7 EXPLORATION TARGET RANGE Exploration Target Range (ETR) to reveal project potential 2017 Resource released on drilling to date In areas drilled, Resource: o tonnage exceeds upper limit of range o metal content and grade within predicted range Drilling shows ETR models provide reliable predictions for continued resource growth Total Project Area ETR is not a resource calculation, and there is no guarantee that the project will achieve these resources if and when further drilling is done. Areas Drilled 2017 Resource within ETR 7

13 2017 Resource Region Esperança South Esperança Center Project Total Resource Category Indicated Inferred Tonnage (Mt) Grade (g/t Au) Metal Content 1 (Moz Au) 0.5 Indicated Inferred Indicated Inferred The metal content estimates reflect gold in situ, and do not include factors such as external dilution, mining losses and process recovery losses. Numbers have been rounded to reflect the precision of Inferred and Indicated mineral resource estimates. The reporting cutoff corresponds to the approximate marginal cutoff for an open pit with total operating cost (non-waste mining + processing + G&A) of $US 15.00/t, metallurgical recovery of 98% and a gold price of $US 1,200/oz. These are mineral resources and not reserves and as such do not have demonstrated economic viability. TriStar is not aware of any environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-economic, marketing or political factors that might materially affect these mineral resource estimates. 13

18 DEPOSITIONAL ENVIRONMENT Two billion years ago, a large continent lay near the South Pole, with a chain of lode gold deposits along its central mountain ridge. Gold accumulated in placer deposits down-slope, in alluvial fans, on beaches and in the near-shore marine environment. In modern times, these now include gold deposits at Tarkwa, Jacobina and Castelo de Sonhos. Castelo de Sonhos ~10 Moz Au 1.9 g/t (pit) Jacobina Tarkwa ~30 Moz Au 1.2 g/t (pit) Plate Data provided by Dr. Bruce Eglington (University of Saskatchewan) 18
