-
This certificate applies to the technical report entitled “Taca Taca Project, Salta Province Argentina, Amended and Restated NI 43-101 Technical Report”, dated effective March 29th, 2021 (the “Technical Report”).
-
I am a professional mining engineer having graduated with an undergraduate degree of Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) from the Western Australian School of Mines in 1986. In addition, I have obtained a Master of Engineering Science degree from the James Cook University of North Queensland (1993), and subsequent Graduate Certificates in Mineral Economics and Project Management from Curtin University (Western Australia).
-
I am a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy.
-
I have worked as mining and geotechnical engineer for a period in excess of thirty years since my graduation from university. Within the last fifteen years I have held senior technical management positions in copper mining companies operating in Central Africa, and before that, as a consulting mining engineer working on mine planning and evaluations for base metals operations and development projects worldwide.
-
I have read the definition of “qualified person” as set out in National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and certify that, by reason of my education, affiliation with a professional association (as defined in NI 43-101) and past relevant work experience, I am a “qualified person” for the purposes of NI 43-101.
-
I most recently personally inspected the Taca Taca property described in the Technical Report in July 2016.
-
I am responsible for the preparation of those portions of the Technical Report relating to Mineral Reserve estimation and Mining, namely Items 15 and 16, respectively, and for Items 1 to 6, 15, 16, and 18 to 26.
-
I am not independent (as defined by Section 1.5 of NI 43-101) of First Quantum Minerals Ltd.
-
I have had prior involvement with the property that is the subject of the Technical Report. The nature of my prior involvement has been in mine planning and the preparation of scoping studies, commencing in 2013.
-
I have read NI 43-101 and Form 43-101F1 and the Technical Report has been prepared in compliance with that instrument and form.
-
As of the date of this certificate, to the best of my knowledge, information and belief, the Technical Report contains all scientific and technical information that is required for it to be disclosed and to make the Technical Report not misleading.
Signed and dated this 29[th] day of March 2021 at West Perth, Western Australia, Australia.
