Canadian-listed (TSX: GCM) producer with offices in Toronto and Medellin. Also listed in the US on the OTCQX (TPRFF).

Primary focus is on the high-grade Segovia Operations. Continuing to explore, expand and mechanize the undergroundmining operations (89% of total H1-2018 production). In August 2017, announced a 4-year extension in mine life to 2026.

The Marmato Project, one of the Top-20 largest undeveloped global gold deposits, provides significant optionality to gold andsilver prices. Currently evaluating the potential to expand the existing underground mining operations, incorporating additionalresources from the deep mineralization.

The Zancudo Project, a former high-grade producer, provides exploration upside. IAMGOLD signed an option agreement in2017 and is conducting exploration toward a potential purchase and joint venture on the project.

Simplified capital structure and strengthened balance sheet in 2018. US$25M of cash on the balance sheet at June 30, 2018.

LTM (September 2018) gold production of 214,439 ounces, up ~23% over 2017 annual production.

LTM (June 2018) Adjusted EBITDA of $95M yielded $25M of Excess Cash Flow.

Upside in resource expansion and exploration assets in Colombia.

Leading Colombian high-grade underground gold producer. undervalued versus peers!

2018 RESULTS

Segovia• Our primary focus is our Company mines which provided 95% of Segovia’s total H1-2018 gold production.• Improvement in head grades and tonnes mined in the Providencia mine has been key catalyst for Segovia’s

production growth in 2018 versus 2017.

Marmato• Continues to be a steady producer…. evaluating expansion options to incorporate the Deeps mineralization.

Continuing to expand and mechanize underground mining operations. Executing 20,000 meters drilling campaign in 2018 to further its efforts to upgrade and extend its mineral reserves and resources at its Company mines.

Local contract cooperative mining model is successfully leveraging artisanal mining capabilities in high-grade secondary pillar recovery operations in the Company mines and improving environmental management in the area with other small contract mines.

A total of 16,200m of drilling, representing 81% of the planned 20,000m for 2018, have been completed in the first nine months of 2018. Refer to detailed press releases dated June 18, 2018 and October 3, 2018.• Multiple high-grade results achieved in the underground sampling program in the deepest levels of the El Silencio

mine and a new structure identified at El Silencio; added another 10,000m, starting in November 2018, to test extensions another 200m below the existing resource at El Silencio.

• Drilling continuing to increase confidence in our mineral resources with further high-grade intercepts at our three producing mines; encouraging initial results from step-out drilling at the Cristales Vein.

Additional drilling at the El Silencio mine expected to commence in November 2018

“The Sandspring transaction will allow us to diversify our project exposure outside of Colombia and to leverage our previous experience in the Venezuelan Guyana Shield greenstone belt” Serafino Iacono

Chicharron Projecto Sandspring acquired 100% of the rights to

explore, develop and mine a 386 hectare area within our mining title in the Segovia area

o Project Area lies outside of the areas of our principal mining operations in Segovia.

o The Guia Antigua vein that is the current focus of the Chicharron Project appears to be similar in geology, structure, vein style and mineralogy to other veins in the Segovia mining district.
