Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to materially differ from those in such forward-looking statements is contained in the Company’s filings with the securities and regulatory authorities. Note: grade and tonnage historical estimates for Headway presented herein are historical in nature and were not prepared in accordance with and has not been verified by a qualified person. and should not be relied on except to represent an order-of-magnitude estimate of mineral resources notwithstanding that Sage believes the estimates are based on reliable information prepared by reputable individuals using accurate analytical techniques. Goldbrook provided the source of the Headway historical estimate. Sage currently plans on completing a reserve estimate and a prefeasibility study for the Clavos project. In the event that a production decision is made that is not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability prepared in accordance with National Instrument , readers are cautioned that there is increased uncertainty and higher risk of economic and technical failure associated with such production decisions.

Exploring for High Value VMS Deposits
Volcanic-hosted polymetallic sulfide (VMS) deposits are extremely attractive exploration targets: Mix of copper-lead-zinc-gold-silver Hedge against fluctuating metal prices Deposits can range from under 1 to over 100 million tonnes Large, discrete lenses of high value ore enables cost-effective mining Smaller surface and environmental footprint VHMS deposits tend to occur in clusters Additional discoveries often following one upon the other
20
Onaman Property: On the verge of discovery
Historical exploration (1940s) led to discovery of the Headway deposit, hosting 739,400 tons averaging 3.15% zinc and 31 g/t silver (Non-Compliant Historical Resource) Recent exploration (2000s) led to the discovery of the Lynx deposit with a Compliant Inferred Resource of million tonnes averaging 1.44% copper, 39.6 g/t silver and 0.58 g/t gold Both deposits fit perfectly within the context of a classic VMS setting, with the main deposit remaining to be found Historical and current geological mapping has documented numerous features associated with the VMS setting

Milestones ONAMAN CLAVOS Q3 2012 Fully Permitted
Q Complete surface mapping of the IBZ zone Mapping to identify new zone and link to previous Sage geophysics Analyzing previously discovered massive sulphide float bolder Q Interpretation of data with the aim of selecting drill targets in IBZ Q Acquired Strategic Property Q Surface Drill program CLAVOS Q Fully Permitted Q PEA Completed Q Enhanced resource modelling Finalizing all regulatory and logistical production requirements Q Purchased 40% minority interest Signed LOM milling contract Production approval Q Dewatering begins Q Surface Drill program Q Production begins
22
Why invest? Two properties, situated in established mining camps near industry players, offer production potential with low CAPEX, exploration upside and commodity diversification. Clavos – Dewatering, Drilling Q1 2017, Production Q3 2017, new Gold structures to be drilled Onaman - VMS targets selected, Acquired Strategic Property, Drilling Q1 2017 Rerating event – Project Financing – non-dilutive, Clavos Production, Onaman New Discoveries, Timmins camp consolidating Strong financial backing, and broad shareholder base.
23
With production, development and exploration stage assets consisting of both base and precious metals, an experienced and dedicated management team, commodity diversification and a renewed metals bull market underway, Sage is poised for significant appreciation.
