Insights

The exploration results from San Dimas represent a significant positive development for First Majestic's resource expansion strategy. The intercepts, particularly at the Perez vein and Sinaloa-Elia system, show grades substantially above the industry average for silver-gold deposits, with some intersections exceeding 1,000 g/t silver equivalent.

The successful conversion of Inferred to Indicated Resources carries three key implications:

  • Enhanced mine planning reliability for 2025-2026 operations, reducing operational risk
  • Potential for improved grade control and optimized production scheduling
  • Strengthened reserve replacement pipeline, important for maintaining the mine's life

The exploration success at historic veins like Jessica East suggests untapped potential within the district. With approximately 113,000 meters of drilling completed, the program's scope indicates a systematic approach to resource expansion. The mineralization remaining open in multiple directions points to further upside potential.

From a financial perspective, these high-grade intercepts could positively impact the operation's cost profile. The presence of bonanza grades (>1,000 g/t Ag) typically correlates with improved mining economics through reduced processing costs per ounce and potential for selective high-grade mining campaigns.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 23, 2025) - First Majestic Silver Corp. (NYSE: AG) (TSX: AG) (FSE: FMV) (the "Company" or "First Majestic") is pleased to announce positive drilling results from its comprehensive 2024 exploration program at its San Dimas Silver and Gold Mine in Durango, Mexico. The 2024 drilling program intersected significant silver and gold mineralization in multiple veins across the San Dimas property. The drilling results successfully expanded Mineral Resources and will convert Inferred Mineral Resources to Indicated Mineral Resources, and ultimately to Mineral Reserves.

"At the beginning of the year we planned a robust exploration program at our San Dimas mine which has returned impressive results," stated Keith Neumeyer, President & CEO of First Majestic. "Our exploration teams have completed approximately 113,000 metres of drilling within the district and have intersected significant silver and gold mineralization in multiple veins. Through the process of successfully converting Inferred to Indicated Resources at the Perez and Sinaloa-Elia veins, the program derisked mineralization for mining in 2025 and 2026."

Exploration drilling of the Perez vein extended silver and gold mineralization up-dip in the west-central portion of the vein and converted Inferred to Indicated resources refining vein width and grades. This process derisked mineralization that will be mined during 2025 and 2026. The Perez vein potential remains open to the east and to the west (Figure 2). Select drill hole assay grades and true width intervals of the Perez vein intersections are highlighted below:

  • PE24_397: 10.03 g/t Au and 1,996 g/t Ag over 3.65 m;

  • PE24_343: 6.28 g/t Au and 1,001 g/t Ag over 2.30 m;

  • PE23_328: 3.66 g/t Au and 485 g/t Ag over 3.14 m;

  • PE24_346: 2.00 g/t Au and 309 g/t Ag over 5.06 m.

At the historic Sinaloa-Elia vein system located in the western portion of the property, drilling intersected several intervals of silver and gold mineralization. Resource conversion drilling confirmed and further delineated mineralization below the Sinaloa vein with several intersections returning better than expected values. Results also reveal that the mineralization is open to the west for potential Mineral Resource expansion. Follow-up expansionary drilling below historic mine excavations at Elia confirmed the presence of down-dip extension potential with some results initially reported in June 2024 (Figure 3). Select drill hole assay grades and true width intervals of the Sinaloa-Elia vein system intersections are highlighted below:

  • SIN24_120: 23.33 g/t Au and 1,045 g/t Ag over 1.31 m;

  • SIN24_106: 6.61 g/t Au and 501 g/t Ag over 2.97 m;

  • SIN24_109: 10.91 g/t Au and 796 g/t Ag over 1.69 m;

  • SIN24_103: 8.31 g/t Au and 507 g/t Ag over 1.64 m;

  • EL24_280: 2.52 g/t Au and 182 g/t Ag over 1.26m.

Expansionary drilling of the Santa Teresa vein has returned significant intercepts both in eastern and western unexplored projection of the vein. Drilling followed up on results reported in June 2024 and confirmed vein continuity and silver and gold mineralization; there is, to the west, approximately 1 kilometres of strike length of open potential (Figure 4). Select drill hole assay grades and true width intervals of the Santa Teresa vein intersections are highlighted below:

  • ST24_067: 10.02 g/t Au and 359 g/t Ag over 3.41 m;

  • ST24_051: 3.11 g/t Au and 166 g/t Ag over 5.86 m;

  • ST24_065: 13.53 g/t Au and 211 g/t Ag over 1.69 m.

A review of exploration upside on major past producing veins has identified multiple targets and opportunities for further mineral resource expansion along strike and up and down-dip. Initial drilling on the eastern projection of the Jessica vein (one of the historic top 5 past producing veins in the district) has intersected veins and returned two encouraging results separated by ~250 m; drilling continues to test the area (Figure 5).

  • SJE24_480: 2.22 g/t Au and 422 g/t Ag over 0.75 m;

  • SJE24_479: 2.27 g/t Au and 223 g/t Ag over 0.78 m.

Notes:

  1. All holes are Diamond Drill; AgEq grade = silver grade (g/t) + [gold grade (g/t)*80].
  2. From and Length indicated in metres, true width of the intercept is calculated per drill hole and vein angles.
  3. See Appendix for details regarding drill hole locations, sample type, azimuth, dip and total depth.
  4. Where present, single samples or intercepts with assay results higher than 700 g/t AgEq are highlighted as "Include" in each intercept.

At San Dimas, silver and gold drill hole intercepts were composited using the length weighted averages of uncapped sample assays, a 215 g/t AgEq minimum grade, and a minimum composite length of 0.7 m (true width). A maximum one metre below the minimum grade was allowed as internal dilution and a single sample below the minimum but above 100 g/t AgEq was allowed in the hanging or footwall to achieve minimum true width in select cases. True width of intercepts is calculated based on current understanding of drill hole and vein angle geometry. All individual samples or intercepts higher than 700 g/t AgEq are reported as "include".

First Majestic's drilling programs follow established QA/QC insertion protocols with standards, blanks and duplicates introduced to the sample stream and submission of check duplicates to an independent third-party laboratory. After geological logging, all drill core samples are cut in half. One half of the core is submitted to the laboratory for analysis and the remaining half is retained on-site for verification and reference purposes.

Core samples were submitted to First Majestic's owned and operated Central Laboratory (ISO 9001:2015).

At the Central Lab, gold is analyzed by fire assay with atomic absorption finish (Au-AA13), and by fire assay gravimetric finish (ASAG-13-Au, ASAG-15-Au). Results above 10 g/t gold are analyzed by 30 g fire assay gravimetric finish (ASAG-14). Silver is analyzed by 3-Acid digest atomic absorption finish (AAG-13) or by 30 g fire assay gravimetric finish (ASAG-13-Ag). Results above 200 g/t silver are analyzed by 30 g fire assay gravimetric finish (ASAG-14).
