- Reserves stated in the table are contained within an engineered pit design following the US$1,600/oz Au sales price Lerchs-Grossmann pit. Date of topography is December 31, 2022.
- In subsequent text, the abbreviation “st” denotes US short tons.
- Mineral Reserves are stated in terms of delivered tons and grade, before process recovery. The exception is leach pad inventory, which is stated in terms of recoverable Au ounces.
- Costs used include a mining cost of US$2.11/st and an ore processing and G&A cost of US$3.88/st.
- Reserves for Argillic (soft) ore are based upon a minimum 0.004 oz/st Au cut off grade (“CoG”), using a US$1,600/oz Au sales price and a Au Recovery of 80%.
- Reserves for Silicic (hard) ore are based upon a minimum 0.006 oz/st Au CoG, using a US$1,600/oz Au sales price and a Au Recovery of 60%.
- Mineral Reserves stated above are contained within and are not additional to the Mineral Resource, the exception being leach pad inventory.
- Numbers in the table have been rounded to reflect the accuracy of the estimate and may not sum due to rounding.

- CIM (2014. 2019) definitions were followed for Mineral Resources.
- Mineral Resources are based on 100% ownership.
- Mineral Resources are estimated using a long term gold price of US$1,700/ounce (oz).
- In alignment with Calibre’s other reported mineral resources, Pan Mineral Resources have been reported in metric units which have been converted from Imperial system units currently in use at the Pan mine operating site.
- Resources are stated as contained within a constrained pit shell; pit optimization was based on an assumed gold price of US$1,700/oz, Silicic (hard) ore recoveries of 60% for Au and an Argillic (soft) ore recovery of 80% for Au, an ore mining cost of US$2.09/st, a waste mining cost of $1.97/st, an ore processing and G&A cost of US$3.13/st, and pit slopes between 45-50 degrees.
- Resources are partially diluted and reported using a minimum internal gold cut off grade of 0.003 oz/st Au (0.10 g/t Au) for blocks flagged as Argillic altered or as unaltered and a minimum cutoff grade (“CoG”) of 0.004 oz/st Au (0.14 g/t Au) for blocks flagged as Silicic altered.
- Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources presented are inclusive of Mineral Reserves. Inferred Mineral Resources are not included in Mineral Reserves.
- Minerals Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that any part of the Mineral Resources estimated will be converted into Mineral Reserves.
- Numbers in the table have been rounded to reflect the accuracy of the estimate and may not sum due to rounding.
- Mr. Michael Dufresne, M.Sc., P. Geol., P. Geo. of APEX Geoscience Ltd. Is responsible for revieing and approving the Pan mine open pit Mineral Resource Estimate. Mr. Dufresne is a Qualified Person (“QP”) as set out in NI 43-101.

- The effective date of the Mineral Resource is April 11, 2011.
- CIM definition standards were followed for the resource estimate.
- The 2011 resource models used Inverse Distance grade estimation within a three-dimensional block model with mineralized zones defined by wireframed solids and
- A base cutoff grade of 0.6 g/t AuEq was used for reporting mineral resources.
- Gold Equivalent (AuEq) grades were calculated using $1,058/oz Au for gold and $16.75/oz Ag for silver and metallurgical recoveries and net smelter returns are assumed to be 100%
- Resource Estimates for Cerro Aeropuerto are detailed in the technical report titled ‘NI 43-101 Technical Report and Resource Estimation of the Cerro Aeropuerto and La Luna Deposits, Borosi Concessions, Nicaragua’ by Todd McCracken, dated April 11, 2011.
- The quantity and grade of reported inferred resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define these inferred resources as an indicated or measured mineral resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading them to an indicated or measured mineral resource category.
- Numbers may not add exactly due to rounding.
- Mineral Resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
