Spanish Copper Explorer Positioned for Growth
Pan Global Resources is focused on systematically advancing high-potential copper assets in Spain during turbulent market conditions. Through disciplined allocation of newly raised exploration funding, the company aims to boost resources ahead of an eventual cyclical recovery in copper prices.
Pan Global holds prospective ground in the Iberian Pyrite Belt in southern Spain, a historically prolific copper-producing region hosting clusters of unmined deposits similar to those being explored. The company's discoveries are located near existing infrastructure, lowering potential development hurdles.
CEO Tim Moody raised A$6 million in 2023, providing funding until 2025. The prudent raise prevents unnecessary dilution while progressing two promising discoveries called La Romana and Cañada Honda. Despite recent equity raises being heavily discounted across the sector, Moody secured adequate funding on reasonable terms demonstrating confidence in the quality assets.
La Romana Step-Out Drilling Underway
A 25-hole Phase 3 drill campaign is expanding the La Romana discovery, located beside a former producing copper mine. Broad mineralized intercepts of high-grade copper were left unmined around shallow historic workings. Five holes from the Phase 3 program are still pending, but results to date have extended copper mineralized zones by 250-300 meters to the west based on 20 holes.
The most recent hole returned 16 meters at over 1% copper in extensions west of previous drilling, while hole ULDDH022 demonstrated consistent grade and thickness even further west. Management believes mineralization continues towards encouraging historic surface workings, with downhole electromagnetics and soil sampling supporting further step-out potential.
Cañada Honda Exploration Early Stage
The Cañada Honda target represents a new discovery where early indications point to compelling grade potential across wide zones akin to La Romana. An 11-hole maiden drill program is underway, testing a subsurface fault structure that may have focused copper-bearing fluids.
While Cañada Honda is still early stage, the company's methodical exploration strategy aims to systematically probe and expand new zones. Cañada Honda provides shareholders additional upside not factored into the current valuation.
Approaching Resource Estimates Methodically
Pan Global has completed sufficient drilling to estimate an initial resource at La Romana but believes additional strike-length extensions could substantially boost economics. The focus is on value optimization rather than rushing estimates to realize short-term gains. In a weaker copper price environment, the company is taking a patient approach oriented towards maximizing project potential before completing technical and economic studies.
As prominent mines in the region consist of clusters of multiple deposits, the potential future vision is for centralized mining infrastructure, should ongoing exploration continue yielding additional resource growth. The company's investments in geophysical analysis and systematic testing of mapped targets provides the best opportunity to realize that vision of consolidated regional operations.
Positioned for a Copper Price Recovery
Pan Global Resources offers investors leverage to high-value copper assets located in a premier jurisdiction, while following a clear strategy to increase resources systematically without excessive dilution. The company has funding to progress both discoveries into 2025, with additional upside from earlier positive market shifts. As Europe looks to shore up domestic mineral supply amidst energy transition, shareholders could benefit from re-rating as copper fundamentals improve.
