Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Cash flow from operations and cash cost per ounce are not measures that have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are considered non GAAP measures. Therefore these measures may not be comparable tosimilar measures presented by other issuers.

COINCIDENT SURFACE GEOCHEMICAL AND GEOPHYSICAL ANOMALIES
DETAILED MAPPING & DRILLING HAS CONFIRMED GEOLOGICAL POTENTIAL
• Only APTA has been drilled and is defined as a discovery
• A further 4 targets are untested
• Extensions of APTA along the Aragón Fault are Jesuitas and Guaimarala
• Charrascala is a strong soil anomaly on north-south structures, 1.5 km west of the APTA deposit
• La Cejita demonstrates gold anomalies associated with tonalite and diorite intrusives that cover an area of 6.1 km2. The most significant gold anomaly measures > 1 km2 and is associated with the northern edges of the intrusions. Porphyries and vein targets have been identified.

New Zone Defined - 450m Strike
14
Demonstrated multiple zones of gold mineralization
• Defined a new broad zone of gold mineralization covering a continuousstrike of 450m immediately north of previous drilling
• Results from two holes (MAP_60 & MAP_62) demonstrate multiplezones of gold mineralization including:
• MAP_60
• 5.5g/t Au over 3.34 metres from 70 metres depth
• 4.86g/t Au over 25 metres from 222 metres depth
• MAP_62
• 5.09g/t Au over 5.3 metres from 60 metres depth
• 5.00g/t Au over 23 metres from 217m depth
• This zone is characterized by strongly silicified breccias withdisseminated sulphides like pyrite, sphalerite chalcopyrite and traces ofgalena

Charrascala
• Charrascala is defined by an extensive coincident goldin soil and magnetic anomaly ~3km north-south by1km east-west.
• Surface mapping and sampling combined withinterpretation of geophysical data sets indicates verysimilar signatures to APTA
• The last phase of this drilling campaign will concludework in the center and south of APTA and increase itsfocus in Charrascala
• All permits required to complete this program havebeen granted

San Gregorio: Greenstone Belt with Infrastructure
• Exploration efforts curtailed in the bear market: focusing on near mine exploration
• Despite under investment in exploration which has resulted in declining grade profile, the mine is breaking even at the average grade of the last two years, which has been dominantly UG
• Owner operated 1.5Mtpa CIL plant: ~ 93% average recovery, spare capacity (currently processing 800k tpa)
• Little systematic exploration to date in the Greenstone belt
