,
May 23, 2024
/CNW/ - Pan Global Resources Inc. ("Pan Global" or the "Company") (TSXV: PGZ) (OTCQX: PGZFF) (FRA: 2EU) is pleased
to announce the addition of a second drill rig at the Escacena Project to augment the planned 2024 drilling program at the Company's 100%-owned Escacena
Project in the Iberian Pyrite Belt, southern
Spain
.
"Building on the base of positive drill results to date and an exceptionally strong copper market we are adding a second drill rig to accelerate the planned drilling at
the Escacena Project while remaining on-budget for the current fully funded 2024 drilling program," said
Tim Moody
, President and CEO.
Escacena Project Update
Pan Global is advancing the planned 30-40 holes (approx. 8,000 – 12,000 meters) drill plan that started last year testing both the near-surface mineralization west
of the existing 1.5km surface strike extent at the La Romana copper-tin-silver deposit and also expanding the copper-gold-silver mineralization at the new Cañada
Honda discovery nearby. Approximately 70% of the planned drilling at the two discoveries has been completed.
Results are pending for three completed drill holes at Cañada Honda, and drilling at the Escacena Project continues. Progress is also being made on access to
the high-priority Bravo gravity target located east of the La Romana copper-tin-silver discovery, and work is expected to commence immediately on signing an
access agreement with the surface rights owner. The Company's geology team in
Spain
continues to advance the pipeline of new discovery opportunities for drill
testing.
In the first five months of 2024, Pan Global delivered excellent copper metallurgy (in March) and tin metallurgy results (April) as well as drill results confirming
expansion of mineralization at both the La Romana (January) and Cañada Honda (January, April) deposits.
