FORWARD-LOOKINGSTATEMENTS - Except for the statements of historical fact contained herein, the information presented constitutes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Canadian and United States securities and other laws. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "aims", "anticipates", "will", "projects", or "believes" or variations (including negative variations) of such words and phrases, or statements that certain actions, events, results or conditions "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements in this presentation include, among other things, statements regarding estimates of mineral reserves and resources; the opportunities for exploration, development and expansion of the Railroad-Pinion Project, including the future organic growth of many favourable targets; advancing South Railroad toward a feasibility study by 2021; estimates of capital expenditures and operating costs related to South Railroad; future financial or operational performance, including the amount of future production at South Railroad and target share price; life of mine projections for South Railroad; the potential for production decisions; planned drilling and the potential for new discoveries within the Railroad-Pinion Project, including the potential for a multimillion-ounce deposit discovery; securing water rights and road access; planned metallurgical, hydrology and geotechnical studies on the Pinion deposit, including the proposed program for 2020; the potential to increase oxide reserves and resources at the Pinion and Dark Star deposits, including the potential to convert Inferred mineral resources to Measured and Indicated; the potential to add additional mine life to the operations proposed in the 2020 preliminary feasibility study for the Pinion and Dark Star deposits; the Dark Star deposit development targets, including the potential high-grade targets at North Dark Star; the potential to define mineral reserves and resources at Jasperoid Wash and Pod/Sweet Hollow, including opportunities to expand shallow oxide mineralization at Jasperoid Wash and to expand oxide resource potential at the Pod/Sweet Hollow deposit; the proposed drill programs at Jasperoid Wash and Pod/Sweet Hollow, including the potential to move Pod/Sweet Hollow forward as a future satellite deposit to extend project mine life; the oxide mineral resource mine development plan; and the expected exploration potential, value and operational synergies related to the Lewis Project.
These forward-looking statements and information reflect Gold Standard's current views with respect to future events and are necessarily based upon a number of assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Gold Standard, are inherently subject to significant operational, business, economic and regulatory uncertainties and contingencies. These assumptions include: the expected results of proposed exploration programs; our mineral reserve and resource estimates and the assumptions upon which they are based, including geotechnical and metallurgical characteristics of rock confirming to sampled results and metallurgical performance; tonnage of ore to be mined and processed; ore grades and recoveries; assumptions and discount rates being appropriately applied to the PFS; success of Gold Standard's projects, including the Railroad- Pinion Project; prices for silver and gold remaining as estimated; currency exchange rates remaining as estimated; availability of funds for the Gold Standard's projects; capital, decommissioning and reclamation estimates, including the availability of financing to complete proposed drilling and work programs; mineral reserve and resource estimates and the assumptions upon which they are based; prices for energy inputs, labour, materials, supplies and services (including transportation); no labour-related disruptions; potential director conflicts of interest not adversely affecting Gold Standard; no unplanned delays or interruptions in scheduled construction and production; all necessary permits, licenses and regulatory approvals are received in a timely manner; all necessary drilling and mining equipment, energy and supplies being obtained in a timely and cost- efficient manner; Gold Standard's capital and operating costs will not increase significantly from current levels; key personnel will continue their employment with Gold Standard and Gold Standard's ability to recruit and retain additional qualified personnel; the ability to comply with environmental, health and safety laws; and the absence of any material adverse effects arising as a result of political instability, terrorism, sabotage, natural disasters, public health concerns, equipment failures or adverse changes in government legislation or the socio-economic conditions in Nevada and the surrounding area with respect to the Railroad-Pinion Project and operations. The foregoing list of assumptions is not exhaustive.
Gold Standard cautions the reader that forward-looking statements and information involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements or information contained in this presentation and Gold Standard has made assumptions and estimates based on or related to many of these factors. Such risk factors include, without limitation: Gold Standard's limited operating history; Gold Standard's history of losses and expectation of future losses; uncertainty as to Gold Standard's ability to continue as a going concern; the existence of mineral resources and mineral reserves on the Company's mineral properties; Gold Standard's ability to obtain adequate financing for exploration and development; Gold Standard's ability to carry out operations in accordance with plans in the face of significant disruptions, including the COVID-19 pandemic; Gold Standard's ability to convert mineral resource estimates previously classified as Inferred to Indicated or Measured; the uncertain nature of estimating mineral resources and mineral reserves; the involvement by some of Gold Standard's directors and officers with other natural resource companies; uncertainty surrounding the Company's ability to successfully develop its mineral properties; fluctuations in silver and gold prices; fluctuations in prices for energy inputs, labour, materials, supplies and services (including transportation); fluctuations in currency markets (such as the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar); operational risks and hazards inherent with the business of mining (including environmental accidents and hazards, industrial accidents, equipment breakdown, unusual or unexpected geological or structural formations, cave-ins, flooding and severe weather); inadequate insurance, or inability to obtain insurance, to cover these risks and hazards; our ability to obtain all necessary permits, licenses and regulatory approvals in a timely manner; changes in laws, regulations and government practices in the United States, including environmental, export and import laws and regulations; legal restrictions relating to mining; risks relating to expropriation; increased competition in the mining industry for equipment and qualified personnel; the availability of additional capital; title matters; risks related to natural disasters, climate change, terrorism, civil unrest, public health concerns (including health epidemics or pandemics or outbreaks of communicable diseases such as COVID-19) and other geopolitical uncertainties; decreased spending as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic which could adversely affect and harm Gold Standard's business and results of operations; and the additional risks identified in the sections "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements and Forward Looking Information", "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in Gold Standard's Annual Information Form dated March 27, 2020, available on SEDAR at www.sedar.comand Form 40-F dated March 27, 2020 available on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml.
Although Gold Standard has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated, described or intended. Investors are cautioned against undue reliance on forward-looking statements or information. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof and, except as required under applicable securities legislation, Gold Standard does not assume any obligation to update or revise them to reflect new events or circumstances.
CAUTIONARY NOTE FOR U.S. INVESTORS REGARDING RESERVE AND RESOURCE ESTIMATES - Canadian public disclosure standards, including National Instrument 43-101Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"), differ significantly from the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission set forth in Industry Guide 7 ("Industry Guide 7"), and information concerning mineralization, deposits, mineral reserve and resource information contained or referred to herein may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S. companies in accordance with Industry Guide 7. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this presentation uses the terms "proven mineral reserves," "probable mineral reserves," "measured mineral resources," ''indicated mineral resources'' and ''inferred mineral resources''. U.S. investors are advised that, while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian securities laws, Industry Guide 7 does not recognize them. The requirements of NI 43-101 for identification of ''reserves'' are not the same as those of Industry Guide 7, and reserves reported by the Gold Standard in compliance with NI 43-101 may not qualify as ''reserves'' under Industry Guide 7. Under Industry Guide 7, mineralization may not be classified as a ''reserve'' unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part of a "measured mineral resource" or "indicated mineral resource" will ever be converted into a "reserve". U.S. investors should also understand that "inferred mineral resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of "inferred mineral resources" exist, are economically or legally mineable or will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian securities laws, estimated "inferred mineral resources" may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies except in rare cases. Disclosure of "contained ounces" in a mineral resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian securities laws. However, Industry Guide 7 normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute "reserves" by Industry Guide 7 standards as in place tonnage and grade, without reference to unit measures. Accordingly, information concerning mineral deposits set forth herein may not be comparable with information made public by companies that report in accordance with Industry Guide 7.
All scientific and technical information contained within this presentation has been prepared by, or under the supervision of, Steve R. Koehler, Gold Standard's manager of projects, BSc Geology, and CPG-10216, a qualified person as defined by NI43-101 standards for Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
Information in this presentation contains descriptions of our mineral deposits that may not be comparable to similar information made public by US companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under US federal securities laws and regulations. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Mineral Resource Estimates" in the AIF.
All references to "$" in this presentation are to U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING NON-GAAPFINANCIAL MEASURES - The Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this presentation, including all-in sustaining costs (AISC) per ounce of gold sold and average annual free cash flow. These non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Accordingly, these financial measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). This presentation refers to expected AISC per ounce which is a non-GAAP measure however is a measure the Company believes more fully-defines the total costs associated with producing gold. AISC reported by Gold Standard includes mine cash costs, land access payments, royalties, and sustaining capital expenditures, but excludes non-sustaining capitalized stripping and end of life reclamation costs. The life of mine AISC of $707/oz USD increases to $719/oz USD if end of mine life reclamation costs is included in accordance with the World Gold Council guidance on AISC. Average annual free cash flow is also a non-GAAP measure; however the Company believes that in addition to conventional IFRS measures, certain investors and analysts use this information to evaluate mine performance with respect to a mine's operating cash flow capacity to meet non-discretionary outflows of cash. Free cash flow is calculated as cash flows from operating activities adjusted for cash flows associated with sustaining and non-sustaining capital expenditures.

Notes to Reserves and Resources Tables
All estimates set forth in the Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources table have been prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). The estimates of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources have been reviewed and approved by Don Harris, SME Registered Member, our General Manager; Steven Koehler, P.Geo., our Manager of Projects; and Mark Laffoon, P.Eng., our Project Director, each of whom is a qualified person.
Mineral Resources are reported inclusive of Mineral Reserves. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Due to the uncertainty that may be attached to Inferred Mineral Resources, it cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will be upgraded to an Indicated or Measured Mineral Resource as a result of continued exploration. Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources figures have some rounding applied, and thus totals may not sum exactly. All ounces reported herein represent troy ounces, "g Au/t" represents grams of gold per tonne, and "g Ag/t" represents grams of silver per tonne. All $ references are in U.S. dollars. All Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources estimates are as at February 13, 2020. Metal prices utilized for Mineral Reserves estimates are $1,275 per ounce of gold. Metal prices utilized for Mineral Resources estimates are $1,500 per ounce of gold. All technical reports for the properties are available under our profile on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com or on our website at www.goldstandardv.com.
All key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources and the data verification procedures followed are set out in the technical report entitled "NI 43-101 Technical Report Update Preliminary Feasibility Study on the South Railroad Project, Elko County, Nevada" dated March 23, 2020 (the "South Railroad Technical Report"). For additional information about the South Railroad Project, readers are encouraged to review the South Railroad Technical Report.
