Thomas Atkins, President and CEO of Mammoth commented on the debt settlement and options issuance, stating: “These shares for debt and options are being issued at a 33% premium to the recently closed private placement financing. The settlement of debt for shares, where certain insiders were willing to accept such shares enables this amount to be invested in drilling, With the company soon to begin releasing results from its diamond drill program at the Tenoriba gold-silver property in Chihuahua, Mexico this share for debt and the annual option issuance is timed prior to any news flow on the drilling where black-out periods can occur and to eliminate any risk that the timing of any future share/option issuance may be influenced by knowledge of pending results. The Company expects to report on the results from this drilling in the coming weeks as results become available.

“Sierra’s management team is extremely pleased with the significant increases realized in the measured and indicated resource, and the increase in inferred resources reported in this resource estimate for the Cusi Mine” stated Igor Gonzales, President and CEO of Sierra Metals Inc. “When compared to the previous estimate from January 2017, the Company saw a 129% increase to the measured and indicated resource tonnage and a 36% increase in the inferred resource tonnage. These increases represent a significant amount of additional drilling and mine exploration development work completed at the Cusi Mine which included the Santa Rosa de Lima Zone which has strong potential for further structural extensions of high-grade zones. Furthermore, the increased resource tonnage volume is a result of wider, higher-grade silver zones which are the foundation for the Company’s new operating plan which should significantly improve the cashflow prospects for Cusi in 2018 and beyond.”
