VANCOUVER, Jan. 15, 2020 /CNW/ - Pan American Silver Corp. (NASDAQ: PAAS) (TSX: PAAS) ("Pan American") today announced preliminary production results for the fourth quarter ("Q4 2019") and full year 2019 ("FY 2019"). Pan American today also provided its guidance for production, costs and expenditures in 2020.
"2019 was a transformative year for Pan American and one of the most important in our 25-year history. We completed the Tahoe transaction and successfully integrated the new assets into our portfolio, capturing $25 to $30 million in annual G&A synergies. Pan American is now a much larger, stronger and more profitable company," said Michael Steinmann, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pan American. "Robust cash flow generation allowed us to repay a further $40 million to our line of credit in Q4 2019, continuing the rapid deleveraging of our balance sheet post closing of the Tahoe transaction. In addition, we advanced our skarn discovery at La Colorada and published an initial resource estimate of 72.5 million tonnes of polymetallic mineralization. In 2020, Pan American is well positioned for strong, low cost production. Combined with current metal prices, that should result in a rewarding year for our shareholders."
2019 Highlights:
Silver production of 25.9 million ounces was in line with the revised guidance(1) range of 25.3 million to 26.3 million ounces provided on August 7, 2019.
Gold production of 559.2 thousand ounces was in line with the revised guidance(1) range of 550 thousand to 600 thousand ounces provided on August 7, 2019.
Zinc, lead and copper production was 67.6, 27.3 and 8.7 thousand tonnes, respectively, compared with original guidance provided on January 21, 2019, of 65.0 - 67.0, 24.0 - 25.0 and 9.8 - 10.3 thousand tonnes, respectively.
The La Colorada mine achieved an average mining and processing rate of over 2,100 tonnes per day, exceeding the targeted rate of 2,000 tonnes per day for 2019 and resulting in record annual silver, zinc and lead production. Pan American continues to achieve greater than expected efficiencies from the mine expansion completed in 2017, which had a design throughput rate of 1,800 tonnes per day.
Pan American achieved several records in operating performance: annual open pit mining rates at Dolores; annual mining and processing rates at La Colorada, Huaron, and Morococha; annual zinc and lead plant recovery rates at Morococha, driving record annual zinc production at that mine; and, annual mining and processing rates at San Vicente, which largely offset an increase in operating costs per tonne due to the mining of narrower ore bodies than in previous years.
Pan American released an initial inferred mineral resource estimate for the La Colorada skarn deposit of 72.5 million tonnes, averaging 44 grams per tonne silver, 0.17% copper, 2.02% lead and 4.40% zinc, assuming a cut-off value of $60 per tonne after accounting for transportation, smelting and refining costs. Please refer to Pan American's news release dated December 11, 2019, for further details.
Pan American repaid $60 million of debt during 2019, including $40 million repaid in Q4 2019. As at December 31, 2019, Pan American had $275 million drawn under its revolving credit facility and $238.3 million in cash and short-term investments.
Hat jemand eine Ahnung wie das funktioniert mit diesen Scheinen? Werden die automatisch mitverkauft, sobald man sich von den eigentlichen Aktien trennt?
Scheint aber Indizien zu geben das Escoball ja bald wieder eröffnet wird.

Each CVR will be exchanged for 0.0497 of a Pan American share upon first commercial shipment of concentrate following restart of operations at the Escobal mine.

"In 2020, we are expecting silver and gold production growth of approximately 7% and 16%, respectively.

Bitte aber noch Gedult haben - die Corona Krise dauert noch länger !
Eine unvorteilhafte Ratio für Silber ist übrigens normal für den Beginn einer Edelmetall Hausse.
Und darauf kommt hier noch die Perspektive Escobal. Ich gucke hier schon gar nicht mehr so genau hin, ist mir schlicht egal, ob das gerade mal 25% rauf oder runter geht...…………..
Das Tahoe-Desaster ist in der Zwischenzeit schon mehr als aufgeholt bei mir.
Bei Google findet man ja auch kaum was...
