Canadian-listed (TSX: GCM) producer with offices in Toronto/Medellin.

Currently the largest underground gold and silver producer inColombia.

Advancing a project to expand and mechanize its high-grade gold andsilver mines at its Segovia Operations (~84% of total production).

The Marmato Project, one of the Top-20 largest undeveloped globalgold deposits, provides significant optionality to gold and silver priceswith current resources in excess of 14M ozs of gold and almost 90Mozs of silver. Deep mineralization holds potential to add resources.

The Zancudo Project, a former high grade producer, providesadditional exploration upside.

Successfully completed senior debt restructuring in January 2016;launched NCIBs in July 2016 to repurchase debt.

Gold production increased 18.5% to 117,000 ounces in 2015.• projecting 135,000 - 145,000 ozs in 2016…97,000 ozs through August.

AISC (full year average) below US$900/ oz for 2015.• projecting US$850 to US$950/oz for 2016….$802/oz in H1-2016.

Upside in resource expansion and exploration assets.

Leading Colombian high-grade underground gold producer. • undervalued versus peers!

H1‐2016 total cash cost for the Company was $682/oz, down 15% from H1‐2015, benefitting from:

Principal source of Gran Colombia’s gold production is the high‐grade resources at Segovia where the Company hascut costs and optimized its operating cost structure in recent years.

Fixed costs on a per ounce basis have decreased as a result of increased production in H1‐2016.

Devaluation of the Colombian peso in H2‐2015 positively impacted US$ equivalent costs in H1‐2016 vs H1‐2015.
