CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: This presentation contains or incorporates by reference “forward-looking statements” and “forward-looking information” under applicable Canadian securities legislation within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking information includes, but is not limited to the sale of the Chapada mine “The Chapada Sale Transaction” and anticipated timing of the closing of the Chapada Sale Transaction and the expected impact on the Company’s operations as a result of the Chapada Sale Transaction, the dividend increases, the repayment of debt, leverage ratios, expected benefits of the integration agreement information with respect to the Company’s strategy, plans or future financial or operating performance, continued advancements at Jacobina, Canadian Malartic, Cerro Moro, El Peñón, Minera Florida and Agua Rica, expected production and costs, future work and drilling programs, anticipated timing for the pre-feasibility and feasibility studies for the Agua Rica / Alumbrera integrated project and the potential for future additions to mineral resources and mineral reserves. Forward-looking statements are characterized by words such as “plan,” “expect”, “budget”, “target”, “project”, “intend”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “estimate” and other similar words, or statements that certain events or conditions “may” or “will” occur. Forward-looking statements are based on the opinions, assumptions and estimates of management considered reasonable at the date the statements are made, and are inherently subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other known and unknown factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. These factors include the receipt of certain regulatory approvals and consent in connection with the completion of the Sale Transaction, the satisfaction of closing conditions, the Company’s expectations in connection with the production and exploration, development and expansion plans at the Company's projects discussed herein being met, the impact of proposed optimizations at the Company's projects, changes in national and local government legislation, taxation, controls or regulations and/or changes in the administration or laws, policies and practices, and the impact of general business and economic conditions, global liquidity and credit availability on the timing of cash flows and the values of assets and liabilities based on projected future conditions, fluctuating metal prices (such as gold, copper, silver and zinc), currency exchange rates (such as the Brazilian real, the Chilean peso, and the Argentine peso versus the United States dollar), the impact of inflation, possible variations in ore grade or recovery rates, changes in the Company’s hedging program, changes in accounting policies, changes in mineral resources and mineral reserves, risks related to asset disposition, risks related to metal purchase agreements, risks related to acquisitions, changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, changes in project development, construction, production and commissioning time frames, unanticipated costs and expenses, higher prices for fuel, steel, power, labour and other consumables contributing to higher costs and general risks of the mining industry, failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated, unexpected changes in mine life, final pricing for concentrate sales, unanticipated results of future studies, seasonality and unanticipated weather changes, costs and timing of the development of new deposits, success of exploration activities, permitting timelines, government regulation and the risk of government expropriation or nationalization of mining operations, risks related to relying on local advisors and consultants in foreign jurisdictions, environmental risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, risks relating to joint venture operations, title disputes or claims, limitations on insurance coverage and timing and possible outcome of pending and outstanding litigation and labour disputes, risks related to enforcing legal rights in foreign jurisdictions, as well as those risk factors discussed or referred to herein and in the Company's Annual Information Form filed with the securities regulatory authorities in all provinces of Canada and available at www.sedar.com, and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 40-F filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements if circumstances or management’s estimates, assumptions or opinions should change, except as required by applicable law. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The forward-looking information contained herein is presented for the purpose of assisting investors in understanding the Company’s expected financial and operational performance and results as at and for the periods ended on the dates presented in the Company’s plans and objectives and may not be appropriate for other purposes.
The Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures and additional line items or subtotals, which the Company believes that together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS, provide investors with an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore they may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies. The data 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. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this presentation include: Free cash flow, net debt to EBITDA, co-product cash costs per ounce of gold and silver produced, co-product cash costs per pound of copper produced, all-in sustaining co-product costs per ounce of gold and silver produced, all-in sustaining by-product costs per ounce of gold and silver produced and all-in sustaining co-product costs per pound of copper produced. Please refer to section 11 of the Company’s current annual Management’s Discussion and Analysis, which is filed on SEDAR and includes a detailed discussion of the usefulness of the non-GAAP measures. The Company believes that in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, the Company and certain investors and analysts use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance. In particular, management uses these measures for internal valuation for the period and to assist with planning and forecasting of future operations.

2. Measured and indicated mineral resources are exclusive of Proven and Probable mineral reserves.
3. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
4. Based on 2018 year end mineral reserves and 2018 production results
Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources
Large mineral reserve base with reserve life index of over 14 years(4)
In 2018, gold mineral reserves increased by 11% over mining depletion and gold grades increased for both mineral reserves and mineral resources(1)
Exploration Targeting Higher Grade Resources
The 2018 exploration program identified and defined high-grade mineralization close to current infrastructure
In 2019, exploration to focus on supporting the planned expansion and targeting new mineral resources at a grade of 3.0 g/t or better
