Forward-looking Statements The TSX-V has neither approved nor disapproved the contents of this presentation. Neither the TSX-V nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX-V) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this presentation. Certain statements in this presentation constitute “forward - looking statements” or “forward - looking information” within the mean ing of applicable securities laws. Such statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may”, “would”, “could”, “will”, “intend”, “expect”, “believe”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “scheduled”, “forecast”, “predict”, “foresee” and other similar terminology, or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. These statements reflect Kaizen’s current expectations regarding future events, performance and results and speak only as of the da te of this presentation. These include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: Kaizen’s plans to commence a drilling program at Pinaya once all required financing has been received; potential amendments to the planned Pinaya work program to account for the time it took to issue the Authorization to Commence Activities; finalizing renegotiated community and landowner access agreements and local weather conditions; the expectation that future financing will pay for the planned first phase of exploration at Pinaya and the identification and acquisition of high quality mineral projects that match evaluation criteria and align with corporate strategic objectives of the Company. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Kaizen or its mineral projects, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements or information. In making such statements, Kaizen has made assumptions regarding, among other things: general business and economic conditions; the availability of additional exploration and mineral project financing; the supply and demand for, inventories of, and the level and volatility of the prices of metals; ongoing relationships with strategic partners; the timing and receipt of governmental permits and approvals; changes in regulations; political factors; the accuracy of the Company ’s interpretation of drill results; the geology, grade and continuity of the Company’s mineral deposits; the availability of equipment, skilled labour and services needed for the exploration and development of mineral properties; and currency fluctuations. This presentation also contains references to estimates of Mineral Resources. The estimation of Mineral Resources is inherently uncertain and involves subjective judgments about many relevant factors. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The accuracy of any such estimates is a function of the quantity and quality of available data, and of the assumptions made and judgments used in engineering and geological interpretation, which may prove to be unreliable and depend, to a certain extent, upon the analysis of drilling results and statistical inferences that ultimately may prove to be inaccurate. Mineral Resource estimates may have to be re-estimated based on: (i) fluctuations in mineral prices; (ii) results of drilling; (iii) metallurgical testing and other studies; (iv) proposed and completed mining exploration programs; (v) the evaluation of exploration and drilling plans subsequent to the date of any estimates; and (vi) the possible failure to receive required permits, approvals and licenses. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this presentation and are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Subject to applicable securities laws, Kaizen does not assume any obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this presentation. Forward- looking information is designed to help you understand management’s current views of the Company’s near and longer term prospects, and it may not be appropriate for other purposes. Kaizen will not update any forward-looking statements or forward-looking information unless we are required to by applicable securities laws. 2 The forward-looking statements contained herein are based on information available and are made as of June 28, 2019.

WHY COPPER? • Long term supply deficit is forecast due to declining mining grades. • Fewer large mines being commissioned will reduce future supply further. This will lead to an increasing copper price. • Steady increase in demand is forecast, fuelled by growth in emerging economies requiring the metal for infrastructure projects and the growing market for electric vehicles.
