This corporate presentation contains forward looking statements which constitute "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation and "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (collectively, "Forward-looking Statements"). All statements included herein, other than statements of historical fact, are Forward-looking Statements and are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those reflected in the Forward-looking Statements.

The Forward-looking Statements in this corporate presentation include, without limitation, statements about the Company's business strategy, outlook and plans; its plans for its mines and mineral properties, including 2024 exploration budgets; Fortuna's 2024 annual guidance; including statements that the Company is on track to meet annual guidance; the Company's anticipated financial and operational performance in 2024; estimated production forecasts for 2024; estimated costs; estimated cash costs and all-in sustaining cash costs and expenditures for 2024; life of mine estimates, including statements that that the San Jose Mine will exhaust mineral reserves by the end of 2024; statements that recent discoveries at the Diamba Sud Gold Project highlight extensive regional potential; statements regarding underground mining potential at the Séguéla; the statements that Yessi silver-gold vein drilling highlights potential for high-grade shoots and broad zones of mineralization; expectations regarding the Company's production, cash costs and all-in sustaining costs (on a consolidated and on a segmented basis), proposed capital investments and Brownfields and Greenfields exploration programs; forecast metal production, mineral reserves, mineral resources, metal grades, recoveries, forecast total cash costs and all-in sustaining costs; the Company's ability to achieve the exploration, production, cost and development expectations for its respective operations and projects; the Company's objectives in respect of the drill program at the Diamba Sud Gold Project; the ability to prove and expand a NI 43-101 mineral resource at the Diamba Sud project; estimated mineral reserves and mineral resources; the Company's liquidity and debt levels, future plans and objectives based on forecasts of future operational or financial results; the estimates of expected or anticipated economic returns from the Company's mining operations including future sales of metals, gold doré, concentrate or other products produced by the Company; uncertainties related to development projects and new mining operations such as the Séguéla Mine, including the possibility that actual capital and operating costs and economic returns will differ significantly from those estimated prior to production; anticipated approvals and other matters.

Often, but not always, these Forward-looking Statements can be identified by the use of words such as "estimated", "potential", "open", "future", "assumed", "scheduled", "anticipated", "projected", "used", "detailed", "has been", "gain", "planned", "reflecting", "will", "containing", "remaining", "expected", "to be", or statements that events, "could" or "should" occur or be achieved and similar expressions, including negative variations.

The forward-looking statements in this corporate presentation also include financial outlooks and other forward-looking metrics relating to Fortuna and its business, including references to financial and business prospects and future results of operations, including production, and cost guidance, anticipated future financial performance and anticipated production, costs and other metrics. Such information, which may be considered future oriented financial information or financial outlooks within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation (collectively, "FOFI"), has been approved by management of the Company and is based on assumptions which management believes were reasonable on the date such FOFI was prepared, having regard to the industry, business, financial conditions, plans and prospects of Fortuna and its business and properties. These projections are provided to describe the prospective performance of the Company's business and operations. Nevertheless, readers are cautioned that such information is highly subjective and should not be relied on as necessarily indicative of future results and that actual results may differ significantly from such projections. FOFI constitutes forward-looking statements and is subject to the same assumptions, uncertainties, risk factors and qualifications as set forth below.

Forward-looking Statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the Forward-looking Statements. Such uncertainties and factors include, among others, changes in general economic conditions and financial markets; uncertainties related to the transition of development projects to new mining operations such as the Séguéla Mine, including the possibility that actual capital and operating costs and economic returns will differ significantly from those estimated for such projects prior to production; risks associated with war and other geopolitical hostilities such as the Ukrainian - Russian conflict and the Israel - Hamas war, any of which could continue to cause a disruption in global economic activity and impact the Company's business, operations, financial condition and share price; escalating costs may affect production, development plans and cost estimates for the Company's mines; that the appeal in respect of the ruling in favor of Compania Minera Cuzcatlan S.A. de C.V. reinstating the environmental impact authorization at the San Jose Mine (the "EIA") will be successful; adverse changes in prices for gold, silver and other metals; rising input and labor costs; higher rates of inflation; technological and operational hazards in Fortuna's mining and mine development activities; market risks related to the sale of the Company's doré, concentrates and metals; future development risks, risks inherent in mineral exploration and project development and infrastructure; uncertainties inherent in the estimation of mineral reserves, mineral resources, and metal recoveries; the Company's ability to replace mineral reserves; changes to current estimates of mineral reserves and resources; changes to production estimates; the Company's ability to obtain adequate financing on acceptable terms for further exploration and development programs, acquisitions and opportunities; uncertainties related to exploration projects such as the Diamba Sud Gold Project; fluctuations in currencies and exchange rates; the imposition of capital controls in countries in which the Company operates; governmental and other approvals; recoverability of value added tax and significant delays in the Company's collection process; claims and legal proceedings, including adverse rulings in litigation against the Company; political or social unrest or instability in countries where Fortuna is active, including relating to the newly elected government in Argentina; labor relations issues; governmental and regulatory requirements and actions by governmental authorities, including changes in government policy, government ownership requirements, expropriation of property and assets, adverse changes in environmental, tax and other laws or regulations and the interpretation thereof; environmental matters including obtaining or renewing environmental permits and potential liability claims; as well as those factors discussed under "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Information Form dated March 22, 2024 and filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in Forward-looking Statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended.

Forward-looking Statements contained herein are based on the assumptions, beliefs, expectations and opinions of management, including, but not limited to, all required third party contractual, regulatory and governmental approvals will be obtained and maintained for the exploration, development,

construction and production of its properties; there being no significant disruptions affecting operations, whether relating to labor, supply, power, damage to equipment or other matter; there being no material and negative impact to the various contractors, suppliers and subcontractors at the Company's mine sites as a result of the Ukrainian - Russian conflict or the Israel - Hamas war, or otherwise that would impair their ability to provide goods and services; permitting, construction, development, expansion, and production continuing on a basis consistent with the Company's current expectations; that the appeal filed in the Mexican Collegiate Court challenging the reinstatement of the EIA will be unsuccessful; expected trends and specific assumptions regarding metal prices and currency exchange rates; prices for and availability of fuel, electricity, parts and equipment and other key supplies remaining consistent with current levels; production forecasts meeting expectations; any investigations, claims, and legal, labor and tax proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business will not have a material effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company; and the accuracy of the Company's current Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates and such other assumptions as set out herein. Forward- looking Statements are made as of the date hereof and the Company disclaims any obligation to update any Forward-looking Statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise, except as required by law. There can be no assurance that Forward-looking Statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on Forward-looking Statements.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Dollar amounts expressed in US dollars, unless otherwise indicated. Totals may not add throughout presentation due to rounding.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

Fortuna's audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (the "2023 Financial Statements") which are referred to in this corporate presentation have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. However, this corporate presentation includes certain financial measures and ratios that are not defined under IFRS and are not disclosed in the 2023 Financial Statements, including but not limited to: adjusted attributable net income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, total net debt, total net debt to EBITDA ratio, cash cost per tonne of processed ore, cash cost per ounce of gold sold, all-in sustaining cash cost per ounce of gold sold; all-in sustaining cash cost per payable ounce of silver equivalent sold, and free cash flow from ongoing operations. Accordingly, the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures to these aforementioned non-IFRS measures, and the results from the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, are below:

These non-IFRS financial measures are widely reported in the mining industry as benchmarks for performance and are used by Management to monitor and evaluate the Company's operating performance and ability to generate cash. The Company believes that, in addition to financial measures and ratios prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors use these non-IFRS financial measures and ratios to evaluate the Company's performance. However, the measures do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other companies. Accordingly, non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures and ratios of the Company's performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The Company has calculated these measures consistently for all periods presented.

To facilitate a better understanding of these measures and ratios as calculated by the Company, descriptions are provided below. In addition, see "non-IFRS Financial Measures" in the Company's management's discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2023("2023 MD&A"), which section is incorporated by reference in this corporate presentation, for additional information regarding each non-IFRS financial measure and non-IFRS ratio disclosed in this corporate presentation, including an explanation of their composition; an explanation of how such measures and ratios provide useful information to an investor and the additional purposes, if any, for which management of Fortuna uses such measures and ratios; and a qualitative reconciliation of each non-IFRS financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure that is disclosed in the Company's 2023 Financial Statements. The 2023 Financial Statements and the 2023 MD&A may be accessed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.caunder the Company's profile, Fortuna Silver Mines Inc.

Please see the description below of non-IFRS ratios not included in the 2023 MD&A:

Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted EBITDA margin is a non-IFRS measure which is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided over Sales.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA margin provides valuable information as an indicator of the Company's ability to generate operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations and fund capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA margin is also a

common metric that provides additional information used by investors and analysts for valuation purposes based on an observed or inferred relationship between Adjusted EBITDA margin and market value. Adjusted EBITDA margin is not meant to be a substitute for other subtotals or totals presented in accordance with IFRS measures, but that rather should be evaluated in conjunction with IFRS measures.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA margin from Sales, the most directly comparable IFRS measure, for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023:
