The Technical Information disclosed in this Presentation has been reviewed and approved by Douglas Turnbull, P.Geo., a Qualified Person as defined under National Instrument 43-101 and a Competent Person for the purposes of JORC 2012. Mr Turnbull is a Professional Geologist and a member of the Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia. Mr Turnbull is a consultant to Black Dragon, and has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the “Australian Code of Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Mr Turnbull consents to the inclusion in this report of the matters based on that information in the form and context in which it appears. You should be aware that as the Company has securities listed on the ASX it is required to report reserves and resources in accordance with JORC 2012. You should note that while the Company's reserve and resource estimates comply with the JORC 2012, they may not comply with the relevant guidelines in other countries and, in particular, do not comply with (i) National Instrument 43-101 (Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects) of the Canadian Securities Administrators and (ii) Industry Guide 7, which governs disclosures of mineral reserves in registration statements filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Information contained in this presentation describing the Company's mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of Canadian or US securities laws. In particular, Industry Guide 7 does not recognise classifications other than proven and probable reserves and, as a result, the SEC generally does not permit mining companies to disclose their mineral resources in SEC filings. You should not assume that quantities reported as “resources” will be converted to reserves under the JORC Code or any other reporting regime or that the Company will be able to legally and economically extract them.

  3. Investment Highlights New Board and Management Recapitalisation Reduction in overheads Legacy Royalty New Board and Senior Management Team appointed in 2017 to reinvigorate the company and drive the project to production. The new executive team recapitalised the company through raising new equity of approximately $15 million since June 2017, including the $6m ASX IPO in 2018. The executive team reduced corporate overheads to ensure the majority of capital is applied to driving Salave closer to development. The executive team improved project economics through a cost effective buy-out of a legacy royalty that existed over the deposit. New drilling New high grade intervals 2018 MRE 2019 PEA The Preliminary Economic Assessment leveraged previous technical work resulting in an Pre-Tax NPV of $296m over a 14 year mine life, with an IRR of 28% and 3.8 year payback. 48% increase in mineral resource to 1.6Moz gold (M, I & I). The executive team undertaken the first new drilling at the project since 2013. High grade gold intervals from 2018 drilling demonstrates great potential to expand new mineralized lenses at Salave. At less than $5/oz, Black Dragon is significantly undervalued relative to average EV/oz metrics of its peer companies.

  7. Salave Project Location North-West Spain, in the Asturias region. Mining Province with Strong Mining Traditions A region with coal, fluorspar, lead, zinc and gold mining traditions. The El Valle gold mine commenced as an open pit mine in 1996, and is now an underground operation using CIL. Politically and Economically Stable Member of the EU, rated Baa1 with a positive outlook. Security of Title Strong rule of law. Low Cost Jurisdiction Willing, educated local labour force and excellent heavy engineering, tunneling and mining resources and skills available. Existing Infrastructure Sealed roads, close to transport (two ports, airport) and power supply. Mineralisation Hosted in altered granodiorite and metasedimentary rocks along granodiorite contact in a NE trending, 350m wide shear zone. Associated with pyrite, arsenopyrite, stibnite and minor base metals. Highest grades associated with albite-sericite alteration. Deposit Combination of reduced intrusion related, shear zone hosted and orogenic gold deposit. Globally there are examples of gold deposits with similar mineralogy to Salave, that have spatial association with felsic intrusions, and have been defined as orogenic gold deposits.

  8. Valuable Asset Base – Now 50% Larger Salave Gold Project| One of Europe’s largest undeveloped gold deposits | 48% increase in contained resources Low Enterprise Value | Less than $10 million EV, significantly below peer group average EV/oz Significant Exploration Upside | Potential outside of the Salave deposit, high grade intersected along strike of Salave General Manager appointed | Local Asturian resident GM appointed in October 2017 | Experienced in-country management team Technically Robust | Extensive evaluation work completed historically demonstrates robustness of Salave Secure Tenure | 30 year mining concession in a first world jurisdiction

  10. Extensive Drilling Completed Approximately 67,100m of historic drilling completed at Salave between 1971 – 2018 349 core holes (65,917m) 29 RC/percussion holes (1,226m) Limited drilling outside of the resource area Open at depth, with deepest hole to date drilled to 660m TD (outside resource area)

  11. 2018 Drill Program Opened the Deposit in All Directions and at Depth

  12. Mid Term Exploration Upside Significant opportunity on NW-SE strike of the existing resource envelope. Grade correlates well to alteration indicating strong potential for NW & SE extensions. Mineralisation has potentially been identified along the NE-SW strike which will be tested in upcoming drill programme. Mineralisation continues to be open at depth which remains untested. Airborne survey will investigate the Salave IP area for further mineralised extensions and targets. 68.85 167.55 ha 42.01 ha 67.99 ha 304.54 ha 2765 ha

  13. 2019 Drilling Programme 2019 drill programme to test mineralisationpotentialalong NW-SE and NE-SW corridors, and to update InferredResources to IndicatedResources. Map shows the residualgravity anomalies. 1km

  14. Milestones since BDG Inception… Recent Anticipated News Flow Commencement of permitting process Management is very cognisant that, given historical issues, investors want to see progress on the project permitting MRE & PEA follow-up Now the MRE and PEA have been completed, the company will submit a mine plan proposal to the authorities and commence the ESIA Permitting challenges recognised The permitting history of Salave is not lost on management, and lessons have been learnt. Early engagement with local and regional authorities has already commenced An important point to remember It is important to point out that the Salave u/g mine was partially permitted in November 2014, providing precedent for investors Permitting could lead to significant re-rating Permitting of the Salave mine project would provide a price catalyst for investors, furthermore, it would initiate proceedings on the Pre-Feasibility Study Fixing a broken business Since taking on the business in July 2017, management has been busy putting Black Dragon back on track. Management has recapitalised the business, paid off all the debt and restarted work on one of Europe’s largest undeveloped gold projects First drilling program since 2013 The company successfully permitted and completed the first drilling program at Salave since 2013, demonstrating an ability to work with local and regional authorities An Updated Mineral Resource Estimate The MRE yielded a small increase in average grade and a 28% increase from the 944,000 combined M&I ounces defined in the Company’s previous resource estimate at the same cut-off grade of 2.0 g/t Au Salave Permit Extensions 30 year extension on the Ampliacion a Figueras Mining Permit, and a 3 year extension to the Salave Investigation Permit A Positive PEA Following the updated MRE, a PEA was released, which underlined the economic viability of the current Salave resource to be mined over an initial 14 year mine life … But the next 12 months will define BDG
