Table 1 Notes:
1. Gold Equivalence estimated using $1,300 per ounce gold at 83% recovery and $2.90 per pound copper at 90% recovery.
2. A 0.3 g/t gold cut-off has been highlighted as the base case cut-off.
3. Totals may not represent the sum of the parts due to rounding.
4. The mineral resource estimates contained herein were estimated using Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum's, "CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines" (2014).

The Titiribi Project occurs within the Mid-Cauca Porphyry Belt and consists of several near surface bulk tonnage gold-copper porphyry and associated epithermal gold systems. A total of 270 diamond drill holes, totaling 144,779 metres, have been drilled at the Titiribi Project, with nine mineralized areas identified to date. The Project is located between 1,200 to 2,200 metre elevations, below the elevation of the Páramo tropical mountain ecosystems, and is road accessible by paved highway from Medellin with high power electrical lines passing within three kilometres.

The Mid-Cauca Porphyry Belt is host to several gold projects that are in development or production including AngloGold Ashantiꞌs Quebradona, B2Gold/AngloGold Ashantiꞌs Gramalote, Continental Goldꞌs Buritica, Red Eagleꞌs San Ramon, and Gran Colombiaꞌs Marmato projects.
