SANTACRUZ SILVER ANNOUNCES DIRECTOR RESIGNATION

James Hutton has resigned as a director of Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. Mr. Hutton has been with Santacruz since it completed its first public share offering in 2012. The company is conducting a search for a replacement director, which it expects to complete in early 2015.

"We are very appreciative of Mr. Hutton's contribution over the past years and we wish him all the very best into the future," said Arturo Prestamo, president and chief executive officer of the company. "James offered valuable counsel during his board tenure and he will not be easily replaced."
