CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This website contains “forward-looking information” and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable Canadian and United States securities legislation. Forward-looking information includes information about possible events and conditions, projected financial or operational performance, planned courses of action, including without limitation future exploration, development and exploitation plans regarding the Company’s Morelos Gold Property (as defined herein), and related economic analyses.
The Company does not intend to update any forward-looking information unless it is required to do so by applicable securities laws.
There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could be materially different from those results anticipated in such information. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information.
Generally, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as “plans,” “expects,” or “does not expect,” “is expected,” “budget,” “scheduled,” “goal,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “anticipates,” or “does not anticipate,” or “believes” or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may,” “could,” “would,” “might,” or “will be taken,” “occur,” or “be achieved.” Examples of forward-looking information include, but are not limited to: the adequacy of the Company’s financial resources; business plans and strategy and other events or conditions that may occur in the future; plans to seek opportunities with a preference for the Americas that enable profitable and effective geographical diversification; the results set out in the Technical Report (defined below) including the Feasibility Study (defined below) of the Media Luna Project; the mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates; the ability to exploit estimated mineral reserves; the continued profitability of the El Limón Guajes mining complex (the “ELG Mine Complex”, comprised of the El Limón and El Limón Sur open pits (the “ELG Open Pits”), the El Limón Guajes underground mine including zones referred to as Sub-Sill and El Limón Deep (collectively, the “ELG Underground”) with positive economics from mining, recoveries, grades, annual production; receipt and maintenance of all necessary approvals and permits; the parameters and assumptions underlying the mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates and the financial analysis, and gold prices; the ability to maintain the safety and security of the ELG Mine Complex and the Media Luna Project; plans to continue to optimize and potentially extend the ELG Mine Complex; continued development of the ELG Underground and associated construction; the potential of the Morelos Property to provide significant future opportunities beyond the ELG Mine Complex and the Media Luna Project; expected metal recoveries and gold equivalent production (including without limitation the estimated gold sales by year); the Company’s expected operational outlook, including TCC, AISC and revenues from operations; the expectation that the Company will be able to remain in compliance with the covenants under its credit facility to access the full amounts available thereunder and to maintain at least $100 million of liquidity on the balance sheet; the ability to mine and process estimated mineral reserves; the planned transition from filtered to wet tailings and the commissioning of the copper and iron sulphide floatation circuits as part of the Media Luna Project; the ability to extend the life of mine (“LOM”) through investment in the Media Luna Project; plans to continue drilling within the Media Luna Cluster, within ELG Underground and near-mine and regional exploration and drilling; planned infill and expansionary drilling at EPO and the potential of EPO to support the Company’s efforts to fill the mill and maintain consistent gold equivalent production; the source of future power at the site including the commissioning of a 8.7 MW solar plant; planned upgrades to the processing plant related to the Media Luna Project; plans to adhere to the Responsible Gold Mining Principles of the World Gold Council as the Company’s external sustainability performance standard; the expected continual improvement in environmental performance; plans to gain full certification under the Mexican Industria Limpia (Clean Industry) program; ; plans to gain full certification under the International Cyanide Management Code; plans to provide additional disclosures aligned with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures; plans to achieve compliance with the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management; and plans to support progress on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Although the Company believes that the assumptions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking information are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking information because the Company can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES
The Company has presented certain non-GAAP measures on this website. Total cash costs per ounce of gold sold (“TCC”), all-in sustaining costs per ounce of gold sold (“AISC”), earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, net (cash) debt, average realized gold price and adjusted net earnings are financial performance measures with no standard meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and therefore may not be comparable to other issuers. The Company believes that these measures, while not a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS, provide investors an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance or financial position of the Company. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS. Please refer to the each of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the “Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures” section in the Company’s latest management discussion and analysis available on the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca for further information with respect to non-IFRS financial performance measures and a detailed reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial performance measures to the most directly comparable measures under IFRS.
DIFFERENCES IN REPORTING OF MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES
This information on this website has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ in certain material respects from the disclosure requirements promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). For example, the terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve”, “probable mineral reserve”, “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101") and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended. These definitions differ from the definitions in the disclosure requirements promulgated by the SEC. Accordingly, information contained or referenced on this website may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies reporting pursuant to SEC disclosure requirements.
