MANAGEMENT UPDATE

The Company announces today that Raymond Polman, Chief Financial Officer, has communicated his plans to retire after 15 successful years with the Company. Mr. Polman will remain in his current position until a replacement has been transitioned into the role. It is expected that a new CFO will be announced by the end of the third quarter.

Keith Neumeyer, President and CEO, states, "Ray has been an important member of First Majestic for the past 15 years and his financial leadership has assisted in building First Majestic into the world-class silver company it is today. I'm grateful for his contributions to the business and wish him all the best in his retirement. In addition, I would like to thank Robert McCallum for his long-standing directorship to First Majestic. Rob has been with the Company since inception and his contributions have enabled First Majestic to grow into one of the world's largest silver companies. Both Ray and Robert will be greatly missed, however, both will be available for advisory roles over the next 12 months."

Additionally, the Company is pleased to announce the appointments of Michael Deal as its General Manager of the Jerritt Canyon Gold Mine and Edward Kirwan as Director of Environment. Mr. Deal has over 17 years of mining and mineral processing experience and was most recently Processing Manager and Regional Metallurgist for Nevada Gold Mines, a joint venture between Barrick Gold and Newmont. Mr. Kirwan has over 34 years of environmental, sustainability and project management experience in the mining industry and most recently held environmental positions at Tahoe Resources, Silver Standard Resources and KHGM. Also, effective today, Greg Kulla has resigned from the Company as Vice-President of Exploration and a search for his replacement has begun.
