• 2023 drilling expanded La Romana copper-tin-silver area of surface mineralization by more than 25%
• 2024 drill plan focused on further expanding La Romana mineralization for a maiden mineral resource estimate
• Results pending for nine completed drillholes at La Romana to be released in January
• 2023 Escacena drill campaign resulted in a new copper-gold discovery at Cañada Honda with further drill results expected in January 2024
• 11-hole step-out drill program at Cañada Honda started in November resumes in January 2024 to test the potential to significantly expand the discovery
• Growing pipeline of new geophysical targets at the Escacena Project

VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Pan Global Resources Inc. ("Pan Global" or the "Company") (TSXV: PGZ) (OTCQX: PGZFF) (FSE: 2EU) is pleased to provide a summary of milestone achievements in 2023 and plans for 2024. The 2024 Plan will focus on the Company's 100%-owned Escacena Project located in the Iberian Pyrite Belt in southern Spain, a prolific polymetallic volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) district and tier one mining jurisdiction.

"The Pan Global team delivered on key objectives in 2023 for the Company's flagship Escacena Project. The dimensions of the La Romana copper-tin-silver mineralization were increased significantly, further de-risking the project. Preliminary metallurgy tests confirmed industry-leading copper recoveries. In addition, the team made a new copper-gold discovery at the highly prospective Cañada Honda target. Plus, the pipeline of new exploration targets at Escacena was bolstered during the year following extensive detailed geophysics," said Pan Global President and CEO Tim Moody.

"With funds in place to advance the Escacena Project in 2024, investors should expect regular news flow. Results from additional drilling at La Romana are expected to further expand the western and northern extents of the La Romana mineralization in advance of a maiden mineral resource estimate. Drilling at the Cañada Honda target is also expected to expand the discovery, and plans are in place to commence exploration at the Bravo target east of La Romana as soon as we have access to the farm. We are well positioned for an exciting year expanding our two discoveries at Escacena and advancing a growing pipeline of exploration targets," said Mr. Moody.

• Completed 60 drillholes (14,992m) on five targets
• Completed preliminary metallurgy tests for La Romana confirming 86.4% to 89.5% copper recoveries at coarser grind size (lower energy) compared to regional operating mines. Copper concentrate grades of 23.8% to 28.5% with silver credits and very low deleterious elements were reported.
• Completed 20 holes of a planned 25-to-30-hole drill program testing the western projection of the near surface La Romana mineralization and confirmed continuity of the mineralization over 1.35km east-west strike extent, open to the west and at depth to the north
• Confirmed a new copper-gold discovery at Cañada Honda based on initial wide-spaced drill results
• Launched an 11-hole step-out drilling program at Cañada Honda, with drilling to resume in January to test the potential along a 2km gravity anomaly
• Expanded the portfolio of untested Escacena Project exploration targets to more than a dozen following an extensive geophysics and geochemistry survey program, including additional potential along-trend from La Romana and numerous other targets offering additional discovery potential for future drill testing

• Graduated to the OTCQX in the United States
• Strengthened the Company's sustainability and ESG commitment, targeting copper and other metals critical for global energy transition
• Announced the Company's first sustainability report, produced independently by Digbee ESG™
• Completed a C$6 million non-brokered private placement financing in October

The 2024 plan will focus on:

1. Further drilling to delineate the western and northern extent of the La Romana mineralization ahead of a maiden mineral resource estimate;
2. Additional La Romana metallurgical testwork;
3. Drilling to test the potential to significantly expand the copper-gold discovery at Cañada Honda; and,
4. Advancing the strong pipeline of new exploration targets for future drill testing.

• Drillhole results from ongoing exploration drilling at La Romana and results for step-out drilling at the Cañada Honda discovery
• Gaining surface access to the highly prospective Bravo gravity target (less than 2km along trend east of La Romana) for exploration
• Tin metallurgical test results and variability test results on the La Romana mineralization
• Ongoing exploration results and drilling on new targets
• Maiden NI 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate for La Romana and Preliminary Economic Assessment
