Cautionary Statements
Information set forth in this presentation contains forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions as of the date of this presentation. These statements reflect management's current estimates, beliefs, intentions and expectations. They are not guarantees of future performance. Words such as "expects", "anticipates", "targets", "goals", "projects", "intends", "plans", "believes", "seeks", "estimates", "continues", "may", variations of such words, and similar expressions and references to future periods, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Fortune Bay Corp. ("Fortune Bay" or the "Company") cautions that all forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and that actual performance may be affected by a number of material factors, many of which are beyond Fortune Bay's control. Such factors include, among other things: risks and uncertainties relating to metal prices, changes in planned work resulting from weather, logistical, technical or other factors, the possibility that results of work will not fulfill expectations and realize the perceived potential of Fortune Bay's mineral properties, uncertainties involved in the interpretation of drilling results and other tests, the possibility that required permits may not be obtained in a timely manner or at all, risk of accidents, equipment breakdowns or other unanticipated difficulties or interruptions, the possibility of cost overruns or unanticipated expenses in work programs, the risk of environmental contamination or damage resulting from the exploration operations, the need to comply with environmental and governmental regulations and the lack of availability of necessary capital, which may not be available to Fortune Bay acceptable to it, or at all. Fortune Bay is subject to the specific risks inherent in the mining business as well as general economic and business conditions. Accordingly, actual and future events, conditions and results may differ materially from the estimates, beliefs, intentions and expectations expressed or implied in the forward-looking information.

Technical Reports & Disclosures
Goldfields Project - Results for the Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") were announced on November 1, 2022 by way of a Company news release, available on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and the Company's website. The PEA was prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 by Ausenco Engineering Canada Inc. (effective date October 31, 2022), in collaboration with Moose Mountain Technical Services for the mine design, and SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. for the updated Mineral Resource Estimate and Environmental, Permitting and Social aspects of the Project plan. The PEA NI- 43-101 Technical Report is available on SEDAR+ and Fortune Bay's website.
Ixhuatán Project - A mineral resource estimate (the "2006 Resource Estimate Report") with an effective date of June 22, 2006, was prepared for the Campamento Deposit on the Ixhuatán Project by Gary H. Giroux, P.Eng for Linear Gold Corp. ("Linear"), a predecessor company of Fortune Bay. The mineral resources were classified according to the CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves: Definitions and Guidelines, August 2000 ("CIM 2000") and incorporated, by reference, into National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). The reader is cautioned that a Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the mineral resources stated in the 2006 Resource Estimate Report as current resources. Fortune Bay is not treating this historical estimate as a current mineral resource. While this estimate was prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and CIM 2000 in effect at the time, there is no guarantee that it would be consistent with current standards and it should not be regarded as such. Fortune Bay has not undertaken any independent verification of the data upon which the historical estimates are based. The historical estimate is considered relevant to assess the mineralization and economic potential of the property. Further important disclosure regarding historical estimates, in accordance with Section 2.4 of NI 43-101, is provided in Appendix 1 of this presentation.
A summary report for the Ixhuatán Project (the "2011 Summary Report"), with an effective date of May 18, 2011, was prepared by Philip K. Seccombe, PhD, MAIG of Equity Exploration Consultants Ltd. and Gary H. Giroux, P.Eng, in accordance with NI 43-101. The 2011 Summary Report was prepared for Cangold Limited ("Cangold") who previously optioned the property from Brigus (successor to Linear). The report provided an updated review of the project and included the mineral resource estimate from the 2006 Resource Estimate Report since no further holes had been drilled in the resource area since 2006. The 2011 Summary Report is filed on SEDAR+ under Cangold's issuer profile and is also available on Fortune Bay's website.
Historical Results - This presentation contains historical exploration results. Historical results have been compiled as accurately as possible from the various data sources referenced throughout this presentation. The Company has not verified these historical results, unless stated otherwise, and there is a risk that any future confirmation work and exploration may produce results that substantially differ from the historical results. The Company also cautions that historical results on adjacent properties are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the Project. The Company considers these historical results relevant to assess the mineralization and economic potential of the properties.

Key Opportunities - Expansion and Exploration
- Box Mineral Resource Expansion
- Pit expansion into deeper resources possible at higher gold prices.
- Deep drill results suggests presence of higher-grade "shoots". Additional drilling required to define continuity and assess underground mining economic potential.
- Athona Mineral Resource Expansion
- Smaller, on-land, shallow, mineralized "West Mine Granite" body requires additional drilling for resource estimation. Overlaps with current conceptual open-pit extent.
- Insufficient drill coverage south of the conceptual open-pit.
- Exploration Opportunities
- Frontier Mine Granite: Mineralized quartz veins in a small sill-like hematized "mine granite" host. Insufficient drilling/sampling for mineral resource estimation.
- Golden Pond: Mineralized quartz veins in granite, exposed at surface. Mineralization remains open.
- Triangle: Mineralized quartz veins in calcareous host. Not adequately drill tested.
- Goldfields Syncline: Historical drill hole between Box and Athona (LB-88-3) indicates a larger mineralization system, potential for additional discoveries.
