MAG SILVER CORP.
Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
As at September 30, 2012 (expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)
 

 
1.           NATURE OF OPERATIONS

MAG Silver Corp. (the “Company” or “MAG”) was incorporated on April 21, 1999 under the Company Act of the Province of British Columbia and its shares were listed on the TSX Venture Exchange on April 21, 2000 and subsequently moved to the TSX on October 5, 2007.

The Company is an exploration and predevelopment company working on mineral properties in Mexico that it has staked or acquired by way of option agreement.  The Company has not yet determined whether these mineral properties contain any economically recoverable ore reserves. The Company defers all acquisition, exploration and development costs related to the properties on which it is conducting exploration. The recoverability of these amounts is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of the interests, and future profitable production, or alternatively, upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its interests on a profitable basis.

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to the properties on which it is conducting exploration and in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements and non-compliance with regulatory requirements.

Address of registered offices of the Company:
1600 – 925 West Georgia Street
Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada V6C 3L2

Head office and principal place of business:

2.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared under International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).  They do not include all of the information required for full annual IFRS financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented herein, and with the exception of the change in presentation currency effective January 1, 2012 (Note 2 (k) below), have not changed from the Company’s first interim IFRS condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and the Company’s accounting policies as disclosed in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011. The accounting policies have been applied consistently by the Company and its subsidiaries.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
As at September 30, 2012 (expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)
 

 
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for the revaluation of certain financial instruments, which are stated at their fair value.  In addition, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.


(a)           Basis of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries, including special purpose entities). Control exists when the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from the entity’s activities. Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial results of the Company from the effective date that control is obtained up to the effective date of disposal or loss of control. The principal subsidiaries as at September 30, 2012 are Minera Los Lagartos, S.A. de C.V., Minera Pozo Seco S.A. de C.V., and Minera Sierra Vieja S.A. de C.V.  All intercompany balances, transactions, revenues and expenses have been eliminated upon consolidation.

These consolidated financial statements also include the Company’s 44% interest in the Juanicipio Joint Venture (Note 6), a significant investment in an associate (Note 2(b)) accounted for using the equity method.

A special purpose entity (“SPE”), as defined by SIC 12 – Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities (“SIC 12”), is consolidated by the Company when the Company controls the SPE. The Company has determined that none of the entities in which it has interests meet the definition of an SPE.

Where necessary, adjustments have been made to the financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries and associates prior to consolidation, to conform the significant accounting policies used in their preparation to those used by the Company.

(b)           Investments in Associates

The Company conducts a portion of its business through equity interests in associates. An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence, and is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture. The Company has significant influence when it has the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the associate but does not have control or joint control over those policies.

The Company accounts for its investments in associates using the equity method. Under the equity method, the Company’s investment in an associate is initially recognized at cost and subsequently increased or decreased to recognize the Company's share of earnings and losses of the associate and for impairment losses after the initial recognition date. The Company's share of earnings and losses of associates are recognized in profit or loss during the period. Distributions received from an associate are accounted for as a reduction in the carrying amount of the Company’s investment.

At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is any evidence that an investment in associate is impaired. This assessment is generally made with reference to the timing of exploration work, work programs proposed, exploration results achieved, and an assessment of the likely results to be achieved from performance of further exploration by the associate.  When there is evidence that an investment in associate is impaired, the carrying amount of such investment is compared to its recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount of an investment in associate is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount and an impairment loss, being the excess of carrying amount over the recoverable amount, is recognized in the period of impairment. When an impairment loss reverses in a subsequent period, the carrying amount of the investment in associate is increased to the revised estimate of recoverable amount to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had an impairment loss not been previously recognized. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in net earnings in the period the reversal occurs.

(c)           Significant Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions 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. Significant estimates used in preparation of these financial statements include estimates of the net realizable value and any impairment of exploration and evaluation assets and of investment in associates, recoveries of receivable balances, provisions including closure and reclamation, share based payment expense, and income tax provisions. Actual results may differ from those estimated.

(d)           Critical judgments

The Company reviews and assesses the carrying amount of exploration and evaluation assets and of its investment in associates for impairment when facts or circumstances suggest that the carrying amount is not recoverable.  Assessing the recoverability of these amounts requires considerable professional technical judgement, and is made with reference to the timing of exploration work, work programs proposed, exploration results achieved by the Company and by others in the related area of interest, and an assessment of the likely results to be achieved from performance of further exploration (see notes 2 (b) and 2 (g)).

The Company has performed analysis of the functional currency for each subsidiary, and noted the majority of operating expenditures were either denominated in the United States dollar (“US$”) or determined by the US$.  Consequently, the Company concludes that the US$, with the exception of the parent entity which has a Canadian dollar (“C$”) functional currency, is the currency that mainly influences the cost of providing goods and services in each of the Mexican subsidiaries of the Company, and in its Mexican Associate.  The Company also considered secondary indicators including the currency in which funds from financing activities are denominated and the currency in which funds are retained.

(e)           Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The Company classifies financial instruments as either held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), loans and receivables, or other financial liabilities. Financial assets held to maturity, loans and receivables and other financial liabilities, are measured at amortized cost.  Available-for-sale instruments are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). Instruments classified as FVTPL are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss.  

 
 

 
MAG SILVER CORP.
Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
As at September 30, 2012 (expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)
 

 
The Company has designated its cash as FVTPL, which is measured at fair value. Accounts receivable are classified as loans and receivables, which are measured at amortized cost. Trade and other payables are classified as other liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost.

Marketable securities that meet the definition of a derivative are classified as FVTPL and are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss. All of the Company’s other marketable securities have been designated as available-for-sale, and are reported at fair value. Other comprehensive income includes the gains and losses from available-for-sale securities which are not included in profit or loss until realized, and currency translation adjustments on its net investment in foreign operations.

(f)           Cash

Due to the low market interest rate on deposits and the need to maintain resources liquid for the Company’s ongoing exploration activities, management has maintained the Company’s cash in high interest savings accounts.

(g)           Exploration and evaluation assets

The Company is in the exploration stage with respect to its activities and accordingly follows the practice of capitalizing all costs relating to the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of its mining rights and crediting all revenues received against the cost of the related interests. At such time as commercial production commences, these costs will be depleted on a units-of-production method based on proven and probable reserves. If a mineable ore body is discovered, exploration and evaluation costs are reclassified to mining properties.  If no mineable ore body is discovered, such costs are expensed in the period in which it is determined the property has no future economic value.

Exploration and evaluation expenditures include acquisition costs of rights to explore; topographical, geological, geochemical and geophysical studies; exploratory drilling; trenching and sampling; and activities involved in evaluating the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting mineral resources. This includes the costs incurred in determining the most appropriate mining/processing methods and developing feasibility studies.

 
 

 
MAG SILVER CORP.
Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
As at September 30, 2012 (expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)
 

 
Management reviews the carrying amount of exploration and evaluation assets for impairment when facts or circumstances suggest that the carrying amount is not recoverable. This review is generally made with reference to the timing of exploration work, work programs proposed, exploration results achieved by the Company and by others in the related area of interest, and an assessment of the likely results to be achieved from performance of further exploration. When the results of this review indicate that indicators of impairment exist, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the deferred exploration costs and related mining rights by reference to the potential for success of further exploration activity and/or the likely proceeds to be received from sale or assignment of the rights. When the carrying amounts of exploration and evaluation assets are estimated to exceed their recoverable amounts, an impairment loss is recorded in the statement of comprehensive loss.  The cash-generating unit for assessing impairment is a geographic region and shall be no larger than the operating segment.  If conditions that gave rise to the impairment no longer exist, a reversal of impairment may be recognized in a subsequent period, with the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset increased to the revised estimate of recoverable amount to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had an impairment loss not been previously recognized.  A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss in the period the reversal occurs.

(h)           Equipment and leasehold improvements

Equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses if any, and is amortized at the following annual rates:

Computer equipment                                                       30% declining balance
Field equipment                                                                30% declining balance
Leasehold improvements                                                straight line over lease term

When parts of an item of equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of equipment, and depreciated over their respective useful lives.

(i)           Income taxes

Deferred income taxes relate to the expected future tax consequences of unused tax losses and unused tax credits and differences between the carrying amount of statement of financial position items and their corresponding tax values.  Deferred tax assets, if any, are recognized only to the extent that, in the opinion of management, it is probable that sufficient future taxable profit will be available to recover the asset.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of substantive enactment.

(j)           Provisions

Provisions are liabilities that are uncertain in timing or amount. The Company records a provision when and only when:

(i) The Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;

(ii) It is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and

(iii) A reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Constructive obligations are obligations that derive from the Company’s actions where:

(i) By an established pattern of past practice, published policies or a sufficiently specific current statement, the Company has indicated to other parties that it will accept certain responsibilities; and

 
 

 
MAG SILVER CORP.
Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
As at September 30, 2012 (expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)
 

 
(ii) As a result, the Company has created a valid expectation on the part of those other parties that it will discharge those responsibilities.

Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect management’s current best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. Provisions are reduced by actual expenditures for which the provision was originally recognized. Where discounting has been used, the carrying amount of a provision increases in each period to reflect the passage of time. This increase (accretion expense) is included in profit or loss for the period.

There were no provisions as at September 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011.

Closure and reclamation

The Company records a provision for the present value of the estimated closure obligations, including reclamation costs, when the obligation (legal or constructive) is incurred, with a corresponding increase in the carrying value of the related assets.  The carrying value is amortized over the life of the mining asset on a units-of-production basis commencing with initial commercialization of the asset.  The liability is accreted to the actual liability on settlement through charges each period to profit or loss.

The provision for closure and reclamation is reviewed at the end of each reporting period for changes in estimates and circumstances. There was no provision for closure and reclamation as at September 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011.


 
(k)
Functional currency and change in presentation currency

The functional currency of MAG is the Canadian dollar (“C$”) and the functional currency of its Mexican subsidiaries and investment in associate is the United States dollar (“US$”). Each entity in the Company determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.

Effective January 1, 2012, the Company changed its presentation currency from the C$ to the US$. The change in presentation currency is to better reflect the Company’s business activities and to improve investors’ ability to compare the Company’s financial results with other publicly traded businesses in the mining industry.  In making this change to the US$ presentation currency, the Company followed the guidance in IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates and have applied the change retrospectively as if the new presentation currency had always been the Company’s presentation currency. In accordance with IAS 21, the financial statements for all years and periods presented have been translated to the new US$ presentation currency as follows:

•  
All assets and liabilities have been translated from their functional currency into the new US$ presentation currency using the closing current exchange rate at the date of each balance sheet;

•  
Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive loss presented have been retranslated at average exchange rates prevailing during each reporting period;

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
As at September 30, 2012 (expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)
 

 
•  
Equity balances have been retrospectively translated at historical rates prevailing during the period incurred; and

•  
All resulting exchange differences have been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated as a separate component of equity (cumulative translation adjustment).


(l)           Foreign currency transactions

 
In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each statement of financial position date, monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the period end foreign exchange rate. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the historical rate on the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are stated at fair value are translated using the rate on the date that the fair value was determined. All gains and losses on translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in profit or loss.


(m)         Loss per common share

Basic loss per share calculations is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

The Company uses the treasury stock method for the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the year. Common equivalent shares consist of the incremental common shares upon the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, but are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

As at September 30, 2012, the Company had 4,338,570 (September 30, 2011 – 4,200,181) common share equivalents consisting of the common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding exercisable stock options.  These common share equivalents were not included for the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.


(n)          Share based payments

The fair value of all stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments are estimated as of the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model and are recorded in profit and loss over their vesting periods.  Stock options with graded vesting schedules are accounted for as separate grants with different vesting periods and fair values. Changes to the estimated number of awards that will eventually vest are accounted for prospectively.

(o)          Changes in Accounting Standards

The Company has reviewed new accounting pronouncements that have been issued but are not yet effective. These include:

IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, retains current IAS 1 presentation standards, but requires disclosure of Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) items distinguishing between those that are recycled to profit and loss and those that are not recycled. Retrospective application is required, and the standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012, with early application permitted.

The Company will be required to adopt IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, which replaces the current standard, IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The new standard replaces the current classification and measurement criteria for financial assets and liabilities with only two classification categories: amortized cost and fair value, and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015, with early application permitted.

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements establishes principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated financial statements when an entity controls one or more other entities. This standard (i) requires a parent entity (an entity that controls one or more other entities) to present consolidated financial statements; (ii) defines the principle of control, and establishes control as the basis for consolidation; (iii) sets out how to apply the principle of control to identify whether an investor controls an investee and therefore must consolidate the investee; and (iv) sets out the accounting requirements for the preparation of consolidated financial statements.  IFRS 10 supersedes IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and SIC-12 Consolidation—Special Purpose Entities and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early application permitted.
 
 
IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements establishes the core principle that a party to a joint arrangement determines the type of joint arrangement in which it is involved by assessing its rights and obligations and accounts for those rights and obligations in accordance with that type of joint arrangement. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early application permitted.

IFRS 12 Disclosure of Involvement with Other Entities requires the disclosure of information that enables users of financial statements to evaluate the nature of, and risks associated with, its interests in other entities and the effects of those interests on its financial position, financial performance and cash flows. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early application permitted.

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement defines fair value, sets out in a single IFRS a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. IFRS 13 applies when another IFRS requires or permits fair value measurements or disclosures about fair value measurements (and measurements, such as fair value less costs to sell, based on fair value or disclosures about those measurements), except for: share-based payment transactions within the scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment; leasing transactions within the scope of IAS 17 Leases; measurements that have some similarities to fair value but that are not fair value, such as net realizable value in IAS 2 Inventories or value in use in IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early application permitted.

 
 

 
MAG SILVER CORP.
Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
As at September 30, 2012 (expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)
 

 
IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, as amended in May 2011, provides guidance on the accounting and disclosure requirements for subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities, and associates in separate, or unconsolidated, financial statements. It will have no impact on consolidated financial statements and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early application permitted.

IAS 28 Investments in Associates as amended in May 2011, provides detailed guidance on the application of the equity method to associates, subsidiaries and joint ventures (previously excluded from this standard),  and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early application permitted.

IFRS 10, 11, and 12 and IAS 27 and 28 must be adopted concurrently. The Company has not early adopted any of these standards and is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that these standards might have on its consolidated financial statements.

6.           INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATE (“MINERA JUANICIPIO S.A. DE C.V.”)

Pursuant to an original option agreement dated July 18, 2002 and subsequent corporate transactions to acquire 100% of the Vendor Corporation, the Company acquired a 100% interest in the Juanicipio property effective July 16, 2003.  Pursuant to a letter of intent dated March 17, 2005 and a formal agreement effective July 1, 2005 (the “Agreement”) with Industrias Peñoles, S.A. de C.V. (“Peñoles”), the Company granted Peñoles or any of its subsidiaries an option to earn a 56% interest in the Juanicipio Property in Mexico in consideration for Peñoles conducting $5,000,000 of exploration on the property over four years and Peñoles purchasing $1,000,000 of Common Shares of the Company in two tranches for $500,000 each.

In mid 2007, Peñoles met all of the earn-in requirements of the Agreement.  In December 2007, the Company and Peñoles created an operating company named Minera Juanicipio, S.A. de C.V. (“Minera Juanicipio”) for the purpose of holding and operating the Juanicipio Property. In 2008, MAG was notified that Peñoles had transferred its 56% interest of Minera Juanicipio to Fresnillo plc (“Fresnillo”) pursuant to a statutory merger.  Minera Juanicipio is held 56% by Fresnillo and 44% by the Company.  In December 2007 all mineral rights and surface rights relating to the Juanicipio project held by the Company and Peñoles, respectively, were ceded into Minera Juanicipio.  Minera Juanicipio is currently governed by a shareholders agreement.  All costs relating to the project and Minera Juanicipio are required to be shared by the Company and Fresnillo pro-rata based on their ownership interests in Minera Juanicipio.

The Company has recorded its investment in Minera Juanicipio using the equity basis of accounting. The cost of the investment includes the carrying value of the deferred exploration and mineral and surface rights costs incurred by the Company on the Juanicipio Property and contributed to Minera Juanicipio plus the required net cash investment to establish and maintain its 44% interest.

The Company’s investment relating to its interest in the Juanicipio property and Minera Juanicipio is detailed as follows:

9.           CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s objectives in managing its liquidity and capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide financial capacity to meet its strategic objectives. The capital structure of the Company consists of its shareholders’ equity comprising of share capital, share option reserve, accumulated other comprehensive income and deficit.

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue new debt, acquire or dispose of assets.

In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares annual expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions. The annual and updated budgets are approved by the Board of Directors. The Company does not pay out dividends.

As at September 30, 2012, the Company does not have any long-term debt and is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

 
 

 
MAG SILVER CORP.
Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
As at September 30, 2012 (expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)
 

 
The Company currently has sufficient working capital ($43.7 million) to maintain all of its properties and currently planned programs for a period in excess of the next year.  In management’s opinion, the Company is able to meet its ongoing current obligations as they become due. However, the Company will likely require 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. Future liquidity will depend upon the Company’s ability to arrange additional debt or equity financing, as the Company relies on equity financings to fund its exploration and corporate activities. While the Company has been successful in securing financings in the past, 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 favourable to the Company.


10.           FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s operations consist of the acquisition, exploration and development of district scale projects in the Mexican silver belt. The Company examines the various financial risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of occurrence. These risks may include credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risks. Where material, these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors.

(a)           Credit risk

Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the financial benefits of contracts with a specific counterparty will be lost if a counterparty defaults on its obligations under the contract. This includes any cash amounts owed to the Company by those counterparties, less any amounts owed to the counterparty by the Company where a legal right of set-off exists and also includes the fair values of contracts with individual counterparties which are recorded in the financial statements.

(i)           Trade credit risk
The Company is in the exploration stage and has not yet commenced commercial production or sales. Therefore, the Company is not exposed to significant trade credit risk and overall the Company’s credit risk has not changed significantly from the prior year.

(ii)          Cash
In order to manage credit and liquidity risk the Company’s policy is to invest only in highly rated investment grade instruments that have maturities of three months or less. Limits are also established based on the type of investment, the counterparty and the credit rating.

(iii)         Mexican value added tax
As at September 30, 2012, the Company had a receivable of $891,829 from the Mexican government for value added tax (Note 3). The balance is all current and a full recovery is expected by management.

The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk as at September 30, 2012 is the carrying value of its cash and accounts receivable, and the value of its 44% proportionate cash and accounts receivable held in Minera Juanicipio (Note 6), as follows:

Sept. 30, 2012
   
Dec. 31, 2011
 
Cash
  $ 44,081,885     $ 26,217,409  
Accounts receivable
    1,123,544       805,106  
44% share of Minera Juanicipio cash and receivables
    1,093,442       404,915  
    $ 46,298,871     $ 27,427,430  


(b)           Liquidity risk

The Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company's normal operating requirements, its exploration and development plans, and its various optional property and other commitments (see Notes 6, 7 and 14). The annual budget is approved by the Board of Directors. The Company ensures that there are sufficient cash balances to meet its short-term business requirements.

The Company's overall liquidity risk has not changed significantly from the prior year.


(c)           Currency risk

The Company is exposed to the financial risks related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates, both in the Mexican Peso relative to the US$, and in the US$ relative to the C$. The Company does not use any derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.  The Company is also exposed to inflation risk in Mexico.


Mexican Peso relative to the US$

Although the majority of operating expenses in Mexico are both determined and denominated in US$, an appreciation in the Mexican peso relative to the US$ will slightly increase the Company’s cost of operations in Mexico related to those operating costs denominated and determined in Mexican pesos.

A depreciation in the Mexican peso against the US$ will result in a loss to the extent that the Company holds net monetary assets in pesos. Specifically, the Company's foreign currency exposure is comprised of peso denominated cash and value added taxes receivable, net of accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying amount of the Company’s net peso denominated monetary assets at September 30, 2012 is 6,725,255 Mexican pesos (December 31, 2011 is 17,874,871 pesos).  A 10% depreciation in the peso relative to the US$ would result in an additional loss as at September 30, 2012 of $52,328 (December 31, 2011 of $127,872).  A 10% appreciation in the peso against the US$ would result in an equivalent decrease in net loss.


US$ relative to the C$ and the Cumulative Translation Adjustment

 
 

 
MAG SILVER CORP.
Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
As at September 30, 2012 (expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)
 

 
 
Each entity in the Company determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency, and then translated to the US$ presentation currency. The functional currency of MAG, the parent entity, is the C$ which differs from the US$ presentation currency.  It therefore translates its results and financial position into the US$ presentation currency in accordance with IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, whereby assets and liabilities are translated to the reporting currency using the exchange rate at period end, and income, expenses and cash flow items are translated using the rate that approximates the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions (i.e. the average rate for the period), with the resulting exchange differences reported as a cumulative translation adjustment in other comprehensive income.

The sensitivity of the Company's other comprehensive loss for the period ended September 30, 2012 due to changes in the C$ exchange rate in relation to the US$ is summarized as follows: a 10% appreciation in the Canadian dollar against the US$ would decrease the comprehensive loss for the period by $4,568,723 and a 10% depreciation in the Canadian dollar against the US$ would increase the comprehensive loss for the period by $4,568,723.

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recognized a currency translation gain in other comprehensive income of $763,891 (September 30, 2011 – loss of $2,705,039) resulting from the translation from C$ to US$ of the Company’s parent entity, which has a C$ functional currency. The C$ as measured against the US$ was 1.0171 at September 30, 2012, compared to 0.9822 US$/C$ at June 30, 2012.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recognized a currency translation gain in other comprehensive income of $841,608 (September 30, 2011 – loss of $1,531,316) resulting from the translation from C$ to US$ of the Company’s parent entity, which has a C$ functional currency. The C$ as measured against the US$ was 1.0171 at September 30, 2012, compared to 0.9833 US$/C$ at December 31, 2011.


 (d)         Interest rate risk

The Company’s interest revenue earned on cash is exposed to interest rate risk. A decrease in interest rates would result in lower relative interest income and an increase in interest rates would result in higher relative interest income.


11.           FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, marketable securities including warrants, and trade and other payables.  The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, interest receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities reported in the consolidated statement of financial position approximate their respective fair values due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rate and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, forward pricing curves used to value currency and commodity contracts and volatility measurements used to value option contracts), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data or other means. Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

 
 

 
MAG SILVER CORP.
Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
As at September 30, 2012 (expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)
 

 
 
The Company’s financial assets or liabilities as measured in accordance with the fair value hierarchy described above are:
 
 
Fair Value Hierarchy
     
Sept. 30, 2012
   
Dec. 31, 2011
 
Level 1
(1 )   $ 365,387     $ 496,365  
Level 2
(2 )     -       -  
Level 3
(3     -       -  
         $ 365,387       $ 496,365   

     (1) The fair value of available-for-sale marketable securities (Note 4) is determined based on a market approach reflecting the closing price of each particular security as at the statement of financial position date. The closing price is a quoted                market price obtained from the exchange that is the principal active market for the particular security, and therefore available-for-sale securities are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

(2) The fair value of FVTPL warrants that are not traded in an active market is determined using a Black-Scholes model based on assumptions that are supported by observable current market conditions and as such are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The use of possible alternative reasonable assumptions would not significantly affect the Company’s results.

The Company’s 250,000 FVTPL warrants expired unexercised on May 6, 2012.

(3) There were no financial instruments fair valued within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as at September 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011.


12.           SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Company operates in one segment, being the exploration of mineral properties in Mexico. Substantially all of the Company’s long term assets are located in Mexico and the Company’s executive and head office is located in Canada.


13.           RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

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”).  These companies have a common director with the Company, however, all transactions are incurred in the normal course of business, and are measured at the exchange amount which was the consideration established and agreed to by the noted parties, and represents a fair market value for services rendered.  A significant portion of the expenditures which are incurred on the Company’s behalf, are charged to Company on a “cost + 10%” basis typical of industry standards.

As at September 30, 2012 (expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated)
 

 
 
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company accrued or paid Cascabel and IMDEX consulting, administration and travel fees totaling $79,858 and $242,760 respectively (September 30, 2011: $56,587 and $235,863 respectively) and exploration reimbursements and costs totaling $850,571 and $1,879,871 respectively (September 30, 2011: $645,501 and $1,898,445 respectively) under the Field Services Agreement. Included in trade and other payables at September 30, 2012 is $557,317 related to these services (September 30, 2011: $437,561).

    $ 370,442     $ 1,187,271     $ 4,732,189     $ 6,289,902  

As these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting (except for cash flow information), these commitments are not recorded as liabilities until incurred or until due under the terms of the option agreement.

The Company could be subject to various investigations, claims and legal and tax proceedings covering matters that arise in the ordinary course of business activities. Each of these matters would be subject to various uncertainties and it is possible that some matters may be resolved unfavourably to the Company.  Certain conditions may exist as of the date of the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur.  The Company is not aware of any such claims or investigations, and as such has not recorded any related provisions and does not expect such matters to result in a material impact on the results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

Other contractual obligations include a 2.5% net smelter returns royalty under the terms of an agreement dated February 26, 2004, whereby the Company acquired a 100% interest in the Cinco de Mayo property, and a 4.5% net smelter returns royalty on the interest in the Don Fippi mining concessions located in the Batopilas, and a 2.5% net smelter returns royalty under the terms an agreement dated March 30, 2010, whereby the Company entered into an option agreement to earn a 100% interest in the Mojina Property (Note 7).

The Company makes cash deposits to Minera Juanicipio from time to time as cash called by operator Fresnillo (Note 6). The scale and scope of the Juanicipio project could require development capital in the years ahead exceeding the Company’s on hand cash resources.  It is unlikely that the Company will generate sufficient operating cash flow to meet these ongoing obligations in the foreseeable future.  Accordingly the Company may need to raise additional capital by issuance of equity in the future.


15.           INCOME TAXES

The income taxes recognized in profit or loss is as follows:

The Company incurred a loss before tax for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 of $3,609,463 and $7,007,248, respectively (September 30, 2011: $3,049,184 and $4,463,336, respectively).  As insufficient evidence exists to support current or future realization of the tax benefits associated with this loss, the benefit of certain tax assets have not been recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

The $840,052 deferred tax recovery for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 (September 30, 2011 – Nil) relates to the reversal of a deferred tax liability that was set up at December 31, 2011 in relation to temporary differences between the book and tax base of its Mexican non-monetary assets. The tax base of these non-monetary assets is determined in a different currency (Mexican Peso) than the functional currency (US$), and changes in the exchange rate can give rise to temporary differences that result in a deferred tax liability in accordance with IAS 12 Income
Taxes.  With the strengthening of the Mexican Peso against the US$ from 13.98 Pesos/US$ on December 31, 2011 to 12.85 Pesos/US$ on September 30, 2012, the previously recognized deferred tax liability was entirely reversed.


16.           ARBITRATION AWARD

In the prior year, in a ruling dated April 28, 2011, the Company was awarded damages of $1.86 million in a favourable unanimous ruling of a three member arbitral panel of the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) with respect to the arbitration proceedings commenced in Mexico against its joint venture partner, Fresnillo.  The ICC upheld MAG's interpretation that Fresnillo breached the standstill provision in the Shareholders Agreement and, in accordance with Mexican law, awarded MAG $1.86 million in damages.  The damage award represented MAG's direct costs of defending Fresnillo’s improper take-over bid in late 2008 and 2009.


17.           SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to September 30, 2012:

a)  
The Company issued 239,853 common shares pursuant to the exercise of stock options between C$5.32 and C$10.01 per share for aggregate proceeds of C$1,518,230;

b)  
The Company granted 300,000 stock options under the Company’s Plan to two new directors, exercisable at C$12.19 per share, with a term of five years, and vesting 100,000 immediately, 100,000 after 12 months and 100,000 after 24 months from the date of grant; and,

c)  
425,000 stock options with an exercise price of C$14.15 expired unexercised.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012




OVERVIEW

MAG Silver Corp. (“MAG” or the “Company”) is a mineral exploration and predevelopment company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of district scale projects located within the Mexican silver belt.  The Company is based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and its common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol MAG and on the NYSE MKT (formerly NYSE Amex) 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 following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) of MAG focuses on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.  It is prepared as of November 13, 2012 and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2011, together with the notes thereto.

All dollar amounts referred to in this MD&A are expressed in United States dollars (“US$”) except where indicated otherwise.  Effective January 1, 2012, the Company changed its presentation currency from the Canadian dollar (“C$”) to the US$ on a retrospective basis (see ‘Changes in Accounting Policies’ below).  The change in presentation currency is to better reflect the Company’s business activities and to improve investors’ ability to compare the Company’s financial results with other publicly traded businesses in the mining industry.
 
The Company believes it is a Passive Foreign Investment Company (“PFIC”), as that term is defined in Section 1297 of the U.S. 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.

Except for historical information contained in this MD&A, the disclosures contained herein are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 or are future oriented financial information and as such are based on an assumed set of economic conditions and courses of action.  These may include estimates of future production levels, expectations regarding mine production and development programs and capital costs, expected trends in mineral prices and statements that describe future plans, objectives or goals.  There is significant risk that actual results will vary, perhaps materially, from results projected depending on such factors as discussed under “Risks and Uncertainties” in this MD&A and other risk factors and forward-looking statements listed in the Company’s most recently filed Annual Information Form (“AIF”).  More information about the Company including its AIF and recent financial reports are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the SEC’s EDGAR website at www.sec.gov.

Unless otherwise specifically noted herein, all scientific or technical information in this MD&A, including reserve estimates was based upon information prepared by or under the supervision of Dr. Peter Megaw, Ph.D., C.P.G., a certified professional geologist who is a “Qualified Person” for purposes of National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“National Instrument 43-101” or “NI 43-101”) and/or are prepared by or under the supervision of Dan MacInnis P. Geo., a certified professional geologist who is a “Qualified Person” for purposes of NI 43-101.

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

This MD&A uses the terms "Inferred Resources" and “Indicated Resources.”  MAG advises investors that although these terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations (under NI 43-101), the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) does not recognize these terms. Investors are cautioned that "inferred resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or prefeasibility studies. Investors are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an inferred resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.  Investors are further cautioned not to assume that any part or all of an indicated mineral resource will be converted into reserves.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
 
As at September 30, 2012, the Company had working capital of $43,685,026 (compared to $29,785,446 at September 30, 2011), including cash on hand of $44,081,885 (compared to $28,977,983 at September 30, 2011). The Company’s reserves of cash originate from financings. The increase in cash over the prior period is a result of a private placement financing that closed on September 5, 2012 for net proceeds of $31,325,931 (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below).


Three Months Ended September 30, 2012

The Company’s net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2012 amounted to $3,609,463 (2011: $3,049,184).  The increased loss compared to the prior period is a direct result of costs incurred in the current quarter dealing and negotiating with a dissident group of MAG shareholders, Mining Investors for Shareholder Value ("MISV").  MISV, which collectively held approximately 9.76% of MAG's outstanding shares, and the Company ultimately reached an agreement on September 4, 2012 whereby MAG agreed to nominate Richard Clark and Peter Barnes for election at the annual and special meeting (“Annual Meeting”) of shareholders held on October 5, 2012. Under the terms of the agreement with MISV, MAG presented a slate of nine directors to shareholders at the Annual Meeting, comprised of Mr. Clark and Mr. Barnes along with seven existing members of MAG's board.  Subsequent to the quarter end, the shareholders overwhelmingly elected all nine directors standing for election.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, legal fees of $727,857 (2011: $145,894), general office expenses of $641,936 (2011:$264,137) which include all Annual Meeting related fees, and shareholder relations expenses of $155,340 (2011: $54,308), all increased due to the MISV dealings and negotiations.  In addition to legal advice on the matter, specific costs included additional proxy solicitation fees, an independent compensation report (prepared to dispel MISV claims of excessive overheads), and the reimbursement to MISV of all fees incurred by them, as agreed to in the MAG/MISV settlement agreement.

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company granted 760,000 stock options (2011: 750,000) and recorded $1,556,295 (2011: $1,739,440) of share based payment expense relating to stock options vesting to employees and consultants in the period.  The fair value of all share-based payment compensation is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model.

In the three months ended September 30, 2012, accounting and audit fees decreased to $94,485 (2011: $181,500) as in the prior period the Company incurred additional professional fees related to the internal restructuring of its Mexican property holdings. Other expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2012 including amortization of $11,003 (2011: $13,995), filing and transfer agent fees of $5,326 (2011: $28,048), management and consulting fees of $438,294 (2011: $548,965), and travel expense of $68,255 (2011: $49,253) were all either comparable to prior year’s expenses or not significant to the overall operations of the quarter.  There was a foreign exchange gain for the three months ended September 30, 2012 of $60,807 (2011: loss of $121,806), impacted by fluctuations in the Mexican Peso relative to the United States dollar (“US$”).

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, interest income earned of $28,521 (2011: $98,672) was less than in the prior period due to lower average cash balances on hand through the period.

In the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $72,545 (2011: loss of $218,953) in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”) on marketable securities held and designated as available-for-sale instruments. A currency translation gain of $763,891 (2011: loss of $2,705,039) was also recorded in OCI, resulting from the translation from C$ to US$ of the Company’s parent entity, which has a C$ functional currency. The C$ as measured against the US$ was 1.0171 at September 30, 2012, compared to 0.9822 US$/C$ at June 30, 2012.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012

The Company’s net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 amounted to $6,167,196 (2011: $4,463,335).  The current period’s net loss increased due to additional costs incurred leading up to the settlement agreement with the dissident MISV shareholder group (see above).  Specifically, legal fees increased to $1,156,039 (2011: $1,032,500), and general office expenses increased to $998,581 (2011: $591,393).  The prior period’s net loss was also reduced by the receipt of an arbitration award in the amount of $1,858,120 from the Company’s Juanicipio Joint Venture partner Fresnillo Plc. (“Fresnillo”).

Accounting and audit fees of $371,559 (2011: $467,005) decreased in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as the prior period reflected additional professional fees related to the internal restructuring of its Mexican property holdings.  Travel and shareholder relations expenses of $266,887 (2011: $185,434) and $556,379 (2011: $157,114), respectively, increased as a result of increased local and foreign marketing activities to broaden investor awareness about the Company.  Other expenses incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 included amortization of $32,783 (2011: $42,102), filing and transfer agent fees of $140,434 (2011: $172,506), management and consulting fees of $1,219,564 (2011: $1,386,667), and a foreign exchange gain of $11,726 (2011: loss of $53,601), were all either comparable to prior year’s expenses or not significant to the overall operations of the period.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company granted 860,000 stock options (2011: 750,000) and recorded $2,428,600 (2011: $2,538,908) of share based payment expense relating to stock options vesting to employees and consultants in the period.  The fair value of all share-based payment compensation is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model.

There were no property impairments or write-offs in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 (2011: Nil).

Interest income earned for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased to $151,852 (2011: $311,604), reflecting lower cash balances on hand during the current period.  Interest earned correlates directly to the amount of cash on hand during the period and the prevailing interest rates.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company also recorded a deferred income tax recovery of $840,052 (2011: Nil).  The recovery represents a reversal of a deferred tax liability of $840,052 that was set up at December 31, 2011 in relation to temporary differences between the book and tax base of its Mexican non-monetary assets.  The tax base of these non-monetary assets is determined in a different currency (Mexican Peso) than the functional currency (US$), and changes in the exchange rate can give rise to temporary differences that result in a deferred tax liability in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes.  With the strengthening of the Mexican Peso against the US$ from 13.98 Pesos/US$ on December 31, 2011 to 12.85 Pesos/US$ on September 30, 2012, the previously recognized deferred tax liability was entirely reversed in the current period.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, there was an unrealized loss of $130,978 (2011: $452,711) recorded in OCI on marketable securities held and designated as held for trading instruments.  A currency translation gain of $841,608 (2011: loss of $1,531,316) was also recorded in OCI in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, resulting from the translation from C$ to US$ of the Company’s parent entity which has a C$ functional currency.  The C$ as measured against the US$ was 1.0171 at September 30, 2012, compared to 0.9833 US$/C$ at December 31, 2011.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company’s independently incurred joint venture expenditures on the Juanicipio property amounted to $76,936 and $783,074 respectively (2011: 101,637 and $265,650 respectively), and its joint venture advances amounted to $748,000 and $2,420,000 respectively (2011: $743,600 and $1,579,600 respectively).  Exploration and evaluation on the Juanicipio property is being conducted by the project operator, Fresnillo and the Company’s share of costs is funded through its 44% interest in Minera Juanicipio S.A. de C.V. (“Minera Juanicipio”) (see Juanicipio Property below) along with the Company’s own direct oversight expenditures.  The Company’s own exploration activity was focused on its 100% owned Cinco de Mayo property, where $1,609,627 and $7,600,358 was expended in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively (2011: $1,749,824  and $5,435,340 respectively), and 33,067 metres (2011: 23,771) were drilled in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 (see Cinco de Mayo Property below).

The following property discussions are a summary of, and an update to, disclosure and documentation filed with regulatory agencies and available for viewing under MAG’s profile on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com and on SEC’s EDGAR website at www.sec.gov.


Juanicipio Property

The Company owns 44% of Minera Juanicipio, a Mexican incorporated joint venture company, which owns and operates the Juanicipio property located in the Fresnillo District, Zacatecas State, Mexico.  Fresnillo holds the remaining 56% interest in the joint venture and is the project operator.  The Juanicipio Property hosts, at this time, three significantly identified high grade silver (gold, lead and zinc) veins: the Valdecañas Vein, with its footwall offshoot the Desprendido Vein and the Juanicipio Vein.

Exploration of the Juanicipio Property is designed by the Minera Juanicipio Technical Committee, approved by the Minera Juanicipio Board of Directors and executed by the project operator Fresnillo.  The Company’s share of costs is funded primarily through its 44% interest in Minera Juanicipio, and to a lesser extent directly incurred by the Company to cover expenses related to parallel technical studies and analyses commissioned by the Company, as well as direct oversight of the drilling programs executed on the property.  For the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company’s total expenditures on the Juanicipio property amounted to $824,936 (2011: $845,237), and included $748,000 (2011: $743,600) for its 44% share of cash advances, and a further $76,936 (2011: $101,637) accrued or expended directly by the Company on project oversight.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company’s expenditures on the Juanicipio property amounted to $3,203,074 (2011: $1,845,250), and included $2,420,000 (2011: $1,579,600) for its 44% share of cash advances, and a further $783,074 (2011: $265,650) accrued or expended directly by the Company on project oversight.  Cumulatively to September 30, 2012, the Company has spent on its own account and advanced Minera Juanicipio a total of $18,135,122 (2011: $14,154,606) for its 44% of acquisition and exploration costs.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012

 
 
Evaluation and exploration expenditures directly incurred by Minera Juanicipio for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 amounted to $3,978,626 (2011: $3,288,026) including $1,156,258 (2011: $1,234,821) in the three months ended September 30, 2012.  Minera Juanicipio has completed 19,545 metres of drilling on the property in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, representing approximately 54% of the drilling budget proposed for the year.   Drilling has been designed to convert inferred mineral resources to indicated mineral resources on the Valdecañas Vein and delineate the high grade ore shoot emerging on the Juanicipio Vein.  Additional drilling was also targeted on the Las Venadas vein and on searching for the next vein.

Currently, seven drills continue in operation on the property.


Updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (“UPEA”)

A National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") compliant Updated Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Juanicipio Project carried out by AMC Mining Consultants (Canada) Ltd. (the "AMC Study") was announced on June 14, 2012 and filed on SEDAR on July 16, 2012, (see News Release dated June 14, 2012).

The AMC Study was commissioned as one of the studies necessary to evaluate the manner in which the Juanicipio Property might be developed on a ‘stand-alone’ basis.  The AMC Study defines the Juanicipio Project 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.


AMC STUDY BASE CASE HIGHLIGHTS 1
·  
Pre-tax Net Present Value ("NPV") at a 5% discount rate of $1.762 billion and an Internal Rate of Return ("IRR") of 54%;
·  
After-tax NPV at a 5% discount rate of $1.233 billion and IRR of 43%;
·  
Payback of 3 years after plant start-up;
·  
Initial capital cost of $302 million over a 3.5 year (42 months) pre-development period;
·  
Sustaining capital of $267 million over life of mine, to be funded out of operating cash flows;
·  
A 14.8 year mine life from mining and processing 13.3 million tonnes, averaging 416 grams per tonne ("g/t") silver, 1.3 g/t gold, 1.4% lead and 2.7% zinc;
·  
Life-of-Mine ("LOM") payable production of 153 million ounces silver, 430,000 ounces gold, 361 million pounds lead and 584 million pounds zinc from the production of lead, zinc and pyrite concentrates;
·  
Annual payable silver production averages 10.3 million ounces at a total cash cost of (negative) ($0.03) per ounce silver, net of by-product credits (MAG's 44% annual share of payable silver ounces is 4.5 million ounces);
·  
For the first full six years of commercial production, payable silver production averages 15.1 million ounces per year at a cash cost of $0.27 per ounce silver, net of by-product credits (MAG's 44% annual share is 6.6 million ounces) and;
·  
The AMC Study does not take into account any potential mining, processing or infrastructure synergies from any association with the adjoining property owned by Fresnillo.

1 The AMC Base Case utilizes a discount rate of 5% and three year trailing average metal prices for silver ($23.39 per ounce), gold ($1,257 per ounce), lead ($0.95 per pound) and zinc ($0.91 per pound) to December 31, 2011.

Table 1 below illustrates the effect of silver and gold prices on key economic measures. Note that the gold price varies with the silver price at a constant ratio of approximately 53.7:1.

As indicated, project economics are robust across all modeled silver and gold price scenarios, and improve materially as the silver price exceeds the Base Case pricing. For example, at a $30.00 per ounce silver price and a 5% discount rate, the pre-tax NPV and IRR respectively increase to $2,455 million and 65% and $1,734 million and 53% on an after-tax basis. MAG's 44% pre and post tax interest under this scenario equates to $1,080 million (and 65% IRR) and $763 million (and 53% IRR) respectively.

Qualified Person: The estimate of the tonnage and grade of material to be mined and processed that form the basis for the economic assessment, and the financial analysis, disclosed in this MD&A for the Juanicipio Project are derived from the NI 43-101 compliant technical report entitled “Minera Juanicipio Property, Zacatecas State, Mexico, Technical Report for Minera Juanicipio S.A de C.V”, authored by AMC Mining Consultants (Canada) Ltd. and dated 1 July 2012, which is filed on SEDAR. Mr. Michael Petrina, P.Eng, a “Qualified Person” for the purpose of National Instrument 43-101 and MAG’s Vice President, Operations, has read and approved the contents of this MD&A as it pertains to the disclosed financial analysis. 

The mineral resources used for the estimate in the NI 43-101 Technical Report for Minera Juanicipio S.A. de C.V. are derived from the NI 43-101 compliant technical report entitled “Mineral Resource Estimate, Minera Juanicipio, S.A. de C.V., Zacatecas, Mexico”, authored by Strathcona Minera Services Limited and dated November 2011 which is filed on SEDAR. Mr. Michael Petrina, P.Eng, a “Qualified Person” for the purpose of National Instrument 43-101 and MAG’s Vice President, Operations, has read and approved the contents of this MD&A as it pertains to the disclosed mineral resource estimate. 

While the results of the AMC Study are promising, the AMC Study constitutes an updated preliminary economic assessment which by definition 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.  There can therefore be no certainty that the updated preliminary economic assessment in the AMC Study will be realized.  It is also important to note that mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Inferred Mineral Resources are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves.

Approval of Underground Development Program

With the completion of the AMC Study, MAG and Fresnillo now have a framework on which the joint venture Technical Committee can 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 (based on the recommendation of the Minera Juanicipio Technical Committee) had approved an 18 month mine permitting and underground development budget of $25 million ($10.0 million for 2012 with the remaining $15 million earmarked for 2013).

The budgeted program covers mine permitting, surface preparation and the commencement of the first 2,500 metres of underground decline development. The Joint Venture has begun the permitting process and anticipates receipt of all necessary permits by early 2013, with the underground decline ground breaking expected to follow shortly thereafter.

The proposed work plan is based on recommendations provided to Minera Juanicipio in the AMC Study (see UPEA above). The development program will be managed by Fresnillo, as operators of the Joint Venture.  Currently, in addition to the permitting process, various recommended studies have begun.  A hydrogeology (water management) study has been commenced.  A geotechnical study is being undertaken with the assistance of Peñoles’ (a related party of Fresnillo) Geotechnical & Construction Group, which has included a visit to the nearby Fresnillo Saucito operation in order to analyze rock quality in anticipation of stope preparation and development at Juanicipio.  As well, a division of Peñoles has been contracted to run the recommended metallurgical tests, with results expected in early 2013.

The previously approved 2012 exploration program primarily targeted on finding other veins continues as planned.


Cinco de Mayo Property

The Cinco de Mayo Project is a 25,000 hectare district-scale project owned 100% by the Company.  Cinco de Mayo is located approximately 190 kilometres northwest of the city of Chihuahua, in northern Chihuahua State, Mexico, within a regional geological belt where some of the world’s largest Carbonate Replacement Deposits (“CRD”) are located and mined.  Cinco de Mayo is the most advanced of MAG’s four CRD project areas in this belt and work over the last few years has revealed Cinco de Mayo as a major new CRD district. The Cinco de Mayo project consists of four major parts: the Jose Manto-Bridge Zone (“Upper Manto”) silver-lead-zinc body; the newly discovered Pegaso Zone that lies beneath the Upper Manto; the Pozo Seco high grade molybdenum-gold resource area; and the surrounding Cinco de Mayo exploration area.

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred exploration and evaluation costs of $1,609,627 and $7,600,358 respectively (2011: $1,749,824 and $5,435,340, respectively) at Cinco de Mayo where drilling totaled approximately 33,067 metres (2011: 23,771) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
 
Upper Manto (Jose Manto - Bridge Zone)

The 2012 drilling program was largely focused on delineation drilling to determine the width and continuity of  new high grade silver / lead / zinc mineralization intercepts discovered in 2011 in what is called the “Bridge Zone”.  The “Bridge Zone” spans the gap between mineralization in the long-known Jose Manto and Cinco Ridge areas.

Definition drilling in the Bridge Zone proceeded on a series of sections spaced approximately 250 metres apart.    Each section was tested with a fence of holes designed to intercept the mineralization every 50 metres downdip. Most holes were drilled at -70 degrees inclination and intercepts appear to be close to true width. The best intercepts were:  Hole 430, on the 383 Section at the northwest end of the Bridge Zone, which reported 84 g/t (2.4 ounces per ton (“opt”)) silver with 1.6% lead and 11.0% zinc over 11.79 metres; including: 160 g/t (4.7 opt) silver with 3.2% lead and 12% zinc over 5.87 metres; including: 2.54 metres that grades 258 g/t (7.5 opt) silver with 7.1% lead and 25.9% zinc; and Hole 418, on the 382 Section at the southeast end of the Bridge Zone which reported 131 g/t (3.8 opt) silver with 4.6% lead and 6.8% zinc over 9.17 metres; including: 2.70 metres that grades 256 g/t (7.5 opt) silver with 6.8% lead and 8.0% zinc (see press release dated September 6, 2012).

On October 3, 2012, MAG announced that Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. (“RPA”) had completed the first independent mineral resource estimate for the Upper Manto zone (see press release dated October 3, 2012).  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) (see Table 2).

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.

Hole CM12-431: The Pegaso Zone

In mid-June, 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 (see press release dated July 18, 2012).  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 CRD system that MAG has been systematically seeking at Cinco de Mayo.  The mineralization in the upper intercepts of hole CM12-431 are likely connected to the high-grade silver-lead-zinc mineralization in the 4 kilometre long Upper Manto, simultaneously undergoing delineation drilling, indicating that continuous mineralization exists from 125 to 900 metres vertical depth.

These new mineralized intercepts in hole CM12-431 start at 730 metres down hole and continue to nearly 1,000 metres depth down hole (approximately 900 metres vertical depth).  The Pegaso Zone is the thickest and deepest intercept, beginning at 927 metres down hole and continuing for 61.6 metres with an average grade of 89 g/t (2.6 opt) silver, 0.78 g/t gold, 0.13% copper with 2.1% lead and 7.3% zinc; including: 31.9 metres that grades 117 g/t (3.4 opt) silver, 1.13 g/t gold, 0.16% copper with 2.7% lead and 9.3% zinc.  The Pegaso Zone lies behind (southwest of) the structures that host the Upper Manto, and appears to be a totally new mineralization zone.  The three additional intercepts (see Table 4) ranging from 3.12 to 20.15 metres thick lie above this, between 817 and 900 metres depth. The best is the 10 metre intercept (817.22 - 827.22 metres down hole) which returned 1.38 g/t gold, 139 g/t (4.1 opt) silver, 0.11% copper, 2.62% lead and 11.8% zinc. This intercept is believed to be the down-dip extension of the Bridge Zone.  The gold and copper grades in all four intercepts are the highest and most consistent yet encountered on the project.  Significantly, broad zones of coarse marble and pervasive tungsten-bearing garnet skarn occur above, between and below the massive sulphide zones, but  no intrusions were seen in hole CM12-431 and very little of the sulphides encountered to date in the Pegaso Zone appear to be replacing skarn silicates.  These results suggest both that the near-intrusion source zone is nearby but has not yet been reached.

Summary of combined Upper Manto-Pegaso Zone results

Combining hole CM12-431 with holes CM12-392 and CM12-399, plus shallower drilling throughout the Upper Manto area (See press releases of March 22, May 17 and July 18, 2012), indicates that mineralization is continuous from 125 metres to 900 metres vertical depth, with a significant broadening in the Pegaso Zone between 800 and 900 metres depth. This broadening coincides with an increase in skarn alteration and increasing zinc, gold and copper grades – consistent with what MAG’s Carbonate Replacement Deposit (“CRD”) zoning model predicts as a source zone is approached.  Overall, near-surface Upper Manto mineralization appears higher in silver and lead than 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 (see press release of May 17, 2012).

Because of the expense of drilling at these depths, MAG has contracted for the execution of an orientation 2 and 3 Dimensional Seismic survey to determine if the system can be better defined in this area before further deep drilling is undertaken.  This work is scheduled to commence early in the first quarter of 2013.  Definition and exploration drilling will resume immediately thereafter pending completion of the seismic survey and permit renewal. As of May, 2012, exploration drilling permits require a “Soil Use Change Permit,” reflecting conversion of land from agricultural to industrial use.  These permits incorporate surface access permissions, verification of mining concession title, and compliance with environmental norms.  The Company is in the process assembling the information required in order to submit the application; final permit approval is expected in the first quarter of 2013.

Quality Assurance and Control – Cinco de Mayo: The Company has in place a quality control program to ensure best practices in sampling and analysis. Samples were collected by employees of consulting firm Minera Cascabel S.A. de C.V. on behalf of MAG Silver Corp. The diamond drill core samples are shipped directly in security sealed bags to ALS-Chemex Laboratories preparation facilities in Hermosillo, Sonora or Chihuahua City (Certification ISO 9001). Sample pulps are shipped from there to ALS-Chemex Laboratories in North Vancouver, Canada for analysis. All samples were assayed for gold by standard fire assay-ICP finish with a 50 gram charge. Gold values in excess of 3.00 g/t were re-analyzed by fire assay with gravimetric finish for greater accuracy. Silver, zinc, copper and lead values in excess of 100 ppm, 1%, 1% and 1% respectively are also repeated by fire assay and atomic absorption analysis.

Pozo Seco Molybdenum-Gold Zone – Mineral Resource Estimate

In late 2009 the Company announced the discovery of a new zone of high grade molybdenum and gold mineralization named “Pozo Seco” in the western part of the Cinco de Mayo project area, and in 2010 the Company released an independently prepared first Mineral Resource estimate for the Pozo Seco deposit based on drill results available to July 12, 2010.  Since that time, the Company has worked with three different respected metallurgical laboratories in order to find the best technical solution and associated flow sheet for recovering both oxidized molybdenum and free-milling gold from the Pozo Seco resource. 

Metallurgical test work to date indicates that recoveries of both molybdenum and gold are sufficient to warrant the commencement of a PEA, and MAG has engaged Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. (“RPA”) and Samuel Engineering to carry out a Preliminary Economic Assessment which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Pozo Seco’s molybdenum mineralization is comparable in style to molybdenum-bearing mineralization that occurs in the proximal parts of several of the largest Mexican CRD systems, but is many times more extensive than the largest known occurrence in the San Martin-Sabinas skarn-CRD system in Zacatecas.  Further, Pozo Seco style gold-bearing silicified limestone breccias (jasperoids) are also common in Mexican CRD systems, but again the Pozo Seco gold mineralized jasperoid is substantially larger than the largest known occurrence in the Santa Eulalia CRD-skarn system in central Chihuahua.  This is taken as additional evidence that a very large scale CRD system exists at Cinco de Mayo.

Lagartos Properties

The Company owns a combined 135,000 hectare land package along the Fresnillo Silver Trend, a large regional structural zone that hosts the Guanajuato, Zacatecas and Fresnillo epithermal silver-gold vein districts.  The package has two major claim groups: Lagartos NW and Lagartos SE. The Lagartos SE claims surround the Zacatecas Silver District, where a series of six major vein swarms have produced over a billion ounces of silver since 1546.  Lagartos NW covers the immediate northwestern projection of the geology and structure of the Fresnillo Mining District into a broad alluvial valley punctuated by volcanic outcrops showing high-level alteration styles and mercury showings virtually identical to those that led to the Juanicipio discovery.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company expended $436,319 and $1,017,618, respectively, in exploration and evaluation on the combined Lagartos properties (2011: $418,074 and $753,620 respectively), primarily on the Lagartos SE claims in the first quarter of the year where drilling on the ‘LAG V’ claim totaled 619 metres in one hole testing the El Orito Structure.  More holes will be required to investigate the structure at depth, and further drilling is contemplated for 2013. Field mapping and sampling was initiated during the third quarter on the Lagartos V claim, near the town of Sombrerete, Zacatacas within Lagartos NW.  Sample results are pending.


Mojina

The Mojina Property is located in northern Chihuahua State 5 kilometres from the town of Ricardo Flores Magon and 40 kilometres south of the Company’s Cinco de Mayo property. Mojina is easily accessed from a paved highway and unpaved roads and tracks. Mojina lies along the main strand of the Mexican CRD Belt along the same structure and in the same stratigraphic section as Cinco de Mayo. A small former mine is located on the property which reported limited but high grade past production, estimated at 125,000 tonnes grading 80-330 g/t (2.3 - 10 opt) silver, 2-4 g/t gold and 8-10% lead from oxidized manto ores between 1954 and 1972.

On March 30, 2010, the Company entered into an option agreement to earn a 100% interest in the Mojina Property, subject to a 2.5% net smelter returns royalty, half of which can be purchased at any time for $1,250,000.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid $35,000 upon signing the agreement and an additional $65,000 in 2010, an additional $61,181 in 2011, and an additional $81,131 in January 2012.  To earn its 100% interest, the Company is required to make additional scheduled cash payments totaling C$805,000 through 2015, and incur cumulative qualifying exploration expenditures totaling $2,500,000 over five years to 2015, including expenditures of $800,000 by March 31, 2013.  To September 30, 2012, the Company had incurred $1,423,338 in exploration and evaluation costs, including $1,115,087 in qualifying expenditures under the agreement.

On June 25, 2010, the Company acquired by concession an additional claim adjacent to the optioned claims.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company expended $21,088 and $405,504 respectively, in exploration and evaluation costs on the Mojina Property (2011: $69,535 and $237,983 respectively) where drilling in the first quarter of the year totaled approximately 892 metres in 2 holes testing a large scale magnetic high and further trace the felsic dyke contact. Neither of the holes encountered significant mineralization. Further geophysical and geological work is contemplated for 2013.


Esperanza Joint Venture

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company entered into an option agreement with Canasil Resources Inc. (“Canasil”) to earn  a 60% interest in certain mineral claims constituting the Esperanza Property, a silver-zinc-lead project covering 17,009 hectares, located 100 km SE of the city of Durango on the border between Durango and Zacatecas States. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company paid $47,315 upon signing the agreement in 2010, $102,070 in 2011, and a further $152,565 in 2012.  To earn its 60% interest in the property, the Company must make an additional cash payment of C$200,000 prior to September 1, 2013 and incur cumulative exploration expenditures of C$5,000,000 in stages to September 1, 2014. To September 30, 2012, the Company had incurred $1,885,788 in exploration and evaluation costs.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012

 
The Esperanza property hosts epithermal quartz breccia veins with silver, lead and zinc mineralization manifested by argentiferous galena, silver sulfosalts and sphalerite. There has been a history of past mining activity at Esperanza with direct shipments of reportedly high grade ore to local mills and smelters. The mine was last active in 1970, and was reportedly mined on three levels, using a main access shaft down to a depth of approximately 90 metres. There are a number of surface pits and dumps with ore and waste left over from past mining operations around the vein and mine area.

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, exploration expenditures on the property totaled $226,207 and $889,143 respectively (2011: $180,283 and $417,826 respectively).

The wide intercepts of quartz vein and breccia intercepted in the early drilling at Esperanza appeared to reflect a NW-plunging mineralized zone, supporting the premise that the structure may host significant mineralization over favorable widths.  Lateral offsets of these holes were undertaken in early 2012 with 8 holes, two of which were lost.   No significant vein intercepts were made and geologic interpretation indicates that the drilled segment of the Esperanza Vein lies in an uplifted fault block bounded by NE-SW faults on either end.  Drilling beyond the fault block did not encounter the vein where projected, so work is underway to determine direction and magnitude of offset on the faults to determine where to target the vein in drilling later this year.  It is likely that if vein is found in the downthrown blocks it will be encountered at a high, silver-rich level with respect to typical epithermal vein zoning.

Current effort on the Esperanza Joint Venture has shifted to the Fatima, Alamitos and San Pascual veins, which straddle the Zacatecas and Durango State borders, and have never been drilled.  Soil Use Change Permits were initiated in June, 2012 and obtained in October 2012.  On receipt of permits in early October, MAG began mobilizing crews to prepare for the start of the Phase 2 drill program, focused on these three virgin veins. The current planned program includes up to 3,500 metres of diamond drilling to test three silver-lead-zinc veins in the northwest of the project area.


The Don Fippi (Batopilas) Property

The 100%-owned Batopilas project covers 4,800 hectares in the historic Batopilas Silver District in southwestern Chihuahua.  Previous work in 2010 included mapping and sampling along a new road being built across the property by the State of Chihuahua.  Construction of the road was suspended during the 2011 rainy season and MAG is working with contacts in the state government to get the road work restarted.  Until the road is advanced, MAG cannot move forward on drilling the high-quality targets that remain in this high priority area.

The Company expended $42,688 (2011: $49,032) in exploration costs at Batopilas during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The 2012 exploration expenditures relate primarily to property maintenance and holding costs.


Other Properties

The Company’s remaining properties consist of the Nuevo Mundo claims, the Guigui claim options and the Lorena claims.

Nuevo Mundo

The Nuevo Mundo Property abuts the eastern side of Goldcorp’s “Camino Rojo” property in northern Zacatecas State.  According to public records, Camino Rojo is reported to contain a 2.3 million ounce gold resource.  Although Camino Rojo was largely a blind discovery, it is known to have a strong and characteristic Induced Polarization signature.  Options for this property are currently under review by the Company.

The Company spent $108,815 in exploration costs at Nuevo Mundo during the period ended September 30, 2012 (2011: $196,473), relating primarily to property maintenance costs.

Guigui

The Guigui project is a 4,500-hectare property in the Santa Eulalia Mining District, home to the world’s largest CRD camp.  Strong aerial magnetic anomalies remain to be drilled. The Company incurred $49,484 in exploration and holding costs on Guigui during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 (2011: $49,453).

Lorena

The Lorena property is located just north of the Guanajuato Silver Mining District within the Fresnillo Silver Trend and was identified from field work as a Juanicipio look-alike and staked in early 2008. No recent drilling or field work has been carried out and the claim group was reduced during 2010.  One drill target has been identified, but surface access needs to be resolved first.  Negotiations to access the principal drill target from a different direction are in process.
 
 
The Company expended $96,681 in exploration and holding costs at La Lorena during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 (2011: $87,569).


OUTLOOK

The Company continues to explore its properties in Mexico and intends to grow its independent project portfolio through successful exploration and acquisitions.  The Company’s working capital position remains strong and the Company continues to execute its business plan prudently.  The Company reviews and assesses the carrying amount of its exploration and evaluation assets and of its investment in associates for impairment when facts or circumstances suggest that the carrying amount is not recoverable.  Assessing the recoverability of these amounts requires considerable professional technical judgment, and is made with reference to the timing of exploration work, work programs proposed, exploration results achieved by the Company and by others in the related area of interest, and an assessment of the likely results to be achieved from performance of further exploration.  Based on its analysis, and on current and expected metals prices and cost structures, management has determined that the values of the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets and of its investment in associates, have not been impaired at this time. However, should current market conditions deteriorate and commodity prices decline for a prolonged period of time, an impairment of mineral properties may be required.

MAG has drilled over 58,000 metres in 2012 on five separate projects, including the Juanicipio Joint Venture and Cinco de Mayo project areas.

Minera Juanicipio Outlook

The Technical Committee and Board of Directors of Minera Juanicipio, comprised of representatives from both Fresnillo and the Company meet several times per year to discuss the business of Minera Juanicipio and to review and approve plans for the exploration and development of the Juanicipio property.  With the completion of the AMC Study which recommended the advancement of the project (see Results of Operations, Juancipio Property above), MAG and Fresnillo now have a framework on which the joint venture Technical Committee can build upon for the continued advancement of the Juanicipio Project.

The Technical Committee met in late July to discuss the AMC Study recommendations and the next steps in the development of the Juanicipio property. Various joint recommendations were made by the Technical Committee, based on which, an 18 month mine permitting and underground development budget of $25 million was approved by the board of directors of Minera Juanicipio.  This Juanicipio predevelopment budget is estimated at $10.0 million for 2012 with the remaining $15 million for 2013.  The original 2012 exploration budget of $8.5 million remains in effect, bringing the Joint Venture total 2012 obligation to $18.5 million for which MAG’s 44% share totals $8.14 million (of which $2.42 million has already been funded by MAG). The Company has the resources to fulfill its share of this initial 2012-2013 predevelopment budget (see Liquidity and Capital Resources below).

The 2013 underground development plan includes the first 2,500 metres of ramp development and is projected to cost $11.9 million with another $2.3 million dedicated to further drilling, plus $1.2 million for reporting, general and other administrative expenses.  MAG’s 44% share of the 2013 predevelopment budget is $6.6 million. The Minera Juancipio 2013 exploration budget will be determined in the fourth quarter.

Cinco de Mayo Outlook

As the current year drill results have continued to demonstrate continuity of massive sulphide mineralization in the ‘Bridge Zone’ along the Jose Manto-Cinco Ridge corridor, and with the recent announcement of an initial resource estimate, the Company is currently negotiating the terms of reference for a PEA on the Upper Manto.  In addition, metallurgical test work on the Pozo Seco zone has indicated that recoveries of both molybdenum and gold are sufficient to warrant a PEA, and MAG has engaged RPA and Samuel Engineering to carry out an independent PEA on Pozo Seco which will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012

 
The primary use of cash during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was for exploration and evaluation expenditures totaling $4,691,045 and $10,481,860 respectively (September 30, 2011: $2,027,446 and $6,344,784 respectively).  The Company also expended on its own account and through advances to Minera Juanicipio $824,936 and $3,203,074 respectively in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 (September 30, 2011: 813,203 and $1,813,216 respectively) on the Juanicipio property. The Company makes cash deposits to Minera Juanicipio from time to time as cash called by operator Fresnillo. The Company’s primary source of capital has been from the sale of equity.

The Company currently has sufficient working capital ($43 million at present) to maintain all of its properties and currently planned programs through 2013. However, the Company will require additional capital in the future to meet its project related expenditures, including its cash calls on the Juanicipio project.  It is unlikely that the Company will generate sufficient operating cash flow to meet all of its future expenditure requirements. Future liquidity will therefore depend upon the Company’s ability to arrange additional debt or equity financing, as the Company relies on equity financings to fund its exploration and development, and its corporate activities. While the Company has been successful in securing financings in the past, 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 favourable to the Company.

Contractual Obligations

The following table discloses the contractual obligations of the Company (as at the date of this MD&A) for optional mineral property acquisition payments, optional exploration work and committed lease obligations for office rent and equipment. Based on exploration results, the Company will select at its discretion, only certain properties to complete option and purchase arrangements on.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012

 
Other contractual obligations include a 2.5% net smelter returns royalty under the terms of an agreement dated February 26, 2004, whereby the Company acquired a 100% interest in the Cinco de Mayo property, and a 4.5% net smelter returns royalty on the interest in the Don Fippi mining concessions located in the Batopilas, and a 2.5% net smelter returns royalty under the terms an agreement dated March 30, 2010, whereby the Company entered into an option agreement to earn a 100% interest in the Mojina Property.
 
The Company makes cash deposits to Minera Juanicipio from time to time as cash called by operator Fresnillo. The scale and scope of the Juanicipio project will require development capital in the years ahead exceeding the Company’s on hand cash resources.  It is unlikely that the Company will generate sufficient operating cash flow to meet these ongoing obligations in the foreseeable future. Accordingly the Company will need to raise additional capital by issuance of equity in the future.


Other Items

The Company is unaware of any undisclosed liabilities or legal actions against the Company and the Company has no legal actions or cause against any third party at this time.

The Company is unaware of any condition of default under any debt, regulatory, exchange related or other contractual obligation.


ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURE

Trend Information
 
Other than the Company’s obligations under its property option agreements and the Minera Juanicipio joint venture (see “Contractual Obligations” above), there are no demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in, or that are reasonably likely to result in, the Company's liquidity either increasing or decreasing at present or in the foreseeable future.  The nature of the Company’s business is demanding of capital for property acquisition costs, exploration commitments and holding costs. The Company’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 properties may have a favourable effect on the Company’s liquidity, and conversely, the failure to acquire or find one may have a negative effect. The Company will require sufficient capital in the future to meet its acquisition payments and other obligations under property option agreements for those properties it considers worthy to incur continued holding and exploration costs upon (see Liquidity and Capital Resources above).


RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

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, including the risk factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Annual Information Form (“AIF”) dated March 30, 2012 available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov.

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.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into transactions for the purchase of supplies and services denominated in Canadian dollars, US dollars or Mexican Pesos. The Company also has cash and certain liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars and Mexican Pesos.  As a result, the Company is subject to foreign exchange risk from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates (see Note 10(c) in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company as at September 30, 2012).

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.


Related Party Transactions

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”).  These companies have a common director with the Company, however, all transactions are incurred in the normal course of business, and are measured at the exchange amount which was the consideration established and agreed to by the noted parties, and represents a fair market value for services rendered.  A significant portion of the expenditures which are incurred on the Company’s behalf, are charged to Company on a “cost + 10%” basis typical of industry standards.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company accrued or paid Cascabel and IMDEX consulting, administration and travel fees totaling $79,858 and $242,760 respectively (September 30, 2011: $56,587 and $235,863 respectively) and exploration reimbursements and costs totaling $850,571 and $1,879,871 respectively (September 30, 2011: $645,501 and $1,898,445 respectively) under the Field Services Agreement. Included in trade and other payables at September 30, 2012 is $557,317 related to these services (September 30, 2011: $437,561).

The Company is obligated to a 2.5% net smelter returns royalty to Cascabel under the terms of an option agreement dated February 26, 2004, whereby the Company acquired a 100% interest in the Cinco de Mayo property from Cascabel.

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

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

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards(“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Management has identified (i) mineral property acquisition and exploration deferred costs (ii) provision for reclamation and closure, (iii) deferred income tax provision and (iv) share based payments as the main estimates for the following discussion. Please refer to Note 2 of the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company as at September 30, 2012 for a description of all of the significant accounting policies.

Under IFRS, the Company defers all costs relating to the acquisition and exploration of its mineral properties (“exploration and evaluation” assets). Any revenues received from such properties are credited against the costs of the property. 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 when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying values of its properties to assess their recoverability and when the carrying value of a property exceeds the estimated net recoverable amount, provision is made for impairment in value.  IFRS also allows 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 do 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.

Reclamation and closure costs have been estimated based on the Company’s interpretation of current regulatory requirements, however changes in regulatory requirements and new information may result in revisions to estimates. The Company recognizes 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 life of the asset.

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.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012

 
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 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, forfeiter rates, and expected lives of the options.


CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 are prepared under International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting, in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.  They do not include all of the information required for full annual IFRS financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The accounting policies set out in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 have been applied consistently to all periods presented herein, and with the exception of the change in presentation currency effective January 1, 2012, have not changed from the Company’s first interim IFRS condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and the Company’s accounting policies as disclosed in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011. The accounting policies have been applied consistently by the Company and its subsidiaries.

Functional currency and change in presentation currency

The functional currency of parent company, MAG, is the Canadian dollar (“C$”) and the functional currency of its Mexican subsidiaries and investment in associate is the United States dollar (“US$”). Each entity in the Company determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.

Effective January 1, 2012, the Company changed its presentation currency from the C$ to the US$. The change in presentation currency is to better reflect the Company’s business activities and to improve investors’ ability to compare the Company’s financial results with other publicly traded businesses in the mining industry.  In making this change to the US$ presentation currency, the Company followed the guidance in IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates and have applied the change retrospectively as if the new presentation currency had always been the Company’s presentation currency. In accordance with IAS 21, the financial statements for all years and periods presented have been translated to the new presentation currency as follows:

•  
All assets and liabilities have been translated from their functional currency into the new presentation currency using the closing current exchange rate at the date of each balance sheet;

•  
Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive loss presented have been retranslated at average exchange rates prevailing during each reporting period;

•  
Equity balances have been retrospectively translated at historical rates prevailing during the period incurred; and

•  
All resulting exchange differences have been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated as a separate component of equity (cumulative translation adjustment).


RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company has reviewed new accounting pronouncements that have been issued but are not yet effective. These include:

IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, retains current IAS 1 presentation standards, but requires disclosure of Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) items distinguishing between those that are recycled to profit and loss and those that are not recycled. Retrospective application is required, and the standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012, with early application permitted.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012

 
 
The Company will be required to adopt IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, which replaces the current standard, IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The new standard replaces the current classification and measurement criteria for financial assets and liabilities with only two classification categories: amortized cost and fair value, and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015, with early application permitted.

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements establishes principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated financial statements when an entity controls one or more other entities. This standard (i) requires a parent entity (an entity that controls one or more other entities) to present consolidated financial statements; (ii) defines the principle of control, and establishes control as the basis for consolidation; (iii) sets out how to apply the principle of control to identify whether an investor controls an investee and therefore must consolidate the investee; and (iv) sets out the accounting requirements for the preparation of consolidated financial statements.  IFRS 10 supersedes IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and SIC-12 Consolidation—Special Purpose Entities and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early application permitted.
 
 
IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements establishes the core principle that a party to a joint arrangement determines the type of joint arrangement in which it is involved by assessing its rights and obligations and accounts for those rights and obligations in accordance with that type of joint arrangement. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early application permitted.

IFRS 12 Disclosure of Involvement with Other Entities requires the disclosure of information that enables users of financial statements to evaluate the nature of, and risks associated with, its interests in other entities and the effects of those interests on its financial position, financial performance and cash flows. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early application permitted.

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement defines fair value, sets out in a single IFRS a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. IFRS 13 applies when another IFRS requires or permits fair value measurements or disclosures about fair value measurements (and measurements, such as fair value less costs to sell, based on fair value or disclosures about those measurements), except for: share-based payment transactions within the scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment; leasing transactions within the scope of IAS 17 Leases; measurements that have some similarities to fair value but that are not fair value, such as net realizable value in IAS 2 Inventories or value in use in IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early application permitted.

IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, as amended in May 2011, provides guidance on the accounting and disclosure requirements for subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities, and associates in separate, or unconsolidated, financial statements. It will have no impact on consolidated financial statements and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early application permitted.

IAS 28 Investments in Associates as amended in May 2011, provides detailed guidance on the application of the equity method to associates, subsidiaries and joint ventures (previously excluded from this standard),  and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early application permitted.

IFRS 10, 11, and 12 and IAS 27 and 28 must be adopted concurrently. The Company has not early adopted any of these standards and is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that these standards might have on its consolidated financial statements.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it is required to file or submit under applicable securities laws is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in the manner specified by such laws. The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have evaluated, or caused to be evaluated under their supervision, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures through inquiry, review, and testing, as well as by drawing upon their own relevant experience.  The Company retained an independent third party specialist in each of the past three years to assist in the assessment of its disclosure controls and procedures.  The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as at September 30, 2012. There were no material changes in the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures in the period ended September 30, 2012.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

MAG SILVER REPORTS THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

Vancouver, B.C. MAG Silver Corp. (TSX: MAG; NYSE MKT: MVG) (“MAG” or the “Company”) announces the Company’s unaudited financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.  For complete details of the third quarter unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis, please see the Company’s filings on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) or on EDGAR (www.sec.gov).  All amounts herein are reported in United States dollars unless otherwise specified.

As at September 30, 2012, the Company had working capital of $43,685,026, including cash on hand of $44,081,885.  On September 5, 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 net proceeds of $31,325,931.  The primary use of cash during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was for exploration and evaluation expenditures totaling $4,691,045 and $10,481,860 respectively, and an additional $824,936 and $3,203,074 respectively for the Juanicipio property. Accounts receivable at September 30, 2012 totaled $1,123,544 (2011: $2,218,162) and was comprised primarily of value added taxes repayable to the Company by the Government of Mexico. Current liabilities at September 30, 2012 amounted to $2,145,298 (2011: $2,069,740) and are attributable primarily to accrued exploration and legal expenses.

The Company’s net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 amounted to $3,609,463 and $6,167,196 respectively (September 30, 2011: $3,049,184 and $4,463,335 respectively).  The net loss increased in the current period due to additional costs incurred in the current quarter dealing and negotiating with a dissident group of MAG shareholders, Mining Investors for Shareholder Value ("MISV").  MISV and the Company ultimately reached a settlement agreement on September 4, 2012 whereby MAG presented a slate of nine directors for election to shareholders at the annual and special meeting, including two MISV nominees (Richard Clark and Peter Barnes), along with seven existing members of MAG's board.  Subsequent to the quarter end, the shareholders overwhelmingly elected all nine directors standing for election.

Minera Juanicipio

A National Instrument 43-101 compliant Updated Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Juanicipio Project carried out by AMC Mining Consultants (Canada) Ltd. (the "AMC Study") was announced on June 14, 2012 and filed on SEDAR on July 16, 2012, (see News Release dated June 14, 2012).  With the completion of the AMC Study, MAG and Fresnillo Plc. now have a framework on which the joint venture Technical Committee can 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 S.A. de C.V. (“Minera Juanicipio”) had approved an 18 month mine permitting and underground development budget of $25 million ($10.0 million for 2012 with the remaining $15 million earmarked for 2013).  The 2013 underground development plan includes the first 2,500 metres of ramp development and is projected to cost $11.9 million with another $2.3 million dedicated to further drilling, plus $1.2 million for reporting, general and other administrative expenses.  MAG’s 44% share of the 2013 predevelopment budget is $6.6 million. The Minera Juancipio 2013 exploration budget will be determined in the fourth quarter.
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
The Joint Venture has begun the permitting process and anticipates receipt of all necessary permits by early 2013, with the underground decline ground breaking expected to follow shortly thereafter.

Cinco de Mayo

Because of the expense of drilling at depths, MAG has currently contracted for the execution of an orientation 2 and 3 Dimensional Seismic survey to determine if the newly discovered Pegaso system can be better defined before further deep drilling is undertaken.  This work is scheduled to commence early in the first quarter of 2013.  Definition and exploration drilling will resume immediately thereafter pending completion of the seismic survey and permit renewal. Exploration drilling permits in Mexico now require a “Soil Use Change Permit,” reflecting conversion of land from agricultural to industrial use.  These permits incorporate surface access permissions, verification of mining concession title, and compliance with environmental norms.  The Company is in the process assembling the information required in order to submit the application, and final permit approval is expected in the first quarter of 2013.

On October 3, 2012, MAG announced that Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. (“RPA”) had completed the first independent mineral resource estimate for the Upper Manto (see News Release dated October 3, 2012).  The Company is currently negotiating the terms of reference for a PEA on the Upper Manto for completion in 2013.  In addition, metallurgical test work on the Pozo Seco zone has indicated that recoveries of both molybdenum and gold are sufficient to warrant a PEA, and MAG has engaged RPA and Samuel Engineering to carry out an independent PEA on Pozo Seco which will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2012.

This release includes certain statements that may be deemed to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements in this release, other than statements of historical facts are forward looking statements, including statements that address future mineral production, reserve potential, exploration drilling, exploitation activities and events or developments. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as "seek", "anticipate", "plan", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "may", "will", "project", "predict", "potential", "targeting", "intend", "could", "might", "should", "believe" and similar expressions. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. Although MAG believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, changes in commodities prices, changes in mineral production performance, exploitation and exploration successes, continued availability of capital and financing, and general economic, market or business conditions, political risk, currency risk and capital cost inflation. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to various risks, including that data is incomplete and considerable additional work will be required to complete further evaluation, including but not limited to drilling, engineering and socio-economic studies and investment. The reader is referred to the Company’s filings with the SEC and Canadian securities regulators for disclosure regarding these and other risk factors. There is no certainty that any forward looking statement will come to pass and investors should not place undue reliance upon forward-looking statements.

Cautionary Note to Investors Concerning Estimates of Indicated Resources

This press release uses the term "Indicated Resources".  MAG advises investors that although this term is recognized and required by Canadian regulations (under National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects), the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize this term. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in this category will ever be converted into reserves.

Cautionary Note to Investors Concerning Estimates of Inferred Resources

This press release uses the term "Inferred Resources". MAG advises investors that although this term is recognized and required by Canadian regulations (under National Instrument 43-101—Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects), the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize this term. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in this category will ever be converted into reserves. In addition, "Inferred 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 Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, or economic studies except for Preliminary Assessment as defined under Canadian National Instrument 43-101. Investors are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an Inferred Resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.
