First Majestic offers a unique investment opportunity which is highly leveraged to the price of silver, has unmatched production growth, a significant resource base with excellent growth opportunity, and a highly experienced management team both in Canada and Mexico. The Company’s owns three operating mines which produced 4.25 million ounces of silver equivalent in 2008, with only 10% production from bi-products. Production in 2010 is expected to exceed 6.0 million ounces (eqv.), with 80% of this production in the form silver Doré bars. The majority of this production growth will come from the new 3500 tpd La Encantada cyanidation plant after 16 months of construction and almost US$30 million invested. The major focus for 2010 will be the construction the Company’s fourth mine, the Del Toro Silver Mine, and assuming all goes well, the commissioning in late 2010. In conjunction with production upgrades at its existing mines, the La Parrilla and San Martin Silver Mines, the completion of construction at the La Encantada and the brining on-line of Del Toro, production is expected to reach approximately 10 million ounces a year by 2012.
