MAG Silver (MAG) confirmed that the final testing of the downstream power distribution and control systems at the Juanicipio Project is complete.
The Juanicipio Project is located in the Fresnillo Silver Trend in Mexico.
The entire system has now been energized, and Juanicipio has been connected to the national power grid.
This concludes the additional testing requested by the state-owned power company, CFE (Comisión Federal de Electricidad), to verify compatibility between new and updated substation equipment installed by Fresnillo on behalf of Fresnillo and MAG Silver as part of the project and existing older CFE infrastructure.
“Connection to the power grid is a long-awaited milestone for the Juanicipio Project, our stakeholders and shareholders alike, and we are thankful for the understanding and patience as the final steps to connect the plant to the national power grid were concluded,” said George Paspalas, MAG’s President and CEO.
“We now turn to working with Fresnillo to maximize value generation from Juanicipio as we head into ramp-up and full-scale operations with Juanicipio graduating into a Tier-1 silver producer.”
Once commissioning is concluded, high-grade mineralized material will be processed at the Juanicipio plant and, to the extent mining rates allow, will continue to be processed at the nearby Saucito and Fresnillo operations.
MAG Silver Corp. is a Canadian development and exploration company focused on becoming a top-tier primary silver mining company by exploring and advancing high-grade, district-scale, precious metals projects in the Americas.
