First Majestic drills high-grade results, expands footprint at San Dimas

Resource-conversion and resource-addition drilling returned multiple high-grade silver and gold intercepts across the San Dimas district

New drilling results at Convención and El Cristo have expanded the exploration footprint and support the potential for future Mineral Resource growth

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 9, 2026) - First Majestic Silver Corp. (NYSE: AG) (TSX: AG) (FSE: FMV) (the "Company" or "First Majestic") is pleased to announce positive drill results from its ongoing 2026 exploration program at its San Dimas Silver/Gold Mine in Durango, Mexico. Recent resource-conversion and resource-addition drilling has returned multiple high-grade silver and gold intercepts across several areas of the San Dimas district, supporting near-mine Mineral Resource conversion and growth opportunities. Additionally, new drill results at Convención and El Cristo have expanded the district's exploration footprint and identified additional targets for follow-up drilling as part of the Company's 2026 exploration program, which includes approximately 117,000 metres ("m") of planned drilling.

"San Dimas continues to validate its position as one of our most prospective and enduring mining districts," stated Keith Neumeyer, CEO of First Majestic. "The latest drill results have returned multiple high-grade silver and gold intercepts from both resource-conversion and resource-addition programs, reinforcing the near-mine growth potential of established vein systems while expanding the exploration footprint at Convención and El Cristo. With approximately 117,000 metres of drilling planned in 2026, we are advancing one of the Company's largest exploration programs, focused on Mineral Resource conversion, testing new targets and identifying additional growth opportunities throughout the San Dimas district."

KEY DRILLING HIGHLIGHTS

Exploration drilling at San Dimas has intersected significant silver ("Ag") and gold ("Au") mineralization across multiple vein systems, supporting both near-mine Mineral Resource conversion and broader district exploration opportunities. A total of approximately 89,000 m of exploration drilling has been completed year-to-date in 2026, of the planned approximately 117,000 m program, with work focused on resource-conversion and resource-addition drilling in the West Block, Central Block and Graben block, together with follow-up drilling in the El Cristo mine area and continued target testing in the East/Arana Block.

Recent results include high-grade intercepts from resource-conversion and resource-addition drilling within the Sinaloa-Elia vein complex, continued expansion of the mineralized footprint at the Coronado-Carmen Escobosa vein system in the West Block, confirmation of a new target north of the Jessica vein at Convención, and encouraging early results from the Luz and Patricia veins within the El Cristo mine area. Selected significant intercepts are summarized in Table 1, and the principal target areas are shown in Figure 1.

Sinaloa-Elia Vein Complex

Resource-addition and infill drilling at the historic Sinaloa-Elia vein complex has returned multiple high-grade silver and gold intercepts, further supporting the continuity and Mineral Resource growth potential of the system. New drill results extend the footprint of known mineralization beyond the current Mineral Resources to the east, west and locally down dip. Infill drilling has also returned thick, high-grade intercepts that support increased confidence in the mineralized system and the potential conversion of Inferred Mineral Resources to Indicated Mineral Resources, providing additional support for future mine planning (Figure 2).

Convención Vein

Geological analysis and targeting around the Jessica vein identified several historic anomalous vein and breccia intercepts that were reinterpreted as evidence for the presence of a hanging wall structure. Initial drill testing of this target returned five significant intercepts in seven holes, supporting the exploration hypothesis (Figure 3). The structure, the Convención vein, was intersected approximately 100 m north of Jessica and may represent a potential near-term mining opportunity. The target vein remains open in multiple directions, supporting additional follow-up drilling in the area (Figure 4).

Coronado - Carmen Escobosa Complex

Drilling in the West Block has focused on the Coronado and Carmen Escobosa veins. Results from 2025 were incorporated into the Inferred Mineral Resources for San Dimas and provided the basis for follow-up drilling in 2026. Results received to date support the interpretation of Coronado and Carmen Escobosa as a two-vein mineralized system with continued potential for Mineral Resource addition (Figure 5).

At Carmen Escobosa, five drill holes testing the western continuity of mineralization, together with a drill hole targeting the eastern extension, returned significant intercepts. The target remains open for approximately 400 m to the west of these new intercepts, supporting additional follow-up drilling along strike (Figure 6). At Coronado, three drill holes testing the continuity of mineralization to the west also returned significant intercepts, further supporting the potential to expand the mineralized footprint in the West Block (Figure 7).

El Cristo Mine

Exploration activities have expanded to include the El Cristo mine area, the southernmost historically mined areas on the property. Results to date have returned high-grade silver and gold intercepts from the Luz and Patricia veins, supporting follow-up drilling to evaluate the continuity and extent of mineralization. Select drill hole assay results and true-width vein intersections include:

The 2026 drill program at San Dimas is expected to continue advancing near-mine Mineral Resource conversion while testing additional targets across the district. Results received to date support the potential for Mineral Resource growth within established vein systems and highlight new opportunities at Convención and El Cristo for follow-up drilling.

Table 6: Selection of Significant Silver and Gold Drill Hole Intercepts at San Dimas

Notes:

All holes are Diamond Drill Core; AgEq grade = Ag grade (g/t) + [Au (g/t) * 75].

From and To length indicated in metres, True Width of the intercept is calculated per drill hole and vein angles.

See Appendix to this news release for details regarding drill hole locations, sample type, azimuth, dip and total depth.

San Dimas: silver and gold drill hole significant intercepts were composited using the length weighted averages of uncapped sample assays, a 171g/t AgEq minimum grade (cut-off grade, "COG"), and a minimum composite length of 0.7 m (true width). A maximum of 1 m below the minimum COG was allowed as internal dilution. Where necessary to achieve minimum length, a single sample below the COG but grading >70g/t AgEq was allowed to be composited for short intervals.

Where present, single samples or intercepts with assay results higher than 1000 g/t AgEq are highlighted as "Include" in each intercept.

First Majestic's drill programs follow established Quality Assurance/Quality Control ("QA/QC") protocols with standards, blanks, and duplicates inserted into the sample stream. After geological logging, all drill core samples are cut in half. One half of the core is submitted to the laboratory for analysis, and the remaining half core is retained on-site for verification and reference purposes or future metallurgical testing.

Core samples are submitted to First Majestic's Central Laboratory ("Central Laboratory") (ISO 9001:2015). At the Central Laboratory, gold is analyzed by 30 g fire assay atomic absorption finish (AU-AA13). Results above 10 g/t gold are re-analyzed by 30 g fire assay gravimetric finish (ASAG-14). Silver is analyzed by 3-acid digestion atomic absorption finish (AAG-13). Results above 100 g/t silver are re-analyzed by 30 g fire assay gravimetric finish (ASAG-14, ASAG-13).
