Copper SupplyELEMENT 29
• Copper inventories are at near recordlows.

Positioned for GrowthELEMENT 29
Element 29 formed from the spinout of 2 key copper projects from GlobeTrotters Resource Group.
• Elida Project – grass roots discovery of a new porphyry copper system in central Peru.
• Flor de Cobre Project – acquisition of an historical secondary copper resource in the Southern Peru Copper Belt.
COMMERCIAL OBJECTIVES
• Develop low-cost, low-risk copper production opportunities in Peru.
• Continue to build a copper resource base to more than 4 million tonnes of contained copper.
E L E M E N T 2 911
100% ownership of the 19,210 ha• Discovered by GlobeTrotters Resource Group in
2011.
• Optioned to Lundin Mining Peru S.A.C (Lundin) in 2013.
Promising results from latest drilling• Intercept of 908.75 m at 0.39% Cu including 339.55
m at 0.50% Cu in ELID025 (and remains open to depth).
• Intercept of 383.75 m at 0.54% Cu including 314.85 m at 0.60% Cu in ELID019.
Economically Beneficial Location• Proximal to transportation, energy, and workforce.
• Low elevation (~1,600 m)
Large 2.5 x 2.5 km alteration system• High priority hydrothermal alteration target from a
satellite-borne sensor.
• Large hydrothermal alteration system containing 5 porphyry centers outlined from geologic mapping.
ELIDASUMMARY
The exploration target at Zone 1 is 250 Mt to 500 Mt with grades of 0.30% - 0.45% Cu, 0.02% - 0.05% Mo, and 2.5 g/t - 4.5 g/t Ag*.

* Copper equivalent grades (CuEq) are for comparative purposes only. Calculations are uncut and recovery is assumed to be 100% as metallurgical data isinsufficient to allow for estimation of metal recoveries. Copper equivalence (CuEq %) is calculated as: CuEq (%) = Cu (%) + [3.55 × Mo (%)] + [0.0095 × Ag (g/t)],utilizing metal prices of Cu - US$3.34/lb, Mo - US$11.86/lb and Ag - US$21.87/oz. Metal prices are based on a 2-year average of monthly LME metal prices.

Flor De CobreSUMMARY
1 The source of the historical resource estimate is a Rio Amarillo Mining Ltd. report – Candelaria Porphyry Copper Deposit, Arequipa, Peru, Mineral Reserve Estimate, 1996. This historical resource is relevant to Flor de Cobre as it suggests supergene-enrichedmineralization of interest may be present at Candelaria. However, the Company cautions that the parameters, assumptions, and methods used to calculate the historical estimate are unknown. Additionally, the historical estimate does not use resourcecategories described in CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (2014). It is also unclear what portion of this historical resource estimate is within the current Flor de Cobre property configuration. A Qualified Person has not donesufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource and it is unclear if the current work plan will confirm the resource. For these reasons, the historical resource has not been verified by the Company and the Company is not treatingthe historical estimate as a current mineral resource.
