6 6 Cascabel (Cu-Au) JV between Cornerstone (15%) and SolGold (85%) subject to funding 100% through BFS Cornerstone also owns 9.22% of SolGold, or ~23% interest (direct & indirect) in Cascabel Gold enriched copper porphyry deposit at Alpala with mineral resource estimate

8 Cascabel MRE Alpala deposit Updated Mineral Resource Estimate¹ ( MRE ) Indicated: % Copper Equivalent (CuEq²) (8.4 Mt Cu, 19.4 Moz Au), including, 400 Mt high grade 1.49% CuEq (3.6 Mt Cu, 11.9 Moz Au) MRE reported at a cut-off grade of 0.2% CuEq, reflecting potential for economic extraction by block caving Note ¹: Mr. Martin Pittuck, MSc, CEng., MIMMM, is responsible for the MRE and is an independent qualified person as such term is defined in NI Note ²: The MRE is reported using a cut-off grade of 0.2% copper equivalent calculated using [copper grade (%)] + [gold grade (g/t) x 0.63]. 8

10 10 Cascabel JV Deal Terms Cornerstone will fund its 15% after Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS), however, the carried interest on completion of BFS is repaid out of production which is many years away. Libor + 2% is an extremely cheap source of financing and well below the cost of capital for both Cornerstone and SolGold and the key benefit of the carried interest If the BFS is positive, Cornerstone will raise our nominal share, which is only $150 million for every $1 billion in capex

11 11 Cascabel JV Deal Terms No one has a right of first refusal or other preemptive right on Cornerstone the listed company Any buyer of Cornerstone would simply step into our shoes with the carried interest The value of the carried interest is significant and has enabled Cornerstone to avoid the massive dilution that would otherwise have been necessary to fund our share of the BFS

12 12 Our Strategy Cascabel is the type of asset that will end up under the control of a well capitalized group that has the financial resources to build a large mine Strategic positioning of Cornerstone's direct and indirect stake of ~23% is extremely valuable and larger than both BHP and Newcrest s stakes in Cascabel Cornerstone will continue to advance other assets through JV s which enables Cornerstone to capitalize on our first mover advantage in Ecuador, retain a significant economic stake and have our JV partners put up the capital to advance the assets

14 14 Caña Brava (Au-Ag-Cu) Property hosts IS and HS epithermal gold-silver zones defined by extensive hydrothermal breccia and silica ribs developed on top of porphyry gold-copper style mineralization

15 15 Caña Brava (Au-Ag-Cu) Geological Map & DDH proposal Results strongly suggest that a porphyry system(s) lies at shallow depth below Soroche and Q. Caña Brava targets with peripheral higher level Intermediate Sulphidation veins at Soroche Norte Property never has been drilled Phase 1 drilling program of 3,200m is proposed 4 Mineralized Zones Defined Porphyry style at Q. Soroche and Q. Caña Brava Geology and proposed Phase 1 drilling program Epithermal style at Soroche Norte and Noreste

16 16 Bramaderos (Au-Cu) 4,949 ha concession granted on January 4, 2017 Underlain by a cluster of Au-Cu porphyries Gold (+ low grade copper) is present at surface as dissemination in porphyry and hydrothermal breccia bodies/pipes and in quartz veins. Extensive, 5 km by 1-2 km, gold and copper (+/- molybdenum) in-soil anomaly located in the central part of the property has been partially tested by trenching and historical diamond drilling Several anomalies still untested Property at drill-ready stage. Phase 1, 5000m drill program defined Drill permitting through the EIA process was commenced in May 2017 and is ongoing JV signed with Sunstone Metals (formerly Avalon Minerals) (ASX: STM), in June 2017 with first drilling anticipated before the end of Q2 2018, however the drill permit process has taken considerably longer than anticipated Sunstone can earn a 51% interest in Bramaderos by spending US$3.4 million over three years to complete a phase 1 drill program If this option is earned, Sunstone can go to 70% by funding a feasibility study and can go to 80% by financing 100% of the construction cost of a mine & mill PAN AMERICAN HIGHWAY

17 Bramaderos (Au-Cu) Multiple porphyry gold-copper and epithermal gold-silver targets West zone: Epithermal style mineralization Historical and recent trenching indicates strong results including 30m at 3.6g/t gold Indications of a possible porphyry at depth No previous drilling Bramaderos Main: Porphyry style mineralization. Historical diamond drilling has delivered 248m at 0.56g/t Au and 0.14% Cu from surface, including 30m at 0.8g/t Au and 0.2% Cu at bottom of hole Recent surface trenching has delivered strong gold and copper mineralization Limon: Porphyry style mineralization A 2km x 1km geological-geochemical-geophysical anomaly defined Trench LM-01 intersected 97.6m grading 0.71 g/t gold and 0.23% copper. No previous drilling Porotillo, Ghangue and Agua Salada: Porphyry and epithermal style mineralization Presence of strong magnetic bodies Edge of Porotillo target partially drill-tested Other targets never drill tested Surface exploration ongoing 17
