Key Terms

mineral resources, inferred mineral resources, cut-off grade, carlin-style, +4 more
8 terms
mineral resources technical
"potential for expanding gold Mineral Resources at Jerritt Canyon"
Mineral resources are naturally occurring concentrations of metals or other valuable materials in the earth that could be mined and sold, like pockets of useful ingredients inside a giant pantry. For investors they show the raw-material potential behind a mining project: bigger or higher-quality resources can mean more future revenue, while the cost, technical difficulty and regulatory hurdles determine how much of that value can actually be realized.
inferred mineral resources technical
"beyond the boundaries of existing Inferred Mineral Resources along"
An inferred mineral resource is an estimate of the quantity and grade of minerals in the ground based on limited sampling and geological information, where confidence is low and continuity is uncertain. For investors it signals potential value but also higher risk—like a rough sketch of a hidden treasure that requires much more exploration and testing before you can reliably judge its size or economic worth.
cut-off grade technical
"a gold ("Au") cut-off grade of 1.13 g/t"
The cut-off grade is the minimum concentration of a mineral in rock that makes extraction and processing economically worthwhile; material below that level is treated as waste. It sets the boundary between ore and waste and directly affects reported reserves, projected mine life, and expected profits. Think of it like deciding which fruit on a tree is worth picking after accounting for the time and cost to harvest — raising or lowering that threshold can change how much “good” product a project appears to have.
carlin-style medical
"stratigraphically bound Carlin-style mineralization"
A carlin-style deposit is a type of gold-bearing rock formation where extremely fine, invisible grains of gold are spread through sedimentary rock rather than concentrated in veins. Think of it as a shallowly buried carpet of tiny gold specks that must be processed in large volumes to extract profit. For investors, these deposits can support long-lived, high-output mines but require heavy upfront capital, extensive drilling and specialized processing, so they carry both scale and exploration risk.
reverse circulation technical
"All holes are Reverse Circulation ("RC")."
Reverse circulation is a drilling method used in mineral exploration where rock fragments are lifted to the surface inside an inner tube while drilling, keeping samples cleaner and faster than conventional techniques. Investors care because it provides quicker, more reliable samples for estimating how much mineral or ore might be present, reduces exploration costs and drilling time, and therefore can speed up or improve the quality of resource assessments that drive project value.
quality assurance, quality control technical
"followed established Quality Assurance, Quality Control ("QA/QC") insertion"
Quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) are the systems and checks a company uses to make sure its products or services meet promised standards — QA is the planning and processes (the recipe), and QC is the testing that catches defects (the taste-test). For investors, strong QA/QC reduces the risk of recalls, regulatory fines, lost customers and reputation damage, which helps protect revenue and the company’s valuation.
fire assay technical
"Gold was analyzed by lead collection Fire Assay fusion AAS finish"
Fire assay is a laboratory process used to accurately measure the amount of precious metals, like gold or silver, in a sample of ore or material. It involves heating the sample intensely to separate the metals from other substances, much like melting and purifying metal to determine its purity. This method is important to investors because it provides precise data on the metal content, helping to assess the value of mining operations or mineral deposits.
ni 43-101 regulatory
"a "Qualified Person" as defined under National Instrument 43-101"
A Canadian regulatory standard that sets the rules for how mining and exploration companies must report mineral resources and reserves, requiring technical reports prepared or signed off by an independent, certified expert. It matters to investors because it creates a consistent, transparent “inspection report” for mining projects, making it easier to compare prospects, judge the reliability of claims, and assess geological and financial risk before investing.

Exploration drilling results underscore the potential for further Mineral Resource expansion

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 10, 2026) - First Majestic Silver Corp. (NYSE: AG) (TSX: AG) (FSE: FMV) (the "Company" or "First Majestic") is pleased to announce the results of a successful 2025 exploration program at its Jerritt Canyon Gold Mine ("Jerritt Canyon") located in Nevada, USA, including the Mahala, Javelin, and Saval targets within the Smith-SSX-Saval mining area. The Company believes these results underscore the potential for expanding gold Mineral Resources at Jerritt Canyon to include both open-pit and underground resources.

"The success of our 2025 drilling program at Jerritt Canyon reaffirms our confidence in the potential of this district," said Keith Neumeyer, CEO of First Majestic. "With the improved metal price environment, our team has expanded its focus to test both known underground targets as well as open-pit opportunities, which have yielded encouraging results. The results of the 2025 exploration program further highlight the potential for Mineral Resource growth. Jerritt Canyon hosts a significant district-scale land package of more than 30,000 hectares, and we have always believed that unlocking the district's full potential requires continued investment in exploration. The results from our 2025 drill program represent an important step toward that vision."

2025 EXPLORATION HIGHLIGHTS

In 2025, First Majestic completed an extensive drilling campaign at Jerritt Canyon totalling approximately 18,300 metres ("m") across 57 drill holes. The program was strategically designed to explore for new gold mineralized zones beneath non-favourable "cover" rocks, as well as to assess the continuity of known mineralization beyond the boundaries of existing Inferred Mineral Resources along established geological trends. Targets included areas that have deeper underground and/or near-surface open pit potential.

Given the property's history of both open pit and underground mining, the 2025 drilling results highlight the potential for Mineral Resources amenable to both mining methods: significant underground intercepts are defined by a minimum length of 4.6 m and a gold ("Au") cut-off grade of 1.13 g/t, while significant open pit intercepts require at least 9.1 m and 0.43 g/t Au cut-off grade (see footnotes in the intercept tables for further criteria).

KEY DRILLING HIGHLIGHTS

Table 1 presents a selection of drill hole intercepts with significant assay results from the 2025 drill program at Jerritt Canyon, and Figure 1 highlights the areas with significant gold drilling intercepts across the district.

Mahala to Javelin - Expansion Corridor

The Mahala and Javelin targets are situated between the Smith and SSX underground mines. See Figure 2 below identifying the Area of Interest ("AOI"). Mahala is one of the district's larger known Inferred Mineral Resource areas, and there is modeled geological continuity between Mahala and Javelin. In 2023, drilling at Javelin produced several significant intercepts including 8.76 g/t Au over 15.2 m (hole SMI-230011) and 7.44 g/t Au over 15.7 m (hole SMI-230013), as reported in 2024 (see the Company's news release dated February 7, 2024). A detailed review completed in early 2025 identified expansion potential for both targets within an area of approximately 600 m by 600 m. The review also highlighted possible increases in the interpreted thickness of the Javelin gold mineralization.

Javelin

A review of the Javelin target revealed that previous drilling, which was carried out from underground, intersected the mineralization at angles that were nearly parallel to the mineralization controls. Consequently, the true thickness of mineralization was not accurately determined, suggesting the potential for volume upside in resource estimation. The 2025 drill program tested the target from surface, allowing for drill-holes oriented at near sub-perpendicular angles to the interpreted gold mineral trend.

Drill-hole MA-25-008, the first hole completed in the program, returned geological and assay results indicating that the gold zone of interest is thicker than previously modeled. Based on these results, three additional step-out holes were completed to test lateral continuity: MA-25-009 targeted northwesterly continuity, MA-25-010 tested southerly continuity, and MA-25-011 tested southeasterly continuity. All holes, except for MA-25-010, intersected significant intervals of gold mineralization, supporting the interpreted continuity of the system. See a plan view in Figure 3 and cross section in Figure 4 below, showing the results of the program.

Mahala

The review of the Mahala target indicates that the previously defined AOI has the potential to expand along projected gold mineralized trends. The currently defined Mahala resources are modeled predominantly below the interpreted water table; however, geological modelling identified potential for mineralization to extend eastward where the stratigraphy rises above the known water table.

Two drill-holes were completed to test this expansion potential to the east toward the Javelin target and to the north. Drill-hole MA-25-017, collared approximately 200 m east of the known Mahala resource boundary, intersected broad disseminated mineralization of 47.2 m grading 2.75 g/t Au, including two separate high-grade intercepts of 24.4 m at 3.44 g/t Au and 10.7 m at 3.17 g/t Au (see Figure 5 below showing cross-section details). These results indicate that Mahala gold mineralization remains open to the east in the direction of the Javelin target.

Saval Historical Open Pit Target

An additional near-mine AOI focused on shallow mineralization in the vicinity of the historical Saval open pits. The deposit is characterized by structurally controlled, stratigraphically bound Carlin-style mineralization. See Figure 6 below showing the AOI with the location of the 2025 drill holes.

This geological setting is associated with broad, low to high-grade, sub-horizontal mineralized zones, which are amenable to near-surface open pit mining methods. A targeted review around the previously mined Saval open pits identified gaps in historical drilling coverage along interpreted mineralized trends.

The 2025 drill program tested the potential for near-surface mineralization within these open trends and evaluated opportunities for expansion adjacent to the historical workings. Several drill-holes completed at the West Saval Historical Open Pit AOI intersected shallow, broad intervals of lower-grade gold mineralization.

At the East Saval Historical Open Pit AOI, drill-hole SC-25-003 intersected a significant interval of 51.8 m grading 1.48 g/t Au, including a higher-grade intercept of 12.2 m at 3.23 g/t Au. The geological continuity of this intercept remains uncertain at this stage. Mineralization may represent a linkage to the underground SSX Gridiron target, or alternatively, an eastward extension of the Saval mineralized trend. See Figure 7 below for a cross section of the results. Further drilling will be required to better constrain the geometry and continuity of this zone.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains "forward‐looking information" and "forward-looking statements" under applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws (collectively, "forward‐looking statements"). These statements relate to future events or the Company's future performance, business prospects or opportunities that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management made in light of management's experience and perception of historical trends. Forward-looking statements in this news release include but are not limited to statements with respect to: the potential to expand Mineral Resources at Jerritt Canyon; and the potential to develop open-pit Mineral Resources in addition to underground Mineral Resources. Assumptions may prove to be incorrect and actual results and future events may differ materially from those anticipated. As such, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon forward-looking statements as there can be no assurance that the plans, assumptions, or expectations upon which they are placed will occur. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as "seek", "anticipate", "plan", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "may", "will", "project", "predict", "forecast", "potential", "target", "intend", "could", "might", "should", "believe" and similar expressions) are not statements of historical fact and may be "forward‐looking statements". Statements concerning Mineral Resource estimates may also be deemed to constitute forward-looking statements to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered as and if the property is developed, and in the case of Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources, such statements reflect the conclusion based on certain assumptions that the mineral deposit can be economically exploited.

Actual results may vary from forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to materially differ from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: material adverse changes; general economic conditions including inflation risks; labour relations; relations with local communities; changes in national or local governments; exchange rate fluctuations; environmental risks; requirements for additional capital; outcomes of pending litigation; unexpected changes in laws, rules or regulations, or their enforcement by applicable authorities; the failure of parties to contracts with the company to perform as agreed; social or labour unrest; changes in commodity prices; and the failure of exploration programs or studies to deliver anticipated results or results that would justify and support continued exploration, studies, development or operations as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled "Description of Business - Risk Factors" in the Company's most recent Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities under the Company's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca and in the Company's Annual Report on Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated, or intended.

The Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward‐looking statements are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward‐looking statements included herein should not be unduly relied upon. These statements speak only as of the date hereof. The Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable laws.

FAQ

What did First Majestic (AG) announce about the 2025 Jerritt Canyon drilling results?

They announced results from a ~18,300 m, 57‑hole 2025 program showing multiple significant gold intercepts. According to the company, the campaign highlighted expansion potential at Mahala–Javelin and near‑surface targets at Saval, supporting both open‑pit and underground resource potential.

How much drilling did First Majestic complete at Jerritt Canyon in 2025 (AG)?

The company completed approximately 18,300 metres across 57 drill holes in 2025. According to the company, the program targeted buried mineralization and tested continuity beyond existing inferred resources across multiple district targets.

What were the top assay highlights from First Majestic's (AG) 2025 Jerritt Canyon program?

Top highlights include 7.6 m at 9.43 g/t Au (MA-25-008) and 24.4 m at 3.43 g/t Au (MA-25-017). According to the company, these intercepts signal both high‑grade shoots and broader mineralized zones warranting follow‑up drilling.

Do the 2025 Jerritt Canyon results (AG) indicate a resource increase is confirmed?

No confirmed resource increase has been declared; results indicate potential for expansion but remain exploratory. According to the company, further drilling and modelling are required before any Mineral Resource updates can be reported.

What are First Majestic's next steps for Jerritt Canyon after the 2025 drill results (AG)?

The company plans follow‑up drilling and geological modeling to constrain continuity and true widths of zones. According to the company, additional work will focus on step‑outs, infill tests, and studies to assess open‑pit and underground amenability before resource revisions.
