OUR APPROACH GOING FORWARD

WHAT WE KNOW WHAT WE DON’T KNOW• Major low sulphidation epithermal

system with general N-S strike

• Significant mineralization intersected in a number of holes and is associated with major chargeability anomaly

• Recent drilling intersected major new anomalous alteration zone associated with a strong chargeability anomaly

• The alteration zone is marked by a 4 km long chargeability anomaly suggesting the potential for a major epithermal gold-silver system

• Need to drill test core of Central Anomaly as well as test targets in the West and ET Zones

• What are the controls on potential higher grade mineralization within the extensive alteration zone?

• Area between Big Easy and ET essentially unexplored as well as potential major extension of system to south

If you want to find a big deposit,get into a big system –Big Easy is a BIG SYSTEM.

19

Page 20: CORPORATEPRESENTATION - Cartier Iron...FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain information contained herein regarding Cartier Iron Corporation, including management’s assessment of future

OUR PLAN IN 2019

• Step out from showing areas to understand full system especially vertically

• Carry out winter drilling to test cores of chargeability anomalies

• Mineralization/alteration responds very well to IP/Res

• Phase I drilling confirmed an extensive anomalous epithermal gold-silver mineralization

• Carry out further surface and down-hole IP/Res surveys to refine drill targets

MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATELac Penguin Project (Dec. 2013)

* The quantity and grade of the reported Mineral Resources within the Project are categorized as Inferred Mineral Resources. Inferred Mineral Resources are that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and grade or quality can be estimated on the basis of geological evidence and limited sampling and reasonably assumed, but not verified, geological and grade continuity. The estimate is based on limited information and sampling gathered through appropriate techniques from drill core. There is no guarantee that further exploration will upgrade the Inferred Mineral Resources to Indicated or Measured Mineral Resources. Mineral Resources which are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of Inferred Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio‐political, marketing, or other relevant issues.

• High-quality, low-deleterious element concentrate, grading >65% iron reported from Lac Penguin deposit. Maximum level of 4.5% SiO2 for the concentrate is a value-level imposed by Cartier Iron, guided by today’s selective market requirement for the highest quality concentrate

• Test results carried out by SGS Laboratories (Quebec) to date indicate that iron resources at Lac Penguin deposit most efficiently liberated by a 2-stage process following initial grinding to produce a final sinterproduct

• Metallurgical tests were targeted toward producing a concentrate of 66% Fe and ≤4.5% SiO2 from an average sample grade of 30% Fe. Stage 1 gravimetric separation tests by Wilfley Table on 18 samples returned average grades of 64.2 to 66.6% Fe, 4.5% SiO2 and 1.1% MgO

• Many of the world’s largest sources of iron concentrate are problematic from a quality perspective, being relatively high in silica, phosphorous, alumina and other elementsthat are deleterious to blast furnace performance and steel quality

Low deleterious element content from LacPenguin concentrates are considered ofpremium quality by the industry
