Certain information set forth in this presentation may contain forward-looking statements that involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements consist of statements that are not purely historical, including statements regarding beliefs, plans, expectations or timing of future plans, and include, but not limited to actual results of current and future exploration activities at the Company's properties, and the potential success of the Company’s future exploration and development strategies. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the control of Eastmain, including, but not limited to the results of the impact of general economic conditions, industry conditions, dependence upon regulatory approvals, the availability of financing, timely completion of proposed studies and technical reports, and risks associated with the exploration, development and mining industry generally such as economic factors as they affect exploration, future commodity prices, changes in interest rates, safety and security, political, social or economic developments, environmental risks, insurance risks, capital expenditures, operating or technical difficulties in connection with development activities, personnel relations, the speculative nature of gold exploration and development, including the risks of diminishing quantities of grades of Mineral Resources, contests over property title, and changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined. Readers are cautioned that the assumptions used in the preparation of such information, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise and, as such, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no obligation to update such information, except as may be required by law.

✓ 71% of 2018 Mineral Resource Estimate tonnes converted to Potentially Extractable ✓ 63% of Potentially Extractable are 2018 Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources

Potentially Extractable Portion of Mineral Resource (P&E Mining Consultants Inc. 2018)(1-4)

1. Mineral resources, which are not Mineral Reserves, do not have demonstrated economic viability. Environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing, or other relevant issues may materially affect the estimate of Mineral Resources. 2. The Inferred Mineral Resource in this estimate has a lower level of confidence that that applied to an Indicated Mineral Resource and must not be converted to a Mineral Reserve. It is reasonably expected that the majority of the Inferred Mineral Resource could be upgraded to an Indicated Mineral Resource with continued exploration 3. The potentially extractable portion of the Mineral Resource Estimate was prepared by Eugene Puritch, P. Eng., FEC, CET and Andrew Bradfield P.Eng. of P&E Mining Consultants Inc. Mineral Resource Estimate reported in this press release was estimated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions. 4. The potentially extractable portion of the Open pit Mineral Resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.66 g/t gold and the potentially extractable portion of the Open pit Mineral Resources underground Mineral Resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 2.7 g/t gold. Cut-off grades are based on a gold price of US$1,250 per ounce, a foreign exchange rate of US$0.80, and a gold recovery of 95%. Table entries are rounded
