EXPLORATION

• Juanicipio:
  • Underground infill drilling at Juanicipio continued in Q2 2024 primarily focussed on upgrading mineralization in areas expected to be mined in the near to mid-term. During Q2 2024, 10,699 metres were drilled from underground.
  • Surface drilling focused on expanding and upgrading the deeper zones and broader regional exploration started in April 2024 and is currently focused on the Cañada-Honda Structure. 4,546 metres have been drilled from surface during Q2 2024.
  • During 2024, Juanicipio plans to drill a total of 50,000 metres, with 33,000 metres from underground and 17,000 metres from surface.

• Deer Trail Project, Utah:
  • Drilling moved on to Phase 4 in the last quarter of 2023 and continued through Q2 2024, focussed on lower elevations and aimed at offsetting the Carissa discovery and testing other high-potential targets in the Deer Trail mine area. During Q2 2024, 1,610 metres were drilled with results pending.
  • On July 11, 2024, MAG reported that the Deer Trail Project was being affected by the Silver King Fire in Piute County with a temporary pause of exploration operations with all personnel safe and the Deer Trail site and infrastructure secure. As of July 29, 2024, 82% of the fire has been contained and the Company has resumed exploration operations.
• Larder Project, Ontario:
  • Drilling at Cheminis, Bear and new regional targets, totalled 10,776 metres in Q2 2024. Targets tested include:
    • the down plunge extension of the high-grade “double knuckle” at the Bear East zone;
    • the “Twist” zone in an underexplored area along the Cadillac-Larder Break (“CLB”) where the major structure switches from south dipping to north dipping, which is located between Cheminis and Bear;
    • the extension of the Cheminis south mine sequence down plunge to 900 vertical metres; and
    • regional targets along the second order structure and unconformity.
  • Cheminis Update: The final two holes of the current Cheminis drilling program totalled 1,455 metres and were designed to delineate the mine sequence down from the 700 metre level to the 900 metre level. Both holes have extended the ore shoots from surface down to 900 metres below surface doubling the depth extent of known mineralization at the Cheminis mine which remains open at depth. Bear Update: Two directional holes totalling 126 metres, extended the Bear East zone down plunge 1,200 metres below surface, intersecting gold mineralization within a mixing zone of strongly altered komatiites-syenites and ultramafics. Bear East remains open in all directions.Twist Update: The Twist target was identified in the geololgical review program of 2023, where the CLB main structure switches from south dipping (Cheminis) to north dipping (Bear). It is interpreted to host a potential dilation zone either in the central part of the fold/fault or along the limbs, similar to the historic Kerr Addison mine 5km east of the Larder Project. In Q2 2024 initial drilling started and 4,830 metres have been drilled testing this target. Assays received to date have identified an alteration zone, that is hosted in multiple rock types including volcanics, mafic tuff, sediments and syenites, which is atypical along the CLB. The alteration consists of pervasive silica-carbonate-sericite and the structures associated with the widespread zones are indicative of a series of brittle shears likely sourced from a larger central dilation zone. Approximately 10 holes in total are planned for this target, with 7 remaining.Regional Targets: The first set of regional targets lie along a 4km second order structure and unconformity and have been identified through Magnetotellurics-Induced Polarization (“MT-IP”) geophysics, surface mapping/sampling and geological importance. Targets include mixed zones of greywackes, trachytes, syenites, conglomerates and volcanics, litho-structural breaks in the MT-IP survey and alteration packages identified on the surface including hydrothermally altered conglomerates and syenites. During Q2 2024, 9 holes were drilled for a total of 4,655 metres with results pending.

Operating Performance

The following table and subsequent discussion provide a summary of the operating performance of Juanicipio for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, unless otherwise noted.

Key mine performance data of Juanicipio (100% basis)	Three months ended
	June 30,		June 30,

Zinc pounds sold (klb)	15,237		10,103
Equivalent silver ounces sold (koz)(2)	5,817		6,390

(1) Equivalent silver head grades have been calculated using the following price assumptions to translate gold, lead and zinc to “equivalent” silver head grade in 2024: $23/oz silver, $1,950/oz gold, $0.95/lb lead and $1.15/lb zinc (2023: $21.85/oz silver, $1,775/oz gold, $0.915/lb lead and $1.30/lb zinc).(2) Equivalent silver ounces sold have been calculated using realized prices to translate gold, lead and zinc to “equivalent” silver ounces sold (metal quantity, multiplied by metal price, divided by silver price). Three months ended June 30, 2024 realized prices: $30.17/oz silver, $2,379.85/oz gold, $0.99/lb lead and $1.33/lb zinc (three months ended June 30, 2023 realized prices: $23.69/oz silver, $1,957.47/oz gold, $0.94/lb lead and $1.07/lb zinc).

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, a total of 349,460 tonnes of ore were mined. This represents an increase of 35% over Q2 2023. Increases in mined tonnages at Juanicipio have been driven by the operational ramp-up of the mine towards steady mining and milling targets.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, a total of 336,592 tonnes of ore were processed through the Juanicipio plant; no ore was processed at the nearby Fresnillo and Saucito processing plants (100% owned by Fresnillo). The 11% decrease over Q2 2023 was mainly attributable to Juanicipio capitalizing on available milling capacity at the nearby Fresnillo and Saucito plants (100% owned by Fresnillo) while undergoing operational ramp-up and processing facility commissioning in the first half of 2023.

The silver head grade and equivalent silver head grade for the ore processed in the three months ended June 30, 2024 was 498 g/t and 746 g/t, respectively (three months ended June 30, 2023: 498 g/t and 708 g/t, respectively). Head grades in Q2 2024 were slightly higher than Q2 2023 (5% on a silver equivalent basis, with silver head grade being consistent), due to low-grade commissioning stockpiles being processed through the Juanicipio plant in the first half of 2023. Silver metallurgical recovery during the three months ending June 30, 2024 was 92% (three months ending June 30, 2023: 87%) reflecting the commencement of commercial pyrite production during Q2 2024 delivering incremental silver and gold recovery as well as ongoing optimizations in the processing plant.  

The following table provides a summary of the total cash costs and all-in sustaining costs (“AISC”) of Juanicipio for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023.

MAG’s 44% equity income	25,123		22,418

Sales increased by $32,304 during the three months ended June 30, 2024, mainly due to 25% higher realized metal prices and $8,217 lower treatment, refining and toll milling costs driven mainly by no toll milling at the Saucito and Fresnillo processing facilities during Q2 2024 vs toll milling in Q2 2023 – as explained in ‘Juanicipio Results – Operating Performance’ section above, offset by 5% lower metal volumes.

Production costs decreased by $14,705 to Juanicipio depleting higher-cost, lower-grade commissioning stockpiles during operational ramp-up and processing facility commissioning in the first half of 2023.

Depreciation increased by $5,056 as the Juanicipio mill achieved commercial production and commenced depreciating the processing facility and associated equipment in June 2023.

Cash operating margin increased from 60% to 76%, mainly due to reduced operating costs as well as positive commodity prices augmented by operational leverage and no processing at the nearby Fresnillo and Saucito processing facilities.

Other expenses decreased by $790 mainly as a result of higher exchange gains ($664) and lower interest expense ($1,645) as Juanicipio reduced its outstanding shareholder loans balance by $173,339 ($156,859 loan repayments and $16,480 converted to equity) over the course of September 2023 to June 2024, offset by higher extraordinary mining and other duties ($1,396) which were impacted by the commencement of pyrite production during Q2 2024.

Taxes increased by $34,951 mainly due to non-cash deferred tax charges on fixed assets driven by a weakening in the Mexican peso versus the US dollar, as well as higher taxable profits generated during Q2 2024.Ore Processed at Juanicipio Plant (100% basis)

About MAG Silver Corp.

MAG Silver Corp. is a growth-oriented Canadian mining and exploration company focused on advancing high-grade, district scale precious metals projects in the Americas. MAG is emerging as a top-tier primary silver mining company through its (44%) joint venture interest in the 4,000 tonnes per day Juanicipio Mine, operated by Fresnillo plc (56%).

MAG is also executing multi-phase exploration programs at the 100% earn-in Deer Trail Project in Utah and the 100% owned Larder Project, located in the historically prolific Abitibi region of Canada.
