- 18. TSX: GCM OTCQX: TPRFF October 2019 MARMATO PROJECT Mountain ofgold in historic mining district. Mineralization is hosted by sheeted pyrite vein system in dacite to andesite porphyry stocks. Deep Zone drilling shows that mineralization is continuous along strike for ~500 m and has a confirmed down dip extent that reaches up to 800 m with a thickness that varies between 35 m and 150 m. It remains open at depth and to the east. The 2018‐19 drilling campaigns have increased our confidence in the geological model contributing to inclusion of additional Deep Zone mineralization in the latest Mineral Resource update. Currently finalizing PEA document for underground mine expansion incorporating the Deep Zone mineralization. Commencing additional drilling and technical studies toward expected completion of a PFS by mid‐2020. Gran Colombia has announced its intention to spin out the Marmato mining assets to a new listed vehicle. Mine Expansion Opportunity 18 The Future of Marmato is Going Underground 11% 2018 Production Gran Colombia announced its intention on October 7, 2019 to spin out the Marmato mining assets in Zona Baja to a new listed vehicle in a transaction with Bluenose Gold Corp. (TSX‐V: BN.H) whereby: Bluenose will consolidate its shares on a 1‐for‐10 basis resulting in 10.6M shares I&O. Gran Colombia will vend‐in the Marmato mining assets (C$57.5M valuation) plus C$5M in cash for an initial ~75% position in Bluenose. Bluenose will complete a brokered private placement raising C$10M‐C$15M of C$2.00 Units (one share + one warrant at C$3.00 for 5 years), diluting Gran Colombia to between 56% and 67% depending on final deal size and exercise of warrants and options by third party investors. Expect to close RTO and equity financing mid‐December 2019.
