Pan Global Resources Inc. ("Pan Global" or the "Company") (TSXV: PGZ) (OTCQX: PGZFF) is pleased to announce completion of the Company's first sustainability assessment report from Digbee ESG ™ ("Digbee"), a leading independent assessment platform for the mining industry.

"The 2023 ESG Report marks a significant milestone in the Company's journey towards excellence in environmental, social, community engagement, health and safety practices, and governance. The report underscores our commitment to responsible operating practices," said Tim Moody , President and CEO.

The ESG report provides a comprehensive assessment of Pan Global's performance across a broad range of ESG criteria and, importantly, provides the Company with a platform to target further improvement in future years as part of the rigorous and standardised scoring process by Digbee's independent panel of qualified mining ESG experts.

Jamie Strauss , Founder and CEO of Digbee, commented, "As an EU developer of critical mineral products and as the first Spanish junior exploration company to join the UN Global Compact initiative, Pan Global acknowledges the importance of planning an ESG journey that relies not just on compliance but recognizes the benefits of best practice. Through the Digbee process, it is expected that Pan Global will prioritize areas of improvement with which it will act on over the coming 12 months."

Pan Global is committed to fostering positive relationships and ensuring that its operations bring lasting benefits to the region and to Spain .

Governance Excellence: Transparency and ethical conduct are core principles at Pan Global.

Pan Global is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance to build trust with shareholders, partners, and the community.

The announcement earlier this year of copper's inclusion in the EU Critical Raw Materials Act recognizes the strategic importance of copper in Europe's transition to a greener, more sustainable economy. Copper is a crucial component in renewable energy systems, electric vehicles, and other technologies essential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

As well as being one of the most important mineral regions in Europe , the Iberian Pyrite Belt is also the most significant Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide mining district for copper and other metals globally. In a recent study conducted by the European Commission, it was reported that the EU imports 48% of its current copper requirements, the majority of which derives from Chilean exploration and extraction and from Chinese processing facilities.

As a copper exploration company in Spain , Pan Global's commitment to responsible exploration of copper and other metals aligns with the EU's efforts to secure a resilient and sustainable supply chain for critical raw materials. Spain is also the greenest energy producer/consumer in Europe and the backbone of that energy supply is the copper and tin used in solar panels, wind turbines, and electricity generation, storage, and delivery.
