First Majestic Announces Positive Exploration
Results at San Dimas
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.

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.

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
