Gordon Cummings,
PRESIDENT & CEO
The completion of an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment for its Monterde project in 2011 is a significant step forward for Kimber Resources (TSX: KBR and NYSE Amex:KBX). The project, located in the prolific Sierra Madre Gold-Silver Belt of Northern Mexico, already has three gold-silver mineral deposits defined. The PEA shows the potential for low-cost gold and silver production with an after-tax IRR of 40% and a mine life of over 15 years. CEO Gordon Cummings discusses the next milestones he expects the project to achieve over the next few months.
(Note about updates: Since this interview was conducted in March 2012, Kimber has announced further high-grade drill results from its gold-silver Monterde property in the prolific Sierra Madre belt of Mexico. MTC-151 intercepted 4.2 metres of 6.2 g/t gold and 47 g/t silver while MTC-157 intercepted 4.5 metres of 4.9 g/t gold and 124 g/t silver.

Robert Archer
PRESIDENT & CEO
Canadian mining company Great Panther Silver (TSX: GPR) has proven its commitment to turn reserves into cash with its two operating silver-gold mines in Mexico. This year, it expects a 20% growth in production at both the Guanajuato Mine Complex and Topia Mine, while advancing other properties and aggressively pursuing acquisition opportunities. In the junior mining world where access to cash is paramount, Great Panther has cash cows to help achieve its goal of becoming a mid-tier primary silver producer with more than 5 million ounces of silver production annually. CEO Robert A. Archer discusses what investors can expect from this profitable primary silver producer over the next several months.
(Note about updates: Since this interview was conducted in March 2012, Great Panther Silver has achieved significant progress. The company had first quarter production at its 100% owned Guanajuato and Topia mines of 557,667 silver equivalent ounces, up 2% over the fourth quarter of 2011. As well, a quarterly record of gold production was achieved with 2,729 oz produced. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011 totaled $57.8 million for a 37% increase over 2010. The company’s gross profit or earnings from mining operations increased by 64% to $26.9 million for 2011, and net earnings increased 8% to $11.5 million.

Cream Minerals steps up drilling, updated 43-101 imminent
www.creamminerals.com • 1.888.267.1400
Michael O’Connor
PRESIDENT & CEO
Whoever in the business says money isn’t everything has not met Michael O’Connor. The CEO of Cream Minerals Ltd (TSX-V: CMA) would be the first to acknowledge that money is, in fact, what changed the company’s fortune. In 2008 and 2009 Cream was insolvent, had little cash and was $1.88 million in debt. In 2010 it fought off a hostile takeover bid from Endeavour Silver, and then closed a $6-million financing. That Cream managed to pay off all the debt and ended up with $5.45 million in the bank in 2011 speaks well of Cream’s dedicated and competent management. With the money, the company financed a 20,000-meter drill program at its flagship Nuevo Milenio silver-gold project in Mexico. In one year, Cream accomplished 85% more drilling than when it acquired the property in 2000. Mr. O’Connor shares why he only sees more upside from here onwards.
(Note about updates: Cream released the following update since this interview: The independent mineral resource estimate for Nuevo Milenio continues to be advanced. Challenges encountered in providing data to the consultant in a timely manner have impacted progress on the mineral resource estimate. Given the large amount of data involved including over 32,000 metres of drilling, a significant volume of surface samples, trench samples, underground channel samples as well as properly identified location coordinates for all but the drilling data combined with reviews and fact checks were significantly more time consuming than anticipated. The Company anticipates the release of the mineral resource by May month end 2012.)
