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, reduction of cash costs and AISC, future G&A, capex and excess cash flow, interest payments on the senior debt and future purchases and/or redemptions of the senior debt. 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.

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. Reduced senior debt by $36M (19%) in 2016 through debt conversions and NCIB repurchases following January 2016 debt restructuring. Annual gold production increased 28% to 149,687 ounces in 2016. AISC (full year average) expected to be US$825 to US$850/oz for 2016 compared with US$863/oz in 2015. Upside in resource expansion and exploration assets. Leading Colombian high-grade underground gold producer.

2016 OUTLOOK

Priorities

  • 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.

LTM‐2016 total cash cost for the Company was $700/oz, down from $729/oz in 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 2016.
  • Devaluation of the Colombian peso in H2‐2015 positively impacted US$ equivalent costs in 2016 vs 2015.

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 $825 to $850 per ounce. (2)
