    VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - March 16, 2017) -

    THIS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.

    First Majestic Silver Corp. ("First Majestic" or the "Company") (TSX:FR)(NYSE:AG)(FRANKFURT:FMV)(BVM:AG) announces that its board of directors has approved the extension of its share repurchase program (the "Share Repurchase") pursuant to a normal course issuer bid in the open market through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") or alternative Canadian market places over the next 12 months. Pursuant to the Share Repurchase, the Company proposes to repurchase up to 8,249,204 common shares of the Company which represents 5% of the 164,984,089 issued and outstanding shares of the Company as of March 10, 2017.

    In order to implement the Share Repurchase, First Majestic has received TSX approval of its notice of intention to make a normal course issuer bid. The notice provides that First Majestic may, during the 12 month period commencing on March 21, 2017 and ending on or before March 20, 2018, purchase up to 8,249,204 common shares through the facilities of the TSX and alternative Canadian marketplaces.

    In accordance with TSX rules, daily purchases made by the Company on the TSX will not exceed 362,507 common shares, or 25% of First Majestic's average daily trading volume of 1,450,027 common shares on the TSX for the six calendar months preceding the date of the acceptance of the original notice, subject to certain prescribed exemptions.

    The Company did not repurchase any shares for cancellation under its prior normal course issuer bid which commenced on March 17, 2016 and expired on March 16, 2017.

    First Majestic will make no purchases of common shares other than open-market purchases. The price that the Company will pay for any common shares will be the prevailing market price of such shares at the time of acquisition. All common shares purchased pursuant to the Share Repurchase will be cancelled.

    The Company believes that, from time to time, the market price of its common shares may not fully reflect the underlying value of the Company's business and its future business prospects. The Company believes that at such times the purchase of common shares would be in the best interests of the Company. Such purchases are expected to benefit all remaining shareholders by increasing their equity interest in the Company.
