Completed: Sampling survey on milling and gravity gold circuits to identify

improvement opportunities Laboratory flotation recovery study on effect of fineness of grind,

% solids, and residence Pilot on-site testing of coarse and ultra fine gold flotation Flotation circuit and ancillary equipment expansion study to

determine OPEX and CAPEX for a flotation circuit expansion. Goal: improve flotation recovery and concentrate grade

Low-grade ore screening for 50% grade improvement for no capital

2017 Planned Improvements: Commissioning the flotation expansion (Q3 2017) for 1.8%

recovery improvement

Milling/Flotation material flow stability survey to identify areas where automation can be implemented to improve recovery

Introduction of high chrome grinding media for increased wear resistance, grinding media cost saving and improved pulp chemistry for improved flotation recovery

Costerfield Operational Improvements:Record High Rate Record Low Cost

Improved mine output/mill throughput from 170 tpd to 450 tpd (capped by grid power and site grinding capacity)

Changed mining method from cut-and-fill to blast-hole stoping with cemented rock fill (greater production, lower unit costs)

Introduced contract capital development for faster and lower cost results

Increased sub-level spacing from 5 – 10 m

Replaced mechanized mining fleet

Introduced mobile crusher to decrease particle size of mill feed (better recoveries, higher throughput)

Grew mine life from zero reserves to roughly 4 years while mining continuously for 7 years –Cuffley and N-lode

Cerro Bayo Operating Performance and ImprovementsCerro Bayo Operational Improvements:

Shifted the mining method from shrinkage stoping to completely mechanized blast hole open stoping;

Ramped up throughput from 0 tpd –1,400 tpd from three mines

Installed flotation automation system to maximize silver and gold recoveries

Extended mine life from 3 years at 1,200 tpd to 4 years at 1,400 tpd while mining continuously for 6 years

Ongoing improvements to increase pace of development mining
