Pan American Silver Closes Sale of Pico Machay Project to Xali Gold
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Pan American Silver sold its Pico Machay project in Peru to Xali Gold after closing the Calipuy share sale.
PAAS received $500,000 in cash under the agreement tied to the sale of Minera Calipuy S.A.C.
PAAS sold La Pepa and La Arena, and completed the MAG Silver acquisition to optimize its portfolio.
Pan American Silver Corp. (PAAS - Free Report) completed its interest in Minera Calipuy S.A.C.,which owns the Pico Machay project, to Xali Gold Corp. Pan American Silver and Xali Gold previously inked a share purchase agreement on Oct. 23, 2025.
Details of Pan American Silver’s Pico Machay Project
Located in Peru, Pico Machay is an advanced exploration-stage gold project with a high-sulphidation gold deposit. It has a near-term production goal and will offer immediate value and substantial upside to Xali Gold.
The historic resource estimate of the gold project includes 264,600 ounces of gold in Measured and Indicated, and an additional 446,000 ounces in the Inferred category. Under the agreement, Pan American received a cash payment of $500,000 for the sale of Calipuy shares.
PAAS’s Focus on Portfolio Optimization
The company has been focusing on optimizing its portfolio. Pan American Silver disposed of its 80% ownership in the La Pepa project in the third quarter of 2025 for $40 million. On Dec. 2, 2024, the company disposed of its fully owned interest in La Arena for $306.6 million in cash proceeds.
In early September, PAAS completed its previously stated acquisition of MAG Silver Corp. This move boosts Pan American Silver’s position as one of the leading silver producers globally and significantly strengthens the company’s industry-leading silver reserve base.
Pan American Silver gained a 44% stake in the Juanicipio project, which is a large-scale, high-grade silver mine in Zacatecas operated by Fresnillo plc. With just a month of contribution from its stake in the Juanicipio mine, Pan American Silver saw a strong impact on its silver segment performance and cash flow in the third quarter of 2025.
The transaction also adds the full ownership of the Larder exploration project and a full earn-in interest in the Deer Trail exploration project to PAAS’s portfolio. The addition of these assets will contribute significantly to Pan American Silver’s production, reserves and cash flow.
Pan American Silver Stock’s Price Performance
In the past year, PAAS shares have skyrocketed 162.5% compared with the industry's 201.6% upsurge.
