Western Alaska Minerals is focused on advancing its 100% owned "Illinois Creek Mining District" (>73,000 acres) which contains targets originally discovered by Anaconda Minerals in the 1980s and was consolidated by the WAM management team over the past 10 years. The portfolio of five, high-grade, evolving mineral projects contain: gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc including a silver-rich Carbonate Replacement Deposit (CRD) and a NI 43-101 oxide gold resource at the Illinois Creek deposit.

Our board, management, and technical teams have track records exploring and progressing Tier 1 assets in Alaska including Donlin Creek, Greens Creek, and Bornite.

The company’s first-pass drill program at the Waterpump Creek (“WPC”) CRD target in 2021 intersected 9.1m (true thickness) @ 526 g/t Ag, 22.5% Zn & 14.4% Pb (1,886 g/t AgEq). WAM's 2022 drilling season continually intersected more bonanza-grade mineralization at Waterpump Creek, expanding the mineralized strike from 50m to 400m long.

  1. 1. TSX-V: WAM westernalaskaminerals.com Corporate Presentation: January 2023
  2. 2. Forward Looking Statements This presentation contains numerous forward-looking statements relating to Western Alaska Minerals Corp.’s exploration and potential mining business, including estimated production data, expected production and operating schedules, results of operations, reserves and resources, expected capital costs, mine plans, mine lives, other expected operating data, permitting and other regulatory approvals. Such forward-looking statements are identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “intends,” “expects,” “hopes,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “plan,” “projected,” “contemplates,” “anticipates”, “estimates”, “potential”, “likely” or similar words. Actual production, operating schedules, results of operations, reserves and resources, capital costs, mine plans, mine lives, permitting and regulatory approvals could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include: (i) the risk factors set forth in Western Alaska Minerals Corp.’s disclosures; (ii) risks and hazards inherent in the mining business (including risks inherent in discovering and developing large-scale mining projects, environmental hazards, industrial accidents, weather or geologically related conditions); (iii) changes in the market prices of gold, copper and silver and a sustained lower price environment; comparative valuations to peer exploration stage companies; (iv) uncertainties inherent in Western Alaska Minerals Corp.’s production, exploratory and developmental activities, including risks relating to permitting and regulatory delays, ground condition and grade variability; (v) any future labor disputes or work stoppages; (vi) uncertainties inherent in the estimation of mineral resources and reserves and future production; (vii) changes that could result from Western Alaska Minerals ’s future acquisition of new mining properties or businesses; (viii) reliance on third parties to operate certain mines where Western Alaska Minerals Corp. owns mineral production and; (ix) the absence of control over mining operations in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries holds royalty or streaming interests and risks related to these mining operations (including results of mining and exploration activities, environmental, economic and political risks and changes in mine plans and project parameters); (x) the loss of any third-party smelter to which Western Alaska Minerals Corp. markets copper, silver and gold; (xi) effects of environmental and other governmental regulations; (xii) risks inherent in the ownership or operation of or investment in mining properties or businesses in foreign countries; and (xiii) Western Alaska Minerals Corp.’s possible inability to raise additional financing necessary to conduct its business, make payments or refinance its debt. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Western Alaska Minerals Corp. disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All scientific and technical information contained in this presentation is derived from or supported by the Technical Report (the "Technical Report") prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 entitled "Western Alaska Minerals Corp. ILLINOIS CREEK PROJECT", prepared by Bruce Davis, Robert Sim, Jack DiMarchi and Deepak Malhotra with an effective date of January 15, 2021, which has been filed under the SEDAR profile of 1246779 B.C. Ltd on August 19, 2021. The scientific and technical information contained in this presentation has been reviewed and approved by Stuart Morris, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Morris is an independent consultant with a MS in Economic Geology and 40 plus years of experience in mineral resources, mine, and exploration He is a Registered Geologist with the British Columbia Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists (BC-APEG) No. 135066 and with the Arizona State Board of Technical Registration No. 16289. This presentation uses Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") under the guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM") Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (the "CIM Standards"). The CIM Standards differ significantly from standards in SEC Industry Guide 7 under the U.S. Securities Act ("SEC Industry Guide 7") and Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K for mining disclosures ("SubPart 1300 Standards") and may not be comparable to similar information made public by United States companies subject to reporting and disclosure requirements under United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. This presentation does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. None of the securities to be issued in the proposed concurrent financing or to be issued pursuant to the proposed RTO transaction have been or will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws, and any securities issued pursuant thereto will be issued in reliance upon available exemptions from such registration requirements. 2

Each proportional share is convertible to 100 common shares at the request of the shareholder and in the discretion of the Company. Because of these conversion rights, for market capitalization and financial analysis purposes, it is appropriate to convert the proportional shares to common shares and add the product of the conversion (approximately 23,900,000 shares) to the current number of common shares outstanding. Further information regarding the Company’s share structure is available upon request.
