One 30/50 sample tested at 7K, with 11.77% fines at 8K 2. Three 40/70 test samples tested at 8K, with lowest fines of the three samples at 9K testing at 11.08% 3. One 50/140 sample tested at 12K, with 10.23% fines at 13K 4. Three 70/140 test samples resulting in a range of 10K – 11K 5. 95lbs of bulk samples from six different boreholes from the 2018 sampling program at varying depths were sent to Lonquist Lab Preliminary Test Results from Raw Samples that were washed, run through an attrition scrubber and dried at Lonquist Labs in Edmonton, AB. See the Technical Report published by CPS on SEDAR prepared in accordance with NI43-101 for Test Results completed in 2018 at StimLab, which did not include attrition scrubbing as part of the wash process. (Technical Report Section 11 contains test results from 263 tests conducted at TPS, and 14 bulk samples conducted at StimLab) 5

Logistics Advantage  Rail access to all parts of Duvernay, Montney, Viking and Bakken activity  Potential Unit-train access at 3 rd party transloads in Montney and Duvernay • Access to three Class 1 Railroads in Winnipeg with • Access to three Class 1 Railroads in Winnipeg with full-capacity rail (105 MT payload per car) full-capacity rail (105 MT payload per car) • Access to Western Canada and North Dakota demand • Access to Western Canada and North Dakota demand of over 11 million tonnes (2018 data) of over 11 million tonnes (2018 data) • Unit-train access into Montney & Duvernay 3 rd party • Unit-train access into Montney & Duvernay 3 rd party transloads transloads Lake Winnipeg Wanipigow Area Hub 6

WCSB Frac Sand Demand CPS quality and finer mesh sand are ideally-suited to serve WCSB and CPS Target Markets 2018 Well Count 2018 tonnes placed Bakken’s growing needs: Montney 1,200 3,000,000 • Proppant intensity increasing at ~CAGR of 25% Duvernay 2,100,000 750 • High-intensity wells drilled increasing annually at ~CAGR 30% (incl. E Duv. & Deep Basin) • 100 mesh usage is steadily rising in WCSB with Duvernay basin Viking & Shaunavon 1,500 500,000 leading the way Bakken (ND) 5,400,000 1,150 • Viking, Shaunavon and Bakken use mostly Northern White Sand as no regional mines are within economical trucking distance Total 11,000,000 4,600 • Duvernay wells near Whitecourt reaching intensities of over 10,000 tonnes/well • 2019 Consumption is expected to be ~25% lower y/y but NWS Montney Duvernay (incl. Deep Basin) Bakken (ND) Other WCSB demand is still strong 6,000 High Intensity Wells Drilled 4 Proppant Intensity per Well 4 (tonne/well) 5,000 CAGR ~25% 4,000 CAGR ~30% 3,000 2,000 1,000 NWS - 2016 2017 2018 2016 2017 2018 Montney Duvernay (incl. Deep Basin) Bakken (ND) 4. Data gathered from AccuMaps Frac Module, FracFocus, ShaleProfile and market studies; Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR); y/y Year-over-Year 7

WCSB NWS Demand Duvernay NWS Technical Need 5 Montney NWS Technical Need 5 Total NWS Consumption in CPS Target Markets 7 < 2mm MT Regional 16% Regional NWS 46% 54% > 9mm MT NWS NWS 99% 84% Majority of Proppant in WCSB is placed in wells with average treatment pressure higher than 8,000 psi 5 CPS Target Markets’ NWS Demand > 9 million MT Regional Sand quality ranges from 6,000 psi (minimum API spec) to Based on 2018 demand, which is expected to grow significantly in 7,000 psi crush strength, making it technically unsuitable for high- 2020 and onwards pressure wells in Montney and majority of wells in Duvernay CPS target markets provide substantial demand for our sand NWS Quality Benefits • 84% of all proppant used in CPS target markets is Northern White Sand 7 • Produces less fines over time resulting in 2x • conductivity 6 Viking, Shaunavon and Bakken ND use mostly Northern White Sand as • no regional mines are within economical trucking distance Less harmful to pumping equipment (less angular in shape) • Current supply into Western Canada comes from Wisconsin via CN (approx. 70%) and lower quality regional mines on trucks (approx. 30%) 5. Calculated using reported average well treatment pressures of over and under 8,000 psi, most low-quality regional sand can not meet higher than 7,000 psi crush strength; data gathered from AccuMaps, FracFocus, ShaleProfile and internal market studies in Q2 2019 6. Stim-Lab data 7. Data shows current consumption trends from various sources and market studies for CPS target markets of Montney, Duvernay, Viking, Shaunavon and North Dakota Bakken 8
