Latin American Expertise Fortuna's key strength is industry expertise in Latin America. Management's knowledge of regional mining, business practices, exploration, geology and regulatory environments has allowed Fortuna to identify and seize opportunities within the region. We are aggressively pursuing and evaluating further accretive acquisitions throughout the Americas. Two Key Assets The 100%-owned Caylloma silver-zinc-lead mine lies within the mineral-rich Caylloma Mining District in the southern highlands of Arequipa, Peru. It is a high grade epithermal vein system with significant untested potential within its over 12,000 hectare land package. Fortuna operates the mine at over 1,000 tpd and is working on the permitting to further increase throughput to 1,500 tpd. Exploration activities include testing of high grade silver and base metal targets within the Caylloma Mining District and evaluation of surrounding properties to identify opportunities warranting more advanced exploration and development. The San Jose silver-gold project is a low sulphidation epithermal system located within the Taviche Mining District located in southern Oaxaca, Mexico. It is being explored and developed under a joint-venture between Fortuna (76 %) and Continuum Resources Ltd. (24 %). In August 2008, Fortuna and Continuum announced an agreement whereby Fortuna will acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Continuum. As a result of the acquisition, Fortuna will own a 100% interest in the San Jose Project. A 33,000 meter in-fill drill program in the Trinidad Zone is underway to convert a significant portion of the resources in the upper 250 meters of the deposit to the Indicated Category prior to proceeding with a pre-feasibility study. Rapid Growth Fortuna is a growth oriented silver and base metal producer focused on mining opportunities in Latin America. We acquired both Caylloma and San Jose in late 2005. Caylloma was ramped up from 500 tpd to over 1,000 tpd by July of 2008 and management is fast tracking the Trinidad Zone into a mine at the San Jose Project. At Fortuna, we are aggressively pursuing additional accretive acquisition opportunities.
