/R E P E A T -- PAN GLOBAL INTERSECTS 1.08 G/T GOLD OVER 46 METERS FROM NEAR SURFACE IN FIRST DRILLHOLE AT CÁRMENES PROJECT, SPAIN/
- Discovery of significant near-surface gold mineralization (1.08 g/t Au over 46m) in first drillhole
- High-grade interval of 6.27 g/t gold over 4m indicates potential for concentrated mineralization
- Gold mineralization previously unknown in the area, adding new value potential
- Multiple additional targets identified in the project area suggest potential for further discoveries
- 100% ownership of the Cármenes Project provides full control over development
- First drillhole (PVD01) was abandoned after collapse before reaching target
- Insufficient drilling to determine true width of mineralization
- Historical mine workings only reached 110 meters depth, limiting historical data

100% -owned Cármenes Project, northernSpain - Potential for additional discoveries in the large Cármenes Project area
The current six-hole drill program is targeting expansion of the breccia-hosted mineralization associated with the historical Providencia copper-cobalt-nickel underground mine workings. The potential for significant gold was highlighted in recent soil, trench and channel sampling results. The Providencia target area had no previous drilling and no past reports of gold mineralization.
Drill Highlights:
- Drillhole PVD02
- 46.0m at 1.08 g/t Au from 24.0m down-hole, including
- 4.0m at 6.27 g/t Au, 0.25 g/t Pt+Pd from 66.0m
- 46.0m at 1.08 g/t Au from 24.0m down-hole, including
"The first drill results at the Providencia target represent an exceptional start to Pan Global's maiden drill program at Cármenes, confirming discovery of previously unknown near-surface gold mineralization over a wide interval. The results expand the breccia-hosted mineralization south of the historical high-grade copper, cobalt and nickel mine workings at Providencia and is wide open. The new gold zone occurs as a potential halo to the copper-rich mineralization found in the mine workings," said Tim Moody, Pan Global President and CEO.
"Multiple targets have been identified from soil geochemistry and mapping in the immediate area around Providencia, including the large untested Profunda target located 1km to the south. This further highlights the potential for additional discoveries in the Cármenes Project."
Key points:
- Current six-hole dill program is Pan Global's maiden drill campaign at the Cármenes Project, and the first-ever drillholes at the Providencia target.
- First completed drillhole (PVD02) intersected a high-grade interval of 6.27 g/t gold over 4m within a broader interval averaging 1.08 g/t gold over 46m from 24m down-hole.
- The gold intersection in PVD02 is associated with strong multi-stage hydrothermal breccia within strongly dolomitized/altered limestones, with local trace quantities of sulphides, and favourable very low contents of metals such as arsenic or antimony.
- Assay results are anticipated within three weeks for completed drillholes (PVD03 and PVD04), with breccia intersected over more than 120m from near-surface in PVD04. Drillhole PVD01 was abandoned before reaching the target after the hole collapsed.
- Historical underground mine workings at Providencia extracted copper, cobalt and nickel ore from within a "pipe-like" hydrothermal breccia to a depth of 110 meters. The mineralization remained open when mining ceased in the early-1930s.
- There is no record of gold extraction at Providencia and the new gold zone appears to have been previously unrecognized.
- The on-going drilling includes three step-out holes up to 120m east of the Providencia mine workings, testing beneath recently reported highly anomalous trench and channel sample results (3.11 g/t Au over 37m, and 1.74 g/t Au over 20m). [See media release from February 11, 2025]
- Large surface target area extending more than 250m x 150m, characterized by coincident strong dolomite-alteration, breccia and strongly anomalous Cu, Au, Ni, Co and Pb geochemistry in soils, trench and channel sample assays.
- Channel sampling inside the historical mine workings at Providencia is underway to better understand the continuity of the mineralization.
- Multiple targets identified in the Cármenes Project area highlight the potential for additional discoveries from the ongoing exploration program.
- Interpretation of a recently completed helicopter electromagnetic, magnetic and radiometric survey over the Cármenes Project is in progress to fast-track identification and prioritization of additional potential drill targets.
Pan Global is also pleased to report that drilling has resumed at the Company's flagship Escacena Project in southern

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
