Caldas Gold Corp (TSX-V: CGC, OTCQX: ALLXF) was formed in a spin out by Gran Colombia Gold (TSX: GCM) in February 2020; GCM holds a 57.5% equity interest(1).

Caldas Gold is focused on a major underground mine expansion at Marmato to incorporate the Deep Zone mineralization.

The existing mine has been in operation since 1991 and has produced an average of ~24,000 ozs of gold annually over the last 10 years (2019 – 25,750 ozs).

Exploration drilling is continuing to upgrade and expand the Deep Zone mineralization.

$US110M stream financing with Wheaton Precious Metals to fund mine expansion.(2)

1) Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.2) All figures are rounded to reflect relative accuracy of the estimate. All composites have been capped where appropriate.3) Vein and Porphyry mineral resources are associated with the current Upper Zone mine using existing cut and fill mining methodology and are

reported at a cut-off grade of 1.9 g/t and gold recoveries of 90% for underground resources without considering revenues from other metals.4) Transition Zone is defined as mining of the Deep Zone above an elevation of 950 m accessed from the Upper Zone mine using a modified

longhole stoping method.5) Deep Zone mineral resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 1.3 g/t. Cut-off grades have been based on a price of US$1,500 per ounce of

gold and gold recoveries of 95% for underground resources, without considering revenues from other metals within a limiting pit shell. The DeepZone is defined as mining below an elevation of 950 m using longhole stope mining methods.

1) Mineral resources are inclusive of mineral reserves.2) All figures are rounded to reflect relative accuracy of the estimate. All composites have been capped where appropriate.3) Veins ore reserves are reported using a CoG of 2.23 g/t Au. The Veins CoG calculation assumes a US$1,400/oz Au price, 85% Au metallurgical recovery,

US$49.45/t mining cost, US$13.63/t G&A, US$12.24/t processing cost, and US$8.96/t royalties. Transition ore reserves are reported using a CoG of 1.91 g/tAu. The Transition Zone CoG calculation assumes a US$1,400/oz Au price, 95% Au metallurgical recovery, US$46/t mining cost, US$13.63/t G&A, US$12.24/tprocessing cost, and US$8.96/t royalties. MDZ ore reserves are reported using a CoG of 1.61 g/t Au. The Deep Zone CoG calculation assumes a US$1,400/ozAu price, 95% metallurgical recovery, US$42/t mining cost, US$14/t processing cost, US$6.75/t production royalties/taxes, US$3/t G&A, and US$3/t tailingscost. Note that costs/prices used here may be somewhat different than those in the final economic model. This is due to the need to make assumptions earlyon for mine planning prior to finalizing other items and using long-term forecasts for the LoM plan.

4) The Veins area is currently mined using cut-and-fill methods. Mining dilution ranges from 20% - 55%, averaging 26%, is included in the Reserves using a zerograde for dilution. A mining recovery of 90% is applied to stopes. The Transition Zone is envisioned to be mined using a modified longhole stoping method. Amining dilution of 7% is included in the Reserves using a zero grade for dilution. A mining recovery of 90% is applied to stopes.

5) The Deep Zone portion of the project is amenable to underground longhole open stoping mining methods. Mining dilution (internal and external) is included inthe Reserve. Stope dilution is 8%, and a portion of the stope dilution is applied using grade values based on average surrounding block information. A miningrecovery of 92.5% is applied to stopes.

Life‐of‐Mine Plan (“PFS”) Results (B)MARMATO PROJECT

Marmato mine in Zona Baja will comprise of two distinct operations: Upper Zone and Deep Zone.

Upper Zone: Immediate optimization of existing mining operation to reduce dilution, improving production and reducingcash costs, together with an expansion of the existing processing plant over the next two years from 1,200 tpd to 1,500 tpd.A total pf 5.1M tonnes to be processed over 13-year life with average LoM Au grade of 4.2 g/t resulting in 0.6M ounces ofgold (32% of total).

Deep Zone: US$269M initial capital in 2020 to 2023. Total of 14.6M tonnes processed over a 11-year life starting in mid-2023 at an average LoM Au grade of 2.9 g/t resulting in 1.3M ounces of gold (68% of total).

Combined: 1.9M ounces of gold with LoM cash cost of US$772 per ounce and LoM AISC of US$872/oz. At US$1,400 per ounce long-term gold price, total undiscounted LoM after-tax project cash flow of US$501M (NPV

5% - US$263M). Before financing, after-tax IRR = 20% and payback by 2026.

Gold was discovered in the Shining Tree area in the 1930’s.

Over 14,000 acres controlled through claims covering 10 km strike length on the mineralized trend.

Last 43-101 was prepared by Temex Resources in 2014 with 1.1 Mozs M&I @ 1.28 g/t and 2.9 Mozs Inferred @ 0.94 g/t.

Initial exploration phase will evaluate historical data incorporating machine learning and other studies to develop a drilling program for execution in 2021.
