difficulties related to technical activities of mining and reclamation, the speculative nature of exploration and development of mineral deposits located, including risks in obtaining necessary licences and permits, reducing the quantity or grade of reserves, adverse changes in credit ratings, and the challenge of title. The Company does not undertake an obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements or information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless so required by applicable securities laws.

Melchett Lake - Introduction
▪ The Melchett Lake belt contains several occurrences of polymetallic Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag-Au VMS style mineralization similar in character to ore deposits exploited at Mattabi, Winston Lake, Geco, Brunswick, Rouyn-Noranda and Uchi Lake. ▪ The Melchett Lake Property is located in the Thunder Bay Mining District of northwestern Ontario, Canada, north of Geraldton and Nakina. ▪ The 3,996 hectare project is located within an historically active exploration and mining region including Copper Lake’s Marshall Lake VMS project, Premier Gold’s Hardrock-Greenstone Au project and past-producing Anaconda-Dofasco iron mine and the Skibi Lake and Stewart Lake iron prospects.

Melchett Lake - Geological Overview
▪ Archean-age Melchett Lake greenstone belt, English River SP ▪ Basalt and mafic to intermediate volcaniclastics overlain by intermediate to felsic tuffaceous metavolcanics and associated clastic and chemical metasediments ▪ Near-vertical dip, steep ENE lineation, tightly folded sequence
- f schists and gneisses
▪ Volcanogenic massive sulphide and gold mineralization ▪ Locally high grade lenses of Zn & Ag ▪ Variable Cu, Au, & Pb ▪ Zinc grades to 19.1% ▪ Silver grades to 560 g/t ▪ Gold grades to 28.8 g/t

Melchett Lake - The Potential
▪ The Ontario Geological Survey Exploration Highlights in 2016- 2017 reported “The potential of discovery of economic zinc-lead- silver-gold-bearing VMS deposits in the Melchett Lake greenstone belt is high.” ▪ The multi-kilometre strike length of the known areas of mineralization, depth potential indicated by the downhole Maxwell modelling, broad intervals of mineralization, intense alteration profile similar to well-known polymetallic deposits, and presence
- f high grade values of both precious metals and base metals
provide Silver Spruce Resources Inc. with an opportunity to grow with the strong gold, silver and zinc markets.
