Pan American now the largest publicly traded silver company

Vancouver-headquartered Pan American Silver has established itself as the world’s largest publicly traded silver mining company by free float, following the completion of the acquisition of TSX- and NYSE-listed Tahhoe Resources.

Pan American announced on Friday that it had completed the $1.07-billion transaction and that the shares of Nevada-based Tahoe would be delisted from the TSX on February 26, and from the NYSE on March 4.
