• Surface Infrastructure required for mining was purchased and
installed in 2011
• Approximately 1250m of new underground development in
2011-2012
• A permitted 10,000 tonne bulk sample was completed in April
2012
8
2012 MINING
• Currently mining the second stope on Level 1. Approximately 40,000
tonnes of mill feed as of Sept 2012.
• The Level 1, Number 1 stope underground chip sample from Lifts
1,2,3,5,7,9,11,13, and 15 had an average grade of the sample over
the mined widths of 725 g/tonne Ag, 5.24% Zn and 5.00% Pb over
an average width of 1.67 metres. (estimated 26,000 tonnes)
• The Level 1, Number 3 stope underground chip sample from Lifts 1, 3,
6, 7, and 9 had an average grade of the samples over the mined
widths of 907 g/tonne Ag, 1.73% Zn and 5.91% Pb over an average
width of 1.84 metres. (estimated 20,000 tonnes) • Note: The samples are taken on 5 metre intervals across the full width of the underground stope. The samples are for estimated mining grade purposes only. The actual grade of
the material will be determined during mill processing. The full results and tables can be viewed on the company website at www.huldrasilver.com.
• All samples were delivered by truck to Acme Analytical Laboratories’ facility in Vancouver, BC, where the sample was crushed, split and pulverized to -200 mesh. A 0.5 gram
portion of the pulp was then digested in hot aqua regia and analyzed for 31 elements by ICP MS method. Over limits for Ag were by fire assay with gravimetric finish, and for Pb,
Zn and Mn by multi-acid digestion and ICP ES finish.
• Technical information has been reviewed and approved by Mark Williams, P. Geo., a Qualified Person as defined in National Instrument 43-101.
9
MINING INFRASTRUCTURE
• A 50 man self sufficient mining camp was installed on the
property in the summer of 2011
• The current facilities include a 48 man complete bunkhouse, two
cabins, kitchen and dining facilities, office complex, first aid and
rescue buildings, a workshop, septic system, power generation,
water wells, and fuel storage.
• The Company purchased a complete set of used underground
mining equipment from a closed mine in July 2011 and has
acquired additional equipment as required.
• The electrical and ventilation systems were installed by
September 2011 to begin underground construction.
11
2012 MINING OBJECTIVES
• Mine a total of 60,000 tonnes of mill feed in addition to the
10,000 tonne bulk sample from Level 1 and 2 of the mine by the
end of 2012.
• 3 additional underground stopes will be developed on Level 1
• A 200m haulage drift will be driven on level 2 along with stope
raises
• Exploration cross cuts and extension to be added to Level 2
• Three additional underground drill stations to be installed on
Level 2
13
LEVEL ONE DEVELOPMENT
• Ralph’s picture
RESOURCE EXPANSION • 51 Diamond drill holes (5,073 metres) on the existing mine from
surface to 140m down dip in 2011 (Total depth of structure
400m).
• Drift and raise sampling along with the results from the 51
surface diamond drill holes and a planned 5600m underground
drill program will be used in producing a new NI 43-101
compliant resource estimate in Q2 2012.
15
DRILL HIGHLIGHTS
Assays from 51 diamond drill holes on the existing mine have been
received. Highlights from the results from the three holes below
intersect the vein structure outside of our current resource model.
• 7,013 grams per tonne Ag, 21.82% Pb, 19.63% Zn and 4.9% Mn over 1.37
metres in hole TM11-26 that intersected the vein structure approximately 10
metres above the Level 2 Drift.
• 592.92 grams per tonne Ag, 4.28% Pb, 2.47% Zn and 5.80% Mn over 3.11in
hole TM11-9 that intersected the vein structure below the Level 1 drift,
approximately 80 metres east of the Level 2 drift.
• 1,565 grams per tonne Ag, 13.47% Pb, 9.92% Zn and 4.76% Mn over 1.2
metres in hole TM11-36 that intersected the vein structure approximately 15
metres below the Level 2 Drift.
• Laboratory Procedures and Quality Assurance • Drill core is logged by a geologist and cut at predetermined intervals using a diamond saw. One half of the sample is archived onsite and the other half is
trucked to Acme Analytical Laboratories’ facility in Vancouver, BC, where the sample is crushed, split and pulverized to -200 mesh. A 0.5 gram portion of the
pulp is then digested in hot aqua regia and analyzed for 31 elements by ICP MS method. Over limits for silver are determined by fire assay with gravimetric
finish, and for lead, zinc and manganese by multi-acid digestion and ICP ES finish.
• Certified standard reference material (“SRM”), including core duplicates and blanks, have been inserted into each sample shipment at a frequency of
approximately one SRM per ten samples.
16
GEOPHYSICAL AND GEOCHEMICHAL
TESTING
• Soil sampling program between 2011-12 has been focused on targets
with limited historical exploration
• An airborne was conducted in 2012 with results available on the
company website at www.huldrasilver.com
• Additional programs have been added recently following the
geophysical results to increase the number of samples taken in 2012 to
1127 over 4 primary targets.
• The following map presents the anomalous results for Ag received to
date.
• The second map outlines 2012 geochemical sampling overlying the
airborne survey. (results pending)

• 1000m East and on Strike from the current
underground mine
• Follow up on a historical trenching program
• Drill program conducted in 2010
• An open pit exploration cut was partially completed
in 2011 exposing the Vein structure over 10m wide
