Cautionary StatementForward-Looking InformationThis Presentation contains “forward-looking information” and “forward looking statements” “future oriented financial information” and/or“financial outlooks” within the meaning of applicable Canadian and United States securities legislation (collectively herein referred to as “forward-looking statements” or “forward-looking information”). The purpose of disclosing future oriented financial information and financial outlooks is toprovide a general overview of management’s expectations regarding the anticipated results of operations and costs thereof and readers arecautioned that future oriented financial information and financial outlook may not be appropriate for other purposes. Wherever possible, wordssuch as “plans”, “expects”, “guidance”, “projects”, “assumes”, “budget”, “strategy”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “anticipates”, “believes”,“intends”, “modeled’, “targets” and similar expressions or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or“will” be taken, occur or be achieved, or the negative forms of any of these terms and similar expressions, have been used to identify forward-looking statements and information. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans,projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements.Forward-looking information may include, but is not limited to, information with respect to: production and cost guidance; the refinancing of theCompany’s construction debt facility; the repurchase of the Company’s precious metals stream; anticipated results of our operations; source offunds for future operating and debt settlement requirements; our planned mining, exploration and development activities; our operational gradecontrol program, including plans with respect to our infill drill program and our local grade control model; capital and operating cost estimates;production and processing estimates; the future price of gold and silver; our liquidity and the adequacy of our financial resources; our intentionswith respect to our capital resources; our financing activities, including plans for the use of proceeds thereof; the estimation of mineral reserves andresources including the 2016 Valley of the Kings Mineral Resource estimate and the Brucejack Mineral Reserve estimate; realization of mineralreserve and resource estimates; timing of further development of our Brucejack Mine; costs and timing of future exploration and development;results of future exploration and drilling; statements relating to the economic viability of the Brucejack Mine, including mine life, total tonnes minedand processed and mining operations; timing, receipt, and anticipated effects of, and anticipated capital costs in connection with approvals, consentsand permits under applicable legislation; our executive compensation approach and practice; our relationship with community stakeholders;litigation matters; environmental matters; our effective tax rate and the recognition of our previously unrecognized income tax attributes; newaccounting standards applicable to the Company, including the effects of adoption of such standards; and statements regarding USD cash flows,currency fluctuations and the recurrence of foreign currency translation adjustments. Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of knownand unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to materially differ from those expressed or implied bythe forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, those related to: the accuracy of our mineral resource and reserve estimates (includingwith respect to size, grade and recoverability) and the geological, operational and price assumptions on which they are based; uncertainties relatingto inferred mineral resources being converted into measured or indicated mineral resources; commodity price fluctuations, including gold pricevolatility; general economic conditions; the inherent risk in the mining industry; significant governmental regulations, and such other risksuncertainties and factors as are identified in Pretivm’s Annual Information Form dated March 28, 2018, Form 40-F dated March 28, 2018, MD&A andother disclosure documents as filed in Canada on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and in the United States through EDGAR at the SEC’s website atwww.sec.gov (collectively, the “Pretivm Disclosure Documents”). Our forward-looking statements are based on the assumptions, beliefs,expectations and opinions of management on the date the statements are made, including those set out in the Pretivm Disclosure Documents, manyof which may be difficult to predict and beyond our control. Although we believe that the assumptions inherent in the forward-looking statementsare reasonable as of the date the statements are made, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and, accordingly, unduereliance should not be put on such statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein. We do not assume any obligation to update forward-lookingstatements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, other than as required by applicable law. For the reasons set forthabove, prospective investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Notes to InvestorsNational Instrument 43-101Technical and scientific information contained herein relating to the Projects is derived from National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) complianttechnical reports (“Reports”), “Measured, Indicated, and Inferred Mineral Resource Update” dated July 21, 2016, “Feasibility Study and TechnicalReport on the Brucejack Project, Stewart, BC” dated June 19, 2014, “Mineral Reserve Update” dated December 15, 2016, and “capital cost update”dated February 3, 2017. We have filed the Reports and Update under our profile at www.sedar.com. Technical and scientific information notcontained within the Reports for the Projects have been prepared under the supervision of Mr. Ivor W.O. Jones, M.S.c., FAusIMM, Cpgeo, Mr.Kenneth C. McNaughton, P.Eng., Ian Chang, P.Eng., Mr. Russell Pennel, B.A.S.c., P.Eng., Warwick Board, Ph.D., P.Geo, Pr.Sci.Nat., and Mr. LyleMorgenthaler, B.A.S.c., P.Eng. each of whom is an independent “qualified person” under NI 43-101.This presentation uses the terms “measured resources”, “indicated resources” (together “M&I”) and “inferred resources”. Although these termsare recognized and required by Canadian regulations (under NI 43-101), the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does notrecognize them. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineralresources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues. Thereis no guarantee that all or any part of the mineral resource will be converted into mineral reserves.In addition, “inferred resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumedthat all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineralresources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre feasibility studies, or economic studies, except for a Preliminary Assessment as defined underNI 43-101. Investors are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an inferred resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.Non-IFRS Financial Performance MeasuresThe Company has included certain non-IFRS measures in this new release. Refer to the Company’s MD&A for an explanation and discussion ofnon-IFRS measures. The Company believes that these measures, in addition to measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, provide investors animproved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company and to compare it to information reported by other companies. The non-IFRS measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures ofperformance prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting IFRS. These measures do not have any standardized meaningprescribed under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.The non-IFRS financial measures included in this presentation include: total cash costs and total cash costs per ounce of gold sold, all-in sustainingcost (“AISC”) and AISC per ounce of gold sold, adjusted earnings or loss, adjusted earnings or loss per share, earnings from mine operations, andaverage realized price per ounce of gold sold. Please refer to the Non-IFRS Performance Measures section of the Company’s MD&A filed onSEDAR at www.sedar.com and in the United States through EDGAR at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov for a detailed discussion andreconciliation of the non-IFRS measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures.
