This document provides an investor presentation for Pan American Silver Corp. It begins with several cautionary notes regarding the use of non-GAAP measures, forward-looking statements, and technical information in the presentation. The presentation then summarizes Pan American Silver's portfolio of silver-focused mining assets in the Americas, its track record of growing silver production, weighted exposure to silver prices, strong operating performance in 2016 with decreased costs, and outlook for 2017-2019 with increasing production and declining costs per ounce. The presentation positions Pan American Silver as a top primary silver producer with a large silver reserve base, low-cost production profile, and potential for continued improvement in operating margins through efficient operations and development of its pipeline of projects.

February Investor Presentation - Pan American Silver
3. Cautionary Note About Mineral Reserves
and Resources
3 February 27, 2017
Cautionary Note to US Investors Concerning Estimates of Mineral Reserves and Resources
This presentation has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities laws, which differ from the requirements of U.S. securities laws. Unless
otherwise indicated, all mineral reserve and resource estimates included in this presentation have been prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 –
Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (‘‘NI 43-101’’) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum classification system. NI 43-101 is a rule developed
by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific andtechnical information concerning mineral projects.
Canadian standards, including NI 43-101, differ significantly from the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and information
concerning mineralization, deposits, mineral reserve and resource information contained or referred to herein may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S.
companies. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this presentation uses the terms ‘‘measured resources’’, ‘‘indicated resources’’ and ‘‘inferred
resources’’. U.S. investors are advised that, while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian securities laws, the SEC does not recognize them. The requirements of
NI 43-101 for identification of ‘‘reserves’’ are not the same as those of the SEC, and reserves reported by Pan American in compliance with NI 43-101 may not qualify as
‘‘reserves’’ under SEC standards. Under U.S. standards, mineralization may not be classified as a ‘‘reserve’’ unless the determination has been made that the mineralization
could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part of a
“measured resource” or “indicated resource” will ever be converted into a “reserve”. U.S. investors should also understand that “inferred resources” have a great amount of
uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of “inferred resources” exist, are
economically or legally mineable or will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian securities laws, estimated “inferred resources” may not form the basis of
feasibility or pre-feasibility studies except in rare cases. Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a mineral resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian securities laws. However,
the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade, without reference to unit
measures. Accordingly, information concerning mineral deposits set forth herein may not be comparable with information made public by companies that report in accordance
with U.S. standards.

18. La Colorada expansion (1)
18 February 27, 2017
Highlights
• 69% increase expected in average annual
silver production to 7.7 Moz by 2018
• 137% and 185% increase expected in zinc
and lead production, respectively, by 2018
Project Scope
• New 618-metre deep mine shaft – fully
commissioned in Q3 2016
• New sulphide processing plant – began
operating Q3 2016
• Underground development to open new
production areas – advancing on schedule for
completion in 2017
• New 115kV power line - targeted for
completion in 2017
(1) For additional information, please refer to the Company’s technical report entitled “Technical Report – Preliminary Economic Analysis for the Expansion of the La Colorada Mine, Zacatecas, Mexico”,
with an effective date of Dec. 31, 2013 available at www.SEDAR.com. The results of this preliminary economic assessment are preliminary in nature, in that it includes inferred mineral resources that are
considered too geologically speculative to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the assessment
will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves have no demonstrated economic viability.
Original investment of $163.8M, including sustaining
capital, generated an IRR of 22% at Ag $19/oz
Now expected to be ~5% under budget

Notes:

prices of $25.00 per ounce of silver and $1,400 per ounce gold.
2 Mineral resource and reserve estimates for Dolores were prepared under the supervision of, or were reviewed by, Christopher Emerson, FAusIMM, and Martin G. Wafforn, P.Eng., as Qualified
Persons as that term is defined in NI 43-101.
20. Dolores expansion (1)
20 February 27, 2017
Highlights
• During first 5 years, estimated increases in
average annual production of:
• Silver up 40%
• Gold up 52%
• Reduce Cash Costs through operational
efficiencies and higher gold production
Project Scope
• New 5,600 tpd pulp agglomeration plant -
scheduled for start-up in mid 2017
• New underground mine - scheduled to
reach 1,500 tpd by end of 2017
• New 115 kV power line - energized in
September 2016
(1) For additional information, please refer to the Company’s technical report entitled “Technical Report for the Dolores Property, Chihuahua, Mexico - Preliminary Economic Assessment of a Pulp
Agglomeration Treatment and Underground Option”, with an effective date of May 31, 2014 available at www.SEDAR.com. The results of this preliminary economic assessment are preliminary in
nature, in that it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too geologically speculative to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized
as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the assessment will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves have no demonstrated economic viability.
Estimated capital investment ~$132.4 M (incl. power line)
IRR 27% at Ag $19/oz & Au $1,200/oz
On budget

32. Views on the silver market (1)
• Real interest rates in the U.S. likely to remain low in 2017, despite expected monetary tightening
• US GDP growth constrained by high government debt, limiting government’s scope for new round of
fiscal stimulus
• Europe’s banking sector remains vulnerable
• Inflationary pressures are starting to build
• Industrial demand represents just under half of the total demand for silver
• Growing demand through the use of technology, electronics and renewable sources of power
• Silver demand from the photovoltaics industry now represents 14% of silver’s industrial demand,
up from only 1% a decade ago.
• Emerging market economies, especially in China, are stabilizing, lifting industrial commodity
demand
• Little to no growth in silver supply because many exploration companies have not been investing in
exploration and new projects
• Silver supply deficit expected in 2017
32 February 27, 2017

Factors support continued demand for silver for both industrial applications and
as a safe-haven asset.
