Nevada 3 Nevada enjoys unmatched infrastructure, skilled miners, consistent permitting protocols, relatively low taxes, a social license to operate and a safe operating environment. Nevada is home to the only brine based producing lithium operation in North America. It ranked 3 rd in the world for mining and 1 st in United States. Nevada is home to Tesla’s $5 billion lithium-ion battery Gigafactory, as well as the soon to be built Faraday Future $1 billion electric car plant.

Property Acquisition Strategy 4 Our corporate objective is to own 100% of all newly acquired projects with little to no cash, share or royalty considerations or exploration commitments payable to third parties. Our mandate is to be the prime Nevada project generator negotiating joint venture partnerships to make all future exploration expenditures while maintaining the ability to “cherry pick” several projects to develop 100% in- house.

Property Acquisition Strategy 5 To date, a number of highly attractive prospects have been investigated and approved for immediate acquisition. An advisory board has been formed to better assist in the selection, management and development of these lithium projects. Current projects include: • BFF-1 Clayton Valley Project Teels Marsh West Project • TSX-V: BFF OTCQB: SSMLF Frankfurt: A2AFBV nevadaenergymetals.com 5
Project: Clayton Valley BFF-1 6 The Company has 100% ownership of 77 claims (approximately 1,540 acres /623 hectares) in Clayton Valley, Esmeralda County Nevada. The southern boundary of the Clayton Valley Lithium Project lies 250 meters from the north west boundary of Albemarle Corporation’s Silver Peak lithium mine and brine processing operations. Clayton Valley is one of the few locations known to contain commercial-grade lithium-enriched brine in North America . TSX-V: BFF OTCQB: SSMLF Frankfurt: A2AFBV nevadaenergymetals.com 6
Clayton Valley: Regional Geology 7 The Goat Island graben segments Clayton Valley into a northerly- trending, 1-2 km-wide sub-basin with a distinct escarpment on each side. Geological modeling and assessment of historical drilling results by J.B. Hulen, PG, (July 31, 2008 report) concluded that both shallow thermalgradient and lithium-exploration drilling demonstrates that the northern portion of Clayton Valley contains the valley’s highest subsurface temperatures and that these temperatures may be localized in the Goat Island graben and its structural projections to the northeast and south. A graben is a depressed block of land bordered by parallel faults TSX-V: BFF OTCQB: SSMLF Frankfurt: A2AFBV nevadaenergymetals.com 7
Project: Teels Marsh West, 100% Owned 8 Nevada Energy Metals has acquired the Teels Marsh West Teels Marsh West is 100% owned without any royalties, located on Project, by staking 100 placer claims covering 2000 acres (809 the western part of a large evaporation pond, or playa (also known as a salar). Structural analysis reveals that Teels Marsh is bounded by hectares) at Teels Marsh, Nevada. The property is highly prospective for Lithium brines, and is located approximately 48 faults and is tectonically active. Lithium concentrations of up to 850 miles northwest of Clayton Valley and the Rockwood Lithium ppm have been reported from earlier sampling programs conducted Mine, North America’s only producing brine based Lithium mine. by the US Geological Surve y (OFR: 76-567) at Teels Marsh. TSX-V: BFF OTCQB: SSMLF Frankfurt: A2AFBV nevadaenergymetals.com 8
Project: Teels Marsh West, 100% Owned 9 In May 2016, the company conducted shallow auger hole samples resulting in lithium values ranging from 8.9 to 104.5 ppm. The two best results (93.2 and 104.5) were obtained downstream of thermal springs on the western part of the property. TSX-V: BFF OTCQB: SSMLF Frankfurt: A2AFBV nevadaenergymetals.com 9
Why Lithium? 10 The most important use of lithium is in rechargeable lithium-ion We have already seen Tesla batteries for electric vehicles, grid-scale energy storage , phones, increase the land holding of their laptops, cameras, gaming consoles and hundreds of other $ 5 billion lithium-ion battery electronic devices. Lithium-ion batteries are increasingly used for factory in Nevada and Faraday bikes, power tools, forklifts, cranes and other industrial Future strike a deal to build a $1 equipment. In essence, lithium powers modern technology. billion electric car plant. TSX-V: BFF OTCQB: SSMLF Frankfurt: A2AFBV nevadaenergymetals.com 10
Lithium’s High Demand 11 Due to lithium’s key role in batteries, and the ever expanding need of batteries to power our modern lives, lithium seems untouched by economic downturns. Proof of unstoppable lithium demand can be found in the fact that even though natural gas, coal & gasoline prices are down 50% or more, lithium prices increased by about 20% in 2014 and by a larger percentage in 2015. TSX-V: BFF OTCQB: SSMLF Frankfurt: A2AFBV nevadaenergymetals.com 11
Climate Change 12 Alarming evidence of climate change in the 1970s (increased droughts & flooding, sickening air pollution) led to a frenzied search for clean, green energy solutions. In fighting climate change, the transportation industry was first to be targeted. Each year the list of Electric Vehicles (EVs) grows, and we have reached a time where nearly every major automaker has plans to, or is producing, a fully electric vehicle. Demand for EVs and other transportation modes such as electric buses, electric trucks and even electric planes, is rapidly increasing. Perhaps nothing is more symbolic of the dangers of climate change than elevated levels of smog. Both the Netherlands and Norway are looking to ban the sale of Fossil-Fuel vehicles by 2025.

Renewables 13 With demand for such high-density energy Storage of energy produced by renewable, yet storage set to surge as vehicles become greener cyclical, power sources like wind & solar depends on storage so that they may be used without and electricity becomes cleaner, Goldman interruption. Since the generation of electricity Sachs, an investment bank, calls lithium “the from wind & solar is, on average, “switched on” new gasoline”. just 20% to 30% of the time, only batteries can – The Economist make green alternatives viable.
