Hochschild acquires full ownership of its Moris mine in northern Mexico 
 
 
Hochschild Mining plc ("Hochschild") is pleased to announce that it has 
exercised its right of first refusal to purchase the remaining 30% interest in 
the Moris mine from its JV partner EXMIN Resources Inc., for a total cash 
consideration of $1.5 million. The transaction consolidates Hochschild's 
position in northern Mexico and further exemplifies the Group's selective 
acquisition strategy. 
 
 
The Moris mine commenced production in August 2007 and in 2008 produced 65.07 
thousand ounces of silver and 26.85 thousand ounces of gold. Hochschild is the 
mine operator and continues to explore the property which currently has reserves 
of 86.3 thousand gold equivalent ounces and resources of 129.2 thousand gold 
equivalent ounces. 
 
 
Miguel Aramburú, Chief Executive Officer of Hochschild Mining plc, commented: 
 
 
"We are delighted to have acquired full ownership of the Moris mine, our open 
pit operation in northern Mexico. This is in line with our strategy of securing 
bolt-on acquisitions and strategic investments in key mining districts. We have 
already made significant progress this year with the acquisition of 15% of Gold 
Resource Corporation and 100% of Southwestern Resources Corp. We will continue 
to pursue opportunities which we believe will deliver long term shareholder 
value."
