Mag Silver CorpMAG.TOBUYSep 07, 2023Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Sep 05, 2025. Market Open.
We think MAG fits the bill. Its Mexican (safe) mine only recently went into production, and 2024 will be the first year of material revenue/cash flow for the company. The stock is acting well this year as it gets re-rated as a producer. It is not overly expensive and has good growht/exploration potential.

Market timing? Is now the time to buy something like Mag Silver (MAG-T) and buy something like Manulife (MFC-T) after a market correction in Sept/Oct? Trying to time this market is very difficult. If the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index breaks 2350, get out of the way. There is probably at least a 20% downside in the market, if history is any guide. That is 2.5X BV.
Mexican silver. A joint venture with Fresnillo, the largest primary silver producer globally. These are the extension of the veins in the Fresno District onto the joint venture ground, which is 44% owned by MAG Silver. High grade, very robust economic. They are finding at depth in the Waldo Canyon that the grade is getting better. That has given the joint venture cause to increase the scope of the project. (Analysts’ price target is $25.25.)
Expectations got way too high a couple of years ago. Still a fair amount of exploration and operating upside. High quality silver companies are rare. At the end of a precious metals bull market, silver stocks tend to outperform.
