Corporate Presentation: November 2022
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.

*The purpose of the Proportional Shares is to allow the
Company to qualify as a foreign private issuer under United
States securities laws. 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.

 One of the few early-stage silver projects based on grade in the
development pipeline
 Thickness of intervals cut in WPC22-17 & 18 point to fast growth of
tonnage at Waterpump Creek
 Grades on a par or even greater than that seen at the largest
primary silver producers in the world
 Scale of the yet to be explored system footprint is on a par with the
largest worldwide CRD systems
20
 Grades encountered to date show bonanza-grade silver values,
base metal credits high enough to cover operating costs: a true
silver leveraged opportunity
Takeaways
✔ Unique Opportunity
✔ Fast Resource Growth
✔ Highly Leveraged to Silver
✔ Exceptional Grade
✔ Major Exploration

  • 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.
