DUNDEE PRECIOUS METALS
UNDERSTANDING THE
TSUMEB SMELTER
2
This presentation contains “forward-looking information” or "forward-looking statements" that involve a number of risks and
uncertainties. Forward-looking information and forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to
the future prices of gold and other metals, the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, the realization of mineral estimates, the
timing and amount of estimated future production and output, costs of production, capital expenditures, costs and timing of the
development of new deposits, success of exploration activities, permitting time lines, currency fluctuations, requirements for additional
capital, government regulation of mining operations, environmental risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, title disputes or claims,
limitations on insurance coverage and timing and possible outcome of pending litigation. Often, but not always, forward-looking
statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”,
“estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates”, or “does not anticipate”, or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or state
that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking
statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management as of the date such statements are made, and they involve
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the
Company to be materially different from any other future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-
looking statements. Such factors include, among others: the actual results of current exploration activities; actual results of current
reclamation activities; conclusions of economic evaluations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; future
prices of gold; possible variations in ore grade or recovery rates; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated;
accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the
completion of development or construction activities, fluctuations in metal prices, as well as those risk factors discussed or referred to
in this presentation under and in the Company’s annual information form under the heading "Risk Factors" and other documents filed
from time to time with the securities regulatory authorities in all provinces and territories of Canada and available at www.sedar.com.
Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially
from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be
anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual
results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

TREATMENT CHARGES
Bulk Smelting Market
• Global copper concentrate sales have transparent benchmarks.
• These typically range from $90 to 130/t between contract and spot tonnage.
• Contract durations are normally 1-year and therefore negotiated annually.
• Concentrates need to be free of deleterious materials or face being rejected
or attract penalties for treatment.
• Treating complex elements requires blending with clean concentrates.
Complex Concentrates Market
• Tsumeb is a niche complex concentrate treatment facility with core arsenic
capability.
• The complex market concludes multi-year agreements and attracts TC
premiums to the clean market of $30 to $50/t.
• Thresholds for core arsenic penalties vary but generally start above 0.5%
• Charges are on a $ per 0.1% increment over 0.5% and the $ per 0.1%
penalty will increase as the arsenic level increases.
• Additional Penalties possible - Lead, Zinc, Se, Te, Bi, moisture, etc.

  • 2. 2 This presentation contains “forward-looking information” or "forward-looking statements" that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking information and forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the future prices of gold and other metals, the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, the realization of mineral estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production and output, costs of production, capital expenditures, costs and timing of the development of new deposits, success of exploration activities, permitting time lines, currency fluctuations, requirements for additional capital, government regulation of mining operations, environmental risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, title disputes or claims, limitations on insurance coverage and timing and possible outcome of pending litigation. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates”, or “does not anticipate”, or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management as of the date such statements are made, and they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any other future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward- looking statements. Such factors include, among others: the actual results of current exploration activities; actual results of current reclamation activities; conclusions of economic evaluations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; future prices of gold; possible variations in ore grade or recovery rates; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities, fluctuations in metal prices, as well as those risk factors discussed or referred to in this presentation under and in the Company’s annual information form under the heading "Risk Factors" and other documents filed from time to time with the securities regulatory authorities in all provinces and territories of Canada and available at www.sedar.com. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

  • 16. Dundee Precious Metals TREATMENT CHARGES Bulk Smelting Market • Global copper concentrate sales have transparent benchmarks. • These typically range from $90 to 130/t between contract and spot tonnage. • Contract durations are normally 1-year and therefore negotiated annually. • Concentrates need to be free of deleterious materials or face being rejected or attract penalties for treatment. • Treating complex elements requires blending with clean concentrates. Complex Concentrates Market • Tsumeb is a niche complex concentrate treatment facility with core arsenic capability. • The complex market concludes multi-year agreements and attracts TC premiums to the clean market of $30 to $50/t. • Thresholds for core arsenic penalties vary but generally start above 0.5% • Charges are on a $ per 0.1% increment over 0.5% and the $ per 0.1% penalty will increase as the arsenic level increases. • Additional Penalties possible - Lead, Zinc, Se, Te, Bi, moisture, etc. 16
