Pan Global intends to announce details of an investor webinar and live Q&A session in due course to discuss the Mineral Resource Estimates. No additional material information will be disclosed.
"Several years of disciplined exploration at Escacena resulted in multiple discoveries, including the La Romana and Cañada Honda deposits. The high proportion of Measured Resource and the in-pit component at La Romana confirms the strong continuity of the mineral system. The initial resource at Cañada Honda, located approx. 4 km north of La Romana, adds a second distinct gold-dominant mineralized system with meaningful copper and silver content," said Tim Moody, President and CEO.
Mr Moody added: "Advanced metallurgical tests at La Romana, confirming the metallurgical characteristics of the mineralization, indicate the potential to produce concentrates with higher copper grades and very low levels of penalty elements. With both deposits open for expansion and a pipeline of exploration targets, located in an established mining district, Escacena has a solid technical foundation to build upon through the next stages of advancement of exploration and technical evaluation."

Equivalent grades are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not used for cut-off grade determination. Equivalent grades were calculated using metal prices and recoveries only and do not include payability or refining charges.
Key Technical Notes
- Mineral Resources are reported in accordance with NI 43-101 and CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (2014).
- Mineral Resources are exclusive of Mineral Reserves and have no demonstrated economic viability.
- The same bulk density values were applied to both total and in-pit Mineral Resources: La Romana 2.88 t/m³, Cañada Honda 2.70 t/m³.
- In-Pit resources are constrained using metal price, recoveries, cost, and pit-slope assumptions appropriate for resource estimation purposes.
Estimation Methodology
The MREs for La Romana and Cañada Honda were prepared by Orelogy Consulting Pty Ltd (Orelogy) under the supervision of a Qualified Person ("QP") in accordance with NI 43-101 and the 2014 CIM Definition Standards. The La Romana MRE is based on 198 diamond drill holes (41,528 m) and the Cañada Honda MRE on 16 drill holes (5,495 m). Mineralization was modelled using 3D geological wireframes. Grades for Cu, Sn, Ag, and Au were estimated into a block model using Ordinary Kriging, with search parameters and block sizes (e.g. 10m x 5m x 4m) optimized to reflect the local geometry and continuity of mineralization. High-grade outliers were restricted through top-cutting to ensure statistical representativeness. Models were validated using visual inspection, global statistical comparisons, and swath plot analysis.
Reasonable Prospects for Eventual Economic Extraction (RPEEE)
To demonstrate RPEEE, Mineral Resources are reported within conceptual open-pit shells generated using a Whittle optimization. Assumptions include:
- Metal Prices: Cu
US /lb, Sn$4.80 US /t, Ag$35,000 US /oz, Au$45.0 US /oz.$3,200 - Operating Costs:

$2.50 /t milled (site and project level G&A cost). - Recoveries:
- La Romana:
86.4% Cu,58.1% Sn,55.7% Ag. - Cañada Honda:
95.0% Au,50.0% Cu,90.0% Ag. - Geotechnical Parameters: Conceptual pit slopes of 45° in fresh rock and 40° in weathered material.
