What Yamana Gold does

Pan American Silver Corp. is a publicly traded precious metals mining company (NYSE/TSX: PAAS) founded in 1994 and headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia. The company operates a diversified portfolio of mining and exploration assets located across the Americas — including Mexico, Peru, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, and Canada — and produces silver, gold, zinc, lead, and copper. Its asset base is organized into two reporting segments: a Silver Segment (Juanicipio, La Colorada, Cerro Moro, Huaron, San Vicente, Escobal, La Colorada Skarn, Navidad) and a Gold Segment (Jacobina, El Peñon, Timmins, Shahuindo, Minera Florida, Dolores).

The company generates revenue through the extraction and sale of metals to downstream processors, refineries, and commodity traders via established global commodity market channels, with realized prices determined by spot markets for silver, gold, zinc, lead, and copper. The company also participates in joint venture arrangements — most notably a 44% interest in the Juanicipio mine in Mexico. On September 4, 2025, Pan American Silver completed the acquisition of MAG Silver Corp., adding the 44% Juanicipio joint venture interest, 100% ownership of the Larder exploration project, and an option to earn 100% interest in the Deer Trail exploration project.

The go-to-market motion is primarily an investor-relations-driven model: financial reporting, shareholder communications, sustainability reporting, and stock exchange listings (NYSE and TSX) are the principal touchpoints with capital markets participants, while physical metal output is sold into commodity markets. Customer-facing interactions are channeled to industrial metal buyers and refiners, while engagement with local communities and Indigenous Peoples, plus Peruvian government public infrastructure programs, form the operational/sustainability backbone.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Newmont Corporation: Newmont is the world's largest gold mining company with operations across the Americas, Africa, and Australia. Although primarily gold-focused and far larger than Pan American, it is a major comparable in the Americas precious-metals mining space and overlaps in geographies such as Mexico, Peru, and Canada.
• Kinross Gold: Kinross Gold is a mid-tier gold miner with operating mines across the Americas (U.S., Brazil, Chile, Canada) and West Africa. Its Americas portfolio and gold-primary business model make it a relevant comparable in the precious-metals-miner investor universe.
• Agnico Eagle Mines: Agnico Eagle is a senior gold and silver producer with a strong Americas footprint (Canada, Mexico, Finland), making it a comparable Americas-based diversified precious-metals miner. It competes for capital in the same investor base seeking precious-metals exposure.
• Barrick Gold: Barrick Gold is one of the largest gold and copper miners globally, with operations across the Americas (including the Americas region where Pan American operates). Although primarily a gold-major, it competes for capital and represents the broader incumbent peer set.

Direct peers

• Endeavour Silver: Endeavour Silver is a mid-tier silver and gold producer operating three producing mines in Mexico, with a similar Americas-focused, silver-led business model. It competes directly with Pan American for investors seeking leveraged silver exposure.
• Coeur Mining: Coeur Mining is a precious metals miner producing silver and gold across the Americas (Mexico, U.S., Canada) with a comparable multi-mine, Americas-focused operating footprint. Both companies emphasize silver exposure alongside gold production.
• First Majestic Silver: First Majestic Silver is a publicly traded silver and gold producer with multiple operating mines in Mexico and the Americas, making it one of the most direct comparables to Pan American's silver-focused portfolio. Both companies pursue a silver-price-investment thesis and operate in overlapping Latin American jurisdictions.
• Hecla Mining Company: Hecla Mining is one of the largest silver producers in North America, operating mines in the U.S. (Greens Creek, Lucky Friday) and Mexico (San Sebastian), with a similar dual silver-gold business model and investor base tied to silver price exposure.

Emerging players

• SilverCrest Metals: SilverCrest Metals is an emerging precious-metals producer focused on high-grade silver-gold projects in Mexico (Las Chispas). Although smaller and earlier-stage than Pan American, it overlaps in the silver-focused, Americas-region precious-metals space.

Others

• Yamana Gold: Yamana Gold was a Canadian precious-metals miner with a portfolio of gold and silver mines across the Americas (Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Chile). It was acquired by Pan American Silver and other parties in 2022-2023; as a former direct competitor and combined-entity predecessor, it remains a relevant historical/structural comparable.
