Project Controls Manager

About Jerritt Canyon

The Jerritt Canyon deposit was discovered in 1972, and the first gold production from the

property occurred in 1981. The Jerritt Canyon property contains 30,821 hectares of mining

claims located in the mining-friendly state of Nevada. First Majestic acquired the Jerritt Canyon

Gold Mine from Sprott Mining Inc. on April 30, 2021. In May 2023, operations were suspended

to prioritize exploration and technical studies. Jerritt Canyon is now entering a new phase of

evaluation and planning, requiring substantial technical support to advance the work necessary

for a potential future restart of operations.
