It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an "inferred mineral resource" will ever byupgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian securities laws, estimates of "inferred mineral resources" may not form the basis of feasibilityor pre-feasibility studies.

Production targeted for year-end 2018• Past producing mine in northern Brazil with the

majority of infrastructure still in place• PFS in 2016 outlined low-cost, high-margin gold mine 1

• Feasibility underway with completion expected around the end of Q1-2017

• Capex estimated at $146 million for 8,000 tpd operation 1

• AISC of $708/oz puts Aurizona in lower third of industry average 1

• Gold production estimated at 150,000 oz/year for first five years 1

Exploration potential• Over 100,000 metres of drilling to date• Significant potential to extend initial 6.5-year mine life

with near-mine exploration success• JV with AngloGold Ashanti to explore 2,000 km2

Near-mine exploration• Luna Gold planning 2017 exploration program

to test near-mine drill ready targets on strike with existing reserves

450 km2 brownfields exploration• Limited surface work and drilling has identified

a number of drill targets, including Touro which has a footprint >6 km2

Open to depth• High-grade "root" to the mineralized system

tested up to 500m below surface; current PFS mine plan contemplates mining to only 220 m

AngloGold Ashanti district-scale exploration• In August 2016 AngloGold commenced

exploring ~2,000 km2 of greenfields permits to earn 70% interest

The Mineral Reserve estimate has an effective date of June 21, 2016 and is based onthe Mineral Resource estimate effective on April 30, 2016. The Mineral Reservecalculation was completed under the supervision of Gordon Zurowski, P.Eng of AGPMining Consultants Inc., who is a Qualified Person as defined under NI 43-101.Mineral Reserves are stated within the final design pit based on a $1,104 per ouncegold price pit shell with a $1,200 per ounce gold price for revenue. The cutoff gradewas 0.38 g/t Au for all pit areas. The mining cost averaged $2.32 per tonne mined,processing averages $11.30 per tonne milled and G&A was $2.84 per tonne milled.The process recovery averaged 90.5%. The exchange rate assumption applied wasR$3.50 equal to $1.00. The PFS scope only considers the Piaba and Boa Esperançaopen pit mineralized zones. The Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimatescontained herein may be subject to legal, political, environmental or other risks thatcould materially affect the potential development of such Mineral Resources. Seethe Company's press release dated September 12, 2016 and the Company's latesttechnical report relating to the Aurizona Gold Project for additional information withrespect to the key assumptions, parameters and risks relating to the mineralresource and reserves estimates and other technical and scientific informationpresented herein. The Mineral Resource estimate has an effective date of April 30,2016 and was prepared by Mr. Brett R. Marsh, C.P.G. of Phoenix Geoscience, LLC,who is a qualified person under NI 43-101. Mineral Resources are inclusive ofMineral Reserves. Mineral Resources that are not included within the MineralReserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Mineral Resources arestated at the following cutoff grades for open pit: Piaba: Laterite and Saprolite at0.30 g/t Au; Hard Saprolite/Transition/Fresh Rock at 0.40 g/t Au. Piaba: Outside openpit at 2.0 g/t Au. Boa Esperança cutoff grade: 0.44 g/t Au. Piaba topography iscurrent as of February 28, 2015. Tonnes are rounded to the nearest 1,000; ouncesare rounded to the nearest 100. Small tonnage and grade differences may be founddue to rounding.

1. The Mineral Resource estimate has an effective date of December 21, 2012 as reported in the "Technical Report, Warintza Project, Ecuador" completed by Peter Ronning, P.Eng. andSteven Ristorcelli, C.P.G. with an effective date of December 21, 2012 and a completion date of March 27, 2013. The Mineral Resource calculation was completed under the supervisionof Peter Ronning, P.Eng. and Steven Ristorcelli , C.P.G., who are Qualified Persons as defined under NI 43-101. The reported resource is at a cut-off of 0.3 CuEq. Copper equivalentcalculations were made for reporting purposes. The copper equivalent grade for copper plus molybdenum was calculated as CuEq(%) = Cu(%) = (6*Mo(ppm)/10000). Copper-equivalentcalculations reflect gross metal content and have not been adjusted for metallurgical recoveries or relative processing and smelting costs. The copper equivalent grades were used onlyfor establishing cut-off grades for reporting.

2. The Mineral Resource estimate has an effective date of August 22, 2016 as reported in the "Technical Report on Resources of the Elk Gold Project" completed by Robert Wilson, P.Geo.,Gary Giroux, P.Eng. and Antonio Loschiavo, P.Eng. with an effective date of August 22, 2016. The Mineral Resource calculation was completed under the supervision of Gary Giroux,P.Eng., who is a Qualified Person as defined under NI 43-101. The potential open pit resources were evaluated using the Maptek Vulcan v9.1.1 Lerchs-Grossman algorithm software. Theconstrained resource was calculated using a gold price of US$1232/oz. Any blocks within the constrained shell were reported using a 1.0 g/t cut-off and any blocks below the LG shellsurface were reported using a 5.0 g/t cut-off. The grade reported is the average grade of the resource both in and below the pit.
