In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, intentions, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including information in this document regarding the Transaction, contain forward-looking information. Statements containing forward-looking information are not historical facts but instead represent the companies' expectations, estimates and projections regarding possible future events or circumstances. The forward-looking information included in this document is based on the companies' opinions, estimates and assumptions in light of their experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, their assumptions regarding the Transaction (including, but not limited to, their ability to close the Transaction on the terms contemplated, and to derive the anticipated benefits therefrom), as well as other factors that they currently believe are appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances. The forward-looking information contained in this document is also based upon a number of assumptions, including the companies' ability to obtain the required securityholder, court and regulatory approvals in a timely matter, if at all; their ability to satisfy the terms and conditions precedent of the Arrangement Agreement in order to consummate the Transaction; assumptions in respect of current and future market conditions and the execution of the companies' business strategies, that operations in Mako's and Goldsource's properties will continue without interruption, and the absence of any other factors that could cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated, intended or implied. Despite a careful process to prepare and review the forward-looking information, there can be no assurance that the underlying opinions, estimates and assumptions will prove to be correct. Forward-looking information is also subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, failure to receive the required securityholder, court, regulatory and other approvals necessary to effect the Transaction; the potential for a third party to make a superior proposal to the Transaction; that Mako and its shareholders will not realize the anticipated benefits following the completion of the Transaction; that the Goldsource Meeting will not occur within the anticipated timeframe; and those set forth under the caption "Risk and Uncertainties" in Mako's management's discussion and analysis for the year ended on December 31st, 2024, Goldsource's management's discussion and analysis for the Goldsource circular dated May 9th, 2024, as amended, in respect of the Transaction, and other documents filed with or submitted to the Canadian securities regulatory authorities on the SEDAR+ website at www.sedarplus.ca.

Although the companies have attempted to identify important risk factors that could cause actual results or future events to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other risk factors not presently known to them or that they presently believe are not material that could also cause actual results or future events to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking information. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information, which speaks only as of the date made. The forward-looking information contained in this document represents the companies' expectations as of the date of this document and is subject to change after such date. Mako and Goldsource each disclaim any intention or obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking information whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable securities laws. All of the forward-looking information contained in this document is expressly qualified by the foregoing cautionary statements.

Scientific and Technical Information

All scientific and technical information relating to the San Albino Project contained in this presentation is derived from the technical report with an effective date of October 11th, 2023, as amended on June 10th, 2024 and titled "Amended Technical Report and Estimate of Mineral Resources for the San Albino Project Comprised of the San Albino and Las Conchitas Deposits, Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua" (the "Mako Technical Report") prepared by Steven Ristorcelli, C.P.G., Peter Ronning, P. Eng., Matthew Gray, C.P.G., Thomas Dyer, P.E., Brian Ray, P. Geo., and John Rust, Registered Member, SME. The information contained herein with respect to the San Albino Project is subject to all of the assumptions, qualifications and procedures set out in the Mako Technical Report and reference should be made to the full text of the Mako Technical Report, which is available under Mako's profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

Mako has not defined mineral reserves at its property and did not base its production decision in July 2021 on a Feasibility Study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability for the project. As such, the project is at high risk of economic or technical failure.

The scientific and technical information in respect of Mako in this presentation has been reviewed, verified and approved by Mr. John Rust, SME, who serves as Mako's qualified person, as defined in National Instrument 43- 101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"), and no limitations were imposed on the verification process. Mr. Rust is not independent of Mako as he is an employee of Mako.

All scientific and technical information relating to the Eagle Mountain Project contained in this presentation is derived from the technical report dated March 1, 2024 with an effective date of January 16, 2024 titled "Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Eagle Mountain Gold Project, Guyana" (the "Goldsource Technical Report") prepared by Nigel Fung, P. Eng., Leon McGarry, B.Sc., P.Geo., Antoine Berton, Soutex, P.Eng., and Rolf Schmitt, P.Geo. The information contained herein with respect to the Eagle Mountain Project is subject to all of the assumptions, qualifications and procedures set out in the Goldsource Technical Report and reference should be made to the full text of the Goldsource Technical Report, which is available under Goldsource's profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

The scientific and technical information in respect of Goldsource in this presentation has been reviewed, verified and approved by Mr. Eric Fier, CPG, who serves as Goldsource's qualified person, as defined in NI 43-101, and no limitations were imposed on the verification process. Mr. Fier is not independent of Goldsource as he is the Executive Chairman of Goldsource.

Mineral Exploration and Inferred Mineral Resources

Goldsource is a mineral exploration focused company and the Eagle Mountain Project is in the mineral exploration stage only. The degree of risk increases substantially where an issuer's properties are in the mineral exploration stage as opposed to the development or operational stage. Confidence in an inferred mineral resource estimate is insufficient to allow meaningful application of the technical and economic parameters to enable an evaluation of economic viability sufficient for public disclosure, except in certain limited circumstances set out in NI 43-101. There is no assurance that mineral resources will be converted into mineral reserves. The preliminary economic assessment in the Goldsource Technical Report is preliminary in nature, and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Third Party Information

This presentation includes market and industry data obtained from various publicly available sources and other sources believed by Mako and Goldsource to be true. Although Mako and Goldsource believe it to be reliable, the companies have not independently verified any of the data from third-party sources referred to in this presentation or analyzed or verified the underlying reports relied upon or referred to by such sources, or ascertained the underlying assumptions relied upon by such sources. Mako and Goldsource do not make any representation as to the accuracy of such information. Some numbers in this presentation may not be exact or add consistently due to rounding.

Non-IFRS and other Performance Measures

Mako discloses certain non-IFRS financial measures and ratios on its website from time to time, such as EBITDA (IFRS: operating income), adjusted EBITDA (IFRS: operating income), cash cost per ounce sold (IFRS: cost of

sales), total cash cost per ounce sold (IFRS: cost of sales), Development Capex (IFRS: Cash Flow from Investing Activities) and all-in sustaining costs ("AISC") per ounce sold (IFRS: cost of sales), which are common performance measures in the mining industry, but are not recognized measures under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to those presented by other companies.

In addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, investors often use such non-IFRS financial measures to evaluate Mako's underlying performance of its core operations and its ability to generate cash flow. Accordingly, the inclusion of such measures is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. "EBITDA" represents earnings before interest (including non-cash accretion of financial obligation and lease obligations), income taxes and depreciation, depletion and amortization.

"Adjusted EBITDA" represents EBITDA, adjusted to exclude exploration activities, share-based compensation and change in provision for reclamation and rehabilitation. "Cash costs per ounce sold" is calculated by deducting revenues from silver sales and dividing the sum of mining, milling and mine site administration cost.

"Total cash costs per ounce sold" is calculated by deducting revenues from silver sales from production cash costs and production taxes and royalties and dividing the sum by the number of gold ounces sold. Production cash costs include mining, milling, mine site security and mine site administration costs.

"Sustaining Capital" represents expenditures incurred during a production phase to sustain and maintain the existing assets so they can achieve constant expected levels of production from which Mako will derive economic benefits. Sustaining capital expenditures include expenditure for assets to retain their existing productive capacity as well as to enhance performance and reliability of the operations.

"AISC per ounce sold" includes total cash costs (as defined above) and adds the sum of G&A, sustaining capital and certain exploration and evaluation ("E&E") costs, sustaining lease payments, provision for environmental fees, if applicable, and rehabilitation costs paid, all divided by the number of ounces sold. As this measure seeks to reflect the full cost of gold production from current operations, capital and E&E costs related to expansion or growth projects are not included in the calculation of AISC per ounce. Additionally, certain other cash expenditures, including income and other tax payments, financing costs and debt repayments, are not included in AISC per ounce.

"Initial Capital" represents the sum of Development Capex Phase 1 + Development Capex Phase 2 of the project "Free Cash Flow" includes revenues net of operating costs, royalties, capital expenditures and cash taxes

Readers should refer to the latest Managements' Discussion and Analysis as well as other publicly available disclosure under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, for more detailed information regarding non-IFRS measures used.
