NOTICE AND ACCESS NOTIFICATION OF ANNUAL GENERAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF

SHAREHOLDERS

to be held on December 8, 2023

NewOrigin Gold Corp. ("NewOrigin" or the "Company") has chosen to use the notice and access model for delivery of meeting materials to its shareholders. Under notice and access, shareholders still receive a proxy or voting instruction form enabling them to vote at the shareholders' meeting. However, instead of receiving a paper copy of the Information Circular, shareholders receive this notice explaining how to access such materials electronically.

Meeting date and location: Friday, December 8, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. EST at 110 Yonge Street, Suite 1601, Toronto, Ontario M5C 1T4

Purpose of Meeting:

  1. To receive and consider the comparative financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended June 30, 2023, together with the report of the auditor thereon;
  2. To elect directors for the ensuing year;
  3. To consider and, if thought fit, pass an ordinary resolution approving for the ensuing year the Company's 10% rolling stock option plan;
  4. To consider and, if thought fit, pass an ordinary resolution of the Disinterested Shareholders (as defined in the Information Circular) approving the terms of the Kinebik Transaction (as defined in the Information Circular), as more particularly described in the Information Circular;
  5. To consider and, if thought fit, pass a special resolution confirming the adoption of By-Law No. 3, as more particularly described in the Information Circular; and
  6. To appoint Stern & Lovrics LLP as auditor of the Company for the ensuing year and to authorize the directors to determine the remuneration to be paid to the auditor.

The nature of the business to be transacted at the Meeting is described in further detail in the management information circular of the Company dated October 26, 2023 (the "Information Circular").

Shareholders who are unable to attend the Meeting are requested to complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy. A proxy will not be valid unless it is deposited by mail or by fax at the office of Computershare Trust Company of Canada, Proxy Department, 100 University Avenue, 9th Floor, Toronto, ON M5J 2Y1 [Fax: Within North America: 1-866-249-7775, Outside North America: (416) 263-9524] not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays and holidays) before the time fixed for the Meeting or an adjournment thereof.

If you are a non-registered Shareholder of the Company and received this Notice and accompanying materials through a broker, a financial institution, a participant, or a trustee or administrator of a retirement savings plan, retirement income fund, education savings plan or other similar savings or investment plan registered under the Income Tax Act (Canada), or a nominee of any of the foregoing that holds your securities on your behalf (each, an "Intermediary"), please complete and return the materials in accordance with the instructions provided to you by your Intermediary.

Notice and Access

The Company is utilizing the Notice-and-Access Provisions that came into effect on February 11, 2013 under NI 54- 101 and NI 51-102 for distribution of this Circular to Shareholders.

The Notice-and-Access Provisions are a set of rules which allow reporting issuers to post electronic versions of proxy- related materials (such as proxy circulars and annual financial statements) on-line, via the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval ("SEDAR") and one other website, rather than mailing paper copies of such materials to Shareholders. Electronic copies of this Circular, financial statements of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2023 ("Financial Statements") and management's discussion and analysis of the Company's results of operations and financial condition for 2023 ("MD&A") may be found on the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com and also on the Company's website at www.neworigingold.com under "Investors/AGM Information".

The Company will not use procedures known as "stratification" in relation to the use of Notice-and-Access Provisions. Stratification occurs when a reporting issuer using the Notice-and-Access Provisions provides a paper copy of this Information Circular to some Shareholders with the notice package. In relation to the Meeting, all Shareholders will

receive the required documentation under the Notice-and-Access Provisions, which will not include a paper copy of this Circular. Shareholders are reminded to review this Circular before voting.

Although this Circular, the Financial Statements and the MD&A will be posted electronically on-line as noted above, Shareholders will receive paper copies of a "notice package" via prepaid mail containing information prescribed by NI 54-101 and NI 51-102, a form of proxy or voting instruction form, and supplemental mail list return card for Shareholders to request they be included in the Company's supplementary mailing list for receipt of the Company's annual and interim financial statements for the 2023 fiscal year.

The Company anticipates that notice-and-access will directly benefit the Company through a substantial reduction in both postage and material costs, and also promote environmental responsibility by decreasing the large volume of paper documents generated by printing proxy-related materials.

Shareholders with questions about notice-and-access can call the Company's transfer agent Computershare Trust Company at 1-866-249-7775. Shareholders may also obtain paper copies of the Information Circular, Financial Statements and MD&A free of charge by contacting the Company's Corporate Secretary at explore@neworigingold.com.

Reference is made to the Information Circular of the Company dated October 26, 2023, which contains additional details concerning the matters outlined above.
