Pancon Extends Brewer Option Period
Pancon Extends Brewer Option Period
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 23, 2022) - Pancontinental Resources Corporation (TSXV:
PUC) (OTCQB: PUCCF) ("Pancon" or the "Company") announces that the Company has agreed with
the Brewer Gold Receiver ("Receiver") to extend the term of the Brewer Option Agreement through
December 31, 2024 on a no-cost basis.
Pancon President & CEO Layton Croft stated: "Pancon is grateful to the Receiver and relevant
government agencies for granting us more time to explore our flagship Brewer Gold & Copper Project.
We now have more than 33 months to aggressively build on our substantial progress thus far. Our
refreshed Brewer Discovery Model demonstrates that a significant zone of unoxidized gold-copper
mineralization exists beneath the former pit, and that higher grade zones are associated with increased
sulphide abundance focused within and along the diatreme margin. In addition to targeting these high
grade feeder structures, we will target an additional breccia target to the south-southwest of the former
mine, hosted within a NE-SW trending zone of favorably altered rocks."
Pancon's exclusive option to explore and purchase the 1,000-acre Brewer property began on April 1,
2020. Since then, the Company has conducted: historic data review; mapping; geophysical surveys;
rotary air blast (RAB), sonic, and core drilling; assay, multielement geochemical, spectral, and
petrographic analyses; preliminary metallurgical testing; data compilation; and modeling. This work
included drilling and reporting lab results for more than 9,000 meters (m) of drill samples: core (5,000 m),
RAB (3,900 m), and sonic (350 m). As a result of work to date, Pancon has updated its data driven
Discovery Model that identifies the most prospective parts of the Brewer gold-copper system. Next steps
include induced polarization (IP) geophysical surveys in four target areas, followed by drilling (see

About Pancon
Pancontinental Resources Corp. (TSXV: PUC) (OTCQB: PUCCF), or Pancon, is a Canadian junior
mining company exploring the rich, underexplored Carolina Slate Belt in the southeastern USA. In
January 2020, Pancon won the exclusive right to explore and purchase the former Brewer Gold Mine
property, with an option period through October 2023. Between 1987-1995, Brewer produced 178,000
ounces of oxide gold from open pits that extended to 65-meter depths, where gold (Au) and copper (Cu)
sulphides were exposed but could not be processed by the oxide heap leach operation. Pancon's
100%-owned, 1,960-acre Jefferson Gold Project nearly completely surrounds the 1,000-acre Brewer
property. The Brewer-Jefferson area of interest, in Chesterfield County, South Carolina, is 12 kilometers
along trend from the producing Haile Gold Mine, which produced 190,000 ounces of gold in 2021
(www.oceanagold.com). Brewer is a large, epithermal, high sulphidation gold-copper system driven by a
sub-volcanic intrusive, possibly connected to a large copper-gold porphyry system at depth.
