Sierra Metals Inc. regrets to report that on August 20, 2013, an employee of a third party contractor was fatally injured when he was driving a front-end loader on a surface yard near the Promontorio silver mine and the ground below the equipment unexpectedly subsided. The Company believes the accident was caused by a ground subsidence following heavy rains recently experienced in the Cusi area. As a result of the accident, Mexican authorities have been contacted and they have directed that the Promontorio Mine temporarily stop production, pending completion of geophysical and hydrological surveys. The surveys have commenced and the Company anticipates receiving approval to restart operations by the end of this week. The Company will keep the market informed of any developments as they occur.
