VANCOUVER, BC , Dec. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Pan Global Resources Inc. ("Pan Global" or the "Company") (TSXV: PGZ) (OTCQB: PGZFF) (FRA: 2EU) is pleased to announce positive results for six step-out drillholes at the La Romana target ("La Romana"), in the Company's 100%-owned Escacena Project ("Escacena") in the Iberian Pyrite Belt, southern Spain. These drillholes targeted extensions of the mineralization for inclusion in a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate. A total of 192 drillholes totalling 38,734 meters have been drilled to date at the La Romana copper-tin-silver deposit.
Drill highlights
- Drillhole LRD189
- 2.0m at 1.63% CuEq1 (1.55% Cu, 0.01% Sn, 11.2 g/t Ag) from 86m, and
- 5.0m at 1.46% CuEq1 (1.01% Cu, 0.16% Sn, 4.5 g/t Ag) from 185m, including
- 1.0m at 3.02% CuEq1 (2.47% Cu, 0.19% Sn, 9.2 g/t Ag)
- Drillhole LRD191
- 6.0m at 1.31% CuEq1 (1.26% Cu, 0.01% Sn, 2.3 g/t Ag) from 122m, including
- 1.0m at 4.77% CuEq1 (4.63% Cu, 0.03% Sn, 9.6 g/t Ag)
- 6.0m at 1.31% CuEq1 (1.26% Cu, 0.01% Sn, 2.3 g/t Ag) from 122m, including
"The La Romana mineralized trend shows excellent continuity extending over 1.7km east-west. The latest drill results extend the higher-grade copper-tin mineralization down-dip, confirming that it remains open to the north and northwest. Copper mineralization identified in the hanging wall and footwall of the main mineralization body could potentially be captured in a conceptual open pit. Additional step out drilling planned for 2026 is expected to further extend the strike of La Romana mineralized trend," said Tim Moody, President and CEO.
The Company is progressing with the maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for the Escacena Project and will announce the results upon completion.
Key results:
- Step-out drilling focused on testing for extensions of higher-grade copper mineralization down-dip and along strike to further delineation of the deposit for a maiden resource
- The results confirm copper-tin mineralization continues and extends down-dip on several sections
- Drillholes LRD191 with 1.26% Cu over 6m, and LRD189 with 1.01% Cu, 0.16% Sn, 4.5 g/t Ag over 5m, both confirm the high-grade copper and tin mineralization continues a further 50m down-dip and remains open
- Results also confirm additional near-surface copper intercepts in the hanging wall and in the footwall to the main mineralization
- Higher-grade copper mineralization in the western extension is indicated to plunge to the northwest a further 125m based on downhole electromagnetics

1 Copper Equivalent = CuEq. CuEq is calculated using Cu, Sn, and Ag grades. Metallurgical recoveries include 86% for Cu, 68% for Sn and 56% for Ag, based on preliminary studies performed by Wardell Armstrong International and MinePro. The CuEq calculation uses US$8,693/tonne Cu, US$ 29,069/tonne Sn and US$23.72/oz Ag, corresponding to the three-year monthly price averages to July 2023. The effective formula is [CuEq %] = [Cu %] + 2.6440 * [Sn %] + 0.0057 * [Ag ppm] |

About the Escacena Project and Escacena South areas
The Escacena Project and recently added Escacena South area 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.

Sampling details and QA/QC
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). Multi‑element analysis was undertaken using a four‑acid digest with ICP‑AES finish (method ME‑ICP61). Over‑grade base metal results were assayed using a four‑acid digest with ICP‑AES (method OG‑62). Tin (Sn) were analyzed by lithium borate fusion with ICP‑MS finish (method MS85), which provides a total digestion of resistant mineral phases.
