(1) For the second quarter and first half of 2016, this includes 10,608 and
27,305 tonnes, respectively of low-grade stockpile open pit ore.
(2) Based on actual days the mill operated during the year.
(3) Mill production represents metal contained in concentrates produced at
the mill, which is before payable metal deductions are levied by the
buyer of our concentrates. Payable metal deduction quantities are
defined in our contracts with the buyer of our concentrates and
represent an estimate of metal contained in the concentrates produced at
our mill which the buyer cannot recover through the smelting process.
There are inherent limitations and differences in the sampling method
and assaying of estimated metal contained in concentrates that are
shipped, and those contained metal estimates are derived from sampling
methods and assaying throughout the mill production process. The Company
monitors these differences to ensure that precious metal mill production
quantities are materially correct.
(4) Average metal prices realized vary from the market metal prices due to
final settlement adjustments from our provisional invoices when they are
settled. Our average metal prices realized will therefore differ from
the market average metal prices in most cases.

sales, which is the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure, please see Non-
