GROSSO GROUP MEMBER COMPANY
Forward Looking Statements

This Presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation. Such forward-looking statements concern the Companys anticipated
results and developments in the Companys operations in future periods, planned exploration and development of the Chinchillas project, plans related to its business and other matters
that may occur in the future. Statements concerning mineral resource estimates and the interpretation of drill results may also constitute forward-looking statements to the extent that
they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if the Chinchillas project is developed. These statements are based on a number of assumptions which may prove to
be incorrect, including, but not limited to, assumptions about the following: assumptions made in the Chinchillas Mineral Resource Estimate, including geological interpretation, grade,
recovery rates, silver, zinc and lead price assumptions and operating costs; the availability of financing for exploration and development activities, including Silver Standard Resources
Inc. (SSRI) meeting certain milestones and exercising its election to proceed with the transactions contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement dated September 30,
2015 among the Company, SSRI and certain other parties; the Companys ability to attract and retain skilled staff; the Chinchillas project development schedule; the exchange rates of
the Canadian dollar and United States dollar to the Argentina peso; market competition; ongoing relations with impacted communities; and general business and economic conditions.

Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual events or results to differ from those
expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation: risks related to precious and base metal price fluctuations; risks related to the transactions
contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; risks related to fluctuations in the currency markets (particularly the Argentinean peso, Canadian dollar and United States dollar);
risks related to the inherently dangerous activity of mining, including conditions or events beyond our control, and operating or technical difficulties in mineral exploration, development
and mining activities; uncertainty in the Companys ability to raise financing and fund the development of the Chinchillas project, including as recommended in the Chinchillas Mineral
Resource Estimate; uncertainty as to actual capital costs, operating costs, production and economic returns, and uncertainty that development activities will result in a profitable mining
operation at Chinchillas; risks related to mineral resource figures being estimates based on interpretations and assumptions which may result in less mineral production under actual
conditions than is currently estimated and to diminishing quantities or grades of mineral resources as properties are mined; risks related to governmental regulations and obtaining
necessary licenses and permits; risks related to the business being subject to environmental laws and regulations which may increase costs of doing business and restrict our operations;
risks related to the Chinchillas project being subject to prior unregistered agreements, transfers, or claims and other defects in title; risks relating to inadequate insurance or inability to
obtain insurance; risks related to potential litigation; risks related to the global economy; and risks related to the Chinchillas project being located in Argentina, including political,
economic, social and regulatory instability. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary
materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. The Companys forward-looking statements are based on beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the
date the statements are made. For the reasons set forth above, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

The information provided in this is not intended to be a comprehensive review of all matters and developments concerning the Company. It should be read in conjunction with all other
disclosure documents of the Company. The information contained herein is not a substitute for detailed investigation or analysis. No securities commission or regulatory authority has
reviewed the accuracy or adequacy of the information presented. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements other than as
required under applicable law.

We advise U.S. investors that the SEC's mining guidelines strictly prohibit information of this type in documents filed with the SEC. U.S. investors are cautioned that mineral deposits on
adjacent properties are not indicative of mineral deposits on our properties.

The contents of this presentation have been reviewed and approved Mr. Brian McEwen, P.Geol., VP Exploration and Development of the Company and a Qualified Person as defined in
National Instrument 43-101.

1. Totals may not add correctly due to rounding
2. Mineral resources are contained within a pit shell generated using a silver equivalent price of $25/oz.
3. Silver equivalent calculated using the formula: AgEq = Ag g/t + (Pb% 36.09) + (Zn% * 36.09)
4. Silver equivalent grades, and the base case cut-off grade of 45g/t AgEq, are based on metal prices of $19/oz silver and $1/lb for lead and zinc.
5. Recovery is assumed as 90% silver equivalent.
6. Mineral resources, which are not mineral reserves, do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by
environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing, or other relevant issues.
7. The quantity and grade of reported Inferred resources are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to classify these Inferred resources as
Indicated or Measured, but it is reasonably expected that a majority of the reported Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources
with continued exploration.

Leadership

JOSEPH GROSSO
Executive Chairman
CEO and President

Mr. Joseph Grosso is a respected entrepreneur with extensive international business experience having operated for decades in
North/South America as well as in various European and Asian countries. Of Italian descent and fluent in Italian, English and Spanish,
Mr. Grosso lived in Argentina and Peru where he acquired a very deep appreciation for Latin culture and successfully developed a
network of contacts which have been beneficial to the associated companies of the Grosso Group.

Mr. Grosso has developed a strong network of long-term national and international financial relationships. He has experience in
financing, marketing strategies and has successfully formed strategic alliances and negotiated with mining industry majors such as
Barrick, Teck, Newmont, Yamana Gold and Vale S.A.

During a family visit to Argentina in 1993, Argentinas undeveloped geology east of Chile was the great motivator for Mr. Grossos career
change into the mining industry. He became a mining pioneer in Argentina and thereafter led his team to the discovery of the
world-class Gualcamayo deposit, now held by Yamana Gold and the giant Navidad silver deposit now held by Pan American Silver. The
Chinchillas silver project is the third discovery for the Grosso Group.
