Forward‐Looking Statements

DISCLAIMER

This presentation contains "forward‐looking information", which may include, but is not limited to, statements with respect to the future financial or operating performance of the Company and its projects, and, specifically, statements concerning anticipated growth in annual gold production, future cash costs and AISC, future G&A and capex, excess cash flow and sinking funds for the senior debentures and future purchases and/or redemptions of the senior

  • debentures. Often, but not always, forward‐looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans",

"expects", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", or "believes" or variations (including negative 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. Forward‐looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements

  • f Gran Colombia to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or

implied by the forward‐looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward‐looking statements are described under the caption "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Information Form dated as of March 30, 2017 which is available for view on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Forward‐looking statements contained herein are made as of the date of this press release and Gran Colombia disclaims, other than as required by law, any obligation to update any forward‐looking statements whether as a result of new information, results, future events, circumstances, or if management's estimates or opinions should change, or otherwise. There can be no assurance that forward‐looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward‐looking statements.

Canadian-listed (TSX: GCM) producer with offices in Toronto and Medellin. Primary focus is on the high-grade Segovia Operations. Continuing to expand and mechanize the underground mining

  • perations (~86% of total LTM production). Recently announced a 4-year extension in mine life to 2026.

The Marmato Project, one of the Top-20 largest undeveloped global gold deposits, provides significant optionality to gold and silver prices. Currently evaluating the potential to expand the existing underground mining operations, incorporating additional resources from the deep mineralization. The Zancudo Project, a former high-grade producer, provides exploration upside. IAMGOLD signed an option agreement in 2017 to conduct exploration and for the potential purchase of an interest. Reducing Senior Secured Debt and potential dilution ahead of maturity with Excess Cash Flow.

  • LTM gold production of 165,073 ounces, up 10% over 2016 annual

production.

  • LTM AISC averaged US$901/oz…..expected to be below US$900/oz

for the full year 2017.

  • Upside in resource expansion and exploration assets in Colombia.
  • Leading Colombian high-grade underground gold producer.

 undervalued versus peers!

2016 ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Priorities  Completed senior debt restructuring in January 2016.  Made all monthly interest payments on Senior Debentures.  Continued implementation of optimized mine plan at Segovia.  Completed 10,000m drilling program at Segovia….upgraded resources.  Improved balance sheet by reducing working capital deficit.  Balance sheet improved through conversion of Senior Debentures to equity.  Generated Excess Cash Flow for deposit to sinking funds for Senior Debentures and used funds to repurchase debt for cancellation. 2016 Targets

Guidance Actual Gold production (ozs) 120,000 – 138,000 149,708 Cash cost/oz sold $700 ‐ $750 $706 AISC/oz sold $850 ‐ $950 $850
