These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Annual Report and the Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable securities laws. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Company’s Annual Information Form (“AIF”), filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Annual Report on Form 40-F and incorporated herein by reference.

In certain cases, forward-looking statements and information can be identified by words such as "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "budgeted", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", or "does not anticipate" or "believes" or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might", "will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved". While the Company has based these forward-looking statements on its expectations about future events as at the date that such statements were prepared, the statements are not a guarantee of Entrée’s future performance and are based on numerous assumptions regarding present and future business strategies; the correct interpretation of agreements, laws and regulations; local and global economic conditions and negotiations and the environment in which Entrée will operate in the future, including commodity prices, projected grades, projected dilution, anticipated capital and operating costs, and anticipated future production and cash flows; the anticipated location of certain infrastructure and sequence of mining within and across panel boundaries; the construction and continued development of the Oyu Tolgoi underground mine; the status of Entrée’s relationship and interaction with the Government of Mongolia, OTLLC, Rio Tinto and Turquoise Hill; and the Company’s ability to operate sustainably, its community relations and its social licence to operate. With respect to the construction and continued development of the Oyu Tolgoi underground mine, important risks, uncertainties and factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and information include, amongst others, the nature of the ongoing relationship and interaction between OTLLC, Turquoise Hill and Rio Tinto and the Government of Mongolia with respect to the continued operation and development of Oyu Tolgoi following the implementation of the comprehensive agreement with the Government of Mongolia along with the implementation of Resolution 103; the continuation of undercutting in accordance with the mine plan and design; actual timing of first sustainable production from Panel 0 as well as the lifting of restrictions by the Government of Mongolia on the ability of OTLLC to incur additional indebtedness; the amount of any future funding gap to complete the Oyu Tolgoi project; liquidity, Oyu Tolgoi project funding sources and Oyu Tolgoi project funding requirements; the implementation and successful execution of the funding plan that is the subject of the Amended HoA and potential delays in the ability of Turquoise Hill or OTLLC to proceed with the funding elements contemplated by the Amended HoA; the timing and cost of the construction and expansion of mining and processing facilities; the ability of OTLLC or the Government of Mongolia to deliver a domestic power source for Oyu Tolgoi (or the availability of financing for OTLLC or the Government of Mongolia to construct such a source) within the required contractual timeframe; sources of interim power; OTLLC’s ability to operate sustainably, its community relations, and its social licence to operate in Mongolia; the potential impact of COVID-19, including any restrictions imposed by health and governmental authorities relating thereto; the impact of changes in, changes in interpretation to or changes in enforcement of, laws, regulations and government practises in Mongolia; delays, and the costs which would result from delays, in the development of the underground mine; the anticipated location of certain infrastructure and sequence of mining within and across panel boundaries; projected commodity prices and their market demand; and production estimates and the anticipated yearly production of copper, gold and silver at the Oyu Tolgoi underground mine. The 2021 PEA is based on a conceptual mine plan that includes Inferred mineral resources. Numerous assumptions were made in the preparation of the 2021 PEA, including with respect to mineability, capital and operating costs, production schedules, the timing of construction and expansion of mining and processing facilities, and recoveries, that may change materially once production commences at Hugo North Extension Lift 1 and additional development and capital decisions are required. Any changes to the assumptions underlying the 2021 PEA could cause actual results to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements and information relating to the 2021 PEA. Other risks, uncertainties and factors which could cause actual results, performance or achievements of Entrée to differ materially from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements and information include, amongst others, unanticipated costs, expenses or liabilities; discrepancies between actual and estimated production, mineral reserves and resources and metallurgical recoveries; development plans for processing resources; matters relating to proposed exploration or expansion; mining operational and development risks, including geotechnical risks and ground conditions; regulatory restrictions (including environmental regulatory restrictions and liability); risks related to international operations, including legal and political risk in Mongolia; risks related to the potential impact of global or national health concerns, including the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic; risks associated with changes in the attitudes of governments to foreign investment; risks associated with the conduct of joint ventures; inability to upgrade Inferred mineral resources to Indicated or Measured mineral resources; inability to convert mineral resources to mineral reserves; conclusions of economic evaluations; fluctuations in commodity prices and demand; changing foreign exchange rates; the speculative nature of mineral exploration; the global economic climate; dilution; share price volatility; activities, actions or assessments by Rio Tinto, Turquoise Hill or OTLLC and by government authorities including the Government of Mongolia; the availability of funding on reasonable terms; the impact of changes in interpretation to or changes in enforcement of laws, regulations and government practices, including laws, regulations and government practices with respect to mining, foreign investment, royalties and taxation; the terms and timing of obtaining necessary environmental and other government approvals, consents and permits; the availability and cost of necessary items such as water, skilled labour, transportation and appropriate smelting and refining arrangements; unanticipated reclamation expenses; changes to assumptions as to the availability of electrical power, and the power rates used in operating cost estimates and financial analyses; changes to assumptions as to salvage values; ability to maintain the social licence to operate; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; global climate change; global conflicts; title disputes; limitations on insurance coverage; competition; loss of key employees; cyber security incidents; misjudgements in the course of preparing forward-looking statements; as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s AIF, filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this annual report on Form 40-F and incorporated herein by reference. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements and information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward- looking statements and information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements and information. Except as required under applicable securities legislation, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements and information, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and information. NOTE TO UNITED STATES READERS DIFFERENCES IN UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN REPORTING PRACTICES The Company is permitted, under the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or “Commission”), to prepare this Annual Report in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which differ from those of the United States. The Company has prepared its financial statements, which are filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Annual Report and incorporated by reference herein, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and they are not comparable to financial statements of United States companies. CAUTIONARY NOTE TO UNITED STATES INVESTORS The Company’s AIF, filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Annual Report on Form 40-F and management’s discussion and analysis for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed as Exhibit 99.3 to this Annual Report on Form 40-F have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. All mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates included in this Annual Report on Form 40-F and the documents incorporated by reference herein have been prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), which incorporates by reference the definitions of the terms ascribed by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) in the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended. NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral properties. NI 43-101 differs significantly from the disclosure requirements of the SEC generally applicable to U.S. companies. Accordingly, descriptions of mineral deposits contained in this Annual Report and the documents incorporated by reference herein may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. The SEC has adopted amendments to its disclosure rules to modernize the mineral property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the SEC. These amendments became effective February 25, 2019 (the “SEC Modernization Rules”) and, following a transition period, the SEC Modernization Rules have replaced the historical property disclosure requirements for mining registrants that are included in SEC Industry Guide 7. As a “foreign private issuer” (as such term is defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act) that files its annual report on Form 40-F with the SEC pursuant to the U.S.- Canada Multijurisdictional Disclosure System (“MJDS”), the Company is not required to provide disclosure on its mineral properties under the SEC Modernization Rules and will continue to provide disclosure under NI 43-101 and CIM. If the Company ceases to be a foreign private issuer or loses its eligibility to file its annual report on Form 40-F pursuant to the MJDS, then the Company will be subject to the SEC Modernization Rules, which differ from the requirements of NI 43-101 and CIM. ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM The Company’s AIF for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Annual Report and incorporated by reference herein. AUDITED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, including the report of the independent auditor with respect thereto, are filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Annual Report and are incorporated by reference herein. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS The Company’s management’s discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2021 is filed as Exhibit 99.3 to this Annual Report (“MD&A”) and is incorporated by reference herein. Purchasing, holding, or disposing of the Company’s securities may have tax consequences under the laws of the United States and Canada that are not described in this Annual Report. TAX MATTERS CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Disclosure Controls and Procedures At the end of the period covered by this Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of, and with the participation of, the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting The Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s ICFR is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The Company's ICFR includes policies and procedures that: pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors of the Company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Because of their inherent limitations, ICFR can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Furthermore, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. The Company's management (with the participation of the CEO and the CFO) conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s ICFR as of December 31, 2021. This evaluation was based on the criteria set forth in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on its assessment, management concluded that the Company’s ICFR was not effective as at December 31, 2021, and there was a material weakness in the Company’s ICFR relating to operations. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board defines a “material weakness” as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in ICFR, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management identified the following material weakness relating to operations, which existed as of December 31, 2021:  Evidence of testing of controls, policies and procedures was not sufficiently documented and retained. While management does perform periodic testing of specific controls and procedures, the absence of sufficient documented evidence of testing resulted in management being unable to determine that ICFR as a whole is effective. To address the material weakness, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the consolidated financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Accordingly, management believes that the consolidated financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. In addition, no significant deficiencies relating to the design of ICFR were identified. As a result of the material weakness described above, the Company’s auditor did not have sufficient appropriate evidence of testing to provide a basis for an opinion on ICFR and accordingly issued a disclaimer of opinion on the Company’s ICFR. Remediation In response to the material weakness described above, the Company will be implementing a remediation plan to address the material weakness which will include measures such as hiring an independent third- party internal controls consultant to assist with our internal controls testing, testing documentation retention, and other internal control enhancements. The Company will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s ICFR on an ongoing basis and if the remediation plan is not sufficient to eliminate the material weakness, the Company will consider what additional actions would be required. Auditor’s Attestation Report Davidson & Company LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, has issued a disclaimer of opinion on the Company’s ICFR which accompanies the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 included as Exhibit 99.2 to this Annual Report. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There have been no changes in the Company’s ICFR during its fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s ICFR. AUDIT COMMITTEE The Company has a separately designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. The Company’s Audit Committee is comprised of Anna El-Erian (chair), Michael Price and James Harris. In the opinion of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), all members of the Audit Committee are independent, based on the criteria for independence prescribed by Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and Section 803 of the NYSE American Company Guide, and are financially literate, meaning each such member has the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company’s financial statements. Audit Committee Financial Expert The Company’s Board has determined that Anna El-Erian qualifies as a financial expert (as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) and is independent (as determined under Exchange Act Rule 10A-3). The SEC has indicated that the designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not make such person an “expert” for any purpose, impose any duties, obligations or liability on such person that are greater than those imposed on members of the audit committee and the board of directors who do not carry this designation or identification, or affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the audit committee or board of directors. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES – INDEPENDENT AUDITORS The following table shows the aggregate fees billed to the Company by Davidson & Company LLP and its affiliates, Chartered Professional Accountants, Vancouver, British Columbia (PCAOB ID # 731), the Company’s independent registered public auditing firm, in each of the last two years: Audit Fees(1) Audit Related Fees(2) Tax Fees(3) All other fees Total: 2021 (US$) $24,227 2020 (US$) $17,913 $Nil $Nil $Nil $Nil $Nil $Nil $24,227 $17,913 (1) Audits of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, meetings with the Audit Committee and management with respect to annual filings, consulting and accounting standards and transactions, issuance of consent in connection with Canadian and United States securities filings.

PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES PROVIDED BY INDEPENDENT AUDITORS The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit services to be provided to the Company by its independent auditors. Non-audit services that are prohibited to be provided to the Company by its independent auditors may not be pre-approved. In addition, prior to the granting of any pre-approval, the Audit Committee must be satisfied that the performance of the services in question will not compromise the independence of the independent auditors. All non-audit services performed by the Company’s auditor for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee of the Company. No non-audit services were approved pursuant to the de minimis exemption set forth in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X. CODE OF ETHICS The Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) for directors, officers, employees and consultants. A copy of the Code is available to any person, without charge, by written request to the Company at its principal executive office, located at Suite 1650 – 1066 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6E 3X1.
