Press Release Companion PresentationOctober 16 , 2017
This presentation contains projections and forward looking information that involvevarious risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, statements regarding thepotential extent of mineralization, resources, reserves, exploration results and plans andobjectives of North Arrow Minerals Inc. These risks and uncertainties include, but arenot restricted to, the amount of geological data available, the uncertain reliability ofdrilling results and geophysical and geological data and the interpretation thereof andthe need for adequate financing for future exploration and development efforts. Therecan be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate. Actual results andfuture events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Theseand all subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements are based on theestimates and opinions of management on the dates they are made and are expresslyqualified in their entirety by this notice. The Company assumes no obligation to updateforward looking statements should circumstances or management's estimates oropinions change.

7,500 hectares on the Melville Peninsula.
18 km from ocean; 140 km south of Hall Beach; 210 km northeast of Naujaat.
Acquired in 2013, NAR exploring for the last 4 years; 1 to 6 days every summer; total spend to discovery ~$800,000.
Exploration camp and drilling permits are in place for 2018; additional staking currently underway.

MEL PROJECT – WHAT’S NEXT
1. Additional staking underway to expand project area.
2. Drill & camp mobilized in spring 2018 for geophysics & drilling in the spring/summer.
3. All exploration permits are in place for 2018 exploration.
4. Detailed study of quaternary geology to aid in interpretation of unsourced KIM trains.
5. Full petrologic characterization of ML-8 kimberlite is underway & evaluation of the composition and abundance of KIMs for comparison against the project till database.
6. 2018 till sampling of expanded project area.
