  of the Bankable Feasibility Study prepared for Industrias Infinito S.A. and

3.

I hold the following
  academic qualifications:

  a registered Professional Geologist licensee in Northwest Territories.



5.

I have worked as

  of mining properties in consulting engineering companies for the last 14 years.
   My work experience includes the management of environmental aspects of
  feasibility studies, management of geochemical and water quality testwork programs
  and the development of environmental implications and specifications for waste
  rock and tailings management options.



6.

I am familiar with
  NI 43-101 and, by reason of education, experience and professional registration
  I fulfill the requirements of a qualified person under Section 1.1 part b) of
  the definition of qualified person in NI 43-101 for the subject

I have visited the
  property which is the subject of this report in November of 2005;



8.

I managed the preparation
  by Golder Associates Ltd. of the reports titled Water Quality Modeling

11.

I have read NI 43-101
  and I consider that the specific calculations as reported in the report titled
  Water Quality Modeling of the Waste Storage Facility Pond, for which
  I am responsible have been prepared in compliance with the instrument, however
  in completing these calculations reliance was placed on baseline water quality
  data as provided by Vannessa Ventures Ltd. and recommendations regarding data
  gaps have been provided in the report.  Due to the historical nature of
  the data provided by Vannessa Ventures it was not possible to review the details
  and QA/QC program for the water quality baseline data.



12.

As of the date of
  this certificate, to the best of my knowledge, information and belief, the calculations
  completed for which I am responsible contain the scientific and technical information
  that is required to be disclosed to make the methodology of the calculations
  not misleading.  The resulting calculated water quality heavily relies
  on baseline water quality data and process water quality data and groundwater
  quality data as provided by Vannessa Ventures Limited and was not verified.
   Although the methodology and calculations are not misleading the accuracy
  of the end result may vary and is dependant on the quality of the data provided
  by Vannessa Ventures Limited.



13.

I consent to the
  filing of the report with any Canadian stock exchange or securities regulatory
  authority, and any publication by them of the report.
