The Mineral Resources estimation for El Porvenir mine is based on the geological interpretation for each mineralize
The interpretation of the boundaries of mineralization incorporated the minimum Net Smelter Return (“NSR”). The
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.
