CERTIFICATE OF
QUALIFIED PERSON 



As the author of the report entitled
“Kansanshi Copper Project Zambia — Operations Review” dated as of February
7th, 2005 (the “Technical Report”) prepared for First Quantum Minerals Ltd. (the
“Issuer”), I, Anthony R. Cameron, do hereby certify that: 



	1. 	  	I
am currently employed as a Mining Consultant by A&J Cameron and Associates
          Ltd., of P.O. Box 8046 South PerthWA, 6151, Australia.  






	2. 	  	My
residential address is: 138 Hensman Street, South Perth, WA, Australia.  






	3. 	  	I
graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Mining Engineering from the
          University of Queensland, Australia, in 1988. In addition, I was awarded a
          Graduate Diploma in Business by Curtin University in Western Australia in 2000
          and a Masters in Commercial Law by the University of Melbourne in 2004.  






	4. 	  	I
am a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (membership
          number 108264) and have been a member since 1994.  






	5.  	  	I
have worked as a Mining Engineer for a total of 17 years since my graduation           in
1988.  








	6.  	  	I
have read the definition of “qualified person” set out           in National
Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) and certify that by reason           of my
education, affiliation with a professional association (as defined in NI
          43-101) and past relevant work experience, I fulfill the requirements to be a
          “qualified person” for the purposes of NI 43-101.  






	7. 	  	I
am responsible for preparing the entire Technical Report. I visited the
          Kansanshi mine site in November 2004 for the purposes of gathering information
          for that report and have visited the site twice in 2005 as part of an ongoing
          mine planning review process.  






	8. 	  	I
have had prior involvement with the property that is the subject of the
          Technical Report. The nature of my prior involvement has been to review mine planning
 activities and prepare reports for the management of the issuer.  






	9. 	  	I
am not aware of any material fact or material change with respect to the
          subject matter of the Technical Report that is not reflected in the Technical
          Report, the omission to disclose which makes the Technical Report misleading.  






	10. 	  	I
am independent of the Issuer applying all of the tests in section 1.5 of
          National Instrument 43-101.  













- 2 - 








	11. 	  	I
have read NI 43-101 and Form 43-101F1, and the Technical Report has been prepared in
compliance with that instrument and form.  






Dated this 2nd day of February, 2006.
