Safe Harbor Statement

This document, and certain reports referred to in this document and filed on our company’s website and the SEDAR site maintained by the Canadian Securities Regulators, have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of securities laws in effect in the United States. Without limiting the foregoing, this document and the reports referred to herein use the terms “indicated” and “inferred” resources. Investors are advised that, while such terms are recognized and at times required by Canadian securities laws, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) does not recognize them. Under current United States standards, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. The Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) defines a mineral reserve as the economically mineable part of a measured or indicated mineral resource as demonstrated by at least a preliminary feasibility study that includes adequate information on mining, processing, metallurgical, economic and other relevant factors that demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that economic extraction can be justified. The terms measured resource, indicated resource and related terms are also defined by CIM. As we have not done a preliminary feasibility study, we have not determined whether any of our properties contains a mineral reserve. Before we can evaluate whether any mineral reserve exists on any of our properties, we will be required to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies. There is a risk that none of our properties contains a mineral reserve.

Safe Harbor Statement

Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated resources will ever be converted

into reserves. Further, “inferred resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to

whether they can be mined legally or economically. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of the “inferred

resources” will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Therefore, investors are also cautioned not to assume that

all or any part of the inferred resources exist, or that they can be mined legally or economically. Disclosure of

“contained ounces” is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC only permits issuers to

report “resources” as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. Accordingly, information

concerning descriptions of mineralization and resources contained in this document, or in the reports incorporated

by reference, may not be comparable to information made public by United States companies subject to the

reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC. National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral

Projects (“NI 43-101”) is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for

all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. Unless

otherwise indicated, all resource estimates contained in this document or the reports referred to herein have been

prepared in accordance with NI 43-101. These standards differ significantly from the requirements of the SEC, and

resource information contained herein or in the reports referred to herein may not be comparable to similar

information disclosed by U.S. companies.

Western Magnesium 6

Corporate SummaryOur proprietary technology will make us the

premier low-costing producer of green primary

magnesium metal in the world.

Global Pain

• Controlled World Production: 1M metric tonnes.

• Limited Supply: outweighed by high demand from

auto, aerospace, airline, electronic, government…

• Batch Processing: not continuous, leaving end

users to scramble for supply.

• Toxic Extraction: labor intensive and unsafe

working conditions while emitting pollutants into the

environment.

• Monopoly Issues: i) supply chain, ii) national

security, iii) economic security, iv) sustainability, v)

environment, & vi) North American job elimination.

Magnesium HighlightsThe Metal

For over a century, magnesium metal has been

coveted by the industrial manufacturing industry.

Magnesium is an abundant metal comprising about

2% of the earth’s crust alone. While there are plentiful

reserves in America, supply is limited due to a lack of

research into faster, more efficient, safer and cleaner

magnesium production processes & technologies.

The Opportunity

Our proprietary technology will utilize a continuous

silicothermic process to produce magnesium metal

achieved with low labor, high automation, & low

energy consumption while generating zero toxic by-

products and waste. The heart of our business is a

proprietary technology from 10 years of stealth R&D.

Our technical team consists of global authorities in

magnesium production, research, and academic

space.
