Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements and/or graphics in the Company’s press releases, web site information and corporate displays, among others, constitute

“forward-looking statements”. These statements are based on information currently available to the Company and the Company provides no

assurance that actual results will meet management’s expectations. Forward-looking statements include estimates and statements that describe

the Company’s future plans, objectives or goals, including words to the effect that the Company or management expects a stated condition or

result to occur. Forward-looking statements may be identified by terms such as “believes”, “anticipates”, “expects”, “estimates”, “may”, “could”,

“would”, “will”, or “plan”, or their conditional or future forms. Since forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and address future

events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties.

Actual results relating to, among other things, results of exploration, project development, reclamation and capital costs of the Company’s

mineral properties, and the Company’s financial condition and prospects, could differ materially from those currently anticipated in such

statements for many reasons such as: changes in general economic conditions and conditions in the financial markets; changes in demand and

prices for minerals; litigation, legislative, environmental and other judicial, regulatory, political and competitive developments; technological and

operational difficulties encountered in connection with the activities of the Company; and other matters discussed in this presentation. This list is

not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the Company’s forward-looking statements. These and other factors should be considered

carefully and readers should not place undue reliance on the Company’s forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake to

update any forward looking statement that may be made from time to time by the Company or on its behalf, except if required to do so by

applicable securities laws. You are cautioned not to place any undue reliance on any forward-looking statement.

Forward-looking statements or information related to Exploration.

Relating to exploration, the identification of exploration targets and any implied future investigation of such targets on the basis of specific

geological, geochemical and geophysical evidence or trends are future-looking and subject to a variety of possible outcomes which may or may

not include the discovery, or extension, or termination of mineralization. Further, areas around known mineralized intersections or surface

showings may be marked by wording such as “open”, “untested”, “possible extension” or “exploration potential” or by symbols such as “?”. Such

wording or symbols should not be construed as a certainty that mineralization continues or that the character of mineralization (e.g. grade or

thickness) will remain consistent from a known and measured data point. The key risks related to exploration in general are that chances of

identifying economical reserves are extremely small.

The presentation contains historical exploration data that have not been verified by Crystal Exploration Inc. and may not be accurate or

complete, and therefore the information should not be relied upon.

The technical content of this presentation have been reviewed and approved by Dean Besserer, P.Geol., the Technical Advisor of the Company

and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

Lupin Ore Body▪ Lupin ore body occurs within Archean metasediments of

the central Slave Geologic Province

▪ Gold mineralization hosted along the margins of quartz

veins, faults and fractures related to D3 deformation

within amphibolitic banded iron formation

DIAMOND FUNDAMENTALS – DEMAND VERSUS SUPPLY

Strong Fundamentals

▪ Prices increasing since 2004

▪ Growth in diamond demand will

require new mines

▪ Rough diamond demand growth is

at 4-5% annualized rate

▪ Demand - supply gap widens

significantly in 2019

▪ Rough diamond demand fuelled

by US, China & India

▪ No major new mines within the

last 20 years EXCEPT Canada

Diamond Opportunity

▪ Growing demand

▪ Diamond supply shortfall

▪ Project pipeline deficienciesSource: Bain Consulting 2016
