Sentry Select Primary Metals Corp. (TSX:PME) announces a change to its monthly cash dividend

The Board of Directors (the "Board") of Sentry Select Primary Metals Corp. (the "Corporation") (TSX:PME) announces that the Corporation's monthly cash dividend will be changed from its current rate of $0.09 per Class A share to $0.045 per Class A share. This change will be effective beginning with the monthly cash dividend payable on August 15, 2013, to shareholders of record on July 31, 2013, and will remain at this level until further guidance is provided by the Corporation.

The Board believes that this dividend decrease is prudent and in the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders given the current environment for gold mining equities. It is the view of Sentry Investments Inc. ("Sentry"), the manager of the Corporation, that gold mining equities continue to trade at their lowest valuations relative to the gold price in 25 years and, as a result, present an excellent investment opportunity. It is the opinion of the Board that this dividend decrease should improve shareholders' potential total return by maintaining capital in the Corporation while continuing to provide a reasonable level of monthly cash payout.

It is the intention of the Board, together with Sentry, to reevaluate from time to time the Corporation's monthly dividend in the context of portfolio return expectations and to make further changes to the Corporation's monthly dividend amount when it is believed that such changes represent a net benefit to shareholders.
