  3. I am a professional geologist having graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree with Honours (1988) in Geology from Rhodes University in Grahamstown, South Africa.

  4. I am a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and a Fellow Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists (FAIG).

  5. I have worked as a geologist for a total of twenty eight years since my graduation from university. I have gained over fifteen years of experience in production geology and over five years of exploration management of precious, base metal and copper deposits. Over the last ten years I have held senior technical mineral resource positions in copper mining companies operating in Central Africa and worldwide.

  6. 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.

  7. I most recently personally inspected the Taca Taca property described in the Technical Report in March 2019.

  8. I am responsible for the preparation of those portions of the Technical Report relating to geology, data collection, data analysis and verification and Mineral Resource estimation (namely Items 7 to 12 and 14).

  9. I am not independent (as defined by Section 1.5 of NI 43-101) of First Quantum Minerals Ltd.

  10. 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 the assurance of sampling QAQC, optimisation of estimation methods and the development of geology and mineralisation models.

  11. I have read NI 43-101 and Form 43-101F1 and the Technical Report has been prepared in compliance with that instrument and form.

  12. 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.
