Why Colombia

==> picture [17 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

Colombia is home to a number of giant ore bodies:

  • La Colosa (30 Moz Au)-AngloGold Ashanti

  • Nuevo Chaquiro (30 Moz Aueq) – AngloGoldAshanti

  • Titiribi (12.2 Moz Au) – Brazil Resources

  • Marmato (12.4 Moz Au) – Gran Colombia

==> picture [17 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

Within the last 7 years alone, more than 100 Moz of gold resource have been defined from porphyry-style deposits

==> picture [17 x 17] intentionally omitted <==

Several recent discoveries of greater than 10 Moz in size

==> picture [17 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

Colombia remains significantly under -explored by modern techniques, providing strong opportunities for Metminco

==> picture [17 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

Geologically unique having a triple-plate junction where 3 tectonic plates coalesce- one of the most geologically diverse and prospective countries in Latin America and possibly the world

Chuscal Project

Recent JV with AngolGold Ashanti. Metminco earning 51% from AngloGold Ashanti through US$2.5M investment over 3 years

Proximity to 877,000 ounce Miraflores deposit (less than 2km distance) magnifies potential upside of any discovery at Chuscal

Chuscal features a large, undrilled surface gold geochemical anomaly (soil and rockchip)

Channel sampling from a small scale underground mine indicated continuous, highly encouraging grades beneath the target zone

Drilling planned for immediately following completion of the merger

As first announced by the Company on 6 December 2018 and 21 January 2019. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information that affects the information contained in the announcement.

14

Chuscal – Drill Target

==> picture [423 x 316] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

176Ha
----- End of picture text -----

  • Extensive undrilled surface geochemical anomaly averaging 1.76gpt

  • High grade epithermal overprint - possibility of high grade zones

  • Grades up to 54gpt Au -central zone averaging 2.66gpt Au (uncut) Underground channel samples averaged 8gpt (20gpt top cut)

San Pablo

Gold / Silver Vein Target

35 Artisanal adits, 9 mapped major veins some traced for 700 vertical meters and 1km strike

Cross cutting veins provide the potential for bulking out of zones

Adit channel samples (blue call out boxes) and wide zones of worked veins suggest potential to host material gold mineralisation

Porphyry Target

Porphyritic textured intrusive outcrop in valley. Stockwork grading 3.3gpt

Alteration halo (yellow and purple in map) consistent with porphyry source, as is vertical zonation in exposed mountain side hosting La Cubana vein

- Area anomalous in Porphyry signature elements Mo, Bi and As

As first announced by the Company on 13 March 2019. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information that affects the information contained in the announcement.

16

Tesorito – Drill Target

Tesorito is a porphyry system, located only 500m away from the proposed plant site at Miraflores

Prior assay results point to Tesorito being a significant near surface porphyry gold target

Drilling by Metminco in 2018 intersected the highest grade to date  64m @ 1.67g/t Au from 144m, within253.1m @ 1.01 g/t Au from 2.9m

Next Steps

Design drilling program to scope the known high grade mineralisation at surface; and investigate potential repetitions of the high-grade zone within the intrusive porphyry complex Consider drilling a deep drill hole to test the depth extension of the high-grade gold zone into what is thought to be higher grade base metals at depth

As first announced by the Company on 30 August 2018. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information that affects the information contained in the announcement.

Early Stage Vein Targets – Andes Portfolio

Summary of Gold, Silver and Au / Ag anomalies over soil grid gold and LIDAR base map

Au Ag Low Ag / Au

El Columpio, San Esteban, Santa Rita and La Alianza area probably represents the Au-Ag-As-base metal bearing intermediate-sulphidation epithermal veins that typically occur from 500m to 5km from a causal intrusive (porphyry).

NOTE: Targets based on rock geochem only therefore the prospectivity of areas that have not been sampled such as large portions in the North and NE have not had targets identified at this stage. The possibility of additional vein and porphyry targets in these areas is high.

As first announced by the Company on 13 March 2019. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information that affects the information contained in the announcement.

Taparto and San Pablo show potential to occur in the middle to upper portions of porphyry systems characterised by Cu-Mo and Bi. La Rochela, San Agustin and possible Santa Helena prospects indicate potential to lie within the upper parts of porphyry systems as inferred from anomalous Mo, Bi, Au & Ag but lacking Cu.

Gibraltar is not well expressed in samples with the exception of elevated Cu/Zn, however porphyry crops out and assayed 20m @ 1.1g/t Au.
