This presentation contains “forward-looking statements”. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to theCompany’s current review of potential mineral project investments and/or acquisitions, the estimation of mineral resources, the timing and content ofupcoming programs, the realization of mineral resource or reserve estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production,capital expenditures, success of mining operations, environmental risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, title disputes or claims and limitations oninsurance coverage. In certain cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”,“is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, or “believes”, or variations of such wordsand phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”.

Such factors include, among others, risks related to international operations; actual results of planned expansion activities; changes inproject parameters as plans continue to be refined; future prices of resources; exchange rates for Canadian and U.S. currencies; possible variations ingrade or recovery rates, accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or inthe completion of development or construction activities. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actualactions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, eventsor results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.

Atlantic Peer Benchmarking

Source: Capital IQ, S&P Global Market Intelligence, NBF estimates

Note: Atlantic production figures represent NBF estimates; Operating cash flow based on street consensus

1. Analyst consensus estimates

2. Aurelia production based on FY’19 company guidance; Operating cash flow represents FY’19 figure; Implied mine life based on average FY’19-FY’21 production divided by Hera and Peak reserves

3. Dacian production based on 2019 research estimate; Operating cash flow represents ‘19 figure; Implied mine life based on average ’19-’20 production divided by Mt Morgans reserves

4. Geopolitical risk ratings calculated based on weighted score of S&P Global Market Intelligence country risks (Political, Operational, Security, Terrorism) by asset, whereby weights for each risk are ascribed as follows: Insignificant = 0, Low = 2, Medium = 8, High = 10, Extreme = 12. Risk ratings for portfolios of assets calculated using production-weighted average of all assets

5. Average ‘18-’20 production divided by attributable reserves from mines currently in production

Milled head grade for Q2 2018 was 11% below life of mine reserve grade due to constraints in the pit where historical

tailings had to be removed and prevented access to higher grade ore for more than 6 weeks. Access to the higher grade

mining blocks was achieved by the end of June

Continue to see good reconciliation between the resource model grade and milled grade

Steady-state mill operations with throughput and recoveries that continue to exceed design criteria

Q2 production above guidance and supporting full year production guidance of 82,000-90,000 ounces as announced on

Current pit shell

Detailed knowledge of the Touquoy deposit has provided us with an understanding of how the mineralization is controlled by rock

type – here concentrated within the grey argillite – and also by structure – for example this blue fault is a sharp boundary between

ore and waste, and may represent part of the plumbing system that fed gold-bearing fluids into the argillites.

How Do We Approach The Business Differently?

38

The gold development business is really no different to other businesses – it's about risk management,

capital discipline and execution

There are more risk management tools in mining in the gold sector

• Grade control drilling in open pits provides higher data density for improved precision

for ore and waste definition in advance of mining and capital investment

• Open pit mining lower risk than underground

• Gold distribution in disseminated deposits is usually best modelled

with both geology AND modern statistical analysis

• EPC fixed price turn key contracts pass capex

over-run risk to contractor’s balance sheet
