SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This news release includes certain "Forward-Looking
Statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and applicable Canadian
securities laws. When used in this news release, the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”,
“expect”, “target”, “plan”, “forecast”, “may”, “schedule”
and similar words or expressions, identify forward-looking statements or information. These forward-looking statements or information
relate to, among other things: the price of silver and other metals; the accuracy of mineral reserve and resource estimates and
estimates of future production and costs of production at our properties; estimated production rates for silver and other payable
metals produced by us, the estimated cost of development of our development projects; the effects of laws, regulations and government
policies on our operations, including, without limitation, the laws in Mexico which currently have significant restrictions related
to mining; obtaining or maintaining necessary permits, licences and approvals from government authorities; and continued access
to necessary infrastructure, including, without limitation, access to power, land, water and roads to carry on activities as planned.
These statements reflect the Company’s current
views with respect to future events and are necessarily based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that, while considered
reasonable by the Company, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties
and contingencies. Many factors, both known and unknown, could cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially
different from the results, performance or achievements that are or may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements
or information and the Company has made assumptions and estimates based on or related to many of these factors. Such factors include,
without limitation: fluctuations in the spot and forward price of silver, gold, base metals or certain other commodities (such
as natural gas, fuel oil and electricity); fluctuations in the currency markets (such as the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso versus
the U.S. dollar); changes in national and local government, legislation, taxation, controls, regulations and political or economic
developments in Canada, Mexico; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining or development activities; risks
and hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration, development and mining (including environmental hazards, industrial
accidents, unusual or unexpected formations, pressures, cave-ins and flooding); risks relating to the credit worthiness or financial
condition of suppliers, refiners and other parties with whom the Company does business; inability to obtain adequate insurance
to cover risks and hazards; and the presence of laws and regulations that may impose restrictions on mining, including those currently
enacted in Mexico; employee relations; relationships with and claims by local communities and indigenous populations; availability
and increasing costs associated with mining inputs and labour; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development, including
the risks of obtaining necessary licenses, permits and approvals from government authorities; diminishing quantities or grades
of mineral reserves as properties are mined; the Company’s title to properties; and the factors identified under the caption
“Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Information Form, under the caption “Risks Relating to First Majestic's
Business”.
Investors are cautioned against attributing undue certainty
to forward-looking statements or information. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended.
The Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements or information to reflect
changes in assumptions or changes in circumstances or any other events affecting such statements or information, other than as
required by applicable law.
