LAS AGUILAS GEOLOGIC FEATURES
Two parallel nickel sulfide deposits 300 m apart. Hosted within variably differentiated mafic/ultramafic intrusions (orthopyroxinite) into gneiss. Analogous to other Synorogenic-Synvolcanic Nickel-copper deposits found around the world. Assuming 100% metallurgical recovery, COBALT constitutes 22% this deposit’s dollar value (metal prices as of 2/27/2018). 06

- Las Aguilas Resource Summary by Wardrop Engineering
- The only/largest known cobalt resource in Argentina.
- Preliminary bulk metallurgical recovery tests are favorable.
- Wardrop Opinion: “additional exploration expenditures are warranted”.

This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statement, other than statements of historical fact, included herein including, without limitation, statement regarding anticipated completion of engineering studies, potential results of drilling and assays, timing of permitting, construction and production and other milestones, and Marifil's future operating or financial performance are forward-looking statements. Estimates of reserves and resources area also forward-looking statements in that they involve estimates
- f the mineralization that would be encountered, based on interpretation of drilling results and certain
assumptions, if a deposit were developed and mined. Forward-looking statements involve various risks and uncertainties. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from Marifil's expectations include financing in the debt and capital markets; uncertainties involved in the interpretation of drilling results and geological tests and the estimation of reserves and resources; the need for cooperation of government agencies and Native groups in the development of Marifil's properties; the need to obtain permits and governmental approvals; risks of operations such as accidents, equipment breakdowns, bad weather, non-compliance with environmental and permit requirements, unanticipated variation in geological structures, ore grades or recovery rates; unexpected cost increases, fluctuations in metal prices and currency exchange rates, and other risks and uncertainties disclosed in Marifil's Annual Information Form for the current year, filed with the Canadian securities and regulatory authorities, and in other Marifil reports and documents filed with applicable securities and regulatory authorities from time to time.
