Company owns India Coya, Los Sapos and Pepita projects (Copiapo region, Chile)
Gravitational concentration, flotation of gold oxides and sulphides and agitation leach of copper oxides
Metallurgical tests show good recoveries
High grades imply that low Capex is required to achieve desired production
2nd stage in development, first drilling at India Coya confirms that ore shoots continue at depth
Projects located in mining friendly district, no relevant environmental/community stakeholders
identified
Estimation of 2 years to start production
Access to mineral resources completed at India Coya trough mining ramp
Underground operation by Bench & Fill method at competitive cash cost
High grade, low Capex & Opex project in mining friendly district

India Coya Project
High grade Cu/Au oxide vein, located 25km south from Copiap. Ore shoots 3-5m wide.
1st exploration stage completed: 680m of access tunnels and 4,900m drilled from the tunnel towards the vein. 2 major high grade ore shoots identified
93koz @ 7.4 gpt Au Eq M,I&I Resources (non NI 43-101), including 63koz @ 7.7gpt Au Eq M+I, determined in oxide zone. Structure remains open at depth and along strike.
2nd exploration stage underway, preliminary results of first 3 drills show:
Central shoot resources extend al least 350m below surface
South shoot increases width and grades at depth
