Lac Guéret Extensions Project Location and Access

Located in Côte Nord, Quebec, Canada. Part of Plan Nord region, Quebec’s highly regarded sustainable development initiative

Three hours driving time from the city of Baie-Comeau (290km) which has daily connections 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 tertiary and forest roads that traverse the property.

The Lac Guéret Extensions Graphite Project consists of two blocks of claims: Lac Guéret South Block: 5,788 Ha - 107 contiguous claims; Lac Guéret East Block: 2,269 Ha – 41 contiguous claims.

Extensions of Advanced Graphite Project Mason Graphite’s advanced Lac Guéret Project has an NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate with

Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves of 62.8 million tonnes grading 17.2% Cgr (Carbon as Graphite) and a positive Feasibility Study dated November 2015 and available on www.sedar.com .

Berkwood’s Lac Guéret Extensions Project directly borders Mason Graphite’s property to the east and south and shares similar prospective geology including along strike stratigraphic units, structure and geophysical anomalies.

Lac Guéret Extensions Graphite Project, Quebec

Page 7: Corporate Presentation - BERKWOOD RESOURCES LTD. · Corporate Overview . Berkwood Resources Ltd. is a Canadian junior exploration company based in Vancouver, Canada and trades on

Lac Guéret Extensions Graphite Project, Quebec

• The Mason Graphite GC Zone is one of the highest grade graphite deposits in the world.

• The GC Zone contains NI43-101 Proven+Probable Mineral Reserves of 62.875MT grading 17.2% Cg (=10.8MT Graphite) in an open pit configuration. The surface area has been defined over 1200m by up to 240m wide

• The November 2015 Feasibility Study indicates robust economics with capital costs of C$165.9M, after tax NPV(8%) of C$352M, IRR of 34.3%, payback of 2.6 years and 25 year mine life with significant upside to expand resources

• The zone is marked by strong electromagnetic (“EM”) geophysical anomalies

Airborne Geophysical Survey (MAG-EM)

*The high-resolution geophysical survey, comprising 415 linear kilometres with a line spacing of 200 metres, was conducted by Prospectair Geosurveys Inc. of Gatineau, Quebec. The results were processed and interpreted by Joël Dubé, Engineer and senior geophysical consultant for Dubé & Desaulniers Geoscience of Ottawa, Ontario.

Lac Guéret Extensions Graphite Project, Quebec

• In 2014 Berkwood flew a high resolution magnetic-electromagnetic (MAG-EM) airborne geophysical survey* over its Lac Guéret South Block which successfully identified several large EM anomalous zones

• These EM anomalies are similar to

those over the graphite zones at Mason Graphite

• Initial interpretation and ground

investigation indicates the anomalies are likely caused by repetition and thickening of conductive, probably graphitic, horizons

• Two strong EM conductors, Zone 1

and Zone 2 were chosen for follow up ground exploration (see next slide)

Lac Guéret Extensions Graphite Project, Quebec

• In January 2016, Berkwood announced results of a follow up ground geophysics survey* to ground truth and better delineate the airborne geophysics anomalies on its Lac Guéret South Block . Highlights of the survey results were:

• Zone 1 is characterized by two individual limbs over 2,000 meters long and 50 meters to 600 meters in width. The western part of this zone is now better delineated over an apparent 800m length and up to a 300m width. This western area is interpreted as a potential bulk graphite zone interlayered within the hinge of a complex fold.

• Zone 2 consists of two parallel east-west anomaly limbs with the main anomaly limb measuring 1,000 meters in length and 60 meters in width and located along strike of Mason Graphite’s GC Zone.

• Both anomalies are similar in strength and occur in the same geological units as the Mason Graphite zones

Ground Geophysics Survey (MAG-EM)

*A total of 30.67 line kilometers of PhiSpy TDEM (time domain electromagnetic), 38.56 line kilometers of Magnetic and 1.15 line kilometer of VLF-EM ground surveying was completed with nearly-continuous (<0.5 meter spacing) readings on Zones 1, 2 & 4 along north-south lines variably spaced 50, 100 and 200 meters apart..The results were processed and interpreted by Joël Dubé, Engineer and senior geophysical consultant for Dubé & Desaulniers Geoscience of Ottawa, Ontario. Zone 4 did not produce significant results.

Toco Gold Project Summary 2,400 Ha - 45 claims in two blocks.

Located in North-central Quebec, 320 km north of Chibougamau city.

Part of Plan Nord region, Quebec’s highly regarded sustainable development initiative

Easy access via new all season road.

Adjacent to and south of Visible Gold Mines’ Project 167.

In 2014 Visible Gold Mines discovered high-grade Au-Ag-Cu-Zn boulders along the newly constructed 243-kilometre-long all-season road to Stornoway's Renard diamond mine (see Visible Gold Mines Inc. news release dated Nov. 4, 2014)

Regional Projects Some of the mineralized boulders discovered at Visible Gold Mines’ Project 167 were located 5 to 7km

north of Berkwood’s Toco Gold Project. Berkwood has no exploration plans for the Toco Project at this time

Future Plans Corporate:

With recent changes in senior management, Berkwood is now seeking new business opportunities to rebuild the company

Lac Guéret Extensions Graphite Project (Quebec):

Trenching and drilling is planned, subject to financing, to test the bulk tonnage graphite potential of the Zone 1 and Zone 2 anomalies
