10 Letter to shareholders Global Economic Outlook The economic outlook since 2000 includes structural problems, mainly in developed countries, which have not been resolved and have only been faced with aggressive monetary and fiscal policies. With the change in civilizations from industrial to service societies, as well as rapid technological advances that have allowed large productivity increases and the ability to produce goods and services at lower costs, we should be seeing the generalized creation of value and wealth. However, fiscal and structural trade deficits, as well as an unsustainable welfare state and problems with the financial system that do not appropriately guide change are provoking high levels of unemployment that are most evident even among the bestprepared youth. Despite a global economic situation that is unfavorable for the exports of developed nations, the monetary policies of these nations have allowed important capital access and long-term, low-interest financing for developing nations. It has also permitted developing countries to focus on domestic economies and impulse the activities necessary for development with the formation of human and physical capital, as well as the promotion of activities that will be intensive job engines in coming years. Investments in coming years that are equivalent to 25% of GDP would create high sustained economic growth, as well as sustained job growth, which would allow developing countries to cross the threshold of per capita income of $15,000 dollars. This in turn would result in a larger middle class and bring currently marginalized and poverty-stricken groups to the benefits of better education and health, leading to a virtuous cycle of development for our countries. Even with the negative effects of the global economy, Mexico and other emerging countries are facing more growth opportunities than developed nations. Mexico has an adequatelycapitalized banking system, better public finances, low interest rates, long-term peso and dollar-indexed financing, and most importantly, many needs that become investment opportunities for the private sector, which in turn lead to potential for development and more employment. Metals Market In 2011, the precious metals market experienced an important increase in prices. In the case of gold, the global economic situation, negative real interest rates and the growing demand for the physical metal especially in China as well as the growing demand of exchange-traded funds have pushed prices to maximum historic levels. Gold traded at $1,925 USD/ Oz in September of 2011 and prices for the year were 25% above 2010 levels. Meanwhile, global production was 2,801 tons, a 5.7% increase from In the case of silver, it is being considered an investment in addition to industrial uses. Global mining production was 24,150 tons in 2011, a similar level to Throughout the year, there were large periods of volatility, with prices closing the year at 60% above In the case of base metals, copper has had an important upturn in recent years. Demand in China for the metal increased in 2011 to almost 8.0 Mt, which is 40% of global consumption. Meanwhile, the supply of deposits has been affected in recent years by labor strikes, climate and decreases in production laws. Global mining production was Mt for As for zinc and lead, there has been an increase in global supply in recent years, creating historically high inventories, with China as the principal consumer and producer. MINERA FRISCO Within this context there is a historic opportunity for the company, which in addition to having many years of operation, has a portfolio of important mining lots in Mexico and important growth potential for its operational units. Thanks to the experience of the company in executing and installing projects and taking advantage of specialization in process engineering, construction and the build-out of structures from affiliated companies, there are currently six expansion projects as well as the simultaneous installation of new mines. These projects are the principal present and near future challenge for the company. These projects represent an important increase in the production capacity of over 200% and a CapEx of $7.984 billion pesos for 2011, a figure that will be surpassed in

11 Frisco currently has one of the most aggressive expansion programs in the world for now and the near future, executing with the highest levels of quality, in record time and cost efficiency, offering experience and equipment integration that is fundamental for the execution of future projects. In the operation of our mining units, we have made an important effort to continue metallurgical investigation and the optimization of our processes. This translates into production cost improvements, efficiency in the recovery of metallurgical values, processes with better environmental sustainability and in general better economic viability of the projects. In terms of exploration, in 2011 we significantly increased the economic resources, equipment and specialists to increase our reserve base and mineral resources to support the operation of current projects, expansion plans and the viability of projects that are being installed. Additionally, there are many mining lots from our portfolio that are in geological study and exploration seeking viability to be exploited in the future. In terms of operations, higher year-on-year metals prices in 2011 and increases in produced volumes of mainly copper, gold and lead caused revenue to increase 20% to $8.545 billion pesos, while EBITDA increased 18% with a slight decrease of 0.8 percentage points in EBITDA margin, which was 50.4%. Total assets were $ billion pesos, while controlling stockholders equity was $ billion pesos. Debt to equity was 1.0 time, while net debt was 0.8 times 2011 EBITDA. Debt coverage was 7.1 times. Given the relevance of the investments in installation projects, the company considered the guarantee of minimum level of profitability to be fundamental and has hedged the price of metals. As the projects near operation and the new projects have a lesser weight with respect to the total production base, the company has significantly decreased its position of hedges with respect to production. Among the most important corporate events, at the beginning of the year the acquisition was completed of 39% of the shares of Minera Tayahua, raising the participation of Minera Frisco to 90.2% of equity. At the same time, an Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting was held to decree a capital increase of 250 million shares at a price of $47.00 pesos per share, of which million shares were subscribed. Sustainability activities in 2011 included environmental control operative plans, sustainability of water and energy resources, management of environmental liabilities, certifications, integral management systems and the analysis of stakeholders. Additionally, we increased our labor force by 30%, benefitting the communities where we operate with job creation. The labor climate and relation between the company and the unions remains healthy and cordial. Minera Frisco has a solid financial position that allows it to face its current, immediate and future expansion plans that will convert it into a company with world-class production levels, as well as the operating experience to achieve these goals with the highest standards. On behalf of the Board of Directors and the management team at Minera Frisco, we thank all of our employees, their effort, commitment, and our shareholders for their trust. Minera Frisco will seek to maintain the successful course to contribute to the development of our country. Sincerely, José Humberto Gutiérrez-Olvera Zubizarreta Chairman of the Board Alejandro Aboumrad González Chief Executive Officer 7

The current and future exploration programs are focused on locating gold and silver deposits to increase reserves that can be mined with open-pit techniques. Geological and geophysical works, as well as drilling, are currently being carried out. In the more advanced exploration projects, surface land is being acquired for modeling of geological resources. 38

43 Conducting geological tests We have significantly increased the economic resources and exploration equipment, as well as specialists to increase the base of reserves and mineral resources to support the current operation, expansion plans and the feasibility of installation projects. 39

44 Sustainability activities A fundamental part of the strategy and culture of Minera Frisco is social responsibility, a commitment that beyond business activity maximizes the positive impact of its activities and transfers resources to benefit the communities where it operates. With this objective, in 2011 the following activities were carried out: In the area of hazardous waste management, we introduced an initiative so that all of our units have a registered plan with the Environmental and Natural Resources Ministry, with San Francisco del Oro receiving the first validation. We also began the process to identify and quantify environmental liabilities in all mining units to reduce the environmental footprint to comply with Mexican norms and the NIF C-18. CIDEC, Microm and Sinergia companies dedicated to the production of efficient energy technologies, diagnosed the lighting needs in all business units to soon implement eco technologies and solar and wind power to reduce greenhouse effects. As part of the activities aimed at the conservation of biodiversity, there was a second monitoring of the Royal Eagle in the Altamira hill in Aguascalientes, in accordance with the protection and conservation program that Asientos co-sponsors. In the El Concheño project, construction of the native plant nursery has begun according to the initiatives of the other units that have these production structures. It should be noted that Minera Frisco has maintained since 2001 the UMA wildlife conservation management unit Reserva San Francisco Oro, which includes 150 hectares of wild flora and fauna. The reserve promotes ecological consciousness and tourism. At midyear, the water project of the San Felipe unit began, including the installation of a desalinization plant that uses inverse osmosis technology, representing an environmental benefit as a smaller area would be impacted and a greater water recovery would be achieved. At El Coronel, the implementation has begun of the Environmental and Social Management System, which takes into account the ISO , ISO norms and the best practices of the International Code for Cyanide Handling. The objective is to reduce the health and environmental risks. Four units of the Group: Minera María, Tayahua, El Coronel and San Francisco del Oro maintain the Certificado de Industria Limpia (Certification for clean industry) that is awarded by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency. 40
