Pan American Goldfields Ltd. ("Pan American" or the "Company") today announces that it has introduced several initiatives to reduce costs and rationalise its corporate administration organization and cost structure. This strategic business decision is part of the mandate to lower operating costs due to the current mining environment.
Outsourcing company finance, company secretarial services and corporate compliance functions will result in an annualized net reduction in costs. Commenting on these initiatives Mr. Emilio Alvarez, CEO stated, "This process of rationalising our cost structure is simply one component of a broader range of overall tightening in our finances which we have been implementing since the new Board appointments at the Annual General Meeting on June 17, 2013.
