VANCOUVER, Nov. 1 /CNW/ - First Majestic Resource Corp. is pleased to
announce that it has signed a Letter Agreement with Compania Minera Rio Frio,
S.A. de C.V., a privately owned Mexican mining company, for the purchase of a
100% interest in a presently operating silver mine known as the La Candelaria
Silver Mine. Included in this purchase is an operating flotation mill with a
present capacity of 100 tpd and surrounding property consisting of over   
1,384 hectares. This large land package is in a very prolific and old silver
district in Mexico and includes other old mines such as the El Orito and     
La Fortuna silver mines and others yet to be reviewed. This purchase, upon
closing, will immediately result in the Company owning and operating two
producing silver mines in Mexico.
Under the terms of the Letter Agreement the Company made an initial
payment of US$100,000. A due-diligence confirmation period of three months has
commenced. Subject to a successful completion of due-diligence and certain
other conditions a further payment of US$500,000 will become due and the
issuance of 1,000,000 common shares will be paid. In addition, execution of
formal documentation and title transfers will take place and a formal closing
will occur on or before January 31, 2006. An additional payment of
US$2,000,000 divided between six payments on each six month anniversary up to
the 36th month are due as follows; US$250,000 on the 12th month anniversary;
US$350,000 on the 18th month anniversary; US$400,000 on the 24th month
anniversary; US$500,000 on the 30th month anniversary and a final payment of
US$500,000 on the 36 month anniversary from closing along with issuance of an
additional 400,000 common shares.
The Candelaria Mine is located in the Hostotipaquillo silver mining
district in the Jalisco State in Mexico where over 400 years of mining
activity has taken place. The overall property hosts a very large and prolific
network of veins and brachiated ore bodies within the 1,384 hectares land
package. The property was originally mined by the Spaniards late in the 1500's
and had been mined intermittently until 1974. Since that time the district has
been mostly inactive until Minera Rio Frio was able to assemble this
attractive package of mining claims and began operating the flotation mill
again in 2003.
During the due diligence program, the Company intends to carry out an
exploration program which will include surface geology and underground and
surface sampling in order to define the available ore resources. Based on the
results and if resources are confirmed, the intent is to continue production
in the open pit area in the Candelaria mine to produce ore for the mill and at
the same time, start the development of underground resources at the three
mines located within the mining claims. Production at the mill during the
first six months will continue at a rate of approximately 50-100 tpd with an
anticipated increase to 200 tpd and within a year anticipated increases in
production to 400 tpd.
The Company will manage and continue to operate the mine during the due
diligence period. Average ore grades being fed to the mill are presently    
350 grams/tonne silver and 2 grams/tonne gold. Of additional interest are old
tailings on the property estimated at 150,000 tonnes grading 300 grams/tonne
of silver and 1 gram per tonne of gold. Historical records indicate the
presence of several potentially important silver mineralized areas. During the
due diligence period, geological mapping, extensive sampling and budgeting for
development of the known mineralized structures and expansion of the mill will
be completed. A complete NI 43-101 Technical Report will be prepared and filed
with the TSX Venture Exchange and posted on www.sedar.com in support of this
transaction.
Further to the terms and conditions of the Letter Agreement outlined
herein, the closing is subject to final legal due diligence and regulatory
approval.
