SUMMARY OF EXPLORATION RESULTS
Jacobina mine, Brazil
The Jacobina mine is an underground paleo placer gold mine
located in the state of Bahia in northeastern Brazil. The mine has
a strong track record of mineral reserve and mineral resource
replacement and growth. The mine complex and resources extend over
eight kilometres with exploration targets extending over a 14
kilometre trend of conglomerate reefs hosting gold mineralization,
many of which remain open to depth and along strike.
- Brownfield exploration drilling totaled 35,583m, primarily
targeting the João Belo Sul, Morro do Vento, Maricota, Serra do
Corrego, and João Belo Norte zones. Exploratory drilling focused on
evaluating new near-mine targets down-dip and north of Maricota.
The recent exploration results continue to highlight the
significant potential for expanding mineral reserves and mineral
resources at Jacobina.
- Infill drilling at João Belo Sul confirmed gold mineralization
continuity, particularly in higher-grade zones proximal to existing
underground infrastructure at João Belo Norte mine. Notable
intercepts include: 3.26m @ 8.21 g/t Au (JBS00093); 2.07m @ 5.55
g/t Au and 5.70m @ 4.63 g/t Au (JBS00094).

General Notes with Respect to Technical Information
Grades are shown as contained metal before mill recoveries are
applied. The Company has undertaken a verification process with
respect to the data disclosed in this news release.
Samples are analyzed at a variety of laboratories, including by
in-house staff at the mine (Jacobina and La Colorada), mine
laboratories operated by third party independent commercial labs
(Huaron), and commercial laboratories off-site (La Colorada, El
Peñon, Minera Florida, Whitney and Jacobina). All the assay data
reported in this news release has been subjected to the industry
standard quality assurance and quality control ("QA/QC") program
including the submission of certified standards, blanks, and
duplicate samples. The results are reviewed on a monthly and
quarterly basis by management. In general, the assay analytical
technique for silver, lead, zinc and copper is acid digestion with
either ICP or atomic absorption finish. The analytical technique
for gold uses fire assay and atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS)
finish. A gravimetric finish would be used if the gold assay
exceeds > 10 g/t (or >5 g/t at El Peñon). The results of the
QA/QC samples submitted for the resource databases demonstrate
acceptable accuracy and precision. The offsite commercial
laboratories are independent from Pan American and certified by ISO
17025:2017.
The Qualified Persons are of the opinion that the sample
preparation, analytical, and security procedures followed for the
samples are sufficient and reliable for the purpose of this news
release and for the purpose of any future mineral resource and
mineral reserve estimates. There were no limitations on the
Qualified Persons' verification process. Pan American is not aware
of any drilling, sampling, recovery or other factors that could
materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data reported
herein.
Mineral resources and mineral reserves are as defined by the
Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum.
See the Company’s Annual Information Form dated March 26, 2024,
available at www.sedarplus.com, or the Company’s most recent Form
40-F filed with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") for further information on the Company’s
material mineral properties, including detailed information
concerning associated QA/QC and data verification matters, the key
assumptions, parameters and methods used by the Company to estimate
mineral reserves and mineral resources, and for a detailed
description of known legal, political, environmental, and other
risks that could materially affect the Company’s business and the
potential development of the Company’s mineral reserves and mineral
resources.
Technical information contained in this news release with
respect to Pan American has been reviewed and approved by
Christopher Emerson, FAusIMM, Vice President Exploration and
Geology, and Martin Wafforn, P.Eng., Senior Vice President
Technical Services and Process Optimization, each of whom is a
Qualified Person for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 -
Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (‘‘NI 43-101’’). Pan
American is authorized by The Association of Professional Engineers
and Geoscientists of the Province of British Columbia to engage in
Reserved Practice under Permit to Practice number 1001470.
Cautionary Note to US Investors
This news release has been prepared in accordance with the
requirements of Canadian NI 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of
Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Definition Standards, which differ
from the requirements of U.S. securities laws. NI 43-101 is a rule
developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that
establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of
scientific and technical information concerning mineral
projects.
Canadian public disclosure standards, including NI 43-101,
differ significantly from the requirements of the SEC, and
information concerning mineralization, deposits, mineral reserve
and mineral resource information contained or referred to herein
may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S.
companies. The requirements of NI 43-101 for identification of
“reserves” are not the same as those of the SEC and may not qualify
as “reserves” under SEC standards. Under U.S. standards,
mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the
determination has been made that the mineralization could be
economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the
reserve determination is made. U.S. investors should also
understand that “inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of
uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their
economic and legal feasibility. Under Canadian securities laws,
estimated “inferred mineral resources” may not form the basis of
feasibility or pre-feasibility studies except in rare cases.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and
Information
Certain of the statements and information in this news release
constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and
"forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable
Canadian provincial securities laws. All statements, other than
statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements or
information. Forward-looking statements or information in this news
release relate to, among other things: the extent of, and success
related to any future exploration or development programs,
including with respect to its Jacobina, El Peñon, La Colorada,
Minera Florida, Huaron and Timmins properties and for its La
Colorada Skarn and Whitney projects, and the potential impact of
any such drill results on the Company’s mineral reserves or mineral
resources.
These forward-looking statements and information reflect Pan
American’s current views with respect to future events and are
necessarily based upon a number of assumptions that, while
considered reasonable by Pan American, are inherently subject to
significant operational, business, economic and regulatory
uncertainties and contingencies. These assumptions include: tonnage
of ore to be mined and processed; ore grades and recoveries; prices
for silver, gold and base metals remaining as estimated; currency
exchange rates remaining as estimated; capital, decommissioning and
reclamation estimates; our mineral reserve and resource estimates
and the assumptions upon which they are based; prices for energy
inputs, labour, materials, supplies and services (including
transportation); no labour-related disruptions at any of our
operations; no unplanned delays or interruptions in scheduled
production; all necessary permits, licenses and regulatory
approvals for our operations are received in a timely manner; our
ability to secure and maintain title and ownership to properties
and the surface rights necessary for our operations; and our
ability to comply with environmental, health and safety laws. The
foregoing list of assumptions is not exhaustive.
Pan American cautions the reader that forward-looking statements
and information involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors that may cause actual results and developments to
differ materially from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements or information contained in this news
release and Pan American has made assumptions and estimates based
on or related to many of these factors. Such factors include,
without limitation: fluctuations in silver, gold and base metal
prices; fluctuations in prices for energy inputs, labour,
materials, supplies and services (including transportation);
fluctuations in currency markets (such as the PEN, MXN, ARS, BOB,
GTQ, CAD, CLP, and BRL versus the USD); operational risks and
hazards inherent with the business of mining (including
environmental accidents and hazards, industrial accidents,
equipment breakdown, unusual or unexpected geological or structural
formations, cave-ins, flooding and severe weather); risks relating
to the credit worthiness or financial condition of suppliers,
refiners and other parties with whom Pan American does business;
inadequate insurance, or inability to obtain insurance, to cover
these risks and hazards; employee relations; relationships with,
and claims by, local communities and indigenous populations; our
ability to obtain all necessary permits, licenses and regulatory
approvals in a timely manner; changes in laws, regulations and
government practices in the jurisdictions where we operate,
including environmental, export and import laws and regulations;
changes in national and local government, legislation, taxation,
controls or regulations and political, legal or economic
developments, including legal restrictions relating to mining,
risks relating to expropriation, and risks relating to the
constitutional court-mandated ILO 169 consultation process in
Guatemala; diminishing quantities or grades of mineral reserves as
properties are mined; increased competition in the mining industry
for equipment and qualified personnel; the duration and effects any
pandemics on our operations and workforce; and those factors
identified under the caption “Risks Related to Pan American’s
Business” in Pan American’s most recent form 40-F and Annual
Information Form filed with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission and Canadian provincial securities regulatory
authorities, respectively. Although Pan American has attempted to
identify important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results
not to be as anticipated, estimated, described or intended.
Investors are cautioned against undue reliance on forward-looking
statements or information. Forward-looking statements and
information are designed to help readers understand management’s
current views of our near and longer term prospects and may not be
appropriate for other purposes. Pan American does not intend, nor
does it assume any obligation to update or revise forward-looking
statements or information, whether as a result of new information,
changes in assumptions, future events or otherwise, except to the
extent required by applicable law.
