CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This presentation contains “forward-looking information” within the meaning of Canadian Securities legislation. Generally, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “scheduled”, “anticipates”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “scheduled”, “targeted”, or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”. Forward- looking statements contained herein include, without limitation, statements relating to mineral reserve estimates, mineral resource estimates, realization of mineral reserve and resource estimates, capital and operating costs estimates, the timing and amount of future production, costs of production, success of mining operations, the ranking of the project in terms of cash cost and production, permitting, economic return estimates, power and storage facilities, life of mine, social, community and environmental impacts, rare metal markets and sales prices, off-take agreements and purchasers for the Company’s products, environmental assessment and permitting, securing sufficient financing on acceptable terms, opportunities for short and long term optimization of the Project, and continued positive discussions and relationships with local communities and stakeholders. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions management believes to be reasonable at the time such statements are made. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Although Matamec has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from expected results described in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: Matamec’s ability to secure sufficient financing to advance and complete the Project, uncertainties associated with Matamec’s resource and reserve estimates, uncertainties regarding global supply and demand for rare earth materials and market and sales prices, uncertainties associated with securing off-take agreements and customer contracts, uncertainties with respect to social, community and environmental impacts, uncertainties with respect to optimization opportunities for the Project, as well as those risk factors set out in the Company’s year-end Management Discussion and Analysis dated December 31, 2012 and other disclosure documents available under the Company’s profile at Forward-looking statements contained herein are made as of the date of this presentation and Matamec 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 securities laws. 2

MATAMEC – FOCUSSED ON RARE EARTHS Matamec Founded in 1997 Headquartered in Montreal Mining properties in Quebec/Ontario $35 Million Invested Rare Earths Kipawa JV Deposit with Toyota First NI FS Filed Simple Metallurgy $28 Million Invested Gold Near Major Gold Producers Partners to Fund NSR Potential $7 Million Invested 3

MATAMEC GOLD – UPSIDE POTENTIAL Gold Properties:  Near major producers  Partners to fund  NSR potential Spinoff in progress 4

MATAMEC RARE EARTHS – LONG TERM GROWTH Enriched in Heavies  First NI FS Filed  Low Cost Project  Simple Metallurgy  Highest Environmental Standards Kipawa Project 5

HEAVIES ESSENTIAL FOR GREEN TECHNOLOGIES  Soaring demand in technology - HRE to be in short supply next 5 to 10 years  China to increasingly restrict exports for domestic industry  China to import HREEs for domestic industry Governments are believing in HRE in the USA, Canada and Quebec 6

QUEBEC STRATEGY FOR ELECTRIFICATION OF TRANSPORT 7

KIPAWA - “IT’S ALL ABOUT THE GEOLOGY” S imple recovery process – 1 st open-pit deposit with reliable, known metallurgical process Excellent location – Quebec - skilled workforce, proximity to markets and infrastructure Toyota paid $16 million – searched over 400 projects worldwide and selected Kipawa Winner of Prestigious award “Quebec Entrepreneur of the Year” – November, 2013 “The best source for a sustained quantity of HREEs is Matamec's HREE mineral-bearing deposit in Kipawa, Quebec.” Dr. Anthony Mariano – Gold Report, August

KIPAWA PROJECT: CLEAR PROCESS Heavy and Light rare earth concentrates Eudialyte - Mosandrite Minerals: 90% RE contents Process Plan: 3 Steps Open Pit – Mine Life 15 Years Mineral Reserves: % TREO 9

ZEUS PROPERTY – FUTURE GROWTH Toyota JVA boundary Zeus Property boundary  Zeus: 22,172 hectares  Kipawa: 1,298 hectares Many showings and drilling to discover much more! Zeus Property 10

UPCOMING MILESTONES 14

UPSIDE OPPORTUNITIES & OPTIMIZATION  Additional Upside Opportunities: –Mining: Room for pit design improvement at detailed engineering –Metallurgy:  Optimization testwork and 2 nd pilot plant to improve recoveries and reduce reagent consumption which leads to lower processing costs  Investigating the separation of individual REOs for a separation facility that produces high-purity products –Production Scale: Potential optimization concerning production rate scenarios in order to maximize the IRR on the project  Expansion: –Resources: Verification of lateral and down dip extension by drilling –By-Products: Testwork to recover zirconium and other by-products (minor metals) in the REE mineralized zones and in the syenite body 15
