• 50 Million tonnes of 23% Mg ore (tailings), already mined and under contract paid for at $1.00/tonne (+CPI) as it is used.

• Equates to 11 Million tonnes of Mg metal, equivalent to 22 Million oz. of Gold (Au)

• Optimum serviced plant site, on road and rail and adjoining the tailings stockpile.

• Experienced management team and local skilled labour force.

• Unique, modular, low capex, rapid commercialization and expansion concept.

• Adjoins world’s largest Mg market and with NAFTA, no countervailing duties to export to the USA.

Magnesium: Uses

• The primary uses of Mg are in aluminum alloying, Mg die-casting, desulfurization of steel, titanium production and synthesis of special Mg chemicals and is now being considered for use as a Lithium replacement in batteries.

• Mg is the lightest of all structural metals with a density 78% lower than steel and 35% lower than aluminum.

• Currently China produces more than 80% of the world’s supply of Mg, using an environmentally unfriendly and labor-intensive technology (the Pidgeon Process).

• High import duties have restricted the use of Chinese Mg (metal, wallboard, etc. in the U.S.

CSE: MDD | FSE:304 | OTCQB: MGPRF

Why Magnesium?

• Some materials are able to impact our current techno-lives and Magnesium, Magnesium Oxide and Lithium are three such materials. The auto and steel industry are two of the main users of Mg.

• Automakers, with an aim to decreasing weight without sacrificing strength, are increasing their use of Mg in order to improve both fuel economy and mileage with the new U.S.A. EPA/CAFE emissions standards.

“….estimates that by 2020, 250 pounds of magnesium will replace 500 pounds of steel and 90 pounds of magnesium will replace 130 pounds of aluminum per vehicle, resulting in an overall 15% weight reduction.”

CSE: MDD | FSE:304 | OTCQB: MGPRF BUSINESS DIRECTION AND PLANS FOR PROJECTS

• Mag One’s original concept was to have an operating MgO plant (by early 2017) producing 5000 tonnes/year of magnesium oxide, (“MgO”) and/or magnesium hydroxide, (“Mg(OH)2”. This plant was to be followed by the initial Mg metal plant producing 5000 tonnes/year, (“tpy”).

• Based on results of testing of the tailings, the Company hired SNC-Lavalin* to do a scoping study/review of Mag One’s business plan. Based on SNC’s recommendations and along with additional geological work, coupled with certain governmental permitting conditions, the current direction of Mag One has been modified accordingly.

• The Company’s 50 million-tonne tailings stockpile has a grade of 23% Mg representing 11,500,000 tonnes of available magnesium for recovery. These tailings also contain 38.5% Silica (SiO2), 5% Iron (Fe) and potentially, commercial amounts of Nickel (Ni).

• The Company has developed a novel process for recovery of high purity MgO, a silica based product, an iron product and a nickel precipitate from the tailings material. The MgO is expected to be a high-value product and forms the feedstock to the Company’s future production of Mg metal. The silica product is expected to be saleable to the high-performance concrete industry and may also form a basis for the manufacture of high-value silicon products.

• *SNC-Lavalin is one of the leading engineering and construction groups in the world and a major player in the ownership of infrastructure. From offices in over 50 countries, SNC-Lavalin's teams provide engineering, procurement construction, completions and commissioning services together with a range of sustaining capital services to clients in our four industry sectors, oil and gas, mining and metallurgy, infrastructure and power. SNC-Lavalin can also combine these services with its financing and operations and maintenance capabilities to provide complete end-to-end project solutions.

MgO Pilot Plant

• It was determined that a pilot plant was required to fully explore the market, financial benefits and commercial viability of producing a range of products from the tailings. The added benefit to the Company is to convert the majority of the tailings into saleable products which will minimize the requirement for ongoing waste management at the site in Quebec, Canada

• Working closely with our partners and advisors in the Mg and concrete industries, and based on the keen interest of several potential buyers/users in exploring offtake agreements, as well as potential investors, all expressed they would like to see the quality of the products as produced with the pilot plant, in order to consider both offtake agreements and/or more serious investment in the Company.

• The SNC-Lavalin study team believes that the economic feasibility of the pilot plant for tailings leaching, benefits significantly from larger scale. With SNC’s advice and with input on permitting requirements for a tailings leaching plant, the BASE CASE processing plant size has been set at 18,000 tonnes/year of MgO product. The Company will continue to evaluate the “right size” for investment and production at their site.

• The Quebec Government has encouraged the Company to first construct Phase I. of the tailings leaching pilot plant. City and local governments at the Mag One site also strongly support the pilot and commercial development plans of the Company.

• The design of the Company’s flagship Mg metal production process will continue in parallel. It is understood that the first step necessary in producing high quality, high purity (99%) Mg metal, is to produce high quality MgO (99%).

• Mag One has already selected the land/site for the pilot plant near the tailings site and equipment selection, procurement and construction is expected to start immediately.

PROJECT I: Magnesium Wallboard Panels • Mag One, via its wholly-owned Quebec operating subsidiary,

Mag One Operations Inc., has a 50:50 Joint Venture with MagBoard LLC, a private California company.

• The JV is called, Magboard Products Inc. (“MPI”) A building has been secured adjoining the tailings site in Quebec, in which MPI will be assembling Mg-based wallboard panels, specifically the ROK-ONTM Structural Insulated Sheathing. These panels are basically fire, rot and termite-proof and can be used structurally. At the moment, only China produces Mg-based wallboards.

• The North American wallboard market exceeds 30 Billion square feet annually. MPI’s capacity it set for 30Million sq.ft/year, (or only 0.1% of the current market).

• As this sheathing conforms to all N. American building codes, in addition to being a superior product, has a cost less than conventional gyproc/plywood panels and with fewer stages, projects are finished faster. The CAPEX is budgeted at $4Million and producing only 5,000,000 sq.ft a year is targeted to net $2.5Million in the first full year of production.

Production of Magnesium Oxide, (“MgO”) and Magnesium Hydroxide, Mg(OH)2 of various grades (from 80% to 99.5% purity)

PROJECT II: MgO Plant

Mag One’s proprietary technology is to be used to process the 23% Mg serpentinite tailings. Initial emphasis will be on high-value, high-purity (in excess of 99%) MgO and Mg(OH)2.

Wide range of uses for both products and Mag One has overcome the traditional difficulty of economically achieving 99% purity. Ultrapure grade is used to produce Mg metal and specialty needs such as smoke suppressants and fire-fighting agents. Lower grades are used in the manufacturing of Mg wallboards, fertilizers, de-icing agents, etc.

Initial processing plant capacity: 18,000 tonnes/annum of MgO. Construction start in 2017.

Additional byproducts have been identified: Silica, Ferrosilicon and Nickel, via a peer review by SNC-Lavalin. As a result of SNC’s work, Mag One will be producing a pilot plant with the support of the Quebec Government to determine the commercial feasibility of these byproducts.

CSE: MDD | FSE:304 | OTCQB: MGPRF

PROJECT III: Magnesium Metal• Mag One’s proprietary, game-changing, Mg-processing technology is targeted to

produce 99.9% wt. pure Mg metal at a cost much lower than its competitors, and perhaps lower than Al, using its own production of MgO in Quebec.

• Cost reduction due in part to the modular-plant expansion strategy to keep capital expenditures lower than traditional plants, as well as infrastructure and other benefits for the operation being located in Quebec, Canada.

• Basically free ore, ongrade and a 100+ year supply (based on expected Mg production aim of 100,000 tonnes/annum capacity).

• Increase in demand for Mg, such as automotive, aerospace, batteries, smartphones, etc.

• Largest customer, USA, and with NAFTA, no huge countervailing duties to export there (as the Chinese have).

• Initial 5,000 tonne/year modular plant has a projected CAPEX of $35 Million OPEX of $1400/tonne. Mag One plans to build up to 20 modules as demand and sales increase and financing is arranged.

CSE: MDD | FSE:304 | OTCQB: MGPRF

Value Proposition • Mag One Products Inc., (“Mag One”) is not a mining company but a technology and

production company.• Magnesium is often referred to as “the metal of the future” with demand expected

to increase 5% each year.

• Our mandate is to produce, very economically, magnesium-based panels, (ROK-ONTM structural insulated sheathing), various grades of magnesium oxide (MgO) and magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) as well as ultrapure magnesium (Mg) metal and certain saleable Mg-compounds and Mg-byproducts and co-products (Si, Ni, etc.)

• In addition, we are currently researching whether our proprietary processing technology used in the production of Mg, could be adapted to produce Lithium (Li).

• Mag One’s two main assets are not reflected in the balance sheet due to the method of acquisition. The 50 Million-tonne “mined” ore is only paid for at the rate of $1.00/tonne as we use it. Secondly, the patented, patents-pending proprietary technology is owned by the Company—no royalty or lease payments. Moreover, the technology is only paid for when Mag One generates net earnings from use of the technology.

• The scope of operation is unlimited due to the vast amount of Mg-rich tailings. There is sufficient ore (already owned or available) to supply the Global Magnesium and Mg-compounds for an indefinite period of time. Furthermore, the size of Mag One’s operations will be limited only by its ability to raise the necessary funding.
