Dear fellow shareholder,

MFC Industrial Ltd. ("MFC") faces a proxy contest at its 2013 annual shareholder's meeting (the "Meeting") that has serious consequences for MFC's future. This proxy contest is about stopping an unlawful takeover of MFC by Peter R. Kellogg, IAT Reinsurance Company Ltd., and certain of their affiliates (the "Kellogg Group"), a dissident group that is attempting to put its interests above those of all other shareholders. The Kellogg Group wants control of your company without paying you a "control premium". For now, the Board has halted the Kellogg Group's unlawful takeover of MFC, but it needs your help to ensure that MFC is able to successfully defend itself.

At the Meeting, MFC is asking shareholders to vote for the election of its two (2) class II director nominees, Dr. Shuming Zhao and Ravin Prakash, both of whom are current directors of MFC. The Board has fixed the number of directors at six (6) and, accordingly, shareholders only need to elect two (2) class II directors at the Meeting.

Your board believes that the Kellogg Group's purpose in proposing its own nominees at the Meeting is the final step in a scheme designed to take control of MFC. Shareholders should be wary of the Kellogg Group's intentions as it seems to be intending to raid MFC's substantial assets for its own purposes.

Reasons to Support MFC and its Nominees

We have a demonstrated record of generating superior returns for shareholders. This includes a total return on our shares of over 500% over the past 10 fiscal years and a compound annual growth rate of 20.1% over the same period. MFC's book value, which we view value as a key indicator of our overall financial performance, increased by 307% from $180.6 million to $735.3 million between December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2013, and our total assets also increased by 356% from $282.7 million to about $1.3 billion over the same period.
We have demonstrated a successful record of identifying and executing accretive transactions to build shareholder value. In 2012, this included a successful expansion of our commodities platform into natural gas, and the acquisition of a controlling interest in 2 global commodities supply chain businesses. In 2013, we announced that MFC entered into an agreement with an established oil and gas company whereby they have committed to spending a minimum of $50 million to drill a total of 12 net wells over three years on certain of our undeveloped lands.

Reasons to Oppose the Kellogg Proposals

Kellogg's unlawful takeover has violated securities laws in order to avoid paying you a control premium

The Kellogg Group has committed numerous, egregious and ongoing violations of Canadian and United States securities laws. Since at least 1999, the Kellogg Group has been an "insider" under Canadian securities laws by acquiring more than 10% of MFC's shares, but it left MFC shareholders and the markets in the dark regarding its subsequent acquisitions and intentions in violation of "insider", "early warning" and "takeover bid" laws. Additionally, the Kellogg Group has unlawfully acquired MFC shares while being prohibited from doing so under Canadian "early warning" requirements.

Page 2

The Kellogg Group, which describes itself as "not shareholder activists", has, for some time, been conducting a unlawful takeover of MFC by purchasing MFC shares when it was prohibited from doing so without informing shareholders as required by applicable law.
Under Canadian takeover bid rules, absent an exemption, a person acquiring 20% or more of an issuer's outstanding shares must make a formal takeover bid to all shareholders. It now appears that the Kellogg Group surpassed this 20% threshold in 2000 and has thereafter made numerous acquisitions to increase its ownership to 33% without making a formal takeover bid to all shareholders. In most cases, shareholders receive a significant premium to the current share price in exchange for handing over control of their company, but the Kellogg Group has failed to pay shareholders anything for its control position.
MFC believes that the Kellogg Group may likely have triggered MFC's 2003 shareholder rights plan (the "2003 Rights Plan") between 2003 and 2006, but due to the Kellogg Group's failure to disclose the details of its acquisitions, MFC shareholders did not know and could not have known that the 2003 Rights Plan might have been triggered, and as a result, were effectively deprived of their rights under the plan. The Kellogg Group may have unfairly deprived MFC shareholders their rights under the 2003 Rights Plan to purchase MFC shares at a 50% discount to the market price, representing an economic loss to other shareholders potentially in excess of hundreds of millions of dollars and unfairly maintained its share position in MFC which, assuming shareholders exercised their rights in full, would have been diluted to about only 3% of the outstanding MFC shares.
The Kellogg Proposals would have effected ade facto change of control of MFC without paying a control premium and without giving other shareholders a chance to sell their shares into a bid. As compared to the Kellogg Group's 33% ownership interest in MFC, the Kellogg Proposals seeks the appointment of approximately 75% of the Board.

The Kellogg Group's proxy contest is selfishly motivated and unrelated to MFC's "strategic direction"

In its November 25, 2013 news release, the Kellogg Group made abstract references to its ostensible concerns regarding the "strategic direction" of MFC. These concerns are specious and self-serving and only came about after MFC adopted a shareholder rights plan and took other steps to protect itself against the Kellogg Group's unlawful accumulation of shares. If the Kellogg Group's concerns were legitimate, why would the Kellogg Group purchase an additional 1,606,241 MFC shares between April and October, 2013 for approximately $13.1 million? Interestingly, these purchases increased the Kellogg Group's holdings to 33% of the MFC shares, which is coincidentally the threshold necessary to defeat any transaction requiring special majority approval.
The Kellogg Group may well be facing a liquidity crunch resulting from its tax scheme that was rejected by the IRS, and appears to be after MFC's assets. The Kellogg Group launched this proxy contest only after: (i) it paid in excess of $186 million to the IRS for back taxes and interest in June - October 2011; (ii) MFC rejected the Kellogg Group's request for a loan from MFC of $50 million in the third quarter of 2011; and (iii) the Kellogg Group's alternate dispute resolution was delayed indefinitely in November 2013.
If the Kellogg Proposals are successful, MFC believes the Kellogg Group nominees would dismiss MFC's existing legal actions against Mr. Kellogg for his blatant breaches of securities laws and the resulting damage it has caused MFC and its shareholders.

Page 3

The Kellogg Group lacks knowledge of MFC, its business and strategies

The Kellogg Group nominees have little or no relevant operational expertise running a commodities business, lack, for the most part, the international experience necessary to successfully run MFC's operations, and have little or no relevant public company experience.
The Kellogg Group has no strategic plan for MFC, and has not been transparent in its intentions for MFC's future.

The Kellogg proposals are dangerous

The Kellogg Proposals could be a change of control triggering an event of default under MFC's existing bank lines and arrangements with lenders, and could also trigger change of control provisions in MFC's other contracts with third parties and employment agreements with management.
The remaining directors whom the Kellogg Group is not seeking to replace are considering their positions in light of the proxy contest and, in the event that the Kellogg Group is successful, they may not wish to remain in their positions as directors of MFC. Should those directors decide to depart, MFC would have no continuity of directors going forward.
If the Kellogg Group nominees go in a direction incompatible with MFC's current strategy, management and other key employees may not wish to remain in their current positions and may instead wish to explore alternative opportunities, which could have a material adverse impact on MFC's business and operations.

The MFC Board has a clear strategy to build long-term value for your investment in MFC, and has created tremendous shareholder value in the past. MFC has outperformed its peers, even during period of troubled financial markets. There is no valid reason for a timely and costly proxy contest. Vote theWHITE proxy today to stop the Kellogg Group from unlawfully taking control of MFC and raiding its assets.

Regardless of the number of shares you own, we ask for your support by casting vote today by completing and returning ONLY the WHITE proxy. If you have any questions or need assistance in casting your vote or completing your WHITE proxy, please call Mackenzie Partners, Inc. within North America toll free at 1-800-322-2885, collect at (212) 929-5500, or by email at proxy@mackenziepartners.com.

Forward-Looking Information

Certain statements in this Circular are forward-looking statements, which reflect MFC's expectations regarding its future growth, results of operations, future corporate governance and performance and business prospects and opportunities. These forward-looking statements consist of statements that are not purely historical and include statements regarding MFC's proposed projects or its beliefs, plans, expectations or intentions regarding the future. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect MFC's current judgment regarding the direction of its business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein. No assurance can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will occur or, if they do occur, what benefits MFC will obtain from them.

These forward-looking statements reflect MFC's current views and are based on certain assumptions and speak only as of the date hereof. These assumptions, which include MFC's current expectations, estimates and assumptions about its business and the markets MFC operates in, the global economic environment, interest rates, commodities prices, exchange rates, proceedings and other types of claims and litigation involving MFC, unexpected change of control consequences, MFC's ability to identify, complete and finance additional acquisitions and sources of supply for its global commodity supply chain business, MFC's ability to manage its assets and operating costs, MFC's ability to maintain key personnel, MFC's ability to implement its business strategies and pursue business opportunities and financing alternatives after a state of uncertainty related to the Meeting, MFC's ability to pass certain resolutions at the Meeting, the costs involved with solicitation of proxies leading up to the Meeting and the voting results at the Meeting, may prove to be incorrect. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future results.

A number of risks and uncertainties could cause MFC's actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including those described herein and in MFC's interim reports filed by MFC with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and Canadian securities regulators and its 2012 annual report on Form 20-F. Such forward-looking statements should therefore be construed in light of such factors. Shareholders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Other than in accordance with MFC's legal or regulatory obligations, MFC is not under any obligation and MFC expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Additional information about these and other assumptions, risks and uncertainties are set out in MFC's interim reports and annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the SEC and Canadian securities regulators.

Notice to Shareholders in the United States

The solicitation of proxies involves securities of an issuer located in Canada and is being effected in accordance with the relevant corporate and securities laws of Canada. The proxy solicitation rules under the United StatesSecurities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are not applicable to MFC or this solicitation, and this solicitation has been prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of the securities laws of the provinces of Canada. Shareholders should be aware that disclosure requirements under the securities laws of the provinces of Canada differ from the disclosure requirements under United States securities laws.

The enforcement by shareholders of civil liabilities under United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that MFC is existing under theBusiness Corporations Act (British Columbia), as amended (the "BCBCA"), certain of its directors and its executive officers are residents of Canada and other jurisdictions outside of the United States and a substantial portion of its assets and the assets of such persons are located outside the United States. Shareholders may not be able to sue a foreign company or its officers or directors in a foreign court for violations of United States federal securities laws. It may be difficult to compel a foreign company and its officers and directors to subject themselves to a judgment by a United States court.

PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT – VOTE ONLY YOURWHITE PROXY OR VIF TODAY

REASONS FOR THIS SOLICITATION

This proxy contest is about stopping a takeover of MFC's Board by Peter R. Kellogg, IAT Reinsurance Company Ltd. ("IAT") and certain of their affiliates (collectively, the "Kellogg Group"), a dissident group that is attempting to put its interests above those of all other shareholders. The Kellogg Group wants to complete its takeover of your company without paying you a "control premium". The Board has, for now, paused the Kellogg Group's unlawful takeover of MFC. Now, the Board needs your help to ensure that MFC is able to successfully defend itself and all of its shareholders.

At the Meeting, MFC is asking shareholders to vote for the election of two (2) Class II directors. MFC's nominees are Dr. Shuming Zhao and Ravin Prakash, both currently Class II directors of MFC. The Board has fixed the number of directors at six (6) and, accordingly, shareholders only need to elect two (2) Class II directors at the Meeting.

The Kellogg Group is trying to capture MFC's value for itself, at your expense. The Kellogg Proposals (as defined below) would let the Kellogg Group complete ade factotake-over of MFC without paying a "control premium" or otherwise affording shareholders the rights they are entitled to under securities laws. By doing so, the Kellogg Group is taking money directly from your pockets to line its own.

Your Board believes that the Kellogg Proposals are another step in a scheme ultimately designed to unlawfully and improperly take control of MFC's Board. Shareholders should be wary of the Kellogg Group's intentions as it may be intending to raid MFC's substantial assets for its own purposes. Shareholders should consider the following:

The Kellogg Group has committed numerous, egregious and ongoing violations of Canadian and United States securities laws. Since at least 1999, the Kellogg Group has been an "insider" under Canadian securities laws by acquiring more than 10% of MFC's shares, but it left MFC shareholders and the markets in the dark regarding its subsequent acquisitions and intentions in violation of "insider", "early warning" and "takeover bid" laws.Additionally, the Kellogg Group has unlawfully acquired MFC shares while being prohibited from doing so under Canadian "early warning" requirements. See "Reasons to Oppose the Kellogg Group Nominees" beginning at page 8 below.
The existing Board has a clear strategy to build long-term value for your investment in MFC and has created tremendous shareholder value in the past, includingachieving a compound annual growth rate on the MFC shares of 20.1% between December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2012. MFC's existing Board and management have generated strong returns and achieved impressive growth, while maintaining a strong balance sheet and financial discipline. There is no valid reason for a costly and disruptive proxy contest.
In its November 25, 2013 news release, the Kellogg Group made abstract, specious and self-serving references to its ostensible concerns regarding the "strategic direction" of MFC.Why would the Kellogg Group purchase an additional 1,606,241 MFC shares between April 2013 and October 2013 for approximately $13.1 million if its concerns were genuine? Interestingly, these purchases increased the Kellogg Group's holdings to 33% of theMFC shares, which is coincidentally the threshold necessary to defeat any transaction requiring special majority approval.
The Kellogg Group, which describes itself as "not shareholder activists", has, for some time, been conducting an unlawful takeover of MFC by purchasing MFC shares when it was prohibited from doing so and without informing shareholders as required by applicable law. On November 25, 2013, it provided notice of its intention to propose an increase of MFC's Board to eleven (11) directors and elect eight (8) directors at the Meeting (the "Kellogg Proposals").
If the Kellogg Proposals are successful, the Kellogg Group will complete ade factochange of control of MFC without paying a control premium and without giving other shareholders a chance to sell their shares into a bid.As compared to the Kellogg Group's 33% ownership interest in MFC, the Kellogg Group sought the appointment of approximately 75% of the Board through the Kellogg Proposals.
The Kellogg Group launched this proxy contest only after: (i) it paid in excess of $186 million to the IRS in or around June to November 2011; (ii) MFC declined the Kellogg Group's request for a loan from MFC of $50 million in the third quarter of 2011; and (iii) the Kellogg Group's alternative dispute resolution meeting with the IRS respecting its tax claims scheduled for November 2013 was delayed. The MFC Board believes that shareholders need to be wary of the Kellogg Group's intentions, as it appears that it wants to raid MFC's substantial assets for its own purposes.

The Kellogg Group could have worked with the existing Board to discuss any ostensible concerns it had regarding MFC's "strategic direction". Representatives of MFC have, on several occasions, requested the Kellogg Group to detail any such concerns. Instead, the Kellogg Group unnecessarily, and without notice, launched a proxy contest which hasalready disrupted MFC's operations. For example, since the announcement of the Kellogg Proposals, MFC's lenders have expressed concerns regarding a change of control of MFC's Board and the resulting uncertainty regarding the strategic direction of MFC. Shareholders should be concerned that a Kellogg Group board may raid or deplete MFC's assets, adversely affecting MFC's business, which is capital intensive and requires high liquidity levels. The Kellogg Group's proxy contest has also jeopardized advanced negotiations regarding two possible separate accretive acquisitions by MFC scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2013. These transactions could provide MFC with significant enhanced potential for near- and long-term growth.
The Kellogg Group nominees have little or no relevant operational expertise running a commodities business. For the most part, the nominees also lack the international experience necessary to successfully run MFC's operations. Additionally, the Kellogg Group nominees appear to have no significant recent experience as independent directors of a Canadian public company.
If the Kellogg Proposals are successful, MFC believes the Kellogg Group nominees would likely try to dismiss MFC's existing legal actions against Mr. Kellogg for his blatant breaches of securities laws and the resulting damage it has caused MFC and its shareholders.
The Kellogg Group has no strategic plan for MFC and has not been transparent in its intentions for MFC's future.
Changes in the Board as a result of the Kellogg Proposals could be a change of control and could trigger events of default under certain of MFC's existing credit agreements or cause lenders not to renew them on maturation.The Kellogg Group has provided no plan or assurance that it could fund or arrange replacement financing. The Kellogg Proposals could also trigger change of control provisions in one or more of MFC's other contracts with third parties and in its employment agreements with MFC's management.
The remaining directors whom the Kellogg Group is not seeking to replace are considering their positions in light of the proxy contest and, in the event that the Kellogg Group is successful, they may not wish to remain in their positions as directors of MFC. Should those directors decide to depart, MFC would have no continuity of directors going forward.
If the Kellogg Group nominees go in a direction incompatible with MFC's current strategy, senior management and other key employees may not wish to remain in their current positions and may instead wish to explore alternative opportunities, which could have a material adverse impact on MFC's business and operations.

REASONS TO SUPPORT MFC AND ITS NOMINEES

The existing Board and management of MFC are implementing a long-term growth strategy.

MFC is a global commodities supply chain company, which sources and delivers commodities and materials to clients, with an expertise on the financing and risk management aspects of the businesses. MFC's strategic vision is to expand its commodities platform through strategic acquisitions and investments, including the acquisition of commodities sources for integration into its existing commodities trading platform.

MFC considers investment opportunities where: (i) its existing participation in the marketing and production of commodities provides expert insight; (ii) it can obtain a satisfactory return of future capital investment; and (iii) such investment integrates with its business. MFC's philosophy is to utilize its financial strength to realize the commercial potential of assets in markets where it has a comprehensive understanding of the drivers of value.

In executing MFC's growth strategy, MFC is committed to maintaining a financially disciplined approach to new investments and acquisitions in order to maintain a strong balance sheet and financial ratios.

The existing Board and management of MFC have a demonstrated record of identifying and executing accretive transactions to build shareholder value.

In implementing MFC's long-term growth strategy, its existing Board and management have identified and completed transactions that have enhanced shareholder value. In 2012, MFC completed the following strategic acquisitions:

Expansion into NaturalGas – In September 2012, MFC expanded its commodities platform into natural gas by successfully completing the acquisition of Compton Petroleum Corporation, a company active in the production and processing of natural gas, natural gas liquids and, to a much lesser degree, crude oil.
Increased our Global Reach – In November 2012, MFC acquired a controlling interest in each of ACC Resources Inc. and Possehl Mexico S.A. de C.V., which are global commodities supply chain businesses with a presence in the North American and Latin American markets and a focus on refractory and ceramic materials and other products that were new to MFC's commodities platform.

These and other opportunities have allowed MFC to enlarge its commodities footprint, enter new markets and expand its supply chain platform, offering growth and the potential for significant contributions to the economics of the company in a recovering economy.

Going forward, MFC continues to evaluate additional opportunities to further enhance shareholder value and grow its integrated commodities business. However, MFC is also focused on streamlining and enhancing its existing operations.

As previously disclosed, additional time and work will be needed in order to extract the full value of these assets. MFC has made significant efforts to realize on the value of these recent acquisitions and integrate such businesses into its global commodities operations. Most recently, for example, in November 2013, MFC announced that it entered into an agreement with an established oil and gas company in Alberta, Canada, whereby such company committed to spending a minimum of C$50 million to drill a total of 12 net wells over an initial three-year term primarily on MFC's undeveloped lands. The transaction provided MFC the opportunity to develop these properties without taking an investment risk and, at the same time, provided possible future sources of revenue expansion through royalty and processing arrangements.

The existing Board and management of MFC have a demonstrated record of generating strong returns for shareholders.

The following table sets out the compound annual growth rate of MFC's common shares between December 31, 2002 and 2012. A $1,000 investment in our common shares on December 31, 2002 would have increased to over $6,200 as at December 31, 2012. The compound annual growth rate of MFC's shares was 20.1% over the 10-year period, compared to 4.9% for the S&P 500 Index over the same period.

$1,000 Invested in MFC in December 2002 Would Have Grown to More Than $6,200 by December 2012 –
A Compound Annual Growth Rate of 20.1% Versus Just 4.9% for the S&P Index Over the Same Period

____________________

Note:
Based on year end closing prices and the assumptions that: (i) $1,000 was invested in MFC shares on December 31, 2002; (ii) all in-kind distributions were held until the end of the period; (iii) all cash distributions were held and not re-invested; and (iv) the cash balance was utilized to fully exercise rights under our 2010 rights offering.

We view our net book value per share as a key indicator of our overall financial performance and growth. Between December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2013, our net book value increased by 307% from $180.6 million to $735.3 million. During the same period, our total assets increased by approximately 356% from $282.7 million to $1.3 billion. Such increases were computed after the share and cash distributions during the periods from December 31, 2002 to September 30, 2013.

The record of performance of the existing Board and management includes:

Generating Superior Returns through Spinouts –The existing Board and management of MFC have a strong record of generating superior returns for our shareholders by distributing operating businesses to shareholders. Most recently, MFC distributed shares of KHD Humboldt Wedag International AG ("KHD") to its shareholders in 2010. On October 11, 2013, AVIC International Engineering Holdings Pte. Ltd. and certain other parties announced an offer to acquire all of the shares of KHD for cash consideration of €6.45 per share.
Cash Dividend Policy – In 2011, our existing Board adopted an annual cash dividend policy. Since then, as a result of our strong financial position, we have been able to pay increasingly attractive dividends to our shareholders. In 2011, 2012 and 2013, our existing Board declared and paid annual cash dividends to our shareholders of $0.20, $0.22 and $0.24 per share, respectively. Our annual cash dividend for 2013 represents a yield of approximately 2.8% (based on MFC's share price at the end of 2012), as compared to an annual dividend yield of approximately 2.5% for the NYSE Composite Index in 2012.
Maintaining a Strong Balance Sheet – As a result of the fiscal discipline of MFC's existing Board and management, MFC has maintained a strong balance sheet. As at September 30, 2013, MFC had cash, cash equivalents and securities of $293.5 million, working capital of $398.8 million and total debt of $186.5 million. MFC's long term debt-to-equity ratio was 0.2 as at September 30, 2013.
Financial Discipline – The existing Board and management of MFC are focused on maintaining fiscal discipline. This has resulted in our strong financial position and allowed MFC to avoid dilutive transactions to finance its growth.
Below Market Compensation Arrangements – MFC's existing Board has maintained responsible executive compensation practices. MFC's executive compensation levels are generally lower than compensation paid by its peer group.

REASONS TO OPPOSE THE KELLOGG GROUP NOMINEES

Kellogg unlawfully acquired a control position in MFC and now wants to seize control of the MFC Board without paying youany control premium.

On October 1, 2013, the Kellogg Group made, for the first time, a public filing in Canada regarding its holdings in MFC. The Kellogg Group acknowledged that it had been an insider of MFC since December 31, 1999, although no explanation for the14 year delay in making this disclosure was provided. It is now clear that the Kellogg Group had been waiting in the weeds to ambush this year's annual general meeting of MFC in an attempt to seize control of MFC's Board.

It is not a coincidence that the Kellogg Group disclosed its shareholdings in MFC through an "early warning report" only weeks before it first disclosed its intention to nominate its own slate of nominees to MFC's Board and shortly after Mr. Kellogg had said his investment was "passive". Mr. Kellogg is a very senior and experienced market participant. There is no doubt that, given his experience, the Kellogg Group was fully aware of the strict regulatory regime in the North American capital markets. MFC believes the Kellogg Group's failure to properly inform the public of its share ownership position in MFC was a calculated and deliberate attempt to take control of MFC's Board, while keeping other MFC shareholders and markets uninformed of their true intentions in order to avoid having to pay shareholders a "control premium". MFC believes the Kellogg Group's conduct has caused and will continue to cause significant harm and damage to MFC and its shareholders.

MFC shareholders should be under no illusion that the Kellogg Group's efforts are anything other than an attempt to acquire control of MFC's Board. The Kellogg Proposals would let the Kellogg Group complete its takeover of MFC without any compensation being paid to other MFC shareholders. In most acquisitions of control, shareholders receive a significant premium to the current share price in exchange for handing over control of their company. The Kellogg Group is offeringno compensation to shareholders whatsoever. If the Kellogg Group is interested in controlling MFC, they should make a premium offer on the open market, instead of attempting to gain control through back channels. Shareholders should be skeptical of the Kellogg Group which has operated, and continues to operate, in a deceptive manner.

We urge shareholders not to cede control of MFC's Board without receiving a change of control premium.

The Kellogg Group's unlawful takeover violated applicable Canadian and United States securities laws and deprived shareholders of possible financial gain.

On November 27, 2013, MFC announced that due to the Kellogg Group's many egregious and ongoing violations of Canadian and United States securities laws, it had commenced legal actions against the Kellogg Group in British Columbia and New York seeking, among other things, orders prohibiting the Kellogg Group from voting its MFC shares or acquiring further MFC shares and requiring the Kellogg Group to dispose of MFC shares. MFC is amending its court filings in the British Columbia Supreme Court seeking additional orders, including, among others, orders prohibiting the Kellogg Group from nominating directors to MFC's Board, soliciting proxies in connection with the Meeting and voting its shares at the Meeting.

Additionally, MFC has applied to a Canadian securities regulator to investigate the actions of the Kellogg Group and make appropriate orders.

MFC undertook the foregoing actions to prevent the Kellogg Group from improperly and unlawfully seizing control of MFC's Board by continually and blatantly disregarding applicable securities laws and the rights of other shareholders.

MFC believes that the Kellogg Group's actions, including the process of acquiring its current significant ownership of MFC shares, have flagrantly and repeatedly violated applicable securities laws, including as follows:

Since at least1999, the Kellogg Group has been an "insider" by acquiring over 10% of MFC shares, but left MFC shareholders and the markets in the dark regarding its subsequent acquisitions of MFC shares and its intentions in violation of "insider", "early warning" and "takeover bid" laws.

Canadian securities laws require a person (or group of persons), such as the Kellogg Group, who acquires 10% or more of MFC's outstanding voting shares to publicly file and issue an "insider report", "press release" and "early warning report" (collectively, the "Early Warning Regime") in order to alert shareholders and the market to the acquisition and intentions of a person acquiring a significant ownership interest. The Early Warning Regime also requires further such public reports and disclosure for subsequent purchases in excess of 2% of the MFC shares. The Kellogg Group broke the 10% threshold in 1999, but failed to comply with the Early Warning Regime for almost14 years until October 1, 2013, when it disclosed ownership of 33% of the outstanding MFC shares.
The Early Warning Regime also provides that, during the time the Kellogg Group was required to file an early warning report or further report (acquisition of 10% and subsequent acquisitions of 2%) and ending one business day after such report or further report is filed, the Kellogg Group must not acquire any additional MFC shares. Despite acquiring 10% of the MFC Shares in 1999, the Kellogg Group continually and repeatedly violated these requirements by acquiring MFC shares without complying with the Early Warning Regime and, in particular, in violation of the prohibition on acquisitions of further MFC shares until after filing the requisite early warning report or further report.
Today, the Kellogg Group continues to violate securities laws as its filed reports are misleading and fail to disclose the actual date and amount of acquisitions and/or dispositions, the prices paid and received for MFC shares and other required disclosure.
United States securities laws require that a shareholder holding more than 5% of a company's shares file a Schedule 13D and amendments thereto and disclose, among other things, the purpose of its investment to other shareholders as well as any arrangements, understandings or agreements with other shareholders with respect to a company's shares. The Kellogg Group failed to file Schedule 13D ownership reports under United States securities laws between February 2001 and January 2013 (approximately 12 years) when it disclosed it had increased its ownership to approximately 30.9% of the outstanding MFC shares.

The Kellogg Group's egregious violations of securities laws have also unfairly deprived MFC's minority shareholders of possible economic gain with respect to their investment in MFC. Under Canadian takeover bid rules, unless an applicable exemption applies, a person acquiring 20% or more of an issuer's outstanding securities must make a formal takeover bid to all shareholders and comply with timing, disclosure, pricing and other requirements designed to foster fair and efficient capital markets and the fair treatment of shareholders. It now appears that the Kellogg Group surpassed this 20% threshold in 2000 and has thereafter made numerous acquisitions to increase its ownership to 33% without making a formal takeover bid to all shareholders. In most cases, shareholders receive a significant premium to the current share price in exchange for handing over control of their company, but the Kellogg Group has failed to pay shareholders anything for its control position.

Between May 2003 and August 2006, MFC had a shareholders rights plan (the "2003 Rights Plan") in place. The 2003 Rights Plan would have been triggered and a "flip-in" would have occurred if the Kellogg Group had acquired an additional 0.5% of MFC's shares after the 2003 Rights Plan was established. The occurrence of such a "flip-in event" would have entitled all other shareholders to acquire additional MFC shares at one-half the then market price. MFC believes that the Kellogg Group may likely have triggered the 2003 Rights Plan between 2003 and 2006, but due to the Kellogg Group's failure to disclose the details of their acquisitions, MFC shareholders did not know and could not have known that the 2003 Rights Plan might have been triggered, and as a result, were effectively deprived of their rights under the plan. The resulting economic deprivation to shareholders may have been substantial. On December 31, 2003, MFC's share price was $18.42 per share, and there were 9,577,882 shares outstanding (not including shares assumed to be held at that time by the Kellogg Group). If the 2003 Rights Plan was triggered on that date, under the terms of the plan, shareholders would have been entitled to purchase a total of approximately 77,995,556 shares at a 50% discount to the market price. By failing to make appropriate public disclosures, the Kellogg Group may have unfairly deprived MFC shareholders the right to purchase MFC shares at a discounted price of approximately $9.21 per share, representing an economic loss to other shareholders potentially in excess ofhundreds of millions of dollars. At the same time, the Kellogg Group unfairly maintained its share position in MFC, which would have been significantly diluted by triggering the 2003 Rights Plan. Assuming shareholders exercised their rights in full, the Kellogg Group's shareholdings would have been diluted to about only3% of the outstanding MFC shares.

Why has the Kellogg Group chosennow to launch this proxy contest?

In its November 25, 2013 news release, the Kellogg Group made abstract, specious and self-serving references to its ostensible concerns regarding the "strategic direction" of MFC. These concerns are specious and self-serving and only came about after MFC adopted a shareholder rights plan and took other steps to protect itself against the Kellogg Group's unlawful accumulation of shares. If the Kellogg Group's concerns were legitimate, why has Mr. Kellogg recently been acquiring substantial amounts of MFC shares, including purchases of 1,606,241 MFC shares between April 2013 and October 2013 for approximately $13.1 million? Interestingly, these purchases increased the Kellogg Group's holdings to 33% of the MFC shares, which is coincidentally the threshold necessary to defeat any transaction requiring special majority approval.The Kellogg Group never previously raised any such concerns with MFC, nor has it ever offered any tangible strategic plans to the Board concerning MFC's future.

So why the sudden public campaign against MFC's Board and strategies? Why would an opportunistic investor such as Mr. Kellogg now spend several hundred thousand dollars to change MFC's "strategic direction" when he has never previously raised any such concerns before? The reason is clear on closer scrutiny – the Kellogg Group may need access to MFC's significant assets, and now wishes to take control of MFC's Board for such purpose.

As outlined in an article in Forbes Magazine dated March 5, 2001 titled "Are You a Chump" and another article dated June 17, 2013 titled "Billionaire Seeks $186 Million Tax Refund, Claims IRS Biased by 'Politically Charged Atmosphere'", Kellogg and IAT have been embroiled in significant ongoing lawsuits with the IRS after the IRS rejected various tax exemptions claimed by IAT and/or its affiliates which permitted the Kellogg Group to avoid very significant tax obligations.

In and around June to November 2011, the Kellogg Group made payments in excess of $186 million to the IRS to settle the reassessment.

Subsequently, IAT's chief financial officer, David Pirrung, wrote a letter dated October 3, 2011 to the IRS seeking a waiver with respect to certain penalties and interest. This letter, which MFC has been able to locate, is reflective of the financial burden the tax reassessment imposed on IAT. A portion of the letter is reproduced below:

In response to these and subsequent bills, including the ones which I am paying today, as Chief Financial Officer of the taxpayer, I have made substantial and strenuous efforts to promptly pay amounts totaling approximately $170 million which is approximately20% of the [Kellogg] Group's capital base.This is a particularly difficult economic time to liquidate holdings of such a significant percentage of the taxpayer's entire holdings and I have to take great pains to determine how best to liquidate assets without jeopardizing the company's continuing operations (emphasis added).

Shortly following this, in or about the third quarter of 2011, the Kellogg Group approached MFC for a loan of $50 million dollars, which MFC believes was related to IAT's lack of liquidity caused by the IRS ruling. After careful consideration of all factors, including the Kellogg Group's status as a shareholder, MFC decided that it was not in the best interests of MFC or its shareholders to grant a loan to IAT. However, MFC did assist IAT in attempting to arrange third-party bank financing through its strong banking connections. Ultimately, MFC did not arrange any financing for IAT and discussions terminated.

In June of this year, only months before the Kellogg Group announced its decision to nominate its own directors, Mr. Kellogg and IAT commenced a lawsuit against the IRS to reclaim in excess of $186 million in taxes and interest they had to pay. The action was supposed to go to an alternative dispute resolution onNovember 13, 2013, but all proceedings in the action were stayed by court order because of the recent U.S. Government shutdown and lack of appropriations for the Department of Justice. About two weeks later, on November 25, 2013, the Kellogg Group launched its proxy contest.

____________________

Against this backdrop, it is apparent to MFC why the Kellogg Group chose now to launch its proxy contest. As Mr. Kellogg stated in his November 25, 2013, news release, "we are not shareholder activists." The Kellogg Group chose to begin its proxy campaign now because it appears to be under short-term financial pressure. The Kellogg Group's abstract justification of "strategic direction" for launching its proxy contest is simply a smokescreen designed to distract shareholders from its hidden agenda – to complete its takeover of MFC and gain control of its significant treasury.

Don't be fooled by sudden overtures of "camaraderie" by the Kellogg Group to its "fellow shareholders". The Kellogg Group spends its money only to advance its own interests. This is not an altruistic crusade for the benefit of MFC's minority shareholders, but rather a self-interested mission bya former Wall Street tycoon.

The interests of the Kellogg Group nominees are not aligned with the interests of minority shareholders.

The interests of the Kellogg Group nominees are not aligned with shareholders.

The Kellogg Group appears to be under short-term financial pressure. The MFC Board has serious concerns about the motives of the Kellogg Group's nominees, which has offered no plans to guide MFC or enhance shareholder value, and their true agenda remains hidden. The MFC Board believes that shareholders need to be wary of the Kellogg Group's intentions, as it appears that it wants to raid MFC's substantial assets for its own purposes.

The current proxy contest itself is evidence of the Kellogg Group's selfish motives.There is no valid reason for a costly and disruptive proxy contest. The Kellogg Group could have worked with the existing Board to discuss any ostensible concerns it had regarding MFC's "strategic direction". Instead, the Kellogg Group unnecessarily, and without notice, launched a proxy contest which hasalready been disruptive to MFC. Since November 2013, when the Kellogg Group announced its intention to nominate its own slate of directors, for example, MFC's lenders have expressed concerns regarding a change of control of MFC's Board and the resulting uncertainty regarding the strategic direction of MFC. Shareholders should be concerned that a Kellogg Group board may raid MFC's assets, adversely affecting MFC's business, which is capital intensive and requires high liquidity levels. This includes, if the Kellogg Proposals are successful, a possible change of control triggering an event of default under MFC's existing arrangements with its lenders. Although MFC is working with its lenders to help ensure that the banking lines and existing lending arrangements are unaffected by the proxy contest, there is no assurance that MFC will be successful.

The Kellogg Group's proxy contest has also jeopardized advanced negotiations regarding two separate accretive acquisitions by MFC scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2013. These transactions would have provided MFC with significant enhanced potential for near- and long-term growth.

The Kellogg Group lacks knowledge of MFC, its business and international strategies.

The Kellogg Group nominees lack working knowledge of MFC, its business and international strategies. The Kellogg Group has no strategic plan for MFC and has not been transparent in its strategy or intentions for MFC's future. It is not in shareholders' best interests to install a board and management that have not disclosed their plans to MFC shareholders.

The existing Board has demonstrated a clear strategy to build long-term value for your investment in MFC, and has created tremendous shareholder value in the past, including achieving a compound annual growth rate on the MFC shares of 20.1% between December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2012.

The Kellogg Group nominees have little or no relevant operational expertise or experience running a commodities business. The Kellogg Group nominees also, for the most part, lack the international experience necessary to successfully run MFC's operations, including in MFC's key markets of Europe, Latin America and Asia. If successful, the Kellogg Group will remove Dr. Shuming Zhao and Ravin Prakash, members of MFC's Board who have extensive international experience running commodities companies, and have a proven record of delivering value on an international stage. The Board believes that the Kellogg Group nominees' lack of international experience could seriously impact MFC's business and operations, and could negatively impact the strategic plans designed by the current MFC Board which have created substantial value for shareholders.

Your Board has demonstrated a clear strategy to build long-term value for your investment in MFC. MFC's current directors have extensive experience in the global commodities trading industry. They are committed to high standards of corporate governance and to creating long-term value for all of MFC's shareholders. In today's uncertain economic environment, MFC needs a strong Board that is experienced and focused on long-term success, not short-term, selfish goals.

Mr. Kellogg, the Kellogg Group and several of the Kellogg Group nominees have a significant prior record of run-ins with legal regulators.

The significant ongoing disputes between the Kellogg Group and the IRS after the IRS rejected various tax exemptions claimed by IAT and/or its affiliates which permitted the Kellogg Group to avoid very significant tax obligations and resulted in the IRS seeking and collecting in excess of $186 million in taxes, interests and other charges are described in detail above. This is not the only significant instance where Mr. Kellogg, or one of the Kellogg Group nominees, has had a run-in with a legal regulator:

KELLOGG NOMINEE	LEGAL/REGULATORY RUN-IN
PETER KELLOGG	In 2003, the National Association of Securities Dealers filed a disciplinary action against Mr. Kellogg alleging that Mr. Kellogg directed fraudulent wash trades and matched trades between four accounts he controlled. As a result of the trades, companies owned by Mr. Kellogg's children recognized a greater profit than they would have received in the open market, and the trading public was deceived about the volume of trading in the underlying stocks. In this instance, Mr. Kellogg was able to successfully argue that the transactions were conducted for legitimate business and tax purposes and the charges were dropped.
PETER KELLOGG	In 1999, the adjudicatory council of the American Stock Exchange (the "Amex") ordered that a former managing director of Spear, Leeds & Kellogg, pay a $100,000 fine and be permanently barred from association with the exchange. He had violated anti-fraud provisions of federal securities laws by creating fraudulent trades. According to an April 26, 1999 Businessweek cover story titled "The American Stock Exchange: Scandal on Wall Street", the Amex was later criticized for not following up on testimony which indicated knowledge and approval of his activities by, among others, Mr. Kellogg. Mr. Kellogg was never charged by the Amex.
WILLIAM HORN	In 2008, Mr. Horn became a director of LMS Medical Systems, Inc. ("LMS"). The next year, LMS was cease traded by the securities commissions in Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec for failing to properly file its annual filings. As a result, trading in the common shares of LMS was halted on the Toronto Stock Exchange. On January 26, 2010, Mr. Horn resigned as a director, chief executive officer and chief financial officer of LMS. However, in his last year as chief executive officer and chief financial officer of LMS, Mr. Horn saw fit to pay himself over $300,000. His successor was paid less than a third of that amount in the following year. It ultimately took over two years for LMS to effect the revocation of the cease trade orders issued while Mr. Horn was LMS's chief executive officer and chief financial officer.
LOGAN KRUGER	Mr. Kruger was the chief executive officer of Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting when, on August 8, 2000, an explosion occurred at its smelter in Flin Flon, Manitoba, killing one man and severely injuring thirteen others. According to a paper published in June 2009 by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives titled "Invitation to an inquest: Death and dissatisfaction in Flin Flon", the resulting government inquiry revealed that Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting had engaged in unsafe work practices to speed up a maintenance shutdown. On November 29, 2001, the company pleaded guilty to contravention ofThe Workplace Safety and Health Act (Manitoba), which creates an obligation to provide and maintain a safe workplace.
	As reported by MiningWatch Canada, in 2006, Mr. Kruger was a director of a parent company which owned the Goro Nickel mine in New Caledonia, when the company's mining permit was revoked for violating the rights of the indigenous people and for providing an inadequate and flawed environmental impact assessment.
	In 2009, Mr. Kruger was the chief executive officer of Century Aluminum Co. when it closed its Ravenswood, West Virginia aluminum smelter plant, putting 651 people out of work. According to a July 1, 2011 article in the Charleston Daily Mail titled "Century Aluminum retirees picket for health care benefits", despite guaranteeing retired employees health care coverage under a contract negotiated with the United Steelworkers Union, Mr. Kruger terminated those benefits, leaving many uninsurable. The Senator for West Virginia, Mr. John D. Rockefeller IV, wrote a letter dated June 16, 2011 addressed to Mr. Kruger commenting on the "unimaginable hardship" that his decision had brought and that he had "been less than forthcoming" in relation to retirees' health care. According to a Reuters report dated November 18, 2011, upon being ousted as Century Aluminum Co.'s chief executive officer in November 2011, Mr. Kruger commenced a lawsuit against his former employer in an attempt to get a $26 million golden parachute.

KELLOGG NOMINEE	LEGAL/REGULATORY RUN-IN
PATRICE MERRIN	While an executive vice-president and chief operating officer at Sherritt International Corporation, Ms. Merrin was banned for a time from entering the United States for violating the 1998Helms-Burton Act. TheHelms-Burton Act denies entry to the United States for people who "traffic" in American goods seized by Fidel Castro during the 1959 Cuban revolution. Sherritt International jointly owns a zinc mine with the Cuban government, which had been seized from Freeport McMoRan, a U.S. company, after Fidel Castro came to power.
TREVOR SCHULTZ	As reported in an October 30, 2012 article in the Financial Post, recent litigation in Egypt has called into question the legality of Centamin Plc's mining license, which had been issued during the Mubarek regime. The matter has yet to be resolved. Mr. Schultz has been a director of Centamin Plc since 2008.

The dangers of the Kellogg Proposals

The Kellogg Proposals pose a number of serious concerns which shareholders need to consider:

The Kellogg Proposals would let the Kellogg Group complete ade facto change of control of MFC's Board without payment of any change of control premium and without giving other shareholders a chance to sell their shares into a bid. As compared to the Kellogg Group's 33% ownership interest in MFC, the Kellogg Proposals seeks the appointment of approximately 75% of the Board.
The Kellogg Group may be intending to raid MFC's substantial assets for their own purposes. The Kellogg Group's undisclosed business plan could include granting a significant loan to the Kellogg Group in light of its liquidity crunch. In the midst of the current difficult global economic reality and commodity price environment and in order to execute its long-term strategy, MFC's cash balance is a precious asset that needs to be protected.
If elected, MFC believes the Kellogg Group nominees would try to dismiss MFC's existing legal actions against Mr. Kellogg for his blatant breaches of securities laws and the resulting damage it has caused MFC and its shareholders.
The Kellogg Proposals could trigger a change of control under MFC's existing bank lines and arrangements with lenders. MFC's lenders have already expressed serious concerns as a result of the uncertainty regarding the strategic direction of MFC.
The Kellogg Proposals could also trigger change of control provisions in MFC's other contracts, including employment agreements with management.
The Kellogg Group has made no commitment to a long-term strategy for MFC, nor has it proposed any strategies for MFC's future.
The Kellogg Group's nominees lack working knowledge of MFC, its business or strategies. The Kellogg Group nominees fail to provide the international experience or expertise needed to face the challenges and pursue the opportunities presented by MFC's international businesses.
The Kellogg Proposals would remove members of MFC's Board who have extensive international experience running commodities companies, a proven record of delivering value and could result in the loss of senior management, which could seriously, adversely impact MFC's operations.
The remaining directors whom MFC is not currently seeking to have removed are currently considering their positions in light of the Kellogg Proposals and, in the event that the Kellogg Group is successful, they may not wish to remain in their positions as directors of MFC. Should those directors decide to depart, MFC would have no continuity of directors going forward.
If the Kellogg Proposals are successful and the Kellogg Group nominees go in a direction incompatible with management's current strategy and direction for MFC's business, management may not wish to remain in their current positions and may instead wish to explore alternative opportunities. This could have a serious negative impact on MFC's business and operations.

MFC has also requested brokers and nominees who hold stock in their respective names to furnish this Circular and related proxy materials to their customers, and MFC will reimburse such brokers and nominees for their related out of pocket expenses. The cost of solicitation will be borne by MFC.

No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representation other than as contained in this Circular in connection with the solicitation of proxies. If given or made, such information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by MFC. The delivery of this Circular shall not create, under any circumstances, any implication that there has been no change in the information set forth herein since the date of this Circular. This Circular does not constitute the solicitation of a proxy by anyone in any jurisdiction in which such solicitation is not authorized, or in which the person making such solicitation is not qualified to do so, or to anyone to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer of solicitation.

Record Date

The Board has set the close of business (New York time) on November 25, 2013 as the record date (the "Record Date") for determining which shareholders shall be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting. Only shareholders of record as of the Record Date ("Registered Shareholders") are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting. Persons who acquire MFC shares after the Record Date will not be entitled to vote such MFC shares at the Meeting.

Appointment of Proxyholders

Registered Shareholders are entitled to vote at the Meeting. A shareholder is entitled to one vote for each MFC share that such shareholder holds on the Record Date on the resolutions to be voted upon at the Meeting, and any other matter to come before the Meeting.

The persons named as proxyholders (the "Designated Persons") in the enclosed form of proxy are directors and/or officers of MFC.

A Registered Shareholder has the right to appoint a person or corporation (who need not be a shareholder) to attend and act for or on behalf of that shareholder at the Meeting, other than the Designated Persons named in the enclosed form of proxy. A Registered Shareholder may exercise this right by striking out the printed names and inserting the name of such other person and, if desired, an alternate to such person, in the blank space provided in the form of proxy.

In order to be voted, the completed form of proxy must be received by MFC, by mail or by hand, to the attention of Corporate Election Services, PO Box 3230, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15230, USA, by 4:00 p.m. (Hong Kong time) on December 24, 2013 (or a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or holiday which is at least 48 hours before the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) of the Meeting). Shareholders may also provide their voting instructions by telephone by calling toll free 1-888-693-VOTE (8683), by facsimile at 1-412-299-9191, or through the Internet atwww.cesvote.com. The time limit for the deposit of proxies may be waived by the chair of the Meeting at his or her discretion without notice.

A proxy may not be valid unless it is dated and signed by the Registered Shareholder who is giving it or by that shareholder's attorney-in-fact duly authorized by that shareholder in writing or, in the case of a corporation, dated and executed by a duly authorized officer, or attorney-in-fact, for the corporation. If a form of proxy is executed by an attorney-in-fact for an individual shareholder or joint shareholders, or by an officer or attorney-in-fact for a corporate shareholder, the instrument so empowering the officer or attorney-in-fact, as the case may be, or a notarially certified copy thereof, should accompany the form of proxy.

Revocability of Proxy

Any Registered Shareholder who has returned a form of proxy may revoke it at any time before it has been exercised. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a form of proxy may be revoked by instrument in writing, including a form of proxy bearing a later date, executed by the Registered Shareholder or by his or her attorney duly authorized in writing or, if the Registered Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by a duly authorized officer or attorney thereof. The instrument revoking the form of proxy must be deposited at the same address where the original form of proxy was delivered at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment or adjournments thereof, or with the chair of the Meeting on the date of, but prior to the commencement of, the Meeting. A Registered Shareholder who has submitted a form of proxy may also revoke it by attending the Meeting in person (or if the shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized representative of the corporation attending the Meeting) and registering with the scrutineer thereat as a Registered Shareholder present in person, whereupon such form of proxy shall be deemed to have been revoked.

Only Registered Shareholders have the right to revoke a form of proxy. Non-Registered Holders (as hereinafter defined) must ensure that any change in voting instructions is communicated to the applicable nominee sufficiently in advance of the time of voting at the Meeting. Non-Registered Holders who have voted and who wish to change their voting instructions should contact their nominee promptly if assistance is required.

Voting of MFC Shares and Proxies and Exercise of Discretion by Designated Persons

A Shareholder may indicate the manner in which the Designated Persons are to vote with respect to a matter to be voted upon at the Meeting by marking the appropriate space. If the instructions as to voting indicated in the proxy are certain, the MFC shares represented by the form of proxy will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions given in the form of proxy. If the shareholder specifies a choice in the form of proxy with respect to a matter to be acted upon, then the MFC shares represented will be voted or withheld from the vote on that matter accordingly.

If no choice is specified in the form of proxy with respect to a matter to be acted upon, the form of proxy confers discretionary authority with respect to that matter upon the Designated Persons named in the form of proxy. It is intended that the Designated Persons will vote the MFC shares represented by the form of proxy in favor of each matter identified in the form of proxy, including the vote for the election of the nominee to the Board and for the appointment of the independent auditors of MFC.

The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting, including any amendments or variations to any matters identified in the Notice of Meeting, and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. As at the date of this Circular, management of MFC is not aware of any such amendments, variations, or other matters to come before the Meeting.

In the case of abstentions from, or withholding of, the voting of the MFC shares on any matter, the MFC shares that are the subject of the abstention or withholding will be counted for the determination of a quorum, but will not be counted as affirmative or negative on the matter to be voted upon.

NON-REGISTERED HOLDERS

Only Registered Shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most shareholders are "non-registered" shareholders because the MFC shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the name of the brokerage firm, bank or trust company through which they purchased the MFC shares. More particularly, a person is not a Registered Shareholder in respect of MFC shares which are held on behalf of that person (the "Non-Registered Holder") but which are registered either: (a) in the name of an intermediary (an "Intermediary") that the Non-Registered Holder deals with in respect of the MFC shares (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators or self-administered RRSP's, RRIF's, RESPs and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation) of which the Intermediary is a participant. In accordance with the requirements set out in Canadian National Instrument 54-101 –Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer ("NI 54-101"), MFC has distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting, this Circular and the form of proxy (collectively, the "Meeting Materials") to the clearing agencies and Intermediaries for onward distribution to Non-Registered Holders.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders unless a Non-Registered Holder has waived the right to receive them. Very often, Intermediaries will use service companies to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders. Generally, Non-Registered Holders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials will either:

	(a)		be given a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number of MFC shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Holder but which is otherwise not completed. Because the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the Non-Registered Holder when submitting the proxy. In this case, the Non-Registered Holder who wishes to submit a proxy should otherwise properly complete the form of proxy and deposit it with MFC as provided above; or

	(b)		more typically, be given a voting instruction form which is not signed by the Intermediary, and which, when properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Holder and returned to the Intermediary or its service company, will constitute voting instructions (often called a "proxy authorization form") which the Intermediary must follow. Typically, the proxy authorization form will consist of a one page pre-printed form. Sometimes, instead of a one page pre-printed form, the proxy authorization form will consist of a regular printed proxy form accompanied by a page of instructions, which contains a removable label containing a bar-code and other information. In order for the form of proxy to validly constitute a proxy authorization form, the Non-Registered Holder must remove the label from the instructions and affix it to the form of proxy, properly complete and sign the form of proxy and return it to the Intermediary or its service company in accordance with the instructions of the Intermediary or its service company.

In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit a Non-Registered Holder to direct the voting of the MFC shares which they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Holder who receives one of the above forms wish to vote at the Meeting in person, the Non-Registered Holder should strike out the names of the management proxyholders named in the form and insert the Non-Registered Holder's name in the blank space provided. In either case, Non-Registered Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when and where the proxy or proxy authorization form is to be delivered.

There are two kinds of beneficial owners – those who object to their name being made known to the issuers of securities which they own (called OBOs for Objecting Beneficial Owners) and those who do not object to the issuers of the securities they own knowing who they are (called NOBOs for Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners). Pursuant to NI 54-101, issuers can obtain a list of their NOBOs from Intermediaries for distribution of proxy-related materials directly to NOBOs.

These Meeting Materials are being sent to both Registered Shareholders and Non-Registered Holders. If you are a Non-Registered Holder, and MFC or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary holding on your behalf.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

As at November 25, 2013, being the Record Date, there were a total of 62,827,502 MFC shares issued and outstanding. Each MFC share entitles the holder thereof to one vote at the Meeting. The following table sets forth, as of the date hereof, to the best of MFC's knowledge and based solely upon publicly available records and filings, the only persons or companies which beneficially own, or control or direct, directly or indirectly, voting securities carrying 10% or more of the votes attached to the issued and outstanding MFC shares as of the date hereof:

Name	Amount Owned	Percent of Class
Peter Kellogg	20,662,400^(1)(2)(3)	33.0%

____________________
Notes:
(1)		In his public filings, Mr. Kellogg disclaims beneficial ownership of 14,862,400 of the MFC shares, or approximately 23.8% of the issued and outstanding MFC shares as of the date hereof.
(2)		Mr. Kellogg controls 13,662,400 of the MFC shares, or approximately 21.8% of the issued and outstanding MFC shares as of the date hereof, through IAT Reinsurance Company Ltd., a Bermuda limited liability company.

RECEIPT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The directors will place before the Meeting the consolidated financial statements of MFC for the year ended December 31, 2012 together with the auditors' report thereon, which are included in the annual report of MFC for the year ended December 31, 2012.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

MFC's Articles provide that the size of its Board is set by resolution of the Board and not by a vote of shareholders. The size of the Board has been fixed at six directors by the Board and cannot be increased at this time. MFC's Articles also provide for three classes of directors with staggered terms. Each director holds office until the expiry of his or her term or until his or her successor is elected or appointed, unless his or her office is earlier vacated in accordance with the Articles of MFC or with the provisions of theBusiness Corporations Act(British Columbia). At each annual meeting of MFC, a class of directors is elected to hold office for a three-year term. Successors to the class of directors whose terms expire are identified as being of the same class as the directors they succeed and are elected to hold office for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting of the shareholders. A director appointed or elected to fill a vacancy on the Board holds office for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor. In November 2013, after receiving the unanimous recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which is comprised solely of independent directors, the Board amended MFC's Articles to address an inconsistency with its staggered board structure, and to provide that the size of the Board would be fixed by directors' resolution.

Accordingly, at the Meeting, shareholders will be called upon only to re-elect two Class II directors by ordinary resolution. After receiving the unanimous recommendation of its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board has selected Dr. Shuming Zhao and Ravin Prakash as the MFC nominees. Dr. Zhao is also a member of MFC's Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (Chair).

Indrajit Chatterjee has two years remaining in his term as a Class I director of MFC. Mr. Chatterjee is currently a member of MFC's Audit Committee, Compensation Committee (Chair)and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Silke S. Stenger was appointed a director of MFC in August 2013. Ms. Stenger is a former director of MFC. Ms. Stenger is a Class I director and has two years remaining in her term as a Class I director of MFC. Ms. Stenger is currently a member of MFC's Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

General

Pursuant to applicable securities legislation, MFC is required to provide a summary of all annual compensation for services in all capacities to MFC and its subsidiaries for the most recently completed financial year in respect of the individuals comprised of any persons who acted as either the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer of MFC for any part of such year, and each of the other three most highly compensated executive officers of MFC, whose total compensation for the most recently completed financial year exceeded $150,000, and any individual who would have satisfied these criteria but for the fact that the individual was not serving as an executive officer, nor acting in a similar capacity, at the end of the most recently completed financial year (the "NEOs").

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

In determining executive compensation, the Compensation Committee aims to encourage and reward performance in order to maintain the position of MFC in a highly competitive environment. The Compensation Committee endeavours to ensure that MFC's compensation policies:

attract and retain highly qualified and experienced executives and managers as well as align the compensation level of each executive to that executive's level of responsibility;
recognize and reward contributions to the success of MFC as measured by the accomplishment of specific performance objectives; and
ensure that a significant proportion of compensation is at risk and directly linked to the success of MFC.

The Compensation Committee believes that compensation packages for MFC's executives must be designed to attract and retain executives critical to the success of MFC, ensure that executive compensation is linked to both individual and corporate performance and focus executives on business factors that impact shareholder value. The Compensation Committee also considers the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer for executives other than the Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Operating Officer, and relies on Board discussions in its analysis and recommendations. Compensation for the NEOs for the year ended December 31, 2012 consisted of two main components: (i) base salary; and (ii) annual performance incentives.

Base Salary

Base salary reflects annual compensation received by an executive for the position they hold and the role they perform within MFC. The objective of the base salary, consistent with market practice, is to provide a portion of compensation as a fixed cash amount. Base salaries are intended to attract and retain talented executives and to reflect the skill and level of responsibility of an executive, taking into account market conditions and salaries paid by MFC's competitors. Base salaries are targeted at median market values and balanced with relative roles and responsibilities within MFC. The relative base salary of executive officers reflects their experience and the accountability of their respective roles and the incumbent's performance in such roles. Base salaries are benchmarked internally against similar roles, and are then adjusted depending on a NEO's past performance, experience, individual qualifications, promotion or other change in responsibilities and expected future contributions to MFC.

Annual Performance Incentives

MFC's annual performance incentives are designed to reinforce MFC's business strategy as approved by the Board. The objective of awarding annual performance incentives is to provide a component of compensation that rewards near term performance results of MFC as a whole. Such incentives focus attention on the achievement of short term profitability with lesser emphasis on revenues. The annual performance incentives provide executives with the opportunity to earn cash incentives based on the achievement of financial, corporate and strategic objectives relating to the implementation of MFC's business strategy and the individual's performance objectives. The amount and award of cash bonuses to executives is discretionary and awards may vary as a percentage of base salary. Incentive targets for all levels are reviewed periodically to ensure ongoing market competitiveness. Performance objectives are based on MFC's business plan for the fiscal year as approved by the Board and are intended to be challenging but achievable.

Annual performance incentives are an important component of the total compensation that may be received by a NEO, primarily because they provide the NEO with the potential to receive an annual financial reward based on the achievement of specific goals. Annual performance incentives are designed to achieve three important objectives:

to motivate and reward eligible executives who contribute to successfully achieving Company goals;
to provide executives with a competitive total compensation package; and
to attract and retain talented executives.

Security Based Compensation

Options are granted to executive officers pursuant to the terms of MFC's 1997 stock option plan (the "Option Plan") and awards are available for grant under the 2008 equity incentive plan (the "Incentive Plan"). Grants under the Option Plan and the Incentive Plan are made based on the executive's contribution to the achievement of MFC's goals, taking into account the executive's existing level of equity incentives. In determining whether to grant options under the Option Plan or awards under the Incentive Plan to the executive officers, the Board takes into account previous grants. Please refer to the section of this Circular entitled "Statement of Executive Compensation – Option-Based Awards" below.

No options were granted during the year ended December 31, 2012.

Risk Management

MFC has taken steps to ensure its executive compensation program does not incent risk outside MFC's risk appetite. Some of the risk management initiatives currently employed by MFC are as follows:

appointing a Compensation Committee comprised entirely of independent directors to oversee the executive compensation program; and
use of discretion in adjusting bonus payments (if any) up or down as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate and recommends.

The Board and Compensation Committee have discussed and assessed risks related to MFC compensation policies and practices and are of the view that, when looked at in their totality, MFC's compensation policies and practices do not incentivize risk taking outside MFC's risk appetite. MFC does not have any formal policy respecting the purchase by an NEO or a director of financial instruments.

Compensation Governance

MFC has a Compensation Committee, comprised entirely of independent directors, being Dr. Shuming Zhao, Ian Rigg, Indrajit Chatterjee (Chair) and Silke S. Stenger. The Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things, developing MFC's approach to executive compensation and periodically reviewing the compensation of the directors. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves annual salaries, bonuses and other forms and items of compensation for MFC's senior officers and employees. Except for plans that are, in accordance with their terms or as required by law, administered by the Board or another particularly designated group, the Compensation Committee also administers and implements all of the Option Plan and other stock-based and equity-based benefit plans (including performance-based plans), recommends changes or additions to those plans and reports to the Board on compensation matters. The Board adopted a charter for the Compensation Committee to replace the existing charter on October 26, 2013, a copy of which is available online at MFC's website at www.mfcindustrial.com. The responsibilities, powers and operation of the Compensation Committee are detailed in the Compensation Committee's charter.

The members of the Compensation Committee have direct experience relevant to executive compensation from their broad business experience and are well-versed in executive compensation matters. The members similarly bring a wide range of skills and experience that helps them make decisions in respect of MFC's compensation policies and practices and assess performance on both an individual and an organizational level. These skills and experiences include, but are not limited to: industry knowledge; operational experience; financial knowledge; and international business experience.

Performance Graph

The following chart compares the cumulative total return assuming a $100 investment in the MFC shares with the cumulative total return of the Russell 2000 Index over the five most recently completed financial years, assuming that the $100 investment was made on January 1, 2008 and assuming the reinvestment of dividends.

	1/1/08	31/12/08	31/12/09	31/12/10	31/12/11	31/12/12
MFC Industrial Ltd.	$100	$37.26	$45.40	$45.60	$42.05	$52.81
Russell 2000 Index	$100	$66.21	$84.20	$106.82	$102.36	$119.09

The performance of the MFC shares as set out in the graph above does not necessarily indicate future price performance. Executive compensation has generally followed the trend in shareholder returns, although market conditions in the 2008 fiscal year resulted in a disconnect between financial performance, share performance and compensation. As described above, the Compensation Committee considers various factors in determining the compensation of the NEOs. The Compensation Committee does not consider the price of the MFC shares to be a strong indicator of performance.

Option-Based Awards

Pursuant to the terms of the Option Plan, the Board currently administers and implements the Option Plan and the Incentive Plan and recommends changes or additions thereto. The Compensation Committee assists the Board in these respects. The Board determines all option-based awards to be granted pursuant to the Option Plan or the Incentive Plan and any special terms, including any exercise price or vesting provisions applicable thereto. When determining whether to grant new option-based awards to executive officers, the Board takes into account previous grants of option-based awards.

For a summary of the material provisions of the Option Plan, please refer to the section of this Circular entitled "Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans – Option Plan". For a summary of the material provisions of the Incentive Plan, please refer to the section of this Circular entitled "Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans – Incentive Plan".

Termination and Change of Control Benefits

Effective March 1, 2008, MFC entered into an independent consulting agreement with Michael Smith, MFC's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which he provides consulting services to MFC. In the event that the agreement is terminated by MFC or in the event of a change of control, Mr. Smith is entitled to receive a termination payment equal to the sum of three times the aggregate consulting fee paid to Mr. Smith in the previous twelve months plus the higher of his current bonus or the highest bonus received by him in the previous five years prior to such termination.

	(a)	Indrajit Chatterjee, Dr. Shuming Zhao, Ian Rigg and Silke S. Stenger are independent directors of MFC.

	(b)	Michael J. Smith is an executive officer of MFC and is therefore not an independent director. Ravin Prakash is an officer of a subsidiary of MFC and is therefore not an independent director.

Board Mandate

The Board has adopted the following mandate and terms of reference for directors:

TheBusiness Corporations Act, S.B.C. 2002, c.57, MFC's governing statute, provides that directors must "manage or supervise the management of the business and affairs of MFC". In practice, as the Board cannot "manage" a corporation such as MFC in the sense of directing its day-to-day operations, the overarching role and legal duty of the Board is to "supervise" the management of MFC's business and affairs. Accordingly, the Board oversees development of the overall strategic direction and policy framework for MFC. This responsibility is discharged through Board oversight of MFC's management, which is responsible for the day-to-day conduct of the business.

The Board's primary responsibilities are to supervise the management of MFC, to establish an appropriate corporate governance system, and to set a tone of high professional and ethical standards. The Board is also responsible for:

selecting and assessing members of the Board;
choosing, assessing and compensating the Chief Executive Officer of MFC, approving the compensation of all executive officers and ensuring that an orderly management succession plan exists;
reviewing and approving MFC's strategic plan, operating plan, capital budget and financial goals, and reviewing its performance against those plans;
adopting a code of conduct and a disclosure policy for MFC, and monitoring performance against those policies;
ensuring the integrity of MFC's internal control and management information systems;
approving MFC's financial statements and related public disclosures prior to such disclosure;
approving any major changes to MFC's capital structure, including significant investments or financing arrangements; and
reviewing and approving any other issues which, in the view of the Board or management, may require Board scrutiny.

Directors are expected to attend Board meetings and meetings of the committees on which they serve and to spend the time needed and meet as frequently as necessary to properly discharge their duties and responsibilities.

It shall be the policy of the Board that a majority of the members of the Board, and all of the members of the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee, shall meet the independence requirements of applicable law and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the independence requirements of theSarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the applicable Canadian securities commissions and the New York Stock Exchange in effect from time to time (subject to any exceptions allowed by such rules and any waivers granted by such authorities).

SCHEDULE "C"
AUDIT COMMITTEE DISCLOSURE

1.	THE AUDIT COMMITTEE'S CHARTER (THE "CHARTER")

1.	PURPOSE; LIMITATIONS ON DUTIES.

	The purpose of the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee" or the "Committee") of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of MFC Industrial Ltd. (the "Company") is to (a) assist the Board in monitoring: (i) the integrity of the financial statements of the Company; (ii) the compliance by the Company with legal and regulatory requirements regarding financial disclosure; (iii) the independent auditor's qualifications and independence; and (iv) the performance of the Company's internal audit function and independent auditor; and (b) prepare the annual report of the Committee required by applicable U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and applicable Canadian securities commissions ("CSC") disclosure rules.

	While the Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in this charter (the "Charter"), it is not the duty of the Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company's financial statements and disclosures are complete and accurate and are in accordance with the English language version of International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS") and applicable rules and regulations. These are the responsibilities of management and the independent auditor and nothing herein is to be construed as changing such responsibilities. Because the primary function of the Committee is oversight, absent knowledge to the contrary (the details of which shall be promptly reported to the Board), the Committee shall be entitled to rely on the expertise, skills and knowledge of management, the internal auditing department (if any) and the Company's independent auditors and the integrity and accuracy of information provided to the Committee by such persons.

	This Charter supersedes the Charter of the Audit Committee approved in July 2006 and any other prior Charters of the Audit Committee.

2.	COMPOSITION; FINANCIAL EXPERT.

	The Committee shall consist of at least three (3) directors of the Board. All members of the Committee must be directors who meet the knowledge and independence requirements of applicable law and the rules of the SEC, including the independence requirements of theSarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002(the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act"), the applicable CSC and the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") in effect from time to time (subject to any exceptions allowed by such rules and any waivers granted by such authorities).

	To the extent practicable, at least one member of the Committee shall qualify as an "audit committee financial expert," as defined in the SEC's rules and regulations in effect from time to time. The Company will disclose in the annual report required by Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act") (which may incorporate proxy circular disclosure by reference, to the extent permitted by SEC rules) whether or not it has at least one member who is an audit committee financial expert. In any event (as required by the NYSEListed Company Manual), the Committee must include at least one (1) member who the Board determines has accounting or related financial management expertise (which the Board may presume with respect to a person who qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert"). CSC and NYSE rules on the conduct of the Committee require that each member of the Committee be financially literate (as such qualification is interpreted by the Board in its business judgment), which generally means the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company's financial statements, or must become financially literate within a reasonable period of time after his or her appointment to the audit committee.

C-1

	A member of the Committee may not serve on the audit committees of more than two (2) other public companies unless the Board determines that such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of such member to effectively serve on the Committee and such determination is disclosed either on or through the Company's website or in its annual proxy circular. If this disclosure is made on or through the Company's website, the Company must disclose that fact in its annual proxy circular and provide its website address.

	The members of the Committee shall be appointed by and serve at the discretion of the Board and shall serve until their successors are appointed. Committee members will be elected annually for a term of one (1) year. Vacancies will be filled by a majority vote of the Board, subject to such new committee members(s) satisfying the independence requirements established by laws and regulations in Canada and the United States. Except as expressly provided in this Charter or the Articles of the Company, the Committee shall fix its own rules of procedure. The Board may remove a member of the Committee at any time in its sole discretion by ordinary resolution of the Board.

3.	CHAIRMAN

	The Board, or in the event of its failure to do so, the majority of the members of the Committee, must appoint a chairman from the directors of the Committee (the "Chairman"). If the Chairman is not present at any meeting of the Committee, an acting Chairman for the meeting shall be chosen by majority vote of the Committee from among the members present. In the case of a deadlock on any matter or vote, the Chairman shall refer the matter to the Board. The Committee may appoint a secretary who need not be a director of the Board or Committee.

4.	REPORTS TO BOARD; MEETINGS, MINUTES.

	4.2	Executive Sessions.

		If necessary and appropriate, the Committee shall meet (with such frequency as it determines) with each of the independent auditor, internal auditors (or other personnel responsible for the Company's internal audit function) and management in separate executive sessions to discuss any matters that the Committee or these groups believe should be discussed privately.

	4.3	Other Meetings.

		Other meetings will be held with such frequency, and at such times, as the Chairperson, or a majority of the Committee determines, but not less than four times a. Special meetings of the Committee may be called by the Chairperson and will be called promptly upon the request of any two (2) Committee members.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy

I.	Statement of Principles

	In accordance with the requirements of the SEC rules and securities regulations, including the independence requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and National Instrument 52-110 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, and to safeguard the continued independence of its independent auditor, all audit and non-audit services to be rendered by the Company's independent auditor and any related entities to the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") must be the subject of pre-approval by the Audit Committee of the Board in order to assure that they do not impair the auditor's independence from the Company. Furthermore, the Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor.

	As set forth in this Policy, unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the independent auditor. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

	The appendices to this Policy describe the Audit, Audit-related, Tax and All Other services that have the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The term of any general pre-approval is twelve (12) months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee considers a different period and states otherwise. The Audit Committee will annually review and pre-approve the services that may be provided by the independent auditor without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will revise the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.

	The purpose of this Policy is to set forth the procedures by which the Audit Committee intends to fulfill its responsibilities. It does not delegate the Audit Committee's responsibilities to pre-approved services performed by the independent auditor to management.

	The independent auditor has reviewed this Policy and believes that implementation of the policy will not adversely affect the auditor's independence.

II.	Delegation

	The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

III.	Audit Services

	The annual Audit services engagement terms and fees will be subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will approve, if necessary, any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope, Company structure or other items.

Exhibit A-1

C-9

	In addition to the annual Audit services engagement approved by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval of other Audit services, which are those services that only the independent auditor reasonably can provide. The Audit Committee has pre-approved the Audit services in Exhibit B. The general pre-approval of the range of services set forth on Exhibit B will be brought to the Audit Committee on an annual basis for review any modification thought appropriate and approval. In connection with such review, the Audit Committee will be provided a written description of the nature and scope, including the fee structure and terms of any oral or written side agreement(s), for all tax services to be considered for general pre-approval under Exhibit B. The potential effects of these tax services on the independence of the auditor will be discussed with them.

	In the case of proposed engagements of the auditor involving any of the services covered under the range of pre-approved services under Exhibit B where the fees for a particular engagement are expected to exceed a total of CDN$200,000, specific pre-approval must be obtained under the provisions of Section VI below.

	All other Audit services not listed in Exhibit B must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee under the provisions of Section VII below.

IV.	Audit-related Services

	Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company's financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor. The Audit Committee believes that the provision of Audit-related services does not impair the independence of the auditor, and has pre-approved Audit-related services in Exhibit B. All other Audit-related services not listed in Exhibit B must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

V.	Tax Services

	The Audit Committee believes that the independent auditor can provide Tax services to the Company such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditor's independence. However, the Audit Committee will not permit the retention of the independent auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the independent auditor, the purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committee has pre-approved the Tax services in Exhibit B. All Tax services involving large and complex transactions not listed in Exhibit B must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

VI.	All Other Services

	All other permissible services not listed in Exhibit B must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee. Where particular pre-approval is required, the Audit Committee has delegated the authority to effect such pre-approval to the Chairman of the Audit Committee.

	Under no circumstances may the Audit Committee delegate its responsibilities to the Company's management.

	For greater certainty, if an engagement with the independent auditor for a particular service is contemplated that is neither prohibited nor covered under the range of services under Exhibit B, in order for such an engagement to proceed it must be the subject of individual pre-approval under Section VII.

	It is the responsibility of the Company's management to determine whether a particular service is covered by the pre-approved range of services set forth on Exhibit B. Management should seek the guidance of the Chairman of the Audit Committee where there is any ambiguity about whether a particular service is pre-approved.

C-10

	A list of the SEC's prohibited non-audit services is included in Exhibit B. The SEC's rules and relevant guidance should be consulted to determine the precise definitions of these services and the applicability of exceptions to certain of the prohibitions.

VII.	Procedures

	Requests or applications to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the independent auditor and the Chief Financial Officer. If the individual service is a tax service, a written description of the nature and scope, including fee structure and terms of any oral or written side agreement, is to be provided. The potential effect of the tax service on the independence of the auditor is to be discussed with the auditor.

	All requests or applications for services to be provided by the independent auditor that do not require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Chief Financial Officer and must include a detailed description of the services to be rendered. The Chief Financial Officer will determine whether such services are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will be informed on a timely basis of any such services rendered by the independent auditor.

VIII.	Engagement Letters

	Pre-approved non-audit services will be provided by the auditor pursuant to an engagement letter with the appropriate entity of the Company that satisfies each of the following requirements:

	a.	the engagement letter will be in writing and signed by the auditor; and

	b.	the engagement letter will set out the particular non-audit services to be provided by the auditor which, unless individually pre-approved, will be within the categories of pre-approved non-audit services described in Exhibit B.

IX.	Reports of Services to the Audit Committee

	At every regularly scheduled meeting of the Audit Committee, the Company's management will report on all new pre-approved engagements of the auditor since the last such report. The auditor may comment on the report if it wishes to do so. All engagement letters entered into going forward will be made available to the Audit Committee on request.
