Inmaculada Permit Update

Hochschild Mining PLC   ("Hochschild" or the "Company") (LSE: HOC) (OTCQX: HCHDF) confirms that the permitting process for Inmaculada's Modified Environment Impact Assessment ("MEIA") continues and that the Company's revised expectation is a decision by the Peruvian government during Q2 2023. 

The Company believes that the outcome of the permitting process will be positive.  However, failure to secure approval of the MEIA would result in a suspension of operations at Inmaculada during H2 2023 until a new MEIA is approved. The specific date of suspension will depend on a number of operational factors.

Further updates on the status of the permitting process will be provided as appropriate.
