Both Sangilo and Suyoc mines have long history of mining operations before and after the Second World
War. Post-war operations from 1951 to 1996 recorded combined production of 1,285,242 ounces of gold
and 728,063 ounces of silver from 8.2 million tonnes of ore mined, which was quite remarkable
considering the less efficient mining and processing methods then as compared to present practices.

Sangilo Mine

A two-stage development program for the Sangilo mine is underway. The first stage commenced in
October 2015 is for the construction of a 400-tonnes per day plant capacity with interim phases to reach
at 75 tonnes per day while underground development is being pushed through in fresh and old
headings. Incidental production to 2016 accounted for 1,547 ounces of gold valued at P P92.1 million.
The second stage plan is a separate plant at 1,500 tonnes per day which will bring the mine’s total
installed capacity to 1,900 tonnes per day at the estimated total investment cost of $68.8 million..

The mine is ISO 14001:2015 certified for environmental management system granted by TUV Rheinland
in April 2017. The scope of the certification is for exploration, mining and mineral processing, valid until
2020.

Suyoc Mine

The plan for the Suyoc mine is for a 300 tonnes per day operation, to commence plant construction and
mine development work after the reserve validation of the mine now in progress is completed.
Investment cost for the Suyoc mine is estimated to be $36.8 million.
The mine is ISO 14001:2015 certified for environmental management system granted by TUV Rheinland
in April 2017. The scope of the certification is for mining exploration and project development activities
valid until 2020.
