• Resource expansion potential around existing mines andadditional known deposits
• No development drilling since Vale S.A. exit
• Untested near-mine geophysical targets, framingadditional discovery potential
• TVC mineralization is similar to El Soldado (AngloAmerican/Codelco) and Michilla (Antofagasta), whereexpansion of several times the initial LOM and/orproduction were realized
• Less than 10% of 46,348 hectare property has receivedexploration focus
• Over 70 artisanal exploitation points with geologicalcharacteristics similar to the Papomono and Don Gabrielorebodies are known inside the property
• Over 100 outcrop copper occurrences are also known
• No recent attention following Vale exit

Macro: Copper Fundamentals –Why We Like Copper
Structural Supply Deficit Expected• Development projects require higher prices – years of low
copper prices and under-investment in new supply means few new projects in the pipeline
• 2017 saw first decline in copper output in 15 years1
• Declining ore grades at current operations, falling 30% since 20001
• Insufficient high quality discoveries – approvals for new projects have hit a plateau despite a production deficit forecast over the long term2
Strong long-term demand growth expected• Chinese demand strong and expanding
• Electrification of transportation and infrastructure; up to 3.5x the copper for electric cars compared to conventional cars and between 11x – 16x for buses
• Paris agreement encouraging countries to seek lower emissions through developing technologies
• Government stimulus spending directed at infrastructure
• Renewable energy and decarbonization adoption

Macro: Copper Fundamentals –Why We Like Chile
• Chile is home to the largest concentration of world-class copper deposits
• #1 global copper producer – 28%1
• #1 global copper reserves – 23%1
• Significant pipeline of attractive mining investment opportunities
• Highly skilled and capable work force
• Well-functioning market economy, rule of law and sophisticated financial markets
