TSXV: MCI | AGRDF: OTC Pink Cautionary Notes Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-looking Information This presentation contains certain information that may constitute forward-looking information under applicable Canadian and U.S. securities legislation, including but not limited to information about current expectations on the timing, extent and success of exploration, development and metallurgical sampling activities, the timing and success of mining operations, the optimization of mine plans, milling activity at the PL Mill, the timing and completion of updated mineral resource and reserve estimates in respect of the PL and Nokomis deposits, the Company's intention and ability to monetize mineralized material, project development and related permitting, the financial condition of Minnova and the ability of Minnova to finance exploration and development funding requirements and the ability of Minnova to meet forecast production and cost targets. This forward-looking information entails various risks and uncertainties that are based on current expectations, and actual results may differ materially from those contained in such information. These uncertainties and risks include, but are not limited to, the strength of the global economy; the price of gold; operational, funding and liquidity risks; the degree to which mineral resource estimates are reflective of actual mineral resources; the degree to which factors which would make a mineral deposit commercially viable are present; the risks and hazards associated with underground operations; and the ability of Minnova to fund its substantial capital requirements and operations. Risks and uncertainties about the Company’s business are more fully discussed in the Company’s disclosure materials filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada which are available at www.sedar.com. Readers are urged to read these materials. Minnova assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking information or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from such information unless required by law. Cautionary Note Concerning Resource Estimate: Information concerning mineral resource estimates and the interpretation of exploration programs and drill results also may be considered forward-looking statements, as such information constitutes a prediction of what mineralization might be found to be present and economically mineable if and when a project is actually developed. Qualified Person Mr. Chris Buchanan, M.Sc., P. Geo., a consultant of the Company and a “Qualified Person” under National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in this presentation.

Reserve/Resource Gold Grades Understated? Leverage #2 – Potential Increase in Reserve Grade • Initiated Metallic Screen Fire Assay (“MSFA”) check assay program following the positive feasibility study to assess thesis that grades are understated due to small assay sample size in traditional Fire Assay (“FA”) possibly resulting in coarse gold not being captured. • The MSFA check assay program is a high impact study, any increase in gold grade of the mineral reserve and resource can have a positive impact on the economic analysis. • 10% increase in mineral reserve gold grade could potentially increase the project NPV from the base case NPV of $36.70 million 1 to $66.40 million, a potential increase of over 80%. After-Tax NPV 5% ($M) Parameter Variation of Parameter Relative to Base Case -20% -15% -10% -5% 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% Head Grade -$24.78 -$9.21 $6.30 $21.68 $36.70 $51.56 $66.40 $81.25 $96.09 Gold Price -$24.97 -$9.36 $6.21 $21.63 $36.70 $51.56 $66.49 $81.38 $96.29 Operating Costs $77.25 $67.19 $56.95 $46.80 $36.70 $26.49 $16.24 $5.84 -$4.66 Capital Costs $50.17 $46.79 $43.40 $40.04 $36.70 $33.37 $30.06 $26.76 $23.46 • Results to date are encouraging exhibiting positive reconciliation of +10% increase in MFSA gold grade versus original FA grade. High Impact, Low Budget MFSA Program has Potential to Significantly Increase NPV 1) See March 2018 Feasibility Study report for further information.

Significant Course/Free Gold Identified Positive Implications for High Gravity Recovery • Metallic Screen Fire Assay (“MSFA”) check assay program has highlighted the significant free/coarse gold that occurs in the mineralized veins/shears that make up the PL Gold Deposit. • Initial results support the thesis that gold grades may be potentially understated by traditional Fire Assay (“FA”) techniques. This is particularly evident when MFSA results are greater than 3g/t. Average Variance all samples -0.82% Average Variance - 0 to 3g/t -27.56% Average Variance - Plus 3g/t 22.50% Average Variance - Plus 5g/t 31.69% Average Variance - Plus 10g/t 23.53% • Results from 49 MFSA samples indicate significant positive variance above the resource cut off grade of 3g/t. For example, the average positive variance in MSFA vs original FA is +22.5 % for all samples greater than 3g/t. • The confirmation of significant free/coarse gold has additional positive implications for re-designing the process flow sheet to incorporate the latest in gravity recovery techniques.
