Slide 5: Nickel Demand A Leader Among Metals
Nickel Demand A Leader Among Metals Nickel demand a leader among metals over the last decade (5%) driven by continued strong growth in stainless steel (5.4%) with little contribution from electric vehicles to date. Base Metals & Other Metals Demand CAGR% (2007 - 2017) 5.4% 5.2% 5.0% 4.2% 3.8% 2.4% 2

Slide 7: Nickel Demand EVs Going to Multiply Demand Requirements
Nickel Demand EVs Going to Multiply Demand Requirements By 2025, EV + 4% trend demand growth (slower than 5% trend) requires nearly 1 Mtpa of new supply. By 2030, 2.5 million tonnes (or double today) is required. 2.5 Mt would require (at best) – $50-$75 billion of new investment this decade. Increme
Slide 8: Tesla: "Please mine more nickel…"
Tesla: “Please mine more nickel…” “…please mine more nickel... Tesla will give you a giant contract for a long period of time if you mine nickel efficiently and in an environmentally sensitive way.” – Elon Musk, Co-Founder and CEO, Tesla Earnings Call July 22, 2020 Estimated Carbon Footprint (tonnes
Slide 9: Nickel Supply – Significant Political Risk
Nickel Supply – Significant Political Risk Is there an ONEC in our future ?? Nickel supply facing increasing political risk as Indonesia now dominates nickel supply growth. Just 3 countries are expected to control as much of the nickel supply as OPEC did of global oil supply at its peak in 1973 Nick
Slide 10: Crawford Nickel-Cobalt Sulphide Project
Crawford Nickel-Cobalt Sulphide Project One of largest nickel-cobalt sulphide resources located in a well established mining camp with infrastructure. • World-class jurisdiction in Ontario, Canada • Established Timmins mining camp with 100-year history of mining • Access to all major infrastructure
Slide 11: Part of Relatively Underexplored Property
Part of Relatively Underexplored Property Why Crawford undiscovered until now? • A few drill holes by Inco in 1960s in each large anomaly • Minimal exploration in 1970/1980s • Land owned by forestry company for several decades until acquired by Noble in 2011 • Little outcrop on land package 11
Slide 12: Crawford Mineral Resource
Crawford Mineral Resource Crawford’s resource ranks as one of the 10 largest nickel sulphide resources globally • Higher grade core of M&I Resource of 280 Mt at 0.31% Ni, 0.013% Co, and 0.04 g/t Pd + Pt within an overall M&I resource of 653 Mt at 0.26% Ni and 0.013% Co • Higher grade inferred resour
