High Grade Intercepts Drilled in April For personal use only Note the quoted gold equivalent grade assumes a conversion of 70:1 for converting silver to gold equivalent. This is a conservative approach to enable comparisons to the reserve published in 2010. The ratio of 70:1 assumes the differential metallurgical recoveries assumed in the NI43101 Report produced in 2010 and the metal prices assumed at that time. Because silver prices have risen proportionally more than gold prices, this ratio is increasingly conservative for high silver grade intercepts. Using the same assumptions for metallurgical recoveries but current prices of: Au – US$1500/oz and Ag – US$35/oz Gives a conversion ratio of 50:1 to convert silver to gold. The impact can be seen for hole CA-11-300 5.4m @ 8.18 g/t Au and 2,607 g/t Ag Was reported as 45.43 g/t Au_eq assuming a conversion ratio for silver to gold of 70:1 The grade would be 60.3g/t Au_eq if the conversion ratio of 50:1 was assumed. 24
