Highlights
For the quarter ended March 31, 2023 the Company generated revenue of $751.3 million (Q1 2022 - $991.1 million).
Production costs were higher than the prior year quarter due to inflationary impacts, however cash cost1 continue on track
with recent guidance. The Company generated gross profi t of $213.3 million (Q1 2022 - $478.8 million) and adjusted
EBITDA of $336.9 million (Q1 2022 - $587.8 million).
Overall, our operations performed well during the first quarter of 2023 and the Company remains on track to achieve
production guidance.
Operational Performance
Candelaria (80% owned): Candelaria produced 39,167 tonnes of copper, and approximately 24,000 ounces of gold in
concentrate on a 100% basis in the quarter. Copper production was lower than the comparable prior year quarter due to
grades whereas gold production was higher than the prior year quarter due to throug hput. Current quarter production
costs and copper cash cost of $2.21/lb were higher than the prior year quarter largely owing to higher cont ractor and
maintenance costs. Cash cost was further impacted by union bonus payments for the finalization of the rem aining two
union negotiations which were successfully completed during the first quarter 2023, and lower sales volumes.
Chapada (100% owned): Chapada produced 9,864 tonnes of copper and approximately 12,000 ounces of gold in
concentrate in the quarter. C opper production was lower than the prior year quarter primarily due to planned lower
recoveries partially offset by higher throughput. Current quarter production for both metals was above expectations due
to higher throughput. Production costs were lower due to lower sales volumes. Copper cash cost of $2.37/lb for the
quarter was higher than the prior year quarter due to higher consumable costs and lower sales volumes.
Eagle (100% owned): During the quarter Eagle produced 3,724 tonnes of nickel and 3,140 tonnes of copper which were
lower than the prior year quarter due to planned lower grades and lower throughput. Production costs were higher than
the comparable prior year quarter due to higher consumable costs. Nickel cash cost in the quarter of $2.43/lb was higher
than the prior year quarter due primarily to lower by-product copper price and lower sales volumes.
Neves-Corvo (100% owned): Neves-Corvo produced 7,574 tonnes of copper for the quarter and 27,793 tonnes of zinc.
Copper production was lower tha n the prior year comparable quarter, due primarily to lower throughput and grades,
while zinc production was higher primarily due to increased throughput driven by the ramp -up of the Zinc Expansion
Project ("ZEP"). Production costs were higher than the pri or year due to higher zinc volumes and copper cash cost of
$1.69/lb for the quarter was comparable to the prior year quarter.
Zinkgruvan (100% owned): Zinc production of 20,760 tonnes, lead production of 7,407 tonnes and copper production of
1,717 tonnes were higher than the prior year quarter. Zinc and lead production were higher due to higher grades, and
better than expected throughput while copper production was higher due to grades. Production costs were lower than the
prior year quarter due to favourable foreign exchange. Zinc cash cost of $0.54/lb was higher than the prior year quarter
due to lower by-product credits.

Outlook
The Company remains in a strong financial position with its producing assets generating material free cash flow from
operations which continues to be allocated towards growth projects, acquisitions and shareholder distributions.
All metal production conti nues to track against the most recently reported guidance ranges as outlined in the MD&A for
the year ended December 31, 2022. Metal production is modestly weighted to the second half of the year for all sites
except Neves-Corvo where copper is equally wei ghted and zinc production is expected to increase as initiatives to enable
ZEP to consistently achieve nameplate capacity are executed and expected to result in improved overall throughput and
metal recovery rates.
Forecast cash costs at all sites are trending within or better than guidance ranges due to lower than anticipated production
cost at all sites except Eagle, where cash cost is trending higher due to anticipated lower sales volumes.
The Company continues to experience continuing risks associate d with global inflation as well as supply chain delivery. To
date, there have been no significant impacts on our operations relating to supply chain availability. The Company has
implemented procurement strategies and foreign exchange and diesel hedging pr ograms to mitigate the impact on costs
and continues to monitor these risks.
Cash based capital expenditures, are tracking well to the most recent guidance of $1,100.0 million, inclusive of capitalized
costs for the Josemaria Project. Similarly, total exploration expenditures are on target of $45.0 million for 2023.

Highlights
For the quarter ended March 31, 2023 the Company generated revenue of $751.3 million (Q1 2022 - $991.1 million).
Production costs were higher than the prior year quarter due to inflationary impacts, however cash cost 1 continues on track
with recent guidance. The Company generated gross profit of $213.3 million (Q1 2022 - $478.8 million) and adjusted EBITDA1
of $336.9 million (Q1 2022 - $587.8 million).
Overall, our operations performed well during the first quarter of 2023 and the Company remains on track to achieve
production guidance.
Operational Performance
Candelaria (80% owned): Candelaria produced 39,167 tonnes of copper, and approximately 24,000 ounces of gold in
concentrate on a 100% basis in the quarter. Copper production was lower than the comparable prior year quarter due to
grades whereas gold production was higher than the prior year quarter due to throughput. Current quarter production costs
and copper cash cost of $2.21/lb were higher than the prior year quarter largely owing to higher contractor and maintenance
costs. Cash cost was further impacted by union bonus payments for the finalization of the remaining two union negotiations,
which were successfully completed during the first quarter 2023, and lower sales volumes.
Chapada (100% owned): Chapada produced 9,864 tonnes of copper and approximately 12,000 ounces of gold in concentrate
in the quarter. Copper production was lower than the prior year quarte r primarily due to planned lower recoveries partially
offset by higher throughput. Current quarter production for both metals was above expectations due to higher throughput.
Production costs were lower due to lower sales volumes. Copper cash cost of $2.37 /lb for the quarter was higher than the
prior year quarter due to higher consumable costs and lower sales volumes.
Eagle (100% owned): During the quarter Eagle produced 3,724 tonnes of nickel and 3,140 tonnes of copper which were lower
than the prior year quarter due to planned lower grades and lower throughput. Production costs were higher than the
comparable prior year quarter due to higher consumable costs. Nickel cash cost in the quarter of $2.43/lb was higher than
the prior year quarter due primarily to lower by-product copper price and lower sales volumes.
Neves-Corvo (100% owned): Neves-Corvo produced 7,574 tonnes of copper for the quarter and 27,793 tonnes of zinc. Copper
production was lower than the prior year comparable quarter, due primarily to lower throughput and grades, while zinc
production was higher primarily due to increased throughput driven by the ramp -up of the Zinc Expansion Project ("ZEP").
Production costs were higher than the prior year due to higher zinc volumes and copper cash cost of $1.69/lb for the quarter
was comparable to the prior year quarter.
Zinkgruvan (100% owned): Zinc production of 20,760 tonnes, lead production of 7,407 tonnes and copper production of
1,717 tonnes were higher than the prior year quarter. Zinc and lead production were higher due to higher grades, and better
than expected throughput while copper production was higher due to grades. Production costs were lower than the prior
year quarter due to favourable foreign exchange. Zinc cash cost of $0.54/lb was higher than the prior year quarter due to
lower by-product credits.

Outlook
The Company remains in a strong financial position with its producing as sets generating material free cash flow from
operations1 which continues to be allocated towards growth projects, acquisitions and shareholder distributions.
All metal production continues to track against the most recently reported guidance ranges as out lined in the MD&A for the
year ended December 31, 2022. Metal production is modestly weighted to the second half of the year for all sites except
Neves-Corvo where copper is equally weighted and zinc production is expected to increase as initiatives to ena ble ZEP to
consistently achieve nameplate capacity are executed and expected to result in improved overall throughput and metal
recovery rates.
Forecast cash costs at all sites are trending within or better than guidance ranges due to lower than anticipat ed production
cost at all sites except Eagle, where cash cost is trending higher due to anticipated lower sales volumes.
The Company continues to experience continuing risks associated with global inflation as well as supply chain delivery. To
date, ther e have been no significant impacts on our operations relating to supply chain availability. The Company has
implemented procurement strategies and foreign exchange and diesel hedging programs to mitigate the impact on costs and
continues to monitor these risks.
Cash based capital expenditures, are tracking well to the most recent guidance of $1,100.0 million, inclusive of capitalized

Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 amounted to $ 751.3 million which was lower in comparison to the prior
quarter primarily as a result of lower realized metal prices and price adjustments ($151.8 million).
Revenue from gold and silver for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 includes the partial recognition of an upfront purchase
price on the sale of precious metals streams for Candelaria, Neves-Corvo, and Zinkgruvan as well as the cash proceeds which
amount to approximately $425/oz for gold and between $4.25/oz and $4.57/oz for silver.
Chapada’s copper revenue includes the recognition of deferred revenue from copper streams acquired with the Chapada
mine, as well as the cash proceeds of 30% of the market price of the copper sold under the streams.
Revenue is recorded using the metal price received for s ales that settle during the reporting period. For sales that have not
been settled, an estimate is used based on the expected month of settlement and the forward price of the metal at the end
of the reporting period. The difference between the estimate and the final price received is recognized by adjusting revenue
in the period in which the sale is settled. Settlement dates can range from one to six months after shipment.

Financial Results
Production Costs
Production costs for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 were $417.8 million an increase of $35.3 million over the first quarter
in the prior year. These production cost increases were primarily due to increased contractor and maintenance costs at
Candelaria.
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization
Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 decreased, primarily attributable to
reduced Candelaria deferred stripping amortization.

General Exploration and Business Development
Total general exploration and business development expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was higher than the
comparable prior year quarter due mainly to increased corporate development expenses related to the acquisition of
Caserones. During the current quarter, exploration costs were spent primarily on in -mine and near -mine targets at the
Company’s operations. Geophysical surveys were conducted at Candelaria, Chapada and Zinkgruvan. Drilling at Candelaria
was divided between Ojos district and Candelaria North with four rigs. Exploration drilling at Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan was
primarily focused along near-mine mineralized trends; Drilling at Chapada has primarily focused on Saúva and the Chapada
District with four drill rigs operating during the quarter. Drilling and geophysical surveys will ramp up during the second quarter
at Eagle.
Other Income
Net other income for the year ended March 31, 2023 was higher than the prior year due to foreign exchange and trading gains
on equity investments of $22.1 million and realized as well as unrealized gains on foreign currency contracts of $34.2 million.
In the prior year quarter, a larger tax refund was received related to a subsidiary sold in a prior period.
Foreign exchange gains and losses recorded in other income primarily resulted from foreign exchange revaluation of working
capital denominated in foreign currencies. Period end exchange rates having a meaningful impact on foreign exchange
recorded at March 31, 2023 were:
March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022

Gross Profit
Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was lower than the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher production
costs, lower copper prices and sales volumes.
Production
Copper production for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was lower than the prior year quarter due to lower grades from the
open pit partially offset by higher throughput. Gold production was higher than the prior year quarter largely due to higher
throughput. Both metals performed better than fourth quarter 2022 production. Annual copper and gold production are on
track to achieve guidance.
Production Costs and Cash Cost
Production costs and copper cash cost for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 were higher than the prior year quarter, mainly
due to higher contractor services and higher maintenance costs. Cash cost was further impacted by union bonus payments
for the finalization of the remaining two union negotiations, which were successfully completed during the first quarter 2023,
as well as lower copper sales volumes. Annual copper cash cost guidance remains unchanged.
AISC for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was higher than that reported in the prior year quarter due to higher cash cost
and higher sustaining capital expenditures.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, approximately 14,000 oz of gold and 200,000 oz of si lver were subject to terms of a
streaming agreement from which approximately $425/oz of gold and $4.25/oz of silver were received.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at March 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $184.2 million.
Cash flow from operations for the three months ended M arch 31, 2023 amounted to $ 211.9 million and was $105.4 million
lower than the prior year quarter as a result of lower gross profit before depreciation of $275.1 million partially offset by a
lower comparative change in non-cash working capital and lower cash taxes paid.
Cash flow used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 amounted to $240.1 million and was higher
compared to the prior year quarter due to higher capital investments at Josemaria.
During the current quarter, the Company generated $19.5 million from financing activities compared to $10.3 million used in
the prior year quarter. The change is due to higher net proceeds for debt, settlement of foreign currency derivatives and lower
distributions to non-controlling interests during the current quarter.

Non-GAAP and Other Performance Measures
The Company uses certain performance measures in its analysis. These performance measures have no meaning within
generally accepted accounting principles under IFRS and, therefore, amounts presented may not be comparable to similar
data presented by other mining companies. This data is intended to provide additional information and should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The following are
non-GAAP measures that the Company uses as key performance indicators.
Net Debt
Net debt is a performance measure used by the Company to assess its financial position. Management believes that in
addition to conventional performance measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, net debt is a useful indicator to some
investors to evaluate the Company’s financial position. Net debt is defined as cash and cash equivalents, less debt and lease
liabilities, excluding deferred financing fees and can be reconciled as follows:

Net debt (34,573) (10,867)
Adjusted Operating Cash Flow and Adjusted Operating Cash Flow per Share
Adjusted operating cash flow per share is a performance measure used by the Company to assess its ability to generate cash
from its operations. Adjusted operating cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities, excluding changes in
non-cash working capital items. The Company believes adjusted operating cash flow per share is a relevant measure to some
investors, as it removes the impact of working capital, which can experience variability period -to-period. Adjusted operating
cash flow per share can be reconciled to the Company's cash provided by operating activities as follows:
Three months ended March 31,
($thousands, except share and per share amounts) 2023 2022
Cash provided by operating activities 211,875 317,257

Adjusted operating cash flow per share 0.30 0.64
Free Cash Flow from Operations and Free Cash Flow
The Company believes free cash flow from operations and free cash flow are relevant measures for investors. Free cash flow
from operations is indicative of the Company’s ability to generate cash from operations, after consideration of required
sustaining capital expenditures necessary to maintain operations. Free cash flow is a relevant measure for some investors, as
it is indicative of the Company’s available cash generated.
Free cash flow from operations is defined as cash flow provided by operating act ivities, excluding exploration and project
investigation costs and less sustaining capital expenditures. Free cash flow is defined as free cash flow from operations les s
expansionary capex and exploration and project investigation costs.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”), adjusted earnings and adjusted
EPS are non -GAAP measures. These measures are presented to provide additional information to investors and other
stakeholders on the Company’s underlying operational performance. The Company believes certain investors find this
information useful to evaluate the Company’s ability to generate cash flow from the Company’s core operations. Certain items
have been excluded from adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings such as unrealized foreign exchange and revaluation gains
and losses, impairment charges and reversals, gain or loss on debt settlement, interest on tax refunds and assessments,

Realized Price per Pound
Realized price per pound and price per ounce are non-GAAP ratios that are calculated using the non-GAAP financial measures
of current period sales and prior period adjustments. Realized prices exclude the effects of the stream cash effects as well as
TC/RCs. Management believes that measuring these prices enables investors to better understand performance based on the
realized metal sales in the current and prior periods.
Capital Expenditures
Identifying capital expenditures, on a cash basis, using a sustaining or expansionary classification provides investors with a
better understanding of costs required to maintain existing operations, and costs required for future growth of existing or
new assets.
• Sustaining capital expenditures – Expenditures which maintain existing operations and sustain production levels.
• Expansionary capital expenditures – Expenditures which increase current or future production capacity, cash flow or
earnings potential.
Where an expenditure both maintains and expands current operations, classification would be based on the primary decision
for which the expenditure is being made. Expansionary capital expenditures are reported excluding capitalized interest and
therefore is a non-GAAP measure. Sustaining capital expenditure is a supplementary financial measure.
Cash Cost per Pound
Copper, zinc and nickel cash costs per pound are key performance measures that management uses to monitor performance.
Management uses these statistics to assess how well the Company’s producing mines are performi ng and to assess overall
efficiency and effectiveness of the mining operations. Cash cost is a non-GAAP measure and, although it is calculated according
to accepted industry practice, the Company’s disclosed cash costs may not be directly comparable to oth er base metal
producers.
• Cash cost per pound, gross – Total cash costs directly attributable to mining operations, excluding any allocation of
upfront streaming proceeds or capital expenditures for deferred stripping, are divided by the sales volume of the primary
metal to arrive at gross cash cost per pound. As this measure is not impacted by fluctuations in sales of by-product metals,
it is generally more consistent across periods.
===== SIDA 35 =====
25
• Cash cost per pound, net of by -products – Credits for by -products sales are deducted from total cash costs directly
attributable to mining operations. By-product revenue is adjusted for the terms of streaming agreements, but excludes
any deferred revenue from the allocation of upfront cash received. The net cash costs are divided by the sales volume of
the primary metal to arrive at net cash cost per pound. The inclusion of by-product credits provides a broader economic
measurement, incorporating the benefit of other metals extracted in the production of the primary metal.
All-in Sustaining Cost (“AISC”) per Pound
AISC per pound is an extension of the cash cost per pound measure discussed above and is also a key performance measure
that management uses to monitor performance. Management uses this measure to analyze margins achi eved on existing
assets while sustaining and maintaining production at current levels. Expansionary capital and certain exploration costs are
excluded from this definition as these are costs typically incurred to extend mine life or materially increase the productive
capacity of existing assets, or for new operations. Corporate general and administrative expenses have also been excluded
from the all -in sustaining cost measure, as any attribution of these costs to an operating site would not necessarily be
reflective of costs directly attributable to the administration of the site.

(iii) New standards and interpretations adopted
In May 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12, Income Taxes. The amendments to IAS 12 narrow the scope
of the initial recognition exemption so that it no longer applies to transactions which give rise to equal amounts
of taxable and deductible temporary differences. The Company i s to recognize a deferred tax asset and deferred
tax liability for temporary differences arising on initial recognition for certain transactions, including leases and
reclamation provisions. The amendments to IAS 12 are effective for annual reporting perio ds beginning on or
after January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the amendments effective January 1,
2023, with no material impact to the consolidated financial statements for 2023 or the comparative period.
(iv) Critical accounting estimates and judgments in applying the entity’s accounting policies
Areas of judgment that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are
disclosed in Note 2 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Fair values of financial instruments are determined by valuation methods depending on hierarchy levels as defined
below:
Level 1 – Quoted market price in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or
liabilities, either directly (i.e. observed prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 – Inputs for the assets or liabilities are not based on observable market data.
The Company calculates fair values based on the following methods of valuation and assumptions:
Marketable securities/equity investments/restricted funds – The fair value of investments in shares is determined
based on the quoted market price.
Trade receivables/pricing provisions on concentrate sales – The fair value of trade receivables that contain
provisional pricing sales arrangements are va lued using quoted forward market prices. The Company recognized
positive pricing adjustments of $28.3 million in revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2023 (Q1 2022
- $88.5 million positive pricing adjustments).
Foreign currency contracts – The fair value of these derivatives are determined by the counterparties to the
contracts and are assessed by Management using pricing models based on active market prices.
