These forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof and, except as required under applicable securities legislation, Gold Standard does not assume any obligation to update or revise them to reflect new events orcircumstances.

CAUTIONARY NOTE FOR U.S. INVESTORS REGARDING RESERVE AND RESOURCE ESTIMATES -Canadian public disclosure standards, including National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), differ significantly from the requirements of theSecurities and Exchange Commission set forth in Industry Guide 7 (“Industry Guide 7”), and information concerning mineralization, deposits, mineral reserve and resource information contained or referred to herein may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S.companies in accordance with Industry Guide 7. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this presentation uses the terms “proven mineral reserves,” “probable mineral reserves,” “measured mineral resources,” ‘‘indicated mineral resources’’ and ‘‘inferredmineral resources’’. U.S. investors are advised that, while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian securities laws, Industry Guide 7 does not recognize them. The requirements of NI 43-101 for identification of ‘‘reserves’’ are not the same as those of Industry Guide 7,and reserves reported by the Gold Standard in compliance with NI 43-101 may not qualify as ‘‘reserves’’ under Industry Guide 7. Under Industry Guide 7, mineralization may not be classified as a ‘‘reserve’’ unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could beeconomically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part of a “measured mineral resource” or “indicated mineral resource” will ever be converted into a “reserve”. U.S. investors shouldalso understand that “inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of “inferred mineral resources” exist, are economically or legallymineable or will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian securities laws, estimated “inferred mineral resources” may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies except in rare cases. Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a mineral resource is permitteddisclosure under Canadian securities laws. However, Industry Guide 7 normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by Industry Guide 7 standards as in place tonnage and grade, without reference to unit measures. Accordingly,information concerning mineral deposits set forth herein may not be comparable with information made public by companies that report in accordance with Industry Guide 7.

All scientific and technical information contained within this presentation has been prepared by, or under the supervision of, Steve R. Koehler, Gold Standard’s manager of projects, BSc Geology, and CPG-10216, a qualified person as defined by NI43-101 standards for Disclosure forMineral Projects.

Information in this presentation contains descriptions of our mineral deposits that may not be comparable to similar information made public by US companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under US federal securities laws and regulations.

Non GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this presentation, including cash costs and all-in sustaining costs (AISC) per ounce of gold sold.These non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardised meaning. Accordingly, these financial measures are intended to provide additional informationand should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards(“IFRS”).

Cash Costs

Cash costs are reflective of the cost of production. The Company reports cash costs on an ounces of gold sold basis. Other companies may calculate thesemeasures differently and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Cash costsreported by Gold Standard includes mining, processing, transport, refining, general administration costs of the mine operations and royalties, but are exclusive ofamortization, reclamation, capital and exploration costs and net of any value of the by-products.

All-in Sustaining Costs

This presentation refers to expected AISC per ounce which is a non-GAAP measure however is a measure the Company believes more fully-defines the total costsassociated with producing gold. This measurement has no standardized meaning under IFRS, accordingly there may be some variation in method of computationof “all-in sustaining costs” as determined by the Company compared with other mining companies. AISC reported by Gold Standard includes mine cash costs, landaccess payments, royalties, and sustaining capital expenditures, but excludes non-sustaining capitalized stripping and end of life reclamation costs. The life ofmine AISC of $707/oz USD increases to $719/oz USD if end of mine life reclamation costs are included in accordance with the World Gold Council guidance onAISC.
