Our Strategy & Approach

Our Environmental Policy is Pan American’s public commitment to biodiversity conservation and rehabilitation of impacted land in the areas where we operate. It underscores our commitment to avoid exploring or developing mines in internationally designated protected areas.

Through compliance with the Policy, we are able to design, construct, and operate with the intention of minimizing our impacts on biodiversity throughout the mine lifecycle in order to preserve biodiversity habitat and the surrounding ecosystems for future generations.

Plans, Programs and Initiatives

• We are committed, as stated in our Environmental Policy, to generating a net neutral or positive impact on the habitat and biodiversity over the mine life cycle at each of our sites. This commitment often drives rehabilitation and habitat creation on nearby degraded land unaffected by mining.
• Biodiversity and community impact assessments are conducted prior to construction in new areas or developing new projects in order to identify threats to biodiversity from our operations.
• Engagement with Communities of Interest (COIs) on issues related to biodiversity conservation helps us manage our impacts and tailor our programs to include community interests and local knowledge.
• Progressive reclamation restores biodiversity through rehabilitating disturbed areas no longer required for mining activities.

2025 Goals

• Complete 29 hectares of remediation and revegetation at Alamo Dorado and Dolores.
• Rehabilitate 35 hectares across all our operations.
