First Majestic: Built for the New Silver Supercycle
The World’s Purest Silver Miner Is Betting Big on today’s silver bull market. First Majestic Silver’s VP of Corporate Development, Mani Alkhafaji, joins Trey Reik at the Wealthion–SCP Global Silver Conference to share how the company is positioning itself for what it calls the start of a new silver supercycle. With 55 % silver exposure, a $970 million acquisition of Gatos, and three cornerstone mines in Mexico, First Majestic is leveraging its scale, balance-sheet strength, and new vertical integration strategy, including its own Las Vegas mint, to capture more value from rising silver prices.
They discuss:
- Why maintaining true silver purity is getting harder across the mining industry
- How Mexico’s new government is reopening the door to mining investment
- Why silver’s breakout above $50 may only be the beginning
- The gold-to-silver ratio and the math behind a $100 silver thesis
- How First Majestic is scaling production beyond 30 million silver-equivalent ounces per year
