Great Panther Silver is a Canadian mining company based in Vancouver, British Columbia.[1] The company was founded in 1965 and primarily engages in silver, gold, zinc, lead, and copper mining in Mexico, where it owns the Topia Mine and Guanajuato Mine.[2] In 2015 Great Panther Silver purchased Cangold and, two years later, acquired Nyrstar's Coricancha mine in Peru.[3][4]

In 2014 a trespasser was killed by guards at the Guanajuato Mine.[5] According to the company, illegal miners had "been entering the mine by force and with weapons, such that we have had to hire an armed security force".[6]

In 2017 Jim Bannantine succeeded Robert Archer as the company's chief executive officer.[7]
