Forward-Looking Statements No stock exchange, securities commission or other regulatory authority has approved or disapproved the sampling; the timing, extent and success of PurLucid Treatment Solutions Inc. (“PurLucid”) deployment information contained on this presentation. This presentation contains "forward-looking information" of commercial scale water treatment and lithium extraction projects to targeted system specifications concerning MGX Minerals Inc. ’s (“MGX”) future financial or operating performance and other statements and output and Zincnyx Energy Solutions Inc. (“ZincNyx”) deployment of commercial scale zinc-air fuel that express management's expectations or estimates of future developments, circumstances or results. cell technology and modular storage system to target specifications and utility scale output; Generally, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such opportunities for growth of mineral and brine extraction projects and the renewable energy markets at as “seeks”, "believes", "anticipates", "plans", “continues”, "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "expects", large; the ability to adapt to changes in lithium, water and electricity prices; estimates of costs, planned "forecasts", "intends", “projects”, “predicts”, “proposes”, "potential", “targets” and variations of such words exploration, development expenditures and development, construction and operating costs of PurLucid, and phrases, or by statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "will", "could", "would", ZincNyx, and mining projects. “should” or "might" "be taken", "occur" or "be achieved". While all forward-looking statements involve MGX may decide to advance its petrolithium projects into production without first establishing mineral various risks and uncertainties, these statements are based on certain assumptions that management of resources supported by an independent technical report or completing a feasibility study. A production MGX believes are reasonable, including that it will be able to obtain financing and on reasonable terms, decision without the benefit of a technical report independently establishing mineral resources or that its current exploration and other objectives can be achieved, that its exploration and other activities reserves and any feasibility study demonstrating economic and technical viability creates increased will proceed as expected, that its community and environmental impact procedures will work as uncertainty and heightens economic and technical risks of failure. Historically, such projects have a anticipated, that general business and economic conditions will not change in a material adverse much higher risk of economic or technical failure. manner, that MGX will not experience any material accident, failure or shortage of equipment, and that all necessary government approvals for its planned exploration and potential development activities will be Although MGX has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ obtained in a timely manner and on acceptable terms.

The New Energy Economy Is Cleantech Wind and solar represent #1 source of new energy • capacity coming online worldwide • Electric vehicles will hold significant market share of automobile sector by 2025 • Industrial wastewater treatment expected to grow into a $29 billion market annually by 2025 • Investments and global commitments to ‘Cleantech’ are driving down costs dramatically and building the new energy economy Dilemma: Cleantech requires innovative processes and efficient storage to become a viable long-term solution 4 | MGX Minerals Inc.
The New Energy Economy Is Reliant on Lithium As electric cars become mainstream and renewable energy sources increase grid capacity, the demand for lithium- ion batteries will grow exponentially. Lithium’s characteristics make it prevalent among other forms of energy storage. 5 | MGX Minerals Inc.
