Pan American Silver is one of the best silver producers. They plan to increase silver production from 25 million oz to 30 million oz. As long as silver prices stay high, they are going to be a cash flow machine. Cash costs in 2017 will be around $7 per oz. I would estimate all-in costs (free cash flow) around $13 per oz. They have $205 million in cash and only $43 million in debt. They are extremely leveraged for higher silver prices with such a good balance sheet. They will be able to grow and pay a high dividend.
They are no longer cheap, selling at $2.75 per oz for future reserves. There are really no red flags with this stock. They do have mines in Bolivia and Argentina, which creates location risk. They could lose production from their Bolivian mine at 3 million oz per year (if it were to be nationalized), but they can make up for that from their 5 development projects. Also, I expect them to buy a few projects with their cash flow. Plus, they have 5 million oz of gold resources, producing 150,000 oz annually, which they are using to reduce their cash costs.
If silver mining stocks come into favor for investors, this stock could do really well. It's trading at $18.08 today, but reaching $100 would not be that big of a surprise. Pan American, First Majestic, Endeavour Silver, and Hecla Mining are all basically the same: strong companies that are likely 3-5 baggers. At its current valuation, Pan American might be the best bet from a risk/reward standpoint.
Long term at $100 silver, you could get 30 million oz x $75 per oz free cash flow = $2 billion in cash flow. If they get valued at 10x cash flow, that will make them a potential $20 billion market cap at $100 silver. The FD market cap is currently $2.7 billion. The stock bottomed in January 2016 at $5.63.

Notes
Cash costs for silver are about $7 per oz, net of byproduct.
Email from their investment advisor on 10/17/2013:
We are a primary silver mining company and as such we use a silver-mining standard convention to calculate our production costs based on the amount of silver we produce. Gold, zinc, lead and copper are treated as by-products and revenue received from those by-products is used to offset the costs of producing silver. As such, our cash costs are estimated on a per ounce of silver, net of by-product credit basis. We do not calculate our costs in any other way.
