Statements contained in this presentation involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements in this presentation include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the merits of the Company's mineral properties and the Company's plans, exploration programs and studies for its mineral properties, including the timing of such plans, programs and studies. In certain cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "has proven", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "potential", "appears", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "at least", "intends", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "believes", or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "should", "might" or "will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved".
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such risks and other factors include, among others, risks related to uncertainties inherent in the estimation of mineral resources; Company’s ability to finance exploration works and expenditures sufficient to fulfil all option requirements and covenants set forth in the option agreement pertaining to its mineral properties; fluctuation in uranium prices; changes in general economic and market conditions; the Company's ability to continue as a going concern; the Company's ability to raise funds through equity financings; risks inherent in mineral exploration; and other risks of the mining industry; delays in obtaining governmental approvals; government regulation of mining operations; environmental risks; and title disputes or claims. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could affect the Company and may cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, do not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. All statements are made as of the date of this presentation and the Company is under no obligation to update or alter any forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable, including expectations regarding mineral exploration costs; expected trends in uranium prices and demand; that there will be no material adverse change affecting the Company or its properties; that all required approvals will be obtained and that there will be no significant disruptions affecting the Company or its properties.
Certain technical information in this presentation was taken from technical reports, prepared by Roscoe Postle Associates Inc., and is subject to all of the assumptions, qualifications and procedures described therein.
Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that the mineral resources will be categorized as mineral reserves.
Jonathan Lafontaine, P.Geo., President, SeqUr Exploration Inc., is the Qualified Person who supervised the preparation of the technical data in this presentation.

Who we are
Spin off company created from Strateco Resources• Strateco advanced the Matoush uranium exploration project in the Otish
sedimentary basin in Quebec to an underground exploration phase• Matoush Project went from an odd uraniferous surface showing with no
resources in 2006 to 12+ Mlbs of indicated resources and 16+ Mlbs in inferred resources in Dec 2012
• Strateco’s technical and administrative staff is qualified to pursue advanced underground exploration and obtained the first such licence accorded to a junior company by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
• Currently the Matoush project is suspended by provincial jurisdiction• SeqUr is meant to be a vehicle whereas Strateco’s technical team will become the
foundation of a new endeavour in uranium exploration

Our Strategy
Our strategy is to focus on exploring and developing uranium projects:
• Uranium is a unique and niche commodity with a limited number of knowledgeable and experienced companies
• Our technical staff has not only shown that it has a proven track record of understanding the geological aspects of exploration and add value to these projects, but has a reputation of advancing these projects to the next level
• Our strategy is to concentrate our resources and efforts on building a promising property portfolio in known pro-mining jurisdictions

Reasons to invest in uranium exploration
Generalized increase in demand for low-carbon electricity production throughout the worldRelatively stable and predictable nuclear power demand is a key economic factor
Nuclear power plants operating safely and further deployement scheduled all around the worldAccording to World Nuclear Association *:
• 435 plants currently operational (30 countries)• 72 reactors under construction (14 countries)• 174 reactors currently planned (26 countries)• 299 reactors currently proposed (35 countries)
Economic forecasts indicate strong uranium demand increaseForecasts of 50- 88% uranium demand increase by 2030*Strong lag (10-15%) of supply with respect to demand to be expected **
Stimulating new discoveries and developmentLimited number of recent discoveries that are on track for production
(*World Nuclear Association: world-nuclear.org)(**Internal studies of uranium markets)
