Production at both La Parrilla and San Martin are on budget while the La Encantada was under budget in the quarter. Third quarter production is anticipated to be back on track.

As a result of engineering changes and the extension of the timeline of the completion and commissioning of the new plant, the Company has revised its forecast for production for 2009 to 5 million eqv silver ounces. The addition of this new operation to the Company’s assets is expected to have a dramatic effect on revenues and profitability. The La Encantada is anticipated to produce over 60% of the Company’s production in 2010 and thus its successful completion has been management’s primary focus. The recently announced private placement will assure this project comes online within the new schedule.

First Majestic is a producing silver company focused in México and is aggressively pursuing its business plan to become a senior silver producer through the development of its existing assets and the pursuit through acquisition of additional assets that contribute to achieving its corporate growth objectives.
