MAG Silver Corp. (TSX NYSE American: MAG) ("MAG" or "MAG Silver") reports production from Juanicipio (56% 44% Fresnillo plc ("Fresnillo") and MAG, respectively) for the first quarter ("Q1") ended March 31, 2024.
Q1 Highlights
Southern Silver Exploration Corp. (TSXV: SSV) ("Southern Silver" and the "Company") reports that drilling has started on a 4,000-metre diamond drilling program on its wholly owned Oro property, located in southwestern New Mexico, USA.
The six-hole program will test several copper porphyry and skarn targets which form part of a large, well-zoned Laramide-age mineral system consisting of a ring of Carbonate Replacement Deposits (CRDs) around a core of an intensely sericite-pyrite altered lithocap overlying an unexposed porphyry center. Several sediment-host gold targets have been identified well outboard of the main porphyry center.
Drilling will first test three porphyry copper targets (targets A, B and E; see Figure 1) and then transition to three copper-skarn targets (targets F, H and D) in the southern part of the property and is anticipated to take approximately eight to twelve weeks to complete.
Figure 1: Selected Drill Targets (A-H) on the Oro Project
The Oro Project is a large district play that Southern has systematically consolidated, expanded and explored since initial acquisition in late 2005. Current drill targeting is based upon 3D modelling of data generated by geologic mapping, historic drill holes, geochemical zoning studies, alteration clay zoning studies, and geophysical surveys through this large zoned porphyry-system. The current program follows initial diamond drilling in 2010-11 which targeted several skarn and CRD targets and two phases of RC drilling which targeted the Stockpond gold target in 2016-17.

El Sol Claim
The company also reports that it has completed the final payment to Monarca Minerals Inc., acquiring a 100% interest in the El Sol mineral claim, Cerro Las Minitas Project, Durango, Mexico.
Acquisition cost was $US 300,000 payable in three equal instalments with a 2% NSR on production from the claim with a right in Southern Silver to purchase the royalty at any time for US$1,000,000.
The El Sol claim is largely gravel covered, 63ha in size and is located on the northwestern boundary of the Bocona block of claims and adjacent to the Area of the Cerro which hosts the six mineral deposits currently identified by Southern Silver on the Cerro Las Minitas claim package.
Previously reported highlights from the El Sol claim include (see NR-02-22; January 25, 2022) include:
Drill hole 21SOL-003 is one of five holes drilled in the Autumn of 2021 to test a series of targets defined by surface mapping, rock and soil sampling and proximity to artisanal workings. The highlight interval intersected down-dip of historic workings located on a northeast-southwest trending structure which has been traced on surface for up to 300 metres laterally before plunging under gravel cover. Three further holes (22Sol-006, to -008) were completed on the concession in January 2022. Assays from these holes are pending with results anticipated in the coming weeks.

2023 was a relatively lackluster year, silver largely traded on volatility between US$22 and US$25 per ounce.
The white metal started 2024 with less volatility and remained rangebound for the first eight weeks. Silver dropped to US$22.08 per ounce on January 21, marking its quarterly low.
Silver started seeing gains in March with the expectation that the US Federal Reserve was getting closer to lowering interest rates. Improving sentiment gave the precious metals markets momentum, causing silver to reach its quarterly high of US$25.62 on March 20, before continuing on to an 11 year high of US$29.26 on April 12.
Silver started to see gains in early March as speculation over a more dovish policy from the Fed that would see cuts beginning in June added fuel to the the gold and silver markets.
These gains were reinforced by positive language following the banks March meeting that its rate policy was continuing to progress inflation towards the central bank’s target of 2 percent.
Even though it was unwilling to commit to dates, the Fed suggested it was done with rate hikes and it was expecting to make three cuts to its benchmark rate in 2024.
Silver price, Q1 2024.
Chart via Trading Economics.
While gold captured attention as it set record prices in March and April, silver has produced better returns for investors. In an April 9 email to the Investing News Network (INN), Peter Krauth, editor of Silver Stock Investor and author of "The Great Silver Bull," commented on the white metal's performance during the quarter.
“Silver also typically lags gold, then catches up and surpasses it. We’re starting to see that happen in spades right now. Since the end of February, gold is up about 15 percent, while silver is up about 22 percent. Those are breathtaking gains in just a matter of weeks,” he said.
According to Krauth, these gains for the silver price came alongside decreasing inventories at the COMEX, London Bullion Market Association and the Shanghai Gold Exchange, where stockpiles have dropped 40 percent over the past three years.
“The same has happened to silver exchange-traded funds (ETFs) globally. My view is that large silver consumers are buying long contracts and silver ETFs, then taking delivery. That helps explain why the silver price didn’t rise in the face of ongoing deficits. But these inventories are being drained, and I think there may be 12 to 24 months left before they run out,” he said.
Even with decreasing inventories, Krauth still sees silver being held back, citing its increasing role as an industrial metal and concerns over a recession in 2024 as contributing factors to it not seeing stronger gains.
The thinning inventories that contributed to silver’s price gains through Q1 have come about have been driven by the white metal’s increasing demand from industrial sectors. The biggest contributing sectors have come from the energy transition, particularly the production of photovoltaics and electric vehicles.
Krauth pointed to the Silver Institute, a top industry association, which said silver is entering into a structural deficit for a fourth consecutive year in 2024, believing these shortfalls will continue for several more years.
In its latest World Silver Survey, the Silver Institute states that in 2024 demand for the white metal is forecast to reach the second highest amount on record at 1.22 billion ounces, with industrial demand set to see a 9 percent increase to 710.9 million ounces, beating out the record set in 2023 at 654.4. million ounces.
According to the Institute's data, India has been a critical driver of demand, importing 94 million ounces of silver in the first two months of 2024, including 71 million ounces in February alone — that represents nearly an entire month of global mine production.
While the Silver Institute notes that demand for silverware and jewelry in India remains strong, it also says there is a growing industrial demand as India sees an increasing focus on infrastructure development.
To support local manufacturing, the Indian Ministry of New and Renewable Energy reimposed the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers for solar modules this past February, which limits approved solar projects in the country to use domestically produced photovoltaics.
This comes alongside the new N-type solar cells that require greater amounts of silver entering mass production in 2024.
On the supply side, the organization is predicting a decline of 1 percent in total, with 1 billion ounces being made available. In addition, it is expecting recycled quantities of silver to remain flat at 178.9 million ounces. The biggest drop is expected to come from mine production, with an estimated total of 823.5 million ounces in 2024.
This differential suggests a widening deficit of 215.3 million ounces, a year-on-year increase of 17 percent.
Silver is primarily produced as a by-product of gold, lead, zinc and copper mines, and according to the Silver Institute these accounted for 595.2 million ounces produced in 2023. Meanwhile, primary silver mines produced just 235.2 million ounces.
With a contraction in mine output forecast for 2024 and increasing industrial demand over the next several years, the Silver Institute is projecting more tightness over the next few years, meaning limited relief on the horizon from new or existing operations.
Krauth sees two standout projects set to add millions of ounces over the next year.
“There are two major primary silver projects that stand out. Endeavour Silver (TSX:EDR,NYSE:EXK) is building its Terronera project in Mexico, which will bring about 7Moz silver equivalent per year, starting at the end of this year. Then there’s Aya Gold & Silver (TSX:AYA,OTCQX:AYASF), whose Zgounder mine in Morocco is expanding production from about 1.9Moz silver to 8Moz silver, starting with its commissioning in Q2 this year,” he said.
The Silver Institute also sees supply contributions coming from Newmont’s (TSX:NGT,NYSE:NEM) Penasquito mine, which will return to full production in 2024 following strike action in 2023, Coeur Mining’s (NYSE:CDE) expansion of its Rochester mine and the onlining of Kinross Gold's (TSX:K,NYSE:KGC) Manh Choh project.
Even with these additions, the Silver Institute sees steep offsets, including the loss of 17.9 million ounces out of Peru as Hochschild Mining (OTCQX:HCHDF,LSE:HOC) has placed its Pallancata operation into care and maintenance as it waits for permits for its Royropata deposit.
Even when operations come online, the increases amount to tens of millions of ounces for an industry that requires hundreds of millions to overcome supply deficits.
Unlike gold, Krauth sees silver’s industrial applications holding a lot of upside, even though he believes the market hasn’t really come to terms with that, still largely viewing itas a precious metal. He also thinks the there is some opportunity for change on the horizon.
This past January, silver producers penned an open letter to the Canadian government urging the metals inclusion on the critical minerals list. While that decision won’t be known until May, if it is approved it would open up new funding options and a streamlined permitting system. Krauth thinks this would boost silver’s status among investors, and is something to watch for through the second quarter.
“I, along with the entire sector, will be watching closely to see whether silver makes the list or not. If it does, I think that would be a shot in the arm for silver. The broader investment community would pay more attention to silver’s significant structural supply shortages,” he said.
While its inclusion remains uncertain, Krauth is bullish on the white metal, but he also says he wouldn’t be surprised at a pullback this year.
More broadly, he thinks silver is in a sustained bull market and expects the price to continue to hold at US$28 and probably grow to US$30 in the second half of the year.
As silver sees upward momentum going into the next quarter, it may present new opportunities to investors looking for an alternative to gold, or taking advantage of the white metal’s increasing notoriety as an industrial metal.

The total capital expenditures for mine optimization and facilities improvement at the Ying Mining District are estimated at $78.7 million . For mine optimization, the Company plans to spend a total $48.1 million comprised of the following capital expenditures:
(i) | Develop 45,100 metres of ramps and tunnels for transportation and access at estimated capitalized expenditures of $27.3 million (average $605/m). The main goal of these mine optimization programs is to have ramps and a trackless system replace current shafts, and to have more mechanized mining, such as using the shrinkage mining method to gradually replace the more labor intensive "Re-Suing" mining; |
(ii) | Develop 45,800 metres of exploration tunnels at estimated capitalized costs of $17.4 million ($380/m); and |
(iii) | Drill 137,700 metres of exploration diamond drill holes for future production at an estimated capitalized cost of $3.4 million; |
For the tailing storage facilities ("TSF") and mill expansion and equipment, the Company plans to spend $30.6 million :
(i) | Complete the TSF by the 3 rd quarter of 2024 with remaining expenditures of $15.9 million; and |
(ii) | Add a 1,500 tonne per day flotation production line to the No. 2 Mill by the 4 th Quarter of 2024 at a cost of $7.2 million per signed EPCM contract, and add two XRT Ore Sorting systems for $1.7 million. The XRT Ore Sorting system will help to sort out waste rock resulting from the increased dilution rate as the Company shifts to more shrinkage mining method from the "Re-Suing" mining method. |
In addition to the capitalized tunneling and drilling work, the Ying Mining District also plans to complete and expense 37,800 metres of mining preparation tunnels and 117,300 metres of diamond drilling.
For the GC Mine, the Company plans to: i) complete and capitalize 8,000 metres of transportation ramps and mining development tunnels at estimated costs of $4.5 million ( $562 /m); ii) complete and capitalize 9,700 metres of exploration tunnels at estimated costs of $5.0 million ( $515 /m); iii) complete and capitalize 51,500 metres of diamond drilling at an estimated cost of $1.3 million ; and iv) spend $0.3 million on equipment and facilities. The total capital expenditures at the GC Mine are budgeted at $11.1 million in Fiscal 2025.
In addition to the capitalized tunneling and drilling work, the Company also plans to complete and expense 7,100 metres of mining preparation tunnels and 18,700 metres of diamond drilling at the GC Mine.
The Kuanping Project is expected to receive all permits and licenses in the third quarter of 2024, and $1.0 million of capital expenditures are budgeted for the startup of mine construction.

Industrial demand for silver rose to a new record high in 2023, coming in at 654.4 million ounces (Moz).
The surge was fueled by significant advancements in green economy sectors, particularly photovoltaics (PV), where demand skyrocketed by 64 percent year-on-year to hit 195.3 Moz, surpassing previous estimates.
PV is included in the electrical and electronics segment, which experienced demand growth of 20 percent year-on-year.
According to the Silver Institute's latest World Silver Survey, other green energy applications, such as power grid construction and automotive electrification, contributed to the overall increase in industrial demand.
“The deficit in the silver market helps to provide robust support and a strong floor for the price,” said Philip Newman, managing director at Metals Focus, which produces the annual survey. “The deficit fell by 30 percent last year, but in absolute terms — at 184.3 million ounces — it was still eye-watering. Global supply has been broadly steady at around the 1-billion-ounce mark, while industrial demand did incredibly well with 11 percent growth,” he added.
Despite an overall 7 percent decline in total silver demand to 1,195 Moz in 2023, industrial demand emerged as the standout category, offsetting losses in the physical investment, jewelry and silverware sectors.
Notably, Chinese industrial demand surged by 44 percent to 261.2 Moz, primarily driven by PV production expansion.
Silver recycling, which accounted for 18 percent of total supply in 2023, saw a modest 1 percent increase to 178.6 Moz, mainly driven by growth in the recycling of ethylene oxide catalysts.
Looking ahead, Metals Focus forecasts 2 percent growth in total silver demand for 2024, with industrial fabrication expected to reach another all-time high, driven by a projected 20 percent gain in the PV market.
However, physical investment in silver bars and coins is anticipated to contract by 13 percent.
In terms of global mine production, Metals Focus notes that in 2023 it witnessed a slight decrease of 1 percent to 830.5 Moz. This fall was influenced by the four month suspension of operations at Newmont’s (TSX:NGT,NYSE:NEM) Peñasquito mine in Mexico due to strike action among workers.
Additionally, lower ore grades and mine closures affected production in countries like Argentina, Australia and Russia. However, increased supply from Chile and Bolivia partially offset these losses.
The report forecasts a marginal 0.8 percent decline in global silver mine production to 823.5 Moz in 2024. Recovery is anticipated in Mexico as Peñasquito resumes full production post-strike action.
Expansions and new projects in the US, Morocco and elsewhere are expected to contribute to supply growth.
Offsetting these increases, a significant drop in production is expected in Peru due to operational issues, while China is anticipated to experience a decline in silver by-product supply alongside decreasing lead and zinc production.
Silver recycling, which hit a 10 year high in 2023, is forecast to remain nearly flat in 2024. Industrial scrap is expected to grow, driven by factors like higher receipts from ethylene oxide recycling. However, declines in other segments such as jewelry and silverware scrap, along with a further decrease in photographic scrap, are likely to offset these gains.
Overall, silver supply is seen coming in at 1,010.7 Moz in 2023 versus 1,015.4 Moz in 2022.
Overall, the silver market is expected to witness another substantial deficit in 2024, amounting to 215.3 Moz. According to Metals Focus, that would be the second highest in over 20 years.
While near-term price weakness remains a possibility for silver due to speculative inflows into gold and short-term downside risks, the outlook for the second half of the year is positive, driven by expectations of looser US monetary policy and sustained investor interest in precious metals.
