APPENDIX & FOOTNOTES
1. See slides attached for the details of Pallancata and Inmaculada reserve/resource estimates. Please refer to the
Company’s NI 43-101 reports and related news releases filed on SEDAR for a discussion of assumptions,
parameters and material risk factors. Estimated mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have
demonstrated economic viability.
2. The Inmaculada feasibility study information and reserve and resource estimates were announced in a news
release dated January 11, 2012. A Technical Report on Inmaculada was filed by the Company on SEDAR on
February 24, 2012.
3. The Goldfield feasibility study information and reserve and resource estimates were announced in a news release
dated July 17, 2012. A Technical Report on Inmaculada was filed by the Company on SEDAR on August 31, 2012.
4. The Goldfield Main resource estimate is classified in accordance with CIM guidelines by independent consultant R.
Mohan Srivastava, a Qualified Person under NI 43-101 and has an effective date of February 1, 2011.
5. IMZ uses the Gold Institute’s definitions for costs per ounce:
Direct Site Costs per ounce: direct mining costs; processing; mined ore inventory adjustment; mine G&A
costs; and by-product credits.
Total Cash Costs per ounce: Direct Site Costs plus: management fees; product transportation, smelting and
refining costs; and taxes (other than federal income tax).
Total Production Costs per ounce: Total Cash Costs plus: depreciation and amortization. Reclamation costs
are not included by IMZ.
6. IMZ also uses a non Gold Institute definition for costs per ounce:
All-in Mine Costs per ounce: Calculated using the Gold Institute’s Total Cash Costs per ounce using by-
product credits plus sustaining capital, mine development, exploration costs, workers’ profit sharing and
project-specific interest rate.
7. IMZ accounts for its 40% ownership of the Pallancata Mine and the Inmaculada project on an equity accounting
basis.

1. IMZ owns a 40% interest in the Inmaculada project. Under the joint venture agreement signed between IMZ and Hochschild, in December
2010, Hochschild must contribute the first $100 million of feasibility study, project development and capital costs with subsequent costs
funded 60% by Hochschild and 40% by IMZ. Hochschild will receive a 7% management fee as operator of Inmaculada.
2. Initial capital includes $25 million in contingency allowance and is based on Q4 2011 estimates. No escalation factors have been applied.
3. Direct site costs include mining, processing and mine administration. Total cash operating costs include direct site costs plus estimates of
refining charges and government royalty (but do not include workers profit sharing which is 8% of net income). IMZ costs also include
estimate of management fee.
4. Gold equivalent (“gold equiv.”) numbers are estimated using a silver-to-gold ratio of 60:1 calculated by using the ratio of the base case
metal prices.
5. By-product accounting is in accordance with the Gold Institute definition.
