  1. June 12, 2019 – Hope Bay Site Visit Doris Mine and Plant

  2. Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information Readers are cautioned that we will be making forward-looking comments. To fully understand the risks inherent in our comments, forecasts and estimates you are encouraged to read our Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2018 and our Management Discussion and Analysis for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 together with our Financial Statements for the same period as well as the Management Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2018 together with our Financial Statements for the same period. 2

  6. Culture of Collaboration and Communication ❑ Strong leadership with the addition of COO, GM, and AGM ❑ Significant reduction to turnover ❑ Plant improvements, Madrid crown pillar mining, approved permits ❑ HR presence to coach leaders on employee relations matters ❑ Succession plans in place and realized ❑ Two-day Leadership Essentials training implemented with the following objectives: Set the tone and expectations of leadership and culture at TMAC ▪ Increase self-awareness as a leader ▪ Develop and practice essential leadership skills ▪ ❑ Respect in the Workplace training ❑ Continue to provide cross-cultural awareness training ❑ Annual review of compensation to ensure competitiveness with the market 6

  8. Hope Bay Exploration Potential ❑ Hope Bay has tremendous exploration potential ❑ Demonstrated by: Gold ozs discovered to date is well below expected level as compared to similar Archean belts • Archean gold deposits typically show strong vertical continuity and extent • Current Hope Bay resources are at comparatively shallow depths • Hope Bay Hemlo Red Lake Kirkland Lake 8

  9. Low Relative Risk Profile ❑ Geopolitical: Hope Bay has high-grade and often outcropping mineralization, located in a low-risk mining jurisdiction ❑ Corporate Social Responsibility: Strong social license and high alignment with Inuit communities and leadership ❑ Permitting: Permitted for significant development, expansion and production at established deposits across the Hope Bay Belt (ahead of schedule) with excellent support of communities and regulators ❑ Safety: One of the safest mines in Canada in 2018 – Injury Frequency Rate at one-third of Ontario peers ❑ Environmental: Strong environmental record with lower risks than seen at other mines (e.g., tailings dam) 9

  10. Strong Q1-2019 ❑ Record production, AISC and Cash Costs drive earnings and EBITDA Q1-19 earnings $0.06 per share and Adjusted EBITDA $28.6 million ▪ AISC US$992 per ounce and Cash Costs US$658 per ounce ▪ Production 40,050 ounces and sales 39,200 ounces ▪ ❑ Improved Plant performance Commissioning of Plant retrofit nearing completion ▪ Recoveries continue to improve to 84% in Q1-19, up from 82% in Q4-19 ▪ ❑ Continued successful exploration, especially high-grade BTD ❑ Balance sheet management increases financial flexibility Amended credit facility eliminates US$26 million (~C$35 million) of principal ▪ repayment in next four quarters and eases covenants 10

  11. Rising Gold Production and Declining Costs 2019 Guidance Production: 160-180koz Costs: $625-$700/oz cash costs, $900-$1,000/oz AISC (1) (1) Computation of AISC is in accordance with the World Gold Council guidelines 11

  12. Building Value in 2019 and Beyond ❑ Continuing quarter-over-quarter operational improvement Ramp-up coming to end and optimization of productivity and cost next ▪ ❑ Return to strategy of growing value through exploration ❑ Q4-19 target release of updated PFS for disciplined Hope Bay Belt development focused on stakeholder value ❑ Re-establish TMAC as a premium valued equity High-grade assets with unique growth opportunity ▪ Disciplined management team focused on value opportunity and risk mitigation ▪ Realize benefit of great jurisdiction and social license ▪ Active balance sheet management ▪ Address share trading illiquidity strategically, but only if it is value-added ▪ 12
