  • Indicated resource of 704,000 tonnes grading 4.05 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold and 66 g/t silver containing 91,700 ounces of gold and 1.5 million ounces of silver, and inferred resource of 4.63 million tonnes grading 3.36 g/t gold and 59 g/t silver containing 501,500 ounces of gold and 8.8 million ounces of silver, as of December 31, 20181, 2, 3. A new resource is expected at the end of Q1 2020.
  • First Majestic received a positive Unified Technical Document ("DTU") permit for the Ermitaño project in May 2019, paving the way for the commencement construction and mining activities
  • A total of 55,719 metres of drilling completed in 157 holes4 at the end of 2019 with recent results that include:
    • EW-19-67 grading 12.84 g/t gold and 46 g/t silver over 10.8 metres
    • EW-19-85 grading 31.63 g/t gold and 459 g/t silver over 2.4 metres
    • EW-19-103 grading 16.37 g/t gold and 111 g/t silver over 7.7 metres
  • Engineering, geotechnical, geohydrological, and metallurgical studies underway to support a pre-feasibility study expected to be released in the fourth quarter of this year
  • A total of 3,800 metres of underground development to prepare five production levels and 15,000 metres of drilling is scheduled for completion over the course of 2020

"We are pleased to see First Majestic's effort and commitment to complete the underground development in 2020," commented Evrim President and CEO, Paddy Nicol. "Evrim holds two royalties (Ermitaño and Cumobabi) in the vicinity of the Santa Elena mine and we see a bright future for the mine and our interests.

About the Ermitaño Deposit

The Ermitaño Project is a gold and silver resource-development project located in Sonora State, Mexico. The project is located four kilometres southeast of the Santa Elena silver-gold mine operated by First Majestic. The "Ermitaño West" area contains a network of east-west trending low sulphidation epithermal veins and stockwork in an area measuring 1,200 metres long by 600 metres wide.

Ermitaño Vein System

Epithermal silver and gold mineralization is hosted in the steep dipping Ermitaño and Ermitaño Splay structures. These structures host green and white massive, banded, and bladed quartz, calcite, and adularia veins and stockworks. The veins are commonly brecciated and associated with argillic alteration. The bulk of the Inferred mineralization reported in 2019 is hosted in the Ermitaño Splay. Drilling of the Ermitaño Splay has delineated an east-west striking structure measuring approximately 500 metres long and 400 metres down dip, with mineralized true thicknesses ranging from 0.9 to 30.0 metres and averaging 11.0 metres. The Ermitaño Splay separates from the Ermitaño structure, which has been delineated by drilling for approximately 1,000 metres along strike and 400 metres down dip. Mineralized true thickness ranges from 0.8 to 11.0 metres and averages 4.0 metres.
