Pan American Silver Reports Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources as at June 30, 2025

11.09.2025  |  Business Wire

Pan American Silver Corp. (NYSE: PAAS) (TSX: PAAS) ("Pan American" or the "Company") is pleased to report its estimated mineral reserves and mineral resources as at June 30, 2025. Proven and probable ("P&P") mineral reserves are estimated to contain approximately 452.3 million ounces of silver and 6.3 million ounces of gold. Measured and indicated ("M&I") mineral resources (excluding P&P mineral reserves) are estimated to total approximately 1,130.6 million ounces of silver and 9.9 million ounces of gold. Inferred mineral resources are estimated to total approximately 405.6 million ounces of silver and 8.6 million ounces of gold.

"Our exploration program at La Colorada has enabled us to more than replace production at that mine as well as add 52.7 million ounces of silver in the inferred mineral resource category, mostly in the newly discovered high-grade silver zones reported in the news release dated September 8, 2025," said Christopher Emerson, Pan American's Senior Vice President of Exploration and Geology. "Exploration success across our portfolio continues to extend the life of many of our operations."

This news release does not report on, nor include, the estimated mineral reserves and mineral resources resulting from Pan American's acquisition of MAG Silver Corp. ("MAG"). Pan American completed the acquisition of MAG on September 4, 2025, which added a 44% joint venture interest in the large-scale, high-grade Juanicipio silver mine in Zacatecas, Mexico, operated by Fresnillo plc, along with MAG's interests in the Deer Trail and Larder exploration projects (collectively, the "MAG Properties"). For information regarding the MAG Properties, please see MAG's Annual Information Form dated March 24, 2025, available under MAG's profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

Mineral reserve and mineral resource highlights for the 12-months ended June 30, 2025:

• At La Colorada, the eastward extension of the veins and addition of contact-type mineralization in the Manto Sur zone described in a news release dated September 8, 2025, contributed to an estimated 52.7 million ounce increase in silver inferred mineral resources.

• At Timmins, exploration focused on the Timmins West mine (Timmins mine, 144 Gap and Samson zones) and drilling at depth at the Bell Creek mine added an estimated 105.4 thousand ounces of gold M&I mineral resources and 163.8 thousand ounces of gold inferred mineral resources.

• At Jacobina, the majority of mine production was replaced through successful exploration and infill drilling, with the initial reporting of new mineral reserves for the Maricota zone.

• At El Peñon, essentially 100% of the silver production and 78% of the gold production was replaced. Exploration success was realized in the Pampa Campamento Norte and Chiquilla Chica zones.

• Consolidated M&I silver mineral resources have not changed significantly from an estimated 1,148.0 million ounces as at June 30, 2024 to an estimated 1,130.6 million ounces as at June 30, 2025, excluding M&I resources acquired through the acquisition of MAG.

• Consolidated M&I gold mineral resources decreased from an estimated 15.5 million ounces to an estimated 9.9 million ounces, largely driven by the sale of the La Arena mine and the Joaquin property.

• The divestment of the La Arena mine led to a reduction of 241.5 thousand ounces of gold mineral reserves, 17.6 thousand ounces of gold M&I mineral resources, and 39.6 thousand ounces of gold inferred mineral resources. The associated divestment of the La Arena II project resulted in a reduction of 5.3 million ounces of gold M&I mineral resources and 445.2 thousand ounces of gold inferred mineral resources.

MINERAL RESERVES AND MINERAL RESOURCES TABLES

General Notes with Respect to Technical Information

All mineral reserves and mineral resources have been estimated in accordance with the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the "CIM Standards") and reported in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). Mineral resources are reported exclusives of mineral reserves.

Pan American does not expect these mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates to be materially affected by metallurgical, environmental, permitting, legal, taxation, socio-economic, political, and marketing or other relevant issues.

The Company has undertaken a verification process with respect to the data disclosed in this news release. The mineral resources and mineral reserves databases comprising drilling and, in some cases, surface and underground sampling, have been compiled at each of the Pan American mine sites by the qualified staff. All the assay data used in the resource evaluation provided by each of the mines has been subjected to the industry standard quality assurance and quality control ("QA/QC") program including the submission of certified standards, blanks, and duplicate samples. The results are reviewed monthly by management. The results of the QA/QC samples submitted for the resource databases demonstrate acceptable accuracy and precision. The Qualified Person is of the opinion that the sample preparation, analytical, and security procedures followed for the samples are sufficient and reliable for the purpose of these mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates. Pan American is not aware of any drilling, sampling, recovery or other factors that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data reported herein.

Quantities and grades of contained metal are shown before metallurgical recoveries.

For further information on the Company's pre-MAG transaction material mineral properties, including detailed information concerning associated QA/QC and data verification matters, the key assumptions, parameters and methods used by the Company to estimate mineral reserves and mineral resources, and for a detailed description of known legal, political, environmental, and other risks that could materially affect the Company's business and the potential development of the Company's mineral reserves and mineral resources, see the Company's Annual Information Form dated February 19, 2025, available on the Company's profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

Technical information contained in this news release with respect to Pan American has been reviewed and approved by Christopher Emerson, FAusIMM., Senior Vice President of Exploration and Geology, Christopher Wright P.Geo.

Cautionary Note to US Investors Regarding References to Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources

Unless otherwise indicated, all reserve and resource estimates included in this news release have been prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and the CIM Standards. NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. Canadian standards, including NI 43-101, differ significantly from the mineral property disclosure requirements of the SEC (the "U.S. Rules"), and reserve and resource information included herein may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S. companies. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this news release uses the terms "measured resources," "indicated resources" and "inferred resources" as defined in accordance with NI 43-101 and the CIM Standards. Mineralization described using these terms has a greater amount of uncertainty as to its existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves. Accordingly, U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources, or inferred mineral resources that the Company reports are or will be economically or legally mineable. Further, "inferred mineral resources" have a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Under Canadian securities laws, estimates of "inferred mineral resources" may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. While the above terms under the U.S. Rules are "substantially similar" to the standards under NI 43-101 and CIM Standards, there are differences in the definitions under the U.S. Rules and CIM Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral reserves or mineral resources that the Company may report as "proven mineral reserves", "probable mineral reserves", "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources" under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the reserve or resource estimates under the standards adopted under the U.S. Rules.
