FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

All statements in this document regarding Nevada Sunrise Gold Corp.’s lithium exploration projects,

  • ther than statements of historical fact, are "forward‐looking information" with respect to Nevada

Sunrise Gold Corp. ("Nevada Sunrise, or “NEV") within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws, including statements that address future mineral production, reserve potential, exploration drilling, the current or future price of lithium, potential quantity and/or grade of minerals, potential size

  • f a mineralized zone, potential expansion of mineralization, the timing and results of future resource

estimates, or other study, proposed exploration and development of our exploration properties and the estimation of mineral resources. Forward‐looking information is often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as "seek", "anticipate", "plan", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "project", "predict", "potential", "targeting", "intends", "believe", "potential", and similar expressions, or describes a "goal",

  • r variation of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "should",

"could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievement of Nevada Sunrise to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward‐looking information.

John R. Kerr, P.Eng., is the designated qualified person for Nevada Sunrise within the meaning of NI 43‐101 and has reviewed and approved the technical information contained in this document for the Nevada Sunrise lithium projects.

Nevada Lithium

Nevada Sunrise – The Right Place, Right Time

  • 6 lithium projects located in a

superior jurisdiction

  • North America’s only producing

lithium mine is nearby

  • NEV has an experienced technical

team well‐versed in lithium exploration and development

  • Drill permits received for 2016‐17
  • Water rights acquired in Clayton

Valley – a fundamental for future development

Drill at Neptune Project, March 2016

Water Rights Acquisition – Clayton Valley

  • Clayton Valley is “over‐

allocated” for water use in the most highly‐ regulated US state

  • Main consumer of water

in Clayton Valley is Albemarle’s Silver Peak lithium mine

  • In Jan. 2016 NEV acquired

an option on 1,770 acre/ft./yr. of water rights for future development

Lithium Market

  • Meteoric rise in

lithium (LCE) prices in late 2015‐ early 2016

  • Lithium prices are

volatile and subject to sudden spikes on tight supply

  • Demand for

lithium projected to increase 20% by 2017 (Citi Research, 2015)

Lithium, the Old Fashioned Way

  • Evaporative pond

process dates back centuries – 12 to 18 months production time

  • Silver Peak’s

brine ponds

  • ccupy a large

footprint – over 6 square miles

  • Salt ponds pose a

health risk to migratory birds

The Solution: New Extraction Technology

  • Lithium produced

within hours instead

  • f months.
  • Low use of

energy and water resources.

  • Pilot testing is

underway by Tenova‐ Bateman and Posco.

NEV Exploration Philosophy

  • Identify prospective

geology

  • Confirm presence of

lithium by surface sampling

  • Acquire geophysical

data

  • Integrate data for

drill targeting

slide-15
SLIDE 15

Nevada Lithium

  • Over 40 years of experience in the field of geology, and is

currently director of the Ellison Miles Center for Geological Field Studies at the University of Texas, Dallas

  • His work includes geologic mapping, geophysics and structural

analysis, to better understand regional tectonics

  • Dr. Oldow has served by invitation on numerous committees

for the National Science Foundation, and is a Fellow of the Geological Society of America (1992)

  • John’s recent fieldwork in western Nevada on regional tectonics

prompted the acquisition of the Gemini and Aquarius projects, staked by Nevada Sunrise over deep sub‐basins

Lithium: A Metal With Benefits

The makers of 7‐Up added lithium citrate to their formula from 1929 to 1950, with slogans like:

  • “More than a

mixer”

  • “Dispels hangovers”
  • “Takes the ouch out
  • f grouch!”

Nevada Lithium

Nevada Sunrise has acquired rights to 6 lithium exploration properties in the most prospective area of Nevada for lithium brines exploration. The Company optioned the Neptune Project in May 2016 to Resolve Ventures (TSXV: RSV), closed a transaction in August 2016 with Advantage Lithium (TSXV: AAL) for an option on 5 of the projects, and has optioned the 6th project to American Lithium (TSXV: LI), in order to reduce exploration risk and excessive dilution of NEV’s share capital.
