PRINCIPLE SOURCES OF MINE FINANCING

� The mining industry is extremely capital intensive

� Principal mining industry funding sources include:

• Debt (bank loans or bond issues)

- Rigid repayment structure

- Often requires hedging

- Scarce in current market

• Equity

- Flexible and no fixed repayment structure

- Dilutes current shareholders

- Scarce in current market

• Portfolio Optimization (asset sales, royalties, streaming)

- Constructing portfolio to maximize expected return

- Available to mine developers with the right assets

PRINCIPLE SOURCES OF MINE FINANCING

� Portfolio optimization can also be separated into the following:

• Asset Sale- Outright sale of entire mine/project or joint venture interest- High quality mines/projects that can find a bidder, are generally not the

assets the miner/developer wants to sell and likely selling at distressed levels

• Royalties- Sale of a percentage of the revenues from an asset- Typically a percentage of revenue from all metals produced, including

primary metal

• Streaming - Sale of a percentage of metal from an asset - Typically a non-core metal from within a core asset, with the primary

metal remaining in the hands of the miner

THE HISTORY OF THE STREAMING MODEL

8

� Wheaton River Minerals was focused on becoming a global leader in gold.

� In order to achieve this objective, capital was required

� In 2004, silver companies traded at a premium to gold companies

� A substantial amount of by-product silver was being produced, primarily from the San Dimas mine in Mexico

� Wheaton River recognized that its silver was not being valued at the same multiple in the market as silver from primary silver producers

� Silver Wheaton was created in 2004 in order to unlock the value of Wheaton River’s by-product silver

THE ORIGIN OF STREAMINGCREATED IN 2004

9

� Silver Wheaton makes an upfront payment in consideration for the future silver and/or gold production from a mine

� As the mine owner delivers precious metal to Silver Wheaton, an additional delivery payment is made to them

10

HOW STREAMING WORKS

Partner Mining Company

Upfront payment (Cash and/or Silver Wheaton shares)

Silver Wheaton receives a % of life-of-mine silver and/or gold production

Delivery payment ($ per ounce)

Traditional Miner

Value of Future Precious Metal

Production

A WIN-WIN MODEL WHY IT WORKS

11

� Precious metal stream agreements create shareholder value for both the purchaser (streamer) and the seller (traditional miner)

� Precious metal produced at a traditional miner is given a lower valuation by the market than if it had been produced by a streaming company

• Results in ‘value arbitrage’ opportunity

Streaming Company

Arbitrage opportunity exists to create value for both the Streamer and the

Partner’s shareholdersValue of Future Precious Metal

TRADITIONAL STREAMING AGREEMENTS

16

Streaming Agreements are structured to reduce as mu ch risk as possible, including financing, permitting, and construction r isk.

* This is for illustrative purposes only as all streams are unique with minor variations around the basic structure. ** Standard condition for a stream agreement includes permits, financing, security, etc. *** Completion tests are generally based on mining operations, mill throughput, etc. reaching a defined level of design capacity.

Traditional Structure*: � Upfront payment made for stream on development project and/or operating mine in

either single or staged payments

EARLY DEPOSIT STREAMING AGREEMENTSNEW STRUCTURE FOR EARLY STAGE DEVELOPERS

With the Early Deposit Streaming Agreement, “at risk ” capital is limited.

* Standard condition for a stream agreement includes permits, financing, security, etc. ** If stream is cancelled, Silver Wheaton is entitled to a return of the deposit less a small non-refundable amount. *** Once upfront payment is made, the Early Deposit Streaming agreement acts as a traditional streaming agreement and is subject to a completion test.

Early Deposit Structure:

� The right to purchase a stream on an early-stage development project for minimal upfront capital

� Initial early deposit payment typically set at only 5-10% of predefined upfront payment

� Decision to proceed is made once feasibility, permitting and financing are in place

BENEFITS TO THE MINERNEW STRUCTURE BENEFITS JUNIOR DEVELOPERS

25

Early Deposit Structure

� Allows junior mining companies secure financing to advance project to feasibility stage

Junior mining companies are challenged to raise equ ity in current market or can do so only by excessively diluting existing shareholders

Junior Gold Miners Index (GDXJ) down ~70% over 5 years

BENEFITS TO THE MINERNEW STRUCTURE BENEFITS JUNIOR DEVELOPERS

20

� No dilution – especially at a time when share price may not reflect full mine potential

� Mine is provided with the funds required to advance the asset to the next phase, deferring any equity to be raised to a later stage (and thus higher share price)

� Mine has, through the remaining portion of the upfront funds to be advanced by Silver Wheaton, a significant portion of the CAPEX financed

� Investors provided with confidence that a third party (Silver Wheaton’s) technical team has reviewed the project and attests to its potential
