SEGOVIA OPERATIONS Maria Dama Processing Plant & Lab
Plant has capacity to handle up to 1,200 tpd at present; expanding to 1,500 tpd in 2019 at a capital cost of ~$1M.
Plant includes crushing, grinding, gravity concentration, gold flotation, cyanidation of the flotation concentrate, Merrill‐Crowe precipitation and refining of both the Merrill‐Crowe precipitate and gravity concentrate to produce a final doré.
Onsite lab provides quick turnaround of development samples; exploration samples processed in SGS Medellin.
New “El Chocho” tailings storage facility will receive material over the next six years and filter press will be commissioned in 2019; onsite water treatment facility is treating excess water to Colombian standards before being discharged.

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.

“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.
