First Majestic agreed to sell its San Martin Silver Mine to Flextronics for US$90 million, with US$2.5 million upfront and US$87.5 million in future payments. The deal is subject to closing conditions, including Mexican antitrust approval, with a planned close in Q4 2026. The sale removes a non-core asset and could bolster liquidity to fund strategic priorities, contingent on regulatory clearance.
