#84563 RE: Skiluc #84562

Not many are questioning the value of our project.


I would question the value of being a holder of this stock for 10 years just to give my shares up to GXII shareholders in a deal made and NR’d before we got the results of our Commercial scale plant, that we have been waiting for, for 2 years.

The SPAC was not even set up for investment in a mining venture.
But we will make sure they go for it. Won’t we?

I hope you’re right, about this being a fake deal to land a bigger fish.

With respect to any Person or group with whom such discussions or negotiations have been terminated, the Company will, (i)?immediately discontinue access to, and disclosure of, all information regarding the Company or any Company Subsidiaries, including any data room and any confidential information, properties, facilities and books and records of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, and (ii)?within two Business Days of the execution of this Agreement, request and exercise all rights it has to require that such Person or group promptly return or destroy in accordance with the terms of the applicable confidentiality agreement all information furnished by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Affiliates and use reasonable best efforts to enforce compliance with such request, to the extent the Company has such rights under applicable agreements. The Company represents and warrants that it has not waived any confidentiality, standstill, non-disclosure, non-solicitation or similar agreement, restriction or covenant to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party. The Company also covenants, agrees and confirms that (A) the Company shall take all necessary action to enforce each confidentiality, standstill, non-disclosure, non-solicitation or similar agreement, restriction or covenant to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party or may hereafter become a party in accordance with Section 5.2(c), and (B) neither the Company, nor any Company Subsidiary nor any of their respective Representatives have released or will, without the prior written consent of GX (which may be withheld or delayed in GX’s sole and absolute discretion), release any Person from, or waive, amend, suspend or otherwise modify, such Person’s obligations respecting the Company or any Company Subsidiary under any confidentiality, standstill, non-disclosure, non-solicitation or similar agreement, restriction or covenant to which the Corporation or any Subsidiary is a party (provided that the foregoing will not apply to any commercial contract unrelated to an Alternative Transaction, where such confidentiality or non-solicitation restrictions are incidental thereto).

(b)??????????????

(c)??????????????? Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company Board receives a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Agreement (including as a result of actions taken by any Representative of the Company that would have constituted a breach of the Section 5.2 Company Provisions if such actions had been taken by the Company) and the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to constitute a Superior Proposal, subject to the Company having been, and continuing to be in compliance with the Section 5.2 Company Provisions, the Company and its Representatives may (i)?furnish information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person (or group of Persons) making such proposal (and such Person’s or group’s, as the case may be, Representatives) subject to having entered into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, and (ii)?participate in discussions or negotiations regarding such proposal with the Person (or group of Persons) making such proposal and such Person’s or group’s, as the case may be, Representatives; provided that the Company shall provide to GX any material non-public information, documentation or data that is provided to any Person given such access that was not previously made available to GX prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such Person (and in any event within 24 hours thereof).

immediately prior to entering into a definitive merger, business combination or other similar transaction agreement in respect of such Superior Proposal and (2) the publicly disclosed per Company Common Share value of the Transactions, (E) is made by a Person or group of Persons who has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Company Board, acting in good faith (after consultation with its outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel), that it has (i) adequate cash on hand and/or (ii) fully committed financing in place at the time of execution of the definitive transaction agreement in connection with such Acquisition Proposal from a bank or other recognized and reputable financial institution, fund or organization that makes debt or equity investments or financing as part of its usual activities, and that is not subject to any condition or contingency other than customary closing conditions to complete such Acquisition Proposal at the time and on the basis set out therein, (F) is not subject to any due diligence or to any material additional closing conditions as compared to the Transactions pursuant to this Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Acquisition Proposal can be a Superior Proposal if such Acquisition Proposal is made by a third party, including a group consisting of joint actors with a third party, that (1) is a related party (as defined under Canadian securities laws) or an Affiliate of the Company, (2) is an issuer whose principal asset is cash, cash equivalents, or its exchange listing, including, without limitation, a special purpose acquisition company (other than GX), (3) has been approached by either GX or the Company, with the consent of the other Party, or (4) has been approached by the Company in connection with the Transaction prior to the receipt by the Company of such Superior Proposal; provided, further, that for purposes of the definition of “Superior Proposal,” the term “Acquisition Proposal” shall have the meaning assigned to such term herein, except that (x) the references to “15% or more” in such definition shall be deemed to be references to “100%” and (y) the references to “assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries which constitute 15% or more of the consolidated net revenues, net income or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole” shall be deemed to be references to “all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole”. For purposes of this Agreement, an “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement” means a confidentiality agreement that contains confidentiality and standstill provisions on terms no less favorable in any substantive respect to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement.

(d)??????????????

Recommendation Change”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 5.2(e), in the event that, prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel) that (A) it has received a Superior Proposal and (B) the failure to make a Company Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the Company Board shall give GX at least five Business Days from the later of the date on which GX received notice of a Superior Proposal in accordance with Section 5.2(e) and the date on which GX received all of the materials referred to in Section 5.2(e) with respect to each new Superior Proposal from the Company (the “Right to Match Period”) advance notice of any action to be taken by the Company Board to enter into or approve the entering into of an agreement in respect of the Superior Proposal and GX shall, during the Right to Match Period, have the right, but not the obligation, to propose in writing to amend the terms of this Agreement. The Company Board shall review in good faith and in consultation with its outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel any proposal by GX to amend the terms of this Agreement and the Transactions in order to determine, in good faith in the exercise of its fiduciary duties (after consultation with its outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel), whether GX’s proposal to amend the terms of this Agreement and the Transactions would result in the Acquisition Proposal not being a Superior Proposal, with respect to which the failure to make a Company Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law. If requested by GX, the Company will, and will cause its Representatives to, during any Right to Match Period, engage in good faith negotiations with GX and its Representatives to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal. Each successive amendment or modification to any Acquisition Proposal that results in an increase in, or modification of, the consideration (or value of such consideration) to be received by the Company Shareholders or other material terms or conditions thereof shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for the purposes of this Section 5.2, and GX shall be afforded a new full five (5) Business Day Right to Match Period from the later of the date on which GX received notice thereof in accordance with Section 5.2(e) and the date on which GX received all of the materials referred to in Section 5.2(e) with respect to each new Superior Proposal from the Company. The Company Board may (A) effect a Company Recommendation Change in respect of a Superior Proposal or (B) terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.3(b) to enter into an agreement, understanding or arrangement in respect of a Superior Proposal only if (Y) GX does not, prior to the expiry of the Right to Match Period, propose to amend the terms of this Agreement, or (Z) GX delivers to the Company, prior to the expiry of the Right to Match Period, a proposal to amend the terms of this Agreement as contemplated in this Section 5.2(d), and thereafter the Company Board determines, in good faith in the exercise of its fiduciary duties (after consultation with its outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel), taking into account GX’s proposal to amend this Agreement, that (1) the Acquisition Proposal remains a Superior Proposal and (2) the failure to make a Company Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law. It is understood and agreed that any amendment to any material term or condition of any Superior Proposal will require a new notice and a new Right to Match Period that will expire five Business Days following delivery of such new notice from the Company to GX.

(e)??????????????? In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in the Section 5.2 Company Provisions, the Company will promptly advise GX, at first orally and then in any event within 24 hours in writing of receipt or otherwise becoming aware thereof, of any request for information, proposal or inquiry relating to, or that would reasonably be expected to result in, an Alternative Acquisition, the material terms and conditions of such request, proposal or inquiry (including any changes thereto), the identity of the Person making such request, proposal or inquiry and copies of all written documents, correspondence or other material received in respect of, from or on behalf of any such Person. The Company will keep GX fully informed of the status and details (including amendments or proposed amendments) of any such request, proposal or inquiry on a prompt basis and shall promptly provide to GX copies of all material correspondence if in writing or electronic form, and if not in writing or electronic form, a description of the material or substantive terms of such correspondence communicated to the Company by or on behalf of any Person making such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request and shall respond as promptly as practicable to all inquiries by GX with respect thereto. Following the Company Board’s good faith determination (after consultation with its outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel) that (i) it has received a Superior Proposal in accordance with Section 5.2(c) and (ii) the failure to make a Company Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law,?the Company shall promptly, and in any event within 24 hours of such determination, deliver to GX a written notice of the determination of the Company Board that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and of the intention of the Company Board to enter into such definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal and to make a Company Recommendation Change, along with a complete copy of the definitive agreement for the Superior Proposal and all material supporting documentation, including any financing documents supplied to the Corporation in connection therewith. During any Right to Match Period, the Company shall discuss and negotiate in good faith and make its Representatives available to discuss and negotiate in good faith (in each case to the extent GX desires to negotiate) with GX and GX’s Representatives any proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the Transactions so that the Acquisition Proposal does constitute a Superior Proposal, with respect to which the failure to make a Company Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement would no longer be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(f)??????????????? Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company Board, acting in good faith and upon advice of its outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel, from making any disclosure to Company Pre-Closing Shareholders as required by applicable Laws, including complying with section 2.17 of National Instrument 62-104 – “Take-Over Bids and Issuer Bids” of the Canadian Securities Administrators, as it may be amended from time to time, and similar provisions under applicable U.S. securities Laws relating to the provision of a directors’ circular in respect of an Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Company Board shall fail to reaffirm its recommendation of this Agreement and the Transactions in any such disclosure, or be permitted to recommend that the Company Pre-Closing Shareholders tender any securities in connection with any take-over bid that is an Acquisition Proposal or effect a Company Recommendation Change with respect thereto except as permitted by this Section?5.2.

(g)?????????????? The Company Board shall promptly reaffirm the Company Recommendation by press release after any Acquisition Proposal which is not determined to be a Superior Proposal is

publicly announced or publicly disclosed or the Company Board determines that a proposed amendment to the terms of this Agreement or the Transactions as contemplated under Section 5.2(d) would result in an Acquisition Proposal no longer being a Superior Proposal. The Company shall provide GX and its outside legal with a reasonable opportunity to review the form and content of any such press release and shall make all reasonable amendments to such press release as requested by GX and its outside legal counsel.
