Quali may n Qualified Person Except as otherwise noted, Simon Hille, FAusIMM, Senior Vice President, Technical Services and Operations, is the Qualified Person under NI 43-101 responsible for preparing and supervising the preparation of the scientific or technical information contained in this presentation and verifying the technical data disclosed in this document relating to our operating mines and development projects. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred mineral resources are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as das mineral reserves. Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources Estimates and Related Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors The Company's mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates for Kisladag, Lamaque, Efemcukuru, Olympias, Perama Hill, Perama South, Skouries, Stratoni, Piavitsa, Sapes, Certej, and Ormaque, are based on the definitions adopted by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum, and in compliance with NI 43-101. NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. These standards differ from the requirements of the SEC that are applicable to domestic U.S. companies. The reader may not be able to compare the mineral reserve and mineral resources information in this presentation with similar information made public by domestic U.S. companies. The reader should not assume that: the mineral reserves defined in this presentation qualify as reserves under SEC standards; the measured and indicated mineral resources in this presentation will ever be converted to reserves; and the inferred mineral resources in this presentation are economically mineable, or will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The Company most recently completed its Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources annual review process with an effective date of September 30, 2022, a summary of which was published on December 5, 2022.
