  • Looking Forward

    • Casposo reaching its full potential – it will be one of the lowest cost gold mines reporting

    on the ASX

    • Release updated mine plan for Casposo in June quarter incorporating the high grade

    Kamila SE Extension discovery

    • Ongoing exploration at Casposo and Andorinhas

    • Opening of Troy office in Toronto raising the profile on the TSX

    • Continue to look for the next M+A opportunity

  • Qualifying Statements

    1. Au_Eq grade calculated using a gold to silver ratio of 1:70. As per May 2010 Current Casposo NI-43101 Technical Report The gold equivalent cut-off was determined according to the parameters below:

    • Au/Ag ratio 1:70.00 • Au Price US$933.33/oz • Ag Price US$15.50/oz • Au processing recovery 93.7% • Ag processing recovery 80.6%

    Gold equivalency is determined by metal price and recovery factors. Metal prices were the average prices assumed in the Casposo life of mine plan. Processing recoveries were determined by metallurgical test work carried out by independent consultants on diamond drill core from Casposo.

    The equivalency is calculated by the formula - Gold: Silver ratio: = (gold price ÷ silver price) x (gold recovery ÷ silver recovery) = (933.33 ÷ 15.5) x (.937 ÷ .806) = 70.00

    Gold equivalency is calculated by the formula: Au_Eq g/t = Au g/t + (Ag g/t ÷ 70.00)

    2. NSR – No Significant Results All samples were prepared and assayed by Alex Stewart (Assayers) Argentina Laboratory in Mendoza Argentina. 3. Gold by FA and either a gravimetric or AAS finish, using method gold 4-50 or gold 4A 50 for samples with gold>10g/t 4. Silver by three techniques: four-acid digestion followed by AAS reading for check samples up to February 2006, aqua regia digestion followed by inductively coupled plasma with optical

    emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) reading for all samples in mineralised intersections after February 2006. Method numbers were GMA, ICP-AR-39 and silver 4A-50.
