2 Cautionary Statement This presentation contains certain statements that may be deemed "forward-looking statements". All statements in this presentation, other than statements of historical fact, that address future production, reserve potential, exploration drilling, exploitation activities and events or developments that the Company expects to occur, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, but not always, identified by the words "expects", "plans" "anticipates", "believes", "intends", "estimates", "projects", "potential" and similar expressions, or that events or conditions "will", "would", "may", "could" or "should" occur. Information inferred from the interpretation of drilling results and information concerning mineral resource estimates may also be deemed to be forward-looking statements, as it constitutes a prediction of what might be found to be present when and if a project is actually developed. Although the Company believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include market prices, exploitation and exploration successes, and continued availability of capital and financing, and general economic, market or business conditions. Investors are cautioned that any such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, estimates and opinions of the Company's management on the date the statements are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements in the event that management's beliefs, estimates or opinions, or other factors, should change. Preliminary Economic Assessment (April 2014) 100% equity basis; US$; zinc = $1 /lb, copper = $3 /lb, iron = $105 /t, indium = $600 /kg, silver = $21 /oz, gold = $1,300 /oz. The PEA is considered preliminary in nature. It includes Inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative to have the economic considerations applied that would enable classification as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the conclusions within the PEA will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Preliminary Economic Assessment available at or Kerry M. Curtis, P.Geo., a Qualified Person as defined in NI43-101, has approved the technical content of this presentation. The technical content contained in this presentation is based in part on historical reports. The historical reports pre-date NI reporting requirements and the Company cannot verify the content of the historical reports and is not responsible for the accuracy of the content of the historical reports. 2

3 Why Invest in InZinc Mining? Strong Foundation of Assets and Structure Two High Quality Zinc Projects Large, advanced stage zinc deposit with expansion potential Amenable to simple, conventional mining and processing Early stage exploration project with regional scale discovery potential Extensive near surface mineralized trend outlined by previous drilling Projects Benefit from Good Locations Existing Infrastructure and Safe Jurisdictions Excellent logistics, easy access and good infrastructure Safe jurisdictions conducive to exploration and development Low environmental impacts Capital Structure Disciplined Low shares outstanding No debt Corporate Team with Wide Range of Expertise, Achievements and Success 3

4 Why Invest in Zinc? 4 th Most Consumed Metal on the Planet Used as the great protector in steel production Mine closures outpacing new production Demand growing as supply diminishes Industry average zinc grades falling* (weighted average industry grade <5% Zn) 80% of zinc production is from underground mines** Supply challenges underpinned by both resource quality (lower grade and deeper) and scarcity Large zinc projects in safe jurisdictions with good infrastructure and low environmental impact are very rare alloys and castings 33% other 16% galvanizing 51% *Teck Investor and Analyst Day, March 30, 2016 **Dundee Capital Markets Feb,
