TSX:WS Investor Presentation October 2014 TSX: WS 1 Focused,1 Strategic, Unique CAUTIONARY STATEMENT Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information Certain information contained in this presentation constitutes forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, are forward looking statements including statements with respect to the Company’s intentions for its Hermosa project in Arizona, USA including, without limitation, the amount of mineral resources and mineral reserves, expected future mineral production, expected metal grades and metal recoveries, expected future capital and operating costs, expected realizable metal prices, expected markets for EMM, expected timing for future metallurgical and other work and expected timing for the completion of a feasibility study. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as may, will, seek, anticipate, believe, plan, estimate, budget, schedule, forecast, project, expect, intend, or similar expressions. The forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions which, while considered reasonable by Wildcat, are subject to risks and uncertainties. In addition to the assumptions herein, these assumptions include the assumptions described in Wildcat's management's discussion and analysis for the period ended December 31, 2013 ("MD&A"). Wildcat cautions readers that forward-looking statements involve and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements and forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results, performance or achievement. These risks, uncertainties and factors include general business, economic, competitive, political, regulatory and social uncertainties; actual results of exploration activities and economic evaluations; fluctuations in currency exchange rates; changes in project parameters; changes in costs, including labour, infrastructure, operating and production costs; future prices of silver and other minerals; variations of mineral grade or recovery rates; operating or technical difficulties in connection with exploration, development or mining activities, including the failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; delays in completion of exploration, development or construction activities; changes in government legislation and regulation; the ability to maintain and renew existing licenses and permits or obtain required licenses and permits in a timely manner; the ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms in a timely manner; contests over title to properties; employee relations and shortages of skilled personnel and contractors; the speculative nature of, and the risks involved in, the exploration, development and mining business; and the factors discussed in the section entitled "Risks and Uncertainties" in the MD&A. Although Wildcat has attempted to identify important risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual performance, achievements, actions, events, results or conditions to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking information, there may be other risks, uncertainties and other factors that cause performance, achievements, actions, events, results or conditions to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. Unless otherwise indicated, forward-looking statements contained herein are as of the date hereof and Wildcat disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. About Reserves and Resources This presentation uses the terms measured, indicated and inferred resources as a relative measure of the level of confidence in the resource estimate. Readers are cautioned that: (a) mineral resources are not economic mineral reserves; (b) the economic viability of resources that are not mineral reserves has not been demonstrated; and (c) it should not be assumed that further work on the stated resources will lead to mineral reserves that can be mined economically. In addition, inferred resources are considered too geologically speculative to have any economic considerations applied to them. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies or economic studies except for certain preliminary economic assessments. All Dollars are United States Dollars. All project metrics are shown on a 100%-ownership basis. All tons are short tons.

TSX: WS 28 28 ABOUT MANGANESE Manganese is the world’s fourth most heavily consumed metal Global mine output of 18 million Mn tons in 2012 – over 90% goes into steel All steels contain manganese Manganese is used to remove sulphur from liquid steel (sulphur causes steel to crack) and there is no viable substitute for manganese as a de-sulphuriser Manganese is used to improve the strength of certain steels Higher grades of manganese, such as EMM, are required for high quality steels, like automotive and appliance steel Non-steel consumption of manganese includes de-polarisation of dry-cell batteries, use for lithium batteries in hybrid automotives and as an additive in certain aluminium and copper alloys Source: AlloyConsult TSX: WS 29 29 ABOUT MANGANESE METAL (EMM) A pure manganese product (usually >99% Mn), typically produced electrolytically and is often referred to as EMM (electrolytic manganese metal) 97% of global production in China, the other 3% in South Africa China also very dominant in terms of global consumption (~70%) Main uses in steels which cannot tolerate carbon or silicon – o Extensively in 200 series stainless steel in Asia (primarily for consumer products), o Specialized carbon steels in US/Europe Used extensively in aluminium alloys as a hardener, notably in beverage cans. Also used in some copper alloys Used as a raw material feed for LC FeMn output in China Source: AlloyConsult TSX: WS 30 30 MN METAL: GLOBAL SUPPLY VS DEMAND Global Mn Metal Production (2012) Global Mn Metal Consumption (2012) Other – 3% North America 3% Europe 7% Other Asia 14% China – 70% China – 97% Total approx. 1.3M tonnes Total approx. 1.6M tonnes Source: AlloyConsult TSX: WS 31 31 EMM PRICING Historical EMM Pricing - North America $ per EMM lb 2.50 2.00 1.50 WS Pre-feasibility EMM Price: $1.19 / lb 1.00 0.50 0.00 Jan/09 Jul/09 Jan/10 Jul/10 Jan/11 Jul/11 Jan/12 Jul/12 Jan/13 Jul/13 Source: Ryan’s Notes (CRU) EMM prices are at currently at low levels TSX: WS 32 32 THE HERMOSA EMM COST ADVANTAGE Hermosa is expected to have one of the lowest cash costs globally at $0.73 per EMM pound(1). The Hermosa EMM facility is expected to: Benefit from a supply of manganese ore that is already processed in a ground and reduced form at a low cost. Most EMM producers purchase manganese ore at market prices and incur processing costs prior to EMM plating. Not be subject to the impact of changes in the market price of manganese ore and transportation costs to transport the ore to the EMM facility. Enjoy lower electricity prices compared to Chinese EMM facilities. Electricity comprises approximately 60-70% of the cost of running an EMM plant, excluding the cost of ore. Benefit from readily available continued low cost of sulfuric acid, a significant reagent used in EMM processing. Transportation cost advantage to North American EMM customers. Not be subject to the 14% import tax currently levied on imported Chinese EMM. Hermosa EMM facility has a sustainable long term low cost position for servicing the North American Market 1. Cash costs reported on a co-product basis whereby production costs are allocated to manganese based on the relative revenue.
