(5.74%) DISCLOSURE CODE: (Please refer to the disclosures listed on the back page) Source: RCKS estimates, Company Information, Capital IQ SNL Base Metals Index 1, 2, 3, 4 Company Description SolGold plc, together with its subsidiaries, engages in the exploration of mineral properties in Ecuador, Australia, and Solomon Islands. The company primarily explores for gold, copper, and silver deposits. Its flagship project is the Cascabel project that covers an area of approximately 50 square kilometers located in Quito, Ecuador. The company was formerly known as Solomon Gold plc and changed its name to SolGold plc in May 2012. SolGold plc was incorporated in 2005 and is based in Brisbane, Australia. 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 Impact: Positive SolGold has exceeded expectations with its recent resource update for its Alpala deposit in Ecuador. The expansion of the high-grade core has exceeded our previous estimates, resulting in an increase to our NAVPS estimate. This resource update paves the way for company to publish initial economics on this world class project in early 2019E. We continue to view Alpala and the wider Cascabel project as a world-class deposit with scale potential that separates it from the pack. Highlights: Expansion of the high-grade core exceeds expectation, benefits our estimates. Besides our expectation of a doubling of the Alpala resource, we expected a 50% increase in the highgrade core at Alpala Central (Figure 2). High-grade core results beat our estimates by 17% on tonnes, 17% on grade and 33% on contained metal. In our view, project economics are driven by the high-grade core, and this growth has boosted our estimates. A significant increase in contained CuEq. Using the 0.3% CuEq cut-off, contained copper increases by 77%, while grades remained relatively consistent. Importantly, there was a significant increase in Indicated tonnes both overall and for the high-grade core, improving our confidence in the potential of this deposit (Figure 1). It is likely that the most recent strategic investment in to Solgold by BHP anticipated this higher-grade core improvement. Better grades, better payback. To remain conservative, we have modelled the continuous portion of the high-grade core (mined years 1-7) to be 180Mt grading 1.85% CuEq (was 180Mt grading 1.67% CuEq), which has allowed for a better payback, reflected in an increase in the project IRR to 24% (was 20%). The increase in grade has allowed for a 19% increase in the projects after-tax NPV to US$2.82B (was US$2.38B). Valuation: Resource update drives increase in our estimates. By accounting for the recent resource update at Alpala, we have increased our NAVPS for SolGold to C$1.47/sh (was C$1.30/sh). SolGold trades at a slight premium to peers (0.44x NAV vs peers 0.36x) and we believe a further premium is warranted given the scarcity and scale of Cascabel and that willing suitors are ready to pounce. Upcoming catalysts: 1) Ongoing exploration and 2) Maiden PEA (Q1/19). Priced as of prior trading day's market close, EDT (unless otherwise noted). All values in USD unless otherwise noted.

Detailed comments: A 77% increase in contained CuEq. As a result of this resource update, we have increased our mineable resource to 1.99Bt grading 0.45% Cu and 0.32g/t Au (0.66% CuEq) for 20.1Blb Cu and 20.3Moz (28.9Blb CuEq), which represents an 84% increase in tonnage, 3% decrease in grade and a 77% increase in contained metal on a copper equivalent basis (Figure 1). We must note that the global resource is now 83% indicated and 17% inferred (was 46% indicated and 54% inferred), which should assist the Company s progression to PEA and FS. We note that for our estimates, we continue to use the 0.3% CuEq cut-off grade, which we used for our initial estimates. This is in line with other similar scale block cave projects. Using the 0.3% CuEq cut-off, Alpala's 1.99Bt grading 0.66% CuEq makes it a world-class copper project and is among the world s largest undeveloped copper projects (Figure 6).

Expansion of the high-grade core exceeds expectations. Besides our expectation of a doubling of the Alpala resource, we expected a 50% increase in the high-grade core at Alpala Central (Figure 1) from 120Mt grading 1.8% CuEq to 180Mt grading 1.67% CuEq with a cut-off of 1.1% CuEq. We were pleasantly surprised to see that SolGold has increased its high-grade core (1.1% CuEq cutoff) to 210Mt grading 1.11% Cu and 1.33g/t Au (1.95% CuEq) for 5.1Blb Cu and 8.8Moz (8.8Blb CuEq), which represents a 100% increase in contained metal on a copper equivalent basis. This beat our estimates by 17% on tonnes, 17% on grade and 33% on contained metal (Figure 2). We must note that the high-grade core is now 97% indicated and 3% inferred (was 60% indicated and 40% inferred), which improves our level of confidence in the potential of this deposit. As we expect the company to mine the high-grade core early in the mine life, the high-grade core is critical for the economics of the project to justify the significant US$2.6B in initial capex and US$1.5B in expansion capex for development of the 100ktpd block cave operation.

We have modified the global resource in our Cascabel model to be 1.99Bt grading 0.65% CuEq (was 2.16Bt grading 0.65% CuEq). We also have incorporated the new high-grade core into our estimates by making the assumption that a maximum of 85% of the highgrade core can be mined continuously in years 1-7, which is supported visually in Figure 3. Therefore, to remain conservative, we have modelled the continuous portion of the high-grade core to be 180Mt grading 1.85% CuEq (was 180Mt grading 1.67% CuEq). The increase in grade in the early years allow for a better payback for the company s initial and expansion capex as operations ramp up from 50ktpd to 100ktpd, which is reflected in an increase in the project IRR to 24% (was 20%). The increase in grade has allowed for a 19% increase in the projects after-tax NPV to US$2.82B (was US$2.38B). Following the extraction of the high-grade core, we forecast 1,774Mt averaging 0.54% CuEq (was 1,980Mt grading 0.56% CuEq) to be mined from years 7-57, which has resulted in a slight increase in our LOM cash cost to US$ 1.49/lb (was US$ 1.35/lb) (Figure 4 & 5).

Given the significant growth of the high-grade core at Cascabel, we stress-tested our model to assess the potential economics of the project if a developer were to step in and only develop the high-grade core of the deposit. Without changing throughput, operating costs or capital costs, and increasing the cut-off grade to 1.1% CuEq so that we only model the high-grade core, a global resource of 180Mt grading 1.85% CuEq gives a NAVPS of C$1.28/sh. Although unrealistic (other project parameters would need to change), the test indicates that the project and our valuation relies heavily on the high-grade core at Alpala Central. As well, it demonstrates that there is potential for a smaller and higher-grade operation at Cascabel. 5

As previously highlighted, the technical success achieved in hole 64 with 402 grading 0.65% CuEq indicates potential for a second porphyry system adjacent to Alpala. Hole 64 was drilled deep into the northwest target and intersected primary bornite mineralization, which is indicative of an additional porphyry core. Although a technical success, more drilling in this northwest sector towards Trivinio needs to be done to confirm potential scale and grade (Figure 3). We have not factored a second porphyry system into our estimates, but with 12 rigs turning (10,500m of core per month) and the company s track record so far, we can expect further resource expansion potential to continue to be highlighted to the market in ongoing news flow. 6

The resource update confirms our view regarding resource growth at Alpala and has resulted in a 11% increase in our modelled grade for the high-grade core to 1.85% CuEq (was 1.67% CuEq), which is behind a significant increase in project economics with a new after-tax NPV of US$2.82B with a 24% IRR (was US$2.38B with a 20% IRR). Based on these estimates, we have increased our NAVPS for SolGold to C$1.47/sh (was C$1.30/sh). We believe that the PEA expected in early 2019 and ongoing exploration success are likely to drive our base case NAVPS8% to C$1.47/sh. SolGold trades at a slight premium to peers (0.44x NAV vs peers 0.36x) and we believe a further premium is warranted given the scarcity and scale of Cascabel and that willing suitors are ready to pounce. Upcoming catalysts include: 1. Ongoing exploration (Q4/18) 2. Maiden PEA (Q1/19) 3. Feasibility Study 7
