First Majestic schedules investments for US$208 million

First Majestic has budgeted $207.8 million for 2022 as supporting capital and expansion capital for investments in property, plant and equipment, mine development and exploration.

The company is in the business of producing, developing, exploring and acquiring mineral properties with a focus on silver and gold production in Mexico and the United States.

Whereas maintenance capital consists of capital expenditures necessary to maintain current operations, expansion capital is earmarked for growth projects to expand current operations.

Thus, a total of 86.3 million dollars was allocated for support capital and 121.5 million dollars were programmed for expansion projects in 2022.

There can be no guarantee that such cost estimates will be accurate.

In fact, First Majestic may modify its capital allocation to anticipate revised strategic planning, declines in metal prices or other external economic conditions.

Actual costs may vary from estimates depending on a variety of factors, many of which are beyond the company’s control.

Failure to meet cost estimates or material increases in costs could have a material adverse impact on the company’s future cash flows, profitability, results of operations and financial condition.
