BMO Capital Markets and Dundee Securities Corporation, Aurelian’s financial advisors, have provided oral opinions to the Aurelian Board of Directors that the consideration offered
is fair, from a financial point of view, to Aurelian’s shareholders.

Mr. Anderson,

we the shareholders

request a second opinion.

Preferably from someone outside the Canadian Securities industry that knows something about Ecuador. Maybe a Codelco analyst, or perhaps this guy I know in Buenos Aires...
