ABSTRACT:Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. (RPA) was retained by Alexco Resource Corp. (Alexco) to prepare a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA or the Study) on the Keno Hill Silver District Project (the Project), located in the Yukon Territory, Canada. The purpose of this report is to disclose the results of the PEA. This Technical Report conforms to National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101). RPA carried out a site visit from September 12 to 14, 2016. Alexco is a public company with its headquarters in Vancouver, B.C.

Alexco obtained the properties with all pre-existing liabilities subject to indemnification. Alexco also owns an environmental consulting company, Alexco Environmental Group (AEG), which provides environmental services to Alexco and the mining and mineral exploration industry. In 2008, Alexco entered into a Silver Purchase Agreement (SPA) with Silver Wheaton Corp. (Silver Wheaton) whereby 25% of all future silver production from the KHSD properties owned or controlled by Alexco at the time of the consummation of the SPA will be delivered to Silver Wheaton in exchange for a payment of US$3.90 per ounce as well as a payment by Silver Wheaton of US$50 million. The SPA has been renegotiated on several occasions and effective March 29, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with Silver Wheaton to amend the SPA whereby Silver Wheaton will continue to receive 25% of the LOM payable silver from the KHSD with the production payment (originally US$3.90 per ounce) to be based on monthly silver head grade and monthly silver price. The actual monthly production payment will fall within a defined grade and pricing range governed by upper and lower numeric criteria (ceiling grade/price and floor grade/price) pursuant to the following formula:
