Pan Global Resources Inc. (TSX-V: PGZ) (OTCQX: PGZFF) (FSE: 2EU) is pleased to announce results for three additional stepout drillholes from the 11-hole drill program at the Cañada Honda copper-gold (Cu-Au) discovery, at the Company’s 100% owned Escacena Project in the Iberian Pyrite Belt, southern Spain. Drilling is continuing to test for extensions to the Cañada Honda copper and gold mineralization. Cañada Honda is located approx. 3.5km north of Pan Global’s La Romana copper-tin-silver (Cu-Sn-Ag) discovery, where further stepout drilling is also planned to continue.
“These latest drill results include the best gold intercept to-date at the Cañada Honda target and expands the copper-gold mineralization 80 meters to the northwest. Results also confirm additional near-surface mineralization in the east of the target area. The increasing width of the mineralization to the west and strong correlation with the geophysics are highly encouraging, indicating excellent potential for the mineralization to continue and improve along the two-kilometer east-west gravity target. Wide-spaced stepout drilling is progressing at Cañada Honda, with 13 drill holes now completed spanning a surface area of 450-by-300 meters,” said Tim Moody, Pan Global’s President & CEO.
Highlights:
“The results are further validation of the exploration models and methodologies that we are using. As most deposits in the Iberian Pyrite Belt occur in clusters, these latest results enhance the potential for additional discoveries at the many compelling geophysics targets yet to be drill tested within Pan Global’s Escacena Project area,” said Moody.
Two styles of mineralization are recognized at Cañada Honda:

About the Escacena Project
The Escacena Project comprises a large, contiguous, 5,760-hectare land package controlled 100% by Pan Global in the east of the Iberian Pyrite Belt. Escacena is located near the operating mine at Riotinto and is immediately adjacent to the former Aznalcóllar and Los Frailes mines where Minera Los Frailes/Grupo México is in the final permitting stage with construction anticipated to start in 2024. The Escacena Project hosts Pan Global’s La Romana copper-tin-silver and Cañada Honda copper-gold discoveries and a number of other prospective targets, including, Bravo, Barbacena, El Pozo, Romana Norte, San Pablo, Zarcita, Hornitos, La Jarosa, and Romana Deep, and most recently Cortijo.

QA/QC Procedures
Core size was HQ (63mm) and all samples were ½ core. Nominal sample size was 1m core length and ranged from 0.5 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). Over grade base metal results were assayed using a 4-acid digest ICP AES (method OG-62).
