NEW EXPLORATION RESULTS FOR THE AGUILAS PROJECT, SPAIN,
INCLUDING UP TO 8.9% Pb AND 37.9 g/t Ag IN NEW SOIL SAMPLING ON THE
ZUMAJO TREND
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – (January 22, 2018) – Pan Global Resources
Inc. (“Pan Global” or the "Company") (TSX Venture Exchange: PGZ) herein provides
new results from on-going field work on the Aguilas Copper Project in Spain.
Highlights:
Large mineral rights position with multiple targets , I ron Oxide Copper Gold
(IOCG) and Pb-Zn-Ag breccia, vein and stockwork styles of mineralisation.
Assay results received for more than 600 new soil samples, including the first
sampling on the Zumajo Pb-Zn-Ag Trend and additional sampling on the
Torrubia Cu Trend.
The Torrubia - Torrechuela soil Cu anomaly was extended to 3.1 x 0.32 km
and in-fill sampling completed on the 0.6 x 0.32 km Aguilas Cu anomaly. The
targets include up to 0.69 % Cu in soils and up to 28% Cu, 33% Fe, 1.7g/t Au,
17.5g/t Ag and 0.13% Co in rock samples.
New targets identified on the Zumajo Trend with up to 8.9 % Pb, 0.97 % Zn,
37.9 g/t Ag and 672 ppm Cu in soils . This includes a 1.8 x 0.3 km Pb -Zn-Ag
soil anomaly extending from the former San Juan and San Rafael mines and
separate Pb-Ag ± Zn soil anomalies along-strike from the San Luis and San
Cayetano mine workings. The highest Pb, Zn and Ag soil values are
attributed mainly to dispersion from the historical mine workings and potential
extensions of the mineralisation. Samples from the mine dumps include up to
>20 % Pb (above upper detection), 20.7 % Zn, 235 g/t Ag and 12.75 % Cu.
IP and AMT survey is due to commence in February.
Reconnaissance sampling is underway along extensions of the Zumajo Trend
and other structures in the Project area.
Background
The company manages the Aguilas Project through an agreement to acquire 100%
interest in Minera Aguila SLU and the Las Aguilas mineral rights, together referred to
as the “Aguilas Project”. The Aguilas Project, including granted mineral rights and
new applications, covers approximately 1 4,949 hectares over the Pedroches
Batholith, in Andalucia, southern 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. Work on the Escacena Project is pending
granting of the mineral rights.

Torrubia Cu Trend – New soil sample results
Assay results were received for approximately 280 additional soil samples on the
Torrubia Cu Trend, extending and in -filling the previous sampling. Samples were
collected every 20 m on lines spaced 100 m apart. The results highlight two large
untested Cu (± Fe, Co, Ag, Au) anomalies, including the Torrubia-Torrechuela target
and Cerro Aguilas target (Figure 2) . Small ancient mine workings occur along the
Trend. The style of mineralisation, alteration and metal association is typical of
hematite-dominant Iron Oxide Copper Gold type deposits.
The latest soil results have extended the Torrubia -Torrechela soil Cu anomaly a
further 300 m to the North. The soil anomaly is now 3.1 x 0.32 km with values from
>40 ppm (approximately 4 x background) to 0.68 % Cu . Previously reported rock
sampling from the same area include s numerous samples with >1% Cu , and up to
28 % Cu, 17.5 g/t Ag, 1.7 g/t Au and 0.12 % Co. The new results show sporadic
anomalous Cu in soil in an area of low relief to the East of the Torrubia -Torrechuela
target, further suggesting additional potential on adjacent structures.
The new results confirm continuity of the Cerro Aguila Cu anomaly and shows the
target is open to the North . Soil sample values range from >40 ppm to 1470 ppm
Cu. Previously reported rock sample results in the area include several samples with
>1% Cu and up to 11.7% Cu, 0.13% Co and 4.3 g/t Ag.
Zumajo Trend – New soil sample results
The first soil sampling results over the Zumajo Trend highlights several strong Pb -
Zn-Ag anomalies (Figure 3). A total of 344 samples were collected every 20 m on
lines spaced 100 m to 800 m apart. The Zumajo Trend comprises numerous small
historical mine workings and shafts along a 20 km west-north-west trending series of
linear structures and splays. This includes polymetallic (Pb, Zn, Ag ± Cu, barite and
fluorite) vein, breccia and stock work style mineralisation. Historical records indicate
the structures hosting the mineralisation are up to 18 m wide.
The new results highlight a 1.8 x 0.3 km Pb -Zn-Ag soil anomaly extending from the
historical San Juan and San Rafael mines. Separate anomalies extend for up to 0.7
km and 0.4 km respectively, extending from the San Luis and San Cayetano mines.
The soil results include numerous samples with > 1 % Pb , and maximum values of
8.9 % Pb, 0.97 % Zn, 37.9 g/t Ag and 672 ppm Cu . Many of the highest values are
attributed to contamination/dispersion from the historical mining as well as indicating
potential extensions of the mineralisation along strike fro m the mines . Previously
reported r ock grab samples from the mine dumps include values up to >20 % Pb
(above upper detection), 20.7 % Zn, 235 g/t Ag and 12.75 % Cu.
The Zumajo Trend is largely untested since mining ceased in the mid -1950’s. The
only drilling was in the 1970’s over a 600m section of the Zumajo structure near the
San Luis mine with reported intervals up to 10 m with Pb and Cu minera lisation (no
assays were reported).
On-going exploration
Reconnaissance prospecting on extensions of the Zumajo Trend and other
structures/targets in the region identified from a recent detailed geology
3
interpretation.
Approximately 10-15 line-kilometres of Induce Polarity (IP) and Magneto
Tellurics (AMT) is planned for February over Cu and Pb-Zn-Ag targets.
Drilling anticipated to commence in the second quarter, 2018.
Analytical methods and Quality Control
All samples were submitted to ALS Laboratories in Seville, Spain. Rock samples
were crushed , split and pulverized and then analyzed with a 36 element Mass
spectrometry and ICP-AES analysis following a 4-acid digestion. Au was determined
by 30g Fire Assay with ICP -AES finish. Rocks returning above detection for Cu, Pb
and Zn were re-assayed using an ore grade analysis by conventional ICP -AES with
a 4-acid digestion . All soil samples were dried and sieved to -180um in the
laboratory and subject t o aqua regia and/or 4-acid digest and assayed by Super
Trace ICP for a large multi-element suite ( up to 53 elements, including Au) and a
selection of samples assayed for comparison by 30g Fire Assay with ICP-AES finish
for gold. Quality Control procedures included review of ALS duplicates and checks,
field duplicates, non -sequential sample numbering and results compared for a large
selection of samples using aqua regia digestion versus mixed acid digestion, and
Fire Assay versus ICP for Au. All samples we re collected and transported under
close supervision by experienced Geologists.
