Forward-Looking Information
This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements that reflect the current views and/or expectations of Group Ten Metals Inc. (the “Company” or “Group Ten Metals”) with respect toits business and future events including statements regarding its exploration plans and the Company’s expectations respecting future exploration results, the markets for the minerals underlyingthe Company’ projects, and growth strategies. Forward-looking statements are based on the then-current expectations, beliefs, assumptions, estimates and forecasts about the business and themarkets in which the Company operates. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including: the inherent risks involved in the exploration anddevelopment of mineral properties, the uncertainties involved in interpreting drill results and other exploration data, the uncertainties respecting historical resource estimates, the potential fordelays in exploration or development activities, the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits, the possibility that future exploration, development or mining results will not be consistentwith the Company’s expectations, accidents, equipment breakdowns, title and permitting matters, labour disputes or other unanticipated difficulties with or interruptions in operations, fluctuatingmetal prices, unanticipated costs and expenses, uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future and regulatory restrictions, including environmental regulatoryrestrictions. These risks, as well as others, including those set forth in the Company’s filings with Canadian securities regulators, could cause actual results and events to vary significantly.Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and information. There can be no assurance that forward-looking information, or the material factors orassumptions used to develop such forward looking information, will prove to be accurate. The Company does not undertake any obligations to release publicly any revisions for updating anyvoluntary forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable securities law.
Technical Information
The scientific and technical information in this presentation has been reviewed by the following non-independent qualified persons (as defined in NI 43-101): (a) in respect of the Stillwater WestProject, Mike Ostensen, P. Geo., who is a Project Geologist of the Company; and (b) all other projects of Group Ten Metals, Debbie James, P. Geo, who is an independent consultant to theCompany.
Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. With respect to “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource”, there is a greatamount of uncertainty as to their existence and a great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of a “measured mineral resource”, “indicatedmineral resource” or “inferred mineral resource” will ever be upgraded to a higher category.
Cautionary Note to US Investors Regarding Resource Estimates
The terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource”, “inferred mineral resource” used herein are Canadian mining terms used in accordance with NI 43-101under the guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, asmay be amended from time to time. These definitions differ from the definitions in the United States Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Industry Guide 7. In the United States, a mineralreserve is defined as a part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time the mineral reserve determination is made. While the terms “mineralresource”, “measured mineral resource,” “indicated mineral resource”, and “inferred mineral resource” are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, they are not defined terms understandards in the United States and normally are not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. As such, information contained herein concerning descriptionsof mineralization and resources under Canadian standards may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies in SEC filings. Accordingly, information herein containingdescriptions of our mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by US companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under US federal securitieslaws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
Third-Party Information

THE METALLIC GROUP OF COMPANIESA Collaboration of Leading, Independent Exploration Companies
The Metallic Group Strategy and Approach to Business
• Highly experienced leadership with a track record of major discoveries andsignificant share ownership in the companies;
• Identify and acquire district-scale, brownfields properties adjacent to some ofthe industry’s highest-grade silver, platinum group metals, and copper mines,where we see the potential to host world-class deposits that have not beenpreviously recognized;
• Make acquisitions during the low part of the metal price cycle to aggregate high-potentialholdings and create fundamental, counter-cycle strategic value for shareholders;
• Focus on brownfields areas to facilitate the potential for major new discoveries, with infrastructurein place for rapid development timelines and reduced capital requirements compared to remotegreenfields deposits;
• Apply our systematic approach to exploration utilizing new technologies and exploration modelsfocused on large-scale discoveries; and
• Introduce these new opportunities to investors that share our long-term vision for value creationin the mining space.

Stillwater WestPriority Areas for Drilling
Drill data reported in news releases from Jan 25, 2019 through Jan 21, 2020. 2019 drilling by Group Ten. Drilling completed from 2002 through 2011 was verified by Group Ten’s QP. Pre-2001 drill results are considered historic and have not been independently verified by Group Ten. Grade thickness values for drill holes are shown for comparative purposes by multiplying mineralized intercepts times drilled width that are believed to be representative of true widths. Platinum equivalent (PtEq g/t) calculations reflect total gross metal content using $6/lb Ni, $3/lb Cu, $20/lb Co, $900/oz Pt, $1,400/oz Pd and $1,400/oz Au
Equivalent values have not been adjusted to reflect potential metallurgical recoveries.

Total Platinum Equivalent (TotPtEq g/t) and Total Nickel Equivalent (TotNiEq %) calculations reflect total gross metal content using metals prices as follows (all USD): $6.00/lb nickel (Ni), $3.00/lb copper (Cu), $20.00/lb cobalt (Co), $900/ozplatinum (Pt), $1,400/oz palladium (Pd), and $1,400/oz gold (Au). Values have not been adjusted to reflect metallurgical recoveries. Total metal equivalent values include both base and precious metals. Nickel equivalent values may be converted to copper equivalent values by multiplying the NiEq value by the price ratio of the two (ie times two per the above prices), such that 0.5% NiEq equates to 1.0% CuEq. Intervals are reported as drilled widths, and are believed to be representative of true widths.

Highlight intercepts with grade-thickness values over 100 gram-meter TotPtEq are presented above, except as noted. Total Platinum Equivalent (TotPtEq g/t) and Total Nickel Equivalent (TotNiEq %) calculations reflect total gross metal content using metals prices as follows (all USD): $6.00/lb nickel (Ni), $3.00/lb copper (Cu), $20.00/lb cobalt (Co), $900/oz platinum (Pt), $1,400/oz palladium (Pd), and $1,400/oz gold (Au). Values have not been adjusted to reflect metallurgical recoveries. Total metal equivalent values include both base and precious metals. Total platinum equivalent grade-thickness was determined by multiplying the thickness (in meters) by the Total Platinum Equivalent grade (in grams/tonne) to provide gram-meter values (g-m) as shown. Total nickel equivalent grade-thickness was determined by multiplying the thickness (in meters) by the Total Nickel Equivalent grade (in percent) to provide percent-meter values as shown. Nickel equivalent values may be converted to copper equivalent values by multiplying the NiEq value by the price ratio of the two (ie times two per the above prices), such that 0.5% NiEq equates to 1.0% CuEq. Intervals are reported as drilled widths, and are believed to be representative of true widths.
