MAG Silver Corp. (MAG - Free Report) announced preliminary 2024 guidance for its Juanicipio Project.
Per Fresnillo (FNLPF - Free Report) , the project operator, the silver head grade at Juanicipio is predicted to be between 380 grams per ton (g/t) and 420 g/t in 2024, indicating significant silver production potential. The facility is expected to run at nameplate capacity every operating day, with an effective utilization rate of 91%.
The Juanicipio Project started commercial production on Jun 1, 2023, marking MAG Silver’s transition from a developer to a producer. The Juanicipio Project, located in Zacatecas, Mexico, is a joint venture between MAG and FNLPF. MAG Silver owns a 44% stake in the Juanicipio Project and Fresnillo holds the remaining 56%.
The project is situated in the Fresnillo Silver Trend in Mexico, which is one of the world's premier silver mining camps.

The Juanicipio Project achieved notable results in the fourth quarter of 2023, producing 4.5 million ounces of silver and 10,591 ounces of gold. This brings the total output for 2023 to 16.8 million silver ounces and 36,732 gold ounces.
