Forward-looking statements
This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of statements that include such words as “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”,
“plan”, “forecast”, “likely”, “may”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “suspect”, “outlook”, “potential”, “projected”, “continue” or other similar words or phrases. Specifically, forward-looking statements in this document include,
but are not limited to guidance and certain expectations about capital costs and expenditures; production volumes; capital project completion and ramp up dates; future price of key commodities; sales volumes;
revenue, costs, and earnings; sufficiency of working capital and capital project funding; results of on-going discussions regarding the partnership structure and future financing arrangements at the Ambatovy Joint
Venture; results of discussions regarding timing of ongoing Cuban payments; completion of development and exploration wells; and amounts of certain joint venture commitments.
Forward-looking statements are not based on historic facts, but rather on current expectations, assumptions and projections about future events. By their nature, forward-looking statements require the
Corporation to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties. There is significant risk that predictions, forecasts, conclusions or projections will not prove to be accurate, that those
assumptions may not be correct and that actual results may differ materially from such predictions, forecasts, conclusions or projections.
The Corporation cautions viewers of this presentation not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement as a number of factors could cause actual future results, conditions, actions or events to differ
materially from the targets, expectations, estimates or intentions expressed in the forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to changes in the global price
for nickel, cobalt, oil and gas or certain other commodities, share-price volatility, level of liquidity and access to capital resources, access to financing, risk of future non-compliance with debt restrictions and
covenants; risks associated with the Corporation’s joint venture partners; discrepancies between actual and estimated production; variability in production at Sherritt’s operations in Madagascar and Cuba;
potential interruptions in transportation; uncertainty of gas supply for electrical generation; uncertainty of exploration results and Sherritt’s ability to replace depleted mineral and oil and gas reserves; the
Corporation’s reliance on key personnel and skilled workers; the possibility of equipment and other failures; the potential for shortages of equipment and supplies; risks associated with mining, processing and
refining activities; uncertainty of resources and reserve estimates; uncertainties in environmental rehabilitation provisions estimates; risks related to the Corporation’s corporate structure; political, economic and
other risks of foreign operations; risks related to Sherritt’s operations in Madagascar and Cuba; risks related to the U.S. government policy toward Cuba, including the U.S. embargo on Cuba and the Helms-
Burton legislation; risks related to amounts owed to the Corporation by the Malagasy and Cuban governments; risks related to the accuracy of capital and operating cost estimates; reliance on significant
customers; foreign exchange and pricing risks; compliance with applicable environment, health and safety legislation and other associated matters; risks associated with governmental regulations regarding
greenhouse gas emissions; maintaining the Corporation’s social license to grow and operate; risks relating to community relat ions; credit risks; shortage of equipment and supplies; competition in product markets;
future market access; interest rate changes; risks in obtaining insurance; uncertainties in labour relations; uncertainty in the ability of the Corporation to enforce legal rights in foreign jurisdictions; uncertainty
regarding the interpretation and/or application of the applicable laws in foreign jurisdictions; legal contingencies; risks related to the Corporation’s accounting policies; risks associated with future acquisitions;
uncertainty in the ability of the Corporation to obtain government permits; failure to comply with, or changes to, applicable government regulations; bribery and corruption risks, including failure to comply with the
Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act or applicable local anti-corruption law; uncertainties in growth management; and certain corporate objectives, goals and plans for 2017; and the Corporation’s ability to
meet other factors listed from time to time in the Corporation’s continuous disclosure documents. Viewers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive and should be considered in conjunction
with the risk factors described in this presentation and in the Corporation’s other documents filed with the Canadian securities authorities.
The Corporation may, from time to time, make oral forward-looking statements. The Corporation advises that the above paragraph and the risk factors described in this presentation and in the Corporation’s other
documents filed with the Canadian securities authorities should be read for a description of certain factors that could cause the actual results of the Corporation to differ materially from those in the oral forward-
looking statements. The forward-looking information and statements contained in this presentation are made as of the date hereof and the Corporation undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any oral

Non-GAAP Measures
Management uses combined results, Adjusted EBITDA, average-realized price, unit operating cost, adjusted earnings, adjusted operating cash flow per share, free cash flow and Net Investment in Ambatovy to
monitor the financial performance of the Corporation and its operating divisions and believes these measures enable investors and analysts to compare the Corporation’s financial performance with its
competitors and evaluate the results of its underlying business. These measures do not have a standard definition under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of
performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. As these measures do not have a standardized meaning, they may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies.

…this demand is mostly met by Class I nickel but new
nickel supply is expected to be FeNi and NPI
• Today stocks of Class I nickel remain high
because of the increased availability of NPI,
FeNi and other Class II products
• But the strong forecast demand for class I
units could lead to a shortage of high purity
products
• The incentive nickel price to build additional
Class I nickel capacity is estimated to be
US$30,000 – US$50,000 per tonne of Ni
• the medium to long term, a gap could
emerge between Class I and Class II nickel
prices, with non-LME material subject to
significant discounts

Electric Vehicles (EVs) will also drive the increase in
cobalt demand
Source: CRU
• 30kt of cobalt will be consumed by electric vehicles in 2025 (vs. 8kt in 2016)
• There is no obvious substitute for cobalt in batteries and technology should remain stable in the medium term
Annual EV production and cobalt demand for EVs
The outlook for cobalt is very positive, especially in non-metallurgical applications due to
the rise of the EV industry

2017 production, NDCC and unit operating cost
guidance
• Nickel production is forecast to increase in 2017, especially in the Ambatovy JV where full year production
rates are expected to be in line with fourth quarter 2016 performance
(1) Unit Operating Cost guidance figures are based on by-product and input commodity price assumptions for 2017, which are subject to change
during the year, as cobalt, fertilizers, sulphur, West Texas Intermediate crude and fuel oil prices are typically volatile

2017 capital expenditure guidance - higher spending
on capital due to the Oil & Gas growth plan
Metals
• Lower capital spending at Moa, which is consistent with 2016 levels excluding the acid plant, is offset by
higher spending at Ambatovy required for additional mining fleet equipment and mine development works
• Sherritt is currently not funding capex at Ambatovy
Oil and Gas
• Completion of the first Block 10 well and the drilling of a second well (US$25 million),
• Equipment to support drilling in Block 10 (US$18 million)
• Shooting of seismic on Block 8A (US$7 million), which was deferred in 2016 but is required to satisfy the
commitment expenditure on the block
