Discount rate (Peru) 7.08% 7.08%   7.22%
Discount rate (Brazil) 7.63% 7.64%   8.02%
Exchange rate (BRL x USD) 5.43 5.66   4.84
Brownfield projects - LOM (years) From 3 to 25 From 3 to 25   From 4 to 21

(i) Although LOM is a key assumption, based on current facts and circumstances, including recent historical information, management does not consider a change in this assumption to be reasonably possible. Historically, LOM has remained stable or increased by one to two years, and given the current stage of mining operations, a significant reduction in LOM is not expected.

(i) These analyses are only applicable to Três Marias System, Juiz de Fora and Aripuanã CGUs, as these are in Brazil and their functional currency is BRL. Therefore, the appreciation of BRL over USD impacts the operational cost and expense, reducing the recoverable amount of these CGUs in USD, for consolidated purposes.
