other than statements of historical fact, included herein, including, without limitation, statements regarding future plans and objectives of the
Company, projected capital and operating expenses, permitting approvals, timetable to permitting and production and the prospective
mineralization of the properties, are forward-looking statements that involve various risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties. Generally,
forward looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is
expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "believes", or variations of such
words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved". There
can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, and actual results and future events could differ materially from those
anticipated in such statements. Forward-looking information is subject to known and unknown risks, including but not limited to: general business,
economic, competitive, geopolitical and social uncertainties; the actual results of current exploration activities; acquisition risks; and other risks of
the mining industry. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
contained in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. These
statements reflect the current internal projections, expectations or beliefs of Prophecy Development Corp. (“the Company” or “Prophecy”) and are
based on information currently available to the Company. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking information, except in
accordance with applicable securities laws.
The technical content of the Company’s presentation was reviewed and approved by Christopher M. Kravits CPG, LPG., who is a Qualified Person
within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Kravits is a consultant to the Company and serves as its qualified person and general mining

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated or Inferred Resources – The information presented uses the terms
“measured”, “indicated” and “inferred” mineral resources. United States investors are advised that while such terms are recognized and required by
Canadian regulations, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize these terms. “Inferred mineral resources” have a
great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an
inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the
basis of feasibility or other economic studies. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated
mineral resources will ever be converted into mineral reserves. United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an
inferred mineral resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.

October 2016: Prophecy and Canadian Embassy meet
Mining Minister
The Company considers its investment in the Pulacayo project to be safe. As reported in Mining Journal “At a UK-Bolivia
trade and investment forum in London this week, Félix César Navarro, minister of mining and metallurgy, talked of new
safeguards for foreign investors looking to put cash into the country. New contracts governing exploration, mining and
processing were currently going through Bolivia’s congress that would give foreign investors the legal security they need
to invest in the country, he said.“ (report by Mining Journal June 10, 2016) Affirmation of the Bolivian government’s
support and protection of foreign investment and mining were later received during the Company’s meetings with Mr.
Navarro in October and November 2016.

Prepared in accordance with the CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves referenced
in National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). The effective date of the
estimate is September 9, 2015. The mineral resource estimate was prepared by Mercator Geological Services
Limited (“Mercator”) under supervision of Michael Cullen, P.Geo., who is an independent Qualified Person within
the meaning of NI 43-101.

Notes:
Mineral resources are estimated in conformance the CIM Standards referenced in NI 43-101.
Raw silver assays were capped at 1,050 g/t, raw lead assays were capped at 5% and raw zinc assays were capped at 5%.
Silver equivalent Ag Eq. (g/t) = Ag (g/t) + (Pb% * (US$0.94/lb. Pb/14.583 Troy oz./lb./US$16.50 per Troy oz. Ag)*10,000) +
(Zn% * (US$1.00/lb. Zn/14.583 Troy oz./lb./US$16.50 per Troy oz. Ag)*10,000; 100% metal recoveries are assumed based
on lack of comprehensive metallurgical results.
Metal prices used in the silver equivalent calculation are US$16.50/Troy oz. Ag, US$0.94/lb Pb and US$1.00/lb. Zn and
reflect those used in the June 16, 2015 Pulacayo mineral resource estimate by Mercator.
Metal grades were interpolated within wireframed, three dimensional solids using Geovia-Surpac Ver. 6.7 software and
inverse distance squared interpolation methods. Block size is 5m (X) by 5m (Z) by 2.5m (Y). Historic mine void space was
removed from the model prior to reporting of resources.
The block density factor of 2.26 reflects the average value of 799 density measurements.
The mineral resource is considered to have reasonable expectation for economic development using underground
mining methods based on the deposit history, resource amount and metal grades, current metal pricing and comparison
to broadly comparable deposits elsewhere.
*Tonnes are rounded to nearest 10,000.
**Estimated by the Company.
***The resource estimate cut-off value is 300 g/t Ag Eq. and resource estimate values are presented in bold type.

Notes:
Mineral resources are estimated in conformance the CIM Standards referenced in NI 43-101.
Raw silver assays were capped at 1,700 g/t, raw lead assays were capped at 15% and raw zinc assays were capped
at 15%.
Silver equivalent Ag Eq. (g/t) = Ag (g/t)*89.2% + (Pb% *(US$0.94/ lb. Pb /14.583 Troy oz./lb./US$16.50 per Troy oz.
Ag)*10,000*91.9%) + (Zn% *(US$1.00/lb. Zn/14.583 Troy oz./lb./US$16.50 per Troy oz. Ag)*10,000*82.9%).
Metal prices used in the silver equivalent calculation are US$16.50/Troy oz. Ag, US$0.94/lb Pb and US$1.00/lb. Zn.
Metal recoveries of 89.2% Ag 91.9% Pb 82.9% Zn used in the silver equivalent reflect historic metallurgical results
disclosed by Apogee Silver Ltd.
Metal grades were interpolated within wireframed, three dimensional silver domain solids using Geovia-Surpac Ver.
6.6.1 software and inverse distance squared interpolation methods. Block size is 10m(X) by 10m(Z) by 2m(Y).
Historic mine void space was removed from the model prior to reporting of resources.
Block density factors reflect three dimensional modeling of drill core density determinations.
Mineral resources are considered to have reasonable expectation for economic development using underground
mining methods based on the deposit history, resource amount and metal grades, current metal pricing and
comparison to broadly comparable deposits elsewhere.
Rounding of figures may result in apparent differences between tonnes, grade and contained ounces.
*Tonnes are rounded to nearest 10,000.
**Estimated by the Company.
***Mineral resource statement cut-off value; resource statement values are presented in bolded form.

•Disclose per NI 43-101 (at 500g/t AgEq cut off) resource estimate at Pulacayo Underground
•Disclose per NI 43-101 (at 300g/t AgEq cut off) resource estimate at Paca Open Pit
• Evaluate concentrate off take agreements and project financing
• Evaluate mill purchase options for 500 tpd operation (annual mining rate > 140,000 tonnes)
• Mining and construction decisions (minimize CapEx): equipment rental, toll milling
• Conclude off take contract and modest financing
A positive production decision would not be based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical
viability so would carry increased uncertainty and the risk of failure as to the mining method and profitability

Titan (100%) Vanadium – Titanium – Iron Project
2016 Vanadium Pentoxide price exceeded US$5/lb, up 50% in the last 12 months.
Unlike lithium-ion batteries, Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRB) are not flammable and do not gradually lose
their capacity, which should mean long working lives (20 years) and therefore much lower costs.
VRBs are ideal for “grid constrained” solar and wind farms that currently struggle to sell their electricity at times
of peak production but cannot afford other forms of storage to store unsold electricity in order to sell during
non-peak times. In June 2016, Japan's Hokkaido Electric Power (HEPCO) and Sumitomo Electric Industries (SEI)
have installed a 15 MW vanadium redox storage system on the northern island of Hokkaido.

* The historic Pulacayo deposit mineral resource estimate by Mercator that was prepared for Apogee has an
effective date of September 28, 2012. The same estimate and associated model were subsequently used as the
39
www.prophecydev.com
TSX : PCY | OTC: PRPCF | Frankfurt: 1P2N
resource base of the Pulacayo project feasibility study prepared by TWP Sudamerica Ltd., with an effective date of
January 17, 2013. Results of both projects were disclosed previously by Apogee in accordance with NI 43-101 and
are now historic in nature. The historical estimate is not considered reliable because it is four years old. It is
presented here to assist the reader when considering the current Pulacayo deposit resource estimate. Though some
of the methods and assumptions used in the historical estimate are still valid, others are not. The historical estimate
assumed a 42° pit wall slope for the open pit resources. The key parameters included an NSR cut-off of US$13.20 for
open pit sulfide resources and US$23.10 for open pit oxide resources, and US$58.00 for underground resources
below 4159 m ASL, metal prices of US$25.00/oz silver, US$0.89/lb lead, and US$1.00/lb zinc where lead and zinc do
not contribute to revenue in the oxide zone, and contributing 1.0 meter assay composites were capped at 1500 g/t
Ag, 15% Pb, and 15% Zn. The key methods included use of inverse distance squared algorithm to estimate grade,
variography to assess grade distribution, and use of a proprietary NSR calculator. The historical estimate uses the
same resource categories described in Sections 1.2 and 1.3 of NI 43-101. The historical estimate does not include
any more recent estimates or data available to the issuer. The work needed to upgrade the historical estimate as
current mineral resources is to use current metal prices in the NSR calculation. A qualified person has not done
sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources. The Company is not treating the
historical estimate as current mineral resources.

* The historic Paca deposit mineral resource estimate by Micon was prepared for Apogee and has an effective date
of January 16, 2007. The estimate was disclosed previously by Apogee in accordance with NI 43-101 and is now
historic in nature. It is presented here to assist the reader in considering the current Paca deposit resource estimate.
The historical estimate is not considered relevant or reliable because it is over ten years old. Though some methods
and assumptions used are still valid others are not. The historical estimate assumed the up-dip and down-dip limits
of the mineralization domains to be the lesser of half of the distance to the next barren drill hole or 25 metres, not to
cap grade values, and a 45° pit wall slope for the open pit resources. The key parameters included a gross metal
value cut-off of US$20 for mineralized areas and metal prices of US$10.43/oz silver, US$0.55/lb lead, and US$1.30/lb
zinc. The key methods included use of length weighted composite calculation, inverse distance squared algorithm to
estimate grade, variography to assess grade distribution, and a proprietary NSR calculator. The historical estimate
uses the same resource categories described in Sections 1.2 and 1.3 of NI 43-101. The historical estimate does not
include any more recent estimates or data available to the issuer. The work needed to upgrade the historical
estimate as current mineral resources is to use current metal prices. A qualified person has not done sufficient work
to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources. The Company is not treating the historical estimate as

Chandgana Power Project Benefits to Mongolia
• Contribute to pollution reduction – Various studies have linked Ulaanbaatar air pollution to respiratory death
and women miscarriages. Chandgana power plant will eliminate the need for additional power plants in
Ulaanbaatar, reduce dependence on Power Plants #3 and #4, and reduce emission of harmful nitrogen and
sulphur oxides and particulates.
• Save water, coal transportation and operational cost – Chandgana power plant will be built next to the
Chandgana coal mine, 300 km east of Ulaanbaatar. This will avoid transporting 2 to 4 million tonnes of coal to
congested city (more than 100 wagons per day). Water will be extracted from the mine so avoids sharing
precious water resource (up to 6 million tonnes per year, 16,000 tonnes per day) within city of Ulaanbaatar.
Water scarcity problem exists in Ulaanbaatar, and is expected to intensify in the future. Assuming each
Ulaanbaatar resident consumes 20 liters of water a day, a new power plant will take water away from about
800,000 residents annually as estimated by the Company.
• Relief on power supply shortage – Chandgana power plant is planned to supply power to Mongolia by 2021.
Mongolia GDP roughly doubles every 5 years mostly from mining. Current installed capacity is 1150MW with
demand expected to increase at least 36% by 2021 as estimated by the Company.
• Energy independence – Chandgana power plant project will reduce expensive power import from Russia and
China, and help achieve Mongolia’s energy independence. Prophecy’s proposed electricity tariff will be less than
for imported electricity.

TSX : PCY | OTC: PRPCF | Frankfurt: 1P2N
Chandgana Power Project Benefits to Mongolia
• Stabilization of transmission grid – Prophecy will finance a transmission line from Baganuur to Chandgana in
phase 1, and a Chandgana to Choir transmission line in phase 2. Chandgana is 300 km away from Ulaanbaatar,
150 km from Choir (further to South Gobi) and 120 km from Choibalsan. Therefore, it can potentially provide
power to Ulaanbaatar and southern and eastern Mongolia.
• Project readiness – Chandgana power plant project is 6 years under development with plant design, construction
license, environmental impact assessment, land use rights, and mining license obtained. Construction can start
right after Concession Agreement, PPA, Tariff Agreement and Financial Close, with remaining work completed
concurrently.
• Extension to Coal to Gas and Coal to Liquid projects – Chandgana is next to a highway, has plenty of land and is
within a coal basin containing an estimated 3.5 billion tonnes of coal resources. Once the power project is
operational, it is a natural progression to develop coal to gas and coal to liquid projects.
