First Majestic Reports High-Grade Exploration Results at San Dimas, Santa Elena and Jerritt Canyon

First Majestic Silver Corp. (NYSE: AG) (TSX: FR) (the "Company" or "First Majestic") is pleased to announce positive drilling results from its ongoing exploration programs at San Dimas, Santa Elena, and Jerritt Canyon. The ongoing exploration programs were designed to focus on adding new mineral resources ("Resources"), upgrading Resources to mineral reserves ("Reserves"), and further defining mineralization near current underground infrastructure. In the first half of 2023, the Company had up to 19 active drill rigs and completed a total of 78,973 metres of exploration drilling across its portfolio of mines and projects in Mexico and the United States.

"We are very encouraged with the high-grade exploration results that have been achieved to date," stated Keith Neumeyer, President & CEO of First Majestic. "The recent drilling has accomplished multiple goals from confirming new geologically prospective areas to achieving strong intercepts for Resource to Reserve conversion. Results from the Elia and Santa Teresa veins at San Dimas highlight the potential to add new, high-grade ounces within this past-producing area. At Santa Elena, the results from the Ermitaño vein are in many cases better than expected and will provide a solid foundation for Reserve replacement. Finally, successful drilling at the Javelin target at Jerritt Canyon has identified what appears to be another large, mineralized gold pod near underground infrastructure and further showcases the strong exploration potential in the asset."

Drilling at the historic Sinaloa North-Elia mines cut multiple gold and silver mineralized intercepts. The drill holes confirmed the presence of mineralization below zones of historic mining at the Sinaloa vein and extended the Elia vein east approximately 175 meters away from historic mine stopes (Figure 2). Select drill hole assay grade and intervals (true width) of the vein intersections below:

  • SIN23-059: 5.84 g/t Au and 396 g/t Ag (864 g/t AgEq) over 0.98m,
  • SIN23-066: 6.33 g/t Au and 291 g/t Ag (798 g/t AgEq) over 1.15m,
  • EL23-246: 8.38 g/t Au and 763 g/t Ag (1,434 g/t AgEq) over 3.88m,
  • EL23-248: 2.84 g/t Au and 133 g/t Ag (360 g/t AgEq) over 0.82m

Expansionary drilling on the projection of the historic Santa Teresa vein has returned encouraging results ~110m to the east of historic mining. The vein remains open to the east and west (Figure 3). The assay grade and the true width of the vein mineralization is:

  • ST23-012: 14.98 g/t Au and 89 g/t Ag (1,287 g/t AgEq) over 4.12m

Expansionary drilling of the Perez vein tested the extension of the vein approximately 300m east of the current Inferred mineral resources. The vein in the area appears disrupted by post mineral faulting but multiple gold and silver intercepts were reported and identify a new mineralized shoot. Drill holes also cut gold and silver mineralization in the hanging wall and foot wall secondary veins. The Perez vein potential remains open to the east where it projects into an area where post-mineral faulting is anticipated to decrease (Figure 4). Select drill hole assay grade and intervals (true width) of the vein intersections.

  • PE23-187: 5.41 g/t Au and 883 g/t Ag (1,315 g/t AgEq) over 5.69m,
  • PE23-191: 1.21 g/t Au and 205 g/t Ag (302 g/t AgEq) over 0.84m,
  • PE23-206: 4.58 g/t Au and 740 g/t Ag (1,106 g/t AgEq) over 3.05m

SANTA ELENA EXPLORATION RESULTS

A delineation drill program designed to convert Inferred to Indicated mineral resource estimates at the Ermitaño mine cut multiple intersections of gold and silver mineralization (Figure 5). The drilling program was intended to replace Reserve estimates depleted by mining. In addition to intercepts in the Ermitaño vein, multiple holes intersected mineralization in secondary veins located in the hanging and footwall of the Ermitaño vein. Select drill hole assay grade and true width from the intersections include:

  • EW-23-339: 3.39 g/t Au & 56 g/t Ag (327 g/t AgEq) over 1.96m,
  • EW-23-352: 2.09 g/t Au & 134 g/t Ag (301 g/t AgEq) over 3.85m,
  • EWUG-23-001: 4.27 g/t Au & 127 g/t Ag (468 g/t AgEq) over 13.3m,
  • EWUG-23-002: 5.98 g/t Au & 222 g/t Ag over (700 g/t AgEq) 15.55m,
  • EWUG-23-003: 13.73 g/t Au & 150 g/t Ag (1,248 g/t AgEq) over 6.42m

Two drill holes were completed between the Smith and SSX mines and south of the mine connection drift at the new Javelin target. The drill hole gold intercepts were located between 90m and 340m away from existing mine development, geometry and controls of the gold mineralization are interpreted to trend at a relatively low angle to the drill hole intersections, gold mineralization is open in multiple directions as depicted in Figures 7 and Figure 8.

  • SMI-D04-EXP22-1094:
  • 3.52 g/t Au over 8.2m,
  • 3.46 g/t Au over 5.6m,
  • 5.61 g/t Au over 61.2m
  • SMI-230010
  • 8.04 g/t Au over 12.2m,
  • 4.60 g/t Au over 12.2m

Drilling in Smith Zone 2A also returned multiple gold mineralized intercepts. Results from holes SMI-0007 and SMI-0008 intersected gold mineralization approximately 110m away from existing mine development as highlight below. The geometry and controls of the gold mineralization is interpreted to trend at a relatively low angle to the drill hole intersections as shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10.

  • SMI-23007: 3.67 g/t Au over 30.3m,
  • SMI-23008: 4.82 g/t Au over 10.4m

All holes are Diamond Drill;
From, To and Length indicated in meters, true thickness of the mineralized zones are unknown at this time. All results >15gpt Au are reported as "includes."

Gold and silver drill hole intercepts at San Dimas were composited using the length weighted average of uncapped sample assays, a 190 g/t AgEq minimum grade, and a minimum composite length of 0.7m (true width). A maximum one meter below the minimum grade was allowed as internal dilution. 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. The true width of intercepts is calculated based on current understanding of drillhole and vein angle geometry.

Gold and silver drill hole intercepts at Ermitaño were composited using the length weighted averages of uncapped sample assays, a 190 g/t AgEq minimum grade, and a minimum length of 1m (true width). A maximum one meter below the minimum grade was allowed as internal dilution. The true width of intercepts is calculated based on current understanding of drillhole and vein angle geometry.

Gold drill hole intercepts at Jerritt Canyon were composited using the length weighted averages of uncapped sample assays, a 3.0 g/t Au minimum grade, and a minimum composite length of 5m. A maximum five meters below the minimum grade was allowed as internal composite dilution. True thickness of intercepts is not known at this time.

First Majestic's drilling programs follow established QA/QC insertion protocols with standards, blanks and duplicates introduced into the San Dimas, Santa Elena and Jerritt Canyon sample-stream. After geological logging, all drill core samples are cut in half. One half of the core is submitted to the designated laboratory for analysis and the remaining half core is retained on-site for verification and reference purposes.

Core samples from Jerritt Canyon drilling were submitted to Paragon Geochemical (ISO/IEC 17025:2017) or to First Majestic's Central Laboratory (ISO 9001-2015). Core samples from San Dimas and Santa Elena drilling were submitted to the Central Laboratory.

Samples submitted to Paragon Geochemical and to the Central Laboratory are dried, crushed and pulverized to 85% passing a 75 μm. At Paragon Geochemical, gold is analyzed by Au by Fire Assay -Aqua Regia Digest AAS finish (Au-AA30). Samples returning gold greater than 8 ppm are analyzed by 30 g Fire Assay gravimetric finish (Au-GR30). At the Central Laboratory, gold is analyzed by fire assay with atomic absorption finish (Au-AA13). Results above 10 g/t gold are analyzed by 20 g Fire Assay gravimetric finish (ASAG-14). Silver is analyzed by 3-Acid Digest AAS finish (AAG-13). Results above 200 g/t silver are analyzed by 20 g Fire Assay gravimetric finish (ASAG-13).

What Makes VMS Deposits Attractive Targets?

As investors well know, there is no such thing as a sure bet with the stock market. Against a backdrop of fluctuating metals prices, volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits may look more attractive than ever.

That’s thanks to their polymetallic content. Often containing copper, zinc, lead, silver and gold, VMS deposits can offer resource investors some cushion regarding the rise and fall of individual metals. If it’s a rough year for copper prices, for example, profits off zinc or gold might still help a VMS deposit company’s stock soar.

Furthermore, VMS deposits are an opportunity to buy into both the precious and base metals markets — two very different landscapes. The latter tends to be driven by commodities markets, while precious metals like gold and silver are often seen as safe-haven investments. The principle of diversification, then, seems built into a VMS deposit itself.

ASX Silver Stocks: 5 Biggest Companies in 2024

The precious metal silver is often compared to gold due to its importance in jewellery and as a safe haven investment.

However, silver has many industrial applications too, including in electronics, automobiles, medicine and photography, and, of course, silverware.

Energy transition applications are a growing demand sector for silver — the metal is valued for its conductive capacity, which makes it particularly useful in the production of photovoltaic panels.

Silver supply has tightened in recent years as industrial demand rises. This was one of several factors that helped the silver price break through the US$30 per ounce mark in May for the first time since 2013. At that time, it also broke AU$48, setting a new all time high in Australian dollars.
