Pan American Silver increases silver mineral reserves to 286 million ounces
“In 2016 we added 38.1 million ounces of new silver mineral reserves, more than replacing the 32.4 million ounces depleted through mining,” said Christopher Emerson, Pan American’s Vice President Business Development and Geology. “We increased our exploration budget mid-year, investing a total of $14 million during 2016, and completed 136,000 metres of drilling on mine and near-site exploration, as well as 7,000 metres on regional projects.”
