Endnotes 12 Gold Equivalent Ounces (“GEOs”) are calculated as revenue divided by the average gold price for the same period. Information has been provided to the Company by the operators of these properties or is publicly available information disclosed by the operators. Reserves information shown is as of December 31, 2017. References to portfolio reflect total property interests at August 8, 2018. Please see slide 2. The Resource Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) were prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101). The terms “measured”, “indicated”, “M&I” and “inferred” as used in the Resource Estimate and the PEA are Canadian mining resource classifications stated in accordance with NI 43-101; however, these terms are not defined terms under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. The estimation of measured resources and indicated resources involves greater uncertainty as to their existence and the legal and economic feasibility of extraction than the estimation of proven and probable reserves. Conversion of mineral resources to proven and probable mineral reserves generally requires a further economic study, such as a preliminary feasibility study. The Resource Estimate and the PEA are not preliminary feasibility studies and do not support an estimate of proven and probable mineral reserves. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated resources will ever be converted into mineral reserves. In addition, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute mineral reserves as in-place tonnage and grade without reference to unit amounts. The results of the PEA are preliminary in nature and are based on various assumptions. These assumptions may be affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, market or other relevant factors, including changes in metal prices. In addition, no decision has been made to proceed with the mine plan described in the PEA. A decision to proceed with the mine plan, would require significant further technical, economic, environmental, permitting, legal, engineering and other work, including a full-scale feasibility study. No decision has been made by the Peak Gold Joint Venture to proceed with a further economic study. Accordingly, there is no certainty that the results of the PEA would be realized should the Peak Gold Joint Venture decide to proceed with the mine plan described in the PEA at any point in the future.
