1.0     SUMMARY

        Kinross Gold Corporation (Kinross, or the Company) has asked AMEC E&C
        Services Limited (AMEC) to provide an independent Qualified Person's
        Review and Technical Report of the La Coipa mine. Maryse Belanger,
        P.Geo., who is a member of the Association of Professional Geoscientists
        of Ontario (APGO) and an employee of AMEC, served as the Qualified
        Person responsible for the preparation of the Technical Report as
        defined in National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for
        Mineral Projects, and in compliance with Form 43-101F1 (the "Technical
        Reports"). The work entailed review of pertinent geological, mining and
        metallurgical data in sufficient detail to prepare the Technical Report,
        the purpose of which is to independently support the 2002 La Coipa
        mineral resource and reserve statement.

        The La Coipa mine is located in Region III (Atacama) of northern Chile,
        approximately 1,000 km north of Santiago and 140 km northweast of the
        community of Copiapo, Chile. The mine is operated by a Chilean
        contractual company, Compania Minera de Oro (MDO), a joint venture
        between a wholly-owned subsidiary of Placer Dome Inc. (Placer Dome)
        (50%) and the newly formed Kinross Gold Corporation (50%).

        There are three known deposits remaining within the government-approved
        La Coipa mining area: Coipa Norte and Brecha Norte are currently being
        mined by open pit methods, and Can-can is planned for exploitation
        beginning in 2005. MDO is actively exploring in the district.

        Information and data for the review and report were obtained from the La
        Coipa mine during a site visit by AMEC from 9 to 13 March 2003.
        Background information for property description, land status,
        infrastructure, property history, geology and mineralization was
        obtained from existing company reports, papers and drawings and
        discussions with MDO personnel at the mine site. Detailed data on
        resource and reserve matters (database, resource modelling, production
        reconciliation, mine design, production costs, metallurgical data,
        process costs and general and administrative costs) were made available
        and examined during the site visits. Additional information concerning
        economic factors in support of the mineral reserve designation was
        obtained through discussions with Kinross senior management in Toronto,
        Ontario.

        The deposits in the La Coipa district are typical of high-sulphidation
        epithermal systems produced by volcanism-related hydrothermal activity
        at shallow depths and low temperatures. The mineralization displays
        intense zoning and is characterized by an upper zone of secondary Ag
        enrichment, intermediate levels of Au-Ag in the oxidized zone and
        primary Au-Cu mineralization in the lower reduced zone.

        The database for Coipa Norte resources and reserves is defined by 581
        holes corresponding to 81,702 m of drilling. Brecha Norte resources and
        reserves are now defined by 132 holes and 28,427 m of drilling. Samples
        were assayed for silver, copper and gold. Lab testing also provided
        values for gold recovery, silver recovery, lime consumption and cyanide
        consumption.

        An average specific gravity was developed for typical rock types and
        their associated alteration based on a limited number of measurements.

        The mineral resource and reserve estimates for the two deposits at the
        La Coipa mine were estimated under the direction of Mauricio Rubio, QP
        for resources and Juan Ochoa and Andres F. Guaringa, QP's for reserves.
        The estimates were made from 3-D block models utilizing commercial mine
        planning software (Vulcan(R)). Industry-accepted modelling procedures
        were used to create interpolation domains based on mineralized geology
        and grade estimation based on ordinary kriging and inverse distance
        weighting. Reasonableness of grade interpolation was reviewed by visual
        inspection of sections displaying block model grades, drill hole
        composites and geology. Good agreement was observed. Model checks on
        smoothing were also performed, and an appropriate amount of internal
        dilution was found to be included in the mineral reserve.

        Annual reconciliation and comparison of milled production (mill measured
        grades and tonnage) to the block model (calculated from year-end
        topography) show differences in tonnages and grades. It is expected that
        the new block model will provide better estimates for the remainder of
        the mine life.

        Classification of the mineral resource and reserve at La Coipa is based
        on a combination of drill data density, economic evaluation and
        production. The deposits contain an appropriate density of drilling (25
        m x 25 m), good understanding of the geology and alteration patterns and
        well-known economic and metallurgical performance (through mining
        history).

        The total mineral reserves and resources as of 31 December 2002 are
        summarized in Table 1-1.

        MDO uses a formula that determines the profit for each block in the
        resource models. The defined pit limits are based on the economic model,
        which takes into account all revenues and costs. Reserve calculations
        are based on prices of US$300/oz for gold and US$4.75/oz for silver.
        Additional resources within the designed ultimate pit limits are defined
        at a gold price of US$325/oz and silver price of US$4.75/oz.

        only and forecasts that the deposits will be mined out in 2008.
        Properties surrounding the actual mining area have the potential to
        contain significant new resources.

        Operating costs have been forecast as a function of previous costs.
        Details of economic and sensitivity analyses, environmental and
        geotechnical considerations were reviewed. All were complete and fall
        within accepted industry standards.

        AMEC concludes that the 31 December 2002 mineral resource and mineral
        reserve statement for the La Coipa Mine is supported by this independent
        review.

2.0     INTRODUCTION AND TERMS OF REFERENCE

        Kinross commissioned AMEC E&C Services Limited (AMEC) to provide an
        independent Qualified Person's Review and Technical Report of the La
        Coipa mine. The mine is operated by Compania Minera de Oro (MDO), a
        joint venture between Placer Dome (50%) and Kinross (50%).

        Maryse Belanger, P.Geo., an employee of AMEC, served as the Qualified
        Person responsible for the preparation of the Technical Report as
        defined in National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for
        Mineral Projects, and in compliance with Form 43-101F1 (the "Technical
        Reports").

        Information and data for the review and report were obtained from La
        Coipa mine staff during a visit to site by AMEC on 10 to 13 March 2003.
        Additional information was obtained from MDO's office in Copiapo, Chile,
        and Kinross' office in Toronto, Ontario.

        The work entailed review of pertinent geological, mining and
        metallurgical data in sufficient detail to prepare the Technical Report.
        Maryse Belanger, in addition to supervising the preparation of the
        Technical Report, conducted and supervised the review of the geological
        data. Brian Connolly, P. Eng., who reviewed mining issues, and Brian
        Kennedy, P. Eng., who conducted the review on metallurgical matters,
        provided qualified person assistance.

        The La Coipa mine area contains a series of deposits. The Coipa Norte
        and Brecha Norte deposits are currently being mined. The Can-can deposit
        is forecast to be mined in the future. Reserves at Ladera-Farellon have
        been exhausted. Other areas, including Esperanza, Maritza and Puren
        Norte, represent separate, unexploited deposits that are currently being
        delineated.

        The SI system of measurement is used at the La Coipa mine.

4.0     PROPERTY DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

        The La Coipa mine is located in Region III (Atacama) of northern Chile,
        approximately 1,000 km north of Santiago and 140 km northeast of the
        community of Copiapo, Chile (see Figure 4-1).

        There are three known deposits remaining within the government approved
        La Coipa mining area. These include Coipa Norte and Brecha Norte,
        currently being mined by open pit methods, and Can-Can, planned for
        exploitation beginning in 2005 (see Table 4-1 and Figures 4-2 and 4-3).

        MDO has obtained a series of permits that allow exploration and mining
        activities to proceed in the La Coipa area. The exploration permits are
        valid for a two-year period from the date they are declared in force and
        can be renewed once for another two-year period. Thereafter the size of
        the exploration permit area must be reduced by half. MDO can elect to
        apply for mining concessions in areas where exploration concessions are
        held.

        Under Chilean regulations the exploitation or mining concessions can be
        held indefinitely as long as the annual fees are paid to keep the
        permits in good standing. The exploitation permits covering the La Coipa
        area give MDO the right to extract the ore and to sell the final
        products into the open market.

        A detailed list of mining and exploration concessions held by MDO is
        attached in Appendix A. MDO's land position, including the number of
        concessions and hectares, is summarized in Table 4-2.

5.0     ACCESSIBILITY, CLIMATE, LOCAL RESOURCES, INFRASTRUCTURE AND PHYSIOGRAPHY

        The La Coipa mine is located in Region III (Atacama) of northern Chile,
        approximately 1,000 km north of Santiago, the capital of Chile. The road
        distance between Copiapo, the nearest city, and La Coipa is
        approximately 140 km. The first 30 km are paved and the remaining part
        is a third-class dirt road; the road is in good condition but can be icy
        during the winter. Copiapo is served daily by commercial airline from
        Santiago. The nearest port, Caldera, is 80 km west of Copiapo. The mine
        is connected to the Chilean national power grid system.

        The mine lies in the Domeyko Cordillera between 3,800 m and 4,400 masl,
        with the staff accommodations and facilities situated at approximately
        3,300 m elevation. The plant site elevation is 3,815 m, and current and
        future mining operations are at elevations ranging from 4,040 m to 4,390
        m.

        The climate at site is considered pre-arid Mediterranean, subject to low
        temperatures, strong winds and some snow during the winter. Despite the
        adverse climate, mining operations are performed year-round without
        interruption. Temperatures range from a high of 25(degree)C in the
        summer (January) to a low of approximately -10(degree)C in the winter
        (August). Water is scarce in the area, but the Maricunga Salar provides
        sufficient water to fulfill industrial needs through a 40 km pipeline.
        Vegetation is sparse. Wildlife observed in the region around the mine
        includes foxes, vicunas and guanacos. Pink flamingos are also frequently
        seen around the salars except during their migration period in the
        winter.

6.0     HISTORY

        The earliest written information about La Coipa as a precious metal
        prospect dates back almost a century, when a small underground
        copper-silver mine was in operation about 2 km southeast of the
        present-day operations. Regional resources have been sporadically
        exploited since then, but the La Coipa area itself did not receive any
        attention from exploration geologists until the late 1970s.

        After the discovery of the high-grade El Indio deposit in 1975, new
        interest was focused on exploration in the high Andes. Several
        international mining companies became involved in exploring the
        anomalies related to Upper Tertiary volcanic rocks in northern Chile.
        The Maricunga district became one of the most active exploration areas
        in the world. A number of deposits, none of them similar to El Indio,
        were found in the district between 1980 and 1985. These include La
        Coipa, Esperanza, Lobo-Marte, El Hueso, La Pepa and Pantanillos. More
        than 8 M oz of gold were discovered in the district during this period.

        In the late 1970s, the La Coipa area attracted several exploration
        companies because of its outstanding colour anomaly and the discovery of
        gold-bearing structures by independent pick-and-shovel miners at Don
        Eduardo, located between the Farellon and Coipa Norte orebodies.
        Exploraciones y Minerales Sierra Morena S.A. (SMSA), a subsidiary first
        of Phelps Dodge and later of Goldfields Mining Corporation, started
        systematic exploration at La Coipa in mid-1981. Results from 1,750 soil
        samples collected at 100 m x 50 m spacings indicated several anomalous
        areas and maximum values of 900 ppm Ag and 12 ppm Au. Detailed mapping
        and additional sampling continued, but the geologic nature of the target
        was not better defined until September 1982, when a 60 m long channel
        sample yielded an average silver grade of 668.7 g/t. Following this, an
        early geologic model was outlined and a percussion drilling campaign was
        initiated. Hole 9, considered the discovery hole in the Ladera Zone, had
        a 72 m interval with silver grading between 93 g/t and 187 g/t and a
        gold grade above 3 g/t.

        Although hampered by complex lawsuits, SMSA explored the La Coipa area
        between 1982 and 1985, drilling approximately 90,000 m and carrying out
        800 m of underground development. The program resulted in the discovery
        of the Ladera-Farellon and Coipa Norte orebodies. The lawsuits, which
        obstructed the development of La Coipa, were settled in 1987 when a
        Brazilian investor purchased the litigants' interests. Additional
        exploration, the construction of a 1,000 t/d plant and feasibility
        studies for a 15,000 t/d plant began immediately. Based on a cutoff
        grade of 1.0 g/t Au-equivalent, the reserves for Ladera-Farellon were
        estimated at 52.1 Mt at an average grade of 1.58 g/t Au and 60.36 g/t
        Ag. The reserves at Coipa Norte stood at 9.15 Mt grading 0.19 g/t Au and
        171.7 g/t Ag. At the time these reserves were sufficient for a 12-year
        mine life.

7.0     GEOLOGICAL SETTING

7.1     INTRODUCTION

        The La Coipa deposit occupies the northern end of the Maricunga Belt,
        which contains several well-known base metals and precious metals
        deposits such as Cerro Casale, Refugio, Marte and El Hueso. The gold and
        silver epithermal mineralization at La Coipa occurs in Miocene dacitic
        volcanic rocks and Triassic lutites and interbedded sandstones of the
        Estrados del Mono Formation.

        The style of alteration and mineralization widespread throughout the La
        Coipa area is characteristic of high-sulphidation epithermal systems,
        with energite and alunite as key minerals. Structural controls on
        mineralization are dominant at La Coipa, but lithological controls are
        also present. The alteration zoning displayed is relatively constant and
        consistent with classic zoning of high-sulphidation epithermal deposits:
        from alteration cores of residual/vuggy silica and massive
        silicification (silicic alteration) to envelopes of advanced argillic
        and argillic alteration, roughly in concentric zones outwards. In
        addition, the Coipa Norte orebody contains a shallow, steam-heated
        cover, which represents the upper part of the epithermal system.

        It is AMEC's opinion that the La Coipa geologists have developed a very
        good understanding of the geology, the mineralization and its lithologic
        and structural controls. The geological staff is very experienced and
        has drawn on its collective experience in the Maricunga Belt to develop
        a sound geologic model for the La Coipa Mine high-sulphidation system.

7.2     REGIONAL GEOLOGIC SETTING

        The oldest rocks cropping out at La Coipa are Devonian to Carboniferous
        sandstones, shales and mudstones of the Chinches Formation, overlain by
        Permo-Triassic dacite to andesite flows assigned to the Pantanoso
        Formation or El Leoncito sequence

        The Mesozoic cover is formed by sedimentary rocks, mainly arkosic
        sandstones and carbonaceous black shales of the late Triassic La Ternera
        Formation (Bruggen, 1950), Jurassic marine limestone and volcanic rocks
        of the Lautaro Formation, sandstone of the late Jurassic to early
        Cretaceous Quebrada Monardes Formation, and volcaniclastic rocks of the
        late Cretaceous Quebrada Seca Formation. The Mesozoic cover is capped by
        andesitic breccias and agglomerates of late Cretaceous to early Tertiary
        age.

        The late Triassic rocks, mainly carbonaceous black shales, form the
        basement at La Coipa and are a significant host for mineralization.

        GOLD CORPORATION    LA COIPA MINE, CHILE


        A north-northeast/south-southwest-trending volcanic cordillera, called
        the West Volcanic Ridge, was developed during the Tertiary. Its
        statigraphically lowest part (25 to 20 Ma; late Oligocene to early
        Miocene) is composed of rhyolitic to dacitic tuffs, breccias and domes,
        whereas the upper section is composed of dacite to andesite flows,
        feeders and related strato-volcanoes (20 to 14 Ma; early to mid-Miocene)
        of the Cerros Bravos volcanic complex. The Au-Ag orebodies at La Coipa
        are partially hosted by the lower unit.

        Late Miocene gravels and interbedded ignimbrites of the San Andaes
        Formation complete the stratigraphic column of the region.

        The oldest intrusive rocks are late Paleozoic granitoids that occur
        mainly in the northern and southern parts of the area.
        North-south-trending Paleocene to Eocene tonalite porphyries crop out in
        a discontinuous belt in the central part. Small dacite to andesite
        domes, dikes and sills related to the Tertiary volcanic rocks occur
        locally.

        The La Coipa area is characterized by
        north-northeast/south-southwest-trending horsts and grabens, the
        products of reverse faulting, which are concealed by early to
        mid-Miocene volcanic rocks. A later set of northwest-southeast-trending
        normal faults and a secondary set of northeast-southwest-striking faults
        were superimposed (Figure 7-2). Intersections of the reverse and normal
        fault systems controlled the location of Tertiary volcanic rocks at La
        Coipa.

7.3     LOCAL GEOLOGY

7.3.1   STRATIGRAPHY

        The main lithostratigraphic units at La Coipa are the Triassic La
        Ternera Formation and the overlying Tertiary volcanic rocks, both of
        which host mineralization. A complete sequence of Masozoic to Cenozoic
        formations is present in other areas (Figure 7-1), but at La Coipa and
        in neighbouring areas, the Cenozoic volcanic rocks lie directly over the
        Triassic sedimentary sequence.

        The Triassic La Ternera Formation consists mainly of black shale
        interbedded with feldspathic sandstone. Thin (2 mm) carbonaceous and
        bituminous layers are observed. Red sandstone with gypsum layers and
        fracture fillings crop out east of Ladera-Farellon; their age is
        unknown.

        The Tertiary volcanic sequence overlies the La Ternera Formation at La
        Coipa. This important unit consists of pyroclastic rocks, volcanogenic
        sediments, tuffs and locally latite breccias, dacite flows and quartz
        latites intruded by dikes, sills and domes of similar composition. The
        volcanic event closed with accumulation of a felsic tuff sequence.

        A shale fragment breccia is present locally between the Triassic and
        Tertiary sequences. This unit, recognized in a number of diamond drill
        core samples from the Ladera area, is believed to represent a talus
        breccia formed during horst and graben development. The horizon is a
        favourable host for high-grade ore, probably because of its textural
        characteristics.

7.3.2   INTRUSIVE ROCKS

        Two types of intrusive rocks are recognized at La Coipa: a few small
        latite dikes and sills in the west (21 Ma), and dacite plugs (22-23 Ma)
        in the central and surrounding areas of the mineralized zones.

        Dacite is the dominant intrusive rock in the La Coipa district. It forms
        plugs that crop out in northwest-southeast-trending belts east of the
        main mineralized zones, Ladera-Farellon and Coipa Norte, as well as in a
        similar-trending belt east of Quebrada Los Terneros. The emplacement of
        these intrusive bodies was controlled by zones of weakness following the
        north-northeast/south-southwest-trending reverse faults and associated
        northwest-southeast-trending normal faults.

        The dacite plugs have no observable intrusive contacts with the volcanic
        sequence that hosts mineralization. Nevertheless, their ages are similar
        and their spatial relationships close. Thus, it is probable that they
        played an important role in the alteration-mineralization episode at La
        Coipa. Indeed, a dacite dome southeast of Ladera-Farellon hosts copper-
        and silver-bearing veins that have been mined sporadically since the end
        of the last century.

7.3.3   STRUCTURES

        The structural model used successfully in exploration considers a
        structural control defined by north-south strike-slip faults. Dextral
        movement along these faults generated a subordinate set of structures
        characterized by northeast-oriented dilational jogs that provided
        efficient conduits for magmatic fluids to ascend to shallower crustal
        levels from a likely porphyry source. At least two plumbing systems
        appear to have been formed. Post-mineralization faulting along
        left-lateral northwest structures resulted in step-like displacements
        that produced the current configuration of the principal orebodies in
        the La Coipa mine area.

7.3.4   SURFACE GEOCHEMISTRY

        During 1981, SMSA's exploration program at La Coipa was centred on four
        areas totalling 12 km2: Sector Norte (Coipa Norte), hill 4397 (Can-can),
        Don Eduardo and hill 4308 (Ladera-Farellon).

        An area of 2 km x 3 km was covered by a 100 m x 50 m geochemical soil
        grid from which 1,750 samples were collected and assayed for gold and
        silver. In addition, samples were taken from outcrops that showed
        indications of gold and silver mineralization. Three anomalous zones
        were detected: Ladera-Farellon, Don Eduardo and Coipa Norte. The Can-Can
        anomaly was defined later during road-cut and trench samplings.
        Extremely high silver values present at the surface made systematic
        geochemistry for other elements unnecessary.

        GOLD CORPORATION    LA COIPA MINE, CHILE


7.3.5   ALTERATION

        SILIFICATION: This type of alteration occurs in brecciated zones
        adjacent to structures with high silver and gold contents but most
        commonly as lenses within pervasively replaced tuffs or tuffaceous
        breccias that are not always associated with high precious metal values.
        Silicified, brecciated zones are typically associated with a very high
        content of limonite, including jarosite. Silicifaction is dominant in
        the upper parts of Coipa Norte and to a lesser degree at Ladera.

        ADVANCED ARGILLIC ALTERATION (ALUNITE-KAOLINITE + DICKITE-QUARTZ): This
        alteration assemblage is associated mainly with high gold grades,
        largely in the eastern part of Coipa Norte and Farellon. Alunite is
        found in stockwork veinlets and is associated generally with jarosite
        and locally scorodite. The gold mineralization at Farellon is associated
        closely with alunite, with the highest gold grades restricted to the
        alunite stockwork, whereas the surrounding rock carries low-grade,
        disseminated values. The advanced argillic assemblage is also observed
        in the lower parts of the high-grade silver orebody. Advanced argillic
        alteration in the Ladera area is restricted to the deepest zone.

        INTERMEDIATE ARGILLIC ALTERATION (ILLITE-SMECTITE + SERICITE): Clays and
        white mica occur peripheral to the ore-bearing zones or within strongly
        fractured fault zones. Precious metal mineralization is rather uncommon
        in intermediate argillic alteration zones. Nevertheless, small,
        silver-rich lenses are associated with this clay assemblage, both at
        Ladera and in the western silver-rich orebody at Coipa Norte.

        VUGGY SILICA ALTERATION: This alteration type, dominant in and above the
        Ladera orebody, is believed to be a product of hydrothermal leaching
        under highly acid conditions that occurred in the upper parts of this
        sector.

        SUPERGENE ALTERATION (JAROSITE-GOETHITE + GYPSUM + BARITE): Supergene
        alteration is dominant in most of the Ladera orebody and in the upper
        and deep, highly fractured zones of Farellon and Coipa Norte. This
        mineral assemblage occurs mainly in vugs within previously leached rocks
        and, less commonly, in veinlets that crosscut them. The most common
        minerals are jarosite and goethite. Gypsum and barite are remnants in
        the upper parts of the supergene altered zones. Nevertheless,
        well-formed crystals have been encountered locally at depth.

8.0     DEPOSIT TYPES

        The deposits in the La Coipa district are typical of high-sulphidation
        epithermal systems produced by volcanism-related hydrothermal activity
        at shallow depths and low temperatures. Deposition normally takes place
        within 1 km of the surface in the temperature range of 50(degree)C to
        200(degree)C, although temperatures up to 400(degree)C are not uncommon.
        Most deposits occur as siliceous vein fillings, irregular branching
        fissures, stockworks, breccia pipes, vesicle fillings and
        disseminations. The fissures have a direct connection with the surface,
        which allowed the ore-bearing fluids to flow with comparative ease. In
        many cases the deposits are related directly to deep-seated intrusive
        bodies; it is typical for most ores to be in or near areas of Tertiary
        volcanism. The country rocks located near epithermal veins are commonly
        extensively altered. Relatively high porosity and open-channel
        permeability allow fluids to circulate in the wall rocks for great
        distances. Favourable temperature gradients promote reactions between
        cool host rocks and warm to hot invading solutions. As a result,
        wall-rock alteration is both widespread and conspicuous. Among the
        principal alteration products are chlorite, sericite, alunite, zeolites,
        clays, adularia, silica and pyrite.

        Figures 8-1 to 8-4 show the genesis of the deposit.

9.0     MINERALIZATION

        The mineralization at La Coipa displays intense zoning and is
        characterized by an upper zone of secondary Ag enrichment, intermediate
        levels of Au-Ag in the oxidized zone and primary Au-Cu mineralization in
        the lower reduced zone. In the Au-Ag zone, mineralization forms
        disseminated and structurally controlled deposits. Disseminated deposits
        occur within both the volcanic and the sedimentary basement rocks,
        closely associated with silicic and advanced argillic alteration.
        Structurally controlled deposits typically formed at lower elevations,
        but still occur within the precious metal zone. They are often hosted by
        basement metamorphic rocks (lutites and sandstones) and often display
        higher grades. Different controls on the mineralization are consistent
        with what has been observed at the deeper levels of Cu-Au mineralization
        at Ladera-Farellon and Can-Can. Grades of up to 4% Cu is common in veins
        and manto-like bodies.

        The mineralogy of the precious metals mineralization within the oxidized
        and enrichment zone consists mainly of cerargyrite, native Au, native Ag
        and electrum with minimal embolite, iodargyrite and argentojarosite.
        Within the sulphide zone, enargite and native Au are the dominant
        minerals, but variable amounts of chalcopyrite, bornite, covellite,
        mineralization tenantite-tetrahedrite, sphalerite and galena are also
        present. In general these sulphides appear as fine veinlets in weakly
        altered black shales.

        Gold mineralization is found generally in association with powdery
        alunite, distributed along stockwork fractures varying from 50 um to
        fractions of a micron. Jarosite and scorodite are common minerals in
        gold-bearing alunitic stockworks. Gold is normally in the native state,
        although electrum is detected locally.

        High gold values in the eastern portion of Coipa Norte are in direct
        association with advanced argillic alteration. Higher silver grades
        accompanied by little or no gold, especially those in western Coipa
        Norte, are associated mainly with silicification and less commonly with
        advanced argillic assemblages.

10.0    EXPLORATION

        Exploration work in the La Coipa district started in the late 1800s and
        has been ongoing since, although the property ownership changed a number
        of times. Modern exploration techniques have been implemented starting
        in the late 1970s to early 1980s. They included geological mapping,
        geochemistry, channel sampling, drilling and 800 m of underground
        development.

        The original geochemical surveys were generally large surveys covering
        specific geological targets. The underground development focused in the
        Can-Can area.

        MDO continues to explore in the area and is concentrating its efforts on
        the following prospects: Minex, Puren Norte, Esperanza, Pastos Largos,
        Pompeya LasVetas and Zona Norte. Exploration expenditures are budgeted
        at US$3.9 M for 2003. Currently, exploration activity is focused on
        evaluating the potential of the Puren Norte prospect where initial
        exploration results have been positive.

11.0    DRILLING

        Since 1984, MDO has drilled 97,225 m in 2,002 holes in the La Coipa
        mining area (see Tables 11-1 and 11-2). This drilling consists of 1,746
        reverse circulation holes and 256 diamond drill holes, mostly HQ3 size.
        Most of the exploration drilling was completed with reverse circulation
        holes. Ore delineation in the pits is done with reverse circulation
        holes that rarely exceed depths of 200 m.

        On completion of drilling, the exploration holes at La Coipa are
        surveyed by the mine surveyors. All exploration holes on the properties
        have been surveyed. These holes have also been down-hole surveyed at
        approximately 20 m intervals and at the bottom of the hole using a
        single-shot Sperry Sun instrument. In some of the drill holes, the
        down-hole survey measurements were collected with a gyroscope. Most of
        the exploration holes are inclined holes.

        Since 1984, 29,196 m in 144 drill holes have been completed in Brecha
        Norte. Drill spacing is nominally 50 m x 50 m with in-pit drilling on a
        25 m x 25 m grid. Figure 11-2 shows the locations of the drill collars
        relative to the planned pit area.

11.3    CORE LOGGING PROCEDURES

        Core is delivered to the exploration storage building located by the
        camp at the La Coipa mine complex. A geologist completes a written log
        for the hole that includes geological and geotechnical information. All
        drilling, logging and sampling at the La Coipa mine is in the SI system
        of measurement.

        The geological data include identification of specific geological
        formations, colour, alterations, presence and visual estimate of
        sulphide and oxide minerals, nature of fracture filling and a detailed
        geological description of the core that includes textural and lithologic
        characteristics, contact styles and mineralization.

        Geotechnical data are also recorded. For orientated HQ3-size holes,
        these data include recovery, rock quality designation (RQD), fracture
        frequency (FF), index rock stress (IRS), joint condition, weathering and
        hardness. Structures are described with measurements to determine top,
        bottom, orientations and dip angles.

        For the exploration diamond drill holes that are not orientated, RQD,
        fracture frequency (FF) and detailed geology are recorded.

        Core recovery is calculated by cumulatively measuring the pieces of core
        between two length markers in the core box. This measured length is then
        described as a percentage of the actual core length as indicated by the
        length markers. RQD measurements are captured for pieces of core that
        are greater than twice the core diameter. For HQ drilling the core
        pieces must be more than 7.6 cm long and for NQ drilling, 10.2 cm. RQD
        is calculated as a percentage of all core pieces longer than the minimum
        requirement for each 2 m length of the drill hole. Fracture intensity is
        measured by counting the number of open fractures (actual breaks in core
        competency) for every 20 cm of core.

        Reverse circulation chips are collected in large sample bags
        (approximately 28 kgs) and delivered to the storage area. The same
        logging forms are completed with a full description of the chips.
        Emphasis is placed on geology, alteration and its mineralogy and the
        presence of mineralization.

12.0    SAMPLING METHOD AND APPROACH

        Various drilling methods and sampling protocols have been used at La
        Coipa. Diamond drill holes completed during the exploration phase were
        systematically sampled in 2 m intervals. MDO geologists sampled the full
        length of core drilled. Half the core was sent for assaying and the
        other half stored in a warehouse near the camp facilities.

        Reverse circulation holes for both exploration and in-pit drilling are
        sampled in 2 m long "runs." All drill chips are also stored in the same
        location as the core.

        Standards are inserted by the mine laboratory. Duplicate analyses are
        done from time to time at independent labs, including pulp duplicates of
        selected samples.

13.0    SAMPLE PREPARATION, ANALYSES AND SECURITY

        Over the years MDO has undertaken extensive studies with the help of
        consultants on sampling and assaying procedures for the various ore
        types encountered at La Coipa. The lab carefully monitors its
        performance in all aspects of sample preparation and assaying for
        exploration activities, the mine, the plant and the refinery. As part of
        its monitoring program, the lab recently participated in round-robin
        testing in concert with six other labs in Chile. The sampling and
        assaying protocol for exploration and blast hole samples with an
        original weight of approximately 8 kg is as follows:

        The samples processed at the assay laboratory are dried at 105(degree)C
        for 3 hours and then crushed to 100% passing 0.25" using a Rhino jaw
        crusher. The samples analyzed for mercury are dried at 40(degree)C.
        Samples are crushed again and riffled using a 1/4" Jones Riffle to
        approximately 800 g for the blast hole samples and to approximately 400
        g for the exploration samples. The remaining portions of the crushed
        samples are placed in clean, labelled plastic containers for storage.
        The riffled samples are pulverized to 100% passing minus 150 mesh to
        make a sample pulp. Analyses are performed at the mine laboratory, with
        some exploration samples sent to Geoanalitica Lab. Table 13-1 shows the
        analytical method and detection limits used for each of the metals. The
        remainder of the samples are stored at the exploration facility near the
        camp. Silver, gold and copper analyses are performed systematically for
        all samples. All samples are assayed for silver and gold by fire assay
        and atomic absorption techniques and for copper by atomic absorption.
        Detailed assaying procedures are included in Appendix C.

        Silver          Aqua Regia/AAS                     1 g/t
        ----------------------------------------------------------------

        AMEC notes that using aqua regia digestion instead of a four-acid
        digestion could be a problem in this type of deposit, as Ag can become
        encapsulated, and some sulphosalts will not fully dissolve. The presence
        of sulphosalts has in fact been documented at La Coipa Norte (Oviedo et
        al., 1991).

13.1    INTERNAL CHECKS

        The La Coipa lab performs numerous control checks when the drill or
        blast hole samples are received for preparation and analysis. The lab
        department employs a set of quality assurance and quality control
        (QA/QC) protocols to monitor its own performance. Approximately 10% to
        15% of the samples analyzed are checked.

        Analytical accuracy is monitored with the insertion of commercially
        prepared standard reference materials.

        In 2002, three different standards (Standard 1, Standard 2 and Standard
        3) were inserted, and the results were compiled on a monthly basis. The
        results are presented in chronological order in Figure 13-1. It is
        AMEC's opinion that the standards analysis displays no systemic problems
        and that the control procedures in place are adequate.

        Pulp duplicate samples were also inserted to monitor analytical
        precision during the 2002 lab work. Figures 13-2 to 13-3 show the
        results of the duplicate analyses. The graphs demonstrate very good
        correlation between the original and the re-assay results. As part of
        its QA/QC procedures, the lab provides an explanation for any sample
        with poor repeatability; these exceptions are listed and tracked to
        original sample preparation.

13.2    EXTERNAL CHECKS

        From 1999 to 2001, the independent Geoanalytica Lab analyzed 1,676
        exploration samples and compared them with coarse reject duplicates
        analyzed by ALS Geolab. The results for Ag, Au and Cu are presented in
        Figures 13-4 to 13-8. The graph for the

        copper reject duplicates shows a bias for the values above 0.7% Cu. In
        AMEC's opinion it is probably a sample bias introduced by trying to
        replicate high grade values in small samples. Overall the grades show no
        systematic bias and would satisfy AMEC's criterion that 90% of the
        samples for coarse reject duplicates should be within 30% of the
        original values.

14.0    DATA VERIFICATION

        The mine site database received from La Coipa contained survey
        locations, assays and lithology data for the exploration drilling. As a
        test for data integrity, AMEC checked the assay, geological and survey
        data stored in the project database against original assay certificates,
        geological logs and survey pick-ups where possible. Six holes were
        chosen to be checked from each of the Coipa Norte and Brecha Norte
        areas. These are listed in Table 14-1.

        AMEC found no errors in the database for the 12 checked holes. Hole
        BN-61 did not contain any assay or downhole survey information, and so
        was not checked by AMEC.

        Based on the results for La Coipa, AMEC concludes that the geology and
        assay database is sufficiently free of error to support mineral resource
        estimation.

15.0    ADJACENT PROPERTIES

        MDO has been extensively exploring the area around the La Coipa mine.
        The most promising property identified to date is Puren Norte, where the
        potential exists for finding new Au-Ag resources that would extend the
        life of the La Coipa mining operations. MDO has entered into a joint
        venture agreement with Codelco and will explore on the Puren property
        during the remainder of year 2003. Figure 15-1 shows the location of the
        property.

16.0    MINERAL PROCESSING AND METALLURGICAL TESTING

16.1    PLANT OPERATIONS

        Plant production data provided for review were in the form of electronic
        summary data tables and Mina La Coipa's Strategic Business Plan 2002,
        Executive Summary. Based on the reported 2001 and 2002 operating
        results, the La Coipa mill has been processing 17,385 t/d since the
        pre-crushing expansion, which was completed in late 1999.

16.2    METALLURGICAL RECOVERY

        In the last few years of operation (2000-2002), where the ore tonnage
        processed was at the current capacity of the mill (17,000 t/d), head
        grades varied from 0.39 to 1.36 g/t Au and 49.0 to 150.0 g/t Ag and
        averaged 0.85 g/t Au and 82.2 g/t Ag. Reported monthly recoveries during
        this time varied from 75.7% to 85.9% for gold and 50.9% to 74.3% for
        silver, and averaged 82.8% for gold and 63.0% for silver.

        No information was available on the ore types processed through the
        mill, including metallurgical testwork or analysis of gold and silver
        grades by ore type. La Coipa indicates that six different ore types will
        be processed through the mill in the next five years (2003 through
        2008).

16.3    OPERATING COSTS

        Reported mill operating costs were $5.50/t milled in 2000, $5.06/t
        milled in 2001 and $4.80/t milled in 2002. Between 2001 and 2002, power
        consumption reportedly declined by 3%, cyanide by 15%, lime by 15% and
        grinding media by 22%. AMEC has not reviewed in detail the factors
        explaining the reasons for this decline, (e.g., reconciliation of
        soluble losses or differing ore types).

16.4    FUTURE PROJECTIONS

        The projected production plan is based on a mill throughput of 17,333
        t/d, with variable head grades and overall recoveries. The gold grade in
        the production plan for years 2003 through 2008 ranges from 0.89 to 1.52
        g/t Au and 39 to 63.8 g/t Ag. Projected recoveries varies vary from 72.3
        to 82.9 % Au and 57.9 to 67.6% Ag.

        La Coipa's projected mill throughput is reasonable, considering its past
        successful operation at this production level. The ore types to be
        delivered to the mill, together with individual head grade and recovery
        projections, were documented on the

        summary tables provided by La Coipa. The overall average recoveries by
        year are consistent with those achieved in 2000 to 2002.

        Projected operating costs for the mill for 2003 through 2008 vary from
        4.68 to $4.98/t milled.

        These cost projections appear reasonable when compared to the recent
        mill operating cost results.

17.0    MINERAL MAXIMUM BLOCK SIZE AXIS MINIMUM RESOURCE (M) AND (M) MINERAL
        RESERVE ESTIMATES

        Jose Luis Cespedes, a Chilean consultant, estimated the mineral resource
        and reserve estimates for the Coipa Norte and Brecha Norte deposits. Mr.
        Cespedes worked under the direct supervision of Juan Ochoa M, Chief
        Engineer; Andres Guaringa, Mining Engineer (reserves); and Mauricio
        Rubio G., Senior Geologist responsible for production. They are members
        of the AusIMM and therefore are Qualified Persons for MDO as defined in
        National Instrument 43-101.

        The estimates were made from 3-D block models utilizing commercial mine
        planning software (Vulcan(R)). As part of AMEC's independent review,
        grade interpolatio parameters n were examined for suitability and the
        models checked for validity. The resource and reserve calculation method
        and appropriaten of ess resource and reserve classificati categories on
        used were also examined.

17.1    GEOLOGIC MODELS

        The deposits exist in two geologic block models, Coipa Norte and Brecha
        Norte. Limits and cell block sizes for each Vulcan(R) project are shown
        in Table 17-1.

        The modelling philosophy for the resources calculated during 2002
        presents a definitive departure from the simplified geologic models used
        in the past. It has been recognized that geologic and alteration
        features are important in defining units controlling the extent of
        mineralization. MDO found that the simplified approach that worked well
        in the past at Ladera-Farellon was inadequate for Coipa Norte and Brecha
        Norte.

        The geologic and alteration features were modelled extensively in the
        course of 2002. Solid models were created from different geologic
        sections at intervals of 25 m to 50 m. AMEC reviewed these sections and
        agreed with the geological and structural interpretation completed by
        MDO. These models were incorporated in detailed statistical analyses
        that helped to define geologic units (UG, or Unidad Geologica de

        Norte comprises 132 holes and 28,427 m. All exploratory data analysis
        (EDA) was performed on declustered samples for each of the geologic
        units. The assays were composited into 4 m lengths for silver, gold and
        copper. A composite length of 10 m was used for the recoveries and

        At Coipa Norte, a comparison between 10 m blast holes and composited
        drill holes showed differences in the order of 4% to 5% for UG1 and UG2.
        However, it was concluded that the databases are compatible and
        therefore could be used together for the resource estimation. No blast
        hole data were used for the resource estimation at Brecha Norte.

        MDO also conducted extensive spatial analyses of composites from drill
        hole data using multi-directional variograms. AMEC reviewed this work
        and found that the interpreted models were reasonable.

        The detailed variogram results and associated models are found in
        Appendix D.

17.3    SPECIFIC GRAVITIES

        The specific gravity database used for the current estimates at La Coipa
        includes measurements from various drilling programs. AMEC reviewed the
        specific gravity used for the block model and found some differences, in
        the order of 3% to 5% depending on the rock type (see Table 17-5).

        The SG measurements indicate that the ore tonnages, and therefore
        reserves, may be overestimated in some cases and underestimated in
        others. The small number of determinations for some of the rock type may
        introduce an error that has not been quantified. It should be noted that
        these expected percentages fall generally within the margin of error for
        the reserve calculation, however, and that AMEC does not recommend the
        tonnages shown in the life-of-mine plan be changed.

17.4    CAPPING

        As a means to limit the influence of outliers, MDO defined some capping
        levels on a domain-by-domain basis. For Coipa Norte, the capping
        affected the top 1% silver and gold values except for silver in UG4,
        which was capped at the 97th percentile. This would amount to a
        reduction in the contained metal of 10% to 43% for silver depending on
        the unit. For gold, the effect is a reduction of 8% in the small UG4
        geologic unit up to a reduction of 28% in UG1. The effect on the
        contained metal at Brecha Norte is comparable, with decreases ranging
        from 9% to 15% for silver and 13% to 25% for the gold.

17.5    INTERPOLATION PLANS

        MDO reports mineral resources and reserves based on profit calculations.
        This requires an estimate of metal recoveries and process cost
        parameters such as cyanide and lime consumption. Resources and reserves
        are not based on a cutoff grade.

        For Coipa Norte, gold, silver and copper were estimated by ordinary
        kriging (OK). Silver recovery was estimated using the indicator kriging
        (IK) method with a threshold of 45%. Cyanide consumption and lime
        consumptions were estimated by inverse distance weighting (ID). For
        Brecha Norte, silver, gold and copper grades were estimated by ordinary
        kriging, with gold recovery, silver recovery, lime consumption and
        cyanide consumption estimated by a simple ID algorithm. All domains or
        geologic units (UG) were treated as hard boundaries; this means that
        only composite values of the same ore type or geology code as the model
        block could be used to interpolate the grades for that block. The
        interpolation parameters vary greatly, since the plans developed
        incorporate the geologic information collected during the modelling
        exercise completed in mid-2002.

        COIPA NORTE PLAN

        o       Minimum composites to interpolate a model block = 2 to 3

        o       Maximum composites to interpolate a model block = 7 to 12

        o       Maximum X (east) search = 21 to 120 m

        o       Maximum Y (north) search = 5 to 150 m

        o       Maximum Z (elevation) search = 5 to 40 m

        BRECHA NORTE PLAN

        o       Minimum composites to interpolate a model block = 3 to 4

        o       Maximum composites to interpolate a model block = 10 to 12

        o       Maximum X (east) search = 5 to 125 m

        o       Maximum Y (north) search = 5 to 125 m

        o       Maximum Z (elevation) search = 5 to 40 m

17.6    MODEL VALIDATION

        AMEC completed a reasonableness review of the block models, looking
        primarily at the grade interpolation relative to drill hole composite
        values. This was done mainly by inspecting sections and plans. Overall
        good agreement exists between the composite and model block silver, gold
        and copper values.

        To check the smoothing in the block model, AMEC constructed
        change-of-support models. AMEC used the variogram parameters defined by
        MDO to calculate block dispersion variances for Coipa Norte. AMEC
        calculated block variance factors of 0.72 for silver and 0.74 for gold
        for the change-of-support comparison, based on the operations 10 m x 10
        m mining block size. These distributions of calculated 10 m x 10 m x 10
        m blocks for silver and gold are shown by dashed lines on the
        grade-tonnage curves in Figures 17-1 and 17-2. The nearest-neighbour
        results represent the grade distributions, based on this block size,
        obtained from the change-of-support models. The solid lines in the
        figures show the grade-tonnage distributions obtained from the block
        estimates. The grade-tonnage predictions produced for the Coipa Norte
        silver and gold models show that grades and tonnages are validated by
        the change-of-support calculations.

        The change-of-support analysis confirms that the silver and gold models
        adequately incorporate allowances for internal dilution.

        AMEC also checked the block model estimates for global bias by comparing
        the average values (with no cutoff) from the model (ordinary kriging)
        with the means from nearest-neighbour estimates. (The nearest-neighbour
        estimator produces a theoretically unbiased estimate of the average
        value when no cutoff grade is imposed and is a good basis for checking
        the performance of different estimation methods.) To conduct this check,
        nearest-neighbour silver and gold grades were estimated and compared to
        the existing model kriged grades. Mean and standard deviation values
        from ordinary kriging and nearest-neighbour estimates (at zero copper
        cutoff grade) are tabulated in Table 17-6. Results show no evidence of
        bias in the estimates.

17.7    RESOURCE CLASSIFICATION AND SUMMARIES

        The mineralization at the La Coipa mine as of 31 December 2002 is
        classified into mineral reserves and resources and is shown in Table
        17-7. The mineral resource is based on a gold price of $325/oz and a
        silver price of $4.75/oz. For the gold-rich zones the categories defined
        by MDO are as follows: a block is classified as measured if information
        from two holes is found within 20 m of its centre. Indicated mineral
        resource includes the blocks interpolated with composites within 45 m.
        The remainder of the blocks in the geologic domains that do not satisfy
        these criteria are classified as inferred. For the silver rich zones the
        distances used are 25 m for measured and 50 m for indicated. In AMEC's
        opinion the classification is based on appropriate drill spacing and
        conforms to the CIM standards for reporting mineral resources and
        reserves.

17.8    MINERAL RESERVE

        The mineral reserves shown in Table 17-7 are contained within the
        current ultimate pit designs. Mine site personnel and A. Karzulovic &
        Associates base the slope designs for the Coipa Norte and Brecha Norte
        open pits on ongoing geotechnical studies. The current design has been
        broken into a series of design sectors with inter-ramp angles ranging
        from a low of 44(degree) to a high of 57(degree). The mine staff
        collect, process and interpret the geotechnical monitoring data. Reports
        on the status of the pit slope are compiled regularly and discussed with
        operations personnel.

        MDO uses a formula to determine the profit for each block in the
        resource models. The pit limits are defined based on the economic model,
        which takes into account all revenues and costs. The profit calculation
        is defined as follows:

               Profit = ((Pau-VTaAu))/31.1035*Au*RecAu/100+((Pag-
               VTaAg)/31.1035)*Ag*RecAg/100-(CtoMin+CtoPro+CtoRA+CtoExp)

        Where:

               Pau         =  Gold price (US$/oz)
               VTaAu       =  Sale cost for gold (US$/oz)
               Au          =  Gold grade (g/t)
               RecAu       =  Gold recovery (%)
               Pag         =  Silver price (US$/oz)
               VTaAg       =  Sale cost for silver  (US$/oz)
               Ag          =  Silver grade (g/t)
               RecAg       =  Silver recovery (%)
               CtoMin      =  Mining cost (US$/t)
               CtoPro      =  Process cost (US$/t)
               CtoRA       =  Administration and HR costs (US$/t)
               CtoExp      =  General (US$/t)

        AMEC has checked the calculation and found no errors in loading the
        results in the block model.

        The projected average recoveries by year are consistent with those
        achieved in 2000 to 2002.

        Metal prices are based on MDO's long-term price projections, and are
        reasonable and within market parameters (see Section 19.0). The
        classification based on drill spacing on a 25 m by 25 m grid is
        appropriate.

        No allowance for external dilution and ore losses due to intermingling
        of ore and waste at contacts has been included in the reserve estimates.

        AMEC concludes that the 31 December 2002 mineral resource and mineral
        reserve statement for the La Coipa Mine is supported by this independent
        review.

18.0    OTHER RELEVANT DATA AND INFORMATION

18.1    RECONCILIATION

        Reconciliation of block model estimates to actual production at
        operating mines is an important measure of the predictive nature of the
        block model for future production. Two sets of data are available from
        the production at La Coipa to compare with the block model estimates:
        blast hole data and milled production data. AMEC evaluated these data to
        obtain a level of confidence in block model performance. AMEC reviewed
        only monthly production data and reconciliation data provided by MDO for
        the year 2002; data from previous years were not reviewed.

        Reconciliation is the assessment of the ability to estimate in situ
        resources and the ability to mine those resources. For a reconciliation
        assessment, AMEC requires that the following factors be calculated:

        ASSESSMENT OF THE ABILITY TO ESTIMATE IN SITU RESOURCES (F1): a check on
        the accuracy of the block model in predicting annual quantities of in
        situ reserves (tonnage, grade, pounds of copper and ounces of gold) for
        both mill and stockpile material. The accuracy is summarized by the F1
        factors, which are calculated for tonnes and grades:

                F1 =        Actual In Situ Quantities - Blast Hole Model
                     -----------------------------------------------------------
                       Estimated In Situ Quantities - Diamond Drill Hole Model

        ASSESSMENT OF THE ABILITY TO MINE IN SITU RESERVES (F2): an evaluation
        of the effects of misclassification (dilution and/or ore loss) on the in
        situ reserves. This effect is summarized by the F2 factors, which are
        calculated for tonnes and grades:

                F2 =                 Run-of-Mine Quantities - Mill Data
                              -------------------------------------------------
                                  Actual In Situ Quantities - Crusher Data

        F1 and F2 factors can be multiplied together to yield F3 factors, which
        assess the impact of the combined effect of estimation errors and
        selection errors to predict recoverable reserves:

                F1 x F2 = F3 =            Run-of-Mine Quantities - Mill Data
                                      ------------------------------------------
                                             Estimated In Situ Quantities

        AMEC calculated the F1, F2 and F3 factors for La Coipa from the monthly
        data provided by MDO. The factors for 2002 are summarized in Table 18-1;
        the detailed monthly reconciliation data are attached in Appendix E.

        ------------------------------------------------------------------------


        Reconciliation data indicate that the block model underestimated the ore
        tonnes by as much as 24% while overestimating the silver grades by 16%
        and the gold grades by approximately 8%. The monthly tonnage
        reconciliation is shown in Figure 18-1. AMEC also observed that the
        silver grades in the block models, blast holes and the mill followed the
        same trend. The monthly reconciliation graph for silver is included in
        Figure 18-2. Despite an overall difference of 6%, the gold grades were
        overestimated for ten months during 2002, as shown in Figure 18-3.
        Figure 18-3 also shows that the average monthly milled grade did not
        display the abrupt variations predicted by the model.

        AMEC concluded that variation patterns seen from month to month are
        greater than normal fluctuations for a silver-gold open-pit mine such as
        La Coipa. MDO has adopted a new modelling philosophy for the preparation
        of the year-end mineral resources and reserves estimates (see Section
        17.0). AMEC agrees with the steps taken by MDO to better incorporate
        geologic and structural information in the new long-range models. The
        geology is well understood, and the models now incorporate the knowledge
        acquired in the last few years.

18.2    ULTIMATE PIT WALL CONFIGURATION

        The ultimate pit designs include 10% gradient haulage ramps with widths
        (including safety berm) ranging from 24 m at upper elevations to
        single-lane 16 m wide ramps near the bottom of the pits. Inter-ramp and
        overall slope angles for the current pits are generally based on
        geotechnical criteria provided in 2002 by Alfredo Rioseco of A.
        Karzulovic & Associates, based in Santiago. AMEC has reviewed the
        ultimate pit layouts and notes some differences between the geotechnical
        criteria and current designs.

        The Coipa Norte pit is being mined in a series of staged pits. The final
        two stages, including mining to the ultimate pit highwall, are currently
        in progress. Two wall failures have occurred during mining of internal
        stage pits. In response, considerable additional geotechnical drilling
        was undertaken to better identify structure, lithology and rock strength
        properties. The pit wall layouts were then revised to their current
        configuration, which involves shallower inter-ramp angles of 44(degree)
        to 48(degree) for the upper benches and 48(degree) to 57(degree) in the
        more competent sediments on the lower benches. Overall wall angles,
        including ramps and wide safety berms, range from 43(degree) on the 430
        m high west wall to 41(degree) on the 250 m high east wall.

        To minimize disturbance to the Copia Norte highwalls a pre-shear and
        buffer blast pattern has been instituted adjacent to the highwall on
        each bench. The originally proposed triple-bench (30 m between safety
        berms) layout has been replaced with double-benching (20 m between
        safety berms). Portions of the northeast wall are single benched. An
        extensive wall monitoring system has been installed to detect any wall
        movement.

        The Brecha Norte pit is being mined in two stages, with a double-bench
        wall configuration and inter-ramp wall angles ranging from 47(degree) to
        50(degree). Inter-ramp highwalls range up to 200 m high.

        The Can-Can pit, scheduled to commence in 2005, is designed with
        triple-benching and 52(degree) inter-ramp wall angles. This is a similar
        configuration to the successful design of the mined-out Ladera Farellon
        pit. Inter-ramp highwalls range up to 200 m high. The three ultimate pit
        designs are shown in Figure 4-3.

19.0    REQUIREMENTS FOR TECHNICAL REPORTS ON PRODUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT
        PROPERTIES

19.1    MINING OPERATIONS

        The La Coipa mine currently operates two conventional open pits: Copia
        Norte, which is approximately 970 m long x 800 m wide, and Brecha Norte,
        which will ultimately reach dimensions of 520 m x 340 m. A third pit,
        Can-Can, 450 m x 370 m, is scheduled to commence in 2005.

        The current pits are mined on 10 m benches with the final highwall
        developed in a double-bench configuration. The overall and inter-ramp
        wall slopes are described in Section 18.0. The bench face angle is
        typically 70(degree). Safety benches are calculated as the difference
        between the inter-ramp slope and the face angle. Haulage roads are 24 m
        wide for two-lane traffic and 16 m wide for single-lane traffic. All
        roads have been designed for a maximum grade of 10%.

        Major equipment at the mine includes:

        1 Ingersoll Rand DML 171 mm (6.75") blast hole drill
        1 Ingersoll Rand DML-SP 171 mm (6.75") blast hole drill
        1 Ingersoll Rand DMM 229 mm (9") blast hole drill
        1 Ingersoll Rand DMM2 229 mm (9") blast hole drill
        1 O&K RH170 hydraulic shovel
        2 Letourneau L1400 front-end loaders
        1 Caterpillar 994 front-end loader
        1 Caterpillar 992C HL front-end loader
        13 Caterpillar 785 haulage trucks
        1 Caterpillar 773 water truck
        2 Caterpillar 16H graders
        1 Caterpillar 834 wheel dozer
        2 Caterpillar D10R tracked dozers
        1 Komatsu 375A tracked dozer.

        The ore from the pit is discharged directly into the primary crusher or
        placed on a blending stockpile adjacent to the crushing facilities. A
        front-end loader trams ore from the blending stockpile to the primary
        crusher. The crushed ore passes to a coarse ore stockpile before being
        fed to the processing plant.

        Plant tailings are filtered and conveyed 2 km to a disposal area in a
        gully adjacent to the main access route to the mine. At the tailings
        site, filtered and compacted tailings are deposited in lifts utilizing a
        pivoting tripper-belt arrangement.

        GOLD CORPORATION    LA COIPA MINE, CHILE


        The current production forecast is based on a plant feed rate of 17.3
        kt/d, or approximately 6.3 Mt/a, with a head grade that approximates the
        average reserve grade for the La Coipa deposit. Approximately one-third
        of the plant feed is rehandled from long-term stockpiles. The total
        mining rate, including ore, waste and stockpile rehandle, is scheduled
        at 105 kt/d, for a waste-to-ore strip ratio of 5 to 1. Four staged pits
        are in progress, including the final stage of the Coipa Norte pit. It is
        planned to develop this stage rapidly, with 14 benches scheduled to be
        mined in 2003. Waste is dumped at favourable locations in close
        proximity to the pits.

        The long-term production forecast is based on maintaining the annual
        plant feed rate of 6.3 Mt but with a declining waste-to-ore strip ratio.
        The current long-range forecast envisions that the total La Coipa
        deposit will be mined out in 2008.

        At present, approximately 445 personnel are directly employed by MDO,
        the operator of the La Coipa mine. In addition, approximately 150
        contractors are employed for blasting services, security and camp
        catering. Up to 100 other contract employees may be on site, depending
        on the tasks or projects underway.

19.2    PROCESS METAL RECOVERIES

        Process plant gold and silver recoveries are forecast at approximately
        80% and 60%, respectively. This compares to actual average recovery of
        82.8% for gold and 63% for silver over the past three years. Silver
        recovery in particular is quite variable, which is one reason that
        cutoff grades and gold equivalency are no longer utilized for mine
        planning purposes. Instead, a cost-benefit function, described in
        Section 17.0, that considers grades, recoveries, lime and cyanide
        consumption, etc., is applied to distinguish ore from waste. Mineral
        processing and recovery are covered in more detail in Section 16.0.

19.3    MARKETS

        The dore produced at the mine is shipped to refineries in the U.S. and
        England, with gold and silver credited to MDO metal accounts. The gold
        and silver are sold into world markets at spot prices.

19.4    CONTRACTS

        The only significant mining service contract is for explosives. ENAEX
        has a full-service contract to supply ANFO explosives, heavy ANFO
        explosives and blasting accessories. Services provided include loading
        blastholes, connecting detonating cord and detonating the blasts. The
        contract terms are reasonable compared to other operations.

        MDO services its own production equipment, and no MARC-type equipment
        maintenance contracts are in place.

        The 2003 budget assumes that a mining contractor will be required to
        mine approximately 5.5 Mt of waste rock. To date this has not proven
        necessary.

        A catering contractor operates the employee camp, which is approximately
        10 km southwest of the plant site, adjacent to the mine access road.
        Mine security services are also contracted out.

        No hedging or forward sales contracts or arrangements are currently in
        place. Placer Dome receives a nominal annual fee for serving as precious
        metal sales agent for MDO. MDO advises Placer Dome on the availability
        of gold and silver for sale. Placer Dome then sells the metal at spot
        prices on behalf of MDO.

19.5    ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

        MDO received ISO 14001 certification in July 2002 and has well-organized
        and comprehensive procedures in place in the event of a safety or
        environmental incident. The most significant environmental issue at the
        mine is mercury contamination of the Campamento Aquifer. A processing
        plant incident in 1995 resulted in mercury-contaminated tailings being
        discharged at the tailings site. Mercury-contaminated water has been
        detected in the aquifer since that time. The mercury concentration in
        the water is adversely affected but the low aquifer flow rates,
        estimated at 10 L/s to 15 L/s reduce the rate of impact. This compares
        with 1,500 L/s in the aquifer that serves as the source of water for the
        mine.

        As a remedial measure, MDO installed a fence of wells to intercept and
        divert uncontaminated water through a pipeline around the problem area.
        Other wells were also installed below the tailings area to collect
        contaminated water, which was then pumped to the process plant for
        recycling. These measures were not entirely successful, and so a water
        treatment plant was constructed further downstream in 1999. The aquifer
        water is intercepted and passed through a resin filter at the treatment
        plant where mercury is removed. It is not known how long the plant,
        which is effective in removing mercury contamination, will have to
        operate after mine closure.

        Mine closure costs are estimated at $13.5 M. This includes costs to
        demolish and remove plant site buildings, secure the pit area and
        prevent a safety hazard to the public, and operate the water treatment
        facility for up to 20 years. Because of the lack of vegetation in the
        area no major revegetation or resloping activities are currently
        proposed. Small-scale experimentation with growing plants in the arid
        climate is currently underway, and further field-testing is planned
        prior to closure.

        MDO has recently changed its accounting policy to recognize accrued
        reclamation costs in its earnings statement and balance sheet. There is
        no legislation in effect requiring the posting of a reclamation bond.

        MDO received ISO 14001 certification in July 2002 and has well-organized
        and comprehensive procedures in place in the event of a safety or
        environmental incident.

19.6    TAXES

        The corporate income tax rate is forecast at 16.5% in 2003 and 17% for
        subsequent years. Depreciation and amortization of capital costs is
        allowed as a deduction in the calculation of taxable income. Corporate
        taxes are estimated at $2.4 M in 2003. An annual fee of $55,000 is also
        assessed to maintain the mining claims in good standing.

        No royalties are applicable on gold and silver produced from the mine,
        but an annual preferred dividend of $1.8 M is payable. The joint venture
        partners receive disbursements from the operation via common dividends
        from MDO. A 35% withholding tax is applicable on all dividends disbursed
        to foreign shareholders, less the first category corporate income tax
        already paid.

19.7    CAPITAL AND OPERATING COST ESTIMATES

        The average operating costs in the long-range forecast are shown in
        Table 19-1. The costs are expressed in 2003 constant dollars. For
        comparison purposes 2002 actual costs and 2003 budget costs are shown in
        Table 19-3.

        Processing and G&A unit costs in Table 19-1 remain fairly consistent
        over the remaining six-year mine life and compare well with the 2002
        actual and 2003 budget costs shown in Table 19-2. Mining unit operating
        costs in Table 19-1 are lower than 2002 actual and 2003 budget costs.
        The long-term mining costs, when expressed in cost per tonne milled, are
        forecast to decline significantly from current levels due to declining
        strip ratios beyond 2003. When expressed in terms of cost per tonne of
        total ore and waste mined, unit mining costs average $0.84/t of ore and
        waste mined and $0.50/t of stockpile rehandled over the remaining six
        years. Unit mining costs expressed in these terms are reasonably
        consistent from year to year and are quire comparable to current costs.

        The unit costs in Tables 19-1 and 19-2 do not include the cost of sales,
        which totals approximately 3% of the gross sales revenue. This includes
        expenses related to security, transportation, refining and selling
        precious metal production.

        Because of the short mine life, no major replacement of production
        equipment is planned. Major expenditures over the remaining years
        include:

        o       $0.6 M for sustaining capital

        o       $3.8 M remaining capital lease payments on haulage trucks

        o       $2.9 M for expensed projects (including major overhauls, etc.)

        o       $13.5 M for mine closure and building removal.

        It is estimated that working capital recovery and salvage value at the
        end of the mine life will approximately offset employee severance
        payments and decommissioning costs.

19.8    ECONOMIC ANALYSIS

        Assumptions:

        o       Gold price: $300/oz

        o       Silver price: $4.75/oz

        o       Exchange rate: 720 pesos per US$

        o       Inflation: not considered

        o       Real wage increase: not considered.

        MDO staff prepare an annual Strategic Business Plan (SBP) for La Coipa.
        The current SBP includes after-tax cash flows for the mine, based on the
        data and assumptions above, and project sensitivity to variable gold and
        silver prices. Projected cash flows are positive throughout the
        remaining mine life.

        The latest SBP precedes the 2002 reserve estimate calculations, and the
        total mine life production in the SBP differs slightly from the reported
        proven and probable reserves in Section 17.0 of this report. AMEC
        reviewed these differences and considers them to be insignificant.

        MDO and joint venture partners Kinross Gold and Placer Dome regard the
        details of the economic and sensitivity analysis as confidential. AMEC
        reviewed a draft of the SBP and believes that it is complete, reasonable
        and meets industry standards.

19.9    PAYBACK

        Currently the La Coipa operating company, MDO, is carrying no
        operational debt. Existing obligations, such as capital lease payments
        and forecast expenditures, including closure costs, are scheduled to be
        funded by operating income. Therefore, payback period is not applicable.

19.10   MINE LIFE

        The proven and probable reserves are sufficient for six years. The mine
        is scheduled to cease production in 2008 if additional reserves are not
        found. As described in Section 10.0, there is significant potential for
        finding more resource/reserve near the present mine site.

20.0    CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

        AMEC draws the following conclusions from its review of the La Coipa
        mineral resource and reserve statement:

        o       The geology of the La Coipa Mine is well understood and has been
                incorporated in the preparation of the 2002 mineral resource and
                mineral reserve estimate.

        o       The database that forms the basis for the estimate includes over
                2,000 drill holes. AMEC's validation exercises found no errors
                in the data. The database is further supported by a QA/QC
                program involving standard reference materials and duplicate
                samples. Over the years the mine staff have reviewed in detail
                the sampling and assaying procedures as the nature of the ore
                has changed. The La Coipa mine lab has an extensive monitoring
                program that operates well within industry standards.

        o       Geologically constrained grade block models have been used to
                estimate the mineral resource and reserve. The methods used are
                accepted practices. AMEC has performed several validation
                exercises, including a change-of-support validation for Coipa
                Norte, and found that the models will provide reasonably
                accurate predictions of mined tonnage and grade.

        o       The profit calculations used in developing an economic block
                model were found to be correct. The mineral reserves are defined
                as the material falling within the actual pit design.

        o       As part of the mining operations, an extensive wall monitoring
                system has been implemented to safeguard personnel and
                equipment. Pit designs and operating practices were modified
                after two previous failures, but there remains the risk of
                another failure that could interrupt production and jeopardize
                pit access.

        o       The rapid stage pit development proposed in the 2003 budget mine
                plan will require close supervision and co-ordination of mining
                activities.

        o       The operating cost estimates for the 2003 budget were found to
                be reasonable and to have been calculated using sound,
                industry-accepted practices.

        o       The basic assumptions and estimates used for the life-of-mine
                economic analysis are within market parameters and are valid for
                an economic forecast.

        o       This independent review by AMEC supports the 2002 La Coipa
                mineral resource and reserve statement.
