Non-IFRS Measures
The items marked above are alternative performance measures
and readers should refer to non-international financial reporting
standards ("IFRS") financial measures in the Company's Management's
Discussion and Analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as filed on SEDAR and as available
on the Company's website for further details. Metalla has included
certain performance measures in this press release that do not have
any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS including (a)
attributable gold equivalent ounce, (b) average cash cost per
attributable gold equivalent ounce, (c) average realized price per
attributable gold equivalent ounce, dc) operating cash margin per
attributable gold equivalent ounce, which is based on the two
preceding measures, and (e) adjusted EBITDA. In the precious metals
mining industry, this is a common performance measure but does not
have any standardized meaning. The Company believes that, in
addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS,
certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's
performance and ability to generate cash flow. The presentation of
these non-IFRS measures is intended to provide additional
information and should not be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with
IFRS. Other companies may calculate these non-IFRS measures
differently.
Technical and Third-Party Information
Metalla has limited, if any, access to the properties on
which Metalla holds a royalty, stream or other interest. Metalla is
dependent on (i) the operators of the mines or properties and their
qualified persons to provide technical or other information to
Metalla, or (ii) publicly available information to prepare
disclosure pertaining to properties and operations on the mines or
properties on which Metalla holds a royalty, stream or other
interest, and generally has limited or no ability to independently
verify such information. Although Metalla does not have any
knowledge that such information may not be accurate, there can be
no assurance that such third-party information is complete or
accurate. Some information publicly reported by operators may
relate to a larger property than the area covered by Metalla's
royalty, stream or other interests. Metalla's royalty, stream or
other interests can cover less than 100% and sometimes only a
portion of the publicly reported mineral reserves, resources and
production of a property.
Unless otherwise indicated, the technical and scientific
disclosure contained or referenced in this press release,
including any references to mineral
resources or mineral reserves, was prepared in accordance with
Canadian National Instrument 43-101

applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. Accordingly, the
scientific and technical information contained or
referenced in this press release may not be
comparable to similar information made public by
U.S. companies subject to the reporting and
disclosure requirements of the SEC.
