Geo. & Andrew Hilchey, P.Geo., of Mercator Geological Services Limited. * “cut off” based on operating & processing costs estimated by Tetra Tech (2011 PEA). Feb 2013 - 3yr trailing average metal prices: $0.95 /lb Zn, $1.00 /lb Pb, $3.68 /lb Cu, $29.00 /oz Ag, $1,493.65 /oz Au.

Inferred Mineral Resources are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves, and there is therefore no certainty that the conclusions of the PEA will be realized.
