Canadian-listed (TSX: GCM) producer with offices in Toronto and Medellin. Also listed in the US on the OTCQX (TPRFF). Primary focus is on the high-grade Segovia Operations. Continuing to explore, expand and mechanize the underground mining operations (89% of total H1-2018 production). In August 2017, 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 and is conducting exploration toward a potential purchase and joint venture on the project. Simplified capital structure and strengthened balance sheet in 2018. US$25M of cash on the balance sheet at June 30, 2018.

  • LTM (September 2018) gold production of 214,439 ounces, up ~23%
  • ver 2017 annual production.
  • LTM (June 2018) Adjusted EBITDA of $95M yielded $25M of Excess

Cash Flow.

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

2018 RESULTS

Segovia

  • Our primary focus is our Company mines which provided 95% of Segovia’s total H1-2018 gold production.
  • Improvement in head grades and tonnes mined in the Providencia mine has been key catalyst for Segovia’s

production growth in 2018 versus 2017.

Marmato

  • Continues to be a steady producer…. evaluating expansion options to incorporate the Deeps mineralization.
