FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT
2TSXV:FOM
This presentation contains "forward-looking information" (also referred to as"forward looking statements") which may include, but are not limited to,statements with respect to the future financial or operating performance ofthe Company, its subsidiaries and its projects, statements regarding theTechnical Services Agreement, if a feasibility study will suggest aneconomically viable project, estimation of mineral resources, explorationresults, and potential mineralization, the future price of metals, therealization of mineral reserve estimates, costs and timing of futureexploration, the timing of the development of new deposits, requirementsfor additional capital, foreign exchange risk, government regulation ofmining and exploration operations, environmental risks, reclamationexpenses, title disputes or claims, insurance coverage and regulatory matters.Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by theuse of words such as "plans", "hopes", "expects", "is expected", "budget","scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", or "believes" orvariations (including negative variations) of such words and phrases, or statethat certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or"will" be taken, occur or be achieved.
Forward-looking information involves and is subject to known and unknownrisks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results,performance or achievements of the Company and/or its subsidiaries to bematerially different from any future results, performance or achievementsexpressed or implied by the forward-looking information. Such factorsinclude, among others, general business, economic, competitive, politicaland social uncertainties; the actual results of current exploration activitiesand feasibility studies; assumptions in economic evaluations which prove tobe inaccurate; fluctuations in the value of the United States dollar and theCanadian dollar relative to each other; future prices of metals; possiblevariations of ore grade or recovery rates; accidents, labour disputes or slowdowns and other risks of the mining industry; climatic conditions; politicalinstability, insurrection or war; arbitrary decisions by governmentalauthorities; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or inthe completion of development or construction activities.
Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors thatcould cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from thosedescribed in forward-looking information, there may be other factors thatcause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated orintended. Forward-looking information contained herein is made as of thedate of this presentation and the Company disclaims any obligation toupdate any forward-looking information, whether as a result of newinformation, future events or results or otherwise. There can be no assurancethat forward-looking information or statements will prove to be accurate, asactual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipatedin such information or statements. Accordingly, readers should not placeundue reliance on forward-looking statements.
Mr. Roger March (B.Sc. (Hons.), P. Geo), VP Project Exploration for theCompany, is a Qualified Person as defined in National Instrument 43-101and has reviewed the disclosure of technical and scientific materialscontained in this presentation.
McIlvenna Bay has all the elements for success. As globaldemand for zinc and copper continues to increase, projects likeMcIlvenna Bay will be in the spotlight. Projects in jurisdictionsthat understand the importance of mining, managed by keenprofessionals committed to progress, and growing responsiblyand safely.

The McIlvenna Bay Property hosts known deposits and highlyprospective targets for exploration. In addition to the depositsMcIlvenna Bay and Bigstone, our team has made discoveries atTarget A and Thunder Zone. The 2018 feasibility drill programalso revealed interesting mineralization in the Hanging Wall ofMcIlvenna Bay worthy of more investigation.

McILVENNA BAY1 Effective date January 1, 2013; CIM definitionswere followed for Mineral Resources; CuEq =copper equivalent; ZnEq = zinc equivalent; NSR= Net Smelter Return.
2 The base case mineral resource is estimatedbased on 178 diamond drill holes and a NSRcut-off grade of US$60/t. NSR grades werecalculated and high grade caps were applied asper the discussion in Estimation Methodologyand Parameters below and include provisionsfor metallurgical recovery and estimates ofcurrent shipping terms and smelter rates forsimilar concentrates. Metal prices used areUS$3.25/lb. Cu, US$1.10/lb. Zn, US$1,400/oz. Au,and US$25/oz. Ag. Specific gravity wasinterpolated for each block based onmeasurements taken from core specimens.
3 Mr. David Rennie, P.Eng., of RPA, prepared thismineral resource estimate. Mr. Rennie isindependent of Foran and is a “QualifiedPerson” within the meaning of NI 43-101.
4Mineral resources which are not mineral reservesdo not have demonstrated economic viability.The estimate of mineral resources may bematerially affected by environmental,permitting, legal, marketing or other issues.
5 CuEq and ZnEq values were estimated based on$53.94 per % Cu, $8.11 per % Zn, $31.16 per g/tAu and $0.03 per g/t Ag.
