Peruvian Precious Metals Corp. Announces Closing of Non-Brokered Private Placement of Shares, Begins Permitting at Igor

Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Peruvian Precious Metals Corp. (the "Company"), announces that it has closed a non-brokered private placement of common shares (a “Common Share”) under the terms previously disclosed on September 2, 2014. 5,317,644 Common Shares were issued to one subscriber at a price of $0.09 per Common Share for gross proceeds of $478,587.96.

Securities issued under the private placement will be subject to a four-month hold expiring on February 8, 2015, in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the private placement to fund its share of the working capital required for an underground test mining and bulk sampling program at it’s Igor gold and silver project in northern Peru (please see Press Release dated September 2, 2014).

The Company is also pleased to announce that Proyectos Patagonia SAC (“Patagonia”) has initiated the permitting process for the Igor underground test mining and bulk sampling program. After permits are received, Patagonia anticipates that it will take between seven and ten months to develop underground mining infrastructure sufficient to allow collection of appropriate bulk samples and conduct test mining along the Callanquitas Structure. Patagonia plans to develop mine workings on three levels over a vertical range of approximately 150 metres to access different areas within the Callanquitas Structure where previous drilling has defined Inferred gold and silver resources (please see Technical Report as amended on September 27, 2013 entitled “Technical Report on the Callanquitas Structure, Igor Mine Project, Northern Peru, South America”, available on the Company’s web site or SEDAR). Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the mineral resource will be converted into mineral reserves.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, unless an exemption from such registration is available.
