Corporate Presentation April 13, 2016
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and forward-looking information within the meaning of the Securities Act (Ontario) (together, "forward-looking statements"). Such forward-looking statements may include but are not limited to the Company's plans for production at its Guanajuato and Topia Mines in Mexico, exploring its other properties in Mexico and Peru, the overall economic potential of its properties, the availability of adequate financing and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements to be materially different. Such factors include, among others, risks and uncertainties relating to potential political risks involving the Company's operations in a foreign jurisdiction, uncertainty of production and cost estimates and the potential for unexpected costs and expenses, physical risks inherent in mining operations, currency fluctuations, fluctuations in the price of silver, gold and base metals, completion of economic evaluations, changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, the inability or failure to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis, and other risks and uncertainties, including those described in the Company's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2015 and Material Change Reports filed with the Canadian Securities Administrators available at www.sedar.com, and reports on Form 40-F and Form 6-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available at www.sec.gov. Statements concerning mineral reserve and resource estimates may also be deemed to constitute forward-looking statements to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if the property is developed. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “plans”, “projects”, “estimates”, “assumes”, “intends”, “strategy”, “goals”, “objectives”, “potential” or variations thereof, or stating that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved, or the negative of any of these terms and similar expressions) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements. Robert Brown, P. Eng. is the Qualified Person under NI 43-101 for the projects discussed in this presentation.

DISCLAIMER
3
The terms "Measured resource", "Indicated resource" and "Inferred resource" used in this document are Canadian mining terms as defined in National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves have not been demonstrated to be economically and legally extractable. Mineral resource estimates do not account for mineability, selectivity, mining loss and dilution. It should not be assumed that all or any part of a resource will ever be converted to a reserve. The mineral resource estimates presented herein include Inferred mineral resources that are normally considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is also no certainty that these Inferred resources will be converted to Measured and Indicated resource categories through further drilling, or into mineral reserves once economic considerations are applied. We advise U.S. Investors that while the terms "Measured resource", "Indicated resource" and "Inferred resource" are recognized and required to be reported by Canadian regulations, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") does not recognize these terms and does not normally permit such terms to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. As such, information contained in this document concerning descriptions of mineralization and resources under Canadian standards may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC. Inferred resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and a great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of a Measured, Indicated or Inferred resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of an Inferred mineral resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable. U.S. investors are also cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in the Measured resource or Indicated resource categories will ever be converted into reserves.

Silver equivalent ounces for 2016 guidance have been calculated using a 70:1 Au:Ag ratio, and a ratio of 1:0.0504 for the US dollar price of silver ounces to the US dollar price for lead and zinc pounds respectively. These ratios will be applied consistently for the reporting of silver equivalent ounce production for 2016. 2. “Cash cost” and “AISC” are non-IFRS measures. Refer to the “Non-IFRS measures” section of the Company’s MD&A for complete definitions and reconciliations to the company’s financial statements.
Downturn in mining industry has presented significant acquisition opportunities at discounted prices
Rather than buying outright, taking an option approach to acquisitions is non-dilutive and preserves cash
More than 100 projects and 30 public companies evaluated over the last 5 years
Opportunity to de-risk projects before making final commitment
A CONTRARIAN APPROACH TO GROWTH
Cash payments and exploration & development expenditures are spread out over the option period

RESOURCES
NOTE: Mineral Resource Estimates for Guanajuato and El Horcon use an effective date of July 31, 2015 while San Ignacio uses an effective date of December 31, 2015; and all used a metal price outlook of US$15.00/oz silver and US$1,100/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 recovered in the Guanajuato plant. Robert Brown, P. Eng. is the Qualified Person under NI 43-101 for Guanajuato, Topia, San Ignacio and El Horcon.
