7 Project Locations: Durango State Monarca s projects are located in an area of Mexico renowned for major Ag, Au and base metal deposits. The area has a long mining history dating back to early colonial times. The area has significant infrastructure and transportation systems with local mining expertise. November 29, 2017 TSX.V-MMN 7

11 Tejamen: Recent work We are currently re-analyzing geological information and the re-logging historical drill results. Drilling completed in 2005 and 2008 only reached relatively shallow depths of approximately 150 meters. To date Monarca has identified 3 extremely high grade intercepts at both Los Mantos and Cerro Prieto portions of Tejamen. Drill hole MMT-141, Los Mantos, reported an 80-meter zone containing 417 grams of silver including 4,028 grams per silver from 82 to 88 meters from surface. This is one of three high grade veins identified in Los Mantos. Cerro Prieto is a thick zone of parallel veins and disseminated silver mineralization at approximately 80 meters. Cerro Prieto drilling reached a maximum depth of 150 meters. It is worthwhile to note that the core was not assayed for any other metals. November 29, 2017 TSX.V-MMN 11

13 Support from the Mexican Government Carlos Espinosa, Director, has been developing and implementing a plan to secure the surface rights at Tejamen, Monarca s flagship property. Over the last 12 months Carlos has met with senior officials at the Federal, State and Municipal level. Jose Rosas Aispuro, Governor of the State of Durango is pro-mining, and he appointed two highly experienced mining engineers to his cabinet; Ramon Davila, Minister of Economic Development and Jose Luis Aguilar, Deputy Minister of Mining; both of them worked most of their career on Canadian and Mexican mining companies,. Mayor of Nuevo Ideal (Tejamen belongs to the municipality of Nuevo Ideal) have been fully supportive on this new approach to Tejamen community. Current state governor will be at the office until 2022 enabling Monarca to concentrate on community relationships and development of Tejamen, San Lucas and El Sol November 29, 2017 TSX.V-MMN 13

14 Community Relations at Tejamen Monarca has built the foundation with the Mexican government and are developing a close relationship with the community Carlos have been meeting with the leaders of the local community of Tejamen. In those meetings Carlos listened to the Community s concerns, introduced the new Monarca management team, reviewed the benefits to the Community and outlined Monarca s plans once the surface rights have been secured. Monarca is dedicated to being a responsible Community partner Carlos will continue traveling to Mexico to keep building the relationship and trust with Tejamen community November 29, 2017 TSX.V-MMN 14

15 San Lucas Overview Two parallel vein structures have been identified in the 3km long mineralized Main Shear zone. 79 historical RC holes have been drilled, ranging from about 32m to 259m and averaging 158 m in depth. Drilling results include up to 2m at 527ppm Ag, with Zn and Pb over 1% (MMSL-46; 154m-156m depth). And up to 22.9m at 0.78ppm Au and 12.7ppm Ag (SL ft depth). Exploration upside in the El Doctor vein area (Noche Buena) in outcrop channel sampling (up to 1.4m at 110ppm Au and 168ppm Ag). November 29, 2017 TSX.V-MMN 15

16 San Lucas Overview Luismin obtained some very high grade underground sampling results, with up to 256ppm Au and 391ppm Ag, over 0.55m. Potential exists for the principal veins below previous drilling depths, where the base of the volcanic host rocks encounter schist, phyllite and limestone. The sub-volcanic rocks remain untested on the Main Shear areas, where there is significant potential for large manto deposits. A compliant Technical Report (Richards) states that a centre of mineralization exists in the northern portion of the Main Shear and that this is an expression of manto style mineralization at depth, in underlying carbonate rocks. An exploration program for 2018 is proposed with estimated cost is US$850,000. Consolidate San Lucas land package TSX.V-MMN November 29,

17 San Lucas Drillhole Map Drilling results include up to 2m at 527ppm Ag, with Zn and Pb over 1% Seventy-nine RC holes have been drilled at San Lucas Generally to depths of less that 200m Manto potential below 200m in untested vein areas Luismin obtained some very high grade underground sampling results, with up to 256ppm Au and 391ppm Ag, over 0.55m. November 29, 2017 TSX.V-MMN 17

18 El Sol Overview Surface sampling at El Sol (old mine dumps) of up to 358ppm Ag, 1.945ppm Au, 19.6% Zn and 22.6% Pb. One hole has been drilled (Southern Silver Exploration [SSV], 13CLM-072) and returned 0.3m ( m depth) at 87ppm Ag, 1.88% Pb, 1.01% Zn and 0.11% Cu. A strong chargeability anomaly runs along the eastern side of the El Sol concession, possibly indicating the presence of sulfide mineralization and northward extension of SSV s Blind/El Sol Zone. A strong aeromagnetic anomaly is located at the northwestern portion of the El Sol concession, possibly indicating the presence of a mineralizing intrusive. An exploration program for 2018 is proposed, consisting of 4-6 holes (total 1500m) to cost US$300,000. Possible Joint Venture opportunity November 29, 2017 TSX.V-MMN 18
