1. CARIBOU DOME PROJECT SUMMARY

  • Very high-grade copper project in Alaska, USA

  • Substantially underexplored – only 140 holes drilled to date (12,662m)

  • Mineralisation intersected over the entire 700m of strike drilled to date, including:

  • 51.1m* at 5.3% Cu from 4.4m

  • 18.1m at 9.3% Cu from 22.7m

  • 14.1m at 9.9% Cu from 134.6m

  • 18.4m at 6.3% Cu from 31.4m

  • 15.4m at 7.0% Cu from 145.2m (U/G hole)

  • 10.4m at 7.9% Cu from 14.0m

  • 12.8m at 5.8% Cu from 141.1m

  • 10.1m at 7.1% Cu from 39.0m

  • 9.1m at 7.0% Cu from 28.7m

  • Mineralisation open in both directions along strike and at depth

  • Exceptional exploration upside:

  • >18km of the sedimentary host horizon within the Project area that remains virtually unexplored

  • Extensive copper-in-soil anomalism over the entire 7km of strike sampled to date

  • Only 1.5km of strike covered with IP, with known mineralisation giving rise to a very strong response and multiple undrilled IP anomalies immediately along strike from known mineralisation

  • 8,000m+ drilling program planned to commence in May 2016

  • 3 very-high priority undrilled IP targets immediately along strike from known mineralisation to be drilled first

  • Additional IP and soil sampling data also to be acquired in Q2 2016

  • Exceptional opportunity to continue to rapidly expand the high-grade resource base with further drilling

5. ALL DRILLING

  • Only 140 holes totalling 12,662m drilled to date

  • Only 700m of >18km of strike drill-tested to date

  • Mineralisation open:

  • in both directions along strike; and

  • • at depth

==> picture [293 x 56] intentionally omitted <==

  • Majority of previous drilling focused on Lenses 5 and 6

  • Grade of mineralisation appears to be increasing to the northeast View from above of 3-dimensional model of mineralised lenses Page 8

6. 18KM OF EXPLORATION POTENTIAL

  • >18km of the prospective sedimentary sequence lies within the Project area

  • Multiple copper occurrences along this corridor

  • Soil sampling now covers 7km of strike

  • IP surveying now covers 1.5km of strike

  • Sediment-hosted copper deposits can be very large, for example:

  • Mt Isa Copper Deposit – 255Mt @ 3.3%Cu

  • Potential to discover additional mineralisation over the entire >18km sediment-volcanic contact

7. EXTENSIVE COPPER-IN-SOIL ANOMALISM

  • >600 new soil samples collected in 2015 over 7,000m of strike

  • Has revealed that the Caribou Dome Deposit may be part of a much larger system:

  • Only 700m of a strong, contiguous 2,000m-long soil anomaly drill-tested to date

  • Multiple other soil targets:

  • Rock chips up to 16.5% Cu returned from follow-up at the Guardian Target, that also coincides with a strong IP anomaly

  • Rock chips up to 9.1% in float samples over the Menel Target, that also coincides with a strong IP anomaly

==> picture [462 x 166] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [462 x 165] intentionally omitted <==

  • Intend undertaking further IP surveying over recently identified soil anomalies during Q2 2016 in advance of drilling soil anomalies

Page 10

8. CLOSE CORRELATION BETWEEN IP ANOMALIES AND MINERALISATION

  • Mineralisation at Lenses 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and the new discovery at Lense 7/8 (14.1m @ 9.9% Cu) all coincides with strong IP anomalies

  • Multiple other similar undrilled IP anomalies are evident

  • Grade of the mineralisation in drilling increasing to the northeast

  • Strong soil anomaly also extends >1,300m northeast of the drilled zone

  • 3 very-high priority IP targets immediately NE of current drilling scheduled to be drilled for the first time in Q2 2016:

  • Menel Target

  • Guardian Target

  • Lense 9 Target

  • Only 1.5km of the 18km of prospective strike has been surveyed with IP

  • Additional IP data scheduled to be acquired in Q2 2016 – including immediately along strike to the NE

9. 8,000M+ DRILLING PROGRAM

  • 8,000m+ drilling program scheduled to commence in May 2016

  • Primarily to commence evaluation of, for the first time, new “untested” targets immediately along strike from previous drilling

  • Will also include some “extensional” drilling adjacent to previous drilling, where success would have a very positive impact on project economics

  • Will utilise 2-3 diamond core drill rigs

10. IMMEDIATE “UNTESTED” DRILL TARGETS

  • 3 very-high priority undrilled IP targets immediately along strike to the northeast of the high-grade mineralisation intersected in drilling at Lense 7/8

10. IMMEDIATE “UNTESTED” DRILL TARGETS

  • Considerable similarities between the Lense 7/8 IP anomaly and the as yet undrilled Menel, Guardian and Lense 9 IP Targets:

Lense 7/8 IP Target

  • First hole ever drilled to test this target, in 2015, intersected 14.1m @ 9.9% Cu

==> picture [190 x 194] intentionally omitted <==

Menel IP Target

  • Very strong anomaly over 125m of strike

  • Yet to be drilled

  • Up to 9.1% Cu in float samples

==> picture [155 x 194] intentionally omitted <==

Guardian IP Target

  • Very strong anomaly over 250m of strike

  • Yet to be drilled

  • Up to 16.5% Cu in rock chips

==> picture [175 x 194] intentionally omitted <==

Lense 9 IP Target

  • Strong anomaly over 200m of strike

  • Yet to be drilled - Mineralisation outcrops over 100m

Page 15

11. IMMEDIATE “EXTENSIONAL” DRILL TARGETS

  • Preliminary open pit modelling indicates considerable thick, high-grade mineralisation could be recovered from two adjacent pits

  • Pit designs constrained because of:

  • Lack of drilling between the two pits

  • Absence of drilling along strike to the NE

  • “Infill” drilling will be targeted between the two pits and immediately along strike to the NE of the high-grade mineralisation at Lense 7/8, where strong soil anomalism extends and where 100m of a MALM anomaly remains to be drill tested

  • Strong soil anomaly immediately SW of Lense 2 to be explored further

12. PLANNED FURTHER REGIONAL DATA ACQUISITION

  • Additional IP and soil sampling data will be acquired during 2016 along strike from current coverage

  • Additional drill targets expected to be delineated

  • Intend commencing ground geophysics (IP and trial EM) in May 2016

  • Will extend coverage both immediately NE and SW of 2015 survey

  • Will also resurvey central area with different parameters to resolve deeper drill targets

  • Soil sampling to be progressively undertaken throughout the 2016 field season as on-site personnel have availability COPPER-IN-SOILS DATA ALL IP DATA

13. METALLURGY

  • An independent flotation specialist has been undertaking further metallurgical testwork since Dec 2015

Concentrating on conventional flotation

  • Two phases of testwork completed on a composite sample from the Lense 4, 5 and 6 area that graded 5.03% Cu:

  • Recoveries >95% Cu have been achieved during rougher flotation tests

  • Concentrates grading up to 24.5% Cu have been produced

  • Third phase of testwork to be undertaken on samples from the Lense 7/8 area to determine whether the metallurgical properties here are similar

  • Results indicating that conventional flotation may be a viable low-CAPEX development alternative

  • Additional samples will be acquired during 2016 to continue to optimise recoveries and concentrate grades
