Audra Walsh, President and CEO of Sierra Metals, commented: "2014 was another record year of metal production driven by organic growth in our three mines. The Company's metal production exceeded the high end of the guidance for silver, gold, lead and zinc while copper production was within the guidance range. Our Q4 2014 production of 875,400 silver ounces was the highest quarter in the history of the Company, as was the ore throughput. The management team remains focused on executing opportunities to further increase production and reduce costs in 2015, which we anticipate will help offset the impact of depressed metal prices. The quality of our assets will enable us to continue delivering solid production results during 2015."



Mine Operations



The total tonnes of ore processed of 1,706,715 in 2014 compared to 1,321,781 in 2013 was a 29% increase year-over-year. The success of increasing consolidated metal production in 2014 was assisted by higher throughput at all three mines, Bolivar (76%), Cusi (45%) and Yauricocha (6%).
