Forward Looking Statements

June 2021

Certain statements in this presentation are forward-looking statements, which reflect the expectations of management regarding thebusiness development objectives and plans of Talisker Resources Ltd. (“Talisker” or the“Company”).

Forward-looking information contained in this presentation are based on certain factors and assumptions regarding, among other things, thereceipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, availability of necessary financing, potential mineralization on the properties proposed to beacquired, and other similar matters. While Talisker considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently availableto it, they may prove to be incorrect. Forward looking information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors whichmay cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievementsexpressed or implied by the forward-looking information. Such factors include risks inherent in the exploration and development of mineraldeposits, including risks relating to changes in project parameters as plans continue to be redefined, risks relating to variations in grade orrecovery rates, risks relating to changes in mineral prices and the worldwide demand for and supply of minerals, risks related to increasedcompetition and current global financial conditions, access and supply risks, reliance on key personnel, operational risks regulatory risks,including risks relating to the acquisition of the necessary licenses and permits, financing, capitalization and liquidity risks, title andenvironmental risks and risks relating to the failure to receive all requisite shareholder and regulatory approvals.

Further, these forward looking statements reflect management’s current views and are based on certain expectations, estimates andassumptions which may prove to be incorrect. A number of risks and uncertainties could cause the Company’s actual results to differmaterially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including: (1) a downturn in general economic conditions inNorth America and internationally, (2) the inherent uncertainties and speculative nature associated with gold exploration, (3) a decreaseddemand for gold, (4) any number of events or causes which may delay exploration and development of the Company’s property interests,such as environmental liabilities, weather, mechanical failures, safety concerns and labour problems, (5) the risk that the Company does notexecute its business plan, (6) inability to finance operations and growth, (7) inability to obtain all necessary permitting and financing, and (8)other factors beyond the Company’s control.

Additional information about Talisker and these and other assumptions, risks and uncertainties is available on SEDAR under the publicfilings of Talisker available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Any Resources, Reserves or other estimates as to the volume of mineralized rockcontained herein are historical estimates and were completed prior to the implementation of NI 43-101 unless expressly stated. Sufficientwork to classify the historic mineral resource as a current mineral resource has not been completed. Hence, the resource estimate shouldnot be relied upon.

Hit t ing the Ground Running…

June 2021 5

Significant Achievements Since Listing:• Since December 2019

• Validated Historic data and geological model at Bralorne

• Commenced resource drilling program (currently 4 Drill Rigs)

• Discovered near-surface bulk tonnage potential (Charlotte Zone)

• Signed agreements with local stakeholders• Identified 4 drill-ready Greenfields gold targets

(Golden Hornet, Nova, Cyclone, Dora)

Page 6: CorporatePresentation June2021

Clear Pathway to Rapid Growth

June 2021 6

Only the beginning with major milestones ahead• 2021/early-2022:

• Complete Stage 1 of resource drill-out (100,000m).• Deliver compliant resource estimate for Bralorne in

2022.• Drill test 4 gold targets in Spences Bridge (Beginning

April).• Develop world class project pipeline in highly

prospective gold belt – over 100 anomalies (Ongoing).
