Eagle Plains and Xcite Amend Uranium City Option Agreements
As consideration for entering into the amending agreements, Xcite will issue an aggregate of 150,000 XRI common shares to Eagle Plains. When issued, in accordance with applicable securities laws, the shares will be subject to a four month hold period.
The six projects are included in an Exploration Agreement between EPL and the Ya'thi Néné Lands and Resource Office ('YNLR'), representing the Athabasca Denesułiné First Nations of Hatchet Lake, Black Lake, and Fond du Lac, the Northern Hamlet of Stony Rapids, and the Northern Settlements of Uranium City, Wollaston Lake and Camsell Portage (see EPL NR November 26, 2024). The Agreement supports mineral exploration in Nuhenéné, the traditional territory of the Athabasca First Nations in Treaty 8 and Treaty 10 Territories, and recognizes Eagle Plains' commitment to building a mutually beneficial relationship with the Athabasca communities.
Athabasca Basin History and Mineralization
The Beaver River, Black Bay, Don Lake, Gulch, Larado, and Smitty projects are located in the Beaverlodge District near Uranium City in the Lake Athabasca region of Saskatchewan. Occurrences of uranium mineralization are abundant in the Uranium City area and have been explored and documented since the 1940s. The Beaverlodge camp was the first uranium producer in Canada, with historic production of approximately 70.25 million pounds of U3O8 between 1950-1982, from ore grades averaging 0.23% U3O8. The two largest producers were the Eldorado Beaverlodge (Ace-Fay-Verna) mine and the Gunnar uranium mine. The Beaverlodge area has seen limited uranium focused exploration since the early 1990's.
Eagle Plains' management cautions that past results or discoveries on proximate land are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the subject properties.
Beaverlodge-style uranium deposits host structurally controlled, high grade mineralization in veins and breccia-fills within basement rocks. Mineralization often occurs at geological contacts and consists of structures filled with hematite, chlorite and graphite associated with pitchblende (an ore mineral of uranium).

Jefferies hikes Canadian bank price targets, but warns valuations set a high bar
Jefferies Financial Group has boosted price targets across the Canadian banks it covers, citing minimal trade-war impact heading into third-quarter results. However, with 'valuations approaching 'priced for perfection territory,'' the firm warns that any earnings miss could quickly punish share prices. The target increases come mainly from richer valuation multiples, with analyst John Aiken writing in the Q3 preview report that he expects 'modest' earnings growth driven mainly by reduced provisions for bad credit, rather than revenue growth. Aiken notes that 'both the Canadian and U.S. economies have managed to shrug off most of the feared negative consequences of the threatened tariffs,' quipping 'apparently, the end is not nigh.' Banks are thus likely to have removed in the third quarter some of the extra cushion they set aside for bad loans in the thick of tariff uncertainty. Jefferies forecasts a sharp drop in provisions for performing loans, partially offset by a small rise in impaired loan provisions — suggesting that some credit deterioration is appearing but not enough to cancel the benefit from the cushion release. Jefferies cautions, however, that revenue growth 'may be a struggle again,' with consumer loan growth sluggish, commercial lending demand slowing, and capital markets revenue likely to soften during the slower summer months. Loan growth could remain muted until business and consumer confidence improve, the preview notes. Share prices have largely crept up over the quarter, it notes, giving the banks less margin for error. 'While we are not forecasting any material disruption to earnings, we also note that the run-up in valuations post second-quarter reporting edges the group closer to overvalued territory as several concerns about the economy have not eased,' Aiken wrote. 'Consequently, any miss on earnings in the third quarter could have significant negative consequences for valuation multiples, with near-term upside likely constrained, even under a modest beat scenario.' Jefferies' bank-by-bank take includes: Royal Bank of Canada ( RY): 'Post acquisition of HSBC Canada extends RY's dominance in Canadian retail and commercial banking.' National Bank ( Still focused on domestic growth following its Canadian Western Bank purchase. TD Bank ( TD): 'TD continues to recover from the resolution of its anti-money laundering issues… the ample excess capital offers optionality as well as downside protection from a potential recession.' BMO ( BMO): The Bank of the West acquisition has expanded its U.S. footprint, but investors are still waiting to see if it can deliver the cost savings and growth it promised. Equitable Bank ( Strong growth and profitability but still trading at the lowest valuation multiple in the sector. On shareholder returns, dividends are expected to remain unchanged except at Equitable Bank, where Jefferies projects a four per cent bump. Share buybacks are modest but ongoing among most of the six largest lenders. John MacFarlane is a senior reporter at Yahoo Finance Canada. Follow him on X @jmacf.

First Majestic Announces Record Financial Results for Q2 2025 and Quarterly Dividend Payment
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 14, 2025) - First Majestic Silver Corp. (NYSE: AG) (TSX: AG) (FSE: FMV) (the "Company" or "First Majestic") is pleased to announce the Company's unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. The full version of the financial statements and the accompanying management's discussion and analysis can be viewed on the Company's website at or on SEDAR+ at and on EDGAR at All amounts are in U.S. dollars unless stated otherwise. SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS Robust Silver Equivalent Production (+48% Y/Y): The Company produced 7.9 million silver equivalent ("AgEq") ounces, including 3.7 million silver ounces, in Q2 2025 representing a 48% increase compared to 5.3 million silver equivalent ounces produced in Q2 2024. Record Quarterly Revenue (+94% Y/Y): For a second consecutive quarter, the Company achieved a quarterly revenue record of $264.2 million (54% from silver sales), representing a 94% increase compared to $136.2 million in the second quarter of 2024. This was primarily attributed to a 42% increase in AgEq payable ounces sold and a 24% rise in the average realized silver price which reached $34.62 per AgEq ounce during the quarter. Higher Mine Operating Earnings (+$33.9 million Y/Y): The Company achieved quarterly mine operating earnings of $49.4 million, representing a significant increase compared to $15.5 million in Q2 2024. Excluding non-cash depletion expense, the Company generated mine operating earnings of $100.9 million. Record Earnings Before Income Tax, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") (+$98.7 million Y/Y): EBITDA for the quarter was a record $119.9 million, representing a significant increase compared to $21.2 million in the second quarter of 2024. Net Earnings (+$104.8 million Y/Y): Net earnings for the quarter were $56.6 million (EPS of $0.11) compared to a net loss of $48.3 million (EPS of ($0.17)) in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in net earnings was primarily driven by higher mine operating earnings and benefitted from a non-cash deferred income tax recovery of $39.6 million (EPS of $0.08), compared to a non-cash deferred income tax expense of $22.6 million (EPS of ($0.08)) in the second quarter of 2024, and was partially offset by a higher non-cash depletion and depreciation expense. Additionally, the Company, as expected, incurred higher general and administrative costs related to the integration of the Los Gatos Silver Mine. The Company expects to realize significant synergies and cost reductions after the integration of Los Gatos is complete. Adjusted Net Earnings (+$38.8 million Y/Y): Adjusted net earnings, excluding non-cash or non-recurring items such as deferred income tax, share-based payments, abnormal costs, and unrealized gains/losses on marketable securities, were $18.4 million (adjusted EPS of $0.04), representing a significant increase compared to the adjusted net loss of $20.4 million (adjusted EPS of ($0.07)) in the second quarter of 2024. Cash Flow from Operations (+$91.1 million Y/Y): Operating cash flow before changes in working capital and taxes in the quarter was a record $114.9 million or $0.24 per share, representing a significant increase compared to $23.8 million or $0.08 per share in the second quarter of 2024. Record Free Cash Flow (+$71.4 million Y/Y): The Company generated a quarterly record of $77.9 million in free cash flow in the second quarter after making a $30.6 million income tax true-up payment related to 2024 taxes, compared to $6.4 million in free cash flow in the second quarter of 2024. A portion of this free cash flow is being reinvested into growth capital, primarily focused on exploration and development projects, to enhance confidence in resource estimates and extend the life-of-mine across the operations. Record Cash Position: During the quarter, the Company increased its treasury position to a record total of $510.1 million, consisting of $384.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and $125.3 million in restricted cash. Liquidity also reached a record $583.8 million, consisting of $444.1 million of working capital and $139.6 million of undrawn revolving credit facility, excluding $125.3 million held in restricted cash. Cash Costs (-1% Y/Y): Consolidated cash costs of $15.08 per AgEq ounce for the quarter were a slight improvement when compared with $15.29 per AgEq ounce in the second quarter of 2024. All-In Sustaining Cost ("AISC") (-3% Y/Y): Consolidated AISC in the quarter was $21.02 per AgEq ounce, representing a 3% decrease from $21.64 per AgEq ounce in the second quarter of 2024. Continued success at First Mint (+$4.5 million Y/Y): First Mint, LLC, the Company's 100%-owned minting facility, generated quarterly sales of $7.8 million compared to $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2024. Held Inventory: The Company held 424,272 silver ounces in finished goods inventory as at June 30, 2025, inclusive of coins and bullion.

Sustainability Recognition: As of July 2025, ISS ESG upgraded First Majestic to Prime ESG investment status, recognizing the Company's strong sustainability performance. Additionally, First Majestic scored 44/100 in the latest S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment, ranking in the top 26% of companies in the metals and mining industry. Purchased Common Shares: The Company purchased and cancelled an aggregate of 506,000 common shares at an average price of CAD$7.94 per share through the facilities of the TSX pursuant to its normal course issuer bid during the second quarter of 2025. Second Quarter Dividend: The Company declared a cash dividend of $0.0048 per common share for the second quarter of 2025 for shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 29, 2025, to be paid out on or about September 15, 2025.

The Company reports certain non-GAAP measures which include cash costs per AgEq ounce produced, cash costs per Au ounce produced, AISC per AgEq ounce produced, all-in sustaining cost per Au ounce produced, total production cost per tonne, average realized silver price per AgEq ounce sold, average realized Au price per ounce sold, working capital, adjusted EPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow. These measures are widely used in the mining industry as a benchmark for performance, but do not have a standardized meaning under the Company's financial reporting framework and the methods used by the Company to calculate such measures may differ from methods used by other companies with similar descriptions. See "Non-GAAP Measures" at the end of this news release for further details of these measures. SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS The Company generated record quarterly revenue of $264.2 million in the second quarter of 2025, with 54% derived from silver sales, representing a 94% increase compared to $136.2 million of revenue generated in the same period in the prior year. This was primarily attributable to a 42% increase in payable AgEq ounces sold, mainly driven by: the addition of the Los Gatos Silver Mine to the Company's portfolio of operating mines, which contributed $103.1 million in revenue; a notable 17% production increase at San Dimas, which contributed $65.1 million in revenue; and continued strong performance at Santa Elena, which contributed $74.5 million in revenue. Further, the average realized silver price increased by 24% during the quarter to $34.62 per ounce compared to the second quarter of 2024. For the second consecutive quarter, the Company reported a record-high treasury balance of $510.1 million, despite making a $30.6 million tax installment payment and the 2024 annual bonus payments, consisting of $384.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and $125.3 million in restricted cash. This represents an increase of 65% compared to a total treasury balance of $308.3 million at December 31, 2024 (consisting of $202.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and $106.1 million in restricted cash). Additionally, working capital reached a record high of $444.1 million, representing a 98% increase compared to $224.5 million in working capital at December 31, 2024. The Company achieved mine operating earnings of $49.4 million, representing a significant increase of $33.9 million compared to mine operating earnings of $15.5 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was mainly driven by the addition of the Los Gatos Silver Mine, which contributed $20.6 million in mine operating earnings during the quarter. Additionally, the improvement in performance at San Dimas and La Encantada increased mine operating earnings by $6.7 million and $4.4 million, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2024. These increases in mine operating earnings were partially offset by higher contractor and energy costs at San Dimas that supported improvements in production. Additionally, maintenance costs were higher as a result of weather-related power outages at San Dimas, La Encantada and Los Gatos in late June. Mine operating earnings were further impacted by a higher non-cash depletion expense, primarily driven by the addition of Los Gatos and increased overall production. Operating cash flow before changes in working capital and taxes in the quarter was a record $114.9 million, representing a significant increase compared to $23.8 million in the second quarter of 2024. This was primarily driven by the $76.0 million increase in mine operating earnings, excluding depletion, depreciation and amortization, compared to the second quarter of 2024. EBITDA for the quarter was a record $119.9 million, representing a significant increase compared to $21.2 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in EBITDA was primarily attributable to the increase in mine operating earnings. Adjusted EBITDA normalized for non-cash or non-recurring items such as share-based payments, abnormal costs, and unrealized gains on marketable securities for the quarter was $125.3 million, representing a significant increase compared to $26.4 million in the second quarter of 2024. Net earnings for the quarter were $56.6 million (EPS of $0.11) representing a significant increase compared to a net loss of $48.3 million (EPS of ($0.17)) in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in net earnings was primarily attributed to higher mine operating earnings compared to the second quarter of 2024. This was partially offset by a non-cash depletion and depreciation expense of $73.7 million (EPS of ($0.15)), compared to $31.6 million (EPS of ($0.11)) in the second quarter of 2024 driven by higher production and the addition of Los Gatos, and a non-cash deferred income tax recovery of $39.6 million (EPS of $0.08), compared to a non-cash deferred income tax expense of $22.6 million (EPS ($0.08)) in the second quarter of 2024. Additionally, the Company incurred higher general and administrative costs related to the integration of the Los Gatos Silver Mine, including costs associated with insurance, travel, legal fees, system implementation and consulting services. The Company expects to realize significant synergies and cost reductions after the integration of Los Gatos is complete. Adjusted net earnings normalized for non-cash or non-recurring items such as share-based payments, unrealized losses on marketable securities, acquisition costs and deferred income tax for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was $18.4 million (adjusted EPS of $0.04), representing a significant increase compared to the adjusted net loss of $20.4 million (adjusted EPS of ($0.07)) in the second quarter of 2024. SECOND QUARTER OPERATIONAL RESULTS The table below represents the quarterly operating and cost performance results at each of the Company's four producing mines during the quarter.

The metal prices that were used to calculate the silver equivalent ounces were, silver: $33.46/oz, gold: $3,270.57/oz, lead: $0.88/lb., zinc: $1.20/lb. Attributable silver equivalent ounces for Los Gatos includes 16,063,947 lbs. zinc and 9,014,545 lbs. lead (70%). The Company produced 7.9 million attributable AgEq ounces in Q2 2025 representing a 48% increase compared to 5.3 million AgEq ounces produced in Q2 2024. Furthermore, the Company reported strong quarterly silver production of 3.7 million silver ounces representing a 76% increase compared to 2.1 million silver ounces produced in Q2 2024. Total silver production in the quarter included 1.5 million ounces of attributable silver production from Los Gatos as well as a 9% increase at San Dimas compared to Q2 2024 primarily due to operational improvements. Consolidated cash cost per attributable payable AgEq ounce for the quarter was $15.08, representing a slight improvement when compared with $15.29 per ounce in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease in cash costs per AgEq ounce was primarily due to a 48% increase in AgEq ounces produced, driven by the attributable production increase of 2.4 million AgEq ounces from Los Gatos, along with a 17% increase in AgEq production at San Dimas as a result of operational efficiencies and increased plant throughput rates. The decrease was partially offset by higher contractor and energy costs at San Dimas that helped improve and support production, as well as higher maintenance costs as a result of weather-related power outages at San Dimas, La Encantada and Los Gatos in late June. AISC per attributable payable AgEq ounce in the second quarter of 2025 was $21.02, representing a 3% decrease compared to $21.64 per ounce in the second quarter of 2024. This was primarily attributable to the decrease in cash costs, partially offset by an increase in profit sharing per AgEq ounce relating to the prior year, which was paid in the quarter. Q2 2025 DIVIDEND ANNOUNCEMENT The Company is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend in the amount of $0.0048 per common share for the second quarter of 2025. The dividend will be paid to holders of record of First Majestic's common shares as of the close of business on August 29, 2025, and will be paid out on or about September 15, 2025. Under the Company's dividend policy, the quarterly dividend per common share is targeted to equal approximately 1% of the Company's net quarterly revenues divided by the Company's then outstanding common shares. Note: In the case of net revenues generated from the Los Gatos Silver Mine (the Company holds a 70% interest in the Los Gatos Joint Venture that owns and operates the mine), 70% of the net revenue from such mine, being the revenue that is attributable to the Company, is used for the purposes of the Company's quarterly dividend calculation. The amount and distribution dates of future dividends remain at the discretion of the Board of Directors. This dividend qualifies as an "eligible dividend" for Canadian income tax purposes. Dividends paid to shareholders outside Canada (non-resident investors) may be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding taxes.
