Cautionary Note on Forward Looking Information This presentation, and the documents incorporated by reference herein, may contain “forward-looking information” within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this document and Capstone Mining Corp. (“Capstone” or the “Company”) does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements, except as required under applicable securities legislation. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance and reflect our expectations or beliefs regarding future events. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the estimation of mineral resources and mineral reserves, the realization of mineral reserve estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production and capital expenditures, the success of our mining operations, environmental risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses and title disputes.

Disclosure of the Cozamin Mine Mineral Reserves as of December 31, 2017 was completed using fully diluted mineable stope shapes generated by the Maptek Vulcan Mine Stope Optimizer software and estimated using the 2018 MNFW and MNV resource block models completed by Garth Kirkham, P.Geo., FGC, Kirkham Geosystems Ltd. The Reserves are based on a $50/t NSR cut-off. The NSR formula used for the Reserves was based $2.75/lb Cu, $16/lb Ag, $1.10/lb Zn, and metallurgical recoveries of 96.5% Cu, 81% Ag, 44% Zn. The resulting NSR275 formula is ($50.707*%Cu + 0.366*Ag ppm + 7.276*Zn%)*(1-NSRRoyalty%)Note that zero value is attributed to Pb due to low concentrations. Tonnage and grade estimates include dilution and recovery allowances. The NSR royalty rate applied varies between 1% and 3% depending on the mining concession. Contained metals are reported as 100%.

Inferred 48 0.41 0.19 0.025 23.6 197RESOURCE ESTIMATE NOTES: Mineral Resources are reported inclusive of Mineral Reserves. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Mineral Resources are classified according to CIM (2014) guidelines. The Qualified Person for the estimates is Mr. David Rennie, P.Eng., an associate of Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. Mineral Resources for the Santo Domingo Sur, Iris, Iris Norte and Estrellita deposits have an effective date October 31, 2018. Mineral Resources for the Santo Domingo Sur, Iris, Iris Norte, and Estrellita deposits are reported using a cut-off grade of 0.125% CuEq. CuEq grades are calculated using average long-term prices of $3.50/lb Cu, $1,300/oz Au, and $99/dmt Fe. The CuEq equation is: % Cu Equivalent = (Cu Metal Value + Au Metal Value + Fe Metal Value) / (Cu Metal Value per percent Cu). The general equation for metal value is: Metal Value = Grade * Cm * R * (Price – TCRC – Freight) * (100 – Royalty) / 100, were Cm is a constant to convert the grade of metal to metal price units, R is metallurgical recovery, and TCRC is smelter treatment charges and penalties. An assessment of Mineral Resources for the Santo Domingo Sur, Iris, Iris Norte and Estrellitadeposits was performedusinga Lerchs–Grossman pit shell that has the following assumptions: pit slopes averaging 45°; mining cost of $1.90/t, processing cost of $7.27/t (including G&A cost); processing recovery of 89% copper and 79% gold; selling price of $3.50/lb copper, $1,300/oz gold and $99/dmt iron concentrate. Rounding as required by reporting guidelines may result in apparent summation differences between tonnes, grade and contained metal content.

Mineral Reserves are reported as constrained within Measured and Indicated pit designs and supported by a mine plan featuring variable throughput rates and cut-off optimization. The pit designs and mine plan were optimized using the following economic and technical parameters: metal prices of $3.00/lb Cu, $1,290/oz Au and $100/dmt of Fe concentrate; recovery to concentrate assumptions of a maximum of 93.4% for Cu and 60.1% for Au, with magnetite concentrate recovery varying on a block-by-block basis; copper concentrate treatment charges of $80/dmt, $0.08/lb of Cu refining charges, $5.0/oz of Au refining charges, $33/wmt and $20/wmt for shipping Cu and Fe concentrates respectively; wasteminingcostof $1.75/t, mining cost of $1.75/t ore, and process and G+A costs of $7.53/t processed; average pit slope angles that range from 37.6° to 43.6°; a 2% royalty rate assumption, and an assumption of 100% mining recovery. Rounding as required by reporting guidelines may result in apparent summation differences between tonnes, grade and contained metal content. See Capstone’s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2018 for further information.
