Igor Gonzales, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated “the listing of our common shares on the NYSE MKT represents an important corporate milestone for Sierra Metals and another step in our plan to enhance shareholder value by increasing stock liquidity and exposure to institutional investors”.

“The San Francisco mine had another strong quarter, exceeding the upper end of our production guidance range of 20,000 to 22,000 ounces for Q2 with 22,011 ounces produced and 21,495 ounces sold,” said Greg McCunn, Chief Executive Officer. “Our balance sheet remained strong throughout the quarter with approximately $35 million in cash on hand as at June 30, 2017, as we continued to invest the majority of the cash flow from operations into advancing our high-grade, low cost Ana Paula Project in Guerrero, Mexico. With the recently announced CAD$50 million equity financing expected to close on or about July 20, 2017, our balance sheet will be further strengthened, allowing us to continue to advance the development at Ana Paula, including completion of a definitive feasibility study, change of land use permitting, surface exploration drilling and development of an underground decline for exploration below the proposed open pit.”
