Slide 8: High Sulfidation Epithermal Refresher
High Sulfidation Epithermal Refresher Disseminated Au & Ag mineralization Generally large and low grade with local bonanza zones possible Amenable to heap leach when oxidized Often associated with large alteration halos

Slide 14: Regional Mapping and Sections
Regional Mapping and Sections Porphyry-focused program initiated in 2010 El Indio 1:25,000 mapping and 42 Pascua-Lama section Veladero 19 targets identified including 4 HS El Indio El Indio Alturas Alturas Alturas 25km Chile Argentina
Slide 15: Mapping
Mapping Outcrop mapping identified key criteria – Preservation Preserved – Favorable host rock Block – Favorable alteration – Breccia
Slide 16: Target Delineation Stage – Sampling
Target Delineation Stage – Sampling Geochemistry – Small but significant Au anomaly (2) – Broader Hg anomaly – Support for concealed target to the east Geophysics – Strong resistors identified by CSAMT – Also support for concealed target to the east
