Company elects not to proceed with proposed Warrant extension
VANCOUVER, BC, April 23, 2026 /CNW/ - Pan Global Resources Inc. ("Pan Global" or the "Company") (TSXV: PGZ) (OTCQB: PGZFF) (FRA: 2EU) is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement financing with an existing strategic investor, Alpayana ("Alpayana") to purchase 45,000,000 Common Shares (the "Shares") of the Company at a price of C$0.16 per Share for aggregate gross proceeds of C$7,200,000 (the "Offering"). At closing of the Offering, Alpayana will hold approximately 19.9% of the outstanding shares of Pan Global.
In addition, in consideration of the Offering with Alpayana, the Board of the Company has elected not to proceed with the previously announced Warrant extension (see April 21, 2026 media release). The Company invites warrant-holders to exercise their warrants before the expiry date of May 6, 2026.
"We are extremely pleased with Alpayana's offer to significantly increase its strategic investment in Pan Global. Alpayana is a Peruvian mining company with six operating mines in Latin America. This strategic investment is a strong endorsement of the potential in the Company's projects in Spain and allows the Company to accelerate drilling at our Escacena and Cármenes Projects focussed on both expanding the current Escacena resource base and accelerating exploration for new discoveries in the next twelve to eighteen months," said Tim Moody, President and CEO.
The proceeds of the Offering will be used to double the current drilling plan to 20,000 meters and expand and accelerate exploration at the Company's Escacena and Cármenes Projects. This includes:
- Drilling to extend and expand the Cañada Honda copper-gold deposit, where a preliminary resource, drill results and a large untested coincident gravity and electro-magnetic target indicate significant expansion potential;
- Expanding exploration activities in the highly prospective and large Escacena South area. This will commence with a heliborne geophysics survey followed by an aggressive drill program. Applications for access and permits for the drill program are in progress and expected later this year;
- Follow-up drilling at the Cármenes Project, with the focus on expanding the Providencia target and drill-testing additional targets identified from recent exploration; and,
- General corporate purposes.
The Offering is subject to final TSX Venture Exchange acceptance.

About the Escacena Project, Southern Spain
The Escacena Project, recently added Escacena South area and new application areas, together comprise a mineral rights land package covering more than 13,000-hectares controlled 100% by Pan Global in the east of the Iberian Pyrite Belt, Europe's second-largest copper-producing region. Escacena is located near the operating mine at Riotinto (Atalaya) and is immediately adjacent to the former Aznalcóllar and Los Frailes mines where Minera Los Frailes (Grupo México) is commencing a new underground mine development beneath the former Los Frailes open pit mine. The Escacena Project includes Mineral Resource Estimates at the La Romana copper-tin-silver and Cañada Honda copper-gold deposits and hosts 15 other prospective targets for follow-up.
Escacena Project Maiden Mineral Resource Estimates
La Romana
- Measured and Indicated: 32.4 Mt at 0.37% Cu, 270 ppm Sn, 1.7 g/t Ag, 0.44% CuEq (119.5 kt Cu, 8.8 kt Sn, 1.7 Moz Ag) – at 0.2 % copper cutoff grade, and
- Inferred: 4.0 Mt at 0.40% Cu, 71 ppm Sn, 1.4 g/t Ag; 0.42% CuEq (15.8 kt Cu, 0.3 kt Sn, 0.2 Moz Ag) – at 0.2% copper cutoff grade.
Cañada Honda
- Inferred: 5.0 Mt at 0.65 g/t Au, 0.14% Cu, 1.2 g/t Ag; 0.74 g/t AuEq (104 koz Au, 6.8 kt Cu, 0.2 Moz Ag) – at 0.25 g/t gold cutoff grade.

About the Cármenes Project, Northern Spain
The Cármenes Project is located on the Rio Narcea Gold Belt approx. 55km north of the city of León and comprises five Investigation Permits over 5,653 hectares held 100% by Pan Global. The Project area is highly prospective for multiple bodies or "clusters" of carbonate-hosted hydrothermal/epithermal style copper, nickel, cobalt, and gold mineralization. The area includes the former Profunda and Providencia mines that operated until the 1930s, producing concentrates of copper and cobalt with nickel. Numerous other smaller historical mine workings occur in the area highlight the potential for additional mineralization. These types of ore deposits can have significant vertical dimensions exceeding 1km. The Company's maiden drill program in 2025 at the Providencia target intersected significant gold, indicating potential for the first significant gold discovery in Spain in more than two decades.
