About Vizcachitas

The Vizcachitas Project offers potential for a low strip, open pit operation in
an area of low elevation with excellent infrastructure, including water and
power in central Chile. The Vizcachitas deposit occurs in the same metallogenic
belt as the giant copper-molybdenum porphyries Rio Blanco-Los Bronces, Los
Pelambres and El Teniente. Based on 35,255 metres of drilling in 130 diamond
drill holes, the project contains an indicated resource of 515 million tonnes
grading 0.39% copper and 0.011% molybdenum and an inferred resource of 572
million tonnes grading 0.34% copper and 0.012% molybdenum at a 0.30% copper
equivalent cutoff. Additional information about the Vizcachitas Project is
available in the National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report prepared by AMEC
and filed by the Company on SEDAR on August 29 2008, and on our website at
