GARP Research maintains a 'Buy' on First Majestic Silver (NYSE: AG) price target of $16.00.

Analyat, Seth Dadds, said, "First Majestic is acquiring junior silver producer Silvermex in a stock deal valued at roughly $150m. Although Silvermex’s flagship mine La Guitarra has operational issues, we view it as an intriguing asset which can benefit from First Majestic’s scale and expertise. We like the long-term potential offered by its sizable high-grade silver resource and large under-explored land package. We think Silvermex could deliver 1.8 million ounces of silver in 2014, lifting First Majestic’s total output above 15 million ounces (up 120% from 2011)."
