Q2-2012.

(1) Cash-flow per share is a non-GAAP financial performance measure with no
standard definition under IFRS. It is therefore possible that this
measure could not be comparable with a similar measure of another
company. See the 'Non-IFRS Measures' section of this MDA. The Company
uses this non-GAAP measure which can also be helpful to investors as it
provides a result which can be compared with the Company market share
price.
(2) Cash gross operating margin per ounce is calculated by dividing the
Company's cash gross operating margin by the number of gold ounces sold
during the period and is a non-GAAP financial performance measure with
no standard definition under IFRS. It is therefore possible that this
measure could not be comparable with a similar measure of another
company. The Company uses this non-GAAP measure which can also be
helpful to investors as it provides a result on a production unit
basis.
Results from operations:
During the period ended June 30, 2013, the Company processed
18,785 dry metric tonnes (DMT) of ore (cumulative of 37,462 DMT for
the six-month period) compared to 16,086 DMT in Q2-2012 (cumulative
33,644 DMT) a 16.8% increase over Q2-2012. The plant operated at
its full 220 tpd capacity during Q2 2013. This 18,785 DMT ore
throughput represents the largest quarterly tonnage processed in
the history of the plant.
In Q2-2013 the Company produced 17,893 ounces of gold
(cumulative six-months of 37,920) compared to 12,392 (cumulative
six-months of 25,503) for the same period in 2012 a 44.4% increase.
In Q1-2013 gold production attained an all-time quarterly record of
20,027 ounces of gold. The increase in gold production as compared
to 2012 is explained by a higher tonnage of ore processed and
higher gold grades in the ore purchased. During the quarter the
grades of ore processed averaged 1.01 oz/DMT (31.42 g/t Au)
compared 0.82 oz/DMT (25.51 g/t Au) in 2012.
Total sales for the period amounted to $25.9M (cumulative
six-months $59.2 M) compared to $20.6M (cumulative $44.2 M) for the
same periods in 2012 an increase of $5.3M and 25,7% over Q2-2012.
This increase is explained by an increase in gold production which
compensated the decrease in the average selling price of gold
(Q2-2013 at $1,420 per ounce as compared to $1,607 in Q2-2012).
During the quarter, two sudden gold price declines affected the
Company's gross operating margin (as accumulated ore inventory had
been purchased at costs based on higher gold prices), however, the
gross operating margin for the period amounted to $3.8 M (14.5%)
compared to $ 3.0 M (14.8%) an increase of 26.7% compared to
Q2-2012.
The gold cash gross operating margin per ounce was at $216 in
Q2-2013 compared to $246 in Q2-2012 a 12,2% decrease compared to
2012 mainly due to the decrease in the price of gold during the
period.
During Q2-2013, the Company recorded a net income of $0.9M
($0.03 per share) compared to $1.2M ($0.03 per share) in
Q2-2012.
General and administrative expenses amounted to $1.0M compared
to $0.9M in Q2-2012 explained by increased salaries, professional
fees and office expenses.
During the period, the Company suffered a foreign exchange loss
of $0.3 M on monetary items such as cash and receivables maintained
in Peruvian soles which contributed to the reduction of the period
net income compared to 2012. Also the provision for income tax for
the period amounted to $1.1M compared to $0.8 M in 2012 due to the
greater profitability of the Peruvian ore processing operations
during the period and to a local foreign exchange gain affecting
Peruvian tax over monetary items held in US dollars such as cash
and receivables as US dollar gain over 7% on the Peruvian soles
during the period.
Selling expenses are directly related to sales which therefore
explains the increase of $0.2M over 2012. Financial expenses were
consistent with last year period. Since the warrants were
extinguished in December of 2012, there were no gains or losses
during the quarter compared to a gain of $0.1 in 2012.

(1) EBITDA: "Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization, revaluation of warrants and impairment" is a non-GAAP
financial performance measure with no standard definition under IFRS.
It is therefore possible that this measure could not be comparable
with a similar measure of another company. The Company uses this non-
GAAP measure as an indicator of the cash generated by the operations
and allows investor to compare the profitability of the company with
others by canceling effects of different assets bases, effects due to
different tax structures as well as the effects of different capital
structures. See the 'Non-GAAP Measures' section of this MDA.

per share)) in 2012. Total cash generated from operating activities

and produce 66,000 ounces of gold at its 220 tpd ore processing
plant at Huanca (Acari).
For the first six month of 2013, the Company processed 37,462
DMT of ore and produced 37,920 ounces of gold including an
historical quarterly best of 20,027 ounces of gold during Q1-2013
as the Company purchased from suppliers, ore with higher than
expected gold grades.
As at June 30, 2013, the production in terms of tons processed
is right on target and total ounces produced exceeds 2013 year to
date guidance. The Company is confident that it will meet 2013 gold
production guidance of 66,000 ounces.
