About Pan American Silver Corp. and Yamana Gold Inc.
Pan American is principally engaged in the operation and development of, and exploration for, silver and gold producing
properties and assets. Pan American’s principal products are silver and gold, although it also produces and sells zinc, lead, and
copper. As at December 31, 2022, Pan American operated mines and developed mining projects in Mexico, Peru, Canada,
Argentina and Bolivia, and had control over non-producing silver assets in each of those jurisdictions, in addition to Guatemala
and the United States.
Yamana was a leading Canadian-based precious metals producer with significant gold and silver production, development
stage properties, exploration properties, and land positions throughout the Americas, including Canada, Brazil, Chile and
Argentina. Effective March 31, 2023, Pan American, Yamana and Agnico Eagle Mines Limited completed a court-approved
statutory plan of arrangement under the Canada Business Corporation Act (the “Arrangement”), pursuant to which, following
the acquisition of Yamana’s Canadian assets by Agnico Eagle Mines Limited, Pan American acquired all of the issued and
outstanding common shares of Yamana and Yamana became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pan American.
The completion of the Arrangement resulted in a transformational growth in scale for Pan American, adding Yamana’s four
producing mines from Latin America – the Jacobina mining complex in Brazil, the El Peñón and Minera Florida mines in Chile,
and the Cerro Moro mine in Argentina – plus two development projects in Argentina, to Pan American’s existing portfolio of
eight producing mines and other non-operating and development projects in the Americas. Pan American has been operating
in the Americas for nearly three decades, earning an industry-leading reputation for sustainability performance, operational
excellence and prudent financial management. Pan American is headquartered in Vancouver, B.C. and its shares trade on the
New York Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “PAAS”. Learn more at panamericansilver.com.
