18. CONCLUSION
New Management Team Rapidly Moving Towards Significant Upside at Attractive Value / Low
Has Skill Set to Deliver Production at Cerro Jumil Cerro Jumil Risk Equation
Recent experience • Permitting, surface • Drilling since September • Esperanza is trading at a
permitting, building, and rights negotiation and 2010 resource substantial discount to
operating in Mexico detailed engineering statement suggests its net asset value
concurrent with substantial opportunity
• Trading at the low end
preparation of feasibility for resource expansion
of $ / oz metrics
study and mine life extension
• Particularly with low risk
• Strong balance sheet • Capital costs can be
heap leachable ounces
including $40 million in reduced and
cash restructured (staged
leach pads, ROM,
contract mining)
