Pan American Silver (NYSE:PAAS) Stock, Rapport sur les intérêts à découvert

Pan American Silver

Pan American Silver Corp is a mining company principally engaged in the operation and development of, and exploration for, silver and gold-producing properties and assets. The company's principal products are silver and gold, although it also produces and sells zinc, lead, and copper. Its operating mines comprise La Colorada, Dolores, Huaron, Morococha, Shahuindo, La Arena, Timmins West, Bell Creek, Manantial Espejo, and San Vicente mines.

Pan American Silver Corp

Investors cautious about the Federal Reserve&#39;s September rate cut&mdash;confirmed at its mid-month meeting to be a full 50 basis points&mdash;and skeptical about the strength of the dollar have flocked to gold, sending the most famous safe haven commodity soaring to record highs. But there is only so much upside potential to gold, particularly given the attention that it has already drawn. For investors interested in diversifying beyond gold but still in search of a hedge against the dollar amid a new interest rate environment, silver provides a suitable alternative.
The price of silver has climbed at a pace just slightly slower than gold in the last year, surging by more than 29% in that time. Investors looking to stock up on physical metals may find that silver&#39;s lower price relative to gold makes it more accessible. It also has a strong array of applications, as its conductivity makes it an essential component of many electronics, solar components, and other products.
There are also ways to build indirect exposure to silver, either through a number of ETFs focused on the mining industry or through the stocks of individual silver mining firms. These companies tend to do well when the price of silver surges but are potentially separated from the volatility of the metal itself to some degree.
<h2>PAAS: Increased Resource Estimates, Earnings Growth Potential</h2>
Pan American Silver Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/paas#NYSE">PAAS</a>) is among the larger silver mining companies, with a market capitalization of $7.5 billion. This size is reflected in the firm&#39;s large portfolio of mines scattered throughout the Americas. One mine in particular&mdash;the La Colorada Skarn mine in Mexico&mdash;is notable as Pan American&#39;s highest-producing silver mine.
Pan American announced a significant increase in estimated silver resources at La Colorada earlier this month. The firm also has expansions planned in other mining sites as well. This news could be part of the reason analysts expect Pan American to more than double its earnings in the coming year.
The company is also favored by analysts because of its healthy free cash flow (over $102 million in the latest quarter), which gives it a healthy cushion to fund expansions of its mining efforts or dividend payments.
<h2>WPM: Solid Finances and Balance Sheet</h2>
Investors looking for stability in a mining stock should look to Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wpm#NYSE">WPM</a>), which generated an impressive $234 million in operating cash flow last quarter. The firm carries a cash balance of over $500 million and no debt as of the end of the second quarter, making it ideally positioned to address a variety of business needs through the remainder of the year.
Wheaton is among the few mining stocks to generate net earnings rather than net losses last quarter.
This company is less of a targeted silver play than some others, however.
While Wheaton&#39;s silver production for the latest quarter did climb by 14% relative to a year earlier, silver production and sales remain just a small portion of the company&#39;s business, well behind gold.
<h2>NEM: Notable Dividend and Major Cash Influx</h2>
Newmont Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nem#NYSE">NEM</a>) is also one of the largest mining companies, but while other firms expand their operations, this company is making moves to streamline its business.
Like Wheaton above, its primary business is gold, though Newmont does maintain its silver mining operations as well.
Newmont has recently renewed its focus on high-production tier 1 mining assets, and in doing so plans to sell a number of its other mining projects.
In the process, Newmont could raise $2 billion.
This could boost its dividend yield and may be a factor among analysts forecasting earnings growth of more than 20% in the coming year.
<h2>Silver ETFs Offer Easy Exposure to Silver Without Storage Hassles</h2>
Silver ETFs offer investors an easy way of tracking the spot price of silver without having to face the challenges associated with holding, storing, and transporting physical silver. An under-the-radar silver ETF is the Aberdeen Standard Physical Silver Shares ETF (ARCA:SIVR), which stands out for its strong performance over the last year&mdash;it is up more than 28% during that time&mdash;as well as its expense ratio of 0.30%, lower than popular competitor iShares Silver Trust ETF (ARCA:SLV) which stands at 0.50%.

Shares of precious metal companies are trading lower amid a drop in the price of gold. Weakness in the commodity may be due to August's ISM Manufacturing PMI data indicating an economic contraction and pending non-farm payrolls data that may determine the size of future rate cuts.

Shares of precious metals stocks are trading lower amid a drop in the US dollar.

The momentum in gold&#8217;s recent rally has lost much of its shine, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/gold">with the precious metal</a> unable to reach new record highs since Aug. 20, as U.S. Treasury yields stabilize and the dollar rebounds.
On Wednesday, gold traded at $2,505 per ounce, down 0.8% for the day, poised to break a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities"> three-session winning streak.</a>
The dollar's recent surge, driven by positive catalysts, appears to be fading, prompting traders to take profits and reduce exposure to gold.
 Rate-cut expectations have not seen significant improvement, with speculators fully pricing in a September rate cut but assigning a 65% probability to a smaller 25-basis-point reduction, compared to 35% for a 50-basis-point cut, according to the CME FedWatch tool.
As the Federal Reserve&#8217;s rate cut expectations remained largely unchanged, Treasury yields stabilized, with the 10-year yield trading at 3.83% on Wednesday. Despite falling 67 basis points since early July, the yield hasn&#8217;t dropped below 3.75% since earlier this month, when a volatility event caused wild swings in equity and fixed income markets.
Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which have historically boosted safe-haven assets like gold, did not escalate into a broader conflict after recent exchanges between Israel and Hezbollah. This de-escalation has further diminished gold&#8217;s appeal.
The U.S. dollar index (DXY) was up 0.4% Wednesday, after closing Tuesday at the lowest levels since July 2023.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Wednesday&#8217;s Pullbacks In Gold Mining Stocks</h3>
The dip in gold prices has led to a more significant decline in gold mining stocks. The VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>) and the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDXJ#NYSE">GDXJ</a>) both fell by 2.5%.

Gold Rally Loses Steam As Treasury Yields Stabilize, Dollar Rebounds: 6 Miner Stocks See Declines On Wednesday

Zijin Mining Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZIJMF#OTC">ZIJMF</a>), a Chinese copper and gold producer, is encountering increasing obstacles to its mergers and acquisitions (M&amp;A) ambitions due to geopolitical tensions, a slowing global economy, and a rise in resource nationalism.
These challenges have raised concerns over the company's ability to expand its international footprint, particularly in strategic mining jurisdictions like <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/canada" rel="noreferrer noopener">Canada</a>.
Despite these headwinds, Zijin reported a robust financial performance in the first half of 2024, with net income surging 46% to $2.1 billion. Higher commodity prices and effective cost management drove this growth; however, management acknowledged the impact of commodity price fluctuations, geopolitical risks, and policy changes on their future operations.
As one of China's most acquisitive metals companies, Zijin has a history of acquiring copper and gold mines worldwide, including in Canada and Africa. It has also ventured into lithium, aiming to become a significant player in the battery materials market.
Now read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/08/40526448/canadian-government-intervenes-to-avoid-economic-crisis-orders-railways-back-to-work" rel="noreferrer noopener">Canadian Government Intervenes To Avoid Economic Crisis, Orders Railways Back To Work</a>
Still, the growing effort by the U.S., EU, and their allies to reduce reliance on Chinese-controlled supply chains is restricting Zijin's expansion plans. These efforts have increased regulatory hurdles for Chinese companies, particularly in mining.
Earlier this month, Zijin's subsidiary, Jinteng Mining, hit a regulatory hurdle after Canada's Industry Minister, François-Philippe Champagne, indicated that he might order a formal review of an asset acquisition. Jinteng made a $295 million deal to acquire Pan American Silver Corp's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAAS#NYSE">PAAS</a>) La Arena mine in Peru.
Jinteng filed a judicial review application quoting lacking jurisdiction. "The targets are Peruvian entities. They do not have a place of operations in Canada or otherwise carry on operations in Canada, they do not have individuals in Canada who are employed or self-employed in connection with their operations, and they do not have assets in Canada used in carrying on their operations," they noted, <a target="_blank" href="https://financialpost.com/commodities/mining/china-mining-company-disputes-security-review-pan-american-silver-deal" rel="noreferrer noopener">per</a> Financial Post.
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/24/03/37513662/the-answer-cannot-be-china-canadas-wilkinson-says-mining-scrutiny-intensifies-as-srg-scraps-d" rel="noreferrer noopener">Recent changes</a> to the Investment Canada Act that tighten control over foreign investments in sectors have created obstacles, given that many junior mining companies—potential takeover targets for Zijin—are listed in Canada.
Despite these issues, Zijin remains focused on expanding its global footprint in copper, gold, and lithium. Management also offered its outlook for these metals.
"The copper market will go into a deficit in the medium to long term due to the metal's use in the global green transition, artificial intelligence and booming demand from emerging economies. Gold will fluctuate at high levels, with geopolitical uncertainty raising haven demand, while the lithium price downturn may continue as supply and demand rebalances," the statement<a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-08-26/china-s-zijin-mining-sees-increasing-threats-to-m-a-ambitions" rel="noreferrer noopener"> said</a>, Bloomberg reported.

Zijin Mining Reports Surging Net Income, Acknowledges Growing M&A Threats

Editor&#8217;s name: This story has been updated to correct the spelling of Alamos Gold CEO John McCluskey&#8217;s name. 
Gold mining companies are ramping up <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/08/40309407/gold-fields-acquires-osisko-mining-for-1-57b-secures-control-over-highly-prospective-windfall-projec">M&amp;A activity</a> as record gold prices boost the free cash flow they can use to make deals.
As older mines become depleted and mining costs rise, quickly adding ounces in the ground is tempting, but it also adds the risk of paying too much or having trouble incorporating assets.
In the latest merger in the gold mining sector, Gold Fields Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GFI#NYSE">GFI</a>) said it plans to buy Osisko Mining Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OBNNF#OTC">OBNNF</a>) for $1.57 billion in cash, giving the acquirer full ownership of the Windfall gold project in Canada.
&#8220;Deposits with the scale and quality of Windfall, combined with a world-class jurisdiction like Québec, are extremely rare," Gold Fields CEO&nbsp;Mike Fraser said in a prepared statement.

As gold companies rake in free cash flow from high gold prices, a big question this earnings season has been how they will allocate those funds, Bank of America analysts said in a note. Options include returning money to shareholders with dividends or share buybacks, exploring for gold and developing mines themselves, or buying other miners to bulk up on deposits quickly.
"Depleting resources, declining supply in old mines and the lack of new mines have been inherent threats to the industry," a Zacks Equity Research note said. "Due to the scarcity of discoveries and {exhausting of) existing resources, miners prefer building up reserves through acquisitions rather than digging new ones that are risky and capital-intensive."
On Friday, gold futures hit a record above $2,500 per ounce amid expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts. The surge in the precious metal boosted gold mining stocks, with the&nbsp;VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>) rising 3.08% in Friday afternoon trading, as of last check.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">A Feeding Frenzy for Assets</h1>
Gold deals last year included Pan American Silver Corp.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAAS#NASDAQ">PAAS</a>) and Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd.'s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEM#NYSE">AEM</a>) purchase of Yamana Gold Inc. in a $4.8 billion cash-and-stock deal. But the blockbuster was the biggest-ever gold merger when Newmont Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>) bought Newcrest Mining Ltd. for nearly $17 billion.
The Newmont-Newcrest deal is sparking further interest in gold M&amp;A, as Newmont said it intends to sell eight mines, including two it acquired from Newcrest, to help pay down debt and focus on top-tier mines and a two-year share repurchase program.&nbsp;
Newmont CEO Tom Palmer in a recent conference call said 20 parties made bids for its Akyem property in Ghana, and seven of those companies are preparing bids for the second phase of the sale process.&nbsp;
"We're certainly seeing a competitive process and good value coming through," he said.
Meanwhile, the company had 67 parties participate in the first phase of the sales process for its&nbsp;Cripple Creek &amp; Victor, Éléonore, Porcupine, Musselwhite and Coffee mines in Canada. There were "around" 24 bids submitted, he said.
"We've had a range of bids, from a single asset to a bundle of assets to the full portfolio," Palmer said. "And we are busily now having received those bids just in recent days, working through a process of assessing those, and determining, which parties we'll take into Phase 2. There's some very nice competition in that process."
In another example of how M&amp;A begets more M&amp;A, Alamos Gold Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AGI#NYSE">AGI</a>) last month closed a $325 million all-stock deal for Argonaut Gold. Assets that Alamos didn't want were spun out and sold to Heliostar Metals Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HSTXF#OTC">HSTXF</a>) and Integra Resources Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITRG#NYSE">ITRG</a>).
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Copper to Continue to Play a Role</h1>
A trend in gold mining has been gold companies accumulating substantial amounts of copper. Copper is often found alongside gold in the earth's crust, and copper mine lives can run into decades, giving gold shareholders the promise of cash flow if gold deposits wane.
Additionally, copper is increasingly attractive to both base and precious metals mining companies as experts estimate demand for the metal will continue increasing as nations electrify their economies. Copper is widely used in wiring and electric vehicle batteries.
One of the reasons Newmont bought Newcrest was the latter's large holdings of copper, as the latter added nearly 50 billion pounds of copper reserves and resources to Newmont's books in one fell swoop.
In 2023, Agnico Eagle bought a 50% interest in a Mexican copper-zinc project from Teck Resources Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TECK#NYSE">TECK</a>).
Meanwhile, Barrick Gold Corp.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOLD#NYSE">GOLD</a>)&nbsp;is spending nearly $2 billion to expand a copper mine in Zambia and $7 billion to build a copper and gold mine in Pakistan, with new production from both expected to begin in 2028.&nbsp;
John McCluskey, CEO of Alamos Gold, told Benzinga he thinks the largest gold companies will continue to scoop up copper assets as part of a broader decades-long gold M&amp;A trend.
"At the major end, you're going to find that," he said.

Gold Mining M&A Heats Up As Rising Metal Prices Boost Cash (CORRECTED)

Source: <a href="https://www.streetwisereports.com/article/2024/08/16/diverse-issues-offset-mostly-strong-revenues.html?utm_medium=feed">Adrian Day 08/16/2024</a>
Global Analyst Adrian Day reviews results from six major resource companies, four of which are royalty companies.
The quarterly results we look at today from six major resource companies mostly include higher revenues and cash flows, which is not unexpected given that the gold price was $250 an ounce higher than in the first quarter.
However, they also show some companies are still struggling with costs. Above all, they clearly illustrate Robert Friedland&#39;s quip that &quot;Murphy works overtime in the mining business.&quot;
The last quarter includes a power outage, equipment failures, arbitration, a heap leach failure, a broken agreement, and construction delays. And more. It reinforces that mining is a difficult business, and so too for the royalty companies that reap some of the rewards. Guidance and market forecasts are all too often set with the expectation of perfection. Companies that had unexpected problems saw their stock prices slammed.
<h2>Wheaton Has Strong Quarter as It Ramps up Production</h2>
Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wpm#NYSE">WPM</a>) was the exception, with a strong quarter in which nothing meaningful went wrong. It is on track to achieve the upper end of its full-year guidance. Production was stronger than expected, driven by outperformance at its largest asset, Salobo, as Phase III continues its ramp-up, as well as strong performance at Pe&ntilde;asquito and Antamina.
Sales were lower due to timing differences between production and sales. There are some major new assets on which it holds streams moving towards production, including Ivanhoe&#39;s Platreef, where an updated feasibility study is scheduled for the fourth quarter; this will be one of the world&#39;s largest platinum producers. There are six other projects under construction and more predevelopment projects, allowing Wheaton to move from this year&#39;s production range of 550,000 to 620,000 GEOs to over 850,000 a year from 2029 onwards.
<h2>Company Has Strong Pipeline With Balance Sheet To Transact</h2>
The pipeline for new deals is very busy, with larger transactions under consideration, mostly in the pre-construction phase, with some over half-a-billion in size.
This is a change from recent Wheaton activity which saw it making some very small transactions, some as small as $20 million. The company has a rock-solid balance sheet, with $540 million in cash, up $234 million on the quarter, with total liquidity of $2.5 billion.
We are long-term holders.
<h2>Royal on Track To Meet Guidance With Strong Revenues</h2>
Royal Gold Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rgld#NASDAQ">RGLD</a>) reported quarterly financials better than expected, even after pre-releasing its streaming sales, which constitute the bulk of its revenues. Revenue was up 17% quarter-on-quarter, primarily due to higher metal prices but also higher copper sales at Mount Milligan and higher gold and silver production from Pe&ntilde;asquito, partially offset by lower sales at Pueblo Viejo, where the expansion is still in ramp-up. G&amp;A cash costs remain flat. The company is tracking its guidance, which remains unchanged.
During the quarter, Royal acquired additional royalties on B2Gold&#39;s Back River project. The royalties are different in structure (NSR and GSR) as well as having hurdles and variable rates; the company estimates that, in aggregate, their royalties approximate a 1.1% gross smelter royalty. With a further $100 million paydown on its debt, the company is now net cash positive, with just $50 million of debt outstanding and available liquidity of $1 billion. The debt is expected to be paid off next week, eliminating the debt taken on to acquire three major royalties over the past two years (Cortez, Great Bear, and Back River), which the company acquired without any equity dilution.
Royal has strong free cash flow, and near-term growth as well as some longer-term potential.
<h2>Osisko Lowers Full-Year Guidance as It Writes off Mine Royalty</h2>
Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/or#NYSE">OR</a>) saw a reasonable second quarter, in line with its guidance, but due, as acknowledged by the company, to higher metals prices. Gold Equivalent Ounces (GEOs), which had been pre-released, declined slightly. It lowered its second-half guidance on the back of the suspension of the Eagle Mine in the Yukon following a heap leach failure at the end of the quarter.
Osisko decided to take a full impairment on the royalty it holds on the mine, stating that it has no visibility on when the mine might restart and is not expecting any ounces for the rest of the year. There is also a delay in the ramp-up of one of its new royalty assets, Mantos Blancos, contributing to the lower-than-expected second half. It does have three new assets paying in the second half, including Tocantinzinho, which has already started producing but on which royalty payments have a three-month delay. It has already received initial payments from a new Agnico Mine as well as the CSA copper assets in Australia.
<h2>New Assets Starting Up</h2>
Paying down debt is the company&#39;s first priority, other than doing new transactions. After repaying $44 million during the quarter, it now has $109 million in debt and $67 million in cash. With a credit facility, it has access to capital and a strong balance sheet.
Though the second half will be weaker than earlier expected, there are three new paying assets, and behind these a strong pipeline. Osisko has 20 producing assets, with 98% of revenues now from gold and silver and a very strong political risk profile. The new CEO is proving himself to be capable and focused.
Osisko is a Buy.
<h2>Altius Financials as Expected, as Major Decision and Transaction Awaited</h2>
Altius Minerals Corp. (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/atusf#OTC">ATUSF</a>) reported financials for the quarter more-or-less as expected after pre-releasing royalty revenue. As always, with a diverse portfolio, there are winners and losers: potash fell again from its extraordinarily high pricing levels in 2023, while base metals saw continued gains. The iron ore segment recovered, and renewal royalties, while lower than an exceptional first quarter, are growing strongly, more than 50% above the year-ago quarter.
In all, royalty revenue of $21.7 million rose nearly 25% in the last quarter (and 17% from the year-ago quarter). The outlook looks strong. The renewables company saw one new project come on line in the last quarter, with another this quarter and several new deals closing. Altius holds royalties on three projects in its base and battery metals division, which are currently under construction, while Champion Iron is continuing discussions on finding a partner for its Kami iron-ore project, for which Altius holds a royalty. The high-priority iron ore that Kami will produce was recently designated as a &quot;critical mineral&quot; by Canada.
<h2>Silicon-Merlin Will Be the Major Drive in the Near Term</h2>
In the near term, however, the major development will be the disposition of the royalty it holds on AngloGold&#39;s Silicon-Merlin deposit in southern Nevada.
The deposit continues to advance, with some exceptional assay results from its infill drilling at Merlin, including a stunning 0.53 g/t gold over 144.5 meters. It drilled 66,000 km during the first half, mostly infill, though we know there has also been aggressive drilling to the west of the Merlin deposit, with the company saying it had hit &quot;very exciting&quot; new intercepts. A Pre-Feasibility Study on Merlin is expected to be finished in late 2025. The region has a current resource of 17.5 million ounces, and Anglo projects the district producing 500,000 ounces a year. Altius holds a 1.5% royalty with the area of interest under arbitration; another recommended company, Orogen, holds a 1% royalty on the main deposit, which is undisputed. 
Altius has already received preliminary bids from companies, with CEO Brian Dalton saying that the &quot;strong and diverse proposals . . . highlighted a meaningful disconnect between how its value is perceived by (the) financial industry versus the royalty industry professionals.&quot; Once it has received the decision on its arbitration, it intends to seek final bids and will then make a decision on whether to accept a bid (to sell or swap for base metals royalties) or to hold the royalty. I do not want to read too much into that comment from Dalton, but it was interesting to hear him raise again the possibility of keeping the royalty.
<h2>Altius Buyback Stock, as Improving Balance Sheet Improves</h2>
Altius repurchased 119,000 of its shares during the quarter, and it is no secret that the company wants to repurchase more shares if it sells that royalty. It has cash of a little over $19 million after receiving $9 million in settlement of a loan receivable, plus holdings in public companies totaling over $371 million. These include over $176 million of shares in Altius Renewal Royalties and nearly $56 million in its Project Generation&quot; portfolio.
I am not suggesting that these are all for sale &mdash; though it has been sold some shares from its PG portfolio &mdash; but they do strengthen the balance sheet. It has $93 million available on its credit facility. Altius is a core holding for us, offering broad exposure to the commodity universe with some of the most astute management in the business.
Hold and look to buy on any weakness.
<h2>Pan American&#39;s Production Down at Ongoing Mine Problems</h2>
Pan American Silver Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/paas#NYSE">PAAS</a>) had a mixed quarter with slightly lower production and overall costs higher, though with lower costs for silver quarter-on-quarter ($14.49/oz cash costs). Ongoing issues at two mines, La Colorado and Dolores, hurt production. However, boosted by the higher metals prices, Pan American saw record cash flow from operations during the quarter.
The company reiterated its guidance, expecting production to be weighted towards the fourth quarter and, overall, silver production to be at the low end of the range. The rest of the year should bring improvement from La Colorada following the completion of the new ventilation system and $245 million in cash from the closing of the La Arena sale. There is also potential for the re-start of Escobal; several meetings with the government were held recently after delays caused by the change in government.
The company has a strong balance sheet, with $369 million in cash and a net debt of $472 million. It continued to buy back stock, bringing the total for the year to date to 1.7 million shares for just over $24 million (indicating that most shares were bought early on in the year, given the average cost of just over $14). The company reiterated that it expected additional divestments of non-core assets.
Pan American is a Buy, for operational turnaround, and Escobal potential, as well as strong management and balance sheet.
<h2>Fortuna&#39;s Revenue Disappointments but Issues Are Temporary</h2>
Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fsm#NYSE">FSM</a>) reported revenue slightly lower than expected and costs higher. All-in sustaining Costs (AISC) at $1,656/oz were meaningfully higher than the first quarter&#39;s $1,495 due to three factors: higher power costs in West Africa, planned maintenance at Lindero, and higher per-ounce costs at San Jose as that mine runs down as it approaches the end of its reserve life. The first two factors here are temporary; Fortuna now has full generator capacity at its S&eacute;qu&eacute;la mine, so costs are expected to come down again in the second half of the year.
Despite these challenges, Fortuna is on track to meet its full-year guidance. Operations are doing well, and there has been some good exploration success, in particular around the S&eacute;qu&eacute;la mine. At San Jose, in Mexico, the company is continuing to explore alternatives: continuing to mine, closing the mine, or putting it on care and maintenance pending greater reserves from exploration. It will have a decision in the third quarter. The company continues to strengthen its balance sheet. A convertible issue allowed it to fully repay its credit facility and redeem an existing convertible, partly in cash and partly in shares.
Overall, the new convertible reduced its interest rate from over 7% to just 3.75%. Net debt is now just $66 million. It has $350 million in available liquidity. We like Fortuna for its diversified asset base, its strong management, and solid balance sheet, as well as strong brownfields potential.
