Pan American Silver Mineral Reserves Increase to 288 Million Ounces
“Our geology teams achieved another year of successful reserve replacement and resource additions, as exemplified by the newly discovered mineral reserves at our Morococha and Huaron mines in 2017,” said Christopher Emerson, Pan American’s Vice President Business Development and Geology. “We added about 33 million ounces of new silver mineral reserves in 2017, more than replacing ounces depleted through mining. The silver grade of the mineral reserves increased by 13% to 94 grams per tonne, in part reflecting the additions of the new high-grade properties in Argentina.”
