Item 8.01  Other Events

From November 27 through November 29, Keith R. Hulley, a director and retired President and Chief Executive Officer of Apex Silver Mines Limited, exercised options to purchase an aggregate of 44,300 of the Company’s ordinary shares and sold the shares thus acquired.

The options were granted to Mr. Hulley by Apex Silver pursuant to the Company’s Employees’ Share Ownership Plan (the predecessor to its current 2004 Equity Incentive Plan) between 2000 and 2002 as compensation for his service as an officer of the Company.

Mr. Hulley informed Apex Silver that he exercised the options because they would otherwise have expired on January 2, 2007.  Mr. Hulley holds in-the-money options to acquire an additional 89,200 ordinary shares that are scheduled to expire on January 2, 2007.  The options were acquired between 1999 and 2002.  Mr. Hulley has informed Apex Silver of his intention to exercise these options on or before December 31, 2006 and to sell the shares thus acquired.
