PSM has performed valuations based on: net present value and internal rate of return estimates analyses of comparable transactions plant and equipment value and replacement value Bankable financial models PSM provides detailed mining project financial models to banks and other investors for valuation and sensitivity analyses. These models are based on mine plans and production schedules that reflect historical performance and results, if applicable. For new projects, PSM estimates are designed to be practically achievable based on the actual and likely geological and mining conditions associated with each project. Economic analyses For project optimization, equipment selection or capital justification studies, PSM will develop detailed economic analyses of practical available alternatives. PSM's economic studies focus on determining the estimated life cycle value of each alternative, including impacts on capital and operating costs, production and productivity. Detailed Project and Operations Budgets PSM develops detailed budget models of mines or mining projects for producers, cost-plus contract buyers and financial institutions. Most often, our budget models are zero-based. They are designed to accept annual labour and equipment work effort estimates from detailed mine planning exercises. Overhead costs, burdens and similar charges are based historical values or line item estimates. These are based on the best available information at the time of the budget. Cost, Escalation and Productivity Studies PSM conducts detailed analyses at mines to determine controllable costs, cost escalation, and productivity trends. Coupled with a thorough review of historical work effort records versus plans, these analyses form the basis for recommendations on contract cost escalation factors, controllable costs, and work efficiency and planning improvements to realize significant added value from operations. Mine Reclamation and Closure Liability and Accrual Estimates PSM provides defensible independent estimates and accrual calculations for final mine reclamation and closure. PSM's estimates meet the requirements of U.S. securities regulations including Sarbanes-Oxley. The estimates and accrual calculations are based on work effort and schedules required to fill and reclaim pits and all other mine structures that will remain when all production ceases from a mine area. PSM's estimates are thorough, detailed and fully documented. B. Investment Consulting Investing Wisely PSM provides complete services for mining investment decisions.

F. Project Management Increasingly worldwide... Developers, governments and the public are evaluating mining projects to determine the overall cost-benefit of specific projects. Such analysis goes beyond the cost of building versus the benefit of project output. Whether or not it is codified in law and regulations, environmental impact analysis has become a central part of this evaluation process. The '70s focus on local natural resources-only has grown up. Today, complex analyses of impacts on local natural resources must be integrated with an understanding of mine planning, economics and expected fuel costs under varying scenarios and global markets. Strong effect PSM applies Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to mine management and operations. GIS is a versatile tool that integrates spatial and numeric data, which can provide all the attributes of a specific piece of property, e.g., land owner, lease holder, county, township/city, previous uses, topography, roads, civil features, threatened and endangered species, watershed features and collected data (e.g., soil and water quality). By overlaying these data layers, relationships are determined and patterns recognized. Permit This Mine development and operation, , require acquisition of many various permits, e.g., mining, water rights, waste water discharge country-wide. PSM offers the required components of environmental evaluation and permitting from pre-mining fatal flaw analysis to site closeout and cleanup, including: Fatal flaw analysis Permitting strategy development Baseline studies GIS Services - Baseline Data Management, Compliance Monitoring, Site Assessment, Remediation Planning, Land Owner Tract Information Permit acquisition compliance audits Reclamation planning Bond release AMD remediation Phase I and Phase II environmental site assessments Site closeout and clean up.
