Gordon Babcock, Chief Operating Officer of Sierra Metals Inc. commented: “We are satisfied with the updated Resource and Reserve report for the Bolivar mine and the quality of the defined areas within the Report. At Bolivar, a 20,000-meter drill program has been in execution since the latter part of 2016 with a significant portion already completed. Drilling is taking place at the Bolivar West, Bolivar Northwest and will continue at the La Sidra area. Also, a recently completed geophysical program utilizing Titan 24 techniques has targeted near-surface, coincident strong chargeability (IP) and resistivity anomalies in the Southwestern sector of the property near Bolivar West. These targets are being drilled with a diamond drilling program and subsequent exploration programs are targeted to increase tonnage and grade at Bolivar.”
