Cautionary Statements Cautionary Note Regarding Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only reserves, which are those mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally extract or produce. We use certain terms in this presentation, such as resource, measured resources, indicated resources, and inferred resources that are recognized by Canadian regulations, but that SEC guidelines generally prohibit U.S. registered companies from including in their filings with the SEC, except in certain circumstances. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our most recent Form10-K and Form10-Q. You can review and obtain copies of these filings from the SEC s web site at 2

3 Our patented/unpatented land strategy focusing on former gold mines/prospects on private land with ownership of adjacent unpatented mining claims. From an operational and permitting perspective, this approach not only fits our current strategy of starting small and growing, but also provides a potential base for sizeable operations on private land should that opportunity become available. John Swallow, New Jersey Mining Co. CEO & President 3

Golden Chest Mine Pre-Development Projects become gold producers; Producing gold from open pit and underground; Processing ore at the New Jersey Mill NI shows openpit gold resource; 254,000 oz Measured/Indicated 223,000 oz Inferred All debt associated with surface pit and underground mine start up is paid in full 7

8 Murray Gold Belt 8

9 Murray Gold Belt History Historic Mining District 1879 Gold first discovered in the Murray Gold Belt (MGB) of Idaho Geologically similar to lode mines of Cariboo District and Sheep Camp in Canada (producing an estimated 4 million oz. gold) Forgotten and Overlooked By 1885, Murray Gold Belt became secondary with the discovery of rich lead-silver veins in southern part of district Most world class districts are zoned; MGB is the gold zone within a world class silver district 9

10 Murray Gold Belt - How we got here Rebirth of MGB led by NJMC Newmont and NJMC JV on Toboggan Project Marathon Gold & NJMC JV on Golden Chest Project 2016 NJMC s refines Idaho Fault/Vein position leading to trenching and core drilling for additional open pit targets 2017 Hecla core drilling at Little Baldy NJMC producing gold from underground and open pit 10

11 Murray Gold Belt Where we are going Modern Development and Production Activity Infrastructure modernized new portal, decline and spiral ramp Hecla increases land position to approximately 14 square miles 2018 Hecla purchases Toboggan claims and data set from NJMC 2018 NJMC significantly increases land position; Crown Point, Buckskin, Butte Gulch, Giant Ledge 2019 Golden Chest Lay-Back Pit, Klondike Surface Pit, Crown Butte Exploration Drilling 11

12 Murray Gold Belt Elephant Country Geological setting provides opportunity to host several large deposits: Location on major north-south faults Sulfide mineralogy - Galena (lead), Pyrite (iron), Chalcopyrite (copper), Sphalerite (zinc) Gold and tungsten association Shear-hosted orogenic Mineralization associated with alkalic intrusives 12

13 Murray Gold Belt Why we like it NJMC s strategic land position Crown Point Project Crown Point Vein Zone exhibits 40 to 100-foot widths along at least 3,000 feet of strike in surface outcrop Four Square Mine, an historical producer of gold and tungsten Currently undergoing surface diamond core drilling Buckskin Project Historic underground workings and 20-stamp mill Recent trenching revealed mineralized veins 218 acres of patented land and 700 acres of unpatented land Butte Gulch Project Historic producer of placer gold with unidentified lode source Documented gold-bearing veins Giant Ledge Project Historic underground workings Core drilling by Sunshine Mining Large gold anomaly identified 13

14 Golden Chest Mine

15 The Golden Chest Mine Located in the Murray Gold Belt of the Coeur d Alene Mining District NJMC owns 100% (subject to 2% NSR royalty) More than $13M invested in infrastructure, exploration & development Open-pit and underground mining underway 2017 NI open-pit gold resource: 254,000 oz M&I and 223,000 oz Inferred Good exploration/expansion potential both at depth and along strike 15

16 Open-Pit Gold Production Commenced underground operations in December 2017 Expanded Golden Chest open pit design has an estimated 100, grams Au (gpt), totaling 12,700 ounces of gold Additional 30-meter lay-back of current pit is possible Drilling and modelling work currently underway on next open pit, the Klondike Work currently underway to evaluate additional open pits along Idaho Fault 16

17 Underground Gold Production Commenced underground operations in December 2017 Open-Pit Initial production focused on Skookum Shoot orebody Modern exploration (including nearly 30,000 meters of drilling) has revealed six northwest trending shoots that demonstrate consistent widths and spacing along Idaho Fault Outstanding platform for future exploration and resource development 17

18 Near-Term Resource Expansion Similar to deposits of the nearby Coeur d Alene District, ore shoots at the Golden Chest suggest potential for vertical continuity, greater extent in dip than strike CROSS SECTION SHOWING VERTICAL CONTINUITY OF SKOOKUM ORE SHOOT Over 1,000 meters of strike identified As one of six identified ore shoots, the Skookum Shoot, the site of targeted production, demonstrates a strike of 100 meters and down dip extent of 600+ meters Expansion potential in several drill-tested areas including Skookum up-dip and the Paymaster zone Confirmation drilling expected to increase resources and extend mine life 18

19 District-Scale Potential Golden Chest property located within the Murray Gold Belt includes 68 patented & 388 unpatented mining claims covering 6,195 acres Six ore shoots demonstrate strong periodicity along Idaho Fault, with consistent width & spacing Over 30,000 meters of drilling on property, beginning with Newmont in 1980s Excellent mineralization potential in unmined northern shoots and in Joe Dandy & Paymaster shoots to the south 19

20 Central Idaho Gold Belt IDAHO

21 Central Idaho Advanced Exploration Eastern Star Project Located in the Elk City Mining District 11 patented (220 ac) and 38 unpatented (760 ac) lode claims acres totaling 980 acres Near surface high grade-target revealed by NJMC trenching Drill ready for 2019 field season Excellent infrastructure located near high voltage power and highway access Of 27 samples collected by the Company over multiple vein zones, 12 returned gold values exceeding 5.5 gpt with five of those exceeding 17.0 gpt. 21

22 Central Idaho Early Stage Exploration South Fork Project Located in the historic Elk City Mining District Historic high-grade producer Three adits provide access to four veins Located near highway 5 patented and 34 unpatented lode claims totaling 704 acres 22

23 Butte Highlands

24 Butte Highlands Joint Venture Butte Highlands Project Historic gold producer, Nearly 30,000 meters of drilling by Battle Mtn, Placer Dome, Orvana & ASARCO in the 1980s & 1990s. 1,600 meters of underground development and surface facilities, built by industry leader SMD. 16,150 meters of core drilled from underground stations in 2011, outlining initial production zones. IDAHO NJMC purchased a 50% interest in Butte Highlands JV LLC ( BHJV ). Fully permitted with nearly $40 million invested. Located south of Butte, in a region that hosted several multi-million ounce gold deposits. NJMC interest is carried to production with its share of costs paid from future production. 24

25 In its most basic form, we have incorporated a number of moving parts into an overall business approach that separates us from other junior mining and exploration companies. Our goal is to continue to build the Company as we have done, paying off start up debt, utilizing revenues from existing operations to expand and grow our asset base. More simply put, we put our money where our mouth is, focus on doing the heavy lifting and just get shit done. John Swallow, New Jersey Mining Co. CEO & President 25
