Fortuna Strategic Alliance & JV
Fortuna is a growth oriented, silver and base metal producer focused on mining opportunities in Latin America. Its primary assets are the Caylloma silver mine in southern Peru and the San Jose silver-gold mine in Mexico. The company is selectively pursuing acquisition opportunities throughout the Americas and in select other areas.
• Fortuna has invested a total of CAD 3m into Medgold taking 24% of the Company
• Proceeds used for Strategic Alliance for target generation work in Serbia
• Fortuna optioned the Tlamino Project in March 2017 (covering the Barje-Liska and Karamanica prospects)
- Spending USD 3m over 3 years for 51%
- Option to spend a further USD 5m (inc. a PEA) for a total of USD 8m for 70%
• Fortuna may option a second property on same option terms as above
• Once two projects have been selected Fortuna have no further rights to projects generated

Regional Geology Overview15
• Primary regional feature is Crnook Dome
• Associated with the dome are low-angle regional-scale detachment faults
• Quartz-feldspar porphyry units common (small intrusions and dykes)
• Regional extension created series of detachment basins and infilled with fluvial sediments
• Mineralization is intermediate epithermal-type
• Strong association with Pb-Zn mineralization
• Mineralization is both lithologically- and structurally-controlled
• Hosted in a zone of flat-lying tectonic breccias (detachment-associated) and likely fed by high-angle basement structures
• Tlamino is emerging as a new geological model for the region.

Historical Drilling (Liska Prospect)19
• Historical drilling, completed in the 1970s, demonstrates low-angle Pb-Zn mineralization
• Conceptually fits with Medgold’s geological model of detachment-controlled mineralization
• Mineralization is open to NE, towards Barje prospect

Medgold Resources Corp., April 2017
Tlamino Summary
• Targeting a low-angle replacement zone, mostly under shallow sediment cover, over a strike of 1.5 to 2km
• Mineralization at outcrop is 70m wide and approximately 30-40m high
• Grade is consistently greater than 5 g/t Au & 200 g/t Ag; locally up to 130 g/t Au & 2,000 g/t Ag
• Using abundant Pb-Zn historical data collected by the Yugoslav government
• New and evolving geological model for the region
• Medgold has a licence coverage of 500 sqkm in this locality
