1 Key Environmental Issues• Water Pollution (spills, sediment loading, Acid Mine Drainage)• Soil Erosion (de-vegetation, overburden stripping)• Pollution (air, dust, noise)
2 Key Social Issues• Negative bias against mining leads to public disapproval• Conflict with local residents over fresh water use• Changes to local economy and culture due to mine employment
3 Closure Strategy• Pit: Re-sloping, clay or NPAG layer on pit floor, followed by pit flooding• Waste Rock Dump: Re-grading and capillary barrier cover• Heap Leach Facility: HLF rinse, re-grading and capillary barrier cover

• Storage: 60.65 Mm3 (Main) + 15.59 Mm3 (Aux)• Configuration: Side Hill Fill• Construction Method: Free Dumping• Footprint: 135 ha (Main) + 40 ha (Aux)• Slope Angle: 2.5H:1V• 86% Potentially Acid Generating

Key Economic Parameters
• NPV: $470 Million (After-tax, discount rate of 10%)• IRR: 32.5%• Total Capital Expenditure: $356 Million
Cash Flow Components
NPV Sensitivity3
• Enter into a tax stability agreement with the Peruvian government• Obtain local contractor estimates and quotes from suppliers• Conduct leach tests on samples of ore to determine recovery and optimal
cyanide solution concentration• Complete material characterization (PAG/NPAG, Geomechanical Data)
Results of PFS have shown the project is economically viable and operationally feasible, so we recommend advancing the project to the next stage of study.
