DISCLAIMER The information provided in this presentation is not intended to be a comprehensive review of all matters and developments concerning the Company. It should be read in conjunction
with all other disclosure documents of the Company. The information contained herein is not a substitute for detailed investigation or analysis. No securities commission or regulatory
authority has reviewed the accuracy or adequacy of the information presented.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation and the United States Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such
forward-looking statements concern the Company’s anticipated results and developments in the Company’s operations and financial condition in future periods, planned exploration
and development of its properties, plans related to its business and other matters that may occur in the future. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts
and are generally, but not always, identified by words such as the following: expects, plans, anticipates, believes, intends, estimates, projects, assumes, potential and similar
expressions, and include reference to events or conditions that will, would, may, could or should occur. These statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on
expectations of future performance, including silver, gold, lead, zinc and copper production and planned work programs, cash flow forecasts, projected capital and operating costs, and
metal price assumptions. Statements concerning mineral resource estimates may also constitute forward-looking statements to the extent that they involve estimates of the
mineralization that will be encountered if the property is developed. Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
which could cause actual events or results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation: risks related to precious and base
metal price fluctuations; risks related to fluctuations in the currency markets (particularly the Mexican peso, Canadian dollar and United States dollar); risks related to the inherently
dangerous activity of mining, including conditions or events beyond our control, and operating or technical difficulties in mineral exploration, development and mining activities;
uncertainty in the Company’s ability to raise financing and fund the exploration and development of its mineral properties; uncertainty as to actual capital costs, operating costs,
production and economic returns, and uncertainty that development activities will result in profitable mining operations; risks related to reserves and mineral resource figures being
estimates based on interpretations and assumptions which may result in less mineral production under actual conditions than is currently estimated and to diminishing quantities or
grades of mineral reserves as properties are mined; risks related to governmental regulations and obtaining necessary licenses and permits; risks related to the business being subject
to environmental laws and regulations which may increase costs of doing business and restrict our operations; risks related to mineral properties being subject to prior unregistered
agreements, transfers, or claims and other defects in title; risks relating to inadequate insurance or inability to obtain insurance; risks related to potential litigation; risk related to the
global economy; risks related to environmental laws; risks related to the Company’s status as a foreign private issuer; risks related to all of the Company’s properties being located in
Mexico including political, economic, social and regulatory instability and all country risks related to Mexico. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. The Company’s forward-looking statements are
based on beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date the statements are made. For the reasons set forth above, actual results may vary from those implied or
projected by forward-looking statements and therefore investors should not place undue reliance on such statements. All monetary figures are expressed in United States dollars
unless otherwise specified.
Technical Reports for the Rosario and San Felipe projects were prepared by Gustavson Associates, LLC in Lakewood Colorado, independent consultants to Santacruz Silver Mining
Ltd. The qualified persons who prepared and supervised these reports under National Instrument (NI 43-101) Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, are Donald E. Hulse P.E.,
SME-RM, Patrick F. Daniels, SME-PM, and M. Claiborne Newton III Ph.D, C.P.G. of ECSI LLC in Blacksburg Virginia. Under NI 43-101 the Qualified Person who review and approved
the technical information on this presentation is Mr. Donald Hulse, who is an independent consultant for Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. The Gavilanes project resource estimation was
completed by Gary Giroux, P.Eng. of Giroux Consultants and utilized a geological model completed by Hans Smit, P.Geo and Fletcher Bourke, P.Geo. The geological model has six
domains; Guadalupe vein (GP), GP envelope, Descubridora vein (DS), DS envelope, San Nicloas (SN) envelope and stockwork Zone. Assays for each vein, envelope and stockwork
zone were examined and a top cap was applied to each variable within each domain. Uniform 2.5 m composites were formed for the vein envelopes and stockwork zone while 0.5 m
composites were formed for the two vein domains. Variography was completed for the GP vein, GP envelope and the stockwork zone. Grades for all variables were interpolated into
blocks 2.5 x 5 x 5 m using Ordinary Kriging. For blocks with multiple domains present, a weighted average was determined for the mineralized portion. A specific gravity was
established for each domain based on 216 measurements of drill core. Estimated blocks were classified as Indicated or Inferred based on geologic and grade continuity.

* The production decision was not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. Accordingly, there is increased uncertainty and economic and technical
risks of failure associated with this production decision. Production and economic variables may vary considerably, due to the absence of a complete and detailed analysis as would be included in a
feasibility study. The risks associated with this decision are set forth in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's most recent Annual Information Form, filed on SEDAR.
**This potential or target range of silver equivalent is conceptual in nature and is based upon the continuation of the visible mineralization from the areas where drilling has occurred. There has been
insufficient exploration to determine whether the conceptual amount of mineralization (other than the existing NI43-101 resources in respect of the Rosario and San Felipe properties) can be delineated as
mineral resources in accordance with NI 43-101. It is uncertain whether further exploration will result in the conceptual amount being delineated as a mineral resource.

Rosario Mine Overview/Resources
*This potential or target range of silver equivalent is conceptual in nature and is based upon the continuation of the visible mineralization from the areas where drilling has occurred. There has been insufficient exploration to determine whether the conceptual amount of mineralization (other than the existing NI43-101 resources in respect of the Rosario and San Felipe properties) can be delineated as mineral resources in accordance with NI 43-101. It is uncertain whether further exploration will result in the conceptual amount being delineated as a mineral resource.
1) The production decision was not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. Accordingly, there is increased uncertainty and economic and technical risks of failure associated with this production decision. Production and economic variables may vary considerably, due to the absence of a complete and detailed analysis as would be included in a feasibility study. The risks associated with this decision are set forth in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's most recent Annual Information Form, filed on SEDAR.
** See the report entitled “NI 43-101 Technical Report on Resources, Rosario Mine, San Luis Potosí, Mexico” dated December 19, 2012 and filed SEDAR on December 28, 2012.
Note: Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The quantity and grade of inferred resources reported herein are uncertain in
nature and exploration completed to date is insufficient to define these mineral resources as indicated or measured. There is no guarantee that further exploration will result in the
inferred mineral resources being upgraded to an indicated or measured mineral resource category.
*AgEq is the silver equivalent in ppm used to calculate the cutoff. The silver equivalent was calculated with the following equitation;
AgEq= (Ag *Pag/31.1035)+(Pb* PPb *22.05)+(Zn*Pzn *22.05)+(Au*Pau/31.1035)

Gavilanes Project Resources
Gavilanes will restart exploration by Q2 2014.
Mining claims covering a total area of 8,832 hectares
Gavilanes is located between Minas de Basis and Tayoltita on the same mineralized trend.*
Epithermal low sulphidation polymetallic mineralization containing high grades of Ag and Au
(surface samples >1100 g/t Ag and >4 g/t Au).*
7 veins clearly identified with only 3 drilled to date (GSA, Descubridora, and San Nicolas).*
Stockwork area called El Hundido has been clearly identified by diamond drilling.*
* The resource estimation was completed by Gary Giroux, P.Eng. of Giroux Consultants and utilized a geological model completed by Hans Smit, P.Geo and Fletcher Bourke, P.Geo. The geological
model has six domains; Guadalupe vein (GP), GP envelope, Descubridora vein (DS), DS envelope, San Nicloas (SN) envelope and stockwork Zone. Assays for each vein, envelope and stockwork
zone were examined and a top cap was applied to each variable within each domain. Uniform 2.5 m composites were formed for the vein envelopes and stockwork zone while 0.5 m composites were
formed for the two vein domains. Variography was completed for the GP vein, GP envelope and the stockwork zone. Grades for all variables were interpolated into blocks 2.5 x 5 x 5 m using Ordinary
Kriging. For blocks with multiple domains present, a weighted average was determined for the mineralized portion. A specific gravity was established for each domain based on 216 measurements of
drill core. Estimated blocks were classified as Indicated or Inferred based on geologic and grade continuity.

Selected Drill Samples
La Ventana
2.5 Km Outcrop
Continue ramp-up Rosario to 500 tpd during Q2 2014.*
Gavilanes will restart exploration during Q2 2014.
PEA for San Felipe Q1 2014 (Phase I @ 750 tpd, Phase II @ 1,250 tpd,
Phase III @ 2,000 tpd).
Increase silver equivalent resources in respect of its three properties.**
* The production decision was not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viabili ty. Accordingly, there is increased uncertainty and
economic and technical risks of failure associated with this production decision. Production and economic variables may vary considerably, due to the absence of a complete and
detailed analysis as would be included in a feasibility study. The risks associated with this decision are set forth in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's most recent Annual
Information Form, filed on SEDAR.
**This potential or target range of silver equivalent is conceptual in nature and is based upon the continuation of the visible mineralization from the areas where drilling has occurred.
There has been insufficient exploration to determine whether the conceptual amount of mineralization (other than the existing NI43-101 resources in respect of the Rosario and San
Felipe properties) can be delineated as mineral resources in accordance with NI 43-101. It is uncertain whether further exploration will result in the conceptual amount being
delineated as a mineral resource.
