Forward Looking Statements

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This presentation includes certain forward-looking information or forward-looking statements for the purposes of applicable securities

  • laws. These statements address future events and conditions and, as such, involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other

factors, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations include, among others, the timeliness of regulatory approvals, the timing and success of future exploration and development activities, exploration and development risks, market prices, exploitation and exploration results, availability of capital and financing, general economic, market or business conditions, uninsured risks, regulatory changes, defects in title, availability of personnel, materials and equipment, unanticipated environmental impacts on operations and other exploration risks detailed herein and from time to time in the filings made by the Company with securities regulators. In making the forward-looking statements, the Company has applied several material assumptions including, but not limited to, the assumptions that the proposed exploration and development of the mineral projects will proceed as planned, market fundamentals will result in sustained metals and mineral prices, and any additional financing needed will be available on reasonable terms. The Company expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise except as otherwise required by applicable securities legislation. The technical report entitled "Preliminary Economic Assessment of Copper, Gold, and Silver Recovery" (the "July 2014 PEA") is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves and there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized. Refer to the July 2014 PEA, filed on SEDAR under the Company's profile on July 14, 2014, for a discussion of the applicable qualifications and assumptions and the impact on the results of the previous studies on the Carmacks Project. National Instrument 43-101

  • Dr. Harlan Meade, PGeol., President and CEO of the Company, is the Qualified Person who has reviewed and approved the content

herein, for compliance with National Instrument 43-101.

  • Kilborn Engineering ( 1995) completes feasibility to leach the oxide copper ores with

traditional dump leach, followed by Solvent Extraction Electrowining (SXEW).

  • M3 Engineering and Technology (2007): similarly completes a feasibility premised on

heap leaching of copper and SXEW production of cathode copper.

  • M3 Engineering and Technology (2012): completes a revised feasibility study based on

heap leaching of copper and SXEW production of cathode copper.

  • Copper North Strategic Review  Three Key Objectives:
  • Include Recovery of Gold and Silver: Preliminary Economic Assessment filed on SEDAR July

14, 2014, indicates significant improvement in project economics and significant reduction of cost of copper production (after by-product credits).

  • CAPEX Reduction: Benchmarking against similar projects indicates opportunities for substantial

savings with use of Chinese engineering and procurement. Evaluation of vat leaching of copper to increase copper recovery, reduce capital and improve operating efficiency. More recent test work suggests agitated tank leach may be more efficient and reduce costs.

  • Mineral Resource Expansion: Exploration in progress to expand oxide mineral resources for

extension of current 8-year mine life. Diamond drilling to define extension of zone 2 oxide deposit identified in ongoing trenching program.

CARMACKS PROJECT – Addition of Gold-Silver Recovery

Project Opportunities

Gold and Silver Opportunity: (see July 14, 2104 PEA on SEDAR*)

  • Measured & Indicated mineral resource containing171,400 ounces of gold and 1,705,000
  • unces of silver.
  • 133,700 ounces payable gold and 1,279,000 ounces payable silver assuming recovery of

78% for gold and 75% for silver.

PEA Net Revenue Increase: (see July 14, 2104 PEA on SEDAR)

  • Gold and silver recovery indicates a 28% increase in LOM project Net Revenue.
  • 42% increase in LOM Net Operating Revenue: improves NPV& IRR.
  • Reduction of C1 Cash Cost of Production to US$1.07/lb Cu compared to previous

US$1.60/lb Cu in M3 Feasibility Study Nov 2012 (after byproduct credits).

  • Gold-Silver Metal Streaming Opportunity:
  • Gold and silver byproduct production provides opportunity for royalty and/or metal streaming

transactions to fund project development, without hedging or pre-sale of copper production. * The July 2014 PEA is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves and there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized.

Re-engineeering

PHASE II - Re-engineering and Cost Reduction

» Evaluate vat leaching alternative for copper and gold & silver, to minimize extensive earthworks and pad liner expense associated with heap leach pad operations. » Sourcing of detailed engineering and procurement of key equipment components from Chinese engineering groups and fabricators; benchmarking suggests capital savings of up to 40% for some parts of the treatment plants (requires more investigation to

confirm potential to reduced equipment cost for Chinese equipment).

» Manpower reduction by simplifying leach operations and efficiency improvements in the development and operating plan. » Contracting of non-core activities and lease-purchase opportunities. » Increased Company management involvement in construction activities.

Agitated Tank Leach

PHASE II- Evolution to Agitated Tank Leach

» Copper Leach Metallurgical Progression: – The initial heap leaching of crushed ores (80% minus 13mm) replaced by on/off pad heap leach in order to bring gold and silver revenues forward. – Vat leach times for copper were found to be shorter (<than 12 days) than expected. – Re-run of test work with finer crush (80% minus 2 to 4mm) indicated much improved leach rates of less than 24 hrs, resulting in change to Agitated Tank Leach for copper. – Additional test work now defining leach time (fine crush) to confirm use of agitated leach tank for gold and silver leaching. Agitated Leach Tank Advantage: – Much shorter leach times; brings copper, gold and silver revenues forward. – Fine crush residue for copper leach can be pumped directly to gold and silver agitated leach tank, mitigating materials transport issues, after neutralization of acidity. – Agitated tank leach provides better control of operations to maximize recoveries, and reduce operating costs. – Smaller footprint and reduction in earthworks and pad liners for copper leach. – Closed copper leach operation of copper, and gold & silver, reduces potential leakage and simplifies environmental monitoring.

Appendix 1

APPENDIX 1: Resource Expansion Opportunities Expansion of Oxide Mineral Resources:

» M3 Feasibility Study only considered processing the 10.98 million tonnes of Measured and Indicated oxide mineralization contained in Zones 1, 4, and 7. Current permit allows for processing of up to 16.3 million tonnes of oxide ore. » Oxide ore also identified in Zones 2, 5, 12, 13, 14 and 2000S. » Review of exploration data has identified Zone 2 and the Gap target (extension of 2000S zone) as prime targets for resource expansion.

Leaching of Sulfide Mineral Resources :

» Sulfide potential at site is significant and the majority of the sulfide potential in new zones is at depths accessible by open pit. » Test program is warranted to confirm potential dump leaching of the 4.3M tonnes of Measured & Indicated sulphide mineral resources and 4M tonnes of in Inferred sulphide mineral resources (see page 12), utilizing the SXEW copper leach facility. » Treatment of sulfide ore will require a dedicated long term leach pad.

THOR PROJECT – Unique Discovery Opportunity

Thor Project: A Unique Opportunity For Discovery Adjacent The Shutdown Kemess Mine.

▲ Large property (13,000 hectares) located 20 km south of Kemess mine and mill and straddling main access road and power lines. ▲ Not previously explored due to extensive overburden cover and misunderstanding of geologic framework. ▲ Airborne magnetics indicate a large intrusive complex in an area thought previously to be underlain by younger sedimentary rocks. ▲ 2012 induced polarization survey shows extensive chargeability anomalies in the western portion

  • f the property, coincident with areas of lower magnetic susceptibility. The area of low magnetics

is interpreted as magnetite destruction due to intense alteration within the intrusive rocks; as is commonly associated with porphyry copper deposits. ▲ Known porphyry Cu-Au style mineralization on the eastern part of the property with only a few drill holes (1998 drill program) on one of the intrusive bodies. ▲ Intrusive complexes considered to be of early Jurassic age, similar to those hosting Kemess South and Kemess North porphyry copper-gold deposits.

Note: Prior exploration on the Thor property has not defined a mineral resource, and exploration is at an early stage within an attractive geological district. Despite the Thor property’s proximity to the Kemess property, no mineral resource has been identified at Thor and there is no certainty that exploration will define economic mineralization.

Kemess North (under development) ▲ Kug deposit being evaluated as a block cave operation feeding the Kemess South mill and waste storage facilities. ▲ Mineral reserve of 100.3M tonnes grading 0.28% Cu, 0.56 g/t Au and 2.05 g/t Ag. ▲ Proposed mine and mill processing of approximately 24,000 tpd.

The reference to production history at Kemess mine simply defines characteristics of a successful mine and development property in the Kemess mineral district. Despite the Thor property’s proximity to the Kemess property, no mineral resource has been identified at Thor and there is no certainty that exploration will define economic mineralization.

THOR ACQUISITION: Geology

Thor Geology

Thor Property is southern extension of copper-gold porphyry belt. Early Jurassic Black Lake intrusions hosted by Mid-Triassic Takla volcanic suite. Major post mineral faulting exposes intrusive complex and porphyry systems. Thor Property interpreted to host different levels of porphyry systems, due to major structural break.

Thor Exploration Plan

Geophysical Surveys

» Shallow Induced Polarization (IP) surveys were completed in 2007 and more deep penetrating regional IP was conducted on wide line spacing in 2012. » The historical large scale geophysical data indicates the presence of intrusions cutting the Takla volcanic rocks and attractive induced polarization anomalies.

Commencement of Consultation with First Nations Phase I Program:

» Completed 39km Induced Polarization and ground magnetics surveys.

Phase II Program :

» Compilation of all historical geology, geochemical and geophysical data into an integrated map for target identification and exploration planning for a drilling program in summer 2015.

Copper Markets

  • Forecast 3.7% global growth in copper consumption over 2013 to 2018, provides opportunity for new mine
  • production. Analysts are forecasting a need for 5M tonnes of new mine production by 2020.

Carmacks Re-engineering & Permitting Timeline (see July 14, 2014 PEA on SEDAR*).

  • Addition of gold and silver increases Net Revenues approximately 28% and also provides an opportunity to
  • ptimize the leach plan and increase efficiency to reduce overall operating cost .
  • Re-engineering and optimization of the mine and processing plan targeted for completion in Q4 2015.

Carmacks Cash Cost of Production (see July 14, 2014 PEA on SEDAR*).

  • With gold and silver credits, Carmacks achieves a very attractive C1 cash cost in the lower quartile of the cost

curve - approximately US$1.07/lb copper.

  • Production costs well below the mean C1 cash cost of US$1.68/lb copper for the proposed new major mines.

Carmacks Capital Efficiency

  • Copper equivalent production (adjusting for gold and silver recovery) is approximately 40M lbs annually. The re-

engineering work in progress should reduce the current capex and further improve project economics.

Infrastructure and Geopolitical Risk

  • Carmacks Copper is centrally located in Yukon near major highways and electrical power grid. Mineral title and

taxation are secure and cooperation agreements with First Nations reduces permitting risk.

Financing Position

  • The production of gold and silver dore, and copper as cathode, opens up more financing alternatives compared to

copper concentrates. Metal streaming agreements provide an alternative to dilutive equity financings, particularly during current difficult equity markets.

* The July 2014 PEA is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves and there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized.
