Sierra Metals Reports Positive Drilling Results on Wide High-grade Structures from the Cuye Zone at the Yauricocha Mine, Peru

Sierra Metals Inc. (TSX: SMT) (BVL: SMT) (NYSE AMERICAN: SMTS) (“Sierra Metals” or “the Company”) today announced drilling results demonstrating new limestone replacement mineralization at the Cuye Zone extension located within the Central Mine at Yauricocha.
As quoted in the press release:

Igor Gonzales, President and CEO of Sierra Metals stated: “Today’s results represent the existence of high-grade polymetallic mineralization at the Northern extension of Cuye, and suggest the possibility of even further mineralization at depth specifically from the copper sulphide orebodies which contain significant widths as shown in figure 5.” He continued, “The Central Mine area contains several high-grade mineralized areas opening the possibility for further discovery of additional orebodies along the Yauricocha fault. The Company has made a strong commitment to brownfield exploration in 2017 and results such as the ones released today continue to demonstrate that this investment is paying off with the potential to further grow our mineral resources and add high value tonnage. Brownfield drilling will continue into 2018 focusing on new discoveries and the expansion of areas within close proximity to our existing operations.”
