Christopher Ritchie, MBA
President (15+ years experience, Capital Markets & Risk Management)

Chris Ritchie is a financial market professional with 15 years of experience in resource-based capital markets including investment banking, marketing, corporate strategy, network and risk management. Mr. Ritchie earned a B.A. from Miami University (Ohio) in 1997 and an MBA in finance from Dalhousie University in 2000.

Mr. Ritchie spent just under three years in risk management at Marsh & McLennan and Liberty International before he moved into trading and institutional equity sales at UBS, Canaccord Financial, and National Bank Financial. Mr. Ritchie has developed extensive networks that enable him to support companies of differing sizes and across industries to cost-efficiently raise capital, develop communications strategies and create market awareness.

During the past eight years, Mr. Ritchie (through National Bank Financial and Canaccord Genuity) has been a key financial advisor and partner to the previous and current SilverCrest teams through the development of Santa Elena, the sale of the SilverCrest Mines to First Majestic Silver Corp. and the three financings for SilverCrest Metals. This relationship provides strong continuity as he transitions to his new role.

Chris is an avid sportsman holding national titles in tennis and was a member of the Canadian National Australian Rules Football team. He will be based in Toronto to help broaden SilverCrest Metals’ market presence but will balance his time in Vancouver and on the road as corporate needs dictate.

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT

Forward-looking statements
This presentation contains “forward‐looking statements” and “forward-looking information” (collectively “forward-looking statements”) within the meaning of applicable Canadian and United States securities legislation. These include, without limitation, statements with respect to: the economics and project parameters presented in the PEA, including IRR, AISC, NPV, and other costs and economic information; possible events, conditions or financial performance that is based on assumptions about future economic conditions and courses of action; the strategic plans, timing, costs and expectations for the Company’s future development and exploration activities on the Las Chispas Property, including permitting for various work, and optimizing and updating the Company’s resource model and preparing a feasibility study; information with respect to high grade areas and size of veins projected from underground sampling results and drilling results; and the accessibility of future mining at the Las Chispas Property. Assumptions have been made regarding, among other things: impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; the reliability of mineralization estimates, the conditions in general economic and financial markets; availability and costs of mining equipment and skilled labour; accuracy of the interpretations and assumptions used in calculating resource estimates; operations not being disrupted or delayed by unusual geological or technical problems; ability to develop and finance the Las Chispas Project; and effects of regulation by governmental agencies. The actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward‐looking statements as a result of the risk factors set forth below and elsewhere in this presentation: uncertainty as to the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic; fluctuations in precious metals prices, price of consumed commodities and currency markets; uncertainty as to actual capital costs, operating costs, production and economic returns, and uncertainty that development activities will result in profitable mining operations; risks related to mineral resource figures being estimates based on interpretations and assumptions which may result in less mineral production under actual conditions than is currently estimated; the interpretation of drilling results and other geological data; receipt, maintenance and security of permits and mineral property titles; environmental and other regulatory risks; project cost overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses; and general market and industry conditions. The assumptions used in the preparation of such statements, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise and, as such, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statements were made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements included in this presentation, except as otherwise required by applicable law. 

Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”)
The PEA report titled “Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Las Chispas Property, Sonora, Mexico”, with an effective date May 15, 2019 as amended July 19, 2019 is available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR on www.sedar.com. The Company cautions that the results of the PEA are preliminary in nature and include inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them to be classified as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the results of the PEA will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.  

The Company currently has no proven or probable reserves and, on the basis of information to date, it has not yet determined whether its Las Chispas Project contains economically recoverable ore reserves. Development and construction activities for the Las Chispas Project are not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. Accordingly, this project has a much higher risk of economic or technical failure and may adversely impact the Company’s projected profits, if any.

Qualified Persons
Under National Instrument  43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, the Qualified Person for this presentation is N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng. and CEO for SilverCrest Metals Inc., who has reviewed and approved its contents.
