RIO GRANDE <br />RN P-q- MSILVER, INC. <br />ANNUAL EXPLORATION & RECLAIMATION REPORT <br />June 10, 2012 — June 10, 2013 <br />Prospect NOI No <br />Prospect Site Name: <br />Operator /Prospector: <br />EXPLORATION <br />P- 2011 -010 <br />Equity Exploration Project <br />Randy McClure <br />Rio Grande Silver, Inc. <br />625 USFS Road 504.1A <br />P.O.

(719) 658 -1080 <br />Please see attached figures showing the location of the permitted area, surface infrastructure <br />(proposed and existing) and past completed drilling. <br />Between June 10, 2012 and June 10, 2013, 75 underground core holes were drilled from 6 <br />underground drill stations (E20, E23, E25, E39, E65 and E79) for a total of 59,913 feet. <br />Drill stations E39, E65 and E79 were excavated during the permit year. Development rock <br />generated from this excavation work was stored underground in existing muck bays and drifts <br />that were not being used. <br />Currently, data analysis and review of the underground drilling results at the Equity is being <br />undertaken by RGS staff. As a result, field activities at the Equity Mine have been temporarily <br />suspended and the mine has been put on care and maintenance. <br />In October 2012, RGS applied for a modification to the original NOI permit that would expand <br />the affected area boundary of the NOI to accommodate development rock storage on the surface. <br />Additionally, this modification requested that two small development rock piles be placed on <br />surface. With this request, RGS agreed to perform Acid -Base Accounting (ABA) as well as <br />Synthetic Precipitation leaching Procedure (SPLP) testing initially and then again every 3,000 <br />cubic yards of removed material put on surface. Part of this modification also requires RGS, on a <br />quarterly basis, to provide DRMS with a report outlining any testing results as well as pH results <br />from West Willow Creek field testing near the site. To date, no waste rock has been brought to <br />surface. RGS will suspend Synthetic precipitation leaching procedure (SPLP) and Acid -Base <br />625 USFS Road 504.1A P.O.
