CORPORATE STRUCTURE

MAG Silver Corp. was originally incorporated under the Company Act (British Columbia) on April 21, 1999 under the name “583882 B.C. Ltd.”. On June 28, 1999, in anticipation of becoming a capital pool company, the Company changed its name to “Mega Capital Investments Inc.” On April 22, 2003, the Company changed its name to “MAG Silver Corp.” to reflect its new business upon the completion of its qualifying transaction on the TSX Venture Exchange. Effective March 29, 2004, the Company Act (British Columbia) was replaced by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Accordingly, on July 27, 2005, the Company transitioned under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and adopted new articles and concurrently increased its authorized capital from 1,000,000,000 Common Shares to an unlimited number of Common Shares without par value and an unlimited number of Preferred Shares without par value.

The Company’s head office is located at Suite 770, 800 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 2V6. The Company’s registered office is located at 2600 – 595 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia Canada, V7X 1L3.

Intercorporate Relationships

The Company is the registered owner of 99.99% of the issued Class I shares of Minera Los Lagartos, S.A. DE C. V. (“Lagartos”), a corporation incorporated under the laws of Mexico. The remaining 0.01% of the issued Class I shares of Lagartos are held by Dan MacInnis, a director of the Company. The Company effectively has 100% beneficial ownership of Lagartos. The registered and records office of Lagartos is located at Paseo de Los Tamarindos 60, Bosques de Las Lomas, 05120 Mexico, D.F., Mexico.

Lagartos is the registered owner of a 44% interest in Minera Juanicipio, S.A. DE C.V. (“Minera Juanicipio”), and Fresnillo plc (“Fresnillo”), a London Stock Exchange listed company that is controlled by Industrias Peñoles, S.A. DE C.V. (“Peñoles”), holds the remaining 56% interest in Minera Juanicipio. In December 2007, Lagartos and Peñoles established Minera Juanicipio to hold and operate all mineral and surface rights related to the Juanicipio property located in Zacatecas State, Mexico. Minera Juanicipio is governed by a shareholders agreement dated October 10, 2005 (the “Shareholders Agreement”). Pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement each shareholder is to provide funding to Minera Juanicipio pro rata to its interest in Minera Juanicipio, with Fresnillo contributing 56% and MAG, through Lagartos, contributing 44% (the “Juanicipio Joint Venture”). See more detail at “Description of the Business – The Juanicipio Property” below. The registered and records office of Minera Juanicipio is located at Moliere 222- 4th Floor, Los Morales-Palmas, C.P. 11540, México, D.F.

On October 18, 2010 the Company internally restructured its Mexican property holdings. Two new Mexican subsidiaries were created, Minera Pozo Seco S.A. de C.V. (“Minera Pozo Seco”) and Minera Sierra Vieja S.A. de C.V., (“Sierra Vieja”), and properties with common attributes were grouped together in order to provide the Company with more flexibility in managing its properties. The Cinco de Mayo Property was transferred to Minera Pozo Seco, and Guigui and various other properties and property option interests held at the time were transferred to Sierra Vieja. The Lagartos properties and its 44% interest in Minera Juanicipio remain in Lagartos. See Exhibit I below.

The Company, through various subsidiaries (as detailed in Exhibit 1 below), is the beneficial owner of 99.99% of the issued Class I shares of both Minera Pozo Seco and Sierra Vieja. The remaining 0.01% of the issued Class I shares of each of Minera Pozo Seco and Sierra Vieja are held by Dan MacInnis, a director of the Company. The Company effectively has 100% beneficial ownership of both Minera Pozo Seco and Sierra Vieja. The registered and records office of each is located at Paseo de Los Tamarindos No. 60, 3rd floor, Colonia Bosques de Las Lomas, 05120 Mexico, Federal District, Mexico.

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESS

MAG is a company based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of district scale projects located in the Mexican Silver Belt. The Company’s Common Shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol MAG and on the NYSE MKT LLC (formerly NYSE.A) under the symbol MVG. The Company is a “reporting issuer” in the Provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador and is a reporting “foreign issuer” in the United States of America.

The Company’s two material properties at the date of this AIF are its 44% joint venture interest in the Juanicipio property (where underground development is ongoing) and the 100% owned Cinco de Mayo Property (which hosts the Upper Manto Ag-Au-Zn-Pb Deposit and the Pegaso discovery). The Juanicipio property is the most advanced and has been the most significant valuation factor for the Company. Although a formal production decision has not been made at Minera Juanicipio, on October 28, 2013, underground development commenced on the Juanicipio property, and has been ongoing since then, and along with exploration drilling on the property. The Company’s share of Juanicipio exploration and development costs are funded primarily through its 44% interest in Minera Juanicipio, and to a lesser extent, costs are incurred directly by MAG related to direct project oversight of the ramp development, and of the field and drilling programs executed on the Juanicipio property. Exploration and drilling on Cinco de Mayo and on the Company’s other properties is managed directly by MAG, through contracted service providers in Mexico (drilling companies, assay companies, etc.) as the Company has no direct employees in Mexico. All the work is overseen and supervised at industry market rates, by Cascabel and IMDEX, related companies to MAG (see “INTEREST OF MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS” below).

Three Year History

Year Ended December 31, 2012

In September 2012, the Company closed a brokered private placement for 3,526,210 common shares of the Company at a price of C$9.40 per share for gross proceeds of $33,451,321. The intended use the net proceeds from the offering ($31,286,353) was to fund its share of the 2012 approved permitting and underground development program for Juanicipio (see “Juanicipio Property” below), for the exploration advancement of Cinco de Mayo and its other properties, and for general corporate purposes.

In 2012, costs were incurred dealing and negotiating with a dissident group of MAG shareholders which collectively held approximately 9.76% of MAG's outstanding shares at the time. The Company ultimately reached an agreement with the group on September 4, 2012 whereby MAG agreed to nominate Richard Clark and Peter Barnes for election to the board at the annual and special meeting (“Annual Meeting”) of shareholders held on October 5, 2012. At the Annual Meeting, Mr. Clark and Mr. Barnes along with seven of the existing members of MAG's board were elected.

Operational highlights of 2012 include the following summary.

Juanicipio Property

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company independently incurred project oversight expenditures on the Juanicipio property of $879,851, and advanced an additional $3,697,760 to Minera Juanicipio with respect to its proportionate 44% share of joint venture expenditures.

Updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (“UPEA”)

In June 2012, the Company announced the results of an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment undertaken by AMC Mining Consultants (Canada) Ltd. (“AMC”) and a NI 43-101 technical report, entitled “Technical Report for Minera Juanicipio S.A. de C.V.” documenting the economic assessment, was filed on SEDAR on July 16, 2012 (“UPEA”). The UPEA was expected to provide an important catalyst for Minera Juanicipio and open a pathway for the next step in its development, and has formed the basis for the start of the underground development (see “Year ended December 31, 2013” below). The UPEA has since been superceded and replaced by the Technical Report in respect of the Juanicipio Project dated June 12, 2014 (see below).

Underground Development Program

With the completion of the UPEA, MAG and Fresnillo had a framework on which the joint venture Technical Committee could build upon for the continued advancement of the Juanicipio Project. On August 15, 2012, the Company announced that the board of directors of Minera Juanicipio had approved an initial development budget covering mine permitting, surface preparation and the commencement of the first 2,500 metres of underground decline development. The proposed work plan is based on recommendations provided to Minera Juanicipio in the UPEA. (and those recommendations are also contained in the June 12, 2014 Technical Report which subsequently superceded the UPEA and is described in detail below).

The development program is being managed by Fresnillo as operators of the Joint Venture. See “Risks Related to the Development of the Juanicipio Project” below.

Cinco de Mayo Property

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company incurred exploration and evaluation expenditures at the Cinco de Mayo Property in connection with approximately 33 thousand metres of drilling in 54 holes. Overall, the 2012 drilling demonstrated that mineralization is continuous from the Jose Manto through the Bridge Zone to Cinco Ridge, which is now collectively referred to as the “Upper Manto” to differentiate it from mineralization hit at depth in the “Pegaso Zone.”

Hole CM12-431: The Pegaso Zone

In mid-June 2012, exploration hole CM12-431 drilled deep beneath the overlap zone between the Bridge Zone and the Jose Manto, cut four significant sulphide intervals within a 300 metre wide skarn and marble zone. The largest and deepest interval was 61 metres of high-grade massive sulphides that lies behind (to the southwest of) the structures that host the Upper Manto mineralization. This is an entirely new mineralization zone named the “Pegaso Zone,” which shows all of the hallmarks of being a near-source part of the Carbonate Replacement Deposit (“CRD”) system that MAG has been systematically seeking at Cinco de Mayo. The Company believes that the mineralization in the upper intercepts of hole CM12-431 may connect to the high-grade silver-lead-zinc mineralization in the 4 kilometre long Upper Manto, indicating that continuous mineralization exists from 125 to 900 metres vertical depth.

Upper Manto Inferred Mineral Resource

In October 2012, the Company announced that Roscoe Postle Associates (“RPA”) completed the first independent Mineral Resource estimate for the Upper Manto (Bridge Zone/Jose Manto). Inferred Mineral Resources are estimated to be 12.45 million tonnes at 132 g/t (3.9 opt) silver, 0.24 g/t gold, 2.86% lead and 6.47% zinc (9.33% lead plus zinc). An economic cut-off grade set at a net smelter return (“NSR”) of US$100 per tonne was applied as the base case for this initial resource estimate. The NI 43-101 Technical Report, entitled “Technical Report on the Upper Manto Deposit, Chihuahua, Mexico” was filed on SEDAR on November 16, 2012.

Overall, the near-surface Upper Manto mineralization appears higher in silver and lead than the deeper Pegaso Zone mineralization which is richer in zinc, copper and gold. The combined vertical metals and alteration zoning and broadening of mineralization is typical in CRD systems worldwide and strongly indicates that the source intrusion is being approached. The overall strength and style of mineralization and alteration further indicate that this source zone may be very large. The strongest mineralization has been found within the overlap zone between the fault slices that host the shallow Jose Manto and the Bridge Zone, suggesting that this structurally complex zone acted as a major conduit for mineralizing fluids and perhaps intrusive emplacement. The degree of mineralization seen so far indicates that the source intrusion could be surrounded by very large-scale mineralization.

“Soil Use Change Permit” and surface access

As of May, 2012, exploration drilling permits in Mexico require a “Soil Use Change Permit,” reflecting conversion of land from agricultural to industrial use. These permits incorporate verification of mining concession title, compliance with environmental norms, and surface access permissions. During the latter part of 2012, the Company was in the process of negotiating ordinary course surface access permissions with the Ejido Benito Juarez (the “Ejido”) as the final component in the application for the necessary Soil Use Change Permits. The Company had previously purchased 41 specific rights relating to relevant areas of the Cinco de Mayo project area from the Ejido members, who along with the Federal Agrarian Authority had ratified the purchase. The Company was awaiting formal title transfer of the surface rights, when certain members of the Ejido challenged the purchase, claiming the 41 rights purchased represented a 41/421 undivided interest in the Ejido owned surface rights , rather than rights to exclusive areas of the property.

The Company had anticipated obtaining the requisite access permission and final permit approval early in 2013. However, on November 17, 2012 at what the Company believes was an illegally constituted meeting, the Ejido voted to expel MAG from its Cinco de Mayo Property and establish a 100 year mining moratorium over Northern Chihuahua. The Company noted that it has been advised by its Mexican legal advisors that the Ejido Assembly has no ability in law to impose a ban on mining. Several Ejido members challenged the meeting on the grounds that proper notice was not given, key signatures required to properly call the meeting were fraudulent, and that the vote taken at the meeting was fraught with irregularities, including a significant number of votes being cast by unverified proxies. A court hearing was scheduled for the first quarter of 2013. MAG expected that the meeting and the illegal resolutions would be nullified, at which time, the Company planned to ask government officials to oversee a new assembly meeting of the Ejido to ensure that the necessary procedural and governance rules would be respected and the vote properly conducted.

Permission of the Ejido assembly is required to obtain surface access, and although there is no certainty that a new vote would produce a favourable outcome for the Company, MAG believes that the opposition group and its supporters do not represent the will of the majority of the 421 voting members of the Ejido (or of the 12,000 other citizens in the project area).

Year Ended December 31, 2013

The Company’s exploration and evaluation activity on its own 100% owned properties was minimal in the year ended December 31, 2013. Since April 2013 there has been significant volatility and a negative trend in the market prices for silver, gold and various base metals. In addition, poor market conditions have recently prevailed, making equity funding for exploration projects challenging. Given these prevailing market conditions and the desire to preserve cash for core projects, management determined that some of the Company’s non-core assets should be abandoned and written off. In the year ended December 31, 2013, the Lagartos Properties, specifically the “Lagartos NW,” “Largartos SE” and “Lagartos V” claims were written off, along with the 100% owned Lorena and Nuevo Mundo claims and their respective concessions were either not renewed in the year or will not be renewed going forward. The Mojina property was also considered impaired, and the option earn in agreement was terminated and its associated exploration and evaluation costs were written off.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company entered into an option agreement with Canasil Resources Inc. (“Canasil”) whereby the Company can earn up to a 70% interest in Canasil's 14,719 hectare Salamandra property located in Durango State, Mexico. The Company paid C$150,000 upon signing the agreement, and to earn an initial 55% interest in the property, the Company must make additional cash payments to Canasil of C$600,000 over a period of four years, and complete C$5,500,000 in exploration expenditures over the same period, including a minimum committed first year work expenditure of C$1,000,000 and 3,000 metres of drilling. Upon earning its 55% interest, the Company may elect to earn a further 15% interest by producing either a feasibility study or spending an additional C$20,000,000 over a further four year period. A portion of the property is subject to a 2% NSR royalty, half of which may be purchased from the holder for $1,000,000.

Although Mr. Dan MacInnis will remain as an integral member of the board of directors, Mr. MacInnis announced his retirement as President and CEO of the Company, effective October 14, 2013. Mr. George Paspalas, who has held senior management positions at Silver Standard, Placer Dome, and most recently CEO of Aurizon Mines Ltd., was appointed as the successor on October 15, 2013. Mr. Paspalas brings a wealth of technical, operating and capital market experience to the Company, as it transitions itself to the next level of project development.

Juanicipio Property

Minera Juanicipio began the development permitting process in the fall of 2012 with the expectation of commencing the underground decline development in the first half of 2013. However, due to development permitting delays resulting from the recent Mexican government changeover, the start of the decline development was unavoidably delayed. On October 28, 2013, Minera Juanicipio commenced the underground development at the Juanicipio project. The initiation of underground work followed a year of engineering, hydrological and environmental studies in support of required permits. With the portal area preparation complete, a continuous miner started excavating the uppermost part of the access decline ramp.

Infill drilling - Valdecañas Vein

The Minera Juanicipio development budget proposed infill drilling on a maximum of 75 metre centres along the Valdecañas Vein, designed to convert inferred mineral resources to indicated mineral resources. To December 31, 2013, a total 40 infill holes had been completed by Minera Juanicipio, with 6 holes left in the infill drill program to be completed in 2014. The results were as expected showing the typical metal zoning of Fresnillo-style veins in the district.

2013 Exploration Program

The 2013 exploration budget for Minera Juanicipio included 13,033 metres of drilling to explore for additional veins and to delineate the high grade ore shoot emerging on the Juanicipio Vein. However, permitting for some of the areas where exploration drilling was planned took longer than expected and the majority of drilling in 2013 was ultimately concentrated on infill drilling on the Valdecañas Vein (see above). Infill drilling designed to convert inferred mineral resources to indicated mineral resources, is part of the development budget , and is excluded from the 2013 exploration budget.

Cinco de Mayo Property

No drilling or active exploration was undertaken on the Company’s 100% owned Cinco de Mayo Project in 2013. The Company has been in the process of negotiating a renewed surface access agreement with the local Ejido, since it was asked to vacate the property in November 2012 at what the Company maintains was an illegally constituted Ejido Assembly (see “Soil Use Change Permit” and surface access above in “Year Ended December 31, 2012”). In the year ended December 31, 2013, the principal focus of work has been in preparation for these negotiations and has included meetings with Chihuahua State, Municipal, and Mexican Federal authorities and Community Public Relations and legal advisors in Mexico. This process was protracted due to the political transition period as the new party and Presidency assumed operation of the Mexican government in December 2012, coupled with Municipal elections held in July 2013.

Various Ejido members legally challenged the November 2012 Assembly meeting, on the grounds that proper notice was not given, key signatures required to properly call the meeting were fraudulent, and that the vote taken at the meeting was fraught with irregularities, including a significant number of votes being cast by unverified proxies. A court hearing was held on February 6, 2013 in Chihuahua where the ejiditarios calling for the meeting to be declared illegal presented their evidence. The opponents who had organized the illegal meeting failed to appear in court on time and their testimony was dismissed by the judge. The judge ordered the Ejido administration to provide original documents for the meeting, which they failed to provide, so the judge declared their participation ended. As a result of back log of rulings, the judge’s formal ruling had still not been rendered as at year end, but was issued in February 2014 (see “Year Ended December 31, 2014” below).

Year Ended December 31, 2014

On July 16, 2014, the Company closed a bought deal public financing and issued 7,712,000 common shares, including 392,000 commons shares issued on partial exercise of the over-allotment option, at C$10.25 per share, for gross proceeds of $73,376,306 (C$79,048,000). On August 18, 2014, the underwriters exercised the balance of the over-allotment in full and issued an additional 706,000 shares at C$10.25 for additional gross proceeds of $6,640,819 (C$7,236,500) bringing total gross proceeds to $80,017,125 (C$86,284,500). As the net proceeds to the Company (C$80,974,635) were received in Canadian dollars, and as the Company funds the majority of its operations in US dollars, 95% of the net proceeds were immediately (upon closings) converted to US$, at a US$/C$ exchange rate of 0.9273. As outlined in the offering documents, the majority of the funds raised are designated for the Juanicipio project, with the balance for working capital and general corporate purposes. As at December 31, 2014, the Company had working capital of $87,033,742 including cash of $86,280,385.

Operational highlights of 2014 include the following summary.

Juanicipio Property

For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company’s total combined expenditures on the Juanicipio property amounted to $4,738,177, and included $4,378,000 for its 44% share of cash advances, and a further $360,177 expended directly by the Company on project oversight and on an updated independent resource estimate.

On May 27, 2014 the Company announced an updated independent Mineral Resource estimate for the Juanicipio Property completed by RPA. The updated estimate reflects the results of 40 infill holes drilled in 2012 and 2013, and is based on drill results available as of December 31, 2013. The new estimate demonstrates a conversion of previously classified Inferred Resources into the Indicated category and reports a deep lower grade resource separately. An amended and restated NI 43-101 technical report documenting the updated Mineral Resource estimate and including enhanced cautionary language was filed on SEDAR on July 3, 2014 (the “Technical Report”) – see “Mineral Projects” section below.

As part of the Technical Report, RPA reviewed the 2012 UPEA carried out by AMC Mining Consultants (Canada) Ltd. and believes that it remains a reasonable representation of the property’s economic potential. The results of the 2012 UPEA are included in the Technical Report.

The economic analysis in the Technical Report is preliminary in nature and is based, in part, on Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the PEA will be realized.

The underground work to the end of 2014 has included mine permitting, surface preparation, the commencement of the first 2,500 metres of underground decline development, and infill drilling on the Valdecañas Vein. The majority of the infill drilling was completed in 2013, with the results to December 31, 2013 included in the updated Mineral Resource estimate above. In 2014, the initial ramp decline was advanced primarily utilizing a continuous miner until March 2014, when the contractor hired by Fresnillo to construct the ramp decline on behalf of Minera Juanicipio, received its full explosives permit from the Mexican Ministry of Defense. The development of the ramp decline then advanced from March to December, 2014, with conventional drill and blast cycles as well as with the continuous miner, depending on ground conditions. The continuous miner was retired in mid-December, 2014 and the ramp is now advancing exclusively with drilling and blasting. Late in 2014, based on actual conditions and geotechnical drill holes, it appears that the near-surface zone of variable rock quality has been passed and that the expected better rock quality zone has now been reached.

Cinco de Mayo Property

No drilling was undertaken on the Cinco de Mayo property in 2014 as the Company remains in the process of negotiating a renewed surface access agreement with the local Ejido, since it was asked to vacate the property in November 2012 at what the Company maintains was an illegally constituted Ejido Assembly (see ““Soil Use Change Permit” and surface access” above in the Year Ended December 31, 2012). Various Ejido members had legally challenged the Assembly meeting on the grounds that proper notice was not given, key signatures required to properly call the meeting were fraudulent, and that the vote taken at the meeting was fraught with irregularities, including a significant number of votes being cast by unverified proxies. MAG had expected that the Assembly and the resolutions passed would be nullified by the Fifth Unified Agrarian Tribunal (“the Tribunal”), but the Company was notified during the first quarter of 2014 that the Tribunal had rejected the Ejido challenge. The ruling was made on narrow technical grounds and did not speak to the merits of the actions of the Assembly. The Tribunal did note that a new vote of a majority of Ejido members can revoke the actions of the challenged Assembly at any time. The Company has been advised that an appeal of the ruling, based on failure of the Tribunal to consider broader requirements of the Agrarian Law, was promptly filed with the Mexican Supreme Court by the same Ejido members. It was expected that the appeal would have been considered by Courts in the latter half of 2014, but to date it has not, nor has a date for a hearing been set. The Company has no input or involvement in the appeal process, as it is Ejido members who have filed the appeal.

In the year ended December 31, 2014, the principal focus of work on the Cinco de Mayo property has been in preparation for and related to negotiations with the local Ejido which has included meetings with State and Federal authorities, several legal advisors, and Community Relations advisors in Mexico.

While no assurances can be given, MAG is continuing the negotiation process with the intent of arriving at a settlement agreement that would be fully supported at a properly constituted Assembly. Although there is no certainty that a new vote would produce a favourable outcome for the Company, MAG believes that the opposition group and its supporters do not represent the will of the majority of the 421 voting members of the Ejido (or of the 12,000 other citizens in the project area).

MAG believes that the access issue will be overcome, and that the requisite authorizations to complete its submission for the Soil use Change Permit will be obtained in due course. However, the overall timeline to successful resolution is not determinable at this time, and will depend upon various factors including but not limited to: the ability of the Company to arrive at a settlement agreement that would be fully supported by the majority of the Ejido; and, the ability of the Ejido to conduct a properly constituted Assembly meeting, with quorum, and favourable outcome.

Current Fiscal Year (Subsequent to December 31, 2014)

MAG continues to work with Fresnillo to progress the Juanicipio Property in accordance with the recommendations of the 2012 UPEA/2014 Technical Report, and the Company continues the negotiation process with the local Ejido to renew its surface rights access on the Cinco de Mayo Property.

Juanicipio Property

Along with some detailed engineering work, the ramp advancement and the associated underground mine infrastructure, continues to be the primary development activity ongoing at Juanicipio. The ramp is now advancing exclusively with drilling and blasting, and it appears that the near-surface zone of variable rock quality has been passed and that the expected better rock quality zone has now been reached. As a result, the ramp decline development has seen a sustained improvement in the advance rate, and subsequent to the year end, the 1 kilometre ramp advancement milestone was passed.

In addition to the Juanicipio underground development, exploration work continues by Minera Juanicipio to seek new veins and trace structures and veins in neighbouring parts of the district onto the Minera Juanicipio joint venture ground. Exploration targets for 2015 were identified at an onsite exploration day in December attended by exploration teams from both MAG and Fresnillo.

Subsequent to the year end on January 8, 2015, the Company advanced $2.2 million to Minera Juanicipio, representing its 44% share of a $4.9 million cash call for expenditures through April 2015. Currently one drill rig is on site and additional rigs will be used for exploration drilling once a series of holes being drilled for bulk metallurgical samples are completed.

Cinco de Mayo Property

No drilling or active exploration is being carried out on the Cinco de Mayo Project as the Company continues the process of negotiating a renewed surface access agreement with the local Ejido. The Company remains willing to work with the Ejido and the greater community to define a comprehensive Corporate Social Responsibility Program (“CSR”) to coincide with the next phases of our exploration activity. MAG’s goal is to continue its working relationship and ensure the Ejido and the greater community benefit from the expected successes and growth at Cinco de Mayo.

The overall timeline to successful resolution and renewed surface access is not determinable at this time, and will depend upon various factors including but not limited to: the ability of the Company to arrive at a settlement agreement that would be fully supported by the majority of the Ejido; and, the ability of the Ejido to conduct a properly constituted Assembly meeting, with quorum, and favourable outcome.

For more information on the Company’s progress and intentions for its material properties please refer to the “Mineral Projects” section below.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

General

The Company is in the mineral acquisition, exploration and development business. The Company is in the exploration and development stage and there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our properties. Further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility of any of the Company’s properties is determined. Even if the Company completes its exploration program and is successful in identifying a mineral deposit, it will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before it will know if it has a commercially viable mineral deposit or reserve.

Principal Markets

The Company is a reporting issuer in the Provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador and is a reporting “foreign issuer” in the United States of America.

The Company’s Common Shares were listed and posted for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (formerly CDNX) on April 19, 2000 under the symbol “MGA”. Concurrent with the Company’s name change to MAG Silver Corp. on April 22, 2003, the trading symbol was changed to “MAG”. On July 9, 2007, the Company’s Common Shares were listed on the American Stock Exchange (now the NYSE MKT LLC) under the symbol “MVG”. On October 5, 2007, the Company delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange concurrent with its listing on the TSX, with the Company’s Common Shares continuing to trade under the symbol “MAG”.

Adjacent Property Disclosure

The staff of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) take the position that mining and mineral exploration companies, in their filings with the SEC, should describe only those mineral deposits that the companies themselves can economically and legally extract or produce. This AIF contains information regarding adjacent properties on which we have no right to explore or mine, and is considered by management to be of material importance to the Company and its land holdings in the area. Investors are cautioned that mineral deposits on adjacent properties do not necessarily indicate and certainly do not prove the existence, nature or extent of mineral deposits on our properties.

Cautionary Note to Investors Concerning Estimates of Mineral Resources

This AIF uses the terms "Indicated Mineral Resources" and “Inferred Mineral Resources”. MAG advises investors that although these terms comply with Canadian reporting standards under NI 43-101, the SEC does not recognize these terms and U.S. companies are generally not permitted to disclose resources in documents that they file with the SEC. Furthermore, disclosure of “contained ounces” is permitted under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC standards only as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.

Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. In addition, "Inferred Mineral Resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them to enable them to be categorized as mineral resources and, accordingly, may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, or economic studies except for a Preliminary Economic Assessment as defined under NI 43-101. Investors are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an Inferred Mineral Resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable indicated and inferred mineral resources that are not mineral resources do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Technical Information

Unless otherwise indicated, scientific or technical information in this AIF is based on information prepared by employees of MAG or its joint venture partners, as applicable, under the supervision of, or that has been reviewed and approved by, Dr. Peter Megaw, Ph.D., C.P.G., who is a “Qualified Person” as defined in NI 43-101. A “Qualified Person” means an individual who is an engineer or geoscientist with at least five years of experience in mineral exploration, mine development or operation or mineral project assessment, or any combination of these, has experience relevant to the subject matter of the mineral project, and is a member in good standing of a professional association.

Passive Foreign Investment Company

The Company believes it is a Passive Foreign Investment Company (“PFIC”), as that term is defined in Section 1297 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and believes it will be a PFIC for the foreseeable future. Consequently, this classification may result in adverse tax consequences for U.S. holders of the Company’s Common Shares. For an explanation of these effects on taxation, U.S. shareholders and prospective U.S. holders of the Company’s Common Shares are encouraged to consult their own tax advisers.

Employees

The Company’s business is administered from its head office in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had eight full time employees (excluding directors), and no part time employees.

Specialized Skill and Knowledge

Many aspects of MAG’s business require specialized skill and knowledge. Such skills and knowledge include the areas of geology, engineering, accounting and mine planning. MAG has found that it has been able to locate and retain such employees when needed.

Competitive Conditions

Competition in the mineral exploration and production industry is intense. The Company competes with a number of large, established mining companies with greater financial resources and technical facilities, for the acquisition and development of mineral concessions, claims, leases and other interests, as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees and consultants and the equipment required to continue the Company’s exploration activities.

Economic Dependence

The Juanicipio property, in which the Company owns a 44% joint venture interest, is considered one of the two material properties of the Company, and of all of the Company’s properties, the Juanicipio property is the most advanced and has been the most important valuation factor for the Company. The Company’s interest in the Juanicipio property is held through its indirect 44% ownership of Minera Juanicipio, and is governed by the terms of the Shareholders Agreement with Fresnillo.

The terms of the Shareholders Agreement governing the operation of Minera Juanicipio provide effective control to Fresnillo over many of the activities of Minera Juanicipio, as Fresnillo holds a majority (56%) of the shares of Minera Juanicipio. While a limited number of decisions of the shareholders or the directors of Minera Juanicipio require a special majority of 60%, and in one instance 75%, giving the Company an effective veto over any such decisions, the Company is a minority shareholder of Minera Juanicipio and is dependent on Fresnillo to manage the affairs of Minera Juanicipio in compliance with the Shareholders Agreement, the Articles of Minera Juanicipio and applicable law. The Shareholders Agreement also calls for adjustments to the interests of the shareholders in Minera Juanicipio where either shareholder fails to fund cash calls within certain specified periods. If the Company fails to fund cash calls, it risks having its interest reduced, may lose its effective veto power over certain decisions and ultimately could have its interest in Minera Juanicipio diluted entirely.

Please consult the Company's public filings at www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov for further, more detailed information concerning these matters.

CARRYING ON BUSINESS IN MEXICO

The Company’s property interests are located in Mexico. A summary of the regulatory regime material to the business and affairs of the Company is provided below.

Mining Regulations

The exploration and exploitation of minerals in Mexico may be carried out by Mexican citizens or Mexican companies incorporated under Mexican law by means of obtaining concessions (currently covering exploration and exploitation). Concessions are granted by the Mexican federal government for a period of fifty years from the date of their recording in the Public Registry of Mining. The term of mining concessions previously issued by the Mexican federal government (for exploration and/or exploitation) was automatically extended by the enactment of the 2006 amendments to the Mexican Mining Law. Likewise, due to such amendments, the holders of mining concessions for exploration were automatically authorized to carry out not only exploration work, but also exploitation works.

Holders of concessions may, within the five years prior to the expiration of such concessions, apply for their renewal for the same period of time. Failure to apply prior to the expiration of the term of the concession will result in termination of the concession. Concessions are subject to annual work requirements and payment of mining duties which are assessed and levied on a semi-annual basis. Such concessions may be transferred or assigned by their holders, but such transfers or assignments must comply with the requirements established by the Mexican Mining Law and be registered before the Public Registry of Mining in order to be valid against third parties.

Although the Law of Foreign Investment provides that mineral concessions may also be obtained by foreign citizens or foreign corporations, the Mexican Mining Law provides that such concessions may only be granted to Mexican citizens or Mexican corporations. Thus, foreign citizens or corporations may only obtain mineral concessions through the establishment of a subsidiary in Mexico. Foreign investment in Mexican companies must comply with certain requirements set forth in the Law of Foreign Investment.

The Mexican Mining Law does not require payment of finder’s fees or royalties to the Government, except for: i) a mining royalty fee of 7.5% and the 0.5% extraordinary governmental fee on precious metals, (see below “Income Tax – New Tax Regime Effective January 1, 2014); and ii) a discovery premium or economic consideration in connection with claims or allotments contracted directly from the Mexican Geological Service that have been awarded pursuant to a public bid process. None of the property interests held by Lagartos, Minera Pozo Seco or Sierra Vieja are under such fee regimes at the present time. However, holders of mining concessions are required to pay mining concession fees which are assessed and levied on a semi-annual basis, and that increase over time the longer the concessions are held.

Foreign Investment Regulation

Foreign investment regulation in Mexico is primarily governed by the Law of Foreign Investment and its Regulations. Foreign investment of up to 100% in Mexican mining companies is freely permitted. Companies with foreign investment in their capital stock must be registered with the National Registry of Foreign Investment which is maintained by the Ministry of Economy, and file certain reports and notices, including an annual report with respect to the operations carried out during the preceding fiscal year which is necessary in order to renew their certificate of recordation with such Registry.

Environmental Regulations

Mexico has federal, state and municipal laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment and natural resources (“Environmental Laws”), including laws and regulations concerning water pollution, air pollution, noise pollution, hazardous substances and forest protection. The main federal Environmental Law in Mexico is the Ley General del Equilibrio Ecológico y la Protección al Ambiente (the “General Law of Ecological Balance and Environmental Protection” or the “General Law”), pursuant to which general environmental rules and policies have been promulgated addressing air pollution, hazardous substances and environmental impact among various others.

Another federal law particularly relevant for the mining sector is the Ley General para la Gestión Integral de los Residuos (the “General Law for Integrated Waste Management”) and its regulations the Reglamento de la Ley General para la Prevención y Gestión Integral de los Residuos (the “Regulations to the General Law for Integrated Waste Prevention and Management”), which regulate the generation, handling, transportation, storage and final disposal of hazardous waste, as well as the import and export of hazardous materials and hazardous wastes, and assign liability for ownership and possession of contaminated sites and for contaminating activities. The Ley General de Desarrollo Forestal Sustentable and its regulations (the “Forestry Protection Laws”) are also relevant, as they address reforestation obligations and compensation measures on projects which may have a deforestation impact, which may include mining projects.

On June 7, 2013, the Ley Federal de Responsabilidad Ambiental (Federal Law of Environmental Liability) was enacted, under which any person or entity that directly or indirectly (for action or omission) causes damage to the environment, will be held liable and obliged to: i) repair the damage, or in the event that such repair is not possible; ii) pay compensatory damages, subject to a corresponding judicial, administrative or criminal proceeding.

Applicable Environmental Laws contemplate the creation and regulation of Natural Protected Areas (Areas Naturales Protegidas) which along with Ecological Ordinance Programs (Programas de Ordenamiento Ecológico) constitute two of the main instruments that will regulate the use of land in the areas within their jurisdiction, including restrictions on certain activities and sectors, such as the mining sector.

In addition, there are a series of “Mexican Official Norms” which are technical standards issued by competent regulatory authorities, pursuant to the Ley General de Metrología y Normalización and to other laws that include the aforementioned Environmental Laws, which establish standards relating to air emissions, waste water discharges, the generation, handling and disposal of hazardous wastes (including specific Mexican Official Norms for the handling of mining tailings, which are considered mining hazardous wastes) and noise control, among others. There are Mexican Official Norms regarding soil contamination (mainly with total petroleum hydrocarbons and heavy metals) and waste management (the “Ecological Standards”). Of particular importance to the mining sector are Mexican Official Norms NOM-120-SEMARNAT-2011 regulating environmental protection of mining activities in certain zones, and NOM-141-SEMARNAT-2003 which addresses certain aspects of tailings (jales de minería) from mining activities, among other Ecological Standards applicable to mining activities.

The Secretaría de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (the “Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources” or “SEMARNAT”, for its initials in Spanish) is the federal agency in charge of establishing and overseeing environmental regulation at the federal level, including the General Law and federal statutes and the Environmental Laws, as well as the Ecological Standards. On enforcement matters the SEMARNAT acts mainly through the “Procuraduría Federal de Protección al Ambiente” (the “Federal Bureau of Environmental Protection” or “PROFEPA”, for its initials in Spanish) and in certain cases through other governmental entities under its control, such as the Comisión Nacional del Agua (or National Water Commission).

Environmental Laws also regulate environmental protection in the mining industry in Mexico. In order to comply with these laws, a series of permits, licenses and authorizations must be obtained by a concession holder during the exploration and exploitation stages of a mining project. Generally, these permits and authorizations are issued on a timely basis after the completion of an application and the fulfillment of the necessary requirements by a concession holder. Additionally, periodic reporting of hazardous wastes and federal air emissions and federal waste water discharges to Federal authorities is required under the Environmental Laws. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, all of the Company’s property interests are currently in compliance with the Environmental Laws.

In the exploration stage, the cost of complying with such Environmental Laws is included in the exploration budget. Until such time as the Company conducts larger more invasive procedures, such as trenching or bulk sampling, there is only nominal cost associated with compliance with the Environmental Laws. The Company’s programs are not yet sufficiently advanced to allow an estimate of the future cost of such environmental compliance.

Currency

The official monetary unit of Mexico is the Mexican peso. The currency exchange rate freely floats and the country has no currency exchange restrictions. Nevertheless, following the devaluation of the Mexican peso in December, 1994, uncertainties continue with respect to the financial situation of Mexico. See “Description of the Business - Risk Factors”, specifically those risk factors dealing with currency fluctuation and inflation.

The following table presents a five-year history of the average annual exchange rates to convert one United States dollar into Mexican pesos, calculated by using the average of the exchange rates on the last day of each month during the given year.

Year	Average Exchange Rate (Mxn peso/US$)
2014	13.3609
2013	12.8411
2012	13.1657
2011	12.4804
2010	12.6555

Value Added Tax (“VAT”) also known as “IVA”

In Mexico, VAT is charged on the sale of goods, rendering of services, lease of goods and importation of goods and services at a rate of 16% percent. Exports and other specified items may be subject to a 0% rate. Proprietors selling goods or services must collect VAT on behalf of the government. Goods or services purchased incur a credit for VAT paid. The resulting net VAT is then remitted to, or collected from, the Government of Mexico through a formalized filing process. The Company has traditionally held a VAT receivable balance due to the expenditures it incurs whereby VAT is paid to the vendor or service provider. Collections of these receivables from the Government of Mexico often take months and sometimes years to recover.

Income Tax – New Tax Regime Effective January 1, 2014

The Mexican Senate approved Tax Reform changes in Mexico that became effective January 1, 2014, that in part, adversely affect operating mining companies in Mexico. The changes affecting the Mexican mining industry include: the elimination of a planned reduction in the corporate tax rate from 30% to 28% by 2015 (corporate tax rate will remain 30% indefinitely); a mining royalty fee of 7.5% on income before tax, depreciation, and interest; an extraordinary governmental fee on precious metals, including gold and silver, of 0.5% of gross revenues; and, changes affecting the timing of various expense deductions for tax purposes. Should the tax reform changes remain in place once Minera Juanicipio or any of the Company’s other properties are in production, it will be subjected to this tax regime. However, various industry lobbying and challenges are expected over the next several years, and possible tax planning opportunities may exist to reduce the impact of the tax changes. Managements’ initial assessment of the tax reform changes is that they will not have an impact on the viability of the Juanicipio project.

Under the new tax regime, mining concession holders that fail to develop mining works in accordance with the Mining Law, during a consecutive two year period within the first eleven years of the term of the concession, will pay on a semi-annual basis an additional mining fee equivalent to 50% to the maximum current mining duty. If the failure to carry out works remains unchanged, starting on the twelfth year, the additional fee will be doubled.

An additional component of the Mexican tax reform also includes a 10% dividend tax, to be withheld on all dividends paid to foreign residents of Mexico. With the existing Canadian-Mexico tax treaties, this dividend tax rate will be reduced to 5%. Prior to the tax reform, there was no dividend withholding tax on dividends paid from Mexico to Canadian corporations out of tax paid earnings.

Other general tax amendments are referred to in the “Mexican Foreign Investment and Income Tax Laws apply to the Company” Section.

RISK FACTORS

The exploration, development and mining of natural resources are highly speculative in nature and are subject to significant risks. The risk factors noted below do not necessarily comprise all those faced by the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently considers immaterial may also impair the business, operations and future prospects of the Company. If any of the following risks actually occur, the business of the Company may be harmed and its financial condition and results of operations may suffer significantly, along with a possible significant decline in the value and/or share price of the Company’s publicly traded stock.

The Company’s securities should be considered a highly speculative investment and investors should carefully consider all of the information disclosed in the Company’s Canadian and U.S. regulatory filings prior to making an investment in the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, the following risk factors should be given special consideration when evaluating an investment in the Company’s securities.

Risks Relating to the Company’s Business Operations

Mineral exploration and development is a highly speculative business and most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable deposits.

Exploration for minerals is a highly speculative venture necessarily involving substantial risk. The expenditures made by the Company described herein may not result in discoveries of commercial quantities of minerals. The failure to find an economic mineral deposit on any of the Company’s exploration concessions will have a negative effect on the Company.

None of the properties in which the Company has an interest has any mineral reserves.

Currently, there are no mineral reserves (within the meaning of NI 43-101) on any of the properties in which the Company has an interest. Only those mineral deposits that the Company can economically and legally extract or produce, based on a comprehensive evaluation of cost, grade, recovery and other factors, are considered mineral reserves. The resource estimates contained in the Technical Report are indicated and inferred resource estimates only and no assurance can be given that any particular level of recovery of silver or other minerals from mineralized material will in fact be realized or that an identified mineralized deposit will ever qualify as a commercially mineable (or viable) reserve. In particular, inferred mineral resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. Further, the economic assessment contained in the Technical Report is preliminary in nature, and actual capital costs, operating costs, production, economic returns and other estimates contained in studies or estimates prepared by or for the Company may differ from those described therein and herein, and there can be no assurance that actual costs will not be higher than anticipated. Substantial additional work, including mine design and mining schedules, metallurgical flow sheets and process plant designs, would be required in order to determine if any economic deposits exist on the Company's properties. Substantial expenditures would be required to establish mineral reserves through drilling and metallurgical and other testing techniques. The costs, timing and complexities of upgrading the mineralized material to proven or probable reserves may be greater than the Company reserves on a mineral property will require the Company to write-off the costs capitalized for that property in its financial statements. The Company cannot provide any assurance that future feasibility studies will establish mineral reserves at its properties. The failure to establish mineral reserves could restrict the Company’s ability to successfully implement its strategies for long-term growth.

The properties in which the Company has an interest are primarily in the exploration stage, and most exploration projects do not result in commercially mineable deposits.

Other than the Juanicipio Project where development has commenced, all of the Company’s property interests are at the exploration stage. None of the Company’s properties have known commercial quantities of minerals. Development of mineral properties involves a high degree of risk and few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. The commercial viability of a mineral deposit is dependent upon a number of factors which are beyond the Company's control, including the attributes of the deposit, commodity prices, government policies and regulation and environmental protection. Fluctuations in the market prices of minerals may render resources and deposits containing relatively lower grades of mineralization uneconomic. Further exploration or delineation will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility of any of the Company’s properties is determined. Even if the Company completes its exploration programs and is successful in identifying mineral deposits, it will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before it will know if it has a commercially viable mineral deposit or reserve. Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable deposits of ores.

Estimates of reserves and resources, mineral deposits and production costs can be affected by such factors as environmental permit regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations and work interruptions. As a result, there is a risk such estimates are inaccurate. For example, the Technical Report includes a resource estimate prepared by RPA in accordance with NI 43-101. The grade of precious and base metals ultimately discovered may differ from the indicated drilling results. If the grade of the resource was lower, there would be a negative impact on the economics of the Juanicipio Project. There can be no assurance that precious metals recovered in small-scale tests will be duplicated in large-scale tests under on-site conditions or in production scale. The probability of an individual prospect ever having reserves is extremely remote. If a property does not contain any reserves, any funds spent on exploration of that property will be lost. The failure of the Company to find an economic mineral deposit on any of its exploration concessions will have a negative effect on the Company.

Estimates of mineral resources are based on interpretation and assumptions and are inherently imprecise.

The mineral resource figures referred to in the Technical Report, this AIF and the documents incorporated herein by reference have been determined and valued based on assumed future prices, cut-off grades and operating costs. However, until mineral deposits are actually mined and processed, any mineral resources must be considered as estimates only. Fresnillo prepares its own internal resources estimates annual in respect of the Juanicipio Project and such estimates may be materially different than those relied upon by the Company. Any such estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, mining experience, analysis of drilling results and industry practices. Estimates can be imprecise and depend upon geological interpretation and statistical inferences drawn from drilling and sampling analysis, which may prove to be unreliable. In addition, the grade and/or quantity of precious metals ultimately recovered may differ from that indicated by drilling results. There can be no assurance that precious and base metals recovered in small-scale tests will be duplicated in large-scale tests under on-site conditions or in production scale. The grade of the reported mineral resource estimates are uncertain in nature and it is uncertain whether further technical studies will result in an upgrade to them. Further drilling on the mineralized zones is required to complement the current bulk sample and add confidence in the continuity of mineralized zones in comparison to the current block model. Any material change in the quantity of mineralization, grade or ore to waste ratio or extended declines in market prices for silver and precious metals may render portions of the Company's mineralization uneconomic and result in reduced reported mineralization. Any material reductions in estimates of mineralization, or of the Company's ability to extract this mineralization, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

Rights to use the surface of the Company’s mineral properties are not guaranteed.

The majority of the Company’s mineral properties are located in remote and relatively uninhabited areas. Some properties, like Juanicipio Project, are near towns and other habitations, but there are currently no areas of interest to the Company within its mineral concessions that are overlain by significant habitation or industrial users. However, there are potential overlapping surface usage issues in some areas. Some surface rights are owned by local communities or “Ejidos” and some surface rights are owned by private ranching or residential interests. The Company will be required to negotiate the acquisition of surface rights in those areas where it may wish to develop mining operations. Exploration activities are not typically materially impacted by competing surface rights issues, although in some areas the Company has been required or is in the process of negotiating compensation for surface rights holders in order to secure right of access. The Company’s interest in a property could be adversely affected by an inability to obtain Ejido surface access permissions. In the case of the Cinco de Mayo Property some members of the local Ejido are aligned against the Company having access to the surface rights, and the Company was asked to vacate the property in November of 2012 at what the Company believes was an illegally constituted Ejido Assembly. A subsequent legal challenge to the legality of the Assembly was rejected and an appeal has been filed. Although the Company is currently in the process of negotiating surface access to the Cinco de Mayo Property with the Ejido, there is no assurance that a surface access agreement will be attained, in which case the Company’s interest in the property may be permanently impaired.

There is no guarantee that licenses and permits required by the Company to conduct its business will be obtained, which may result in the Company losing its interest in the subject property.

The Company's current and anticipated future operations, including further exploration, development activities and commencement of production on the Company's properties, require permits from various national, provincial, territorial and local governmental authorities. The Company may not be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out exploration, development and mining operations at its projects. In addition, the grant of required licenses and permits may be delayed for reasons outside the Company’s control. For example, the Company has been prevented from obtaining the Soil Use Change Permit required for the Cinco de Mayo Property due to the opposition from certain members of the local Ejido described above. In addition, development permitting delays resulting from the recent Mexican government changeover delayed the start of the decline development at the Juanicipio Project. Failure to obtain such licenses and permits on a timely basis, or failure to comply with the terms of any such licenses and permits that the Company does obtain, may adversely affect the Company’s business as the Company would be unable to legally conduct its intended exploration, development or mining work, which may result in increased costs, delay in activities or the Company losing its interest in the subject property.

The properties in which the Company has an interest are in Mexico.

The Company’s operations are currently conducted in a foreign jurisdiction, Mexico, and, as such, the Company’s operations are exposed to various levels of political, economic and other such risks and uncertainties as extreme fluctuations in currency exchange rates; high rates of inflation; labour unrest; the risks of war or civil unrest; expropriation and nationalization; renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions, licences, permits and contracts; illegal mining; changes in taxation policies; restrictions on foreign exchange and repatriation; and changing political conditions, currency controls and governmental regulations that favour or require the awarding of contracts to local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction. In addition, there have recently been reports of increased political unrest, police and military enforcement action against drug cartels and a corresponding increase in violent crime in Mexico.

In the past, Mexico has been subject to political instability, changes and uncertainties, which may cause changes to existing governmental regulations affecting mineral exploration and mining activities. Mexico's status as a developing country may make it more difficult for the Company to obtain any required financing for its projects.

Any changes in governmental laws, regulations, economic conditions or shifts in political attitudes or stability in Mexico are beyond the control of the Company and may adversely affect its business.

Economic and political instability may affect the Company’s business.

The volatile global economic environment has created market uncertainty and volatility in recent years. From mid-calendar 2008 until early 2009 there was a negative trend with regard to the market for metal commodities and related products as a result of global economic uncertainty, reduced confidence in financial markets, bank failures and credit availability concerns. Similar instability in the market for metal commodities has been experienced since April 2013, and continues today. These macro-economic events negatively affected the mining and minerals sectors in general, and the Company’s market capitalization has been significantly reduced in periods of market instabilities. Many industries, including the mining industry, are impacted by these market conditions. Global financial conditions remain subject to sudden and rapid destabilizations in response to economic shocks. A slowdown in the financial markets or other economic conditions, including but not limited to consumer spending, employment rates, business conditions, inflation, fuel and energy costs, consumer debt levels, lack of available credit, the state of the financial markets, interest rates and tax rates, may adversely affect the Company's growth and profitability. Future economic shocks may be precipitated by a number of causes, including the ongoing European debt situation, a continued rise in the price of oil and other commodities, the volatility of metal prices, geopolitical instability, terrorism, the devaluation and volatility of global stock markets and natural disasters. Any sudden or rapid destabilization of global economic conditions could impact the Company's ability to obtain equity or debt financing in the future on terms favorable to the Company or at all. In such an event, the Company's operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted.

There are no assurances with respect to the relative strength and stability of future metal markets. Although the Company remains financially strong, its liquidity and long term ability to raise the capital required to execute its business plans may be affected by market volatilities.

The Company's future profitability and the viability of development depends in part upon the world market price of silver. Prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company's control. The price of silver is influenced by factors including industrial and retail supply and demand, exchange rates, inflation rates, changes in global economies, confidence in the global monetary system, forward sales of silver and other metals by producers and speculators as well as other global or regional political, social or economic events. The supply of silver and other metals consists of a combination of new mine production and existing stocks held by governments, producers, speculators and consumers, which could increase due to improved mining and production methods.

Prices and availability of commodities consumed or used in connection with exploration and development and mining, such as natural gas, diesel, oil and electricity, also fluctuate, and these fluctuations affect the costs of production at various operations. These fluctuations can be unpredictable, can occur over short periods of time and may have a material adverse impact on the Company's operating costs or the timing and costs of various projects.

The Company assesses on a quarterly basis the carrying values of its mineral properties. Based on current and expected metals prices and cost structures, management has determined that the values of the Company’s material mineral properties have not been impaired at this time. Should current market conditions and commodity prices worsen and persist in a worsened state for a prolonged period of time, an impairment of the Company’s mineral properties may be required.

Risks Relating to Financing the Company’s Business Operations

Substantial expenditures are required for commercial operations and if financing for such expenditures is not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to justify commercial operations.

Substantial expenditures are required to establish reserves through drilling, to develop processes to extract the resources and, in the case of new properties, to develop the extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for extraction. Although substantial benefits may be derived from the discovery of a major deposit, resources may not be discovered in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations or the funds required for development may not be obtained at all or on terms acceptable to the Company.

The Company’s expenditures are currently funded from its cash balances, which are the proceeds of previous equity financings. The Company will require significant additional capital in the future to meet its project-related expenditures, as it is unlikely that the Company will generate sufficient operating cash flow to meet all of its future expenditure requirements.

The Company has a history of losses and values attributed to the Company’s assets may not be realizable.

The Company has a history of losses and has no revenues from operations. None of the Company's properties is currently in production, and there is no certainty that the Company will succeed in placing any of its properties into production in the near future, if at all. The Company has no proven history of performance, revenues, earnings or success. The amounts attributed to the Company’s exploration concessions in its financial statements represent acquisition and exploration costs and should not be taken to represent realizable value with certainty. The Company anticipates continued losses for the foreseeable future until it can successfully place one or more of its properties into commercial production on a profitable basis. It could be years before the Company receives any revenues from any production of metals, if ever. If the Company is unable to generate significant revenues with respect to its properties, the Company will not be able to earn profits which would adversely affect its business and prospects.

The Company’s future liquidity will depend upon its ability to arrange significant additional debt or equity financing.

The Company’s future liquidity is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of its interests and future profitable production or, alternatively, upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its interests on a profitable basis. Given the Company has incurred losses from inception and does not have any operating cash flow, there can be no assurance that additional capital or financing will be available if needed or that, if available, the terms of such financings will be acceptable to the Company. If the Company raises additional funds through the sale of equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities, shareholders may have their equity interest in the Company diluted.

Adequate funding may not be available, resulting in the possible loss of the Company’s interests in its properties.

Sufficient funding may not be available to the Company for further exploration and development of its property interests. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of the Company’s properties. If the Company becomes unable to meet its share of costs incurred under agreements to which it is a party, the Company may have its property interests subject to such agreements reduced as a result or even face termination of such agreements. The Company also has options to acquire interests in properties in Mexico and in order to obtain ownership of such properties it must make payments to the current owners and incur certain exploration expenditures on those properties. Accordingly, additional financing will be required to secure ownership of these properties. Failure of the Company to make the requisite payments in the prescribed time periods will result in the Company losing its entire interest in the subject property and the Company will no longer be able to conduct certain aspects of its business as described in this AIF.

The Company may not have sufficient funds to: (a) make the minimum expenditures to maintain its properties in good standing under Mexican law; and (b) make the minimum expenditures to earn its interest in such properties. In such event, in respect of any of the properties, the Company may seek to enter into a joint venture or sell the subject property or elect to terminate its option.

The Company will require new capital to continue to operate its business and to continue with exploration on its properties, and additional capital may not be available when needed, if at all.

Risks Relating to the Development of the Juanicipio Project

Minera Juanicipio has not yet made a formal “Production Decision” at Juanicipio.

A feasibility study confirming the economic feasibility of the Minera Juanicipio project is contemplated as a condition precedent to the joint venture parties making a development decision. Minera Juanicipio has not completed a feasibility study on the Juanicipio Project and, accordingly, a formal “production decision” has not yet been considered by the Company and Fresnillo. The decision to commence the underground development and the access decline at the Juanicipio Project was made based on the results of the UPEA. While the approval of an initial $25.4 million development budget consistent with the recommendations of the UPEA, was unanimously approved by both shareholders of Minera Juanicipio, further development budgets have yet to be considered. Although Fresnillo has indicated in its public presentations that it expects Minera Juanicipio to be in production by 2018, there are no assurances that a formal development decision will be made or that production will be achieved by that date.

The financial results and the contemplated development timeline to production may not be consistent with the Technical Report.

Minera Juanicipio has not completed a pre-feasibility study or feasibility study on the Juanicipio Project and, accordingly, there is no estimate of mineral reserves. Rather, any decision to continue the development of the Juanicipio Project will be based upon the results of the UPEA, until, and if and when, further technical studies are completed by the Juanicipio Joint Venture.

The Technical Report includes the same preliminary economic assessment as the UPEA, but the Technical Report was commissioned independently by MAG, and not by the Juanicipio Joint Venture. The preliminary economic assessment set out in the Technical Report is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves and there is no certainty that the estimates described in the Technical Report will be realized. As a result, there are additional risks in commencing and completing construction based upon the Technical Report including additional risks as to the size and grade of the resource, capital and operating costs, mineral recovery and financial viability. There is no guarantee that the construction will be completed or, if completed, that production will begin or that operating or financial results will be consistent with the Technical Report.

The Juanicipio Project capital requirements and timeline to production contemplated in the Technical Report are subject to uncertainty.

The Technical Report estimated total project capital of $302 million for the Juanicipio Project inclusive of capitalized operating costs (MAG’s share is US$133 million), over 3.5 years from the start of development. Neither Minera Juanicipio, nor the Company has completed a pre-feasibility study or feasibility study on the Juanicipio Project and, accordingly, these estimates are subject uncertainty. The Technical Report is preliminary in nature and there is no certainty that the estimates described in the Technical Report will be realized. As a result, there are additional risks in commencing and completing construction based upon the Technical Report including that actual project capital costs may significantly exceed $302 million, and that the timeline to production may be longer than 3.5 years.

Risks Relating to the Company’s Property Titles

The Company’s mineral properties are subject to title risk and any challenge to the title to any of such properties may have a negative impact on the Company.

The Company's mineral property rights may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, transfers and claims and title may be affected by, among other things, undetected defects. Title to, and the area of, the mineral interests held by the Company may be disputed. A full investigation of legal title to the Company’s property interests has not been carried out at this time. Accordingly, title to these property interests may be in doubt. Other parties may dispute title or access to the properties in which the Company has an interest. The Company’s property interests may also be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or land claims and title may be affected by such undetected defects. Any challenge to the title or access to any of the properties in which the Company has an interest may have a negative impact on the Company as the Company will incur delay and expenses in defending such challenge and, if the challenge is successful, the Company may lose any interest it may have in the subject property.

Title opinions provide no guarantee of title and any challenge to the title to any properties may have a negative impact on the Company.

Although the Company has or will receive title opinions for any concessions in which it has or will acquire a material interest, there is no guarantee that title to such concessions will not be challenged or impugned. In Mexico, a title opinion does not provide absolute comfort that the holder has unconditional or absolute title. Any challenge to the title or access to any of the properties in which the Company has an interest may have a negative impact on the Company as the Company will incur expenses in defending such challenge and, if the challenge is successful, the Company may lose any interest it may have in the subject property.

Titles to the properties in which the Company has an interest that are not registered in the name of the Company may result in potential title disputes having a negative impact on the Company.

All of the agreements under which the Company may earn interests in properties have either been registered or been submitted for registration with the Mexican Public Registry of Mining, but title relating to the properties in which the Company may earn its interests may be held in the names of parties other than the Company. Any of such properties may become the subject of an agreement which conflicts with the agreement pursuant to which the Company may earn its interest, in which case the Company may incur expenses in resolving any dispute relating to its interest in such property and such a dispute could result in the delay, indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of properties or the possible loss of such properties.

Risks Related to Minority Investment in the Juanicipio Property

The Company is a minority shareholder of Minera Juanicipio and therefore may be dependent on, and subject to, the decisions of the majority shareholder.

The terms of the Shareholders Agreement governing the operation of Minera Juanicipio provide effective control to Fresnillo over many of the activities of Minera Juanicipio since it holds a majority (56%) of the shares of Minera Juanicipio. While a limited number of decisions of the shareholders or the directors of Minera Juanicipio require a special majority of 60%, and in one instance 75%, giving the Company an effective veto over any such decisions, the Company is a minority shareholder of Minera Juanicipio and is dependent on Fresnillo to manage the affairs of Minera Juanicipio and to do so in compliance with the Shareholders Agreement, the by-laws of Minera Juanicipio and applicable law.

The Shareholders Agreement calls for adjustments to the interests of the shareholders in Minera Juanicipio where either shareholder fails to fund cash calls within certain specified periods. If the Company fails to fund cash calls, it risks having its interest reduced, may lose its effective veto power over certain decisions and ultimately could be diluted out of Minera Juanicipio altogether. Fresnillo is a much larger entity with far greater access to financial resources than the Company.

The Company holds its Juanicipio Project interest through a joint venture and therefore may be adversely impacted by disputes with its joint venture partner.

The Company’s interest in the Juanicipio Project is also subject to the risks normally associated with the conduct of joint ventures. The existence or occurrence of one or more of the following circumstances and events, for example, could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operations and financial condition or the viability of its interests held through joint ventures: disagreement with joint venture partners on how to conduct business efficiently; inability of joint venture partners to meet their obligations to the joint venture or third parties; or litigation arising between joint venture partners.

The joint venture in respect of the Juanicipio Project is organized through a corporation (Minera Juanicipio) that is formed under and governed by the laws of Mexico. The laws in Mexico do not provide all of the same protections that available to shareholders of corporations that are formed under the laws of Canada or the United States. Accordingly, any dispute between the Company and Fresnillo as the shareholders of Minera Juanicipio could have a materially adverse effect on the Company.

In 2010, MAG initiated arbitration proceedings with the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”), and in May 2011, the Company announced that it had received a favourable unanimous ruling, dated April 28, 2011, of a three member arbitral panel of the International Court of Arbitration of the ICC with respect to the arbitration proceedings against its joint venture partner, Fresnillo. In its ruling, the arbitral tribunal awarded MAG $1.86 million in damages. Although this dispute between the Company and Fresnillo was ultimately determined in favour of the Company, there can be no guarantee that future disputes between the parties will not arise and lead to further litigation proceedings, the outcome of which is uncertain.

The Company has significant shareholders that may able to exert influence over the direction of the Company’s business.

Based upon the Company’s review of the insider reports filed with System for Electronic Disclosure by Insiders (“SEDI”), as at March 25, 2015, the Company believes that Fresnillo and its affiliates, Mason Hill Advisors LLC and its affiliates (“Mason Hill”) and Black Rock, Inc. and its affiliates (“Black Rock”), currently hold approximately 14.1%, 10.6% and 10.0%, respectively, of the Company’s Common Shares. Accordingly, Fresnillo, Mason Hill, and Black Rock, either in unison and/or individually, may have significant influence in determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to the shareholders of the Company for approval, including mergers and any proposed sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. Unless full participation of shareholders takes place in such shareholder meetings, Fresnillo, Mason Hill and/or Black Rock may be able to approve on its own, or effectively prevent the approval, of any such significant corporate transactions.

Further, the significant ownership of Common Shares by Fresnillo, Mason Hill and Black Rock may affect the market price and liquidity of the Common Shares. The effect of these rights and their influence may impact the price that investors are willing to pay for Common Shares. If any of these parties sells a substantial number of Common Shares in the public market, the market price of the shares could decrease.

The presence of a dominant shareholder like Fresnillo, that has: a) made a hostile bid attempt; b) is the operator of the Juanicipio Project; and c) has substantial property holdings surrounding the Juanicipio property, may give rise to potential conflicts of interest, as Fresnillo’s interests may differ from, or be adverse to, the interests of the Company’s other shareholders. Without the consent and cooperation of Fresnillo, Minera Juanicipio may be prevented from entering into transactions that would be beneficial to the Company and its other shareholders.

Risks Relating to the Continued Exploration on and value of the Cinco de Mayo Project

The Company may not be able to resolve its surface access issue at the Cinco de Mayo project.

At the Cinco de Mayo Property, some members of the local Ejido are aligned against the Company having surface right access, and the Company was asked to vacate the property in November of 2012. Although the Company is currently in the process of negotiating surface access to the Cinco de Mayo Property with the Ejido, and believes the matter will be resolved, there is no assurance that a surface access agreement will be attained and the overall timeline to successful resolution, if any, is not determinable at this time, in which case the Company’s interest in the property may be permanently impaired.

Further exploration and drilling can resume only upon obtaining a surface access agreement with the local Ejido.

Other Business Risks

The Company may be subject to litigation, the disposition of which could negatively affect the Company’s profits to varying degrees.

All industries, including the mining industry, are subject to legal claims, with and without merit. Due to the nature of its business, the Company may, in the future, be subject to claims (including class action claims and claims from government regulatory bodies) based on allegations of negligence, breach of statutory duty, public nuisance or private nuisance or otherwise in connection with its operations or investigations relating thereto. Defense and settlement costs can be substantial, even with respect to claims that have no merit. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the litigation process, the litigation process could take away from management time and effort and there can be no assurance that the resolution of any particular legal proceeding will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial position. Results of litigation are inherently uncertain and there can be no assurances as to the final outcome. The Company's liability insurance may not fully cover such claims. See also “The Company holds interests through joint ventures and therefore may be adversely impacted by disputes with joint venture partners.”

Environmental regulations are becoming more onerous to comply with, and the cost of compliance with environmental regulations and changes in such regulations may reduce the profitability of the Company’s operations.

Environmental legislation on a global basis is evolving in a manner that will ensure stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessment of proposed development and a higher level of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. The Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulations promulgated by government agencies from time to time. Environmental legislation provides for restrictions and prohibitions of spills, release or emission of various substances produced in association with certain mining industry operations, such as seepage from tailing disposal areas, which could result in environmental pollution. Failure to comply with such legislation may result in the imposition of fines and penalties. In addition, certain types of operations require submissions to and approval of environmental impact assessments. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which means stricter standards and enforcement, and more stringent fines and penalties for non-compliance. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and directors, officers and employees. The cost of compliance with environmental regulations and changes in such regulations may reduce the profitability of the Company’s operations. Compliance with environmental laws and regulations may require significant capital outlays on behalf of the Company and may cause material changes or delays in the Company's intended activities. The environmental impact assessments may impose the condition to the Company of obtaining the authorization from the indigenous communities where the mining activities are to be carried out.

Mineral exploration is a highly competitive industry.

The mineral exploration industry is intensely competitive in all of its phases and the Company must compete in all aspects of its operations with a substantial number of large established mining companies with greater liquidity, greater access to credit and other financial resources, newer or more efficient equipment, lower cost structures, more effective risk management policies and procedures and/or greater ability than the Company to withstand losses. The Company's competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new laws or regulations or emerging technologies, or devote greater resources to the expansion of their operations, than the Company can. In addition, current and potential competitors may make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties. Competition could adversely affect the Company's ability to acquire suitable new producing properties or prospects for exploration in the future. Competition could also affect the Company's ability to raise financing to fund the exploration and development of its properties or to hire qualified personnel. The Company may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and any failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.

The Company may face equipment shortages, access restrictions and a lack of infrastructure.

The majority of the Company’s mineral properties are located in remote and relatively uninhabited areas. The Company will require adequate infrastructure, such as roads, bridges and sources of power and water, for future exploration and development activities. The lack of availability of these items on terms acceptable to the Company or the delay in availability of these items could prevent or delay exploitation or development of the Company’s properties. In addition, unusual weather phenomena, sabotage, government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of such infrastructure could adversely affect our operations and profitability. Natural resource exploration, development, processing and mining activities are dependent on the availability of mining, drilling and related equipment in the particular areas where such activities are conducted. A limited supply of such equipment or access restrictions may affect the availability of such equipment to the Company and may delay exploration, development or extraction activities. Certain equipment may not be immediately available, or may require long lead time orders. A delay in obtaining necessary equipment could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations and financial results.

The Company is dependent on its key personnel, some of whom may not have entered into written agreements with the Company and none of whom are insured by the Company.

The Company is dependent upon the continued availability and commitment of its key management, employees and consultants, whose contributions to immediate and future operations of the Company are of central importance. The Company relies on its President & CEO, George Paspalas, and its other officers, who have entered into written employment agreements with the Company, for the day-to-day operation of the Company, its projects and the execution of the Company’s business plan. The Company has not obtained “key man” insurance for any of its management. The loss of any member of the senior management team could impair the Company's ability to execute its business plan and could therefore have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. The loss of George Paspalas may have a temporary negative impact on the Company until he is replaced.

The Company is dependent on Cascabel and IMDEX to oversee its operations in Mexico.

The Company is dependent upon the continued availability and commitment of Cascabel and IMDEX for the day-to-day supervision of the Company’s operations in Mexico. The Company also relies heavily on Dr. Peter Megaw, a principal of Cascabel and IMDEX, for the planning, execution and assessment of the Company’s exploration programs. Dr. Megaw and his team developed the geologic concepts and directed the acquisition of all the Company’s projects, including the Juanicipio Project and the Cinco de Mayo Property. Dr. Megaw was a director of MAG from February 6, 2006 to June 23, 2014 and has since been appointed the Company’s Chief Exploration Officer (although he is still remunerated through IMDEX). IMDEX is paid a fee for his services based on fair market rates and his submission of invoices for services rendered. The Company has not obtained “key man” insurance for Dr. Megaw. The loss of Dr. Megaw, or the services of Cascabel and IMDEX, could impair the Company's ability to execute its business plan in Mexico, and could therefore have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

If the Company is unable to hire, train, deploy and manage qualified personnel in a timely manner, particularly in Mexico, its ability to manage and grow its business will be impaired.

Recruiting and retaining qualified personnel is critical to the Company’s success. The number of persons skilled in acquisition, exploration and development of mining properties is limited and competition for such persons is intense. As the Company’s business activity grows, the Company will require additional key financial, administrative and mining personnel as well as additional operations staff, particularly in Mexico. The Company may not be successful in attracting, training and retaining qualified personnel as competition for persons with these skill sets increases. If the Company is not successful in attracting, training and retaining qualified personnel, the efficiency of its operations could be impaired, which could have an adverse impact on its future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition.

It may be particularly difficult to find or hire qualified personnel in the mining industry who are situated in Mexico, to obtain all of the necessary services or expertise in Mexico, or to conduct operations on the Company’s projects at reasonable rates. If qualified personnel cannot be obtained in Mexico, the Company may need to obtain those services outside of Mexico, which will require work permits and compliance with applicable laws and could result in delays and higher costs to the Company.

Conflicts of interest may arise among the Company's directors as a result of their involvement with other natural resource companies.

Most of the Company’s directors do not devote their full time to the affairs of the Company. All of the directors and some of the officers of the Company are also directors, officers and shareholders of other natural resource or public companies, and as a result they may find themselves in a position where their duty to another company conflicts with their duty to the Company. Although the Company has policies which address such potential conflicts and the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), has provisions governing directors in the event of such a conflict, none of the Company’s constating documents or any of its other agreements contains any provisions mandating a procedure for addressing such conflicts of interest. There is no assurance that any such conflicts will be resolved in favour of the Company. If any such conflicts are not resolved in favour of the Company, the Company may be adversely affected.

Foreign currency fluctuations and inflationary pressures may have a negative impact on the Company’s financial position and results.

The Company’s property interests in Mexico make it subject to foreign currency fluctuations and inflationary pressures which may adversely affect the Company’s financial position and results. Option agreements to acquire property interests in Mexico may result in option payments by the Company denominated in Mexican pesos, Canadian or US dollars over a period of years. Exploration and development programs to be conducted by the Company in Mexico will be partially funded in Mexican pesos and any appreciation in Mexican currency against the US dollar will increase the costs of carrying out operations in Mexico.

The Company has determined that its functional currency is the US dollar; however, it maintains a portion of cash balances in Canadian and Mexican pesos in order to fund expenditures in such currencies. The Company is therefore exposed to currency risks and exchange losses may be materialized on a devaluation of either the Canadian dollar or Mexican peso.

The steps taken by management to address foreign currency fluctuations may not eliminate all adverse effects and, accordingly, the Company may suffer losses due to adverse foreign currency fluctuations. The Company also bears the risk of incurring losses occasioned as a result of inflation in Mexico.

Mining operations generally involve a high degree of risk and potential liability and insurance coverage may not cover all potential risks associated with the Company’s operations.

Unusual or unexpected formations, power outages, labour disruptions, industrial accidents, flooding, explosions, cave-ins, seismic activity, rock bursts, landslides, pollution, inclement weather, fire, mechanical equipment failure and the inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labour are several of the hazards and risks involved in the conduct of exploration programs, any of which could result in personal injury or death, damage to property, environmental damage and possible legal liability for any or all damage. Safety measures implemented by the Company may not be successful in preventing or mitigating future accidents. The Company maintains insurance against risks in the operation of its business in amounts that it believes to be reasonable. Such insurance, however, contains exclusions and limitations on coverage and the Company's insurance may not cover all potential risks associated with the Company’s operations. There can be no assurance that any such insurance will continue to be available, will be available at economically acceptable premiums or will be adequate to cover any resulting liability. In some cases, such as with respect to environmental risks, coverage is not available or considered too expensive relative to the perceived risk. Losses resulting from any uninsured events may cause the Company to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations and financial condition. In addition, from time to time the Company may be subject to governmental investigations and claims and litigation filed on behalf of persons who are harmed while at its properties or otherwise in connection with the Company's operations. To the extent that the Company is subject to personal injury or other claims or lawsuits in the future, it may not be possible to predict the ultimate outcome of these claims and lawsuits due to the nature of personal injury litigation. Similarly, if the Company is subject to governmental investigations or proceedings, the Company may incur significant penalties and fines, and enforcement actions against it could result in the closing of certain of the Company's mining operations. If claims and lawsuits or governmental investigations or proceedings are finally resolved against the Company, the Company's financial performance, financial position and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Mineral prices and marketability fluctuate and any decline in mineral prices may have a negative effect on the Company.

Mineral prices, including gold, silver, zinc and lead prices, have fluctuated widely in recent years. The marketability and price of any minerals that may be acquired by the Company may be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include delivery uncertainties related to the proximity of potential reserves to processing facilities and extensive government regulation relating to price, taxes, royalties, allowable production land tenure, the import and export of minerals and many other aspects of the mining business.

Declines in mineral prices may have a negative effect on the Company and on the trading value of its shares.

Risks Relating to the Regulatory Environment

The Company is subject to anti-corruption laws.

The Company is subject to anti-corruption laws under the Canadian Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act, and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally prohibit companies from bribing or making other prohibited payments to foreign public officials in order to obtain or retain an advantage in the course of business. Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices may occur in Mexico or any other jurisdiction in which the Company may conduct business. The Company cannot ensure that its employees or other agents will not engage in such prohibited practices, for which the Company could face severe penalties, reputational damage and other consequences that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition. The Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to promote legal and ethical business conduct by its directors, officers and employees. However, the Company cannot provide assurance that this code, or other policies or procedures that it may adopt, will be sufficient to protect against corrupt activity. In particular, the Company may not be able to prevent or detect corrupt activity by employees or third parties, such as sub-contractors or joint venture partners, for which the Company might be held responsible.

The Company may be required by human rights laws to take actions that delay the advancement of its projects.

There are various international and national laws, codes, resolutions, conventions, guidelines and other materials that relate to human rights (including rights with respect to health and safety and the environment surrounding our operations). Many of these materials impose obligations on government and companies to respect human rights. Some mandate that government consult with communities surrounding our projects regarding government actions that may affect local stakeholders, including actions to approve or grant mining rights or permits. The obligations of government and private parties under the various international and national materials pertaining to human rights continue to evolve and be defined. One or more groups of people may oppose the Company’s current and future operations or further development or new development of its projects or operations. Such opposition may be directed through legal or administrative proceedings or expressed in manifestations such as protests, roadblocks or other forms of public expression against the Company’s activities, and may have a negative impact on its reputation. Opposition by such groups to the Company’s operations may require modification of, or preclude the operation or development of, its projects or may require the Company to enter into agreements with such groups or local governments with respect to its projects, in some cases causing considerable delays to the advancement of its projects.

Mexican Foreign Investment and Income Tax Laws apply to the Company.

Under the Foreign Investment Law of Mexico, there is presently no limitation on foreign capital participation in mining operations; however, the applicable laws may change in a way which may adversely impact the Company and its ability to repatriate profits. Under Mexican Income Tax Law, dividends paid out of “previously taxed net earnings” are not subject to Mexican corporate taxes. Otherwise, dividends are subject to the Mexican income tax at the corporate level, which presently is 30% over a gross up basis (amount of the dividend times 1.4286), payable by the Mexican company as an advance of its annual income tax. As of January 1, 2014, there is a new withholding tax on dividends paid by a Mexican company to Mexican individuals and non-Mexican shareholders of 10%. This withholding tax rate may be reduced under the applicable Tax Treaties to Avoid Double Taxation entered by Mexico.

Corporations with their tax residence in Mexico are taxed on their worldwide income, which include all profits from operations, income from investments not relating to the regular business of the corporation and capital gains. The current corporate income tax rate in Mexico is 30%. As of January 1, 2014, a mining royalty fee is in effect in Mexico of 7.5% on income before tax, depreciation, and interest, as well as an extraordinary governmental fee on precious metals, including gold and silver, of 0.5% of gross revenues, as described above under “Income Tax – New Tax Regime Effective January 1, 2014”. Among the amendments for 2014, Mexican companies are no longer allowed to partially deduct certain expenses such as fringe benefits paid to its employees which in turn are tax exempted for the same employees (e.g. food coupons, pension and retirement funds additional to those provided for under the Mexican Security Law).

The IETU Flat Tax (Impuesto Empresarial a Tasa Unica) which was structured as an alternative minimum tax was repealed effective January 1, 2014.

The VAT is an indirect tax levied on the value added to goods and services, and is imposed on corporations that carry out activities within Mexican territory, including (i) the sale or other disposition of property; (ii) the rendering of independent services; (iii) the granting of temporary use of property; or (iv) the importation of goods and services. The standard value added tax rate is 16%.

The Company’s activities in the properties are subject to extensive laws and regulations governed by Mexican regulators.

The Company's activities are subject to extensive laws and regulations governing worker health and safety, employment standards, waste disposal, protection of historic and archaeological sites, mine development, protection of endangered and protected species and other matters. Specifically, the Company’s activities related to its Mulatos Mine and the Salamandra Concessions are subject to regulation by the Mexican Department of Economy - Direccion General of Mines (“DGM”), the environmental protection agency of Mexico (“SEMARNAT”), Comisión Nacional del Aqua (“CONAGUA”), which regulates water rights, and the Mexican Mining Law. Mexican regulators have broad authority to shut down and/or levy fines against facilities that do not comply with regulations or standards.

The Company follows Canadian disclosure practices concerning its Mineral Resources which allow for more disclosure than is permitted for domestic U.S. reporting companies.

The Company’s mineral resource estimates are not directly comparable to those made by domestic U.S. reporting companies subject to the SEC’s reporting and disclosure requirements, as the Company reports resources in accordance with Canadian practices. These practices are different from the practices used to report resource estimates in reports and other materials filed by domestic U.S. reporting companies with the SEC in that the Canadian practice is to report measured, indicated and inferred resources. In the United States, mineralization may not be classified as a reserve unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of indicated resources will ever be converted into reserves. Further, “inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Disclosure of “contained ounces” is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC standards only as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. Accordingly, information concerning descriptions of mineralization and resources contained in this AIF may not be comparable to information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC. See “Cautionary Note to United States Investors.”

The Company may fail to maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

During the Company’s five most recent fiscal years, management has documented and tested its internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“SOX”). SOX requires an annual assessment by management of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and, for its fiscal years 2006 through 2011, SOX required an attestation report by the Company’s independent auditors addressing the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. However, in April 2012 the requirement of auditor attestation was, with respect to “emerging growth companies,” repealed by the “Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act” (“JOBS Act”). Because the Company is presently an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the JOBS Act, it is now exempt from the SOX requirement of auditor attestation regarding its internal controls over financial reporting. The Company may fail to maintain the adequacy of its internal control over financial reporting as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, and the Company may not be able to conclude, on an ongoing basis, that it has effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of SOX. The Company’s failure to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of SOX on an ongoing, timely basis could result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of its financial statements, which in turn could harm the Company’s business and negatively impact the trading price or the market value of its securities. In addition, any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm the Company’s operating results or cause it to fail to meet its reporting obligations. If the Company expands, the challenges involved in implementing appropriate internal control over financial reporting will increase and will require that the Company continues to monitor its internal control over financial reporting. Although the Company intends to expend time and incur costs, as necessary, to ensure ongoing compliance, it cannot be certain that it will be successful in complying with Section 404 of SOX.

Risks Relating to the Common Shares

Funding and property commitments may result in dilution to the Company’s shareholders.

The Company may sell equity securities in public offerings (including through the sale of securities convertible into equity securities) and may issue additional equity securities to finance operations, exploration, development, acquisitions or other projects. The Company cannot predict the size of future issuances of equity securities or the size and terms of future issuances of debt instruments or other securities convertible into equity securities or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of the Company's securities will have on the market price of the Common Shares. Any transaction involving the issuance of previously authorized but unissued Common Shares, or securities convertible into Common Shares, would result in dilution, possibly substantial, to security holders. Exercises of presently outstanding share options may also result in dilution to security holders.

The board of directors of the Company has the authority to authorize certain offers and sales of additional securities without the vote of, or prior notice to, shareholders. Based on the need for additional capital to fund expected expenditures and growth, it is likely that the Company will issue additional securities to provide such capital. Such additional issuances may involve the issuance of a significant number of Common Shares at prices less than the current market price for the Common Shares.

Sales of substantial amounts of the Company's securities, or the availability of such securities for sale, could adversely affect the prevailing market prices for the Company's securities and dilute investors' earnings per share. A decline in the market prices of Company's securities could impair the Company's ability to raise additional capital through the sale of securities should the Company desire to do so.

The price of the Company’s Common Shares is volatile.

Publicly quoted securities are subject to a relatively high degree of price volatility. It should be expected that continued fluctuations in price will occur, and no assurances can be made as to whether the price per share will increase or decrease in the future. In recent years, the securities markets in the United States and Canada have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of many companies, particularly those considered exploration or development stage companies, have experienced wide fluctuations in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. The factors influencing such volatility include macroeconomic developments in North America and globally, and market perceptions of the attractiveness of particular industries. The price of the Common Shares is also likely to be significantly affected by short-term changes in precious metal prices or other mineral prices, currency exchange fluctuations and the Company's financial condition or results of operations as reflected in its earnings reports. Other factors unrelated to the performance of the Company that may have an effect on the price of the Common Shares include the following: the extent of analyst coverage available to investors concerning the business of the Company may be limited if investment banks with research capabilities do not follow the Company's securities; lessening in trading volume and general market interest in the Company's securities may affect an investor's ability to trade significant numbers of securities of the Company; the size of the Company's public float may limit the ability of some institutions to invest in the Company's securities; and a substantial decline in the price of the securities of the Company that persists for a significant period of time could cause the Company's securities to be delisted from an exchange, further reducing market liquidity.

Securities class-action litigation often has been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. The Company may in the future be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and damages and divert management's attention and resources.

There is no assurance of a sufficient liquid trading market for the Company’s Common Shares in the future.

Shareholders of the Company may be unable to sell significant quantities of Common Shares into the public trading markets without a significant reduction in the price of their Common Shares, or at all. There can be no assurance that there will be sufficient liquidity of the Company’s Common Shares on the trading market, and that the Company will continue to meet the listing requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange or the NYSE MKT or achieve listing on any other public listing exchange.

The Company is a “passive foreign investment company”, which may have adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences for U.S. Holders of Offered Shares.

U.S. Holders of Offered Shares should be aware that the Company believes it was a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) during the tax year ended December 31, 2013, that it will be a PFIC for the current tax year and, based on current business plans and financial expectations, the Company may remain a PFIC in future tax years. If the Company is a PFIC for any year during a U.S. Holder's holding period, then such U.S. Holder generally will be required to treat any gain realized upon a disposition of Offered Shares, or any so-called “excess distribution” received on its Offered Shares, as ordinary income, and to pay an interest charge on a portion of such gain or distributions, unless the U.S. Holder makes a timely and effective “qualified electing fund” election (“QEF Election”) or a “mark-to-market” election with respect to the Offered Shares. A U.S. Holder who makes a QEF Election generally must report on a current basis its share of the Company's net capital gain and ordinary earnings for any year in which the Company is a PFIC, whether or not the Company distributes any amounts to its shareholders. A U.S. Holder who makes the mark-to-market election generally must include as ordinary income each year the excess of the fair market value of the Offered Shares over the shareholder’s basis therein. This paragraph is qualified in its entirety by the discussion below under the heading “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations – Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations.” Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisors regarding the PFIC rules and the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Offered Shares.

The Company, its principals and assets are located outside of the United States, which makes it difficult for U.S. litigants to effect service of process, or enforce, any judgments obtained against the Company or its officers or directors.

All of the Company’s assets are located outside of the United States and the Company does not currently maintain a permanent place of business within the United States. In addition, most of the directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons’ assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for U.S. litigants to effect service of process or enforce any judgments obtained against the Company or its officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of Canada, Mexico and other jurisdictions would recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against the Company or its directors and officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof, or be competent to hear original actions brought in Canada, Mexico or other jurisdictions against the Company or its directors and officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. Further, any payments as a result of judgments obtained in Mexico could be in pesos and service of process in Mexico must be effectuated personally and not by mail.

All of the Company’s mineral assets are located outside of Canada.

As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within Canada any judgments obtained against the Company or its officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of applicable securities laws. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of Mexico and other jurisdictions would recognize or enforce judgments of Canadian courts obtained against the Company or its directors and officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of Canada, or be competent to hear original actions brought in Mexico or other jurisdictions against the Company or its directors and officers predicated upon the securities laws of Canada. Further, any payments as a result of judgments obtained in Mexico should be in pesos and service of process in Mexico must be effectuated personally and not by mail.

The Company has outstanding common share equivalents which, if exercised, could cause dilution to existing shareholders.

As at March 25, 2015, the Company had 4,080,690 common share equivalents issued consisting of common shares issuable upon the exercise of 3,901,940 outstanding exercisable stock options (with a weighted average exercise price of C$8.63 per share), or issuable upon the conversion of 55,278 restricted share units (“RSUs”) and 123,472 deferred share units (“DSUs”) each convertible into one common share. Stock options are likely to be exercised when the market price of the Company’s Common Shares exceeds the exercise price of such stock options. RSUs may be converted at any time by the holder subject to vesting conditions, and the DSUs may only be converted by a departing director of the company.

The exercise of any of these instruments and the subsequent resale of such Common Shares in the public market could adversely affect the prevailing market price and the Company’s ability to raise equity capital in the future at a time and price which it deems appropriate. The Company may also enter into commitments in the future which would require the issuance of additional Common Shares and the Company may grant additional share purchase warrants, stock options, RSUs and DSUs. Any share issuances from the Company’s treasury will result in immediate dilution to existing shareholders’ percentage interest in the Company.

The Company has not paid dividends and may not pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

Payment of dividends on the Company’s Common Shares is within the discretion of the Company’s Board and will depend upon the Company’s future earnings if any, its capital requirements and financial condition, and other relevant factors. The Company anticipates that all available funds will be invested to finance the growth of its business for the foreseeable future.

MINERAL PROJECTS

The Company’s two material properties at the date of this AIF are its 44% joint venture interest in the Juanicipio property and the 100% owned Cinco de Mayo Property which hosts the Upper Manto Pb-Zn-Ag-Au deposit and the Pozo-Seco Mo-Au deposit.

All of the Company’s mining concessions are located in Mexico and are issued by the Federal Government of Mexico. All of the concessions held by the Company directly, or through option, are up to date with respect to Mexican Mining Concession Taxes and work filing requirements.

The majority of the Company’s mineral properties are located in remote and relatively uninhabited areas. There are currently no areas of interest to the Company within its mineral concessions that are overlain by significant habitation or industrial users. Notwithstanding this there are potential surface usage issues in some areas. Some surface rights are owned by local communities or “Ejido” and some surface rights are owned by private ranching or dwelling interests. Exploration activities are not typically materially impacted by competing surface rights issues, although in some areas the Company has been required to negotiate compensation for surface rights holders in order to secure right of access. The Company is required to negotiate either leases or acquire surface rights outright in those areas where it may wish to develop mining operations. At the Juanicipio property, Minera Juanicipio has acquired some surface rights overlying the Valdecañas and Juanicipio Veins. At the Cinco de Mayo Property, the Company is continuing its efforts to renew the surface access arrangements with the local Ejido (see ‘“Cinco de Mayo” above in “General Business Development,” Three Year History). The Company believes the Ejido access issue will be resolved and is working on a political and local basis to permanently secure surface access with the Ejido. No surface rights are owned outright on the Company’s remaining properties.

In some of the more remote property locations, the access to water, power and basic infrastructure is limited or non-existent. Any mining operations undertaken in such areas will need to take the supply of such requirements into consideration. For the Juanicipio, and Cinco de Mayo properties, the available supply or the ability to establish supply, of water, power and infrastructure is considered to be adequate or manageable.

Juanicipio Property

The following summary of the Juanicipio Project is extracted from a technical report titled “Technical Report on the Mineral Resource Update for the Juanicipio Joint Venture, Zacatecas State, Mexico” prepared by RPA (the “Technical Report”), which was filed on SEDAR July 3, 2014 and dated June 12, 2014 as amended June 30, 2014. The complete report can be viewed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The detailed disclosure , including project description and location, climate, local resources, infrastructure, physiography, history, geological setting, exploration, mineralization, drilling sampling, and Mineral Resource estimates, are contained in the Technical Report. The Technical Report is incorporated by reference into this AIF.

Readers are advised that the Technical Report supercedes and replaces in all respects the UPEA.

Executive Summary

RPA was retained by MAG to update the mineral resource estimate and prepare an independent Technical Report on the Juanicipio Joint Venture in Zacatecas State, Mexico. This Technical Report conforms to NI 43-101. MAG requires this report to support the updated mineral resource estimate for the property prepared by RPA and disclosed in a press release. RPA has visited the property several times, most recently on May 27, 2014. This Technical Report was amended as of June 30, 2014, to include enhanced cautionary language.

The Juanicipio property is owned by Minera Juanicipio, a joint venture between Fresnillo plc (Fresnillo, 56%) and MAG (44%), with Fresnillo acting as the operator. The major asset associated with the Juanicipio Joint Venture is a silver-gold-lead-zinc epithermal vein deposit.

An updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) was carried out by AMC Mining Consultants (Canada) Ltd. (“AMC”) in 2012 (the “2012 PEA”). The study defined Juanicipio as an economically robust, high-grade underground silver project exhibiting minimal financial or development risks that will produce an average of 15.1 million payable ounces of silver over the first full six years of commercial production and 10.3 million payable ounces per year over a 14.8 year total mine life. The 2012 PEA did not take into account any potential mining, processing, or infrastructure synergies from any association with the adjoining property owned by Fresnillo. The 2012 PEA was based on the resource estimate and model developed by Strathcona Mineral Services (“Strathcona”) dated November 2011.

The economic analysis in the PEA is preliminary in nature and is based, in part, on Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the PEA will be realized.

On October 28, 2013, MAG announced that the Joint Venture had commenced underground development. The ramp advancement work is being conducted by a contractor using a conventional drill and blast method and a continuous miner where possible.

Conclusions

MAG and joint venture partner Fresnillo have made a major discovery of low-sulphidation epithermal vein mineralization, located in the southwest part of the world-class Fresnillo silver mining district. The discovery is located in the northeast corner of the property and consists of two silver-gold-lead-zinc epithermal structures known as the Valdecañas and Juanicipio vein systems. Most exploration on the property has focused on these two vein systems. There is good exploration potential remaining at the Juanicipio Vein and elsewhere on the property, which remains largely underexplored. A significant exploration budget is warranted.

The updated Mineral Resource estimate reflects the drill results available as of December 31, 2013 including 40 new infill diamond drill holes completed since the previous resource estimate. The new estimate demonstrates a conversion of previously classified Inferred Resources into the Indicated category and reports a deep lower grade resource separately. The Mineral Resources on the Juanicipio Property are contained within the Valdecañas Vein system and the Juanicipio Vein. The updated resource estimate uses a cut-off of US$70/tonne Net Smelter Return (“NSR”), which includes values for silver, gold and base metals.

The Valdecañas and Juanicipio Veins display the vertical grade transition from upper silver rich zones to deep gold and base metal dominant areas that is typical of Fresnillo District veins, and epithermal silver veins in general. Previous resource estimates were largely based on the upper silver rich zones with limited influence from the deep base metal dominant zone. The recent infill drilling has greatly improved discrimination of the vertical compositional zonations, allowing the updated Mineral Resource estimate reported here to be manually divided into the upper Bonanza Grade Silver Zone (“BGS Zone”) and the Deep Zone (Tables 1-1 and 1-2). This division highlights both the improved confidence in the BGS Zone, through conversion of previously categorized Inferred Resources into Indicated Resources, and the initial definition of the Deep Zone.

The increased drill density provides a better understanding of the vein geometry and indicates that that the Valdecañas Vein comprises two overlapping “en-echelon” veins rather than a single vein offset by a fault. This reveals an area of overlap, with incrementally increased tonnage, especially in the BGS Zone. A number of new holes, targeted below the limits of the previous resource estimate, intersected significant widths (10.5 m to 25.8 m true thickness) of lower grade mineralization, which combined with previous deep intercepts led to the definition of the new Deep Zone resource.

Notes:

CIM definitions were followed for the classification of Mineral Resources.

Mineral Resources are estimated at an incremental NSR cut-off value of US$70/tonne

NSR values are calculated in US$ using factors of $0.57 per g/t Ag, $30.11 per g/t Au, $9.07 per % Pb, and $12.21 per % Zn. These factors are based on metal prices of US$21.50/oz Ag, US$1,250/oz Au, $0.91/lb Pb, and $0.99/lb Zn and estimated recoveries and smelter terms.

The Mineral Resource estimate uses drill hole data available as of December 31, 2013.

Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Totals may not add correctly due to rounding.

Combining the BSG Zone and the Deep Zone into a total resource by category, results in an overall increase in tonnage and a lower overall silver grade (Table 1-2).

NSR values are calculated in US$ using factors of $0.57 per g/t Ag, $30.11 per g/t Au, $9.07 per % Pb, and $12.21 per % Zn. These factors are based on metal prices of $21.50/oz Ag, $1,250/oz Au, $0.91/lb Pb, and $0.99/lb Zn and estimated recoveries and smelter terms.

The Mineral Resource estimate uses drill hole data available as of December 31, 2013.

Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

In RPA’s opinion the Juanicipio project has the potential to be developed into an economically robust, high-grade underground silver project. Further drilling and investigation work aimed at upgrading Inferred Mineral Resources and increasing the geotechnical and hydrogeological understanding of the deposit is required to form a firm base for the next stage of project design and evaluation.

RPA notes several changes since the 2012 PEA that would have an insignificant impact on the overall economic results:

Updated Mineral Resource as described in this report

Metal Prices

Payment Terms for concentrate

Cost Escalation

New Gold and Silver Tax (0.5% Gross Revenue)

New Mining Tax (7.5% on EBITDA)

Increased Corporate Tax rate (30% from 28%)

Increase in cut-off grade used to report Mineral Resources

RPA would expect an updated PEA to have similar economic results as the 2012 PEA, and believes that the 2012 PEA remains a reasonable representation of the property’s economic potential.

Recommendations

The Juanicipio property hosts a significant silver-gold-lead-zinc deposit and merits considerable additional exploration and development work. RPA recommends a budget of US$22.6 million (Table 1-3) for 2014 to advance the access ramp to the Valdecañas vein system and to explore elsewhere on the property. Work should include:

Continuing to advance the underground access ramp. The budget in the 2012 PEA estimates this work to be $11.4 million with MAG’s 44% share being $5 million.

10,000 m of drilling at the Valdecañas vein system to obtain a drill hole spacing no greater than 100 m in both the along-strike and up- and down-dip directions.

10,000 m of drilling for a property-wide exploration program including mapping, and drilling of new targets. Key criteria should be known mineralization, lineaments, and alteration.

In addition to the ramp advancement and continued drilling, RPA recommends the continuation of the environmental, engineering, and metallurgical studies as recommended in the 2012 PEA.

Technical Summary

Property Description and Location

The Juanicipio Joint Venture consists of a single concession covering 7,679.21 ha in central Zacatecas State, Mexico. It is centred at approximately 102° 58’ east longitude and 23° 05’ north latitude.

Land Tenure

The Juanicipio 1 exploitation concession has a 50 year life from the date it was issued and will expire on December 12, 2055. The Juanicipio Joint Venture holds the surface ownership over the area of interest in the northeast portion of the property which encompasses the Valdecañas Vein system, Juanicipio Vein, and the proposed tailings storage site north of the Juanicipio 1 mining concession.

Site Infrastructure

Site infrastructure consists of the following items:

a series of roads used to access drill sites, the decline and the mill site,

an underground access portal, and the start of an underground access ramp,

a surface explosive magazine, and

interim power lines.

History

Silver mineralization in the Fresnillo area was discovered in 1554. Although no records exist prior to the 1970s, the Juanicipio property was likely prospected sporadically over the years because of its proximity to the Fresnillo mining area.

Industrias Peñoles S.A. de C.V. (“Peñoles”) drilled several holes to the northeast of the property in the 1970s and 1980s. Detailed exploration of the areas adjoining the Juanicipio property was initiated by Fresnillo in 2006 based on results from the Valdecañas Vein discovery.

From 1998 to 2001, Minera Sunshine S.A. de C.V. (“Minera Sunshine”) completed an exploration program consisting of property-wide geological mapping, preliminary rock chip sampling, and Landsat image and air photo analysis. This was followed by more detailed geological mapping in areas of interest, additional Landsat image analysis, detailed geochemical sampling, and a limited Natural Source Audio Magnetotelluric (“NSAMT”) geophysical survey. Drilling targets were identified, prioritized and fully permitted but never drilled due to Minera Sunshine’s bankruptcy.

In July 2002, Minera Lagartos S.A. de C.V. (“Minera Lagartos”) optioned the Juanicipio 1 concession. On August 8, 2002, MAG entered into an agreement whereby it could acquire 98% of the issued and outstanding shares of Minera Lagartos. This agreement was later amended such that MAG could acquire a 99% interest in Minera Lagartos and a beneficial ownership of the remaining 1% interest.

From May 2003 to June 2004, MAG completed 10 drill holes for a total of 7,595 m and during this exploration program, discovered the Juanicipio Vein and cut what would later be discovered to be the upper and deep parts of the Valdecañas Vein outside of the thick and high grade Bonanza Zone.

On April 4, 2005, MAG announced that it had entered into a joint venture agreement with Peñoles whereby Peñoles could earn a 56% interest in the property. Fresnillo, then Peñoles’ wholly-owned operating division, and MAG formed a new company, Minera Juanicipio, to operate the joint venture.

On July 25, 2008, MAG filed a technical report on the Juanicipio Project which included an initial Mineral Resource estimate. That report covered work on the property to December 31, 2007. The Mineral Resource estimate was then updated by RPA (then Scott Wilson RPA) in early 2009 based on drill hole results available to January 29, 2009. On September 14, 2009, MAG announced the results of the independent preliminary assessment by Tetra Tech WEI Inc. for development of the Valdecañas Vein as a potential stand-alone silver mine. On December 1, 2010, MAG announced a Juanicipio resource estimation and update prepared by RPA (then Scott Wilson RPA). A NI 43-101 technical report to support the resource update was filed on SEDAR on January 14, 2011. On November 10, 2011, MAG announced an updated Juanicipio resource estimate prepared by Strathcona on behalf of Minera Juanicipio. On December 19, 2011, MAG announced an updated resource estimate by RPA. On June 14, 2012, MAG announced an updated PEA study prepared by AMC on behalf of Minera Juanicipio. The 2012 PEA was based on the resource model prepared by Strathcona.

Geology

The Juanicipio property lies on the western flank of the Central Altiplano, just east of the Sierra Madre Occidental range. Basement rocks underlying the western Altiplano are a late Palaeozoic to Mesozoic assemblage of marine sedimentary and submarine volcanic rocks belonging to the Guerrero Terrane that were obducted onto older Palaeozoic and Precambrian continental rocks during the early Jurassic. These were then overlapped by a Jurassic-Cretaceous epi-continental marine and volcanic arc sequence that in the Fresnillo area is represented by the Proaño and Chilitos formations. The late Cretaceous to early Tertiary Laramide Orogeny folded and thrust faulted the basement rocks in the entire area and preceded the emplacement of mid-Tertiary plutons and related dykes and stocks.

On the Juanicipio property, the dominant structural features are: (i) 340° to 020°, or north-south structures; (ii) 290° to 310° trending, steeply dipping faults; and (iii) lesser 040° to 050° structures. From field observations, the north-south structures appear to be steeply dipping normal faults that cut and down-drop blocks of silicified tuff, especially in the vicinity of Linares Canyon. More important to the silicification appears to be the 290° to 310° trending, steeply to moderately dipping faults. These faults occur where silicification and advanced argillic alteration are most intense and may have served as major hydrothermal fluid pathways.

The two significant silver-gold epithermal structures discovered to date on the Juanicipio property are known as the Valdecañas and Juanicipio vein systems. Both veins strike east-southeast and dip 35° to 55° southwest. The Valdecañas structure hosts the majority of the Mineral Resources currently estimated on the property.

Mineralization consists of precious metal rich, banded, or brecciated quartz-pyrargyrite-acanthite-polybasite-galena-sphalerite veins. The veins have undergone multiple mineralizing events as suggested by various stages of brecciation and quartz sealing, local rhythmic microcrystalline quartz-pyrargyrite banding, and open-space cocks-comb textures and vuggy silica. The vein exhibits the characteristic metal zoning of the principal veins in the Fresnillo district, observed as a change from silver and gold rich zones at the top to increased base metals in the deeper intersections.

Mineral Resources

A set of cross sections and plan views were interpreted to construct three-dimensional wireframe models of the mineralized veins using the descriptive logs, a minimum NSR value of approximately US$70 per tonne, and a minimum thickness of two metres. Prior to compositing to two metre lengths, high grades were cut to 6,000 g/t Ag, 16 g/t Au, and 15% for both lead and zinc. Classification into the Indicated and Inferred categories was guided by the drill hole density and the apparent continuity of the mineralized zones.

The updated Mineral Resource estimate dated December 31, 2013 is listed in Table 1-1.

The following summary sections are summarized from the NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Juanicipio Property prepared by AMC dated July 1, 2012. In RPA’s opinion, these sections remain reasonable for this stage of study.

Geotechnical Considerations

Cretaceous sedimentary rocks, which host the veins, are overlain by Tertiary volcanic rocks across the majority of the project site, except for two surface outcrops located southwest of the Valdecañas Vein. Rock quality in moderate to slightly weathered Cretaceous sedimentary rocks typically consists of poor to fair quality rocks with localized zones of high fracture frequency. Rock quality within the Tertiary volcanic rocks varies greatly from extremely poor to good. Veins are characterized by typically good rock quality, but geotechnical data relating to the veins is extremely limited.

Hydrogeological information on the project area has not yet been collected. The study assumes that the rock mass in the project area will be generally dry except in fault zones, which have been assumed to produce medium inflows.

Mining Methods

AMC considered use of the following stoping methods at the project:

Down-hole benching with uncemented rockfill (modified Avoca).

Long-hole open stoping (“LHOS”) with cemented backfill.

Cut-and-fill with uncemented backfill.

In AMC’s opinion, LHOS with cemented backfill is the most suitable method for the veins, mainly because of the higher recovery achievable using this method. LHOS with cemented backfill can be used in both steeply dipping and shallow dipping parts of the deposit. It is envisaged that some steeper dipping lower grade parts of the veins will be mined using the lower cost Avoca method.

Truck haulage, shaft hoisting, and conveying were considered for transferring ore and waste from the mine workings to surface. The trucking option was selected on the basis of its lower up-front capital cost and lower overall net present cost. However, there are relatively small cost differences between the options and the trucking option is sensitive to future increases in fuel and labour costs. In AMC’s opinion ongoing consideration is warranted on the option of constructing a hoisting shaft to a depth of about 450 m.

It is envisaged that access to the mine will be via a decline driven at a nominal gradient of 1:7. The access decline will connect to a number of internal declines providing access to stoping levels positioned at either 15 m or 20 m vertical intervals, depending on the dip of the vein. It is envisaged that mining will be carried out using modern trackless mining equipment. The proposed mine ventilation circuit will include a number of ventilation shafts, raise bored from surface.

Mineral Processing

Two sets of metallurgical test work were carried out in 2008 and 2009, on metallurgical samples composited from drill holes samples taken from the Valdecañas Vein. No metallurgical test work has yet been carried out relating to the Juanicipio Vein.

The proposed process plant consists of a comminution circuit followed by the sequential flotation of a silver-rich lead concentrate, a zinc concentrate, and a gold-rich pyrite concentrate.

It is envisaged that the process plant will commence operation at a throughput rate of 850,000 tpa, which will be increased to 950,000 tpa when production from the Juanicipio Vein commences.

Estimated mill recoveries and concentrate grades are summarized in Table 1-4.

TABLE 1-4 MILL RECOVERIES AND CONCENTRATE GRADES

MAG Silver Corp. - Juanicipio Joint Venture

	Gold	Silver	Lead	Zinc
Recoveries to lead concentrate	69%	81%	93%	8%

Zinc concentrate grades	0.95 g/t	637 g/t	0.33%	52.0%
Recovery to pyrite concentrate	19%	6%	–	–

Project Infrastructure

A 9.8 km access road, mostly over hilly terrain, will be required to access the site. A two-lane unsealed road suitable for use by heavy vehicles hauling concentrates is proposed.

Power would be supplied to a main substation at the site via a 115 kV overhead power line from an existing power line and substation located to the north of the property. The line would have a length of approximately 5.2 km. The average power demand for the site is estimated at 11.9 MW.

Three water catchment dams are envisaged for the site. The dams would be used to store water from the mine dewatering system and from rainfall. A hydrogeological study will be carried out during further studies.

The Joint Venture has purchased 125 ha of relatively flat-lying land suitable and adequate for the proposed five million cubic metres tailings storage facility (“TSF”). This land lies to the northeast of the proposed mill site along the proposed access road from the JV area to the regional highway. The necessary detailed environmental and geotechnical studies for this TSF site have been outlined but not yet initiated.

Project Development and Production Schedule

Following satisfactory completion of further studies, and subject to the application for and grant of the necessary permits and licences, it is estimated that it will take approximately three and a half years to develop the project from the start of the box cut and portal to mill start-up.

The estimated tonnage and grade of material mined and processed that forms the basis for the economic assessment is set out in Table 1-5. Mill feed from vein development comprises approximately 19% of total mill feed, with the remainder from stoping operations.

Waste	3.0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

Note: The tonnage and grades of the material mined and processed were derived from the 2011 Strathcona Mineral Resources. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability

The tonnages and grades shown in Table 1-5 do not reflect the 2014 updated Mineral Resource estimate that includes 40 new infill diamond drill holes completed since the previous resource estimate, but rather have been derived from the Mineral Resource estimate and vein model prepared in 2011 by Strathcona by applying a $65 NSR cut-off grade to the resource model and then allowing for dilution, and design and mining losses. Metal prices used in the NSR calculation were $1,210 per ounce gold, $22.10 per ounce silver, $0.94 per pound lead, and $0.90 per pound zinc and an exchange rate of 12.50 Mexican pesos to one US dollar. In developing the tonnage and grade estimates, stope blocks that were in contact with the property boundaries were excluded and zero grades have been assumed for the dilution material.

Capital and Operating Costs

Project capital is estimated at $302 million, inclusive of capitalized operating costs (costs usually related to the operation of the mine, but incurred prior to first concentrate production). Sustaining capital of $267 million results mainly from the need for ongoing mine development after concentrate production commences, including development of the Juanicipio Vein, and the need for mobile equipment replacements over the mine life.

Total site operating costs have been estimated at approximately $67/t milled. The unit costs are broken down as follows:

Mining: $43.92/t milled.

Milling: $19.18/t milled.

General and Administration: $3.46/t milled.

Project Revenue

Project economics have been analyzed using the following metal prices (Base Case Prices), which are based on the three year trailing average prices to the year ending December 2011:

Silver price = $23.39/oz

Gold price = $1,257/oz

Lead price = $0.95/lb

Zinc price = $0.91/lb

It is envisaged that silver rich zinc concentrate will be sold primarily to smelters in the Asian region. Lead concentrate could potentially be sold to a smelter in Mexico or exported to offshore smelters. The gold-rich pyrite concentrate will be sold to a customer able to recover the gold and silver values.

Economic Analysis

Table 1-6 summarizes the results of the economic analysis. Employee profit sharing (“PTU”) is not included in the financial estimates and the net present value (“NPV”) and internal rate of return (“IRR”) of the project may fluctuate depending on how the project is structured once it is in operation.

Sensitivity

The NPV of the project is most sensitive to changes in the silver price and will have similar sensitivity to silver head grade. The NPV is less sensitive to costs. The project maintains a positive NPV over the range of sensitivities tested.

Cinco de Mayo Property

The following summary of the Cinco de Mayo Property is extracted from a technical report titled “Technical Report on the Upper Manto Deposit, Chihuahua, Mexico”, which was filed on SEDAR November 16, 2012 and dated November 14, 2012 (the “Cinco de Mayo Technical Report”). The complete report can be viewed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The detailed disclosure , including project description and location, climate, local resources, infrastructure, physiography, history, geological setting, exploration, mineralization, drilling sampling, and Mineral Resource estimates, is contained in the Cinco de Mayo Technical Report. The Cinco de Mayo Technical Report is incorporated by reference into this AIF.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

RPA was retained by MAG Silver Corp. (MAG) to prepare an independent Technical Report on the Upper Manto deposit (the Project), located on MAG’s 25,000 ha Cinco de Mayo property (the Property), Chihuahua, Mexico. The purpose of this report is to support the Mineral Resource estimate prepared by RPA and disclosed by MAG in a press release dated October 3, 2012. This Technical Report conforms to NI 43- 101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. RPA visited the Property most recently on October 2 and 3, 2012.

The Upper Manto Pb-Zn-Ag (Au) deposit, formerly known as the Jose Manto-Bridge Zone deposit, consists of two parallel and overlapping manto deposits referred to as the Jose Manto and the Bridge Zone. The Property also hosts the Pozo Seco Mo-Au deposit, however, this Technical Report focuses solely on the Upper Manto deposit. A separate Technical Report on the Pozo Seco deposit was prepared in 2010 and remains current since the two deposits host distinctly different mineralization with different commodities, are separated by four kilometres and small mountain range, will potentially be mined by different methods, underground for Upper Manto and open pit for Pozo Seco, and have no significant synergies between them.

CONCLUSIONS

MAG has made a major carbonate replacement deposit (CRD) discovery at its 100% owned Cinco de Mayo Property in northern Chihuahua, Mexico. Diamond drilling has outlined manto mineralization with three-dimensional continuity, and size and grades that can potentially be extracted economically. MAG’s protocols for drilling, sampling, analysis, security, and database management meet industry accepted practices. The drill hole database was verified by RPA and is suitable for Mineral Resource estimation work.

RPA estimated Mineral Resources for the Upper Manto deposit using drill hole data available as of September 1, 2012. At an NSR cut-off of US$100/t, Inferred Mineral Resources are estimated to total 12.45 million tonnes of 132 g/t Ag, 0.24 g/t Au, 2.86% Pb, and 6.47% Zn. The total contained metals in the resource are 52.7 million ounces of silver, 785 million pounds of lead, 1,777 million pounds of zinc, and 96,000 ounces of gold. Drill sections were spaced at 100 m to 250 m along strike with intercepts on each section averaging 50 m apart down dip. The resource remains open in several directions. There are no Mineral Reserves estimated on the Property.

The 61.6 m of massive sulphide intercept, known as the Pegaso Zone, located deeper in hole CM-12-431 was not included in this resource estimate. That intercept indicates excellent potential for a much larger resource at depth, however, additional drilling is required to establish the geometry of the Pegaso Zone.

A significant exploration budget is warranted.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The Upper Manto deposit hosts a significant silver-zinc-lead-gold deposit and merits considerable work. RPA recommends a Phase 1 budget of US$12.1 million (Table 1-1) to advance the Project and explore elsewhere on the Property. Work should include:

50,000 m of infill drilling at the Upper Manto deposit.

7,500 m of drilling at the Pegaso Zone to explore for extensions of the known mineralization.

2,000 m of drilling for a property-wide exploration program including mapping, and drilling of new targets.

TABLE 1-1 PROPOSED BUDGET

MAG Silver Corp. – Upper Manto Deposit

Item	US$
Infill drilling at Upper Manto (50,000 m at $150 m)	7,500,000
Exploration drilling at Pegaso (7,500 m at $180/m)	1,350,000
Exploration drilling elsewhere on property (2,000 m at $150/m)	300,000
Geophysics (seismic survey)	1,000,000
Metallurgical testwork	100,000
Other engineering studies	250,000
Operating Costs / Office	500,000
Sub-total	11,000,000
Contingency (10%)	1,100,000
Total	12,100,000

The recommended Phase 2 budget of US$10 million would be contingent of Phase 1 results.

Work would include additional drilling at Pegaso, metallurgical testwork, and a Preliminary Economic Assessment.

TECHNICAL SUMMARY

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION AND LAND TENURE

The Upper Manto deposit is located on MAG’s Cinco de Mayo Property in north central Chihuahua State, 190 km northwest of the state capital of Chihuahua City. Chihuahua City is a major city with a population of approximately 750,000. The Property is located immediately west of the village of Benito Juárez, accessible along dirt roads. The Property is centred at 305,000mE, 3,340,000mN (NAD 27 Mexico, Zone 13).

The Project consists of 29 concessions totalling 25,113.2049 ha located in the Municipio de Buenaventura. The concessions are wholly owned by MAG subject to a 2.5% net smelter return (NSR) royalty due to Minera Cascabel S.A. de C.V. (Cascabel). MAG has indicated that there are no outstanding environmental liabilities associated with the Project or the Property.

HISTORY

Small scale mining took place in the Property area in at least twelve locations sometime prior to the 1990s. In the mid-1990s, an affiliate of Industrias Peñoles S.A. de C.V. (Peñoles) drilled six reverse circulation holes for a total of 1,368 m to test several silicified zones. In 1992, the area was visited by Peter Megaw on behalf of Teck Corporation (Teck) as part of a reconnaissance program in Chihuahua State carried out from 1991 to 1994. Megaw determined that the area exhibited characteristics favourable for large CRDs. Teck’s field work included reconnaissance mapping and detailed sampling of the jasperoid veins along Cinco de Mayo Ridge. Teck transferred the Property to Cascabel in early 2000 with no retained interest. Cascabel continued to stake claims until 2003. In 2004, MAG optioned the ground from Cascabel.

GEOLOGY AND MINERALIZATION

Cinco de Mayo is located on the western margin of the Chihuahua Trough, the same environment which hosts several other important CRDs in Mexico. The Chihuahua Trough is a Jurassic marine basin generally composed of evaporites, clastic sedimentary rocks, and carbonates.

The Property is dominated by the Sierra Santa Lucia, a northwest-trending 600 m high limestone range roughly 3.5 km wide and 12 km long. Cinco de Mayo Ridge is an elongate limestone ridge, 400 m wide by 2,000 m long off the east side of the Sierra Santa Lucia. The Sierra Santa Lucia lies directly above the western bounding fault of the Chihuahua Trough and there is strong local evidence that this fault functioned subsequently as a major shear zone. There are numerous mineralization and alteration occurrences associated with this fault zone throughout the Sierra Santa Lucia and adjacent hills.

The Upper Manto Pb-Zn-Ag (Au) deposit consists of two parallel overlapping manto deposits referred to as Jose Manto and the Bridge Zone. There are four styles of mineralization at the Upper Manto deposit including manto mineralization, massive sulphide mineralization, garnet-pyroxene skarn, and vein and veinlet mineralization.

EXPLORATION

Work by MAG began in mid-2004 with preliminary regional geological mapping, followed by geochemical, biogeochemical, and geophysical surveys in 2005 to 2009. Combining the geological, geochemical, biogeochemical, and geophysical data and interpretations, MAG developed a series of drill targets along a prominent northwest trending fault zone that cuts strongly folded massive limestone and limestone-rich sedimentary rocks.

As of September 1, 2012, 445 holes totalling 213,591 m have been drilled on the Property. Of these, 151 holes totalling 97,610 m are located at or nearby the Upper Manto deposit and were used to model the mineralization.

MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE

RPA prepared a Mineral Resource estimate for the Upper Manto deposit based on drilling results available up to September 1, 2012 (Table 1-2 and 1-3). There are no Mineral Reserves estimated for the Project at this time.

Notes:

1. CIM definitions were followed for the classification of Mineral Resources.

2. Mineral Resources are estimated at an NSR cut-off value of US$100 per tonne.

3. NSR values are calculated in US$ using factors of $0.60 per g/t Ag, $12.32 per g/t Au, $18.63 per % Pb

and $14.83 per % Zn. These factors are based on metal prices of US$27.00/oz Ag, US$1,500/oz Au,

$1.15/lb Pb, and $1.20/lb Zn and estimated recoveries and smelter terms.

4. The Mineral Resource estimate uses drill hole data available as of September 1, 2012.

5. Totals may not add correctly due to rounding

A total of six zones were modelled, with the largest, Manto M10, extending from the northwest part of the Jose Manto deposit to partway into the Bridge Zone and measuring 2,500 m long by 350 m down dip by 1.5 m to 9 m thick. The zones extend from surface to a depth of 950 m below surface.

Grade interpolations for silver, gold, lead, zinc, and density were made using inverse distance cubed with a minimum of one to a maximum of twelve composites per block estimate. Hard boundaries were used to limit the use of composites between mantos. The search ellipse was 250 m by 250 m by 100 m oriented in the plane of the mantos. Gold values greater than 1 g/t were restricted to a maximum of 75 m.

Other Properties

The Company has two other exploration property interests as at December 31, 2014:

the Guigui project, a 100% interest in a 8,300 hectare property in the Santa Eulalia Mining District, home to the world’s largest CRD camp; and,

the Salamandra project, an option earn in agreement to earn up to a 70% interest in what looks to be a typical Mexican CRD-Skarn, located in Durango State, Mexico.

For more information on these properties, see the Company’s most recently completed Management’s Discussion and Analysis which is available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

At this time, the Company is focused primarily on epithermal vein exploration along the Fresnillo Silver Trend and on CRD exploration along the western edge of the Chihuahua Trough. The Company is constantly looking for other opportunities that could offer us the potential to meet our exploration objectives.

DIVIDENDS

The Company has neither declared nor paid dividends on its Common Shares. The Company has no present intention of paying dividends on its Common Shares, as it anticipates that all available funds will be invested to finance the growth of its business.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STRUCTURE

The Company’s authorized capital consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares without par value and an unlimited number of Preferred Shares without par value, of which 69,173,076 Common Shares were issued and outstanding and no Preferred Shares were issued and outstanding as at March 25, 2015.

Common Shares

A holder of a Common Share is entitled to one vote for each Common Share held on all matters to be voted on by the Company’s shareholders. Each Common Share is equal to every other Common Share and all Common Shares participate equally on liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other distribution of our assets among the Company’s shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs after the Company has paid out its liabilities. The shareholders are entitled to receive pro rata such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore and to receive pro rata the remaining property of the Company upon dissolution. No shares have been issued subject to call or assessment. There are no pre-emptive or conversion rights, and no provisions for redemption, retraction, purchase or cancellation, surrender, sinking fund or purchase fund.

Shareholder Rights Plan

On January 18, 2008, the shareholders of the Company approved a shareholder rights plan (the “Rights Plan”). The Rights Plan was adopted to ensure the fair treatment of shareholders in connection with any take-over bid for Common Shares of the Company. The Rights Plan was not adopted in response to any proposal to acquire control of the Company. The Rights Plan provides for expiry at the end of the third annual general meeting of the Company’s shareholders following initial approval, unless renewed by the shareholders.

On February 22, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company approved certain amendments (the "Amendments") to the Rights Plan in the form of an amended and restated shareholder rights plan agreement. On March 24, 2009, the Amendments were approved by the Company’s shareholders at the annual and special meeting of shareholders and by the Toronto Stock Exchange.

On May 14, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the continuation of its Rights Plan substantially in the form set forth in the shareholder’s rights plan agreement between the Company and Computershare Investor Services Inc. dated as of August 3, 2007, as amended and restated on March 24, 2009.

Cease trade orders, bankruptcies, penalties or sanctions

Richard Clark is the President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of RB Energy Inc. On October 14, 2014, RB Energy Inc. applied for and obtained an Initial Order (the "Order") to commence proceedings under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (the "CCAA") in the Québec Superior Court (the "Court"). The Court issued the Order in respect of RB Energy Inc. and its Canadian subsidiaries. The Order granted an initial stay to November 13, 2014 and has since been extended to April 30, 2015. Pursuant to the Order, all proceedings on the part of creditors were stayed, effectively forestalling any demand for payments or subsequent legal action from them.

Other than as described above, none of the other directors or officers is currently, or has been within the past ten years, (A) a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of any company that (i) was subject to an order that was issued while such person was acting in the capacity as director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer, or (ii) was subject to an order that was issued after such person ceased to be a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer and which resulted from an event that occurred while such person was acting as a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer, or (B) a director or executive officer of any company that, while such person was acting in such capacity, or within a year of such person ceasing to act in such capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets. None of the management nominees has within the past ten years become bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or become subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors, or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold the assets of such person. None of the management nominees has been subject to (1) any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority or has entered into a settlement agreement with a securities regulatory authority or (2) any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body that would likely be considered important to a reasonable security holder in deciding whether to vote for such person.

Conflicts of Interest

The Company’s directors and officers may serve as directors or officers of other companies or have significant shareholdings in other resource companies and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which the Company may participate, the directors and officers of the Company may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the extent of such participation. In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the Company’s directors, a director who has such a conflict will disclose his interest in the matter and abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms. From time to time several companies may participate in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties thereby allowing for their participation in larger programs, permitting involvement in a greater number of programs and reducing financial exposure in respect of any one program. It may also occur that a particular company will assign all or a portion of its interest in a particular program to another of these companies due to the financial position of the company making the assignment. In accordance with the laws of British Columbia, the directors of the Company are required to act honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. In determining whether or not the Company will participate in a particular program and the interest therein to be acquired by it, the directors will primarily consider the degree of risk to which the Company may be exposed and its financial position at that time.

The directors and officers of the Company are aware of the existence of laws governing the accountability of directors and officers for corporate opportunity and requiring disclosures by the directors of conflicts of interest and the Company will rely upon such laws in respect of any directors’ and officers’ conflicts of interest or in respect of any breaches of duty by any of its directors and officers. All such conflicts will be disclosed by such directors or officers in accordance with the laws of British Columbia and they shall govern themselves in respect thereof to the best of their ability in accordance with the obligations imposed upon them by law. Other than as disclosed under the heading “Interest of Management and Others in Material Transactions” below, the directors and officers of the Company are not aware of any such conflicts of interests.

Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) that applies to all of its directors, officers and employees, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The Code includes provisions covering conflicts of interest, ethical conduct, compliance with applicable government laws, rules and regulations, and accountability for adherence to the Code. A copy of the Code is posted on the Company’s website, at www.magsilver.com.

No director, executive officer or principal shareholder of the Company, or any associate or affiliate of the foregoing, has had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction within the three most recently completed financial years or during the current financial year prior to the date of this AIF that has materially affected or is reasonably expected to materially affect the Company, except as otherwise disclosed in this AIF and as follows:

Dr. Peter Megaw, of Arizona, USA, became a member of the Board of Directors of the Company on February 6, 2006 and ceased to be a member of the Board of Directors on June 23, 2014. Dr. Megaw has since been appointed Chief Exploration Officer of the Company, although he continues to be remunerated through IMDEX as outlined below, with the exception of equity incentives (stock options and restricted share units), which are granted directly to Dr. Megaw.

Dr. Megaw is a principal of Minera Bugambilias, S.A. de C.V. (“Bugambilias”) and Minera Coralillo, S.A. de C.V. (“Coralillo”). The Company acquired the mineral claims of the Batopilas property in 2005 from Bugambilias and Bugambilias has retained a NSR royalty interest in that property, although the property has now been written off by the Company effective December 31, 2014. The Company acquired the mineral claims of the Guigui property in 2002 from Coralillo and Coralillo has retained a NSR royalty interest in that property. As noted above in “Other Business Risks,” Dr. Megaw is also a principal of IMDEX and Cascabel. The Company is obligated to a 2.5% NSR royalty on the Cinco de Mayo property payable to the principals of Cascabel under the terms of an option agreement dated February 26, 2004, whereby the Company acquired a 100% interest in the property from Cascabel, and under the terms of assignment agreements entered into by Cascabel with its principals. Further, Cascabel has been and will continue to be retained by the Company as a consulting geological firm compensated at industry standard rates.

The Company accrued or paid Cascabel and IMDEX the following fees under the Field Services Agreement:

For year ended December 31			2014	2013
	Cascabel & IMDEX	IMDEX related to Dr. Megaw	Total	Total
General consulting, travel and administration fees	$205,760	$226,983	$432,743	$315,662
Exploration management, field costs and cost reimbursements (at cost + 10%) + MAG properties(1)	919,298	192,931	1,112,229	2,160,051
	1,125,058	419,914	1,544,972	2,475,713

(1) does not include drilling and assays, which are contracted out independently from Cascabel & IMDEX.

Within the Field Services Agreement between the MAG and Cascabel/IMDEX, a ‘Right of First Refusal’ has been granted to MAG for any silver properties Cascabel/IMDEX may come across. As part of this agreement, Cascabel/IMDEX have agreed to grant MAG the right of first refusal to examine all silver properties currently in their control, or brought to their attention by others. MAG, and solely at MAG’s discretion, may lease, option, purchase, joint venture or otherwise acquire an interest in such silver properties as may be known or offered by Cascabel/IMDEX to MAG. In recognition of the work carried out by Cascabel/IMDEX to introduce such properties to MAG, a reasonably negotiated Finders Fee may be payable by MAG on any new property of merit.

Upon the retirement of Dan MacInnis as President & Chief Executive Officer, on October 15, 2013, the Company entered into a consulting contract with a private company controlled by Mr. MacInnis, to which it paid or accrued consulting fees of C$548,232 in the year ended December 31, 2014 (December 31, 2013: C$114,215).

MAG SILVER CORP.

(the “Corporation”)

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

General

The Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) has established an Audit Committee (the “Committee”) to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities. The Committee will review and oversee the financial reporting and accounting process of the Corporation, the system of internal control and management of financial risks, the external audit process, and the Corporation’s process for monitoring compliance with laws and regulations and its own code of business conduct. In performing its duties, the Committee will maintain effective working relationships with the Board, management, and the external auditors and monitor the independence of those auditors. To perform his or her role effectively, each Committee member will obtain an understanding of the responsibilities of Committee membership as well as the Corporation’s business, operations and risks.

The Corporation’s independent auditor is ultimately accountable to the Board and to the Committee. The Board and Committee, as representatives of the Corporation’s shareholders, have the ultimate authority and responsibility to evaluate the independent auditor, to nominate annually the independent auditor to be proposed for shareholder approval, to determine appropriate compensation for the independent auditor, and where appropriate, to replace the outside auditor. In the course of fulfilling its specific responsibilities hereunder, the Committee must maintain free and open communication between the Corporation’s independent auditors, Board and Corporation management. The responsibilities of a member of the Committee are in addition to such member’s duties as a member of the Board.

Members

The Board will in each year appoint a minimum of three (3) directors as members of the Committee. All members of the Committee shall be non-management directors and shall be independent within the meaning of all applicable U.S. and Canadian securities laws and the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange and the NYSE MKT LLC, unless otherwise exempt from such requirements.
