PAN GLOBAL ANNOUNCES MAIDEN MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES FOR THE ESCACENA PROJECT IN THE IBERIAN PYRITE BELT, SPAIN

TSXV: PGZ   |   OTCQB: PGZFF   |   FRA: 2EU

VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Pan Global Resources Inc. ("Pan Global" or the "Company") (TSXV: PGZ) (OTCQB: PGZFF) (FRA: 2EU) is pleased to announce maiden Mineral Resource Estimates ("MRE") for the La Romana (Cu-Sn-Ag) and Cañada Honda (Au-Cu-Ag) deposits, at its 100%-owned Escacena Project in the Iberian Pyrite Belt, southern Spain. The initial estimates represent a significant milestone for the Company and establishes a foundation for future technical and economic studies.

Highlights

• La Romana (Cu-Sn-Ag) Mineral Resources:
  • Measured and Indicated: 32.4 Mt containing 119.5 kt Cu, 8.8 kt Sn, 1.7 Moz Ag (average grades of 0.37% Cu, 270 ppm Sn, 1.7 g/t Ag; 0.44% CuEq), and
  • Inferred: 4.0 Mt containing 15.8 kt Cu, 0.3 kt Sn, 0.2 Moz Ag (average grades of 0.40% Cu, 71 ppm Sn, 1.4 g/t Ag; 0.42% CuEq)
  • Includes a substantial portion of the Mineral Resources constrained within a conceptual open-pit shell
• Cañada Honda (Au-Cu-Ag) Mineral Resources:
  • Inferred: 5.0 Mt containing 104 koz Au, 6.8 kt Cu, 0.2 Moz Ag (average grades of 0.65 g/t Au, 0.14% Cu, 1.2 g/t Ag; 0.74 g/t AuEq)
  • Additional unclassified mineralization identified, indicating potential for further resource delineation
• Resources at both La Romana and Cañada Honda remain open along strike and at depth
• Ongoing exploration focused on expanding the resource base and supporting future technical evaluation

Note: Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred resources have a higher uncertainty as to their existence and economic/legal feasibility.

Pan Global intends to announce details of an investor webinar and live Q&A session in due course to discuss the Mineral Resource Estimates. No additional material information will be disclosed.

"Several years of disciplined exploration at Escacena resulted in multiple discoveries, including the La Romana and Cañada Honda deposits. The high proportion of Measured Resource and the in-pit component at La Romana confirms the strong continuity of the mineral system. The initial resource at Cañada Honda, located approx. 4 km north of La Romana, adds a second distinct gold-dominant mineralized system with meaningful copper and silver content," said Tim Moody, President and CEO.

Mr Moody added: "Advanced metallurgical tests at La Romana, confirming the metallurgical characteristics of the mineralization, indicate the potential to produce concentrates with higher copper grades and very low levels of penalty elements. With both deposits open for expansion and a pipeline of exploration targets, located in an established mining district, Escacena has a solid technical foundation to build upon through the next stages of advancement of exploration and technical evaluation."

La Romana Mineral Resource Estimate (Cu–Sn–Ag)
Effective Date: December 31, 2025

La Romana In-Pit Mineral Resources

The In-Pit Resource (Table 2 below) is constrained within a conceptual open-pit shell designed for reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction ("RPEEE"). The majority (over 90%) of the In-Pit Resource is classified as Measured, with higher-grade material relative to the broader La Romana Mineral Resource captured in the conceptual open-pit shell.

Table 2 – La Romana In-Pit Mineral Resources; Cut-off Grade 0.20% Cu

La Romana Cut-off Grade Sensitivity (Illustrative Only):

• 0.15% Cu: 48.9 Mt @ 0.38% CuEq
• 0.20% Cu: 36.4 Mt @ 0.44% CuEq
• 0.25% Cu: 27.1 Mt @ 0.50% CuEq
• 0.30% Cu: 19.9 Mt @ 0.56% CuEq

Cut-off grade comparisons are presented for illustrative purposes only, are approximate, and do not constitute Mineral Resources or Mineral Reserves. The reported Mineral Resource Estimate is based solely on the stated base-case cut-off grade and assumptions.

Cañada Honda Mineral Resource Estimate (Au–Cu–Ag)
Effective Date: December 31, 2025

Cañada Honda In-Pit Mineral Resources

The In-Pit Mineral Resource (Table 4 below) is constrained within a conceptual open-pit shell developed to demonstrate RPEEE. The pit shell captures a portion Inferred Mineral Resource with higher grades on average than the broader Cañada Honda Mineral Resource.

Metal Equivalent Grade Calculations

Copper Equivalent – La Romana

• CuEq (%) = Cu (%) + [Sn (%) × 2.2241] + [Ag (g/t) × 0.0088]
• Assumptions:
  • Cu US$4.80/lb, recovery 86.4%
  • Sn US$35,000/t, recovery 58.1%
  • Ag US$45.0/oz, recovery 55.7%

Gold Equivalent – Cañada Honda

• AuEq (g/t) = Au (g/t) + [Cu (%) × 0.5414] + [Ag (g/t) ×0.0133]
• Assumptions: 
  • Au US$3,200/oz, recovery 95.0%
  • Cu US$4.80/lb, recovery 50.0%
  • Ag US$45.0/oz, recovery 90.0%

Equivalent grades are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not used for cut-off grade determination. Equivalent grades were calculated using metal prices and recoveries only and do not include payability or refining charges.

Key Technical Notes

• Mineral Resources are reported in accordance with NI 43-101 and CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (2014).
• Mineral Resources are exclusive of Mineral Reserves and have no demonstrated economic viability.
• The same bulk density values were applied to both total and in-pit Mineral Resources: La Romana 2.88 t/m³, Cañada Honda 2.70 t/m³.
• In-Pit resources are constrained using metal price, recoveries, cost, and pit-slope assumptions appropriate for resource estimation purposes.

Estimation Methodology

The MREs for La Romana and Cañada Honda were prepared by Orelogy Consulting Pty Ltd (Orelogy) under the supervision of a Qualified Person ("QP") in accordance with NI 43-101 and the 2014 CIM Definition Standards. The La Romana MRE is based on 198 diamond drill holes (41,528 m) and the Cañada Honda MRE on 16 drill holes (5,495 m). Mineralization was modelled using 3D geological wireframes. Grades for Cu, Sn, Ag, and Au were estimated into a block model using Ordinary Kriging, with search parameters and block sizes (e.g. 10m x 5m x 4m) optimized to reflect the local geometry and continuity of mineralization. High-grade outliers were restricted through top-cutting to ensure statistical representativeness. Models were validated using visual inspection, global statistical comparisons, and swath plot analysis.

Reasonable Prospects for Eventual Economic Extraction (RPEEE)

To demonstrate RPEEE, Mineral Resources are reported within conceptual open-pit shells generated using a Whittle optimization. Assumptions include:

• Metal Prices: Cu US$4.80/lb, Sn US$35,000/t, Ag US$45.0/oz, Au US$3,200/oz.
• Operating Costs:
• Mining: Base cost of US$2.00/t mined, plus a US$0.05/t/bench depth incremental rate (8m bench height).
• Processing: US$13.24/t milled (inclusive of ore-related mining costs).
• General & Administrative (G&A): US$2.50/t milled (site and project level G&A cost).
• Recoveries:
• La Romana: 86.4% Cu, 58.1% Sn, 55.7% Ag.
• Cañada Honda: 95.0% Au, 50.0% Cu, 90.0% Ag.
• Geotechnical Parameters: Conceptual pit slopes of 45° in fresh rock and 40° in weathered material.

The cut-off grades of 0.20% Cu (La Romana) and 0.25 g/t Au (Cañada Honda) were selected solely for demonstrating RPEEE and do not imply economic viability.
