(1) Mineral Resources have been classified in accordance with the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, whose definitions are incorporated by reference into NI 43-101. (2) In all cases, metal prices considered for Mineral Resource estimates were $19.00 /oz Ag, $1,300 /oz Au, $1.00 /lb Pb, and $1.20 /lb Zn. (3) The Mineral Resources information provided above for La Parrilla, Del Toro and San Martín is based on internal estimates prepared as of December 31, 2016. The information provided was reviewed and validated by the Company’s internal Qualified Person, Mr. Jesus M. Velador Beltran, MMSA, QP Geology, who has the appropriate relevant qualifications, and experience in geology and resource estimation. (4) Mineral Resource estimates for La Guitarra are based on information contained in the 2015 Technical Report compiled by First Majestic with contribution of Amec Foster Wheeler Americas Ltd. which were updated by First Majestic with information to 31 December, 2016. (5) Mineral Resource estimates for La Encantada are based on information contained in the 2016 Technical Report compiled by First Majestic with contribution of Amec Foster Wheeler Americas Ltd. which were updated by First Majestic with information to 31 December, 2016. (6) Mineral Resource estimates for Santa Elena are internal estimates based on the 2014 Update to Santa Elena Pre-Feasibility Study Technical Report compiled by SilverCrest and re- addressed to First Majestic in October, 2015. These estimates were reviewed and validated by the Company’s internal Qualified Person, Mr. Jesus M. Velador Beltran, MMSA, QP Geology (7) Silver-equivalent grade is estimated considering: metal price assumptions, metallurgical recovery for the corresponding mineral type/mineral process and the metal payable of the corresponding contract of each mine. Estimation details are listed in each mine section of the 2016 Annual Information Form. (8) The cut-off grades for Mineral Resources are different for all mines. The cut-off grades are listed in each mine section of the 2016 Annual Information Form. (9) Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources are reported inclusive of Mineral Reserves.

(1) Plomosas historical estimates figures are taken from Grupo México’s estimates prepared in 2001. (2) Tonnage is expressed in thousands of tonnes, metal content is expressed in thousands of ounces. (3) The Company’s Qualified Persons have not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current Mineral Resources or Mineral Reserves and have been coordinating the work for the verification of the information supporting the historical estimates at Plomos as. The historical estimates at Plomosas do not conform to NI 43-101 for reporting purposes; as such, the Company is not treating these historical estimates as current Mineral Reserves or Mineral Resources. Since the historical estimates do not have demonstrated current economic viability, these estimates should not be relied upon until the verification process and due diligence in progress by the Company's Qualified Person is completed. (4) In order to verify or upgrade the historical estimates, the Company has started a diamond drilling program at the Ros ario and San Juan mines. The drilling program is designed to confirm the historical estimates reported by Grupo México and will allow the Company to plan a s econd exploration program focused on locating extensions of the known mineralization. Other work required to verify the historical estimates as current includes, but it is not limited to: re-survey of underground workings, re-survey of available exploration drill-hole monuments, review of drilling, sampling and assays databases, and the re-assessment of the estimates following CIM Estimation of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves Best Practice Guidelines and CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves.
La Luz Historical Estimates Plomosas Historical Estimates
(1) The La Luz resource estimates are taken f rom the Real de Catorce Property Technical Report dated July 25, 2008 and the Real de Catorce Property Technical Report dated July 30, 2007. The Company ’s Qualif ied Persons consider that those reports do not ref lect current economic conditions and are working on apply ing similar economic inputs to the La Luz Silv er Project to those applied to the other properties. (2) Tonnage is expressed in thousands of tonnes, metal content is expressed in thousands of ounces. (3) The Company ’s Qualif ied Persons hav e not done suf f icient work to classif y the historical estimates as current Mineral Res ources or Mineral Reserv es and have been coordinating the work f or the v erif ication of the inf ormation supporting the historical estimates at La Luz. The historical estimates at La Luz do not conf orm to NI 43-101 f or reporting purposes; as such, the Company is not treating these historical estimates as current Mineral Reserv es or Mineral Resources. Since the historical estimates do not hav e demonstrated current economic v iability , these estimates should not be relied upon until the v erif ication process and due diligence in progress by the Company 's Qualif ied Person is completed. (4) In order to v erif y or upgrade the historical estimates, the Company will need to implement a diamond drilling program at the La Luz mines. The drilling program is designed to conf irm the historical estimates reported in prev ious Technical reports and will allow the Company to plan a second exploration program f ocused on locating extensions of the known mineralization. Other work required to v erif y the historical estimates as current includes, but it is not limited to: re-surv ey of underground workings, re-surv ey of av ailable exploration drill-hole monuments, rev iew of drilling, sampling and assay s databases, and the re-assessment of the estimates f ollowing CIM Estimation of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserv es Best Practice Guidelines and CIM Def inition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserv es.
