Robust Premium - All-share consideration of C$0.40 per share which represents a strong premium of approximately 49.1% relative to the closing price of Gatling common shares on the TSXV on March 10, 2022, and a 47.4% premium relative to the Company’s 5-day VWAP;

Board and Shareholder Support - Strong shareholder support via voting support agreements from Sprott Asset Management and the officers and directors of Gatling, for the common shares, options and warrants held by such parties which collectively represent approximately 15.19% of Gatling’s issued and outstanding common shares.

Re-rate Potential - Exposure to MAG Silver and its world-class, 44%-owned Juanicipio project in Mexico which is scheduled to reach 85 – 90% design capacity by YE2022, as well as retaining optionality to further growth at the Larder project;

Tier I Miner – MAG Silver is run by an exceptional, technically-inclined team, with a strong balance sheet and access to capital, providing our shareholders with increased liquidity and asset diversification; and

Crystallization of Value - The Transaction provides certainty of value while limiting future dilution risk.

This presentation contains certain statements that may be deemed “forward-looking statements”. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address events or developments that Gatling Exploration Inc. expects to occur, are forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, but not always identified by the words “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “intends”, “estimates”, “projects”, “potential” and similar expressions, or that events or conditions “will”, “would”, “may”, “could” or “should” occur.

Although Gatling Exploration Inc. believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future

performance and actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include market prices, exploration and production successes or failures, continued availability of capital and financing, inability to obtain required shareholder or regulatory approvals, and general economic market or business conditions.

Forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, estimates and opinions of Gatling’s management on the date the statements are made.

Gatling’s Detailed Approach and Analysis of Large Datasets

• > 345,000 meters drilled property-wide

• Property-wide sampling and geophysical surveys

• LiDAR and AI surveys completed to generate new regional targets

• Accurate sampling and mapping delivers robust surface exploration results

• Gatling’s consolidation of all datasets allows for long term strategic planning for all exploration

• Multiple milestones achieved since 2019 over continuous drilling and surface exploration including a new 2021 MRE and extending Bear up plunge from the core of the deposit

• Two main gold zones are modelled: the North and South zones• All three deposits are open at depth and along strike• 2022 Drilling will focus Fernland/Cheminis pit connections, plunge extensions across all 3 deposits and

• Minimum thickness modeled was 1.0 m to reflect the narrow vein geometry of the deposits• Modelling respects geological contacts between mafic volcanics, sediments and ultramafics and
