Introduction

Montage Gold Corp. ("Montage" or the "Company") is a Canadian-based precious metals exploration and development company focused on opportunities in Côte d'Ivoire. The Company's flagship property is the Koné Gold Project, located in northwest Côte d'Ivoire, which currently hosts a Probable Mineral Reserve of 161.1Mt grading 0.66g/t for 3.42Moz of gold, as will be detailed in an updated technical report to be filed by the Company on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, which report will also constitute a definitive feasibility study of the Koné Gold Project (the "DFS").

Forward-looking Information

This presentation contains "forward-looking information" (referred to herein as "forward-looking statements") under the provisions of applicable Canadian securities legislation regarding Montage and the mineral properties of Montage located in Côte d'Ivoire (the "Montage Projects"), including the Koné Gold Project. Generally, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", "believes" or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will", "occur" or "be achieved" or the negative connotation thereof.

The mineral reserve estimates and the mineral resource estimates (collectively, the "MRE") for the Koné Gold Project and the Gbongogo deposit and the economic analysis thereof included in the DFS are forward-looking statements in that they reflect a prediction of the mineralization that would be encountered, and the results of mining, if a mineral deposit were developed and mined. Forward-looking statements in this presentation include, but are not limited to, those in respect of: the MRE; the timing and amount of future production from the Koné Gold Project; expectations with respect to the IRR, NPV, payback and costs of the Koné Gold Project; anticipated mining and processing methods of the Koné Gold Project; anticipated mine life of the Koné Gold Project; expected recoveries and grades of the Koné Gold Project; timing for the DFS; planned expansion of the Koné Gold Project; the expected closing of the Mankono Transaction; the future exploration programs at Mankono and districtwide at the KGP; expectations that the Gbongogo Inferred Mineral Resource will become an Indicated Mineral Resource; other current and planned initiatives and objectives in respect of Montage's capitalization, liquidity, capital resources and expenditures; mineral resource expansion potential and other growth opportunities; exploration and drilling plans; development timelines; business development strategies and outlook; planned capital expenditures, planned work programs and targets, drilling programs and other initiatives in respect of the Montage Projects; and economic performance, financial conditions and expectations.

Forward-looking statements are developed by management based on factors and assumptions that management considers reasonable, including: those factors and assumptions with respect to grade, recoveries, realized prices, costs, planned construction and production schedules set out on the slide titled "Disclosure Regarding Mineral Reserve and Resource Estimates" and that are set out in the press release dated February 14, 2022 with respect to the MRE and the DFS and that will be set out in the DFS and filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com; that the MRE is accurate; that the cost to develop the Koné Gold Project will be as set out in the DFS; that the Company will have sufficient working capital to explore, develop and operate any other proposed mineral projects; that the Company will have access to adequate services and supplies; that there will be no material adverse change affecting the Company or its properties; that all required approvals and permits will be obtained when required, including concession renewals and permitting; that the political and legal environment will be stable and that developments will be consistent with current expectations; that currency, interest and exchange rates will be consistent with current levels; that there will be no significant disruptions affecting the Company or its properties; that the Company will have access to capital and debt markets and associated costs of funds will be as expected; that a qualified work force will be available when needed; that the ultimate ability to mine, process and sell mineral products will be on economically favourable terms; and that the effects of COVID-19 on the global economy and the operations of Montage and the Montage Projects will not be more adverse than expected.

Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause any of the following to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements: the MRE; the timing and amount of future production from the Koné Gold Project; the IRR, NPV, payback and costs of the Koné Gold Project; anticipated mining and processing method of the Koné Gold Project; anticipated mine life of the Koné Gold Project; or expected recoveries and grades of the Koné Gold Project. Actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of Montage and/or the Montage Projects may be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Risks that may cause these forward-looking statements to be materially different, include but are not limited to: risks related to uncertainties inherent in the preparation of mineral reserve and resource estimates and definitive feasibility studies such as the MRE and the DFS, including but not limited to, assumptions underlying the production estimates not being realized, incorrect cost assumptions, unexpected variations in quantity of mineralized material, grade or recovery rates, unexpected changes to geotechnical or hydrogeological considerations, unexpected failures of plant, equipment or processes, unexpected changes to availability of power or the power rates, failure to maintain permits and licenses, higher than expected interest or tax rates, adverse

changes in project parameters, unanticipated delays and costs of consulting and accommodating rights of local communities, environmental risks inherent in the Côte d'Ivoire, title risks, including failure to renew concessions, unanticipated commodity price and exchange rate fluctuations, risks relating to COVID-19, delays in or failure to receive access agreements or amended permits.

The Company also faces generally risks that companies developing gold mines face, including that the Company has a limited business history, with no assurance of revenues; that estimating mineral reserves and mineral resources is risky; that exploration and development is speculative and may not result in profitable mining operations; that mining requires substantial capital, resulting in significant financing risks and shareholder dilution; that global financial conditions may impact Montage's ability to raise additional funds; that the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting mining operations and the global economy; that negative operating cash flows are expected to continue and will need to be funded; that the future price of gold is uncertain and may be lower than expected; that gold prices and exchange rates are volatile and unpredictable and may not be as anticipated; that commercial viability may not be achieved even with an acceptable gold price; mining operations are very risky; operations during mining cycle peaks are more expensive; that built or planned infrastructure may be inadequate; that Montage's rights in its mineral properties could be lost, be defective or be subject to challenges and claims; that Montage's insurance coverage may be inadequate and result in losses; that Montage may fail to comply with the law resulting in adverse financial penalties; that Montage may fail to obtain or renew necessary permits and licences to develop and operate its properties; that climate change may make mining operations more expensive; that compliance with environmental regulations can be costly; that social and environmental activism can negatively impact exploration, development and mining activities; that unexpected geological, hydrological and climatic events could suspend mining operations or increase costs.

In addition, Montage faces the following risks: that Perseus Mining Limited exercises significant control over Montage; that price volatility of publicly traded securities may impact returns to and investor; that foreign investments and operations are risky; that there are conflicts of interest that may result in the interests of other issuers or shareholders being preferred to the Montage shareholders; that the influence of third-party stakeholders may result in the interests of other parties being preferred to the detriment of Montage; that taxes may be significantly higher than expected; that Montage must

compete with larger entities for resources; that Montage is dependent on management; that legal proceedings can be costly and distract management from operating the business; as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in Montage's Annual Information Form available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Non-GAAP Measures

This presentation includes certain terms or performance measures commonly used in the mining industry that are not defined under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), including "cash costs" and "all-in sustaining costs" (or AISC) per payable ounce of gold sold and per tonne processed. Non-GAAP measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and, therefore, they may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies. The Company discloses "cash costs" and "all-in sustaining costs" because it understands that certain investors use this information to determine the Company's ability to generate earnings and cash flows for use in investing and other activities. The Company believes that conventional measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS, do not fully illustrate the ability of mines to generate cash flows. The measures, as determined under IFRS, are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flows from operating activities. The measures cash costs and all-in sustaining costs are considered to be key indicators of a project's ability to generate operating earnings and cash flows. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS and are not necessarily indicative of operating costs, operating profit or cash flows presented under IFRS. Readers should also refer to our management's discussion and analysis, available under our corporate profile at www.sedar.com for a more detailed discussion of how we calculate such measures.
