5 A New Palladium Company Palladium - has surpassed Gold as the most precious metal Nickel One is one of the few exploration companies with an advanced exploration stage Palladium project New Team - brings exploration and capital markets experience to unlock value for shareholders NICKEL ONE RESOURCES INC. NNN-TSX-V 5

6 Palladium Demand is Growing... Strategic Positioning for Palladium Unique physical properties make it indispensable in various applications, primarily automobile catalytic converters (auto-catalysts) Automakers, who have little flexibility to produce cars without palladium, are being forced to push the price higher to secure their critical supply. Sprott Asset Management LP January 2019 Palladium Supply is Constrained 79% of palladium supply comes from Russia & South Africa Pd is a by-product of mining other metals There is minimal scope for producers to increase near-term production Pd Supply Will Continue to be in Deficit Source: Johnson Matthey Citigroup NICKEL ONE RESOURCES INC. NNN-TSX-V 6

7 Strategic Positioning PALLADIUM Industry Outlook Supply concerns - South Africa & Russia (~79% of supply) Increased demand due to recent diesel powered car emissions scandals Improving environmental standards likely to support long term demand for PGE commodities Lack of Automotive Industry investment in gas powered vehicles INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES Lack of Palladium dominant investment alternatives Very few advanced Palladium projects FINLAND Superior politically safe jurisdiction (Fraser Institute) Low operating costs compared to North America 3rd largest supplier of platinum & palladium Excellent transportation infrastructure Strong mining culture (e.g. Glencore, Agnico, Anglo, First Quantum) Proximity to major smelters in Finland and Sweden NICKEL ONE RESOURCES INC.

12 LK Project, Exploration Potential Blue Sky Limited Drilling Haukiaho Zone, only ~3 km drilled of ~10 km strike potential Widely spaced historic drilling with only 2-3 holes per section. Approx. 100 m spaced sections. Kaukua Zone, only ~1 km drilled of ~ 8 km strike potential. 3 nearby targets not included in historical resource estimate Targets underlain by ultramafic intrusive blocks and historical drilling by GTK gave significant results which warrant follow-up Geophysics and historical drilling indicate significant underexplored areas remain Further exploration could have a significant positive impact on the volume, and potentially the overall grade NICKEL ONE RESOURCES INC. NNN-TSX-V 12

13 LK Project Next Steps Detailed project review, target generation and prospecting/mapping New NI Drilling program: Aim to delineate thicker, shallow high-grade zones intercepted in Torkoaho (Central) and West Torkoaho (West) zones Central zone target near surface 21Mt over a strike length of 700m West zone target strike length of 400m Prospect drilling of Lipeävaara & Murtolampi zones - identified by geophysics & historical drilling Focus will be to define and delineate shallow, high-grade mineralization in these locations Explore the Melarame (East) Zone to define higher grade intercepts. Conduct detailed structural interpretation of the controls of mineralization NICKEL ONE RESOURCES INC. NNN-TSX-V 13
