Pan Global Drilling Continues to Expand Near Surface Copper-Tin Mineralization at La Romana and Drilling Commences at Nearby La Jarosa, Escacena Project, Southern Spain 10.1m at 2.5% CuEq, including 5.35m at 4.2% CuEq Assays up to 2.96% Sn associated with cassiterite
Pan Global Drilling Continues to Expand Near
Surface Copper-Tin Mineralization at La
Romana and Drilling Commences at Nearby La
Jarosa, Escacena Project, Southern Spain
10.1m at 2.5% CuEq, including 5.35m at 4.2% CuEq
Assays up to 2.96% Sn associated with cassiterite
La Romana mineralization expanded further to the West
Drilling commences at the La Jarosa target within the recently granted Al Andaluz permit
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 3, 2022) - Pan Global Resources Inc. (TSXV:
PGZ) (OTC Pink: PGNRF) ("Pan Global" or the "Company") is pleased to announce new drill results and
the expansion of the La Romana mineralized target area at the Escacena Project in the Iberian Pyrite
Belt, southern Spain. Exploration is also in progress on the adjoining Al Andaluz permit area within the
Escacena Project where drilling has commenced at the La Jarosa target.
Tim Moody, Pan Global President and CEO states: "The latest results further confirm that high-grade
copper mineralization continues near to surface at La Romana, with recent drilling returning more than
2% Cu over 10.1m from less than 10m below surface. The new drill results also extend the copper and
tin mineralization to the west and show that the mineralization is wide open in several directions. It should
also be noted that further results are also awaited for more than 20 drill holes."
Mr. Moody added: "These latest results are very encouraging and continue to expand the near surface
high-grade copper/tin target at La Romana, the first of several gravity targets on the Escacena Project.
Following the recent grant of the Al Andaluz permit we have rapidly mobilized a drill rig and are excited to
have commenced drilling the first hole at the La Jarosa copper target, some 4 km from La Romana. An
extensive exploration program is also now in progress, including gravity and surface geochemistry
surveys, and a high-resolution airborne electromagnetic survey due to begin within the next two-weeks.
Once data is available from this work the Company plans to commence a substantial follow up drill
program throughout 2022."

Drill results
The latest drill results are from nine holes completed in 2021 in the Phase 4 drill program at the La
Romana discovery. Drill holes LRD90 and 92 tested near-surface extension up-dip from previous drill
holes LRD05 and LRD31, respectively. Drill holes LRD98, 99 and 104 were aimed at extending the
mineralization to the west. LRD 82, 83 and 88 tested down-dip extensions and hole LRD87 tested for
mineralized extensions in the far east of the target area.
Drill hole locations are shown in Figure 1 and summary cross sections with holes LRD83 to LRD90 are
provided in Figure 2 above.
Drill hole collar information is provided in Table 1 below. Assay results are summarized in Table 2. The
drill holes were all inclined towards the south or southwest and all reported drill intervals are approx. true
thickness.

No adjustments were made for metal recovery as the project is an early-stage exploration project and metallurgical data to allow for estimation of
recoveries is not yet available.
Pan Global Resources defines Copper Equivalent (CuEq) calculation for exploration reporting and comparative
purposes only. Copper-equivalence calculated as: CuEq (%) = Cu (ppm) + (Sn (ppm) × 3.875) + (Ag (ppm) x 94.63) / 10000, utilizing metal prices
of Cu - USD$7,441 per tonne, Sn - USD$30,000 per tonne and Ag - USD$22.8 per oz. Metal prices used: Copper USD$7,741 per tonne, Silver
USD$22.66 per Troy oz and Tin USD$30,000 per tonne. The metal values are approx. based on LME 2020-2021 average Copper and Silver
settlement prices and LME 2021 average tin settlement prices (rounded down).
The results add near-surface copper and tin mineralization in the west and extends the mineralization to
more than 1.2km strike. The latest drill results continue to show that the mineralization remains wide
open in the west, up-dip and down-dip in some sections. The copper mineralization appears to plunge to
the northeast where it remains open.
The primary mineralization includes mainly stockwork, semi-massive sulphides and bands of massive
sulphide, with chalcopyrite as the primary copper mineral and cassiterite as the only observed tin
mineral. The copper mineralization is also associated with elevated levels of silver, cobalt and gold. A
metal zonation is also apparent, progressing from copper and tin in the west to copper and zinc in the
east.

the La Romana discovery.
Al Andaluz Exploration Program
A major exploration program is planned for the recently granted Al Andaluz permit area, including:
a high resolution airborne electromagnetic (AEM) survey due to commence in the next two weeks;
regional ground gravity surveys over the entire area;
soil and rock geochemical sampling survey over selected targets;
ground geophysics over targets selected from the AEM;
detailed gravity and geochemical surveys over selected targets; and
drilling.
The 2022 plan includes up to 20,000m of drilling at the Escacena Project (approx. 40 to 60 holes), most
of which will test targets generated from the regional surveys. A significant follow-up drill program
(meterage to be determined) is also expected in the second half of 2022.
Drilling has commenced on the La Jarosa target in Al Andaluz designed to follow-up the historic Exxon
drill hole PJ2 1985 which intersected 9.5m at 1.42% Cu. A second drill hole is also planned to test dip
extensions to the mineralization. The Exxon drill hole was never followed up and the drill core is no longer
available to verify the results. The Company makes no representation as to the reliability or accuracy of
the historical Exxon drill results.
QA/QC
Core size was HQ (63mm) and all samples were ½ core. Nominal sample size was 1m core length and
ranged from 0.4 to 2m. Sample intervals were defined using geological contacts with the start and end of
each sample physically marked on the core. Diamond blade core cutting and sampling was supervised
at all times by Company staff. Duplicate samples of ¼ core were taken approximately every 30 samples
and Certified Reference materials inserted every 25 samples in each batch.
Samples were delivered to ALS laboratory in Seville, Spain and assayed at the ALS laboratory in
Ireland. All samples were crushed and split (method CRU-31, SPL22Y), and pulverized using (method
PUL-31). Gold analysis was by 50gm Fire assay with ICP finish (method Au-ICP22) and multi element
analysis was undertaken using a 4-acid digest with ICP AES finish (method ME-ICP61). Tin was
analysed in selected intervals using Lithium borate fusion and ICP MS finish (method ME-MS81). Over
grade base metal results were assayed using a 4-acid digest ICP AES (method OG-62).
Over grade tin
was determined using peroxide fusion with ICP finish (method Sn-ICP81x).
