This document contains certain forward-looking information. This forward-looking information includes, or may be based upon, estimates, forecasts, and statements as to management’s expectations with respect to, among other things, the size and quality of the Company’s mineral resources, progress in development of mineral properties, timing and cost for placing the Company’s mineral projects into production, costs of production, amount and quality of metal products recoverable from the Company’s mineral resources, demand and market outlook for metals and coal and future metal and coal prices. Forward-looking information is based on the opinions and estimates of management at the date the information is given, and is subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking information. These factors include the inherent risks involved in the exploration and development of mineral properties, uncertainties with respect to the receipt or timing of required permits and regulatory approvals, the uncertainties involved in interpreting drilling results and other geological data, fluctuating metal and coal prices, the possibility of project cost overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses, uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future, uncertainties related to metal recoveries and other factors. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred mineral resources are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that mineral resources will be converted into mineral reserves. Readers are cautioned to not place undue reliance on forward-looking information because it is possible that predictions, forecasts, projections and other forms of forward-looking information will not be achieved by the Company. The forward-looking information contained herein is made as of the date hereof and the Company assumes no responsibility to update them or revise it to reflect new events or circumstances, except as required by law . 2

Arctos is the largest & most advanced Canadian project of high rank anthracite coal Highest quality metallurgical coal with very high carbon & energy content Represents only 1% of world coal reserves Metallurgical coal with diverse applications Metallurgical Reductants / charge carbon Ultra-Low Vol. PCI Sinter Other products: Filter media Blend coal with coking coal for making metallurgical coke Direct coke replacement Urea fertilizers, synthetic fuels & plastics Heating & cooking briquettes Pelletizing Premium thermal coal Cement 7
Steelmakers expanding Pulverized Coal Injection (PCI) use to reduce costs, improve margins PCI reduces the amount of coke in blast furnace (made from coking coal) Seaborne PCI market expected to grow at 8% CAGR to 2018 Low-vol PCI typically priced at 70% to 80% of high quality hard coking coal Arctos PCI will achieve a higher price due to higher carbon & ultra-low volatile content Arctos coal will also have diverse usage in other metallurgical processes Sinter feed Can replace 15% - 30% of blast furnace coke with anthracite New steel technologies (Cokonyx / HiSmelt) Growth of electric arc steel manufacturing Ferroalloys & other metal processing Source: Macarthur Coal, Peabody 8
