It primarily explores for gold, silver, lead, zinc, and copper deposits.

The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed - some indicating strength, some showing nesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its impressive record of earnings per share growth, good cash flow from operations and expanding profit margins. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that the stock has had a generally disappointing performance in the past year. 16 14 12 10 100 50 0 20.72 31.80 Ind Avg EPS ANALYSIS¹ ($) Q1-0.17 Q2 0.48 Q3-0.23 Q4-5.14 Q1 0.10 Q2-0.09 Q3 0.07 Q4 0.12 25.45 S&P 500 Q1 0.20 Q2 0.16 Q3 0.13 HIGHLIGHTS reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. This trend suggests that the performance of the business is improving. During the past fiscal year, turned its bottom line around by earning $0.20 versus -$5.06 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.41 versus $0.20). Net operating cash flow has increased to $315.00 million or 17.97% when compared to the same quarter last year. The firm also exceeded the industry average cash flow growth rate of -7.41%. 2015 2016 NA = not available NM = not meaningful 2017 1 Compustat fiscal year convention is used for all fundamental data items. 's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.20 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Despite the fact that 's debt-to-equity ratio is low, the quick ratio, which is currently 0.57, displays a potential problem in covering short-term cash needs. The company's current return on equity greatly increased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of significant strength within the corporation. When compared to other companies in the Metals & Mining industry and the overall market, 's return on equity is below that of both the industry average and the S&P 500. In its most recent trading session, has closed at a price level that was not very different from its closing price of one year earlier. This is probably due to its earnings growth as well as other mixed factors. The fact that the stock is now selling for less than others in its industry in relation to its current earnings is not reason enough to justify a buy rating at this time. PAGE 1

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS The metals and mining industry is comprised of companies that engage in exploration, mine development, and ore mining. The industry includes precious metals mining for metals such as gold, silver, and platinum aluminum as well as companies mining or processing industrial metals such as steel, copper, & aluminum. The US is the largest producer of primary aluminum and the second largest producer of gold, exporting materials worth over $26 billion annually. According to recent estimates, there are more than 7000 metals and mining firms in the US. The industry is mature, cyclical, capital intensive and dominated by large companies. Fierce consolidation activity has been a key trend since 2005. Some of the major names in the industry are Alcoa Inc. (AA), Century Aluminum Co. (CENX), Kaiser Aluminum Corporation (KALU), Nucor Corporation (NUE), Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. (CLF), and Newmont Mining Corp. (NEM). The US steel industry is currently worth more than $50 billion with annual growth rates around 1% to 2%. Process chains are long with high production volumes. Recently, large quantities of low-cost imports have impeded growth. However, the industry has seen enhanced productivity, energy efficiency, and higher yield due to restructuring, downsizing, and widespread implementation of new technologies. In the coming years, overcapacity and price instability will remain critical issues. Efficient production, better-suited products, enhanced capacity utilization and environmentally friendly practices are vital factors to future success. The US is the largest producer of primary aluminum, exporting $39 billion annually. The aluminum sector is cyclical, mature, capital intensive, and geographically concentrated. Demand comes from transportation, packaging, consumer electronics, construction, aerospace and power companies. The industry is overtly responsive to economic conditions. Companies are responding to pricing pressures through consolidation and vertical integration, which is aimed at streamlining the supply chain. In the US, Nevada accounts for four-fifths of all domestic gold output. Domestic demand for gold has declined as retail jewelry sales have fallen sharply in recent years. However, higher consumption in emerging countries and increased investor demand for gold investment products like ETFs have helped bolster market prices. High gold prices have attracted new players and have prompted existing ones to expand. Future growth for the US metals and mining industry depends upon demand from BRIC nations, developing countries, and domestic consumers. The industry faces a number of challenges including environmental concerns, deteriorating ore grades, overproduction, technological changes, and the global economy. Intense competition from nations such as Canada, Russia, China and Mexico pose threats to the US mining industry because those nations have lower labor costs, lax environmental regulations and lower operating costs. Sustainability of high prices, resurgent global demand, particularly from the Asia-Pacific region, and signs of increasing industrial output across Europe and the United States may boost industry performance.

It is provided in order to give you a deeper understanding of our rating methodology as well as to paint a more complete picture of a stock's strengths and nesses. It is important to note, however, that these factors only tell part of the story. To gain an even more comprehensive understanding of our stance on the stock, these factors must be assessed in combination with the stock s valuation. Please refer to our Valuation section on page 5 for further information. FACTOR SCORE Growth 2.0 out of 5 stars Measures the growth of both the company's income statement and cash flow. On this factor, has a growth score better than 30% of the stocks we rate. Total Return 1.5 out of 5 stars Measures the historical price movement of the stock. The stock performance of this company has beaten 20% of the companies we cover. Efficiency 2.0 out of 5 stars Measures the strength and historic growth of a company's return on invested capital. The company has generated more income per dollar of capital than 30% of the companies we review. Price volatility 1.0 out of 5 stars Measures the volatility of the company's stock price historically. The stock is less volatile than 10% of the stocks we monitor. Solvency 4.5 out of 5 stars Measures the solvency of the company based on several ratios. The company is more solvent than 80% of the companies we analyze. Income 3.0 out of 5 stars Measures dividend yield and payouts to shareholders. The company's dividend is higher than 50% of the companies we track. THESTREET RATINGS RESEARCH METHODOLOGY TheStreet Ratings' stock model projects a stock's total return potential over a 12-month period including both price appreciation and dividends. Our Buy, Hold or Sell ratings designate how we expect these stocks to perform against a general benchmark of the equities market and interest rates. While our model is quantitative, it utilizes both subjective and objective elements. For instance, subjective elements include expected equities market returns, future interest rates, implied industry outlook and forecasted company earnings. Objective elements include volatility of past operating revenues, financial strength, and company cash flows. Our model gauges the relationship between risk and reward in several ways, including: the pricing drawdown as compared to potential profit volatility, i.e.how much one is willing to risk in order to earn profits; the level of acceptable volatility for highly performing stocks; the current valuation as compared to projected earnings growth; and the financial strength of the underlying company as compared to its stock's valuation as compared to projected earnings growth; and the financial strength of the underlying company as compared to its stock's performance. These and many more derived observations are then combined, ranked, weighted, and scenario-tested to create a more complete analysis. The result is a systematic and disciplined method of selecting stocks. PAGE 3
