definitive guidance and solidifying our outlook for the Juanicipio

steady-state with robust silver grades and operations beginning to
benefit from increasing efficiencies,” said George Paspalas,
President and CEO of MAG. “With the release of our updated
technical report on the horizon, we're eager to paint an even
clearer picture of the exciting future ahead for Juanicipio and MAG
