Forward-looking Statement
Some of the statements contained in this presentation may be deemed "forward-looking statements." These include estimates and statements that describe the Company's future plans, objectives or goals, and expectations of a stated condition or occurrence.
Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as "believes", "anticipates", "expects", "estimates", "may", "could", "would", "will", or "plan". Since forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties.
Actual results relating to, among other things, results of exploration, reclamation, capital costs, and the Company's financial condition and prospects, could differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements for many reasons such as but not limited to; changes in general economic conditions and conditions in the financial markets; changes in demand and prices for the minerals the Company expects to produce; litigation, legislative, environmental and other judicial, regulatory, political and
competitive developments; technological and operational difficulties encountered in connection with the Company's activities;
and changing foreign exchange rates and other matters discussed in this presentation.
Persons should not place undue reliance on the Company's forward-looking statements. Further information regarding these and other factors, which may cause results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements, are included in the filings by the Company with securities regulatory authorities. The Company does not assume any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement that may be made from time to time by the Company or on its behalf, except in accordance with applicable securities laws, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
The TSX Venture Exchange has not reviewed and does not accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of the contents of this presentation, that has been prepared by management.

Silver Queen Advantage
- Superior access and logistics in mature a Mining Region
- Low exploration costs and expanded exploration season
- Current high-grade(high-margin)NI43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate
- Significant existing historical underground development resulting in:
- UG access for in-fill drilling, bulk sampling and other work which is required for future feasibility studies and mining
- Reduced costs for such feasibility work and downstream mining scenarios
- Majors & Mid-tiers miners nearby, potential JV or acquisition
7
Silver Queen Objectives
- Near Term Objective: Systematic Resource expansion to underpin the value of the Silver Queen property and to identify new targets and discoveries for continued resource growth in the mid to long term.
- Near to Mid-Term objective: Double the current mineral resource estimate by offset drilling of high-grade "ore-shoots"in the No. 3, Camp and NG-3veins.
- British Columbia Project Comparables:
- Silver Tip Mine, BC. (Coeur Mining): purchased in 2017 for US$200M
- Barkerville Mines, BC. (Osisko Gold Royalties) purchased in 2019 for C$350M

Two Exploration Opportunities
High-gradeAu-Ag-Zn Epithermal Vein system (Primary Target): 3.0 - 5.0Mt @ +10g/t AuEq = +1.5Mozs AuEq ozs(1)
Cu-Mo-Ag Porphyry Deposit (Secondary Target): 400 - 500Mt @ 0.2-0.3%Cu, 0.03-0.05%Mo (with Au and Ag)(2)
- The exploration target consists of 3.0-5.0Mt grading 2-4g/t Au, 150-200g/t Ag, 0.2-0.4% Cu, 0.8-1.0% Pb and 5-7% Zn, is based on data from >500 drillholes drilled on the property, is conceptual in nature and relies on projections of mineralization that are beyond the standard CIM classification of mineral resources and should not be relied on as a mineral resource estimate. It is uncertain whether additional exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.
- The exploration target consists of 400-500Mt grading 0.2-0.3% Cu, 0.03-0.05% Mo, 1-3g/t Ag and 0.05-0.15g/t Au, is conceptual in nature and relies on projections of mineralization that are beyond the standard CIM classification of mineral resources and should not be relied on as a mineral resource estimate. The target is based on wide intercepts (>100m) of Cu-Mo mineralization intersected in 2011-2017 drilling. It is uncertain whether additional exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.

- The Mineral Resource Estimate was prepared by Eugene Puritch, P.Eng., FEC, CET and Yungang Wu, P.Geo., of P&E Mining Consultants Inc. ("P&E") of Brampton, Ontario, Independent Qualified Persons ("QP"), as defined by
National Instrument 43-101. - Mineral Resources which are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio- political, marketing, or other relevant issues, although the Company is not aware of any such issues.
- The Inferred Mineral Resource in this estimate has a lower level of confidence that that applied to an Indicated Mineral Resource and must not be converted to a Mineral Reserve. It is reasonably expected that the majority of the Inferred Mineral Resource could be upgraded to an Indicated Mineral Resource with continued exploration.
- The Mineral Resources were estimated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by CIM Council.
- Grade capping on Ag and Zn was performed on 0.75m to 1.24m length composites. Au, Cu and Pb required no capping. Inverse distance cubed (1/d3) was utilized for grade interpolation for Au and Ag while inverse distance squared (1/d2) was utilized for Cu, Pb and Zn. Grade blocks were interpreted within constraining mineralized domains and a 3m long x 1m wide x 3m high block model.
- A bulk density of 3.56 t/m³ was used for all tonnage calculations.
- Approximate US$ two year trailing average metal prices as follows were used: Au $1,300/oz, Ag $17/oz, Cu $3/lb, Pb $1.05/lb and Zn $1.35/lb with an exchange rate of US$0.77=C$1.00. The C$100/tonne NSR cut-off grade value for the underground Mineral Resource was derived from mining costs of C$70/t, with process costs of C$20/t and G&A of C$10/t. Process recoveries used were Au 79%, Ag 80%, Cu 81%, Pb 75% and Zn 94%.
- AuEq and AgEq are based on the formula: NSR (CDN) = (Cu% * $57.58) + (Pb% * $19.16) + (Zn% * $30.88) +(Au g/t * $39.40) + (Ag g/t * $0.44) - $78.76.

Table - Detailed assay summaries from highlight intercepts within the Camp and NG-3 Veins. Drillholes with prefix 87-, 88- and NG- are historic in nature and have not been verified by the company. Intercepts for the No. 3 vein are quoted as estimated true thickness, whereas intercepts for the Camp Vein and NG-3 vein are quoted as downhole intercepts.

Silver Queen Project
Secondary Target - Itsit Cu-Mo-Ag-Au Porphyry
Target Concept: Cu-Mo-Ag-Au Porphyry
Similar to the Berg Porphyry located 50km to the south-west
- Cu-Mo+-Ag-AuStockwork identified in 7 drill holes
- Drilling tested to over 800m depth; many holes ending in mineralization
- Current Target: +1000m strike at a 0.3% CuEq cut-off; only 300m has been tested
- Higher-grade,precious metal enrichment epithermal veins intersect the Cu-Mo stockwork

Resource Objectives
- Porphyry Target: 400 - 500Mt @ 0.3% Cu, 0.04%Mo with Au and Ag credits(1)
- Sub-target: 25-50Mt @ 0.4g/t Au, 80g/t Ag, 0.3% Cu and % 0.05% Mo
- The exploration target consists of 400-500Mt grading 0.2-0.3% Cu, 0.03-0.05% Mo, 1-3g/t Ag and 0.05-0.15g/t Au, is conceptual in nature and relies on projections of mineralization that are beyond the standard CIM classification of mineral resources and should not be relied on as a mineral resource estimate. The target is based on wide intercepts (>100m) of Cu-Mo mineralization intersected in 2011-2017 drilling. It is uncertain whether additional exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.
