BERKWOOD HAS MADE A GRAPHITE DISCOVERY THE FACTS: 1. 3 Drill programs completed for 4006 m. 27 holes drilled all hiMng mineralizaPon. 2. 26 of the 27 wholes having significant graphite intersecPons. (one hole 130 m) 3. Assays successfully confirmed Graphite with average grades in the range of 14.39 to 25.52% Cgr and true thicknesses ranging 22.1 to 90 metres 4. We have Large Flack and High Grade Graphite – Used in the anode of car ba`eries 5. One of the largest land holders in the area now. 6. Only 33.5 million shares outstanding. 7. On-trend, adjacent to Mason Graphite's (TSX-LLG) massive graphite deposit. 8. Vanadium, Cobalt and Lithium projects also in Quebec. 3
DEMAND FOR GRAPHITE IS GROWING • EV DEMAND - 10 countries have mandated EV cars by 2030 to 2040 • SOLAR AND WIND FARMS - storing energy to sell at peak Pmes • HOME – ba`eries to store energy from solar roofs. 3

End Users of Graphite TradiPonal uses in Modern Industry • Steel Making - added to raise carbon content. • Electrodes in electric arc furnaces • Brake pad linings • Dry lubricants New Technologies and Clean Energy • Fuel cells, which power hybrid and electric vehicles. • Lithium Ion BaLeries in portable consumer devices, laptops, smartphones etc. • Heat spreaders in tablet computers, flat panel displays etc. • Lining for modern Pebble Bed Nuclear Reactors. • Development of Graphene - -known as the miracle material of the 21st century. 5
The Power Of Graphite “Our cells should be called Nickel-Graphite, because primarily the cathode is nickel and the anode side is graphite with silicon oxide… [there’s] a liQle bit of lithium in there, but it’s like the salt on the salad,” Mr. Elon Musk – Tesla CEO. 6
SUCCESS IN SMALL CAP RESOURCE SECTOR 3 Things needed for success are: GEOLOGICAL STRUCTURE MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE SHARE STRUCTURE 7
BERKWOOD RESOURCES LTD. TSXv-BKR Offers all three Structures… Geological Structure - Mason Graphite preparing to build a mine next door and their structure appears to trend onto our property. All three drill programs have intersected graphite in the 27 holes drilled so far - Acquired Vanadium, Cobalt and Lithium Projects recently adding to Berkwood’s high tech mineral mandate. Management Structure - Management team has over 200 years of experience in raising capital and working on many numerous producing mines around the world. Share Structure – - Only 33.5 million shares outstanding 8
GEOLOGICAL STRUCTURE “The best place to look for a new mine is in the shadow of head frames.” Where there is one mine there is o9en others! 9
Extensions of Advanced Graphite Project Mason Graphite’s advanced Lac Guéret Project has at least 75 million tonnes of high grade large flake graphite with robust economics showing a $160 million cost to build the mine, a 2.5 year payback and a minimum of 24 years of mine life. Berkwood’s Lac Guéret directly borders Mason Graphite’s property to the east and south and shares similar prospec?ve geology including along strike stra?graphic units, structure and geophysical anomalies. Sept 6 th , 2017 Berkwood announced it increased its land package by 5 Pmes due to intersec?ng graphite in all 13 of the first holes drilled! One of the largest land holders in the area now. 10
Lac Guéret Extensions Project Loca?on and Access • Located in Côte Nord, Quebec, Canada. Part of Plan Nord region, Quebec’s highly regarded sustainable development ini?a?ve • Three hours driving ?me from the city of Baie-Comeau (290km) which has daily connec?ons with major airlines. Mason Graphite has announced plans to build a large graphite processing plant in Baie- Comeau • Easy access via a major secondary road and numerous ter?ary and forest roads that traverse the property. • The Government of Quebec has commiLed $400 million to improve HWY 389 to the upcoming Fermont and Mason mine, which happens to go right past our property too. 11
Heli-Borne Geophysical Survey -High tech survey for a high tech mineral In 2014 (MAG-EM) airborne geophysical survey iden?fied several large EM anomalous zones 12
Ground Geophysical crews confirming presence of airborne anomalies 16
Previous years ground geophysical mag-em surveys confirmed Zone 1 airborne anomaly was real and highly conduc?ve as well. September 2017 drill program confirms anomaly is Graphite! 27 drill holes have intersected Graphite on this property to date. 18
Lac Guéret Extensions Graphite Project Quebec August- September 2017 Phase 1. 1,850 metre drill program completed intersec?ng graphite in every drill hole to date! • November 22, 2017 Phase 2 Drill program completed all five holes intersected graphite. February 2018 Phase 3 Drill program complete, all holes mineralized and one hole 130.55m at 17.37% Cgr. 20
