The Compensation Committee determines officer compensation based on performance, responsibilities, and experience. The primary components are base salary, a short-term incentive plan, and long-term incentives, with the majority of total compensation granted as incentive compensation to motivate officers to drive performance and achieve superior results for stockholders.

Peer group, and who names Dakota Gold as a peer
Companies that benchmark against DC
No companies currently name DC as a compensation peer in their most recent disclosure.
This is the complete answer, not a partial one — the list is never padded.
Chief executive pay against the peer group
Most recent fiscal-year chief executive compensation at each disclosed peer, taken from that company’s own proxy statement.
| Rank | Company | FY | Chief executive | Salary | Stock awards | Option awards | Non-equity incentive | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Dakota Gold Corp. | 2025 | Robert Quartermain | $117,500 | $250,000 | $650,421 | $0 | $1,417,921 |
Each peer’s compensation is from its most recently filed proxy; fiscal years differ by company. Each peer’s figures come from its own filings; the subject company is highlighted. Peers whose chief executive compensation is outside our coverage universe are stated as such, never left blank.
