TSXV: PGZ | OTCQX:PGZFF
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Pan Global Resources Inc. (“Pan Global” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: PGZ; OTCQX: PGZFF) is pleased to report positive results of its monitoring surveys at the Cañada Honda and Zarcita targets of the Escacena Project, 100% owned by the Company, in the Iberian Pyrite Belt, southern Spain. Both targets are located 4 km north of the La Romana copper-tin-silver deposit, where ongoing drilling is expanding mineralization at Romana Oeste. Three follow-up drillholes have been completed at the Cañada Honda copper-gold target and a further 13 drillholes at the Zarcita copper target.
The Company will host a video conference broadcast online on Monday, September 11, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. ET (UTC-4) / 7:00 a.m. PT (UTC-7) to discuss the Cañada Honda and Zarcita drilling results and also provide an overview of the current exploration and drilling campaign at Romana Oeste. After a brief presentation there will be a question and answer session. For more details about this broadcast, please see the information at the end of this release.
“The monitoring campaign at Cañada Honda confirms copper-gold mineralization coincident with a gravimetric anomaly, and extends copper-gold mineralization from surface to 600 m downdip, where it remains open. The new results highlight additional gold potential at the top of the mineralization Drilling is being developed at the eastern end of a 2 km long east-west gravimetric anomaly, indicating significant mineralization expansion potential, making this an attractive target and a high priority for future surveys,” said Tim Moody, President and CEO of Pan Global.
Drilling at Escacena is currently focused on the high interest western (Romana Oeste) extension of the La Romana copper-tin-silver deposit. In addition to the 12 geophysical targets that are being sequentially prioritized for testing, exploration at the 5,760-hectare Escacena Project continues to identify new drill targets. The first results of the first series of surveys in Romana Oeste are expected shortly.
The locations of the Cañada Honda and Zarcita boreholes are shown in Figure 1. The results of the tests in the Cañada Honda boreholes are summarized in Table 1 and the details of the nozzles are presented in Table 2. The results of The Zarcita drilling tests are summarized in Table 3 and the details of the nozzles are presented in Table 4.
The highlight of Cañada Honda
The follow-up drilling program included holes CHD05, CHD06 and CHD07. Drill hole CHD05, carried out at a depth of 150 m compared to the previous drill hole CHD04 and at about 330 m depth compared to a historic gallery, confirmed copper-gold mineralization coincident with the target gravimetric anomaly. Hole CHD06, located 100 m east of CHD05, intersected copper-gold mineralization coincident with a DHEM target. The CHD07 survey verified a low resistivity anomaly at a depth of 190 m compared to CHD05. Each of these drillholes also intersected more top-to-top gold mineralization.
The DHEM technique in drill holes CHD06 and CHD07 confirmed new conductive anomalies that will be probed in the future to verify possible more intense sulfide mineralization. See figure 3.
Anomalous gold assays of 28 rock samples at Cañada Honda indicate a gold anomaly extending 200 m to the west of the historic drift and shallower than recent drilling, with several samples indicating >0.1 g/t Au and up to 9.0 g/t Au.

Commentary on Zarcita results
“Recent exploration drilling and mapping of Zarcita have highlighted a pattern of copper, lead, zinc, gold and silver anomalies along its 2.1 km length. The greatest potential remains centered in the area of the historic Zarcita mine, where drilling has intersected narrow intervals of higher-grade copper within a broader zone of stockwork and alteration.While unproven Down Hole Electromagnetic Conductivity (DHEM), gravimetry and IP anomalies define potential targets for Future campaigns in Zarcita, Romana Oeste and Cañada Honda targets are key short-term priorities,” said Tim Moody, President and CEO of Pan Global.
Zarcita Highlights
The drilling program completed at Zarcita includes 17 boreholes totaling 4,363 m, along a 2.1 km east-west alignment. The drillings were programmed to test a combination of geophysical, geological and geochemical objectives, and to acquire information on mineral alteration to help identify vectors towards possible higher grade mineralization. Results from the first four boreholes, ZAD01 to ZAD04, drilled in a single north-south section, were reported on January 17, 2023, and showed copper grades increasing to 400 m depth depending on dip and narrow higher-grade intervals ( for example, drilling ZAD04: 17 m with 0.3% Cu, including 1.9% Cu in 1.1 m). The new boreholes, ZAD05 to ZAD17, were drilled 100 to 600 m apart along that alignment. To date, much of the deposit’s potential had only been verified with widely spaced individual drillings.
The most promising results come from a 600 m section of the 2.1 km alignment, coincident with work at the former Zarcita mine. It includes narrow bands of semi-massive and massive sulfide intervals within a broader zone of stockwork veins and chlorite-sericite alteration. DHEM in drillholes ZAD01 and ZAD05 identified untested anomalies outside and below these drillholes, which represent possible more intense sulfide mineralization nearby.
Hole ZAD05 intersected 0.2% Cu (oxide zone) over 14.85 m from surface, followed by 10.5 m without core recovery in a presumed historic mining cavity, and traces of chalcopyrite continuing into the drill core below said hole. Holes ZAD06 and ZAD15 intersected narrow high-grade copper intervals. Mineralization remains open throughout the historic mining area.

QA/QC procedures
The control diameter was HQ (63 mm) and all samples were ½ control. The nominal sample size was 1 m core length and ranged from 0.4 m to 2 m. Sampling intervals were defined by geological contacts and the beginning and end of each sample were physically marked on the core. The company’s staff supervised the cutting of the cores and the taking of samples at all times. Duplicate ¼ control samples were taken approximately every 30 samples and certified reference materials were inserted every 25 samples in each batch.
Samples were sent to the ALS laboratory in Seville (Spain) and analyzed at the ALS laboratory in Ireland. All the samples were crushed and divided (CRU-31 method, SPL22Y), and pulverized (PUL-31 method). Gold analysis was carried out by 50 g fire assay with ICP analysis (Au-ICP22 method) and multi-element analysis was carried out by 4-acid digestion with ICP AES finishing (ME-ICP61 method). Higher grade base metal results were analyzed by ICP AES 4-acid digestion (OG-62 method). Very high grade tin was determined by peroxide melting with ICP analysis (Sn-ICP81x method).
