Early in his career he worked as an exploration geologist on several base-metal projects.

            Corporate Governance Practices and Policies.

            The Corporation’s corporate governance practices and policies are administered by the board of directors and by committees of the board appointed to oversee specific aspects of the Corporation’s management and operations, pursuant to written charters and policies adopted by the board and such committees.

            Independence of the Board. The Corporation’s board of directors is comprised of five directors, four of whom are independent based on the definition of independence under NI 58-101 and section 803A of the NYSE MKT Company Guide. The independent directors are Timothy R. Lindsey, Larry Okada, Albert F. Appleton and John B. McCombe. The non-independent director is John G. Shanahan, who also serves as the Corporation’s president and chief executive officer. The independent directors meet outside the presence of management and Mr. Shanahan prior to or during most regularly scheduled meetings of the board. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the board of directors met seven times and the independent members of the board met separately three times.

            The following directors are also directors of other reporting issuers (or their Canadian equivalent), as indicated:

Larry Okada 6 out of 7
Albert F. Appleton 7 out of 7
John G. Shanahan 7 out of 7
John B. McCombe 6 out of 7

            The board of directors does not have a policy as to director attendance at the Corporation’s annual meetings. Two directors were present at the Corporation’s 2012 annual meeting.

            Board Charter. The board of directors has adopted a charter that among other things defines the role of the board as overseeing, directly and through its committees, the business and affairs of the Corporation, which are conducted by its officers and employees under the direction of the chief executive officer. In so doing, the board of directors acts at all times with a view to the best interests of the Corporation. The board of directors discharges its responsibilities directly and through five standing committees, these being the Compensation Committee, the Audit Committee, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, the Environmental Committee and the Safety Committee.

4


            The board of directors has reviewed and approved the mandate, structure and composition of each of these committees. The board of directors has also reviewed the board’s leadership structure and concluded that it is appropriate, having regard to the fact that the Corporation has an independent chairman. One of the functions of the board of directors is to assess the major risks facing the Corporation and to review and monitor the manner in which those risks are managed.

            Position Descriptions. The board of directors has adopted a position description for the chairman of the board and the chair of each standing committee of the board. The chairman of the board is responsible for chairing all meetings of directors in a manner that promotes meaningful discussion, providing leadership to the board to enhance the board’s effectiveness, managing the board, acting as a liaison between the board and management to promote a professional and constructive culture and, at the request of the board, representing the Corporation to external groups such as shareholders and other stakeholders, including community groups and governments. The chairs of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Environmental Committee, the Safety Committee and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee are responsible for overseeing the discharge of the duties specified in each committee’s charter.

            The board of directors has also adopted a position description for the chief executive officer, whose primary role is to effectively and efficiently manage the Corporation, meet the board’s priorities, goals and objectives, and do so with a view toward the best interests of the Corporation.

            Orientation of New Directors and Continuing Education. New directors are given a comprehensive orientation package when they are first elected or appointed to the board. From time to time, corporate officers and legal, financial and other experts are invited to attend board meetings to describe matters in their areas of expertise. In addition, the directors visit each of the Corporation’s material properties upon their election or appointment, and periodically thereafter. Under the board’s charter, management is responsible for providing an orientation and education program for new directors. Part of the mandate of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is to confirm that procedures are in place to provide new directors with an appropriate orientation to both the Corporation and their responsibilities and duties as directors and to provide directors with appropriate continuing education opportunities.

            Ethical Business Conduct. The Corporation is committed to fostering and maintaining a culture of high ethical standards and compliance, and has adopted a code of business conduct and ethics for its directors, officers and employees. A copy of the code can be found on the Corporation’s website at www.revettminerals.com. The Corporation monitors compliance with the code by requiring each director, officer and employee to review and understand the code and acknowledge that they will comply with the code. The Corporation has also adopted other policies consisting of a disclosure and insider trading policy and a whistle blower policy.

            In accordance with the CBCA, directors who are a party to, or are a director or an officer of a person which is a party to, a material contract or material transaction or a proposed material contract or proposed material transaction are required to disclose the nature and extent of their interest and not to vote on any resolution to approve the contract or transaction. In addition, in certain cases, an independent committee of the board may be formed to deliberate on such matters in the absence of the interested party.

            Audit Committee.

            Composition and Responsibilities. The Audit Committee is comprised of three or more members of the board of directors who are independent and operates pursuant to a charter adopted by the board. The charter generally authorizes the committee to assist the board in overseeing the Corporation’s financial reporting, financial control, risk management and shareholder communications. The Committee is responsible for:

  • recommending the independent auditors for appointment or re-appointment by shareholders and reviewing the appropriateness and reasonableness of the proposed audit fees;

  • overseeing the work of the independent auditors, including the resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditors concerning financial reporting;

  • obtaining timely reports from the independent auditors describing, among other things, critical accounting policies and practices and alternative treatments of information that were discussed with management;

  • reviewing and, if appropriate, recommending board of director approval of the Corporation’s annual audited financial statements, quarterly interim unaudited financial statements, management discussion and analysis, earnings news releases and any other audited or unaudited financial information contained in public disclosure documents, prior to their filing or dissemination;

  • reviewing and approving the Corporation’s hiring policies regarding current or former partners or employees of the Corporation’s current or former independent auditors;

  • confirming that the independent auditors have submitted a formal statement relating to the objectivity and independence of the independent auditors;

  • overseeing any related party transactions entered into by the Corporation; and

  • performing such other activities as are consistent with the Audit Committee’s charter and governing law that the committee or the board of directors deem necessary or appropriate.

            In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Audit Committee is authorized to conduct any investigation appropriate to its responsibilities and, may request the attendance of the independent auditors, as well as any officer of the Corporation, or the Corporation’s outside counsel, at any meeting of the committee or to meet with any members or advisors to the committee. The committee has unrestricted access to the books and records of the Corporation, and is authorized to retain special legal, accounting or other consultants or experts to assist it. The committee is further empowered to review and assess the adequacy of its mandate annually and submit any proposed revisions to the board of directors for approval.

            The composition of the Audit Committee and its members are required to meet all applicable legal, regulatory and listing requirements, including applicable securities laws and regulations, the listing requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange and NYSE MKT, and applicable provisions of the CBCA.

            Each member of the committee is required to be independent within the meaning of National Instrument 52-110 adopted by the Canadian securities administrators and to meet the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 adopted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In addition, each member of the committee is required to be financially literate within the meaning of National Instrument 52-110 and meet the financial literacy requirements of the NYSE MKT. At least one member must be an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Regulation S-K adopted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

            The Audit Committee meets no less often than quarterly. A minimum of two and at least 50% of the members of the committee present either in person or by telephone constitute a quorum for the conduct of committee business. Whenever a vacancy occurs, the remaining members may exercise all of their powers and responsibilities of the committee so long as a quorum of the committee members remains in office. Matters voted upon by the committee are decided by a majority of votes cast at the meeting. The committee may also take action in lieu of a meeting with the unanimous written consent of all the members. All decisions or recommendations of the committee require board of director approval prior to implementation. The committee is required to keep a written record of its meetings, which are also submitted to the board.

6


            Current Members. The Audit Committee is presently comprised of Mr. Okada, Mr. Lindsey and Mr. McCombe, with Mr. Okada serving as chairman. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the committee met four times. Each committee member was present at each such meeting. A copy of the Corporation’s Audit Committee charter can be found on the Corporation’s website at www.revettminerals.com.

            Pre-approval Policy. The Audit Committee has adopted a policy regarding the provision of services by its independent auditors. This policy requires the pre-approval of the Audit Committee for all permitted audit, audit-related and non-audit services. It also specifies a number of services that may not be provided by the Corporation’s independent auditors, including all services prohibited by law from being provided by the independent auditors. Unless a service has received general pre-approval from the Audit Committee, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. When specific pre-approval is required, the Audit Committee has delegated the authority to the Chair of the Audit Committee so long as the fees involved do not exceed $50,000.

            Audit Committee Report.

            The board of directors has adopted a charter for the Audit Committee that sets out the committee’s mandate, organization, powers and responsibilities. The Audit Committee charter complies with Rule 10A-3 and the requirements of the NYSE MKT.

            In the course of providing its oversight responsibilities regarding the 2012 financial statements, the Audit Committee reviewed the 2012 audited financial statements which appear in the Corporation’s Annual Report to shareholders on Form 10-K, with management and the Corporation’s independent auditors. The Audit Committee reviewed accounting principles, practices and judgments as well as the adequacy and clarity of the notes to the financial statements.

            Since the commencement of the Corporation’s most recently completed fiscal year, the board of directors has not failed to adopt a recommendation of the Audit Committee to nominate or compensate an independent auditor. The Audit Committee has adopted specific policies and procedures for the engagement of non-audit services.

            The Audit Committee reviewed the independence and performance of the independent auditors who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and such other matters as required to be communicated by the independent auditors in accordance with Statement on Auditing Standards 61, as superseded by Statement of Auditing Standard 114 – the Auditor’s Communication with Those Charged with Governance.

            The Audit Committee meets with the independent auditors to discuss their audit plans, scope and timing on a regular basis, with or without management present. The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by applicable standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board for independent auditor communications with Audit Committees concerning independence as may be modified or supplemented, concerning its independence as required under applicable standards for auditors of public companies.

            In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report to shareholders on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The board concurred with the committee’s recommendation.

            Compensation Committee.

            Composition and Responsibilities. The purpose of the Compensation Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to compensation. Specifically, the mandate specifies that the compensation committee is responsible for:

  • overseeing the development and administration of competitive policies, including policies dealing with compensation and benefits, in order to attract and retain employees of the highest standards;

  • reviewing the results of the evaluation of the performance of other senior officers by the chief executive officer and in consultation with the chief executive officer making recommendations to the board of directors concerning compensation arrangements for individual senior officers and directors;

  • conducting and reporting to the board regarding an annual performance review of the chief executive officer, including a review of the corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of the chief executive officer, an evaluation of the performance of the chief executive officer in light of those goals and objectives and determination of the chief executive officer’s compensation based on this evaluation;

  • reviewing and making recommendations to the board of directors regarding the Corporation’s equity incentive plans and reviewing appropriateness of the allocation of benefits under the plan;

  • adopting and reviewing a comprehensive statement of senior officer compensation philosophy and administering the Corporation’s compensation program in accordance with it; and

  • reviewing and staying abreast of the Corporation’s management succession program for senior officer positions.

            The Compensation Committee meets at least annually to consider and make recommendations to the board of directors. Typically, the chief executive officer of the Corporation makes recommendations to the committee concerning individual salary levels, incentive bonuses, and other forms of compensation for all of the senior officers other than himself, which are then reviewed and submitted to the full board for approval. The Compensation Committee makes its own determination concerning the chief executive officer’s salary, bonus and other types of compensation. The Compensation Committee also reviews the adequacy and form of director compensation on an annual basis. In general the Compensation Committee strives to ensure the Corporation’s compensation is competitive with that of its peers, reflects the performance of the Corporation, and is aligned with the interest of the Corporation’s shareholders. In carrying out its mandate, the Compensation Committee is authorized to hire independent counsel and advisors as it determines to carry out its duties. The Compensation Committee also prepares an annual report regarding executive compensation.

            Current Members. The Compensation Committee is presently comprised of Mr. Lindsey, Mr. Appleton and Mr. Okada, with Mr. Lindsey serving as chairman. The committee met one time during the year ended December 31, 2012. Each committee member was present at each such meeting. A copy of the Corporation’s Compensation Committee charter can be found on the Corporation’s website at www.revettminerals.com.

            Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation. During the year ended December 31, 2012 (a) no executive officer of the Corporation served as a member of the compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire board) of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on the Corporation’s Compensation Committee; (b) no executive officer of the Corporation served as a director of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on the Corporation’s Compensation Committee; and (c) no executive officer of the Corporation served as a member of the compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire board) of another entity, one of whose executive officers served as a director of the Corporation.

            The Compensation Committee did not retain any outside consultants or advisors during the year ended December 31, 2012.

            Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee.

            Composition and Responsibilities. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is comprised of three or more members of the board of directors. The primary functions of the committee are to assess the effectiveness of the board as a whole, the committees of the board and its individual members, periodically review and assess the Corporation’s governance practices, review and assess the qualifications of nominees to the board, and orient new directors as to the Corporation and their responsibilities and duties as directors. For the year ending December 31, 2013, the chairman of the board will evaluate director performance either by interviewing each director or by having each director complete and submit a written questionnaire.

            The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for establishing the qualifications and skills necessary for members of the board of directors (as well as the skills and competencies the board needs as a whole) and procedures for identifying possible nominees who meet the criteria. In discharging these responsibilities, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers diversity, age, skills, and such other factors as it deems appropriate given the current needs of the board and to maintain a balance of knowledge, experience and capability.

            The employment agreement with Mr. Shanahan is dated January 1, 2010 and provides for an annual base salary of $300,000, subject to periodic adjustments. If Mr. Shanahan’s employment is terminated without cause, he is entitled to eighteen months of salary and twelve months of benefits. If he is terminated following a change of control event or other than for good reason, he is entitled to 36 months of salary and twelve months of benefits. Mr. Shanahan may terminate the agreement unilaterally upon one month’s notice.

            The employment agreement with Mr. Eickerman is dated May 30, 2007, as amended January 16, 2010, and provides for an annual base salary of $135,000, subject to periodic adjustment. If Mr. Eickerman’s employment is terminated without cause, he is entitled to eighteen months of salary and twelve months of benefits. If he is terminated following a change of control event or other than for good reason, he is entitled to 36 months of salary and twelve months of benefits. Mr. Eickerman may terminate the agreement unilaterally upon one month’s notice.

            The amounts paid to the Chairman of the Board in 2012 were in recognition of the critical role that he has played since assuming the position of Chairman of the Board in community relations and government affairs. The fees to be paid to the Chairman of the Board in future will be reviewed if the Chairman ceases to fulfil such a role. The additional amount paid to Mr. Appleton in 2012 was in recognition of ongoing and additional work as a member of the board of directors.

            Stock Option Plans.

            The Corporation maintains an equity incentive plan (the “Plan”) that provides for the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights and shares of common stock in satisfaction of amounts owing for services. The Plan was adopted by the Corporation’s shareholders on June 19, 2007, was amended on June 16, 2009, and again on June 21, 2011 and is administered by the Compensation Committee and by the board of directors. The material provisions of the Plan and other relevant information are as follows:

13


  • Directors, executive officers, employees and consultants to the Corporation including its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Plan.

  • A maximum of 6,500,000 common shares (representing approximately 18% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Corporation as of the date hereof), are available for issuance under the Plan.

  • Options for the purchase of a total of 3,282,000 common shares (representing approximately 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Corporation as of the date of hereof) have been granted and are outstanding under the Plan.

  • The maximum number of common shares with respect to which grants may be made to any one individual under the Plan, together with any common shares reserved for issuance to such individual under any other stock option plan or arrangement, may not exceed 5% of the number of outstanding common shares of the Corporation. In addition, the maximum number of common shares with respect to which grants may be made to insiders under all share compensation arrangements at any time may not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Corporation and the maximum number of common shares issued to insiders, within a one year period, under all share compensation arrangements may not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Corporation.

  • The purchase price or exercise price of a common share reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted under the Plan is determined by the board of directors, taking into account any applicable rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange. However, in no event can the price be less than the closing price of the common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the trading date immediately preceding the date of grant.

  • A stock appreciation right may be granted under the Plan at the time an option is granted, or any time during the term of an option, and upon exercise of a stock appreciation right, the related option is cancelled to the extent unexercised, and the holder is entitled to receive payment of an amount equal to the difference between the then current market price and the exercise price. Payment of the appreciated value of the common share may be solely in cash, in common shares, or a combination thereof, in the discretion of the Compensation Committee and the board of directors. Upon exercising an option, any related stock appreciation right is cancelled. No stock appreciation rights have been granted as of the date hereof.

  • Options vest at such times as the Compensation Committee or the board of directors determine at the time of grant, provided that, subsequent to the time of grant, the Compensation Committee or the board of directors may in their discretion permit an optionee to exercise any or all unvested options.

  • No option can have a term of more than ten years measured from the date of grant.

  • Each option must specify the effect of termination of employment on the holder’s right to exercise the option. With respect to those options that have been granted as of the date hereof, the termination of an optionee’s employment for cause or his or her resignation for other than good reason terminates any unexercised options he or she may hold. If an optionee's employment is terminated for reasons other than for cause or because of death or disability, or if an optionee resigns for good reason, then the unexercised options generally may be exercised for a period of one year following termination, but in no event after the expiry date of the option, subject to the discretion of the board of directors to amend such provisions provided such amendment is not detrimental to the holder.

  • Options granted pursuant to the Plan are non-assignable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

            On June 19, 2007, the shareholders of the Corporation approved an amendment to the Plan that clarified the nature of amendments that may be made to the Plan with and without obtaining shareholder approval. The board of directors may at any time, subject to the provisions below, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan, or any portion thereof, or awards or grants made thereunder provided that no change in any award or grant previously made may be made which would impair the rights of the optionee or grantee thereunder without the consent of the affected optionee or grantee.

14


            Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the board of directors may make the following types of amendments to the Plan or awards or grants made thereunder without shareholder approval:

  • amendments of a ministerial nature including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any amendment for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, error or omission in the Plan or to correct or supplement any provision of the Plan that is inconsistent with any other provision of the Plan;

  • amendments necessary to comply with the provisions of applicable law (including, without limitation, the rules, regulations and policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange);

  • amendments respecting administration of the Plan;

  • any amendment to the vesting provisions of the Plan or any option;

  • any amendment to the early termination provisions of the Plan or any option, whether or not such option is held by an insider, provided such amendment does not entail an extension beyond the original expiry date;

  • any amendment to the termination provisions of the Plan or any option, other than an amendment extending the term of an option, provided any such amendment does not entail an extension of the expiry date of such option beyond its original expiry date;

  • the addition or modification of any form of financial assistance by the Corporation;

  • the addition or modification of a cashless exercise feature, payable in cash or common shares, whether or not there is a full deduction of the number of underlying common shares from the Plan reserve; and

  • any other amendments, whether fundamental or otherwise, not requiring shareholder approval under applicable law (including without limitation, the rules, regulations and policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange).

            Shareholder approval is required for the following types of amendments to the Plan or awards or grants made thereunder:

  • increases to the number of common shares issuable under the Plan, including an increase to a fixed maximum number of common shares or a change from a fixed maximum number of common shares to a fixed maximum percentage;

  • any amendment which reduces the exercise price of an option or a cancellation and re- grant at a lower price less than three months after the related cancellation;

  • any amendment extending the term of an option beyond its original expiry date;

  • any amendment broadening any limits imposed on non-employee director participation under the Plan;

  • any amendment respecting transferability or assignability of awards or options under the Plan, other than for normal estate settlement purposes; and

  • amendments required to be approved by shareholders under applicable law (including, without limitation, the rules, regulations and policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange).

            Compensation Committee Report. The Compensation Committee is pleased to present the following Compensation Committee report: We have reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis set forth in this Circular. Based upon review of the discussion herein, the Compensation Committee recommended to the board of directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Circular.

Respectfully submitted, members of the Compensation Committee
Timothy R. Lindsey (Chairman)
Albert F. Appleton
Larry Okada

            Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

            Compensation Philosophy and Policies. The Corporation’s executive compensation program is designed to attract and retain the best possible executive talent and to provide an economic framework to compensate executives and senior management to meet the Corporation’s business goals and objectives. Base compensation is comprised of salary and an annual stock option award. Incentive, or bonus compensation, is based upon overall corporate performance for the previous financial year and adjusted for specific individual performance. Incentive compensation is issued as either cash or stock, or a combination of both.

            The key elements to executive base compensation is an annual base salary along with an annual stock option award. The level of overall base compensation is predicated on the position held, the executive officer’s experience, and the market for executive talent. Executive officers and senior management of the Corporation are eligible to receive bonus compensation in the form of cash and/or stock. Bonus compensation is reviewed by the Compensation Committee at the end of each financial year and is based primarily on the following criteria for both the Corporation and individual’s overall performance:

Criteria Relative
  Importance
   
Safety Performance 40%
Production/Resource Management 20%
Cash Flow/Profitability 20%
Share Price/Market Performance 20%

            Typically, the principal executive officer of the Corporation makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee concerning individual annual base salary levels and incentive bonuses which are then reviewed and submitted to the full board of directors for approval. The Compensation Committee makes its own recommendation concerning the principal executive officer’s base salary, incentive bonus and other types of compensation. The board of directors has traditionally maintained base compensation at levels roughly in line with those of other companies within a peer group.

            The Compensation Committee and board of directors awarded cash bonuses during the year ended December 31, 2012, to the persons and in the amounts set forth in the executive compensation table that appears elsewhere in this Circular. These bonuses were given in recognition of Corporation and individual performance during the 2012 financial year.

            Compensation of the Principal Executive Officer. Mr. Shanahan’s annual base salary is currently $330,000. During the year ended December 31, 2012, Mr. Shanahan was awarded 50,000 stock options with an exercise price of $4.18 per share. These stock options are immediately vested, expire on April 1, 2017 and had a Black–Scholes fair value of $90,345 at the time the stock options were issued. In addition, Mr. Shanahan received a bonus of $87,000 for 2012.

            Changes in Control. The Corporation does not know of any arrangement, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the Corporation.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

            Related Party Transactions. Trafiguara AG has a contract to purchase the silver and copper concentrates produced at Troy. Trafigura Beheer B.V., which is affiliated with Trafigura AG, is the beneficial owner of more than five percent of our outstanding common shares, and is therefore a related party. Trafigura AG paid us $52 million for these concentrates during the nine months ended December 31, 2012; it did not pay us anything during the comparable period in 2013, owing to the fact that we produced no concentrate at Troy during the period. We believe the terms and conditions of our contract with Trafigura AG are neither more favorable nor less favorable than the terms and conditions we could have obtained from unrelated concentrate purchasers.
