VANCOUVER, April 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. (TSX: FVI) (Lima Stock Exchange: FVI) is pleased to announce production figures for the first quarter of 2011 from the Caylloma Mine located in Arequipa, Peru. Fortuna's production guidance for 2011 is 2.4 million ounces of silver, 7,530 ounces of gold, 25.2 million pounds of zinc, 16.6 million pounds of lead and 760,000 pounds of copper.

First Quarter Highlights

-- Silver production of 437,123 ounces; 8.9% decrease over Q1 2010
-- Lead production of 5,045,582 pounds; 14.8% decrease over Q1
2010
-- Zinc production of 5,744,798 pounds; 16.4% decrease over Q1
2010
-- Cash cost per silver ounce, net of by-product credits, estimate
of negative US$4.52

The drop in silver production for the quarter is explained by lower mill throughput, related to power outages as a result of unusual winter conditions, and to two percentage points lower than expected metallurgical recoveries associated with sourcing approximately 20% of production from mixed sulfide-oxide ore from level six of Animas vein. Management does not anticipate climatic conditions to continue affecting production into the second quarter.
