Sierra Metals Completes First Phase of Systematic Drill Campaign and Confirms Dimensions of High-Grade Silver Mineralized Zone at its Cusi Mine in Mexico

“These drilling program results confirm the existence of high-grade silver mineralization and demonstrate a significant potential for our operations at the Cusi Mine. We are currently following up on this initial drilling program with an in-fill drill program to move the assay results into a measured mineral resource category which will be included in an updated mineral resource estimate for the Cusi mine expected to be released early in the fourth quarter” stated Alonso Lujan, Vice President Exploration at Sierra Metals. “Intercepts such as those returned in Holes 6, 14, 15 and 28 are characteristic of high grade epithermal deposits. Additionally, there is further potential to expand the exploration success at depth and along strike at the Santa Rosa de Lima zone as well as with other zones including the San Rafael Vein, San Nicolas Vein and the Bordo Fault. We look forward to further potential discoveries as we continue to explore the Cusi Mine district.”

Assays at Santa Elena mine show an average 5 g/t Au and 18 g/t Ag

“To say I’m excited about this assay would be an understatement. This result confirms what we had already stated- the Julio vein is rich in gold! The results from this vein will fluctuate but it’s important to keep in mind that we will also be digging in high grade zones as we work the shear wall. Getting Cesar involved is a real game changer for all as he knows this property extremely well. I would also like to add that our investors need to focus on our press releases for a source of information. Anything else is speculation or has been extrapolated from conversations I may have had.” added CEO Paul Thompson.

Pete Dougherty, President & CEO commented: “Drilling results in both the North and South Target areas, along with the known wedges of economic mineralization that were unavailable to us prior to the Fresnillo concession purchase by reason of mineral concession boundary alone, indicate strong potential to expand the current pit limits and extend mine life.
