Vancouver, B.C.
- October 13, 2010 - Pan American Silver Corp.
("Pan
American" or the "Company"), (NASDAQ: PAAS; TSX: PAA) is pleased to
report that its two Mexican mines, La Colorada and Alamo Dorado, have
received the prestigious 2009 Casco de Plata (the "Silver Hardhat")
safety awards.
The awards are granted annually by the Mexican Chamber
of Mines (CAMIMEX), to the safest open pit mine and underground mine in
Mexico.
The La Colorada mine won the 2009 Casco de Plata in the category of
underground operation with more than 501 workers.
La Colorada currently
has approximately 669 employees and contractors.
The Alamo Dorado mine
won the 2009 Casco de Plata in the category of open pit operation with
fewer than 500 workers.
Alamo Dorado currently has approximately 280
employees and contractors.
Commenting on the awards, Steve Busby, COO said, "We take great pride in
the safety record at our Mexican operations.
Both our Mexican mines are
consistently ranked among the safest operations in the country.
It is
the second time both mines have won this prestigious award; however,
this is the first time that both La Colorada and Alamo Dorado have
received the Casco de Plata in their respective categories for the same
year.
This is a reflection of our continued commitment to the highest
safety standards at all of our mines and the well being of all our
employees.
I would like to personally congratulate each of our Mexican
employees and contractors on this tremendous achievement; it would not
have been possible without their daily dedication to working safely each
and every shift."
