Exploration

EXPLORATION RESULTS Expanding resource potential at Lac des Iles and new discoveries at Sunday Lake Lac des Iles • Three new underground zones delineated • Enhanced potential to expand resources • New exploration drift in progress • Surface drilling ongoing, new results coming

Regional Program • Geophysical screening program continues

Friday, May 3, 2019

Q1 2019 Investor Call Exploration

Sunday Lake • #1 opportunity in our blue sky portfolio • Potential for a large deposit has improved

14

LAC DES ILES UNDERGROUND EXPLORATION New Zones Added, Drilling Program Expanded

Q1 2019 Investor Call Exploration

C Zone Target: Expansion • Initial results suggest the C Zone in the Offset Block splits into two divergent trends: 1) a persistent north-south trend that parallels the Offset Zone Deposit and 2) a south-west trend that has significant strike length potential and is open in most directions. Assays pending.

Friday, May 3, 2019

LAC DES ILES UNDERGROUND EXPLORATION Offset Satellites

•

Three discrete satellite zones of palladium mineralization referred to as the B1 to B3 zones, were identified within a few tens of metres of previous or planned mining areas in the Offset block.

•

The upper parts of the B2 and B3 zones are already in the mining plan. Whereas their lower extensions as well as the other B zones required additional drilling.

•

The Mystery Zone is an isolated area of Pd mineralization located on the eastern side of mining area in Offset Block.

•

Recent drilling and geological modelling suggest that the Mystery Zone is likely a much larger area of mineralization than previously believed and could connect to the surface of the Twilight Zone in the southeast extension of the Roby pit.

B series and the Mystery Zone

16

LAC DES ILES SURFACE EXPLORATION Near Surface Resource Potential

New Geophysical Targets • Final targets emerging from 2018/19 geophysical programs

Expanded Drill Program • Plan to drill over 30 km this year based on recent success • Distinct mineralized trends found at Creek Zone, below and south of historical Baker Zone and along the North Rim of the complex

SUNDAY LAKE PGM Zone expanded, best ever drill results reported 2019 Drilling Program •

Completed 7,300 metres in 6 holes in ~3 months and expanded the PGM zone to cover nearly the full strike length and width of the intrusion

Highlights •

Big Red Target returned best results to date on the property with first two holes in the western target area:



•

SL-19-029: 275m step out from hole 26 intersected 32.0 metres with 3.35 g/t 3E, including 8.17 metres of 5.44 g/t 3E and 0.51% Cu.

Encouraging results from the central part of intrusion 

SL-19-025: 14.80 metres with 2.33 g/t 3E and 0.29% Cu including 2.30 metres with 4.11 g/t 3E and 0.48% Cu and 1.60 metres with 5.18 g/t 3E and 0.70% Cu.



SL-19-030: 20.61 metres with 1.87 g/t 3E, including a higher-grade sub-interval of 5.50 metres with 3.67 g/t 3E and 0.83% Cu.

Friday, May 3, 2019

Big Red

Q1 2019 Investor Call Exploration

 SL-19-026: 41.2 metres with 3.22 g/t Pt, 2.08 g/t Pd and 0.21 g/t Au (5.51 g/t 3E) with 0.57% Cu and 0.19% Ni. Includes 15.8 metre of 9.11 g/t 3E with 0.88% Cu and a 8.30 metre subinterval of 13 g/t 3E, 1.23% Cu.

18

SUNDAY LAKE Future plans

Many targets remain to be tested • New drilling results warrant additional testing of geophysical anomalies • Additional geophysics also warranted • Extension drilling recommended around recent, higher-grade intersections

Q1 2019 Investor Call Exploration

• After completing this work, a decision will be taken on whether or not to proceed to an initial resource delineation program
