    Segovia OperationsHistorical Progression of Mineral Resource and Reserve Estimates

  • TSX: GCM OTCQX: TPRFF

    December 2020

    1) Derived from the NI 43-101 Technical Report Prefeasibility Study Update, Segovia Project, Colombia, dated May 14, 2020, prepared by SRK Consulting (US) Inc.

    (“SRK”).

    2) Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

    3) All figures are rounded to reflect relative accuracy of the estimate. All composites have been capped where appropriate.

    4) The Mineral Resources are reported at an in situ cut-off grade of 3.0 g/t Au over a 1.0 m mining width, which has been derived using a gold price of US$1,400 per

    ounce and technical and economic parameters for the existing underground mining and conventional gold mineralized material processing using a gold recovery

    of 90.5%. Each of the mining areas have been sub-divided into Pillar areas (“Pillars”), which represent the areas within the current mining development, and long-

    term resources (“LTR”), which lie along strike or down dip of the current mining development.

    5) Derived from the Amended NI 43-101 Technical Report Prefeasibility Study Update, Segovia Project, Colombia, dated July 8, 2019, prepared by SRK.

    Inc. (“SRK”).

    2) Mineral resources are inclusive of mineral reserves.

    3) All figures are rounded to reflect relative accuracy of the estimate. All composites have been capped where appropriate

    4) Ore reserves are reported using a gold cutoff grade ranging from 3.25 to 4.24 g/t depending on mining area and mining method. The cutoff grade calculations

    assume a $1,350/oz Au price, 90.5% metallurgical recovery, $6/oz smelting and refining charges, $25/t G&A, $26/t processing cost, and projected LoM mining

    costs ranging from $76/t to 115/t. Mining dilution is applied to a minimum mining height and estimated overbreak (values differ by area/mining method) using a

    zero grade. Mineral Reserves have been stated on the basis of a mine design, mine plan, and cash-flow model. There are potential survey unknowns in some

    of the mining areas and lower extractions have been used to account for these unknowns.

    5) Derived from the Amended NI 43-101 Technical Report Prefeasibility Study Update, Segovia Project, Colombia, dated July 8, 2019, prepared by SRK.
