CAUTIONARY NOTE
Non-GAAP Measures
This presentation of Pan American Silver Corp. and its subsidiaries (collectively,
"Pan American", "Pan American Silver", the "Company", "we" or "our") refers to
various non-GAAP measures, such as "AISC", "cash costs per ounce sold",
"adjusted earnings" and "basic adjusted earnings per share", "total debt",
"capital", "operating margin", "free cash flow" and "working capital". These
measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS as an indicator
of performance, and may differ from methods used by other companies. Silver
segment Cash Costs and AISC are calculated net of credits for realized revenues
from all metals other than silver, and are calculated per ounce of silver sold.
Gold segment Cash Costs and AISC are calculated net of credits for realized
silver revenues, and are calculated per ounce of gold sold. Consolidated Cash
Costs and AISC are based on total silver ounces sold and are net of by-product
credits from all metals other than silver.
Readers should refer to the "Alternative Performance (Non-GAAP) Measures"
section of the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for
the period ended March 31, 2023, available at www.sedar.com.

Guatemala; and the future results of exploration activities, including with

number of assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Pan American, are
inherently subject to significant operational, business, economic and regulatory
uncertainties and contingencies. These assumptions include: the world-wide

to the COVID-19 pandemic; tonnage of ore to be mined and processed; ore
grades and recoveries; prices for silver, gold and base metals remaining as
estimated; currency exchange rates remaining as estimated; capital,
decommissioning and reclamation estimates; our mineral reserve and resource
estimates and the assumptions upon which they are based; prices for energy
inputs, labour, materials, supplies and services (including transportation); no
labour-related disruptions at any of our operations; no unplanned delays or
interruptions in scheduled production; all necessary permits, licenses and
regulatory approvals for our operations are received in a timely manner; our
ability to secure and maintain title and ownership to properties and the surface

environmental, health and safety laws. The foregoing list of assumptions is not
exhaustive.

information involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
that may cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements or information
contained in this news release and Pan American has made assumptions and
estimates based on or related to many of these factors. Such factors include,
without limitation: the duration and effects of COVID-19, and any other
pandemics on our operations and workforce, and the effects on global
economies and society; fluctuations in silver, gold and base metal prices;
fluctuations in prices for energy inputs, labour, materials, supplies and services

geological or structural formations, cave-ins, flooding and severe weather); risks
relating to the credit worthiness or financial condition of suppliers, refiners and
other parties with whom Pan American does business; inadequate insurance, or
inability to obtain insurance, to cover these risks and hazards; employee
relations; relationships with, and claims by, local communities and indigenous
populations; our ability to obtain all necessary permits, licenses and regulatory
approvals in a timely manner; changes in laws, regulations and government
practices in the jurisdictions where we operate, including environmental, export
and import laws and regulations; changes in national and local government,
legislation, taxation, controls or regulations and political, legal or economic
