Pan American Silver Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid Company to Repurchase up to 5% of Issued and Outstanding Common Shares

Company to Repurchase up to 5% of Issued and Outstanding Common Shares

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/29/12 -- Pan American Silver Corp. (TSX: PAA)(NASDAQ: PAAS) ("Pan American" or the "Company") today announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") has accepted the Company's notice of its intention to make a normal course issuer bid (the "Bid") to purchase up to 7,607,277 of its common shares, representing up to 5% of Pan American's issued and outstanding shares as of August 20, 2012. Purchases pursuant to the bid will be made on the open market through the facilities of the TSX and the Nasdaq Global Select Market ("NASDAQ"). The period of the Bid will begin on September 4, 2012 and will continue until September 3, 2013 or an earlier date should the Company complete its purchases.


Pan American will pay the market price at the time of acquisition of any common shares in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX and NASDAQ and applicable securities laws. All common shares acquired by the Company under the Bid will be cancelled and purchases will be funded out of Pan American's working capital. Although the Company has a present intention to acquire its common shares pursuant to the Bid, it is not obligated to make any purchases.


Pan American has recently completed its purchases under its previous normal course issuer bid program announced by the Company on August 26, 2011. The Company has acquired 5,395,540 of its own common shares at an average price of US$23.14 within the past 12 months, all pursuant to such bid.


As at August 20, 2012, the number of Pan American's issued and outstanding common shares totaled 152,145,556. In accordance with the rules of the TSX, the maximum daily purchases on the TSX under this normal course issuer bid will be 117,267 common shares, which is 25% of the average daily traded volume for the Company's common shares on the TSX for the six months ended July 31, 2012. In accordance with applicable U.S. securities laws, the maximum daily purchases on NASDAQ under this normal course issuer bid will be 25% of the average daily traded volume for the Company's common shares in the four weeks preceding the day on which the purchases are to be made.


Pan American is undertaking the Bid because, in the opinion of its board of directors, the market price of its common shares, from time to time, may not fully reflect the underlying value of its mining operations, properties and future growth prospects. The Company believes that in such circumstances, the outstanding common shares represent an appealing investment for Pan American since a portion of the Company's excess cash generated on an annual basis can be invested for an attractive risk adjusted return on capital through the Bid.


A copy of the Company's notice of its intention to make a normal course issuer bid filed with the TSX can be obtained from the Corporate Secretary of Pan American without charge.
