This presentation of Guyana Goldfields Inc. (the "Company") containsstatements that constitute "forward-looking statements." Such forward-lookingstatements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factorsthat may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, ordevelopments in our industry, to differ materially from the anticipated results,performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-lookingstatements. Forward looking statements are statements that are not historicalfacts and are generally, but not always, identified by the words "expects,""aims," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "intends," "estimates," "projects,""potential" and similar expressions, or that events or conditions "will," "would,""may," "could" or "should" occur. Information inferred from the interpretation ofdrilling results and information concerning mineral resource and mineral reserveestimates may also be deemed to be forward looking statements, as suchinformation constitutes a prediction of what might be found to be present whenand if a project is actually developed. Forward-looking statements this documentinclude statements regarding: the Company's expectations regarding drillingand exploration activities on properties in which the Company has an interest;and the Company's statements regarding estimates of reserves and resourceson properties in which the Company has an interest.
There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate.Actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated insuch statements, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance onthese forward-looking statements that speak only as of their respective dates.Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from theCompany's expectations include among others, risks related to fluctuations inmineral prices; uncertainties related to raising sufficient financing to fundplanned work in a timely manner and on acceptable terms; changes in plannedwork resulting from weather, logistical, technical or other factors; the possibilitythat results of work will not fulfill expectations and realize the perceived potentialof the Company's properties; uncertainties involved in the estimation ofresources and reserves; the possibility that required permits may not beobtained on a timely manner or at all; the possibility that capital and operatingcosts may be higher than currently estimated and may preclude commercialdevelopment or render operations uneconomic; the possibility that the estimatedrecovery rates may not be achieved; risk of accidents, equipment breakdownsand labour disputes or
other unanticipated difficulties or interruptions; the possibility of cost overrun orunanticipated expenses in the work program; the risk of environmentalcontamination or damage resulting from the Company's operations; risksassociated with title to mineral properties; and other risks and uncertaintiesdiscussed appear elsewhere in the Company's documents filed from time totime with the Toronto Stock Exchange and Canadian securities regulators.
These statements are based on a number of assumptions, includingassumptions regarding general market conditions, the availability of financing forproposed transactions and programs on reasonable terms, the cost ofexploration and development and the ability of outside service providers todeliver services in a satisfactory and timely manner. Forward-looking statementsare based on the beliefs, estimates and opinions of the Company'smanagement on the date the statements are made. Except as expresslyrequired by applicable securities laws, the Corporation undertakes no obligationto update these forward-looking statements in the event that management'sbeliefs, estimates or opinions, or other factors, should change.
This presentation uses the terms "Inferred Resource", "Indicated Resource",“Measured Resource” and "Mineral Resource". The Company advises readersthat although these terms are recognized and required by Canadian securitiesregulations (under National Instrument 43-101 "Standards of Disclosure forMineral Projects"), the US Securities and Exchange Commission does notrecognize these terms. Readers are cautioned not to assume that any part or allof the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves.In addition, "Inferred Resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to theirexistence, and economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that anypart of an Indicated or Inferred Mineral Resource will ever be upgraded to ahigher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resourcesmay not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, or economicstudies except for a Preliminary Assessment as defined and permitted underNational Instrument 43-101. Readers are cautioned not to assume that part orall of an Inferred Resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable. TheMineral Resources stated in this presentation are not Mineral Reserves and, inthe absence of a current feasibility study, do not demonstrate economic viability.The determination of Mineral Reserves can be affected by various factorsincluding environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, andmarketing issues.

Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.3. All figures have been rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimates. Number may not add due to rounding.4. Open pit mineral resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.30 g/t for Saprolite and 0.40 g/t for Fresh rock respectively, and underground mineral resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 1.8 g/t. Cut-off
grades are based on a price of US$1,300 per ounce of gold and a gold recoveries of 97 percent for saprolite and 94.5 percent for fresh material.5. Mineral resources have been adjusted using the 2017 EOY topography, to account for open pit mining to date, and include ore stockpile inventories as of EOY 2017.6. The qualified person is not aware of any mining, metallurgical, infrastructure, permitting, or other factors that could materially affect the mineral resource estimates.7. The mineral resource estimate for Rory’s Knoll was prepared under the supervision of Tim Maunula, of T. Maunula & Associates Consulting Ltd. Mr. Maunula is a “qualified person” under NI 43-101 and
