The fair values for the Telken, Este, Piramides and Tobias Tenements were determined prior to the transfer of these properties to MSC as part of the vend-in agreement between the Company and Hochschild, as described in Note 6, Mineral Property Interests and Asset Retirement Obligations, and Note 7, Investment in Minera Santa Cruz S.A. ("MSC")—San José Mine. As at December 31, 2013, these tenements were transferred to MSC and were therefore not included in the Company's mineral property interests as at December 31, 2013.
