Foreign Exchange Assumptions

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company has changed its presentation currency to U.S. dollars. This change is applied retroactively to restate comparative financial statements.

This Accounting policy change is discussed in Note 2(c) to the Q2 2018 unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company

Cautionary Notes to Investors - Reserve and Resource Estimates

In accordance with applicable Canadian securities regulatory requirements, all mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates of the Company disclosed this Presentation have been prepared in accordance withCanadian National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"), classified in accordance with Canadian Institute of Mining Metallurgy and Petroleum's "CIM Standards onMineral Resources and Reserves Definitions and Guidelines" (the "CIM Guidelines").

Pursuant to the CIM Guidelines, mineral resources have a higher degree of uncertainty than mineral reserves as to their existence as well as their economic and legal feasibility. Inferred mineral resources, whencompared with measured or indicated mineral resources, have the least certainty as to their existence, and it cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will be upgraded to anindicated or measured mineral resource as a result of continued exploration. Pursuant to NI 43-101, inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of any economic analysis, including any feasibility study.Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of a mineral resource exists, will ever be converted into a mineral Reserve, or is or will ever be economically or legally mineable or recovered.Premier is not aware of any environmental, permitting, legal, title-related, taxation, socio-political, marketing or other relevant issue that could materially affect the Mineral Resource estimate.

The scientific and technical information contained in this Presentation has been reviewed by Stephen McGibbon, P. Geo., (Executive VP Corporate and Project Development) and a Qualified Person within themeaning of National Instrument 43-101.

For further information on the technical data provided in this Presentation, including the key assumptions underlying the mineral resource herein, refer to the Sedar filings as listed below:

Strategic Project on the Carlin Trend

10

• Core land position in one of the most soughtafter gold districts in the world

• South Arturo Phase 2 pit was one of thelowest cost operations in the world with2017 AISC of US$351 /oz

• Several upside opportunities:

• El Nino u/g deposit• Phase 1 & Phase 3 pits• Potential for ROM heap leach• East Dee deposit• Exploration targets

• Partnership with Barrick has led to additionalstrategic opportunities (McCoy-Cove JV;custom processing arrangement forrefractory ore, Rye Property acquisition)

• Option agreement on Rodeo Creek (100%PG) grows Premier’s land position in thisprolific district.

World Class Gold District

Multiple Development Opportunities

11

• Construction underway

• ROM heap leach project continues to beadvanced with material being stockpiledduring P1 mining

• Heap leach opportunity has the potentialto increase reserves and resources

• High-potential East Dee and South Hingetargets offer significant upside (beingdrilled in 2018)

Phase 2 Pit

• Surface facilities construction underway

• Highlight results from 2017 drilling:

• EL17-10: 225 feet grading 0.46 oz/t Au(15.92 g/t Au across 68.6 m)

• EL17-12: 150 feet grading 0.63 oz/t Au(21.68 g/t Au across 45.7 m)

• Targeted as a multi-year mining operation

• Deposit remains open along strike and atdepth

Phase 1 Open Pit Project Phase 3 Open Pit Project• New resource estimate supports the

potential for future development

• Highlight results from 2017 drilling:

• ART17-01C: 177.8 feet grading 0.23 oz/tAu (52.7 m grading 7.90 g/t)

• ART17-04C: 261.6 feet grading 0.15 oz/tAu (79.7 m grading 5.18 g/t)

Marianas Zone

(Perspective view looking northeast)

• Marianas represents the down-plunge extension of the higher-grade, main Mercedes mine trend

• Previous drilling returned multiple intercepts suggesting a zone containing higher than current reserve grades

• Deposit remains open in multiple directions and represents one of the primary exploration targets at Mercedes

• Current drill program designed to upgrade Marianas to reserves in 2019

Mercedes Mine, Mexico

• Near-mine drilling to replace mineral reserves is displaying extremely high grades located on-strike from new mineworkings at Rey de Oro

• Some of the best widths intersected to-date in the 2018 drill program

• Zone remains open up-plunge, down-plunge, and along strike

• Mining high-grade area is expected to begin in Q4-2018, expected to contribute to the H2 production increase

• Drilling continues to test the on-strike potential from surface and underground
