VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MAG Silver Corp. (TSX / NYSE American: MAG) (“MAG”, “MAG Silver”, or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the publication of its second annual Sustainability Report, which underscores MAG’s fundamental commitment to transparency with its stakeholders while providing a comprehensive overview of the Company's environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) commitments, practices, and performance for the 2022 year.

Jim Mallory, MAG’s Chief Sustainability Officer, stated: “Our second annual Sustainability Report reflects our continued commitment to lasting and sustainable value to our people, stakeholders, communities, and the planet. I am very proud of the way our workforce approaches health, safety and wellness associated with our workplace and environment. Safety performance has improved over the last year at Juanicipio, and both Deer Trail and Larder have embraced a ‘step back and assess’ culture to understand and appropriately address any risks. These behaviours are at the core of our values and are critical to the success of our teams and our business. MAG Silver’s commitment to sustainability begins with leadership and is manifested through the tenacity of everyone in the Company.”

“On behalf of MAG Silver, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to all project team personnel at Fresnillo and Juanicipio, and at our Deer Trail and Larder projects for their kind assistance in the development of this report,” said George Paspalas, MAG’s President and CEO.
