Sierra Madre Gold and Silver Ltd. Secures Binding Off-Take Agreement for La Guitarra
Vancouver, July 15, 2024 - Sierra Madre Gold and Silver Ltd. (TSXV: SM) (OTCQX: SMDRF) ("Sierra Madre" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has signed a binding off-take agreement with Swiss-based global minerals trader MRI Trading AG ("MRI") for 100% of concentrate sales from the Guitarra silver-gold mine in Mexico for a 24-month term. Alex Langer, Sierra Madre's President and CEO, states, "While we received extensive interest, including multiple offers from various parties for the Guitarra silver-gold concentrate, we ultimately chose to sign with MRI. MRI had previously received the concentrate from the time that the mine was last in production in 2018 and understands the high quality of the material. We are very pleased with the terms of this agreement and the 24-month length is in line with the recently executed US$5 million loan facility with First Majestic Silver Corp. This offtake agreement is a key finishing step needed for a possible restart of La Guitarra."
