BENEFITS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Anticipated benefits of the Arrangement include:

• The Consideration provides Shareholders with a meaningful upfront premium of 44% to the closing price of Fiore Shares on October 22, 2021, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Arrangement.
• Partnership with an established multi-mine 170,000 - 180,000 oz per year gold producer with a common operating philosophy and record of fiscal discipline, and a proven history of shareholder value creation.
• The Arrangement is a compelling opportunity for Shareholders to gain exposure to a mid-tier gold producer with greater market relevance, enhanced trading liquidity, broader analyst and institutional investor following, and index inclusions.
• The Arrangement is an opportunity for Shareholders to gain access to a strong balance sheet and robust free cash flow generation to fully fund and accelerate development projects and exploration initiatives.
• Combining Fiore and Calibre, both well recognized and respected gold mining companies, is anticipated to provide Shareholders with meaningful ongoing exposure to future value catalysts across the combined asset portfolio, including Calibre's assets and Fiore's Gold Rock project.
• Shareholders will be provided with an opportunity to participate in substantial exploration activity through Calibre's 16 drill, 80+ km regional program.

BOARD RECOMMENDATION

The board of directors of the Company (the "Board"), after consulting with management of Fiore, its financial and legal advisors, and following the unanimous recommendation of a special committee of the Board consisting solely of independent directors, unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of Fiore and fair to the Shareholders.

The Board UNANIMOUSLY recommends that Fiore Shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement.
