All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-‐looking statements. Forward-‐looking statements are frequently, but not always, idenJfied by words such as “plans”, “expects”, “anJcipates”, “believes”, “intends”, “esJmates”, “potenJal”, “possible” and similar expressions, or statements that events, condiJons or results “will”, “may”, “could”, or “should” occur or be achieved. Forward-‐looking statements contained in this presentaJon include statements with respect to: expectaJons regarding the potenJal mineralizaJon and geological merits of the Company’s projects, including the Karakul Project and the Werner Lake Project; the Company’s goals regarding development of the Karakul Project and regarding raising capital and conducJng further exploraJon and development of its projects; the Company’s proposed plans for advancing its projects, including drilling and other exploraJon work; expectaJons regarding the conJnuity of mineral deposits, including in relaJon to adjacent or other properJes (including producing or past-‐producing properJes) that are in the vicinity or same region as the Company’s projects; expectaJons regarding any environmental issues that may affect planned or future exploitaJon and exploraJon programs; mineral exploitaJon and exploraJon program cost esJmates; statements with respect to the future price of cobalt and other metals; Jming and compleJon of geological studies and reports; receipt and Jming of the necessary exploitaJon permits and other third party approvals; and government regulaJon of mineral exploraJon and development operaJons in Russia. EsJmates of mineral resources and mineral reserves may also consJtute forward-‐looking statements and informaJon in that they represent esJmates of mineralizaJon that may be encountered if mining is commenced, and/or economic viability of such mineralizaJon. Forward-‐looking statements involve various risks and uncertainJes. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anJcipated in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectaJons include the uncertainJes involving the need for addiJonal financing to explore and develop properJes and availability of financing in the debt and capital markets; uncertainJes involved in the interpretaJon of drilling results and geological tests and the esJmaJon of reserves and resources; the need for cooperaJon of government agencies and naJve groups in the development and operaJon of properJes; the need to obtain permits and governmental approvals; risks of construcJon and mining projects such as accidents, equipment breakdowns, bad weather, non-‐compliance with environmental and permit requirements, unanJcipated variaJon in geological structures, ore grades or recovery rates; unexpected cost increases; fluctuaJons in metal prices and currency exchange rates; the impact of economic sancJons on companies conducJng business in Russia; and other risk and uncertainJes disclosed in reports and documents filed by the Company with applicable securiJes regulatory authoriJes from Jme to Jme. The forward-‐looking statements made herein reflect the Company’s beliefs, opinions and projecJons on the date the statements are made. Except as required by law, the Company assumes no obligaJon to update the forward-‐looking statements of beliefs, opinions, projecJons, or other factors, should they change. Regarding Historical Resources Note that the C1 and C2 resource esJmates shown are historical in nature and do not use categories defined in Canadian NaJonal Instrument 43-‐101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-‐101”) and accordingly are not compliant with NI 43-‐101 or Canadian InsJtute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) standards. [The exact date of these es=mates is unknown]. Historical resource esJmates are based on the Russian reserve system and based primarily on trench and prospecJng samples only. These resources are considered historical in nature under NI 43-‐101 and a qualified person under NI 43-‐101 has not done sufficient work to classify the historical esJmate as current mineral resources. The Company is not treaJng the historical esJmate as current mineral resources. Regarding Mineral Reserve and Resource Es=mates Unless otherwise indicated, all reserve and resource esJmates included in this presentaJon have been prepared in accordance with NI 43-‐101 and CIM standards. Canadian standards, including NI 43-‐101, differ significantly from the requirements of the United States SecuriJes and Exchange Commissions , and reserve and resource informaJon in this presentaJon may not be comparable to similar informaJon disclosed by U.S. companies. In parJcular, and without limiJng the generality of the foregoing, the term “resource” does not equate to the term “‘reserves”. Under U.S. standards, mineralizaJon may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determinaJon has been made that the mineralizaJon could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the Jme the reserve determinaJon is made. Qualified Person Mr. Paul Sarjeant, P. Geo., is a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-‐101. Mr. Sarjeant is the Company’s Vice President ExploraJon, and, unless otherwise indicated, has prepared or supervised the preparaJon of the technical informaJon contained in this presentaJon and/or reviewed and approved such disclosure. For more informaJon, see the individual technical reports and news releases available under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com All monetary amounts in this presentaJon are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

A FOOTHOLD IN THE FAMED IDAHO COBALT BELT
• The Iron Creek project provides Global Cobalt with a foothold in the Idaho Cobalt Belt, the most prolific belt of cobalt mineralisaJon in the United States.
• Consists of seven patented mining claims of approximately 118 acres located in Lemhi County about 26 miles southwest of the town of Salmon, Idaho.
• Discovered in the 1940’s as a possible iron deposit, past work by previous operators idenJfied several zones of cobalt-‐copper mineralisaJon.
• Extensive drilling, sampling, and geologic work was completed on two of the most promising areas.
• Numerous other exploraJon targets have been idenJfied on the property that have yet to be fully evaluated.
“The addi)on of Iron Creek into our cobalt project por8olio is exci)ng and diversifies our project mix at a )me when cobalt is becoming increasingly important in the baAery sector.”

IRON CREEK PROJECTHIGHLIGHTS
• The Iron Creek project provides Global Cobalt with a foothold in the Idaho Cobalt Belt, the most prolific belt of cobalt mineralisaJon in the United States.
• Approximately 30,000 feet of diamond drilling and 1,500 feet of underground driying has been completed exploring the project by previous operators.
• Historic literature defines "two disJnct lenses of cobalt mineralizaJon." • The first lens esJmated to contain 1,050,000 tons grading 0.61% cobalt and
0.3% copper and having a strike length of about 750 feet. • A second lens of high-‐grade cobalt mineralizaJon of 229,000 tons extends
for 600 feet of strike length, is deeper than the first lens, and averages about 0.48% Co and 0.24% Cu.
• Historic met work indicates that the project has low arsenic levels that disJnguishes the project from others in the belt • A posiJve as it make potenJal process handling easier and less costly
