Forward Looking Statements 
This Investor Presentation and other communication with investors include forward-looking statements. These forward- looking statements include, without 
limitation, statements regarding our future financial position and results of operations, our strategy, plans, objectives, goals and targets, future developments in the 
markets in which we participate or are seeking to participate or anticipated regulatory changes in the markets in which we operate or intend to operate. In some 
cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” 
“guidance,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should” or “will” or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. 
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur 
in the future. We caution potential investors that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are based on numerous assumptions 
and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity may differ materially from (and be more negative than) those made in, or suggested by, the 
forward-looking statements contained in this Offering Memorandum. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and the 
development of the industry in which we operate, are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Management Discussion and Analysis Report, 
those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. Important factors that could cause these differences include, 
but are not limited to: 
• risks related to our competitive position; 
• risks related to our strategy and expectations about growth in demand for 
copper and business operations, financial condition and results of 
operations; 
• risks related to the revocation, expropriation or termination of our mining 
concessions or our water concessions or of the agreements pursuant to 
which we explore or exploit mining concessions belonging to third parties; 
• the inability to be compensated fairly in the event of termination of our 
mining concessions or our water concessions; 
• the impact of fluctuations in the market price for copper; 
• the impact of changes in the prices of raw materials, labor and our products; 
• our relationship with unions and our ability to negotiate collective bargaining 
agreements; 
• the availability of materials and equipment; 
• our access to funding sources, and the cost of the funding; 
• changes in regulatory, administrative or economic conditions affecting the 
mining industry, including government interpretations and policies; 
• the application and enforcement of environmental laws and regulations; 
• risks related to Mexico’s social, political or economic environment; 
• the impact of changes in the end uses of our products; 
• fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar against the Mexican peso; 
• risks associated with market demand for and liquidity of the notes; and 
• changes in the taxation of our business. 
In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events described in this Management Discussion and Analysis Report may not occur. We 
undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information or future events or developments.

Ore for 
Flotation 
§ $272.7M in capex has been invested since 2009 with limited maintenance capex going forward, estimated at 
$13 M/yr LOM 
§ Ore processing method is chosen according to grade, mineralization, and leaching and flotation characteristics 
to provide the best overall economics using: (i) ROM heap leach (ii) Crushed ore heap leach (iii) Sale of ore for 
concentration

Mine Plan & Resource Evolution (Total Cu, Mt) Summary of Estimated Mineral Reserves and Resources 
9 
17+ Year Mine Life 
§ Since the acquisition of CDM by Invecture, Management has increased total mineral resources by %110 to 
over 685 Mt and CDM’s mine life has extended from less than 9 years to over 17 years 
§ Management has significantly increased mineral resource estimates based on successful exploration and 
drilling programs 
§ Overall pit shape used to define the minable resources is based on a $2.50/lb copper price 
§ 157 additional drill holes will be included in a new model to be completed in Q3, with a new reserve estimate in 
4Q. The following table will be updated at that time. Current expectations are that relative to the table below, 
there will be a small decrease in ROM ore and an offsetting increase in Crush and Flotation Feed Ore

Relevant Agreements and Risk Containment 
Copper Cathode 
§ Trafigura and CDM have entered into a 18-month agreement for 100% of CDM’s 
§ Future Bidding Process: Close to termination date CDM will conduct a competitive 
Ore for Concentrate 
§ CDM committed to sell copper ore to KM and KM to purchase and process it 
— Purchase Price of Ore: Purchase of the ore is a function of the copper recovered 
and the current LME copper price with certain freight, handling and operating 
charges 
— Term: Initial fixed term of 10 years and provides for renewals

II. Operational Environment
17 
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, Mexico has attracted extensive investment from international mining companies 
— Over 850 mining companies operate in Mexico; 287 of which have foreign investment, and currently 
operate 82 producing projects within Mexico 
— ~40% of mine production and ~70% of investments in exploration are undertaken by foreign investors 
§ Mexico is recognized as a mining friendly jurisdiction 
— Largest producer of silver globally (18% of global production) 
— 3rd largest producer of copper in Latin America 
§ Sonora is among the most prolific mining areas and one of the safest states in Mexico

Cobre del Mayo Sensitivity to Variations in Copper Price 
§ The following sensitivity analysis is on a pro-forma basis excluding the current hedge and using the 
effective average 2Q14 copper price of $3.08/lb for copper cathode sales and for sales of ore for 
concentrate. Therefore, the resulting Sales and EBITDA differ from the actual 2Q14 Sales and EBITDA of 
$60.8 M and $21.0 M, respectively. 
§ A +/-$0.10/lb change in realized Cu price has an effect of +/-$2.20 M in Sales and EBITDA.

Forward Looking Statements This Investor Presentation and other communication with investors include forward-looking statements. These forward- looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding our future financial position and results of operations, our strategy, plans, objectives, goals and targets, future developments in the markets in which we participate or are seeking to participate or anticipated regulatory changes in the markets in which we operate or intend to operate.
