Information about comparable companies was obtained from public sources.the comparables were selected based on their status as gold producers, with some companies with operations within Latin America. Cash costs, AISC, Mine EBITDA, and EBITDA margin are non-gaap financial performance measures with no standard meaning under IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The authors of the NI Technical Report and Preliminary Economic Assessment, Los Filos Gold Mine, Guerrero State, Mexico (the Technical Report ), William A. Glover, P.Eng., Allan L. Schappert, CPG, and Dawn H. Garcia, PG, CPG of Stantec Consulting International LLC. ( Stantec ) and Alfred S. Hayden, P.Eng. of EHA Engineering Ltd., are each a qualified person as defined in NI and independent of the Company, and have prepared or supervised the preparation of the technical information upon which this presentation is based. The Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Bermejal Underground Expansion Project (The Bermejal Underground PEA or PEA ) is a conceptual study of the potential viability of Mineral Resources of the Bermejal Underground project. The PEA is not a Prefeasibility Study or Feasibility Study, as the economics and technical viability of the Bermejal Underground project have not been demonstrated at this time. The PEA is preliminary in nature, and is based on inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves, and there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Doug Reddy, P.Geo, Leagold s Senior Vice President Technical Services, is a Qualified Person under NI , and has reviewed and approved the technical contents of this presentation on behalf of Leagold.

25 Notes to Mineral Reserves and Resources Notes for Mineral Reserves Total Open Pit Mineral Reserve Statement 1. Los Filos Open Pit and Bermejal Open Pit deposits included. 2. Mineral Reserves are contained within Measured and Indicated pit designs and supported by a mine plan, featuring variable throughput rates (depending on the pit being mined), variable metallurgical recoveries (depending on geometallurgical domain), and cutoff optimization. 3. Mineralization reported for Los Filos Open Pit includes the mineralization within the planned 4P pit extension. Mineralization reported for Bermejal Open Pit includes the mineralization within the planned Guadalupe pit extension. 4. Metal price assumption for gold was US$1,200/oz. 5. The Los Filos Open Pit crush-leach ore is based on an operational g/t Au cutoff grade; ROM ore is based on a variable to g/t Au operational cutoff grade that is determined by lithology. The Los Filos Mineral Reserve is based on a g/t Au cutoff grade. The Bermejal Open Pit crush-leach ore is based on an operational g/t Au cutoff grade; ROM ore is based on a variable to g/t Au operational cutoff grade that is determined by lithology. 6. Process gold recoveries vary from 64% to 77% for crush-leach ore and from 49% to 59% for ROM ore at Los Filos Open Pit; recoveries at Bermejal Open Pit vary from 53% to 73%. A 5% silver recovery is assumed from all geometallurgical domains. 7. Rounding, as required by reporting guidelines, may result in apparent summation differences between tonnes, grade, and contained metal content. 8. Tonnage and grade measurements are in metric units. Contained gold and silver ounces are reported as troy ounces. Total Underground Mineral Reserve Statement 1. Includes Los Filos Underground deposits only. 2. Mineral Reserves are contained within stope designs that have a minimum horizontal continuity of 10 m, a height of 3 m, and supported by a mine plan that features variable stope mining width from 3m to a design width depending on zone and cutoff optimization. 3. Metal price assumption for gold was US$1,200/oz. 4. Mineral Reserves are reported based on a cutoff grade of 3.77 g/t Au for stopes within 100 m of a planned ramp and 4.44 g/t Au for stopes further from the ramp. 5. Dilution is assigned a zero grade and assumed to be 0.80 m thickness on average. 6. Mining recovery is variable, based on stope width and can range from 75% to 100%. 7. Process gold recoveries are estimated at 80%. A 5% silver recovery is assumed from all zones. 8. Rounding, as required by reporting guidelines, may result in apparent summation differences between tonnes, grade, and contained metal content. 9. Tonnage and grade measurements are in metric units. Contained gold and silver ounces are reported as troy ounces. Notes for Mineral Resources Total Mineral Resources Amenable to Open Pit Mining Methods 1. Los Filos Open Pit and Bermejal Open Pit deposits included. 2. Mineral Resources are inclusive of Mineral Reserves. 3. Mineral Resources do not include recovery or dilution factors. 4. Mineral Resources are reported to a gold price of US$1,400/oz. 5. Mineral Resources are defined with Lerchs-Grossman pit shells that use variable mining and recovery estimates, depending on the geometallurgical domain and whether mineralization is projected to report to crush-leach or is considered typical ROM for processing requirements. 6. Tonnages are rounded to the nearest 1 kt, grades are rounded to two decimal places for gold and silver; rounding, as required by reporting guidelines, may result in apparent summation differences between tonnes, grade, and contained metal content. 7. Tonnage and grade measurements are in metric units. Gold and silver contained ounces are reported as troy ounces. 8. Oxide and sulfide materials are included in the resource estimation. Total Mineral Resources Amenable to Underground Mining Methods, Bermejal Underground Mineral Resource in the PEA 1. Los Filos Underground and Bermejal Underground deposits included. 2.
