Expansionary drilling intersects high-grade silver and gold mineralization near underground mine development. High-grade silver and gold intersection of the new Coronado vein highlights the potential for new Mineral Resource discoveries.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – August 18, 2025) – First Majestic Silver Corp. (NYSE: AG) (TSX: AG) (FSE: FMV) (the “Company” or “First Majestic”) is pleased to report positive drilling results from its ongoing exploration program at the San Dimas Silver/Gold Mine, located in Durango, Mexico. The ongoing exploration program was designed to explore for new veins, expand the Mineral Resources, and upgrade Inferred Mineral Resources to Indicated Mineral Resources.

“The 2025 exploration results at San Dimas continue to reinforce its position as a high-quality asset within First Majestic’s portfolio of operating mines,” stated Keith Neumeyer, President & CEO of First Majestic. “We are realizing strong results from numerous veins at San Dimas near-mine extensions at Elia, Sinaloa, Roberta, and Santa Teresa, and we are excited by the new high-grade silver and gold intercept of the Coronado vein in the West Block. Extensions of historically mined areas remain untested by modern methods, and this speaks to the untapped potential of the district. These new results confirm our view that San Dimas has significant growth opportunities and remains a cornerstone asset for our long-term growth strategy.”

KEY DRILLING HIGHLIGHTS

Exploration drilling intersected significant gold (“Au”) and silver (“Ag”) mineralization in multiple veins across the San Dimas property. A selection of significant drill hole intersections from these veins, namely the Sinaloa-Elia vein, the Roberta vein, the Santa Teresa vein, and the Coronado vein (Figure 1), are highlighted in Table 1 below:

Sinaloa-Elia Veins

Drilling at the historic Sinaloa-Elia veins cut multiple intercepts with high-grade gold and silver mineralization. The drill holes expand the known mineralization beyond the current Mineral Resources and confirm the presence of mineralization below historically mined areas along the Sinaloa vein and to the east of the Elia vein (Figure 2). Additional drill holes successfully converted Inferred Mineral Resources to Indicated Mineral Resources effectively de-risking mineralization for near-term mining. Select drill hole assay grades and true width intervals of the vein intersections include:

  • ELI25X-1: 3.57 metres (“m”) at 15.93 g/t Au and 1,112 g/t Ag;
  • SIN25X-5: 5.17 m at 7.66 g/t Au and 495 g/t Ag;
  • ELI25X-17: 1.06 m at 23.70 g/t Au and 578 g/t Ag; and
  • SIN25X-9: 2.12 m at 8.38 g/t Au and 242 g/t Ag.

Roberta Vein

The Roberta vein is one of the largest past producing veins at San Dimas, and expansionary drilling of the vein explored untested up-dip mineralization continuity outside current Inferred Mineral Resources (Figure 3). Several drillholes yielded significant results, and select assay grades and true width intersections include:

  • ROT25X-10: 1.52 m at 6.40 g/t Au and 472 g/t Ag;
  • ROT25X-12: 3.78 m at 1.66 g/t Au and 168 g/t Ag; and
  • ROT25X-7: 0.77 m at 7.37 g/t Au and 689 g/t Ag.

Santa Teresa Vein

Expansionary drilling to the west of the historic Santa Teresa vein in the Western Block has returned encouraging results along strike, approximately 170 m east of historic mining. The vein projection remains open to the east for ~600 m (Figure 4). Select assay grades and true width vein intersections include:

  • STE25X-20: 2.53 m at 9.65 g/t Au and 121 g/t Ag;
  • STE25X-9: 3.38 m at 2.44 g/t Au and 120 g/t Ag; and
  • STE25X-6: 1.01 m at 6.79 g/t Au and 463 g/t Ag.

Coronado Vein

The region north of the Santa Teresa vein, within the West Block, is a significant new gold and silver target on the property. The Coronado vein, which trends sub-parallel to the Santa Terea vein, is unexplored by modern methods and represents an important opportunity to identify new Mineral Resources in this area. Early drilling to test the Coronado target in 2025 intersected high-grade gold and silver mineralization and the trend remains open for approximately 1 kilometre to the west (Figure 5). The high-grade true width drill hole intersection includes:

COR25X-2: 2.12 m at 2.59 g/t Au and 327 g/t Ag.

Notes:

  1. All holes are Diamond Drill Core; AgEq grade = Ag grade (g/t) + [Au (g/t) * 85].
  2. From and to length indicated in metres, true width of the intercept is calculated per drill hole and vein angles.
  3. See Appendix to this news release for details regarding drill hole locations, sample type, azimuth, dip and total depth.
  4. San Dimas: gold and silver drill hole significant intercepts were composited using the length weighted averages of uncapped sample assays, a 190 g/t AgEq minimum grade (cut-off grade, “COG”), and a minimum composite length of 0.7 m (true width). A maximum of 1 m below the minimum COG was allowed as internal dilution. Where necessary to achieve minimum length, a single sample below the COG but grading >100g/t AgEq was allowed to be composited for short intervals.
  5. Where present, single samples or intercepts with assay results higher than 700 g/t AgEq are highlighted as “Include” in each intercept.

First Majestic’s drill programs follow established Quality Assurance, Quality Control (“QA/QC”) insertion protocols with standards, blanks, and duplicates introduced into the sample-stream. After geological logging, all drill core samples are cut in half. One half of the core is submitted to the laboratory for analysis and the remaining half core is retained on-site for verification and reference purposes or for future metallurgical testing.

Core samples are submitted to First Majestic’s Central laboratory (“Central laboratory”) (ISO 9001:2015). At the Central laboratory, gold is analyzed by 30 g fire assay atomic absorption finish (AU-AA13). Results above 10 g/t are analyzed by 30 g fire assay gravimetric finish (ASAG-14). Silver is analyzed by 3-acid digestion atomic absorption finish (AAG-13). Results above 100 g/t are analyzed by 30 g fire assay gravimetric finish (ASAG-14, ASAG-13).
