MAG Silver Announces Planned Retirement of CXO

MAG Silver Corp. (TSX NYSE American: MAG) ("MAG", or the " Company ") announces the planned retirement of Co-Founder and Chief Exploration Officer (" CXO "), Dr. Peter Megaw, effective May 21, 2024. Peter has been an integral part of MAG Silver's success, applying over 45 years of relevant experience to our silver and gold exploration efforts, with the past ten years dedicated to serving as MAG's CXO.

Peter's retirement marks the culmination of over 20 years of dedicated service to MAG. Under his leadership, Juanicipio, one of the world's leading silver deposits, was discovered, financed, developed and is now in operation. Beyond the discovery of Juanicipio, as Co-Founder, Peter played an integral role in the development of the Company including its IPO, seven years of service on the Board, its acquisition of strategic exploration properties in prolific jurisdictions and its growth into the substantial silver producer it is today. Peter will continue as a consultant to the Company following his retirement from executive duties at MAG.

"On behalf of MAG, I would like to extend heartfelt thanks to Peter for his tireless efforts and leadership," said George Paspalas, President and CEO of MAG. "While he is retiring from executive duties, we will continue to benefit from his wisdom and expertise in his ongoing consulting role. Peter's vision as a founder, passion for geology, commitment to excellence, and dedication to our projects have left an indelible mark on MAG Silver."

In his new role as a consultant, Peter will provide strategic guidance and insight to MAG's management team, drawing upon his extensive experience in Juanicipio's geology as well as advancing the hub-and-spoke thesis at the Deer Trail property in Utah.

"It has been a privilege to have had a hand in MAG's remarkable journey over the last two decades and a great honor to collaborate with a brilliant group of colleagues over that time. Working with Dan MacInnis and George Paspalas, CEOs who really get exploration, has made all the difference for me…and MAG," said Peter Megaw, outgoing CXO of MAG. "As I segue into a more relaxed lifestyle of writing, family and mineralogy, I look forward to continuing to contribute to MAG's ongoing success by supporting her exploration team as they advance the enviable portfolio of assets we've assembled. MAG has a bright future and I am excited to remain involved in shaping her trajectory."

How to Invest in Silver: Buying Bullion, Stocks and More

For investors wondering how to invest in silver, this guide covers the basics of the top options for silver investing: buying silver bullion, silver stocks, silver ETFs and silver futures.

Silver has long been an attractive vehicle not only for storing wealth, but for generating it too. Silver bugs rave about the growth opportunities to be had in a price rally. However, what goes up must come down, and the silver market is prone to deep dives, providing buying opportunities.

Investing in silver and gold is similar, but the nuances of both merit learning about them individually. Silver often trades similarly to fellow precious metal gold, meaning its significantly lower price point offers investors a more affordable method for hedging against volatility. Silver also has growing industrial demand from clean energy and electrification sectors.

Check out our beginner's guide to silver investing below, including links to in-depth guides and silver stock and ETF lists for when you're ready to go deeper.
