A Values-Based and Value-Focused Company
WE ARE SUCCESSFUL WHEN:Our employees live and work safely and experience the personal satisfaction that comes with high performance and recognition
The communities in which we operate value our presence
Our environmental impact is minimized and causes no permanent harm
We have a large, diversified set of customers who are delighted with and compete for our products
Our shareholders realize a superior total return on their investment and support our corporate values
Our values are visibly demonstrated by strong local management, at the point of impact with our stakeholders, and coordinated across the Company for maximum effect
Designed for Value: A Proven Strategy
4
1. Acquire producing or near-term, cash-flowing mines at a discount to value we will create• Remedy history of underinvestment in sustaining capital that limits current performance
(e.g. underground development, stripping, maintenance)• Introduce major improvements in mining methods• Modernize plant and operating practices to increase throughput & recovery• Institute operating cost reductions and productivity improvements• Leverage commercial savvy and direct smelter relationships to improve treatment costs• Identify and develop unrecognized or underinvested exploration potential to support
expanded production and/or mine life extension2. Reinvest near-term, growing cash flow to fund turnaround plan3. Return cash to shareholders wherever possible4. Repeat5. Divest mature, optimized mines to parties who can create more value than we see
Mandalay acquires undervalued mines in accretive transactions; turns them around to crystallize increased value in the market; returns cash to shareholders
Mandalay has acquired three mines at discount and turned around all three inseven years; looking for more
5
Organized to Deliver Maximum Shareholder ValueAcquire only when we see possibility of an accretive transaction with strong value uplift in 3-5 years
Target cash cost of production: 50% of ‘reversion to mean’ metal price
100% ownership; no private royalties, no streams
Flat, virtual, low-cost organizational structure; local GM accountability
Direct relationships and sales contracts with customers
Return cash to shareholders when possible
No hedging of metal prices
Stingy with equity
Reasonably levered

Costerfield keys to turnaround:Record High Rate Record Low Cost
Improved mine output/mill throughput from 170 tpd to 450 tpd (capped by grid power and site grinding capacity)
Changed mining method from cut-and-fill to blast-hole stoping with cemented rock fill (greater production, lower unit costs)
Increased sub-level spacing from 5 to 10 m
Introduced contract capital development for faster and lower cost results
Replaced mechanized mining fleet
Introduced mobile crusher to decrease particle size of mill feed (better recoveries, higher throughput)
Grew mine life from zero reserves to roughly 4 years while mining continuously for 7 years – discovered Cuffley and N-lode

Focus on exploration to add value to restart scenarios
Most of existing reserves under Laguna Verde
Marcela and Raul veins in the old Cerro Bayo sector
New interest in Mesetaand “Sinter” Hill areas due to positive drill results announced by Equus to south of National Park
Cerro Bayo: Prospective Targets at Meseta-Sinter Hill
26
“Sinter” Hill -- silicified and brecciated volcanics with abundant, coarse barite
• Possible zone of significant fluid upflow–“steam heated”
• Potential for Au mineralization below
Meseta veins– typical CB-style qtz-adularia-Ag-Au>Base Metal veins
Equus reports Ag-Base metal veins with intermediate argillic alteration some 5 km south
