Pimenton Mine Drilling & Development

Diamond drilling in the mine production area amounted to

3,900 meters over the past year. Ongoing drilling is dedicated to defining veins for subsequent exploration and development and then production, as well as providing solutions for problems related to mining and for longer term production planning. At Pimenton we drill for structure and drift for ore.

The Company has just completed a 600m ramp to access higher grade ore, 60m below the main 3195 level. These higher grade stopes are now being prepared for production. Anticipated production from this area should be within 2 months.

Pimenton of 400Mt at 0.40% Cu and 0.43g/t Au in one target area.

Substantial potential to add significant tonnage through further drilling

Multiple large Mobile Metal Ion Cu, Au and Moly anomalies established

Cerro Grande has to date drilled seven holes totalling 5,775 meters on porphyry exploration with Cerro Grande’s own drill rigs

Best hole to date cut 204 meters with 0.372% Cu and 0.24g/t

Au

Porphyry targets based on geology, assays and geochemistry/geophysics in mine area to be drilled in the coming winter of 2015

Pimenton lies in the same Miocene trend that hosts the mega

Chilean copper mines El Teniente, Andina, Los Bronces and

Pelambres

Santa Cecilia Drill Results

Diamond drill holes CDM 002 and 003 were put down on a strong and very large central CSAMT Quantec anomaly with closely coinciding gold and copper Mobile

Metal Ion anomalies. Both holes encountered strong but uneconomic gold, copper and molybdenum mineralization beneath the Santa Cecilia silica cap as summarized below.
