Hedge Notes:

Although not a hedge, the Alexco Completes Positive Bellekeno Mine Development Plan, Silver Wheaton Concurs -- Initiation of Construction Approved November 11, 2009 deal should be noted.

A total of US$35 million for construction and development of the Bellekeno mine is to be provided by Silver Wheaton under a silver purchase agreement entered into in October 2008. This agreement provides that Silver Wheaton will purchase 25% of future Keno Hill district silver production at a cost of US$3.90 per ounce of silver delivered, plus up-front deposit payments to Alexco totaling US$50 million. An initial US$15 million deposit payment was received in December 2008, and the remaining US$35 million will be received on a monthly draw-down basis subject to certain conditions including Alexco having sufficient committed funds available to complete construction and achieve production within specified time frames. The primary condition to draw-down under the agreement was the delivery to Silver Wheaton of the Development Plan and their acceptance that it was favourable, and this condition has now been met.
