Commenting on last year’s exploration results, Christopher Emerson, Vice President Business Development and Geology, said, “In 2015, even with tough market conditions, Pan American still made important investments in exploration, spending $10.9 million to complete 105,000 metres of diamond drilling around our operations. This investment in drilling and related exploration activities helped us to add 22.5 million ounces of new silver mineral reserves. However, our additions from exploration were not sufficient to fully offset the 33.5 million ounces of contained silver that were depleted from our mineral reserves through mining and 8.9 million ounce of silver re-categorized from reserves to resources due to lower assumed metal prices.”
