Key Takeaways
PAAS identified new mineral resources at Bell Creek and satellite deposits through exploration.
Pan American Silver approved phase one of the Timmins Camp Project with a $146M investment.
PAAS plans 118,000 meters of drilling in 2026 and a resource update in Q3'26.
Pan American Silver Corp. (PAAS - Free Report) announced that it identified mineral resources at the Bell Creek mine and satellite deposits as a result of a comprehensive exploration program at its Timmins operation in Ontario.
PAAS is currently proceeding with a conceptual plan for a phased development of these new mineral resources. This initiative aims to boost production growth and extension of mine life at Timmins. With significant processing capacity and infrastructure already in place, these projects position Timmins for growth.
Details of PAAS’s Timmins Operations
Pan American Silver has commenced the first phase of the Timmins Camp Project following the board approval and a total investment of $146 million. This phase includes a 625-meter shaft extension project at the Bell Creek mine, an 814-meter drift to access the Vogel deposit and a 1.3-kilometer exploration drift to access the Samson deposit.
The company’s current Timmins operations consist of the Timmins West and Bell Creek underground gold mines. These mines supply ore to the Bell Creek processing plant, which employs a design capacity of 5,600 tons per day and a current throughput of 4,400 tons per day. By advancing the Timmins Camp Project, Pan American Silver intends to boost infrastructure utilization to drive sustained production from the Timmins operations.
The company maintains its expectation that the initial first-phase project capital at Timmins will be $40-$43 million for 2026. The company plans to drill 118,000 meters at Timmins in 2026.
PAAS’s exploration drilling efforts at Bell Creek have already yielded strong mineralization continuity down to the 2,600-meter level. The company anticipates providing an updated estimate of mineral reserves and resources for Timmins, Vogel and Gold River in the third quarter of 2026.
