November 28, 2023
Dear Shareholders,
The directors of Rokmaster Resources Corp. (the "Company") cordially invite you to attend the 2022 annual general meeting (the "2022 Meeting") and the 2023 annual and special meeting (the "2023 Meeting", and together, and together with the 2022 Meeting, the "Meetings") of the shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders") to be successively held at the offices of the Company at Suite 615 - 625 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 2T6 on January 12, 2024.
At the 2023 Meeting, Shareholders will be asked, among other things, to pass a special resolution approving a statutory arrangement (the "Arrangement"). The Arrangement involves, among other things, a reorganization of the business and capital of the Company through the transfer of all of the common shares (the "4ME Shares") of its wholly-owned subsidiary, 4Metals Exploration Ltd. ("4ME") and the distribution of 4ME Shares to Shareholders by way of a reduction of the Company's capital and an exchange of securities of the Company. In contemplation of the Arrangement and as part of the reorganization of its business, the Company has transferred certain assets to 4ME. On the effective date of the Arrangement (the "Effective Date"), each existing common share of the Company (an "Existing RKR Share") held by a Shareholder (other than a dissenting Shareholder) will be exchanged for one new common share of the Company (a "New RKR Share") and 0.125 of a 4ME Share (or one 4ME Share distributed for every eight Existing RKR Shares held) rounded down to the next whole number of 4ME Shares.
Upon completion of the Arrangement, the Company will continue to hold and focus on the development of our Revel Ridge Project, located in British Columbia. 4ME will hold the Company's 55% interest in the Big Copper Project and 100% interest in the Duncan Lake Project. Detailed information in respect of matters contemplated by the Arrangement is set out in the attached management information circular (the "Information Circular") and documents incorporated by reference therein. You should carefully consider all of the information in the Information Circular and consult your financial, legal or other professional advisors if you require assistance.
The board of directors of the Company has unanimously approved the Arrangement and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the special resolution approving the Arrangement.
To be effective, the Arrangement must be approved by a special resolution passed by at least two-thirds (662/3%) of the votes cast by all Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the 2023 Meeting, which holders are entitled to one vote for each Existing RKR Share held. The officers and directors of the Company, holding in the aggregate approximately 16.89% of the issued and outstanding common shares, have indicated their support for the Arrangement.
Your vote is important regardless of the number of Existing RKR Shares that you own. If you are a registered holder of Existing RKR Shares, we encourage you to take the time now to complete, sign, date and return the enclosed forms of proxies by no later than 3:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) for the 2022 Meeting and no later than 3:30 p.m. (Vancouver time) for the 2023 Meeting on January 10, 2024, to ensure that your shares are voted at the respective Meetings in accordance with your instructions, whether or not you are able to attend in person. If you hold your Existing RKR Shares through a broker or other intermediary, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker or other intermediary to vote your Existing RKR Shares. Please note that in order to receive the consideration for your Existing RKR Shares, you must submit the enclosed letter of transmittal together with your share certificates representing such Existing RKR Shares by the deadline provided. Please refer to the Information Circular and letter of transmittal for further details.
We would like to thank all our Shareholders for their support as we proceed with this important step towards creating further value from our mineral projects.
Sincerely,
"John Mirko"
John Mirko
President and Chief Executive Officer

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Certain statements herein, including all statements that are not historical facts, contain forward-looking statements and forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws (collectively, "forward-looking statements"). These forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance, and are based on expectations, estimates and projections as at the date of this Information Circular or the dates of the documents incorporated herein by reference, as applicable. In particular, this Information Circular contains forward-looking statements with respect to: the transfer pursuant to the Arrangement of the Transferred Assets to 4ME; the exploration and development of the Company's mineral properties; the Company's and 4ME's future business and strategies; requirements for additional capital and future financing; estimation of mineral resources; estimated future working capital, funds available, uses of funds, future capital expenditures, exploration expenditures and other expenses for specific operations, statements regarding future exploration programs, liquidity and effects on accounting policy changes, risks and uncertainties relating to the Company being in the exploration stage, the possibility that future exploration and development results will not be consistent with the Company's expectations, accidents, equipment breakdowns, title matters and surface access, labour disputes, the potential for delays in exploration activities, the potential for unexpected costs and expenses, commodity price fluctuations, currency fluctuations, failure to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis and other risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements or information also includes information contained in pro forma financial statements.
All statements in this document, other than statements of historical fact, that address events or developments that the Company expects to occur, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, but not always, identified by words "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "intends," "estimates," "projects," "potential," "interprets," and similar expressions, or that events or conditions "will," "would," "may," "could," or "should" occur.
In addition, forward-looking information are based on various assumptions including, without limitation, receipt of regulatory, Court and Shareholder approvals; successful completion of the Arrangement and related transactions; the expectations and beliefs of management, the assumed long-term price of commodities, that the Company will receive required permits, that the Company can access financing, appropriate equipment and sufficient labour and that the political environment within Canada and the various provinces in Canada will continue to support the development of environmentally safe mining projects, as well as those factors discussed under "Risk Factors to the Arrangement" herein and under "Risk Factors" in each of Schedule "F" and Schedule "G". Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ materially from those in forward-looking statements.
Readers should also refer to the Company's most recent quarterly and annual Management Discussion and Analysis for additional information on risks and uncertainties relating to forward looking statements and information. Although we have attempted to identify factors that would cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those disclosed in the forward looking statements or information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Also, many of the factors are beyond the control of the Company. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward looking statements or information. The Company undertakes no obligation to reissue or update any forward looking statements or information as a result of new information or events after the date hereof except as may be required by law. All forward looking statements and information herein are qualified by this cautionary statement.
INFORMATION FOR UNITED STATES SHAREHOLDERS
