Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates prepared in accordance with NI 43 - 101:
1. Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources are as defined by CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves
2. Mineral Resources are exclusive of Mineral Reserves
3. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability
4. There are no known legal, political, environmental or other risks that could materially affect the potential development of the Mineral Resources or
Mineral Reserves at San Jose
5. Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves are estimated and reported as of June 30, 2014
6. Mineral Reserves for San Jose are estimated using a break-even cut-off grade of 128 g/t Ag Eq based on assumed metal prices of US$21/oz Ag and
US$1,260/oz Au; estimated metallurgical recovery rates of 89% for Ag and 89% for Au; and projected operating costs for year-end 2014. Mineral
Resources are estimated at a Ag Eq cut-off grade of 100 g/t, with Ag Eq in g/t = Ag (g/t) + Au (g/t) * ((US$1,260/US$21) * (89/89))
7. Totals may not add due to rounding procedures

5. Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves are estimated as of June 30 and are reported as of December 31, 2013 taking into account productionrelated depletion for the period through December 31, 2013
6. Mineral Reserves for Caylloma are estimated using break-even cut-off grades based on estimated NSR values using assumed metal prices of
US$24.00/oz Ag, US$1,400/oz Au, US$2,100/t Pb and US$1,900/t Zn; metallurgical recovery rates of 82% for Ag, 45% for Au, 93% for Pb and 88%
for Zn; and projected operating costs for year-end 2013. Caylloma Mineral Resources are reported based on estimated NSR values using assumed
metal prices of US$25.14/oz Ag, US$1,391.63/oz Au, US$2,116/t Pb and US$2,028/t Zn; metallurgical recovery rates as detailed for Mineral
Reserves; and an NSR cut-off grade of US$50/t
