    entirety by this cautionary statement. The forward‐looking statements included in this presentation are made as of the date of this presentation and the Corporation does not undertake and is not obligated to publicly update such forward‐looking statements to reflect new information, subsequent events or otherwise unless so required by applicable securities laws.This Presentation contains information regarding mineral resources estimated at the projects of the Corporation referenced herein.  Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.  The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, socio‐political, marketing or other relevant issues.  In particular, quantity and grade of reported inferred mineral resources in the estimates referenced in this Presentation are uncertain in nature and there is insufficient exploration to defined these inferred mineral resources as an indicated or measured mineral resource in all cases.  It is uncertain in all cases whether further exploration will result in upgrading the inferred mineral resources to an indicated or measured mineral resource category..For details regarding the key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate the mineral resources referenced herein please see the technical reports titled "MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE AND PRELIMINARY ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT FOR THE SANDTOWN PROPERTY, CAVE CITY, ARKANSAS" dated 30 JUNE 2015 and titled "Updated Technical Report for the Sandtown Project, Cave City, Arkansas" dated March 21, 2016, each filed on SEDAR under the Corporation's profile.Cautionary Note: Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability and there is no certainty that the Corporation's preliminary economic assessment will be realized. The Company advises that the production decision on the Sandtown deposit made by the Corporation was not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves, demonstrating economic and technical viability, and, as a result, there may be an increased uncertainty of achieving any particular level of recovery of minerals or the cost of such recovery, including increased risks associated with developing a commercially mineable deposit. Historically, such projects have a much higher risk of economic and technical failure. There is no guarantee that production will occur as anticipated or that anticipated production costs will be achieved. The Company further cautions that it’s previously disclosed preliminary economic assessment is preliminary in nature. No mining study has been completed. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized.Elliott A. Mallard, PG of Kleinfelder is the qualified person as per the National Instrument 43‐101 ("NI 43‐101") and has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information contained in this Presentation

    OPERATIONS OVERVIEW

    Hottest Commodity in Oil Patch

    “…frac sand industry, where we expect demand to grow by 80% in 2017 – the highest growth among all oil services sub-sectors.”

    Goldman Sachs June, 2016

    “…higher concentration of 40/70 and 100 mesh product, this is a potential windfall for southern mines while a potential headwind for select northern mines who tend to produce a greater relative volume of coarse product

    Simmons and Company June, 2016

    Currently trading at below $3/ton of inground reserve estimates while being geographically closer that Northern sources to Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma O&G fields.

    Average sand consumption increased from 2,000 tons per well (Q1 2012) to 4,000 tons per well (Q1 2016) (Source: IHS)

    Acquisition of Ozark Premium Sand completed in late December, 2016. Currently producing and shipping to industrial and O&G customers (trucking and rail)

    Attractive Value Proposition

    Attractive upside

    Owned and OperationalProcessing Facilities

    Growing frac intensities & potential tight markets

    We produce what is in high demand

    Current annual run rate capacity of 600k tons expandable to over 1MM tons. Bell Farm has 49.6MM tons of Inferred Resources (see press release April 13, 2017)

    We produce what is in high demand

    Fine grades of sand (40/70 and 100 mesh) account for 80% of the frac sand market in US.Wisconsin and Illinois account for 62% of installed frac sand capacity in North America
