Mark Brennan, President and CEO of Sierra Metals commented: “Sierra had a very strong start in 2015 with record production, throughput and strong cash flows. However, the latter part of 2015 has been challenging with weaker financial and production results as a result of lower metal prices and the introduction of important operational improvements, primarily at the Yauricocha Mine. These changes and improvements have temporarily impacted production levels but aim to structurally improve our operations and production capabilities for the longer term.”
