Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements included in this presentation are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Canadian securities laws, including statements regarding the Blackbird Creek Project: Statements pertaining to the ability of International Cobalt Corp (“CO”); the potential to develop resources and then further develop reserves; the anticipated economic potential of the property; the availability of capital and finance for CO to execute its strategy going forward. Forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions made by CO in light of its experience and perception of current and expected future developments, as well as other factors that CO believes are appropriate in the circumstances. Many factors could cause CO’s results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward looking statements, including: discrepancies between actual and estimated results from exploration and development and operating risks, dependence on early exploration stage concessions; uninsurable risks; competition; regulatory restrictions, including environmental regulatory restrictions and liability; currency fluctuations; defective title to mineral claims or property and dependence on key employees. Persons reviewing this presentation are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements due to inherent uncertainty therein. CO disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result

  • f new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

LIMITED US PRODUCTION WILL TURN INTO AN ECNOMIC DRAG AND A POTENTIAL SECURITY RISK

Huge price increases since 2017 September 2018 price: $US 64,499 /t All time high: $US 110,000 / t in 2008

“With this growth will come further disruption to the traditional market structures that have developed in cobalt over the last 30 years. In short, a new, more secure supply chain for the modern era will need to be created, a task that includes new mines, new refineries, and a more transparent supply chain.” Andrew Miller, Benchmark Minerals

IMPORTANCE OF COBALT

Cobalt is a Strategic Mineral for the Defense Industrial Base

The largest use traditional use of cobalt is in superalloys, which are used to make jet engine parts and other military hardware (approximately 45% of consumption)

Cobalt is Essential to Growing Segments of the economy

75% of lithium-ion batteries projected to contain cobalt by 2020 (Source: CRU Group)

Electric Vehicles Need Cobalt for Battery Packs

By 2020, 48% of cobalt demand will come from EVs and electronics (Source: CRU Group)

U.S. COBALT CONSUMERS FACE SECUIRTY-OF-SUPPLY RISKS ON MULTIPLE FRONTS

Limited U.S. Production

There is not a single active cobalt mine in the U.S., limited supply comes from other mineral byproducts

U.S. Consumers Must Rely on Imports

As of 2017, the U.S. was 72% net import- reliant

U.S. COBALT CONSUMERS FACE SECUIRTY-OF-SUPPLY RISKS ON MULTIPLE FRONTS

Import-Reliance Presents Significant Risk

The worlds leading primary producer of cobalt is the Democratic People’s Republic of the Congo China was the world’s leading producer of refined cobalt and a leading supplier of cobalt imports to the United States

U.S. Response

In response to these trends, Cobalt was designated as a Critical Mineral in a 2018 Executive Order

with more than one-half of world production in 2016. This production was mainly a byproduct of copper operations. Cobalt also is recovered as a byproduct of nickel mining in Russia and other countries. Like the United States, China lacks sufficient domestic supplies for its industries and, thus, has aggressively sought to secure its supplies through overseas

  • acquisitions. Cobalt demand is expected to

grow significantly because of its use in rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles and

  • ther technologies. Other uses of cobalt are in

superalloys for jet engines and cemented carbides for cutting tools and wear-resistant applications

International Cobalt’s ROFR on 4 additional Cobalt Assets:

four distinct and separate mining projects comprising up to 822 Claims (up to 6,871 hectares) in the Idaho Cobalt Belt, collectively known as the “Champion Projects.”

Historic Analysis (Anderson, 1943)

“The cobalt bloom on the lower exposure is visible from points more than half a mile away and makes the ledge stand out very conspicuously from others in its vicinity A 20 feet of a talus slope carried “Slightly less than 2% cobalt”. Other richer zones form bodies of ore a few feet thick that probably contain as much as 6% cobalt. Otherwise, the lode may carry from 1% - 2 % cobalt.” Ludwig Historic Exploration Adit

Noranda Exploration Results, 1979

Only 8 known drill holes by Noranda. More drilling recommended, but not documented. Surface sampling of the exploration adit revealed: ▪ 7.0 metres of 0.71% cobalt DDH-70-2A drill hole returned ▪ 7.9 metres of 0.4% cobalt

Noranda conclusions:

“Exploration models suggest the presence of a large tonnage stratabound deposit of unknown grade within the Blackbird Breccia Stratigraphy.”
