This Presentation includes certain "forward-looking statements" which are not comprised of historical facts. Forward-looking statements include estimates and statements that describe Rockcliff Copper Corporation’s future plans, objectives or goals, including words to the effect that Rockcliff Copper Corporation or management expects a stated condition or result to occur. Forward-looking statements may be identified by such terms as “believes”, “anticipates”, “expects”, “estimates”, “may”, “could”, “would”, “will”, or “plan”. Since forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Although these statements are based on information currently available to Rockcliff Copper Corporation, Rockcliff Copper Corporation provides no assurance that actual results will meet management’s expectations. Risks, uncertainties and other factors involved with forward-looking information could cause actual events, results, performance, prospects and opportunities to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. Forward looking information in this Presentation includes, but is not limited to, Rockcliff Copper Corporation’s objectives, goals or future plans, statements, exploration results, potential mineralization, the estimation of mineral resources, exploration and mine development plans, successful exploration results, successful categorization of mineral resources into mineral reserves, successful development of a feasibility study, timing of the commencement of operations and estimates of market conditions. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking information include, but are not limited to failure to identify mineral resources, failure to convert estimated mineral resources to reserves, the inability to complete a feasibility study which recommends a production decision, the preliminary nature of metallurgical test results, delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other project approvals, political risks, inability to fulfill the duty to accommodate First Nations and other indigenous peoples if potential issues arise, uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future, changes in equity markets, inflation, changes in exchange rates, fluctuations in commodity prices, delays in the development of projects, capital and operating costs varying significantly from estimates and the other risks involved in the mineral exploration and development industry, and those risks set out in Rockcliff Copper Corp.’s public documents filed on SEDAR. Although Rockcliff Copper Corporation believes that the assumptions and factors used in preparing the forward-looking information in this Presentation are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on such information, which only applies as of the date of this news release, and no assurance can be given that such events will occur in the disclosed time frames or at all. Rockcliff Copper Corporation disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, other than as required by law.

Cautionary Note to Investors Concerning Estimates of Historical, Inferred and Indicated Resources This presentation uses the terms Historical, Inferred and Indicated Resources. Investors (Canadian and U.S.) are advised that while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. Historical and Inferred Resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an historical or Inferred Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Historical and Inferred Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. Both U.S. and Canadian investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of Historical, Inferred or Indicated Resources will ever be converted into Reserves and will become upgraded into an economically or legally mineable deposit. Neither Rockcliff Copper Corporation nor its Qualified Persons have done sufficient work to classify the historic estimates in this presentation as current mineral resources under current mineral resource or mineral reserve terminology and are not treating the historic estimates as current mineral resources. The resources in this presentation should not be relied upon.

Ken Lapierre P.Geo., President and CEO of Rockcliff Copper Corporation, a Qualified Person in accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements as set out in NI 43-101, has read and approved the scientific and technical information that forms the basis for the disclosure contained in this presentation.

ROCKCLIFF’S SNOW LAKE RESOURCES High Grade Resources In One Mining Camp

*The Talbot report completed by RPA dated January 26, 2016 and press released February 3, 2016. CIM definitions were followed, 2.0% copper cut-off was used with US$3.50

copper, US$1450 gold, US$1.25 zinc and US$22 silver. Metal recovery for copper was 95%, gold at 70%, zinc at 85% and Silver at 65%. Mineral Resources are not Mineral

Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic value. **The Rail Deposit report completed by SRK Consulting dated December 19, 2012 and press released December 21,

2010. CIM definitions were followed, 2.0% copper cut-off was used with US$3.00 per pound and a metal recovery of 80% without considering revenues from other metals. Mineral

Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not demonstrate economic viability. ***The Tower (T-1) deposit report completed by CCIC Inc. dated January 20, 2013 and press

released December 6, 2012. CIM definitions were followed, 0.5% copper cut-off was used using US$3.63 per pound. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have

demonstrated economic value.****The Lon, Bur, Morgan and MacBride deposits are historical deposits. The reader may refer to the Lon deposit press released October 31, 2007

and the Bur deposit press released September 29, 2016 and the Morgan deposit press released November 22, 2016 and the MacBride deposit press released December 1, 2016.

An internal report was completed by Granges Inc. in 1993 for the Lon deposit, Manitoba Government reports in the 1990s for the Morgan deposit and an internal report by Knobby

Lake Mines in 1977 for the MacBride deposit, however not all of the parameters used, assumptions made and methods used to prepare the historic estimates are not known at this

time. A public report was completed by Hudbay in 2007 and filed on SEDAR for the Bur deposit. Its parameters are known. Additional drilling would be required to upgrade all

historical resources to a current Mineral Resource as the historic information does not satisfy the requirements set out by NI 43-101. Neither Rockcliff Copper nor its Qualified

Persons have done sufficient work to classify the historic estimates as current Mineral Resources and are not treating the historical estimates as a current Mineral Resource. The

reader is cautioned that the Lon, Bur, Morgan and MacBride historical resources should not be relied upon as they do not satisfy current Mineral Resource or Mineral Reserve

terminology. *****Copper and Zinc equivalent grades were estimated for historical resources using US$2.35 copper, US$1300 gold, US$1.15 zinc and US$20 silver for the Bur

deposit and US$2.50 copper, US$1300 gold, US$1.15 zinc and US$20 silver for the Lon, Morgan and MacBride deposits.
