Pan Global's Escacena Project strategically located adjacent to Minera Los Frailes Mine
VANCOUVER, BC, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Pan Global Resources Inc. ("Pan Global" or the "Company") (TSXV: PGZ) (OTCQB: PGZFF) (FRA: 2EU) today acknowledges the approval by the Government of Andalucia of the restoration plan and exploitation permit for Minera Los Frailes to develop the Los Frailes underground mine adjacent to Pan Global's 100%-owned flagship Escacena Project ("Escacena") in southern Spain. Minera Los Frailes is owned by Grupo México (97.31%), and Magtel (2.69%). Grupo México is the fourth-largest copper producer by volume globally.
The granting of the exploitation permit reaffirms Andalucia's status as a Tier-1 global mining jurisdiction. The Los Frailes zinc, copper, lead and silver mining project is expected to generate significant investment and employment in the region.
"This milestone for our neighbors at Minera Los Frailes highlights the strength of the permitting environment in Andalucia and underscores the strategic location of our 100%-owned Escacena Project," said Tim Moody, President and CEO of Pan Global. "With our La Romana copper discovery located just west of the planned Los Frailes mine, Pan Global is uniquely positioned to benefit from increased regional investment, infrastructure upgrades, and other synergies. The Los Frailes mine will be a significant new mine development, with an anticipated 20-year mine life, and a plant producing zinc, lead, and copper concentrates."
La Romana hosts a near-surface copper-tin-silver deposit with outstanding metallurgy and characteristics favorable to potential open pit development, supporting Pan Global's strategy to advance a significant, low-cost, and sustainable copper project within a Tier-1 mining district. The La Romana deposit remains open for expansion in several areas and significant upside is also represented by the many other targets in the Escacena Project area.
A multi-target drill program is continuing at Escacena as drilling is set to resume at the high priority Bravo target after a short pause for the local wheat harvest. The next round of step-out drillholes is being finalized at La Romana, targeting higher-grade extensions of mineralization. Results are also anticipated within the next two weeks from the ongoing drill program in the Cármenes Project in northern Spain where near-surface high-grade gold mineralization has been reported from the Company's first drillhole (see the May 19, 2025media release).
