The Mineral Resources estimation for El Porvenir mine is based on the geological interpretation for each mineralize

Regarding the construction of the mineralized solids, the main levels, openings and pits provide information
Three types of mineralized bodies and mineralized veins can be identified in the El Porvenir deposit, these are:
 Skarn: forms mineralized bodies of irregular to structural controlled geometry, primarily contained
within the Pucará Group, comprising garnet with associated metallic mineralization of galena, sphal
 Replacement: mantos to irregular geometry bodies within the Pucará Group, comprising metallic mineralization of galena, s
 Structurally controlled material (i.e., veins): mineralization comprising galena, sphalerite, and silver-bearing sulfosalts

The current Mineral Resource estimation included a full review of the modelling of the mineralized bodies both in 3D plan view.
 Mineralized bodies were constructed using interpretation of sections and plans produced by the mine geologists. The strike
 Bodies were only extrapolated 40 m from the last mineralised intersect.
Reinterpretation of mineralization continuity has resulted in new modelled geometry of some mineralized bodies, see Fig
Figure 14-3 illustrates the revisions to the mineralization model in more detail.

A Quantitative Kriging Neighbourhood Analysis (“QKNA”) was performed by Milpo to identify optimum
parameters to be used for the interpolation process. Based on the QKNA results, three possible
scenarios were established for estimation of each element (OK1, OK2 and OK3), using Ordinary Kriging and Inverse
A comparison of Nearest Neighbor vs Ordinary Kriging was performed with to determine the most appropriate parameters for
Grade interpolation was performed using Ordinary Kriging with anomalous value restriction to report the Zn, Ag and Cu elemen
The interpolation strategy incorporated two estimation runs for Ordinary Kriging and IDW . The estimation was performe

The parameters used for the interpolation are presented in Table 14-20 to Table 14-31; the column
“Est. Met.” referes to the estimation method used, “OK” signifies Ordinary Kriging.
Milpo defined the direction of the search volumens based on the variogram anisotropy axes and the geometry of the ore bodies

The estimated model was validated using the following processes:
 Visual inspection of grades with comparison between blocks and composites;
 Global statistical comparison of the model interpolated using Ordinary Kriging versus the results obtained by as
 Local comparison between the model interpolated using Ordinary Kriging and the Nearest Neighbor resu
