“The production results this quarter are reflective of the lower grades achieved, coupled with 7 days of lost production while upgrades to the crusher were being completed at the mill. The upgrades were significant to the overall operation as they will enable us to realize more consistent throughput from the crusher during the rainy season in Mexico.” said David Wolfin, President and CEO. “We continue to focus on profitable ounces and a considered approach to keeping costs controlled company-wide, particularly as we are experiencing lower metal prices.”

Igor Gonzales, President and CEO of Sierra Metals, commented: “The Company has started 2019 with solid production results despite an illegal strike action which occurred at our Yauricocha Mine. This can be attributed to in part to stronger performance from our Mexican Mines including record production at the Cusi Mine where we are reaping the benefits of operational improvement programs and the initial stage of mill expansion at both the Cusi and Bolivar Mines. The Company has also initiated scoping studies which are expected by mid-year 2019 to analyze future operational production increases and continue development at all three Mines. We are also working to update the NI 43-101 Technical Reports with an updated report expected at the end of Q2-2019 for the Yauricocha Mine, and at the end of Q4-2019 for the Bolivar and Cusi Mines.”

The net proceeds will be used primarily for funding the Salar del Diablo Lithium Property drilling program and working capital.
