Q1 2012 Performance • During Q1 2012, TVI had a net loss of $2.3 million compared to net income of $0.3 million for Q1 2011. The net loss was primarily due to the following: • Average copper prices in Q1 2012 declined 12% to US$3.85/lb from US$4.38/lb in Q1 2011; • An increase in treatment, refining
Slide 14: Q1 2012 Performance
Q1 2012 Performance • The ore feed grades have continued to decline, as expected in the mine plan. The average copper feed grade during the quarter was 0.85% Cu compared to 1.15% Cu in Q1 2011. • The operations team has worked to suppress the penalty elements while the buyer of copper concentrate ha
Slide 15: Q1 2012 Performance
Q1 2012 Performance Similar improvements in recovery of zinc and gold have also been realized, and with its continuous improvement programs, TVI will continue to optimize its throughput in an effort to offset expected declining feed grades 15
