii) within any 12 month period, in the grant to insiders of a number of Crosshair Shares underlying Crosshair Options exceeding 10% of the Crosshair Shares, unless Crosshair has obtained the requisite Disinterested Shareholder Approval. The maximum number of Crosshair Shares reserved for issuance to any one Participant under the Amended Plan and under any other share compensation arrangement is limited to 5% of the Crosshair Shares outstanding at the time of the grant.

The Crosshair Board may from time to time, subject to applicable law and to the prior approval, if required, of the TSX or any other regulatory body having authority over Crosshair or the Amended Plan or, if required by the rules and policies of the TSX, the shareholders of Crosshair, suspend, terminate or discontinue the Amended Plan at any time, or amend or revise the terms of the Amended Plan or of any Option granted under the Amended Plan. The Crosshair Board may make the following amendments to the Amended Plan without obtaining shareholder approval: changes of a clerical or grammatical nature, changes regarding the Participants who may participate in the Amended Plan, changes to the exercise price of Crosshair Options, changes to the term of Crosshair Options, changes regarding the right to exercise Crosshair Options after termination, changes to add a cashless exercise feature to the Amended Plan, and changes regarding the vesting of Crosshair Options. However, shareholder approval must be obtained for: (i) any amendment to the maximum number of Crosshair Shares reserved for issuance under the Amended Plan; (ii) any amendment that would reduce the exercise price of an outstanding Crosshair Option of an insider; and (iii) any amendment that would extend the term of a Crosshair Option granted under the Amended Plan to an insider beyond its expiry date.

The Crosshair Board has the authority under the Amended Plan to establish the option price at the time each share option is granted. The option price may not be lower than the market price, being the closing price, of the Crosshair Shares as traded on the TSX on the last business day proceeding the date on which the option is approved by the Crosshair Board. The Crosshair Board, or a committee appointed for such purposes, also has the authority under the Amended Plan to determine other terms and conditions relating to the grant of Crosshair Options, including any applicable vesting provisions.

The term of Crosshair Options granted under the Amended Plan shall not exceed 10 years from the date of grant. The term of Crosshair Options may be extended beyond 10 years in the event that the expiry date of a Crosshair Option occurs either during a period in which the trading of Crosshair Shares by the optionee is restricted under the insider trading policy or other policy of Crosshair or within ten business days following such a period. All options granted under the Amended Plan are not assignable or transferable other than by will or the laws of dissent and distribution. If an optionee ceases to be an Eligible Person for any reason whatsoever other than death, each option held by such optionee will cease to be exercisable 30 days following the termination date (being the date on which such optionee ceases to be an Eligible Person). If an optionee dies, the legal representative of the optionee may exercise the optionee's options within one year after the date of the optionee's death but only up to and including the original option expiry date.


- 20 -

Crosshair does not provide any financial assistance to participants in order to facilitate the purchase of Crosshair Shares under the Amended Plan. As at July 31, 2008 there were options outstanding under the Plan to acquire 7,218,000 Crosshair Shares, representing 7.61% of Crosshair’s issued and outstanding shares.

Of 11,308,528 shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, 978,750 options have been exercised and 7,218,000 Crosshair Options (representing 7.61% of Crosshair’s issued and outstanding shares) remain outstanding, leaving 3,111,778 options available for grant. Approval of the Amended Plan will also have the effect of making the 978,750 shares which have previously been issued under the terms of the Plan available for grant once again, bringing the total number of Crosshair Options available for grant under the Amended Plan to 4,090,528 (representing 4.31% of Crosshair’s issued and outstanding shares). This will provide Crosshair with added flexibility in attracting executives, employees and consultants.

Shareholders will be asked to consider, and if thought fit, pass the resolution attached as Schedule “B” to this Information Circular approving the implementation of the Amended Plan. Crosshair’s Board recommends that the Shareholders approve this resolution.

APPROVAL AND RATIFICATION OF ACTS OF DIRECTORS

Management of Crosshair proposes that the Shareholders ratify, approve and confirm the actions, deeds and conduct of the directors and officers taken on behalf of Crosshair since the last annual general meeting. Accordingly, Shareholders will be asked to consider and approve the following resolutions, with or without modification:

“RESOLVED, as an Ordinary Resolution, that:

  (a)

  (b)

without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all resolutions, contracts, acts and proceedings of the Board of Directors of Crosshair enacted, made, done or taken since the last annual general meeting as set forth or referred to in the minutes and record books of Crosshair or in the financial statements of Crosshair, are hereby approved, ratified and confirmed.”

Crosshair entered into an employment agreement with Mark J. Morabito on May 1, 2006 pursuant to which Crosshair employed Mr. Morabito as its President and Chief Executive Officer commencing on


- 24 -

May 1, 2006. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Morabito receives an annual salary of $200,000 and an annual bonus, payable quarterly, of up to $200,000. Mr. Morabito received an initial grant of options to purchase up to 1,000,000 common shares at a price of $1.32 per share and is to receive options to purchase up to 500,000 common shares annually. In the event that Mr. Morabito’s employment is terminated other than for just cause (including, but not limited to, a change of control or constructive dismissal), he would be entitled to receive, at his option, 24 months notice of termination or a lump sum payment amount equal to two times his annual salary, continued participation in Crosshair’s incentive plans and benefits until the expiration of the notice period and the continuation of any existing stock options until the expiration of the notice period. On May 1, 2008, in light of the change to Mr. Morabito’s responsibilities with Crosshair, Mr. Morabito’s annual salary was reduced to $150,000 and his maximum annual bonus was reduced to $100,000.

Crosshair entered into an employment agreement with Paul Hosford on January 21, 2008 pursuant to which Crosshair employed Mr. Hosford as its President and Chief Operating Officer commencing on February 18, 2008. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Hosford receives an annual salary of $250,000 and an annual bonus of up to $100,000, payable semi-annually, with the final amount being determined by Crosshair’s Compensation Committee based upon Mr. Hosford’s performance. Mr. Hosford received an initial grant of options to purchase up to 500,000 common shares at a price of $1.41 per share and is to receive options to purchase up to 200,000 common shares annually. In the event that Mr. Hosford’s employment is terminated other than for just cause (including, but not limited to, a change of control or constructive dismissal), he would be entitled to receive, at his option, 24 months notice of termination or a lump sum payment amount equal to two times his annual salary, continued participation in Crosshair’s incentive plans and benefits until the expiration of the notice period and the continuation of any existing stock options until the expiration of the notice period.

Composition of the Compensation Committee

Crosshair’s Compensation Committee currently consists of two members: Jay Sujir and David Lee, all of whom are independent of Crosshair. Prior to the establishment of the Compensation Committee, the executive compensation levels were determined by Crosshair’s Board as a whole.

No member of the Compensation Committee was, during the year ended April 30, 2008, an officer or an employee or former officer of Crosshair or any other subsidiaries, or indebted to Crosshair or any other subsidiaries or another entity in which Crosshair or its subsidiaries has provided a guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or other similar arrangement or understanding in support of such indebtedness. No member of the Compensation Committee had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction during the year ended April 30, 2008 or in any proposed transaction which has materially affected or would materially affect Crosshair or any of its subsidiaries.

Report on Executive Compensation

The Compensation Committee, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, reviews all matters relating to compensation of executive officers and directors of Crosshair. Compensation levels are designed to attract, retain and motivate Crosshair’s executive officers. The compensation for executive officers is comprised of base salary, annual cash bonuses and incentive stock options.

The Compensation Committee reviews and recommends to Crosshair’s Board for approval, base salaries and grants of incentive stock options for executive officers of Crosshair. The Compensation Committee determines the amount and approves the payment of the annual cash bonus to the Chief Executive Officer. Annual cash bonuses for other executive officers are approved by the Compensation Committee upon recommendation by the Chief Executive Officer.


- 25 -

Base Salary

In determining the base salary of an executive officer, the Compensation Committee places equal weight on the following factors:

  (a)

the particular responsibilities related to the position;

     
  (b)

salaries paid by comparable businesses;

     
  (c)

the experience level of the executive officer; and

     
  (d)

his or her overall performance.

Bonus Payments

Executive officers are eligible for annual cash bonuses, after taking into account and giving equal weight to, financial performance, attainment of certain corporate objectives and individual performance. In taking into account the financial performance aspect, it is recognized that executive officers cannot control certain factors, such as interest rates and the international market for industrial minerals. When applying the financial performance criteria, the Compensation Committee considers factors over which the executive officers can exercise control, such as meeting budget targets established by Crosshair’s Board at the beginning of each year, controlling costs, taking successful advantage of business opportunities and enhancing the competitive and business prospects of Crosshair. In determining payout amounts, significant weight is given to market comparable information.

Long-Term Incentives

It is the compensation philosophy of Crosshair to provide a market based blend of base salaries, bonuses and an equity incentive component in the form of options. Crosshair believes that the option component serves to further align the interests of management with the interests of Crosshair’s shareholders.

During the financial year ended April 30, 2008, Crosshair’s Board, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, granted options to purchase 200,000 Shares to Douglas R. Brett, Chief Financial Officer and 500,000 Shares to Paul Hosford, President and Chief Operating Officer.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation

The Compensation Committee:

(a)           periodically reviews the terms of reference for Crosshair’s Chief Executive Officer and recommends any changes to Crosshair’s Board for approval;

(b)           reviews corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and recommends them to Crosshair’s Board for approval;

(c)           leads the annual Chief Executive Officer review/evaluation process and reports the results of the process to Crosshair’s Board;


- 26 -

(d)           based on the results of the Chief Executive Officer’s evaluation, recommends Chief Executive Officer compensation to Crosshair’s Board for approval; and

(e)           reviews, and if appropriate recommends to Crosshair’s Board for approval, any agreements between Crosshair and the Chief Executive Officer, including those addressing retirement, termination of employment or other special circumstances, as appropriate.

The components of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation are the same as those which apply to the other senior executive officers of Crosshair, namely base salary, bonus and long-term incentives in the form of stock options. The Compensation Committee presents recommendations of the Compensation Committee to Crosshair’s Board with respect to the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation. In setting the Chief Executive Officer’s salary, the Compensation Committee reviewed salaries paid to other senior officers in Crosshair, salaries paid to other chief executive officers in the industry and the Chief Executive Officer’s impact on the achievement of Crosshair’s objectives for the previous financial year. The Compensation Committee was satisfied that all such recommendations comply with the Compensation Committee’s policy which is both motivational and competitive to put Crosshair in a position to attract, retain and inspire performance of executive officers of a quality and nature that will lead to and enhance the sustainable profitability and growth of Crosshair.

See “– Summary Compensation Table” and “– Option Grants During the Most Recently Completed Financial Year” above for further details regarding compensation for Crosshair’s Chief Executive Officer during the financial year ended April 30, 2008.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

The business of Crosshair is managed by its directors and officers and Crosshair is not a party to any management contracts with persons who are not officers or directors of Crosshair.

THE ARRANGEMENT

General

The purpose of the Arrangement is to reorganize Crosshair and its present operations into two separate public companies: Crosshair and Gemini. Upon the Arrangement becoming effective, Shareholders of record on the Share Distribution Record Date will become shareholders in both companies and will receive one Crosshair New Share for each Crosshair Share, and one Gemini Share for every 5.5 Crosshair Shares, held by such Shareholder on such date. Gemini will apply to have its shares listed on the TSX-V.

On June 5, 2008, Crosshair’s Board announced the proposed Arrangement to reorganize the capital of Crosshair and Crosshair’s mineral property assets in an effort to maximize shareholder value. The Arrangement has been proposed in order to facilitate the separation of all of Crosshair’s interests in the Golden Promise Property, South Golden Promise Property and Victoria Lake Property (collectively, the “Spin-Off Properties”) from the properties forming the Central Mineral Belt Uranium Project located in Newfoundland (the “CMB Properties”). Pursuant to the Arrangement, the Spin-Off Properties will be transferred to Gemini, while Crosshair will retain all of the CMB Properties. Concurrently, Crosshair will transfer to Gemini 1,764,700 shares of a public company listed on the TSX-V (the “Pubco Shares”, and together with the Spin-Off Properties, the “Spin-Off Assets”). Gemini will be funded by a planned prospectus offering, as no monetary amounts are being transferred in the Arrangement. See “Information Concerning Gemini Post-Arrangement – Financing”.

Paragon Purchase and Sale Agreement

Paragon Minerals Corporation (“Paragon”) is the legal holder of an undivided 100% title and interest (subject to certain underlying agreements and joint venture agreements) in the Spin-Off Properties. Pursuant to certain agreements Paragon has granted options to Crosshair to earn a 60% interest in the Spin-Off Properties. Crosshair has fully earned its 60% interest in both the South Golden Promise Property and the Victoria Lake Property and has the right to earn a 60% interest in the Golden Promise


- 30 -

Property over a four year period expiring in May 2010. On May 20, 2008, Crosshair, Gemini and Paragon entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Paragon Purchase and Sale Agreement”) whereby Paragon will transfer all of its interest in the Spin-Off Properties to Gemini in exchange for 16,201,413 Gemini Shares (the “Consideration Shares”). Additionally, pursuant to the Paragon Purchase and Sale Agreement, Paragon may sell up to 1,333,333 of its Gemini Shares concurrently with the Financing and qualified by the Prospectus (the “Paragon Secondary Offering”).

Provided that Paragon holds at least 20% of the then current issued and outstanding common shares of Gemini, if at any time following completion of the Financing Gemini undertakes any equity financing by way of prospectus (including but not limited to by way of common shares, units, warrants, special warrants, subscription receipts or convertible debt) (a "Subsequent Financing"), Paragon will have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in such Subsequent Financing as a seller in order to sell such number of the remaining Consideration Shares as shall comprise at least 10% of the amount of any such Subsequent Financing, provided that Paragon shall not be permitted to sell more than 30% of Paragon’s ownership of then current issued and outstanding common shares of Gemini in any single Subsequent Financing. Gemini shall permit Paragon to qualify Paragon's sale of such Consideration Shares in such Subsequent Financing by way of such prospectus.

The completion of the transactions contemplated by the Paragon Purchase and Sale Agreement are subject to certain conditions, including the following:

  1.

Crosshair and Gemini shall have entered into a purchase and sale agreement for Crosshair’s interest in the Spin-Off Properties and any conditions to the performance of that agreement shall have been satisfied or waived.

     
  2.

The Arrangement shall have been approved by the shareholders of Crosshair and the Court.

     
  3.

All regulatory approvals and consents to the transactions contemplated by the Paragon Purchase and Sale Agreement shall have been obtained and be in full force and effect, including the approval of any stock exchange that the securities of any of the parties are listed on or to which an application for listing has been made.

     
  4.

The Financing and Paragon Secondary Offering shall have been completed on terms reasonably acceptable to Paragon.

     
  5.

Paragon shall have been satisfied, acting reasonably, with the results of its due diligence investigation of Gemini, including satisfaction with the tax implications of the Arrangement and the sale of its legal and beneficial interest in the Spin-Off Properties to Gemini.

If any of the conditions set out in the Paragon Purchase and Sale Agreement are not fulfilled or performed, Paragon may terminate the Purchase and Sale Agreement, or Paragon may waive the condition in whole or in part.

Reasons for the Arrangement

The reorganization is designed to improve the identification and valuation of specific Crosshair properties, to enhance Crosshair’s ability to divest specific properties through simpler corporate ownership, and to enable Crosshair to separately finance and develop its various assets, selectively reducing stock dilution.


- 31 -

Crosshair’s Board is of the view that the Arrangement will benefit Crosshair and its Shareholders. Crosshair’s Board believes the formation of Gemini to hold the Spin-Off Properties will allow management of Crosshair to focus entirely on the development of the more advanced CMB Properties, and free management of Gemini to facilitate separate fund-raising, exploration and mining strategies that will be required to move the exploration stage Spin-Off Properties forward. In addition, Crosshair believes that the creation of two separate public companies dedicated to the pursuit of their respective businesses will focus the efforts of each company, provide Shareholders with additional investment flexibility and also better reflect the value of all of Crosshair’s current assets, including the Spin-Off Assets.

Recommendation of Directors

Crosshair’s Board approved the Arrangement and recommended and authorized the submission of the Arrangement to the Shareholders and the Court for approval. Crosshair’s Board has concluded that the Arrangement is in the best interests of Crosshair and its Shareholders, and recommends that the Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution proposed to be passed at the Meeting as set forth in the Notice of Meeting.

In reaching this conclusion, Crosshair’s Board considered the benefits to Crosshair and its Shareholders, as well as the financial position, opportunities and the outlook for the future potential and operating performance of Crosshair and Gemini, respectively.

Fairness of the Arrangement

The Arrangement was determined to be fair to the Shareholders by management and Crosshair’s Board based upon the following factors, among others:

1.

The procedures by which the Arrangement will be approved, including the requirement for two- thirds Shareholder approval and approval by the Court after a hearing at which fairness will be considered;

   
2.

The proposed listing of the Gemini Shares on the TSX-V and the continued listing of the Crosshair New Shares on the TSX; and

   
3.

The opportunity for Shareholders who are opposed to the Arrangement, upon compliance with certain conditions, to dissent from the approval of the Arrangement in accordance with the Interim Order, and to be paid fair value for their Crosshair Shares.

Each Shareholder on the Share Distribution Record Date will participate in the Arrangement on a pro rata basis and, upon completion of the Arrangement, will continue to hold the same pro rata interest that the Shareholder held in Crosshair prior to completion of the Arrangement through the Shareholder’s holdings of Crosshair New Shares and Gemini Shares.

Details of the Arrangement

The following description of the Arrangement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Arrangement Agreement, a copy of which is annexed as Schedule “D” to this Information Circular, and the Plan of Arrangement, which forms Exhibit II to the Arrangement Agreement. Each of these documents should be read carefully in its entirety.


- 32 -

Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, save and except for Dissenting Shares, the following principal steps will occur and be deemed to occur in the following chronological order as part of the Arrangement:

  (a)

Crosshair will transfer the Spin-Off Assets to Gemini in exchange for that number of Gemini Shares having an aggregate fair market value equal to the fair market value of the Spin-Off Assets (less the amount of related liabilities of Crosshair being assumed by Gemini) and Crosshair and Gemini will jointly elect pursuant to the terms of section 85 of the Tax Act at elected amounts to be determined by Crosshair within the limits set out in the Tax Act;

       
  (b)

the authorized share structure of Crosshair shall be reorganized and altered by:

       
  (i)

renaming and redesignating all of the issued and unissued Crosshair Shares as Class A common shares (the “Crosshair Class A Shares”), and

       
  (ii)

creating an unlimited number of common shares without par value with terms identical to the Crosshair Shares (the “Crosshair New Shares”);

       
  (c)

Crosshair’s Notice of Articles shall be amended to reflect the alterations in (b) above;

       
  (d)

pursuant to the reorganizing each issued and outstanding Crosshair Class A Share outstanding on the Share Distribution Record Date shall be exchanged for one Crosshair New Share and 0.1818182 of one Gemini Share and such Shareholders shall cease to be the holders of the Crosshair Class A Shares so exchanged. While each Shareholder’s fractional Gemini Shares will be combined, no fractional shares will be issued and Shareholders will not receive any compensation in lieu thereof. The name of each Shareholder who is so deemed to exchange his, her or its Crosshair Class A Shares, shall be removed from the central securities register of Crosshair Class A Shares with respect to the Crosshair Class A Shares so exchanged and shall be added to the central securities registers of Crosshair New Shares and Gemini Shares as the holder of the number of Crosshair New Shares and Gemini Shares, deemed to have been received on the exchange. The aggregate paid up capital of the Crosshair New Shares will be equal to the paid up capital of the Crosshair Class A Shares immediately prior to the reorganization less the fair market value of the Gemini Shares;

       
  (e)

the Crosshair Class A Shares, none of which will be allotted and issued once the steps referred to in (b) and (d), are completed, shall be cancelled and the authorized capital of Crosshair shall be diminished by deleting the Crosshair Class A Shares as classes of shares of Crosshair; and

       
  (f)

the Notice of Articles of Crosshair shall be amended to reflect the alterations in (e) above.

Authority of Board of Directors of Crosshair

By passing the Arrangement Resolution approving the Arrangement, the Shareholders will also be giving authority to Crosshair’s Board to use its best judgement to proceed with and cause Crosshair to complete the Arrangement in the event of any variation of, or amendments to, the Arrangement Agreement, without any requirement to seek or obtain any further approval of the Shareholders.

The Arrangement Resolution also provides that the Plan of Arrangement may be amended by Crosshair’s Board before or after the Meeting without further notice to Shareholders. Crosshair’s Board has no


- 33 -

current intention to amend the Plan of Arrangement; however, it is possible that management of Crosshair may determine, on the basis set forth below, that it is appropriate that amendments be made.

Conditions to the Arrangement

The Arrangement Agreement provides that the Arrangement will be subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, including the following:

  (a)

the Arrangement Agreement must be approved by the Shareholders in the manner referred to under “ – Shareholder Approval”;

     
  (b)

the Arrangement must be approved by the Court in the manner referred to under “ – Court Approval of the Arrangement”;

     
  (c)

the TSX shall have conditionally approved the Arrangement, including the listing of the Crosshair Class A Shares in substitution for the Crosshair Shares, the delisting of the Crosshair Class A Shares and in substitution the listing of the Crosshair New Shares and the TSX-V shall have conditionally approved the listing of the Gemini Shares issuable under the Arrangement, as of the Effective Date, subject to compliance with the requirements of each exchange;

     
  (d)

all other consents, orders, regulations and approvals, including regulatory and judicial approvals and orders required or necessary or desirable for the completion of the transactions provided for in the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement shall have been obtained or received from the Persons, authorities or bodies having jurisdiction in the circumstances each in form acceptable to Crosshair and Gemini;

     
  (e)

there shall not be in force any order or decree restraining or enjoining the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement;

     
  (f)

notices of dissent shall not have been delivered by Shareholders holding greater than 3% of the outstanding Shares; and

     
  (g)

the Arrangement Agreement shall not have been terminated as provided for therein.

If any of the conditions set out in the Arrangement Agreement are not fulfilled or performed, Crosshair or Gemini may terminate the Arrangement Agreement, or Crosshair or Gemini may waive the condition in whole or in part. As soon as practicable after the fulfillment of the conditions contained in the Arrangement Agreement, Crosshair’s Board intends to cause a certified copy of the Final Order to be filed with the Registrar under the BCBCA, together with such other material as may be required by the Registrar in order that the Arrangement will become effective.

Management of Crosshair believes that all material consents, orders, regulations, approvals or assurances required for the completion of the Arrangement will be obtained prior to the Effective Date in the ordinary course upon application therefor.

If the Arrangement Resolution is not passed by an adequate majority of eligible votes at the Meeting, the Arrangement will not be completed, Crosshair will continue to hold and manage the Spin-Off Assets in the same manner as it presently does, and Gemini will continue as a private company.


- 34 -

Shareholder Approval

In order for the Arrangement to become effective, the Arrangement Resolution must be passed, with or without variation, by at least two-thirds of the eligible votes cast at the Meeting in respect of the Arrangement Resolution by holders of Crosshair Shares.

The Arrangement Resolution must not include votes attached to Crosshair Shares which, to the knowledge of Crosshair or its directors or executive officers, are beneficially owned or over which control or direction is exercised by the following persons:

(a)

an interested party who is not treated identically to all other holders of Crosshair Shares and who receives, directly or indirectly, as a consequence of the related party transaction, consideration of greater value than that received by all other holders of Crosshair Shares;

     
(b)

a related party of an interested party, unless:

     
(i)

the related party is a director of the issuer who is independent of the interested party; or

     
(ii)

the related party and the interested party are treated identically to all other holders of Crosshair Shares and do not receive, directly or indirectly, as a consequence of the related party transaction, consideration of greater value than that received by all other holders of Crosshair Shares and the related party of an interested party does not hold, directly or indirectly, whether alone or jointly or in concert with others, securities of more than one party to the related party transaction sufficient to affect materially the control of such parties; and

     
(c)

a person or company acting jointly or in concert with a person or company referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) in respect of the transaction.

Certain directors and executive officers of Crosshair own Crosshair Shares and/or options to acquire Crosshair Shares. Insofar as such persons will receive Gemini Shares based on the same pro rata distribution as the other Shareholders with respect to the distribution of the Gemini Shares to the Shareholders under the Arrangement, they are not considered to be “interested parties” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101.

The Shareholder will be asked to consider and approve the Arrangement by approving the Arrangement Resolution in substantially the form set out in Schedule “C” to this Information Circular. If the Arrangement Resolution is not passed by an adequate majority of eligible votes at the Meeting, the Arrangement will not be completed, and Crosshair will continue to hold and manage the Spin-Off Assets in the same manner that it presently does and Gemini will continue as a private corporation.

Court Approval of the Arrangement

A Plan of Arrangement under the BCBCA requires court approval. Prior to the mailing of this Information Circular, Crosshair obtained an interim order of the Court authorizing the calling and holding of the Meeting and prescribing the conduct of the Meeting (the “Interim Order”) which is attached as Schedule “G” to this Information Circular. The Interim Order, among other things, provides for the calling and holding of the Meeting and caused to be issued the notice of application for the final order of the Court (the “Final Order”). The Interim Order does not constitute approval of the Plan of Arrangement or the contents of this Information Circular by the Court. As set forth in the Interim Order,


- 35 -

the hearing in respect of the Final Order is scheduled to take place before the Court on September 19, 2008, at 9:45 a.m. (Vancouver time) at the Law Courts, 800 Smithe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, subject to the adoption of the Plan of Arrangement by Crosshair’s Shareholders at the Meeting.

The authority of the Court is very broad under the BCBCA. Crosshair has been advised by its counsel that the Court may make any enquiry it considers appropriate and may make any order it considers appropriate with respect to the Plan of Arrangement. The Court will consider, among other things, the fairness and reasonableness of the Plan of Arrangement to Shareholders. The Court may approve the Plan of Arrangement either as proposed or as amended in any manner the Court may direct, subject to compliance with such terms and conditions, if any, as the Court thinks fit.

The Court will be advised prior to the hearing of the application for the Interim Order and the Final Order that the Court’s determination that the Plan of Arrangement is fair and reasonable will form the basis for an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) thereunder with respect to the securities of Crosshair and Gemini to be issued pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement.

Approval of Organization of Gemini and the Gemini Stock Option Plan

Subject to the approval of the Arrangement Resolution, the Shareholders will be asked to consider and approve the organization of Gemini including the Gemini Stock Option Plan by approving the resolution in substantially the form set out in Schedule “E” to this Information Circular. The full text of the Gemini Stock Option Plan is attached as Schedule “F” to this Information Circular.

Proposed Timetable for Arrangement

The anticipated timetable for the completion of the Arrangement and the key dates proposed are as follows:

Record Date for the Meeting: August 11, 2008
Annual and Special General Meeting: September 15, 2008
Final Court Approval: September 19, 2008
Share Distribution Record Date: October 6, 2008
Effective Date: October 10, 2008
Mailing of Certificates for Gemini Shares: October 14, 2008

The Boards of Directors of Crosshair and Gemini will determine the exact Share Distribution Date, Effective Date and Mailing of Certificates for Gemini Shares date depending on when all the conditions to the completion of the Arrangement are satisfied. Notice of the actual Effective Date and Share Distribution Record Date will be given to Shareholders through a press release and TSX Bulletin when all the conditions to the Arrangement have been met or the Court and Crosshair’s Board are of the view that all transactions will be completed.

The foregoing dates may be amended if all of the conditions to the completion of the Arrangement are not met by October 10, 2008.


- 36 -

Gemini Share Certificates and Certificates for Crosshair New Shares

Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, the close of business on the fourth Business Day prior to the Effective Date has been established as the Share Distribution Record Date for purposes of determining Shareholders who will be entitled to receive certificates representing Gemini Shares. After the Share Distribution Record Date, the share certificates representing, on their face, Crosshair Shares are deemed to represent only Crosshair New Shares. On or before the Share Distribution Record Date, the share certificates representing, on their face, Crosshair Shares are deemed under the Plan of Arrangement to represent Crosshair New Shares and an entitlement to Gemini Shares in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement. As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, share certificates representing the Gemini Shares will be sent to all Shareholders of record on the Share Distribution Record Date.

No new share certificates will be issued for the Crosshair New Shares issued pursuant to the Arrangement and therefore holders of Crosshair Shares must retain their certificates as evidence of their ownership of Crosshair New Shares. Certificates representing, on their face, Crosshair Shares will constitute good delivery in connection with the sale of Crosshair New Shares completed through the facilities of the TSX after the Effective Date.

Relationship Between Crosshair and Gemini after the Arrangement

On completion of the Arrangement, the following individuals will be directors and/or executive officers of both Crosshair and Gemini: Mark Morabito, Paul Hosford, Ian Smith, Julie Bolden and Evelyn Cox. See “Information Concerning Gemini Post Arrangement – Directors, Officers and Management of Gemini”.

Effect of Arrangement on Outstanding Stock Options and Share Purchase Warrants

Crosshair Options

Holders of Crosshair Options will not receive any new securities in the arrangement and no adjustments will be made to the terms of the Crosshair Options.

Crosshair Warrants

Holders of Crosshair Warrants will not receive any new securities in the arrangement and no adjustments will be made to the terms of the Crosshair Warrants.

Resale of Crosshair New Shares and Gemini Shares

Exemption from Canadian Prospectus Requirements and Resale Restrictions

The issue of Crosshair New Shares and Gemini Shares pursuant to the Arrangement will be made pursuant to exemptions from the registration and prospectus requirements contained in applicable provincial securities legislation in the provinces of Canada. Under applicable provincial securities laws, such Crosshair New Shares and Gemini Shares may be resold in Canada without hold period restrictions, except that any person, company or combination of persons or companies holding a sufficient number of Crosshair New Shares or Gemini Shares to affect materially the control of Crosshair or Gemini, respectively, will be restricted in reselling such shares pursuant to securities laws applicable in Canada. In addition, unless otherwise exempted, existing hold periods on any Crosshair Shares in effect prior to the Effective Date, will be carried forward to the Crosshair New Shares and the Gemini Shares that result from such Crosshair Shares under the Arrangement.


- 37 -

The foregoing discussion is only a general overview of the requirements of Canadian securities laws for the resale of the Crosshair New Shares and the Gemini Shares received upon completion of the Arrangement. All holders of Crosshair Shares are urged to consult with their own legal counsel to ensure that any resale of their Crosshair New Shares and Gemini Shares complies with applicable securities legislation.

Exemption from United States Registration Requirements and Resale Restrictions

The Crosshair and Gemini securities to be issued to securityholders pursuant to the Arrangement will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. Such securities will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act and pursuant to exemptions from applicable state securities laws. Section 3(a)(10) exempts securities issued in exchange for one or more outstanding securities from the general requirement of registration where the terms and conditions of the issuance and exchange of such securities have been approved by any court of competent jurisdiction, after a hearing upon the fairness of the terms and conditions of the issuance and exchange at which all persons to whom the securities will be issued have the right to appear. The Court is authorized to conduct a hearing at which the fairness of the terms and conditions of the Arrangement will be considered. The Court granted the Interim Order on August 15, 2008 and, subject to the approval of the Arrangement by Shareholders, a hearing on the Arrangement will be held on September 19, 2008 by the Court. The Final Order will, if granted, constitute the basis for the exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities Act for the Crosshair and Gemini securities delivered pursuant to the Arrangement. See “The Arrangement – Court Approval of the Arrangement” above.

The Crosshair New Shares and Gemini Shares to be issued to Shareholders in the United States will be freely tradable under U.S. federal securities laws, except by persons who are “affiliates” of Crosshair or Gemini prior to the Arrangement or “affiliates” of Crosshair or Gemini after the Arrangement. Persons who may be deemed to be “affiliates” of an issuer include individuals or entities that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with, the issuer, and generally include executive officers and directors of the issuer as well as principal shareholders of the issuer.

Holders of Crosshair New Shares and Gemini Shares who were “affiliates” of Crosshair before the Arrangement or will be “affiliates” of Crosshair or Gemini after the Arrangement will be subject to the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws restrictions on the resale of their Crosshair New Shares and Gemini Shares following the consummation of the Arrangement. Subject to certain limitations, affiliates may immediately resell Crosshair New Shares and Gemini Shares outside the United States without registration under the U.S. Securities Act pursuant to Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act. Crosshair New Shares and Gemini Shares held by such affiliates may also be resold in other transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act, including a transaction completed in accordance with the volume, current public information and manner of sale limitations of Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act. These limitations generally require that any sales made by an affiliate in any three-month period not exceed the greater of 1% of the outstanding securities of Crosshair or Gemini, as applicable, or, if such securities are listed on a United States national securities exchange or reported through the automated quotation system of a registered securities association in the United States, the average weekly trading volume of the respective securities over the four calendar weeks preceding the placement of the sell order, and that sales be made in unsolicited, open market “broker’s transactions” at times when certain information specified by the Rule 144 is publicly available with respect to Crosshair or Gemini, as applicable.


- 38 -

Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act does not exempt the issuance of the Crosshair New Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Crosshair Options or the Crosshair New Shares to be issued upon the exercise of Crosshair Warrants. The Crosshair Options and Crosshair Warrants may be exercised only pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. As a result, the Crosshair Options and Crosshair Warrants may only be exercised by a holder who represents that, at the time of exercise, the holder is not then located in the United States, is not a “U.S. person”, as defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act (a “U.S. Person”), and is not exercising the Crosshair Options or Crosshair Warrants, as applicable, for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person or a person in the United States, unless the holder provides a legal opinion or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Crosshair to the effect that the exercise of the Crosshair Options or Crosshair Warrants, as applicable, does not require registration under the U.S. Securities Act or applicable state securities laws.

In addition, any Crosshair New Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Crosshair Options and Crosshair New Shares issuable upon the exercise of Crosshair Warrants in the United States or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person or a person in the United States will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act, certificates representing such Crosshair New Shares and Gemini Shares, as applicable, will bear a legend to that effect, and such Crosshair New Shares and Gemini Shares, as applicable, may be resold only pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws. Subject to certain limitations, Crosshair New Shares and Gemini Shares, as applicable, may be resold outside the United States without registration under the U.S. Securities Act pursuant to Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act.

The foregoing discussion is only a general overview of certain requirements of United States securities laws applicable to the Crosshair New Shares and the Gemini Shares received upon completion of the Arrangement and the Crosshair New Shares issuable upon exercise of the Crosshair Options, and Crosshair New Shares issuable upon the exercise of Crosshair Warrants. All holders of such securities are urged to consult with counsel to ensure that the resale of their securities complies with applicable securities legislation.

Expenses of Arrangement

Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, the costs relating to the Arrangement, including without limitation, financial, advisory, accounting, and legal fees will be borne by the party incurring them unless otherwise agreed by the parties. The costs of the Arrangement to the Effective Date will be borne by Crosshair.

INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable in respect of the reorganization of capital of Crosshair, consisting of the redesignation of Crosshair Shares as Crosshair Class A Shares (the “Redesignation”), the exchange of each Crosshair Class A Shares for one Crosshair New Share and 0.1818182 of one Gemini Share (the “Share Exchange”) for shareholders who are the beneficial owners of Crosshair Class A Shares who, for purposes of the Tax Act, deal and will deal at arm’s length with Crosshair and Gemini, are not affiliated with Crosshair or Gemini, and hold and will hold their Crosshair Shares and Gemini Shares, as applicable, as capital property.


- 39 -

Crosshair Shares will generally be considered to be capital property to a holder thereof provided that such holder does not hold any such Crosshair Shares or Gemini Shares in the course of carrying on a business of buying and selling securities and has not acquired such Crosshair Shares or Gemini Shares in a transaction considered to be an adventure in the nature of trade. Certain Shareholders who are resident in Canada and who might not otherwise be considered to hold such Crosshair Shares or Gemini Shares as capital property may be entitled to have them treated as capital property by making the irrevocable election outlined in subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act to have their Crosshair Shares or Gemini Shares and every other “Canadian security” (as defined in the Tax Act) owned by such holder in the taxation year of the election and in all subsequent taxation years deemed to be capital property.

This summary does not address income tax considerations applicable to directors, officers or other insiders of Crosshair, Gemini or related companies, or persons who hold Crosshair Shares or will hold Gemini Shares subject to escrow, trading or other restrictions that might affect the value thereof. The summary addresses the tax considerations applicable to Crosshair and Gemini only to the extent expressly set out herein.

This summary is not applicable to a Shareholder: (i) that is a “financial institution” for the purposes of the mark-to-market rules contained in the Tax Act; (ii) that is a “specified financial institution” or “restricted financial institution” as defined in the Tax Act; (iii) who has acquired Crosshair Shares upon the exercise of an employee stock option; (iv) for whom an interest in which is a “tax shelter investment” as defined under the Tax Act, or (v) to whom the functional currency reporting rules contained in subsection 261(4) of the Tax Act would apply. Such Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors.

This summary is based on the current provisions of the Tax Act, the regulations thereunder, all proposals to amend the Tax Act or the regulations publicly announced by the federal Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof, and the understanding of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP of the current published administrative practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”). It has been assumed that all currently proposed amendments will be enacted as proposed and that there will be no other relevant changes to the Tax Act or other applicable law or policy, although no assurance can be given in these respects. For purposes of this summary, it has also been assumed that the Crosshair Class A Shares will be or remain listed on the TSX upon the Redesignation, and the Crosshair New Shares and Gemini Shares will be listed on the TSX and TSX-V, respectively, when issued.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be considered to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Shareholder. The tax consequences to any particular Shareholder will depend on a variety of factors including the Shareholder’s own particular circumstances. Therefore, all Shareholders and all persons affected by the Plan of Arrangement should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances. An advance income tax ruling has not been obtained with respect to the transactions contemplated herein.

Residents of Canada

The following summary applies generally to a Shareholder who, for the purposes of the Tax Act, is resident, or is deemed to be resident, in Canada, at all relevant times, and who participates in the reorganization of capital of Crosshair and the Redesignation and the Share Exchange under the Plan of Arrangement.


- 40 -

Shareholders Resident in Canada who Participate in the Plan of Arrangement

Redesignation of Crosshair Shares as Crosshair Class A Shares

Under the Tax Act, the Redesignation is not a taxable event to a Shareholder.

Exchange of Crosshair Class A Shares for Crosshair New Shares and Gemini Shares

The adjusted cost base to a Shareholder resident in Canada of Gemini Shares acquired on the exchange will be equal to the fair market value of the Gemini Shares at the time of the exchange. The adjusted cost base to a Shareholder resident in Canada of Crosshair New Shares acquired on the exchange will be equal to the amount, if any, by which the adjusted cost base of the Shareholder resident in Canada’s Crosshair Class A Shares immediately before the exchange exceeds the fair market value of the Gemini Shares received on the exchange.

Based on discussions between Counsel and management of Crosshair, it is anticipated that the fair market value of the Gemini Shares at the time they are distributed on the exchange of Crosshair Class A Shares for Crosshair New Shares and Gemini Shares will be less than the aggregate paid up capital of the Crosshair Class A Shares (other than Crosshair Class A Shares which are disposed of in consideration for a cash payment as a consequence of the exercise of rights by a shareholder who dissents (a “Dissenter”)) immediately before the distribution. Accordingly, the value of the Gemini Shares should be treated as a return of paid up capital to the Shareholders and no dividend should be deemed to have been paid by Crosshair or received by a Shareholder as a result of the exchange of Crosshair Class A Shares for Gemini Shares and Crosshair New Shares. Based on representations made by Crosshair to Counsel, it is anticipated that the paid up capital of the Crosshair Class A Shares held immediately prior to the Arrangement will be approximately $0.6447 per share.

If the aggregate paid-up capital of the Crosshair Class A Shares (other than Crosshair Class A Shares which are disposed of in consideration for a cash payment as a consequence of the exercise of rights by a Dissenter) immediately before the distribution was less than the fair market value of the Gemini Shares at the time of distribution, Crosshair would be deemed to have paid a dividend on the Crosshair Class A Shares equal to the amount of the excess, and each Shareholder receiving Gemini Shares would be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of the dividend, based on the proportion of Crosshair Class A Shares held. The taxation imposed on a dividend is described under “Dividends on Shares”, below.

A Shareholder whose Crosshair Class A Shares are exchanged for Crosshair New Shares and Gemini Shares will be deemed to have disposed of the Crosshair Class A Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the cost to the Shareholder of the Crosshair New Shares and the fair market value of the Gemini Shares less the amount of any dividend deemed to be received by the Shareholder on the exchange (which dividend is anticipated to be nil). A shareholder will realize a capital gain (or loss) to the extent such proceeds of disposition less any reasonable costs of disposition exceed (or are less than) the Shareholder’s adjusted cost base of the Crosshair Class A Shares.

See “Taxation of Capital Gains and Losses” below for a general description of the treatment of capital gains and losses under the Tax Act.

Dissenting Shareholders Resident in Canada

A Dissenter will be deemed to receive a dividend equal to the amount by which the amount received (other than in respect of interest awarded by a Court, if any) from Crosshair exceeds the paid-up capital of


- 41 -

the Dissenter’s Crosshair Class A Shares. The deemed dividend will be subject to the normal gross-up and dividend tax credit rules under the Tax Act (as described under “Dividends on Shares” below).

In addition, a Dissenter will be considered to have disposed of his or her Crosshair Class A Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the amount received from Crosshair (less the deemed dividend referred to above and not including any interest awarded by a Court). The Dissenter will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) to the extent such adjusted proceeds of disposition, less any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are exceeded by, respectively) the Dissenter’s adjusted cost base of the Crosshair Class A Shares so disposed of. Any such capital gain or loss will be subject to the normal rules under the Tax Act as described under “Taxation of Capital Gains and Losses” below. Interest awarded to a Dissenter by a Court, if any, must be included by the Dissenter in computing the Dissenter’s income for purposes of the Tax Act.

Dividends on Shares

In the case of a Shareholder who is an individual, dividends received or deemed to be received on Crosshair Class A Shares, Crosshair New Shares or Gemini Shares will be included in computing the individual’s income and will be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules, normally applicable to taxable dividends received from taxable Canadian corporations. Taxable dividends which Crosshair or Gemini, as the case may be, designate as “eligible dividends” will be grossed up by 45% and the dividend tax credit will be 11/18 of the gross-up amount for 2008. Dividends which are not designated as “eligible dividends” will be grossed up by 25% and the dividend tax credit will be 2/3 of the gross-up amount for 2008.

In the case of a Shareholder that is a corporation, dividends received or deemed to be received on Crosshair Class A Shares, Crosshair New Shares or Gemini Shares, as the case may be, will be included in computing the corporation’s income and will generally be deductible in computing its taxable income. A “private corporation” or a “subject corporation” (as defined in the Tax Act) may be liable under Part IV of the Tax Act to pay a refundable tax of 33 1/3% on dividends received or deemed to be received on Crosshair Class A Shares, Crosshair New Shares or Gemini Shares, to the extent that such dividends are deductible in computing the corporation’s taxable income. This refundable tax is generally refunded to the corporate holder at the rate of $1.00 for every $3.00 of taxable dividends paid, while it is a private corporation.

Disposition of Crosshair New Shares or Gemini Shares

The disposition or deemed disposition of Crosshair New Shares or Gemini Shares, by a Shareholder will generally result in a capital gain (or loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base to the holder of those shares, immediately before the disposition. See “Taxation of Capital Gains and Losses” below for a general description of the treatment of capital gains and losses under the Tax Act.

Taxation of Capital Gains and Losses

One-half of any capital gain (a “taxable capital gain”) realized by a Shareholder in a taxation year will be included in the holder’s income for the year. One-half of any capital loss (an “allowable capital losses”) realized by the Shareholder in a year may be deducted against taxable capital gains realized in the year. Allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capital gains realized in a taxation year may be carried back up to three taxation years or carried forward indefinitely, and deducted against net taxable capital gains in those other years, to the extent and in the circumstances specified in the Tax Act.


- 42 -

If the Shareholder is a corporation, the amount of any capital loss arising from a disposition or deemed disposition of a share may be reduced by the amount of certain dividends received or deemed to be received by the corporation on the share, to the extent and under circumstances specified by the Tax Act. Similar rules may apply where the corporation is a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust that owns shares, or where a partnership or trust of which the corporation is a member or beneficiary is a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust that owns shares.

Non-Residents of Canada

The following part of the summary applies, subject to all provisos and assumptions set out above, to a Shareholder, who participates in the reorganization of the share capital of Crosshair and the Redesignation and Share Exchange under the Plan of Arrangement, and who for the purposes of the Tax Act and any relevant tax treaty, is not and has never been resident or deemed a resident of Canada and does not, and will not at any relevant time, use or hold any shares of Crosshair (including the Crosshair Shares, the redesignated Crosshair Class A Shares, and any other shares) or Gemini Shares in carrying on, or otherwise in connection with, a business in Canada (a “Non-Resident Shareholder”). Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to a Non-Resident Shareholder that is an insurer carrying on business in Canada and elsewhere. Such Non-Resident Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors.

Non-Resident Shareholders who Participate in the Plan of Arrangement

The Redesignation is not a taxable event to a Non-Resident Shareholder.

A Non-Resident Shareholder who participates in the Arrangement will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on any capital gains realized on the exchange of Crosshair Class A Shares for Crosshair New Shares and Gemini Shares, provided that the shares disposed of do not constitute “taxable Canadian property” (as defined in the Tax Act), discussed below, of the Non-Resident Shareholder at the time of the respective exchange, or an applicable income tax treaty exempts the capital gain from tax under the Tax Act.

Generally, a share of a corporation owned by a Non-Resident Shareholder will not be “taxable Canadian property” of that Non-Resident Shareholder at a particular time, provided that: (i) the share is listed on a designated stock exchange (which includes the TSX) at that time: (ii) neither the Non-Resident Shareholder, persons with whom the Non-Resident Shareholder does not deal at arm’s length, nor the Non-Resident Shareholder together with all such persons, has owned 25% or more of the shares of any class or series of the corporation at any time within the previous five years; and (iii) the share was not acquired in a transaction as a result of which the share was deemed to be taxable Canadian property of the Non-Resident Shareholder.

In the case of Crosshair Class A Shares, Crosshair New Shares or Gemini Shares owned by a Non-Resident Shareholder, that constitute “taxable Canadian property” of the Non-Resident Shareholder, and any capital gain that would be realized on the disposition of the share is not exempt from tax under the Tax Act pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty, the tax consequences discussed above, under “Taxation of Capital Gains and Losses”, will generally apply.

Similar to the analysis under “Exchange of Crosshair Class A Shares for Crosshair New Shares and Gemini Shares” for Shareholders resident in Canada, Crosshair has informed counsel that the aggregate fair market value of the Gemini Shares, at the time they are distributed on the exchange of Crosshair Class A Shares for Crosshair New Shares and Gemini Shares, is not anticipated to exceed the aggregate paid-up capital of the Crosshair Class A Shares (other than Crosshair Class A Shares which are disposed of in consideration for a cash payment as a consequence of the exercise of rights by a Dissenter)


- 43 -

immediately before the distribution. Accordingly, the value of the Gemini Shares should be treated as a return of paid up capital to the Shareholders and no dividend should be deemed to have been paid by Crosshair or received by a Shareholder as a result of the exchange of Crosshair Class A Shares for Gemini Shares and Crosshair New Shares. Based on representations made by Crosshair to Counsel, it is anticipated that the paid up capital of the Crosshair Class A Shares held immediately prior to the Arrangement will be approximately $0.6447 per share.

If the aggregate paid-up capital of the Crosshair Class A Shares (other than Crosshair Class A Shares which are disposed of in consideration for a cash payment as a consequence of the exercise of rights by a Dissenter) immediately before the distribution was less than the fair market value of the Gemini Shares at the time of distribution, Crosshair would be deemed to have paid a dividend on the Crosshair Class A Shares equal to the amount of the excess, and each Shareholder, including a Non-resident Shareholder, receiving Gemini Shares would be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of the dividend, based on the proportion of Crosshair Class A Shares held. The taxation imposed on a dividend received by a NonResident Shareholder is described below under “Dividends on Crosshair New Shares and Gemini Shares Received by a Non-Resident Shareholder”.

For the purpose of the Share Exchange, the existing Crosshair Class A Shares, owned by a Non-Resident Shareholder at the time of the Share Exchange will be considered “excluded property” for purposes of section 116 of the Tax Act. Therefore, there is no Canadian tax liability to be withheld by Crosshair at the time of the Share Exchange and Share Transfer, nor is there an obligation for the Non-Resident Holder to obtain a certificate from the CRA in respect of the proposed Share Exchange.

Dissenting Shareholders Not Resident in Canada

This part of the summary addresses a Non-Resident Shareholder who exercises his or her dissent rights. Such Non-Resident Shareholder is referred to in this part of the summary as a “Dissenting Non-Resident”, and this part of the summary only addresses such Dissenting Non-Residents.

A Dissenting Non-Resident will be deemed to receive a dividend from Crosshair in the same circumstances as described above for Canadian Dissenters (under “Dissenting Shareholders Resident in Canada”). The deemed dividend, and any interest awarded by a Court, will be subject to a 25% withholding tax under the Tax Act, unless such rate of withholding is reduced pursuant to an income tax treaty in force between Canada and the Non-Resident Shareholder’s jurisdiction of residence. Crosshair will apply the 25% withholding tax on payments made by it except to the extent Crosshair is satisfied that the Dissenting Non-Resident qualifies for a lower rate of withholding tax by virtue of an applicable tax treaty (if any).

A Dissenting Non-Resident will also realize a capital gain or loss in the same circumstances as described above for Canadian Dissenters (under “Dissenting Shareholders Resident in Canada”). The Dissenting Non- Resident will be subject to tax in respect of such capital gain only if the Dissenting Non-Resident’s Crosshair Class A Shares constitute “taxable Canadian property” and the Dissenting Non-Resident is not entitled to relief under an applicable tax treaty (if any).

Crosshair Class A Shares will not be “taxable Canadian property” to a Dissenting Non- Resident provided the conditions set out above described in “Non-Resident Shareholders who Participate in the Plan of Arrangement” are met.


- 44 -

Disposition of Crosshair New Shares or Gemini Shares by a Non-Resident Shareholder

Any capital gain realized by a Non-Resident Shareholder on the disposition or deemed disposition of Crosshair New Shares or Gemini Shares, acquired pursuant to the Share Exchange, will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act provided that the shares do not constitute “taxable Canadian property” (as defined in the Tax Act) of the Non-Resident Shareholder, at the time of disposition, or where an applicable income tax treaty exempts the capital gain from tax under the Tax Act.

In the case of Crosshair New Shares or Gemini Shares that are “taxable Canadian property” owned by a Non-Resident Shareholder, where any capital gain that would be realized on the disposition of the share is not exempt from tax under the Tax Act pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty, the consequences discussed above under “Taxation of Capital Gains and Losses”, will generally apply.

Dividends on Crosshair New Shares and Gemini Shares Received by a Non-Resident Shareholder

Dividends paid, deemed to be paid, or credited on Crosshair New Shares and Gemini Shares to a Non-Resident Shareholder will be subject to withholding tax under the Tax Act at a rate of 25% unless the rate is reduced by an applicable income tax treaty.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

NOTICE PURSUANT TO INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE CIRCULAR 230: NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS DISCUSSION CONCERNING ANY US FEDERAL TAX ISSUE IS INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE USED, AND IT CANNOT BE USED, BY A U.S. HOLDER FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING US FEDERAL TAX PENALTIES UNDER THE CODE (AS DEFINED BELOW). THE DISCUSSION BELOW WAS WRITTEN TO SUPPORT THE PROMOTION OR MARKETING OF THE TRANSACTIONS OR MATTERS ADDRESSED BY THIS INFORMATION CIRCULAR. EACH U.S. HOLDER SHOULD SEEK US FEDERAL TAX ADVICE, BASED ON SUCH HOLDER’S PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES, FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR.

The following is a summary of the anticipated material U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of the Arrangement.

This summary is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal income tax consequences that may apply to a U.S. Holder as a result of the Arrangement. In addition, this summary does not take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular U.S. Holder that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement to such U.S. Holder. Accordingly, this summary is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or U.S. federal income tax advice with respect to any U.S. Holder. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income, U.S. state and local, and foreign tax consequences of the Arrangement.

No legal opinion from U.S. legal counsel or ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has been requested, or will be obtained, regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement to U.S. Holders. This summary is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS is not precluded from taking a position that is different from, and contrary to, the positions taken in this summary. In addition, because the authorities on which this summary is based are subject to various interpretations, the IRS and the U.S. courts could disagree with one or more of the positions taken in this summary.


- 45 -

Scope of this Disclosure

Authorities

This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations, published rulings of the IRS, published administrative positions of the IRS, and U.S. court decisions that are applicable and, in each case, as in effect and available, as of the date of this Information Circular. Any of the authorities on which this summary is based could be changed in a material and adverse manner at any time, and any such change could be applied on a retroactive basis. This summary does not discuss the potential effects, whether adverse or beneficial, of any proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied on a retroactive basis.

U.S. Holders

For purposes of this summary, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of Crosshair Shares that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is (a) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S., (b) a corporation, or any other entity classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, that is created or organized in or under the laws of the U.S., any state in the U.S., or the District of Columbia, (c) an estate if the income of such estate is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of the source of such income, or (d) a trust if (i) such trust has validly elected to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (ii) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust.

Non-U.S. Holders

A “non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of Crosshair Shares other than a U.S. Holder. This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement to non-U.S. Holders. Accordingly, non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income, U.S. state and local, and foreign tax consequences (including the potential application and operation of any income tax treaties) of the Arrangement.

U.S. Holders Subject to Special U.S. Federal Income Tax Rules Not Addressed

This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement to U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including the following U.S. Holders: (a) U.S. Holders that are tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax-deferred accounts; (b) U.S. Holders that are financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, or regulated investment companies; (c) U.S. Holders that are dealers in securities or currencies or U.S. Holders that are traders in securities that elect to apply a mark-to-market accounting method; (d) U.S. Holders that have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar; (e) U.S. Holders that are liable for the alternative minimum tax under the Code; (f) U.S. Holders that own Crosshair Shares as part of a straddle, hedging transaction, conversion transaction, constructive sale, or other arrangement involving more than one position; (g) U.S. Holders that hold Crosshair Shares other than as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code; (h) U.S. Holders who are U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States or (i) U.S. Holders that own (directly, indirectly, or constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of Crosshair entitled to vote. U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including U.S. Holders described immediately above, should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement.


- 46 -

If an entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Crosshair Shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement to such partnership and the partners of such partnership generally will depend on the activities of the partnership and the status of such partners. Partners of entities that are classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement.

Tax Consequences in Other Jurisdictions Not Addressed

This summary does not address the U.S. state or local tax consequences, or the tax consequences in jurisdictions other than the U.S., of the Arrangement to U.S. Holders. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. state and local and foreign tax consequences of the Arrangement.

Transactions Not Addressed

This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders of transactions entered into prior to, concurrently with, or subsequent to the Arrangement (regardless of whether any such transaction is undertaken in connection with the Arrangement), including, but not limited to, the following transactions: (a) any exercise of any warrant to acquire Crosshair Shares; (b) any conversion of any note, debenture, or other debt instrument of Crosshair; and (c) any conversion of any stock option, warrant, or other right to acquire Crosshair Shares into a stock option, warrant, or other right to acquire Gemini Shares.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Arrangement

The Arrangement will be effected under applicable provisions of Canadian corporate law, which are technically different from analogous provisions of U.S. corporate law. Therefore, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of certain aspects of the Arrangement are not certain. This summary assumes that (a) the renaming and redesignation of the Crosshair Shares as Crosshair Class A Shares and (b) the exchange by the Shareholders of the Crosshair Class A Shares for Crosshair New Shares and Gemini Shares, taken together, will properly be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, under the step-transaction doctrine or otherwise, solely as a distribution by Crosshair of the Gemini Shares to the Shareholders under Section 301 of the Code.

There can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge this U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Arrangement or that, if challenged, a U.S. court would not agree with the IRS. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the proper treatment of the Arrangement for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Distribution of Gemini Shares

Subject to the “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) rules discussed below under “Potential Application of the PFIC Rules to the Arrangement,” a U.S. Holders that receives Gemini Shares pursuant to the Arrangement will be treated as receiving a distribution of property in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Gemini shares received on the distribution date (without reduction for any Canadian income or other tax withheld from such distribution). Such distribution would be taxable to the U.S. Holder as a dividend to the extent of Crosshair’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. It is uncertain whether any such dividend will qualify for the reduced U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to “qualified dividend income” under Section 1(h)(11) of the Code since Crosshair has not determined whether or not it is a PFIC for the current taxable year or was a PFIC for any prior taxable year. Any such dividend generally will not be eligible for the “dividends received deduction” in the case of corporate U.S. Holders. To the extent that the fair market value of the Gemini Shares exceeds the current


- 47 -

and accumulated earnings and profits of Crosshair, the distribution of the Gemini Shares pursuant to the Arrangement will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of a U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Crosshair Shares with any remaining amount being taxed as a capital gain. Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or trust. There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is a corporation.

Dissenting U.S. Holders

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below under “Potential Application of the PFIC Rules to the Arrangement,” a U.S. Holder that exercises the right to dissent from the Arrangement and receives cash for such U.S. Holder’s Crosshair Shares generally will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (a) the amount of cash received by such U.S. Holder in exchange for the Crosshair Shares and (b) the tax basis of such U.S. Holder in the Crosshair Shares surrendered, provided such U.S. Holder does not actually or constructively own any Crosshair New Shares after the Arrangement. Such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss, which will be long-term capital gain or loss if the Crosshair Shares are held for more than one year. Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or trust. There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is a corporation. Deductions for capital losses are subject to complex limitations under the Code.

If a U.S. Holder that exercises the right to dissent from the Arrangement and receives cash for such U.S. Holder’s Crosshair Shares actually or constructively owns Crosshair New Shares after the Arrangement, all or a portion of the cash received by such U.S. Holder may be taxable as a dividend to the extent of Crosshair’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. It is uncertain whether any such dividend will qualify for the reduced U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to “qualified dividend income” under Section 1(h)(11) of the Code since Crosshair has not determined whether or not it is a PFIC for the current taxable year or was a PFIC for any prior taxable year. Any such dividend generally will not be eligible for the “dividends received deduction” in the case of corporate U.S. Holders. To the extent that the amount of cash received exceeds the current and accumulated earnings and profits of Crosshair, a U.S. Holder’s receipt of cash would be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Crosshair Shares with any remaining amount being taxed as a capital gain. Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or trust. There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is a corporation.

Potential Application of the PFIC Rules to the Arrangement

Qualification of Crosshair as a PFIC

A non-U.S. corporation is classified as a “passive foreign investment company,” or a “PFIC” within the meaning of Sections 1291 through 1298 of the Code for each taxable year in which (a) 75% or more of its income is passive income (as defined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or (b) on average for such taxable year, 50% or more (by value) of its assets either produce or are held for the production of passive income. In addition, if a corporation is classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder has held shares of such corporation, such corporation may continue to be classified as a PFIC for any subsequent taxable year in which the U.S. Holder continues to hold the shares even if the corporation’s income and costs are no longer passive in nature in that subsequent taxable year. For purposes of the PFIC provisions, passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents and gains from some securities and commodities transactions.

Crosshair has not determined whether or not it is a PFIC for the current taxable year or was a PFIC for any prior taxable year. In addition, Crosshair has not determined whether or not Gemini will be a PFIC for the current taxable year. Whether Crosshair is, or Gemini will be, a PFIC for the current taxable year depends on the assets and income of Crosshair and Gemini, respectively, over the course of such taxable year and, as a result, cannot be predicted with certainty as of the date of this Information Circular. The determination of whether Crosshair or Gemini meets the definition of a PFIC for a taxable year depends, in part, on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to differing interpretations. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge any determination made by Crosshair that either Crosshair or Gemini was not or will not be a PFIC.

Effect of PFIC Rules on the Distribution of Gemini Shares

Crosshair has not determined whether or not it is a PFIC for the current taxable year or was a PFIC for any prior taxable year. If Crosshair was a PFIC or is a PFIC at any time during a U.S. Holder’s holding period of the Crosshair Shares, the effect of the PFIC rules on such U.S. Holder as to certain transactions involving such U.S. Holder’s Crosshair Shares, including the distribution of the Gemini Shares pursuant to the Arrangement, would depend on whether such U.S. Holder has made (i) an election to treat Crosshair as a “qualified electing fund” or “QEF” under Section 1295 of the Code or (ii) a mark-to-market election under Section 1296 of the Code (a “Mark-to-Market Election”) with respect to such U.S. Holders Crosshair Shares. Crosshair has not and does not anticipate satisfying the record keeping and information disclosure requirements that are necessary for a U.S. Holder to elect to treat Crosshair as a “qualified electing fund” or “QEF” under Section 1295 of the Code. Consequently, if Crosshair was a PFIC or is a PFIC at any time during a U.S. Holder’s holding period of the Crosshair Shares, the effect of the PFIC rules on a U.S. Holder with respect to the distribution of the Gemini Shares pursuant to the Arrangement would depend on whether such U.S. Holder has in effect a Market-to-Market election with respect to such U.S. Holder’s Crosshair Shares for the taxable year in which the distribution of the Gemini Shares occurs pursuant to the Arrangement. In this summary, a U.S. Holder that does not have in effect a Mark-to-Market Election with respect to such U.S. Holders Crosshair Shares for the taxable year in which the distribution of the Gemini Shares occurs pursuant to the Arrangement is referred to as a “Non-Electing Shareholder.” A U.S. Holder that has in effect a Mark-to-Market Election with respect to such U.S. Holders Crosshair Shares for the taxable year in which the distribution of the Gemini Shares occurs pursuant to the Arrangement is referred to as an “Electing Shareholder.”

With respect to a Non-Electing Shareholder, the PFIC rules would apply to gain recognized on the disposition of such Non-Electing Shareholder’s Crosshair Shares and “excess distributions” (generally, distributions received in the current taxable year that are in excess of 125% of the average distributions received during the three preceding years or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Crosshair Shares) received on such Non-Electing Shareholder’s Crosshair Shares. Any gain or excess distribution would be ratably allocated to each day in a Non-Electing Shareholder’s holding period for the Crosshair Shares. The amount of any gain or excess distribution allocated to the current year, and to years prior to the first taxable year of Crosshair beginning after December 31, 1986 for which Crosshair was a PFIC, would be treated as ordinary income in the current year. The amount of any gain or excess distribution allocated to prior years (other than years prior to the first taxable year of Crosshair beginning after December 31, 1986 for which Crosshair was a PFIC) would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the highest tax rate applicable to ordinary income in each such prior year, and interest would be imposed on the resulting tax liability for each such prior year, calculated as if such tax liability had been due in each such prior year.

If the distribution of the Gemini Shares pursuant to the Arrangement constitutes an “excess distribution” with respect to a Non-Electing Shareholder, such Non-Electing Shareholder would be subject to the PFIC


- 49 -

rules described above upon the receipt of the Gemini Shares. In addition, if Gemini were to be a PIFC for the current year, the distribution of the Gemini Shares pursuant to the Arrangement may be treated, under proposed Treasury Regulations, as an “indirect disposition” by a Non-Electing Shareholder of such Non-Electing Shareholder’s indirect interest in Gemini, which generally would be subject to the PFIC rules described above.

An Electing Shareholder generally would not be subject to the PFIC rules described above upon the receipt of the Gemini Shares pursuant to the Arrangement. Instead, the consequences to an Electing Shareholder of the distribution of the Gemini Shares pursuant to the Arrangement would be the same as the consequences described above under “Distribution of the Gemini Shares.”

Crosshair has not determined whether or not it is a PFIC for the current taxable year or was a PFIC for any prior taxable year. The PFIC rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the PFIC rules and how the PFIC rules may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement. In particular, each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the availability of, the procedure for making, and other important U.S. federal income tax consequences of making a Mark-to-Market Election.

Foreign Tax Credit

A U.S. Holder who pays (or has withheld from distributions) Canadian or other foreign income tax with respect to the Arrangement may be entitled, at the option of the U.S. Holder, to either receive a deduction or a tax credit for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to such foreign tax paid or withheld. There are significant and complex limitations that apply to the foreign tax credit, among which is the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of the U.S. Holder’s U.S. income tax liability that the U.S. Holder’s “foreign source” income bears to his or its worldwide taxable income. In applying this limitation, the various items of income and deduction must be classified as either “foreign source” or “U.S. source.” Complex rules govern this classification process.

In addition, U.S. Holders that are corporations and that own 10% or more of our voting stock may be entitled to an “indirect” foreign tax credit under Section 902 of the Code with respect to the payment of dividends by us under certain circumstances and subject to complex rules and limitations. The availability of the foreign tax credit and the application of the limitations with respect to the foreign tax credit are fact specific, and each U.S. Holder of our common shares should consult their own tax advisor regarding the foreign tax credit rules.

Information Reporting; Backup Withholding Tax

The distribution within the U.S., or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman, of the Gemini Shares pursuant to the Arrangement generally will be subject to information reporting and backup withholding tax, at the rate of 28%, if a U.S. Holder (a) fails to furnish such U.S. Holder’s correct U.S. taxpayer identification number (generally on Form W-9), (b) furnishes an incorrect U.S. taxpayer identification number, (c) is notified by the IRS that such U.S. Holder has previously failed to properly report items subject to backup withholding tax, or (d) fails to certify, under penalty of perjury, that such U.S. Holder has furnished its correct U.S. taxpayer identification number and that the IRS has not notified such U.S. Holder that it is subject to backup withholding tax. However, U.S. Holders that are corporations generally are excluded from these information reporting and backup withholding tax rules. Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, or will be refunded, if such U.S. Holder furnishes required information to the IRS.

Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the information reporting and backup withholding tax rules.

RIGHTS OF DISSENT

Dissenters’ Rights

As indicated in the Notice of Meeting, a registered Shareholder is entitled to dissent and be paid by Crosshair the fair value of his, her or its Crosshair Shares in accordance with section 245 of the BCBCA if such registered Shareholder dissents from the Arrangement and otherwise complies with the procedure set out in section 242 of the BCBCA and the Arrangement Resolution is passed at the Meeting. The statutory provisions dealing with the right of dissent are technical and complex. Any Shareholder who wishes to exercise his, her or its right to dissent should seek his, her or its own legal advice, as failure to comply strictly with the provisions of section 242 of the BCBCA may prejudice such Shareholder’s right of dissent. The relevant provisions of the BCBCA are set out in Schedule “H” of this Information Circular.

In order for a Shareholder to dissent, a written objection (an “Objection Notice”) to the Arrangement Resolution must be received by Crosshair, to the attention of the Secretary, at its head office, Suite 1240, 1140 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 4G1, no later than 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on September 10, 2008. A vote against the Arrangement Resolution, an abstention, or the execution of a proxy to vote against the Arrangement Resolution, does not constitute an Objection Notice.

Holders of Crosshair Warrants or Crosshair Options must validly exercise their Crosshair Warrants or Crosshair Options, become registered holders of Crosshair Shares prior to the Meeting and otherwise comply with the BCBCA, including section 242 of the BCBCA, in order to exercise the Dissent Right.

A Dissenting Shareholder may only dissent under section 242 with respect to all the Crosshair Shares held by such Dissenting Shareholder or held on behalf of any one beneficial owner and registered in the Dissenting Shareholder’s name. A Shareholder is not entitled to dissent with respect to his, her or its shares if he, she or it votes any of his, her or its Crosshair Shares in favour of the Arrangement Resolution. Beneficial owners of Crosshair Shares registered in the name of a broker, custodian, nominee or other intermediary who wish to dissent should be aware that only registered Shareholders are entitled to dissent. Accordingly, a beneficial owner of Crosshair Shares desiring to exercise the right to dissent must make arrangements for the Crosshair Shares beneficially owned by such Shareholder to be registered in his, her or its name prior to the time the Objection Notice is required to be received, or alternatively, make arrangements for the registered Shareholder to dissent on the beneficial holder’s behalf.

A Dissenting Shareholder who has complied with the provisions of section 242, or Crosshair, may apply to the Court for an order requiring such Dissenting Shareholder’s Crosshair Shares to be purchased, fixing the price and terms of the purchase and sale or ordering that they may be determined by arbitration, and the Court may make such order and such consequential orders or directions as the Court considers appropriate. There is no obligation on Crosshair to make application to the Court. The Dissenting Shareholder will be entitled to receive the fair value of the Shares held by such holder as of the day before the Meeting or such later date on which the Special Resolution to authorize the Arrangement is passed.

A Dissenting Shareholder ceases to have any rights as a Shareholder, other than the right to be paid the fair value of the Crosshair Shares in the amount agreed to between Crosshair and the Dissenting Shareholder or in the amount of the judgment, as the case may be, on the earliest of the Effective Date,


- 51 -

the making of an agreement between Crosshair and the Dissenting Shareholder as to the payment to be made for the Dissenting Shareholder’s Crosshair Shares, and the pronouncement of the order of the Court fixing the fair value of the Crosshair Shares. Until any of the foregoing events occurs, the Shareholder may withdraw the Dissenting Shareholder’s dissent, or Crosshair may rescind the Arrangement Resolution and in either event, proceedings under Part 8 of the BCBCA shall be discontinued.

Strict Compliance with Dissent Provisions Required

The above summary does not purport to provide a comprehensive statement of the procedures to be followed by a Dissenting Shareholder who seeks payment of the fair value of his Crosshair Shares. Section 242 of the BCBCA requires strict adherence to the procedures established therein and failure to do so may result in the loss of all rights dissent. Accordingly, each registered Shareholder who might desire to exercise the right of dissent and appraisal should carefully consider and comply with the relevant provisions of the BCBCA dealing with dissent, and consult his own legal advisor. The full text of sections 237-247 of the BCBCA is set out in Schedule “H”.

The Arrangement Agreement provides that, unless otherwise waived, it is a condition to the obligation of Crosshair and Gemini to complete the Arrangement, that, on or before the Effective Date, holders of not more than 3% in the aggregate of the outstanding Crosshair Shares shall have exercised the right to dissent. If the number of outstanding Crosshair Shares in respect of which the right to dissent have been exercised exceeds 3% in the aggregate the Arrangement will not proceed unless Crosshair waives such condition.

Shareholders who wish to exercise the right to dissent should review the dissent procedures described in Schedule “H” and seek legal advice, as failure to adhere strictly to the right to dissent requirements may result in the loss or unavailability of any right to dissent.

RISK FACTORS

The risk factors set out below assume the completion of the Arrangement. If the Arrangement is not consummated, the risk factors of both Crosshair and Gemini will remain the risk factors that Shareholders should carefully consider, in addition to the other information contained in this Information Circular. These risk factors are not a definitive list of all risk factors associated with Crosshair and Gemini.

Possible Non-Completion of the Arrangement

There is no assurance that the Arrangement will receive regulatory, Court or Shareholder approval or will be completed. If the Arrangement is not completed, Shareholders will lose the prospective benefits of the Arrangement, the share price of the Crosshair Shares may suffer and Shareholders will continue to be subject to the risk factors of both Crosshair and Gemini as disclosed in this Information Circular.

No known Reserves or Resources

Crosshair and Gemini’s properties are in the exploration stage and are without a known body of commercial mineral deposits.

Crosshair and Gemini have no mineral producing properties at this time. Only those mineral deposits that Crosshair and Gemini can economically and legally extract or produce, based on a comprehensive evaluation of cost, grade, recovery and other factors, are considered “resources” or “reserves.” Crosshair and Gemini have not defined or delineated any proven or probable reserves or resources on any of its properties. Although the mineralized material and mineralized deposit estimates included herein have


- 52 -

been carefully prepared by Crosshair and Gemini, or, in some instances have been prepared, reviewed or verified by independent mining experts, these amounts are estimates only and no assurance can be given that any particular level of recovery of gold, silver or other minerals from mineralized material will in fact be realized or that an identified mineralized deposit will ever qualify as a commercially mineable (or viable) reserve.

Crosshair and Gemini planned exploration programs may not result in profitable commercial mining operations

Crosshair and Gemini’s operations involve exploration, and there is no guarantee that any of Crosshair and Gemini’s activities will result in commercial production of any mineral deposits. The exploration for and development of mineral deposits involves significant financial and other risks which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable deposits. Major expenses are required to locate and establish mineral reserves, to develop metallurgical processes, and to construct mining and processing facilities at a particular site. Crosshair and Gemini’s planned exploration programs may not result in a profitable commercial mining operation. Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, some of which are: the particular attributes of the deposit, such as quantity and quality of the minerals, costs and efficiency of the recovery methods that can be employed; proximity to infrastructure; financing costs; mineral prices, which are highly cyclical; and government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted but could have a material adverse effect upon Crosshair and Gemini’s operations and/or their ability to receive an adequate return on their invested capital. There is no certainty that their expenditures made towards the search and evaluation of uranium, iron oxide, copper, gold and other minerals and base metals will result in discoveries of mineral resources, mineral reserves or any other mineral occurrences, or in profitable commercial mining operations.

Mining operations generally involve a high degree of risk

Crosshair and Gemini’s operations are subject to all the hazards and risks normally encountered in the exploration, development and production of uranium and other minerals, including environmental pollution, accidents or spills, industrial accidents, labour disputes, changes in the regulatory environment, natural phenomena, unusual and unexpected geologic formations, seismic activity, rock bursts, cave-ins, flooding and other conditions involved in the drilling and removal of material, any of which could result in damage to, or destruction of, mines and other producing facilities, damage to life or property, environmental damage, delays in or cessation of production, exploration or development, monetary losses, cost increases which could make them uncompetitive, and lead to possible legal liability. Although adequate precautions to minimize risk will be taken, mining operations are subject to hazards such as equipment failure or failure of retaining dams around tailings disposal areas which may result in environmental pollution and consequent liability. In addition, due to the radioactive nature of the materials handled in uranium mining, applicable regulatory requirements result in additional costs that must be incurred.

Crosshair and Gemini’s resource estimates may not be reliable

There is no certainty that any of Crosshair and Gemini’s mineral resources will be economically mineable. Until a deposit is actually mined and processed the quantity of mineral resources and grades must be considered as estimates only. Valid estimates made at a given time may significantly change when new information becomes available. In addition, the quantity of mineral resources may vary depending on, among other things, metal prices. Any material change in quantity of mineral resources,


- 53 -

grade or stripping ratio may affect the economic viability of Crosshair and Gemini’s properties or any project they undertake. In addition, there can be no assurance that mineral or other metal recoveries in small scale laboratory tests will be duplicated in a larger scale test under on-site conditions or during production.

Fluctuations in prices of uranium, iron oxide, copper, gold and other minerals and base metals, results of drilling, metallurgical testing and production and the evaluation of studies, reports and plans subsequent to the date of any estimate may require revision of such estimate. Any material reductions in estimates of mineral resources could have a material adverse effect on Crosshair and Gemini’s results of operations and financial condition.

Crosshair and Gemini rely on a limited number of properties

Crosshair and Gemini’s only properties of interest are currently the CMB Properties and the Spin-Off Properties. As a result, unless they acquire additional property interests, any adverse developments affecting the CMB Properties and the Spin-Off Properties could have a material adverse effect upon Crosshair and Gemini’s business and would materially and adversely affect Crosshair and Gemini’s potential mineral resource production, profitability, financial performance and results of operations.

Competition from other energy sources and public acceptance of nuclear energy may affect the demand for uranium

Nuclear energy competes with other sources of energy, including oil, natural gas, coal and hydroelectricity. These other energy sources are to some extent interchangeable with nuclear energy, particularly over the longer term. Lower prices of oil, natural gas, coal and hydro-electricity may result in lower demand for uranium concentrate and uranium conversion services. Furthermore, the growth of the uranium and nuclear power industry beyond its current level will depend upon continued and increased acceptance of nuclear technology as a means of generating electricity. Because of unique political, technological and environmental factors that affect the nuclear industry, the industry is subject to public opinion risks which could have an adverse impact on the demand for nuclear power and increase the regulation of the nuclear power industry.

Competition in the uranium industry may adversely affect Crosshair’s ability to acquire additional properties

The international uranium industry is highly competitive. The uranium mining industry is global and consists of a small, decreasing number of large players. Competition for new mining properties from these larger, more established companies may prevent us from acquiring interests in additional properties or mining operations. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that they will acquire any interest in additional operations that would yield reserves or result in commercial mining operations.

Crosshair and Gemini do not have a history of mineral production or operations

Crosshair and Gemini have never had any interest in mineral producing properties. There is no assurance that commercial quantities of minerals will be discovered at Crosshair and Gemini’s current properties or any future properties, nor is there any assurance that Crosshair and Gemini’s exploration programs thereon will yield any positive results. Even if commercial quantities of minerals are discovered, there can be no assurance that any of Crosshair and Gemini’s properties will ever be brought to a stage where mineral resources can profitably be produced thereon. Factors which may limit Crosshair and Gemini’s ability to produce mineral resources from its properties include, but are not limited to, the price of the


- 54 -

mineral resources which are being explored for, availability of additional capital and financing and the nature of any mineral deposits.

Crosshair and Gemini do not have an extensive operating history and there can be no assurance of Crosshair and Gemini’s ability to operate Crosshair and Gemini’s projects profitably in the future.

Crosshair and Gemini’s insurance will not cover all the potential risks associated with their operations

Crosshair and Gemini’s business is subject to a number of risks and hazards generally, including adverse environmental conditions, industrial accidents, labour disputes, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, ground or slope failures, cave-ins, changes in the regulatory environment and natural phenomena such as inclement weather conditions, floods and earthquakes. Such occurrences could result in damage to mineral properties or production facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage to Crosshair and Gemini’s properties or other properties, delays in mining, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

Crosshair and Gemini’s insurance will not cover all the potential risks associated with a mining company’s operations. Crosshair and Gemini may also be unable to maintain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums. Insurance coverage may not be available or may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability. Moreover, there are risks against which they cannot insure or against which they may elect not to insure. Insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards as a result of exploration and production is not generally available to us or to other companies in the uranium mining industry. Crosshair and Gemini might also become subject to liability for pollution or other hazards which they may not be insured against or which they may elect not to insure against because of premium costs or other reasons. Losses from these events may cause substantial delays and require us to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon Crosshair and Gemini’s financial condition, results of operations, competitive position and potentially Crosshair and Gemini’s financial viability.

Crosshair and Gemini’s operations are subject to environmental regulation

All phases of Crosshair and Gemini’s operations are subject to environmental regulation in the various jurisdictions in which they operate or may operate in the future. These regulations mandate, among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards and land reclamation. They also set forth limitations on the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner that will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects, and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect Crosshair and Gemini’s operations. Environmental hazards may exist on the properties on which they hold interests which are unknown to us at present and which have been caused by previous or existing owners or operators of the properties.

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions there under, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. Parties engaged in mining operations or in the exploration or development of mineral properties may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations.


- 55 -

Crosshair and Gemini’s operations are dependent on adequate infrastructure

Mining, processing, development and exploration activities depend, to one degree or another, on adequate infrastructure. Reliable roads, bridges, power sources and water supply are important determinants, which affect capital and operating costs. Unusual or infrequent weather phenomena, sabotage, government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of such infrastructure could adversely affect Crosshair and Gemini’s operations, financial condition and results of operations.

Crosshair and Gemini’s properties may be subject to undetected title defects

It is possible there may still be undetected title defects affecting Crosshair and Gemini’s properties. Title insurance generally is not available, and Crosshair and Gemini’s ability to ensure that they have obtained secure claim to individual mineral properties or mining concessions may be severely constrained. Furthermore, they have not conducted surveys of the claims in which they hold interests and, therefore, the precise area and location of such claims may be in doubt. Accordingly, Crosshair and Gemini’s properties may be subject to prior unregistered liens, agreements, transfers or claims, and title may be affected by, among other things, undetected defects which could have a material adverse impact on Crosshair and Gemini’s operations. In addition, Crosshair and Gemini may be unable to operate Crosshair their properties as permitted or to enforce their rights with respect to their properties.

Crosshair and Gemini may be subject to additional costs for land reclamation

It is difficult to determine the exact amounts which will be required to complete all land reclamation activities in connection with the CMB Properties and the Spin-Off Properties. Reclamation bonds and other forms of financial assurance represent only a portion of the total amount of money that will be spent on reclamation activities over the life of a mine. Accordingly, it may be necessary to revise planned expenditures and operating plans in order to fund reclamation activities. Such costs may have a material adverse impact upon Crosshair and Gemini’s financial condition and results of operations.

The inability to obtain necessary permits would adversely affect Crosshair and Gemini’s ability to operate their business

Crosshair and Gemini may not receive the necessary permits or receive them on acceptable terms, if at all, in order to conduct further exploration and to develop the CMB Properties and the Golden Promise, South Golden Promise and Victoria Lake properties. The failure to obtain such permits, or delays in obtaining such permits, could adversely affect Crosshair and Gemini’s operations.

Government approvals, approval of aboriginal people and permits are currently and may in the future be required in connection with Crosshair and Gemini’s operations. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained; they may be curtailed or prohibited from continuing Crosshair and Gemini’s mining operations or from proceeding with planned exploration or development of mineral properties.

Crosshair and Gemini face strong competition for the acquisition of mining properties

The mining industry is competitive in all of its phases. Crosshair and Gemini face strong competition from other mining companies in connection with the acquisition of properties producing, or capable of producing, base metals. Many of these companies have greater financial resources, operational experience and technical capabilities than Crosshair and Gemini do. As a result of this competition, they may be unable to maintain or acquire attractive mining properties on terms they consider acceptable, if at all. Consequently, Crosshair and Gemini’s revenues, operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.


- 56 -

Crosshair and Gemini do not have a hedging policy and are subject to risk from declines in mineral prices

Crosshair and Gemini do not have a hedging policy and they have no current intention of adopting such a policy. Accordingly, they have no protections from declines in mineral prices.

Crosshair and Gemini will require additional capital for Crosshair and Gemini’s mining operations

The development and exploration of Crosshair and Gemini’s mining properties will require substantial additional financing. Failure to obtain sufficient financing may result in the delay or indefinite postponement of exploration, development or production on Crosshair and Gemini’s properties or even a loss of property interest. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available if needed or that, if available, the terms of financing such capital will be acceptable to us. In addition, any future financing may be dilutive to Crosshair and Gemini’s existing shareholders.

Future production from Crosshair and Gemini’s mining properties, if any, is dependent upon the prices of uranium, iron oxide, copper, gold and other minerals and base metals being adequate to make these properties economically viable

Mineral prices received, if any, could be such that Crosshair and Gemini’s properties cannot be mined at a profit. The price of Crosshair and Gemini’s common shares, and their financial results and exploration, development and mining activities may in the future be significantly and adversely affected by declines in the price of uranium, iron oxide, copper, gold and other minerals and base metals. The price of uranium, iron oxide, copper, gold and other minerals and base metals fluctuates widely and is affected by numerous factors beyond the control of Crosshair and Gemini such as the sale or purchase of commodities by various central banks and financial institutions, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation, fluctuation in the value of the United States dollar and foreign currencies, global and regional supply and demand, the political and economic conditions and production costs of major mineral-producing countries throughout the world, and the cost of substitutes, inventory levels and carrying charges. With respect to uranium, such factors include the demand for nuclear power, political and economic conditions in uranium producing and consuming countries, uranium supply from secondary sources, uranium production levels and costs of production. Future serious price declines in the market value of uranium, iron oxide, copper, gold and other minerals and base metals could cause development of and commercial production from the CMB Properties and the Spin-Off Properties to be impracticable. Depending on the price of uranium, iron oxide, copper, gold and other minerals and base metals, cash flow from mining operations may not be sufficient and Crosshair and Gemini could be forced to discontinue production and may lose Crosshair and Gemini’s interest in, or may be forced to sell, some of their properties. Future production from their mining properties, if any, is dependent upon the prices of uranium, iron oxide, copper, gold and other minerals and base metals being adequate to make these properties economically viable.

In addition to adversely affecting Crosshair and Gemini’s reserve estimates of and their financial condition, declining commodity prices can impact operations by requiring a reassessment of the feasibility of a particular project. Such a reassessment may be the result of a management decision or may be required under financing arrangements related to a particular project. Even if a project is ultimately determined to be economically viable, the need to conduct such a reassessment may cause substantial delays or may interrupt operations until the reassessment can be completed.


- 57 -

Exchange rate fluctuations may effectively increase Crosshair and Gemini’s costs of exploration and production

Exchange rate fluctuations may affect the costs that Crosshair and Gemini incur in their operations. Uranium, iron oxide, copper, gold and other minerals and base metals are generally sold in U.S. dollars and their costs are incurred principally in Canadian dollars. The appreciation of non- U.S. dollar currencies against the U.S. dollar can increase the cost of exploration and production in U.S. dollar terms, which could materially and adversely affect Crosshair and Gemini’s profitability, results of operations and financial condition.

Crosshair and Gemini’s operations are subject to extensive governmental regulation that may adversely affect their operating costs

Crosshair and Gemini’s mining, processing, development and mineral exploration activities are subject to various laws governing prospecting, development, production, taxes, labour standards and occupational health, mine safety, toxic substances, land use, water use, land claims of local people, and other matters. Although Crosshair and Gemini’s exploration and development activities are currently carried out in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations, new rules and regulations may be enacted or existing rules and regulations may be applied in a manner which could limit or curtail production or development. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations and activities of mining and milling or more stringent implementation thereof could have a substantial adverse impact on Crosshair and Gemini’s operations. Worldwide demand for uranium is directly tied to the demand for energy produced by the nuclear electric industry, which is also subject to extensive government regulations and policies.

Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of mining and exploration companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on Crosshair and Gemini’s operations and cause increases in exploration expenses, capital expenditures or production costs, or reduction in levels of production at producing properties, or require abandonment or delays in development of new mining properties.

The market price of Crosshair and Gemini’s common shares may experience substantial volatility

In recent years, the securities markets in the United States and Canada have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many mineral exploration companies have experienced wide fluctuations in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. The price of Crosshair and Gemini’s common shares is also likely to be significantly affected by short-term changes in prices of uranium, iron oxide, copper, gold and other minerals and base metals, or in their financial condition or results of operations as reflected in their quarterly earnings reports. Other factors unrelated to their performance that may have an effect on the price of their common shares include the following: the extent of analytical coverage available to investors concerning their business may be limited if investment banks with research capabilities do not follow their securities; lessening in trading volume and general market interest in their securities may affect an investor’s ability to trade significant numbers of their common shares; the size of their public float may limit the ability of some institutions to invest in their securities; and a substantial decline in the price of their common shares that persists for a significant period of time could cause their securities to be delisted from such exchange, further reducing market liquidity.


- 58 -

Crosshair and Gemini have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future

No dividends on Crosshair and Gemini’s common shares have been paid to date and they have no earnings. They currently plan to retain all future earnings and other cash resources, if any, for the future operation and development of their business. Payment of any future dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of Crosshair and Gemini’s board of directors after taking into account many factors, including their operating results, financial condition, and current and anticipated cash needs.

Future sales of common shares by existing shareholders could adversely affect the trading price of Crosshair and Gemini’s common shares

Sales of a large number of Crosshair and Gemini’s common shares in the public markets, or the potential for such sales, could decrease the trading price of the common shares and could impair their ability to raise capital through future sales of common shares.

Crosshair and Gemini are dependent upon the services of their key executives

Crosshair and Gemini are dependent upon the services of key executives, including Crosshair and Gemini’s directors and a small number of highly skilled and experienced executives and personnel. Due to their relatively small size, the loss of the President of Crosshair and Gemini, Mark Morabito or their inability to attract and retain additional highly-skilled employees may adversely affect their future operations.

Crosshair and Gemini’s directors and officers have certain conflicts of interest

Certain of Crosshair and Gemini’s directors and officers also serve as directors and/or officers of other companies involved in natural resource exploration and development and, consequently, there exists the possibility for such directors and officers to be in a position of conflict. Several of Crosshair and Gemini’s officers and/or directors, including Messrs. Morabito, Liland, Sujir and Wallis and Ms. Bolden, also serve as directors and officers of Target Exploration and Mining Corp. (“Target”). Target is also involved in natural resource exploration and development. While Target’s operations are focused in geographical locations different from ours, it is possible that various opportunities may arise in which Mr. Morabito and Crosshair and Gemini’s other directors may experience a conflict of interest and could result in a diversion of opportunities to Target. Crosshair and Gemini have no formal measures in place to prevent such conflicts of interest. As a result of such conflicts, transactions between us and Target may not be on the same terms as would a transaction negotiated by unaffiliated third parties at arms’ length.

Crosshair and Gemini have minimal positive cash flow and no recent history of earnings and they are dependent upon public and private contributions of equity to obtain capital in order to sustain Crosshair and Gemini’s operations

None of Crosshair and Gemini’s properties have advanced to the commercial production stage and they have no history of earnings or positive cash flow from operations. Crosshair and Gemini do not know if they will ever generate material revenue from mining operations or if they will ever achieve self-sustaining commercial mining operations. Historically, the only source of funds available to us has been through the sale of Crosshair and Gemini’s equity securities. Any future additional equity financing would cause dilution to current stockholders. There is no assurance that Gemini will be able to complete the Financing on terms acceptable to it.

Dilution through employee, director and consultant stock options could adversely affect Crosshair and Gemini’s shareholders by decreasing shareholder value

Because Crosshair and Gemini’s success is highly dependent upon their employees, they have granted to some or all of their key employees, directors and consultants options to purchase common shares as non-cash incentives. To the extent that significant numbers of such options may be granted and exercised, the interests of their other stockholders may be diluted.

U.S. investors may not be able to enforce their civil liabilities against Crosshair and Gemini or their directors, controlling persons and officers

It may be difficult to bring and enforce suits against Crosshair and Gemini. Crosshair and Gemini are incorporated in the province of British Columbia under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (formerly the Company Act). Crosshair and Gemini’s officers and directors are residents of Canada, and all or substantial portions of the assets of Crosshair, Gemini and their officers and directors are located outside of the United States, predominantly in Canada. As a result, it may be difficult for U.S. holders of their securities to effect service of process on these entities or individuals within the United States or to realize in the United States upon judgments rendered against them. In addition, a securityholder should not assume that the courts of Canada (i) would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against Crosshair or Gemini or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or other laws of the United States, or (ii) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against Crosshair or Gemini or such persons predicated upon the U.S. federal securities laws or other laws of the United States.

Mineral Properties to be Held Following the Arrangement

Crosshair has been, and after completion of the Arrangement will continue to be, a mining and exploration company. After the Effective Date, Crosshair will own the CMB Properties, a description of which is set out below.

Following completion of the Arrangement, Crosshair’s material properties, for the purpose of NI 43-101, will be the CMB Properties which have been the subject of a NI 43-101 compliant technical report entitled Form 43-101 Technical Report on the Central Mineral Belt (CMB) Uranium Project, Labrador, Canada dated July 31,2008 (the “CMB Report”). The authors of the CMB Report are Gary H. Giroux, P.Eng. MASc. and Jeffery A. Morgan. P.Geo. who are “qualified persons” within the meaning of NI 43-101, and the disclosure in this Information Circular considering the CMB Properties have been prepared with their consent. A copy of the CMB Report is available upon request from Crosshair and is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

The following is a summary of certain portions of the CMB Report, and is qualified by and should be read together with the CMB Report in full, for a complete set of references and authorities for the statements made in this Information Circular. The CMB Report contains tables and data that are not included in this summary.

CMB Properties

On October 14, 2004, Crosshair entered into an agreement with a private individual, local prospector Lewis Murphy, for an option to acquire a 90% interest (subject to a 2% NSR and a 10% carried interest to the vendor) in the Moran Lake Property, comprising 67 claims in Central Labrador. On March 1, 2005 Crosshair acquired another 187 claims from Lewis Murphy. The amended and restated Moran Lake option agreement calls for exploration expenditures of $3,000,000 ($22.4 million of exploration work has been carried out as of April 30, 2008), the issuance of 1,600,000 common shares and cash payments of $575,000. The agreement also requires completion of a bankable feasibility study for the commencement of commercial production on the property within 24 months of completion of the aforementioned obligations. On May 21, 2008, Crosshair entered into an agreement with Mr. Murphy whereby it received a three year extension on the requirement to complete the bankable feasibility study such that the study will be due on or before November 10, 2013. A bankable feasibility study is a comprehensive study of the property in which all geological, engineering, legal, operating, economic, social, environmental and other relevant factors are considered in sufficient detail that it could reasonably serve as the basis for a final decision by a financial institution to finance the development of the property for mineral production.

Crosshair subsequently carried out a detailed digital compilation of all the historic work that has been carried out on the property. The TSX Venture Exchange approved this transaction on November 10, 2004.

To date, Crosshair has issued 1,600,000 common shares, made cash payments totaling $425,000 and spent more than the required minimum $3,000,000 on project expenditures. In order to earn its 90% interest in the Moran Lake Property, Crosshair is still required to make a cash payment of $150,000 on or before November 10, 2008 and complete the bankable feasibility study (as described above).

On December 2, 2005, Crosshair entered into an agreement to acquire 56 claims from Triassic Properties Limited, a private St. John’s, Newfoundland based company. The claims cover historic uranium occurrences and are strategically located within the Moran Lake property holdings. In order to earn a 100% interest in the Otter and Portage Lake claims, subject to a 1.5% NSR to the vendor, Crosshair must, over the 3 year term, carry out $600,000 in eligible exploration expenses, issue 225,000 common shares


- 62 -

and pay an aggregate of $140,000. Through April 30, 2007, Crosshair had spent $208,765 in exploration costs, issued 125,000 common shares and made cash payments of $55,000.

In May 2007, Crosshair entered into an agreement with Belmont Resources Inc. and International Montoro Resources Inc. whereby it acquired the option to earn a 75% interest in 139 additional claims comprising four different mineral licences in the Central Mineral Belt of Labrador totaling 34.75 km. Three of the licences, referred to as the Stormy Lake block, are contiguous with the southern boundary of the Central Mineral Belt Project, while the other licence, referred to as the Partridge River block, is situated approximately 95 km west of the property. Under the terms of the agreement, Crosshair could have earned a 75% interest in the claims by carrying out $800,000 in exploration expenditures and issuing 175,000 common shares to the vendors over a three year period. On April 1, 2008, Crosshair terminated its option on the Stormy Lake block and the Partridge River block.

Property Description and Location

The Central Mineral Belt Property is located in the Central Mineral Belt of Labrador, about 140 km north of the town of Happy Valley-Goose Bay and 85 km southwest of the coastal community of Postville on Kaipokok Bay. In a direct line, the property is about 75 km from tidewater to the northeast. The undeveloped Michelin uranium deposit is 60 km east-northeast of the Moran Lake Property. The property area is within the Naskaupi Electoral District of Labrador.

Accessibility

Helicopter and fixed wing service out of Goose Bay are the most efficient means of access to the property. Local infrastructure is confined to the limited facilities of the community of Postville, which has commercial airline service from Goose Bay and commercial ferry service from St John’s, Newfoundland. Coastal boats are available to convey goods and passengers from Happy Valley to Postville. Most necessary goods and services, including charter aircraft, can be obtained in Goose Bay, which has excellent commercial airline connections to St John’s, Halifax and Montreal.

This portion of central Labrador has a sub-Arctic climate, with strong seasonal contrasts marked by short cool summers and long cold winters. Freeze-up typically begins in late October and lasts until early to mid June. Snow cover is relatively heavy and usually lasts seven to eight months. Daytime temperatures during the winter typically range from -15º Celsius to -30º Celsius, while daytime summer temperatures typically range from 15º Celsius to 25º Celsius.

The topography of the Moran Lake area consists of rolling highlands and the average elevation is approximately 300 m above see level, ranging from 140 m and 510 m above sea level. The hilltops can be partly barren while the slopes and valleys are covered in vegetation, mostly scrubby black spruce and some deciduous trees with a thick intervening growth of alders. Almost everywhere there is a thick ground cover of moss. The valleys are steep sided at many locations and are often host to boggy ground with small ponds or lakes. Moran Lake, one of the largest lakes on the property, occupies a prominent valley which trends east-northeast.

History

Uranium was first discovered near Moran Lake by British Newfoundland Exploration Limited (“Brinex”), which conducted prospecting, geological mapping and radiometric surveying in the area from 1956 to 1958. In 1964, Mokta Co. Ltd. (Mokta) acquired a development license for the Moran Lake area and subsequently discovered uranium mineralization at Lady Lake, the site of the present C zone. In following years, Mokta completed a considerable amount of prospecting, trenching and packsack drilling in the Moran Lake A, B and C zones. In 1969 however, Mokta allowed the development license to expire at which time the license was granted to Brinex, which did no further work on the property.

In 1976, the license was granted to Commodore Mining Company Limited (Commodore) which in turn optioned the property to Shell Canada Resources Limited (Shell). During September of 1976, Shell performed geological, magnetometer and Track Etch surveys over the B Z one near Henry Lake and did preliminary geological mapping on the C zone. This led to a 15 hole, 864 meter drill program to test the B Zone uranium mineralization during the winter of 1977.

In the summer of 1977, a full exploration program was carried out on the C Z one including detailed geological mapping, systematic trench sampling, a scintillometer survey and a small drill program totalling eight holes and 497 meters. Uranium mineralization was discovered in a fault zone over which VLF-EM, magnetometer and Track Etch surveys were performed during September. In the winter of 1978, Shell completed a 17 hole, 1,542 meter drill program to test the uraniferous fault zone and subsequently found high grade uranium mineralization. The following summer’s exploration program consisted of VLF-EM, magnetometer and altimeter surveys over the entire C Zone, with a 15 hole, 1,581 meter drill program to test the uraniferous zones. Low grade uranium mineralization was located in altered sandstones above the Aphebian-Helikian unconformity near Lady Lake. This led to a 1979 winter dril1 program of 17 drill holes totalling 1,193 meter to explore the unconformity and what became later known as Lower C Zone.


- 66 -

In the summer of 1979, Shell undertook a review of its Moran Lake project. Drill core from the Upper C zone (C-1 to C-35) was re-logged by one person and multiple samples were taken for thin section study and 30 element spectrographic analysis. This work led to the appreciation that the rocks were extensively altered, that the identification of primary lithologies was in many cases dubious, that the uranium mineralization was associated with alteration and that there was a definable geometry to the alteration package. The property was considered to have good uranium potential and an 8 hole, 1,400 meter drill program was proposed but never carried out as Shell abandoned its interest in the area due to a decline in uranium prices.

Lewis Murphy acquired the Moran Lake claims in 2003 and optioned the ground to us in October of 2004. In 2003, an airborne gravity survey of the area located an interpreted 4 milligal to 8 milligal gravity anomaly, elliptical in shape, about 4 km long and centered between the Moran B and C zones. Considering the spatial association of uranium with brecciated, highly silicified, carbonatized and hematized rocks, plus locally significant concentrations of copper, silver and gold mineralization, Crosshair invoked the analogy with Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) deposit types, as at Olympic Dam in Australia.

Since acquiring the Moran Lake property in October 2004, Crosshair has embarked on an aggressive program including airborne radiometric and magnetic surveys, compilation of previous work including sampling archived drill core from the 1970’s Shell Canada Resources drilling, and commencement of diamond drilling in January of 2006. A more detailed description of the exploration program is included below under “—Exploration.”

Property Geology

The Moran Lake Property was staked in a configuration to cover as much mineralized Paleoproterozoic stratigraphy as was available encompassing mostly rocks of the Moran Lake Group and the overlying Heggart Lake, Brown Lake and Sylvia Lake Formations of the Bruce River Group, both groups containing known occurrences of uranium, Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag, F and iron (as pyrite and hematite).

The Moran Lake Group unconformably overlies Archean gneisses and granites of the Nain Province. The basal unit, the Warren Creek Formation was deposited in a low energy, shallow shoreline or shelf environment and consists mainly of black graphitic, grey and green shale and siltstone containing local interbeds of dolostone, chert and black conglomerate with siltstone and shale clasts. The Warren Creek Formation ranges from perhaps 1,200 meter up to 3,000 meter in thickness and is overlain conformably by 100 meter to 300 meter thickness of the Joe Pond Formation, a sequence of light- to dark-green, fine grained, massive and pillowed basalt and mafic tuff with occasional interbeds of variably colored chert or grey dolostone. Rocks of the Moran Lake Group occupy a northeasterly trending belt which underlies the northern portion of the Moran Lake Property.

The Bruce River Group consists of a basal, polymictic conglomerate and sandstone of the Heggart Lake Formation overlain by polymictic conglomerate and tuffaceous sandstone of the Brown Lake Formation. The uppermost and thickest unit of the Bruce River Group is the Sylvia Lake Formation, a bimodal, potassic calc-alkaline assemblage of predominantly subaerial volcanic rocks which are coeval with the plutons of the Trans Labrador Batholith. Northerly directed compression during the Grenville orogenic event folded the Bruce River Group into a northeast-trending, open, upright syncline.

Exploration

After acquiring the property in October of 2004, Crosshair immediately launched a comprehensive review and compilation of all previous exploration carried out in the area. The results of the review confirmed


- 67 -

that the property had considerable potential to host several types of uranium deposits including uranium-rich iron oxide copper gold deposits (IOCG).

Exploration work on the property by Crosshair has included line cutting, airborne and ground geophysical surveys, lake sediment sampling, till geochemical and alpha track surveys, prospecting, limited hand trenching, geological mapping and diamond drilling. An airborne radiometric and magnetic survey totaling 7,312 line kilometers covering the entire property was carried out by Fugro Airborne Surveys in 2005. A supplemental airborne survey totaling 675 kilometers covering several claims acquired subsequent to the 2005 survey was carried out by Fugro in 2006. In 2007, a helicopter supported electromagnetic and magnetic (HeliGEOTEM) survey totaling approximately 4,500 line kilometers was carried out over two different blocks on the property. The ground geophysical surveys include gravity, induced potential (IP), and horizontal loop EM (Max-Min) surveys. Follow-up of targets identified from interpretation of the various data has resulted in the discovery of several new showings and target areas, some of which have been drill tested as well as others that are being advanced to the drill ready stage.

An NI 43-101 report was commissioned in May 2008. The report, dated July 31, 2008, includes a revised resource estimate for the Upper and Lower C Zones based on Crosshair’s drilling to May 2008 as well as previous drilling carried out by Shell Canada Resources Limited. The estimate includes a total indicated resource for the Upper C Zone of 6.92 million t at a grade of 0.034% U3O8 or 5.19 million pounds of U3O8. The Upper C Zone also contains additional resources in the inferred category which, whencombined with inferred resources in the Lower C Zone, Trout Pond and Armstrong tones, totals 8.17 million t at a grade of or 0.032% U3O8 or 5.82 million pounds of U3O8. With the exception of the Lower C Zone, these estimates are reported at a block cut-off of 0.015% U3O8. In the case of the Lower C Zone, a cut-off grade of 0.035% U3O8 is used, reflecting higher costs associated with underground mining.

Drilling

Crosshair launched its first drill program in February 2006, completing approximately 2,750 meters of drilling in 19 holes at the C Zone. Further drilling using two drill rigs and totaling over 18,500 meters was carried out during the summer of 2006, followed by an additional 9,400 meters of drilling during the winter of 2007. The 2007 summer program was our most aggressive program, with over 28,000 meters of drilling using three rigs. This was followed by over 12,000 meters during the 2008 winter program. The drilling programs focused on defining uranium mineralization at the C Zone, which represents the most advanced uranium target on the property, but also tested targets at Area 1, Armstrong, B Zone, Area 51, Moran Heights, Madsen Lake and Croteau Lake.

Crosshair’s 2006 drill program totaled 21,486 meters and consisted of 137 holes, of which 58 tested the Upper C Zone and 10 tested the Lower C Zone. The remainder of the holes tested seven other anomalies or showings on the property. From late January 2007 to late April 2007, Crosshair carried out further drilling at the C Zone as well as limited drilling at Area 1 and the Armstrong and Dominion showings. Total drilling in the winter of 2007 amounted to 9,410 meters in 34 holes. At the C Zone, Crosshair’s 2007 winter drill program consisted of 8,211 meters in 26 holes. Fifteen of the holes tested both the Upper and Lower C Zone, 6 holes (1,042 meters) tested the Upper C Zone only, and 5 holes (1,166 meters) tested the Lower C Zone. The program expanded the C Zone mineralization along strike and to depth. The program also included the intersection of the thickest and highest grades of uranium reported from the Lower C Zone.

The summer 2007 drill program totaled 28,745 meters in 121 holes. Eighty-nine of those holes (15,727 meter) were targeting the C Zone, with the goal of upgrading and expanding the existing NI 43-101 resource. Drilling intercepted the highest and thickest grades to date including 0.202% U3O8 over 22.4 meters as part of a wider zone grading 0.100% U3O8 over 46.3meters in hole ML-122 and 0.100% U3O8


- 68 -

over 45.7 meters as part of a much wider interval that assayed 0.074% U3O8 over 71.3 meters in ML-87. A total of 26 holes (2,820 meters) were drilled at Area 1 in the 2007 summer program and 6 holes (784 meters) at Croteau Lake.

Crosshair’s 2008 winter drill program consisted of 55 holes totalling 12,198 meters. Drilling was focused at Armstrong, which is believed to anchor the southern end of the same 4.5 kilometer long trend that hosts the C Zone to the north and Area 1 in the middle. A total of 6,366 meters in 30 holes were drilled in this recently discovered zone, with highlights from ML-AR-26, which returned 0.20% U3O8 over 9.5 meters including 1.10% U3O8over 1.6 meters.

With its latest drilling, Crosshair has expanded the C Zone to a strike length of 1,500 meters, Area 1 to 600 meters and Armstrong to 300 meters. All zones of mineralization are open for expansion, both along strike and to depth.

To date on the Moran Lake property, Crosshair has completed 344 holes totaling just over 60,000 meters. One hundred and eighty-two holes have been drilled at the C Zone, 49 at Area 1, and 32 at Armstrong. Several other areas have also been drill tested, including the B Zone, Moran Heights, Area 51, Croteau Lake, and Madsen Lake. All programs have been helicopter supported producing BTW size drill core.

Sampling and Analysis

Each prospector and geologist was equipped with an Exploranium GR-110 G Portable Gamma Ray hand-held scintillometer to detect elevated gamma ray counts which would then guide to the presence of potential uranium mineralization. Each sample collected was placed in a polyvinyl sample bag and assigned a sample tag for reference, and the physical location of the sample in the field was marked and recorded. A representative sample of each rock sample was removed and labelled for reference prior to preparing the samples for shipping. Sections of core to be assayed for uranium are typically 0.5 m.

During the 2006 and 2007 winter drilling programs core samples were sawn in half using a rock diamond-encrusted blade, one half to be tested and the other to be returned to the core box for reference. Most of the core selected during the summer 2007 and subsequent programs was split using a manual core splitter. The samples were transported, in accordance with the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, to Goose Bay, Labrador and either sent to Eastern Analytical Ltd. or to the Activation Laboratories (ActLabs) for sample preparation.

Eastern Analytical limited of Springdale NL (Eastern), a recognized laboratory with over 30 years of experience, and Crosshair both have a QA/QC program in place using standards, blanks, pulp, duplicates and core duplicates to monitor and assess the accuracy of analytical results and consistency of the reporting laboratory. For Crosshair, one sample of core for every 50 samples (one for every 25 for Eastern) is quarter split with both quarters sent for assay. In addition, check analyses on 50 rejects prepared from the coarse crush were carried out by SGS Canada Inc., Mineral Services, Toronto ON (“SGS”) which has ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation.

During the 2006 program, gold assays were determined by a standard fire assay with AA finish. Copper and silver were determined by standard wet chemical methods employing acid digestion and determination using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. ActLabs analyzed prepared pulps for uranium and 27 other elements using Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA). Uranium analyses that exceeded the upper limits for analysis were re-assayed using the fusion/XRF technique. A total of 50 rejects were re-split and new pulps prepared by Eastern and analyzed by ActLabs. The results demonstrate that the lower values have less reproducibility. The difference in the means of the original and duplicate assays were not statistically significant. Excluding four samples, the relative difference for

those samples greater than 1000 ppm are within 25%, considered acceptable for such analysis. Three of the samples were high-grade and four of the ten samples showed variations ranging from 75% to 150%.

During the 2007 summer program, samples were tested by Eastern for Au, Ag and Cu and second pulps were sent to ActLabs for uranium testing using the Delayed Neutron Counting (DNC) method. The DNC technique is suitable for measuring uranium from subppm to percentage levels. Analytical results of the 2007 summer program samples indicate a positive bias in results for each standard, overall 11%-12% higher than those for 2006.

During the 2008 winter program all drill core samples were shipped to the ActLabs facility in Happy Valley-Goose Bay for preparation and then to its Ancaster lab for uranium analysis using the DNC method. method. Actlabs also analyzed the pulps for multi-element analysis using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry.

Analysis of blank samples submitted during the last two drilling programs to check the cleanliness of the laboratories demonstrated negligible contamination during sample preparation periods. Interlab comparisons of 50 samples from Summer 2007 demonstrate that the mean of ActLabs results were 1.76% higher than SRC results but a very strong correlation was found between the two laboratories.

Security of Samples

The samples were labelled with a security tag containing an identification number and placed inside woven polypropylene “rice” bags. Personnel involved in the sampling process and carriers handling the bags were required to follow proper protocols. Representative rock samples and the majority of the drill core are stored at the Crosshair camp at Armstrong Lake in Labrador, while a selection of core that is representative of the Upper C Zone is stored in the Newfoundland and Labrador Government core library.

Otter and Portage Lake Properties

On December 2, 2005, Crosshair entered into an agreement with a private company for an option to acquire a 100% interest (subject to a 1.5% NSR) in the Otter and Portage Lake properties totaling 56 claims. The new claims are located in the southern portion of the property, considered by our geological team as being highly prospective for Michelin or “shear zone type” uranium deposits. Michelin is an advanced uranium project located 60 kilometers east-northeast of the Moran Lake property with inferred reserves of 32 million pounds of U3O8. The Otter and Portage Lake properties host previously known uranium occurrences discovered in the 1950’s, but which have not been thoroughly explored. Surface sampling has returned up to 2% U3O8 from grab sampling along a four kilometer strike length of anomalous radioactivity. Geological mapping, rock sampling, as well as Alpha Track, till sampling and lake sediment surveys are being carried out in order to prioritize targets for diamond drilling in 2008.

General Development of the Business

Gemini will be a junior mining exploration company exploring for precious and base metals with a focus on gold from its mineral properties in Canada on the Effective Date.

History

Gemini was incorporated on May 14, 2008. On May 20, 2008 Gemini entered into the Paragon Purchase and Sale Agreement. On August 14, 2008, Gemini entered into the Arrangement Agreement. On the Effective Date, Gemini will own the Spin-off Assets.

Trends

As Gemini’s business will consist of exploration activities subsequent to the completion of the Arrangement, Gemini does not expect to be significantly affected by changes in commodity demand and prices except insofar as they affect Gemini’s ability to finance its activities. As it does not carry on production activities, Gemini’s ability to fund ongoing exploration on its properties is affected by the availability of financing which is, in turn, affected by commodity prices, market conditions, the strength of the economy and other general economic factors. The mining industry currently faces an industry-wide shortage of skilled mining expertise and labour. Gemini may be affected by such expertise and labour shortages on an ongoing basis, which may delay exploration activities from time to time.

Depending upon Gemini’s ability to continue to obtain necessary funding to conduct exploration and acquisition activities and upon the results from its exploration and acquisition activities, it may seek a partner for, or enter into a joint venture or sell an interest in or dispose of, all or a portion of its properties. The financing and exploration of any properties Gemini will hold or acquire will be subject to a number of factors including the price of gold or other minerals, applicable laws and regulations, currency fluctuations, and obtaining necessary services in jurisdictions where Gemini operates. The current trends


- 74 -

relating to the factors could change at any time and negatively affect Gemini’s operations and business. See “ – Narrative Description of the Business and Principal Properties” and “Risk Factors” for risk factors affecting Gemini.

Narrative Description of the Business and Principal Properties

Overview

Currently, Gemini has no assets or operations. On the Effective Date, Gemini will be a Canadian junior exploration company active in Canada. Gemini will focus on the acquisition and exploration of undervalued or early stage exploration prospects located in world-class gold belts, where discovery can provide a significant return on investment. Gemini’s strategy will be to seek partners for, or sell an interest in promising properties that are reaching the development stage while maintaining upside exposure for resource expansion and potential new discoveries.

Gemini will also hold the Pubco Shares for investment purposes and which it may sell over time to meet cash flow needs as and when the Board of Directors of Gemini (“Gemini’s Board”) determines appropriate.

Mineral Properties

Upon the completion of the Arrangement, Gemini’s material properties will be the Spin-Off Properties, descriptions of which are set out below.

The Spin-Off Properties have been the subject of a NI 43-101 compliant technical report entitled Technical Report for the Golden Promise, South Golden Promise and Victoria Lake Properties dated April 30, 2008 (the “Golden Promise Report”). The authors of the Golden Promise Report are Larry R. Pilgrim, B.Sc. P. Geo. and Gary H. Giroux, P.Eng. MASc. who are “qualified persons” within the meaning of NI 43-101, and the disclosure in this Information Circular considering the Spin-Off Properties have been prepared with their consent. A copy of the Golden Promise Report is available upon request from Crosshair and is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

The following is a summary of certain portions of the Golden Promise Report, and is qualified by and should be read together with the Golden Promise Report in full, for a complete set of references and authorities for the statements made in this Information Circular. The Golden Promise Report contains tables and data that are not included in this summary.

Golden Promise Property

Paragon acquired an option to earn a 100% interest in the Golden Promise property subject to an underlying option agreement with William Mercer and Stephen Courtney on a portion of the property surrounding the Jaclyn Zones. A total of 192 claims (4,800 hectares) comprise the option arrangement with William Mercer with payments totaling $230,000 ($230,000 paid) and 100,000 Paragon common shares, all of which have been issued. The option arrangement with Mr. Courtney involves 6 claims (150 hectares) with payments totaling $35,000 ($35,000 paid). Both vendors are entitled to a 2% NSR subject to a $1 million buyback of 50% of the NSR at anytime. Paragon also staked claims in the immediate vicinity of the Vendors’ claims to now hold a total of 1,033 claims as outlined in the Summary of Licences Under Option below.

Under the terms of an option agreement dated May 2, 2006, as amended April 18, 2008, with Paragon, Crosshair acquired an option to earn a 60% interest in the Golden Promise Property. To date, Crosshair has issued 60,000 common shares, made cash payments totaling $100,000 and spent $1,334,000 on project expenditures. To complete the exercise of the option, Crosshair must issue 20,000 shares by May 1, 2009 and incur project expenditures of at least $1,416,000 by May 1, 2009 and another $1,250,000 by May 1, 2010.

Crosshair and Gemini have entered into an agreement whereby Paragon’s interest in the Golden Promise Property will be contributed to Gemini in exchange for shares of Gemini and our option agreement with


- 76 -

Paragon will be terminated. Upon the closing of the proposed transaction, Gemini will hold a 100% interest in the Golden Promise Property.

The five blocks of licenses cover 25,825 hectares in 1,033 map-staked claims. Each claim is 500 by 500 meters, which is bounded by one corner of the UTM grid square and is one quarter of the square. The claims are grouped into licenses, which are the units of ownership and assessment work requirements. The details of the licenses covered by the option agreement are described as follows:

Property Location

The Golden Promise Property consists of five blocks of licenses located east, and northeast of Red Indian Lake in west central Newfoundland specifically within National Topographic Series (NTS) Map Sheets 12A/16 and 2D/13, part of the Grand Falls – Buchans Electoral District. The claims are crosscut by an all season Highway (Route 370) connecting the towns of Buchans in the southwest to Badger at the Trans Canada Highway in the northeast end of the property.

Accessibility

The property is accessible from Badger on the Trans Canada Highway via Route 370 to Buchans Junction about 43 km to the southwest. The Buchans Highway (Route 370) is the principal access road to the various blocks in the west and southwest portions of the property where most of the exploration activity has been focused. Access to the eastern and southern portions of the property is gained via logging roads trending south and west of the town of Grand Falls-Windsor, a major industrial hub for central Newfoundland. The Exploits River, the largest river system on the Island of Newfoundland, crosses the north-western part of the property. Secondary access to most of the property is provided by logging roads and snowmobile and ATV trails leading from Route 370 as well as the logging roads south and southwest of Grand Falls-Windsor.

Climate

The climate is somewhat harsher than other parts of Newfoundland. Summers are pleasant, spring and autumn are cool and wet and winters are snowy, often windy, with temperatures dropping close to -30°C at night.

Topography and Vegetation

The Properties are characterised by a series of low, northeast trending ridges and valleys with many of the ponds and rivers present on the property following this overall trend. The valleys tend to be boggy and alder-filled with some barren areas. The dominant vegetation cover is spruce with minor fir and birch.


- 77 -

Large sections of the Property were burned by a forest fire in 1999 with much of the salvageable timber already harvested.

History and Previous Work

The exploration history of the vast majority of the property dates back only as far as 2002, when a prospector working in an area burned by a major forest fire in 1999 located gold-bearing quartz boulders immediately north of Route 370 approximately 10 kilometers southwest of the town of Badger. Exploration in the region prior to 2002 traditionally focused on the productive massive sulphide districts located south and west of the current property boundaries. The mining town of Buchans, located about 30 kilometers west - southwest of the property, produced very rich ores that carried high combined grades of zinc (14.5%), copper (1.4%), lead (7.6%), gold (1.3 grams per tonne) and silver (126 grams per tonne) for 56 years prior to closing in 1984.

The property was mapped by both the Provincial and Federal Geological Surveys whose efforts included regional scale geological surveys and geochemical surveys including glacial till and lake sediment sampling.

In the spring of 2002, a local prospector, William Mercer, discovered several large boulders of gold bearing float of which a composite sample from 10 boulders returned 30 grams per tonne gold. The property was subsequently optioned by Mr. Mercer to Paragon in July of 2002.

Geological Setting

The property lies within the Dunnage Zone, a major tectonic and stratigraphic succession of Cambrian to Middle Ordovician aged volcanic and sedimentary rocks occupying much of central Newfoundland. The Dunnage Zone rocks record the opening and closing of a proto-Atlantic Ocean known as Iapetus. The Dunnage Zone has been subdivided into two subzones, the Notre Dame and the Exploits, which are separated by a major fault system known as the Red Indian Line. The bulk of the Golden Promise property is inferred to be underlain by rocks of the Exploits Subzone, which includes the Badger and Victoria Lake Groups.

Regional Geology and Mineralization

The property is largely underlain by sedimentary rocks of the Badger Group. The Badger Group conformably overlies Caradocian black shale, which in turn overlies Ordovician volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Victoria Lake Supergroup. The volcanic sequences of the Victoria Lake Supergroup are among the most prolific hosts to massive sulphide copper/lead/zinc deposits in Canada.

Property Geology and Mineralization

The property is largely underlain by sedimentary rocks of the Badger Group, consisting mainly of arkose, greywacke and shale. The Badger Group rocks overlie the Victoria Lake sequences of volcaniclastic and fine grained sedimentary rocks. A unit of black shale of Caradocian age, a regional stratigraphic marker, separates the Badger Group from the Victoria Lake Group. The dominant structural trend is northeasterly. All rock units have been folded into a series of tight, isoclinal, upright, northeast plunging folds and have been cut by northeasterly faults. Mafic dykes occupy the faults at several locations.

The mineralization at Golden Promise consists of a series of sub-parallel gold-bearing quartz veins ranging up to 4 meters in true thickness. The veins are milky white, inclusion rich and locally bladed. Gold is hosted by the veins typically occurring within narrow intervals (20-30 cms) close to vein margins. Fine grained arsenopyrite is the most common accessory mineral with lesser amounts of pyrite, galena, spahalerite and chalcopyrite (< 1%) occurring locally.


- 78 -

At least 5 zones of gold mineralization are known to occur at Golden Promise. They include the Jaclyn, Jaclyn South, Jaclyn North, Christopher and Shawn’s Shot occurrences, of which the most important are the Jaclyn, Jaclyn South and Jaclyn North Zones. The most significant mineralization occurs at the Jaclyn Zone, which has been defined by diamond drilling over a strike length of 800 meters and to a vertical depth of 270 meters. A total of 71 diamond drill holes (10,315 meter) have targeted the Jaclyn Main Zone, 68 of which have intersected it. Significant intersections include GP02-01 which returned 16.57 grams per tonne gold over 1.64 meters, GP02-05 which returned 11.41 grams per tonne gold over 1.80 meters, GP02-09 which returned 7.05 grams per tonne gold over 2.22 meters, GP07-83 which returned 6.51 grams per tonne gold over 1.40 meters, and GP07-90 which returned 10-14 grams per tonne gold over 1.40 meters. Drilling completed in August of 2006 intersected a new hangingwall zone of mineralization which returned 93.71 grams per tonne gold over 1.40 meters.

Based on the results of 68 drill holes that penetrated the Jaclyn Main Zone, a resource estimate was completed by independent consultant Gary H. Giroux, P.Eng. MASc. in early 2008. Using a 1 g/t gold cutoff, he calculated an inferred resource of 86,500 ounces of gold in the Jaclyn Main Zone contained within a total of 921,000 tonnes of rock averaging 3.02 g Au/t.

The Jaclyn North occurrence, located 250 meters north of the Jaclyn Zone, has been tested by 10 drill holes and has been defined over a 250 meter strike length. The occurrence has returned values up to 5.24 grams per tonne gold over 1.70 meters.

The Jaclyn South occurrence, located 300 meters southeast of the Jaclyn Zone, comprises two subparallel quartz veins, one of which is up to 3.4 meters thick. The zone has been tested by four drill holes from which the best result obtained to date is 0.30 meters grading 44.6 grams per tonne gold.

Sampling and Analysis

All samples collected on the Properties were subjected to a quality control procedure that ensured a best practice in the handling, sampling, analysis and storage of the drill core.

Individual samples and veins selected for gold analysis from drill core typically did not exceed one metre and 0.30 metres in length respectively. Intervals of altered rock adjacent to the veining were routinely sampled and analyzed for gold and trace elements. Samples which returned elevated gold values by standard fire-assay, or contained visible gold, or were likely to be well mineralized were screened by metallic screening fire-assay fusion which produces greater results than standard fire assay.

Soil sample locations were selected using handheld GPS. The samples were collected using soil augers with approximately 250 grams of soil which were shipped via air cargo to ALS Chemex in North Vancouver for gold assay, or in 2003, 2006 and 2007 were shipped directly to Eastern Analytical for analysis.

Chip and grab samples were collected with use of rock hammers and chisels with an effort to collect samples perpendicular to the orientation of mineralized structures and veins.

There were 98 holes drilled and the cores from the drilling campaigns were logged by one of three consulting geologists in a secure, well lit core logging facility in Badger, Newfoundland. The core is currently being stored outside in steel racks at the core logging facility, except all significant intersections which are securely stored inside. All core trays are labelled with aluminium tags. All samples were delivered directly to the laboratory by Rubicon/Paragon personnel or independent transport companies in sealed woven plastic bags.


- 79 -

Analytical standards were inserted into the sample stream, (one in every 20 samples) by Eastern Analytical for rock, grab, and float samples taken during 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 and for the 2002 drill program. During the 2003 and 2004 drilling and sampling programs, blanks and gold standards were alternately inserted into the sample stream once every 20 samples. During the 2006/2007 drill campaigns, a blank was inserted into the sample stream by the core technician once every 20 samples while standards were inserted into almost every sample batch at the laboratory. Sample batches were reanalyzed if any aberrations in the data were observed, and intervals that assayed above 1 g/t gold and almost all of the stylolitic quartz veining regardless of their gold tenor were generally re-assayed at ALS Chemex in order to confirm results of the Eastern Analytical assay. The results of standards and blanks inserted into the sample stream from each program indicate that the assays from each drilling campaign are of acceptable quality. Surface sample sites were not verified during the property visit. The assay results from the surface sampling were reviewed and the data and associated standards and blanks were of acceptable quality and are considered reliable.

Security of Samples

All samples collected were delivered directly to the laboratory by Rubicon/Paragon personnel or independent transport companies (typically by freight truck) in sealed woven plastic bags. Control samples were included within each sample shipment. Samples arriving at ALS Chemex are bar coded and logged into a digital tracking system.

Exploration and Development

In July of 2002, the property was optioned by local prospectors to Paragon who completed a Phase 1 drilling program to follow up on the discovery of high grade gold-bearing float. The 21 hole program (1,045 meters) tested the Jaclyn Zone along a 225 meter strike length and to a vertical depth of 50 meters. Subsequent drilling in late 2003 extended the Jaclyn Zone along strike and to depth, and also tested the newly discovered Jaclyn North and Jaclyn South Zones.

Crosshair optioned the Golden Promise property from Paragon on May 1, 2006 and embarked on a Phase 2 drilling program in June. The Phase 2 program, completed in February 2007, included 5,488 meters of drilling in 29 holes on the Jaclyn, Jaclyn North and Jaclyn South Zones. From June 2007 through December 2007 a 23 hole 3,926 meter edrill program was completed in the Jaclyn area. The focus of the drilling was the continued evaluation of the Jaclyn Main Zone (19 holes, 3,135 meter), and Jaclyn North Zone (4 holes, 790 meter).

Rubicon and subsequently Paragon have managed the Golden Promise exploration program since Crosshair optioned the property for which they have collected an 8% management fee. Successive drilling programs to date have been successful in extending the known limits of the Jaclyn Zone to 800 meters along strike and to vertical depths of 275 meters. The Zone remains open along strike and to depth.

As of January 2007, over $3.7 million in exploration work has been carried out on the property since 2002. By April 30, 2008, Crosshair has spent approximately $1.54 million on exploration of the property. The aggregate work includes 98 drill holes of which 71 have been drilled on the Jaclyn Main Zone, 10 holes at Jaclyn North , 4 holes at Jaclyn South, 2 holes at Justin’s Hope, 3 holes at Jaclyn East, 4 holes at Jaclyn West, 2 holes at the Christopher Zone and 2 holes at the Shawn’s Shot occurrence. The drilling followed an extensive soil sampling, prospecting and trenching program, which included excavation of 30 surface trenches, ~6,000 soil samples and ~2,400 rock, float and grab samples, as well as geological and structural mapping surveys. An 8,250 kilometer high resolution airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey was flown in late 2003 to assist in the geological mapping and structural interpretation of the


- 80 -

property. The airborne survey was extremely successful in outlining the trace of the Caradocian shale, a key marker unit closely associated with the mineralization at the Jaclyn Main Zone in particular.

South Golden Promise/Victoria Lake Property

Paragon acquired an option to earn a 100% interest in the South Golden Promise Property pursuant to an underlying option agreement, dated January 8, 2003, with Al Keats, Calvin Keats and Kevin Keats. The vendors are entitled to a 2.5% Net Smelter Return. Paragon can repurchase a 1.5% Net Smelter Return for $1,500,000 and has a right of first refusal with respect to the remaining 1.0% .

Property Location

The South Golden Promise Property consists of two blocks of licences located east and southwest of Red Indian Lake in west central Newfoundland, in the Grand Falls – Buchans Electoral District. The property is underlain by similar geology to that of the Golden Promise property, which is contiguous and immediately northeast of the South Golden Promise claims. The South Golden Promise Property also includes the Victoria Lake claims which are targeting massive sulphide deposits as opposed to gold at Golden Promise and South Golden Promise

Accessibility

The properties are accessible from Badger on the Trans Canada Highway via Route 370 to Buchans Junction about 43 kilometers to the southwest of Badger, and from Grand Falls-Windsor, immediately east of the property. The Millertown – Lake Ambrose logging haulage road west southwest of Buchans Junction is the principal access road to the various claim blocks to the south and southwest. The Exploits River, the provinces largest river system, crosses the northern portion of the property. The Victoria Lake claim group, the southwestern most claims, are best accessed by the main logging road leading west from the Exploits Dam along the south shore of Red Indian Lake. Numerous older logging roads, generally in poor shape, crosscut the property and afford locally limited access.

Climate Topography Elevation, and Vegetation

The climate, topography, elevation and vegetation are the same as for the Golden Promise Property described above.

History

The northeastern portion of the property has received the least amount of previous exploration. In fact, prior to the discovery of gold-bearing boulders at Golden Promise in 2002, most of the northern half of the property had received no previous exploration.

The sedimentary sequences that host the Jaclyn gold mineralization received very little exploration by previous explorers. The bulk of exploration activity in the region focused on the highly prospective volcanic rocks to the southwest which are known to host numerous copper and zinc prospects in the region. The volcanic sequences, most common on the south side of the Exploits River and occurring in the south central portion of the South Golden Promise property, received moderate amounts of exploration in the search for base metals (copper, lead and zinc). Noranda was most active and carried out ground surveys including, line cutting, geological mapping, soil sampling and geophysics. Several widely spaced drill holes did not intersect any mineralization. Immediately east of the property Aur Resources (subsequently taken over by Teck/Cominco) commenced commercial production in January 2007 at the Duck Pond deposit and will produce concentrate containing copper, zinc, lead, gold and silver over the projected 10 year life of the mine.

The Victoria Lake claims have received the most intensive exploration of all of the South Golden Promise property. The claims are considered highly prospective to host significant quantities of massive sulphides rich in copper, lead, zinc, gold and silver. Noranda carried out numerous exploration programs over the past 25 years including diamond drilling. Favourably altered volcanic rocks were encountered in several localities and suggest that massive sulphide bodies could exist on the claims. Work by Paragon in 2002 located potentially significant gold mineralization in the extreme southwestern portion of the claim group. Results include sulphide-bearing quartz veins that have returned assays of 2.5 and 3.6 grams per tonne gold.


- 82 -

Property Geology

The South Golden Promise property, in particular the northern and central portions, is underlain mainly by sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Ordovician Victoria Lake Group which are in turn overlain by the Badger Group sedimentary rocks. The Victoria Lake Group is dominated in the upper sections by fine grained sedimentary sequences, while the lower portions of the Group are dominated by mafic and felsic volcanic rocks with minor interbedded sedimentary rocks. The Victoria Lake Group and Badger Group rocks are separated by a regionally important marker horizon of Caradocian shale.

The prominent structures on the property are a major syncline - anticline pair as traced by folds in the Cardocian shale. The folds are tight and upright with a gentle plunge to the northeast. A penetrative foliation is commonly developed sub parallel to bedding. Glacial striae showing ice movement to the northeast and south-southeast are observed locally.

The Victoria Lake claims are underlain mainly by volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Victoria Lake Group. The felsic volcanic rocks in the area are considered highly prospective for hosting significant massive sulphide deposits and several areas of favourably altered and locally mineralized volcanic rocks are known to occur. These areas will be the primary target of exploration efforts on that portion of the property.

Sampling and Analysis

All samples collected on the Properties were subjected to a quality control procedure that ensured a best practice in the handling, sampling, analysis and storage of the drill core.

Individual samples and veins selected for gold analysis from drill core typically did not exceed one metre and 0.30 metres in length respectively. Intervals of altered rock adjacent to the veining were routinely sampled and analyzed for gold and trace elements. Samples which returned elevated gold values by standard fire-assay, or contained visible gold, or were likely to be well mineralized were screened by metallic screening fire-assay fusion which produces greater results than standard fire assay.

Soil sample locations were selected using handheld GPS. The samples were collected using soil augers with approximately 250 grams of soil which were shipped via air cargo to ALS Chemex in North Vancouver for gold assay, or in 2003, 2006 and 2007 were shipped directly to Eastern Analytical for analysis.

Chip and grab samples were collected with use of rock hammers and chisels with an effort to collect samples perpendicular to the orientation of mineralized structures and veins.

All core from Victoria Lake Property from the 2006 drilling was conducted in a well-lit shack constructed next to an outfitters lodge located at Henry Waters on Victoria Lake. Field visits were made by senior management of Rubicon (now Paragon) and Crosshair to view selected drill core. All core from the 2006 drilling program at the South Golden Promise Property was logged in a secure, well-lighted core logging facility in Millertown, Newfoundland. All core trays are labelled with aluminium tags indicating hole identifier and meterage interval.

Quality Control Standards and blanks at Accurrassy Laboratories are not reported unless requested by the client. Any data that falls outside of the standard deviation requires 10% of the samples in that batch to be reassayed and have their values compared with the previous set of results.

See “Golden Promise Property – Sampling and Analysis” above for a description of quality control measures and data verification procedures.


- 83 -

Security of Samples

Samples for preparation from South Golden Promise Property are organized and labelled when they enter the laboratory at Eastern Analytical. Samples from Victoria Lake Property were split by a diamond-bladed rock saw and were packed in individual plastic rock sample bags and sealed with zap-straps, sealed in rice bags, securely fastened with heavy-duty zap straps and transported to a staging area by helicopter by Rubicon personnel.

Exploration and Development

Since acquiring the properties, Crosshair has completed several phases of exploration including prospecting, mapping, till and rock sampling as well as excavator trenching on targets defined by the other works. The Victoria Lake claims also had ground gravity surveying completed to help identify potential massive sulphide targets. Diamond drilling has been carried out on the gold targets at South Golden Promise and the massive sulphide targets at Victoria Lake.

At South Golden Promise, the work to date has outlined a significant gold-bearing quartz vein system that has been exposed on surface for 170 meters and tested to about 50 meters in diamond drilling. A total of 16 holes were completed at South Golden Promise with two holes returning visible gold bearing quartz veining returning a high of 19.5 grams per tonne gold over 1.15 meters. Further work including diamond drilling and trenching of soil geochemical anomalies is recommended for the South Golden Promise gold target.

At Victoria Lake, an 11 hole (2,197 meters) diamond drilling program was completed in 2006. The program tested several coincidental geological, rock and soil geochemical anomalies as well as geophysical (gravity) anomalies identified by us. Favorably altered, sulphide-bearing felsic volcanic units were encountered in several of the holes. The drilling program was managed by Paragon personnel who have extensive experience in the region and who received 8% of the program costs as a management fee. During 2008, a three-dimensional borehole Pulse EM survey was conducted to test for off-hole conductors that may represent massive sulphides. Interpretation of the data by a geophysicist is forthcoming. Further work including diamond drilling has been recommended.

Risk Factors

For a list of risk factors relating to Gemini and its business after the completion of the Arrangement see “Risk Factors” above in this Information Circular.

Dividends

Any decision to pay dividends on common shares in the future will be made by Gemini’s Board on the basis of the earnings, financial requirements and other conditions existing at such time. Management does not foresee payment of dividends in the short or medium term.

Prior Sales of Securities of Gemini

As of the date of this Information Circular, Gemini has issued one Gemini Share for $0.25 to Crosshair on May 14, 2008 as the incorporator of Gemini.

2.2                   PARTICIPATION IN PLAN

The Board shall from time to time determine the Participants who may participate in the Plan and the number of Common Shares to be made subject to Options granted to Participants under the Plan. All such determinations shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Securities Act and the rules and policies of the Exchange, and the Board may take into consideration the present and potential contribution of each Participant to the success of the Company and any other factors which the Board deems appropriate and relevant.

  (b)

  (b)

The Option shall be exercisable by delivering to the Company a notice specifying the number of Common Shares in respect of which the Option is exercised together with payment in full of the purchase price of the Common Shares which are the subject of the exercised Option.

(3) Without limiting subsection (2), a person who wishes to have dissent exercised with respect to shares of which the person is the beneficial owner must

(a) dissent with respect to all of the shares, if any, of which the person is both the registered owner and the beneficial owner, and

(b) cause each shareholder who is a registered owner of any other shares of which the person is the beneficial owner to dissent with respect to all of those shares.

Waiver of right to dissent

(i) the shareholder, if the shareholder is providing a waiver on the shareholder’s own behalf, and

2


(ii) each other person who beneficially owns shares registered in the shareholder’s name and on whose behalf the shareholder is providing a waiver, and

(b) identify in each waiver the person on whose behalf the waiver is made.

(3) If a shareholder waives a right of dissent with respect to a particular corporate action and indicates in the waiver that the right to dissent is being waived on the shareholder’s own behalf, the shareholder’s right to dissent with respect to the particular corporate action terminates in respect of the shares of which the shareholder is both the registered owner and the beneficial owner, and this Division ceases to apply to

(a) the shareholder in respect of the shares of which the shareholder is both the registered owner and the beneficial owner, and

(b) any other shareholders, who are registered owners of shares beneficially owned by the first mentioned shareholder, in respect of the shares that are beneficially owned by the first mentioned shareholder.

(4) If a shareholder waives a right of dissent with respect to a particular corporate action and indicates in the waiver that the right to dissent is being waived on behalf of a specified person who beneficially owns shares registered in the name of the shareholder, the right of shareholders who are registered owners of shares beneficially owned by that specified person to dissent on behalf of that specified person with respect to the particular corporate action terminates and this Division ceases to apply to those shareholders in respect of the shares that are beneficially owned by that specified person.

(a) a copy of the proposed resolution, and

Notice of intention to proceed

243 (1) A company that receives a notice of dissent under section 242 from a dissenter must,

(a) a written statement that the dissenter requires the company to purchase all of the notice shares,

(iii) that dissent is being exercised in respect of all of those other shares. (3) After the dissenter has complied with subsection (1), (a) the dissenter is deemed to have sold to the company the notice shares, and

(b) the company is deemed to have purchased those shares, and must comply with section 245, whether or not it is authorized to do so by, and despite any restriction in, its memorandum or articles.

(4) Unless the court orders otherwise, if the dissenter fails to comply with subsection (1) of this section in relation to notice shares, the right of the dissenter to dissent with respect to those notice shares terminates and this Division, other than section 247, ceases to apply to the dissenter with respect to those notice shares.

6

(5) A company must not make a payment to a dissenter under this section if there are reasonable grounds for believing that

(a) the company is insolvent, or

(b) the payment would render the company insolvent.

Loss of right to dissent

246 The right of a dissenter to dissent with respect to notice shares terminates and this Division, other than section 247, ceases to apply to the dissenter with respect to those notice shares, if, before payment is made to the dissenter of the full amount of money to which the dissenter is entitled under section 245 in relation to those notice shares, any of the following events occur:

8

CROSSHAIR EXPLORATION & MINING CORP.
NOTES TO THE PRO-FORMA BALANCE SHEET
(Unaudited)
APRIL 30, 2008
 

1.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   

The unaudited pro forma balance sheet and statements of operations of Crosshair Exploration & Mining Corp. (“Crosshair”) have been prepared for inclusion in the Information Circular of Crosshair dated July 31, 2008 Crosshair intends to proceed with a transaction to transfer its interests in certain mineral properties and marketable securities to its 100% owned subsidiary Gemini Metals Corp. (“Gemini”). Crosshair will then distribute 64% its shares in Gemini to the existing Crosshair shareholders pursuant to a corporate restructuring transaction (“Spin-out Transaction”). This will result in each shareholder of Crosshair receiving one share in Gemini for every 5.5 shares of Crosshair held.

   

This pro forma balance sheet has been derived from the assumptions contained in Note 2.

   

Gemini is a newly incorporated subsidiary of Crosshair, incorporated on May 14, 2008 under British Columbia’s Company Act.

   

The pro forma balance sheet has been prepared as if the Spin-out Transaction had occurred on April 30, 2008. In the opinion of management, the pro forma balance sheet includes all of the adjustments necessary for fair presentation in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

   

This pro forma balance sheet is not intended to reflect the financial position that would have occurred if the events reflected therein had been in effect at the dates indicated. Further, this pro forma balance sheet is not necessarily indicative of the financial position that may be obtained in the future. This pro forma balance sheet should be read in conjunction with the pro forma balance sheet of Gemini.

   
2.

PRO-FORMA TRANSACTIONS

   

The pro-forma balance sheet was prepared based on the following assumptions as having occurred as at April 30, 2008:


  a)

Crosshair transferred its interests in certain mineral properties and marketable securities to Gemini at the carrying value of $3,726,545 and $582,351, respectively, in consideration for 26,924,778 common shares of Gemini. Carrying value is the appropriate measure under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles as the transaction is a non-monetary related party transaction. Future reclamation costs totalling $2,946, relating to the transferred mineral properties are also assumed to be transferred.

     
  b)

Crosshair distributed 64% of its ownership in Gemini to its shareholders as a capital distribution, which reduces the Company’s investment in Gemini and stated capital by $2,758,443, and results in Gemini no longer being a subsidiary of Crosshair.

     
  c)

Crosshair concurrently issued 10,000,000 common shares in consideration for the CMB Joint Venture with Universal Uranium (“UUL”), and 270,000 common shares in consideration for other property option payments at a combined value of $5,282,400.

1.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     

The unaudited pro forma balance sheet of Gemini Metals Corp. (“Gemini”) has been prepared for inclusion in the Management Information Circular of Crosshair Exploration & Mining Corp (“Crosshair”), relating to, among other things, an Arrangement Agreement involving Gemini and Crosshair, dated August 14, 2008.

     

Pursuant to certain agreements, Paragon Minerals Corporation (“Paragon”) has granted options to Crosshair to earn an interest in certain mineral properties (“the Properties”). Crosshair intends to proceed with a transaction to transfer its interests in the Properties and marketable securities to its 100% owned subsidiary Gemini. Crosshair will then distribute 64% of its Gemini shares to existing Crosshair shareholders pursuant to a corporate restructuring transaction (“Spin-out Transaction”). This will result in each shareholder of Crosshair receiving one share in Gemini for every 5.5 shares of Crosshair held.

     

Concurrently, Gemini will complete an initial public offering of 6,666,667 common shares in the capital of Gemini, at a price of $0.75 per common share.

     

Additionally, Paragon intends to transfer all of its legal and beneficial interest in the Properties to Gemini. This pro forma balance sheet has been derived from the assumptions contained in Note 2.

     

Gemini is a newly incorporated subsidiary of Crosshair, incorporated on May 14, 2008 under British Columbia’s Company Act.

     

The pro forma consolidated balance sheet has been prepared as if the Spin-out Transaction and the concurrent financing had occurred on April 30, 2008. In the opinion of management, the pro forma consolidated balance sheet includes all of the adjustments necessary for fair presentation in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

     

No attempt has been made to present a pro forma income statement for the new entity.

     

This pro forma balance sheet is not intended to reflect the financial position that would have occurred if the events reflected therein had been in effect at the dates indicated. Further, this pro forma balance sheet is not necessarily indicative of the financial position that may be obtained in the future. This pro forma balance sheet should be read in conjunction with the pro forma balance sheet of Crosshair.

     
2.

PRO-FORMA TRANSACTIONS

     

The pro-forma balance sheet was prepared based on the following assumptions:

     
a)

Crosshair is assumed to transfer its interests in the Properties and marketable securities to Gemini at the carrying value of $3,726,545 and $582,351, respectively. Carrying value is the appropriate measure under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles as the transaction is a non-monetary related party transaction.

     
b)

Paragon is assumed to transfer its interests in the Properties to Gemini at the carrying value of $427,777. Carrying value is the appropriate measure under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles as the value of the mineral properties is a more reliable measurement then the value of the shares being issued.

     
c)

Upon transfer of the interest in the Properties to Gemini, Gemini will assume reclamation obligations totalling $2,946 relating to the Properties. Additionally, Gemini will be responsible for certain obligations under Paragon’s underlying agreements including:
