Economy & Finance

Azincourt Uranium is a uranium explorer focused on Canada’s Athabasca Basin – the world’s leading source of high-grade uranium. The company’s management team has a strong track record of success and is led by former Cameco Exploration Director, Ted O’Connor. Azincourt recently partnered with the Athabasca Basin’s leading exploration company, Fission Uranium, to explore the highly prospective Patterson Lake (PLN) property.

PLN lies in an under-explored area of the Athabasca Basin. It is immediately adjacent to Patterson Lake South – host to Fission’s recent major high-grade discovery. In addition, it is just 30 km south of the UEX/AREVA Anne and Collette uranium deposits near Shea Creek.

- Excellent leach characteristics using dilute acid (YEL/Solex and others)

Page 16: Azincourt Uranium Company Presentation

16AZINCOURT MINERGIA PLANS

Macusani Project- Restart active exploration after 2 year hiatus

- Community Agreements- Environmental Permitting- Resource Expansion Drilling- Refine Untested Targets and Drilling

- Commence Macusani Processing Work- Compile & Critique historical work- Consider Leach testing improvements- Determine Potential Project Economics

Muñani Project- Volcanic & sandstone-hosted U occurrences- Restart active exploration

- Community Agreements- Target Prioritization and Refinement

Page 17: Azincourt Uranium Company Presentation

17PERUVIAN CONSOLIDATION PLANS

Letter of Intent (LOI) with Macusani Yellowcake (YEL)

- YEL to acquire Minergia

- AAZ receives 68.35 M shares in YEL

- Joint Board & Management

- Emerging District with over 95 M lbs contained U3O8

- Due Diligence underway
