Officers of the Company) had no knowledge of the identity of any of their
beneficial owners including NOBOs. Subject to the provision of National

with Beneficial Owners of Securities of Reporting Issuers</font> (&#8220;<font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-WEIGHT: bold">NI 54-101</font>&#8221;); however, after
September 1, 2002 issuers could request and obtain a list of their NOBOs from
intermediaries via their transfer agents. Prior to September 1, 2004, issuers
could obtain this NOBO list and use it for specific purposes connected with the
affairs of the corporation, except for the distribution of proxy-related
materials directly to NOBOs. This was the first stage of the implementation of
NI 54-101. Effective for shareholder meetings taking place on or after September
1, 2004, issuers can obtain and use this NOBO list for distribution of

part of its stewardship responsibilities, in February of 2003, the Board adopted
formal &#8220;Standards of Ethical Conduct&#8221; which were designed to deter wrong-doing
and to promote honest and ethical conduct and full, accurate and timely
disclosure. These standards were revised, amended and restated as a &#8220;Code of
Ethical Conduct&#8221; (the &#8220;<font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Code</font>&#8221;) in November of 2005 in
light of the adoption of the Corporate Governance Disclosure Rules. The Code is
applicable to all of the Company&#8217;s directors, officers and
employees.&#160;&#160;The full text of the Code is available free of charge to
any person upon request from the General Counsel and Secretary of the Company at

Telephone: (604) 684-1175.&#160;&#160;The Board, through the Nominating and
Governance Committee, monitors compliance with the Code and is responsible for
the granting of any waivers from the Code to directors or executive
officers.&#160;&#160;Disclosure will be made by the Company of any waiver from
the requirements of the Code granted to the Company&#8217;s directors or executive
officers in the Company&#8217;s quarterly report that immediately follows the grant of
such waiver.</font></div>

the granting of options to purchase Shares and/or (ii) the direct issuance of
bonus Shares to executive officers, directors and &#8220;Service Providers&#8221; of the

to the date the option was granted.&#160;&#160;Under the 2005 Plan, options are

Compensation Philosophy which was adopted in February 2005.&#160;&#160;Each
executive officer&#8217;s position is evaluated to establish skill requirements and
level of responsibility and this evaluation provides a basis for internal and

factors when determining both compensation policies and programs and individual
compensation levels.&#160;&#160;These factors include the long-term interests of
the Company and its shareholders, overall financial and operating performance of
the Company and the Board&#8217;s and the Compensation Committee&#8217;s assessment of each
executive&#8217;s individual performance and contribution towards meeting corporate
objectives. Executive officer compensation is composed of four major
components:&#160;&#160;base salary, participation in the Company&#8217;s Annual

annual base salary. Annual objectives are developed for the Company, and the
individual. The relative importance of each is identified by the weight assigned
to the objective. The objectives are typically of a short-term (one year or
less) nature. Objectives will be of three kinds: broad company objectives,
department or property objectives, and individual objectives.&#160;&#160;For
2007, the Company paid in early 2008 an aggregate cash bonus of $1.6 million to
36 senior managers and executive officers of the Company and certain of its
subsidiaries predominantly in consideration of the Company&#8217;s accomplishments in
project development through feasibility and construction efforts including the
construction of the Alamo Dorado Mine, and successes in exploration, which
replaced all ounces mined and increased total proven and probable
reserves.&#160;&#160;In addition, in 2007 the Company generated positive cash
flow and net income significantly above budget. Performance targets relating to
production per share, budgeted production, and safety objectives, were not
met.&#160;&#160;The weight assigned to each of these Company performance measure
objectives was either 5%, 10% or 15%, with multiplying performance factors
ranging from 0 to 2.00.&#160;&#160;For individual performance, each individual&#8217;s
personal objectives are evaluated at the end of the year and a performance level
and corresponding factor is applied to each. Performance factors are based on an
objective evaluation of the results or, if appropriate, a subjective evaluation.
The performance levels are designed to force clear definitions of what results
are expected and to provide consistency in evaluating results.&#160;&#160;At the
completion of the performance period, if 100% of the goal is achieved, the
performance factor is 1.00; if 200% or more of the goal is met, the performance
factor is 2.0.&#160;&#160;If a significant portion of the objective is achieved
(80-99%), the employee may receive a performance factor rating
0.50.&#160;&#160;Achieving anything below 80% of an objective receives a
performance factor of 0.</font></div>

employee, based on a percentage of base salary. 75% of the Long-Term Incentive
Plan payout will be made available as options and the remaining 25% will be made
available as Shares. The Long-Term Incentive Plan is based on individual
performance measures and targets, and is reviewed
annually.&#160;&#160;Participation is limited to key management positions having
responsibility for influencing the policy and strategy of the

compensation of its executive officers in keeping with overall compensation

base salary compensation for Mr. Burns is determined on the basis of a review of
market data for similar positions in Canadian mining companies with
international operations of comparable size and scope.&#160;&#160;The Annual
Incentive Plan compensation paid to Mr. Burns is based on achieving certain
corporate goals and objectives which are set at the start of each year and
approved by the Board of Directors.&#160;&#160;There are three categories of
annual corporate objectives.&#160;&#160;The first category represent metrics
that should contribute to an increase in shareholder value and include
increasing the Company&#8217;s silver production per share and increasing the
Company&#8217;s proven and probable silver reserves per share.&#160;&#160;The second
category is focussed on growth and measures exploration success and the
development and construction progress in the Company&#8217;s major new mining
projects.&#160;&#160;The third category measures operating performance and
includes annual targets for silver production, cash costs per ounce, earnings,
cash flow from operating activities and health and safety
performance.&#160;&#160;The targets for each component are set such that they
are greater than the Company&#8217;s internally approved budget.&#160;&#160;For the
year ended December 31, 2007, the Compensation Committee determined that Mr.
Burns&#8217; performance against the corporate objectives was 95.5% for the purposes
of calculating his AIP bonus.&#160;&#160;The Long-Term Incentive Plan
equity-based compensation paid to Mr. Burns was determined by the Compensation
Committee&#8217;s annual review of Mr. Burns' personal performance, as measured
against pre-established evaluation criteria which includes, commitment,
initiative, knowledge, leadership, teamwork and communications.&#160;&#160;In
2007 Mr. Burns scored 73 out of a possible 80 points for his personal
performance which entitled him to a Long-Term Incentive Plan payment of 66% of
his annual base salary.</font></div>
