CAUTIONARY NOTE TO US INVESTORS

TSXV: TNR www.tnrgoldcorp.com 4

Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources - The terms "mineral reserve", "proven mineral reserve" and "probable mineral reserve" referred to in theCompany's disclosure are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 -Standards of Disclosure for MineralProjects under the guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM") Standards on Mineral Resourcesand Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council as amended from time to time by the CIM. These definitions differ from the definitions in theUnited States Securities & Exchange Commission ("SEC") Guide 7. Under SEC Guide 7 standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study isrequired to report reserves, the three-year historic average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and the primaryenvironmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority.

The terms "mineral resource", "measured mineral resource", "indicated mineral resource", "inferred mineral resource" used in the Company'sdisclosure are Canadian mining terms used in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects under theguidelines set out in the CIM Standards. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. While theterms "mineral resource", "measured mineral resource," "indicated mineral resource", and "inferred mineral resource" are recognized and required byCanadian regulations, they are not defined terms under standards in the United States and normally are not permitted to be used in reports andregistration statements filed with the SEC. As such, information contained in the Company's disclosure concerning descriptions of mineralizationand resources under Canadian standards may not be comparable to similar information made public by US companies in SEC filings. With respectto "inferred mineral resource" there is a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and a great uncertainty as to their economic and legalfeasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an "inferred mineral resource" will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Investors arecautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves.

QUALIFIED PERSON

Jonathan Findlay, P. Geo, Geological Consultant of the Company, and a “Qualified Person” for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101-Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects of the Canadian Securities Administrators, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information contained in this Presentation.

"Also, in Argentina is the company's large, 100%-owned Los Azulescopper project. "To give you a sense of its size I will convert the pounds ofcopper to gold equivalent ounces (by dividing the gold price by the copperprice, then take the product and use it to divide the number of Indicatedand Inferred pounds of copper to arrive at the number of gold equivalentounces) and to that number add the gold and silver ounces in the deposit.Based on current metal prices, Los Azules has a resources of greater than50 million gold equivalent ounces. We have focused on derisking thisasset, improving the access, and improving its attraction for a potentialJV partner," Rob explained.

(3) The PEA reported and documented by McEwen Mining is preliminary in nature, it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too geologically speculative to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized. Mineral resources, including those categorized as “measured and indicated” as well as “inferred” are not mineral reserves and the economic viability of these mineral resources have not been demonstrated by this economic analysis.

McEwen Mining's press releases and website material appear to be prepared by Qualified Persons and the procedures, methodology and key assumptions disclosed by McEwen Mining are those adopted and consistently applied in the mining industry, but no Qualified Person engaged by TNR has done sufficient work to analyze, interpret, classify or verify McEwen Mining's information, nor to determine the current mineral reserve or resource or any other information referred to in their press releases. Accordingly, the reader is cautioned in placing any reliance on these disclosures.

► Los Azules Copper Project update, McEwen Mining.

TSXV: TNR www.tnrgoldcorp.com 22

“At our Los Azules copper project, we expect to provide an update onthe construction of a new access road to the project in the comingmonths. This critical infrastructure would provide year-round access tothe project, compared to the current road which is only passable 5months of the year. The Los Azules PEA published in 2017 projected arobust operation at $3/lb copper. With the improving copper price,interest in the project has increased.

We are currently evaluating two alternatives to realize more value forour shareholders: one is pursuing a joint venture with a senior miningcompany to bring the project into production; and the other alternativeis spinning out the asset into a new public company. Concurrently weare looking at opportunities to improve the economics of Los Azuleswith ore sorting technologies.”

“Plans for Los Azules

We are concurrently working on two alternatives to fund theadvancement and development of Los Azules. One alternative is to jointventure with a senior industry player to bring the project into production.The other alternative is to spin out Los Azules into a separate companyand raise funds for it to aggressively advance the project towards aproduction decision. With the increasing copper price, we have received aheightened level of interest in Los Azules from major mining companies.”

TSXV: TNR www.tnrgoldcorp.com 24

“…Beneficial developments that we welcomed, but were beyond our control,were the massive increases in the prices of silver and copper and the resultantincrease in the values of our silver and copper assets. For example, using thecurrent price of copper in the financial model from our 2017 PreliminaryEconomic Assessment of Los Azules, we arrive at a Net Present Value,discounted at 8%, of approximately $5 billion. In respect of the potential valueof our silver assets, if we combine the San José mine and the Fenix Project, itcould potentially represent a medium-sized silver producer. One investmentbanker we spoke to suggested the value of such a company could be a minimumof $140 million. We believe that there is significant value to be realized byspinning these assets out in two separate vehicles. In this manner we could raisethe necessary capital to advance these properties, while maintaining a largeshareholding. I believe that the shares of these new companies will grow invalue along with the growth in demand for these metals, on the back of the greentechnology movement. Specifically, the electrification of transportation,renewable energy technologies and the continuing urbanization of Asia andAfrica…”
