2015 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
NOTICE-AND-ACCESS NOTIFICATION TO SHAREHOLDERS
You are receiving this notification as
International Tower Hill Mines Ltd. (the “Company”) has decided to use the notice and access model for delivery of
meeting materials for its 2015 Annual General Meeting (“Meeting”) to its registered and Canadian beneficial shareholders.
This Notice and Access Notification regarding the Meeting is prepared under the notice-and-access rules that came into effect on
February 11, 2013 under National Instrument 54-101 Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer”.
Under notice and access, shareholders still receive a proxy or voting instruction form enabling them to vote at the Meeting.
However, instead of a paper copy of the Notice of Meeting and Proxy Statement/Information Circular (“Proxy Statement”),
shareholders receive this notice with information on how they may access such materials electronically. The use of this alternative
means of delivery is more environmentally responsible as it will help reduce paper use and also will reduce the cost of printing
and mailing materials to shareholders.
