ANNUAL PLAN OF MINE

Held in June last year, targets are set: production, law, fine, sterile deposits and
sizing of fleet; course which will serve to carry out the following plans undermined.
cuts are made monthly.

MONTHLY PLAN OF MINE


Made one week before the month, the monthly target to be aligned to the points
made in the Annual Plan for the same month is set. Weekly cuts are made and the
plane is presented to midline.

WEEKLY PLAN OF MINE


Performed every Monday, it has forecast a week and the cuts are daily. In addition,
influenced by the mining infrastructure and the location of the drills they are.

TENTATIVE PLAN OF MINE


Held every Thursday, updates the remaining four cuts to complete the week and is
projected to next week with a single cut. Like the weekly plan infrastructure and
drilling location shown.

DAILY PLAN
Made every day, they are presented in turn cuts the blades that provide mineral. In
this mining plan polygons which are charged to JMineOPS system to adequately
monitor the shipment of material to their respective destination is.

DRILLING PLAN
The drilling plan is essential to the fulfillment of the plans undermined as this plan
depends on the availability of material that may be triggered undermined by the
blades.

DEVELOPMENT AND SETTING SCREENS


Drilling meshes are triangular, for processing it requires information provided by
Geotechnics and Geology, in addition to coordination with Drilling & Shooting area.

SAMPLING BLASTHOLES
Blastholes sampling ultimate goal is to improve the quality of information model
that the daily and weekly plans are made undermined. It is carried out by the
contract MINCOSER SAC.

Topography data delivery


The Planning Engineer Short Term delivery personnel topography manager
sampling plans projects to be sampled (fund mine where there mineralization) and
labels which consists in number of the drill, level, project number and number drill,
as well as drawings with the selection of samples to be sent to the laboratory
according to the need for information (70 - 80 samples per day).
The plans have a limit sampling (yellow where there is more to mineral cutoff> 0.3
and red where there is low-grade sulfide <0.3 law)
Sampling is done in the mornings and the number of samples per day is variable
because it depends on the progress of the drilling.

Receiving labels and plans


The Short Term Planning Engineer receives the "Application Analysis Blastholes"
along with the plans of the sampled areas and labels sampled drills. The number of
samples indicating the application for each project and in total should match the
number of labels, otherwise it will return to land surveyor / sampler for correction.

Scan the Data


Each label daily sampling is digitized in a database QA / QC using a gun bar code
reading. This database contains the data of the gun, the sampling date, number of
levels, project and drill, type of sampled drill (original or duplicate) and should be
doubled his side the number of the original drill is placed .
From this database two reports in Excel, one sampled every day drills and other
drills with the selected will be sent to the laboratory is made.
The database and daily reprtes with the list of sampled and sent to laboratory drills
are stored in the QA / QC folder whose path is Computer - Mina (CFPS) IngDeMina - PlanCortoPlazo - 2016 - QA / QC.

Creating Polygons Sampling


After updating the database, it proceeds to digitize the sampled area in the
MineSigth3D software, enclosing a polygon sampled blastholes specifying on the
label the date of sampling and the amount sampled by project and blastholes also
digitizes selected to send the enclosing Laboratory polygons on a label specifying
the date of shipment and the quantity shipped. This control QA / QC in the
MineSigth3D is located in the folder: _mresoucers - 23_Qa-Qc.
Receiving labels and plans
The Short Term Planning Engineer receives the "Application Analysis Blastholes"
along with the plans of the sampled areas and labels sampled drills. The number of
samples indicating the application for each project and in total should match the
number of labels, otherwise it will return to land surveyor / sampler for correction.
Export Blastholes
Once generated polygons sampling in the Minesight, drills are selected within
sampled polygons of the respective date and exported in the "DRILLS

INVENTORY MINESIGHT" .TXT format folder whose name is the number and
project level.
The same procedure applies to polygons shipping, selecting the holes that are in
and exporting them to the "DRILLS POSTED MINESIGHT" .TXT format folder
whose name is the number and project level.

Comparison Blastholes
Excel reports sent sampled and opens holes and create a new tab where we can
make the comparison. We open each of the exported files from Minesight and
paste in the new Excel spreadsheet. Use conditional formatting to duplicate and
painted both columns means that both
tags digitized and exported holes are equal verifying that good control of the
sampling was carried.
Furthermore, in the case that white would blastholes means:
Exported column blastholes the MineSight.- There was error exporting drills
MineSigth or there was an error in the planes that delivered the Muestrero and in
any case must be corrected.
In the column copied blastholes There was fingering inicial.- error scanning labels
with the gun and these should be checked again.
This process is the same for both sampled for drills holes as sent.
