VANCOUVER, BC
,
April 17, 2024
/CNW/ - Pan Global Resources Inc. ("Pan Global" or the "Company") (TSXV: PGZ) (OTCQX: PGZFF) (FSE: 2EU) is pleased
to announce results for three additional stepout drillholes from the 11-hole drill program at the Cañada Honda copper-gold (Cu-Au) discovery, at the Company's
100% owned Escacena Project in the Iberian Pyrite Belt, southern
Spain
. Drilling is continuing to test for extensions to the Cañada Honda copper and gold
mineralization. Cañada Honda is located approx. 3.5km north of Pan Global's La Romana copper-tin-silver (Cu-Sn-Ag) discovery, where further stepout drilling is
also planned to continue.
"These latest drill results include the best gold intercept to-date at the Cañada Honda target and expands the copper-gold mineralization 80 meters to the
northwest. Results also confirm additional near-surface mineralization in the east of the target area. The increasing width of the mineralization to the west and
strong correlation with the geophysics are highly encouraging, indicating excellent potential for the mineralization to continue and improve along the two-kilometer
east-west gravity target. Wide-spaced stepout drilling is progressing at Cañada Honda, with 13 drill holes now completed spanning a surface area of 450-by-300
meters," said
Tim Moody
, Pan Global's President & CEO.

11m

and
22m
at 0.41% Cu, 0.20g/t Au, 1.6g/t Ag
from
342m
, including
3m
at 0.68% Cu, 0.61g/t Au, 2.6g/t Ag
Drillhole CHD13
10m
at 0.38g/t Au, 0.5g/t Ag from
132m
, and
10m
at 0.35% Cu, 0.15g/t Au, 1.1g/t Ag from
242m
Hole CHD11 in the east of the target area extends the gold and silver mineralization
90m
updip from hole CHD06 to within
40m
from surface. The results
confirm the mineralization is open to the east and copper grades are increasing downdip.
CHD12 drill results confirmed broad copper and gold intercepts coincident with the modelled gravity and induced polarization (IP) resistivity low targets. This
includes the best gold grade-thickness intercept and widest copper intercept to-date at the Cañada Honda target. The results expand the mineralization a
further
80m
west of hole CHD05, and provide further confirmation of the potential for the mineralization to increase to the west, following a two-kilometer long
east-west gravity target.
New downhole electromagnetics (DHEM) in holes CHD12 and CHD13 highlights potential continuation of the copper-gold mineralization for future testing.
"The results are further validation of the exploration models and methodologies that we are using. As most deposits in the Iberian Pyrite Belt occur in clusters,
these latest results enhance the potential for additional discoveries at the many compelling geophysics targets yet to be drill tested within Pan Global's Escacena
Project area," said Moody.
Two styles of mineralization are recognized at Cañada Honda:
Copper-gold volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) style mineralization (pyrite, chalcopyrite) including stockwork, semi-massive and massive-sulphides hosted
within shales, similar to the host rocks at the former Aznalcóllar and Los Frailes mines, 4km to the east; and
Gold mineralization associated with quartz-sulphide (pyrite, and lesser chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and arsenopyrite) veins and stockwork within folded and
fractured shale and quartzites, in the structural hangingwall above the copper-gold mineralization. The encouraging higher-grade gold drill intercepts at
Cañada Honda are uncommon in these host rocks in the Iberian Pyrite Belt.

CHD12 highlight increasing copper-gold downdip coincident with the DHEM target, and the mineralization remains wide-open. (CNW Group/Pan Global Resources
Inc.)

About the Escacena Project
The Escacena Project comprises a large, contiguous, 5,760-hectare land package controlled 100% by Pan Global in the east of the Iberian Pyrite Belt. Escacena
is located near the operating mine at Riotinto and is immediately adjacent to the former Aznalcóllar and Los Frailes mines where Minera Los Frailes/Grupo México
is in the final permitting stage with construction anticipated to start in 2024. The Escacena Project hosts Pan Global's La Romana copper-tin-silver and Cañada
Honda copper-gold discoveries and a number of other prospective targets, including, Bravo, Barbacena, El Pozo,
Romana Norte
, San Pablo, Zarcita, Hornitos, La
Jarosa, and
Romana Deep
, and most recently Cortijo.

QA/QC Procedures
Core size was HQ (63mm) and all samples were ½ core. Nominal sample size was
1m
core length and ranged from 0.5 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). Over grade base metal results were assayed using a 4-acid digest ICP AES (method
OG-62).
