Q3 2014 RESULTS

Segovia Q3-2014 impacted by mine infrastructure limitations while simultaneously carrying out mine development

and internal ramps construction as part of the Pampa Verde project. Increased head grades holding in Q3-2014.

Marmato Tonnes processed increased in Q3-2014 to 818 per day; best quarterly production in last two years.

At Segovia, workforce reductions and spending cuts have been key to reductions to date.

At Marmato, production volume has been more influential in reducing costs on a per ounce basis.

Q4-2014 cash costs expected to be close to $900/oz at both mines – production/COP rates/gold price.

Reductions in cash costs and G&A since the beginning of 2013 have been the key to our success in reducing AISC to the current level.

Positive impact of production growth on fixed costs per ounce, natural hedge to gold prices in our cost structure and COP devaluation will be key drivers to expected future AISC reductions.

• Mine development

– Continuing to make progress

• Focus on Providencia, Sandra K and El Silencio mines

– Going to take more time than previously expected to reach 10,000 ozs/month level….now by mid-2015

• Limitations in historical mine infrastructure, particularly material handling

– Construction of internal ramps underway to alleviate this issue

• Hoisting equipment and other material handling systems still generally in older condition

– Upgrading maintenance programs and adding new, more experienced maintenance management personnel

• Employee training is key as we introduce mechanization into historical mining practices

– Already underway and first group of operators has been successfully qualified

2014 OUTLOOK

Guidance

• 2014 total annual gold production of 100,000 ozs:

– 77,000 ozs from Segovia Operations.

– 23,000 ozs from Marmato Underground.

• Updated Segovia life-of-mine plan in process.

– Preliminary information indicates 2015 annual production of 115,000 ozs.

– Completion of updated LOM plan this year.

• Q4-2014 AISC expected to be $1,025/oz at current gold prices in $1,150-$1,170 range. Improvement vs Q3-2014 due to:

– Impact on fixed costs and spending of Segovia’s Q4 production growth.

– Impact on cash costs of lower gold prices due to natural hedge in Segovia’s contract mining costs and in production taxes at both operations.

– Impact of COP devaluation from Q3-2014 average of 1,908 to current level of 2,100.

• Advisors engaged to assist in the evaluation of options to address liquidity given need to fund debt service of senior notes and complete Pampa Verde project.
