VANCOUVER, BC, July 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Pan Global Resources Inc. ("Pan Global" or the "Company") (TSXV: PGZ) (OTCQB: PGZFF) is pleased to announce positive results for the first of three follow-up drill holes at the Cañada Honda target at the Company's 100%-owned Escacena Project in the Iberian Pyrite Belt, southern Spain.
"Higher-grade copper mineralization continues to be delineated at the Cañada Honda target. Hole CHD05 reported today was a large step-out along a two-kilometer-long gravity anomaly and intercepted a wide zone of copper-gold mineralization 150m down-dip. It is particularly encouraging to see an increase in thickness of the copper-gold mineralization down-dip coincident with a gravity target. This indicates good potential for additional mineralization associated with the gravity anomaly," said Tim Moody, Pan Global's President and CEO.
"Follow-up drill hole CHD06, more than 100m to the east of hole CHD05, has intersected visible copper mineralization coincident with a downhole EM (DHEM) conductor anomaly, confirming that mineralization at Cañada Honda is open in all directions."
Cañada Honda, one of more than 14 gravity anomalies in the Escacena Project, is a high-priority target following drill results reported on June 1, 2023 that show gold and copper mineralization increasing down-dip on the edge of a 2km long east-west gravity and DHEM anomaly. Drill hole CHD05, the first of a three-hole follow-up drill program, targeted the gravity anomaly 150m down-dip from previous drill hole CHD04, and approximately 330m down-dip from a historic mine tunnel. Results are pending for hole CHD06 located 100m east of CHD05, targeting a large DHEM anomaly. Hole CHD07 is in-progress targeting a resistivity-low anomaly 100m down-dip from CHD05. The Cañada Honda target is approximately 3.5km north of Pan Global's La Romana copper-tin-silver discovery at the Escacena Project.
Drill results for Cañada Honda hole CHD05 are summarized in Table 1 and drill collar details are presented in Table 2 below. Drill hole locations are shown in Figure 1. The gravity anomaly cross-section is shown in Figure 2.

Core size was HQ (63mm) and all samples were ½ core. Nominal sample size was 1m core length and ranged from 0.4m 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 Sevilla, 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).
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 with construction anticipated to start in 2023. The Escacena Project hosts the La Romana copper-tin-silver discovery and a number of other prospective targets, including Zarcita, Hornitos, La Jarosa, Romana Deep, Romana North, Romana West, Cañada Honda, Bravo, Barbacena, El Pozo, and San Pablo.
Pan Global Resources Inc. is actively targeting copper-rich mineral deposits, given copper's compelling supply-demand fundamentals and outlook for strong long-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 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, development, and mine operations - all of which are committed to operating safely and with utmost respect for the environment and our partnered communities.
