This presentation contains “forward-looking information” (also referred to herein as “forward-looking statements”) under the provisions of applicable Canadian securities legislation. Generally, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “believes” or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will”, “occur” or “be achieved” or the negative connotation thereof. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those in respect of: the economic outlook for the mining industry; expectations regarding metal prices; the timing and amount of estimated future production; the current and planned commercial operations, initiatives and objectives in respect of certain projects of Trevali Mining Corporation (“Trevali” or “TV”), including the Perkoa, Caribou, Rosh Pinah and Santander mines (the “Mines”); the estimation of mineral reserves and mineral resources; the realization of mineral reserve estimates, changes in mineral resources and conversion of mineral resources to proven and probable mineral reserves; Trevali’s current and planned exploration initiatives; strategies and objectives in respect of the Mines; liquidity, capital resources and expenditures; sustainability and environmental initiatives and objectives; business development strategies and outlook; leverage metrics; debt repayment schedules; planned work programs and drilling programs in respect of the Mines; achieving projected recovery rates; anticipated mine life, recovery rates and
targeted cost reductions; exploration and expansion potential; success of exploration activities; permitting and certification timelines; currency fluctuations; requirements for additional capital; government regulation of mining operations; environmental matters; closure obligations and unanticipated reclamation expenses; title disputes or claims; limitations on insurance coverage; the timing and possible outcome of pending litigation; Trevali’s intention to launch a normal course issuer bid and the timing, terms and conditions of any purchases thereunder; and other information that is based upon forecasts of future operational or financial results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of factors and assumptions that, if untrue, could cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such statements. Assumptions have been made regarding, among other things: present and future business strategies and the environment in which Trevali will operate in the future, including commodity prices, anticipated costs and ability to achieve goals; Trevali’s ability to carry on its exploration and development activities; Trevali’s ability to meet its obligations under property agreements; the timing and results of drilling programs; the discovery of mineral resources and mineral reserves on Trevali’s mineral properties; the timely receipt of required approvals and permits, including those approvals and permits required for successful project permitting, construction and operation
ability to obtain financing as and when required and on reasonable terms; Trevali’s ability to continue operating; dilution and mining recovery assumptions; assumptions regarding stockpiles; the success of mining, processing, exploration and development activities; the accuracy of geological, mining and metallurgical estimates; no significant unanticipated operational or technical difficulties; maintaining good relations with the communities; no significant events or changes relating to regulatory, environmental, health and safety matters; certain tax matters; and no significant and continuing adverse changes in general economic conditions or conditions in the financial markets (including commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and inflation rates). Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list is not exhaustive of all factors and assumptions which may have been used.

Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of Trevali and/or the Mines to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to, those in respect of: risks related to the integration of acquisitions; volatility of the price of zinc, lead, silver and other metals; international operations including economic and political instability in foreign jurisdictions in which Trevali operates; current global financial conditions; joint venture operations; actual results of current and planned exploration activities; actual results of drilling programs; discrepancies between actual and estimated production, mineral reserves and mineral resources, grade and metallurgical recoveries; failure to replace mineral reserves; mining operational and development risks; actual results of current reclamation activities; environmental policies and risks; conclusions of economic evaluations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; changes in the market, demand, supply and/or uses of zinc and copper; accidents; labour disputes; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities and other risks of the mining industry; inaccuracies or changes in the consolidated zinc production, exploration and operational guidance for the Mines; inaccuracies or changes in the analysis of the exploration potential of the Mines; failure to complete the work programs or drilling programs at the Mines; delays, suspensions or technical challenges associated with capital projects; risks relating to reliance on historical data; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; inaccuracies or changes in the growth pipelines of the Mines; taxation risks; title risks; opposition from community or indigenous groups; compliance with laws, including environmental laws; exchange controls; higher prices for fuel, steel, power, labour and other consumables; political or economic instability and unexpected regulatory changes; as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Trevali’s most recent management’s discussion and analysis and annual information form available under Trevali’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Although Trevali has attempted to identify important factors, assumptions and risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be others that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking
expectations and opinions of management on the date the statements are made and, accordingly, are subject to change. Trevali assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements that are included in this presentation, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Non-IFRS Measures This presentation refers to “EBITDA” (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), “Adjusted EBITDA”, “net debt”, “Adjusted working capital”, ”Operating Cost per tonne”, “C1 Cash Cost per pound” and “All-In Sustaining Cost”, which are financial performance measures with no standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Such non‐IFRS financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management uses these measures internally to evaluate the underlying
evaluate the results of the underlying business of Trevali. Management understands that certain investors, and others who follow Trevali’s performance, also assess performance in this way. Management believes that these measures reflect Trevali’s performance and are better indications of its expected performance in future periods. This data is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. For further detail, see “Non-IFRS Measures” in Trevali’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2018. The information presented herein was approved by management of Trevali on February 20, 2019.

1. EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is calculated by considering Company's earnings before interest payments, tax, depreciation and amortization are subtracted for any final accounting of its income and expenses. The EBITDA of a business gives an indication of its current operational profitability and is a non-IFRS measure calculated on 100% basis. See “Non-IFRS Measures” above. 2. Adjusted Earnings per Share consists of (loss) income per share less the impact of impairments or reversals of impairment and other non-cash expenses or recoveries. See “Non-IFRS Measures” above. 3. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA less the impact of impairments or reversals of impairment and other non-cash expenses or recoveries. See “Non-IFRS Measures” above. 4. The Adjusted working capital reclassifies management’s estimate of the Revolving Credit Facility to non-current liabilities. See “Non-IFRS Measures” above.

Trevali completed an impairment analysis which considered the indicators of impairment in accordance with IAS 36: Impairment of Assets; and reduced the carrying value of its mine operations by a net $263 million (comprised of $311.8 million impairment of property, plant and equipment, goodwill and exploration and evaluation assets and deferred tax recovery of $48.8 million). The Company is fully compliant with its debt covenants following the impairment. Impairment Areas of particular significance in the carrying value review included:
geotechnical challenges at Caribou, the harder ore and head grade challenges at Rosh Pinah, as well as overall inflationary cost pressures across the Company’s assets.
Gergarub, on the back of the longer-term street consensus metal pricing; and
improve future cash flows and creating a strong platform to build future shareholder value.

In-mine and regional discovery drill program in progress. Control 6 deposits in one of the world’s larger VMS Districts. Unlocking the project pipeline with potential to provide +20 years of mine to mill strategy. Pipe Target – multiple high grade Zn lenses intersected and continuing to extend the high-grade zones at depth. Property scale multi- disciplinary targeting identifies additional hydrothermal centres – follow up exploration in progress Perkoa resource expansion drilling continued to extend high-grade zinc hangingwall. Continue to test the depth and lateral extents of Perkoa system. Regional exploration confirms presence of two new VMS systems – drill testing in progress. ➢ Aim is to expand and discover new mineral resources adjacent to existing mine infrastructure, replace mined inventory, grow sustainable production, extend expected mine life and ultimately, contingent on success, provide production growth optionality to the operations. ➢ Exploration drilling at Trevali’s four mines totaled approximately 28,000 metres during Q4; 70,000m total year 2018 ➢Proven exploration team – lower quartile discovery costs providing strong leverage for generating shareholder value. ➢All deposits remain open for expansion, 2019 drilling program:
➢ ~22,000m brown-field near mine drilling to increase Life Of Mines (LOM) ➢ ~20,000m green-field high priority exploration drill targets for possible growth
