Pan Global Intersects 1.6% Copper over 9.7 Meters Confirming Continuity of LA Romana Copper-TIN-Silver Discovery over 1.4KM
PAN GLOBAL INTERSECTS 1.6% COPPER OVER 9.7 METERS
CONFIRMING CONTINUITY OF LA ROMANA COPPER-TIN-SILVER
DISCOVERY OVER 1.4KM
TSXV: PGZ | OTCQX: PGZFF | FSE: 2EU
VANCOUVER, BC
,
Jan. 8, 2024
/CNW/ - Pan Global Resources Inc. ("Pan Global" or the "Company") (TSXV: PGZ) (OTCQX: PGZFF) (FSE: 2EU) is pleased to
announce results for nine new drillholes from the La Romana copper-tin-silver (Cu-Sn-Ag) discovery in the Company's 100% owned Escacena Project in the
Iberian Pyrite Belt, southern
Spain
. The drill holes are part of a 25-hole program aimed at delineating the western extension of the La Romana deposit.
The significance of these drill results:
The near surface copper mineralization is extended more than
50m
west and is now continuous for a total strike length of 1.4km, remaining open for further
expansion along strike to the northwest and down-dip
A new higher grade (1%-plus copper) sector has been identified with grades ranging as high as 7.7% copper over
1.7m
. This mineralization is coincident with
a
290m
x
90m
down-hole electromagnetic (DHEM) target, providing a strong guide to potential extensions for future drilling
Drilling Highlights:

Drilling to resume in 2024, including five holes in the current plan at La Romana
"These drill results highlight a significant new zone of higher-grade copper at La Romana that remains wide open to the northwest. Drilling continues to grow the
La Romana deposit, demonstrating good continuity of the mineralization over 1.4 kilometers strike length, and from surface to more than
200m
down-dip. We look
forward to resuming drilling shortly and advancing the growing pipeline of high priority exploration targets in the Escacena Project, particularly the copper/gold
discovery at Cañada Honda and high-priority Bravo target following access," said
Tim Moody
, President and CEO of Pan Global.
"Ongoing exploration continues to demonstrate multi-discovery potential with numerous targets not yet tested. The Project is located in a tier one mining
jurisdiction, in close proximity with producing copper mines and advanced development projects, and excellent infrastructure," said Mr. Moody.
Drillhole locations are shown in Figure 1 below. Drillhole assay results are summarized in Table 1 and collar details are presented in Table 2 below.
Figure 1 – Gravity anomaly map for the La Romana target showing drillhole locations, selected new results, and cross-section locations A-A’ (Figure 2) and B-B’
(Figure 3). The gravity anomaly highlights potential for the copper mineralization to expand further west. The new results show several higher-grade intercepts
coincident with a DHEM target (approx. dimensions 290m x 90m) that remains open. (CNW Group/Pan Global Resources Inc.)
The main La Romana copper mineralization occurs in two highly continuous layers, Zone B and Zone C, commencing from surface or directly below a thin cover of
post-mineral sediments. The mineralization includes primary chalcopyrite and minor bornite, overprinted at shallow depths by secondary/supergene copper
sulphide (chalcocite) and an overlying oxide zone with local native copper and copper oxides. The tin mineralization is cassiterite, the preferred mineral for
commercial extraction.

Copper Equivalent = CuEq. CuEq is calculated using Cu, Sn, and Ag grades. Metallurgical recoveries include 86% for Cu, 68% for Sn and 56% for Ag, from preliminary studies by Wardell Armstrong International and MinePro. The CuEq calculation uses US$ 8,693/tonne Cu, US$
29,069/tonne Sn and US$ 23.72/oz Ag, corresponding to the three-year monthly price averages to July 2023. The effective formula is [CuEq %] = [Cu %] + 2.6440 * [Sn %] + 0.0057 * [Ag ppm]

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 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 to recommence mining. The Escacena Project hosts the La Romana copper-tin-silver discovery and a number
of other prospective targets, including Cañada Honda, Romana North, Bravo, Barbacena, El Pozo, San Pablo, Zarcita, Hornitos, La Jarosa, and
Romana Deep
.

term prices as a critical metal for global electrification and energy transition. The Company's flagship Escacena Project is located in the prolific Iberian Pyrite Belt
in southern
Spain
, where a favourable permitting track record, excellent infrastructure, mining and professional expertise, and support for copper as a Strategic
Raw Material by the European Commission collectively define a tier-one jurisdiction for mining investment. The Pan Global team comprises proven talent in
exploration, discovery, development, and mine operations - all of which are committed to operating safely and with utmost respect for the environment and our
partnered communities. The Company is a member, and operates under the principles of, the United Nations Global Compact.
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). Over grade tin was determined using peroxide fusion with ICP finish (method Sn-ICP81x).
