Primero Provides Exploration Update; Black Fox Deep Central Zone Expanded to the West; Vein Extensions at San Dimas and Promising Lechuguilla Concession Results

“I am exceptionally pleased with the results achieved by our Black Fox and San Dimas exploration teams,” stated Ernest Mast, President and Chief Executive Officer. “At Black Fox, the Deep Central Zone is now delivering production ore and we have successfully identified additional high-grade mineralization to the west. At San Dimas, it is reassuring to see that our high-grade veins can continue to be extended with similar or greater widths than currently being mined. And as we look regionally at San Dimas, onto our concession not covered by the Silver Purchase Agreement I am optimistic about the initial results from the Causitas vein which has the potential to augment current mill feed given its proximity to an existing main road. The Causitas area, located in the Lechuguilla concession, is highly prospective and I look forward to announcing additional exploration results from a drilling program from this area before year-end.”

SilverCrest Announces Remaining Phase I Drilling Results from Las Chispas Project; Further Drilling Confirms Grade Continuity in Las Chispas Vein

Dunham Craig, P.Geo., Interim CEO remarked, “The remaining drill hole results from the Phase I drill program intercepted the Las Chispas vein which has further demonstrated continuity of high grades and potential mineable thicknesses. Phase II exploration work will continue to define the Las Chispas vein for resource estimation expected in H1 2017. As we continue to systematically explore this district-wide discovery with multiple undrilled epithermal veins, we could potentially have several more discoveries. The Babicanora area (no previous drilling), immediately adjacent to Las Chispas and William Tell veins, is considered the largest target in the district and will be tested in Phase II exploration.”
