Environment

Existing Facilities

Proven Track

Record

• Modern power grid

• Paved highway access

• Abundant water supply

• Trained work force

• Three mines feed a central 500 tpd processing plant: currently at 427 tpd

• Have 200 tpd pilot plant for Capire mine expansion

• Took ownership in 2006 and been profitable annually ever since

• Silver production increased from cash flow by 209% from 2007-2010 with

low cost production (avg. $60 per tonne)

• Revenue per production tonne sold increased by 37% while direct costs

per tonne marginally increased by 15% (fiscal years 2008-2010)

• No environmental issues

• No security issues

• 3 hour drive from Mexico City

Direct cost per tonne produced $75.52 $63.29 $60.39 $54.80

*Silver production was marginally down 9% because the Company revised cut-off grades and mined

more medium grade ore because of high Silver prices during the fiscal year.
