9 Caribou - Project Overview 8 kilometers north of Atlantic Gold s Moose River Consolidated mill site Historic NI resource* from 2008 of 94,762 oz at 8.41 g/t gold Reported past production of over 100,000 gold ounces between 1869 and 1955 Located on the Caribou-Cochrane Hill Anticline, host to several significant current resources 256 hectare claim group, surrounded by Atlantic Gold claim holdings Multiple styles of mineralization evident on the property; vein hosted, stockwork zones, and disseminated within host rocks * The reader is cautioned that a qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify this Historical Estimate as current resources and Osprey is not treating this Historical Estimate as a current mineral resource. While this estimate was prepared in accordance with National Instrument and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves Definition Guidelines in effect at the time, there is no guarantee that it would be consistent with current standards and it should not be regarded as consistent with current standards. The Historical Estimate is relevant to obtain a reference to mineral potential present on the property. The Company has not undertaken any verification of the historical data upon which the historical estimates are based on. TSX.V: OS OTCQB: OSSPF 9

10 Caribou- Mineralization and Targets Past exploration and reports show evidence of mineralization with host slates and argillites 2018 exploration work will focus in areas with evidence of mineralized argillites, and stockwork zones Trenching in the Elk and Dixon zones where past exploration indicates the best disseminated mineralization grades A follow up drill program is planned, pending successful trenching results. Prior drill results in stockwork zones include 11.2 metres at grams per tonne ( g/t ) gold in Hole CM and 9.8 metres at 12.2 g/t gold in Hole SB TSX.V: OS OTCQB: OSSPF 10

11 2018 Current Exploration Current work at Caribou is focused on disseminated mineralization targets at surface (Elk, Caffery, and Dixon zones), and defining drill targets through sampling historic unsampled zones, and trenching TSX.V: OS OTCQB: OSSPF 11

12 Caribou Initial Results Channel sampling from trench 18ELK-01 at the Elk Zone, in the northwest portion of the property, has returned 8.0 m of 1.2 g/t Au within a broader intercept of 24.7 m of 0.7 g/t Au Previously unsampled core returned m of 1.58 g/t Au, or 0.80 g/t Au with a 70 g/t Au grade cap Additional trenching is ongoing, with results reported as they become available TSX.V: OS OTCQB: OSSPF 12

13 Goldenville- Infrastructure & Location Excellent existing infrastructure with provincial highway access, power availability, and close to a nearby town Goldenville is hosted in the Goldenville Group of the Meguma Terrane, the same rock formation as Atlantic Gold Corp s MRC deposits Proximity to other projects: Goldenville is 17 kilometers by highway from Atlantic s Cochrane Hill Project 2017 drilling successfully expanded known mineralization at Goldenville Main Zone, and evidenced disseminated mineralization at Mitchell Lake TSX.V: OS OTCQB: OSSPF 13

Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. No mineral reserves have as yet been defined. Inferred mineral resources are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be considered for estimation of mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the inferred mineral resources will be realized inferred resource includes a near surface and an underground resource with a cut-off of 0.75 g/t and 2.0 g/t respectively. TSX.V: OS OTCQB: OSSPF 14

15 Goldenville Exploration 3,044m program focused on Near surface resource expansion in areas of sparse drilling, and along strike Geophysical argillite targets, targeting zones of intense veining, and potential disseminated mineralization Results from 2017 show significant areas for resource expansion Exploration holes at Mitchell Lake Zone intersected disseminated mineralization TSX.V: OS OTCQB: OSSPF 15

16 Goldenville - Mitchell Lake Drilling Exploration target on a parallel structure 3.5km to west of the current Goldenville Resource with very little historic exploration Osprey drilled 3 holes in the Mitchell Lake Zone in 2017 Results show broad zones of disseminated gold mineralization, as well as high grade veins over 150 meters of strike Open in all directions and at depth, 2018 drilling planned to test strike extent TSX.V: OS OTCQB: OSSPF 16

17 Lower Seal Harbour - Project Overview Approximately 35 kilometers by road from Goldenville Production records indicate gold is found both in the high grade veins and disseminated within host argillites Mineralization outcrops at surface Veins are reported from 1.4m to greater than 10m in width, and were commonly mined as a 50m wide mine structure Adjacent to Anaconda Mining s Goldboro Project; known host to disseminated mineralization Between , Lower Seal Harbour reportedly produced 39,654 ounces from 53,534 tons mined (0.74 oz/t), according to historic production records TSX.V: OS OTCQB: OSSPF 17

21 Appendix A: Notes to the March 2, 2017 NI Resource Footnotes to mineral resource statement: Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. No mineral reserves have as yet been defined. Inferred mineral resources are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be considered for estimation of mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the inferred mineral resources will be realized. Fladgate undertook data verification, and reviewed historical quality assurance and quality control programs on the mineral resources data. Fladgate concluded that the collar, survey, assay, and lithology data were adequate to support mineral resources estimation. A dry bulk density value of 2.67 g/cm3 for all material was assigned from similar Meguma type gold mineralization with similar rock types in Nova Scotia. Fladgate assumed a metallurgical recovery of 90% based on a qualitative assessment of the gold mineralogy and grain size. Near surface mineral resources are constrained within an open pit shell optimized with an L G algorithm. A process and G&A cost of $25 and a mining cost of $3.00/tonne have been used. Underground resources have been constrained within a grade shell using a 2.0 g/t threshold, assuming a mining cost of $50/tonne in addition to the operating costs. Isolated blocks were removed from the grade shell. The mineral resources have been depleted using solids representing underground development and areas of stoping for post 1920 s historical mining for which technical drawings are available, however no records are available for the abundant, pre 1920 s mining development, which is known to have occurred throughout the property. Blocks were classified as inferred in accordance with CIM Definition Standards. The contained metal figures shown are in situ. The resource estimation methodology incorporates a significant amount of external and internal dilution due to the use of 2 meter composites, probabilistic domaining and the grade smoothing introduced by ordinary kriging with a variogram which has a short range of influence. No assurance can be given that the estimated quantities will be produced. All figures have been rounded to reflect accuracy and to comply with securities regulatory requirements. Summations within the tables may not agree due to rounding. TSX.V: OS OTCQB: OSSPF 21
