1 Presented by Guy Pagé, CEO and Michel Boux, VP Operations Dolomite extraction from a new quarry North-East of Quebec province, Canada July 2013

CaMg(CO 3 ) 2 Calcium, magnesium & carbonate source. Dolomite differs from Limestone CaCO 3 in that it contains magnesium as well as calcium. 2

3 Low SiO 2 HSP2 As a reference, pure dolomite has the following chemical composition: 31,3% CaO + 21,1% Mg0 + 47,2% CO2 (LOI) for a total of 99,8% of the mineral.

4 Result in MgO : 20.5% Result in CaO : 30.2% Result of MgO expressed in MgCO3 : 42.9% Result of MgO expressed in Mg : 12.4% Result of CaO expressed in CaCO3 : 53.9% Result of CaO expressed in Ca : 21.6% > metric tons reserves

5 For reference, pure dolomite has the following chemical composition: 31,3% CaO + 21,1% Mg0 + 47,2% CO2 (LOI) for a total of 99,8% of the mineral.

Finished products:  Aggregates ½ - ¾ in & others : available upon demand  Powders (mesh sizes as requested): shortly Quantities: all suitable quantities will be considered 6

The property is located approximately 940 kilometers northeast of Montreal Region and 20 kilometers east of the town of Havre-St-Pierre. It is directly accessible from the Route Easy shipping North West Google earth

Operations Typical quarrying methods to extract the dolomite will be used. Operation will include drilling and blasting, loading and hauling from the quarry to the stockyard adjacent to where the dolomite will be crushed. Waste rock generated during quarrying will be stored adjacent to overburden stockpiles and will be used for future rehabilitation of the quarry site. All operating equipment will be supplied by the contractor and will include drills, loaders or excavators, haulage trucks, and de-watering equipment. 10

Rosa Galvez, director of the department of civil engineering and water engineering at Laval University has a mission: restore the most polluted lakes in Quebec, one of them being Lac St-Augustin, near Quebec City contaminated by phosphate which induces the proliferation of Blue-green algaes: A unique pilot project in the province PS: Rosa Galvez just confirmed after extensive studies that dolomite is a great mineral to dramatically alleviate the phosphate problem in contaminated lakes, rivers, etc.

12 First year shipping method

13 Big bags (1 mt each) Ground shipping Bulk: quarry to ship 50 lbs plastic bags on wood pallets

14 No quality dolomite shortage expected (> mt reserves) Our dolomite is widespread and is part of a uniform deposit Easy site access to ocean shipping: ease of moving equipment and workforce in and getting our mined product out to market Low extraction costs, the dolomite deposit being horizontal: ease of extraction (open cast sites / quarrying in softer rocks typically easer and hence cheaper than deep hard rock mining). Supply capacity: – MT/year Purity of our dolomite (low iron and silica) : can be used in almost all applications Quarry : ready to ship dolomite Mainline railway and national highway are adjacent to the quarry. Size reduction to dolomite mesh powders Access to skilled subcontractors

Dolomine Inc. expects that (by the end of July 2013) ± mt of dolomite aggregates will be available.  Aggregates Direct sales: Michel Boux, VP Operations Dolomine at Sold via distributors from our quarry:  Google earth: North West  Powders this will be determined shortly  Sales representative USA: please contact Roman Rakovsky from Barite Word or 15

We are now taking orders and/or letters of intention for the purchase of such dolomite aggregates and shortly powders. Prices will depend on dimensions, size and quantity. Dolomite aggregates 0.6 % SiO 2 : FOB Havre St-Pierre port = please contact Michel Boux Dolomite mesh powder prices will be available soon. 16
