VANCOUVER, British Columbia–– Pan American Silver Corp. (NYSE: PAAS) (TSX: PAAS) (“Pan American” or the “Company”) reports unaudited results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 (“Q3 2025”).
“Pan American generated record Attributable free cash flow of $251.7 million in the third quarter, resulting in a cash and short-term investments balance of $910.8 million plus an additional $85.8 million of cash at Juanicipio for the Company’s 44% interest,” said Michael Steinmann, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Given the strong cash flows the Company is generating, the Board has approved another increase to the dividend, raising it to $0.14 per common share with respect to Q3 2025.”
“We completed our acquisition of MAG Silver on September 4, and with only a one-month contribution from our 44% interest in the Juanicipio mine, we are already seeing its significant contribution to our Silver Segment operations and free cash flow generation. Consequently, we are raising our 2025 silver production guidance and lowering our estimated all-in sustaining costs for the Silver Segment to reflect Juanicipio’s contribution to the portfolio. We are maintaining the remainder of our 2025 operating outlook, which continues to call for back-end weighted gold production.”
Added Mr. Steinmann: “While we strengthened our asset base and growth opportunities through the MAG acquisition, we continue to advance our internal growth opportunities. At our La Colorada Skarn project, we are now exploring an exciting opportunity for a two-phase development plan, which has the potential to deliver a higher grade, lower tonnage and less capital intensive first phase of development than initially envisioned.”
The following highlights for Q3 2025 include certain measures that are not generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”) financial measures. Please refer to the section titled “Alternative Performance (Non-GAAP) Measures” at the end of this news release for further information on these measures.

PROJECT UPDATES
La Colorada Skarn Project
At the La Colorada mine, the discovery of multiple high-grade silver zones and the subsequent mineral resource and mineral reserve expansion (see the news releases dated September 8 and 11, 2025) provide the opportunity to integrate the mine plans and infrastructure of the vein mine and the Skarn project. The Company is now evaluating a potential two phase approach to the Skarn development. Phase I would involve a high grade, lower tonnage and less capital intensive first stage of sub-level stoping followed by a later expansion, Phase II, that would include the development of a larger-scale cave mine. The advantage of this two-phased approach is that the vein mine would run in parallel with both Skarn phases, thereby maximizing the overall value of the deposit. The Company anticipates that it will release an updated technical report in the second quarter of 2026 to include a preliminary economic assessment of the phased development approach for the Skarn project. In parallel, the Company continues to discuss a potential partnership for development of the project.
Escobal Mine
Following the July 29, 2025 meeting between the Guatemalan Ministry of Energy and Mines (“MEM”) and the Xinka Parliament (“XP”) to address concerns described in a May 2025 statement issued by the XP, the MEM has held several, separate working meetings with the ministries involved in the ILO 169 consultation process, representatives from the XP, and the Company. The MEM has also made several appointments of key personnel to oversee and continue activities for the Escobal consultation process. The MEM has not provided a timeline for the completion of the ILO 169 consultation and there is no date for the restart of the Escobal mine.
