Right t Time for Ni-Cu-Co

9 Corporate Presentation - April 2018

Ø Electric vehicle (EV) boom driving demand for key battery metals: cobalt, nickel, copper. Ø A laptop contains ~0.063 pounds of Co; an EV contains ~30 pounds of Co. Ø Global EV annual sales ~2 million units in 2016, ~20 million in 2020f, ~70 million in 2025f. Ø Cobalt global demand forecast to rise ~4,500% from now to 2030.

slide-10
SLIDE 10

Ø Half the world’s Co in DRC, a dangerous, unstable jurisdiction:

  • recently eliminated 10 year tax holiday for Co mines
  • recently increased government royalty from 2% to 10%
  • recently implemented 50% excess profits tax
  • recently announced plan for 60% increase in Co export tax

Ø Ni-Cu mines in Canada produce Co as by-product. Canada

hosts major Ni-Cu mining camps, i.e. Sudbury, Ontario.

Ø Ontario’s Montcalm Gabbro Complex is highly prospective and

underexplored.

Ø Manitoba’s Lynn Lake mines (Sherritt) an excellent analogue

for the Montcalm Gabbro Complex.

Ø Covers substantial portion of Montcalm Gabbro Complex, highly

prospective for Ni-Cu-Co deposits.

Ø Contains numerous near-surface untested geophysical anomalies

(developed by previous operators).

Ø Potential for deeper zones which may now be detected with modern

technology.

Ø Former Montcalm Mine comprised of 3 separate lenses (deposits), with a

total 3.9mt tonnes of ore mined, grading 1.25% Ni, 0.67% Cu, 0.051% Co (~4mlbs of Co), prior to premature closure due to a ground fall (Ontario Geological Survey, Atkinson, 2011).

Ø Pancontinental’s Montcalm property contiguous with Glencore’s former

Montcalm mine property, boundary ~1km west of the mined deposits.

Ø From exploration and mining results it is now known

that the deepest nickel lenses at former Montcalm mine start at 250m below surface.

Ø Only recently have modern airborne geophysical

systems been able to penetrate deeper than 250m.

Ø Pancontinental’s Montcalm property has never been

flown with new state-of-the-art electromagnetic (EM) systems or gravity systems.

Ø Lynn Lake “A” Gabbro Intrusive in Manitoba covers approximately

4.5sq km and hosted 15 separate Ni-Cu deposits with a combined historical tonnage of 28,410,570 tonnes at 0.906% Ni and 0.489% Cu (pre-NI43-101). Substantial cobalt recovered from these deposits but lack of accurate records (Manitoba Department of Mines, Pinsent 1980).

Ø Montcalm West Project is hosted within a gabbro complex covering

~80sq km. The gabbro phase of complex hosts the former Montcalm Mine, which covers ~15sq km.

Ø Lynn Lake “A” Gabbro Intrusive and the Montcalm West Project are

distinctly similar geologically, and potential exists for the discovery of multiple deposits at the Montcalm West Project similar to that found at the Montcalm Mine itself and at Lynn Lake.

Ø Numerous occurrences of low-grade Co values over a wide area. Ø Limited surface sampling by Teck geologist returned high-grade sample

containing 3,230ppm or ~6.5lbs per tonne Co.

Ø Numerous untested airborne EM anomalies identified by a government

survey remain untested.

Ø Limited historic drilling and surface exploration defined significant sulphide

mineralization, not assayed for Co at the time.

Ø Given distinct association of cobalt and sulphide, and proximity of holes to

known surface cobalt mineralization, a re-evaluation of these zones is warranted.

Pancontinental’s Nova Property in Ontario has numerous highly anomalous historical cobalt samples associated with sulphide mineralization in surface outcrops, including an historical

  • ccurrence which ~returned 6.5 pounds of cobalt per tonne (3,230 ppm Co) in a single

surface rock sample taken by a Teck Corporation geologist in 1991.

Ø 100%-owned Jefferson Gold Project in underexplored historic Carolina

Gold Belt in the southeastern U.S., 12km from OceanaGold’s Haile mine.

Ø Ridgeway-Haile-Brewer-Jefferson-Morven gold trend characterized by

intrusive-related gold from deep seated magmatic event ~550 million years ago.

Ø Lithological and structural settings for high sulfidation, epithermal and

porphyry gold deposits.

Ø Completed preliminary drill program in mid-2017 (at only 1 of 6 targets)

with positive results in grade and thickness.

Ø Pathway conduits of mineralization discovered at Jefferson mimic the

same initial exploration successes at Haile.

Ø Due to limited outcrop exposure on the Montcalm Property, we

intend to fly a state-of-the-art VTEM (electromagnetic survey) and airborne gravity survey to detect potential targets at depth.

Ø Documentation from the Montcalm Mine shows that the deeper

lenses in the mine start at 250 meters below surface.

Ø Modern VTEM technology and newly developed airborne gravity

systems have the capability to search below 200 meters.

Ø Our work will be conducted in conjunction with an evaluation of

higher priority near-surface geophysical targets that were left untested by previous operators.

Ø Upon completion of this work the higher priority targets will be

selected for drill testing.

Ø Conduct preliminary prospecting efforts over key

portions of the property to fully evaluate known cobalt mineralization.

Ø This work will be conducted along with a mobile metal

ion geochemical survey, to assist in evaluation of areas without exposure but proximal to known cobalt

  • ccurrences.

Ø This initial program has been designed to evaluate the

Nova Property for a potential near-surface, bulk- tonnage deposit.
