13 Notes on Resource Estimation (1) Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing, or other relevant issues. It is noted that no specific issues have been identified as yet. (2) 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 and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading them to an Indicated or Measured mineral resource category. (3) The mineral resources in this report were estimated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by the CIM Council. (4) The 3.5 g/t AuEq resource cut-off grade was derived from the approximate Jan 31/16 two year trailing average Au price of US$1,200/oz and Cu price of US$2.75/lb,US$/C$ exchange rate of 0.83, 90% & 85% respective Au and Cu process recoveries, C$35/t process cost,c$75/t mining cost and C$30/t G&A cost. AuEq g/t = Au g/t + (Cu% x 1.5) (5) Effective date of the resource estimate is April 6,

14 The Greenwood Mill The mill has a 200 tonnes per day capacity with potential for expansion to 400 tpd. A nearby tailings storage facility with a 400,000 tonnes design capacity, placed under care and maintenance. Tailings Pond 14

19 PEA Cautionary Statement This Preliminary Economic Assessment is preliminary in nature and includes Inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. The quantity and grade of reported Inferred mineral resources in this Preliminary Economic Assessment are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define these Inferred mineral resources as an Indicated or Measured mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will allow conversion to the Measured and Indicated categories or that the Measured and Indicated mineral resources will be converted to the Proven or Probable mineral reserves. There is no certainty that this Preliminary Economic Assessment will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability; the estimate of mineral resources in this Preliminary Economic Assessment may be materially affected by higher operating costs, lower metal prices, lower process recoveries, environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues. The qualifications and assumptions for this Preliminary Economic Assessment are detailed in the Amended PEA Technical Report, prepared by P&E Mining Consultants, Inc. and dated June 20, Copies of the PEA can be accessed on SEDAR or from the Company Web Site. 19

Inactive since the 1980s, 2 principal veins and at 10 other veins, gold, silver, and base metals. Underground adits and tunnels. On-site water & power.

Note: Production records from Robert Mines Ltd. indicate silver production for the period was 3430 ounces ( grams) whereas reference #1 states 96,005 ounces. 23

24 May Mac Mine 2016 Development Plan Underground development recommended, to include drifting and raising to explore the vein and prepare for stope mining of a bulk sample. Work will determine grade of zones above 7th level for bulk sampling. Sub level drifting at intermediate heights between the 6th and 7th levels required over slope of 100 meters. *The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature; there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource. Exploration Target: 200,000 to 600,000 tonnes grading: g/t Gold, oz/t Silver, % Lead & Zinc based on estimated vein volumes and assumed proportions mineralized, and grades estimated from drill intercepts and historic production* 24

25 May Mac Mine Mill & Tailings 100t/d mill on site owned by Golden Dawn 2010 View inside Mill Tailings Pond 25

26 Amigo Mine Area City of Greenwood Amigo Mine Area Kinross Property Historic underground on the Amigo No. 1 Vein includes a cross cut (54 metres) and drift (35 metres) channel samples up to g/t gold/0.4 metres. Amigo Glory Hole underground includes cross cut (16 metres) and drift (13 metres) along mineralized zone. Channel sampling returned 6.22 g/t gold over 0.6 metres prospecting revealed a limestone unit crossing the property and skarn mineralization in limestone near the Amigo Glory Hole workings. This indicates potential for skarn type coppergold mineralization similar to that at large mines in the district: Motherlode, Phoenix and Buckhorn mines (see slide #26). 26

27 Greenwood Gold Mines Preliminary Economic Assessment Golden Dawn regards this project as attractive for the following reasons: 91% of the resource is categorized as Measured and Indicated Permits exist for mining and processing Infrastructure is in place and intact, including mining equipment, processing plant and tailings facility Minimal pre-production development required to commence mine production The Company cautions that it will likely proceed with a production decision on this project which is not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. The project will therefore have increased uncertainty and higher economic and technical risks of failure. The Company intends to operate the mine and mill to assess the economic viability of operations at the prevailing gold price. 27

28 Greenwood Gold Mines Potential Upside The following priority geological targets have been identified that require follow-up exploration. Lexington-Grenoble deposit (gold-copper) Lexington-Grenoble deposit is open up and down dip along its strike length. TG g/t Au, 2.18% Cu) and B93-6 may have intersected two parallel deposits. Richmond Zone: 5.31 g/t Au, 1.37% Cu - another zone that needs follow-up drilling. Lone Star mostly inferred resource - definition drilling required. Golden Crown deposit (gold-copper) Several veins and anomalies require further exploration. Many veins and wider shoots remain open-ended laterally and at depth. Example: King Vein with a 40 westward rake that remains open-ended along this projection. Trenching 2.5 km northwest of the main vein system identified high grade gold mineralization that should be further tested by drilling. The entire 2.5 km gap between the principal vein system and the trenched auriferous shears contains untested gold soil anomalies and has potential for additional discoveries. May Mac deposit (silver-gold-lead-zinc-copper) New zone intersected at depth in 2015 indicates potential for resources below historic mine workings. Underground drill program planned. Caution: No conceptual quantity and grade estimate has been made at this time for these targets. There has been insufficient exploration to define mineral resources for these targets and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in any of the targets being delineated as a mineral resource. 28
