The Company plans to continue with its disciplined approach of profitable growth and now plans to proceed with the next step of the completion of a prefeasibility study to further de-risk the plan and determine the best path forward.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<div class=\"bwpagebreakafter\" \/>\n<p><i>He continued \u201cThe PEA study compared the value of the current operations at Cusi at 1,200 TPD against several output expansion alternatives from 2,400 to 3,500 TPD and determined 2,400 TPD as the optimum production level based on our current mineral resource base.<\/i><i>\u201d<\/i><i \/><\/p>\n<p><i>He concluded, \u201cCusi is the smallest of our three mining operations, however, its silver resources which include 31.3 million ounces of Measured and Indicated plus 23 million ounces of Inferred provide Sierra Metals with economic leverage to the improving silver market fundamentals. We are continuing with our strategy to increase the value of the Company on a per share basis. This builds upon the demonstrated success we have shown with increasing our current mineral resource base and improving the throughput at all mines.\u201d <\/i><\/p>\n<p><b><span class=\"bwuline\">Mineral Resource Estimate<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe Property is in the Cusihuarachi District of Chihuahua State, Mexico, approximately 135 km southwest of Chihuahua City. Epithermal mineralization has been mined in the area since its discovery in the early 1800\u2019s. Mineralization is bound between regionally significant northwest trending faults; eight mineralized zones are recognized at the property, mineralized zones are up to 10 meters across and include silicified faults, veins, and breccias. Seven epithermal veins are recognized at the property, veins typically range between 0.5 and 2.0 meters wide, dip steeply, extend 100 to 200 meters along strike, and extend up to 400 meters depth. Vein orientations range between northeast and northwest.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThis PEA considers depleted Measured, Indicated, and Inferred resources reported in 2020 by SRK and effective as of August 31, 2020.

Mineral resources are not ore reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. All figures rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimates. Gold, silver, lead and zinc assays were capped where appropriate.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n(2) Mineral resources are reported at a single cut-off grade of 95 g\/t AgEq based on metal price assumptions*, metallurgical recovery assumptions, personnel costs (US$10.56\/t), mine operation, transport and maintenance costs (US$24.86.41\/t), processing operation and maintenance (US$11.86\/t), and general and administrative and other costs (US$3.20\/t).\n<\/p>\n<p>\n* Metal price assumptions considered for the calculation of the cut-off grade and equivalency are: Silver: (US$\/oz 20.0), Lead (US$\/lb. 0.91), Zinc (US$\/lb. 1.07) and Gold (US$\/oz 1,541.00). Source: CIBC Global Mining Group, Consensus Forecast, September 30, 2020\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe resources were estimated by SRK. Giovanny Ortiz, B.Sc., PGeo, FAusIMM #304612 of SRK, a Qualified Person, performed the resource calculations for the Cusi Mine.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n** Based on the historical production information of Cusi, the metallurgical recovery assumptions are: 87% Ag, 57% Au, 86% Pb, 51% Zn.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"bwpagebreakafter\" \/>\n<p><b><span class=\"bwuline\">Mining Methodology<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nBench and fill mining method is currently used in the main areas of the mine and to a lesser extent, room and pillar mining is also used. The mining method used varies depending on geotechnical constraints, mineralization trends, dimensions, and mine production targets.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nUsing the updated Mineral Resource estimate, Sierra Metals performed an expansion analysis to determine how the Cusi mine could achieve higher sustainable production rates. The analysis indicated that higher production rates are achievable through the massification of the bench and fill mining method in the new production areas, which will allow the sustainability of the operation.\n<\/p>\n<p><b><span class=\"bwuline\">Mineral Processing<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe Mal Paso Plant, located approximately 50 kilometers from the Cusi Mine, uses a conventional crushing-milling-flotation circuit to recover mineral and to produce commercial quality Lead\/Silver and Zinc concentrates. Mineral is delivered from the mine to the plant in 20-tonne trucks.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nMineral processing and the recovery of the mineral is demonstrated, and silver recoveries are established at 87%.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Mal Paso Plant increased throughput from 450 TPD at the beginning of 2018 to 1,200 TPD currently. In line with proposed increases in mine output, the processing capacity at Mal Paso will increase to 2,400 TPD in 2024.\n<\/p>\n<p><b><span class=\"bwuline\">Economic Analysis<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThis PEA indicates an after tax NPV of US$81 million (using a discount rate of 8%) at 2,400 TPD (in 2024). Total operating cost for the life of mine is US$352 million, equating to a total operating cost of US$35.24 per tonne milled and US$8.83 per silver equivalent ounce.
