PAN GLOBAL COMMENCES GROUND GEOPHYSICS AT BRAVO COPPER TARGET, ESCACENA PROJECT, IN PREPARATION FOR MAIDEN DRILL PROGRAM
TSXV: PGZ | OTCQX: PGZFF | FRA: 2EU
- High priority 2.0km x 1.5km gravity anomaly at Bravo coincident with a large soil lead-zinc anomaly
- Helicopter electromagnetic anomalies provide additional strong indicators of sulphide mineralization associated with the gravity target
- IP survey underway to delineate targets for drilling
- Upsized private placement financing on track for closing
VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pan Global Resources Inc. ("Pan Global" or the "Company") (TSXV: PGZ) (OTCQX: PGZFF) (FRA: 2EU) is pleased to announce it has initiated an induced polarization ("IP") survey to prioritize and finalize initial drillhole locations at the Bravo target ("Bravo") within the Company's 100%-owned Escacena Project ("Escacena") in the Iberian Pyrite Belt, southern Spain.
"Recent soil sample geochemistry and gravity survey results provide strong indicators that the large Bravo target could represent concealed volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralization beneath shallow cover, similar to Pan Global's nearby La Romana copper-tin-silver discovery. The IP survey will help identify sulphide concentrations associated with potential copper mineralization with drilling expected to follow soon after completion," said Tim Moody, Pan Global's President & CEO.
"Helicopter electromagnetic (HEM) survey data also highlights resistivity low anomalies on multiple lines coincident with the gravity target, providing an additional positive indicator of potential sulphide mineralization. IP surveys in combination with gravity proved effective in leading to the discovery of the La Romana copper mineralization," said Mr. Moody.
The planned IP survey at Bravo will target a 2.0km x 1.5km strong gravity anomaly with coincident anomalous lead plus zinc (Pb+Zn) and silver soil geochemistry. The IP survey method will be dipole-dipole with 50-meter dipole spacing and will include seven lines (12-to-15 line-kilometers) and is expected to take approximately two-to-three weeks to complete (Figure 1).
Helicopter electromagnetic data from the Company's 2022 survey shows low-resistivity anomalies (Figure 2) coincident with the Bravo gravity target, providing another strong indicator of potential sulphide mineralization.
The Bravo target is located 1.5km east of Pan Global's La Romana copper-tin-silver discovery and 4.5km southwest of Grupo México's Aznalcóllar and Los Frailes VMS deposits. Bravo is mostly covered by post-mineral rocks and sediments and has never been drill tested.
Pan Global is also pleased to note that the Company's upsized private placement financing is on track for closing on or about November 6, 2024. The net proceeds of the offering will be used to advance the Company's advanced exploration program in Spain and for general corporate purposes.
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 to allow new mine construction to commence. 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, Romana Deep, and Cortijo.
