• 6.5m at 2.52% CuEq (2.27% Cu, 8.1g/t Ag) from 163.5m in LRD74, including;
  • 2.75m at 5.61% CuEq (5.09% Cu, 18g/t Ag, 0.05g/t Au) from 166m

• 21m at 0.67% CuEq (0.50% Cu, 0.03% Sn, 2.9g/t Ag) from 139m in LRD65
• The near surface copper-tin mineralization now extends over 1km strike length and is open along strike and down dip

Pan Global Resources Inc. (TSXV: PGZ) (OTC Pink: PGNRF) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that drilling continues to expand the La Romana copper target at the Escacena Project with new high-grade down-dip and near surface copper and tin intercepts. 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 have expanded the strike length of the mineralization to more than 1 km and shows the mineralization remains wide open in several areas. Considerable upside remains with less than half the strike potential of this first target tested. Results for 21 additional drill holes are pending and several holes prioritised assay which contain strong visible mineralization. Drilling is ongoing."

Drill results

The latest drill results are from thirteen 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 48, 53, 56, 59, 60, 62, 65 and 74 all targeted down dip extensions. Holes LRD 49, 51, 54, 57 and 67 were aimed at extending the near surface mineralization. Copper mineralization was intersected in all thirteen holes, with wide intervals reported from near surface in LRD 48 and 49, and down-dip in LRD 59, 65 and 74. Holes 62 and 74 confirm high copper grades remain open down dip and hole LRD 48 show potential continuation of the mineralization to the west towards the La Romana mine workings.

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

¹Metal 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 recent drill results at La Romana extend the strike length a further 200m and confirms a continuous zone of near surface copper mineralization over a strike length of more than 1 km. The copper mineralization remains open along strike, down-dip and up-dip locally. The primary mineralization includes mainly stock work, 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. Supergene chalcocite is also evident in several recent drill holes.

Drill hole LRD48 extends the near-surface copper mineralization approx. 100m along strike to the west of hole LRD50, which included 24.1m at 0.71% CuEq. The copper mineralization remains wide open to the west of hole LRD48 in the direction of the La Romana mine workings and also remains open up- and down-dip. Results include:

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. 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). Tin was analysed in selected intervals using Lithium borate fusion and ICP MS finish (method ME-MS81). Over grade base metal results were assayed using a 4-acid digest ICP AES (method OG-62). Over grade tin was determined using peroxide fusion with ICP finish (method Sn-ICP81x).
