announce that a technical report titled "Technical Report and Mineral
Resource Estimate for the Las Chispas Property, Sonora, Mexico" (the

of February 12, 2018, was filed today on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and is also available on SilverCrest's

Tetra Tech Canada Inc. ("Tetra Tech"), in accordance with National
Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI
43-101").
There are no material differences between the
assumptions and estimates contained in the Company's press release dated
February 26, 2018 (the "February 26 News Release") on the Las Chispas
Property and those contained in the filed Las Chispas Report.
