What do you think makes your company such a compelling investment?

Silver prices have rallied again in 2025 along with the Gold price but there is more room to go. Forecasted annual silver consumption worldwide is ~1.2 billion oz in 2025, driven by growth in industrial demand, compared to annual mine production of ~825 million oz. This will be the fifth straight year of deficit according to the Silver Institute. As the world continues running towards a high-tech economy requiring heavy energy consumption, we will need more technologies like AI and additional efficient energy production and storage like EV batteries and photovoltaic solar panels, that utilize silver.

First Majestic boasts industry-leading trading liquidity and leverage to silver with production guidance of approximately 32 million silver equivalent ounces in 2025, with about 55% of revenues from silver and 33% from gold. Furthermore, First Majestic has 255,000m of exploration planned in 2025 across our five projects, including Jerritt Canyon, which has led to some promising discoveries such as the new high-grade gold and silver discovery, Santo Nino, at our Santa Elena property. 2025 has so far been a transformational year for First Majestic on the back of optimizations at San Dimas and the acquisition and integration of Los Gatos in January. Looking forward, revenue and earnings growth is anticipated over the next few years, and combined with our strong balance sheet, position the company and its shareholders well to capitalize on the rising price of silver.

 

What are the top 3 key investor takeaways?

  1. Leading leverage to silver prices, and purity (% of revenue from silver)
  1. Production trending up, costs down, active exploration program
  1. First Mint - Commissioned in 2024, this 100%-owned modern minting facility in Nevada, USA is the first of its kind for any mining company. The mint allows First Majestic to sell a greater portion of its silver production directly to shareholders and bullion customers, vertically integrating the process and capturing a higher margin on silver sales.
