Sherritt International Corporation (‘Sherritt’ or ‘the Corporation’) is a world leader in the mining and refining of nickel and cobalt. Its Technologies Group creates innovative, proprietary solutions for natural resource-based industries around the world to increase economic value and improve environmental performance. Sherritt’s strategic priority is to maintain a leadership position as a low-cost producer of finished nickel and cobalt, maximizing finished production and free cash flow while achieving peer-leading performance in environmental, health, safety and sustainability. The common shares of the Corporation are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “S”. Sherritt has a 50/50 partnership with General Nickel Company S.A. (GNC) of Cuba in the Moa Joint Venture. The Moa Joint Venture mines, processes and refines nickel and cobalt for sale worldwide, except in the United States. The Moa Joint Venture is a vertically-integrated joint venture that mines lateritic ore by open pit methods and processes them at its facilities at Moa, Cuba into mixed sulphides containing nickel and cobalt. The mixed sulphides are then transported to refining facilities in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta (the Fort Site). The Fort Site facilities provides inputs (ammonia, sulphuric acid and utilities) for the Moa Joint Venture metals refinery. Sherritt also has 100% ownership over the production of agricultural fertilizer, which is a byproduct of mineral production. Nickel and cobalt products from the joint venture are sold to various markets, primarily in Europe, Japan and China. Marketing and sales of the nickel and cobalt processes are supported by Sherritt’s wholly-owned corporation, based out of satellite offices in the Bahamas. Sherritt also has a wholly-owned Oil and Gas division that explores for and produces oil and gas primarily from reservoirs in close proximity to the coastline along the north coast of Cuba. Additionally, Sherritt retains a 33% share in Energas S.A. (Energas), which is a joint venture established to process raw natural gas and generate electricity for sale to the Cuban national electrical grid. Cuban government agencies Unión Eléctrica (UNE) and Unión Cubapetróleo (CUPET) hold the remaining two-thirds interest in Energas. |

|
In opting to facilitate this disclosure on our partner’s behalf, the total emissions attributed to Sherritt are overrepresented. The total of Scope 1 that can be attributed to Sherritt are 50% for the Moa and Fort Sites combined, and 33% for the OGP due to the level of ownership by Sherritt in each joint venture. Furthermore, any analysis conducted to assess the emission intensities of Sherritt’s businesses or product, should consider that the Sherritt’s metals business is comprised of the Fort and Moa Nickel sites and the OGP business is comprised of various other sites. Production totals for each separate business should be used to calculate emissions intensities. Data provided here is based on best available information recorded and reported by the operations. |

In opting to facilitate this disclosure on our partner’s behalf, the total emissions attributed to Sherritt are overrepresented. The total of Scope 2 emissions that can be attributed to Sherritt are 50% for the Moa and Fort Sites combined, and 33% for the OGP due to the level of ownership by Sherritt in each joint venture. Furthermore, any analysis conducted to assess the emission intensities of Sherritt’s businesses or product, should consider that the Sherritt’s metals business is comprised of the Fort and Moa Nickel sites and the OGP business is comprised of various other sites. Production totals for each separate business should be used to calculate emissions intensities. Data Table - Energy Indirect (Scope 2) GHG Emissions |

| The reporting organization shall report the following information: | ||||||||||||||||||
| Examples of significant positive indirect economic impacts of the organization |
• Economic development in areas of high poverty (such as changes in the total number of dependents supported through the income of a single job) • Economic impacts of improving or deteriorating social or environmental conditions (such as changing job market in an area converted from small farms to large plantations, or the economic impacts of pollution) • Availability of products and services for those on low incomes (such as preferential pricing of pharmaceuticals, which contributes to a healthier population that can participate more fully in the economy, or pricing structures that exceed the economic capacity of those on low incomes) • Enhanced skills and knowledge in a professional community or in a geographic location (such as when shifts in an organization’ s needs attract additional skilled workers to an area, who, in turn, drive a local need for new learning institutions) • Number of jobs supported in the supply or distribution chain (such as the employment impacts on suppliers as a result of an organization’s growth or contraction) • Stimulating, enabling, or limiting foreign direct investment (such as when an organization changes the infrastructure or services it provides in a developing country, which then leads to changes in foreign direct investment in the region) |

Reference - From 2021 MD&A: INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in NI 52-109. Internal control over financial reporting means a process designed by or under the supervision of the CEO and CFO, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. The internal controls are not expected to prevent and detect all misstatements due to error or fraud. Management advises that there have been no changes in the Corporation’s internal controls over financial reporting during 2021 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting. Management, with the participation of the certifying officers, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal controls over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2021, using the Internal Control- Integrated Framework published in 2013 by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO 2013 Framework). Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2021. |

Reference - From 2021 MD&A: DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in National Instrument 52-109 of the Canadian Securities Commission (NI 52-109). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that all relevant information is gathered and reported to management, including the CEO and CFO, on a timely basis so that appropriate decisions can be made regarding public disclosure. Management, with the participation of the certifying officers, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation, as of December 31, 2021, of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the certifying officers have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective and designed to ensure that material information known by others relating to the Corporation and its subsidiaries is provided to them. |
