“We are very encouraged with the exploration results that have been achieved throughout 2023,” stated Keith Neumeyer, President & CEO of First Majestic. “The recent drilling has accomplished multiple goals from highlighting new geologically prospective areas to expanding and further defining known silver and gold mineralization. These results provide the basis for First Majestic’s year-end update of Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates expected to be released at the end of March. At San Dimas, we have tested previously undrilled veins like the Peggy vein and have explored extensions of known mineralization such as the Perez, Santa Teresa and Rosario veins. At Santa Elena, infill drilling of the Ermitaño vein intersected mineralization that is in many cases better than expected while follow up drilling of the new Javelin target at Jerritt Canyon has identified what appears to be a new gold mineralized zone near underground infrastructure and continues to highlight the exploration potential of the asset. These results set us up well for an exciting start for 2024.”.
