BYLAWS OF 

DAKOTA GOLD CORP.

Adopted by the Board of Directors on March 30, 2022

Article 1. Stockholders’ Meetings

1.1            Place of Meetings. Meetings of the stockholders shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Nevada, as the board of directors shall determine. Rather than holding a meeting at any designated place, the board of directors may determine that a meeting shall be held solely by means of remote communications, which means shall meet the requirements of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”). The board of directors may determine when exigent circumstances exist, which shall include, without limitation, during any nuclear or atomic disaster, or during the existence of any catastrophe, or other similar emergency condition, including, but not limited to, an epidemic or pandemic, and a declaration of a national emergency by the United States government.

1.2            Annual Meeting. The stockholders must hold an annual meeting of the stockholders for the election of the directors and the transaction of such other business as may be properly brought before the meeting, at least once in each calendar year and not more than 13 months after the last annual reference date at such time and place as may be determined by the board of directors. Business to be brought before an annual meeting of the stockholders may include, without limitation:

(h)   Business arising out of a report of the directors not requiring the passing of a special resolution or an exceptional resolution; and

(i)    Any other business which, under these bylaws or the NRS, may be transacted at a meeting of stockholders without prior notice of the business being given to the stockholders.

1.3            Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called by the board of directors. No other person or persons may call a special meeting. The business to be transacted at any special meeting shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.

1.4            Remote Communications. The board of directors may permit the stockholders and their proxy holders to participate in meetings of the stockholders (whether such meetings are held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication) using one or more methods of remote communication that satisfy the requirements of the NRS. The board of directors may adopt such guidelines and procedures applicable to participation in stockholders’ meetings by means of remote communication as it deems appropriate. Participation in a stockholders’ meeting by means of a method of remote communication permitted by the board of directors shall constitute presence in person at the meeting. Nothing in this Section 1.4 shall obligate the corporation to make any action or provide any facility to permit or facilitate the use of any communications medium at a meeting of stockholders.

1.5            Notice of Meetings. Notice of the place, if any, date and hour of any stockholders’ meeting shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote. The notice shall state the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed present in person and vote at the meeting. If the voting list for the meeting is to be made available by means of an electronic network or if the meeting is to be held solely by remote communication, the notice shall include the information required to access the reasonably accessible electronic network on which the corporation will make its voting list available either prior to the meeting or, in the case of a meeting held solely by remote communication, during the meeting. Notice of a special meeting shall also state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting has been called. Unless otherwise provided in the NRS, for so long as the corporation is a public company, notice shall be given at least 21 days (or 10 days to the extent the corporation is not a public company) but not more than 60 days before the date of the meeting. Without limiting the manner by which notice may otherwise be given, notice may be given by a form of electronic transmission that satisfies the requirements of the NRS and has been consented to by the stockholder to whom notice is given. If mailed, notice shall be deemed given when deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder’s address as it appears in the corporation’s records. If given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom notice is given, notice shall be deemed given at the times specified with respect to the giving of notice by electronic transmission in the NRS. An affidavit of the corporation’s secretary, an assistant secretary or an agent of the corporation that notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated in the affidavit.

1.6            Quorum. The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of 33 1/3 percent of the voting power of the stock entitled to vote at a meeting shall constitute a quorum. Where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series of stock is required at a meeting, the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of 33 1/3 percent of the voting power of each such class or series shall also be required to constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, either the chairperson of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the voting power of the stock present, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the meeting may adjourn the meeting in the manner provided in Section 1.7 until a quorum shall be present. A quorum, once established at a meeting, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of the holders of enough voting power to leave less than a quorum. If a quorum is present at an original meeting, a quorum need not be present at an adjourned session of that meeting.

1.7            Adjournment of Meetings. Either the chairperson of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the voting power of the stock present, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the meeting may adjourn any meeting of stockholders from time to time. At any adjourned meeting the stockholders may transact any business that they might have transacted at the original meeting. Notice of an adjourned meeting need not be given if the time and place, if any, or the means of remote communications to be used rather than holding the meeting at any place are announced at the meeting so adjourned, except that notice of the adjourned meeting shall be required if the adjournment is for more than 30 days or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting.

1.8            Voting List. At least 10 days before every meeting of the stockholders, the secretary of the corporation shall prepare a complete alphabetical list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting showing each stockholder’s address and number of shares. This voting list need not include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information for any stockholder nor need it contain any information with respect to beneficial owners of the shares of stock owned although it may do so. For a period of at least 10 days before the meeting, the voting list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting either on a reasonably accessible electronic network (provided that the information required to gain access to the list is provided with the notice of the meeting) or during ordinary business hours at the corporation’s principal place of business. If the list is made available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that it is available only to stockholders. If the stockholders’ meeting is held at a place, the voting list shall be produced and kept at that place for the entire duration of the meeting. If the stockholders’ meeting is held solely by means of remote communications, the voting list shall be made available for inspection on a reasonably accessible electronic network for the entire duration of the meeting. In either case, any stockholder may inspect the voting list at any time during the meeting.

1.9            Vote Required. Subject to the provisions of NRS requiring a higher level of votes to take certain specified actions and to the terms of the corporation’s certificate of incorporation that set special voting requirements, the stockholders shall take action on all matters other than the election of directors by a majority of the voting power of the stock present, in person or by proxy, at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter. The stockholders shall elect directors by a plurality of the voting power of the stock present, in person or by proxy, at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter.

1.10            Chairperson; Secretary. The following people shall preside over any meeting of the stockholders: the chairperson of the board of directors, if any, or, in the chairperson’s absence, the president, or, in the absence of all of the foregoing persons, a chairperson designated by the board of directors, or, in the absence of a chairperson designated by the board of directors, a chairperson chosen by the stockholders at the meeting. In the absence of the secretary and any assistant secretary, the chairperson of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

1.11            Rules of Conduct. The board of directors or the chairperson may adopt such rules, regulations and procedures for the conduct of any meeting of the stockholders as it deems appropriate including, without limitation, rules, regulations and procedures regarding participation in the meeting by means of remote communication. Except to the extent inconsistent with any applicable rules, regulations or procedures adopted by the board of directors, the chairperson of any meeting may adopt such rules, regulations and procedures for the meeting, and take such actions with respect to the conduct of the meeting, as the chairperson of the meeting deems appropriate. The rules, regulations and procedures adopted may include, without limitation, rules that (i) establish an agenda or order of business, (ii) are intended to maintain order and safety at the meeting, (iii) restrict entry to the meeting after the time fixed for its commencement, and (iv) limit the time allotted to stockholder questions or comments. Unless otherwise determined by the board of directors or the chairperson of the meeting, meetings of the stockholders need not be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

1.12            Inspectors of Elections. The board of directors or the chairperson of a stockholders’ meeting may appoint one or more inspectors of election and any substitute inspectors to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. Inspectors may be officers, employees or agents of the corporation. Each inspector, before entering on the discharge of the inspector’s duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of the inspector’s ability. Inspectors shall have the duties prescribed by the Nevada Revised Statutes. At the request of the chairperson of the meeting, the inspector or inspectors shall prepare a written report of the results of the votes taken and of any other question or matter determined by the inspector or inspectors.

1.13            Record Date. If the corporation proposes to take any action for which the NRS would permit it to set a record date, the board of directors may set such a record date as provided under the NRS.

1.14            Written Consent. Any action required or allowed to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, provided that a consent in writing which describes the action so taken shall be signed by a majority of the stockholders entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter of the consent, except that: (a) if any greater proportion of voting power is required for such action at a meeting, then the greater proportion of written consents is required; and (b) this provision for action by written consent does not supersede any specific provision for action by written consent contained in the Nevada statutes.

1.15            Representative of a Stockholder. If a corporation that is not a subsidiary of the corporation is a stockholder, that corporation may appoint a person to act as its representative at any meeting of stockholders of the corporation, and:

Article 2. Directors

2.1            Number and Qualifications. The board of directors shall consist of such number as may be fixed from time to time by resolution of the board of directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if the corporation is a public company, the number of directors shall be the greater of three and the most recently set of (i) the number of directors set by ordinary resolution (whether or not previous notice of the resolution was given) and (ii) such number of directors that is elected annually or continued in office in the case of a retiring director, and (b) if the corporation is not a public company, the number of directors shall be the most recently set of (i) the number of directors set by ordinary resolution (whether or not previous notice of the resolution was given), and (ii) such number of directors that is elected annually or continued in office in the case of a retiring director. Directors need not be stockholders.

2.4            Vacancies. Any vacancy in the board of directors, including a vacancy resulting from an enlargement of the board of directors, may be filled by a vote of the majority of the remaining directors, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. If the corporation at the time has outstanding any classes or series or class or series of stock that have or has the right, alone or with one or more other classes or series or class or series, to elect one or more directors, then any vacancy in the board of directors caused by the death, resignation or removal of a director so elected shall be filled only by a vote of the majority of the remaining directors so elected, by a sole remaining director so elected or, if no director so elected remains, by the holders of those classes or series or that class or series. A director appointed by the board of directors shall hold office for the remainder of the term of the director he or she is replacing. Any act or proceeding of the directors is not invalid merely because fewer than the number of directors set or otherwise required under these bylaws is in office. The board of directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in the board of directors, but if the corporation has fewer directors in office than the number set pursuant to these bylaws as the quorum of directors, the board of directors may only act for the purpose of appointing directors up to that number or of summoning a meeting of stockholders for the purpose of filling any vacancies on the board of directors or, subject to the NRS, for any other purpose.

2.5            Regular Meetings. The board of directors may hold regular meetings without notice at such times and places as it may from time to time determine, provided that notice of any such determination shall be given to any director who is absent when such a determination is made and provided that subject to exigent circumstances, all meetings shall be held within the United States of America. A regular meeting of the board of directors may be held without notice immediately after and at the same place as the annual meeting of the stockholders.

2.6            Special Meetings. Special meetings of the board of directors may be called by the chairperson of the board of directors, the president or by any director.

2.8            Quorum. A majority of the directors in office at the time shall constitute a quorum. Thereafter, a quorum shall be deemed present for purposes of conducting business and determining the vote required to take action for so long as at least a third of the total number of directors is present.

2.11            Use of Communications Equipment. Directors may participate in meetings of the board of directors or any committee of the board of directors by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Participation in a meeting in this manner shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

2.12            Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the board of directors may be taken without a meeting if all of the directors consent to the action in writing or by electronic transmission. The writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the board of directors or of the relevant committee.

2.13            Compensation of Directors. The board of directors shall from time to time determine the amount and type of compensation to be paid to directors for their service on the board of directors and its committees, or if the directors shall decide, such compensation shall be determined by the stockholders.

The directors shall be repaid such reasonable travelling, hotel and other expenses as they incur in and about the business of the corporation and if any director shall perform any professional or other service for the corporation that in the opinion of the directors is outside the ordinary duties of a director or shall otherwise be specially occupied in or about the corporation’s business, he may be paid a compensation to be fixed by the board of directors, or, at the option of such director, by the stockholders, and such compensation may be either in addition to, or in substitution for any other compensation that he may be entitled to receive. The directors on behalf of the corporation, unless otherwise determined by the board of directors, may pay a gratuity or pension or allowance on retirement to any director who has held any salaried office or place of profit with the corporation or to his spouse or dependents and may make contributions to any fund and pay premiums for the purchase or provision of any such gratuity, pension or allowance.

2.14            Committees. The board of directors may designate one or more committees, including without limitation, an executive committee, each of which shall consist of one or more directors. The board of directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the board of directors to act at the meeting in place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any committee shall, to the extent provided in a resolution of the board of directors and subject to the limitations contained in the NRS, have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the board of directors in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation. Each committee shall keep such records and report to the board of directors in such manner as the board of directors may from time to time determine. Except as the board of directors may otherwise determine, any committee may make rules for the conduct of its business. Unless otherwise provided in a resolution of the board of directors or in rules adopted by the committee, each committee shall conduct its business as nearly as possible in the same manner as is provided in these bylaws for the board of directors.

4.4            Transfer of Shares. Registration of transfer of shares of the corporation’s stock shall be made only on the books of the corporation at the request of the registered holder or of the registered holder’s duly authorized attorney (as evidenced by a duly executed power of attorney provided to the corporation) and upon surrender of the certificate or certificates representing those shares, if in certificated form, properly endorsed or accompanied by a duly executed stock power. The board of directors may make further rules and regulations concerning the transfer and registration of shares of stock and the certificates representing them and may appoint a transfer agent or registrar or both and may require all stock certificates to bear the signature of either or both.

4.5            Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Certificates. The corporation may issue a new stock certificate of stock in the place of any certificate theretofore issued by it alleged to have been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated. The board of directors may require the owner of the allegedly lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or the owner’s legal representatives, to give the corporation such bond or such surety or sureties as the board of directors, in its sole discretion, deems sufficient to indemnify the corporation against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction or the issuance of such new certificate and, in the case of a certificate alleged to have been mutilated, to surrender the mutilated certificate.

4.6            Personal Representative Recognized on Death. In the case of the death of a stockholder, the survivor or survivors where the deceased was a joint registered holder, and the legal personal representative of the deceased where he was the sole holder, shall be the only persons recognized by the corporation as having any title to his interest in the shares. Before recognizing any legal personal representative the board of directors may require him to deliver to the corporation the original or a court-certified copy of a grant of probate or such other evidence and documents as the board of directors consider appropriate in order to establish the right of the personal representative to such title to the interest in the shares of the deceased stockholder.

4.7            Death or Bankruptcy. Upon the death or bankruptcy of a stockholder, his personal representative or trustee in bankruptcy, although not a stockholder, shall have the same rights, privileges and obligations that attach to the shares formerly held by the deceased or bankrupt stockholder if the documents required by the NRS shall have been deposited with the corporation. This Section does not apply on the death of a stockholder with respect to shares registered in his name and the name of another person in joint tenancy.

4.8            Persons in Representative Capacity. Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a stockholder shall, upon such documents and evidence being produced to the corporation as the NRS requires or who becomes entitled to a share as a result of an order of a Court of competent jurisdiction or a statute, have the right either to be registered as a stockholder in his representative capacity in respect of such share, or, if he is a personal representative, instead of being registered himself, to make such transfer of the share as the deceased or bankrupt person could have made; but the board of directors shall, as regards a transfer by a personal representative or trustee in bankruptcy, have the same right, if any, to decline or suspend registration of a transferee as they would have in the case of a transfer of a share by the deceased or bankrupt person before the death or bankruptcy.

Article 5. General Provisions

5.1            Waiver of Notice. Any stockholder or director may execute a written waiver or give a waiver by electronic transmission of notice of the meeting, either before or after such meeting. Any such waiver shall be filed with the records of the corporation. If any stockholder or director shall be present at any meeting it shall constitute a waiver of notice of the meeting, except when that stockholder or director attends for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. A waiver of notice of meeting need not specify the purposes of the meeting.

5.2            Electronic Transmissions. For purposes of these bylaws, “electronic transmission” shall mean a form of communication not directly involving the physical transmission of paper that satisfies the requirements with respect to such communications contained in the NRS.

5.3            Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the board of directors.

5.4            Voting Stock of Other Organizations. Except as the board of directors may otherwise designate, each of the chief executive officer and the treasurer may waive notice of, and act as, or appoint any person or persons to act as, proxy or attorney-in-fact for the corporation (with power of substitution) at any meeting of the stockholders, members or other owners of any other corporation or organization the securities or ownership interests of which are owned by the corporation.

5.6            Amendment of Bylaws. These bylaws, including any bylaws adopted or amended by the stockholders, may be amended or repealed by the board of directors.

Article 6. Indemnification

6.1            Indemnification. The corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify every person who is or was a party or is or was threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (an “Action”), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, trustee, plan administrator or plan fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (an “Indemnified Person”), against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement or other disposition that the Indemnified Person actually and reasonably incurs in connection with the Action and shall reimburse each such person for all legal fees and expenses reasonably incurred by such person in seeking to enforce its rights to indemnification under this Article (by means of legal action or otherwise).

6.2            Advancement of Expenses. Upon written request from an Indemnified Person, the corporation shall pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any Action in advance of the final disposition of such Action. The corporation’s obligation to pay expenses pursuant to this Section shall be contingent upon the Indemnified Person providing the undertaking required by the NRS.

6.3            Non-Exclusivity. The rights of indemnification and advancement of expenses contained in this Article shall not be exclusive of any other rights to indemnification or similar protection to which any Indemnified Person may be entitled under any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, insurance policy or otherwise.

6.4            Heirs and Beneficiaries. The rights created by this Article shall inure to the benefit of each Indemnified Person and each heir, executor and administrator of such Indemnified Person.

6.5            Effect of Amendment. Neither the amendment, modification or repeal of this Article nor the adoption of any provision in these bylaws inconsistent with this Article shall adversely affect any right or protection of an Indemnified Person with respect to any act or omission that occurred prior to the time of such amendment, modification, repeal or adoption.
