Summary – to date

2002 – 2003
• Exploration upside at Cerro Vanguardia is excellent
• New concepts and understanding in the Fe Quad has reinvigorated
exploration in this historic camp
• Peru’s greenfields projects, although at early stages, have advanced
quickly and show promise of new resources in 2003 and 2004
• Actively pursuing new greenfields projects and opportunities in other
areas of South America
