FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This presentation contains statements and information that constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation, referred toherein as "forward‐looking statements“. These statements include, among others, statements with respect to the amount of mineral resources, delivery of anupdated Feasibility Study, including but not limited to, gold and silver price assumptions, exchange rate assumptions, cash flow forecasts, project capital andoperating costs, refining costs, royalties, credits, sustaining and closure costs, processing rates, metal or mineral recoveries, recovery methods, mine life and annualoperating periods, construction and commissioning period and other anticipated timelines, closure and reclamation plans, production rates, estimated net presentvalue, internal rates of return and payback periods, the Company’s potential plans and operating performance; the estimation of the tonnage, grades and content ofdeposits and the extent of the resource and reserve estimates; potential production and viability of the Red Mountain Project as set out in the 2017 FeasibilityStudy; environmental approval plans and anticipated timing of environmental approvals, completion of a Benefits Agreement, opportunities to enhance the value ofthe Red Mountain Project, capital cost reduction opportunities and other plans and objectives of IDM. These statements address future events and conditions and,as such, involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materiallydifferent from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the statements. Such factors include, among others and in addition tothose described elsewhere in this presentation, delays in obtaining or inability to obtain required government or other regulatory approvals, permits or financing,the risk of unexpected variations in mineral resources or reserves, grade or recovery rates, of failure of plant, equipment, processes or infrastructure to operate asanticipated, of accidents, labour disputes, and unanticipated delays in completing other development activities, the risk that estimated costs will be higher thananticipated and the risk that the proposed mine plan and recoveries will not be achieved, equipment breakdowns and bad weather, the timing and success of futureexploration and development activities, exploration and development risks, mineral resources or reserves are not as estimated, title matters, third party consents,operating hazards, metals prices, political and economic factors, actions by governmental or regulatory authorities including changes in tax laws or incentiveprograms, competitive factors and general economic conditions. In making the forward-looking statements the Company has applied several material assumptions,including, but not limited to, the assumptions that: required approvals, permits and financing will be obtained on a timely basis; the proposed exploration anddevelopment will proceed as planned; with respect to mineral resource and reserve estimates, the key assumptions and parameters on which such estimates arebased are accurate; that the proposed mine plan and recoveries will be achieved; that capital costs, sustaining costs, other costs referred to herein, royalties andtaxes will be as estimated; and that no unforeseen accident, fire, ground instability, flooding, labor disruption, equipment failure, metallurgical, environmental orother events that could delay or increase the cost of the development will occur, and market fundamentals will result in sustained metals and mineral prices. Actualresults may vary from those implied or projected by forward-looking statements and therefore investors should not place undue reliance on such statements. Theforward-looking statements herein are made as of the date of this presentation and the Company expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to update or reviseany forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise except as required by applicable securities legislation.

Closed $4.3 million financing April, 2018

Resource Update announced June, 2018: 20.7% increase in M&I ounces to 704,600 at 7.9 g/t Au and 22.7 g/t Ag

Updated Feasibility Study to incorporate new resources and value optimization from previous 2017 Study

EA/EIS Review Process nearing completion

IBA Negotiations with Nisga’a Nation nearing completion

Underground access opened for season; trenching underway at Lost Valley

Exploring M&A Opportunities

IDM Mining Value Proposition

4

Potential Construction Start within 1 Year: near-term, high-grade underground gold deposit in a pro-mining jurisdiction

Low Permitting Risk: project de-risking imminent through EA Certificate Approval and IBA with Nisga’a expected during summer of 2018

Undervalued: Company in the typical pre-development trough; below comparable development stage $/NAV

High-grade and Low-cost: Near-surface bulk mineable, high-grade, well-drilled and potentially high-margin producer at an affordable capex

Feasibility Study Update for 2018: potential changes to mining method and mineral processing may significantly reduce operating and sustaining costs

Growing Resource Base: significant exploration upside throughout property; updated 2018 resource estimate

Corporate Flexibility: Potential Golden Triangle operating synergies, M&A and exploration opportunities with other junior companies
