Ag equivalent grade = Ag grade + (Au grade (i) 50) (Rounding may cause    apparent discrepancies).2.  Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated    economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the    estimated Mineral Resources will be converted into Mineral Reserves.    All Mineral Resources have been classified in accordance with the    Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), CIM    Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines    prepared by the Standards Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted    by the CIM Council on December 11, 2005 and updated on November 27,    2010.3.  Mineral Resources tonnage and contained-metal have been rounded to the    nearest thousand and numbers might not add due to rounding.4.  Two cutoffs are given for reporting the resources: 40g/t AgEq for    elevations above 270m, and 100g/t AgEq for elevations below 270m    elevation. Average elevation at Pinguino is 400 metres above sea-level.5.  MDA reports resources at cutoffs that are reasonable for deposits of    this nature given anticipated mining methods and plant processing costs,    while also considering economic conditions.6.  Grades presented are in situ and have been diluted to 3m by 6m by 4m    (high) blocks.
