Investment Attractiveness in South America
• Northwest Argentina, Chile and Peru are stand-out jurisdictions for mining investment in South America
• In northwest Argentina, the Provinces of Juyuy,
Salta, Catamarca and San Juan provide safe investment climates
• Salta Province is ranked #1 jurisdiction in Argentina (Fraser Institute 2016)

Summary of Current Projects
1. EL QUEMADO PROJECT – Salta Province El Quemado is a hard-rock pegmatite project centered on historical mining operations where tantalum, niobium and bismuth were formerly produced. 2. ORGANULLO GOLD PROJECT – Salta Province Centenera’s flagship gold project is a deposit with a JORC-compliant geological target size ranging from 600,000 ounces at 0.94g/t gold (19.8Mt) to 940,000 ounces at 0.92g/t gold (31.6Mt), using a 0.5g/t cut-off grade. 3. MINA ANGELA GOLD PROJECT – Chubut Province This former gold mine produced 150,000 ounces of gold to 1992 when the mine closed. Exploration data, including drill intersections, demonstrates expansion potential. 4. CROSBY PROPERTY – Jujuy Province A strategic land position contiguous with the Silver Standard’s operating Pirquitas Mine.
It should be noted that the Organullo potential exploration target quantities and grades are conceptual in nature, that insufficient exploration and geological modelling has been done to define a mineral resource, and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the delineation of a mineral resource.

1. El Quemado Tantalum – Lithium Project
OVERVIEW • Excellent land position in Argentina’s premier
pegmatite district • Includes several small-scale former producing mines
• Exposure to Tantalum and Lithium markets
TSX.V: CT | www.centeneramining.com 7
El Quemado Project
GEOLOGY • District with rare element class granitic
pegmatites (lithium sub-class)
• Despite historical production, no modern exploration has been completed
• Work in 2016 will focus on mapping, prospecting and sampling
HISTORICAL PRODUCTION • Project includes historic El Quemado mine
• Historical production of concentrates with
average grades 39.65% tantalum, 20.98% niobium, 61.46% bismuth. The Company cautions that the grade of concentrates is derived from private mining company records that are historical in nature.
El Quemado claims and historical producing sites. The project comprises 19 claims totaling approximately 8,000 hectares.

2. Organullo Gold Project
OVERVIEW • Centenera owns 100% interest
• Close the city of Salta and good infrastructure (road,
rail, gas, power) • Includes Julio Verne Mine, an underground mine
producing copper, bismuth and gold in the 1930’s.
• Independent NI 43-101 (April 17th, 2015)
Road, rail, electrical transmission and gas pipelines in the vicinity of the Organullo project.
TSX.V: CT | www.centeneramining.com 9
Organullo Gold Project
GEOLOGY • High sulphidation epithermal gold deposit
• Large alteration system with more than 7 kilometers of
geochemically anomalous rock samples along trend
• Strong alteration intensity observed in interpreted Aster data
HISTORICAL WORK • 44 drill holes (8,174meters)
• 630 rock samples, 471 talus fines, 45 BLEG and 2,707
PIMA samples
Aster Satellite Scene, measuring 60 km x 60km, demonstrates that while alteration intensity is strong
at Organullo (in this case Jarosite), it is rare in the surrounding area.
TSX.V: CT | www.centeneramining.com 10
ASSUMPTIONS & PARAMETERS: • Gold grades estimated for each model based on the common
vein orientation in each area • Drill data composited to 2.0 meters downhole; no limits on the
input and output parameters; unconstrained by geology • Inverse distance squared algorithm • Two scan distances used in grade estimation – 200 meters
(lower range) and 300 meter scan distances (upper range) • Constant density of 2.6t/m3 assumed
It should be noted that these potential exploration target quantities and grades are conceptual in nature, that insufficient exploration and geological modelling
has been done to define a mineral resource, and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the delineation of a mineral resource.
Organullo Gold Project
Pit Shell Outlines in Target Areas 2 and 3 from Organullo Pit Optimization Study, GeoRes, 2012. Background is Jarosite Alteration Intensity typically
associated with epithermal systems
TSX.V: CT | www.centeneramining.com 11
Organullo Gold Project
TARGET 1 • Largely untested area of high alteration intensity with
little surface sampling and one drillhole on the periphery
TARGET 2 • Target with substantial sampling and five drillholes • Target tonnage and grade range is large because target
requires more drill definition TARGET 3 • Tested with 28 drillholes and target ranges from
498,000 to 589,000 ounces • Well sampled but more drilling required to increase
certainty TARGET 4 • High alteration intensity and positive surface sampling,
but only three drillholes

3. Mina Angela Project
OVERVIEW • 15,500 hectare project in northern Chubut Province
• Close to national transportation infrastructure with rail
connection to deep water ports
• 50 kilometers northwest of Pan Pacific Silver’s advanced-stage silver property, Navidad
• Although a past-producer of gold and lead, the property is still underexplored
• Exploration drill discoveries from the 90s require additional drilling and definition

Geology of the Mina Angela Project
Mina Angela Project
GEOLOGY
• Low sulphidation epithermal gold vein systems
• Mineralized system is open at depth and along strike HISTORICAL WORK • Past lead producer (1936 – 1940)
• Past gold producer (1978 – 1992), 150,000 ounces
• Government records from 1983 – 1992 indicate the
extraction of 1.04 million tonnes of ore with average grades of 4.0 g/t gold, 48.4 g/t silver, 2.0% lead, 0.4% copper and 4.6% zinc

4. Crosby Property
Map shows precious and base metal projects only. Other operations such as iron and lithium are excluded.
• Crosby is strategically positioned contiguous to the Pirquitas Mine property
• The northwest trending anticlinal structure that hosts Silver Standards Pirquitas Mine, passes through Centenera’s Crosby property
