Producing gold, silver and lead in concentrates

BROOMFIELD, CO, Nov. 29 /PRNewswire/ - Further to its press release of November 9, 2010, Pan American Goldfields Ltd (OTCBB:"MXOM") (the "Company") is pleased to announce that the company's partner Minera Rio Tinto (MRT)  continues to increase production and optimize operations at the  Cieneguita project mill in Chihuahua, Mexico as projected previously. Pre-concentrate produced at the Cieneguita mill is shipped for further processing at MRT's mill at Choix, Mexico, where final concentrates are produced and shipped to the Trafigura warehouse in Manzanillo for sale under a contract with Trafigura.

Prior to the recent installation and commissioning of the ball mill and additional flotation cells, bulk sulfide pre-concentrate production included 380 tonnes in July, 462 tonnes in August, and 499 tonnes in September of 2010. In October, over 1,000 tonnes were produced, although only 702 tonnes were shipped due to the installation schedule associated with the filtration/drying equipment, which is now fully installed and operating. It is estimated that over 1,500 tonnes will be shipped in November, including the unshipped October production. 

Following further treatment at Choix, final lead and zinc concentrates are shipped for sale to Trafigura in Manzanillo, Mexico. Final concentrates produced and shipped to Trafigura during October and the first 10 days of November are summarized in the table below::

FINAL CONCENTRATE SHIPMENTS SENT FOR SALE TO TRAFIGURA
                         
Date of Shipment          Tonnes       Gold grams/tonne   Silver grams/tonne   Lead Content %
                         
October 10                       59.6       62   4,445   24
                         
October 22                    36.0       54   4,220   23
                         
November 4                  30.3       61   4,630   27
                         
November 10                 33.2       54   3,450   23

Another 100 tonnes is being readied for shipment as of the date of this press release.

"We are very pleased with progress to date as the initial production following the installation of the ball mill is as forecast," said Mario Ayub Chairman, Pan American Goldfields. 

MRT, the company's partner, has advised the Company that it expects to continue increasing pre-concentrate production at Cieneguita along with improved metal recoveries as the ball mill grinding process is fine-tuned. The amount of ore material mined and processed at Cieneguita is currently about 500 tons per day and it is intended to increase this amount to 600 tons per day by year end. This amount of ore production would relate to the production of approximately 260 tons of concentrate per month with metal contents similar to current concentrate shipments.  

About Cieneguita

The Cieneguita mill makes a bulk sulfide flotation concentrate that is sent to the MRT owned mill at Choix where it is then reground and separate lead and zinc concentrates produced. These concentrates are then shipped to the port at Manzanillo where they are sold under contract to the trading company Trafigura. Most of the gold and silver report to the lead concentrate. The anticipated increase in the production capacity at Cieneguita will not require any modifications to the plant at Choix. Pan American currently has a joint venture agreement with MRT under which MRT can earn 60% of the project by successfully initiating production on a small scale, followed by the funding of an additional $4 million toward the completion of a bankable feasibility study. With the completion of the construction start-up phase at Cieneguita, the focus will now be the acceleration of the feasibility study. This study will evaluate a full-scale operation which will target a production rate of about 5,000 tonnes of material processed per day along with saleable metal production directly from the Cieneguita site.

The technical information in this release has been prepared by Gary A. Parkison, CPG, a Director of the Company and a Qualified Person as defined by NI43-101.
