Miraflores Development Opportunity

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

  • Previous Feasibility Study work on Miraflores by conducted by Minera Seafield included:

  • Open Pit & Underground mining operation

  • Ore processing via gravity and float concentration followed by cyanide leaching. 62% of gold is recovered from gravity separation

  • Metminco subsequently revisited the mining plan and is now planning to permit an underground only mining operation

  • Focus of work to-date has only been on an area of some 20 Ha

  • Drilling has not been optimal & step-out drilling is required

  • Strike extensions of the identified mineralisation need to be explored

An attainable growth strategy in a highly prospective porphyry gold province

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

  • Near term development opportunity at Miraflores

  • Feasibility Study planned to be completed in early 2017

  • Two development options

  • Open pit in combination with an underground mining operation

  • Underground mining operation only

  • Underground only mining operation (inclusive of 21% contingency)

  • Favourable financial returns

  • Generates average EBITDA of US$32 million per annum (NPV @ 8% of US$73 million & IRR of 26%)

  • Produces ± 50,000 ounces gold per annum at steady state

  • 9 year life of mine commencing late 2018

  • Minimal environmental footprint

  • Significant upside potential at Tesorito – near surface gold porphyry complex

  • Exploration program planned

  • Other substantial targets in close proximity to Miraflores / Tesorito (e.g. Chuscal)

  • Funding requirement of US$8 - 9 million over next 16 months
