Pan American Silver Provides an Update on the Restart of Operations at the La Colorada Mine
11 Octubre 2023 - 4:20PM
Business Wire
Pan American Silver Corp. (NYSE: PAAS) (TSX: PAAS) ("Pan
American") today announced that it will commence restarting
operations at its La Colorada mine in Mexico on October 16, 2023,
following a shift change and the transition from care and
maintenance activities. On October 5, 2023, Pan American announced
the temporary suspension of operating activities due to security
concerns at the mine site and the surrounding area following an
armed robbery of two trailers of concentrate from the operation.
There were no physical injuries to our personnel in connection with
that incident.
Pan American acknowledges and appreciates the rapid response and
efforts of the Zacatecas state government and federal authorities
in Mexico to improve security in the vicinity of the La Colorada
mine and to provide an environment that allows for mine operations
to resume. The Mexican authorities have taken steps to facilitate
the safe transit to and from the mine site for all the employees,
contractors and people from the nearby communities. Pan American
and the Mexican authorities will maintain direct communications
during the period leading up to the resumption of operations.
Pan American does not expect the temporary suspension of La
Colorada to have a material impact to its annual consolidated
production and cost guidance for 2023, nor to the targeted timing
of late 2023 for the release of the La Colorada Skarn preliminary
economic assessment.

These forward-looking statements and information reflect Pan
American’s current views with respect to future events and are

including anticipated sustaining, project, and exploration
expenditures; ore grades and recoveries; capital, decommissioning
and reclamation estimates; our mineral reserve and mineral resource
estimates and the assumptions upon which they are based; prices for
energy inputs, labour, materials, supplies and services (including
transportation); and whether Pan American is able to maintain a
strong financial condition and have sufficient capital, or have
access to capital through our corporate sustainability-linked
credit facility or otherwise, to sustain our business and
operations; and our ability to comply with environmental, health
and safety laws. The foregoing list of assumptions is not
exhaustive.
