Sierra Metals Inc. (TSX: SMT) (BVL: SMT) (NYSE AMERICAN: SMTS) (“Sierra Metals” or “the Company”) today announced assay results from a recently completed definition drilling program at the Bolivar West zone which is located adjacent to the current operations at the Bolivar Mine. The highlight of this program is that at completion the drill information will be included in a future resource update for the Bolivar Mine located in Urique, Chihuahua state, Mexico.
As quoted in the press release:

Alonso Lujan, Vice President Exploration at Sierra Metals stated: “The assay results have positively confirmed the existence of higher grade copper mineralization with an average copper equivalent grade of 2.55%. This will help to increase head grades at the mill when this material is included in the future mine plans.

The update is planned for completion in Q4 2017.” He continued, “We believe the Bolivar mining district has an attractive potential for further exploration success.”
