Mani Alkhafaji, President & Chief Corporate Development Officer of First Majestic Silver Corp. (NYSE: AG) (TSX: AG) (FSE: FMV), joins us at the 2026 Rule Symposium for Natural Resources in Boca Raton to make the case that triple-digit silver is a matter of when, not if. He points to First Majestic’s newest milestone at its Santa Elena mine in Sonora, Mexico, where the company recently secured construction permits for the Santo Niño and Navidad portals, clearing the way for underground development that could bring higher-grade ore into production sooner than the market expects.
The conversation also covers why First Majestic is staying disciplined and silver-focused on acquisitions, and what silver’s leverage is already doing for the company’s free cash flow. Alkhafaji gives updates on the Jerritt Canyon restart in Nevada, the throughput ramp-up at the company’s Los Gatos mine, and the performance of First Mint, the company’s in-house minting business, along with what he considers a successful next 12 months for First Majestic.
