  16. Maria Dama Processing Plant SEGOVIA OPERATIONS • Plant now has capacity to handle up to 1,500 tpd. • Plant includes crushing, grinding, gravity concentration, gold flotation, cyanidation of the flotation concentrate, Merrill-Crowe precipitation and refining of both the Merrill-Crowe precipitate and gravity concentrate to produce a final doré. • Onsite lab provides quick turnaround of development samples; exploration samples processed in SGS Medellin. • New “El Chocho” tailings storage facility will receive material over the next six years and filter press has been commissioned in 2019; onsite water treatment facility is treating excess water to Colombian standards before being discharged. 15

  17. Positive Agent for Change SEGOVIA OPERATIONS • Third Party Miner Contracts • Agreements with 30+ third party miner groups • Mine designated areas with the Company’s mining title • GCM pays for recovered gold at fixed price • Contractors manage miners & fund own costs • GCM processes ore and sells the gold & silver • GCM provides health & safety training • Benefits of Contract Mining Model • Environmental benefits – GCM controls processing, reducing mercury use • Employment – expanded workforce • Improved health & safety • Workers receive health & pension benefits • Government receives tax & royalties • Improving Health & Safety in Our Mines • Funding Community Programs 16

  18. MARMATO PROJECT Mine Expansion Opportunity The Future of Marmato is Going Underground • Mineralization is hosted by sheeted pyrite vein system in dacite to andesite porphyry stocks. • Mountain of gold in historic mining district. Ranked in Top-20 of undeveloped global gold deposits by size. • Deep zone drilling shows that mineralization at Marmato extends at least 800m below the limit of the current underground mining operation and is still open at depth. • The 2018 drilling campaign has increased our confidence in the geological model, outlining a higher-grade zone with excellent continuity over 450 meters along strike and strong vertical continuity for more than 300 meters below the deepest level of our existing mining operation. • Currently evaluating the expansion of the underground mining operations to incorporate the Deeps mineralization. Completing additional drilling and technical studies toward expected completion of a PEA by the end of 2019. 11% 2018 Production (1) Derived from the NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate on the Marmato Project, Colombia dated November 20, 2017 and effective as of June 16, 2017, prepared by SRK and updated by Ben Parsons, an independent Qualified Person under NI 43-101, of SRK for production through to December 31, 2018 . 17
