Market tightness with significant structural deficits

==> picture [333 x 243] intentionally omitted <==

■ Development of new nickel production

capacity requires the right price environment

■ Incentive pricing

Nickel pig iron US$ 6 – 8/lbSulphide deposit US$ 9 – 11/lbHPAL (Laterite) US$ 13 – 22lb

■ Continued pressure on nickel price

■ Market in deficit 2016 and 2017

  • Market tightness is evident with substantial stock draws from peak levels

■ Existing structural supply deficit … before the contribution of battery demand becomes material

  • (n.b: sources –UBS, ING, Wood Mackenzie)

==> picture [536 x 230] intentionally omitted <==

16

Nickel demand still driven by stainless steel…but

==> picture [363 x 268] intentionally omitted <==

  • Nickel sulphate is most suited to battery sector and principal source of these is nickel sulphide deposits

  • Nickel market fundamentals look positive…

  • Supports near term favorable price outlook

■ Current total primary nickel market demand 2.2Mt/yr

■ Nickel in stainless steel ~70-75% of demand

  • 2017 +7% growth in nickel for stainless steel…similar growth forecast

  • EV battery sector growth provides a potential significant new demand stream ( conservatively 400-500kt Ni required by 2025)

==> picture [309 x 430] intentionally omitted <==

  • Skye East contact position was a conceptual target - hinge fold extension of Skye trend

  • Initial shallow drilling in August 2018 identified massive sulphide mineralization:

  • SNRC045 4m @ 1.28% Ni from 16m down hole[7]

  • SNRC048 7m @ 3.54% Ni from 51m down hole; including

2m @ 7.47% Ni from 55m down hole[7]

■ 2 holes completed for 492m at Skye East[10]

  • Ultra mafic contact position confirmed in both holes

  • No significant Ni results from analysis of samples

==> picture [326 x 246] intentionally omitted <==

■ DHEM survey of SNRC0056 showed strong EM conductor associated with sedimentary unit, and two smaller off-hole EM conductors interpreted to be associated sulphide body hosted within target lithologies[10]

■ Next Steps:

Potential RC drilling to test: down plunge mineralisation interpretation; Two small off-hole EM conductors

18

Potential for discovery of nickel sulphide mineralisation close to existing infrastructure

■ Multiple ultramafic trends over strike length approximately 80kms and within 30km of existing infrastructure on granted mining tenure

  • Mineralisation identified by Talisman at Delphi North[8] (3km South of Sinclair)

  • Continued generation and testing of potentially high value new targets in a cost-

efficient manner into 2019
