KEY POINTS

  • Total recordable injury frequency (TRIF) of 1.25 per million hours worked for the third quarter in 2019.
  • Total copper production of 115,864 tonnes and total zinc production of 68,628 tonnes was 14% and 21% higher respectively than the prior quarter, with improved operational performance across all sites.
  • Dugald River delivered a record production quarter, while Las Bambas, Kinsevere and Dugald River all delivered record quarterly mill throughput rates.
  • Road access to Las Bambas has been disrupted by a series of road blocks in sections of the road between 50 and 250 kilometres from Las Bambas, in the province of Chumbivilicas, Cusco, since 22 September. Dialogue continues with community leaders and government to seek a resolution. Mining and production have been progressively impacted from late last week. On 15 October the Government of Peru declared a State of Emergency for a section of the road and authorities have now commenced actions to clear the road.

MMG Third Quarter Production Report 2019

  • Assuming unrestricted road access is restored within the next few days, Las Bambas production for 2019 is expected to be marginally below the guidance range of 385,000 to 405,000 tonnes, with C1 costs at the higher end of the US$1.15 to US$1.25/lb range.
  • More targeted exploration focus around existing operating hubs continues to demonstrate good early success.
  • Las Bambas drilling continues to define mineralisation at the Chalcobamba Southwest Zone. This is within 300 metres of the current Chalcobamba ore reserve pit and should drive expansion of the Chalcobamba pit design. Highlights include 108.0m @ 1.00% Cu in drillhole CHS19-045, from 39.0m downhole and 175.1m @ 0.54% Cu, and 453ppm Mo, in drillhole CHS19-041, From 0.9m downhole.

Copper and zinc prices softened further during the third quarter as market sentiment was dominated by geo-political events such as the continuing US-China trade dispute and uncertainty over Brexit. US dollar strength also weighed on metal prices. As is typical in in times of macroeconomic uncertainty, precious metals prices were firmer.

Although softening global economic conditions are leading to lower growth in copper consumption in the near term, mine supply is also constrained due to lower output at some operations and limited new projects to fill the supply gap. Notwithstanding the above, copper smelter capacity and production in China continues to expand, adding to demand for imported copper concentrate which is up 11% in the year to August and is expected to reach another annual record this year. The strong demand for concentrate and flat mine production ensured that treatment and refining charges remained well below annual benchmark levels throughout the quarter.

Chinese zinc smelter production continued to expand during the quarter. In contrast, global refined zinc consumption is likely to contract this year. Despite this inventory build, the global zinc market remains in deficit. Total stocks on the LME and SHFE were at the equivalent of only 4 days' global consumption during the quarter. Despite the rise in Chinese zinc smelter production, the concentrate market remained comfortably supplied during the quarter with an increase in mine supply as new projects, including Dugald River, ramp up during 2019.

Las Bambas produced 96,990 tonnes of copper in copper concentrate in the third quarter of 2019, 15% above the prior period and 12% higher than the third quarter 2018. The increase is attributable to uninterrupted operations for most of the quarter compared to second quarter 2019 and improved operational performance across the mine and the mill.

Mining performance was underpinned by recent investments in new mine fleet and higher utilisation across the fleet. These improvements will continue to support higher mining and development rates as we continue to open up the mine in the coming periods.

Record quarterly mill throughput was driven by a series of operational improvements throughout the grinding circuit. Recovery rates also increased due to more effective management of oxides and favourable ore characteristics.

Molybdenum production was 17% lower than the prior quarter due primarily to lower grades.

Background and update on Las Bambas social challenges

Las Bambas operations interact with 3 regions, 4 provinces, 14 districts and with more than 70 communities (17 communities within its direct area of influence and approximately 53 communities along the 450km road to the rail transfer station). The mine is located in Apurímac, previously recognised as Peru's least developed region and now it's fastest growing. Apurímac leads regional growth with an average growth rate of 30.3% in the years 2012 - 2017 (Peru: 2.7% on average).

While Las Bambas maintains a positive relationship with most communities, the operation continues to face increasing road blocks with demands for the negotiation of benefit agreements, road compensation and inclusion within the statutory area of direct influence for the Las Bambas operation. Additionally, In August 2019 regional protests against the Tia Maria project in Peru restricted traffic in and out of the Matarani Port for 17 days. This affected Las Bambas logistics as well as that of other producers in the region.

Since 22 September, road access to Las Bambas has been disrupted by a series of road blocks in sections of the road between 50 and 250 kilometres from Las Bambas, in the province of Chumbivilicas, Cusco. The community demands include the repeal of the categorisation of a national road, road use compensation, new benefit agreements and inclusion in the area of direct influence.

MMG Third Quarter Production Report 2019

Mining and production have been progressively impacted from late last week. On 15 October and following a series of attempts to establish dialogue, the Government of Peru declared a State of Emergency along a section of the logistics road, which has now allowed the Peruvian authorities to commence actions to clear the road.

Las Bambas' approach to social management is based on building strong, trusting, relationships. The Las Bambas social team is located in the communities along the transport corridor. Since 2010, Las Bambas has invested more than US$360 million in social development programs, including schools, communal buildings, health centres and the promotion of new businesses. This is in addition to this 3% of all revenues which are paid as royalties and are distributed to the various local governments of the districts of Apurimac. Since commencing commercial production Las Bambas has paid more than US$250 million in royalties and invested more than US$200 million in improving the national road used for its logistics. Logistics operations are undertaken under strict control and with high standards including significant actions to mitigate impacts and a continuous monitoring program. Mitigation actions include dust suppression using more than 50 community operated water trucks along the road.

Las Bambas is committed to continuing to work with government and the local communities to establish sustainable solutions to these persistent issues.

Las Bambas Outlook

Assuming that unrestricted road access is restored in the coming days and the roads remain clear for the transit of vehicles, production of copper for 2019 is now expected to be marginally below the 385,000-405,000 tonnes guidance range, with C1 costs towards the upper end of the US$1.15 to US$1.25/lb range.

As the road blockages have prevented concentrates being transported from the mine to the port, some shipments to customers have been delayed. Current stockpiles of contained copper on site have increased to around 65,000 tonnes, which will now be progressively drawn down and shipped over the remainder of this year and the first quarter of 2020.

Development works at Las Bambas to extend the current production profile over the medium term are progressing with the installation of the third ball mill and drilling, permitting and engineering works for the Chalcobamba project continuing during the quarter. Whilst this project has experienced some permitting delays to date, good progress continues to be made. Las Bambas is continuing to work with authorities and communities to mitigate the impact of these delays and avoid any further delays.

Following the maiden Chalcobamba drilling update provided last quarter, further drilling continues to define mineralisation at the Chalcobamba Southwest Zone. It is anticipated that further drilling will demonstrate that the Chalcobamba Southwest Zone is continuous with the main Chalcobamba mineralisation and should drive expansion of the Chalcobamba pit design. Detailed results of the drilling activities are included in the Geoscience and Discovery section below.

The successful ramp up of Dugald River continued, with a record production quarter of 47,296 tonnes of zinc in zinc concentrate, 32% above the previous quarter. Higher production was attributable to higher mining, higher throughput, improved recoveries and higher ore grades.

Mine development works continued to open a higher average number of operating stopes, resulting in a 9% uplift in mined ore compared with the second quarter. Successful de-bottlenecking projects combined with improved mine production has enabled mill throughput to be sustained above design capacity for the sixth consecutive quarter. Mine

development works will continue to be a major focus for the remainder of 2019 and 2020 to ensure stable feed to the mill with all pre-commissioning ore stockpiles now depleted.

Dugald River also produced 5,750 tonnes of lead concentrate, up 3% from the previous quarter.

Consistent with previous guidance, 2019 production for Dugald River expected to be between 165,000-175,000 tonnes of zinc in zinc concentrate, with C1 costs between US$0.70 and US$0.75/lb.

Kinsevere produced 18,495 tonnes of copper cathode in the third quarter, a 12% increase on the previous quarter driven by record mill throughput and improved mining performance.

Ore mined increased 12% as mining of the Mashi pit was completed and material movement in the Central pit was ahead of plan. As a result of this transition, average mined ore grades were 2.5% compared to 2.0% in the prior quarter. The record mill throughput was achieved due to higher mill utilisation (93% vs. 91.6% in the prior quarter), improved plant process stability, more favourable ore characteristics and better management of third-party ore feed.

Consistent with previous guidance, copper cathode production is expected to be between 65,000-70,000 tonnes and C1 costs within the range of US$2.15-US$2.25/lb.

Kinsevere's oxide Ore Reserves (as at 30 June 2018) represent a life of mine for oxide operations ending in approximately 2023. MMG has been working on developing the full potential of the Kinsevere mine through significant investment in resource extension drilling, particularly on tenements held inside a 50-kilometre radius of the Kinsevere mine, as well as evaluating options for mining and processing of sulphide ores present on the Kinsevere lease. Further detail on some of the early success of this exploration program is provided in the Geoscience and Discovery section below. In late 2017 MMG commenced the Kinsevere Expansion Project study. This study is currently evaluating the engineering options for the addition of a sulphide ore and a cobalt processing circuit alongside the existing oxide circuit.

Rosebery produced 21,332 tonnes of zinc in zinc concentrate during the third quarter, broadly in-line with the previous quarter.

The strong and consistent performance is being supported by recent investment in new mobile fleet which is leading to increased productivity and significantly improved equipment availability, which works to offset the impacts of mining at greater depth and smaller average tonnage stopes. Increased development in the mine has resulted in access to high grade areas and stopes. Mining in this area will continue for the remainder of this year and early 2020. Focus continues toward improving zinc recoveries and production levels.

MMG Third Quarter Production Report 2019

On 3 October a +2.1ML seismic event was recorded in the W-Lens section of the operation. The event has restricted access to one of the active operating areas in the short-term, with the site currently expediting alternate stopes to meet production goals for the remainder of 2019.

Consistent with previous guidance, C1 costs are estimated to be between US$0.25-US$0.35/lb, however, due to the seismic event, zinc production is now expected to be at the lower end of the 85,000 - 95,000 tonne range for 2019.

GEOSCIENCE AND DISCOVERY

Drilling activities were carried out at the Las Bambas operation in Peru, along with discovery and delineation of satellite

copper oxide deposits within a roughly 50km radius ("RAD50") of the Kinsevere mine.

The Company's activities during the quarter have focussed on:

  • Las Bambas - development drilling of the Chalcobamba pit has continued to focus on identified mineralisation adjacent to existing deposit
  • DRC - Resource delineation drilling at the Mwepu, Nambulwa and Sokoroshe II deposits.

Las Bambas

Drilling continues to define both the controls and extent of the previously described, near-surface skarn and porphyry copper mineralisation at the Chalcobamba Southwest Zone (Figure 1).

The Chalcobamba Southwest Zone mineralization is located immediately to the southwest of the current Chalcobamba Ore Reserve pit, (Figure 2). Mineralization is open to the E and SE with the extent of the prospective area to the NW and SW being defined with recent drilling. The higher-grade, skarn mineralization (>1%) is controlled by favourable stratigraphy that strikes NNW and dips moderately to the SW. Drill intercepts located on the E and SE side of the prospect are dominated by porphyry style mineralization whereas the higher-grade skarn mineralization dominates but is not limited to the west.

Highlights include:

Hole CHS19-045 108.0m @ 1.00% Cu from 39.0m

Hole CHS19-040 15.55m @ 1.02% Cu, from 26.75m and 61.2m @ 1.26% Cu, from 55.8m Hole CHS19-041 175.1m @ 0.54% Cu and 453ppm Mo, from 0.9m

Hole CHS19-043 198.5m @ 0.42% Cu and 326ppm Mo, from 0.0m downhole and 150.8m @ 0.28% Cu and 195ppm Mo, from 275.2m

Hole CHS19-036 44.0m @ 0.98% Cu, from 210.0m and 21.6m @ 1.29% Cu, from 264.4m

All reported intercepts are downhole.

These holes were drilled as part of a drilling program for hydrogeological, geotechnical and sterilisation purposes that intersected mineralisation. Drilling will continue from the permitted platforms until new drilling locations are permitted. A summary of all drilling results to date from this program is provided in Table 2 and drillhole collars are shown in Figure 2.

DRC Exploration Update

Exploration activities in the DRC have focussed primarily on the discovery and delineation of satellite copper oxide deposits within a roughly 50km radius ("RAD50"), that may be suitable for economic exploitation at the Kinsevere mine. During the quarter, resource delineation drilling was spread across three different projects viz. Mwepu (PE1052), Nambulwa (PE539), and Sokoroshe II (PE538) (Figure 5).

Mwepu

The majority of the drilling was focussed on the Mwepu copper oxide prospect where 7,159m of diamond drilling and 5,590m of RC drilling were completed for the quarter. An additional 617m of RC drilling was completed this quarter at Maga South, a scout drilling target some 10km south of Mwepu.

Nambulwa

At the Nambulwa deposit, a 1200m long, up to 40m wide zone of semi-continuous copper oxide mineralization was reported last quarter. During the third quarter, 20 infill RC drill holes totalling 1,634m were completed to improve model confidence in the lead up to the estimation of a classified mineral resource.

Sokoroshe II

First pass exploration activities started at Sokoroshe II in May 2014 comprising geological mapping, surface geochemistry, and an airborne geophysical survey (magnetics, radiometrics, and EM), culminating with the first significant scout drilling intercept during 2015. Resource extension drilling in 2016 subsequently delineated a mineralised zone with dimensions of up to 650m along strike, 180m down dip and 30m thick. During the first half of 2019, resource infill drilling comprising 489m of diamond drilling and 2,946m RC drilling was completed in order to improve model confidence. Continued infill and limited extension drilling this quarter totalled 984m of diamond drilling and 619m of RC drilling.

CORPORATE UPDATE

APPOINTMENT OF KEY EXECUTIVE

On 21 August 2019, the Company announced the appointment of Mr Jianxian Wei as Executive General Manager (EGM) Operations - Americas and a member of the Executive Committee of the Company. It was noted that Mr Suresh Vadnagra will continue in the role of EGM Operations - Americas and, after a handover period to Mr Wei, he will return to Australia.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

MMG reported its interim financial results on 21 August 2019 for the period ended 30 June 2019, including production results of 215,527 tonnes of copper and 114,080 tonnes of zinc across all operations. The Company reported a net loss after tax of US$73.0 million during the first six months of 2019, including a loss of US$81.0 million attributable to equity holders. This is primarily attributable to lower commodity prices and lower sales volumes following the community-related disruptions at Las Bambas in the first half of 2019. Net debt increased by US$98.8 million, with lower operating cash flow due to the inventory build-up at Las Bambas and Dugald River at 30 June 2019.

Commentary

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Sampling techniques

Diamond drilling (DD) was used to obtain an average 2m sample that is half core split, crushed and pulverised to produce

a pulp (95% passing 105µm). Diamond core is selected, marked and numbered for sampling by the logging geologist.

Sample details are stored in a Geobank database for correlation with returned geochemical assay results.

Samples for analysis are bagged, shuffled, re-numbered and de-identified prior to dispatch.

Core samples were cut and sampled at an ALS sample preparation laboratory on-site. Samples are then sent to ALS Lima

for preparation and analysis.

There are no inherent sampling problems recognised.

Measures taken to ensure sample representivity include the collection, and analysis of coarse crush duplicates.

Drilling techniques

The drilling type is wireline diamond core drilling from surface. Drill core is not oriented.

Drill sample recovery

Recovery is estimated by measuring the recovered core within a drill run length and recorded in the Geobank database.

Run by run recovery has been recorded for all 6,226.20 m drilled to date at Chalcobamba Southwest with a recovery of

98.9%. Of diamond drilling in the data used for Mineral Resources estimation for the Sulfobamba, Chalcobamba and

Ferrobamba deposits. Diamond drill recovery average is about 97% for all deposits (98% for Sulfobamba, 97% for

Chalcobamba and Ferrobamba deposits).

The drilling process is controlled by the drill crew and geological supervision provides a means for maximising sample

recovery and ensures suitable core presentation. No other measures are taken to maximise core recovery.

There is no detectable correlation between recovery and grade which can be determined from graphical and statistical

analysis. Preferential loss/gains of fine or coarse materials are not significant and do not result in sample bias as the

nature of mineralisation is stock-work veins and disseminated sulphides. Diamond core sampling is applied, and recovery

is considered high.

Logging

100% of diamond drill core has been geologically and geotechnically logged.

Geological logging is qualitative and geotechnical logging is quantitative. All drill core is photographed.

Sub-sampling

All samples are from diamond drill core. Drill core is longitudinally sawn to provide half-core samples within intervals

techniques and

directed by the logging geologist. The remaining half-core is kept and stored in the original sample tray. The standard

sample preparation

sampling length is 2m for PQ core (minimum 1.2m) and HQ core (minimum 1.2m, maximum 2.2m) while NQ core is

sampled at 2.5m (minimum 1.5m). Sample intervals do not cross geological boundaries.

Geological samples have been processed in the following manner: Dried, crushed, pulverised to 95% passing 105µm.

Sizing analyses are carried out on one in 10-15 samples.

Representivity of samples is checked by duplication at the crush stage in one in every 40 samples. No field duplicates are

taken.

12-month rolling Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QAQC) analysis of sample preparation techniques indicate the

process is appropriate for Las Bambas samples.

Assessment Criteria

Commentary

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

The sample types, nature, quality and sample preparation techniques are considered appropriate for the style of the Las

Bambas mineralisation (porphyry and skarn Cu-Mo mineralisation) by the Competent Person.

Quality of assay data Routine assay methods undertaken by ALS (Lima) for Las Bambas are as follows: and laboratory tests

  • Cu, Ag, Pb, Zn, Mo - 0.5g of sample. Digestion by 4-Acids. Reading by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS).
  • Acid soluble copper - 0.5g sample. Leaching by a 5% solution of H2SO4 at ambient temperature for 1 hour. Reading by AAS.
  • Au - Fire assay with AAS Finish. Over-range results are re-assayed by Gravimetric Finish.
  • 35 elements - Digestion by aqua-regia and reading by ICP.
  • All the above methods with the exception of the acid soluble copper are considered total digest.

No geophysical tools, spectrometers or handheld XRF instruments have been used in the analysis of samples external to the ALS laboratory for the estimation of Mineral Resources.

For the 2018 and 2019 programmes, duplicated samples were collected at the time of sampling and securely stored. Samples for the 2018 were then sent to the Inspectorate Laboratory, Lima, for third party (umpire) analysis. The 2019 samples are in process. The samples were selected at a rate of 1:40. Results received indicate a good correlation between datasets and show no bias for copper, molybdenum, silver and gold.

ALS release monthly QAQC data to Las Bambas for analysis of internal laboratory standard performance. The performance of the laboratory internal standards is within acceptable limits.

Las Bambas routinely insert:

  • Primary coarse duplicates: Inserted at a rate of 1:40 samples.
  • Coarse blank samples: Inserted after a high-grade sample (coarse blank samples currently make up about 4.2% of all samples analysed).
  • Pulp duplicates samples: Inserted 1:40 samples.
  • Pulp blank samples are inserted before the coarse blank sample and always after a high-grade sample (pulp blank samples currently make up about 4.2% of all samples analysed).

QAQC analysis has shown that for:

Blanks: a minimum level of sample contamination by copper was detected during the sample preparation and

assay.

Duplicates: the analytical precision is within acceptable ranges when compared to the original sample, i.e.,

more than 90% of the pairs of samples are within the error limits evaluated for a maximum relative error of

10% (R2>0.90). These results were also repeated in the external ALS check samples.

Certified Reference Material: acceptable levels of accuracy and precision have been established.

Sizing test results are not routinely analysed.

Verification of

Verification by independent personnel was not undertaken at the time of drilling. However, drilling, core logging and

sampling and

sampling data is entered by geologists; assay results are entered by the resource geologist after data is checked for

assaying

outliers, sample swaps, performance of duplicates, blanks and standards, and significant intersections are checked against

core log entries and core photos. Errors are rectified before data is entered into the database.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

No twinned drillholes have been completed.

All drillholes are logged using laptop computers directly into the drillhole database (Geobank). All laboratory primary

data and certificates are stored on the Las Bambas server.

The database has internal validation processes which prevent invalid or unapproved records from being stored.

Additional manual data validation occurs in Vulcan software before data is used.

No adjustments have been made to assay data.

Location of data

Drillholes are set out using UTM co-ordinates with a hand held Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) and are

points

accurate to within 1m. On completion of drilling, collar locations are picked up by the onsite surveyors using DGPS

(Trimble or Topcon). These collar locations are accurate to within 0.5m.

All drillholes are surveyed using Reflex Gyro Sprint equipment. Measurements are taken every 25 to 50 meters during

drilling itself and the entire hole is surveyed with continuous readings/measurements once the hole has been completed.

The downhole surveys are considered accurate for Mineral Resources estimation work.

The datum used is WGS 84 with a UTM coordinate system zone 19 South.

In June 2018, DIMAP Pty. Ltd processed LiDAR for the area covered by Las Bambas mine site and its surroundings. The

Lidar component of the flight was required to generate a point cloud with +7 pts/sqm minimum, with the core area

covering the exploration site having a density of +12 pts/sqm. The maps delivered were drafted in UTM coordinates and

the projections used were WGS 84. The Lidar surface from this survey is in current use at site and is considered suitable

for Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves estimation purposes.

Data spacing and

The scope of this report covers exploration stage drilling at Chalcobamba Southwest. Drill platforms are variably spaced

distribution

though they are generally about 200m apart. Occasionally, platforms are separated by 100m or less. Multiple, angle

holes may be drilled from a single platform and result in an average data spacing of less than 200m.

Sample security

Measures to provide sample security include:

Adequately trained and supervised sampling personnel.

Samples are stored in a locked compound with restricted access during preparation.

Dispatch to various laboratories via contract transport provider in sealed containers.

Receipt of samples acknowledged by receiving analytical laboratory by email and checked against expected submission

list.

Assay data returned separately in both spreadsheet and PDF formats.

Audit and reviews

No audits on these drilling results have been completed.

Regular laboratory inspections are completed and documented by corporate exploration staff.

Geology

Las Bambas is located in a belt of Cu (Mo-Au) skarn deposits associated with porphyry type systems situated in south-eastern

Peru. This metallogenic belt is controlled by the Andahuaylas-Yauri Batholith of Eocene- Oligocene age, which is emplaced in

Mesozoic sedimentary units, with the Ferrobamba Formation (Lower to Upper Cretaceous) being of greatest mineralising

importance.

The porphyry style mineralisation occurs in quartz-monzonite to granodiorite rocks. Hypogene copper sulphides are the main copper bearing minerals with minor occurrence of supergene copper oxides and carbonates near surface. The intrusive rocks of the batholith in contact with the Ferrobamba limestones gave rise to contact metamorphism and, in certain locations, skarn bodies with Cu (Mo-Au) mineralisation.

Data aggregation

Downhole sample intervals were aggregated for reporting purposes using a compositing tool in Vulcan mining software. The

methods

tool searches for intervals above a cut-off grade (0.2% Cu in this case) and combines them to achieve a minimum thickness of

20m. 20m downhole in an angled drillhole approximates the vertical bench height of 15m currently in use at Las Bambas.

No metal equivalents were used for intersection reporting.

Database integrity

The following measures are in place to ensure database integrity:

All Las Bambas drillhole data is stored in an SQL database (Geobank) on the Las Bambas site server, which is

regularly backed-up.

The entire database was migrated from acQuire to Geobank in 2019

Geological logging is entered directly into laptop computers which are uploaded to the database. Prior to

November 2014, diamond drillholes were logged on paper logging forms and transcribed into the database. From

November 2015 logging was entered directly into a customised interface using portable tablet computers.

Assays are loaded directly into the database from digital files provided from the assay laboratory.

The measures described above ensure that transcription or data entry errors are minimised.

Data validation procedures include:

A database validation project was undertaken in early 2015 checking 5% of the assayed samples in the database

against original laboratory certificates. No material issues were identified.

The database has internal validation processes which prevent invalid or unapproved records to be stored.

Site visits

The Competent Person has undertaken numerous site visits to Las Bambas since acquisition. In the view of the Competent

Person there are no material risks to the Mineral Resources based on observations of site practices.

Several site visits to the Ferrobamba area and the Chalcobamba area have been conducted but due to local community

restrictions, the Competent Person has been unable to visit Sulfobamba to date.

Geological

Initial resource definition drilling at the Chalcobamba Southwest Zone continues with associated geological sectional

Significant drill intercepts > 1.0% Cu are associated with limestone-hosted skarn alteration; whereas lower grade

assumptions

Geochemical characterisation undertaken in 2007, 2009 and 2017 indicate most of the waste rock from Ferrobamba and

Chalcobamba deposits to be Non-Acid Forming (NAF) and that no acid rock drainage from the waste rock dumps from these

two pits should be expected. Waste rock samples from Sulfobamba were found to contain higher concentrations of sulphur

and that 30% to 40% of waste rock could be Potentially Acid Forming (PAF). Suitable controls will be implemented for all PAF

waste rock, including investigating opportunities for backfill into pit voids. It is expected that there will be no material

difference in the character of material from this area to Chalcobamba overall. Additional geochemical characterisation work is

required.

Tailings generated from processing of Ferrobamba and Chalcobamba were determined to be NAF. Geochemical

characterisation of tailings generated from processing of Sulfobamba ores is currently under assessment, however for

environmental assessment purposes it was assumed to have PAF behaviour. Current Life of Asset schedules have Ferrobamba

tailings processing scheduled for several years after Sulfobamba tailings are processed. A closure plan was submitted and

approved by the regulator in 2016 and describes the encapsulation method for Sulfobamba tailings.

Based on the current TSF design and the design assumptions for dry settled density and beach angle, the TSF at Las Bambas

has a final capacity of 784Mt of tailings from processing 800Mt. Three studies have been conducted looking at increasing

tailings storage capacity at Las Bambas:

Tailings characterisation test work to assess final settled density and beach slope in current TSF.

Options assessment to increase capacity at TSF currently under construction.

Pre-feasibility study for an additional TSF.

Bulk density

Bulk density is determined using the Archimedes' principle (weight in air and weight in water method). Samples of 20cm in

length are measured at a frequency of approximately one per core tray and based on geological domains. The density

measurements are considered representative of each lithology domain.

Bulk density measurement occurs at the external, independent assay laboratory. The core is air dried and whole core is wax

coated prior to bulk density determination to ensure that void spaces are accounted for.

Density values in the Mineral Resources models are estimated using Ordinary Kriging within the lithology domain shapes. Un-

estimated blocks were assigned a density value based on an expected value of un-mineralised rock within each geological

domain.
