PROJECT TEAM
A. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
i Pheips Dodge Mining Company (PDMC), consistént with the objectives of its Strategic
Plan, has been reviewing mineral properties in mining regions throughout the world. As part
pf this strategy, a PDMC evaluation team made a December 1993 site visit to the Tintaya
property in Peni, a medium-sized, open-pit copper property with attractive undeveloped
reserves. The State owned Tintaya property is held by the Peruvian company, Empresa Minera
Especial Tintaya, S.A.(EMETSA)which is to be privatized in 1994. The privatization will be
áccomplished in two sepárate stages, the flrst consisting of the Tintaya facilities and adjacent
deposits followed at some time in the fiiture by the other mineral prospects in the Las Bambas
District. Only the first stage of the privatization process (i.e., the Tintaya facilities and the
related deposits) is discussed in this report.
The property is of interest to PDMC due to the modem and well run plant, the high
quality mineral resources being mined by open-pit methods and other potentially large and
promising mineral properties nearby. The team has prepared an economic evaluation based on
PDMC's plan for the operation of the existing and future mines, both open-pit and underground,
the concentrator and the related infrastructure. Also included is a discussion of the upside and
downside potentials, an assessment of the political risks of operating in Peni, how well Tintaya
meets PDMC's strategic plan goals, and recommendations.
1
j Exploration of the Tintaya copper property originally took place beginning in 1917 by
a number of companies, but the work of importance was the Cerro de Pasco investigations in
the 1969 to 1970 time frame, including 3,140 meters of diamond drilling. Since then, Minero
Peni, the State owned mining company, has carried out an additional 33,500 meters of drilling
along with detailed topographic and geological mapping of the surface. Feasibility work
followed in the late 1970's to early 1980's culmii^ting in construction of a Canadian-designed
8,000 toimes per day (mtpd) mine, concentrator, related ancillary facilities and a townsite. The
total construction cost for all facilities was approximately $300 million with plant production
beginning in 1985.
i
I
The Tintaya copper mine and nearby deposits of the Tintaya District are located
approximately midway between Cusco and Arequipa at an altimde of about 4,000 meters and
are four to five hours by road from either city. The existing mine and concentrator have been
operating at 8,000 mtpd of ore with a 2.0% copper grade and significant by-product gold and
silver. Recent annual metal production through 1993 has averaged approximately 50,000 toimes
óf copper, 20,000 ounces of gold and 700,000 ounces of silver. A pl^, developed by the
present Tintaya management, would opérate at a throughput ranging ñ'om 2.7 to 3.0 million
toimes per year (mtpy)of ore and has identifíed a balance of about 11 million toimes of reserves
1-1
L
in the Tintaya deposits, sufficient for four years of open-pit operation from 1995 through 1998.
TTiis plan then calis for underground developinent and mining of. the Chabuca and
L Coroccohuayco deposits in the nearby Tintaya District. The infrastnicture at Tintaya includes
[ a townsite, roads, schools, a hospital and power generation facilities. The power plant is used
only when the normal source of power via transmission line from the Machu Picchu
hydroelectric power source near Cusco is intemipted (about 1% of the time). The concéntrate
produced is sent by truck either to the port of Matarani on the Peruvian coast for shipment to
Asian smelting and refining facilities or to the lio smelter in Perú.
Stated geological reserves in the Tintaya District total 86 million tonnes of sulfide
material grading approximately 2.0% copper and containing significant gold and silver by-
products. PDMC conducted an examination of the drill cores and geological logs and
determined that the data is highly reliable with less than a 1% difference in the assays of Phelps
Dodge and Tintaya. There also existS: significant geological potential for additional reserves in
the Tintaya District. A detailed surface reconnaissance of the Tintaya and Coroccohuayco
deposits including surface geology, sampliiig of outcróppings, mapping and evaluation of prior
geophysical work has been conducted and has identified the potential for 142 million tonnes of
í I material grading approximately 2.0% copper. In addition to the sulfide potential, there are also
' geological reserves of about 25 million tonnes of oxide material grading 2.0% copper which are
part of the Tintaya District and either overlay the existing open-pit reserves or have already been
I , stripped and placed in segregated wasté dumps. Tintaya has a small crushing and pilot SX/EW
- plant oh-site which has been used for some test leaching and recovery of copper from this
material. However, this test work was stopped due to a lack of funds and some test results
í indicating high acid consumption, so these oxide reserves are not included in the economic
L- evaluation of the Tintaya property. Instead, this material is treated as waste in the open-pit mine
plans, although it represents an upside potential.
After reviewing the drill hole and geological model Information, the PDMC team
developed a somewhat different mine plan than that of the current Tintaya management. This
plan is based on open-pit ore reserves of 17.4 million tonnes at Tintaya (starting in year 1995)
and another 8.8 million tonnes at Chabuca Sur. In addition, another 28 million tonnes of
ünderground minable ore reserves have been identified at Chabuca Este and Coroccohuayco.
I To allow for gradual phase-in of the underground mines, the Tintaya open-pit is scheduled to
opérate over seven years from 1995 until 2001 and the Chabuca Sur open-pit from 2000 until
I 2012. The underground mines at Chabüca Este and Coroccohuayco are scheduled to opérate
í ! from 1998 until 2012 and 2000 until 2011, respectively. This plan will allow the concentrator
to opérate at capacity until 2010. Total estimated minable open-pit and imderground ore
reserves in the Tintaya District under this plan are 54 million tonnes averaging 2.0% copper,
with 0.4 grams per tonne (gpt) of gold and 12.5 gpt of silver. The PDMC plan will mili 3.0
million mtpy of ore in 1995 and 3.2 million mtpy of ore in 1996 through 2010 at the de-
bottlenecked concentrator, a 20% increase pver present production of 2.7 million mtpy of ore.
The capital required to opérate at this capacity is estimated to be $175.8 million(including mine
devélopment capital of $12.4 million) over &e life of the open-pit and underground mines, with
$120 million of this capital for the underground development. Only $23 million of capital is
r 1-2
p fequired in the first three years to de-bottleñeck the mine and concentrator and to improve the
éfficiency of the infrastructure. Cash operating costs are prqjected to average $0.66/lb Cu over
the Ufe of the mine ($0,60/Ib Cu for the open-pit operations and $0.70/lb Cu for the
ünderground operations). The c^h operating costs of $0.66/lb Cu ranks Tintaya at about the
57th percentile ón the world-wide, 1997 projected operating cost curve. A year by year
projection of cash operating costs is presented in Section 7, page 7-5.
I The PDMC recommended plan for development of Tintaya is not necessarily the optimal
design because of the limited scope of the study. However, the PDMC plan has focused on a
design that seeks to optimizo the project retums without sacrificing prudent operating strategies
ánd uses only stated minable reserves. The PDMC plan for 1995 through 2012 has the
following design characteristics:
1-3
Concentrator Capacity Operating at a ftill capacity of 3.2 million
mtpy of ore with an average annual
production of 180,000 tonnes of concéntrate
grading 31% copper.
Existing Power System 12 megawatts of power delivered over a 290
km transmission Une ffom the Machu Picchu
hydroelectric system to Tintaya with a
backup power plant on-site.
Existing Water System 2,600 gallons per minute(gpm) usage from a
6,000 gpm capacity water system.
Employee Requirements Beginning in 1994, 725 at the mine site and
another 137 at Lima and Arequipa, for a
total of 862, followed by reductions of
approximately 150 personnel over the first
three years.
The cash flow and net present valué (NPV) economic results in the United States are
summarized as follows for the PDMC project plan based on a constant dollar 1995 forward
through 2010 evaluation period (a 16 year full production mine life), a year-end 1994 acquisition
date, and copper prices of $0,85, $1.00 and $1.15/lb:
Economic Results
As the cost of the acquisition is not known or included in the project cash flows, the
DCFROR and payback period are not within the scope of this analysis. As can be seen in the
ábove table, using a discount rate of 11% and a copper price of $1.00/lb results in an NPV
project valué of $117 million. The approximate contributions to the $117 million NPV are $92
million from the open-pit operations and $25 million from the underground operations. The
relative attractiveness of the open-pit NPV contribution compared with the underground NPV
contribution is a result of lower capital and operating costs for the open-pit mines and timing
(the underground ore is developed later).

The significant upside and downside potentials of the Tintaya project are presented
below:
Upside Potential:
1. The potential additional geological reserves in the sulfide deposits could enhance
profitability and competitiveness.
Downside Potential:
Perú has a relatively poor ranking for country risk according to the International
Country Risk Guide (97th of 130 countries) but it is rapidly improving. Even though the
investment and political risk climate is improving, the poor ranking may make it diffícult to
obtain non-recourse financing for any acquisition in Perú. Tax and dividend repatriation
regulations in Perú are straightforward and compare favorably to the balance of Latin America,
particularly with the recent passage of laws which guarantee tax rates and offshore cash
accounts.
PDMC's Strategic Plan goals would be met in three of the five major categories,
including increasing copper production, enhancing ore reserves and achieving meaningful
geographical diversification. Until an acquisition price is assumed, the ability to achieve the
two Strategic Plan fínancial goals cannot be determined.
1-5
b
1 2. Tintaya has significant upside opportunities including additional open-pit
reserves in the immediate area of the open-pit, potential for other reserves in the
district and some potential for an oxide leach SX/EW facility.
I
3. The acquisition of Tintaya would give PDMC a significant presence in Perú
with well-trained employees and an excellent operating base, facilitating
development of other properties or expansión ofthe existing facilities at Tintaya.
4. An acquisition of Tintaya would meet some of the PDMC Strategic Plan goals.
5. No "fatal fiaws" for the acquisition of Tintaya were encountered by the PDMC
team as a result of the site visit and subsequent analysis.
As discussed, Tintaya has many attractive characteristics that would make it a good
acquisition for PDMC at the right price. The central issue of imcertainty, however, is the
extent to which the potential additional reserves exist and the methods by which they can be
successfiilly mined. Without the development of the yet unidentified (but probable) resources,
the open-pit operations are limited to approximately eight years of ftill concentrator production,
necessitating development of imderground operations (not in the cuirent scope of PDMC's
expertise and a significant potential downside).
It is therefore recommended that PDMC only bid on Tintaya if it firmly believes that
sufficient additional resources will be discovered that extend/expand the open-pit operations
of the project.

A. PROJECT BACKGROUND
! ,
1 The Tintaya project consists of an open-pit sulfide mine with nearby mineral reserves,
ah 8,000 mtpd concentrator, related infrastructure and townsite facilities. The Tintaya project
began operation in 1985 and cost approximately $300 million to construct. Through 1994,
approximately 25 million tonnes of ore have been processed and 443,000 tonnes of copper
recovered. During the last few years, average annual production has approximated 50,000
tonnes of copper, 20,000 ounces of gold and 700,000 ounces of silver. The project is wholly-
ciwned by Empresa Minera Especial Tintaya, S. A., a Peruvian State owned mining company
which will be privatized during 1994.
The mine, concentrator and infrastructure are located at an altitude of about 4,000 meters
in southem Perú betwéen the cities of Arequipa and Cusco as shown on the area map at end of
this section. Rain occurs in the normally dry región from November to March. The daytime
temperatures are modérate with some freezing at night during the rainy season. The project is
within 15 kilometers (kms) of the small town of Yaüri, which has a short dirt airstrip, and is.
about half an hour by plañe or between four and five hours by road from either Arequipa or
Cusco. Offices of the company exist at Cusco, Arequipa, Lima (the central office) and at the
pbrt of Matarani where approximately one^third of the concéntrate is shippéd to off-shore
smelters (the balance is treated at the lio smelter in Perú). Electric power is supplied by the
Machu Picchu hydroelectric system, which currently has an excess supply of energy. Water is
pumped from the nearby Salado river, which could supply water well beyond the needs of the
present operations. Tintaya holds water rights for about twice its present usage. The project
has abóut 728 permanent employees on-site(862 total permanent employees including the off-site
offices) and the townsite has a population of 3,100.

B. GENERAL OBSERVATIONS
General observatíons of the present operatíons and its management are summarized
below:
The mine, concentrator, related support shops, and infrastructure facilities are in
good to excellent condition. Repair and maintenance schedules are planned with
many of the procedures similar to those used at Phelps Dodge's mines. Work
areas were clean and tidy and eqüipment was not abused by the operators.
The wprk forcé appeared to be of good to excellent quality and were well
acquainted with their jobs and responsibilities. Morale was somewhat poor but
not surprising considering that the employees have hád no wage increases for
several years and are facing the uncertainties of a privatization. Tumover is a
problem due in large part to the isolated.location.
With the exception of a few areas, the mine and concentrator manning did not
appear excessive and was similar to that of Phelps Dodge's mines. The
administrative and infrastructure areas appear to be over staffed and will most
likely require some manpower reduction programs. The Lima office appears to
be disorganized and poorly,focused. The size of the offices in Cusco and
U
Arequipa may be too large.
Site management appears to be well qualified and dedicated to their jobs and their
employees. They appear to be making the best of a fhistrating situation created
by govemment bureaucracy.
The technical staff is well versed in modem mining practices and keq)s abreast
of new technologies even though they have not been able to afford applying most
of them.

8. A sizeable percentage of the staff personnel do not have their families on-site.
They have elected to commute to and from the site every month or two and leave
their families in Arequipa or^Lima.
C. CURRENT OPERATIONS
i. Mine
I, The nórthem edge of the mine is lócated about one kilometer from the primary crusher
next to the concentrator as shown on the map at the end of this section. The mine office, which
includes the mine administration and mine planning activities, is located cióse to, the
northwestem edge of the mine. The mine is electrified with a 10 kilovolt (kv) loop which is
stepped down to 4,160 volts for shovel and drill operations, The mine operations dispatch trucks
via radio Communications between the shovel operators and shift foremen from a tower above
the pit. The haul trucks presently have no radios although they are planning to install some this
year. The mine has been operating for almost nine years, and although some equipment has
tíeen added, very little of the original major mine equipment has been replaced.
I
I The mining rate, utilizing three eight-hour shifts, is approximately 15 million tonnes of
material per year including about 2.7 million tonnes of ore. The 200-meter deep mine presently
has excess loading equipment resulting in .a truck limiting situation. Mine design is based
around the capacity of the 12 and 6-cubic-yard (cy)shovels of 400,000 tonnes per month(mtpm)
and 225,000 mtpm, respectively. Tintaya's mine plan includes monthly plans for the current
jjear and annual plans thereafter. Mine désign is based on 8% máximum grade for haulage
ramps, 22-meterróad widths, 15-meterhighbenchesandacoppercutoff grade of0.65%. Mine
plans are done by hand with 45 to 49 degree slopes and 12-meter catch bench widths. The final
pit limit was designed in 1981 utilizing computer methods.
I
(
Blasting is done in 9 7/8-inch holes with 5.5 by 5.5 meter and 6 by 7 meter spacing for
ore and waste, resp^tively. The powder factor used ranges from 0.45 to 0.60 kilograms/cubic
meter for both ore aind waste. The final blasting practice has room for improvement as
eyidenced by the appearance of the pit slopes. Perhaps smáller holes sizes, tighter pattems,
lighter charges and double bench configuratipns should be employéd for the final limit blast.
J Sampling is performed by taking four samples from each blast hole, and the reported miñe-mili
copper grade discrepancy is cióse to zero with reported variances of ±2%. Water drainage
piroblems are not normally severe and pit dewatering, when necessary, is accomplished with a
'^0 liter/second pump at the bottom of the pit and two 45 liter/second pumps at intermediate
stations. However, during the unusually heavy rains of 1993-1994, the pit encountered serious
^3
flooding requiring additional pumping. Diversión ditches are used in the surrounding hills to
minimize water drainage into the pit.
An average of three shovels and approximately 15 trucks opérate per shift, The reported
availability for trucks, shovels, and drills is 82%, 85%, and 85%, respectively, which is quite
high considering the age of the fleet but may be the result of good preventative maintenance and
low utilization of equipment other than trucks.
An inspection of the equipment revealed that the four shovels were in excellent condition.
The shovel houses were tight with no loose or tom panels and very little rock impact damage.
All boom and dipper brass was in good shape with no excessive play. The swing gearboxes,
pinions, ring gear and house rollers were in good shape with very little play. Inside the shovels,
the houses and cabs were exceptionally clean. The generator, hoist drums, and magnetorques
were free of oil and dirt, were well maintained and there were no signs of make-shift or
temporary repairs. The shovels did show normal signs of cable groove wear. All electrical
cabinets were very clean inside and out and all wiring was tie wrapped and well marked. There
were no loose or broken doors or loosely mounted electrical components on the shovel. Since
only three of the four shovels are operated per shift, the maintenance department is given ampie
time to effect repairs and perform preventative maintenance. It is apparent by observing the
condition of these shovels that the operations personnel are not abusing the equipment and that
there is an excellent maintenance program in place.
The Wabco haulage trucks were well thought of by maintenance and mine personnel
alike. Similarly, both mine and maintenance groups agreed on the undesirability of the Belaz
(Russian) trucks. There have been ongoing problems with the cam shafts and cam shaft covers
for these Belaz trucks, and because of generally poor parts availability, the maintenance
personnel have been cannibalizing parts to keep a few of the seven Belaz trucks running.
A cióse inspection of the Bucyrus Erie 45R drills indicated that the equipment was in
excellent shape, much like that of the electric shovels. The remainder of the mobil equipment
appeared to be in good condition. Although not every piece was inspected, at least one of each
type was examined.

I Most of the mine maintenance facilitíes are lócatéd under one roof containing the
following individual shop areás: truck shop, dozer shop, auxiliáry equipment shop, light duty
equipment shop, lubrication shop, shovel repair shop, machine shop, motor and differential
repair shop, and tire repair area. The electric shop, where motors up to 200-horsepower are
rewound, is in a sepárate building.
I Each repair area within the shop was inspected.' Adequately sized overhead cranes are
installed, as are adequate quantities of repair equipment including lathes, drill presses, and
welders. Most repair areas are staffed three shifts per day. Mobil repair equipment includes
cranes, lubrication trucks, and utility vehicles.
I
! An adequate supply of spare parts was observed in the warehouse, which is located
adjacent to the maintenance shop. The valué of warehouse items is reported to be approximately
$20 million. Stocking of several key items was higher than would be encountered in a
warehouse located in the United States due to the remote location of Tintaya.
I The manpowér involved in mine maintenance is reported to total 170, of which eight are

^ ' ii. Concentrator
I The Tintaya concentrator location is shown on the general layout map at the end of this
section. The.concentrator is adjacent to the powerhouse, maintenance shops, warehouse, and
storage tanks and has a control gate entrance from the main road. The present concentrator
facilities including crushing, milling, flotation, concéntrate dewatering, concéntrate storage and-
tóling deposition are outlined in the flow-sheet also at the end of this section.
! Ore from the mine haulage trucks is'dumped into a primary 54-irich by 74-inch gyratory
crusher which reduces run of mine mineral to minus 7-inches. . An apron feeder moves the
product to two conveyors which transfer the material to a stockpile of 10,000 tonne capacity.
The ore is conveyed by three, four-foot by four-foot vibrating feeders to the secondary crushing
circuit. This product is screened in a seven-foot by 20-foot double-deck vibrating screen and
the minus 1/2-inch material is conveyed to the covered fine ore stockpile with a capacity of
16,000 tonnes, The oversize ore is routed to the seven-foot heavy duty Symons secondary cone
i crusher. The secondary crusher further reduces the ore to minus 2 1/2-inches and is directly
—* screened by a seven-foot by 20-foot double-deck Tyler vibrating screen with the fines conveyed
tb the fine ore stockpile and the oversize ore (minus 2 1/2-inches -I- 1/2-inch) conveyed to the
tertiary crusher feed bins. Two feeders supply the ore to the seven-foot Symons short-head
crushers from the feed bins. The tertiary crushers reduce the ore to the desiréd minus 1/2-inch
product which is screened by two additional seven-foot by 20-foot double-deck Tyler screens.
The minus 1/2-inch ore from the screens is conveyed to the fine ore stockpile and the oversize
(+l/2-inch to 1-inch) is conveyed to the tertiary feed bins.
From the fine ore stockpile, the minus 1/2-inch ore is moved by two conveyors, each
with three feeders under the fine ore stockpile to the milling circuit. Grinding is accomplished
in two Allis Chalmers 16-foot by 20-foot overflow ball milis each with 3,000-horsepower
ratings. Each mili is in a closed circuit with a cluster of four Krebs D-26 cyclones. Cyclone
overflow of 5% plus 65-mesh flows by gravity to rougher flotation and the ünderflow flows by
gravity back to the ball milis for further grinding. Denver Autometric partióle size monitors are
üsed in each of the ball mili circuits.
I
¡~ I Rougher flotation is carried out in QK-38, 1,350 cubic foot cells. The primary bank of
U three rougher cells produces a final concéntrate grade product, which is pumped directly to the
concéntrate thickener. The product of the secondary bank of three rougher cells is routed to the
¡ regrind discharge sump and the rougher scavenger bank of two cells is pumped to the rougher
' feed box. The tails from the scavenger rougher bank are pumped to a distributor box, which
feeds one of two 250-foot tails thickeners. The regrind discharge sump slurry is pumped to a
I 1 tíank of eight Krebs D-6 cyclones. The cyclone overflow flows by gravity to cleaner flotation.
U Cyclone ünderflow gravity flóws to thé nine-foot by 12-foot overflow regrind mili with a 450-
horsepower rating.

! Cleaner flotatíon is performed in Denver DR-300, 300 cubic-foot-cells. The first cleaner
concéntrate is routed to the second cleaner and the tails are routed to the four Denver DR-300
re-cleanefs. The second cleaner concéntrate is final concéntrate grade of 31% copper and is
routed to the concéntrate thickener. The second cleaner tail is routed to the first cleaner feed
box. The re-cleaner concéntrate is routed to the rougher feed box and the tails routed to the tails
distributor box and on to the tails thickeners. Testing of column flotation is also in progress in
á three-foot by 40-foot column with a portion of the cyclone overflow from the regrind cyclones
feeding the column. The test column concéntrate is final grade and is routed to the concéntrate
thickener with the tail routed to the re-cleaner feed box. The concéntrate thickener underflow
is pumped to a holding tank, which feeds one of four Larox filters (one PF-32 and three PF-
25's). The concéntrate thickener overflow water is pumped to a process water tank. The Larox
filter product is conveyed to a covered stockpile of 12,000 tonnes capacity.
¡ The primary collectors are Cyanamid A242 (sodium dithiophosphate) and Cyanamid
A404 (mercapto-benzo-thiazole) blended Fto 2 and added to the ball milis. Z-11 (isopropyl
sodium xanthate) is also used occasionally. The frothers are Oreprep F547 (polypropylene
glycol ether) blended with pine oil and added to the mili and first rougher bank and Dowfroth
250 added to the last two roughers and the scavengers. Other mercaptans are also add^
pccasionally to enhance recoveries and additional reagents are being tested to enhance gold
fecovery. Sodium silicate is used as a depressant. Flocculent is added to the tails thickeners.
Lime is not being used and, therefore, water treatment chemicals are not necessary. Plant
recoveries have averaged 90% for copper, 69% for gold and 60% for silver over the last three
/ears.
The tailings thickener overflow water is pumped to the process water tanks. The tailings
hickener underflows are cycloned with six Krebs D-20's and used for raising the dam when
necessary. The cyclone overflow is laundéred further downstream in the tailings impoundment.
The tailings dam setup is "backwards" compared to normal tailings dam design. The actual dam
is located about 1,000 feet from the concentrator and the tailings flow down the valley away
from the concentrator. At the end of the valley, a dam has been constructed with the upper
portions being porous to act as a filter. The water collects behind this dam and filters through
the dam, flowing down to the Salado river: The water quality meets Peruvian standards after
filtering through the tailings dam but would not be acceptable for United States standards. Fresh
make-up water is taken upstream from the tailings dam outflow into the Salado river and is
pumped back to the concentrator as necessary (a distance of several kilometers) with three
Worthington 1,500 gpm pumps. Approximately 50% of the water necessary for operations is
pumped from the Salado river tp the site, Concentrator personnel are installing larger pumps
at the tailings thickener overflows in an effort to reduce the amount of make-up water taken
from the Salado river to 25%. None of the water behind the porous dam is retumed to the
concentrator, and as a quick cPst cutting measure, a barge/pump system could be installed to
further reduce the make-up water required from the Salado river. Construction of a "normal"
dam should also be investigated in the future so pumping distances could be reduced (an
ópportunity will exist when the tailings disposal is to be moved to the next valley in about 2002).
Current water usage is 4,000 gpm of which 2,000 gpm is recovered at the tailings thickeners.
{

(
I
With the addition of the larger pumps at the tailings thickener overflows it is hoped to recover
aitotal of 3,000 gpm.

I
I -
' The plant maintenance group is effícient and performs functions similar to maintenance
at Morenci and with similar equipment. They do not appear to have excessive personnel and
are well organized into departments. Instrumentation maintenance is not extensivo in the plant
büt the monitors, scales, metal detectors and probes are maintained by the instrumentation
department. The plant maintenance is organizó into the following departments: maintenance,
P 2r9
planning and control, maintenance crushing, maintenance concentrator, and maintenance
instrumentation. Record keeping on equipment maintenance schedules is kept up to date.
i_
I The primary crusher through the fine ore storage areas have cranes (50-tonne in the
primary crusher) that are sufficient to handle all major maintenance jobs. For the milling area,
all bearings were quiet with no excessive noise or vibration. Lubrication is via lube injector
systems which are comparable to those used at Morenci.
! The flotation area and concéntrate dewatering and storage areas all were running
smoothly with the exception of the Larox filters. they have been a maintenance problem and
costly to keep running which will have to be improved for successfiil de-bottlenecking of the
plant. The tailings and water supply have few maintenance problems as does the powerhouse
which oniy functions when the supply from Machu Picchu is intemipted.
.I The plant maintenance is on a par in terms of staffing to that of the Metcalf concentrator._
In terms of quality of work, the repair workers were well-trained and used modem tools and
methods comparable to those at Metcalf's maintenance group. The manpower involved in plant
maintenance is 47, of which 5 are consideréd staff as presented below:

iii Infrastructure
! Access tp Tintaya is via dirt roads from Arequipa(260 kms) or Cusco(250 kms), Both
of these cities have airports with commercial air service to the rest of.Peru on a regularly
scheduled basis. Iñcoming supplies for Tintaya and outgoing concéntrate we sent in or out by
rbad from Arequipa. Tintaya performs regular annual road surface maintenance during the dry
season on a 195 kms stretch of the road from Arequipa. The condition of this road deteriorares
considerably during the rainy season. During this time of the year, travel speeds must be cut
back to less than 50% of normal, which increases round-trip times for both concéntrate trucks
and light vehicles. In spite of the fact that this is a major road serving the city of Cusco and
outlying areas, there is no present plan by the Peruvian govemment to pave this road at any time
during the next few years. The location of the infrastructure facilities aré illustrated on the map
at the end of this section.
2-10
¡ Tintaya has a small airport located at a distance of 15 kms from the mine site next to the
tówn of Yauri. This airport is open during daylight hours (when visibility conditions permit)
^d may be used for landing by airplanes :as large as a C-130 Hercules cargo plañe, with a
máximum gross landing weight of 130,000 Ibs.
I Electric power is supplied from the Machu Picchu hydroelectric power plant via a 290
km long, 138 kilovolt (kv) transmission line. Power is stepped down to 10 kv at the Tintaya
substation. Both this substation and the transmission line are owned by Electro Sur Este S.A.
(ESESA), a state-owned power utility compány that will also be privatized soon. Tintaya has
signed a power supply agreement with ESESA providing for 12 megawatts(MW)of connected
power until May 1, 1995. This agreement provided especially low rates for Tintaya, and
because of this, ESESA is attempting to renegotiate these rates. At present the purchased power
cost is $0.044/kwhr. The 138 kv transmission line continúes from the Tintaya substation to the
city of Puno. Additionally, ESESA is considering plans to construct a 138 kv transmission line
from Tintaya to the city of Arequipa in order to sell power in that area. It is assumed that
higher power rates of approximately $0.055/kwhr will be encountered in 1996 and thereafter.
Tintaya also has an 18 MW diesel generator plant made up of 8 genérator units. This
plant supplies power for operations during power outages or brown-outs on the ESESA grid and
is also used to assist in handling surge demand peaks from processing facilities. During 1992,
ESESA's power supply capabilities were quite reliable but in 1993, there have been reports of
several power failures, for which Tintaya and ESESA have mutually accused each other of being
responsible. About 99% of the power for Tintaya during 1993 came from ESESA and the
tlalance from the Tintaya powerhouse.
O..
I The power distribution system serving Tintaya's operations is via a 10 kv loop to local
substations serving the various facilities, where it is stepped down to 4,160 volts to supply major
^uipment motors (ball milis, crushers, etc.). A low voltage substation is also on hand for
supplying off-site facilities, such as offices, camps, etc.
i
I Additional facilities at Tintaya include 5,800 square feet (sf) of mine offices, 46,000 sf
i of warehouses and 400 sf of first aid facilities located in the process facilities area. Also
i í included is a fire water loop and a sewage hetwork.
I The administrativo offices are made up of a collection of small buildings in poor to fair
condition with average maintenance. Offices are very small and there is little evidence of labor
^viiig devices or a good communication system. These offices are grouped together at a general
office, situated one mile from the concentrator plant as shown in the facilities layout at the end
qf this section. Total constructed floor space at the general office amounts to 22,900 sf.
i
I Make-up water is drawn at an intake on the Salado river and pumped to a head tank of
1.3 million gallón capacity through a buried 20-inch diameter 6.3 kms long carbon-steel pipeline.
TTiis head tank supplies the plant water loop, mine services, the fire loop and a 310 gpm
drinking water treatmeht plant. This potable water plant meets the demand for the mine and
U-
/
L 2-n
processing facilities ánd for household use at the worker's camp and Pueblo Joven town site
(located one mile from the workers camp and inhabited by the original surface rights holders of
) the Tintaya mining claims). For the administrative offices, hospital and camp staff another
potable water source, taken from local springs totaling 100 gpm (water rights are held by
Tintaya) is used.
i
I The amount of water taken from the Salado river is approximately 2,600 gpm, but the
water intake pipeline was originally designed for a capacity of 6,000 gpm. Water rights are held
for up to 6,000 gpm from the Salado river. The volume of flow in the Salado river diminishes
tp an average of 30,000 gpm during the dry season. The pumping system connected to the
Salado river intake facilities is made up of an underwater intake, head chamber and three vertical
pumps mounted in parallel and are each designed to pump 1,500 gpm. These facilities appear
to be in good condition. Also included in the water system is a small reservoir located upstream
from the tailings disposal facility. This reservoir is used to impound runoff water during the
rainy season.
!
I Tintaya has a small hospital of 11,000 sf equipped to provide for regular medical
t I
checkups, operating rooms for emergency surgery (e.g., appendectomies, cesarían sections,
etc.), a matemity ward, an X-ray room and a laboratory for routine tests. Patients in serious
condition are sent by ambulance to Cusco or Arequipa. This hospital has 12 beds, a small
i'solation ward for contagious diseases and a total manpower of 33, including physicians,
paramedics and administrative personnel. The hospital facilities are in good condition and aré
in compliance with local regulations. The- hospital provides medical attention and distributes
medication free of charge to Tintaya personnel and dependents and to local inhabitants who are
without any apparent means of support. ,. Persons from neighboring communities may pay
(depending on ability to pay) for health care services provided by this hospital. Health care
seivices which this hospital is not able to ftimish on-site for employees are provided at outlying
cities, and part of the cost for such services is borne by a group health plan named.Seguro
Médico Familiar, for which Tintaya provides financial support.
I
I Tintaya is the owner of Camp N®2 for staff, located 4.2 kms from the concentrator plant
as seen on the facilities layout at the end of this section. This camp is comprised of 48 houses,
some single family and some duplexes with floor space ranging from 460 sf to 1,500 sf. These
buildings are used to house 60 families and 30 persons on single status. A modest hotel of forty
beds for guest lodging is located in the center of the camp. The staff camp facilities are in good
condition, except for the hotel, which will require remodelling. The total constructed floor
space at this camp amounts to 101,000 sf.
I
¡ Tintaya is also the owner of Camp N°3 for workers, located five kms from the
concentrator. This camp features 25 three-story buildings and 45 foür-story buildings with a
total of 550 apartments ranging from 400 sf to 1,000 sf. This camp has a central plaza and
certain community facilities, such as a small fresh produce market, bus terminal, supermarket,
basic shopping outlets, chapel, movie house, social center, basic sports facilities, gas station,
child day care center, school, small hotel and recreational facilities. The apartment buildings
2-12
(totalling 480,000 sf) appear to be adequately maintained. Sixty percent of the streets are paved
in the workers camp and the camp has been provided with outside lighting.
i '
I Current reports indícate that approximately 740 Tintaya employees live at the staff and
workers camps, with an estimated total population of 3,100 persons, including employee
dependents and company fumished or supported teachers. Tintaya provides electricity and water
services to both of these camps free of charge and to Pueblo Joven.
'
! The Tintaya workers camp has a school where primary education is provided free of
charge. Current reports show a school population of 943 schoolchildren, made up of the
children of Tintaya employees and children from neighboring localities. Schooling is provided
by 29 teachers paid by Tintaya and 66 govemment paid teachers, who also receive monetary
incentives from Tintaya. A certain amount of housing is available for teachers on single status,
who are given free room and board. Teachers on family status occupy housing units in the staff
or workers camps.
i
I Tintaya operates and controls the staff and workers camps, with the exception of the fresh
produce market and the gas station, which are leased out to others. Mail service and public
telephone service are provided and controlled by the Peruvian govemment.
!
(
' Tintaya is linked with the city of Cusco by means ofa four-channel UHF Communications
system, and from Cusco is linked with the rest of the country and the world through the local
carrier ENTEL. The telecommunications system is oflow capacity and limited quality. No data
channels are available to link the various company centers (Tintaya, Lima, Arequipa) ñor are
there local data networks at any of these facilities.
I Tintaya subsidizes lunch for workers at the work place with company subcontracted food
seívices, which additionally opérate the company lunch rooms and hotels. At the workers camp,
Tintaya also provides contractor personnel lodging (in fair condition) to food handlers, security
personnel, etc.
I
The overall security at Tintaya facilities is provided by the Peruvian Pólice, which
maintain a contingent of 30 pólice officers, bolstered by security contractors fiimishing a group
óf 80 armed guards posted at strategic locations. The company provides lodging, food and
monetary compensation to Peruvian Pólice personnel. ,Most facilities including the camps,
offices and the concentrator are surrounded with fencing and have controlled entrances and exits.
l^cal security has not been a probiem and they have had no terxorist incidents during the nine
years of operation. In addition, the supply Une to the make-up water pumping station has been
liuried as a measure to protect it against any potential terrorist attacks, although no such attacks
Has been reponed at any Tintaya facilities or camps. However, in the general región there have
been some terrorist activity as three terrorist attacks on the 290 Idlometer tnmsmission Une to
Tintaya were reponed during 1992, causing temporary failures in the power supply.
M3
I The Lima office, with 97 employees, handles the general administrative ftinctions of thé
rampany (accounting, mataríais management, finance, sales, CIS, etc.). The Arequipa office,
with a manpower pf 23, provides logistic support for the mine site in addition te local
procurement and accounting support. The Cusco office,, with manpower of 17, performs public
felations functions with local authorities and provides logistic support for the mine site.
Administration totals 151 employees on-site in the areas of general administration, logistics,

j The majority of the required supply items are purchased in Lima. Incoming imported
supply items are generally unloaded at the port of C¿lao, near Lima, where the largest port
facilities are available.
I
(
! The concéntrate produced by Tintaya is shipped from the mine site by truck to the port
óf Matarani or altematively, to the town of Cañahuas, where it is stored for subsequent inland
freight by rail to Matarani or the smelter at lio, located 383 kms from the mine site. At
Cañahuas, through an existing agreement with the Peruvian State railways, the concéntrate is
stored in a warehouse and then loaded onto 40-tonne capacity side-dumping hopper cars. Also
provided at this locatión are a truck scale and a railroad scale, both owned by Tintaya. During
1993, only 37% of the concéntrate sent to Matarani was shipped by rail due to the poor
condition of the rail line and poor service in general.
(
I At the port of Matarani, Tintaya rents approximately one hectare of land for storing and
lóading of copper concéntrate. All support services for concéntrate handling are provided by
contractors. The concéntrate is reclaimed from stockpiles by front-end loaders and loaded onto
a 48-inch wide belt conveyor of 400 to 500 mtph capacity. All of the conveying system is
owned by the Peruvian govemment port agency (ENAPU). The belt conveyor system is
I-J
^uipped with a bin scale and discharges onto portable stackers at the wharf, which are used to
load the ocean-going vessels. The chutes which discharge into the vessel holds are not provided
with any protection against the wind. It is reported, however, that losses are low (0.1-0.2%)
in spite of the absence of any means to prevent losses. During vessel loading periods at the
port, only two Tintaya employees aré on-site, along with hired guards. The size of vessels is
limited to 32 foot máximum vessel draft (25,000 tonnes) but there are no major restrictions on
vessel beam. The customary shipments of Tintaya concéntrate are in 10,000 tonne lots and the
average concéntrate ship loading rate is on the order of 300 mtph (the best record to date is 450
mtph). The Tintaya port operations in general, and concéntrate loading operations in particular,
recently have improved considerably and costs have been reduced in comparison with previous
years when the contractors were used.
• The cómpany has been noted for its support of the development of Pueblo Joven
• The company has kept up agreements with the localities of Alto Huankaré and
Tintaya Marquiri to provide preferential treatment in hiring of unskilled
temporary-hire workers

The current on-site infrastructure manpower totals 94 and is presentad below:
With the 94 personnel in irifrastructure and 288 iñ administration (including the off-site
manpower of 137), the total Generé and Administration (G & A) manpower is 382. Including
the total mine and concentrator manpower of 372 and 108, respectively, the total Tintaya
permanent employees on-site are 725 and 862 at all locations.
Tintaya management has developed a plan to opérate the concentrator and mine for
ápiproximately four years with open-pit ore at 2.7 million mtpy in 1995 and 1996, 2.8 million
mtpy in 1997 and almost 3 million tpy in 1998 and a few months of 1999. The plan is to
supplement the open-pit ore with underground ore as they shift to underground operations of
,000 mtpd in late 1998 from the Chabuca Este deposit and 4,000 mtpd in 1999 from the
2-16
Coroccohuayco deposit. Significant reserve definition work remains to bé performed on both
deposits, although design work has been compleled through the level of a pre-feasibility study.
'
I
At Chabuca Este, which is adjacent to the Tintaya open-pit, a decline with a 3.5 by 3.5-
meter section has been driven 1,607 meters along the approximate strike of the ore body. The
decline is collared on the 4000 level, and its heading is about to break through to the southwest
side of the Tintaya open-pit. The studies completed on the project assume that the most
ápprppriate mining method would be a mechanized cut and fill stoping method with ore
tMSportation to the concentrator via haulage trucks ffom the bottom of thé Tintaya open-pit,
! The Coroccohuayco deposit is located at a straight-line distance of seven kms from the
Tintaya open-pit. The ore body is appfoximately 100 meters thick and lies approximately 300
meters below the surface. The studies completed on this project assumed that a mechanized cut
and fill stoping mining method should be used, and that trucks would haul the ore to the Tintaya
concentrator.

GEOLOGY
The Tintaya Mining District is located in the southeastem limit of the Ferrobamba
Copper Skam Belt of south central Peni as shown on the location map in Section 2. This beit
extends 250 kms to the northwest of Tintaya with an average width of 60 kms. It is formed by
a Mesozoic sedimentary sequence strongly folded, thrusted, uplifted and intruded during the
Andean Orogénesis (Incaic Phase). The main sfructural feature on the belt is the Abancay
peflection which is a regional warping of the sequence in such a way that the northem part runs
east-west, gradually tuming and running southeast in the southem part. All the major stnictures
within the belt parallel this regional trend.
The sedimentary sequence is of late Jurassic to early Cretaceous age and is comprised
6f the Yura quártzité at the base, overlain by the Mara redbeds and topped by the Ferrobamba
limestones. The sequence has been repeatedly intruded during late Cretaceous to mid-Tertiary
by diorites and granodiorites of the Abancay Batholith, followed by stocks and dikes óf
D monzonite porphyry and late andesite dikes.
The gray nodular limestones of the Ferrobamba formation and the monzonite porphyry
intrusions host the relevant ore deposits in this mineral province. These are of the Cu(Au-Mo)
skam, Fe-Au skam and disseminated Au in monzonite porphyry type as shown in Figures 1 and
2 (all Figures are at the end of this section). The skam copper deposits of the Tintaya and
I I Ferrobamba Belts are formed as the result of intmsive rock being emplaced into a sedimentary
rock such as shale or, limestone. The skam forms as the result of chemical reaction between the
two rock units and forms at or near the geologic contact, Other examples of skam deposits
include portions of the Shannon Mountain deposit at Morenci and the high density copper-
magnetite-chalcopyrite-pyrite ore at Chino. Tintaya Skam differ from these two deposits in that
me intmsive rock at Tintaya is generally'pporly mineralized while at Morenci, the intmsive is
mined as ore. Potential also exists in the Ferrobamba Copper Skam Belt to lócate intmsive units
mat have disseminated or "porphyry" style mineralization similar to that at Morenci and Chino.
The mining claims that will be in the Tintaya mine privatization package include those
within the Tintaya mine operation area, called the Tintaya Mining District and include the
existing Tintaya open-pit, all Chabuca deposits and the Coroccohuayco deposit. The Las
Bambas District, the Livitaca District and the Northwestern Mining District will be part of a
sepárate privatization package and are nót discussed in this section. All of these claims are
presently all under the ownership of Minero Pem but will be transférred to Tintaya and other
entities as part of the privatization process. The individual claims of each district are shown in
the tables in Section 5.

r* B. THE TINTAYA MINING DISTRICT
i. Local Geology
! The Tintaya Mining District is the southeastem most outcropping of the Ferrobamba
Copper Skarh Belt, a window of Mesozoic sedimentary rocks surrounded by diverse volcanic
units of upper Tertíary and Quatemary age as well as recent sediments. It is located south of
the town of Yauri and west of Héctor Tejada.
! The Tintaya Mining District hosts several copper skam deposits and prospects. Tintaya
is the most important but the district also includes the Chabuca, Chabuca Este, Chabuca Sur,
Ghabuca Norte, Inflexión and Zona Nueva deposits. Other deposits of copper skam type are
Coroccohuayco and' Atalaya as well as the Huacollo, Atuncancha, Condor Sayana and
Huinicunca prospects. Examples of these are copper disseminations in brecciated quartzite of
the Quechua and Ccayo-Huinicunca properties. The Atalaya and Quechua properties have other
ownefs and the Ccayo-Huinicunca propeity is located at a significant distance from the Tintaya
dperations. Since these properties are not part of the Tintaya privatization, they will not be
discussed in this report.
The Tintaya Copper Skam deposit surrounds the Tintaya quartz monzonite stock (Figures
li má 2) on its southeastem, southem, and southwestem contact with a wedge of Ferrobamba
limestones caught between the stock and the granodiorite píuton (lopolith) to the south. The

p deposit has been subdivided into different bodies which from northeast to southwest are called
Zona Nueva, Inflexión (Tintaya Open-Pit), Chabuca Este, Chabuca and Chabuca Norte. The
Chabuca Sur deposit occurs south of Chabuca and Chabuca Este, below a superficial outcrop of
the granodiorite lopolith which probably acted as a cap rock. The geometry of the first deposits
follows "grosso modo" the contact of the monzonite stock which in general dips towards the
center of the intrusive (Figures 3 and 4). These are disrupted by numerous monzonite porphyry
dikes projecting outward from the stock with southwesterly strike. It is precisely these dikes that
intrude the Ferrobamba limestones below the granodiorite lopolith and have mineralized the
contact between these two units forming the Chabuca Sur deposit with an upward concave lens
shape (Figure 5). The mineralization is hosted in gamet and diopside skam and forms irregular
high grade bodies of chalcopyrite, bomite, pyrite, magnetite and calcite. Normally there is low
pyrite contení and some of the bodies are magnetite dominant. An average ore grade of 2%
copper is a common factor, although the grade can range up to 8% or more locally.
Exploration in the Tintaya Mining District has been limited to the Tintaya and
Coroccohuayco outcrops. Surface mapping of the whole district by Minero Peni is based
primarily on aerial photography with very limited field reconnaissance. Indirect methods such
as geophysics were only used at the Tintaya deposit and limited to the outcrop area and
suiToundings. Despite this, a cióse study of oíd Minero Peni maps indicates the existence of
several outcrops of "mineralized" and "un-mineralized" skam that have never been appropriately
explored. These are the Huinicunca, Huacollo, Condor Sayana and Altucancha deposits and,
based on work completed by Phelps Dodge geologists, some of these appear to be larger than
the Tintaya or Coroccohuayco systems. Large extensions of terrain with Ferrobamba limestone
outcroppings, intruded by monzonite porphyry remain still unexplored to the west of Tintaya and
to the east of Huacollo and Altucancha. Finally, as discovered at Tintaya and Coroccohuayco,
the diorite intnisions often have lopolithic shape, with a sub-horizontal base capping potentially
mineralized terrain.
A detailed field study of geological relationships along with geochemical sampling, and
with magnetic and electrical geophysical surveying will have a potential to demónstrate the
existence of many more outcropping and blind deposits, possibly within or adjacent to the
Tintaya and Coroccohuayco deposits.

ii. Geological Ore Reserves
The geological reserves presented in the "Report On The Resource And Back-Of-The-
iovelope Economic Evaluation" prepared by the PDMC Bxploration and Development Group,
Santiago office, dated September 1993, was based on the Tintaya reserve estímate dated June
1993. Since this date, several reserve updates have been issued by Tintaya, modifying the cut-
off grade and diverse other parameters in some cases, ahd as a result of additional exploration
drilling in others. These updates were done in an effort to increase the sulfide ore reserves for
he privatization.
A study of the reserve statements of Tintaya showed that for some ore bodies only
minable reserves were included as seen in the Inflexión and Zona Nueva (Tintaya Open-Pit),
while others included all geological reserves. In view of this, the services of Lyñx Geosystems
who had completed modeling work for Tintaya, were contracted to verify the geological and/or
minable reserves of the principie deposits óf the Tintaya District, including the Inflexión and
^na Nueva, the Chabuca Este, and the Chabuca Sur,
The geologicál reserves of both sulfide and oxide material in the Tintaya Deposit are

Between January 28 and February 23, 1994, Phelps Dodge geologists conducted an
éxamination of the Tintaya drill core and geologic logs of the core on-site at the Tintaya
facilities. The purpose of this investigation was to 1) verify the Information on selected drill
Ipgs as well as the information illustrated on the geologic sections, 2) verify the lithologic and
mineralogic descriptions, 3) visually check for consistency between tíie log, core and reportad
assays with respect to copper mineralogy and grade, and 4) preparé actual composite samples
pf approximately 10% of all mathematically composited intervals throughout the entire database
tp confirm reportad total and soluble copper grades used in the ore reserve estimation. For each
of the important deposits the total length of mineralization intercepted by drilling was
determined. Ten percent of this total ore intercept length was then distributed randomly over
cross sections illustrating the ore zones and core. Sample pulps representing these intervals then
were physically pulled from the shelves, visually inspected, and the pulps representing 1.5 meter
intervals composited to ten meter intervals. A total of 3,199 samples were combined by the
equal volume method to make 537 samples for analysis. Analytical work for total and soluble
copper and also gold was performed by Bondar Clegg of Vancouver and SGS of Lima. Details
of the assay comparisons for individual deposits can be found in Appendix A which includes the
text pf the ore reserve data base verification report. The study determined that the Tintaya data
^e highly reliable with only a 0.60 percent difference in the assays reported by Tintaya and the
I^helps Dodge verifícation assays. Gold content was determined to range from 0.148 g/mt in
the Chabuca Sur deposit to 0.46 g/mt in the Chabuca deposit.

iv. Potential Reserves
Field work consisted of the direct qbservation, sampling, and mapping of outcropping
evidence of mineralization such as magnetite bodies, gamet skams, gossans, and copper oxide
stained areas. No indirect detection meíhod such as geophysics or optical remote sensing was
used by our reconnaissance team due to time constraints, weather constraints early in the
evaluation, and expense for this level of investigátion. Additionally, the Tintaya CEPRI would
not permit confirmatory drilling or bulk sampling at the mine or prospects. Previously existing
geophysical work, although patchy, helped assess the potential ofsome areas; nevertheless, large
areas remain open tó exploration for blind mineral deposits that are not considered in the scope
óf this work. Surface rock chip samples were analyzed by conventional methods for copper and
gold. The analytical results are considered only referentiál as outcrops are strongly leached,
exposing copper oxides only in trenches or recently exposed surfaces.
j
For the purpose of potential resource calculations, the prospects have been grouped into
the Tintaya and Coroccohuayco areas according to their proximity to each of these two main
areas, Detaüs of the estímate are included in the text of the report and also in Appendix A.
The potential geological reserves of the Tintaya Mining District from this study are shown in
the following table:

The total geological reserves, of the currently defined Tintaya Deposit, for both sulfide
and oxide material amounts to 111 million tonnes. As noted in the table above there is the
potential (to the south and west) to increase the Tintaya geologic reserves by 17 million tonnes.
The nearby Coroccohuayco deposit with 26 million tonnes of geological reserves estimated on
the basis of 33 diamond drill boles, of which all but one intersected the mineralized horizons,
remains open in all directions. Based on the geological relationships of this ore body, as well
as on the surface outcrops, a potential of at least an additional 125 million tonnes with average
án grade above 2% Cu can be assumed to exist within the one-km long outcrop trend of skarn
lenses and their projection at depth as noted in the table above.
L
I The Tintaya Mining District geologic (111 million tonnes) and potential geologic 142
million tonnes) reserves could be on the order of 253 million tonnes with an average grade of
2% Cu.
I C. EXPLORATION PROGRAMS
I
In order to better assess the exploration potential of the property, define the geological
ánd minable reserves and determine the exploration requirements in the future, two exploration
sicenarios are analyzed in order of priority and timing as presented below:
1
1. The pre-acquisition work program, designed to confirm the actual reserves and
I provide an estimation of the potential of the district. This program, with the
I exception of expensive geophysical surveying, was completed.
I 2. The post-acquisition definitión drill program, designed to completely delinéate
I open ore bodies and fill in un-appropriately drilled areas. The estimated cost is
i $3 million.
3-7
The post acquisitíon definition drilling program at Tintaya will utilizo existing on-site
U' equipment as much as possible. The Tintaya exploration department owns and opérales two
( Longyear 44 diamond drilling rigs with adequate crewing to opérate each for three shifts per day
^d tíiese and others, as needed, will be contracted. As of March 1994, the seven district
mineral resources are delineated by 805 diamond drill boles totaling 120,233 meters as illustrated
below:
1 Inflexión 92 22,684
1 Chabuca 276 16,279
!Chabuca Este 259 41,057
¡ Chabuca Sur 117 11,023
¡Chabuca Norte 28 4,213
Coroccohuayco 33 24,977
!
Total 805 120,233
I ' As part of the Phelps Dodge review of the data supplied by the Tintaya staff, a cursory
review of the variography of the open-pit minable resources was performed by Lynx Geosystems
pf Vancouver. Lynx was contracted by Phelps Dodge specifically because Lynx software is
litilized currently at Tintaya and they could an¿yze and evalúate for Phelps Dodge, mining cost
criteria with minimal reformatting of basic data. North and east ranges of data correlation for
the Tintaya Inflexión Zone, Chabuca Este, and Chabuca Sur conñrmed by Lynx are
approximately 40 meters while the vertical ranges are 25, 20, and 6 meters respectively.
[ Cross sections illustrating drill hole data (including rock type and copper grade) and
geologic interpretations were reviewed for drilling thoroughness based on the vmography-
defined ranga criteria and desirable additional drill locations were noted and depths estimated.
Additionally, Lynx analyzed the block copper grade estimation variance to liighlight zonas
having unacceptable estimation variance levels due to inadequate drilling. The total mínimum
suggested drilling for the three deposit areas to delíncate open-pit minable reserves is 166 boles
for 17,270 meters.

The total program therefore amouhts to 30,000 meters, to be executed in two years at
a cost of $3 million ($100/meter). The present capacity of the two truck mounted Longyear 44
machines owned by Tintaya is 10,000 meters/year, therefore añ additional machine will have
o be contracted during this period.
After the initial two year definition drill program noted above, Tintaya should have
áppropriately defined minable and geolpgical reserves. As the project plan only develops the
^own minable ore reserves and assumes no additional reserves, the annual cost estímate for
exploration activities will only include claims maintenance and overhead for the district totaling
0.2 million per year starting after completion of confirmation of the reserves of Tintaya.
The Ferrobamba Copper Skam Belt although essentially unexplored is reported to host
át least 17 copper skam deposits, 12 iron skam deposits, 10 disseminated or skam related gold
deposits, four porphyry copper type occurrences and 15 copper vein systems. Most of the iron
skam deposits reported are associated with copper mineralization at depth, and all the porphyry
^gets remain largely unexplored. No modem explorátion methods have been used in this
prolific copper belt, largely due to the fact that since the late 1960's, Peni was politically
isolated from the rest of the world and because of a lack of accessibility, energy and
ihfrastructure in general as well as the distance to ports. The better conipetitive position and
much larger targets of the Chile-Peru coastal copper porphyry belt have experienced most of the
exploration activity during the last decade.
- Nevertheless, the total mining property saturation together with the exhaustion of
exploration targets within the porphyry belt, coupled with the much higher grade deposits and
new energy and infrastructure possibilities in the Ferrobamba Copper Skam Belt will no doubt
change the attention of new exploration efforts. Cpmparatively, the Ferrobamba Copper Skam
Bélt is the largest of its type in South America. In Perú, only two major copper skam deposits
^e known outside it: Antamina and' Cobrisa. It is second only to the Chile-Peru Coastal
Copper Porphyry Belt in copper ore reserves. The Peruvian coastal volcanogenic massive
sulfide deposits are much smaller and lower grade targets, although much closer to ports.
Finally, the geological setting and characteristics show the potential for large copper
deposits of the porphyry copper and skam types throughout the belt. Even more important,
these deposits are readily accessible to surface and indirect tele-detection methods of exploration
which have never been used in this area.
The Tintaya mine acquisition will próvide a competitive edge to the new owner, not only
because of the mining property, but also because it provides the basic exploration infrastructure
ánd support.

n PROJECT PLAN
A. OVERVIEW
PDMC's pláns for the future operatíon of the Tintaya project are based on what is^
presently known about the mineral reserves and the existing capabilities of the facilities. As
discussed in Section 3, the potential geológica! reserves of the Tintaya District are considerable,
but those capable of being defined as "minable reserves" are much less. Minable reserves have
been identified in the existing Tintaya open-pit, in the Chabuca Este area, in the Coroccohuayco
area, and in the Chabuca Sur area.
PDMC's plan entails mining, by both open-pit and underground methods, in each of the
four areas mentioned above. The combined reserve óf the deposits will be capable of fully
satisfying the concentrator feed requirements between the years 1995 and 2010. Open-pit ore
from the Tintaya deposit will be mined through 2002, and ore from underground sources will
begin contributing to the concentrator feed in 1998. After 2002,the majority of the concentrator,
ore will origínate from the underground mines. A discussion of the mine concentrator and
infrastructure for the PDMC plan follows:
B. MINE PLANNING
A block model for the existing Tintaya open-pit was created using blocks which are 12.5-
meters by 12.5-meters by, 15-meters (width by length by height). Each block contains
information as to type of material and copper grade. Material types include; oxide skam, sulfide
skam, and non skam. Mineralization types are not coded in each individual block.

which plunged 45" to the north to account for the dipping ore body. The north-south and east-
west radius was 41 meters, and the vertical radius was 20 meters. After creating the models,
Lynx converted the information.to a format which was acceptable to the mine planning software
used by the Morenci Miñe Planning Department.
i
I
I A design of the remaining portion of the existing Tintaya open-pit was performed by the
Morenci Mine Planning Department with the use of MEDSystem mine planning software. With
this software, a floating cone analysis was performed to evalúate the economic valué of mining
^ch block within the model. A copper price of$0.85 was used for the evaluation, and no valué
was given to blocks coded as oxidized copper material since no facilities for leach copper
n recovery are iñcluded in the PDMC plan. The remaining pit design parameters that were used
in the floating cone analysis are listed in the following table:
4-2
! As indicated in the table, a pit slope of 35 ■ was designéd in the northwest quadrant due
to sloughing, and the slope elsewhere was designed at 43^2 (The 43^2° slope resulted from
designing haul roads into a pit designed at a slope of 45-.) This slope design is less steep than
the 49" slopes that Tintaya cuirently uses throughout the pit. The cost parameters for the design
were based on Tintaya's reported year-to-date costs thrbugh October 1993.
After achieving a pit design based on the floating cone analysis, mining limits were
smoothed and adjusted for haulage. Haul road designs followed the current Tintaya design
practices of 22 meters in width at an 8% grade. The resulting pit included the mining (by
open-pit methods) of the upper section of the eastem side of the Chabuca Este deposit. The
resulting minable reserves of the Tintaya pit are listed in the table titled "Tintaya District
Minable Reserve" on page 4-6.
j
j
I The Chabuca Este deposit has the shape of a vertical bed which appears to lie less
vertical with depth. Continuity of the deposit has not been determined due to a lack of drilling
information at depth. Immediately south of the Chabuca Este deposit, a small synclinal shaped
ore body has been^ identified; however, lack of sufficient drilling prevents it from being
identified as a minable ore reserve. This deposit lies undemeath and to the west of the PDMC
designed Tintaya open-pit. The following figure contains a typical cross section of the deposit
and indicates the spacial relationship of the ultimately designed open-pit.

i
I The reserves for the Coroccohuayco underground deposit were determined by RME and
were calculated by adjusting the Tintaya Eiigineering Department's estímate by an appropriate
recovery and dilution factor. This deposit has been defined solely by surface drilling and
áppears to be a massive ore body exhibiting greater continuity than other deposits in the district.
Additionally, the deposit is open ended in three directions, indicating a potential for additional
ore. In order to better define the ore zone, RME has recommended an extensive defmition
drilling program as part of Coroccohuayco's pre-prodiiction phase.
I
I Reserves for the relatively small open-pit deposit at Chabuca Sur were initially
determined by a Lerchs-Grossman floating cone analysis performed by Lynx Geosystems. The
floating cone parameters they used were similar to those used by PDMC to design the Tintaya
(existing) pit. The Lynx results were adjusted downwards by PDMC when it became apparent
that their block model of the deposit had used block sizes which were smaller than the mínimum
possible mining unit. To compénsate for the pfoblem, the reserve grade from the Lynx's
^álysis was decreased by 25% to account for anticipated dilution. This deposit will not be
mined as a main source of ore but rather to help fulfill the daily ore delivery requirements.
!
I The following table summarizes the minable reserves for eách deposit. The open-pit ore
grades that are shown will be lower^ by 10% when determining the concentrator head grade
in order to allow for dilution and sampling errors. The underground reserves that are Usted
already account for recovery and dilution (85% recovery and 12% dilution).

\ Tintaya District Minable Reserves as of 1/1/1993
The summary of the district mine plan and district production sequencing is shown in the
able on the following page. A mine-to-mill discrepancy factor of 10% was applied to the open-
pit ore grades when calculating the concentrator head grades for Cu, Au, and Ag to account for
dilution and sampling errors. The underground reserve tonnage and grades have already taken
dilution into account.

[1995 through
Detailedtheannual mine plans were designad for the existing Tintaya open-pit for the
end of the pit's Ufe in 2001. These annual mine plans can be found in
years
kppendix B. The 1994 mine plan followed those plans proposed by the Tintaya Engineéring
Department, since possession of the propeity could not occur until sometime in the latter part
pf 1994. PDMC's mine plans were designed to supply the mili with 3.0 million tonnes of ore
in 1995 (8,500 tonnes per day for 350 days) and 3.2 million tonnes of ore per year there after
(9,000 tonnes per day for 360 days). Currently, 2.7 million tonnes of ore are miUed each year
(8,0(K) tonnes per day for 337.5 days). The projected ore delivery increase is due to planned
de-bottlenecking of the milling flotation circuit.
The proposed mine.plan includes stripping located on the sputhwest side of the existing
Tintaya pit to uncover shallow ore located over the eastem side of the Chabuca Este deposit,
Additionally, stripping in the ñorthwest and northeast comers of the pit will uncover both and
shallower and deeper ores. While the majority of the stripping takes place, ore deUvery
requirements will be met from benches at the bottom of the pit. Significant savings in haulage
cycle times will be realized while the stripping activity is táking place since a majority of the
jvaste haulage will be to a waste rock stockpile located on the westem side of the pit. Waste
rock stockpiles west of and north of the existing pit will be utilized in this proposed plan. Both
^eas are situated in large canyons with adequate dumping capacity.
For the Chabuca Este underground deposit, RME was consulted to select an appropriate
mining method and to estímate the capital and operating costs. At this deposit, where several
iarge discontinuities are present, the underground mining method selected is a mechanized cut
and fill stopping. On average, the stopes will be six-meters wide and as long as the ore body
geometry allows. Horizontal cuts will be taken every five-meters. The sandfiU system will
consist of slurried mili tailings and cement piped to the stopes which require filling.
Development requirements at Chabuca Este include 6,750 meters of drifts and declines
ánd 1,000 meters of vertical raises. Ore which is extracted from the stopes will be transponed
down a series of ore passes to levels which open into the existing Tintaya open-pit(on the 4000
level initially and the 3885 level eventually). From there the ore will be transponed via
I I contractor owned trucks to the mili. The planned mine Ufe of the Chabuca Este underground
deposit is 16 years, including development.
L'
4-8
Coroccohuayco Underground
J ' The selected mining methods in the Coroccohuayco deposit are mechanized cut and fiU
stoping (50% of total) and blast-hole stoping (50% of total). The blast-hole stopes will each
be 20-meters high and lO-meters wide, and will be mined as adjacent pañels with each panel
being filled after it is mined. The length of each panel will be determined by the geometry of
the ore body. Large hole drills will be usad to drill the blast-holes, and muck will be removed
jviá remote-controlled load/haul/dump equipment (LHD). The sandfill system will cpnsist of
screened material from surface being delivered to an underground sandplant via a bore hole.
Cement will be added and the fill material will be loaded into haulage trucks and delivered to
the stópes, where D-6 dozers will be used to spreád the fill.
I -
I The mechanized cut and fill stopes will be located in areas where blast-hole stoping
would not be possible due to irregularities in shape, poor ground conditions or narrowness of
the ore body. These stopes will be five-meters high by five-meters wide. Drilling will be done
with twin-boom jumbos, and mucking will be performed with LHD's.
I
j Sublevéis will be driven each 20 meters and haulage levels each ÍOO meters. Ore
extractad from the stopes will be hauled with LHD's to ore passes which will transfer ore to
haulage levels. The ore will be hauled in 26-tonne haul trucks to ore passes which will feed an
underground crusher. After being crushed, the ore will be transferred to sn underground storage
bin and will then be hoisted to surface and trucked by contractor to the concentrator.
The mine is designed to have a production rate of 5,000 mtpd, and development
requirements include 19,710 meters of drifts and declines,, 2,100 meters of vertical raises, and
425 meters "of a six-meter diameter vertical shaft. The deposit is expected to have a 16 year Ufe,
including development. Although the déposit contains higher grade material than other deposits
in the district, it's mining will be delayed due to the four-year pre-production phase ^d
associated capital costs. RME recommends a two-year exploratión/reserve definition phase
ifollowed by a two year development/construction phase. After bringing the mine into
production, ongoing development will include excavating 1,750 meters pf sublevéis per year.
I The Chabuca Sur open-pit will be stripped of its waste cap when surplus equipment from
thé existing Tintaya pit becomes available in 1998. Due to the deposit's expected low-grade,
it will not be mined as a main source of ore but rather to help ftilfiU the daily ore delivery
requirements. Haulage requirements during the stripping phase are expected to.be low since the
deposit is relatively shaUow and the waste stockpiles will be located cióse to tíie deposit.

Summarv of Annual Mine Plans
The mining of each deposit was sequenced to most econonücally exploit the district*s
reserves. Highiights of the plan are summarized in the following table:

V. Mine Equipment
! Open-pit Equipment
I As discussed in Section 2, two types of haulage trucks are currently in use at Tintaya.
A fleet of 17 Wabco units (77-tonne) has been in use since 1983, and a fleet of seven Belaz
(Russian) units (109-tonne) has been in use since 1990. The Wabco trucks have performed well
at Tintaya; however, several are approaching the end of their economic life(50,000 hours). The
Belaz units have not performed well with low availability and parts that are expensive and
difficult to obtain. As a consequence, the original fleet of seven trucks has diminished to an
pperating fleet of three.
I A detailed haulage analysis was conducted in conjunction with the design of the annual
mine plans to estimate haulage truck requirements. Haulage profiles were measured, availability
^d utilization estimates were made, and a replacement/addition schedule for trucks was
determined. Utilization and availability factors are similar to valúes used at other PDMC mines
^d are based on the age of the truck.
I
^ The Cat 785 haul truck, with an 118-tonne capacity, was selected for replacement and
additional haulage units. The estimated cost with tires, freight, duty and assembly is $1.15
million per unit. Tintaya's truck shop can adequately handle this size of truck,
The existing Tintaya open-pit operation requires long hauis as a result of relatively deep
mining. However, in 1995, the Tintaya open-pit will have substantially reduced waste haulage
requirements, and the waste loading capacity will be shifted to stripping requirements to the
expansión into the Chabuca Este area and to the northwest comer of the pit. The haul distances
for both areas will be much shorter than those experienced from the bottom of the Tintaya open-
pit. Therefore, the required number of trucks in the fleet will decrease even though the tonnage
per day will increase,
I The following table lists the year's estimated haulage cycle time as well as the truck fleet
requirements and planned retirements/purchases over the life of the district. Additional
Information can be found on the Truck/Shovel Production calculation sheets in Appendix B.

The loading and drilling equipment is estimated to be adequate for the proposed tonnage
in the mine plan. As discussed in Section 2, two 12-cubic-yard shovels, two 6-cubic-yard
shovels, two 10-cubic-yard front end loaders and three B&E 45-R dxills are utilized at Tintaya.
Current operations are limited by the number of trucks in operation. The annual Tintaya open-
pit availability for the shovel fleet is expected to average between 75% and 78%, with utilization
expected to be between 23% and 60%. Excess shovel loading capacity in the years 1998
through 2000 will be used to develop the Chabuca Sur open-pit. Since the shovel fleet should
adequately handle the loading requirements, the plans designed by PDMC do not anticípate use
of the front end loaders to load haulage trucks. Further information on each year's loading
requirements can be found on the Truck/Shovel calculation sheets in Appendix B.

At Chabuca Este, the stopes and development headings will require two-boom jumbos
and LHD's, and haulage trucks will be utilized for hauling ore from stopes to the surface.
Sandfill will be slurried and placed via pipes rather than with additional haulage trucks and
dozers.
At Coroccohuayco, the blast-hole stopes will require the blast hole drills and LHDs and
the cut and fill stopes will require the two-boom jumbos and LHDs. Development headings will
require a jumbo and an LHD as well. Most of the haul trucks will be utilized for placing
sandfill, although some will be used to transfer ore from bore holes to the ore pass which feeds
the crusher. The small dozers will be primarily used to place the fill.

Open-pit Capital
Additional and replacement capital requirements for the Tintaya open-pit include
improving the pit dewatering system, modemizing the engineering/mine planning department,
replacing haulage and support equipment, and preparing Chabuca Sur for mining (establishing
Utilities and relocating 1.7 kms of the road to Arequipa which lies over the westem side of the
deposit). Although the existing auxiliary equipment for the open-pit is adequate and no additions
are anticipated, capital for replacement of Üie existing equipment is estimated to be $0.4 million
per year for the Tintaya pit and $0.2 million per year for the Chabuca Sur pit. The amount of
replacement capital is expected to drop in the final years of each deposit's Ufe. A summary of
each pit's estimated capital requirements is shown in the table below:

Total 19,560
All equipment costs include provisions for ocean freight, port fee, duty, inland freight,
and assembly. A 20% contingency has been added to all capital estimates except equipment
purchase estimates (no contingency since recent quotes for equipment purchases were available
to PDMC).
Underground Capital
RME estimated the capital requirements for the underground deposits. At Chabuca Este,
the capital estímate included the cost of purchasing equipment, driving drifts and ramps, drilling
raises, establishing ventilation systems, constnicting a sandfill system, and ongoing replacement
capital. The RME estímate includes a 15% contingency and has provisions for freight and duty.

viii. Mine Emplovment
The following table summarizes the expected employment leveis at the open-pit and underground
deposits:
Open-pit Estímate
For the Tintaya open-pit, average employment in the mine and mine maíntenance is
expected to decrease by 20% due to a planned reduction in the number of "foreman", a re-
distribution of personnel (for example, eliminating the use of employees to spot trucks at
shovels), reduced haulage requirements, and improvements to the availability of the newer
haulage fleet. Employment for the open-pit operations is expected to decrease from the present
172 to approximately 160, and employment for the mechanical department is expected to
decrease from the present 185 to approximately 140. The tables in Appendix B detail the
manpower estimates.
Underground Estímate
For the underground mines, RME estimated that the peak employment requirements will
be 200 for Chabuca Este and 435 for Coroccohuayco. Full employment levels are expected to
be reached in the second year of production for Chabuca Este (1999) and in the third year of
production for Coroccohuayco (2002). At Chabuca Este, first year employment is expected to
be three-quarters of full employment. At Coroccohuayco, first year employment is expected to
be half of full employment, and second year employment is expected to be three-quarters of full
employment. Appendix B details the manpower estímate.

1 C. CONCENTRATOR
I
I The primary bottlenecks in the concentrator are in the grinding and flotation arcas. The
most significant bottleneck is the grinding circuit. The current tonnages can only be moderately
increased (from 8,000 mtpd to 9,000 mtpd) without a major expansión of the current facilities.
This increase is based on evaluation of metallurgical and plant test work as well as the current
operating conditions. The fineness of grind necessary for good recoveries is the limiting factor.
The secondary concentrator bottleneck is cleaner flotation. When higher tonnage and grade days
^e experienced, in the present circuit, the cleaners become overloaded and spillage occurs. The
primary crusher is designed for 1,500 mtph, however the conveyors are only capable of handling
|,300 mtph at máximum belt speeds. The primary crusher has capacity sufñcient for any
planned expansions up to 24,000 mtpd. The secondary/tertiary crushing circuit processes 800
to 1,000 mtph and is capable of handling future expansions of up to 16,000 mtpd without major
wpital expenditures.
I
] No additional de-bottlenecking measures are foreseen for the areas of tailings treatment,
tmlings disposal, concéntrate storage or water supply as the present system has sufficient
capacity to handie the 20% increase in throughput. However, due to the accelerated production
schedule in the concentrator, constniction of a new tailings area will be necessary two years
^lier than the originally planned date of 2005. A water reclamation system, at the existing
tmlings dam, is also planned to, reduce the demand from the Salado river and potential
environmental concems of water quality in the river.
The concentrator currently is budgeted for 8,000 mtpd. It has handied tonnages of up
tp 8,700 mtpd when the ore was available. At these higher tonnages the cleaner circuit has been
the bottleneck and additional flotation cells will be necessary to run 8,500 to 9,000 mtpd
continually. Other methods of flotation (flash/column flotation) are currently being evaluated
for increases in throughput. The 8,500 mtpd capacity may be attainable with the addition of
conventional flotation cells but for tonnages of up to 9,000 mtpd the fineness of grind becomes
critical and other types of cells may be necessary to quickly remove the faster floating copper
particles and allow for removal of the slower floating partióles with the cells now in place. The
I^ox filters may also be a bottleneck with this expansión. Either filter availability will have
tp increase from present levels or an additional unit will be required, to handle the additional
concéntrate produced. Since the Larox filters have been a maintenance problem, it is advisable
to add an additional filter for the increased throughputs.
For any tonnages greater than 9,000 mtpd it will be necessary to add an additional ball
mili, flotation cells and ancillary equipment. An additional regrind mili may also be necessary
at tonnages greater than 9,000 mtpd and concéntrate and tailings thickener capacities would also
have to be investigated. Other areas that will assist in the de-bottlenecking of the concentrator
tp 9,000 mtpd include addition of extra launders to the rougher flotation cells to pulí off more
of the fast floating copper, automation of the grinding circuit and installation of a conditioning
tánk for reagent addition to flotation. A plant test with a column flotation cell is in progress and
4-20
appears to be working well. They are currently waiting for approval to do a plant test using
flash flotation cells.
The additional capital required for the concentrator to achieve and maintain the 9,000
mtpd capacity is shown below by year:
Additional Capital
Year (S 000) Description
1995 $2,865 Additional flotation cells, crusher optimization, additional
filter and tailing water reclamation
1996 700 Plant modifications to support increased tonnages
2000 602 New tailing dam begins
■ 2001 4,155 New tailing dam construction
■ 2002 2,403 Completion of new tailing dam
2005 1-100 Second stage of tailing dam
Total $11,825
For higher tonnages the present reagent scheme should be adequate and includes a
mixture of collectors, frothers and modifiers. The concentrator metallurgical performance is
very good and the metallurgical and plant staff are working on several projects which will
provide opportunities for increased recoveries and concéntrate grades. Current recoveries and
grades of 90.5% recovery and 31% Cu should be attainable for the remainder of the Tintaya
open-pit life. Some potential exists for both increased recoveries and grades with column or
flash flotation. Limited test work has been performed on the other deposits but indications are
that an overall recovery of 90.5% with a 31% Cu concéntrate grade are feasible. Changes in
ore types (more chalcopyrite and possibly some pyrite) in Chabuca Este may result in slightly
lower recoveries and concéntrate grades but this should be balanced by the Coroccohuayco ore
which contains more bomite and is higher grade and therefore should have higher recoveries and
concéntrate grades. Future recovery of by-product gold and silver are estimated to remain the
same as the present operation at 69% and 60%, respectively. Existing plant maintenance
manpower should be sufficient to serve the facilities without additions in the expanded scenario.
The replacement capital for these facilities is estimated to be $350,000 per year from 1995 until
2009.

D. INFRASTRUCTURE
Annualized operating cost for infrastructure (G & A) in 1993 was $9.6 million ($3.1
million at the Lima and Arequipa offices, $2.4 million at the mine office and indirects, and $4.1
million of camp expenses). Based on the 109 million pounds of copper produced at Tintaya, the
ünit cost is $0.088/lb Cu. By traditional Phelps Dodge standards this is quite high compared
to a range of about $0.02 to $0.03/lb Cu at United States mines, Ojos del Salado and the
éstimates for the El Abra and Cerro Verde projects. The major differences between the Tintaya
project G & A and the other mines is that Tintaya is a govemment run mine that supports a
townsite in a remote area resulting in relatively high infrastructure costs. If the mine were to
be planned today, it could be based on a single status camp with rotating shifts as was proposed
for El Abra and as is now functioning at Escondida in Chile yielding substantial cost savings.
)Vhile it might be possible to change the Tintaya townsite to a camp in the long run, this concept
is not included in the plan due to the major complexities associated with a conversión.
However, conversión of the townsite to a camp is considered as an upside potential for the
;)roject.
Streamlining the G & A and reducing manpower is something that can be assumed for
he Tintaya plan since there was sufficient information from the site visit to know that ampie
ópportunities for improvement exist. As noted earlier in Section 2, the G & A area appears to
have excessive regulations, paperwork, and an inadequate data processing and communication
system, all contributing factors to relatively high G & A manpower requirements and resultant
costs. The reduction of costs in the G & A area will require some investment in equipment and
training as discussed later. Based on the inclusión of these investments and reduction of
4-22
manpower in areas believed to be excessive, the estimated annual G & A costs for the project
are presentad below (after 2010 the mine and concentrator throughput is reduced and the G &
A is assumed to decrease to $4.5 million per year);
Year ($ million)
1993 9.6
1994 9.2
1995 8.6
1996-2010 8.1
2011-2012 4.5
Inland freight, road maintenance, sales commissions and port costs associated with
concéntrate shipment from the plant to the port and embarkation are discussed later in this
section and included in the off-site costs, not in the G & A costs. It is also assumed that PDMC
will have two expatriates in key management positions assigned to the project. The cost of these
management personnel is estimated at $0.3 million per year and is included in the above G & A
estimate.
One potential area of general efficiency improvement is the replacement of the relatively
outdated manual systems for data management and updating of the communication system to
reduce delays. To improve labor efficiency and speed the Information process a general
upgrading of the on-site administrativo and general offices with a better communication system
(only 12 voice grade Unes connect Tintaya with the Peruvian national phone system) and a new
data processing system is recommended. This would include microwave capability to the city
of Cusco as this link should have a highly reliable voice and data transmission capabiUty. Also
included would be a "LAN" computer Information system with related software for upgrading
the quality and retrieval speed of information. System implementation would additionally enable
the administrative payroll to be reduced in Lima, Arequipa and at the mine site. The total cost
of this upgrading is estimated at $1 million, spent over two years. In addition, these changes
will require that training be supplied in part by PDMC from the United States and Chile. The
costs of this service are assumed to be provided by PDMC and are not included in the G & A
of Tintaya. The implementation of new communication Unes and information management
system will require fewer, but more qualified persons. As a result, the Lima office will be
considerably reduced in size. Also some administration office improvements are required and
are estimated to cost $0.26 million.
The PDMC plan incorporales a reduction in the annual cost of operating the camps
through the transfer of many services to contractors (this is already underway at Tintaya with
good results). Such an arrangement would reduce the Tintaya manpower requirement.
Under current Peruvian labor legislation, all personnel reductions in forcé must be based
on voluntary resignations by the employees themselves. To induce employees to voluntarily
resign, a common practice in Perú is to use a resignation incentive payment which averages
4-23
ápproximately one year of an employee's present salary. Prior to privatization, Tintaya will be
reducing manpower by about 78 employees using fínancial incentives. This should contribute
to the cost reduction of G & A from $9.6 million in 1993 to $9.2 million in 1994. After
acquisition, another contemplated reduction would include about 70 Tintaya employees and is
estimated to cost about $0.3 million in both 1995 and 1996.
The Matarani port area badly needs upgrading and Tintaya has included money in its
994 capital budget for the construction of fences and for paving a yard on its own land, located
ádjacent to 0.8 hectares of land currently leased ffom Compañía Minera Madrigal. Having its
own facilities will make the belt conveyor/stacker ship loading operations more labor efficient
as well as improve control of dust losses. These upgrades are estimated at $0.56 million
distributed over a two-year period.
The local control system at the pumping station on the Salado River will need to be
changed over to a remote control system in order to reduce manpower requirements. The capital
estimate for this item has been included within the concentrator section of the report. The water
intake system and pipeline were originally designed for a flow of 6,000 gpm. This flow is equal
to the amount of water rights held by the company and is double the amount of make-up water
reponed as being currently used. No restrictions are foreseen regarding water in regard to an
expansión of Tintaya facilities.
I
, As noted in Section 2, the on-site hoteis and lunch room were in only fair condition and
heed to be upgraded to opérate more efficiently and with less manpower. The estimated cost
pf this upgrading is $0.1 million.
I
I
The 180 km road between Tintaya and the town of Cañahuas is maintained by the
company. This portion of the road is the segment which suffers the most deterioration during
the rainy season and the normal annual maintenance cost is estimated to be $0.3 million. In
1994, special repairs (conducted every three-years) will be carried out at a cost of $0.3 million.
pn-site roads for non-mining traffíc at Tintaya and the road connecting the mine site with the
nearby town of Yauri are normally maintained by the company at an annual cost estimated at
$50,000.
The small runway at the local airport is in good condition and requires minimum
maintenance expenditures amounting to $20,000 every three years. This airport is not suitable
for use, however, by regularly scheduled flights of commercial airlines. It is believed that any
upgrade or expansión for commercial flights from this air strip would be quite expensive and
have not been included.
I Replacement capital will be required for general infrastnicture, buses and other vehicles
ánd is estimated to be $0.2 million per year.

According to the current electrical power contract between Tintaya and the power and
ight utílity, Electro Sur Este S.A.(ESESA) the average cost of energy is $0.044/Iwhr. The
expectations at present are that the current rate will not last beyond April 31, 1995, which is the
expiration date of the current power supply agreement between ESESA and Tintaya. Thus, from
May 1, 1995 on, the most likely rate will be somewhere near that which energy commands on
he local free market or an average of $0.055/kwhr.
j The local power generating plant produced an average 1% of Tintaya*s energy demand
during the last year. This annual avérage has varied on a monthly basis in recent years from
0.08% to 14.7% of the monthly power consumption, Tintaya officials anticipate that the local
power plant will be included in the Tintáya privatization package and that Tintaya may sell the
power plant or the power to third parties. It is assumed that the power plant would be used
solely for present or expanded power needs of the project and that the plant will not be sold.
Some of the Tintaya concéntrate will be smelted and refined in Perú. However, for the
évaluation, it is assumed that the costs will be based on all concéntrate being shipped off-shore
through Matarani, as local smelting and refining rates are adjusted to off-shore rates including
the additional freight. In December 1993, Tintaya made a tender award of a trucking contract
for the inland freight of 170,000 tonnes of concéntrate at an average rate of $21.30/tonne.
Assuming that 20% of the concéntrate output will still be transported by rail to Matarani from
the railhead at Cañahuas, the average mine-to-port haulage cost for 1994 is estimated at
$30.47/tonne of concéntrate FOB Matarani. This cost includes Tintaya/Cañahuas road
maintenance and is based on the inland freight rate obtained through the December 1993 tender
and the cost forecasts for port services during 1994 excluding marketing and sales costs. The
total cost per tonne of concéntrate including logistics and marketing is estimated at $34 per tonne
of concéntrate.
E. EXPLORATION
As discussed in Section 3 of this report, $3 million (spent in 1995 and 1996) is the
estimated cost of the defmition drilling to verify the existing resources in the Tintaya district.
Xdditional exploration, although a logical investment ifPDMC acquired Tintaya, is not required
for the project plan. Thus, ongoing exploration costs wóuld only amount to $0.2 million per
year for claims maintenance and some administrative costs (pit drilling and geological support
for the open-pit operations is included in the open-pit operating cost). The annual exploration
expenditures for the defínition drilling ahd claims maintenance are presented below:

I
A. POLITICAL CLIMATE
I
I
I
I
i. Overview
I
I Political risk analysis is a complex area subject to a wide variety of opinions and is
influenced by circumstances which are constantly changing. Although the current Phelps Dodge
review is relatively short, it captures all of the key issues which mold Peru's complex political
environment.
1
I
i With the election of President Alberto Fujimori in 1990, Perú has undergone major
structural changes in an attempt to revitalize its economy. The two principal areas of change
^e the privatization of State owned businesses and the encouragement of foreign investment.
While the ultímate success of the changes which have been put in place is yet to be fully
ünderstood, the changes in Peruvian law have currently created one of the best "legislative"
environments for foreign investment and mining in South America. The International political
isolation that occurred when President Fujimori disbanded the legislature, announced judicial
reforms, and took strong measures to control terrprism, appears to have softened, with limited
International money now available for investment in Peni.
i Potential roadblpcks continué to exist which may destabilize'the new laws which have
peen put in place. Failure to allocate portions of the proceeds from privatization to address
I ! social issues could result in a political backlash thereby resulting in roadblocks to reform.
Allocation of a portion of the privatization proceeds would go a long way towards developing
popular acceptance of the economic model and wpuld assist in fostering an environment
conducive to long-term economic and political stability ih the country.
i
I Additionally, presidential elections to be held durihg 1995 could replace President
Fujimori's coalition govemment with another party which could modify the current pro^
investment environment. It appears, however, that the parties who would likely be able to gain
I)ower over Fujimori*s coalition govemment, either individually or through a coalition, would
continué the principal elements of the economic and foreign investment strategies of the Fujimori
govemment.
t , ,
i Unless the hew laws continué generating positive economic change, other elements in the
country which appear to have been signifícantly reduced in power may again reassert themselves.
Although Perú has been successful in capturing most of the leaders of the two principal groups
of térrorists (Sendero Luminoso (the Shinirig Path) and the Movimiento Revolucionario Ttípac
Amaru (MRTA)), isolated incidents of terrorism continué. It is anticipated that these incidents
will continué, at least over the short-term, with the govemment taidng aggressive steps to
5-1
counter such activities. Should the Peruvian economy stagnate, Ihese incidents may become
more frequent and aggressive.
With Peru's persistent recession and the United States and other countries' continuing
demand for cocaine, it has been very difficult for the Peruvian govemment to control the
production of coca leaves and the associated flow of drug money and influence, particularly in
the northeastem part of the country. A revitalized economy represents the best hope for the
govemment to create viable economic altematives for the coca growers in northeastem Peni. -
The judiciary system is also problematic, with corruption and "inadequate" judges
creating a significant lack of confidence in the system. President Fujimori has announced his
intent to introduce significant reforms to the judicial system. However, without a strong
commitment to increase the salaries and the qualifying requirements to be a judge, this probiem
will likely persist.
Prospects for political stability have improved markedly in the last year with the election
of a new Congress after President Fujimori dissolved the Congress in April 1992. A new
Constitutional law was promulgated in December 1993, enacting important political and
economic reforms that give further legal stability to the reformist policies and altitudes of the
new Congress.
Additionally, the new Congress recently approved new legislation allowing for the
possibiíity of re-election of an incumbent President (for the first time), but limited the Presidency
to two consecutivo terms of five years each. Given President Fujimori's current popularity, it
is likely he will be re-elected and his party remain in power through the year 2000.
The April 5, 1992, disbandment of Congress, resulted in the virtual demise of several
major traditional partios. It is uncertain what might rise out of the ashes and whether President
Fujimori can transíate his popular support into a strong political organization, however, the
current sentiment is that there is not an individual or political group able to defeat President
Fujimori in the scheduled 1995 election. Given the relatively uneducaled nature of the general
population, if Fujimori is unable to show positivo economic results in jump-starting the economy
within this year, things may chango quickly.
The unexpected death of President Fujimori could also cause instability in Perú.
President Fujimori appears to be a very charismatic leader. However, he has also been very
strong handed and has pushed many of the other partios into a somewhat dormant position from
their prior status. In the event of the death of President Fujimori, there is the possibiíity of a
5-2
political vacuum being created, with associated political instability as a replacement is selected.
V
Given the current majority in the Legislature enjoyed by the coalitíon between Fujimori's party
the Nueva Mayoría, it is likely that Jaime Yoshiyama, tiie President of the Congress and
elose fríend of Fujimori, would replace President Fujimori until the next Presidential election.
^ether Yoshiyama would be successful in continuing in power after the next election is
uncertain.
Based upon discussions with individuáis in Perú, most bélieve that any party that would
be successful against Fujimorí's party would continué the economic and foréign investment
policies of the Fujimori govemment. Many individuáis in Peni believe it would be almost
impossible to significantly alter the direction of the Fujimori govemment due to the current
policies of Peru's donor nations,, those of the intemational finance community and Peru's
significant dependence on these entities.
Decree No. 674^ initiated the prívatization of state owned companies. The govemment
intends to reduce its involvement in areas which are typically the jurísdiction of prívate
companies and to reduce the bureaucracy which has developed by limiting its task to providing
services which are "social functions" ¿ublic health, education, justice administration, basic
securíty and public facilities). Atpresent, approximately 35% ofPeru's Gross Domestic Product
(IgPD) is in State hands. Fujimorí's intention is to eliminate state-owned companies through an
aggressive prívatization program. There have been some clear signs of success. The
prívatization of 35% of the shares of Peru's two phone companies was awarded recently to
Telefónica de España for an up-front payment of $2 billion. Two other phone companies, GTE
^d Southwest Bell bid over $800 million each. The prívatization process has had some
disappointments. Cerro Verde received only one bid at a príce at the low end of expectations.
Foreign exchange regulations have been extensively modified. There are no restríctions
ór formalities on possession, transfer and remittances, locally or abroad in foreign currency.
Individuáis are free to remit foreign currency abroad or maintain foreign currency accounts in
Peni. No approvals are required to set up off-shdre accounts.
Peni has taken major steps to simplify its tax structure. Decree Law No. 25988
éliminates 38 of thé 44 categories of federal taxes which were in place. The principal taxes
currently in place, are the income tax (30%), the valué added tax or general sales tax (18%),
Md the excise tax (10-75% depending on the type of goods and services). Nevertheless
Peruvian corporations remain subject to a minimum annual income tax of2% of their asset book
valué, which is not deductible as a credit for future income tax payment.
*In Peni there are at least four types of Decrees. The "Decree Law" is from the executive
branch óf govemment. The "Supreme Decree", "Decree", and "Legislative Decree" are other
forms of law from the executive and legislative branches that supply the regulation and legal
interpretation of laws.
5-3
Supreme Decree 024-93-EM which was passed in June 1993, regúlales the guarantee and
promotion of mining. This decree prevenís Ihe taxation of profits which are reinvested lo
expand production and investments made in infrastruclure that will benefit the public such as
roads, schools, hospitals, etc. This may be of limited valué wilh the removal of the corporate
equily tax.
Legislative Decree No. 668 substantially reduced the administrative burden on importing
and exporting goods from Perú. Essentially, this Decree eliminated all administrative
restrictions or limitations on the importation of goods and services íncluding the need lo secure
prior authorization to do so.
There is, however, a substantial financial consequence for imports consisting of a custom
duty of either 15% or 25% depending on the nature of the goods imported, a general sales tax
of 18%, and an excise tax with rates between 10% and 75% for a reduced list of products (cars,
cigarettes, liquors, etc.). There are essentially no restrictions on exportation (either
administrative or fínancial). Companies exporting goods have the right to total or partial refunds
for laxes imposed on the import of goods used in the production of the export,
Import duties applicable to equipment and machinery for the mining sector are 15% and
the valué added tax is applied on the CIF valué plus the 15% import duties. These import duties
may be subject to deferred payment(up to 48 monthly installments) with interest charged on the
installments. However, this benefit is only available for imports with clearance documents ñled
on or before December 31, 1994. Refund of customs duties is not contemplated by the Peruvian
legislation in the future.
Valué added tax (VAT)paid in the acquisition of goods and services or from construction
contracts, including the tax applied to imports, give an exponer tille to a "credit balance". This
credit balance can be: (i) deducted from VAT to be payable to the State; (ii) if there is no VAT
payable, it can be credited against income tax; (iii) if there is no income tax due, it can be
credited against any debt arising from other taxes; or,(iv) if no other altemative is applicable,
reimbursement by the State of the credit balance is made by means of "Negotiable Credit
Notes", which can be traded in the local market.
Extensive modifications of the labor law have occurred, however, there is still significant
protection for the rights of employees which exceed those of many developing countries. For
instance, a worker hired under an indefinite duration contract cannot be dismissed except for
cause. Decree Law No. 25897 decreases the govemment's role in managing pensión programs
by allowing for the creation of prívate pensión funds, similar to those found in Chile. This is
intended to develop and strengthen the social security and pensión systems.
iv. Economy
While most analysts agree that Perú needs further economic improvement before they will
consider Peru's economy recovered, there have been some impressive benchmarks. Inflation
5-4
fell from 7,460% in 1990 to 39% in 1993 and is forecast to be approximate 20% in 1994. GDP
growth in 1993 achieved a record rata of 6.8% and is forecast to be still higher in 1994.
Net International reserves increased from a déficit of $200 million in July 1990 to a
surplus of $2.7 billion in December 1993.
The Peruvian stock market has shown increased vibrancy. The Lima Stock Exchange
Index increased by 89% in dollar terms in 1993 following a 126% gain in 1992.
V. Terrorism
Headway has been made in the govemment's actions against terrorism. The vast majority
of the leadership of the two primary terrorist movements are now either in jail or deceaswl and
popular support for their causes has dropped substantially. The capture of Abimael Guzman,
the leader of the Shining Path, highlighted the govemment's success in this area. Recent
military success in thwarting planned campaigns and providing amnesty for defectors may signal
the end of these movements. Further, the Peruvian Congress has started discussing the
imposition of the death penalty which, if applied to terrorists involved in actions resulting in
death or loss of public property, or drug lords, could act as a further deterrent for these groups.
A recent cali for a nationwide armed strike by the Shining Path resulted in only isolated
incidents and minor work slowdowns. However, it is quite possible that the Shining Path will
continué as a small terrorist movement with the capacity to conduct limited attacks.
There are two geographic areas where the Shining Path retains some visible presence:
the southem area of the Ayacucho región and the rural areas of the Ancash región. Both areas
are to the north of Tintaya. However, peasant patrols have been very successful in reducing its
presence. Particular care should be exercised in conducting business in these areas.
The MRTA, the other significant terrorist movement in Peni, is viewed as being on the
verge of liquidation. Serious intemal divisions, capture of national leaders, and massive
desertion has crippled the organization. However, like the Shining Path, the MRTA retains its
ability to carry out periodic actions.
B. ENVIRONMENTAL
i. Overview
Tintaya is an open-pit mine which principally processes copper sulfíde ore. The primary
extraction method is milling and flotation to produce a copper concéntrate. Historically, the
focus has been on operations and worker safety while environmenial consequences have taken
a secondary position, The major areas of potential exposure are geotechnical stability of the
tailings impoundment, groundwater contamination, hazardous material treatment and fugitive
dust. However, according to the January 28, 1994 report prepared by Pincock, Alien & Holt
5-5
(PA&H), "the Tintaya project can be characterized as a modem facility with environmental
Controls that approach North American standards".
Tintaya has limitad groundwater and no air quality monitoring programs, therefore, the
Jull scope of the problems discussed in this section have not been quantified. If Phelps Dodge
is the successful bidder, it should attempt to negotiate indemnities from the Peruvian govemment
for prior operations, the scope of which will have to be defined.
Groundwater and surface water contamination pose the most significant risk and may
óccur in several areas of the operations. "^^e interrelationships, if any, between groundwater
Md surface water associated with Tintaya and the downstream Rio Salado or other drainage
^eas are not currently understoód. Overburden does not appear to be a source of acid
generation apparently due to the buffering impact of limestone found in the waste rock.
Perú has initiated environmental regulations which are generally consistent with those of
u many developing countries. The standards called for by these laws have not been published to
date.
1
It is assumed
■
the standards will be reasonable. However, '
until those standards are
published and regulatory bodies become familiar with them, it is uncertain how they may impact
the project.
Tailings from the concentrator report to a tailings dam located in the drainage area of the
Rio Coamaomayo, an intermittent stream feporting to the Rio Salado. As constructed, the
L- t^lings dam is designed to filter water from the tailings and have it flow downstream to the Rio
Salado. There is significant surface water flow generated from the tailings dam. The surface
water is used by local farms and ranches for domestic and agricultural use. PA&H have alsp
ijeported the tailings dam as currently operated is holding excessive water and while originally
designed for a downstream extensión, in fact, an upstream extensión has been incorporated.
^urther studies are being conducted on the stability of the tailings dam and should be monitored
carefully.
Tintaya personnel report that surface water quality is higher than that of the Rio Salado
ánd is higher than the mínimum drinkiñg,water standard established by the govemment. Regular
Surface water tests are conducted by Tintaya personnel and an independent laboratory. These
^sts show water quality in the Rio Salado is not adversely impacted by Tintaya. Should Phelps
Dodge be the successful bidder, the water quality below the tailings dam should be reviewed
carefully, because of potential downstream tailings slimes and seepages. There are also likely
cost savings which could be realized by recirculating the water. However, any pump-back
systems should evalúate the impact on local downstream uses of the surface water.
In addition to the surface water, it is possible that a portion of the water associated with
the tailings reports to the groundwater. It is unclear what the relationship is between the
groundwater and the surface water in the. area. A few groundwater test wells have been
constructed, however, it is uncertain how accurately or consistently tests have been conducted.
5-6
I ;
The PA&H report concluded "The Tintaya water treatment plañt provides ,a good source of
drinking water to the employees and their townsite. This water meets all applicable standards".
\
Drainage from the mine and the town site flows to the Rio Tintaya, another intermittent
stream which flows to the Rio Salado. Tintaya's personnel stated that water quality from this
drainage does not have an adverse impact on the Rio Salado. This should aiso be confirmed,
The complex has four sewage treatment facilities which handle the sewage generated by the
operations (it should be noted that only one of those systems was working dúring our visit). It
appears that these systems could easily become overloaded creating a downstream problem.
However, Tintaya personnel indicated all tests of the waters of the Rio Salado done by the
Health Sector Authority have shown "acceptable levels of contamination". Thus, the General
Direction for Health Environment has continuously authorized Tintaya to dispose its sewage
waters into the Rio S^ado. The last authorization was given through Certifícate No. 022/V-93
which is in forcé until June 16th, 1998.
Groundwater contamination can also occur through the use of spent oils for dust control
6n the roads around the mine. The use of spent oils appears to be a common dust control
^ethod in most mining operations in Perú.,
While of limited use, the current methods at Tintaya for the use, storage and disposal of
hazardous materials such as lixiviants, kerosene, lead, and asbestos could pose potential
problems to workers' health and should be evaluated. Several of these products create toxic
fumes and their impact could be modifíed by improved ventilation. The mandatory use of
u-
i;espirators would also reduce the health risks associated with exposure to these chemicals.
The waste product generated by the processing plant and equipment repair facilities are
¿urrently dumped and buried on-site. It does not appear that the dump areas are lined ñor is
there a specifíc area which is used as a dump. These wastes are treated in a similar fashion at
Southern Peni Copper Corporation and Cerro Verde. While not currently regulated in Perú, it
is likely that fiiture regulations will address these issues. An area should be set aside for
qumping these materials and the apprppriateness of lining considered.
Used asbestos brake linings from trucks are currently deposited in dumps with no attempt
to isolate these linings from the elements or employees. It is also uncertain what precautions
^e being taken to protect employees who work oii these brake linings. Procedures should be
introduced for the appropriate disposal of asbestos.
Petroleum products are currently stored in above ground steel storage tanks ahd appear
o be well maintained. Spillage appears to be associated with fílling tanks and is minimal.
5-7
Because of the dry climate, fugitive dust control could be a continuing issue. Since our
review was during their rainy season, we were not able tó see problem areas. However, PA&H
reports the following:
The utilization of scrubbing systems in the crushing circuit also are some of the
best units on the market. However, one practice that could be improved upon is the
disposal of fines that are collected in the scrubbers. Currently this material is piled
outside the scrubber facilities and is ultimately discharged into Rio Tintaya. It is,
recommended that this material be put into the mili circuit, minimizing any adverse
effects and recovering additional metal valué."
Tintaya currently has no reclamation plan and no accruals for future reclamatiori. Should
Ijhelps Dodge be the successful bidder, an appropriate reclamation program should be developed
and funds allocated to cover its cost.
The mine appears to have a fair safety record. Additional improvements can be expected
irough improved safety programs, similar to those at Phelps Dodge operations. Certain cultural
attitudes about safety will also need to be addressed and modifíed in order for any safety
program to succeed in Peni.
Tintaya has signed an agreement with Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería in order to find
splutions for the tailings dam problems. A team from the university is doing research in order
to 1) improve the efficiency of the tailings dam,2)find a way in which the dam's capacity could
bp extended and, 3) should the building of a new tailings dam be needed, determine its proper
location.
C. LEGAL
We have been informed that the govemment intends to sell Empresa Minera Especial
Tintaya S.A. (Tintaya S.A.) as a stock transaction. As part of the purchase agreement,
appropriate indemnities and warranties will need to be négotiated to protect Phelps Dodge from
any unknown or contingent liabilities and to confirm the status of assets. Tintaya S.A. is a stock
Corporation (sociedad anónima) wholly owned by the Peruvian State.
Tintaya S.A. could be acquired by our Delaware subsidiary PD Perú, Inc., currently in
place and wholly owned by Phelps Dodge Corporation. PD Peni, Inc., at this point owns only
5-8
he exploration activities of Phelps Dodge in Perú. This structure is desirable for several reasons
^d is consistent with the stnicture used for La Candelaria. First, if Phelps Dodge decides to
divest itself of Tintaya S.A., it could sell thé stock of the Delaware subsidiary without incurring
Peruvian tax liability. Second, it would irisulate Phelps Dodge from the acquisition financing
^angements with third party lenders. Third, this structure would allow Phelps Dodge to pledge
the stock of the Delaware subsidiary to third party lenders as part of the security package.
Utilization of this format would also be helpful in the event Phelps Dodge desires to invite
^ditional investors to particípate in Tintaya S.A. Addiüonal investors would particípate in a
like manner to La Candelaria. Phelps Dodge investment for acquiring Tintaya would be
protected through the execution of a stability agreement under the scope of the Foreign
investment Promotion Law as discussed in this section. Future investments for expansions at
'pintaya would be secured by the execution of a sepárate and independent stability agreement
under the scope of the Mining Law.

The legal framework for property rights are found in articles 70 through 73 of the néw
eruvian Constitution, published on December 30, 1993. Under the Constitution, property is
inviolable and is guaranteed by the State, and no individual can be deprived of his rights except
for reasons of national security or public exigency. Even in these circumstances the State is
bound to compénsate the owner. Adequate compensation includes the appraised valué of the
property, plus the resulting damage to the owner. Aiticle 71 of the Constitution expressly states
that regarding property rights, foreigners ~ whether individuáis or legal persons ~ have the same
standing as Peruvians, and no exception ñor diplomatic protection can be invoked.
Without prejudice to the above, the Constitution bans foreigners from directly or
indirectly purchasing or owning, within 50 kilometers from Peru's borders, mines, property,
^orests, water, fuels or energy sources. Failure to comply with this directive is subject to
^orfeiture of any acquired right. Special restrictions and bans for the purchasing, owning and
transferring of certain goods are also in place.
On the other hand, the Civil Code gdvems the inherent conditions and rights to property.
In this sense, property is defined as follows: ".. .the legal power that allows to use, enjoy and
dispose of a good". Property rights shall be exercised in accordance with the social interest and
within the limits of law.
Property is the máximum right an individual can have over a good, which allows him to
use and exploit it in any exclusive manner and for perpetuity. Property can be conveyed by
contract and by devise or intestate succession. Likewise, the owner is fully entitled to create
^sements, rights of way, usufracts, superficial and any pther kind of property rights, as well
as to lease, mórtgage (if it is real estáte) or pledge (if it is personal) property.
In the case of real estáte, article 954 of Civil Code provides that property extends to the
subsoil, surface and projections up to where the exercise of said right is useful to the owner.

However, natural fescarces, mineral deposits and archeological remains, as well as other ítems
govemed by special laws, are excluded from real property.
j
I Mining rights are govemed by the General Mining Law, which unified text was approved
by Supreme Decree No. 014-92-EM dated June 4, 1992. Supreme Decree No. 03-94-EM,
published January Í5, 1994, approved the Regulations to the General Mining Law.
Under said statutes (which govem the exploitation of mineral substances from the soil
or subsoil excepting oil, hydrocarbons, guano deposits, geothermic resources and mineral-
medicinal waters) all mineral resources belong to the State, but may be exploited by the State
ór prívate parties through a concéssión system. Law defines the following as mining activities:
mining sampling, prospecting, exploration, exploitation, general .work, benefit, trading and
transportation.
j Under Articles 2 and 3 of the General Mining Law, sampling, prospecting and trading
^e subject to free competition within the national terrítory, and no concession is required except
where 1) mining concessions have been granted to third parties, 2) fenced or cultivated lots
where mining activities are not allowed, 3) urban areas, 4) 2U"eas reserved for urban expansión,
5) areas reserved for national defense, 6) archeological or public use purpóses. In such cases,
y/rítten permission of the holder or owner or from the competent govemment entity is required.
¡ Article 7 of the General Mining Law expressly recognizes the ríght of individuáis and
jurídical persons ~ whether national or foreign ~ to the exploration, exploitation, benefit,
general work and mining transportation through a concessions system.
Article 9 deals with the mining concession. Under the definition embodied in Article 9,
a mining concession is a property ríght which grants its holder ".. .the ríght to exploration and
exploitation of the mineral resources conferred which may be within an,indefinite depth solid,
limited by corresponding vertical planes to the sides of a square, rectangle or closed polygon,
which comers are referred to Universal Tránsversal Mercator (UTM)coordinates".
The law considers a mining concession as a different and sepárate property ríght from
the real estáte where the concession is located., The concession includes its parts and
accessoríes, even when the latter are located outside the concession periméter.
(
[ Mining concessions are granted in sizes which vary from 100 to 1,000 hectares and, in
the case of sea domairí, from 100 to 10,000 hectares. .Concessions are classified as metallic or
rion-metallic, depending on the kind of substance exploited. No overlapping príoríty can exist
between metallic and non-metallic concessions. However, the concessionaire can change the
substance of the concession initially granted.
I The mining rights of Tintaya over such areas are reviewed and the specific claims shown
in the following:
i . •
j The following mining rights were originally granted in favor of the Peruvian State as
Derechos Especiales del Estado (special State Rights), and assigned to Minero Perú for its
exploitation. Later, in 1991, each of these rights was converted into mining-exploitation
concessions. All of them form the so called "Unidad Económica y Administrativa TINTAYA
(Econpmical and Administrative Unit)" accounting for 1,124 hectares.
i
1
I As original shareholder of Empresa Estatal Mineral Asociada Tintaya S.A., which was
later transformed into Empresa Mineral Especial Tintaya S.A., Minero Peni transferred these
rights to the former, Notwithstanding, no action was.taken in order to formalize the transfers
^d, therefore, Minero Perú still appears as titleholder according to the Public Mining Registry.
No liens affecting these mining rights are currently recorded at the Public Mining Registry.

A number of concessions are included in the legal framework for mining as discussed
in the following.
5-12
The concession for mineral processing grants the right to process, purify, meit of refine
minerals, whether by means of a set of physical, chemical or physical-chemical processes.
Tintaya owns a processing concession located in the District of Yauri, Province of Espinar,
Cusco, covering 350 hectares. This right was granted by means of Directoral Resolution No.
048-93-EM/DGM issued ,by the General Mining Directorate on April 22, 1993. The
rarrespondent title is recorded in Card No. 003318 at the Cusco Regional Mining Registry
Dffice.
The general labor concession grants the right to render auxiliary services to one or more
mining concessions, such as ventilation, sewage, hoisting or exploitation. This type of
concession is not required at this time at Tintaya.
The transport concession grants its holder the right to opérate a continuous massive
ransportation system of mineral products between one or more mining units and one harbor or
processing plant or refinery by means of conveyance belts, pipelines and track cables. This type
óf concession is not required at this time.
Article 37 of the General Mining Law grants, among others, the following rights to
concession holders:
1. Free mining use óf the surface of uncultivated lands within the boundiaries
of the concession.
5-13
4. To request authorization for mining use or easements on the surfaces of
V'
other concessions, provided that they do not affect or interfere with the
V,
holder's mining activities.
1. To work the mining concession, investing the needed resources for the
production of mineral substances. In this respect, the yearly production
shall not be less than an equivalent, in national currency, of U.S. $100
per granted hectare of metallic substances. In the case of nonmetallic
■ substances, the yearly minimum production amounts to U.S. $50 per
hectare.
The holder of a concession is authorized to transfer the same. He can also mortgage the
concession, as well as plédge the personal property he owns involved in the mining activities or
the extracted or treated minerals of his property. As per Article 163 of the General Mining
l^w, for a mining contract to be effective before the Government and third parties, the same
must be formalized by public deed and recorded in the Public Mining Registry. Article 58 of
the General Mining Law provides that a concession is terminated due to caducity, abandonment,
nullity, renouncement and cancellation clauses.

iv. Water Rights
u
I
\
All water in Peni belongs to the State and permits are grantéd upon application subject
to pre-existing rights. The regulations outline priorities upon which the rights are subject.
Preference is given to the needs of citiés, towns livestock. Discretion is given to allocate
any remaining water basad upon the perceived public need. Degradation of the water is
prohibited.
The Constitution regards water as a natural resource and, thus, water can neither be
acquired ñor a prívate property right. The General Water Act, Decree Law No. 17752, enacted
pn July 24, 1969, outlines the water law of Perú. The regulations covering the Decree Law
were issued under Supreme Decree No. 26169-AP, pubíished on December 15, 1969.
The following represent the significant water rights associated with Tintaya:
5-15
L- - 2. Investments in local currency from resources that have the right to be
transferred abroad.
y
4. Reinvestment of dividends.
3. The ríght to execute Stability Agreements with the State ~ provided that
certain conditions relating to amounts of investment and other
qualifications are met ~ guaranteeing for ten years the tax regime in forcé
upon execution of the agreement; free disposal of foreign currency; free
remittance of capital and profits abroad; and non-discríminatory treatment
with respect to domestic investors.
5-16
I-. ! In order tp become a beneficiary of said guarantees, foreign investment shall be
channeled through the National Financial System and registered with the National Commission
ón Foreign Investments and Technology(CONITE). In this respect, every application submitted
before any entity of the Public Administration is considered approved on the same day of its
filing.
I
D. TAX SYSTEM
i. Qverview
I The Framework Law for the National Tax System (enacted by Legislative Decree 771.
published December 31, 1993), significantly reduced the number of taxes and provides that the
fpllowing taxes and contributions remain:
1. IncomeTax
2. Valué Added Tax
3. Excise Tax
4. Customs duties
5. Fees for the rendering of public services, including those charged in
administrative proceedings
I 6. Unique Simplified Regime
I
Domiciled corporations, as well as branches, agencies and permanent establishments of
foreign corporations, are subject to a 30% income tax rate on the corporation's net income. It
is worth noting that starting from January 1, 1994, Legislative Decree No. 774(new Income Tax
law) has eliminated income tax on dividénds, as well as on any other form of distribution of
profits. However, Peruvian corporations remain subject to minimum annual income tax of 29%
of their asset book valué as noted earlier in this section.
I
i
1 An 18% VAT is imposed on sales, services, imports, leasing and specific construction
contracts. It is structured as a multi-phase tax levied only on the valué added at each stage of
the production and circulation of goods and services, which allows the táx paid at the previous
stage to be deducted as a tax credit.
(
L I Under the Income Tax Law, royalties are the consideration paid in money or in goods,
originated by the use of patents, brands, trademarks, designs or models, plans, secret processes
I I
pr formulas and copyright, literary, artistic or scientific properties, as well as all consideration
1 }
I , paid for information related to industrial, commercial or scientific experience. Industrial,
cpmmercial or scientific experience information, is defined ^ all transmissions of secret or non-
s^ret technical, economic, financial or any kind of knowledge related to commercial or
industrial activity. Royalties paid to non-domiciled persons are charged at a 10% income tax
rate.
5-17
I Interest payments on foreign loans are assessed with a 1% income tax, provided they
í^lfill the following requirements:
2. The foreign loan should not accrüe an annual interest higher than the
preferential rate effective in the country of origin, plus three points. Thé
I mentioned three points must cover charges and commissions, premiums
1 and any other additional sum of any kind associated with the interest paid
I to the beneficiary abroad.
I
j When the credit has been granted in the United States, the prime rate plus three points
is considered to be the preferential rate in forcé. In case of loans obtained in the European
market, the Libor rate plus four points is considered to be the preferential rate. If the agreed
I ! interest is higher than the máximum rate mentioned above, an assessment rate of 30% on the
I i
excess will be applied.
j
¡ The production, sale and import of certain goods are assessed an excise tax. Excise tax
rátes very from 10% to 14.2%. Imported goods are assessed with a practically "flat" tariff.
Thefe are only two applicable rates: 15% and 25%.
In general terms, thefe is no signifícant tax advantage of being a foreign branch and a
I^eruvian corporation.. Under the Income Tax Law, both entities are taxed at same rate (30%).
T^e only important difference is that branches of foreign companies are only assessed on their
inconie originated in a Peruvian source; whereas Peruvian coiporations are taxed on their global
income.
A Real Estate Equity Tax is assessed on the valué of real-estate capital. The rate is
'j plrogressive to a máximum of 1 %.
I
i' ! However, under Article 78 of the General Mining Law and Article 9 of Supremo Decree
L No. 024-93-EM, municipal taxes imposed on goods that belong to mining concessionaires shall
only apply to those goods located in urban areas. Likewise, concessions are not be subject to
municipal taxes.

SECTION 6
ECONOMIC EVALUATION
A traditional discounted cash fiow valuation of the Tintaya project, based on the
identifíed minable ore reserves and the PDMC operating plan, was conducted. In addition, an
indicated market valué was determined based on an analysis of prior acquisition prices for other
ácilities on the basis of the identified open-pit and the underground reserves.
Economic analyses of the Tintaya project weré performed based on the PDMC project
^lan in Section 4, which called for a 20% increase in capacity via de-bottienecking of the
existing facilities and mining the open-pit and underground reserves in the proximity of the
present plant. The purpose of this evaluation is to provide Information on the expectéd
^nomic performance of the project. All economic analyses have been conducted on a 100%
^uity project basis but without inclusión of a purchase price.
The results of the economic analyses (based on 1995 fonvard, after-tax cash flows in
Perú and in the United States) over the 16 year period of fuíl concentrator capacity from 1995
uñtil 2010 are presented below for three copper prices (spreadsheets for the base case at all
copper prices are in Appendix E):
Key capital, operating cost and metal price assumptions supporting the economic analyses
and sensitivities to the $1.00/lb copper price base case are summarized as follows:

I Economic analyses were also performed for the scenarios of Tintaya operating as an
ppen-pit operatíon oníy and an undergroünd operation only. The open-pit ore (26 million
tonnes) and underground ore (28 million tonnes) are almost equal over the Ufe of the project.
The NPV comparisons at $1.00/lb Cu in the U,S. are presentad in the table below for discount
rates of 11%, 13% and 15%:
NPV in Smillion
Discount(%) 11 13 15
Open-Pit $92 $ 86 $ 81
Underground 25 17 10
Total $117 $103 $91
\ The table above shows the relative attractiveness of the open-pit operation compared
to the underground operation on a discounted basis. This NPV advantage is due to a variety of
factors including the timing of the underground operation (beginning four years into the
property's Ufe) and its higher capital spending requirements, significantly reducing the
underground operation's NPV.
!
Figure 6-1 on the following page shows the non-discounted cumulative cash flow
throughout the project Ufe. Again, the relative attractiveness of thé open-pit operation compared
to the underground operation is apparent due to the higher capital and operating cost for the
underground operation. However, on a non-discounted basis this attractiveness is offset by the
higher grades of the underground ore.

The Tintaya property has two very distinct sets of reserves: those associated with the
existing open-pit operations (Tintaya and Chabuca Sur totaling 33 million tonnes) and those
associated with the potential underground operations(Chabuca Este and Coroccohuayco totaling
53 million tonnes). The delineation of these reserves is nécessary as the historical market valúes
óf operating properties and development properties are very different. Additionally, the Tintaya
deposits have appreciable gold and silver by-products, theréfore a contained copper equivalent
must be calculated prior to the determination of market valué based on this approach. The
equivalent copper for the Tintaya reserves is shown below:
A historical database of past acquisitions (147 Western world copper acquisitions over
¿e period of January 1985 through April 1992) of 23 producing stage and 56 early exploration
stage copper acquisitions were used to determine unit acquisition prices for this analysis. The
result of this analysis is an average expected acquisition cost per pound of equivalent copper of
$0.055/lb Cu for producing properties and $0.014/lb Cu for exploration potential(see Appendix
E). This translates to an implied market valué of $118 million ($77 million for the existing
Open-pit reserves and $41 million for the potential underground reserves).
Another measure of market valué is the 1993 acquisition of Cerro Verde in Perú for $37
million. The geológica! reserve tonnage of 794 million tonnes and grade of 0.64% Cu results
in an acquisition price of $0.003/lb. Cu which is much lower than the average $0.055/lb Cu or
$0.014/lb Cu calculated above. The market price may be less than the above noted average
acquisition price due to some of the less desirable features of Cerro Verde such as the relatively
Ipw copper grade of the deposit, the infrastructure needs such as water and power and possibly
due to its location in Peni.
6-5
I ^ ; The average unit market valúes of $0.055/lb Cu for producing properties and $0.014/15
1 Cu for undeveloped reserves and the unit market price of $0.003/15 Cu for Cerro Verde along
with the calculation of an expected market valué are shown in the tahle below:
I As can be seen, the acquisition pnce ranges from $13 million based on the Cerro Verde
acquisition price to $118 million using the historical acquisition market prices. The above
analysis does not include any valué for the potential reserves from surface reconnaissance (142
million tonnes) or from the oxide ore (25 million tonnes). However, as there is more
uncertainty about the potential of these reserves they should have a smaller valué than that
associated with development properties (i.e., $0.014 per pound of contained copper).
I
The Tintaya acquisition price will be based on numerous subjective variables such as the
quality of the project and reserves, their location and the aggressiveness of the bidders. In
addition, as noted in the discussions on the competitive cost curve in Section 7, any price
premium for potential reserves will be related to the possibility of extracting these resources by
ppen-pit means. These reserves do not have as high a valué in an underground operatioñ sincé
their cash operating costs of $0.70/15 Cu are above the average for present operating mines.
Thus, in all likelihood, Tintaya will sell at a premium to the expected market price only if the
bidders believe that the potential reserves can be mined by open-pit methods, or if the bidders
believe their skills are sufficient to make the underground operations much more competitive.
I In developing the Tintaya discounted cash flow evaluation, numerous assumptions were
made and are summarized as foUows(the assumptions are discussed in greáter detall in Sections
2, 3 and 4):
1. The productipn plan for the open-pit mines was developed with a cutoff grade of
0.65% total copper to maximize Üie valué of the mine resources.
2. The open-pit mine plan is based on a floating cone evaluation of the existing
Tintaya open-pit and of Chabuca Sur deposits.
6-6
3. The project runs through year 2010 which is íhe last year of full production.
4. The miné to mili discrepancy was estimated at 10% for the existíng Tintaya open-
pit and Chabuca Sur. .
5. The operatíons of the underground mines were assümed to be less profítáble than
the open-pit mines and therefore their start-up was delayed as long as possible.
6. The underground mine plans' grade and reserves were developed by Redpath-
Mclntosh and are based on'the geological reserves for the Chabuca Este and
Coroccohuayco deposits.
7. The open-pit and underground mine capit^ requirements are based on U.S. dollar
quotes for mine equipment in the U.iS., Perú, and Chile and include freight,
duties and assembly costs.
8. The open-pit mine operating costs were based on 1993 Tintaya costs and were
modified to account for projected increases and as a resuU of detailed haulage
analysis.
10. Concentrator recoveries were assumed to be 90.5% for copper, 69% for gold and
60% for silver based on earlier test work and the results of the present
8,000 mtpd plant.
12. The concentrator operating costs were based on 1993 unit costs for the present
Tintaya operations. The unit costs were adjusted for anticipated increases in
future power costs in Peni from the present $0.044 to $0.Ó55/kwhr.
13. Concéntrate grades óf 31% Cu were assumed based on the existing 8,000 mtpd
plant and test work on the planned ore deposits.
14. Although some of the ore at Tintaya contains molybdenite, the grades in all the
deposits is estimated to be below a level for economic recovery and a plan to
recover it was not included in the analysis.
15. The costs of exploration are assumed to be $0.2 million per year for claims
management with no further exploration since the plan for Tintaya only mines
ores that have already been found and are considered minable.
6-7
16. The PDMC plan assumes that concéntrate will be shipped te.the Peruvian port at
Mataran! and then overseas for smelting and refining and for sale as cathode.
Although some of the total concéntrate cóuid be smelted at the lio smelter, their
smelting and refining charges are adjusted to be equivalent to overseas smelting
including freight, so the offshore smelting and refining rates are used on all
concéntrate.
17. A $34/tonne of concéntrate inland freight charge ,was assumed based on existing
contracts, along with an in-transit concéntrate loss of 0.2%.
18. The study used ocean freight of $40/tonne of concéntrate, smelting charges of
$100/tonne of concéntrate and refining charges of $0.10/lb Cu. Metal smelting
recovery of 96% and refinery recovery of 93% for gold and 90% for silver are
used.
19. The analysis is based on an evaluation using mid-year 1995 forward economics,
which includes all expenditures beginning with 1995.
20. The evaluation assumes 100% equity with no debt financing and with no
acquisition price included.
21. The evaluation assumes a discount rate for the base case of 11% with sensitivities
of 13% and 15%.
a) Income Tax
6^
c) Dividend Remittance Tax
d) Workers* Participation
24. Depreciation and depletion are calculated using the straight-line method over the
mine life for buildings and five years for all machinery and equipment for income
tax purposes. For book income a 12-year straight-line depreciation method is
used for all machinery and equipment. No depletion expense is allowed in the
current Peruvian tax system.
25. Development costs which include pre-stripping for Chabuca Sur and development
costs for both underground mines are expensed as incurred for tax purposes but
amortized over the life of the mine for book purposes.
26. Working capital for the project consists of accounts receivable and accounts
payable (initial supply inventory is assumed to be part of the acquisition price).
Accounts receivable is calculated for monthly revenue based on a 30-day
collection period. Accounts payable for cash operating costs is based on a 30-day
payment cycle.
27. It is assumed that excess cash on hand, after payments of legally allowed
dividends at the end of each operating year, will be repatriated as a retum of
capital investment after a one-year waiting period. This is to assure that there
wül be enough operating cash on hand in the following year.

1. Resource
As shown in the above table, the resource at Tintaya is about the same size of those in
Chile, but higher in grade. All of the reserves stated have marketable by-products and are the
most recent minable reserves quoted.
Based on the 1991 Western world copper sulfide reserve study formulated for the PDMC
Strategic Plan, the Tiritaya reserves would be ranked tpward the lower end of the 51 copper
deposits evaluated, as shown below:
This lower ranking is attributable to the relatively small size of the Tintaya project due
to limited ore reserves. However, one of the upsides for the project is the potential for
additional reserves which could enhance the above resource ranking.
ii. Productíon
The overall mining rate at Tintaya is comparable to the Mantos Blancos mine which is
^so a combined open-pit and underground operation. These mining rates are substantially
higher than Ojos and Los Pelambres due to the fact that they are open-pit mines and have
associated high stripping ratios.
The milling rates for Tintaya falls in the middle of the other three operations. Tintaya
^so has a higher mili head grade with average mili recoveries comparable to the other
operations. The Tintaya salable copper production is cióse to Mantos Blancos but substantially
ligher than the other two operations due to the higher milling rates and mili head grade.
The employee requirement for Tintaya is almost twice that reflected for the two
underground and small mili operations, probably due to the high infrastructure manpower of
Tintaya, but similar to the number of employees at the Mantos Blancos mine,
Mining costs for the open-pit portion of Tintaya are slightly lower than the open-pit
mining cost of Mantos Blancos. The underground mining costs of the four operations show
Tintaya to be below Mantos Blancos but higher than those shown for the underground operations
of Ojos and Los Pelambres. Milling cost show Tintaya to be in the expected operating range
of similar size operations. Total average mine life unit cash costs reflect Tintaya to be higher
than Ojos but slightly lower than either Mantos Blancos and Los Pelambres.

B. COST CURVE
The unit cash cost curve shown on the following graph (Figure 7-1) incorporales the
latest update (April 12, 1994) of production and associated cash operating costs 11994 dollars'^
of the principal westém worid copper mines, including both chánges in existing copper supply
as well as anticipated new copper supply for the period 1997 through 2000. By the late 1990's,
this anticipated new supply amounts to approximately 1.1 million tonnes of copper production
and has a weighted average operating cost of$0.55/lb Cu essentially lowering the cost curve and
making it more difficull for other new projects to be cómpetitive.
The Tintaya cash operating costs, shown in the table below, reflect the total average cash
cost for the life of mine along with the cash costs of both the open pit and underground portions
of the operations. These cash costs are shown along with their respective time period and rank
on the cost curve ahd are compared to selected other mine operating costs in 1997.

Chino 1997 0.65 50th
Figure 7-2 shows the Tintaya annual unit cash cost throughout its 16-year mine life. It
reflects the increase in costs from the addition of the more expensive underground mining
portion of the project. Due to the increase in cost over the life of the project, the average unit
cash cost over the total life of Tintaya ($0.66/lb) was chosen to accurately represent the
operation on the copper cost curve.
Using the average mine life cash cost, the Tintaya project is as competitivo as many other
Peruvian concentrator operations, such as, the Cuajone and Toquepala mines owned by Soiithern
Peni Copper Corporation(SPCC)and the Cerro Verde expanded operation based on 1997 costs.
Tintaya is also as competitivo as Morenci and Chino, and less cómpetitive than La Candelaria
based on 1997 cash costs and ranks at the 57th percentile on the cost curve. Using only the
I
I I initial open-pit cash operating costs, the Tintaya operations would be more cómpetitive and
rañked in the 40th percentile.

The goals outlined in the Phelps Dodge Mining Company (PDMC)Strategic Plan and
the impact of the purchase of Tintaya on them are shown below:
a. By 10% to 15% from 1991 average unit production cost by 1995 (1991$) and
thereafter maintain costs at 1995 levels:
Impact: The addition of.Tintaya would increase the unit copper production costs
in the year 2002 from $0.55/lb Cu to $0.56/lb Cu (1991$) and from
$0.51/lb Cu to $0.54 in the year 2007 (1991$).
b. To remain at least in the lower half of unit production costs among world
producers:
Impact: The addition of Tintaya wóuld move PDMC to a higher póint on the cost
curve of world producers.
12. Grow and maintain PDMC mine production to at least 10% of world production:
Impact: The addition of Tintaya would increase PDMC copper production by the
year 2002 to approximately 5.8% of world production (an increase of
0.7%).
Impact: The addition of Tintaya would decrease somewhat the integrated copper
producer position through rod since thé concéntrate would be sold
worldwide and not smelted or refined by PDMC.
Enhance ore reserves by replacing those reserves lost due to production and increasing
ore reserves at a 5% per annum growth rate:

FINANCING STRATEGY
j The financing strategies discussed bélow are based on PDC's analysis of current market
conditions and will be reviewed prior to implementation incorporating any advantages associated
with changing market conditions where possible.
í
9-1
B. SCENARIO 1 - NO CONSTRAINTS ON THE REQUIRED FORM OF
INVESTMENT
This scenario is based on PDC having máximum flexibility (i.e., no stípulation for use
jpf Peruvian debt paper as form of consideratíon in the bid) in structuring its financing plan for
he acquisition of Tintaya.
Three altematives have been reviewed in connection with PDC reducing its equity
exposure in the Tintaya acquisition and are discussed below:
Based on prior discussions with our existing Japanese partners (namely Mitsubishi and
Sumitomo) and recent correspondence froni Mitsui, it is likely that a Japanese equity partner
could be secured for the acquisition of Tintaya. Besides the reduction in equity exposure and
commensurate up-front payments, the advantages and disadvantages of this type of structure are
as follows:
PDC's equity exposure can also be reduced by using local investors. Peruvians also look
avorably on foreigh investors who co-invest with local partners. Two possibilities exist in Perú
br co-investment:
9-2
(T)") Local Mining Partners . ,
General discussions have been held with the Milpo and Simsa gróups (two of the largest
ocal Peruvian mining companies), bóth of which expressed interest in being a minority partner
bf PD in Tintaya. They have indicated thát they would like a 20-40% interest and could raise
$20 millioñ or more, as needed, with some undefined help from PD. The pros and cons of this
ype of investor are obvious:
2. Cash poor now and perhaps in the future and might be unable to
come up with their share of expansión money.
The local stock market has been doihg well and is benefiting from both local and
International funds. It could provide some amount of équity for Tintaya.
Pro: 1. Avoids single shareholder who could later become disgruntled and
cause problems.
There are a variety of debt fihancing altematives available including the following:
(al Local Financing
It is believed that at least $50 million might be arranged in the Peruvian market, as a
biidge loan,, which we would aim to refinance in the Peruvian and/or Eurobond market. The
likely bond term would be limited to the five-year range and the final takers of the Tintaya paper
could be a combination of International investors and/or Peruvian pensión funds or banks.
9-3
Banco de Crédito and Banco Wiese are two local sources of bridge financing. The cost
bf funds for bridge financing could be as much as 3-4% over prime (floating rale). The take-out
financing would most likely be around 3% over the underlying Treasury benchmark plus fees
for a total cost of around 10%. As a reference point, SPCC recently completed a financing
package including commitments from Banco de Crédito and Banco Wiese on which the all-in
cost was about 10%. The non-Peruvian portion of SPCC financing was largely tied to export
^es of copper.
The timing and documentation requirements for the take-out financing issue have not been
éxplored in detail. It is reasonable to expect that in the case of a bond issue the prospectus
would require, at a minimum,audited financiáis, and a business plan that addresses future issues
like ore reserve positions and cost reduction/efficiency programs. Six months is a reasonable
estímate to complete a bond deal for a going concern like Tintaya.
A locally financed bridge loan which is intended to be taken óut by a future bond issue
])resents a risk that the bond investors' pérception of Peni, copper market, or the company
changes during the bridge loan period (i.e., before the bond is issued) thereby jeopardizing the
ong-term finance plan.
J
fb^ Import-tied Financing
Other sources may include import-tied financing similar to that which was arranged for
;-a Candelaria, but the availability of such funding, even were it to be commercially viable,
depends upon the status of Tintaya's existing concéntrate sales contracts. More will be leamed
about these contracts during the coming months.
The U.S. Export-Import(EXIM) Bank may also be able to provide some financing to
íntayá although dealing with them is difficult and slow moving. As with the SPCC
Gommitment, availability of U.S. EXIM guaranteed funds would be dependent upon finalization
of a bilateral "Project Incentive Agreement", which remains under review by both the United
States and Peni.
9-4
Corporation (OPIC)is also open in Pei^, for both insurance and financing, but may be limited
in coveriñg new copper investments. OPIC's per-project financing limit has been increased to
$200 million from the $50 million which was in place when we financed La Candelaria, and
their insurance limit has been increased to $200 million from $100 million. The approximate
per annum cost for the full OPIC insurance program is 1.8%. This covers currency
iriconvertibility, expropriation, and political viólence.
' ■ !
I Preliminary applications to both OPIC and MIGA for political risk coverage of our
I ; potential investment in Peni have been submitted. These preliminary applications neither
[! guarantee us ñor commit us to a political risk insurance program, but they do get us into the
cue. Neither organization would be able to formally commit to providing insurance to us until
we indicate we have won the bid, but both are able to commence with some of the required due
diligence in advance.
i ,
I There are many things that can happen in Perú that might be categorized as political risk
events but which, while harmful, would not cause PDC to decide to stop operating. Political
risk insurance via project financing ór OPIC insurance "pays off only when it allows us to cut
óur financial losses.
j The concept of "political risk" spans a broad speclrum. Arranging project fmancing may
cover some aspects of political risk, but not others. For example, if a facility is expropriated
without compensation or if civil war destroys the plant, having limited recourse financing in
^ place allows the equity investor to walk away with only the loss of equity. -But, other fprms of
j govemmental harassment, such as onerous regulation, taxes, and mandated social and labor
— costs, are more likely to occur in today's world than expropriation, war or inconvertibility.
these "creeping forms of expropriation" leave the equity investor in business but with a greatly
I I reduced rate of retum. This reduction in rate of retum is not covered by the "insurance"
purchased by project financing or OPIC/MIGA programs.
1 Both the COPRI ~ the body in charge of all privatizations ~ and the CEPRI ~ the
committee in charge of the Tintaya privatization, have expressed that they are considering the
use of Peruvian debt papér for the privatization of Tintaya. Mr. Francisco Fernández, the
president of the Tintaya CEPRI, said that the mechanism being discussed may cali for a
minimum cash payment and a variable amount of debt paper. Under this scenario, the bidder
that commits to presenting the authorities with the greatest amount of debt paper would win the
Tintaya bid. However, the possibility that the formula used in Centromin (a fixed amount of
debt paper and a variable amount of cash), may be chosen by Peruvian authorities should not
be fuled out. Or still, given the fluidity of the process, that the Tintaya privatization will not
include the use of debt paper at all.
9-5
If the Tintaya privatization includes the use of debt paper, it would be regulated by
])ecree No. 17.94-EF. This decree stipulates that Peruvian authorities will consider only the
face valué of eligible Peruvian debt paper when comparing bids. Any cash offered above the
mínimum cash requirement cañnot be substituted for debt paper. Present regulations further
specify that, after the opening of the bid envelopes, the winner will have seven days to present
the debt paper to the Peruvian authorities. There is, hcwever, a provisión that extends this time
limit to ninety days, provided that the winner obtain a stand-by letter of credit in favor of the
govemment agency specifíed in the Instructions to Bidders.
Banco de Crédito del Peni, the country's largest bank, has told us that they could put
together a US$25-50 million five-year loan (non-récourse to PDC). This loan could be used to
purchase Peruvian debt paper in the secondary market. If other options discussed in this
memorándum prove to be more advantageous to PDC,the Banco de Crédito loan could be used
br Tintaya*s future investment commitments. Altematively, a portion of this loan could be used
9«6
to purchase Peruvian paper in the secondary market and a portion assigned to the financing of
iiture investment commitments.
A third option would be for PDC to enter inte a debt-for-debt swap agreement with
lolders of large amounts of Peruvian debt. Under such an agreement PD would take existing
debt from Peruvian debt holders and replace it with a new Tintaya obligation. This agreement
would of course be contingent on PDC winning the bid. Though banks holding Peruvian debt
as a rule prefer the potential capital appreciation that comes from debt-for-equity swaps, this
may be the right time for negotiating a debt-for-debt swap that includes some upside potential.
Tintaya could be the first privatization in which the use of debt paper would play a significant
role. Banks are eager to put their debt paper to use not only in the privatization of Tintaya but
in other privatizations as well, and they are likely to be more flexible in this first negotiation.
In addition, if more privatizations allow the use of debt paper, the price of Peruvian debt in the
secondary market is likely to rise above the 45-50% (has reached 70+%)of face valué at which
"■eruvian debt has been trading in the last weeks, giving bankers more negotiating clout.

Annual mine plans were designed for the Tintaya pit to verify that ore delivery
xequirements could be met en an annual basis and to permit a detailed analysis of the annual'
haulage requirements. The maps do not include the waste rock pile developments, although
the location of the westem waste rock pile is shown. Some overlap between the latter years
has been indicated on the maps.
Estímales of the haulage and shovel fleet requirements were made in conjunction
with the design of the annual mine plans. The calculation sheets indicate production estimates
for a truck limited, a shovel limited, and a driver limited situation. The driver limited situation
is the most appropriate situation to estimate the equipment requirements since with it, an
adequate number of trucks and shovels will be available.
C. Manpower Estimate
Estimates were made for annual staffing requirements at the Tintaya pit, the
open-pit mine maintenance shop, and for the Chabuca-Este and Coroccohuayco underground
mines. The current Tintaya pit and mine maintenance shop staffing levels are listed in the
1993 column, and reductions in the current levels is expected through redistribution of
personnel, reduced haulage requirements, and improvements in the availability of the haulage
fleet.

1.0 INTRODUCnON
1.1 GENERAL
Redpath Mcintosh Engineering Inc. (RMEI) has been requested by Phelps Dodge Mining
Company (PD) to review the Chabuca Este Mining project, located in southem Peni. This
review is based on the information provided to RMEI by PD of the Chabuca Este area of the'
Tintaya mining district. The information includes cross sections 128 (E 1*235,600,00)
through 175 (E 1*236,187.50), level plan of the 4005 adit, plan levels from 3750 through
4150 meters above sea level, and the projected limits of the adjacent Tajo Open Pit Mine.
RMEI developed the following estímate assuming that the information provided presents the
best interpretation of available data.
1.2 SCOPEOFWORK
The scope of work for RMEI includes the following major items:
2. The contractor will provide all of the equipment, materials and labor necessary to
perform the scope of work.
5. Costs do not include any taxes. An import duty of 15% has been added to the
equipment purchase price.
B-21
M^iNTOSH
K;\PflOAWFftOCO«60tABUCAJ«6 ENGINCIRINC
7. Escalation of costs has not been considered.
9. Costs do not include a materials handling system on the surface to transport ore from
the coarse ore stockpile to the mili.
10. A 15% contingency has been assessed against the total project's capital costs. This
contingency allows for lack of detailed design within the study as well as an
allowance for unforeseen delays in construction.
11. A 5% contingency has been assessed against the total project*s operating costs for
lack of detailed design.
12. The operating costs assume that a competent labor forcé is available.
13. The schedules provided do not include any surface drilling recommended prior to the
start of exploration development to cióse off the ore body.
1.4 GEOLOGY
The Chabuca Este deposit has been classifíed as a metasomatic contact deposit. The ore
body is approximately 1,300 m long, 25 m wide, and 300 m deep and strikes east/west and
dips 70®N. The major mineralization consists of magnetite, specularite, pyrite, pyrrhotite,
chalcopyrite, and bomite. The deposit represents a typical skam with varying ore grades.

2.0 MINE PLAN
2.1 GENERAL
RMEI has selected drift and fill as the proposed mining method. The decisión reflects the
unfavorable rock quality encountered and the diverse ore body configurations. The estímate
assumes that all stopes will require a backfill material.
An estimated mineable reserve was provided by PD. The indicated resource at a 1.42% Cu
cutoff is 11,505,000 tonnes ore at 2.5% Cu.
The mine life 1s calculated according to current resource estimates. Further exploratíon
drilling may increase this resource and mine life.
RMEI estimated the major deyelopment workings based on the following developmeñt
scheme:
• Primary access through the existing 4005 level, with an additional haulage access at
the 3885 level developed later in the mine life.
• Initíal mining of the ore body will be west of the Tajo Pit, utilizing two declines to
access the initial main level at 3900 m elevation. An ascending drift and fill method
will be used with access to the ,stopes from sublevéis driven at 20 vertical meter
spacing. The area under the Tajo Pit will be developed using one maih level with
three sublevéis, later in the mine life.

Haulage ñ'om the sublevéis wíll be by 26-tonne tmcks and will exít the mine at the 4005
level portal located within the proposed extensión of the Tajo Pit. As the mine is developed
to the east on the 3885 elevation, a second access will be located at the 3885 level of the
Tajo Pit.
The development contractor will supply temporary surface facilities required for the
preproductipn phase ^ich will include the following: ofñce, shop, and dry house facilities.
It is assumed that power for development will be available from the existing facilities.
Preproductibn development will begin with rehabilitating the existing 4005 drift by increasing
the cross-sectional area from 4 m x 4 m to 4.5 m x 5.0 m, for the éntire length of the
existing drift.
Two declines will be developed from the 4005 level to the 3900 level at a -15% gradíent with
cross sectipns of 4.5 m x 5.0 m. Two raises will be bored, 3 m diameter, to próvide
ventilation. One will intersect the 4005 level cióse to the proposed pit setback for exhausting
aír. The second will intersect the 3900 level at the westem end as a fresh air intake.
A connection between the two declines will be developed on the 3900 level. Mining will
commence at this level with stope accesses included as a part of preproduction. The 3920
sublevel will also be driven as a part of preproduction, but development of stope access will
be deferred until production commences.
. , The preproduction development phase will concur with the final year and a half of the
extended pit prpduction. AU of the development waste will be hauled by trucks out the
existing portal. As the pit reaches the end pf its life on the 4000 level, a second portal will

be opened into the pit. Production will then begin from the underground mine with all of
the ore being hauled to the pit.
Total 260 m
Total 2,730 m
Total 6,377
Diamond drilling will be conducted from the 4005 level. Drilliñg estimates are based on
30 m centers with 15 m intersections. RMEI has estimated 15,000 m of drilling to define
the ore body below the 4005 horizon.

2.5 GENERAL MINE PLAN
Drift and fíll mining has been selected based on ihe infonnation that RMEI has received on
ground conditions and ore body configurations. The westem portion of the reserve will be
mined first to allow completion of the Tajo Pit. As production in the Tajo Pit ceases, the
development of the eastem pan of the reserve will begin.
Stopes will be accessed from sublevéis developed on 20 m vertical spacing. Access to the
stopes will have a máximum grade of +/-18%. Stopes will be 6 m wide by 5 m high. A
twin boom jambo will be used for drilling and a 5 m^ LHD used for mucking. Each sublevel
will Service four stope levels 5 m high and will have access to the ramps that were developed
dufing preproduction.
Haulagé will utilize 26-tonne trucks, which will be loaded at the stope access intersection
with the sublevel by LHDs. The trueles will then transport the ore to the portal at the 4005
level'in the Tajo Pit. When the 3885 level is fully developed, haulagé will access bóth
levels. Surface haul trucks will then transport the ore to the concentrator. The costs for the
surface transportation has not been included in the estimates of operating costs.
Later in the mine life, orepasses will be constructed between levels ánd all haulagé will take
place on the 3885 level. These orepasses will be located cióse enough to the ore body and
working stopes to allow haulagé from the stopes to be handled by LHDs. A chute will be
installed at the bottom of each ore pass to facilítate truck loading.
Thé stopes'will be oriented longitudinally along the apparent strike of the deposit. Single
drifts will be driven in portions of the ore body that are 6 m or less in width. In wider
areas, panels will be driven at a máximum 6 m spacing. The primary panels must be
excavated and filled with a cemented fill prior to the excavation of the adjacent panel.
The stopes in wider areas will be accessed from the sublevéis by a máximum +Á 18% ramp.
The access ramp will achieve the required elevation for the stoping level at the initial contact
with the ore. Then it will driven across the ore block at a level (or slightly positive) grade
for drainage. The primary panels will be driven perpendicular to the access in both
directions along the contact. Spacing of the subsequent panels will retreat toward the
entrance of the access.

B-28
M^lNTQSH
K:\PRO;\WPROCU06VCHABUCAJd6 ENaNURINC
In the areas of substantial width, múltiple panels can be míned at the same time given that
at least one secondary panel, or temporary pillar, is left between active panels.
For purposes of developing the cost estímate, it is assumed that 50% of the stopes will
require pattemed bolting and 50% wíll require shotcrete.
During the preproduction phase, the 3900 level will be developed, with stope accesses, for
the beginning of production. A second sublevel, 3920 sublevel, will aiso be developed to
facilítate start-up problems and to ensure a sustained production rate.
The óngoing development required to produce 2000 tpd equates to the development of one
sublevel, including accesses, per yeaf plus the required slashing of the existing accesses that
is required as the stopes ascénd. This work is carried as an opérating cost at the rate of
400 mf /yeár of driftirig and 23,000 tonnes /year of slashing.
A cohtractor will be brought back on site in Year 4 of production to develop the eastem
portion of the deposit located below the pit extensión (see Ongoing Capital Schedule).
2.6.1 prilllng
Twín-boom hydraulic jumbos will to be üsed for development heádings and drift and fill
stopes.
2.6.2 Blasting
5 m'LHDs will be used in the stopes. 26-tonné trucks will be used for haulage.
A backfill plant will be cónstructed on site and backfill will be placed in a slurry form.

Picase find attached the Chubca Este reserve estímate which was performed by Redpath
Mcintosh Englneering Inc.(RMEI). This estímate ís based on the informatíon that was
provided to RMEI by Pheips Dodge Mining Co.(PD). The following is a listing ofthe
Information that RMEI had received:
These sections were received by RMEI as part ofthe preliminary package from
PD with a request to review both the Chubuca Este deposit and the
Coroccohuayco deposit. The sections cover the area ofthe deposit between
Easting 236,200 and Easting 235,600. Each section consists of a copy of a
"D" size plot that had been colored tó identify the geologists interpretation of
the skarn material. Drill holes are also identified on these plots with Cu grades
from assay intervals within the skarn.
These sections were received by RMEI via fax machine from Tim Swendseid
ofPD. The faxes were received as 8.5 x 11 standard paper size and were
Xerox copies of the areas pertaining to additional sections that Tim had on the
deposit. Some of the copies were in two pages to cover the entire area ofthe
skarn on the section.. The drill holes and grades were included on the copies
received, although no very clear. Tim was contacted to verify grades that
could not be deciphered from the copies. These sections cover the area of the
deposit between Easting 235,600 and Easting 235,437.5.
B-42
3. Geologic section numbered from 109 to 114
These sections were again received by RMEI via fax machine from Tim
Swendseid ofPD. The faxes were received as 8.5 x 11 standard paper size and
were Xerox copies of the arcas pertaining to additional sections that Tim had
currently received by fax from Perú. Some ofthe copies were in two pages to
cover the entire area ofthe skarn on a section. The drill holes and grades were
included on the copies received, although no very clear. The grades were
deciphered as best as possible from the copies. These sections cover the area
ofthe deposit between Easting 235,437.5 and Easting 235,362.5.
Note that RMEI had also received a plan section detailing the as-built ofthe
existing drift on the 4000 Level. This plan section indicates that there is skarn
material at the 4000 level between sections 83 and 109(Easting 235,362.5 and
Easting 235037.5.) There were no geologic sections provided covering this area,
therefore, it has not been included in this estímate.
ESTIMATING PROCEDURES
Each section was taken and the identified skarn material digitized into the ACAD
system to calcúlate the area. All of the skarn material was digitized régardless of
grade except areas which fell within the boundaries ofthe pit limits as per Tim
Swendseid's pit design dated 5-10-94. The section that were received by fax
required calibrating the digitizer for each section to ensure an accurate calculation.
The sections are plotted on a 12.5 meter interval, therefore a 12.5 meter thickness
influence was assigned to each section to obtain the total volume of skarn material
in cubic meters. A tonnage factor of3 tonnes per cubic meter was then applied to
calcúlate the total tonnage of skarn material within the study area. This total was
considered the total Geologic Resource.
Each section was then reviewed to identify either areas of oxide material, area
containing grades less then 1% Cu or areas that were to small to justify mining
them. These identified areas were again digitized to calcúlate the volume and
removed from the Geologic Resource. The results of the remaining tonnage is
listed as the Mineable Resource.
Each section was then reviewed concerning drill holes and assay data. Grades
within the outlined skarn material only were considered. The indicated grades
within the skarn were composited on a weighted average basis depending on the
width ofthe assay interval. In some cases the grades could not be read due to
poor copy quality. When this occurred the interval was either assumed to be the
B-43
grade of surrounding assays or in some cases if the first digit could be read it was
assumed to be that grade. Ex. if a 2. could be deciphered the assay valué was
assumed to be 2.00.
Many of the skarn areas only contained one drill hole. In this case the entire areas
was assumed to be the grade of that drill hole. In some cases the skarn area was
interceptad with numerous drill holes. When this occurred an attempt was made to
assign a percentage ofthe area to a given hole and then a total was calculated on a
weighted average basis. If an area had no drill holes within it, it was assigned the
grade ofthe adjacent section or an average ofthe grades from the sections on
either side. Although the grades fluctuated between sections, there appears to be a
reasonable consistency across the deposit. Areas of waste intrusions were not
included in the resource, therefore the grade of these waste areas were not
included in the resource grade calculation.
A composite of the entire drill hole was not performed to determine the extent of a
grade outline at a 1% cut-off. This means that a full composited length of hole
was not calculated to determine what lower grade material could be carried by the
higher valued assays. This would have resulted in a higher tonnage's at a lower
overall grade. This would have been difficult and time consuming given the assay
data in the form that it was received. A visual inspection determined only where
grades were above 1 %. If a lower grade was encountered within a higher grade
interval it was included in the calculation.
TOTAL RESOURCE
Each section was listed with its geologic tonnage, mineable tonnage and
corresponding grade. These were totaled, resulting in a Geologic Resource of
12,617,481 tonnes and a Mineable Resource of 10,027,054 tonnes at a grade of
2.21% Cu.
Applying an 85% recovery factor and a 15% dilution factor with an assumed grade
of0.5%Cu the resulting Mineable Reserve estimate totals 9,801,445 tonnes at a
grade of 1.99% Cu.

1.0 INTRODUCnON
1.1 GENERAL
Redpath Mclmosh Engineering Inc. (RMEI) has been requesied by Pheips Dodge Mining
Company (PD) to review the Coroccohuayco mining project, located in southern Peni. This
review is based on the information provided to RMEI by PD, consisting of cross seoions,
defined A through I. derived from the 36 diamond drill heles in the Coroccohuayco area'of
the Tintaya mining district. RMEI developed the foUowing estimate assuming that the
information provided presents the best interpretation of available data.
The scope of work ibr RMEI includes the lollowing major ítems:
2. The comractor will provide ai! of the equipment. materiaís and labor necessary to
perform the scope of work.
5. Costs do not include any taxes. An impon duty of 15% has been added to the
equipment purchase price.
K:\FRQÍVWPR0a3é«0R0CC0.3«
8. AIl permanent materials have been costed as new with the exception of the
service/sinking hoist and productíon hoíst.
9. Costs do not include the constmction of a high voltage service line, a service road to
access the portal site, or a materials handling system on the surface to transpon ore
from the coarse ore stockpile to the mili.
10. A 15% contingency has been assessed against the total project's capital costs. This
contingency allows for lack of detailed design within the study as well as an
allowance for unforeseen delays in constructíon.
11. A 5% allowance has been assessed against the total project's operating costs. This
allows for lack of detailed design.
12. The operating costs assume that a competent labor torce is avaílable.
13. The schedules provided do not include any surface drilling recommended prior to the
stan of exploration development to cióse off the ore body.
1.4 GEOLOGY
The Coroccohuayco deposii has been classified as a metasomatic contact deposit. The ore
body is approximately 500 m long, 100 m to 300 m wide. with an average strike of N30°E.
Copper mineralization consists of cuprite, chrysocolla. and native copper: copper sulfide
mineralization consists of bornite. chalcopyrite. and chalcocite. .Mineralization varies. as is
typicai with skarn bodies of this type. which leads to varying ore grades.
2.1 GENERAL
For costing purposes. RMEI has selected a combination of blasthole stoping and drift and fill
at a ratio of 50/50, based on the indicated ground conditions and ore body geometry. It is
assumed that the ore body interpretation has sufficient continuity to suppon a transverse
orientation of the blasthole stopes. This will minimize the amount of exposed hanging wall
which appears to be less competent than the ore body mineralization. 50% of total productíon

wiil come from drifi and fill methods. The drift and fill stopes wilí be located in peor rock
quality areas, and in complex ore configurations.
The geologic resource was provided by PD. The indicated resource at a 1.0% Cu cutoff is
19,417.680 tonnes ore at 2.56% Cu. Mineable reserves were determined as follows:
The mine life is calculated according to current resource esíimates. Further exploration
drilling may increase this resource and mine life.
RMEI estimated the major deveiopment workings based on the following development
scheme:
The main production levels are projected for the 3700. 3800. and 3900 elevations. Operation
of two sublevéis will be required to obtain daily production of 5,000 tonnes. The average
tonnage per sublevel is 1.5 m tonnes, based from the geologic resource. It should be noted
that the main body of the reserve appears to lie below the 3900 level. All drifts will be
4.5 m wide by 5.0 m high. This will facilítate the use of 26-tonne haul trucks

The following illustrates the projecced developmenc excavations for the life of mine.
Temporary surface tacilities will be erected on site by the contractor during the exploration
phase. These tacilities will include temporary office, shop, warehouse, bunkhouse, and
kitchen. Power generaiion will be provided by an onsite generator.
A decline at 15% grade, will bé developed from surface to the proposed exploration level at
3,800 meiers above sea level in the footwall. An,access dríft will be driven at thai level
through the ore body to allow development of an exploration drill drift in the hanging wall.
The drift will run parallel to the strike of the ore and will span the distance between cross
sections A through I. RMEI estimates that a total of 2,530 m pf drifting will be required.
Diamond drilling can then be conducted from the exploration drift between Sections A and I.
Drilling estimates are based bn 30 m centers along strike with 15 m intersections oh the
apparent dip. The majority of exploration drilling is targeted below the 3800 horizon; RMEI
has estimated 35,000 rfi of diamond drilling to define the ore body below the 3800 horizon.
(See Tables 2 and 3 for drilling costs.)

The expioration phase includes costs íor a teasibility study and 30% engineering design.
Immediateiy following the expioration drilling program and positiva acceptance of a feasibility
I study. a preproduction development plan wiil be carried out.
I
' Surface facilities required tbr preproduction will ¡nclude the following: shatt sinking
! equipment and headframe. offices, shop. warehouse, living quarters. hoist room. compressor
i house. and security facilities. Power for development will be generated on site.
A'6. i m diameter. concrete lined. fully furnished production/service shaft will be sunk to the
3600 level. This shaft will serve as the main intake airway for the mine in addition to
providing personnel access and ore production. The shaft has been costed using conventional
shaft sinking methods.
The decline will be extended to the 3700 level. The entire decline will be used as a
secondary ventilation intake and to allow for equipment egress to and from the surface. This
aiso eliminates the necessity ot an underground shop.
A total of three raisebored shafts, 3 m in diameter, will provide for exhaust ventilation. Two
raises will be developed to the 3700 level. A third raise will be developed to the 3800 levei.
This raise wiil be used to deliver tlll mataríais to a batching piant.
Two main ore passes. 2 m in diameter. will be bored between main leváis. These ore passes
will service the main collection leveis to the crusher. Three additional ore passes, 2 m in
diameter. will be developed between the stopes and the main collection leveis.
Compietion of the 3800 main hauiage level and fuil development of the 3700 mam haulage
level as well as the 3720 and 3740 sublevéis will be required prior to production.

2.5.2 Drift and Fill Stopes
Drift and fill stoping will occur ih areas where the ore body is narrow; has an irregular shape
or where poor ground conditions are encountered along the hanging waíl. It has been
assumed that the purposes oí this study that 50% of production will come from drift and fill
stopes.
Each stope will be accessed from the subleve! with a ramp of máximum +/- 18% gradient.
Ule stopes will be oriented longitudinaily along the strike of the ore body. Each stope will
have a cross sectional area óf 5 m wide by 5 m high. A twin-boom jumbo will be utilized
for^drilling and a 5 m^ LHD for mucking. It has been assumed for estimating purposes that
50% óf the drift and fill stopes will require shotcrete and 50% will require bólting on a 1.5 m
pattern for ground support. The resulting estimated operating costs for drift and fill stopes
is $2.22 /tonne. (See Table 4.)
Two sublevéis wílI be required to be developed in order to sustain production. The inilial
two sublevéis are driveñ during the preproduction development phase. The additional
sublevéis will be driven during production at a rate of 122,843 tpnnes per year, or an
equivalent of 1750 m per year. The estimated cost of development is $0.46 /tonne.
2.6.1 Drilling
Twin-boom hydraulic jumbos will to be used for development headings and drift and fill
stopes. Bench drills will be used for blasthole stopes.
2.6.2 Blasting
5 m^ LHDs will be used in the stopes. 26-tonne trucks will be used on the main haúlage
levels.

2.6.4 Fill Material
Fill will be delivered to the mine through the vent raise which terminales on the 3800 level.
An underground batch plant will process the fill which will then be transported by 26-tonne
trucks to the stopes. A small dozer will be utilized to compact the fill material.
2.6.5 Cnishing
2.6.6 Conveyor
A 1060 mm conveyor belt will transport ore from the crusher to the storage bins.
2 6.7 Hoisting
The service hóist will be a 3 m diameter, 750 hp, double-drum hoist with an operating speed
of7.6m/s.
The production hoist will be a 3 m diameter, 2,400 hp, double-drum hoist with an operating
speed of 12.7 m/s.
The main service/production shaft will be a double compartment shaft, 6.1 m in diameter,
425 m in depth, and lined with 0.3 m of circular monolithic concrete. The shaft will contain
four shaft stations, one of which is the loading pocket.

APPENDIX E
The detailed discounted cash flow PCF)analyses for the base case of the Tintaya project
as described in Section 6 are presented in this appendix. These detailed tables include copper
pnce sensitivities (i.e., $0.85, $1.00 and $1.15) at differentdiscount rales (i.e., 11%, 13% and
15%), and the open-pit alone case.
A sample of 56 representative acquisitions of early stage and minable vía open-pit and
a sample of 23 producing properties, were examined to determine the expected fair market valué
of Tintaya open-pit and exploration potential resources, as well as provide Information on the
nature of the acquisition cost distribution. A log normal, population probability distribution of
the acquisition costs was calculated using simulation software and statistical information provided
by the sample, the mean and standard deviation. The resulting acquisition cost distribution
allowed the determination of the expected probability of a higher acquisition bid at varying
acquisition valúes per pound of contained copper.
A listing of the open-pit acquisitions used in the samples and their unit cost is provided
in this appendix.
