With respect to forward-looking statements and information contained in this presentation, First Quantum has made numerous assumptions including among other things, assumptions about the price of copper, gold, cobalt, nickel, PGE, and sulphuric acid, anticipated costs and expenditures, and First Quantum's ability to achieve its goals. Although management of First Quantum believes that the assumptions made and the expectations represented by such statements or information are reasonable, there can be no assurance that a forward-looking statement or information herein will prove to be accurate.

These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, uncertainties surrounding the ability to realize operational synergies following completion of the offer, reliance on Inmet s publicly available information which may not fully identify all risks related to its performance, success in integrating the retail distribution systems, and the integration of supply chain management processes, future production volumes and costs, costs for inputs such as oil, power and sulphur, political stability in Zambia, Peru, Mauritania, Finland, Turkey, Spain, Panama and Australia, adverse weather conditions in any of the foregoing countries, labor disruptions, mechanical failures, water supply, procurement and delivery of parts and supplies to the operations and the production of off-spec material. See First Quantum s annual information form for additional information on risks, uncertainties and other factors relating to the forward-looking statements and information. Although we have attempted to identify factors that would cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those disclosed in the forward-looking statements or information, there may be other factors, many of which are beyond the control of First Quantum, that might cause actual results, performances, achievements or events not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements or information. While First Quantum may elect to update the forward-looking statements at any time, First Quantum does not undertake to update them at any particular time or in response to any particular event, other than as may be required by applicable securities laws.

First Quantum has no means of verifying the accuracy or completeness of such information or statements made by or derived from third-party sources or whether there has been any failure by such sources to identify events that may have occurred or may affect the significance or accuracy of any information or statements. This presentation does not constitute an offer to buy or an invitation to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy or invitation to sell, any securities of First Quantum or Inmet. Such an offer may only be made pursuant to the offer and takeover bid circular First Quantum has filed with the Canadian securities regulators and pursuant to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any other such jurisdiction. In accordance with applicable Canadian securities regulatory requirements, all mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates disclosed herein have been prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"), classified in accordance with Canadian Institute of Mining Metallurgy and Petroleum's "CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves Definitions and Guidelines" (the "CIM Guidelines"). The terms "mineral resources", "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources" are recognized by Canadian securities regulatory authorities, however, they may not be recognized by the securities regulatory authorities of other jurisdictions. Pursuant to the CIM Guidelines, mineral resources have a higher degree of uncertainty than mineral reserves as to their existence as well as their economic and legal feasibility. Inferred mineral resources, when compared with measured or indicated mineral resources, have the least certainty as to their existence, and it cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will be upgraded to an indicated or measured mineral resource as a result of continued exploration. Pursuant to NI 43-101, inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of any economic analysis, including any feasibility study. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of a mineral resource exists, will ever be converted into a mineral reserve, or is or will ever be economically or legally mineable or recovered.
