  7. Slide 7: High Sulfidation Epithermal Refresher

    High Sulfidation Epithermal Refresher Barrick 2004

  8. 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

  9. Slide 9: Geology

    Geology Chile Argentina A Looking North A’  Dacite 5000m – Subvolcanic, flows, & domes  Diatreme Complex 4500m – Partially concealed by later flows & domes Legend Diatreme - phreatomagmatic breccia A A’ Dacite flows & domes Subvolcanic Dacite 500m

  10. Slide 10: Alteration

    Alteration Chile Argentina Looking North  Multi-stage & overlaps 5000m development of the diatreme complex  Classic zonation 4500m – Shallow steam heated zone – Vertical and lateral Legend zoning from Opal - alunite - kaolinite - S intermediate argillic A A’ Silicification – microcrystalline quart

    Discovery First drill hole at Alturas

  14. 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

  15. Slide 15: Mapping

    Mapping  Outcrop mapping identified key criteria – Preservation Preserved – Favorable host rock Block – Favorable alteration – Breccia

  16. 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
