OUTLOOK ▪ The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in reduced global output and significant economic uncertainty ▪ In the short-term, there is potential for increased variability of earnings and volatility of the trading price of shares ▪ Despite this increased uncertainty and decrease in global output, LIORC remains an attractive long- term investment ▪ IOC continues to operate safely within COVID-19 provincial government guidelines ▪ Benchmark prices for concentrate have remained attractive despite the global economic slowdown and the decrease in demand for steel in Europe and North America ▪ Provided IOC continues to operate, LIORC’s Royalty structure allows it to continue to receive cashflows regardless of the economic environment ▪ IOC has operated for over 50 years without a shut down due to market conditions ▪ Rio Tinto is a world class operator ▪ IOC controls all its own infrastructure ▪ The lower Canadian dollar improves IOC’s operating margins ▪ LIORC has a strong balance sheet with no debt and cash and working capital of over $30 million ▪ With IOC’s long mine life and LIORC’s recent renewal of its mining leases for another 30 years, shareholders can expect cash flows to continue well into the future 7
