The Opportunity

Nickel & Palladium – the Most Exciting Investment of 2020

• Electric Vehicles (EVs) creating “once-in-a-generation investment

opportunity”

• < 40% of world nickel production is suitable for battery manufacturing

• Palladium’s unique properties make it well suited to meet stricter global

emission standards

• Hybrid cars require more palladium than internal combustion engines

• The Sudbury Basin is the world’s second largest nickel mining camp

with PGM’s and copper as by-products

We believe the nickel & palladium market fundamentals are pointing in

the right direction for investors now and in years to come

Investment Summary

• SPC has two wholly owned, advanced-stage projects in the Sudbury

camp and an option on a highly prospective property.

1. The Aer-Kidd Property located 1.8 km from Vale’s (NYSE: VALE) Totten

Mine and 3 km from KGHM’s (WSE: KGH) Victoria Deposit

2. The Lockerby East Property hosts the Lockerby East and Graham West

resources

3. The Janes Ni-Cu-PGM Property located 50 km NE of Sudbury and has

potential for a high-grade massive Ni-Cu-PGM sulphide mineralization

• Experienced management team focused on exploring in Sudbury since

2001; recipient of numerous awards including the 2004 PDAC

Prospector of the Year

• Targeting a $2.0M private placement to advance key assets and

complete a public transaction by the end of 2020.

Scott McLean, Chief Executive Officer

Scott has over 30 years of experience including 23 years with Falconbridge Limited, which was acquired for

approximately USD $20 billion by Xstrata in 2006, which then subsequently merged with Glencore (LSE: GLEN)

for USD $66 billion. Scott’s experience in exploration and management resulted in the discovery of various mineral

deposits including the 17 million tonne Nickel Rim South Mine in Sudbury, Ontario. For his role in this discovery,

he was a recipient of the Prospector of the Year Award in 2004 by the Prospectors and Developers Association of

Canada. He was also appointed to the transitional board of the Professional Geoscientists of Ontario and currently

represents the profession as President.

Grant Mourre, President & Chief Operating Officer

Grant has more than 20 years of experience in the mineral exploration business primarily focused on magmatic Ni-

Cu-PGM mineralization. Through his work and research, Grant has developed in-depth knowledge of the geology and

mineralization of magmatic systems with an emphasis on the Sudbury Igneous Complex. In 2013, Grant was a co-

recipient of the Bernie Schnieders Discovery of the Year presented by the NWOPA for the Sunday Lake PGM Project

discovery.

Christopher Chadder, Chief Financial Officer

Chris is a senior executive with extensive hands on experience in management, business leadership and working

with Boards of Directors, Financial Institutions, Regulators and Corporate Council. Chris has experience with a

number of TSX-listed junior mining and development companies, including Minera Alamos, (TSXV: MAI), NWM

Mining Corp., Ursa Major Minerals and Patricia Mining Corp.
