Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This presentation contains “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking information includes statements that use forward-looking terminology such as “may”, “could”, “would”, “will”, “should”, “intend”,
“target”, “plan”, “expect”, “budget”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “schedule”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “continue”, “potential”, “view” or the negative or grammatical variation thereof or other variations thereof or comparable terminology. Such forward-looking information
includes, without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future plans, intentions, levels of activity, results, performance or achievements. Forward-looking information is based upon estimates and assumptions of management in light of
management’s experience and perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments, as well as other factors that management believes to be relevant and reasonable in the circumstances, as of the date of the preliminary prospectus. While the Company
considers these assumptions to be reasonable, the assumptions are inherently subject to significant business, social, economic, political, regulatory, competitive and other risks and uncertainties, contingencies and other factors that could cause actual actions, events,
conditions, results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those projected in the forward-looking information. Many assumptions are based on factors and events that are not within the control of the Company and there is no assurance they will
prove to be correct. For further details on the forward-looking information included in this presentation, see “Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information” in the prospectus. Forward-looking information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
factors, and does not guarantee future performance. See “Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information” and “Risk Factors” in the prospectus for a discussion of certain risk factors investors should carefully consider before deciding to invest in securities of the
Company. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events, conditions, results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those described in forward-looking information, there may be other factors
that cause actions, events, conditions, results, performance or achievements to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ
materially from those anticipated in such information. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information. Forward-looking information contained herein is made as of the date of this presentation or as of the date indicated, and the
Company disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise, except as and to the extent required by applicable securities laws in Canada.

Market & Industry Data

This presentation includes market, industry and economic data which was obtained from various publicly available sources and other sources believed by the Company to be true. Although the Company believes it to be reliable, the Company has not independently
verified any of the data from third party sources referred to in this presentation, or analyzed or verified the underlying reports relied upon or referred to by such sources, or ascertained the underlying economic and other assumptions relied upon by such sources. The
Company believes that its market, industry and economic data is accurate and that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, but there can be no assurance as to the accuracy or completeness thereof. The accuracy and completeness of the market, industry and
economic data used in this presentation are not guaranteed and the Company does not make any representation as to the accuracy or completeness of such information.

Disclaimers (Continued)
Comparables

The comparable information about other issuers was obtained from public sources and has not been verified by the Company. Comparable means information that compares an issuer to other issuers. The information is a summary of certain relevant operational
attributes of certain mining and resource companies and has been included to provide an overview of the performance of what are expected to be comparable issuers. The comparables are considered to be an appropriate basis for comparison with the Company based
on their industry, size, operating scale, commodity mix, jurisdiction, capital structure and additional criteria. The comparable issuers face different risks from those applicable to the Company. Recipients are cautioned that there are risks inherent in making an investment
decision based on the comparables, that past performance is not indicative of future performance and that the performance of the Company may be materially different from the comparable issuers. Accordingly, Recipients are cautioned not to put undue reliance on the
comparables in making an investment decision.

Other

Certain monetary amounts, estimates, percentages and other figures included in this presentation have been subject to rounding adjustments. Certain other amounts that appear in this presentation may not sum due to rounding.

Non-IFRS Measures

This presentation contains certain supplemental financial measures that are not calculated pursuant to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), including: adjusted EBITDA, all-in sustaining costs (“AISC”), return on capital employed (“ROCE”), net free cash
flow, and net debt to adjusted EBITDA. The Company believes that these non-IFRS measures, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS, provide investors with an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. Non-IFRS
measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies. The data relating to non-IFRS measures is intended to provide additional information and should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. For a discussion of the use of these non-IFRS measures and reconciliations thereof to the most directly comparable IFRS measures, see “Non-IFRS Measures” in the
prospectus. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a ratio which is not a standardized financial measure under the financial reporting framework used to prepare the financial statements and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other companies. The
ratio is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-IFRS measure, divided by revenues over the same period. Adjusted EBITDA is adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization excluding items such as other non operating income or expenses,
financial income or expenses, hedging operations, exploration expenses, impairment of assets and foreign currency exchange differences. For a discussion of the use of this non-IFRS measure and a reconciliation thereof to the most directly comparable IFRS measures, see
“All-in Sustaining Margin and Adjusted EBITDA” in the prospectus. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is useful as it provides management with an indicator of the company's operating profit, shown as a percentage of its revenue, and provides a measure of consistency over time
and is an indicator management uses internally to measure the Company’s performance.

Information Regarding Technical Disclosure

The scientific and technical information in this presentation is derived from the prospectus, including the summaries in the prospectus of the following technical reports prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral
Projects (“NI 43-101”) by the following “qualified persons” (as such term is defined in NI 43-101): (i) in respect of the Gualcamayo Property, the report entitled “Technical Report on the Gualcamayo Property, San Juan and La Rioja Provinces, Argentina”, dated September
15, 2021, with an effective date of June 30, 2021, prepared by Sean Horan, P.Geo., Martin Orozco, P.Geo, Ariel M. Testi, MBA, CPG, Andrew P. Hampton, M.Sc., P.Eng., Jason J. Cox, P.Eng, all of SLR Consulting Limited (“SLR”), and Gerd Wiatzka, P. Eng., of Arcadis Canada
Inc.; (ii) in respect of the Hemco Property, the report entitled “Technical Report on the Hemco Property, Región Autónoma De La Costa Caribe Norte, Nicaragua” dated September 15, 2021, with an effective date of September 15, 2021, prepared by Sean Horan, P.Geo.,
Martin Orozco, P.Geo, Jason J. Cox, P.Eng, Varun Bhundhoo, Ing. and Holger Krutzelmann, P.Eng., all of SLR, and Gerd Wiatzka, P.Eng., of Arcadis Canada Inc.; and (iii) in respect of the Nechí Alluvial Property, the report prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 entitled
“Technical Report on the Nechí Alluvial Gold Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimates, Antioquia Department, Colombia”, dated September 15, 2021, with an effective date of September 15, 2021, prepared by Luke Evans, M.Sc., P.Eng., Richard E. Routledge, M.Sc.
(Applied), P.Geo., Ian Weir, P.Eng., Holger Krutzelmann, P.Eng., all of SLR, and Gerd Wiatzka, P.Eng., of Arcadis Canada Inc. Certain scientific and technical information contained in this presentation that relates to mineral properties in which the Company has an interest is
derived from the prospectus but which was not specifically prepared by the qualified persons listed above has been prepared under the supervision of, or approved by, Sean Horan, P.Geo., a qualified person. This presentation uses the terms “inferred mineral resources”
or “inferred resources”. Inferred mineral resources are subject to uncertainty as to their existence and as to their economic and legal feasibility. The level of geological uncertainty associated with an inferred mineral resource is too high to apply relevant technical and
economic factors likely to influence the prospects of economic extraction in a manner useful for evaluation of economic viability. In accordance with Section 3.5 of NI 43-101, readers are advised that certain additional information regarding the mineral properties in which
the Company has an interest related to data verification, exploration information, and mineral resources and mineral reserves (referred to in Sections 3.2, 3.3 and paragraphs (a), (c) and (d) of Section 3.4 of NI 43-101) is set forth in the prospectus.

Mineral Reserves Notes
(Effective Date of June 30, 2021 as per 2021 Technical Reports)
Mineral Reserve Reporting Notes:
• CIM (2014) definitions were followed for Mineral Reserves.
• Mineral Reserves are estimated using an average long-term gold price of US$1,500/oz.
• Numbers may not add due to rounding.
Nechi Alluvial Property – Colombia:
• The Nechi Alluvial Property Mineral Reserves have been expressed as tonnes by converting cubic metres to tonnes using a density factor of 2.0 t/m3.
• Mineral Reserves are estimated at cut-off grades of 38 mg/m³ for mining by bucket line dredges, 49 mg/m³ for Brazilian suction dredge alluvials, 39 mg/m³ for wheel
cutter suction dredge alluvials, and 96 mg/m³ for terrace alluvials.
• Mineral Reserves are estimated using an estimated gold price of US$1,500/oz Au.
• An exchange rate of COP$3,500=US$1.00 was used.
• Gold grade includes some silver. Alluvial gold at Nechi is 890 fine for reserve estimation.
• A minimum alluvial mining depth of 12 m was used.
• A maximum alluvial mining depth of 30 m was used.
Hemco Property – Nicaragua:
• Mineral Reserves are estimated using drill hole and sample data and depleted production through June 30, 2021.
• A minimum mining width of 0.9 m was used for shrinkage stoping and between 1.8 m and 2.0 m for mechanized mining methods.
• A marginal and break-even cut-off grade of 2.35 g/t Au and 2.85 g/t Au, respectively, were applied to shrinkage stope designs. Break even cut-off grades between 2.13
g/t Au and 2.64 g/t Au were applied to mechanized stope designs.
• Dilution skins of 0.25 m were applied to shrinkage stopes and between 0.6 m to 0.8 m to mechanized stopes. An extraction factor of 70% was applied to shrinkage
stopes and between 75% and 90% to mechanized stopes.
• Mineral Reserves for the Toboba, Elefante, Neblina Main, and Neblina Sur orebodies were estimated using a 2019 Resource model. At the time of writing, while
updated block models exist for the Elefante and Neblina Main orebodies an update to the Mineral Reserves was in progress.
• Mineral Reserves are estimated using average long term gold price of US$1,500/oz Au, and an exchange rate of COP$3,650=US$1.00 and NIO 36.30=US$1.00.

• Mineral Resources are estimated at a cut-off grade of 2.0 g/t Au for long hole stoping resource shapes and 2.52 g/t Au for shrinkage resource shapes, 3.0 g/t Au
for artisanal areas, and an NSR cut-off value of US$70/t and US$84.60/t for Porvenir (sublevel stoping and shrinkage stoping, respectively), and US$73.3/t for
Leticia, and San Antonio. Open pit material above the 850 ft Level at Panama was estimated using a cut-off grade of 1.8 g/t Au.
• Mineral Resources are estimated using a long-term gold price of US$1,700/oz, a silver price of US$20/oz, and a zinc price of US$1.22/lb.
• A minimum mining width of 0.9 m was used at Panama, and a 1.8 m for sublevel stoping. For Pioneer, a minimum mining width of 1.0 m was used for all veins
except Lone Star, Pioneer Northeast, Pioneer Northeast Extension, and Pioneer 3 which used underground reporting shapes to demonstrate Reasonable
Prospects for Eventual Economic Extraction. Porvenir used underground reporting shapes to demonstrate Reasonable Prospects for Eventual Economic
Extraction.
• Bulk density is between 2.66 t/m3 and 2.68 t/m3 for Panama, between 2.65 t/m3 and 2.92 t/m3 for Porvenir, 2.68 t/m3 for Pioneer, 2.72 t/m3 for Leticia, 2.75 t/m3
for San Antonio, and 2.7 t/m3 for the artisanal areas.
• Material within 30 m of the topographic surface has been excluded from the Pioneer and Porvenir Mineral Resources to allow for artisanal mining. This material
is exclusive of the artisanal areas.
• Contained Ag ounces for the Panama Mine, Pioneer Mine and Artisanal subgroup are from Pioneer only. For the Ag grades corresponding to the contained Ag
ounces, see Appendix “C” of the preliminary prospectus.
Gualcamayo Property:
• Mineral Resources are estimated at cut-off grades between 0.20 g/t Au and 0.40 g/t Au for open pit and between 0.63 g/t Au and 1.85 g/t Au for underground.
• Open pit Mineral Resources are constrained within Whittle optimized pit shells.
• Mineral Resources are estimated using a long-term gold price of US$1,700 per ounce.
• Bulk densities range between 2.47 t/m3 and 3.01 t/m3 depending on the rock type.
• Bajo OP corresponds to small zones of mineralization below each of the Whittle optimized pit shells of the open pit Mineral Resources that may be amenable to
underground mining techniques. These areas were defined using reporting shapes to ensure reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction.
• The DCP is comprised of three areas Roadado, Feeders, and Santiago, and accounts for 65% of the total of Measured and Indicated Resources and the long term
future of the Gualcamayo Mine.
