This potentially could decrease the strip ratio and add to the resource base 4

TSX-V: NCX OVERVIEW OF ASSETS 1) Significant upside potential to improve the Hushamu Project Economics EXPLORATION UPSIDE LOW-RISK VALUE ENHANCEMENTS ▪ Hushamu resource expansions ▪ Potential to improve recovery rates ‒ Deposit is open to the southeast with potentially ▪ Potential to include rhenium credits (potential expand the deposit by up to 300m for +$600m in additional revenue) ‒ Potential to decrease the strip ratio as a previously supposed 300m diameter barren area was found by ▪ Potential to decrease initial capital and 2017 drilling to have significant intervals above cut- sustaining capital by using old BHP pit located off grade ▪ Red Dog resource expansion: 30 km away for waste disposal via slurry pipeline ‒ drilling in 2016 and 2017 shows potential for buried porphyry deposit to south of known deposit ▪ Further optimize the mine plan ‒ 1.2km x 0.8 km area of high level porphyry alteration ‒ Shallow drill holes show increasing copper grades with depth ▪ NW Expo exploration target: ‒ Large 1.5 km long IP anomaly ‒ Three holes tested to the northwest intersected intervals of +80m averaging 0.1% Cu and 0.1 g/t Au or better 7
