Buchans Resources Forw ard Looking Statem ents Information set forth in this presentation (the “Presentation Materials”) is provided by Buchans Resources Limited (the “Company”) and may involve forward-looking statements under applicable securities laws. Forward-looking statements are statements that relate to future, not past, events. In this context, forward-looking statements often address expected future business and financial performance, and often contain words such as "anticipate", "believe", "plan", "estimate", "expect", and "intend“; statements that an action or event "may", "might", "could", "should", or "will" be taken or occur, or other similar expressions. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included herein including, without limitation; statements about the terms and completion of the transaction with Buchans and Canadian Zinc, the planned financing and the potential of the properties, including the details of the Lundberg PEA are forward-looking statements. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or other future events, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the following risks: the need for additional financing; operational risks associated with mineral exploration; requirement to obtain shareholder approval; failure to execute definitive agreements fluctuations in commodity prices; title matters; environmental liability claims and insurance; reliance on key personnel; the potential for conflicts of interest among certain officers, directors or promoters with certain other projects; the absence of dividends; competition; dilution; the volatility of our common share price and volume and the additional risks identified the management discussion and analysis section of our interim and most recent annual financial statement or other reports and filings with the Exchange and applicable Canadian securities regulations.

  11. Buchans Resources Bobbys Pond and Daniels Pond Bobbys Pond Deposit • Deposit has vertical orientation, favourable metallurgical characteristics and high grade mineralization which comes to surface • Thick intervals of low grade copper stringer mineralization indicate that the mineralized system continues at depth • Potential for very high grade stopes with numerous composite assays greater than 12% Zn • Good recoveries and concentrate grades in preliminary metallurgical study • 80% Cu recoveries with 23% concentrate • 80% Zn recoveries with 57% concentrate Daniels Pond Deposit • High-grade VMS base metal deposit exposed at surface • Located within the highly prospective Tulks North Property, in the same mineral belt as the Boomerang deposit • 83 drill holes totaling 15,411 m were completed in 2007 and 2008 Resource Estim ate for Bobbys Pond 1 Resource Estim ate for Daniels Pond 1 Category Tonnes Grade Category Tonnes Grade Zn (%) Pb (%) Cu (%) Ag (g/t) Au (g/t) Zn (%) Pb (%) Cu (%) Ag (g/t) Au (g/t) Indicated 1,095,000 4.61 0.44 0.86 16.6 0.2 Indicated 1,162,000 4.44 2.12 0.31 87.79 0.60 Inferred 445,000 3.88 1.74 0.27 81.63 0.52 Inferred 1,177,000 3.75 0.27 0.95 10.95 0.06 1.

  13. Buchans Resources Canadian Zinc and Buchans Resources Mineral Collaboration • Canadian Zinc and Buchans Resources agreement to share research data on their central Newfoundland VMS deposits • Research program funded in part by government agency, Research Development Corporation of Newfoundland and Labrador, to determine technical and economic viability of developing deposits using a central milling facility • Five deposits: Lundberg, Lem archant, Boom erang-Dom ino, Bobbys Pond and Daniels Pond 1 3

  14. Buchans Resources Metallurgical Research Program Research Program Funded by Research Developm ent Corporation ( RDC) of New foundland and Labrador • Research program dem onstrated that ore from all five deposits can be processed using a sequential flow sheet in a central m illing facility Results of Research Program March 2 0 1 7 : • Sequential flowsheet provides better grades and recoveries for Cu, Pb and Zn concentrates compared with bulk flotation flowsheet. • Test results and simulations confirm sequential flow sheet yields selective Zn, Pb and Cu concentrates at m arketable grades • Lundberg enhances viability of central milling facility and future development of region's mineral resources 1 4
