October 07, 2021 8:00 AM EDT | Source: Pan Global Resources Inc.

  • 19.4m at 1% CuEq, including 11.9m at 1.3% CuEq
  • New results confirm continuity and expand the near-surface copper-tin mineralization which remains open in several directions
  • Drilling commences on new IP targets to the north

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 7, 2021) - Pan Global Resources Inc. (TSXV: PGZ) (OTC Pink: PGNRF) ("Pan Global" or the "Company") is pleased to announce new high-grade copper and tin intercepts as drilling continues at the La Romana copper/tin target at the Escacena Project. La Romana is located approximately 6km southwest of the former Aznalcollar open pit mine and approximately 15km west of the Las Cruces copper mine, in the Iberian Pyrite Belt, southern Spain.

Tim Moody, Pan Global President and CEO states: "The new drill holes at La Romana confirm additional continuity of the near-surface copper and tin mineralization over a strike of more than 1 km. The mineralization remains wide open to the west towards the La Romana mine workings and down dip. The new results also expand supergene enrichment style copper mineralization in the east with individual assays up to 8.7% Cu in hole LRD69 and supergene copper evident over almost 50m in hole LRD64. Results are awaited for 20 additional drill holes. I'm also very pleased to report that permitting on the adjoining Al Andalus property is imminent. This will provide access to several large gravity targets immediately to the east of La Romana and on the same trend as the Aznalcollar mine."

Drill results
The latest drill results are from twelve new holes in the Phase 4 drill program at the La Romana discovery. The drill program is continuing to test extensions of the copper and tin mineralization in all directions.

Drill holes LRD 61, 64, 68, 69, 70, 72 and 75 targeted up-dip or near-surface mineralization. Holes LRD 71, 73 and 84 tested down-dip extensions. Holes 63 and 66 are located in the footwall to the main copper mineralization.

Drill hole locations are shown in Figure 1 above. Drill hole collar information is provided in Table 1 below. Assay results are summarized in Table 2. The drill holes were all inclined towards the south and all reported drill intervals are approximately true widths.

1 Metal prices used: Copper US$6,200 per tonne, Silver USD22.50 per ounce, Gold US$1,500 per ounce, Cobalt US$32,800 per tonne and Tin US$18,000 per tonne. The copper equivalent (CuEq ) values are for exploration purposes only and include no assumptions for metal recovery.

The results add to the near-surface copper and tin mineralization, with copper mineralization remaining open along strike to the west and down-dip. Additional supergene enrichment style copper mineralization was intersected in the east. The latest drill results confirm the continuity of the near-surface high-grade copper and tin mineralization extending over a strike of more than 1 km.

The primary mineralization includes mainly stockwork, semi-massive sulphides and bands of massive sulphide, with chalcopyrite as the main primary copper mineral and cassiterite as the only observed tin mineral. The copper mineralization is also associated with elevated levels of silver, cobalt and gold. A metal zonation is also apparent, progressing from copper and tin in the west to copper and then zinc in the east.

QA/QC
Core size was HQ (63mm) and all samples were ½ core. Nominal sample size was 1m core length and ranged from 0.4 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.
