  2. Forward Looking Information Statements relating to our belief as to the timing of completion of the environmental assessment, the results of the final public hearings, the timing of receipt of a project certificate and permits and the timing of the start of construction and the first gold pour, and the results of further optimization studies to the feasibility study, the potential tonnage and grades and contents of deposits and the potential production from and viability of Sabina’s properties are forward looking information within the meaning of securities legislation of certain Provinces in Canada. Forward looking information are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, but not always identified by the words “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “estimates,” “projects,” “potential,” “opportunities,” and similar expressions, or that events or conditions “will,” “would . ” “may,” “could,” or should occur. The forward looking information is made of the date of this presentation. This forward looking information is subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward looking information, including, without limitation: the effects of general economic conditions; changing foreign exchange rates; risks associated with exploration and project development; the calculation of mineral resources and reserves; risks related to fluctuations in metal prices; uncertainties related to raising sufficient financing to fund the planned work in a timely manner and on acceptable terms; changes in planned work arising from weather, logistical, technical or other factors; the possibility that results of work will not fulfill expectations and realize the perceived potential of the Company’s properties; risk of accidents, equipment breakdowns and labour disputes; access to project funding or other unanticipated difficulties or interruptions; the possibility of cost overruns or unanticipated expenses in the work program; title matters; government regulation; obtaining and receiving necessary licences and permits; the risk of environmental contamination or damage resulting from Sabina’s operations and other risks and uncertainties including those described in Sabina’s annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2015 available at www.sedar.com Forward looking information is based on the beliefs, estimates and opinions of Sabina’s management on the date the statements are made. Sabina undertakes no obligation to update the forward looking information should management’s beliefs, estimates or opinions, or other factors, change, except as required by applicable law 2

  3. Key Investment Highlights A scarcity of gold and de-risked gold projects make Sabina one of the few highly leveraged undervalued opportunities  Regional scale (80km belt)  Final stage of environmental  Large high grade assessment  Attractive to producers resource/reserve  Excellent jurisdiction looking to replenish supply  Feasibility complete  Exceptional team  Robust at US$1150 gold  ~C$45 million in cash and C$0.80 3

  7. Project Optimizations  Flotation vs whole ore leach  Increased Recoveries  Positive impact on CAPEX and OPEX  Opportunities for satellite deposits (eg: George)  Increased Gold Price  US$1,200 gold price Echo, Llama UG & George are accretive to the project – increased mine life with existing resources  Imbedded growth – all existing deposits remain open, numerous exploration opportunities  Personnel and expertise availability (both for construction and operations)  Access to used equipment (mining, process and infrastructure)  Exploration opportunities for many years to come 8
