Mineral Reserve Statement – Yaramoko Gold Mine
1. Mineral Reserves are reported in accordance with NI 43-101 with an effective date of December 31, 2018 and are included in Mineral Resources. Mineral Reserve estimates reflect the Company’s reasonable expectation that all necessary permits be maintained. Mining dilution and mining recovery vary by deposit and have been applied in estimating the Mineral Reserves. 2. Mineral Reserves are the economic portion of the Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources. Mineral Reserve estimates including mining dilution at grades assumed to be1.2g/t and 1.0g/t gold for 55 Zone and Bagassi South respectively. Mining dilution and recovery factors vary with specific reserve sources and are influenced by several factors including deposit type, deposit shape and mining methods. 3. The 2018 Mineral Reserves were prepared under the supervision of Benny Zhang, Principal Mining Engineer at SRK, Peng (PEO # 100115459). Mr. Benny Zhang is a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43- 101 and independent of the Company. 4. The Mineral Reserve Statement effective on December 31, 2018 is reported at a cut-off grade of 3.7 g/t gold for the Zone 55 deposit assuming metal price of US$1,300 per ounce of gold, mining cost of US$98.19 per tonne, G&A cost of US$19.31 per tonne, processing cost of US$23.75 per tonne, and process recovery of 98.3%; and a cut-off grade of 3.1 g/t gold for the Bagassi South deposit assuming metal price of US$1,300 per ounce of gold, mining cost of US$76.10 per tonne, G&A cost of US$19.31 per tonne, processing cost of US$23.75 per tonne, and process recovery of 98.3%. Reserve estimates include mining dilution and mining recovery. 5. All figures have been rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimates. 6. For further information, please refer to the technical report dated December 20, 2017 and entitled “Technical Report for the Yaramoko Gold Mine, Burkina Faso” available the Company’s website and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
