• Joined the Russell Global Index and the Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners Index raising the Company profile with investment managers and institutional investors.
• On July 12, 2011, purchased the new Santa Rosa silver-gold project totalling 1,514 hectares, approximately 10 to 15 kilometres northeast of Guanajuato, Mexico for US$1.5 million, increasing land holdings in Guanajuato by 136%.
(1) Silver equivalent ounces in 2011 were established using prices of US$1,200 per oz of gold, US$20 per oz of silver, US$0.90 per lb of lead, and US$0.90 per lb of zinc.
(2) "Cash cost per ounce" is a non-IFRS measure and is used by the Company to manage and evaluate operating performance at each of the Company's mines and is widely reported in the silver mining industry as a benchmark for performance, but does not have a standardized meaning.
(3) "Adjusted EBITDA" is a non-IFRS measure in which standard EBITDA (earnings before interest expense, taxes, and depreciation and amortization) is adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and non-recurring items. Refer to the "Non-IFRS Measures" section of management's discussion and analysis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 for a reconciliation of standardized and adjusted EBITDA to the financial statements.
2011 OUTLOOK
As we reach the mid-point of our three-year growth strategy (2010 – 2012), production from both operations continues to grow, plant capacities have been increased to meet the anticipated demand, mineral resources are being updated and increased, and exploration drilling is being increased.
The new NI 43-101 Mineral Resource estimates for San Ignacio and Guanajuatito are being prepared for release later this year while the resources for other areas of Guanajuato will be updated as new drilling data is interpreted. The anticipated development of the San Ignacio Property combined with the improved mineral resources at Guanajuato and Topia support ongoing growth and increased throughput.
Operating efficiencies will allow for further increases such that production upside will remain at both mines. The recent drop in ore grades at both operations is being addressed as the cost per ounce at both mines is sensitive to grade. The 2012 mine plans will be confirmed once the drill results for the current programs have been interpreted, and mineral resources are updated.
In response to delays in shipments of concentrate from our Guanajuato mine stemming from technical reasons with our metal trader's smelter, we have been working directly with the trader and other concentrate purchasers in order to sell the balance. Consequently, we have reached a new agreement, with another mine operator in Mexico, whereby they will start processing Guanajuato concentrates on a monthly basis. We expect that this new arrangement, together with the existing contract, will allow us to sell the concentrate inventory on hand at Guanajuato through the balance of 2011.

The Gold Report Interview with Jay Taylor (7/29/11) "Great Panther Silver Ltd. is also cash flow positive. . . I do like the management. . . They do a great job of executing and lowering costs.
The big things there are underground mines and there are some limitations on how much ore can be pulled out. If the company is able to pull up some more ore in that vicinity, it could bode very well for longer term profits."
Highlights of the above observations include Alto 2 zone intersections from UG11-135 that returned 29.44g/t gold and 6,447g/t silver over a width of 3.20 metres, and UG11-137 that returned 7.38g/t gold and 2,114g/t silver over a width of 5.40 metres. The Alto 1a zone in UG11-137 returned 1.82g/t gold and 485g/t silver over a width of 4.80 metres, while the Veta Madre zone in UG11-133 returned 6.02g/t gold and 1,347g/t silver over a width of 2.25 metres. Highlights from the six drill holes completed to date in 2011 are tabulated below, along with several older holes not previously used in the mineral resource estimate.
UG11-135 is about Au 1 ounce per ton over about 10' in shallow level compare ex. to SA were some gold mines are 25000' below sea level - we have long way to go down :-)
history often repeat itself - the deeper we go down - the richer ore and wider the veins become :-) and more high grade treasures we find :-)
