Disclaimers
All statements, other than statements of historical fact, made and information contained in this presentation and responses to questions constitute
“forward-looking information” or “forward-looking statements” as those terms are defined under Canadian securities laws ( “forward-looking statements”).
Forward-looking statements may be identified by terminology such “believes”, “anticipates”, “expects”, “is expected”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “pending”,
“intends”, “plans”, “forecasts”, “targets”, or “hopes”, or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”,
“could”, “would”, “will”, “should” “might”, “will be taken”, or “occur” and similar expressions).
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict, and are usually
beyond the control of management, that could cause actual results to be materially different from those expressed by these forward-looking. Lundin Gold
believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, but no assurance can be given that these
expectations will prove to be correct. In particular, this presentation contains forward-looking statements pertaining to: the Company’s project financing
and sources of liquidity; the Company’s exploration plans and activities; the value of the Company and the trading price of its shares; estimates of mineral
resources and reserves; the rate of development of the project; production plans and profiles; projected capital and operating costs; permitting and
regulatory approvals; capital expenditures and requirements; the expectations of market prices and costs; the development, construction and operation of
Fruta del Norte; anticipated future tax payments and rates, cash flows and their uses; and benefits under the Company’s agreements with the Government
of Ecuador.
There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as Lundin Gold's actual results and future events could differ materially from
those anticipated as a result of the factors discussed in the "Risk Factors" section in Lundin Gold’s Management Discussion and Analysis for the financial
year ended December 2017 which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Forward-looking information should not be unduly relied upon.
The technical information contained in this presentation relating to the Fruta Del Norte Project is based on a Technical Report prepared for the Company
entitled “Fruta del Norte Project, Ecuador, NI 43-101 Technical Report on Feasibility Study” dated June 15, 2016 with an effective date of April 30, 2016 (the
"2016 FDN TR"). Information of a scientific and technical nature in this presentation was reviewed and approved by Ron Hochstein, P.Eng., Lundin Gold’s
President and Chief Executive Officer, and Steve Leary, MAusIMM CP(Geo), an independent consultant to Lundin Gold, both of whom are Qualified Persons
within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”).
Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar values herein are in US dollars.
Important Information for US Investors
This presentation may use the terms “measured", “indicated“, “inferred" and “historical” mineral resources. U.S. investors are advised that, while such
terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. “Inferred mineral
resources" and “historical estimates” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic feasibility. It
cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource or a historical estimate will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian
rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. Further, historical estimates are not
recognized under Canada’s NI 43-101. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated mineral resources will ever
be converted to mineral reserves.
This presentation is not an offer of securities for sale in the United States or in any other jurisdiction. The Company’s securities have not been and will not
be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended and may not be offered or sold within the United States absent registration or an
application exemption from registration.
