Juanicipio Production

Project Overview

The Juanicipio Mine (“Juanicipio”) is a high-grade silver-gold-zinc-lead epithermal vein system on the Fresnillo Silver Trend in Mexico, the world’s premier silver mining belt.

MAG’s 4,000 tonnes per day Juanicipio Mine (44%) is operated by Fresnillo Plc (56%) and located approximately 6 km west of the mining city of Fresnillo.

In addition to underground mine production and processing of high-grade mineralized material, an exploration program is in place at Juanicipio targeting multiple highly prospective targets.

Production and Operating Profile

The Juanicipio Mine is running at 4,000 tpd. Additionally, with only 5% of the project explored to date, MAG has significant exploration upside at Juanicipio.

  • Silver recoveries continue to improve and are consistently at or above 88%, with ongoing initiatives to optimize recoveries
  • MAG continues to focus on cost control and optimization, with operating margins and AISC improving quarter over quarter
  • MAG fully transitioned to Juanicipio as a stand-alone operation in August, 2023
