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 future repayments of its gold-linked notes. 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.

GRAN COLOMBIA 2.0

❖ Gran Colombia’s high-grade Segovia Operations are continuing to fuel production growth with 230,906 ounces of gold production in TTM June 2019, up 6% over 2018. ❖ Market capitalization is benefitting from capital structure simplification in 2018 and execution of the turnaround strategy. ❖ ~130% appreciation in share price since one year ago. ❖ Share price is currently ~60% of analysts’ targets. ❖ Maintaining strength in the Company’s balance sheet in 2019. ❖ Gold Notes down 20% from one year ago to $73.6M as of July 31, 2019. ❖ $51M of cash as of June 30, 2019, up from $36M at the end of 2018. ❖ Future growth continues emphasis on high-grade Segovia mines and the other 24 known veins we are not currently mining. Raised CA$20M through convertible debentures financing in April 2019 to fund accelerated drilling campaign over next two years. ❖ Upside potential with Marmato expansion, Zancudo, Sandspring and Venezuela in the pipeline.

WHAT’S NEW? Gran Colombia Continuing to Deliver

“Focused on what we can control……Cash, Costs and Execution.”

2019 OUTLOOK

Priorities

1. CA$20M bought deal private placement of convertible debentures - COMPLETED 2. Continue implementation of optimized mine plan at Segovia: – Expanding infrastructure to access deep levels at El Silencio and Providencia. – Continuing ventilation improvements at El Silencio and commence Sandra K. – Continuing El Chocho tailings storage construction and commission filter press. 3. Expanding planned 20,000m drilling program in H2-2019 at Segovia with bought deal proceeds to accelerate step-out and brownfield drilling to increase reserves for production growth and mine life extension. 4. Completing technical studies for underground expansion project at Marmato. 5. Providing technical support to Sandspring; monitoring opportunity in Venezuela.
