said Robert Archer, President & CEO.
"Since its inception, Great Panther has endeavoured to be a
good corporate citizen by implementing industry best practices

in our hosting communities. We are proud of the efforts made
to improve the quality of life in the communities in which we
operate through social, health and safety, educational,
and environmental programmes."
The Company's Mexican subsidiary excelled in the following areas during 2010:
Quality of work within the Company
Corporate governance and ethical practices
Relationship with hosting communities
Environmental preservation
"Great Panther has voluntarily enrolled in CEMEFI's initiative
and will continue to do so going forward," said Eduardo Ortiz
Briones, Vice President of Corporate Relations in Mexico.
"We recognize that there are always opportunities for
improvement and by promoting an open dialogue with Great
Panther's stakeholders, we will continue to strive to minimize
environmental impacts while maximizing social and
economic benefits."
Great Panther Silver Limited is a profitable and rapidly growing
silver producer operating two 100%-owned mines in Mexico.
Its flagship operation, the Guanajuato Mine Complex, forms
part of the Guanajuato mining district, historically,
the second largest silver producing region in Mexico,
having produced more than one billion ounces of silver
since the year 1600.
Great Panther generates approximately 71% of its revenue
from silver and 20% from gold, making it very much a
precious metals company.
A small amount of lead-zinc is also produced as a by-product
at the Company's Topia Mine in Durango State.
