Escobal Project Update

Construction and underground development of the Escobal project continues with early mill commissioning commencing in late June 2013. Initial production of metals concentrates is expected to begin in the late third quarter of 2013.

Second quarter underground advance was 2,080 metres with total advance project to date at 9,221 metres. Access to 18 primary transverse and 18 secondary transverse stopes from the 1290 and 1265 footwall laterals was achieved at the end of the second quarter. Final development has been completed in the first five stopes and production drilling is advancing in the first three stopes as expected. Approximately 60,000 tonnes of mill feed stockpile is anticipated by mill start-up. Each of the stopes contains 30,000 to 50,000 tonnes.

The project continues on schedule and on budget with full production anticipated to commence in the first quarter of 2014. The Company believes it has sufficient funds to complete construction and commence production.

Qualified Person Statement

This news release has been approved by Charles Muerhoff, Tahoe's Vice President Technical Services and Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

Cautionary Note

Investors are cautioned that the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) is considered preliminary in nature and includes mineral resources, including inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves have not yet demonstrated economic viability. Due to the uncertainty that may be attached to mineral resources, it cannot be assumed that all or any part of a mineral resource will be upgraded to mineral reserves. Therefore, there is no certainty that the results concluded in the PEA will be realized.

The Company has not based its production decision on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability, and as a result, there may be an increased uncertainty of achieving any particular level of recovery of minerals or the cost of such recovery, including increased risks associate with developing a commercially mineable deposit.
