Canadian-listed (TSX: GCM) producer with offices in Toronto/Medellin. Currently the largest underground gold and silver producer in Colombia. Advancing a project to expand and mechanize its high-grade gold and silver mines at its Segovia Operations (~84% of total production). The Marmato Project, one of the Top-20 largest undeveloped global gold deposits, provides significant optionality to gold and silver prices with current resources in excess of 14M ozs of gold and almost 90M

  • zs of silver. Deep mineralization holds potential to add resources.

The Zancudo Project, a former high grade producer, provides additional exploration upside. Successfully completed senior debt restructuring in January 2016; launched NCIBs in July 2016 to repurchase debt. Gold production increased 18.5% to 117,000 ounces in 2015.

  • projecting 135,000 - 145,000 ozs in 2016…97,000 ozs through August.

AISC (full year average) below US$900/ oz for 2015.

  • projecting US$850 to US$950/oz for 2016….$802/oz in H1-2016.

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

  • undervalued versus peers!

  • 1. Monthly interest payments on 2018 and 2020 Debentures.
  • 2. Continue implementation of optimized mine plan at Segovia:
  • Primary focus on development and mechanization at Providencia;
  • Secondary focus on development and mechanization at El Silencio; and,
  • 10,000m drilling program at Segovia to be completed by end of year.
  • 3. Improve balance sheet by reducing the working capital deficit.
  • 4. Excess free cash flow  sinking funds for 2018/2020 Debentures  NCIBs.

Growth in Gran Colombia’s total gold production has been driven by the high‐grade Segovia

  • Operations. Marmato has been steady.

2016 annual gold production guidance was increased mid‐year to 135,000‐145,000 ounces.

H1‐2016 total cash cost for the Company was $682/oz, down 15% from H1‐2015, benefitting from:

  • Principal source of Gran Colombia’s gold production is the high‐grade resources at Segovia where the Company has

cut costs and optimized its operating cost structure in recent years.

  • Fixed costs on a per ounce basis have decreased as a result of increased production in H1‐2016.
  • Devaluation of the Colombian peso in H2‐2015 positively impacted US$ equivalent costs in H1‐2016 vs H1‐2015.

All‐In Sustaining Costs (1)

(1) All‐In Sustaining cash cost per ounce includes total cash costs per ounce and adds the sum of G&A, sustaining capital and certain E&E costs and provision for environmental discharge fees. Refer to the Company’s MD&A for computation.

Reductions in total cash costs and G&A have been the key to success in reducing AISC to the current level. Anticipate 2016 full year average AISC of $850 to $950, reflecting expected increase in Segovia capex in H2‐2016.
