Caution Regarding Forward Looking Statements:

Certain information included in this presentation, including information relating to future financial or operating performance and other statements that express the expectations of management or estimates of future performance constitute “forward-looking statements”. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding copper and gold forecasts for fiscal 2018 (including the information provided in any tables relating to production and concentrate forecasts for fiscal 2018), the financial strength of the Company, estimates regarding timing of future development and production and statements concerning possible expansion opportunities for the Company. Where the Company expresses or implies an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief are based on assumptions made in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. Such assumptions include, without limitation, the price of and anticipated costs of recovery of, copper concentrate and gold, the presence

  • f and continuity of such minerals at modeled grades and values, the capacities of various machinery and equipment, the availability
  • f personnel, machinery and equipment at estimated prices, mineral recovery rates, and others.

However, forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed, projected or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks include, but are not limited to, interpretation and implications of drilling and geophysical results; estimates regarding timing of future capital expenditures and costs towards profitable commercial operations. Other factors that could cause actual results, developments or events to differ materially from those anticipated include, among others, increases/decreases in production; volatility in metals prices and demand; currency fluctuations; cash operating margins; cash operating cost per pound sold; costs per ton of ore; variances in ore grade or recovery rates from those assumed in mining plans; reserves and/or resources; the ability to successfully integrate acquired assets;

  • perational risks inherent in mining or development activities and legislative factors relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land use, title

and permits, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed

  • n forward-looking statements and the forward-looking statements contained in this press release are expressly qualified in their

entirety by this cautionary statement. The forward-looking statements contained herein are made as at the date hereof and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or revise any such forward-looking statements or any forward-looking statements contained in any other documents whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required under applicable law. Tim Sanford, P.Eng., is the Qualified Person responsible for the technical content, verification and quality assurance of the exploration data and the analytical results set forth in this presentation. Mr. Sanford is an employee of Rambler Metals and Mining Canada Limited.

  • Further expansion (Phase III) offers scale

with enhanced valuation

  • Targeted production – 2,000 mtpd,

60% increase

  • Engineering Studies required:
  • A. Underground material handling,

including potential rehab of historical shaft

  • B. Mill location
  • C. Following completed of items

A and B commence Definitive Feasibility Study

  • Studies to commence following sustained

production at 1,250 mtpd

  • Planning detailed study to

look at the cost analysis of upgrading Nugget Pond mill to 2,000 mtpd vs building new mill at the Ming Mine

  • Current mill is 44 Km

from mine

  • Significant cost savings from

reduction in trucking costs

  • Current mill could be used

for Little Deer Deposit (140 Km from Nugget Pond mill); Indicated Resources of 2.7M tonnes at 2.2% copper and Inferred Resources of 4.2M tonnes at 2.1% copper*

Re-Activate Shaft

  • Decommissioned shaft at mine that could be

re-activated. Additional Lower Grade LFZ M&I Resources

  • Significant tonnages of lower grade LFZ measured

and indicated resources exist outside of the planned reserves that could be extracted Mineralized Zones Open in Multiple Directions

  • Will continue with 2018 exploration
  • 2017 exploration program extended both zones

down plunge Nugget Pond Gold Plant

  • 500 mtpd gold hydro met plant that is not being

utilized.

  • With added grinding capacity both plants can run

simultaneously

  • Suitable for nearby toll milling
