Can Pan American Silver Maintain Its Solid Silver Production Rally?

Pan American Silver Corp. PAAS has delivered solid performance in 2025, backed by strong production growth and silver prices. The company produced 22.8 million ounces of silver in 2025, surpassing the company’s expectations. The figure increased 8% from 2024.

This includes a record 7.3 million ounces of silver produced in the fourth quarter of 2025, driven by the better-than-expected results at the Juanicipio mine. In early September 2025, PAAS completed its previously stated acquisition of MAG Silver Corp. Pan American Silver gained a 44% stake in the Juanicipio project, which is a large-scale, high-grade silver mine in Zacatecas operated by Fresnillo plc. The company expects contribution from the Juanicipio mine to be 6.00-6.50 million ounces of silver for 2026, reflecting a full-year contribution from the mine.

Solid contributions from La Colorada will be another driver for PAAS in 2026. The company anticipates the mine to produce 5.80-6.25 million ounces of silver in 2026. It produced 6.02 million ounces in 2005.

For 2026, Pan American Silver expects silver production from its Cerro Moro mine to be 2.80-3 million ounces, indicating a 16% year-over-year increase at the mid-point. The upside will be driven by mine sequencing into higher silver grade ores at the underground zones.

For 2026, the company expects total silver production of 25-27 million ounces, with a stronger performance anticipated in the second half of the year. The figure indicates a year-over-year increase of 14% at the mid-point.
