Der Kurs sollte eigentlich anspringen im Laufe der nächsten Wochen, zumal im Februar als kleines Zubrot wieder ein Dividende ansteht.
VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 19, 2021 /CNW/ - Pan American Silver Corp. (NASDAQ: PAAS) (TSX: PAAS) ("Pan American") today announced its preliminary production results for the fourth quarter ("Q4 2020") and full year 2020 ("FY 2020"), and provided its guidance for production, costs and certain expenditures in 2021.
"We are expecting a 35% increase in silver production relative to 2020 and record gold production in 2021, despite our assumption that COVID-19 will continue to have an impact on operations," said Michael Steinmann, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pan American. "Under our 2021 guidance assumptions, we expect to be generating robust levels of free cash flow. Our ability to overcome the extraordinary challenges over the past year while managing our nine operations, generating substantial free cash flow, advancing our La Colorada skarn project, and re-paying all our bank debt is a testament to our team and the benefit of having a diversified portfolio of quality assets. I anticipate 2021 being a much stronger year across all our operations."
During 2020, Pan American repaid the remaining $275.0 million outstanding on its corporate credit facility and distributed $46.2 million in dividends to shareholders, with the quarterly dividend being increased twice during the year. As at December 31, 2020, Pan American had no bank debt, while the cash and short-term investment balances increased to approximately $279.1 million.
