Key Investment Takeaways
TSX:ANX
 A combination of Anaconda and Orex provides the catalyst for a
potential re-rating in our stock
 Acquiring a significant amount of mineral resources at an
attractive price
 Management team experience and existing infrastructure can
potentially de-risk and accelerate the development of Goldboro
 First mover advantage as a consolidator of gold assets in the
Atlantic Canada region
 Platform in place to be a major gold producer in Atlantic Canada

Point Rousse Aggregates Project
TSX:ANX
 Announced on October 27, 2016; Began shipping in
September
 Project involving Anaconda, Shore Line Aggregates
and Phoenix Bulk Carriers
 Fulfilling ~3.5M-tonne aggregates contract for a
project on eastern seaboard of US over 14 months
 Opportunity for Anaconda
• Monetizing waste rock and receiving
approximately $2M in gross revenue over 14
months
• No capital required; own any improvements to
site and fixed dock facility infrastructure
• Shorter haul distance; lowering mining costs
• Potential for future aggregates contracts
• With modifications, can import ore from other
project locations

Additional Cautionary Disclaimers
TSX:ANX
Anaconda uses certain non-GAAP performance measures in this document. These performance measures have no meaning under IFRS and, therefore,
amounts presented may not be comparable to similar data presented by other mining companies. The data is intended to provide additional information and
should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Operating cash costs per ounce of gold
and all-in sustaining costs per ounce of gold (“AISC”) are non-GAAP measures that Anaconda uses as key performance measures to monitor performance and
ability to generate cash flow. Management uses these statistics to assess how well Anaconda’s producing mines are performing compared to plan and to
assess overall efficiency and effectiveness of the mining operations.
Anaconda provides operating cash cost and AISC information as it is a key performance indicator required by users of its financial information in order to
assess its profit potential and performance relative to its peers. Cash cost per ounce sold is cost of sales from the period before depletion, depreciation and
amortization of production stripping assets divided by the number of ounces of gold sold in the period.
AISC reflects all of the expenditures that are required to produce an ounce of gold from current operations. While there is no standardized meaning of the
measure across the industry, Anaconda’s definition conforms to the AISC definition as set out by the World Gold Council in its guidance dated June 27, 2013.
The World Gold Council is a non-regulatory, non-profit organization established in 1987 whose members include global senior mining companies. Anaconda
believes that this measure will be useful to external users in assessing operating performance and the ability to generate free cash flow from current
operations. AISC per ounce includes total cash costs plus the sum of corporate administrative expenses, sustaining capital expenditures, the addition of
production stripping assets and certain exploration and evaluation expenses, all divided by the number of ounces sold in the period. This measure seeks to
reflect the full cost to sustain the current level of gold production from Anaconda’s operations. Certain other cash expenditures, including income tax payments
and financing costs are not included. Certain prior period amounts included in the calculation of AISC have been changed to conform to the presentation
adopted in the current period.
The information presented herein related to Anaconda was approved by management of Anaconda on March 13, 2017.
The information presented herein related to Orex was approved by management of Orex on March 13, 2017.
Note: All dollar amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise denoted.
The disclosure in this presentation uses mineral reserve and mineral resource classification terms that comply with reporting standards in Canada, and certain
mineral resource estimates are made in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101—Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). NI
43-101 establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. These standards
differ significantly from the mineral reserve disclosure requirements of the United States Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) set forth in Industry
Guide 7. Consequently, information regarding mineralization contained in this presentation is not comparable to similar information that would generally be
disclosed by U.S. companies in accordance with the rules of the SEC.
29
From the ground up
Additional Cautionary Disclaimers
TSX:ANX
In particular, the SEC’s Industry Guide 7 applies different standards in order to classify mineralization as a reserve. As a result, the definitions of proven and
probable reserves used in NI 43-101 differ from the definitions used by the SEC in Industry Guide 7. Under SEC standards, mineralization may not be classified
as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve
determination is made. Among other things, all necessary permits would be required to be in hand or issuance imminent in order to classify mineralized
material as reserves under the SEC standards. Accordingly, mineral reserve estimates contained in this presentation may not qualify as “reserves” under SEC
standards.
In addition, this presentation uses the terms “measured mineral resources,” “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources” to comply with the
reporting standards in Canada. The SEC does not recognize mineral resources and U.S. companies are generally not permitted to disclose mineral resources of
any category in documents they file with the SEC. Investors are specifically cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these
categories will ever be converted into mineral reserves as defined in NI 43-101 or Industry Guide 7. Further, “inferred mineral resources” have a great amount
of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Therefore, investors are also cautioned not to assume that all
or any part of an inferred resource exists. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of “measured mineral resources,” “indicated mineral resources,” or
“inferred mineral resources” will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part of the reported “measured mineral
resources,” “indicated mineral resources,” or “inferred mineral resources” in this presentation is economically or legally mineable. For the above reasons,
information contained in this presentation containing descriptions of our mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates is not comparable to similar
information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC.
All scientific and technical information relating to the Stog’er Tight Deposit is based on and derived from the NI 43-101 report entitled “NI43-101 Technical
Report, Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Update on the Pine Cove Mine and Mineral Resource Estimate on the Stog’er Tight Deposit, Point Rousse

Pine Cove Mine is based on and derived from the NI 43-101 report entitled “NI43-101 Technical Report, Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Update on the
Pine Cove Mine and Mineral Resource Estimate on the Stog’er Tight Deposit, Point Rousse Project, Baie Verte, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada” with an
effective date of October 22, 2015. All scientific and technical information relating to the Thor Deposit/Viking Project is based on and derived from the NI 43101 report entitled “NI 43-101 Technical Report and Mineral Resource Estimate on the Thor Deposit, Viking Project, White Bay Area, Newfoundland and
