Resources / Reserves
• Resource / Reserve estimates based on UG sampling of
drifts, cross-cuts and raises along the mineralized veins – sectional / polygonal methods.
• Reconciliation and check sampling by RPA (n=403) indicates that Tecmin calculations underestimating grades by ~10%. MRDI noted that 1997 to 1998 NSR Block values realized based on then prevailing metal prices, plant recoveries, and concentrate sales terms ranged from 14 to 168% higher than values based on the reserve grades
• Mineralization remains open at depth – no drilling, no modern exploration. Further exploration can easily define additional +1Mt at above grades.
Historic only, however most recent estimates were by reputable consulting companies and 3rd parties.
Geology and Exploration History
• The Huampar property is located in the south-central portion of the Central Peruvian Polymetallic Belt and is underlain by a moderately folded, 200-metre-to-1-kilometre thick package of lower Oligocene-to-Middle Miocene, subaerial, andesitic volcanic rocks of the Calipuy formation. Underlying the volcanics is an approximately 1-km thick package of strongly folded and faulted carbonates and clastic sediments. Included in this package are the Jumasha, Chulec and Santa Formation limestones, proven host sequences throughout Peru, including Trevali’s Santander Zn-Pb-Ag mine as well as many mines within the greater Huampar district (Felicidad and Poderosa mines). On regional scale the area contains numerous styles of mineralization, including high-grade polymetallic Ag-Au vein systems (Huampar, Constancia-Coricancha, Casapalca, Morococha), polymetallic carbonate replacement and skarn deposits (Poderosa, Felicidad, Casapalca, Morococha) and copper porphyries (Toromocho).
• Landsat indicates that the property is transected by a large scale ENE trending fracture zone. All mineralization discovered to date is hosted in ENE trending structures of very significant strike length (+1km) and presumably with considerable depth potential.
• Previous exploration was limited to drifting on exposed veins and underground cross-cuts designed to test for (successfully) and intersect sub-parallel structures. No exploration in the modern sense, no geophysics, no drilling etc.
Mineralization
• Polymetallic mineralization is hosted in laterally and vertically extensive vein systems.
The principal Finlandia system is comprised of at least 5 ‘major’ veins of variable widths ranging from 0.2 to 2m and averaging approximately 0.8 to 1m thick for an aggregate distance of 5km strike. The Condor Pasa system, located some 6km S of Finlandia is traceable for 2km strike. Veins are sub-vertical to steeply dipping 70-85° to south. All veins remain open along strike and at depth.
• Similar polymetallic mines in the district contain economic mineralization over vertical intervals of 500 to 1000m.
• Typical intermediate to low-sulphidation style veins showing multiple stages of mineralization with variable sulphide mineral assemblages and gangue textures (coliform to coarse euhedral quartz). Principle minerals include coarse crystalline galena and sphalerite ± chalcopyrite and tetrahedrite. Gangue minerals are dominantly quartz ± pyrite, siderite with lesser amounts of barite, muscovite and cinnabar. Gold occurs as fine disseminations of free gold within both sulphides and quartz. Examination of assay data indicates that grades range are 0.5 to 3-5g/t Au, 15 – 410g/t Ag, 0.5 - +10% Pb-Zn and traces to 1% Cu.
• It is considered likely that thicker – higher grade intervals represent ore-shoots, however there is presently insufficient data to ascertain as to whether they are predictable or not.
Vein Assays
Suecia Vein Level 450 – 747NE 2.15m @ 0.84 g/t Au, 244g/t Ag, 9% Pb & 9.85% Zn
Finlandia Vein Level 416 – 602NE 0.16m @ 1.54g/t Au, 541g/t Ag, 9.18% Pb & 7.72% Zn
Mining
Conventional cut-and-fill (well suited to narrow vein mining due to flexibility to follow changes in strike and dip of vein) was successfully used from late 1950s to 1999/2000. It is estimated that approximately 2.5-3Mt of ore was mined during this period. From 1983 to 1991 c. 750,000t was mined (see table below). Finally monthly production for September 1999 totaled 63,000t at 1.76g/t Au, 100g/t Ag, 2.68% Pb & 3.79% Zn.
Finlandia Mine is accessed on several levels and is essentially worked out above the main haulage on 412 Level. Below 412 Level a lower level was developed via a c.70-80m deep shaft but is currently flooded. Historically dilution varied averaged approximately 20% and varied from 35-40% to 15%. The subjacent Condor Pasa Mine has enjoyed less extensive exploitation and was mined via shrinkage-stoping (lower opex but requires good to excellent ground conditions). The Finlandia system could sustain an 800 to 1000tpd operation.

Metallurgy
Historically Humpar produced three high quality (due to course nature of mineralization and limited amount of pyrite in the system) concentrates – a gravity concentrate to recover gold, a lead-silver concentrate and a zinc concentrate. Precious metals predominantly report to the Pb concentrate (paid 95%). Deleterious penalty elements report to the higher value lead concentrate (Hg, Bi, As) while the Zn concentrate is very clean (only 3% Fe). Copper was not recovered and may represent future upside.

Infrastructure
• Site – large site encompassing several valleys with sufficient room for expansion
• Camp (600-man up to 1991 then 200-man most recently) with offices / shops
• Roads – site and access roads are in poor condition and will require improvements. It is estimated that roads are suitable for 20t concentrate trucks following rehabilitation
• Power – pylons to the main-grid exist however wire is missing – 30km required. GyM just completed construction of hydro-electric plant subjacent to Huampar – this would significantly de-risk the project
• Plant – the current 350-400tpd plant is in workable condition, however major rebuild / over-haul would be required to expand to 800-1000tpd
• Tailings – the current tailings is not to code – a new tailings impoundment is required. Substantial basic engineering study by Kilborn – SVS has located several suitable sites with sufficient capacity to store 17-years production base on 800tpd operation
• Initial CAPEX would be relatively modest on the order of $10-15M to commence operations at 800-1000tpd.
Exploration Potential
Exploration potential is considered very good – all veins remain open at depth and predominantly along strike. Near-term upside includes depth extensions of all the major veins and structural targeting of thicker, high-grade ore-shoots in particular the Finlandia and Suecia veins as well as the Condor Pasa mine to the South.
Potentially every 100m vertical depth extension assuming a 2km vein strike and average vein width of 0.8m (Finlandia system = 5km) would add approximately ~500,000t of reserves or ~2-years of production for a 800tpd operation. Even if we assume depth potential as 25% of strike length this would suggest over 1,000m additional depth potential on the main Finlandia system.
Exploration Potential
Based on this initial very cursory examination the following first-pass low-risk targets present:
Nuruega Structure: Located immediately adjacent to Finlandia Alta and has seen limited underground exploration from the 2nd level. If geometry is similar to Finlandia and there is no reason presently to suggest that it is not then the upside between the main haulage at 412 level and upper 428 level is approximately +1 to 1.5Mt.
Finlandia – Colqui Mine extension. The former producing Colqui Mine (1972 production of 72,000t at 1.4g/t Au, 530g/t Ag, 5.5% Pb, 3.8% Zn and 0.2% Cu occurs 1200m along strike extension of the Finlandia – Suecia structure.
Colqui Mine – structure terminates to SW in a major fault zone which is currently interpreted to dip c. 50º to the S. Down-thrown extensions?
District-wise (c. 20km radius) to the immediate N, the W, S and E the exploration potential increases significantly– there are numerous Ag-rich prospects that could make attractive small high-grade satellite orebodies. Using a similar analogy to Santander which ever Co. builds and controls the infrastructure controls the District.
A logical exploration program would be rehabilitation of 300m section of principal 412 Level and construction of a new 80m cross-cut from which if required a series of short UG holes can be drilled to confirm vein(s) continuity to very modest depths (100m below current workings).

Lower Detour 7.5% NPI
Prism has a 7.5% NPI on the Lower Detour area where Detour Gold is currently exploring a high grade gold resource amenable to open cut and underground mining
Detour Gold has been actively exploring the Lower Detour Area which is located approximately 6 kilometres from its flagship Detour Lake gold mine. A system hosting two important gold mineralized zones was identified, Zone 58N and 75. Since 2013 a total of 112,879 metres was completed in 297 diamond drill holes (DGC news releases). The main target is Zone 58N which totalled 210 holes. The gold mineralized system (Zone 58N and 75) has been intersected over an east-west strike length of 450 metres, from surface to a depth of 800 metres. The mineralized system remains open at depth.
Zone 58 N – 2016 Significant Intercepts (uncut gold assay reported) 35.19 g/t over 5.2 m (DLD-16-190) 26.38 g/t over 13.0 m, including 79.40 g/t over 4.0 m (DLD-16-205) 26.97 g/t over 8.0 m (DLD-16-233A) 10.23 g/t over 22.0 m, including 18.91 g/t over 6.0 m (DLD-16-245) 14.75 g/t over 22.0 m, including 34.21 g/t over 9.0 m (DLD-16-248) 30.79 g/t over 10.0 m, including 75.60 g/t over 4.0 m (DLD-16-250) 15.46 g/t over 13.0 m (DLD-16-270) 18.93 g/t over 13.0 m, including 57.58 g/t over 4.0 m (DLD-16-273) 34.98 g/t over 23.2 m, including 95.58 g/t over 8.0 m (DLD-16-277) 21.95 g/t over 9.0 m (DLD-16-278A)
The surface and underground infrastructure scoping work has started for the development of an underground exploration program. The design, timeline and cost estimate are expected to be completed in the fourth quarter. Metallurgical testing at this time indicates that the mineralized material from Zone 58N is compatible with the current Detour Lake Plant flowsheet. (DGC, News Release July 28, 2016)
