Why Invest in Kodiak Copper Now?

Sister company of Great Bear (TSXV-GBR), which recently made one of the most significant gold discoveries globally – both companies founded by Chris Taylor

Applying Great Bear’s strategy in the copper space – unlock the value of historically drilled, underexplored assets in prime locations using new interpretation and technology

Proved our approach with Gate Zone discovery on our first drill program – best hole in the 50-year history of the MPD copper gold project in Southern BC

Drilling at MPD ongoing – significant high grade discovery in September (282m of 1.16CuEq, incl 45m of 2.75% CuEq), more results throughout Q3/4

Strong cash position and tight capital structure, only 37 million shares outstanding

Member of Discovery Group led by well-respected mining entrepreneur John Robins –access to capital, A-list geologists, reputation for rewarding shareholders

MPD – 2019 Maiden Drill Program Yielded

Best Hole in 50-Year History of Property

◆ Kodiak’s first drill program at MPD in November 2019 (1,766m) yielded excellent results

◆ Deeper drilling than historic holes

◆ Discovery hole MPD19-003 mineralized from bedrock surface to 800m, open at depth and average grade of 0.28% CuEq over 763.6m (0.21% Cu, 0.07 g/t Au and 0.77 g/t Ag)*

◆ Several higher-grade intervals including: 102m of 0.68% CuEq (0.53% Cu, 0.16 g/t Au and 1.71 g/t Ag)*

◆ Highest grades encountered just below shallow historic drilling extents

MPD – 2020 Follow-up Drilling at Gate Targets Large

Geophysical Anomaly, Indicative of Porphyry Centre

◆ 2020 ZTEMTM airborne geophysical survey provides first property-wide geophysical data down to a depth of 1000 metres

◆ Data shows large resistivity anomaly that coincides with high-grade drill intervals at Gate Zone

◆ 4000m drill program in summer 2020 targets this anomaly which may indicate a substantial porphyry centre

Mohave – Immediate Exploration Upside, Slated for

Next Drill Program

◆ Drilling in 1960's/70's identified porphyry mineralization in shallow RC holes (15)

◆ Very little recent drilling (11 holes in 2011) -historically defined targets, geophysical and geochemical anomalies remain untested

◆ Magnetics define sizeable donut-type feature, characteristic of porphyry deposits

◆ Extensive rock and soil mineralization over large area (2.5 x 2.5 km) with coincident IP anomaly
