Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Information

TSXV: GTT 4

Certain statements included in this presentation constitute forward-looking statements, including those identified by the words “proposed”, “will”, anticipate”, “believe”, “plan”, “estimate”,

“expect”, “intend”, “may”, “should” and similar words and expressions to the extent they relate to GT Gold Corp. (the “Company”) or its management.

The forward-looking statements are not historical facts and are based on current expectations and various estimates, factors and assumptions, and therefore involve known and unknown risks,

uncertainties and other factors.

Any forward-looking statements represent the Company’s estimates only as of the date of this presentation and should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s estimates as of any

subsequent date. The material factors and assumptions that were applied in making the forward looking statements in this presentation include:

• execution of the Company’s existing plans or exploration programs for its properties, which may change due to changes in the views of the Company, or if new information arises which

makes it prudent to change such plans or programs; and

• the accuracy of current interpretations of geochemical, geophysical, drilling and other exploration results, since new information or new interpretations of existing information may result in

changes in the Company’s expectations. Readers should not place undue reliance on the Company’s forward-looking statements, as the Company’s actual results, performance or

achievements may differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements if known or unknown risks, uncertainties

or other factors affect the Company’s business, or if the Company’s estimates or assumptions prove inaccurate. Therefore, the Company cannot provide any assurance that such forward-

looking statements will materialize. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future

events or otherwise.

QA/QC PROCEDURES

GT Gold has implemented a rigorous quality assurance / quality control (QA/QC) program to ensure best practices in sampling and analysis of RC chips and diamond drill core, the complete

details of which can be viewed on the Company’s website at http://www.gtgoldcorp.ca/projects/tatogga/

For full details on both Saddle North and Saddle South reverse circulation and diamond drill program assay results widths reported in this presentation, please refer to the corresponding press

release available on the Company website at www.gtgoldcorp.ca/news/. All assays are performed by ALS Canada Ltd. (Minerals), with sample preparation carried out at the ALS facility in

Terrace, BC, and assays at the North Vancouver laboratory. Assay values are uncut. For gold, fire assays are performed as per ALS protocol Au-AA26 (0.01-100.00 g/t Au) using 50 grams of

sample with assays equal to or greater than 5 g/t Au calculated gravimetrically, and lower-grade samples measured by (AA) atomic absorption. All samples that return equal to or greater than 5

g/t Au from initial fire assaying are additionally sent for screen metallic analysis using the remainder of the pulp (~950 grams of sample). This step is taken to ensure that any coarse grained,

nugget gold fraction that may have been missed in the fire assays has been captured.

GT Gold Corp.’s Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 is Michael Skead, FAusIMM, VP Project Development. Mr. Skead has reviewed and approved the technical

information in this presentation.

SADDLE NORTH GEOLOGICAL MODEL

Preparation: Core Relog and Process Overview

41 Saddle North drill holes

(31,397 metres) relogged for lithology, alteration & structures

over winter 2019/2020

• Multi-element geochemistry used

to define cryptic lithologic breaks

• Geophysical modelling of magnetic

and Induced Polarization data

used to delineate various units of

lithological, alteration types, and

structures

• A series of hand drawn cross

sections and level plans were

completed for lithology, structure,

alteration and mineralization

• Scanned and georeferenced

sections were manipulated using

Leapfrog software to create a well-

constrained 3D geological model

mineralized zone

• Relatively planar

• Marks the southern

contact of porphyritic

• Characterized by

more brittle fracturing

SADDLE NORTH GEOLOGICAL MODEL

Lithology: Porphyry

• Gold-rich copper porphyry centered on

a series of monzodiorite and monzonite

intrusions

• Intrusive complex interpreted to represent a

series of igneous bodies intruded over a

relatively short period of time in late Triassic

• Minor post-mineralization felsic and mafic dykes

also observed

• Host country rocks belong to the Triassic Stuhini

Group

• The intrusive complex and its host rocks (Stuhini

Group) are overlain unconformably by the Lower

Jurassic Hazelton Group

mineral phases (I1-I2) and six less distinct and

generally better-mineralized older phases (P0-P5)
