PME Sentry Select Primary Metals Corp

Sentry Select Primary Metals Corp. (the "Corporation") (TSX:PME), is pleased to
announce that the Corporation will commence paying a cash dividend of $0.05 per
Class A share per month. Based on the net asset value per share on August 6th,
2009 of approximately $6.41 the dividend represents a cash on cash yield of
9.36%. The first payment will be made on September 15, 2009 to shareholders of
record on August 31, 2009. As the Corporation has available tax losses, the
dividends are expected to be treated as a return of capital for tax purposes.


The decision to implement a regular monthly dividend is part of an ongoing
strategic review process being carried out by the independent members of the
Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Independent Directors"), as first
announced on April 30, 2009. As of August 10, 2009, the Corporation's Class A
share price performance was approximately 76.49% year-to-date and one-year
performance is approximately 28.5%.


The Independent Directors are continuing their review of strategic alternatives
for the Corporation with a view to maximizing shareholder value. Results of the
strategic review process will be announced as soon as practicable and, should
the Independent Directors conclude that any further action is warranted, by no
later than September 30, 2009.
