The Company is continuing to take steps to bring the Company into good standing, evaluate its existing project portfolio and assess opportunities for moving forward. As previously disclosed, in connection with the revocation of cease trade orders in early February, the Company filed an updated resource report on its flagship Tejamen silver project in Durango, Mexico. The Company is currently evaluating viable options to progress the Tejamen silver project including having discussions with potential joint venture partners. The Company plans to continue its efforts to create value from its portfolio of properties for shareholders.

First Mexican Gold Corp. wishes to advise that as a result of a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission, we are issuing the following news release to clarify our disclosure. First Mexican Gold wishes to advise the public that its October 28, 2014 technical report, as currently filed, does not comply with the requirements of NI 43-101. As such, the resource estimates on its Guadalupe project are not supported by the compliant NI 43-101 technical report, contrary to NI 43-101, and that the resource estimates should not be relied on until they have been verified and supported by a revised technical report. The Company is working with its consultants and Qualified Persons to file a revised technical report as soon as possible and will keep the shareholders apprised of its progress.

The net proceeds from the sale of the Common Shares will be used towards the mill and mine expansion at La Guitarra to 1,000 tpd, to further advance the roasting analysis and testing at La Encantada, and to allow the Company to increase the amount of development and exploration across the Company’s six operating mines as well as for general corporate and working capital purposes.
