Cautionary StatementForward-Looking InformationThis Presentation contains “forward-looking information” and “forward looking statements” within the meaning of applicable Canadian and United States securities legislation. Forward-looking information may include, but is not limited to, the anticipated production and developments in our operations in future periods, information with respect to our planned exploration and development activities, the adequacy of our financial resources, the estimation of mineral reserves and resources including the 2016 Valley of the Kings Mineral Resource estimate, realization of mineral reserve and resource estimates and timing of development of our Brucejack Project, costs and timing of future exploration, results of future exploration and drilling, production and processing estimates, capital and operating cost estimates, timelines and similar statements relating to the economic viability of the Brucejack Mine, timing and receipt of approvals, consents and permits under applicable legislation, our executive compensation approach and practice, the composition of our board of directors and committees and adequacy of financial resources. Wherever possible, words such as “plans”, “expects”, “projects”, “assumes”, “budget”, “strategy”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “intends”, “targets” and similar expressions or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved, or the negative forms of any of these terms and similar expressions, have been used to identify forward-looking statements and information. Statements concerning mineral reserve and resource estimates may also be deemed to constitute forward-looking information to the extent that they involve estimates of themineralization that will be encountered if the property is developed. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking information. Forward-looking information is subject to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking information, including, without limitation, those risks identified in our Annual Information Form dated March 28, 2018 filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and in the United States on Form 40-F through EDGAR at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Forward-looking information is based on the expectations and opinions of our management on the date the statements are made. The assumptions used in the preparation of suchstatements, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise. We do not assume any obligation to update forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, other than as required by applicable law. For the reasons set forth above, prospective investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information. CurrencyUnless otherwise indicated, all dollar values herein are in US $.

Notes to InvestorsNational Instrument 43-101Technical and scientific information contained herein relating to the Projects is derived from National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) compliant technical reports (“Reports”), “Measured, Indicated, and Inferred Mineral Resource Update” dated July 21, 2016, “Feasibility Study and Technical Report on the Brucejack Project, Stewart, BC” dated June 19, 2014, “Mineral Reserve Update” dated December 15, 2016, “capital cost update” dated February 3, 2017, and . We have filed the Reports and Update under our profile at www.sedar.com. Technical and scientific information not contained within the Reports for the Projects have been prepared under the supervision of Mr. Ivor W.O. Jones, M.S.c., FAusIMM, Cpgeo, Mr. Kenneth C. McNaughton, P.Eng., Ian Chang, P.Eng., Mr. Russell Pennel, B.A.S.c., P.Eng., and Mr. LyleMorgenthaler, B.A.S.c., P.Eng. each of whom is an independent “qualified person” under NI 43-101.This presentation uses the terms “measured resources”, “indicated resources” (together “M&I”) and “inferred resources”. Although these terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations (under NI 43-101), the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues. There is no guarantee that all or any part of the mineral resource will be converted into mineral 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 all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, 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 under NI 43-101. Investors are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an inferred resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable. Non-IFRS Financial Performance MeasuresThe Company has included certain non-IFRS measures in this presentation. The Company believes that these measures, in addition to measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, provide investors an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company and to compare it to information reported by other companies. The non-IFRS measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to other issuers.The non-IFRS financial measures included in this presentation include: cash costs per ounce of gold sold, all-in sustaining cost per ounce of gold sold, adjusted earnings or loss, adjusted earnings or loss per share, and average realized price per ounce of gold sold. Please refer to the Non-IFRS Performance Measures section of the Company’s MD&A filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and in the United States on Form 40-F through EDGAR at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov for a detailed discussion and reconciliation of the non-IFRS measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures. The Company believes that in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, the Company and certain investors and analysts use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance. In particular, management uses these measures for internal valuation for the period and to assist with planning and forecasting of future operations. The presentation of non-IFRS measures is not meant to be a substitute for the information presented in accordance with IFRS.
