Pan American Silver was founded in 1994 with the intention to provide investors with the best vehicle to gain real exposure to higher silver prices. Today, after 15 years of consecutive production and financial growth, Pan American owns and operates seven silver mines in Peru, Mexico, Argentina and Bolivia. The Company also owns the Navidad silver deposit, one of the largest undeveloped silver deposits in the world and is the operator of the La Preciosa silver project, which is a joint-venture.
Pan American's mission is to be the largest low-cost primary silver mining company, and to achieve this by constantly increasing silver production and silver reserves. Our growth strategy is based on the continued increase of low-cost silver production through the efficient operation and expansion of our existing mines, an aggressive exploration program and the acquisition and development of new silver-rich deposits.
The Company has a recognized team of industry-leading professionals with a wealth of experience in exploration, construction, operations and finance.
