Mr. Doyle has sufficient experience, which is relevant to the style of mineralization and type of deposit under consideration, and to the activity he is undertaking, to qualify as a “competent person” as defined in the 2004 edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Mr. Doyle has reviewed and approved the information contained in this report.

Notes to preparation of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves for Casposo
1. Mineral Resources are estimated using a US$1,000/oz gold price and US$15/oz silver price. An economic function that includesti t t ll i l i d lt t h b li doperating costs, metallurgical recoveries and royalty costs has been applied.
2. Rounding as required by reporting guidelines may result in apparent differences between tonnes, grade and contained metal content.3. Tonnage and grade measurements are in metric units. Gold ounces are reported as troy ounces.4. All Mineral Reserves are reported in the Probable category5. Mineral Reserves are estimated using a gold price of US$690/oz and US11.80/oz silver price and an economic function that includes
operating costs metallurgical recoveries and royalty costsoperating costs, metallurgical recoveries and royalty costs.6. Cut-off grades for Mineral Resources were 0.8g/t gold equivalent for open pit and 2.0g/t gold equivalent for underground. Gold
equivalent grades for Mineral Resources were based on metal prices of US$915/oz gold and US$13/oz silver and processingrecoveries of 93.7% for gold and 80.6% for silver.
7. Cut-off grades for Mineral Reserves were 1.56g/t gold equivalent for open pit and 3.5g/t gold equivalent for underground. Goldequivalent grades for Mineral Reserves were based on metal prices of US$690/oz gold and US$11.8/oz silver and processing
