April 19, 2023
/CNW/ - Pan Global Resources Inc. ("Pan Global" or the "Company") (TSXV: PGZ) (OTCQB: PGZFF) is pleased to announce
assay results for its ongoing diamond drilling at the La Romana copper-tin-silver discovery and results for the first three drill holes at the Romana Deep target at
the Company's 100%-owned Escacena Project in the Iberian Pyrite Belt, southern
Spain
.
"The near surface high grade copper, tin, and silver results reported today confirm the continuity of the La Romana mineralization and highlight the potential to
improve the overall grade with further in-fill drilling," said
Tim Moody
, Pan Global's President & CEO. "Planned testing of the strike extensions of the gravity and
electrical geophysics targets east and west of the La Romana discovery is expected to further expand the area of mineralization."
"Exploration drilling at the Romana Deep target revealed an 80-meter-plus zone of alteration similar to that associated with mineralization at La Romana. The first
three holes encountered multiple narrow intercepts of high grade copper mineralization up to
1.0m
thick grading 1.1% to 3.8% Cu and up to 0.43% Sn and 55g/t
Ag. The frequency of thin bands of massive and semi-massive sulphide and alteration intensity indicate an ecouraging vector with increasing copper towards the
east, providing a guide for follow-up drilling."
Drill results are summarized in Table 1 and drill hole collar details are presented in Table 2 below. Drill hole locations are shown in Figure 1.

The new drill results at La Romana intersected high grade copper (Cu) in four of the five drill holes targeting electromagnetic (EM) anomalies within the drill area.
Together with previous drilling, the results further demonstrate good continuity of the mineralization and the potential for additional infill drilling to have a positive
impact on the overall grade at La Romana. Drill holes
LRD142
and
LRD145
delivered the highest grade Cu, tin (Sn), and silver (Ag) intersections compared to
previous drilling on the same north-south section (see Figures 2 and 3 below). Hole
LRD143
returned one of the widest intersections reported at La Romana with
0.33% Cu over
70.85m
, including
6m
at 1.1% Cu plus additional narrow high grade Cu-Sn-Ag intersections.
Results are pending for a further five stepout drill holes targeting EM anomalies and downdip projections of the La Romana mineralization. An additional 10
drillholes are planned to test a gap in the drill pattern, previously inaccessible due to farm infrastructure, for additional high grade copper mineralization. These
holes will also test the potential for additional near-surface supergene enriched chalcocite mineralization. Additional holes will test the continuity of tin mineralization
and provide samples required for the tin metallurgy test work program. Drilling of the untested western strike projection of the La Romana mineralization is
planned pending access.

Romana Deep
The three drill holes testing a heliborne EM anomaly at Romana Deep each intersected more than
80m
thick zones of chlorite and sericite alteration with multiple
thin bands of massive and semi massive sulphide with high copper grades. The drilling shows alteration and associated copper mineralization extending from
300m
to more than
600m
downdip from the near-surface La Romana mineralization. The results for drill holes RDD02 and RDD03 indicates the heliborne EM
anomaly in this area is potentially related to an upper copper mineralized horizon, approximately
100m
stratigraphically above the main La Romana copper
mineralization.
The drill results also highlight a vector to the east, characterized by increasing intervals of semi-massive and massive sulphide towards the east and anomalous
copper over a wide interval in hole RDD01, the easternmost hole. Follow-up drilling at Romana Deep will be planned on completion of additional geophysics to
help identify potentially thicker zones of high grade mineralization and potential to the east.

Drilling is ongoing in the Escacena Project at the La Romana and Zarcita targets and is due to commence at the Cañada Honda target approximately 5 km north
of La Romana targeting geophysics targets adjacent to historical mine workings. Results are pending for approximately 15 drill holes at La Romana and Zarcita.
Negotiations are progressing with land owners for access to the untested potential near-surface extensions to the La Romana mineralization.
QA/QC Procedures
Core size was HQ (63mm) and all samples were ½ core. Nominal sample size was
1m
core length and ranged from 0.4 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 analyzed 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).
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. The
project is located near operating mines at Las Cruces and Riotinto and is immediately adjacent to the former Aznalcóllar and Los Frailes mines where Minera Los
Frailes/Grupo Mexico is in the final permitting stage with construction anticipated to restart in 2023. The Escacena Project hosts the La Romana copper-tin
discovery and a number of other prospective targets, including Zarcita, Hornitos, La Jarosa, Romana Deep, Bravo, Barbacena, El Pozo, and San Pablo.
