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."

Missing Silver Bars Bring Mining Community Together

As miners, delegates and industry insiders dispersed after the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada convention (PDAC), news circulated on X, formerly Twitter, that two 10 ounce bars of silver were missing.
