Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-looking Information

This presentation contains certain information that may constitute forward-looking information under applicable Canadian and U.S.securities legislation, including but not limited to information about current expectations on the timing, extent and success of exploration,development and metallurgical sampling activities, the timing and success of mining operations, the optimization of mine plans, millingactivity at the PL Mill, the timing and completion of updated mineral resource and reserve estimates in respect of the PL and Nokomisdeposits, the Company's intention and ability to monetize mineralized material, project development and related permitting, the financialcondition of Minnova and the ability of Minnova to finance exploration and development funding requirements and the ability of Minnovato meet forecast production and cost targets. This forward-looking information entails various risks and uncertainties that are based oncurrent expectations, and actual results may differ materially from those contained in such information. These uncertainties and risksinclude, but are not limited to, the strength of the global economy; the price of gold; operational, funding and liquidity risks; the degree towhich mineral resource estimates are reflective of actual mineral resources; the degree to which factors which would make a mineraldeposit commercially viable are present; the risks and hazards associated with underground operations; and the ability of Minnova to fundits substantial capital requirements and operations. Risks and uncertainties about the Company’s business are more fully discussed in theCompany’s disclosure materials filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada which are available at www.sedar.com. Readersare urged to read these materials. Minnova assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking information or to update the reasonswhy actual results could differ from such information unless required by law.

Commercial Equipment Selection CriteriaSmall size (ULP/XLP) equipment to achieve:

• minimal mine openings

• targeted narrow stope heights

• safely and efficiently in moving ore out of the stope

Electric/battery powered to:

• capitalize on Manitoba’s low industrial power costs

Proven operational performance:

• emphasis on equipment used in comparable shallow dipping-narrow vein mine settings

Other considerations:

• maintenance and safety factors

• operate remotely/autonomously

Future Exploration and Development Plans

Exploration and Infill Drilling Program Resource Conversion and Expansion

• PL and Nokomis deposits still open down dip/on strike• 10,000 meter program underway January 2017

Test Regional Exploration Potential• Initially target mine area exploration targets• Numerous structural and geophysical targets remain untested• Historic data review /compilation highlights untested potential• Belt has not been extensively explored for gold and exploration focus will expand

DevelopmentPre-Feasibility Study Q2/2017 – Feasibility Study Fall 2017

• Update resource to Measured and indicated 0 to 150m• Target Reduced Mining Widths to Achieve Higher Mill Head Grade• Current mine plan forecasts a mill head of 7.2 g/t based on conservative 2 m minimum

mining width (diluted)• Feasibility Study consisting of underground test mining and bulk sampling program

summer 2017• Targeting use of proven ULP and XLP equipment to potential reduce diluted mining widths

to between 1 and 1.5 m• NEW metallurgy test work to optimize gravity circuit and overall process flow sheet –

targeting increased gold recoveries of over 90%

Any of the Above Initiatives can Support Significant Value Appreciation
