Resource Upside Evident and Growing

▪ A pit and underground Constrained Inferred Mineral

Resource of 424,000 ounces at 3.1 g/t AuEq (4.3 million tonnes at

2.3 g/t Au, 430 ppm Co) at 0.37 g/t AuEq cut-off open pit and 2 g/t

AuEq underground

▪ Unconstrained Inferred Mineral Inventory for the Palokas and Raja

prospects of 482,000 ounces 2.4 g/t AuEq (6.2 million tonnes at 1.7

g/t Au, 410 ppm Co) at 0.4 g/t AuEq cut-off.

▪ The constrained resource demonstrates the high-grade of Rajapalot

with open-pittable grades of 2.8 g/t AuEq (2.1 g/t Au and 420 ppm

Co) and underground grades of 5.2 g/t AuEq (4.4 g/t Au and 520

ppm Co)

▪ First resource estimate has potential to grow substantially:

▪ only 20% (800 metres) of the 4 kilometres known mineralized

trend included within the maiden resource to relatively shallow

depths (average depth of drilling 88 metres within 34.2

kilometres drilled to date at Rajapalot)

▪ Electromagnetics (EM) driving targeting below and along strike from

resource areas

Finland’s Strategic Cobalt

▪ Finland refines half the world’s cobalt outside of China. The world’s largest cobalt refinery islocated 400 kilometres to the south of Rajapalot

▪ CRU estimates refining of 22,734 tonnes of cobalt in Finland (2017) (or 18.4% of world refinedcobalt production of ~123,000 tonnes), with 90% of Finnish refined cobalt sourced from severalChinese-owned mines in the DRC

▪ Meanwhile, Finland mines just 650 tonnes or 0.5% of the world's cobalt

▪ Finland and Sweden are on the hunt for an ethical sources with a traceable ledger for cobalt,considered crucial for achieving climate goals. Mawson can support Finland’s ethical andsustainable needs.

▪ Mineralogical work shows cobalt hosted in cobaltite (85% mass) and linneate (15% mass) in certain areas and cobalt pentlandite only in other areas

▪ 82% of the Rompas-Rajapalot project lie outside of Natura areas

▪ Natura 2000 sites cover about 14% of Finland, 18% of the EU's

land area and approximately 30% of Northern Finland

▪ Mawson ARE permitted to complete all exploration in Rajapalot

Natura zones – 15 year permit with 3 year renewals

▪ The next step required will come at mining where we may need

biodiversity offsets within Natura areas

(20% of exploration permit area)

▪ There are mining projects that have been permitted

and are in production including Krumovgrad,

Prosper Haniel and Mechelse Heide Zuid

▪ Anglo American is currently permitting the Sakatti

Ni-Cu-PGE project in Natura for mining in Finland
