On March 20, 2023, First Majestic issued a press release announcing that "it is taking action to reduce overall costs by reducing investments, temporarily suspending all mining activities and reducing its workforce at [the Company's] Jerritt Canyon [Gold Mine] effective immediately." The press release stated that despite the Company's efforts to "increas[e] underground mining rates in order to sustainably feed the processing plant at a minimum of 3,000 tpd in order to generate free cash flow", "mining rates have remained below this threshold and cash costs per ounce have remained higher than anticipated primarily due to ongoing challenges such as contractor inefficiencies and high costs, inflationary cost pressures, lower than expected head grades and multiple extreme weather events affecting northern Nevada, which have compounded conditions and caused material headwinds for the operation." 

On this news, First Majestic's stock price fell $1.68 per share, or 22.58%, to close at $5.76 per share on March 21, 2023.
