Divested the Town of Kombat and associated liabilities and divested all exploration properties and associated expenses

Cleaned up the corporate structure

Completed a 2,000 meter drill program designed to define areas that can host near surface resources. Program was successful in defining areas requiring additional drilling in order for them to be incorporated into a resource classification.

A plan, schedule and budget were presented to the Namibia water authority that would allow them to pump water up to 1600m3/hour and provide supply to the country. Kombat Copper would get increased access to underground workings at no operating or capital costs for dewatering.

MOA signed with Namibian Based company to mine lead mineralization at Kombat Mine and Gross Otavi

2015

Completed scanning historic documents and expanding the mine database. Over 27,000 documents scanned and electronically filed.

2016

In 2015 Kombat Copper focused exclusively on the Kombat Mine asset. The Company continued with costing cutting measures and focused efforts on the Kombat Mine site clean up. Key milestones included:

Page 5: Kombat Copper AGM 2015 Presentation

• There are now expanded production scenarios for Kombat Mine, both

underground and open pit. Significant amounts of additional work are required

to attain production.

• Future consideration must be given to increased production over and above

historic production rates, increased mill capacity, the processing of oxide and

sulphide ores and the recovery of lead from the eastern parts of the mine.

• Relatively low cost to attain production in short time frames compared to a new

mine start up.

Page 6: Kombat Copper AGM 2015 Presentation

• Anticipate limited production startup in 2016 using a contract miner with an emphasis on producing lead concentrates from the Kombat East area.

• Continue with the program of getting all of the underground workings at Kombat Mine developed into a 3D model.

• Continue consolidation of the corporate structure

• Continuation of cost saving measures

• Further work program depends on ability to finance

• Earliest production scenario for Kombat

• Kombat East needs to be re-assessed to determine if it is in fact a large lead deposit with significant copper and silver credits.

• Currently dewatered to 3 level and water level continues to drop with increased pumping from the # 1 shaft.

• Additional drilling required.

• Can be accessed via ramp. Shaft does not have to be operational.
