Pan Global Reports Additional Drilling Success at La Romana Target, Escacena Project, Spain

Pan Global Reports Additional Drilling Success at La Romana Target, Escacena Project, Spain

  • 26.9m at 0.5% Cu, 0.13% Sn, including 1.6m at 1.6% Cu, 0.08% Sn and 1.3m at 1.0% Cu, 0.53% Sn in LRD120
  • 10.1m at 0.8% Cu, 0.18% Sn, 3.1g/t Ag, including 0.3m at 17.3% Cu, 0.56% Sn, 59.3g/t Ag in LRD125
  • Follow-up drilling underway and plans include testing 6 new targets

Pan Global Resources Inc. (TSXV: PGZ) (OTC Pink: PGNRF) ("Pan Global" or the "Company") is pleased to announce new drill results at the Company's 100%-owned Escacena Project in the Iberian Pyrite Belt, southern Spain. Reported results comprise eleven drill holes at the La Romana target and two drill holes on geophysics targets at La Romana North.

Tim Moody, Pan Global President and CEO states: "The latest results add to the down-dip extent of the main copper and tin zone with hole LRD120 intercepting approximately 27m thickness with grades of 0.5% Cu and 0.13% Sn within a 40m wide copper mineralized interval, and 10.1m at 0.8% Cu and 0.18% Sn in hole LRD125. The results include narrow intervals with some exceptionally high grades, including 17.3% Cu, 0.56% Sn and 59.3g/t Ag over 0.25m. The new drill results continue to show potential for the near surface high grade mineralization to continue west for several hundred meters in the direction of the historic La Romana mine workings. Drilling has also successfully defined the southern margin of the La Romana mineralization and shows supergene copper mineralization extending over the footwall to the main copper zone. Assay results are pending for an additional fourteen drill holes from La Romana."

Mr. Moody added: "Extensive exploration over the entire Escacena project area, including gravity, IP and surface geochemistry surveys, together with results of the recent heliborne electromagnetic survey, is highlighting multiple new high priority targets. The current plan includes testing at least six new targets in 2022."

La Romana Highlights include:

  • 26.9m at 0.5% Cu, 0.13% Sn, 2.6g/t Ag from 98.6m in LRD120, including
    • 0.3m at 1.5% Cu, 1.8% Sn, 11.5g/t Ag

The results add near-surface copper and tin mineralization down-dip in the north of the La Romana target area and help to delineate the southern boundary of the mineralized area where near surface supergene copper mineralization has been confirmed extending south from the main copper zone to the footwall. The latest drill results continue to show that the copper and tin mineralization remains open to the west in the direction of the historic La Romana mine workings and down-dip to the north.

Primary mineralization is characterized by stockwork veins, semi-massive sulphides and bands of massive sulphide, with chalcopyrite and secondary chalcocite as the main copper minerals and cassiterite as the only observed tin mineral. The copper mineralization is also associated with elevated levels of silver, as well as locally elevated cobalt and gold. A metal zonation is also apparent, progressing from copper and tin in the west to copper and zinc in the east.

Drill hole LRD120 is located approx. 50m down-dip from hole LRD07 and fills a gap in the drilling between holes LRD18 and LRD43. The hole intersected a broad zone of visible chalcopyrite and cassiterite mineralization from approximately 86m down-hole depth and shows tin assay values up to 1.8% Sn. Best results include:

  • 39.15m at 0.4% Cu, 0.10% Sn, 2.3g/t Ag from 86.35m, including
    • 1.3m at 0.7% Cu, 0.13% Sn, 6.5g/t Ag and
    • 26.9m at 0.5% Cu, 0.13% Sn, 2.6g/t Ag, includes
      • 0.3m at 1.5% Cu, 1.8% Sn, 11.5g/t Ag
      • 1.6m at 1.7% Cu, 0.08% Sn, 6.8g/t Ag
      • 1.3m at 1.0% Cu, 0.53% Sn, 8.7g/t Ag

Drill hole LRD125 extends the copper-tin mineralisation approximately 50m down-dip to the north of hole LRD96 and intersected a 26m wide zone of visible copper mineralization from approximately 89m down-hole. This includes a 0.25m thick interval with exceptionally high-grade copper and tin. Best results include:

  • 10.1m at 0.8% Cu, 0.18% Sn, 3.1g/t Agfrom 105m, including
    • 0.25m at 17.3% Cu, 0.56% Sn, 59.3g/t Ag

Drill hole LRD118 tested a 100m gap between drill holes LRD114 and 29, and intersected several close-spaced, high-grade copper intervals with plus 1% Cu between 37.55m and 112.70m down-hole depth. This includes mainly chalcopyrite and lesser secondary chalcocite, and sphalerite and galena in the lower-most interval. The hole confirmed that high copper grades continue down-dip from LRD114, which returned 6.7m at 3.1% Cu and 17.5g/t Ag (PGZ News Release, April 5, 2022). Results include:

  • 1.35m at 1.7% Cu, 11.3g/t Ag, 0.2g/t Au from 37.55m
  • 0.3m at 16.9% Cu, 0.03% Sn, 78.6g/t Ag, 0.17g/t Aufrom 52.7m
  • 0.3m at 2.6% Cu, 9.2g/t Ag from 69.2m
  • 0.75m at 4.4% Cu, 21g/t Ag from 95.15m
  • 0.2m at 2.2% Cu, 30.8g/t Ag, 1,13% Pb, 1.44% Zn from 112.5m

Drill holes LRD111, 121, 122 and 126 at the northern limits in the west of the main target area intersected multiple thin copper-tin intervals. The results indicate decreasing mineralization down-dip towards the northwest and show grade and thickness increasing up-dip. The mineralization remains open in the direction of the historic La Romana mine workings located approximately 300m to the west.

Drill holes LRD117, 116, 119 and 124, from east to west along the southern limits of the mineralized area, intersected copper mineralization immediately beneath 20 to 30m of cover sediments. Results show that the shallow supergene chalcocite mineralization present locally over the main copper zone also extends over the footwall. Selected results include 13.35m @ 0.33% Cu, 1.1 g/t Ag from 34.65m in LRD117, 21.05m @ 0.2% Cu and 1.3 g/t Ag from 30m in LRD 116 and 0.3m @ 8% Cu and 14.4 g/t Ag from 106.25m down-hole in LRD117.

Drill hole LRD97 was drilled 750m to the north of the main La Romana target testing an IP chargeability anomaly. The hole intersected approximately 40m of anomalous copper from 190m down-hole associated with chlorite altered and silicified dacitic volcanics, including several intervals 0.3 to 1.6m thick with grades from 0.4 to 1.5% Cu. The sequence of altered volcanics with copper mineralization indicates further exploration potential and potentially a separate hydrothermal event in the hanging wall to the La Romana mineralization.

Drill hole LRD108 was drilled 450m north of the La Romana deposit testing an IP chargeability anomaly. The hole intersected a similar package of alternating shales and dacitic volcanics as in LRD97 with less intense alteration and no significant copper mineralization. However, the hole is weakly anomalous (5 to 10 times background) in lead and zinc over an approx. 70m-wide interval from 160m down-hole with up to 0.4% Pb + Zn, indicating the outer halo to a potentially large hydrothermal system.

Assay results are pending for an additional fourteen completed drill holes at La Romana. A total of 139 drill holes have now been completed at the La Romana discovery and drilling is ongoing.

Exploration is in progress to refine drill targets over several large gravity anomalies immediately south of La Jarosa at Pilar, Pilar South and Bravo Norte. Interpretation of the recent heliborne EM survey is continuing and confirms a conductor anomaly coincident with the La Romana copper mineralization and shows multiple new untested conductor targets. Current plans include up to sixty additional drill holes and testing of six new targets, which is a focus for the remainder of 2022.

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).

FPX Nickel Announces Expansion to Generative Alliance with JOGMEC

FPX Nickel Announces Expansion to Generative Alliance with JOGMEC

FPX Nickel Corp. (TSXV: FPX) (OTCQB: FPOCF) (" FPX " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce an expansion of the Company's Global Generative Alliance (the " Generative Alliance ") program with Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (" JOGMEC "). Building on Year One progress and positive momentum achieved to-date, FPX and JOGMEC have agreed to an expanded Year Two budget. The program will remain focused on the global identification and acquisition of high-quality awaruite nickel properties similar in geological character to the Company's flagship Baptiste Nickel Project (" Baptiste ") in central British Columbia.

Highlights

  • Global Generative Alliance budget increased from initially planned $650,000 to $1,500,000 for Year Two
  • Through ongoing evaluations in five international and three Canadian jurisdictions, the Generative Alliance program remains on track to define Designated Projects to be joint ventured by FPX and JOGMEC starting in Year Two
  • The Generative Alliance program has staked approximately 120 km 2 of prospective ground in British Columbia

"We are pleased with our progress during Year One of our Generative Alliance with JOGMEC and look forward to increasing momentum through a significantly expanded Year Two budget," commented Andrew Osterloh , FPX's Senior Vice-President of Projects and Operations. "Our shared vision of realizing new globally significant awaruite nickel deposits remains resolute, and with ongoing evaluations in multiple Canadian and International jurisdictions, we are on track to achieve our shared objective of defining Designated Projects starting in Year Two."

A JOGMEC representative commented: "JOGMEC has decided to increase funding for Year Two activities with a view to identifying significant new awaruite deposits, which could be a globally significant, low-carbon, source of nickel for the electric vehicle battery supply chain toward the realization of a carbon-neutral society."

In April 2023 , FPX and JOGMEC initiated a Generative Alliance to carry out mineral exploration activities for the identification and acquisition of high-quality awaruite nickel targets on a worldwide basis. Under the terms of the agreement, JOGMEC funded 100% of the $650,000 budget in Year One (covering the year ended March 31, 2024 ) and will fund 100% of the first $650,000 budgeted for Year Two (for the year ended March 31, 2025 ).

Building on Year One progress and the positive results of work completed to-date, FPX and JOGMEC have agreed to expand the Year Two budget to a total of $1,500,000 . Under the terms of the agreement for Year Two, after JOGMEC has funded a cumulative total of $1,300,000 , the parties will fund ensuing exploration activities on pro-rata basis (FPX 40% and JOGMEC 60%).

Subject to agreement between FPX and JOGMEC, one or more specific targets identified by the Generative Alliance may be advanced to a second phase to be further developed as a separate designated project (" Designated Project "). Each Designated Project will have its own work program and budget with the objective, of testing and further developing the identified targets. For each Designated Project, JOGMEC and FPX will respectively fund 60% and 40% for approved work programs.

During Year One of the Generative Alliance, FPX's exploration team conducted evaluations and/or sampling programs in five international and three Canadian jurisdictions. With multiple evaluations ongoing, and further prospective opportunities identified, the program is on track to identify Designated Projects in its second year.

Representing the first ground staked under the Generative Alliance, the Company is pleased to announce the acquisition of approximately 120 km 2 of new mineral claims in British Columbia. This staking was based on historic sampling by FPX coupled with updated geological interpretation based on FPX's learnings at Baptiste.

The Company is currently strategizing on additional mineral tenure acquisitions within British Columbia , elsewhere in Canada , and in multiple international jurisdictions across multiple continents; one or more of such land packages may ultimately be selected as a Designated Project under the terms of the Generative Alliance. As and when Designated Projects are confirmed, FPX will provide additional disclosure regarding the location and planned work programs for such Projects.

Keith Patterson , P.Geo., FPX's Vice President, Generative Exploration, FPX's Qualified Person under NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical content of this news release.

About the Decar Nickel District

The Company's Baptiste Nickel Project represents a large-scale greenfield discovery of nickel mineralization in the form of a sulphur-free, nickel-iron mineral called awaruite (Ni 3 Fe) hosted in an ultramafic/ophiolite complex. The Baptiste mineral claims cover an area of 245 km 2 west of Middle River and north of Trembleur Lake, in central British Columbia. In addition to the Baptiste Deposit itself, awaruite mineralization has been confirmed through drilling at several target areas within the same claims package, most notably at the Van Target which is located 6 km to the north of the Baptiste Deposit. Since 2010, approximately US $30 million has been spent on the exploration and development of Baptiste.

The Baptiste Deposit is located within the Baptiste Creek watershed, on the traditional and unceded territories of the Tl'azt'en Nation and Binche Whut'en, and within several Tl'azt'enne and Binche Whut'enne keyohs. FPX has conducted mineral exploration activities to date subject to the conditions of agreements with First Nations and keyoh holders.

About FPX Nickel Corp.

FPX Nickel Corp. is focused on the exploration and development of the Decar Nickel District, located in central British Columbia , and other occurrences of the same unique style of naturally occurring nickel-iron alloy mineralization known as awaruite.

Northern Dynasty: USACE Updates the Pebble Permitting Process in Light of the EPA Veto

Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. (TSX:NDM);(NYSE American:NAK) ("Northern Dynasty" or the "Company") and 100%-owned U.S.- based subsidiary Pebble Limited Partnership ("Pebble Partnership" or "PLP") have been advised by the US Army Corps of Engineers ("USACE") that, after months of successive delays, the USACE has declined to engage in the remand process related to the November 25, 2020 denial of a permit application for the Pebble Project, citing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's ("EPA") intervening veto of the development at Pebble

After the November 25, 2020, denial of the permit application for the Pebble Project, a separate division of the USACE remanded the denial decision back to the USACE Alaska District on April 25, 2023, after an administrative review found numerous errors with the denial decision. Today, after several requests for extensions, the USACE has announced that it has declined to engage in the remand process altogether. The USACE reasoning is due to the EPA veto, which effectively prevents them from altering their decision while that veto is in place. On March 15, 2024, we announced we were filing an appeal of the EPA veto in Federal District Court in Alaska, and the State of Alaska filed its action against the veto on April 11, 2024.
