Keith Neumeyer, President and CEO of First Majestic said, “With this closing, First Majestic is integrating a well-built, low-cost, profitable silver mine into its large portfolio of operating mines. The Santa Elena Silver Mine, becoming our sixth mine in Mexico, is projected to increase the Company’s total production by approximately 5 million silver equivalent ounces per year. We are very excited to have this free cash flowing mine added to our portfolio.”

Minera Alamos Inc. has been working on its 100%-owned, advanced-stage, Los Verdes, copper-molybdenum project in Sonora, Mexico.

Drilling successfully identified a new high-grade gold-silver polymetallic discovery on the project (“Mina La Bocona Extension”) and further extensions to the previously identified Blind and El Sol Deposits.
