VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MAG Silver Corp. (TSX / NYSE American: MAG) ('MAG', or the 'Company') announces the Company's unaudited consolidated financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 ('Q1 2025'). For details of the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2025 ('Q1 2025 Financial Statements') and management's discussion and analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2025 ('Q1 2025 MD&A'), please see the Company's filings on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval Plus ('SEDAR+') at ( ) or on the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval ('EDGAR') at ( ). All amounts herein are reported in thousands of United States dollars ('US$') unless otherwise specified (C$ refers to thousands of Canadian dollars). KEY HIGHLIGHTS (on a 100% basis unless otherwise noted) CORPORATE EXPLORATION JUANICIPIO RESULTS All results of Juanicipio in this section are on a 100% basis, unless otherwise noted. Operating Performance The following table and subsequent discussion provide a summary of the operating performance of Juanicipio for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, unless otherwise noted. During Q1 2025, a total of 347,467 tonnes of ore were mined. This represents an increase of 7% over Q1 2024. Increases in mined tonnages at Juanicipio have been driven by access to the full strike length of the deposit and the operational ramp-up of the mine towards steady state mining and milling targets. Mining rates for the quarter were 4,009 tonnes per day ('tpd'). During Q1 2025, a total of 337,017 tonnes of ore were processed through the Juanicipio plant. The 3% increase over Q1 2024 is mainly due to approximately 3% increase in availability of the Juanicipio processing plant, currently operating at or above nameplate per operating day, during 2025. The silver head grade and equivalent silver head grade for the ore processed in Q1 2025 were 430 g/t and 660 g/t (Q1 2024: 476 g/t and 713 g/t). The higher silver and lower base metal head grades in Q1 2024 were the result of processing ore from higher levels of the mine, characterized by elevated silver grade, compared to deeper areas in Q1 2025. Silver metallurgical recovery during Q1 2025 was 96% (Q1 2024: 89%) reflecting the commencement of commercial pyrite and gravimetric concentrate production during Q2 2024 delivering incremental silver and gold recovery paired with ongoing optimizations in the processing plant. The following table provides a summary of the total cash costs and all-in sustaining costs ('AISC') of Juanicipio for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024. The cash cost per silver ounce sold1 and cash cost per equivalent silver ounce sold1 for the three months ending March 31, 2025 were negative $0.91/oz and $8.50/oz (three months ended March 31, 2024: $2.50/oz and $8.66). The decrease in cash cost per silver ounce sold1 is predominantly attributable to higher by-product revenues, as a result of higher realized metal prices (mainly 44% higher gold and 16% higher zinc prices). Additionally, the lower cash cost per silver ounce sold1 and cash cost per equivalent silver ounce sold1 were impacted by 8% lower production cost and 11% lower treatment and refining costs. The all-in sustaining cost per ounce sold1 and all-in sustaining cost per equivalent silver once sold1 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $2.04/oz and $10.64/oz (three months ended March 31, 2024: $6.11/oz and $11.22/oz). The decrease in all-in sustaining cost per ounce sold1 and all-in sustaining cost per equivalent silver once sold1 was primarily due to the decrease in cash cost per silver ounce sold1 and cash cost per equivalent silver ounce sold1 described above. Additionally, the lower all-in sustaining cost per ounce sold1 and all-in sustaining cost per equivalent silver once sold1 were impacted by 14% lower sustaining capital expenditures and 28% lower general and administrative expenses. Financial Results The following table presents excerpts of the financial results of Juanicipio for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Sales increased by $51,546 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, due to 37% higher realized metal prices and $1,125 lower treatment and refining charges driven mainly by updated favorable benchmark treatment and refining pricing terms. Production costs decreased by $3,124 mainly due to lower mining costs ($3,357) driven by lower labour, contractors and materials costs. Depreciation decreased by $1,455 impacted by an increase in updated reserve base (yearly assessment) for the purpose of units of production depreciation calculation. Cash operating margin (gross profit plus depreciation divided by sales) increased from 70% to 81%, mainly due to positive commodity price movements, lower treatment and refining costs and reduced operating costs. Other expenses decreased by $5,091 mainly as a result of lower consulting and administrative expenses ($1,186), lower interest expense ($3,900) as Juanicipio reduced its outstanding shareholder loans balance by $209,920 over the course of 2024, and positive foreign exchange differences ($2,029) offset by higher selling costs and other duties ($2,023) which were impacted by higher metal prices and the commencement of commercial pyrite concentrate production during Q2 2024. Taxes increased by $24,091 mainly due to higher taxable profits generated during Q1 2025. Gross Profit from Ore Processed at Juanicipio Plant (100% basis) Sales and treatment charges are recorded on a provisional basis and are adjusted based on final assay and pricing adjustments in accordance with the offtake contracts.

MINERALRITE Corporation [Symbol: RITE] Announces Filing of FORM 10-12g through EDGAR
Dallas, Texas--(Newsfile Corp. - February 19, 2025) - MINERALRITE TM Corporation (OTC Pink: RITE) (the 'Company' or 'RITE') has filed FORM 10-12g with the SEC to begin the process of becoming fully reporting. Access to the filing is available through the EDGAR System, which is also known as the SEC's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System. RITE's Form 10-12g and other filings can all be located online at Information about all companies that report through the EDGAR System can be searched using the Company Search bar found on the EDGAR landing page located at Companies can be searched using their ticker symbol, which in the case of MineralRite Corporation is RITE, or through a company's unique CIK code, which in RITE's case is 1096296. For the convenience of RITE's shareholders, the Form 10-12g has also been posted on RITE's Investor Relations page which is located at should also pick up the link from EDGAR and post it under RITE's Filings and Disclosure section. 'The Form 10-12g filing culminates a little more than a full year of getting this Company cleaned up and moving in the RITE direction,' said James Burgauer, RITE's President and CEO. 'As I said when I first took over - first we need to get the Company foundationally clean and stable. Then we need to start acquiring a base of assets. After that, we need to raise a bit of money to start developing, upgrading, and certifying the true value of the assets that we acquired while simultaneously positioning RITE to undertake a more substantial capital raise. To facilitate that RITE will need to start working with the brokerage community to get them interested and behind the stock, which will, in turn, help us get the necessary funds raised to get those properties into production. It's been my belief all along that by having both PCAOB audited financials and filing a Form 10-12g, the Company will have gone a long way towards getting its stock more accepted and more actively traded by the brokerage community. Once these things are accomplished, RITE can work towards getting a sponsor for a 15c-211 and get the eligible for Unsolicited Quotes Only banner lifted. It's really a fairly simple and straightforward plan - and I believe that RITE's management team has been doing a most excellent job in executing it.' 'Of course, the SEC still needs to review and comment on the Form 10-12g filing, and that will happen in due time,' said Burgauer. 'We believe that we have done a very thorough job to present full, fair, and accurate disclosures about the Company. Of course, we await any forthcoming staff comments, suggestions and improvements.'
