IN THE MATTER OF R.R.O. 1990, REGULATION 289/00, AS AMENDED (the Regulation) UNDER THE BUSINESS CORPORATIONS ACT (ONTARIO), R.S.O. 1990 c. B.16, AS AMENDED (the OBCA) AND IN THE MATTER OF GENERIC GOLD CORP.

CONSENT (Subsection 4(b) of the Regulation)

UPON the application of Generic Gold Corp. (the Applicant) to the Ontario Securities Commission (the Commission) requesting a consent from the Commission to continue into another jurisdiction pursuant to Section 181 of the OBCA (the Continuance);

AND UPON considering the application and the recommendation of the staff of the Commission;

AND UPON the Applicant having represented to the Commission that:

1. The Applicant is an offering corporation under the OBCA.

2. The Applicant's common shares (the Common Shares) are listed and posted for trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the Exchange) under the symbol "GGC". As at September 19, 2019, the Applicant had 37,953,365 common shares issued and outstanding.

3. The Applicant proposes to apply to the Director pursuant to Section 181 of the OBCA for authorization to continue as a corporation under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), S.B.C. 2002, c.57 (the BCBCA).

4. The principal reason for the Continuance is that the BCBCA has no requirement for directors of a British Columbia company to be residents of Canada, as does the OBCA. Due to the proposed business combination of the Applicant and OG DNA Genetics Inc., it is anticipated that a majority of the Applicant's new directors will be non-resident Canadians upon completion of the proposed business combination.

5. The material rights, duties and obligations of a corporation governed by the BCBCA are substantially similar to those of a corporation governed by the OBCA.

6. The Applicant is a reporting issuer under the Securities Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. S.5, as amended (the Act), the Securities Act (Alberta), R.S.A. 2000, c. S-4 and the Securities Act (British Columbia), R.S.B.C. 1996, C.418 (collectively, the Legislation) and will remain a reporting issuer in these jurisdictions following the Proposed Continuance.

7. The Applicant is not in default under any provision of the OBCA, the Act or the Legislation, including the regulations made thereunder;

8. The Applicant is not subject to any proceeding under the OBCA, the Act or the Legislation.

9. The Applicant is not in default of any provision of the rules, regulations or policies of the Exchange.

10. Following the Continuance, the Applicant intends to change its principal regulator from the Ontario Securities Commission to the British Columbia Securities Commission.

11. The Applicant's management information circular dated May 24, 2019 for its annual general and special meeting of shareholders held on June 21, 2019 (the Shareholders' Meeting), described the proposed Continuance, the reasons for it and its implications as well as full particulars of the dissent rights of the Applicant's shareholders under section 185 of the OBCA.

12. The Applicant's shareholders authorized the Continuance at the Shareholders' Meeting by a special resolution approved by 100% of the votes cast; no shareholders exercised dissent rights pursuant to section 185 of the OBCA.

13. Subsection 4(b) of the Regulation requires an application for continuance to be accompanied by a consent from the Commission.

AND UPON the Commission being satisfied that to do so would not be prejudicial to the public interest;

THE COMMISSION CONSENTS to the continuance of the Applicant as a corporation under the BCBCA.

DATED at Toronto on this 17th day of October 2019.
