Primero's Great Veins

DAVID HAUGHTON, BMO Capital Markets (01/27/2011)
"Primero announced a 3% increase in its proven and probable gold and silver reserves to 886 Ko.z Au and 62.9 Moz. Ag (5.9m at 4.69 g/t Au; 332 g/t Ag), respectively. Inferred resources also increased, with gold up 23% to 2.0 Moz. and silver up 16% to 179 Moz. . .BMO Research assumes increased mineable reserves based on historical resource conversion rates at San Dimas (+90%). The largest contributor to the reserve and resource increase was the Sinaloa Graben, where Primero expects in five years it will contribute 50% of the ore mined. Encouraging exploration results. . .and the newly discovered Aranza vein (2.75m at 10.3 g/t Au; 1,115 g/t Ag), indicate continued growth in the area. . .The company aims to grow reserves at a higher rate in 2011 with planned exploration spending of US$12M."
