Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
First Majestic produced 7.8M AgEq ounces in Q4, up 37% year over year.
AG added 2.09M AgEq ounces from Cerro Los Gatos after Gatos Silver deal.
First Majestic met 2025 output at 31.1M AgEq ounces with strong Mexico mines.
First Majestic Silver Corp. (AG - Free Report) has been capitalising on strong silver prices, with increase in silver production. In fourth-quarter 2025, the company produced 7.8 million silver-equivalent (AgEq) ounces, reflecting an increase of 37% year over year.
The production growth was supported by the Gatos Silver buyout (in January 2025), which added a 70% interest in the Cerro Los Gatos underground mine. In the fourth quarter, the asset contributed 2.09 million AgEq ounces, significantly enhancing First Majestic’s production base. The company’s core operations also delivered encouraging results. The San Dimas mine produced 2.45 million AgEq ounces of silver in the fourth quarter.
For the full-year 2025, AG met its upwardly revised production outlook (provided in July 2025), with full-year production of 31.1 million AgEq ounces. The figure includes a robust 15.4 million silver ounces, 147,433 gold ounces, 56.7 million lbs of zinc and 32.3 million lbs of lead.
AG’s strong operational foothold in Mexico through four operating mines, including the likes of Santa Elena Silver/Gold mine, Los Gatos Silver mine, San Dimas Silver/Gold mine and La Encantada Silver mine, holds positive. Despite AG experiencing major tax-related issues in the country, all these sites are performing strongly, achieving record production. In the fourth quarter, contributions from AG’s Santa Elena, Los Gatos, San Dimas and La Encantada mines to its total silver-equivalent ounces production were 29.1%, 26.7%, 31.2% and 12.8%, respectively.
