Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-looking Information

This presentation contains certain information that may constitute forward-looking information under applicable Canadian and U.S. securities legislation, including but not limited to information about current expectations on the timing, extent and success of exploration, development and metallurgical sampling activities, the timing and success of mining operations, the optimization of mine plans, milling activity at the PL Mill, the timing and completion of updated mineral resource and reserve estimates in respect of the PL and Nokomis deposits, the Company's intention and ability to monetize mineralized material, project development and related permitting, the financial condition of Minnova and the ability of Minnova to finance exploration and development funding requirements and the ability of Minnova to meet forecast production and cost targets. This forward-looking information entails various risks and uncertainties that are based on current expectations, and actual results may differ materially from those contained in such information. These uncertainties and risks include, but are not limited to, the strength of the global economy; the price of gold; operational, funding and liquidity risks; the degree to which mineral resource estimates are reflective of actual mineral resources; the degree to which factors which would make a mineral deposit commercially viable are present; the risks and hazards associated with underground operations; and the ability of Minnova to fund its substantial capital requirements and operations. Risks and uncertainties about the Company’s business are more fully discussed in the Company’s disclosure materials filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada which are available at www.sedar.com. Readers are urged to read these materials. Minnova assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking information or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from such information unless required by law.

Cautionary Note Concerning Resource Estimate:

Historical resources in this presentation are historical estimates that predate NI 43-101 and are not compliant with current definitions, and have not been verified by the company; consequently, they should not be relied on by investors.

Proven mechanized mining

  • Alimak stope development

Small size (Alimak, ULP/XLP) equipment to achieve:

  • minimal mine openings
  • targeted narrow stope heights
  • safely and efficiently in moving ore
  • ut of the stope

Electric/battery powered to:

  • capitalize on Manitoba’s low industrial

power costs Proven operational performance:

  • emphasis on equipment used in comparable shallow

dipping-narrow vein mine settings Other considerations:

  • maintenance and safety factors
  • perate remotely/autonomously

Small, Mechanized Narrow Vein Development

  • Shallow Dip Mining is Feasible

Resource Conversion and Expansion

  • PL and Nokomis deposits still open down dip/on strike

Test Regional Exploration Potential

  • Initially target mine area exploration targets
  • Numerous structural and geophysical targets remain untested
  • Historic data review /compilation highlights untested potential
  • Belt has not been extensively explored for gold and exploration focus will expand

Development

Feasibility Study Underway - Fall 2017 completion date

  • Upgrade resource to Measured and indicated (0 to -150m)
  • Target Reduced Mining Widths to Achieve Higher Mill Head Grade
  • Current mine plan forecasts a diluted mill head of 7.2 g/t based on conservative 2 m

minimum mining width

  • Feasibility Study in support of re-start with initial underground test mining and bulk

sampling program targeted for fall 2017

  • Targeting use of proven ULP and XLP equipment to potential reduce diluted mining widths

to between 1 and 1.5 m

  • NEW metallurgy test work to optimize gravity circuit and overall process flow sheet –

targeting increased gold recoveries of over 90%

Innovative Thinking to re-start the PL Mine – NOT your average mining company

  • Re-starting a past producing, shallow dipping, narrow vein

mine requires Innovative Thinking

  • Innovative new drilling-blasting-mucking technologies
  • Innovative new reef boring, slot/raise boring techniques
  • Minnova is committed to employing the state of the art equipment and technology to

re-start the PL Mine

  • We are working with global leaders in equipment manufacturing and innovation to unlock

the value of the PL Mine for our stakeholders

  • Attractive capital structure with ~28 million shares outstanding
  • Low relative EV/oz of gold at <US$20/resource ounce
