Exploration results from the recently completed property wide soil sampling grid (approximately 1,000 samples) have confirmed the existence of the primary gold target, 600 metres X 800 metres. Historical data has been incorporated with the Company’s recent exploration work, resulting in field evidence that the north-south trending shear/vein structures coalesce in various zones along strike. This has reinforced the geological model that wider zones of gold mineralization, flanking the high-grade shear structures, some of which continue to be mined by local gambosinos (miners), where grades appear to be in the 15 g/t gold range, exist. The Company’s sampling of the one to two metre-wide structures has resulted in grades up to 46 g/t gold.

Darren Blasutti, President and Chief Executive Officer of Americas Silver, stated, “As we did when we acquired Scorpio Mining and the San Rafael project two years ago, we are taking a disciplined and highly accretive approach to our external growth strategy. The San Felipe acquisition provides our shareholders with an exciting development asset at an attractive valuation, which has the potential to add material high margin production scale that further enhances the tremendous value proposition of Americas Silver. While we remain highly focused on successfully executing the development of San Rafael on time and on budget, we are extremely excited to add this project to our pipeline. We believe it has the potential to drive the next leg of growth for our Company as we transition to a leading first quartile silver producer in 2018 and beyond.”

“Over the past year, we have been able to establish constructive working relationships with the members of the local community. The finalization of this agreement marks a major milestone in the development of the La Fortuna project and we look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship with the local stakeholders,” said Darren Koningen, President of Minera Alamos.
