growth potential, both in the short -term and long term, as well as displays our strong commitment to all our
shareholders and investors. Despite the current weak metals market, Telson continues to increase production
at Campo Morado, and at the same time steadily advances the construction of our Tahuehueto Mine with
underground development, site preparation/construction as well as infrastructure development.
We expect that 2019 will be an exciti ng year for Telson and its shareholders as we bring Tahuehueto into
production and commence generating sales of concentrates from two mines.”

Cautionary Note Regarding Production Decisions and Forward-Looking Statements
It should be noted that Telson has declared commercial production at Campo Morado prior to completing a
feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. Accordingly, readers should
be cautioned that Telson’s production decision has been made without a comprehensive feasibility study of

established reserves such that there is greater risk and uncertainty as to future economic results from the Campo
Morado mine and a higher technical risk of failure than would be the case if a feasibility study was completed
and relied upon to make a production decision. Telson has completed a preliminary economic assessment
(“PEA”) mining study on the Campo Morado mine that provides a conceptual life of mine plan and a preliminary
economic analysis based on the previously identified mineral resources (see News Release dated November 8,
2017 and April 4, 2018). This will soon be replaced by a pre-feasibility study (“PFS”) that will allow the application
of modifying factors to the mineral resources to allow a portion of them to be converted to mineral reserves. At
Tahuehueto, Telson is mining reserves supported by a pre-feasibility published early 2017.
