  2. DISCLAIMER Forward ‐ Looking Statements This presentation contains "forward ‐ looking information", which may include, but is not limited to, statements with respect to the future financial or operating performance of the Company and its projects, and, specifically, statements concerning anticipated growth in annual gold production, reduction of cash costs and AISC, future G&A, capex and excess cash flow, interest payments on the senior debt and future purchases and/or redemptions of the senior debt. 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", "anticipates", or "believes" or variations (including negative variations) of such words and phrases, or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward ‐ looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Gran Colombia to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward ‐ looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward ‐ looking statements are described under the caption "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Information Form dated as of March 30, 2016 which is available for view on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Forward ‐ looking statements contained herein are made as of the date of this presentation and Gran Colombia disclaims, other than as required by law, any obligation to update any forward ‐ looking statements whether as a result of new information, results, future events, circumstances, or if management's estimates or opinions should change, or otherwise. There can be no assurance that forward ‐ looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward ‐ looking statements. TSX: GCM January 2017 2

  3. Gran Colombia Gold Leading Colombian high-grade underground gold producer. • undervalued versus peers! Annual gold production increased 28% to 149,687 ounces in 2016. AISC (full year average) expected to be US$825 to US$850/oz for 2016 compared with US$863/oz in 2015. Upside in resource expansion and exploration assets. Canadian-listed (TSX: GCM) producer with offices in Toronto/Medellin. Currently the largest underground gold and silver producer in Colombia. Advancing a project to expand and mechanize its high-grade gold and silver mines at its Segovia Operations (~84% of total production). The Marmato Project , one of the Top-20 largest undeveloped global gold deposits, provides significant optionality to gold and silver prices with current resources in excess of 14M ozs of gold and almost 90M ozs of silver. Deep mineralization holds potential to add resources. The Zancudo Project , a former high grade producer, provides additional exploration upside. Reduced senior debt by $36M (19%) in 2016 through debt conversions and NCIB repurchases following January 2016 debt restructuring. TSX: GCM January 2017 3

Unique RPP contract license grants mining rights in perpetuity.  Currently advancing a project to develop, expand and mechanize underground mining operations. Executing a 10,000 meters drill program that commenced in May 2016 to upgrade and expand resources.  Local contract cooperative mining model is successfully leveraging artisanal mining capabilities in high-grade secondary pillar recovery operations and improving environmental management in the area.  Maria Dama plant has been expanded to handle up to 1,500 tpd.

  6. MARMATO PROJECT  Mineralization is hosted by sheeted pyrite vein system in dacite to andesite porphyry stocks.  Mountain of gold in historic mining district.  Existing underground mining operation with production of 23,450 ozs of gold in 2016.  Cash cost (2) averaged US$962/oz in 9M-2016.  Ranked in Top-20 of undeveloped global gold deposits by size.  Deep zone drilling in 2012 shows that mineralization at Marmato extends at least 800m below the limit of the current underground mining operation and is still open at depth. Merits further exploration.
