Highlights

==> picture [124 x 22] intentionally omitted <==

Near term development opportunity at the Miraflores deposit

  • Measured and Indicated Resources of 1.8Moz gold and 3.6Moz silver (NI 43-101 compliant)

  • Feasibility Study (“FS”) is ~90% complete and Technical Report completed by SRK in 2015 indicated AISC of US$682/oz gold

  • Significant upside in re-working and optimising the project through an accelerated production schedule and reduced capex

Significant gold/copper porphyry system at Tesorito

  • Drill hole TS-DH-02 returned an intercept of 384m @ 1.01g/t Au, 0.9g/t Ag and 0.08% Cu from surface

  • TS-DH-02 ended in mineralisation, with the bottom portion of the hole returning 0.7m at 3.4g/t Au and 2.6% Cu

Extensive regional exploration upside potential

  • 100% interest in an extensive and prospective land package

  • Quinchia is located in the world class Mid-Cauca Porphyry belt, highly prospective for gold, silver and copper deposits, typical of the large gold porphyry systems that have been identified to date in Colombia

The acquisition paves the way for Metminco to become a gold producer generating strong cash flows

AISC: Includes direct operating costs, third party smelting, refining and transport costs, by-product credits, royalties and production taxes, and sustaining capital

Summary of the Transaction

==> picture [124 x 22] intentionally omitted <==

  • Seafield Resources Ltd (“Seafield”) went into receivership on 9 Sep-14 after failing to restructure its financing arrangement with its senior-secured creditor, RMB. Consequently, RMB acquired a right to 100% of Minera Seafield in March 2016

  • Minera Seafield holds a 100% interest in 15 mining concessions in the Quinchia District, Colombia

  • Seafield had a market cap of ~C$50m in 2010/2011 prior to entering into receivership and had spent an estimated C$40m on the project

  • Metminco is acquiring the project from RMB, including upfront consideration of A$1.6m in MNC Shares and A$0.5m, with A$7m in deferred payments and a maximum of A$7m NSR payments. Diagram below provides indicative timing of acquisition payments

Metminco’s approach

Targeted Outcomes

  • SRK FS 2013 ~90% complete

  • RMB contracted SRK to complete a Technical Report in Feb-2015 using the incomplete FS

  • Mine optimisation - increase mill throughput

  • Take advantage of the significant Peso devaluation and reduced fuel costs

  • Use contractor / leased equipment to reduce capital

  • Take advantage of suppressed construction engineering and capital equipment market

  • Mine optimisation – smaller initial open pit with subsequent push backs

  • Complete EIS and permitting

==> picture [43 x 261] intentionally omitted <==

  • Project construction in 2018 for Q1 2019 production start

  • Increase mill throughput by 160ktpa to 800ktpa
