LONG EXPERIENCE IN KEY MINING JURISDICTIONS IN THE AMERICAS

Argentina: transforming cashflow potential

17

• One of the key mining jurisdictions in Americas

• Positive effects from ongoing Sol devaluation on operating costs

• Strong Peruvian government support for mining

• National elections in April – all candidates expected to be pro-business

Positive Peruvian environment

• Peso devaluation ― Approximately 40% in Dec 2015 ― 70% of operating costs incurred in pesos ― Material impact on cost position

• Port rebate ― Rebate from exports thru Patagonian ports restored Nov

2015 ― ≈ 9% FOB value of exports: ≈ $15 million p.a. for HOC

• Tax Elimination ― 10% export taxes on conc sales eliminated as of 12 Feb

≈$8-10m p.a. benefit (50% production) ― 5% export taxes on dore sales also eliminated ≈$4-5m p.a.
