Year: 2016

“We continued to make good progress in reducing operating costs during the first quarter,” stated Brendan Cahill, President and Chief Executive Officer. “After accessing the Rodilla Manto earlier than planned in late February, we realized an AISC of $11.72 for March, demonstrating the opportunity to dramatically reduce costs per ounce under dry mining conditions at Platosa. We continue to execute our dewatering strategy, with the primary production wells now being drilled. Additionally, subsequent to the end of the quarter, we strengthened our balance sheet with a financing from Eric Sprott and the closing of the transfer of the DeSantis property’s mining claims to Oban Mining. Looking ahead, our focus is to continue to improve operating results as the Platosa optimization program is implemented.”

“Profit margins increased in the first quarter due to additional cost savings and various operational improvements across the business,” stated Keith Neumeyer, President and CEO of First Majestic. “Even with relatively flat silver prices compared to the previous quarter, we generated strong free cash flow due to lower operating costs and higher production at the mines. Our new mine, Santa Elena, had another great quarter and continues to exceed our expectations. Due to the significant cash flows now coming into the business combined with the recently announced C$50 million financing, we are beginning to evaluate internal growth projects, starting with increasing development and exploration at each of our operations in the coming quarters.”
