(1) Increase in cash costs per copper pound sold in Q4 2015 is due to a write-down of inventory
of $7,944,486 to net realizable value.
(2) Total cash costs, average realized price and average realized margin are calculated on
post-commercial pounds sold only.
(3) Refer to the section on Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures at end of the press release.
Reconciliation of these measures is described in the MD&A.
Non-IFRS Financial Performance Measures
The Company has included certain non-IFRS measures in this press release, including “total cash
cost per copper pound”, “average realized price”, “average realized margin”, “adjusted EBITDA” and “adjusted EBITDA per share”. The
Company believes these measures, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, provide investors an
improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. The non-IFRS measures are intended to provide additional
information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with
IFRS. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to other
issuers.

reflects the current expectations or beliefs of Red Tiger based on information currently available to Red Tiger as well as certain
assumptions including the completion and filing of its annual financial statements, MD&A and Certification. Forward-looking
information is subject to a number of significant risks and uncertainties and other factors
that may cause the actual results of Red Tiger to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking information, and

therein.
