Forward‐Looking Statements

This presentation contains "forward‐looking information" within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation. Any information herein with respect to predictions, expectations,projections, objectives, assumptions or future events that are not historical facts may be "forward‐looking statements” that are based on Bonterra’s current expectations, estimatesand projections. This forward‐looking information includes information with respect to the planned exploration programs, the costs and expenditures for the upgrading of the Bonterramill and timelines, the potential growth in mineral resources, and other information that is based on forecasts of future operational or financial results, estimates of amounts not yetdeterminable and assumptions of management. Exploration results that include drill results on wide spacings may not be indicative of the occurrence of a mineral deposit; such resultsdo not provide assurance that further work will establish sufficient grade, continuity, metallurgical characteristics and economic potential to be classed as a category of mineralresource. The potential quantities and grades of drilling targets are conceptual in nature and, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain iffurther exploration will result in the targets being delineated as mineral resources.

Forward‐looking information is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause Bonterra’s actual results, level of activity or achievements to bematerially different from those expressed or implied by such forward‐looking information. Such factors include, but are not limited to: uncertainties related to exploration anddevelopment; the ability to raise sufficient capital to fund exploration and development or the upgrading of the mill; changes in economic conditions or financial markets; increases ininput costs; litigation, legislative, environmental and other judicial, regulatory, political and competitive developments; or inability to obtain permits encountered in connection withexploration activities or the mill expansion; and labour relations matters. This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect our forward‐looking information. These and otherfactors should be considered carefully, and readers should not place undue reliance on such forward‐looking information.

Bonterra may, from time to time, make oral forward‐looking statements and advises that the above paragraph and the risk factors described in this presentation and in the Company’sother documents filed with the Canadian securities authorities should be read for a description of certain factors that could cause the actual results of the Company to differ materiallyfrom those in the oral forward‐looking statements. The forward‐looking information and statements contained in this presentation are made as of the date hereof and the Companyundertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any oral or written forward‐looking information or statements, whether as a result of new information, future events orotherwise, except as required by applicable securities laws.

Note on Technical Information

Pascal Hamelin, ing, the Company’s President and CEO has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information contained in this presentation. Mr. Hamelin holds abachelor's degree in engineering, is a member of the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec and is a qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43‐101 ‐ Standards of Disclosure forMineral Projects ("NI 43‐101") under Canadian legislation. The Company uses a rigorous QA‐QC analytical program according to industry standards. The analytical results were done bypyroanalysis (A.A.) at the Company’s laboratory. Blanks, duplicates and certified reference standards are inserted into the sample stream to monitor laboratory performance. TheCompany’s QA‐QC analytical verification program requires that a minimum of 10% of the samples be audited at an independent laboratory. Theses audit assays were sent to ALSlaboratory located in Val‐d'Or, Quebec. The results of the audits are consistent with those obtained.

Certain information in this presentation regarding the presence of mineral deposits, and the size of such deposits is based on information that has been obtained from publiclyavailable information and industry reports. Such reports generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but theaccuracy or completeness of such information is not guaranteed. We have not independently verified or cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of that information andinvestors should use caution in placing reliance on such information.

Executive Summary

Three Step Approach to Drive Valuation

Valuation Discount Unwarranted Drilling News Flow

1. Aggressive 63,000 m drill program to generate an updated resource estimate by mid 2021

2. Highlight value creation with PEA using the updated resource in Q4/21

3. Securing permits for restart in 2022 ‐potential hub‐and‐spoke strategy thereafter

• Bonterra is trading at an EV/oz of US$33 versus peers ~US$118/oz

• Opportunistic bid tried to take advantage of the valuation gap

• 2.1 M oz resource and growing quickly• 800 tpd mill with potential expansion to 

2,400 tpd• Strategic land package within a top tier 

jurisdiction and access to skilled labour

• 70,000 m drilled so far with another 63,000 m of drilling over the next five‐months

• Drilling will be mostly focused on expanding known resources with an emphasis on the highest possible internal rates of return for shareholders

• Recent exploration work has identified prospective target areas that will also be tested that could lead to new discoveries

Bonterra is a publicly traded gold exploration and development

company with over 2.1 million ounces of resources and the only

permitted mill in the Urban‐Barry Camp of Québec, Canada 

where several new discoveries have been made since 2015

1. The classification of the current Mineral Resource Estimates into Measured, Indicated and Inferred are consistent with current 2014 CIM Definition Standards ‐ For Mineral Resourcesand Mineral Reserves

2. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. An Inferred Mineral Resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to aMeasured and Indicated Mineral Resource and must not be converted to a Mineral Reserve. It is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgradedto Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration.

3. All figures are rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimate. Composites have been capped where appropriate.

4. Resources are presented undiluted and in situ and are considered to have reasonable prospects for economic extraction. In order to meet this requirement, the Gladiator, Barry andMoroy Deposit mineralization are considered amenable for underground extraction.

5. High grade capping was done on composite data. Capping values of 30 to 55 g/t Au were applied to all 3D grade controlled wireframe models. A fixed specific gravity value of 2.82 was used to estimate the tonnage from block model volumes for Moroy and Barry, and 2.78 for Gladiator. 

6. Mineral Resources for Barry and Moroy are exclusive of material that has been mined.
