and objectives for current and future exploration plans including, but not limited to, planned areas of additional exploration, further extensions and expansion of mineralization at the MCSA Mining Complex, the NX Gold Mine and the Boa Esperança Project.
Forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance and are based upon a number of estimates and assumptions of management in light of management's experience and perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments, as well as other factors
that management believes to be relevant and reasonable in the circumstances, as of the date of this presentation including, without limitation, assumptions about: continued effectiveness of the measures taken by the Company to mitigate the possible impact of COVID-19 on its
workforce and operations; favourable equity and debt capital markets; the ability to raise any necessary additional capital on reasonable terms to advance the production, development and exploration of the Company's properties and assets; future prices of copper and other metal
prices; the timing and results of exploration and drilling programs; the accuracy of any mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates; the geology of the MCSA Mining Complex, NX Gold Property and the Boa Esperança Property being as described in the technical reports for these
properties; production costs; the accuracy of budgeted exploration and development costs and expenditures; the price of other commodities such as fuel; future currency exchange rates and interest rates; operating conditions being favourable such that the Company is able to
operate in a safe, efficient and effective manner; work force conditions to remain healthy in the face of prevailing epidemics, pandemics or other health risks (including COVID-19), political and regulatory stability; the receipt of governmental, regulatory and third party approvals,
licenses and permits on favourable terms; obtaining required renewals for existing approvals, licenses and permits on favourable terms; requirements under applicable laws; sustained labour stability; stability in financial and capital goods markets; availability of equipment and critical
supplies, spare parts and consumables; positive relations with local groups and the Company's ability to meet its obligations under its agreements with such groups; and satisfying the terms and conditions of the Company's current loan arrangements. While the Company considers
these assumptions to be reasonable, the assumptions are inherently subject to significant business, social, economic, political, regulatory, competitive, global health, and other risks and uncertainties, contingencies and other factors that could cause actual actions, events, conditions,
results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Many assumptions are based on factors and events that are not within the control of the Company and there is no assurance they will prove to be correct.
Furthermore, such forward-looking statements involve a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual plans, intentions, activities, results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future plans,
intentions, activities, results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks include, without limitation, the risk factors listed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s latest Annual Information Form (the “AIF”).
Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events, conditions, results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events,
conditions, results, performance or achievements to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended.
The Company cautions that the foregoing lists of important assumptions and factors are not exhaustive. Other events or circumstances could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated or projected and expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statement
contained herein. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statement will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statement. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statement.
Forward-looking statements contained herein are made as of the date of this presentation and the Company disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise, except as and to the
extent required by applicable securities laws.
This presentation may also contain future-oriented financial information (“FOFI”) and information which could be considered to be in the nature of a “financial outlook”. Such FOFI or financial outlook was approved by management of the Company as of the date of presentation for the
purpose of providing management’s reasonable estimate of what return investors might expect to earn based on the assumptions set forth in such estimates and the information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Management cautions that such FOFI or financial outlook
reflects the Company’s current beliefs and are based on information currently available to the Company and on assumptions the Company believes are reasonable. Actual results and developments may differ materially from results and developments discussed in the FOFI or financial
outlook as they are subject to a number of significant risks and uncertainties. Certain of these risks and uncertainties are beyond the Company’s control. Consequently, all of the FOFI or financial outlook are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurances.
Cautionary Notes Regarding Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimates
In accordance with applicable Canadian securities regulatory requirements, all mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates of the Company disclosed in this presentation have been prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral
Projects (“NI 43-101”) and are classified in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM") Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council on May 10, 2014 (the "CIM Standards"). NI 43-101 is a rule
developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. NI 43-101 differs significantly from the disclosure requirements of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") generally applicable to U.S. companies. For example, the terms "mineral reserve", "proven mineral reserve", "probable mineral reserve", "mineral resource", "measured mineral resource", "indicated mineral resource" and "inferred mineral resource" are
defined in NI 43-101. These definitions differ from the definitions in the disclosure requirements promulgated by the SEC. Accordingly, information contained in this presentation may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies reporting pursuant to SEC
disclosure requirements.
Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Pursuant to the CIM Standards, mineral resources have a higher degree of uncertainty than mineral reserves as to their existence as well as their economic and legal feasibility. Inferred
mineral resources, when compared with measured or indicated mineral resources, have the least certainty as to their existence, and it cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will be upgraded to an indicated or measured mineral resource as a result of
continued exploration. Pursuant to NI 43-101, inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of any economic analysis. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of a mineral resource exists, will ever be converted into a mineral reserve, or is or will ever
be economically or legally mineable or recovered.

Where applicable, exploration target projection(s) are shown to demonstrate future area of exploration focus within the Company’s operations. These projections are based on data compilation work which includes review of geological controls, structural
analysis and copper mineralization identified during the Company’s technical programs. The interpretation and boundary limits do not imply continuity of mineralization, or actual thickness of mineralization which has yet to be defined.
Third Party Information
This presentation includes market, industry and economic data which was obtained from various publicly available sources and other sources believed by the Company to be true. Although the Company believes it to be reliable, the Company has not
independently verified any of the data from third party sources referred to in this presentation, or analyzed or verified the underlying reports relied upon or referred to by such sources, or ascertained the underlying economic and other assumptions relied upon
by such sources. The Company believes that its market, industry and economic data is accurate and that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, but there can be no assurance as to the accuracy or completeness thereof. The accuracy and completeness
of the market, industry and economic data used throughout this presentation are not guaranteed and the Company does not make any representation as to the accuracy or completeness of such information.
Non-IFRS Measures
Financial results of the Company are prepared in accordance with IFRS. The Company and MCSA utilize certain non-IFRS measures, including C1 cash cost of copper produced per pound, C1 cash costs of gold produced per ounce, EBITDA and working capital
as more particularly described in the Company's MD&A for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021, a copy of which can be found on the Company's website, on SEDAR and on EDGAR. The Company believes that these measures, together with
measures determined in accordance with IFRS, provide investors with an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company, the MCSA Mining Complex and the NX Gold Mine. Non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meaning
prescribed under IFRS, and therefore they may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies. The 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. C1 cash cost of copper produced (per lb) is the sum of production costs, net of capital expenditure development costs and by-product credits, divided by the copper pounds produced. C1 cash cost reported by the
Company include treatment, refining charges, offsite costs, and certain tax credits relating to sales invoiced to the Company's Brazilian customer on sales. C1 cash cost of copper produced per pound is a non-IFRS measure used by the Company to manage and
evaluate operating performance of the Company’s operating mining unit and is widely reported in the mining industry as benchmarks for performance but does not have a standardized meaning and is disclosed in addition to IFRS measures. C1 cash cost of gold
produced (per ounce) is the sum of production costs, net of capital expenditure development costs and silver by-product credits, divided by the gold ounces produced. C1 cash cost of gold produced per ounce is a non-IFRS measure used by the Company to
manage and evaluate operating performance of the Company's operating mining unit and is widely reported in the mining industry as benchmarks for performance but does not have a standardized meaning and is disclosed in addition to IFRS measures.

Geometries indicate steeply-plunging deposits
with relatively small near-surface footprints
Mineralization associated with mafic-

Key is to identify traps within larger systems
with detailed mapping and trenching
Mineralization occurs as disseminated to

Boa Esperança Mineral Reserves Notes:
1. Effective Date of August 31, 2021.
2. Stated mineral resources are inclusive of mineral reserves. All figures have been rounded to the relative accuracy of the estimates. Summed amounts may not add due to rounding. High-grade and low-grade mineral resources defined
as greater than or equal to 1.00% copper and less than 1.00% copper, respectively.
3. A 3D geologic model was developed for the Boa Esperança Project. Geologically constrained copper grade shells are developed using a copper cut-off grade of 0.20% and 0.51% for pit constrained and unconstrained mineral
resources, respectively, to generate a 3D mineralization model of the Boa Esperança Project. Within grade shells, mineral resources are estimated using ordinary kriging within a 2.0 meter by 2.0 meter by 4.0 meter block size. Open
pit constrained, unconstrained and marginal cut-off grades are based upon a copper price of US$6,400 per tonne with cost parameters appropriate to the deposit. The mineral resource estimates are prepared in accordance with the
Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council on May 10, 2014 (the “CIM Standards”), and the CIM Estimation of Mineral
Resources and Mineral Reserves Best Practice Guidelines, adopted by CIM Council on November 29, 2019 (the ‘CIM Guidelines”), using geostatistical and/or classical methods, plus economic and mining parameters appropriate to
the deposit.
4. Mineral reserve estimates are prepared in accordance with the CIM Standards and the CIM Guidelines, using geostatistical and/or classical methods, plus economic and mining parameters appropriate for the deposit. Mineral reserves
are based on a long-term copper price of US$6,613 per tonne; concentrate grade of 27% copper; average metallurgical recoveries of 91.3%; copper concentrate logistics costs of US$108.20 per wet metric tonne ("wmt"); transport
losses of 0.2%; copper concentrate treatment charges of US$59.50 per dry metric tonne ("dmt"), refining charges of U$0.0595 per pound of copper; copper payability of 96.3%; average mining cost of US$2.47 per tonne mined;
processing cost of US$7.74 per tonne processed and G&A costs of US$3.83 per tonne processed; average pit slope angles that range from 30º for saprolite to 50º for fresh rock and a 2% CFEM government royalty.
