FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The materials contained herein are for informational purposes only. This is not considered an offer or solicitation to sell securities in any company in any manner.

Except for the statements of historical fact contained herein, the information presented constitutes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Act (Ontario). Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievement of the Company to be materially different any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. There may be factors that involve risk and uncertainty that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, the reader should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

To the investor. The technical information reported herein is in part historic in nature and was disclosed and recorded prior tothe implementation of National Instrument 43-101 Rules and Policies, defining disclosure of scientific and technical information. The information has been verified and scrutinized to the extent that can be determined through a review and compilation of archival records, whether obtained from the public domain or from private sources. The technical information has been deemed to have been acquired, recorded and analyzed to acceptable industry standards at the time it was acquired. There is no reason to doubt the veracity of this information, however, confirmation of grades and mineralized extent has not been performed. The technical information contained in this presentation has been reviewed by Walter Hanych P.Geo, the Company’s CEO and President and a Qualified Person as defined in National Instrument 43-101.

The Company refers to a historical resource estimate of 234,648 ounces. This historical estimate is based on prior data and reports obtained and prepared by previous operators, and information provided by governmental authorities. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to verify the classification of the mineral resource estimates in accordance with currentCIM categories. The Company is not treating the historical estimate as a current NI 43-101-compliant mineral resource estimate. Accordingly, this historical estimate should not be relied upon. Establishing a current mineral resource estimate on the Lingman Lake deposit will require further evaluation, which the Company and its consultants intend to complete in due course. Additional information regarding historical resource estimates is available in the technical report entitled, “TechnicalReport on the Lingman Lake Property” dated January 31, 2020, prepared by John M. Siriunas, P.Eng. and Walter Hanych, P.Geo., available on the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com

• Accelerated initial NI 43-101 resource estimate for Q2/22

• Positioning for targeted follow-up diamond drilling in Q2/Q3

• Upcoming work on the deposit will focus on further infill and extension drilling to continue advancing the resource

• Unlocking Vast Regional “District-Level” Potential:

• Over 14 high-potential targets identified

• Surface mapping/sampling + Geophysics leading to start test-drilling top-ranked targets in Q3

• By publishing an initial resource, we are aiming to demonstrate to the

market the size potential at Lingman Lake

• Management aiming to re-rate the valuation to allow for the market to fund the next level of resource growth potential through the drill bit

Power & Roads UnderwayProvincial Governments have started the second phase infrastructure construction to complete year-round road to Red Sucker Lake and Sachigo Lake. Power line exists to Red Sucker Lake and soon to Sachigo Lake.

https://www.wataypower.ca/

Phase 2 – Proposed Design to Sachigo Lake (Purple)

✓ The Project is the construction, operation, maintenance and retirement of approximately 1,630 km of a 115kV, 44kV, 25kV alternating current transmission system, located north of Red Lake and Pickle Lake, to connect to 17 remote First Nation communities. Phase 2 includes the following main components:

✓ Overhead 115kV and 44kV transmission lines for two subsystems, north of Pickle Lake and Red Lake, and associated components that will be located within a 2 km wide corridor. An approximate 40m-wide transmission line alignment right of way will be cleared within the 2 km wide corridor. The transmission line structures and associated conductors and anchors will be installed within the approximate 40m wide transmission line alignment right of way to the extent practical.

✓ Access Roads will be constructed and or improved to provide access to the transmission line and approximate 40 m wide alignment right of way during construction and operation of the facility.

✓ Wherever possible, the new transmission lines and construction access roads will be constructed along the paths of existing all-season roads, or the paths of future all-season roads as identified by the First Nation Communities.
