XTM – TSXV | Q1 2021 1 DUNTARA COPPER PROJECT KEY POINTS Patchwork history of DissemiNated low-grade exploration Cu-sulfide mineralization Favourable geological hosted within reduced Limited historical environment for sediments geophysical work sedimentary hosted copper High-grade vein and Limited historical diamond AlterNatiNg redUced aNd fracture coNtrolled drilling oxidized sedimentary chalcocite mineralization horizons EvideNce of evaporites in overlying stratigraphy INVEST IN TOMORROW, TODAY.INVEST IN TOMORROW, TODAY. XTM – TSXV | Q2 2018 XTM – TSXV | Q1 2021 2 WHY COPPER IN NEWFOUNDLAND? One of the Best MiNiNg JurisdictioNs in CaNada • Large high-grade resources of copper in stable mining jurisdictioNs like NewfoUNdlaNd will be in high demaNd to fill gap • Access to tide-water for easy shippiNg • FuNdameNtal demand for copper expected to increase as EV market grows • Lack of investment in exploration for new copper deposits expected to exacerbate supply gap • Supply of new world class (> 1 MT contained toNNes of copper) deposits at grades higher thaN 0.3% copper extremely limited • SedimeNtary hosted copper deposits are typically higher-grade than porphyry deposits INVEST IN TOMORROW, TODAY.INVEST IN TOMORROW, TODAY.

XTM – TSXV | Q1 2021 5 DUNTARA LOCAL GEOLOGY • The Red Cliff facies hosts the Cu miNeralizatioN on the property withiN the Blue PoiNt horizoN. • The majority of the Red Cliff facies is made Up of oxidized fine to medium grained, dark purple-red saNdstoNe that is mediUm bedded aNd coNtaiNs thinly laminated, bright-red siltstoNe beds and sand dykes. • The BlUe PoiNt horizoN occurs as two reduced units between 10-40 m thick of finely laminated, light aNd dark-grey to green siltstone to coarse saNdstoNe INVEST IN TOMORROW, TODAY. XTM – TSXV | Q1 2021 6 DUNTARA COPPER MINERALIZATION • The highest coNceNtratioNs of copper mineralization (3.9% Cu) are associated with siliceous veins and veinlets that cross-cut aNd are bedding parallel, associated with weak silica, epidote, chlorite, sericite, and albite alteration such as at the Copper Vein showiNg (above) • The copper sUlfides also appeared to have predominantly precipitated where pre-existing iron sulfides were abundant, such as diagenetic framboidal and cubic pyrite as seen at the Tickle Cove showiNg (left) INVEST IN TOMORROW, TODAY.INVEST IN TOMORROW, TODAY.
