PAAS’s silver production increased 4% year over year in the first nine months of 2025 to 15.6 million ounces. This upbeat performance has set an optimistic tone for the fourth quarter.
In early September, PAAS completed its previously stated acquisition of MAG Silver Corp. 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. PAAS’s production outlook for the Juanicipio mine is at 14.7-16.7 million ounces of silver for 2025.

The results will also benefit from higher output at La Colorada mine due to a significant improvement in ventilation conditions.
