Notes on Mineral Reserves and Resources: 1. Total proven and probable mineral reserves are included in total measured and indicated resources. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Mineral reserves and mineral resources are disclosed on a total project basis (at 100%). Tonnages are metric tonnes and are rounded to the closet million tonnes. Grades are rounded to the closest “0.0” and contained gold is reported as troy ounces. 2. Mineral resources for Ollachea are reported above a cut-off of 2.0 g/t Au. Mineral reserves at Ollachea are based upon a gold price of $1,300 per ounce, LOM project
- perating costs of $49.2 per tonne of ore. Mineral reserves for Ollachea were estimated under the supervision of John Hearne of Coffey Mining Pty Ltd., who is
recognized as a Qualified Person for the purposes of NI 43-101. 3. Mineral resources for the Don Nicolas are declared with an effective date of 29 November 2012 and are are reported above a cut-off 1.5 g/t Au, except for La Paloma, which is 1.6 g/t Au, due to an increased trucking distance. Mineral reserves at Don Nicolas are based upon August 2011 mineral resources, a gold price of $1,100 per
- unce, and a silver price of $25 per ounce. LOM mining costs are estimated at $2.80/t of material. La Paloma requires an additional of $5/t for hauling to Martinetas.
Processing Costs are estimated $35/t for all materials milled. Site G&A is estimated at $7.10 per tonne milled. Mineral reserves are associated with an ore:waste ratio of 11.9:1. Mineral reserves were estimated under the supervision of Carlos Guzmán of NCL Ingenieria y Construccion Limitada, Chile, who is recognized as a Qualified Person for the purposes of NI 43-101. Minera IRL has a 51% interest in Minera IRL Pantagonia, the holding company for Don Nicolas. 4. Corihuarmi mineral resources based upon mineral resources as at 1 January 2010 less depletion from 1 January 2010 until 29 November 2012 and a change in cut-off grade to 0.18 g/t Au for the Susan Deposit and 0.16 g/t Au for the Diana Deposit. Corihuarmi Inferred Resource is based on scree deposit as at 28 February 2010 less
- depletion. Mineral resources at Corihuarmi were prepared under the supervision of Mr. Miguel Zulueta Torres of MZT Consulting and Alex Virisheff, Jean-Francois St-
Onge, and Doug Corley of Coffey Mining Pty Ltd., who are recognized as Qualified Persons for the purposes of NI 43-101. 5. For additional technical information, please refer to the associated NI 43-101 technical reports or the Company’s most recent AIF, which are available on SEDAR.
