MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

As at May 1, 2025

(Monetary amounts expressed in US dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

This Management Information Circular (“Circular”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of the management of Fortuna Mining Corp. (the “Company” or “Fortuna”) for use at the Annual General Meeting of the holders of common shares (“Common Shares”) of the Company to be held on Thursday, June 26, 2025 (the “Meeting”) and any adjournment thereof, at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the notice of the Meeting (the “Notice of the Meeting”).

In this Circular, references to “Non-Registered Holders” means shareholders who do not hold Common Shares in their own name and “Intermediaries” refers to brokers, investment firms, clearing houses and similar entities that own securities on behalf of Non-Registered Holders.

PROXIES

Notice-and-Access Process

The Company has elected to use the notice-and-access provisions (“Notice-and-Access”) of National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (“NI 54-101”) for distribution of this Circular, form of proxy (“Proxy”) and other meeting materials (the “Meeting Materials”) to registered shareholders and Non-Registered Holders of the Company.

Under Notice-and-Access, rather than the Company mailing paper copies of the Meeting Materials to shareholders, the Meeting Materials can be accessed online on the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www .sedarplus.ca or on the Company’s website at: https://fortunamining.com/library. The Company has adopted this alternative means of delivery for the Meeting Materials in order to reduce paper use and the printing and mailing costs.

Shareholders will receive a “notice package” (the “Notice-and-Access Notification”) by prepaid mail, with details regarding the Meeting date, location and purpose, and information on how to access the Meeting Materials online or request a paper copy.

Shareholders will not receive a paper copy of the Meeting Materials unless they contact Broadridge at the applicable toll free number as set out in the Notice of the Meeting. Provided the request is made prior to the Meeting, Broadridge will mail the requested materials within three business days. Requests for paper copies of the Meeting Materials should be made by June 12, 2025 in order to receive the Meeting Materials in time to vote before the Meeting.

Shareholders with questions about Notice-and-Access may contact Broadridge toll-free at 1-844-916-0609.

Solicitation and Deposit of Proxies

While it is expected that the solicitation will be primarily by Notice-and-Access and mail, Proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone by the directors and regular employees of the Company. All costs of solicitation will be borne by the Company. We have arranged for Intermediaries to forward the Notice-and-Access Notification to Non-Registered Holders of Common Shares held as of the Record Date (as defined below) by those Intermediaries and we may reimburse the Intermediaries for their reasonable fees and disbursements in that regard.

The individuals named in the Proxy are directors of the Company, senior management and the Corporate Secretary of the Company. A shareholder wishing to appoint some other person (who need not be a shareholder) to represent him or her at the Meeting has the right to do so, either by inserting such person’s name in the blank space provided in the Proxy and striking out the printed names or by completing another form of proxy. The Proxy will not be valid unless the

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Page | 1

completed, dated and signed form of proxy is received by Computershare Trust Company, 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1, not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time for holding the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, or, at the discretion of the Chair, is delivered to the Chair of the Meeting prior to commencement of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Non-Registered Holders

Only registered holders of Common Shares or the persons they appoint as their proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. In many cases, however, Common Shares beneficially owned by a Non-Registered Holder are registered either:

(a) in the name of an Intermediary that the Non-Registered Holder deals with in respect of the shares. Intermediaries include banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers, and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans, or

(b) in the name of a clearing agency, such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited (CDS), of which the Intermediary is a participant.

There are two kinds of Non-Registered Holders – those who have not objected to their Intermediary disclosing certain ownership information about themselves to the Company, referred to as “Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners”, and those who have objected to their Intermediary disclosing ownership information about themselves to the Company, referred to as “Objecting Beneficial Owners” (“OBOs”).

In accordance with the requirements of NI 54-101, the Company will distribute the Notice-and-Access Notification to Intermediaries and clearing agencies for onward distribution to all Non-Registered Holders. Intermediaries are required to forward the Notice-and-Access Notification to Non-Registered Holders unless a Non-Registered Holder has waived the right to receive Meeting Materials. Intermediaries often use service companies to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders. The Company intends to pay for the delivery to OBOs, by Intermediaries, of any proxy-related materials and Form 54-101F7 – Request for Voting Instructions made by Intermediary for the Meeting.

Generally, Non-Registered Holders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials will be sent a voting instruction form (“VIF”) which must be completed, signed and returned by the Non-Registered Holder in accordance with the Intermediary’s directions on the VIF. In some cases, such Non-Registered Holders will instead be given a Proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature) which is restricted as to the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Holder but which is otherwise not completed. This form of proxy does not need to be signed by the Non-Registered Holder, but, to be used at the Meeting, needs to be properly completed and deposited with Computershare Trust Company as described under “Solicitation and Deposit of Proxies” above.

The purpose of these procedures is to permit Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of the Common Shares that they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Holder wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on behalf of the Non-Registered Holder), the Non-Registered Holder should strike out the names of the persons named in the Proxy and insert the Non-Registered Holder’s (or such other person’s) name in the blank space provided or, in the case of a VIF, follow the corresponding instructions on the form.

Non-Registered Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediaries and their service companies, including instructions regarding when and where the VIF or Proxy form is to be delivered.

Voting of Proxies

Common Shares represented by any properly executed Proxy will be voted or withheld from voting on any ballot that may be called for in accordance with the instructions given by the shareholder. In the absence of such direction, such Common Shares will be voted in favour of the matters set forth herein.

The Proxy, when properly completed and delivered and not revoked, confers discretionary authority upon the person appointed proxy thereunder to vote with respect to amendments or variations of matters identified in the Notice of the

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Page | 2

Meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. In the event that amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of the Meeting are properly brought before the Meeting or any further or other business is properly brought before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons designated in the Proxy to vote in accordance with their best judgment on such matters or business. As at the date hereof, the management of the Company knows of no such amendment, variation or other matter that may come before the Meeting.

Revocation of Proxies

A shareholder who has given a Proxy may revoke it by an instrument in writing executed by the shareholder or by his or her attorney authorized in writing or, where the shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the corporation, and delivered either to the registered office of the Company, 1111 Melville Street, Suite 820, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 3V6, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or if adjourned, any reconvening thereof, or to the Chair of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or, if adjourned, any reconvening thereof or in any other manner provided by law. A revocation of a Proxy does not affect any matter on which a vote has been taken prior to the revocation.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

As at the date of this Circular, the Company had issued and outstanding 306,959,986 fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares, each share carrying the right to one vote. The Company has no other classes of voting securities.

Holders of Common Shares as at May 2, 2025 (the “Record Date”) who either personally attend the Meeting or who have completed and delivered a Proxy or VIF in the manner and subject to the provisions described above shall be entitled to vote or to have their Common Shares voted at the Meeting.

To the knowledge of the directors and officers of the Company, as at the date of this Circular, no person or company directly or indirectly beneficially owns or exercises control or direction over Common Shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all outstanding Common Shares of the Company.

PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

To the knowledge of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), the only matters to be brought before the Meeting are those matters set forth in the Notice of the Meeting, as more particularly described as follows:

Appointment and Remuneration of Auditors

Effective July 13, 2017, KPMG LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, were appointed as auditors of the Company. The management of the Company will recommend to the Meeting to appoint KPMG LLP as auditors of the Company for the ensuing year, and to authorize the directors to fix their remuneration.

Recommendation: Management of the Company recommends that Shareholders VOTE FOR the appointment of KPMG LLP as Fortuna's auditors and authorizing the directors to fix their remuneration.

Proxies: Unless otherwise instructed, Proxies in favour of the management designees will VOTE FOR the appointment of KPMG LLP as Fortuna's auditors and authorizing the directors to fix their remuneration.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Page | 3

Election of Directors

The Board presently consists of eight directors. Shareholders will be asked at the Meeting to determine the number of directors at eight, and to elect eight directors. The term of office for all the current directors will expire on the date of the Meeting. The persons named below (the “Director Nominees”) will be presented for election at the Meeting as management’s nominees and the persons named in the Proxy intend to vote for the election of these nominees. The senior officers of the Company (“Management”) do not contemplate that any of these nominees will be unable to serve as a director. Each director elected will hold office until the next annual general meeting of the Company or until his or her successor is elected or appointed, unless his or her office is earlier vacated in accordance with the Articles of the Company, or with the provisions of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act.

Recommendation: Management of the Company recommends that Shareholders VOTE FOR the election of each of the Director Nominees.

Proxies: Unless otherwise instructed, Proxies in favour of the management designees will VOTE FOR the ordinary resolution for the election of the eight Director Nominees.

Due to a review by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) of the Company’s use of inferred resources for the calculation of depletion expense in its audited financial statements contained in the Annual Report on Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company was delayed in filing its annual audited financial statements and related MD&A for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, and its annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2016 (collectively, the “Annual Financial Documents”). In connection with the delayed filing of the Annual Financial Documents, the Company applied for and received on April 3, 2017 a management cease trade order (“MCTO”) from the British Columbia Securities Commission and other Canadian provincial securities regulatory authorities. The MCTO prohibited certain executive officers of the Company from trading in securities of the Company until the Company completed the required filing of the Annual Financial Documents and became current on all filing obligations.

On May 1, 2017, the Company reported that the SEC had verbally communicated it would accept the Company’s use of inferred resources for the calculation of depletion expense, provided that the Company included additional disclosure regarding the calculations. Accordingly, the Company proceeded to finalize the Annual Financial Documents and filed them on May 15, 2017. The SEC formally concluded its review on May 17, 2017.

Due to the delay in finalizing the Annual Financial Documents, the Company was delayed in filing its interim financial statements and related MD&A for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 (together, the “Interim Financial Documents”). The Company filed the Interim Financial Documents on May 24, 2017, and the MCTO was revoked by the British Columbia Securities Commission on May 25, 2017.

On June 22, 2020, the Autorité des marches financiers and the Ontario Securities Commission each issued a cease-trade order against Algold Resources Inc. (“Algold”) for having failed to file its annual statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. The cease trade order came into effect automatically in every jurisdiction in Canada that the company was reporting pursuant to automatic reciprocity legislation. In addition, Algold filed under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act in February 2021. A proposal made in the context of a notice of intention was approved by the creditors and homologated by the court on March 26, 2021. Under such proposal, Algold became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aya Gold & Silver Inc. and ceased

to be a reporting issuer, effective as of June 11, 2021. Ms. Seetaroo was a director of Algold at the time the cease trade order was issued and at the time of the bankruptcy filing.

Advance Notice Policy

Pursuant to the Advance Notice Policy of the Company which was ratified by the shareholders in 2018, any additional director nominations by a shareholder of the Company must be received by the Company by May 27, 2025 and must be in compliance with the Advance Notice Policy. The Company will provide details of any such additional director nominations through a public announcement.

A copy of the Advance Notice Policy is available for viewing on the Company’s website and on SEDAR+ at www .sedarplus.ca.

Majority Voting Policy

The Board has adopted a Majority Voting Policy for the election of directors in uncontested elections. Under this policy, if a nominee receives a greater number of votes withheld from his or her election than votes for such election, the director shall immediately tender his or her resignation to the Chair of the Board. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (the “CG&N Committee”) will consider the resignation and recommend to the Board whether or not to accept it. Any director who tenders his or her resignation may not participate in the deliberations of either the CG&N Committee or the Board. In its deliberations, the CG&N Committee will consider the following: the effect such resignation may have on the Company’s ability to comply with any applicable corporate or securities laws or any applicable governance rules and policies; whether such resignation would result in a violation of a contractual provision by the Company; the stated reasons, if any, why certain shareholders cast “withheld” votes for the director, the qualifications of the director, whether the director’s resignation from the Board would be in the best interests of the Company; whether the director is a key member of an established, active special committee which has a defined term or mandate (such as a strategic review) and accepting the resignation of such director would jeopardize the achievement of the special committee’s mandate; and any other exceptional factors that the CG&N Committee considers relevant.

The Board will review the recommendation of the CG&N Committee and determine whether to accept or reject the resignation. The resignation will become effective once accepted by the Board. Within 90 days after the applicable shareholder meeting, the Company will file its decision with the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and issue a news release disclosing the Board’s decision (and, if applicable, the reasons for rejecting the resignation). If the Board accepts any tendered resignation in accordance with the Majority Voting Policy, then the Board may proceed to either fill the vacancy through the appointment of a new director, or not to fill the vacancy and instead decrease the size of the Board.

A copy of the Majority Voting Policy is available for viewing on the Company’s website.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This Circular contains certain non-International Reporting Financial Standards (“IFRS”) measures that are used by Fortuna to analyze and evaluate the performance of Fortuna's business and are widely reported in the mining industry as benchmarks for performance. These measures include “adjusted net income”, “free cash flow", all-in sustaining costs (“AISC”), “earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization” (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company believes that certain investors use these non-IFRS financial measures to evaluate the Company’s performance. However, the measures do not have a standardized meaning and may differ from measures used by other companies with similar descriptions. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

For additional information regarding these non-IFRS measures, including reconciliations to the closest comparable IFRS measures, see "Non-IFRS Financial Measures" in the Company's management's discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2024, which is available under the Company's SEDAR+ profile at www .sedarplus.ca and is incorporated by reference in this Circular.

NCIB Program

The actual number of Common Shares that may be purchased by the Company under the NCIB program, and the timing of any such purchases, will be determined by the Company based on a number of factors, including the Company’s financial performance and flexibility in the context of its financial guardrails, the availability of discretionary cash flow, and capital funding requirements. The NCIB program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular number of Common Shares, and the NCIB program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Statement of Executive Compensation

Introduction

At Fortuna, we believe executive compensation is key to helping us achieve our strategic goals and retain our success-proven team, and we design and oversee our compensation strategy with these goals in mind. Our compensation structures are built on the following pillars:

1. Pay for Performance. Our executives’ pay is highly geared to their achievement of pre-defined performance metrics, using individual short-term performance scorecards and long-term performance share units. In 2024, 79% of our CEO’s (as defined below) compensation was performance-based or at-risk pay.

2. Attraction and Retention of Quality People. Our strength is our people. We operate in a highly competitive global environment and structure our compensation to balance prudent fiscal management and attractive, long-term incentives to bring and retain the best people to work for you, our shareholders.

3. Shareholder Alignment. A fundamental tenet of our executive compensation is to establish the right mix of fixed short-term, and at-risk long-term compensation in order to encourage management to focus on long-term shareholder value. We structure our compensation to promote and provide the incentive for growth and long-term management of our business through all aspects of the commodity price cycle.

4. Executive Compensation tied to ESG Metrics. Environment, social and governance (“ESG”) priorities are part of our strategic plan and we try to capture this in our performance evaluation and executive management compensation structures. In 2024, ESG metrics accounted for 30% of our short-term incentive plan metrics.

5. Return of Capital to our Shareholders. In May 2024, we renewed our normal course issuer bid program as a method of returning capital to our shareholders. We have renewed the program for 2025 with the aim of continuing to balance returns to shareholders with advancing high value opportunities in our portfolio.

Overview

Set out below is a brief summary of our Company’s performance in 2024, our alignment when it comes to pay for performance, and our executive compensation philosophy. All values in this Statement of Executive Compensation are in US$ unless otherwise noted.

2024 Business Performance

The Company announced record gold and gold equivalent¹ production, and record sales in 2024. Cost and capital optimization initiatives across the Company’s operations were successfully implemented in 2024 and continue into 2025. As well, 2024 was the first full year of gold production from the Company’s flagship Séguéla Mine, and management’s optimization efforts at Séguéla have resulted in a planned increase in the mine’s annual gold production by 2026 at industry leading costs.

Financial highlights for 2024 include:

· Mine operating income was $343.6 million, an 81% increase over 2023

· Operating income was $228.0 million, an increase of $228.4 million from the $0.4 million in operating loss reported in 2023

· Net income was $141.9 million or $0.42 per share, an increase from a net loss of $43.6 million or $0.17 per share reported in 2023

· Adjusted net income² was $157.3 million, a 117% increase over 2023

· Adjusted EBITDA³ was $476.9 million, a 42% increase over 2023

· Free cash flow⁴ from ongoing operations was $202.9 million, a 32% increase over 2023

· Net cash provided by operating activities was $365.7 million, an increase of 23% over 2023

Production

In 2024, the Company produced 369,637 ounces of gold and 3.7 million ounces of silver or 455,958 gold equivalent¹ ounces. Production highlights for 2024 are:

· Gold production of 369,637 ounces, a 13% increase over 2023

· Silver production of 3,724,945 ounces, a 37% decrease over 2023

· Lead production of 39,555,339 pounds, a 3% decrease over 2023

· Zinc production of 51,905,635 pounds, a 6% decrease over 2023

Contributions to the record gold production in 2024 included 253,987 ounces of gold from our West African mines: 137,781 ounces of gold from the Séguéla Mine and 116,206 ounces of gold by the Yaramoko Mine (both being at the higher end of production guidance, and 97,287 ounces of gold from our Lindero Mine in Argentina (at the midpoint of production guidance).

Sales and Costs

Consolidated sales for fiscal 2024 were a record $1,062.0 million, a 26% increase compared to $842.4 million in 2023. The increase was mainly due to higher gold sales volume and higher gold prices. Higher gold sales volume resulted mainly from the full year contribution of the Séguéla Mine upon successful commissioning and ramp-up in Q2 2023. The realized gold price was $2,401 per ounce in 2024 compared to $1,948 per ounce in 2023.

¹ Gold equivalent (AuEq) production for 2024 includes gold, silver, lead and zinc and is calculated using the following metal prices and ratios: $2,401/oz Au, $28.04/oz Ag, $2,072/t Pb and $2,786/t Zn; or Au:Ag = 1:85.6, Au:Pb = 1:1.16, Au:Zn = 1:0.86

² Adjusted net income is a non-IFRS measure. See “Non-IFRS Financial Measures” on page 13 of this Circular.

³ EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-IFRS measures. See “Non-IFRS Financial Measures” on page 13 of this Circular.

⁴ Free cash flow (FCF) is a non-IFRS measure. See “Non-IFRS Financial Measures” on page 13 of this Circular.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Statement of Executive Compensation Page | A-2

Consolidated AISC⁵ in 2024 was $1,640 per ounce on a gold equivalent⁶ sold basis compared to $1,480 per ounce for 2023. The increase in AISC⁵ was the result of higher cash costs as 2023 benefitted from low cost production at Séguéla. 2024 was also impacted by higher general and administrative (“G&A”) costs from the full year of operations at Séguéla, higher share-based compensation, and previously capitalized development costs at the San Jose mine were expensed.

Health and Safety

The Company is committed to ensuring the highest possible standards of health and safety management and to provide safe and healthy working conditions in all areas of our operations. We believe that all work-related accidents, injuries and diseases are preventable. Occupational health and safety is one of Fortuna’s core values and a pillar of our Sustainability Framework. The Company’s Health and Safety Policy aims to support the attainment of a safe, healthy working environment, as well as a zero harm workplace for our employees, contractors, and visitors, at all of our mining operations, exploration sites, and offices.

Highlights of the Company’s health and safety management performance for 2024 include:

· Zero fatalities as a result of work-related injuries.

· Total recordable frequency injury rate (“TRIFR”) of 1.36 and a lost time injury frequency rate at 0.48 per million hours worked for a total of 14.7 million hours including contractors. The Company’s TRIFR performance has improved by more than 100% since 2021, where it had a TRIFR of over 3 at the time.

· At the end of 2024, the Yaramoko Mine achieved the status of having completed over four years of operations without recording a lost time injury incident.

Based on past events, the Company’s safety programs have been optimized, taking into account the lessons learned from incident investigations. In particular, the Company has advanced the implementation of its Critical Risk Management (“CRM”) program and developed a Contractor Management Standard to improve oversight and risk management of contractors on site. In addition, a risk-based leadership training program is being implemented company-wide to reinforce the health and safety culture of our organization. In 2024, we completed the development of 15 CRM standards designed to eliminate fatal incidents in our operations. We also continued implementing these standards across all our mining operations.

Advancement of the Diamba Sud Gold Project

The Company’s Mineral Resource estimates as of December 31, 2024 included the Company’s first-time disclosure of the Diamba Sud gold project Mineral Resources prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. The Diamba Sud estimate is based on an extensive drill program conducted by the Company from October 2023 to July 2024 comprising 497 holes totalling 64,892 metres. Expansion drilling of known deposits, as well as drilling of new targets, is planned for 2025.

Pay for Performance Alignment

A significant portion of executive pay is provided in the form of equity compensation. This pay-for-performance alignment with shareholder interests is strengthened by the Company’s performance share unit plan (the “Share Unit Plan”). The Company’s Compensation Committee notes that total compensation for the NEOs (as defined below), as disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table on page A-27, includes the grant date value of option and share based compensation. As such, the total compensation disclosure does not reflect the fluctuations in value realizable by executives, which ultimately aligns our executive compensation with shareholder experience. For example, the grant date value of share units awarded to the President and CEO, Jorge Ganoza Durant, in 2024 was $1,819,414; however, due to the vesting restrictions imposed, the value of these awards at December 31, 2024 was $Nil as no portion of the awards had vested by that date. The

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Statement of Executive Compensation Page | A-3

Compensation Committee believes that deferment of some components of compensation through the application of time-vesting and performance vesting schedules supports retention of executives and long-term alignment with shareholder value.

Executive Compensation Philosophy

Fortuna’s success is built on our people. In addition to investing in high quality tangible assets, Fortuna also invests in market leading human and intellectual capital. Our compensation philosophy is designed to attract and retain highly qualified and motivated executives who are dedicated to the long-term success of the Company and to the creation and protection of shareholder value. Our goal is to focus and motivate employees to achieve higher levels of performance and to appropriately reward those employees for their results. We believe that shareholders should also be rewarded by the efforts of our team, as evidenced by Fortuna’s strong balance sheet and growth in gold production over the past five years.

We believe our pay-for-performance compensation structure aligns our executives with the long-term interests of shareholders. Based on results achieved by both the individual and the Company, our executive compensation structure is strongly performance-based. Our program illustrates our strong focus on pay-for-performance, with a significant proportion of executive compensation at risk, in the form of performance-based short-term cash incentives, as well as long-term share price contingent RSUs and PSUs.

Fortuna’s executive compensation program and practices are described in detail below. The Compensation Committee believes that Fortuna’s compensation governance provides transparent and effective support for the attainment of Fortuna’s key business objectives, alignment with its shareholders’ interests and the creation of long-term value for all stakeholders.

Compensation Governance

Objectives of Compensation

Fortuna operates a complex business in a highly competitive market for experienced executives. We compete with both public and private, and often larger, mining companies for experienced management capable of delivering superior value. Fortuna’s people make the difference in distinguishing its performance relative to its peers. The Company’s compensation program is, therefore, designed to be competitive with its peers to ensure that it can attract, motivate and retain the highly-qualified individuals with the skills and experience necessary to execute the Company’s growth-oriented strategic plan and create sustainable value for Fortuna’s shareholders.

The primary objectives of Fortuna’s executive compensation program are to attract, motivate and retain top-quality, experienced executives who will deliver long-term superior value. Noting that ours is a commodity-based business, Fortuna’s share price is heavily influenced by the price of gold and silver. Fortuna, therefore, balances its compensation program with rewards for the attainment of operational measures and risk management that are within executives’ ability to influence. Essential to our core business objectives are the following elements:

· To recruit and retain high calibre, appropriately qualified executive officers by offering overall base salary compensation competitive with that offered for comparable positions among a peer group of similarly situated mineral resource companies, while strongly aligning total compensation with performance. For example, executive compensation is structured so that the “at risk” component represents a significant portion of each executive’s total compensation. Our goal is to offer superior opportunities to achieve personal and career goals in a growth-focused team with corresponding pay for performance.

· To motivate executives to achieve important corporate and individual performance objectives that may be influenced by the executive and reward them when such objectives are met or exceeded.

· To align the interests of executive officers with shareholders’ interests by providing incentives that balance short- and long-term business goals, reflect value created for shareholders, and support the retention of key executives. This element is delivered primarily through a cash-based short-term incentive plan and a long-term incentive plan

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Statement of Executive Compensation Page | A-4

consisting of share units granted to vest with performance and over time. While the bonus plan rewards executives on attainment of annual objectives/milestones, typically our executives see the majority of their compensation in the form of long-term equity tied to long-term value creation. Previous equity grants are taken into account when the granting of new share units or other equity awards is contemplated.

· To ensure that total compensation paid takes into account the Company’s overall financial position.

Share Ownership Policy

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), Chief Operating Officers, Senior Vice-Presidents and directors are required to achieve and maintain minimum shareholding thresholds. The CEO is required to have acquired Common Shares and/or share-settled share units of the Company having a value equal to three times the gross amount of his annual base salary; the CFO is required to have acquired Common Shares and/or share-settled share units having a value equal to two times the gross amount of his annual base salary, and each of the Chief Operating Officers and Senior Vice-Presidents must have acquired Common Shares and/or share-settled share units having a value equal to the gross amount of his annual base salary. Non-executive directors are required to hold Common Shares and/or DSUs (as defined below) of the Company having a value equal to three times the gross amount of their annual director retainer.

As at December 31, 2024, all NEOs and five of our seven non-executive directors have met their minimum shareholding targets. See page B-18 of the “Corporate Governance” schedule of this Circular for details.

Role of the Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing matters pertaining to the Company’s compensation philosophy, programs and policies, including director and executive compensation and grants, and making recommendations to the Board for approval. In particular, the Compensation Committee’s duties include making recommendations to the Board regarding: the goals and objectives of the CEO and CFO and evaluating the CEO’s and CFO’s performance in light thereof; CEO, CFO and director compensation; bonus plans for executives; equity-based plans; and approving the Company’s annual Statement of Executive Compensation.

The Compensation Committee meets at least twice annually and is comprised of three directors, all of whom (including the chair) are independent within the meaning of section 1.4 of National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees. David Farrell is independent, was appointed chair on March 12, 2015 and has served on the Compensation Committee since May 9, 2014. David Laing is independent and has served on the Compensation Committee since December 21, 2016, and Alfredo Sillau is also independent and has served on the Compensation Committee since May 1, 2018. The provisions of the Charter of the Compensation Committee relating to composition include a provision that no member of the Compensation Committee shall have served as the CEO of the Company or of an affiliate, within the past five years, or as the CFO of the Company or of an affiliate, within the past three years.

The complete terms of the Compensation Committee Charter are available on Fortuna’s website on the “Corporate Governance” page.

The Compensation Committee members have the necessary experience to enable them to make decisions on the suitability of the Company’s compensation policies or practices. Messrs. Farrell and Laing have in the past served, or currently serve, on compensation committees of other public resource or mining companies. The Board is satisfied that the composition of the Compensation Committee ensures an objective process for determining compensation.

In support of the fulfilment of their role, the Compensation Committee may, from time to time, engage and receive input from external independent advisors skilled in executive compensation matters, with knowledge of the mining industry. In 2022 and 2024, the Compensation Committee engaged Global Governance Advisors (“GGA”), an independent executive compensation and governance advisory firm with significant experience advising mining company boards. For certain compensation matters pertaining to executive officers other than the CEO and CFO, the Compensation Committee fulfils its responsibility in consultation with the CEO. The Compensation Committee reviews recommendations made by the CEO and has discretion to modify any of the recommendations before making its independent recommendations to the Board.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Statement of Executive Compensation Page | A-5

When considering the appropriate compensation to be paid to executive officers, the Compensation Committee considers a number of factors including:

· Recruiting and retaining executives critical to the success of Fortuna and the enhancement of shareholder value;

· Providing fair and competitive compensation that provides pay for performance;

· Aligning the interests of management and shareholders by including measures of shareholder value among key performance metrics for executive compensation awards and compensation elements that emphasize contingent at-risk and equity-linked compensation;

· Rewarding performance that supports long-term sustainable value, both on an individual basis and at an overall company level; and

· Available financial resources and the economic outlook affecting Fortuna’s business.

In early 2024, the Compensation Committee engaged GGA to conduct a review of the competitiveness of the compensation levels of the Company’s senior executives and non-employee directors against our peer group and supplemental benchmarks from GGA’s database. Based on GGA’s 2024 Reports (the “GGA 2024 Reports”) and the recommendation of the Compensation Committee as applicable, the base salaries of the NEOs either remained the same as 2023 or were slightly increased to align with our peers and the broader marketplace. See “NEO Compensation – Base Salary” below for more details.

Also based on the GGA 2024 Reports and the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the annual cash retainers for non-Chair members of the Company’s Board committees were moderately increased for 2024. See “Director Compensation – Retainer Fees” below for more detail.

Role of the Chief Executive Officer

The CEO plays a role in executive compensation decisions by making recommendations to:

· the Board regarding the Company’s annual objectives that provide the structure for the assessment of compensable corporate performance and alignment of individual annual objectives of other executive officers and employees; and

· the Compensation Committee regarding CEO and CFO base salary adjustments, target annual performance-based cash incentives awards and actual pay-outs, and long-term incentive awards in the form of grants under the Share Unit Plan.

Role of Independent Third Party Compensation Advisors

The Compensation Committee periodically engages GGA to prepare reports of the competitiveness of the compensation levels for the senior executives and non-executive directors against Company’s primary peer group and supplemental benchmarks from GGA’s database.

The Compensation Committee engaged GGA to review compensation levels for 2024, and GGA was also engaged to review the Company’s compensation disclosure in its 2024 management proxy circular.

For the financial years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, the Company paid independent compensation advisors the following amounts:

Elements of Executive Compensation

As discussed above, Fortuna’s compensation program has been comprised of three main elements: base salary, annual performance-based cash incentive award, and grant of equity-based long-term incentive compensation in the form of performance share units (“PSUs”), restricted share units (“RSUs”) and/or stock options.

In 2022 and 2023, the Company granted cash-settled RSUs and share-settled PSUs to its senior executives in order to align executive compensation with shareholder interests. This practice was continued in 2024. The PSUs granted in March 2024 make up 50% (based on the grant date fair value) of long-term incentive compensation for the executives, the vesting of which is subject to the satisfaction of corporate performance objectives. The specific design, rationale, determination of amounts, and related information regarding each of these components are outlined below.

Element of Compensation	Description	Relationship to Corporate Objectives	Element “At- Risk” or “Fixed”
Base Salary	Base salaries are the only fixed pay element and are set based on the position and the individual executive’s growth-to-competence in the role. They are also used as the base to determine the value of other elements of compensation (i.e. multiple of base salary).	Competitive base salaries enable the Company to attract and retain highly qualified executives and provide essential stability in times of market volatility.	Fixed
Annual Performance-Based Cash Incentives	Annual performance-based cash incentives are a variable element of compensation designed to reward executive officers for achievement of annual milestones consistent with the long-term strategic plan and are split between corporate and individual performance metrics. Target percentages are fixed each year by the Board.	Short-term milestone goals typically represent a balanced portfolio of metrics with a one-year horizon. They are structured to balance elements that are within the control of management (for example: production, safety and development milestones) with external factors (financial metrics which fluctuate with metal prices, and total shareholder return (“TSR”) which is influenced by short-term market sentiment).	At-Risk
Long-Term Equity Incentives	RSUs, PSUs and stock options are a variable element of compensation intended to reward executives for success in achieving sustained shareholder value reflected in share price. As these grants vest over time, they are also important for executive retention.	Long-term incentives encourage executives to focus on consistent value creation over the longer term (3 years in the case of RSUs and PSUs and up to 5 years for stock options).  Equity grants strongly align the interests of executives with long-term interests of shareholders since the received value is dependent on absolute future share performance.	At-Risk

Peer Comparator Companies - Benchmarking

Fundamental to Fortuna’s compensation philosophy is to provide competitive compensation in support of the attraction and retention of high calibre executives. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee relies on input from independent compensation advisors from time to time and other outside information, including the insight of Board members.

Our goal is to design and implement compensation packages that are fair and reasonable, based in large part on benchmarking against similar companies, but offering incentive for above-average performance. The ultimate test of this process is our ability to attract and retain high-performance executives over the long term.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Statement of Executive Compensation Page | A-7

In determining an appropriate group of comparator mining companies for consideration in determining the Company’s compensation level, the Compensation Committee considers the following criteria in creating our peer group:

· companies of similar scope to Fortuna’s metrics, primarily from a market capitalization perspective, but also considering other factors such as production levels, and geographical location;

· companies with a similar gold and silver production profile;

· companies who are operational and produce revenue;

· companies with a similar business strategy and scope of operations to Fortuna; and

· publicly traded companies on major Canadian and American exchanges.

Based on these factors, it was determined that the following companies were suitable peer comparators for consideration in determining senior executive compensation for 2024:

Alamos Gold Inc.	Eldorado Gold Corporation	Lundin Gold Inc.
Aris Mining Corporation	Equinox Gold Corp.	OceanaGold Corp.
B2 Gold Corp.	First Majestic Silver Corp.	Pan American Silver Corp.
Centerra Gold Inc.	Hudbay Minerals Inc.	Perseus Mining Limited
Dundee Precious Metals Inc.	IAMGOLD Inc.	SSR Mining Inc.

For 2024, our peer group has been updated with the addition of B2 Gold Corp., Hudbay Minerals Inc. and Pan American Silver Corp. and the deletion of Coeur Mining Inc., Hecla Mining Company, New Gold Inc. and Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd.

Our compensation decisions are guided by experience and professional judgment, with due consideration of our benchmark data, but including assessment of a complex range of factors including the experience, tenure, and unique leadership characteristics of our executives. Our benchmarking process is a guideline to making the right decision in specific cases, not a pre-determination of compensation decisions.

Risk Assessment

The Compensation Committee considers the risk implications associated with Fortuna’s compensation policies and practices on an on-going basis and as part of its annual compensation review. There are no identified risks arising from the Company’s compensation policies and practices that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The executive compensation program seeks to encourage actions and behaviours directed towards increasing long-term value while modifying and limiting incentives that promote inappropriate risk-taking.

The Compensation Committee’s risk assessment and management is based on the underlying philosophy that guides the Compensation Committee in the design of the key elements of compensation as follows:

· provide total compensation that is competitive to attract, retain and motivate high calibre executives in a mining employment marketplace with a shortage of world-class executive talent;

· balance the mix or relative value of the key elements of compensation (salary, annual performance-based cash incentives, long-term incentives), providing sufficient stable income at a competitive level so as to discourage inappropriate risk taking while also providing an important portion of total compensation that is variable and “at-risk” for executives;

· strengthen and maintain the link between pay and performance, both Company and individual performance, and ensure the objectives against which performance is measured can be fairly assessed and do not encourage inappropriate risk taking; and

· defer a significant portion of “at-risk” compensation to keep executives focused on continuous long-term, sustainable performance.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Statement of Executive Compensation Page | A-8

Some specific controls that are in place to mitigate certain risks are as follows:

· Business Continuity and Executive Retention Risk. Total compensation is reviewed annually to ensure it remains competitive year over year and that we have sufficient ‘holds’ on our key talent through potential forfeiture of unvested incentives, for example.

· Environmental and Safety Risk. Environmental and safety performance are important factors used to assess the on-going performance of the Company and have an important (and direct) impact on executive pay, in that improvements in safety and environmental metrics are rewarded and negative environmental and safety events will negatively affect contingent compensation.

· Cash Flow Risk. Salary levels are fixed in advance, while annual performance-based cash incentive awards are limited, in that they are linked to performance and are a percentage of salary.

· Share Dilution Risk (from issuances of long-term incentives in the form of stock options and certain RSUs and PSUs which may be share-settled). Fortuna’s stock option plan (“Stock Option Plan”) has been limited to 12,200,000 Common Shares under option for many years, and no stock options have been granted since 2018. In addition, deferred share units (“DSUs”) are paid in cash based on the Common Share price at the time of payout, rather than by issuing shares. Further, certain RSUs have been paid in cash based on the Common Share price at the time of payout, rather than by issuing shares, noting that all RSUs granted since 2021 are to be paid out in cash.

In 2020, we also reduced the maximum share reservation limit from 5% to 2.25% under our Share Unit Plan. See “Share Unit Plan” on page A-16.

· Inappropriate Risk Taking. Align executive interests with interests of shareholders by encouraging equity exposure through long-term incentives such as RSUs and PSUs, and mitigating incentives to undermine value through an anti-hedging policy.

Vesting Philosophy

The Compensation Committee believes that deferment of some components of compensation through the application of vesting schedules and performance goals supports retention of executives and long-term alignment with shareholder value. Accordingly, equity awards have the following vesting schedules:

Stock Options:	50% vest after one year; 50% vest after two years.
RSUs:	20% vest after one year; 30% vest after two years; 50% vest after three years.
PSUs:	20% vest after one year; 30% vest after two years; 50% vest after three years – each vesting subject to fulfillment of performance goals by each vesting date.

Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy

On the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, in 2016 the Board adopted an Incentive Compensation Clawback Policy in order to provide a measure of accountability and to ensure that incentive compensation paid by the Company to its officers, directors and employees is based on accurate financial and operational data. Up to the entire amount of annual incentives, performance based compensation and short- and long-term incentives awarded, paid or payable to officers, directors and employees of the Company could be forfeited or subject to repayment in the event of a restatement of the Company’s financial statements due to inaccurate data.

In November 2023, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee and approval by the Board, this policy was retitled “Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy” and updated to include new requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), as well as the compensation recovery provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (which differ from the NYSE requirements). Retained from our previous policy is the requirement that the policy applies not only to executive officers (the minimum required by the NYSE), but also to any employee whose fraud, theft, embezzlement, serious misconduct or negligence caused or contributed to the restatement of the Company’s financial statements.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Statement of Executive Compensation Page | A-9

Anti-Hedging Policy

Pursuant to the Company’s Anti-Hedging Policy adopted in early 2015, no director or officer of Fortuna is permitted to purchase financial instruments, including, for greater certainty, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, or units of exchange funds that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of any Company securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by such director or officer.

NEO Compensation

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Company’s most recent fiscal year end, five individuals were “named executive officers” of the Company within the meaning of the definition set out in National Instrument Form 51-102F6 - “Statement of Executive Compensation”. The following information provides disclosure of the compensation paid or payable by the Company to its CEO, CFO and its three most highly compensated executive officers (other than the CEO and CFO):

· Jorge Ganoza Durant, President (since January 23, 2006) and CEO (since August 13, 2008),

· Luis Ganoza Durant, CFO (since June 5, 2006),

· David Whittle, Chief Operating Officer, West Africa (since October 1, 2022; formerly Vice-President, Operations – West Africa from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022),

· Cesar Velasco, Chief Operating Officer, Latin America (since September 1, 2021), and

· Eric Chapman, Senior Vice-President, Technical Services (since October 1, 2021),

(herein collectively referred to as “NEOs”).

Base Salary

In establishing levels of cash and equity-based compensation, the Company considers the executive’s performance, level of expertise, responsibilities, and comparable levels of remuneration paid to executives of other companies of similar size, development and complexity within the mining industry. Fortuna believes that it is not always appropriate, however, to place full reliance on external salary surveys because of the years of service and experience of the Company’s executive team and the specific circumstances of the Company. The base salaries for the CEO and the CFO are reviewed by the Compensation Committee and any increase is recommended to the Board at the beginning of a fiscal year. Base salaries for the other NEOs are assessed and set by the CEO.

The Compensation Committee continues to monitor competitive conditions including executive retention risks, and reviewed information provided by GGA. Based on the GGA 2024 Reports and on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee as applicable, the 2024 base salaries of NEOs were set at the same as, or slightly greater than, in 2023, namely:

NEO	Percentage Change in Base Salary
CEO		4	%
CFO		0	%
COO, West Africa		6	%
COO, Latin America		3	%
Senior VP, Technical Services		0	%

For 2023, the base salaries of the NEOs increased by 4% to keep pace with cost-of-living increases and their short-term incentive target percentages remained unchanged over 2022.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Statement of Executive Compensation Page | A-10

Annual Performance-Based Cash Incentives

Based on the recommendations of the Compensation Committee, the Board will approve the bonus target and form of scorecard for each of the CEO and CFO. The CEO will approve the bonus target and form of scorecard for each Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice-President and will evaluate the performance of those individuals. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board has the discretion to adjust the amounts of annual performance-based cash incentives based on a recommendation by the Compensation Committee.

In early 2024, the Board, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved an annual cash bonus plan for the executive officers as was similarly approved in 2023 and 2022. These annual performance-based cash incentives include the following variables:

· Target Levels: A percentage of base salary which takes into account the executive’s level of expertise and responsibilities, as well as comparable levels of remuneration of peer comparator companies.

· Scorecard Result. A measure of performance based on the achievement of personal and corporate objectives during the fiscal year. Both personal and corporate objectives are defined for each executive of the Company.

Target Levels

Taking into consideration information provided by GGA, the Compensation Committee did not recommend any changes in the bonus target levels for the Company’s 2024 NEOs annual performance-based cash incentive. Accordingly, the bonus target details for 2024 remain as they were in 2023, as follows:

	Target Annual			Percentage of NEO’s Total Objectives for 2024
NEO	Performance-Based Cash Incentive (% of Base Salary)			Consolidated Corporate Objectives			Regional Corporate Objectives			Personal Objectives
CEO		100	%		100	%		0	%		0	%
CFO		80	%		75	%		0	%		25	%
COO, West Africa		80	%		0	%		20	%		80	%
COO, Latin America		80	%		0	%		20	%		80	%
Senior VP, Technical Services		70	%		20	%		0	%		80	%

2024 Scorecards – Achievement Factors and Results

Other than in respect of the CEO, each NEO’s annual performance-based cash incentive includes personal objectives and the Company’s consolidated or regional corporate objectives. The consolidated corporate objectives and results of 2024 for the NEOs are set out in the table below.

Annual Performance-Based Cash Incentives Awarded for Fiscal 2024 Performance

The 2024 consolidated corporate objectives and results on which the annual performance-based cash incentives were awarded for fiscal 2024 performance are set out on pages A-11 to A-13.

The following is a summary of the Company’s consolidated performance results in 2024:

· Financial results exceeded the target range maximum in that category, primarily based upon higher gold sales volume and higher gold prices, as well as the cost and capital optimization initiatives across the Company’s operations.

· In the Operational category, gold production and consolidated AISC⁷ for the year were within their mid-range targets.

· For the Growth category, the Diamba Sud Mineral Resource evaluation work was completed in 2024, and approximately 473k oz of gold (Measured and Indicated) and 148k oz of gold (Inferred) were added to Fortuna's Mineral Resources inventory.

· All of the ESG subcategories met or exceeded their mid-range targets.

Based on the foregoing factors, and on the personal performance of our NEOs for 2024, annual performance-based cash incentives for the financial year ended December 31, 2024 were determined in March 2025 and paid to NEOs as follows:

NEO	Annual Performance-Based Cash Incentive Amount		Achievement Level Percentage
Jorge Ganoza Durant, President & CEO	$	902,800		122	%
Luis Ganoza Durant, CFO	$	505,523		124	%
David Whittle, COO, West Africa	$	482,856		130	%
Cesar Velasco, COO, Latin America	$	348,160		102	%

Medium- and Long-Term Incentives

Stock Option Plan

The Stock Option Plan is designed to be competitive within the natural resource industry, and its objective is to align the interests of the Company’s personnel with shareholders by linking compensation to the longer-term performance of Common Shares, and to provide our personnel with a significant incentive to continue and increase their efforts in advancing the Company’s operations.

Incentive options were granted annually from the establishment of the Stock Option Plan in 2011 through 2015, and in 2017 and 2018. However, commencing in 2019, no stock options were granted, and commencing in 2013, non-executive directors are no longer granted incentive stock options, rather they receive equity-based compensation through DSUs. No stock options were exercised by NEOs in 2024.

When stock options are granted, they generally have a term of five years and have a vesting restriction of 50% exercisable after one year and 100% exercisable after two years from the date of grant. Upon vesting, the holder of an option is free to exercise and sell the underlying Common Shares subject to applicable securities laws. It is the Company’s policy to not re-price outstanding stock options.

The Company does not have a policy in respect of holding or retention periods for exercised stock options.

The Stock Option Plan was approved by the shareholders on May 26, 2011, as subsequently amended and restated effective March 1, 2015. The material terms of the Stock Option Plan are summarized as follows:

1. options may be granted under the Stock Option Plan to such directors, officers, employees and service providers of Fortuna or its subsidiaries as the Board may from time to time designate;

2. the Stock Option Plan reserves a maximum of 12,200,000 Common Shares for issuance on exercise of options (representing 3.975% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as at December 31, 2024);

3. Fortuna currently has no options outstanding, and as a result of option exercises and cancellations since the Stock Option Plan was established, the total number of Common Shares underlying options that are currently available for future grants is 2,950,529 (0.961% of Fortuna’s current issued share capital).

4. the number of options granted to independent directors in any 12 month period cannot exceed 1% of Fortuna’s total issued and outstanding securities (the Company has not issued stock options to independent directors since 2013);

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Statement of Executive Compensation Page | A-15

5. the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to any one individual in any 12 month period may not exceed 5% of the issued capital, unless Fortuna has obtained disinterested shareholder approval;

6. the number of Common Shares underlying options: (i) issued to insiders of the Company, within any one year period, and (ii) issuable to insiders of Fortuna, at any time, under the Stock Option Plan, or when combined with all of Fortuna’s other security-based compensation arrangements, cannot exceed 10% of Fortuna’s total issued and outstanding securities, respectively;

Share Unit Plan

Overview

In November 2010, the Board, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, established the Share Unit Plan which initially provided for the granting of RSUs only but was amended in March 2015 to include PSUs. The purposes of the Share Unit Plan are to promote a greater alignment of interests between officers and employees of the Company and the shareholders of the Company, to associate a portion of officer and employee compensation with the returns achieved by shareholders of the Company over the medium term, and to attract and retain officers and employees with the knowledge, experience and expertise required by the Company. The Board may award such number of RSUs or PSUs (“Share Units”) to an eligible officer or employee (a “Grantee”) to provide appropriate equity-based compensation for the services that he or she renders to the Company.

In 2017, the Board approved, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, and the shareholders subsequently ratified, amendments to the Share Unit Plan which permit the Board to grant RSUs and PSUs that will be settled in Common Shares, or a mix of Common Shares and cash, rather than purely in cash. The purpose of these amendments was to better align executive compensation with the interests of the Company’s shareholders, to reduce the mark-to-market effect of cash-settled Share Units on the Company’s financial results, and to bring the terms of the Company’s Share Units in line with those granted by its peers.

On April 20, 2020, the Board approved, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, and the shareholders subsequently ratified, an amendment to the Share Unit Plan which reduced the number of shares that can be issued upon vesting of Share Units at the time of grant from 5% to 2.25%. This amendment was made to better align the Share Unit Plan with governance best practices.

The number of Common Shares issuable under the Share Unit Plan is limited to a fixed maximum percentage of 2.25% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares from time to time, provided that, in combination with all other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company, the aggregate number of Common Shares issuable thereunder will not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares from time to time. The maximum number of Common Shares issuable under the Share Unit Plan to insiders of the Company, in combination with all other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company, at any time will not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, and the number of securities to be issued to insiders of the Company pursuant to such arrangements within any one-year period will not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. The maximum number of Common Shares issuable under the Share Unit Plan to any one individual, together with any Common Shares issuable pursuant to any other security-based compensation arrangement of the Company, will not exceed 2% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares from time to time which equaled 6,138,564 Common Shares as at December 31, 2024. The Share Unit Plan also requires that shareholder approval be obtained for certain amendments in accordance with the requirements of the TSX, including in the event of an increase in the maximum number of Common Shares issuable under the Share Unit Plan or an extension of the expiry date for the Share Units granted under the Share Unit Plan (see “Amendments” below for further details).

As at the date of this Circular, an aggregate of 1,996,507 Common Shares are issuable pursuant to share-settled Share Units granted under the Share Unit Plan (0.650% of the Company’s current issued share capital) and as a result of the settlement of Share Units and cancellations since the Share Unit Plan was established, the total number of Common Shares underlying Share Units that are currently available for future grants is 4,910,093 (1.600% of the Company’s current issued share capital). Such Share Units do not include the Legacy Share Units (see “Legacy Share-Based Compensation Plans” below).

Eligible Participants

Participation in the Share Unit Plan is restricted to employees and officers of the Company or an affiliate of the Company (each, an “Eligible Participant”).

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Statement of Executive Compensation Page | A-17

Transferability

The rights or interests, including Share Units, of a Grantee under the Share Unit Plan may not be assigned, transferred or alienated in any way (other than to the beneficiary or estate of a Grantee, as the case may be, upon the death of the Grantee).

Administration of the Plan

The Share Unit Plan permits the Board to grant awards of Share Units to an Eligible Participant. Upon vesting, the Share Units give the Grantee a right to payment in cash in an amount equal to the fair market value of the vested Share Unit on the date of payment, less any withholding taxes. Share Units granted after the adoption of the amendments to the Share Unit Plan approved in 2017, which have vested, may be paid out in Common Shares, cash or a combination of Common Shares and cash equal to the fair market value of the vested Share Unit on the date of payment. “Fair market value” means, with respect to any particular date, the average closing price for a Common Share on the TSX on the five trading days immediately prior to that date.

Share Units shall expire if they have not vested prior to the expiry date of the Share Unit as established by the Board, which shall be no later than December 31 of the third calendar year following the end of the year in which the services to which the grant of such Share Unit relates (or where such services straddle two calendar years, the first calendar year in which the services to which the grant of such Share Units relates) were rendered. In addition, PSUs will be terminated to the extent that the performance objectives or other vesting criteria have not been met.

If a Grantee’s employment or service with the Company is terminated due to the voluntary resignation of the Grantee, then all Share Units granted to such person which have not vested prior to their resignation shall be forfeited and cancelled, and any vested Share Units credited to the Grantee’s account shall be paid out to such person as soon as practicable.

If a Grantee’s employment or service with the Company is terminated by the Company without cause, by such person for “good reason” (such as a demotion, a reduction in pay or a required relocation) or due to a disability or such person’s retirement, then: 1) such person shall be entitled to a pay out of that portion of PSUs that have vested as of the termination date, and all unvested PSUs shall be forfeited and cancelled; and 2) a fraction of such person’s unvested RSUs shall immediately vest in proportion to the number of days that such person was actively employed between the grant date and the termination date, with the remainder of the unvested RSUs held by such person being forfeited and cancelled. Any vested Share Units credited to the Grantee’s account as of the termination date shall be paid out to such person as soon as practicable.

If a Grantee is terminated for cause, such person’s Share Units, whether vested or unvested, shall be forfeited and cancelled as of the termination date. If a Grantee’s employment or service with the Company is terminated by the Company within 12 months of the occurrence of a change of control, or such person terminates his or her employment for “good reason” within 12 months after a change of control occurs, then all outstanding Share Units which have not vested shall immediately vest and be paid out.

If a Grantee’s employment or service with the Company is terminated due to the death of such person, then: 1) such person’s beneficiaries shall be entitled to be paid out that portion of the PSUs that have vested, and all unvested PSUs shall be forfeited and cancelled; and 2) a fraction of such person’s unvested RSUs shall immediately vest in proportion to the number of days that such person was actively employed between the grant date and his or her date of death, with the remainder of the unvested RSUs held by such person being forfeited and cancelled. Any vested Share Units credited to the Grantee’s account as of the date of his or her death shall be paid out to such person’s beneficiaries as soon as practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Grantee’s employment or service with the Company is terminated due to his or her death while performing his or her regular duties as an officer or employee of the Company, then all outstanding Share Units which have not vested shall immediately vest and be paid out to such person’s beneficiaries.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Statement of Executive Compensation Page | A-18

Vesting of Share Units

Share Units vest at the discretion of the Board, in which the vesting schedule is generally fixed at the time of grant by the Board. We believe that deferment of some components of compensation through the application of vesting schedules and performance goals supports retention of executives and long-term alignment with shareholder value. Accordingly, equity awards vest 20% after one year, 30% after two years, and 50% after three years, and each vesting of PSUs is subject to fulfillment of performance goals by each vesting date.

Payment of Share Units

Share Units granted after the adoption of the 2017 amendments to the Share Unit Plan which have vested, may be paid out in Common Shares, cash or a combination of Common Shares and cash equal to the fair market value of the vested Share Unit on the date of payment. Share Units are paid upon each vesting date in Common Shares, cash or a mix of Common Shares and cash, at the Board’s discretion, in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Share Units; however, the payout of PSUs is also subject to satisfaction of performance criteria.

Dividends

Share Units are not considered to be Common Shares of the Company under the Share Unit Plan, and do not entitle a Grantee to dividends.

Fractional Entitlements

No fractional Common Shares may be issued under the Share Unit Plan, before or after the amendments described hereunder.

Amendments

The Share Unit Plan may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Board, in whole or in part, at any time; provided, however, that no such amendment shall, without the consent of the Eligible Participants affected by the amendment, adversely affect the rights accrued to such Eligible Participants with respect to Share Units granted prior to the date of the amendment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, shareholder approval shall be obtained in accordance with the requirements of the TSX for any amendment that results in:

(a) an increase in the maximum number of Common Shares issuable under the Share Unit Plan;

(b) an amendment to the individuals designated as Eligible Participants under the Share Unit Plan;

(c) an extension of the expiry date for Share Units granted under the Share Unit Plan;

(d) an amendment that would permit a Share Unit to be transferable or assignable, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; or

(e) an amendment to the amendment provisions contained in the Share Unit Plan.

Legacy Share-Based Compensation Plans

In connection with the closing of the Company’s acquisition of Roxgold Inc. (“Roxgold”) in 2021 (the “Roxgold Acquisition”), Fortuna issued certain replacement stock options (“Legacy Options”) and assumed certain share units (“Legacy Share Units”) which were governed by the terms of the stock option plan of Roxgold dated March 5, 2020 (as amended) and the restricted share unit plan of Roxgold dated December 18, 2012 (as amended). As of December 31, 2023 there were no outstanding Legacy Options or Legacy Share Units. These legacy stock option and share unit plans are no longer in effect.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Statement of Executive Compensation Page | A-19

Annual Burn Rate

In accordance with the rules of the TSX, the table below sets out the Company’s annual burn rate in respect of stock options and Share Units granted during the past three fiscal years (“Burn Rate”). The Burn Rate is expressed as a percentage and is calculated by dividing the number of stock options and Share Units granted during the relevant fiscal year by the weighted average number of the Common Shares outstanding for the year.  The information in the table below does not include the Legacy Options or the Legacy Share Units.

	Stock Options		Share Settled Units					Total					Weighted Average Common
Year	Granted	Burn Rate	Granted		Burn Rate			Granted		Burn Rate			Shares Outstanding
2024	N/A	N/A		1,038,383		0.34	%		1,038,383		0.34	%		308,884,625

PSUs Granted in 2024

On March 8, 2024, the Board approved the following grants of PSUs (the “2024 PSUs”) to the NEOs listed in the table below, which are subject to performance targets related 50% to three-year Relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) and 50% to Growth, which is intended to further align management of our business with long-term shareholder interest:

NEO	No. of 2024 PSUs
Jorge Ganoza Durant, President & CEO		285,859
Luis Ganoza Durant, CFO		110,239
David Whittle, COO, West Africa		100,591
Cesar Velasco, COO, Latin America		91,938
Eric Chapman, Senior VP, Technical Services		67,624

The 2024 PSUs are subject to the following time-vesting metrics:

Vesting/Payout Date	Amount Vested
12 months from grant		20	%
24 months from grant		30	%
36 months from grant		50	%

and to a multiplier ranging from 50% to 200% depending on the achievement level of certain performance targets. The corporate performance metrics are set out below.

2024 PSUs - Corporate Performance Objectives

Relative Total Shareholder Return (Weight: 50%) Rolling 3-year TSR against Performance Peer Group
Performance Level	TSR Percentile Ranking vs. Peer Group	Multiplier1
Below Threshold	Below 25th Percentile	0%
Threshold	25th Percentile	50%
Target	50th Percentile	100%
Maximum	75th Percentile or above	200%
Note:

1. If the TSR is negative, the amount of the payout is capped at 100%. Multiplier for TSR performance between performance levels will be calculated on a pro-rata basis.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Statement of Executive Compensation Page | A-20

Growth (Weight:  50%)
Vesting	Growth Objective	Minimum1 (Multiplier=50%)	Target (Multiplier=100%)	Maximum2 (Multiplier=200%)
Year 1 (2025) 3	Balance depletion & growth through Exploration & M&A	By the end of 2024, decrease the 2021 global gold equivalent inventory by 20%	By the end of 2024,  achieve net zero change to 2021 global gold equivalent inventory	By the end of 2024, increase the 2021 global gold equivalent inventory by 10%
Year 2 (2026)	Project development	By the end of 2025, complete a pre-feasibility study on a new project	By the end of 2025, bring a new project to development stage	By the end of 2025, start construction on a new project or acquire a second project
Year 3 (2027) 3	Annual production	By the end of 2026, have an annual production over 300k oz Au Eq	By the end of 2026, project a floor of 400k oz Au Eq annual production	By the end of 2026, project annual production over 500k oz Au Eq

Notes:

1. Multiplier for results below Minimum equals Nil.

2. Multiplier ≥ 100% payable as long as Fortuna’s rolling 3-year TSR ≥ 100% at each vesting period.

3. Multiplier greater or less than 100% will be calculated pro-rated based on limits corresponding to the following performance ranges:

Performance Level	Multiplier (v.2025)
20% decrease (5.0 Moz)		50	%
10% decrease (5.7 Moz)		75	%
Net zero change to 2021 Au Eq inventory (6.3M oz – 7.0M oz)		100	%
5% increase (7.4 Moz)		150	%
10% increase (7.7 Moz or more)		200	%

First Tranche Vesting of 2024 PSUs for Fiscal 2024 Performance

The corporate achievement results for 2024 are as follows:

Corporate Performance Objective	2024 Result / Achievement Percentage		Weighting	2024 PSU Performance Multiplier
Relative Total Shareholder Return vs. peer group	P47 (Rolling 3-year TSR against Performance Peer Group below 25th Percentile)	94%	50%	47%
Growth: Balance depletion & growth through exploration and M&A	Net zero change to 2021 global gold inventory	100%	50%	50%
			100%	97%

Based on the 97% achievement of the corporate performance targets for 2024, the number of Common Shares issued on the vesting of the first tranche of the 2024 PSUs represents a reduction from 20% to 19.4% of the PSUs eligible to be vested. Therefore, on March 10, 2025, a total of 127,311 Common Shares were issued to NEOs for the first tranche of the 2024 PSUs eligible for vesting, and 3,940 PSUs were forfeited, as follows:

Growth Metrics

The Compensation Committee has evaluated the Company’s relative performance of various key business growth metrics including revenue, adjusted EBITDA⁸and gold equivalent⁹ production. As illustrated in the table below, these metrics reflect the Company’s continuous business growth over the past five years.

8 See Note 3 on page A-2 above.

9 Gold equivalent includes gold, silver, lead and zinc and is calculated using the following metal prices and ratios:

2020: $1,805/oz Au, $21.18/oz Ag, $1,830/t Pb, $2,271/t Zn; or Au:Ag = 1:85.22, Au:Pb = 1:0.99, Au:Zn = 1:0.79

2021: $1,783/oz Au, $25.80/oz Ag, $2,205/t Pb, $2,998/t Zn; or Au:Ag = 1:69.11, Au:Pb = 1:0.81, Au:Zn = 1:0.59

2022: $1,802/oz Au, $21.75/oz Ag, $2,161/t Pb, $3,468/t Zn; or Au:Ag = 1:82.89, Au:Pb = 1:0.83, Au:Zn = 1:0.52

2023: $1,948/oz Au, $23.37/oz Ag, $2,155/t Pb, $2,706/t Zn; or Au:Ag = 1:83.38, Au:Pb = 1:0.90, Au:Zn = 1:0.72

2024: $2,401/oz Au, $28.04/oz Ag, $2,072/t Pb, $2,786/t Zn; or Au:Ag = 1:85.6, Au:Pb = 1:1.16, Au:Zn = 1:0.86

Relative Performance – Growth Metrics versus Peers

The Compensation Committee has evaluated the Company’s relative performance of various key business growth metrics including EBITDA¹⁰, revenue and gold production. As illustrated below, the Company’s performance in 2024 resulted in a ranking above average in all metrics, and exceptional performance in all metrics over the five year period.

Total Shareholder Return

The following graph compares the total cumulative shareholder return over the past five fiscal years, for $100 invested in Common Shares at the beginning of the period with the cumulative total return of the S&P / TSX Composite Index and the S&P / TSX Global Mining Index. With the construction of the Lindero Mine and the first production of gold at the mine in October 2020, the completion of the Roxgold Acquisition in 2021 which included the gold producing Yaramoko Mine, the commencement of gold production at the Séguéla Mine in 2023, and record gold and gold equivalent¹¹ production and record sales in 2024, the Company’s share price performance may be increasingly influenced by the price of gold. The performance of the Company’s Common Shares set out below does not necessarily reflect future price performance.

The Company has experienced significant and steady operational growth over the past five years, evolving to its current position as a global intermediate gold and silver producer. Significant accomplishments during the past several years include the construction of and commencement of commercial production at the Lindero Mine in Argentina and the Séguéla Mine in Côte d’Ivoire, and the expansion in 2023 to Senegal with the acquisition of the Diamba Sud gold project. In April 2025, the Company successfully sold its San Jose mine in Mexico as it approached the end of its life of mine, and the Company signed an agreement to sell its Yaramoko mine in Burkina Faso at a time when its remaining life of mine is limited and the business climate in Burkina Faso is increasingly challenging. The Yaramoko sale will be a prudent exit that optimizes value and provides the Company with additional liquidity to pursue opportunities more closely assigned with its strategic objectives.

In order to support the Company’s practice of managing costs during fluctuating market conditions, annual base salaries of our senior executives for 2020 were unchanged from 2019, and in 2021 were increased by 3%, other than a 23% increase to the annual base salary of our Senior VP, Technical Services to align with benchmark source. In 2022, annual base salaries of the CEO and CFO increased 8% and 18%, respectively, to better align with our peers, and in 2023, the NEOs received 4% cost-of-living increases to their base salaries. In 2024, NEOs’ base salaries remained unchanged or slightly increased over their 2023 levels.

Management Contracts / Termination and Change of Control Benefits

The Company has entered into employment agreements with each of its current NEOs, all of which include change of control provisions. The change of control provisions recognize that the NEO is integral to the operation and continued development of the Company and therefore requires protection from disruption of his employment in the event of a change of control of the Company. In addition, all employment agreements with its current NEOs provide that on termination without cause, any outstanding stock options or RSUs will vest on a pro-rated basis. This is consistent with the direction of market practice and governance best practices. PSUs do not vest on termination except in the event of a change of control.

The employment agreements also provide that if, as a result of a change of control of the Company, the NEO is terminated or the change of control results in a reduction in his level of authority, responsibility, title or reporting relationship, a reduction in certain components of his compensation, or a change of his primary work location, then he will be entitled to severance pay.

A description of each employment agreement is set out below.

Director Compensation

Up until 2009, the non-executive Directors of the Company were primarily compensated by way of directors’ fees and stock options. In 2010, the Company commenced granting DSUs (described below) to the non-executive directors, and since 2013, ceased the granting of stock options to such directors.

Deferred Share Unit Plan

The Board, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, established a Deferred Share Unit Plan (the “DSU Plan”) the purposes of which are to promote a greater alignment of interests between non-executive Directors and the shareholders of the Company; and to provide a compensation system for non-executive Directors that, together with any other compensation mechanisms of the Company, reflects the responsibility, commitment and risk accompanying Board membership.

The Board may award such number of DSUs to an eligible Director to provide appropriate equity-based compensation for the services he or she renders to the Company. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, DSUs vest immediately and a Director’s entitlement to payment of such DSUs is not subject to satisfaction of any requirements as to any minimum period of membership on the Board.

DSUs are paid in cash and, other than as described below, only upon termination, which is deemed to occur on the earliest of (i) the date of voluntary resignation or retirement of the Director from the Board; (ii) the date of death of the Director; or (iii) the date of removal of the Director from the Board whether by shareholder resolution, failure to achieve re-election or otherwise; and on which date the Director is not an employee of the Company or any of its affiliates.

Notwithstanding any vesting conditions that the Board may have established in respect of a grant of DSU, upon the occurrence of a change of control, all outstanding DSUs will become fully vested. The aggregate number of DSUs outstanding pursuant to the DSU Plan must not exceed 1% of the number of issued Common Shares in the Company outstanding from time to time.

In 2024, the Board approved a maximum grant value of CAD$94,000 for DSUs to each of its non-executive directors and CAD$120,000 to its non-executive Chairman of the Board. Except for Ms. Harcourt and Ms. Seetaroo, who were appointed to the Board on July 2, 2021 and June 27, 2022 respectively, each such director had achieved the share ownership guidelines and accordingly was provided with the right to elect to receive up to 50% of their DSU value in the form of an immediate cash payment, with the balance in DSUs. Details of the DSU grant values and cash payments are set out in the table on page A-33.

APPENDIX “A” – Board Mandate

Commitment to Responsible Mining

Fortuna sees sustainability as the creation of long-term economic, social, and environmental value for our stakeholders. This understanding has led us to make a fundamental commitment to integrate sustainability into our governance, business strategy, organizational culture and day-to-day operations.

2024 Highlights

In terms of governance performance for 2024, key highlights include:

· Safe Working Environment: This year, we continued our journey towards “Zero Harm”, strengthening our safety systems, and achieving our key goal of zero fatalities. We advanced several key zero harm initiatives including implementing a leadership training program, a critical risk management (“CRM”) program which included the completion and development of 15 CRM standards. The Company’s safety performance improved in 2024. (See page B-2)

· GISTM: The Company continues to progress with its five-year plan to adopt the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (“GISTM”) and achieve compliance for all company owned tailings storage facilities by the end of 2027, with the aim of enabling more informed decisions that prioritize public safety and minimize long-term liability. Progress in 2024 included the Independent Tailings Review Board (ITRB) reviewing operational tailings storage facilities (“TSFs”) performance and completing site visits at all our operations, as well as reviewing TSF design, risk management and impact management for any active or closed TSFs. (See page B-4)

· Climate Change: Since setting our greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions target in early 2024, the Company has made significant advancements in its efforts to address climate-change related risks, including:

o it has progressed on all four of its key GHG emissions reduction initiatives with the intention of having them all implemented in 2025 as envisioned.

o it commissioned a third-party assessment to evaluate climate change impacts on probable maximum precipitation and water management infrastructure at our mine sites. (See page B-5)

· Materiality Risk Assessment: In 2024, we conducted a comprehensive review of our materiality assessment process, with an emphasis on financially material sustainability topics that are reasonably likely to impact the financial performance and long-term enterprise value of the Company. (See page B-13).

· Sustainability Report: In May 2024, we published our sixth annual Sustainability Report, prepared in accordance with Sustainability Accounting Standards Board Standards (“SASB Standards”), and in reference to Global Reporting Initiative Standards (“GRI Standards”). Our climate-related disclosure is aligned with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”). We anticipate publishing our seventh Sustainability Report for the year ended December 31, 2024 in the second quarter of 2025. (See page B-11)

Health and Safety

Prioritizing health and safety fosters a culture of responsibility and care within an organization. Implementing safety protocols, regular training sessions, and thorough risk assessments not only protect workers but also enhance productivity and morale. Workforce health and safety is a core pillar of our Sustainability Framework. Our corporate approach to workforce health and safety is built on a robust risk management framework, guided by three principles to achieve our Zero Harm aspiration and operational excellence: competent people, consistent systems and processes, and reliable assets and equipment.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Corporate Governance Page | B-1

Key initiatives in 2024 included:

· Zero Harm Leadership Program: Training program for all our employees to raise awareness on risk management and promote leadership and safe behaviours on the field. This multi-year program aims to train all our employees by the end of 2026. In addition, we continuously develop our employees' competencies through technical training programs focused on the knowledge and skills needed to work safely, particularly in managing critical risks.

· CRM Standards: The completion and development of 15 CRM standards designed to eliminate fatal incidents in our operations. We also continued implementing these standards across all our mining operations. These standards mandate compulsory critical controls for all operations and include regular in-field monitoring processes (audits and inspections), as well as site awareness and training programs for our employees. In addition to these technical standards, we have advanced the development of a set of twenty-five corporate management standards to ensure that our activities are conducted in alignment with current best practices in the industry.

· Health and Safety Audit: To ensure the effective implementation of our Health and Safety Standards, a Corporate audit plan was carried out in all subsidiaries in 2024 to assess their application level in the field. This allows us to identify areas where additional efforts are needed, adapt our programs, and track progress over time, creating a mindset of continuous improvement and better safety in the workplace.

In 2024, we maintained a strong health and safety performance with total recordable injury frequency rate (“TRIFR”) at 1.36 and lost time injury frequency rate (“LTIFR”) at 0.48 per million hours worked for a total of 14.7 million hours including contractors. The Company’s TRIFR performance has improved by more than 100% since 2021, when it had a TRIFR of over 3 at the time.

Environmental, Social and Governance Obligations

Our Board is committed to continuing to focus on providing effective oversight of the Company’s material risks. It is committed to ensuring that environment, social and governance (“ESG”) factors, including climate change (See “Climate Change Initiatives Undertaken in 2024” on page B-5), occupational health and safety, tailings management (See “GISTM Initiatives Undertaken in 2024” on page B-4) and human rights are integrated into the Company’s governance strategy and enterprise risk management processes. In 2024, ESG metrics accounted for 30% of our short-term incentive plan metrics for senior executives (see Circular Schedule “A” - Statement of Executive Compensation page A-12). The Company has created a sustainability committee (the “Sustainability Committee”) to assist in fulfilling our health, safety security, environmental, sustainable development and social responsibility objectives and obligations. Our vision is to be valued by our stakeholders as a sustainable company and a leader in the precious metals industry. Our mission is to create sustainable value through growth of our mineral reserves, metal production and the efficient operation of our assets, while remaining firmly committed to safety, good governance, and social and environmental responsibility.

Five out of eight of the Company’s Directors have safety, sustainability and ESG expertise, defined as a demonstrable understanding of key sustainability impacts for a mining company in multiple jurisdictions, including climate change risks and opportunities, workplace health and safety, social performance, license to operate, community engagement and development, human rights, and governance of these matters. The Board has overall oversight on ESG related matters and receives quarterly reports on ESG from an external consultant to ensure they remain up to date on the evolutions in the ESG landscape, including on regulatory and market expectations. The Sustainability Committee in turn works directly with management on ESG issues. In addition, all Directors have human capital management expertise, defined as knowledge of sustained succession planning and talent development and retention programs, including executive compensation. All Directors also have corporate governance expertise, defined as an understanding of the fiduciary, legal and ethical responsibilities of the Board, particularly issues surrounding conflicts of interest, corporate opportunity, and insider trading.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Corporate Governance Page | B-2

In 2024, we conducted a comprehensive review of our ESG materiality assessment process which included input from Management, the Board and external stakeholders, with an emphasis on financially material sustainability topics that are reasonably likely to impact the financial performance and long-term enterprise value of Fortuna if not managed adequately. Greater emphasis was placed on ensuring a clear identification of risks and opportunities, in alignment with the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards, which incorporate the SASB Standards and TCFD recommendations. The results will be used to establish an enhanced approach to ESG for integration into our corporate strategy, governance, metrics and targets, risk management and reporting.

The Company’s Senior Vice-President Sustainability (“SVP Sustainability”) has accountability for ESG and sustainability at the executive leadership team level and reports directly to the CEO. The role of the SVP Sustainability is to lead the Company’s sustainability and ESG strategy development and implementation to maintain the value of our mineral assets and improve the long-lasting quality of the Company’s operations while meeting key stakeholder expectations. In particular, the SVP Sustainability is responsible for tailings facility safety and for climate-related risks and opportunities management.

The SVP Sustainability is supported by the Corporate Director of Health, Safety, Environment and Community (“HSEC”),the Corporate Director of Geotechnical, Tailings and Water, and the Corporate Manager Climate Change and ESG Data and Sustainability. Directors of Sustainability for each of Latin America and West Africa assist the SVP Sustainability on ESG and sustainability matters at the regional level, and they participate in the development, implementation, and updating of our Sustainability Framework, including corporate policies, standards, manuals and guidelines, management systems, training and reporting on ESG and sustainability.

The Company’s Health and Safety, Security, Environment and Community Committee (“HSSEC”) Corporate Committee comprising members of management meets quarterly to assist the Company’s senior management in achieving its governance and management objectives in the areas of health, safety, security, environment and the community relations. The responsibilities of the HSSEC Corporate Committee are to:

· Ensure alignment of corporate sustainability policies, framework, standards, goals and work plans throughout Fortuna and its subsidiaries.

· Make recommendations to ensure the effective implementation of the corporate sustainability policies, framework, standards, goals, and work plans at operational level.

· Review health, safety, security, environment and community management programs and their performance.

· Propose measures to improve the effectiveness of the HSSEC management.

· Ensure best practices and successful initiatives are shared at all sites.

We have also established Regional HSSEC Committees in Latin America and West Africa. The Committees convene monthly and are led by their respective Chief Operating Officers and comprise mainly of the Vice President for Operations and/or the heads of each country or operation, and the Directors of Sustainability. Each committee is also assisted by the Corporate Director, Health, Safety and Environment and Community.

At each operating site, there is a structure or a committee responsible for health, safety, environment and/or sustainability factors. Each subsidiary undertakes a monthly operational and sustainability review, led at the Corporate level. Our subsidiary management participates in reviewing operational progress, sustainability data, and performance compared to operational and Sustainability Plan key performance indicators (“KPI”)s and targets. Quarterly reports on ESG trends are also sent to the Executive Leadership and Management Leadership teams to ensure they remain knowledgeable on the evolution of ESG related matters.

The Company’s ESG and sustainability governance and management oversight structure is set out below:

GISTM Initiatives Undertaken in 2024

On December 21, 2022, the Company published its GISTM position statement (“GISTM Position Statement”), which articulates Fortuna’s approach to tailings management along with its implementation commitments. The objective is to improve the Company’s existing tailings standards which is based on the standards of the Canadian Dam Association (“CDA”) and the Australian National Committee on Large Dams, and use GISTM to guide the adaptation to a broader tailings management. Under this refined tailings management approach, the Company has committed to adopt GISTM and achieve compliance to applicable GISTM requirements for all new TSFs during their first year of operation. The Company will continue to conduct the necessary studies to assess and fulfill GISTM applicable requirements for all existing TSFs owned and operated by the Company, in order to implement the standards and ensure compliance of all applicable requirements of GISTM for all Company owned TSFs by the end of 2027.

A five-year plan has been created to develop the management system and tools needed to implement GISTM, and at the same time ensure its progressive and effective application in the field. Over the last two years, the Company

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Corporate Governance Page | B-4

has updated its TSF Technical Standard, initially based on the CDA, and developed two additional standards to support the implementation of GISTM, being our TSF Governance Standard and our TSF Social Standard.

During 2024, the Company completed the following as part of its implementation of GISTM:

· Increased its compliance under GISTM to 75 percent complete.

· The Independent Tailings Review Board (“ITRB”) visited each of our mine sites and reviewed the design of the TSFs, risk management and operational performance.

· Conducted third party dam safety reviews for applicable active TSFs..

· Updated the Company’s policies and sustainability-relevant standards, systems, and practices to enhance it’s commitment to safe tailings management and GISTM guidance..

In 2025, the Company intends to continue to conduct necessary studies to assess and fulfill GISTM applicable requirements for all TSFs owned and operated by Fortuna by the end of 2027.

Climate Change Initiatives Undertaken in 2024

Fortuna’s approach to climate is governed by two key ESG related documents which have been approved by the Board: our Environmental Policy, which articulates our key environmental commitments, and our climate change position statement (the “CC Position Statement”), which was published on April 7, 2022, and which articulates our approach to climate change and our key climate related commitments.

We recognize that climate change is a major global challenge that could have near term significant impacts on operations, host communities, resources used in production, the economy and society in general. Climate change is a systemic risk with the potential to affect our mine infrastructure and operations, the regulatory frameworks under which we operate and the demand for the minerals we produce.

We recognize the current climate change science and support the goals of the Paris Agreement and the recommendations of the TCFD. The Company is committed to analyzing the risks and opportunities of climate change on our business activities, to integrating climate change factors into our long-term strategic planning, and developing short-term tactical climate change action plans. Our approach to climate change management is guided by three key pillars, which align to the climate change factors that were identified in a Climate Change Materiality Assessment as having the greatest potential to influence the Company’s value: (1) reduce GHG emissions by promoting resource efficiency and increasing the use of renewable energy sources; (2) build resilience to the physical risks of climate change at our operations and projects; and (3) continuously improve the performance of our governance and climate change action plans based on climate change science, regulatory and voluntary frameworks and international standards.

The Company’s climate change governance is supported by a robust framework that incorporates climate change factors into decision-making, including Board oversight and senior management accountability which is reflected as follows:

· The Sustainability Committee has oversight of climate change factors.

· The SVP Sustainability is accountable for identifying, assessing, managing and reporting on climate change factors to senior management and the Board on a regular basis.

· Our Country Heads have responsibility for managing climate change risks and opportunities at the local and site level.

The Company is committed to enhancing the integration of climate-related risks into its enterprise risk management processes to ensure that the unique nature of climate-related risks is appropriately considered and prioritized. The Company will identify and assess climate-related risks and opportunities over the short, medium, and long term, and develop climate change action plans at the corporate level and at site level, based on risk and opportunity assessments.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Corporate Governance Page | B-5

In early 2024, we disclosed our GHG emissions reduction target. The Company set a target to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 15% by 2030, compared to “business as usual” forecast GHG emissions in 2030 if no intervention measures were taken.

The Company is also committed to supporting the global ambition of net-zero GHG emissions by 2050 through investing in technology, energy efficiency initiatives, and renewable energy over the long-term, where such investments are reliable, affordable, and competitive.

In 2024, we implemented a range of company-wide and site-specific initiatives to reduce climate risks and leverage opportunities, in line with our three-pillar strategic framework:

1. Reducing GHG Emissions:

· The Caylloma Mine is using electricity from 100 percent renewable energy sources.

· At the Caylloma Mine, the construction of a new cyclone – paste fill plant was advanced to 85 percent, with completion expected by mid-2025. The purpose of the plant is to separate fine and coarse tailings. Coarse tailings will be pumped to the top of the mine area, which will then be used to backfill underground mine workings. Fine tailings will be sent to a tailings storage facility.

· At the Lindero Mine, the construction of the solar plant started with a project progress at 44 percent as of the end of 2024, with completion and operation expected in the third quarter of 2025.

· At the Séguéla Mine, the contract for the construction of the solar plant was signed in 2024. Construction is expected to start in 2025 with commissioning anticipated before the end of the year.

2. Building Resilience to Physical Risks:

· Building on our 2023 climate scenario analysis concerning physical climate-related risks, Fortuna commissioned a third-party assessment in 2024 to evaluate climate change impacts on probable maximum precipitation (“PMP”) and water management infrastructure at our mine sites. Using general circulation models, which are widely used for weather forecasting and simulating climate systems, the study compared future climate projections with historical data to evaluate if the current design of our infrastructure would be resilient in the face of potential future impacts. Findings indicate temperature increases across all sites both in the near-future (2030–2060) and far-future (2060–2100), leading to higher evaporation rates and more intense precipitation events. Rainfall patterns will vary, the Yaramoko Mine expecting slight increases, while the Séguéla and Lindero mines may experience slight declines in total annual precipitation. Seasonal variability is also expected to intensify, resulting in more extreme rainfall during specific months. From this study, it appears that all our current water dams and tailings infrastructures are compliant with the potential change in PMP. Other studies will be conducted to ensure that other critical infrastructures such as processing plants, underground mines and open pits are well protected against future extreme weather events.

3. Improving Governance and Action Plans:

· In 2024, in order to strengthen our resilience to acute and chronic climate impacts, particularly with regard to water, we implemented our corporate water management standard, which includes the implementation of water governance and management systems at the site level (see section on Water Management).

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Corporate Governance Page | B-6

· To adapt our governance and action plans, we monitor the climate change regulatory and voluntary frameworks and standards to adapt our strategy and management accordingly. It includes a quarterly review of the national and international ESG landscape. We also monitor emerging technologies to capitalize on cost-effective opportunities that enhance our efforts, in particular the development of electric heavy vehicles adapted to the size and characteristic of our mining operations.

In 2025, the Company intends to focus on the following key climate-related initiatives:

· Complete the construction of all our key projects with the aim of reducing our GHG Emissions according to our formal commitment.

· Monitor progress on GHG emissions reduction and report according to required standard. We will track the implementation and impact of our four priority projects aimed at reducing emissions.

· Finalize and start the implementation of a new corporate standard on energy efficiency and GHG emissions management. This standard will ensure consistent practices across our operations to drive continuous improvement in energy efficiency and GHG emissions reduction by identifying initiatives and opportunities to further reduce energy consumption and GHG emissions.

· We will continue to monitor evolving regulatory requirements to ensure our climate strategies and disclosures remain aligned with regulators and investor expectations.

Water Stewardship

We have developed policies and standards to support effective water management. In our Environmental Policy, we commit to protect water sources, reduce water use, recycle, and reuse wastewater wherever possible and ensure water effluents are minimized and discharged according to regulatory requirements. This requires the Company to actively engage with governments, local authorities, local communities, and other stakeholders on external water governance issues to support sustainable, consistent, and effective measures that underpin integrated water resource management. Our Community Relations Policy and our Human Rights Policy are company-wide policies that articulate a commitment to respecting the human rights of all individuals impacted by our operations, including employees, contractors, the communities in which we operate, and other external stakeholders. The Human Rights Policy includes a specific commitment of the Company to respect the right to water, among other important rights. In 2024, the Company introduced a Watershed Stakeholder Engagement Plan (“WSEP”) Framework to guide the development of site-specific plans in line with GISTM requirements. This included a recommended WSEP template outlining key engagement activities related to water, watershed, and TSF management that must be carried out at each stage of a project.

The Sustainability Committee provides oversight of water management, and the SVP Sustainability has Executive-level responsibility for water management and is the Accountable Executive for TSFs as per GISTM, which is closely related to water management. At the Corporate level, the Corporate Director, Geotechnical, Tailings and Water leads the development and the implementation of the Company’s tailings and water management standards and programs to ensure the compliance and performance of our sites’ operations regarding the applicable management practices. In addition, the HSSEC Corporate Committee ensures the alignment of subsidiary-level environmental initiatives, including water management. At the regional and site level, there are HSSEC or equivalent committees responsible for all areas of sustainability applicable to the business, including water management.

Fortuna assesses each site’s water needs using a risk-based approach considering the local social environment and climatic conditions to develop operational water balance and management plans. Fortuna has placed particular focus on managing water use in regions facing challenges of high-water stress. At our TSFs, water management plans optimize water consumption and recycling, with an emphasis on closed water management circuits to eliminate or reduce the need to discharge effluent water from our process plants or TSFs. Our water management plans also include participatory monitoring with local authorities and communities to identify discharges that could impact water quality or other concerns of our stakeholders.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Corporate Governance Page | B-7

To ensure oversight and internal control of the use of water in our operations, we have set-up indicators to monitor water use and a specific KPIs target related to the freshwater consumed per tonne of processed ore which is monitored and reported to management at the Corporate level each month. Performance against this target is also reported to the Sustainability Committee and the HSSEC Corporate Committee on a quarterly basis.

Biodiversity

The Sustainability Committee provides oversight of biodiversity, and the SVP Sustainability has Executive-level responsibility for biodiversity. The HSSEC Corporate Committee ensures the alignment of subsidiary-level environmental initiatives, including biodiversity, through the Sustainability Framework. Each operating mine has a health, safety, security and environment committee responsible for environmental factors, including biodiversity.

Our biodiversity management seeks to comply with the national regulations of our host countries and is based on international best practices – including the guidelines provided by IFC Performance Standard 6 on biodiversity conservation and sustainable management of living natural resources, as well as emerging concerns outlined by the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures. Biodiversity impacts are considered from early on in our project development lifecycle by ensuring biodiversity impact assessment and management plans are integrated in initial environmental and social impact assessments. These management plans are then implemented and regularly updated during the operational phase of the resulting mines, with biodiversity issues also further addressed in mine closure plans to cover the post-operations phases of our assets’ lifecycles.

We monitor plant and animal species included in the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species and local regulations, where applicable.

Environment

The Company is committed to ensuring that the highest possible standards of environmental management are followed in all areas of our business activities. Environment is one of Fortuna’s core values and is a pillar of our Sustainability Framework. Our Environmental Policy aims to prevent, avoid, minimize, mitigate, and, when appropriate, offset our negative impacts on ecosystems, and to proactively manage environmental risks associated with our activities, with the primary goal of attaining zero harm.

All phases of the Company’s operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which it operates, in addition to our policy and standards. These environmental regulations provide directives and standards to avoid and/or limit spills, releases and emission of various substances related to industrial mining operations that could result in environmental contamination.

The Company conducts regular environmental risk assessments of its operations. The overall objective is to assess key environmental risks and their associated controls and to assess regulatory compliance. Environmental statistics are collected from each of our operations on a monthly basis. To the best of management’s knowledge, the Company complies in all material respects with all environmental laws and regulations applicable to its exploration, development, construction and operating activities, including the renewal of environmental permits where applicable. Targets for environmental management KPIs are set each year and were also one of the factors used in determining management compensation.

In terms of performance, the Company’s environmental management highlights for 2024 are:

· Zero significant environmental spills

· Zero incidents of non-compliance with water quality permits, standards and regulations.

· GHG emissions intensity per thousand tonnes of processed ore of 18.01 tCO₂eq/kt in 2024 compared to the target set for 2024 of 20.67 tCO₂eq/kt ore.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Corporate Governance Page | B-8

· Freshwater consumption intensity per ton of processed ore of 0.23 m³/t in 2024 compared to the target set for 2024 of 0.25 m³/t.

Sustainability Site Initiatives Undertaken in 2024

Examples of sustainability initiatives undertaken in 2024 by our operations in Latin America and West Africa include:

Lindero Mine (Argentina)

Virtual University Centre of Tolar Grande: The rural communities in the area around the Lindero Mine, face a large digital divide that makes it difficult to access new academic and professional opportunities. Due to these limitations, many young people are forced to migrate to large urban centers to continue their studies, which implies a high economic and social cost, in addition to the loss of ties with their community. Mansfield Minera, in collaboration with various local groups, decided to create a solution that would allow the residents of the region to access higher education without having to leave their homes, by creating the Virtual University Center (CUV) of Tolar Grande. This initiative has allowed young people in the region to access university degrees at a distance, without the costs and difficulties associated with migrating to the big cities of Argentina. The CUV promotes access to undergraduate courses, and is the first project of its kind in the Puna region. The program seeks to provide education to local students over a period of 7 years, with the aim of strengthening the community through education.

Caylloma Mine (Peru)

Education Program: promoting quality education and development in the District of Caylloma. At the end of 2023, Minera Bateas undertook a study to identify the educational needs of the main schools in the district. This study involved the participation of students, parents, teachers, directors of educational institutions and the director of the Local Education Management Unit (an agency of the Ministry of Education). Among the main findings of the study, it was identified that deficiencies in the quality of education affect the integral development of students and their future opportunities. This problem manifests itself in various aspects, such as school infrastructure in poor condition, lack of adequate teacher training, insufficient school meals, limited artistic and sporting activities, restricted access to higher education and inadequate parental involvement in the educational process. To address these challenges, Minera Bateas developed the “Education 360” program, a comprehensive initiative aimed at improving both the academic aspects and the social well-being of students, with the aim of promoting a more equitable and sustainable educational development. The program included various initiatives, such as the improvement of educational infrastructure, improved teacher training, improved food at schools, the promotion of cultural skills, and the creation of opportunities for higher education. Results included:

· 100% of primary and secondary educational institutions have high-quality internet access.

· 534 students participated.

· 38 teachers completed a Diploma to improve their skills in emerging technologies.

· 100% of the district's educational institutions (pre-school, primary and secondary) receive a financial subsidy to complement and improve the service of the national food program “Qaliwarma”.

· 67 students participated in extracurricular workshops focused on the development of artistic skills, such as theater and music, taught by teachers hired by Minera Bateas.

· 208 young people received academic preparation to sit the entrance exams for the National University of San Agustín de Arequipa in 2025.

· 16 young women received scholarships to study degrees related to the mining sector at CETEMIN.

Yaramoko Mine (Burkina Faso)

Yaramoko Conservation Zone: The Company has established a 120-hectare fenced conservation zone to mitigate the impacts of the Mine and to promote the flora and fauna in the mine's operating and surrounding areas.

The Yaramoko conservation zone has become one of the most important ecological niches in the region, and has been recognized by national environmental authorities. The implementation of this initiative has enabled the Company to meet its environmental commitments while providing socio-economic opportunities for local communities, such as timber and non-timber forest product collection, medicinal plant sourcing for traditional healers, and honey production.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Corporate Governance Page | B-9

Since the project's inception, a total of 870 snakes have been successfully translocated. The local beekeepers' association produces more than 200 liters of honey annually, generating 800,000 CFA francs (approximately US$1,455) per year, with total earnings for the community exceeding 7.2 million CFA francs (US$13,090).

The conservation zone currently supports more than 217 plant species per hectare, and is home to 15 mammal species, 16 reptile species, and 91 bird species, compared to just 8 mammal species, 36 bird species, and fewer than 10 reptile species in 2017.

Séguéla Mine (Côte d’Ivoire)

Books Boxes Program: fostering literacy and quality education. School enrollment rates in the area surrounding the Mine are low, and the lack of children’s access to books and educational resources has also contributed to the low literacy rates in the area. In recognition of this issue, Roxgold Sango is attempting to make books accessible to all children. It has launched the “Our Books Boxes” project with the aim of the installation of libraries in primary schools across the region. It is intended that these libraries will be equipped with a wide range of books, giving children access to resources that were previously unavailable to them. In addition, the Company has established reading clubs in schools to encourage students to engage in literature and develop a love of reading. These clubs have become an integral part of the school experience, motivating children to read regularly and even rewarding the best readers with prizes, creating a sense of achievement and excitement around learning. The results of the program include:

· Over 1,300 students across the region gained free access to books.

· Three reading clubs were set up in primary schools, providing a structured space for students to read and discuss books with their peers. Students regularly borrow books from the libraries—up to 150 books per week.

· The program not only sparked interest in reading but also helped improve literacy levels, providing children with the skills they needed to succeed both academically and later in life.

Metrics and Targets

The Company identifies key performance indicators and targets where relevant to allow Fortuna to monitor and report on its performance in relation to sustainability related risks and opportunities. This includes monitoring the progress towards any targets the entity has set, and any targets required to be met by law or regulation. At Fortuna, the following key elements underpin our approach to metrics and targets:

· Alignment with Governance, Sustainability Strategy and Risk Management. Metrics and targets are used to monitor against the desired outcome or result expected of the strategy and support with implementation of the sustainability strategy and ongoing monitoring and oversight of sustainability risks and opportunities.

· Metrics. Metrics are identified and monitored for each sustainability-related risk and opportunity that could reasonably be expected to affect the Company. A methodology is defined to calculate the metric and the inputs to the calculation, including the limitations of the method used and the significant assumptions made.

· Targets. Targets are set to monitor progress towards achieving the strategic goals. The setting of targets should consider: quantitative or qualitative specificity, period of measurement, period from which progress is measured, milestones and interim targets, performance against each target and an analysis of trends, revisions to the target and an explanation for those revisions where applicable.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Corporate Governance Page | B-10

Sustainability Reporting and Disclosure

The Company measures and discloses its sustainability performance using SASB Standards, the recommendations of the TCFD, and the GRI Standards.

Management provides reports on sustainability, including updates on ESG matters, and updates on sustainability key performance indicators to the Board at least on a quarterly basis through the Sustainability Committee, as well as to its HSSEC Corporate Committee.

Under the Company’s Enterprise Risk Management (“ERM”) Program, the Board receives a global corporate risk report and a formal update from the ERM department on a quarterly basis. Sustainability matters are mapped on the enterprise risk matrix. (See “Enterprise Risk Management” on page B-13).

In addition, each operating subsidiary provides a report on its sustainability performance as part of its monthly production review, including progress toward operational KPIs corresponding to each of the six sustainability pillars.

On May 30, 2024, the Company announced the release of its sixth annual sustainability report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Sustainability Report”), which is available on its website in English, Spanish and French. The 2023 Sustainability Report details the Company´s performance on key ESG indicators during 2023. The 2023 Sustainability Report highlights Fortuna´s sustainability management and initiatives at each operating mine as well as our contributions within our host countries. The 2023 Sustainability Report also includes a dedicated ESG data section containing disclosure under SASB Metals and Mining Standard, the TCFD Recommendations, and the GRI standard.

We anticipate publishing our seventh sustainability report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 in the second quarter of 2025.

For reporting and disclosure of water management (See “Water Management” on page B-7), we strive to align our disclosure to industry leading sustainability reporting frameworks such as SASB, Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) with its water security questionnaire, GRI Standards and other recognized frameworks as needed.

We provide annual disclosure on biodiversity (See “Biodiversity” on page B-8) through our sustainability reports with industry leading sustainability reporting frameworks such as the SASB Standards and the GRI Standards.

We seek to align our climate change disclosure (See “Climate Change Initiatives Taken in 2024” on page B-5) with leading sustainability reporting frameworks. In 2020, we started aligning our climate change disclosure with the TCFD recommendations and the SASB Metals & Mining Standard. The sustainability disclosure landscape has been evolving significantly over the past few years, notably through the establishment of the International Sustainability Standards Board (“ISSB”) and the ISSB’s issuance of the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards S1 and S2. We are committed to monitoring the evolving disclosure landscape, including evolving regulatory requirements. Our disclosures will evolve over time as we continue to take action on climate change.

ESG Corporate Policies

The Company reviews its corporate governance policies with external advisors once a year, and more often in the event that changes are required or new policies are adopted. In early 2024, the Company announced its GHG emissions reduction target for 2030 and long-term objectives for 2050 (see page B-6).

Copies of the corporate policies, frameworks and position statements can be found on the Company's website.

Information / Cyber Security

The Company has established and continues to enhance security controls to protect its information systems and infrastructure. Our goal is to ensure adequate protection of our information assets in accordance with internal policies and controls, business requirements and relevant laws and regulations.

Our Board provides top level oversight of risks relating to our information security and of related policies and practices. Senior management, corporate IT security officer and our corporate Director of Information Technology are responsible for establishing, implementing and maintaining corporate information security policies and standards.

Our business units are responsible for ensuring the implementation of controls and protocols within their respective jurisdictions, led by local IT staff. The senior management team, IT staff, local site management and all personnel are collectively responsible to ensure protection mechanisms are being utilized and followed to prevent unauthorized access to our information systems. Each user of our information systems is responsible for complying with the controls and policies that we establish, and for reporting any potential information security incidents of which they are aware.

We engage in ongoing cybersecurity awareness training including phishing simulation campaigns to develop information security skills for all employees.

Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices

Pursuant to National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices ("NI 58-101"), the Company is required to and hereby discloses its corporate governance practices as follows.

Board of Directors

Since February 2021, our Board has been led by an Independent Chair, David Laing, an experienced mining executive. As Chair of the Board, David also chairs the independent directors' sessions that are held at the end of every Board meeting and as may otherwise be required.

The Chairman of the Board and a majority of the Board are independent. The Board considers David Laing, David Farrell, Alfredo Sillau, Kylie Dickson, Kate Harcourt and Salma Seetaroo to be "independent" according to the definition set out in NI 58-101. Jorge Ganoza Durant is not independent as he is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mario Szotlender is not independent as he is paid a consulting fee by the Company.

All eight of the Company’s Directors have corporate governance expertise, defined as an understanding of the fiduciary, legal and ethical responsibilities of the Board, particularly issues surrounding conflicts of interest, corporate opportunity and insider trading.

The Board must comply with conflict-of-interest provisions in Canadian corporate law, including relevant securities regulatory instruments, in order to ensure that directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in respect of which a director or executive officer has a material interest. To the best of our knowledge, the Company is not aware of any existing or potential conflicts of interest between the Company or any of its directors or officers that have not been disclosed to the Board, except that some of the Directors serve as directors of other public companies. This information is listed under the profiles of our directors, where applicable, starting on page 4 of this Circular. As at the date of this Circular, no members of the Board served together on the boards (or board committees) of other public companies.

Special committees of the Board may be appointed to consider special issues from time to time and, in particular, any issues that may involve related party transactions, including as defined and in compliance with Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. A special committee of the Board may retain outside advisors at the Company’s expense in appropriate circumstances.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Corporate Governance Page | B-12

The independent directors hold meetings at the conclusion of every Board meeting and as otherwise thought fit. At these meetings, non-independent directors and members of management are not in attendance. In 2024, the independent directors met eight times.

The Board has adopted a Corporate Governance Manual which includes the Board mandate and position descriptions for the Chair and the CEO. The mandate of the Board is set out in Appendix “A” to this Schedule “B”. The Company also has written position descriptions for the Chairs of the Board committees. The quorum for meetings of the Board and its committees is a majority of the Directors or Committee members, as applicable.

Enterprise Risk Management

The Board is responsible for the Company’s overall risk oversight. The Company has an Enterprise Risk Management Program in place and maintains a central risk registry. The global risk management program was implemented to ensure consistency in how operating sites and different areas within the Company identify, assess, manage, document and report on risks. All locations follow the same methodology and assess risks (impact and probability) using Fortuna’s Enterprise Risk Matrix. The Company’s risk matrix assesses risks from an operational, financial, reputational, social, occupational health and safety and environmental perspective. The environmental component of the risk matrix includes climate change considerations to ensure proper consideration of this topic while assessing risks.

The risk program is facilitated by the corporate ERM team and consists of periodical detailed workshops within each area of the operating sites as well as quarterly interviews with site leaders and corporate function owners (e.g., Tailing Management, Technical Services, Finance, etc.). The process follows a bottom-up approach as information flows from local managers to Country Heads, Regional Leadership and Senior Management.

The results of the quarterly risk review are consolidated into a site and regional specific risk reports and distributed to local and regional management. Senior Management and the Board receive a global risk report and a formal update from the ERM department on a quarterly basis.

Audit Committee

Committee Independence:	100%

Under the supervision of the Board, the Company's Audit Committee has overall responsibility for assisting the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by reviewing the financial information to be provided to the shareholders and others, the systems of internal controls and management information systems established by management, the Company's internal and external audit process, and monitoring compliance with the Company's legal and regulatory requirements with respect to its financial statements.

In the course of fulfilling its specific responsibilities hereunder, the Audit Committee is expected to maintain an open communication between the Company's external auditors and the Board. The Audit Committee does not plan or perform audits or warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Company's financial statements or financial disclosure or compliance with generally accepted accounting procedures as these are the responsibility of management.

The Audit Committee has a written Charter which sets out its mandate and responsibilities. The Audit Committee Charter contains a provision which provides that no member of the Audit Committee shall have served as the CEO of the Company or of an affiliate, within the past five years, or as the CFO of the Company or of an affiliate, within the past three years.

Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee

Members:	David Farrell (Chair), Kylie Dickson, Salma Seetaroo
Committee Independence:	100%

Under the supervision of the Board, the Company's CG&N Committee has overall responsibility for developing the Company's approach to corporate governance including keeping informed of legal requirements and trends regarding corporate governance, monitoring and assessing the functioning of the Board and committees of the Board, and for developing, implementing and monitoring good corporate governance practices. The CG&N Committee is also responsible for identifying and recommending to the Board possible candidates for the Board as necessary, after considering the competencies and skills the Directors as a group should possess and considering the appropriate size of the Board.

The CG&N Committee is responsible for identifying individuals and recommending to the Board those qualified to become new Board members. New nominees must have a track record in general business management, experience in an area of strategic interest to the Company, the ability to devote the time required and a willingness to serve. Recommendations for nominees as appropriately submitted to the CG&N Committee will also be considered as part of the process. The Board adheres to the following process, with the input and advice of the CG&N Committee, prior to nominating or appointing individuals as directors:

· The Board determines the appropriate size of the Board, with a view to facilitating effective decision-making.

· The Board considers what competencies and skills the Board as a whole should possess. In doing so, the Board also considers the needs of each committee.

· The Board assesses what competencies and skills each existing director possesses.

· In accordance with the CG&N Committee Charter, the Board considers recommendations appropriately submitted by shareholders.

· In accordance with the Company's Board and Management Diversity Policy, the Board considers diversity when reviewing potential candidates for appointment to the Board.

Compensation Committee

Members:	David Farrell (Chair), David Laing, Alfredo Sillau
Committee Independence:	100%

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Corporate Governance Page | B-14

Sustainability Committee

Members:	David Laing (Chair), Mario Szotlender, Kate Harcourt, Salma Seetaroo
Committee Independence:	Majority

Under the supervision of the Board, the Company’s Sustainability Committee is responsible for:

· reviewing the health, safety, security, environmental, sustainable development and social responsibility policies of the Company;

· monitor the health, safety, security, environmental, sustainable development and social responsibility performance of the Company; and

· assess the effectiveness of the Company's health, safety, security, environmental, sustainable development and social responsibility policies and practices.

It also reviews reports from management on the identification, assessment and management of risks relating to health, safety, security, environmental matters and social responsibility matters and reports to the Audit Committee and the Board in respect thereof.

The Sustainability Committee has a written Charter which sets out its mandate and responsibilities. The Sustainability Committee Charter contains a provision which includes explicit mention of the Sustainability Committee’s oversight of climate change.

Board and Committee Assessments

The CG&N Committee annually assesses the effectiveness of the Board and how well it is meeting its objectives, and the performance of individual directors. In addition, each Committee conducts an annual assessment of the effectiveness of such Committee and its Chair.

The assessments are conducted through written questionnaires completed by the Committee members. The questionnaires include, as applicable, a Board appraisal, an evaluation of each director's performance, a Committee self-appraisal on responsibility and effectiveness, and an evaluation of the Committee Chair. The Committees then report the results of their reviews to the Board.

In early 2025, an enhanced Board evaluation was conducted, with the annual questionnaires complemented with one-on-one interviews between each director and the Chairman of the CG&N Committee. The interviews focused on the Board as a whole and the supporting work of the committees and included feedback to directors regarding: current performance, strengths, need for improvement, access to management, the sufficiency and risks of blindspots in the information provided to Directors, and strategic and planning initiatives. Upon completion of the assessment, relevant feedback from the Directors was reported to the rest of the Board and to the CEO in the ongoing effort to strengthen communication lines between Directors and between the Board and management.

While assessment questionnaires are completed annually, the additional interviews are conducted every second year. The next enhanced Board evaluation process will occur in 2027.

Orientation and Continuing Education

Management will ensure that a new appointee to the Board receives the appropriate written materials to fully apprise him or her of the duties and responsibilities of a director pursuant to applicable law and policy. Each new director brings a different skill set and professional background, and with this information, the Board is able to determine what orientation to the nature and operations of the Company's business will be necessary and relevant to each new director. Continuing education for directors is provided as such need arises and open discussion is encouraged at all meetings, a format that fosters learning by the Directors. Each Director of the Company has the responsibility for ensuring that he or she maintains the skill and knowledge necessary to meet his or her obligations as a director.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Corporate Governance Page | B-15

As part of the continuing education of directors, management makes regular presentations to the Board on specific aspects of the Company's business or industry that are deemed particularly relevant or important, or on topics that the Board considers to be beneficial. The Company also encourages its directors to attend conferences, seminars or courses on subjects related to their role on the Board or when appropriate Board Committees.

A minimum of three structured additional educational seminars on different topics are arranged for the Directors each year. Topics for presentation are suggested annually by the Directors, and are determined by management in consultation with the Chair of the CG&N Committee. In 2024, educational seminars included: Climate Investment in West Africa; Electronic Trading & Non-fundamental Investors; and Analysis of the Gold Market.

The Board also receives quarterly reports on ESG trends from external consultants to ensure they remain up to date on the evolutions in the ESG space. In 2024, the Board approved all strategic plans for 2024, budgets and targets, including those related to ESG.

Site Visits

The Directors routinely visit the Company's operations. In May 2024, the Directors visited the Caylloma Mine in Peru; and, in November 2024, the Directors visited the Diamba Sud project in Senegal. Site visits enable the Directors to stay at site and view the operations, meet with local management, employees and contractors. They also have the opportunity to meet with local community leaders, and to see local Company-sponsored education initiatives. There are more planned site visits for 2025.

The Directors receive an in-depth monthly report from management with ad hoc reports delivered as needed. As well, at each of the quarterly meetings of the Board, Directors receive a detailed report and presentation on each of our business units and meet with selected members of regional management.

Shareholder Engagement

The Company recognizes the importance of maintaining consistent engagement with its shareholders. We understand that open, transparent, and timely communication is essential to remaining attuned to shareholder perspectives on matters affecting the Company and addressing any concerns or suggestions that may arise.

To foster meaningful relationships and ensure transparency, the Company engages with shareholders through the following key channels:

· Investor Relations: Shareholders have direct access to Fortuna’s Investor Relations team through our website and publicly available corporate materials. We encourage outreach and provide timely, transparent communication on the Company’s operations and strategic direction.

· Quarterly Earnings Calls: These calls are hosted online by the CEO, CFO, and Chief Operating Officers for Latin America and West Africa. Participation details are announced in advance via news release. The calls are open to the public and provide investors, analysts, and media representatives with the opportunity to interact with senior management. Recordings and transcripts are archived on the Company’s website.

· Investor and Media Engagement: In 2024, Fortuna conducted 270 in-person and online meetings with analysts, institutional and retail investors, trade publications, social media influencers, and traditional media outlets, facilitating active dialogue with a wide range of stakeholders.

· Institutional and Retail Investor Conferences: The Company regularly participates in leading precious metals investor conferences. Our Chairman, CEO, and members of the executive leadership team attend these events to engage directly with investors and communicate Fortuna’s vision and performance.

· Site Tours: Although no site visits with shareholders were held in 2024 due to strategic priorities, the Company hosted a site visit to the Lindero Mine in Salta, Argentina in early 2025 and plans a visit to the Séguéla Mine in Côte d’Ivoire in the second half of the year. These tours provide shareholders, investors,

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Corporate Governance Page | B-16

analysts, and media with firsthand insight into the Company’s operations, culture, and sustainability initiatives, and facilitate direct interaction with senior and site-level leadership.

· Corporate Governance: Fortuna’s website offers transparent access to governance policies, procedures, and whistleblower channels, all of which are overseen by the Board of Directors. These frameworks help ensure that the Company operates in the best interests of its employees, communities, and shareholders. Relevant information is also made available to proxy advisory firms, investors, and advocacy organizations upon request.

· Disclosure: Fortuna files all regulatory documents and news releases on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and EDGAR (www.sec.gov). The Company also holds an Annual General Meeting, providing shareholders with an opportunity to engage with management and vote on corporate matters.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board expects management to operate the business of the Company in a manner that enhances shareholder value and is consistent with the highest level of integrity. Accordingly, the Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Whistle-Blower Policy (the "Code") which has been filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and is also available on the Company's website. In addition, the Board must comply with conflict-of-interest provisions in Canadian corporate law, including relevant securities regulatory instruments, in order to ensure that directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in respect of which a director or executive officer has a material interest. Training on the Code was through online training to all employees directors and officers in 2024.

In order to monitor compliance with the Code and provide an avenue for stakeholders (employees, officers, directors, suppliers, and customers) to raise concerns and be reassured that they will be protected from reprisals or victimization for whistle-blowing in good faith, the Board has also adopted a Whistle-Blower Policy establishing the procedure for the receipt and treatment of reports by the Company, on a confidential or anonymous basis, regarding accounting, internal controls, auditing matters, disclosure, fraud and unethical business practices, whether submitted by Company employees or third parties. Complaints may be reported to a manager or supervisor, or through the Company's whistle-blower website: http://fortuna.ethicspoint.com. Reports are reviewed by the Company's Audit Committee.

Strategic Planning

Management is responsible for developing and recommending the Company's strategic plan, for approval by the Board and periodically throughout the year. The Board reviews the current and proposed operations of the Company and assesses the strategic plan's strengths, weaknesses and overall results so that the plan can be adjusted as needed in a timely manner.

In 2021, the Company engaged external consultants to assist in the planning process which was conducted over a period of five months and involved meetings with management and the Board. The result was the adoption of a new strategic plan to cover the period from 2022 to 2026 to secure the long-term growth and value creation for the Company. The Board reviewed the progress of the strategic plan in November 2024.

The Board approves the annual corporate objectives and budget for the ensuing year and the five-year plan. In line with the strategic plan, the Company’s budget for 2025 was approved in December 2024. Management's progress in meeting the strategic and operational goals is reviewed by the Board throughout the year and is considered when determining compensation. As part of its review, the Board believes its role is to balance performance and compliance by ensuring that management's actions are consistent with the strategic goals; reflective of the corporate culture of the Company's business; and in alignment with the Company's risk tolerance.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Corporate Governance Page | B-17

Share Ownership Policy

Based on a recommendation by the Compensation Committee, the Board adopted in 2016 a Share Ownership Policy, as amended in March 2022, to reflect the completion of the acquisition of Roxgold Inc. in July of 2021 and the changes in the management structure of the Company. The Share Ownership Policy sets out share ownership guidelines which will enhance alignment of the interests of directors and executive officers of the Company with its shareholders. Minimum share ownership levels must be achieved within five years.

The CEO is required to have acquired Common Shares and/or share-settled Share Units of the Company having a value equal to three times the gross amount of his annual base salary; the CFO is required to have acquired Common Shares and/or share-settled Share Units having a value equal to two times the gross amount of his annual base salary, and each of the Chief Operating Officers and Senior Vice-Presidents must have acquired Common Shares and/or share-settled Share Units having a value equal to the gross amount of his annual base salary. Non-executive directors are required to hold Common Shares and/or DSUs of the Company having a value equal to three times the gross amount of their annual director retainer.

The status of the equity targets of the NEOs and directors and their holdings as at December 31, 2024 are as follows:

Name	Required ownership as multiple of annual base salary / retainer	Required dollar value		Common Shares held		Share- settled Share Units held		DSUs held		Total holdings		Acquisition value of total holdings		Percentage of ownership target			Target met, or deadline for meeting target

Diversity

In early 2024, the Board approved a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy, which promotes diversity in the workplace by respecting and appreciating differences in gender, age, ethnic origin, religion, education, sexual orientation, political belief or disability. In addition, the Board also approved certain amendments to the Board and Management Diversity Policy (formerly the Diversity Policy), which promotes diversity specifically at the Board and Senior Management levels. At Fortuna, we respect and value the perspectives, experiences, cultures and essential differences that our Board, management and employees possess.

The Company currently has three female directors (37.5% of the Board) and no female senior executive officers. Kylie Dickson was appointed to the Board in August 2017, Kate Harcourt was appointed to the Board in July 2021 and Salma Seetaroo was appointed to the Board in June 2022. Women comprise 43% of non-management directors and 50% of independent directors on the Board.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Corporate Governance Page | B-18

During the confidential Board and Committee assessments conducted in early 2024, Directors were asked to voluntarily self identify in the following categories: gender, disability, race/ethnicity and cultural/geographical diversity. Four directors self identify as racially and/or ethnically diverse.

The following charts show some of the diverse characteristics of our current members of the Board:

The Board considers gender diversity an important element in the achievement of its diversity initiatives. The Board does not have a fixed quota for the selection of its candidates. In 2021, the Board committed to have a composition of 30% female directors as independent directors by the Company’s 2023 annual general meeting. The Board has achieved this commitment. The CG&N Committee Charter reflects that at least one member of the CG&N Committee shall be a woman.

We strive to meet or exceed all reasonable stakeholder expectations and to be the company of choice as a great place to work. We are successful at both because we recruit, retain, reward and develop our people based upon their abilities and contributions. Fortuna does not condone engagement in actions that would violate any anti-discrimination, equal employment or other laws and regulations.

Among the various dimensions of diversity, the Company is focusing on gender. In the locations where the Company operates, mining has traditionally been seen as a male occupation. The Company is seeking to destigmatize the sector and promote the participation of women, to generate shared value for the Company and society. The Company has included key performance indicators and targets for the representation of women in the labor force and management in its five-year sustainability plan.

We establish targets for the representation of women in the workforce and management on an annual basis. The following table reflects the participation of women in our workforce and targets we set for 2024.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Corporate Governance Page | B-19

Sustainability Metrics	2024 Targets			2024 Performance
% of female employees		14.28	%	15.86% Above target
% of female employees in management positions		13.34	%	15.47% Above target

The Board is committed to fostering a diverse workplace environment where:

· individual differences and opinions are heard and respected;

· employment opportunities are based on the qualifications required for a particular position at a particular time, including training, experience, performance, skill and merit; and

· inappropriate attitudes, behaviors, actions and stereotypes are not tolerated and will be addressed and eliminated.

The Board proactively monitors Company performance in meeting the standards outlined in the Board and Management Diversity Policy. In particular, the Board uses a skills matrix to assess the strengths and adequacy of existing Board members, as well as to assist with the evaluation of any new director candidates. See "Director Skills and Areas of Expertise” below.

Director Tenure

There are no term limits for directors and the Company does not have a retirement policy for directors. The Board believes that the need to have experienced directors who are familiar with the business of the Company must be balanced with the need for renewal, fresh perspectives and a healthy skepticism when assessing management and its recommendations. The Board has a formal assessment process that evaluates the performance of the Board and its committees and the skills and contribution of each director. The Company has not adopted director term limits at this time on the basis that the imposition of such limits discounts the value of experience and continuity amongst Board members.

Such limits create a risk of excluding experienced and valuable Board members as a result of an arbitrary determination based on fixed criteria that may not best serve the interests of shareholders. The Board believes that other mechanisms of ensuring Board renewal, such as the Company's formal assessment program, are adequate for ensuring that the Company maintains a high performing Board. See page B-22 for details regarding the skills matrix used by the Board to assess the strengths and adequacy of the Company's directors. The current Board composition reflects a good balance of directors with knowledge of the history of the Company together with recent appointees who contribute by fresh ideas and perspective.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Corporate Governance Page | B-20

The following table illustrates an appropriate degree of director turnover while maintaining Board continuity and experience:

Director	Approximate Years
Jorge Ganoza Durant		20
Mario Szotlender		16
David Farrell		11
David Laing		8
Alfredo Sillau		7
Kylie Dickson		7
Kate Harcourt		4
Salma Seetaroo		3
Overall Average:		9.5
Independent Directors Average:		6.7

Succession Planning

Succession planning in key leadership positions is important to ensure the stability and continuity of the Company’s business. The CG&N Committee is responsible for reviewing the Company´s succession plan for the CEO and other key executives on an annual basis, in accordance with the Company’s Succession Policy.

Each of our Country Heads is responsible for reviewing and presenting succession plans for key leadership positions in each subsidiary on an annual basis to management of the Company and the Board.

Succession plans include contingency plans for emergency replacements, as well as near-term and long-term successors for key management positions, and is also recommended for those positions where there is a critical need to ensure continuity of talent. All such positions are identified through the talent management process.

Succession planning is a key responsibility of management. The human resources department partners with management to facilitate the process.

Director Attendance Record

The table below summarizes the number of Board and committee meetings attended by each director during 2024:

Appendix "A"

Board Mandate

INTRODUCTION

National Policy 58-201, Corporate Governance Guidelines, and National Instrument 58-101, Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices, mandate corporate governance policies for reporting issuers and provide the framework for disclosure of these policies to the public.

The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) considers good corporate governance to be essential to the fiduciary obligations of the directors to its shareholders and integral to the ongoing good management and development of the Company, and in this connection has developed this Mandate.

COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD

The Board has determined that in order to effectively manage the Company's affairs, the Company requires between five and nine directors, the majority of whom shall be independent.

MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors meets in person at least once per year. The Board also holds additional scheduled and unscheduled meetings by telephone conference call from time to time as business needs require. The quorum necessary for the transaction of business at a Board meeting shall be a majority of the directors. During the course of a directors’ meeting, if they deem it appropriate, the independent directors may meet in camera, and in any eventthe independent directors will meet by themselves at least four times per year.

MANDATE

The mandate of the Board is to supervise the management of the Company and to act in the best interests of the Company. The Board acts in accordance with the British Columbia Business Corporations Act; the Company’s Articles; the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; the Mandate of the Board, the charters of the Board’s committees, and other applicable laws and policies. The Board approves significant decisions that affect the Company before they are implemented. As a part of its overall responsibility for the stewardship of the Company, the Board assumes responsibility for the following:

a. Stewardship

The Board sets and supervises standards of corporate governance that create a culture of integrity throughout the Company, and guides the operations of the Company and management in compliance with the Company's constating documents and British Columbia corporate law, securities legislation in each jurisdiction in which the Company is a reporting issuer, and other applicable laws.

b. Strategic Planning

The Board monitors the Company’s strategic planning process, including the opportunities and risks of the business. The senior officers of the Company (“Management”) present materials relating to the strategic plan to the Board periodically throughout the year on current and proposed operations of the Company. The Board reviews the plan to assess its strengths, weaknesses and overall results so that the plan can be adjusted in a timely manner.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR Corporate Governance | Appendix Page B-i

c. Dealing with Risks

The Board, in its assessment of the strategic plan, reviews principal risks and considers management’s plans to monitor and manage risk. The principal risks to the Company have been identified as risks relating to the environment, social, safety, securities markets, commodity prices, currency fluctuations, legislative and title issues arising from operations and the fact that exploration, development and mining activities are inherently risky. Management assists the Board in identifying risks and to promptly alert the Board when a risk has materialized or materially changed. The Board may from time to time appoint Management members, board members or advisors to assist in assessing different risks.

d. Succession Planning

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee annually identifies key individuals of the Company and, in consultation with Management, determines how to replace such individuals should the need arise. Management is assigned the responsibility of training and advising new persons of the Company's policies and practices. The CEO has primary responsibility for supervising and reviewing the performance of Management.

e. Disclosure Policy

The Disclosure Policy governs communication with shareholders and others and reflects the Company's commitment to timely, effective and accurate corporate disclosure in accordance with all applicable laws and with a view to enhancing the Company's relationship with its shareholders.

f. Internal Control and Management Information Systems

The effectiveness and integrity of the Company's internal control and management information systems contribute to the effectiveness of the Board and the Company. The Board, through its audit committee, oversees and monitors internal control and management information systems.

g. Approach to Corporate Governance

The Board has appointed a Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee which has overall responsibility for developing the Company’s approach to corporate governance including keeping informed of legal requirements and trends regarding corporate governance, monitoring and assessing the functioning of the Board and committees of the Board, and for developing, implementing and monitoring good corporate governance practices. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is also responsible for identifying and recommending to the Board individuals qualified to become new board members.

Individual directors may engage an outside adviser at the expense of the Company in appropriate circumstances, subject to the approval of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee.

h. Feedback

The Company’s website facilitates feedback from shareholders by permitting requests for information and sending messages directly to the Company.

i. Expectations and Responsibilities of Directors

The Board is responsible for determining the committees of the Board that are required to effectively manage certain aspects of the Board's duties, and for ensuring that the committees have the requisite independence, competency and skill. The Board approves and annually reviews the charters of the committees, and conducts, with the assistance of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, annual reviews of the performance of the committees.

ORIENTATION AND CONTINUING EDUCATION

The Board takes the following measures to ensure that all new directors receive a comprehensive orientation regarding the role of the Board and its committees, and the nature and operation of the Company’s business. Each new director is provided with a copy of the Corporate Governance Manual, which contains the Company’s policies and provides a comprehensive introduction to the Board and its committees. Based on the individual skill set and professional background of each new director, the Chair determines what orientation to the nature and operation of the Company’s business will be necessary and relevant to each new director.

The Board ensures that proposed directors are able to devote sufficient time and energy to being a director of the Company. The Board provides continuing education opportunities for all the directors so that directors may maintain or enhance their skills and abilities as directors, as well as to ensure their knowledge and understanding of the Company’s business remains current. The Board takes the following measures to provide continuing education for its directors in order that they maintain the skill and knowledge necessary for them to meet their obligations as directors:

a. The Corporate Governance Manual is reviewed by the Board annually and any revisions thereto are given to each director.

b. The Board may request from Management technical or other presentations focusing on a particular property or issue. The Q&A portions of these presentations are a valuable learning resource for non-technical directors.

c. As requested, site visits to the Company’s mines and projects.

CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS

The Board has adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics (the “Code”) applicable to directors, officer, employees and consultants (“Company Personnel”) of the Company. The Code sets standards designed to promote integrity and deter wrongdoing. As required by securities legislation, the Code has been filed on SEDAR.

The Board is responsible for monitoring compliance with the Code. Company Personnel are instructed to report instances of non-compliance with the Code to the Chair of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee.

NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for identifying individuals and recommending to the Board those qualified to become new board members. New nominees must have a track record in general business management, experience in an area of strategic interest to the Company, the ability to devote the time required and a willingness to serve.

The vesting period, if any, applicable to stock options and other stock-based compensation will be determined by the Board.

REGULAR BOARD ASSESSMENTS

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee assesses on an annual basis the required competency and skill required by the Board and its committees.

The Board, its committees and each individual director will be assessed on an annual basis regarding his, her or its effectiveness and contribution. Such assessment should consider:

a. In the case of the board or a committee, its mandate or charter, and

b. In the case of an individual director, the applicable position description (if any), and the competencies and skills each individual director is expected to bring to the Board.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee reports its assessments to the Board on an annual basis.
