Notes:
1AgEq ounces produced were calculated based on all metals produced using the
average sales prices of each metal for each month during the period. Revenues from
concentrate sales does not consider metallurgical recoveries in the calculations as
the metal recoveries are built into the sales amounts. In Q2 2024, AgEq was
calculated using metal prices of U.S. $28.92 per oz Ag, U.S. $2,337 per oz Au,
U.S. $0.98 per lb of Pb and US$1.29 per lb of Zn.

Cautionary Note regarding Production without Mineral Reserves
The decision to commence production at the Nueva Recuperada Project and the
Company's ongoing mining operations as referenced herein (the "Production
Decision and Operations") are based on economic models prepared by the
Company in conjunction with management's knowledge of the property and the
existing estimate of mineral resources on the property. The Production Decision and
Operations are not based on a preliminary economic assessment, a pre-feasibility
study or a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical
viability. Accordingly, there is increased uncertainty and economic and technical risks
of failure associated with the Production Decision and Operations, in particular: the
risk that mineral grades will be lower than expected; the risk that additional
construction or ongoing mining operations are more difficult or more expensive than
expected; and production and economic variables may vary considerably, due to the
absence of a detailed economic and technical analysis in accordance with NI 43-101.
