Pan Global Begins Ambitious 2026 Drill Program at Escacena Project in Spain
Pan Global Commences 2026 Drill Program at Escacena Project
Pan Global Resources Inc. (TSX-V: PGZ, OTCQB: PGZFF, FRA: 2EU) has announced the start of its highly anticipated drilling program for the year 2026 at the Escacena Project, located in the Iberian Pyrite Belt of southern Spain. This initiative marks a significant step for the company as it seeks to explore new mineralization opportunities and expand its resource base.
Exciting Developments at El Pozo
The first target of this multi-target drilling program is El Pozo, a large-scale site less than 3 kilometers north of the La Romana copper-tin-silver deposit and approximately 2 kilometers west of the Cañada Honda copper-gold deposit. This area has shown significant promise due to its historical mining operations and notable geochemical and geophysical signatures.
The planned drilling at El Pozo includes as many as four boreholes aimed at investigating a previously unexplored target area characterized by historical mining workings, copper-zinc soil samples, and strong induced polarization (IP), electromagnetic (EM), and gravity responses. Historical mining records indicate operations in the area, but there is a lack of detailed production data.
Historical Context and Indicators
Tim Moody, the President and CEO of Pan Global, stated, "El Pozo presents a promising large-scale target to begin the 2026 drilling campaign in Escacena. The correlation between geophysical data and copper geochemical profiles, including an extensive east-west copper soil anomaly over 1.6 km, suggests strong indicators for a potential volcanic massive sulfide (VMS) mineralization system that may enhance at depth." This drilling program is integral to enhancing Pan Global's copper resource base through targeted and highly reliable exploration drilling.
Exploration at Multiple Sites
The 2026 drill program aims not only to explore El Pozo but also to investigate up to 15 untested targets. Future drilling plans include target areas Cortijo in Escacena North, and Trinidad and Carmen within the newly acquired Escacena South properties. Also under consideration is drilling to explore the extensions of the La Romana and Cañada Honda deposits. The company has dedicated itself to regularly updating the public on these results as they become available.
The Escacena Project
Recently expanded to include the Escacena South area, the Escacena Project spans over 13,000 hectares, entirely controlled by Pan Global, positioning the company strategically in Europe’s second-largest copper production region. It is situated near the operational Riotinto Mine (Atalaya) and adjacent to former mines such as Aznalcóllar and Los Frailes, where Grupo México is about to commence the development of an underground mine beneath the prior open-pit Los Frailes mine.
The mineral resource estimates for the La Romana copper-tin-silver deposit indicate measured and indicated resources of 32.4 million tonnes at 0.37% copper, with derived resources estimated at 4 million tonnes at 0.40% copper. The Cañada Honda deposit shows derived resources of 5.0 million tonnes at 0.65 g/t gold. The depth and potential of these deposits indicate promising opportunities for future excavation and production.
