Insights

MAG Silver delivered exceptional Q1 results with record net income, 96% silver recovery, negative cash costs, and an attractive $0.20/share dividend, demonstrating operational excellence.

MAG Silver's Q1 2025 results showcase remarkable operational and financial performance at its 44%-owned Juanicipio mine. The company reported record net income of $28.7 million ($0.28/share) and adjusted EBITDA of $55.8 million, representing substantial year-over-year improvements.

The standout operational achievement is the record 96% silver recovery (up from 89% in Q1 2024), reflecting successful implementation of pyrite and gravimetric concentrate circuits. This technical improvement has delivered immediate value by extracting more silver from each tonne processed. The mine processed 337,017 tonnes at a silver head grade of 430 g/t, producing 4.5 million silver ounces and 6.5 million equivalent silver ounces.

Juanicipio achieved an extraordinary negative $0.91 per silver ounce sold cash cost and $2.04 all-in sustaining cost (AISC). These exceptionally low costs position the operation among the first quartile of global silver producers. The negative cash cost indicates that by-product revenues (gold, lead, zinc) more than offset the direct production costs of silver – a hallmark of an elite silver mine. The cash operating margin expanded impressively from 70% to 81%.

The full repayment of all Juanicipio loans marks a significant milestone, eliminating debt and enhancing future free cash flow. MAG received $61.5 million from Juanicipio in April 2025, comprising a $59.4 million dividend and $2.1 million in final loan repayments. The company's declared $0.20/share dividend (including an $0.18 cash flow-linked component) signals management's commitment to returning capital to shareholders while maintaining financial flexibility.

While strong metal prices (silver at $33.60/oz versus $23.73/oz in Q1 2024) contributed significantly to financial performance, the operational improvements in recovery rates, throughput, and cost management demonstrate excellence beyond favorable market conditions. With Juanicipio generating substantial free cash flow ($77.4 million in Q1) and operating at nameplate capacity, MAG appears well-positioned for sustainable profitability and continued shareholder returns.

EXPLORATION

  • Juanicipio:
    • During Q1 2025, underground infill drilling at Juanicipio totalled 6,992 metres. In 2025, drilling at Juanicipio is planned to focus on infill drilling areas of the resource expected to be mined in the near to mid-term, including Valdecañas, Anticipada, Ramal 1, Ramal 2, and Venadas veins, and the continuation of a southwardly directed program drilling off the conveyor ramp designed to test for a deep skarn target and new veins. Q1 2025 drilling assay results are pending, and regional surface drilling is expected to commence in Q2 2025.
  • Deer Trail Project, Utah4:
    • During Q1 2025, six pilot holes, targeting the highest priority targets at Deer Trail, totalling 1,783 metres of reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling were completed and cased at Deer Trail. The purpose of these six holes was to assess the feasibility of pre-collaring holes through the tough silicified and fractured quartzite rocks that have hampered historical drilling and setting up for core drilling at six of the best targets. The RC pre-collaring program has been successful in both reducing costs and increasing speed dramatically through the top 300 metres. Rock chips were sampled for the entire length of the six completed RC holes, with results pending.
    • In Q2 2025, MAG is expected to conduct passive Ambient Noise Tomography (“ANT”) 3D seismic, airborne radiometric, and magnetic surveys over the entire project area to better map geological contrasts and structures in the subsurface and allow for refined drill targeting of potential mineralization. Following these surveys, MAG will finalize targets for future drilling.

  • Larder Project, Ontario5:
    • During Q1 2025, the Larder project underwent a detailed geological synthesis of all data collected in 2024. Tasks performed include, but are not limited to, the following activities:
      • planning the approximately 25,000 metres drill campaign at the Instant Pond zone, which in 2024 returned surface grab samples of up to 32.1 g/t gold, scheduled to start in the second quarter of 2025;
      • prioritizing 2025 field targets;
      • updating geological, geophysical, structural and geochemical models;
      • permitting new zones for future exploration programs; and
      • upgrading infrastructure at the main site.

(1)Equivalent silver head grades have been calculated using the following price assumptions to translate gold, lead and zinc to “equivalent” silver head grade in 2025: $29/oz silver, $2,500/oz gold, $0.90/lb lead and $1.30/lb zinc (2024: $23/oz silver, $1,950/oz gold, $0.95/lb lead and $1.15/lb zinc).
(2)Equivalent silver ounces sold have been calculated using realized prices to translate gold, lead and zinc to “equivalent” silver ounces sold (metal quantity, multiplied by metal price, divided by silver price). Three months ended March 31, 2025 realized prices: $33.60/oz silver, $3,031.18/oz gold, $0.89/lb lead and $1.25/lb zinc (three months ended March 31, 2024 realized prices: $23.73/oz silver, $2,112.27/oz gold, $0.94/lb lead and $1.08/lb zinc).
  

During Q1 2025, a total of 347,467 tonnes of ore were mined. This represents an increase of 7% over Q1 2024. Increases in mined tonnages at Juanicipio have been driven by access to the full strike length of the deposit and the operational ramp-up of the mine towards steady state mining and milling targets. Mining rates for the quarter were 4,009 tonnes per day (“tpd”).

During Q1 2025, a total of 337,017 tonnes of ore were processed through the Juanicipio plant. The 3% increase over Q1 2024 is mainly due to approximately 3% increase in availability of the Juanicipio processing plant, currently operating at or above nameplate per operating day, during 2025.

The silver head grade and equivalent silver head grade for the ore processed in Q1 2025 were 430 g/t and 660 g/t (Q1 2024: 476 g/t and 713 g/t). The higher silver and lower base metal head grades in Q1 2024 were the result of processing ore from higher levels of the mine, characterized by elevated silver grade, compared to deeper areas in Q1 2025. Silver metallurgical recovery during Q1 2025 was 96% (Q1 2024: 89%) reflecting the commencement of commercial pyrite and gravimetric concentrate production during Q2 2024 delivering incremental silver and gold recovery paired with ongoing optimizations in the processing plant.

The following table provides a summary of the total cash costs and all-in sustaining costs (“AISC”) of Juanicipio for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024.

(1)Total cash costs, cash cost per ounce, cash cost per equivalent ounce, all-in sustaining costs, all-in sustaining cost per ounce, and all-in sustaining cost per equivalent ounce are non-IFRS measures, please see below “Non-IFRS Measures” section and section 12 of the Q1 2025 MD&A for a detailed reconciliation of these measures to the Q1 2025 Financial Statements. Equivalent silver ounces sold have been calculated using realized prices to translate gold, lead and zinc to “equivalent” silver ounces sold (metal quantity, multiplied by metal price, divided by silver price). Three months ended March 31, 2025 realized prices: $33.60/oz silver, $3,031.18/oz gold, $0.89/lb lead and $1.25/lb zinc (three months ended March 31, 2024 realized prices: $23.73/oz silver, $2,112.27/oz gold, $0.92/lb lead and $1.08/lb zinc).


The cash cost per silver ounce sold1 and cash cost per equivalent silver ounce sold1 for the three months ending March 31, 2025 were negative $0.91/oz and $8.50/oz (three months ended March 31, 2024: $2.50/oz and $8.66). The decrease in cash cost per silver ounce sold1 is predominantly attributable to higher by-product revenues, as a result of higher realized metal prices (mainly 44% higher gold and 16% higher zinc prices). Additionally, the lower cash cost per silver ounce sold1 and cash cost per equivalent silver ounce sold1 were impacted by 8% lower production cost and 11% lower treatment and refining costs.

The all-in sustaining cost per ounce sold1 and all-in sustaining cost per equivalent silver once sold1 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $2.04/oz and $10.64/oz (three months ended March 31, 2024: $6.11/oz and $11.22/oz). The decrease in all-in sustaining cost per ounce sold1 and all-in sustaining cost per equivalent silver once sold1 was primarily due to the decrease in cash cost per silver ounce sold1 and cash cost per equivalent silver ounce sold1 described above. Additionally, the lower all-in sustaining cost per ounce sold1 and all-in sustaining cost per equivalent silver once sold1 were impacted by 14% lower sustaining capital expenditures and 28% lower general and administrative expenses.

Sales increased by $51,546 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, due to 37% higher realized metal prices and $1,125 lower treatment and refining charges driven mainly by updated favorable benchmark treatment and refining pricing terms.

Production costs decreased by $3,124 mainly due to lower mining costs ($3,357) driven by lower labour, contractors and materials costs.

Depreciation decreased by $1,455 impacted by an increase in updated reserve base (yearly assessment) for the purpose of units of production depreciation calculation.

Cash operating margin (gross profit plus depreciation divided by sales) increased from 70% to 81%, mainly due to positive commodity price movements, lower treatment and refining costs and reduced operating costs.

Other expenses decreased by $5,091 mainly as a result of lower consulting and administrative expenses ($1,186), lower interest expense ($3,900) as Juanicipio reduced its outstanding shareholder loans balance by $209,920 over the course of 2024, and positive foreign exchange differences ($2,029) offset by higher selling costs and other duties ($2,023) which were impacted by higher metal prices and the commencement of commercial pyrite concentrate production during Q2 2024.

Taxes increased by $24,091 mainly due to higher taxable profits generated during Q1 2025.
