I am a Professional Geologist (PG-2407) in the state of Wyoming, USA, a Certified Professional Geologist (CPG-08359) in the American Institute of Professional Geologists, a Member (No. 1943910RM) as SME Founding Registered Member, a registered Geological Engineer (Cédula Profesional #1191), in the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, a member of the International Association on the Genesis of Ore Deposits, a member of the Society of Economic Geologists, and a member of the Association of Exploration Geochemists.

I graduated from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México with the title of Ingeniero Geólogo in 1966 and subsequently have taken numerous short courses in Economic Evaluation and Investment Decision Methods at Colorado School of Mines, and other technical subjects in related professional seminars. I have practiced my profession continuously since 1963.

Since 1963, I have been involved in mineral exploration and evaluation of mineral properties for gold, silver, lead, zinc, copper, antimony, and non-metallic deposits as fluorite, barite, dolomite and coal deposits in Canada, United States of America, México, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Venezuela, Perú, Bolivia, Chile, Brazil and Argentina.

As a result of my experience and qualification I am a Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101.

I am presently a Principal Geologist with the international resource and mining consulting company of Pincock, Allen & Holt, Inc. and have been employed since December 2003, and was formerly employed by the same firm from 1988 to 1993.

I have previously worked on the San Martín de Bolaños mine, as an independent engineer in 1991 and in 2005. I have previously visited the operation during the periods of May 16-19, 2005 and January 23-26, 2007. As part of this study, I visited the project site from November 2 to 4, 2008 for the purposes of observing site layout and infrastructure, examining the deposit geology, inspecting the underground mine, inspecting exploration drilling locations, reviewing sampling

procedures, reviewing available exploration and reserve and resource estimates and data, and discussing the project with site personnel.

I am the primary author of the Technical Report. I am responsible for all report sections including those report sections outside of my discipline of geology and resource modeling, which were prepared by other Pincock, Allen & Holt representatives that were qualified in those particular disciplines (mining, environmental and economics), which I believe to be reliable work. I have visited the project in January 2007 and November 2008, and I have acted as Project Manager for the preparation of this Technical Report.

As of the date of this certificate, to the best of my knowledge, information and belief, the Technical Report contains all scientific and technical information that is required to be disclosed to make the Technical Report not misleading.

I consent to the filing of the Technical Report with any stock exchange and other regulatory authority and any publication by them, including electronic publications in the public company files, on their websites accessible by the public.
