Drill results confirm strong VMS-style mineralization at La Romana continues northwest and remains open on strike and at depth, including 1.51% copper, 0.02% tin and 3.6 g/t silver over 8m
Initial drilling at La Pantoja target highlights new zone of copper-tin mineralization beneath La Romana, including copper assays up to 5.36%
Drilling underway at the Bravo target 1km east of La Romana, and the Providencia target in the Cármenes Project, northern Spain
VANCOUVER, BC, May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Pan Global Resources Inc. ("Pan Global" or the "Company") (TSXV: PGZ) (OTCQB: PGZFF) (FRA: 2EU) is pleased to announce positive results for three additional step-out drillholes at the La Romana target ("La Romana"), and three initial drill results at the La Pantoja target ("La Pantoja") west of La Romana, in the Company's 100%-owned Escacena Project ("Escacena") in the Iberian Pyrite Belt, southern Spain.

"The first results from the 2025 multi-target Escacena drill program confirm that the higher-grade copper-tin corridor at La Romana remains open to the northwest with the mineralized trend now extending over 1.7km east-west. New downhole electro-magnetic geophysics (DHEM) indicates excellent potential to expand the higher-grade zone at depth at La Romana. We are also pleased to report that a similar style of mineralization has been intersected in the maiden drill program at the La Pantoja target to the west of La Romana," said Tim Moody, Pan Global President and CEO.
"The early results at La Pantoja confirm a new zone of copper-tin mineralization stratigraphically beneath La Romana, providing further confirmation of the potential for additional discoveries at the Escacena Project. La Pantoja is a large-scale target with compelling geophysical indicators of stronger mineralization at depth. We look forward to advancing this target with further drilling."
Drilling continues at the flagship Escacena Project in southern Spain, with the focus on the high-priority Bravo target east of La Romana where wet weather initially hampered access, and at the Providencia target in the Cármenes Project in northern Spain. Additional drill results will be announced over the coming weeks.
Key points about the new results:
La Romana
Step-out drilling was focused on testing the western extent of the near-surface higher-grade copper mineralization
Drillhole LRD186 with 8.0m at 1.5% Cu confirms the continuity of the La Romana target extending the higher-grade zone 50m, and remains wide-open at depth to the northwest
Excellent potential to extend the higher-grade zone coincident with an untested downhole electro-magnetic anomaly (190m x 70m) projecting down-dip from drillhole LRD186
Two additional wide-spaced step-out drillholes (LRD 187 and LRD188) indicate the mineralized trend at La Romana extends a further 300m to the west, with more than a 1.7 km strike-length overall
Assay results are pending for two westernmost drillholes at La Romana (LRD187 and LRD188), and DHEM is in-progress in hole LRD188
Additional step-out drillholes are planned, aiming to add to a maiden resource
La Pantoja
Large geophysical target located west of La Romana, with a 500m NW-SE orientation, and extending to over 600m depth
Geophysical indicators (Heliborne-EM and IP) at La Pantoja are analogous to those at La Romana with coincident copper-tin-silver mineralization
Initial drilling in the upper part of the target confirms copper-tin mineralization and extensive related mineral alteration at stratigraphic levels beneath La Romana
Heliborne EM and new DHEM survey results suggest stronger mineralization exists laterally and at depth
Results suggest additional untested mineral potential beneath La Romana, at depths below current drilling

1Copper Equivalent = CuEq. CuEq is calculated using Cu, Sn, and Ag grades. Metallurgical recoveries include 86% for Cu, 68% for Sn and 56% for Ag, based on preliminary studies performed by Wardell Armstrong International and MinePro. The CuEq calculation uses US$ 8,693/tonne Cu, US$ 29,069/tonne Sn and US$ 23.72/oz Ag, corresponding to the three-year monthly price averages to July 2023. The effective formula is [CuEq %] = [Cu %] + 2.6440 * [Sn %] + 0.0057 * [Ag ppm]

About the Escacena Project
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 the operating mine at Riotinto and is immediately adjacent to the former Aznalcóllar and Los Frailes mines where Minera Los Frailes (Grupo México) is in the final permitting stage for mine development. The Escacena Project hosts Pan Global's La Romana and La Pantoja copper-tin-silver discoveries and the Cañada Honda copper-gold discovery. Escacena hosts a number of other prospective targets, including Bravo, Barbacena, El Pozo, Romana Norte, San Pablo, Zarcita, Hornitos, La Jarosa, Romana Deep, and Cortijo.

QA/QC
Core size was HQ (63mm) and all samples were ½ core. Nominal sample size was 1m core length and ranged from 0.5 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 Seville, 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).
