MAG Silver Corp. (TSX / NYSE American: MAG)
(“MAG”, or the “
Company”) announces the
planned retirement of Co-Founder and Chief Exploration Officer
(“
CXO”), Dr. Peter Megaw, effective May 21, 2024.
Peter has been an integral part of MAG Silver’s success, applying
over 45 years of relevant experience to our silver and gold
exploration efforts, with the past ten years dedicated to serving
as MAG’s CXO.
Peter’s retirement marks the culmination of over
20 years of dedicated service to MAG. Under his leadership,
Juanicipio, one of the world’s leading silver deposits, was
discovered, financed, developed and is now in operation. Beyond the
discovery of Juanicipio, as Co-Founder, Peter played an integral
role in the development of the Company including its IPO, seven
years of service on the Board, its acquisition of strategic
exploration properties in prolific jurisdictions and its growth
into the substantial silver producer it is today. Peter will
continue as a consultant to the Company following his retirement
from executive duties at MAG.
"On behalf of MAG, I would like to extend
heartfelt thanks to Peter for his tireless efforts and leadership,”
said George Paspalas, President and CEO of MAG. “While he is
retiring from executive duties, we will continue to benefit from
his wisdom and expertise in his ongoing consulting role. Peter’s
vision as a founder, passion for geology, commitment to excellence,
and dedication to our projects have left an indelible mark on MAG
Silver."
In his new role as a consultant, Peter will
provide strategic guidance and insight to MAG's management team,
drawing upon his extensive experience in Juanicipio’s geology as
well as advancing the hub-and-spoke thesis at the Deer Trail
property in Utah.
"It has been a privilege to have had a hand in
MAG’s remarkable journey over the last two decades and a great
honor to collaborate with a brilliant group of colleagues over that
time. Working with Dan MacInnis and George Paspalas, CEOs who
really get exploration, has made all the difference for me…and
MAG," said Peter Megaw, outgoing CXO of MAG. "As I segue into a
more relaxed lifestyle of writing, family and mineralogy, I look
forward to continuing to contribute to MAG’s ongoing success by
supporting her exploration team as they advance the enviable
portfolio of assets we’ve assembled. MAG has a bright future and I
am excited to remain involved in shaping her trajectory."
