McCluskey, President and Chief Executive Officer.

These reports are expected to be released during the third quarter of this year.”

“Prismo looks forward to working closely with the joint technical committee and the Vizsla exploration team to advance our mutual understanding of this long-underexplored, high-grade silver-gold district.

“With the initial concentrate shipments behind us our attention is now on achieving commercial production at Juanicipio.

Our goal is to transform these good days into solid quarters and solid quarters into outstanding years,” said George Paspalas, MAG Silver’s President and CEO.

Octavio Alvídrez, Chief Executive Officer, said: “I am pleased to report a solid start to the year. Silver and gold production are both up on the previous quarter driven by the increasing contribution from our new Juanicipio mine and the strong performance at our Herradura gold mine in particular.”
