"All-in sustaining costs in the first half of the year were below our guidance range for silver and in line for gold. In Q2, costs per ounce were primarily affected by lower gold production, higher consumables costs and increased labour-related costs and royalties, which reflect the increase in metal prices. We reiterate our 2026 Operating Outlook for production and costs, and remain focused on disciplined cost management and improving operating efficiencies."

Escobal,
The ILO 169 consultation process for Escobal continues with the Ministry of Energy and Mines ("MEM"). The Vice Minister of the Environment and other government representatives visited the Escobal mine on May 28, 2026. On June 22, 2026, the Company met with representatives from the MEM and the Vice Ministry of Sustainable Development, who reported that advisors to the Xinka have been retained for bilateral meetings between the MEM and the Xinka representatives to review consultation activities. Accordingly, a bilateral meeting was held on July 7, 2026. On July 2, 2026, the Vice Minister of the MEM was promoted to Minister. While the consultation work is continuing, there is currently no timeline for the conclusion of the Escobal ILO 169 consultation process and no date for a restart of operations at the Escobal mine.
On June 1, 2026, the Company announced a conceptual plan for a phased development of new mineral resources to support potential production growth and extension of mine life at

2026 OPERATING OUTLOOK
Based on production and costs to date, the Company reiterates its 2026 Operating Outlook for silver and gold production, zinc, lead and copper ("base metal") production, Silver Segment and Gold Segment AISC, and sustaining capital expenditures, as provided in the Company's MD&A dated February 18, 2026.
Management now expects full year 2026 gold production to be at the low end of its guidance range of 700 to 750 thousand ounces and third quarter 2026 gold production to be between three to six thousand ounces below the low end of the guidance range of 178.5 to 192.0 thousand ounces. The modifications to the planned gold production primarily relate to lower expected production at Jacobina and El Peñon, while gold production in the second half of the year is expected to improve at
At Jacobina, gold production is now expected to be approximately 10 thousand ounces below the low end of the original annual guidance range of 181 to 191 thousand ounces, reflecting changes to mining sequencing. The mining method employed at Jacobina over the last 40 years has been open stoping with very few of the stopes backfilled. Over the last several years, Jacobina has experienced seismic events. While these events have not resulted in any injuries or infrastructure damage, after reassessing the risks associated with seismicity, we have implemented measures in Q2 2026 that include leaving larger pillars, reducing production rates in some higher-grade areas and increasing development rates to open more mining zones. These measures will result in overall mining grades coming in closer to average mineral reserve grade. Longer-term, we are evaluating alternative AVOCA-type mining methods in certain areas with waste rock backfill, and cemented backfill as part of the optimization of the Jacobina operation.
At El Peñon, silver production is expected to remain within the original annual guidance range of 3.65 to 3.95 million ounces. Gold production is now expected to be approximately 10 thousand ounces below the low end of the original annual guidance range of 104 to 111 thousand ounces, reflecting lower-than-expected continuity in certain secondary structures.
Additionally, due to increased profitability as a result of higher metal prices than management had assumed for the first half of the year, we are increasing the guidance range for taxes paid to be between

Alternative Performance (Non-GAAP) Measures
In this news release, we refer to measures that are non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are widely used in the mining industry as a benchmark for performance, but do not have a standardized meaning as prescribed by IFRS as an indicator of performance, and may differ from methods used by other companies with similar descriptions. These non-GAAP financial measures include:
- Adjusted earnings and basic adjusted earnings per share. Pan American believes that these measures better reflect normalized earnings as they eliminate items that in management's judgment are subject to volatility as a result of factors, which are unrelated to operations in the period, and/or relate to items that will settle in future periods.
-
Attributable revenue, Attributable cash flow from operations, and Attributable free cash flow. Any reference to "Attributable" in this news release should be understood to reflect the Company's ownership share of results, which includes results from the operations that the Company has a
100% ownership interest in as well as from the operations, specifically the Juanicipio mine and theSan Vicente mine, that the Company does not own a100% interest in. - Free cash flow is calculated as net cash generated from operating activities less sustaining capital expenditures. Free cash flow does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Pan American and certain investors use this information to evaluate the profitability of Pan American and identify capital that may be available for investment or return to shareholders.
- AISC. Any reference to “AISC” in this news release should be understood to mean all-in sustaining costs per silver or gold ounce sold, net of impact from by-product metals (respectively, the "Silver Segment AISC" or "Gold Segment AISC"), presented on an Attributable basis. Pan American believes that AISC, calculated net of by-products, is a more comprehensive measure of the cost of operating our consolidated business, given it includes the cost of replacing silver and gold ounces through exploration, the cost of ongoing capital investments at current operations ("sustaining capital"), as well as other items that affect the Company’s consolidated cash flow. AISC excludes capital investments that are expected to increase production levels or mine life beyond those contemplated in the base case life-of-mine plan ("project capital").
- Total debt is calculated as the total current and non-current portions of: debt, including senior notes and amounts drawn on the Credit Facility, construction loans and lease obligations. Total debt does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Pan American and certain investors use this information to evaluate the financial debt leverage of Pan American.
- Working capital is calculated as current assets less current liabilities. Working capital does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Pan American and certain investors use this information to evaluate whether Pan American is able to meet its current obligations using its current assets.
- Total available liquidity is calculated as cash and cash equivalents plus short-term investments, plus undrawn amounts under the Credit Facility. Total available liquidity does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Pan American and certain investors use this information to evaluate the liquid financial resources available to the Company.
- Project capital refers to investments that are expected to increase production levels or mine life beyond those contemplated in the base case life-of-mine plan. Project capital does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Pan American and certain investors use this information to evaluate capital investments that are directed at increasing production levels or mine life beyond those contemplated in the base case life-of-mine plan.
Readers should refer to the "Alternative Performance (non-GAAP) Measures" section of Pan American’s MD&A for the period ended June 30, 2026 for a more detailed discussion of these and other non-GAAP measures and a detailed reconciliation of these measures in the Q2 2026 Financial Statements.
