Q4-2014 total cash cost for the Company was $908/oz. Colombian peso devaluation, impact of increased production on fixed costs per ounce and, at Segovia, lower

contract mining costs (with costs tied to spot gold which decreased in Q4-2014).

Reductions in cash costs and G&A since the beginning of 2013 have been the key to our success in reducing AISC to the current $1,000/oz level.

All-In Sustaining Costs

• Engaged SRK USA’s mine engineering team to work with the local team at Segovia to optimize the life-of-mine (LOM) plan….plan completed end of February 2015.

• Focus was on the Company-operated areas, calculating appropriate mining cut-off grades, generating mine designs/schedules and the LOM cash flow models, including opex and capex.

Conclusions:• Priority should be given to developing the main ramp at Providencia.• Recommended change to existing mining method from room & pillar to

mechanized cut & fill.• Develop in waste rather than ore.• Complete the on site lab to reduce sample turnaround time.• Implement infill drilling from underground drilling stations to update the block

model and mine plans and increase confidence in grades prior to mining.• Prioritized equipment requirements including underground drills, lab equipment

and mine equipment.• Pampa Verde plant can wait….Maria Dama has sufficient capacity during LOM.
