    - On Feb. 23, 2011, the Company announced a new Collective Agreement at
      the El Cubo mine. The Company believes this new agreement will allow

      quarter of 2010 that increased processing capacity by 127% from 2007
      processing rates.

    - The conversion of the Ocampo heap leach facility to a valley leach
      design was completed during 2010 and provided an additional 10 million
      tonnes of stacking capacity.

    - The Company appointed four new independent directors to the board
      including Mr. Colin K. Benner (Chairman), Mr. Richard M. Colterjohn,
      Mr. Alan R. Edwards and Mr. Joseph G. Spiteri, all of whom bring a
      wealth of mining experience and possess solid industry reputations.

      elected official and career diplomat, Ambassador Lara-Alatorre worked
      in public service and the Mexican Foreign Service from 1971 until
