Dr. Peter Megaw, MAGs Chief Exploration Officer commented, With the Zacatecas Silver District consolidating, MAG was approached by a number of companies looking to acquire its holdings in the camp. MAG chose to partner with Defiance because of our long-held interest in the exploration potential of the Veta Grande Vein, the second most important vein in the billion-ounce Zacatecas silver district. A number of high-grade ore-shoots have been found along its length and the ability to expand exploration to a continuous 5.6 km stretch of this historically under-explored vein greatly enhances the potential for discovering more. This strategic interest in Defiance provides MAG with exposure to the upside of future discoveries as their exploration of this important vein advances.
