July 2019 TSX.V : CEM Forward Looking Statements

Forward looking statements: This presentation contains certain “forward-looking information within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation and "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (collectively "forward looking statements") concerning Constantine’s plans for its properties, operations and other matters. Forward-looking statements include predictions, projections and forecasts and are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as “seek”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “plan”, “estimate”, "forecast", “expect”, "potential", "project", "target", "schedule", budget" and “intend” and statements that an event or result “may”, “will”, “should”, “could” or “might” occur or be achieved and other similar expressions and includes the negatives thereof. All statements other than statements of historical fact, including, without limitation, statements regarding potential mineralization, the estimation of mineral resources, the realization of mineral resource estimates, interpretation of prior exploration and potential exploration results, the timing and success of exploration activities generally, the timing and results of future resource estimates, permitting time lines, prices and currency exchange rates, availability of capital to Constantine and its joint venture partner, government regulation of exploration operations, environmental risks, reclamation, title, statements with respect to the future price of gold and other metals, and future plans and objectives of Constantine are forward-looking statements that involve various risks and uncertainties. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Forward-looking statements are based on a number of material factors and assumptions. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from Constantine’s expectations include actual exploration results, changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, results of future resource estimates, future metal prices, availability of capital and financing on acceptable terms to Constantine and its joint venture partner, general economic, market or business conditions, uninsured risks, regulatory changes, defects in title, availability of personnel, materials and equipment on a timely basis, accidents or equipment breakdowns, delays in receiving government approvals, unanticipated environmental impacts on operations and costs to remedy same, and other exploration or other risks detailed herein and from time to time in the filings made by the Company with securities regulators. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause such actions, events or results to differ materially from those anticipated. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate and accordingly readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward- looking statements.

Darwin Green P.Geo, Vice President Exploration for Constantine Metal Resources Ltd. and a qualified person as defined by Canadian National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical information contained in this presentation. James N. Gray of Advantage Geoservices Ltd. is the Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 for the resource estimate.

HighGold is not yet incorporated or publicly traded. The properties discussed under the HighGold banner will continue to be held within Constantine Metal Resources until such time as they are spun out into a separate entity. While this spinout is planned, there is no certainty that this will occur, and any dates mentioned are speculation.

See news release dated December 18, 2018. Net Smelter Return (“NSR”) equals (US$16.01 x Zn% + US$48.67 x Cu% + US$23.45 x Au g/t + US$0.32 x Ag g/t). NSR formula is based on estimated metallurgical recoveries, assumed metal prices, and assumed offsite costs that include transportation of concentrate, smelter treatment charges, and refining charges. ZnEq equals = ($66 x Cu% + $25.3 x Zn% + $22 x Pb% + $0.51 x Ag g/t + $40.19 x Au g/t) / 25.3. Assumed metal prices are US$1.15/lb for zinc (Zn), US$3.00/lb for copper (Cu), US$1250/oz for gold (Au), US$16/oz for silver (Ag). Estimated metal recoveries for Palmer Deposit are 93.1% for zinc, 89.6% for copper, 90.9% for silver (70.8% to the Cu concentrate and 20.1% to the Zn concentrate) and 69.6% for gold (49.5% to the Cu concentrate and 20.1% to the Zn concentrate) as determined by 2018 metallurgical locked cycle flotation tests. No recovery data is available for AG Zone deposit. Barite (BaSO4) not included in the Cut-off determination or reported ZnEq and CuEq. 12 Hokuroku – A District Model for Palmer

1313 Low Cost Development and Mining Potential All signs point to a low cost operation

 Metallurgy: Soft ore, excellent recoveries & clean concentrates at moderate grind size  Mining Method: 10 to +20m wide, subvertical ore zones all long hole mining  Lateral Access: No shaft = lower capex; limited development to start mining  Ore Pass: Mine from bottom up, gravity assist (reduced haulage cost)  Mining Rate: 2500 tpd moving to +3500 tpd in year 3  Transportation & Access: Short 60km haul on existing road to deepwater port

 No Remote Project Costs: Town nearby with excess capacity & mining workforce

 State Support: AIDEA (Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority) funds infrastructure for mines (e.g. ports, power, roads)

14 Terrain is an ADVANTAGE for Underground Mine Mine from the bottom up - Access with lateral development

The PEA is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to 17 them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that PEA results will be realized.
