Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders

INVITATION TO SHAREHOLDERS

We are pleased to provide you with the accompanying management information circular (the “Circular”) for the annual and special meeting (the “Meeting”) of shareholders (“Shareholders”) of Buchans Resources Limited (“Buchans” or the “Company”) to be held on May 9, 2024. Along with the ordinary annual items of business, we have an important special item of business to be approved by Shareholders at the Meeting, as described below.

On December 20, 2023, we were pleased to close the sale of certain assets in Newfoundland to Canterra Minerals Corporation (TSXV:CTM; OTCQB:CTMCF) (“Canterra”) in exchange for 24,910,000 common shares (“Consideration Shares”) and 128,464,216 special warrants (“Consideration Warrants”) of Canterra (the “Canterra Transaction”).

Among the benefits outlined in our news release announcing the closing of the Canterra Transaction, the Canterra Transaction consolidated a highly prospective base metals district in central Newfoundland, with a large mineral resource inventory across multiple deposits that ranks favourably in terms of tonnage and grade amongst the peer group, including the past producing Buchans Mine, a prolific polymetallic massive sulfide mine that was operated by ASARCO (and others) for over 50 years producing zinc and copper concentrate from high-grade ore.

Based on the closing price of Canterra’s common shares (the “Canterra Shares”) on December 20, 2023, $0.075, the total value of the consideration received by Buchans was approximately $11.5 million or $0.178 per common share of Buchans in the capital of the Company (“Buchans Share”) and, as of the date hereof and following the settlement of certain transaction expenses, that value totals $11.9 million or $0.184 per Buchans Share.

We now intend to distribute (the “Distribution”) the majority of the Canterra Shares underlying the Consideration Warrants received from the Canterra Transaction and substantially all of the Royalties Inc. (“Royalties”) common shares (“Royalties Shares” and, with the Canterra Shares to be distributed, the “Distributed Shares”) that we currently hold to Shareholders. Subject to Shareholder approval, we intend to effect the Distribution as a return-of-capital, which we believe is the most tax efficient manner of effecting the Distribution.

As described further in the Circular, we intend to retain a shareholding of Canterra Shares valued at approximately $3 million to fund our nickel, copper, cobalt and gold exploration assets in Labrador and general working capital, with the goal of advancing these long overlooked but promising assets over the next 12 to 24 months, and to provide ongoing working capital for the Company.

We are pleased, therefore, to invite you to attend the annual and special meeting of Shareholders of the Company on May 9, 2024 at 12:00 P.M. (Eastern time) to vote on a special resolution (the “Stated Capital Reduction Resolution”) authorizing and approving a reduction of the stated capital account maintained by the Company in respect of the Buchans Shares pursuant to Section 34(1)(b) of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “Stated Capital Reduction”), for the purpose of distributing the Distributed Shares to holders of Buchans Shares by way of a return of capital (the “Return of Capital”).

The full text of the Stated Capital Reduction Resolution is attached as Schedule “A” to the Circular. The adoption of the Stated Capital Reduction Resolution requires the approval of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by holders of Buchans Shares.

Buchans’ board of directors (the “Board”) has unanimously determined that the Return of Capital is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the Stated Capital Reduction Resolution.

If the Stated Capital Reduction Resolution is approved by the holders of Buchans Shares and the Distribution is approved by the Company’s Board thereafter, the Company will issue a news release announcing the amount of the Distribution, including the amount of the Return of Capital, as well as the record date for determining the Shareholders entitled to the Distribution and the date for the Distribution.

Included with this letter is the formal Notice of Meeting and the Circular, which includes information with respect to the matters to be voted on at the Meeting and directions on how to vote. We encourage you to review it for complete details of the matters, as well as their impact on you.

Representation of your Buchans Shares at the Meeting is important. We urge you, whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, to vote promptly over the internet, by telephone or by mailing a completed form of proxy or voting instruction form.

Thank you for your continued support.
