Hackett River

As announced in March 2007 a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA)

was completed by Wardrop Engineering Inc. in accordance with National

Instrument 43-101 guidelines. The PEA envisions Hackett River as being

capable of achieving average annual production of 324.7 million pounds of

zinc, 12.4 million ounces of silver, 20.7 million pounds of copper, 37.0

million pounds of lead and 17.2 thousand ounces of gold over a mine life of

13.6 years.

According to the PEA, a discounted cash flow analysis of the Hackett River

Project achieves a pre-tax net present value of C$345 million at an 8%

discount rate with a pre-tax internal rate of return of 20.6% and a payback

period of approximately 3 years. For further information on the

Preliminary Economic Assessment, please see the News release dated March 5,

during the fourth quarter of 2008.

The Preliminary Economic Assessment is based on a NI 43-101 compliant

mineral resource estimate completed by Wardrop Engineering in November

2006.
