Commenting on Mr. Burns' retirement, Ross Beaty,
Chairman, said, "After a very productive 12 years with Pan American, Geoff is passing the CEO baton to Michael Steinmann.
Geoff was instrumental in helping build Pan American into the world's second largest primary silver producer. He also played a
vital role in assembling and retaining one of the most respected professional teams in our industry. On behalf of the Board of
Directors, I would like to thank Geoff for all his years of outstanding dedication and service and wish him the best in his future.
We are glad to be able to continue to tap into his knowledge."

charge of Pan American's strategic business development activities in 2011. He was promoted to President in February, 2015. He

Sciences (Geology) from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and a Degree in Corporate Finance from Escuela Superior de Administración
y Negocios.
Mr. Beaty commented, "I congratulate Michael
on his appointment as Chief Executive Officer for Pan American. He has been a long-time and highly valued member of our executive
team. I know that he has the right mix of knowledge, experience and dedication to take the reins of our Company at a time when
we are expanding two of our best assets and reconfiguring our portfolio to become even stronger mine builders and operators. Michael
is a well-recognized and respected professional and will do an outstanding job as our new CEO."
