Apogee Silver Ltd. ("Apogee" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:APE) announces that
the Company received US$233,000 representing approximately 85% of the gross
proceeds for the delivery of 21 dry tonnes ("DMT") of lead-silver and 160 DMT of
zinc-silver concentrates, following further successful custom milling and
bulk-scale flotation tests undertaken on mineralized material from the Pulacayo
Project in March 2013. The concentrate was sold to Consorcio Minero S.A.
(Cormin), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Trafigura Group. The outstanding
balance of payment is expected in approximately four months once final analysis
of the concentrates is completed. Further details provided below.


The Company's lead-silver concentrate was produced under a custom milling
contract at the cooperative Fedecomin concentrator in Potosi department, Bolivia
during February and March 2013. Fedecomin is one of several concentrators being
used in the area for custom toll milling and bulk-scale test work of mineralized
material from Pulacayo. Milling has also been taking place at the Tatasi
concentrator. The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of concentrates
are net of shipping costs. As per the statutory requirements in Bolivia, metal
export royalties are paid in advance (6% for silver and 5% for lead). NSR
royalties related to the underlying agreements of the property (1.5% to the
Pulacayo Cooperative and 2.5% to the Corporation Minera de Boliva (COMIBOL)) are
payable once final analysis and payment is made by Cormin. Preliminary tonnages
and concentrate grades for the material shipped are provided in Table 1.
