The Company is engaged in the production and sale of silver, gold and base metals including copper, lead and zinc as well as other related activities, including exploration, extraction, processing, refining and reclamation.  The Company’s primary product (silver) is produced in Peru, Mexico, Argentina and Bolivia.  Additionally, the Company has project development activities in Peru, Mexico and Argentina, and exploration activities throughout South America and Mexico.
 
2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
a.      Basis of Preparation
 
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and follow the same accounting policies applied and disclosed in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, with the exception of certain amendments to accounting standards issued by the IASB, which are applicable from January 1, 2012 and accounting policies described in Note 2(c) that reflect new policies arising from transactions that occurred in 2012.  The amendments do not have a significant impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.  Accordingly, these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, as they do not include all the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in Canada for complete financial statements.
 
In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been included.  Operating results for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2012.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2011.  Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to comply with current period presentation.  The most significant changes are in the presentation of the condensed interim consolidated statements of cash flows where the Company treats the acquisition of mineral, property, plant and equipment that is acquired through construction and equipment leases as non-cash items, and discloses interest paid and interest received as a separate line item.

 (Unaudited tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars except number of options and warrants and per share amounts)
 
 
c.      Significant Accounting Policies
 
Convertible Notes:
 
The Company has the right to pay all or part of the liability associated with the Company’s outstanding convertible notes in cash on the conversion date.  Accordingly, the Company classifies the convertible notes as a financial liability with an embedded derivative.  The financial liability and embedded derivative are recognized initially at their respective fair values.  The embedded derivative is subsequently recognized at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in profit or loss and the debt liability component is recognized at amortized cost using the effective interest method.  Interest gains and losses related to the debt liability component or embedded derivatives are recognized in profit or loss.  On conversion, the equity instrument is measured at the carrying value of the liability component and the fair value of the derivative component on the conversion date.
 
Derivatives:
 
Derivatives, including certain conversion options and warrants with exercise prices in a currency other than the functional currency, are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.
 
Heap Leach Inventory:
 
The costs incurred in the construction of the heap leach pad are capitalized. Heap leach inventory represents silver and gold contained in ore that has been placed on the leach pad for cyanide irrigation. The heap leach process is a process of extracting silver and gold by placing ore on an impermeable pad and applying a diluted cyanide solution that dissolves a portion of the contained silver and gold, which are then recovered in metallurgical processes. When the ore is placed on the pad, an estimate of recoverable ounces is made based on tonnage, ore grade and estimated recoveries of the ore type placed on the pad. The estimated recoverable ounces on the pad are used to compile the inventory value.
 
The Company uses several integrated steps to scientifically measure the metal content of ore placed on the leach pads. As the ore body is drilled in preparation for the blasting process, samples are taken of the drill residue which is assayed to determine estimated quantities of contained metal. On a routine basis, the estimated recoverable ounces carried in the leach pad inventory are adjusted based on actual recoveries being experienced. Actual and estimated recoveries achieved are measured to the extent possible using various indicators including, but not limited to, individual cell recoveries, the use of leach curve recovery, trends in the levels of carried ounces depending on the circumstances or cumulative pad recoveries.

The Company then processes the ore through crushing facilities where the output is again weighed and sampled for assaying. A metallurgical reconciliation with the data collected from the mining operation is completed with appropriate adjustments made to previous estimates. The crushed ore is then transported to the leach pad for application of the leaching solution. As the leach solution is collected from the leach pads, it is continuously sampled for assaying. The quantity of leach solution is measured by flow meters throughout the leaching and precipitation process. After precipitation, the product is converted to doré, which is the final product produced by the mine.

The inventory is stated at lower of cost or market, with cost being determined using a weighted average cost method. The ending inventory value of ounces associated with the leach pad is equal to opening recoverable ounces plus recoverable ounces placed less ounces produced plus or minus ounce adjustments.

The estimate of both the ultimate recovery expected over time and the quantity of metal that may be extracted relative to the time the leach process occurs requires the use of estimates which rely upon laboratory test work. Test work consists of 60 day leach columns from which the Company projects metal recoveries up to five years in the future. The quantities of metal contained in the ore are based upon actual weights and assay analysis. The rate at which the leach process extracts gold and silver from the crushed ore is based upon laboratory column tests and actual experience. The assumptions used by the Company to measure metal content during each stage of the inventory conversion process includes estimated recovery rates based on laboratory testing and assaying. The Company periodically reviews its estimates compared to actual experience and revises its estimates when appropriate.

 (Unaudited tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars except number of options and warrants and per share amounts)
 


The ultimate recovery will not be known until leaching operations cease.
 
Borrowing Costs:
 
Borrowing costs incurred are capitalized for qualifying assets. Qualifying assets are assets that require a significant amount of time to prepare for their intended use, including projects that are in the exploration and evaluation, development or construction stages. Qualifying assets also include significant expansion projects at our operating mines. Borrowing costs are considered an element of the historical cost of the qualifying asset. Capitalization ceases when the asset is substantially complete or if construction is interrupted for an extended period. Where the funds used to finance a qualifying asset form part of general borrowings, the amount capitalized is calculated using a weighted average of rates applicable to the relevant borrowings during the period. Where funds borrowed are directly attributable to a qualifying asset, the amount capitalized represents the borrowing costs specific to those borrowings. Where surplus funds available out of money borrowed specifically to finance a project are temporarily invested, the total borrowing cost is reduced by income generated from short-term investments of such funds.
 
d.      Changes in Accounting Standards
 
Accounting standards effective in 2013 and 2015 are disclosed in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011.  The Company anticipates that the most significant of these standards relate to the following:
 
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements establishes principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated financial statements when an entity controls one or more other entities. This standard (i) requires a parent entity (an entity that controls one or more other entities) to present consolidated financial statements; (ii) defines the principle of control, and establishes control as the basis for consolidation; (iii) sets out how to apply the principle of control to identify whether an investor controls an investee and therefore must consolidate the investee; and (iv) sets out the accounting requirements for the preparation of consolidated financial statements. IFRS 10 supersedes IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and SIC-12 Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early application permitted.  The Company does not anticipate the application of IFRS 10 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement defines fair value, sets out in a single IFRS a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. IFRS 13 applies when another IFRS requires or permits fair value measurements or disclosures about fair value measurements (and measurements, such as fair value less costs to sell, based on fair value or disclosures about those measurements), except for: share-based payment transactions within the scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment; leasing transactions within the scope of IAS 17 Leases;  measurements that have some similarities to fair value but that are not fair value, such as net realizable value in IAS 2 Inventories or value in use in IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the new guidance is expected to have on its consolidated financial statements.
 
IFRIC 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine clarifies the requirements for accounting for the costs of stripping activity in the production phase when two benefits accrue: (i) useable ore that can be used to produce inventory and (ii) improved access to further quantities of material that will be mined in future periods.  IFRIC 20 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 with earlier application permitted and includes guidance on transition for pre-existing stripping assets.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact the new guidance is expected to have on its consolidated financial statements.
 
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments is intended to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement in its entirety by the IASB in three main phases.  IFRS 9 will be the new standard for the financial reporting of financial instruments that is principles-based and less complex than IAS 39.  In November 2009 and October 2010, phase 1 of IFRS 9 was issued and amended, respectively, which addressed the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities.  IFRS 9 requires

that all financial assets be classified as subsequently measured at amortized cost or at fair value based on the Company’s business model for managing financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets.  Financial liabilities are classified as subsequently measured at amortized cost except for financial liabilities classified as at FVTPL, financial guarantees and certain other exceptions.  In response to delays to the completion of the remaining phases of the project, on December 16, 2011, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 which deferred the mandatory effective date of IFRS 9 from January 1, 2013 to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015.  The amendments also provided relief from the requirements to restate comparative financial statements for the effects of applying IFRS 9.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact the new guidance is expected to have on its consolidated financial statements.

Acquisition and Divesture
 
 
a.
Acquisition of Minefinders Corporation Ltd.
 
On March 30, 2012, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Minefinders Corporation Ltd. (“Minefinders”) for total consideration amounting to $1,264.3 million, comprising $1,088.1 million in common shares of Pan American, $165.4 million in cash, and $10.7 million in replacement options.  Minefinders was engaged in precious metals mining and has exploration properties in Mexico and the United States.  Minefinders’ primary mining property was its 100% owned Dolores gold and silver mine located in Chihuahua, Mexico. The acquisition is aligned with management’s objectives of enhanced operating and development portfolio diversification and mission to be the largest low-cost primary silver mining company worldwide.  The transaction was accounted for as a business combination with Pan American as the acquirer.

Under the terms of the arrangement former Minefinders shareholders who elected the full proration option received $1.84 and 0.55 of a Pan American share in respect of each of their Minefinders shares. Former Minefinders shareholders who elected the Pan American share option received 0.6235 Pan American shares and CDN$0.0001 for each of their Minefinders shares, and those who elected the cash option received CDN$2.0306 and 0.5423 of a Pan American share in respect of each of their shares.

Pan American exchanged and replaced all outstanding options at an exchange ratio of 0.6325 and at a strike price equivalent to the original strike prices divided by 0.6325.

Pan American share value utilized for valuing the consideration of shares issued was the closing price on March 30, 2012, the effective date of the transaction.
 
Replacement options were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  Assumptions used were as follows:
 
Dividend yield

$
1,264,256
 
Goodwill has been primarily recognized as a result of the requirement to record a deferred tax liability for the difference between the assigned values and the tax bases of assets acquired and liabilities assumed; none of this is deductible for tax purposes.
 
The incremental impact to the net earnings of the Company had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2012, for the six months ended June 30, 2012 would result in an increase in the Company’s net earnings of $9.4 million.  Accordingly, the Company’s net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2012 would be $103.7 million.  Total transaction costs incurred relating to the acquisition and recognized in the Condensed Interim Consolidated Income Statement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 amounted to $2.4 million and $16.2 million, respectively.  The cash flow from the acquisition of Minefinders, net of cash acquired amounted to $86.5 million.
 
As at the date these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were issued, the allocation of the purchase price has not been finalized.  The Company is currently in the process of determining the fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, measuring the associated deferred income tax assets and liabilities and determining the value of goodwill.
 
b.
Disposition of Mineral Property
 
On June 26, 2012, the Company announced that it completed the sale of its Quiruvilca operation, located in the northern Andean region of Peru, to Quiruvilca Ltd., a subsidiary of Southern Peaks Mining L.P.  Under the terms of the sale agreement, effective June 1, 2012, the Company sold 100% of its ownership interest in Quiruvilca for $2 million, subject to certain adjustments, and, at the Company’s election, either: (i) a 2% net smelter returns royalty on all saleable metals, exercisable when the price of silver is above $15 per ounce; the price of zinc is above $1,200 per tonne; and the price of copper is above $6,061 per tonne, or (ii) the price difference between $23 per ounce of silver and the market price on 50% of Quiruvilca’s future payable silver production for the applicable quarter; provided, however, that such payments will be capped at $3 million in any 12 month period until such time as Quiruvilca generates $25 million in EBITDA as calculated pursuant to the sale agreement.
 
Included in the gain on sale of assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 is the net gain arising from the sale of Quiruvilca of approximately $11.2 million shown in the table below. No value was assigned to the future contingent payments in calculating the gain on the sale of Quiruvilca.
 
The gain on sale of Quiruvilca was calculated as follows:
   
Consideration received ($0.5 million in cash and $1.5 million in accounts receivable)
$
2,000
Derecognition of working capital (including cash of $0.8 million)

investment revaluation reserve plus retained earnings with a balance of $2.8 billion as at June 30, 2012 (December 31, 2011 - $1.6 billion).  The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments based on changes to its economic environment and the risk characteristics of the Company’s assets. The Company’s capital requirements are effectively managed based on the Company having a thorough reporting, planning and forecasting process to help identify the funds required to ensure the Company is able to meet its operating and growth objectives.  The Company has a $150 million credit facility with a syndicate of international banks which has not been drawn.
 
The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and the Company’s overall strategy with respect to capital risk management remains unchanged from the year ended December 31, 2011.
 
5.
Financial Instruments
 
Overview
 
The Company has exposure to risks of varying degrees of significance which could affect its ability to achieve its strategic objectives for growth and shareholder returns.  The principal financial risks to which the Company is exposed are metal price risk, credit risk, foreign exchange rate risk, and liquidity risk.  The Company’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework and reviews the Company’s policies on an ongoing basis.
 
Metal Price Risk
 
Metal price risk is the risk that changes in metal prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its related financial instruments.  The Company derives its revenue from the sale of silver, gold, lead, copper, and zinc.  The Company’s sales are directly dependent on metal prices that have shown extreme volatility and are beyond the Company’s control.  Consistent with the Company’s mission to provide equity investors with exposure to changes in silver prices, the Company’s policy is to not hedge the price of silver.   The Company mitigates the price risk associated with its base metal production by committing some of its forecasted base metal production from time to time under forward sales and option contracts.  The Board of Directors continually assess the Company’s strategy towards its base metal exposure, depending on market conditions.  At June 30, 2012, the Company had 2,400 tonnes of lead under contract with a positive mark-to-market valuation of $0.5 million.
 
Credit Risk
 
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’s trade receivables.  The carrying value of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
 
The Company has long-term concentrate contracts to sell the zinc, lead and copper concentrates produced by the Huaron, Morococha, San Vicente and La Colorada mines.  Concentrate contracts are common business practice in the mining industry. The terms of the concentrate contracts may require the Company to deliver concentrate that has a value greater than the payment received at the time of delivery, thereby introducing the Company to credit risk of the buyers of our concentrates.  Should any of these counterparties not honour supply arrangements, or should any of them become insolvent, the Company may incur losses for products already shipped and be forced to sell its concentrates on the spot market or it may not have a market for its concentrates and therefore its future operating results may be materially adversely impacted.  At June 30, 2012, the Company had receivable balances associated with buyers of its concentrates of $34.4 million (December 31, 2011 - $40.5 million).  The vast majority of the Company’s concentrate is sold to seven well known concentrate buyers.
 
Silver doré production from La Colorada, Alamo Dorado, Dolores and Manantial Espejo is refined under long term agreements with fixed refining terms at three separate refineries worldwide.  The Company generally retains the risk and title to the precious metals throughout the process of refining and therefore is exposed to the risk that the refineries will not be able to perform in accordance with the refining contract and that the Company may not be able to fully recover precious metals in such circumstances.  At June 30, 2012, the Company had approximately $59.4 million (December 31, 2011 - $35.9 million) of value contained in

precious metal inventory at refineries.  The Company maintains insurance coverage against the loss of precious metals at the Company’s mine sites, in-transit to refineries and whilst at the refineries.
 
The Company maintains trading facilities with several banks and bullion dealers for the purposes of transacting the Company’s trading activities. None of these facilities are subject to margin arrangements.  The Company’s trading activities can expose the Company to the credit risk of its counterparties to the extent that our trading positions have a positive mark-to-market value.  However, the Company minimizes this risk by ensuring there is no excessive concentration of credit risk with any single counterparty, by active credit management and monitoring.
 
Refined silver and gold is sold in the spot market to various bullion traders and banks.  Credit risk may arise from these activities if the Company is not paid for metal at the time it is delivered, as required by spot sale contracts.
 
Management constantly monitors and assesses the credit risk resulting from its refining arrangements, concentrate sales and commodity contracts with its refiners, trading counterparties and customers.  Furthermore, management carefully considers credit risk when allocating prospective sales and refining business to counterparties.  In making allocation decisions, Management attempts to avoid unacceptable concentration of credit risk to any single counterparty.
 
The Company invests its cash which also has credit risk, with the objective of maintaining safety of principal and providing adequate liquidity to meet all current payment obligations.
 
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
 
The Company reports its financial statements in United States dollars (“USD”); however, the Company operates in jurisdictions that utilize other currencies.  As a consequence, the financial results of the Company’s operations as reported in USD are subject to changes in the value of the USD relative to local currencies.  Since the Company’s sales are denominated in USD and a portion of the Company’s operating costs and capital spending are in local currencies, the Company is negatively impacted by strengthening local currencies relative to the USD and positively impacted by the inverse.
 
To mitigate this exposure, from time to time the Company has purchased Peruvian New soles (“PEN”), Mexican pesos (“MXN”) and Canadian dollars (“CAD”) to match anticipated spending.  At June 30, 2012, the Company had no forward contracts to purchase foreign currencies.  The Company’s net earnings are affected by the revaluation of its monetary assets and monetary liabilities at each balance sheet date.  At June 30, 2012 the Company’s cash and short term investments includes $80.5 million in CAD, $34.5 million in MXN, and $2.7 million in PEN.
 
Liquidity Risk
 
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due.  The Company manages its liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecasted and actual cash flows.  The Company has in place a rigorous planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements and its expansion plans on an ongoing basis.  The Company strives to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations, its holdings of cash and short-term investments, and its committed loan facilities.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying value of share purchase warrants and the conversion feature on the convertible notes are stated at fair value and the carrying value of cash, trade and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity of these financial instruments.  Share purchase warrants with an exercise price denominated in a currency other than the Company's functional currency are classified and accounted for as financial liabilities and, as such, are measured at their fair values with changes in fair values included in net earnings.
 
The methodology and assessment of inputs for determining the fair value of financial assets and liabilities as well as the levels of hierarchy for the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value remains unchanged from that at December 31, 2011, except for the convertible notes assumed as part of the Minefinders acquisition.
 
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument.  These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgement and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Mineral Property, Plant and Equipment
 
Acquisition costs of investment and non-producing properties together with costs directly related to mine development expenditures are capitalized.  Exploration expenditures on investment and non-producing properties are charged to operations in the period they are incurred.
 
Capitalization of evaluation expenditures commences when there is a high degree of confidence in the project’s viability and hence it is very likely that future economic benefits will flow to the Company.  Evaluation expenditures, other than that acquired from the purchase of another mining company, are carried forward as an asset provided that such costs are expected to be recovered in full through successful development and exploration of the area of interest or alternatively, by its sale.  Evaluation expenditures include delineation drilling, metallurgical evaluations, and geotechnical evaluations amongst others.

Navidad Project, Argentina
 
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company capitalized $3.4 million and $6.9 million of evaluation costs at the Navidad Project in Argentina, respectively (2011 - $4.8 million and $9.4 million, respectively).
 
A change in the business climate as evidenced by the current inflationary environment in Argentina and a proposed change to the law submitted by the governor of the province of Chubut, Argentina (further discussed in Note 21), are indicators of a possible impairment of the Navidad project.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
As at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
 (Unaudited tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars except number of options and warrants and per share amounts)


At June 30, 2012, the Company tested the recoverability of its investment in the Navidad project as required under IFRS.  The Company used the most up to date internally developed technical information available, a long term silver price of $25 per ounce along with long term forecast base metal prices, a probability weighted range of possible outcomes related to the timing of the start of construction, taxation, regulatory and economic risks including a range of possible future exchange rates between the USD and Argentine peso ranging from 4.5 to 10.5 ARS/USD, and a risk adjusted project specific discount rate of 10.5%.  It was determined that the estimated realizable value of the Navidad project exceeded its carrying value; therefore, recognition of an impairment loss was not warranted at June 30, 2012.
 
La Preciosa Project, Durango, Mexico
 
In April 2009, Pan American and Orko Silver Corp. (‘‘Orko’’) entered into an agreement, pursuant to which Pan American and Orko agreed to develop the La Preciosa silver project located in the State of Durango, Mexico. Under the terms of the agreement, in order for the Company to retain its 55% interest in the project: (a) the Company must, in addition to contributing its mine development expertise, spend a minimum of $5 million in the first 12 months from the date of the Letter of Agreement (the condition was achieved as of the first quarter of 2010) and conduct resource definition drilling, acquire necessary surface rights, obtain permits, and prepare a feasibility study; and (b) following a positive construction decision, the Company must contribute 100% of the funds necessary for practical completion of an operating mine.  In exchange for its 45% interest in the venture, Orko agreed to contribute its exploration expertise and the La Preciosa Project and related concessions.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the exploration expense recognized arising from the La Preciosa project is $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively (2011 - $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively).
 
In April 2012, the Company provided notice to Orko that it decided not to deliver a feasibility study before April 13, 2012 for the La Preciosa project as required under the terms of the joint venture agreement between Orko and Pan American. As a result, Pan American relinquished its right to earn a 55% interest in the La Preciosa project and Orko will retain 100% of the project. After completing almost three years of exploration, engineering and project development work, the Company concluded that  continued participation in the La Preciosa project is unlikely to generate a rate of return that meets Pan American’s internal economic hurdle rate. Because the Company had no carrying value in this project, there was no loss on relinquishment of the project.
 
Morococha Mine, Peru
 
During the second quarter of 2010, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Compañia Minera Argentum S.A. (“Argentum”), reached an agreement with Minera Chinalco Perú (“MCP” or “Chinalco”), a subsidiary of the Aluminum Corporation of China which clearly defines each party’s long term surface rights in the area of the Morococha mine.  The primary focus of the agreement is on the lands and concessions around the Morococha mine and MCP’s Toromocho copper project. MCP requires certain lands and concessions in order to proceed with the development of Toromocho, including the surface lands within the planned open pit mining area of the Toromocho project.  While Argentum does not own this land, much of the Morococha mine infrastructure and facilities are located on this ground. 
 
Under the terms of the agreement, Argentum will relocate the core Morococha facilities over a 5 year period and transfer certain mineral concessions and access rights to MCP.  In exchange, Argentum will receive a package of surface rights, easements and other rights that are sufficient to relocate the facilities and to continue uninterrupted operations.  Lastly, Argentum will receive periodic cash payments from MCP totaling $40 million, of which, to June 30, 2012, the Company has received $13.8 million which has been utilized and offset against direct project related expenses or recognized as other income to the extent it represents a reimbursement of capital expenditures.  The Company has also entered into a funding arrangement whereby it has received advances towards some of the project capital expenditures in the amount of $25.6 million to date.  These advances are subject to an annualized interest rate of 2.2% which is paid monthly until the completion of the construction.  At the conclusion of construction these advance payments will be converted into a leasing arrangement.

As part of the Minefinders acquisition and pursuant to the First Supplemental Indenture Agreement, the Company issued replacement unsecured convertible senior notes with an aggregate principal amount of $36.2 million (the “Notes”).  Until such time as the earlier of December 15, 2015 and the date the Notes are converted, each Note shall bear interest at 4.5% payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year.  The principal outstanding on the Notes is due on December 15, 2015, if any Notes are still outstanding at that time.  The Notes are convertible into a combination of cash and Pan American shares.

On April 19, 2012, the Company entered into a Second Supplemental Indenture Agreement (the “Agreement”) as part of the Minefinders acquisition.  The terms of the Agreement stipulate the following:

If a Noteholder elects to convert all or part of its principal amounts of Notes on or prior to November 4, 2015, for each $1,000 principal amount of converted Notes, such Notes shall be converted at the discretion of Pan American, into:

a)
96.670 Preferred Shares (the “Conversion Rate”) upon conversion by a holder of Notes, the Company may issue Class A voting, participating, 6.5% cumulative convertible preferred shares in the capital of Minefinders (the “Preferred Shares”);
b)
an amount of cash equal to the Conversion Rate multiplied by CAD$1.84  plus the market value of 0.55 of a Pan American common share (the “Market Value of the Consideration”) at the time of such conversion; or

 (Unaudited tabular amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars except number of options and warrants and per share amounts)


c)
a combination of Preferred Shares and cash having a combined value equal to the Cash Equivalent Conversion Consideration which is the amount of cash equal to the Conversion Rate multiplied by the Market Value of the Consideration at the time of such conversion.

On November 4, 2015 each holder of Preferred Shares shall receive in exchange for each Preferred Share at the discretion of Pan American:

a)
CAD$1.84 and 0.55 of Pan American common shares;
b)
an amount of cash equal to the Market Value of the Consideration; or
c)
a combination of Pan American Shares and cash having a combined value equal to the Market Value of    the Consideration at November 4, 2015.

If the Noteholder elects to convert all or part of the principal amount of Notes held by such Noteholder after November 4, 2015, for each $1,000 principal amount of converted Notes, the Notes shall be converted, at the option of Pan American into:

a)
the number of Preferred Shares equal to the Conversion Rate;
b)
an amount of cash equal to the Cash Equivalent Conversion Consideration that is 1.84 plus 0.55 Pan American shares multiplied by the average of the Daily VWAP of Pan American shares for the 10 consecutive Pan American trading days commencing on the first Pan American trading day after the date of the Company’s notice of election to deliver the conversion consideration in cash or a combination of Preferred shares and cash if the Noteholder has not given a notice of redemption pursuant to the terms of the Agreement; or
c)
such combination of Preferred Shares and cash having a combined value equal to the Cash Equivalent Conversion Consideration.  For purposes of this clause each Preferred Share shall be deemed to have a value equal to the Market Value of the Consideration at the time of conversion, and immediately there upon, each preferred share so issued, shall be automatically exchanged for a Consideration Unit of CAD$1.84 plus the market value of 0.55 of a Pan American common share.
 
The interest and principal amounts of the Notes are classified as debt liabilities and the conversion option is classified as a derivative liability.  The debt liability is measured at amortized cost.  As a result, the carrying value of the debt liability is lower than the aggregate face value of the Notes.  The unwinding of the discount is accreted as interest expense over the terms of the notes using an effective interest rate.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, $0.8 million was capitalized to mineral property, plant and equipment (June 30, 2011 – nil).  The Company has the right to pay all or part of the liability associated with the Company’s outstanding convertible notes in cash on the conversion date.   Accordingly, the conversion feature on the convertible notes is considered an embedded derivative and re-measured at fair value each reporting period.  The fair value of the conversion feature of the convertible notes is determined using a model that includes the volatility and price of the Company’s common shares and a credit spread structure with reference to the corresponding fair value of the debt component of the convertible notes. Assumptions used in the fair value calculation of the embedded derivative component at June 30, 2012 were expected stock price volatility of 51%, expected life of 3.4 years, and expected dividend yield of 0.7%.
 
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded a gain on the revaluation of embedded derivative on the convertible notes of $8.4 million (2011 – nil).

the counterparty to the replacement debenture has indicated its intention to elect the silver stream alternative.  The final contract for the alternative is being discussed and pending the final resolution to this alternative, the Company continues to classify the fair value calculated at the acquisition of this alternative, as a deferred credit.

15.
Share Capital and Employee Compensation Plans
 
The Company has a comprehensive stock compensation plan for its employees, directors and officers.  The plan provides for the issuance of common shares and stock options, as incentives.  The maximum number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to options granted or bonus Shares issued under the 2008 Plan may be equal to, but will not exceed 6,461,470 Shares.  The exercise price of each option shall be the weighted average trading price of the Company’s stock for the five days prior to the award date.  The options can be granted for a maximum term of 10 years with vesting provisions determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.  Any modifications to the stock Compensation Plan require shareholders’ approval.
 
The Board has developed long term incentive plan (“LTIP”) guidelines, which provides annual compensation to the senior managers of the Company based on the long term performance of both the Company and the individuals that participate in the plan.  The LTIP consists of an annual grant of options to senior management to buy shares of the Company and a grant of the Company’s common shares with a two year no trading legend.  The options are combination of five year options which vest evenly in three annual instalments and seven year options which vest evenly in two annual instalments.  Options and common shares granted under the LTIP plan are based on employee salary levels, individual performance and their future potential.  The Compensation Committee oversees the LTIP on behalf of the Board of Directors.  The LTIP plan guidelines can be modified or suspended, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors. Additionally, from time to time, the Company issues replacement options and warrants related to acquisitions.
 
As part of the Minefinders acquisition each Minefinder option holder was provided a replacement option that is exercisable to purchase Pan American shares.  The number of Pan American shares the replacement option holder is entitled to purchase equals 0.6235 multiplied by the number of Minefinders shares subject to the  Minefinders Option (rounded down to the nearest whole number of Pan American shares).  The exercise price per Pan American share equals the exercise price per Minefinders share otherwise purchasable pursuant to the current Minefinders Option, divided by 0.6235 (rounded up to the nearest whole cent).
 
On March 30, 2012, the Company issued 1,760,705 replacement options with a fair value of $10.7 million.  Replacement options were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  Assumptions used were a dividend yield of 0.26%, expected volatility of 40.75%, risk free interest rate of 0.93% and expected life of 0.25 to 3.5 years.

The Company’s share purchase warrants are classified and accounted for as a financial liability at fair value with changes in fair value included in net earnings.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, there was a derivative gain related to the warrants of $12.8 million and $15.5 million, respectively (2011 – gains of $36.5 million and $64.1 million, respectively).
 
The conversion feature on the convertible notes, further discussed in Note 13, is also considered an embedded derivative and re-measured at fair value each reporting period.  Total net gains on derivatives, for both the share purchase warrants and the embedded derivative on the convertible notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 were $21.2 and $23.9 million, respectively (2011- gains of $36.5 million and $64.1 million, respectively).
 
The Company uses the Black Scholes pricing model to determine the fair value of the Canadian dollar denominated warrants.  Assumptions used are as follows:

Key Employee Long Term Contribution Plan
 
An additional element of the Company’s compensation structure is a retention program known as the Key Employee Long Term Contribution Plan (the “2008 Contribution Plan”).  The 2008 Contribution Plan was approved by the directors of the Company on June 2, 2008 in response to a heated labour market situation in the mining sector, and is intended to reward certain key employees of the Company over a fixed time period for remaining with the Company.  On May 15, 2012, the directors of the Company approved the extension of the Key Employee Long Term Contribution Plan (the “2012 Contribution Plan”), to be effective on June 1, 2012.
 
The 2008 Contribution Plan is a four year plan with a percentage of the retention bonus payable at the end of each year of the program.  The 2008 Contribution Plan design consists of three bonus levels that are commensurate with various levels of responsibility, and provides for a specified annual payment for four years starting in June 2009.  Each year, the annual contribution award was paid in the form of either cash or shares of the Company.  The minimum aggregate value that was to be paid in cash or issued in shares over the 4 year period of the plan was $10.9 million.  As of June 30, 2012, $0.2 million remains to be paid as described in Note 5.  No shares will be issued from the treasury pursuant to the Contribution Plan without the prior approval of the plan by the shareholders of the Company and any applicable securities regulatory authorities.
 
The 2012 Contribution Plan is a two year plan with a percentage of the retention bonus payable at the end of each year of the program.  The 2012 Contribution Plan design consists of three bonus levels that are commensurate with various levels of responsibility, and provides for a specified annual payment for two
