CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING TECHNICAL INFORMATION: This presentation contains information regarding mineral resources estimated at the mineral projects referenced herein. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, socio- political, marketing or other relevant issues. In particular, the quantity and grade of reported inferred mineral resources are uncertain in nature and there is insufficient exploration to define these inferred mineral resources and an indicated or measured mineral resource in all cases. It is uncertain in all cases whether further exploration will result in upgrading the inferred mineral resources to an indicated or measured mineral resource category. For details regarding the key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate the mineral resources presented in respect of the Segovia Operations, please see the “Amended NI 43-101 Technical Report Prefeasibility Study Update Segovia Project Colombia", with a report date of July 8, 2019 and an effective date of December 31, 2018 (the “Segovia PFS”) .

Enhanced Scale
Management estimates an integrated operation could support a 15- year mine life with combined production of 200koz per year with potential to increase to 300koz per year
>11 Moz contained Au M&I(1, 2) resources and 2.2 Moz 2P reserves(1,
2) across Aurora and Toroparu combined
Combined land concession package of 165,000 ha
Capital Synergies & Savings
Toroparu development costs significantly reduced through utilization
Utilizes Aurora O/P mining fleet, camp, and leach processing facility which removes the need to build a new mill In turn, integration delivers reduced ramp up and operating risk for Aurora U/G
Mine Planning Optimization
Integrated U/G and O/P significantly reduces ramp up risk Allows for more conservative U/G mining rates at Aurora while maintaining plant utilization
Operating Cost Synergies
Combine G&A budgets Shared port and access road maintenance costs
