FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION AND LEGAL DISCLAIMERS

2

The data, information, and opinions contained or referred (the “Information”) in this presentation of Guyana Goldfields Inc. (the “Company”) contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements.” Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or developments in our industry, to differ materially from the anticipated results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, but not always, identified by the words “expected”, “targeted”, “advanced”, “appears”, “scheduled”, “guidance”, “on plan”, “test”, “potential” and similar expressions, or that events or conditions “will”, “would”, “may”, “could” or “should” occur. Information inferred from the interpretation of drilling results and information concerning mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates may also be forward-looking statements, as such information constitutes a prediction of what might be found to be present when and if a project is actually developed. Forward-looking statements in this document also include statements regarding: the Company’s strategy, projects, priorities and plans (including the Company’s proposed life of mine optimization plan at the Aurora Gold Mine), future financial or operating performance, business prospects, planned capital expenditures, cost reduction initiatives, exploration programs, plans and targets, corporate social responsibility initiatives, potential upgrades of mineral resources to mineral reserves, and certain corporate objectives, goals and plans for 2019.

There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate. Actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially or otherwise from the Company’s expectations include, among others: risks related to fluctuations in mineral prices; uncertainties related to raising sufficient financing to fund planned work in a timely manner and on acceptable terms; changes in planned work resulting from weather, logistical, technical or other factors; the possibility that results of work will not fulfill expectations and realize the perceived potential of the Company’s properties; uncertainties involved in the estimation of resources and reserves; the possibility that required permits may not be obtained on a timely manner or at all; the possibility that capital and operating costs may be higher than currently estimated and may preclude commercial development or render operations uneconomic; the possibility that the estimated recovery rates may not be achieved; risk of accidents, equipment breakdowns and labour disputes or other unanticipated difficulties or interruptions; the possibility of cost overrun or unanticipated expenses in the work program; the risk of environmental contamination or damage resulting from the Company's operations; risks associated with title to mineral properties; and other risks and uncertainties discussed appear elsewhere in the Company’s documents filed from time to time with the and Canadian securities regulators.

Certain forward-looking statements contained herein may also be considered to be future-oriented financial Information or a financial outlook for the purposes of applicable Canadian securities laws. Future oriented financial Information and financial outlook contained herein about prospective financial performance, financial position or cash flows are based on assumptions about future events, including economic conditions and proposed courses of action, based on the applicable management team’s assessment of the relevant Information available to them at the applicable time, and to become available in the future. In particular, the Information contains projected operational Information for future periods which are based on a number of material assumptions and factors. The actual results of the applicable operations for any period could vary from the amounts set forth in these projections, and such variations may be material. Further, there is no assurance or guarantee with respect to the prices at which any securities of the Company will trade, and such securities may not trade at prices that may be implied herein. See above for a discussion of the risks that could cause actual results to vary from such forward-looking statements.These forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions, including assumptions regarding general market conditions, the availability of financing for proposed transactions and programs on reasonable terms, the cost of exploration and development and the ability of outside service providers to deliver services in a satisfactory and timely manner. Forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, estimates and opinions of the Company’s management on the date the statements are made. Except as expressly required by applicable securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements in the event that management’s beliefs, estimates or opinions, or other factors, should change.

This presentation uses the terms “Inferred Resource”, “Indicated Resource”, “Measured Resource” and “Mineral Resource”. The Company advises readers that although these terms are recognized and required by Canadian securities regulations (under National Instrument 43-101), the US Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize these terms. Readers are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. In addition, "Inferred Resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that any part of an Indicated or Inferred Mineral Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under applicable Canadian securities laws, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, or economic studies except for a Preliminary Assessment as defined and permitted under National Instrument 43-101. Readers are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an Inferred Resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable. The Mineral Resources stated in this presentation are not Mineral Reserves and, in the absence of a current feasibility study, do not demonstrate economic viability. The determination of Mineral Reserves can be affected by various factors including environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical, and marketing issues.

For further information on the Aurora Gold Mine, see the Technical Report entitled, “Technical Report on the Aurora Gold Mine, Guyana” on the Company’s profile on SEDAR (the “RPA Report”).

IMPROVED GEOLOGICAL UNDERSTANDING Fold Control to Gold Mineralization

• Current understanding suggests gold mineralization is controlled by fold closures as opposed to mineralized shear zones

• Structure characterized by penetrative cleavage / foliation striking ~3000

• Fold hinge lines plunge 700 to 800 to the NE

• Continuity of mineralization along the Z-Axis (good plunge continuity) and short horizontal (X-Y) dimensions

• Rory’s Knoll diorite characterized by a broad zone of brittle deformation, preferentially mineralized

• In satellite deposits gold mineralization concentrated in fold hinges and as foliation parallel veins in fold limbs

UPDATED MINERAL RESOURCE STATEMENT

18

Notes:1. CIM (2014) definitions were followed for Mineral Resources. Mineral Resources are inclusive of Mineral Reserves2. Open pit Mineral Resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.52 g/t Au for saprolite and 0.70 g/t Au for fresh rock, and underground Mineral Resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 1.2 g/t Au for

Rory’s Knoll area, and 1.7 g/t Au for other areas. Cut-off grades are based on a price of US$1,500 per ounce of gold and gold recoveries dependent on mine method, material type, and/or location.3. Minimum mining widths of 5 m for open pit and 3 m for underground were used.4. Bulk density is 2.8 t/m3 for fresh mineralization and 1.73 t/m3 for saprolite mineralization.5. Stockpile data based on EOY 2018.6. Mineral Resources are inclusive of Mineral Reserves.7. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.8. Numbers may not add due to rounding.9. The mineral resource estimate was prepared by David Ross, P.Geo., and Katharine Masun, P.Geo., both of RPA Inc., “qualified persons” under NI 43-101 and independent of the Company.10. The Company confirms that there are no known legal, political, environmental, or other risk factors that could materially affect the development of the Mineral Resources

Notes:1. CIM (2014) definitions were followed for Mineral Reserves.2. Open pit Mineral Reserves are estimated at a cut-off grade of 0.60 g/t Au for saprolite and 0.83 g/t Au for fresh rock.3. Underground Mineral Reserves are estimated at a cut-off grade of 1.50 g/t Au for Rory’s Knoll and 2.20g/t Au for satellite deposits.4. Mineral Reserves are estimated using an average long-term gold price of US$1,200 per ounce.5. Open pit Mineral Reserves used a minimum mining width of 5 m. 6. A minimum mining width of 5 m was used for Rory’s Knoll underground and a minimum width of 3 m was used for the satellite deposits.7. Bulk density is 2.8 t/m³ for fresh mineralization and 1.73 t/m³ for saprolite mineralization.8. Numbers may not add due to rounding.9. The mineral reserve estimate was prepared by Jason Cox, P.Eng. of RPA Inc., a “qualified person” under NI 43-101 and who is independent of the Company.10. The Company confirms that there are no known legal, political, environmental, or other risk factors that could materially affect the development of the Mineral Resources

RATIONALE FOR OPTIMIZED LOM PLAN

33

“Optimization of the underground production and development plan has not been completed, as the Rory’s Knoll underground is ready before the open pit is complete.” -RPA, 43-101 Report

Source: Company reports

Starting Point: 43-101 Ore Mined vs Mill CapacityRationale for optimization:

• RPA not able to optimize production plan due to time constraints

• OP pre-strip requirements peak in 2020 coinciding with peak UG capex spend

• Sizeable stockpile of 2.4Mt built up in 2021

• Remove/reduce financing requirements

OPTIMIZED LOM PLAN APPROACH

34

Item Approach

Open Pit • Redesign phases at Rory’s Knoll to reduce strip ratio in 2019/2020 & lower mining rate

• Ramp gradient of 12% vs 43-101 study of 10% (40t rigid frame trucks can achieve 15%)

• No change to ultimate pit design

Underground • Production tonnes deferred where possible to align with new OP schedule & to reduce stockpile build up

• Development schedule slowed down & matched to align with UG ore production schedule

• No changes to actual mine design

Processing • No changes to throughput or recovery assumptions

Operating Costs • No changes to operating cost assumptions

Capital Costs• Defer/reduce UG capex profile where appropriate based on new schedule

OPPORTUNITIES

• UG development - current design appears conservative; opportunity to reduce number of meters of development per level

• Power savings - current cash flow model does not incorporate savings from reduced power costs from the deferral of UG refrigeration

• UG refrigeration - opportunities to eliminate altogether (as has been assumed in previous studies)

• Processing - opportunity to optimize mill operations from 2023 onwards when mill capacity only being partially utilised

• Cost reduction initiatives - tangible opportunities being pursued not incorporated in cash flow model

LONG TERM DEBT RETIRED

64

On April 30, 2019, the Company elected to retire the remaining debt balance of US$35M. Under theoriginal terms, the debt was contemplated over $5M quarterly principal repayments until extinguishmentat the end of 2020. No prepayment penalties apply.

The early retirement election was taken for the following reasons:

Provides immediate reduction in interest and administration costs, forecasted to be approximately$3M over the remaining life of the loan

Eliminates the administrative burden to advance the underground development associated with loancommon terms agreement

Release of all security associated with the loan, to allow for flexibility in exploring new financingalternatives

Release of $3M of restricted cash currently on the balance sheet as a condition of the existing loan

While the current plan envisions the self-funding of underground development through 2019 and 2020,management is actively exploring various alternatives with institutions and advisors looking at financingalternatives available to provide additional balance sheet flexibility through the next 24 months.
