*vs initial 2013 guidance
• Targeting value creation from discovering economic resources
• Current focus on brownfield exploration
• Exploration costs reduced by $58m*
• Early stage • Geological potential • Highly accretive • Control
• Strong current focus on core asset optimisation
• Cashflow optimisation programme: $300m+ savings delivered
• Low cost Inmaculada project almost complete
INMACULADA

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
• 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

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
