Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements:
2
This presentation contains “forward-looking information” (also referred to herein as “forward-looking statements”) under the provisions of applicable Canadian securities legislation. Generally, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “believes” or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will”, “occur” or “be achieved” or the negative connotation thereof.
Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those in respect of: the economic outlook for the mining industry; expectations regarding metal prices, production, and project development; the current and planned commercial operations, initiatives and objectives in respect of certain projects of Trevali Mining Corporation (“Trevali” or “TV”) including the Perkoa, Caribou, Rosh Pinah and Santander mines (the “Mines”); TV’s current and planned exploration initiatives; strategies and objectives in respect of the Mines; liquidity, capital resources and expenditures; sustainability and environmental initiatives and objectives; business development strategies and outlook; product distribution forecasts; leverage metrics; planned capital expenditures; debt repayment schedules; planned work programs and drilling programs in respect of the Mines; and economic performance, financial conditions and expectations.
Forward-looking statements also include, but are not limited to, factors and assumptions in respect of: normal operating conditions; cost and production guidance with respect to its operations and the Mines; statements with respect to the future price, market, demand, supply and/or uses of zinc and copper; current uses and initiatives propelling new uses of zinc; the estimation of mineral reserves and mineral resources; the realization of mineral reserve estimates; the timing and amount of estimated future production; costs of production; targeted cost reductions; capital expenditures; free cash flow; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; costs and timing of the exploration and development of new deposits; success of current and planned exploration initiatives and activities; permitting timelines; currency exchange rate fluctuations; requirements for additional capital; government regulation of mining operations; environmental policies and risks; unanticipated reclamation expenses; timing and possible outcomes of pending litigation; title disputes or claims; and limitations on insurance coverage.
Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of TV and/or the Mines to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to, those in respect of: international operations including economic and political instability in foreign jurisdictions in which TV operates; current global financial conditions; joint venture operations; actual results of current and planned exploration activities; actual results of drilling programs; actual results of current reclamation activities; environmental policies and risks; conclusions of economic evaluations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; changes in the future prices, market, demand, supply and/or uses of zinc and copper; possible variations in mineral resources and mineral reserves; grade or recovery rates; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; integration of acquisitions; accidents; labour disputes; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities and other risks of the mining industry; inaccuracies or changes in the consolidated zinc production, exploration, and operational guidance for the Mines; inaccuracies or changes in the analysis of the exploration potential of the Mines; failure to complete the work programs or drilling programs at the Mines; inaccuracies or changes in the growth pipelines of the Mines; as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in TV’s most recent management’s discussion and analysis and annual information form available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Although TV has attempted to identify important factors, assumptions and risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be others that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof and, accordingly, are subject to change after such date. Forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of providing information about management’s current expectations and plans and allowing investors and others to get a better understanding of TV’s operating environment. TV does not intend or undertake to publicly update any forward-looking statements that are included in this presentation, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
Non-IFRS Measures This presentation refers to ‘EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization)’, ‘free cash flow’, ‘site cash operating cost per tonne milled’, and ‘site cash operating cost per pound of payable zinc equivalent produced’, which are financial performance measures with no standard meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Such non‐IFRS financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management uses these measures internally to evaluate the underlying operating performance of TV for the relevant reporting periods. The use of these measures enables management to assess performance trends and to evaluate the results of the underlying business of TV. Management understands that certain investors, and others who follow TV’s performance, also assess performance in this way. Management believes that these measures reflect TV’s performance and are better indications of its expected performance in future periods. This data is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The information presented herein was approved by management of Trevali on April 16, 2018.

Trevali Exploration (a NAV Generator) – 2017 Highlights
45
• Proven exploration team – lower quartile discovery costs providing strong leverage for generating shareholder value.
• All deposits remain open for expansion – drives increased Life Of Mines (LOM) - ~60,000m committed brown-field (low risk) drill campaign in progress.
Successful exploration & discovery:
Tier 1 zinc deposit (tonnage/grade) in an established yet underexplored major global Zn district. Low risk, high reward exploration.
Control 6 deposits in one of the world’s largest VMS Districts – visibility on multiple project pipeline providing approx. 20 years of mill feed.
Analogous to large Peruvian polymetallic systems (Antamina) – upper quartile tonnage and grades increasing – remains under-explored. Interest from Super-Majors for system’s potential.
First mover in an high-grade, frontier VMS belt. Perkoa is one of the highest-grade Zn mine globally. Excellent potential for further discoveries.
Mineral system analysis indicates significant size potential – provides optionality for either increased throughput and/or multi-cycle LOMs:

Zinc: Demand and Supply – Continued Strong Fundamentals
Global zinc inventories (LME & SHFE) are near multi-year lows while prices are forecast to remain strong
Forecast 2% per year through 2022
Global Zinc Demand Increase
Driven by GDP growth, urbanization & infrastructure development, and as a “mid-cycle” commodity with expanding markets for consumer goods.
Zinc Supply Constrained • Mine closures and production cuts over past few years
have significantly reduced global zinc concentrate stocks, disrupting concentrate flows, forced treatment charges lower, and constraining growth in refined production
• Refined metal stocks expected to fall to historically low levels in 2018, driving zinc prices higher
• Continued anticipated zinc supply constraints mean zinc prices will are expected to remain at elevated levels
Approx. 320,000 tonnes/year
Strengthening zinc prices Forecast of further strengthening zinc prices in reaction to continued near-term supply deficits

Zinc: Outlook – Sustained Strong Prices
66
• Risks to supply are on the downside. Glencore restarts likely to be later and slower, accelerating near-term concentrate drawdowns
• Shortage of concentrate will constrain refined output
• Lack of project development over the next 2-3 years indicate extreme shortages seem inevitable
• Long term forecast price of $2700/t will likely be exceeded as project pipeline cannot meet demand

Zinc: New Mine Pipeline – Not Filling The Gap
67
Not enough mines at an advanced stage to meet medium-term needs. Requirement for the development of 2.1Mt of mine capability by 2022.
Once approved with financing and permitting, mine development can be 3-4 years
• The historic, supply-side response from China is not occurring as zinc production has been curtailed by enforcement of more stringent environmental operating policy
• Globally, permitting timelines are increasing, stretching out the mine development pipeline

Zinc: Growing Market/New Uses (Agriculture, Batteries, Renewable Power and EVs?)
14 million tonnes of zinc is produced and consumed annually. Demand is forecast to increase by approx. 2% per year through 2022.
APPROX 40% Utilized in die-casting, production of brass and bronze, and into oxides and chemicals.
Galvanizing 60%
Brass/Bronze 11%
Zinc diecast alloys 13%
Zinc chemicals 9%
Zinc Semis 5%
APPROX 60% Utilized for its corrosion resistance (galvanized steel, rebar, autos, structural steel)
Other 2%
Initiatives propelling new uses of zinc include:
Zinc nutrient/fertilizer applications Zinc fertilizer can both significantly increase crop yield and boost nutrient value. Zinc Nutrient Initiative and Zinc Saves Kids programs spearheading new, significant uses.
Zinc battery technology Advances in renewable grid power storage applications and fuel cells. Zinc is a highly stable metal, has excellent power density and is sustainable.
Zinc is an excellent anti-corrosion metal, is difficult to substitute and typically forms a minor cost component in its applications.

Scientific and technical information contained in this presentation was reviewed and approved by EurGeol Dr. Mark D. Cruise, TV's President and Chief Executive Officer, and a “qualified person” as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). Dr. Cruise is not independent of TV as he is an officer, director and shareholder of TV. Certain technical information in this presentation was derived from the following technical reports of Trevali in respect of the Perkoa, Caribou, Rosh Pinah, and Santander mines: 1. The technical report entitled “Technical Report on the Perkoa Mine, Burkina Faso” dated April 7, 2017 as prepared by Roscoe Postle Associates
Inc. and by “qualified persons” Torben Jensen, P.Eng., Ian T. Blakley, P. Geo, Tracey Jacquemin, Pr. Sci. Nat, and Holger Krutselmann (the “Perkoa Technical Report”);
2. The technical report entitled “Technical Report on Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Halfmile-Stratmat Massive Suplhide Zinc-Lead-Silver Integrated Project Bathurst, New Brunswick, Canada” dated October 26, 2017 as prepared primarily by SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. and by “qualified persons” Benny Zhang, P. Eng, Gary Poxleitner, P. Eng, Gilles Arseneau, P. Geo, G. Ross MacFarlane, P. Eng, Paul Keller, P. Eng, and Jeffrey Barrett, P. Eng (the “Caribou Technical Report”)
3. The technical report entitled “Technical Report on the Rosh Pinah Mine, Namibia” dated April 7, 2017 as prepared by Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. and by “qualified persons” Torben Jensen, P.Eng., Ian T. Blakley, P. Geo, Tracey Jacquemin, Pr. Sci. Nat, and Holger Krutselmann (the “Rosh Pinah Technical Report”); and
4. The technical report entitled “Mineral Reserve Estimation Technical Report for the Santander Zinc Mine, Province de Huaral, Peru” as prepared primarily by SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. and SRK Consulting (Peru) S.A. and by “qualified persons” Benny Zhang, P. Eng, Gary Poxleitner, P. Eng, Gilles Arseneau, P. Geo, Leonard Holland, C. Eng, and David Maarse (the “Santander Technical Report”).
The Perkoa Technical Report, Caribou PEA, Rosh Pinah Technical Report, and Santander Technical Report are available on the SEDAR profile of TV at www.sedar.com. The production plan at the Caribou mine is based only on measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources, and not mineral reserves, and does not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred mineral resources are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is therefore no certainty that the conclusions of the production plans and Caribou Technical Report will be realized. The production plans at the Santander, Rosh Pinah and Perkoa mines are based on both proven and probable mineral reserves in addition to measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources. Additionally, where TV discusses exploration/expansion potential herein, any potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Where ZnEq is presented: ZnEq Payable Pounds Produced = ((Zn Payable lbs Produced x Zn Price)+(Pb Payable lbs Produced x Pb Price)+(Cu Payable lbs Produced x Cu Price)+(Au oz Payable Produced x Au Price)+(Ag oz Payable Produced x Ag Price))/Zn Price.

Cautionary Note Regarding United States Laws:
72
The mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates contained in this presentation have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities laws, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws and uses terms that are not recognized by the SEC. Canadian reporting requirements for disclosure of mineral properties are governed by the Canadian Securities Administrators’ NI 43-101. The definitions used in NI 43-101 are incorporated by reference from the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) — Definition Standards adopted by CIM Council on May 10, 2014 (the “CIM Definition Standards”). U.S. reporting requirements are governed by the SEC Industry Guide 7 (“Industry Guide 7”) under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These reporting standards have similar goals in terms of conveying an appropriate level of confidence in the disclosures being reported, but embody different approaches and definitions. For example, the terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve” and “probable mineral reserve” are Canadian mining terms as defined in NI 43-101, and these definitions differ from the definitions in Industry Guide 7. Under Industry Guide 7 standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority. Further, under Industry Guide 7, 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. In addition, the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101; however, these terms are not defined terms under Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. You are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. “Inferred mineral 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 inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. You are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. Accordingly, information in this presentation containing descriptions of any mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. You are cautioned that the mineral reserves presented in this presentation, while in compliance with Canadian standards and regulations, may not meet the requirements of reserve disclosure under SEC guidelines.
