Pipeline to Production

Coricancha represents a near-term (~18-24 mo.) production opportunity that could provide a foundation for future growth in Peru

Acquisition finalized in Q2 2017, with exploration & development programs commencing immediately

Production history at Coricancha indicates potential for approx. 3 million Ag eq oz per year at full capacity – a 75% increase for GPR

Significant historical reserve & resource base, to be updated in Q4 2017, followed by prefeasibility study (“PFS”) in 2018

Looking for additional acquisition in the Americas, with a focus on Mexico and Peru

NOTE: Mineral Resource Estimates use an effective date of August 31, 2016; and all used a metal price outlook of US$18.00/oz silver and US$1,300/oz gold..| Topia,November 2014 - US$1,200/oz Au, US$17.00/oz Ag, US$0.90/lb Pb, and US$0.95/lb Zn. Silver equivalent calculations used the same metal pricing. | San Ignacio,December 2015 - US$15.00/oz Ag; US$1100/oz Au. | Silver equivalent calculations for El Horcon include lead content but not zinc, as the zinc would not be recoveredin the Guanajuato plant.
