Confirms wide zone of near-surface gold mineralization up-dip from drill intercepts with copper-gold VMS-style and gold-only mineralization at Cañada Honda discovery
3-km-long gravity and EM anomaly highlights potential for a large-scale deposit
Strong potential to expand both gold and copper mineralization
VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Pan Global Resources Inc. ("Pan Global" or the "Company") (TSXV: PGZ) (OTCQB: PGZFF) (FRA: 2EU) is pleased to announce the results of continuous twin saw-cut channel sampling within a historical mine tunnel at the Cañada Honda target in the Company's 100%-owned Escacena Project ("Escacena") in the Iberian Pyrite Belt, southern Spain. The channel sampling follows a maiden 16-hole drill campaign completed in 2024 on the eastern end of the Cañada Honda target. The results support targeting for a Phase 2 exploration drill program at Cañada Honda in 2026.

"This continuous 26-meter (m) interval grading 1.14 grams per tonne (g/t) gold further confirms the presence of significant mineralization from surface at the Cañada Honda discovery. Drilling during the Phase 1 program in 2024 was focused on the east end of a large, 3-kilometre (km) coincident gravity and electromagnetic anomaly. The results demonstrate the potential for a much larger copper-gold system at the Cañada Honda discovery," said Tim Moody, Pan Global's President and CEO.
"The portfolio of new copper and gold targets has significantly expanded in 2025 with the addition of the new Escacena South area and a new gold discovery at the Cármenes Project in northern Spain. Work on the maiden mineral resource for the copper-tin-silver La Romana deposit is progressing well for delivery by year-end. The 2026 exploration program is shaping up to be one of our most exciting to date."
Highlights
New assay results returned 1.14 g/t gold (Au) over 26m (open; starts and ends in mineralization), including 1.64 g/t Au and 0.16% copper (Cu) over 6m and 2.52g/t Au over 6m from a continuous channel sample in a historical mine tunnel at the Cañada Honda target.
The results confirm a wide zone of near-surface gold mineralization, extending 150m up-dip from the nearest drillhole (CHD10) and 450m dip-extent (open at depth and along-strike).
Drilling to-date intersected copper-gold volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS)–style mineralization and stacked gold-bearing veins in the hanging wall, with potential ore grades and thickness. See July 18, 2024 media release for the most recent Cañada Honda drill results.
The copper-gold mineralization is coincident with both a gravity anomaly and a helicopter-borne electromagnetic (EM) resistivity-low anomaly that extends for approximately three kilometres east–west, indicating large size potential.
Only a small portion of the Cañada Honda geophysics target is tested to-date, primarily at the eastern end where mineralization is nearest surface.
Additional geochemical sampling and drilling is warranted to test for potential expansion of the near surface mineralization, in addition to further drilling to test for potential deeper VMS mineralization.
Cañada Honda Next Steps
Additional surface geochemical sampling to evaluate the lateral extent of near-surface gold mineralization;
Continued geological mapping and structural interpretation to refine drill targets; and,
Potential step-out drilling to target expansion of the near surface mineralization, and test for additional VMS-style copper-gold mineralization associated with the deeper extensions of the coincident gravity and EM anomalies.
Assay results are pending for ongoing drill programs at the Escacena and Cármenes Projects, with drilling currently in-progress at the Bravo and Providencia targets.
About the Escacena and Escacena South Project areas
The Escacena and Escacena South Project comprises a large, contiguous mineral rights land package controlled 100% by Pan Global in the east of the Iberian Pyrite Belt. The area has been expanded from 5,760-hectares to more than 10,000-hectares with the award of the Flores, Rosario and Girasoles mineral rights in September 2025. Pan Global has also submitted four additional Investigation Permit applications covering 3,888-hectares (Inmaculada, Santa Isabel, Santa Micaela I and Santa Micaela II) that will further increase the mineral rights holdings in the Iberian Pyrite Belt to more than 13,900-hectares. 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 commencing a new underground mine development beneath the former Los Frailes open-pit mine. The Escacena Project hosts Pan Global's La Romana copper-tin-silver deposit, the Cañada Honda copper-gold discovery, and a number of other prospective targets.
About Pan Global Resources

Cañada Honda sampling details and QA/QC
A total of 26 rock-chip samples were collected continuously along the side walls of the historical mine tunnel within a horizontal twin saw-cut channel, and each sample representing 1.0 meter of channel length. Sampling was conducted under the direct supervision of Qualified Person, following best industry practices. A detailed 3-dimensional survey was also completed from within tunnel, allowing precise location of the channel samples. The sampling results are considered to be of sufficient quality and reliability for potential inclusion in a future mineral resource estimate.
Rock samples were delivered to the ALS sample preparation facility in Seville, and assayed at the ALS facility in Ireland. All samples were crushed, split and pulverized using methods CRU-31, SPL-22Y and PUL-31. Gold analysis was by 50gm Fire assay with ICP finish (Au-ICP22). Multi element analysis was undertaken using a 4-acid digest with ICP-AES finish (ME-ICP61). Over-grade samples were analyzed using 4-acid digest with ICP-AES finish for base metals (OG62), and Fire Assay with Gravity Finish for gold (Au-GRA22). Certified reference materials were inserted at a 1/25 samples.
