❑ Hope Bay has tremendous exploration potential ❑ Demonstrated by:
- Gold ozs discovered to date is well below expected level as compared to similar Archean belts
- Archean gold deposits typically show strong vertical continuity and extent
- Current Hope Bay resources are at comparatively shallow depths

Low Relative Risk Profile
❑ Geopolitical: Hope Bay has high-grade and often outcropping mineralization, located in a low-risk mining jurisdiction ❑ Corporate Social Responsibility: Strong social license and high alignment with Inuit communities and leadership ❑ Permitting: Permitted for significant development, expansion and production at established deposits across the Hope Bay Belt (ahead of schedule) with excellent support of communities and regulators ❑ Safety: One of the safest mines in Canada in 2018 – Injury Frequency Rate at one-third of Ontario peers ❑ Environmental: Strong environmental record with lower risks than seen at other mines (e.g., tailings dam)

Strong Q1-2019
❑ Record production, AISC and Cash Costs drive earnings and EBITDA
▪ Q1-19 earnings $0.06 per share and Adjusted EBITDA $28.6 million ▪ AISC US$992 per ounce and Cash Costs US$658 per ounce ▪ Production 40,050 ounces and sales 39,200 ounces
❑ Improved Plant performance
▪ Commissioning of Plant retrofit nearing completion ▪ Recoveries continue to improve to 84% in Q1-19, up from 82% in Q4-19
❑ Continued successful exploration, especially high-grade BTD ❑ Balance sheet management increases financial flexibility
▪ Amended credit facility eliminates US$26 million (~C$35 million) of principal repayment in next four quarters and eases covenants
10
Rising Gold Production and Declining Costs
(1) Computation of AISC is in accordance with the World Gold Council guidelines
2019 Guidance Production: 160-180koz Costs: $625-$700/oz cash costs, $900-$1,000/oz AISC

11
Building Value in 2019 and Beyond
❑ Continuing quarter-over-quarter operational improvement
▪ Ramp-up coming to end and optimization of productivity and cost next
❑ Return to strategy of growing value through exploration ❑ Q4-19 target release of updated PFS for disciplined Hope Bay Belt development focused on stakeholder value ❑ Re-establish TMAC as a premium valued equity
▪ High-grade assets with unique growth opportunity ▪ Disciplined management team focused on value opportunity and risk mitigation ▪ Realize benefit of great jurisdiction and social license ▪ Active balance sheet management ▪ Address share trading illiquidity strategically, but only if it is value-added

Exploration Strategy 2019
Exploration Strategy Medium Term
❑ High priority on defining and expanding the Doris North BTD Extension zone to sustain high grade source to supplement Doris Connector and Doris Central production. ❑ High exploration potential at depth below the diabase dyke. Investment in efficient exploration development and diamond drilling to grow Doris Reserves and Resources. ▪ BTD Connector 2020 onward ▪ BTD Central 2020/2021 onward
Doris Madrid North Madrid South Boston Regional
❑ Suluk Deposit – high potential to grow underground reserves below the 300m level. The advanced exploration decline and associated development will provide underground platforms that will allow efficient, year-round diamond drilling below the current Reserves. ❑ Naartok Deposit – has the potential to be developed as both and Open Pit and Underground mine. Continue diamond drilling to grow and define resources to support development scenarios. ❑ High grade Reserve and Resource base currently established at Patch 14 and Wolverine associated with intrusive margins, which is open to depth. ❑ Explore for similar high grade zones along the intrusive margin to grow Resource base. ❑ High exploration potential between Suluk and Patch 14 zones. Strategic Patch 14 access ramp development and additional exploration development will provide efficient, year-round diamond drilling platforms. ❑ Tremendous exploration potential below the current M&I Resources, with historical high grade intersections to ~1000m level. ❑ Priority to establish sustained exploration at Boston to grow Resources and Reserves that can inform belt wide infrastructure decisions. ❑ High exploration potential, with historical near surface high grade drilling intersections, along ~6 km alteration trend extending south from the Boston Deposit. ❑ >90 exploration targets defined on the Hope Bay belt by TMAC and past owners. ❑ Prioritize, advance and test targets, with an emphasize on those proximal to existing and planned infrastructure.
27
Extending Doris Mine Life
❑ Continue definition and expansion of high grade BTD Extension zone ❑ Exploration development south towards BTD Connector to establish drilling platforms to define and expand M&I Resources below the dyke ❑ Exploration development from Doris Central to establish drilling platforms below the dyke and south of Alpha fault

Information Regarding Scientific and Technical Information
Notes 1. CIM definitions were followed for the statement of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. 2. Mineral Resources are estimated at a cut-off grade of 4.0 g/t Au except for Boston which was estimated at a cut-off of 4.5 g/t Au. 3. Mineral Resources are estimated using a long-term gold price of US$1,400 per ounce, and a US$/C$ exchange rate of 0.80. 4. A minimum mining width of approximately 1.5 metres was used for Mineral Resources. 5. A 50-metre crown pillar allowance was applied to resources located below lakes. 6. Doris North has been depleted based on surveyed mining cavities up to the end of December 2018. 7. Mineral Resources are inclusive of those resources converted to Mineral Reserves. 8. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. 9. Mineral Reserves for individual deposits were estimated using a cut-off grades between 4.0 g/t and 4.6 g/t to account for assumed variable process recoveries, operating costs and ore haulage costs.
- 10. All Mineral Reserves are estimated using an average long-term gold price of US$1,250 per ounce and a
US$/C$ exchange rate of 0.80.
- 11. A 50-metre crown pillar allowance was applied to Mineral Reserves located below lakes where applicable.
- 12. A minimum mining width of 2.5 metres for long hole mining and 3.4 metres for drift and fill mining was
applied for Mineral Reserves.
- 13. Density was calculated using the geological block model density field.
- 14. A 95% extraction factor and 20% external dilution factor was applied to long hole mining. A 95% extraction
factor and 15% external dilution factor was applied to drift and fill mining.
- 15. Numbers may not add due to rounding.

Information Regarding Scientific and Technical Information
- Several slides reported drill intervals representing downhole thickness; true width varies depending
- n the dip of the drill hole. True widths are estimated to be approximately 50% to 85% of downhole
- widths. Composite intervals are based on geological observations. Gold values used to calculate
composite intervals are uncut.
- Reported historical drill hole intersections have been obtained from TMAC Resources’ Hope Bay
Drill hole Database which has been independently validated by Roscoe Postle Associates Inc and reported in Section 12 - Data Verification of the “Technical Report on the Hope Bay Project Nunavut, Canada” dated May 28, 2015.
- Please refer to the news releases published June 14, 2018 and November 8, 2018 available on
TMAC’s website at www.tmacresources.com for more details on the results of this work.
