• Met testing show potential for >88% recovery

• PEA included data acquired from Cameco from their work on Minergia, improve leaching time, and acid consumption requirements

• Fuel and other key mining cost drivers optimized under new mining sequence, land constraints from 2014 PEA removed

• Project shows improved, robust economics at uranium prices below peer precedents; flexible economic production at varying uranium prices

• Additional upside to be further considered prior to commencement of PFS

Page 11: Plateau Uranium Inc Presentation June 2016

Project Adjacent to Road and Power

Site Access & Regional Infrastructure

11* All figures in US dollars

• 650 km southeast of Lima • Road Access – Interoceanic Highway just to the

east linking the project to Pacific and Atlantic Ocean ports; all-weather gravel roads to communities

• Juliaca – city and airport 220 km to the south with several daily flights from Lima

• Grid power – San Gaban hydro generating station 20 km north; high voltage power lines adjacent to project

• Mild Climate – low latitude, high altitude -2 to 15 °C typical range causing no issues for uranium processing

Standard Mining, Processing & Yellowcake Production

Process Design – Mining & Processing

13* All figures in US dollars

• Standard 30,000 tpd open pit mining with small underground operation contemplated using continuous miners/conveyors to supplement higher grade material

• Low work index/crushing requirements• Standard acid heap leach uranium extraction

process in proven use around the world• Standard Solvent Extraction with Ion Exchange

(SX-IX) uranium precipitation producing yellowcake with no deleterious elements

• Previous work by Cameco & Plateau predecessors demonstrate excellent leach kinetics, low acid consumption, high recoveries and in-spec yellowcake product

• Future test work: significant potential exists to consider ore sorting/screening; tank leach processing and effects of lower acid cost

Project Specific Opportunities

18

Substantial Project Upside to be Evaluated in 2016

• 85% of exploration land package undrilled• 52.9M lbs M&I/72.1M lbs Inferred resources defined on the project; <70Mlbs used as feed

for PEA• Simplicity and low cost to explore and convert resources to reserves to prove up to feasibility

study: shallow deposits; company has its owns drills – Discovery, delineation and acquisition costs to date at $0.36/lb in ground

• Scalability: higher-grade/smaller capex options & larger robust options considered• Additional work on tank leach option planned – better recoveries and leach cycle times• Initial work by Cameco and others suggest potential economic improvement with size/screen

sorting – additional work required.• Royalties: currently conservative 3% NSR assumed in PEA; in Peru royalties are negotiated

and usually range between 1-3% of profits – upside for financial model• Evaluation of Lithium potential – large resource base, initial leach tests show 73% recovery• Strong Economics using $50/lb: project can be optimized for higher and lower price

environments

Page 19: Plateau Uranium Inc Presentation June 2016

Lithium & Potassium Resources

19

Evaluating By-product Lithium Potential

Lithium Resources all within Uranium Resources• Only 4 deposits have sufficient Li analyses:

Quebrada Blanca; Chilcuno; Tantamaco & Isivilla• All reported Li within 75 ppm U economic cutoff

used in Uranium PEA• Colibri II/III uranium deposits have Lithium, but no Li

resources established yet. Re-analysis of these deposits for Li is a planned priority

• Lithium is widespread and very consistent throughout the host rocks – Li resources will grow

Lithium recoveries of up to 73% in un-optimized external tests by K-UTEC experts• Additional extraction/precipitation work planned

Page 20: Plateau Uranium Inc Presentation June 2016

Un-modelled U & Li Resources

20

Future Upside for Additional Resources to Extend Mine Life

Corachapi and Corani Complexes• Not considered in PEA update (size/grade/proximity)• Existing Mineral Resource estimates of over 10 M lbs• Additional drill targets exist – higher grades expected

Sayaña and Agaton Complexes• Substantial historical exploration drilling completed

• 180 Drill Holes (13,000 m)

• Mineralization and Uranium assay data positive; Lithium present, but re-analysis necessary

• No current resource estimate – minor confirmation & in-fill drilling and QA/QC needed

Regional Exploration – Key Targets

21

Over 910 km2 of Exploration Concessions

7.5 km radius

• Consolidated >910 km2 land package

• One of the largest uranium districts in the world

• Un-tested Mineralized prospects at surface

• Drilling focused on <15% of land package

• Significant exploration potential exists

• Uranium and by-product Li potential exists throughout the District

Lithium Demand & Price Increasing

40

• Present demand growth driven by E-Vehicles; Future by Grid Storage• Based on only 1-2% E-Vehicle penetration

• Li-Carbonate input cost represents only ~2% of battery cost• Prices expected to normalize ~$7,500/t (Analyst and Producer consensus)

• 40 years of Li battery development to date – 25 years commercial• No alternate battery technology expected for many years
