Forward Looking Information
This presentation may contain forward-looking statements that are not historical facts.
Forward Looking Information includes, but is not limited to, disclosure regarding possible
events, conditions or financial performance that is based on assumptions about future
economic conditions and courses of action; the timing and costs of future exploration
activities on Dolly Varden Silver Corporation (“Dolly Varden”) properties; success of
exploration activities; permitting timelines and requirements; requirements for additional
capital; environmental requirements; planned exploration and development of properties
and the results thereof; planned expenditures and budgets and the execution thereof.
Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words
such as “expects,” “plans,” “estimates,” “intends,” “believes,” “could,” “might,” “will”,
“budget”, “scheduled”, “forecasts”, “anticipates”, “potential”, “base case” or variations of
such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may",
"could", "would", "might" or "will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved". Forward-looking
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may
cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of Dolly Varden to be materially
different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by
the forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements or information relates to,
among other things, Dolly Varden’s corporate strategies, mineral resource estimates and
plans for further exploration, which will require additional funding. These forward-looking
statements are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs (including the
belief in the accuracy of the resource estimate) but given the uncertainties, assumptions
and risks, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking
statements or information. Information in this presentation is not intended to be a
comprehensive review of all matters and developments concerning Dolly Varden and Dolly
Varden does not assume any obligation to update, or to publicly announce, any such
statements, events or developments, except as required by law.

The technical information in this website (the "Technical Information") has been approved
by Ben Whiting, P.Geo., V.P. of Exploration of Dolly Varden and a Qualified Person. For
readers to understand the information in this presentation, they should read the technical
report (available www.sedar.com) in its entirety (the "Technical Report"), including all
qualifications, assumptions and exclusions that relate to the information set out in this
presentation that qualifies the Technical Information. The Technical Report is intended to
be read as a whole, and sections or summaries should not be read or relied upon out of
context. The Technical Information in the Technical Report is subject to the assumptions
and qualifications contained therein.
Some of the mineral resources at the Dolly Varden Property are categorized as indicated
and some as inferred mineral resources. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves
do not have demonstrated economic viability. Mineral resource estimates do not account
for mineability, selectivity, mining loss and dilution. These mineral resource estimates
include inferred mineral resources that are normally considered too speculative
geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to
be categorized as mineral reserves. There is also no certainty that these inferred mineral
resources will be converted to measured and indicated categories through further drilling,
or into mineral reserves, once economic considerations are applied.
For additional information on risks and uncertainties, see Dolly Varden’s most recently
filed annual management discussion & analysis (“MD&A”), which is available on SEDAR at

Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate
Room to Grow
• Zinc and lead contents, known to exist in the deposits, were not
included in the mineral resource estimate due to sparsity of lead and
zinc assay data (not assayed in pre-2011 drill holes).
• Specific gravity (SG) data was also very conservatively modeled due to
sparsity of data. Known presence of barite and sulfides will likely result
in higher SG of rock, resulting in greater tonnage.
• Significant volumes of historic (non-compliant) resource estimate were
not included in the current estimate due to lack of data. Further drilling
will allow adding this material to future resource estimates.
• Deposits are open along strike and down dip in some areas
Please refer to the Company’s updated Technical Report filed on www.sedar.com for further details. The Qualified Person for this
mineral resource estimate is G.H. Giroux, M.A.Sc., P.Eng., who prepared the mineral resource estimate in compliance with the
standards of National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Giroux is independent of the Company.

TSX.V : DV  U.S. : DOLLF
DV property contains the same depositional host rocks as the Eskay Creek deposit.
Hazelton Group rocks are gently folded and exhibit strong hydrothermal alteration
(Sodium depletion and Potassium enrichment).
Both VMS (volcanogenic massive sulfide) and epithermal vein deposits are proven to
exist.
Silver present as native silver and lead or zinc sulphide species.

Big Bulk Cu-Au Prospect
• In addition to the Dolly Varden Property, Dolly Varden Silver Corp, also
owns the Big Bulk Copper-Gold Prospect, located 10 km to the southeast
along the south shore of Kinskuch Lake.
• Big Bulk consists of 7 mineral claims for 2,640 hectares. It is
surrounded by the very large Kinskuch Project of Hecla Mining Limited.
• Big Bulk is in alkali porphyritic rocks of the Hazelton Group, with intensly
altered quartz monzonite intrusives. Analogues for Big Bulk are the
Sulphurets, KSM (Seabridge) and Red Mountain (IDM Mining) deposits.
• Intermittent exploration programs have taken place over several
decades. Channel sampling on the Bonnie Zone yielded 27.9 m
averaging 1.25% Cu and 1.0 g/t Au.
• Short historic drilling programs have been conducted. Hole AGA01
yielded 0.31 % Cu over 54 m from 67 to 121 m, plus 4.0 g/t Au over 10
m from 427 to 437 m.
