Cautionary Note To U.S. Investors Concerning Estimates Of Measured, Indicated And Inferred Resources
This presentation uses the terms “Measured”, “Indicated” and Inferred” Resources. U.S. investors are advised that while such terms are
recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. “Inferred
Resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It
cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules,
estimates of Inferred Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. U.S. investors are cautioned not to
assume that all or any part of Measured or Indicated Resources will ever be converted into reserves. U.S. investors are also cautioned
not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.

17. ADOPT NEW INFORMATION TOOL “ENTERPRISE BLOG” IN OPERATION
Improvement in the head grades of metals can be attributed in part to an internal
“Enterprise Blog” (EB) system in the management of Mine Production and Safety
Information.
“EB” system is an internet social media system that makes the collection, distribution and
flow of the work related knowledge and information easy and transparent for parties at
different locations.
▸ Each of the mining stopes, development faces, or equipment is assigned a “blog” name.
▸ Daily onsite inspection results of different workplaces listed in “check list tables” contain
structured data with supporting photos which are “posted” on different “blogs”.
▸ Different levels of the management team can access to the daily “blogs” for each
workplace instantly once posted.
▸ Records of a management person’s access to the “blogs” will make related parties
accountable.

19. ENTERPRISE BLOG: A PRODUCTIVITY TOOL
Benefits of the “Enterprise Blog”
▸ Information collection, distribution, retrieval, and
site monitoring becomes instantly transparent.
▸ Information and data from frontline technicians or
engineers freely flows throughout layers of the
management structure.
▸ Structured data format provides statistics for key
management info.
SVM:TSX/NYSE AMERICAN 19
▸ Management has the directive, pressure, and tools to make prompt and
more accurate decisions.
▸ The system will also record if a management person has accessed the “blog”
to read or comment.
▸ Collaboration becomes easy, KPI assessments are fair and timely, and each
person is accountable for his work.
