Mountain of gold in historic mining district. Ranked inTop‐20 of undeveloped global gold deposits by size.

Deep zone drilling shows that mineralization at Marmatoextends at least 800m below the limit of the currentunderground mining operation and is still open at depth.

The 2018 drilling campaign has increased our confidencein the geological model, outlining a higher‐grade zonewith excellent continuity over 450 meters along strikeand strong vertical continuity for more than 300 metersbelow the deepest level of our existing mining operation.

Currently evaluating the potential to expandunderground mining operations. Completing additionaldrilling and technical studies toward expectedcompletion of a PEA by the end of 2019.

COLOMBIA

Colombia is a country of opportunities with a growing economy, one ofthe lowest inflation rates in Latin America and free trade agreementswith eight trading partners including the USA, European Union andmore than 100 designated free-trade zones.

Colombia’s government is very supportive of foreign investment and ithas the best investor protection in Latin America, 15th worldwide,according to the World Bank (2018).

Mining is a significant sector in the Colombian economy and one of thecountry’s largest export sectors.

Ranked #3 in Latin America for ease of doing business and #65globally according to the World Bank (Doing Business, 2018)

4th largest economy in South America (GDP $792 billion) (InternationalMonetary Fund, 2018)

The latest Colombia Tax Reform reduces the corporate income taxrate and repeals the 4% surcharge imposed on corporate income,reducing the total tax rate from 37% in 2018 to 33% in 2019, 32% for2020, 31% for 2021 and 30% for 2022 and onwards.

interest by incurring an aggregate of $10M ofexploration over a 6-year period.

2nd option granted for further 5% interest if feasibilitystudy completed.

The Zancudo Project is located 27 km south ofMedellin.

Excellent infrastructure. In Municipality of Titiribi, a town dependent on

mining (coal). Multi-million ounce epithermal to mesothermal vein

system in the Cauca Porphyry Belt, adjacent toBrazil Resources Titiribí Project (7.9 Moz AuInferred resources @ 0.5 g/t Au).

SANDSPRING RESOURCES

Hold ~18% equity interest in Sandspring Resources (TSX-V: SSP).

Sandspring’s Toroparu Project is considered to be one of the largest undeveloped gold deposits in South America with 10.4Mozs in-situ gold (MI&I) resources.

Vended in our 30% carried participating interest in the Chicharron Project in Segovia and subscribed for CA$4M (~$3M) in Sandspring’s private placement in July 2018; purchased additional shares for CA$1.7M (~$1.3M) in private transactions completed in October 2018 and February 2019.

GCM has representation on Sandspring’s board.

“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 

Sandspring acquired 100% of the rights to explore, develop and mine a 386 hectare area within our mining title in the Segovia area

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

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.
