REGIONAL UPSIDE

10

Consolidating a major mining district

• Mining concession & superficial rights secured

• 60km mineralised belt with new veins discovered

• Geochemical results show Au/Ag presence at surface

• Mapping over the whole district to be completed in 2015

• Corina: 100% earn-in with Lara Exploration Ltd.

― 4 km vein with Au values at surface - 20 km from Selene

• Strong potential to:

― Increase resource base at Inmaculada & Pallancata

― Discover a new mine

Substantial land package in Hochschild’s Southern Peru cluster

Page 11: HOCHSCHILD MINING PLC · Hochschild Mining plc undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking ... Ramp entrance Primary crusher completed ... ―Riverside JV in

• Substantial areas of the deposit still to be explored • Continuing the extension of the Tunnel 4 vein system • New Lucero vein discovery:

― Potentially two veins with known 400m strike ― Very high Ag values (>1,000 g/t Ag)

• Pamela Sur veins: Up to 3 km of inferred strike length. Testing for continuity in 2015

PERUVIAN BROWNFIELD EXPLORATION

Largest silver development projects

Silver m oz • High correlation to gold price • Store of value

― Physical silver demand has risen by 24% in last 5 years due to strong investor interest

• Supply constraints ― Total silver supply rose 6% to 1,062m oz in 2014 ― Mine production struggling to rise (2014:+5%); grades falling ― Several projects significantly delayed

• Small market ― Annual total supply approx 15% of gold availability by value ― Majority of supply is consumed in traditional demand sources

e.g. industrial, medical, jewellery

• Varied industrial applications taking large amount of supply ― One of the best conductors of heat/electricity ― 2nd best reflector of light

• Used in majority of consumer electronics e.g. mobiles

• Widespread use in medical applications – silver is a biocide
