DUNDEE PRECIOUS METALS ANNOUNCES 2020 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS;

DELIVERED STRONG PERFORMANCE AND GENERATED RECORD QUARTERLY NET EARNINGS

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

Toronto, Ontario, May 6, 2020 – Dundee Precious Metals Inc. (TSX: DPM) (“DPM” or the “Company”)

today announced its operating and financial results for the first quarter of 2020.

FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL AND OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS:

• Strong metals production – Produced 72,963 ounces of gold in concentrate, with Ada Tepe delivering

its highest quarterly production to date and Chelopech continuing its track record of consistent

performance. Copper production was 9.4 million pounds;

• Near-record smelter performance – Achieved throughput of 65,010 tonnes at Tsumeb, its second

highest quarterly production on record;

• Solid cost performance at all operations – Reported first quarter all-in sustaining cost per ounce of

gold(1) of $593 and a cash cost per tonne of complex concentrate smelted(1) of $357;

• Record quarterly free cash flow generation – Generated $9.4 million in cash flow from operating

activities after a temporary increase in working capital of $47.6 million, and a record $49.2 million of free

cash flow(1) in the first quarter;

• Growing adjusted net earnings – Reported net earnings attributable to common shareholders in the

first quarter of $43.2 million reflecting strong gold production from Chelopech and Ada Tepe. First quarter

reported adjusted net earnings(1) were a record $46.1 million or $0.26 per share;

• Strong financial position and liquidity – Ended first quarter with approximately $189 million of cash

resources, comprised of the undrawn portion of the Company’s long-term revolving credit facility (“RCF”),

a cash position of $13.6 million and no debt; and

• 2020 guidance – On track to meet previously issued guidance for 2020 at each of its operations.

“We are experiencing exceptional times as we continue to manage the evolving COVID -19 situation by

prioritizing the health and safety of our workforce and local communities, as well as striving to maintain the

continuity of our operations,” said David Rae, Chief Operating Officer, who, as previously announced, will be

assuming the role of President and CEO effective May 7, 2020. “The expertise of our people, the relationships

we have built with our stakeholders and the quality of our portfolio of assets has allowed us to deliver an

exceptional first quarter in these difficult circumstances. With strong gold production and cost performance,

we generated a record $49.2 million of free cash flow, and 2020 is on track to be another milestone year for

DPM as we demonstrate the full potential of our portfolio.”

“I am very proud to be leaving the Company in the strongest position it has ever been,” said Rick Howes,

outgoing President and CEO. “I am very confident it is in good hands under David’s leadership and I wish the

Company great success in the future.”

Response to Coronavirus (“COVID-19”)

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization classified COVID-19 as a worldwide pandemic and

governments across the globe have undertaken extensive measures to combat the spread of this virus. To

date, as a result of the proactive actions being taken within the regions in which we operate and by personnel

at each of our si tes, the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s mining and smelting operations has been

minimal. The Company’s Chelopech and Ada Tepe mines in Bulgaria continue to operate at full capacity and

have not experienced any disruptions to their operations. In April 2020, the Tsumeb smelter in Namibia curtailed

its operations by shutting down ancillary plants for 30 days and reducing complex concentrate smelted for the

month by approximately 20% in response to a government directive aimed at limiting staffing levels. Full

operations resumed in May with ongoing management of the number of employees and contractors at site

2

and adherence to the COVID-19 control practices that have been established across all sites. With the

throughput now back to full capacity, the smelter remains on track to achieve 2020 annual guidance. To date,

MineRP continues to operate with minimal impact on its ability to service existing customers although it is

experiencing delays in the conversion of its growing customer pipeline into sales as well as the start-up of

new projects and, as a result, expects a portion of targeted revenue growth to shift by one to two quarters.

The Company continues to closely assess and monitor the COVID-19 situation as it develops and has

undertaken a number of measures to mitigate associated risks, including establishing procedures and

contingency plans at each operating location, which are directed at safeguarding employees , managing

potential supply chain disruptions, including complex concentrate feed for the smelter, and maintaining

production at each of its operations. These activities are being overseen by an experienced cross-functional

team that includes members of senior management and leaders at the Company’s operations. At present,

there do not appear to be any imminent COVID -19 related circumstances that are expected to disrupt the

Company’s operations , however, g iven the highly uncertain and evolving nature of this situation, the

Company is not able to reliably estimate the duration and severity of this pandemic nor the potential impact

it could have on the Company’s operating and financial results.

Net Earnings and Adjusted Net Earnings

Net earnings attributable to common shareholders of $43.2 million ($0.24 per share) compared to a net loss

attributable to common shareholders of $1.5 million ($0.01 per share) for the same period in 2019.

Net earnings (loss) attributable to common shareholders in the first quarter of 2020 and 2019 were impacted

by net gains and losses on Sabina Gold and Silver Corp. (“Sabina”) special warrants, which are not reflective

of the Company’s underlying performance and are excluded from adjusted net earnings (loss)(1).

Adjusted net earnings in the first quarter of 2020 were $46.1 million ($0.26 per share) compared to an adjusted

net loss of $1.6 million ($0.01 per share) for the corresponding period in 2019. This increase was due primarily

to higher volumes of gold and copper sold, lower general and administrative expenses, higher realized gold

prices, lower treatment charges for Chelopech as a result of its concentrate being sold to third party smelters

and the favourable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar relative to the ZAR and Euro, partially offset by higher

depreciation and lower realized copper prices.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA (1) in the first quarter of 2020 was $ 77.5 million compared to $ 16.7 million in the

corresponding period in 2019, reflecting the same factors that affected adjusted net earnings (loss), except

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

(2) Cash cost per tonne of ore processed, all-in sustaining cost per ounce of gold and cash cost per tonne of concentrate smelted are not

defined measures under IFRS. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of the MD&A for reconciliations to IFRS measures.

In the first quarter of 2020, gold contained in concentrate produced increased by 70% to 72,963 ounces

due primarily to production from Ada Tepe, which achieved commercial production in the second quarter

of 2019, and copper production increased by 17% to 9.4 million pounds due primarily to higher copper

grades, in each case, relative to the corresponding period in 2019.

Payable gold in concentrate sold in the first quarter of 2020 increased by 73% to 68,254 ounces relative to

the corresponding period in 2019 due primarily to deliveries from Ada Tepe, which achieved commercial

production in the second quarter of 2019. Payable copper in concentrate sold in the first quarter of 2020 of

9.5 million pounds was 5 1% higher than the corresponding period in 2019 d ue primarily to the timing of

gold-copper concentrate deliveries by Chelopech as there were three deliveries of gold-copper concentrate

in the first quarter of 2020 compared to two deliveries in the first quarter of 2019.

Complex concentrate smelted duri ng the first quarter of 2020 of 65, 010 tonnes was 3% higher than the

corresponding period in 2019 and represents Tsumeb’s second highest quarterly production on record.

This increase was due primarily to consistent performance and steady state of operations after the ramp -

up following the maintenance shutdown completed during the fourth quarter of 2019.

Cost Measures

Cost of sales in the first quarter of 2020 of $90.6 million was $25.9 million higher than the cor responding

period in 2019 due primarily to increased deliveries as a result of Ada Tepe commencing commercial

operation in the second quarter of 2019 , partially offset by the favourable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar

relative to the ZAR and Euro.

All-in sustaining cost per ounce of gold in the first quarter of 2020 of $59 3 was $22 6 lower than the

corresponding period in 2019 due primarily to low -cost gold production from Ada Tepe and higher by -

product credits.

Cash cost per tonne of complex concentrate smelted during the first quarter of 2020 was $357, which was

$13 lower than the corresponding period in 2019. This decrease was due primarily to the favourable impact

of a weaker ZAR relative to the U.S. dollar and higher volumes of complex concentrate smelted , partially

offset by lower acid prices.

Cash provided from operating activities

Cash provided from operating activities in the first quarter of 2020 of $9.4 million, compared with $14.4

million in the corre sponding period in 2019, is not reflective of the significant increase in earnings during

the period primarily as a result of a $47.6 million increase in working capital due to the timing of receipts

from customers and payments to suppliers. In addition, during the first quarter of 2020, Ada Tepe delivered

13,110 ounces of gold pursuant to the prepaid forward gold sales arrangement resulting in $17.9 million of

deferred revenue being recognized in revenue with no corresponding impact on cash as these delive ries

were in partial satisfaction of the $50.0 million of upfront proceeds received in 2016 in respect of the prepaid

forward gold sales arrangement.

4

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow in first quarter of 2020 was $49.2 million compared to $ 10.0 million in the corresponding

period in 2019. This increase was due primarily to higher volumes of gold and copper sold, higher realized

gold prices, lower treatment charges and the favourable impact of a stronger U.S. dollar relative to the ZAR

and Euro, partially offset by lower realized copper prices. Also, during the first quarter of 2020, Ada Tepe

delivered 13,110 ounces of gold pursuant to the prepaid forward gold sales arrangement resulting in $17.9

million of deferred revenue being recognized in revenue with no corresponding impact on cash as these

deliveries were in partial satisfaction of the $50.0 million of upfront proceeds received in 2016 in respect of

the prepaid forward gold sales arrangement.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures incurred during the first quarter of 2020 were $9.6 million compared to $20.2 million in

the corresponding period in 2019.

Growth capital expenditures(1) incurred during the first quarter of 2020 were $2.8 million compared to $17.7

million in the corresponding period in 201 9. The period over period decline in growth capital expenditures

was related principally to the construction of the Ada Tepe gold mine , which was completed in 2019 .

Sustaining capital expenditures (1) incurred during the first quarter of 2020 were $6.8 million, in line with

guidance, compared to $2.5 million in the corresponding period in 2019. This increase was due primarily to

spending at Ada Tepe, which commenced commercial production in the second quarter of 2019, work on

the tailings management facility at Chelopech and the timing of projects at Tsumeb.

Timok Gold Project, Serbia

The Company filed a National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43 -101’”) Technical Report on August 29, 2019

supporting the preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”) of the Timok gold project. The PEA is based on the

updated Mineral Resource estimate completed in September 2018 and provided a base case which primarily

considered the oxide and transitional material types. Following encouraging results from the optimization

work completed in 2019 to incorporate the sulphide portion of the resource, the Company has initiated a

prefeasibility study, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2020. For additional details, refer to the

press releases entitled “Dundee Precious Metals Files NI 43-101 Technical Report Supporting the Preliminary

Economic Assessment of the Timok Gold Project in Serbia” dated August 29, 2019 and “NI 43-101 Technical

Report – Mineral Resource Estimate Update for the Timok Gold Project Serbia” dated November 7, 2018, both

found on DPM’s website and filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Exploration

At Chelopech, diamond drilling from surface continued through the first quarter of 2020 at the Wedge South

target and at the Krasta prospect. In Serbia, drilling in the fourth quarter of 2019 and first quarter of 2020 defined

a new area of shallow oxide mineralization at the Timok gold project as well as an extension of copper gold

porphyry mineralization at depth at the Tulare project. In Quebec, a winter drill program on the Malartic property

was suspended in accordance with the order related to COVID-19 issued by the Government of Quebec.

Financial Position and Liquidity

As at March 31, 2020, DPM had fully repaid all debt and had a cash position of $13.6 million, as well as

$31.9 million of investments, comprised primarily of its 10.3% interest in Sabina and 19.4% equity interest

in INV Metals Inc. (“INV”), and $175.0 million of undrawn capacity under its RCF. After the delivery of 13,110

ounces of go ld under its prepaid gold facility during the first quarter of 2020, the Company has 20,977

ounces of gold to deliver during the remainder of 2020.

Capital Allocation and Declaration of Dividend

Consistent with the Company’s disciplined capital allocation framework, on February 13, 2020, the

Company declared an inaugural quarterly dividend of $0.02 per common share , which was paid on April

15, 2020 to shareholders of record on March 31, 2020. As a t March 31, 2020, the Company recognized a

5

dividend payable of $3.6 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the condensed interim

consolidated statements of financial position and a corresponding dividend distribution against its retained

earnings in the condensed interim consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity.

On May 6, 2020, the Company declared a second quarter dividend of $0.02 per common share , which is

payable on July 15, 2020 to shareholders of record on June 30, 2020.

The level of the Company’s dividend is based on establishing a sustainable dividend having regard for the

Company’s free cash flow outlook and is expected to allow the Company to build additional balanc e sheet

strength to support further growth, a key element of DPM’s strategy. The declaration, amount and timing of

any future dividend are at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and will be assessed based on the

Company’s capital allocation framework, having regard for the Company’s financial position, overall market

conditions, and its outlook for sustainable free cash flow, capital requirements, and other factors considered

relevant by the Board of Directors.

On-Track to Meet 2020 Guidance

DPM is on track to meet its previously issued guidance for 2020 for each of its operations, including

expected gold production of 257,000 to 299,000 ounces and 35 to 40 million pounds of copper. DPM

continues to expect all-in sustaining cost of $700 to $780 per ounce, and cash cost per tonne of complex

concentrate smelted of $370 to $450. Over the balance of 2020, 20,977 ounces of gold will be used to fully

settle the Company’s prepaid forward gold sale. For additional information regarding the Company’s

detailed guidance for 2020, please refer to the “Three-Year Outlook” section of the MD&A.

If foreign exchange rates and copper prices remain unchanged from current spot levels over the balance

of the year, 2020 cash costs are expected to be at or below the low end of guidance.

(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 growth and sustaining capital expenditures have no standardized meaning under

International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Presenting these measures fro m 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, 2020 (the “MD&A”)

for further discussion of these items, including reconciliations to IFRS measures.
