Forward ‐ Looking Statements This presentation contains certain forward ‐ looking statements. Forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievement of INV Metals Inc. (“INV Metals”) to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward ‐ looking statements. Such factors include, among others, risks related to the actual results of exploration activities, conclusions of economic evaluations and the assumptions on which such economic evaluations are based, the industry ‐ wide risks and Loma Larga Project ‐ specific risks which are identified in the technical report (the “Technical Report”) that summarizes the Preliminary Feasibility Study (the “PFS”) available on SEDAR, risks associated with mining and mineral exploration activities, uncertainty in the estimation of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, including, without limitation, the assumptions on which such estimates are based, changes in Loma Larga Project parameters as plans continue to be refined, uncertainty surrounding metallurgical test results, future prices of metals, economic and political stability in Ecuador and Canada, the results of discussions with the Ecuador government, the risk of future unfavourable tax law or regulation changes in Ecuador, environmental risks and hazards, increased infrastructure and/or operating costs, availability of future financing, labour and employment matters, and government regulation. There is no guarantee that any drill targets or economic mineral deposits will be found on INV Metals’ properties. For a more detailed discussion of such risks and other factors, refer to INV Metals’ annual information form (the “AIF”) and other regulatory filings filed with Canadian securities regulators available on SEDAR. Except as required by law, INV Metals does not assume any obligation to release publicly any revisions to forward ‐ looking statements contained in this presentation to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Qualified Persons and NI 43 ‐ 101 Disclosure Ms. Shastri Ramnath, a Licensed Professional Geologist with the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario and consultant to INV Metals, is a "Qualified Person" by virtue of education and relevant experience, as such term is defined in NI 43 ‐ 101, and has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information related to Loma Larga included in this presentation on slides 14 ‐ 17. The remaining scientific and technical information contained in this presentation has been reviewed and approved by Dawson Proudfoot, P.Eng., Project Manager, INV Metals Inc. and a Qualified Person under NI 43 ‐ 101. By virtue of his education and relevant experience, Mr. Proudfoot is a "Qualified Person" for the purpose of NI 43 ‐ 101. For readers to fully understand the information in this presentation, they should review the Technical Report in its entirety, including all of the qualifications, assumptions and exclusions that relate to the information set out in the Technical Report, which qualify the technical information contained in the Technical Report. The Technical Report is intended to be read as a whole, and sections should not be reviewed or relied upon out of context. The Technical Report also describes the Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimation methodologies and the assumptions used, and to which those estimates are subject. As noted above, the AIF includes details of certain risk factors that could materially affect the potential development of the Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves and should be considered carefully. Non ‐ IFRS Performance Measures “Adjusted Operating Costs”, “All ‐ in Sustaining Costs”, and “Total Operating Costs per Tonne” are non ‐ International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) Performance Measures. These performance measures are included because these statistics are key performance measures that management uses to monitor performance. Management uses these statistics to assess how the Loma Larga Project ranks against its peer projects and to assess the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the contemplated mining operations. These performance measures do not have a meaning within IFRS and, therefore, amounts presented may not be comparable to similar data presented by other mining companies. These performance measures should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with IFRS. Currency All references to currencies herein, unless otherwise noted, are to U.S. dollars. 2

E CUADOR – ST R ONG COMMI T ME NT T O MI NI NG Creation of Ministry of Mines in 2015 with strong commitment to advance the mining sector within Ecuador Positive changes in Mining Laws and Regulations: Ability to recover initial capital investment prior to application of windfall tax • Windfall tax calculation based on 10 year average trailing gold price plus one • standard deviation, allowing for CPI inflation adjustments Recoverability of VAT beginning in 2018, after export sales commence • Lundin Gold successfully moving forward on pathway to production Several Recent financings for Ecuador focused companies in 2016 President Correa on responsible mining: “Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa argued that a large part of Ecuador’s future lies in developing responsible mining, minimizing the environmental impact while achieving the well ‐ being of Ecuadorians, especially the inhabitants of the areas neighboring mining projects.” Source: Pulbimetro Ecuador, Diciembre 23, 2015 7
