Cobre del Mayo Snapshot 
§ Cobre del Mayo is a Mexican mining company that operates the Piedras Verdes (“PV”) copper mine in the north-western 
state of Sonora, Mexico 
§ PV is the third largest copper mine in Mexico, and it produces LME Grade A copper cathode 
§ It began commercial production in 2006 
§ Purchased by Invecture in mid 2009 
§ During 2012 a flotation circuit owned by Kupari Metals with capacity of 5,500 tons per day (“tpd”) was built and in 
April 2013 copper concentrate production began 
§ In October, 2014, CDM purchased 100% of the common stock of Kupari Holdings the holding company for Kupari 
Metals (“Kupari Acquisition”) owner of the flotation plant adjacent to Piedras Verdes 
§ Current annual capacity of 34,500 t of cathode from SX-EW and 14,000 t of copper contained in concentrate

Key Initiatives Implemented Since Invecture Acquisition 
!! In 2009, changed from contract mining to owner operation and purchased the former contractor’s equipment fleet. 
'" 
In 1H14 acquired 6 CAT 789 trucks and a CAT 6050 hydraulic shovel 
!! Purchased, re-engineered and installed a crushing, screening, conveying and stacking system 
!! Diversification of processes: 
—! Crush for Leach, Run of Mine (ROM) leach, and SX/EW produce copper cathode 
•! Installed capacity of 87 tpd, increasing to 97 tpd in 2H15, with additional cells expanding to 105 tpd 
—! Flotation plant produces 37 tpd of copper contained in concentrate and will expand to approx. 45 tpd. 
•! Plant is operating at 6,000 tpd, and upgrades to process 8,200 tpd are planned for completion by 1H15 
•! The Kupari Acquisition fully integrates the flotation and copper concentrate production into CDM 
•! Simplifies and optimizes ore allocation among processes 
•! Facilitates process improvements that involve both heap leaching and flotation 
•! Diversifies operational risk across two processes and products

§ Cu production and recovery improvement projects will reduce unit cost by increasing Cu production and lowering 
§ We expect cathode production to reach 100 tpd and copper in concentrate production to reach 40 tpd without a 
significant increase in mining rate. We believe it is reasonable to expect a reduction of C1 cash cost to $1.65/lb

Crushing 
(Cathode production 
increase) 
• Finer crushing of intermediate grade 
ore and increased tonnage of crush

production by 5 tpd by leaching more 
crushed ore with better kinetics 
Description 
• Separates screened fines producing 
coarse leachable sands (2.5 ktpd) 
and high clay slimes (1.5ktpd) from 
approximately 4.0 ktpd of screened 
fines grading 0.40%Tcu. Cu 
recovery estimated at 80%. 
• Additional flotation cells will recover 
Cu from classifier slimes 
• A 75% recovery is expected on 
approx. 1.5 ktpd ore at 0.50% TCu 
• The minus 60 mesh slimes will 
produce 4 tpd of additional Cu in 
concentrate 
• This flotation concentrate will be 
upgraded in the existing cleaner 
circuit 
• Increase crushed ore production by 
3- 4 ktpd and reduce p80 to 3/8 inch 
with estimated 8% recovery

Copper Cathode 
§ Agreement for sale of 100% of PV cathode production to Trafigura expires Dec14. 
— Cathode sold FOB at the mine and paid twice weekly against holding certificates 
§ Agreement for sale of 100% of 2015 PV cathode production to two internationally 
renowned, reliable, credit-worthy commodity traders (50% of cathode production to each 
trader). Both agreements are valid 
from 
January

term of 50 years which terminate between 2043 and 2062 
— 26 mining concessions owned by PV 
— 5 mining concessions owned by Grupo Rexgo. The right to exploit these concessions 
is governed by a contract subject to international arbitration 
§ Royalties: Grupo Rexgo charges PV a 3% net sales royalty for the copper mined from 
their underground resource concessions (beneath PV owned land)

Insurance Policy 
§ Insurance policy coverage for commercial loss/operational stoppage 
— Policy underwritten by Zurich and Royal & SunAlliance with general coverage of 
$306.6 for certain risks that are typical in the mining industry 
Mining Tax 
§ Mexican government implemented a special duty on mining concessions roughly 
equivalent to 7.5% of EBITDA starting January, 2014 
§ As currently roughly 95% of CDM ore is derived from Grupo Rexgo mining concessions, 
tax is payable by the concession holder in respect to its EBITDA 
Labor / Environmental 
§ Safety, environmental compliance and labor relations are key areas of focus of PV 
§ Since Invecture’s acquisition, Piedras Verdes has had a solid safety track record 
— Lowest premium for “Riesgo de Trabajo” (worker risk) as classified by IMSS, 
demonstrating the safety standards at CDM 
§ Approx. 427 of our 1,040 employees (including Kupari) are represented by the 
Confederación de Trabajadores de Mexico (“CTM”) 
— No work stoppages in the history of the Piedras Verdes Mine 
§ Certified as a Socially Responsible company by the Mexican Center for Philanthropy 
(Centro Mexicano para la Filantropía) and certified as a Clean Industry by the Mexican 
Federal Attorney for Environmental Protection (Procuraduría Federal de Protección al 
Ambiente), the enforcement arm of the Mexican environmental ministry 
Copper Concentrate 
§ PV sells copper concentrate to internationally recognized trading companies 
§ Current a contract with Louis Dreyfus for the delivery of 10 kt beginning on October 13th, 
2014 until December 15th, 2014 
§ Concentrate delivered FOB port of Guaymas (229 km from mine)

Incentive Price Drives the Floor Value of Copper 
n Investment in large projects is very capital intensive and in increasingly so as head grade declines 
n The incentive price required to justify investments in the expansion of existing mines and the construction 
of new ones is estimated at $3.50/lb ($7,716/t) 
— Incentive price considers required Cu price to achieve specified rate of return on expansion capex(1) 
n Although short term copper prices are unpredictable, we believe that long term prices must be driven by 
the increase over time of the incentive price (necessary to justify the investment in new production to 
maintain global output)

Stable Operating Environment in Mexico1 
!! Mexico is an economic leader in Latin America and is the world’s 14th largest economy by GDP (2014E and 
2015E real GDP growth of 2.4% and 3.5%, respectively) 
—! High degree of political stability 
—! OECD/WTO country and member of 12 free trade agreements, including NAFTA 
—! Mexican Peso has long history of one of the ten most traded global currencies 
!! As a result of mining-supportive governmental policies, stability, OECD tax regime and abundance of resources,

Kupari Acquisition Summary 
Two of our three shareholders (“Parent Companies”), Frontera Copper Corporation (“Frontera”) and Frontera 
Cobre del Mayo Mexico (“Frontera Mexico”), have acquired all of the common shares of Kupari Holdings, S.A. 
On October 3, 2014 they contributed them to Cobre del Mayo S.A. de C.V. (“Cobre del Mayo”) as fresh equity. 
Frontera and Frontera Mexico acquired these common shares for cash. Frontera and Frontera Mexico have also 
committed to acquire all of the preferred shares of Kupari Holdings subject to the prior approval of the Mexican 
Federal Economic Competition Commission (Comisión Federal de Competencia Económica or “COFECE”). 
Upon receipt of the COFECE Authorization, Frontera will (i) cause approximately $42.5 million of the preferred 
stock of Kupari Holdings to be conveyed in payment of debts of this same amount owed to Cobre del Mayo and 
(ii) pursuant to an agreement among the Parent Companies and Cobre del Mayo, the remaining preferred stock 
will be contributed as additional equity to Cobre del Mayo no later than February 1, 2016. The preferred shares 
convey the right to a nominal dividend, are perpetual and do not generally have the right to vote. 
Our third shareholder, Lawrie Associates LLP, has committed to subscribe for $15.5 million of additional equity of 
Cobre de Mayo by October 17, 2014. 
Through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Kupari Holdings owns and operates a flotation plant adjacent to the 
Piedras Verdes Mine that processes refractory and vein type copper ore that it purchases from Cobre del Mayo. 
As a consequence of these transactions, Cobre del Mayo will own and operate the floatation plant and will be 
able to directly process its copper ore both by leaching and by flotation.
