DUNDEE PRECIOUS METALS ANNOUNCES

2019 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

(All monetary figures are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated)

Toronto, Ontario, May 9, 2019 – Dundee Precious Metals Inc. (TSX: DPM)

FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL AND OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS:

 Metals production – Achieved gold production of 43,034 ounces and copper production of 8.0 million

pounds, in line with 2019 guidance;

 Smelter – Achieved throughput of 62,822 tonnes, in line with 2019 guidance, generating positive cash

flow;

 Near term growth – Construction of the Krumovgrad open pit mine was substantially completed. Ramp-

up going well with first concentrate produced in March and commercial production expected in the second

quarter of 2019;

 Cash flow – Generated $14.4 million in cash flow from operating activities and $10.0 million in free cash

flow(1);

 Cash Costs – Reported an all-in sustaining cost per ounce of gold(1) of $817, in line with 2019 guidance,

and a cash cost per tonne of complex concentrate smelted at Tsumeb, net of by -product credits(1), of

$370, which is below the low end of 2019 guidance, and

 Financial position – Ended the first quarter of 2019 with approximately $248 million of cash resources,

including long-term revolving credit facility (‘RCF”).

"Chelopech and Tsumeb had a good start to 2019 with production in line with guidance. Krumovgrad achieved

a major milestone with first concentrate production in March and is expected to reach commercial production

in the second quarter” said Rick Howes, President and CEO. “With Krumovgrad commencing production, we

expect a significant increase in gold production and cash flow going forward."

Dundee Precious Metals Inc. (“DPM” or the “Company”) today reported first quarter net loss attributable to

common shareholders of $1.5 million ($0.01 per share) compared to net earnings attributable to common

shareholders of $2.7 million ($0.02 per share) for the same period in 2018.

Net earnings (loss) attributable to common shareholders in the first quarters of 2019 and 2018 were impacted

by several items not reflective of the Company’s underlying operating performance, including unrealized gains

on commodity price hedges that, prior to the adoption of IFRS 9 in 2018, did not receive hedge accounting

treatment and net gains and losses on Sabina special warrants, which are excluded from adjusted net earnings

(loss)(1).

Adjusted net loss(1) in the first quarter of 2019 was $1.6 million ($0.01 per share) compared to adjusted net

earnings of $0.6 million ($nil per share) for the same period in 2018. This decrease was due primarily to higher

Chelopech treatment charges related to unfavourable final settlements of provisionally priced concentrate

sales, the mark-to-market impact related to strong share price performance and a higher cost per tonne of gold-

copper concentrate produced and sold reflecting lower copper grades, partially offset by higher volumes of

complex concentrate smelted, higher volumes of payable gold in concentrate sold as a result of higher gold

grades in concentrate sold and a stronger U.S. dollar relative to the ZAR and Euro.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA (1) during the first quarter of 201 9 was $16.7 million compared to $ 19.5 million in the

corresponding period in 2018, reflecting the same factors affecting adjusted net earnings (loss), except for

depreciation, interest and income taxes, which are excluded from adjusted EBITDA.

2

Production

In the first quarter of 2019, gold contained in concentrate produced decreased by 25% to 43,034 ounces

and copper production decreased by 13% to 8.0 million, in each case, relative to the corresponding period

in 2018. These decreases were due primarily to lower grades at Chelopech, in line with its 2019 mine plan.

Chelopech remains on track to meet its 2019 production guidance.

Complex concentrate smelted during the first quarter of 2019 of 62,822 tonnes was 16% higher than the

corresponding period in 2018 due primarily to strong performance and a steady state of operations at Tsumeb.

This is a record first quarter performance where seasonal power grid instability typically impacts operations, a

concern that was successfully mitigated during the quarter.

Deliveries

In the first quarter of 201 9, payable gold in concentrate sold increased by 13% to 39,559 ounces and

payable copper increased by 4% to 6.3 million pounds, in each case, relative to the corresponding period

in 2018. The increase in payable gold was due primarily to higher gold grades in the concentrate sold in

2019.

Cost Measures

Cost of sales in the first quarter of 2019 of $64.7 million was comparable to the corresponding period in

2018. The favourable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar relative to the ZAR and Euro offset the higher cost

per tonne of gold-copper concentrate produced and sold at Chelopech, reflecting lower copper grades, and

higher local currency expenses at Tsumeb. This increase was due primarily to higher employment costs as

a result of higher performance -based compensation and annual increases in line with local in flation, and

higher rates for fuel, partially offset by the benefits of cost savings initiatives, which resulted in a decrease

in contractor and consultant expenses.

All-in sustaining cost per ounce of gold in the first quarter of 201 9 of $ 817 was $ 121 higher than the

corresponding period in 2018 due primarily to a higher cost per tonne of gold-copper concentrate produced

and sold and higher allocated corporate general and administrative expenses as a result of the mark-to-market

impact related to strong share price performance, partially offset by the favourable impact of higher gold grades

in concentrate sold and a stronger U.S. dollar relative to the Euro.

Cash cost per tonne of complex concentrate smelted at Tsumeb, net of by-product credits, during the first

quarter of 2019 of $ 370 was $129 lower than the corresponding period in 2018 due primarily to higher

volumes of complex concentrate smelted, the favourable impact of a weaker ZAR relative to the U.S. dollar

and the benefits of cost savings initiatives, partially offset by higher employment costs as a result of higher

performance-based compensation and annual increases in line with local inflation, and higher rates for fuel.

Cash provided from operating activities

Cash provided from operating activities in the first quarter of 2019 was $ 14.4 million compared to $11.0

million in the corresponding period in 2018 reflecting the same factors affecting net earnings (loss) and

lower period over period working capital requirements.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow in the first quarter of 2019 was $10.0 million compared to $11.0 million in the corresponding

period in 2018. Free cash flow was impacted by the same factors affecting cash provided from operating

activities, with the exception of changes in working capital, which are excluded from free cash flow, and

lower outlays for sustaining capital.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures incurred during the first quarter of 2019 were $20.2 million compared to $30.4 million in

the corresponding period in 2018.

3

First quarter 2019 growth capital expenditures (1), which were mostly related to the construction of the

Krumovgrad project, were $17.7 million compared to $25.1 million in the corresponding period in 2018.

Sustaining capital expenditures (1) incurred during the first quarter of 2019 were $2.5 million compared to

$5.3 million in the corresponding period in 2018 due primarily to the timing of executing planned projects.

Krumovgrad Project, Bulgaria

As at March 31, 2019, construction of the project was substantially completed. Initial operations are going

well with f irst concentrate production achieved during the first quarter, as planned . Achievement of

commercial production and commencement of the depreciation of invested capital is on track and is

expected to begin in the second quarter of 2019.

Mining of ore and waste continued through the first quarter of 2019 as planned, with 71,000 tonnes of waste

and 16,000 tonnes of ore blasted and excavated. Ore was hauled to the ore stockpile and 600 tonnes were

fed to the plant during the hot commissioning process during the first quarter.

Timok Gold Project, Serbia

Based on the updated Mineral Resource estimate released in September 2018, the Company continued to

progress a scoping study for Timok and, depending on the results of the scoping study, targets to release

a preliminary economic assessment in the second quarter of 2019.

Exploration

At Chelopech, diamond drilling continued from underground positions along the Southeast Breccia Pipe

Zone (“SEBPZ”) and from surface from the Krasta prospect, located two kilometres northeast of the mine.

At Krumovgrad, geological mapping, trenching and soil sampling are defining additional drill targets on the

Chiirite, Elhovo and Lada exploration licenses.

At the Malartic project in Quebec, through an option agreement with Pershimex Resources Corp., a 5,800

metre diamond drill program commenced on the gold-bearing Parfouru deformation zone.

Financial Position

As at March 31, 2019, DPM had $14.0 million of cash, $31.8 million of investments, comprised primarily of

its 10.4% interest in Sabina, and $234 million of undrawn capacity under its RCF.

With the start -up of Krumovgrad and the expected increase in operating cash flow, the Company is

amending the terms and size of its RCF, resulting in , among other things, pricing improvements and the

RCF being reduced to $175 million.

(1) Adjusted net earnings (loss), adjusted basic earnings (loss) per share, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and

amortization (“EBITDA”), all-in sustaining cost per ounce of gold, cash cost per tonne of complex concentrate smelted at Tsumeb, net

of by -product credits, free cash flow, and gro wth and sustaining capital expenditures have no standardized meaning under

International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Presenting these measures from period to period helps management and

investors evaluate earnings and cash flow trends more readily in comparison with results from prior periods. Refer to the “Non-GAAP

Financial Measures” section of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (the “MD&A”)

2019 Guidance

Overall Outlook and Strategy

For 2019, DPM will continue to focus on increasing the profitability of its business by optimizing existing

assets and ramping up its new Krumovgrad gold mine, which achieved first concentrate production in the

first quarter with commercial production expected in the second quarter. This is expected to generat e

significant growth in gold production and cash flow, which will further strengthen the Company’s balance

sheet and support pursuing a variety of margin improvement and growth opportunities within its existing

portfolio of assets. These growth opportuniti es include exploration programs in Bulgaria, near Chelopech

and Krumovgrad, and in Serbia, near the Timok gold project, as well as new investment opportunities that

are consistent with the Company’s strategy . These opportunities will be assessed based on a disciplined

capital allocation framework that balances the reinvestment of capital with building financial strength, and

returning capital to shareholders.

The Company’s guidance for 201 9 is set out in the following table and remain s unchanged from the

guidance issued in February 2019, except for the range of Krumovgrad capital expenditures which has

been narrowed:

1) Gold produced includes gold in pyrite concentrate produced of 43,000 to 53,000 ounces and payable gold sold includes payable gold in pyrite concentrate

sold of 30,000 to 35,000 ounces.

2) Metals contained in concentrate produced are prior to deductions associated with smelter terms.

3) Based on Euro/US$ exchange rate of 1.15, US$/ZAR exchange rate of 14.20 and copper price of $2.75 per pound, where applicable.

4) Cash cost per tonne of ore processed, all-in sustaining cost per ounce of gold and cash cost per tonne of complex concentrate smelted, net of by-product

credits, and sustaining and growth capital expenditures have no standardized meaning under IFRS. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section

of the MD&A for more information.

5) Includes the treatment charges, transportation and other selling costs related to the sale of pyrite concentrate, and payable gold in pyrite concentrate sold.

6) Excludes mark-to-market adjustments on share-based compensation and MineRP Holdings Inc.’s (“MineRP”) general and administrative expenses.

7) Consolidated sustaining capital expenditures include $4 million related to Corporate digital initiatives.

8) All-in sustaining cost per ounce of gold represents cost of sales at Chelopech and Krumovgrad less Chelopech and Krumovgrad’s depreciation, amortization

and other non-cash items plus treatment charges, penalties, transportation and other selling costs, sustaining capital expenditures, rehabilitation related

accretion expenses and an allocated portion of the Company’s general and administrative expenses and corporate social responsibility expenses, less by-

product revenues in respect of copper and silver, divided by the payable gold in concentrates sold.

The 2019 guidance provided above is not expected to occur evenly throughout the year. The estimated

metals contained in concentrate produced, payable metals in concentrate sold and volumes of complex

concentrate smelted are expected to vary from quarter to quarter depending on the areas being mined, the

timing of concentrate deliveries and planned outages. The rate of capital expenditures is also expected to

vary from quarter to quarter based on the schedule for, and execution of, each capital project.

6

Chelopech

Gold contained in concentrate produced is expected to be between 15 5,000 and 187,000 ounces in 2019,

reflecting grades returning to expected life of mine levels in 2019. Gold production in 2019 is expected to

be higher in the first half based on the existing mine plans.

Sustaining capital expenditures are expected to be higher than in recent years reflecting approximately $6

million to extend the life of Chelopech’s tailings management facility . Growth capital expenditures related

to resource development drilling and margin improvement projects are expected to be between $4 million

to $5 million.

Tsumeb

Complex concentrate smelted in 2019 is expected to be between 225,000 and 250,000 tonnes, an increase

of up to 8% over 2018 product ion levels. Work in 2019 will be targeted at further improving the availability

and performance of all facilities, and to support the current 18 -month Ausmelt operating cycle and the

planned move to 24 months in the next campaign, which would significantly increase average annual

throughput and defer the next furnace rebuild to 2021. Volumes of complex concentrate smelted in the

second half of 2019 are expected to be lower than the first half due to the maintenance shutdown, which is

planned to take place in the fourth quarter at the completion of the current 18-month Ausmelt campaign.

Krumovgrad

As at March 31, 2019, approximately $152 million has been incurred and with an additional $12 million to

$14 million forecast for 2019, the aggregate cost of the project is expected to be between $164 million and

$166 million, compared to the original estimate of $178 million.

Gold contained in concentrate produced is expected to be between 55,000 and 75,000 ounces in 2019.

There is significant operating flexibility given the various grades of current stockpiles, which is expected to

reduce the impact of potential delays in ramp-up.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company amended its prepaid forward gold sales arrangement, shifting

the first six months of deliveries scheduled from May 2019 to October 2019 to November 2019 to April 2020

such that 46,210 ounces will now be delivered over a 15 -month period commencing November 2019

representing approximately 14% of expected gold deliveries during this period wit h approximately 75% of

the deliveries occurring in 2020.

MineRP

DPM does not anticipate a material contribution to earnings or cash flow from MineRP operating results in

2019 given that it is in a growth ramp-up phase but does expect to see an increase in new customers based

on its pipeline of prospective new customers . Chelopech anticipates finalizing the implementation of

MineRP’s planning software early in the third quarter of 2019, which is expected to support further

optimization initiatives being developed in the Smart Center and integration into a new business planning

system currently under development.

Exploration

Expenditures related to exploration in 2019 are expected to range between $12 million and $14 million, in

line with 2018 spending . The 2019 budget is being used to fund major drilling programs at Chelopech,

consisting of 10,000 metres of underground drilling on the SEBPZ and 7,000 metres of surface drilling at

the Krasta prospect and other near -mine targets around Chelopech as well as drill programs at

Krumovgrad, on the concession and on nearby exploration licenses, for a total 8,900 metres. A further

2,000 metres is planned for exploration and resource drilling at the Timok gold project in Serbia. Elsewhere,

the exploration budget for 2019 will be put toward metallurgical test work for the Surnak prospect near

Krumovgrad. The remaining exploration budget will be deployed primarily to other greenfield projects in

Bulgaria, Serbia and Quebec.
