This presentation contains certain “forward-looking statements” and “forward-looking information” under applicable securities laws.

Except for statements of historical fact, certain information contained herein constitutes forward-looking statements. Forward-looking

statements are frequently characterized by words such as “plan”, “expect”, “project”, “intend”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, and

other similar words, or statements that certain events or conditions “may” or “will” occur. Forward looking information may include,

but is not limited to, statements with respect to the future financial or operating performances of the Corporation, its subsidiaries and

their respective projects, the timing and amount of estimated future production, estimated costs of future production, capital,

operating and exploration expenditures, the future price of copper, gold and zinc, the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, the

realization of mineral reserve estimates, the costs and timing of future exploration, requirements for additional capital, government

regulation of exploration, development and mining operations, environmental risks, reclamation and rehabilitation expenses, title

disputes or claims, and limitations of insurance coverage. Forward-looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of

management at the date the statements are made, and are based on a number of assumptions and subject to a variety of risks and

uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking

statements. Many of these assumptions are based on factors and events that are not within the control of the Corporation and there is

no assurance they will prove to be correct. Factors that could cause actual results to vary materially from results anticipated by such

forward-looking statements include changes in market conditions and other risk factors discussed or referred to in the section entitled

“Risk Factors” in the Corporation’s annual information form dated March 29, 2010. Although the Corporation has attempted to identify

important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking

statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be

no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from

those anticipated in such statements. The Corporation undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements if circumstances

or management’s estimates or opinions should change except as required by applicable securities laws. The reader is cautioned not to

place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Unless otherwise stated, the information contained in this presentation is as of June 1, 2010. Unless otherwise stated, all dollars are

The cornerstone of Iberian's Hedging Policy is the protection of the Company's assets. Management,

reporting to the Hedging Committee, continually reviews the markets in which the Company trades, and

depending on circumstances, decides if any additional or altered hedging is appropriate to enhance the

future cash flow of the Company’s operations while respecting protection of the Company’s assets.

The hedging program for Condestable Mine is fixed and in accordance with the terms of its syndicated loan.
