2 Forward-Looking Statement Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements Information set forth in this presentation contains forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions as of the date of this summary. These statements reflect management s current estimates, beliefs, intentions and expectations. They are not guarantees of future performance. Zinc One cautions that all forward looking statements are inherently uncertain and that actual performance may be affected by a number of material factors, many of which are beyond their respective control. Such factors include, among other things: risks and uncertainties relating to metal prices, changes in planned work resulting from weather, logical, technical or other factors, the possibility that results of work will not fulfill expectations and realize the perceived potential of Zinc One s mineral properties, uncertainties involved in the interpretation of drilling results and other tests, the possibility that required permits may not be obtained in a timely manner or at all, risk of accidents, equipment breakdowns or other unanticipated difficulties or interruptions, the possibility of cost overruns or unanticipated expenses in work programs, the risk of environmental contamination or damage resulting from the exploration operations, ability to obtain sufficient financing to implement its exploration, Zinc One receiving favorable economic studies on its mineral projects and development plans on Zinc One s mineral properties and the need to comply with environmental and governmental regulations. Accordingly, actual and future events, conditions and results may differ materially from the estimates, beliefs, intentions and expectations expressed or implied in the forward looking information. Except as required under applicable securities legislation, Zinc One undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking information. Cautionary Statement on Historical Resource Estimate The historical resource estimate set forth in this presentation was prepared by the previous operator, Corianta S.A. in an internal report dated June 13, 2011 on the Bongará Zinc Oxide Mine. Although the historical resource estimate used measure resources, indicated resources and inferred resources, the historical estimate was not done in compliance with CIM standards. Zinc One considers these categories relevant as it represents the Zinc One s main target for exploration and development work on the Bongará Zinc Mine. Zinc One is confirming the reliability of the historical resource estimate and the information supporting the historical resource estimate. The qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource. Zinc One is not treating these historical estimates current mineral resources. Qualified Persons Bill Williams, Ph.D., CPG, COO and a director of Zinc One, is a qualified person as defined in National Instrument Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, and has reviewed and approved all technical information in this presentation. 2

3 Zinc One Fundamentals Zinc One Resources is focused on reactivating production at Bongará Zinc Mine Project, Peru and recently completed a successful drill program. Bongará Zinc Mine Project, Peru Very high-grade Zn past producer Mined 150,000 > 20% Zn Processed in Waelz kiln with > 90% recovery (>65% Zn conc.) from zinc oxides, carbonates, and silicates Mineralization at or near surface allowing for open pit mining Historical resource Measured and Indicated: >1, 000, % Zn* Inferred: > 200, % Zn* Successful 2018 drill program that confirmed, and perhaps increased, historical resources Excellent upside potential for discovery of new deposits Near-term production potential Strong community support *See Cautionary Statement 3

7 Uses of Zinc Today Zinc compounds (zinc oxide/zinc sulfate) 8% Bronze/Brass 14% Zinc base alloys (die cast industry) 15% Zinc alloys 15% Galvanizing (corrosion protection of steel, vehicles, etc.) 60% Zinc is currently the 4th most widely consumed metal in the world after iron, aluminum, and copper and the 24th most abundant element in the Earth s crust. Advances in zinc battery technology Zinc batteries have been used for decades. Improved technology has led to longer-life and steadier voltage output and the potential as a fuel cell providing power to electric vehicles including scooters, buses and trucks. Advances in zinc for human health Zinc deficiency takes a toll on humans and agricultural productivity. It is the most common micronutrient deficiency affecting >50% of agricultural soils. Zinc fertilizer can significantly increase crop yield, boost nutritional value and improve farmers incomes. Source: International Zinc Association 7

8 Peru: Mining-Friendly Country Peru is a Global Leader in the Mining Sector World s 3rd largest producer of zinc. Legal and tax systems designed to support mining Investment law guarantees security of foreign and domestic investments Growing economy driven largely by mining Immense potential for future development More than 50 years of Canadian-Peruvian mining collaboration 8
