7 The Western Athabasca Syndicate In early-2013 Athabasca Nuclear acquired its Western Athabasca Basin presence, and subsequently entered into option agreements with three other publicly-traded companies to jointly explore the Preston Project (the Western Athabasca Syndicate ). Each earn-in company (Skyharbour, Noka, and Rojo) may earn 25% of Athabasca Nuclear s original mineral tenure by completing certain work requirements totaling $5M over a two-year period. As of Spring 2015, nearly $4M has been spent in regional exploration that has identified a number of regional exploration targets, including preliminary drill testing. The Syndicate controls 250,000+ acres along the SW margin of the Athabasca Basin proximate to the area of the PLS discovery (Triple R, Fission Uranium) and Arrow discovery (NexGen Energy)

8 Exploring Preston in 2015 A 1,234 station gravity survey was completed over four grids in the Depper Lake area including one at the FIN target, one at the FSA target and two at the Dixon target. At FIN, a 73 station RadonEx survey returned significant radon cluster anomalies with up to 0.40 pci/m2/sec in soil (RFM samples), and up to pci/l in water. Based on the combined results of the gravity and RadonEx surveys, six high priority targets have been identified and will be subjected to ground based horizontal loop electromagnetic (HLEM) surveys. Summer 2015 Update - Preparations underway for a drill program testing multiple targets in August and September.

9 Additional Project Summary Points Fifteen high-priority drill target areas associated with eight prospective exploration corridors have been successfully delineated through this extensive summer airborne geophysics and ground evaluation. Of the fifteen areas associated with the exploration corridors, the most prospective areas were further assessed by grid based radon surveys as well as gravity and EM surveys. Initial drill program was conducted in Spring 2014 with approximately 2,000 meters in 9 holes. Seven of the holes intersected a broad, hydrothermally altered and reactivated, structural zone. Five of the holes returned elevated radioactivity and intersected multiple graphitic units within sheared and altered basement lithologies. The alteration commonly consists of pervasive chlorite, hematite and clay development; features which are common to uranium mineralization elsewhere in the Athabasca Basin.

11 The Wollaston NE Uranium Property Approx. 81,000 ha (200,000 acres). Covers magnetic low extensions of the Wollaston domain beyond the borders of the Athabasca Basin. Surrounded by prominent regional exploration companies including Northern Uranium (TSXV: UNO) and Roughrider Exploration (TSXV:REL), both with active multi-million dollar exploration programs underway. Exploration potential for PLS-type basement hosted uranium and opportunity to participate in a potential new discovery district.

12 The Prongua Lake Diamond Property 80% interest in approx. 9,270 acres covering 16 claims. Contiguous to and up-ice from the North Arrow Minerals (TSXV: NAR) and Stornoway Diamond s Pikoo diamond discovery. Core tenure position in Canada s newest diamond discovery district. Adjacent to regional exploration pub-co. s including Strike Diamond Corp (TSXV:SRK) and Alto Ventures Ltd. (TSXV:ATV). Till sampling program and airborne magnetics expected during summer 2015.

13 The Pikoo North Diamond Property* *Acquisition subject to TSXV approval. Approx. 3,288 acres covering 2 claims. Located within Pikoo Diamond Camp in the Sask Craton region. Covers the up-ice direction to recent discoveries of chrome diopsides and eclogitic olivine by Copper Reef Mining (CSE: CZC). Contains five known geolphysical kimberlite targets, including Pikoo and Pikoo identified by Stornoway Diamond that have not had groundbased follow-up. Till sampling program being planned for summer 2015.

14 ASC = Multiple Opportunity Sets Exposure to one of the largest mineral tenure positions in Western Athabasca Basin with exploration for PLS-type basement hosted uranium. Near Fission Uranium s Triple R deposit and adjacent to NexGen Energy s Arrow deposit. Well-maintained basic and diluted share structure and no debt. Positioned in emerging Wollaston NE camp where basement hosted uranium models are being explored for. High-quality up-ice mineral tenure position within Pikoo Diamond District which ties on to North Arrow s Pikoo Project tenure. Leveraged to multiple exploration camps and diversified through multiple commodities. Active with Summer 2015 exploration work at both Preston (PLS) and Pikoo!
