Certain statements contained in this document, including, without limitation, those concerning the economic
outlook for the mining industry, expectations regarding metal prices and production, the completion and
commencement of commercial operations of certain of Trevali Mining Corporations (TV) projects, and its
liquidity and capital resources and expenditure, contain certain forward-looking statements regarding TVs
economic performance and financial condition. Although TV believes that the expectations reflected in such
forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to
have been correct. Accordingly, results could differ materially from those set out in the forward-looking
statements as a result of, among other factors, changes in economic and market conditions, success of
business initiatives, changes in the regulatory environment and other government actions, fluctuations in
metal prices and exchange rates, and business and operational risk management. TV undertakes no
obligation to update publicly or release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances after the date of the annual report. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements
attributable to TV or any person acting on its behalf are qualified by the cautionary statements herein.

Trevali's production plans at Santander and Caribou-Halfmile-Stratmat are based only on Indicated and
Inferred Mineral Resources1 and not Mineral Reserves, and do not have demonstrated economic viability.
Inferred Mineral Resources are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations
applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves, and there is therefore no
certainty that the conclusions of the production plans and Preliminary Economic Assessment will be realized.

Why Zinc?
Zinc demand remains strong while supply tightens:
Global demand driving zinc inventory drawdowns (LME Warehouse levels near 6-year lows)
incremental metal demand of approx. 500,000 tonnes of zinc metal per year projected
Imminent closure of major global zinc mines (Century, Lisheen, etc.) an overall reduction of
approx. 10% of global production is forecast; New marquee projects being deferred

Geotec, Redrilsa and Spektra Drilling
Appendix: Disclosures
Trevali's production plans at Caribou, Halfmile-Stratmat and Santander are based only on Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources and not Mineral Reserves and do
not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred Mineral Resources are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to
them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves, and there is therefore no certainty that the conclusions of the production plans and Preliminary
Economic Assessment (PEA) will be realized. Additionally where Trevali discusses exploration/expansion potential, any potential quantity and grade is conceptual in
nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a
mineral resource. Reported interim production figures are preliminary in nature and subject to regular and ongoing reconciliation studies.

Santander resource estimate was completed by Golder Associates in July 2012. The tabled resource estimate utilizes a 3% zinc equivalent (ZnEQ) cut-off and is
based on the Ordinary Kriging interpolation method and Silver, Lead, Zinc and Copper assay values. Minor capping was applied to the assays prior to estimation. The
bulk density was also estimated using Ordinary Kriging. The tonnages for the footwall zones are also included, but those for the tailings are not included. The average
interpolated bulk density for Magistral North was 2.88 g/cm3, Magistral Central 2.94 g/cm3, Magistral South 2.97 g/cm3, Puajanca South 2.76 g/cm3, and Santander
Pipe (fixed) 3.4 g/cm3. The density of the minor footwall zones is similar to the Magistral zones. The contained oz. and lbs. in the table are in situ and have not had
mill factors applied to them.

Santander ZnEQ = ((Ag Price(g) x Ag Recovery x Ag Grade) + (Pb Price(t) x Pb Recovery x (Pb Grade(%)/100)+(Zn Price(t) x Zn Recovery x (Zn Grade(%)/100)))/Zn
Price(t). Golder utilized the US dollar three-year rolling average price for all three metals. Price for silver is ($25.99/oz) and that for Pb ($2,205), Zn ($2,094) and Cu
($7,782) is per tonne. A recovery of 85% was applied to Ag, 90% for Pb, 85% for Zn and 60% for Cu for calculating the ZnEQ formula. The pounds of metal are in-situ
and have not had any mining factors applied to them.

Halfmile-Stratmat PEA was completed by Tetra Tech Wardrop in October 2010. The resource estimate utilized a 5% zinc equivalent (ZnEQ) cut-off. The following
metallurgical recoveries were applied to the ZnEQ for the resource estimate: 89.7% zinc (Zn), 72% lead (Pb), 60% copper (Cu), and 48.6% silver (Ag).

Caribou resource estimate was completed by SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. in January 2013. The tabled resource estimate utilizes a 5% zinc equivalent (ZnEQ) cut-
off grade. ZnEq=((Cu Grade*Cu Price*Cu Recovery)+(Pb Grade*Pb Price*Pb Recovery)+(Zn Grade*Zn Price*Zn Recover)+(Au Grade*Au Price*Au Recovery)+(Ag
Grade*Ag Price*Ag Recovery))/Zn Price. In calculating ZnEq, SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. utilized the long term metal prices provide by Energy & Metals
Consensus Forecast. Price for Au is $1470 per ounce, Ag is $26 per ounce, Cu is $3.39 per pound, Pb is $1.18 per pound, and Zn is $1.14 per pound. A recovery of
83% was applied to Zn, 71% was applied to Pb, 57% was applied to Cu, 45% was applied to Ag, and 40% was applied to Au. The pounds of metal are in-situ and
have not had any mining factors applied to them.

Caribou PEA study was conducted in accordance with the definitions in Canadian National Instrument 43-101. SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. was the lead
independent consultant, with contributions from other independent consultants commissioned by Trevali Holland & Holland Consulting and Stantec Consulting. The
base case Caribou Mine Project PEA uses price assumptions of US$1.00/lb zinc, US$1.00/lb lead, US$3.00/lb copper, US$21.00/oz silver and US$1,200/oz gold.
These prices are based on a review of consensus price forecasts from financial institutions and similar studies that recently have been published. The PEA is
considered preliminary in nature and includes economic analysis that is based, in part, on inferred mineral resources. Inferred mineral resources are considered too
speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would allow them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty
that the results will be realized. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves because they do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Ruttan resource estimate completed by Tetra Tech Wardrop in February 2008. The resource estimate utilized a 1% copper equivalent (CuEQ) cut-off.
