13 Yanamina Project Slide 13 According to the February 2011 NI 43-101Technical Report ( Preliminary Economic Assessment ): Treating 4,802,000 tonnes of ore grading 1.34 g/t gold and 5.65 g/t silver with heap leach recoveries of 73% gold and 40% silver resulted in a production of 151,000 oz gold and 349,000 oz silver at a cash cost of US$ 257/eq oz gold over a 5 year mine life. Initial annual production of 41koz gold and 95koz silver with averages of 30koz gold/year and 70koz silver/year over the mine life. Capital expenditures (including working capital) estimated to be US$ 35.5 million. At US$ 1,025/oz gold and $16.50/oz silver, the IRR is 50%, the NPV at 5% is US$40.5 million and the payback is 1.47 years from the start of operations. The PEA was based on a 5 year 1:1 stripping ratio open pit mine, a 3,000t/d heap leach operation and a US$6.5 million reclamation and closure cost.
