First Majestic Produces 4.7 Million Silver Eqv. Ounces in Second Quarter

“We delivered a solid second quarter with total production coming in-line with our guidance,” said Keith Neumeyer, President & CEO. “I am most pleased to see the grade and recovery increases at Del Toro following improvements in dilution control and the implementation of a flash-flotation approach within the processing plant. In addition, the La Encantada plant resumed normal operations in early May following mechanical modifications to the crushing and grinding areas. These modifications required a temporary mechanical delay which resulted in lower milling rates throughout most of April. At Santa Elena, the operation continues to exceed our production expectations largely in part due to the continued success in mill optimization. As a result, metallurgical recoveries of silver at Santa Elena achieved a new quarterly record of 89% during the second quarter.”
