JULY 2018 1 INTRODUCTION The following Hazardous Materials Management Plan has been assembled to define a protocol for safe handling, storage, and monitoring of hazardous materials during the undertaking of the Keno Hill Silver District Mining Operations. The primary goals of this plan are to ensure the safety of employees and the protection of the environment. A summary of the Hazardous Materials Management Plan is presented below in Table 1-1. Table 1-1 Hazardous Materials Management Plan Summary Hazardous • All hazardous materials will be stored safely and appropriately as per material safety data sheets (MSDS) Materials Storage • All hazardous materials will be segregated and stored to ensure integrity of product containers, avoidance of accidental mixing, and safety from weather effects • Hazardous materials will be stored in locations with secondary containment measures in place in order to limit potential for spills • A complete listing of MSDS sheets for all hazardous materials and spill response strategy protocol will be made available to all employees and will be located at the following locations: o Administration Office o Bellekeno, Lucky Queen, Onek, Flame and Moth and Bermingham Shifters Office o Maintenance Shop o First Aid Room(s) o General, Site and Department Managers Workspace o Kitchen Medical Station o Mine Rescue Sheds – Bellekeno, Lucky Queen, Onek, Flame and Moth and Bermingham o Safety Manager/Coordinators Office o Keno District Mill – Reagent Storage Facility Employee Training • All employees involved with handling hazardous materials will receive training in safe and appropriate use as per Workplace Hazardous Materials Information Systems Regulations (WHMIS) of the Occupational Health and Safety Act. • All employees will follow OH&S and regulations and use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and handling procedures when using hazardous materials Spills and • All spills will be dealt with as per measures described in the Emergency Response Plan Emergencies • Should a spill of reportable quantity occur, the 24 hour Yukon Spill Report line (867-667-7244) will be immediately notified Signage and • All areas which will be used to store hazardous materials will be clearly indicated with appropriate signage Monitoring • Monitoring of areas which will be used to store hazardous materials will be monitored on a regular basis in order to ensure measures set out in this plan are complied with HAZARDOUS MATERIALS MANAGEMENT PLAN JULY 2018.DOCX8 1 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS MANAGEMENT PLAN KENO HILL SILVER DISTRICT MINING OPERATIONS Alexco Keno Hill Mining Corp. JULY 2018 As with any industrial undertaking, a number of hazardous materials are used for various purposes and various locations during the project. Primarily, these materials include fuels and lubricants used for the operation of surface and underground equipment, chemicals for water treatment, explosives for underground mining, and reagents used for the mill flotation processes. 2 STORAGE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS All the reagents will be prepared in a separate reagent preparation and storage facility in a containment area inside the Keno District Mill building. The reagent storage tanks are equipped with level indicators and instrumentation to ensure that spills do not occur during normal operation. Appropriate ventilation and fire and safety protection are provided at the facility. All solid reagents such as copper sulphate, zinc sulphate, sodium sulphite, and SIPX are dissolved, mixed, and diluted prior to being transferred into separate holding tanks from where the reagents are distributed to various addition points. Lime is mixed and stored in a dedicated solution storage tank located inside the mill building. Lime is mixed in the Elsa care and maintenance lime mixing building and transported from the Elsa mixing facility and delivered into the lime solution storage tank. Liquid collectors and frother are stored in separate holding tanks prior to being pumped in undiluted form to various addition points. Anti-scale chemicals may be required to minimize scale build-up in the reclaim or recycle water lines. This reagent will be delivered in liquid form and metered directly into the reclaim water tank. Please see Material Safety Data Sheets, presented as Appendix A, for detailed toxicological as well as human health and safety considerations for all mill reagents. Emergency response planning and medical considerations are presented in Section 4.0, Human Health & Safety. The majority of mill reagents are received in bulk, such as palletized bags, chemtainers, drums, or bulk bags. The covered and curbed reagent storage and preparation area is located adjacent to the flotation area. A forklift with a drum handler attachment is used for reagent handling, while the electric hoist servicing the mill and reagent areas is used to lift the reagents to the respective reagent mixing area located above the mixed reagent storage area. The reagent system includes unloading and storage facilities, mixing tanks, transfer pumps, and feeding equipment. Table 2-1 below shows the reagents specified for use in the Keno District Mill. All fuel, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, coolants and similar substances well be stored and/or transferred a minimum of 30 metres from the Natural Boundary of any Watercourse to avoid substances being deposited in or allowed to be deposited in waters.

General overview, exceptions within each group are possible. However increasing the molecular weight of chemicals will generally increase the service temperature. 2. This information is just a global grouping. Service temperature within one family can vary between different chemicals. 3. All temperatures are given for aqueous solutions. In case of concentrated mixtures service temperatures are generally lower. 4. Discoloration/ staining is not classified as chemical attack if hardness is unchanged. 5. Higher temperatures will reduce the chemical resistance shown in the performance table. 6. Some chemicals may concentrate due to evaporation and become more aggressive. 7. Mixtures of chemicals can be more aggressive than might be expected from the individual components alone.

No warranty can be expressed or implied regarding the accuracy of this information, as it will apply to actual operational use. Plant operations vary widely, and the individual results obtained are affected by the specific conditions encountered, which are beyond our control.

    Chemical Resistance List How to use: Press Ctrl + F and type the entire or part of the chemical name you want to search for Press Enter to see more alternatives Or scroll down the alphabetical list June 2014 Notes to Chemical Resistance List Keys: R: Resistant The coating is chemically resisttant enough to be used as tank lining for permanent exposure. NR: Not Resistant The coating is not resistant and is not recommended to be used ass tank lining for this chemical NE: Not Evaluated The coating is not evaluated or practically tested as tank lining for this chemical. Contact Jotun A/S, TSS for more details. Resistance is based on temperatures not exceeding 40°C. Products that are visscous or solid at normal temperatures can be stored up to 70°C. Exceptions are when there is a maximum temperature given in the Resistance List. Note 1 Coating discoloration The coating may be discoloured from this cargo. This discolouration will not affect the chemical resistance of the coating. Note 2 Beverage and potable liquids Although the coatings are resisttant to these cargoes, taste or odour from the coating may transmit to the beverages and potable liquids. Note 3 Unleaded gasoline Many unleaded gasolines may have added considerable amounts off oxygenated solvents, and can vary quite a loot in composition.
