Silver production is expected to increase in mid 2009 when the La Encantada plant expansion is completed and plant capacity has been increased from the current 1,000 tpd to 3,500 tpd. The Company expects to gradually bring the new cyanidation plant into production beginning with production of 1,000 tpd in July, 2,000 tpd in August, 3,000 tpd in September, and achieving full capacity in October. Capital expenditures at the La Encantada mine are expected to amount to US$21.6 million upon completion.

Smelting and refining charges are expected to decrease in 2009 due to new refining and smelting agreements entered into in February 2009 for Doré and concentrate production. With the shift in production at the La Encantada mine from concentrate to Doré, the global mix of Doré and concentrate production will increase from the current 49% to 92% Doré production by the fourth quarter of 2009.

Sales of coins, ingots and bullion will increase in the year from 5% of production in Q1/09, to approximately 10% by the end of Q2/09 and will remain at that level for the balance of 2009. These sales result in approximately a 10% increase in selling price over normal quoted selling prices in any quarter. Additional information on the Company’s silver coins, ingots and bullion, including how to place an order, may be found on the Company’s website at www.firstmajestic.com.
