CORPORATE PRESENTATION

CAUTIONARY NOTES AND QP

Certain statements in this presentation constitute forward-looking statements and as such are based on an
assumed set of economic conditions and courses of action. These include estimates of future production levels,
expectations regarding mine production costs, expected trends in mineral prices and statements that describe
Atico Mining Corporation’s future plans, objectives or goals. There is a significant risk that actual results will vary,
perhaps materially, from results projected depending on such factors as changes in general economic conditions
and financial markets, changes in prices for silver and other metals, technological and operational hazards in
Atico’s mining and mine development activities, risks inherent in mineral exploration, uncertainties inherent in the
estimation of mineral reserves, mineral resources, and metal recoveries, the timing and availability of financing,
governmental and other approvals, political unrest or instability in countries where Atico is active, labour relations
and other risk factors.
The Company has not based its production decisions and ongoing mine production on mineral reserve estimates,
preliminary economic assessments or feasibility studies, and historically such projects have increased uncertainty
and risk of failure. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
Dr. Demetrius Pohl, PhD, is the Qualified Person for Atico, as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Dr. Pohl was
also responsible for ensuring that the information contained in this presentation is an accurate summary of the
original reports provided to Atico and has approved the scientific and technical content of this presentation.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Cash cost per pound of payable copper produced and cash cost per tonne of processed ore are key performance
measures that management uses to monitor performance. In addition, cash costs are an industry standard method
of comparing certain costs on a per unit basis; however, these do not have a standardized meaning and may differ
from methods used by other companies with similar descriptions. Management believes that certain investors use
these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company’s performance. These performance measures have
no meaning under IFRS and, therefore, amounts presented may not be comparable to similar data presented by
other mining companies.

VMS DEPOSITS
Typically occur in clusters

▪ Volcanogenic massive sulfide mineral deposits are


formed at or near the sea-floor by volcanic activity
▪ VMS deposits generally occur in clusters; rare to
find just a single deposit
▪ Over 1,000 known deposits from < 1 Mt to over 300
Mt, average size 2.87 Mt tonnes of 1.82 % Cu and
1.4 g/t Au
▪ It is possible to estimate the size and grade of
future discoveries in a district based on the known VMS Deposit
distribution of VMS deposits
▪ Colombia represents a new VMS province in South
America.

Well understood geological model

▪ Mapping of main lithologies for 10 kilometers through


the El Roble property that control mineralization -

sediments
▪ Well understood occurrence of mineralization in
favorable lithology
▪ Knowledge gained from mine informs regional
exploration
▪ Structural controls still need to be better understood
