Additional resources and strong potential for future expansion and LOM increase
• First results from surface drilling confirming strong potential at Inmaculada
• 11 new veins discovered close to existing mine infrastructure
• Mine development added 10m Ag Eq resources in 2017
• Angela vein still open along strike

GREENFIELD PROGRAMME
14
Generating and advancing new greenfield opportunities
Deposit type
• Targeting skarns, epithermal veins and porphyries
Peru
• Portfolio reshuffled with promising targets generated• Five prospects selected: Fresia , Alto Ruri, Corina, Casma,
Cueva Blanca
Outside Peru
• Earn-in JVs/options from juniors with:― known districts― clear evidence of mineralisation― straightforward targets
• Jurisdictions with geological potential, political & regulatory stability, e.g. Chile, US, Canada, Mexico
Two deals announced
• Loro (Chile)― 4km of veins similar to nearby El Penon outcrop on discovery― Evidence of emerging epithermal vein system
• Cobalt Silver District (Canada)― Alliance established with Cobalt Power Group ― Historic production of silver/cobalt in Ontario

COSTS
Key drivers:
• Investment in brownfield growth programme
• Backfill/detox plants at Inmaculada – now fully
operational
• Narrow veins/less available stopes at Arcata
• High countrywide inflation in Argentina vs low
currency devaluation
• Patagonian port benefit cancellation in Q4 2016
Offset by…
• Better than expected grades/tonnage from
Pallancata
• Lower development costs at Pallancata (delayed to
2018)

Ore reserves and mineral resources estimates
Hochschild Mining plc reports its mineral resources and reserves estimates in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2004 edition (“the JORC Code”). This establishes
minimum standards, recommendations and guidelines for the public reporting of exploration results and mineral resources and reserves estimates. In doing so it emphasises the importance of principles of transparency, materiality and
confidence. The information on ore reserves and mineral resources were prepared by or under the supervision of Competent Persons (as defined in the JORC Code). Competent Persons are required to have sufficient relevant experience and
understanding of the style of mineralisation, types of deposits and mining methods in the area of activity for which they are qualified as a Competent Person under the JORC Code. The Competent Person must sign off their respective estimates
of the original mineral resource and ore reserve statements for the various operations and consent to the inclusion of that information in this report, as well as the form and context in which it appears.
Hochschild Mining plc employs its own Competent Person who has audited all the estimates set out in this report. Hochschild Mining Group companies are subject to a comprehensive programme of audits which aim to provide assurance in
respect of ore reserve and mineral resource estimates. These audits are conducted by Competent Persons provided by independent consultants. The frequency and depth of an audit depends on the risks and/or uncertainties associated with
that particular ore reserve and mineral resource, the overall value thereof and the time that has lapsed since the previous independent third-party audit. The JORC Code requires the use of reasonable economic assumptions. These include long-
term commodity price forecasts (which, in the Group’s case, are prepared by ex-house specialists largely using estimates of future supply and demand and long-term economic outlooks).
Ore reserve estimates are dynamic and are influenced by changing economic conditions, technical issues, environmental regulations and any other relevant new information and therefore these can vary from year-to-year. Mineral resource
estimates can also change and tend to be influenced mostly by new information pertaining to the understanding of the deposit and secondly the conversion to ore reserves. The estimates of ore reserves and mineral resources are shown as at
31 December 2017, unless otherwise stated. Mineral resources that are reported include those mineral resources that have been modified to produce ore reserves. All tonnage and grade information has been rounded to reflect the relative
uncertainty in the estimates; there may therefore be small differences. The prices used for the reserves calculation were: Au Price: US$1,200 per ounce and Ag Price: US$16.5 per ounce.
