MANAGEMENT: A Strong Track Record of Delivering Results

* Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. A 5% Zn cuto� was used for December 2007 preliminary assessment; detailed engineering studies will determine the best cuto� . Quali� ed Person: David Gaunt, P.Geo., and Qingping Deng, CPG, of Behre Dolbear & Company (USA), Inc. Feb 2008.

Built a blind, green� eld discovery into the G-9 Mine in under 4 years

Raised over $275 Million in � nancing to construct the G-9 Mine without a feasibility study

Successfully made transition from an exploration play to an operating mining company while retaining 100% ownership for Farallon shareholders

Strong operations track record obtained with mill operating 20% above design capacity only one year after announcing commercial production.

Large Land Package for Further Discoveries

Exploration activity orientated towards the potential for further zinc discoveries

High grade gold zones announced with inferred resource of 225,000 tonnes of 8.6 g/t of gold
