"Fortuna's addition to the S&P/TSX Composite caps a year of transformation for the Company," said Jorge A. Ganoza, Fortuna President, CEO and co-founder. "As a new addition to the Index, Fortuna's management is looking forward to the heightened visibility and exposure that it brings to its constituent companies. With the opening of our San Jose mine in Mexico this fall adding to existing production from the Caylloma mine, our silver production has increased substantially and will continue to increase during
2012 providing our shareholders with growing exposure to the metal."

Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains forward-looking statements which
constitute "forward-looking information" within the meaning
of applicable Canadian securities legislation and
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe
harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements
that are not historical facts and that are subject to a
variety of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual
events or results to differ materially from those reflected
in the forward-looking statements. When used in this
document, the words such as "anticipates", "believes",
"plans", "estimates", "expects", "forecasts", "targets",
"intends", "advance", "projects", "calculates" and
similar expressions are forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements are based on an assumed set of
economic conditions and courses of actions, including
estimates of future production levels, expectations regarding
mine production costs, expected trends in mineral prices and
statements that describe Fortuna's future plans, objectives
or goals. There is a significant risk that actual results
will vary, perhaps materially, from results projected
depending on such factors as changes in general economic
conditions and financial markets, changes in prices for
silver and other metals, technological and operational
hazards in Fortuna's mining and mine development activities,
risks inherent in mineral exploration, uncertainties inherent
in the estimation of mineral reserves, mineral resources, and
metal recoveries, the timing and availability of financing,
governmental and other approvals, political unrest or
instability in countries where Fortuna is active, labor
relations and other risk factors.
Although Fortuna has attempted to identify important factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those contained in forward-looking statements or information,
there may be other factors that cause results to be
materially different from those anticipated, described,
estimated, assessed or intended. There can be no assurance
that any forward-looking statements or information will prove
to be accurate as actual results and future events could
differ materially from those anticipated in such statements
or information. Accordingly, readers should not place undue
reliance on forward-looking statements or information.
