2. Forward Looking Statements
This document contains forward-looking statements under Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited
to, statements with respect to the development potential and timetable of the Rosita project; the timing and amount of estimated future
development and exploration; costs of future activities; capital and operating expenditures; success of exploration activities; government regulation
of mining operations; and environmental risks. Generally, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology
such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not
anticipate”, or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”,
“might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”. Forward-looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management as of the
date such statements are made. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may
cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied
by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to risks related to: timing and availability of external financing on acceptable terms;
unexpected events and delays during construction, expansion and start-up; variations in ore grade and recovery rates; receipt and revocation of
government approvals; actual results of exploration and mining activities; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; future
prices of metals; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining
industry. Although management of the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There
can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those
anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company does not
undertake to update any forward-looking statements except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
The technical and scientific information included herein has been reviewed and approved by Joseph Arengi, M.Sc., P.Geo , President and CEO of
the Company, and a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators.

7. Project History & Overview
• Option agreement with Calibre Mining to earn a 65% interest in the Rosita D concession by
making the following payments:
– Project expenditures of C$4.0 million (C$2.5 million already spent)
– Issuance of 1,000,000 shares over a four year period (400,000 shares have been issued)
• Completed an initial 5,900 m drill program centered on the past producing Santa Rita and
R-13 deposits

Notes on Mineral Resource Estimation
1. See Data in NI 43-101 Technical Report entitled “Technical Report on Mineral Resource Estimate of the Rosita Stockpiles” dated June 22, 2012 and filed on SEDAR.
2. The mineral resource estimate base case is reported at a 0.15% copper equivalent cut-off grade; this cut-off incorporates consideration of mining and processing cost,
recoveries, commodity prices and selling cost.
3. The mineral resource estimate is reported on an undiluted basis.
4. The mineral resource estimate assumes a long term copper price of US$2.90/lb, a gold price of US$1,200/oz and a silver price of US$24/oz.
5. Rounding as required by NI 43-101 reporting guidelines may result in apparent summation differences between tonnes, grade and contained metal content.
6. Tonnage and grade measurements are in metric units. Contained gold and silver ounces are reported as troy ounces, contained copper pounds as imperial pounds.
7. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by
environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing, or other relevant issues.
8. The quantity and grade of reported inferred mineral resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define these inferred
mineral resources as indicated or measured mineral resources and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading them to indicated or measured mineral
resources.
Robust resource base at low resource discovery cost of $0.01/lb Cu1
