prepared by P.J. Lafleur Geo-Conseil Inc. Mine Life is 6.0 years at an initial rate of 1,300 dmt per day and increasing to 1,850 dmt in year four. Canatuan Q2, 2009 operational highlights excludes selling expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the copper pound equivalent for metals shipped was calculated using commodity prices of US$1.77/lb for copper, US$932.95/oz for gold and US$13.45/oz for silver. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, the copper pound equivalent for metals shipped was calculated using commodity prices of US$2.11/lb for copper, US$913.52/oz for gold and US$13.42/oz for silver. The copper pound equivalent for metals in ending inventory at June 30, 2009, was calculated using commodity prices of US$2.32/lb for copper, US$937.75/oz for gold and US$13.94/oz for silver.
