Forward-Looking Statements

This presentation contains certain statements that may be deemed “forward-looking statements”. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address events or developments that Gaia Metals Corp. expects to occur, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, but not always identified by the words “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “intends”, “estimates”, “projects”, “potential” and similar expressions, or that events or conditions “will”, “would”, “may”, “could” or “should” occur. Although Gaia Metals Corp. believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ materially from those in the forward- looking statements. Factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those in forward looking statements include market prices, exploration and production successes or failures, continued availability of capital and financing, inability to obtain required shareholder or regulatory approvals, and general economic market or business conditions. Forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, estimates and opinions of Gaia Metals Corp. management on the date the statements are made. The technical information in this presentation has been prepared in accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements set out in NI 43-101 and reviewed on behalf of the Company by Mr. Darren L. Smith, M.Sc., P .Geo., of Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd. and Vice President of Exploration for Gaia Metals Corp, a Qualified Person and registered permit holder with the Ordre des Géologues du Québec.

Gold and Silver Breaking Out

• Recent gold price breakout above $1,450
• “Lack of discoveries and declining

production will drive both gold prices higher and drive M&A”

• Strong potential for greenstone (lode)

deposit type on the Company’s properties – high-grade deposit style

• Gold to silver ratio at highest level in almost

30 years (>80) and is poised for reversion to more normalized levels (~60) – leverage to increasing silver price

Increasing Lithium Demand

• Lithium

is an essential component used in clean technology – energy storage (Li-ion batteries), electric vehicles, as well as ceramics, alloys, lubricants, electronics and pharmaceuticals

• Demand

is growing at 10%+ per year, while new technologies continue to support this growth trend well into the future – e.g. Tesla Motors Gigafactory in Nevada and Gigafactory 2 in Europe

• The

lithium market remains anchored in strong fundamentals with demand forecasted to quadruple over the next 10 years (Bloomberg)

• Pegmatite deposits are typically amenable to open-pit

mining and straight-forward mineral processing
