TSF search uses high-level selection of potential options. Initial filtering process to be followed by further refinement using Multiple Accounts Matrix (MAM). Fifty-five potential TSF sites identified and placed in 23 groups; five groups selected for MAM assessment. TSF to be placed outside Forest Reserve; preferred sites have minimum total storage capacity of 1,420 Mt, and maximum embankment height of 250m. Knight Piesold and Hatch participating in engineering effort. 23 12

Infrastructure Water requirements estimated at 0.5m 3-1m 3 /ton processed ore depending on water recycling. About 1.5% to 2% of water estimated to be drawn from Coello River. Access and internal roads to be minimized to reduce project footprint. La Colosa site about 6km from national highway. h Buenaventura Port located 250 km from La Colosa. Excellent rail and road options available for freight from port to mine. Logistics study scheduled for 2012. Power lines run near site. New electrical substation may be required to supply 100MW 140MW feed to plant.
