SOIL SAMPLE SURVEY COMMENCES ON THE AGUILAS COPPER PROJECT
AND LEAD-SILVER EXPLORATION POTENTIAL ON THE ZUMAJO
STRUCTURE, SPAIN
VANCOUVER, BRITISH CO LUMBIA – (July 17, 201 7) – Pan Global Resources
Inc. (“Pan Global” or the "Company") (TSX Venture Exchange: PGZ) herein provides
a progress update on the Aguilas Copper Project in Spain.
The company manages the Aguilas Project through its agreement to acquire 100%
interest in Spanish company, Minera Aguila SLU , and the Las Aguilas I, II and III
Investigation Permits, referred to as the “Aguilas Project”. The mineral rights cover
approximately 11,302.5 hectares within the Pedroches Batholith, in northern
Andalucia, Spain (Figure 1). The Company also has a Letter of Intent, providing
exclusive rights to acquire the Escacena mineral rights in the Iberian Pyrite Belt, in
southern Spain.
Pan Global is pleased to announce commencement of soil sampling in the Aguilas
Project and the publication of Las Aguilas I and Las Aguilas II mineral rights for
definitive admission. A brief update is also provided on the exploration potential
associated with the Zumajo lead-silver structure, also within the Aguilas Project area.
Work to-date in the Aguilas Project includes a total of 106 rock samples, including 98
samples collected along the Torrubia copper structure. Previously reported results
include 60 samples with >0.1% copper , including 27 samples with values ranging
from 1% to 28% copper and up to 33% iron, 1.7g/t gold, 17.5g/t silver, 0.13% cobalt,
along with anomalous levels of uranium, nickel and light rare earth metals . The
copper is associated with numerous small ancient mine workings, multi- stage
hydrothermal quartz-hematite-carbonate breccia and “red rock” alteration. The metal
association, style of minerali zation and alteration are typical of hematite dominant
iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) type ore deposits . The results indicate copper
mineralisation over a combined strike length of approximately 3.1 kilometres in two
sections of the Torrubia copper structure and also confirmed for similar style
mineralisation on other parallel structures within the Project area.
Review and compilation of historical mining and exploration data from Zumajo lead-
silver trend is ongoing.
Soil geochemistry survey
A detailed soil geochemistry survey has been initiated over the Torrubia copper
structure. The survey will include an initial short orientation survey to determi ne the
most appropriate sampling methodology followed by collection of approximately 450
2
samples on 100- 200m spaced traverses over approximately 2 kilometres of the
Torrubia structure. The sampling will target areas with visible copper mineralisation
and areas where the highest copper values have been reported from the recent
reconnaissance rock sampling.
The results of the soil and rock geochemistry together with more detailed geological
mapping will help to prioritise areas for follow -up electrical geophysics and drilling.
The first results from the soil sampling are expected in August.
Zumajo Lead-Silver Structure
Re-evaluation of the historic Zumajo lead-silver mine trend within the Aguilas project
area is progressing. Results to-date suggest good potential to discover additional lead
and silver along with other metals along several kilometres strike length of the Zumajo
Trend with lead-silver mineralisation open at depth and along-strike at some of the old
mines. The trend has received almost no exploration for the past 50 years. Further
exploration is also required to determine the metal grades across the breccia structures
and test if there are economic concentrations of metals suitable for large scale mining
methods.
Approximately 10.5 km of the Zumajo mine trend traverses the Aguilas Project area.
Lead and silver ores were exploited intermittently along the trend from the late 1890 ’s to
1958 via a series of shafts and small pits. The mines were targeting narrow high-grade
veins within at least two parallel breccia structures up to 16 metres thick. The ore was
hand-sorted for direct treatment at the nearby Peñaroya smelter. The historical reports
also show the breccia structures locally contain other metals that were not exploited
commercially during the previous mining, including copper, zinc, fluorite, uranium and
barium.
In 1966-1967, the Instituto Geoló gico Minero de España (IGME) undertook a study to
identify extensions of the lead-silver mineralization, and completed 15 drill holes along a
470 metre section of the Zumajo structure with several shallow mine workings. As yet,
no assay results have been located for the IGME drill holes. However, the lead and
silver mineralisation appears open at depth and along strike in this area. Historical
longitudinal section of some of the mines also show continuity of the minerali sation in
the lower levels. No grades are recorded except for concentrates sold, ranging from 48-
68% Pb and 120-270 ppm Ag for carbonate ores, and 70-79% Pb and 154-295 ppm Ag
for sulphide ores. No records have been located of any other drilling on the Zumajo
structure.
Mineral Rights
Publication in the Official Bulletin for Definitive Admission of the Las Aguilas I
Investigation Permit occurred on July 10, 2017. Publ ication of the Las Aguilas II
Investigation Permits is also imminent. Notice for the publication of the Las Aguilas
III Investigation Permits is now expected in September 2017 following acceptance of
the Environmental Impact Statement . Full permitting for each of the mineral rights
will follow a mandatory publication period.
