Thank you, Catena and good morning and welcome to Pan American’s third quarter earnings release conference call. What a difference a year makes, only 12 months ago we were in the midst of the global economic crisis it our financial markets and complete this array. Metals prices were collapsing and with them the share prices in the company’s like ours that produce metals were in free fall. It is truly rewarding today to be able to talk to you about our third quarter and to realize that the extremely difficult decisions and consequent actions that we undertook a year ago have clearly paid dividends. “What are those dividends?” First, we produced a new quarterly company record of 6.4 million ounces of silver up 31% from the same period a year ago and up 10% as compared to our second quarter of this year. Second, our quarterly gold production also climbed to over 28,000 ounces, also a new company record and up another 12% from the second quarter of this year, which was also a company record at that time. Gold is now clearly our most significant byproduct, accounting for almost 20% of our total l revenues. Third, our consolidated cash costs declined 26% to $4.91 per ounce, well below our full year forecast of $6 per ounce. This is extremely gratifying, as we’ve been able to hang on to the massive cost decline we reported earlier this year. Fourth, our cash flow from operating activities before working capital adjustments was a very healthy $43 million or $0.50 per share with the majority of that cash making its way directly into our bank account and finally, we posted net income of $17.4 million or $0.20 per share, an increase of 172% as compared to the third quarter of last year and $7.2 million higher than our second quarter of this year. Clearly, the swift recovery in the price of both silver and gold, and to a lesser extends the recovery in base metal prices have contributed to this performance, but there’s no doubt in my mind that the actions and plans we implemented a year ago, when we are in full on crisis mode have allowed us to post one of the best quarters in the company’s history. With that, I’d like to turn it over to Steve, Michael and Rob, who are joining me here this morning. Who I know will provide you with additional color and commentary on our operation, our development projects, our exploration programs, and our financial condition. Steve.

Thank you, Geoff and good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I’m very proud of all of our operations and project accomplishments during the third quarter and pleased to be able to provide you a more detailed description of our performance. Starting off in Argentina, we had a solid state operating at Manantial Espejo, where we produced just over one million ounces of silver at an excellent cash cost of negative $3.11 per ounce, thanks to better than planned gold production of over 20,000 ounces that better than forecasted gold prices. We have successfully repaired the failed grinding mill motor, that I described last quarter, without incurring any material disruptions to our production and have been steadily improving operating performance ever since. The plant processed nearly 170,000 tons of ore in the quarter, which is 92% of over designed capacity and we have reached design capacity during the months of September and October. The silver mill feed grades for the quarter at Manantial Espejo was 214 grams per ton and 88% was recovered, just shy of our expectations. However, this was more than offset with the better than expected gold grade of 3.9 grams per ton and better than expected gold recoveries of plus 95%. We are expecting slightly improved silver production at similar cash cost production from Manantial Espejo in the fourth quarter of this year as our initial employee training efforts are now being enhanced with real time experience and the local operator gaining more confidence in their own abilities resulting in a stable operating environment. Our Peruvian operations produced just over 2 million ounces of silver in the quarter, at a cash cost of $8 per ounce of silver, which is right on our previous production forecast from the second quarter despite continuing to incur higher smelting costs with…

Thank you, Steve. Good morning. Q3 better only a quarter of record silver and gold production, but also a record quarter for our exploration drilling, we completed over 28 ounces and 500 meters of diamond and RC drilling in our Brown & Greenfield programs, including La Preciosa silver project in Mexico. Year-to-date, this standard 65,800 meters of drilling at our operations and projects, already beyond our full year planned program of 53,000 meters. Martha is an up to 40 meter wide structural corridor containing several sets of more narrow high grade veins, did lower grade into wells. DP 09374 returned 32 meter 68 at 245 grams silver, and 0.38 grams gold, including the high grade rain of 3 meter at 1.17 grams silver and 2.18 grams gold. All 359 return 34.77 meters have 202 grams silver and gold 3072 return 22.45 meters at 289-gram silver and 0.51 grams gold. Additional detail from these and other holds have been published by Orko Silver in September ‘08, 2009. Most of the holes serve to infield drilling for the mark of structure as far at the most important structure on site, but also some around in new exploration targets like the La Oroya and product team events have been partially drilled and more exploration targets will be tested in the coming months. Infield drilling will continue with the maximum spacing of 50 meters in order to upgrade part of the resource into Marta indicated categories. Besides the drilling we work very active on preliminary resource modeling and possible mining methods. The technical studies are in progress and metallurgical work is advancing well rotation and time at reached us. Our goal is to complete the feasibility study and be position to make a production decision by the end of 2010. The Brownfield programs of…

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Our financial results in Q3, 2009 were just what you would expect from Pan American. Given our grand production base and the improving price environment for metal we produce. We reported record sales of $118.6 million to the 49% increase from a year ago on the back of record silver and gold production. Our mine operating earnings were a solid $34.7 million more than double mine operating earnings from a year ago and up 48% from Q2. Net income was $17.4 million, which equals $0.20 per share, again more than double net income from a year ago and up 70% from Q2. Cash flow generated from operations before working capital movement was $43.3 million, bearing any double to $22.1 million from one year ago and 20% higher than Q2. The strong cash flow from operations and capital expenditure significantly reduced to $5.8 million for the quarter, we banked $28 million in cash during the quarter. These excellent results could have been even better had we been able to sale more of the metal we produced during the quarter. However, concentrate shipments and Doe Run refining schedules around quarter end resulted and as building upon inventory position by almost 400,000 ounces of silver, 4000 ounces of gold and 9600 tons of zinc concentrate during the quarter. We’ll be rising hard to reduce these inventory levels and recognize the associated sales and profits with this third quarter production in the fourth quarter. “What is the heart of our improving financial results?” There are two main factors. Firstly, the addition of high margin production from the Manantial Espejo and San Vicente mines, which have ramped up extremely smoothie reaching commercial production in the first quarter of operation off the construction activities. Secondly, the continuation in and recovery of…

Thanks, Rob. Okay, you have now heard in detail what we accomplished last quarter. Now let’s look at where Pan American is headed in and why I remain as optimistic as ever about the prospects to the balance of the year and beyond. We are maintain our production forecast for 2009, and are planning to produce 25.1 million ounces of silver, not including the production from our Quiruvilca mine, which is still moving toward care and maintenance. Although at current price levels we maybe compelling to revisit this decision. We are maintaining our cash cost forecast of $6 per ounce for the year, but I think it is safe to say that we are very likely do much better, given the fact to the first nine months of 2009 our cash cost were $5.57 per ounce. We should more than double actually almost triple our gold production this year, and like silver are maintaining our 2009 guidance for gold at 85,000 ounces. Again, frankly, given the fact that we have already produced over 74,000 ounces of gold so far this year I think we will do quite a bit better here. As Michael indicated we are going to continue to aggressively explore at all of our operations with particular emphasis at Manantial Espejo, San Vicente and obviously La Colorada. Just because I think it is worth repeating, we have clearly discovered an exciting new extension at the MCTU zone at the La Colorada mine. 6.65 meters at over 2 kilos of silver per ton, which is almost 22 feet at 65 ounces of silver per ton has to register as one of the best drill holes that Pan American has ever had. All I can say is stay tuned as we continue to explore this tremendous target. We are going…

(Operator Instructions) Your first question comes from Steven Butler - Canaccord Adams

Question for you guys and I guess and Rob I guess for you. You mentioned the shipments of lower than production 400,000 ounces of silver, 4,000of gold, 9600 tons, I think it was zinc. What was that earnings impact or revenue impact of that would be roughly, I think you said $10.3 billion build in working capital? What would be the related earnings as best you would estimate that could fall into Q4 from Q3 assuming Q3 prices?

We haven’t done that analysis. I mean just as a rough guideline, the increase in inventory number you quoted there of $10.3 million, that’s of course the cost if you apply in our mine operating earnings margin to that cost basis, you might get some idea of, what we would expect in terms of operating earnings on that inventory, but that would be about the earnings guidance I could give you right now. We haven’t done that analysis.

I can help you a little bit there, Steve. I think our average cash cost you saw was just under $5. As 400,000 ounces we treat this zinc and gold as byproducts as you know. So you are looking at $17 prices, you’re look at $12 margins on those prices. So that would not be a bad guideline to use and then apply a 30% tax rate to it.

I think we can work that out, Geoff. Michael, on the La Colorada is it’s the NC2 zone, is I correct? Where it spatially again? I think you said a couple hundred meters below and what’s the rough dimensions of the zone if terms of strike with depth?

I think one of our main veins that we are mining at the moment in the upper levels, through producing the sulfide for our sulfide plant mostly and this is the continuation deeper down and further to the east. So the dimension that I know from upper levels is about 750 meters long. I mentioned that, we drilled the deepest hole 200 meters down, we drilled out about 250 meter this month close to 300 meters, so less than half of this land. I have some indication on the other half, that one or two holes we drilled that high grade continues to, how deep it’s going to go down, I can’t tell you at the moment. It’s in limestone, we see start getting some realized replacement structures on replacement in mantos in this limestone, but compared to how deep it goes down at one of the limitations we have is a pretty big crosscut to drill this in a good angle. It come probably from surface, because it’s too deep down, but the drill is opposite from our levels that we currently access for production. So stay tune for the drilling during the coming months as we continue to east, but rough dimension I think that you should look at the mantos about 750 meters by maybe 200 meters down.

Thickness roughly?

Average rig about 5 meters will be good.

Your next question comes from Chris Lichtenheld - UBS.

Just first on the Doe Run situation. The alternative that you’re taking in term of concentrates, it doesn’t look like it has gotten a whole lot worse relative to the second quarter. Is that true that in terms of steady state until you get La Oroya back in the earning?

That is true. In fact we’ve probably seen a fairly significant improvement in the concentrate market. So we have many managed to commit some of your 2010 production into contracts to other buyers of concentrate at significantly better terms than we realized in Q2 or Q3. So there’s some relief in that market by the looks of it.

Can you just remind us as you move at Alamo Dorado, as you move into the next phase now? What silver and gold grades might look like over the next couple of quarter and how many quarters until you expect, you may get backup to higher grades in second phase?

While we’re mining stripping down that pit will probably be seeing grades drop to the 90, somewhere between 80 and 100 grams I would say, and once we’re back into the high grade, we’ll see the plus 125 to 150 type gram.

Gold will move similarly, or is it the whole little more for steady?

Gold is a little bit more steady, but we do expect it to drop back to the more historic kind of 0.3 gram range, but yes, it somewhat follows that silver to some degree.

Just last question on the out line offer if I can, I think are you seeking an opinion from the urgency Argentina Antitrust Security and I’m just wondering if you can update us as to the timing on when that opinion may come or how does if you have any feedback?

Yes, Chris, we made application especially as in advanced drilling and we did that basically on the day, we mailed and we’re expecting a reply in 30 days. I can tell you that it’s our, Argentine Legal Counsel tells us this is kind of just a matter of due course, that there is no concern that will have any problems with the antitrust ruling. It’s just a matter of making the application.

Your next question comes from Haytham Hodaly - Salman Partners.

Just a couple of easy questions, what do you expect your run rate G&A for your run rate next year to look like next year?

This is a bit of an unusual quarter worse, I think above $4 million, we had a couple of compensation related catch up accruals to do. I think, we’ve been running prior to that in both between $2.7 million to $3 million a month or a quarter, and I don’t expect that should be our normalized rate.

Then maybe just effective tax rate guidance for next year maybe...?

It should be coming in around 30% as we were this quarter.

In terms of timing of closing of the Aquiline, what’s time and again refreshing my memory?

The expiring date for tendering Aquiline shares’ is December 7, at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, subject to us there is a period likely extension of 10 days that as per our agreement on the support, or excuse me on the support agreement, but it’s December 7 is the date.

Your next question comes from John bridges - JP Morgan.

The inventory this 400,000 ounces, how much of that is actually going to be available? How much is simply filling up the pipeline as you expand your operations?

That’s actually out turned material. It’s not in the circuits anywhere. It’s simply material that just for timing and location of where that material was in the transportation it didn’t get sold. So, that’s not a matter of pipeline, so I guess, it’s just exactly where it was in our sales process.

On your lower cash cost, how much of that was related to base metals maybe concentrate adjustments helping you this quarter?

The base metal and by-product, it’s not just base metal, it’s gold by-product now coming out of Manantial Espejo in Q3 2008, our by-products credits were about $8.27 per ounce, this year, that same number was about $9.69 an ounce. So you can see there’s roughly $1 plus in there that related strictly to metal prices, and as well, increased gold quantities and we’re producing more gold now. Just one further point you raise the additional price adjustments. Actually, we did significant adjustments in Q3, which I was quite surprised at. It was only about a $300,000 benefit from sales provisions are being priced in Q2 that were repriced in Q3. It was just a function of when open QPs were actually finalized given that actually passes traded flat to slightly down in July, but for the quarter it was only about a $300,000 benefit.

I’m glad that you guys are surprised by these things too.

That’s totally unpredictable.

Then finally, are there any dates that we can look to for progress with respect to the rules in pit mining in Argentina next year?

As I said in our conference, when we announced the deal, we had some meetings with some very senior official from industrial government and much of that discussion is going to remain confidential. Here what I said on that call, I’m going repeat it is “If the acquisition closes as we expect in the middle of December and we’re going to immediately start a three prong program of drilling, metallurgical testing, environmental impact assessment, and feasibility study.” I guess that’s four prongs not three. We would expect to produce a feasibility study in approximately 12 to 14 months time. I do not believe that the mining was in schedule will have any impact on us, whatsoever when we reach the end of that timeframe and are ready to make a production decision.

Your next question comes from David Christie - Scotia Capital.

Just a quick review on the provisional pricing, so 300,000, mark-to-market for the quarter was there any settlement gains?

That was a combination of...

That’s the combination. For Aquiline and for the Navidad project, what are your spend next year as far as drilling etc.?

We’re just doing our budget reviews in a couple of week’s time actually and obviously, we’re assuming that we are successful. I would anticipate us spending somewhere in the neighborhood of $10 million to $15 million in 2010, but that is subject to the meeting that I’ve just talked about.

Your final question comes from Karen Lazarovic - KLP Capital Management.

I was wondering, what your hedging program is if have on and what I would look like for 2010?

The company’s philosophy firstly on silver is not to hedge the exposure that we have to silver. So our hedging program is really confined to byproducts particularly base metals and from time-to-time currencies. The moment we have a very small residual zinc program in place, which runs out at the ends of December and the same that goes to our currencies. We have a small Mexican peso and Peruvian sol position, which also in December. So for 2010, we actually won’t have any hedge positions open. However, the subcommittee of the Board of Directors and the Hedge Committee does review those businesses from time-to-time and we maybe adding to them depending on the circumstances.

So for your gold byproducts you get the spot price?

That’s correct.

There are no further questions at this time. I would like to turn the call over to Geoff Burns, President and CEO. Please go ahead, sir.

Thank you, operator. Thanks everybody for joining us this morning and we will look forward to talking to you again in the coming months, hopefully to discuss a successful transaction with Aquiline and to update you on our advances at La Colorada in term of exploration and finally to probably talk about our year end earnings early in 2010. Thanks very much.
