The Plan is not subject to any of the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and regulationsis not qualified under Code Section 401(a).

Information concerning awards under the Previous Plan is available in this Proxy Statement.

Federal Income Tax Consequences Relating to the Plan

The following is a brief description of the Federal income tax treatment that will generally apply to options granted under the Plan based on current Federal income tax rules.

Incentive stock options are options which under certain circumstances and subject to certain tax restrictions, have special tax benefits for employees under the Code. Nonqualified stock options are options which do not receive such special tax treatment.

When the Board (or a committee thereof) grants an incentive stock option and when the optionee exercises an incentive stock option and acquires Shares, the optionee realizes no taxable income. However, the difference between the fair market value of the shares upon exercise and the exercise price (the spread) is an item of tax preference subject to the possible application of the alternative minimum tax.

If the optionee disposes of the stock exchanges wherebefore two years from grant or one year from the Company’sexercise of the incentive stock option (a disqualifying disposition), any gain will be deemed compensation and taxed as ordinary income to the extent of the lesser of (i) the difference between the fair market value of the stock at exercise and the exercise price (the spread) or (ii) the difference, if any, between the sale price and the exercise price. If a disqualifying disposition occurs, the Company can claim a deduction equal to the amount treated as compensation. If one- and two-year holding periods are satisfied, any gain or loss realized when the shares are listed,sold will be treated as capital gain or loss, and reviewing the Company's by-lawsCompany will receive no corresponding tax deduction.


When the Board (or a committee thereof) grants a nonqualified stock option, the optionee realizes no taxable income and related documents. Moreover, new directors are invitedthe Company can claim no deduction. Upon exercise of a nonqualified stock option, the optionee realizes ordinary income to speak with the Company's solicitors, auditors and other service provider to become familiar with their legal responsibilities.

Ethical Business Conduct

The roleextent of the Boardspread, and the Company can claim a tax deduction for the same amount.


Special Rules: Special rules may apply in the case of individuals subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. In particular, unless a special election is made pursuant to overseeSection 83(b) of the conductCode, shares received pursuant to the exercise of an option may be treated as restricted as to transferability and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture for a period of up to six months after the date of grant. Accordingly, the amount of any ordinary income recognized, and the amount of the Company's business, to set corporate policy and to supervise management, which is responsible totax deduction, may be determined as of the end of such period.

The Board recommends that the stockholders vote for the day-to-day conduct of business. However, given the sizeadoption of the Company, material transactions are addressed at the Board level. The Board discharges five specific responsibilities as part of its stewardship responsibility. These are:

·Strategic Planning Process: given the Company's size, the strategic plan is elaborated directly by management, with input from and assistance of the Board;
·Managing Risk: the Board directly oversees most aspects of the business of the Company and thus, does not require elaborate systems or numerous committees to effectively monitor and manage the principal risks of all aspects of the business of the Company;
·Appointing, Training, and Monitoring Senior Management: no elaborate system of selection, training and assessment of Management has been established, given the operations and size of the Company; however, the Board closely monitors Management's performance, which is measured against the overall strategic plan, through reports by and regular meetings with management;
·Communication Policy: it is and has always been the unwritten policy of the Board to communicate effectively with its shareholders, other stakeholders, and the public generally through statutory filings and mailings, as well as news releases; the shareholders are also given an opportunity to make comments or suggestions at shareholder meetings; these comments and suggestions are then factored into the Board's decisions; and
·Ensuring the integrity of the Company's Internal Control and Management Information System: given the involvement of the Board in operations, the reports from and the meetings with management, the Board can effectively track and monitor the implementation of approved strategies.

Special Advisory Committee

The Company has establishedStock Option Plan Resolution. In order to be approved, this resolution must be approved by not less than a special advisory committee to help oversee its project in Madagascar. The Special Advisory Committee consists of Robin Borley, Kirk McKinnon, Anthony G. Toldo and Marc Hein LL.D. The purpose of this committee is to assist the Company in securing financing and strategic partners for the development of the Madagascar properties, including liaison with governmental and regulatory bodies in Madagascar.

Disclosure Policy and Disclosure Committee

During fiscal 2010, the Board adopted a Disclosure Policy and created a Disclosure Policy Committee. This committee consists of the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chief Financial Officer and the Senior Vice President of Corporate Development. The majority of the Committee must approve all disclosure made by the Company with such majority being made up of at least two directors. The objective of the Disclosure Policy is to ensure that communications with the investing public are timely, factual and accurate, and broadly disseminated in accordance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The Disclosure Policy extends to all employees of the Company, its Board, those authorized to speak on its behalf and all other insiders. It covers disclosures in documents filed with securities regulators, financial and non-financial disclosure, including management's discussion and analysis, written statements made in the Company's annual and interim reports, news releases, letters to shareholders, presentations by senior management, information on the Company's web site and other electronic communications. It extends to oral statements made in meetings and telephone conversations with analysts and investors, media interviews, speeches and press conferences.

Capital Projects Committee

The Capital Projects Committee was formed in 2010 to advance the Madagascar. Currently, Richard Schler (Chairperson), Albert A. Thiess, Jr., Craig Scherba and Peter Liabotis are members of this committee.

The Board of Directors Relationship with Management

Both the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company are members of the Board, as is usual in a company of this size. The Board feels that this is not an impediment to the proper discharge of its responsibilities. Interaction between management and the Board, inside and outside Board meetings, ensures that the Board is informed and the Board members' experience utilized by management. The Board remains cognizant to corporate governance issues and seeks to set up structures to ensure the effective discharge of its responsibilities without creating additional costs. The Board is committed to ensuring the Company’s long-term viability, and the well-being of its employees, consultants and of the communities in which it operates. The Board has also adopted a policy of permitting individual directors under appropriate circumstances to engage legal, financial or other expert advisorsvotes cast at the Company’s expense.

Nomination of Directors

The Board performs the functions of a nominating committee who appoints and assesses of directors. There are no specific criteria for Board membership. The Company seeks to attract and maintain directors with business expertise, and in particular, knowledge of mineral development, geology, investment banking, corporate law and finance. Nominations tend to be the result of recruitment efforts by management and directors, which are then presented to the Board for consideration.

Compensation and Assessment

The Board determines the compensation for the Company’s directors and officers, based on industry standards and the Company’s financial situation. Other than stock options granted to directors from time to time, directors currently do not receive any remuneration for their acting in such capacity. The Board assesses, on an annual basis, the contribution of the Board as a whole and each individual director, in order to determine whether each is functioning effectively. If prudent, changes are made.

Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to its directors, officers, and employees, including its principal executive officers, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller or persons performing similar functions. The Financial Code of Business Conduct was filed as Exhibit 14.1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-QSB for June 30, 2004 as filed on May 19, 2004.

Meetings of the Board and Committees

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of the Company’s Common Stock are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they filed. Except as otherwise set forth herein, based solely on review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company, or written representations that no reports were required, the Company believes that for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, beneficial owners and executives complied with Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to them.

PROPOSAL 2 - RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


At the Meeting of Stockholders, the stockholders will vote to ratify the appointment of MNP LLP (“MNP”("MNP"), as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014.2016.  MNP served as auditor for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.2015. We do not expect a representative of MNP to be present at the Meeting.

On May 13, 2013, the Company received notice that, effective June 1, 2013, MSCM LLP (“MSCM”) the Company’s independent registered public accountants, merged with MNP LLP (“MNP”). Most of the professional staff of MSCM continued with MNP either as employees or partners will continue their practice with MNP.


The Board has selected MNP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014.2016.  Although the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm is not required under the Company’sCompany's By-laws or otherwise to be ratified by our stockholders, the Board has directed that the appointment of MNP be submitted to our stockholders for ratification due to the significance of their appointment.  If our stockholders fail to ratify the selection, it will be considered as a direction to the Board to consider the selection of a different firm.  Even if the selection is ratified, the Board in its discretion may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors


The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of MNP LLP, as the Company’sCompany's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014.

PROPOSAL 3 - APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCK OPTION PLAN

The following is a brief summary of the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (“Plan”). Shareholders are encouraged to review the entire Plan filed on Form 8-K on October 16, 2013 or athttp://www.energizerresources.com/investors/agm-data. The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of the Company, by providing an additional incentive to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified and competent persons who are key to the Company and upon whose efforts and judgment the success of the Company and its Subsidiaries is largely dependent.

·Eligibility of the Plan includes key employees, consultants, independent contractors, Officers and Directors.
·The Board currently administers the Plan.
·There are 28,445,000 stock options outstanding, representing 14.8% of the non-diluted, currently issued and outstanding Shares of the Company. If this resolution is passed, excluding 4,050,000 stock options previously exercised, which are not allowed to be reissued, 17.4% of the non-diluted currently issued and outstanding Shares of the Company would be eligible for issue under the Plan.
19
2016.
·Currently 32,500,000 stock options, including previously exercised stock options, are eligible for issue under the Plan. 37,500,000 are proposed to be eligible for issue under this resolution. This represents 16.9% and 19.5% of the non-diluted currently issued and outstanding Shares of the Company.
·Since the inception of the Plan, a total of 4,050,000 stock options have been exercised. This represents 2.1% of the non-diluted, currently issued and outstanding Shares of the Company.
·The Board, by resolution, will designate an exercise price for stock options as the prior day closing price on a stock exchange to which the Company’s shares trade. To date, the Company has used the prior day U.S. dollar closing price as quoted on the OTCQX. The exercise price of stock options in no event shall be less than the Fair Market Value, as defined by TSX policies, of the Company’s shares underlying such option, on the date such option is granted.
·Notwithstanding the amendment provisions included in the Plan, the following may not be amended without approval of security holders: (a) a reduction in the exercise price or purchase price benefiting an Insider of the issuer; (b) an extension of the term benefiting an insider of the issuer; (c) any amendment to remove or to exceed the insider participation limit; (d) an increase to the maximum number of securities issuable, either as a fixed number or a fixed percentage of the listed issuer's outstanding capital represented by such securities; and (e) amendments to an amending provision within a security based compensation arrangement.
·Subject to the policies of the TSX, the Board may amend the Plan or any option without the consent or approval of the stockholders of the Company. This includes but is not limited to amendments: (a) of a housekeeping or administrative nature; (b) changes to vesting provisions; (c) changes to the termination provisions or terminating an option; (d) changes to terms and conditions of options not held by Insiders of the Company; (e) anti-dilution adjustments provided; and (f) amendments necessary to comply with applicable laws or regulatory requirements.
·Stock options may be issued for a period of up to 10 years.
·Stock options shall vest in accordance to the vesting schedule determined by the Board.
·Stock options are non-transferrable.
·Holders of stock options who cease to be associated with the Company without cause will retain their stock options, at the Board’s discretion, for up to one year.
·The Board may grant stock appreciation rights in tandem with options that have been or are granted under the Plan. A stock appreciation right shall entitle the holder to receive in cash, with respect to each share as to which the right is exercised, payment in an amount equal to the excess of the share’s fair market value on the date the right is exercised over its fair market value on the date the right was granted. To date no stock appreciation rights have been granted.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences (for U.S. citizens granted options under the Plan)

If a holder is granted a nonqualified stock option under the Plan, the holder should not have taxable income on the grant of the option. Generally, the holder should recognize ordinary income at the time of exercise in an amount equal to the fair market value of a share of our Shares at such time, less the exercise price paid. The holder's basis in the Shares for purposes of determining gain or loss on a subsequent sale or disposition of such shares generally will be the fair market value of our Shares on the date the holder exercises such option. Any subsequent gain or loss generally will be taxable as a capital gain or loss. The Company should be entitled to a federal income tax deduction at the time and for the same amount as the holder recognizes ordinary income.

A holder of an incentive stock option will not recognize taxable income upon grant. If the applicable employment-related requirements are met, the holder will not recognize taxable income at the time of exercise. However, the excess of the fair market value of our Shares received over the option price is an item of tax preference income potentially subject to the alternative minimum tax. If any of the requirements for incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue Code are not met, the incentive stock option will be treated as a nonqualified stock option and the tax consequences described above for nonqualified stock options will apply. Once an incentive stock option has been exercised, if the stock acquired upon exercise is held for a minimum of two years from the date of grant and one year from the date of exercise, the gain or loss (in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value on the date of sale and the exercise price) upon disposition of the stock will be treated as a long-term capital gain or loss, and we will not be entitled to any deduction. If the holding period requirements are not met, the excess of the fair market value on the date of exercise over the exercise price (less any diminution in value of the stock after exercise) will be taxed as ordinary income and the Company is entitled to a deduction to the extent of the amount included in the income of the holder. Appreciation in the stock subsequent to the exercise date will be taxed as long term or short-term capital gain, depending on whether the stock was held for more than one year after the exercise date.

If, on a change of control of the Company, the exercisability of an award is accelerated, any excess on the date of the change of control of the fair market value of the shares or cash issued under accelerated awards over the purchase price of such shares, if any, may be characterized as "parachute payments" (within the meaning of Section 280G) if the sum of such amounts and any other such contingent payments received by the employee exceeds an amount equal to three times the "base amount" for such employee. The base amount generally is the average of the annual compensation of such employee for the five years preceding a change in ownership or control. An "excess parachute payment," with respect to any employee, is the excess of the parachute payments to such person, in the aggregate, over and above such person's base amount. If the amounts received by an employee upon a change-in-control are characterized as parachute payments, such employee will be subject to a 20% excise tax on the excess parachute payment and the Company will be denied any deduction with respect to such excess parachute payment.

20


Taking all these factors into consideration, however, the Board of Directors believes that these measures should increase the likelihood that all of the Company’s shareholders will be treated equally and fairly when shareholder action is taken, and should enhance the ability of the Company and its shareholders to carefully consider shareholder nominations and proposals.

In order to conform with TSX and US tax regulations, certain sections within the Plan have been modified since the Company’s listing on the TSX during June 2011 and since the last annual general meeting of the Company. The Company is required to, and will continue to follow all policies and procedures of the TSX as they relate to stock option plans.

The following definitions are for purposes of this proposal:

“Disinterested Shareholder Approval” means approval of a majority of the votes cast by all Shareholders in person or by proxy at the Meeting, excluding votes attached to Shares beneficially owned by Insiders to whom options may be granted under the Plan and Associates of such persons;

“Insider” means (a) a director or senior officer of the Company, (b) a director or senior officer of a company that is an Insider or subsidiary of the Company, (c) an individual, corporation, incorporated association or organization, body corporate, partnership, trust, association or other entity that beneficially owns or controls, directly or indirectly, securities that are not debt securities that carry a voting right either under all circumstances or under some circumstances that have occurred and are continuing, or (d) the Company itself if it holds any of its own securities.

Disinterested Shareholders are asked to approve by passing the following ordinary resolution:

RESOLVED BY ORDINARY RESOLUTION: to approve an amendment to the Company’s Plan to increase the authorized number of options for Shares of the Company authorized to be issued to 37,500,000 from 32,500,000”.

In accordance with the requirement of the TSX to obtain Disinterested Shareholder Approval, proxies representing Shares beneficially owned by Insiders to whom options may be granted under the Plan will be excluded from voting on this resolution. The total number of shares which will be excluded from voting will be 10,591,000 shares which represents 5.50% of the non-diluted, issued and outstanding Shares of the Company. With respect to all other proxies, unless a proxy specifies that the Shares it represents are to be withheld from voting in favour of the resolution proposed above, the proxies named in the accompanying form of proxy intend to vote in favour of this resolution.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The Board recommends a vote FOR the approval of the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan that increases the number of options for Shares eligible for issue to 37,500,000 from 32,500,000.

PROPOSAL 4 – AUTHORIZATION TO COMPLETE PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF SUBSCRIPTION RECEIPTS TO FUND BANKABLE FEASIBLE STUDY

Background

The Company is proposing to conduct a private placement of securities (the “Private Placement”) in order to raise funds to finance the continued development of its Madagascar graphite mineral property as well as for general and administrative purposes. The securities offered pursuant to the Private Placement will be priced in the context of the market and may, but not necessarily will, be offered at a discount to the “market price” (within the meaning of such term under the rules of the TSX, which market price was, as of October 7, 2013, the date the Company applied for “price protection” under applicable TSX Policies, CAD $0.1334) but within the permitted discount under applicable TSX policies (the maximum permitted discount being 25%), which amount will not be less than CAD $0.10 per Subscription Receipt. However, pursuant to applicable TSX policies the securities will be deemed to be offered at a discount to the market price (even though the actual price may be at or above market at the time the securities are priced) since the Units (as defined below) underlying the Subscription Receipts will include warrants that are exercisable to acquire Shares and, if a sufficient number of Subscription Receipts are sold, may result in the issuance of listed Shares that is greater than 25% of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Company (on a non-diluted basis) prior to the completion of the Private Placement. Consequently, shareholder approval for the Private Placement is required.

The Company anticipates this will be the last Private Placement necessary before mine financing will be required. The funds raised from the Private Placement will be primarily used for the completion of a bankable feasibility study, which is now being expedited in order to meet the due diligence requirements of Caterpillar Mining Financing and other financial institutions whom have expressed interest in providing mine financing. The Bankable Feasibility study will include a comprehensive Environmental and Geo-Technical Study in preparation for finalizing mine design parameters and as a prerequisite for future project financing. Funds will also be used to generate additional quantities of graphite concentrate in larger quantities (40-50 tonnes) to provide potential off-take partners with samples for product end-use evaluation and verification. A portion of the funds raised will be targeted for marketing initiatives, focused on raising the awareness and exposure of the Company to potential strategic off-take partners and retail and institutional investors. Particular focus will be paid to key markets in Asia, the Unites States and Europe.

21

It is expected that the Private Placement will be completed on or before January 31, 2014 and will consist of the issuance of up to 125,000,000 Subscription Receipts of the Company. Each Subscription Receipt will be automatically exercisable for units (the “Units”) of the Company upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions (as defined below). Each Unit will be comprised of one Share (a “Purchased Share”) and one-half of one Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one Common Share at a per share price which will be approximately 50% greater than the subscription price (and will be at a premium to the prevailing market price at the time of pricing of the securities to be sold in the Private Placement, and will not be less than CAD $0.14) until the date that is eighteen (18) months from the date of issuance.

The maximum number of Subscription Receipts to be issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be a total of 125,000,000. In addition, the Company may issue Broker Warrants (as defined below) to an Agent (as defined below) or as partial finder’s fees in an amount to be determined but not to exceed 7,500,000 Broker Warrants. The total number of securities potentially issuable pursuant to the Private Placement, assuming the maximum number of Subscription Receipts are issued, the Subscription Receipts are automatically exercised upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions (as defined below), all Warrants partially comprising the Units are exercised and the maximum number of Broker Warrants are issued and all such Broker Warrants are exercised, is 195,000,000 Shares, representing 101% of the current issued and outstanding Shares prior to completion of the Private Placement on a non-diluted basis.

The number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to each Subscription Receipt, Warrant and Broker Warrant will be subject to standard adjustment provisions in the event that the Company undertakes a capital or corporate reorganization, share consolidation, stock dividend, or other capital restructuring transaction.

The Company may retain the services of an investment banker (the "Agents") to assist it with the Private Placement, but at this time has not yet done so. In the event an Agent is not retained, the Private Placement will be conducted on a non-brokered basis. The closing of the Private Placement of Subscription Receipts is expected to take place by the end of November , 2013 or such other date or dates as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Agents (if any), provided, however, that the Private Placement shall not be completed after January 31, 2014. If an Agent is retained, the terms of engagement are expected to be on a commercially reasonable efforts basis and any commissions will be paid only upon and at the time of Escrow Release (as defined below). The Company expects to pay a negotiated commission based on a percentage of the gross proceeds of the issue and sale of the Subscription Receipts and to issue warrants (the “Broker Warrants”) to acquire that number of Shares that is equal to a negotiated percentage of the number of Subscription Receipts sold pursuant to the Private Placement. The Broker Warrants will be exercisable for a period of eighteen (18) months following the issuance thereof at a per warrant exercise price based on the same terms as warrants issued pursuant to the Private Placement. If an Agent is retained, the terms of the Private Placement will be subject to the provisions of a definitive agency agreement (the "Agency Agreement") to be entered into among the Company and the Agent which shall contain standard market out, disaster out, regulatory out and material adverse change out clauses until the date of closing of the Private Placement and other industry standard provisions. The Subscription Receipts will be issued pursuant to a subscription receipt agreement entered into among the Company, the Agent and a licensed Canadian trust company or other escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”). The gross proceeds of the Offering (the "Escrowed Funds") will be held in escrow and will be released to the Company or as otherwise directed by the Company (the “Escrow Release”), together with any interest thereon, and the Subscription Receipts automatically exercised and the Common Shares and Warrants comprising the Units issued to the purchasers of the Subscription Receipts (the “Purchasers”) if, on or before the date that is 120 days following the closing of the Private Placement (the “Escrow Release Deadline”), the shareholders of the Company have approved the Private Placement Resolution (set out below), and all other escrow release conditions, as may be agreed upon between the Company and the Agents (collectively with the shareholder approval of the Private Placement Resolution, the “Escrow Release Conditions”). In the event the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied on or before the Escrow Release Deadline, the Subscription Receipts will be void and of no further force or effect and the Escrowed Funds will be returned to the Purchasers.

The following Insiders of the Company are expected to participate in the Private Placement on the same basis as the arm’s-length Purchasers: Craig Scherba, President, the Chief Operating Officer and a Director of the Company (up to 500,000 Subscription Receipts, the underlying shares of which represent 0.39% of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Company prior to the completion of the Private Placement); Peter Liabotis, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (up to 500,000 Subscription Receipts, the underlying shares of which represent 0.39% of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Company prior to the completion of the Private Placement); Brent Nykoliation, Senior Vice President of the Corporation (up to 500,000 Subscription Receipts the underlying shares of which represent 0.39% of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Company prior to the completion of the Private Placement); Richard Schler, the Chief Executive Officer and a Director of the Company (up to 500,000 Subscription Receipts, the underlying shares of which represent 0.39% of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Company prior to the completion of the Private Placement), and Quentin Yarie, a Director of the Company (up to 400,000 Subscription Receipts, the underlying shares of which represent 0.31% of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Company prior to the completion of the Private Placement). The maximum number of Shares of the Company issuable to Insiders pursuant to the Private Placement (after exercise of the Subscription Receipts and the Warrants) will be equal to 1.83% of the total number of issued and outstanding Shares of the Company, without taking into consideration Shares issued to any other purchasers under the Private Placement.

22

The Private Placement will not result in a change of control of the Company, nor will any new insiders be created as a result of the Private Placement.

Requirement for Shareholder Approval

Sections 604(a)(i) and 607(g)(i) of the TSX Company Manual require that shareholder approval be obtained for any private placement conducted at a discount to the market price where the number of shares being issued or issuable exceeds 25% of the non-diluted number of shares outstanding prior to the completion of the private placement. The Private Placement will be deemed to be conducted at a discount to the market price since the Company is proposing to issue Units comprised of Shares and warrants to acquire additional Shares in an amount totalling more than 25% of the non-diluted number of Shares outstanding prior to the Private Placement. Accordingly, the rules of the TSX require that the Private Placement and the issuance of Shares pursuant to the Private Placement (including on exercise of the Warrants) issued to Purchasers pursuant to the Private Placement be approved by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders.

The Private Placement Resolution

At the Meeting, the Shareholders will be asked to consider and vote upon the Private Placement Resolution, which, in accordance with the rules of the TSX, will authorize the Company to complete the Private Placement and in particular, will result in the automatic exercise of the Subscription Receipts upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions and authorize the issuance of Shares and Warrants comprising the Units pursuant to the Private Placement, as well as the issuance of the Broker Warrants . The full text of the Private Placement Resolution is as follows:

"BE IT RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution of the shareholders Company, that:

1. the issuance by the Company to the Purchasers, on a private placement basis, of up to 125,000,000 Subscription Receipts on or before January 31, 2014, the issuance of up to 125,000,000 Purchased Shares and up to 62,500,000 Warrants upon exercise of the Subscription Receipts, 62,500,000 Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and up to 7,500,000 Shares on exercise of the Broker Warrants, all of which total in the aggregate more than 25% of the issued and outstanding Shares, on a non-diluted basis, immediately prior to completion of the Private Placement, is hereby ratified, confirmed and approved.

2. any director or officer of the Company be and is hereby authorized to do all things and execute all instruments necessary or desirable to give effect to this ordinary resolution.

3. notwithstanding that this ordinary resolution has been duly passed by the shareholders, the board of directors of the Company may, in its sole discretion, decide not to act on this resolution without further approval of the Shareholders."

The Private Placement Resolution is an ordinary resolution of the shareholders and, to be valid, it must be approved by a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders present in person or by proxy at the Meeting.Unless otherwise directed, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy, if named as proxy, intend to vote for approval of the foregoing resolution.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors recommends that the Shareholders vote in favour of the Private Placement Resolution.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES


Corporate Governance

In Proposal 5,accordance with Canadian National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices ("NI 58-101"), the Company is providingrequired to disclose annually its corporate governance practices. The Board and management consider good corporate governance to be central to the effective and efficient operation of the Company. The Board is committed to sound corporate governance practices, which are both in the interest of its shareholders and contribute to effective and efficient decision making. The Board is of the view that the Company's approach to corporate governance is appropriate for its current size and resources, but will monitor its approach as it progresses in its business plans. The Company will periodically monitor and refine such practices as the size and scope of its operations increase. The Board regularly reviews, evaluates and modifies its governance program to ensure it is of the highest standard.

The Board is satisfied that the Company's governance plan is consistent with legal and stock exchange requirements.

Board of Directors

At the last meeting of stockholders held on December 16, 2014, the following individuals were elected as the Company's directors: V. Peter Harder, John Sanderson, Richard E. Schler, Craig Scherba, Quentin Yarie, Robin Borley, Albert A. Thiess, Jr., Dean Comand and Dalton Larson. Subsequently, Peter Harder was named Chairman and John Sanderson was named Vice-Chairman.

Since the last meeting of stockholders held on December 16, 2014, the Board has met six times.  All directors, except Mr. Yarie and Borley attended all six Board meetings. Mr. Yarie and Borley each attended five meetings.

Committees

The Company's Board has five committees: the Audit Committee, Disclosure Committee, Nomination Committee, Compensation Committee and Capital Projects Committee.

·Audit Committee:
The audit committee is a key component of the Company's commitment to maintaining a higher standard of corporate responsibility. This committee consists of Albert A. Thiess Jr., Dean Comand and John Sanderson, all of whom are financially literate (see biographies under "Nominees" section above) and independent as per the independence standards of the NYSE Amex in the United States of America and as per the standards of NI 58-101 in Canada (each are independent directors as they do not have involvement in the day-to-day operations of the Company).

The audit committee assists our Board in its oversight of the Company's accounting and financial reporting processes and the annual audits of the Company's financial statements, including (i) the quality and integrity of the Company's financial statements, (ii) the Company's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements in both Canada and the United States of America, (iii) the independent auditors' qualifications and independence, and (iv) the performance of the Company's internal audit functions and independent auditors, as well as other matters which may come before it as directed by the Board. Further, the audit committee, to the extent it deems necessary or appropriate, among its several other responsibilities, shall: (1) be responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, termination and oversight of the work of any independent auditor engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services for the Company; (2) discuss the annual audited financial statements and the quarterly unaudited financial statements with management and, if necessary the independent auditor prior to their filing with the SEC in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q; (3) review with the Company's financial management on a periodic basis (a) issues regarding accounting principles and financial statement presentations, including any significant changes in the company's selection or application of accounting principles, and (b) the effect of any regulatory and accounting initiatives, as well as off-balance sheet structures, on the financial statements of the company; (4) monitor the Company's policies for compliance with federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations and the Company's policies on corporate conduct; (5) maintain open, continuing and direct communication between the Board, the committee and both the company's independent auditors and its internal auditors; and (6) monitor our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and compliance with federal, state and local laws and regulations, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

·Disclosure Committee:
The Board has adopted a Disclosure Policy and created a Disclosure Committee. This committee consists of the Chairman, the President and Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the Senior Vice President of Corporate Development.


The majority of the Committee members must approve all disclosure made by the Company with such majority being made up of at least two directors.  The objective of the Disclosure Policy is to ensure that communications with the investing public are timely, factual and accurate, and broadly disseminated in accordance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements.  The Disclosure Policy extends to all employees of the Company, the Board, those authorized to speak on behalf of the Company and all other insiders of the Company.  It covers disclosures in documents filed with securities regulators, financial and non-financial disclosure, including management's discussion and analysis, written statements made in the Company's annual and interim reports, news releases, letters to stockholders, presentations by senior management, information on the Company's web site and other electronic communications. It extends to oral statements made in meetings and telephone conversations with analysts and investors, media interviews, speeches and press conferences.

·Nomination Committee:
The Company has established a director nomination committee to appoint and assesses the performance of directors.  This committee consists of John Sanderson (Chair of this Committee), Peter Harder and Albert A. Thiess, Jr.

The nominating committee seeks to attract and maintain directors with business expertise, and in particular, knowledge of mineral development, geology, investment banking, corporate law and finance.  Further, the Company seeks to have the right mix of these disciplines.  Nominations tend to be the result of recruitment efforts by management and directors, which are then presented to the nominating committee and then to the Board for consideration. Messrs. Sanderson, Harder, and Thiess are independent as per the independence standards of the NYSE Amex in the United States of America and the standards of National Instrument 58-101 in Canada.

·Compensation Committee:
The Company has established a compensation committee to determine the compensation for the Company's directors and officers.  This committee consists of John Sanderson (Chair of this Committee), Peter Harder, Albert A. Thiess, Jr. and Dalton Larson.  Messrs. Sanderson, Harder, and Thiess are independent as per the independence standards of the NYSE Amex in the United States of America and the standards of NI 58-101 in Canada.

The committee determines compensation based on industry standards, the employee or consultant's level of experience, and the Company's financial situation.

·Capital Projects Committee:
The Capital Projects Committee was formed in 2010 to advance the Madagascar Molo and Green Giant Project.  This committee consists of the Chief Financial Officer, Albert A. Thiess, Jr., Craig Scherba and Dean Comand.

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Company does not provide a formal orientation and education program for new directors.  New directors are given an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the Company by visiting the Company's corporate offices, meeting with other directors, reviewing the rules and regulations of the stock exchanges where the Company's shares are listed, and reviewing the Company's by-laws and related documents.  Moreover, new directors are invited to speak with the Company's solicitors, auditors and other service providers to become familiar with their legal responsibilities.


Ethical Business Conduct

The role of the Board is to oversee the conduct of the Company's business, to set corporate policy and to supervise management, which is responsible to the Board for the day-to-day conduct of business.  Material transactions are addressed at the Board level. The Board discharges five specific responsibilities as part of its stewardship responsibility.  These are: (1) Strategic Planning Process: given the Company's size, the strategic plan is carried out directly by management, with input from and assistance of the Board; (2) Managing Risk: the Board directly oversees most aspects of the business of the Company and thus, does not require elaborate systems or numerous committees to effectively monitor and manage the principal risks of all aspects of the business of the Company; (3) Appointing, Training, and Monitoring Senior Management: no elaborate system of selection, training and assessment of Management has been established, given the operations and size of the Company; however, the Board closely monitors Management's performance, which is measured against the overall strategic plan, through reports by and regular meetings with management; (4) Communication Policy: the Company has a disclosure committee and formal disclosure policy allowing it to communicate effectively and accurately with its stockholders, other stakeholders, and the public generally through statutory filings and news releases; the stockholders are also given an opportunity to votemake comments or suggestions at stockholder meetings; these comments and suggestions are then factored into the Board's decisions; and (5) Ensuring the integrity of the Company's Internal Control and Management Information System:  given the involvement of the Board in operations, the reports from and the meetings with management, the Board can effectively track and monitor the implementation of approved strategies.

Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to approve,its directors, officers, and employees, including its principal executive officers, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller or persons performing similar functions.  The Financial Code of Business Conduct was filed as Exhibit 14.1 to our Annual Report on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation of our named executive officers. In this Proposal 6, we are asking our stockholders to cast a non-binding advisory vote regarding the frequency of future executive compensation advisory votes. Stockholders may voteForm 10-QSB for a frequency of every one, two, or three years, or may abstain from casting a vote.

June 30, 2004 as filed on May 19, 2004.


The Board of Directors will take into consideration the outcome of this vote in making a determination about the frequency of future executive compensation advisory votes. However, because this vote is advisory and non-binding, the Board of Directors may decide that it is in the best interests of our stockholders and the Company to hold the advisory vote to approve executive compensation more or less frequently. In the future, we will propose an advisory vote on the frequency of the executive compensation advisory vote at least once every six calendar years.

After careful consideration, the Board of Directors believes that the executive compensation advisory vote should be held every three years, and therefore our Board of Directors recommends that you vote for a frequency of every three years for future executive compensation advisory votes.

Relationship with Management


The Company believes that a once-every-three-years executive compensation advisory vote will allow our stockholders to evaluate executive compensation on a more thorough, longer-term basis than an annual or biennial vote. The Company will take a long-term view of executive compensation and encourages its stockholders to do the same. Too-frequent executive compensation advisory votes may encourage short-term analysis of executive compensation. In addition, an annual or biennial executive compensation advisory vote may not allow stockholders sufficient time to evaluate the effect of changes made to the Company’s executive compensation program. In determining to recommend that stockholders vote for a frequency of once every three years, the Company considered how an advisory vote at this frequency will provide stockholders sufficient time to evaluate the effectiveness of our executive compensation policies and practices in the context of our long-term business results rather than emphasizing short-term and potentially one-time fluctuations in our business results or executive compensation. In addition, a vote every three years will provide the Company sufficient time to be responsive to stockholder views.

The Board of Directors believes that holding the executive compensation advisory vote every three years is in the best interestsPresident & Chief Executive Officer of the Company is a member of the Board, as is usual in a company of this size.  The Board feels that this is not an impediment to the proper discharge of its responsibilities.  Interaction between members of management and the Board, inside and outside Board meetings, ensures that the Board is informed and the Board members' experience utilized by management.  The Board remains cognizant to corporate governance issues and seeks to set up structures to ensure the effective discharge of its stockholdersresponsibilities without creating additional costs.  The Board is committed to ensuring the Company's long-term viability, and recommends votingthe well-being of its employees and of the communities in which it operates.  The Board has also adopted a policy of permitting individual directors, under appropriate circumstances, to engage legal, financial or other advisors at the Company's expense.

(c)Upon termination of Optionee's employment as described in this Section 9, or otherwise, any Option (or portion thereof) not previously vested or not yet exercisable pursuant to Section 8 of this Plan shall be immediately canceled.

10.Adjustments.
(a)If at any time while this Plan is in effect or unexercised Options are outstanding, there shall be any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding Shares through the declaration of a stock dividend or through any recapitalization resulting in a stock split, combination or exchange of Shares (other than any such exchange or issuance of Shares through which Shares are issued to effect an acquisition of another business or entity or the Company's purchase of Shares to exercise a "call" purchase option), then and in such event:
(i)appropriate adjustment shall be made in the maximum number of Shares available for grant under this Plan, so that the same percentage of the Company's issued and outstanding Shares shall continue to be subject to being so optioned;
(ii)appropriate adjustment shall be made in the number of Shares and the exercise price per Share thereof then subject to any outstanding Option, so that the same percentage of the Company's issued and outstanding Shares shall remain subject to purchase at the same aggregate exercise price; and
(iii)such adjustments shall be made by the Committee, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.
(b)Subject to the prior consent of the TSX and the specific terms of any Option, the Committee may change the terms of Options outstanding under this Plan, with respect to the option price or the number of Shares subject to the Options, or both, when, in the Committee's sole discretion, such adjustments become appropriate by reason of a corporate transaction described in Subsection 10(d) hereof, or otherwise, provided that any adjustment to an outstanding Option held by a U.S. Optionee will be made in a manner that complies with, and does not create adverse tax consequences under, section 409A of the Code.
(c)Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the issuance by the Company of shares of its capital stock of any class, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of its capital stock of any class, either in connection with a direct or underwritten sale, or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor or purchase such Shares, or upon conversion of obligations of the Company into such Shares or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of or exercise price of Shares then subject to outstanding Options granted under this Plan.
(d)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the existence of outstanding Options granted under this Plan shall not affect in any manner the right or power of the Company to make, authorize or consummate:
(i)any or all adjustments, reclassifications, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company's capital structure or its business;
(ii)any merger or consolidation of the Company or to which the Company is a party;

(vii)any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.
(e)The Optionee shall receive written notice within a reasonable time prior to the consummation of such action advising the Optionee of any of the foregoing.  The Committee may, in the exercise of its sole discretion, in such instances declare that any Option shall terminate as of a date fixed by the Board and give each Optionee the right to exercise his or her Option.

11.Transferability.
No Option or stock appreciation right granted hereunder shall be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, disposed or otherwise transferred by the Optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and no Option or stock appreciation right shall be exercisable during the Optionee's lifetime by any person other than the Optionee.

12.Issuance of Shares.
As a condition of any sale or issuance of Shares upon exercise of any Option, the Committee may require such agreements or undertakings, if any, as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable to assure compliance with any such law or regulation including, but not limited to, the following:
(i)a representation and warranty by the Optionee to the Company, at the time any Option is exercised, that he  or she is acquiring the Shares to be issued to him for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any such Shares; and
(ii)an agreement and undertaking to comply with all of the terms, restrictions and provisions set forth in any then applicable stockholders' agreement relating to the Shares, including, without limitation, any restrictions on transferability, any rights of first refusal and any option of the Company to "call" or purchase such Shares under then applicable agreements, and
(iii)any restrictive legend or legends, to be embossed or imprinted on Share certificates, that are, in the discretion of the Committee, necessary or appropriate to comply with the provisions of any securities law or other restriction applicable to the issuance of the Shares.
(iv)if and for so long as the Shares are listed on the TSX, the exercise price is reduced to Discounted Market Price, Options will be subject to a four month hold period commencing from the date of grant and any Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option prior to the expiry of the hold period will bear the following TSX legend (or similar wording, with the same effect):

"Without prior written approval of the TSX and compliance with all applicable securities legislation, the securities represented by this certificate may not be sold, transferred, hypothecated or otherwise traded on or through the facilities of the TSX or otherwise in Canada or to or for the benefit of a Canadian resident until [four months + 1 day from the date of grant.]"

13.Stock Appreciation Rights.
The Committee may grant stock appreciation rights to Employees in tandem with Options that have been or are granted under the Plan. A stock appreciation right shall entitle the holder to receive, with respect to each Share as to which the right is exercised, payment in an amount equal to the excess of the Share's Fair Market Value on the date the right is exercised over its Fair Market Value on the date the right was granted.  Such payment will be made in cash.

f.accelerate the exercise date of any Option; and
g.make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan, including granting, pricing and cancelling Options.
c)The Committee, from time to time, may adopt rules and regulations for carrying out the purposes of this Plan.  The Committee's determinations and its interpretation and construction of any provision of this Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all Optionees and any holders of any Options granted under this Plan.

b)An Incentive Stock Option may be granted only to a person who is an employee of the Company or of any parent or subsidiary of the Company (within the meaning of section 424 of the Code).
c)Incentive Stock Options are subject to the limitations contained in Section 9(a) of this Plan and the applicable Option Agreement.  In addition, in order to retain its status as an Incentive Stock Option, the following rules related to timing of exercise of the Incentive Stock Option following termination of employment apply, and failure to exercise within the applicable time period will result in loss of status as an Incentive Stock Option.
i.If a U.S. Optionee who has been granted an Incentive Stock Option ceases to be an employee of the Company (or by a subsidiary of the Company within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code) for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary, other than death, permanent disability or just cause, then in order for the Option to retain Incentive Stock Option status, the Incentive Stock Option must be exercised by the earlier of (a) the date that is three months after the date of cessation of employment or (b) the expiration of the term of such Incentive Stock Option.  For the purposes of this Section, the employment of a U.S. Optionee who has been granted an Incentive Stock Option will not be considered interrupted or terminated upon (a) sick leave, military leave or any other leave of absence approved by the Committee that does not exceed ninety (90) days in the aggregate; provided, however, that if reemployment upon the expiration of any such leave is guaranteed by contract or applicable law, such ninety (90) day limitation will not apply, or (b) a transfer from one office of the Company (or of any subsidiary) to another office of the Company (or of any parent or subsidiary) or a transfer between the Company and any parent or subsidiary.
ii.If a U.S. Optionee who has been granted Incentive Stock Options ceases to be employed by the Company (or by any parent or subsidiary of the Company within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code) because of a permanent disability, such U.S. Optionee may exercise such Incentive Stock Option (to the extent such Incentive Stock Option was exercisable on the date of permanent disability at any time prior to the earlier of (a) the expiration date of the Option established on the date of grant and set forth in the Option Agreement; or (b) the date that is later of (i) the expiration of a period not to exceed one year (such period to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion) after the date on which the U.S. Optionee's employment is terminated by reason of a mental or physical disability (within the meaning of Code Section 22(e)) as determined by a medical doctor satisfactory to the Committee, or (ii) one year after the date on which the U.S. Optionee shall die if such death shall occur during such period.
d)In the event that this Plan is not approved by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or after the date on which this Plan is adopted by the Board, any Incentive Stock Option granted under this Plan will automatically be deemed to be a Non-Statutory Stock Option.

16.Interpretation.
(a)This Plan shall be administered and interpreted so that all Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan will qualify as Incentive Stock Options under Section 422 of the Code.  If any provision of this Plan should be held invalid for the granting of Incentive Stock Options or illegal for any reason, such determination shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof, and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provision had never been included in this Plan.
(b)This Plan shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada.
(c)Headings contained in this Plan are for convenience only and shall in no manner be construed as part of this Plan or affect the meaning or interpretation of any part of this Plan.

a.a reduction in the exercise price or purchase price benefiting an insider of the issuer;
b.any amendment to remove or to exceed the insider participation limit;
c.an increase to the maximum number of securities issuable, either as a fixed number or a fixed percentage of the listed issuer's outstanding capital represented by such securities; and
d.amendments to an amending provision within a security based compensation arrangement.
b)Subject to the limitations in Section 17(a) and TSX approval, the exercise price per Optioned Share under an Option may be reduced at the discretion of the Board or Committee only if:
a.disinterested shareholder approval of the shareholders of the Company is obtained for any reduction in the exercise price under an Option held by an Insider of the Company; and
b.at least six months has elapsed since the later of the date such Option was granted and the date the exercise price for such Option was last amended; and
c.provided that if the exercise price is reduced to the then Discounted Market Price (as such term is defined in the TSX Manual), the TSX four month hold period will apply from the date of the amendment and further provided that no such conditions will apply in the case of an adjustment made under Section 10(a) hereof.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the exercise price of an outstanding Option held by a U.S. Optionee will not be reduced below the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of such modification of the Option.
c)Subject to the limitations in Section 17(a) and 17(b) and the policies of the TSX, the Board or the Committee may from time to time amend this Plan or any Option without the consent or approval of the stockholders of the Company;
d)Except to the extent provided in Section 9, no amendment or suspension of this Plan or any Option issued hereunder shall substantially impair any Option previously granted to any Optionee without the consent of such Optionee.
