The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to fund surface and underground drilling programs at its La Parrilla Silver Mine Complex ("La Parrilla"), and for general corporate and working capital purposes.

Greg McKenzie, President & CEO, stated: "We are pleased to have Eric Sprott, one of the most respected resource investors in the world, fund this private placement.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements:

Certain statements in this news release are forward-looking and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements are within the meaning of the phrase ‘forward-looking information' in the Canadian Securities Administrators' National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations. Forward-looking statements are not comprised of historical facts. Forward-looking statements include estimates and statements that describe the Company's future plans, objectives or goals, including words to the effect that the Company or management expects a stated condition or result to occur. Forward-looking statements may be identified by such terms as "believes", "anticipates", "expects", "estimates", "may", "could", "would", "will", or "plan". Since forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Although these statements are based on information currently available to the Company, the Company provides no assurance that actual results will meet management's expectations. Risks, uncertainties and other factors involved with forward-looking information could cause actual events, results, performance, prospects and opportunities to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. Forward-looking information in this news release includes, but is not limited to, the Company completing the Offering as planned and on the terms presented, the intended use of proceeds of the Offering, the closing conditions of the Offering, TSXV approval of the Offering, the anticipated Closing Date, statements with respect to Mr. Sprott's participation, including the terms and quantum thereof and the Company's reliance on exemptions under MI 61-101, and the Company's plans to transition La Parrilla into production.

In making the forward-looking statements included in this news release, the Company has applied several material assumptions, including that the Offering will close on the anticipated terms or at all; that the Units and Warrants will have the anticipated terms; that the Company will use the net proceeds of the Offering as anticipated; that the Company will receive all necessary regulatory approvals in respect of the Offering; that Mr. Sprott's participation will be completed on the terms described; that the Company's exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 remain available; that the Company's financial condition and development plans do not change because of unforeseen events; and management's ability to execute its business strategy without unexpected or adverse regulatory changes affecting La Parrilla. The Company cautions that its plans to transition La Parrilla into production, and any related production decisions, are based largely on internal Company data, historical operating results, reports, and engineering assessments, and are not supported by a current mineral reserve estimate prepared in accordance with NI 43-101, or by a preliminary economic assessment, pre-feasibility study, or feasibility study demonstrating economic and technical viability. As a result, there is increased uncertainty and a higher degree of economic and technical risk associated with the Company's production plans than would be the case if such reserve estimates or studies were completed and relied upon. No mineral reserves have been established for La Parrilla, and mineral resources that are not reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. There can be no assurance that production at La Parrilla will proceed as anticipated, or at all, or that anticipated production levels or operating costs will be achieved. Forward-looking statements and information are subject to various known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's ability to control or predict, that may cause the Company's actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information.

Such forward-looking information represents management's best judgment based on information currently available. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed, and actual future results may vary materially. Accordingly, readers are advised not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements or information.
