looking information, including but not limited to: (i) volatile stock price; (ii) the general global markets and economic conditions and in particular, the market

price for graphite and gold; (iii) the possibility of write-downs and impairments; (iv) the risk associated with exploration, development and operations of

mineral deposits; (v) the risk associated with establishing title to mineral properties and assets; (vi)the risks associated with entering into joint ventures; (vii)

fluctuations in commodity prices; (viii) the risks associated with uninsurable risks arising during the course of exploration, development and production; (ix)

competition faced by the resulting issuer in securing experienced personnel and financing; (x) access to adequate infrastructure to support mining,

processing, development and exploration activities; (xi) the risks associated with changes in the mining regulatory regime governing the resulting issuer; (xii)

the risks associated with the various environmental regulations the resulting issuer is subject to; (xiii) risks related to regulatory and permitting delays; (xiv)

plans and such plans achieving their stated expected outcomes, receipt of required regulatory approvals, and such other assumptions and factors as set out

herein. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the

A Flagship Project – Lac Aux Bouleaux

NRG Metals Inc. is focused on developing to

production, the historic Lac Aux Bouleaux Graphite

Mine, a past producer in Quebec, Canada

Lac Aux Bouleaux is contiguous to the Timcal Mine,

the only operating graphite mine in North America,

set to run out of ore by 2020

The Lac Aux Bouleaux Project has a historic deposit

of 1.3 M tonnes at 9% graphite

“ Lithium ion battery demand will drive the market for

graphite in the future ”

Graphite “The Future of Energy”

Graphite is one of two naturally occuring forms of carbon

A superior electrical conductor, used in today’s electronics,

electric vehicles and various other applications

Critical to the way we will use and store energy in the future

The critical component in a lithium ion battery

Now recognized by the U.S. government as a supply critical

mineral

Only two producers in North America

The Lithium Ion Battery Today and Tomorrow

Volt 18 Kg

Tesla 96 Kg

Leaf 27 Kg

Tesla Battery Wall

Graphite “The Future of Energy”

Today’s electric vehicles use between 18 Kg and 96 Kg of

graphite per battery

Graphite – An Expanding Market

Page 7: Developing an Energy Metal Deposit - storage.googleapis.comstorage.googleapis.com/wzukusers/user-13818902... · Corporate Presentation December 2015. ... A qualified person has not

As the need for high quality graphite continues to grow, current marketable

graphite is declining, paving the way for a major deficit past 2016

Graphite – A Supply Deficit Emerging

Lac Aux Bouleaux – Project Summary

14 Mineral Claims covering 738 hectares

Immediately adjoins Imerys’ Timcal Graphite mine at north end

Imerys is a multi-billion dollar conglomerate and Timcal is the only

producing graphite mine in North America

Lac Aux Bouleaux is the site of historic graphite production in 1990

by Graphicor

Historic resource of 1.3 million tonnes of 9% graphite carbon Cg

Mine site includes fully serviced mill building & tailings pond

CAUTION: The historical estimate presented above is relevant to the further exploration of the project which, the Company intends to undertake in the future. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral-resources or mineral reserves; and the Issuer is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves; therefore they should not be relied upon. The historical resource terms used by the author of the 1982 report are not comparable to the CIM defined resource, and should be compared to a potential mineral deposit requiring further exploration drilling to define an initial resource. There is no recent drill information on the Lac Aux Bouleaux Project, and further drilling will be required to upgrade and verify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource, and there is no certainty that this can be accomplished. The issuer has not done the work necessary to verify the classification, grade or quantity of the resource or reserve, the issuer is not treating them as a NI 43-101 compliant resource or reserve verified by a qualified person, and the historical estimate should not be relied upon.

Lac Aux Bouleaux – Flotation Test

SGS Canada completed a flotation test on bulk sample in August

2015

Test work confirmed a high grade graphite concentrate can

produced with simple grind and float

50% of graphite concentrate recovered in jumbo flake size with

95.3% Cg at +48 mesh size and 94% at +100 mesh size

Jumbo flake size is the most valuable

96.7% Cg for flakes larger than +65 mesh

completed an airborne survey of

the Lac Aux Bouleaux Graphite

Lac Aux Bouleaux – Airborne Survey

Results of the airborne survey confirmed the historic mine zone at Lac Aux

Bouleaux and expanded potential mineralized zone

Additional target conductor of 300 by 500 meters was found, located just 1.2

Km south of the main Timcal Pit, interpreted to be continuous with the

graphitic horizon
