MAG Silver Corp. is a Canadian development and exploration company focused on becoming a top-tier primary silver mining company by exploring and advancing high-grade, district scale, silver-dominant projects in the Americas. Its principal focus and asset is the Juanicipio Project (44%), being developed with Fresnillo plc (“Fresnillo”) (56%), the operator. The project is located in the Fresnillo Silver Trend in Mexico, the world's premier silver mining camp, where the operator is currently developing an underground mine and constructing a 4,000 tonnes per day processing plant. Underground mine production of mineralized development material commenced in Q3 2020. The mine was brought into commercial production in January 2022 and the plant is awaiting final electrical tie-in in the coming weeks. An expanded exploration program is in place at Juanicipio targeting multiple highly prospective targets. MAG is also executing a multi-phase exploration program at the Deer Trail 100% earn-in Project in Utah and has recently acquired the Larder Project located in the historically prolific Abitibi region of Canada.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022

(expressed in thousands of US dollars except as otherwise noted)

MAG owns 44% of Minera Juanicipio, S.A. de C.V., (“Minera Juanicipio”), a company incorporated under the laws of Mexico, which owns the high-grade silver Juanicipio Project located in the Fresnillo District, Zacatecas State, Mexico. Fresnillo is the project operator and holds the remaining 56%. On December 27, 2021, for various business reasons, the Company and Fresnillo incorporated Equipos Chaparral, S.A. de C.V. (“Equipos Chaparral”) in the same ownership proportions as Minera Juanicipio for the purpose of holding the Juanicipio plant and mining equipment, to be leased to Minera Juanicipio. As MAG has a 44% interest in each of Minera Juanicipio and Equipos Chaparral, the two are collectively referred to herein as “Juanicipio”.

As shareholders of Juanicipio, Fresnillo and MAG jointly approved project mine development on April 11, 2019 and project construction of the plant commenced immediately and the underground mine development continued. A 4,000 tonne per day (“tpd”) processing facility has been constructed with commissioning planned to commence upon the electrical tie-in to the national power grid which is expected in the coming weeks (see ‘Processing Plant Construction – Juanicipio Project’ below). Since August of 2020, mineralized development material and more recently initial stope material from the underground mine is being processed at Fresnillo’s nearby processing plants. This processing was originally targeted at an average nominal rate of 16,000 tonnes per month but has since increased to an average of 48,000 tonnes per month in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and an average of 51,000 tonnes per month in the three months ended June 30, 2022. This processing at the Fresnillo plants is expected to continue until the Juanicipio plant is fully commissioned (see ‘Underground Mine Production– Juanicipio Project’ below).

The mineralization on the Juanicipio Project consists of high-grade silver-gold-lead-zinc epithermal vein deposits. The principal vein, the Valdecañas Vein, has dilatant zones (bulges) at its east and west extremes and several en echelon vein splays and cross-veins – the term “Valdecañas Vein” is used to refer to this combined vein system. In addition, exploration continues both on the Valdecañas Vein system and on other prospective targets within the Juanicipio mining concession (see ‘Juanicipio Project’ below for a detailed current project update).

Development and production from, and exploration of the Juanicipio Project are all being carried out by the project operator, Fresnillo, with MAG being represented in all Juanicipio board, technical committee and ad-hoc meetings. Construction and commissioning of the processing plant is under the guidance of an Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management contract entered into with an affiliate of Fresnillo. MAG’s share of project costs is currently being funded by cash flow from underground mine production, by cash calls through its 44% interest in Juanicipio and, to a lesser extent, incurred directly by MAG to cover expenses related to its own commissioned technical studies and analyses, as well as direct project oversight. Juanicipio is governed by a shareholders’ agreement and corporate by-laws, pursuant to which each shareholder is to provide funding pro-rata to its ownership interest.

In 2017, MAG commissioned AMC Mining Consultants (Canada) Ltd. to prepare a Resource Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Juanicipio Project (collectively, the “2017 PEA”), which was completed in accordance with NI 43-101 and announced by the Company on November 7, 2017, with the MAG Silver Juanicipio NI 43-101 Technical Report (Amended and Restated) filed on SEDAR and on EDGAR on January 19, 2018.

MAG SILVER CORP.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022

(expressed in thousands of US dollars except as otherwise noted)

The 2017 PEA incorporated major overall project upgrades over prior assessments, highlighted by the delineation and provision for mining of greatly expanded Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources discovered in the Deep Zone, as defined in the 2017 PEA. The independent estimates of the Mineral Resources of the Juanicipio Project in the 2017 PEA were compiled using exploration data available up to December 31, 2016 and do not include the results of drilling programs undertaken since then (2017-2022) designed to further expand and infill the Deep Zone and define the upper limits of the Bonanza Zone (see Exploration – Juanicipio Project below). The volume of the base metal-rich Deep Zone Mineral Resources identified in the 2017 PEA contributed to a significant expansion of project scope and enhancements to most aspects of the mine design. Truck haulage, shaft hoisting, and underground conveying, along with underground crushing of the mineralized rock are all projected to be utilized for delivering the mineralized material to the surface processing plant. As envisioned in the 2017 PEA, the process plant has a planned production rate of 4,000 tpd, and will include a semi-autogenous grinding (“SAG”)/ball mill comminution circuit followed first by a gravity concentrator and then sequential selective flotation to produce a silver-rich lead concentrate, a zinc concentrate and a gold-rich pyrite concentrate. The plant and the associated tailings storage facilities have been built on open and flat Juanicipio-owned land just north of the conveyor ramp portal.

Based on the 2017 PEA, MAG views the Juanicipio Project as a robust, high-grade, high-margin underground silver project exhibiting low development risks. While the results of the 2017 PEA are promising, by definition, a Preliminary Economic Assessment is preliminary in nature and includes Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too geologically speculative to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability and there is no certainty that Mineral Resources will ever become Mineral Reserves. There can therefore be no certainty that the anticipated results of the 2017 PEA will be realized. In addition, the 2017 PEA was commissioned independently by MAG, and not by Juanicipio. The actual development plan and timeline may be materially different from the scope, design and results envisaged in the 2017 PEA (see Juanicipio Project and Risks and Uncertainties below).

Total Juanicipio Project expenditures incurred and capitalized by Juanicipio (on a 100% basis) for Q2 2022 amounted to approximately $37,998 (six months ended June 30, 2022: $71,574). Of the total expenditures $34,625 (six months ended June 30, 2022: $65,266) are development expenditures, $2,033 are exploration expenditures (six months ended June 30, 2022: $3,622), and the remaining $1,340 is capitalized shareholder loan interest (six months ended June 30, 2022: $2,686). Gross profit (sales less cost of sales including depreciation and amortization) from processing Juanicipio mineralized development and stope material at the Fresnillo plants for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 totaled $37,262 and $83,483, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2021: $8,883 and $17,082, respectively) on a 100% basis (see ‘Underground Mine Production – Juanicipio Project’ below).

Mineralized material from the Juanicipio Project is being campaign processed at the nearby Fresnillo and Saucito plants (both 100% owned by Fresnillo), with metals being refined and sold on commercial terms under the Juanicipio long term off-take agreements. During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, approximately 60% of the total tonnage processed was through the Saucito plant. The Saucito plant flowsheet better resembles that of the Juanicipio flowsheet and will provide further valuable metallurgical benefits as production commences at Juanicipio. The resulting concentrates are treated in Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022

(expressed in thousands of US dollars except as otherwise noted)

In the three months ended June 30, 2022, a total of 154,069 tonnes of mineralized development and stope material were processed through the Fresnillo plants. The resulting payable metals sold and processing details are summarized in the following table below. The sales and treatment charges for tonnes processed in Q2 2022 were recorded on a provisional basis and will be adjusted in Q3 2022 based on final assay and pricing adjustments in accordance with the offtake contracts.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022

(expressed in thousands of US dollars except as otherwise noted)

⁽¹⁾Provisional sales for 2020 were finalized in Q1 2021 resulting in negative adjustment to net sales of $1,146.

⁽²⁾ The underground mine is now in stopes with mineralized and development material being processed through Fresnillo’s plants and refined and sold, and effectively readied for its intended use.

The average silver head grade for the mineralized development and initial stope material processed in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was 567 g/t and 582 g/t (three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was 361 g/t and 405 g/t, respectively). This increased grade reflects more stoped vein material being processed. Metal recovery and concentrate grades are in line with expectations from the initial metallurgical test work conducted on Valdecañas.

The decrease in 2022 net sales quarter-on-quarter ($55,224 in the current quarter compared to $64,916 in the first quarter) was a function of a 15% reduction in realized blended metal prices as well as a 1% decrease in blended metal volumes driven predominantly by lower milled grades.

From August 2020 to June 30, 2022, a total of 623,319 tonnes of mineralized material have been processed at the two Fresnillo processing plants. By bringing forward the start-up of the underground mine and processing mineralized development and stope material at the Fresnillo plants in advance of commissioning the Juanicipio plant, MAG and Fresnillo expect to secure several positive outcomes for the Juanicipio Project:

The Juanicipio Project team delivered the 4,000 tpd processing plant for commissioning in the fourth quarter of 2021. However, according to the operator Fresnillo and as previously reported, the state-owned electrical company (Comision Federal de Electricidad “CFE”), notified Fresnillo late in December 2021 that the regulatory approval to complete the tie-in to the national power grid could not yet be granted and that the Juanicipio plant commissioning timeline was therefore extended by approximately six months. During the first half of 2022, Fresnillo has indicated that they were focused on complying with the requirements from the CFE and the energy regulator, and expected the tie-in to the power grid in mid-2022, with commissioning of the Juanicipio processing plant expected to commence concurrently. Good progress was made on the required power system shutdowns to enable the final tie-in of the Juanicipio sub-station to the national power grid. Commencement of electrical commissioning of the plant is expected to occur in the coming weeks. (see Outlook below).

In the interim, stoping and mine development at Juanicipio continues. In order to minimize any potential adverse economic effect of the revised commissioning timeline, Fresnillo has indicated it will continue to make available unused plant capacity at its Fresnillo and Saucito operations to process mineralized material produced at Juanicipio during this period. The effect on cash flow generation from Juanicipio has therefore been mitigated while the power connection approvals have been pending (and as noted above, expected to occur in the coming weeks).

Access to the mine is via twin underground declines that extend to the top of mineralization in the Valdecañas Vein. From the top of mineralization, the upper footwall haulage/access drift has been driven the length of the vein and three internal spiral production ramps are being extended from the drift to depth in the footwall of the mineralized envelope (vein). The three spiral ramps are situated behind the mineralized envelope to provide access to stopes within the vein and allow a planned mining rate of 4,000 tpd. Initial cross-cuts through the vein have been made from a number of points along the footwall ramps. Most expose well-mineralized vein and this initial development indicates that the grade and width of the mineralization is in line with previous drill core-based estimates. As discussed above, the mineralized material encountered in this underground development and from initial stopes, is being processed at the nearby Fresnillo owned processing plants (see Underground Mine Production above).

Once in full production, mineralized material from mining of the vein will be hauled to an underground crushing station (already excavated) and crushed underground. The crushed mineralized material will be trucked to the flotation plant until the conveyor is completed, which is expected to be in Q4 2022. When the conveyor is completed, the crushed mineralized material will be conveyed directly from the underground crushing station to the process plant area via a third ramp to the surface - the underground conveyor ramp. The conveyor ramp is over 90% complete and is being driven both from the surface and from the underground crushing chamber. This ramp will also provide access to the entire Valdecañas underground mining infrastructure and serve as a fresh air entry for the ventilation system. As well, the long-term mine ventilation system is nearing completion. The #1 and #2 ventilation shafts have been commissioned and ventilating some of the lower areas of the mine.

Total underground development to date is approximately 52km (32 miles), including 3.7 km (2.3 miles) completed during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Underground mine infrastructure is well advanced and development continues to focus on:

Due to the poor rock quality on the western section of the upper Valdecañas Vein, cut and fill will be the chosen mining method for the higher levels in this section. A trial longhole stope has been in operation for the past year, and this will be the preferred mining method through the main central section and eastern side of Valdecañas Vein and ultimately the west side as well once ground conditions improve with depth.

Labour reform legislation on subcontracting and outsourcing in Mexico was published on April 23, 2021 and came into effect on September 1, 2021 (see Risks and Uncertainties below). With various restrictions on hiring contractors, Fresnillo, as operator, has indicated a need to internalize a significant portion of its contractor workforce and perform much of the development work directly rather than outsourcing it to contractors, and hence invest in equipment either not previously in the project scope or not envisaged to be required until later in the mine life, to be utilized in underground operations. As well, certain underground development expenditures related to processing development material and some small items brought forward from project investments planned in the future are considered sustaining capital by Fresnillo. The costs incurred are expected to reduce future sustaining capital costs and totaled approximately $7,601 on a 100% basis in the six months ended June 30, 2022. These costs are included in the current Juanicipio development costs but are not considered by the operator as part of the $440,000 initial project capital.

The Juanicipio Project initial capital or pre-operative project capital cost (“capex”) on a 100% basis, as estimated from January 1, 2018, is expected to be $440,000 and according to the operator Fresnillo, the project construction is expected to be delivered on budget.

With the plant ready to commence commissioning once connected to the power grid (expected in the coming weeks– see ‘Processing Plant Construction – Juanicipio Project’ above), final construction costs are expected to wind down until final commissioning and testing commence. Meanwhile, the amount of mineralized development and stope material being processed at the two Fresnillo plants since Q4 2021 has been significantly higher than the original targeted rate of 16,000 tonnes per month. Mineralized material from initial stopes is now being processed as well. The expected cash flow from this ongoing campaign processing, along with the cash held by Juanicipio at June 30, 2022 of $37,504 on a 100% basis, are expected to fund the remaining capital expenditures in the $440,000 budget (a cash call has not been needed since mid-December 2021 which was $21,000 on a 100% basis). Should there be additional funding requirements related to further commissioning delays (see Risks and Uncertainties below) or for additional sustaining capital to be funded prior to attaining commercial production in excess of the cash flow generated, there may still be further cash calls required from Fresnillo and MAG (see Liquidity and Capital Resources below).

Fresnillo, as operator, reports that commissioning of the Juanicipio processing plant is expected to come in on budget and the plant is expected to ramp up to 85-90% of the nameplate 4,000 tpd capacity by the end of 2022. In contrast, the 2017 PEA originally envisioned ramp-up to full production over 3 years after commissioning of the processing plant. An Operator Services agreement has been finalized which will become effective upon the declaration of commercial production, whereby Fresnillo and its affiliates will continue to operate the mine. Until the Juanicipio processing plant is commissioned, mineralized development material and initial stope material from Juanicipio is being processed at the Fresnillo and Saucito processing plants (both 100% owned by Fresnillo), with the lead (silver-rich) and zinc concentrates treated at market terms under off-take agreements with Met-Mex Peñoles, S.A. de C.V. (a Fresnillo affiliate) in Torreón, Mexico.

Fresnillo has engaged closely with the CFE and ‘El Centro Nacional de Control de Energía’ (“CENACE”) to do all that it can to expedite the necessary approvals and comply with requirements to complete the tie-in to the national power grid. The connection to the grid is the last step prior to initially feeding lower grade mineralized material through the grinding mills and mineralized material has been conveyed to the fine ore bin in preparation for this processing. Although there remains some uncertainty regarding the timing for the power connection (see Risks and Uncertainties below), according to Fresnillo, the connection to the power grid is expected in the coming weeks, with full load commissioning of the Juanicipio processing plant expected to commence immediately thereafter.

According to Fresnillo, the Juanicipio development is expected to create approximately 1,720 jobs once at full production, with potential to scale-up operations in the future beyond 4,000 tpd.

Most of the Juanicipio concession remains unexplored with many untested targets still to be pursued within the property. Drilling in recent years has been primarily designed to both convert the Inferred Mineral Resources included in the Deep Zone into Indicated Mineral Resources and to further trace mineralization to depth.

The planned expenditures for the 2022 Exploration Program total $7,000 on a 100% basis, for drilling programs designed to expand and convert the Inferred Mineral Resources included in the Deep Zone into Indicated Mineral Resources and to explore other parts of the Juanicipio concession. Drilling is in progress with 5 surface rigs as well as an additional underground rig. The drilling is focused on infilling the Valdecanas Vein System including Anticipada, Pre-Anticipada and the Venadas structures.

In mid-January 2022, drilling began on the first hole on the “Cesantoni Kaolinite Pits”(“Cesantoni”) target. Cesantoni lies in the northwestern corner of the Juanicipio concession, roughly 6 km west of the Valdecañas Vein and related underground infrastructure. Thousands of tonnes of mixed kaolinite-illite clays have been mined over the last 25 years by the Cesantoni Ceramics Company from a series of pits developed along the strong northeast-trending Cesantoni structure. This orientation is almost orthogonal to the northwest-trending veins that dominate the district, but is roughly parallel to the high-grade Venadas Vein family that cuts the NW-trending Valdecañas Vein. The extent of kaolinite-illite alteration at Cesantoni is much greater than that seen elsewhere in the district and may indicate passage of very large volumes of hydrothermal fluids. The top of anticipated mineralization at Cesantoni is expected to occur at depths similar to those elsewhere in the Juanicipio concession (350 to 500 m below the surface).

Initial planning as laid out by project operator, Fresnillo, is to drill 5 core holes totaling 6,000 m. Drilling is being done with a highly portable rig to minimize surface disturbance. The program is progressing well and the Company expects to release assays once the program is concluded and requisite QAQC has been finalized.

The 2021 Juanicipio exploration program was completed with a spend of $6,296 on a 100% basis and was focused on continued step-out and infill drilling of the Valdecañas Vein System (including independent targeting of the Venadas Vein family and the Anticipada Vein). Drilling for the program began in January 2021 with four drill rigs and a fifth drill rig was added mid-year. Three of the drill rigs were dedicated to Devico directional drilling. In total, 23 surface-based drill holes (targets) were successfully completed with 21 being deep infill or step-out holes on the Valdecañas Vein System and two exploration holes on other parts of the Juanicipio concession, resulting in 29,421 m drilled. The two exploration holes away from Valdecañas were drilled in a northeastern corner of the concession and both intercepted narrow veins with high grade silver and gold and no base metals suggesting these intercepts are high in the system.

The Company’s interpretation of the 2021 Valdecañas drill results is below, with a complete set of assay tables by vein of the 2021 drilling results available at: https://magsilver.com/site/assets/files/6439/mda_mj_exploration-supplemental-assay-tables.pdf along with various long sections detailing the results, available at: https://magsilver.com/geological-long-sections/ .

Most of the holes in the 2021 exploration program were directed at the Valdecañas Vein Deep Zone, with 13 coincidental intercepts of the Anticipada and 8 more for Pre-Anticipada, and various other hangingwall and footwall veins (see above noted links). Four holes cut the Venadas Vein Family and two holes were directed at a postulated vein lying to the northwest of the Valdecañas Vein System in the northeast corner of the concession. Most intercepts are comparable to previously drilled neighbouring holes with no major deviations either towards higher or lower grades or thicknesses. With the completion of the 2021 drilling program, the intercept density on the Valdecañas Vein Deep Zone is approaching that on the Bonanza Zone and confirms the continuity of mineralization in the Valdecañas Vein to depth.

The driving of development headings and test stopes in the Valdecañas Vein Bonanza Zone has been accompanied by channel sampling across the vein every 3 to 10 m. Samples are mostly 1 m in length and honour geology as much as possible. Importantly, the results of this detailed sampling show that the grade distribution in the vein is very close to that shown by both the initial 50 m – 70 m spaced surface-based drilling and the 25m spaced underground drilling, which adds substantial confidence in the width and grade continuity indicated by the surface drilling for the balance of the vein.

Quality Assurance and Control: The samples (half core) are shipped directly in security-sealed bags to ALS-Chemex Laboratories preparation facility in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico (Certification ISO 9001). Samples shipped also include intermittent standards and blanks. Pulp samples are subsequently shipped to ALS-Chemex Laboratories in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada for analysis. Two extra pulp samples are also prepared and are analyzed (in progress) by SGS Laboratories (Certification ISO 9001) and Inspectorate Laboratories (Certification ISO 9001) (or another recognized lab). The remaining half core is placed back into the core boxes and is stored on site with the rest of the drill hole core in a secured core storage facility. The bulk reject is subsequently sent to the Center for Investigation and Technical Development (“CIDT”) of Peñoles in Torreon, Coahuila State, Mexico for metallurgical testing where a fourth assay for each sample is analyzed and a calculated head grade is received on the basis of a concentrate balance. The CIDT also does a full microscopic, XRF and XRD mineralogical analysis.

The Juanicipio Project operator, Fresnillo, continues to closely monitor the spread of the COVID-19 virus and has implemented a range of safety measures in accordance with the World Health Organization and Mexican Government guidelines.

As previously reported, the consequences of COVID-19 have had an impact on the commissioning timetable for the Juanicipio processing plant which is currently expected to commence commissioning in the coming weeks. Further impacts of this pandemic could create or include significant COVID-19 specific costs, further delays in plant commissioning, volatility in the prices for silver and other metals, further restrictions or temporary closures, additional travel restraints, supply chain disruptions and workforce interruptions, including loss of life. Depending on the duration and extent of the impact of COVID-19, this could materially impact the Company’s financial performance, cash flows and financial position, and could result in material changes to the costs and time for the completion of development at Juanicipio. The total amount that the Company is required to finance in order to maintain its proportionate ownership in the project may increase from these and other consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak. See ‘Virus outbreaks may create instability in world markets and may affect the Company’s Business’ in ‘Risk and Uncertainties’ below.

MAG executed an earn-in agreement (the “Agreement”) effective December 20, 2018 to consolidate and acquire 100% of the historic Deer Trail mine and surrounding Alunite Ridge area in Piute County, Utah USA (the “Deer Trail Project”). The Deer Trail Project includes a mixture of patented and unpatented claims totaling approximately 5,600 hectares (“ha”). The counterparties to the Agreement (the “Parties”) contributed their respective Deer Trail claims and property rights to a newly formed company for a 99% interest in the company, with MAG holding the other 1% interest. MAG is the project operator and has the right to earn a 100% interest in the company and the Deer Trail Project, with the Parties retaining a 2% net smelter returns (“NSR”) royalty. In order to earn in 100%, MAG must make a total of $30,000 in escalating annual expenditures ($13,302 expended to June 30, 2022) and $2,000 in advanced royalty payments ($450 paid to June 30, 2022), both over the 10-year term of the agreement by 2028. The combined optional annual commitments do not exceed $2,500/year until after 2025, and all minimum obligatory commitments under the Agreement have been satisfied (see Exploration and Evaluation Assets below).

Deer Trail is a silver-rich Carbonate Replacement Deposit (“CRD”) project potentially related to a Molybdenum-Copper Porphyry system or systems immediately to the west. Consolidating the property package allows MAG to apply its integrated district scale exploration model and apply new technology to the search for an entire suite of mineralization styles expected to occur on the property.

The combined property package came with decades of information generated through prior exploration programs focused on the historic Deer Trail mine itself, the inferred Porphyry centres and veins scattered throughout the property. These data include: extensive surface and underground geological maps; geochemical sampling results; logs, core and chips from over 20,000 m of historic drilling; a districtwide airborne magnetic survey; 15 line kilometers (“km”) of Audio Magneto-Telluric (“AMT”) geophysics, and 2.5 km of U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) certified underground workings. Infrastructure and access to the property are excellent. Pre-existing disturbances identified by MAG have been proactively addressed by MAG and reviewed by governmental regulators, leaving no significant environmental legacy issues.

See the ‘Deer Trail Project’ below for a project exploration update on Phase I and Phase II drill programs.

The Deer Trail Project displays and satisfies MAG’s top criteria when exploring for large CRD systems, specifically: the presence of high silver grades; location on a deep-penetrating regional-scale fault known to host other major CRD-family deposits; location at the top of a thick section of favorable host rocks; and an identifiable plumbing network of faults that localized mineralization.

MAG’s exploration focus on the project is to seek the source of the historically mined high-grade silver-lead-zinc-copper-gold Deer Trail manto in the thick section of high-potential limestone host (Redwall Limestone) that regional mapping indicates lies just below the interlayered sedimentary and limestone sequence that hosts the Deer Trail mine. On this basis, the 2021 Phase I drill program saw the completion of three holes totaling 3,927 m drilled from surface (see Press Release September 7, 2021). The program successfully fulfilled all three of its planned objectives by:

Two of the three holes from Phase I drilling (holes DT21-02 and 03 – see Press Release September 7, 2021) cut high-grade, multi-stage massive sulphide replacement mineralization in Callville Formation limestones above the Redwall Limestone. Notably, the silver grades in both those holes are comparable to those of the historic Deer Trail massive sulfides, which suggests limited vertical zoning despite being up to 740 m deeper in the system. One of the holes appears to have cut mineralization directly within the Red Fissure fault, while the other appears to be manto-style mineralization fed from the nearby Wet fault. A follow up program (Phase II drilling) is targeting these mineralized structures down dip within the clean carbonates of the Redwall.

Phase II commenced at the Deer Trail Project in Q3 2021 and is planned for 5,000 m of drilling over 5 holes and is in progress. Deviation/directional drilling is being used in Phase II to make the drilling more efficient and accurate. In part, to facilitate the directional drilling, drilling contractors were changed in Q1 2022, with the new contractor having resumed drilling subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2022. To date, three holes of Phase II have been successfully completed. The first completed hole of Phase II is an offset of hole DT21-03 designed to test the Wet fault 150 m deeper where it cuts through the Redwall Limestone. The second completed hole is a 200 m offset of hole DT21-02 to test the Red Fissure structure within the Redwall Limestone. The third completed hole is a 1000m offset of DT21-03 designed to test an entirely new area south of the historic mine and drilling area. All assays are pending.

Phase II drilling at the Deer Trail Project remains in process subsequent to the quarter end. Planned for 5 holes totaling 5,000 m of drilling, 2 holes have been completed to date (assays pending) with the balance currently underway with one drill. Deviation/directional drilling is currently being used to test defined targets utilizing previous boreholes without the need to re-drill through difficult ground.

Other highly prospective areas of the large property package are also being considered for further exploration and subsequent drill testing. An orientation AMT geophysical survey undertaken on the alluvium mantled slope at the base of Deer Trail Mountain indicates that the alluvium may be much thinner than previously believed and that drilling targets may also exist under this shallow cover. Environmental baseline studies and permitting in these prospective areas are in process.

Health and safety are two of MAG’s key core values and MAG has implemented strict COVID-19 protocols for the Deer Trail Project in line with guidance from governmental public health agencies. The Company continues to monitor the Utah Department of Health, Center for Disease Control and World Health Organization recommendations, updating the protocols on three occasions in 2021 with the last update in September 2021. The majority of project employees and contractors have now been fully vaccinated. See ‘Virus outbreaks may create instability in world markets and may affect the Company’s Business’ in ‘Risk and Uncertainties’ below.

On March 11, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive arrangement agreement with Gatling with respect to the Transaction. Gatling is a Canadian gold exploration company focused on advancing the Larder Project. The Transaction was approved by the shareholders of Gatling on May 13, 2022 and on May 20, 2022 the Company completed the acquisition pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the common shares of Gatling by way of a court approved plan of arrangement. Under the terms of the arrangement each former Gatling shareholder became entitled to receive 0.0170627 of a common share of the Company in exchange for each share of Gatling held immediately prior to the arrangement. Holders of options and warrants to acquire common shares of Gatling received replacement options and warrants, respectively, entitling the holders thereof to acquire common shares of the Company, based on, and subject to, the terms of such options and warrants of Gatling, as adjusted by the plan of arrangement

MAG issued a total of 774,643 common shares in connection with the Transaction. The Company also issued 43,687 replacement stock options and 53,525 replacement warrants. A portion of the liabilities of Gatling related to change of control payments to Gatling executive management was settled by the issuance of 63,492 shares of the Company.

The Company has determined that the Transaction did not meet the definition of business combination under IFRS 3, Business Combinations and accordingly, has been accounted for as an asset acquisition.

The Larder Project hosts three high-grade gold deposits along the Cadillac-Larder Lake Break, 35 km east of Kirkland Lake. The project is 100% owned by MAG and is comprised of patented and unpatented claims, leases and mining licenses of occupation within the McVittie and McGarry Townships. The 3,370 ha project area lies 7 km west of the Kerr-Addison Mine.

All parts of the Larder property are readily accessible, and MAG has retained the exploration team going forward. The concessions associated with the Larder Project are all in good standing with various underlying obligations or royalties ranging from nil-2% NSRs associated with various mineral claims, and various payments upon a production announcement.

The Larder Project lies in the highly prolific Abitibi Gold Province of northern Ontario. The property includes several known shear-hosted (“orogenic”) gold mineralization centres located along approximately 7 km of strike length of the greater than 250 km long Larder Lake–Cadillac Break (the “Break”), a highly-productive regional first-order shear structure. Unlike in many other shear-hosted gold deposits, mineralization occurs on the Break as concentrated ore shoots along the major first-order structure as well as along related second or third-order structures. This relationship appears similar to that manifested at the nearby and adjoining well-known gold camps along the Break such as the Kerr-Addison Mine (approximately 7 km to the east) and the Kirkland Lake district (approximately 35 km to the west). The Larder segment lacks systematic exploration, especially to depth on the main Break and along the subsidiary shear structures.

MAG anticipates that the mineralization style and characteristics on this property may be similar as in neighbouring major camps, however, no assurance of this can be made. Readers are cautioned that, as the Company's exploration and drilling programs at the Larder Project advance, results may prove to be materially different from those arising from adjacent properties.

The Larder property has numerous non-technical advantages. It lies in a mining-friendly jurisdiction with a very long history of mining. There are First Nation agreements in place, with positive ongoing dialogue, and there are no identified significant environmental legacies. Infrastructure (electrical, gas, highway, water) and access are excellent; exploration costs are relatively low; experienced labour is plentiful in the area; and permitting is streamlined, predictable and timely. Importantly, many initial targets can be drilled relatively quickly from existing permitted pads.

MAG intends to apply an integrated district-scale exploration model and new technology to the search for large-volume, high-grade gold mineralization of the style known to occur throughout the Abitibi region. MAG’s technical team believe that a combination of systematic surface-based exploration combined with geophysics will likely uncover numerous targets in this highly gold mineralized region. This will focus efforts along not just the Break but also along the many known, and geophysically indicated 2nd and 3rd order structures throughout the balance of the sparsely tested claim package. The Kir Vit prospect within the Larder claim package, is the most advanced of these and may be hosted on the same structure as Agnico Eagle’s Upper Beaver Mine currently in construction a few km to the west.

MAG has commenced with preparations to initiate a drilling campaign in the second half of 2022. In addition to a comprehensive data review a drilling program is contemplated to drill below and lateral to the already identified mineralization. Together with concurrent groundwork, MAG also expects to advance other high priority targets on the property.

The Company’s investment relating to its interest in Juanicipio is detailed as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021:

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company incurred Juanicipio oversight expenditures of $395 (Year ended December 31, 2021: $620) and made no cash advances to Juanicipio (Year ended December 31, 2021: $73,524) as none have been required given the ongoing processing of mineralized material (see Underground Mine Production above).

A portion of the Investment in Juanicipio is in the form of interest-bearing shareholder loans. The interest charges within Juanicipio were capitalized to ‘Mineral interests, plant and equipment’ and the interest recorded by the Company on the loan totaling $1,570 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 (Year ended December 31, 2021: $1,316) was credited to the Investment in Juanicipio account as an eliminating related party entry. Offsetting this amount in the six months ended June 30, 2022, was interest receivable of $419 (December 31, 2021: nil) which was rolled over and converted into a shareholder loan and $179 (December 31, 2021: nil) was converted into additional shareholder capital.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, MAG recorded $26,109 income from its equity accounted investment in Juanicipio (June 30, 2021: $5,452) as outlined in the following table below.

In 2018, the Company entered into an option agreement with a private group whereby MAG has the right to earn 100% ownership interest in a company which owns the Deer Trail project in Utah, USA (see Deer Trail Project above). MAG paid $150 upon signing the agreement, $150 in October 2020 and another $150 in December 2021. To earn 100% interest in the property, MAG must make remaining cash payments of $1,550 over the next 7 years and fund a cumulative $30,000 of eligible exploration expenditures ($13,302 incurred to June 30, 2022) by 2028. Upon MAG’s 100% earn-in, the vendors will retain a 2% NSR royalty.

In 2017, the Company entered into an option earn-in agreement with a private group whereby the Company could earn up to a 100% interest in a prospective land claim package in the Black Hills of South Dakota. To complete the earn-in, the Company must have made a final cash or share payment of $150 by May 17, 2022, the fifth anniversary of the agreement. Although the geological prospect of the property remained encouraging, growing negative sentiment towards resource extraction in the area, combined with a slow consultation process resulted in significant challenges being encountered in permitting the property for exploration drilling. Concurrent efforts by the Company to find a partner or buyer for the project were unsuccessful and the Company provided formal notice that it would not be making the final $150 option payment in May 2022 and consequently has recorded a write-down of $10,471 during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

A full impairment was recognized on the Cinco de Mayo property in Mexico in prior years, although the concessions are still maintained in good standing.

(expressed in thousands of US dollars except as otherwise noted)

Foreign exchange loss of $185 (June 30, 2021: $100 foreign exchange gain) in the three months ended June 30, 2022 is related to exchange rate changes to the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso relative to the Company’s US dollar functional currency.

Interest income decreased to $18 (June 30, 2021: $42) due to lower cash balances held.

Deferred income tax expense of $1,270 (June 30, 2021: $1,405 deferred income tax benefit) is primarily related to the weakening of the Mexican peso during the period (from 19.8632 pesos/US$ on March 31, 2022 to 20.1443 pesos/US$ on June 30, 2022).

As a result of the foregoing, income for the period was $7,562 compared to $3,305 in the same quarter of the prior year.

Exploration and evaluation costs written down of $10,471 was recorded by the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2022 (June 30, 2021: nil) as the Company wrote-down its earn in option on a mineral property as described above in Exploration and Evaluation Assets.

Deferred income tax benefit of $332 (June 30, 2021: $242 deferred income tax expense) primarily related to the slight strengthening of the Mexican peso during the period (from 20.5157 pesos/US$ on December 31, 2021 to 20.1443 pesos/US$ on June 30, 2022).

All other income and expenses increased or decreased due to the same rationale as stated in the three months ended June 30, 2022. As a result of the foregoing, income for the period was $10,242 compared to a loss of $357 in the same period of the prior year.

(expressed in thousands of US dollars except as otherwise noted)

Cash totaled $44,655 as at June 30, 2022 compared to $56,748 at December 31, 2021, and the decrease primarily reflects the use of cash in ongoing operating and investing activities (see ‘Cash Flows’ below). Other current assets as at June 30, 2022 included accounts receivable of $2,620 (December 31, 2021: $2,097) and prepaid insurance and other prepaid expenses of $2,036 (December 31, 2021: $526). The accounts receivable is comprised primarily of a receivable from Juanicipio related to interest on a portion of MAG’s shareholder advances (see ‘Related Party Transactions’ below).

Investments of $9 (December 31, 2021: $1,179) are comprised of equity securities held by MAG. The decrease in balance from the year ended December 31, 2021 is primarily the result of a sale and divestiture of the majority of the marketable securities previously held.

The Investment in Juanicipio balance increased from $291,084 at December 31, 2021 to $316,745 at June 30, 2022 and reflects MAG’s share of earnings from Juanicipio and its ongoing investment in Juanicipio, as discussed above in ‘Investing Activities’ and ‘Investment in Juanicipio’. Exploration and evaluation assets as at June 30, 2022 increased to $29,207 (December 31, 2021: $20,254) reflecting the acquisition of Gatling and exploration expenditures incurred on the Deer Trail Project partially offset by a write-down of an option earn-in property described above in ‘Exploration and Evaluation Assets’.

Property and equipment of $419 (December 31, 2021: $484) includes a right-of-use asset recognized under IFRS 16 and exploration camp and equipment.

Current liabilities as at June 30, 2022 amounted to $1,638 (December 31, 2021: $1,610) and are attributable to accrued exploration and administrative expenses and the current portion of the IFRS 16 lease obligations. Non-current liabilities as at June 30, 2022 of $2,842 (December 31, 2021: $3,241) includes the non-current portion of the lease obligation of $215 (December 31, 2021: $275), $409 for a reclamation provision (December 31, 2021: $409) and a deferred income tax liability of $2,218 (December 31, 2021: $2,557), the latter resulting from temporary differences between the valuation of various tax assets denominated in Mexican pesos rather than the Company’s US$ functional currency.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, MAG used $2,572 and $4,239 respectively, in cash for operations before movements in non-cash working capital, compared to $1,714 and $3,189 respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. More cash was expended in operations before working capital changes in the current period, primarily because of increased insurance premiums and management compensation and consulting fees, all as described above in ‘Review of Financial Results.’ MAG’s movements in operating working capital (accounts receivable, prepaid expenses less trade and other payables) in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $2,458 and $2,455 respectively from mainly higher prepaid insurance (June 30, 2021: decreased by $816 and increased by $631 respectively). The total use of cash from operating activities in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $5,030 and $6,694 respectively (June 30, 2021: $898 and $3,820 respectively).

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the net cash used for investing activities amounted to $2,916 and $5,584 respectively (June 30, 2021: $26,027 and $24,380). Included in these amounts was a portion of the Gatling acquisition costs of $250 and $2,653 respectively (June 30, 2021: nil and nil respectively). In the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company made no cash advances to Juanicipio and expended $104 and $189 respectively, net of $64 and $129 received in interest respectively (June 30, 2021: $23,809 and 23,910 respectively), on its own account on the Juanicipio oversight. In addition, MAG expended $2,549 and $3,840 respectively (June 30, 2021: $2,218 and $3,815 respectively) on its other exploration and evaluation properties (see ‘Exploration and Evaluation Assets’ above). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company received cash proceeds of nil and $1,111 respectively (June 30, 2021: nil and $3,349) from the sale of certain equity securities originally acquired as part of its divestiture of non-core concessions in prior years.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, 3,125 stock options were exercised for cash proceeds of $32 (June 30, 2021: 9,386 and 16,386 respectively for cash proceeds of $117 and $192 respectively). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, cash was used to pay a head office lease obligation of $25 and $53 respectively (June 30, 2021: $18 and $41 respectively).

The following table sets forth selected quarterly financial information for each of the last eight quarters (as determined under IFRS (expressed in US$000’s except for per Share amounts)):

As at June 30, 2022, MAG had working capital of $47,673 (December 31, 2021: $57,761) including cash of $44,655 (December 31, 2021: $56,748) and no long-term debt. At June 30, 2022, Juanicipio had cash of $37,504 (MAG’s attributable share is 44%). MAG does not currently receive dividends or have cash flow from operations, and therefore the Company may require additional capital in the future to meet its future project and other related expenditures. Future liquidity may therefore depend upon the Company’s ability to arrange debt or additional equity financings.

In Q4 2021, the Company signed a binding commitment letter for a fully underwritten $40,000 revolving credit facility in order to give MAG additional liquidity and financial flexibility for its 44% share of the Juanicipio development and exploration costs should it be needed. MAG continues to work on the definitive documentation for the facility along with other customary conditions required to put the facility into place. Until the facility closes, there is no funding available to MAG under the terms of the commitment letter.

Funding of the Juanicipio Project Capex and other Juanicipio related expenditures

The initial capital expenditure requirement for the Juanicipio Project, as revised and announced by the Juanicipio shareholders on February 24, 2020, is estimated as of January 1, 2018 to be $440,000 (100% basis) including the mine development-related costs to be incurred prior to the envisaged commencement of commercial operations. Capital costs incurred after commercial production, are projected to be paid out of operating cash-flows.

According to the operator Fresnillo, the Juanicipio Project construction will be delivered on budget of $440,000. With the plant ready to commence commissioning once connected to the power grid (expected in mid-2022 – see ‘Processing Plant Construction – Juanicipio Project’ above), final construction costs have wound down until final commissioning and testing commence. Meanwhile, the amount of mineralized development and stope material being processed at the two Fresnillo plants since Q4 2021 has been significantly higher than the original targeted rate of 16,000 tonnes per month. The processing rate increased to an average of 37,983 tonnes per month in Q4 2021, an average of 48,495 tonnes per month in Q1 2022 and an average of 51,356 tonnes per month in Q2 2022 (see ‘Underground Mine Production – Juanicipio Project’ above). Mineralized material from initial stopes is now being processed as well.

The cash flow generated from this processing, along with the cash held by Juanicipio at June 30, 2022 of $37,504 are expected to substantially fund the remaining capital expenditures in the $440,000 initial capital estimate (a cash call has not been needed since mid-December 2021 which was $21,000 on a 100% basis). However, with the current ramp-up of underground mine production and given hiring restrictions on contractors arising from the 2021 labour reform legislation, the timing of various sustaining capital expenditures has been brought forward (see ‘Underground development – Juanicipio Project’ above). Should there be additional funding requirements in excess of the cash flow generated related to further commissioning delays (see Risks and Uncertainties below) or to additional sustaining capital that is being brought forward and required to be funded prior to attaining commercial production, there may still be further cash calls required from Fresnillo and MAG.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a material impact on the global economy, the scale and duration of which remain uncertain. As noted above in COVID-19 – Juanicipio Project, COVID-19 has already had an impact on the Juanicipio plant commissioning timeline. The impact of possible other consequences of COVID-19 on the development of the mine cannot be fully assessed at this time. The COVID-19 virus outbreak and possible additional work stoppages or restrictions could result in additional medical and other costs, project delays, cost overruns, and operational restart costs. The total amount that the Company is required to finance in order to maintain its proportionate ownership in the project may increase from these and other consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak.

In addition, capital and operating costs, production schedules and economic returns envisioned at Juanicipio are based on certain assumptions which may prove to be inaccurate (see Risks and Uncertainties below), and may result in additional costs, project delays, and cost overruns requiring MAG to fund its 44% share of such costs. Aside from its investment in Juanicipio, the Company maintains a corporate office and undertakes other exploration activities. The Company may therefore need to raise additional capital in the future in order to meet these funding requirements and its full share of initial capital required to develop the Juanicipio Project. Accordingly, future liquidity may depend upon the Company’s ability to arrange additional debt or additional equity financings. The inability of MAG to fund its 44% share of cash calls would result in dilution of its ownership interest in Juanicipio in accordance with the shareholders’ agreement.

On November 29, 2021, MAG closed a bought deal share offering and issued 2,691,000 common shares, resulting in net proceeds of $43,242. In the Company’s prospectus supplement dated November 23, 2021 to a short form base shelf prospectus dated April 23, 2020, the Company provided the expected use of net proceeds with respect to the offering as follows:

As noted above in Cash Flows, MAG expended $3,840 on its exploration and evaluation properties in the six months ended June 30, 2022 corresponding to the exploration expenditures in the first category above ($13,660 remaining), and MAG used $4,239 during the six months ended June 30, 2022 for operations corresponding to the working capital and general corporate purposes above ($4,761 remaining). In December 2021, MAG advanced $9,240 to Juanicipio and estimates that $2,073 was used on development and sustaining capital not included in the initial project capital ($14,627 remaining). In the event the remaining development and sustaining capital expenditures at Juanicipio are funded from existing cash flows being generated from processing mineralized material (see Funding of the Juanicipio Project Capex and other Juanicipio related expenditures above), and there are no further cash calls, the funds designated for that use will be deployed on other exploration, working capital and general corporate purposes. Otherwise, it is expected that the full use of proceeds once expended, will align with the above estimates, and the actuals will be reported in future MD&As.

The following table discloses the contractual obligations of MAG and its subsidiaries as at June 30, 2022 for committed exploration work and other committed obligations.

The Company also has discretionary commitments for property option payments and exploration expenditures as outlined above in Exploration and Evaluation Assets. There is no obligation to make any of those payments or to conduct any work on its optioned properties. As the Company advances the projects, it evaluates exploration results and determines at its own discretion which option payments to make and which additional exploration work to undertake in order to comply with the earn-in requirements.

The concessions associated with the Larder Project are all in good standing with various underlying obligations or royalties ranging from nil-2% NSRs associated with various mineral claims, and various payments upon a production announcement.

MAG may provide guarantees and indemnifications in conjunction with transactions in the normal course of operations. These are recorded as liabilities when reasonable estimates of the obligations can be made. Indemnifications that the Company has provided include an obligation to indemnify directors and officers of the Company for potential liability while acting as a director or officer of the Company, together with various expenses associated with defending and settling such suits or actions due to association with the Company. The Company has a comprehensive director and officers’ liability insurance policy that could mitigate such costs if incurred.

⁽²⁾ To be share settled, but no common shares are to be issued in respect of a participant in the DSU Plan prior to such eligible participant’s termination date. As at date of filing this MD&A, there are 61,295 DSUs which are available for settlement to a director no longer with the Company.

The Company is not aware of any undisclosed liabilities or legal actions against MAG and MAG has no legal actions or cause against any third party at this time other than the claims of the Company with respect to its purchase of 41 land rights within the Cinco de Mayo property boundaries, and the associated efforts to regain surface access with the local ejido.

The Company is not aware of any condition of default under any debt, regulatory, exchange related or other contractual obligation.

In Mexico, VAT is charged on the sale of goods, rendering of services, lease of goods and importation of the majority of goods and services at a rate of 16%. 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, but MAG has to date been able to recover all of its VAT paid. Juanicipio also holds a VAT receivable balance, and the collections of these receivables, if not recovered on a timely basis, can be credited against VAT payable as Juanicipio has started to generate revenue.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022

(expressed in thousands of US dollars except as otherwise noted)

The Company did not experience any information security breaches in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

As both the price and market for silver are volatile and difficult to predict, a significant decrease in the silver price and to a lesser extent gold, zinc and lead prices, could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operations and market value.

The nature of MAG’s business is demanding of capital for property acquisition costs, exploration commitments, development and holding costs. MAG Silver’s liquidity is affected by the results of its own acquisition, exploration and development activities. The acquisition or discovery of an economic mineral deposit on one of its mineral property interests may have a favourable effect on the Company’s liquidity, and conversely, the failure to acquire or find one may have a negative effect. In addition, access to capital to fund exploration and development companies is at times challenging in public markets, which could limit the Company’s ability to meet its objectives.

Surface rights in Mexico are often owned by local communities or “ejidos” and there has been a trend in Mexico of increasing ejido challenges to existing surface right usage agreements. The Company has already been impacted by this trend at its Cinco de Mayo Project. Likewise, obtaining exploration permits in all the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, often encounters tribal, First Nations, and other forms of community resistance. Any further challenge to the access or exploration of any of the properties in which MAG has an interest may have a negative impact on the Company, as the Company may incur delays and expenses in defending such challenge and, if the challenge is successful, the Company’s interest in a property could be materially adversely affected.

Apart from these and the risks referenced below in “Risks and Uncertainties,” management is not aware of any other trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that would have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

The Company’s securities should be considered a highly speculative investment and investors are directed to 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, including the risk factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Annual Information Form dated March 31, 2022 as part of its Form 40-F and available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and the SEC website at www.sec.gov and incorporated by reference herein.

The volatile global economic environment has created market uncertainty and volatility in recent years. The Company remains financially strong and will monitor the risks and opportunities of the current environment carefully. These macro-economic events have in the past, and may again, negatively affect the mining and minerals sectors in general. The Company will consider its business plans and options carefully going forward.

The Company examines the various financial instruments and risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of those risks. These risks may include credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, commodity price risk, interest rate risk and political and country risk and management’s objectives, policies and procedures for managing these risks are disclosed in Note 13 in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company as at June 30, 2022. In the normal course of business, the Company enters into transactions for the purchase of supplies and services denominated in Canadian dollars or Mexican pesos. The Company also has cash and other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars and Mexican pesos. As a result, the Company is subject to foreign exchange risk on these currencies from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

In addition, there is increasing environmental regulation as a result of public concern over climate change. The Company may have increased costs associated with the compliance of these regulations and a failure to comply may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s performance.

Commissioning of the Juanicipio Processing Plant may be adversely impacted by the timing of hook up to the national power grid

The commissioning of the Juanicipio processing plant requires regulatory approval for the power connection to the national electricity transmission grid of Mexico. As noted above (see Processing Plant Construction – Juanicipio Project’), the CFE notified Fresnillo late in December 2021 that the regulatory approval to complete the power tie-in could not yet be granted, and the commissioning timeline was extended approximately six months. The operator Fresnillo has reported it expects the power connection to occur in the coming weeks, but there is no assurance that the connection will occur when it is currently anticipated, and further connection delays could compromise many aspects of the project’s commissioning and profitability, including, but not limited to the timeline to achieving commercial production and cash flow, and the impact on capital and operating costs.

Amendments to the Federal Labour Law on Labour Subcontracting (or “outsourcing”)

Labour reform legislation on subcontracting and outsourcing in Mexico was published on April, 23, 2021 (the ‘Reform’). The Reform amends several Mexican laws, including the Federal Labour Law, and seeks to, amongst other things, regulate outsourcing as follows: i) to prohibit the use of subcontracting as it has historically been used in Mexico; and, ii) to allow an exception for specialized services under regulated circumstances. This Reform legislation came into effect on September 1, 2021.

The Reform changes are not expected to have a significant impact on the viability of the Juanicipio Project, and Fresnillo, as operator, does not expect the Reform to impact the timeline to commissioning of the Juanicipio plant. However, with various restrictions on hiring contractors, Fresnillo, as operator, has indicated a need to internalize a portion of its workforce and perform much of the development work directly rather than outsourcing it to contractors, and hence invest in equipment not previously planned to be utilized in underground operations. The cost of any required additional equipment is not included in the initial project capital of $440,000 (see Project Capital - Juanicipio Project above) and may affect the Company’s total funding requirement to get the Juanicipio Project to commercial production (see Underground Development - Juanicipio Project above).

(expressed in thousands of US dollars except as otherwise noted)

The Company’s capital and operating costs, production schedules and economic returns are based on certain assumptions which may prove to be inaccurate.

The Company’s expected capital and operating costs, production estimates, anticipated economic returns and other projections, estimates and forecasts for its mineral properties that are included in the 2017 PEA are based on assumed or estimated future metals prices, cut-off grades, operating costs, capital costs, rates of inflation, underground development rates, metallurgical recoveries, whether the actual material mined is amenable to mining or treatment, environmental considerations, labour volumes, permitting and other factors, any of which may prove to be inaccurate. The 2017 PEA includes estimates of future production, development plans, operating costs, capital costs and other economic and technical estimates for the Juanicipio Project. These estimates are based on a variety of factors and assumptions and there is no assurance that such production plans, costs or other estimates will be achieved. Actual production, costs and financial returns may vary significantly from the estimates depending on a variety of factors, many of which are not within the Company’s control.

The Company’s capital and operating costs are affected by the cost of commodities and goods such as explosives, fuel, electrical power and supplies. Significant declines in market prices for gold, silver and other metals could have an adverse effect on the Company’s economic projections. Management of the Company assumes that the materials and supplies required for operations, development and commercial production will be available for purchase and that the Company will have access to the required amount of sufficiently skilled labour. As the Company relies on certain third-party suppliers and contractors, these factors can be outside its control and an increase in the costs of (due to inflation, impacts of the Russia and Ukraine conflict or otherwise), or a lack of availability of, commodities, goods and labour may have an adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition. The Company may experience difficulty in obtaining the necessary permits for its exploration, development or operational activities, if such permits are obtained at all, and may face penalties as a result of violations of permits or other environmental laws, which may cause delays and increases to projected budgets. Any of these discrepancies from the Company’s expected capital and operating costs, production schedules and economic returns could cause a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company has in the past, and may in the future, provide estimates and projections of its future production, production costs and financial results. In addition, Fresnillo, as operator of the Juanicipio Project, has in the past, and may in the future, provide estimates and projections of future production, production costs and financial results expected from Juanicipio. Any such information provided by the Company and/or Fresnillo, is forward-looking. Neither the Company’s auditors nor any other independent expert or outside party compiles or examines these forward- looking statements. Accordingly, no such person expresses any opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. Such estimates are made by the Company’s management and technical personnel and are qualified by, and subject to the assumptions, contained or referred to in the filing, release or presentation in which they are made, including assumptions about the availability, accessibility, sufficiency and quality of mineralized material, the Company’s costs of production, general economic conditions (including rates of inflation), the market prices of silver, gold and other metals, the Company’s ability to sustain and increase production levels, the ability to produce and sell marketable concentrates, the sufficiency of its infrastructure, the performance of its personnel and equipment, its ability to maintain and obtain mining interests and permits, the state of the government and community relations, and its compliance with existing and future laws and regulations. Actual results and experience may differ materially from these assumptions. Failure to achieve estimates or material increases costs could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s future cash flows, profitability, results of operations and financial condition. Any such production, cost, or financial results estimates speak only as of the date on which they are made, and the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update such estimates, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, these forward-looking statements should be considered in the context in which they are made, and undue reliance should not be placed on them.

Virus outbreaks may create instability in world markets and may affect the Company’s business.

MAG’s operations and the operations it has an interest in are subject to the risk of emerging infectious diseases or the threat of outbreaks of viruses or other contagions or epidemic diseases, including COVID-19, and any variants thereof. The current outbreak of COVID-19 and any future emergence and spread of similar pathogens, could have an adverse impact on global economic conditions which may adversely impact the Company’s operations, and the operations of the Company’s suppliers, contractors and service providers and may negatively impact future fiscal periods in the event of prolonged disruptions associated with the outbreak. The Chinese market is a significant source of global demand for commodities, including silver, gold and other metals. A sustained slowdown in China’s growth or demand, or a significant slowdown in other markets, in either case, that is not offset by reduced supply or increased demand from other regions could have an adverse effect on the price and/or demand for the Company’s products. COVID-19 and efforts to contain it, including restrictions on travel and other advisories issued may have a significant effect on metal prices and demand in China and other markets and potentially broader impacts on the global economy.

Any COVID-19 related outbreaks or direct or indirect COVID-19 related impacts could cause increased costs or delays in the development timeline and commissioning of the Juanicipio processing plant and could have a material adverse impact on the Company. The impact of this pandemic could include significant COVID-19 specific costs, volatility in the prices for silver and other metals, further restrictions or temporary closures, additional travel restraints, other supply chain disruptions and workforce and contractor interruptions, including possible loss of life. Depending on the duration and extent of the impact of COVID-19, this could materially impact the Company’s financial performance, cash flows and financial position, and could result in material impairment charges to the Company’s assets. The total amount that the Company is required to finance in order to maintain its proportionate ownership in the project may increase from these and other consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak.

The Company does not have offices or direct personnel in Mexico, but rather is party to a Field Services Agreement, whereby it has contracted administrative and exploration services in Mexico with Minera Cascabel, S.A. de C.V. (“Cascabel”) and IMDEX Inc. (“IMDEX”). Dr. Peter Megaw, the Company’s Chief Exploration Officer, is a principal of both IMDEX and Cascabel, and is remunerated by the Company through fees to IMDEX. In addition to corporate executive responsibilities with MAG, Dr. Megaw is responsible for the planning, execution and assessment of the Company’s exploration programs, and he and his team developed the geologic concepts and directed the discovery and acquisition of the Juanicipio property.

All transactions are incurred in the normal course of business and are negotiated on terms between the parties which are believed to represent fair market value for all services rendered. A portion of the expenditures are incurred on the Company’s behalf and are charged to the Company on a “cost + 10%” basis. The services provided do not include drilling and assay work which are contracted out independently from Cascabel and IMDEX. Included in trade and other payables at June 30, 2022 is $34 related to these services (December 31, 2021: $22).

Any amounts due to related parties arising from the above transactions are unsecured, non-interest bearing and are due upon receipt of invoices.

The Company holds various mineral property claims in Mexico upon which full impairments have been recognized. 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.

The immediate parent and ultimate controlling party of the consolidated group is MAG Silver Corp. (incorporated in British Columbia, Canada).

The details of the Company’s significant subsidiaries and controlling ownership interests are as follows:

Balances and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries, which are related parties of the Company, have been eliminated on consolidation and are not disclosed in this note.

Juanicipio, created for the purpose of holding and operating the Juanicipio Project, is held 56% by Fresnillo and 44% by the Company through Minera Los Lagartos, S.A. de C.V. Fresnillo is the operator of Juanicipio, and with its affiliates, beneficially owns 10.0% of the common shares of the Company as at June 30, 2022, as publicly reported. Juanicipio is governed by a shareholders agreement and corporate by-laws. All costs relating to the project and Juanicipio are required to be shared by the Company and Fresnillo pro-rata based on their ownership interests in Juanicipio.

As at June 30, 2022, Fresnillo and the Company have advanced $219,358 as shareholder loans (MAG’s 44% share $96,513) to Juanicipio, bearing interest at 3 and 6 month LIBOR + 2%. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the interest accrued within Juanicipio was capitalized to ‘Mineral interests, plant and equipment’ and the interest recorded by the Company on the loans totaling $1,570 has therefore been applied to the Investment in Juanicipio account reducing its balance as an eliminating related party entry (see Note 8 in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements as at June 30, 2022).

During the period, compensation of key management personnel (including directors) was as follows:

Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly, and consists of its Directors, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reported period. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the amount, events or actions, actual results may differ from these estimates. The areas involving critical judgements, significant estimates and assumptions have been set out in Note 2 of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022

(expressed in thousands of US dollars except as otherwise noted)

(i) Under IFRS, the Company defers all costs relating to the acquisition and exploration of its mineral properties (“exploration and evaluation” assets). When commercial production commences on any of the Company’s properties, any previously capitalized costs would be charged to operations using a unit-of-production method. The Company reviews and assesses when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying values of its properties may exceed their estimated net recoverable amount, and a provision is made for any impairment in value. IFRS also requires the reversal of impairments if conditions that gave rise to those impairments no longer exist.

The existence of uncertainties during the exploration stage and the lack of definitive empirical evidence with respect to the feasibility of successful commercial development of any exploration property does create measurement uncertainty concerning the estimate of the amount of impairment to the value of any mineral property. The Company relies on its own or independent estimates of further geological prospects of a particular property and also considers the likely proceeds from a sale or assignment of the rights before determining whether or not impairment in value has occurred.

(ii) The Company and Juanicipio incur indirect taxes, including value-added tax, on purchases of goods and services at its development and exploration projects. Indirect tax balances are recorded at their estimated recoverable amounts within current or long-term assets, net of provisions, and reflect the Company’s best estimate of their recoverability under existing tax rules in the respective jurisdictions in which they arise. Management’s assessment of recoverability considers the probable outcomes of claimed deductions and/or disputes. The provisions and balance sheet classifications made to date may be subject to change and such change may be material.

(iii) Juanicipio has mineral stockpiles that are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The assumptions used in the valuation of inventories include estimates of the amount of recoverable metal in the stockpile and an assumption of the metal prices expected to be realized when the metal is recovered. If these estimates or assumptions prove to be inaccurate, Juanicipio and the Company could be required to write-down the recorded value of its stockpile, work-in process inventories and finished metal inventory, which would reduce earnings and working capital.

(iv) Sales recorded in Juanicipio, which are reflected as a component in the Company’s income (loss) from its equity accounted Investment in Juanicipio, are based on estimated metal quantities reflecting assay data and on provisional prices which will be trued up for actual price and quantity in a later period.

(v) Reclamation and closure costs have been estimated based on the Company’s and Juanicipio’s interpretation of current regulatory requirements, however changes in regulatory requirements and new information may result in revisions to estimates. The Company and Juanicipio recognize the fair value of liabilities for reclamation and closure costs in the period in which they are incurred. A corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related assets is generally recorded and depreciated over the production life of the asset.

(vi) Under IFRS 2 - Share-based Payments, stock options are accounted for by the fair value method of accounting. Under this method, the Company is required to recognize a charge to the statement of income (loss) based on an option-pricing model based on certain assumptions including dividends to be paid, historical volatility of the Company’s share price, an annual risk free interest rate, forfeiture rates, and expected lives of the options. The fair value of performance share units awarded with market price conditions is determined using a risk-neutral asset pricing model, based on certain assumptions including dividends to be paid, historical volatility of the Company’s share price, a risk free interest rate, and correlated stock returns.

(vii) The deferred income tax provision is based on the liability method. Deferred taxes arise from the recognition of the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted or substantively enacted tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of certain assets and liabilities. The Company records only those deferred tax assets that it believes will be probable, that sufficient future taxable profit will be available to recover those assets.

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Upon the acquisition of an asset or a group of assets and liabilities that does not constitute a business, the Company identifies and recognizes the individual identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The cost of the group is allocated to the individual identifiable assets and liabilities on the basis of their relative fair values at the date of purchase. Such a transaction or event does not give rise to goodwill

The Company has filed certificates signed by the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) that, among other things, report on the design of disclosure controls and procedures and the design of internal controls over financial reporting as at June 30, 2022.

Disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance that all relevant information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to senior management as appropriate and recorded, processed, summarized and reported to allow timely decisions with respect to required disclosure, including in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted by it under securities legislation.

MAG Silver also maintains a system of internal controls over financial reporting, as defined by National Instrument 52-109 - Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings in order to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and financial information is accurate and reliable and in accordance with IFRS. The Company retains a third-party specialist annually to assist in the assessment of its internal control procedures. The Board of Directors approves the financial statements and MD&A before they are publicly filed and ensures that management discharges its financial responsibilities. The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and MD&A for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were approved by the Board on August 12, 2022. The Board’s review is accomplished principally through the Audit Committee, which is composed of independent non-executive directors. The Audit Committee meets periodically with management and auditors to review financial reporting and control matters.

The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, believe that any internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed, can have inherent limitations. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable (not absolute) assurance that the objectives of the control system are met and as such, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. The CEO and CFO have designed the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022 based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

There have been no changes in internal controls over financial reporting during the six months ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, MAG’s internal control over financial reporting.

Cautionary Note to Investors Concerning Estimates of Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources

Technical disclosure regarding the Company’s mineral properties included in this MD&A and in the documents incorporated by reference herein has not been prepared in accordance with the requirements of U.S. securities laws. Without limiting the foregoing, such technical disclosure uses terms in accordance with NI 43-101. NI 43-101 is an instrument developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. Unless otherwise indicated, all Mineral Resource estimates contained in the technical disclosure herein have been prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves (“CIM Definition Standards”) and any references to Mineral Reserves are references to Mineral Reserves as defined in the CIM Definition Standards.

Canadian standards, including NI 43-101, differ significantly from the historical requirements of the SEC and Mineral Resource information contained or incorporated by reference in this MD&A may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S. companies. The SEC has adopted amendments to its disclosure rules to modernize the mineral property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the SEC. These amendments became effective February 25, 2019 (the “SEC Modernization Rules”) and, following a two-year transition period, the SEC Modernization Rules replaced the historical property disclosure requirements for mining registrants that are included in SEC Industry Guide 7 for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2021 or later.

Under the SEC Modernization Rules, the definitions of “Proven Mineral Reserves” and “Probable Mineral Reserves” have been amended to be substantially similar to the corresponding CIM Definition Standards and the SEC has added definitions to recognize “Measured Mineral Resources”, “Indicated Mineral Resources” and “Inferred Mineral Resources” which are also substantially similar to the corresponding CIM Definition Standards; however, there are still differences in the definitions and standards under the SEC Modernization Rules and the CIM Definition Standards. Therefore, the Company’s Mineral Resources as determined in accordance with NI 43-101 may be significantly different than if they had been determined in accordance with the SEC Modernization Rules.

Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits categorized as “Inferred Mineral Resources” or “Indicated Mineral Resources” in these categories will ever be converted into Mineral Reserves. In addition, “Inferred Mineral Resources” are Mineral Resources for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling. Geological evidence is sufficient to imply but not verify geological and grade or quality continuity. “Inferred Mineral Resources” are based on limited information and have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility, although it is reasonably expected that the majority of “Inferred Mineral Resources” could be upgraded to “Indicated Mineral Resources” with continued exploration.

MAG SILVER CORP.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022

(expressed in thousands of US dollars except as otherwise noted)

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
