NOTE TO UNITED STATES INVESTORS CONCERNING

ESTIMATES OF MEASURED, INDICATED AND INFERRED MINERAL RESOURCES

Unless otherwise indicated, all reserve and resource estimates included in this Annual Report on Form 40-F 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 (the “CIM”) — CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the “CIM Standards”). NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical 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 reserve and resource information included herein may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S. companies. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Annual Report on Form 40-F uses the terms terms “proven mineral reserves”, “probable mineral reserves”, “measured mineral resources,” “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources” as defined in accordance with NI 43-101 and the CIM Standards.

A. Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as those controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Registrant in reports filed or submitted by it under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) also provide that disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Registrant is accumulated and communicated to the Registrant’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of December 31, 2025, the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 40-F, the Registrant carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Registrant's management, including the Registrant's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

B. Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

E. Notice of Pension Fund Blackout Period

The Registrant was not required by Rule 104 of Regulation BTR to send any notice to any of its directors or executive officers during the year ended December 31, 2025.

F. Audit Committee Financial Expert

The Registrant’s board of directors has determined that Jennifer Maki, who served on the Audit Committee of the Registrant’s board of directors during all of 2025 and continues to serve on the Audit Committee, is an audit committee financial expert, as that term is defined in General Instruction B(8)(b) of Form 40-F and is independent under Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

The Commission has indicated that the designation of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not make such person an “expert” for any purpose, impose any duties, obligations or liabilities on such person that are greater than those imposed on members of the audit committee and the board of directors who do not carry this designation or affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the audit committee or board of directors.

G. Code of Ethical Conduct

The Registrant has adopted a global code of ethical conduct (the “Code”) that applies to all directors, officers and employees. A copy of the Code may be obtained at www.panamericansilver.com.

K. NYSE Exemptions

Section 310.00 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual generally requires that a listed company’s by-laws provide for a quorum for any meeting of the holders of the company’s common shares that is sufficiently high to ensure a representative vote. Pursuant to the NYSE corporate governance rules the Registrant, as a foreign private issuer, has elected to comply with practices that are permitted under Canadian law in lieu of the provisions of Section 310.00. The Registrant’s by-laws provide that the minimum quorum for a meeting of holders of Common Shares is two individuals who are shareholders, proxy holders or duly authorized representatives of corporate shareholders personally present and representing shares aggregating not less than 25% of the issued shares of the Registrant carrying the right to vote. The Registrant’s quorum requirements are not prohibited by the requirements of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and the Registrant intends to continue to comply with the requirements of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange, upon which the Common Shares are also listed, do not contain specific quorum requirements.

Except as stated above, the Registrant is in compliance with the rules generally applicable to U.S. domestic companies listed on the NYSE. The Registrant may in the future decide to use other foreign private issuer exemptions with respect to some of the other NYSE listing requirements. Following home country governance practices, as opposed to the

requirements that would otherwise apply to a company listed on the NYSE, may provide less protection than is accorded to investors under the NYSE listing requirements applicable to U.S. domestic issuers.

L. Identification of the Audit Committee

The Registrant has a separately designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. The members of the Audit Committee are Jennifer Maki, Neil de Gelder, and Chantal Gosselin, each of whom are independent as such term is defined under Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the NYSE. Further information about the Registrant’s Audit Committee can be found under the heading “Audit Committee” of the Registrant’s Annual Information Form for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Annual Report on Form 40-F.

M. Mine Safety

The Registrant is not currently required to disclose the information required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

N. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions that Prevent Inspections

Not applicable.
