CORTEZ REGION: BARRICK’S SUCCESS

Pipeline, Cortez Hills and Goldrush represent three of the largest Carlin-type gold deposits in the world. They make up Barrick’s lowest-cost assets with:

► 50 million+ oz gold reserves & resources

► Producing ~ 1.0 million oz per year

► Projected All-in Sustaining Costs of $610-$660/ounce1

1 Barrick Nevada AISC, includes costs from Goldstrike Mine - Barrick Gold Corporation 2017 Annual Report.

▪ Return of 4,150,000 CLH common shares held by Barrick (approximately 8.7% of CLH shares outstanding)

▪ Sliding scale 1% to 2.25% net smelter returns royalty on the Robertson Property (details slide #11)

▪ Payable quarterly, subject to potential advance royalty payments ($500,000 beginning Jan 2025 if not in production)

▪ Right of first refusal enables Barrick to acquire the NSR in the event that the Company wishes to sell to any third party.

Advanced-staged exploration project located immediately adjacent to the Pipeline gold mine

Sale to Barrick Gold, completed June 2017 for sliding-scale, uncapped royalty agreement

Over the past 25 years, Coral Gold and venture partners spent more than $25 million exploring the claims

This activity led to the discovery of a gold resource exceeding 2.7M ounces and a deep, Lower Plate target

Barrick expected to continue property development towards production

ROBERTSON OVERVIEW

Page 12: SUCCESS IN ONE OF THE WORLD’S RICHEST GOLD DISTRICTS · NEVADA –WORLD CLASS FOR GOLD & MINING 5 Produces >5% of the world’s gold; nearly 80% of United States’ gold Over $6.8

Can complement Barrick’s lowest cost operation by adding significant value

Provides Barrick the option of increasing production and/or extending the life of its operation

Coral’s sliding scale royalty has the potential to be a tremendous asset which could increase shareholder value once the Pre-Feasibility Study is complete and the economic value is fully understood

Global demand for gold is stable, production is in decline

Low cost mines becoming harder to find

✓ Barrick’s focus at Robertson: FIND THE DEEPER SOURCE OF ROBERTSON SURFACE GOLD

✓ Locate a deep, rich “feeder” deposit – mining the shallow resource at Robertson is secondary

✓ With massive Cortez infrastructure adjoining Robertson, Barrick’s economics are favourable

SEEKING A “MEIKLE-STYLE” DISCOVERY AT ROBERTSON

Barrick geologists have stated they’re seeking a “Meikle-style” discovery at Robertson.

The Meikle deposit was discovered in September 1989 when the tenth deep drill hole EX-89-4 intersected 540 ft of 0.41 oz/st Au from 1,305 ft to 1,845 ft.1

This hole was targeted at an inferred structural intersection associated with induced polarization (IP) geophysical and soil geochemistry anomalies.

1 Goldstrike Technical Report – page 6-2

From 2007 to 2016, the Meikle underground mine (Meikle, North Post, Betze and Banshee areas) produced over 4m oz Au at an average grade of .295 oz/ton

Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing, or other relevant issues. The quantity and grade of reported Inferred resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define these Inferred resources as an Indicated or Measured mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading them to the Indicated or Measured mineral resource category.
