PAN GLOBAL INTERSECTS 3.01 G/T GOLD OVER 34 METERS NEAR SURFACE, INCLUDING 8.93 G/T GOLD OVER 5 METERS, AT CÁRMENES PROJECT, SPAIN
TSXV: PGZ | OTCQB: PGZFF | FRA: 2EU
- First assay results for drillholes testing area of breccia-hosted gold mineralization east of the historical Providencia mine workings at 100%-owned Cármenes Project
- Assays pending for hole drilled beneath surface trench with 20m of 1.7g/t gold
- Potential to expand the high-grade copper, cobalt, nickel sulphide breccia at the historical mine workings
- Multiple untested targets within Cármenes Project area
- Drilling at the flagship Escacena Project continuing at La Romana target and set to resume shortly at Bravo target
Drill Highlights:
- Assays received for two completed drillholes (PVD05 and PVD06)
- High-grade intercept in hole PVD06 (less-than 20m vertical below surface);
- 34.0m at 3.01 g/t Au from 131.0m (down-hole), including
- 5.0m at 8.93 g/t Au from 131.0m
- 2.0m at 15.18 g/t Au, 1.23 g/t Pt+Pd from 133.0m
- 4.7m at 5.65 g/t Au from 143.0m
- 2.0m at 7.15 g/t Au from 161.0m
- Highest grade assay of 17.6 g/t Au over 1m from 134.0m
- Drilling target area alongside and beneath a historical exploration tunnel where recent channel samples averaged 3.11 g/t gold over 37 meters
- Gold mineralization mainly host in red haematitic hydrothermal-altered brecciated carbonate rocks, with disseminated sulfides
- PVD06 extends gold zone up to 70m east of hole PVD02 (46m at 1.08 g/t Au), open east, west and at depth
- 34.0m at 3.01 g/t Au from 131.0m (down-hole), including
- PVD05 intersected dolomite breccia in the outer halo to the gold zone, confirming the alteration and breccia zonation model, but without significant results
- Assays pending for hole PVD07 drilled 50m east of hole PVD06, testing beneath a surface trench with 20m at 1.7 g/t Au
"The new results expand the near-surface breccia-hosted gold mineralization east of the historical mine workings and include the highest-grade gold intercept at Providencia to-date. These are the first drill results testing an area with highly anomalous gold-in-soil samples, trench and channel sampling results east of Providencia. The near surface gold mineralization intercepted in hole PVD06 extends to surface and is wide-open," said
"Providencia represents a compelling discovery opportunity, including the potential to expand the high-grade copper, cobalt, nickel sulphide breccia at the historical mine and expand the newly discovered gold zone. The drill results reinforce our breccia alteration zonation model for targeting higher grade mineralization and help identify additional mineralization at the more than two dozen identified potential targets in the Cármenes Project."

Escacena Project Drilling Update
Drilling is continuing at the Company's flagship
Drilling will resume shortly at the Bravo target after a detailed revision of the drill core and geophysics following completion of four drillholes (three holes were abandoned due to ground conditions). Sulphide minerals and/or associated alteration have been logged in holes BRD01, BRD02 and BRD04, including traces of disseminated/vein hosted sphalerite and galena in BRD04, consistent with outer parts of volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) systems. The results to-date indicate the source of the gravity and a strong IP chargeability anomaly have not yet been intersected, and potential remains for discovery of VMS mineralization. The review was designed to refine the positioning of the remaining two planned drillholes.
The maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for the La Romana deposit is on-track to commence in September for delivery in 2025.

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
