COBRE DEL MAYO 3

Cobre del Mayo Snapshot§ Cobre del Mayo (“CDM”, the “Company”) is a Mexican mining company that operates the Piedras Verdes open-pit copper mine (“PV Mine”) in

Sonora, Mexico that began commercial production in 2006

§ Purchased by Invecture in mid 2009

§ In 2009, CDM changed from contract mining to owner operation and purchased the former contractor’s equipment fleet

§ In 2011, CDM purchased, re-engineered and installed a crushing, screening, conveying and stacking system

§ During 2012, a flotation circuit operated by Kupari Metals S.A. (“Kupari”) with capacity of ~5,600 tons per day (“tpd”) was built and in April 2013 copper concentrate production began

§ During 2014, 40% of the common shares of Kupari were contributed by its shareholders to CDM, it accounts for its participation using the equity method

§ During 1H15, CDM built a Fines Classification System with capacity of ~6,500 tpd to process crusher fines into coarser leachable ore and finer floatable ore

§ Currently CDM produces LME Grade A copper cathode and sells refractory and vein type ore for processing into concentrate to Kupari

Piedras Verdes Advantaged Location and Access:

§ Easily accessible by air, road, rail and ports

§ Competitive transportation costs for off-takers given PV’s location and nearby infrastructure

§ Power: Connected to CFE (Federal Electricity Commission) grid to the mine owned and maintained substation with continuous capacity of 25MW

§ Water: CDM holds 7 titled water concessions for ~3.9 Mm³/yr while the requirement for the operation of the PV Mine is ~3.0 Mm³/yr

COBRE DEL MAYO 4

PV Mine Operations and Processes Diagram

§ Ore processing method is chosen according to grade, mineralization, and leaching and flotation characteristics to provide the best overall allocation using:

— Run of Mine (“ROM”) ore for leach and Crushed ore for leach and SX/EW produce copper cathode. Installed capacity of 87 tpd

— Ore for Flotation sold to Kupari: Kupari’s flotation plant current installed capacity of ~5.6 ktpd + ~1.7 ktpd of high clay slimes from the Fines Classification System

§ As of 3Q16, $325.6 M have been invested in capex since 2009 with limited sustaining capex going forward of ~$14.0 M/yr LOM1

COBRE DEL MAYO 5

Decline in Cu Prices Has Significantly Impacted CDM’s Sales

§ Since 3Q14 and through 3Q16, the average daily closing copper price has declined 31.7%

§ As of 3Q16, cathode sales declined $8 M or 26.2% to $22.4 M compared with $30.4 M of 3Q15 and sales of ore to Kupari increased $1.3 M or 98.7% during the same period

1. Pursuant to the agreement between Kupari Metals and Cobre del Mayo, the amount payable to the Company is dependent, among other variables, on the grade of the ore sold by Cobre del Mayo and on the grade of the concentrate produced by Kupari Metals.

§ PV Operations Highlights:

— Average production from 2016 to 2026 of 38.7 kt/yr (of copper cathode and copper contained in concentrate), declining gradually as mining ends in 2030 and until leach out period is completed

— LOM C1 Cash Costs for the PV Operations of $ 1.78/lb (excluding royalties)

— Sustaining LOM Capital Costs for the PV Operations of $212 M

— Unleveraged Net Present Value at 12% discount rate of $183 M for PV Operations

§ CDM Operations Highlights:

— Average copper cathode production from 2016 to 2026 of 28.5 kt/yr declining gradually throughout 2034

— Average ore for concentrate sold to Kupari from 2016 to 2026 of 2,055 kt/yr at an average grade of 0.52% TCu

— LOM C1 cash cost (including by-product credits from the sales of ore to Kupari Metals) of $1.77/lb

— Unleveraged Net Present Value at a 12% discount rate of $110 M

COBRE DEL MAYO 8

Incentive Price of Copper

§ WoodMack1 defines the Incentive Price of Cu as the minimum price required to incentivize sufficient new production to keep the market in balance (between 2020 & 2025 additional 4.6Mt/yr of Cu would be required for the physical market to be in balance)

§ Given the current economic context, mining companies now demand higher IRR’s to commit to build a project. WoodMack therefore uses 3 Incentive Price scenarios considering a range of hurdle rate risk-adjusted IRR’s on a pre-tax 100% equity basis for the additional 4.6Mt/yr

12% IRR è $3.10/lb 15% IRR è $3.30/lb 20% IRR è $3.70/lb

§ Sensitivity to changes in the demand of Cu suggest that if the supply gap is +/- 100 kt the Incentive Price varies by $0.06 - $0.09/lb

§ With the passage of time, the absence of new copper projects, and in the context of the natural decline in production as mines reach the end of their economic life, the growth of supply will be substantially less that the growth in demand even in a scenario with low industrial growth

§ Even assuming a black swan negative economic scenario, with no growth in demand for copper, the market would still be in deficit by 2023. As this occurs, we believe copper price will revert to the Incentive Price

§ We are 4.8 years into a bear market for copper

— Down cycles have never lasted longer that 7 years and are more typically 4 to 6 years

§ Current copper price is affected by decisions to develop and expand mines that were taken in a higher Cu price environment

Kupari Acquisition

§ During 4Q14, Cobre del Mayo acquired 40% of the common stock of Kupari Holdings, which owns the flotation plant adjacent to the PiedrasVerdes Mine. As a result, Cobre del Mayo now accounts for its 40% participation in Kupari Holdings by using the equity method

§ Cobre del Mayo’s participation in Kupari Holdings:

— Simplifies and optimizes ore allocation among processes

— Facilitates process improvements that involve both heap leaching and flotation

— Diversifies operational risk across two processes and products

— Provides for close cooperation to the joint development of projects and joint process optimization
