First Majestic Silver Corp targets Jerritt Canyon restart in H2 2027; updated techhnical reports planned for late 2026/early 2027; with additional project updates over the next five months Poland issues alert saying Polish aviation has been activated due to Russian air attacks on Ukraine Iranian Foreign Minister Aragchi's New York stay has not been extended, Irib reports Mine restarts of this kind are a recurring feature of precious metals producers with assets acquired on care and maintenance, and the pattern is well established: the economics hinge on the operator's confidence that prevailing metal prices can absorb the capital cost of rehabilitation plus ongoing opex at grades that justify a restart rather than continued mothballing. The sequence the market has learned to watch is the technical report refresh, since updated resource and reserve statements, mine plans, and cost estimates are what convert a stated target date into a financeable project; slippage between target and the report's assumptions is the usual tell. First Majestic's form here is that of a primary silver producer that has historically bolted on distressed or underexploited assets and taken a view on the silver price, so the restart decision reads as both an operational call and a leveraged expression of that view. The near-term milestones are the updated technical reports and the project updates flagged over coming months, where capex guidance, expected restart costs, and permitting status for a Nevada asset will matter more than the headline date. As a single-asset operational update rather than a transaction, the read-through to the name's production profile and unit costs comes through the report details, not the announcement itself.
