Hochschild Mining plc

("the Company")

Result of AGM

20 May 2016

The Company announces the results detailed below of the poll taken at the Annual General Meeting held earlier today.

The Company notes the level of votes against the 2015 Remuneration Report which, through shareholder engagement, appears to be in response to (a) the base salary increases awarded to the CEO during 2015 and (b) the calculation of the CEO's 2015 annual bonus with reference to his year-end salary.

The Remuneration Committee acknowledges the specific views expressed by shareholders which will be taken into account as part of a review of the Company's framework of executive remuneration. The Committee also intends to consult its significant shareholders as part of this review.

Copy of Resolutions

A copy of the resolutions passed as Special Business at the Annual General Meeting is being submitted to the UK Listing Authority and will shortly be available for inspection at the National Storage Mechanism document viewing facility at: http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/nsm
