Sierra Madre Adds Second Drill Rig at the Tepic Project, Nayarit, Mexico

VANCOUVER, March 3, 2022 - Sierra Madre Gold and Silver Ltd. (TSXV:SM)(OTCQB:SMDRF) ("Sierra Madre" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that a second core rig has been mobilized to its Tepic Silver Gold Project, located in Nayarit, Mexico. This second rig is smaller and more portable than the first while maintaining the depth capacity and large core diameter that the Company requires. The decision to mobilize a second rig is a result of the success of the trenching program which has identified several additional drill targets and the superior assay turnaround time at the current laboratory.

The new rig will focus on newly identified targets in undrilled areas within the Tepic land package. The areas of Taunas and Astassi are located multiple kilometers away from the Central area, which contains all previous drilling. Once complete, the rig will then move to the company's La Tigra Gold Silver project for the Phase 1 drilling program.
